Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 967: Chapter 977: I Just Want to Hold You

On the helicopter ride back, besides her, Zhang Liang, and Fang Hui, there was also an unexpected person for An Ran.

Wang Jiaqi sat in the corner at the tail of the aircraft, her hands tied behind her back, while Zhang Liang sat next to her, looking as if he was keeping a close watch on her.

Wang Jiaqi no longer had her previous sparkle and confidence, her head bowed, her overall demeanor despondent, resigned to her fate.

Seeing An Ran’s gaze, Mu Xingfeng reached out and pressed her little head against his chest, his arm around her waist tightened slightly. Just barely, once again, her little precious had narrowly escaped disaster. Such a kind girl, why does she always face so many hardships?

At this moment, Mu Xingfeng truly wished he could tie her to his belt and carry her around at all times, enjoying his protection every moment.

Feeling Mu Xingfeng’s aura, desolate and subdued, An Ran lifted her head from his embrace and placed a kiss on his thin lips, ”Husband, what’s wrong?”

”Nothing, just want to hold you.”

”There are so many people watching,” An Ran shifted a little uneasily, glanced again at Wang Jiaqi, curiosity prompted her to finally ask, ”What’s the situation with Teacher Wang?”

This morning Chen Mingxi had come to plead with Mu Xingfeng on behalf of Teacher Wang, afterwards it was unclear how things were resolved. Now it seems, Chen Mingxi’s plea likely did not work, or Mu Xingfeng simply did not intend to let Wang Jiaqi off.

If it’s just because of Wang Jiaqi’s actions last night, based on her understanding of Mu Xingfeng, he wouldn’t tie someone up and take them back directly, but instead settle the score on the spot. The only possibility is that Wang Jiaqi had already crossed Mu Xingfeng’s bottom line.

”The medicine she tried to inject into you last night has been tested, it contains acetaminophen,” Mu Xingfeng said, his deep gaze turning increasingly cold and fierce.

”Hmm, nothing wrong with using acetaminophen for fever, right?” An Ran was puzzled, raising her little head, her clear eyes full of innocence.

Mu Xingfeng, somewhat unwilling to see her clear eyes, pressed her little head back into his embrace again. Only by holding her like this does he feel at ease.

But his voice was low and chilling as he said, ”It’s in high concentration, and you used aspirin last night as well.”

Hearing Mu Xingfeng’s words, An Ran’s heart gradually cooled down.

Acetaminophen is commonly used for fever reduction, but excessive doses can cause liver damage, severe cases may lead to coma or even death. Moreover, when combined with aspirin, it can significantly increase kidney toxicity.

Wang Jiaqi is a teacher in the Department of Medicine; for her, discreetly killing someone is incredibly easy.

Thankfully, Mu Xingfeng returned timely yesterday; otherwise, she might never have woken up from that sleep.

All along, Wang Jiaqi had a clear prejudice against her; she was very aware but couldn’t understand what she did to provoke such murderous intent.

Before this event, she had no interaction with Wang Jiaqi, even during the event, she never targeted Wang Jiaqi.

Whether it was Lu Yi discreetly utilizing event medication for her or her decision to stay at Grandma Li’s house, neither should have instilled such malice.

Mu Xingfeng lowered his head and kissed the quiet little one, offering an explanation for her confusion.

”Wang Jiaqi once had a relatively happy family. Her husband was a classmate from the same school, and after graduation, the two got married. She taught at Nan University, and her husband joined a company, their days were fairly happy and harmonious...”
