Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 691: Chapter 704: Sharing a Table

Jia Chenggang felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, but he understood that Hairong was indeed somewhat resistant to him. He finally chuckled, ”Rong has a big heart; I haven’t spent much time with him. You need to speak up for me more in front of him. But about the school thing, if we can’t get his residency sorted, he might not be able to attend the Guard Team’s school.”

”Why not? Haigang was also a member of the Guard Team and sacrificed his life for the country. Why can’t his son attend the Guard Team’s school?” Wang Xia’s voice was urgent but she tried to keep it low.

Jia Chenggang sighed helplessly, ”Wang Xia, the schools within the Guard Team only take in the children of current officers. This...”

”Chenggang, you have a way, don’t you?” Wang Xia took a step forward and gently leaned on Jia Chenggang’s shoulder.

Jia Chenggang’s body stiffened at the sudden closeness, not daring to move. His heart beat like a drum and his breath quickened, ”Wang... Wang Xia, let me think of a way.”

With that, he pulled away, turned, and left.

...

On Friday afternoon, after a week of waiting, An Ran received a text from Mu Xingfeng: ”On a mission, don’t worry.”

Those hastily written five words indicated an urgent task.

An Ran thought for a moment and replied: ”Stay safe, waiting for you.”

After sending it, she waited a while but didn’t receive a reply, knowing he had probably left.

”Hey, babe, what are you daydreaming about? At this time, shouldn’t you be running out of class and throwing yourself into Instructor Mu’s arms?” Xiao Xiao, who had finished packing her bag, walked over when she saw An Ran was still motionless.

An Ran pouted and put down her phone, ”He went on a mission, so I’m yours this weekend. Let’s go, I’m ready.”

”Damn,” Xiao Xiao jumped back, ”I’m still a virgin, do you really have the heart to ruin me like this?”

An Ran reached out and stroked Xiao Xiao’s smooth little face, teasing her like a rogue, ”Let’s go, I’ll treat you to hotpot.”

Only a good feast could soothe her disappointment at this moment.

The two of them went to a nearby self-service hotpot restaurant. It was close to the school and reasonably priced, making it very popular among the students.

Being the weekend, the place was even more crowded.

When An Ran and Xiao Xiao arrived, most of the seats were already taken. They finally found a single empty table to sit down.

”Ranran, hold our spot; I’ll go get some food.” Xiao Xiao put down her bag and headed to the food section.

An Ran asked the server to start the pot and prepare the base, then watched Xiao Xiao busily running back and forth like a hardworking little bee.

She enjoyed having self-service meals with Xiao Xiao, as their tastes were similar. The food Xiao Xiao picked was also what she liked. The biggest advantage was that despite Xiao Xiao’s delicate appearance, she had a huge appetite.

With her there, An Ran never worried about getting too much food and not finishing it. Even if they were both full, Xiao Xiao could still gobble down another whole bowl of food.

”Hey, An Ran, you’re here for hotpot too?”

At the sound of the voice, Zhu Pengfei, holding Shen Qi’s hand, appeared before An Ran.

Shen Qi hadn’t expected to see An Ran there and tried to withdraw her hand, but Zhu Pengfei held onto it tightly.

Seeing Shen Qi’s blushing face and Zhu Pengfei’s beaming smile, a hint of amusement flashed in An Ran’s eyes.

Spring had indeed arrived.

”I’m here with Xiao Xiao. Did you guys just get here?”

”Yeah, didn’t expect it to be so crowded today. Are you two alone? Do you mind sharing the table?” Zhu Pengfei’s straightforward nature shone through. He had admired An Ran ever since he learned she was commended for her bravery early in the semester.

An Ran had a good impression of him too.
