Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

In the blink of an eye, the clock struck midnight. Employees poured out of the office building like a tide, some hurrying, some looking weary, but all filled with anticipation for their free time after get off work. At that moment, Mu Chen also strode back to his luxurious suite on the top floor.

Entering the room, Mu Chen saw Wen Shu curled up peacefully on the bed, fast asleep, like an adorable kitten. Mu Chen walked quietly to the bedside, slowly squatted down, and softly called out, "Get up, you little sleepyhead, it's time to go home." Hearing the voice, Wen Shu slowly woke up, raised her eyes, her gaze still a little hazy, her sleepy appearance making one feel an overwhelming sense of tenderness.

Seeing this, Mu Chen's lips curled up slightly. His handsome face slowly approached Wen Shu, and he said softly, "Wake up, Shu Shu, we're going home." Wen Shu blinked, her consciousness gradually returning. She softly replied, "Okay, I'll get up now." With that, she struggled to sit up.

Wen Shu gently slipped on the white shoes placed beside the bed, then picked up her down jacket and wrapped herself up tightly. At that moment, Mu Chen considerately reached out and carefully tidied her slightly disheveled hair. Once everything was ready, the two walked hand in hand towards the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and a gust of cold wind rushed in. A strong wind had suddenly swept in, howling and scattering withered leaves that crackled and popped through the air. Mu Chen gripped Wen Shu's hand tightly and led her quickly towards the parking lot.

After finding the car, Mu Chen skillfully opened the door and let Wen Shu get in first. Then, he climbed into the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and started the engine. With a deep roar as the car started, it slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Outside the car window, the wind still howled fiercely, and the tree branches swayed violently as if they might break at any moment. But inside the car, it was warm and peaceful. Mu Chen gripped the steering wheel intently, driving the car steadily. Before long, they finally arrived at their cozy home.

Wen Shu and Mu Chen entered the room one after the other. Feeling the warmth of the room, they took off their heavy coats and sat down comfortably on the soft sofa.

At this moment, Aunt Hu walked over with a smile, steadily carrying a tray with two steaming cups of tea on it. Aunt Hu carefully placed the tray on the coffee table, and the two cups of hot tea, exuding a faint aroma, appeared in front of Mu Chen and Wen Shu.

Mu Chen gently inhaled the aroma of tea in the air and immediately felt refreshed. He couldn't resist taking a small sip of the hot tea in his cup, feeling a fresh and elegant flavor spread in his mouth. Curious, he asked, "Aunt Hu, is this tea newly bought? It tastes very special."

Upon hearing Mu Chen's question, Aunt Hu quickly explained with a smile, "Sir, these weren't bought. These are the osmanthus blossoms from the osmanthus tree in our yard that bloomed this autumn. After picking them and drying them, they're ready to be used for making tea."

Wen Shu, who had been engrossed in her phone, immediately put it down upon hearing Aunt Hu's words. She picked up her teacup with interest and took a small sip. Instantly, the rich fragrance of osmanthus filled her mouth, and she exclaimed, "It is indeed fragrant and delightful, Aunt Hu! You are truly amazing!"

Receiving Wen Shu's praise made Aunt Hu feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey. A bright smile bloomed on her face, and she humbly said, "Madam, you flatter me. It is my honor to make you like me." After saying that, Aunt Hu turned around and quickly went into the kitchen to start busying herself.

The kitchen was bustling with the sounds of pots and pans clattering and knives hitting the cutting board. Aunt Hu was busy chopping vegetables and cooking rice at the same time, but she was organized and efficient despite her busy schedule.

Wen Shu was sitting on the sofa, idly scrolling through her phone, her fingers constantly swiping the screen as all sorts of information rushed past her. Suddenly, a headline caught her eye—"Swiss Appraiser Recruitment." Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Filled with intense curiosity, Wen Shu eagerly clicked on the webpage. Upon entering the page, an introductory video automatically played. It turned out to be a new type of treasure appraisal method—authenticating the authenticity and value of items via video call. This innovative model struck Wen Shu as incredibly novel and interesting.

"No time like the present!" Wen Shu decided to apply and give it a try. She carefully read the application requirements and procedures, and then began to fill out her resume meticulously. Name, age, education, work experience... she filled in every item with utmost care. After completing all the required fields, Wen Shu took a deep breath and checked it again and again to ensure there were no mistakes or omissions.

After confirming everything was correct, Wen Shu clicked the "Submit" button and chose to send her resume via email. Watching the progress bar slowly advance until it finally displayed "Sent Successfully," Wen Shu was filled with anticipation. Would this attempt bring her unexpected opportunities?

Just then, Aunt Hu emerged slowly from the kitchen with a smile on her face. She carried a tray steadily in her hands, laden with a variety of delicious-looking dishes. The first thing that caught the eye was a bowl of steaming, fragrant sweet fermented rice balls. Each plump, round glutinous rice ball rolled gently in the thick, sweet fermented rice broth, as if dancing joyfully, making one want to take a bite immediately.

Next, Aunt Hu carefully placed a plate of tempting braised fish on the table. The fish had clearly been carefully prepared; its skin was slightly golden and crispy, while the flesh was tender and juicy. A gentle poke with chopsticks revealed its softness and delicate texture. The perfectly balanced addition of scallions, ginger, and garlic gave the dish an irresistible aroma.

Besides the sweet fermented rice balls and braised fish, there was also a plate of braised pork belly on the table, its color a glossy red, with a perfect balance of lean and fat. Each piece of meat was stewed until it was very flavorful, melting in your mouth, rich but not greasy. Accompanying it was a plate of stir-fried greens and mushrooms, the bright greens and white mushrooms complementing each other, adding not only to the visual appeal but also to the refreshing taste.

Mu Chen leisurely sniffed, and a rich aroma of food instantly filled his nostrils. The fragrance seemed to transform into playful little hands, gently tickling his taste buds and stomach lining. His stomach then let out a timely "groan," as if urging him to quickly enjoy this delicious meal.

He smiled slightly, walked to the dining table with the person beside him, and sat down opposite them. Soft light shone on the table, illuminating the exquisite dishes on the plates, making them look exceptionally tempting.

The two enjoyed their meal while chatting happily. Their laughter, like the tinkling of silver bells, echoed in the air from time to time.
