Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1528: Chapter 1543: The Unexpected Appearance of the Affectionate Social Brother

”You just don’t get it. According to my understanding of An Ran, there’s only one person in the world who could make her act this way. Haven’t you heard the saying that a little separation rekindles passion? So, as her husband during this brief separation, she naturally forgot about the sisterly bond between us.”

Xiao Xiao said, pretending to be saddened as she leaned on Wang Xiaoyi’s shoulder.

”You, huh? Wait until Young Master Lin comes looking for you, let’s see if you’ll still be teasing others,” Wang Xiaoyi tapped Xiao Xiao’s forehead jokingly.

Just then, there was a stir at the door, and several men dressed in black suits walked in, each carrying a large flower basket filled with hundreds of budding red roses.

Xiao Xiao was seeing such a spectacle for the first time and gasped in shock. Not only Xiao Xiao but everyone present was amazed.

Being closest to Wang Xiaoyi, Xiao Xiao finally looked at her old classmate beside her and asked, ”Xiaoyi, what’s going on here?”

The men in black suits—could it be that Wang Xiaoyi got involved with the mafia?

But Wang Xiaoyi, watching the swarm of men and the hundreds of red roses, covered her mouth with both hands to keep from making a sound, though her eyes had already turned red.

It wasn’t until the men in black lined up in two rows and that man appeared at the entrance that Wang Xiaoyi got up and rushed over.

Xiao Xiao was too stunned to speak, sneakily took out her phone and snapped a photo, posting a status update.

Qiao Shan caught Wang Xiaoyi as she rushed over, kissed her forehead, and affectionately wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked inside, greeting acquaintances along the way.

Although this studio was opened under Wang Xiaoyi’s name, Qiao Shan knew that she had only attended school in Nan’an for a year and lacked connections and resources. Most of the people present on this opening day were invited under his name.

Even if the people he knew weren’t really connected to the art world, at least the crowd made it lively.

After taking a round, Qiao Shan hadn’t seen the person he wanted to meet and asked, ”The classmate of yours I saw at the bar the other day—didn’t you invite her? Didn’t you say you were very close?”

Wang Xiaoyi took a glass of red wine from a tray carried by a nearby waiter and handed it to Qiao Shan, ”I did invite her, but she had to leave because something came up.”

”She left before the ceremony even officially started—was it something urgent?” Qiao Shan took a sip of wine, asking casually.

”Probably. Xiao Xiao and I guessed it must be because her boyfriend came,” Wang Xiaoyi laughed lightly, realizing An Ran wasn’t quite what she imagined.

The seemingly quiet and shy girl, losing her composure upon hearing her boyfriend arrived.

”Her boyfriend? That Young Master Mu?” Qiao Shan squinted slightly.

Mu Xingfeng has been transferred to the Imperial City, why would he come to Nan’an at this time...

”Yes, you didn’t hear? Young Master Mu was actually our drill sergeant during boot camp at university, he was so cold, like a block of ice. I heard that people in their unit call him Cold-faced Yama. Who would’ve thought he became An Ran’s boyfriend? They’re said to be getting married next month.”

Wang Xiaoyi’s mood was very good after the special gift Qiao Shan prepared for her, so she kept talking excitedly.

Meanwhile, Qiao Shan kept sipping his red wine, listening patiently to the girl.

”Getting married next month? So, Mu Xingfeng must be in Nan’an to discuss wedding matters with his little wife?” he asked, looking down at the woman beside him.
