Chapter 57: I Am 9, You Are 3
Huo Beichen gradually loosened up and slowly started to relax his stare on Ning Meng as well .
“You bore me . ”
“How could it be? As long as I’m with you, everything becomes really interesting . ”
Huo Beichen said nothing, looked away, and headed upstairs .
“Hubby, I think you look sexy from the back . I mean, look at that firm and long thighs! A lot of people in this would die for that!” cooed Ning Meng .
This time she did not follow him . Instead, she waited for him downstairs .
Huo Beichen could still hear her voice outside his room .
“Let me go and cook you a bowl of noodles right now! Just wait and you’ll enjoy your meal in a bit!”
Ning Meng then proceeded to cook a bowl . When she brought the noodles out from the kitchen, she saw that Huo Beichen had just gotten out of the shower . The strong fragrance of his body shampoo filled the entire dining area when he sat on the chair .
“Hubby, can you smell it?”
Huo Beichen was all too ready to devour the noodles but was shocked by Ning Meng’s question . Could it be the smell of his sweat? After all, he had gone to the club working out the entire afternoon with Qi Shan .
“No . ” answered Huo Beichen .
“The air smells sweet when you make your presence here!”

Again, he ignored her and continued eating . Every evening, Ning Meng had to wait for the butler to deliver the food to her and it was not time yet . So, she sat right opposite Huo Beichen and continued to compliment him .
“When I was young, I don’t know the definition of handsome . Until I met you, I finally figured out that you are the epitome of handsomeness . The word is created for you alone!”
“Shut up . ”
Huo Beichen had enough of Ning Meng’s deliberate, boot-licking compliments . After that, he finished up his noodles as soon as possible and returned to his study .
Was this man’s heart made of stone? She had complimented him nonstop . Why was he still unmoved by her? Needless to say, it was going to be really hard for her to borrow money from him .
Ning Meng then went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and brought it to his room . When she opened the door, she saw that he was sitting in front of his computer while dealing with something that seemed important . He stared right into Ning Meng’s soul when he heard her enter the room .
With a smile on her face, Ning Meng placed the cup of tea on the table and started to compliment Huo Beichen again .
“Hubby, ever since I met you, I have become 9 and you are my 3* . ”
“It will always be you . ”
Huo Beichen put down the pen in hand and looked at her . Though she had the daily habit of licking his boots, she would normally stay in her room and not bother him . There must be a reason why she was extra attached to him today .
“Just say what you want to say!”
“You are my idol . You are the first person that I think of whenever I come across anything good!”
Just as he was about to reply, his cellphone rang . Someone had just sent him a message in WeChat . It was a voice message from Qi Shan, which Huo Beichen opened up .
‘Boss, your woman is praising some other man!’
After that, a recording of Ning Meng talking was played .
“I admire Mr . Li a lot! To me, he is like an angel! So, I’m really curious . How do you feel having a master as great as that?”
“It seems like you have a lot of angels around you,” Huo Beichen snapped sharply while glaring at Ning Meng .
