Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 984: Chapter 997: This Bitterness in My Heart

I’ve long heard that Captain Mu’s family is well-off, but no matter how good it is, it’s just family. In the Guard Team, everyone earns the same salary, and logically speaking, as a captain, he wouldn’t even earn more than my brother.

However, the arrangements in his home distinctly reflect the owner’s different status. Except for the sofa set, which looks fairly ordinary, there’s the dining table, the TV cabinet, the curio shelf, and the small ornaments on it.

Although Huang Xiaoyu hadn’t been in the city long, she had often visited the city’s markets and watched television frequently; every piece of furniture in this house was from a well-known international brand, even the small ornaments had appeared on TV.

As for that refrigerator, she and her brother’s family, totaling four people, only used a three-door fridge. Captain Mu’s wife often was alone, yet they had such a big refrigerator, clearly showing how superior Captain Mu’s family conditions were.

Huang Xiaoyu felt a great sense of resentment in her heart at this moment.

The second day after joining the Guard Team, she saw the legendary Cold-faced Yama of Nan’an Guard Team and had harbored feelings for this man. But Mu Xingfeng was too aloof normally, not even a smile, just a few simple words in greeting and a cold demeanor.

That made her unable to work up the courage to approach him.

Knowing he was single, she managed to persuade her brother and Chief Guard Wang to act as matchmakers, only to receive the message that Captain Mu was not considering personal matters for now.

He’s not in a hurry, and neither is she; after all, she’s younger than Captain Mu, she can wait.

Who knew that this waiting would lead to the news of Captain Mu getting engaged on May 1st; hearing this news was like the sky falling apart to her.

For the past half year, whenever there was no class or during her free time, she would go to the training ground to watch this man train from afar, causing several officers in the Guard Team to mistakenly propose to her brother.

Yet, this man was going to marry another woman; the man she had admired for so long didn’t even know who she was, and he was going to belong to another woman. How could she be willing to accept that?

An Ran stood at the doorway looking at the woman inside the house acting so familiar, feeling somewhat displeased, but a visitor is always a guest.

She knew Mu Xingfeng was under Chief Guard Wang’s command, and she didn’t know who this Chief Guard Huang was, but she knew he must be considered Mu Xingfeng’s superior.

The visitor claimed to be Chief Guard Huang’s sister, saying she knew Mu Xingfeng had brought his family, so she came over to bring some things. This was her first time having a superior’s family visit in the Guard Team compound, so no matter how she felt about the visitor, she couldn’t be rude.

Glancing at the fruit Huang Xiaoyu had placed on the table, An Ran politely said, ”Chief Guard Huang is truly considerate; Mu Xingfeng is away for maneuvers, and I can’t eat much on my own.”

As she spoke, Huang Xiaoyu had already left the living room and was walking toward the study.

An Ran felt increasingly displeased.

Honestly, she didn’t have experience dealing with such people; her social circle was rather small, aside from her best friends, there was Sun Xuehui and An Sijia, that mother and daughter pair, although they were shameless, she could choose to ignore them or retort like she did now.

However, neither of these methods seemed feasible for the person in front of her now.

”Is this Captain Mu’s study? So Captain Mu also loves reading?” Huang Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up as she looked at the wall full of bookshelves.

It wasn’t that she enjoyed reading, but she admired scholarly people; due to her own lack of education, she always held a bit of admiration for knowledgeable men in her heart.
