Homecoming.
This was An Nuannuan’s first time at this place, the home where she would live for a very long time, belonging to the two of them.
Xu Musen handed her the key.
"Welcome home, my little mistress."
There must always be a sense of ceremony for the first homecoming.
An Nuannuan held the key in her hand, feeling as though it made her a part of this home.
Her eyes trembled with emotion; she had waited so long for this moment, her heart seemed to beat faster.
She looked at Xu Musen’s smile and slowly lowered her head to gently insert the key.
"Ka-cha..."
The door opened slowly, the room was pitch-dark, and the next second, the light turned on.
"Bang bang!"
"Sister!"
As the lights came on, An Nannan with a party popper in hand, let out a ’bang’, and shiny colored confetti floated down.
"You’re back."
Grandpa and Grandma also arrived at the doorway at this moment, nodding at their granddaughter and Xu Musen.

The room, although not as luxurious and spacious as a mansion, was exceptionally cozy.
"Grandpa, Grandma…"
An Nuannuan hadn’t expected her grandparents would really come; after all, their willingness to come for a meal signified their tacit approval of her living here in the future.
Grandpa’s gaze was complex as he looked at Xu Musen, as if to say, you young rascal better not mistreat Nuannuan, I now know where you live!
Grandma then went over to pat Nuannuan on the head: "Let’s get ready for dinner, it’s a good day today."
To Grandma, a house was nothing special, but deep down, Chinese people have a deep attachment to their land and home.
Having their own little home, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, always felt more secure.
In the end, what elders of the world wish for is just one thing: for their children to live better. If there are the means, then let them live their way.
"Sister! This is the gift I brought for you!"
An Nannan took out a small wooden sword, not particularly exquisite, but made with care.
"This is…"
"Humph, this is the peach wood sword I carved by hand! Hang it in the room and it will ward off demons and evil spirits; no little goblins can get in!"
An Nannan said proudly.
Xu Musen listened, wondering what she meant by that, suspecting the little girl was implying something.
It must be the result of surfing the internet too much!
"Silly child, what use is a small wooden sword."
Grandpa spoke up at this moment, pointing at the beautifully made cleaver with a stand in the kitchen.
Just looking at it… it seemed a bit like a guillotine knife?
Grandpa patted Xu Musen on the shoulder, looking kindly: "This knife was made especially for you, it’ll save effort when you and Nuannuan want to make some rib soup or something, it’s what they call leverage. When Justice Bao executed Chen Shimei in anger, he used a knife like this, chopping with precision every time!"
Xu Musen: ...
Why did he always feel like the gifts from An Nan and Grandpa were specially prepared for the two of them?
"Ahem, thank you, Grandpa."
Xu Musen also showed a very happy expression and thanked him profusely.
"Alright, alright, you two and your daily sword and stick dance."
Grandma now came out smiling and called everyone to take their seats.
Xu Musen had prepared the meal in advance, and Aunt Xiang had also cooked a few dishes.
This meal signified their approval.
The old man kept pouring alcohol for Xu Musen, thinking that a man wouldn’t have the energy for anything else after drinking, but obviously, Xu Musen’s constitution after his rebirth was no longer ordinary.
The old man who was experienced in drinking couldn’t hold his liquor and ended up dizzy.
"You bought a house here, does your family know?"
Grandma suddenly asked.
Xu Musen shook his head and laughed: "I haven’t had the chance to tell them. I was worried about adding pressure on them if they knew about the loan for the house, so I plan to tell them in a few days."
His parents had endured many hard days in the past.
Even though Xu Musen could earn money now, they were still frugal, saving money for Xu Musen’s future needs.
This time when they drove home, they were considering saving some money to maintain his car and leave some cash for refueling.
If they knew their son had taken out a loan of millions to buy a house in the precious land of Huhai, they probably couldn’t sleep.
Xu Musen planned to tell his parents when there were a few extra million in his account, at least so they wouldn’t worry about the loan.
Grandma, worldly-wise, nodded with understanding: "A parent’s heart is always worried; you’ve done well. Life will get better and better, and when you can, you should invite your parents over to stay for a while, so you and Nuannuan can have meals with them."
Xu Musen understood Grandma’s intent.
She wanted Xu Musen’s family to know that their son was preparing to live with Nuannuan.
It was also a sign of respect for their children.
"I will. My parents want to meet Nuannuan too."
Xu Musen smiled at An Nuannuan.
"Yeah..."
Her cheeks were rosy, but the thrill of a young girl was unmistakable.
It felt like they were discussing marriage.

Although they were far from actually tying the knot, the warm atmosphere felt as if they were truly one family.
