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

Chen Chen looked at Lin Muxi with a helpless and somewhat tangled expression:

"Xiaoxi, my family asked me to go back to visit the graves and pay respects to our ancestors during Qingming Festival, so I might have to be away for a few days.

There's a lot going on with the website, and I'm a little worried they'll be overwhelmed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Muxi's originally bright eyes drooped slightly.

Those long eyelashes were like two wings, covering the emotions in the eyes, and only whispered:
"So this is what you wanted to talk about..."

Qingming Festival is coming soon.

In the past, Lin Muxi would nag her father to go back to Yuecheng to worship her mother every Qingming Festival.

However, her father never agreed and did not allow her to go back.

It was precisely because of this that she couldn't wait to return to Yuecheng as soon as the winter vacation started.

Chen Chen keenly noticed that Lin Muxi was in a low mood at the moment.

He knew in his heart that Lin Muxi was longing to return to Yuecheng to pay homage to her mother. When he just mentioned going home to visit the grave, it must have touched upon the regret in her heart.

Chen Chen gently took Lin Muxi's hand and comforted her:
"Xiaoxi, come back with me then. It just so happens that I also want to go pay my respects to my future mother-in-law and express my sincere gratitude to her so that she can rest assured and leave you to me."

Lin Muxi was slightly startled, and slowly raised his head, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, and his voice was soft but trembling:

"You want to go with me... to worship my mother?"

Chen Chen held her hand tightly, his eyes firm and bright, giving her full affirmation:

"Yes."

Lin Muxi's eyes were slightly red, and her heart seemed to be gently wrapped by a warm current. All the long-standing regrets and loneliness seemed to have found a place to rest at this moment.

She bit her lower lip slightly, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and said softly:

"Senior, thank you."

Thank you for being with me, comforting me, and giving me strength.

Chen Chen gently held her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly:
"I'll be there from now on. When we get there, I'll need you to say a few good words for me in front of my mother-in-law."

Lin Muxi burst into laughter and looked up at Chen Chen, "It's a deal then. We'll go back together then."

……

The work of building the website is progressing intensively.

The weekend came quickly.

Since Friday, Chen Chen's heart has been as nervous as if there were seven or eight buckets in his heart.

After all, this meeting was not ordinary. It was his first time to formally meet Lin Muxi's father.

Before this, he had mentally prepared himself countless times.

I kept telling myself to stay calm and composed, but when the day finally came, the feeling of nervousness was completely different.

Lin Muxi looked at Chen Chen, who was a little restless, with a slight smile on his face and a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and said jokingly:
"Senior, you're not... nervous, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen took a deep breath, as if trying to expel all the tension in his heart.

He shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said to himself:
"It's normal for an ugly son-in-law to be nervous when he meets his father-in-law for the first time."

Lin Muxi was amused by his appearance and burst out laughing. Her smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring.

She gently reached out her hand and took Chen Chen's arm, her movements natural and intimate:
"Don't be nervous, my dad is actually very easy to get along with. You're so outstanding, he'll definitely like you as soon as they meet."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, as if afraid that a bigger movement would reveal his inner nervousness. He tried to force a smile, but it was a little stiff. He said:
"I really hope so. I'm worried that I might accidentally leave a bad impression on your father."

Although he said this, cold sweat still broke out from his clenched hands.

"By the way, remember to bring the gifts we prepared earlier."

Lin Muxi suddenly reminded.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that."

Chen Chen slapped his head and spoke quickly.

"Senior, where are you going? You're going the wrong way."

Lin Muxi smiled and pointed to the table beside him.

"I've already taken out the gift and placed it on the table."

"Oh, you've taken it out?" Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, and responded in a daze.

Lin Muxi gently shook Chen Chen's arm and said coquettishly, "Okay, let's go."

Chen Chen finally came back to his senses, picked up the gift on the table, and the two walked towards the elevator side by side.

The driver had been waiting in the basement for a long time.

Chen Chen and Lin Muxi took the elevator to the basement together. The car was parked there steadily, and the car body reflected a calm luster under the dim light.

After they got in the car, it started slowly and drove out of the basement smoothly.

Along the way, Chen Chen felt both excited and a little nervous, and from time to time he looked out the window at the street scenes passing by quickly.

About half an hour later, the car slowly turned into a quiet lane. The lush trees on both sides were like loyal guards, silently guarding this tranquility.

Then, the car slowly drove into the hillside villa area, the most expensive area in Jiangcheng.

Through the car window, Chen Chen saw the magnificent villa in front of him. The exquisite architectural style and spacious courtyard all showed luxury and grandeur.

He slightly widened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his tone, and asked softly: "This... is your home?"

Chen Chen had long known that Lin Muxi came from a wealthy family, but when he actually saw her palace-like villa with his own eyes, he was still deeply shocked.

The overwhelming sense of luxury made him feel the huge gap in their family backgrounds. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions.

Lin Muxi nodded slightly with her usual calm smile on her face, as if she was already accustomed to such luxury.

"Well, we're here, senior, don't be nervous."

She patted Chen Chen's hand gently, trying to soothe his complicated mood at the moment.

The car slowly stopped in front of the villa. A neatly-dressed butler was already waiting there and respectfully opened the car door for them.

Chen Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and walked towards the villa gate with Lin Muxi.

The moment he stepped into the villa, Chen Chen seemed to have entered a whole new world.

Gorgeous crystal chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, and the dazzling light shines on the mirror-like marble floor, reflecting dreamy light and shadow.

There are priceless works of art hanging on the walls, each of which exudes a strong artistic atmosphere.

"Dad, we're back." Lin Muxi's clear voice echoed in the spacious living room.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament stood up from the sofa in the living room. He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, and his face was kind yet dignified. (End of this chapter)
