Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 779 - 792: Return to the Imperial City

"Today, I’m sitting right here, what are you gonna do about it?"

An Ran watched the two in front of her, who were constantly bickering despite their affections, feeling speechless. She rubbed her forehead and silently took out a pack of sunflower seeds, starting to snack.

To be honest, she really wanted to praise Xiao Xiao. When dealing with someone as proud and stubborn as Lin Junyang, one shouldn’t be polite with him.

Sure enough, seeing Xiao Xiao’s unreasonable stance, Lin Junyang was out of moves. He glared at Xiao Xiao fiercely, snorted coldly, and started the car.

Xiao Xiao didn’t back down either and glared back, then picked up a snack and popped it into her mouth, chewing loudly.

The car smoothly hit the road, but instead of heading towards the airport, it directly got onto the highway towards the Imperial City.

"Brother Yang, aren’t we going to the airport?" They always flew back to the Imperial City before.

Lin Junyang glanced at the woman next to him and said disdainfully, "I only booked tickets for you and me."

Upon hearing this, An Ran slapped her forehead, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you yesterday that Xiao Xiao is coming too. Sorry, Brother Yang."

She had told Mu Xingfeng that Xiao Xiao would be heading to the Imperial City with them, assuming Mu Xingfeng would inform Lin Junyang.

"No worries, Tuzi. We can still book now. I just find it troublesome, and coincidentally, I wanted to practice my driving skills and stamina; it’s been a while since I drove long-distance."

He then looked at Xiao Xiao again, full of disdain, "You get motion sickness, but you won’t get carsick, right? If you get carsick, don’t throw up in my car. If you do, you’re dead."

Upon hearing that they wouldn’t be flying, Xiao Xiao immediately perked up. She was terrified of flying and sailing; the feeling of motion sickness was incredibly unpleasant.

Ignoring Lin Junyang’s tone, she said, "Don’t worry, I don’t get carsick. I promise I won’t throw up... ugh..."

As she forced out a dry heave, Lin Junyang’s face turned pale, almost slamming the brakes on the highway.

Seeing Lin Junyang’s frightened expression, Xiao Xiao lifted her head and laughed out loud, "Just messing with you. Look how scared you are."

"Xiao Xiao——"

When they arrived in the Imperial City, the sunset colored half of the sky.

Xiao Xiao leaned against the car window, looking at the forsythia flowers beside the road, her eyes filled with smiles.

Lin Junyang glanced sideways and unintentionally saw the girl’s face stained by the sunset, red like a ripe apple in September. Her curved eyes were soft enough to melt, and her petal-like lips were slightly curled, with a faint dimple at the corner.

Feeling someone watching her, Xiao Xiao withdrew her gaze from the window and glanced at Lin Junyang. Seeing the man focused on driving, she scratched her head out of boredom. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Ranran, where are we going tonight? To Instructor Mu’s place or your house?"

She knew that An Ran and Mu Xingfeng had their own place in the Imperial City.

"Grandpa and Grandma know I’m coming back today, so we have to go to the old house. Don’t worry, they are very kind and will welcome you."

An Ran knew that Xiao Xiao was a bit nervous about meeting the Mu Family, as their identity and status were something people like them could only look up to. If it weren’t for being forced into the Mu Family because of those twenty million by Mu Xingfeng, An Ran herself would be trembling.

But unexpectedly, the Mu Family was genuinely nice, without those aristocratic airs or any pretenses.

"Oh," Xiao Xiao hummed softly and continued to sit obediently, looking out the window.

Lin Junyang glanced at her again and realized for the first time that this tough girl who challenged everyone could also have moments of fear.
