Bringing the Little Crown Prince on a Parenting Reality Show — I'm Cleared of All Scandals!-Chapter 83: Eye-Burning
Self-pity simply doesn’t exist in Mu Ran’s world.
Mu Dixin was getting a headache from her narcissistic comments, "I can’t be bothered with you. When you marry into the Xiao Family and get bullied, don’t blame me."
"Hah, who’s going to bully who is still undecided," Mu Ran snorted coldly.
Mu Dixin: "..."
I actually can’t refute that.
With Mu Ran’s personality, she has never been wronged since childhood, living by the motto: If you make my life difficult, I’ll make sure to ruin yours.
"How long have you been seeing each other?"
"Not long, not even two months," Mu Ran replied.
"Alright then," Mu Dixin didn’t feel like dealing with Xiao Yu’an now. He thought being in the same room as his sister would drive him mad, so he couldn’t care less about anyone else, "Just let me know when you decide to get married."
"We’ll see."
Marriage wasn’t even a certainty yet.
Mu Ran still felt she was young.
She wasn’t about to enter the trap of marriage so early.
Mu Dixin didn’t see any signs of Xiao Yu’an bullying her, so he stopped targeting him, "I’m leaving now, take good care of her."
"Mhm," Xiao Yu’an nodded.
Mu Dixin checked his watch; he had a meeting to attend. Since Mu Ran had a boyfriend, he decided not to stick around, but once he stepped out, he messaged his wife, "Mu Ran is so harsh. She said I’m old, ugly, and have a bad temper!"
Feng Qikuo was looking at paintings and replied, "In my heart, you’ll always be young, handsome, and gentle."
Seeing the message, Mu Dixin’s brows and eyes filled with a smile, "You’re the same, young, attractive, and gentle. Love you."
After sending a bunch of heart emojis.
Mu Dixin finally felt happy.
Just because Mu Ran couldn’t see well doesn’t mean everyone else couldn’t, especially his wife, who had the best taste!!!
Feng Qikuo looked at the message and shook her head helplessly.
He’s so...
Childish.
After sending him lots of kisses, Feng Qikuo continued to listen to a master explaining something. Honestly, she felt like her soul was being cleansed here, it was so full of artistic atmosphere, utterly incompatible with her worldly spirit.
A loving couple.
While a young couple faced relationship problems.
Xiao Yu’an was still sullen.
Mu Ran asked cluelessly, "Why aren’t you happy? I didn’t even get mad when I heard your grandpa is setting you up for blind dates."
"Why aren’t you mad?" Xiao Yu’an asked in return.
"Because..." Mu Ran paused, then said, "Because I trust you."
"Really?"
Possessiveness is an important element in love.
Clearly, Mu Ran had no possessiveness towards him, nor any plans of marriage.
Xiao Yu’an pulled out an apple he bought along with breakfast this morning and began peeling it for her.
The fruit knife in his hand accentuated his slender hands, and the apple peel fell in neat circles with his swift, decisive movements.
The man’s profile was sharp and clear, with black fringe falling over his forehead, deep in focus, lips slightly pressed.
Indeed, a good-looking face.
Mu Ran swallowed, unsure if she was craving the apple or the person.
"Have some fruit."
Mu Ran took it and bluntly asked him, "Are you mad?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Really."
She hadn’t fallen in love with him yet.
But since they were together, it was her who initiated it.
So she better not think about running away!
His eyes were dark as night, with an air of certainty hidden slightly by his lashes.
Mu Ran felt like she was being stared down by a wolf, biting into the apple, letting out a crunchy sound.
Ah, whatever.
If it works, stay together; if not, break up.
Two days passed by quickly, and it was time for Mu Ran to be discharged from the hospital. Her brother and Xiao Yu’an came to pick her up.
Mu Dixin warned, "Be careful out there, don’t just carelessly wander around without paying attention like an idiot, use your brain, don’t be as stupid as a rock!"
"Haha, you think the whole world is like you, with brains filled with dragon fruit seeds?" Mu Ran quipped, "Alright, alright, I’m heading to work now, you guys go do your own things."
Mu Ran now had the bandages from her entire head removed, leaving just a small bandage over her stitched area,
Mu Ran stretched out her hand to hug Xiao Yu’an. He looked a bit embarrassed, glanced at Mu Dixin, then hugged Mu Ran anyway.
Mu Dixin: "!!!!"
What did that look mean?
Provoking me?
Mu Ran saw how handsome her boyfriend was and couldn’t resist cupping his face for a kiss.
Xiao Yu’an’s cheeks turned slightly red.
Mu Dixin: "!!!!"
"Mu Ran, can’t you show some restraint?"
"Nope." Mu Ran replied confidently. Why wouldn’t she kiss her boyfriend when she wanted to?
Mu Dixin found the sight hurtful to his eyes and didn’t want to deal with the young couple, heading out straight away.
He did this to himself coming to see Mu Ran!
"Pfft." Seeing her brother annoyed made Mu Ran overly happy.
Xiao Yu’an couldn’t comprehend the relationship between Mu Ran and Mu Dixin, saying they didn’t care about each other wasn’t true at all, but neither said a nice word to the other.
They wholly took pleasure in infuriating each other.
And Mu Dixin always ended up losing.
Xiao Yu’an gently ruffled Mu Ran’s head, "I rushed back this time and didn’t bring you a gift; I’ll get you something next time."
"You coming home is the best gift." Mu Ran kissed him again, "Remember to miss me."
"Okay."
Xiao Yu’an’s heart raced, his gaze sticking to her, unable to move.
"I have a plane to catch soon, need to go," Mu Ran said reluctantly.
She needed to check out some filming locations and had also scheduled a batch of supporting role auditions.
"You go ahead," Xiao Yu’an sent her off.
But didn’t board a flight back abroad, instead went to see Mr. Xiao.
"What’s up?" Xiao Yu’an sat opposite Mr. Xiao, looking quite impatient.
"You told me you had a girlfriend a while back, and all this time you never brought her for me to meet. I knew you were lying, so I found a few girls for you. You don’t need to take over the family business, but you need to shoulder the responsibilities, otherwise, even if your brother takes over, you won’t have a place in this world," Mr. Xiao said earnestly.
Xiao Yu’an was indifferent, "The Xiao Family has been declining for years; you think the girl you found could be another Jiang Zaihong?"
"So what do you want me to do? I offered you a good education and funds, and you took off abroad to have fun." Mr. Xiao banged his cane on the ground, his anger rising, "I’ve spoiled you too much, leading to this unruliness."
Xiao Yu’an wondered why the old man was so eager to pass everything along.
Just then, someone informed Mr. Xiao, Father Xiao had returned.
Father Xiao stormed into Mr. Xiao’s study, lashing out at Xiao Yu’an, "I should never have had a son like you! Missing my birthday and now you’re back, for what reason!!!"
"Then I’ll leave," Xiao Yu’an got up and left, not up for dealing with scoldings.
Father Xiao was dumbfounded.
