Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

"That's right, it should be the gift that came with the necklace you bought. I think it was the one that came with that extremely delicate necklace that sparkles like the Milky Way. But I don't really remember the specific details very clearly." Mu Chen frowned slightly, racking his brains to recall the scene at the time.

Hearing this, Wen Shu was surprised and taken aback. She stared at Mu Chen with wide eyes and said, "This seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it? How can you give a free gift as a formal present?"

Mu Chen quickly shook his head and hurriedly explained to Wen Shu, "Oh dear, don't misunderstand! That necklace itself is quite expensive, and this bracelet, which is a free gift, is actually quite valuable as well. It's sold separately in department stores. So, although it's nominally a free gift, its quality is actually very good!"

After listening, Wen Shu nodded thoughtfully and picked up the bracelet to examine it carefully. After a while, she slowly said, "Hmm...it seems acceptable. Moreover, the design of this bracelet is indeed unique and quite innovative." After a slight pause, she smiled and said to Mu Chen, "Okay, then I'll choose it!"

Mu Chen carefully took Wen Shu's slender hand in his, his gaze frequently lingering on her exquisite high heels. His heart was filled with worry, fearing that Wen Shu might slip and fall. He held Wen Shu's hand tightly, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

Wen Shu smiled and chatted softly with Mu Chen, her clear, melodious laughter escaping her lips from time to time. A warm and sweet atmosphere filled the air between them, making one feel envious.

Finally, they arrived at the car. Mu Chen opened the car door first, then gently helped Wen Shu into the car. After Wen Shu was settled, he closed the car door and went around to the other side to get in and sit down.

Butler Zhu, who had been waiting in the driver's seat for some time, started the car and drove smoothly towards their destination after the two had gotten in. Along the way, the car windows were slightly open, and a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

After a long and winding journey, the two finally arrived at their destination. As soon as they stepped off the vehicle, well-trained waiters greeted them and respectfully led them to their destination. After passing through a long corridor and turning several corners, they finally arrived at a magnificently decorated door. The door was adorned with dazzling crystals, which shimmered brilliantly under the lights.

As the waiter gently pushed open the door, a spacious and luxurious banquet hall immediately came into view. The hall was beautifully decorated; colorful balloons hung from the ceiling, a soft red carpet covered the floor, and exquisite tables and chairs, along with various delicious dishes and drinks, were arranged around the room. Just then, a commotion arose from the crowd. Someone had spotted Mu Chen and Wen Shu's arrival and began to cheer, "Sweetie, look! Your cousin is here! And he's brought your sister-in-law with him!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tiantian, who had been chatting and laughing with her friends, immediately turned around, a delighted smile spreading across her face. She then quickly walked towards Mu Chen. As she walked, she enthusiastically opened her arms and took Mu Chen's arm, saying coquettishly, "Cousin, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for so long!" However, Mu Chen seemed somewhat uncomfortable with such intimate gestures. He subtly tried to pull his arm away from Ruan Tiantian's grasp, but fearing it would embarrass her, he reluctantly allowed her to continue holding him.

Immediately afterward, Mu Chen picked up a gift he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Ruan Tiantian, smiling as he introduced it, "This is a gift your sister-in-law specially chose for you. I hope you like it." Ruan Tiantian accepted the gift, her face beaming with a smile, but a hint of reluctance was visible in her eyes. She pouted and mumbled softly, "Thank you, sister-in-law..." Her voice was so soft that only she could hear it.

Wen Shu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile as beautiful as spring flowers in bloom. She said softly, "Oh, no need to thank me. We're all family. Why should I be so polite with my sister-in-law?" Her bright eyes sparkled with kindness and gentleness, as if they could melt hearts.

Just then, the whole scene suddenly became somewhat strange. Everyone looked at each other, seemingly sensing the subtle change in atmosphere, but unable to quite put their finger on it. At that moment, Ruan Tiantian gracefully walked to the center of the stage, like a colorful butterfly fluttering in the air. With a smile on her face, she called out in a clear and melodious voice, "Dear friends, you can begin to enjoy the delicious food! Please find your seats according to the nameplates on the tables, and then enjoy your meal!" As her voice fell, the previously quiet scene instantly became lively, with people scrambling to find their places, and laughter and chatter filling the air.

With a smile, Ruan Tiantian seemingly casually placed Mu Chen's name tag next to herself, while discreetly placing Wen Shu's name tag in an inconspicuous corner. Mu Chen, ever as astute, instantly discerned Ruan Tiantian's intentions with just a glance at the seating arrangement. Clearly, she was deliberately trying to sideline Wen Shu!

As everyone took their seats, Mu Chen held Wen Shu's hand tightly, refusing to sit down. His face was gloomy, his gaze fixed on Ruan Tiantian, and he coldly said, "Cousin, have you forgotten to arrange a suitable seat for your sister-in-law?" His words clearly revealed his dissatisfaction and accusation.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tiantian's heart tightened, but she still tried to remain calm and replied, "No, my sister-in-law's seat is right behind me." However, her shifty eyes had already betrayed her inner guilt.

At this moment, Mu Chen was already furious. He raised his voice and rebuked, "Are you really brainless, or are you doing this on purpose? Why do you want to separate me and my wife so far apart?" His voice echoed in the quiet banquet hall, attracting the attention of the surrounding guests.

Faced with Mu Chen's anger, Ruan Tiantian was speechless for a moment. She stammered for a long time but could not say a complete sentence. She could only make a few indistinct "hmm..." and she looked extremely embarrassed and awkward.

Just then, one of Ruan Tiantian's friends saw what was happening and quickly stepped in to smooth things over. This friend was quite quick-witted; she immediately called over a waiter and instructed, "Could you please bring another chair? The name on this side seems to be wrong." Soon, the waiter brought over a brand-new chair and placed it next to Mu Chen and Wen Shu. This little disturbance was finally temporarily averted.
