Chapter 297 - Can Only Be Friends, Absolutely Cannot Be Enemies
Chapter 297 of "Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself" begins with: The surrounding was quiet, but Chen Wanliâs heart was no longer at peace. The words... See the full story!
The surrounding was quiet, but Chen Wanliâs heart was no longer at peace. The words "Mu Xingfengâs girlfriend" echoed in his mind. If the girl was indeed Mu Xingfengâs girlfriend, handling this matter would be difficult. No matter who was right or wrong, his daughter would certainly suffer losses.
Chen Shanshan seemed to understand what her father was thinking. Worried that her father would blame her upon hearing that the girl might be Mu Xingfengâs girlfriend, she looked up and said with grievance, "Dad, donât listen to Heeâs nonsense. Itâs not certain if that girl is Brother Muâs girlfriend."
"Huh?" Chen Wanli snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his daughter.
"That woman is just an orphan that Brother Mu rescued. Brother Mu took pity on her because she was homeless and brought her to the Mu Family. But that shameless woman keeps clinging to Brother Mu."
Chen Shanshan thought it must be An Ran clinging to Mu Xingfeng. Otherwise, with the Mu Familyâs status and position, how could Mu Xingfeng fancy an orphan girl?
Chen Wanli sighed, patting Chen Shanshan on the shoulder. "Shanshan, no matter if sheâs Mu Xingfengâs girlfriend or not, just her being at the Mu Family means we canât easily provoke her. Letâs just let this matter pass."
Chen Shanshan never expected her father to have this attitude. Tears rolled down her face, and her lowered eyes burned with intense hatred.
"What?" Xue Meihua shouted from behind, "Just let it go? Chen Wanli, are you out of your mind? Our daughter was beaten like this, and you want to let it go?"
"I feel the pain too when our daughter gets hit, but who told her to provoke Mu Xingfengâs people? Do you want the Chen Family to fall over such a trivial matter?" Chen Wanli snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Regarding Mu Xingfengâs character, the others might not know, but everyone in the Imperial Cityâs business world knew well. Despite spending most of his time with the Guard Team, he managed the Mu Familyâs enterprises behind the scenes. He made major strategic decisions with swift and decisive methods. Such an imposing and formidable demeanor, coupled with his iron-fisted tactics, instilled fear in others.
Such a man could only be a friend, never an enemy, and certainly not someone to offend.
An Ran didnât know when Mu Xingfeng returned to the bedroom. When she woke up from her sleep, she found herself, unsurprisingly, rolling into Mu Xingfengâs arms again, and he held her naturally.
The manâs cold breath carried a faint fragrance, reminiscent of fresh grass, making her feel exceptionally secure in his embrace.
An Ran gently adjusted her body, looking at the close-up man under the warm bedside light.
In his sleep, he lost the harshness, his brows relaxed, without any guard, like an innocent big boy.
She couldnât help but reach out, gently stroking his thick brows, high nose, and slightly thin lips, tracing and caressing with infinite care and adoration.
She knew it. She knew all along that she had fallen in love with him. Such a man was probably irresistible to any woman.
But she also knew she wasnât worthy of him. Precisely because of his excellence, she didnât deserve to have him.
He deserved to have all the best things, deserved a perfect woman, and that person would never be her.
Mu Xingfeng, coming from a team background, was always a light sleeper. When the girl in his arms stirred, he woke up. He thought she would just adjust her position as usual, but unexpectedly felt a small hand gently caressing his cheek...
