Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

In the days that followed, Lin Muxi, following a carefully prepared itinerary, took Chen Chen's parents and Chen Yuanyuan on a joyful trip.

They went to a scenic suburban park, where Liu Xiuying was captivated by the wildflowers covering the hillsides and kept taking photos.

On the bustling ancient street, Chen Jianwen sampled various traditional snacks and praised them highly.

At night, they strolled along the riverbank, admiring the dazzling night view and experiencing the unique charm of the city.

Wherever they went, they left behind their joyful laughter and wonderful memories.

Although Chen Chen is busy with work, he joins them whenever he has free time, and the family gets along harmoniously and warmly.

Seeing the happy smiles on his parents' faces, Chen Chen knew that all of this was inseparable from Lin Muxi's dedication.

That evening, seeing Lin Muxi's exhausted appearance from walking too much recently, Chen Chen said with heartache:

"You've really worked hard these past few days."

"It's not tiring at all. I feel very comfortable spending time with the uncles and aunts. Yuanyuan is also a very good playmate."

To be honest, after these few days of travel, Lin Muxi is almost reluctant to go back to work.

However, she didn't say it.

After all, the studio is just starting out and is developing in a good direction. No matter what, she can't hold it back.

Chen Chen noticed the subtle changes in her expression, and although he didn't point it out, his heart softened even more.

He knew that Lin Muxi was always sensible and never complained easily. He cherished this understanding and sense of responsibility even more.

He gripped her hand tightly, the warmth of his palm conveying silent gratitude and support:
"Seeing Mom, Dad and Yuanyuan so happy, I know that without you, none of this would be so perfect."

Lin Muxi felt the warmth and strength in his palm, and the slight disappointment caused by exhaustion in her heart instantly vanished, replaced by a feeling of complete peace and sweetness.

She squeezed his hand in return, her eyes sparkling with a hint of playfulness: "So... is there any reward?"

Chen Chen looked at the sparkle in her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle, playfully flicking her nose: "Of course there is. What reward do you want?"

"Really?" Lin Muxi's eyes lit up, her weariness seemingly lessened by the sudden anticipation. "Let me think..." Her eyes darted around, a mischievous smile appearing on her face, as she lightly traced circles on Chen Chen's chest with her fingers.
"The reward... let me think... um..."

She deliberately dragged out her words, building up his anticipation, and seeing the doting yet helpless expression on Chen Chen's face, she leaned close to his ear and whispered with a grin:

"I want you……"

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting her to make such a request.

Lin Muxi raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. "No, it won't work."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Chen Chen smiled and tapped her forehead, saying, "Since my wife has a request, as her husband, I naturally have to fulfill it."

After saying that, he picked the person up by the waist and carried him to the bed.

Lin Muxi was just basking in the sweetness of his calling her "my dear wife" when she was suddenly lifted into the air and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

You're so naughty~

He didn't even say hello to her.

……

Two days later, the family finished breakfast.

As Liu Xiuying cleared away the dishes, she casually mentioned, "Xiao Chen, Mu Xi," she paused, glancing at the two of them.

"My wife and I discussed it and decided to go back tomorrow."

"Uncle and Aunt, are you going back so soon?"

Lin Muxi looked reluctant to part.

"I wanted to spend more time with you all and explore the world a little longer..."

Chen Chen also looked at his parents. Although he had expected they wouldn't stay long, hearing the confirmed news still filled him with a sense of melancholy. (End of Chapter)
