Chapter 358: I just wanted to give them all a home.
"Musen, where is Nuannuan now? Does this outfit look appropriate on me?"
Early in the morning, Mother Xu called for Xu Musen.
Today, An Nuannuan was going to visit their home.
Although they had met before in Huhai,
this would be the first real visit to their home.
Mother Xu, who would soon be a mother-in-law, was extremely nervous.
She had changed her clothes several times.
Xu Musen, seeing her almost ready to don a gown, couldn't help but laugh, "We've met before, just wear what you usually wear. She probably won't be off the plane for another hour."
"How can that be the same? Last time it was over at your place, but this time it's a proper visit to our home... Oh right, the red packet! I need to go prepare another red packet."
"Haven't you already given her one before?"
"That doesn't count, this time she's visiting our home, and we need to give a bigger one!"
Mother Xu was nervous, but when it came to her son's lifelong matters, she took no half-measures and packed all the money she had been saving for a gold bracelet into the red packet.
"Sure, pack as much as you want; it's going to be your son's money in the future anyway," Xu Musen said with a laugh.
In the living room, Yao Mingyue sat on the sofa, watching Xu Musen without saying anything, just pouting her lips.
Once Nuannuan arrived, they would no longer be able to stick together as they did.
Even some of their casual actions, already considered excessively sweet by others,
"You're giving me the cold shoulder this early in the morning?"
Xu Musen came over to her side and pinched her cheek with a light chuckle.
"Just giving it anyway, since someone else will be giving you a warmer welcome later."
Yao Mingyue hummed, her face filled with sour jealousy.
"Talking as if Nuannuan is like aftersales service cleaning up a mess for you."
Xu Musen pinched her little nose, "Alright, don't act like a little resentful wife."
Yao Mingyue pulled her nose away and bit Xu Musen's finger, "I'm more like a young widow!"
Xu Musen was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh, flicking her forehead, "That was in a past life, you won't have that chance in this life, I'm definitely going to live a long, healthy life."
"Hmph, just you wait. Nuannuan could take half your life, be careful she doesn't suffocate you one night as you roll over in bed..."
Yao Mingyue still harbored some specific grievances.
Xu Musen sighed with a helpless smile, having more girls by his side might look enviable to outsiders, but some issues were indeed a headache.
Girls were already tough to please, if you add rivals jealous of each other into the mix, oh my, Xu Musen feared he might really age prematurely.
Seeing his expression, Yao Mingyue's almond-shaped eyes twirled, her rosy lips slightly pursed, glistening like a gem under the summer sun and rather tempting.
She beckoned Xu Musen with a curl of her finger, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
"Can't you just say it from there?"
"Do you want Uncle and Auntie to hear about us being husband and wife in our past lives?"
Yao Mingyue wrinkled her nose, tilting up her fair chin.
Xu Musen shrugged. Words like that, even if heard by his parents, wouldn't be believed.
But his parents had never really forgotten Yao Mingyue as a potential daughter-in-law, who knows what thoughts hearing her say something like that might provoke.
Xu Musen bent closer to her, looking at her face now very near, "What are you trying to say—"
Before he could finish, Yao Mingyue grabbed his collar, and without waiting for Xu Musen to react, she pulled him in for a soft kiss from the young girl.
Yao Mingyue kissed fiercely, as if trying to take all the kisses she might miss in the coming days in advance.
A few seconds later, she pushed him away, her heartbeat racing the fastest, her beautiful face now flushed.
Xu Musen moved his lips slightly, as if he still could taste the subtle sweetness of roses. This little sickly cutie really wasn't afraid of being seen by the family.
"These are in advance as a reward for you; you need to restrain yourself these coming days, keep your distance from me, and don't come to me for no reason, understand?"
Yao Mingyue raised her rosy, plump lips, uttering words that almost made Xu Musen burst into laughter.
Xu Musen pinched her chin, lowering his head to kiss her even more firmly.
Yao Mingyue was genuinely nervous now because if Uncle and Auntie came out, they would definitely see.
"You... pervert."
"Congratulations, you got it right. In the future, don't fight with me over these matters, I'm the man, you know?"
Xu Musen replied with a smile.
Yao Mingyue's heart pounded, and she turned her head slightly, "You're not afraid of Uncle and Auntie seeing..."
To be honest, Yao Mingyue didn't even know how she would face Father Xu and Mother Xu in the future.
"They will find out eventually; this isn't for you to worry about. Whatever I want to do, I'll gradually balance it all out in the future," Xu Musen whispered, gently lifting Yao Mingyue.
Those words left Yao Mingyue unsure whether to feel happy or jealous, but to her, even with all the adversities of a previous life,
Xu Musen was still willing to keep her in an important place in his heart.
She leaned softly into Xu Musen's arms, "You scoundrel..."
Xu Musen smiled, preparing to carry her downstairs.
Just then, Father Xu and Mother Xu also came out and saw the two in their current state, pausing only briefly before smiling, "Take your time on the way; we'll be waiting at home for you to join us for dinner."
