Grandma Mu’s eyes lit up after hearing Old Mr. Mu’s words, "You should have said this earlier."
It turns out the old man didn’t disapprove of that girl; he was just playing mind games with his grandson. This old fox almost deceived her as well. She was genuinely worried that the old man would break up these two kids for the Lin Family’s sake.
Mu Xingfeng drove An Ran to the biggest shopping mall in the Imperial City, which was also under the Mu Family’s name.
Although the Mu Family was involved in the military and politics, they also dabbled in business. Mu Wanxin had been working hard in the business world.
Outsiders only knew Mu Xingfeng as a tough military man, but little did they know he was also a business expert. The Mu Family’s industries were actually operated by him behind the scenes, and under his management, these industries had long become crucial economic lifelines for the Imperial City and even the entire Empire.
This was also why Mu Wanxin was so elated when he took over the company affairs.
In Mu Wanxin’s eyes, the complex company affairs were as easy as pie for Mu Xingfeng.
Even though this mall was a Mu Family asset, Mu Xingfeng had only visited it once the day before it opened and had never set foot there since. Now, the mall had developed into the largest and most prosperous shopping hub in the Imperial City.
The mall housed various high-end brands, and its daily foot traffic and turnover were astonishing.
Mu Xingfeng led An Ran directly to the women’s clothing section on the third floor. Just as they stepped out of the elevator, his phone rang.
Taking out his phone, he saw it was a call from the army. There was no need to ask; they must have learned about his discharge from the hospital.
Mu Xingfeng pointed to one side and said to An Ran, "You go ahead and browse, I need to take this call."
An Ran obediently nodded, "Go ahead."
Back in Pingxi, she often accompanied Sun Xuehui and her daughter shopping. Later, when she moved to Nan’an, she would also go shopping with Xiao Xiao during weekends.
What girl doesn’t love beauty? Even without enough money, their passion for beauty couldn’t be dampened. Savoring the shopping atmosphere was also nice.
Back in Pingxi, she had heard from Sun Xuehui and her daughter that if one visited the Imperial City, this mall was a must-visit. Indeed, the mall they talked about was the one she was in now.
Looking at the vast mall and the various branded clothes, An Ran couldn’t resist wanting to try some on.
In reality, she had comforted Mu Xingfeng by saying she wasn’t cold at the Mu Family. After all, she grew up in the south, and the northern winters were harsh and freezing. The moment she stepped off the helicopter, she was chilled to the bone, but she endured it due to the crowd.
And her clothes were all bought based on southern weather, with the thickest being a light down jacket and a woolen coat. Considering she would be staying with Mu Xingfeng for more than a month, she decided to buy a thicker down jacket and a couple of heavy sweaters.
In the window of a famous brand store, An Ran immediately fell in love with a pure white down jacket.
When she was with her grandmother, she always liked light-colored clothes that looked clean and neat on her.
After returning to the city and living with the An Family, An Sijia saw that she looked good in light-colored clothes and started buying light-colored clothes herself. She even forbade An Ran from wearing light colors, forcing most of her wardrobe to turn black.
Now that she had cut ties with the An Family and no longer had to live under that mother and daughter’s thumb, she could finally wear the colors she liked again.
An Ran walked in and asked the sales assistant to take down the coat for her to try on.
Just as she accepted the coat from the sales assistant, she heard some people talking behind her.
