Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Meeting the Brother-in-Law

“OK.” Mu Ran was eating various supplements.

Mu Dixin was eating cheap takeout, and under his sister’s watchful gaze, he finished the takeout she despised, “If I get diarrhea tonight, it’s definitely because of you.”

“Serves you right!” Mu Ran smiled slightly, “You guys should leave soon, I can’t sleep with you here.”

The two were helpless.

Mu Dixin still arranged for a caregiver for Mu Ran, so that she would have help if needed, and before leaving, he didn’t forget to say, “Remember to call if anything comes up.”

“Got it.” Mu Ran responded indifferently, holding her phone and replying to various messages from variety show guests, refusing anyone’s visit.

She didn’t know that Mu Dixin stayed at the door for a while longer, and only left with peace of mind after seeing her laugh at anime, but meanwhile had arranged many bodyguards around.

Back at the old mansion, Mu Dixin started dealing with the human traffickers, using connections to lock them in prison for life, and… causing them unimaginable suffering.

Today he got the news of Mu Ran’s injuries, and watching the live stream where she was covered in blood, Mu Dixin was really scared to the point of shaking all over.

He doesn’t want to send off loved ones anymore.

He never wants to!

*

With many people concerned about her, Mu Ran was heartlessly playing games, spraying with people in the game, but as night deepened, the surroundings became quiet, and when the nurse reminded her to sleep early, Mu Ran felt a bit scared.

She truly found it strange; she normally hated having company, but once at the hospital, she uniquely wished someone would accompany her.

Coincidentally, a call came through.

“Hello?”

“Could you talk to the hospital nurse and let me in? I’m blocked outside.”

Hospital visiting hours are not strict during the day.

But at night, there’s special guard to prevent disturbance to patients’ rest.

“Huh? Why are you here?” Mu Ran was shocked, “Aren’t you abroad?”

“You’re hurt, how could I stay abroad?” Xiao Yu’an originally wanted to linger on the sea a bit longer with pirates, testing current weapons and his physical limits, but while playing, he realized his girlfriend was seriously injured, so he had to quickly return.

“Wow, you’re so good.” Mu Ran informed the nurse.

Xiao Yu’an soon arrived.

Seeing him travel-worn, Mu Ran opened her arms and hugged him, “You’ve worked hard.”

Xiao Yu’an dared not move.

Her head was wrapped too tightly in bandages.

It looked a bit frightening, yet thankfully her spirit was good, seeming like no big issue.

“Does your forehead hurt?”

“It’s alright, thanks to today’s medical treatment.” Mu Ran motioned him to sit on the small sofa, “But there might be a scar.”

“Don’t be sad, appearance isn’t so important.”

“I think so too, luckily I started dating you early, I’m really foresighted.” Mu Ran praised herself.

Xiao Yu’an couldn’t help but laugh, “Yes, you’re really smart.”

“I originally planned to pick you up from the airport, but it’ll have to wait till next time. I’ll be discharged in two days to get back to work, won’t be able to accompany you.” Mu Ran felt apologetic.

“Not taking a break?”

“No need, it’s nothing major, there are no aftereffects.” Mu Ran reviewed her physical data report, everything looked normal, “You’re busy too, right?”

“It’s alright.” Xiao Yu’an’s gaze couldn’t leave Mu Ran’s head, “Did your forehead get stitches?”

“Yes.”

“That’s amazing.”

This skill really suited him to learn.

Xiao Yu’an added stitching to his learning list and asked her, “When do you go to sleep?”

“Almost now.”

“Then sleep, I’ll watch over you.”

Xiao Yu’an went to turn off the lights, the 185 cm tall man huddled on the small sofa.

Mu Ran gazed at the man curling into a ball by the outside light, suddenly feeling touched.

Hastening back from abroad.

Just to be with her.

Mu Ran couldn’t help but speak, “Why don’t you sleep with me?”

She didn’t mind anyway.

“No!” Xiao Yu’an refused.

“How about I let the nurse bring in another bed for you?”

“No need, it’s too noisy.” Xiao Yu’an knew there were many patients sleeping light in the hospital, “You sleep, I need to adjust my jet lag, no problem.”

“Alright then.” Mu Ran lay down.

Soon, she fell asleep.

Slept peacefully.

Listening to her even breathing, Xiao Yu’an tucked her in, seeing her cheeks chubby from the layers of bandages, couldn’t help but find her cute.

He then returned to the small sofa, took out a laptop, searched for what patients should eat, planning to prepare for Mu Ran in the morning.

Thus Mu Ran had two breakfasts in the morning.

Mu Dixin and Xiao Yu’an looked at each other.

Mu Ran swallowing, “Well… just… boyfriend.”

“From the Xiao Family?” Mu Dixin pulled a chair beside Mu Ran, sarcastically saying, “Yesterday you didn’t need me, but needed your boyfriend instead.”

Mu Ran: “…”

So awkward.

“He rushed back from abroad.”

“Wow, truly touching.” Mu Dixin’s tone was calm, expression mocking, then he turned to Xiao Yu’an, “If I remember correctly, last time I saw Mr. Xiao, he said he’d arrange blind dates for you, haven’t you told him you have a girlfriend?”

Before Xiao Yu’an became Mu Ran’s boyfriend.

Mu Dixin hoped to be allies with Xiao Yu’an.

But after he became Mu Ran’s boyfriend, Mu Dixin found Xiao Yu’an increasingly displeasing.

“I did.” Xiao Yu’an knew he was Mu Ran’s brother.

If he had a sister being alone with a man, he’d be angry too, so he really understood Mu Dixin now.

He also lowered his stance.

“You’ve told him, yet your grandfather didn’t believe you, seems your status in the Xiao Family isn’t high, how will you protect my sister, give her a good life?” Mu Dixin pressed fiercely.

Mu Ran couldn’t stand it anymore: “We’re just dating, why interfere so much? Really.”

But that one sentence.

Made both men in the room unhappy.

Mu Dixin was angered by her siding with others.

Xiao Yu’an was reminded how dating and breaking up were common now, he’s very traditional, convincing himself not to mind Mu Ran having many boyfriends before meeting him was hard.

Now he could not accept Mu Ran having other men later!

Seeing them both with cold faces, Mu Ran got angry too: “Are you two taking me for granted, showing me such expressions, if you don’t want to stay, just leave directly!”

“Who can tolerate your temper?” Mu Dixin retorted.

“Tsk, if people can tolerate your temper, why can’t they tolerate mine?” Mu Ran crossed her arms, “Someone like you, old, ugly with a bad temper, still managed to marry my sister-in-law who’s so perfect, I’m talented, young, pretty, and rich, tons of people can tolerate me!”
