Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 850: Chapter 860: Traditions

An Ran knew that she would have to change the way she addressed them on the day of the engagement, and the acknowledgment red envelope was essentially a token for this change.

The engagement ceremony didn’t take place as scheduled, but today, at her elder sister’s wedding, grandpa publicly acknowledged her as the daughter-in-law of the Mu Family. Mu Xingfeng’s mother also had her change her address, naturally giving her the acknowledgment red envelope as well.

”Should I go to the old house tomorrow to kowtow and offer tea to Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom and Dad?” An Ran asked, her eyebrows arched.

At her elder sister’s engagement ceremony, she learned about the rules of the Imperial City; a new daughter-in-law must kowtow and offer tea to her in-laws.

”Kowtowing can be skipped, but as for the tea ceremony, let’s wait until you wake up in the morning to decide,”

As he spoke, Mu Xingfeng moved closer and tossed the red envelope she was holding aside.

”Honey, let’s have a baby, shall we?”

”Hmm...” The girl opened her eyes, her gaze foggy, ”Didn’t we agree to wait until I graduate?”

”But your husband can’t wait any longer and really wants to have a baby with you.”

A child of theirs, carrying both of their bloodlines, a cute baby resembling her.

The girl blinked at the man with her wide, innocent eyes; time seemed to stand still.

A moment later, the girl curled her lips into a smile, wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling them closer, and softly hummed, ”Okay.”

A child with Instructor Mu, smart and handsome like him, just imagining it melted her heart; she was willing, willing to have his child.

...

Time quickly advanced to early summer. Since returning from the Imperial City, Mu Xingfeng’s training became even more intense.

Moreover, with the annual exercises approaching, Mu Xingfeng’s visits home became infrequent.

As noon approached, the sky suddenly darkened, and shortly after, a drizzle began to fall outside the window.

An Ran sat by the window, watching the curtain of rain outside, wondering about how that guy was training in such weather.

Xiao Xiao came over, nudging An Ran’s arm, ”Thinking about Instructor Mu?”

An Ran nodded, unable to deny it, ”It’s the first time we haven’t seen each other for so long.”

Since Mu Xingfeng returned from the Imperial City, he had gone straight back to his unit, and they hadn’t seen each other for nearly a month since then. Occasionally, they exchanged messages, but it would take a long time for a reply, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes when she was in class. In short, hearing his voice was rare.

Xiao Xiao wrapped her arm around An Ran’s shoulder, with a hint of teasing, ”A married woman is quite different; who would Young Master Ran have ever missed before? Honestly, I’m jealous of you.”

With a single sentence, An Ran burst into laughter and turned to look at Xiao Xiao, ”Have you thought about Brother Yang?”

”Him?” Xiao Xiao scoffed with disdain, lifting her eyes to the rain curtain in front of the building, ”He’s nothing to me, why should I think about him?”

An Ran turned back, leaning against the windowsill, her brows slightly furrowed.

Ever since they returned from the Imperial City, Xiao Xiao had been off, whereas she used to constantly ask about Brother Yang, but now it’s been nearly a month without once bringing him up.

And on the way back, she remembered how unusually quiet they both were, with Xiao Xiao sleeping the whole way.

Originally thinking it was because they hadn’t rested well after viewing the night scenery the day before, it now seemed not so simple.

”Xiao Xiao, did you have a fight with Brother Yang?” Logically speaking, they were always bickering.

”No,” Xiao Xiao replied briskly, not turning her head.
