Chi Yan's heart skipped a beat.
He shrank his neck.
He had a bad feeling.
My sister-in-law is capable of skinning someone alive.
"That would be best if it weren't."
Lou Quzheng laughed heartily and said, "Little Cheng, husband and wife shouldn't hold grudges overnight. You two shouldn't quarrel."
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, my brother isn't very good at expressing himself. He's angry right now. You can go and coax him."
Chi Yan, who was standing to the side, quickly chimed in.
His words earned him a cold glare from Mu Xiaocheng.
Chi Yan has really grown up; he actually dares to team up with outsiders to trick her?
Young Master Chi moved slightly closer to Lou Quzheng, a little scared. His sister-in-law was so fierce.
Lou Quzheng nodded: "I think what Xiao Chi said makes a lot of sense. You should go and coax her. That's how a married couple should act."
For some reason, Mu Xiaocheng always felt that Lou Quzheng's words were full of hints and threats.
She was still a little guilty.
Lou Quzheng is clearly a big shot. If he finds out that she and Ji Huaishen had a fake marriage, he might actually post it on Weibo and let the whole internet and the elders of the Meng family know about it.
If that's the case, then things will be difficult.
Mu Xiaocheng is a person who can be flexible and adaptable.
She suppressed the urge to hit him and nodded with a smile, saying, "I understand, I'll go and coax him right away."
She stood up abruptly, glanced at Chi Yan, and then headed upstairs.
After Mu Xiaocheng left, Chi Yan looked at Lou Quzheng with admiration: "Wow, Boss Lou, this is the first time I've seen my sister-in-law so obedient. Old ginger is spicier."
As he spoke, Chi Yan gave Lou Quzheng a thumbs up.
Lou Quzheng smiled slightly, gladly accepting Chi Yan's admiration.
He had realized long ago that the two were a fake couple.
Which couple always sleeps in separate rooms?
It's obvious that Xiao Cheng hasn't figured things out yet.
Then he'll reluctantly give them a push.
—
Mu Xiaocheng went upstairs and stood at the door of Ji Huaishen's room, hesitating, not knowing what to do.
Thinking of Lou Quzheng's threats and hints, she took a deep breath, raised her hand, and prepared to knock on the door.
But then the door was suddenly opened.
Ji Huaishen was wearing a gray sweater and black casual pants. His handsome face was cold and gloomy. When he saw the person standing at the door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
Mu Xiaocheng felt she should say something.
But she felt awkward being stared at like that by Ji Huaishen.
"Um, I... are you going out?"
What an awkward start.
Ji Huaishen said calmly, "Go to the study and get a book."
His tone was indifferent, and his face was completely expressionless.
"I'll get it for you."
She raised her voice and volunteered.
Upon hearing her say this, Ji Huaishen's brows twitched, and the doubt in his eyes deepened.
What's wrong with this girl?
Why all of a sudden...
"What kind of book are you looking for? I accidentally ate too much just now, so I'll exercise a bit to help with digestion."
She blinked, her pretty little face pure and adorable.
"The road less traveled".
He said with a hint of helplessness.
Well, I don't know what she's trying to do, but...
Faced with her like this, he would always obey unconditionally.
I can never bring myself to refuse.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Mu Xiaocheng ran to the study.
Ji Huaishen watched her retreating figure. Always extremely alert, he glanced at a corner.
He said in a cold voice, "Come out."
