Chapter 127 - 137 Putting Down All Guards
It was nearly eight o’clock by the time everything was tidied up. An Ran still hadn’t gotten out of bed. Mu Xingfeng came to the guest room and knocked on the door. When there was no response, he gently pushed the door open.
Sure enough, the little girl was deeply asleep, her head buried in the covers, not noticing someone had entered the room. Mu Xingfeng shook his head and smiled. She looked like a little pig.
Seeing her sleep so soundly, he didn’t have the heart to wake her. He turned to leave but suddenly heard the little girl whispering softly, "No..."
Mu Xingfeng stopped in his tracks and looked at the person on the bed. An Ran still had her eyes closed, as if she were dreaming. Her small, rosy mouth kept muttering, and her brows were furrowed.
Without hesitation, he walked over. As he got closer, he noticed that the little girl’s face was abnormally flushed, and her small mouth was still muttering, "No, don’t come, Grandma, Grandma..."
"An Ran, wake up," Mu Xingfeng gently patted An Ran’s little face. Her face was alarmingly hot to the touch. The little girl had a fever? And was clearly having a nightmare; he needed to wake her up first.
"Grandma, Grandma, save me..." The girl whimpered helplessly, her voice tinged with tears. Mu Xingfeng’s heart felt like it was being squeezed brutally.
"An Ran, wake up, don’t be afraid, you’re dreaming, wake up." Mu Xingfeng gently shook An Ran, comforting her.
"Ah—" With a scream, An Ran’s eyes suddenly flew open, and she sat up, her wide, innocent eyes filled with fear.
