Yu Qianqian watched him from the side, increasingly unable to fathom his thoughts. She usually appeared without makeup, but today she had decided to dress up nicely on a whim, yet he seemed uninterested, not even glancing at her once since entering the room.

Mu Beichen maintained his original posture, focusing all his attention on the documents, while ignoring her completely.

It was rare to see him so indifferent, especially since he couldn't achieve his goal no matter what. This made Yu Qianqian feel unwilling and disappointed. In her anger, she didn't care about saving face anymore. He ignored her and leaned closer to her, leaning against the table with a boneless softness. He casually lifted his skirt, revealing his thighs. His two beautiful legs were slightly raised, outlining an alluring curve. All she could see was his white skin, so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes!

"Sure, no matter how long you're busy, I'll just stay here with you." Yu Qianqian appeared calm, but in reality, she was burning with anxiety. Seeing his composed demeanor, she couldn't help but wonder if she was truly past her prime and had lost all allure.

After a long while, Mu Beichen remained expressionless. Yu Qianqian couldn't be sure if he had seen her flaunting her beauty, so she asked again, "Husband, do you think I look good in this outfit?"

"You look good," Mu Beichen nodded in response without looking up. "To me, you look good in anything."

"It's beautiful? Then why don't you even take a look?" Her face was pale and she looked somewhat annoyed. Her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Mu Beichen. The anger in her heart seemed to be about to explode at any moment.

Only then did Mu Beichen begin to examine her properly. He turned his gaze slightly and it landed on her two fair and slender legs. He sighed casually, "It's freezing cold in Beicheng these days. Madam is dressed so thinly. Aren't you afraid of getting cold?"

"I'm not cold! I'm not cold!" Yu Qianqian was completely annoyed. She jumped down, turned her face to one side, and trembled with anger.

She didn't want to waste her time here anymore and turned to leave, but Mu Beichen immediately chased after her and called out from behind, "It's cold outside, you should put on another layer of clothing, or you might catch a cold again."

"I already told you I'm not cold, so don't worry about me!" After saying that, she left Mu Beichen alone in the room and stormed out without looking back.

He stood there, staring at her receding figure, pondering it over and over, but in the end, he still couldn't figure out what she was thinking. He had no idea why this woman had suddenly become so crazy. Perhaps it was because he had been busy dealing with other things these past few days and hadn't paid attention to her, which had upset her.

He watched her until she disappeared from sight, then turned back to his room to continue his unfinished business. His face remained expressionless. He picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and immediately put it down. In a moment of inattention, his sharp gaze shot out the window, and he suddenly smiled coldly: "Stop hiding. Since you're already here, come out and have a chat."

After he finished speaking, Mu Beichen walked to the window and pushed open the two half-closed window panes. Immediately afterward, a moon-white figure swept vertically from the eaves and landed as lightly as a swallow.
