The next morning, warm sunlight diffused through the large transparent floor-to-ceiling window, casting a hazy shadow, and Chen Fei’s eyebrows trembled, awakening.

”Little Lazy Cat, get up, the sun’s already shining. We have to go home today.”

Chen Fei reached out and pulled the lazy Pei Wanning lying beside him into his arms, speaking softly.

”Going back? Honey, honestly, I’m a bit nervous. What if your mom doesn’t like me like in the TV shows?” Pei Wanning clung tightly to Chen Fei like an octopus, lazily.

But then, hearing Chen Fei’s words, her eyebrows twitched involuntarily, letting go of Chen Fei,

anxiously speaking.

”Having such a beautiful, stunning, and excellent daughter-in-law returning home, she would be overjoyed. She wouldn’t dislike you. You silly girl, why are you overthinking so much?”

Chen Fei gently pinched Pei Wanning’s delicate nose, then couldn’t help but feel a little cautious himself, guilty, saying, ”Honestly, I should be the nervous one. It’s been so long since I went back to see her; surely, I will get a good scolding.”

”Nonsense… You had your reasons, didn’t you? Don’t worry, I’m sure mom will understand you.”

Seeing Chen Fei genuinely nervous and a bit guilty, Pei Wanning quickly comforted him.

Homecoming nerves. At this point, no matter how impressive Chen Fei is, it’s no use.

Feeling guilty, one has to feel guilty for a bit.

”Alright, let’s get up. I’ll first take you to buy a phone, and then we’ll head back. Hmm… timing-wise, we should just make it for lunch.” Chen Fei’s guilt slightly eased, shaking his head, he said with a smile.

”Okay, hubby~ Let me dress you.” Pei Wanning blushed, speaking with a sweet nasal voice.

With a wave, Chen Fei’s clothes floated over.

”Looks like I need to dress my little precious baby? Haha, watch me…”

”Ah!” Pei Wanning couldn’t help but shyly scream, blushing,

playfully scolding, ”You rascal~”

…

Half an hour later, Chen Fei led Pei Wanning to the largest electronics mall in Northern Mountain City.

They picked out a very cute but non-childish latest sky-blue iPhone 8 Plus, and finally boarded the high-speed train to Chengyang County with jittery hearts.

Half an hour later, in front of Chen Fei’s house at a certain residential area in Chengyang County.

”Hubby, I, I’m a bit nervous.” A simple white shirt perfectly showcased Pei Wanning’s curvy figure, but now, her face was full of nervousness, speaking shakily.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei also gave a wry smile, shaking his head, ”I, I have no choice. I’m more nervous than you right now…”

Staring at the house door, Chen Fei raised his hand but hesitated to knock. Because he was nervous…

He was genuinely nervous, feeling guilty.

Then, suddenly the door opened.

Chen Fei’s mother, Lin Ling, with a basket, seemed ready to go shopping.

But she didn’t expect to find two people standing at her door, and moreover, it was the little man who had been on her mind for three years...

Lin Ling’s eyes trembled, slightly tearing up, then she frowned as if she didn’t recognize Chen Fei, coldly saying, ”Oh, who might this be… looks pretty familiar though?”

”Mom, my dear mom, please don’t. Son knows he’s wrong, terribly wrong, deserves punishment, critique… You are Guanyin reincarnated, full of compassion, so don’t hold a grudge against this clueless little kid here. Mom, your daughter-in-law is here, kindly?”

Seeing the situation, Chen Fei couldn’t help but panic… What could he do? Quickly transforming into a ’sycophant’, he began to flatter and speak eloquently, his mouth like a machine gun spouting compliments.

And in the end, he smartly used Pei Wanning as a shield.

Leaning near Lin Ling’s ear, Chen Fei whispered with a dry chuckle.

”Daughter-in-law?” Lin Ling’s eyes lit up, ears perked immediately, eyes landing on Pei Wanning beside Chen Fei, instantly showing amazement, the girl was stunning, she… she was her daughter-in-law?

”Ah, ah, hi Auntie, my name is Pei Wanning.” Feeling Lin Ling’s heated gaze, Pei Wanning never felt such pressure, blushing and stammering nervously.

”Wann Qing? Good, good, a good kid, you are truly beautiful. How did you fall for our lousy son? He has nothing to offer, only looks like that…” Lin Ling, while warmly reaching for Pei Wanning’s hands, looked at Chen Fei, disdainfully.

But her smile was the most radiant she had worn in over three years.

”Mom, how could I? I am so debonair, handsome and charming, admired by countless girls, yet you say I look just like that—it’s unjust, truly unjust…” Hearing this, Chen Fei, poor thing, felt bitter. Was this his real mom?

Did he come with the phone plan?

”Go, get along with yourself. Wann Qing, come inside with Auntie, ignore that lousy boy, let him play on his own.”

Lin Ling looked at her son with disgust, cheerfully pulling Pei Wanning inside, whispering chicly.

Despite Chen Fei’s troubled look, inwardly he sighed in relief. Watching Lin Ling and Pei Wanning’s whispering backs, Chen Fei’s eyes softened for the first time in ages…

Mom, your son’s home!

…

Lin Ling and Pei Wanning’s whispering soon echoed with Lin Ling’s uncontrollable surprise.

As she learned that Pei Wanning wasn’t from their Earth but from the Cultivation World.

And also when hearing from Pei Wanning about the numerous dangers and challenges Chen Fei faced in that Cultivation World, it was incredibly tough, how he overcame them! This made her bite her lip, clenching fists tightly…

Only then did she realize what her son had been through the past three years.

Lin Ling’s eyes couldn’t help but redden slightly.

At this moment, Chen Fei just walked in with a bowl of prepared fruit, saying, ”Mom, have some fruit.”

Tears instantly welled up in Lin Ling’s eyes, picking up an apple from the bowl, smiling through tears, saying, ”Good, good, let’s have an apple.”

”Mom, why are you crying? What’s wrong…” Chen Fei paused, feeling a bit distressed, hurriedly reaching to wipe Lin Ling’s tears.

Lin Ling avoided it, shaking her head, indicating it was fine.

Then she smiled and said, ”Alright, it’s nothing, just a bit of wind blew dust in my eyes… Today is Wan Qing’s first day here at our home, and I haven’t gone shopping, let’s go out to eat something?”

Thud thud thud…

Just at that moment, Lin Ling hadn’t finished speaking, when there was a loud knocking at the door.

”Little Lin, Little Lin, can you hear me? Today is my daughter’s big day. Come on, let’s have a meal together. My son-in-law booked fifty tables at Kanda Grand Hotel today! That’s a fortune, and such a high-end Four Star Level hotel, surely you haven’t been, right? Haha…”

That voice, not only loud but also sounding very boastful, made people frown.

Lin Ling’s face showed slight changes, helpless and speechless.
