CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 321: JUST FOND OF THIS TRICK

"Second Brother, it’s the weekend tomorrow. Bring your little sister-in-law out to play, or else there won’t be another chance this year."

Mu Xingfeng glanced at a certain someone whose eyes brightened upon hearing the word "play," and responded, "Alright."

With the year-end approaching, there were many company affairs to handle, compounded by dealing with the Chen Family matters. He had spent less time at home, and the little girl was truly bored.

"Okay, see you at the usual spot tomorrow," Chen Yankun said before hanging up the phone.

When Mu Xingfeng ended the call, An Ran poked her small head out from his embrace, propped her hands against his muscular chest, and with sparkling eyes, asked, "Instructor Mu, are we going out to play tomorrow?"

"Hmm," Mu Xingfeng nodded indifferently.

After waiting for a while without hearing the next sentence, An Ran continued to ask, "Are you taking me?"

Seeing the little girl clearly wanting to go but still being cautious, Mu Xingfeng knew exactly what was on her mind and directly replied, "No."

"Ah? Why? How could you go out to play without your girlfriend? Instructor Mu, I think as your shield, I can’t be absent at times like these, don’t you think?"

Ever since arriving in the Imperial City, apart from the first day when Mu Xingfeng took her to a mall, they’ve stayed in the villa. An Ran had finally wanted to go out to watch a movie but ended up getting into a random fight. Since then, Mu Xingfeng hadn’t allowed her to go out alone, and she felt like she was about to mold if she kept staying in.

"Are you sure your little frame can shield arrows and not me shielding you?" Mu Xingfeng disdainfully looked An Ran up and down.

An Ran puffed out her small chest, slightly raising her chin, "Of course I can, Instructor Mu. Ever since practicing military boxing with you, I haven’t felt dizzy, my eyes aren’t blurry, and I have the strength to climb stairs."

Mu Xingfeng crossed his arms, looking at the boastful little woman in front of him, his lips curled into a faint smile.

An Ran felt her scalp tingling under his stare, finally drooping her head, her two small hands unintentionally clasping her nails together, "Alright, Instructor Mu, I promise, next time I’ll train properly with you in military boxing and won’t slack off anymore, okay?"

"Good, remember what you said today."

Mu Xingfeng felt he’d achieved his goal and relaxed.

This little brat, ever since she agreed to train in military boxing with him, only managed to seriously stick with it the first day. Every following session ended halfway with her whining and being unbearably delicate.

If she were one of his new soldiers, she’d have been punished severely long ago.

But here, seeing her sweat-drenched hair in the winter and her little face turned pale with exhaustion, he just couldn’t bring himself to be harsh.

Especially whenever she didn’t want to train, the little girl would roll around, act cute, and pretend to be pitiful. Clearly knowing she was putting on an act, he still fell for it.

As a result, the little girl exploited his weakness, and now, aside from running two kilometers, she hardly practiced military boxing.

He never realized how unprincipled he could be, utterly defenseless against her sweet talk.

So, he had to use this method, hoping she would keep her promise.

If Mu Xingfeng had known that An Ran, once she lifted the seal, would further master the art of rolling, acting cute, and pretending to be pitiable to the extreme, and even use her charms, he probably... wouldn’t be able to do anything about it either.

Early the next morning, An Ran kept her promise relatively well, getting up on time for morning training with Mu Xingfeng.

After breakfast, Mu Xingfeng’s phone rang. While he answered, he gestured for An Ran to go change clothes.
