On the top floor in the headquarters of Huo Group—the skyscraper that penetrated through the heavens in the middle of the city…
Huo Beichen was still working at his desk . Suddenly, he heard heavy breathing next to him, and as he raised his head, he saw Qi Shan staring at his phone furiously .
“Boss, this woman is such a brat!”
His smooth scribbling stopped upon hearing this, and Huo Beichen shot a look at Qi Shan’s phone and asked, “What?”
Qi Shan responded, “I’m supporting her movie out of the kindness of my heart . And yet, she still dares to say I’m poor! Boss, how can she be so ungrateful?”
Huo Beichen raised his eyebrows and glared coldly at him . “So, you’re rich then?”
Sure, he had some money, but it was nothing compared to the great Huo Beichen!
“Hahaha!” Su Ye could not help but burst out into laughter . Seeing his boss throwing him a look, Su Ye asked, “Sir, me, Qi Shan, and Fei Bai have each spent 20,000 yuan to support the missus’ movie . How much are you spending to support her?”
Huo Beichen lowered his head and continued working on his documents . “There’s no need to . ”
He had read the movie’s proposal . If the production team had put in the effort, the movie would definitely be huge .
Su Ye said, “Sir, the movie’s premiere isn’t doing too well . The missus must be depressed right about now . I do suggest helping her . ”
Huo Beichen raised his head and looked out the window, recalling how positively insistent she had been when asking him to invest in the movie .
“She isn’t depressed . ”
When nightfall arrived, Huo Beichen left the company right on time .
As soon as he got home, Huo Beichen noticed that the house was not lit . Not giving it any further thought, he switched on the lights and slipped on his indoor slippers .
As he was about to walk upstairs, he felt the presence of something was behind him . Quickly, he turned around and he saw her—Ning Meng was lying on the sofa in her crimson silk pajamas, fast asleep and hugging the huge dog for warmth and comfort .
Her snowy legs were curled up to her chest while her long, black silky hair was curtaining the entire sofa .
As he walked closer, Huo Beichen could see her mouth was slightly agape and there was a shade of red on the rim of her eyes, a few drops of tears dangling on her curly eyelashes .
Huo Beichen felt a jolt of surprise when he saw this .
She was… crying?
As he was standing there surprised at what he saw, Ning Meng let out a long yawn and woke up . The light that Huo Beichen had switched on earlier was glaring at her eyelids, forcing her to wake up .
Rubbing her eyes drowsily, Ning Meng saw her husband standing near her . Surprised, she sat up hurriedly . “Oh, hubby~ you’re back? Are you hungry? I’m sorry, I must have dozed off earlier . I’ll go get you some noodles!”
She hastily stood up to hurry into the kitchen .

“No, there’s no need . ”
Ning Meng looked at him curiously . “So, you’ve eaten?”
Huo Beichen looked her momentarily before asking, “What about you?”
Perhaps it was because his cold, tall figure was blocking the light, but it felt as though there was a rim of gentle rays beaming around him .
After staring at him for a while, Ning Meng shook her head .
“Then, I’ll send someone to fetch dinner . ”
Having said that, he slowly walked up to his bedroom . For awhile, Huo Beichen stood in front of his closet thinking about what he had just seen .
Pfft . That woman… she must have been worried sick about the movie not doing so well… she had even cried in her sleep… what a bother .
After a slight pause, he took out his phone and sent a message to Qi Shan .
[Everyone in Huo Group will watch “Shifting to Mars” tonight . Tell the staff that they can bring their friends and family too . They don’t need to pay a dime, it’s all on the company’s bill . ]
Next, he sent a message to the butler .
[Food . ]
A moment later, he added .
[Send more . ]
Now then, that woman would surely be pleased?
Meanwhile, Ning Meng was looking at her reflection in the bathroom .
Tapping her hands on her cheeks, Ning Meng sighed .
“Oh dear me, that TV drama was such a tear-jerker! Geez, my eyes are all red!”
