Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Chengxu warmly greeted Wen Xin, not minding Mu Chengxi’s look, and directly took Wen Xin’s cold hand to walk into the yard, not caring that Mu Chengxi was left behind.

Wen Xin was led directly into Old Madam Mu’s yard by Mu Chengxu. Following behind them, Mu Chengxi handed the gift Wen Xin brought to the butler before leisurely entering Old Madam Mu’s yard.

When Mu Chengxi entered the yard and saw Wen Xin standing in the corridor, seemingly waiting for him, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly lifted as he walked over to her.

He bent down to look Wen Xin in the eye, asking in a soft voice, “Weren’t you running quite fast? Why not go inside?”

“There are so many people, and I don’t know them. I feel a bit shy,” Wen Xin replied to Mu Chengxi in a gentle and lazy tone.

Seeing the light laughter in Mu Chengxi’s eyes, she noticed that he had been in a good mood since waking up in the morning.

“Are you in a good mood today?” Wen Xin raised her hand to gently pinch Mu Chengxi, her eyes teasing.

Without moving away from Wen Xin’s hand on his ear, Mu Chengxi slowly moved closer to Wen Xin, his beautiful eyes filled with tenderness, “Of course, it’s my little ancestor’s birthday today. I’m naturally happy. It’s cold outside; let me take you in.”

A gust of wind suddenly blew over, and Mu Chengxi, who wasn’t wearing a thick coat, felt a bit chilly, worried that Wen Xin would be cold.

He embraced Wen Xin, using his body to block the cold wind coming from behind, and led Wen Xin towards the living room.

Upon entering the living room, Mu Chengxi’s elders were all sitting on the sofa, chatting about family matters. Old Madam Mu looked spirited and in a particularly good mood, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

“Little Yao and Little Xinxin are here. Come, come, come sit by grandma.” There were two empty seats right beside Old Madam Mu, specifically allocated for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.

Wen Xin, seeing all eyes in the room on her, didn’t feel embarrassed and calmly followed Mu Chengxi’s steps to sit next to Old Madam Mu, calling out “Grandma” somewhat sweetly.

“Ah!” Every time Old Madam Mu heard Wen Xin call her grandma, she felt delighted. She reached out to hold Wen Xin’s hand, warmly introducing the elders present.

“Little Xinxin, this is your Fifth Aunt and Uncle, and sitting behind are your Sixth Aunt and Uncle. We’re all family here; no need to be so formal.”

Old Madam Mu knew they were Mu Chengxi’s people, so she took this opportunity to call them over. The intention was clear: to remind them that this is the granddaughter-in-law recognized by Old Madam Mu, and they should take good care of her when they meet in the future.

Listening to Old Madam Mu’s introductions, Wen Xin obediently greeted the Fifth Aunt and Uncle, Sixth Aunt and Uncle, according to the introductions.

“What a beautiful girl, no wonder grandma always praises Little Seven’s girlfriend for being beautiful. Now that I see her in person, it’s not an exaggeration from Grandma; she is really beautiful!”

Fifth Aunt looked at Wen Xin with joy in her eyes. She had seen all the socialites in Beijing, but this was the first time she had encountered such a beautiful young girl. No no wonder Mu Chengxi had always been praised by Old Madam Mu, placing him on a pedestal.

Sixth Aunt wasn’t the talkative type and wasn’t as good at giving compliments as Fifth Aunt, but she looked at Wen Xin with a very gentle gaze, a soft smile on her lips.

“Little Xinxin, we heard today is your birthday. It’s our first meeting, so we prepared some small gifts, hoping you’ll like them.”

Saying this, Sixth Aunt stood up and took out an exquisite gift box from her handbag, which she had hurried to pick up from a mall after receiving Old Madam Mu’s call.

While selecting the gift, she ran into Mu Chengxi’s Fifth Aunt, and after discussing, they chose jewelry from the Hualuo brand, a brand particularly favored by the socialites in Beijing.

“I also prepared a gift for you. It took your Sixth Aunt and me a long time to decide on it. We both have sons, so we’ve never bought gifts for young girls before.”

Saying this, Fifth Aunt and Sixth Aunt both presented their gifts to Wen Xin. She stood up and accepted them graciously, saying “thank you” in a gentle tone.

As Wen Xin received the gifts, the bracelet on her wrist was exposed. Both Fifth Aunt and Sixth Aunt were surprised to see Wen Xin wear such a valuable item.

Their first thought was whether the Hualuo jewelry they chose might seem too trivial, realizing they should have selected more carefully.

Seeing Fifth Aunt and Sixth Aunt giving their gifts, Wei Manqing stood up and took out a square wooden box from behind her, which didn’t look like a small gift.

“Little Xinxin, my gift to you is quite special. It’s a longevity lock. I only wish you peace and smooth sailing!”

With that, Wei Manqing opened the square wooden box in front of Wen Xin, revealing a pure gold necklace inside, featuring a palm-sized solid gold lock engraved with “May all your wishes come true” on one side and “Peace and Prosperity” on the other.

Seeing the adult-sized gold lock, Wen Xin’s eyes involuntarily teared up, not knowing why her emotions suddenly overwhelmed her. She just felt cherished seeing such a thoughtful gift.

“Thank you, I really like it,” Wen Xin took the gift box from Wei Manqing, her tone even gentler, clearly showing everyone that she now regarded them as family.

“Good girl, happy birthday!”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Wen Xin turned and handed the gifts to Mu Chengxi, who was also seeing such a gift for the first time. When he took the gold lock necklace out of the box and felt its weight, he couldn’t hide his surprise.

The necklace weighed several pounds. He wondered if it was a gold brick rather than a necklace.

Mu Chengxu noticed Mu Chengxi’s expression, thinking Wei Manqing’s gold was too light, and Mu Chengxi was dissatisfied. She hurried over, trying to ease Mu Chengxi’s mood.

She took the necklace from Mu Chengxi’s hands and was equally startled by its weight.

“Mom, are you giving Little Xinxin a gold brick? I thought this could be worn around the neck, but if it’s worn on Little Xinxin’s slender neck, it might actually hurt. ”

“Oh, such things are better kept at home. Little Xinxin is young; she should wear something more fashionable. There’s no need for a gold necklace; it’s too old-fashioned!”

With that, Mu Chengxu chuckled and pulled out the gift she had prepared from her pocket..
