Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1159: Chapter 1173: You Are All Heroes

”I said it, my aunt isn’t a match for Uncle Mu. Only someone like Aunt can match Uncle Mu. Uncle Mu is a good person, and Aunt is a good person too. You are all heroes.”

Although Mu Xingfeng had a reputation for being cold in the Guard Team, his heroic deeds were well-known among these children. In their hearts, Mu Xingfeng was an invincible hero.

”Don’t call her Aunt; you should call her Auntie, Aunt An,” Sister-in-law Qu corrected again.

”Yes, Aunt An,” Huang Tao scratched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly.

An Ran reached out to ruffle his hair and exchanged a smile with Mu Xingfeng.

Huang Xiaoyu nearly ran out of the hospital and headed to the bus stop. After waiting for a while without seeing any buses, she flagged down a taxi and headed straight back to the Guard Team compound.

She was completely panicked now. She hadn’t expected the ones in the water were Huang Tao and Li Lele, and she hadn’t expected Li Lele to lose his life as a result.

If it hadn’t been Huang Tao in the water, she could easily pretend not to know. But the moment Huang Tao was in the water, he recognized her and knew she could swim, knew she knew and did not report it.

Despite the air conditioning in the taxi, Huang Xiaoyu’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her face was ghastly pale.

The driver glanced at the woman in the rearview mirror, wondering if the passenger he had just picked up from the hospital was suffering from any illness.

”Miss, are you feeling unwell? Should I take you back to the hospital?” the driver asked kindly.

Huang Xiaoyu snapped back to reality, seeing the driver’s dark eyes through the rearview mirror. Although they were friendly eyes, to her, they felt like sharp blades penetrating all her secrets.

”No... no need. I’m fine. Please take me to the Nan’an Guard Team quickly,” Huang Xiaoyu tried to suppress her inner fear.

”You’re going to the Nan’an Guard Team? Do you have family in the Guard Team?” The driver observed that she seemed fine and started chatting with her.

Huang Xiaoyu wasn’t in the mood to chat with the driver and nodded absentmindedly as he continued with his on-and-off conversation.

During the one-hour journey, Huang Xiaoyu’s heart gradually calmed down. By the time she returned to the Guard Team, she was even thinking that Li Lele’s drowning had nothing to do with her. She just didn’t save him. After all, there’s no law requiring someone to jump into the water to save a drowning person. There was no need for her to be so fearful over this issue.

As for Huang Tao, she was still his aunt. If her brother found out about his rebellious words, he would certainly discipline him.

When Huang Xiaoyu arrived home, Huang Xiaowei was just about to go out. He glanced at her, then looked behind her.

”Didn’t your sister-in-law and the others come back with you?”

”No, Huang Tao was fine, so I came back first. Brother, are you heading out?” Huang Xiaoyu walked to the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it.

”Yes, I just called the hospital. I’m going to check on Captain Li and the others, and bring your sister-in-law and them back. By the way, did you see Captain Li and them? To think about how cute Lele was, just gone like that... sigh...”

Huang Xiaowei sighed as he spoke, not noticing his sister’s face turning a mix of pale and blue.

”No... I didn’t see them. I came back when I saw Taotao was fine. Brother, it’s almost dark. Maybe you should let your sister-in-law and the others stay at the hospital overnight and pick them up tomorrow in the daytime,” Huang Xiaoyu proposed to her brother.
