Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

This is the third weekend since Fang Youxi found a job.

Mu Wangbei asked her about it, since he was usually busy and finally had a break, so he naturally wanted to spend more time with his girlfriend. However, Fang Youxi seemed very mysterious. When asked, she said she had plans, but wouldn't say what those plans were or who she made them with.

At the dinner table, Chen Lai looked at her son and, after hesitating for a moment, asked, "Wangbei, didn't you get a girlfriend? Aren't you going on a date today?"

"She has plans this weekend."

Minister Mu was having dinner at home today, which was rare for him. He glanced at his wife, and his eyes clearly said: Does our son really have a girlfriend?

Chen Lai shook her head, indicating that she wasn't entirely sure either.

Minister Mu coughed twice: "Since you have someone you like, you should bring them to us for vetting. We don't need them to be rich or powerful, but at least their family background should be respectable."

Mu Wangbei nodded: "I'll introduce her to my parents when the time is right."

That's how the conversation died.

During the meal, only a few words were exchanged; the Mu family's dining table was always quiet.

Minister Mu is extremely busy, and he can only eat a few home-cooked meals a month. Professor Chen is mild-mannered and doesn't like crowds. He spends most of his time outside of school work reading, painting, and doing academic research. The three of them are all busy with their own things.

After dinner, the father and son went to the study to chat for a while, mostly about work. After listening to the report, Minister Mu gave some criticism and guidance. He rarely praised his son, fearing that he would become arrogant, as this age was far from the time to relax.

The path to officialdom is like walking on thin ice; one must be vigilant at all times. He went through the same thing back then.

Although Grandpa Mu has retired, his influence remains. As a leader of his rank, he is a very prominent figure in Beicheng. With only one grandson in the third generation, he naturally places high hopes on him.

Mu Wangbei left home in the evening, feeling extremely exhausted.

He took out his phone and checked it. It had been a whole day, and Fang Youxi had neither contacted him via WeChat nor called. He was somewhat disappointed. For three consecutive Saturdays, she had hardly contacted him at all, and he wouldn't get a reply to his WeChat messages until Sunday.

Mu Wangbei didn't really want to go home at the moment, so he drove to Platinum Residences.

Sure enough, the lights upstairs weren't on, so he probably wasn't there. He was sitting in his car, lost in thought.

Out of consideration for Tang Yi introducing her to clients, Fang Youxi patiently spent the whole day entertaining clients at the old house. After dinner, she played cards with him for a while and had good luck, even winning a few coins.

The old man didn't spell it out, but to put it bluntly, he wanted to give the young people a chance to get to know each other first. He was also afraid that pushing his granddaughter too hard would cause her to rebel. This child, frankly speaking, is someone her parents owe her, which is why she has developed such a personality. It seems like she's not close to anyone, and the closest thing to her is money.

It's not that he's afraid she'll spend money, it's just that over the years, apart from spending money on things, she doesn't seem to have much to say to her family. Tang Zhanghe can't do anything about her. If he doesn't try to bribe her, he probably won't be able to maintain their father-daughter relationship.

Sometimes I can't help but feel a little sad, because I always feel like I can't warm this granddaughter's heart.

But blood ties cannot be severed, and Grandpa Tang also dotes on his granddaughter.

Since the old man didn't bring it up, Fang Youxi just pretended not to understand.

The Lu family made it clear that it was a marriage alliance, and they came today to let him come and make an appointment. Lu Yanli didn't care. After dinner, he had something to do and left first. Tang Ze couldn't sit still any longer and ran faster than a rabbit. His older brother and father were supposed to stay at the old house tonight according to the rules, but Fang Youxi couldn't stand it and made an excuse to slip away.

I had just arrived at Platinum Residence when I received a WeChat message from Mu Wangbei: "Are you there?"

They just sent two words without asking anything. What does that mean?

Fang Youxi got out of the taxi and saw his old, rickety car. A smile appeared on her face as she replied, "Missed me?"

