It was unclear how much time had passed before Ji Huaishen finally released her.

Mu Xiaocheng felt a little soreness in her chin and her neck was also uncomfortable from being tilted back.

It tastes sour and makes me feel uncomfortable.

She pouted, somewhat disgruntled, to show her dissatisfaction and anger.

Ji Huaishen gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, looked into her eyes, and softly asked, "Are you sure? You won't regret it?"

His voice always had a magical quality, drawing her into his world.

Mu Xiaocheng pursed her lips and said very seriously, "No regrets."

How could I possibly regret it?

She would regret it if she let him leave like this.

She suddenly grabbed his hand, a sweet smile playing on her lips: "Your life belongs to me, so from now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to even think about leaving me, not even the slightest bit."

Her tone was somewhat domineering, sounding both cute and fierce, which made her look especially adorable.

Ji Huaishen pressed his forehead against hers, a smile playing on his lips.

"good."

I'll never run away again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chi Yan's voice rang out from outside: "Sister-in-law, are you inside?"

"Grandpa Meng is here. He says he wants to take you home."

Mu Xiaocheng: "..."

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and said with a hint of fear, "My grandfather..."

"I will have a good talk with him."

Ji Huaishen said calmly that he had been ignorant and self-righteous before, and had not considered their needs. It was only right that the old man was angry.

Mu Xiaocheng pursed her lips, nodded first, then shook her head and said, "What if he bullies you or even hits you? I should talk to him."

"Silly girl." Ji Huaishen smiled and gently pinched her nose, his smile tinged with helplessness.

"Don't worry, Grandpa won't do that."

He was just too worried about you. As an elder, he's really, really good.

"Oh well."

Mu Xiaocheng opened the door and was met with Chi Yan's curious face.

"How was it? Did I disturb you?"

Actually, he was quite nervous before knocking on the door. What if he disturbed his brother and sister-in-law's sweet talk? Wouldn't he become the sinner?

They finally got together after so much trouble, and his brother finally overcame this hurdle. It would be a real sin for him to disturb them.

"What do you think?" Mu Xiaocheng raised an eyebrow, her tone quite fierce.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong."

Chi Yan immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake, looking completely timid.

"Let's put it on the tab first. You and Shang Qi both owe me a lot." As she spoke, she patted Chi Yan on the shoulder, looking quite pleased with herself.

Chi Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she involuntarily began to break out in a cold sweat.

He was so scared.

My sister-in-law's smile looks so terrifying!

Mu Xiaocheng ignored him and turned to walk downstairs.

Chi Yan quickly followed, saying as he walked, "Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to just now, please don't hit me, okay?"

"I can do a lot of things for you. I'll buy whatever you want to eat. Or, I can help you beat up Shang Qi, just forgive my youthful ignorance."

When Mu Xiaocheng heard him say that, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"You've reminded me. Why don't you go and fight Shang Qi? I'll forgive whoever wins."

She really wanted to see whether Chi Yan or Shang Qi was more capable.

A fight will reveal everything.

She was genuinely curious.

Perfect timing, I'm bored anyway.

Chi Yan's expression changed slightly.

Is my sister-in-law serious?
