Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1547: Chapter 1562: I Like You

It’s just that, while she wanted to leave, the other two seemed to have no intention of going anywhere.

Mu Xingfeng’s feet seemed rooted to the ground. Despite An Ran’s tugging and pulling, he didn’t budge at all, and his gaze was fixed intently on Zheng Kai.

Zheng Kai felt an unprecedented pressure looming over him, making it almost impossible to stand straight. But seeing An Ran, seeing his first spark of affection about to dissipate before it even began, he didn’t want to give up just like that. If he could, he wanted that girl, the girl he had quietly liked for so long, to know that there was a boy who once silently liked her.

”An Ran, I like you. I’ve liked you for a very, very long time, from the very first moment I saw you...”

...Time seemed to have suddenly come to a standstill. An Ran stiffly turned her neck, looking at the two men behind her whom she wanted to ignore. One looked deeply affectionate, the other like a block of ice. Ultimately, helpless, she could only muster a smile more unconvincing than crying.

”Zheng Kai, I was in a bit of a rush earlier and didn’t introduce you properly.” Saying this, An Ran stood next to Mu Xingfeng, pointing at the man beside her. ”Mu Xingfeng, my husband.”

After saying this, not caring about how much ”ice” was piling on the man, she bowed her head and pointed to Zheng Kai: ”My classmate, Zheng Kai.”

”Thud—”

Zheng Kai’s backpack slipped off his shoulder, hitting the ground and making the only sound between the three of them.

He had imagined dozens of possibilities, that this man would be An Ran’s boyfriend, which he could tell by the way she behaved towards him. He never thought about an outright intrusion (if An Ran liked him too, he wouldn’t mind). But he never expected An Ran to introduce him like this... her husband?!

It turned out Lu Yi never mentioned his crush on An Ran, not because he didn’t want to, but because by then, none of them had a chance anymore.

He remembered An Ran once saying she liked the ”cold and aloof” type. Seeing the man in front of him, he finally understood what she meant.

More than just cold and aloof, he was like standing at the peak of an 8,000-meter-high mountain, freezing to the point of dropping icicles.

An Ran looked at Zheng Kai, who appeared utterly downcast and struck, and felt a bit of reluctance. She was about to say something to lighten the mood when she saw him picking up his backpack off the ground and walking away without looking back.

An Ran took a step forward, wanting to call out to him, but knowing it would only add to his embarrassment.

Meanwhile, the ”iceberg” beside her began to thaw as soon as she introduced him as her husband.

Seeing An Ran’s small gesture, Mu Xingfeng put his arm around her slim waist and, feeling rather pleased, said, ”Wifey, let’s go home.”

Home, home. When she was pulling him to go home earlier, why didn’t he go? Now that he’s achieved his goal, he’s pulling her to go home?

Thinking of this, An Ran directly shook off his arm, angrily marching on her own in the direction of home.

Mu Xingfeng glanced at his car across the street but followed behind An Ran, noticing her ponytail bouncing with her movement, knowing that the little one was mad.

”Wifey, hubby drove here to pick you up. How about I give you a ride back?”

Getting no response, Mu Xingfeng unhurriedly followed her and asked again, ”Wifey, are you mad?”

After asking, he reflected that something was amiss. Just a moment ago, he was the one who was mad, how did it turn into the little wife being mad all of a sudden?
