After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

Ruan Wanfu's face showed a hint of disdain. His eyes were fixed on his son, who was usually shrewd and intelligent in the business world but seemed dull-witted at this moment. He said in a flat tone, "How could Wu Ma not be suspicious when things go missing from the house for no reason? The reason we decided to move back there is simply to keep this secret! At least we should try to cover up the lie as much as possible."

Liao Jiaqi smiled slightly as she looked at her husband and said softly, "You, so clever all your life, have made a fool of yourself this time!"

Ruan Haohao scratched his head, smiled憨态可掬 (a kind of endearing but simple-minded smile), and didn't say anything more.

Liao Jiaqi moved to Zhang Yufang's side and sat down next to her, asking considerately, "Mom, do you think we need to go out and buy some more things? I can go with you to pick out some items that Mumu might need. Especially those underwear and such, she might not necessarily use them, but it's always good to have them in advance."

Zhang Yufang gazed at Liao Jiaqi, inwardly sighing with emotion. Since this daughter-in-law married into the Ruan family, she had been extremely filial to her and her husband, and treated her sister-in-law and brother-in-law with the same care and affection as her own siblings. Therefore, Zhang Yufang was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

"Let's not buy anything today. We'll go back to the countryside to stay after we finish eating," Zhang Yufang said firmly.

She really wanted to go back to the countryside as soon as possible. What if Mumu would sneak into the space when no one was looking after dark? Even if she couldn't see her in person, she would feel much more at ease if she could be closer to her!

Liao Jiaqi smiled and replied softly, "Mom, then I'll go shopping with you another day! I'll also look into what things I need to prepare for Mumu that will be more practical. You know what? At work, I often hear my female colleagues talking about time-travel novels. Apparently, these kinds of novels are very popular right now! I used to think that these fantasy novels weren't very interesting, but now I've suddenly become very interested in them and really want to read some."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufang was quite surprised. Such a novel actually existed? Her curiosity was instantly piqued, and she eagerly asked, "Is there really such a novel? Where can I find such a book? I really want to read it."

Liao Jiaqi shook her head helplessly, indicating that she didn't know anything about it either, and could only ask her colleagues for advice when she returned to the company tomorrow.

After dinner, Zhang Yufang began to pack up the couple's clothes and also sorted out and packed up the valuables in Ruan Mumu's room, intending to take them back to her hometown.

Since Ruan Mumu passed away, everyone has been immersed in grief and has no time to sort through her belongings. The servants in the house dare not touch anything.

"Dad, Mom, how's the packing going?" Ruan Haohao walked into his parents' room and was surprised to see all the packages they had packed.

Ruan Wanfu waved his hand and said, "That's enough. You don't need to take us. We'll drive back ourselves. It's only eight o'clock now, and it's only a half-hour drive. There's no need to go through all that trouble. You and Jiaqi have been working all day, so get some rest."

"Dad, if you need anything, just call me and I'll have Uncle Zhong buy it and send it over," Ruan Haohao earnestly instructed.

"Haohao, today is July 30th. There are still sixteen days until the agreed meeting time with Mumu. Do you think we should inform your grandmother?" Zhang Yufang frowned and asked Ruan Haohao for his opinion.

"Mom, let's not tell Grandma yet! Let's meet with Mumu to find out the situation before making a decision, so as not to upset Grandma and cause her further distress," Ruan Haohao said firmly.

Zhang Yufang felt that her son made sense. Since there was one chance every month, she decided to let her own family meet first next time.

Suddenly, she thought of her daughter-in-law not being able to see Mumu. She wondered if Jiaqi would feel bad about it. So, she said to her son with concern, "Haohao, Jiaqi can't see Mumu for now. We can buy her a chance later. But won't Jiaqi feel bad about not being able to see Mumu this time?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Haohao's heart tightened. He knew that Jiaqi was also looking forward to seeing Mumu, and she would definitely be disappointed and sad if she couldn't see her this time. However, the situation was still unclear, so they could only be patient for the time being.

“Mom, Jiaqi should understand. After all, there’s nothing we can do to solve this problem. We’ll definitely let her see Mumu next time we have the chance,” Ruan Haohao quickly comforted his mother.

Zhang Yufang nodded, feeling slightly relieved. She believed Jiaqi was a reasonable person and would understand their actions.

“Mom, it’s getting late. If you want to go back, then you should leave as soon as possible. Remember to call us when you arrive at your destination to let us know you’re safe,” Ruan Haohao said calmly. Then, without hesitation, he began to help his mother move the packed boxes and various packages of different sizes into their car.

Because we bought so many items in the afternoon, the interior of the car was almost completely filled.

Ruan Wanfu and Zhang Yufang carefully checked once again to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything. After a thorough and meticulous check to confirm that there was nothing else they needed to take, they slowly went downstairs.

"Mom, I'll call you tomorrow to report back once I've found out the details about those novels!" Liao Jiaqi quickly followed her parents-in-law to the front door as they were about to leave.

"Jiaqi, don't forget to ask about this tomorrow! We're going back to our hometown in the countryside for now, but we'll come back to visit again when we have time," Zhang Yufang earnestly instructed.

"Okay, Mom, you two hurry up and get going! Dad, drive carefully and be safe." Liao Jiaqi waved to the two of them.

Ruan Haohao and Liao Jiaqi only slowly returned to the house after the car disappeared into the night.
