Chapter 270: Chapter 268 Reunion between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law 1_1

Then she belatedly realized what he had just said and her ears turned red. Suddenly defiant, she lifted her head and retorted in a soft voice, "That’s not true!"

Mu Yingchen had just said it casually, to tease her, but seeing her react so strongly, he knew from his understanding of her that she must have been thinking about him just before.

At this thought, he couldn’t help feeling delighted deep down.

"Not true?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Not true!" Su Wanxia said with conviction.

"Hmm, if it’s not true, then it’s not true," Mu Yingchen nodded, and then added, "Come back with me tonight to have a look..."

By saying let’s have a look, it showed he was seeking her opinion.

Su Wanxia’s body stiffened involuntarily. Go to the Mu Family? To meet his mother and grandfather?

Was that really okay?

Seeing the hesitation on Su Wanxia’s face, Mu Yingchen suddenly squatted down in front of her, his hands naturally resting on her legs.

"Wanwan... I just want us to have the blessings of our family when we get married." And most importantly, he needed his mother and grandfather to approve of her status. He wanted the whole world to know that she was the woman he cherished beyond all else and the future mistress of the Mu Family!

He didn’t want her to suffer any grievances, nor did he want people to gossip behind her back about being an in-law the Mu Family didn’t approve of. If it weren’t for these reasons, he would have taken her to get their marriage certificate long ago.

Su Wanxia knew he was trying hard to bridge the relationship between her and his family, but she really didn’t dare to hope that his mother would compromise easily, even without that contract.

However, since this was what he wished for, she would go along with it fully, to lessen his burdens.

"Mhm." She looked into his deep eyes and nodded with a smile.

Seeing her nod, Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but take her hand and lower his head to kiss her pale and slender knuckles.

"Hey, hey, that’s enough, you two. If you want to show affection, go home and do it. Are we just air to you?" Mu Chuyang called out from not too far away.

Su Wanxia was originally sitting by this small wooden tea table with Jian Manhui, but when Mu Yingchen came over, Jian Manhui consciously moved to another tea table.

Although the crowd was at a distance from them, their eyes couldn’t help but glance over from time to time. When they saw Mu Yingchen take Su Wanxia’s hand and kiss it, Mu Chuyang couldn’t stand it and shouted out loud. His shout voiced what everyone was thinking: showing off love is something anyone can do, but don’t do it in broad daylight. It’s tasteless, especially for single people who witness it—it leaves a bad taste in their mouth, like a certain present company—Su Ran.

He was thoroughly despising Mu Yingchen at that moment. After all, he was part of Wanxia’s family. Was Mu Yingchen taking advantage of Wanxia right in front of her kin without his approval?

But on second thought, there wasn’t much he could do if Wanxia herself agreed.

Upon hearing Mu Chuyang’s shout, Su Wanxia glared at Mu Yingchen squatting in front of her.

Mu Yingchen smiled and then stood up from in front of her.

"Stay a little longer, and then we’ll leave—"

"Mhm," Su Wanxia nodded.

Shanshan and Ningning from the Feng Family had become so absorbed in their playtime; after lunch, she stuck with them and didn’t cling to her own daddy and mommy. Perhaps she also realized that always following her parents wasn’t ideal, so she conscientiously went off to play on her own. In Aunty Manman’s words, they were fostering relationships!

After hanging around for a while longer, Mu Yingchen was the first to stand up and say his goodbyes to everyone. Once he said they were leaving, Su Wanxia and Shanshan would certainly follow him out.

As soon as they mentioned leaving, Su Ran and Jian Manhui followed suit, and it went without saying for Mu Chuyang and Yan Yirou, the young couple who were even planning on taking a stroll.

The group said their goodbyes reluctantly, and Su Wanxia and Shanshan naturally got into Mu Yingchen’s car, but Jian Manhui was in a bit of a dilemma. She had arrived in Su Ran’s car, but now that little Shanshan had nestled into her mommy’s embrace, it left just her and Su Ran, which felt somewhat awkward.

Seeing Jian Manhui standing by the car, conflicted, Su Wanxia couldn’t help but snicker inwardly, "Manhui, just let Su Ran take you home, okay? We’re heading off now~~"

Jian Manhui, extremely annoyed, pulled open the rear car door and got in. On the way there, she had driven, but this man wouldn’t allow it. If she had driven her own car, would there have been so many awkward moments? Really!

As soon as Su Ran stepped on the accelerator, the car sped away from the spot, with a shout trailing in the wind, "Hey! Slow down, will you?"

Su Wanxia watched the car getting further and further away and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

"That Su Ran, who exactly is he?" Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but ask.

He had found out that Su Ran was the second in command of the Qinglong Association, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t turn up any information on his identity or which family he came from.

Su Wanxia smiled faintly, "He calls my grandpa his adoptive father, so I guess he’s like a child adopted by Grandpa--" She had always thought so. As for Su Ran’s past, she hadn’t asked too much. After all, Su Yun had told her that they were children adopted by Grandpa from the streets, so their origins must surely be tied to some sorrowful past.

Having heard Su Wanxia’s explanation, Mu Yingchen nodded slightly, understanding at last why he couldn’t find any information about his background. So that was the case.

He couldn’t help but snort coldly. Su Ran might look gentle and harmless, but in reality, he was a smiling tiger. When pushed, he could definitely be as fierce as a wolf. So, if Jian Manhui were to be with him, that path wouldn’t be easy either.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. He just needed to hurry up and bring his own wife home.

"Daddy, are you going to take mommy and me to see grandma and great-grandpa?" Shanshan suddenly asked Mu Yingchen, tilting her little head adorably.

"Yeah--do you want to go?"

"Mmhmm, I definitely do."

Shanshan felt that her grandma and great-grandpa were very nice to her, so she wasn’t opposed to going to the Mu Family.

Listening to Shanshan’s words, Su Wanxia felt mixed emotions stir within her.

Upon arriving at the Mu Family home, Su Wanxia couldn’t help but feel nervous. She had only visited the Mu Family home twice. The very first time was when Mu Yingchen’s mother negotiated terms with her, and the second was when Mu Yingchen forcibly brought her here, after which she ran away on her own.

This time was the third---

What would happen this time after she entered?

It was still the familiar building, classical and elegant, solemn and quiet--

When the car stopped in front of the main building, Su Wanxia’s heart settled down. She had already faced the worst scenarios; what was there to fear now?

After they got out of the car, the Old Master Mu and Mu’s mother hurried out from the house.

As soon as Shanshan saw the two of them, she immediately called out and ran towards them, "Grandma, Great-Grandpa."

"Oh, come here, let great-grandpa hug you." The Old Master Mu was so happy that his eyes were barely visible.

But Mu’s mother stood still, staring intently at Su Wanxia, who was close at hand.
