《Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You》 Chapter 1 - Chenyan, you should have accompanied Qinger into hell.

Chapter 1: Chenyan, you should have apanied Qinger into hell.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Inside Luo Hai Citys Female Detention Center was a dark and cramped prison cell! The damp and cold autumn breeze seeped into the prison cell through the cracks of the window. A gust of cold air blew against the face of a woman sitting in the cell. She shivered, and lifted her head up from her knees. Today was a special day... Number 238, you can leave today! Bring your number te to the ticket counter to collect your documents and belongings! The prison guards cold voice sounded, echoing terrifyingly inside the void prison cell! Hurry up! As the prison guard urged her to hurry up, a hint of energy shed through Mu Chenyans cold eyes. Hearing news of her freedom, the woman who had supposedly died for 723 days seemed to be gradually regaining consciousness! She got up grudgingly and tidied the crumpled clothes on her. Her fine ck hair hindered her vision, and she tucked it behind her ears. Her ever-pallorplexion got paler. The morsel of nutrition provided in prison meals was far from enough to keep up with the surging waves in her heart at this moment. She felt a little dizzy. She murmured in acknowledgment to the guards words and did not react further. The female prison guard frowned and could not help but to size up the ghastly pale-looking Mu Chenyan who was in front of her. Even before she started working in this prison, she had heard rumors that a legendary figure was being kept inside here. Could that person be the one in front of her now? Although the woman was just wearing amon prisoner attire, it could not hide the strong presence and aura that was radiating from within. Her big eyes were ethereal like dark-jade as if they were embedded onto her small face, giving her features an indescribably beautiful yet sorrowful look. Themon and fashionable hairstyle in prison a short bobbed hairstyle seemed messy but extraordinarily beautiful on her! Noticing the prison guard sizing her up, Mu Chenyan lips curled up slightly. She may be a natural beauty, but her smile was heart-wrenchingly dark and cold, making ones heart ached for her. This newly employed prison guard would not have known that two years ago, this woman used to have a cheery and gentle disposition. She had a cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye, and when she smiled she looked like an angel who had identally fell from the sky! ... Two years ago, news of Mister Yuan Xuan of Luo Hai Citys renowned family marrying Miss Mu Chenyan from the Mu Family were headlines for an entire week! However, a scandal urred on the day of the wedding when a mysterious package was sent over by somebody anonymous. To everyones surprise, a babys corpse treated with liquid nitrogen was found in the package... A biopsy was conducted and results showed that the corpse was a six-month-old baby boy! Shu Qinger, the mother of the baby corpse, was found dead inside a luxury condominium nearby a hotel managed under the Mu Familys business... Everyone in Luo Hai City knew that Shu Qinger was the childhood friend of Yuan Xuan, the groom! ... Therefore, a womans irrational jealousy drove her to cruelly murder her fiancs mistress and his illegitimate child. This version of a rumor started spreading like wildfire on the streets! At that time, those in the upper society were also greatly shocked! Yuan Family, the top noble family in Luo Hai City with hundreds of years of foundation. Along with their ancestors previous deeds and this generations established business empire, Yuan Familys every single move would directly affect the economy of the entire Southeast Region! Who would have thought that the First Lady of the Yuan Family would do something so cruel on her wedding eve? Moreover, the news that spread fast across the city did not stop at that. The week-long headline changed to the First Lady being a psychopathic murderer... Mu Chenyan was 22 years old at that time and in just an hour, she turned from being the First Lady to a prisoner! Furthermore, it was the day of her long-awaited wedding! Brother Xuan, the man that she was willing to tail around ever since she was a little girl watched quietly as she was taken away by the police for an investigation. The odd look on his face was hard to figure out! As his so-called childhood friend suffered a tragic death, his newlywed wife was being arrested! All that this arrogant and cold man left for Mu Chenyan was the figure of his back without any affection! ... It was only after a weekter at the detention center that Mu Chenyan finally saw Yuan Xuan for the first time! Brother Xuan, I didnt kill anyone... Mu Chenyan started sobbing uncontrobly when she saw Yuan Xuans handsome face on the other side of the detention centers window! Yuan Xuans cold gaze got slightly darker as he stared at Mu Chenyan. He remained silent seeing how dreadful she had be in just one week! His usual cold and arrogant demeanor were not affected at all, not even when his newlywed wife was being wrongly used. In the following 700 days, Mu Chenyan constantly recalled the single sentence that he said that day. Chenyan, you should have apanied Qinger into hell! Chapter 2 - Butler Fu, You Found the Wrong Person

Chapter 2: Butler Fu, You Found the Wrong Person

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion An investigation was carried out, evidence was collected, and she was put on trial... Given theck of substantial evidence, the case was re-examined to look for more evidence, and the court hearing would continue... To her dismay, after that one meeting with Yuan Xuan, he never appeared again! What more, Yuan Xuan even cut off all means for her to be bailed out those who bailed her out would be killed mercilessly! The Mu Family certainly did not dare to offend Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan thought that the case would soon be concluded and what awaited her would be nothing more but death! Hence, she gave up appealing her case and chose to fight in silence. But she was too optimistic! Yuan Xuan did not leave her to her own destruction though... ... Miss Mu, Im yourwyer. Mr Yuan appointed me to take full responsibility for your case! Since then, thewyer named Wu Ze was the person whom Mu Chenyan came in contact with the most over the seven hundred plus days. This renownedwyer eventually became the person who cared the most about her life and death. From the first trial to the second trial, and from the second trial to the appeal, all these took half a year! Mu Chenyan noted Wu Ze dutifully performing his duties! Hence, from the ruling of the death penalty to life imprisonment andter to being acquitted, Mu Chenyan stayed aloof from the case, as if she was just watching someone elses story unfolding. ... Every night amidst the dead silence, Mu Chenyan would stare at the ceiling in a daze, recalling Yuan Xuans words! Does he hate me? I am sure he does! He thinks that I killed Shu Qinger! Her once naive belief of one could achieve anything with sincerity (TN: the Chinese idiom literally trantes as sincerity splits open metal and rocks) went up in smoke on the day Shu Qinger died! Who was the father of that fetus, was it really Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyan never even dared to ponder the answer to that question! However, she knew that in the end, Shu Qingers body was buried in the Yuan Familys private cemetery, along with the unborn fetus. ... Exiting the ck iron gate, the free, cool air filled Chen Muyans lungs... Looking up at the gloomy sky, the corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards. Mu Chenyan gently wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes! The autumn rain is always lingering and moving. Luo Hai City had been gued with a haze for a week, and it was rare for the sky to clear up a little today! The roads were washed by the rain again and again. On the wet paths, the potholes had been filled with water. The cold wind blew, making the puddles of water rippled and shimmered. Mu Chenyan tightened the thin, old coat around her body. The pair of canvas shoes on her feet was still the same pair sent by her older brother when she was first imprisoned! Mud and rainwater sttered onto the shoes, which had been washed until its color had faded. A cold chill that could pierce the heart spread up from the soles of the feet. Stepping forward, Mu Chenyan was oblivious as her shoes continuously got battered by the rainwater on the ground... A ck Jaguar braked suddenly and stopped right next to Mu Chenyan! The shrill braking sound caused Mu Chenyan to lift her head up. Her expression was cold and indifferent as her clear eyes sized up the pair of old and younging out of the car! The old man had white hair with a face that must have been as distinctive as it had been in the past ten years, the veins on his dry red skin bulging. He met Mu Chenyans gaze and spoke, Young Mistress, Young Master had asked Ah Fu and me to bring you to the Yuan Family Mansion! The young girl standing beside him must be Ah Fu. She had a thin figure but was respectfully supporting Butler Fu. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Yuan Xuan himself did note, but he sent Butler Fu over. Could this be considered as giving her face? After all, Butler Fu was someone who had gone through fire and water with Old Master Yuan. His current position in the Yuan Family was not lower than that of Young Master! Ah Fus eyes, which was clear as water, was curiously observing Mu Chenyan! When she first arrived at Yuan Family Mansion, Mu Chenyan was already imprisoned! Everyone in the Yuan Family Mansion was aware of the current situation of their Mistress, but being wise and discreet, they chose not to mention anything! Ah Fu was only brought into the Yuan Family by her grandfather, Butler Fu, because the Old Mistress wanted to find a suitable maidservant to serve Yuan Xuan, the Young Master. She had stayed by the Young Masters side for two years, but the Young Mistress whom she had never met before was in front now. Ah Fu could not resist her snooping heart, so when her grandfather was sent to bring the Young Mistress home, she volunteered to follow. Mu Chenyan shivered in the cold, and her body contracted in the cotton coat. An undetectable scoff emerged on her pale little face. Butler Fu, youve got the wrong person! Theres only Mu Chenyan here, no Young Mistress! Chapter 3 - Even in Death, You Would Still Be the Yuan Familys Ghost

Chapter 3: Even in Death, You Would Still Be the Yuan Familys Ghost

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Butler Fu was neither haughty nor humble when he ced a hand on his granddaughters wrist, lowered his elderly face and quietly said, Young Mistress, you should still remember that you signed a marriage certificate with Young Master Yuan! One of the Yuan Familys achievements throughout the generations was that there were only reasons why certain daughters-inw who married into the family were unwanted, but there have never been previous instances of wives divorcing the husbands! Even in death, youd still be a ghost of the Yuan Family! His final sentence seemed like he was downying it but it was actually a tant threat! Each of her grandfathers words was devastating critiques and this was a situation that a young person like Ah Fu had never witnessed. She nted her body sideways towards her grandfather, shrinking herself while casting a suspicious gaze towards Mu Chenyan! Not long ago, Ah Fu had assumed that the Young Mistress who she had not yet been acquainted with was the Young Masters pampered beloved one. He longed for her while she was deeply in love with him. Therefore, he never left her during such a perilous time and bitterly waited two years for her! Nheless, it was expected that her grandfather would spew such a threat when the Young Mistress seemed fickle and insipid and did not have any intention of wanting to return to the Yuan Family! Chenyan rolled her eyes and smiled faintly. She pointed her tapered lower jaw in the direction of Butler Fu. Are you warning me in ce of Yuan Xuan and saying that even if I die, Ill still have to die in the Yuan Family? Butler Fu kept mum, his eyes twinkled, implying that she was right! Mu Chenyan sadly looked around her surroundings. She was suddenly enveloped with a sense of dreariness that seemed as though the big world had no ce for a weak girl like her! If they werepeting between who could be more ruthless, she had never been Yuan Xuans opponent! It looked like Yuan Xuan was unwilling to let her go! The important part was not whether the judge ruled that she was guilty but whether he felt that she was guilty... Denying her death did not necessarily mean that he wanted her to live well... ... A ck Jaguar sped past and sprayed water everywhere! The dark clouds in the sky that had recently dispersed now gathered in a pitch ck shroud once again! A storm was approaching from afar once again! ... Mu Chenyans expression was indifferent and extremely cold. Not even the cars heater could warm her! She nced out of the car window. She was too familiar with the road leading to the Yuan Family Mansion... That year, she was 10 years old when she returned to Luo Hai with her father! While she was still inexperienced and shielded from understanding the affairs of the world, she spotted Yuan Xuan for the first time among that cluster of emblemed buildings! The fifteen-year-old youth was already dashing and spirited, his noble aura exerting from his body from head to toe instantly captured the young girls muddled heart! Her father had exined to her he was the son of hisrade from Luo Hais most illustrious family, whom she would call Brother Xuan from then on! Thus, this mountain road that waspletely paved with confederate rose petals leading to the Yuan Family Mansion was one that she had journeyed on the most! She did this to meet his gaze even just for a split second when his eyes swept past her! This was not an ordinary road, it was the path of a young girl whose love had just awakened, boldly dashing forward in pursuit of true love! ... When she was seventeen years old, she followed him and traveled across the ocean to study. When she saw him freely chatting to the golden-haired, blue-eyed beauties in the foreignnd, she felt as if someone was twisting a knife in her heart! His coldness was only directed towards her! His smiles, however, were offered to anybody... On the day of his birthday banquet, she drank some alcohol and took the opportunity to bravely confessed to him her feelings. However, she had not expected that Yuan Xuan would answer her with just a cold gaze! A gentle and affectionate young woman came knocking on her door the second day and uninhibitedly said, Little sister, Brother Xuan already has his heart set on someone, so you shouldnt be too affectionate towards him! That young woman was Shu Qinger! Chenyan smiled faintly but her attitude towards Yuan Xuan remained the same as before! Big sister, you can like whoever you like and Ill do the same! I, Mu Chenyan, have set my mind on him so I wont give up easily! Hearing news of the jealous rivalry between both women, the mans expression resembled dark clouds that were hanging overhead. He red at her little face that stubbornly refused to repent. He was absolutely certain that this young woman would endlessly pester him from today onwards! Dont waste your time on me! You should have your own path that you want to travel on! warned Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyans big eyes suddenly twinkled and said, I like you, but that doesnt concern you! Brother Xuan, you dont have to feel pressured! However, you cant stop me from liking you! ... When she returned afterpleting her studies at the age of 21, the Young Master who had also returned from abroad was already wielding power over the Yuan Family! This youth who was not even thirty years old had already ascended to the first and highest post in Luo Hais business empire! He had monopolized the trading ports and imports that were entering Country Z and the development of their energy resources from abroad! From then on, nobody from the various main prominent families throughout the Southeast Coast couldpete with him and could merely watch him ascend from afar! The Yuan Family Mansion had be a symbol of the pinnacle of their influence in Luo Hai! At the age of 22, Yuan Xuan suddenly asked the Mu Family for their blessing to marry her. Her happiness had arrived so abruptly that when her father informed her of this news, she wildly ran across that little road that was lined with silk trees! Im going to marry Brother Yuan Xuan!!! Ive finally touched his heart... ... When she recalled the extremely frivolous youth, the corners of Mu Chenyans mouth curled upwards faintly! She had never regretted loving him, but would not permit herself to love again! She had never regretted pursuing him, but would not allow herself to fall into her rivals trap again! Mu Chenyans weary emotions stirred as she reached her hand out tob her long hair! Her hand that was waving in the air suddenly paused and she was briefly shocked when she realized that she had forgotten once again that she had cut her hair while she was in prison... She recalled the Ten-Mile Red Dowry that she had previously read about. (TN: The Ten-Mile Red Dowry refers to a set of traditional Chinese marriage customs) When my long hair reaches my waist, will the young master marry me? Once your ck hair has coiled up, will you be willing to line the ground with red silk for ten li 1 ? However, I am worried that once my hair reaches my waist, the Young Masters adoration will be in another ce. I will wait for your ck hair to coil up, even if you will be smiling while holding another in your embrace. Chapter 4 - Guilty Or Innocent, It all Depends On Yuan Xuans Words.

Chapter 4: Guilty Or Innocent, It all Depends On Yuan Xuans Words.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Yuan Family Mansion was located mid-hill on the Autumn View Mountain at the North zone of Luo Hai City. Legend had it that a Taoist Priest once practiced Feng Shui 1 on thisnd and said that it had the roots of an emperor. 2 Therefore, several generations of high-ranking officials and nobles had settled down in this area, forming a rtivelyrge scale region filled with constructions. The Yuan Family Mansion was built in the style of Ming and Qing dynasties! Since the ancestors of the Yuan Family were once officials in Anhui, traces of Hui styled architecture could be observed on the structure of the pavilion. There were three different houses located at the innermost to the outermost area of the mansion. Yuan Old Mistress of the Yuan Family lived in the innermost house. After the death of the old man, the one who lived here would be the one with the greatest and most respected status in the Yuan Family! Yuan Old Mistress had three sons and a daughter. Yuan Xuans father, Yuan Tangbai, was the eldest son, Yuan Tangzhong was the second son, and Yuan Tangshuo was the youngest son. Yuan Tangbai had his eldest child, Yuan Xuan, at thete age of 37. Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo each had a son and a daughter! Yuan Xuans mother had a weak physique and was bedridden for many years. Since it was impossible for her to conceive another child, Yuan Xuan became the only sessor to the eldest child of the family. Back when Yuan Xuan five years old, Yuan Tangbai led an army to the West and calmed down several civil disorders. However, it was both a blessing and also a misfortune! The Kings order ofmendation arrived on the same day that Yuan Tangbai was sacrificed! Yuan Xuans mother was mourning so much that she passed away... Yuan Old Mistress pitied her grandchild since he lost his parents at such a young age. Therefore, she stayed by his side and looked after him personally! Her affection towards him was undoubtedly greater than her other grandchildren. Even so, Yuan Xuans character still remained cold and arrogant even when he grew up to be an adult! He avoided getting into his fathers career. Perhaps because he did not receive any parental love since young, he was more or less repulsive towards any matter regarding the military. Yuan Familys hundred years of political rights and authority naturally fell into the hands of the second and third son! That said, Yuan Old Mistress was actually the core of the Yuan Family. Thus, the core rights of the Yuan Family naturally fell into the hands of Yuan Xuan! Although Yuan Xuan was not involved in politics or military, everyone clearly knew that he was the one with the utmost rights in Luo Hai City. He was barely even 30 years old. In Yuan Xuans opinion, even if he chose to give up on politics and venture into business, he was capable to build and establish his own rightful empire! As a matter of fact, sessfully establishing a business empire had brought the Yuan Family up another level! * The car drove into the courtyard of the Yuan Mansion. Several helpers with strong physiques came forward. They all wore uniforms and had a solemn look on their faces. The leader of the group politely said to Butler Fu, Butler Fu, before Young Master left, he sent me to give you a message. Upon your return, please bring Young Mistress to the Hibiscus Garden to rest and do not disturb Old Mistress! Butler Fu nodded and waved his hands at the few helpers, I understand. The few of you, stay alert and guard the garden well! Do not let anyone enter and leave without permission! The few of them acknowledged him with a solemn look. Mu Chenyan smiled lightly. This was a hint that she will not be able to leave without permission after entering the garden. Of course, she knew about the Hibiscus Garden. It was a small house where the Old Mistress personally built for Yuan Xuan after he became an adult. It was located right beside the core building of the garden! Yuan Xuan instructed her to go to the Hibiscus Garden, yet he did not want her to bother the Old Mistress. It was clearly because of the scandal from two years ago. Despite the social status of the Yuan Family, the wife to their noble sessor was actually a murderer? Back then, the Old Mistress was extremely furious and she wanted to cancel the wedding! Chenyan thought that they would have definitely divorced her, so she waited in prison for the Yuan Family to send a divorce agreement. Unexpectedly, after waiting for long, they did not do so!! Moreover, Yuan Xuan actually brought her back here and her identity was still the iparably noble Young Mistress. Even Mu Chenyan herself found that difficult to believe! At this point, how could the Yuan Family allowed such a tainted woman to be their daughter-inw? Mu Chenyan remained puzzled even after pondering over it repeatedly. There was only one rational exnation to all these unreasonable situations. The reason why she was brought back to the Hibiscus Garden could be another form of punishment that Yuan Xuan had nned!! Due to theck of evidence, the prosecutors allegations had failed? She knew clearly in her heart that theck of evidence was just an excuse! The evidence will never be enough because she never murdered anybody. Furthermore, she will never do something so cruel to the fetus body. However, a 700-day long of jail time punishment still befell on her! Public opinion was still using towards her. Even if she was not able to figure it out in one or two days, but she finally understood a fact after 700 days. Whether or not she was guilty, it all depended on Yuan Xuans words!! Chapter 5 - Does Young Mistress Still Use Rose Petals?

Chapter 5: Does Young Mistress Still Use Rose Petals?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Hibiscus Garden was filled with roses and hibiscuses that the Yuan Old Mistress liked when she was younger! Back then, Old Mistress and Old Master were both deeply in love with each other, but their fate together was destined to notst long. Old Master was afraid that he might pass before Old Mistress and she will be left alone. Therefore, he nted hibiscus trees all around the core buildings of the mansion. He did that during thest year of his life as his body was getting weaker by the days. Even though their love was as deep as the ocean, but unfortunately that was the end of it! Due to the example of a loving parent, Yuan Tangbai and his wife also loved each other deeply. Thus, when Yuan Tangbai passed away, his wife could not take the hit and left the world with him! The men of Yuan Family were all very loving and loyal to their spouses, but unfortunately, there were not many of them left when it came to Yuan Xuan... This young sessor was cold, arrogant and extremely wise mentally! Mu Chenyan recalled that she had chased after him for 12 years ever since the age of 10, but it seemed like he never once smiled at her! ... Mu Chenyan took a turn around the Hibiscus Garden. It had not changed much since a few years ago. The area of the house was not that big. There were three floors in total and the structures of the house were constructed from wood. Most of the furniture pieces were also in natural wood color. The living room was on the first floor, with a small tea room right next to it, furnished in Japanese style decoration! Yuan Xuan liked to make his own tea and coffee, so that area was always filled with an aromatic smell! Previously when Chenyan visited the Yuan Mansion, she would linger there and take the first sip of coffee right after Yuan Xuan was done making it! Yuan Xuan did not chase her away even though he was not close to her back then. Therefore, Chenyan had quite a number of beautiful memories in this sunny little tea room! Outside of the tea room was an extended piece of emptynd, where a rtively small room was made for the maids in the house so that it was easier for them to take care of their Master at night. Yuan Xuan has been pampered more than the others since young. Given that the Yuan Family took the concept of social status very seriously, their servants were not allowed to live in the same building as their Master. Thus, a stand-alone room was built and Ah Fu lived there. There were two bedrooms and a study room on the second floor. One of the bedrooms faced south and the other faced east. Yuan Xuan resided in the bedroom that was facing south. The third floor was a small rooftop and Yuan Xuan turned that area into a small garden. There were some woody nts and some flowers which Mu Chenyan did not know the name though she understood that they were all exotic flower seeds from all over the world. That ce also used to be Mu Chenyans favorite spot. Only in that colorful world, Mu Chenyan felt that her Brother Xuan actually existed in this world! How can a man who loved flowers and nts be so cold? She naively thought since she had been putting in the effort, how could her love not change his cold heart? But now, Mu Chenyan believed that whether a man was loving or not, it all depended on who the other person was! If a man does not love a woman, no matter how much effort the woman put in, it will all just be bothersome to the man! ... After taking a turn at the small building, she was reminded of her past memories. The items in the small building were arranged neatly and tidily as if each of them were soldiers ready to get into a battle as they waited for an inspection from their boss. Yuan Xuan was a very possessive person, not allowing other people to casually touch his belongings. He was an end-stage sufferer of obsessivepulsive disorder! Nheless, she was able to enter this area as she pleased and behave like a spoiled child freely back then! It seemed as though Mu Chenyan was able to look at the past ten years, back in the days when her young-self was chasing after Yuan Xuan... ... Mu Chenyan tightened her old jacket around her. Instead of sitting down, she turned around and instructed Ah Fu. Fill the bathtub with water, I want to take a bath! Young Mistress, do I still add rose petals into it? Ah Fu asked carefully! The look on Chenyans face turned gloomy. She lowered her eyes and said softly, Yuan Xuan told you that? Yes! Young Master said that if Young Mistress were to take a bath when shes back, rose petals will be a necessity. Thus, a few days ago, he sent someone to order a batch of fresh rose petals from Damascus. The gardeners have cleaned it and it is now the best time to use it in your bath! After all, this young girl was still very naive, so she blurted out everything about her Master in just a few sentences! Probably because of Yuan Xuans actions and before meeting Mu Chenyan, Ah Fu believed that Young Mistress was Young Masters loved one... Put some in then! Chenyan had an indifferent expression and it seemed as though she was not moved by Ah Fus words! After two years in prison, even a proud youngdy from a well-known family had changed all her old habits. She used the rose petals as a sign of good will to not waste that mans effort! Mu Chenyan smiled ironically! ... Chapter 6 - It Has Been So Long, Do You Not Miss Me At All?

Chapter 6: It Has Been So Long, Do You Not Miss Me At All?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The bathroom was foggy and misty. Chenyanid down on the edge of the bathtub with her eyes slightly closed! The thick fog in the bathroom started rising gradually. The hot air stimted Mu Chenyans snow-like skin turning it slightly red. Her skin looked as delicate as a newly blossomed lotus flower! Her dark strands of hair rested on top of her forehead obediently. She rested her headzily on one side of her slender arms and gently massaged her earlobe with the other... When Yuan Xuan returned home and saw this scene, he had a desire to dominate this delicate cat-like woman. His piercing gaze never once left the self-indulging woman in the water and he smiled... Once upon a time, this cat-like woman used to stay in his ce and acted like a spoiled child. Even though he was cold and mean to her, she did not seem to care! She used to call him Brother Xuan all the time and often moved her palm-sized tiny little face right in front of him. Her eyshes were so long that it could almost reach his cheeks... Bother Xuan, do you not n to consider liking me? No! At that time, Yuan Xuan had always rejected her without any hesitation and poured cold water on her confession! Ish! Forget it, even if you dont like me, you cant stop me from being your little fan! Im warning you, even if you do not like me, you cant stop me from liking you! At that time, Mu Chenyan was really persistent! ... Yuan Xuan looked at the woman in the bathtub and his thoughts traveled a little far back into the past! Young Master, Old Mistress asked you to visit her when youre back! Ah Fus voice was light, but it still shocked Mu Chenyan! She opened her eyes in shock, and met the dark gaze of the man standing at the doorway of the bathroom. She hurriedly grabbed the towel by the edge of the bathtub and covered her chest. Mu Chenyan bit her lips in an attempt to hide her nervousness. She did not know when did Yuan Xuan return home and how long had he been standing at the doorway looking at her! Tell Grandma Im taking a bath and Ill be there shortly! Yuan Xuan turned around, looked at Ah Fu with an indifferent expression and waved his hand. Ah Fu quickly rushed forward to help him take off his coat and hung it on a hanger! Chenyan heard him said that he wanted to take a bath and recalled that she was using his bathtub. She hurriedly shouted at Ah Fu, Girl, bring me my clothes! In fact, she did not have any clothes here! Before she had moved in officially, she was already brought to prison! To be exact, she had yet to truly step into the Yuan Familys door, so why would she have any clothes here? The situation at this moment was different, even wearing a servants uniform was better than being naked in front of Yuan Xuan... There is no need for that! Shes not done bathing yet! A significant smile appeared on Yuan Xuans face as he looked at the woman in the water with a moist and red flush. A hint of tender emotion shed through his dark eyes! Ah Fu was just turning around to get a bathrobe, but she froze in ce upon hearing Yuan Xuans words. Did Young Master mean that he is going to take a bath with Young Mistress? Ah Fus outlook on life was being changed slowly. Was this the emotionless Young Master that she knew? After two years of being with Yuan Xuan, other than seeing him at the tea room every day, the only time that he revealed a little emotion was when he took care of his garden at the rooftop! Ah Fu could not believe that the Young Master that she knew would actually take a bath with someone else! When Mu Chenyan saw how Yuan Xuan was really going to do it, she got even more nervous and moved her body backward. Dont leave so quickly, help me take a bath! He said to Mu Chenyan. Ah Fu finally confirmed that the Young Master was really nning to do that, so she hurriedly left the room in a flutter. Yuan Xuan ignored the dumbfounded look on Mu Chenyans face. He took off his clothes and wrapped a towel around his waist. V line abs, protruding sphenoid bones, firm abs, and deep six-pack abs... Yuan Xuan took off his clothes as if there was no one around and Mu Chenyan had a full view of his body... After Yuan Xuan was done wrapping a towel around his waist, he turned around and saw Mu Chenyan avoiding him unnaturally. The water sshed around when Yuan Xuan entered the extremely huge bathtub that was covered with rose petals. He stretched hisrge hands out and said in a sexy low voice, Come here! His alpha male aura was overwhelming. Mu Chenyan red at his face that she was once obsessed with furiously. Her body shivered slightly and she moved her body backward to stay as far away from him as possible! Sensing the womans intention to escape, Yuan Xuan stood up and pulled her into his arms without saying a word. He lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes! Dont you miss me after so long? The man sounded like a seductive devil and his warm breath blew onto Chenyans face! Chapter 7 - Wait For Me Tonight

Chapter 7: Wait For Me Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Chenyan red at Yuan Xuan coldly with an emotionless look on her face! A feeling rose from the bottom of her heart and she wished that the man right in front of her could just disappear so that they will never, ever have to meet again! Do you want to burn me into ashes right now? Seeing how she stayed silent, Yuan Xuan sneered and his abnormally handsome face seemed extremely malicious! He caressed her lips with his rough fingers and his dark eyes were like little stars in the sky. From the reflection of his dark eyes, Mu Chenyan saw her pale face and she felt the dangerous aura around him! Yuan Xuan, did you think that I would still be obsessed with you like how I was before? Mu Chenyans voice was hoarse and trembling. However, the look on her face was extremely vicious! You killed my father and ruined the Mu Family. Now you expect me to leave the past behind and remained the Mu Chenyan from before? Ive died once, and now I wont be that dumb! After saying that, Mu Chenyan attempted to push the man away with a determined look on her face! Yuan Xuan strengthened his grip on her to prevent her from escaping. Seeing how he shamelessly held onto her and both of them did not have any clothes on... She swung her hand furiously and a loud p was heard. Her palmnded right on Yuan Xuans face! A p mark could be seen clearly on his face! For a moment, Mu Chenyan thought that Yuan Xuan would strangle her to death! In Luo Hai City, the Southeast Coast, and Country Z, there were only less than 10 people who dared to hit Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan, the woman who was once so obsessed with him actually pped him after not seeing him for such a long time! Yuan Xuan smiled oddly, his dark eyes hinted a murderous intent. p me? You will need to pay the price!! He moved closed to her ears and continued saying in a ghostly soft voice, The Mu Family has fallen already. Do you think you can escape from me? Mu Chenyan shivered and red at Yuan Xuan! So what if your father is still alive? Dont forget that I was the one who hired awyer for you during your two years in prison! If the Mu Family treated you like their daughter, would they just let you rot in prison all by yourself? Do you still hate me because of them? I think, even in prison you should have known that your parents met with an ident when they tried to escape with their money! Mu Chenyans body trembled uncontrobly. Yuan Xuan saw how weak she was and he said sarcastically, Pfft, look at you, how pitiful. While you were in deep trouble, they were nning to give up on you and run away. Do you still think that the Mu Family cares about you? You seemed as though the top socialite in Luo Hai City, but Im afraid that you know the truth very well, right? Mu Chenyan was shocked. She had no choice but to admit that each and every word that Yuan Xuan said was true! All these years, she had been in denial of the truth. While she was in the Mu Family, she did not actually live like a true socialite! It was something so private, how could Yuan Xuan expose such a bloody truth just like that? The man saw the anger in her eyes and he pressed his lips against hers without any warning! Mm... A pointless struggle! Feeling the warmth on her lips, Mu Chenyan felt as though she was burning from the heat. She clenched her teeth, refusing him the opportunity to take things a step further. But the man grasped the back of her head with one hand and held her butt with his other hand, directly forcing both of their bodies to get intimately closer together. As her mind got distracted, he forcefully pried open her clenched teeth and pushed his skillful tongue into her mouth! Her breath was taken away and the volcano in the depths of her heart started exploding with hotva! Yuan Xuan kissed her fiercely, as though he was taking revenge on her for pping him. Inch by inch, step by step, until she had given up on struggling. She leaned against him weakly in a bid to regain her rights to breathe. Yuan Xuan looked at her bright red face from being out of breath. Probably because her features were too exquisite, even if she did not take care of herself properly during the two years in prison, she still looked better than those who wore a face of heavy makeup. He caressed the hair resting on her forehead and whispered in her ears, After youre done taking a bath, eat something and wait for me tonight! Yuan Xuans devilish smile caused Chenyans entire body to tremble. She understood what he meant! Ridiculously, even though she was already married to Yuan Xuan, the kiss that they shared just now was actually their first kiss... Nheless, the meaning behind Yuan Xuans words was clear, he wanted more than just a kiss! He wanted all of her! Chapter 8 - Dont Worry, She Will Satisfy You Tonight

Chapter 8: Dont Worry, She Will Satisfy You Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan finished his bath and went to the Old Mistress house. Even though he said he wanted to take a bath, but he clearly came in to take advantage of her! After taking advantage of her, he was still unsatisfied and he even asked her to wait for him tonight? A trace of anxiousness and uneasiness shed through Mu Chenyans cold face. Perhaps, it was finally time for her to meet her overdue wedding night... She got out of the bathtub and changed into the clothes that Ah Fu got for her. Mu Chenyan did not expect Yuan Xuan to prepare clothes for her in the Hibiscus Garden. The white cashmere sweater was loose on her slender body. She picked and put on a dark gold-colored velvet wide-legged pants. She was naturally tall and blessed with long legs. Ah Fu saw the Young Mistress walking out of the bedroomzily, looking like an exceptionally beautiful fairy. The young girl opened her mouth wide with a bedazzled look on her face. Young Mistress, youre so beautiful! If I was the Young Master, I would be head over heels for you too! The inexperienced and innocent young girl blurted out without thinking twice! Chenyan had a listless look on her face. Initially, she wanted to smile at the youngdy, but she could not bring herself to do it. Was she not as simple-minded and pure-hearted once upon a time ago? Even so, the Mu Chenyan who was brought away on her wedding ceremony two years ago had already died in prison... ... Mu Chenyan looked towards the Old Mistresss house from the balcony. The solemn-looking old-fashioned building seemed extraordinarily tall and lofty! That ce was not only the center of the Yuan Family but also the core rights between Luo Hai City and the Southeast Coast. When Yuan Xuan was younger, he used to live in that building with his grandmother! The Old Mistress favored him so much that others were jealous of him. Following the Old Mistress by her side, he attended all kinds of family banquets together with her when he was younger! Growing up, he was surrounded by all kinds of nobles and was greatly influenced by them. As such, he grew up with a strong noble aura. Moreover, he was also considered the most honorable member of the Yuan Family. Everyone knew that the orphan of the Yuan Familys eldest son was actually the most favored child in the Yuan Family Mansion! This little boy actually held more privileges than an adult! ... Mu Chenyan reached for her mobile phone and look at the calendar with her cold eyes! September 28th, it was neither Saturday nor Sunday! She knew the Yuan Family Mansions rule, no matter how busy they were, the whole family had to be home on weekends to have dinner together. They were required to be in the Old Mistresss house and it would take a while. Nevertheless, if the Old Mistress called for him on days other than the weekends, it definitely meant that he would be given a special treatment! Today, he should probably be back soon. Whenever Mu Chenyan thought of the Yuan Familys rules, she could not help but sigh. She might have officially married into the family, but that did not necessarily mean she will live a good life. The Old Mistress Yuan was born a noble and her family was also an influential family. Her father was both an important figure in the military and the politics. She married into the Yuan Family with the noble bloodline on top of her own talents. To begin with, not only was her presence was strong but the Old Master also pampered and spoiled her when he was still alive. Due to the Old Masters influence, their sons and daughters truly respected their mother. When it came to the younger generation, they respected and feared the Old Mistress. They dared not even speak in front of her and not to mention act like a spoiled child. Other than one person, and that was Yuan Xuan! Perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, so the Old Mistress favored him a little more. In addition to the Old Mistress, Yuan Xuan was the one with the highest status in the Yuan Family. There was no doubt about it! Yuan Tangbais legacy was a great addition to the Yuan Familys hundred years of foundation. Moreover, Yuan Xuans talent in doing business also brought the Yuan Family to a whole new level. Thus, who dared to have any objections? Nevertheless, this caused Yuan Xuans character to be overly cold and lonely. Other than the Old Mistress, who else truly liked him in the family? In reality, they were actually more afraid of him! ... Yuan Xuan lifted the curtain and before he could step foot into the house, he heard the Old Mistress asking the servant, Why isnt the Young Master here yet? The foxy woman had just only returned today and he was seduced already... Yuan Xuanughed! Foxy woman? Grandmas description suited her very well! Yuan Xuan recalled the way the woman looked as she leaned against the bathtub in the evening. She looked extremely enchanting and was indeed a foxy woman! Chapter 9 - Yuan Xuan Still Sided With That Girl To A Certain Degree

Chapter 9: Yuan Xuan Still Sided With That Girl To A Certain Degree

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Old Mistress looked out the window once again anxiously and urged, Send someone to look for the Young Master and ask him to dinner with me tonight! It was true that people got more affectionate as they grew older! When Yuan Xuan did not eat at home, the Old Mistress would eat a lot lesser! Due to business needs, he had to attend to different social activities. Therefore, he did not have many opportunities to eat dinner with his grandmother! Since he rarely had free time, hence the Old Mistress urged to see him. Yuan Xuan smiled and answered in a low voice, Grandma, theres no need for that. Little Xuan is here! Yuan Xuans usual cold demeanor was gone and he turned into a petty spoiled child. Outsiders would probably never get to see this side of the Yuan Familys Young Master. Who knew that such a decisive and powerful man in Luo Hai City would actuallyugh! Little Xuan waste as he took a shower. Did Grandma wait anxiously? The honorable man passed his coat to the maid as he spoke. He sat next to the Old Mistress apologetically with his legs crossed. It was a good move. He was not only handsome, even his looks and built was first-ss. How could the Old Mistress not love her grandson who was both cultured and talented! I was just talking about it. Since the girl came back today, all you could think about is her and youll forget about visiting Grandma! The Yuan Old Mistress did not say Chenyans name. That was because she did not want to admit that the woman her grandson married used to be a murder suspect! Of course, she never liked Chenyan even from before, but it was never to the point of despising her! After all, the Mu Family was once rtively powerful, so she did not express it too obviously! But now, in addition to Chenyans dark past, the Mu Family was also ruined. As such, the Old Mistress naturally disliked this granddaughter-inw of hers! Yuan Xuan smiled, and handed an incense to the Old Mistress. This was a tribute-grade incense that he ordered someone to bring back from West Asia. It was once sent to the Forbidden City of Beijing to be used by the concubines in the pce! Yuan Xuans dark eyes were unusually calm and he said in a low voice, How dare I forget about visiting Grandma? Chenyan just returned and her body is still a little weak, so Im afraid that her pale face might frighten Grandma. Let her rest for a few days and after herplexion has gotten better, I will bring her along to pay respect to Grandma! The Yuan Old Mistress liked it when he spoke to her respectfully in a nobleman tone! Who would still pay respect in the 21st century? Nheless, if the Empress Dowager Cixi was still alive, she would be treated like this! Both her children and grandchildren had to treat her like that! The tense look on the Old Mistresss face eased and she smiled and said, That girls features arent likable! Her chin is too sharp and shes way too thin. Moreover, herplexion is frighteningly pale! To think that she was once from a noble family, how did they raise their daughter like that! The Yuan Old Mistresss words sounded a little bitter! The servants at the side heard what she said and they nced at each other meaningfully. They sighed internally but dared not say a word. The Old Mistress was probably the only one in this world who wouldin about the appearance of the Mu Familys daughter! Miss Chenyan once astonished everyone in Luo Hai City with her beauty. Regardless of the beautiful girls from the lower families, celebrities or socialites, there were only very few who was even more beautiful than Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan heard his grandmothers words and said without batting an eyelid, Indeed, Chenyan does not look pleasing to the elders because shes too thin! I will ask her to eat more! After gaining a little more weight, she will be even more perfect! The Yuan Old Mistress looked at her grandson as she knew that his words had a hidden meaning to it! He did not refute her words when she said that Chenyan was not likable, but he also did not admit that his wife was ugly! Even more perfect were the words that turned it around! He meant that this girl was already perfect in his eyes... The Old Mistress sighed after knowing that Yuan Xuan still sided with that girl to a certain degree! Otherwise, when that incident happened, Yuan Xuan would not have made a big fuss when the Yuan Family was nning to call off the wedding! That was also the first time that the Old Mistress saw her grandson disobey her... Chapter 10 - Unclean and Guilty?

Chapter 10: Unclean and Guilty?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Probably because the Old Mistress was afraid that it might happen again, she stopped picking on Chenyan. She ordered the maid, Serve the shrimp soup I made from the Australian shrimps to the Young Master! Yourplexion hasnt been looking good, so I ordered some sea shrimps for you. Since your stomach has been sensitive since young, you can only eat this seafood fresh. Its been made since just now but it took you so long to arrive! The Old Mistress was sulking a little! The corners of Yuan Xuans lips curled up and his sharp eagle-like eyes were shining brightly. He then revealed in a subtle tone, The Young Master of the Shao Family in the Capital City is nning to cooperate with me on the oil field in the Southern Sea. Little Xuan is the only one who has the right to be in charge of it! You should know that the Shao Family cannot be underestimated! How could the Old Mistress not know about the Capital Citys Shao Family? The Shao Familys Old Master was Yuan Tangbais childhood friend. When they were younger, they both chased after Yuan Xuans mother! However, Yuan Tangbais character was better, so Jiao Shuzhen choose the Yuan Family! Nevertheless, this woman had a hard life. After giving birth to Yuan Xuan, her health plummeted and she passed away after Tangbais tragic incident! Now that he mentioned the Shao Family, the Old Mistress recalled that there was also a Young Master in the Shao Jing Mountain who was about the same age as Yuan Xuan! Are you talking about that boy Shao Yibai? The Old Mistress recalled meeting the fair and clean-looking boy when he was younger. Unexpectedly, he was now in charge of the Shao Family? Yuan Xuan raised the corners of his eyes and said calmly, Yes, he is the boy that Old Mistress is talking about! The Yuan Old Mistress smiled, The grandchildren generation is making us seem old. When I think about that child, he was only 10 years old in my memories. He probably grew up to be as handsome as you are now, right? Youre right, Grandma, he is indeed very handsome. He even said that he wanted to visit you in a few days! We might be very busy these few days, thats why he could not do so sooner. He told me to deliver this message so that you wont be angry with him! The Yuan Old Mistress sighed, Little Xuan, why are you working so hard when the Yuan Family is not in need of money? If only you agreed to inherit your fathers official position... Yuan Xuan took the teapot and looked inside the pot, Old Mistress, its not good to drink tea at night as youll get insomnia! It was the same every time, Yuan Xuan would always change the topic whenever she mentioned this. The Old Mistress lowered her eyelids and stopped talking after Yuan Xuan interrupted her topic. After seeing Yuan Xuan finish a bowl of shrimp soup and drank some of the Yuan Familys home-brewed wine, the Old Mistress was satisfied. Being leaving, Yuan Xuan ordered the girl who had been serving the Old Mistress, Bring me a bowl of shrimp soup, I want to bring it back to the Hibiscus Garden! The girl was called Jiuer. She had been a helper in the Yuan Family for 10 years and was the Old Mistresss most thoughtful helper. Upon hearing Young Masters orders, she looked towards the Old Mistress. The Old Mistress knew clearly that he wanted to bring it back for Mu Chenyan! Jiuer, deliver a bowl of soup for the Young Master! Yuan Xuan smiled lightly when he saw the unhappy look on the Old Mistress face, I thank Grandma on behalf of Chenyan! Hmmph! Youve forgotten about Grandma after marrying a wife. You should go. I have nothing more to say, but that girl better be clean and innocent. Otherwise, I wont let her ruin the Yuan Familys hundreds year reputation! Yuan Xuan did not say a word and took over the coat that the maid passed to him! The mans side profile seemed near perfect with his upright stature and thick hair resting on his forehead! Yuan Xuan could not help but sigh when he heard his grandmother doubting Chenyan. That silly girl had been obsessed with him ever since she was 10 and there was no one else in her eyes! When she finally got to marry him, something like that had to happen on her wedding day! Now that he thought about it, she was once pure and simple-minded. She probably did not even have the chance to be unfaithful, so how could she be unclean and guilty? Chapter 11 - The Flower That Was a Witness to Love

Chapter 11: The Flower That Was a Witness to Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Mu Chenyan had finished her dinner downstairs, she went to rest in the little garden on the third floor again. Yuan Xuans had a unique eye for aestethics, theyout of the little garden was personally designed by himself. From the chaise lounge to the tea table, and from the nt species to their shapes, all these were reflected his meticulous mind. Due to the wooden structure of the small building, anti-rotting and moisture proofing were the primary concerns. Having so many nts here and this being apletely open-air balcony would naturally cause mildew to grow. Moreover, ordinary soil was too heavy, and the floor of this small building may not be able to bear the weight. Hence, Yuan Xuan imported a lot of special nutritive soil from Japan. This kind of soil had a very low density, and its polymer-basedposite easily and did not require any watering. Just the polymerization of the little moisture in the air would be sufficient to supply water to most of the nts. This not only satisfied the requirement of anti-rotting but also enabled the nts to get the water they need! When she was 15, Chenyans uncle went for an adventure overseas and brought back a type of nameless flower from the Brazilian rainforest! Chenyan loved that nt and even named it Hope Bamboo Basket. She had once read in an ancient book that in paradise, there was a type of peculiar flower which symbolized love, and its name was Hope Bamboo Basket! Mu Chenyan knew that she would not be able to grow this type of delicate nt with her standard, and if she were to abandon it in the wild, it would be an invasive species! What more, the flowers were bewitchingly beautiful when they bloomed and Chenyan could not bear to dispose of them! She must find someone who could carefully care for this kind of nt! Mu Chenyan felt that the one person who waspetent enough to take on this role was none other but Yuan Xuan! Hence, that nt was ced in the little hanging garden in the Yuan Family Mansion! This type of stout nts perennially lived in the rainforest, and so its demand for water was rtively great. Yuan Xuan purposely visited the library for a few days to study about the nt and its habits and discovered that it could not be watered with ordinary tap water! Hence, after Yuan Xuan nting it, he specially re-designed a brand new irrigation system for the small building. The rooftop porch which extended a meter outward at the balcony was built using high-tech sun visor, creating a dark and airy pseudo-rainforest environment for the Hope Bamboo Basket. A dozen of water pipes hung down from the sun visor, and if it rained, the rainwater would flow along the water pipes and be stored in the narrow channel which measured more than 30cm deep underneath the porch. A self-priming device had been installed in the water channel, enabling the nts above to obtain sufficient rainwater. If that incident did not happen and Mu Chenyan had married into the Yuan Family, the Hope Bamboo Basket would have been the flower that was a witness to their love! ... Now was definitely not the season for the flowers to blossom! Yuan Xuan had cultivated many more Hope Bamboo Baskets so that they were not just the lonesome few nts back then. One could envision that when the flowers blossomed, it would surely be a lively scene! Mu Chenyan observed the changes in the garden of the small building. Two years was not a very long time, but before many things could bepleted, time had fleeted by; neither was it a short time as it was more than enough to change a persons temperament and sentiments... When Yuan Xuan walked in, he immediately saw the woman staring at the nts on the first floor in a daze. She must have suffered a great deal in that ce. She had a little baby fat when she went in, but shes now so thin! The once naive, talkative and cheerful girl was now taciturn and mncholy! A thought shed through Yuan Xuans mind, but it was quickly suppressed! Before the times ripe, the less she knows the better! Mu Chenyan realized suddenly that there was someone behind, Yuan Xuan had been standing there for some time. His gaze, which was fervid and candid, without any disguise of his purpose, caused Chenyan to tremble in fear. She recalled his earlier words before he left for the upper court, to have her wait for him at night... Recalling the bathroom scene between both of them earlier in the afternoon, she instantly blushed! Its getting a little chilly at night. Why dont youe inside? Perhaps it was because he sensed her nervousness, coupled with her bashful look that was simply alluring, Yuan Xuan deliberately lowered his pride and hoarsely asked, but his gaze never once averted... Chapter 12 - Unquenchable Passion Between the Brows

Chapter 12: Unquenchable Passion Between the Brows

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. I dont feel cold! It was much colder inside there . Everyone would only have a nket in the winter... Yuan Xuans face darkened as his bright eyes likewise dimmed. He knew exactly where inside there was referring to! She had been pampered and cosseted since young, so she must have suffered a great deal upon being locked up. Now that she was casually talking about it so openly, Yuan Xuans heart trembled a little! She had been in there for two years, but it was not like the enormous changes that were on-going in the outside world could be halted. He simply could not exin himself to her, even if she did hold a grudge against him! Seeing that Yuan Xuan was silent, Mu Chenyan shifted her gaze and looked at the Hope Bamboo Basket before whispering, I thought that these nts wouldve been uprooted and thrown out. I didnt expect you to still be keeping them ! They are something you fancy so much. How could I bear to discard them? Xuan Yuans words were full of sincerity, which were theplete opposite of his previously indifferent manner. There was even a hint of passion rising up from between his brows! Hearing Young Master Yuan say these words will make me misunderstand and think that you actually cared about me ... Mu Chenyan remarked in a low voice. Her manner was apathetic, as if she had just heard a joke. Back in the day, during the time she was pursuing him, being able to hear such words from his mouth would have been so blissful! Now as times had passed and circumstances changed, Chenyan could not help but feel that Yuan Xuan was setting her up, and that what awaited her would just be cheese in the mousetrap... It was obvious that she was still struggling internally! The face-to-face conversation between the two soon lost its meaning. Thus, Yuan Xuan said nothing more and instead turned around to go downstairs! The moment the tall and sturdy figure disappeared down the stairway, Mu Chenyan covered her mouth. She wanted to cry, but forcefully suppressed the surging grievances and hatred rising up from the depths of her heart. Her shoulders trembled and she did her best to hold back her tears, and it was only after quite some time did she manage to calm down. About ten minutester, he brought the shrimp soup sent by Jiu Er upstairs. The soup looked like it had just been heated up! Chenyan must have possessed certaintent genes in being as she had loved seafood since young. The aroma of the shrimp soup happily greeted her nostrils, making it horribly tempting. Because of this, Mu Chenyan was taken aback. In the prison, she was served nothing but watery, tasteless soup. This inhumane starvation had caused her to be weak toward these kind of delicacies she was oh so very fond of. Yuan Xuan saw her expression, which was simr to that of a hesitant kitten who wanted to eat and an evil smile crept up on his face. Eat up! Itll be time for exerciseter... Mu Chenyan was initially dying to eat, but upon hearing these words, her face became pale from fear as she lost her appetite! Im not eating! Mu Chenyan began sulking and immediately turned her face away from Yuan Xuan! Yuan Xuan slowly put down the bowl. Then, his elegant hands began caressing her short, ck hair , eventually stopping at the ends. His husky voice purred, Why? Still cant ept the fact that youre already Mistress Yuan? Mu Chenyan trembled as her eyes met with his, only for her to she coldly snap, Yuan Xuan, the 12 years I spent pursuing you were rewarded with 2 years of imprisonment! Not to mention, even as my life was hanging by a thread in the prison, you ignored the decades of friendship between the Mu and Yuan Family and swallowed up the Mu Family, causing my dad to die in a tragic ident during his escape, and my brother to disappear without a word! Now youre telling me that you want to have me. How can you even spout such nonsense? Ill tell you now, Ive been a fool for more than ten years, but I shant be one any longer! So? Yuan Xuans dark eyes were filled with murderous intent as he waited for the woman to vent all her dissatisfaction before inly asking. Divorce! I want a divorce!! Mu Chenyans tone was firm and unquestionable. It had been 14 years since their rtionship had first began. As she uttered these words, she could clearly hear a loud breaking sound echo out from the deepest parts of her heart... The intensity of how she yearned to marry him back then was now channelled into the anger she felt at this moment. As she faced the Brother Xuan whom she had always dreamt of marrying, the intention she expressed at this moment was to have a divorce? Yuan Xuan sneered as cruel mockery crept up from the corner of his mouth. His warm and moist lips were sexy and full. Having already experienced her sweetness, all he wanted now was to swallow her uppletely. Yet, this woman had brought up the topic of divorce! Dream on! Chapter 13 - Want a Divorce? Youre Not Done Paying Off the Debt You Owe Me

Chapter 13: Want a Divorce? Youre Not Done Paying Off the Debt You Owe Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion You want a divorce? Yes! Mu Chenyan had pondered this matter for a long time in the prison, so her reply was without any hesitation! You may want a divorce, but thats all the more reason why I wont let you have it! Yuan Xuan sniggered as he suddenly reached out his hands to pull her into his arms, his deep voice growling right into her ear. You want a divorce? Youre not done paying off the debt you owe me! Mu Chenyan shuddered when she heard this. The debt I owe him? Was he referring to Shu Qingers and her unborn childs death? She chuckled bitterly as her little face shed a bitter grin. Until now, you still think that Im the one who killed Sister Qinger... Yuan Xuan was silent, his gaze interchanging between a state of indifference and passion unpredictably! Mu Chenyan assumed that this was him tacitly agreeing. Is that why youve done so many horrible things to the Mu Family. Was it just to retaliate against me? I cant believe you didnt believe me! You sent Wu Ze to defend me, thus, not granting me a quick death. Was that also a form of torture? Did you get me out of there just because youve thought of a new trick to use on me to take revenge? As Mu Chenyan spoke, her tears began flowing down her face. The more silent Yuan Xuan was, the more confident Mu Chenyan became that she had correctly guessed his ns. To think that she had wasted a dozen years of pursuit and fixation on such a person... When he thought of this, a sense of pain and indignation ate at her tender heart! Yuan Xuan watched her painful expression and lifted her tiny face before affectionately kissing the corner of her eyes, swallowing every drop of her bitter tears. Dont cry, it makes my heart ache! His soft and maic voice grew deeper as he whispered. Mu Chenyan could not hold back her emotions any longer! He could be indifferent to her or he could mock her, but all her defenses would crumble away the moment he was gentle to her... His tenderness, which she had long hoped for in the past, had now turned into a form of humiliation for her! Why was he being gentle to her right now? Was it to cause her to fall in love with him again, only to cruelly thrust a knife into her heart again? God! How cruel! Fine, if you want me to pay off my debt, and you want to have me,e on. Come and take it... Her debt had to be paid off regardless of the circumstances. While speaking, Chenyan pulled open her nightgown! Her snow-like skin was exposed to the air, and the two soft, poking parts turned red from the stimtion of the cold air... Her delicate tiny face was also filled with sorrowful tears as a feminine fragrance that seemed to have a floral touch quickly overwhelmed Yuan Xuans senses! A hint of hesitation shed across Yuan Xuans face. After this, he looked coldly into Mu Chenyans fuming eyes before tidying up her clothes. Since the two of them were arguing so much, it was clearly not a suitable time to relive their wedding night! Suddenly, Mu Chenyan derisively snickered. Ive been blind for more than ten years to love a person like you and keep my virginity. If Id known earlier, Id have simply given it to any other man and not save it for you... These words were malicious, and Yuan Xuans heart felt as though it was being stabbed by a sharp sword! She could rage and be unreasonable, disruptive even, but she could never stop loving him... Much less, give her body to another man! A vicious intent emerged in Yuan Xuans heart. He could not allow the situation she mentioned to happen. This highly possessive man was willing to stuff her into prison for two years just to keep her to himself, so how could it be that after everything was over, he would allow her to harbor the thought of not loving him anymore? Give yourself to another man? His big hand grabbed her chin hard as he venomously repeated her words. Mu Chenyan had never seen Yuan Xuan using this kind of ferocious tone on her. She was a little frightened, and her body began shuddering involuntarily! His expression had always been indifferent toward her, it was never like it was right now. The mask he was wearing at the moment was evil and full of murderous intent! She was not aware that her words had trampled on a mans pride, and that she had sessfully given birth to an envious demon deep within his heart... Suddenly, Yuan Xuan picked her up and slung her over his shoulder! The strength in his big hands was powerful, so much so that Mu Chenyan felt that her slim little waist was about to snap at any moment! She yelped all the way until she was thrown onto arge, soft bed. Only then was the poor little woman able to take a breather! She lifted her gaze and saw that the man was now undressing, his seductive, exposed abs subtly beckoning for her to touch them... Mu Chenyan stared at them intently,pletely forgetting what a dangerous situation she was in... Chapter 14 - Who Wants to Moan?

Chapter 14: Who Wants to Moan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Before this, Yuan Xuan was angered by her words, but upon seeing her expression, which was of someone who was clearly infatuated, he became forgiving! Nheless, her snow-like skin which had previously been kept underneath the bathrobe was too tempting. What was he supposed to do now? The man thought back to two years ago. They were supposed to enjoy their wedding night that day, but that day took an eternity to arrive. He was afraid that if they were to dy any further, this irrational woman would genuinely go off and find a random man to just give herself to! He did not want to be cuckolded!! Youre already 24 years old, and yet, youre still inexperienced. Even I am worried for you! He reached out to grab her sharp chin and lifted her head to force her to look straight at him. Then, his slender fingers caressed her pink lips C the rough touch of his fingertips strange, yet, familiar! Yuan Xuans evil yet charming face had a strange smile on it. A hint of sarcasm coupled with an unreadable ambiguity that caused Mu Chenyan to tremble involuntarily on the bed. Thats none of your concern... She was reluctant to admit it, but she had no control over the situation. She already didnt dare to look him in the eye as he was slowly breaking down her walls. Im your husband. Whose concern is it if not mine? How can I let the healthy veggies get trampled by the pigs* (TN: A Chinese saying for a beauty being given over to an odious man)? His voice was strained and carried an obvious intent. Likewise, as Yuan Xuan spoke, his dark figure pressed down on her in a manner that could not be refused! Mu Chenyan turned her head as her face gradually flushed red. Every inch of her skin began to warm up, like a dry prairie that had just been ignited with a spark... This defeated expression seemed to put Yuan Xuan in a much better mood. The corner of his mouth subconsciously curled upward as he spoke in a deep voice , I havent even touched you, but youre already this sensitive? Yuan Xuans Adams apple was quivering, and his tanned skin glinted beautifully under the lights. Mu Chenyan did not dare open her mouth, let alone look him in the eye. His eyes were full of affection, like a bottomlesske with surging undercurrents that were reflective of the agitation that was suppressed within him. She was afraid that all the courage that she had mustered over the previous two years was about to crumble in an instant! She was afraid that the hatred she had grown in her heart would be blown out in a heartbeat. It was tough. After all, she had loved him for more than ten years. How could one simply overwrite this love that was once so deeply engraved in their heart? However, right now, she was afraid to love again. Moreover, she was well aware that she should not, in fact, love again! Yuan Xuan, keep... your distance from me... Mu Chenyans voice quivered a little. She intended to express her rejection, but her voice was weak and vaguely arousing, making it seem inviting instead. What if I dont? Yuan Xuan grabbed her hands and lifted them above her head before holding them down on therge ck bed. Then, he pressed his body on top of her. They were now so close that their breaths started to intece with one another. As Mu Chenyan smelt the faint scent of high-grade tobo mixed with the smell of a minty aftershave. Her eyes zed over and she became weaker. Yuan Xuan quickly noticed the sensually dazed state that she was in and smiled victoriously. Then, his lips closed in on her ears as he blew hot air and asked, Dont you like me acting like this? This extremely seductive move caused the little darling underneath to panic even more! The involuntarily rubbing of their bodies was born out of her attempt to flee, but it was like adding oil to the fire! His body shuddered as a result of this. Yuan Xuan licked his dry lips once he saw the tender red lips of the darling under him part slightly. Then, he unceremoniously kissed her! Initially, he just wanted to have a taste of her, but he quickly realized that this woman was a poison, and things soon got out of hand, to the point where he could not stop even if he wanted to. The exceptionally restrained man was now bing frenzied, pressing harder by the minute, iming territories, and kissing with increasing passion. Only when the woman teared up due to ack of oxygen did he finally release her lips. Mu Chenyan seized the opportunity to breathe in a few gaping mouthfuls of air before unrelentingly continuing his attack! ... Mu Chenyan, on the other hand, did not know when she stopped resisting. She had forgotten to refuse, forgotten to struggle, forgotten the hatred in her heart, and slowly but surely becamepliant, epting even. She was annoyed at her uselessness, but she was unable to control the honest reaction from her body... Yuan Xuan... Suddenly, a severe pain caused her to snap back to attention. The woman began to snivel as strands of hair which were wet with sweat stuck to her forehead. Her small hands clutched onto his shoulders, her ten fingers cutting marks into his shoulderdes! Chenyan, youre mine now! Youre mine for life! Mu Chenyans eyes opened wide, but tears immediately came gushing out. She had pursued him for more than ten years, and just as she had decided to give up, he had mentioned the words for life. Seeing that she was still crying, Yuan Xuan lowered his head and began to peck along the trail of tears on her cheeks, causing her to bawl even harder. After a long time, the woman finally calmed down. The pain was not so distinct anymore. Only then did she realize that the two of them had only just begin their night! Yuan Xuan smiled and asked in a low voice, Can I begin now? If you want to moan, try keep it down. The instion in this small wooden building isnt that good. Ah Fus still young , so lets not scare her! Moan? Who wants to moan? Moan your *ss... Chapter 15 - Yuan Xuans Attentive Care

Chapter 15: Yuan Xuans Attentive Care

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Little Chenyan, Ill let you off for now... The man suddenly ended it, albeit whilst still feeling a little unsatisfied, and left for a bath. The woman, on the other hand, was exhausted. She turned around and immediately fell asleep. After the man had taken a good bath ande out, he noticed the hickeys all over her body. Only then did he realize that he had indeed gone out of control. Perhaps it was because he had been restraining himself for so long, that when the years of suppression was unleashed, even someone as self-discipline as himself was not able to restrain the frenzy. He recalled how she was previously crying and begging for mercy, and his heart ached a little. He gently pecked her on the forehead, causing the unconscious woman to furrow her brows. He then hugged her slim waist from behind and inhaled the smell of her sweaty skin. This scent! It was unique and refreshing! It seems like the sweat of a woman is truly fragrant! Yuan Xuan could not stop himself from chuckling at the thought. ... The next morning, just as the sun was peeking in from the balcony located in the corner of the small building, Mu Chenyan started to open her eyes. She nced across the room only to discover that her assant was no where to be seen! Mu Chenyan got up, her entire body feeling so sore that it felt like it was falling apart. She finally understood what the novels meant when they talked about not being able to close ones legs... It did not feel good at all! If she had a choice, she would have much rather put up a fierce fight then be trampled the way she was. Last night was her first time, but now, that one night of battling had caused her to be scared to death of this supposedly sacred act between a man and woman! It was not that Yuan Xuan was not skilled, but that he too savage, thus making her really frightened! I might not survive very long if I dont leave this brutal ce. ... Ah Fu knocked on the door and asked in a low voice, Is Young Mistress awake? Breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it now? Mu Chenyan mumbled a response before picking out a high-cored sweater from the closet to cover the hickeys literring her neck! After checking herself in front of the mirror numerous times, she realized that the light-colored sweater seemed to make her appear paler, so to fix that, she applied a little lipstick. As she carried a backpack downstairs, her slender legs quivered a little. Upon seeing Ah Fu, Mu Chenyan instantly recalled Yuan Xuans words fromst night the sound instion of this small building was not that good... Last night I really did moan absurdly loud. What a disgrace! Young Mistress, may I serve you now? Ah Fu was smiling happily. She was a child after all. Even though Mu Chenyans attitude was terribly indifferent, the girl continued to be as enthusiastic as always. Im not eating at home! Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly tried to cut short their contact. Is the Young Mistress heading out? Ah Fu curiously examined the way Chenyan was dressed. She saw her wearing a random sweater whilst carrying a backpack, and she raised her eyebrow. Furthermore, her pure and naive appearance hid her underlying 20-something age well. Ah Fu sighed inwardly. Mistress really looks good in anything! Mu Chenyan nodded and suddenly remembered the instructions Butler Fu had left with the housemaid when she walked in yesterday. She was uncertain about whether she could head out sessfully. Im going out to meet a friend. When the Young Master returns, please inform him that Ill be back for dinner! Mu Chenyan began to leave, although she was not sure whether or not Yuan Xuan had given Ah Fu instructions to limit her freedom. However, since there had been a substantial change in their rtionship as ofst night, he would not be making any moves today, would he? Oh! Young Master said to pass this to you. If anythinges up, you can call him. His number is in it! Ah Fu suddenly piped up before carefully handing over a new mobile phone. Yuan Xuan was really thoughtful in remembering that she still didnt own a mobile phone! She took the phone and saw that there was indeed only one contact in it, his. When did this man start bing so attentive toward her? In the past, it was so difficult for her to see his smiling face, but now, he was being so caring . Perhaps this was because that he was afraid of her running away... could it be that he still had more punishments for her? Mu Chenyan gave a coldugh as she thought of this. Then, she looked at the contact number she had always known by heart saved in the phone, and a hint of steely determination shed through her eyes. Chapter 16 - When the Living Turn Ruthless, They Are More Terrifying Than the Dead!

Chapter 16: When the Living Turn Ruthless, They Are More Terrifying Than the Dead!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan walked out of the door only to discover that no one was stopping her. She realized that she must have been over-thinking things and that Yuan Xuan was not going to confine her to the house after all. This area they stayed in was a wealthy suburb, and all the vehicles going in and out were driven by drivers. Taxi drivers would be wasting their time if they came here. Hence, Mu Chenyan had to walk quite a distance before she managed to hail a ride. Once she got into the taxi, a person in a ck car not far away immediately floored the elerator so that he could begin trailing the taxi. ... The enormous trees on both sides of the road loomed over the road, obscuring the sunlight as the car drove through the dark mountain road. Thete autumn mountain breeze was chilly, which made Mu Chenyan wrap the woolen coat tightly around herself. Her eyes were fixed on the pair of canvas shoes in front of her as she gradually dozed off. The driver noticed her young age through the rear-view mirror. Her quiet demeanor and the indescribable mncholy in her eyes made her appear stunningly beautiful. Because of this, he could not resist having a chat with her! Is Miss from around here? Yeah. You dont look very old. Do you live nearby? Mhmm. Mu Chenyans personality had changed drastically ever since she was released from prison. The old her was a chatty and joyous person. Whether it was in thedies socialite circle, or with the ordinary citizen, she was always warm and approachable! However, the current her had be rather introverted. It was hard for her acquaintances to talk with her, much less random strangers. Her highest record ever was not having spoken a word for more than three months in prison... The frosty replies coupled with her insipid character and a certain wariness in her eyes made the driver realize that he could not continue the conversation . Thus, he spoke no more. It was almost noon when she stopped to buy some stuff from a shop that sold sacrificial offerings on the way. Her eyes were closed, up until the taxi driver informed her that they had arrived at the North Hill Cemetery. Mu Feng, her father, was buried here. Mu Chenyan paid the fare and was about to leave with her backpack in hand when the driver kindlymented, Young beauty, theres hardly anyone in this area. Youre all alone in the cemetery, so make sure to keep an eye out! Mu Chenyan nced around, and sure enough, the ce was empty. This cemetery was rather remote in the first ce, and since it was not a weekend, there were even fewer peopleing here to offer their offerings today. She nced at the quiet nk walkway which was covered with the mottled shadows of the trees and shivered. This ce was indeed eerie! Mu Chenyan nodded. Thank you, sir. When the living turned ruthless, they were even more terrifying than the dead! She had already experienced the vicious attack from the living, and after getting injured, she had simply licked her wounds and trudged on. So why would she be afraid of the dead lying deep in the ground? How bout I wait for you here? Its not easy for you to hail a ride when you head backter. Ill be outside. At least you wont be scared if you know that theres a living being nearby! The driver was worried about the girl, so he quickly suggested waiting for her. Mu Chenyan sighed as a mist formed in her dark eyes. She replied softly, Its fine. I want to apany my dad for some time. You can head back first. The driver saw that her heart seemed to be in a state of intense sorrow and realized that there was nothing more he could do for her, so he turned the car around and left. Meanwhile, when the man in the ck car behind saw Mu Chenyan walking into the low thickets next to the cemetery, he picked up the phone and dialed a number. Third Young Master, Young Mistress has entered the North Hill Cemetery! ... She had been in prison for less than a year when the Mu Family fell into an economic crisis. There was a scandal about Mu Feng abusing his position during his military days to traffic firearms... Thus, the Mu n was put in a tight spot. However, Mu Feng had thought that the Yuan Family would help them out for old times sake. Not to mention, now they were rtives via marriage! However, no one expected Yuan Xuan to wantonly seize the Mu Familys shares and submit a report to the authorities stating that the Mu n had once bribed a financial officer during a bidding campaign. This corruption report was the straw that broke the camels back. Mu Feng was hemmed in from all sides, so he sold all of his possessions and tried to escape during the dead of the night, only to be unexpectedly involved in a car ident whilst on the freeway leading out of town... Her mother, Yan Mei, on the other hand, was put in aa and had to be ced in the hospitals intensive care unit whereby she had to rely on a venttor just to stay alive! Her father was was buried here! Furthermore, they had not heard anything about her older brother, Mu Chenwu. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. ... Chapter 17 - Dad, Ive Come to See You...

