Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Chapter 37 He called it metaphysics

Mu Chen couldn't help but smile; his little wife was always so unique. She had a special fondness for these strange and unusual books, and sometimes she would enthusiastically try to imitate them, though her movements were clumsy, her earnestness and persistence were endearing. Mu Chen privately called this "metaphysics." He had never truly understood Wen Shu's passion for these secret manuals, but he had never discouraged her interest. On the contrary, he always silently supported her, and sometimes even collected rare books for her.

A tranquil and warm atmosphere permeated the manor. Colorful flowers bloomed in profusion beside the swing, releasing a delicate fragrance. Wen Shu's cat occasionally jumped off the swing, gracefully weaving through the flowers, seemingly enjoying the peaceful evening as well. Mu Chen got out of the car and walked slowly towards Wen Shu, his heart filled with love for this family and his doting affection for her.

He gently sat down on the swing next to Wen Shu, the swing swaying slightly under his weight. Wen Shu looked up, saw Mu Chen, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She closed the manual in her hand and smiled at him, saying, "You're back." Mu Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, I finished work early today, so I came back early to be with you." A happy smile appeared on Wen Shu's face.

Looking at the martial arts manual in Wen Shu's hand, Mu Chen asked curiously, "What new moves did you learn today?" Wen Shu smiled somewhat embarrassedly, saying that they were nothing to brag about and unlikely to amount to much.

Mu Chen smiled faintly, showing great affection for Wen Shu.

Mu Chen gently pushed open the door, and a familiar aroma of food wafted out. He went inside and found Aunt Hu still busy in the kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans clattering like a kitchen symphony. Mu Chen smiled, washed his hands at the sink, and then tiptoed toward Wen Shu.

In the courtyard, Wen Shu sat on a swing, gently swaying, her gaze seemingly lost in the distant horizon. Mu Chen quietly walked behind her and gently pushed the swing. Wen Shu snapped out of her reverie and gave a warm smile. The two of them continued to swing back and forth, enjoying this peaceful moment.

Aunt Hu's voice broke the tranquility from the kitchen: "Dinner's ready, come and eat!" Mu Chen and Wen Shu exchanged a smile, got up from the swing, and walked hand in hand back into the house. Aunt Hu had already laid out a variety of delicious dishes on the table. In the center was a bowl of crystal-clear bird's nest, next to several plates of colorful and fragrant stir-fried vegetables: vibrant greens, golden corn kernels, and tender mushroom slices. Each dish exuded an enticing aroma, making one's mouth water.

Wen Shu's eyes lit up at the sight of the delicious food. She happily sat down at the table and eagerly picked up her chopsticks. Mu Chen sat opposite her, watching her satisfied expression, his heart filled with happiness as well. The two ate and chatted, recounting the day's events and sharing their joy. Aunt Hu busied herself nearby, frequently adding food to their plates, her face beaming with a kind smile.

After dinner, Mu Chen and Wen Shu felt a little sleepy, so they went upstairs together and returned to their rooms.

Wen Shu lay in bed, and Mu Chen sat beside her. They chatted for a while until Wen Shu's eyelids grew heavy, and she drifted off to sleep. Mu Chen gently covered her with the blanket, then quietly left the room and turned off the light.

Mu Chen received a phone call. His friend's excited voice came from the other end, inviting him to participate in a project that was said to have a very promising future. His understated yet luxurious car slowly drove out of the manor.

Cheng Xiao is not only a longtime friend of Mu Chen, but also the only son of the Cheng family, a young talent with a renowned reputation in the business world. Cheng Xiao's family business is well-known in the area, and Cheng Xiao himself has also risen to an important position in the company through his own efforts and wisdom, making him the focus of everyone's attention.

Mu Chen knew that the project Cheng Xiao had invited him to participate in this time must be extraordinary. Cheng Xiao had always had a unique vision and an extraordinary keenness in seizing business opportunities. Mu Chen was full of expectations for this project. He trusted Cheng Xiao's judgment and believed that their collaboration could create a new world.

The car slowly drove into the bustling city center, passing through crowded streets, and finally stopped in front of a towering office building. This was the location of Cheng Xiao's company, the center of his business. Mu Chen got out of the car, looked up at the building that symbolized Cheng Xiao's business achievements, straightened his clothes, and stepped into the building.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Mu Chen stood alone inside, feeling the modern mode of transportation ascend smoothly and swiftly. The elevator's interior was luxuriously decorated, and the mirrors reflected his composed face, seemingly foreshadowing the upcoming business negotiations. With a "ding," the elevator arrived at the designated floor, and the doors slowly opened again, where Cheng Xiao's assistant had been waiting for some time.

"Mr. Mu, hello, I'm Mr. Cheng's assistant, Xiao Li. Welcome." The assistant politely extended his hand to Mu Chen with a professional smile on his face.

"Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you." Mu Chen replied, following his assistant through a series of clean and bright corridors, finally arriving at the door of Cheng Xiao's spacious and bright office.

The assistant knocked gently on the door, and after receiving permission, entered. "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Mu has arrived," the assistant announced, then quietly withdrew and closed the door.

Cheng Xiao stood up from behind her desk and greeted Mu Chen with a smile. "Mu Chen, long time no see! You still look as energetic as ever." After a few brief pleasantries, Cheng Xiao gestured for Mu Chen to sit down on the sofa.

“I recently bought a piece of land in a great location. I want to build a hot spring resort,” Cheng Xiao said bluntly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.

“I know that piece of land; it’s definitely a good location.” Mu Chen nodded in agreement. He had heard about the land before and knew that Cheng Xiao had always been very interested in it.

“Yes, this land is my personal investment and has no direct relationship with the Cheng Group,” Cheng Xiao explained, hoping Mu Chen would understand that this was a private collaboration opportunity.

“I’ve thought about this for a long time and I think it’s a great investment project. Now I’d like to invite you to invest and grow this project together.” Cheng Xiao looked at Mu Chen earnestly, anticipating his response.

Mu Chen pondered for a moment. He knew Cheng Xiao was a shrewd person, and the projects he favored usually had great potential. At the same time, he also knew Cheng Xiao's character and knew he was a trustworthy partner.

“That does sound very appealing, but I need more details to evaluate this project,” Mu Chen replied cautiously. He didn’t want to make a hasty decision, but he also didn’t want to miss a potentially good opportunity.

Cheng Xiao nodded, indicating her understanding. "No problem, I'll have my team prepare a detailed business plan for you. We can discuss it in more detail after that."

The two continued their conversation, discussing the initial ideas for the project and potential challenges.
