Can't think of anything else

  Nan Chen slept until noon before waking up, dragging his somewhat sore body out of the bedroom. The scene in front of him made Nan Chen somewhat disbelieving.

  Ruan Xiaoxiao, who had never even touched a drop of Yangchun water with her chopsticks, was sitting on the sofa peeling garlic.

  "Ha ha, you... Are you out of your mind?"

  Nan Chen felt that probably only such an idea could explain Ruan Xiaoxiao's behavior.

  However, Ruan Xiaoxiao gave her a glance and continued to move silently, while Qiao Mushi was walking out of the kitchen, "Wife, you're awake?"

  He walked up to Nan Chen's stunned face, bowed his head and kissed the corner of her mouth. "Go wash up first, we can eat in a bit."

  "Honey, am I seeing things? Is Xiao Xiao peeling garlic?"

  Qiao Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile as he said, "Miss Ruan feels embarrassed to eat and live here for free, so she wants to help out with something."

  Ruan Xiaoxiao's eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, while Nan Chen still felt a chill.

  "Really?" Is it really so?

  Qiao Mu Shen glanced at Ruan Xiao Xiao, who then forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, I'm just helping out with a small favor, no big deal."

  "Aren't you really fed up with it?"

  "You're overthinking things—" Ruan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but suddenly raise her voice in retort, but was shot down by Qiao Moshen with a single glance, his voice soft as he said: "Chenchen, don't think too much. Hurry up and wash up, let's eat."

  "Yes, dear, go ahead," Qiao Mu Shen pushed her towards the bathroom and whispered in her ear, "You must have been exhausted last night, and hungry too?"

  Nan Chen's face immediately turned red and she jumped up, throwing Ruan Xiao Xiao's improper thoughts to the back of her mind, quickly running into the bathroom and closing the door.

  Qiao Mu Shen turned around and walked into the kitchen, ignoring Ruan Xiaoxiao's disdainful gaze, continuing to prepare food for his wife.

  After finishing lunch, Nan Chen finally felt alive, patted his slightly bulging belly, smiled at Qiao Mu deep, got up and put away the bowls and chopsticks.

  "No need for you to collect it, I think Miss Ruan should be happy to help us."

  Qiao Mu Shen opened his mouth, Nan Chen was stunned for a moment, while Ruan Xiao Xiao bit her back teeth and squeezed out a twisted smile. "Yes, you sit down, I'll clean up."

  "This - smile, are you okay?"

  It has to be done no matter what.

  Ruan Xiaoxiao cursed inwardly and had already scolded Qiao Moshen thousands of times in her heart, but she still obediently cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks.

  Nan Chen's eyes filled with suspicion and distrust looked at Ruan Xiaoxiao, but Qiao Moshen directly put his arm around her and sat down.

  "Don't worry, she's so big now, can't even wash a plate properly?"

  Just after saying this sentence, a "crash" was heard from the kitchen.

  Qiao Mu Shen's expression stiffened instantly, while Nan Chen quickly ran into the kitchen.

  "Kala—"

  Another crisp sound, Nan Chen wanted to cry but had no tears.

  Ruan Xiaoxiao's twisted smile finally returned to normal, and that smile seemed to say, "This is what you made me do, are you going to continue making me suffer like this?"

  "I'll do it myself."

  Nan Chen had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and take action.

  "Wife, don't be angry. Miss Ruan is new to this after all, breaking things is normal. I think she knows how much you care about these things, she definitely won't bear to see you sad and will compensate for what she broke, right?"

  "It's nothing, just two plates."

  "I'll pay!"

  Ruan Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, alright, let's hurry up. Anyway, I'll just smash a few more and make some new ones."
