Hearing Luo Chenxi blurt out “hubby”, Mu Yichen was a little taken aback.

He never expected Luo Chenxi to utter such a word when she was anxious.

Hearing her say it with a soft and sweet voice made his heart skip beat.

Luo Chenxi realized that she had a slip of her tongue as soon as she spoke. She was so upset by her slip-up she could ram herself dead with the bedpost.

She did not know why, but every time she saw Mu Yichen's handsome face, her brain would fry itself and she would end up making a fool out of herself in front of him.

This was bad, judging by Mu Yichen's usual att.i.tude towards her, he would be extremely furious after hearing her call him 'hubby'!

He was probably going to warn her again to stop having these improper thoughts.

She totally asked for it!

Luo Chenxi bit her lips as she antic.i.p.ated Mu Yichen's sarcastic remarks.

However, Mu Yichen only gave her a deep gaze for a brief moment before straightening up and said, “Come down and eat.”

There was absolutely no way to tell what he was thinking from his steady tone.

After a short pause, Luo Chenxi looked down at the unfinished design in her hands, then quickly shook her head and said, “I don't have time for food, I have to finish this drawing. It wasn't easy for me to finally get the inspiration for this. I can't…”

Before she could finish, she felt a sudden tightness wrapping around her waist, then her world started spinning all over the place.

When she came to her senses, she realized Mu Yichen was straight up carrying her on his shoulder.

Coincidentally, her ribs were pressed against the man's shoulder muscles, making her vision go black from the pain. She could not take it and started struggling and patted on his shoulders with all her strength.

“Mu Yichen! What are you doing? Put me down! Hurry up, put me down! ”

Mu Yichen shot a cold gaze at her, “You dare refuse to eat when you have gastric, you must've grown tired of living! What's going to happen if you get admitted to the hospital after only being married into the Mu family for a few days? If this gets out, people might think it's domestic abuse, there's no way I'm taking the blame for that.”

Thanks to this posture, Luo Chenxi had no choice but to rest her head on his shoulder face down—after which her face turned red from it.

“Just put me down! I'll go downstairs to eat with you, okay?”

“I think it's better if I take you down myself.”

“Mu Yichen, let me down! I'm warning you, I'm going to bite you if you don't!”

Luo Chenxi gritted her teeth as she protested. She could no longer control the volume of her voice.

At this moment, a loud gasp was heard from somewhere nearby.

Mu Yichen stopped in his tracks and turned around. He frowned. “Yiling? ”

Mu Yiling stood dumbfounded at the doorstep of his own bedroom.

He looked at his brother—who was half naked, then his sister-in-law—who was being carried on his shoulder, a spark of excitement gradually flashed across his eyes.

'That's a… That's a ma.s.sive chunk of gossip right there!

'Who would've thought that the cold brother who had never batted an eye at women to be this eager—to flirt around on the walkway with his sister-in-law without a care for her struggle, and was even forcefully carrying her back to the room to do naughty stuff!

'And he's already half naked!

'Oh dear, what a beast!'

Mu Yichen frowned at the sight of his brother standing still without moving an inch. “What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?”

Mu Yiling came back to his senses and frantically retorted, “I get it, I get it! It's the middle of the night, you are the only ones allowed to get out here and get on with things, I shouldn't have been a light bulb! But no worries, big brother, I only came out here to get some food because I am hungry. Do continue, go on, don't worry about me!”

As he said so, he sprinted downstairs in an instant and escaped into the kitchen.

He was afraid of getting chopped into pieces by his big brother in case he flew into a rage out of shame.

Luo Chenxi did not expect to be seen in such a shameful state. She became more vexed and simply pretended to be an ostrich and buried her head in Mu Yichen's shoulder.

Mu Yichen too felt a little awkward and cleared his throat. “Ahem, that's just how Yiling is, just let him be…”

“Wow, egg noodles with shredded meat! And it's still hot! Did Auntie Liu specially make this for me because she knew I'll be up for the night? I'm so touched!”

Mu Yiling's joyful voice was heard from the kitchen.