Chapter 17: Dad, Ive Come to See You...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan looked at the photo of the man on the gravestone as her eyes filled with tears. She sat down and retrieved from the offerings from inside her backpack before softly saying, Dad, Ivee to see you... Mu Chenyan thought back to her childhood. Her mother had been very good to her; in fact, it was due to her gentleness and kindness that Mu Chenyan had grown into such a cheerful person. Mu Feng, on the other hand, was very strict, even to the extent of being harsh on her! When her older brother failed his exam, her father would encourage him. Its alright. Youll do better the next time... However, when she scored 95 for her Maths paper, her father criticized her. Its obvious that you couldve scored one hundred, but you were careless... On another asion, during Mu Chenwus birthday party, many friends came over to celebrate the asion with him. There was a fiveyered birthday cake and a plethora of birthday presents from all the various influential families in the area. The total amount of gifts would have filled up Mu Chenwus room! However, her father always seemed to forget that there was also a young miss in the Mu Family, and that she also had a birthday... Later, once she had grown up, she slowly began to understand that the reason her father did not like her was not because she was not outstanding enough, rather, there existed an indescribable gap between her and Father, causing the supposedly intimate rtionship to be somewhat cold! During high school, after Yuan Xuan went abroad to further his studies, Mu Chenyan pleaded with her father. She too wanted to go overseas for grad school, but mainly so that she could pursue the man whom she loved. This was the one and only time that Mu Feng readily granted her request. Looking back on it, Mu Feng had probably realized how helpful it would be if his daughter was able to find shelter under the huge tree that was Xuan Yuan. This would benefit him greatly too! Even so, Mu Chenyan wept uncontrobly once heard about the ident and that her family had been torn apart while she was in prison. She was a firm believer of the saying that as long as ones parents were still alive, there was always a ce to call home; when ones parents were no longer around, all that was left in life was the slow march toward death! Without the Mu Family, she was all alone! Moreover, she now had to face Yuan Xuan, the man whom she had once crazily pursued and loved deeply, but whom was also was the cause of her familys tragedy. Mu Chenyans heart tightened at the thought of this. ... All her experiences growing up in the Mu Family shed through her mind like a movie. The happy and painful moments had be nothing but distant memories following the death of her father and her mothersa. It was not long before Mu Chenyan lost track of time in front of the gravestone. When the sky turned dark, the graveyard fell into an ethereal of silence. It was dead silent apart from the asional sound of birds pping their wings. Only once she felt the cold wind biting at her did she realize that she had been sitting in the cemetery for much too long. When she got up, her legs were already numb. Furthermore, since she had not eaten anything in the afternoon, her stomach had been growling in protest all this time. Mu Chenyan dusted off her legs,posed herself, and walked out of the cemetery. She scanned the open space around and sure enough, not a soul was in sight, save for two old guards having a quiet conversation. She recalled the words of the driver and was slightly regretful. True enough, its impossible for me to hail a ride here. Mu Chenyan mumbled and wrapped herself tightly in her dark green woolen coat. Her pale little face shrunk into the cor of the coat, leaving only a pair of big ck eyes exposed. After this, she swung her backpack around her shoulder and strolled along the nk walkway by theke. Looks like I wont be making it back in time for dinner... I wonder, will that man give me a call upon realizing that I am not home? Thinking of the phone Yuan Xuan gave to her, Mu Chenyan took it out and immediately hesitated, still unable to make a decision about whether or not to call him. She struggled for some time, not noticing the ck Rolls-Royce on the other side of the road. Inside the Rolls-Royce was a man was watching the absent-minded her with a gloomy expression. Third Young Master, should we ask the young mistress to get into the car? Yan Jun felt that his CEO was behaving a little strangely. He had been here the whole afternoon but was reluctant to show his face, even going so far as to order that the car be hidden in the bushes. This was a Rolls-Royce, but it had be a surveince vehicle that afternoon. As for the two of them.. one was absent-mindedly strolling by the roadside, while the other was keeping absolutely quiet in the car. The cemetery is right there... Cmon, this aint a good ce to be courting... Chapter 18 - The Name of Yuan Tangbai Is a Taboo in the Yuan Family

Chapter 18: The Name of Yuan Tangbai Is a Taboo in the Yuan Family

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan waved his hand and Yan Jun quickly stopped the car by the roadside. Mu Chenyan was taken aback by the sudden emergence of the car that now blocked her way. Her cold little face was now red from the cold. She frowned slightly and poked her head out of the cor of her jacket. The car window slowly rolled down, allowing her to see inside. However, once she saw the handsome face of the man in the car, the womans expression switched from dissatisfaction to confusion. Why... Why are you here? She watched Yuan Xuan get down from the car, and inadvertently took a step back, as if to keep a safe distance from him. She seemed to have forgotten all aboutst night whereby the distance between the two of them was basically non-existent... Yuan Xuans face was grim, and he did not speak. His dark eyes shed like that of an eagles as they swept across Mu Chenyans pale face in silence. Upon seeing that she was still keeping her guard up, the corner of his mouth curled upward in a mocking smile. Im here to visit father-inw! Hearing him speak in a tone so full of ridicule caused Mu Chenyan to quiver in anger. Isnt this man the reason Mu Feng is lying here? Yet he still has the guts toe here to crack such a disgusting joke? You feel a twisted sense of achievement, dont you? Seeing me in such misery, seeing Yuan Tangbais formerrade lying deep underground, seeing that youve single-handedly crushed the second most prestigious household in Luo Hai City, the Mu Family. Mu Chenyan let out all the hate that had been writhing in her heart. Xuan Yuan grit his teeth as his cold gaze swept across every inch of Mu Chenyan. Uttering Yuan Tangbais name was a taboo in the Yuan Family! Yuan Xuan was already a well-known child prodigy before he even reached the age of five, known for having an exceedingly high IQ and EQ. Because Yuan Tangbai ced extreme importance on the nurturing of his son, he would spend a lot of timemunicating with his young child whenever he had the time, even going so far as to bring him to the military camp to attend important meetings. It could be said that in the little Yuan Xuans heart, his tall and handsome father was the perfect example of what a strong grown-up should be like. Simrly, it was this deep-seated adoration and respect that changed Yuan Xuan so radically after he got the news about his fathers death. That cheerful optimistic little boy became the most lonely kind of person overnight an orphan. It was because of this that nobody dared to call out his fathers name in front of Yuan Xuan out of fear of reopening old wounds. Today, however, Mu Chenyan had used his fathers reputation to subtly taunt Yuan Xuan. She had implicitly called him ungrateful by striking his fathers formerrade when thetter was down. This was a p to Yuan Xuans face! Get in the car! The two pairs of eyes locked, and the man immediatelymanded her in a deep voice. It was obvious that he was doing his best to control his anger. With this, Mu Chenyan knew that she had infuriated Yuan Xuan, and she quietly smiled at the fact she was getting a bit of payback! She icily stared at Yuan Xuans livid face, then gave a cold sneer as she brushed her hair away from her face. I thought you wouldve hit me! After all, Ive hit a sore spot, right? Yuan Xuans sour expression turned piercingly cold as the bulging veins on his forehead began throbbing! It was only because he could not bear to hurt the woman before him that he held back... he would have swung his fist if it had been anyone else. Dont provoke me anymore! The tone of Yuan Xuans warning frightened Mu Chenyan a little. She stopped talking, but she also did not obediently get into the car. The two of them had a silent stare-off for some time, each backed by a sense of resentment toward the other. Yuan Xuan did not want to hurt her, but as he watched this stubborn woman stare rebelliously at him, he eventually exploded and pulled her into the car! Drive! Yuan Xuans deep voice made Yan Jun jump with fear. He had stayed by Yuan Xuans side since young, and he knew very well that when this prince was unhappy and in a snotty mood, Luo Hai would have to tremble and obediently obey. What more when this man was at his breaking point? Chapter 19 - Hurting You Was Never My Intention

Chapter 19: Hurting You Was Never My Intention

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The car swiftly sped along the main road. Yan Jun sneaked a peek at the pair of enemies through the rear-view mirror and saw that although the two were both seated in the backseat, there was a clear gap in between the two. He sighed to himself. The Miss Mu from back in the day would seize every possible opportunity to get close to Third Young Master. Everywhere he went, she would be like a tiny tail attached to Third Young Master, her soft voice affectionately calling for him... Now, the two were finally a couple, yet they were acting distant and estranged. What a twist of fate! ... Mu Chenyan was feeling aggrieved and annoyed. The hands which Yuan Xuan had grabbed were now bruised. That damned man! Hes so rough! Mu Chenyan endured the pain and shook her arms. However, after noticing that Yuan Xuan was looking at her out of the corner of his eye, she turned away and ignored him. Although Yuan Xuan was angry, he did not want to hurt her. His face became grim as looked at the pair of pale and tender hands on the seat, then at the bruises that now covered her wrists. After this, he quietly scooted over to her. A feeling of sadness arose from the bottom of the heart, a feeling known as heartache... Mu Chenyan, on the other hand, realized that he was moving closer, so she quickly leaned in further against the side of the door! When Yuan Xuan saw her disy her anger by distancing herself from him, he let out a sigh. He stretched out his big hand and forcefully pulled her over to his side! What are you doing? Let me go! Mu Chenyan frowned as she used her hands and feet to try to push away Yuan Xuan. The two, who had only just been intimatest night, knew very well how dangerous it was to be this close to each other. Dont move, Little Chenyan, I just want to hold you in my arms. Not that I really mind you moving about in my arms either! Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse and deep. This king of maic voices caused Mu Chenyan to instantly recall the night before whereby every time he pushed in, he would mutter softly into her ears, Little Chenyan, do you like it when I act like this? Her small face instantly flushed red. Chenyan was ashamed and annoyed! The two were still quarreling, but at this moment, she was also recalling that embarrassing and heart-throbbing scene. Oh, how useless she had been! She had spent two years training herself to get rid of her cutesy manner and still her temperament, yet she had been so quickly ovee by a few of Yuan Xuans unwitting moves and gaze. How could she not be aggrieved and annoyed at herself? Does it still hurt? Kneading her small hands, Yuan Xuans tone became extremely gentle. He had never experienced this kind of pain in his heart before. Even Yan Jun, who was driving, felt the atmosphere make a 180-turn. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Who knew Third Young Master could be this tender? Wakaka... Mu Chenyan pursed her lips and did not reply. Compared to the old her, her current self was devoid of emotion. Yuan Xuan sighed. He held her chin in his hands and met her eyes. His thin lips curled softly upward, revealing an attractive arc. Mu Chenyan could not resist such charm. She hurriedly shook her head and replied in a quiet voice, Not anymore. Yuan Xuan was still worried. He massaged her small hands and calmly said, Little Chenyan, dont be so hard-headed the next time. I cant control my temper well, and Im afraid of hurting you... Chenyans eyes reddened and she turned her head away. Then, she responded in her a hoarse voice, Are the emotional harms youve caused me any less? Yuan Xuan didnt give an answer. His eyes dimmed as he replied, In the future, Ill provide you a reasonable exnation, but for now, the less you know the better. You just have to remember that hurting you was never my intention! This was the first time Mu Chenyan had heard Yuan Xuan speaking to her in this kind of tone. She could not help but question whether or not Yuan Xuan was hiding something from her. Yuan Xuans face darkened and he said no more. Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Xuans was the type of person who was strong-willed enough that, if he did not want to talk about something, no one would be able to pry open his mouth. Chapter 20 - Sister-in-law, Why Didnt You Call Me When the Tea Was Brewed

Chapter 20: Sister-inw, Why Didnt You Call Me When the Tea Was Brewed

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The sky was already dark by the time they returned to the Yuan Family Mansion. When Yuan Xuan arrived home, his face seemed distant and emotionless. He said nothing as he changed his clothes before immediately leaving again. Mu Chenyan did not know where Yuan Xuan ran off to. After taking a bath and changing her clothes, she went into the small tea room and made herself some Puer tea. Ah Fu was afraid that Yuan Xuan would reprimand him if the Young Mistress only drank tea without having dinner, so he quickly ced her dinner on a small dining table and brought it into the tea room. Young Mistress, before Young Master headed out, he left instructions for you to finish all this... Only after looking at the small dining table Ah Fu carried in did Mu Chenyan remember that she had not eaten anything the whole day. She had been so pissed off by Yuan Xuan that she had even forgotten that she was hungry! Even good tea cant be drunk on an empty stomach. Yet, there is so much food. Am I supposed to finish all of this? It seemed like Yuan Xuan was bent on looking after her as though he were rearing a pig... Chenyan picked up the chopsticks to taste some of the food and immediately found it to be rather appetizing. Having tasted the savoriness of the food, the greedy worms in her stomach were revived. They growled and mored, prompting her to actually follow Yuan Xuans instruction and wipe up all the food on the small dining table... After she ate and drank to her fill, Mu Chenyan belched and felt somewhat better. After a while, she looked up at the sky outside. It seemed that Yuan Xuan would not be returning any time soon, so Mu Chenyan picked out a book from the bookshelf and began to read attentively. Sister-inw? Why didnt you call me after the tea was brewed? A gentle voice suddenly called out, its sweet-sounding tone traveling through the wooden door of the tea room. Mu Chenyan was startled, and she quickly spotted a pretty little faceing through the door. She was so surprised that she blurted out, Tian Tian! Yuan Tian frowned and pouted yfully. Although sister-inws back, big bro wouldnt let mee to disturb you, iming that your bodys weak and that you need a good rest. Yet, here I see sister-inw drinking tea. You seem to be doing just fine! Yuan Tian approached Chenyan as she spoke. Her previously girly appearance, after a three-year-growth period, now gave off an exceptional glow. Yuan Tian was the daughter of the Yuan Familys third son, Yuan Tangshuo, and the youngest among the Yuan Familys third generation. Everyone usually called her Fifth Miss. Because she was roughly the same age as Mu Chenyan, back when Mu Chenyan mingled with the Yuan Family to pursue Yuan Xuan, Yuan Tian had seized the opportunity to acquire a bestie. Tian Tian, dont simply call me sister-inw! Whereve you been these past few years? I thought that... Id never see you again... Mu Chenyan began to sob. She got very emotional upon seeing Yuan Tian. After holding Mu Chenyans hand, waves of warmth began to fill Yuan Tians heart. Am I not back now? Yuan Tian was gentle as she tugged at Mu Chenyans sleeves. Her delicate expression was extremely adorable! To Mu Chenyan, even if she and Yuan Xuan got divorced, the one in the Yuan Family whom she would always fondly recall would be Yuan Tian. They were of the same kind C both of them were daughters who were not doted on by their families. Hence, the two girls had been exceedingly appreciative of each other since young. Mu Chenyan was slightly older, and as such, the carefree Yuan Tian was secretly rather attached to the well-mannered and courteous Mu Chenyan! During the years when Mu Chenyan studied abroad, this little girl would constantly go overseas to visit her. It was during the years that she was preparing to marry Yuan Xuan that Yuan Tian suddenly disappeared from the Yuan Family. The Yuan Family kept mum regarding the whereabouts of Yuan Tian, and although Mu Chenyan asked around, she could never get any concrete information. She was extremely apprehensive, but Yuan Xuan remained tight-lipped about the matter. After Mu Chenyan was caught in that tragic mess, the two did not see each other again, so this reunion was three years in the making. Because of this, Mu Chenyan could not suppress her excitement, regardless of how upset she had been beforehand. Tian Tian, whereve you been these past few years? After calming down, Mu Chenyan poured a cup of tea for Yuan Tian, and the two slender girls sat back on the tatami mat. Yuan Tian sipped the cup of Puer tea and sighed. Chenyan, honestly, I cant remember anything surrounding the past three years! Mu Chenyans eyes widened when she heard this. I only remember the things from the past. Whenever I try to recall the events that happened during the past three years, my head would ache badly and I would have to stop. Not to mention, my family wouldnt tell me anything, so I simply give up asking! Yuan Tian found it strange that she lost three years worth of her memory, but her family simply told her that she was ill and that the condition was a result of her sickness. I heard from my brother... that he put you in prison for two years... Suddenly, Yuan Tian carefully whispered while observing Mu Chenyans expression. Chapter 21 - My Brothers Heart Has Been Shrouded

Chapter 21: My Brothers Heart Has Been Shrouded

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan knew that although Yuan Tian had only recently returned, she was probably already fully aware of the events that had transpired over the past two years. Its all over now! Im sitting here and talking to you now, right? Her indifferent expression did not appear to hide anything, whilst her calm tone seemed to harbor no feelings of resentment. Moreover, her previously elfish and abnormallyrge eyes werepletely still, making it seem as though Yuan Tians heart had truly grieved. Chenyan, I know that you wouldnt have killed someone, much less done such a cruel thing! Yuan Tian tugged at Chenyans sleeve somewhat emotionally. You believe me but unfortunately, your brother doesnt... As Mu Chenyan spoke, she used the wooden teaspoon to stir the tea leaves inside the teapot before using the strainer to filter the newly boiled beverage for Yuan Tian. If he believed me, then he wouldnt have been so cruel to the Mu Family... When Mu Chenyan recalled Mu Fengs cold photo on the gravestone and the destruction of her family, she quickly realized that her rtionship with Yuan Xuan could not return to the way it had been before. Yuan Xuan had taken revenge on the Mu Family without batting an eyelid. The family of four were all left either injured or dead while her older brother had gone missing without a trace, leaving her as the sole surviving member of the Mu Family. Although her current status was that of the Yuan Familys Young Mistress, she was still wary. Did Yuan Xuan secretly intend to rip her body into a thousand pieces, shatter her bones and scatter her ashes? Did he bind her to his side with the intention to use this mask of tenderness to hide the blunt de that he would eventually bludgeon her to death with? My brothers heart has definitely been shrouded. How is that Shu Qinger any better than you? That person has already died, but my brother is still acting strangely. How could he be so stupid as to actually believe that youre a murderer? You dont have to be sad anymore now, because the judge has already ruled you innocent. Anything that anyone says is irrelevant. If you only concern yourself with being the dignified Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, then what else can my brother do to you? Yuan Tian was clearly furious. The previous Mu Chenyan who was so alluring, dazzling, and could even im a family background, talents, and beauty that others could only dream for. However, for all that, she had been reduced to a lowly prisoner on her wedding day! The backbone of a person more prideful than her would be worn down to dust after spending two years in such a ruthless ce. Even more so if they were let out, only to discover that their beloved now treated them suspiciously! Outsiders may respect him as a business genius with extraordinary strategies, but the way I see it, hes merely an idiot whose follows things blindly! In the Yuan Family, Yuan Tian was the youngest grandchild. In terms of hierarchy, she naturally ranked lower than her three older male cousins, especially her third brother Yuan Xuan! Since she was the least pampered child in the family, even whenpared to the other girl from the second family named Yuan Ran, she was always afraid of Yuan Xuan and inherently feared him. She was truly taking great risks for her friends sake by criticizing Yuan Xuan the way she was right now! Mu Chenyan lifted the corners of her mouth and barely squeezed out a smile before she said, Dont let your brother hear this! If he discovers that youve been speaking so freely behind his back, then hell assume that Ive corrupted you! Yuan Tian sighed before approaching Mu Chenyan and replying affectionately, Its fortunate that you still have a chance to teach me these things. I heard of your release from prison when Id only just recently returned, and was so emotional that I cried all night. I assumed that we sisters wouldnt have an opportunity to meet ever again! Mu Chenyan felt that her soul produce the widest smile. This girl was already a little over 20 years old but still acted like a child who was dependent on her. Soon, the twp of them began naturally chatting again. Tian Tian, what are you doing now? Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Tians parents were both military surgeons as that her older brother Yuan Lun dealt with business in the field of medical instruments. Since Yuan Tian hade from a family with a strong foundation in the medical field, the third household of the Yuan Family could be considered a prominent family of medical officers! Im working as a medical intern in the military hospital and I specialize in the heart, brain, and blood vessels. My dad said that I can even possibly take charge of a department in another two years! Ive been thinking of bing a military doctor. After all, it would be better to venture outside into the world and face some hardships instead of being trapped at home. Yuan Tian seemed meek on the surface, but she was actually a rebel at heart! Chapter 22 - War Correspondent

Chapter 22: War Correspondent

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When she heard Yuan Tians innermost thoughts, Mu Chenyan expressed her admiration! The Yuan Family was wealthy in properties and assets but Yuan Tian was a person with lofty dreams and aspirations. Country Z was powerful and prosperous. When the neighboring smaller countries were having difficulties living out their days, they woulde and ask for help from Country Z. There were frequent wars as the few ethnic group heads from the bordering western frontier constantly staged armed rebellions in the name of religion. Being one of the children from the wealthy and prominent families in the South China Sea, Yuan Tian did what she could to defend her country,pelling others to think highly of her and her actions. Its unfortunate that I do not have any medical expertise nor do I know anything about the military. Otherwise, I would go to the front lines with you to achieve my own worth! Mu Chenyan spoke from her heart. Her background was in liberal arts so part of her line of work was writing manuscripts and getting the news around. She loved to read since young hence had enrolled to study journalism and liberal arts and randomly picked this profession. Since the Mu Family was wealthy, they did not look to her to support the family regardless of how well she did in her studies. Now it looked like she had been short-sighted with her ambitions. After speaking to Yuan Tian, she felt more inclined to get a stable and worthy job. Regardless of how things were to work out between her and Yuan Xuan in the future, she would not risk starving herself to death. Yuan Tian pondered for a while, before smiling and said, You could be a war correspondent! ** The Blue Sea and Sky Clubhouse was one of the Yuan Familys subsidiary private estates. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai raised their sses of red wine and toasted. If Yuan Xuans attractiveness was said to be the most handsome man in this day and age, then Shao Yibai would be the most charming devil! Their time in the army nurtured their tough nature. After things settled down and returned to normal, they reced their military uniforms with their own luxury clothes. Despite that, their ambiguous righteous and evil persona still showed as part of their charm and beauty! The two exceptionally handsome men sipped their wine. Observers had their hearts and souls stirred seeing the mens charm. Women who nced at them had half of their souls stunned in less than five seconds! These two good-looking men appeared resolutely more handsome when they were drinking together! Shao Yibai noticed Yuan Xuans somber and dark expression despite sipping a ss of 1982 Lafite. He knew that something must be on his mind. Young Mistress has already returned, so why do you still look unhappy? Shao Yibai sneered and teased at Yuan Xuan through his wine ss. She hates me deep down in her heart! Yuan Xuan casually replied. She went to Mu Fengs gravestone today and sat before it for an entire day! I caught her and forced her to return but Im worried that she will be sulking at home now! Yuan Xuan continued before gulping down half a ss of red wine in one go! So you dragged me from my hotel to see you drink your sorrows away? Shao Yibai had on an adding insult to injury smile. Her family has been broken and scattered, and you had her imprisoned for two years so it would be strange if she does not hate you! If I was her, I would want to stab you with a knife when I wake up in the middle of the night! Shao Yibai said frankly. You should have thought of this when you had her locked up! Now that she has returned, its normal for her to despise you! Why dont you tell her the truth? Shao Yibai knew the inside story but he could notprehend Yuan Xuans actions! Hearing Shao Yibais words, Yuan Xuans face was sullen. He swayed the wine ss in his hand, the dark red liquid flickered under the alluring lights. Yuan Xuan deliberated before he quietly said, I dont want her to be like me and live in agony! Once I find Mu Chenwu and take action on the necessary parties, Ill tell her! Seeing Yuan Xuan profoundly worked up, Shao Yibai felt envious! At least Yuan Xuan had gotten worked up for a cause. But for him, he only had endless remorse towards a woman, and he did not even know her name! Shao Yibai was slightly younger than Yuan Xuan but he was a popr target that youngdies of the famous families in the Capital City scrambled to possess. However, he has been living an ascetic life, no thanks to an emotional entanglement that happened three years ago! Yuan Xuan vaguely knew bits and pieces of what happened and was only aware that Shao Yibai previously had a woman. This matter was like a minefield to Shao Yibai! He regarded the woman with pain and remorse. Thus, nobody dared to mention or bring her up in front of him! The litigant himself remained tight-lipped, and his close friends would never inquire about it. After so many years, you should find a woman as well and settle down! Yuan Xuan quietly urged. Shao Yibai cast a sidelong nce at Yuan Xuan and groaned, Hmph! Aunty Yuan, when did you learn this hobby from the aunties who were always forcing marriage on me! Chapter 23 - The Most Peaceful Sleep That Yuan Xuan Had Gotten in These 14 Years

Chapter 23: The Most Peaceful Sleep That Yuan Xuan Had Gotten in These 14 Years

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Xuan returned to Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan was already asleep. Ah Fu prepared Yuan Xuans bath water while quietly reporting the events of the night. Young Mistress has been very obedient. She ate a lot, and finished the food that you provided and burped! Yuan Xuan listened as the kindhearted and naive young girl slowly spoke. When he imagined Mu Chenyan patting her little belly and burping in satisfaction, he could not help tough! After she had finished eating, Young Mistress went to the small tea room to make tea. Fifth Miss came over and chatted with her tillte. Young Mistress initially wanted her to stay for the night but Third Master called and exined that Fifth Miss need to attend a medical consultation at the military hospital early in the morning. He was concerned that her early morning departure would disturb Young Mistress sleep, thus he asked her to return! When Yuan Xuan heard that Yuan Tian came over, he thought of how Mu Chenyans spirits would be lifted. He was worried that the both of them had not chatted enough, so he instructed Ah Fu and said, Prepare more food tomorrow evening and go to Tranquility Mansion to invite Fifth Miss over for dinner! The Yuan Family Mansion spanned across thousands of acres ofnd. The innermost and center mansion that was far and remote from the others was Upper Mansion where Old Mistress Yuan resided. The three smaller mansions in front were Longevity Mansion, Peace Mansion, and Tranquility Mansion respectively. The three siblings of the Yuan Family resided here respectively. Each of the three mansions had their own main gate and guards. They may be small mansions in name but were only small inparison to Upper Mansion. In reality, they were three independent vis with gardens. Longevity Mansion was empty after Yuan Tangbai passed away. Worried that Yuan Xuan would yearn for the owner when he saw the house, Old Mistress had that mansion sealed and got Yuan Xuan to move into Hibiscus Garden once he was an adult. His new abode was close to her and they could even see each other from their separate buildings. Since Yuan Tian had yet to marry, she had always been staying with her parents in Tranquility Mansion. Yuan Tangshuo and his wife were engrossed in the art of healing, influencing their two children to take up medical professions as well. As National Day would be happening the day after tomorrow, the military was given leave. However, Third Uncles household did not celebrate this holiday because the hospital was always on standby for various matters that required their attention. Yuan Xuan thought of taking this opportunity to ask Yuan Tian over to give her a chance to catch her breath! ... After Yuan Xuan showered, he got into bed and saw a little protruding bundle from the nkets. Mu Chenyan had wrapped herself in the nkets and was breathing evenly. Seeing the little bundling figure, Yuan Xuan secretly swore in his heart that this woman was truly too frail and needed to be continually nourished by a great deal! Yuan Xuan embraced her from behind and took in the faint scent of floral soap on her. His initially anxious heart gradually calmed down. Mu Chenyan was sound asleep and felt a warmthing from her back, she groggily mumbled, Brother Xuan, stop it... Yuan Xuan was stunned because he thought he would never hear her call him Brother Xuan again... Even though she was just sleep-talking, it was enough to make Yuan Xuan very emotional! That night, Yuan Xuan had the most peaceful sleep in 14 years. ... Early morning the next day, sunlight cascaded inside past the window screen and nketed the balcony before scattering over the body of the woman who was still fast asleep. Mu Chenyan opened her eyes and suddenly felt her back was warm. She frantically turned over and faced straight into the mans misty and seductive eyes. His Adams apple bobbed up and down before Yuan Xuan used his warm lips to greet her! He initially only wanted to tease her but soon realized that he was not able to control himself once he started kissing! Their kiss burned like a raging fire. When she felt his engorged member rubbing against her underbelly, Mu Chenyan exerted all of her energy to push away the man on top of her whose breathing was gradually getting heavier! Men who had just risen in the morning were the most dangerous! Mu Chenyan calmed her breathing but was still afraid that the man would go crazy and take things further. She stared at him with her big watery eyes and stuttered, You... When did you... When did you returnst night? I held you the entire night while you slept! You slept really well! Was it because you felt particrly warm and secure with me beside you? Yuan Xuans voice was still hoarse from just now and was abnormally husky and deep. Mu Chenyan was reminded of the previous night when they were both together and he interrogated her asking, Little Chenyan, do you like me like this... Chapter 24 - Facial Recognition

Chapter 24: Facial Recognition

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan realized that she could not forget that nights events! If this continued on, it would be very dangerous if a minor incident was blown up into a serious matter! She quickly turned over and sat up before quietly saying, I slept soundly because I was exhausted yesterday, what does that have to do with you? When Yuan Xuan looked at the woman who said one thing but meant another, he recalled how she had called him Brother Xuan in a pampered voicest night. However, there was no anger in his heart. Instead, he strangely desired to dote on her even more. Yuan Xuan got out of bed as well and took his clothes out of the cloakroom and ced them on the bed. He nced at the petite woman, smiled and said, Youve returned for two days but have yet to see my grandmother! Ill bring you to buy some clothes and gifts today. We will be holding a banquet at home during the National Day holiday, so you should use that opportunity to have a good chat with my grandmother! Mu Chenyans heart pounded faintly. For someone like her who had grown up in a prominent illustrious family, attending a banquet was nothing new! However, she was in an awkward status as a well-known socialite who was recently freed from prison. If she relied on her status as the wife of the Yuan Familys grandson to attend an influential banquet like this, she felt slightly ufortable at heart! However, Mu Chenyan did not want to disy her true innermost thoughts before Yuan Xuan. It was like having to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea. In any case, she would have toe out and meet people! Regardless of how she had descended from the ranking of Luo Hai Citys number one socialite two years ago, she would need to crawl back up there again no matter what. Since her release from prison and Yuan Xuan brought her back, she would have to face this fate sooner orter! Alright! She faintly responded with one word! From the clothes that Yuan Xuan had picked out for her, Mu Chenyan pulled out an apricot-colored cardigan and a pair of beige pants before putting them on! When the little slim waist that twisted and turned before Yuan Xuans eyes, the mans enchanted eyes looked at it for a while before feeling pain in his member ... *** After breakfast, Yuan Xuan delegated some tasks for Yan Jun as he would not be going to the office. Several of Yuan Xuans subordinates were capable individuals. Since it was no issue for the Yuan n to takeplete charge, he could wash his hands of this and apany his wife to go shopping without any pressure! Mu Chenyan sat in Yuan Xuans car a cold and condescending look on her face. Along the journey, she merely concerned herself with looking out at the scenery through the window and left Yuan Xuan to admire the back of her head. Although it was like this, Yuan Xuan was still in a pretty good mood. This puzzled Mu Chenyan even more! ... All of the shop assistants and store managers of various renowned brands would nod and bow before Yuan Xuan wherever he went. They even frenziedly treated Mu Chenyan with the same kind of enthusiasm! This was the first time that they saw Yuan Xuan bringing a woman out shopping. The store managers were not stupid. If they had missed the best opportunity to fawn over the CEO, they did not know how many hundred years they would have to wait for the next chance! Miss, you simply couldnt be more beautiful if you wore this outfit! Theres no one in the whole of Luo Hai who could wear this and look as good as you! Miss, you should try this again. Its a limited edition piece and only seven of them in total have been produced worldwide. The international superstar Mei Mei has reserved one piece because of her tall stature so it would be a waste if someone with your physique did not reserve one as well... ... Chenyans mood was now frigid. When she saw people acting overly enthusiastic, she felt particrly awkward. Thus, she chose not to respond! She was merely concerned with trying on clothes because she could not find the mood to shop either. Hence, shepletely left it to Yuan Xuan to decide based on his preferences. He nodded, and the store attendants speedily wrapped everything up without even blinking their eyes. In the end, it seemed like Yuan Xuan never had any intentions of paying. Mu Chenyanst time lived inattentively and after spending two years in prison, she was unaware that paying methods such as cash, credit cards, and mobile payments were all out of date. There was another new payment method known as facial recognition... Mu Chenyan was feeling puzzled when Yuan Xuan stered himself beside her ear and lowered his voice exining, I purchased this chain of shopping mallsst month. If you want to buy clothes next time, you can simply show your face and be recognized no matter which city you visit! Hmph! Facial recognition? I still want my face! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him before walking to another shop on her own! Yuan Xuan did not fly into a rage as he watched the womans figure from the back. He smiled faintly before striding forward with his long legs to chase after her. Chapter 25 - Playing Dumb to Take Advantage of Others Was Learned from Ones Own CEO

Chapter 25: ying Dumb to Take Advantage of Others Was Learned from Ones Own CEO

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The packed clothes were quickly sent to the Yuan Family Mansion in an organized manner. After walking for a while, Mu Chenyan became somewhat weary of the crowd and rowdiness. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly before quietly saying, I think weve probably bought the necessary things already. This ce is kind of noisy so lets go home? Yuan Xuan looked at the list and realized that the formal dresses could be tailored by the Yuan familys specialized designers and delivered to their house, hence it was unnecessary to buy them here! However, the formal attire to be worn during cocktail sessions with the guests would not be custom-made in time. Thus, they needed to be bought in the shopping mall. He would temporarily settle for a few pieces before getting the designers toe by the house to take Chenyans measurements and tailor those outfits. He appeased her feelings and said in a deep voice, Well visit two or three more shops but you wont have to try on too many, is that alright? Mu Chenyan knew that the Yuan Family has lots of etiquettes to adhere to at the banquets. She would not be able to fit in with them if she did not have two or three outfits for a single banquet! Since this was also going to be her first public appearance, she was worried that she would embarrass Yuan Xuan and displease him. She nodded gently. The assistant following Yuan Xuan around today was Kang Yu. He was observant and noticing Mu Chenyans weary expression, he discreetly went ahead in advance to clear out several international luxury brand stores. When Mu Chenyan arrived, she realized that she was the only person in the entire area among the few stores in the initially lively shopping mall. The store attendants weed her enthusiastically upon her arrival. She suspiciously eyed Kang Yu. Youre the one who cleared the stores? Yuan Xuans secretary is clearly the same as him, youre both irrationally arrogant! Mu Chenyan softly spoke at a volume that only both of them could hear. Kang Yu had a calm expression on his face. He pushed his sses higher up on the bridge of his nose and gently smiled at Mu Chenyan as if he was innocent. ying dumb to take advantage of others was something that he had learned from his own CEO! The moment Mu Chenyan entered, a few shop assistants acted as if they had just seen the empress dowager and if they could, they would kneel and bow to her. They constantly circled her and continuously changed her into thetest fashionable formal gowns. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan sat at the VIP lounge enjoying his tea, with a mysterious smile on his bewitching yet arrogant face. Mu Chenyan was unaware that he was appreciating his woman, who was expounding a form of elegance and beauty that even models hired by major brands could not even bring out. ... Prada had never been a brand that Mu Chenyan liked. She had initially thought of not going in before noticing several pitiful shop assistants standing at the doorway in the hopes of her arrival. When they saw that Mu Chenyan was nning to go around, they had on sad and long faces as if they had suffered extremely big inconveniences! Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that if she did not enter, those girls would be as disappointed as the beauties in the imperial harem who were hoping to get randomly chosen to spend the night with the emperor before being informed that he did not require apanion in his chamber that night. She stepped into the shop and browsed around before choosing a in colored long silk dress to try. Suddenly, several women who resembled upper-ssdies appeared at the doorway. Their arms and necks were adorned with shiny red ruby nes and sapphire rings that boldly dazzled and blinded Mu Chenyans eyes. The woman who led them in had extremely fair skin. However, her out of shape physique indicated she had probably consumed too much of the delicacies of a wealthy household. Her hand-embroidered cheongsam seemed to be bursting at the seams. When the shop assistants saw that Mu Chenyan had yet to purchase anything from their store while a group of troublemakers had arrived at this moment, they became worried that the woman whom the CEO had brought would leave with a long face. Nheless, one of the younger shop assistants rushed over and stered a smile on her face and bowed before thedies at the doorway who were about to enter. Madams, Im sorry. Were currently taking count of some stock so well need to close the area for half an hour! The shop assistant did not say that they wanted to clear the store to provide Mu Chenyan with a desirable shopping environment to prevent unnecessary trouble! Hearing this, the fair woman who led the group in became unhappy. She pointed at Mu Chenyan and angrily asked, Why is she trying on clothes inside then? When Mu Chenyan saw that she was being used for no reason although she had initially not nned to buy clothes from here, she whispered to the shop assistant, Im not going to try the clothes anymore so you can let them in! She had not wanted them to clear the store for her either. The customers who gathered in international luxury stores like this were wealthy and respectable people. Moreover, attracting unnecessary trouble was not part of Mu Chenyans personality. She had never imagined that those words would provoke that woman. The fair woman turned around and pped the young shop assistant in the face! You said that you are counting stock and closing the area but I think youre purposely obstructing me! Are you aware that Im one of your tinum members who spend tens of thousands here every season and you dared to chase me out? Chapter 26 - This Place Was Not A Prison but the Same Conventions Were Present

Chapter 26: This ce Was Not A Prison but the Same Conventions Were Present

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The shop assistants little face immediately reddened and swelled up after the p. However, she dared not utter a word and merely held back her tears while apologizing. Madam, Im sorry but we were really just counting stock and closing the area. It will onlyst half an hour and it wont affect you if youe back in a while. I had no intention of chasing you off! Mu Chenyans face remained cold as she furrowed her brows and looked at the bossy woman and the young shop assistant who was shedding tears and holding her face but was too afraid to pipe up. She had onlye in contact with socialites who were refinedly educated! Her mother Yan Mei was born into a rich and influential family. In the Mu Family, they could neither make a sound when they were drinking soup nor could they walk in a manner that portrayed arrogance. Thus, growing up, Mu Chenyans was publicly zealous but was never a show-off. She might be mischievous but never rude and arrogant; she had a cheery disposition and optimistic personality but never to the point she would abuse it and be an annoying troublemaker! If it was not for the two years that she was unfairly imprisoned, she would never see and experience for herself the darkness and struggles of the lowest rung of society, nor would she have be the indifferent and withdrawn person that she was today... In that ruthless ce, they could simply raise their hands and strike others without caring whether they had sufficient reasons to do so! They did not even need a reason to beat somebody up. Resistance would only be met with harsher beatings! This was the reality that she had seen throughout the 700 and over days she spent inside! Every new person who entered would not be considered as a graduate of this special school if they had not suffered several unfair beatings! Mu Chenyan was not an exception... Although the outside world was not a prison, it still revolved around certain conventions. Status and social standing resembledbels that were already stuck on at birth. Anyone could either be an abuser or a victim and this was clear at one nce! Although no one held your arms down to prevent you from retaliating, the disparity between rankings would make you too afraid to hit back! The shop assistant suffered in silence but that was insufficient to appease the fair womans rage! When she saw Mu Chenyans delicate features and slender yet seductive figure,. Even when Chenyan was not talking, she was still able to stir up an intense presence that would even allow the most indifferent gazes to see through the supposed stillness of this matter. The fair woman hated this type of woman who resembled heavens darlings! She had good skin, a charming appearance, cool temperament, and a physique that was exceptionally well-maintained. Her age seemed as though it had reached a standstill before them and made people felt as if time could never defeat a beautiful woman! She unconsciously thought of the foxy women who are always surrounding her own man. They were a group of young women who were simr to her! Her mental state gradually grew more unbnced. This woman could spend in a shop like this but no one knew if she was a rich tycoon herself or if she was spending an unknown mans money! Thinking of this, she grew angrier and the more she could not bear to look at Mu Chenyans delicate face. Looking at the dress that Mu Chenyan tried on, she realized that she would not be able to fit in it even if she were to slice off twenty kilograms of flesh from her body. Fury and jealousy seeped out from the depths of her heart. Since she had no where to disce it, the unfortunate young person at the doorway became the best target to vent her frustrations! Go get the manager! Youre just a little shop assistant but since I think that youre picking a fight for no reason, I dont want to do business here anymore! She pped again, clearly venting her pent-up anger! Thats right, our spendings add up to a turnover of several million a year. If you blindly chase us out, will you be able to bear the losses? The several women whom the fair woman, Li Li, had brought along saw her furious, they spoke up in unison as well. This was the manner of people who merely desired to stir up trouble. Moreover, since the fair womans anger could only subside with great difficulty, they could not be considered as her friends if they did not do as she wished. The young shop assistant was frightened to tears and wept, Ive just finished my internship but havent received my sry. Madams, I didnt recognize you but please forgive me for failing to acknowledge your importance... Mu Chenyan could not bear to watch further. Since she had caused this issue, the young shop assistant would truly be unfortunate if she did not take action! Madams, you should be happy when youre out shopping, so why make things difficult for an employee? Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and gently said, They were really just closing the area earlier but if you would like toe in, you may enter now! The fair woman was initially looking for an excuse but could not do so if Mu Chenyan did not say anything. Seeing that Mu Chenyan has finally spoken, the fair womans imposing manner got stronger before she let out a torrent of verbal abuse. Where did this slutty foxe out from? I dont know which mans money youre shamefully spending but if youre going to strut around here, be careful because the first wife is going to catch you on the street one day and rip off all your clothes! Chapter 27 - This Man Could Not Be Offended

Chapter 27: This Man Could Not Be Offended

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Why would you need to buy such beautiful clothes? I think that itd be fine for you to only buy sleepwear, seeing that you rely on crawling into mens beds to earn money! Mu Chenyan had never imagined that she would actually be chided as a mistress who slept around after she had only said a few words! Whose bed had she crawled into? It only happened once, and Yuan Xuan had forcefully dragged her there! Seeing the fair womans face had swelled up and be purplish-red from anger and envy, she sneered with a mocking look on her face. Madam, youre presumably born of nobility, so arent you afraid of losing your social status when you speak in such a crude manner? You said that I crawl into mens beds and act as if youve witnessed it! On the contrary, could it be that your husband is the one whos frequently straddled by others? The untouchable ce of grief in the depths of the fair womans heart was immediately stirred up by Mu Chenyan! Indeed, she came out looking resplendent and graceful when she carried the title of Mrs Chen, proudly sashaying around her circle of socialite sisters. However, when she returned home at night, she was the only one who knew how lonely the nights were and how it was to live through them! The men outside who had eaten and drunk their fill would rather blind themselves when they looked at her body of pale flesh, so why would they even want to briefly touch her? As for the women who had crawled into her husbands bed, she had hit them on numerous asions but that did not stop the man from continuing to find them! All of the hatred at the bottom of her heart erupted before she lost all reasoning and judgment and only cared to vent her personal anger! Wow, you actually dared to scold me, you vixen? Ill rip and shred your face and well see whether youll still be brave enough to show off! The fair womans entire body shook in anger. She charged over, raised her hand and pped Mu Chenyans face! The fiery pain on the face was real. Mu Chenyan remained motionless while she indifferently considered the fair womans flustered and exasperated state! Mu Chenyan was the person who was hit but the fair woman looked as if she was in a worse state. She was at a lost seeing Mu Chenyans cold gaze that just stared at her. She had initially assumed that Mu Chenyan would either pounce on her or make a big fuss. She had never imagined that Mu Chenyan would just give her the cold shoulder. There was even a scornful sneer on the corners of her mouth! This woman was so calm and coldly elegant, unlike the other mistresses that she had previously hit. Nheless, how did this woman possess this kind of aura despite noting from a rich and influential family? The fair woman became somewhat frightened. Two or three years before her husband had returned to Luo Hai, she had been following her grandfather to run the business outside previously. She knew of the several big yers in Luo Hai but could not ce the origins of the young woman before her. She would not be able to take responsibility for this in the event that she had struck one of the respectable individuals. When her socialite sisters saw that the fair woman had taken the first step while her opponent had yet to hit back, they decided that she should quickly withdraw while she still had the upper hand. Li Li, I think thats enough. Dont lower yourself to the level of a mere girl who has yet to learn proper limits! We wont visit this store anymore because the rest are the same anyway! When Li Li heard this, she hurriedly nodded, and purposely amplified her imposing manner before she yelled, Ill forgive you this once! If I see you acting so arrogantly again next time, Ill really rip and shred your face! After she had spoken, she turned to leave with the other women. Suddenly, an extremely grim voice with obvious suppressed anger roared, Do you think you can leave easily as you please after pping my woman? Li Li, the socialite sisters that she had brought with her, and even Mu Chenyan were clearly shocked by the mans tone that contained apparent traces of suppressed fury. The noble and arrogant man elegantly leaned one of his shoulders against the doorway of the VIP lounge, both of his hands were in the pockets of his pants. His pitch-ck, slightly curled hair hung down before his forehand while his dark, wild, and ruthless gaze announced to everyone around him that he could not be offended! When Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuan walking towards her, she turned her head and lowered her gaze. Her stance implied that she did not need his concern! Yuan Xuans heart was extremely vexed! It was not solely because that piece of white flesh had struck his woman! It was more because of this woman named Mu Chenyans indifferent attitude! Dont you know how to retaliate when someone else hits you? The mans voice was gentle and somewhat dreamy when he reached his hand out and stroked Chenyans face that was red and swollen from the p. Chapter 28 - If a Dog Bit Me, Would You Want Me to Bite It in Return?

Chapter 28: If a Dog Bit Me, Would You Want Me to Bite It in Return?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan did not avoid him but merely tilted her body and pursed her lips. She faintly smiled and said, If a dog bit me, would you want me to bite it in return? When he heard her cheeky reply, Yuan Xuan snorted and said, Little siren, no wonder you continue to tter others even when they hit you for no reason! You make it impossible for ugly women to survive! Among these two people, one of them was extraordinarily handsome while the other was charmingly refined, making them a perfect match for each other. Moreover, their interactions were intimate enough to make the rest feel shy! When Li Li heard that she was being secretly cursed and saw that the little slut was protected by an attractive, well-built man, her jealous heart immediately made her head spin again in anger. Furious to the point that her entire body trembled, she pointed at Mu Chenyan and cursed, Youre really a vixen. Now that youve found a man to support you, are you just going to behave as you wish? However, it was excusable for Li Li to not recognize Yuan Xuan! Firstly, Yuan Xuan was an extremely private person in the outside world and seemed as though he did not appear in the public eye at all. His grand wedding that happened two years ago was a spectacr event that was only reported by several designated media outlets that were at the scene. Moreover, they were not permitted to photograph the respected individuals there as they pleased. If he had not recently purchased this mall and had a meeting upstairs earlier before the new director took his photo and circted it to the malls personnel as part of their training routine, most of the staff would not even recognize Yuan Xuan! Another point was that Li Li had recently followed her husband Chen Gang back to Luo Hai but Chen Gang rarely brought her along to attend the actual aristocratic banquets because he disliked how she crude she was. Thus, how would she have gotten the chance to meet Luo Hais major big yer? However, some of the women at Li Lis side were unlike the others. When they saw that Yuan Xuan had an imposing aura, the women from various backgrounds were frightened that they warned Li Li and said, Thats enough. The other person didnt even retaliate so why do you have to fight so shamefully? Li Li reluctantly calmed down. When she heard her sisters warnings, she anxiously put on a fiercer facade. She took the chance to remove herself from the situation again and said, Im not going to lower myself to the level of a vixen like you... Kang Yu entered the store at this moment. He had to answer a call from Yan Jun and only left for less than ten minutes. He had never imagined that the CEOs wife would be pped across the face in such a short period of time... Whats going on? Kang Yu saw the red, swollen side of Mu Chenyans face and noticed Yuan Xuans murderous re on him. Frightened, Kang Yu swallowed his saliva and softly asked, Third Young Master, whats the matter? Yuan Xuans expression was dark, his eyes gleamed coldly. He gestured his chin to the few women and said, Ask them! Kang Yu cast his gentle nature aside. He turned around to look at the group of women at the doorway with a an eerily cold gaze that made them trembled! Were you the ones who hit her? Kang Yus attitude made these women realized that the situation was not as simple as they thought. They had really got into trouble now! The few women were not idiots. Since they were not the ones who had pped her, they would not admit it now! They retreated one after another and shoved Li Li forward before saying, It wasnt us, it was her! Her fake sisters had hung Li Li out to dry. However, since cowering was not an option for her at this moment, she stood up and admitted, It was me! Whats the matter? When Kang Yu saw Li Li, he said lightly, Mrs Chen? Li Li felt that he looked very familiar when she heard him addressing her. Kang Yus mouth twitched. He felt helpless against this womans stupidity. Earlier, The Yuan Family group invited bidders for a mining project and Mrs Chens husband was unable to win the main bid. He came looking for him in the hopes to obtain some mineral dust to process as a business. Yuan Xuan was away on a business trip that time but since insignificant scraps like the remaining mineral dust could be given to anyone, he was not concerned with it. Chen Gang had brazenly pestered Kang Yu while Mrs Chen had even followed him to the Yuan Group numerous times. Thus, Kang Yu remembered them! When Li Li recognized Kang Yu as well, she was scared out of her wits! If Kang Yu was the right-hand-man of the Yuan Familys Third Young Master, would that mean the man whom he was speaking to with respect was Third Young Master Yuan? Chapter 29 - Digging Ones Own Grave

Chapter 29: Digging Ones Own Grave

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Yuan Familys most minute actions would greatly affect Jiang Nan. With the military honors and achievements that their ancestors had left behind and their emerging business empire, offending the Yuan Family was equivalent to digging ones own grave! She had forgotten to pray before she left her house today, how did she encounter such a godly individual? Her damned hand had even hit his woman... Li Li trembled as she approached Kang Yu. She forced and squeezed a smile on her fleshy face, making her look like a flower. Secretary Kang, it was a misunderstanding, it was really a misunderstanding. I didnt know that they were your friends! Kang Yu did not even bat an eyelid while his gaze swept over in Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyans direction! Mu Chenyan was obviously not concerned. She seemed distracted as if this was irrelevant to her! Yuan Xuan suppressed his anger inside his heart because he did not want to waste his thoughts on a person like this. He looked at Li Li before with an extremely cold and disgusted expression. Li Li understood that her only way out was to beg that woman. She groveled and came before Mu Chenyan before putting on a long face and pitifully begged, Miss, Im truly wretched. I didnt know who you were. I offended you numerous times earlier but a person of great morals such as yourself should forgive the misdeeds of a lowly person like me. Please ask Secretary Kang to treat me with mercy and not lose his temper! Since she was too afraid to approach Yuan Xuan, she could only summon up the courage to grovel at Mu Chenyans feet now. Mu Chenyan was extremely calm. She neither made her position known nor did she disyed any delight in taking revenge. She only nced at Yuan Xuan and quietly said, Im hungry, lets go eat something! When Yuan Xuan saw her acting in this manner, he got absentminded for a moment. Now that she had left prison after spending two years there, this womans nature had be so indifferent. He was unsure whether she could return to her previous cheery and lively disposition... Kang Yu, Ill leave this to you! Yuan Xuan turned around and instructed Kang Yu! Kang Yu thoroughly understood his words. He knew Yuan Xuans temper all too well. Raising her hand to strike her was already out of the question because he would already give her a hard time even if she had merely verbally threatened Miss Chenyan. Mrs Chen, you and your family just returned from Xi Zhou, right? Kang Yu was actually a refined rascal. Despite speaking in a threatening manner, he still looked very kind! Xi Zhousnd is barren and its produce is scarce but its the most suitable ce to lose weight. I think that it would be best for Mr and Mrs Chen to retire there so that you wouldnt have to return to Luo Hai! When Li Li heard this, she knew that he wanted to chase them back to Xi Zhou. Her husband begged almost everybody he knew to obtain a permit from Luo Hais Ministry of Land and Resources. He shifted his own mineral developmentpany to Luo Hai to leave that destitute Xi Zhou! She had never imagined that her own despicable actions and a single p were enough to send her whole family back. She immediately copsed on the ground in a numbed state before she began to roll around and cried. Mu Chenyan changed out of the dress and just exited the fitting room. Seeing Li Lis shameful state, she furrowed her eyebrows. She passed the dress to the still-terrified young shop assistant at the doorway and said softly, Were about the same size so just take this dress and consider that Ive given it to you! The young shop assistant was dumbfounded. Her hands trembled as she took the dress and nced at her manager. Her manager nodded discreetly. The young shop assistant turned back to look at Mu Chenyan for a while before bursting into tears... * After leaving Prada, Yuan Xuan brought her to eat seafood hot pot. Mu Chenyan loved eating seafood. Since she was particrly hungry after experiencing such a strenuous situation, she took the opportunity to eat a lot. Yuan Xuan leaned against the chair with his arms crossed while he adoringly watched her shoving te after te of food into the pot. A pile of tes soon stacked up tall before him in a short while. If this goes on, the dresses and new clothes that she bought today would probably need to change and he would need to purchase a new batch. The swollen half of her face bulged as she chewed her food, making Mu Chenyan looked as cute as a little groundhog... Chapter 30 - The Love of the Past Was Now Equivalent to Hatred

Chapter 30: The Love of the Past Was Now Equivalent to Hatred

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Does it still hurt? Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Yuan Xuan asked her. Briefly stunned, Mu Chenyan lowered her almond-shaped eyes. She pondered for a long time without a sound before realizing that he was asking about her face. She stroked her cheek. It was searing with pain earlier but she could not really feel the pain now because she had exerted herself while chewing. Mu Chenyan lowered her head and silently smiled. Thinking that she was still in pain, Yuan Xuan could not help but lean forward to take a closer look. Mu Chenyan could smell the faint peppermint smell from the man as he got closer to her. Her nostrils were instantly filled with his scent that made her entire body reacted in an unnatural manner! She suddenly raised her head and directly met the affectionate gaze in the mans profound eyes, indicating that he was truly caring for her. Mu Chenyan retreated. She shook her head once she was within a safe distance from him. In a calm manner, she softly asked, Why would a minor issue like this matter? When I was inside, which of the beatings that I suffered werent worse than this? The hand that Yuan Xuan had extended outward paused stiffly in mid-air. He gritted his teeth and spatted out the words one-by-one asking, Who hit you? When she saw Yuan Xuans look of disbelief, Mu Chenyan suddenly felt likeughing. However, her forbearing nature caused her to forcibly suppress that smile. Nheless, traces of a sneer faintly appeared at the corners of her mouth! Yuan Xuan lowered his eyes, which were as dark as ancient ponds. They surged like great waves as Mu Chenyans brief words agitated him! Before waiting for Mu Chenyans reply, he asked again, You said that someone hit you in prison? Mu Chenyan obviously did not want to answer this question. Her coldly elegant little face was now red because of her emotions that sharply rose and fell. Seeing that she was pretending to be calm on the surface, Yuan Xuans heart twisted into a knot. He felt helpless with Mu Chenyans indifference and could only return to his seat slowly. This was the first time his heart was shrouded with panicked emotions! Perhaps things were currently developing in a direction that even he could not anticipate! Mu Chenyan suddenly stood up. When she looked down at Yuan Xuan, her big dark eyes seemed like billowing waves because the tears that she held back were about to overflow! She sniffed before saying lightly, Dont tell me that you dont know about those filthy things! All this while, I thought that I had to quietly suffer as retribution for killing your childhood sweetheart. Thus, I never resisted it. You should be very satisfied with the result, right? After Mu Chenyan had finished speaking, she took long strides and left her seat to avoid the embarrassment that would arise from Yuan Xuans exnation. She left the restaurant and sat in the back seat of the car. Yuan Xuans face was gloomy as he entered the car as well. Both of his hands gently stroked the steering wheel as he nced at the woman through the rear view mirror. She seemed calm on the surface but her heart was actually seething... As the car went through the busy traffic, Yuan Xuan could clearly tell that she was quietly weeping because her shoulders trembled trying to suppress her sobs... ... Before they arrived at the Yuan Family Mansion, Mu Chenyan had already fallen asleep leaning against the seat. Reluctant to wake her up, Yuan Xuan reached his arms out and held her against his chest. She was one hundred and seventy centimeters tall but weighed less than a hundred pounds. How did she face the hardships that happened during those two years? Yuan Xuan had initially sent her in there because he did not want to drag her into the Yuan Familys drama. Moreover, he did not want her to be coteral damage when the Mu Family copsed. Thus, he had made internal arrangements and assumed that Mu Chenyan would receive special care. If she had not personally said it today, it would be impossible for Yuan Xuan to believe that she was actually tortured in prison despite his protection! How could he even imagine that Luo Hais number one socialite who was previously so proud and pampered, managed to endure more than 700 torturous days? How much despair and pain had she felt when he had only visited her once during the two years she spent there? He was afraid that the love she had for him in the past was now equivalent to hatred! ... Yuan Xuan gently ced the woman on the bed. Ah Fu had already hung up the clothes that were delivered by the mall inside the wardrobe. Ah Fu was excited when she saw the gorgeous clothes. When she saw that the Young Master had returned and was carrying the Young Mistress in his arms, a sweet smile beamed across the girls face. Third Young Master and Young Mistress seemed to enjoy themselves. You told me to call Fifth Miss over for a meal but neither of you was here. Fifth Miss left after she had eaten and even helped to tidy up the clothes that were delivered by the mall. She said that the Young Mistress previously looked beautiful no matter what she wore. She possesses both talents and good looks and with the beautiful clothes, perhaps Young Mistress will regain the position of the number one socialite when she steps foot outside... Chapter 31 - Youre A Selfish Guy, You Dont Deserve Chenyans Love

Chapter 31: Youre A Selfish Guy, You Dont Deserve Chenyans Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan looked at the woman who was sound asleep in bed. Her slender body was graceful and her snow-white like fair skin almost seemed transparent. While she was sleeping soundly, all the burdens and worries on her extremely exquisite little face were gone. It made her looked so peaceful! She was originally the top socialite! Nheless, after meeting him, he ruined everything that she had and made her an angel with broken wings. Now, he wanted to make her the top socialite again? The feeling of being able the grasp the fate of others did not always feel that good! Yuan Xuan was feeling heavy hearted and this made him feel worse than seeing Shu Qingers tragic death! Yan Jun, find out whos the one who gave them consent to torture Mu Chenyan during her two years in prison. Do not let any of them go! Yuan Xuan picked up his phone. His icy tone could not hide the anger in his voice. Yan Jun on the other side of the phone realized the severity of this matter! Third Young Master, youve made an arrangement so that Miss Chenyan will not even be sent to do heavybors. How could there be people torturing her? Is anybody from Attorney Wus side aware of this? Yan Jun was shocked. It was the first time that this had happened in Luo Hai City Yuan Xuans arrangement had failed? Even the prisoners were under his control unless someone deliberately disobeyed him! This was simply out of the world! Ill get into it right away! Yan Jun epted his order. Yuan Xuan hung up the phone and thought for a moment. Then, he dialed Wu Zes number. Yuan Third Young Master, Mu Chenyan has already returned safe and sound. Its not a good thing if youre calling me! Wu Zes voice was polite and elegant. Even though he made a living out of arguing, it did not change the fact that he had a gifted good voice! This elegant and beautiful voice probably helped him a lot in the courts. Not to mention, his handsome looks, strong family background, and solid professional aplishments... The young Attorney Wu was already one of the four famouswyers in the judicial industry. This arrogantwyer who charged rtively expensive hours was on Mu Chenyans case for two years. Wu Ze, did Chenyan tell you that she was abused in prison? Each time Yuan Xuan said that word, his heart would clench making him feel extremely ufortable! Although he was in a wealthy family, he knew how evil and cruel humanity could be. Mu Chenyan casually talked about how she was tortured, but he could guess how inhumane it was with the way they tortured her. He even med her for being so cold after two years. How could she have survived those suffering days if she was not this dejected? What did you say? Mu Chenyan... was abused? Green veins started appearing on Wu Zes handsome face. He was holding a ss of wine with his slender long fingers. Due to the shocking words, he threw the ss of wine onto the floor and it looked like a pool of fresh blood... Hearing Wu Zes surprised tone, Yuan Xuan figured that he most probably also heard it for the first time. Yes. Mu Chenyan personally told me about it today. She thought that I was behind it... Yuan Xuan tried his best to maintain a calm tone, just like how cold and heartless he was in the past. Nevertheless, his heart was trembling because Mu Chenyan was hiding an endless amount of hate behind her seemingly cold expression! If it was not for him, why would Mu Chenyan be sent to such a terrifying ce? Yuan Xuan, Ive warned you since the beginning. Your selfishness will only hurt Chenyan deeply. If you dont love her, someone else will... Wu Zes was feeling extraordinarily emotional and Yuan Xuan was stunned when he heard him blurting out those words! The reserved man remained silent for a moment, Wu Ze, do you like Mu Chenyan? Yuan Xuan was a man with an obsession for loyalty, so he was very sensitive! Wu Ze was speechless, ... Im telling you, shes my woman and youre my brother. I asked you to take care of her for me, not giving her to you. Even if it was a woman that I dont want anymore, no one else can touch her! Yuan Xuans tone was domineering as usual and there was even a dark surge of murderous intent in it. There was no difference even to his good friend! Wu Ze could hear the unfriendly tone in Yuan Xuans voice and heughed sarcastically, You, are a truly selfish guy! Chapter 32 - There Is Hate Because There is Love

Chapter 32: There Is Hate Because There is Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xuan got even more heavy-hearted because of his conversation with Wu Ze! His noble bloodline and good upbringing prevented him fromshing out. However, he needed an outlet to release the stuffiness in his heart! He stood up and took two bottles of aged Mo from the private wine cer at the back of the building. ... Yuan Xuan first met Wu Ze when they were studying abroad together. They were both the children of the noble families in Luo Hai City, and both of them abandoned the profession that was passed down by their ancestors and chose to fight alone in their chosen paths. They were both equally rebellious and capable. Thus, they got along quickly and became bosom friends! However, there was also an incident which helped form their friendship! The Yuan Family was too well-known. During the early days, while building the familys achievements, they offended quite a number of people. The dark forces abroad knew that the Yuan Family Mansions only son, Yuan Xuan was studying abroad. Moreover, this 20 years old young man might be the Yuan Familys sessor. How could they give up on such a good opportunity? There was once when Yuan Xuan was being chased after by an enemy. Wu Ze put his life at risk to help his friend and he was shot twice! This young man was really lucky. Both of the bullets seemed to have grown a pair of eyes and none of them hit his vital parts. Despite that, Wu Ze still stayed in the hospital for three months, and his chest and abdomen were left with two, unpleasant-looking bullet hole scars. At that time, Wu Ze even joked, Since my seductive muscr body is ruined, you must take responsibility for me! Yuan Xuan punched his chest and said, Ill help you get any woman you like! Che~ Who needs help with this kind of thing? I, the Young Master of the Wu Family could do it easily with just my face! Ever since then, Wu Ze was part of Yuan Xuans life circle. In Yuan Xuans words, he owed Wu Ze his life! ... Yuan Xuan thought about Wu Zes attitude towards Mu Chenyan and his heart went cold. He never thought that one day, his best friend would fall in love with his woman... Although Wu Ze did not directly admit it, his attitude exined everything! Wu Ze was not an emotional person, but hebeled him as a selfish guy because of a woman! *** Mu Chenyan woke up in the middle of the night and felt extremely thirsty. She did not see Yuan Xuan in the room. Since Ah Fu had already gone to bed, she got up and went to the kitchen on the first floor to pour herself a cup of water. It felt veryfortable stepping on the wooden stairs barefoot! Mu Chenyan did not notice that the man on the sofa in the first floors living room. He was staring at her with his piercing and distant gaze! Ah! You... Why isnt there any sound... when you walk? After drinking a cup of water beside the water dispenser, Mu Chenyan turned around and bumped into a firm chest. She felt a surge of cool hormonal aura spreading towards her aggressively and she was at a loss on what to do. Yuan Xuan pulled her into his arms and hugged her. She was shivering from the sudden scare and her slender body became even tenser due to the tension. Both of them leaned against each other and they could feel one anothers warmth. Mu Chenyan felt a hot sensation all over her body and she instinctively wanted to resist! Yuan Xuans breath was somewhat unstable and he was starring at Mu Chenyan with his deep dark eyes. He felt her resisting and he tightened his hug around her. He whispered into her ears, Chenyan... Chenyan... Mu Chenyan detected the smell of red wine! It seemed like he drank quite a bit. She nced at the coffee table and sofa, there were wine bottles and sses scattered all over it... You drank too much, Ill help you back to the room! Mu Chenyan tried to slip her hand out to support Yuan Xuan, but he did not allow her to escape! His breath became heavy. The sweet aroma of red wine in his breath was like waves, crashing non-stop onto Mu Chenyan! Ever since you got back, the number of words that we spoke could not evenpare to the past hour... Yuan Xuans arms were as firm as iron. He was mumbling, but it sounded more like he wasining about how Mu Chenyan was so cold and heartless today! In the past, I was the one who talked more and youve always been like this! Its just that I dont feel like talking as much now, which is why you feel weird... Mu Chenyans voice was not loud. It was soft and gentle, but it did not sound like she was pouting. Instead, it sounded more like a pettyint! Chapter 33 - Her Body Answered His Question Perfectly and Honestly

Chapter 33: Her Body Answered His Question Perfectly and Honestly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She had a cold look on her face whilst her pride prevented anyone from getting near her. She wore an expression that seemed to say that she had severed all emotional ties. This hurt Yuan Xuan deeply. He thought that she would still be the same Mu Chenyan from before after her release. He did not think that she would be abused in prison and became so cold after her ordeal. Moreover, Wu Ze had been the one who stayed by her side during the two most difficult years of her life... You hate me, right? I was the one who made you suffer... Yuan Xuan was indeed drunk as he began to question her in a low voice. At the moment, this man was no longer his usual arrogant and cold self. His indifferent attitude had disappeared and he was now acting like a normal man! Mu Chenyan was stunned for a moment. She did not understand whether he wasining about others or criticizing himself. After a long pause, Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Things arent so bad that I hate you... After all, to love is to suffer. Youve always thought that I was the one behind Shu Qingers death. Well, since youre the one who ruined the Mu Family, why dont we just call it even? Even? You mean you want to sever all ties? Yuan Xuan stared at Mu Chenyans calm and emotionless face. He was hoping to see her change her expression to one which he oh, so desired. However, Mu Chenyans had a cold look on her face and she responded to him without any emotion. At this point, there is nothing between the two of us. Youre really pushing it if youre asking me to love you! The meaning behind Mu Chenyans words was very clear. Yuan Xuan was the one who ruined her family, there was no way she could be obsessed with him the way she used to be. No! Both of Yuan Xuans eyes were bright red and shed with excitement. He hugged the woman in his arms as his warm, wine-tinged breaths blew against the side of her face. You cant not love me... His breaths were getting heavier and his embrace was suffocating. It felt as though he wanted to pull the woman in his arms into his heart! Mu Chenyan was terrified of Yuan Xuans behavior. Unfortunately, it was already toote by the time she detected the dangerous aura. She freed herself from Yuan Xuans grasp, but was recaptured before she could even take a step. The drunken man was shockingly strong! Yuan Xuan was like a beast who had lost control. He carried Mu Chenyan and impatiently rushed toward the room that was closest to them, the small tea room on the first floor. Yuan Xuan, are you crazy? Mu Chenyan asked in a trembling voice! The small tea room had tatami flooring and was very spacious inside. Yuan Xuan ced Mu Chenyan onto the soft rattan mat and began to hurriedly take off her clothes. Yuan Xuan, what are you going to do? Rape me? Mu Chenyan was angry and worried as her tiny little face was drained of color. She tried to resist his advances by pushing him away with both her hands and her feet. Yuan Xuan paused and slowly said in a deep voice, Little Chenyan, the room next to us is Ah Fus bedroom... I dont want to be rough. I just want to know, do you still love me? Stop telling lies and answer me with your body... Mu Chenyan was stunned and she dared not make a sound. The onlyint she made was with the look in her eyes. The mans breath was getting even more erratic as he grew furious due to the fact that he could not unbutton her clothes. Therefore, he suddenly ripped open her cotton clothes with brute-force! Her snow-white skin almost seemed transparent under the moonlight. It looked plump and passionate with a hint of pink... Yuan Xuans eyes were getting blurry as he looked at the frightened woman whose expression was as though she had fallen into an abyss. He could no longer control himself and he lowered his head to kiss her. His hot and wet kisses gradually moved downward. He was acting in a predatory manner and had a pained expression as he said with an unusually hoarse voice, Little Chenyan, you cant not love me, do you know that? Tears quietly rolled down the corners of Mu Chenyans eyes. Her entire body was trembling and she bit her lips so that she would not make a sound. Nheless, the beast inside her heart was howling... Yuan Xuan could not suppress his desires toward her! ... The womans soft and tender voice was disjointed... She was slowly falling for his wineced kisses! Her body felt as though it was shattering from the exprerience... You still love me, right? He held her trembling body tightly. This was thest question Yuan Xuan asked before Mu Chenyan lost conciousness. Her body answered his question perfectly, but her heart was bleeding away. Chapter 34 - I Saw The Satisfied Look On Your Face

Chapter 34: I Saw The Satisfied Look On Your Face

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan first met him when she was 10 and immediately knew that he was the one! As a Virgo, she was very stubborn, which was why nothing had changed after so many years. Her love toward him got only deeper as the days went by. Simrly, the hurt that she suffered today felt even more painful as time passed... Previously, she was never one to be afraid of love and hatred. Moreover, everyone in Luo Hai City knew that the Mu Familys Young Mistress was in love with the Yuan Familys Third Young Master. Despite this, Mu Chenyan had never thought that she would one day use her body to respond to his love! Since she did not want to admit that she loved him, Yuan Xuan used the most primitive of methods to prove it... And now, she wasying under his body. Even though her heart was clearly against it, her body pandered to his every wish. Little Chenyan, you still love me... I saw the satisfied look on your face... It was all was over! Mu Chenyan turned her head and left him with a side profile of her firmly biting her lips. In truth, she was trying to hide due to her embarrassment. Yuan Xuan sneered coyly at her. Then, he suddenly lowered his head and bit her shoulder! Hiss... Chenyan bit her tongue due to the pain and recalled that the room beside the small tea room was Ah Fus bedroom. Because of this, she was frightened and dared not make a sound. This pervert! Was he the reincarnation of a dog? Mu Chenyan cursed him internally. The red flush on her tiny face became even more obvious. At this moment, the woman who was being bitten frowned and began biting her own lips. The look of futile resistance on her face only served to trigger Yuan Xuans desire to dominate her. Perhaps it was in every mans nature to be ruthless. Perhaps, this surpressed trait of theirs would be unleashed whilst under the influence of alcohol. He wanted to continue to ravage her once more. His eyes were blurry, but when he caressed the bite mark on her shoulder, he found out that there were two deep circr-shaped scars under her armpit! She had been rtively spoiled ever since young and therefore, her body was wless. Even if she birthmarks, her background as a Young Mistress of a noble family would allow her to find ways to remove it with the help of advanced modern technology. How could there be a scar like this on her body? He touched the two scars with his hands and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.. Instantly, all feelings of romance disappeared! Yuan Xuans face darkened as he caressed the two circr-shaped scars with his hand. At this point, Mu Chenyan exined in a low voice, Theres no need to be surprised, those are cigarette burn marks. Fortunately, they are not in obvious positions. Otherwise, it wont look good when I wear a nightgown. After being stunned for quite some time, Yuan Xuan snapped back to his senses and immediately began racing through his thoughts in an attempt to figure out the identity of the individual who had burned her. He knew that she had been beaten, but now he was discovering that someone had left marks on her wless body that could not be erased. These people had dug their own grave! I will make sure that they suffer before ending their life! Mu Chenyan had never seen Yuan Xuan lose his temper so badly before! He was born a noble, and since he grew up under the guidance of the Old Mistress Yuan, his personality had been shaped differently than your average Joe. Other than treating others coldly, he also behaved a little overbearingly and ruthlessly. However, he was never one to defy thew or abuse his authority. Thus, Mu Chenyan was shocked when he imed that he would make her perpetrators suffer before ending their lives. Even if you took revenge for me and hurt them, the scars on my body will not disappear! In truth, she wanted to bring up the fact that the scar in her heart would not disappear. However, she swallowed those words at thest second. I want to take a shower... Mu Chenyan was quickly attempted to escape from this awkward scene. When she got up, both of her legs started trembling because of how worn out she was after having sex. After seeing her struggle to her feet, Yuan Xuan got up and supported her. Then, he carried her and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor. ... Yuan Xuan washed Mu Chenyans body attentively and seemed to be on the lookout for any other hidden scars on her body. He was too excited the first time they did it and did not notice the burn scars, even though they went at it a few times on that night. Now that he discovered them, he could not let it go. He caressed it over and over again while imagining the scene during the incident... After all, burns were well known to be the most painful wounds to receive! Furthermore, these two scars did not seem like they were made with just a single burn. Chapter 35

Chapter 35: The Saying A Broken Mirror Pieced Together Cannot Be Used To Describe The Rtionship Between The Two Of Them

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Did it hurt? Yuan Xuan asked with a low voice. Even though his voice became gentler, his sentence was as brief as usual. It didnt hurt. I didnt even make a sound... Mu Chenyan looked as if she was used to the pain. The indifferent tone in her voice made her sound very miserable. Although it genuinely did hurt, she downyed the sensation when she spoke to him. You were previously so afraid of pain. I remember when you once cut yourself a little while peeling an apple, you immediately started to tear up and make a fuss. Now youre telling me that such a deep burn wound did not hurt... Yuan Xuan caressed the scars while trembling slightly. He remembered Mu Chenyans spoiled personality from the past. Although Mu Feng never liked Mu Chenyan, her mother, Yan Mei raised her to be a mighty fine young noblewoman. How did someone as spoiled as she get through such gloomy days? The reason why I behaved like a spoiled child in the past is because I wanted to be protected and loved. Besides, I knew that I could always get what I want just by pouting a little. Behaving in a delicate manner in prison would only cause me to get a heavier beating! Why could I continue to act that way? Thus, after a long time, I found that these injuries didnt really hurt me anymore. Yuan Xuan stared at Mu Chenyans face nkly. Her tone was overly calm and there was not even a hint of resentment in it. Yuan Xuan seemed to understand the reason why she was so cold and quiet after her return. He was the one who had killed the old Mu Chenyan! Chenyan, no one will ever hurt you again... Yuan Xuan pulled her head closer to him and leaned it against his chest. She could smell the faint smell of his sweat mixed with the sweet aroma of red wine. Mu Chenyan felt her heart jump slightly when she noticed the sound of his strong heartbeat beating away in his chest. She could not figure out what Yuan Xuan was trying to do. He was partly to me for all the pain that she had suffered. However, he looked so aggrieved now. Could he finally be repenting? Someone as arrogant and lonely as Yuan Xuan should not be apologizing or repenting! In her opinion, Yuan Xuan was like a dark and deep fathomless sea, whereas she herself was like a small boat floating on this huge sea. Even if the boat were to overturn one day, its not like she would expect the sea to suddenly apologize to her. Whatever, she was probably overthinking things. Mu Chenyan forced a smile and blurted, I want to sleep. Im very tired tonight. Yuan Xuan remained silent after seeing the way she ignored his advances. He then carried her out of the water, dried her body with a soft towel and then used a hair dryer to dry her hair. Your long hair from before suits you better. Keep your hair long so that when we have another wedding, it will look nice if you style it up. Yuan Xuan stroked her fine, ck, short hair and stated in amanding tone. Mu Chenyan shivered slightly. Another wedding? The scene from two years ago shed through her mind once again. Her wedding was interrupted and Yuan Xuan watched her get taken away by the police without batting an eyelid... Now he was telling her that he wanted to have another wedding... Could it be that he wanted to make up for the past? The saying a broken mirror pieced together (TN: a Chinese idiom which metaphorically means the reunion of husband and wife after a forced separation) cannot be used to describe the rtionship between the two of them! Certain things had already happened that could not be changed. Mu Chenyan could not imagine how weird things would be if they actually ended up getting together again. Not to mention, she could not rest until she found the culprit! The Mu Family was ruined, her father had passed and her mother was hurt. Moreover, she had rotted away in prison for two long years. These were all undeniable facts. However, both she and Yuan Xuan were trying to turn a blind eye to them! She had been madly in love with him for the past ten years, whereby her sole purpose in life was to marry him. However, things were different now. Some events had transpired that even time would not bury. She knew very well that if she remained a suspect, then even if she remarried Yuan Xuan, she would not be loved! Chapter 36 - Distant Niece

Chapter 36: Distant Niece

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan held Mu Chenyan in his embrace; not a word was said throughout the night. The two clearly shared the most intimate contact, yet there always seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two. ... The next day, after Mu Chenyan awoke and had finished her breakfast, she saw that Yuan Xuan had not yet left for work, so she made a request, I want to go to the hospital to visit my mom. Yuan Xuan hesitated a little before going to the garage to pick out a Ferrari for Mu Chenyan. Go, and be back quick. The gown for the banquet will be arriving soon, so try it on when youre back. If it doesnt fit, we still have time to make alterations. Mu Chenyan raised her brow, then she epted the car key and nodded her head in approval. Hailing a taxi in this area was too troublesome. It would be much more convenient for her to get around if she had a car. ... She didnt know if Yuan Xuan had deliberately arranged for Yan Mei to stay in Sheng Yu, the private hospital in Luo Hai. This was an aristocratic infirmary, and it was not rowdy like the public hospital. The environment here was good and the medical conditions were far better than the other grade three hospitals! (TN: the hospitals in China are categorized into three grades, with grade three being the top level; https://.jianshu/p/322c2df5f1d8) Of course, staying here required lots of money. The ordinary rooms were already freaking expensive, what more the VIP intensive care unit that Yan Mei was upying? Mu Chenyan followed Yuan Xuans instruction and made her way to her mothers room. The woman who was once so elegant and distinguished now had tubes inserted all over her body and was lying on the bedpletely motionless. Mu Chenyan merely took a peek through the window in the door, and her legs instantly became heavy, as if they were filled with lead. She could not get herself to take another step! When she was little, her mother had been very good to her. The quiet and graceful temperament of Mu Chenyan had beenpletely cultivated by her mother. Mu Chenyan did not expect to see the day when this graceful woman, who had been well-versed in poetry, literature, and rites and was always fastidious about everything, would beying naked without an ounce of dignity as she relied on stic tubes to preserve her life. Mu Chenyan had not shed any tears in front of Mu Fengs gravestone, but she could not hold them back right now. She mped her hand over her mouth and wept quietly as tears flowed through her fingers. She did not dare to weep out loud, but was struggling to keep herself sane. All the repression from her time in prison had caused her to develop the habit of crying with her mouth covered. Maybe it was because she had stood at the door for quite some time and was suppressing her crying so that her shoulders were shaking that she attracted the nurses attention! Miss, whats your rtionship with Madam Yan? The young nurse was holding a book, and she looked like she wanted to keep a record of the visitors. Mu Chenyan hurriedly wiped away her tears, and her voice was slightly hoarse. Im her distant niece! She did not mention that she was Yan Meis daughter because there were too many versions of the story regarding the sensational marriage and murder from two years ago. Moreover, it seemed that her mother was well-taken care of, and she did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Madam Yans recovering rather well! When she first came in, she needed to be kept on the venttor 24/7. Now, although shes still in aa, the doctor says that she had already be self-aware and that her vital signs are rtively stable. If she gets better, she might wake up very soon... The young nurse was probably trying tofort this sad distant niece, so she said a lot of positive things. Does anyone usuallye to visit her? Mu Chenyan knew that she still had an uncle from her grandmothers side of the family. She had not been able to apany her mother for the past two years, so she had was hoping that her mother had not been leftpletely alone. During the first 6 months of her admission, I heard that someone from the Yan Family in Jiangling hade visiting, but not in the past year and a half. Mu Chenyans heart sank. In prison, she had heard that the Yan Family was making an inventory of the Mu Familys remaining property in the first few months following the tragedy. What the young nurse was probably referring to this matter. s, this was merely the way of the world. Oh, Mr Yuan would alsoe by asionally! When the young nurse mentioned Yuan Xuan, her cheeks blushed, presumably because she had note across many of these outstanding men before. It was inevitable that she had developed a special kind of sentiment toward him. Mu Chenyan was well-aware that Yuan Xuans dazzling charm was irresistible to the eyes of many women! Was not she herself not the same in the past? Now, she was able to share her nights with this man. Yet, as she watched her mother in this state, she was unable to fathom even one-tenth of the sentiments she used to have for Yuan Xuan. After hearing that Yuan Xuan woulde to visit her mother often, Mu Chenyan smirked. How ironic. Alright, I got it. Thank you very much for your attentive care. Ill being over more often in the future. As Mu Chenyan spoke, she prepared to leave. The young nurse saw that she was about to go and muttered, Last month, a man came to see Madam Yan in the middle of the night. As Mr. Yuan had instructed that everyone whoes to visit register themselves, Sister Xiao Mei came by and asked him to register his details. However, he was very resistant and even hurt Sister Xiao Mei... Mu Chenyan immediately tensed up. A mysterious man? What did he look like? Mu Chenyan asked in a low voice. At that time, Sister Xiao Mei was the one who was on duty. She said that it was a tall young man. He was stout and well dressed but was wearing a mask and a cap. Before she had a good look of him, she was pushed away and knocked her head! Chapter 37 - Im Bait

