Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 98: Chapter 108: Isn’t it just a granddaughter? I have one too

Although he was eager to have a great-grandson, he didn’t want to arrange Mu Xingfeng’s marriage. Mu Zhenzong’s marriage back then was arranged by the elders from both families, and the two kids never had a warm relationship throughout their lives. He didn’t want Mu Xingfeng to follow his father’s old path.

”If we don’t arrange it, that kid Mu Xingfeng will be led away by some other girl sooner or later.”

”What do you mean?”

Old Mr. Lin reflexively asked in response to Old Mr. Mu’s words. When Old Mr. Mu questioned him back, he realized he had slipped up. He knew how much Old Man Mu wanted a great-grandson, and the great-grandson didn’t necessarily have to be his granddaughter’s son. Quickly changing his tone, he said, ”It’s nothing, it’s nothing. What I mean is, Xingfeng has such great qualities and Ruonan is so assertive; both kids have cold personalities. If Xingfeng meets a scheming woman and clings to him, what will happen to our Ruonan? Where else can you find such an outstanding granddaughter-in-law?”

”Xingfeng isn’t that kind of person, is he?”

Old Mr. Mu thought for a moment and said, if Xingfeng were so easily swayed, then over the years, every time Xingfeng returned home from his visits, the young ladies from noble and prestigious families who had any connection to the Mu Family would have stepped over themselves to get close to them. Even those without any connection tried to do so, but Xingfeng never even glanced at them.

”Ah! Come on, Old Man Mu, don’t you know what these young girls are like nowadays? Those with thick skins, ah! I’m embarrassed to even say it. You think they are all like our Ruonan?” Old Mr. Lin constantly brainwashed Old Mr. Mu.

Old Mr. Mu also felt that what Old Mr. Lin said made some sense. A girl like Lin Ruonan wasn’t easy to find. Finally, he said, ”Alright, it’s settled then. This Spring Festival when Xingfeng comes back, I’ll give you an answer.”

Having received Old Mr. Mu’s promise, Old Mr. Lin finally hung up the phone satisfied, telling Old Mr. Mu that his granddaughter had returned and he wouldn’t have time to play chess with him for the next couple of days. He had his granddaughter to accompany him, which made Old Mr. Mu blow his beard in anger.

”It’s just a granddaughter, isn’t it? I have one too.” Old Mr. Mu hung up the phone and said angrily, shouting towards the second floor, ”Wanxin, Wanxin——”

Mu Wanxin was sleeping when she heard her grandpa’s loud, vigorous call. She came out with her hair looking like a bird’s nest and said, ”Grandpa, what’s this yelling about early in the morning? Can people sleep or not?”

”Look at what time it is and you’re still sleeping? You’re about to get married, yet you look like this. How can Wenxuan tolerate you?” Old Mr. Mu said helplessly upon seeing Mu Wanxin’s appearance.

Old Mr. Mu had a child late in life, and his wife had poor health, so they didn’t have more children. Although Mu Zhenzong’s first child was a girl, she was the first daughter of the Mu Family, thus the old man doted on her dearly. Even though she was raised in a military family, she was brought up like a princess.

Originally, the idea was to raise the girl with wealth, making her a bit delicate, a bit noble, and a bit lazy wouldn’t be a problem. But seeing her current state, the old man couldn’t help but criticize.

”If Brother Wenxuan can’t tolerate me, then I won’t marry him. I’ll stay home forever.” Mu Wanxin had already come downstairs, sitting beside Old Mr. Mu and cuddling his arm affectionately.

”Come on, don’t talk like that. I can’t count on your brother, but I’m hoping you’ll give me a great-great-grandson to play with soon.” Old Mr. Mu said, then remembered Old Mr. Lin’s abnormal behavior from earlier. Looking at Mu Wanxin, he asked, ”By the way, has your brother recently started seeing someone?”
