Chapter 457: Chapter 457
As a woman in a passionate relationship, how could she not notice that An Ran’s feelings for her younger brother seemed unclear?
At first, she just thought An Ran was young and, being in the Mu Family, often hid her true feelings out of propriety.
But observing their behavior after they got their marriage certificate, she concluded that the problem lay with this young girl.
Could it be that her poor, emotionally clueless younger brother didn’t know how to make a girl happy? Thinking about him treating his girlfriend like a new recruit, she found it entirely possible.
Recently, with An Ran living at the old family residence, she clearly saw that this young girl had feelings for her younger brother. As his older sister, she decided it was time to help them out.
An Ran knew very well what Mu Wanxin meant and, without pretending, nodded and said, "You’re right, big sister. So, should I think about pouncing on Instructor Mu when he comes back?"
Ever since she decided to confess to Mu Xingfeng that day, it felt like something had broken free from its cage inside her. Despite not having the chance to talk to Mu Xingfeng yet, she no longer wanted to suppress her feelings and wanted to follow her heart for once.
"Pff," Mu Wanxin was amused by her fake serious demeanor. "You girl, you can definitely do that."
The two of them chuckled all the way to the Shen Family’s house.
There was already a servant waiting at the door of the Shen Family’s house. Seeing the two get out of the car, the servant respectfully said, "Young Madam, Miss An, please come in."
An Ran raised an eyebrow. Had the form of address already changed?
Just as they reached the door, Shen Mengya came rushing out like a mortar shell, slamming straight into An Ran’s arms. "Sister Ran, you’re here! I missed you so much!"
"Sister Ran missed you too," An Ran laughed as she rubbed Ya’s chubby little cheeks.
"Oh my, you heartless girl. That’s not what you said on the phone earlier," Mu Wanxin said jealously from the side.
"Sister-in-law, you’re family. Don’t be so petty. Sister Ran is a guest," Shen Mengya poked out her little head and teased.
At this moment, Shen Wenxuan and Shen’s mom, Xia Huiling, also walked out.
Seeing An Ran, Xia Huiling was briefly startled, then her eyes softened, "Ran is here too, come in quickly, it’s cold outside."
"Aunt Xia, brother-in-law." Having met Xia Huiling a few times, An Ran had a good impression of this graceful and elegant woman.
Everyone entered the house, and Old Mr. Shen also came downstairs. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel fire.net
"Ran is here," Old Mr. Shen scrutinized An Ran for a moment and said, "Why are you so thin? Is that Mu boy not treating you well?"
An Ran felt embarrassed. She had never expected Old Mr. Shen to ask such a question. Besides, she wasn’t thinner; she had always been this way.
"Grandpa Shen, Xingfeng treats me very well," An Ran replied.
"Grandpa, my brother is on a mission. He just left five days ago, and my sister-in-law is missing him so much that she’s lost weight," Mu Wanxin teased from the side.
"Big sister," An Ran scolded coquettishly. She was not used to joking about her and Mu Xingfeng’s relationship in front of the less familiar Shen Family members.
"Wanxin, Ran has a thin skin. Stop teasing her," Shen Wenxuan intervened.
"Alright, alright. As long as that boy is treating you well. If he dares bully you, remember to tell Grandpa Shen. Grandpa will stand up for you." Old Mr. Shen felt very reassured about Mu Xingfeng’s character and felt at ease with An Ran being part of the Mu Family.
After chatting with Old Mr. Shen for a while, An Ran and Mu Wanxin said their goodbyes, taking Shen Mengya with them. Of course, Shen Wenxuan replaced Mu Wanxin, becoming their exclusive driver and bodyguard.
Xia Huiling saw the kids off at the door and, upon returning, saw Old Mr. Shen sitting on the sofa, gazing at a yellowed photograph in his hand. His aged figure looked all the more desolate.
