Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 472: Chapter 486: The Guardian

”Dad...” An Ran instinctively wanted to stop An Youcai. No matter the situation, she would never return to that house again. Why should she let An Youcai run around for her?

”Mr. An, you’d better not waste your efforts. Even if you managed to scrape together twenty million, it would all be in vain.”

A deep, sexy male voice suddenly sounded behind her. An Ran’s blood froze instantly. She turned her head with difficulty and saw the man she had been thinking about for over ten days standing not far away.

Mu Xingfeng ignored An Ran’s surprised gaze with immense willpower. He walked straight to her side, wrapped his arm around her, and looked at An Youcai with an undeniably possessive stance.

An Youcai stared at the suddenly appearing man. He stood straight and tall in his neat attire, his chiseled features exuding a steely aura. His deep eyes seemed to harbor a powerful force that couldn’t be ignored.

With his decades-long experience in the business world, An Youcai could tell that this man was not simple.

Seeing his posture next to An Ran, a competitive air instantly emanated from An Youcai. His voice deepened, ”I don’t understand what this gentleman means. An Ran is my daughter whom I’ve raised for over ten years. Not everything can be solved with money.”

”Heh,” Mu Xingfeng sneered coldly, his fierce gaze sending chills down one’s spine. ”Not solved with money? I think this is a message I should return to you, Mr. An. I am now An Ran’s guardian. An Ran is with me. To me, An Ran is not a commodity. No amount of money can let you take her away again.”

Although it was a soft sneer, it made An Youcai utterly ashamed. Not everything could be solved with money, yet his wife sold their daughter.

Looking at the man in front of him, An Youcai’s heart skipped a beat. Was it this man who gave Sun Xuehui twenty million to sever the adoption relationship with An Ran?

”An Ran, what do you think? Don’t worry. If you have any grievances, tell Dad. Don’t hold back. As long as you say the word, even if I have to lose everything, I will protect you.”

An Youcai said these words with all his strength. Yes, he had been controlled by Sun Xuehui for twenty years and owed this daughter for more than a decade. He didn’t want to make any more mistakes.

An Youcai looked at An Ran, waiting for her response.

Mu Xingfeng also turned his gaze to the woman beside him. His heart uncontrollably tensed up.

Would she go back with An Youcai? Probably, after all, she had asked for a divorce before he went on the mission. There were those unspoken words, and he had promised her freedom.

Wouldn’t this be exactly what she wanted?

The moment of silence felt like a century to the two men, even hearing each other’s breathing. Finally, An Ran spoke.

”Dad, I’ve always remembered your kindness to me. But as I’ve said, I’m willing to do this. I don’t plan to return to the An Family. He’s been very good to me. Don’t worry. After you go back, don’t quarrel with Mom because of this. Live well. Don’t let my situation hurt your relationship.”

As soon as An Ran finished speaking, An Youcai’s old tears flowed down. This daughter, after being sold by her adoptive mother, still thought of him, cared about him, and told him not to fight with his wife. He should live well.

An Youcai, oh An Youcai, what kind of virtue did you accumulate in this life to have such a considerate daughter?
