Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 599: Chapter 612: Adapting to the Situation

Mu Xingfeng was chatting with An Ran as they walked, and they soon ran into Sister-in-law Sun just before reaching the family building.

Today, Sister-in-law Sun was wearing a bright red mohair sweater, a black wool skirt, and nearly ten-centimeter high leather boots, making her look even more imposing and full of spirit.

An Ran couldn’t quite understand Sister-in-law Sun’s fashion sense. Could it be that all the green uniforms in the Guard Team had given her visual fatigue, making this red especially appealing to her?

”Captain Mu, did you just get back? I saw you coming from the infirmary, what happened? Is your wife sick?” Sister-in-law Sun called out from afar upon seeing Mu Xingfeng and An Ran.

An Ran really didn’t like Sister-in-law Sun; she could tell from her eyes how fake this woman’s smile was.

And that greeting, was that how one should greet someone?

Mu Xingfeng didn’t plan to respond, but the sister-in-law next to Sun, dressed in an off-white wool coat with short hair, spoke up, ”Lifang, what kind of way is that to talk?”

She then looked at An Ran, her face also holding a gentle smile, ”This must be Captain Mu’s wife, right? I heard you arrived yesterday, but it was already too late to come by then. Look at this girl, she’s really beautiful, truly lovely, and she fits perfectly with our Captain Mu.”

Mu Xingfeng nodded and introduced, pulling An Ran closer, ”Ranran, this is Sister-in-law Song. Sister-in-law Song, this is my wife, An Ran.”

Since Mu Xingfeng took the initiative to introduce them, An Ran naturally knew how to conduct herself. She nodded at Sister-in-law Song and sweetly greeted, ”Hello, Sister-in-law Song.”

”Hello there, I live in Building 8, Room 202. If you need anything in the Guard Team and Xingfeng is not home, you can come find me. Even if you just want to hang out, you’re welcome,” Sister-in-law Song said warmly.

An Ran responded, ”Got it, Sister-in-law Song.”

”Sister-in-law Song, we’re heading back now.”

Mu Xingfeng was never one to be chatty. Before he met An Ran, his conversations with people were limited to a few polite exchanges and a simple Q&A format.

After greeting Sister-in-law Song, Mu Xingfeng took An Ran home.

Sister-in-law Sun watched the three of them interact harmoniously and grumbled to herself: Yesterday, these two didn’t treat her like this at all. Today, they are eager to introduce themselves just because Sister-in-law Song’s husband is a Chief Guard.

Normally, Captain Mu seems quiet and unassuming, but turns out he’s also skilled at riding the waves of favor.

”Xingfeng’s little wife is really appealing. With Xingfeng’s cold personality, he needed someone like her,” Sister-in-law Song sighed as she watched the two walk away hand in hand.

”Sister-in-law Song, are they really married?”

Sister-in-law Song glanced at Sun Lifang. Although she knew Sun Lifang’s personality, her question still rubbed her the wrong way. And it would be even worse for the involved parties.

”Lifang, what do you mean by that? Didn’t Captain Mu just say that she’s his wife? How could it be false? As fellow family members of the Guard Team, we should be united and supportive, especially since Captain Mu’s wife is young. We ought to help more and show our grace as Guard Team family members.”

Sun Lifang disagreed and pursed her lips, ”Sister-in-law Song, you’re so easily fooled. Do you believe whatever Captain Mu says? Just because he says she’s his wife, does that mean they’re married? Why didn’t we hear any news about his wedding? Didn’t he sustain severe injuries while on a mission just before the New Year? How could he bring a wife back soon after the New Year? Before this, I never heard about Captain Mu having a girlfriend. He’s from a big city; do big cities also practice arranged marriages? How could he manage to get married so quickly after just one trip home?”

She truly didn’t believe it. What era was this? Even people in her hometown didn’t practice arranged marriages anymore, let alone city folks.

”Lifang, why do you care so much about other people’s business? Use that time to take better care of your husband and kids,” Sister-in-law Song said, seeing Sun Lifang’s stubborn look and not wanting to argue further. She walked briskly home.
