Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 396: Chapter 409: Feeling of Being Abandoned

Thinking of this, An Ran actually felt a bit of sympathy for Lin Ruonan, hoping she could soon recognize Brother’s goodness and be good with him.

”Miss Lin, this matter is in the past, let’s not bring it up again. Besides, I also have parts where I didn’t handle it well,” An Ran said sincerely.

”No, no, it was my fault. I was too stubborn before. I apologize not just for yesterday, but for everything in the past as well. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”

After all, she had been brought up in comfort, excelling in everything all her life, and was usually quite proud. This was probably her first time bowing to someone and saying such words, so Lin Ruonan appeared a bit lost.

”Of course not,” Actually, you’re really not at fault. If you knew the truth, you might even end up hating me.

An Ran didn’t know what else to say and looked to Mu Xingfeng for help.

Mu Xingfeng, of course, knew what was going on in this girl’s mind, but to avoid such a situation, he would never let it become a reality.

There could only be one truth, and that is An Ran becoming his legitimate girlfriend, and lawful wife.

”Alright, Brother, Ruonan, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s eat together,” Mu Xingfeng invited.

Gu Haoyu nodded, ”Alright.”

”Huh? We’re eating together?” Lin Ruonan said. She had thought that after apologizing, she could go home. She promised that after returning, she would ask her father to transfer her back to the Imperial City.

She didn’t expect to have dinner with Mu Xingfeng.

”Miss Lin, you wouldn’t be unwilling to eat with me, would you?” An Ran teased, looking at Lin Ruonan.

”Of course not,” Lin Ruonan replied.

”Then let’s eat together. After this meal, all grievances between Miss Lin and I will be written off.” Saying this, An Ran stepped forward and took Lin Ruonan’s hand.

To be honest, Lin Ruonan wasn’t an annoying woman. On the contrary, she was someone who loved and hated boldly, was upright, and only recently did An Ran find that she had a bit of adorableness about her. It was just that she used to always have a cold demeanor, so An Ran never noticed before.

Lin Ruonan was stunned, completely unexpected that the matter would pass just like that. Looking into An Ran’s clear eyes, she felt a bit moved. No wonder such a girl could attract his gaze.

In their line of work, they’d seen much of society’s darkness and the ugly side of human nature. Yet the girl in front of him was so pure and innocent, those clear eyes untainted by any impurities, making one want to protect her.

”Okay,” Lin Ruonan extended her hand, ”from now on, just call me Ruonan, no need for Miss Lin.”

Watching the two women walk hand in hand towards the dining table, the two men behind them exchanged a look, both feeling a bit sour inside.

Was this a sudden feeling of being abandoned?

After dinner, seeing the two off, An Ran watched the distant Maybach and sighed lightly.

”What’s wrong?” Mu Xingfeng rubbed her little head, frowning as he noticed her mood was low.

Could it be that this girl really didn’t want to forgive the Lin Family?

”Instructor Mu, I feel more and more like I’m committing a sin,” An Ran sighed again.

”Hmm?” Mu Xingfeng was puzzled.

”Lin Ruonan is such a good person, so persistent in love, she has loved you for twenty years. How can you bear to let her down?” After saying this, An Ran glared at the man in front of her, her sorrowful gaze like she was looking at a heartbreaker.

Mu Xingfeng was amused by her expression, ”What else can I do besides let her down? Marry her? But I don’t love her.”
