When DeWitt finished speaking these two words, Wen Jin was still in a daze, and then recalled a little, and found that he had been in this world for so long, and it seemed that he had only met DeWitt's mother once.
And the first meeting at that time was very unpleasant...
Wen Jin thought about it for a while, reached out to touch her eyes, and secretly enlarged them a little.
DeWitt, who witnessed his own fox's eyes suddenly grow bigger: ...
"Why didn't you say it in advance?" The big-eyed Wen Jin let go of the hand held by Devi, her face was a little unhappy, and her tone was full of blame.
Although the memories of his first meeting with Xiaowei's mother were not very good, it was also the future mother-in-law. At that time, everyone didn't know the ending. Although their fox family is not as particular about the human race, but the little tail is a human race. Wen Jin felt that since he was meeting his mother, he had to follow the etiquette of the human race, be more solemn and serious, and there is---
Prepare a big gift!
But now in such a hurry, where would he go to prepare the big gift? Looking at the clothes on her body and the traces under the clothes, Wen Jin became a little sluggish in an instant, thinking that this meeting was too wrong, Xiaowei's mother would definitely be upset, and she didn't even prepare a big gift, so she just Eat up the family's son and wipe it clean.
DeWitt on the other end looked at the dejected fox, a little amused by the little guy's appearance, reached out and rubbed Wen Jin's eyes, "Change back."
Wen Jin ignored him.
"Is it uncomfortable?" DeWitt said with a frown, seeing Wen Jin's eyes seemed to be supported by something invisible.
"... It's very uncomfortable." The main thing is that I feel uncomfortable. People say that first impressions are very important. Wen Jin thinks that if he continues in this state, his impression points will definitely drop to negative points. What if his mother refused to give him the little tail.
So he thought for a while, with an expression of discussing with DeWitt, "Otherwise, I will become a fox today, and come to have dinner with your mother another day?"
You have to give him time to prepare gifts, right? The marks on the body will also disappear.
Hearing this, DeWitt stopped his hands and stared at Wen Jin for a while, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of what he said. After a while, he said regretfully, "Maybe not."
"Why?"
"When you woke up, I had asked the housekeeper to prepare food." DeWitt said. He knew that the little fox would be hungry when he woke up, and he had already edited and sent the message while he was still sleeping.
Subconsciously reaching out to touch Kong Kong's belly, Wen Jin swallowed, "A lot?"
DeWitt thought about the long list of recipes and nodded.
"What I can finish, even if I turn into a fox." Wen Jin vowed, "It will never be wasted." In front of the mother-in-law, it is necessary to establish an image of a thrifty and good husband.
Seeing this, DeWitt touched his chin, "Okay."
"Really?" Wen Jin looked at him with glowing eyes, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, "...how will you introduce me to your mother then?"
Are you talking about a contract beast? Wen Jin frowned, he didn't like this title, he thought about it, and then looked excited, "Just tell her---" I'm your elder brother!
"You said that I will be yours from now on?" DeWitt looked at Wen Jin, as if he could see through his eyes, and he could see through his thoughts. In one sentence, Wen Jin was blocked directly, and he was forced to bear it. I couldn't help shaking excitedly.
"This, it's not good." At the end, Wen Jin shook her head and said with a serious expression, "It's the first time I meet my mother-in-law, no, I can't be so cowardly, in case she finds out that the fox is me in the future, she will think I'm unreliable, no Rest assured that you entrust your life to me."
DeWitt's expression changed, "Huh?"
"You can't make your eyes bigger." Wen Jin changed her eyes back as she spoke, "You might think I'm hypocritical when you see my original appearance in the future."
DeWitt held back a smile and looked at the hypocritical and unreliable fat fox talking to himself.
After a long time, Wen Jin seemed to have made up her mind, raised her head to look at DeWitt, and said seriously, "Find me some clothes."
After thinking about it, he ran to the mirror and looked at the big strawberries all over his body, and lowered his eyes, as if he was about to go to the battlefield, "I want to be able to cover my neck."
DeWitt behind him couldn't hold back anymore, the corners of his lips raised, "Of order."

Since the death of the old earl, the owner of Bertram's big manor is only Mrs. Margaret. DeWitt has been fighting outside all the year round, and he will only go home when he is in the inland, but the premise is that he is in the inland time, is on vacation.
In a situation like this one, Mrs. Margaret had long been prepared not to see DeWitt come home. So on this day, when the old housekeeper said that the young master had returned, Mrs. Margaret was drinking afternoon tea outside. Hearing this, her expression was cold, and she answered casually.
The tone was not perfunctory, and when the other maids were a little worried about whether the madam would not come back, the old butler didn't seem to have any worries at all, and sat happily in the kitchen and began to supervise the cooking.
As a result, the kitchen hadn't started working for a long time, and there was a sound of a suspension car stopping at the gate of the manor.
