Chapter 54
Luo Chenxi was a little surprised. “Good morning…”
She thought that Mu Yichen’s brother loathed her just as much as Mu Weiwei did.
“Sister-in-law, don’t be a stranger. Hurry up and take a seat! Elder Brother is going to pity you if you keep standing there,” said Mu Yiling smilingly.
“Second Young Master, you’re too modest,” Mu Yichen said in a hurry.

Mu Yiling scoffed. “Sister-in-law, we are a family now. Why do you still address me as Second Young Master? Elder Brother is going to call me out for being disrespectful later! You can call me by my name.”
Luo Chenxi felt slightly uneasy, but Second Young Master Mu was truly being too enthusiastic. She was too shy to reject him, so she responded, “Uh, alright. I shall address you by your name. Thanks, Second…uh, Yiling.”
As soon as those words were spoken, Luo Chenxi suddenly felt as if the temperature in the room had plummeted abruptly. She felt cold and goosebumps erupted all over her skin.
She turned around doubtfully just in time to meet Mu Yichen’s tyrannical black eyes. Knowing that she was asking for trouble, she hastily looked somewhere else to avoid his gaze.
Mu Yichen was in an even worse mood after seeing the wicked woman behave like a startled rabbit. His thin lips curled over his teeth in a sneer. “I remembered reminding you that you should behave yourself according to your identity. Is it appropriate to address Yiling in such an intimate manner?”
She had never even addressed him, her husband by name, yet she had addressed her brother-in-law like that. Was that appropriate?
However, Luo Chenxi immediately recalled the conversation in the sports car yesterday when she heard Mu Yichen reminding her to behave herself. All at once, her expression dimmed.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t watch my words. Second Young Master, please don’t misunderstand. Young Master Mu and I are…not as you imagine. It’s better for me to address you as ‘Second Young Master’!”
Mu Yichen squeezed the coffee mug in his hand so hard in a rage that he almost shattered it. In the past, it had been fine for the wicked woman to address him with his full name. However, now she had even converted his address to Young Master Mu!
Mu Yiling was confused as well. He took a few glances at his brother.
What was happening?
His older brother and sister-in-law appeared rather intimate yesterday. He still assumed that his brother had changed for the better. How did he go back to his old self again today?
In contrast, Mu Weiwei was overjoyed. She laughed aloud at once. “Luo Chenxin, don’t you get it now? In my brother’s eyes, you don’t have the right to address the Mu family members by our names because you’re just an outsider to him! It’s best that you know your place.”
“Weiwei!” Mu Yiling hastily interrupted his sister after noticing that she was trying to seek trouble again.
Mu Weiwei failed to see the change in her older brother, but Mu Yiling could tell that the newlyweds had an unusual relationship!
Yesterday night, he had witnessed his older brother leave the study at midnight and go into the master bedroom. Something must have happened during the night for their relationship to have turned into such a ghastly state.
Mu Weiwei had been grounded for picking a fight with her sister-in-law yesterday, yet she was seeking trouble again now. She would be in deep trouble if she were to offend her older brother.
Mu Yiling quickly took a glance at his older brother once again. However, Mu Yichen’s expression remained unchanged which was out of her expectations. He continued to have his breakfast gracefully as if he was completely oblivious to their conversation.
Exhilarated, Mu Weiwei glared at Mu Yiling. “Bro, why are you so afraid of this woman? Who wouldn’t know what kind of sl*t she is? Our Mu family has turned into the joke of the other powerful families because of her! Why won’t you let me speak? Look, Elder Brother disciplined her earlier too. What’s wrong with me adding a few more comments?”
Mu Yilong was almost driven to tears by his sister’s foolishness!
“You…” He wanted to continue to speak but Mu Yichen abruptly stood up from his seat at this moment.
