Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1068: Having This Backbone

An Ran looked at the shorts Xiao Xiao was holding and her eyes lit up as well.

The faux leather hot pants, with a high waist, in pure black that reflected a sheen under the lights, ”Looks good. How about we wear these, one black and one red,” An Ran said, eyeing the same style in red beside them and comparing.

”Sounds good,” An Ran and Xiao Xiao became best friends largely because they shared common interests and taste.

After buying things and having a delightful hotpot meal, the two let Jiang Zhuo take them back.

The wives of the guard team also needed to prepare a program, and as a family member of Mu Xingfeng, An Ran needed to participate. Xiao Xiao then had to go back to the East District Villa with Jiang Zhuo.

”Xiao Xiao, actually, Brother Yang must surely wish for you to live on the base,” An Ran winked at Xiao Xiao as she got off the car.

”Come on, Young Master Xiao still has some pride, bye!”

Watching her awkward stance, An Ran shook her head with a laugh and walked into the compound with her things.

The small soldier at the gate had long recognized An Ran and saluted her from afar, grinning cheekily, ”Sister-in-law is back? Bought so much again, not waiting for Captain Mu to pick you up?”

”No talking while on duty!” An Ran warned, but still came up to the guardroom and took a bag of lychees from her sack to hand to the guard on duty. They had been taken from the fridge when bought, and even with the car’s air conditioning, they were still cold and refreshing despite the weather.

The guard, who had already noticed An Ran, was about to greet her but took the lychees she handed over and smiled, ”Sister-in-law is always so kind to us.”

An Ran smiled softly, not quite used to the teasing from these guards. Although Mu Xingfeng was their captain and it was perfectly fine for them to call her sister-in-law, there weren’t many guards much younger than her, especially since those at the gate were all veterans.

After placing her things at home and changing outfits, An Ran headed to the large auditorium of the first brigade.

In the auditorium, besides Sister-in-law Song, Sister-in-law Sun, Sister-in-law Wang, and other wives from the first brigade, there were also many wives An Ran didn’t know. Although there were many in the guard team, the family members weren’t that many. This time, in addition to having the chief guard and officers below participate in the show, the officers also encouraged family members to actively join in.

The entourage of the guard team consisted of officers at the deputy battalion level and above, and the officers were setting an example for these family members by speaking thus.

The families of the guard team lived in a large compound. Even if not in the same team, they often met and chatted. So, after some discussion, they decided to get together to prepare a lively program.

Seeing An Ran come in, Sister-in-law Song waved to her. An Ran smiled and walked over, spotting Wang Xia not far away.

At first, she thought she had mistaken someone from afar, but as she got closer, Wang Xia suddenly lifted her head and gave her a meaningful look.

”She’s Captain Mu’s girlfriend,” Huang Xiaoyu glanced at An Ran following Wang Xia’s gaze, smirked, and scrutinized Wang Xia’s expression, ”Didn’t expect Captain Mu, with his cold demeanor, to like young girls.”

She hadn’t forgotten Hairong’s words when registering: ”my dad is Mu Xingfeng,” and Wang Xia’s panicked look.

Wang Xia withdrew her gaze, organizing the props for the performance at hand, and said flatly, ”I’ve known Xingfeng for six or seven years. Beyond showing more expressions when seeing Rong, even his childhood sweetheart didn’t make any difference.”
