Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 959: Chapter 969: Even the Eighteen Tortures Are Nothing Compared to This

”Grumble, grumble,” the sound from her stomach became more frequent. Finally, Mu Xingfeng sighed, ”Wait here. I’ll see if there’s something suitable for you to eat.”

As he spoke, he stood up and opened the meal Zhang Liang had brought for him.

It was a box of porridge and a boxed meal that he had specially asked for. The boxed meal was simple: two dishes, one meat, and one vegetable. The meat was beef, and the vegetable was green pepper, neither of which was suitable for An Ran in her current state.

Smelling the fragrance of the rice in the air, An Ran gulped, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the boxed meal in Mu Xingfeng’s hand, ”Honey, just one box seems a little too little, doesn’t it?”

She felt like she could eat at least two, if not three, boxes.

Mu Xingfeng knew the little girl was really starving. He had never seen her this eager before. It was obvious that the food in the mountains wasn’t good.

Under the undisguised gaze of his wife, Mu Xingfeng closed the box again, ”These aren’t suitable for you. Be good and take a nap, and I’ll go out to buy you some food.”

”It’s really no trouble. Even just plain rice would be fine right now,” An Ran felt that smelling the rice without being able to eat it was nothing short of torture.

”Be good and listen. Close your eyes, and don’t move your hands around. I’ll be back soon,” Mu Xingfeng adjusted her arm again to make sure the IV line was smooth before leaving the room.

Zhang Liang had been waiting outside the door. Seeing Mu Xingfeng come out, he stood up, ”Young Master Mu.”

”Keep an eye on her. I’ll be out for a bit,” The wet clothes An Ran had on before couldn’t be worn again. Even though she was now in a nurse’s uniform, he didn’t like seeing her in it, and he knew his little girl loved elegance and had a cleanliness obsession. He didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable.

”Yes, don’t worry, Young Master Mu. I’ll keep watch over Miss An,” Zhang Liang said.

With Zhang Liang’s assurance, Mu Xingfeng left and found a nearby home-style restaurant to order two dishes and a soup. While waiting for the food, he took a stroll around the adjacent shopping mall.

At eight o’clock in the small town, the streets were already somewhat desolate. Although the mall hadn’t closed yet, there were few customers.

The sales staff either chatted in pairs or listlessly waited for the end of their shifts. However, when Mu Xingfeng stepped into the mall, a dozen pairs of eyes all glanced over at him.

”Hey, look, a member of the Guard Team has arrived.”

”Do we even have guard members around here? From the way this person looks, it doesn’t seem like he’s visiting family.”

”Isn’t that obvious? Who dresses like that to visit family? But honestly, that outfit is really cool.”

”Not only the outfit, but the person looks cool too. Could he be an actor? Is there a film being shot near us?”

”Probably is. Doesn’t he look like the lead actor in ’Wolf Warrior’?”

”Come on, ’Wolf Warrior’s’ lead isn’t as handsome as him. Plus, that lead is short, and this person is at least one-eighty, okay?”

...

Mu Xingfeng ignored the noisy chatter of the women and walked straight to the women’s clothing section.

The sales assistant at the women’s clothing counter eagerly approached him, ”Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”

Mu Xingfeng scanned the women’s clothing on display. They couldn’t compare to those in the Imperial City or even those in the Nan’an City mall. The styles were outdated, and even the fabric wasn’t to his taste.

In the end, he pointed at a white cotton dress, ”Get me one in size S.”

The sales assistant made out the bill for him, but Mu Xingfeng didn’t rush to pay. He turned to the lingerie section and pointed to a pink bra set, giving a size.
