Chapter 389: Chapter 389

At this moment, the phone rang.

"Second Brother, it’s me, have you slept yet?"

Gu Haoyu’s voice came from the phone.

"Brother, what’s up?" The man sounded lazy like a big cat, with a hint of hoarseness and mystique.

The other person clearly paused for a moment, then cleared his throat lightly, "Second Brother, you must know what happened tonight, right?"

"Yes," Mu Xingfeng responded over the phone.

"Second Brother, this matter was caused by Old Mr. Lin, but it’s for Ruonan. Ruonan has realized her mistake, and she will explain everything to Old Mr. Lin. As for An Ran, I’ll take her to apologize to Ranran tomorrow."

Mu Xingfeng seemed to have expected this outcome, responded with an okay, and then hung up the phone.

"Damn, what’s the relationship between Brother and Lin Ruonan?" An Ran sat up excitedly.

Earlier, she always felt something strange between Gu Haoyu and Lin Ruonan. Saying that he cared about Lin Ruonan because of his feelings towards Lin Junyang was possible, but Sun Wangbei and Chen Yankun did not treat Lin Ruonan particularly well.

Moreover, several times, she saw Gu Haoyu standing behind Lin Ruonan in a very peculiar posture, not exactly ambiguous, but somewhat overly concerned.

At this moment, with Gu Haoyu calling Mu Xingfeng, even if she were slow, she could sense the unusual relationship between Gu Haoyu and Lin Ruonan.

Mu Xingfeng pulled her to his side, slapped her on the buttocks, "Girls shouldn’t say dirty words."

An Ran propped herself up by his shoulder, her eyes still filled with excitement, "Why do I smell a scent of adultery?"

Mu Xingfeng raised his eyebrow, confirming her guess.

"If Brother and Lin Ruonan get together, wouldn’t that eliminate your greatest concern? This would be a win-win situation." An Ran’s big eyes narrowed into slits, clearly in a good mood.

Mu Xingfeng’s deep eyes darkened, wife, if you and I are together, then that would be true happiness, but don’t worry, I will work hard towards this goal.

After a tiring day, An Ran fell asleep after drinking ginger tea.

Looking at the girl’s serene face, Mu Xingfeng’s heart was full.

He set aside the documents, dimmed the light, gently hugged the girl in his arms. For the past twenty-six years, he had been used to sleeping alone, but now with warmth and softness in his embrace, it felt not only physically but also somewhere within him, warm.

In the pitch-black night, branches swayed on the window, the roaring north wind blew, making sharp sounds like ghosts wailing.

In the corner, occasionally a mouse scurried by, touching bottles and cans in the corner, making intermittent noises, scaring the mice into fleeing and creating even louder noises.

"Instructor Mu... Mu Xingfeng..."

Extreme fear prevented thinking, the mind could only hold this one name.

Suddenly the scene changed, grandma was lying stiffly on the ground, one hand tightly clutching a small cloth bag, which contained freshly bought snacks—her favorite glutinous rice cake... Chapters first released on ɴovelfire.net

"You wretch, you killed your grandma..."

"Ran, you are so thoughtless, how could you let your grandma accompany you for exams in such hot weather?"

"Sister, despite grandma being so good to you, how could you bear to have her accompany you all day, leading to her dying from the heat?"

"You killed your grandma, it’s all your fault..."

"You’re just a bad luck girl, a bad luck girl..."

Faces either angry or mocking appeared before her, pointing at her.

"No... It’s not me... Instructor Mu... I’m not... Mu Xingfeng..."

Painful mumblings were heard beside, Mu Xingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, to see the girl beside him muttering in her sleep, her face scrunched up, forehead covered in sweat, obviously having a nightmare.

Damn it, she’s really scared.

"An Ran, Ranran... Wake up..."

The man gently called in a low voice.

The girl opened her blurry eyes, tears glistening at the corners. Seeing the man in front of her, the fear in her eyes gradually dispersed, she burrowed into his embrace, her voice carrying a trace of unsure grievance, "Instructor Mu, what would I do without you?"

The man’s body stiffened suddenly. She said, what would she do without him? The words filled with dependency made his heart leap with joy. His little girl actually depended on him this much.

Mu Xingfeng tightened his arms around her, his deep voice carrying firmness, "I won’t, I won’t leave you."

At the Lin Family house, Lin Weidong pondered all night. Being in his position for many years, many things couldn’t escape his eyes.

Despite last night’s chaos, he still saw the guilt on his daughter’s face. Although his father took the blame, it’s likely not that simple.

Now the Mu Family’s attitude is clear. Mu Xingfeng has someone he likes, he absolutely won’t allow his excellent daughter to go wrong in her relationship.
