Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1475: Suddenly Missing Her

A melodious, deep voice with the richness of a cello said, ”You little rascal, you guessed it right. Don’t people always say that after serving three years in the army, even a sow looks like Diao Chan? Besides, your husband here has served five years.”

”Mu Xingfeng, you...”

An Ran was too angry to speak. Was he implying that she was worse than a sow?

The two of them bickered over the phone for a while, and the gloom An Ran had accumulated all night dissipated.

”Alright, stop overthinking. It’s very late, go take a warm bath and sleep tight,” Mu Xingfeng gently coaxed her.

For the first time, she began to doubt her previous decision. If she hadn’t let her little wife try to take over Wenshan, or if she hadn’t allowed them to live apart, this situation wouldn’t have occurred.

At least she wouldn’t have to face those troubling matters by herself.

After hanging up on Mu Xingfeng, An Ran felt much better. Indeed, communication is the best way to dispel depression. She took a warm bath in the bathroom and quickly fell asleep afterward.

Meanwhile, in the distant Imperial City, after ending the call with An Ran, Mu Xingfeng made three more calls in a row.

The first call was to Sun Wangbei. No matter what, An Youcai is An Ran’s foster father, he couldn’t let his little wife have regrets in her heart. He would not plead for An Sijia’s case, but he also wouldn’t allow his brothers to take advantage of the situation for revenge because An Family had previously troubled An Ran.

The issue between An Ran and An Family is best resolved by her; otherwise, it could become an insurmountable barrier in her heart for a lifetime.

Of course, if she can’t resolve it, he would step in at any time.

The second call went to Jin Weiliang.

He must find a way to discover the anonymous person at today’s charity auction. He had a strong premonition that the person who spent 25 million to buy two diamond bracelets worth only hundreds of thousands and gifted them to An Ran did so deliberately.

Jin Weiliang is the CEO sent by the Mu Family to Wenshan, and he is also a spy that Mu planted in Nan’an. With An Ran in Nan’an, he couldn’t just leave her there to face everything alone.

On the surface, it seemed like Huo Shaohua was supporting her, but actually, Jin Weiliang had been secretly watching over her as well.

The third call was to Zhang Liang. The appearance of this mysterious person made Mu Xingfeng very uneasy. People are always like this; faced with the unknown and uncontrollable, the first instinct is to be defensive.

What Mu Xingfeng needed to do was to ensure An Ran’s safety before figuring out who the person was and whether they were an enemy or a friend.

After making the three calls, it was already early morning. Mu Xingfeng leaned against the back of the sofa, tiredly massaging his brow, suddenly longing for her deeply.

With An Ran not by his side, he felt the more acute pain of long-distance longing.

The next day, all major newspapers in Nan’an and entertainment headlines were reporting on the scandal between the Shunfeng Company CEO and Jiawen Entertainment’s rising star.

”An Ran, I’ve got something good for you to see.”

Xiao Xiao placed a stack of newspapers and magazines on An Ran’s desk. When An Ran picked them up to look, nearly all the headlines were about that incident.

”Who would’ve thought An Sijia would have a day like this. Satisfying.”

Xiao Xiao waved a magnified photo in front of her. Even though the person’s midsection was pixelated and only a profile of the face shown, anyone familiar would immediately know who it was in the photo.

An Ran took the newspaper, knowing without asking that An Sijia was ruined. She finally faced the consequences of her actions, but for some reason, An Ran didn’t feel as happy as she had imagined.
