Chapter 252 - Not as Good as a Dog

"Our little Ya really knows how to talk." Grandma Mu was amused by the little girl and laughed heartily. She then called out to a few people, "Come over and eat. Ya, sit next to grandma. Xingfeng, bring An Ran over to sit here."

Mu Xingfeng led An Ran over to sit down.

He Yushu noticed An Ran’s still-pale face and asked with concern, "Ran, are you frightened? How about we have Servant Chen make you some Calming Soup later?"

An Ran quickly waved her hand, "Auntie, there’s no need. I’m fine."

"It’s necessary, necessary. Chen, go make a bowl of Calming Soup."

Grandma Mu chimed in and directly instructed a servant to make the Calming Soup.

Mu Wanxin kissed the puppy again before handing it to a nearby servant. She then walked to the dining table, trying to tame her messy hair.

Mu Zhenzong looked at his daughter with some dissatisfaction and frowned, "Wanxin, tidy yourself up before coming to eat. Wenxuan will be landing soon, are you planning to meet him looking like this?"

The family had always pampered this daughter, so she lacked the demeanor of a respectable young lady. If it weren’t for his father’s objections, he would have sent her to the army for some disciplined training long ago.

"Brother wouldn’t mind Sister-in-law looking like this." The little girl interjected at the right moment, making everyone at the table laugh again.

"Is Wenxuan coming back today?" Mu Xingfeng asked, while serving a dumpling to An Ran.

Mu Zhenzong put down his chopsticks when he heard this, "Yes, he’s on a morning flight. I didn’t inform you last night because you came back late. After breakfast, you and your sister should go pick him up together. Recently, we discussed with the Shen Family to finalize your sister and Wenxuan’s wedding plans before the new year. Since you’re at home, you need to help your sister with the preparations."

"Okay, I will," Mu Xingfeng responded readily.

"Is Sister-in-law marrying Brother?" The little girl asked with a mouthful of dumpling.

"Yes, once they are engaged, we need to prepare for the wedding," He Yushu replied with a smile.

"That’s great! I won’t be separated from Niuniu anymore in the future."

Everyone: "...."

"You little heartless thing, don’t you want to never be separated from your Sister-in-law?" Mu Wanxin asked indignantly. She was really pissed off; after all that effort, it turned out she wasn’t as important as a dog.

"You never being separated from Brother is good enough," the little girl said solemnly, making everyone laugh again.

An Ran looked enviously at the harmonious family.

Mu Xingfeng’s gaze softened as he looked at her, and he whispered in her ear, "That is my elder sister’s future sister-in-law, Shen Mengya. We’ll be going to pick up her future brother-in-law, Shen Wenxuan, soon."

An Ran nodded with a smile, "Okay."

She loved this harmonious atmosphere. Even after just a day of being with them, she already liked this family. Thank you, Instructor Mu. Thank you for letting me feel the warmth of a family when I had lost my own, even though it’s only temporary, I will cherish this moment.

Shen Wenxuan’s flight was at 10:30 in the morning. After breakfast, the group set off.

Shen Mengya was driven to the Mu Family by her family’s driver. She and Mu Wanxin got into the Shen Family’s car directly, while Mu Xingfeng drove his own car with An Ran in it, following behind.

In the car, Mu Xingfeng explained to An Ran that Old Mr. Shen, their grandfather, and Old Mr. Lin were all old revolutionaries from the same era. Back then, the three families lived in the same courtyard. As their living conditions improved, they moved out one after another, but the families remained close.

Shen Wenxuan is the eldest grandson of Old Mr. Shen and basically a childhood sweetheart with his sister. They established their relationship long ago; it’s just that both have been busy with their careers, so their wedding had been delayed.

Given what his father said, it seems their engagement would be settled before the new year, so the wedding shouldn’t be far off.

Shen Mengya came today to return the dog to her sister. The dog belongs to her sister, but Shen Mengya likes it and often takes it to raise. However, Shen Wenxuan knows how much his sister cares about the dog and doesn’t allow Mengya to take it often. Knowing that Shen Wenxuan was coming back today, Mengya got up early to return the dog, afraid that Wenxuan would find out and scold her.
