Chapter 446 - 460: Thorns Embedded
Mu Xingfeng frowned slightly.
Haigang was a comrade who graduated in the same year as Mu Xingfeng. They joined the Guard Team in the same year and ended up in the same unit.
Both were excellent students from various schools, and after joining the Guard Team, they viewed each other as their biggest rivals and motivation in all training and combat exercises.
They often sparred with each other, and it could be said that their friendship was forged through combat.
Later, during a mission, Haigang, who was Mu Xingfeng’s partner, sacrificed his life. Before dying, he entrusted his wife and child to Mu Xingfeng.
For the past four years, Mu Xingfeng had regularly sent things to Haigang’s wife and child. Every time he returned to the Imperial City, he would visit them if he had the time.
He did not understand why Wang Xia wanted to talk to him about Haigang at this moment.
But thinking that Rong was now five years old and Wang Xia still spoiled him like this, he felt it was necessary to have a serious conversation with her.
"Let’s go," Mu Xingfeng said, standing up. He then turned to An Ran and said, "You take Rong and play well."
An Ran nodded. Rong looked very happy, "Daddy, this hot drink is really good. After I finish this cup, can I have another one with strawberry flavor?"

Mu Xingfeng reached out and ruffled his little head, "You’ll have to ask your Aunt Ran."
"No need to ask. As long as Daddy agrees, Aunt Ran will definitely agree," Rong said confidently.
Mu Xingfeng glanced at An Ran, his eyes full of doting affection, "Alright, I agree. I’m going to talk to your mom about something. You have to be good and listen to your Aunt Ran."
"Don’t worry, Daddy. Rong is the best," Rong said, and then went back to playing Gobang with An Ran.
Mu Xingfeng took Wang Xia to the study. After hearing the door close, An Ran looked up and glanced in the direction of the study, her eyes flashing with a certain emotion.
"Are you afraid Daddy and Mommy are talking secrets?" a childish voice sounded beside her. An Ran turned her head and met a pair of cold eyes.
Unlike when he was playing with her just moments ago, Rong’s entire aura had turned cold and terrifying.
If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you couldn’t possibly imagine that a five-year-old child could possess such a terrifying presence.
"I don’t understand what Rong is saying," An Ran replied.
She truly didn’t understand. Daddy and Mommy talking secrets? If someone didn’t know better, they might think they were a real family.
Moreover, Mu Xingfeng was so enthusiastic with them. She had never seen Mu Xingfeng be so courteous to any woman, not even Lin Ruonan.
She could hardly believe a man with Mu Xingfeng’s personality could show such patience with a child, looking at how he treated Rong so gently, so dotingly.
What exactly was their relationship? Even though she knew she had no right to question Instructor Mu’s personal matters, seeing the mother and child in front of her made An Ran’s heart feel as if it had been pricked.
Honestly, she felt a bit jealous, though she also found her jealousy inexplicable.
"I know you understand. You bad woman, aren’t you here to compete with Mommy and me for Daddy? Could you be happy seeing Daddy with Mommy?"
An Ran looked at the little boy in front of her as if he were some monster. Such thoughts in such a young child, it was obvious who had taught him.
"You’re mistaken. I’m not unhappy. Besides, it’s Instructor Mu’s freedom to be with whomever he chooses, it’s not something that can be taken away just because someone wants to," An Ran said, as she picked up her milk tea and began drinking. The warm milk tea warmed her belly and lifted her mood.
