Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 840: Chapter 850: It’s Impossible Not to Hate

Upon learning that An Ran’s adoptive parents treated her poorly, Mu Xingfeng later bought her adoption agreement for twenty million, and Old Mr. Shen was filled with endless guilt.

For twenty years, he hadn’t found this granddaughter at the first opportunity, allowing her to wander outside, enduring the disdain of her adoptive parents, and growing up knowing the world’s indifference and warmth. He felt he owed his deceased daughter and this granddaughter.

”Ran, come with Grandpa,” Old Mr. Shen said, turning around and walking into the house with faltering steps.

An Ran glanced at Mu Xingfeng, and the man reached out to hold her small hand, following behind Old Mr. Shen straight into the study.

Xia Yuzhu saw An Ran coming and followed in as well.

”Ran, I know you must be curious about what your mother was like,” said Old Mr. Shen, taking a photo album from the desk. He opened it, starting to describe each photo, many of which had yellowed with age.

On countless nights, An Ran had wondered what kind of person her mother was, whether she was like Sun Xuehui or like Aunt Xiao. No one knew, and her young heart had longed deeply for motherly love.

Now, listening to Grandpa talk about her mother, that kind and beautiful woman seemed to appear before her eyes.

After coming out of the study, An Ran had gained an understanding of her mother and father, and especially when Xia Yuzhu mentioned that her father was no longer alive, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

It’s impossible not to harbor resentment for abandoning her mother, causing her to die in childbirth.

Mu Wanxin and Shen Wenxuan went on their honeymoon. Upon hearing that An Ran had arrived, Shen Zheng and Xia Huiling returned home for lunch. After a lively family meal, An Ran and Mu Xingfeng left.

”Wife,” Mu Xingfeng suddenly spoke to An Ran, who was looking out the window.

”Hmm?” An Ran turned her head and immediately fell into a deep gaze.

Mu Xingfeng reached over, pulling the girl into his arms, gently kissing the top of her head. ”Wife, let your husband pamper you in double from now on.”

Since learning about her background, Mu Xingfeng had been particularly sensitive these days. From this moment on, her identity as an orphan and an adopted girl seemed magnified in front of him.

In truth, she had long since let go of those past events. Now that she had her own love, with Mu Xingfeng and the love of the Mu Family, she felt content.

Now, with Old Mr. Shen and the affection of the Shen family, An Ran only felt heaven hadn’t treated her badly. Apart from gratitude, she didn’t dwell on the past.

Seeing Mu Xingfeng like this, An Ran didn’t say much. Her man naturally would care for her.

She lifted her head and kissed the corner of the man’s lips, smiling. ”Thank you, husband.”

There was nothing much to do that afternoon, so An Ran arranged to meet Wang Xiaoyi.

Since the incident with Wang Xiaoyi, she and her boyfriend had come to the Imperial City and joined Chen Yankun’s company.

Knowing An Ran was in the Imperial City, Wang Xiaoyi had called her two or three times, hoping to meet and thank her in person.

At first, she was busy with Mu Wanxin’s wedding and her own engagement, and didn’t find the time. Now that everything was settled, she could meet up with her for a little gathering.

On the way to find Wang Xiaoyi, An Ran called Xiao Xiao to join her.

Before the car had even stopped, An Ran spotted Lin Junyang’s eye-catching Land Rover from afar.

”Did you invite Brother Yang?”

Earlier on the road, Mu Xingfeng had told her he needed to go to the Imperial City Command in the afternoon. Seeing Lin Junyang’s car, An Ran instinctively thought Mu Xingfeng had arranged to meet him.