After waiting for three seconds, the person still hadn't replied. They'd practically delivered themselves to my doorstep; I don't know what they were being so reserved about.

[Get off the bus, turn around]

Mu Wangbei pushed open the car door almost immediately, and Fang Youxi rushed over like a gust of wind, crashing into his arms. She looked up and laughed, "Your baby's back! Aren't you happy?"

She was always so enthusiastic and straightforward, but when she turned her attention to other things, she didn't remember him at all. Mu Wangbei did miss her a little, especially after going home today. The suffocating feeling seemed to be released at this moment. He smiled and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

In early winter in the northern city, it gets dark early. Occasionally, people come and go outside the apartment building. Mu Wangbei wrapped Fang Youxi in his coat and couldn't help but ask, "It's the weekend today, what have you been up to?"

Fang Youxi grinned mischievously: "I'm busy entertaining clients, you know. I just got back to China and don't have much real business to do. I'm just helping review contracts every day. A lot of international non-litigation matters rely on connections, so I have to be diligent. I even have to work like a slave on weekends. It's kind of tough, isn't it?"

She wasn't exactly lying, was she? Lu Yanli was her client after all, and there was no need to say anything else.

Fang Youxi's reason seemed reasonable, but she had been busy for three consecutive weekends without seeing anyone or receiving any news. What kind of client would be so punctual, always choosing Saturday?

She didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't force her. She was back, and they were together now.

Mu Wangbei nuzzled her nose with his: "Let's go upstairs. Beicheng is not like Australia. It's already the beginning of winter. Wear more clothes when you go out in the future."

The two went upstairs hand in hand. Fang Youxi playfully tickled his palm. When they arrived at 1618, as soon as the door closed, Mu Wangbei suddenly turned around, pinned her against the door, and kissed her urgently.

For some reason, she missed her especially today, with a hint of impatient longing. Fang Youxi was a little stunned by Mu Wangbei's enthusiasm today and passively accepted the kiss.

Have I ever told you that I like you a lot?

He used the word "like". Mu Wangbei is a meticulous person. They haven't known each other for long and don't know each other very well. Their personalities are also very different. It seems a bit too early to talk about love. As for Fang Youxi, he seems to like her physically. He is instinctively attracted to her and wants to get close to her.

Fang Youxi also noticed the word "like". Very good, she also agrees with this word. As for Mu Wangbei, both his appearance and temperament are currently very much in line with her aesthetic. She likes him.

Two people who like each other are in high spirits today, and it seems like it's only natural that something will happen between them.

Fang Youxi was a virgin, but she tried hard not to act like it was her first time. She was afraid that the man would feel responsible because of this first time. It's perfectly normal for men and women to be sexually active. She chose the man herself, and she didn't need him to take responsibility for it. To put it bluntly, she was also someone who didn't want to take responsibility.

As for Mu Wangbei, perhaps all a man needs to do is follow his primal physiological desires. He quickly got into the mood as if he had no teacher. The first time, he was a little rough, and Fang Youxi's brows were tightly furrowed. He was afraid that she wouldn't have a good experience.

The pleasure of sex brought the two of them extremely close, so close that they could almost feel each other's heartbeats.

Mu Wangbei called out "Xixi" several times tenderly. He probably didn't even realize how viscous his voice was. All the unpleasantness from before vanished at that moment. He felt that he liked her more than he had imagined, both psychologically and physically.

It was quite late when it was over. Mu Wangbei took a shower and was about to go to bed when Fang Youxi, wrapped in a blanket, sat on the bed and asked him apologetically, "Honey, could you go back to your own place to sleep? I'm not used to sleeping with people."

Mu Wangbei: ...

Ten minutes later, he came downstairs wearing a wrinkled shirt and trousers, wrapped in an overcoat. At that moment, Mu Wangbei felt like a stray dog ​​that had been kicked out.

Once in the car, he thought of another thought-provoking question: Fang Youxi seemed to be a virgin as well, so why did she have condoms at home?
