Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 395: Chapter 408: Apologizing to An Ran (2)

Although she had mentally prepared herself for it, Lin Ruonan still felt a pang in her heart when she saw Mu Xingfeng and An Ran coming out of the same room one after the other.

Mu Xingfeng was still the same, even his attire was meticulously neat like his personality. Even at home, his shirt was buttoned up perfectly, and his trousers were straight, making his whole persona seem abstinent and cold.

But one of his arms was wrapped around the girl beside him, an absolute protective stance.

And the girl beside him wore a burgundy woolen dress, her long black hair casually falling over her shoulders, leaning into him naturally like a delicate bird, making them look... well-matched.

They owned each other and must feel very happy together.

Not waiting for Gu Haoyu to respond, Lin Ruonan quickly stood up to greet them, ”Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law.”

An Ran hesitated and turned to look at Mu Xingfeng.

Although she heard Gu Haoyu mention that he would bring Lin Ruonan to apologize to her last night, she never expected it to happen so eagerly this morning. And Lin Ruonan’s address really took her by surprise.

Mu Xingfeng raised his eyebrows, evidently not expecting Lin Ruonan to address him like this either, but this address pleased him, especially the ”Second Sister-in-law” part.

Mu Xingfeng pulled An Ran over and nodded to Lin Ruonan, ”Good morning.”

”Come over and sit,” Gu Haoyu said, pulling Lin Ruonan to sit next to him.

Lin Ruonan, caught off guard, leaned directly into Gu Haoyu’s embrace, then swiftly jumped away as if electrocuted, ”I’m sorry... Brother.”

The embarrassed expression made her look nothing like her usual grandeur, more like a child who made a mistake.

An Ran blinked at Mu Xingfeng and whispered, ”This must be a fake Lin Ruonan.”

Mu Xingfeng gently stroked her long hair, showing that An Ran’s calmness in dealing with Lin Ruonan indicated she was no longer upset about yesterday’s incident.

”You two come over as well, Ruonan has something to say to An Ran,” Gu Haoyu waved to the pair.

After they sat down, Lin Ruonan felt even more flustered, with three pairs of eyes fixed on her, and two of those gazes were particularly imposing. Her mental resilience indeed had its limits, okay?

Lin Ruonan suddenly felt that giving a political report at the All-Army conference wasn’t even this nerve-wracking.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Ruonan bit her lip. She’d already called them Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, what else couldn’t she get past?

”Sorry, Second Sister-in-law, yesterday’s incident was my mishandling of my emotions, causing Grandpa to misunderstand and do something that hurt you. If there’s anything I can do to make amends, I can do anything you want. I hope you can forgive me.”

Lin Ruonan’s voice grew quieter as she spoke, feeling more and more guilty and remorseful, finally lowering her head, ready to accept any punishment.

An Ran looked at the cold and proud Lin Ruonan in this state and genuinely didn’t feel an ounce of resentment.

Is it wrong to love someone? Not to mention someone as outstanding as Instructor Mu. Even she, having known him for only a few months, had unconsciously fallen in love with him.

How many twenty years does a person have? Lin Ruonan had deeply loved Mu Xingfeng for these past twenty years. If not for Mu Xingfeng’s lack of interest, she’d truly feel guilty for having hurt such a woman.

And all she did was confine her, not actually harm her, because yesterday’s unscrupulous entry into the Lin Family as Mu Xingfeng’s girlfriend had triggered her too much.
