Chapter 1239: Chapter 1253: Is She Really My
The girl’s cheerful and joyful voice came from the phone, and Mu Xingfeng glanced at his bowl again, "Honey, you’re not home yet?"
Don’t ask him how he knew, just now An Ran called him husband. If she was in front of the elders of the Mu Family or the Shen Family, she wouldn’t call him husband; it was a bit noisy on the other end of the phone, and since An Ran called him like that, she definitely hadn’t reached home yet.
"Yeah, Grandpa and Grandpa-in-law were betting on which house I’d go back to, and in the end, I had no choice but to let my big sister take me out to eat, this way neither side would be offended." An Ran chatted away, clearly in a good mood.
"Honey, have you ever thought that both sides of the family are hoping you’d come back, but you’d rather eat outside? What if you offend both sides?"
Mu Xingfeng replied with a question, and sure enough, the little girl’s cheerful voice changed, "Huh? Really?"
Hearing the guilty tone in the little one’s voice, Mu Xingfeng was about to tell her he was joking when he heard his elder sister’s voice from the other end, "Little brother, bullying Ran like that, be careful I won’t let you two meet tonight. I’ll take her back to the Shen Family after dinner and directly tell Grandpa you upset her so much she went back to her parents’ house."
Mu Xingfeng, "..."
Is this even a real sister?
"Sis, I was just teasing my wife. Where are you guys? I’ll come find you later," Mu Xingfeng quickly admitted his fault, fearing Mu Wanxin would really take An Ran to the Shen Family.
Though the Shen Family has now recognized An Ran and dotes on her just like they do on Ya, he can go to the Shen Family to find his wife. But after all, in front of outsiders, it’s not as convenient as being at their own home. If possible, he would rather directly take his little wife back to the villa.
Mu Wanxin, being someone who’s been through this, knew what was on Mu Xingfeng’s mind after being apart for a month, and handed the phone back to An Ran.
"We’re at Kong Mansion Banquet Restaurant, are you coming?" An Ran asked. It was meal time, and she wasn’t sure if Mu Xingfeng had had lunch yet.
"I’m going to make a trip to headquarters to handle some things there; I won’t have lunch with you guys, but I’ll come find you once I’m back."
"Okay," An Ran replied, "After lunch, I might go to Grandpa-in-law’s house first."
Planning to return to the Mu Family in the evening, after all, she was used to staying at the Mu Family.
"Alright."
Mu Xingfeng responded softly. Their conversation then fell into silence. He wasn’t a talkative person, but even in such silence, he was reluctant to hang up the phone.
Listening to the light breathing from the other end, thinking about how close the little one was to him, Mu Xingfeng wished he could fly over right away.
As much as he was reluctant, he knew An Ran was eating, so eventually, Mu Xingfeng took the initiative to hang up the phone.
After just a few bites, Zhang Liang came in.
"Miss An, that family of three from the airport is in the lobby downstairs. Not sure if it’s a coincidence or if they followed us here."
Xiao Xiao heard and mocked, "Ha, they’re relentless, aren’t they? There are always extraordinary people every year, but this year there seems to be more than usual. Raising a child like that, aren’t they afraid they might end up educating the child into jail someday?"
"What’s going on?" Shen Wenxuan put down his chopsticks upon hearing their words. In the Imperial City, if anyone dared to show disrespect to Ran, whether it was a coincidence or intentional, he wouldn’t take it lightly.
"It’s not a big deal; it was just at the airport when returning to the Imperial City, we encountered a naughty child," An Ran recounted the airport incident to Shen Wenxuan.
