Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 282: Chapter 295: There are Policies Above, There are Countermeasures Below

Lin Ruonan decided not to push Lin Junyang any further. She knew very well how her younger brother felt about Mu Xingfeng. This matter could only be investigated by herself.

An Ran finished tidying up and went downstairs, only to find that the Lin siblings had already left. She looked over at Mu Xingfeng, who was sitting on the sofa handling some documents, and walked over.

”Instructor Mu, actually, I think Miss Lin is really great. She has a dignified and graceful appearance, a good figure, good temperament, and I’ve heard her martial arts skills are also excellent.”

Mu Xingfeng put down the document in his hand, watched the young girl counting on her fingers one by one, and nodded: ”She is very good.”

”Then why don’t you like her?” An Ran couldn’t understand. How could he not like such a good woman, who was also his childhood friend?

”Just don’t like means don’t like. Hurry up and eat, and remember to take your medicine after eating.”

Mu Xingfeng’s face darkened, and his tone became unfriendly as he saw the young girl trying to push him towards another woman again.

An Ran pursed her lips, turned around to go to the dining table, glared at Mu Xingfeng while biting into a bun, as if she wanted to swallow him along with the bun.

Half an hour after the meal, Nanny Chen timely brought a bowl of warm, thick herbal medicine, which was... quite invigorating.

Fortunately, An Ran had already thought of a solution. She took the medicine bowl from Nanny Chen’s hands and smiled, saying, ”Thank you, Nanny Chen. I’ll drink it in my room.”

She then walked back to her room with the bowl of medicine.

Mu Xingfeng looked up at the young girl’s back, a flicker of unusual emotion in his eyes as he put down his document and walked upstairs.

An Ran returned to her room, closed the door, went directly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet above the sink, and poured all the medicine into the sink.

She watched the dark medicine liquid flow down the drain, leaving a smudge in the pristine sink, and curled her lips in disdain.

”What are you doing?”

A deep voice, carrying a cold aura, suddenly sounded from behind her. An Ran shivered in fright, and the medicine bowl in her hand slipped to the floor, shattering with a ”crack.”

Raising her head, she met Mu Xingfeng’s icy gaze.

This time, Mu Xingfeng was truly furious. Last night, when he saw An Ran obediently taking the medicine bowl back to her room, he thought the young girl had become more sensible. But unexpectedly, she had poured all the medicine away.

He knew she didn’t take care of her health, and he thought it was because she was young and didn’t know how to take care of herself. If that were the case, it was fine; if she couldn’t take care of herself, he would take care of her.

But he didn’t expect her to be so willful, refusing to take her medicine even when she was ill, preferring to pour it away.

”It’s... it’s nothing. The medicine... is too bitter, I’m just rinsing my mouth,” An Ran said with difficulty. Honestly, although she had spent so much time with Mu Xingfeng, and he had meticulously cared for her, even indulged her in anything she wanted to do, a part of her heart still held deep fear towards Mu Xingfeng. No help for it; Instructor Mu’s cold and forbidding demeanor when he was stern was really frightening. That icy aura could practically freeze someone to death.

During military training back then, the whole class of girls admired and adored Mu Xingfeng, but none of them dared to disobey him. One command from him, one cold shout, and everyone behaved like docile grandchildren. Even a rich young lady like Guo Xinyi didn’t dare to act out under Mu Xingfeng’s supervision.

Now, having been caught doing something wrong, An Ran instinctively wanted to escape, but where could she run in Mu Xingfeng’s house?

”An Ran, do you think I will believe that excuse?” Mu Xingfeng looked at An Ran, his cold gaze seemingly penetrating her. After a moment, he said with a trace of exhaustion, ”If you think my concern is a burden to you, then I can stop caring for you in the future.”
