Bu Chen Tian Er explained that Mu Beiming understood everything after just two phone calls. He realized why his brother would send him a WeChat message late at night—it was clearly a threat.
Shen Jingyu messaged: "Mu Beiming, thank you for your hard work! I appreciate your efforts for the Shen Family!"
Mu Beiming read the message, puzzled. Was he implying that he was busy with his sister? This man had never cared about siblings before; had he suddenly become more sentimental after returning home? Was he really taking an interest in his young sister?
However, Mu Beiming was indeed in a contradictory phase. Shen Tian Er was pure and innocent, with their mother being a judge and their family known for its integrity. Shen Lao's authority was well-known throughout the country. The only one who could act as an insider in their family was his own brother! Yet now, his brother was not supporting him at all.
Mu Beiming thought to himself that perhaps it would be best to let it go. After all, she was just a young girl—caught up in a moment of excitement! If she got too carried away, she probably wouldn’t like him anymore.
After all, as a successful man, he had countless admirers. If he were to respond to each one, he wouldn’t have time to work! Yet, Mu Beiming had never considered that he would show unprecedented patience and feel a fluttering heart for that little girl.
He was nearing thirty, and though he had encountered many temptations from mature women before, he believed that two people without feelings didn’t deserve to indulge in desires. But this little girl, with her shy gaze directed at him, had already begun to ensnare him!
Moreover, she would initiate contact—inviting him out for meals and giving gifts—acting all childlike, and yet he found himself drawn to her.
But alas! He needed to cut his losses! He had already drawn the line in his heart!
Yet the girl kept calling him. Mu Beiming felt as if he were bewitched; he didn’t want to ignore her voice. Compelled by some unseen force, he answered the calls only to hear her distressed sobs on the other end.
Sure enough, there was no one at home to support her! Mu Beiming didn’t respond at all and wasn’t even there for the girl during such a moment.
If he had truly accompanied her, it would have meant staying up all night and answering multiple calls.
As a result, the next day, he slept soundly in his bedroom until late morning; his phone had died from lack of charge. Just before it finally shut down, Shen Tian Er noticed that her phone was unusually hot.
Huh? Ugh... Am I hungover? I didn’t throw up? I really want to...
At that moment, Mu Beiming was sitting in his office. Hearing the drowsy voice on the other end made his heart feel as if it were being tickled by a little kitten.
But then came the sound of retching from her side, which made Mu Beiming feel a twinge of urgency!
Didn’t this girl know she needed someone to take care of her? It was already ten in the morning—had no one come to wake her up or bring her food? Didn’t anyone notice she had been drinking?
Oh no! What did I drink? Why does it feel so awful? My head is about to explode!
"Shen Jinghui! You dog of a man! How dare you imprison me! Get out here and make me a bowl of hangover soup! I need medicine; I feel terrible!"
Shen Tian Er groaned in discomfort but called out for Brother Han with full strength!
On the other end of the phone, Mu Beiming was listening with a smile on his face. This little girl truly had many sides to her!
Meanwhile, Shen Jinghui, who lived on the first floor, was on break these days and was keeping an eye on his sister, so he came over quickly.
"Did I give you permission to call me that? How dare you address your brother like that! Who told you to sneak a drink of that premium Maotai? And it’s been aged for years! Aren’t you afraid your dad will come back and beat you up?"
Shen Tian Er exclaimed, "Look at that expensive bottle of liquor on the floor! Isn’t it quite pricey?!"
"Isn’t this what you brought for me to drink?" Shen Tian Er grinned mischievously. "You finally returned from Antarctica, and your body is cold. You need this old wine to warm you up!"
"As your younger sister, I’m willing to sacrifice myself for my noble brother! Tell me, how could you bear to betray me like this?!"
Shen Jinghui huffed in frustration. Standing outside the door, he kicked the door frame angrily before turning to leave.
Behind him, his sister's teasing voice followed him: "After the hangover soup, I want to drink the seafood porridge you make, along with some steamed dumplings filled with mushrooms and meat. Did you hear that, brother?!"
In response, Shen Jinghui kicked something else again, producing a loud noise!
Instead of being scared, Shen Tian Er felt confident that Brother Han was obediently following through with her requests!
As she proudly took the phone back and opened the call interface, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Shen Tian Er thought to herself: If I hang up now, wouldn’t that be even more awkward? Or should I let him continue listening?
The call duration showed an hour and some minutes—wasn’t that man’s phone supposed to be dead by now?
Was he still asleep and forgot to hang up? Did he not snore at all? What a quality man! It showed in every aspect.
For some reason, Shen Tian Er began daydreaming again. Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly heard the sound of writing followed by knocking at the door. Then came the assistant’s voice reporting, starting softly and growing louder. It seemed Mu Beiming had signaled someone, indicating that the man on his side had woken up.
Facing the phone, Shen Tian Er experienced a moment of social embarrassment as she scrolled through her phone. She thought that this call was already terrifying enough.
Even more shocking was that she had flirted with this man just last night.
Hadn’t Mu Beiming gone mad from her antics yet? Shen Tian Er felt utterly ashamed!
For some reason, Shen Tian Er didn’t hang up in embarrassment.
Instead, after the assistant’s report ended, she suddenly heard that man’s magnetic voice: "Awake? Is the alcohol wearing off?"
"Why did you have to speak? It clearly shows your mind is clear!" Shen Tian Er retorted.
"Actually, there was someone else in my room last night. Do you believe me?" Shen Tian Er asked tentatively.
It felt as if a wave of joyful laughter echoed within his chest. Mu Beiming teased, "Has your other personality emerged?"
So what about now?! Have you sent it back? To be honest, I still find that girl quite amusing when she complains; she never beats around the bush.
In fact, it seemed that last night, that girl even taught Mu Beiming how to face a relationship that others didn't think much of.