Mrs. Margaret got out of the car, looked around the house, and frowned slightly.
The old housekeeper came out of the kitchen as soon as he heard the voice, and went up, smiling all over his face, "I haven't come down yet."
"How long has it been?" Mrs. Margaret frowned even more when she heard this, and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, "Have you started cooking?"
"Yes, the young master sent me the menu, and it has been three hours." The old butler looked at the time, continued to laugh, and incidentally told all the information he had just collected about DeWitt.
Lady Margaret gave him a sidelong glance.
Three hours turned into nineteen hours. Mrs. Margaret only went up to take a look at the stairs, she turned around and left, went to the kitchen and told people to cook later, and then continued to invite people to drink afternoon tea.
In other words, the afternoon tea between ladies like them is also a lot of messes, especially for people of this age. Today the boss of the host family gave birth to a child, and tomorrow the youngest of the west family will get married, and then what is it here? The job changes there, the joy of appreciation and the grievance of demotion, and the daily gossip and crooked things are actually integrated, and you will find that they are roughly the same.
Mrs. Margaret is aloof, so she just sits by the side and listens with a cold face every time, just like a great empress dowager, with a deep winter version of her mother's appearance.
Her temperament must have been secretly ridiculed by many people, but it was only in secret. No one dared to say publicly that no one dared to touch a deceased husband of a meritorious earl or a marshal. My son, don’t dare to say it openly, most people have to send an invitation letter to Mrs. Margaret for any happy event, no matter what they think in their hearts, they have to smile on the surface kind.
But most of the time, Mrs. Margaret will also go, and then continue to watch the elders of other families give birth, and the elders of other families get married, and the gifts are always given well. But the words are never dull.
However, during the afternoon tea that day, the ladies who went there obviously felt something was wrong.
The cause started when a lady said that her daughter was getting married.
"How many months?" It was rare for Mrs. Margaret to ask for the first time when she heard such a topic.
The man was taken aback for a moment, then murmured the time, then paused, "Is sister free?"
Mrs. Margaret hummed, and then asked several questions in a timely manner, either asking a bunch of questions, or inserting such a sentence abruptly during the conversation, everyone who was asked was surprised and flattered, I feel as if my whole body is shining. When I answered Mrs. Margaret, I tried my best to explain it. After I finished, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
However, after the afternoon tea was over, several old and young ladies got together and thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong.
"What she asked today seems to be about... marriage?"
"She, is she going to have a second spring?"
"Bah, bah, what do you think, where is she going for a second spring, this temper can only be tolerated by the old earl---"
"...It can't be DeWitt, right? Well, you've been so busy recently, and you have time, too?"
Ladies, you look at me and I look at you. The host family discusses the west family discusses the discussion. Not long after, the news that the marshal might be getting married spread like wildfire.

Wen Jin was stiff all over, wearing a formal suit and a small scarf around her neck, which tightly surrounded her whole body. When she walked down, Mrs. Margaret was drinking tea before dinner at a table in the hall. The old butler Stand right next to her.
When seeing Wen Jin for the first time, it was obvious that the whole mansion was shocked by Wen Jin's outfit, and then looked up at Wen Jin's face, and was shocked again.
Under everyone's gaze, Wen Jin also suddenly came up with a question. He turned his neck and looked at DeWitt, who was wearing casual clothes, with his neck uncovered, directly covering the little strawberry covered by the fox, naked and frank, and then looked down at the thick and rolled up scarf around his neck several times , Wen Jin instantly felt like he was wearing the emperor's new clothes.
So he gave DeWitt a hard look, and even secretly reached out to pinch him.
At the same time, I was very anxious in my heart, thinking about what to do, this is all right, he came out in such an ugly dress just to cover the marks on his neck, and now Devitt has let his preparations fall short, the mother-in-law will definitely I thought he bought the ticket after getting on the bus, and he was responsible for eating and cleaning up.
Just when Wen Jin was so anxious that his eyes were rolling around, trying to make them bigger and more favorable from time to time, the old housekeeper in front of him was also looking at Wen Jin.
He is pretty good-looking, with a good body, and seems to have a good relationship with the young master, especially when the two of them look at each other, Wen Jin's embarrassment and Devitt's bad water are full of deep affection, As for Wen Jin, he might not be familiar with him, but he watched the young master grow up. Needless to say, that look in his eyes definitely recognized him.
But...but also a man.
The old butler's smiling face couldn't help but froze for a moment, and he lowered his head to take a careful look at his wife.
DeWitt on the other end grabbed his own fox's unruly hand, turned his head, and was about to speak to Mrs. Margaret when the latter's chilly voice came out.
"There are two good days at the end of next month."
Wen Jin:
housekeeper:
Maid:
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Margaret frowned and glanced at them, "You're all back, don't you want to get married?"
