Her small mouth had just shot poisonous words toward Su Tiantian which had caused the latter to tremble in anger . Yet, the sight of Ning Meng was not loathsome . Rather, she looked rather mysteriously… cute?
She was the one who had advised him not to invest in the 80 million and he had not had the chance to thank her . He took a step forward when he thought about this . Ning Meng retreated slightly when she saw that he was indeed heading toward her, her eyes enlarged in fear . Before she could say anything, a voice called out .
“Come here . ”

‘You have your Li Yichen, I have my hubby!’
When Li Yichen caught sight of this scene, he straightened his back . He then politely greeted, “CEO Huo, nice to meet you . ”
Huo Beichen protected Ning Meng as he stood in front of her . After suppressing his fiery eyes, he threw him a dark glare and replied coldly, “Nice to meet you . ”

They stared at each other and the tension in the air increased as their eyes clashed .
The onlooking manager was rife with panic . The two bosses seemed to be ready to fight at any time . Would his private restaurant still be surviving if this happened?

“I’ll take my leave . ”
“I won’t be seeing you off . ”

The room door shut closed .
Huo Beichen turned and was about to explode with anger when he saw Ning Meng comforting herself by patting herself on her chest . She then said in an appreciative tone, “Hubby, luckily you came in time, otherwise, my small fists would not have been able to win a fight against Li Yichen!”
Ning Meng furrowed her brows . “That really scared me . All I did was insult Su Tiantian with a sentence or two but Li Yichen’s gaze looked as though he was about to eat somebody…”
Huo Beichen was confused . “You were thinking that Li Yichen was about to hit you?”
Ning Meng nodded her head slightly . Her teary puppy-eyes were akin to a fearful small deer . “Yes! When he was walking straight toward me, I saw his clenched fists . They were double the size of mine! I was scared to death! …Hubby, what’s with your expression? What’s going on?”
Huo Beichen’s eyes twitched and his anger immediately subsided . He rubbed her head and said, “Don’t worry, no one can bully you . ”

Ning Meng felt that these words were mysteriously sweet and felt embarrassed . “You’ve got to protect me next time, then . ”
She did not want to die a miserable death like in the original novel .
“Of course . ” Huo Beichen promised .
When they both sat down, the dishes came . The food in this restaurant was excellent and Ning Meng had been starving for a long time, so, she focused on filling herself up . Huo Beichen mostly just accompanied her and stayed silent . He would order more dishes every now and then and the food would be gobbled up in an instant .
After they had had their fill, they both walked out of the restaurant . As they boarded the car, Ning Meng was feeling sleepy .
“Hubby, let’s go home . ”
Huo Beichen’s eyes darkened, and he asked curiously, “Which home?”
She seemed to have woken up upon hearing this .