Chapter 37: Im Bait

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt that this matter was too strange. If this man was someone from her uncles side, then there was no need to be this mysterious, going so far as to even hurt a nurse! Is Yuan Xuan aware of this? Mu Chenyan asked while narrowing her eyes. We didnt dare tell Mr. Yuan! Because before that, Mr. Yuan had arranged for a few groups of people to take turns to keep watch, but the people on shift were absent right before it happened, and they handed over the responsibility to the hospital. Who would have thought that something like this would happen so quickly? Thus, the hospital made sure not to let Mr Yuan know. The young nurses voice was getting softer and softer as she remembered the arrangement of the former head nurse. Seeing that youre Madam Yans family, I feel obliged to tell you... The young nurse was beginning to panic due to her disclosing this supposedly ssified information, and she quickly exined. Dont worry, I wont tell anyone. Mu Chenyan gentlyforted her. Mu Chenyan had a gut feeling that the man who did not want to reveal his face was probably her brother, Mu Chenwu! Mu Chenwu had been missing for two years, and no one knew about his whereabouts. Their mother was in the hospital in critical condition, and his sister was trapped in prison, unable to attend to her. Therefore, it was only right that Mu Chenwu, the only son, check on his mother! Nheless, why did he not openly reveal his face, instead choosing to sneak into the hospital in the middle of the night? Mu Feng had died, and thepany had gone bankrupt and had already been liquidated. Even if the court pursued the matter, Mu Feng was still listed as the legal representative of thepany. The contents of the reports were also all tied to Mu Feng, so there was no need for Mu Chenwu to hide. Mu Chenyan could not imagine who else, besides Yuan Xuan, could cause her brother to cower in fear like this. Furthermore, Mu Chenyan could notprehend why Yuan Xuan was still grabbing a hold of the Mu Family, unwilling to let them go. Was it merely because of Shu Qingers death? If that was the case, then Yuan Xuan did not even need to let her out. Letting her suffer in prison would have been easier and crueler. Mu Chenyan suddenly realized that the entire matter was not as simple as she initially thought. There could be a secret part of the story that Mu Chenyan was not aware of! A chill ran down Mu Chenyans spine as it urred to her that it took just one month for her case to turn around. Wu Ze had suddenly told her that the probability of sess for her appeal was very high. At that time, Mu Chenyan did not have much hope. She did not expect for her case to be sessfully overturned in one month, after which, she was acquitted and released... Last month,st month, could it really just be a coincidence? Mu Chenyans mind was spinning... At this moment, a bold guess suddenly formed in her mind! Could it be that Yuan Xuan was secretly looking for Mu Chenwu, but after seeing his trail but failing to catch him, he let me out to act as bait? Mu Chenyan felt the temperature of her environment drop to zero when she thought of this. She thought back to the days following her return. Yuan Xuans tender and sweet love toward her was something she had sought but had never acquired. Aftering out from that hell, Yuan Xuan had never once brought up Shu Qinger, instead, uncharacteristically ignoring the estrangement between the two whilst acting as though he was lusting for her. Could it be all be an act to pursue his hidden goal? However, even though Mu Chenyan had been filled with hatred, she was not willing to believe that Yuan Xuans affection toward her was fake... Her heart ached as if all her life force had been sucked out, and Mu Chenyan instantly felt like the room was spinning. She leaned against the wall of the hospital corridor as her lips turned blue. The young nurse thought that she was feeling cold and so helped her to a seat. Miss, are you alright? Mu Chenyan waved her hand and spoke softly, You can go back to your work. Ill be fine after resting for a bit! After the young nurse left, Mu Chenyan quietly went through the recent events. The more she thought about it, the more realistic her guess seemed! She even discovered something she had thought that her heart was dead, like stagnant water, but whenever a matter involving Yuan Xuan arose, she would just have to involve herself in it. Chapter 38 - Its All in the Hands of Yuan Xuan

Chapter 38: Its All in the Hands of Yuan Xuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The maid came over to help Mu Chenyan park the car after she dragged her tired body back to the Yuan Family Mansion. When Ah Fu saw that Mu Chenyan had returned, she happily greeted her and softly said, Young Mistress, youre finally back. Just now, Young Master had people bring over several pretty gowns for you to try on after youve rested! Chenyan nced across the sofa in the living room and saw a few gift boxes on it. Their packaging was exquisite, and one could only imagine how luxurious their contents would be. Mu Chenyans response was much dull, in a sharp contrast to Ah Fus excitement. Alright, but Ill take a bath before trying them out. ... Whilst Mu Chenyan took a bath, Ah Fu moved all the boxes of gowns to the bedroom on the second floor. After her bath, her body exuded a faint floral fragrance. Mu Chenyan used a towel to gently wipe her ck long hair and then conveniently hung the used towel on a hanger. Ah Fu aligned the gift boxes in a row and opened the covers. In them were neatly folded gowns, their colors and style all customized in ordance with thestest fashion. Crystal beads and diamonds sparkled along the intricate hand-woven grains. The Yuan Familys personalized items were given great attention detail and were never half-heartedly done. She had been out of prison for less than a week, so these gowns had not been recently acquired. It was very likely that Yuan Xuan had ordered them for her a long time ago. Even the timing of her release from prison matched the timing of the orderpletion. No one would believe him if he imed that he didnt haveplete control over the matter! Mu Chenyan did not dare to ponder any more. She was afraid of the fact that she could be living at the mercy of this powerful man. Everything rested in the palm of Yuan Xuans hand; she was merely a pawn in his game of chess... Her ten fingers tightly sped the edge of the gown as her palms became sweaty. The feeling of uneasiness caused Mu Chenyans hands to quiver slightly. Apart from her being wrongly used of murdering Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart, what other ties were there between the Mu Family and Yuan Xuan that she was not aware of? Mu Chenwu was the only loved one she could depend on, so she would not allow any harm to befall him! If Yuan Xuans purpose of letting her out was to lure Mu Chenwu out from hiding, then Mu Chenwus safety would be her primary concern. Mu Chenyan stared vacantly at a gown. Ah Fu, who was by her side, could notprehend the situation, so she poke up in a hushed tone, Young Mistress, Young Master says to put aside whatever pieces that do not fit you after youve tried them on. Someone from Miss Susies side wille over to re-measure and make alterations... Mu Chenyan snapped back to reality. She picked a champagne-colored chiffon gown from the set in front of her. It had a heart-shaped neckline with a draping shoulder design, making it look neither too revealing nor too conservative. At the end of the day, this was a banquet prepared by Old Mistress Yuan, and in the Yuans familys traditional sense, a rtivelyrge party, so she did not want to be ostentatious! The old her with the bright personality and bold character would not understand why she needed low-key when attending such a banquet. After all, wherever she went, she made sure to be the dazzling pearl! However, the current her did not want to be in the limelight anymore. It was not that she was inferior, but that her personality had changed! She would not acknowledge her identity as the Yuan Familys granddaughter-inw before her rtionship with Yuan Xuan is made clear. After all, the wedding had not sessfully beenpleted. Perhaps Yuan Xuan shared the same sentiment, which was why he promised to re-hold a wedding. ... Every gown had a specific set of jewelry to match. The champagne colored dress when paired together with pink diamonds was absolutely lovely! Yuan Xuan probably thought of this too. The set of pink jewelry, whichprised of a ne, a bracelet, a ring, and a pair of earrings, was delicately crafted and looked stunning. It was the most eye-catching of all the sets avable. Mu Chenyans fingers skimmed across the surface of the jewelry box before she hesitated. With a twinkle in her eyes, Ah Fu, who was by her side,mented softly, Young Master really knows you well. Before he left, he had said that if you chose this champagne-colored set and couple with the pink diamond, then you are sure to be the gem of the room C even if you dont want to be! As soon as Mu Chenyan heard this, her fingers moved away from the pink diamond. She pointed at the pearl box set next to it and said in a low voice, Take out the earrings and the headdress. You can put away the others. Ah Fu was puzzled. To her, it seemed that the young mistress fancied the pink diamond set, but after she heard the words of the young master, she insisted on choosing the pearl... Chapter 39 - The Tigers Not Home

Chapter 39: The Tigers Not Home

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In truth, even Ah Fu could see that amongst the selection of jewelry, the pearls were undoubtedly the most inconspicuous of the bunch. Moreover, Mu Chenyan did not put on theplete set, only the earrings and headdress! Generally, when women wear pearls, they would look older. Thus, only certain women were able to make this kind of jewelry look good. However, if the wearer was ideal for it, then even though it was rtively cheap, it could fit a variety of looks. Yuan Xuan seemed to be very confident in Mu Chenyans ability to pull off looks, which was why this set of pearl essories were included as a possible option. In the dressing room, Mu Chenyan casuallybed her hair to one side and inserted a dainty pearl hairpin in it. It paired well with her ck hair and looked absolutely exquisite. The champagne-colored gown perfectly disyed Mu Chenyans slim waist. Her swan-like neck was lean and slender whilst her fair skin was delicate, without any traces of loose skin. As she came out from the dressing room, her figure when couple with a cold temperament, caused Ah Fu to gape in amazement! Pretty? How rare it was for Mu Chenyan to reveal a smile. She spun around to give Ah Fu a look. Talk about the ability to look good in a gown! The title she once held of being Luo Hai Citys number one socialite back in the day was certainly not undeserved! Ah Fus face flushed red with excitement as she nodded furiously. Young Mistress, you look so pretty... as if youd juste out of a painting... Oh my, be careful, Ah Fu is two-faced. Previously shed told me that I looked like I had just walked out from a painting too! As Ah Fu was in the midst of praising Mu Chenyan, Yuan Tians clean and crisp voice came from outside, interrupting them with his pleasant voice. Mu Chenyan lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile. It seemed that Ah Fu had run out of words to say. Yuan Tians ponytail swayed about as her yful smile appeared at the door. Herrge ck eyes narrowed as she locked onto Mu Chenyan. How gorgeous indeed! Its a pity that Im not a man, otherwise Id definitelypete with my brother to win the heart of this beauty. Mu Chenyan reached out and pulled Yuan Tian in. The two sisters fondly held hands, and Mu Chenyan said while smiling, Arent you terrified of your brother? Do you really dare snatch his woman? Yuan Tian stuck her tongue out and nced around. Then, she grinned and said, When the tigers not home, the monkeys the king. Yet, here you are exposing me. When the tigers at home, its backside is not to be touched (TN: this is a y with the Chinese idiom, which actually refers to a person whos not to be provoked)! Yuan Tians smirking face was very adorable. Girls of a noble family normally would not arbitrarily use rude words like backside. Ah Fu was amused by the Fifth Miss words. She grinned and remarked in a silly tone, Both of you are equally pretty C its as if the two of you had just walked out from the same painting. What a pity Im not the emperor, otherwise, Ill bring you both into my harem! The Yuan Familys house rules were very strict. Apart from Ah Fu, probably no one else would dare utter such a crass joke. Yuan Tian, on the other hand, obviously did not care much about the rtionship between a master and a servant, which was why Ah Fu dared to be this wanton! The carefree Tian Tian was still the same as she was back in the day, and Mu Chenyan quietly sighed to herself. Yuan Tian walked toward them and looked at the row of gowns and jewelry box set up on the huge bed. She turned back to look at Mu Chenyan, then stroked her chin and thought for a bit before smiling and saying, Why choose such a low-key gown? In my opinion, this magenta-colored piece suits you the best. Your skin is fare, which will make this design absolutely captivating! As she spoke, she took out a magenta-colored gown from a box and sized it up against Mu Chenyan. This gown had a shoulder-sling design, and only those with a slim waist could pull it off. The wide mermaid skirt coupled with high-heels would ignite ones imagination. It would look absolutely enchanting on the right person. If matched with that set of white diamond ne and headdress... tsk tsk, phenomenal! Yuan Tian still loved the Mu Chenyan from back then, full of confidence and magnanimous. In doing so, she had inadvertently be the target of emtions by the various youngdies from other noble families. Mu Chenyan looked at that mboyant color and shook her head before letting out a sigh. My dad had passed less than three years ago. Its better to avoid wearing bright red for now... Chapter 40 - Yuan Xuan Was Clearly Doting on Mu Chenyan

Chapter 40: Yuan Xuan Was Clearly Doting on Mu Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After saying this, Mu Chenyan went to the dressing room. The dress was perfect and there was no need for alterations. She promptly took it back off. Yuan Tian clearly did not think of this. After hearing Mu Chenyans words, she began to feel awkward. She recalled the death of Uncle Mu Feng and of Aunt Yan Mei was still lying in the hospital. Slowly, she too began to inwardly me Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan came out and passed the gown to Ah Fu who lowered her head and put it away. After this, the two sisters went to the little garden on the third floor. Yuan Xuan had people moved a set of tea table there after seeing that Mu Chenyan loved to spend her time there. Amid the flowers and nts was ten square meters of open space. A tea table and chair were ced there, with a bamboo-woven umbre looming over them. Mu Chenyan was wearing arge white velvet sweater coat as sheid on the chair, looking just like a carefree cat. Yuan Xuans dominance in the Yuan Family was unrivaled, so even though they were siblings, Yuan Tian had practically no chance ofing up this small building! However, even Yuan Tian began to grow suspicious upon seeing Mu Chenyan, who such a stunning beauty, leisurely lying in the midst of the flowers and nts, . Yuan Xuan was clearly pampering Mu Chenyan, so how could there be bad blood between the two... Nevertheless, this question could not be brought up as the rtionship between them was extremely delicate. While in front of Yuan Tian, Mu Chenyan carried no burden at all. She poured a cup of tea for Yuan Tian before speaking up, About the banquet in a few days time... do you think youre going to attend? The reason why Mu Chenyan popped this question was that in the past Yuan Tian would often abstain from attending banquets and events. The Yuan Familys Old Mistress preferred males over females, and Yuan Tians carefree character did not please her as much as Yuan Rans gentleness. Add this to the fact that her parent, Yuan Tangshuo, was deeply immersed in the medical field, and it was evident that Yuan Tians upbringing was somewhatcking for a noble. Hence, Yuan Tian was unable to learn much of the mannerisms befitting of ady of a noble family. This was partially the reason why she was envious of Mu Chenyan! Chenyan, in regards to this area, could navigate these affairs with ease as she was fluent with words and excelled at handling social events. Her mind was quiet like a maiden at rest, but her words were agile like a fleeting hare! When she was at peace, every single gesture of hers was exceptionally graceful. In private, however, she was exuberant and buoyant, without showing any traces of her socialite background. Im most likely unable to attend. You know, my education is basically taken care of by my dad, and he wants to bring me to a conference during the holiday. When ites to work, those old geezers dont really care whether or not its a national holiday... Yuan Tian did not go through any formal university education. In this regard, Mu Chenyan was rather envious of her! She had been shadowing her father ever since she hadpleted her high school education. Other students in medical school learned much theory but had less practical training. Yuan Tian, on the other hand, was trained purely through first-hand experience. Various major and minor surgeries; theory and practical work; she had well-versed in them all! She even often attended academic conferences of any scale in the country as well as overseas alongside her parents. Hence, the skills which she had developed from this elite gueri squad, were much more superior than those of regr surgeons who had simply studied for five or eight years. The reason for this was that Yuan Tangshuo had hoped for her to gain a few years of practical training before sending her overseas to further her studies. When Mu Chenyan heard that Yuan Tian would be leaving, she became somewhat downhearted. The only person whom she could connect well within the Yuan Family would soon be unable to apany her, and a rare sense of loneliness bubbled up in her heart. Mu Chenyan had not experienced this kind of feeling in a long time. More often than not, she enjoyed solitude! It seemed that her heart was really not as dead as she thought. Her heart had once been very vibrant, and if she had not gone through those two years of torment, then perhaps she would still be fine right now. Yuan Tian noticed that Mu Chenyan was feeling a little dejected, so sheforted her in a soft voice. Even though I cant make it, Sister-inw Wen Ya will be there for sure! Chapter 41 - My Entire Brain Is Only Filled With You, Alright?

Chapter 41: My Entire Brain Is Only Filled With You, Alright?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan recalled that Wen Ya had gotten married to Yuan Zhe, the Yuan Familys second son, almost four years ago. If that incident had not happened, then she and Wen Ya would have spent two years together as sisters-inw. Back then, Wen Ya had outshone the other youngdies of the aristocratic families. Not to mention, while studying abroad, Wen Ya had been one of Mu Chenyans few friends! Shortly after returning home, Wen Ya had suddenly announced that she would be marrying the Yuan Familys second son, Yuan Zhe. Mu Chenyan had struggled toprehend this for the longest time. In terms of talent, Wen Ya was no less brilliant than her. Yuan Zhe, on the other hand, was slick and sly, and had a violent temperament, so she could not understand why Wen Ya would choose such a partner! Although Yuan Tian could not apany her, having Wen Ya aspany would be nice too. After all, they had once been close to each other, its just that Wen Ya had been keeping her distance ever since she had gotten married. She had been back for some time now, but was often cooped up at home, so there were hardly any opportunities for them to catch up. Thus, it seemed that the banquet would be a perfect opportunity! ... When Yuan Xuan came home, he did not see Mu Chenyan on the first and second floor. Ah Fu approached him and reported that Fifth Miss hade by in the afternoon and had already left, but Young Mistress had note down from the third floor since then. Yuan Xuan did not bother to change his clothes and hurriedly went upstairs to see his woman. Mu Chenyan was hugging a French version of the novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, and lying on a rattan chair. She was wrapped in a long velvet nket and had fallen asleep! Yuan Xuan retrieved the book from her arms as a smile shed through his eyes. Mu Chenyans status as a socialite did not rely solely on her beautiful appearance. While studying abroad in the university in the UK, Mu Chenyans excellent spoken English had ced her in the limelight amongst the circle of Chinese students in the university. Mu Chenyans figure could always be spotted in various public speakingpetitions held throughout the semester. Yan Mei herself liked French movies and the romance of the country, so Mu Chenyan had no doubt been influenced by her mother since young and had thus learned to speak fluent French! She even considered learning French as her secondnguage one of her hobbies. Mu Chenyan had read many French novels. Because of this, she had started a book club in her faculty, in which the dean of Mu Chenyans faculty frequently participated... It looked like she was still the same as before, making sure to maintain the habit of reading original French pieces. In Yuan Xuans eyes, she still looked like the old Mu Chenyan who had constantly carried a book as she tailed him around, chattering non-stop as she did so! ... Brother Xuan, dont you think that if Hamlet had not chosen revenge, hed have lead a better life... Mu Chenyans brain back then was filled with peculiar ideas. After finished reading a book, she would always try to modify it and view things from her own perspective. I dont think so. Yuan Xuans expression would be indifferent as he could not really be bothered about her opinions. Time was very valuable to him during his university days as he was simultaneously juggling his MBA as well as a BSc in Geology. At the time, Yuan Xuan had made ns to venture into energy development after he returned home. If Hamlet didnt take revenge, then Shakespeare would have been forced to write about something else. What is he supposed to write about, a love story? Yuan Xuan did not know what this womans problem was. Was her brain just wired differently from others? When Mu Chenyan heard his response, she nodded excitedly, grinning and closing in on him until the eyshes nestled above her big eyes were almost touching Yuan Xuans face. You dont say! Brother Xuan, thats not a bad idea! I would fervently support him if Shakespeare were to write about romance! Who says that romance-themed novels cant be famous? Isnt Dream of the Red Chamber and Romance of the Western Chamber about passionate love? Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a ssic, but a majority of male readers also talk about the love between Diao Chan and Lu Bu! Not to mention, Cao Cao liked to steal other peoples lovers, for instance, the peerless beauties, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiaos sisters... Even Journey to the West had the queen of the Ladies Kingdom falling in love with Tang Seng, whereas Zhu Bajie wanted to marry into Old Gaos household... Your brain is totally filled with messed-up love stories! Yuan Xuans handsome face gave her a snort of disapproval as he shook his head. After hearing this, Mu Chenyans lips twitched and her tiny face began to pout. Since when has my brain been messed-up? After all, its only filled with thoughts of you... Yuan Xuan had no reply. Chapter 42 - Thinking of a divorce? Forget about it!

Chapter 42: Thinking of a divorce? Forget about it!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan could not help but chuckle as he reminisced about the past. His slightly knitted brows disyed feelings of tenderness as he reached out to brush away the messy hairs on her forehead. During the day, Mu Chenyan slept very lightly. Whenever she heard noises, her eyes would spring open. However, this time, she was greeted with Yuan Xuans dark pupils. The deeply affectionate man could not hide his affection and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Were there any gowns that you liked? After the two breathlessly let go of each other, Yuan Xuan leaned his forehead against hers and asked softly. Ive chosen the champagne-colored gown. Mu Chenyan turned sideways and picked up her phone from the table before turning it on. In it were some pictures of her taken by Yuan Tian. Yuan Tian looked at the gorgeous woman in the pictures and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile. Everything really does look good on you. Im sure youll be the one all the youngdies of the aristocratic families try to emte. Yuan Xuan did not hesitate to give herpliments, something that he almost never did in the past. Back in those days, Yuan Xuan seemed oblivious to her beauty. At the time, Mu Chenyan genuinely felt that the only beauty in Yuan Xuans eyes was Shu Qinger... Even on the eve of their wedding day, the interaction between the two was never as intimate as today! Mu Chenyan was startled. She thought back to her spection in the hospital today and her heart became uneasy. Now that she thought of it, she did not even know what was the reason why Yuan Xuan had gone to the Mu Family to ask for her hand! At that time, she was on cloud nine and just thought that all her hard work and sincerity had finally paid off. Nevertheless, Yuan Xuan had a meticulous mind and was always well-prepared and crafty. He had always been extremely orderly in everything he did. Living amongst the aristocratic families and standing above all the other powerhouses in Luo Hai whilst relying on the deeds and riches of his father was never going to be enough. Yuan Xuan always had a motive in whatever he did. In the earlier years, the other aristocratic families who hadpeted with Yuan Family were rich in heritage, but they nheless ended up being crushed by the Yuan Family in a startling disy of Yuan Xuans abilities. The Mu Family at the time held a prominent position in Luo Hai. Due to the deep ties between the parents generation, the Yuan Family and Mu Family came together in marriage and joined forces. This win-win coboration was well-received by the public. Needless to say, the following course of events was truly unexpected. The Yuan Family had suddenly dealt a fatal blow and crushed the Mu Family. Looking back on it now, that marriage seemed like a joke! Mu Chenyan had nothing left, and now that Yuan Xuan was being this affectionate, Mu Chenyan was finding it harder and harder to understand him. All these sudden changes in his character must have a cause that she was oblivious to! Moreover, the only person who could exin all this to her was Yuan Xuan himself. Yuan Xuan, could you tell me... the reason why youre being so nice to me... Its because youre my wife! Yuan Xuan interrupted Mu Chenyan and pulled her up from the chair into his embrace. Is Mrs. Yuan satisfied with my answer? Then, what about the reason behind you making me Mrs. Yuan? Mu Chenyan could not help but prod deeper. Didnt you spend more than ten years of your life pursuing me? The handsome man smiled sinisterly. There was nothing more Mu Chenyan could say. She had pursued him for more than ten years, and that was the truth. Yuan Xuans charm was already lethal enough, but with them being this intimate, Mu Chenyan was unable to hold out any longer. She wanted to break free of his restraint and struggled a little to no avail. Im not sure anymore... Thinking of a divorce? Forget about it! Yuan Xuan immediately stopped her from finishing her sentence! He reached out and lifted her pointy chin, his rough thumb caressing her pink lips. If you ever bring up this matter again, Ill make sure youll be unable to get out of bed C and thats a promise! His warm breath tickled her eardrums, sending waves of delight through her body... Mu Chenyan looked up and felt like his dark figure seemed much taller and straighter in thete autumn evening. This exaggerated figure exuded a powerful aura that made her feel much smaller than usual. Who knew that what awaited her after uttering those words would be his aggressive advances! Mu Chenyans body stiffened, and the little pride and courage that she hadpletely copsed under the lustful gaze of his onyx eyes. Im... Im just casually... asking... The woman dismissed her previous bravado for the first time since her return and replied in a low voice. This delicate and submissive attitude caused Yuan Xuan to be in a great mood. Deep in herself still existed the old Mu Chenyan! Chapter 43

Chapter 43: My Appearance May Not Have Changed, But That Doesnt Mean That Im Still the Same Person

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The frightened Mu Chenyan ended up really staying home for the next few days. Besides reading books, she would either hide away on the rooftop trimming the nts, or busy herself brewing tea in the tea room. By now, Mu Chenyan had begun to grasp Yuan Xuans temper and pattern. As long as she behaved well, then he would not y any tricks on her, and the number of times he would wear her out at night would decrease too. Sometimes, he would even just calmly cuddle and sleep the whole night without trying anything funny. However, if she resisted even in the slightest, then he would be aggressive and domineering, ensuring her legs are kept open the entire night! Mu Chenyan secretly likened him to a devil. However, she held fast to the principle that real men do not fight with women, and real women do not fight with a devil, thus, she bit her tongue and remained silent. No matter what the specific reason behind all this was, it was smarter to keep quiet and observe from the shadows rather than speaking out and upsetting the devil. ... The Yuan Familys banquet was to be held in the evening of thest day of the holiday. As she had nothing nned for the daytime, Mu Chenyan took a trip to the hospital again and carefully cleaned her mother before driving back. Luo Hai was located in Jiang Nan, so even though it was autumn, then the afternoon would still be warm as long as there was sun. In the afternoon, Mu Chenyan enjoyed some tea in the small tea room before taking a nap on the tatami. In thete afternoon, Yuan Xuan arranged for their stylist toe over to apply makeup for Mu Chenyan and style her hair. Since the gown had already been picked out in advance, all the stylist had to do was set Mu Chenyans hair, put on the jewelry, and apply some light makeup. The stylist, Linda, was the same one who had prepared Mu Chenyan for her wedding two years ago. She fell silent as she looked at her old customer from two years back C it was as if she had not aged a day! Mu Chenyan was so pretty that she could not help but remark, Miss Mu, youre really Gods darling! Its been two years, but you havent changed a bit. On the contrary, some might say that youve be even more beautiful! Mu Chenyan lowered her head and smiled. My appearance may not have changed, but that doesnt mean that Im still the same person. As time passes, some things are bound to change. Linda nodded in agreement. She was probably also aware of the fact that the grand wedding from two years back was not actuallypleted. It would be unrealistic for her to say that nothing had changed. The average woman would have looked awfully pale and haggard after rotting in prison for just a few days. Therefore, Linda was curious as to how Mu Chenyan maintained her appearance throughout this period. Compared to the past, she now seemed to have developed a kind of calm and serene temperament. Nheless, this topic was obviously inappropriate to bring up! ... The banquet was held in the thousand-people-capacity hall in the biggest seven-star Wan Hao Yuan Hotel in Luo Hai. On the surface, this kind of aristocratic familys banquet was said to provide a tform for the younger generation tomunicate and exchange views, but in reality, it was merely a disy of power, a raw disy of far-reaching connections and strength! The aristocratic families who were high-ranking enough would often take turns organizing it. After this, the power of the aristocratic family would immediately be apparent by looking at their guests status and ss. There was no need to talk about the Yuan Familys standing in Luo Hai. Therefore, when it came to the Yuan Familys banquet, it was not a matter of opting to attend or not, but whether you had been invited in the first ce! Some senior officials felt honored to receive the Yuan Familys invitation, what more the budding young people of the aristocratic families! They had long viewed Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhe as the benchmark to strive toward, as well as the implicit leader of the new generation. This, coupled with the Yuan Familys powerfulmercial and military background as well as their tremendous foothold in political and business, made them living gods. To gain shelter under their far-reaching tree would be the equivalent of gaining a shortcut to the high-life in Luo Hai. By the time Yan Jun brought Mu Chenyan, all the elders in the Yuan Family had already arrived. The person greeting guests at the door was the second sons eldest child, who was also the Yuan Familys eldest grandchild, Yuan Zhe. Appearance-wise, there seemed to be many simrities between him and Yuan Xuan. The dark, bespoke suit he wore was well-ironed, and his shiny leather shoes reeked of ss. At around 185 centimeters tall, he stood out like a sore thumb in the crowd. The woman next to him was wearing a strapless sapphire gown and had one hand hooked around Yuan Zhes arm. Her smile was gentle and pleasant. The womans spotless skin was fair, and her wavy hair was tied up into a bun, with a white camellia diamond sitting neatly at the top of her head. From where Mu Chenyan stood, Sister-inw Wen Ya was as beautiful as a fallen angel... Chapter 44 - Showing The Unassuming Is the Current Mainstream

Chapter 44: Showing The Unassuming Is the Current Mainstream

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya had clearly spotted Mu Chenyan, but because she was busy greeting the newly-arrived guests, she could only politely wave her hand as she shed a warm and pleasant smile. Mu Chenyan waved back. Sister-inw, you continue handling your business. Ill talk to youter! The Yuan Family really did ce great emphasis on seniority. Even though Yuan Xuan was the son of Eldest Son, he was born to Yuan Tangbai at an old age and was younger than Yuan Zhe and Yuan Zhuan, which was why he was referred to as Third Young Master. Hence, Yuan Zhe would always be at the front during moments like these where they had to greet the guests. Wen Ya, as the wife of the Yuan Familys grandchild, was looking very elegant and generous at the moment. However, many of the guests here were influential people in themercial field whilst others were outstanding young officers in the military, and they had alle for Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan, being Yuan Xuans wife, should have been more active. However, she refrained from identifying herself as Mrs Yuan. Furthermore, her main purpose today was to make contact with Old Mistress Yuan, so Mu Chenyan naturally chose to remain low-key until then. She took a ss of champagne and kept out of sight, choosing to wait quietly by the side, watching the people moving about in the hall as they greeted and toasted with one another. She was no foreigner to these festivities. In the past, the Mu Family was also well-known throughout Luo Hai, and the essential meetings between the upper ss via cocktail parties were likewise regrly hosted by her parents. Hence, nothing here had any novel value to Mu Chenyan. She was unbothered as she quietly sat by the side, trying to fade into the shadows until she was needed. There were also sub-groups within the socialite circle whereby the beauties gathered in groups of two or three and conversed softly. Nevertheless, Mu Chenyan was unable to join in any of these groups. She had been gone for too long! Thankfully, the current her rather enjoyed solitude. This was to the extent that in prison, she actually liked being sent to the small dark room. This was because she would be the only one around. There was no need for her to talk to others, and she would not get beaten up... A faint light would creep in through the window from morning till sunset, and an even fainter light from dusk till dawn. This was how she had grown to appreciate the rare moments of loneliness she had experienced over the past 20 something years! ... Mu Chenyan did not see Yuan Xuan and figured that he was probably apanying the Old Mistress in the back. At this moment, there was a smallmotion in the crowd. Mu Chenyan looked up and saw a few people trailing behind a middle-aged man as they all strode into the hall. Yuan Tangbai was not around anymore, and the third son, Yuan Tangshuo, was an academic expert who was not interested in military and political affairs. Therefore, the Yuan Familys political position was naturally handled by Yuan Tangzhong! Yuan Tangzhong was fifty-something by now, but was still full of energy. His wise and refined demeanor was not like that of the big shots in the military and politics. Perhaps those holding higher positions naturally learned how to conceal their sharp intellect. Even celebrities were beginning to go onto reality shows to expose their own private lives. Shaking off the glitz-and-mor and showing their unassuming sides was the current mainstream! After Yuan Tangzhong made some brief exchanges with the people in the hall, he left for the VIP room in the back. Themotion in the hall quickly died down. A few young girls soon gathered together and began to gossip in a low voice. Even though they tried to keep it down, those who liked to gossip were never able to suppress their excitement, thus allowing Mu Chenyan to hear them clearly! Have you heard about the two most famous big shots in the Yuan Family? The uncle, Yuan Tangzhong, and the nephew, Yuan Xuan, are actually not on good terms! One girl said. Thats no secret. Everything seems to be calm on the surface, but they are actually fighting in the shadows! Another chipped in. That could well be the case. After all, the power that Yuan Xuans parent had gained was not handed over to Yuan Xuan, but was instead snatched away by his uncle. If it wasnt for Yuan Xuans terrific abilities, and his sess in taking an alternate path to building his own empire, who knows how terrible his life would have been now! What more, I hear that Yuan Xuan himself decided to give up his parents military merits? But even so, I feel that Yuan Xuan should still be the main authority in the Yuan Family. My father says that the Yuan Familys Old Mistress really likes Yuan Xuan and that the Old Mistress listens to whatever Yuan Xuan says. Even the Yuan Familys military and political powers bows to his will. After all, how could one acquire such a big deal in the national energy development project without connections? True. Some of Yuan Tangbais few remaining people are still in support of Eldest Sons orphan. Couple this with the old mistress favoritism toward him, and it wouldnt be a stretch to think that Yuan Tangzhong is dealing with a lot of pent-up frustration C even if he does always act calm! Chapter 45 - Unfortunately, Sometim

Chapter 45: Unfortunately, Sometimes the Other Party Is Destined To Be Your Enemy.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan knew a thing or two about the topic of their discussion. Back when she used to mingle around in the Yuan Family, she picked up on the surging undercurrent underneath the calm surface of the Yuan Family. In the early years, Yuan Xuan was still young. Add this to his many years studying abroad, and there were very little opportunities for the pair to meet, so their conflicts were not that apparent. However, after Yuan Xuan returned home, he boldly built his own enterprise. Only then did Yuan Tangzhong realize that this nephew of his was now ready to take on the world. The main problem with this was that Yuan Tangzhong himself was psychologically unstable! He might have held an impressive position in society, but until then, he had more or less rode on his deceased brothers coattails. Without Yuan Tangbais legacy in the military, his journey in politics would not have gone so smoothly. In other words, if Yuan Tangbai was still alive, then Yuan Tangzhong would be condemned to forever stay in the shadows. Yuan Xuan did not get to benefit from his fathers position but still managed to go down another route to eventual sess, thus leading the Yuan Family to greater heights. This proud young man was respectful when speaking to his uncle in person, but was, in fact, superior and very much aware of it, making Yuan Tangzhong feel rather embarrassed. Mu Feng and Yuan Tangzhong had a rtively close rtionship. By observing the interactions between her father and Yuan Tangzhong, she gradually learned of the dissatisfaction this uncle had toward his nephew. Nheless, household politics and business did not always exist in the same sphere. Hence, Yuan Xuan could be the ruler of his own world, while Yuan Tangzhong could prance around freely on his ownnd, neither intruding in each others space! In reality, the key to this temporary peace lied with the old mistress! The person who had the final say in the Yuan Family was obviously the queen bee. Old Mistress background as a mother was not to be underestimated, nor was Yuan Xuans mothers background. It was because of this maternal instinct that they were all on Yuan Xuans side. Even the direction of the gigantic ship that was the Yuan Family would sometimes depend solely on Yuan Xuans will. Hence, Yuan Tangzhong felt that he was under attack from all sides C he was powerless before this young man! Mu Chenyan did not initially take these things to heart, so she had never discussed said matters with Yuan Xuan. However, now that she and Yuan Xuan had be a couple and copted, Mu Chenyan grew suspicious. What role did her father, Mu Feng, y in this rtionship between uncle and nephew? In the early years, Mu Feng had followed Yuan Tangbai around to expand their territory. When they eventually returned to Luo Hai, Mu Feng had developed a close rtionship with Yuan Tangzhong. Hence, if Yuan Tangzhong was indeed not on good terms with Yuan Xuan, then what more his rtionship with Mu Feng? Mu Chenyans mind was racing with questions. As she was lost in thought, she identally tripped a woman who was passing by, causing her champagne to spill out and stain a corner of the womans gown. People were constantly moving about in the banquet, hence, slight collisions between participants were quitemon. Generally, the female socialites who attended these gatherings would always prepare two or three sets of clothes just in case. Mu Chenyan hurriedly apologized, Im so sorry. I didnt see you... The average person would understand that these things were bound to happen and just simply wave the other party away, ending the matter just like that. Unfortunately, sometimes, the other party is destined to be your enemy. Mu Chenyan? Why are you here? The womans high-pitched voice caused a few socialites to stop chattering and peer over. Why cant I be here? Chenyan got a clear look at the other party and saw that her face, which was as calm as water, was tinged red! The woman that she had collided into was her fathers business rival, the eldest daughter of the Feng Family, Feng Rao! Oh, it really is Mu Chenyan... the second mistress of the Yu Family, Yu Lingyun, chipped in. Why is she here? Wasnt she locked up in prison? Another woman standing by the side was the Zheng Familys eldest sons daughter-inw, Zhou Xianer. She arrogantly dusted her ck gown, as if afraid that Mu Chenyan would contaminate her. People gradually noticed Mu Chenyan the murderer, and their gaze began to shift to this side of the hall. Mu Chenyan had tried to remain low-key. She did not expect to garner this much attention so suddenly! Chapter 46 - Where Did This Courage Come From?

Chapter 46: Where Did This Courage Come From?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan knew that Feng Rao would not willingly allow her to back away quietly. The socialites hanging around the hall had by now already started to form cliques. They roped in people whom they could benefit from into their circles and formed an army of fake friends. Mu Chenyan normally flew under their radar because she was neither extremely close to anyone, nor was she so cold that she offended any side. However, she had forgotten that something called jealousy existed! Mu Chenyan was generally considered an extraordinary beauty who possessed exceptional character and morals. This girl who was blessed with both indisputable beauty and brains soon became the number one topic on everyones lips. Moreover, a rivalry between Feng Rao and Mu Chenyan quickly formed due to their fatherspeting with one another in business. However, this was not even the main reason behind their conflict. Rather, the main reason was that Shu Qinger had been best friends with Feng Rao! During the years that Mu Chenyan was pursuing Yuan Xuan, Feng Rao had resembled a loyal dog who was constantly by Shu Qingers side. When she returned from abroad, Shu Qinger had disappeared for a whole year. This was also the same year that Yuan Xuan asked for the Mu Familys blessing to marry her. Whenever Feng Rao henceforth bumped into Mu Chenyan, she would feel indignant on behalf of her best friend! At this moment, Feng Rao could not take Mu Chenyans calm indifference. You murderer, why have you shown your face? Does justice really exist? After all, you were released despite killing Qinger! Feng Raos emotions were going on overdrive. Her originally pretty little face was now bunched up due to rage, making her look rather hideous. To make matters worse, the formal attire that Mu Chenyan wore was apparently part of the same set as Feng Raos outfit. They were the same color, but with slightly different styles. Feng Rao had merely chosen a more revealing style that made her look bustier while Mu Chenyan chose an elegant off-shoulder design. However, the bustier dress that was supposed to be sexier had lost its effect when worn next to Mu Chenyan! After Mu Chenyan heard Feng Rao yell at her and call her a killer, she faintly smiled and quietly replied, The judge has already ruled me innocent so its not up to you to decide if Im a murderer. The women beside them looked as if they were watching a TV drama. Back then, when Mu Chenyan was infinitely impressive, their hearts had never felt anything for her but jealousy. Furthermore, the hearts of numerous socialites all over the city shattered after hearing the news that Mu Chenyan was nning to marry the Yuan Familys Third Young Master once again. If they had known earlier that a shameless woman like Mu Chenyan who constantly pestered a man could eventually be the Yuan Familys daughter-inw, then they would not have restrained themselves. They took pleasure in Mu Chenyans pain when she was imprisoned. When they ate additional bowls of white rice, only toter worry about sinfully gaining weight, they considered it a spit in the starving Mu Chenyans face... Feng Rao sneered. You still argued when they collected your blood samples at the scene that year... The blood sample couldve been artificially ced there! Thewyer had already stated this in court. Mu Chenyan was neither haughty nor shy. Her calm expression was as smooth as jade while her temperament was as cool as a spring breeze. Moreover, her indifferent appearance made Feng Raos heart rage even hotter! How could this woman still act so arrogantly after rotting in prison for two years anding out to discover that familys financial state had crumbled? Where did this couragee from? Shu Qinger was carrying Yuan Xuans flesh and blood in her womb that year. If were discussing timelines... Qinger and Yuan Xuan were childhood sweethearts, meaning that you were his mistress! Its a shame, you didnt seed in rising from your position as mistress because you were dragged away on your wedding day. Im afraid that means you cant be considered as the Yuan Familys daughter-inw either... Feng Rao yed her trump card! That six odd month male fetus... This matter was a splinter in Mu Chenyans heart... That child and Shu Qinger were buried in the Yuan Familys private cemetery, this much was undeniable. However, since the Yuan Family did not bring up this matter, Mu Chenyan had decided not to ask about it either. Furthermore, it wasmon for a man of Yuan Xuans status and position to have numerous concubines. Before their marriage, why would it matter if he had lived with his young mistress in an expensive house? The thing that bothered Mu Chenyan was the child! Chapter 47 - Would the Yuan Family Accept a Murder Suspect Like This?

Chapter 47: Would the Yuan Family ept a Murder Suspect Like This?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The rankings from the elder to the younger members of the Yuan Family were clear to see. Even if Yuan Xuans capabilities were superior, and despite the fact that the Old Mistress doted on him, he still needed to asionally bow his head to his elders. The people who came from the Capital City observed that certain matters like the inheritance of the elders status would still prioritize Yuan Zhe as he was the eldest amongst the children. If Yuan Xuan had impregnated Shu Qinger first andter taken the child back to the Yuan Family, then that childs ranking in the hierarchy would still be higher than Mu Chenyans childs, even if he was an illegitimate child... Thus, the city was awash with rumors that she had killed Shu Qinger after being ovee with jealousy! Mu Chenyan was not a person who fussed over rankings or money. She was only concerned with one thing: who was it that Yuan Xuan genuinely cared about? When this child was mentioned, Mu Chenyan felt as if her heart had been violently stabbed with a knife. Feng Rao, on the other hand, became pleased when she noticed that Mu Chenyans expression had changed. She smiled at the people around her and said, Even if you really did manage to free yourself from suspicion, what status do you hold that allows you to attend the Yuan Familys banquet here today? It was evident that not everybody was aware of the fact that she had already been released from prison. Moreover, they were even less aware of the fact that Yuan Xuan had taken her back to the Yuan Family Mansion and given her the status of the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family! Shes the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, of course shes allowed toe! Wen Ya suddenly appeared behind Mu Chenyan and said in an icy tone. The dignified and imposing Wen ya was actually the wife of the Yuan Familys eldest grandson. She gave off an impressive aura as she and stood behind Mu Chenyan before cing her hand on her shoulder and ring at Feng Rao. These two sisters-inw really made for a beautiful sight. Two of the four most beautiful socialites in the city had married into the Yuan Family. There was also Yuan Ran who was originally a member of the Yuan Family. In other words, there were so many beauties in the Yuan Family that outsiders would no doubt be filled with jealousy. Feng Rao was startled by Wen Yas words. She took a step backward and looked at Wen Ya in disbelief before stuttering, The Yuan Family... would ept a murder suspect like this? I told you that I didnt kill anyone. Miss Feng, since youre so insistent that Im guilty, the court dly wees you to provide them with new evidence if youd like! Mu Chenyan could endure others biting words, but she could not take the usation of being a murder suspect. However, her cool, pretty face did not carry any traces of maliciousness. On the contrary, her unwavering conviction resulted in a confident glow that seemed to subdue this venomous woman. It was hard to believe that her sharp-tongue did not deteriorate at all despite bitterly suffering for two years in prison. Although, she did be calmer and less prone toshing out... The youngdies beside her were used to seeing Mu Chenyans elegant side. However, upon just now seeing this womans lonely but unyielding side, their hearts were unconsciously filled with admiration. Wen Ya tightly grasped Mu Chenyans hand before the elegant woman stood beside her sister-inw and coolly smiled. Miss Feng, the Old Mistress invited everyone to gather here today to provide them with a tform to interact. At the same time, she had intended to use this event to formally introduce Third Young Masters wife who had just returned after oveing the injustices that weremitted against her. We do not have much patience for certain people who bring up domestic trivialities to fuel petty rivalries whenever they can! Mu Chenyan had never thought that Wen Ya would fervently back her up and even bring up the Old Mistress to support her. She cast a grateful look in Wen Yas direction. Sister Wen, I wasnt... Feng Rao became slightly anxious when she heard Wen Ya mention the Old Mistress. She started stammering an exnation, Its just that this woman made me think of Qinger! I only questioned her because my heart wasnt at peace... Miss Feng, Im Mu Chenyans attorney. If youre dissatisfied with the courts decision, then we can meet each other in front of the relevant authorities. I can sue you on behalf of my client for saying these defaming things here! A deep andmanding voice suddenly called out from behind the group of women, causing everyone to hurriedly clear a path. The moment Wu Zes tall form appeared, several suppressed screams could be heard from the youngdies of the noble families. Its the Second Young Master of the Wu Family! How handsome... As one of Luo Hais few highly eligible male bachelors, Wu Zes appearance quickly grabbed everyones attention. He easily and sessfully shifted their focus toward his attractive figure. His well-ironed upscale bespoke suit was appropriately elegant for the asion, which he coupled with a wine-red bow tie and a champagne-colored rose that was tucked into the front of his suit pocket! Chapter 48 - These Clothes Look Much Better On You Than a Prison Uniform

Chapter 48: These Clothes Look Much Better On You Than a Prison Uniform

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This man was eye-catching indeed! She wondered if Wu Zes attractiveness had helped him during his legendary journey as an undefeatable attorney. She imagined that it would be impossible for the opposing female attorneys not to swoon over Wu Zes seductive gaze and beautiful eyes. When Mu Chenyan saw that Wu Ze had alsoe to defend her, she could not help but smile at him. Wu Ze walked toward Mu Chenyans side and remained expressionless as he removed the champagne-colored rose from inside his suit pocket and quietly said, A fresh flower for a beautiful woman. Youve been released for some time now, but I havent had the time to send the Yuan Family a congrattory present. I hope youll settle with this symbolic gift for now. He could not have just borrowed this flower from someone inside the hall, it was clearly something that he had nned to bring beforehand. Mu Chenyan felt her heart faintly tremble as she took the flower and nodded. Thank you, Big Brother Wu. She referred to him as her brother because this man had genuinely helped and encouraged her over the past two years... Those two years had been the darkest and most helpless period of her life, but as her defense attorney, Wu Ze had always stayed by her side as a pir of support cum motivator. Wu Ze smiled lightly before raising his eyebrow and remarking, These clothes look much better on you than a prison uniform! When she heard Wu Zespliment, Mu Chenyans face instantly reddened. She had previously only met with Wu Ze when dressed in a standard prison uniform. She was fairly tall and possessed an extremely slim physique. Thus, she looked like an idiot who was wearing someone elses clothes whenever she wore the prison uniform that was 2 sizes toorge for her. Her heart was also constantly filled with despair at the time. When she recalled her sorry state, she became embarrassed. Wen Ya tugged at Mu Chenyans hand. She was very close to them so when she heard the two people talking in hushed tones, she was shocked! She thought of Wu Ze and recalled that there were indeed two male members of the Wu Family who did not want to take over the family business that had been primed for them. One of them had be a police officer C a senior inspector in the serious crime department, no less. He carried out his tasks regardless of the perils, which sometimes included facing torrents of heavy gunfire. The other one became an attorney who developed into a prominent figure in Luo Hais judiciary circle. When she heard that Mu Chenyans case had been handled by Wu Ze, she realized that the individual before her eyes had been fighting for Mu Chenyans innocence the entire time. Feng Rao was originally alreadycking in ss. However, after Wu Ze had appeared, she became even more flustered and did not know how to recover! Mu Chenyan never intended to take Feng Raos bait. However, she had provoked the other party through no fault of her own and caused such a disturbance. Everyone was crowding around them to watch the drama, but she knew that she absolutely could not embarrass herself by inciting an incident during the Yuan Familys banquet. She lowered her voice and said to Feng Rao, Miss Feng, I know that you and Shu Qinger were as close as sisters, so I can understand why youre upset at my presence. Nheless, Im not the killer, so please bear with me for now as Ill make sure that the real killer wont go unpunished. If you have a heart, then lets leave it at this for now, theres no need to cause any more of amotion. Mu Chenyans tone was t when she stated her own opinion. Nor did she bother mentioning that the other party was being irrational. Wu Ze attentively watched Mu Chenyan before a look of agreement appeared on his face. When Feng Rao heard Mu Chenyans side of the story, she noticed the genuine tone in her voice realized that she had merely wrongly used her. Her uneasy heart had caused her temper to re. Then, she nced at Wu Zes expression and looked back at Mu Chenyan before her eyes lit up. Suddenly, her lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, This Miss of the Mu Family is truly extraordinary. After spending a few days with her attorney, shes learned to be as eloquent as him! Youre privately exchanging amorous nces! Its really a shame as we all know the Yuan Family attaches the utmost importance to their hundred-year-old reputation. Third Young Master Yuan certainly wouldnt wish to see that hes been cheated on, right? After she said this, the hall became alive withmotion. Even Wen Yas hand that was holding on to Mu Chenyan trembled! Since Mu Chenyan was extremely beautiful, it would not be surprising at all if she had good results when it came to romance. However, the Yuan Family had strict rules, with some of these regtions so conservative that they caused outsiders hairs to stand on end... What kind of person was Yuan Xuan? Since he was an extremely obsessive person, would he not stir up a big fuss if he believed these statements? Chapter 49 - I Can Go About My Territory at Any Time

Chapter 49: I Can Go About My Territory at Any Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya did not dare ask too many questions, and she knew that showing solidarity with Mu Chenyan was the most important thing to do right now. Young Master Wu, you must charge by the hour when youre speaking on behalf of others. Defending someone against injustice in this manner is... Yu Lingyun was trying to act smart as shemented from the sidelines. Wow, Mu Chenyan couldnt have been fooling around with Young Master Wu to take revenge against Third Young Master Yuan forvishly living with his mistress, right? Zhou Xianer had already disliked Mu Chenyan since the start, but right now she was itching to spit some venom. Poor Young Master Wu. Whats so good about this woman that she managed to win over both Third Young Master Yuan and Wu Ze... The mistress of the Zheng Family could not help but say her thoughts too. These people were always like this: when they saw an opening, they would swiftly swoop in and attack from all directions. This group of people lived only to stir up trouble! The online equivalent for them would be the famous keyboard warriors or online trolls! They would only be satisfied once they sessfully spin lies twist truths. No one is truly able to control them. However, they needed to find a good excuse to do this so as to protect their statuses as young socialites of the aristocratic families. Hence, Feng Raos lead gave them the signal. Several male guests who were present watched the few women cause a scene while simultaneously passingments amongst one another. Despite this, Mu Chenyan only cared about Yuan Xuan. No matter how many young nobles salivated over her good looks, she would not even spare them a second nce. However, they had overheard themotion. Apparently, despite carrying the name of the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, this woman still had an affair with her own attorney, the famous Young Master Wu. It seemed like they had just obtained some information that could be used against Mu Chenyan. Who knows, this piece of ckmail could be their way into her bedchamber! Mu Chenyan remained cold and unflinching as she initially did not n topletely fall out with Feng Rao. However, she had never imagined that this woman would go so far as to drag Yuan Xuans pride into this! She could endure numerous things, but even she had her limits! Miss Feng, I feel like everything youve said thus far is nothing more than nder. Mu Chenyans icy tone was extremely obvious. You im that Attorney Wu and I are fooling around, but Id like to know why you entered Lan Gui Garden with my brother Mu Chenwu despite currently having a marriage contract with Luo Hais Fang Family. Mu Chenyan remained calm as she dropped the bomb. Everyone immediately burst into an uproar. Lan Gui Garden was a famous private club in Luo Hai where the people would often y around and get high. Most people could not even imagine the types of services that were provided there, but they all knew what type of institute it was. In their pursuit of excitement, numerous young people would rush to Lan Gui Garden to engage in S&M, threesomes, swings, and even orgies... Apparently this youngdy who belonged to an aristocratic family was also secretly doing these unbing things. However, the most important point to note was that the Fang Family, whom Feng Rao had yet to marry into, would bear the enormous weight of her affair. The color instantly drained from Feng Raos face. How did Mu Chenyan know about what had happened between her and Mu Chenwu when it was done so secretively? Her hand trembled as she pointed at Mu Chenyan and loudly cursed, Slut, youre maliciously ndering my name! Ill make sure you shed tears one day, so dont be too arrogant. You may be standing here and speaking all fine and dandy today, but theres a possibility that theyll find new evidence tomorrow. Youre not in the clear yet! Feng Rao was driven into a corner. Her ferocious expression showed that she had lost all form of self-respect and integrity. Meanwhile, everybody else craned their necks to get a better view of the show! I think Miss Feng wants to taste prison food! Just as Feng Rao looked as though she was at her breaking point, ready to turn the civilized quarrel into an all-out cat fight, a powerful and deep male voice cut short everyones hopes. Yuan Xuan stood at the top of a flight of nearby stairs. His tall and straight figure coupled with his imposing manner made him seem like an unmovable mountain. His slender finger gently stroked the white jade ring on his thumb as he gazed in Mu Chenyan and Feng Raos direction with murderous intent. Who do you think you are to scold my woman as you please? As soon as the man uttered these words, all the guests felt a bone-rattling chill run down their spine. Chapter 50 - How Much Had He Overheard?

Chapter 50: How Much Had He Overheard?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As he looked down from on them, the stern mans handsome appearance and imposing aura instantly subdued all the other men who were present. Even Wu Ze was forced to admit that he could not rival Yuan Xuan when that brat acted so suavely. This man who seemed as though he had descended directly from heaven caused the women who were harboring sinister intentions to grit their teeth. How did Mu Chenyan win the heart of such an amazing man. Yuan Xuans voice was not loud, but it was sufficient enough to intimidate the guests. His question was directed at Feng Rao, but his gaze was fixed on Mu Chenyans face as he seemed to stare directly into her soul. Themanding air in his gaze was apparent. When she recalled that these were the same eyes that he had every night during his insatiable ravaging, Mu Chenyan shivered. How much had he overheard? This man could well be the reincarnation of a meticulous and tyrannical deity! Yuan Tian had recentlymented that if not for Mu Chenyan who had brought her to the third floor of the Hibiscus Garden, she could not have ever entered the area. If he looked after the flowers and nts in his garden so carefully, what more his own woman? Meanwhile, Feng Rao was trembling with fright! She had never expected Yuan Xuan to suddenly appear and back up Mu Chenyan. Thus, she nned her escape as Yuan Xuan gracefully strode toward Mu Chenyan. His strong and powerful arms wrapped around Mu Chenyans slim waist. His overbearing aura was so powerful that even Wu Ze who was standing by his side could not help but hold his breath. It was as if he was a supernova, ready to explode. Mu Chenyan was evidently scared. Her little face glowed red as she quietly said, This doesnt concern Wu Ze! Wu Ze is a real gentleman so dont listen to her nonsense... Dont defend other men. Or do you want me to reaffirm my position? Yuan Xuan spoke in a hushed tone such that hisment was only audible to the two of them. However, Mu Chenyan was not stupid and could tell that this man was issuing a warning. Mu Chenyan was so frightened that her body began to quake. Her little hand tightly grasped Yuan Xuans arm before she quietly pleaded, I know that you want to show your authority, but this isnt the time... Yuan Xuan sneered. His handsome appearance carried both angelic and devilish features confused the nearby onlookers. He lowered his voice and murmured into Mu Chenyans ears, I can go about my territory as I please! From an onlookers perspective, Third Young Master Yuan seemed to merely be behaving dubiously with his wife. Looks of admiration from the men and envious nces from the women filled the air as they stared at the couple... Mu Chenyans expression changed. Her pale fingers gingerly caressed the mans powerful arms before her voice quivered and said, I just ept it when other people bully me, but dont tell me that youre taking the opportunity to bully me as well... This puppy-dog acting was a special weapon of the old Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuans heart skipped a beat. This woman had been cold and devoid of warmth for so long. However, now that she was disying her feminine side and pretending to be weak, she truly resembled someone who was acting like a spoiled child. This was very much like the old Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan had truly been a unique character in the past. She could be simultaneously adorable and strong. When she was rational, she resembled a coldly efficient assassin or a strong and powerful congresswoman. Conversely, when she shamelessly acted like a pampered child, she could rely on her looks to win. Thus, she achieved numerous kills this way, winning over the hearts of countless men who coveted her! When he thought of how he dominated a woman like this every night, Yuan Xuans previously gloomy mood briefly took a turn for the better. Im the only one who can bully you. If anyone else dares to take advantage of you, I wont let them off easy. Suddenly, Yuan Xuans tone shifted back as his cold eyes ferociously red in Feng Raos direction. Yuan... Young Master Yuan... I didnt mean to... Feng Rao currently resembled a piece of roasted meat on a charcoal grill. The longer she stayed here bearing the heat, the more nervous she became! One could not tell from Yuan Xuans appearance that he was furious, but she was frozen with fear nheless! Chapter 51 - Mu Chenyan Had Subtly Defeated Her Opponent Without Violence

Chapter 51: Mu Chenyan Had Subtly Defeated Her Opponent Without Violence

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion His excellent upbringing and the solid self-restraint that he had learned from his family made it impossible for this man to lose himself in public even when he was furious. He still maintained his elegant posture and smile but his mysterious brilliance was merely the calm before the storm. When she saw Yuan Xuans demeanor, Feng Rao was already fatally regretting this. She should have retreated earlier after seeing the circumstances because she would really be damned if she provoked Yuan Xuan one step further. It is my pleasure to wee Miss Fengs presence at todays banquet. However, Miss Feng, you shouldnt forget that the Feng Family took a 1.2 billion loan from the bankst month to help your business turnover. Since the Yuan Family is acting as your guarantor, dont tell me that Miss Feng wants to repay us by ndering the Yuan Family? Yuan Xuan casually mentioned these things but his superficial yet magnificent voice had achieved tremendously frightening results! The extraordinarily farsighted and intelligent man was not only handsome to the point where he made people lose their senses, but his mind was also extremely sharp! Those who ate from his table, benefited from him, or requested for his favors, and even his absolutely irreconcble enemies were all engraved in his heart... The onlookers inhaled breaths of cold air! Were they actually so wealthy that they could easily be the guarantors for others to loan several billion, or did the Yuan Family own this bank? The Yuan Family who prevailed wherever they were controlled Country Zs resources. Since they were the primary lifeline of technology, they could act as tyrannically as they pleased. Feng Rao was so shocked she nearly sat on the floor. The Feng Familys financial crisis had only recently passed. She did not want to use her sharp tongue to defend a dead woman just to cut off the Feng Familys way out... She remembered Chen Gang and his wife who were recently transferred to Xi Zhou. It was rumored that it was the result of Li Lis foolish actions in the mall when she hit Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuan did not lift a finger and merely chased them back to the barren and deste Xi Zhou. However, that pale woman was severely beaten by Chen Gang... She thought of how Mu Chenyan did not even have to move an inch topletely destroy the nephew of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources. Why did she have to butt heads with this deity now? Oh, Chenyan, you saw that I merely drank too much champagne earlier before you spilled booze on my entire body. I was just saying a few things out of anger so you shouldnt take it to heart... Feng Raos manner changed too quickly. Before everyone could even keep up with her, she had already moved closer towards Mu Chenyans side and held her hand! Mu Chenyan remained calm and took a step back before faintly lowering her gaze. She quietly said, The matters with Mu Chenwu that I mentioned were merely absurd spections! The woman who was with my brother drove a bright yellow Ferrari and wore a dark purple wig. Her head and figure were merely slightly simr to Miss Feng. In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, I hope that everyone here will refrain from carelessly rushing over to inform the Fang Family. A bright yellow Ferrari? Mu Chenwu had specially traveled to France and sought someone to mix the colors and spray paint the car before he gave it to her as a present. Other than her, who else in Luo Hai drove such a uniquely colored car? Other than the members of the Mu Family, no one else knew of this matter so clearly. Feng Raos face flushed with fury but she did not dare to reply. The person who went to Lan Gui Garden was indeed her... If Mu Chenyan did not mention this point, perhaps everyone else had forgotten as well. Moreover, this affair could be considered aspletely devoid of evidence now that Mu Chenwu was missing. Nheless, as the involved partys sister, Mu Chenyan recalled the details of the incident with such detail that it was hard for anyone to not believe her. Now that she had even specifically told them not to inform the Fang Family, perhaps this marriage would end up beingpletely ruined nheless. Mu Chenyan had subtly defeated her opponent without violence. Everyone sneered when they understood the implicit meaning behind her words. Frankly, among the people who were here, it was not an earth-shattering secret to have fun at Lan Gui Garden. They even had a mutual understanding when they encountered each other there. Thus, Feng Rao had gotten herself into this current mess with Mu Chenyan while thetter remained unperturbed. Wu Ze fixed his gaze on Mu Chenyan. He had never imagined that the frail woman he knew actually had a fighting spirit that reached the heavens! Chapter 52 - Certain Aspects of Mu Chenyan Were Changing

Chapter 52: Certain Aspects of Mu Chenyan Were Changing

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze still remembered the thin frail woman who choked with sobs due to the injustices that she suffered when he first came into contact with Mu Chenyan. Wu Ze spent more than ten years being devoid of attachments. He was proudly aloof from material pursuits and did not even have an eye for most women. Additionally, since he had spent numerous years pursuing his education abroad, blond-haired and blue-eyed beauties were simply not his cup of tea. When he suddenly saw a beautiful and delicate woman like her now, something stirred at the bottom of his heart. However, he had yet to notice it at that time. While she was in the Detention Center, her inherent calm grace and her tenacious confident personality that she nurturedter allowed Mu Chenyan to constantly say, I never killed anyone! I cant spend even one day here... I want to meet Yuan Xuan but why doesnt hee to see me... There was no need for me to kill Shu Qinger. Previously, I never cared whether Yuan Xuan loved me or not. There was no corrtion between my love for him and whether or not he loved me! Since Yuan Xuan has already promised to marry me as of now, why would I need to kill someone? I have no motive to murder anyone! This woman had her own set of ideas when it came to her love. However, the outside world did not understand her and merely assumed that she was jealous? Deep in his heart, Wu Ze wanted to delve deeper into this woman. In the beginning, she had certain reservations towarding into contact with Wu Ze because the person she wanted to see was Yuan Xuan. However, Yuan Xuan was upied with more pressing matters at that time, matters that would even lead to Mu Chenyans struggle between her love and hatred for him in the future... Mu Chenyan had never imagined that Wu Ze would be the person whom she came into contact with most in the following two years. Wu Ze initially epted this case because of his personal friendship with Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan did not reveal his entire n so Wu Ze merely epted the payment and handled the tasks. He executed everything and did his work ording to Yuan Xuans intentions. However, once he came into contact with Mu Chenyan, he became attracted to this woman whom he had heard rumors about in the outside world for a long time. When he noticed that his intentions were no longer pure, the man with a meticulous state of mind then realized that it was already too hard for him to break away... The longer he spent with Mu Chenyan, the more he was controlled by her every move and the changes in her emotions. During his previous cases, Wu Ze was clearly aware of his position. However, it was different this time. Despite being an attorney who was supposedly required to be calm and rational, he started bing sentimental instead. There were even numerous times when he went to prison not to discuss the case with her but to simply chat with her like old friends. He checked if she had grown thinner or plumper and whether herplexion was pale... Since he knew that Yuan Xuan had already arranged for people to care for her so that she would not suffer, he showed his concern in other ways. He brought fruits and health supplements for her in hopes that they would sustain her, allowing her to remain rosy andfortable until she was released from prison. However, he had never imagined that the nourishments he brought had never entered this womans stomach. When he saw her gradually bing thinner and recalled that period of time when Mu Chenyan told him that her hair had started to shed because she was too stressed, his heart ached but he did not dare to mention it. However, he began to secretly waver as he thought of ways to cast off Yuan Xuan and truly help her get out. If Yuan Xuan insisted on having his own way, he could advise her to divorce him... After a period of time, however, he felt that his thoughts were shameful and unforgivable. Yuan Xuan did not want to punish her by forcing her to die here. Thus, she would be released sooner orter. If he destroyed this bnce, he would be undermining his friend! Mu Chenyans loving stance towards Yuan Xuan had never changed. Although her resentfulness asionally seeped through, the original intentions of her love had never changed. This was something that Wu Ze had acutely perceived. This young woman who dared to love and hate had always made her affections and hostility apparent. Thus, the event that happened today when she hid her sinister intentions behind a smile was something that this girl could never have done in the past... When he recalled Yuan Xuan telling him about Mu Chenyan being abused in prison, Wu Ze suddenly realized that certain aspects of Mu Chenyan were changing... Chapter 53 - An Adorable Appearance

Chapter 53: An Adorable Appearance

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan gazed at Mu Chenyan in an extremely affectionate manner! This girl still had this trick up her sleeve? Fortunately, the members of the Fang Family that they had invited today were unable to attend due to matters that cropped up at the eleventh hour. Otherwise, the current banquet would have already turned into a circus between the clowns of the Fang and Feng Family! Yuan Xuan briefly nced at Feng Rao who was already drenched in sweat and alcohol while her face was greatly displeased. He turned around and beckoned Yan Jun over. Yan Jun did not know how else his CEO was going to stir up trouble. Hepliantly approached him while secretly praying for the Feng Family in his heart. He hoped that Third Young Master Yuan would not think of any ideas and would simply move the entire Feng Family to Xi Zhou as well... Go back and immediately arrange to buy up all of Susies designs. Dont tell me that the gowns she designed should be worn by any tom, dick or harry? Everyone was momentarily stunned before they suddenly understood the source of Yuan Xuans irritation. The formal gowns that Feng Rao and Mu Chenyan wore were of the same series and color had greatly displeased Yuan Xuan. Everyone secretlyughed. As the Feng Family was also considered as a prominent aristocratic family, no one had expected that they would be reduced to a joke before Yuan Xuan. Feng Rao who was initially already in a sorry state could not even cry now. She furiously sat her backside on the floor while holding back tears... Mu Chenyan turned her head and gently leaned into Yuan Xuans embrace. Her tranquil and indifferent face did not disy the delight of taking revenge but the slightest trace of sympathy could not be seen there either. This woman acted as if she had nothing to do with this matter but actually felt that this conclusion was perfectly reasonable. On the side, Wu Ze gazed at the little face that could mesmerize all living beings before a faintly distressed feeling stirred in his heart... This was truly no longer the Mu Chenyan that he knew two years ago! When Wen Ya saw that Mu Chenyan had finally gained the upper hand, she gently breathed a sigh of relief. Since Yuan Xuan had juste down from the back hall upstairs, it was likely that Old Mistress would soon arrive as well. As the Shao Family from the capital had visited them today, Yuan Zhe was in the back hall with Yuan Tangzhong. Old Mistress was definitely being stalled by Shao Yibai. They quickly dispersed the crowd. Otherwise, if Old Mistress saw how the banquet had turned into a joke like this, her rage would be directed towards Mu Chenyan no matter who was at fault... Since Yuan Xuan was present, the others would not dare to y any other tricks. Thus, Wen Ya rxed and turned around to nce at the back hall. An extraordinarily handsome man was currently raising a wine ss. He leaned against the position where Yuan Xuan originally stood and looked down as if he was watching a good show! Shao Yibai calmly watched the entire course of events when Yuan Xuan was protecting his wife. The corners of his mouth turned upward before a hint of a smile appeared there. He never thought that a little brat like Yuan Xuan could be so fiercely protective of someone else. When Wen Ya saw that Shao Yibai had already walked out, she quickly reminded Yuan Xuan and said, Old Mistress will arrive soon so hurry up and get ready! Yuan Xuan knew that Wen Ya had already been a daughter-inw of the Yuan Family for many years. Amongst the daughters-inw, she was considered the one Old Mistress favored the most. This could be considered as one of her strengths! She was gentle and caring, good at understanding others, and could even read the mood from other peoples bodynguage. She reminded them that Old Mistress was about to arrive because she actually wanted to protect Mu Chenyan. Old Mistress Yuan was born in a distinguished family. During her youth, she had also experienced turbulent situations. Nheless, matters like these where people made fools out of themselves and undermined others were definitely something that she hated the most in her heart. Now that Old Mistress ranked at a high position, she was incredibly strict when it came to educating the younger generation. If she saw that her own family had caused such amotion now, her heart would definitely feel extremely troubled. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and whispered to the young woman in his embrace, Go to the washroom and fix your makeup. Grandmother should be here soon! Mu Chenyan obediently nodded but her adorable state did not hide her seriousness as she turned around and left. Yan Jun hurriedly lifted up the person on the floor and said, Miss Feng, are you going to leave on your own or do you want me to escort you instead? Chapter 54 - Time Was a Ruthless Knife

Chapter 54: Time Was a Ruthless Knife

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Feng Rao crawled up from the ground. When she looked at Mu Chenyans figure from the back, the onlookers could not see her resentful gaze but Wen Ya saw it in full view. After gently sighing, Wen Ya turned around and loudly said to the everyone, The banquet has already started. Old Mistress is resting in the back hall but shelle out and greet everyone soon. Everyone can just make themselves at home for now. Everyone quickly dispersed and formed small circles to discuss their favorite topics. Whereas Yuan Xuan walked towards Shao Yibai instead. When Yu Lingyun and Zhou Xianer saw how Yuan Xuan had made things difficult for Feng Rao, they became worried that Mu Chenyan would take it to heart that they cooperated with Feng Rao earlier. Thus, they anxiously followed her into the washroom as well. ... Mu Chenyan briefly fixed her makeup in the washroom. When she looked at herself in the mirror, a shocked expression appeared on her face for quite some time! This woman, was this her? She was still bewitching where she could excite others while her exquisite looks were as enchanting as before. Moreover, she was still seductive in many ways while her slender and pretty figure... However, the soul inside this body was no longer as ignorant or pure as a young girls heart anymore... Mu Chenyans gaze seemed like a rippling flood but the whirlpool that was secretly surging in the depths of her heart would not overflow. However, this was not caused by the pain of being trapped during her time in prison. Conversely, this was due to the fact that her current feelings towards Yuan Xuan were no longer as pure as they were during those years! Time was a ruthless knife, a sharp de that cut open wounds to bleed without ceasing. Although she was already physically out of prison, Mu Chenyan felt that her heart was still locked in that prison cell that was devoid of a single ray of light... ... Oh, youre here, Chenyan! When Zhou Xianer pushed open the door to the washroom and saw Mu Chenyan absentmindedly looking at herself in the mirror, she eagerly approached her and did not appear to give her the cold shoulder anymore. Yu Lingyun followed her while looking somewhat ufortable! After all, this youngdy who had not overstepped her bounds was not as shameless as Zhou Xianer. Earlier in the hall, she avoided her as if she was afraid that she would be infected by the gue. Now, however, she enthusiastically bounced over to her side! Frankly, she was just afraid of the man who stood behind her. Mu Chenyan was uncertain of their motives. She cautiously took a step backward and steadied her emotions as she red at Zhou Xianer before she speaking in a cold tone, Is something the matter, Mrs. Zheng? When Zhou Xianer saw that Mu Chenyans overly chilly attitude, her gaze grew gloomy before she faintly drew back as well. She had never expected that after being separated from Yuan Xuan for two years, the young socialitedy of the past would actually purify her heart and reduce her number of desires to this extent. Lingyun and I just wanted... just wanted to tell you that... I dont care about how you treated me earlier! After listening to what they had said earlier, Mu Chenyan had guessed their intentions behinding here. With a monotonous voice of indifference, she cut Zhou Xianer off! Zhou Xianer awkwardlyughed and said, Its just that were all sisters so how could you actually be angry... I wasnt your sister in the past and Ill never be your sister in the future! Mu Chenyans had a shockingly low EQ, thus her sharp and cold words gave Zhou Xianer and Yu Lingyun no ce to hide themselves. Neither of them could have imagined that the woman who was previously so harmless and seductively enchanting would say such rude and offensive words. Mu Chenyan, what do you have to be proud about? The Mu Family has already fallen from the ranks of the aristocratic families. Do you still think that youre the number one socialite of the past just by relying on the status and background that Yuan Xuan gave you? Since she was still youthful, Yu Lingyun was confident in her beauty, family background, and good academic achievements. When she thought of how the outside world still perceived Mu Chenyan as the number one socialite even while she was imprisoned, she was extremely displeased. Now that she had seen Mu Chenyan behaving in such an arrogant manner, she could not endure it anymore! Yuan Xuan spoiled his mistress that year before he got married and she even nearly gave birth to his child. You cant be certain that he wont repeat the same mistake again in the future! You should request numerous things to secure your position. Once youve be the wretched abandoned wife, I wonder if youll still have anything to be proud of? Yu Lingyun spoke in a flustered manner. Herst two sentences were somewhat too sinister and extremely humiliating but Zhou Xianer did not even bother to stop her. Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan sneered and said, Is that true? Thats what youre saying but I think that you should go and get stic surgery to see if you can get Yuan Xuan to sleep with you. Once youve given him a son and daughter, then you cane and trample over me! Oh! How harsh! Yu Lingyun and Zhou Xianer looked as if they had seen a ghost. They could not believe that the woman who stood before them was Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan did not even give them a chance to respond. While they had yet to swallow their breaths and were still craning their necks and staring, she had already pushed open the washroom door and walked out. Chapter 55 - He Met Her Twelve Years Later Than Yuan Xuan

