"Since that’s the case, I’m relieved. I’ll head back now. Take Ranran to visit me when you have time."
After Gu Haoyu finished speaking, he didn’t stay long and left the villa.
When Mu Xingfeng returned after sending Gu Haoyu off, he saw An Ran standing at the staircase, her large eyes glistening as she looked at him.
Did she just wake up? Or did she hear my conversation with Brother?
In fact, An Ran did hear the conversation between Gu Haoyu and Mu Xingfeng. She had woken up when the servant came in, but had pretended to be asleep since Mu Xingfeng was by her side and she didn’t know how to face him.
Once Mu Xingfeng left the bedroom, she got up too.
When Gu Haoyu mentioned the disappearance of Miss Feng at the bar’s entrance, she thought of the scene she witnessed there. As for Feng Jingjing’s plight, An Ran felt no sympathy, nor could she muster any.
Back at Mu Wanxin’s engagement banquet, Feng Jingjing had schemed against her and Shen Wenxuan. Yet, Wanxin treated her as a close friend, almost like a sister, and had always looked out for the Feng Family’s business.
This kind of person, with such a dark and extreme mindset, should be grateful that Wanxin showed her mercy after the wedding banquet. From now on, as long as it didn’t concern Mu Xingfeng, it had nothing to do with her.
"Just in time, the food is ready. I was just about to call you down for dinner."
Mu Xingfeng was the first to speak. Liu Hu had already sent Wang Xia and her son away and had brought Nanny Chen back from the old house. At this moment, Nanny Chen was serving the dishes on the table.
An Ran responded, walking downstairs while keeping her eyes on Mu Xingfeng. Official source is novel•fire.net
After going upstairs earlier, she thought for a long time, recounting everything that had happened since meeting Mu Xingfeng.
She realized that in the short span of half a year, Mu Xingfeng had become deeply ingrained in her heart.
Especially with Wang Xia’s appearance today, she finally understood that Mu Xingfeng’s place in her heart had likely surpassed anyone else’s.
When she came down, she made a decision that she couldn’t go on any longer. She couldn’t selfishly take advantage of Instructor Mu’s feelings for her anymore.
She wanted to respond to him, to express the love she had buried in her heart.
If a moment ago she was wondering whether she had enough courage to reveal her bleeding heart to Mu Xingfeng, now the answer was... yes.
She wanted to confess, because this was Mu Xingfeng. Even if he would despise her, she couldn’t be selfish any longer.
Instead of heading to the dining table, An Ran walked straight toward Mu Xingfeng, who was sitting on the sofa.
Gazing at the noble and elegant man on the sofa, the few steps felt like crossing a century to An Ran.
Mu Xingfeng also sensed the girl approaching. When he looked up, he met her bright, glistening eyes.
Seeing him looking at her, An Ran lightly pursed her lips, her heart racing wildly as her small hands clenched tightly together.
"Ranran, what’s wrong?"
As Mu Xingfeng spoke, his eyes were fixed on her small hands, a habitual gesture of hers. Seeing this, a knot formed in his heart.
"Instructor Mu, I want to talk to you." An Ran walked over and sat beside Mu Xingfeng.
Mu Xingfeng lightly cleared his throat and stood up, "Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after dinner."
With that, he walked to the dining table first.
Watching his back, a voice inside An Ran screamed to call out to him, to tell him, but her body relaxed instead.
The meal was silent, with neither of them speaking. Mu Xingfeng occasionally put food on her plate, while An Ran kept her head down, behaving unusually obediently.
Finally, dinner was over. Nanny Chen cleared the dishes, Mu Xingfeng focused on his laptop, working on something, while An Ran sat to the side, her hands twisting constantly.
