Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 657: Chapter 670 Tian Zhiyuan

On Monday, a new round of training was to take place. Mu Xingfeng returned to the Guard Team on Sunday afternoon, and An Ran also went back to school.

Now, on every rest day, An Ran would return to Longteng Xinyuan. As Xiao Xiao said, she truly prioritized love over friendship.

It was rare for An Ran to come back this early, so Xiao Xiao pulled her out of the dormitory, insisting they go out to eat luosifen.

Just as the two stepped out of the school gate, a taxi drove up from the opposite side, bypassing them before stopping at the school’s entrance.

The front passenger door opened, and Wang Xiaoyi got out, seemingly not noticing An Ran and Xiao Xiao, heading straight to the trunk to get her things.

Next, the rear door opened, and Wang Xiaoyi’s boyfriend hurriedly stepped out, grabbing her hand, ”Xiaoyi, please stop making a fuss and come back with me, okay? I said I would support you. All you need to do is focus on your studies.”

Wang Xiaoyi struggled but couldn’t free herself from his grasp. She looked up at him, ”Tian Zhiyuan, you keep saying you’ll support me, but what can you offer? What you earn isn’t even enough to cover my tuition. Since you don’t want me to work at that place and think I embarrass you by selling drinks at the bar, then let’s just end this. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”

”Xiaoyi, it’s for your own good. It’s too dangerous for a girl to work in a place like that,” Tian Zhiyuan pleaded, ”Xiaoyi, I’ll find another job, and we’ll live more frugally to save enough for your tuition.”

”Enough, stop it. I know you came all the way to Nan’an to make me quit this job. I’ve made it clear that it’s impossible. If you can’t accept what I do, then let’s take some time apart.”

With that, Wang Xiaoyi grabbed her suitcase and walked toward the gate.

Tian Zhiyuan raised his arm as if to stop her, but eventually let it fall, his eyes reddening with emotion.

As he turned around, he saw An Ran and Xiao Xiao. Despite the awkwardness, he managed a strained smile and approached them.

”You must be Xiaoyi’s classmates, right? I saw you when I came to pick Xiaoyi up last time.”

An Ran nodded, glancing in the direction where Wang Xiaoyi had disappeared, unsure why this man was striking up a conversation with them.

The man spoke again, ”I’m Tian Zhiyuan. Could I treat you both to a meal?”

He asked cautiously, afraid his request might offend them, his gaze carrying a hint of pleading.

Xiao Xiao tugged on An Ran’s sleeve from behind, signaling for her to refuse.

But as An Ran met his eyes, she agreed, ”We were just about to go eat luosifen; you can join us.”

She wasn’t one to meddle in others’ affairs, but Wang Xiaoyi had always been good to her. Back when she was short on cash, Wang Xiaoyi helped her find work.

She admitted that working at the bar wasn’t respectable, but it paid well and was a big help to her back then.

Even though many things happened later at the bar, none of them were directly related to Wang Xiaoyi. And it was precisely because of this job that she got the chance to continue studying at Nan University.

Otherwise, faced with the high tuition fees of Nan University and the cost of living in Nan’an, she would have likely dropped out long ago.

She had only met Wang Xiaoyi’s boyfriend once, but she could tell he was an honest man who genuinely cared for Wang Xiaoyi.

He didn’t want Wang Xiaoyi working in a bar for her own good.

It wasn’t her business, but when she saw the pleading look in his eyes, her heart softened.
