Mu Xingfeng calmly wrapped his arm around his little wife, turning to walk into the house, discussing as they walked, "Wife, I’ll head back to the Guard Team later, how about you come with me? Training isn’t tight these days, so I can come home after the morning session."

"Sure, coincidentally, it’s Chief Guard Wang’s daughter’s birthday tomorrow, and Sister-in-law Song wants to bake a cake herself. She’s bought everything but doesn’t know how to make it and wants my help."

"How does she know you can bake cakes?"

"Last time she came by to deliver vegetables, I was baking egg tarts. She saw we had an oven and thought I could bake. Besides, there’s not much to do at the Guard Team, helping her can be a little fun for me." An Ran explained, worrying Mu Xingfeng might be unhappy.

"Hubby’s just worried you’ll be tired."

Jing Xiangyang, "..."

Has he been completely ignored?

"Hey, Boss, did you hear what I said? And what about my car?"

"Young Master Jing, I just called for assistance. A tow truck will be here soon. Do you want to go to Nan’an City or back to the Guard Team? I can give you a ride."

Jiang Zhuo said respectfully from the sidelines. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Go to the city? What’s the use if everyone’s been driven away?

"Take me back to the Guard Team."

Jing Xiangyang flicked his long, flowing hair and turned around, leaving what he considered a suave back, trying to appear less embarrassed.

That afternoon, An Ran and Mu Xingfeng returned to the Guard Team. Su Jin gave them several days’ worth of marinated beef and sauced beef.

Actually, An Ran could make these things too, but ever since she got together with Mu Xingfeng, her chances to cook have dwindled. Whenever Mu Xingfeng is home, he’s the one cooking while she just supervises.

Marinating beef and making sauced beef require a lot of time and effort, and they didn’t have much time either. Su Jin was skilled in preparing sauced beef; seeing that An Ran enjoyed it, she made extra for them to take to the Guard Team, also telling An Ran to call if she ever wanted something without making it herself, and Jiang Zhuo would deliver it.

Su Jin had a mental struggle when she came here to work as a nanny. If it weren’t for Jiang Zhuo, she wouldn’t have taken this step. As a retired special female Guard Team member, she had her pride.

But after coming to the Mu Family, she truly understood what Jiang Zhuo meant - in the Mu Family, there’s no distinction of high or low, she had just found a job suitable for herself.

Moreover, this job is particularly relaxed. An Ran and Mu Xingfeng rarely come to the villa; most days, it’s just her and Jiang Zhuo minding the house. Perhaps no nanny could be this relaxed.

Even when An Ran and Mu Xingfeng came back here, there’s little work to do, so she’s grateful to them both and wants to repay their trust in her.

Once at the Guard Team, Mu Xingfeng was called away by Chief Guard Wang, leaving An Ran home with nothing to do, so she took out her books and sat in the study reading.

The summer holiday slipped by busily, and this was perhaps the most fulfilling summer she’d ever had, but the time she spent reading was dismally little.

During the half-month in Qingfeng Town, she learned a lot of things not found in books. Picking up her books again, An Ran felt her mind had changed.

As dusk fell, she heard keys jingling outside. An Ran knew Mu Xingfeng was back, stretched lazily, and planned to put her books away and make dinner.

But before she could gather her books, hurried footsteps sounded, and someone was already in the study.

"Mu Xingfeng... mmm..."
