Chapter 121 Cold War
Qin Lang walked up to Xiao Shihuo and picked him up.

"Wuwuwu, no, I don't want to go back, sister, save me!"

Xiao Shihuo stretched out his hand towards Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at Xiao Shihuo who was crying in Qin Lang's arms and frowned.

“Wuwuwu, no, sister, save me, sister!”

Xiaohuo cried so hard that his heart was broken.

Yuan Xi couldn't bear to hear this, so she stepped forward and said to Qin Lang, "Qin Lang, let Huo Huo go. If he doesn't want to go back, let him stay in Jiangcheng for two more days. We'll go to City A together in a few days anyway."

Qin Lang pointed upstairs, "Madam, Mr. Huo said that he would send Xiao Shihuo away today no matter what, so..."

Yuan Xi did not make things difficult for Qin Lang and could only listen to Xiao Shihuo's heart-wrenching cry.

Xiaohuo kept struggling in Qin Lang's arms, but unfortunately, a child less than five years old was no match for Qin Lang, who worked out regularly.

"Wuwuwu! Sister! Sister, help!"

"I want my sister, woooo!"

"What's going on here?"

Xiao Yun walked into the house holding Gu Ying's hand, and saw Xiao Huo crying like a pig being slaughtered.

Xiao Shihuo saw Xiao Yun crying and complaining, "Brother, you bad brother told me to go home, I don't want to go home, I want my sister, wuwuwu."

Xiao Yun took Xiao Xiaohuo from Qin Lang's side and hugged him in his arms, wiping the tears from his face, "Be good, don't go home, go change into your swimsuit and go play in the water with Yingying."

Xiao Shihuo immediately stopped crying and smiled happily.

Xiao Yun went to Huo Shiyan's study and said, "Uncle and aunt haven't come back yet. Grandpa is so old and still has to take care of Shi Yi. Grandma's health is getting worse day by day. Send Xiaohuo back to City A. There's no one to accompany him."

"You should get married first. Your uncle and aunt should be back soon. It won't be too late to send Xiaohuo back then. Can't you bear to wait for just a few days?"

Huo Shiyan said: "Shihuo is in Jiangcheng, and Yuan Xi still needs to spend her time and energy on Shihuo."

Xiao Yun chuckled softly, it turned out that he was jealous.

"My uncle will be back in a couple of days, so it won't be too late to send Xiaohuo back."

At dinner time.

Yuan Xi looked at the plate of shrimps in front of her. Perhaps because she had gotten used to Huo Shiyan peeling shrimps for her in the past two months, she did not take the initiative to eat the shrimps today.

But when they were halfway through the meal, Huo Shiyan still hadn't started to peel the shrimps.

Huo Shiyan had a gloomy face throughout the dinner table.

Yuan Xi sensed Huo Shiyan's displeasure, so she peeled shrimps for herself, and also occasionally peeled shrimps for Xiao Shihuo.

After the meal, Huo Shiyan's face became even gloomier.

Fortunately, there were two children, Xiaoying and Xiaoshihuo, at the dinner table to liven up the atmosphere.

Otherwise, Yuan Xi wouldn't know how to eat under Huo Shiyan's depressing mood.

After dinner, Yuan Xi went to his room, took out his laptop and started replying to emails that were delayed in the afternoon. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that he felt sleepy.

After Yuan Xi took a shower, she didn't see Huo Shiyan come into the room. She frowned slightly and just went to sleep. She didn't sleep well last night.

When Yuan Xi was half asleep, she felt something sink beside her, but he did not hug her waist as usual.

Yuan Xi opened her eyes slightly and saw Huo Shiyan with his back to her. Yuan Xi frowned slightly and simply turned her back to Huo Shiyan.

He was really confused. He was clearly not angry with him, and he even asked Chen Yuan to ask him if he was angry. But now he was inexplicably angry.

Yuan Xi fell asleep with his back to Huo Shiyan and had a messy dream that night.

In the morning, Yuan Xi woke up and saw Huo Shiyan had just woken up. Neither of them said a word.

When Yuan Xi went into the bathroom to wash up, Huo Shiyan took the toothbrush cup beside him and went to the bathroom in the guest room next door to wash up.

At breakfast time, Xiaoshihuo had not yet gotten up. The table was very quiet and full of depression.

