The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 85 - 0: Grandniece Mu Bai

Because it was mentioned earlier that there would be guests coming to the house this afternoon and they needed to finish work early, the director let Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang leave at 5:00 PM.

On the way home, Mu Qiuniang stopped by to buy some vegetables.

As soon as they got home and started preparing, Mu Bai arrived at the house right behind them. She was still wearing the ancient-style robe that she often wore in the courtyard.

It was strange. She used to think the Han Robe was just a cultural heritage of Huaxia but wasn't too fond of it. Yet, after wearing it in the courtyard for some time, she unexpectedly grew attached to it and couldn't bear to take it off.

Yesterday, she received a private message from her grand-aunt inviting her to dine at the house. She had been so excited that she stayed up all night and only slept briefly when dawn broke. When she woke up, it was already afternoon, and as usual, there was a clean dress placed on the chair next to her bed. But this time, besides an ancient robe, there was also a modern long dress, similar to what she used to wear before entering the courtyard.

Without any hesitation, she picked the ancient robe.

On her way out, she worried that her phone or wallet might not be usable, thinking it was best to go empty-handed on her first visit. But unexpectedly, when she hailed a cab, she discovered she could still use them, so she quickly asked the driver to turn around and head to the market to buy some gifts.

She wasn't sure what to buy. Typically, gifts for elders would include items like jade, tea leaves, or paintings and calligraphy. However, her grand-aunt and grand-uncle were very young, not that much older than her, so she wasn't sure if they'd like those things.

Although Mu Bai had been acting for years and tended to spend freely, she still had some savings. But after buying a pair of jade pendants, she was practically broke.

Sigh... Seems like once her grand-aunt lifts her "ban," she'll need to immediately start working again.

Mu Bai made a call to her family. When her grandfather answered the phone, he didn't say much, only one sentence: "Listen to your grand-aunt properly."

At that moment, her head was filled with confusion—was that woman really her grand-aunt?!

She was way too young!

However, since her grandfather said so, it undoubtedly must be true. Her grandfather even said to ask her grand-aunt when they'd have time to visit.

Mu Bai couldn't quite imagine it: her elderly grandfather with a full white beard acting in a junior's role to request a meeting from this young woman who wasn't much older than her?

The thought felt strange.

Then, her grandfather gave her a whole list of instructions, warning that if she dared not listen to her grand-aunt, she could forget about stepping inside the Mu family home again.

Mu Bai was utterly speechless. How unruly was she for her grandfather to distrust her so much?

Besides, with how "aggressive" her grand-aunt was, she wouldn't dare disobey even if she wanted to.

Recalling the ruthless way her grand-aunt had wielded a whip on previous occasions when she didn't follow instructions, Mu Bai shivered. Whoever fell into her grand-aunt's hands would undoubtedly face reckoning. She secretly hoped their family's "Demon Lord of Mayhem" would get to experience this too someday.

The Demon Lord of Mayhem referred to her younger brother, Murong Hua. Originally, her grandfather had hoped her brother would restore the Mu family's glory, but unfortunately...

Compared to her occasional rebellious streak and minor troublemaking, her younger brother was another story—if there ever came a day when he didn't stir up chaos, it would mean the sun had risen in the west!

When Mu Bai arrived at her grand-aunt's neighborhood (which was reportedly the first home Jiang Nuo bought), she found it hard to believe. Was this really her grand-aunt's home?

Even if her grand-aunt were poor, her idol was an extremely popular A-list celebrity. How could they not even afford a modest villa and instead live in a regular neighborhood?

Although suspicious, she obediently took the elevator upstairs and rang the doorbell.

"Xiao Bai is here, go open the door," Mu Qiuniang, busy in the kitchen, instructed.

"Okay!" Jiang Nuo responded.

When the door opened, standing outside was a tall young woman dressed similarly to his wife.

"Mu Bai?" Jiang Nuo confirmed.

"Grand... Grand-uncle!" Mu Bai's eyes lit up—it was her idol opening the door himself!

Still, no matter how excited she was, she didn't dare reach out to touch her idol.

After all, he belonged to her grand-aunt. If she dared so much as lay a hand on him, knowing her grand-aunt's temperament, she might actually lose her hand.

"Nice to meet you! Please take care of me!" She quickly presented the gift box while standing at the door.

Having a grand-niece only a few years younger felt... odd for Jiang Nuo: "Child, there's no need to bring gifts when visiting. Come in, your grand-aunt is preparing dinner."

This was her idol! Her idol! After stepping inside, Mu Bai couldn't stop glancing at Jiang Nuo, almost drooling.

The top heartthrob in the entertainment industry was actually a relative of hers—this feeling was bittersweet, to say the least!

"Grand-aunt..." Mu Bai remembered to politely greet Mu Qiuniang in the kitchen.

She had figured it out: her grand-aunt wasn't that strict about minor habits, but basic etiquettes were non-negotiable. If she failed in that regard, punishment with a whip might be waiting.

"Hmm, come help out," Mu Qiuniang immediately roped her in, treating her like family as she directed her to wash vegetables.

"Yes, grand-aunt!" Mu Bai acted overly obedient in her grand-aunt's presence.

Although she wasn't much of a kitchen person, washing vegetables was no problem. The issue was her grand-uncle standing behind her—it continually tempted her to sneak glances backward. She wondered when she might ask her grand-uncle for an autograph. Imagine posting it in her social media circle—it would absolutely make her "rival sisters" jealous to death.

Speaking of those sisters—they were merely acquaintances from her social circles, nothing more than a nodding relationship. Otherwise, when she got into such trouble, why hadn't anyone called her? frёewebηovel.cѳm

This undoubtedly reflected her poor interpersonal connections—she didn't even have a single genuine friend. What a tragedy.

"Why do you keep looking at your grand-uncle?"

Mu Bai's face immediately flushed: "Grand-uncle is so handsome. I... I want to ask him for an autograph. Grand-aunt, is that okay?"

"After dinner," Mu Qiuniang replied.

"Alright!" Since her grand-aunt hadn't refused outright, it was practically a yes. Mu Bai was delighted.

After learning that her grand-aunt was Jiang Nuo's wife, Mu Bai had gone online to review heaps of articles about them. Naturally, she also watched the trending variety show, *Honey, Let's Get Married,* where countless fans praised her grand-aunt as the ultimate girlfriend material—raving about her talents and particularly her cooking, claiming it was on par with the God of Cooking.

Of course, most of those fans hadn't actually tasted her cooking but only commented based on what they saw on the show.

Although Mu Bai hadn't yet eaten Mu Qiuniang's cooking herself, she noticed many who claimed it was so delicious they could swallow their tongues—this made her full of anticipation.

However, it would've been better if her grand-aunt hadn't forced her to stir-fry some carrot shreds as practice.

Watching her grand-aunt create dishes that looked like art—vibrant, enticing, and irresistibly mouthwatering—then contrasting them with her own creation, which wasn't burnt and was edible but clearly amateurish in comparison, Mu Bai felt like crying.

Grand-aunt, couldn't you cut her some slack? She was meeting her idol for the first time—she wanted to leave a good impression on her grand-uncle!
