Chapter 120 Aunt, You Are So Good to Me
The two of them spent the entire day strolling around the commercial street. Xu Wenxin treated Mu Nanyan like her own daughter, taking her to various major brand stores. Every time they entered a store, Xu Wenxin would enthusiastically choose clothes, shoes, and accessories for Mu Nanyan, and even help her match them herself.
"Yanyan, this coat suits you very well. The color complements your skin tone and the style is also generous."
Xu Wenxin held a beige cashmere coat and tried it on Mu Nanyan, her eyes full of admiration.
After Mu Nanyan tried it on, the effect was indeed outstanding. She stood in front of the mirror and smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Aunt, you have such good taste."
Xu Wenxin smiled and nodded, then turned to the clerk and said:
"Pack this one up, along with the ones I just tried on, and check them out together."
Mu Nanyan quickly waved her hands: "Aunt, there's no need to buy so many clothes. I can't wear so many clothes."
Xu Wenxin didn't care and patted the back of her hand:
"Girls, what's wrong with having more clothes? Besides, it's rare for you to come back, so of course your aunt will spoil you."
Mu Nanyan couldn't persuade her, so she had to smile helplessly, but her heart was full of warmth.
Then, Xu Wenxin took her to a jewelry store. The window displayed various exquisite jewelry, sparkling under the light. Xu Wenxin pointed to a diamond necklace and said to the clerk:
"Take this one out and have a look."
The clerk carefully took out the necklace, and Xu Wenxin took it and put it on Mu Nanyan herself. She looked at Mu Nanyan in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction:
"This necklace suits you very well, and it makes you look more elegant."
Mu Nanyan looked down at the necklace, a little hesitant:
"Aunt, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Xu Wenxin smiled and shook her head: "Silly child, this is a gift from your aunt. When you wear it, just think of your aunt being by your side."
Mu Nanyan's eyes were slightly hot, and she nodded gently: "Thank you, aunt."
…
The two of them ended their shopping trip with a sense of satisfaction as it grew dark. The driver put the shopping bags into the trunk. Mu Nanyan sat in the car, looking at the trophies piled up around her, feeling both moved and a little uneasy.
"Aunt, I'm sorry for making you spend so much money today. I really don't know how to thank you."
Mu Nanyan said softly, with a hint of apology in her tone.
Xu Wenxin smiled and patted her hands:
"Silly child, why are you being so polite to your aunt? I'm so happy that you're back. Besides, what do these things mean? As long as you're happy, I'm satisfied."
Mu Nanyan lowered her head, her eyes moist. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said softly:
"Aunt, you are so kind to me. I am really lucky to have a family like you."
Xu Wenxin gently touched her hair, her tone full of pampering:
"Yanyan, this is your home from now on. Your aunt will always be with you and will never let you suffer alone again."
Mu Nanyan nodded, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She looked at the night scene passing by outside the window, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have found her true home.
When they returned home, the lights in the Shen family's old house were still on. Shen Changfeng was playing with Chenchen in the yard. When he saw them coming back, Chenchen immediately ran over:
"Mom, aunt, you're back!"
Mu Nanyan squatted down, held Chenchen in her arms, and asked with a smile:
"Did you have fun with your uncle today?"
Chenchen nodded vigorously: "Happy! Uncle took me to see a lot of big tanks and even taught me how to shoot a gun!"
Xu Wenxin smiled and touched Chenchen's head:
"Chenchen is awesome. I'll take you out to play someday."
Shen Changfeng came over, helped take the shopping bag, and said jokingly:
"Mom, are you moving the mall back?"
Xu Wenxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why, you feel bad about buying something for your cousin?"
Shen Changfeng waved his hands quickly: "No, no, as long as you are happy."
The family entered the house laughing and joking. Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were sitting in the living room drinking tea. Seeing them come back, Mrs. Shen smiled and asked:
"How was your shopping? Are you tired?"
Mu Nanyan shook her head: "I'm not tired, my aunt took me to buy a lot of things, I feel a little embarrassed."
Mr. Shen put down his teacup and said in a gentle tone, "We are family and don't have different opinions. Your aunt loves you, so just keep it with peace of mind."
Mu Nanyan nodded, her heart filled with emotion. She looked at the familiar and warm faces in front of her, and suddenly felt that she was particularly happy.

That night, Mu Nanyan had just coaxed Chenchen to sleep and quietly closed the door of the children's room. She was about to go to the living room to get a glass of water when her cell phone suddenly rang. She quickly pressed the answer button, fearing that she would wake Chenchen.
Tang Yutong's resentful voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Yanyan, have you been having so much fun at home lately that you've completely forgotten about your work?"
Mu Nanyan chuckled and said in a low voice:
"I have you here. I just returned to the Shen family and wanted to spend more time with them. Do you have any new work recently?"
Tang Yutong sighed: "No, we are still busy with the cooperation with Dingsheng recently and haven't taken on other work yet."
Mu Nanyan walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, picked up a glass of water and took a sip:
"So what did you want to talk about when you called today? Hasn't the design collaboration with Dingsheng been finalized? I don't need to worry about anything else, right?"
Tang Yutong's tone changed, with a hint of flattery:
"It's not Dingsheng's business. I have an invitation to a banquet here, and the venue is in Haicheng. I was thinking you're in Haicheng, so why don't you take some time to attend? I really can't get away from here."
When Mu Nanyan heard this, her brows furrowed slightly and she subconsciously refused:
"What party? You know I don't like going to that kind of occasion."
Tang Yutong quickly explained, "It's a gathering of Haicheng's upper-class society. I finally managed to get an invitation. I wanted to get to know those people and expand my business. This is our business, you can't just ignore it!"
Mu Nanyan sighed helplessly, with a hint of compromise in her tone:
"Okay, I'll go. But as a deal, if you don't get any business, you can't blame me."
Tang Yutong immediately laughed, and said in a light tone:
"Don't worry, I won't blame you. I know you're not good at this, but I got this invitation through a friend. If I don't go, I'll be giving them a hard time."
Mu Nanyan rubbed her temples and felt a little headache:
"Okay, I'll go then. Please send the invitation over."
Tang Yutong replied with a smile: "OK, Yanyan, you are the best!"
Mu Nanyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. By the way, please don't accept any work for me recently. I want to rest for a while. I need to take Chenchen to find a school that suits him."