Chapter 55: He Met Her Twelve Years Later Than Yuan Xuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Inside the banquet hall, Shao Yibai noted that Yuan Xuans gaze was still ring in Wu Zes direction. This insidious man was clearly somewhat uneasy. This jerk by the name of Shao Yibai felt that he should try his best to point out some of the other partys behaviors, even if he needed to be a bad friend to do so. That person would not change if he did not tell him the truth to wake him up, much less felt that he was getting what he deserved! Youre fortunate to have such a beautiful wife. Its extremely normal to have severalpetitive rivals for a beauty like her. Hence, women cannot simply be captured by relying on sheer force. On the contrary, you need to understand certain appropriate behaviors as well. Shao Yibai saw through Yuan Xuans insecurities with one look. This young handsome man from the Capital City was rumored to be otherworldly. However, he had now turned into one of the experts on romance problems who generally appeared on the eight oclock shows... Yuan Xuans anger subsided and he started to ponder. During those two years, he had indeed hurt the womans heart and allowed another man tofort her. As of now, he knew that indulging his rival was equivalent to asking for trouble but it was toote now. That stupid woman openly epted his champagne-colored rose... He shook the wine ss in his hand. When he thought of the womans expression earlier despite her usual indifference, Yuan Xuansplexion got darker. Recalling Wu Zes expression when he looked at Mu Chenyan earlier, he felt extremely constricted as if his heart was being crushed by a rock. Shao Yibai sneered, his devilishly handsome face bewitching everyone. Youre the king of this territory so youre destined to face numerous rivals! Let me remind you that it seemed like your grandmother has arranged another good show for you. Youre the male lead so make sure you perform well! Shao Yibai purposely spoke vaguely to keep Yuan Xuan in suspense. From the looks of it, it seemed like he knew bits and pieces of inside information. Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was extremely displeased with Shao Yibais secretive attitude. Did you get some new information from Old Mistress earlier? Old Mistress regarded Shao Yibai as one of her own children and loved him as such. After several years without meeting him, the old grandmother held Shao Yibais hand and asked him lots of questions while they were in the lounge in the back hall earlier. While she was rambling on, perhaps certain matters had identally slipped out as she was speaking to Shao Yibai just now? Shao Yibai looked like he was taking pleasure in the other partys pain. He swirled the wine in his ss he smiled sinisterly and diverted the topic. Luo Hai is truly a great ce. Thend is fertile and the water is fresh while the women here are also excellent. Inparison to the women in Capital City, women here have fairer and healthier skin... Shao Yibai, dont you dare beat around the bush with me! Ill f*cking... (TN: Since theres no English equivalent for o zi to imply that Yuan Xuan was behaving rudely, the curse word was added to imply the same effect.) Yuan Xuan, a godlike man, only exposed his crude side in front of Shao Yibai. Hey hey hey, youre also a cultured person. Youre the number one young man among Luo Hais aristocratic families, so which noble son would actually open their mouth and curse like that? Despite being the one who always cursed while they were in the army camp, Shao Yibai was unrelenting nheless. The new contraband recruits and rookies under him frequently got scolded badly by him because their physical stamina was too weak and their attack skills were inferior. Thus, it was truly outrageous for Yuan Xuan to curse in front of him now! Yuan Xuan did not want to argue with him. His gaze caught sight of Mu Chenyan walking out of the washroom from another direction, and he strode to her direction. Yuan Xuan currently resembled an injured cornered beast. He was worried sick that the prey which he had fought hard and suffered critical injuries to get had entered the line of vision of another powerful rival. Wu Ze gazed at Mu Chenyans slender figure from the corner. He initially wanted to walk over and chat with her. Ever since the courts verdict was reversed and she was released from prison, he had never had the opportunity to speak with her privately unless it was rted to the case. However, he paused in his steps when he saw Yuan Xuans hurried footsteps. Deep in his heart, he was extremely conscious of the fact that these two people are a married couple. Regardless of how Mu Chenyan viewed Yuan Xuan in her heart, this rtionship could not be broken. If he got close to Mu Chenyan without permission, he would be the other man. With the marriage certificate in ce, Wu Ze felt he would not even stand a chance to engage in a fairpetition even as a kind-hearted man... He had met her twelve yearster than Yuan Xuan! Chapter 56 - Ill Teach You When We Go Home Tonight

Chapter 56: Ill Teach You When We Go Home Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Before Mu Chenyan could react, Yuan Xuans dark figure closed in on her. This handsome man was strangely calm as he embraced her. Despite the slight displeasure in his tone of voice, it was obvious that he was deliberately suppressing his emotions. He spoke to her quietly, Why are you still holding the rose? Be careful of its thorns! Mu Chenyan was baffled. From the moment she epted the rose from Wu Ze, she had been holding it in her hand till her palm was sweating! Its from Big Brother Wu. I cant be seen throwing it away in front of him... Her tone was nd, without a trace of uneasiness. It seemed that to her, this rose was no different from other flowers. It was not out of the line for Mu Chenyan to call him Brother Wu Ze. Mu Chenwu was promiscuous and unruly, and every time he visited her in prison, apart from swearing irritably about Yuan Xuan, the Yuan Family, and the Shu Family for not having any consideration about their friendship, he had hardly brought her anyfort. Wu Ze, on the other hand, besides fulfilling his duties as an attorney, wouldfort and encouraged her like a big brother. Listening to her nd tone, Yuan Xuans sharp chin fondled Mu Chenyans head. He held her head against his warm chest and whispered, Its been a long time since youst called me Brother Xuan... Mu Chenyan was speechless. ... Mu Chenyans shoulders were stiff. She did not even have the strength to ce her arms on Yuan Xuans waist but just let them hung loosely by the side. To her, these two words, Brother Xuan, was like a mantra she would keep repeating two years back, but now, she really could not mutter it out... I... I dont know know how to say... Mu Chenyan did not know how to describe her emotions this moment. Her ck eyes nced across Yuan Xuans exceedingly handsome and captivating face, and her soft voice was extremely pleasant to his ears. Seeing her feeling embarrassed but yet still looking mesmerizing, he was entangled deep within. Dissatisfied with her always deliberately and struggling to keep a distance, he wanted to teach her a lesson, yet he had no resistance for her soft and gentle voice. He had definitely been poisoned by this evil woman! Yuan Xuan calmed himself down and suppressed his tone to not frighten her. Then, Ill teach you tonight when we are back home. Mu Chenyans face immediately blushed. The hunger showed radiantly in Yuan Xuans gaze. Regarding matters in bed, Yuan Xuan had always been the dominant one. Although Mu Chenyan was passively engaged, she would still be aroused by him and be caught in the frenzy in the end. Mu Chenyan was afraid of that part of her losing herself and moaning under him without any scruples. She knew very well that he was poisonous and had once brought her doom, yet she was unable to control herself. During the heat of climax, it was as if whatever he asked her to do, she would do it without any hesitation... Noticing that Mu Chenyan understood his meaning, Yuan Xuan proudly smiled. She had on a peach color lipstick today, and the fair and delicate woman was now extremely shy like a peach blossom. The two were interacting ambiguously, disying their affection publicly as if no one else was around. At the other end of the hall, Shao Yibai was caught up with a few youngdies of the aristocratic families as they mustered up their courage and tried to flirt with this mysterious gentleman from the Capital City. It was not surprising that people were not familiar with Shao Yibai. First of all, because of the military status and the meritorious service of the Shao Family, he had no choice but to maintain a low profile; secondly, Luo Hai was not Shao Familys territory as most of the Shao Familys power and forces were located in the Capital City. As to why the youngdies had their eyes on this mysterious low-key handsome was that they figured that those who were eligible to attend the Yuan Familys banquet must either be rich or distinguished. What more, this gentleman was having a lively conversation with Yuan Xuan earlier on, so he must be someone with a prestigious status! Amongst the young men of the aristocratic families in Luo Hai, Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhe were already taken. Putting aside those who were once married or were inws, there were hardly any such brilliant gentlemen left in Luo Hai. Shao Yibai was a wolf in sheeps clothing. He would not refuse any of those who approached him, and the more the better. Since the women in Luo Hai were all pretty and delicate with fair skin akin to lotus flowers which just bloomed from the waters, he definitely did not mind the enjoyablepany to chat and drink with him. Only Yuan Xuan knew how difficult it was to win this mans heart. Chapter 57 - Old Mistress Treated Her Like A Pair of Worn Out Shoes To Be Discarded

Chapter 57: Old Mistress Treated Her Like A Pair of Worn Out Shoes To Be Discarded

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Herees Old Mistress! Someone shouted. Everyone simultaneously moved closer towards the direction of the stairs. Old Mistress Yuan was surrounded by a few people. She looked elegant and poised, coupled with a generous bearing. Compared to two years ago, Mu Chenyan felt that Grandmother was even more hale and hearty and no one would notice that she had passed the age of 70! Yuan Tangzhong was walking beside Old Mistress, introducing the young people around to her in a low voice. Old Mistress had a kind and gentle appearance, and she amiably greeted everyone. When she came across familiar young people, she would have theme closer and inquire further details, giving some thoughtful advice. The atmosphere in the hall turned vibrant once more. Yuan Zhe followed behind Old Mistress. He had just changed into a white shirt and dark blue vest. His upright and handsome appearance revealed the demeanor of a distinguished gentleman in all his movements. Following beside Yuan Zhe was a thin and refined man, who was wearing a pair of golden-edged sses. He looked decorous, not saying a word but smiled at everyone. Mu Chenyan recognized that he was Second Young Master, Yuan Zhuan. Due to the nature of work resulting in having to stay in the hospital all day long, Yuan Tangshuo and his wife together with Yuan Tian were unable to attend. However, as a man of the family, the brother, Yuan Zhuan, must apany by the Old Mistress side no matter what. Old Mistress, the one with the highest position and who has the final say in the Yuan Family, led a few of her grandchildren with outstanding appearances to socialize in the crowd. It was quite imposing! Usually, Old Mistress Yuan would not attend such asions, but her own annual aristocratic family banquet was an exception. Wheres Xuaner? When Old Mistress Yuan did not spot Yuan Xuan, she asked Yuan Tangzhong, who was beside her. Maybe he has gone out to bring Chenyan in. Yuan Tangzhong looked around. When his gaze fell on his nephew, he smiled. Yuan Xuan knew that Grandmother must be inquiring about his whereabouts, so he brought Mu Chenyan along as he headed towards Grandmother. Grandmother, Chenyan had returned for a few days. Ive brought her over today to greet you. As he spoke, Yuan Xuans big hand held on to Mu Chenyans and he pulled her closer to him. Mu Chenyan went forward and gently greeted, Grandmother, is your body in good health? Old Mistress Yuan gave a nce at Mu Chenyan, her initial happy look instantly lost its vibrancy. Cant you see for yourself whether Im doing fine? The displeasure in her tone was beyond words. The moment Old Mistress words came out, everyone gasped. Particrly Zhou Xianer and Yu Lingyun who had lost out earlier. Both had on a gloating expression. Mwahaha! Yuan Xuan cared deeply about Mu Chenyan, but the one with the highest status in the Yuan Family, Old Mistress, treated her with contempt, like a pair of worn out shoes to be discarded. What a major discovery this was! Mu Chenyan clearly did not expect Old Mistresss hostility towards her was this apparent. She had oftene over to the Yuan Family in the past, and although Old Mistress did not like her much, she did not reveal any enmity. When Yuan Xuan proposed marriage to the Mu Family, Old Mistress did not object as she felt that since it was somebody that Yuan Xuan liked and the Mu Familys background was fine that time. The end result of the marriage was barely satisfactory, but the responsibility should not lie with Mu Chenyan! Who would knew that Old Mistress would embarrass her in front of so many people today? Mu Chenyan felt wronged and upset, but she maintained her calm expression on the surface. She smiled faintly and said softly, Ive returned for a few days. Yuan Xuan said to wait till Im better before paying my respects to Grandmother. Grandmother must have been angry with me. Its all my fault... Thats not necessary! Old Mistress Yuan sneered. Xuaner has already told me, so anytime you want to send your greetings to me is up to your liking! Wen Ya saw Mu Chenyans face paled. With so many people around, and she was afraid that Old Mistress would say even more unfriendly words to hurt Mu Chenyan. She hurriedly pulled Mu Chenyan to her side and said smilingly, There are many people around today, and Grandmother cant be speaking that much here. We can continue the conversation when were back at the mansion, and it wont be toote still. Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan looking upset. The distinguished man pursed his lips, his dark eyes instantly turned menacing. He hugged Mu Chenyans shoulders, and his deep voice sounded, Sister-inw, please bring Chenyan to get some food. Her body is weak, and she has been standing here for some time waiting for Grandmother. Looks like Grandmother has not adapted to the fact that Xuaners wife is back! Chapter 58 - They Truly Are Big-tailed Wolves

Chapter 58: They Truly Are Big-tailed Wolves

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans words were a form of warning and deration Mu Chenyan was his wife! Others might not ept it, but this is a fact that would not change. When Old Mistress Yuan heard Yuan Xuans tone and attitude, she instantly felt that she had lost her face, but because there was an audience before her, she could not re up. The grandson whom she had personally brought up actually disobeyed her time after time for this woman? Yuan Zhe looked at Mu Chenyans figure and gave a cold sneer. This woman was Yuan Xuans weak spot. Now that she was back, things would get bustling in the Yuan Family! Wen Ya pulled Mu Chenyan aside. Seeing Mu Chenyans aggrieved face, she could not help butughed. The Yuan Family is like this. Youve been inside of the Yuan Family way earlier than me. Are you still not aware that the rules here are so conservative and out of date? Look at those grand old masters. When they see Old Mistress, they dont even dare to let out a fart. Even if they did, if Old Mistress says that it smells good, theyd have to follow suit. At least Yuan Xuan stood up and spoke for you. Upon hearing that, Mu Chenyan could not help but be amused. Wen Ya was wearing a befitting gown. Her gestures reflected the manner a mistress of a prestigious family should have, dignified as a fairy who had descended to Earth, but her manner of speech was humble and grounded. Yes, they truly are big-tailed wolves. (TN: A Chinese term to indicate a person whos pretentious. Its not that this wolfs tail is big, but because of its pretense, when its tail is revealed, it gives off the false impression that it is big.) Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Zhe, Yuan Xuan, and Yuan Zhuan still ingratiating themselves around Old Mistress. She did not dare to scold Grandmother, so she could only vent her anger on those men who would say that the Old Mistress fart was fragrant... Seeing Mu Chenyan pouting her tiny mouth and the annoyance on her pink and tender face, Wen Ya could not stopughing. She hadpletely forgotten that among the big-tailed wolves Mu Chenyan mentioned, there was also her husband! The two women were of the same identity, and they were once friends, so they quickly formed a united front. Mu Chenyan could notprehend as to why Old Mistress Yuans attitude towards her was always this lukewarm. Speaking of that, Mu Feng was half-a-rank lower than Yuan Tangbai. Mu Feng was Yuan Tangbais Deputy General, and in the military, half-a-rank made a great difference. Old Mistress Yuan had always thought that her eldest son was extremely brilliant, so she had favored Yuan Tangbai the most since he was little. Unfortunately, nothing in this world was constant, and Yuan Tangbai passed away. Although he helped the Yuan Family gained an indelible meritorious service award, he was not around anymore, and she was not able to ovee this hardship in her heart. Mu Feng returned to Luo Hai after guarding the border for 10 years. When Old Mistress Yuan saw that the formerrade was still alive and well, it triggered memories of the past. She recalled her deceased son, and in her heart, she was psychologically imbnced. Moreover, Mu Feng even brought back a bright and cheerful little girl from Xi Fan. That girl was exactly 10 years old and by calction, she must have been born during the pacification of the war in Xi Fan. This child, who had grown up alongside her parents, had a good character with a cheerful personality, but her son and daughter-inw had been buried for 10 years, leaving behind an unfortunate and lonely grandchild! There was a saying that went as such, if there was noparison, there would be no harm. Old Mistress Yuans state of heart was imbnced, and she herself was not aware that she had been blindly disliking Mu Chenyan all along. Plus, it so happened that this girl loved visiting the Yuan Family and getting close to Yuan Xuan, calling him Brother... Yuan Xuan was withdrawn and aloof, so no one was able to grasp his inner thoughts. Apart from Shu Qinger, whom the Shu Family had entrusted to the care of the Yuan Family, there were hardly any friends around Yuan Xuan. However, Qinger was sent to study abroad since the early years, so Yuan Xuan was left by himself, and he was truly lonely. Old Mistress Yuan was afraid that the child would not be blissfully happy for a long time, but seeing that when Mu Chenyan was by his side, he would at least smile a little, she tacitly acknowledged the two childrens friendship... At that time, she was not aware that Mu Chenyans little heart had weed Yuan Xuan in, and she had the kind of determination in which she had pledged herself to marriage at first sight. When Yuan Xuan returned from his studies abroad, Mu Chenyan also followed suit. She did not choose to continue to pursue a masters degree but followed him back. Everybody in Luo Hai knew that Mu Chenyan liked the Yuan Familys Third Young Master! Chapter 59 - Everyone Had a Selfish Side

Chapter 59: Everyone Had a Selfish Side

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion All along, Old Mistress preferred girls like Qinger, who was gentle and caring, obedient, without many thoughts. Mu Chenyan was clearly not such a girl! Being overly clever and quirky and having the conspicuous title of the number one socialite, the woman who was to partner with Yuan Xuan for life was not supposed to be like this. However, Yuan Xuans stance had always been unknown. After returning to the country, this child began to resolutely and fervently start up his own business. The connections left by Yuan Tangbai was still present. Coupled with Old Mistress forces and the support from Yuan Xuans mother, Jiao Shuzhen, his way to sess was pretty smooth-sailing. At that time, although Old Mistress did not open her mouth, yet she was mumbling in her heart, Mu Chenyan is too dazzling. Having her stay by Yuan Xuans side for too long isnt a good thing! The matter of marriage was on the agenda, but Yuan Xuan seemingly did not seem to be concerned about it. Old Mistress Yuan was unable to perceive his grandsons attitude toward girls. She did not expect that Yuan Xuan proposed to the Mu Family and he did not inform anyone. ording to the rules of the aristocratic families in Luo Hai, when there was a marriage, notices would be given out to invite the eldest people in the older generation, and an engagement party-like banquet would be held to announce it to the world. When Mu Feng came visiting, only then did Old Mistress Yuan know that the woman his grandson had chosen to marry was Mu Chenyan! The Mu Family was already at the door, and due to the rtionship between the two families back then, it was inappropriate for Old Mistress to force her wishes. So long as Yuan Xuan liked, it did not matter whether she was in favor or not. No one had expected such a terrible thing to happenter on! Even if it was now determined that Qinger was not murdered by Mu Chenyan, there was still the issue about the child Qinger was pregnant with. Yuan Xuan neither admitted nor denied, but if it had really belonged to Yuan Xuan, then that child would have been the Yuan Familys third generation and Old Mistress great-grandchild? If it was not for Mu Chenyan, Qinger would have married into the Yuan Family because of that child, and there would not be the case involving a corpse and two lives then? Shu Qinger, after all, was brought up in the Yuan Family since she was little, so in her heart, Old Mistress Yuan still favored her more. But Qinger died, and Old Mistress was so grieved that she had fallen sick a few times! Mu Chenyan was in prison for two years, and due to all kinds of embroilments, the Mu Family had copsed. That was not all. In the outside world, there was even a saying going around that Yuan Xuan was ungrateful, stepping on his own father-inw and bringing them down to doom! The Yuan Family, who ced the utmost importance in honor and family prestige, had a poor repute in Luo Hai for some time because of the Mu Familys incident. It was just that everyone did not dare to talk about it openly. Old Mistress Yuan was full of resentment and was unable to vent it out. After all, the people of the Mu Family were either dead or wounded, and their only heir had gone missing. The pent-up emotions had caused Old Mistress Yuan to sustain internal injuries. Seeing Mu Chenyan appearing before her eyes now, how could shee to like her immediately? It was said that there was no reason to hate someone, but Old Mistress Yuan had lots of reasons to hate Chenyan... Mu Chenyan had noprehension of all these internal entanglements. She was just naively loving Yuan Xuan, following him all around, and never abandoning him, but todays result was something she had never expected! ... Yuan Xuan apanied Old Mistress toasting around, but his eyes would constantly nce Mu Chenyans direction. Seeing Mu Chenyan together with Wen Ya, with her cheeks bulging chewing her food like a little squirrel, he quietly sighed in his heart, Was this woman that fond of eating even back then? Or did that the two years of prison life had caused her to suffer so much that she now has a glutton for food? Yuan Xuans absent-minded look was noticed by Grandmother, she did not feel good about it but did not voice out. Everyone has a selfish side! Yuan Xuan was single-handedly brought up by Old Mistress. In a sense, she treated Yuan Xuan more like her own child, and he was the mental sustenance that the deceased Yuan Tangbai had left for Old Mistress! Now that the child had grown up, and by calction, he had been in dispute with Grandmother twice because of Mu Chenyan! Chapter 60 - Simply Matchmade

Chapter 60: Simply Matchmade

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The first time was when Mu Chenyan was taken away by the police. In order to protect the Yuan Familys reputation, the Yuan Familys elders wanted to break off the engagement, and this had enraged Yuan Xuan. His two uncles and cousin brothers did not dare to offend this little overlord, so they engaged Old Mistress for the matter, but they did not expect that Yuan Xuan would not yield and had a manner of granting death to all who stood in his way! The autocratic Old Mistress felt like she was looking at a stranger, the grandson whom she had personally brought up, having a fall out with her all because of a woman! It was that time onwards that Old Mistress Yuanpletely disliked Mu Chenyan. Again, today at the banquet, Yuan Xuan protected the woman openly and discreetly, forgetting his Grandmother after marrying a wife... Xuaner, after the banquet is over, have all the children of the Yuan Family to stay back, and lets have tea together! Yuan Xuan knew that Grandmother was still unhappy about the incident earlier on, so his attitude now was very humble. He tugged Grandmothers hand and said, Alright. We havent eaten together for quite some time indeed. I should have visited Grandmother at the Upper Mansionst weekend too. Ran Ran will only be hereter. She has to take care of something in school, so shell bete. Yuan Zhe applied a leave of absence for his sister. Among the two girls in the Yuan Family, Grandmother favored Yuan Ran more. She was pretty and had a sweet mouth. Skillful in talking, she delighted Old Mistress, and sopared to Yuan Tian, Yuan Ran was favored a little more. Yuan Zhuan was aware that he was the only one present from the third sons side. His sister, Yuan Tian, had followed their parents to attend a conference. Although Grandmother was understanding, this was, after all, a family banquet. Yuan Tangshuos family really had no excuse to be absent, causing Second Young Master, Yuan Zhuan, to be so scared that he did not dare to make a sound. Old Mistress looked at the periphery and said to Yuan Xuan, Later, have thatd from the Shao Family to stay back as well. He seem to have a steady nature, and his looks are very charming too. Ran Ran is not that young anymore, and since both of their backgrounds are rather simr, Id like to introduce them to each other. For the elders, it had be a habit for them to simply matchmake... Yuan Xuan cast a meaningful gaze at Shao Yibai. This fellow mentioned that Grandmother had arranged something for me. The way I see it, its you who will be having a hard time saving yourself, eh? Yuan Xuan thought quietly in his mind. The bevy of young girls approaching Shao Yibai had never stopped. Toasting one another, this man who was talking cheerfully and wittily, would make eye contact with Yuan Xuan from time to time as if he was asking, Mr Yuan, hows my charisma? This handsome and chic man had be the target of all the socialites and young girls at the banquet. His poprity seemingly overshadowed Wu Ze. Aside from the few excellent married men, this kind of suitable-for-marriage young meat was promised to be popr wherever they went! In fact, Wu Ze, on the other side, was not in a favorable situation as well. There would constantly be peopleing up to him to have small talk with him. Wu Ze was not an aloof man, but as he was not in a good mood this evening. He gave a cold face to the girls clustering around him and ignored all of them. ... After a while, Chenyan changed into afortable evening dress and stepped back out. She was wearing a cherry pink short dress, and itplemented her fair and tender skin extremely well. The back of her dress was a thinyer of chiffon with sparkling diamond chips sewn on it. She looked extremely enchanting, even though she stayed quiet and said nothing, she still became the focus in the entire hall. When she and Wen Ya appeared, everyones gaze was attracted by the Yuan Familys third missus. Even Wen Ya, who was by her side, had paled into insignificance... Yuan Xuan saw that she was no longer having the earlier looks of being wronged, and his heart felt at ease. Striding over, he embraced her. After a while, when no one was noticing, he lightly pecked her forehead and gently whispered, You didnt want to be conspicuous tonight, but you have identally be the most beautiful one! Mu Chenyan was startled, and she nced around, afraid that someone had seen that and felt exceedingly shy. How could Yuan Xuan made such an intimate move in public? Mu Chenyans Three Worldviews (TN: a Chinese termprising a persons conception of the world, the outlook of life, and values) was secretly renewed! Her impression of Yuan Xuan had always to be a man to be observed from afar and not to be touched. It had always been her who had taken the initiative, shamelessly pestering the other despite never getting an affirmative response. But now, Yuan Xuan was taking the initiative to express his affections to her. Mu Chenyan was not ustomed to it at all... Chapter 61 - Youve Got No Respect for Your Brother

Chapter 61: Youve Got No Respect for Your Brother

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Old Mistress saw the interaction between the two. She nced at Yuan Xuan and sighed quietly. This grandson of mine has really been bewitched by this woman, Mu Chenyan! Not to mention being all lovey-dovey in the public, they even disregard me! Yuan Tian is not here. If she was here, seeing that she and that woman are close to each other and will be together a lot in the future, that would really be wreaking havoc and bringing chaos to the Yuan Family! Old Mistress Yuans overactive mental and psychological thoughts coupled with the long period of socializing soon tired her out. Yuan Zhe and Yuan Zhuan hurriedly helped Grandmother to sit down and rest by the side. ... Each guest was here for their own agenda. Some were taking the opportunity to get close to Yuan Tangzhong, speaking in official terms about their political career and trying to strike up an acquaintance with him so that in the future, they could acquire this bigshots assistance in Luo Hai. Some, on the other hand, were taking advantage of this opportunity to approach the three young masters of the Yuan Family and fawn over them. Throughout the ttery speech, Yuan Zhe continuously disyed a polite and satisfied smile on his face. However, Yuan Xuan was as always, alienating and indifferent. These youngds were younger than him. Although they were not that mature in age,ing from aristocratic families, they had learned well the ssic ability to trim ones sail to the wind. Yuan Xuan cast his mind back to the time when he returned from Ennd. What he did was simply leveraged on his fathers contacts andwork, and so he had a better headstart when starting up his business. However, thetter part of his business expansion was all attained through his own effort! Inspections at the mines site, geological surveys, and buyout bids; he had been working day and night, sometimes so busy till he did not even had time for a sip of water, but not once did he resort to any short-cuts in building his business. Even in the aspect of socialworking, he held firm to his own principles. He would not speak any words of adtion, let alone give praises that were contrary to his convictions. He had managed to break new grounds with his outstanding ability and his resolute way of doing things. If he was not capable, should he find shelter under a powerhouse and take short-cuts? No, he would not resort to that at all! On asions such as the current one, listening to all the exaggerating praises from his peers was rather annoying to Yuan Xuan, so naturally, there was no expression on his face. His eyes were only affixed on his wife, who was as beautiful as a flower... As Wu Ze had not left, when Mu Chenyan was conversing intimately with Wen Ya. Wu Ze would constantly circle around like a ferocious beast guarding its prey, and this caused Yuan Xuan to feel uneasy. Two prodigal sons noticed that no matter how they ttered Yuan Xuan, he would not respond positively at all and did not even bother to give a smile. Following Yuan Xuans gaze, their focus shifted and moved onto Mu Chenyan. Young Master Yuans really blessed. The Mu Familys young miss is no less beautiful than back then... Thats right. I thinkpared to two or three years ago, Miss Chenyans countenance seems even better. The Yuan Familys feng shui is really favorable for ones well-being. The two were out of words and were simply looking for a conversation topic. Yuan Xuans face darkened as he sneered ironically. Mu Chenyan had only been staying with the Yuan Family for about ten days. How could there be the saying of good countenance? These mediocre people were unaware of the sufferings she had experienced in prison, and only kept ingratiating themselves. This irritated Yuan Xuan! I think Master Zheng and Young Master Qian should head back now. Both of you are already drunk and spouting nonsense. It wouldnt be a good thing if you make a fool of yourselvester. Yuan Xuan unceremoniously asked them to leave, his dark and deep gaze showed no trace of warmth. The two gentlemen were so shocked that they dared not say another word and hid in a corner dejectedly. Yuan Zhuan saw how cold-hearted his younger brother was from the side, and he could not help tough out loud. Yuan Xuan rolled his eyes and said, Did Second Brother forget to take your medicine before leaving the house? Yuan Zhuan was honest by nature. From young, he had been no match for Yuan Xuan in arguments. After growing up, although he was also in the business field, he still could notpete against Yuan Xuan. As he had lost out in terms of bearing, hecked the confidence to speak out as well. Huh, youve got no respect for your brother! Upon saying that, the cultured Yuan Zhuan went to Old Mistress side, leaving Yuan Xuan the back of aining figure... Chapter 62 - She Had Surely Gone Slightly Overboard!

Chapter 62: She Had Surely Gone Slightly Overboard!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After 8 pm, many of the guests bade their farewells, and the men went to see them off. The daughters-inw of the Yuan Family and a few young people who had close rtions with the Yuan Family stayed back. They circled Old Mistress and chatted about their family matters, no longer the civilities in official settings. Wu ze sat at the corner of the table, his handsome face had a faint, gloomy expression of sorrow and loss. He had wanted to find an opportunity to have a chat with Chenyan. After all, Yuan Xuan had previously mentioned that Chenyan was abused in prison. Recalling the many times they had met in prison but with her not mentioning a word about it, he felt an exceedingly intense restlessness and guilt. However, observing the equivocal between Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan in the hall, he dared not step forward at all. He was able to help Mu Chenyan in the past, but now, he had no more reason to do so. ... Yuan Xuan brought Mu Chenyan over to sit beside Grandmother. He was worried that Chenyan would resist doing so after suffering the grievances earlier on. However, he did not expect Mu Chenyan to be calm andposed, with a faint smile on her slightly pink face. She was not resistant at all as he expected her to be. Yuan Xuan was relieved, and he went to send off the guests. After a while, Yuan Ran came back from school, still dressed in her casual clothes. She had casually tied her hair into a bun, her clean and beautiful face like that of a young girl was captivating. The Yuan Familys genes were exceptional; the males were unusually cool and serious, while the females were pretty and cute. Elegant and generous all the fine words were convened on her. Yuan Ran was truly one of the top four socialites and was indeed worthy of the title! She was rtively close to Mu Chenyan, but not as close as Yuan Tian and Mu Chenyan were. Spotting Mu Chenyan, Yuan Ran nodded at her as a form of greeting to her. She noticed that Yuan Xuan was not by the side, and she directly sat between Grandmother and Mu Chenyan! It was as if it did not matter to her that there was now an additional sister-inw in the family. She had surely gone slightly overboard. Mu Chenyan did not take the matter to heart but got up and moved a little to the side. Yuan Ran had always been proud, and now that the Yuan Family was in the limelight, it was normal to have some attitude as the famous socialite in Luo Hai. Seeing that Yuan Ran was back, Grandmothers tone was rebuking yet loving. Silly girl, are you really that busy? You dont even know how to change your clothes when attending a banquet. Grandmother, as you know, Ill be graduating very soon, and I have an internship report to write, so dont me me. Yuan Ran was acting coquettishly as she moved closer to Old Mistress. Her slender and petite figure exuded a fragrance unique to a young girl, and Grandmothers gaze on her softened a great deal. Old Mistress seemed to remember something, and she turned around and said to Shao Yibai, Yibai, I think you shoulde and sit next to me. Old Mistress intention was to have Shao Yibai sit beside Yuan Ran and use the opportunity to matchmake... Next to Old Mistress were Yuan Ran and Wen Ya. As such, Mu Chenyan had to move further outward. Chenyan had returned for a number of days, but she did not have the opportunity to speak to Old Mistress. Yuan Xuans intention was to have the both of them get acquainted. However, no one expected Grandmother to directly push her third granddaughter-inw out... Mu Chenyan did not mind at all and remained calm like water. She gently said, Im going to thedies room. Mr Shao, doe and have a chat with Grandmother. Shao Yibai had no other way. The handsome and elegant man winked at Mu Chenyan and quietly replied, Thank you, sister-inw! Wu Ze, who was at the same table, saw that Mu Chenyan was being squeezed out and left quietly. He was not happy about it, so he also got up in the pretext of going to the toilet and followed after her. Mu Chenyan was in the toilet for some time, her expression seemed to be in a daze. Her family had bereaved, and does her staying in the Yuan Family considered as depending on others for a living? Moreover, she should thank the Yuan Family for putting her in the current state she was in now... If she had a choice, how would she be willing to appear here and be humiliated by others? Her stay here was merely Yuan Xuans wishful thinking! The people of the Yuan Family had only put on a show as if they were doing a charity. How ironic! Chapter 63 - Maybe I Was Destined to Go Through This Misfortune in Life

Chapter 63: Maybe I Was Destined to Go Through This Misfortune in Life

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan looked into the mirror and smiled pitifully at herself. In the semi-retro design hotel, the corridor was installed with copper wallmps with exquisite carvings. When pale yellow light from the warm color frosted light bulbs shone, the fine Renaissance-themed mural along the corridor looked even more exquisite. When Mu Chenyan came out from the toilet, at the side of the corridor that was mottled with pale yellow light, she saw the dark face of a man with wreaths of smoke swirling around him. Big Brother Wu? Mu Chenyan called out. She did not know that Wu Ze smoked. This man usually appeared refined and gentle as the luster of jade, but in court, he was resolute and domineering, constantly defeating his opponent that thetter could not even fight back! If it was not for Mu Chenyans case, Wu Zes career might have been known for never losing awsuit... Now, under the wreaths of smog, he seemed to have an added touch of a ruffians charm. Chenyan, lets have a chat! Wu Ze looked at Mu Chenyan as he sincerely invited her. Mu Chenyan was stunned for a while. She did not know the reason Wu Ze suddenly became mellow. Recalling the moment when Yuan Xuan had secretly felt jealous at the banquet because of the rose, she drew back a little. Observing Mu Chenyans hesitation, Wu Ze let out augh. He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can at the side and strode toward Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan subconsciously took a step back. Big Brother Wu, if youve got anything to say, we can talkter... The light here was dim, most suitable for equivocal moments... Her previous meetings with Wu Ze was conducted either across the ss window or in court. She had never made contact with him at such a close distance, and she was not mentally prepared to do so yet. Why didnt you tell me? Why did you hide it from me? Wu Zes tone was somewhat heavy. He stopped in his tracks with a meter of distance from Mu Chenyan. The heavy smell of wine mixed with the faint aftershave on the man assailed her nostrils. Mu Chenyan froze on the spot and had not grasped what Wu Ze was mad about. In prison, there were people abusing you. Why didnt you tell me earlier? I wouldnt have let you stayed in there... Wu Zes repressed roar echoed in the corridor. If the guests had not left and were walking about here, it would be difficult to not misunderstood him seeing him in this manner now! Mu Chenyan felt a little nervous. Her eyes reddened and she said very quietly, Big Brother Wu, no matter what, I thank you a lot! Its all in the past now, and it wasnt something you can control. Havent you constantly been doing your best and dutifully defending me? I... Wu Ze wanted to say something, but the words were stuck, and he was unable to speak. Wu Ze wanted to tell her that if he had done his best, with his ability, the case would not have dragged on so for so long, and she would not have suffered an unrighted wrong in vain for two years! But he could not do it. If he admitted to that, this was equivalent to admitting his hypocrisy and deceit, which was also the same as putting himself on moral trial and burning himself! His ever-victorious career as awyer would also lose its meaning. The one in prison should have been him... Chenyan... Im really sorry! Wu Ze lowered his head suddenly and ced his hand on the mural that was full of intricate carvings. The extremely handsome and charming man was at this time like a defeated hero, miserably dispirited. Big Brother Wu, dont me yourself. The one who put me in prison wasnt you. The ones who abused me werent you as well. I did not believe in fate before, but now I do. Maybe I was destined to go through this misfortune in life. Am I not well and standing in front of you now? Mu Chenyans gentle tone felt as if spring breeze across Wu Zes heart. Chapter 64 - He Was Innocent and Was Someone to Be Treated Kindly

Chapter 64: He Was Innocent and Was Someone to Be Treated Kindly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze lifted his head and gazed at the woman who was as radiant and beautiful as ever in front of him. His voice quivered slightly, but there were some things he could not talk about. Chenyan, Yuan Family is not the ce for you... Big Brother Wu, Yuan Xuan and I are married! Mu Chenyan agitatedly interrupted Wu Ze. She knew that he had noticed the Yuan Familys hostility, and perhaps after tonight, all the prestigious and aristocratic families in Luo Hai would know that the Yuan Familys Third Young Mistress was not doted on... Even if Yuan Xuan could protect her for a moment, he could not protect her forever! Moreover, Yuan Xuan was not a lifesaver to her! Back then, he had chosen to be indifferent to her suffering. He had secretly allowed it all to happen and even personally orchestrated it. Being subjected to grievances and ousted by the Yuan Family today should not even bepared to those afflictions? Nheless, words of advice to leave should not havee from Yuan Xuans buddy. After all, Wu Ze was just a bystander. He was innocent and was someone to be treated kindly. Even if Yuan Xuan was his buddy, he would stille to no good end offending him. Mu Chenyan would not want to incriminate others... I know how to handle my affairs well. Brother Wu, I appreciate your kindness. Mu Chenyans tone was polite but alienated. Her attitude pained Wu Ze, but he had no outlet to vent it out. He watched Mu Chenyan closely. This womans determined gaze defeated him. Mu Ze lowered his voice and sincerely said, The Mu Family are now in ruins, and there are only very few people you can rely on. If you ever need any help, I hope youd think of me first... Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Her delicate, small face pink was like a blossoming peach, her clear onyx eyes looked misty. Her voice was a little choked, but she tried to maintain her calmness. Thank you, Big Brother Wu. I dont me you at all, but I truly thank you from the depth of my heart! If it wasnt for your apaniment and encouragement during those two years, I suppose you wont be seeing the Mu Chenyan whos standing in front of you now. Now that Ive been released from prison, please allow me to make my own decision on how to proceed. Rest assured, if I have any difficulties in the future, Ill still treat you as my brother... Wu Zes eyes reddened. He managed a smile and nodded. Reaching into his pocket, he took out a business card and passed it to Mu Chenyan, If theres anything, feel free to call me. Mu Chenyan looked at that golden card glittering under the light. She was slow to react and did not move. I think Young Master Wus business card should just be passed to me. Yuan Xuans tall figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, and his hand reached out to take away the card from Wu Zes hand. Mu Chenyan did not react in time, and she was embraced by Yuan Xuan in his arms. Yuan Xuans strength was shockingly strong as if he was going to snap her thin waist, causing Mu Chenyan to breathe in difficulty. Yuan Xuan, let go... she muttered in a low voice. Mu Chenyan was obviously hurt. Her small hands struggled for a while, but the other party was indifferent, and the oppressive exploitation irritated her very much! When Wu Ze saw Yuan Xuan appearing, he was shocked by his overpowering attitude. Seeing Mu Chenyans face flushing red, Wu Zes repressed and deep voice sounded, Yuan Xuan, you shouldnt be treating Chenyan like this... Shes my wife! Is Young Master Wu teaching me how to treat my wife? Yuan Xuans deep and narrow phoenix-like eyes darkened. His gaze was like a ferocious beast about to make an attack, tearing its prey into pieces the very next second... Mu Chenyan was afraid that Yuan Xuan would be angry with him and quickly said to Wu Ze, Big Brother Wu, just go. You cant do anything about this. Wu Ze, did you hear that? This is something between us husband and wife. Even if youre my brother, you should steer clear of ambiguity! Understand? Yuan Xuans tone was very light. No expression could be seen on his handsome face under the re of the light in the corridor, but the oppressive aura was in no way reduced. Underneath the peaceful and quiet appearance was probably surges of tidal waves... Chapter 65 - 150 Seconds of Staring into Each Other

Chapter 65: 150 Seconds of Staring into Each Other

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze was triggered by Yuan Xuans words, the veins on his handsome face were seen bulging. Even the intelligent and eloquent topwyer of Luo Hai was lost for words at this time! He was too familiar with this brother of his, who was strong-headed and proud but was also one who distinguished clearly between kindness and hatred. He was sure to repay people for their kindness and take revenge against those who had wronged him. Back then when they were overseas, he had taken two bullets for him and had his life hanging by a thread, the domineering man had knelt at the entrance of the operation room and waited for him to safelye out... When those culprits were captured after the incident, the raging Yuan Familys Third Young Master made them suffer through hell... They were brothers who would die for each other, so how could they now turn into enemies? As Wu Ze turned around to leave, he gave Mu Chenyan a deep and meaningful gaze. ... The dark corridor was left with only two people. Yuan Xuans expression was still calm, his phoenix-shaped eyes shining and dimming intermittently as they sized up Mu Chenyans expressionless face over and over again. Both of them stayed silent, neither wanted to speak first. It was 150 seconds of staring into each other! Go! Yuan Xuan suddenly tugged Mu Chenyan heavily and walked toward the elevator. The people in the banquet hall had not dispersed yet, and low conversing voices would travel out from the inside from time to time. Earlier on, Mu Chenyan used the excuse of going to thedies, so she did not know what made Yuan Xuan so mad that he was forcefully bringing her away. Where are you taking me? Chenyans fair and tender wrist turned red from his brutal force, and the severe pain made her used her other hand to hit Yuan Xuan. Amidst the pushing and shoving, Mu Chenyan was dragged by Yuan Xuan to the hotel entrance. Yan Jun was waiting there with the Rolls-Royce. Clearly, Yan Jun did not expect Yuan Xuan toe out this early. He was just habitually waiting as per order. Seeing Yuan Xuan pulling his wife angrily, Yan Jun was shocked and hurriedly got down to open the car door. Yuan Xuan shoved her into the car and could not care less about her resistance! The oppressive dark figure of the man overshadowed the petite woman. Mu Chenyan stared at Yuan Xuan with her big ck eyes, not understanding what was he so enraged about. Back to Hibiscus Garden! Yuan Xuans hoarse voice traveled through the interior of the car. Yan Juns expression was grim. Provoking the CEO to this state would result in either ones death or one getting severely hurt. He began to pray for the well-being of Young Mistress in his heart. Mu Chenyan was trembling from anger, and she did not want to talk to Yuan Xuan at all. Im not a pet that you can caress and call out adoringly whenever you like it but treat roughly when youre not in the mood... The car sped on the highway, and inside the car was dead silence. Each of them had their own thoughts in their mind, and no one wanted to break the silence. The drive, which normally took 30 minutes, waspleted by Yan Jun in only 20 minutes. This top assistant was definitely not stupid. Hurriedly leaving this oppressive atmosphere would enable him to live a few more years! ncing at the couple who were still annoyed with each other, Yan Jun recited Amitabha in his heart that Young Mistress would be sensible and that this malevolent mans explosive anger would be tamed... Get out of the car! Yuan Xuans demanding tone was really irking her. Mu Chenyan clearly could not ept it. It was just a moment of hesitation, and the mans strong and firm steel-like wrist was almost tearing her arm off! She was in intense pain, but she held it in and made no sound. Mu Chenyan responded to the mans brutality with silence and an angry re. Ah Fu also did not expect Young Master and the mistress to return this early. She hurriedly helped Yuan Xuan took off his jacket. Seeing the Masters gloomy face, the girl shuddered in fear. Ah Fu, fill the bathtub! I want to take a bath! Mu Chenyan headed to the second floor on her own, leaving the raging beast behind. In the bathroom, a water mist was fogging up and bing denser. Mu Chenyan sat in the water and eventually figured out the source of Yuan Xuans anger. This man had probably listened to what Feng Rao said and after spotting her talking with Wu Ze in the corridor, he had be intensely jealous! What a petty man! I havent even ask you whos the father of that dead fetus, and youre minding my business? She sneered ironically. Mu Chenyan tugged the bathrobe from the shelf and wrapped it tightly around her body. Chapter 66 - Youve Showered for Two Hours

Chapter 66: Youve Showered for Two Hours

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Thete autumn chill blew towards Mu Chenyan slowly. She shuddered a little and tightened the bathrobe around her even more. She stepped out of the bathroom and her frail body was surrounded by warmth. The man had an aura of a sweet red wine aroma mixed with hormones. He dominantly and forcefully took away her breath... Finally youre willing toe out? Yuan Xuan lowered his tone and said into her ears in an unusually hoarse voice... Yuan Xuan hugged her from behind and said softly with aining tone, Youve showered for more than two hours! ! She raised her head, saw a few wine bottles and two crystal clear wine sses scattered on the wooden coffee table at the corner of the bedroom! This man who valued time greatly actually sat there and waited two hours for her? As he was sipping on red wine, he was savoring the taste of loneliness and solitude? ? Since Yuan Xuan drank wine, his body was getting a little heavy as he embraced her in his arms. Probably because quite some time had passed by, the agitated and angry aura from just now had subsided after a long period of sedimentation. His voice also became softer, Come and drink with me! Mu Chenyan stood still without moving, and her stiff body gradually became colder in his arms. Yuan Xuan knew that this woman was having thoughts of disobeying him and she would not give in that easily. The wicked man tugged on the corners of her bathrobe and walked forward slowly. Mu Chenyan was afraid that if she did not move, her thin bathrobe would be pulled off and she was not wearing anything underneath it... She followed him and sat on the wooden sofa with fabric cushions. However, the wronged look on her face was extremely obvious! Yuan Xuan poured two sses of wine. He handed one to her and held the other in his hand. A smile curled up at the corners of his elegant yet devilish lips. Then, a cold and enchanting voice was heard, Be obedient, drink it! Mu Chenyan had already been humiliated at the dinner. Right now, her greatest retaliation would be her silence. When others bully her, she would not resist and even smiled it off. That was because those people were not dear to her heart and the pain that they caused was only superficial. But this man in front of her was different! If he were to strike the right chord, the pain that he caused would prate deep into her bones... Previously, she was foolish and did not know when to take the initiative and hence she used to suffer so much. Now, however, she did not want to tolerate anymore! Theres nothing between Wu Ze and me. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and said coldly. I was taken away on my wedding night two years ago because of you. I spent the past two years in prison and didnt have the chance to betray you. If Wu Ze were to contact me, it was all because of the case! Mu Chenyan exined anxiously as she was afraid that Yuan Xuan would me Wu Ze. An extremely light smile appeared at the corners of Yuan Xuans lips and he ced the wine ss on the table. He suddenly pulled her from the sofa and into his arms and said in a low voice, I didnt say that you betrayed me! I just want you to drink with me, mm? Hisst word ended on a higher tone, sounding extremely hoarse and sexy! The hormonal aura from the man was getting heavier. After staying with him for the past few days, Mu Chenyan recognized that this was a dangerous aura! She was too afraid to move as sitting on top of this man was no better than sitting on a ticking time bomb! Seeing that she was still she was still hesitating, Yuan Xuan picked up the wine ss and took a small sip. He then held her head, aimed at her pink lips and pressed his lips against hers... Mm... cough cough cough... Mu Chenyan was triggered by the alcohol that he forced into her mouth and started coughing. Right after she calmed down, there was a continuous second and third time... This red wine came from Yuan Xuans private wine cer. Each bottle was nicely aged and some could no longer be found in the market. Thus, it was needless to discuss the purity and taste of the wine. Mu Chenyan was forced to gulp down two full sses of wine and she soon felt drunk! She felt a little humiliated and wanted to retaliate. But Yuan Xuan held her hands and warned domineeringly, The more you resist, the more you would need to drink. So, you have to be obedient, okay? Mu Chenyan was so upset that her chest was heaving up and down from her heavy breathing. She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and said in a light tone, What do you want? I want to have a few drinks with my wife! The unreasonable stance that Yuan Xuan had on right now caused Mu Chenyan to soften up... Chapter 67 - Be Obedient And Take Off Your Bathrobe By Yourself..

Chapter 67: Be Obedient And Take Off Your Bathrobe By Yourself...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He continued to feed her with this method, but the period of time that their lips stayed entangled was getting longer each time. It was up until the two tongues were not able to be separated. He held her head, deepened the kiss and hisrge hands started moving relentlessly. He reached into her bathrobe, the rough sensation caused her entire body to tremble... Her delicate body was being teased beyond endurance and her body temperature started rising under his fingertips. Due to the added effect of alcohol, she wriggled around restlessly in his arms and moaned softly. Do you want it? Yuan Xuan said in a low devilish voice! Mu Chenyan shook her head and pleaded softly, Quick... stop it... Yuan Xuan became even more wicked. His relentless hands continued and tears started to form in Mu Chenyans eyes. She herself could not even control the sobbing sound in her voice, but it sounded like an ambiguous invitation! Yuan Xuan had a pleased look on his face as he was able to control this woman. He then asked in a low and enchanting tone, Be obedient and take off your bathrobe by yourself... ... Everything that happened after that had been sorted out. Mu Chenyan was pushed against the wall while he ravaged her over and over again! It was one of the positions that most men would want to try! This man with strong arms seemed to be absolutely delighted with this position! Only after Mu Chenyan could no longer support herself and had to lean her tender body on his shoulders and pleaded to him that he finally moved to the bed. She did not know how many times did they do it in one night. Every time she regained consciousness, she would face his excessive face... She knew that he was physically strong, but she did not know his limits. It seemed like he never knew what is fatigue... His desires finally subsided when the sun was about to rise. Mu Chenyan was so tired that she could not even open her eyes. But she could not sleep well because her body was aching too much. To be precise, her back was in a burning pain! Although the wallpaper of the bedroom was of good quality, a huge red mark still appeared on her delicate back from the intense friction. The beautiful woman who was in a semi-conscious stateid on the bed breathing softly. There was a deep bite mark on her shoulder. Yuan Xuan got some ointment and applied it onto her back. His slender long fingers gently swept across Mu Chenyans smooth skin. The cooling effect of the green-colored ointment caused the woman on the bed to moan infort. After he finished applying the ointment, he got onto the bed and hugged Mu Chenyan from behind. His warm and wide embrace enticed her to arch towards him like a cat and purredfortably... ... On the second day, Mu Chenyan woke up particrly early. Her waist was sore and her back was still hurting after being ravaged excessively. She gradually recalled what they didst night, especially the part where Yuan Xuan said those embarrassing words into her ears. Mu Chenyan felt that she could no longer face this man calmly. She got out of bed, quickly freshened up and escaped from this space where he was at. Right when Mu Chenyan was leaving, Yuan Xuan sat up in bed. He smiled lightly as he watched her tiptoed and left the room sneakily. Seeing Mu Chenyaning down from the stairs, Ah Fu rushed over and asked, Young Mistress, what do you want to eat? Ah Fu will cook for you! Mu Chenyan smiled when saw the kind-hearted girls innocent face, Its still early and the Young Master is not up yet. Ill make breakfast together with you, okay? Ah Fu froze for a while and suddenly understood what her master said. She hurriedly waved her hands and muttered, That wont do, that wont do. Young Mistress is a noble and your hands are too precious for this, how could I? Mu Chenyan smiled. She was indeed a noble in the past, but not entirely. Her mother Yan Mei had high expectations of her, so they often worked on food recipes together in the Mu Family. Chapter 68 - Allergic To Milk

Chapter 68: Allergic To Milk

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Yuan Family was overly strict with the hierarchy system. Since Ah Fus ancestors also worked as helpers of the Yuan Family, she was naturally aware of this social system. Mu Chenyan smiled when she saw Ah Fus reaction, Dont be so nervous, I just want to make some food for the Young Master personally! This reason was sufficient and Ah Fu was relieved. She nodded her head and answered, Then Young Mistress can cook and Ill help you. Although Ah Fu was young, she was a fast and tidy worker. Mu Chenyan prepared the ingredients and Ah Fu cleaned and cut the vegetables carefully. After Ah Fu was done, she waited for Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan tied an apron around her and rolled up her sleeves casually. Then, she started cooking and bustling in the small kitchen. Yuan Xuan was raised in the country, but he spent most of his youth abroad. Thus, Mu Chenyan prepared both Chinese and Western cuisines. She took into ount each vor from both cuisines and spent more than an hour bustling in the kitchen. Yuan Xuan came downstairs after he changed his clothes. His white shirt was spotless and his very well-ironed custom-made trousers wrapped around his long legs as he walked down the stairs. He was fixing his cufflinks as he walked. When he saw a glimpse of the slender figure bustling in the kitchen, he was stunned, then he smiled lightly. Yuan Xuan was walking towards the table right when Mu Chenyan and Ah Fu was cing the dishes on the dining table. The handsome man squinted his slender long eyes and stared at the extremely obedient woman. She was like a little housewife with an apron around her waist as she bustled around todle a bowl of porridge for him. Why didnt you prepare milk? Yuan Xuan looked at the fragrant porridge and asked deliberately. There was a devilishly charming smile on his indescribably handsome face. Ah Fu did not know why did the Young Master ask such a random question, but Mu Chenyan understood. She blushed and did not want to answer him out of frustration because this awful man had other intentions! During their intimate moments together, he hadpared his semen to milk... Ah Fu did not understand the meaning of it, so she quickly exined, I told Young Mistress that Young Master is allergic to milk... Yeah! Someone is allergic to my milk too! Her entire body was trembling... He continued to talk about the topic of milk and Mu Chenyan felt so embarrassed that she was having difficulty in breathing. She wanted to hide in a hole! The way Mu Chenyan tried to cover up her expression made Yuan Xuan realized that she understood the hidden meaning in his words. The man who prevailed instantly felt his mood got better! He pulled out the chair and sat down. This was Mu Chenyans first time observing Yuan Xuan this attentively. She did not think that this handsome man could be this elegant even when he ate breakfast! Food seemed to have turned into a piece of art in his hands. He even needed to cut the fried egg into a perfect shape before putting it into his mouth... Mu Chenyan observed silently at the side and recalled how she was obsessed with him in the past. She used to pester him into having meals with her and he would pay every single time even though she was always the only one eating. He would sit there and watch her eat with a cold look on his face. When she thought about it now, Yuan Xuan never really ate in front of her! Ever since she returned, she often woke upte. Each time she walked out of the bedroom, Yuan Xuan had already eaten breakfast and gone to work. Now, she realized that eating breakfast with him was actually not that bad... Yuan Xuan finished eating and wiped his mouth with a paper towel elegantly. When he saw Mu Chenyan staring at him, he could not help butughed, Whats wrong? Is it difficult to resist looking at such a handsome husband? Such a narcissistic... Mu Chenyan adverted her gaze and said softly, Someone is hopelessly thick-skinned! Yuan Xuan heard her sarcasm and mockery, but he was not mad. Instead, he found it fascinating. When they forgot all about those unspeakable hatreds, their interaction seemed like a flirting and teasing couple. Ah Fu handed Yuan Xuan his tie and suit. Mu Chenyan quickly reached out her hands to receive it and help Yuan Xuan with his tie. Chapter 69 - Tell Me, What Do You Want?

Chapter 69: Tell Me, What Do You Want?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan intertwined the tie and was tying it attentively. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and looked down at her. From his point of view, her long battingshes seemed to be stroking his heart! Mu Chenyan had a faint body scent mixed with the smell of shampoo and it was an unavoidable temptation to Yuan Xuan... He suddenly put his hands around her tiny waist, made her leaned closer to his chest and caressed her tiny ear with his other hand. I really like this pair of obedient ears and I especially love to tell them a good story! Ugh... There was no end to it for this wicked man! Mu Chenyan fixed both of her hands on his shoulder and bit her lips very bashfully. That was because whenever they were in bed, he would whisper embarrassing words into her ears when he ravaged her fiercely. That was what he meant by telling stories into her ears... Yuan Xuan saw her bright red face and he thought of an idea to tease her. He then ordered with a low voice, Im about to leave for work, give me a goodbye kiss! Mu Chenyan was surprised and when she thought about it, she had never taken the initiative to show him any affection. For that moment of hesitation, Yuan Xuan pretended to sound a little angry, If you want me to take the lead... Mu Chenyan was frightened, so she hurriedly tiptoed and put her hands around his neck. She knew that if he were to take the initiative, he might not go to work today! Yuan Xuan smiled in his heart seeing how scared she was. Then, he deliberately put on an arrogant look on his face while he waited for her to take the initiative. Mu Chenyan clearly did not have experience in taking the lead as she thought that a light peck on Yuan Xuans chin was sufficient. However, she did not expect Yuan Xuan to strengthen his grip around her waist and said in dissatisfaction, You call that a kiss? Then... then what do you want? Mu Chenyan was a little annoyed. She saw some stubbles on Yuan Xuans sexy chin and she considered kissing him there as making an effort. At the very least, her lips were a little numb from the stubbles! Why was it not considered a kiss? When Mu Chenyan saw the smile on Yuan Xuans face, she turned her face and did not know where to look! Start over again! Yuan Xuan seemed to have an unreasonable look on his face. Mu Chenyan had no choice but to tiptoe and put her hands around his neck once again. She moved her slightly opened mouth close to his lips and stuck her gentle tongue out like how he did usually... Mu Chenyans small movement triggered an explosion in someones mind! The kiss progressed from a shallow kiss to an overbearingly deep kiss. Mu Chenyan felt her lips being gnawed apart by him! She groaned softly in retaliation. Even though her little hands were ice-cold, her palms were sweaty. By the time Yuan Xuan finally let Mu Chenyan go, her tiny face was already purplish-red from holding her breath in for too long. Tell me, what do you want? Yuan Xuans eyes were slightly cold as he lowered his head to look at the woman who was catching her breath. Suddenly, he held her chin and asked in a low voice. Youve made breakfast and took the initiative to kiss me. You definitely have some other intention. Yuan Xuans tone was unusually calm and his slender dark eyes were fathomless. He had a look on his face which seemed as though he had seen through everything. However, he did not expose her and waited for her to admit it! When he spoiled this woman excessively, she did not even show half of the affection that she had shown today. When they were both together, he was always the one who took the initiative. Now that Mu Chenyan tried so hard to please him, she definitely had an intention! Mu Chenyan was embarrassed from being exposed and she hid from his burning gaze. After she calmed down and took a breath, she said in a hoarse low voice, I want to get Wu Zes name card back! ... Mu Chenyan could not even believe how lucky she was when she was holding the gold-ted name card. Yuan Xuan actually gave it to her. Nheless, that domineering mans words echoed in her ears, You cant escape from me, dont even think about it! Mu Chenyan smiled mockingly. Chapter 70 - What Does It Make Her?

Chapter 70: What Does It Make Her?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan and her love seemed to have never been on the same channel! Previously when she was chasing after him, he avoided her and was very annoyed. However, now he was obsessively overprotective of her and ravaged her fiercely in bed, not allowing her to even be a little unfaithful to him. ... Mu Chenyan kept the name card and thought of something uneasy. The Old Mistress would definitely be very unhappy because Yuan Xuan brought her back halfway through the banquet. Offending the Old Mistress was equivalent to digging ones own grave in the Yuan Family. Yu Lingyun was right, Yuan Xuan might be protecting her now, but it did not mean that he would do so forever! Moreover, she was still in the Yuan Family. As long as she did not leave this ce, she must not offend the Old Mistress! Mu Chenyan thought about it and decided to wait for Yuan Xuan to return from work and go to the Upper Mansion together to apologize. After all, Yuan Xuan was the one who started it, so where could he hide? Mu Chenyan moved theputer to the little garden on the third floor. She was isted from the world for more than two years and it had been a while. She was afraid that there was nothing left of her other than her beauty! The constantly evolving world would not allow her to remain calm andposed. She wanted to blend into the society quickly, so she went on the inte to get to know more about the outside world. It was better than being trapped in this huge mansion and turn into someone elses pet! Mu Chenyan had always been intelligent. Even the leaders and lecturers from her course were sorry that she did not continue her studies in Ennd. Those years, she only had love in her heart and she was ridiculously persistent! Nevertheless, she came to her senses now. There were many more important things and many more ways to live in this world. Love can be important, but it must not be the sole purpose of her life! Mu Chenyan registered an ount online and was nning to write a novel about the journey of her life. She graduated from journalism, so writing was her strong trait! Right now, her priority was to make up for the sses that she missed during the past two years as soon as possible. Fortunately, she was still young and was also a fast learner. During the few days when she was back, she spent all her free time reading books and searching for information. She wanted to get to know about the Yuan Family and find out the truth that she neglected all these years. Within Luo Hai City, few of the sessful aristocratic families were being led by the Yuan Family. Moreover, Luo Hai City was the center to the areas surrounding the city. Thus, it could be said that the Yuan Family possessed half of Country Zs power. Moreover, the Yuan Family had the Capital Citys Shao Family as an alliance. It seemed like the Old Mistress intended to bring Yuan Ran and Shao Yibai together. With this marriage, the Yuan Familys influence would expand extensively. Such a piece of news spread like wildfire during the two years that she disappeared. The inte was filled with overwhelming praises and of course, doubts. Whenbining politics and business, the correct sequence was to have politics before business. However, as the head of the Luo Hai City, the Yuan Family seemed to be a little entric. Yuan Tangzhong was the one who was active on the political scene, whereas Yuan Xuan was the powerful figure in business. Nevertheless, most of the decisions were still decided by Yuan Xuan openly and discreetly. Some of the smarter inte users would have noticed that something was off. An inte user with the username A Flying Fish Riding a Bicycle wrote an article entitled Even though obscure words were used in the article, it was obvious that the discussion was about the Yuan Family. The title of the article was also very open-ended. It provided a tform for everyone to express their views freely. Mu Chenyan browsed through the post and she was truly impressed by such a talented person hidden among the public. The essence of the Yuan Familys problem was Yuan Tangzhongs awkward situation. When she thought about the spections on Yuan Xuans background carefully, it was truly well-grounded and reasoned. Mu Chenyan sunk deep into the chair and pondered deeply. Spections and ideas were forming inside her head! She never paid attention to the rtionship between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family previously. Nheless, now it seemed like there was indeed a cooperative win-win rtionship between Yuan Tangzhong and Mu Feng. Mu Feng was Yuan Tangzhongs right-hand man in the business industry. Yuan Xuan ruining the Mu Family was equivalent to destroying Yuan Tangzhongs path. When Mu Chenyan thought about these, she could not help but shudder. If her spection was true, what does that make her? Did Yuan Xuan approach the Mu Family just to eradicate the Mu Familys stepping stone? When she thought about it further, the Mu Familys only sessor Mu Chenwu was still missing. She was probably still of some use to him! Since her mother and herself were both in Yuan Xuans hand, he was not afraid that Mu Chenwu might not return. This also exined the reason why Yuan Xuan was still keeping her by his side! It was extremely terrifying when she thought about it thoroughly! ! Chapter 71 - Freeing Oneself at Any Time

Chapter 71: Freeing Oneself at Any Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan threaded further into the realm of her own imagination. This woman who had a load on her mind could not even eat her lunch now! Ah Fu became very anxious seeing Mu Chenyans current state. Before Young Master left this morning, both of them were still getting on well. Their intimacy made other people envious as Mu Chenyan had even made breakfast for Young Master. It went without saying that her lively and spirited appearance was extremely charming. So why did the Young Mistresss mood returned to a dull state after this morning? Ah Fu discreetly gave a call to Young Master. The girl did not say much but simply mentioned that Young Mistress had not eaten her lunch. Yuan Xuan was having apany meeting when he received Ah Fus phone call. He quietly asked her a few questions before hanging up. While he stood inside the spacious office on the highest floor of the building that housed the Zhong Heng International Corporation, Yuan Xuan pondered as his dark cold gaze stared into the distance. He had never admitted that Mu Chenyan was his weakness but reality would not allow him to deny this any longer. The changes in her emotions and her every move would affect his judgment and decision-making. Thus, he left her in prison for two years and did not even visit her once before he took action against the Mu Family. His animosity towards Wu Ze was also tinged with remorse. After all, he had personally sent Wu Ze to protect Mu Chenyan. ... Yan Jun knocked the door and entered before he quietly reported to Yuan Xuan and said, Young Master, Ive found the people that you asked me to find and after interrogation, they fully confessed to abusing Young Mistress! When do you want to punish them? A ruthless and tyrannical look seeped through Yuan Xuans dark gaze. After a moment of contemtion, he grunted and slowly said, In a few days, bring along Young Mistress. Naturally, Mu Chenyan would need to personally deal with this group who had tortured her because only then could her internal rage be extinguished. Also, the clues that were leading us towards Mu Chenwu have been cut off because he was too cunning. He managed to cast off our people before he escaped again! Yan Juns voice was filled with regret as he apologized for his own setbacks. You cant catch him so easily. Keep a close monitor on the movements at Luo Hais borders and send more people to the hospital to keep an eye on Mistress Yan. Dont give him an opportunity toe into contact with Chenyan! Yuan Xuan coldly said. Yan Jun nodded and exited the room. Yuan Xuan noted that it was still early but he kept his things and prepared to return home because he was worried about the woman! ... Instead of Yuan Xuan, Ah Fu received Fifth Miss arrival instead. Yuan Tian loudlyined that she was terribly thirsty the moment she entered. Mu Chenyan quickly instructed Ah Fu to prepare tea before the both of them went to the terrace on the third floor together to enjoy themselves. Chenyan, you dont know that the ce called Tai Chuan is simply a deste and barren area! Theres only a little town thats dozens of kilometers away! Those old schrs were simply insensitive to choose to have a meeting there. However, if theyd decided to have it in Maldives, I wouldntin even if they made me stay there for a month... Yuan Tian grumbled while drinking. After attending a three-day seminar in Tai Chuan and being stuck in a vast and remote mountain area with a hignd climate during those days, she had turned a shade darker from being suntanned. However, she had never been very fair skinned from the start... Among the youngdies of the aristocratic families who were as fair as jade, Yuan Tian had relied on her healthy wheat-coloredplexion to bravely carve out her own path. Her skin tone was truly a beautiful and healthy tanned shade that was even sought out by the Victorias Secret Angels! Moreover, Yuan Tians beauty was already unique and possessed a certain aggressive nature. Her body proportions did not even need to be mentioned as one look of her baby face on its own made it obvious that she was a beauty who was carefully sculpted by God. Mu Chenyan felt that Yuan Tians beauty was slightly more exceptional inparison to Yuan Ran because it could be imprinted in the minds of others with a single nce. However, Yuan Tian was not an ordinary high society socialite. In a nutshell, the main reason for this was because she was easily susceptible to breaking free as she pleased... Yuan Tian was also a unique individual in a household with strict domestic rules and clear rankings like the Yuan Family. Aside from her fear of Yuan Xuan, the Fifth Miss was perhaps the only person who did not care about any of the family rules or other peoples opinions. She could free herself any time... Chapter 72 - You Have Really Caused a Lot of Trouble

Chapter 72: You Have Really Caused a Lot of Trouble

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The current situation could be used as an example. 1 As she drunk the tea that Mu Chenyan had made, Yuan Tians small bare feet were already ced on the table! She managed to visit the highest floor of this little building, something that she could rarely do on a normal basis. Moreover, when she saw that Yuan Xuan was not at home, this girl was beside herself with joy. She wore a pair of sky blue-colored jeans and a cropped top that revealed her navel and showing off her taut and firm belly. She had probably already heard about the incident where Mu Chenyan personally exposed Feng Rao during the banquet. She quickly spat out some words and said, Feng Rao that little slut! The next time I see that little slut Feng Rao, Im gonna beat her and her older brother up! Mu Chenyan was stunned. For a while, she could notprehend why and how Feng Raos brother was also involved in this. Seeing Mu Chenyan shocked, Yuan Tian bashfully smiled and exined, A short while before you returned, Feng Zhi and his gang of scoundrels were drinking in a bar. When they saw me and a few of my colleagues there, they dared to lustfully catcall me! Ptooey... The mouthful of tea that Mu Chenyan had yet to swallow ended up sputtering across her entire body! She coughed whileughing as her tears continuously flowed out. Yuan Tian had learned mixed martial arts when she was eight years old and would be sent to the army to participate in summer training camps during her summer vacation every year... One could only imagine how terrible Feng Zhis fate would be! Id merely served him a few flying kicks but that jerk was so weak. Two of his rib bones broke and he even said that he had a concussion from getting kicked! Yuan Tian said in a slightly annoyed manner. We sent him to my dads hospital where they saved him but my dad was so mad that he wanted to punch me... Yuan Tians tone softened. Yuan Tian was clearly somewhat dejected while her big ck eyes were filled with grief. My dad has always been like this! Ever since I was young, hes always said that Im unlike the other members of the Yuan Family because Im always impulsive! My grandmother especially has always treated me as aplete eyesore... Well, you did really cause a lot of trouble! Mu Chenyan said while gently smiling. Inparison to Yu Lingyun, Feng Rao, and the others, Yuan Tian was too frank with her true feelings. Thats why they sent me to the army when they couldnt control me anymore. They used the pretense of training but in reality, they were hoping that I would experience some hardships and change my ways. When the time came, I would also be a socialite just like Yuan Ran! Yuan Tianined in a dissatisfied manner and angrily said, I dont care whether Im a socialite or not! Ill be free and happilyfortable even if I remain unmarried for the rest of my life! Mu Chenyan was overjoyed when she heard this. Youre nning to live your life as a spinster? You dont know how many of Luo Hais men will die from sadness because of that! Furthermore, your brothers wont willingly allow you to spend your entire life sponging off the Yuan Family. When she heard Mu Chenyan making fun of her, Yuan Tian foolishly smiled and said, Even if I were to find a husband, Id have to look for one like Brother Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan smiled while shaking her head. This girl still had a childlike temperament at the end of the day. Unfortunately, your brother is already taken. Yuan Xuan had coincidentally overheard his younger cousin talking about him when he reached the foot of the stairs. This man has a noble nature and an extraordinary bearing. Thus, it was no surprise that even his sister would feel that her future husband should be this type of man. Yuan Tian was so shocked that she immediately jumped and leaped off the chair while her feet were still bare... Third Brother, you... Why is it that you dont make any noise when you walk... You scared me to death... Yuan Tian stuttered. However, Mu Chenyan could not understand why Yuan Tian was so scared of that man. Yuan Xuans expression was indifferent as he ignored his sister and immediately rushed to Mu Chenyan and held her in his arms. He used a rebuking tone and asked her, Why didnt you eat properly in the afternoon? Yourplexion recently became somewhat rosy again so why are you doing this now? Hmm? Yuan Tian rolled her eyes as she was caught off-guard by this unexpected public disy of affection! Chapter 73 - The Second Instance of a Public Display of Affection

Chapter 73: The Second Instance of a Public Disy of Affection

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion From Mu Chenyans sight of view, she could see Yuan Tian pretending to be choking, rolling her eyes, sticking her tongue out, making ugly faces, rolling about, stomping her feet, and thumping her chest because of the public disy of affection... She was already embarrassed when this was done in private but now that Yuan Xuan was acting like this in front of his own cousin sister, she was mortified! I... Im not that hungry... I was waiting for you toe home so that we could eat together! Mu Chenyans face blushed fiercely red while she mumbled as her brain had already turned to mush. Oh? Is my wife saying that she cant eat if she doesnt see me? In that case, would it be better if I came home to have lunch with you instead of eating at work in the afternoon? When the young and handsome heir of the Yuan Family acted like this and humbled himself to spoil his wife despite his noble status, it was enough to bring someone to their knees. Mu Chenyan was terribly shocked by this side of Yuan Xuan! Meanwhile, Yuan Xuans second instance of a public disy of affection turned Yuan Tian into aplete mess behind him again. Brother, you never bothered to mind the feelings of a single person like me engaging in this public disy of affection... After tossing about for a while, Yuan Tian barely abled to restrain herself and quietlyining. Didnt you say that youd be free and happilyfortable even if you remained unmarried for the rest of your life? However, it seems like youre having a hard time now after witnessing other peoples public disys of affection now. Yuan Xuan coldly said before a frosty re that was as sharp as a de shed across his dark almond-shaped eyes andpletely shot Yuan Tian down. Her brother had suddenly turned hostile too quickly. What kind of person would treat his wife so tenderly but turn around and shoot a death re at his sister? Seeing the girl pouted her lips unhappily and looked as though she was about to cry, Mu Chenyan discreetly pinched Yuan Xuans arm. Hmph! You only know how to start fights all the time. If we could just solve problems with our fists, why would we need our brains? I have a hundred different ways of destroying the Feng Family but Ive never had to even think of using my fists! Yuan Xuan turned around while coldly chiding Yuan Tian. This man whose height was already an obvious advantage now acted in a cold manner as he arrogantly looked down. The oppressive feeling from the innate noble aura that he gave off was terribly frightening. One could well imagine how terrified his opponents would be when this man was striving for something on the market. The girl lowered her head even further while her little hands were twisted in a knot. She sounded as if she was in a tight spot when she whispered, I used my legs, not my fists... Yuan Xuans expression worsened before he angrily rebuked her and said, How many times have I pleaded for leniency on your behalf in front of Grandmother? If it werent for me, youd still be stuck in the army now. If you keep stirring up trouble, I think that you shouldnt even hope to return anymore! Yuan Tians tears were rolling about in her eyes now. Mu Chenyans heart ached when she saw this. This girl sincerely worshiped her brother but Yuan Xuan was not being sensitive to her feelings at all. It was not surprising that she was so terribly scared of Yuan Xuan. Even if that b*stard Feng Zhi revealed your identity as one of the youngdies of the Yuan Family, his scoundrels would never dare to touch a single hair on your head. Why did you have to kick him and make a scene only for half of Luo Hais residents to discover that the Yuan Familys Fifth Miss fought someone in a bar and up-skirted herself, exposing the ckce panties she wore underneath?! Huh? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan could no longer restrain herself before augh escaped her lips. Yuan Tian had only told her that she had hit Feng Zhi and angered her father. However, she had not recounted the events with such detail. Seeing Mu Chenyan reveling in her misfortune, Yuan Tian truly felt as if she was going to die when her brother had bluntly revealed this humiliating incident of hers. Her little face sobbed while she rushed over to Yuan Xuan and said, Id only drank a little bit of your tea, ate some of your fruits, and put my feet on your table! Did you really have to publicly expose my embarrassing moment? Hmph... Chapter 74 - It Looked Like This Girl Was Not Stupid

Chapter 74: It Looked Like This Girl Was Not Stupid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan momentarily red at her before he continued coldly, Yuan Ran isnt even a year older than you but Old Mistress has already arranged a marriage for her. Im afraid that youre next, so you should do as you see fit. If you kick up a fuss, beware that our grandmother might send you to the frontier and arrange a marriage alliance between you and a foreigner. It just so happens that youll make a little contribution for Country Z and its borders. Yuan Tian cried out before she covered her mouth in shock. Her big ck eyes looked at Yuan Xuan in disbelief but it seemed as though the things he said were about to turn into reality soon! In her heart, Mu Chenyan felt anxious and appalled as well! There were previous instances of this indeed. The ancient borders of Country Z had been unstable for many years and they had previously used the method of arranged marriages with the youngdies of the aristocratic families to solve the problem of unrest. However, these were matters that were done during their ancestors time. Were they still being used now? Both of the young women were suddenly shocked. They were not worried about being sent off to their arranged marriages like the ancient princesses. On the contrary, they were worried that Old Mistress would actually marry Yuan Tian off to a random family. What would she do then? Brother, I know that you love me the most in this house! You have to say many good things on my behalf in front of our grandmother. I dont want to marry a hairy foreigner... Yuan Tian resembled a little squirrel when she sped her small hands in front and gestured in a praying motion. Yuan Tian was not mistaken. Indeed, Yuan Xuan was the person who protected her the most in this house. Even her own brother Yuan Zhuan had never been so tolerant or considerate towards his little sister. Yuan Zhuan was naturally cowardly and behaved in a somewhat stiff manner. He never dared to object to his grandmother. Since he was never brave enough to intercede for Yuan Tian every time his younger sister got into an argument, Yuan Xuan would have to boldly step forward instead. As Yuan Xuan was favored by Old Mistress and could even make his grandmother happy in a roundabout way, he was naturally able to help Yuan Tian a bit more. It looked like this girl was not stupid because she could read other peoples true thoughts. Yuan Xuan sighed and advised Yuan Tian, Dont stir up any trouble now and stoping here all the time. Old Mistress is worried that you two sisters-inw will turn the Yuan Family upside down when you hang out together! When Mu Chenyan heard this, her heart became extremely uneasy as she recalled the discrimination that she faced during the previous days banquet. Yuan Tian sneaked a nce at Mu Chenyan and unhappilyined, Ill bear the brunt of my own problems without involving Chenyan... Im not worried about you involving her but since Chenyan has recently returned, itd be better for her not to make our grandmother angry! Yuan Xuan exined while suppressing his temper. He was speaking the truth! At least he had already experienced itst night. Mu Chenyan gently smiled and reached her hand out to take the watering can on the side. She watered the Hope Bamboo Basket with some rainwater that was prepared earlier before she sighed and said, This flower never belonged here. Despite how well I care for it, it can never beat itspanions that remained in the ce where it should have grown... Yuan Xuan could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind her words. He faintly lowered his gaze as a sense of uneasiness secretly surged in his heart. ... After Yuan Xuan had chased Yuan Tian away, he forced Mu Chenyan to eat numerous things before the both of them prepared to go to Upper Mansion to visit his grandmother. Mu Chenyan had visited the Yuan Family Mansion many times but the number of asions when she stepped foot in Upper Mansion were extremely limited. Moreover, she was always apanied by her father during these rare asions when he came to visit Old Mistress during the new year. That time, Mu Chenyan was a cheerful and lively girl who was as cute as a little rabbit... Old Mistress had also treated her in a respectful manner before Mu Feng and she was not stingy with herpliments for Mu Chenyan. Thus, she felt that Upper Mansion was as magnificent as a pce at that time and did not feel oppressed at all. However, returning to this ce today, Mu Chenyan felt truly repulsed towards everything around her... The three floors from the top to the bottom of the old mansion were constructed in apact manner. There were two halls on the first floor and therger front hall was the one that Old Master had used to entertain visitors or important guests when he was still alive. After Old Master died, the front hall essentially became a ce where Grandmother would think of Grandfather on her own. It was no longer open to anyone else after that. On the side was a smaller hall that was half of the front halls size. The light gold wallpaper reflected a warm and gentle presence. The antique racks on both sides were arranged with some of Old Masters porcin and jade items that he had collected in his youth. Coming here now, her feelings werepletely different from those of the past. Chapter 75 - Clearly Filled with Jealousy

Chapter 75: Clearly Filled with Jealousy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan followed Yuan Xuan into the side room where his grandmother was happily chatting to a few people including Yuan Tangzhong and his wife Xue Meiwei, Yuan Tangshuos wife Lu Shan, Yuan Zhe, and his wife. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness that first stirred in the pit of her stomach before traveling to the tips of her toes. This anxiety caused her to freeze in ce as she became too afraid to move forward... When Wen Ya saw that Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan had arrived, she waved and greeted Chenyan. Simrly, when Yuan Zhe who was beside her then spotted them, a warm smile spread across his lips. Mu Chenyan had already met with the other elders when she attended the banquet. However, since Lu Shan had not attended the banquet, she pointed at Mu Chenyan and remarked, Tian Tian told me that she had already rushed over to visit you multiple times since your return, Chenyan. Girl, you mustve suffered while you were there! Lu Shan treated Mu Chenyan as if she were Yuan Tian and spoke to her in a loving tone. Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of her own mother. She was an elegant and gorgeous woman who had always been very affectionate as well. Im fine, Third Aunt, is all in the past. How are you? Mu Chenyans gentle tone and obedient manner made her the type of good daughter-inw that elders liked. Morever, Mu Chenyans eyes were now filled with tenderness, unlike when she was dull and indifferent with Yuan Xuan. The corners of Yuan Xuans mouth curled into a faint smile when he watched this woman from the side. Lu Shan smiled and replied, Im fine. Seeing you return has delighted your aunts heart because Tian Tian finally has a friend again. You have to teach her well C that girls unruliness is too hard to manage. Itd be good enough for her to pick up on even half of your personality. When Yuan Tian heard her mother humiliate her in this manner, she unhappily scoffed twice. However, glimmers of joy appeared in her eyes as she sneakily grinned at Mu Chenyan. Old Mistress Yuan remained silent all this while. After the several people wrapped up their small talk, the side hall descended into silence. Yuan Xuan stepped forward and held his grandmothers hand before he quietly spoke, Little Xuan drank a bit too much duringst nights banquet. I asked Chenyan to apany me home, but forgot to inform Grandmother before I left. Youre not upset with Little Xuan, right? When this handsome man behaved like a spoiled child, it was sickeningly sweet! Mu Chenyan mocked him in her heart. He had clearly been filled with jealousy at the time, but instead med it on the alcohol... Old Mistress feigned anger and replied, Dont let it happen again. There are no benefits to drinking excessive amounts of alcohol! Yuan Xuan nodded continuously as she jokingly scolded him. At this moment, Yuan Zhuan and his little sister Yuan Ran were also present, causing the side hall to immediately be lively. Mu Chenyan looked over and wondered to himself if all of the heads of the Yuan Family had been called over, regardless of their ranking. Was a major announcement about to be made? When Old Mistress saw that everyone besides the bookworm, Yuan Tangshuo was present and ounted for, she instructed Butler Fu to serve everyone their tea. Then, she cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, I called everyone over because I have two things to say. Yuan Ran blushed before sneakily ncing at her grandmother, clearly unable to suppress her excitement. Little Ran isnt young anymore, and as a youngdy of an aristocratic family, she should have found and decided on a marriage partner. During yesterdays banquet, I noticed that she seemed like a good match with the Shao Familys son. Thus, both of them should spend some time with each other, and well see how things go from there. Little Xuan, since youre closer to Yibai, Ill hand this matter over to you and let you contact him. Yuan Xuan nodded, fully aware that his grandmother intended to control Shao Yibai. However, the main issue now was with regards to Shao Yibais side. He was afraid that they would not ept an arranged marriage from their family so easily. Nheless, Yuan Xuan nodded in agreement. When Yuan Ran saw her brother nodding, she gave a sigh of relief. One could easily tell that she was satisfied with Shao Yibai in numerous ways... Yuan Tian who stood by the side secretly stuck her tongue out and rolled her eyes at Yuan Ran. Nearby, Mu Chenyan read Yuan Tians lips and saw her say, All her life, she was just hoping to get married to a good man and just be done with it... Mu Chenyan lowered her head and stifled a smallugh. Yuan Tians current temperament made it difficult for her to imagine how stern she needed to be when she held the scalpel and stood before her patients. On the other hand, Old Mistresspletely ignored Yuan Tians weird behavior. She nced at Yuan Xuan before looking at Mu Chenyan and continued saying, Theres one more thing. Id like to introduce this child to everyone... Butler Fu heard this and went upstairs for a brief moment before leisurelying down with a girl in tow. When he did this, everyone other than Yuan Xuan inhaled a breath of air while Wen Ya and Yuan Ran simultaneously eximed, Qinger! Chapter 76 - Back from the Dead

Chapter 76: Back from the Dead

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The woman standing before them was Shu Qinger, there was no doubt about it! Pictures of the bloody scene slowly shed into the heads of the people looking at the graceful and delicate woman standing in front of them... Everyone present knew Shu Qinger, so it was not surprising that Wen Ya and Yuan Ran would scream her name out of shock. Yuan Tian herself was a doctor, so she had a certainposure when faced with sudden emergencies. She coldly eyed Shu Qinger and wondered about the purpose of her sudden appearance. She was back from the dead, but what was she trying to pull? Mu Chenyans entire body went cold as her arms started shuddering uncontrobly. Unlike Wen Ya and Yuan Ran, it was not due to the fear of seeing someone back from the dead, but it was due to shbacks of the past two years as well as all the suffering and misfortunes she had endured that came as a result of her rtion to this woman! Because of her death, Mu Chenyan had been wrongly imprisoned for two years, and the Mu Family was broken up... However, Shu Qinger was now standing in front of her in perfect condition; her eyes were vibrant and her posture rxed, with a sweet and innocent smile on her face. Yuan Tangzhong was someone of a high position, hence he was much more level-headed. He tugged at his mistress sleeves and shook his head, signalling for her to not to say a word. However, Yuan Zhe, who stood on the other side, was not so calm. He was the first to speak out, his voice quivering as if he had just seen a ghost, Grandmother, what... whats going on... Old Mistress Yuan did not immediately reply. Instead, she observed everyones reaction before locking her sights on Mu Chenyan. After seeing Old Mistress staring at her, Mu Chenyan suddenly understood where the feeling of uneasiness hade from when she had first stepped foot into this side hall. All the things that had been unfolding here had probably been specially arranged by Old Mistress for her... Meanwhile, Yuan Xuans sharp gaze was fixed on Shu Qinger, and he slowly remarked, Shes not Qinger. Qingers dead. After saying this, he embraced Mu Chenyan. His broad shoulders were like a wall protecting her as his warm and dry hands clutched her trembling hands. Everyone looked at each other as they could not help but specte inwardly. It was obvious to all that this girl was Shu Qinger, but after hearing what Yuan Xuan had said, they became confused. Furthermoe, upon hearing Yuan Xuans statement, the one who was most surprised was none other than Mu Chenyan! She had thought that Yuan Xuan had a special ce in his heart for Shu Qinger. After all, they were well-known to be childhood sweethearts. Shouldnt he be the happiest upon seeing his dearly beloved back from the dead? However, this mans reaction was overly nd -venomous, even, going so far as to say that this was not Shu Qinger. If that was the case, then who was she? Ruoxin,e here. Let me introduce you to everyone! Having kept everyone in suspense, Old Mistress Yuan finally referred to the girl as Ruoxin! Grandmother... The girl, who was called Ruoxin sweetly responded and approached Old Mistress. Her expression and demeanor were exactly the same as Shu Qinger! Ruoxin swept her gaze across the room before finally stopping on Yuan Xuan. No woman would be able to resist Yuan Xuans charm if they caught sight of him. Moreover, the temperament and aura of this man were not cultivated overnight. Yuan Xuans life was destined to be extraordinary to be lived out under the spotlight, resulting in the the inherently kingly demeanor he carried. Mu Chenyan saw the amazement in Ruoxins eyes when she first locked onto him. After all, appetite and libido are human nature! 1 Yuan Xuans enchanting radiance catching the attention of the opposite sex was not something new to her. This excellent man was destined to be a roaring me that woman would rush head-first into, like moths. Once upon a time, she was one of these moths, Shu Qinger was no different. Now, Ruoxin was probably the same too. Old Mistress Yuan ced her hand on Ruoxins shoulder and began to speak, This girls name is Ruoxin. Shes the younger twin sister of the deceased Qinger. It turns out this had nothing to do with necromancy! The few women, whose face had turned white from shock earlier on let out a long sigh. At the same time, they were curious about this younger twin sister. Chapter 77 - With Regards to the Shu Qinger Incident, Was She Not a Victim?

