Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1541: Chapter 1556: Suffocating Pain

Putting the car keys on the shoe cabinet, changing his shoes, Mu Xingfeng did not take a step inside but leaned against the foyer, watching the busy silhouette reflected by the kitchen light.

Today, he spent the entire day investigating the mysterious person. Consistent with what Jin Weiliang said, he reviewed all the surveillance footage from the charity night but didn’t find any suspicious individuals.

Based solely on the surveillance, he excluded all registered staff, invited guests, and those wearing press credentials, a massive workload, yet he still couldn’t find that person.

In other words, that person was prepared, either disguised as a staff member or possessing exceptional counter-surveillance abilities, leaving no trace in any surveillance angle at the venue.

In principle, the surveillance at Lu’s Hotel venue is seamless.

The one girl with glasses who did appear in view was also nowhere to be found.

As for that remittance account, it originated overseas.

All signs indicate that those two diamond bracelets were not accidental, and he definitely wouldn’t naively believe the other party just wanted to do charity anonymously.

On the day, An Ran entered as Huo Shaohua’s companion, while her true identity was not disclosed in Nan’an’s circle. Yet, the person directly mentioned gifting the bracelet to Miss An Ran.

Mu Xingfeng’s hand beside him involuntarily tightened.

At this moment, An Ran walked out of the kitchen with freshly stir-fried shredded beef and saw the man at the door.

”Honey, you’re back, perfect timing, dinner is ready. Go wash your hands and come eat.”

Hearing the little wife’s joyful voice, Mu Xingfeng’s expression softened slightly. He walked to the dining table and saw several dishes prepared: spicy beef strips, stir-fried water bamboo shoots, braised ribs, steamed fish, all his favorites.

As the girl was about to turn around, Mu Xingfeng suddenly embraced her.

The girl looked at the man’s bloodshot eyes. Whether he hadn’t rested well these days or something else, she finally asked uncertainly, ”What’s wrong?”

As she asked this, An Ran’s beautiful eyes were full of worry. He knew he had scared her.

But he really couldn’t help it. Thinking of the possibility that the person approached An Ran with a purpose, or was declaring something to him through An Ran, made his heart feel like it was being tightly squeezed by a huge hand, causing suffocating pain.

Only by holding her like this, did he truly feel she was his, and she wouldn’t leave him.

Mu Xingfeng cupped her small face, his lips slightly curled, giving her an incredibly gentle smile, ”It’s nothing. Seeing you cook so many dishes waiting for hubby to come back, hubby is happy. Wife, after we marry, how about transferring to the Imperial Medical University? Then hubby can enjoy this treatment often.”

He couldn’t wait any longer. In his view, Nan’an for An Ran now felt like a place full of danger, like a giant net in the sky ready to descend and take his beloved away.

This invisible, ungraspable feeling left him at a loss. Only by placing her by his side, where he could see and touch her, could he be at ease.

An Ran gazed back at Mu Xingfeng. Though he was smiling, she saw something else in his eyes.
