Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1188: The Greatest Blessing

An Ran finally understood the hidden meaning in Xiao Xiao’s words and felt embarrassed beyond belief. Even though they were in the classroom and there weren’t many people around, seeing Lu Yi almost laughing himself into stitches made her furious. She hit Xiao Xiao on the head with a book, ”What are you even talking about? Yesterday was my birthday, Instructor Mu celebrated it with me.”

Saying this, An Ran sat back down on her chair, her face involuntarily turning a shade of red.

”It’s just a birthday, why are you blushing? Did you skip the birthday part and just go straight to the fun?” teased Xiao Xiao.

Oh my god, An Ran widened her eyes, ”Xiao Xiao, why is your mouth getting filthier?”

With that, An Ran made a move as if to pounce, annoyed at how this person, despite her vulgar mouth, hadn’t even managed to snag Lin Junyang. An Ran was seriously questioning if Xiao Xiao had been born into the wrong body.

”Hey, Lu Yi, help me out,” Xiao Xiao was being tickled non-stop by An Ran, laughing so much she could hardly breathe.

Lu Yi looked at the two of them, helpless, and pulled the furious An Ran aside, ”Alright, alright, just let her be. Take it as her being envious and jealous.”

Xiao Xiao had just escaped An Ran’s clutches when she heard Lu Yi’s words and was displeased, ”Why would I be envious and jealous? Let me tell you, missy here is also being pursued now.”

”Fine, fine, you all have admirers, and I’m just a single dog, envious and jealous, alright?”

At this point, two people slipped in through the door, none other than Shen Qi and Zhu Pengfei, who hadn’t been seen for over a month.

Shen Qi’s brother had already been sentenced and was serving time. Looking at Shen Qi’s current state, it seemed she had moved past that incident.

Zhu Pengfei waved at the group as he entered.

Since leaving Qingfeng Town Hospital, it was the first time An Ran had seen Zhu Pengfei. Seeing his spirited demeanor and the sweet look on his face as he held Shen Qi’s little hand, she knew he was doing well too.

”Lu Yi, how’s your injury?” Zhu Pengfei asked about Lu Yi’s injury as soon as he came in.

”You’re asking me? I don’t know who was beaten up back then until they were almost out of breath,” Lu Yi replied with a smile.

Zhu Pengfei was unfazed, ”Those were just superficial wounds for me, but yours was a bone injury, and it takes a hundred days to heal from a bone injury.”

”It was just a fracture, all healed now,” Lu Yi nodded, replying.

Shen Qi walked up to An Ran and took her hand, ”An Ran, you didn’t return to the dorm last night. I just wanted to thank you, something I’ve wanted to say for a long time: meeting you has been the greatest fortune of my life. You’re not only my benefactor but also my brother’s. I was afraid you wouldn’t come back to the dorm tonight, so I came to see you specially.”

Later, Shen Qi had visited Shen Bin and realized that if it hadn’t been for An Ran, her brother wouldn’t have turned back, and what awaited him might have been the same fate as Qiao Er. She feared she would have lost her brother forever.

No matter how wrong Shen Bin had been, he was the brother she grew up depending on, and everything he did was for her.

She didn’t want to lose the only family she had in the world, so Shen Qi’s gratitude towards An Ran was only natural.

When Shen Qi finished, An Ran felt a bit embarrassed. She really didn’t plan to return to the dorm for the time being. Mu Xingfeng’s transfer order would be coming any day now, and she planned to stay at the villa for a while.

”Shen Qi, I’ve said it before, we’re friends. There’s no need for so much formality between friends, and your brother is not a bad person at heart; he was just momentarily confused. If you have any difficulties in the future, don’t hesitate to ask—we’ll all be here to help you.”

With Shen Bin imprisoned, the family’s sole financial support was gone. Having paid for her own tuition and living expenses before, she understood the hardships of that kind of life.
