Chapter 256 - 269: The War Between Man and Dog for Favor
At the door, He Yushu also came out to greet them. "Wenxuan is back, come quickly inside."
"Hi Auntie, it’s cold outside, you should hurry inside too."
Once inside, there was another round of pleasantries. Grandma Mu looked at Shen Wenxuan and then at An Ran, clearly very satisfied with her grandson-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.
Shen Wenxuan chatted with Old Mr. Mu and Mu Zhenzong, noticing An Ran didn’t look well beside Grandma Mu. He mentioned to Mu Xingfeng, who was reading a military newspaper, "Is An Ran feeling unwell?"
Mu Xingfeng put down the newspaper and saw that indeed, the young girl didn’t look too good, yet she was still forcing herself to chat with Grandma Mu. He walked over.
"Do you want to go upstairs and rest?" Mu Xingfeng sat down next to An Ran and whispered in her ear.
An Ran did feel her eyelids fighting, but seeing all these people, she felt too embarrassed to leave, and gently shook her head.
"Then I’ll take you back to the villa after dinner," he said, worried she wouldn’t be able to rest well with so many people around.
Hearing "villa," An Ran remembered the little dog and looked around asking, "Where is my sister’s dog?"
Grandma Mu smiled and said, "Ran, don’t worry. The dog has been locked in the backyard by the servant. As long as you are here, there won’t be any dogs around."
Her grandson had finally found such a delicate little wife, and she couldn’t let the dog scare her away. After An Ran and the others left, Grandma Mu instructed the servants that whenever An Ran was home, the dog must be kept under control. If it weren’t for Mu Wanxin treating the dog as her lifeline, she would have given it away long ago.
An Ran felt a bit embarrassed, scratched her head and glanced at Mu Xingfeng, who recognized the competition between humans and dogs for attention. Unexpectedly, she got dragged into it too.
