It's still uncertain who truly holds the reins in the Xu family.

Honey, why don't you entertain the guests? I'll go cook.

Ye Tong looked at Xu Mu and said.

No need. I'll do it today. You guys just chat here.

After Xu Mu finished speaking, he headed toward the kitchen.

Seeing this, Bai Yi's eyes were filled with amazement. She hadn't expected her Master to know how to cook. This man was simply too perfect.

[Favorability +10]

At that moment, the same favorability notification appeared above Ye Tong's head as well.

While Xu Mu was cooking, Ye Tong retrieved two bottles of dry red wine from a distant cabinet.

Just as the food was being prepared, Ye Yu returned home.

Looking at the crowd of people before her, she wondered if today was some special occasion.

So many people.

Ye Yu walked over.

Xiao Yu, you're back.

Ye Tong was currently sitting on the sofa, holding Meng Wanyue's hand with one hand and Dai Xingluo with the other.

Mhm.

Ye Yu nodded, then turned her gaze toward the person sitting in the corner of the sofa.

It was a young girl with twin ponytails, wearing a Lolita dress and black stockings. She sat there with perfect posture, appearing extremely nervous.

Her hands rested on her legs as she glanced left and right.

Ye Yu walked over to Bai Yi and sat down beside her. Hello, I'm Ye Yu. Xu Mu is my brother-in-law.

Hello, hello. My name is Bai Yi.

Hearing this, Bai Yi immediately greeted her.

What are you so nervous about? It's not like I'm going to eat you.

Ye Yu spoke while sizing Bai Yi up.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on the neckline of the Lolita dress.

What was with this woman?

She was clearly so skinny, yet the assets on her chest seemed a notch superior to her own.

Wouldn't that charm Xu Mu until he was dizzy?

Ye Yu knew very well that Xu Mu liked exactly this sort of thing.

Thinking of this, her eyes narrowed into slits.

She draped her arm around Bai Yi's shoulders and whispered in her ear, Do you like my brother-in-law too?

No, no.

Bai Yi immediately shook her head nervously. Boss Xu Mu is my Master. I don't have the right to like him.

What? Master?

Ye Yu instantly clenched her dainty fist. That jerk of a brother-in-law was actually into roleplay?

Especially since this Bai Yi was about the same age as her.

If he really wanted to play those kinds of games, couldn't he find her? Why did he have to go find someone else!

It was practically criminal!

Yes. He saved my life and even cured my disfigurement. My life belongs to him now.

Bai Yi said softly.

Hearing this, Ye Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed it wasn't some roleplay scenario; Xu Mu had genuinely saved her life.

No wonder Bai Yi seemed so restrained; there was a difference in their status.

Over there, Meng Wanyue and the others all liked her brother-in-law. If they successfully rose in rank in the future, they would be Xu Mu's wives.

But this Bai Yi before her seemed to be a tier lower in status.

Thinking of this, Ye Yu grabbed Bai Yi's hand. Let's exchange contact info. We can chat more in the future.

She felt this woman wasn't bad. Since they were about the same age, they should be able to get along.

Moreover, they were young. If the two of them cooperated, it was hard to say who would rule the Xu household.

Okay.

Bai Yi nodded and took out her phone.

...

After Xu Mu finished cooking, he called them over to help.

Finally, a table full of food appeared before them, a dazzling array of dishes.

Bai Yi was practically starry-eyed. Master was just too amazing.

Just looking at these delicacies, she knew they would taste incredible.

[Favorability +10]

Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo also looked at the food, and favorability points appeared.

They had eaten Xu Mu's cooking before, and the taste was absolutely superb.

[Favorability +10]

[Favorability +10]

Ye Yu went to the kitchen to get chopsticks and smiled at Xu Mu. Brother-in-law is so awesome!

[Favorability +10]

Everyone, sit down. Let's have a good meal today.

Ye Tong opened the red wine and poured a full glass for both Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo.

[Favorability +40]

Sitting there, Xu Mu looked at the favorability points above Ye Tong's head and sighed with emotion.

Too fierce.

As expected of his wife.

Sis, I want to drink too, Ye Yu said from the side.

You're just a kid, what wine? Drink your juice.

Ye Tong glanced at Ye Yu and laughed.

They all began to eat heartily. Bai Yi, who had never tasted such food before, was moved to the point of tears.

Why was her Master so all-powerful?

Above her head, favorability points popped up in rapid succession.

Ye Tong picked up her wine glass and drank with Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo.

They chatted about everything under the sun. After two bottles of red wine, the three of them were a bit out of it.

Subsequently, the topic of conversation shifted.

Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo began to talk about their sad pasts.

As they spoke, the two of them started to cry.

Xu Mu, Ye Yu, and Bai Yi listened from the side.

Bai Yi, in particular, started tearing up as well, feeling that compared to Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo, she was actually somewhat better off.

Not anymore! It won't happen again! Our husband will cherish us.

Ye Tong said to the two of them.

Holy crap! Sis, do you know what you are saying...

Before Ye Yu could finish, Xu Mu reached out to stop her.

They're drunk. Just let them be, Xu Mu said softly.

Sister! You are such a good person. I, Dai Xingluo, have never shared anything I liked with anyone since I was a child, but I'll make an exception for you!

Dai Xingluo linked arms with Ye Tong, her cheeks flushed crimson. My husband is your husband!

Meng Wanyue, meanwhile, was slumped over the table, mumbling Brother Mu over and over.

Let's go to sleep!

Ye Tong pulled Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo up, and they swayed unsteadily toward the stairs.

Seeing this, Xu Mu immediately went to lend a hand, escorting them to his bedroom.

After tossing the three of them onto the bed, Xu Mu went back downstairs.

You can't sneak in there tonight.

Ye Yu looked at Xu Mu and said.

What kind of person do you take me for? I am a dignified gentleman. Am I that sort of dirty-minded person?

Xu Mu rubbed Ye Yu's head, his face the picture of righteousness.

After the two went downstairs, Bai Yi had already started clearing the bowls and chopsticks from the table.

Brother-in-law, Bai Yi will sleep with me tonight.

After arriving downstairs, Ye Yu said with a smile, You can find a spare room to sleep in.

Xu Mu nodded gently.

After cleaning up, Ye Yu and Bai Yi went to her room together, leaving Xu Mu alone in the living room.

He used his perception to scan upstairs and found that Ye Tong and the other two were still talking nonsense.

Ye Tong, in particular, seemed to be talking a lot today, saying things like the three of them working together to conquer Xu Mu and bring him to his knees.

Xu Mu revealed a smile. Holding his phone, he quietly went upstairs.

He planned to record this so he could let Ye Tong listen to what she said tomorrow morning.

Xu Mu couldn't wait to see the look on Ye Tong's face tomorrow.

carefully entering the bedroom, Xu Mu closed the door. He turned on the recording function and approached the bed.

Hubby, you came to sleep.

Ye Tong suddenly saw Xu Mu standing before her. With eyes half-squinted, she grabbed his arm and pulled him over.

Instantly, Xu Mu felt himself being restrained by six legs.
