Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 847 - 857: You’re Not Allowed to Accept Gifts from Other Men
"Even an uncle isn’t allowed. Wifey, you mustn’t accept gifts from other men in the future," the man said domineeringly.
An Ran snatched the whistle away, rolling her eyes at him. "You’re too much, fine, at most I won’t blow it anymore, I’ll just keep it as a toy. This is a gesture from an uncle, I can’t just throw it away, besides, I really like this whistle."
"If you like it, your husband will make you one later. Your husband has plenty of bullet shells to spare," Mu Xingfeng said, hugging her from behind.
"No need, one whistle is enough. If you want to give me a gift, make it something new," An Ran thought for a moment and added, "Why don’t you give me a gift for my birthday, Aunt Xia told me the date."
An Ran had never really celebrated her birthday growing up. Today, Xia Yuzhu spoke to her about her mother and the day she was born.
"Alright," Mu Xingfeng agreed immediately, no longer fussing about the whistle. He planned to give his wife a unique birthday gift.
"Wifey, after the day after tomorrow, I need to return to the team for a drill. It’ll be about half a month."
"Oh," An Ran responded absentmindedly, her eyes still glued to the whistle, seemingly wanting to study how it was made.
Hearing the girl’s half-hearted response, Mu Xingfeng emphasized again, "Wifey, we won’t be able to see each other for half a month."
"Mm, I know. Don’t worry, I’ll be staying obediently at school. If I go out, I’ll take Zhang Liang and Fang Hui with me. Go on and focus on the drill; I’ll be fine."
Not waiting for Mu Xingfeng to speak further, An Ran preemptively echoed what he was about to say as reassurance.
"Wifey?" Mu Xingfeng straightened her small body, making her look him in the eye.
"Hmm?" An Ran was puzzled, thinking he had something else to say, but then she heard him speak with restrained emotion.
"Wifey, would marrying me be a grievance for you?"
This was a question he’d always wanted to ask. Many girls didn’t want to marry a guard because they couldn’t bear the loneliness.
They only saw each other a few times a year, often facing life’s challenges alone when they most needed their husband.
Behind the seemingly glamorous lives of guards’ families are tears of blood, hardship, and solitude endured so their men could achieve greater accomplishments.
He wanted to give her the best but ended up leading her down a challenging path.
An Ran knew what he was worried about. She smiled playfully and sincerely, "Mu Xingfeng, marrying you is the smartest decision of my life. I love you, love everything about you, I’ve never felt wronged."
With her soft and gentle voice, sincere smile, and eyes bright as shattered stars, she was dazzling.
How could he not love someone like this?
"By the way, wifey, I have some fairly good news. Want to hear it?" During dinner, Mu Xingfeng suddenly said.
An Ran gave him a piece of food and pouted slightly, "Mu Xingfeng, you’re speaking more and more in riddles. If you want to say it, then just say it. If not, then don’t say anything. Just don’t ask for my opinion and then expect me to reward you."
Mu Xingfeng touched his nose, realizing that using the same trick too often wasn’t working. He didn’t beat around the bush and said, "I originally made an appointment with General Chief Guard Lin to visit the headquarters, but later went to the Lin Family’s old house instead. Only then did I realize today was a big day."
"Hmm?" An Ran thought about it; today is the 2nd, nothing special about that date.
Seeing her clueless look, Mu Xingfeng continued, "The Gu Family went to the Lin Family to propose an engagement."
"You mean Brother proposed to Ruonan?" That indeed is good news.
Although Lin Ruonan previously caused some misunderstandings between her and Mu Xingfeng and even tripped her up because she liked Mu Xingfeng,
it’s truly a testament to Lin Ruonan’s deep loyalty and love that she could wholeheartedly love someone for twenty years.
