In the car, everyone was happily chatting.
Father Xu and Mother Xu hadn't been to Huhai for many years.
Looking out the car window at the tall buildings, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"This Huhai is more developed than our hotown. Look at these skyscrapers, the housing prices mustn't be cheap."
As parents, they naturally wanted to create better conditions for their children. Apart from anything else, being able to buy a house and settle in Huhai would make things like college entrance exams much easier than in their hotown.
But the housing prices in Huhai were already beyond what ordinary people could afford; they reckoned even a lifeti of hard work wouldn't be enough to buy even a bathroom.
Musen just smiled and said nothing.
Liu Rushuang saw it and chuckled, "Our little Sen is now a big boss. In the future, he could buy a big villa in Huhai and have you all move over."
"If he can take good care of himself, that will be enough. After all, we have a house back ho; he'll always have a place to stay."
Mother Xu felt pleased hearing this, but knew not to put too much pressure on their son. The past few years had been tough enough; being happy for the rest of his life would suffice.
"Mom, you're underestimating . I might not beco the world's richest man in the future, but being a little tycoon is certainly possible." Musen said cheerfully.
"You shouldn't get arrogant just because you've achieved a little, look at your tail wagging to the sky."
"Hmph, Auntie Jie, you don't know how aweso he is now, bossing us around every day, no one dares to ss with him; if anyone upsets him, he either docks our pay or doesn't let us eat..."
Yao Mingyue added fuel to the fire with her comnts on the side.
Musen simply turned his head and glanced at her.
Say whatever you want; anyway, once Nuannuan sees , my image as a caring and outstanding man will imdiately shine through.
However, Nuannuan, the little cutie, I don't know what she's preparing at ho; she's not good at housework or cooking, but being cute works pretty well.
The vehicle passed by the university entrance; Father Xu and Mother Xu looked at the grand university gate and showed relieved smiles again.
Traditional families still hold a certain obsession with higher education.
"Are we going to the school to pick up Nuannuan first?"
Mother Xu asked, as one of the main purposes of this trip was to et their future daughter-in-law.
"No need, Nuannuan is already waiting for us at ho."
Musen smiled, and the vehicle left the university gateway, arriving at a nearby residential area in just two minutes.
"This place looks nice, these large flats seem so spacious. Ru Shuang, is this the new house you sold?"
Mother Xu instinctively asked Liu Rushuang.
Liu Rushuang smiled and said, "I didn't buy this."
As she spoke, she also glanced towards Musen.
Mother Xu paused, looking at her son driving, his lips curving up as if awaiting praise.
"Musen, is this...a house you're renting here?"
Musen: "..."
"Pfft, haha."
Yao Mingyue laughed heartily, amused to see him put in his place.
"Mom, you're really underestimating your son's capability. I wanted to keep a low profile, but now I'll lay my cards on the table, I actually bought a house here."
Musen directly confessed to his hoowner status.
Father Xu and Mother Xu exchanged glances, a bit shocked. They knew the housing prices in Huhai, and such a large flat would easily cost millions.
"It's really his own, I've told you before, little Sen is very capable, you just wait for the good days ahead."
Liu Rushuang spoke cheerfully, pride evident in her eyes as she looked at Musen—he was like a son to her, after all.
As soon as Liu Rushuang spoke, Father Xu and Mother Xu imdiately believed her, exchanging glances again and taking another look at the beautiful and impressive flat from the car window.
The couple suddenly felt an indescribable excitent, pride, and so guilt.
The big events of their son's life—buying a car, buying a house, getting married—had all been managed without their help, which complicated their feelings.
They were happy that their son had grown up.
But sad to see themselves truly aging.
Suddenly feeling a bit teary-eyed.
"Mom and dad, please don't get too excited. We are going to et Nuannuan soon; if you go up there with red eyes, people might think sothing's wrong."
Musen, noticing his parents' emotional changes, spoke with a light chuckle.
"You little rascal..."
Mother Xu dabbed at the tear at the corner of her eye, her heart filled more with excitent and pride.
In the blink of an eye, Musen had resolved the car and house issues, only marrying left.
Mother Xu's gaze still instinctively fell on Yao Mingyue, who was quietly sitting in the passenger seat.
"From now on, you need to be even better to your Aunt Liu and Ming Yue. Our families haven't co this far easily; nothing is more important than our relationship."
Mother Xu spoke, holding Liu Rushuang's hand, the mothers united in their thoughts.
"Of course."
Musen nodded, his gaze also turning to Yao Mingyue.
The two exchanged a look, and Yao Mingyue suddenly scoffed, turning her head away with a haughty twist.
Musen laughed.
He got out of the car to gather the luggage.
Musen took out his phone and texted Nuannuan.
"We've already arrived downstairs, have you prepared everything?"
Although Musen wasn't sure what exactly she was preparing.
On the other end, Nuannuan's responses ca quickly.
"Yep! Everything's ready, co on up."
Musen, looking at the ssage, thought to himself that she didn't even send a bunny emoji, definitely still nervous.
Musen smiled to himself. Ah, an ugly bride has to et the in-laws soti, especially one as beautiful as Nuannuan.
"Okay."
Musen replied to the ssage and began carrying the luggage upstairs.
