At the door, He Yushu also came out to greet them. "Wenxuan is back, come quickly inside."
"Hi Auntie, it’s cold outside, you should hurry inside too."
Once inside, there was another round of pleasantries. Grandma Mu looked at Shen Wenxuan and then at An Ran, clearly very satisfied with her grandson-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.
Shen Wenxuan chatted with Old Mr. Mu and Mu Zhenzong, noticing An Ran didn’t look well beside Grandma Mu. He mentioned to Mu Xingfeng, who was reading a military newspaper, "Is An Ran feeling unwell?"
Mu Xingfeng put down the newspaper and saw that indeed, the young girl didn’t look too good, yet she was still forcing herself to chat with Grandma Mu. He walked over.
"Do you want to go upstairs and rest?" Mu Xingfeng sat down next to An Ran and whispered in her ear.
An Ran did feel her eyelids fighting, but seeing all these people, she felt too embarrassed to leave, and gently shook her head.
"Then I’ll take you back to the villa after dinner," he said, worried she wouldn’t be able to rest well with so many people around.
Hearing "villa," An Ran remembered the little dog and looked around asking, "Where is my sister’s dog?"
Grandma Mu smiled and said, "Ran, don’t worry. The dog has been locked in the backyard by the servant. As long as you are here, there won’t be any dogs around."
Her grandson had finally found such a delicate little wife, and she couldn’t let the dog scare her away. After An Ran and the others left, Grandma Mu instructed the servants that whenever An Ran was home, the dog must be kept under control. If it weren’t for Mu Wanxin treating the dog as her lifeline, she would have given it away long ago.
An Ran felt a bit embarrassed, scratched her head and glanced at Mu Xingfeng, who recognized the competition between humans and dogs for attention. Unexpectedly, she got dragged into it too.
After dinner, Mu Xingfeng told the family he would go stay elsewhere.
The Mu Family was used to him not staying at home and didn’t think much of it. Only Grandma Mu was reluctant, repeatedly reminding Mu Xingfeng to come home for meals.
Mu Xingfeng saw that An Ran had eaten little and still looked tired and decided to leave quickly. Shen Wenxuan, Mu Wanxin, and Feng Jingjing saw them out.
Before getting into the car, Shen Wenxuan noticed An Ran frowning slightly and said, "Is Ran sick? You should call a doctor to check on her when you get back."
Mu Xingfeng hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Wenxuan, and recognized An Ran didn’t look good. But hearing these words from Shen Wenxuan annoyed him. What business did he have being so concerned about his woman?
Still, since it was about caring for An Ran, he simply responded with a grunt, got in the car, and drove away from the Mu Family.
Watching the car gradually drive away, Feng Jingjing sighed, "Is your little brother blind? Compared to Lin Ruonan, that little girl hasn’t even fully matured yet."
Mu Wanxin, unhappy with Feng Jingjing’s remarks, responded, "Jingjing, Ruonan and my brother were only suggested by our families. They have nothing going on. Now that my brother has a girlfriend, you need to watch your mouth to prevent any misunderstandings. No matter her flaws, my brother chose her."
Shen Wenxuan put his arm around Mu Wanxin’s shoulder casually, "I think she’s pretty good."
Then the two went back inside. Behind them, Feng Jingjing stuck out her tongue: It’s not just your brother who’s blind, you’re blind too.
An Ran started feeling drowsy once in the car, very tired, with a dizzy head.
Mu Xingfeng saw her little head nodding off and still trying to hold on, her face pale, worriedly asked, "Did Niuniu scare you again this morning?"