Chapter 77: With Regards to the Shu Qinger Incident, Was She Not a Victim?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Now, regarding us raising Qinger in the Yuan Family in the past, all of you were only aware of one aspect of it but not the whole story... As Old Mistress Yuan spoke, she motioned at Butler Fu to bring a stool over for Zhao Ruoxin to sit beside her. Among those who were present, the oldest one next to Old Mistress was Yuan Tangzhong. The refined, elegant man pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose and sized up Zhao Ruoxin before asking, Mother, could this child be the one who Zhao Yanni had brought away? The one with heart disease? It looked like Yuan Tangzhong knew about some of the inside stories that the younger generation had no idea of! Old Mistress Yuan nodded, her silver hair glinting in the light. This autocratic woman appeared to be somewhat sorrowful at the moment. She lovingly stroked Zhao Ruoxins hands and continued saying, Qinger and Xiner are twins. Unfortunately, Xiner was born with serious heart disease. The Shu Family back then was a wealthy and influential family. Even though the child had heart disease, getting her treatment was not a big deal. However, Zhao Ruoxin did not appear before the public, which indicated that there had to have been a certain secret in the Shu Family that the public was unaware of. After Zhao Yanni gave birth to the two children, Shu Heng found out that she was having an affair with the family doctor. Old Mistress Yuan casually mentioned it, but these kinds of incidents in prestigious families were horrifically scandalous! Upon discovering this, Shu Heng forced Zhao Yanni out of the house and divorced her without leaving her any possessions. Zhao Yanni was resistant, and she went to the house to causing a scene numerous times with the intention of getting back at least one of her children. Around that time, it was discovered that Shu Xiner was a child with a congenital disorder, hence, the Shu Family agreed for her to take only Xiner away, but Qinger was to remain in the family. And just like that, the twin sisters were broken up to be cared for separately. The childs name was then changed to Zhao Ruoxin. What happened next was already known by both the young and the old of the Yuan Family. The Shu Familys grandmother had been my best friend since I was little. When this incident happened, she was so stressed out that she became psychologically unwell, causing her health to deteriorate day by day. When Qinger was four years old, Shu Heng found new love. He married a new wife and had other children of their own. The Shu Familys grandmother was worried that due to Qingers young age, she would receive lots of unfair treatment in the future. Hence, before she was about to die, she entrusted the child to the Yuan Familys care... Upon mentioning the early death of her dear friend, Old Mistress Yuans face became gloomy and her voice trailed off. Zhao Ruoxin hurriedlyforted her in a low voice, If Grandmothers spirit is in heaven, she wouldnt want to see Grandmother Yuan so sad... The girls obedient voice was pleasant to the ear, and Mu Chenyan fell into a trance for a moment, as if she was listening to the same lovely and cute Shu Qinger from back then... Old Mistress Yuan used her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes and patted Ruoxins small hands, remarking sentimentally, Initially, I was thinking of having here over here after Little Xuans parents had passed away. This was to first, fulfill your grandmothers wish, and second, since Qinger and Little Xuans age were about the same, I figured the two could apany each other as they grow up. Furthermore, if they liked each other, it would also be beneficial for us to be inws. When she mentioned bing rtives through marriage, Mu Chenyan could not help but sneak a peek at Yuan Xuan. This man was still very calm at the moment, as if what Grandmother was talking about had nothing to with him. Who would have thought that such a horrible event would take ceter on? Qingers dead, and with that, Ive regretfully let your grandmother down... Old Mistress gradually became more upset as she spoke, her voice began to shake before she started weeping. The whole family panicked, and everyone rushed tofort her. Zhao Ruoxin also recalled the memories of the past and began to snivel alongside the maternal figure. With that, the side hall burst intomotion! Mother, all this is in the past now. Theres no need for you to be this upset anymore. Yuan Tangzhong consoled. The two inws also spoke words offort, while Wen Ya and Yuan Ran looked each other in the eye, clearly unsure of what to do. This was especially so for Wen Ya, whose face had turned pale... Of the group, only Mu Chenyans expression was ice-cold, as she motionlessly watched the old and young cry together. Even Yuan Xuan, who was by her side, had left to go console Grandmother... However, with regards to the Shu Qinger incident, was she not a victim? Did she not pay a terrible price in exchange for this unrecognized and unblessed marriage? Now, this younger sister, who looked exactly the same as Shu Qinger, was standing before her. It was as if she was staring at her old love rivals reincarnation. Didnt the Heavens have mercy? Chapter 78 - Ruoxin Will Be Staying at My Place

Chapter 78: Ruoxin Will Be Staying at My ce

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Old Mistress Yuan had wept for some time, her mood improved slightly and her tears gradually began to stop flowing under her rtivesforting. Zhao Ruoxin, who was sitting by her side, also quietened down, her tender and amiable expression was really adorable. Mu Chenyan was actually struggling a little, unsure of whether to go forward tofort Grandmother like the rest. She grappled with this question for a brief moment before soundly dismissing it. In this household, the person who had the least right was her. Furthermore, others knew how to console, but she had no idea what to say. Eventually, Old Mistress finally calmed down, but when she looked up and saw Mu Chenyan still standing on the same spot with an indifferent manner, she became angered. From now on, Ruoxin will be staying at my ce, and all of you are to treat her the same as you would Qinger! Old Mistress suddenly ordered as she shot a nce at Mu Chenyan. Everyone present was stunned. Firstly, Zhao Ruoxin was by no means a child, and whether or not it was appropriate for her to stay with the Yuan Family was up for question. Second, and more importantly, her appearance alone, which was exactly the same as Shu Qinger who had died tragically, would cause one to feel exceptionally ufortable! Shu Qinger was once known as Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart. What would outsiders think now that the younger twin sister was recing the older sibling to live in the Yuan Family? Everyones gaze fell upon Yuan Xuan. At this moment, the one feeling most awkward was probably this proud and aloof man! Everyone had thought their loving marriage would be an unshakable matter C it might as well have been carved in stone. In the end, Qinger died tragically, and now, Qingers younger sister was here. Old Mistress Yuans intentions could not be more obvious. However, what would happen to Mu Chenyan? Yuan Xuan was silent, his obsidian pupils so dark and deep that the others could not read his thoughts, his gaze sharp and grim. He was well-known to be cold to those on the outside as well as on the inside, unweing to everyone! Mother, such an act might not be appropriate... Yuan Tangzhong suddenly spoke up. He had just reached a peak in his political career, and the slightest bit of negative opinion on the Yuan Family would affect him greatly. He did not want his nephews love affairs to affect the Yuan Family and his overall interest. Whats there to say about whether its appropriate or not? Old Mistress Yuan was clearly dissatisfied with her sons defiance. When he heard this, Yuan Tangzhong was at a loss for words, and he dared not speak further. Mother, please calm down. If you like this girl, you can have here over whenever you wish. What Tangzhong meant was that the Shu Family is the proper ce for the child to be. If she stays here, how are we to exin the matter to Shu Heng? Xue Meiwei hurriedly tried to calm things down, but clearly siding with her husband. Thats right, Grandmother. Before this, Third Young Master and Qingers rtionship was wildly publicized by the media. If Miss Zhao stays at our ce, people might gossip about... Even Wen Ya, who had always been gentle and considerate, helped her parents-inw oppose Old Mistress. Ruoxin is homeless now. The Yuan Family has wronged her sister, how can we cast her out now in her time of need? After seeing everyone expressing their dissatisfaction despite Yuan Xuan himself not dissaproving, Old Mistress Yuan became so infuriated that she threw the teacup onto the ground! Everyone was shocked and dared not move nor made a sound. They had no idea that Zhao Ruoxin was homeless. Although Luo Hais Shu Family was not as powerful as the Yuan Family, it was also an aristocratic household, and Zhao Ruoxin was, after all, the Shu Familys very own flesh and blood. When Zhao Ruoxin saw that everyone was opposing her integration into the household, she began to snivel. She sobbed and tried her best to control her breathing as she said, Grandmother, dont get angry because of me. Xiner will move out tomorrow. And dont worry about my mothers medical fees, Ill think of a way. Even though the Shu Family has rejected us, Ill make sure we wont die of hunger on the streets. We cant cause the young and old of the Yuan Family to be in disharmony just because of us. As soon as Zhao Ruoxin started crying, the whole situation became chaotic. Old Mistress Yuans heart trembled as she held her hands. Dont worry, let me first see who has no conscience to dare force you out! Those who had voiced out earlier were on the second sons side, but now they had all been branded by Old Mistress as without a conscience! Lets just do as Grandmother has suggested! Yuan Xuans deep and powerful voice sounded out all of a sudden, causing the chaotic crowd to fall dead silent Grandmother wants to have her stay here, so just let her stay here. The Yuan Family has a vast fortune, and its not as if we cant afford to support a pair of mother and daughter. If we chase them away, wouldnt we be theughing stock of the city? Whats more, the Shu Family has a rtionship with the Yuan Family, and the Shu Familys grandmothers dying request hasnt been fulfilled. Qingers early passing has been causing Old Mistress distress for the longest time now. If Miss Ruoxin stays with us, hopefully Grandmother will findfort in it. Yuan Xuan spoke and nced at Mu Chenyan who was by his side. This woman was currently as calm as water, and her expressionless face showed no hints of what she was thinking. What more, when Yuan Xuan looked at her, a vague smile creeped up from the corners of Mu Chenyans mouth... Chapter 79 - Welcoming a Troublemaker into the House?

Chapter 79: Weing a Troublemaker into the House?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Old Mistress Yuan clearly did not expect Yuan Xuan to agree with her at this moment. She was overjoyed. Little Xuan is the most sensible one. The rest of you, stand aside! Zhao Ruoxin stood up and wiped away her tears. She looked at Yuan Xuan with a delighted expression, her pretty face blushing. Thank you, Brother Xuan! Zhao Ruoxin said cautiously. As she spoke, she cast a nce at Mu Chenyan who was standing by the side. Mu Chenyan ignored the other partys subtle provocation and leaned in closer to Yuan Xuan. However, Yuan Tian, who had been silent all this while, could not hold it in any longer. She saw that Mu Chenyan was acting cowardly and oblivious by not objecting. Wouldnt letting this woman live here be the equivalent of weing a troublemaker into the house? Yuan Tianmented in a low voice, Brother Xuan? Thats an awfully familiar way of addressing him. Are you very close with Third Brother? Zhao Ruoxinsplexion changed, and she ashamedly lowered her head. At the same time, her eyes began to water. Old Mistress Yuan red at Yuan Tian and snarled, Youre speaking out of turn! Yuan Tian refused to back down, and she maintained a polite and humble tone as she spoke, Grandmother, of the three brothers in the Yuan Family, Eldest Brother already has Sister-inw Wen Ya, while Third Brother has Sister-inw Chenyan. You arent thinking of keeping this girl here for Second Brother, are you? Lu Shan was so appalled that she quickly tugged at her daughter. Stop talking nonsense! Yuan Zhuan, who was standing by the side had suddenly been dragged into the crossfire. He was terrified, and he secretly waved his hand at Yuan Tian to stop. Mother, didnt you just hear Grandmother exin that because of the friendship between her and the Shu Familys grandmother, she had Qinger stay at our home with the intention of letting her marry into the Yuan Family? Qinger encountered a tragedyter on, but now theres a recement. Since the other elder brothers are already married, who else can she marry other than Brother Yuan Zhuan? Yuan Tian was outspoken and straightforward. She held nothing back as she immediately cause everyone to feel rather awkward. Lu Shan, on the other hand, was almost about to cry out of embarrassment. You little ancestor, continue spouting nonsense and you will be the death of your father and I! Mother, Im only speaking the truth. Brother Yuan Zhuan already has someone in his heart. Hasnt Nan Sheng gotten your recognition? You cant be asking for Sister-inw Wen Ya and Chenyan to give way to her, right? While speaking, a smirk formed on Yuan Tians face, as if she were saying dream on. Zhao Ruoxin bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry again... In my opinion, since Grandmother remains nostalgic about the old friendship and holds on to her old friends request, and considering the fact that the Yuan Family has a vast fortune, it wont matter if we hold one less property. Wouldnt giving one of the Yuan Familys property to Miss Zhao be a better option? Why must she live in the mansion? Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Tian and suddenly understood the uniqueness of this girl in the familyamid the old and trite family regtions, Yuan Tian was still able to keep her conscience! However, she had forgotten that allowing Zhao Ruoxin to stay here was not only Grandmothers wish, but that Yuan Xuan had also supported the idea. Mu Chenyan knew that Grandmother had her own selfish motives regarding todays arrangement, but Yuan Tian might suffer some form of punishment by exposing her n so brutally. Unexpectedly, however, Old Mistress did not re up but instead merely sighed. The people in the side hall immediately held their breath. Old Mistress Yuan stood up, looked at her children and grandchildren by her side, and said inly, The n Tian Tian has mentioned is not something Ive not considered before. Its just that Ruoxin seeking shelter at the Yuan Family is really because she has exhausted all other options. The ordinary people did not have Yuan Tians courage and were used toplying with whatever Old Mistress said. Even though they might notprehend her thinking, they still would not dare to raise any questions. Seeing that everyone had their doubts and yet were not saying anything, Old Mistress continued. Ruoxin found a suitable heart donor and had just undergone surgery, while Zhao Yanni is mentally deranged and has been admitted to a psychiatric ward. True enough, Zhao Ruoxin began to snivel again. Her eyes were by now slightly red and swollen, causing everyone who looked at her to feel sympathetic. My foster father is a gambler and owed some loan sharks a huge debt. When he realized that the people in the casino had cheated him, he fought with them and beat the people in the casino to death. These peopleter threatened to seek out my mother and I for revenge. We were so scared that we fled from City C back to Luo Hai. As Zhao Ruoxin wept, her small hands continuously wiped her tears away. The area around her eyes were soon smudged with makeup. Chapter 80

Chapter 80: She Did Not Regret Her Decision Back Then, but She Would No Longer Be So Naive in the Future So Easily...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Butler Fu gave Zhao Ruoxin a wet towel to wipe her face. Zhao Ruoxin wept as she continued to say, Wed like to go back to the Shu Family too, but the Shu Family wont forgive my mother nor ept me. Back then, Elder Sister could not remain there because Father had already wed a new wife, so she was sent to the Yuan Family by Grandmother. Now imagine how they would acknowledge me, a child who had never even grown up in the Shu Family... Everyone was lost for words looking at Zhao Ruoxin in such a pitiful state. They would seem inhumane to continue to object. At this moment, Yuan Zhe suddenly popped a question, Didnt Uncle Shu Heng marry the daughter of the Lim Familys Eldest Son? Old Mistress Yuan nodded. He did. The Shu Family is currently in a poor state. Even though Yuan Xuan has provided them financial aid a couple of times, its not a permanent solution. The Lim Family are their inws, but as the Lim Family has been growing stronger these past few years, Uncle Shu Heng doesnt dare do anything to offend them. Then, in my opinion, its reasonable for Miss Zhao to stay here. After all, this was Grandmother Shus request. Yuan Zhe, who had not yet shown his stance, suddenly left his parents side to agree with Grandmother! Yuan Xuan watched his brother, Yuan Zhe, do this and a coy smile appeared on his face. Wen Yasplexion changed as she trembled and tugged at Yuan Zhes sleeve. Yuan Zhe was slightly enraged, and he swiftly flicked her hand away. When Mu Chenyan heard this, she gave Zhao Ruoxin a sympathetic look. The past aside, this woman was now homeless like her, which was why she was willing to lower herself to seek shelter with the powerhouse that was the Yuan Family. However, the difference between them was that Yuan Zhe and Yuan Xuan would care for Miss Ruoxin more. After all, Qinger had grown up with them for so many years, and Qingers death would mean that Zhao Ruoxin would be the new recipient of all their affection. When Grandmother saw that she had gained another supporter and wasforted. She continued to say, Tian Tian suggested to let Ruoxin live in another property outside, but what will I do if those viins sneak into Luo Hai and hurt Ruoxin? Shu Qinger had already met with a tragic ident, if any misfortune falls upon Ruoxin, how will I face Grandmother Shu when I die? Old Mistress words caused everyone to fall silent. Yuan Tian did not speak anymore. She sneaked a peek at Mu Chenyan and used her mouth to mouth out a sentence why dont you say something? Mu Chenyan smiled faintly and shook her head. Yuan Tian was still too naive. Right now, what reason did she have to show her stance? Who knows how Grandmother will react? Perhaps she herself will get kicked out of the house... With that, nobody had any more objections, and the matter was settled. Mu Chenyan did not expect that after going in one big circle, she and the people of the Shu Family would still end up under one roof! Back when she was just ten years old, she had followed her parents back to Luo Hai, and the blur and clueless young girl had fallen headfirst into Yuan Xuans imprable,pletely unable to free herself! It was in that year that Shu Qinger had left the Yuan Family to go study abroad. After this, she did not make any contact with the Yuan Family. Although Mu Chenyan was aware that Shu Qinger had once won the Yuan Familys respect, she did not know about Shu Qingers position and influence in the Yuan Family. While overseas, Shu Qinger would always travel from Italy to Ennd to visit Yuan Xuan. She even came looking for Mu Chenyan to show herself after thetter had confessed her love to Yuan Xuan. It was obvious that this childhood sweetheart was not a simple woman! However, now that Mu Chenyan thought about it, Yuan Xuan himself never seemed to show his attitude toward Shu Qinger in front of her. At the time, she was stubbornly in love, confident and crazy, whilst constantly embracing the viewpoint of me liking you is my business. Hence, whilst pursuing Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan was truly a rash fellow. She did not regret her decision back then, but she would no longer be so naive in the future. Chapter 81 - Severely Entangled

Chapter 81: Severely Entangled

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Mu Chenyan was not happy about Yuan Xuan letting Zhao Ruoxin stay at the Yuan Family Mansion, she did not show her feelings. Back at the Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan sat in the tea room on the first floor and ordered Ah Fu to bring him a bottle of red wine while Mu Chenyan quietly went upstairs to wash up. After a long time, Yuan Xuan headed upstairs and saw Mu Chenyan wearing cream-colored silk pajamas, sitting on the wooden fabric sofa whilst using herptop. The light from theptop screen shone onto her pretty face, making it look as white as jade. Her swan-like neck was as white as snow, and her steady breathing caused her chest to rise and fall rhythmically. She was engrossed with herptop, her slender fingers lightly tapping away at the keyboard, totally unaware of her surroundings. Yuan Xuan leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets. His gaze seemed unconcerned, but his eyes were like a ck hole, where just the slightest glimpse of them might cause one to be endlessly absorbed in them... When Mu Chenyan realized that Yuan Xuan was watching her, she suddenly let go, causing theptop to nearly fall to the floor. She hurriedly closed theptop and put it aside. This high-tension behavior was noticed by Yuan Xuan, but he did nothing but smile lightly. What were you doing online? Yuan Xuan asked. Mu Chenyans ink-ck eyes were clear but mysterious, giving nothing away. After she met Yuan Xuans undisguised gaze, Mu Chenyan lowered her head, bit her lips and said inly, Just buying some stuff. Why dont youe in? Your stare would make any one feel unsettled. Her hair was still wet from the shower as it carried a faint floral aroma. Yuan Xuan strode in and retrieved the hairdryer to blow her hair for her. Her jet-ck hair was short, reaching just below the ears. Yuan Xuans fingers ran through her hair, and he thought to himself about how fast this womans hair was growing. In the past, he had expressed his hope for her to keep her hair long, and she had, in turn, genuinely let her ck hair grow wildly without giving it any attention. In less than a month, her hair had grown luxuriant! Mu Chenyan kept her head down the entire time and simply allow him to do with it as he pleased. Other than this, the two partners had zero social interaction. I owe Qinger a favor, and I wont be able to pay her back this lifetime. Once her hair was dry, Yuan Xuan put the hairdryer aside and suddenly spoke up. He was not someone who kept things to himself. If the matter was something that he could reveal to her, he would do so without any hesitation. Mu Chenyan shuddered and did not look up to look at him but instead kept her head down to stare at his shoes. After some time, she quietly replied, I dont oppose the idea of letting Zhao Ruoxin live here, and you dont owe me any exnation. Just one sentence and the conversation turned awkward. After being talked back to, Yuan Xuans chest swelled with anger. Hemented coldly, You sure arent as obedient as you were this morning. As he spoke, he pulled her up from the sofa and wrapped one arm around her thin waist, and fiercely pinched her chin with the other. Ow! Mu Chenyan was afraid that her jaw would get dislocated, so she dared not move. Dont you care? Yuan Xuan asked. He really wanted to know. Did she still cherish him? Did she still care about him? The two pairs of eyes stared into each other. Mu Chenyan heart was scorched by his fiery gaze. She did not reply, unconsciously lowering her eyes to avoid him. However, Yuan Xuan was determined not to let her have her way! Mu Chenyan, dont try to shake me off! You have to ept the fact that youre Mrs Yuan before I get tired of you! Mu Chenyans body quivered slightly, and she saw the redness and viciousness in his eyes. When she did, it was as if she could see her future where she would be hopelessly entangled this man... She was not willing to resign herself to this fate! Yuan Xuan, please let me go. Let the Mu Family off. Youve got many options in life, but Ive only got one way out! Youre well aware that the two of us could never go back to the way it was in the past. Id like to leave with my mother, find my brother, and live a peaceful life... Mu Chenyans eyes became wet. She finally poured out all the thoughts that she had been suppressing in her heart all this while! Dont even think about it! Youre right in saying that youre only left with a single way out in life. When you chose me 14 years ago, there was no backing down! After hearing that she was actually nning to leave him, Yuan Xuans eyes darkened. He looked so enraged, his stare looked like it was ready to burn a hole in her. Chapter 82 - Butt Spank

Chapter 82: Butt Spank

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When he doted on her, his tone would be exceptionally sweet; when he was angry, it would be as such, where the biting cold aura exuded by him would overwhelm others to the point where they would have difficulty breathing! Thus, Mu Chenyan was well aware that reasoning with him would not work. Alright, I get it. Can Mr Yuan let go of Mrs Yuan now? Mu Chenyan gave a contented smile and impatiently let go of Yuan Xuans hands. The pain around her jaw immediately vanished, causing her to look away, as if she was not willing to see Yuan Xuan anymore. This aloof and insolent manner only further pissed Yuan Xuan off. No woman had ever treated him with such disrespect. Moreover, this woman had been spoiled to the extent of having no restraint! Looks like Ive pampered you too much. Yuan Xuan lowered his voice, but the rage in his heart could not be concealed. He had intended to rify the matter about Zhao Ruoxin, but she had told him very frankly that she did not care about the reason at all! What more, she was thinking of leaving him! ? Mu Chenyan sneered, but was not able to refute. Seems like Ive really spoiled you! Enraged, Yuan Xuan remarked once more. This temper and attitude was bred by you C you should just tolerate it! Mu Chenyan rebutted resentfully. Her small face flushed red, making her look like a little rooster that was ready to battle! The two stared at each other for about a minute. Then, Yuan Xuan suddenly flipped her onto the bed, her petite and delicate body thrown onto the nket. Mu Chenyan let out a cry, and before she could grasp what was going on, she felt a burning pain on her buttocks. This Yuan Xuan had used his hand to smack her buttocks! Mu Chenyan was stunned! Only after she had recovered from the shock did she realize that she had been spanked. She had been spanked like a little child! However, before she could react, she was spanked again, and again... Mu Chenyans skin was normally very tender. As the spanksnded, the numbing pain caused Mu Chenyan to seriously ponder life. After some serious thinking, this woman concluded that she could not tolerate it any more! She jumped up from the bed and grabbed the pillow nearby before proceeding to whack Yuan Xuan with it. You dare to smack me? To actually spank my butt... You... youve got no sense of shame... Mu Chenyan was pissed. Since young, no one had dared hit her in this manner! Even the maniacs in prison had the decency not to hit her in these areas! She could not be bothered about her image anymore, could not be bothered about being aloof, and could not be bothered about the messed-up hatred in her heart. All she wanted to do right now was thrash him to vent her anger! Yuan Xuan used his arms to block her attacks before dully saying, I think you want to get high! After snatching her weapon, he pinned both her and the pillow down on the bed. Yuan Xuans tall and sturdy frame loomed over her, trapping her firmly underneath him. Although the two were separated by a pillow, Mu Chenyan could still feel the heat emanating from his body. She shrunk and hid her head under the pillow, exposing only a pair ofrge eyes that were simultaneously as ck as ink whilst still appearing innocent and pure... She was not aware that this look would arouse the mans lust even more. Yuan Xuans throat suddenly felt dry, and it was as if there was a torrent of mes passing through by his Adams apple. He swallowed his saliva and his Adams apple seductively bounced up and down. When Mu Chenyan saw this, she unconsciously licked her lips. This unwitting move was picked up by Yuan Xuan, and after receiving the signal, the man unceremoniously pressed his lips onto hers. This suffocation instantly caused the woman below to feel uneasy. She twisted her body left and right to avoid him as she tried to breathe, desperate for oxygen... However, every time she pulled back, his tongue would advance an inch further! The pillow between the two could not stop his determined attempts to swallow her whole. Chapter 83 - From Now On, Three Nights per Week and Only Once a Night

Chapter 83: From Now On, Three Nights per Week and Only Once a Night

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion By the time the kiss was over, Mu Chenyan felt as if half-a-century had gone by... She was really terrified of the mes burning in Yuan Xuans eyes! In order to hide her presence further, she decided to hide her head under the pillow. At the end of the day, after cooling down, Mu Chenyan was still a woman who understood the situation. She knew that if she provoked this ferocious beast who was constantly in heat, that she would be the one to suffer in the end! However, she was too naive. The fire that was already burning could not be extinguished so easily! Yuan Xuan suddenly pulled away the pillow that was obstructing him and threw it onto the ground. Now, there was no barrier between the two of them, and though he was supporting himself with his arms, his body was still pressed heavily onto hers. Mu Chenyan let out a groan, she did not know what to do. She pushed her small hands against his chest and hurriedly said, You... havent showered yet... Well shower togetherter. Were gonna be full of sweat after exercising anyway. Yuan Xuans voice was unusually hoarse, and his tone showed that no matter what, this dance of human instinct was going to proceed. Mu Chenyan felt that this time, Yuan Xuan seemed to want it too much. However, since her return, he had almost never stopped firing. Every time, the duration would be so long, to the point where she would feel a pain in her back and cramps in her legs. She could not help but wish that she could pretend to faint and bluff her way through the ordeal... How bout... not... not doing it today? Mu Chenyan had forgotten about the humiliation from the butt spank earlier and thus, softly requested in a desperate tone. She needed a break. Even a wife who was purchased and brought home would surely have a day-off as well, right? How could someone like her be forced to work 8 days out of 10... Im really exhausted... and I havent even had a good rest... Knowing that once he started, it wouldst almost the entire night. Mu Chenyan made onest ditch effort to escape C she was truly fearful! Her legs that could not be closed together even quivered instinctively. Additionally, Mu Chenyans small face revealed a half-pout, making her look very pitiful. Her pleading seemed to be effective as Yuan Xuan soon knitted his brows together, got up from the bed, and snorted, Your fitness is too poor! Yuan Xuan left for the bathroom whilst looking very much insatiable. Mu Chenyan hurriedly turned over and got up. She timidly took a look at the bathroom and thought to herself, One who survives a great disaster is bound to receive good fortune afterward! (TN: a Chinese proverb) Figuring that he would note out too soon, Mu Chenyan opened herptop again and made the payment for the stuff she had ordered before quickly closing theptop so abruptly earlier. The woman who had survived a disaster let out a long sigh and coiled up in the nket, thinking of how to bring up what she nned to do next... After half an hour, Mu Chenyan felt a chill beside her. The cold hand of the man who had just showered reached out to pull her body into his arms. Only when Mu Chenyan came into contact with his cool body did she realized that this man had used cold water to lower his body temperature... Dont do that next time, if you really want... I can try to amodate. Using cold water to lower your temperature will harm your body... Mu Chenyan hesitantly said. Yuan Xuan could see that she was worried about his health and snickered coldly, You shouldve told me earlier! Mu Chenyan suddenly realized that saying all of this was made her seem like a green tea b*tch (TN: a derogatory term referring to seemingly innocent and sweet girls but who are actually pretentious b*tches)... From now on, three nights per week and once a night! Yuan Xuan said all of a sudden. In truth, Yuan Xuan had wanted to tell her once a night for a long time, but he was afraid of frightening her. The mans voice was hoarse and deep, and there was a hint of restraint when he spoke. Mu Chenyan blinked her eyes. Only after a brief pause did she understand that he was talking about the frequency of making love! Damn! She could finally have a break. Then... how bout when my period arrives? She had read in novels that perverted man would fight dauntlessly. She could not even begin to imagine how that scene would be! How long does your period usuallyst? Yuan Xuan asked her seriously. He stared at her soft, pink cheeks and his pupils shimmered slightly. Mu Chenyan was tongue-tied for a moment. Her voice was low and revealed her shyness. Usually, itllst six days... Damn! Would ordinary couples discuss such matters like this? Yuan Xuan, as a young man of an aristocratic family, was usually solemn and abstinent looking. Who knew that he would be such a perverted person in private... Then, well postpone it to the week after, Yuan Xuan thought about it before replying, this weeks loss will bepensated by additional sessions in the following next week! What? Then after the week the period was over, would that not be six times... Mu Chenyan put on a long face and muttered softly, It definitely isnt easy to be Mrs Yuan! Chapter 84 - Previously, He Had Thought that She was Acting Cute

Chapter 84: Previously, He Had Thought that She was Acting Cute

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan snorted before bursting out intoughter. Hisrge hands wrapped around her shoulders, but he dared not be any more intimat out of fear that he would have to take another cold shower to suppress any surging desires. I know that I cant be always be enjoying free meals in the Yuan Family, so Ill contribute as best as I can. Mu Chenyan said while frowning. Some level of self-sacrifice was necessary. Her innocent eyes glimmered, and her small face snuggled closer to Yuan Xuans waist. From Yuan Xuans perspective, she looked so adorable that he wanted to be affectionate with her. Yuan Xuan reached out to pinch her face. I like it when youre obedient. Mu Chenyan continued to blink her big eyes before lightly rubbing her head against his waist. Her cat-like nature was in y! Yuan Xuan did not say anything, but it was apparent that he liked this kind of silent interaction. Mu Chenyan felt that the timing was right, so she quietly asked, How about I go and get a job? Then, I can contribute more to the household... Yuan Xuans expression immediately changed. From the way this woman had been behaving, he had suspected that she carried some underlying motive! Previously, he had thought that she was acting cute, but it seemed that he had underestimated her! Fortunately, he had gotten used to her unpredictability over the past few days. Yuan Xuan purposely did not call her out, but instead asked her in a low voice, You want a job? What can you do? Yuan Xuan was genuinely curious. How would this woman act if she were to leave his sight? You mean you agree? Mu Chenyan was exhrated and tried her best to hide her delight, but joy was written all over her small face. Herrge, ck eyes prompted Yuan Xuan to bite his tongue. When she wore this face, she looked to just like a kitten. Yeah. You can think about what job you want. Maybe I can lend you a hand. Yuan Xuan spoke with sincerity, and this was, of course, the truth. In reality, he had hoped that she would not go out to work, but Mu Chenyan should simrly not grow to be an unlearned and unskilleddy! Her talent meant that she was destined to lead a life that was far from quiet and stable. Although she would intentionally conceal her radiance, there was always this sense of restlessness in her. It was just that sometimes she was not prepared to show it. Hmm... I havent figured it out yet. When I got one in mind, Ill let you know! Mu Chenyan decided to quit while she was ahead. She could not disclose anything yet. At least not before she had settled the matter with Wu Ze C she could not risk having Yuan Xuan meddling in it. Alright then, do as you wish. If you want to go out, go ahead. Yuan Xuan shifted his grip and pulled her even closer. He was like a huge warm furnace. Even after taking a cold shower, he would heat up rapidly, making his smooth skin almost ufortably hot to touch! Mu Chenyan buried her face into his waist and mumbled, Thank you, Brother Xuan... In the days that followed, Yuan Xuan would regrly go to work in the daytime and shower his wife with love at night. Because of her hidden motive, Mu Chenyan activated her obedient-wife-mode once again. Whenever Yuan Xuan indulged himself in the pleasures of the flesh, she would amodate. Even when she was exhausted to death, she would still grit her teeth and satisfy him. After all, there was no task in this world that was notborious. Not to mention,pared to other jobs, apanying a first-rate handsome man to sleep was not a bad task! Yuan Xuan really acted in ordance with the agreement three times per week, no exceptions. The only difference in sessions is that sometimes, it would only happen once, whilst other times it wouldst the whole night... Every time she was feeling worn out with her back aching, dark circles under her eyes, and could not help but wish to sleep in for the entire morning, only to wake up and find Yuan Xuan in a satiated state with his face glowing as he left for work, she would sit on the third floor of the small building and reflect on life... When Zhao Ruoxin moved into the Yuan Family, there was no storm clouds which signalled aing storm. On the contrary, everything was peaceful. In fact, it was overly calm in the Yuan Family! With Ruoxin forpany, Old Mistress mood improved significantly. She was at a great age now, and it was not right for her to owe anyone favors. Since she had liked Qinger in the first ce, and since there was now a substitute here to satisfy Old Mistress psychological needs, none of the family members dared say anything. Chapter 85 - Taking a Cautious Stance Regarding the Sudden Descent of Zhao Ruoxin from the Sky

Chapter 85: Taking a Cautious Stance Regarding the Sudden Descent of Zhao Ruoxin from the Sky

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan was still feeling uneasy, so he sent Yan Jun to City C to investigate. It turned out that it was as what she had imed. Her foster father hadmitted murder due to gambling, and both mother and daughter were hunted down by the enemies. Fortunately, the gambling father still had a conscience. Beforemitting the crime, he had used his identity as a doctor to find a heart donor for Zhao Ruoxin. The family of a young man who was involved in an ident was willing to donate his remains, and his heart so happened to be a fit for Zhao Ruoxin! Third Young Master, theres basically nothing suspicious. Yan Jun noticed that Yuan Xuans solemn expression as he flipped through the dossier over and over again. It was as if there was still something he could not figure out. How did Old Mistress get hold of news about Zhao Ruoxin? Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows. Regarding the sudden descent of Zhao Ruoxin from the sky, he had been taking a cautious stance all this while. However, he could not directly ask Old Mistress. Yuan Xuan was extremely familiar with his grandmothers temper. Having been pampered since young, she was autocratic in the way she handled matters. That day when she was opposed to letting Zhao Ruoxin stay here, Old Mistress was already extremely displeased. If he were to raise further questions, it would arouse her aversion. Didnt Old Mistress go to the Tang Guan Temple to pray a few days before the banquet? Zhao Yanni went to the temple from the nearby civilian area and had disturbed Old Mistress. Is that woman mad? Yuan Xuan coldly remarked, his vtile gaze was chilly. Years of grappling with his enemies had cultivated in him a deep-seated distrust for everyone. She is mad. Its exactly because of that she ran about wildly, and from what the temple abbot had mentioned, this woman would always go there to steal the food offerings. Since she was mentally deranged, no one bothered to make a report. Then, it so happened that she met Old Mistress that day she went there again. Old Mistress recognized that shes Zhao Yanni and found out about Miss Zhao. Yan Jun had investigated thoroughly and even inquired the neighbors staying around Zhao Yanni and Zhao Ruoxin, confirming that Zhao Yanni was indeed suffering from a mental disorder. Wheres Zhao Yanni staying now? Yuan Xuans deep voice was exceptionally calm. Old Mistress has arranged for her to be admitted into Zong He Psychiatric Sanatorium... Yan Jun suddenly felt that something was amiss. He quietly asked, Young Master, if youre in doubt, should we move Ye Kun out of there? Yuan Xuan motioned with his hand. No need. At least Zong He was in his territory! Since Old Mistress has made the arrangement, it shouldnt be a big issue. The information Ye Kun provided to us has been utilizedpletely at the moment. Have the men at Zong He to take note and safeguard him. Yan Jun epted themand. Ye Kun was Yuan Tangbais personal bodyguard. When Yuan Xuan was 15, he had rescued Ye Kun by chance, who was being hunted down at that time. To Yuan Xuan, Ye Kun was a person of unusual significance and someone he respected like a father... Now, Zhao Ruoxin and Zhao Yanni, these two women of unknown origin, though appeared to be simple, had managed to enter the Yuan Family that easily and even got close to where Ye Kun was residing. There were some aspects that he just could not figure out! About the heart transnt, even if it was free from the donor, the surgery and post-operation treatments would still cost hundreds of thousands. How and where did the Zhao mother and daughter acquire such a huge amount? Yuan Xuan continued to question. Yan Jun was stunned. After investigating so much, this question did not ur to him at all! He felt ashamed for failing to carry out his duties. Yan Jun had been following by Yuan Xuans side for years. The trio of Kang Yu, Tian Qi and him had their respective roles. Kang Yu, a graduate from the University of California, was hired by Yuan Xuan and became his office and administrative personnel. He was involved in most of thepany matters and could be seen as Yuan Xuans right-hand man. Yan Jun was responsible for Yuan Xuans various privatework and connections, investigating and reporting and mediating every party. He was also Yuan Xuans close aide. Tian Qi, on the other hand, was a unique existence presented to Yuan Xuan by Shao Yibai. Due tomitting a minor offense, he had opted to retire from being the leader of special forces. He was skillful andpetent with a straight and one-track mind and his greatest strength was loyalty. Under normal circumstances, Yuan Xuan would not have Tian Qi appear in public. However, once Yuan Qi showed up, the other party would either die or be injured severely... Yuan Xuan treated them very well and they were all remunerated handsomely. However, this had developed in him the mentality of being ignorant of human suffering, forgetting that money was a hard currency to themon people! Young Master, are you suspecting that someone has Miss Zhaos back? Chapter 86 - Sometimes, He Even Wished That She Was A Little More Cunning

Chapter 86: Sometimes, He Even Wished That She Was A Little More Cunning

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun thought about Shu Qingers death and the fact that they have not found the actual culprit. The situation had gotten a littleplicated now that her twin sister appeared. Lets not jump into conclusion yet. You should check on it first and we will decide after that! Should I need to arrange some bodyguards to secretly protect the Old Mistress and the Young Mistress at the mansion? Somehow, even Yan Jun felt like that woman would do something to Mu Chenyan! Either way, Zhao Ruoxin is still Qingers sister. Since I owe Qinger a debt of gratitude, it is my duty to take care of her sister! Investigating Zhao Ruoxin is just to get to know her better. It doesnt necessarily mean that she is a bad person! Yuan Xuan had always put in careful considerations before making a decision. He would not act rashly and alert anyone before confirming that she is suspicious. After all, the debt of gratitude that they owed to the Shu Family had always bothered the Old Mistress. I wanted to be safe than sorry... Yan Jun said worriedly. Yuan Xuan could not help butugh when he saw how Yan Jun was more nervous than him. Jiuer who is with the Old Mistress has been trained since young. That girl will protect the Old Mistress! Moreover, Zhao Ruoxin will not hurt the Old Mistress because she is her patron! The Old Mistress invited her into the Yuan Family Mansion, provided her with beautiful clothes and delicious food. As for Chenyan, I dont think shes that weak. This also happens to be a good opportunity for her to train herself! As he spoke, Yuan Xuan recalled how the woman acted one way in the open and another in the dark. Moreover, she was able to destroy Feng Rao without batting an eyelid. Thus, Zhao Ruoxin who seemed harmless at the moment would not be a match to her. He had seen the innocent and bright Mu Chenyan in the past. Although she was not as adorable as she was from before, it was challenging now to have a woman as unpredictable and difficult as her! Sometimes, he even wished that she was a little more cunning! He will spoil his woman no matter who she had be! Seeing the smile on the Third Young Masters face when he mentioned Mu Chenyan, Yan Jun could not help but sigh internally. That woman must truly be a magical living being to be able to melt his ice-cold heart... Oh right, when do Young Master n to deal with the situation in the prison? Yan Jun recalled the news from the first trial and secretly broke into a sweat for those pests who had no idea of death or danger! Might as well do it today. Pick up the Young Mistress in a while and I will be there today. Yuan Xuan was annoyed whenever this was mentioned! Someone actually dared to go against his will and deliberately hurt Mu Chenyan! She had already suffered two years in prison and she had to suffer another two more years. This thought alone caught him by surprise and made him lost his temper! He could not ease his anger if he did not do something about these people! Yan Jun went to the Hibiscus Garden to pick Mu Chenyan up but he did not tell her where they were going. Mu Chenyan stayed silent and did not ask. The gentle-looking girl dressed inly sat in the car, looking at the rapidly moving view outside the window with her bright eyes and feeling a little sentimental. Yan Jun was suddenly curious about this Young Mistress. He worked for Yuan Xuan for a few years already but he had never seen his CEO paid so much attention to a woman. The public said that Miss Shu was the CEOs childhood friend, but Yan Jun felt that the CEO was only paying his gratitude. Even though the CEOs attitude towards Miss Mu was very uncertain, Yan Jun felt that the CEO favored her... Nheless, he always thought that Miss Mu was a little terrifyingly quiet despite going through so much. Considering the grudges between the two families in the past and what he found out from the pests in the prison. Mu Chenyan noticed that Yan Jun was secretly looking at her. She twitched her mouth and put on a smile, averted her gaze and asked in a low voice, Secretary Yan, youve been around Yuan Xuan for a few years already, right? Yan Jun instantly sat up straight when he was being asked, It has indeed been a few years already! There isnt any other woman around Yuan Xuan in the past two years? Mu Chenyan asked briefly while twirling her hair with her fingers. She asked very casually without any emotions on her face. However, the calmer she was, the more dangerous it felt! Chapter 87 - Ive Had Germophobia Ever Since I Was Younger

Chapter 87: Ive Had Germophobia Ever Since I Was Younger

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun broke into a cold sweat! Young Mistress was trying to get information about Young Master! During the two years when Young Mistress was gone, she wanted to know how did the CEO spend his time. After all, any ordinary and healthy men would have needs... Young Master seems to have germophobia! Yan Jun pondered on it but all he was able to do was describing Yuan Xuan with these three words! Mu Chenyan heard it and startedughing. Herughter was as pleasing as the sound of bells ringing and Yan Jun was blushing from his ears to his neck. Young Mistress, Young Master really do have germophobia! Yan Jun was afraid that Mu Chenyan did not believe in him. If his hands were not on the steering wheel, he would have put his right hand up and sworn upon the altar of God. Im not lying to you! Mu Chenyanforted Yuan Xuan softly. It seemed like Yuan Xuans trusty assistant was afraid that he might have said something wrong and caused trouble to his CEO... Previously when Young Mistress was suffering in prison, there were women who tried to take an opportunity. Nheless, all of them were beaten up by Young Master... Yuan Xuan hit women? Mu Chenyan was surprised by this information. She only wanted to ask casually and get to know more about Yuan Xuans love life in the past two years. She did not think that the seemingly elegant and noble man had such a violent side. Young Master did not hit them personally, Tian Qi did! Yan Jun assumed that in Tian Qis stubborn brain, there will not be any principles about why men should not hit women! In Tian Qis opinion, Yuan Xuan was his principle! During the first few months when you were in prison, the Young Mistress of the Hai Family secretly drugged Young Masters drink. Young Master found out about it and Tian Qi broke three of that womans rib bones! Mu Chenyan? .... He was that brutal? The Young Mistress of the Hai Family was also rather good-looking! Also, there was once in the bar when Miss Yu Lingyun sat on Young Mastersps while she was drunk and got thrown out of the bar by Tian Qi... As Yan Jun was talking, Mu Chenyan tried to imagine the huge and tall Tian Qi dragging Yu Lingyun out the bar... If Mu Chenyan did not personally experience how violent Yuan Xuan was in bed, she would think that he might be impotent since he rejected all those women... It seemed like Yan Jun was right, this man had an extremely severe case of germophobia! If he does not like something, he would throw it away even if it was given to him! Hey, that would be weird! She had been chasing after him for so many years. Why did he not throw her away if he hated it so much? ... When Mu Chenyan finally arrived at Yuan Xuans office, he saw a mysterious smile on her face. Yan Jun who was standing at the side seemed to have just finished a marathon! Yuan Xuan brought Tian Qi along with him today. Even Tian Qi could tell that Yan Jun was extremely nervous because he was guilty of something... Yan Jun regretted it now. As expected, he should not havemented on his boss behind his back because the feeling of guilt was extremely painful! ... Since Tian Qi drove his own car, the multi-tasker Yan Jun instantly turned into a chaffeur! Whats so funny? Tell me about it! The two of them got into the car and sat together at the backseat. Both man and woman looked overwhelmingly gorgeous! The man looked at the beautiful woman openly with his deep and thoughtful eyes. Mu Chenyan saw how nervous the chauffeur looked andughed! Yan Jun constantly tried to use his eyes tomunicate with the Young Mistress through the back mirror, Young Mistress, you wont betray me, right? Nothing, I just recalled something that happened in schoolst time... Mu Chenyan lied. Yan Jun heaved a sigh of relief. When you were in school? Yuan Xuan fondled his chin and started pondering. Do you have germophobia towards women in the past? Mu Chenyan suddenly asked and Yan Jun who was driving in front started breathing incoherently. His legs started shaking, causing the car to swerve to the side and almost lost control! Yan Jun calmed down and the car finally started to move normally. The trusty assistant was praying in his heart, Young Mistress, please dont tell him that I said that! Yuan Xuan frowned and said in a low voice, Ive had germophobia ever since I was younger! Mu Chenyan ... Yan Jun, ... Chapter 88 - Bring Her Justice

Chapter 88: Bring Her Justice

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The car drove into the An Xian female prison located at the border of Luo Hai. The distance between the prison and Luo Hai City was not too long. However, it was located in a remote and dested area. Other than the period of time when Mu Chenyan lived at the Detention Center because she was on trial, she spent most of her time living here! In fact, the surrounding sceneries were not familiar to Mu Chenyan. When she was in prison, she was utterly confused. She was not in the mood of sceneries as she felt despaired and was in fear of the unpredictable future! By the time she left the prison, things have changed and her personality became extremely cold. Her perception towards the outside world became dull and she did not care about anything. Thus, why would she be attracted to the sceneries? Mu Chenyan was brought to this ce out of the sudden today. Moreover, she actually did not recognize this ce even for a moment even after getting down from the car. She looked towards the buildings and the pitch ck, ferocious-looking front door. She could feel the chillsing from the huge door before even getting close to it. The door actually devoured peoples hopes and courage... Mu Chenyan did not know why did Yuan Xuan bring her here. Even the sky above the heavily guarded walls was turning gloomy. The dark-colored prison uniform was once the color that Mu Chenyan was sick of two years ago... Mu Chenyan recalled that it was raining on the day that she left and her mood was as gloomy as the weather now. In her opinion, when Butler Fu brought her back to the Yuan Family, she was just moving from one cage to another cage. However, her dull-colored prison uniform changed into the colorful clothing that she wore today. In two years time, her status turned from the number one socialite in Luo Hai to a prisoner. Then, she turned from a wicked woman that everyone disdained to the Third Young Mistress of the number one aristocratic family... The only things that never changed were the painful memories and the fear that prated deep into her bones... Yuan Xuan saw the change in Mu Chenyans emotions as she tightened the coat around her cold body. She had an indifferent look on her pale little face but there was hatred in her eyes. He reached his hand out to hold her tiny hand and he was caught off guard by how cold it was. Mu Chenyan shook off Yuan Xuans hand. She turned around to look at him and said with her trembling lips, Why did you bring me here? To refresh my memories? On the way here, he did not tell Mu Chenyan about their destination because he was afraid that she would be against it. Yuan Xuan knew that this was her mental block. He also knew that it was unrealistic for her to face it in a calm andposed manner. I want to bring justice for the unfair treatment that you suffered here! Yuan Xuans voice was a little hoarse. Despite sounding ruthless and merciless, he was very serious with his words. Mu Chenyan could not control the feeling of detest and constraint in her heart. She took a step back and changed the way she looked at Yuan Xuan. An irritable and sad feeling suddenly arose from her heart. Initially, when the two of them were together, their rtionship maintained mutually at a bnced point. They were not overly intimate, but it was still considered peaceful. However, this ce evoked all of the bad memories that Mu Chenyan buried at the bottom of her heart. The piercing pain in her heart instantly caused her to detest the man in front of her. Yuan Xuan probably contributed to the unfair treatment that he mentioned! If he was willing to save her, why would she need to suffer two years? He was the one with the final decision! He was also the one to decide whether she was guilty or innocent! After being tortured in this hell-like prison for two years, she cut off her love towards him and worn off her initial morality. And now, this man said that he wanted to bring her justice? Even if he brought her justice, the Mu Chenyan from before will not be back. The look in Mu Chenyans eyes became darker. There were hints of stubbornness and agitation in her eyes as she smiled sarcastically. Okay, Ill see how are you going to bring me justice! She was nurtured to be a socialite since young. Moreover, she was heavily influenced by her mother who was elegant and proper. Thus, she had never spoken in the way that she did today. ... Chapter 89 - She Recognized Mu Chenyan

Chapter 89: She Recognized Mu Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In the prison wardens spacious yet empty office, Yuan Xuan was like a God who was in charge of life and death. He looked down at the few frightened female prisoners and the prison warden from a higher position. Mu Chenyan knew each and every one of them here. However, they did not recognize Mu Chenyan. She was a woman with delicate features, fair skin, and dressed in appropriate clothing. When she elegantly walked in front of them, how could they recognize that she was once the frail and lowly Mu Chenyan? These women were interrogated a while back. From past experience, they dared not say anything despite being arrogant before. They lowered their heads obediently in front of Yuan Xuan. Even a blind person could tell that he was a person of high status without even understanding the situation. The prison warden Liu San Kui did not expect someone from the Yuan Family to be here. Moreover, it was their Third Young Master! In terms of financial resources, no one in the Southeast Region couldpete with the Yuan Familys Third Young Master! In terms of military achievements, although Yuan Tangbai had passed away, his prestige and reputation remained. Every ranking and influential official in the Capital City had to show respect to his only son, not to mention a small prison warden. Young Master Yuan... look... the people that you asked for are here! Oh my, Im a bad manager... Liu San Kui quickly criticized himself after seeing that things seemed to be going downhill. Liu San Kui was like a God in this prison. Even the Eighteen Arhats 1 would have to obey him in this prison! Heavenly principles did not exist here as the prison warden held the absolute power! An Overlord who reigned supreme actually acted so humbly in front of this high and mighty handsome Young Master. Therefore, how could the female prisoners not be frightened? The few of them spotted Yan Jun, who was standing at the side. They previously had a hard time with him. Seeing Yuan Xuan, even a fool could tell that he was the real boss behind the scene! Yuan Xuan scanned through the few women in front of him with his piercing gaze. They wore the same prison uniform, queued up in a line and lowered their heads. None of them dared to raise their head but they secretly knew in their hearts that they may not have much time left... The other two persons were a prison guard and auxiliary police. The prisoners revealed that they were working under the orders from both of them. Is everyone here already? Yuan Xuans deep hoarse voice caused the few women to shiver in fear. Was the trial about to begin? Yuan Xuan signaled with his eyes and Yan Jun moved forward. He dragged a muscr, tall woman and threw her in front of Mu Chenyan. Young Mistress, have a look and see whether she was the one who led the rest to bully you? The women squeaked out of fear. The scar on her left cheek seemed even more ferocious when she was in fear! Mu Chenyan recalled that everyone here called her Sister Scar. Rumors had it that before she got into prison, she was the owner of a casino. Her husband had an affair with the owner of the jewelry shop next door and she paid someone to cripple her husbands mistress and destroyed her shop. With that, she was sentenced to jail for ten years. No matter how sessful they were outside, they would need to start anew and followed the prison rules. Sister Scar was a very cruel and arrogant person. Her family often deliver goods that were highly demanded to her and she would bribe the prison guards with alcohol and cigarettes. As for the sweets and snacks, sometimes she would distribute it to own thugs and alliances. In addition to that, she also seemed like a good fighter. Therefore, she was very popr inside the prison. She was thepetent right-hand man of the former head sister. After the head sister was released from prison, the status was passed onto her. A long period of istion and the uncertainty towards the future contributed to people developing a ruthless behavior. This feeling would corrode a persons heart in the long run, and developed some form of twisted mentality and behavior. Within such a narrow and independent space, fourteen people would form a small society with a hierarchy system. A new member like Mu Chenyan will naturally be the top bullying target! Do you still recognize her? Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan look at Sister Scar with a gaze filled with hatred. He assumed that she was the leader and he spoke coldly. Sister Scars entire body trembled. The arrogance and supremacy were gone. Hearing Yuan Xuans question, she raised her head slightly and looked at Mu Chenyan attentively. The beautiful face of the woman in front of her was unforgettable and Sister Scar quickly recognized Mu Chenyan! Chapter 90 - Ordered By Someone

Chapter 90: Ordered By Someone

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The woman in front of her was elegant but her gaze was calm with an odd, piercing cold. Sister Scar suddenly realized that she had offended someone that she should not have o... This... isnt this Mu... Shut Up! Mu Chenyan was extremely disgusted. She did not want to hear her nameing out from her mouth! I... I was ordered by someone. Miss Mu, please forgive me and forget about my past mistakes... As she pleaded, she leaned forward and tried to hold Mu Chenyans hand. Mu Chenyan frowned, took a step backward and looked at the dirty woman in disdain. Tian Qi who was standing at the side used his body to block Sister Scar. Tian Qis murderous gaze frightened Sister Scar and she dared not move. In fact, Sister Scar was considered amon citizenpared to the members of the noble aristocratic families. Thus, there should not be any interactions between both parties. Even so, such a lowly woman who was not even worth mentioning actually bullied Mu Chenyan! The anger in Yuan Xuan was intensifying! Quick, tell me who ordered you to do do! Sister Scar did not know what was happening. Nheless, she could feel that she was in deep trouble with theming by and making such a huge scene. She slumped on the floor and started wailing. It-its... the Yuan Family of Luo Hai! She said tremblingly. Shut up! Yuan Xuan jumped out of the chair and a hint of piercing cold gaze shed through his phoenix-narrow eyes. Who in the Yuan Family gave you the order to torture Mu Chenyan? His tone was no longer low and suppressed. His furious gaze was like a cold de which could carve out pieces of human meat. Mu Chenyan was also shocked by this information! Despite all the spections that she had before, she did not wish upon the day when she needed to face the truth. She was in doubt, in shock, and in grief. Then, she turned her head to look at Yuan Xuan. Even Yan Jun did not expect this answer. Thest time he came here to interrogate, the few women simply refused to reveal any information. The only thing they said was they followed the prisons rule and hit the neer. Since ancient times, it was an unspoken rule in prisons and there was nothing new about it. But today, she revealed the truth in front of Mu Chenyan. It was someone from the Yuan Family and the situation suddenly became very awkward. The prison guard gave an order saying that Miss Mu offended the Yuan Family, so I was told to take care of her. You should know that neers are bound to be bullied. Moreover, Miss Mu was cold and aloof... As she spoke, Sister Scar peeped at Mu Chenyan. Seeing that she was unresponsive, she continued, When Miss Mu first got here, she did not cry orin. All she did was read and all of them were imported books... Everyone thought that she intentionally put on an act... The corner of Mu Chenyans lips curled up and she sneered coldly. She was indeed as she was described at that time. Wu Ze was concerned that she could not bear the loneliness inside, so he would sneak in some books for her. Even Wu Ze knew that someone as proud as her would not be able to ept such a drastic change in status. Moreover, she was once the number one socialite that everyone admired. The books were the greatest gifts to apany her! Even so, it actually seemed like a sign of misfit in their eyes. Therefore, even without orders from above, Miss Mu would also be treated differently. Nevertheless, we were told to take care of her since the beginning! Later on, the higher-ups told us that someone did not want her to live peacefully... So, we did not hold back... Sister Scar said it very naturally as it should be. When the prison guards at the side heard what she said, they were already frightened out of their wits. They quickly exined, Yes... Someone from the Yuan Family of Luo Hai sent words saying that Miss Mu killed their Old Mistresss dearest person and that Miss Mu was removed from the Yuan Family... So, we were told to punish her properly... Thus, we allowed their behaviors... Yan Jun felt that the situation deviated a little from their expectations! Yuan Xuan looked at the few women in front of him coldly and the pressure in the air caused everyone to hold their breaths. This high-above and extremely arrogant man was dismembering every single one on the scene with his gaze! After a moment, his supernatural-sounding voice pierced through everyones ears, Was it the Old Mistress of the Yuan Family? Chapter 91 - Why Do You Need to Know?

