Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 733: Chapter 746: It’s Good to Be Alive

You know, back at the market, he not only accompanied this woman to buy vegetables and fruits but also bought her a serving of fried stinky tofu.

The smell of that tofu alone made him want to vomit, let alone eat it. Yet, seeing the woman drooling over it, he still bought her a portion. He endured the stinky smell all the way home, but she still wouldn’t agree to make Spicy Crayfish for him. She’s such an ingrate.

Xiao Xiao stopped laughing and placed the crayfish in clean water. She picked up a writhing crayfish and said to Lin Junyang, ”I laugh at you being silly. Sister Su just arrived today, and you already want her to mess up. There’s no way she’d agree to that. Isn’t it just that you want to eat Spicy Crayfish? I’ll make it for you, sister.”

After saying that, she giggled again.

”You’re trying to take advantage of me,” Lin Junyang said, stepping forward.

Xiao Xiao quickly held up the crayfish to fend him off, ”Do you want to eat Spicy Crayfish or not?”

Looking at the struggling crayfish, Lin Junyang suddenly imagined its delightful scene mixed with chili. He eventually gave up his dignity, ”Hmph, I’ll let you off this time.”

With Su Jin’s help, a table full of dishes was prepared quickly, with various flavors and a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

Lin Junyang rubbed his hands, looking at the big plate of Spicy Crayfish, ”Second Brother, should we drink a little? To celebrate Second Sister-in-law’s escape from danger and to celebrate your new home.”

”That’s a good idea, a very good idea. Welcome Su Jin,” An Ran said, clapping her hands.

Just after meeting Su Jin, An Ran already liked this woman. Su Jin had this strength, this resilience that An Ran had always admired and longed for—the spirit of not bowing down to life even in adversity, something An Ran had desired but failed to achieve.

Su Jin’s experience made An Ran see the reflection of her own life in the An Family. Both were rejected by their families, but Su Jin lived as her true self, while An Ran was constrained by her adoptive mother and unrelated sister. She had thought of resisting, but whenever the fifteen years of upbringing were mentioned, it was like a giant hand gripping her throat, making it impossible to ignore.

Countless nights, she drifted along, muddle-headed, through fifteen years with the An Family.

Luckily, she met Mu Xingfeng, and now Su Jin.

Mu Xingfeng freed her from the shackles of her life, while Su Jin liberated her from the mental chains.

”Don’t mess around; your body is still weak, you can’t drink,” Mu Xingfeng held her hands and led her to the dining table.

”I won’t drink, I’ll watch you guys drink. Mu Xingfeng, it’s rare to have so many people here and be so happy. You all should drink a little. With such good food and such a great atmosphere, it’d be a waste not to have wine to liven things up. Besides, my body is really fine now,” An Ran knew Mu Xingfeng was always worried about her health, fearing that too much excitement would be unbearable for her. But she knew herself well; aside from occasionally feeling a bit dizzy, she had no other discomfort.

Moreover, she was genuinely happy. As the saying goes, surviving great disasters means great fortune ahead. She felt she was truly blessed, looking at the man who loved her as his life, seeing Xiao Xiao’s happy, smiling face, watching Lin Junyang and Xiao Xiao bickering. She truly felt that life was wonderful.

”Second Sister-in-law has spoken, so that’s good enough. I’ll get the wine,” Lin Junyang rushed to the wine cabinet before Mu Xingfeng could respond.

In this house now, whoever has the final say, Lin Junyang already knew.

”Let’s have wine to liven things up,” Mu Xingfeng suddenly whispered in An Ran’s ear, ”Honey, what kind of excitement do you want? Though your husband misses you, your body really isn’t suitable right now.”
