The sudden chill made An Ran slightly startled, she was still not quite used to such intimate gestures with him.
Mu Xingfeng naturally felt the reaction of the little girl in his arms but ignored it. He kissed her fluffy little head and asked softly, "Feeling better?"
"Hmm, much better, not dizzy at all." An Ran said while breaking free from his embrace, as if to prove it to him, she shook her little head a few times.
Mu Xingfeng was amused by the childish actions of the little girl, took a step forward, and lifted her up by the waist.
"Ah—" An Ran screamed in fright, instinctively wrapping her hands around Mu Xingfeng’s neck, her face full of fear: "Instructor Mu".
"The floor is cold, you’re still sick and you walk barefoot on the ground, you need a spanking." Mu Xingfeng said with a stern face.
An Ran shrank her neck in fear, and mumbled softly, "The house is warm, the floor is warm too, it feels very comfortable to step on."
She grew up in the south, where there was no heating, let alone floor heating. When she first got off the bed, she also worried about the cold floor, but there were no slippers for her in the house, and it was too troublesome to put on boots, so she simply went barefoot.
Unexpectedly, when her feet touched the floor, it wasn’t cold but warm instead, making her instantly like the feeling.
"Not allowed," Mu Xingfeng deliberately kept a stern face. The little girl didn’t take good care of her body; he had only been away for a little over a month, and she was already malnourished and having low blood pressure. He wouldn’t allow her to do anything that could harm her body.
"Oh," An Ran pouted in grievance in his arms, quietly thinking: authoritarianism.
Mu Xingfeng directly carried An Ran downstairs. Dinner was already prepared. Although Liu Hu had seen Mu Xingfeng holding a little girl before, he was still dumbfounded seeing Mu Xingfeng carrying the little girl downstairs.
"Go, bring the slippers," Mu Xingfeng glanced at Liu Hu and said.
"Let me do it." A woman’s voice came from the kitchen, it was the nanny from the old house, Nanny Chen.
Nanny Chen took out a pair of women’s slippers from the shoe cabinet while explaining to An Ran, "Old Mrs. Mu heard that Miss An was sick, afraid the servants here might not take good care of Miss An, she specially sent me over. If there’s anything you need in the future, Miss An, just let me know."
It was only then that An Ran noticed that there wasn’t a single maid in the whole villa. She didn’t expect Mu Xingfeng not only to have an ascetic temperament but also to be . No wonder the Mu Family was anxious to arrange a marriage for him.
"Thank you, Nanny Chen," An Ran said politely.
"This is what I should do, Miss An doesn’t need to be so polite." Nanny Chen followed Old Mrs. Mu when she was young and watched Mu Xingfeng grow up. She also liked this little girl whom the young master brought back, especially seeing her being polite to everyone without any airs, appearing particularly friendly. She felt the young master’s taste was indeed different.
Just as Mu Xingfeng put An Ran down on the chair, his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was a call from his brother, Gu Haoyu, and answered it directly.
"Brother, what’s up?"
After handing An Ran a pair of chopsticks, the little girl pointed to the bathroom direction and then ran to the bathroom. He put down the chopsticks and walked to the window with the phone.
"Junyang and Ruonan are coming back tomorrow, their flight is at ten in the morning. If you’re free, let’s go to the airport to pick them up together." Gu Haoyu said briefly on the other side.
