Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

On this day of family gathering, before the morning sun had fully bathed the earth, the old house was already filled with laughter and joy, bustling with activity. Mu Chen carefully carried the carefully prepared gift, while Wen Shu beside him smiled as the two walked slowly into the house side by side.

Along the way, Mu Chen introduced the elders of his family to Wen Shu in a soft, gentle voice. Wen Shu maintained an elegant demeanor throughout, nodding slightly and offering a warm smile. Just as they were about to enter the living room, Mu Chen's mother spotted Wen Shu, and her eyes instantly lit up with joy, as if she had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

Today, Mu Chen's mother was dressed in a bright ginger-yellow outfit, perfectly complemented by the jewelry Wen Shu had specially chosen—a match made in heaven. Mu Chen's mother happily led Wen Shu into the room, praising her daughter-in-law's discerning eye and elegant taste. At that moment, Mu Chen's aunt was also in the room, giving Wen Shu the opportunity to finally meet her aunt's adopted daughter, Ruan Tiantian.

When Mu Chen's mother warmly introduced Ruan Tiantian to Wen Shu, Wen Shu couldn't help but think to herself. The name sounded familiar... oh, that's the woman who answered Mu Chen's call that night. But soon, a polite and friendly smile appeared on her face, because Ruan Tiantian, just as her name suggested, did indeed give off a sweet and lovely feeling.

Ruan Tiantian has a delicate and adorable baby face, with skin as white as snow, as tender as a porcelain doll. Her large, bright eyes are like two dazzling gems, sparkling with lively light. Not only that, even her voice is soft and sweet, like a gentle breeze. At this moment, she is wearing a pink dress, which makes her even more charming and lovely, the epitome of a well-behaved girl.

Just then, Mu Chen's gentle mother walked up to Wen Shu with a smile, carefully holding a meticulously wrapped gift in her hands. The gift looked small and exquisite, but its delicate appearance conveyed the deep affection it contained.

"My dear Wen Shu, this is a little surprise I prepared especially for you! But you can only open it after you get home," Mu Chen's mother said softly, her eyes full of love and care for Wen Shu.

Wen Shu happily accepted the gift, her gratitude overflowing: "Thank you, Auntie! You're so thoughtful!" She then gently placed the gift into her bag, carefully zipping it up as if afraid of damaging it in the slightest. It was as if this small package carried incredibly precious emotions and expectations, needing to be carefully placed.

Mu Chen knew very well that Wen Shu never liked noisy or chaotic environments, and she wasn't particularly familiar with the people present. To prevent Wen Shu from getting into an awkward conversation, Mu Chen considerately led her upstairs to his own room.

As soon as they entered the room, Mu Chen looked at Wen Shu gently and said, "Don't be too reserved. Just make yourself at home. We can go downstairs together when it's time to eat." After saying that, he gently patted Wen Shu's shoulder to show his comfort and encouragement.

Wen Shu gently pressed the power button on her phone. The screen lit up, and she quickly unlocked it and opened her email application. She stared intently at the screen, eagerly anticipating a reply to the email she had sent yesterday. But as time ticked by, her inbox remained empty. A sense of disappointment gradually welled up inside her, as if the email had been like a pebble thrown into a vast ocean, instantly swallowed up without a trace.

However, Wen Shu did not give up hope. She slowly put down her phone and began to pace around Mu Chen's room, her gaze casually sweeping over the surroundings. The room was simply yet warmly furnished, with several paintings hanging on the walls and a neat stack of books and stationery on the desk.

As they walked, Wen Shu stopped by the window, gazing at the lush greenery outside, and asked thoughtfully, "Have you always lived in this old house, Chen?"

Sitting at his desk, Mu Chen looked up, smiled slightly, and replied, "No, I used to live in the city with my parents. But later, my grandfather got older and his health deteriorated. My parents couldn't bear to leave him alone here, so they decided to move back to take care of him. At that time, I had just been admitted to university, so they took the opportunity to return to the old house. Because I was busy with my studies, I only had time to come back to visit on weekends, holidays, or when school was on break." As he said this, a trace of concern and longing for his family appeared in Mu Chen's eyes.

"Did my sister come today?" Wen Shu blinked her big eyes, asking with a face full of curiosity. Her bright eyes revealed her anticipation for her sister's arrival. "I only saw my sister once at the last gathering, and there was also the cute little dumpling!" Recalling the happy times she spent with her sister and the little dumpling, Wen Shu couldn't help but smile, her face beaming with a warm smile.

Looking at Wen Shu's expectant expression, Mu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. He deliberately said in a slightly teasing tone, "Your sister lives a little far away, so it'll probably be a while before she gets there. What's wrong? Are you missing the little dumpling terribly? How about... we have one ourselves?" After saying that, he secretly glanced at Wen Shu out of the corner of his eye, observing her reaction.

Hearing this, Wen Shu was slightly taken aback, then a faint blush rose to her cheeks. She smiled shyly and said coquettishly, "Oh dear, there's no rush! Having a child is no small matter. Right now, I'm hoping to enjoy a few more years of freedom and carefree living. Let's talk about it in a few years." After saying this, she lowered her head gently, fiddling with the hem of her clothes, seemingly a little embarrassed to face Mu Chen's burning gaze.

Mu Chen quickly dialed his sister's number and held the phone to his ear, waiting for her to answer. A moment later, his sister's familiar voice came from the other end: "Hello, little brother, I'm on my way."

Mu Chen quickly asked, "Sis, you haven't arrived yet?"

The older sister said with a hint of helplessness, "Oh dear, we're here, but there are too many cars on the road, and it's a bit of a traffic jam. We might have to wait a little longer to get there."

Just then, the little boy ran over impatiently, snatched the phone from his mother's hand, and asked in his childish voice, "Uncle, has that pretty lady come yet?"

Looking at the adorable little dumpling, Mu Chen teased him, "You have to call him Auntie, you can't call him Sister anymore."

The little dumpling blinked her big eyes, nodded as if she understood, and then sweetly called out into the phone, "Is Auntie here? Uncle!" Her soft, sweet voice could melt anyone's heart.

Upon hearing the little dumpling's call, the older sister on the other end of the phone laughed and answered first, "Coming, coming, little dumpling, your auntie missed you so much!"
