Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 983: Chapter 996: Bringing Some Things

After the call ended, An Ran felt gloomy. Shen Bin and Shen Qi had relied on each other since childhood. Shen Bin considered Shen Qi his everything. In order for her to complete her studies and have a better life, he turned to drug trafficking and embarked on the path of crime.

But he overlooked the fact that he was also everything to his sister and her only support.

She glanced at the clock on the wall, it was four in the afternoon, and the weather outside should not be too hot anymore. An Ran pondered whether to go out to buy some groceries, mainly because her snacks were running low.

Mu Xingfeng told her before he left that she could reach out to Liu Hu if there was something she needed. Although the exercise was yet to reach its final stage, the few tasked with the mission could no longer return to the battlefield. Mu Xingfeng was returning because his identity required it. Even if he was not commanding on the field, he still needed to keep an eye on his troops. Liu Hu was much freer. Mu Xingfeng had just left Liu Hu with the Guard Team to take care of An Ran.

She was just contemplating what to eat when the doorbell rang.

An Ran’s eyes lit up; thinking led to arriving— it must be Liu Hu.

She put down the chips in her hand, slipped on her shoes, and ran to the door, ”Liu Hu...”

But she stopped before the rest of the words came out.

Outside the door stood a woman in a cream-colored dress, equally frozen in place.

”Excuse me, is this Captain Mu’s house?” The woman outside first spoke.

An Ran nodded, ”Yes, Mu Xingfeng is not home, he went to participate in a drill.”

Although she didn’t know who this woman was, outside of military family members, ordinary outsiders couldn’t enter the Guard Team’s compound.

Considering the woman opened by asking about Captain Mu, An Ran thought she must be the family member of some officer.

”I saw Captain Mu yesterday. I thought he had returned. Are you Captain Mu’s sister?”

The woman asked with a smile while sizing up An Ran.

”No, I’m Mu Xingfeng’s wife. Are you looking for him? His phone should be reachable these days. If there’s anything urgent, you can call him.”

An Ran, unfamiliar with matters concerning the Guard Team compound, worried upon seeing someone come to their home.

The woman’s smile faded slightly upon hearing her first sentence, while her eyes showed a more cautious expression.

An Ran was wearing only shorts and a simple T-shirt at home, her bangs still tied atop her head, yet today she gathered them into a small bun, her palm-sized face bare without makeup, with her dark, clear eyes.

Xiaoyu involuntarily sneered silently—so Captain Mu’s taste is not particularly great. What’s this little girl worth? No chest, no butt, and although her tiny face is passable, isn’t she too young? My brother said Captain Mu is already twenty-seven this year. Is this little girl really of age? What could a little girl living with a grown man possibly have in common? Or does Captain Mu have some specific fetish?

Seeing the woman scan her constantly with strange smiles but not speaking, An Ran asked doubtfully, ”Is there anything else?”

Xiaoyu regained her attention upon An Ran’s question, ”So you’re Captain Mu’s family, you do look surprisingly young. I am Chief Guard Huang’s sister. My brother heard that Captain Mu brought family over, so he sent me to deliver some things.”

Saying this, Xiaoyu lifted the bag in her hand and stepped into the house.

Seeing the high-end furniture, branded electronics, and the small classy refrigerator in Mu Xingfeng’s home, a trace of astonishment flickered in Xiaoyu’s eyes.
