Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1083: How Does That Look?

At the table were all officers, with only Hairong as the child. Originally, they let Hairong sit with them out of consideration for his father, Haigang, who was a comrade. They felt a sense of sympathy for their comrade’s orphan.

But unexpectedly, the big men at the table failed to take care of the child and scared him, prompting everyone to comfort him.

Wang Xia examined Mu Xingfeng’s clothes apologetically, ”Xingfeng, your clothes are all wet. You should go and change.” She then turned to An Ran, ”Ran, Xingfeng’s clothes are wet, can you go back and get him a change?”

An Ran was also headed toward the table and was a bit surprised upon hearing Wang Xia’s words, not expecting them to come from her.

Sister-in-law Song noticed Mu Xingfeng’s drenched state and also said to An Ran, ”Xingfeng is really wet, you should go back and fetch him a change of clothes, let him go upstairs first. There’s a duty room upstairs.”

An Ran winced slightly, wondering how the drink spilled so thoroughly, likely resulting in the whole glass being dumped onto Mu Xingfeng’s crotch. Walking out like this and being seen by his subordinates would indeed be unseemly.

”Alright, I’ll go get him some clothes,” An Ran agreed, and headed to the auditorium.

The house was a distance away, but the auditorium was close. The clothes from the performance earlier were still there, perfect for a change.

”I’ll go with you,” Xiao Xiao had been feeling that something was off with Wang Xia and didn’t feel comfortable leaving An Ran alone, especially after the incident.

Despite believing that Wang Xia wouldn’t do anything to her in broad daylight, An Ran didn’t refuse, and together with Xiao Xiao went to the auditorium.

Just as they were about to leave with the clothes, someone suddenly jumped out from the side and blocked Xiao Xiao.

An Ran was startled and about to scream, but then she saw it was Lin Junyang.

Xiao Xiao recognized him too and tried to sidestep him, but when she moved left, Lin Junyang also moved left, and when she went right, he went right, refusing to let her pass.

”Lin Junyang, are you done with your antics? Instructor Mu’s clothes are wet, and he’s waiting for An Ran to bring him a change,” Xiao Xiao snapped, glaring at him.

”Second Brother is waiting for Tuzi, why are you rushed?” He also turned to An Ran and said, ”Second Sister-in-law, you should go quickly. Second Brother is in the duty room on the second floor of the cafeteria.”

Lin Junyang rarely called her Second Sister-in-law, and this time it sounded almost pleading. An Ran, feeling no pressure, gestured to Xiao Xiao and carried the clothes back to the cafeteria.

By now, everyone had returned to their seats and continued eating. That brief episode was just a small interlude. Chief Guard Wang personally tended to Hairong’s meal, Wang Xia had changed seats to sit beside Sister-in-law Sun and was happily chatting with her.

Seeing An Ran enter the cafeteria, Wang Xia stood up to greet her, ”Xingfeng is in room 203 upstairs resting, you should hurry.”

An Ran nodded and headed toward the stairs.

But she turned back to look at the table where Mu Xingfeng had been, noticing that not only Mu Xingfeng and Lin Junyang were missing, but Captain Li and Jia Chenggang were also absent.

She was puzzled until Jia Chenggang came down the stairs, meeting An Ran head-on, and gave a nasal grunt upon seeing her holding the clothes. He frowned at the sight, ”Is that the clothing you got for Captain Mu?”

If memory served, those clothes were indeed what Captain Mu wore for the dance performance earlier.

Being officers on the Guard Team, maintaining appearances is crucial, especially for the commanding officer. Though performances are one thing, having a captain wearing such peculiar pants in private, seen by subordinates, would be quite improper.
