SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Lin Mu shook his head and walked into the living room, deliberately raising his voice: "Dad, Mom, is nobody paying attention to me?"

However, no one in the living room responded to him...

Lin Ye and Jiang Shuwan's gazes were fixed on Su Nianhe, not even sparing a glance for their son.

Su Nianhe slightly raised her eyes to meet Jiang Shuwan's gaze, her voice sweet: "Auntie, you're so beautiful! You look even younger than Nianhe, it's amazing! How do you maintain your youthful appearance?"

Jiang Shuwan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, then she covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh dear, Auntie is already so old, what's the point of talking about being beautiful or not?"

Despite saying that, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, thinking to herself: This future daughter-in-law is so pleasing.

Impressions skyrocketed at this moment!

Su Nianhe said sweetly, "That's right! Auntie is only about 20 years old. Nianhe is telling the truth!"

Lin Mu and Lin Ye were completely unable to get a word in edgewise.

Lin Mu sighed softly. He wanted to explain, but seeing his parents' reaction, he swallowed his words.

I doubt my parents would believe me even if I explained; they would just say I'm being dramatic.

Lin Ye watched the two of them flattering each other and chuckled to himself: This child and his wife have such similar personalities; their son will definitely be completely under their control in the future, no doubt about it.

Jiang Shuwan suddenly slapped her forehead, laughing as she pulled Su Nianhe towards the restaurant: "We were so busy chatting! The food's getting cold."

"Nianhe, Auntie didn't know what you liked to eat, so I made a little bit of everything. Please choose what you like and don't be shy!"

Su Nianhe paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Nianhe knows she will treat this place as her own home."

"That's right!" Jiang Shuwan glanced at the father and son, who were standing there dumbfounded, and urged, "What are you two standing there for? Sit down and eat!"

Lin Ye nodded quickly and patted Lin Mu on the shoulder: "Let's go, son. What are you thinking about?"

"Uh... okay." Lin Mu smiled and agreed, then looked up and met Su Nianhe's eyes.

Su Nianhe blinked at him, giving him a reassuring look.

Inside the restaurant, the four people were already seated around a round table.

Jiang Shuwan picked up a piece of grilled fish and put it into Su Nianhe's bowl, her face beaming with a smile: "Nianhe, eat more."

"Ahem." Lin Mu coughed lightly and said, "Mom, actually... Nianhe didn't have a good appetite today, which is why she hesitated when Dad invited her."

"I'm afraid that if you don't eat anything after coming here, you'll overthink things, so... please don't serve me any food."

The moment she finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Nianhe's beautiful eyes.

She hadn't expected Lin Mu to actually help her find an explanation, and when she turned her head to look at Lin Mu, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Lin Ye suddenly realized and said, "Hey! Oh, I see! It's alright, it's alright, you can eat less or not at all, don't be shy!"

Jiang Shuwan nodded quickly, then looked at Lin Mu and scolded, "You silly child, you didn't even tell me beforehand that Nianhe didn't have a good appetite!"

"If I had known, I would have cooked some porridge and made some light dishes. It was Auntie's oversight."

"No, no, no!" Su Nianhe waved her hands repeatedly, her voice soft and sweet: "Uncle and Aunt are so good to Nianhe, Nianhe is flattered and overwhelmed, this feeling is really wonderful."

Lin Mu picked up his chopsticks and reached into Su Nianhe's bowl, trying to take the fish away: "Don't eat it today, you can eat more next time."

But as soon as the chopsticks touched the fish, they were stopped by another pair of chopsticks.

He looked at Su Nianhe with a puzzled expression.

Su Nianhe looked directly into his eyes, her gaze resolute: "This was given to me by my aunt, so of course I'm going to eat it."

Lin Mu was immediately stunned, while Jiang Shuwan laughed even harder, teasing Lin Mu, "Exactly! You're even grabbing a piece of fish? Can't you just take a fresh one yourself?"

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Su Nianhe picked up a piece of fish and slowly put it into her mouth. As she chewed, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed.

She frantically encouraged herself in her mind: Swallow it! Swallow it!

Su Nianhe! You must swallow it! Don't spit it out!

Lin Mu looked even more surprised, after all, the scene of that bowl of noodles was still vivid in his mind, and he was already prepared to clean up the mess.

As expected, nothing happened. After swallowing, Su Nianhe looked up, a smile playing on her lips, and said sweetly, "Auntie, your grilled fish is delicious!"

"Next time my appetite is better, I can eat one by myself!"

"Great!" Jiang Shuwan's eyes lit up, and she asked again, "What fruit does Nianhe want to eat? Auntie will go wash it!"

Just as Su Nianhe was about to shake her head, Lin Mu spoke up first: "Mom, Nianhe doesn't have a good appetite, don't let her eat anymore."

Su Nianhe's eyes were practically overflowing with laughter, but Jiang Shuwan rested her chin on her left hand and looked at Lin Mu, her tone teasing: "I didn't realize..."

She then turned to Su Nianhe and asked curiously, "Auntie is curious, how did you two get together?"

Lin Mu and Su Nianhe were both taken aback.

Before Lin Mu could speak, Su Nianhe spoke first, her voice tinged with shyness: "Auntie, it was Nianhe who pursued Lin Mu."

She was afraid that Lin Mu, that big ice block, would start explaining all sorts of nonsense again.

Jiang Shuwan and Lin Ye exchanged a smile, and Jiang Shuwan pressed further, "So... how far have things progressed between you two?"

Lin Mu interrupted helplessly, "Mom, please eat your food."

Jiang Shuwan immediately rolled her eyes at him, and Lin Ye quickly smoothed things over, "Haha, let's eat!"

Su Nianhe's gaze remained fixed on Lin Mu's profile, a faint smile playing on her lips.

An hour later, night had fallen.

In a narrow alley near Wutong Residential Area, two figures dressed in black walked one after the other.

"Have you heard? Those people from Qing Shou Mountain... have all disappeared without a trace. They've probably been killed by Zhen E Ting." The man in black on the left spoke in a low voice, tinged with lingering fear.

The man on the right scoffed, but his tone betrayed his panic: "We're really unlucky! Being sent on this mission is practically suicide!"

"King Qing really overestimates us. Those four living Yama kings, do you think we can possibly persuade them to come?"

"Sigh..." The man on the left sighed deeply, pausing in his steps. "I thought destroying Zhen'e Court would be a piece of cake, but look what happened?"

"Zhen'e Court is doing well, but the Kingdom has been forced to move its headquarters to Ming City."

"I have a feeling that things won't go smoothly from now on."

"Don't overthink it!" The person on the right patted his companion on the shoulder, trying to bolster his courage: "We know best how powerful the kingdom is."

"Even in a head-on confrontation before the final battle, Zhen'eting is no match! We absolutely crush the number of Awakened Ones, so what exactly is the Azure King worried about?"

"But their hidden strength... shouldn't be underestimated." The man on the left said, his voice trembling. "Otherwise, why would the Azure King resort to such a desperate measure?"

Before he could finish speaking, a series of steady footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

They stopped in their tracks at the same time and turned around abruptly.
