Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 875 - 885: Uncle Lu

It wasn’t until the bodyguards escorted the three people away that the party resumed in an orderly manner.

An Ran stood up with her wine glass and walked over to Lu Zhenting, raising her glass, "Thank you, Uncle Lu, for helping me out earlier."

The term "Uncle Lu" not only recognized Lu Zhenting’s status but also expressed gratitude for the earlier incident.

Similarly, being called "Uncle Lu" made Lu Zhenting’s eyes flicker for a moment. The wife of the esteemed Young Master Mu of the Imperial City calling him Uncle gave him great face, especially since the woman in front of him was still the sole shareholder of the Wenshan Group, which was under the Mu Family. Being called Uncle was indeed a high compliment.

Despite the waves stirring in his heart, Lu Zhenting responded with a gentle smile, "Girl, are you saying Uncle Lu’s party isn’t classy enough, letting just anyone in?"

His words made several people laugh, and An Ran felt even more embarrassed, "Uncle Lu, I was just upset with those people; please don’t take it seriously. This drink is my toast to you."

Lu Zhenting also laughed and downed his wine in one go, "Good, you and Xiao Xiao enjoy yourselves, no need to be polite. Lu Yi, take care of your two classmates."

Dropping the "Miss Xiao" title and calling her by name while asking Lu Yi to look after them also brought everyone closer.

After Lu Zhenting left, Xiao Xiao spoke, "Ranran, if you ask me, you’re just too kind. People like Sun Xuehui, you should really teach them a lesson, or else they’ll always think you’re easy to bully."

"Don’t worry, they probably won’t bother me again. In some ways, I’m grateful to them. If it weren’t for their treatment of me, I wouldn’t have met Instructor Mu."

If she hadn’t decided to run away from home that time, how would she have encountered Mu Xingfeng, swept away by the flood, and all the subsequent entanglements? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xiao Xiao reached out and touched An Ran’s forehead, "Ranran, have you gone too long without seeing Instructor Mu and started having delusions? Don’t become a saint, you know I’m the most disdainful of saintly pretenders."

Lu Yi looked at the two of them with a grievance, "I’ve just been fed a mouthful of dog food."

...

On Sunday, An Ran finally got news from Mu Xingfeng; he was the one who called her.

However, when the call came in, An Ran was in the dormitory.

Xiao Xiao, that fellow, somehow managed to fall ill after coming back from the party. She started running a high fever in the middle of the night, and by morning, it still hadn’t subsided. Just as An Ran was considering asking Zhang Liang or Fang Hui to drag her to the hospital, her phone rang.

"Hey, honey, where are you? Your husband is back. I’ll be heading into the city soon."

The man’s deep, sexy voice carried a hint of fatigue through the phone, revealing that he probably called her at the first opportunity after finishing training.

"Mu Xingfeng, you don’t need to rush. I’m still at school now, Xiao Xiao is sick, and I’m taking care of her," An Ran felt a bit frustrated, as even if Mu Xingfeng returned home, she couldn’t just leave Xiao Xiao behind.

"Xiao Xiao is sick? What’s going on?" the man asked.

"I don’t know, maybe she took a cold shower after we got back yesterday. She started having a fever in the middle of the night and refuses to go to the hospital. She’s just taken some antipyretic medicine. If things don’t improve, I’ll ask Fang Hui to help me take her to the hospital this afternoon." Xiao Xiao rarely gets sick, but this time it came on strongly.

"Doesn’t your dormitory have hot water? What about you? Did you take a cold shower too?" the man’s tone grew noticeably colder.
