Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

Huang Chen carefully brought the car to a smooth stop, then turned to look at the person sitting in the passenger seat.

The person remained motionless, as if frozen in place. Huang Chen then gently unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out.

He walked briskly around the car and came to the passenger side. He gently opened the door, a warm smile spreading across his face, and extended his right hand to the person inside, saying softly, "Get out, my darling."

However, the person inside the car only slightly moved their lips, hesitatingly saying, "I..."

Although they had met once before, this time the situation was obviously different. After all, Huang Chen actually staged a romantic marriage proposal on the show, even though the two are currently "only" engaged.

She had no idea what his family would think about this.

Seemingly sensing her inner turmoil and unease, Huang Chen chuckled softly and comforted her, "Don't worry, even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually."

The moment the words left his mouth, a sharp gaze shot towards him like a flying dagger. Shi Wanmeng was glaring at him fiercely, her originally exquisite face flushed red, perhaps from anger. Coupled with the fierce expression she was trying to put on in her beautiful eyes, it was somewhat comical.

Seeing this, Huang Chen suppressed his laughter, afraid that he might accidentally laugh out loud and anger the lady in front of him. He quickly cooperated by putting on a terrified look and raising his hands to beg for forgiveness, saying, "Oh dear, I misspoke, I misspoke! You are not an ugly wife, you are the most beautiful wife in the world!"

Shi Wanmeng's face turned even redder.

When he received the message from his younger brother, he had already taken Shi Wanmeng outside the neighborhood.

Huang Min glanced at her mother who was watching TV, cleared her throat, and said loudly, "Mom, your youngest son and your wife are at the door."

Lu Lan didn't react for a moment: "What?"

Huang Min smiled in a strange way: "Mom, you mean my younger brother Huang Chen brought Shi..."

"what?"

Lu Lan suddenly raised her voice, her face lighting up with joy, then she frowned again: "Hey, this kid, why didn't you say so earlier? This little while later..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Chen led Shi Wanmeng into the house. As soon as they entered, they saw his mother and sister standing together, staring at each other wide-eyed.

"Hey, Mom, Sis, you're all here!" Huang Chen waved with a smile, his tone showing no sign of guilt about launching a sneak attack.

Huang Minchao, who was clearly feeling a little awkward following behind Shi Wanmeng, blinked and walked over with a smile, taking her hand: "Wanmeng, have you got any ideas about the latest season's clothes?"

Unexpectedly, she was being urged to do her homework while making a house call. Shi Wanmeng was completely numb: "I'm doing it, I'm doing it."

Huang Min touched her hand with satisfaction: "Really? Come on, let's go back to the room and talk."

"Hey, you..."

"Xiao Chen, come with me."

Before Huang Chen could stop her, Lu Lan pulled him into the kitchen: "What's wrong with you? You didn't even give me a heads-up about something this big?"

Huang Chen watched Wanmeng and her sister walk upstairs together without looking back, and touched his nose: "Are you alright? Didn't Wanmeng come here last time too?"

"Is this the same?" Lu Lan gritted her teeth. "You should at least have told me in advance so I could prepare a red envelope."

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a little bit of time. Wanmeng will be staying at home for three days. The red envelope is ready anytime.”

"What?" Lu Lan was once again frightened by her wretched son.

"I'll have Wang Ma tidy up the room next to mine later. Wanmeng can stay there for the next few days."

Lu Lan glared at him fiercely, then hurriedly went to give instructions, not forgetting to direct her son: "Quickly make some dishes that Wanmeng likes to eat." Then she rushed upstairs.

Huang Chen stood there blankly, his gaze fixed on his mother's receding figure, and he couldn't help but let out another long sigh. He thought to himself, "My mom wasn't like this before. Now, before she's even married, my status at home seems to have plummeted."

However, despite saying that, Huang Chen's wildly upturned lips still betrayed his true thoughts at that moment.

Huang Chen turned and walked towards the kitchen, skillfully tied on an apron and began cooking.

When it was time for dinner, apart from Brother Huang's family who were abroad, even Huang's father, who was usually so busy that he was rarely seen, appeared at the dinner table on time.

Having spent a lot of time in the business world, Huang Longfei exuded an air of authority even when he was sitting silently. Shi Wanmeng's movements when picking up food were much slower than usual, and she only picked up the few dishes in front of her.

Huang Chen keenly noticed her uncomfortable expression, quickly reached out with his chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl, smiling as he said, "Try this fish, it tastes very delicious, I made it."

Then, he quickly glanced at his father sitting opposite him, who had a serious expression and was exuding a powerful aura.

Seeing this, Huang Chen coughed lightly twice, trying to get his father's attention and hinting that he should tone down his aggressive demeanor.

However, to his surprise, he just looked up at him blankly, then frowned slightly and said in a not-so-friendly tone, "Did you catch a cold? The weather has gotten really cold these past few days, and you're always wearing so little, I don't know who you're trying to impress!"

As soon as he spoke, Huang Longfei suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He subconsciously turned his head to check and saw that his wife was looking at him with a smile on her face, but her actions showed no mercy. Her fingers were tightly pinching the tender flesh on his side and twisting it forcefully!

He suppressed the urge to grimace, hurriedly lowered his head, and quickly brought his face close to his wife's: "Wife... what are you doing?"

Huang Longfei was caught off guard by this sudden situation and even forgot all the words he originally wanted to say to his son.

Lu Lan didn't even look at him, her smile unchanged, and she said through gritted teeth in a low voice, "You keep smiling!"

His tacit understanding from living together for so long made him quickly understand. Huang Longfei immediately forced a smile and said gently to Shi Wanmeng, "Child, eat more, don't be shy."

Shi Wanmeng was flattered and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay."

Huang Min, who had witnessed the entire process, held her bowl and suppressed a laugh. Tsk, this meal was truly exhausting.
