When Mu Xiaocheng returned to Langming Garden, it was almost lunchtime.

She had just parked her car and walked to the living room door when she saw Ji Huaishen standing there, dressed in casual home clothes. He was tall and slender, with a gloomy face and deep eyes staring intently at her.

It was as if they wanted to stare a hole through her.

Mu Xiaocheng suddenly felt a little guilty.

As for why, she couldn't explain it.

She forced herself into what she thought was a pretty smile: "You're back."

Ji Huaishen gave a faint reply, then turned and walked into the house.

Mu Xiaocheng raised an eyebrow slightly. Oh, so aloof?

She pouted, then suddenly felt a little hungry.

Seeing that the people had already gone inside, Mu Xiaocheng quickly followed, raising her voice with a playful grin, "Um, is dinner ready? Can we eat now?"

Her voice was quite loud, so much so that the servants in the entire living room and the adjacent dining room could hear it.

Chi Yan, wearing dinosaur pajamas, had just come downstairs when she heard Mu Xiaocheng's words and couldn't help but secretly glance at Ji Huaishen.

What's wrong with my sister-in-law?

Didn't you see how sour his brother's face was?

They have no sense at all! It's driving me crazy!

Upon hearing Mu Xiaocheng's voice, Ji Huaishen stopped in his tracks, parted his thin lips slightly, and said without turning his head, "I didn't cook today."

His tone was cold.

He acted like someone owed him tens of millions.

After saying that, he went upstairs by himself.

Mu Xiaocheng was completely bewildered.

She blinked her beautiful big eyes. Oh my god, Chef Ji went on strike?

After Ji Huaishen left, Chi Yan hurriedly ran downstairs and stood in front of Mu Xiaocheng, saying with a look of disappointment, "Sister-in-law, didn't you notice that my brother's mood was off?"

It's more than just wrong.

When he returned this afternoon, his face was unusually gloomy, and the entire Langming Garden was filled with a low-pressure atmosphere.

The weather was already cold, but today it's exceptionally cold.

Mu Xiaocheng put her hands in her coat pockets and said lazily, "I found out."

She's not stupid or blind; it's so obvious, of course she saw it.

She just didn't know why Boss Ji suddenly got angry.

Hearing her answer, Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes and said, "Since you know, why don't you try to coax him?"

Why should I comfort him?

Mu Xiaocheng was puzzled.

Why did she have to coax Ji Huaishen when he was angry?

Besides, she doesn't even know what he's angry about, so how can she coax him?

Chi Yan sighed heavily.

Shaking his head, he said maturely, "Sister-in-law, men sometimes need to be coaxed too. Although you may not seem to like my brother very much right now, you are still husband and wife, and the most important thing is for couples to get along well."

"Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. Let us work together to create a better future."

Mu Xiaocheng: "..."

The words sound a bit childish, but the logic is sound.

"No. The key issue is that I don't even know what he's angry about, so how am I supposed to comfort him? That's the most important point..."

At this point, Mu Xiaocheng paused.

With a pained expression, he said, "I'm so hungry, bro."

I don't have the energy or strength to coax people.

Chi Yan glanced at her disdainfully: "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

This girl seems quite shrewd, but when it comes to her brother, her brain turns to mush.

Does love really make people's IQ drop to negative levels?

Mu Xiaocheng ignored him and was about to go to the dining room to find something to eat when she heard a mocking voice.

"Oh, everyone's here."

His voice was deep, robust, and full of energy.
