Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 762: Chapter 775: Stealing Dad’s Woman

It wouldn’t be like ordinary people, working from nine to five, leaving for work together every morning, and returning home together in the evening, resting at home on the weekends.

His time doesn’t belong to her, nor to himself. She is already very content that he can come back to spend a weekend with her every week. She knows that many military couples don’t even get to see each other a few times a year.

There’s only half a month left until the May Day holiday, which is also the wedding date of the eldest sister, Mu Wanxin.

An Ran went out over the weekend. Even though the Mu Family owns a mall where she could get anything she needed, she still wanted to buy some gifts for the Mu Family members.

In the past, because she was only Mu Xingfeng’s nominal girlfriend, although she was grateful for how the Mu Family treated her like one of their own, she felt it wasn’t appropriate to do such things, always feeling a bit strange about it.

Now that she had truly become Mu Xingfeng’s wife, she wanted to show proper filial respect to the grandparents who treated her like their own granddaughter, to Dad Mu and Mom Mu who treated her as their own, and to the elder sister who treated her like a real sibling.

After shopping for an entire day, An Ran finally picked out satisfying gifts, filling up a whole backpack. Passing by the rotating hotpot stand in the mall, she smelled the inviting aroma and then realized that she hadn’t treated her own ”five temples” all day.

Just as she was about to find a seat, a clear child’s voice reached her ears.

”Mom, let’s have hotpot today. Little Hai wants to eat this.”

An Ran looked over at the voice, only to see a five or six-year-old boy pulling his mother’s hand and pointing to the small hotpot shop beside him.

And that mother had clearly seen her, too.

Hairong saw that his mother didn’t respond to him and followed her gaze to look at An Ran. Just one glance and a spark seemed to ignite in his dark eyes.

”Mom, look, it’s that woman who stole Dad.”

The woman who stole Dad?

If it weren’t for that one sentence, An Ran might have just turned around and left upon seeing this mother and son.

Because she had no interest in interacting with such a mother and son. Mu Xingfeng had told her that Hairong and his mother were the wife and child of a comrade, and he was only helping to take care of them. She believed Mu Xingfeng.

But this mother and son clearly hadn’t adjusted their roles. Dad? Such a lovely term, so affectionate. If it weren’t for her trust in Mu Xingfeng, that term alone could have been enough to destroy a fragile marriage.

”Rong, go find a seat over there and wait for Mom. Mom has something to say to Auntie Ran.” Wang Xia didn’t expect to run into An Ran here. Last time, she had also met this girl in the mall. But back then, she had just arrived in Nan’an, her footing wasn’t stable yet, and she was worried this girl would tell Mu Xingfeng that she had come to Nan’an, so she quickly avoided her.

But this time...

Rong nodded, gave An Ran one last unfriendly look, and ran into the store to find a seat.

Wang Xia saw Rong find an empty seat and sit down before she walked towards An Ran with steps she thought were graceful.

”I never expected to see Miss An here.” Wang Xia said as she smoothed her hair, her arrogance making her seem like a completely different person from the one they had met in the Imperial City villa.

”I should be the one to say that. I never expected to see Ms. Wang in Nan’an.” An Ran maintained a calm expression, neither servile nor overbearing.

Back in the Imperial City, she had not had the confidence to express her feelings to Mu Xingfeng.

Now, with this man wholly belonging to her, she certainly wouldn’t be polite to a woman eyeing her man covetously.