Chapter 91: Why Do You Need to Know?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan, Yan Jun, and Tian Qi were silent as they looked at Yuan Xuans pitch-ck shadow that seemed as though it was growing longer inside the stifling office. The deep noise was still echoing from a distance. Regarding this matter, who would dare to suspect Old Mistress unless Yuan Xuan had said it again on his own? However, aside from Old Mistress, who would dare to step foot into Yuan Xuans domain and made changes there? Although Yuan Xuan had already arranged to prevent Mu Chenyan from suffering inconveniences, the other party had simply abused her as pleased. The incident with Shu Qinger was a sore spot for Old Mistress. Old Mistress had even fallen ill a few times when Qinger died. How could Old Mistress willingly ept that a child whom she had raised on her own and loved for more than a decade would suffer a horrible death before her one day? When Yuan Xuan refused to get a divorce, did Old Mistress send people to do those things because she was certain that he would not part with Mu Chenyan? Previously, when you made clear arrangements for Miss Mu to be protected from harm and trouble, wed never even dare to inconvenience her! However, when we wereter told of the Yuan Familys Old Mistress intentions, we were merely prompted to act in ordance with that... The prison guard stuttered. Since the monthly wages that an auxiliary police officer earned were inadequate, they became obsessed with the money that the Yuan Family gave them because they could never earn it in ten years. However, they nearly copsed from fright after experiencing this today. Had they exchanged their lives for money? How did you torture her? Yuan Xuan suddenly asked. The expression on Mu Chenyans face changed. Those unimaginable scenes shed in her mind again. Clearly too afraid to speak, the female prisoners and prison guards merely nced at each other and attempted to use silence to get away with it. Slightly annoyed, Yuan Xuan said, All of you refused to be convinced before you were faced with terrible consequences! Frightened, the women howled and cried, making a chaotic scene. Mu Chenyans indifferent face became even more emotionless before she opened her mouth and coldly said, Why do you need to know? Yuan Xuan did not know how ruthless or vicious a human heart could be. During a period when he had previously note into contact with his woman, she had struggled through murky waters. What kind of inhumane individuals had tortured her to the point to be the person she was today? Mu Chenyan was certain that they were too scared to speak because of Yuan Xuans fatally oppressive aura. Who would dare to test their luck with him during this critical moment? Let me tell you then. Yuan Xuan was suddenly stunned when he saw the devilish smile on Mu Chenyans face that appeared amidst the tense atmosphere. Its a norm to get pped! Havent you seen the burn wounds on my body? Mu Chenyan said slowly, Those were just a small part of it. After the burn injuries appeared, scabs would form on the old wounds. Then they would pick the scabs off and scald the bloody crusty remains again... On the side, Yan Jun inhaled a breath of cold air when he heard this. He winced from listening to this process and could not even imagine the extreme brutality of the scene. Yan Jun suddenly realized that these women would not meet a happy ending today. After spending numerous years by Yuan Xuans side, he had pretty much understood that although she was indeed the Old Mistress, this powerful woman still would not dare to directly trespass into Yuan Xuans domain. Thus, it was inevitable that these women would meet a sorry fate for treating Miss Mu this way. Even a rough and stubborn person like Tian Qi could not help but furrowed his eyebrows. Tian Qi, a man with a special forces background who had decapitated and killed people and had even experienced bloodied battlefields, could not even imagine that women could be worse than the Devil when they became ruthless. Yuan Xuans face turned pale as he looked at Mu Chenyans smile. He wanted to reach out and embrace her in his arms; he wanted to use his lips to kiss her wounds and tell her how much he was hurting too... However, Mu Chenyans aura refused him. She resembled an injured hedgehog that could not be easily approached. Sister Scar wished she could find a hole to hide inside now. The brutal actions that she had carried out were far more than this. In the winter, they took turns to take away the only nket that I have to warm myself on the thin mattress. I was so cold that I couldnt sleep. asionally when I was managed to doze off, they would ssh cold water on me in the middle of the night... I suffered from high fever and could not move, and was only sent to be saved and woken up after I fainted. They were worried that I would actually die... Mu Chenyans smile was strangely wretched. Since I never resisted, they would let me rest once they were tired of beating me. If I showed the slightest bit of resistance, they would strip me naked and make me kneel beside the toilet bowl in the bathroom... Mu Chenyan actually smiled describing the tragic scenes. Chapter 92 - The First Time That Yuan Xuan Was Sincerely Repentant

Chapter 92: The First Time That Yuan Xuan Was Sincerely Repentant

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Without saying anything, Yuan Xuan rushed over and embraced the woman tightly. Her entire body was chilly and trembling. Chenyan... Im sorry. I was wrong. I didnt protect you well! This was the first time that Yuan Xuan was repented from his heart. He initially wanted to bring down the Mu Family but chose this cruel way to keep Mu Chenyan away from it. Shao Yibai was right when he said that he would feel remorse over his own selfishness sooner orter. Wu Ze was right as well to say that he had no right to love Mu Chenyan. He had really been too selfish. Yuan Xuan, dont you feel that these events arent important anymore when you look at them now? Mu Chenyan did not reject his embrace but leaned her head against his shoulder instead. Her voice was as soft as a kittens but her body was as cold as the winter snow. Im standing properly before you now. My appearance is still the same as it was that year, and Im still stirringly beautiful. Moreover, I still possess my talents and bountiful knowledge and I still have the qualities and character of a youngdy of an aristocratic family that was cultivated from the illustrious Mu Family... But Im telling you I am no longer the previous Mu Chenyan! She had already died in this ce. When Yuan Xuan heard Mu Chenyans choking and sobbing voice, he held her tighter as if he was worried that he would lose her or she would gradually grow more distant. He quietly murmured, Chenyan, Im sorry. Everything is in the past now. Mu Chenyan forced a smile and said, Is it all in the past? Yuan Xuan, you cant act as if you personally experienced it in this life too! You merely saw the ending but I experienced the entire process. You wouldnt understand this pain because you werent the one who went through it! At that time, I didnt know when Id be released. My future was too uncertain then. It seemed as though I couldnt even see a ray of hope. I couldnt even harbor any illusions. If I wanted to survive, the Mu Chenyan of the past had to die! As he listened to Mu Chenyan, he could feel that woman trembling non-stop in his arms. Only now did he realize why the woman he was looking at could be hopelessly apathetic and indifferent. Those dark days were like devastating attacks to this woman whose heart was filled with love. ... Yuan Xuan slowly released Mu Chenyan but continued to keep her beside him. He suddenly opened his mouth and said, There is always a guilty party for every misdoing. Since youre already here today, we must bring this to an end. When the several trembling individuals who had carried out this atrocity heard the extremely arrogant man dering this in a deep voice, they profusely begged him in a grieving tone, We were also instigated by someone else... Sir, you should seek the Yuan Family if you want revenge... Shut up! When Yan Jun saw the few women behaving in a reckless manner and bringing up the Yuan Family, he angrily kicked and stomped on their leader Sister Scar until she copsed on the ground. You blind fools, do you know who he is? The women nkly stared at each other. People like them would nevere into contact with the proud and aloof Third Young Master of one of Luo Hais aristocratic families because they did not even deserve to kiss Yuan Xuans feet. Take a good look, this is the Third Young Master of the Yuan Family! You kept saying that the Yuan Family incited you to do those things but did you know that Miss Mu is Third Young Master Yuans wife? Yan Juns words were like a sudden bolt of lighting to these women. We... we... didnt know! Right from the start, someone told us that the Yuan Family had already disowned Miss Mu from the family... Moreover, the Mu Family had nevere over to clear things up... Thus, we assumed that the Yuan Family wanted us to get rid of this useless young woman! Both of the auxiliary police officers felt paralyzed and revealed their darkest story. Since the Mu Family had not cleared things up but the Yuan Family had arrived, these women instantly epted the task without caring about their statuses or the mission itself. The few women around Sister Scar felt they were treated unfairly. They had not even used their brains to think before doing what their leader had instructed them to do. They simply assaulted whoever she told them to. Would these petty lowlifes who did not even recognize Mu Chenyans status receive their retribution today? Chapter 93 - Yuan Xuan, Forget It

Chapter 93: Yuan Xuan, Forget It

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Sister Scar lowered her head before realizing that Mrs Yuan was the only person who could save her. Although she could not undo her past vile actions, it was vital for her to protect herself now. Sister Scar hurriedly crawled towards Mu Chenyans soles before her big fat hands tightly gripped Mu Chenyans trouser legs in one go. Her coarse and creaky voice wailed, Miss Mu... No no, Mrs Yuan... A high-status person like yourself shouldnt bear grudges against a lowly person like me. I was an idiot, an inhumane person... Im begging you to ask the Young Master of the Yuan Family to forgive me... Mu Chenyan turned her face away in disgust but Yuan Xuan could see her true feelings which could not be hidden on her charming little face. Get your filthy hands off me! Mu Chenyans quiet voice was somewhat hoarse. She retreated backward as if she was avoiding the gue. Those two hands had abused, assaulted and inhumanely treated her. Would she choose to forgive this woman by disying great benevolence and disregard past grudges? She could not act like a martyr! I think that a woman like you would have no other use for these two hands aside from hitting people. I should just break them once and for all! Yuan Xuan said lightly as an extremely beast-like evil aura burst forth from his sinister hawk-like eyes. If he was not concerned about dirtying his own hands, he really wanted to personally carry out this task. This woman was truly too despicable to abuse a lovely person like Mu Chenyan. Tian Qi understood. In his prime, the body of this man who had previously served in the special forces could lift a 100kg burden without exerting much force. His legs had even broken a wooden pir that was as thick as the rim of a bowl when he kicked it. During a military operation which they were sent to suppress some bandits, Tian Qi killed one of the captives with one kick when he tried to escape. Since that persons spleen ruptured, his unit initially wanted to discipline him but they had never expected that the short-tempered and stubbornmander and his deputy would take matters into their own hands and hence had to expel him instead! Tian Qi was an orphan who behaved in a rigid and simple-minded manner. He could not do anything when he entered society and his sole merit was his loyalty. Nheless, his stamina andbat skills were highly superior as well. Shao Yibai allowed him to stay and gave him to Yuan Xuan as a personal bodyguard because he valued his talents. Tian Qi understood the message. He walked over and kicked Sister Scar away from Mu Chenyans side. In a deep voice, he said to Mu Chenyan, Stand here, Madam. Dont be afraid. Mu Chenyans body shook briefly before she took a step backward while faintly trembling. Sister Scar wailed as if she had seen a ghost. Save... Save me... She ignored the trickle of blood seeping out from the corner of her mouth and the dull pain in her chest. She rolled away and crawled up before she charged towards the doorway as if she had gone insane! This office was originally a ce that was set up by the prison for the guards to temporarily rest when they were not working. The inner room was a resting area. Since there was only an office desk and a chair outside, the area was very spacious. Tian Qi was abnormally calm. Nheless, he hastened his footsteps and grabbed the shameless womans shirt cor from the back. He dragged her along with ease before Sister Scar heavily copsed on the ground. Tian Qis knee struck the crook of the womans arm, the crisp sound of broken bone apanied the womans horrifying screams echoing in the air... Sister Scar fainted from the pain. Traces of a murderous aura could be seen on Tian Qis face, he looked frighteningly violent. The two prison guards felt that the turn of event was far from reassuring. They got up and attempted to escape, running and shouting, Hes a murderer! Thew doesnt exist anymore. Anybody, somebody, pleasee quickly! It was trulyughable. They had never thought of thew when theymitted those crimes but had now ced their faith there instead. Tian Qi did not give them a second chance to yell. The rigid man merely used two kicks to speedily get rid of those two women whom he merely regarded as background noise. The cold and merciless man said to the women, Stop screaming! I hate the screams of women! The other women looked at Tian Qi as if they had seen a bloodthirsty demon. All of their faces turned pale and they were so frightened that they copsed on the ground in a paralyzed state. They did not even dare to gasp. When Mu Chenyan saw that the people who had previously abused her now resembled a heap of rotting flesh thaty unmoving there, her stomach suddenly turned and she felt as if she was about to throw up... When Yuan Xuan noticed that herplexion had worsened, he reached out and held her before asking, Chenyan, whats wrong? Mu Chenyan held Yuan Xuans arm while her ashen face became devoid of a single trace of rosiness. Her lips briefly trembled before she quietly said, Yuan Xuan... just forget it... Chapter 94 - Bite the Hand That Feeds You

Chapter 94: Bite the Hand That Feeds You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan merely saw Mu Chenyans body turned limp before he could even respond. She actually fell backward in an erect manner while facing upwards. Shocked, Yuan Xuan gasped, Chenyan! Chenyan... ... Mu Chenyan was unaware of how she had gotten into the car and returned to the Yuan household. She did not seem to know the details of the things that happened along the way. She knew even less about the major reorganization of the prison in An Xian. Liu Sankui received a transfer order the very same day to be sent to guard a lighthouse on an ind as part of his contribution in protecting the country... A few prison guards were dismissed from their jobs and the Yuan Family ordered them to leave Luo Hai within three days. The other female prisoners who had abused her were given extended sentences and heavier punishments. When Sister Scars family discovered that she had offended the Yuan Family of Luo Hai, they were too afraid to even fart. After sending her to the hospital, they never dared to show their faces again. All of these affairs were handled within a mere two to three hours. ... Mu Chenyan discovered that she had already returned to Hibiscus Garden when she woke up. Devoid of any strength, her bodyid on the warm bed. The clothes on her entire body were soaked with sweat after she fainted. She felt sticky and ufortable. The smell of fragrant incense permeated through the air and calmed the atmosphere. Mu Chenyan moved her arms, suddenly arousing Ah Fu who was sitting beside her and dozing off. Young Mistress, youre awake? Are you hungry? Ill get you something to eat! Mu Chenyan waved her hand and gestured Ah Fu toe over before she quietly asked, Wheres Young Master? Ah Fu who was somewhat at a loss then mumbled, After he came home, Young Master angrily went to Upper Mansion... Anxiety filled Mu Chenyans mind. She crawled up from the bed but could only feel her head spinning while her body was uncontrobly weak. This was probably caused by those horrifying shbacks and the reawakening of those traumatizing memories. The tight nerve in her brain was suddenly agitated by those people, Mu Chenyans mental state became disturbed while her body was unable to tolerate it as well. Seeing that Mu Chenyan was still trying to stand despite nearly falling, Ah Fu became extremely frantic and cried out, Young Mistress, please dont simply move. Young Master told me to take proper care of you before he left. He said that you have to eat something first as soon as you wake up! Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and panted before asking, How long has Young Master been gone? Its been an hour already. Help me get up and let me go see him... ordered Mu Chenyan. Ah Fu remembered the grave look on Young Masters face when he carried Young Mistress home and rushed towards the bedroom on the second floor. After some time, the family doctor came over and briefly examined the mistress and said that she was merely agitated. It was not a serious problem but she needed to rest. Young Master angrily left after that. Despite working in Hibiscus Garden for two years, Ah Fu had never seen Yuan Xuan going to Upper Mansion in that state. Old Mistress truly adored him. Whenever Yuan Xuan visited Upper Mansion, he would first take a shower and change his clothes before going over in an enthusiastic mood to show his respect. Indeed, today was the first time he behaved in this manner. Ah Fu who had yet to understand the real situation at that time was so frightened that she withdrew to the corner of the wall and stared at her mistress in hopes that she would wake up fast. However, she had not expected that her mistress would actually insist on going to Upper Mansion even though she was so weak when she woke up. The girl was suddenly stunned from fear because she was worried that Yuan Xuan would me her for not properlypleting her duties upon his return. Young Mistress, you cant go like this. Something will definitely happen to you in your current state! Although Ah Fu did not know what exactly had happened, she guessed that it was rted to her mistress illness by observing Young Masters reactions. Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with the girl. She struggled and got up. As she looked into the mirror to tidy her hair, she noticed that herplexion was indeed terrifyingly pale. She changed into a light yellow low-neck sweater and wrapped herself in a in coat. She ignored Ah Fus objections and went to Upper Mansion. Chapter 95

Chapter 95: When He Encountered Matters Regarding Mu Chenyan, His Actions Would Be Thrown Into Disorder

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The journey usually only required five minutes of walking but Mu Chenyan took ten minutes instead. Since she was so feeble, the new clothes that she had changed into were now thoroughly soaked with her sweat. Nheless, she had no time to deal with trivial matters. She was certain that Yuan Xuan furiously went to visit his grandmother because of what happened and the results from the prison today. Since his grandmother had single-handedly raised him, she viewed him as her reason for living. In her heart, Mu Chenyan could me or hate her but Yuan Xuan could not. Even if Mu Chenyan could not bear the torture that was inflicted upon her, she could forgo her morals and allow a grandson to fight with his own grandmother... Warm orange-colored light illuminated the side hall of Upper Mansion. The two pomegranate trees by the doorway that were boring juicy and ripe fruits were personally nted by Old Master while he was still alive. Mu Chenyan leaned against one of the tree trunks and panted for a while. It was still slightly cold inte autumn. The door to the side hall was unlocked, Old Mistress sobs intermittently drifted out from there. Mu Chenyan was shocked and she hurriedly walked forward. She heard Old Mistress resentfully cursing as she cried, It looks like youve been bewitched by that foxy woman because you actually turned around and bit the hand that fed you by doubting your own grandmother! Mu Chenyan paused in her footsteps. She was pretty sure that the foxy woman that Yuan Xuans grandmother was referring to. She felt embarrassed for a few seconds. Standing on the same spot, Mu Chenyan heard Yuan Xuans grandmother continued saying, That Mu Chenyan is just too much. She had been infatuated with you ever since she was slightly over ten years old. If it wasnt for her, Qinger would have married into the Yuan Family... Shemitted those crimes and got herself imprisoned so its normal for her to get beaten up. Who wouldnt be irritated just by looking at that foxy face? Mu Chenyan was scolded to the point where her heart became empty for awhile. She halted her footsteps because she was unsure whether to advance or retreat. Grandmother, my rtionship with Qinger was unlike the rumors spreading outside! Yuan Xuans voice was deep and unhurried. Mu Chenyan was stunned because it was rare for her to hear Yuan Xuan rifying his rtionship with Shu Qinger. It was unlike the rumors outside? Then what was it actually like? She recalled how Yuan Xuan had previously told her that he owed Qinger an infinite number of favors that could never be fully returned... Mu Chenyan nkly stared while Yuan Xuans deep and faraway voice echoed from the inside. Since his grandmother was upset, Yuan Xuan spoke in aforting tone and said, Dont be angry, grandmother. Little Yuan have no other intentions. When I received the news today, I didnt fully believe that Grandmother had nned this. Ill get Yan Jun to continue his investigation in this matter. When Old Mistress heard that Yuan Xuan still wanted to pursue this, a furious look appeared on her face. She reprimanded him saying, If you continue to pursue this matter, I think that you should just listen to that foxy woman regarding matters that concern the Yuan Family in the future. You dont have to care at all about your grandmother over here anymore! I raised you ever since you were little and Id never disappointed your parents even after they died. Ive wasted my love on you all these years! When Yuan Xuan saw that his grandmother was truly upset, it was enough to stress out a person like himself who was exceptionally intelligent. When he returned in the afternoon and saw Mu Chenyans weary appearance, he lost all reason and anxiously rushed to Upper Mansion to confront his grandmother. He had never expected that Old Mistress would insist that she had not nned that. This made Yuan Xuan passive instead. When he encountered matters regarding Mu Chenyan, his actions would apparently be thrown into disorder. Of course I know that my grandmother loves me! Yuan Xuans voice was magnificent and elegant. Moreover, it was already naturally soothing. He held his grandmothers hands before he continued to speak. However, Mu Chenyan has suffered numerous grievances in thest two years. No matter what you say, her family is currently ruined and that was caused by the Yuan Family. After all, since the Mu Family and the Yuan Family previously had friendly rtions, bringing down their entire household would definitely be a horrible thing to do! Yuan Xuans tone was as gentle as a stream of flowing water between the hills. But when Mu Chenyan heard him mentioning the destruction of her family, a bone-chilling feeling swept over her and her fingertips faintly trembled. Was the destruction of her household caused by the Yuan Family? She had nearly forgotten about this matter! Chapter 96 - As Far As Yuan Xuan Was Concerned, He Never Loved Her

Chapter 96: As Far As Yuan Xuan Was Concerned, He Never Loved Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The words that followed made her heart turn ice cold. Its not necessary for Little Xuan to investigate this matter! Nheless, Mu Chenyan is already in such a pitiful state. Shed have no ce to hide if she left the Yuan household now C Im only being kind to her because shes so pitiful. The public perspective of the matters regarding both the Yuan Family and the Mu Family has always been undesirable. Thus, letting her stay with the Yuan Family could be considered a means of making up for the Yuan Familys reputation. Old Mistress Yuan was clearly surprised when she said this. Youre saying that you have a goal behind why youre keeping her? The Yuan Family is prosperous in many ways andcking in nothing, but it just so happens that Little Xuancks a bedmate. Grandmother, please treat her a little better for my sake. When she heard Yuan Xuan saying these things, Mu Chenyan looked like she blew a blood vessel. He only treated her well as a way to mentally redeem himself. Was he staying with without feeling any sort affection toward her? Sheughed at herself. She had expected too much from him! Had she not had mixed feelings for Yuan Xuan since a long time ago? She had been fatally attracted to his determined spirit during her youth. As her deep love for him persisted for over a decade, it would alsomonly override any resentment she felt toward him. Every time she indulged him, that temporary happiness would drown her and make her forget the fact that she had fallen so far from grace because of the Yuan Family. After she sobered up, she would realize that she deeply resented this man. He yed an undeniable part in her fathers death, her mothers injuries, the two years she lost, and the circumstances that befell her brother whom she did not know the state of. She had initially nned to leave him once she had made all the necessary preparations, but she looked at their rtionship now, sheughed. Those amorous nights were ironic because Yuan Xuan had simrly merely wanted a bedmate to keep him warm. Yuan Xuans words had awakened her from her nightmare. Mu Chenyan suddenly understood that as far as Yuan Xuan was concerned, he had never loved her. Mu Chenyans entire body shivered while her beautiful face turned pale. She wanted to step forward and leave but her legs were as heavy as lead, making it impossible for her to budge. She only heard Old Mistress sneer before replying, Then am I supposed to treat Mu Chenyan the same way I treat you? Im afraid that she hasnt learned to be grateful yet because shes already provoked you intoing and seek revenge today. No matter how well I treat her in the future, itll already be ingrained in her heart that I was determined to hurt her. How is she supposed to be close to me then? You dont have to get worked up just because you want that foxy woman as your bedmate. When you get bored of her in the future, Ill find you a good girl to call a Mistress of the Yuan Family... Youre imagining things, grandmother. Chenyan never said anything like that. Your grandson just came here today on impulse, so she doesnt even know about me being here. As for the future, well talk about it when the timees. Although Yuan Xuan lowered his voice, it could still be distinctly heard outside. Mu Chenyan felt as if she had heard something that she was not supposed to. Some truths were far better off remaining unsaid. Despite already being a lost cause, she still had to suffer in this household. Just how badly did she have to humiliate herself? Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and was barely able to calm her breathing before she turned around and began to leave. Suddenly, a crisp female voice called out to her, Is that you, Chenyan? Why dont youe in since youre already here? Grandmother and Brother Xuan are chatting inside. As Zhao Ruoxin walked in, she coincidentally bumped into Mu Chenyan who was standing there looking very stunned. Mu Chenyan had neglected the greater threat when she was focusing on the less important issue. (TN: Original text was a Chinese idiom that depicts a mantis that is unaware of a bigger threat, the bird, while it is stalking a cicada.) When she saw the deste expression on Mu Chenyans face, the corners of Zhao Ruoxins mouth curled upward before they stretched into a mysterious smile. Zhao Ruoxin had not heard what the pair had discussed, but she now knew that the things that Yuan Xuan said about having a bedmate were true. She had initially assumed that the Third Young Mistress position had already been secured, but had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would admit his hearts true desires in front of his grandmother. Apparently, the position as the Third Young Mistress was still very much vacant. Her bright eyes narrowed as Zhao Ruoxin struggled to suppress her delight upon making this discovery... There was no reason for Zhao Ruoxin to let Mu Chenyan leave. It would be best if could make her give up now C Brother Yuan Xuan should not have married this woman in the first ce. Chapter 97 - Liu Li Villa

Chapter 97: Liu Li Vi

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When she saw Mu Chenyans pale expression, she realized that she had probably just suffered a serious blow. Despite being the true Mrs Yuan by definition, she was still denied any form of genuine affection. Moreover, as long as she was absent from Yuan Xuans heart, Zhao Ruoxin stood a chance. When she thought of this, Zhao Ruoxin became extremely delighted. However, she still needed to act calm andposed. She pretended to be close to Mu Chenyan by holding her arm as the seemingly harmless smile on her face simultaneously grew wider. She ced her pale little hand on Mu Chenyans shoulder while her tone was filled with politeness C she was almost acting as if she was mistress instead. You should hurry up and go in since youre already here. The autumn breeze outside is terribly cold, it looks like your little hands are already freezing! Mu Chenyan heard this and felt a little awkward, almost as if she had been caught peeping. If she left now, the people inside would realize that she hade over. Mu Chenyan gently removed her arm away from Zhao Ruoxins grip before she quietly replied, Ive just arrived and havent had the time to go inside yet. She then calmed herself down before stepping forward to enter the side hall without any further dilly-dallying. When Zhao Ruoxin noticed that Mu Chenyan was intentionally distancing herself, she calmly pulled back her own arm and followed her closely from behind. When Zhao Ruoxin saw Yuan Xuan sitting beside his grandmother in a graceful and elegant manner, she did not have to verbally express her happiness. She simply rushed over and murmured, Brother Xuan, I havent seen you for so long... Mu Chenyan turned her face away because she had no intention of watching Zhao Ruoxin behave flirtatiously with her partner. The moment she saw her, Mu Chenyan unconsciously thought of Qinger. However, Yuan Xuans gaze and attention were focused solely on Mu Chenyan before his tightly pursed thin lips quietly grunted half-heartedly in agreement. When their gazes met, he saw that Mu Chenyans eyes were filled with coldness. From Mu Chenyans perspective, his gaze was just something that was filled with lust and was devoid of any traces of real love. As her irritation was apparent, it became even more obvious when she tried to conceal it. Yuan Xuan saw that not only was Mu Chenyansplexion terrible, but she looked even more tired than usual as well. Why had she hastily pursued him to Upper Mansion? Thendmines here had not been cleared yet, so why was this stupid woman charging headfirst into them? He felt anger toward Mu Chenyan and simultaneously desired to return home to teach Ah Fu a lesson for being incapable. Zhao Ruoxin became slightly disappointed when Yuan Xuan did not respond to her enthusiasm. Her little face was dyed a shade of crimson. She approached the old woman and pouted as if she had been greatly inconvenienced. Old Mistress held her breath and shot a nce at Mu Chenyan. Old Mistress Yuan would not have been so angry if Mu Chenyan had not arrived. Now that she had seen her, her heart became ridden with more anxiety. No matter how one looked at it, Yuan Xuan was her grandson whom she had single-handedly raised. Even if she was filled with rage, Old Mistress would be reluctant to direct it at Yuan Xuan. However, Mu Chenyan was different. From her perspective, this daughter-inw was an outsider. Yuan Xuan was right when he imed that Mu Chenyan was dependent on the kindness of others since the Mu Family was now ruined. Old Mistress felt that Yuan Xuan had refused to get a divorce two years ago solely because he pitied this woman. Nevertheless, when Mu Chenyan saw Old Mistress looking at her, she quietly greeted her grandmother. Old Mistress lowered her eyes without acknowledging Mu Chenyan. She reached her hand out and pulled Zhao Ruoxin over before she turned to Yuan Xuan and said, In a few days time, Ruoxin wants to go to Wintry Lake to sketch. Since youve been ving away in the office day and night, you should likewise take this opportunity to rx with Ruoxin and others at the Yuan Familys mansion. The Yuan Family had a mansion called Liu Li Vi that spanned a thousand hectors located Wintry Lake. Since Yuan Xuan liked to take care of the garden there, Liu Li Vi was named after him. Old Mistress would also usually spend her summers vacationing there. However, no one else was brave enough to enter as they pleased. Now Old Mistress want Zhao Ruoxin to stay at Liu Li Vi for several days? Although they were both dependents, it looked like Mu Chenyans position was very different from Miss Zhaos, despite thetter being an outsider. Chapter 98 - Why Was This Woman Making Such a Fuss?

Chapter 98: Why Was This Woman Making Such a Fuss?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Excitement filled Zhao Ruoxins heard the moment she heard this suggestion. A split secondter, she timidly cast a questioning gaze in Yuan Xuans direction. She was worried that Yuan Xuan would decline, but she was also filled with hope. When Mu Chenyan saw her in that entangled state, she felt as if she was looking at herself from more than a decade ago... Yuan Xuans handsome face was shrouded in the darkness, but the deep expression he wore made this man look even more enchanting. However, there was an indescribable coldness hidden behind his seemingly normal appearance. Zhao Ruoxin was both bewitched and lost in his eyes. When he heard that his grandmother had arranged for them to go together, the soft orange lights that reflected off Yuan Xuans face could not hide his hesitation. Yuan Xuan was worried that he would not get to visit Liu Li Vi if he declined. Brother Xuan, I wont go if you dont agree. Zhao Ruoxins agreeable, sensible, and understanding manner easily won both men and women over. It sounds like a really good idea to me. Since Ruoxin has just arrived in Luo Hai, it definitely wont be safe for her to go alone because shes unfamiliar with the ce and the people. Thus, itd be good if Yuan Xuan apanied her. While Yuan Xuan was gloomily silent, Mu Chenyan suddenly answered on his behalf. Her tone hinted at her annoyance. Yuan Xuan sat there while his eyes coldly scanned Mu Chenyans extremely beautiful and delicate little face. His slender fingers were tightly gripped into a fist, clearly showing hisrge knuckles. He could not understand why this woman was making such a fuss. Zhao Ruoxin had never imagined that Mu Chenyan woulde to her aid. She was slightly suspicious and surprised, but since she could not understand Mu Chenyans actions, she could only quietly observe the oue. Chenyan shoulde too! I heard Grandmother say that therell be maple leaves at Wintry Lake in autumn, so I want to go there and sketch them. However, Grandmother suggested that Brother Xuan shoulde along because the mansion belongs to him. When Zhao Ruoxin mentioned this, she automatically distanced herself from her true desire of wanting to get close to the man. Mu Chenyan knew that Shu Qinger had graduated from an art college and was originally studying to continue her studies in Italy. Could it be that her twin sister was also a lover of the arts? Mu Chenyans question was quickly answered by Yuan Xuan. Does Miss Zhao like drawing too? Where did you learn how to do so? Zhao Ruoxin was briefly shocked. When the words Miss Zhao escaped Yuan Xuans lips, it always seemed distant and pitiful. As Qingers twin sister, she lived with the Yuan Family just like her older sister. She was also adored by Old Mistress who had even thought of her as Shu Qinger all this while... Oh! My mother allowed me to learn for awhile while we were still financially stable when I was younger, but I wasnt as lucky as my sister. My sister learned everything about it since my grandmother raised her as the daughter of a well-known family. I heard that my sister was even sent to study in Italy when she was young C Ive only studied under a few local art college teachers... Zhao Ruoxin spoke while pitifully ncing at the olddy, making herself seem inferior. Qinger was very talented! Old Mistress Yuans eyes were filled with affection when she spoke of Shu Qinger. One could tell that Old Mistress clearly adored that girl more than she did Yuan Tian... Shu Qinger studied locally for eight years before she took up contemporary sketching and oil painting under an Italian art expert at the age of 14. Furthermore, she had already developed a certain reputation in the art world by the age of 22. If not for her ident, her artwork would have been widely spread throughout most of northern Jiang Nan via various art exhibitions. The Yuan Family was influential enough to have given her this boost. It was truly impossible for Zhao Ruoxin topare herself to her sister in this regard. Did Miss Zhao previously have much contact with Qinger? Yuan Xuan suddenly asked. From what he knew, Shu Qinger would not have had much contact with her younger sister who had lived in City C all this time. However, it looked like Zhao Ruoxin knew Shu Qinger very well. Moreover, they seemed to have a close sisterly rtionship. Logically speaking, they would not have had simr life experiences unless they were genuine twin sisters who shared an internal bond. Chapter 99 - What Happened to His Freaking Germaphobia?

Chapter 99: What Happened to His Freaking Germaphobia?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The questions shocked Zhao Ruoxin. Both of Yuan Xuans hands were sped on his forehead while his sharp gaze was directed at Zhao Ruoxin. He did not want to miss any details. This man was already aposed and dark person. When he used this gaze to scrutinize others, anyone would feel threatened by the piercing coldness that seemed to be able to see through everything. Zhao Ruoxin was momentarily speechless before she looked at Grandmother for help. Old Mistress sighed to indicate that she was somewhat unhappy with Yuan Xuans attitude. She quietly said, I told Ruoxin many things about Qinger when she was younger. As sisters, their gics would naturally be simr. When Ruoxin said that she had fallen gravely ill several times when she was younger, I thought about it and realized that Qinger had gotten terribly sick at around the same time too. It looks like these two beauties were destined to have a close sisterly bond C their hearts were linked! Old Mistress eyes were filled with tender affection as she said this. It looked like she really wanted to raise Zhao Ruoxin as if she was Shu Qinger. If youre unwilling to apany her to Liu Li Vi, then Ill do it instead! When she saw that Yuan Xuan was still acting in this way, Old Mistress finally used her trump card. Old Mistress Yuan was willing to go overboard for the sake of this girl who was an outsider from another family. However, it was inadvisable for elderly people to engage in outdoor activities during the colder seasons of autumn and winter. Even if Yuan Xuan was notpletely obedient, he would not allow her to act so recklessly. It was difficult toprehend why people became more stubborn as they grew older. Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuans expression had been gloomy all this while and realized that not only was this man insufferably arrogant, he had been manipting others all this while. However, after being pushed around by these women today, his heart probably felt horribly suffocated. ording to a famous saying, three people were a crowd. I n this house, the three women here were clearly lively. 1 Since itse to this, Ill apany Ruoxin to Liu Li Vi for a visit. But, please dontin if I dont look after you attentively, Miss Zhao. Yuan Xuan suddenly changed his stance as the creases on his face became much gentler. He fixed his gaze on her, but his tone was just as deep as before. Moreover, he affectionately addressed her as Ruoxin now, instead of the previous Miss Zhao that made them seem distant. These changes made Zhao Ruoxin unexpectedly happy. It could even be said that she was beside herself with joy. She excitedly tugged at Yuan Xuans sleeve while her light-hearted smile showed off her glowing white teeth. Brother Xuan, youre too kind. I was really worried that you werent going to agree... Yuan Xuan faintly furrowed his eyebrows and calmly touched his shirt sleeve before he unintentionally nced at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan subtly twitched, but her face remained cold and gloomy. She icily scrutinized Yuan Xuan and Zhao Ruoxin as her heart silently cursed. Hmph! Was this not the wrong ce to act in a spoiled manner? Were they assuming that the mistress was blind? Moreover, what happened to the mans freaking germaphobia? Mu Chenyan thought that he was making a fool out of himself! Yuan Xuans gaze continued to observe Mu Chenyans face. The woman then intentionally revealed a faint smirk before she turned away and forced him to look at the back of her head. Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin was still rattling on. I heard Grandmother say that Brother Xuan has made Liu Li Vi very beautiful and that it contains rare nts from the outside world. Moreover, there are even some nts there that cant be found anywhere else on the. Most people have never even gotten Brother Xuans permission to go there! They couldnt tell whether Zhao Ruoxin was truly stupid, or if she was intentionally bragging. Her gentle voice continuously droned on as if she was the most excited person in the world. In order to drown out her presence, Mu Chenyan softened the sound of her breathing and acted as if the woman in front of her was not talking about her husband. At this point, Zhao Ruoxin suddenly turned around and asked Mu Chenyan, Chenyan, are youing with us to Liu Li Vi? Her tone already made her feelings obvious. She was hoping that Mu Chenyan would say no... A weary and indescribable look of exhaustion appeared on Mu Chenyans face when she asked this. Zhao Ruoxin reacted towards Yuan Xuan in an excessively excited manner that seemed absolutely shameless. Mu Chenyan recalled Yuan Tiansments of Yuan Ran earlier that day when she had said that Yuan Ran had spent her entire life only hoping to marry a good man... Had she not possessed the same desires towards Yuan Xuan during her youth? However,plying with Yuan Xuans wishes right now was something that she was truly not willing to do. Moreover, she was acutely aware of the fact that she was just one of the many people in Yuan Xuans heart. When she recalled those words, her heart was filled with a deep pain. When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Ruoxins words, she did not hesitate at all before replying, Im not interested! Brother Xuan should apany you alone so that I wont have to be the third wheel! The arrogant woman had just pped cheating couple in the face. Chapter 100 - Mu Chenyan Had Provoked Yuan Xuan Without Doing Anything

Chapter 100: Mu Chenyan Had Provoked Yuan Xuan Without Doing Anything

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan was clearly avoiding his gaze C mocking him even. Nheless, he had only wanted to use Zhao Ruoxin to provoke her and make her slightly jealous. He had never expected this woman to act unconcerned and push him away. A fire began to burn in his heart. His gaze was piercing and beast-like. He wanted to pounce on her and tear off that scornful look that the woman was using to mask her true feelings. Since he cared about her, he would not let her act indifferent about this. Zhao Ruoxin pretended as if she had not heard this, but did not continue speaking. Although Old Mistress adored her, she was still aware that Mu Chenyan was the real Mrs Yuan. Her excitement and joy had clearly caused her to celebrate too early. Chenyan, dont get angry okay? I... I only wanted to get the owners permission, but I unconsciously snatched Brother Xuan away from you... Zhao Ruoxin was beautiful and gentle as she said this. Sometimes, her eyes would look murky and mysterious while other times, they were as gentle as a stream. Mu Chenyan watched Zhao Ruoxins fascinating transformation and raised her brow. She had instantly changed from an extremely enthusiastic and delighted fox into a worried littlemb. I never said that you snatched Brother Xuan from me! Mu Chenyan sneered before she continuing, Besides, you couldve just said that you wanted him. The position of Mrs Yuan is determined solely by your Brother Xuans wishes! This attack stunned Zhao Ruoxin. Her deepest desires had been revealed in a manner that publically shamed her. She lusted after Yuan Xuan, but she did not want him to think that she was being too straight-forward. After all, she used herte sister as a false pretence to approach Yuan Xuan in order to give a good impression to him. Now that Mu Chenyan had dragged the truth out into the daylight, she felt humiliated. Chenyan, that isnt funny at all! Zhao Ruoxin protested in a soft voice while a troubled look spread across her face. When she saw her in this state, Mu Chenyans head began to throb C she was irritated with her own stupidity. Zhao Ruoxin was not exactly a scheming whore. She was merely slightly overexcited and overjoyed to the point where she had exposed herself. However, in doing so, she had made a fool out of herself. After she had said this, she became worried that she had given Old Mistress and Yuan Xuan an opportunity to pounce on her and rip her to pieces. She hadnt thought about this! Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan was already ring at her to shut her up, mainly because she had disrespected the title of Mrs Yuan. There will only be one Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuan seemed emotionless as his deep voice rang out. However, this sudden deration shocked the three women in the room. Old Mistress was terribly unhappy but was reluctant to involve her own grandson in this mess any further. Nheless, she had a valid reason to rebuke Mu Chenyan for speaking in such an unrestrained manner. Old Mistress was just about tosh out before Yuan Xuan suddenly surprised her by getting up. He walked over with long strides, his oppressive pressure instantly making Mu Chenyan feel suffocated. When Mu Chenyan saw the mans stern expression and the angry glow of his pitch-ck pupils, she shifted her little feet. She was so frightened that she actually took a step back. Yuan Xuan hooked his arm around her slim waist before he turned to his grandmother and said, Grandmother, Mu Chenyan has a headache. Ill take her home first. Old Mistress Yuan lowered her head and nced at the young couple. Even a blind person could tell that Yuan Xuan was protecting Mu Chenyan. This little b*stard clearly did not want to give her the chance to discipline that foxy woman... Quickly take her home and let her rest if shes having a headache. Stop talking nonsense here! Old Mistress was very unhappy as she ordered her guests to leave with a gloomy expression on her face. Mu Chenyans skinny body struggled in Yuan Xuans arms for awhile. She was helpless in his embrace because his grip was as strong as steel, sturdy to the point where he could not be shaken. She grappled with him for several minutes but was unable to free herself. She finally gave up and bit her lip before quietly protesting, What headache? Youre the cause of my headache! If you keep making a fuss, then your head wont be the only thing thats hurting! Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse and strained. The deepness of his growl wasparable to a fine wine it that people would feel a warmth just by listening to it. Moreover, they could also be intoxicated by it. His brilliant gaze was also filled with rage that did little to conceal the meaning behind his words... This was a tant threat! When Mu Chenyan recalled the days and nights that she could not keep her legs together, her pent up rage subsided and her bad temper instantly vanished. He had won! This Little Yuan Xuan had won! Chapter 101 - Mrs Yuan, Please Be Nicer

Chapter 101: Mrs Yuan, Please Be Nicer

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The little interaction between the couple caused Zhao Ruoxins expression to turn ugly. Any outsider could tell how protective this man was toward Mu Chenyan... Only Mu Chenyan who was in the thick of it all was oblivious to it! Wasnt Sister Qinger supposed to be his childhood sweetheart? Zhao Ruoxin was clearly unable to resign herself to her fate, so she called out in a low voice, Brother Xuan... Well talk about whatever you want to bring up another time. Yuan Xuan interrupted Zhao Ruoxin, his face calm and unshifting. His dark pupils were dim, and his gaze was distant. All these subtle forms of rejection caused Zhao Ruoxin to lose the courage to continue her sentence. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and spoke quietly to the woman in his arms, Follow me home. Home? Yuan Xuan called the ce they lived in home... Mu Chenyan did not have the time to think properly before her body automatically began moving with him toward the door. Mu Chenyans greatest strengths were that she could recognize and adapt quickly to her current situation and that she was very aware of her own limits. If she were to continue to act up, then things might take a turn for the worse for her, so she instantly activated her obedient side. The cunning and aloof man had yed along with the three women in their over-the-top drama the whole night, hence he had to be somewhat frustrated. He wanted to end the show, so he did not want to give anyone the chance for an encore. After lifting his hand, he wrapped them around Mu Chenyans shoulders in a protective manner and dragged her out of the side hall. ... There was a small garden in the middle of the path that ran from the Upper Mansion to Hibiscus Garden. The cement of the shrubs and arbour were tasteful, and the pathway was paved with ck and white pebbles. Even in daytime, this winding and tranquil path was a rxing ce to visit. On this night, the soft and warm floormps were lit. The pathway was, quiet and pleasant, truly a romantic spot! Unfortunately, the man and woman were annoyed at each other, and neither of them seemed to want to want tofort the other. Mu Chenyan had been held too tightly by Yuan Xuan. This, coupled with her earlier venting and struggling caused her to feel a little hot at the moment. Let go! Mu Chenyan objected, her tightly knitted brows proudly disying her displeasure. Mrs Yuan, please be nicer. Yuan Xuans voice was not loud, and it could even be considered gentle, but he definitely was not ready to entertain this woman! Mu Chenyan actually felt that his tone was slightly threatening. He referring to her as Mrs Yuan was a signal of danger! Isnt the woman with the nice attitude staying at Grandmothers ce? Feel free to go and find her. Im just a bedmate after all... Initially, she had wanted to give him the cold shoulder, acting as if she did not give a hoot about the whole situation. However, the words that were spoken carried an obvious unhappiness... Mu Chenyan felt so aggrieved that she could cry! After recalling the words she had overheard earlier, she became even more frustrated. I take you as my husband, yet you only view me as a bedmate... So its because of this...There were traces of ridicule in Yuan Xuans voice. The man who was initially already so handsome and refined seemed to appear even more dashing right now. He wasnt acting cool as he had in the Upper Mansion just now, right now, he was filled with tenderness. True enough, she had overheard what I said earlier! Smiling faintly, the coy and charming man used his deep voice to tease her ear. What a foolish woman! In ancient times, you wouldnt have been able tost three days in thepetition for head-mistress within the pce! Mu Chenyan did not know whether a person like Yuan Xuan would watch pce dramas, but he sure used a rather trendy way to criticize her intellect! She was so pissed off that her face flushed red. Even if its just a bedmate, its a bedmate for life! Arent you satisfied yet? Yuan Xuan suddenly kissed her ear and softly muttered. Someone as proud as him was prepared to keep his promise for a lifetime! It was just that he was not very articte, and that his words did not seem that impressive C he even seemed to mention it a little too casually... This man who had lived alone for almost half of his life and had previously been ustomed to her pursuing him... It must be difficult for him to humble himself and admit that he was willing to spend a lifetime with her. Hence, the way he expressed his words was somewhat underwhelming... However, when Mu Chenyan heard Yuan Xuans unbothered tone, she became even more certain that deep down in his heart, all her sufferings were only as temporary as a fleeting cloud. Whether it was the ridicule and insults she had endured or the misfortune that the Mu Family had suffered, none of them seemed to matter to him! Chapter 102 - Lets Not Talk. Well Use Actions Instead!

Chapter 102: Lets Not Talk. Well Use Actions Instead!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion If Mu Chenyan could cool down a little more, she would discover where the actual problem was. Even when Yuan Xuans attitude toward her was bad, his tone was still gentle... Unfortunately, the two were not on the same wavelength, and when tempers soared, her thoughts would gradually shift away. Mu Chenyan coldly sneered. For life? Perhaps you just think of me as a pet that you are raising! You had previously abandoned me and let me get locked up in that dark ce, leaving me to get beaten and chided. You taking me back now is merely moving me to a different cage! Mu Chenyan closed her eyes as she spoke, her pale and perfect face was filled with hate... Yuan Xuan frowned and reached out to lift the womans sharp chin, feeling slightly irritated. How can you say such hurtful words? When have I ever treated you as a pet? When Mu Chenyan heard this question, she became convinced that he was so exceedingly arrogant that whatever she said at this point would be considered as her rebelling against him! She became dispirited, and she activated the cold-shoulder mode where she refused tomunicate nor argue with him. Forget it, just pretend I didnt say anything. Will Mr Yuan let go of his wife now? Mu Chenyan was calm and aloof, wantonly treading on this mans dignity. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan was the same as other men in that they were all afraid of a woman in this state! When you wanted to have a proper dialogue with her, she would activate the I-dont-want-to-talk-to-you-anymore mode. When you did not want to speak to her any more, she would pester you non-stop... To put it simply, they were not on the same wavelength! Alright then. Lets not talk. Well use actions instead! Yuan Xuans tone was stiff, and he started pulling with great force before holding her head and unceremoniously nting a kiss on her lips. The kiss came too suddenly as Chenyans mind went nk for about five seconds. Yuan Xuan kissed and nibbled at the same time, tormenting the chatty mouth and stopping it from spouting any more nonsense. Since her return, Yuan Xuan had been persistently feeling that she was not herself. She was now withdrawn and quiet. At times, one would see that she was right beside them, yet her soul seemed to be off wandering somewhere else. Only when they were entangled on the bed would he feel that she was truly his! The look of her face always cried out from pleasure underneath him C this was the Mu Chenyan who had been so love-struck over him in the past! He kissed Mu Chenyan until she was out of breath, and her lips were so bruised that she wanted to cry. She pushed against her shackles, wanting to break free from this cage that was restricting her. In exchange, she was rewarded with even deeper kisses... Every time she retreated, Yuan Xuan would advance! It was to the extent that her body was pushed against the stout trunk of the tree behind her. The friction with the rough bark messed her hair up, even causing some pain for the parts of her bare skin that rubbed against it! Nheless, the pain was nothingpared to the downright burning sensation on her lips! Her lungs felt as if they were being scorched by a zing inferno, and her countless alveoli were desperately protesting We need oxygen, we need oxygen... Her brain was gradually nking out due to ack of oxygen, and her instinctive reaction was to reduce her physical exertion. Thus, she no longer resisted but went limp and freely allowed him to trample on her as he pleased... Feeling her feebleness, Yuan Xuan finally released her lips, but he continued his domination, kissing her forehead, cheeks, all the way down to her slender neck. The mans breathing was getting heavier, and the smell of his testosterone mixed with his unique rosin fragrance filled Mu Chenyans nostrils... Yuan Xuan kissed her passionately between breaths, his hands never resting. Then, he lifted herrge sweater and unceremoniously reached in! The sudden touch of his cold hand caused Mu Chenyan to jolt back to reality, and she realized that hisrge hand was reaching all the way down, ready to explore her forbidden grounds... She pressed her small hands against his arms and cautioned in an irritated voice, Yuan Xuan, no... dont... Nevertheless, Yuan Xuan continued as if he could not hear her objections. His heart and mind were filled with thoughts and desires of conquering her. The beast in his heart had been hungry for too long! As he continued to lock her down, all his senses erupted into life, as if he had been critically ill all this while and Mu Chenyan was the only thing capable of treating him. His body went out of control, desperate to have a taste... One hand restlessly explored herher regions, while the other pinned her arms over her head against the tree trunk. He spoke softly into her ears, Mrs Yuan, do you like me in this way? Chapter 103 - This Was Presumably the Real Zhao Ruoxin?

Chapter 103: This Was Presumably the Real Zhao Ruoxin?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt extremely humiliated. She hated Yuan Xuan! She hated herself even more! She hated Yuan Xuan using these kinds of tactics to subdue her... She hated her body, which submitted so easily to defeat and was lifted to the pinnacle of pleasure with just his hand... Her entire body was limp and weak, and her thin sweater was soaked with sweat. Yuan Xuan carried her and looked at her little face that was flushed red from embarrassment trying to hide itself in his arms. Mu Chenyan bit her lips and tried not to look at him. Yuan Xuan pecked her forehead lightly and strode toward Hibiscus Garden. * Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin watched this perverted and heart-racing scene from behind the nearby trees! Hatred began to manifest itself in her as she broke her prettily manicured nails. When she heard Mu Chenyans lustful moaning, all she wanted to do was rush over and break her neck! Was there a more maddening thing than to watch the man you liked getting affectionate with another woman? Miss Zhao, were you enjoying it? Huh? A deep and hoarse male voice suddenly called out to her from behind. Zhao Ruoxin was so rmed that she jumped and almost fell over after she lost her bnce. Yuan Zhe suddenly reached out to support her. Zhao Ruoxin hurriedly moved away from Yuan Zhe and made an effort to appear calm and collected. She gently asked, Brother... Brother Yuan Zhe, what brings you to the Upper Mansion sote at night? Zhao Ruoxin had not been able to hide her hateful expression in time, and her entire body was shuddering oddly from the rage. She was holding the coat that Grandmother had asked her to pass to Yuan Xuan, but she had not expected toe across such a spectacr scene... The corner of Yuan Zhes lips curled upward into a faint smile. His face was very simr to Yuan Xuans, but itcked Yuan Xuans charm. He sized up Zhao Ruoxins pretty face, then began to grin. Zhao Ruoxin thought of acting adorable. Her eyes were misty, and the gentle glow from the streetmps illuminated the lines of her pretty corbone, making her seem very feminine indeed... This innocent look of Miss Zhaos is better off saved for Yuan Xuan. With me, its better to act natural! As Yuan Zhe spoke, a wicked smile began to form on his face. He had long detected this womans lustful thoughts for Yuan Xuan. Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoxinsplexion changed. She coldly sneered and turned into a different being altogether. Ruoxin doesnt understand what Brother Yuan Zhe means. Her gaze was bone-piercing cold, theplete opposite of the tenderness she had shown just a moment ago! Her attitude was proud and aloof, and the smile on her face was mocking. Her transformation had happened so quickly that anyone would be stunned by it! So, this was presumably the real Zhao Ruoxin? After shedding all the disguises and deceiving smiles, the little sheep had turned into a big gray wolf! Miss Zhao had deliberately schemed to gain ess to the Yuan Family. I suppose its because youre desperate and have no choice, right? Yuan Zhe smiled faintly. Zhao Ruoxin looked at Yuan Zhe cautiously and replied, I did it to gain the position of the Third Young Mistress in the Yuan Family! Zhao Ruoxin said without straightforwardly. Yuan Zheughed out loud. Nice! Compared to your indecisive older sister, Miss Zhaos courage is trulymendable C Im sure youll be someone who will achieve great things! However, I want to remind you that the Yuans Family waters are exceedingly deep 1 . What more, this Third Young Masters heart already belongs to someone else! As Yuan Zhe spoke, he looked at the tree that the two had been leaning against when they were being lovey-dovey earlier on. Youve seen it with your own eyes. How much a man loves a woman can be determined through how intoxicated he is with her body. Mu Chenyan could not have imagined that the scene of her being explored by Yuan Xuans hands had been watched by not one, but two people who were harboring malicious intentions. If Little Chenyan knew, she would have been extremely ashamed and indignant! Zhao Ruoxin snorted. Grandmothers right. That sluts a foxy one! The one whom Yuan Xuan shouldve married was supposed to be Shu Qinger. This was what he owed her! Now that Shu Qingers dead, and considering I have the same facial features as Shu Qinger, I could very well rece my sister and marry into the Yuan Family! After hearing Zhao Ruoxin say this, Yuan Zhe snickered. You want to marry into the Yuan Family? I can lend you a helping hand, but are you willing to work with me? Chapter 104 - Zhao Ruoxin Sneered Contemptuously

Chapter 104: Zhao Ruoxin Sneered Contemptuously

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The savage-looking grin on Zhao Ruoxins face did not disappear. Coborate? I dont think I need it at this point in time. Who does she, Mu Chenyan, think she is? Shes been pursuing a man for more than ten years and shamelessly trying to win his heart. No matter Yuan Xuan will tire of her sooner orter! Furthermore, our goals do not align, so how are we supposed to coborate? Hearing this, Yuan Zhe chuckled coldly. He moved in closer and casually sniffed at the floral fragrance on the woman. Looks like Ive really underestimated Miss Zhao. Youve done your homework well! Before entering the Yuan Family, you mustve racked your brains to gather quite a sizeable amount of intel. Zhao Ruoxin took a step back, feeling a disturbed by Yuan Zhes close contact. She grinned cynically. The entire Yuan Family appears to be united, but is actually divided at heart. Yall arent close to each other, and your rtionships are already rotten to the core. Im aware of all of this! Brother Yuan Zhe, you too must be feeling the imbnce, right? Old Mistress holds Third Young Master so dearly to her heart. Im sure that you must feel ufortable even though youre Eldest Young Master. Your life must not be easy considering you are suppressed by Yuan Xuan in everything you do! Zhao Ruoxin sneered contemptuously. Yuan Zhes expression suddenly changed. He snorted and remarked in a low voice, The one who has thestugh is the one who will have the bestugh! After I topple Yuan Xuan, then youll have no chance of bing the Third Young Mistress! Zhao Ruoxin scowled and turned around to leave. Well just prep our own work separately and promise not to disturb each other then. If you fail to topple Yuan Xuan, Ill still be Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family! Even if you do manage to topple Yuan Xuan, it wont matter to me. You think I only care about your Yuan Familys status and money? What a joke! Truth to be told, the Yuan Family is so rotten that it makes me feel disgusted! Even if you beg me to stay here to be Third Young Mistress, I wont be willing to live under the same roof as all of you. If Brother Xuan is willing, then Ill do anything it takes to get us away from this madness! Zhao Ruoxins pretty face carried a fanatical smile. Yuan Zhe looked at Zhao Ruoxins back and fell deep into thought. The look of this woman when she finally revealed her ws was rather interesting. What she said was right, the Yuan Family was too rotten andcent. This century-old aristocratic family had been keeping to the same conventional routine for years. It was time for an immense shake-up! With this woman around, the century-old Yuan Family Mansion would not be as peaceful over theing days... ... Mu Chenyan was carried by Yuan Xuan back to Hibiscus Garden. When Ah Fu saw the feeble mistress flushed face ]still buried in Young Masters arms, the uninformed youngdy went over and ignorantly asked, Why is the mistress face so red? Did she catch a cold from the frezing wind? Mu Chenyan blushed and wanted to cry out of shame. She snuggled against Yuan Xuans arms and buried her face deeper into the darkness. Yuan Xuan knew that the voice of the woman in his arms was hoarse and that she was feeling so weak that she did not dare utter a single word. He ordered Ah Fu, Go and make some food for Young Mistress. Ill take her to shower. Send the food to the bedroomter. Ah Fu nodded. Oh, ok! Then hurriedly left for the kitchen to prepare. During winter time, keeping warm in the small wooden building in Hibiscus Garden became a huge issue. Fortunately, it was not cold in Luo Hai, and it stayed above 10 degrees Celcius all year round. It was only during rainy or windy days that there would be a chill in the air. Before Mu Chenyans return, Yuan Xuan was physically strong and was bubbling with Yang energy. Thus, he did not feel too cold. However, now there was this delicate woman with him whose hands and feet were chilly all year round C it was as if they would not get warm no matter how hard one tried to heat them up. Yuan Xuan filled the tub in the bathroom with warm water and poured some aromatherapy essential oil into it. Mu Chenyan was like a doll as she was ced into the tub. Her body was immediately stimted by the hot water and she quivered a little. Its a bit hot... She muttered softly. Her fair skin quickly absorbed the benefits of the essential oil. Add this to the stimtion from the hot water, and her blood cirction sped up making her skin turn rosy. Tonight was somewhat chilly, and you werent wearing a lot. Soak for a little while longer to get rid of the cold. Chapter 105 - What a Foolish Woman

Chapter 105: What a Foolish Woman

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan noticed she only had a thin sweater on, not to mention, the overcoat she was wearing was not that thick. Coupled with the fact that she had been stopped by him and had thus broken out into a sweat, he was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he made the bath water slightly warmer. Mu Chenyan was still mad at the earlier incident and was determined not to respond to him. Regardless of how much I wear, it still wont protect me against some people! Since young, Mu Chenyans mother had been rather strict in her bringing up. Due to her conservative and traditional mentality, she was unable to ept the fact that they had actually acted so intimately outside! Moreover, under the touch of his fingers, she had moaned without any reservation. From her perspective, this was uneptable! She thought back to her uncontrolled body and began to beat herself up for giving in without putting up a fight. Furthermore, when she recalled the discussion she had overheard earlier on about him referring to her as a bedmate, a tremendous sense of humiliation overwhelmed her, and her heart began to ache. Ayer of mist fogged up her vision and she bit her lips before using him in a low voice, Im a normal woman, not a prostitute... As she said this, Mu Chenyan turned her face away, feeling so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. When it came to rtionships, this woman still favored the traditional style of partners being deeply attached. If both the man and the woman were mutually affectionate and were in a suitable ce and environment, chit-chatting for half an hour first before beginning was the best way... Unlike today when the kissing had begun in the midst of arguing and disagreeing with each other, and then... Even in such an environment where she was super nervous, he still made her go out of control and moan until her voice became hoarse... When Yuan Xuan heard this, he knew that she was still having a fit. The proud and tender man simrly could not understand why he would have uncontroble lust when facing this woman... It was as if he wanted her all the time and was desperate to vent the surging emotions in his heart whenever possible... It was as if repression of more than ten years had finally gained permission to run rampant, and regardless of how self-disciplined he was, he would still lose control upon hearing her sweet voice. Where was the so-called abstinence? Men are different from women. Sometimes we cant control ourselves that easily unlike you guys. It was rare for Yuan Xuan to be willing to humble himself and exin things to her. The mans face was still cold and emotionless, and the words he spoke sounded stiff. Except when interacting with Grandmother, Yuan Xuan had never seemed to gently coax anyone else. Being able to give this solitary sentence to exin himself was already considered his limit. Mu Chenyan thought back to thest time when she had not satisfied him such that his appetite was not fulfilled, and he had went to take a cold shower with a dark face without pestering her further. Apparently, treating a bedmate like this was already more than enough. Mu Chenyan sneered contemptuously and remarked softly, No wonder they had to marry three or four wives in ancient times. It was probably to satiate the bestial desire like a certain someone... No matter what, Yuan Xuan was still the son of the most prestigious aristocratic family in Luo Hai. Not to mention his own brilliance and his sessful career, his handsome appearance coupled with the blessed air of nobility, many women could only dream of throwing themselves at him. However, Mu Chenyans words had reduced such an excellent man to a mere beast! Yuan Xuan pondered to himself. This woman was well-read and knowledgeable, but when it came to the intimate activity between a man and a woman, she was simply too foolish. In the past, she had followed him around like a fool, reading up and unyielding in her attempts of figuring out a way to acquire him. Her person was like a small dog that was on the hunt, yet her personality was very much like that of an Akita dog! Now that she had gotten her wish of bing Mrs Yuan, she was giving him the cold-shoulder and refusing him like nobodys business... Could it be that the romance she yearned for was a marriage without sex? What a foolish woman! Thinking of how she was treating the matter, Yuan Xuan could not suppress his discontent and suddenly uttered. He was thinking to himself that this kind of woman needed a lot more education. Instead of using words to express love, it was better for a man to prove it with action. Moreover, he truly had germophobia, and it had already reached itstter stages. He, only had her as his woman! Chapter 106 - Id Really Be Out of My Mind to Wait for You

Chapter 106: Id Really Be Out of My Mind to Wait for You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan would always call her foolish, and Mu Chenyan would always get irritated by this. How exactly was she a fool? Before going to Ennd, she was the famed, number one socialite in the Southeast Region. Even when studying abroad, she was a brilliantly talented woman in school, yet now she was constantly being called a fool by this man... The most foolish thing she had done was actually to follow him around for more than ten years! Just as she was about to rebut, Ah Fus soft and gentle voice called out to them from outside. Young Master, the Yang Chun Noodles (TN: in noodles with broth) are ready. Is Young Mistress ready to eat it now? Mu Chenyan was indeed famished. After being out the entire day and going through so many events, the battery in her body had long been drained. Under the temptation of hot water and food, all the cells in her body which previously been in battle mode suddenly began to call out: Master, stop arguing. We need that bowl of Yang Chun Noodles! Hungry? Yuan Xuan saw the desire in her eyes and lowered his voice to ask coyly. Mu Chenyan hurriedly nodded her head, her big lively eyes glowing with hope. Yuan Xuan cooled off and scooped her out of the water. After wrapping her in a bath towel, he carried her to the fabric sofa. Then, Ah Fu brought over the steaming hot Yang Chun Noodles and ced it in front of her. On the small tea table was also Ah Fus self-made sweet glutinous rice wine. The noodles were in, but after sprinkling some green onions on top of it and adding a few drops of sesame oil, it became extremely aromatic... Mu Chenyan smelt it and gulped loudly. She had never thought that noodles could be so appealing! After slurping down half a bowl, little beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead. Yuan Xuan furrowed his brows and thought to himself, When did this woman start to eat in such a down-to-earth manner? He wondered whether the two years of prison had caused her to abandon the reserved manner the youngdies of the aristocratic families were expected to maintain while dining. However, this was a good thing. As he watched her eat, even Yuan Xuan felt his stomach grumble. Moreover, more leeway would be given to an attractive person. Yuan Xuan even felt that there was nothing wrong about a woman bing a foodie. Being chubby was not so bad either as it was better thaning home to a chopstick that did nothing to help warm the bed. Warming the bed had not, in fact, deviated from bedmate! ... When Mu Chenyan finished the bowl, she let out a loud burp... Her pale face was now rosy, and her lips had returned to its usual shade of redness. Ah Fu took the bowl away and sneaked a peek at the state of her masters. Everything seemed to be back to peace and quiet. The girl then let out a sigh of relief and retreated. Seeing that she was now content and recalling the eventful day, Yuan Xuan felt that it was time to let her have a good rest. He got up and went to the bathroom. However, right before leaving, he said to Mu Chenyan, Wait for me, well sleep together in a while. Mu Chenyans mind was quickly processing what she had just heard, and the conclusion she arrived at frightened her to the core could it be that this pervert still wanted to continue their earlier exploits? Yuan Xuan would be so hurt if he knew that she had regarded him as such a disgusting person... Mu Chenyan quietly counted the days in her heart. The thrice a week quota had already been fulfilled for this week, so she did not owe him anything. Huh! This agreement was indeed in ordance with the bedmate strategy! Mu Chenyanughed coldly and thought to herself, Id really be out of my mind to wait for you! Meanwhile, the sound of rushing water was hearding from the bathroom. While he took his shower, the cunning woman quickly wormed into the bed. She would pretend to be asleep! ... Yuan Xuan came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. On his bronzed skin, crystal clear water droplets were dribbling down his V-line abs. The toned-up muscles were firm and full of sticity, and they were absolutely alluring...He did not like to smile, and his facial features were distinct. No matter one looked from whichever angle, the charm of this puritanical handsome man was definitely top-notch...Mu Chenyan covered her head with the nket and only exposed an eye as she peeked through the nket. In fact, she was taking in the view right before her eyes! Every time when they were together, those throbbing muscles would end up causing her to feel sore. The inherent physical strength and energy of this man were way beyond herprehension... Chapter 107 - She Could Not Resist His Temptation

Chapter 107: She Could Not Resist His Temptation

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan bashfully shrunk her head into her body. She could not resist this temptation! She herself could admit it! Yuan Xuan looked at the small bump on the bed where the woman was coiledfortably underneath the nket. In order to help cover up for herself, she even let out a light snore... Yuan Xuan had initially wanted to talk to her about the matter regarding Zhao Ruoxin, but after seeing that she was intentionally avoiding him, he could do nothing but let it go. There were some things she was better off not knowing. Being unaware meant that she wouldnt need to bear such a huge load! After all, the old her had suffered tremendously, and he had only learnt about it today... ... After the conversation with Zhao Ruoxin at the Upper Mansion, Yuan Zhe had returned to the Peace Mansion where the second son was staying. The architecture of the Peace Mansion was modeled after the Japaneses one bowl of soup concept. From the north to the south, the Peace Mansion was in the shape of a gigantic H. The block on the east side had three levels, which was where Yuan Tangzhong and Xue Meiwei lived. There were two floors on the west side, which was where Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya had moved into after they had married. In between the east and the west block was a ss corridor connecting both the wings. The parents and the children were near each other, yet they were not exactly living under the same roof. Furthermore, there was a huge public garden below. The Yuan Family Mansion stretched nearly a thousand acres, and the three sub-mansions were built to surround the Upper Mansion where Old Mistress lived. When Yuan Xuans parents were still alive, he had been living at the Longevity Mansion until he was five. After the Yuan Tangbai couple had passed away, Old Mistress had closed off the Longevity Mansion, afraid that it might evoke Yuan Xuans memories of the past. Hence, she hadmissioned for the single building, Hibiscus Garden, to be built for him near the Upper Mansion. Yuan Xuan had been living there since his return from overseas. However, this kind of special treatment was not extended to Yuan Zhe and Yuan Zhuan. Even after marrying, Yuan Zhe could only continue staying at his old mansion. Compared to the houses of the lower middle-ss folks who were struggling in Luo Hai City, the living conditions of the Yuan Family were considered extremely luxurious. To use a months pay of tens of thousands to pay for a house which cost a few ten thousand per square meter,boring continuously every month, gasping for breath under the weight of living in a fast-paced city, and thinking about that nagging bank loan that needs to be repaid this month; only a handful of people did not have to deal with this kind of lifestyle! Nheless, as statuses differed, so did the requirement for things. From Yuan Zhes perspective, although Hibiscus Garden was not that luxurious, yet, in such arge family, being able to own a single mansion was a kind of symbol of status. Moreover, the entire Southeast Region, Luo Hai, and Yuan Family would only pay attention to the Third Young Master. What about him, Eldest Young Master? Yuan Zhe had always felt inferior in this regard! This sense of imbnced was inherited from his father. He smoked a cigarette at the summer house downstairs. After that, he threw down the cigarette and stamped it into the soil. Everyone in the Yuan Family was a crook! As he thought of this, a strange smile appeared on Yuan Zhes dark face. When Wen Ya came out from the living room, she spotted him about to light a second cigarette. The gentle and considerate woman reached out to stop him and before asking softly, Where did you go to just now? Its sote and youre still smoking out here, unafraid of catching a cold... Yuan Zhe sneered coldly. The unrestrained and moody man looked at his wife with a sinister gaze. With regards to beauty, none in Luo Hai could rival Wen Ya. Back then, someone had evaluated the youngdies of the aristocratic families of Luo Hai, and Wen Ya was named one of the four great socialites. Moreover, when it came to talent, this woman was well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also capable of working independently in the outside world. As Yuan Zhe was involved in politics, there were times when he was not avable, so Wen Ya would represent him and help him to manage his businesses. The Yuan Familys stores thrived under her management, and even Yuan Xuanmended on his sister-inw on her talent. When it came to personality, even a picky woman such as Old Mistress Yuan was won over by Wen Ya. After Yuan Ran, Wen Ya was the mostpetent member of the family, ever moreso than him, the blood-rted grandson. Yuan Zhe suddenly reached out and pinched Wen Yas smooth and glowing cheek. He pinched so hard that Wen Yas pinkish face instantly became red. Chapter 108 - Only the Feet Knew Whether the Shoes Were Actually Comfortable

Chapter 108: Only the Feet Knew Whether the Shoes Were Actually Comfortable

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya knitted her brow due to the pain, and she grabbed Yuan Zhes arm to protest. Are you crazy? Youre hurting me. Let go! Yuan Zhe did not release his grip but shifted his hand to grab her sharp chin and mped down on it hard, his tone full of scorn. Wasnt Mrs Yuan tailing me just now? Didnt you see where I went? You know the answer, and yet you ask! Wen Ya trembled, but she could not lose her cool. She fixed her eyes on Yuan Zhe and coldly sneered. Ill have to ask then, where did Mr Yuan go off to just now? Are you actually afraid of being found out? Yuan Zhe appeared to have seen through this womans tricks. He held her slender swan-like neck with traces of a smile on his face. Then, heughed wickedly in an insolent manner. Wen Ya, your coaxing tricks are effective on Old Mistress, but dont you try them on me! You should have known what kind of man I am since the day your father sent you to my bed. Rather than concerning yourself with me, itll be better for you to first understand your ce! Wen Ya quivered from rage, and she closed her eyes, unwilling to take another look at this man! The insuppressible disgust, hatred, grief, and despair in her heart bubbled up from the depths of her heart. Yuan Zhe, throughout my entire life, the thing that I regret the most is listening to my fathers words to marry you... As Wen Ya spoke, a tear formed in her eye before it raced out of the corner of her eye, showing an unsufferable bitterness that even she herself could not bear to take. But since Im already married to you, I just hope that youll appreciate me... Were, after all, husband and wife... Wen Yas expression was of one in extreme agony. Such a gentle and amiable girl should be treated kindly, appreciated, and cherished no matter what! However, reality never turned out ording to how one wished. Yuan Zhe looked at Wen Yas exceedingly pretty face without batting an eyelid and growled sinisterly. Husband and wife? Dont think that Im unaware of the real reason why you married me! He forcefully released Wen Ya as he spoke. Who would want a woman like you if you were to actually step out of the Yuan Family? If you want to safely secure your status as Mrs Yuan, then know your ce and meddle less in my affairs! Otherwise, youll get more than what you bargained for! The woman lost her bnce and fell a few steps backward,nding heavily on the ground. She painfully lifted her head and met Yuan Zhes savage gaze. She couldnt turn away in time and was hurt by his cold stare. Wen Ya finally understood what an unwarmable stone was... Yuan Zhes face showed that she had only got herself to me! Yuan Zhe, Arent you aware of the reason... why Im trapped in the Yuan Family...? The words were caught in Wen Yas throat, and she began to choke up as she spoke, her thin shoulders shaking from the wild emotions. After so many years, dont you have... even just a smidgen of pity or guilt...? What do you think? Yuan Zhe scowled before turning around and entering the hall without sparing the miserable woman on the floor a second nce. Wen Ya sat on the ground. Traces of blood were oozing out of her palms as a result of the fall. She looked at her bloody hands and didnt feel any pain at all... The woman who was deeply sorrowful suddenly began tough. Her drooping head was buried deep into her knees, and she wasughing almost wildly in manner. Her shoulders were shaking, andrge drops of tears sshed onto the ground. She wasntughing at the situation, but herself, for being so foolish. After so many years, she was still living in a dream without any self-reflection! The pretense of love and blissfulness disyed in the Yuan Family before the outsiders was simr to putting on a pair of unfitting shoes. However, only the feet knew whether the shoes were actuallyfortable... Chapter 109 - Hopefully, Their Kids Would Have the Same Appetite As Her

Chapter 109: Hopefully, Their Kids Would Have the Same Appetite As Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Meanwhile, on the other side of thepound, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had officially entered a cold war. This woman was already conflicted between love and hate toward Yuan Xuan, but after overhearing the conversation he had with Grandmother, the word bedmate had been deeply ingrained into her brain. Now, every time she looked at Yuan Xuan, she would only be able to think of this. Yuan Xuan was not aware of the tremendous psychological change she had undergone. He just brushed it off as her being temperamental and throwing a fit. He felt that her mood would eventually improve if he left her alone for a while. Hence, he went about in his usual aloof and cold manner, not really too concerned. Mu Chenyan saw that he was not paying much attention to her and she concluded that her spection was correct. He did not care about her! If that was the case, then they would eventually go their separate ways. Not to mention, she had already been dispirited when it came to the intimate activity between a man and a woman. However, now that there was an emotional barrier in her heart, she would struggle to carry it out even more! Hence, whenever Yuan Xuan wanted to be affectionate with her, she would give all sorts of excuses to evade his advances. Sometimes, it would be that she was feeling unwell, while on other asions, she would pretend to be asleep while he was still bathing. Moreover, her menstruation had kindlye to visit her for a few days. So to sum it up, she had not needed to carry out her duty for more than half a month. Fortunately, her boss, Yuan Xuan, was rather lenient, so he tolerated her excuses. When Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan could be so easily bullied, she became bolder and gave the excuse that the tatami in the small tea room on the first floor was veryfortable and that she was able to keep warm better there. Thus, she eventually moved down to the first floor. Yuan Xuan, whos wife had warmed his bed for less than three months, went back to experiencing life as a bachelor. ... Yuan Xuan was annoyed, but he had no ce to vent. Hence, Yan Jun and Kang Yu had to bear the brunt of his frustrations. The two top-rated assistants did not know that the reason why their boss temper was so bad was that his desires were not being met! They just knew that this ck-faced king of hell was venting his frustrations by cruelly dealing with certain people. These people worked within the boundaries of Luo Hai and had been up to no good for some time, and Yuan Xuan had long wanted to take action against them. Although he should have acted sooner, when he dide around to it, he handled his task efficiently and coldly, which was a little abnormal... A few of the aristocratic families older generation could not sit still as the people he had targeted were their minions. With the Yuan Family not showing any mercy, the old folks filled up thepany lobby... The two assistants were deeply distressed. Tian Qi was slow by nature and did not know how to read peoples facial expression, hence he was not as troubled as the other two. The only changes he noted was that Yuan Xuan had recently lost his appetite. Tian Qi would help Yuan Xuan to finish his meals whenever thetter had leftovers. This was because having been an orphan when he was young, he knew what a waste it was to throw food away. Before he knew it, he had put on more than ten pounds this half a month... Tian Qi was stupefied! * As they entered the final parts of November, Luo Hais winter came suddenly, and the first snow caught everyone by surprise as it nketed the entire Southeast Region. However, even when it snowed, winter in Luo Hai was not that cold. The people who had not seen snow all year round viewed this first snowfall as a joyful event. It rarely snowed in the south. Those who grew up in Luo Hai would normally have to fly to the north if they wanted to watch the snow fall and witness this spectacr scene. Hence, the young and old in the Yuan Family excitedly ran to the courtyard to watch the snow after the news spread. It was definitely a jovial time! Old Mistress was so ted that she gave the order to the kitchen to have steamboat at the Upper Mansion that night to chase away the cold. Due to the petroleum development in the southeast sea region that they had conducted in coboration with the Shao Family, Yuan Xuan had be extremely preupied and had not had dinner with Old Mistress for a long time. Thus, Old Mistress called Yuan Xuan and urged him toe home early for dinner. Can the Shao Familys kide? Old Mistress Yuan was still thinking about her matchmaking role when she asked this. Oh, I forgot to inform Grandmother that Yibai has returned to the Capital City. Hell only be back muchter. It wouldnt be suitable for them to begin to project in winter, so after confirming the contract, Shao Yibai had gone back to the Capital City. There were still other important matters in the Shao Family that the heir was required to attend to! Old Mistress was slightly disappointed. Yuan Ran had mentioned a few times that it was not easy to meet Shao Yibai. Alright then, what does Little Xuan want to eat? Ill have the kitchen prepare it. He was Old Mistress most favored grandchild. Giving him preferential treatment was nothing unusual. Yuan Xuan recalled that his woman loved to eat seafood steamboat, so he gently requested, Little Xuans thinking of eating seafood. Old Mistress was so delighted that she could not help but smile from ear to ear. Whatever you want to eat, Ill have Butler Fu go buy. One can buy fresh seafood during any time and season in Luo Hai. Chapter 110 - She Had Simply Grown Arrogant from Being Over-Pampered

Chapter 110: She Had Simply Grown Arrogant from Being Over-Pampered

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After hanging up, Yuan Xuan could not help butugh at himself. In reality, he had a weak stomach since young, and he could not eat anything that was greasy or that could irritate his stomach. However, Mu Chenyan was a foodie. Hopefully, their kids would have the same appetite as her. As he thought about kids, Yuan Xuans heart suddenly skipped a beat and he began to have some doubts. He had been working hard to sow to seeds, but there seemed to be no response in that womans body. He began to regret the agreement he had with her. Three times per week? Was it too little? He was reviewing a document in his office and became lost in his thoughts thinking of that woman. He began to ridicule himself as he thought about the tri-weekly sessions. He had forgotten that that vicious woman, for some unknown reason, had been sleeping separately from him... She was getting increasingly bolder and had simply grown arrogant from being over-pampered! * The dinner was held in therge dining hall in the Upper Mansion. When Old Master was still around, he loved to be surrounded by people and to enjoy a lively atmosphere. Hence,ter on, he greatly expanded the size of this dining hall and had it renovated luxuriously as he dreamt of a lively scene where his children and grandchildren would dine together. The wide floral-carved sandalwood long table could seat more than 20 people around it without a problem. Old Mistress usually did not eat here. Nearer to the kitchen was a small dining room, which was where she normally had her meals when she was alone. Today there were many people, so the atmosphere in therge dining hall livened up very quickly. Old Mistress could not help but smile from ear to ear. When Yuan Xuan arrived with Mu Chenyan, the white marble bowls and chopsticks had already been ced in position, and the nice-looking small bronze charcoal pots had been readied. Butler Fu had purchased the old-fashioned small bronze single pots with came equipped with a charcoal burner specifically for the steamboat today. This was for two reasons C first, to keep warm, and second, because Old Mistress liked these kinds of traditional things. Since it was a proper gathering, it was best if Old Mistress was in the best possible mood. Everyone gathered around the table. Previously, each one of them had an assigned seating position. Old Mistress would sit at the head of the table, while the rest would be seated ording to their age and seniority. However, with the addition of Mu Chenyan and Zhao Ruoxin today, there was a slight change in their seating. Initially, Old Mistress had wanted Zhao Ruoxin to sit at the seat right beside her, but she did not expect Zhao Ruoxin toe up with her own n. Grandmother, Ill sit with the brothers and sisters, then we can talk easily... Old Mistress felt that this made sense. She hade to the Yuan Family some time back, and though she looked simr to Shu Qinger, she had not, after all, experienced living together with everyone yet. It would be good for her to take this opportunity to be more familiar with the other brothers and sisters. Yuan Tian stared at the woman with a suspicious re. She was trying to figure out what kind of trick Zhao Ruoxin was up to. Mu Chenyan had not spoken a word to Yuan Xuan from the moment they had entered the room. When they sat down, she stuck close to Yuan Tian. By doing so, she left an empty seat between her and Yuan Xuan. Meanwhile, Yuan Tian wanted to know if this woman would be so shameless as to sit beside Yuan Xuan in the presence of Mu Chenyan. She did not expect Zhao Ruoxin to really walk over and take a seat beside Yuan Xuan. Yuan Tian could not stand it, and just as she was about to blow her cool, Mu Chenyan tugged at her underneath the table and shook her head. Yuan Tian shot Mu Chenyan an enquiring gaze what is going between you and my brother? Did you two quarreled? Mu Chenyan did not want to talk about it. Although she was secretly disgusted by Zhao Ruoxins actions, she would just be asking for trouble if she were to stand up now and chase her away in the presence of Grandmother. Old Mistressover-protectiveness toward her was extremely obvious. Mu Chenyan was not stupid. If she were to voice out her annoyance in front of her, it would give Old Mistress the chance to reprimand her in front of everyone. Zhao Ruoxin was rather well-behaved as she sat down, smiling faintly andmenting, I heard from Grandmother that when Elder Sister was young, Elder Sister would always brazenly bother Brother Xuan during meal times. She would take have a bite after Elder Brother himself had a bite... Yuan Xuans cold face remained unchanged. It carried the same coldness, as if the story about Qinger she had just brought up had all but been forgotten by him! His eyes, however, were fixed on Mu Chenyan. Foolish woman. How can she allow others to sit beside her own husband just like that? Chapter 111 - Was This True Sisterly Love?

