"The special effects are good, and when you add in the female leads acting in their true colors, even though the acting is a bit off, it’s very realistic, just like the real thing. Excellent, definitely a big hit. Plus, with the promotion under the name Hell, damn, it’s bound to be a global sensation," Mu Chen said seriously.
"Honey, are you sure?" The ladies were somewhat skeptical.
"But with this, we’re still missing one indispensable person," Mu Chen said seriously.
"Catherine, the international goddess and pop star, with that fame, it would be hard not to be a hit," Mu Chen said seriously.
"It seems so!" The ladies nodded, wondering why they hadn’t thought of inviting Catherine.
"But husband, if there are nine women, does that mean one person has to drop out?" the women asked.
"It’s about adding a person."
"Husband, are you planning to add more to the plot again?" the women said helplessly.
"Yep! You know, people like Liu Yuxi, Qin Xueqi, and others will also join."
"How can we add them?" The women were curious.
"You’ll just run into Catherine, who has been bewitched, on your way and then save her. That’ll do."
"Is this still the ’Legend of the Nine Goddesses’?"
"Hehe, it’s just a name, not important."
"This..." The women were helplessly resigned.
"Alright, enough discussion, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. Today, everyone’s going to one place, the place where I’ve lived since I was little, to visit Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang. It’s also about time to meet the parents," Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Meet the parents? Honey, you mean your foster parents?" Su Fei asked.
"You could say that!"
"Why didn’t you tell us earlier? We didn’t even prepare any gifts!" the women said somewhat helplessly.
"It’s 2:30 now. Come back to the villa in an hour," Mu Chen said and then disappeared with a wink.
"That damn rascal," the women said and immediately left as well.
Everyone from Hell was quite relaxed, heading straight to the bar street to drink and flirt.
After leaving, Mu Chen first went to pick up Yaya from her elementary school, even though it wasn’t time for school to be over yet, but there was no helping it.
Not wanting to cause any trouble, Mu Chen directly contacted the principal, who, upon hearing Mu Chen’s voice, immediately brought Yaya out to him, being extremely respectful all the way.
Mu Chen did not stay for long and quickly left with Yaya.
"Daddy, where are we going?" Yaya asked, eating her candy.
"To see Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang."
"They’re sort of like your dad’s parents."
"So they’re my grandparents?"
"That’s one way to put it," Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Yay, Yaya has grandparents too!" Yaya said excitedly.
Mu Chen laughed heartily.
And so, they quickly returned to the villa. Except for Xue Jinxuan and Qin Xueqi, the other women were not there.
"That damn rascal," Xue Jinxuan pouted upon seeing Mu Chen.
"Wife, what’s wrong, the punishment wasn’t enough?" Mu Chen asked, pinching Xue Jinxuan’s chin with an evil smirk.
"Daddy is teasing Mommy," Yaya said seriously, sitting on Mu Chen’s shoulder.
"Enough, hubby, you’re so powerful," Xue Jinxuan instantly cowered.
"That’s more like it," Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Husband, I missed you," unlike Xue Jinxuan, Qin Xueqi, excited, threw herself into Mu Chen’s arms upon seeing him.
"I know, baby, I know you missed me," Mu Chen said with a smile, taking the opportunity to get frisky with Qin Xueqi.
"Yaya, go get your ice cream from the fridge. Daddy has something to do," Mu Chen said, setting Yaya down.
"You rascal, what do you think you’re doing?" Qin Xueqi’s expression changed as she noticed Mu Chen’s mischievous grin.
"Of course, to be affectionate with Mrs. Wang," Mu Chen said, picking up Qin Xueqi.
"Let me down, you scoundrel, and you can do whatever you want with me tonight," Qin Xueqi blurted out immediately.
"Really?" Mu Chen hesitated, but the thought of having his way sparked some wicked ideas.
"That’s more like it."
Subsequently, Mu Chen didn’t say much more, just lit up a cigarette, Yaya enjoyed her ice cream, and the two women started chatting with each other.
Then Shui Linglong and Ye Xian’er arrived, followed by all the other women, one after the other, each carrying loads of things, exotic delicacies, and all sorts of tonics. There was no helping it; seeing the parents always required bringing some offerings.
"Let’s go!" Mu Chen, holding Yaya, drove off.
The other women did the same, each driving away.
Soon, they all arrived at Uncle Wang’s place, where luxury cars and beautiful women suddenly appeared, astonishing countless people in the vicinity.
For a moment, many people wondered if Uncle Wang had encountered some august figure.
Mu Chen held Yaya and, followed by a group of women, entered the house. Fortunately, the yard was spacious; otherwise, it would have been crowded.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things?" Wang Long was astonished to see Mu Chen and the women.
"It’s like enough people for a class," Wang Lihua remarked in surprise.
"Are all these women with Brother Mu Chen? They’re so pretty!" Wang Yuxuan and Duan Shiqi exclaimed in shock upon seeing the women.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang," greeted the women upon seeing the couple, each speaking in a well-behaved manner.
"Wow, wow, wow, are you all Mu Chen’s women?" Wang Long asked.
"Mhmm," the women nodded.
"Alright then," Wang Long sighed.
"What a cute little girl, Mu Chen, is she your daughter?" Aunt Wang asked as she noticed Yaya, speaking earnestly.
"Indeed, but she’s not my own," Mu Chen replied with a smile.
"I thought she was your biological child," Aunt Wang said, a bit disappointed.
"Grandma," Yaya said sweetly.
"Such a good girl," Aunt Wang instantly brightened up and picked up Yaya.
"Alright, don’t just stand there, come in and sit! Your Aunt Wang and I will go prepare dinner," Wang Long said happily as he headed towards the kitchen.
"We’ll help too," all the women said obligingly.
Soon after, the group of women went to the kitchen to cook alongside Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang.
Though startled, the couple had seen the world; as long as Mu Chen was safe and sound, that was enough for them. How many women he was with was his own matter.
Mu Chen, who was bored, lit up another cigarette.
"Brother Mu Chen," Wang Yuxuan said earnestly.
"We have something to tell you."
"Go ahead," Mu Chen replied seriously.
"Let’s talk in my room."
"Alright," Mu Chen nodded and followed Wang Yuxuan.
Wang Yuxuan’s room wasn’t large and had a girlish air. It was decorated with various high school basketball photos of Mu Chen, giving it youthful vibes.
"What’s up?" Mu Chen asked as soon as he entered.
Without another word, Wang Yuxuan threw her arms around Mu Chen.
"Yuxuan, what are you doing?" Mu Chen instantly said.
"I’ve liked Brother Mu Chen for a very long time."
"Then why didn’t you take me?"
"Even though I’m a scoundrel, I can’t lay a hand on my own sister."
"We’re not related by blood."
"Don’t you understand? With so many women? Even if you end up with someone else named Wang, I can’t give you what you want."
