"A girlfriend in name only?" An Ran asked, confused.
"Yes, my family has been pressuring me to marry recently. I don’t like that woman, so I need someone to act as a shield. Since you want to repay me so much, just do me this favor first."
After Mu Xingfeng finished speaking, he saw An Ran looking at him with a teasing expression.
"What? You don’t want to?" Mu Xingfeng asked with a sour face.
"No, no," An Ran laughed mischievously, "I just didn’t expect that even Instructor Mu would have such troubles."
No wonder he always wanted me to be his girlfriend. So it’s because his family is forcing him to marry someone he doesn’t like. He should’ve said so earlier.
An Ran patted her chest in a heroic manner, "Don’t worry, Instructor Mu, I’ll help you fend off those peach blossoms."
Mu Xingfeng’s lips curved as he watched her energetic demeanor, "Silly girl, change your clothes. We’re going home."
When he returned to the hospital, he had already asked the doctor. Her body was fine, and the medicine had no side effects. She could be discharged from the hospital.
At the mention of going home, An Ran’s small face immediately fell again.
Seeing her just-rejuvenated face fall again, Mu Xingfeng frowned slightly, "What’s wrong now?"
"Instructor Mu, I seem to...have no home."
The An Family wasn’t good to her, but it was what she called home. Now that the guardianship had been lifted, she was homeless.
This statement of being homeless made Mu Xingfeng’s heart ache indescribably. His woman had reached the point of being homeless. This silly girl could always easily shatter his confidence.
Mu Xingfeng gently wrapped an arm around An Ran’s shoulders, "Did you forget what our current relationship is?"
An Ran raised her head instinctively and said: "I’m your girlfriend in name. You’re my creditor."
Hearing this answer made Mu Xingfeng’s heart break. Ah, this clueless girl.
"Yes, that’s right, my girlfriend should naturally go home with me. From now on, my home is your home."
"What if I am no longer your girlfriend in name?" An Ran muttered softly. This was indeed a tricky question. She couldn’t be Mu Xingfeng’s girlfriend in name forever. He would eventually find his true love, and she would be homeless again.
Although An Ran’s voice was not loud, Mu Xingfeng heard it clearly, "Then you’ll stay at your creditor’s house to repay your debt. I’m a stingy creditor. Don’t think about leaving until you clear your debt."
An Ran didn’t expect him to hear her muttering and to her surprise, Instructor Mu could make jokes too. She raised her small face, defiantly countered, "Creditor boss, don’t forget your words."
"Silly girl," Mu Xingfeng affectionately ruffled her long hair, "Go change your clothes. I’ll handle the discharge paperwork."
Even when they boarded the helicopter, An Ran still felt everything was so surreal and felt a bit nervous, "Instructor Mu, is it okay for me to just show up in front of your family ?"
After all, the engagement arranged for Instructor Mu should have been carefully chosen by his family. Although she was prepared to deal with his family’s problems as his shield, she was worried that her sudden appearance might cause unpleasantness between him and his family.
Mu Xingfeng knew what she was worried about and rubbed her small head, "No, it’s all on me."
He wouldn’t let her face any grievances since she was the one he brought back.
"Oh," An Ran responded softly, not speaking any further. But a moment later, she suddenly looked up.