Chapter 111: Was This True Sisterly Love?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Miss Zhao, do you really know everything about Qingers childhood like the back of your hand? Yuan Tians sarcastic tone made Old Mistress slightly upset. This granddaughter of hers had never been easy to deal with... I told her those things! Old Mistress coldly stated. Upon hearing this, Yuan Tian intentionally remarked loudly, Oh, oh... She shot a nce at Zhao Ruoxin before carelessly continuing, Isnt Miss Zhao already over twenty years old? She was actually asking this question to see whether Zhao Ruoxin was still thinking of shamelessly acting like a child. Was she only going to eat after the man had taken a bite? Zhao Ruoxin had been cornered. Her face turned green for awhile before it went pale. She was rendered speechless. She was helpless when faced with the Fifth Miss of the Yuan Family who did not y her cards ording to the norm. Yuan Ran lowered her head but could not suppress herughter when she heard this. Meanwhile, Old Mistress looked like she wanted to explode and wished that she could chase Yuan Tian out there and then. Lu Shan was extremely annoyed by her own daughters tone. She angrily red at her and snapped, Youd better not say anything else! Yuan Tian ignored her and stuck her tongue out before subtly winking at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan felt that Yuan Tians zero-tolerance policy had really helped her live a good life. She was probably the only person in the Yuan Family who remained true to herself. Miss Zhao probably isnt as picky as Qinger. After all, Qinger was a child whom Grandmother had spoiled, Yuan Xuan suddenly said. When he looked at the little glutton Mu Chenyan andpared her to Qinger who had been spoiled by his grandmother when she was younger, he realized that she certainly did not eat as enthusiastically as Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuans eyes were indifferent when he nced at Mu Chenyan, but they were actually brimming with hidden affection and sympathy. Meanwhile, the refreshing smell of pine was emanating from mans body, detectable if you were within a certain distance. This sensation that bordered between abstinence and temptation could cause the downfall of any woman... However, his eyes were only for Mu Chenyan. Zhao Ruoxins mind faltered, both of her hands trembled, and her fingernails gently dug into her palm... When they were younger, Yuan Xuan and Qinger were both orphans. They lived in Upper Mansion together and were kept closely by Old Mistress side every day. The other children had their own parents to keep thempany and would onlye to Upper Mansion to have a meal during the family gatherings that were held every Saturday and Sunday. Thus, it was not surprising that Old Mistress adored Qinger far more than Yuan Tian, Yuan Zhuan, Yuan Zhe, and the others. Rtionships were not built on distance but on interactions. Miss Zhao grew up outside, unlike Qinger so your appetite is most probably better than hers. Qinger was very picky about her food... Yuan Xuan unenthusiastically replied before he shot a meaningful nce at Zhao Ruoxin. Mu Chenyan could tell from Yuan Xuans tone that he wanted to differentiate Shu Qinger and Zhao Ruoxin... It would be impossible for someone as observant as Zhao Ruoxin not to notice the implicit meaning behind Yuan Xuans words. She awkwardly smiled and replied, Thats right, I wasnt as lucky as my sister who had been by my grandmother and brothers side ever since she was young... Miss Zhao, youre exaggerating! Mu Chenyan suddenly interrupted Zhao Ruoxins speech. There was a dim me in her dark eyes as she quietly continued, Qinger wasnt lucky... Shes dead... Compared to someone who died a horrible death, the truly lucky one is the one sitting here today. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. This was the first time that Mu Chenyan had publicly mentioned Shu Qingers death by herself. Everyone else merely regarded this matter as an event that had already passed. However, the painful experiences and the unfair treatment she had experienced over the past two years would follow her relentlessly for the rest of her life... Everyone else decided to remain silent. They knew that it wasnt right for any of them to speak right now. Mu Chenyan and Zhao Ruoxin were the real victims here. Zhao Ruoxin went quiet for a while as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Yes, Mu Chenyans right, my sister is gone! Sometimes when I look at the pictures of my sister when she was younger, I feel like she was another version of myself that lived with the Yuan Family... Everyone became slightly emotional when they heard Zhao Ruoxin speak. Aside from Mu Chenyan, everyone here had connected deeply with Shu Qinger when she was younger. Youre right, Chenyan. My sisters life was miserable... From the beginning to the end, this aspect of Zhao Ruoxins behavior truly surprised everyone. Unlike everyone else, she had never once questioned the sole suspect Mu Chenyan... Even Feng Rao had been more suspicious than her! From another perspective, it seemed that Zhao Ruoxin was perhaps more concerned with Yuan Xuan than Shu Qinger... Was this true sisterly love? Chapter 112 - If Anyone Had the Right to Be Angry, It Was Mu Chenyan

Chapter 112: If Anyone Had the Right to Be Angry, It Was Mu Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was an awkward silence. Alright, but whats the point of saying these things? Old Mistress Yuan suddenly spoke up, she clearly did not want to hear anyone mentioning Qingers death in front of her. This matter was like a thorn that was deeply embedded in her heart. It would not hurt if other people did not bother it, but a single touch was enough to make her heart stop. As the elders of the second generation of the Yuan Family, Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo would usually not participate in these discussions. However, they got up and coaxed their mother the second she flew into a rage. Mother, its in the past so dont be upset. Once the real killer has been found and executed, well conduct a ritual for Qinger so that her soul can find peace. When Mu Chenyan heard this, she sneered to herself. No matter the circumstance, Yuan Tangzhong was an important official in the political circles. Was he not above talking about superstitious matters like performing rituals to appease souls? One could immediately tell how dominant Old Mistress position was in the Yuan Family. Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin quietly shed tears upon hearing Yuan Tangzhong say this. When she thought of how her beautiful sister was gone from this world while the real killer remained atrge, she wanted to mourn. Grandmother, has there been any more news from the police station? My sisters soul may be protected in heaven but we should hurry up and arrest the killer... Zhao Ruoxin cried while glimpsing at Mu Chenyan from the corner of her eye. Chenyan had an indifferent expression on her face as her gaze remained quiet and elusive. There was no one else in this house who was as anxious as her to arrest the killer. Not only had that person cruelly murdered someone and gotten rid of the body, they had also framed her and ruined her wedding! Furthermore, she had not been with her parents during their ident two years ago because she was suffering in jail... If anyone had the right to be angry, it was Mu Chenyan! Those pigs are just a bunch of freeloaders! There hasnt been any developments over the past few years even though weve been pouring money into their various funds to support them. When Old Mistress Yuan heard what Ruoxin said, her temper soared. Grandmother, dont get mad. Those people arent idiots. Think about it, didnt they already do their duty by arresting Mu Chenyan for you? Since they had already found a scapegoat, why would they need to go the extra mile to investigate further? Yuan Tian spoke in a tantly mocking tone. If I was there, I wouldve questioned the people who were making baseless charges against Mu Chenyan. What would have motivated her to murder someone? Yuan Xuan is indeed exceptional but Mu Chenyan is not far behind either! Those people knew absolutely nothing about Mu Chenyan... When Mu Chenyan heard Yuan Tians biting words, her entire body trembled. She lowered her head so that her gloomy expression could not be seen. Meanwhile, the innocent woman held Yuan Tians hand under the table. It was so cold that it was as if she had lost all the heat in her body. Apparently, the person who knew her best all along was Yuan Tian... Yuan Tian was not in Luo Hai when the incident happened two years ago. When the earth-shattering usations were directed at Mu Chenyan, even the members of the Mu Family did not daree out and help her. If Yuan Tian had been there, Mu Chenyan firmly believed that her best friend would have kept her word and risked her life to protect her. When Yuan Xuan looked at his younger sister, a rare smile appeared on the arrogant mans face. Indeed, if Yuan Tian were present at the time, the matters with the police would definitely not have proceeded so smoothly C this girl would have caused a great disturbance! Tian Tian! You wont be satisfied until you anger your father and I to death... Lu Shan held back tears as her daughter rendered her speechless from rage. When Yuan Tian took this stance in directly calling out Mu Chenyans users, she was inadvertently including Old Mistress as well. This was the first time that Yuan Tangshuo had met Mu Chenyan at a family reunion. Out of respect for his elders, it was inappropriate for him to overstep, even if his daughter was speaking on behalf of Mu Chenyan. Tian Tian, mind your manners when you speak! Yuan Tangshuo was the most famous military doctor in Luo Hai. His strict personality was not devoid of kindness. Thus, he was a stern but loving father who would never harbor any resentment like Yuan Tian. It looks to me like youve spoiled your daughter! Old Mistress looked at her third son and furiously snapped. Too afraid to retaliate, Yuan Tangshuo just nodded and said, Ill go home and teach her a lesson. Chapter 113 - His Voice Was Not Loud But It Was Extremely Intimidating

Chapter 113: His Voice Was Not Loud But It Was Extremely Intimidating

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong scanned his surroundings before suddenly saying, From my perspective, this case isnt such a simple matter. As Mu Chenyan currently holds the status of the wife of the Yuan Familys eldest grandson, Im worried that this murder will affect the Yuan Familys reputation if it isnt meticulously investigated. When Yuan Tian heard this, she felt unhappy. Second Uncles words insinuated that Mu Chenyan was sitting here without beingpletely absolved of her crimes. Second Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Mu Chenyan! Despite being the Yuan Familys granddaughter-inw, no one spoke on her behalf when she suffered for two years. What exactly is the point of each and every one of you pretending to be so grand toward the public when this is the way you actually behave? Yuan Tangzhong was evidently furious when he heard Yuan Tians scathingly criticism. He briefly red at Yuan Tian before he turned to Yuan Tangshuo and said, You should properly discipline your daughter! Yuan Tangshuo was apparently more lenient than Lu Shan. He shook his head at Lu Shan, signaling for her not to scold Yuan Tian again. Meanwhile, Yuan Ran silently reveled in their misery from the sidelines. When she saw that Yuan Tian always getting into trouble, she realized that it made her look more obedient byparison. She secretly smiled at her sister-inw Wen Ya who sat opposite her and said, The daughters-inw and the adopted daughters of the Yuan Family are better received by Old Mistress than Tian Tian! Well I guess thats expected since she persistently tries to get close to Mu Chenyan... birds of a feather really do flock together... Wen Ya was not usually a talkative or quarrelsome person, so even as Yuan Ran judged her cousins in front of her, she merely smiled as her gazended on Mu Chenyan. As someone who held the same ranking as her, Wen Yas gaze was sorrowful and full of sympathy. If that incident had not urred two years ago, it was possible that Chenyan would have been the daughter-inw with the highest rank in the household. Besides, Yuan Tian was only stating the truth. Neither Yuan Tangzhongs position in the political circle nor Yuan Xuans prestige in the business world could prevent Mu Chenyan from being falsely imprisoned for two years. Moreover, they were now worried that she would affect the Yuan Familys reputation. These men were really terrible! Yuan Xuan was silent, it was as though ink had been spilled into his dark eyes. Meanwhile, the maid had arranged their cutlery and food after cing it on the table. The little copper pot was already filled with glowing charcoal and the mes reflected off the metal and onto everyones faces, giving them a reddish glow. He took his chopsticks and elegantly picked up a few pieces of shrimp before tly saying, We came here to apany our grandmother for dinner tonight. We can gossip another time. His voice was not loud but it was extremely intimidating. His piercingly cold pupils were devoid of any emotion or color. They resembled a dark abyss that engulfed everyones misced courage to continue speaking. This was not up for discussion; it was an order. Everyone, including Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo, went quiet as Yuan Xuan likewise continued to enjoy his meal. However, unrest was stirring in Yuan Tangzhongs heart. He did not appear dissatisfied, but his heart was in turmoil. It already seemed like amon urrence for Yuan Xuan to boss people around despite being part of the younger generation of the Yuan Family. Furthermore, he was one of the younger boys among the juniors. The Yuan Family had always been clear-cut regarding the order of seniority between the seniors and juniors. However, Yuan Xuan had never been restrained because his father had been simrly overbearing when he was alive... This little b*stard was all grown up! He was no longer the confused and ignorant youth from the past. Yuan Tangzhong felt faintly remorseful for belittling his nephew in the past. On the other hand, Yuan Xuans gaze lingered on Yuan Tangzhong for half a minute before the corners of his mouth curled up faintly. He exhaled before greeting his uncle with a mysterious smile... Yuan Zhe spotted Yuan Xuans gaze meet his fathers. Although Yuan Xuan was Eldest Sons child, he was younger than most of the younger generation. It would be fine if he swaggered around outside, but this was an autocratic family reunion. Nheless, Yuan Zhe looked at his grandmother and noticed that she did not seem to have any intentions of stopping him. Conversely, she was allowing him to speak. Yuan Zhe clenched his fist under the table as his breathing became uneven. Even Wen Ya who was beside him could sense his abnormally murderous aura. However, Old Mistress did not notice these hidden signs. She was busy racking her brains about why Yuan Xuans attitude towards Qingers murder had always been so ambiguous. He had requested for Qingers body to be buried in the Yuan Familys cemetery from the very beginning. However, she had never gotten a clear answer when she asked him if Qingers child was truly his... Chapter 114 - Mu Chenyan, Can You Be More Observant?

Chapter 114: Mu Chenyan, Can You Be More Observant?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion If Yuan Xuan had thought of Mu Chenyan as the true killer, then he would not have taken her back and the situation wouldnt have developed as such, right? If he knew that Mu Chenyan had been wrongly used but had neither spent those few years frantically looking for the real killer, nor attempt to save Mu Chenyan and bring her home, then what was that child actually thinking? ld Mistress unconsciously sighed. This household looked calm, but there were actually powerful currents secretly surging underneath. However, she was not energetic enough to keep up anymore due to her old age. After Yuan Xuan spoke up, nobody dared bring up that sensitive topic anymore. Since they did not discuss this subject, dinner proceeded in a slightly smoother manner. Even Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe once again went back to looking like a loving couple in front of everyone again. Yuan Zhe frequently picked up the vegetables that his wife liked to eat and ced them in her little copper pot to cook them for her. Their intimate interactionscked neither eye contact nor verbalmunication. Since the graze on Wen Yas hand inconvenienced her, Yuan Zhe even helped her peel the prawns... Needless to say, the two married couples from the older generation were also deeply in love despite spending many years together. However, Poor Yuan Xuan was separated from his wife because Zhao Ruoxin was seated between them. That spoiled girl always gave him a headache. Nearby, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian had endless topics to discuss. The previous subject had not affected their mood at all. When Mu Chenyan ate the delicious food, the desires and uneasiness in her heart subsided. Since she was enjoying the meal, she did not feel so lonely. When she saw that Mu Chenyan was acting rather indifferent toward Yuan Xuan, Zhao Ruoxin tried to be friendlier with the man. She looked for numerous topics to get pass Yuan Xuans line of defense while referring to him as Brother Xuan the whole time. In the end, she was hindered by Yuan Xuan who only gave her curt replies. Yuan Xuan ate in an elegant manner which made the food in his hand resemble pieces of art. Despite being probed by Zhao Ruoxin every step of the way, he maintained a polite but distant smile on his face from beginning to end. Zhao Ruoxin felt frustrated when she saw that she was getting rejected,pletely unaware of her own shorings. When Yuan Ran who was seated opposite her saw this, she suddenly recalled something. Had the same situation not transpired between her and Shao Yibai? Ever since her grandmother had begun intentionally acting as her matchmaker, she had privately met with Shao Yibai several times. However, she had to take the initiative to move things along or create opportunities. The whole time, Shao Yibai kept to his appointments and behaved in an extremely polite and well-mannered way. However, Yuan Ran often felt a sense of helplessness because she wanted to get close to him but could not seem to bridge the gap... Yuan Xuans attitude towards Zhao Ruoxin was extremely simr to Shao Yibais toward her. For instance, when Zhao Ruoxin purposely acted in a spoiled manner and attempted to get Yuan Xuan to help her grab some crabs earlier, Yuan Xuan merely gently pushed the tray of crabs in front of her. Right from the start, he was unwilling to use his chopsticks to help her... Yuan Xuans indifferent behavior made Zhao Ruoxin extremely uneasy during the meal. Conversely, Mu Chenyan happily ate beside them. Firstly, the food certainly suited her appetite. Secondly, she was happy to be idle and free since she did not have to pander to Yuan Xuan. Men cared about things more when they could not attain them C things that were simply given to them were often seen as nd and uninteresting... Since Yuan Tian could not understand Mu Chenyans moves, she simply felt disgusted when she saw Zhao Ruoxin fawning over the taken man. Yuan Tian charged full speed ahead because she hated these evil women as if they were her worst enemy. She had already quietly expressed her sympathy for Zhao Ruoxins rtives earlier, but she was going to drag her Aunt Flow into it too now. Look at her trying to court his favor like that... Oh my God! Shes really pissing me off. Did she break her arms? Why does she need someone else to get food for her? My goodness! Her tone is so whiny. Could it be that its that time of the month for her? Mu Chenyan was stunned. She could not understand what whining had to do with periods. Mu Chenyan, can you be more observant? When she noticed that Mu Chenyan was not reacting to any of the curses she had been muttering, Yuan Tian simply directed her criticism at the gluttonous Mu Chenyan instead. Im not a sea prawn, Im a crab... 1 Mu Chenyan picked up a piece of the crab and gestured at Yuan Tian. She mimicked the cartoon character Spongebobs voice and pretended to speak like Mr Krabs, Great Tian Tian, could you please enjoy your food so that our brothers and sisters wouldnt have had to die in vain? Hmm? She then burst intoughter after teasing Yuan Tian. Yuan Xuan saw the intimate interactions between these two sisters-inw. The corners of his mouth turned upward while a sliver of hope glinted in his eyes. This woman still possessed her mischievous trait from the past... Chapter 115 - Call Me Fifth Miss

Chapter 115: Call Me Fifth Miss

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zhao Ruoxin was unaware that Yuan Xuans smile was aimed at Mu Chenyan. In spite of everything, she became rather delighted when she noticed that Yuan Xuan seemed to now be in a good mood. She continued speaking, Brother Xuan, do you think that we can stay at Liu Li Vi for a few more days this time around? Yuan Xuan was not actually paying attention to what Zhao Ruoxin had said earlier. He had merely been looking in Mu Chenyans direction. He did not think that Zhao Ruoxin would misunderstand and assume that he was agreeing to her suggestion. He furrowed his eyebrows before recalling that he had indeed promised to take her to Liu Li Vi so that she could stay there and sketch at Wintry Lake. How many days were they going to stay there? He had not decided that yet. What? Brother, youre taking her to Liu Li Vi? Yuan Tian was clearly shocked. Her mouth was still stuffed with food that was all exposed when her jaw dropped. Her little face reddened as she tried to hold everything in. Mu Chenyan was not surprised because she had learned about this a long time ago. Nheless, Yuan Tians reaction was too extreme. Worried that she would choke, Mu Chenyan hastily instructed the maid to bring some warm water for her to wash down her food. Yuan Tian gasped for breath as if she was choking. Sheined, Why are you taking her there? Although Liu Li Vi was the Yuan Familys property, Yuan Xuan would usually send other people to manage it. Frankly speaking, it was Yuan Xuans private property. Since he was a proud person, Yuan Xuan maintained a certain distance from everything around him and had certain boundariesid out. No one usually dared to trespass into his domain without obtaining his permission first. Chenyan, are you going? Clearly unhappy, Yuan Tian then asked Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan shook her head but did not look in Yuan Xuans direction as she quietly replied, Im not going! Hes taking Ruoxin there! What? Itll just be the two of them there? Mu Chenyan, are you stupid? While speaking, Yuan Tian reached her hand out and felt Mu Chenyans forehead, as if she was worried that she had gotten a fever... Mu Chenyans reaction was too indifferent, it would probably be better her to show at least a little jealousy... Yuan Xuan thought of the unfair treatment that he experienced over the past few days. This woman had inexplicably turned him into a monk although he was clearly a married man. She currently appeared unconcerned that her own husband was taking another woman on holiday. Because of this, Yuan Xuans emotions were at their limits. He leaned back against his chair before scrutinizing Mu Chenyan with his dark gaze. Did he actually want this woman to start bing envious? He suddenly snapped back to reality as he brushed his own imagination aside. Youve seriously annoying me! Yuan Tian lowered her voice and growled softly, worried that her grandmother would scold her again if she overheard. She really could not imagine that Mu Chenyan would allow her brother to bring another woman to Liu Li Vi. Although they would not act rashly because they were eyes always transfixed on them in the form of stationed maids at the vi, there was still a probability two people developing an attraction for each other when together. Did Mu Chenyan really not care? Mu Chenyans expression was carefree. She leisurely smiled because she knew that Yuan Xuans gaze was fixed on her while her white jade-like fingers gingerly peeled the prawns. During the meal, Yuan Zhe who was seated opposite her meticulously took care of his own wife while Wen Ya also appeared to be enjoying herself. Conversely, since Zhao Ruoxin was sandwiched between Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan, the couple did not interact with each other at all during the meal. Mixed feelings emerged in Mu Chenyans heart as she thought about this third party who had mysteriously appeared and insisted on following her man on holiday... There were still traces of uneasiness in her heart. Thus, she was focused on peeling the prawns to distract herself. Big Tian, do you want toe along? Yuan Tian became extremely unhappy when Zhao Ruoxin called her Big Tian. Call me Fifth Miss! Yuan Tian was somewhat brazen as she snapped. It was only eptable for Qinger to call me Big Tian. Although Qinger and her were not close, Qinger had indeed referred to her by this nickname in the past. This was a reminder to Zhao Ruoxin that although she looked exactly like Qinger, she was not her. Zhao Ruoxin was so surprised that she couldnt even blush. She embarrassedly smiled and exined, Grandmother gave me permission to go. I wanted to go to Wintry Lake to sketch and Brother Xuan coincidentally wanted to go there for a holiday and rest as well. Since Liu Li Vi belongs to him, I obviously need to obtain the owners approval... Chapter 116

Chapter 116: The Person Who Did Not Even Lift a Finger Had Gained the Most Stunning Victory

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart, What the hell?! Whos she trying to scare by mentioning Grandmother for no reason? She scolded in her heart but her lips could not say those words. Her bright eyes nced at Zhao Ruoxin before she quietly said, Sketching is just a false pretense, right? Wouldnt your hands freeze if you sat there drawing on such a cold day? Youre worrying too much, Fifth Miss! Brother Xuan will take the necessary measures to take care of us. Zhao Ruoxin was very intelligent. Since she knew that she could not offend someone like Yuan Tian who did not y her cards ording to valid reasons, she chose to avoid her sharp attacks by turning to Yuan Xuan instead. When Yuan Tian realized that her next move was blocked here, she pondered before settling on an alternative path. In a delicate voice, the doe-eyed beauty turned to Yuan Xuan and yelled, Brother Xuan... You shoulde along! Yuan Xuan resounding and sonorous voice said before Yuan Tian could open her mouth and speak. The side of the handsome and thought-provoking mans face was shrouded in faint and gentle orange-colored rays while every syble that flowed out of his thin lips were bouncy and stic. Moreover, they were iparably magnificent, husky, and deep... Stunned, Zhao Ruoxin quietly said, What? You want to bring her along? Im ecstatic! My heart is jumping for joy! Yuan Tian could not restrain herself from bing emotional. On the side, Mu Chenyan was slightly dumbfounded as well. Unable to understand this, she cast a puzzled nce at Yuan Xuan but his stern face remained almost nk before he forced a smile at her... Brother, it wouldve been better if you werent my brother! Although it was difficult to calm her down earlier, Yuan Tian intentionally revealed a starry-eyed expression before she continued to speak in an indulgent manner. Yuan Xuan looked at Yuan Tian and indifferently said, Whats wrong? Are you upset having me as your brother? Yuan Tian frantically exined and said, No, thats not it! I meant that youre too cool and too nice! If you werent my brother, I could fall in love with you, pursue you, and pester you like a certain woman who lingers on... Yuan Xuan, ... Mu Chenyan, ... Zhao Ruoxin, ... After Yuan Tian had disrupted her ns like this, Zhao Ruoxin became slightly frazzled. She had initially nned to follow Yuan Xuan to Liu Li Vi and reveal her feelings for him while they were in a romantic setting with only the two of them there. She had never anticipated this unexpected obstacle. Furthermore, Yuan Tian was probably one of the scariest obstacles... No one knew what Fifth Miss was afraid of. Id originally nned to bring someone else along. Seeing Zhao Ruoxins pretty little face had darkened, Yuan Xuan tly said, It wouldve been extremely inconvenient for a man and woman like us to be together by ourselves. Zhao Ruoxin gave an awkward smile before she gently said, Yes, it would be good if Fifth Miss came along too! At least there would be someone to talk to me... She nced at Yuan Tian but the look on Big Tians face clearly insinuated in your dreams... Mu Chenyan felt that Yuan Xuans gaze resembled numerous sharp swords that carved every inch of her body. The scorching, unhidden sharpness gave Mu Chenyan immense pressure. His faint menacing aura made Mu Chenyan too afraid to even raise her head to look at him. Yuan Xuan was really furious now. This woman seemed indifferent and unconcerned. Moreover, Yuan Tian was participating in the battle of jealousy on her behalf as well. Yuan Xuans face looked extremely terrible but he still maintained his elegant demeanor. He reached his hand out and took a handcrafted embroidered handkerchief before gently wiping the corners of his mouth with it. He said lightly, My appetite hasnt been welltely but the rest of you should take your time and eat. The banquet had just started but Yuan Xuan had not eaten much at all. How did he maintain the attractive and well-built muscles on his body? In her heart, Mu Chenyan was clearly aware that the mans appetite had worsened because he was recently upset. Thus, it seemed that she had gone slightly overboard by heartlessly eating in such a joyful manner. She quietly ced her chopsticks down and stopped eating as well. Yuan Xuan felt slightly remorseful when he caught a glimpse of her minute actions. Perhaps she was not full yet. When he thought of this, he became annoyed and sighed inwardly to himself. This woman could control his emotions without batting an eyelid. Thus, the person who did not even lift a finger had gained the most stunning victory Chapter 117 - Mu Chenyan... You...

Chapter 117: Mu Chenyan... You...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Zhao Ruoxin saw that the threads of the embroidered silk handkerchief that Yuan Xuan used were so fine that they resembled fine snow at the beginning of spring, she could not help but reach her hand out and stroke it. She quietly said, Brother is truly an exquisite man. Even your handkerchief is so delicate... Yuan Xuan had just wiped the corners of his mouth with it. He did not know whether this woman had intentionally caressed that spot with her slender fingers. Nheless, her ambiguous intentions were indescribable. The people who were present were all adults who understood her blunt actions seeing it... Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was unhappy with the previously happy couple which she had turned into a trio now. The silly intentions she had for Yuan Xuan were revealed without any reservations. However, no one could understand why she expressed those thoughts in such a straightforward manner. Even if Yuan Xuan had really harbored feelings for Qinger in the past, her twin sister should not have behaved like this because she was not actually involved, right? Ruoxin, the fire from your charcoal is going to be extinguished soon. Let me add some for you. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan quietly piped up and interrupted Zhao Ruoxins love-struck state. Zhao Ruoxin slowly returned to her senses before she looked down and realized that the burning coal under her own pot had indeed smoldered. Mu Chenyan used the metal tongs that were encased in a stic handle to pick up some of the burning coal from underneath her pot. She moved them beside Zhao Ruoxin and said, Im not eating anymore. Since the coal is still hot, Ill give you a few pieces... Zhao Ruoxin did not decline when she saw Mu Chenyan moving some of the coal over. Suddenly she screamed and everyone at the table was shocked. Chenyan... You... Zhao Ruoxin sobbed and jumped up from her seat. Her hands were sped together while her tears and sweat simultaneously trickled down. Yuan Xuan who was very close to her was the first one to realize the problem. He frantically turned his head and beckoned the maid, saying, Quickly, bring ice cubes and burn ointment here! Everyone immediately understood that a piece of burning charcoal had happened to fall on Zhao Ruoxins wrist when Mu Chenyan was passing it to her. It was total chaos! The maid hurriedly brought ointment and bandages from the medicine cab. Old Mistress came over in a distressed state and consoled Ruoxin while ming Mu Chenyan. You werent mindful at all. Youre so careless! The burns have caused such huge blisters on her beautiful, fair, and soft little hands... Zhao Ruoxins cries had probably worsened because the burns certainly hurt very badly. Numerousrge blisters were starting to form. Nheless, she was pleased when she heard Grandmother ming Mu Chenyan... Mu Chenyan coldly looked at Zhao Ruoxin. Her expression remained unchanged although Old Mistress was criticizing her. Yuan Xuan waspletely silent now but an arrogant air drifted forth from his entire body, making him cold and unapproachable. Since Zhao Ruoxin was pampered since childhood, that was probably why both her hands were devoid of the slightest blemishes while her skin was fair and smooth. Her slender fingertips faintly trembled. Now that she was burned by the coal, it hurt even when she looked at it, much so since burn wounds were originally the most painful among all the external injuries. Mu Chenyan had thoroughly experienced this kind of pain before... Old Mistress criticism did not even stop for a minute! Mu Chenyans gaze fell on Yuan Xuan but the man lowered his face. Although he did not me Mu Chenyan, he did not help her either when Old Mistress scolded... The others were unaware of the specific details regarding the previous incident but now that this ident had urred, no one was in the mood to eat, especially when they saw how anxious their Grandmother looked. The maid removed the items on the table. Since the three brothers of the Yuan Family all came from medical backgrounds, it was their moment toe forward now. Yuan Tangshuo was a cool-headed and calm person. Since he felt that it was inconvenient for him to handle this because of his status as her uncle, he said to Yuan Tian, You should go and help Ruoxin manage the wound. It shouldnt be a serious issue. Saving lives and treating injuries were the distinctive characters of doctors. Moreover, since Mu Chenyan had caused this ident and her father had given his instructions, Yuan Tian had to undertake this task no matter what. Chapter 118 - You Are Adequately Thick-Skinned

Chapter 118: You Are Adequately Thick-Skinned

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wrap some ice in cling film and use it as a coldpress for a while to reduce the pain. Yuan Tian did a quick examination before giving the instruction. Stepping into the doctors role, Yuan Tian ceased to be mischievous and seemed as though she had transformed into another person. She took a slim needle that was used for acupuncture from the households medical kit. Next, she took hydrogen peroxide, iodine, and cotton swabs to properly disinfect the wounds. If I dont burst the blisters, theyll get easily infected if you graze or rupture them on your own but theyll speedily heal if I open, disinfect, and apply ointment on them now. Yuan Tian quietly exined and consoled seeing Zhao Ruoxinsplexion had turned pale as she cried and sweated profusely from the pain. Zhao Ruoxins voice quivered as she asked, Will it hurt? Will it leave scars? What if my hands arent pretty anymore... She cried and became sadder when she spoke. Yuan Tian raised her head to look at her. She suddenly realized that this woman was rather pitiful because she was brainless. She was still thinking about whether she would be beautiful in the future despite her current predicament. Other people may have scars but that wouldnt happen to you. Yuan Tian prolonged her words on purpose when she spoke. Why wont it happen to me? She ignorantly asked because she could not detect the implicit meaning behind Yuan Tians words. Yuan Tian pondered before she earnestly answered, Thats because youre... hmm... adequately thick-skinned... Yuan Tian was really too mischievous! Mu Chenyan could not help herself from wanting tough when she heard this. However, she knew that this was hardly an appropriate asion to do so. When Zhao Ruoxin also realized that Yuan Tian was speaking in a roundabout manner, her little face that was initially pale then turned purplish-red instead. However, she could look at Yuan Xuan pitifully because it was inappropriate for her to throw a tantrum. Yuan Xuan unconsciously gazed at Mu Chenyan before looking back at Zhao Ruoxin. The former was calm and quiet while thetter looked pitiful and pathetic. The man faintly smiled but did not interfere with his cousins atrocious behavior. Its fine. Trust Tian Tian. Although she can be blunt with her words, her skills are not bad. Yuan Xuans words were meant tofort Zhao Ruoxin. However, he had provoked Yuan Tian by consoling Zhao Ruoxin. Since she did not dare to directly defy Yuan Xuan, she shot daggers with her gaze instead. She thought to herself, Hes calling me rude although he was the one who spurred on so many love affairs because of his devilishly good looks? ? There were supposedly no more problems once her wounds were fully treated. However, when Old Mistress saw that Zhao Ruoxins eyes now resembled rotten peaches from all that crying, she felt that Mu Chenyan had be a bigger eyesore. She felt that this matter would not be resolved if she did not settle the score for Ruoxin. Why are you so careless? Adding charcoal to increase the fire was the maids job in the first ce. Not only were you unable to do it on your own, you even dragged Ruoxin into this... Old Mistress face looked extremely terrible. Although she was expected to have mellowed at her age, her sternness was enough to stifle others whenever a hint of rage appeared in her eyes... Zhao Ruoxin immediately responded in a gentle voice and said, Grandmother, you dont have to me Chenyan. I was careless and couldnt avoid it while Chenyan was merely being kind and helping me. If you scold her, Ill feel extremely apologetic deep down instead. Look at Ruoxin, shes kind and honest from the bottom of her heart. Are you still unwilling to apologize to her? Grandmothers tone was already extraordinarily solemn. The entire household held their breath as they were too afraid to imagine how everything would turn out if Mu Chenyan refused to apologize. Previously, Mu Chenyan could not fully understand why Old Mistress did not like her. However, she finally figured it out after slowly mulling over it... To the Old Mistress, Yuan Xuan was not merely her grandson but her personal property in a sense. Thus, Mu Chenyans presence resembled an outsider who wanted to snatch away her belongings... Chapter 119 - Yuan Xuan Who Silently Remained on the Sidelines All Along Was Suddenly Set in Motion

Chapter 119: Yuan Xuan Who Silently Remained on the Sidelines All Along Was Suddenly Set in Motion

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The corners of Mu Chenyans mouth curled into a faint smile while she continued to appear indifferent. She remained silent to rebuff Old Mistress. This woman who was very close to Yuan Tian had been influenced by that girls innate unruliness. She looked delicate and feeble but she was actually stubborn right down to the bone. It was still eptable because Yuan Tian was a member of the Yuan Family but Mu Chenyan was not given that her surname is Mu. What right did she have to behave in an atrocious manner in front of her? Are you going to apologize to Ruoxin or not? Old Mistress coldly ordered. Wen Ya hurriedly but discreetly tugged at Mu Chenyans cuff while whispering, It doesnt matter if you just apologize. Itll be fine once you say it... Dont make Grandmother angry! Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya was a peacemaker but it was difficult for Mu Chenyan to utter those words when she saw Zhao Ruoxins whimpering state. Frankly, it did not hurt enough for her to cry like this. Zhao Ruoxin deliberately wanted to embarrass her. Once she had apologized, the entire Yuan Family would look down on her. This female outsider had such clear intentions to stir Yuan Xuans thoughts in front of her. Did she actually have to meekly apologize to her despite being the true wife who was ced in a terribly demeaning state? Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Her entire body was cold but her gaze was extremely firm. Her attitude had already determined that she would refuse to do this. Although Zhao Ruoxin saw the refusal that filled Mu Chenyans face, she did as she pleased because of Grandmothers presence that resulted in such immense pressure. She loudly sobbed without wasting another moment... Everyone looked at Mu Chenyan, expressing through their confused and criticized gazes that she was unaware of her own strength. She waspletely abandoned once again. The scene was so familiar. This resembled her wedding banquet two years ago when she was dragged away from among thousands of lily flowers by the police in her snow-white wedding dress. Under the camera shlights, the former number one socialite and the daughter-inw of the Yuan Familys eldest grandson had instantly descended to the lowest point of her life. However, not a single person had stepped forward to support her. Grandmother has already said that she was being careless, I think thats settled. Since Mu Chenyan has a headache, Ill take her home to rest. Yuan Xuan who silently remained on the sidelines all along was suddenly set in motion. His wife protection mode had been directly activated. Her back briefly felt warm as Mu Chenyans icy body directly fell into the crooks of the mans deep and strong arms. She was unhurriedly hit by that familiar and refreshing pine scent. Before she could reject him in time, he was already tightly pressing himself against her. When his zing body heat drifted over, it waspletely filled with strength. The crooks of his arms were excessively warm. To her surprise, she unconsciously felt that she wanted to stay there without having toe out. This also made her forgot that they were still in the middle of a cold war... Yuan Xuan practiced what he preached. He had perfectly proven that he would be by her side even if everyone was finding fault with her. Mu Chenyan was instantly touched. This embrace was two yearste... Headache? Why does she have a headache again? Old Mistress was so furious that her lips were quivering slightly. Mu Chenyan was inwardly amused by this. Was this man unable to find a different excuse? I dont have a headache! Mu Chenyan whispered but her tone was gentle. She resembled a naughty little cat, using her ws to scratch the innermost part of his itching heart. Pretend that it hurts even if it doesnt! Yuan Xuan said in all seriousness. His dignified tone made him resemble a decent public figure. He did not even turn his gaze towards her while his voice was lowered to a volume that could only be heard by the both of them. Mu Chenyan was slightly stunned. She could not clearly determine her own feelings towards Yuan Xuan either. Nheless, her current emotions made her reluctant to leave. She gently rubbed herself against his body like a stray cat that had wandered around outside for too long. Now that she had finally found a warm nest, she could not help herself from burrowing inside it. She terribly wished that he had stood by her side like this two years ago. She would have continued to love him the same way she did in the beginning while the Mu Chenyan of today would not exist... ... When Old Mistress realized that Yuan Xuan wanted to help that girl and speak on her behalf again, she had nowhere to disce the anger that she had umted over numerous asions. Her expression hardened as if she was slowly extinguishing the burning rage in her heart. After all, Old Mistress already knew how to properly control a scene and her own emotions because she was a person who had experienced numerous decades worth of trials. Yuan Xuan was not an ordinary child. He was already used to behaving in a proud manner since his childhood because he was pampered for many years. Moreover, his parents were not there to apany him either. Thus, he only respected a few people. If they argued, she was truly worried that he would not just ept it... Despite her entire reputation and the presence of respect, she had prioritized her deep sentiments that were rted to being fiercely protective of her own. By remaining silent, Old Mistress had indicated that she would not intefere with Yuan Xuans attitude. Grandmother, since theres nothing more to say, Ill take Chenyan home then. As for Ruoxin, I hope that itll be alright for me to leave her in Third Uncles care. Yuan Xuan made the arrangements and nodded at Yuan Tangshuo to indicate that. While everyone fixed their astonished gazes on him, Yuan Xuan held Mu Chenyans slim waist before his imposing and dark figure vanished into the night. This was surprising because Yuan Xuan had always been extremely respectful towards Old Mistress before this despite his overbearing personality... Mu Chenyans arrival meant that the Yuan Family would undergo great changes... Chapter 120 - Looks Like I Had Really Underestimated A Vixen Like You

Chapter 120: Looks Like I Had Really Underestimated A Vixen Like You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The weather in Luo Hai was excessively warm. The first snowfall melted as soon as it hit the ground, its traces remained wetting the road surface making it slightly slippery. Yuan Xuan shielded Mu Chenyan as they left. When they passed through the little garden and underneath therge tree, he suddenly pressed the woman in his arms against the tree bark in a swift motion. The piercingly cold and uninhibited light in his ambiguously dark pupils caused Mu Chenyan to be confused. White mist rose as she gasped for breath. The man who was originally moderate and amiable had changed his temperament while his gaze was scorchingly threatening. Both of them were too close to each other. Mu Chenyan became faintly afraid and worried when she detected the familiarly seductive scent of his body that was tinged with the smell of his hormones... It was the same tree and the same person... Inappropriate and embarrassing memories surged into Mu Chenyans mind. Without thinking, she quietly scolded him, saying, Are you crazy? Your expression changes every moment! ! Im not crazy! Whats going on in your head? Yuan Xuans tone was extremely sinister but it was tinged with yfulness. His gaze brimmed provocatively. He quietly murmured beside Mu Chenyans ears and said, Just now, you really did that on purpose, right? His gaze could see through everything but he was still indulging her. His tone was not usatory but it sounded vaguely surprised. Five seconds passed before Mu Chenyan realized that he was asking about Zhao Ruoxins burn incident. It was apparent that he still cared... Mu Chenyan mockingly sneered and said, Its certainly as you thought! Since you could tell, why did you still protect me? It looks like Id really underestimated a vixen like you! Yuan Xuan seemed lost in his thoughts. His voice was very soft while his tone was unhurried because did not intend to reproach her. Wasnt I supposed to teach her a lesson since she was lusting over my man? Mu Chenyan smiled and appeared to bepletely at ease. Yes, I really couldnt tell that youd use that move. Yuan Xuan spoke in an emotional tone that was tinged with happiness. Didnt you say that a person like me couldnt survive past three episodes in an imperial drama? Ive disappointed you! I may survive until the fifth episode or I might even stay alive until the finale. However, you might not be able to endure me... Mu Chenyan brushed the stray hairs at the corner of her forehead. She suddenly revealed a faint smile when she looked at Yuan Xuans dark and cold almond-shaped pupils. Your childhood sweethearts real sister looks exactly like her as if shes returned from the dead! Im sure that this is part of your good luck... This woman who was acting as if she wanted to die had started to test his limits. Initially, he was not upset because she had purposely gotten up to mischief. However, he could not suppress the burning rage in his heart that resulted from the feelings he experienced when she simply dragged him and Zhao Ruoxin together. ! Yuan Xuans dark pupils slowly constricted. It seemed like he was about to burn her with the fury that gushed out. His tall and upright figure created an oppressive aura. Under his gaze, Mu Chenyans arrogance slowly diminished... The color of the floormps were clearly gentle and warm but why did they seem so cold when they were reflected on the womans face... Say that again? ? Huh? Yuan Xuan wanted to know if she was still brave enough to challenge him. Im not going to repeat it! Mu Chenyan stopped before she went overboard. She knew that she would regret it if she persisted any further. Didnt you say that I had a headache? My head really hurts now so I want to go back and sleep. Mu Chenyan pushed his arms away and attempted to leave. If she could, Mu Chenyan really wanted to escape by teleporting. It was unfortunate that she did not know how to do so. Since she was too thin and weak to support her tall frame, she suddenly slipped on the wet ground after frantically walking several steps away. Her body swayed unsteadily before she shrieked... However, she had not fallen down onto the ground as she had anticipated. Yuan Xuansrge arms pulled her into his embrace. He was so close that she could even smell the faint smell of tobo surging out from the side of his nostrils. The scent was mixed with the refreshing minty smell of his aftershave... Unable to hide her embarrassment, her face reddened as she quietly murmured, Thank... Thank you... Mu Chenyan was not worried about the pain from falling down but she was afraid of revealing a crude side of herself in front of him... A single thought shed in her mind as she realized that every woman wanted to present her most beautiful self to the man she adored. On the other hand, they would never willingly show him their embarrassing sides... Still badly shaken, Mu Chenyan leaned against Yuan Xuans arm while her little pale soft hands tightly held his sleeves. She resembled a meek and adorable little fluffy bunny that fully depended on him. Chapter 121 - He Could No Longer Hold It In and Was Willing To Try Everything

Chapter 121: He Could No Longer Hold It In and Was Willing To Try Everything

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan held her waist with one of his arms and lowered his head to look at her slightly embarrassed face. At this moment, she actually looked obedient and cute! The dependent look on her face as she held onto his sleeves tightly reminded him of the past... * When she was in middle school, Mu Chenyan seemed to spend her entire summer holidays in the Yuan Family in order to save some money for the Mu Family. As she visited the Yuan Family more frequently, she became extremely attentive towards Yuan Xuan. She acted like a spoiled child and yed a fool. There was nothing that she would not do! He was annoyed by her and often reacted to her coldly. Under most circumstances, she did not care less and continued to follow him while calling him Brother Xuan... Nevertheless, Yuan Xuan would go overboard sometimes and she would start pouting with her eyes wide open. Then, she will pull onto his sleeves with tears in her eyes and ask in a low voice, Brother, why are you treating me so fiercely... * He did not think that he would see her with such a gentle and cute expression once again since the two of them were married already! They have had a few intimate moments due to the change in their rtionship. Even so, their hearts were growing further apart... She was no longer as naive and innocent as a in white paper! During the two years when he lost her, she had learned how to protect herself from this hideous society which peoples mind was unfathomable. Those inhuman tortures were the cruelest torment to her pure heart. After being tormented severely, she had even gotten a little cunning... He had no one else to me for not recognizing who Mu Chenyan had turned into! If he did not choose this path, Mu Chenyan would still be the Young Mistress of the Mu Family and the number one socialite of Luo Hai. Even if she did not marry him, she would continue to live happily. Why would she need to ever hide her thoughts deeply? Chenyan! Chenyan... Yuan Xuan called out for her name softly and stretched his hands to pull her into his arms while breathing deeply. The way he called for her sounded like the way she called him Brother Xuan in the past... She was pressed against his chest by a huge pressure. It felt as though he wanted to push her into his heart... Mu Chenyan stunned and soon came to her senses. She felt a surge of emotions in her heart and tears instantly started forming in her eyes. She reached her hands out to wrap it around his waist. Then, she buried her head in his chest and greedily inhaled his body scent. At this instance, she understood his feelings! People often recall the past with nostalgia. He had always rushed at the front while she chased after him at the back. It was like a dream to him when he realized that she had lost him... * The womans soft moans can be heard within the house until dawn... The two of them lingered on the bed the entire night. He was deprived for so long and ravaging her once was far from enough! However, Mu Chenyan had limited physical capabilities! Other than some faint weeping sounds and soft moans, her throat was so hoarse that she could not make any other sounds. After a long night, even she herself did not know who she was. Each time she could not hold it in and cried and pleaded softly, Brother Xuan... I dont want it anymore... Please stop... Yuan Xuan would stop and while he was resting, he would sip on some red wine. As he swirled the half cup of red wine under the moonlight, his defined features seemed dazzling yet dangerous. Mu Chenyan looked at his handsome face and well-built physique, especially the way he swirled the wine ss. This scene was fixated deeply in her mind. She wanted to reject him, but she was helplessly charmed by his looks. She knew clearly that the half ss of wine was the beginning to the night that she spread her legs open. Yuan Xuan constantly woke her up from her dreams whenever she fell asleep. Then, he will ravage her wildly and roughly! He wanted to squeeze her into his body and mold her into his heart to show her how he cared for her... He tried all kinds of techniques and whispered all kinds of flirtatious words into her ears. After being deprived for so long, he could no longer hold it in and was willing to try everything after breaking abstinence! Mu Chenyan finally realized that she would eventually need to repay the debts that she owed. Yuan Xuan used his way to express the feeling in his heart he wanted her and he will not allow her to give him away to someone else! This tiring method caused Mu Chenyan to lose all mood! After they finally ended, Mu Chenyan looked at the sunlight thatnded on the cream-colored window gauze and recalled the thousands of bottles of red wine in his wine cer... Mu Chenyan decided in her heart that she should get rid of the wine in his wine cer as soon as possible... Chapter 122 - The Trip to Liu Li Villa Had Finally Begun

Chapter 122: The Trip to Liu Li Vi Had Finally Begun

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion A round of fireworks had finally ended! The house quieted down atst. The satisfied man revealed a pleased smile while he held the exhausted woman in his arms. After more than half a month of abstinence, he got back what he missed including the interest! It felt extremelyfortable to fondle her smooth and delicate shoulder. However, the two circr scars caused by the two burn marks at the crook of her arms looked extremely unpleasant to the eyes! He caressed the two scars gently with his huge rough hand and Mu Chenyans body trembled slightly! All women would care about the imperfections on their bodies. Besides, it was in front of the man that she cared about. I will find you the best dermatologist in the world to remove these two scars! Yuan Xuan said while he nted a kiss on her damp hair. He sighed in his heart emotionally as he noticed that her hair had grown very quickly. Her hair turned from a short bob around her ears to a medium length hair over her shoulders! Mu Chenyan instantly opened her eyes wide open but her head was still leaning against his chest motionlessly. There is no need to remove it! No one else will see it other than you! In fact, Mu Chenyan wanted to say that the scars were a good reminder of the warning that he gave her... * The scene at the family dinner died down lightly. Mu Chenyan had troubled Yuan Tian by burning Zhao Ruoxins hand. That was because Yuan Tian would need to go to the Upper Mansion to apply medication on her wounds every two days. As the child of the Yuan Family, Yuan Tian had only been to the Upper Mansion a couple of times. However, she had gotten so many chances this time because of Zhao Ruoxin. When Yuan Xuan went to visit the Old Mistress, he conveniently asked about Ruoxins injury and fixed the dates for her to move to Liu Li Vi. The burn injury was just a small matter to Zhao Ruoxin. She was actually more bothered by the fact that she had to dy spending time alone with Yuan Xuan at the Liu Li Vi. She was even more frustrated with the fact that she had to bring Yuan Tian along as a third wheel. Even so, she could not offend Yuan Tian as she was the one who will be changing the dressing on her wound. Moreover, it was very difficult for Yuan Xuan to take back his words. Zhao Ruoxin could tell without using her brain that Yuan Xuan was using Yuan Tian as an excuse. This Fifth Miss was immune to both soft and hard tactics. Moreover, she was also Mu Chenyans most loyal supporter... Even if Mu Chenyan was not present, she will not need to worry as long as Yuan Tian was there. * In December, the trip to Liu Li Vi had finally begun! Before leaving, Yuan Xuan was hoping that Mu Chenyan would suggesting along with them. At the very least, it would mean that she still cared about him. However, Mu Chenyan disappointed him once again! Mu Chanyan was cold and her attitude towards Yuan Xuan was still carefree. There was a fire in Yuan Xuans heart that he had nowhere to release. The two of them were like little children quarreling. In both of their hearts, they wanted the other party to care a little more! Unfortunately, they were both very stubborn and would rather run their heads against the wall than giving into each other... * The second day after Yuan Xuan left, Mu Chenyan rushed to the hospital to visit Yan Mei. She had been to the hospital many times and found out that the ce only seemed peaceful on the surface. There were many hidden guards around and there were more than a pair of eyes staring at her. Initially, she was nning to bring Yan Mei out of the hospital while Yuan Xuan was in Liu Li Vi. To her disappointment, Tian Qi actually guarded the hospital personally. ! Yuan Xuan brought Yan Jun, Yuan Tian, and Zhao Ruoxin along, leaving Kang Yu to be in charge of thepany. The only one that he did not bring along was Tian Qi... Tian Qi was a simple-minded person and he will not listen to anyone other than Yuan Xuan. Young Mistress, you should leave! As expected, right after Mu Chenyan finished cleaning Yan Mei up, Tian Qi urged her to leave with a straight face. Without needing to think, Mu Chenyan knew in her heart that it was Yuan Xuans order. She was extremely furious. Yuan Xuan had never trusted her! Nheless, she was indeed not trustworthy... She was very upset but she could not express her emotions. Thus, Mu Chenyan smiled at Tian Qi and said, Tian Qi, the weather today looks very good, I need your help to... Young Master said that Madam Yan is not allowed to leave this room! Mu Chenyan, ... Mu Chenyan could feel ten thousand horses galloping in her heart and she secretly cursed Yuan Xuans eighteen generations of ancestors... Yan Mei had recovered to the point where she no longer needed life support. Mu Chenyan just wanted to bask her under the sun but Yuan Xuan actually gave such an order! ! He was being so unreasonable and it drove her crazy! Chapter 123 - A Burglar Broke In On this Night?

Chapter 123: A Burr Broke In On this Night?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After returning from the hospital, Mu Chenyan parked the car in the garage. As she was nearing the Hibiscus Garden, she saw Ah Fu rushing out from the garden. Oh my, Young Mistress, youre back... The girl was drenched in sweat from running hastily. Her tiny face was red from running and there were tears in her eyes. What happened? Mu Chenyan had never seen Ah Fu cried, so something bad must have happened. My grandfather, he suddenly fainted this afternoon... and he was sent to the hospital... I wanted to follow along but the Old Mistress asked me to wait until youre back! Ah Fu started crying as she was talking. Ah Fu was brought to the Yuan Family by Butler Fu and the Fu Family had worked for the Yuan Family for a few generations already. Thus, they were used to obeying their Mastersmand! This kind of hierarchy concept caused Ah Fu to stay on despite how worried she was for her grandfather. Go quickly, I dont need you to serve me here! Mu Chenyan said, If its possible, stay in the hospital to take care of Butler Fu. There are other maids at home and Ill look for them when I need help! Ah Fu could not thank Mu Chenyan enough. She quickly packed up and left. The house instantly felt very empty after Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu had left. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt as though her heart was empty too! The day when Yuan Xuan left, she felt an indescribable kind of sadness. It was as if her soul was being emptied from her body! If she were to leave one day, she did not know if she could get used to the days without Yuan Xuan. After all, she had worked for more than 10 years for the marriage that she had today... She once chased after him persistently and spent the best years of her life behind the shadows of the arrogant Yuan Xuan. Whenever Mu Chenyan thought about leaving, she would unknowingly feel traces of pain which caused her to avoid the question. Therefore, her determination was not as strong as it was before. She was afraid of this change... * All the confusing thoughts caused Mu Chenyan to feel extremely tired. She simply ate something for dinner and stayed in the bedroom on the second floor. She stared quietly and nkly at the sky through the cream-colored gauze curtain on the bedrooms balcony. The sky was filled with stars and the night was dark. Only then did Mu Chenyan got out of bed to take a bath. The weather in winter was getting colder and she spent a rtively long time taking a bath. She felt her body bing warm and her soft skin turning translucent under the water. Only then, she walked out of the bathroom with a white pure-cotton towel wrapped around her. At that moment, Mu Chenyan suddenly heard some noiseing from downstairs and she was frightened. ! Yuan Xuan had a cold personality and he never liked to interact with unnecessary people. Therefore, Ah Fu was the only girl working in the Hibiscus Garden. Could it be that a burr broke in on this night that Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu had just left? It was impossible! Even though the Yuan Familys level of security could not bepared to a militarypound, the number of servants and guards in this old mansion was the highest in Luo Hai. That was because of Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tangzhongs special statuses. Thus, Mu Chenyan would carelessly take a bath upstairs without locking the front door in the front hall. The fact that the burr might have entered the house for a rather long period of time caused Mu Chenyan to break out into a cold sweat. She hastily dressed casually and tiptoed downstairs. Mu Chenyan leaned closely against the wall, made use of the dim lights and saw a tall man. The man was sitting at the front hall casually as though he was at his own home. The man had an elegant figure and posture. He leaned against the wooden sofa with a half-ss of red wine in one hand and an ignited cigarette in another. He lowered his head to carefully taste and savor the wine, after a short he took a puff of his cigarette. He let out a soft, pleased moan while being surrounded by white, cigarette fog. The light of the arched floormp was a little dim, but Mu Chenyan could tell that this guy was wearing a soft white shirt and a id vest on top. His sleeves were rolled up half-way showing his muscr arms. Although Mu Chenyan could only see the back of his tall and upright physique, she still recognized him! Brother... Yuan Zhe? Chapter 124 - Yuan Zhe Was Up To No Good

Chapter 124: Yuan Zhe Was Up To No Good

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan said softly and her body could not help but froze! He came uninvited when Yuan Xuan was away. Entering someones house without permission was not something that a grown man should do! Especially since Ah Fu was also away today. When Mu Chenyan thought about these, her body became even stiffer. She regretted running down the stairs without thinking twice and did not prepare anything... Yuan Zhe heard a womans low and rushed breathing sounds. He then turned around and revealed a charming yet dangerous expression! Youre done taking a bath? You took a really long time... Yuan Zhe said with a hint of a smile while swirling the half-ss of wine in his hand. The dark red fluid was as clear as a jade! Mu Chenyan recognized that it was one of Yuan Xuans favorite wine in his wine cer. Even the wine ss was the slender long ss that Yuan Xuan liked the most... The things that Yuan Xuan uses are indeed good kinds of stuff! Of course, including his woman... Yuan Zhe said when he saw Mu Chenyan staring at his ss and he stood up from the sofa. He was 190 centimeters tall and he instantly took up half of the space. He shrouded Mu Chenyan with his shadow, forming an invisible sense of pressure. Yuan Zhes words were overly inappropriate and Mu Chenyan was extremely shocked. With both of their statuses, it was clearly unfitting for them to talk about taking a bath. Moreover, even as an elder brother, he should not have entered his little brothers private mansion in the middle of the night while he was away. He even drank his favorite wine and said some baffling stuff which was even more unreasonable. Big Brother, do you need anything? If you do, lets talk about it tomorrow or after Yuan Xuan returns. Its veryte and I need to rest! Mu Chenyan pointed at the front door and bluntly asked him to leave. Yuan Zhe could not help butugh when he saw the serious look on Mu Chenyans pretty face and how guarded she was like a hedgehog. He had simr features as Yuan Xuan and they both actually looked alike under the shadows of the dim lights. Mu Chenyan, dont chase me out that quickly! I came to look for you because I have something to tell you! Yuan Zhe said while waving his hand to ask Mu Chenyan toe closer. Mu Chenyan frowned at how he acted as though he was the host. She looked at Yuan Zhe defensively and moved a step backward lightly. Mu Chenyan had themon sense of keeping a safe distance with a man. Yuan Zhe saw Mu Chenyans subconscious move while she stood still at the bottom of the stairs instead of moving forward. He smiled and said, Come sit over here and have a chat with me. Theres no need to be so nervous! Mu Chenyan was very disgusted by his frivolous behavior and the nce he had on her. This was clearly her house. Since when was it up to an outsider to do as he please in her house? It seems like theres nothing to talk about between you and me! Mu Chenyan said with a straight face. Since Yuan Zhe did not respect her, she was ready to go up against him! I think, you should be interested if it is something rted to Mu Chenwu, right? Yuan Zhe suddenly brought up this topic. When Mu Chenyan heard her brothers name, her entire body trembled. Her eyes shed brightly as she stared at Yuan Zhes face. The excitement in her voice sounded a little hoarse, You know about my brothers whereabouts? Yuan Zhe smiled proudly when he saw how Mu Chenyan was indeed very interested in this topic. He sat down on the sofa once again and raised the ss from the coffee table. Then, he poured another half a cup of wine for himself, ced it close to his lips and took a sip. The corners of his lips curled up and it seemed like he was very pleased with the taste. Mu Chenyan could not figure out Yuan Zhes intention. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to present a friendly gesture and take the initiative because he mentioned her brother. Mu Chenyan walked over and stood at the side of the sofa and asked in a low voice, Since you came to look for me and wanted to talk to me about my brother, then dont keep me guessing! Yuan Zhe picked up the pack of cigarette, took one out and lighted it. He inhaled deeply and exhaled a long ring of smoke. He squinted his eyes and scanned through every inch of Mu Chenyans body. While being surrounded by the white fog, Mu Chenyan felt as though ants were biting through her entire body and she tried to avoid his gaze ufortably. Yuan Zhe smiled and patted on the seat right beside him. Then, he said with a raspy voice, If you want to know, then sit down and talk to me. I like women who are obedient. Only Yuan Xuan is into women who are difficult! When Mu Chenyan heard him talking about Yuan Xuan, she grunted and said coldly, Just tell me what do you have to say! The both of us arent that close anyway! In fact, it must be very sensitive considering their awkward statuses. Even if Yuan Xuan was present, Mu Chenyan felt that it was impossible for her to sit next to Yuan Zhe naturally and talk to their hearts content. Moreover, it was just the two of them tonight... Even a fool could tell that Yuan Zhe was up to no good! Yuan Zhe started to chuckle softly. His eyes got darker and his voice sounded extremely enchanting, I dont feel like talking to you if you dont sit down! The look on Mu Chenyans face changed slightly and she tried to suppress the anger in her heart. She sat on the edge of the sofa a little further away from him. She had a cold look in her eyes and an unapproachable cold aura around her. Yuan Zhe sized Mu Chenyan up and raised his head to finish up the wine in the ss. The stimtion from the alcohol caused Yuan Zhe to be filled with courage instantly! He suddenly reached his hand over and put his strong arms around Mu Chenyan. He then pushed her down to restrain her in between his body and the sofa. What are you doing? It happened too quickly and it revealed his intentions! Mu Chenyan did not think that he would be this impudent. He treated Yuan Xuans wife frivolously inside Yuan Xuans house... Yuan Zhe smiled in a low voice, Dont you know what Im doing? Mu Chenyan pushed him away with her hands and shouted furiously, Youre shameless, let go of me... mm... Mu Chenyan was boiling with anger, but before she could evenplete her sentence, Yuan Zhe had already pressed his thin lips against hers... There wont be anyone else here tonight... If you want to know about Mu Chenwus whereabouts, you will need to pay a price... right? Otherwise, youll never know about it forever... Let me tell you, you wont be able to escape from me tonight... Be obedient and I will treat you nicely... Or else, I will make you suffer like never before... Yuan Zhes breaths were erratic and he nted kisses on Mu Chenyans cheeks deliriously while threatening her with his words. Mu Chenyan will not be that disgusted by the taste of mellow red wine together with the smell of cigarette if it was Yuan Xuan. However, this man would only cause her to feel nauseous and the insides of her stomach were churning furiously. She tried to avoid his kisses while using her elbow to hit on Yuan Zhes head... Because of Mu Chenyans violent retaliation, Yuan Zhe started gasping for breath fiercely. He hastily kissed Mu Chenyans face and neck, even biting heavily on her slender neck... He was not afraid of living a mark! It seemed like he was driven by lust! You bastard! Arent you scared that Yuan Xuan might kill you when he returns? Mu Chenyans entire body was trembling from anger. No matter where her little hands were going, all she cared about was beating him up violently to prevent such a pervert in getting close to her. Yuan Xuan?? Hehehe... Yuan Zhes smile was extremely scary. He stopped his vition and looked at the trembling woman under him from a higher view. Then, he continued to say, Does Yuan Xuan care about you that much? Mu Chenyan stunned and she hesitated. In fact, she dared not say yes... Chapter 125

Chapter 125: She Will Definitely Be At A Disadvantage If She Went Against Him By Force

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan only hesitated for a short while and Yuan Zhe had already noticed something from her pale little face. Heughed in a low voice and said, You are a smart woman! I think you should have guessed, Yuan Xuan kept you in the Yuan Family to find Mu Chenwu! When the timees, he will spare no one from the Mu Family! Even if hes sleeping with you now, you cannot say for sure that he will spare youter on! Therefore, you might as well be with me as I will treat you nicely. After all, it is better than being with a man with an entirely different opinion, right? Mu Chenyan trembled slightly. She did not want to listen to Yuan Zhes nonsense and did not want to see the disgusting look on his face when the beast in him awakens. Nonsense! Stop distorting the truth! Yuan Xuan is not someone like that! Mu Chenyan answered him sarcastically. Yuan Zhe smiled coldly like a worn-out and extremely evil beast! He lowered his head to look at Mu Chenyan furiously and said threateningly, Youll knowter on whether hes someone like that or not! Nevertheless, youre mine tonight and no one can save you! As he spoke, he lowered his head to kiss Mu Chenyans neck. You shameless bastard! If you let go of me now, I will keep this as a secret to Yuan Xuan. Otherwise, I will tell him when hes back and he will make sure that you die without a burial ce... Mu Chenyan was angry and anxious, but her strong presence was not affected as she continued to push Yuan Zhe away relentlessly. However, she was feeling very uncertain in her heart! She was at a disadvantage now! Yuan Zhe saw the repulsive and refusing look on her face. His recklessness and vengeance mentality caused him to instantly turn malicious under the influence of alcohol! He ferociously tore apart Mu Chenyans cor, Alright then! I would like to see how are you going to tell him. Are you going to say that I raped you? Do you still not understand Yuan Xuan? That arrogant man has germophobia! During the few years when you were in prison, he did not sleep with any other women. If he found out that his wife was raped by his cousin, what do you think he would do? Haha... Yuan Zhe had gone madpletely. How could her poor cotton-material home attire bear such a brutal force? The sound of cotton being ripped apart along with the womans curses and the mans erratic breathing sounds made the house seemed oddly strange... Mu Chenyans snow-white shoulder and the pink bra wrapping around her delicate breasts caused Yuan Zhes eyes to turn red! Mu Chenyans entire mind was filled with Yuan Xuans face! Yuan Zhe was right, he must have known that Yuan Xuan will not ept the fact that his woman was being tainted. Thus, Mu Chenyan would not dare toin to Yuan Xuan. Even if he managed to sleep with her, she will not be able to speak out for herself... Chenyans heart was filled with hatred. She stared at Yuan Zhe furiously and cursed him countlessly in her heart! Yuan Family was an aristocratic family with hundreds of years of history and Yuan Zhe was the scum of this generation. The rumors were right, despite how brilliant and perfect a family may seem, who knew the many filthy incidents being hidden under the carpet... Do you know how many men would like to sleep with you in Luo Hai? They dare not even think about Yuan Xuans woman but Im going to do what they dare not do tonight! Yuan Zhe smiled widely as he said. He used both of his legs to restrain Mu Chenyan and pinned both of her hands above her head. Using his other hand, he started to unbuckle his belt... Mu Chenyan saw what he was doing and she was frightened to death. This insane man hadpletely lost his senses. If this continued, it would be hard for her to remain undefiled... The difference in strength between a man and a woman was too big. She will definitely be at a disadvantage if she went against him by force! Brother Yuan Zhe... dont be like this! Mu Chenyan suddenly gave up on struggling and changed the look on her face. Then, she called out to Yuan Zhes name softly and sweetly. Yuan Zhe paused his rough actions, raised his head up from her neck and looked at the woman under him with his red eyes. The bashful look on Mu Chenyans face was extremely charming! Her fair skin was very delicate and a pinkish blush tinted her cheeks at this moment because of all kinds of reasons. The blush on her cheeks was as mesmerizing as the peach blossom in March! Yuan Zhe was stunned as he did not know what Mu Chenyan was trying to do. Are you trying to y tricks with me? Ill tell you this, Ive dismissed all the maids and before Ah Fu left, I told her to stay in the hospital to take care of Butler Fu. Therefore, she wont be back! Yuan Zhe was very well prepared! Chapter 126 - Vixen, Youve Finally Come Around?

Chapter 126: Vixen, Youve Finally Come Around?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan wriggled her hands and freed her arms from Yuan Zhes restraint. She gently put her arms around Yuan Zhes neck and blew warm breaths at the pit of his neck. She said in a low voice, What are you saying Brother, how dare I y tricks on you! I just came around to it suddenly! Youre right, Yuan Xuan treats me well right now just to get me into bed. He wasnt being sincere! There is an extremely deep hatred between the both of us. In fact, each time he sleeps with me, I would wish for his death internally! Yuan Zhe looked at Mu Chenyan coldly. It seemed like he still did not believe that Mu Chenyan would change her mind that quickly. Mu Chenyan made use of her body and leaned against Yuan Zhes chest. The man was triggered by her soft body and his body turned stiff. He moaned softly and said in an uncontrobly hoarse voice, Vixen, you finally came around? Mu Chenyan nodded her head heavily, If Yuan Xuan were to really oppose meter on, I still need Brother to help me. Im just a weak woman and my family is ruined. Who else can I depend on? If Brother really does like me, there is no need to be forceful. When my father was alive, he was very close to the Yuan Familys second Old Master. In fact, he was nning to let me marry you. However, I was obsessed with Yuan Xuan at that time... Yuan Zhe did not believe her entirely. Yuan Tangzhong did actually get very close to Mu Feng at one point. Could it be that the crafty old fox really did n to marry his daughter to him? Mu Chenyan noticed that Yuan Zhe did not believe her fully, and broke into tears. Seeing such a weeping beauty, Yuan Zhes heart started aching. Stop crying, did I hurt you? Mu Chenyan shook her head, No! I regret not listening to my father! I did not save myself for Brother Zhe! Right now, if Brother Zhe doesnt mind, we can go upstairs and Chenyan will please you properly... Yuan Zhe heard what she said and his heart was filled with joy. He could feel the blood rushing to the top of his head. He felt an indescribable excitement with the thought of sleeping with Yuan Xuans wife on his bed. Youre not nning to appease and go to the Old Mistress toin about me, right? Yuan Zhe was still a little worried, but he could not resist the temptation. The reason why he said that was to destroy Mu Chenyans back up n. Im not a fool. Cant you tell that Im an eyesore to the Old Mistress ever since a long time ago? Youre her blood-rted grandson. If this scandal were to be publicized, it would be a disgrace to the Yuan Family. The Old Mistress will definitely not help me. By that time, I might not only be chased out of the Yuan Family, my life would probably also be in danger... What Mu Chenyan said was precisely what Yuan Zhe wanted to say! He nodded his head pleasingly and held Mu Chenyans beautiful sharp chin. He then smiled wickedly, Youre smart! He sighed in his heart as this woman was truly a beauty. The skin over her entire body was delicate and she had a natural elegant temperament. How could she bepared to the women who did lots of stic surgeries that he slept with in the past? He was bewitched by Mu Chenyans beauty and wanted to proceed a step further. Mu Chenyan quickly used her hands to push against his heavy body. Brother, are you sure that it is really safe for us to do it like this? Will sister-inw Wen Ya find out about it if you do not return? Mu Chenyan looked towards the front door as though she was truly worried that Wen Ya might suddenly barge in! Yuan Zhe smiled coldly, Humph! Her? Even if she is watching the both of us outside right now, she wouldnt dare make a sound! If you dont mind, the three of us can do it together. I can make sure that the both of you will be satisfied! Mu Chenyan felt nauseous with the thought of that scene. She intentionally put on an angry look on her face, Brother, what are you saying? If you do that, how can the both of us face each other in the future? Shes too boring, how can she bepared to you! Yuan Zhe said naturally but Mu Chenyan broke into a cold sweat from fear. ! Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe seemed so affectionate together. Would she actually watch her own husband sleep with another woman? Chapter 127 - Right Now, She Was The One At An Advantage!

Chapter 127: Right Now, She Was The One At An Advantage!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was stunned and Yuan Zhe was getting a little annoyed. He forcefully held Mu Chenyans chin and questioned with a hoarse voice, Why? Do you think that Wen Ya woulde and save you? Or do you really want to have a threesome? Hmm? No! Im not into that! Mu Chenyan blushed shyly and said in a sweet voice, Its my first time with Brother Zhe, I want to have you all by myself! Mu Chenyans voice was gentle and soft. Yuan Zhe felt even more excited hearing it. He did not think that he would receive such a huge reward tonight! This woman actually initiated to give herself to him! Good! I would assume that you would not dare y tricks on me! Yuan Zhe stood up as he spoke. He carried Mu Chenyan and headed upstairs. ... Mu Chenyan was roughly thrown onto the bed in the master bedroom, which made her felt dizzy. Despite that, she could not be bothered by it. Yuan Zhe had already started taking off his belt and pants. He was enthusiastic and energetic and absolutely ready to get into it. His view was blocked as he took off his vest. Under such an opportune moment, this was her only chance to free herself! Mu Chenyan suddenly got up and quickly pulled open the nightstands drawer. Grabbing a bottle of liquid, she aimed it Yuan Zhes face and sprayed... Yuan Zhe shouted in pain and fell onto the ground rolling. He covered his eyes with both of his hands and cursed, You little bitch! What did you spray on me? It hurts so much... Mu Chenyan quickly got out of bed and grabbed the expender puller that Yuan Xuan used to train his body from the balcony. Sheunched it on Yuan Zhes shoulder heavily. Yuan Zhe started wailing in pain but Mu Chenyan could not care less. She continued to use the expender puller and hit Yuan Zhe hard, especially on his vital parts. The expender puller was made of a metal material. Even though she was a girl, it would still hurt very much if she used her full strength! The reason why she attacked his vital parts was that she wanted him to feel pain even though she could not hit him to death! F*ck, I will kill you... Yuan Zhe was in a rage. He wanted to jump up and grab Mu Chenyan, but she knew that he dare not open his eyes. She got over her fear and continued to calmly hit him. Yuan Zhes face was covered in snot and tears. His face was no longer as handsome as he used to be. Moreover, his flushed red face made him looked as though he was a struggling, wounded beast. Mu Chenyan said coldly, Stop moving and I will stop hitting you. Otherwise, I will hit you to death today and you will have no ways toin. Dont forget that youre in Yuan Xuans bedroom now attempting to rape me! Since young, Yuan Zhe had never been in such an unfavorable situation before. A few hits were enough for him to make him confused and disorientated. Besides, his eyes and face were covered in some fluid. He was hurting so much that he had no energy to retaliate. Stop hitting me... you wicked woman... Yuan Zhe suddenly recalled the day when they were having steamboat, and Mu Chenyan purposely burned Zhao Ruoxins hand with charcoal. At that time, he even felt sorry for her for being bullied by the other woman. But it turned out to be that she was actually the bully! He had really underestimated her. Mu Chenyan suddenly grabbed the tie that Yuan Zhe threw at the side and tied both of his hands together. Yuan Zhe kept his eyes closed all the time, so he was not able to see the look on Mu Chenyans face. Cruel! Disdain! After she was done tying him up, Mu Chenyan copsed on the sofa in the corner. Her entire body was drenched in sweat and both of her hands were shaking uncontrobly. A cold gaze shed through her beautiful eyes as she scanned through every inch of Yuan Zhes body. If this did not happen, Mu Chenyan would probably never get the chance to be with Yuan Zhe at such a close distance. During the time when she lingered in the Yuan Family, all she did was follow Yuan Xuan around. She did not even greet Yuan Zhe with a slight nod. ... Yuan Zhe did not have any energy left. He leaned against the corner of the bed and seemed slightly dispirited. Even though he could not see, he could feel Mu Chenyan looking at him. Suddenly Yuan Zheughed out coldly. The wailingugh sounded extremely ferocious and scary in the dark night as if it was made by a trapped beast. Mu Chenyan... why did I not notice before that you have such a skill? Yuan Zhe calmed down and gave up on struggling pointlessly. He shot his question towards Mu Chenyans direction. Mu Chenyan did not answer him. Her dark almond-shaped eyes were filled with a deterrent force. Right now, she was the one at an advantage! Chapter 128 - Mu Chenyan Had Seen Through Yuan Zhes Tricks

Chapter 128: Mu Chenyan Had Seen Through Yuan Zhes Tricks

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Pepper spray? Humph! I didnt think that you would have this! Why, are you nning to spray it at Yuan Xuan if he forces himself on you? Yuan Zhe smiled sarcastically. There were too many things that he did not expect! Mu Chenyan clearly did not expect this too. She did not think that she would have to use the pepper spray she casually bought online so soon. Since this was the area for the rich, to receive the parcel, she went through the trouble to fill in Ah Fus name... Looking at Yuan Zhe, Mu Chenyan felt angry and absurd with his words. Why would she spray it at Yuan Xuan? It was not like he never forced himself on her before... When Mu Chenyan thought about Yuan Xuan, the abstinent beautiful man brimming with energy on top of her, her face instantly turned red... Under such circumstance, such an inappropriate scene actually popped up in her mind! ! Mu Chenyan, Im talking to you. Do you not believe me? Yuan Zhe suddenly spoke and interrupted Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan grunted and said in a low voice, What? Yuan Zhe used his elbow to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. He had an exhausted yet wicked look on his face. Mu Chenwu has the secret that Mu Feng left for him. If Yuan Xuan catches him, that will be the day that the Mu Family is fully exterminated... Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Zhe from above and said in a calm tone, she did not sound as flustered as Yuan Zhe expected her to be. I am capable to protect myself and my family! You worry too much. You should worry about yourself first! Yuan Zheughed out loud hearing her reply. He looked ferocious but also extremely embarrassed. How do you n to deal with me? Hmm? Go and tell the Old Mistress that I came to rape you? Or wait for Yuan Xuan to return to tell him that I came over and took off your clothes? I kissed you? Or... Shut up! Mu Chenyan jumped out of the sofa and kicked Yuan Zhe in the stomach. Yuan Zhe was hurting so much that he could not even catch his breath. He moaned in pain and cursed softly, Little bitch, youre really merciless... Mu Chenyan recalled where he kissed her just now and she was disgusted. She wiped her face with her sleeves in disgust but she felt that it was not enough and strode into the bathroom. The sound of water flowing was heard and Yuan Zhe did not know what this woman was doing. Mu Chenyan carefully washed her face and neck. Then, she took out a set of clothes from her wardrobe. Although Yuan Zhe could not open his eyes at the moment, Mu Chenyan dared not change her clothes in the room. Thus, she went into the room next door. After cleaning herself up, Mu Chenyan sat back onto the sofa once again. She crossed her legs and looked down at Yuan Zhe as though she was a judge. Actually, you do not know where is Mu Chenwu, right? Mu Chenyan had finally seen through Yuan Zhes tricks. He was lying to her so that she would let her guard down and then vite her. He definitely did not n the action tonightst minute. Yuan Xuan had nned to go Liu Li Vi for a while already. Even if nothing happened to Butler Fu today, he would probably find some other reasons to distract and chase Ah Fu away. Mu Chenwu was just one of his excuses. Yuan Zhe leaned on the corners of the bed and said while gasping, Even Yuan Xuan could not find him anywhere... How would I know wheres Mu Chenwu... As expected! Mu Chenyan smiled coldly and kicked Yuan Zhes long legs, Youve nned this for a very long time already, right? Yuan Zhe chuckled but did not admit to it! Afterughing, he said in a low voice, Youre the woman that most of the men in Luo Hai would like to sleep with! If Yuan Xuan wasnt protecting you, do you think you have any other options with your familys current situation? You will have no ce in this society and will soon be a ything for the men in the upper-ss society! I might as well sleep with you first... Yuan Zhe said very confidently. A fair face may hide a foul heart, he had definitely nned for this for quite some time. Mu Chenyan frowned slightly and her face was filled with disgust! She did not deny the things that he just said since she was being driven into a corner. However, she did not agree that she would soon be someone elses ything. After all, she was no longer the kind-hearted Mu Chenyan from before... Chapter 129 - You Want To Sleep With His Woman?