Yuan Xi couldn't eat breakfast at all, so she simply went to the coffee machine and ground herself a cup of coffee.

After finishing his coffee, Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan. He had no intention of getting up to take him to work, so Yuan Xi went to drive by himself.

After getting in the car, Yuan Xi turned on the music in the car and saw a picture Chen Yuan posted on her Moments of her making her own breakfast.

Yuan Xi called Chen Yuan and said, "Yuan Zi."

Chen Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Xi sighed and said, "Will Shi Lei be angry with you and give you the cold shoulder for no reason?"

Chen Yuan: "Cold war? When we quarrel, his temper can be described as a volcanic eruption. How could there be a cold war?"

Yuan Xi asked: "Do you guys quarrel with each other?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's normal for couples not to quarrel. Quarreling is normal, but a cold war is not okay. Is Huo Shiyan angry? Then why don't you coax him?"

"But I obviously didn't do anything wrong. I don't know why he suddenly got angry and went into a cold war with me. He said that I was a loving mother who spoiled her son, but I wasn't angry with him."

Yuan Xi sighed: "If Huo Shiyan wants to have a cold war, then just do it. It's quite hot today anyway."

Chen Yuan said: "The cold war is absolutely unacceptable. No matter how good the relationship is, it will be ruined if it happens too many times. Just communicate properly about any conflicts."

Yuan Xi said: "Anyway, there isn't much affection between him and me."

It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and even though Yuan Xi turned the air conditioner in the car to the maximum, it was still very hot.

If it wasn't a new car, she would have thought it was broken down.

After arriving at the company and having a morning meeting, Yuan Xi's hot and irritable mood calmed down a little.

But another email made Yuan Xi feel annoyed again.

Her work email address is Mi Chen’s internal email address, and the email was sent by an intern in the Fall in Love with the Stars Production and Painting Department.

The content of the email reported that Yan Ling'er, the director of the Love the Stars painting department, condoned her employees to plagiarize the interns' paintings, claimed the interns' paintings as their own, and then dismissed the interns on the grounds that they did not pass the internship period. In addition, Love the Stars now uses AI painting extensively.

Mr. Wu, who is in love with the starry sky, is Yan Ling'er's boyfriend. The painters in the painting department have reported to Wu Liang many times, but Wu Liang chose to cover up.

Yuan Xi pressed her temple when she saw the email.

Mi Chen Games’ success is inseparable from the game Love in the Stars. Love in the Stars can be said to be Mi Chen’s first popular game. At that time, Mi Yi and Gu Hanchen had no hope for this game at all.

However, Falling in Love with the Starry Sky instantly became the number one otome game thanks to its good-looking characters, excellent graphics and detailed 3D modeling.

With the emergence of a large number of otome games in the past two years, Falling in Love with the Starry Sky is still the number one otome game.

Yan Ling'er joined Mi Chen when the company was first founded. Falling in Love with the Stars can be said to be a game created by Yan Ling'er.

Yuan Xi and Yan Ling'er have known each other for five years, so it's really hard to convict them based on just one email from an intern.

We can't conduct a large-scale investigation either. After all, Yan Ling'er and Wu Liang are both among Mi Chen's first batch of employees. Investigating old employees based on the intern's report may discourage them.

After get off work, Yuan Xi went to Gu Hanchen's ward to discuss this matter with Gu Hanchen.

Gu Hanchen said, "It's actually quite normal for O-games to use AI for painting now. Many game companies have started using AI for painting. Just tell Yan Ling'er not to use AI for painting in the future. As for plagiarizing and occupying the paintings of interns, just warn Yan Ling'er."

Yuan Xi frowned: "AI painting and plagiarizing interns' paintings are not trivial matters. If they are true, a warning will not be enough.

Falling in Love with the Stars is about making female players fall in love with the male protagonist in the game. If even the painter has no feelings for the male protagonist, and the male protagonist is a soulless one drawn by AI, how can it be possible for players to willingly like this character? Mi Chen is determined to oppose AI painting.

There is also plagiarism and appropriation of interns' paintings, which is also very bad behavior.

However, I don’t know how to investigate now. After all, if I investigate them based on the one-sided words of a small intern, it will also chill the hearts of Mi Chen’s old employees if they find out. "

Gu Hanchen said: "There is no rush to deal with this matter. I will ask Special Assistant Wang to check it out."

Yuan Xi responded: "Okay."