Chapter 129: You Want To Sleep With His Woman?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyanughed coldly and knocked on the floor with the expender puller. Yuan Zhe heard the sound of the puller and shivered in fear. He was afraid that Mu Chenyan might hit him again and he would die here! Perhaps, you dont actually like me! Youre just jealous of Yuan Xuan. Therefore, you want to drink his wine, stay in the Hibiscus Garden and sleep with his woman!! Mu Chenyan was calm andposed. She had a cold look on her face as if she had seen through everything. The muscles on Yuan Zhes face were twitching slightly as he looked towards Mu Chenyans direction. His eyes were bright red from the sting and he could not open his eyes. Even so, he could feel where the light source wasing from. Youre right! Im jealous of him! Everything that he has, shouldnt I have it too? I... You are not capable! Mu Chenyan bluntly interrupted Yuan Zhes snarling and rubbed salt onto his wound with her briefment. Hearing what she said, Yuan Zhe was so angry that he struggled and wanted to jump up. Unfortunately, both of his hands were tied up and he was very tall. Since he could not see anything with his eyes, he lost bnce and fell onto the floor heavily again after struggling for a short while. What do you want? Yuan Zhe yelled in rage. He did not think that he would fall into the hands of this woman, Go ahead and call for someone. I want to see if anyone in the Yuan Family would help you other than Yuan Xuan! ! Yes, I want to sleep with you, so what? You should be honored that I want to do so! Many women are waiting for me to sleep with them! Humph! Youre truly a crazy dog! Mu Chenyan said briefly and looked at Yuan Zhe boringly, Why would such a good woman like Wen Ya choose to be with a beast like you? She recalled the scene that he mentioned just now. Wen Ya actually put up with his perverted actions and Mu Chenyan suddenly felt sorry for her. Why did such a gentle and sweet woman choose to be with someone like that for the rest of her life? Mu Chenyan had never understood why did Wen Ya got married to Yuan Zhe after returning from studying abroad. Moreover, it was very sudden and the two of them did not interact much previously. While Mu Chenyan was pondering, Yuan Zhe continued to shout until he got exhausted and could not move at all. Mu Chenyan got up from the sofa and walked to Yuan Zhes side. She took out her phone and said with a hint of a smile, Brother Zhe, you want to know what am I going to do with you? You should enjoy your own performance first! The mans howling sound and the womans calm voice could be heard from the phone. * How do you n to deal with me? Hmm? Go and tell the Old Mistress that I came to rape you? Or wait for Yuan Xuan to return to tell him that I came over and took off your clothes? I kissed you? Or... ... Go ahead and call for someone. I want to see if anyone in the Yuan Family would help you other than Yuan Xuan! ! Yes, I want to sleep with you, so what? You should be honored that I want to do so! Many women are waiting for me to sleep with them! ... Youre the woman that most of the men in Luo Hai would like to sleep with! If Yuan Xuan wasnt protecting you, do you think you have any other options with your familys current situation? You will soon be a ything for the men in the upper-ss society! I might as well sleep with you first... ... * The audio recording ended and Yuan Zhes face turned gray! Mu Chenyanughed lightly and the almond-shaped eyes on her extremely beautiful little face were slightly squinted. She said calmly, Ill keep this interesting moment as a memory. After all, Brother Zhe was so passionate! If Brother Zhe does not offend me again, no one will see this! But, if Brother Zhe does not behave yourself, my hands might slip and send this tape to the news reporters and the disciplinemissioners. By that time... Both Yuan Zhe and Yuan Tangzhong were involved in politics. Both of them held important, political roles. If such a family scandal were to be exposed to the public, it will destroy their reputationpletely! This period of time was especially a critical moment for Yuan Tangzhongs career. The Capital City was meaning to train him further... Chapter 130 - She Was Too Innocent Previously, But It Did Not Mean That She Was Stupid

Chapter 130: She Was Too Innocent Previously, But It Did Not Mean That She Was Stupid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhe was about to crush his teeth. He did not think that Mu Chenyan recorded the whole scene just now! This woman seemed cold and harmless, but she nned all these tricks discreetly. It seemed like he had really underestimated her! But when he thought about it, Yuan Xuans woman should never be too simple-minded. Mu Chenyan was just too innocent previously, but it did not mean that she was stupid. Otherwise, she would not be known as the number one socialite! At this point, Yuan Zhe was starting to regret his overly reckless actions. If she were to really expose tonights scandal, not only his reputation would be ruined, his father would probably also be incriminated. Most importantly, Yuan Xuan was a troublesome person. He will not let anyone off the hook and his approaches to revenge were very harsh. If he chose to not acknowledge his rtions, even the Old Mistress might not be able to control him... Yuan Zhe could feel fear in his heart thinking about Yuan Xuan. What do you want? Yuan Zhes tone was no longer as strong as it used to be. He was even a little afraid that Mu Chenyan might other hidden tricks in her sleeve. At this moment, he was the one at a disadvantage! His hands were tied and he could not open his eyes. Moreover, he was in Yuan Xuans bedroom and he cannot say that Mu Chenyan kidnapped him here. Mu Chenyan even had a weapon in her hand. It was very clear who was the one at an advantage and who was the one at a disadvantage! In a split second, Yuan Zhes attitude turned from an abuser to a victim! Chenyan, since were a family... Who is family with you? You will go back to your Peace Mansion and well both keep a secret about tonights incident! Mu Chenyan calmly ordered. She did not want to listen to Yuan Zhes nonsense anymore as she was very exhausted tonight. Yuan Zhe was dumbfounded as he did not understand Mu Chenyans thoughts, You wont tell Yuan Xuan? Humph! Tell him? And disgust him with your actions? A disdainful look shed through Mu Chenyans eyes. Stand up and get out of my room quickly! * After chasing Yuan Zhe away, Mu Chenyan quickly locked the door at the hall of the Hibiscus Garden. Mu Chenyan felt thoroughly exhausted but she forced herself to walk upstairs. She got in the shower and took a warm bath. Wearing a bathrobe, she walked out of the bathroom. Mu Chenyan looked at her phone and there was not even a phone call or a text message. She felt as though her heart was being emptied. Yuan Xuan had left for two days already and he easily just cut off all connections with her. Thetest message was from Yuan Tian, informing that they had arrived at Liu Li Vi and Zhao Ruoxin had pestered Yuan Xuan to visit the Wintry Lake with her. Dont worry, Ill help you keep an eye on that vixen! She would not dare to make a reckless move! Yuan Tianforted Mu Chenyan at the end. Clearly, she paid more attention to Zhao Ruoxin than Mu Chenyan herself! With Yuan Tian there, Zhao Ruoxin might not behave inappropriately. Moreover, Yuan Xuan was not the type of man that would be easily moved. Even so, he probably did not contact her because he was still mad at her for letting him bring another woman to Liu Li Vi. As smart as Mu Chenyan was, she was very clear about it and she wanted to take this opportunity to do something more important. Thus, she could not go to Liu Li Vi. Nevertheless, even if she did not go, it did not mean that she would not miss Yuan Xuan... After being bullied by Yuan Zhe and now that she sat down quietly, she could not help but felt loss and grieve from her heart... ... The bright moonlight seeped in through the window seam, and the little garden on the third floor seemed deserted. The night was dark and Mu Chenyan sat on the wooden long bench with a soft wool nket around her. The crystal wine ss was ced on top of the coffee table and the half bottle of Petrus that Yuan Zhe opened up just now was ced right next to it. Mu Chenyan never liked to drink alcohol, but now she realized that alcohol was truly something special. It was no wonder that people liked to use it to drown their sorrows... She recalled thest time she drank wine was when Yuan Xuan forcefully fed it to her. After that, the two of them were caught in a stormy passion... Chapter 131 - She Hated Him

Chapter 131: She Hated Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Mu Chenyan recalled that scene, she could not help but mock bitterly at herself in her heart. No matter how much she resented him, the moment their bodies merged perfectly, she would not be able to control herself to pardon him infinitely, and her body would freely ept him... Thinking of those past images and reflecting on her current sorry state, Mu Chenyan felt heart-wrenching. She and Yuan Xuan, was it only the warmth on the bed that was left of between them? She had drifted about in the first half of her life. The numerous pursuit of romance when she was young then, were all initiated by her. To her, Yuan Xuan seemed to be far off, as though he was right before her eyes, yet he was actually beyond reach. ... She drank until she was half-drunk, and her body felt light and tipsy. Watching the night sky with ssy eyes, her heart felt empty, only then did she had the courage to pick up the phone. She dialed that all-too-familiar number. Hello? Little Chenyan... Yuan Xuans voice came through the speaker, and it felt as if it was from a lifetime ago! Mu Chenyan was quiet. ... All the grievances that had surged deep down in her instantly turned into tears... The fatigue from her body and the double psychological pain caused her to only cry and not be able to do anything else. Just like that, Mu Chenyan did not utter a single word but only covered her mouth and sobbed quietly. Even she herself did not know why she was crying so sorrowfully. Tears trickled down her fingers, fleeing in all directions... The guttural sound deep in her throat was expressing her suppression and dissatisfaction. She hated him! She hated him for traveling away and had not even contacted her for two days! She hated him for trapping her in this Yuan Family cage, and she was almost degraded by that beast tonight! She hated that he was not by her side when she was wronged! She hated him for picking up the phone on its first ring and called her Little Chenyan... with that damn maic voice of his. Whats wrong? Yuan Xuan observed that she was not saying anything but kept crying all along and he could not hold it in any longer, My wife, what happened? Are you missing me? Mu Chenyan felt that he did that on purpose. He had deliberately caused her to be in an even more sorry state, hence he had used such a gentle tone with a trace of attachment in it to trigger her! It was as if among the two who were arguing with each other, whoever who lowered ones head first would be the one to admit defeat. It so happened that she was the one who had given in easily and was the first one to make the call. However, apart from crying, there was nothing else that she could express... Should she tell him that she was nearly vited? Should she tell him that she really missed him? Should she tell him that regarding him bringing Zhao Ruoxin to Liu Li Vi, she actually took the matter to heart but had to pretend that it did not matter? Should she tell him that what Yuan Zhe mentioned of him exterminating the Mu Family in the near future frightened her? She could say nothing! There were not many people she could love and trust in this world. Yuan Xuan used to be her God, the bearer of all her thoughts! Even then, it so happened that the person she did not dare to love and trust was also him... Holding the phone, the suppressive crysted for as long as ten minutes. Yuan Xuan quietly waited for her to finish crying, and then his low voiceforted, Im sorry. Its my fault. Its all my fault. Yuan Xuan kept apologizing. He seemed to have read her thoughts. Mu Chenyan sobbed and sniffled. She could not tell how it was his fault, but after having vent the grievances in her heart and followed by his apology, she gradually became presumptuous. She could not control her emotions, and with a slightly nasal and sullen voice, she remarked in a reprimanding and coquettish manner, Its not your fault... Its me who shouldnt have made this call and harass your pleasant dream... I shouldnt have disturbed your happy holiday with Miss Zhao... Sour, sour, sour... As she finished, she hung up and switched her phone off... Chapter 132 - Whenever You Call Me, I’ll Be Available

Chapter 132: Whenever You Call Me, Ill Be Avable

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was jolted awake by Ah Fu. Mistress, how did you fall asleep here? With such cold weather, the dampness in the air is the worst on the third floor! If you catch a cold or is affected by the damp, how am I to exin to Young Master? Amitabha, my grandfathers fine. If anything had happened to you, Id be dead... Ah Fu babbled on and on and began to tug at the wool nket wrapped around Mu Chenyan. My goodness, this is such a thin nket and you managed to sleep with it. How cold would that have been! Mu Chenyan popped her head out from underneath the wool nket, her vivid ck eyes fixated on Ah Fu. Listening to her fussing about continuously, her heart was wondering, Didnt I lock the door in the hall? How did Ah Fue in? When Ah Fu saw her blur face and her eyes that were swollen like rotten peaches, she was rmed, and she mumbled with quivering lips, Mistress, what... happened... happened to you? Mu Chenyan realized that she might appear disheveled, and she began to say, Nothing much. I came here to watch the moon yesterday night, but I didnt expect to fall asleep. It wasnt cold at all. Her voice was extremely hoarse, and it still had the nasal and depressed tone after one had cried. Ah Fu was not dumb, hence she immediately understood the situation. She helped Mu Chenyan up from the wide wooden deck chair and said nothing more,prehending the reason Young Master had called her in the middle of the night. Mu Chenyans legs were a little numb, but with the help of Ah Fu, she managed to get to the first floor, and then she was stupefied! The door of the hall was pried open from the outside, and a few workers were working hard installing it back... Mu Chenyan looked at Ah Fu with her eyes full of questions. I called for you for more than half an hour from the outside, but you didnt answer the door. I thought that youre using the electric equipment to keep warm and an ident... has urred... so... Ah Fus volume decreased more and more, feeling embarrassed for her own stupidity. Hence, she summoned a few workers over and simply took the door apart? Nheless, this warmed Mu Chenyans heart. This girl was probably worried about her and had left her grandfather toe back as soon as possible. In the end, Mu Chenyan fell asleep lying in the little garden on the third floor, hence she did not hear the sound of knocking. Ah Fu scratched her head and spoke in a low voice, Midnight yesterday, Young Master had called me to inquire of your situation, so I was worried then. If it wasnt for Grandfather stopping me, I wouldvee back in the middle of the night... Mu Chenyan understood then that it must have been because she had hung up Yuan Xuans call and that his call could not get through, hence he thought of asking Ah Fu. Hehe. Ive got an extremely fortunate and blessed life. Im not going to die that easily. See how youve frightened yourself! Mu Chenyan smiled faintly, and Ah Fu was relieved. After the matter had passed, Mu Chenyan was not that upset anymore. Instead, she was regretful of her arbitrariness. Yuan Xuan was outstation, and he would be worried if she had a fit. When they were together, arguing did not matter much. Now, they were hundreds of kilometers apart, no wonder Ah Fu was urged toe back quickly. She instructed Ah Fu, Go and prepare some breakfast. Im a little hungry. After eating, Im going out to settle some things. Ah Fu could not grasp Mistress emotions. She only felt that such a beauty who was mncholy was quite pitiful. After she had followed Grandfather to bring back Mistress, she had rarely seen her smiled from her heart, except when she was with Fifth Miss... If Mistress did not like Young Master, then that would really be a loss! Young Master had truly ced her upon his heart. In the call yesterday night, Young Masters anxious tone was something she had nevere across. ... Mu Chenyan looked through her phone and found Wu Zes number. Big Brother Wu, are you free today? Mu Chenyan felt slightly unsettled in her heart. Forwyers who were the likes of Wu Ze, every day, their time would be calcted by seconds. Little Chenyan! Even with a heavy nasal tone, Wu Ze instantly recognized her voice, and he could not suppress his excitement. Mu Chenyan had sought him for personal matters, and he was the only one who could help her. Although Wu Ze had stated that he could help her anytime, would this be too sudden? Little did she expect Wu Ze tofort her uneasiness with his crisp and gorgeous tone. Whenever you call me, Ill always be avable! I thought Yuan Xuan that petty guy wouldve thrown my business card into the fire to be extinguished! Mu Chenyan chuckled lightly. She recalled thest time when she had used her beauty to trick Yuan Xuan into returning Wu Zes business card to her, and she felt ridiculous... So, in the afternoon, well meet and talk, is that alright... Mu Chenyans low voice was like a breeze across Wu Zes tender heart. Chapter 133 - She Could Only Look Up to Wu Ze

Chapter 133: She Could Only Look Up to Wu Ze

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It had been a long time since hest heard Mu Chenyans voice. With her being the one to call first, Wu Ze was trying very hard to suppress the throbbing of his heart! Even though he knew that this kind of rtionship was dangerous, he could not resist the temptation to see her. A smile emerged in the corner of Wu Zes mouth, and he replied softly, Sure. Ill book a nice ce and let you knowter. Yin Shan, the secretary who had just entered the room to send in some documents, was stunned for a moment. She rubbed her eyes hard to confirm that she had not seen wrongly. Wu Ze was smiling tenderly? Exposing his clean and white teeth, the well-dressed man was leaning back into his chair in an elegant manner. His eyes were full of blissfulness! Hanging up the call, Wu Ze turned his head around and signed the documents with a serious face. His handwriting was firm and bold, and it was the Yan-letter font that Yin Shan liked... After Wu Ze finished signing and as Yin Shan picked up the documents and was about to leave, Wu Ze called her and stopped her in her tracks, Secretary Yin, please help me to book a table in a French restaurant. Im inviting someone to lunch this afternoon. Seeing that her boss was full of smiles when he said he was treating someone to lunch, Yin Shan figured that the other party must be someone very important to him, and it was possibly a very important woman... Wu Ze lowered his head and continued to edit the document on hisputer. The lightly rolled up cuffs of his white shirt revealed his pretty wrists with their distinct muscle shape... Yin Shan was dazed by them, and she replied in a soft voice, Alright, Attorney Wu... Yin Shan had been working for Wu Ze for almost four years. From the age of 24 to 28, she had witnessed this mans return from the overseas as an unknown figure to his rise in the legal world to bing the well-known topwyer! Due to all the hours of spending together, her heart had been fully poured out onto this man, who was her boss and her ideal man... As for all these thoughts of Yin Shans, how would they be known by Wu Ze? Wu Ze and her social status, family background, and education qualification were not merely worlds apart. She knew that the Wu Family had a powerful historical background in Luo Hai. It was just that Wu Ze did not want to inherit his ancestral property but had chosen his favorite field ofw. The Wu Familys might was like a great gulf, separating Yin Shan on this side of the chasm. She could only look up to Wu Ze... Her family was poor. After graduating, she was able to practice in a smallwyer firm through pulling some strings. She did not expect that boss to be a lecher, who upon seeing that Yin Shan was pretty and poor, he had improper thoughts and had coerced and enticed her numerous times, trying to recruit her into his harem. Since this job was acquired through her distant uncle, Yin Shan was afraid and disgusted. After enduring day after day of dodging and suppression for three months, she finally knocked out that beastly boss of hers who had intended to vite her in the toilet when working overtime one day... The boss conduct was terrible, but he had a robustwork. Yin Shan was caught, and from being a case of sexual harassment, it had turned into an intentional assault. Nowyer was willing to stand up for her. After all, everyone was in the same line, and Yin Shan was just a trainee who had just graduated from university. Running out of options, Mother Yin had gone seeking for legal aid. Wu Ze, who was volunteering as legal aid back then, had solved this case in a weeks time. The Wu Ze at that time was as if he had descended from heaven, tearing open a rift at Yin Shans gloomy heart in a powerful manner, and the man that had a glowing aura on him had walked into her heart just like that... Wu Ze not only rescued her but also gave her a steady job, working as his personal secretary. Yin Shan was extremely ecstatic. She could watch this mature and reliable, handsome man with his outstanding features, seated in his office chair examining files every day. She could also be perfectly justifiably following his back and watched his resolute course of action in court as he built his legendary career. When those abstruse articles ofw were stated with his gorgeous voice, they sounded extremely sweet! Wu Ze did not have any bad habits apart from loving to smoke a few cigarettes and drink red wine once in a while. There were many girls around him, and arge number of them would even throw themselves on him. However, his upbringing had been exceptionally well. Steady and reserved, he was courteous to the outsiders yet having a sense of invible alienation... He was very handsome, and such a gentleman he was. This had simply caused Yin Shan to be besotted! Yin Shan had watched him rejected one peach blossom after another, and her heart ached and rejoiced at the same time. It ached because there were so many brilliant girls who were a perfect match, yet he did not view any of them as good enough for him. She herself was merely an ugly duckling before him, and he probably would not choose her in his lifetime... Fortunately, so long as he did not have an object of affection, maybe she would still stand a chance... Chapter 134 - The Language of Flowers for Daisies: Unrequited Love

Chapter 134: The Language of Flowers for Daisies: Unrequited Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The time together with Wu Ze was a pain and bliss to Yin Shan. In this kind of entangled bitter crush, it even crossed her mind that if he was willing to have a secret affair with her and even if no status was given to her, she would still be willing! However, Wu Ze was a veritable true gentleman. Not only did he not cross the line, but he also treated her as his very own younger sister. He raised her pay, helped her single parent-family to ovee hardship, aided her mother to seek a job, and paid for her younger brothers school fees... Wu Zes meticulous care did not have any trace of private desires mixed in it! It was because of that that Yin Shan dared not let Wu Ze know of her crush for him. She felt that if she had revealed it, that would be tarnishing his intentions for her. Nheless, she could not control herself to love... This kind of sinful pain was like a poisonous insect, tormenting her and causing her to be unable to stop. The one thing that had caused her to feel at ease was at least Wu Ze had not had a woman of interest yet, hence she still stood a chance! It was until today, when Yin Shan saw Wu Ze picked up that womans call and revealed an excited smile in which she had never observed before, only then did Yin Shan realize it was not that Wu Zes heart could not be moved, but it was because he had not met the one for him! Attorney Wu, the person whom you are treating to a meal, is... is it a woman? Yin Shan asked cautiously. She was praying secretly in her heart in the hope that Wu Zes answer would be negative! Or maybe, it would be nice to lie to her as well... Wu Ze looked up from the files, his distinct facial features were exceedingly good-looking. His voice was pleasant as he nodded and replied, Yes! Its a girl. A girl who speaks fluent French. Hence, please book a French restaurant that serves good food. Then... Do you need me to book a couple seat? Or, buy any flowers? Yin Shan asked in an extremely cautious manner, afraid that Wu Ze would notice that she was prying into his personal affairs. Wu Ze sat upright and held his chin as he pondered for a while. His face was dangerously charming! Yin Shan held her breath and heard him said inly, You do as you see fit about the seats. Regarding the flower, help me ce an order for a stalk of champagne rose flower paired with a bouquet of daisies. Yin Shan quivered as she exited the office and proceeded to hide in the pantry, covering her mouth and crying quietly. Thenguage of flowers for daisies: unrequited love... ... In the afternoon, Chen Yan put on a simple make-up to cover up her swollen eyes. She changed into a soft ginger-colored sweater, a thick velvet cotton retro skirt, and simply matched them with a pair of small leather shoes. She then put on a beige coat and left the house. The car exited the Yuan Family Mansion and went along the slope all the way to the west. It was not even 12 oclock yet when she arrived at the city center. Mu Chenyan looked at the location that Wu Ze had sent to her phone and figured that it should be a French restaurant. Back in the days, Yan Mei had loved to dine there, hence Mu Chenyan was familiar with the name of the restaurant. Wu Ze sat in the couples seat and seemed to have waited for a long time, but he was not anxious at all as he stirred the cup of coffee with his spoon in a moderate speed. His actions were as elegant as the gentleman of the upper ss in the 19th century in Europe. His other hand was randomly flipping through a book. The indoors was filled with warmth. Mu Chenyan took off her coat and draped it over her arm once she entered through the doors. As she made her way with little steps, she softly called out, Big Brother Wu... Wu Ze looked up, and his phoenix eyes were filled with surprise and amazement. Under the soft indoors lighting, her fair skin seemed to be almost translucent. Her fluffy fine hair was casually set. Matched with the ginger-colored sweater, her full-of-cogen cheeks were pink and tender, and her pair of eyes that were ink ck like a jade was curved like a rainbow. She was a pleasure to the eye. This woman, who had on her a glowing aura, had captured the attention of the entire ce the moment she walked in. Due to the unique air and charm of the oriental woman, a few foreigners did not avert their line of sight from her the moment she had entered. After Mu Chenyan sat down, Wu Ze smiled lightly and said, Father Time really cares for you a lot. Compared to five years ago when I first met you, you still look about the same. Five years ago? That should be the time when she was still studying in Ennd! Back then, she was young and tender. Mu Chenyan did not have any contact with Wu Ze in Ennd. She did not know when had Wu Ze seen her.

Chapter 135: Exposing Ones Intention Unwittingly While Trying to Cover It Up

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze exined, Yuan Xuan was back in the country at that time. Upon hearing that youre constantly missing him, hmm, and crying... he asked me to visit you... While Wu Ze was speaking, his eyes were scrutinizing the changes in Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan shuddered slightly, and her face blushed a little. That was after Yuan Xuan had returned to the country, and she had notpleted her studies. For someone who had been ustomed to being by Yuan Xuans side, those days were really hard for her. She keptining through the phone that she was missing him and had, indeed, cried. Hence, though he appeared to be indifferent, yet he had actually sent his own brother over to sneak a peek at her? Did she really matter to him, or was he merely feeling sympathetic for her? Wu Ze noticed that Mu Chenyans attention had drifted off. He smiled and said, Now that the both of you are finally together, it can be said that your wish has been fulfilled, and theres no need for you to cry anymore. Mu Chenyan took in a deep breath. A trace of embarrassment shed through her bright eyes. Wu Ze must have spotted her swollen eyes and was deliberately teasing her! Mu Chenyan replied in a low voice, When I was young, everything I did revolve around him. Now that Im older, those days will cease to exist... Seeing how indifferently shemented on her past infatuation, Wu Ze was taken aback. These two years of suffering had truly hardened such a spirited girl as her beyond recognition! Back then, everyone in Luo Hai knew that Yuan Xuan had a dominant spot in her heart. Apart from him, no one else could enter her heart... Today, hearing her say that she did not care anymore in such a frank manner, even Wu Ze was not used to it! Wu Ze responded in a calm voice, Maybe Yuan Xuan has his predicaments. Both your days of hardship has passed now. I believe that he will treat you well in the future. As a friend, Wu Ze had always upheld his principles of being a gentleman. He wanted to defend Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled, Lets not talk about all these. Its been long since Ist saw Big Brother Wu. Lets not have the topic revolve around Yuan Xuan, shall we? Wu Ze smiled. He moved his hand, picked up the bouquet of flowers on the table side, and presented it to Mu Chenyan. The handsome face was calm andposed as he said softly, This is for you. Mu Chenyan noted that it was still the same kind of rose that he had given to her at thest cocktail party, except that there were many tiny daisiesplementing it. This kind of oddbination caused her to smile. He had exposed his intention unwittingly while trying to cover it up! If it were arge bouquet of fiery red roses, she definitely would not dare to ept it. However, in this way, there was no reason for her to reject! Thanks! Mu Chenyan epted the flowers, sniffed at them lightly, and said smilingly, Its a girl who had helped you to purchase them, right? Wu Ze was stunned for a moment. His ck phoenix eyes stared at Mu Chenyan with questions. Theres still a whiff of the girls DAISY perfume left on the flowers. Its a soft floral fragrant. The top notes are wild strawberry, violet leaf, and pink grapefruit; the heart notes are gardenia, violet, and jasmine; the base notes are musk and vani. Shes a really cute girl... Wu Ze was amused. You women are really attentive to details. Such stuff is so difficult to be memorized, yet you actually remembered them so well! He did not understand women, more so about perfumes, but as he listened to Mu Chenyan mentioning the smell of the perfume like how he memorized those articles ofw in such a pleasant manner, he was mind-blown! The tip of Mu Chenyans fingers was slightly cold, her pretty big eyes twinkling a faint glow. She said quietly, Actually, I dont use any perfume. Its just that my mother used to like these. Unfortunately, she wont be able to use them now. Although Yan Meis situation had improved, she was not sure whether her mother would remain in a vegetative state forever. Imagining her using perfume was truly a wild wish! Wu Ze did not manage to speak some consoling words as the waiter hade over to take their order, interrupting their conversation. Beautifuldy, the foie gras here is extremely delicious. While Wu Ze was passing the menu to Mu Chenyan, the tall, blond-haired, and blue-eyed waiter hurriedly rmended their signature dish using inarticte Mandarin. Chapter 136 - French Men Are Really Overconfident and Over-Passionate

Chapter 136: French Men Are Really Overconfident and Over-Passionate

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The blond handsome mans gaze was filled with amazement, but he did not look at Mu Chenyan pervertedly. He had chosen to use Mandarin after some hesitation. Usually, he would use English to serve the customers, but when he saw Mu Chenyan, he thought that this beautiful woman was too young. Hence, he used Mandarin, which to him, was very difficult to enunciate. Mu Chenyan read the menu, looked up and replied lightly with fluent French, The process of making foie gras is too cruel. Ivee here twice, and my mother had suggested to not order that dish. When the waiter saw that she was this pretty and knew how to speak perfect French, he was clearly astounded. He too switched to French and smilingly replied, Its not a big deal actually. Human beings are the masters of life and the other kinds of meat that we eat also required the animals to be killed. However, theres a difference between murder and torturing to death. Murder is also to satisfy the humans desire, hence we have to keep a reverence of heart for the dead creatures. However, torturing to death meant that one would have to be condemned by ones soul. As Mu Chenyan replied, she smiled and blinked her eyes at the tall, handsome man. The waiter politely nodded at Mu Chenyan. Miss, we also agree very much with your point of view. Distinguisheddy, if thats the case, we hope that youll enjoy our other dishes then. The waiter felt great respect for this beautiful woman who also knew how to speak fluent French. He had worked in this high-ss restaurant for a few years in Country Z and had seen no less of powerful aristocratic families. From his understanding of the people of this country, the dishes ordered had to be sumptuous to reflect ones status. The likes of this youngdy, who was such low-key and sophisticated, was really rare. Moreover, this was the first time he had met such a girl who had both beauty and wisdom and could still maintain such a clean soul. The blond handsome man instantly felt that he should serve her more diligently. Mu Chenyan ced her order and then, helped Wu Ze ordered his. The striking man leaned back in his seat and watched Mu Chenyan used the formal expression in French to softly and courteously inform the waiter what to take note of. He could not help but smile from the depth of his heart. This woman was morous, yet she had deliberately concealed her edge. Such manner of hers would really stir up the curiosity in men very easily. Indeed, when the waiter was leaving, he openly stuffed a business card to Mu Chenyan, and with a smile in his charming golden eyes, he said n a low voice, It is an honor to serve Young Lady today. Mu Chenyan politely nodded and smiled as she epted the business card. With such a beauty, even if she was out dining with such a fine man as Wu Ze, that still could not stop a handsome French man from having his heart moved. Hmph! French men are really overconfident and over-passionate! Wu Ze thought in his heart silently. ... The food was quickly served, and the few dishes that Mu Chenyan had eaten here with her mother, Yan Mei, were ssics. The dishes she had ordered were in and simple, but its taste was first-ss. Even Wu Ze was not aware that this restaurant had such non-mainstream dishes that were equally scrumptious. French cuisine was extremely particr about red wine. There was an art to whichever side dish or wine that was to be paired. Mu Chenyan did not drink much wine, so she knew nothing of that, and she ordered a Chateau Rayas for Wu Ze. Mu Chenyan recalled that Yuan Xuan was a man who loved to collect red wine. In the wine cer in Hibiscus Garden, there were countless wine collections that she could not tell of their names and year. The look of that man, while he was drinking red wine, was elegant, noble, and graceful. Even thinking about it now could still fascinate one! Wu Ze watched the corner of Mu Chenyans lips curved slightly upward, her ck hair on her forehead brushed across her eyes, and his thoughts drifted away. The first time when one met with another person in life, even with just a look, one would know whether the other party was the person that one desired! Five years ago, he was asked by Yuan Xuan to go see her at school. He had only watched from afar and dared not approach her. At that time, she was so dazzling that he could not avert his line of sight. He himself was not aware that from the moment heid his eyes on the woman, she had secretly prated his heart... Later on, when they met again, she had be a prisoner. He used Yuan Xuan to numb himself, not admitting his feelings to her and kept doing his job. However, after numerous contact, his motive was no longer pure. Those emotions that were suppressed rushed out like a flood, and it was unstoppable... Chapter 137 - Wu Ze Regretted It

Chapter 137: Wu Ze Regretted It

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze regretted it! He regretted that as he withdrew each step, she was bing Mrs Yuan by every step! If five years ago, during their first meeting in Ennd, he had known that he had feelings for her, he would have had the courage to approach her! Perhaps even two years back, while she was going through lifes rock bottom in prison, he could have been more assertive to protect her. Then right now, would not he have been able to present roses instead of daisies rightfully? Time could not be rewind, and everything could not be restarted. After pursuing Yuan Xuan for more than ten years, she had finally be Mrs Yuan, yet she did not obtain the expected happiness. Wu Zes heart ached for her, but he could not find reasons to persuade himself to snatch her away... Wu Zes thoughts were raging, his fingertips were somewhat cold, and his gaze had almost never averted from the woman in front of him. Mu Chenyan, of course, was not aware of the intense internal conflict Wu Ze was having at the moment. She was about to finish her food when she noticed that Wu Ze had not really started. She then smiled and asked, Why arent you eating? Did what I order not suit your taste? Wu Ze gently put down the knife and fork. He took a paper towel to wipe the corner of his mouth, his phoenix eyes full of smiles. Nah. Its appetizing, butpared to eating these, watching you eat opens up my appetite even more... Mu Chenyans response was ... This was the first time Wu Ze was having a meal with Mu Chenyan, and he was quite fascinated by this woman, feeling contented just by watching her eat. Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and smiled. A tiny caviar at the corner of her mouth attracted his attention. He pulled out a paper towel and reached out to help wiped her mouth... This ambiguous action made Mu Chenyan froze. She blushed slightly and dodged to a side. Smiling, she said, Ill do it myself... As she spoke, she took that paper towel, and when her fingertips identally brushed past his palm, the chill sensation stunned her. The atmosphere instantly froze in awkwardness. Wu Ze straightened up, and his eyes looked away from her blushing face. To prevent further awkwardness, he started a topic and asked inly, Chenyan, Im sure you called me for a reason. Just let me know how I can help you. Wu Zes tone was full of sincerity. Though he did not want to take advantage of anothers perilous state, that did not mean that he could not be a good guardian of hers. Not being able to hold her hands did not mean that he could not secretly safeguard her like a friend! Mu Chenyan paused for a while. She did have a favor to ask of him, but Wu Zes state at this moment was causing her to be at a loss. Mu Chenyan was no fool, simply behaving ambiguously with another man and pretending to be dumb and sweet! Wu Ze was a meticulous and extremely self-disciplined man. If it was not because he had some thoughts for her, he would not have assured her that he would respond to whatever her request was. Seeing Mu Chenyan hesitated, Wu Ze continued to say, Dont worry. I know my ce. Im treating your request in ordance with the level of a friend. If I can do it, Ill do my best; if I cant, I wont force it too. I wont ask for any repayment because youre Mrs Yuan. This, Im well aware of. When Mu Chenyan heard that, she heaved a long sigh of relief. She knew that Wu Ze was indeed a gentleman, and the reason he said that was to put her heart at ease. Mu Chenyan lifted the cup and drank two sips before saying softly, Wu Huai is your elder cousin brother, right? Wu Ze did not know why Mu Chenyan was asking about Wu Huai. He nodded lightly, Hes with the police force in Major Crimes, and hes the captain. Ive heard. Both of you are legendary figures in Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan said casually. Wu Ze chuckled all of a sudden. Hehe, how embarrassing. Us brothers have liked to y fighting games since young. It was as if we have a dream of bing the savior of the world. He didnt want to inherit our ancestral enterprise and had decided to be a cop, whereas I chose to be awyer. Our younger brother and sister are learning to manage our family-ownedpany at the moment. The outside world did not understand these two cousin brothers. They could notprehend why they did not want to manage such a well off bigpany but had chosen to be a police,wyer, and whatnot,ing into contact with vicious people every day, and the wages earned were not even a fragment of the Wu ns ie... I feel that its rather good to have a dream. I really admire you and Brother Wu Huai. Chapter 138 - News Inspectorate

Chapter 138: News Inspectorate

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan stated with deep sincerity. It was no easy task for those who could persist in their dreams! One of you is in the military while the other is in the civil field, are using your own methods to preserve peace and justice. This is something extremely meaningful. What Wu Ze was hearing from her was exactly what he himself was thinking. Even a restrained man like Wu Ze could not help but feel warmth in his heart to be able to have the woman whom he liked understand him. Why did you bring up Wu Huai? Do you need him to help you with something? Wu Ze questioned closely. Mu Chenyan exined, The favor Im asking from you this time is rted to Wu Huai. In order to highlight the fairness and justice of thew alongside its regtions, and to promote the efficiency of the forensics system, the central government has nned to conduct a pilot project in Luohaist year to set up a news inspectorate to track and report the process of solving criminal cases. Were you aware of this? Mu Chenyan had gathered lots of information from the Inte and from her old ssmates and friends, hence she hade prepared. Wu Ze, of course, was aware of this matter. This was the first official coboration between the judiciary and the press, but things did not go as nned. Yes, but the decision on this news inspectorate has not yet been finalized yet. The main reason was that the police was not very cooperative, and they were unwilling to let external parties enter their backroom to keep track of them and report their progress. Hence, the project came to a standstill. Wu Ze replied. Mu Chenyan nodded and smiled faintly. Actually, the main issue was that Brother Wu Huai thwarted their progress greatly... Hearing this, a smile emerged at the corners of Wu Zes lips, and he nodded in agreement. Indeed. His temper is really bad, and hes extremely stubborn. When ites to his image, its very difficult to have him cooperate, hence the project was unable to proceed. Mu Chenyan immediately knew that she had found the right person. This time, Im asking you to help me. Id like to be an intern reporter in the inspectorate. You know that I studied journalism and that Ive also interned in the BBC when I was in Ennd... Mu Chenyan became excited as she spoke, her bright eyes full of anticipation! Wu Ze looked at Mu Chenyan. He could notprehend why she would think of working all of a sudden. After all, being a reporter was a tough gig. What are you nning to want to work in that investigative journalism unit? Wu Ze asked. That department is currently recruiting volunteer journalists. Since its a pilot project, the wages are not high, and there are not many peoplepeting for a spot. More importantly, Ive got to pass the checkpoint that is Brother Wu Huai. If he doesnt agree, this wont work... Brother Wu Huais an upright person. His unwillingness to ept this department intrusion is unreasonable as well. After all, the people also want to learn of the progress and investigation of major cases. Mu Chenyan was being very cautious as she said this. She was afraid of saying the wrong thing, like painting Wu Huai as a bad guy who was beyond redemption... Finally, Wu Ze understood Mu Chenyan. She wanted to work there, and clearly knew that if Wu Huai obstructed her ns, the whole department would quickly reach a standstill, and her ns would fail. Hence, she needed to talk to Wu Huai in advance! Chenyan, howe you suddenly thought of working, particrly in this department? Wu Ze felt that things might not be as simple as hed like to have imagined. If she merely wanted to get a job, it would be a breeze to help her with Yuan Xuans connections. Mu Chenyan was clearly hesitant. Her in face was overly indifferent, and there were even traces of exhaustion in her eyes. After a while, Mu Chenyan slowly said, Id like toe into contact with society through this channel. I cant be stuck doing nothing my whole life and simply rot away in the Yuan Family Mansion... She was downcast as she spoke. Without the support of the Mu Family, its not easy to be independent in society. I can only utilize what Ive learned to gain a foothold for now. What more, this job will enable me to make connections with the police. If possible, Id like to use them to eventually find my brother, Mu Chenwu, as well. Chapter 139 - To Her, Yuan Xuan Was Like a Poisonous Drink That Quenched Her Thirst

Chapter 139: To Her, Yuan Xuan Was Like a Poisonous Drink That Quenched Her Thirst

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It dawned on Wu Ze that Mu Chenyan wanted to break free from Yuan Xuans control. If she found Mu Chenwu, she would at least still have someone from the Mu Family to rely on! However, Mu Chenwu had gone missing for quite a long time, and the authorities had no news or trace of him at all. Mu Chenyan might not know that the Yuan Family was also looking for Mu Chenwu. What had gone on between the Yuan Family and the Mu Family was probably hard for outsiders to grasp. Yuan Xuans thoughts were like an endless abyss, if he did not disclose them, no one would be able to read him. I suppose finding Mu Chenwu is just one of the reasons? Wu Ze watched Mu Chenyan and asked inly. Yes. It seems like I cant hide anything from Brother. Mu Chenyan replied while smiling. Back then, Shu Qingers case was left unresolved, and there were many suspicious circumstances surrounding the case. I want to get in touch with the police, and if possible, Id also like to slowly look into the case in secret... Mu Chenyan paused for a moment. Her eyes, which were as dark as a pair of onyxes, were looking out into the distance through the window. Im a victim in this case too. Dont I have the right to vindicate myself? And the best way to vindicate yourself is none other than by finding the real murderer... Wu Ze was stunned as he observed Mu Chenyans dim and indifferent expression. The longsting pain had caused this womans face, which was naturally pretty, to have a faint sorrow about it. Her flickering eyes no longer carried the animated aura it did when she was young... He thought about it and understood why she was now for his help instead of Yuan Xuan. It was not just due to the fact that Wu Huai was his elder cousin brother, but rather, it was because Yuan Xuan did not give Mu Chenyan a sense of security, such that she could not recklessly trust him! All these years, Yuan Xuan had never told anyone anything about his ns. Even Wu Ze and Shao Yibai might not fullyprehend what he was formting. What more Mu Chenyan? Without a sense of security, even though the two shared the same bed and had zero distance between them, she would still not dare go to Yuan Xuan. Not to mention, he had hurt her before... Wu Ze suddenly felt sorry for this woman. To her, Yuan Xuan was like a poisonous drink that quenched her thirst and was the antidote to her Gu poison! (TN: a venomous poison obtained from thest insect standing among many that were sealed together in a container; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gu_(poison)) She had loved him for so many years and pursued him for a long time, even obtaining her wish of marrying him in the end. However, her heart was moving further and further away from him... Chenyan, dont worry. Ill be sure to help you settle this matter. However, Id like to remind you that although Wu Huai is a decent guy, his temper is very bad. If youre to work with him in the future, you might have to endure this side of him. As Wu Zemented on his elder cousin brother, a faint smile appeared on his face. He was clearly aware that helping her might not please Yuan Xuan, but he still wanted to help her. Im not scared. As long as he agrees, I believe Ill be able to do well! Mu Chenyan let out a long sigh of relief. The oue was better than what she had expected. With Wu Ze willing to help her, she was feeling very happy. Chenyan, Ive got a question, and Im wondering if you can give me a truthful answer. Mu Chenyan had never seen Wu Ze speak so cautiously. The eloquence of this well-known fork-tonguedwyer was well-known throughout the country! Big Brother Wu, just say whatever thats on your mind... If you seed in finding Mu Chenwu, what do you n to do after that? Do you... Do you n to leave the Yuan Family? Wu Ze held his breath as he spoke. He hoped that she would reply in the negative and that he would not be wronging his friend. However, he was also vaguely hoping that she would say yes... Mu Chenyan had a family feud with Yuan Xuan. Even if no one talked about it, it did not mean that this toxic nuance did not exist! Chapter 140 - Yan Jun Realized the Gravity of the Situation

Chapter 140: Yan Jun Realized the Gravity of the Situation

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan went nk, and her dreamy eyes seemed to ze over. What Wu Ze had brought up was the untouchable, forbidden topic in her heart. Her lips quivered a little, and the bangs that hung over her forehead shifted over her fair face. Wu Ze could not see her expression, but he was well aware that she was subconsciously avoiding this question... * The north wind was blowing even stronger when they came out if the restaurant. Mu Chenyans body shrunk back into her coat as her little face retreated into the red scarf. Wu Ze saw this and reached out to help rewrap the scarf around her neck. If theres any news, Ill call you. However, are you going to personally tell Yuan Xuan about this, or do I tell him? Mu Chenyan shook her head and panicked a little. Ill tell him myself. If you tell him, hell be... She was embarrassed to utter the word jealous. There were certain things that everyone would prefer not to be put out into the open. The valet drove the car over and Mu Chenyan got in. As she waved goodbye to Wu Ze from the drivers seat, she kept getting the feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching her from somewhere... * Zhong Heng International. Yuan Xuan sat in therge office chair with a stack of photos scattered across his desk. The mans expression was extremely grim, and his dark and narrow eyes were animalistic and angry. His dark figure was surrounded in a swirl of thin white smoke, as his gloomy expression overshadowed his usual steady demeanor! Yan Jun dared not interrupt Yuan Xuan but he still had to report to him. Young Master, you called for me? His eyes dared not nce around, but Yuan Xuans dark face really concerned Yan Jun. Was something catastrophic about to happen? Go and find out the source of these photos. Furthermore, have someone tail my wife secretly from tomorrow onwards! Yuan Xuans surly tone caused Yan Jun to shudder. Yan Jun sneaked a nce at the pictures on the desk in the warm light-filled restaurant, Young Master Wu was presenting a bouquet of flower to Mistress; Young Master Wu had pulled out a paper towel and was helping Mistress to wipe her mouth; in front of the restaurant, the tall and handsome man was wrapping the scarf around Mistress as if he were protecting his dear kitten... After taking a sharp breath, Yan Jun realized the gravity of the situation. He had stayed by Yuan Xuans side for a few years now. Young Masters germophobic and possessive traits were all well known by Yan Jun. Moreover, this young mistress had always had a precious ce in Young Masters heart. At least, that was what Yan Jun thought. What was going on with Mistress? Was something major about to happen? Ill investigate it. However, Young Master, there could be more to this than meets the eye. You... Yan Jun wanted to vouch for Mu Chenyan, but when he saw Yuan Xuans cold gaze fixed on him, Yan Jun hurriedly shut his mouth. Someone was deliberately trying to sow doubt into Mistress and Young Masters rtionship! This was Yan Juns first impression, but he dared not simply express his thoughts to Yuan Xuan. However, Yan Jun still felt that he could smell a rat involved. Yesterday night, Yuan Xuan did not sleep well after picking up Mistress call, and he had rushed all the way back from Wintry Lake early in the morning. Before he arrived home, a few of the old men from the aristocratic families were making noise at the entrance to thepany, demanding to see Yuan Xuan. They were here about the pawns in theirwork whom Yuan Xuan had previously dealt with. In Luo Hai, the battle between the long-established powers and the new forces that were represented by Yuan Xuan had been going on for some time now. It was just that this time, Yuan Xuans move was overly assertive and he had uprooted some of the aristocratic families underlings a bit too coldly. He had done so in a neat and organized manner without showing any mercy. One small event could have a butterfly effect. Thus, the old men could not hold back. They brought the matter to thepany group, and Kang Yu could not deal with it alone, hence he could only call Yuan Xuan. Although Yuan Xuan had a forceful way of doing things, he was particrly slick when dealing with the older generation. He soon pacified the old men with a few words, then had them wait indefinitely. It was already afternoon by the time he finished dealing with the troublesome people on this end. Yuan Xuan was feeling a little tired, and just as he sat down in his office, his secretary sent in a package that the reception desk had just received. The courier said that there was an important document that he had to personally give to CEO Yuan. The front desk felt that this was bizarre, so they asked the courier to give the stuff to Yan Jun. At the time, Yan Jun dared not open it, but little did he know that it would be filled with pictures... Young Master, Deputy Mayor Chen would like to invite you to dinner at Delight House. Would you like to ept his invitation? Yan Jun asked cautiously while looking at Yuan Xuans expression. Chapter 141 - No Man Could Stay Calm When Turning Green with Envy

Chapter 141: No Man Could Stay Calm When Turning Green with Envy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion No man could stay calm when turning green with envy. Let alone a perpetually arrogant man who had suddenly found himself in this situation. Yan Jun was extremely worried. He felt bad for his CEO, but was also worried for this mans wife who was probably still at home. Yuan Xuan only asionally smoked, and that was when he was in a bad mood. Now, he had just finished his second cigarette in a row. The embers flickered around his fingertips before slowly extinguishing themselves. He got up from his office chair and turned around to take his suit jacket before he quietly said, Postpone all of my events tonight, Im returning to Hibiscus Garden. * When Mu Chenyan left the French restaurant and saw that it was still early, she strolled around the streets for a while and bought some lighter clothes for the new season. If everything went smoothly, she could start work in spring. A normal frontline reporter could not go to work in a Chanel or Dior suit. Thus, Mu Chenyan bought herself some clothes and shoes from average, everyday brands. She also bought numerous sets of youthful and feminine clothes for Ah Fu while she was at it. When she returned to Hibiscus Garden, she saw Yuan Xuans haunting sports car parked in the garage. This was Yuan Xuans favorite car. The silver body of the vehicle was exceptionally eye-catching, and Yuan Xuan would usually drive this car when he went away on long trips. Mu Chenyan was slightly suspicious when she saw that he had already returned. Was he not supposed to be gone for four days? Why was he already back although it was only the third day? Yuan Tian had not informed her in advance either. Mu Chenyan had a terrible feeling... When she saw Mu Chenyan carrying bags of various sizes while entering through the front door, Ah Fu hastily trotted over and took the bundles. Her eyes lingered in the direction of the second floor before she whispered, Young Master has returned but he seems somewhat unhappy... Mu Chenyan nced upstairs while the uneasiness in her heart grew more intense. However, she maintained herposure. She exchanged a few words with Ah Fu before she too went upstairs. When she walked past the study room, Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuan on theputer. His slim figure seemed anxious while his slender fingers tapped away on the keyboard. When his eyes darted upward and saw Mu Chenyan standing stiffly at the doorway, his gaze lingered on her for a brief moment before he hurriedly turned back to his screen... Mu Chenyan faintly smiled. It looked like Young Master did not have a good time during his trip to Liu Li Vi. Since she was quite tired as her entire body had been attacked by the chilly air throughout the day. Thus, Mu Chenyan went to the bathroom to take a bath without stopping by to say hello. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan himself only went downstairs after Ah Fu had loudly called for him twice after she had finished preparing breakfast. He happened to see that Mu Chenyan and Ah Fu, the mistress and her servant, quietly chatting in the hall downstairs. Ah Fu looked extremely excited. Thank you, madam... Ive never bought so many clothes before... Mu Chenyan knew that Ah Fu had been an orphan ever since she was a child. Despite this, Butler Fu had not spent much of the ample sry that he received from the Yuan Family on his granddaughter. Moreover, he did not even allow her toplete her schooling before he made her serve the Yuan Family here alongside him. As she was buying the clothes today, Mu Chenyan remembered that at the end of the day, Ah Fu was still a child. Hence, she bought her some youthful and feminine outfits, because she knew that all the girls her age liked new clothes. Ah Fu jumped for joy and did not notice when Yuan Xuan descended from upstairs. Yuan Xuan leaned against the railing at the foot of the stairs. He had changed into a set of dark gray clothes that he wore at home. His slender thighs were gently crossed while both his hands were stuffed in his pockets, making him appear carefree but distant. His dark gaze was attentively fixed on the womans indifferent face. She cared so deeply about the wellbeing of a mere maid but had no space for him in her heart. The images that he could not erase from his mind put him in a terribly bad mood. The mans face darkened even further as he ignored both the women and walked straight toward the dining room. Ah Fu frantically suppressed her excitement when she saw that the Young Master had alreadye downstairs. Then, she obediently went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes. Mu Chenyan sensed that Yuan Xuan was in a foul mood. Furthermore, he treated her like a stranger when he saw her. She sighed to herself. What is he mad about now? Chapter 142 - Both of Them Ate Their Meals Extremely Quietly

Chapter 142: Both of Them Ate Their Meals Extremely Quietly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan remainedpletely silent after he sat down on his chair. As steam rose from the food that Ah Fu prepared, the mans gloomy expression became less clear through the vapor. Mu Chenyan wisely decided not to provoke the unpredictable man. She chose a seat that was some distance away from him before she quietly sat upright. Her eyes asionally met that mans gaze that constantly swept across her as various doubts stirred in her heart. Both of them ate their meals extremely quietly. Since Mu Chenyan had already bathed, she took a book andzily sat on the sofa after she finished eating. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan went to shower in the bathroom upstairs. Yuan Xuan had not spoken to her since he had returned until now. She carefully pondered this, but concluded that she had not upset him. Could it be that he was uneasy because of some problem in the office? It was already so difficult to figure out someone elses thoughts. However, a proud and aloof person like Yuan Xuan would find it even more difficult to share his problems. Hence, was it wrong for her to assume that he would not share his worries with her? When she thought of these things, Mu Chenyan felt that it was unnecessary for her to keep scratching her head over it. He was free to do as he pleased while she would merely refrain from provoking him. After reading for a while, she felt her eyelids lower slightly. Furthermore, since she had suffered a scarest night and spent most of the night on the rocking chair in the third floor of the house, she had not slept well at all. However, she was inwardly apprehensive about the bed in the master bedroom. If she had to sleep on that bed, she would probably go to the next room instead. Her terribly nervous mind rxed when Yuan Xuan returned. Now that her mind had calmed down, it was natural for her to feel sleepy. Mu Chenyan stood up and stretched, but her body was pulled into the mans strong embrace before she could even gather her thoughts. Stunned, Mu Chenyan said, You... Glimmering water droplets shimmered on Yuan Xuans solid chest while his two distinctly veiny pectoral muscles and his six perfect abdominal muscles openly stered themselves against her soft body... Although they had already made love to each other numerous times, Mu Chenyan would still feel hot and bothered every time their skin touched. A kind of bashfulness would arise throughout every cell in her body while she would be quickly filled with passion as she got heated up... The smell of his body right after his shower was infused with the smell of male hormones. These smells dominated her nostrils and hastened Mu Chenyans breathing. Her heartbeat quickened and her voice trembled as she asked, You ignored me ever since you returned but youre acting like this now... Her gaze fell on the mans seductive Adams apple when she spoke. It bobbed up and down, and Mu Chenyan could not help but gulp as she thought to herself, Was this a feast for the eyes? Yuan Xuans eyes did not lock onto hers when he saw her blushing. Her upright facial features were exquisite and enchanting, especially her little cherry-like mouth. When she opened and closed it, the man could only think of kissing her... However, the beast that he suppressed in his heart began to wantonly snarl when he remembered that someone else might have enjoyed this cherry as well. His gaze turned venomous before he lowered his raspy voice and asked, Where did you go during the two days I was gone? Mu Chenyan had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would still want to check up on her after he returned. His apathetic gaze wandered freely about her face, but she could detect his suspicion. Mu Chenyan felt somewhat helpless but she was still slightly annoyed. He had no right to act so arrogantly. After all, she had tacitly epted the fact that he had openly taken another woman with impure intentions on holiday. He was being a hypocrite by implying that she was the monster. I didnt go anywhere! I merely went to the hospital to visit my mother before I went clothes shopping. You saw everything... Other than that? Yuan Xuans voice was deep and raspy. He gently grasped her slim neck with both hands while waves of darkness surged about his sinister eyes. These words were like a sharp sword that had stabbed him directly in the heart... Chapter 143 - Yuan Xuans Gaze Was Dangerous and Fiery

Chapter 143: Yuan Xuans Gaze Was Dangerous and Fiery

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The distinct hickey on Mu Chenyans neck and the bite marks made the situation crystal clear. Yuan Xuan was certain that he was not the one who had left them there. His gaze lingered there for a moment while an unprecedented sense of humiliation poured out from the bottom of his heart. The slightest bit of irrationality was enough to these sparks of jealousy aze. However, the final barrier in Yuan Xuans heart copsed when he saw that ring mark. He did not believe those photos when he initially saw them. He wanted Yan Jun to trace the source of the photos so he could teach that person a lesson and show them that they could not use such lowly means to destroy the rtionship between Mu Chenyan and himself. Throughout the meal and shower, he was doing his best to calm himself down. He could forgive Mu Chenyan for meeting Wu Ze in his absence and could even pardon them for any dubious feelings that they asionally harbored for each other. However, these thoughts immediately vanished when he saw that distinct bite mark. Is there nothing else aside from that? Yuan Xuans gaze was dangerous and fiery. The stubborn mans eyes repeatedly swept across Mu Chenyan. He was confused as he could not believe that this woman would betray him. Mu Chenyan briefly hesitated when she saw his dark pupils dting. Furthermore, the smell of smoke seemed to permeate from his lean body. Now that things had escted to this point, Mu Chenyan felt that she should not hide it from him anymore. Why would she need to fear the devil if she had not done anything wrong? She quietly said, I went to see Brother Wu Ze in the afternoon and returned after we ate... So, it was Wu Ze after all! The scenes in those pictures once again surfaced in Yuan Xuans mind. His breathing started bing uneven and he faintly smiled before stretching out hisrge warm hands and grasping Mu Chenyans little face. His fingers lingered on the corners of Mu Chenyans red lips before the friction from his rough fingertips made Mu Chenyan lightly tremble. Since she could not read his thoughts, she could only bide her time and wait for him to continue. Did you really just have a meal? Or... Yuan Xuan intentionally paused as he stared into Mu Chenyans eyes. Did you perhaps enjoy a meal while he enjoyed you instead? Hmm? Yuan Xuans tone was gentle but the anger and murderous intent were evident. Huh? Mu Chenyan only understood what he meant after a brief pause. Was he implying that she had been defiled? What nonsense is that? I merely had an innocent meal with him. What else are you imagining? Youve been unpredictable ever since you returned and didnt say a single word to me. However, now youre spouting weird things now that you have something to say! If youre looking for reasons to start a fight, leave me out of it because Im not going to entertain you! Mu Chenyan was slightly annoyed now that she had somewhat figured things out. If this man had sent someone to follow her, did that mean that he would get his revenge when the opportunity arose? Hmph! Why did she have to get his permission to speak to others? It was as if she was his pet. Mu Chenyan pushed his arm away and turned her body before arrogantly walking upstairs. She had initially wanted to sleep in the master bedroom with him to ovee her fears despite the fact that Yuan Zhe had almost raped her on that exact same bedst night. However, she had never expected Yuan Xuan to behave like this upon his return. In any case, it looked like she did not have to inconvenience herself by sleeping in the master bedroom anymore tonight. She would rather let this paranoid man go to hell. Mu Chenyan went to the master bedroom to take her pillow and nkets before carrying them to the next room. She was still furious at his words when she wrapped herself under the covers. Was he insane? She merely had a meal with Wu Ze! Since her heart was still full of resentment, Mu Chenyans exhaustion soon vanished as she tossed and turned on the bed. Rustling noises echoed out from the master bedroom before the terrifying sound of falling items suddenly drifted made her jump. Mu Chenyan was terribly shocked. Nheless, Yuan Xuan had always been somewhat of a loner and had never been someone with a good temper. However, it was extremely rare for him to lose control and go crazy. Moreover, it was even rarer for him to behave in a childish manner by breaking things to vent his anger. What exactly had happened? Chapter 144 - This Rejection Had Aroused the Mans Desire to Subdue

Chapter 144: This Rejection Had Aroused the Mans Desire to Subdue

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The faint uneasiness in her heart became more intense as Yuan Xuans series of abnormalities seemed to indicate something. Mu Chenyan had just thought of crawling up and going over to have a look before the lights in the next room suddenly lit up at this moment and blinded her until she could not open her eyes. Mu Chenyan used her hand to briefly shield her forehead. Before her pupils could even finish contracting, she felt her body briefly lowering. The king-sized bed deeply caved in before the hot-headed man pressed down against her red lips... Mmm... Mu Chenyan was stunned while the sudden attack had greatly soured her mood. Moreover, she did not like kisses like these when his actions were overly rough or violent. You... What are you mad about? The woman barely managed to escape the jaws of death and took the opportunity to question him in a trembling voice while his breathing was still unsteady. What am I mad about? Dont you know? What did you have to do that? Have you fallen for him? Or were you merely doing that to get back at me? Yuan Xuans words puzzled Mu Chenyan. Why did he sound like a drunkard when he was sober? Yuan Xuans bloodshot eyes made him look like a raging lion as he continued to lower his head and taste her crimson lips. Mu Chenyans heart was extremely terrified. She exerted all her strength to push his oppressive chest away while shaking her head from left to right to dodge his kisses. However, she had not expected to drag down the bath towel around his waist while she tore at him... This woman had kicked up a terribly big fuss but this rejection had aroused the mans desire to subdue her. Yuan Xuan absolutely had to conquer her now because of the momentary arousal. He wanted their naked bodies to meet so that it would be fair for both of them. He forcefully ripped off her sleepwear before a fragrance that was unique to women burst forth and faintly seeped into the air from her snowy-white skin. This scent muddled the mans final trace of reason. Yuan Xuan, you... you idiot... The pain immediately forced her to tears as her little hands pounded and scratched in every direction without thinking. Frankly, he was not usually gentle either. For some reason, his consistently forbearing and modest appearance wouldpletely vanish every time he encountered a situation like this. He always resembled an exhausted wild beast on the bed but it was difficult to control him the moment he erupted. Fortunately, at least he was usually deeply attached and full of tenderness towards her. He would take care of her emotions and would not make excessive demands, let alone hurt her without reason. However, he was different today. He carried himself with an abnormal amount of rage and used immeasurable force. The sound of Mu Chenyans sobs irritated him because he could not control his innermost impatience although he did not want to hurt her. How many times did you do it with Wu Ze? Huh? He was simply insane! Yuan Xuan, you... get away from me... Mu Chenyan was so angry that she cursed him and said, Have you gone mad? Do you hear yourself spouting this nonsense? He saw how good she was at iling about. Meanwhile, her rejection made him feel as if his heart was clogged up. It was no wonder that she left him alone and was unconcerned when he went to Liu Li Vi. Was he wrong to assume that she had nned to use this opportunity to take her lover out on a date? The raging jealousy in his heart continued to roar. That distinct love bite became more ring the more he looked at it. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and violently bit those marks several times to use the ones that he created to conceal the previous ones. The pain caused Mu Chenyan to cry uncontrobly. She sobbed as she said, Yuan Xuan... Did you misunderstand... misunderstand me... She was too gentle. He had initially wondered whether he should listen to her exnation. However, he could no longer free himself from her warmth that enveloped him when he entered her. The wild beast that had lost control merely desired to use his actions to express his innermost feelings. How could Mu Chenyans slender and bony little body endure being tossed about like this? A wise man would not fight when the odds were against him. When she could not bear it anymore a short whileter, she tearfully begged, Yuan Xuan... You... Be more gentle... However, Yuan Xuan did not slow down despite her appeals. His lips blocked off her little mouth and prevented her from yelling while he continued ravishing her... The sound of the womans pleading grew softer. She had always been delicate and the two years that she spent in prison had made it worse for her. She was really worried that she would be finished off here. However, she did not want to die because her mother was still in the hospital. Yuan Xuan, am I going to die... Oh, oh... Her uncontroble tears trickled into her hair while her fingernails dug into his muscles. Nheless, the man continued to remain fixated on his task, as if he had could not feel the pain. Does Wu Ze know what you look like when youre underneath me? Id like to let you make aparison between the both of us and see whose stamina and skills are better! Hmm? Yuan Xuans words were like a sharp de that provoked her badly wounded heart and instantly severed her heartstrings. Chapter 145 - Yuan Xuans Voice Was Faintly Discernible, As Though It Came From the Past

Chapter 145: Yuan Xuans Voice Was Faintly Discernible, As Though It Came From the Past

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Before Mu Chenyan fainted, the final scene in her mind depicted the mans arrogant appearance as he hovered above her body. She was only twenty-four years old but she had already experienced unbearable pain and unimaginably traumatizing incidents numerous times. These bitter feelings equipped her with instinctive responses to withdraw. In the darkness, Mu Chenyan seemed to see herself from fourteen years ago. This slim youngdy tied her hair in two braids and naively smiled as she followed her father to the visit the Yuan Family. When she saw the iparably noble yet quiet and gloomy young man under the shadow of the mottled pomegranate tree, the ignorant girls crisp voice called out to him, saying, Brother Xuan... His cold gaze contemptuously nced at her before a faint noise of acknowledgment rang out from his chest. However, that insufferably arrogant figure resembled the genial warmth of sunshine on a winters day that powerfully and forcefully ripped open a wound in her tender heart. This young mans upright figure became her future goal that she persistently sought after and followed for the next ten years without any changes... However, she had never imagined that his silhouette would be the embodiment of a devilish phantom that tortured her. When he used the simr strength of the past to tear at her gentle heart, the intense pain felt both real and imaginary. She was extremely terrified but could not escape her nightmare no matter what. The physical pain made her want to die but nothing could be painful enough to off-set the temporary sharp de in her heart. She treaded deeper into her dreams because the terribly scathing reality made her unwilling to wake up. She had never doubted her initial decisions during these fourteen years. She had told herself all along that she would not regret the past but she would no longer believe in the future either... She had loved him excessively but he gave her so much pain instead... * Doctor Zhou, why hasnt she woken up yet? Yuan Xuans voice was faintly discernible, as though it came from the past. Anxiety and remorse now appeared in the voice of this man who had been calm all along. When the man called Doctor Zhou saw the currently uneasy side of the godlike man who was also the first sessor of Luo Hais Yuan Family, he momentarily hesitated before he decided to tell the truth. Mr Yuan, your wife suffered a shock and caught a chill. In addition... In addition to that, her body could not endure the overly intense love-making... Inparison to Yuan Xuans sonorous voice, this mans extremely gentle voice apparently possessed soothing properties. Mu Chenyan instinctively moved her fingers in hopes that the person called Doctor Zhou could save her. Overly intense love-making? Yuan Xuans expression darkened while he unconsciously pinched his temples because of his headache. Doctor Zhou had embarrassed him! However, he was shocked when he saw the woman on the bed right after he had arrived. He had never imagined that a callous man who appeared to show abstinence to the outside world would disy such a ferocious side in this matter. Then... Are there any other good ideas? Shes already been unconscious for an entire day! Yuan Xuans voice was slightly hoarse. When the remorseful man nced at the woman on the bed and saw that she resembled a crushed butterfly with torn wings, the entire ce seemed like an area of devastation in his sight. Moreover, her beautiful wrists and pale neck that were filled with startling marks constantly used him of his extremely violent actionsst night. Doctor Zhou pushed his sses before he spoke in an awkward tone and said, Mr Yuan, there are times when women are really frail... You... Perhaps if youre somewhat gentler to her and make it up to her emotionally, that might be more effective than calling a doctor over. The grave expression on Yuan Xuans face lessened Doctor Zhous confidence as he spoke. He forced an embarrassed smile before he continued, Your wife will definitely awaken before dinnertime because shes just exhausted now... Mr Yuan, Ill be off then? This reckless doctor was attempting to sneak away after he had finished lecturing Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuans lowered his head before saying, Doctor Zhou, you were rmended by Third Uncle. This matter ends here today so I hope that I wont hear any rumors spreading around outside. Doctor Zhou was so frightened that he inhaled a mouthful of cold air before he continuously nodded and said, I wont say anything! * Inside Blue Spirit Shadowlight Bars luxurious private room In a dark corner, two tipsy men momentarily met each others eyes through the smoke that rose between their fingertips. Wu Ze tly said, You should give me a reason for kidnapping one of my staff, right? Yuan Xuans posture was elegant when he gently leaned against the sofa. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of smoke and exhaled a long misty breath before he narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Ze. Previously, this man had nearly lost his own life to save him. Thus, he had sworn to willingly do anything to repay him, including cutting off his own flesh topensate him. However, Mu Chenyan was certainly excluded as a form ofpensation! Chapter 146 - Debts Must Be Repaid

Chapter 146: Debts Must Be Repaid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion His almond-shaped eyes were as deep and dark as an ancient pond. Yuan Xuan turned his body sideways before he quietly said, I can return that person to you but your debts must be repaid! Wu Zes heart felt suffocated. He suppressed the mes of fury in his heart before he sneered and said, What debts? Do I owe you anything, Young Master Yuan? As Yuan Xuan did not want to argue with Wu Ze, he simply waved his hand before Yan Jun who was on the side understood and went out to make a gesture. Wu Ze had no idea what Yuan Xuan was doing. He quietly watched him before the door of the private room was pushed open shortly after that as Tian Qi dragged a woman over and rushed inside. Yin Shan saw that Yuan Xuan appeared far and aloof. After staying by Wu Zes side for several years, Yin Shan naturally recognized Yuan Xuan. This woman was so frightened that her entire body trembled before she helplessly screamed in a high-pitched voice, saying, Are you guys aware of a concept known as the legal system? What heinous crime have Imitted that you have to treat me like this? This is uwful custody... Before she had finished speaking, she lifted her head and caught a glimpse of the gloomy-faced Wu Ze from the corner of her eye. She suddenly turned silent from fear. Miss Yin, as expected of the head secretary of the well-known Zheng Yan Law Firm, youve certainly learned yourws and statutes well! Yuan Xuans tone was filled with taunts. His gaze secretly disyed his murderous intentions. The man who had always been far removed from the masses currently released an aggressive tyrannical aura throughout his entire body. He had suppressed the atmosphere to its limits. Even an experienced corporate elite like Wu Ze could not endure the powerful aura that this man gave off to others, let alone a woman. Yin Shan was terribly frightened. Her body shivered as she gazed at Wu Ze and cried for help while she pleaded, Big Brother Wu, save me! He saw that Yin Shan was unhurt but had probably suffered a great shock that caused her little face to turn indescribably pale. Wu Ze lowered his face and turned to Yuan Xuan, saying, What terrible thing did she do to make you treat a woman like this? What did Mu Chenyan do for her to intentionally frame her? Yuan Xuan angrily spat. Wu Ze was puzzled when he heard this. He suspiciously nced at his female secretary who had curled up into a ball from trembling. Yin Shan, what did you do to Mu Chenyan?! Wu Ze was clearly aware that although Yuan Xuan was an overbearing person, he would never make trouble without reason. Yin Shan cried when she heard Mu Chenyans name and realized that her misdoings had probably been exposed. Her previous arrogance that came from reciting the articles ofw hadpletely vanished. I... I didnt... Yin Shans voice was choked with sobs. She did not want her lowly and despicable thoughts to be exposed before Wu Ze. She was too petty. When she could not endure Wu Zes stares, she quickly admitted defeat and quietly sobbed. Wu Ze furrowed his eyebrows while an extremely ominous premonition formed in his heart. Yuan Xuan coldly snorted and nced at Yan Jun before Yan Jun understood and passed a stack of photos to Wu Ze. Wu Zes expression grew darker as he looked as those photos. Anyone who was not there when it happened would have really misunderstood that there was something going on between him and Mu Chenyan just by looking at those pictures. Yin Shan, did you take these photos? Wu Ze quietly asked while suppressing his anger. Yin Shan was already crying like a baby. Her big bright eyes had instantly lost their spirit when she heard Wu Ze interrogating her in an angry tone. She hesitated for several minutes before realizing that she could not hide it from him anymore. The situation had already reached the lowest point and there was no turning back. Yes, I took them! I sent someone to deliver them to Zhong Heng International as well. I couldnt tolerate the fact that a married woman like her was still seducing other men... Yin Shans face looked hideous as she screamed because her lipstick was smudged everywhere. Where was her usual obedient persona? Wu Ze stared at Yin Shan. He was still somewhat unable to believe that the secretary whom he had single-handedly trained and treated as his own sister had actually done something like this. You... Why did you do this? Youll get Mu Chenyan in trouble... Wu Ze was so angry that he fiercely snapped off the cigarette butt in his hand before he stood up and paced across the floor. He had never imagined that he would ever lose control like this before. His personal secretary actually backstabbed him. Right now, he was not worried about arguing with Yuan Xuan because his first reaction was to think of Mu Chenyan. Chapter 147 - Jealous

Chapter 147: Jealous

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan quietly groaned because he was clearly extremely unsatisfied with Wu Zes reaction. Yin Shan used the back of her hand to wipe her tears before she sniffled and loudly said, Im in love with you! Thats the reason! Wu Ze, ... Ive been in love with you for a long time! I was just too afraid to say it because I was worried that youd get angry and ignore me... Youre a godlike being whos more than just a mere man in my heart! But how could a decent man like you fall in love with a married woman? Shes even the wife of your closest friend... Yin Shan nced at Yuan Xuan when she spoke but the mans sinister gaze was fixed on Wu Ze while a cold and gloomy breath drifted out of the corners of his mouth. Wu Zes face turned nk. Disappointed, he sat on the sofa and took another cigarette out of his pocket. His hand faintly trembled before he forcefully calmed himself down and lit up the cigarette. He ced it at the corner of his mouth and angrily inhaled two puffs. Wu Ze was at a loss. Were his innermost thoughts so easily revealed? Yin Shan had immediately guessed his intentions. If Yin Shan could tell, did Mu Chenyan know as well? When he thought of Mu Chenyan, Wu Zes heart seemed to ache for no reason. There was only one woman in the world who could affect him like this but he had no right to be concerned about her. ording to understanding of Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan would probably be the one who suffered if Yuan Xuan had misunderstood his rtionship with Mu Chenyan. He could be ndered but that did not apply to Mu Chenyan. Wu Ze smoked for awhile while his eyes turned redder. He lowered his hoarse voice and said, Yin Shan, these are merely your assumptions... When she saw that a handsome and resolute man like Wu Ze had also revealed his dejected and timid side now, Yin Shan knew that he was not lying because he was afraid of Yuan Xuan but because his heart still wanted to protect Mu Chenyan. Yin Shan grimaced and gritted her teeth before she hung her head and continued, I didnt make these assumptions out of thin air! A womans intuition is very urate. There was something strange about the way you looked at her... Ive been by your side for several years but youve never sent a woman flowers! In thenguage of flowers, the daisies that you gave her meant that you would show your love by quietly guarding her... A proud man like you chose to long for her from afar but you couldnt stop yourself from falling in love with her! If Young Master Yuan was not wedged between you, wouldnt you have chosen her and pursued her without holding back? Yin Shan furiously nced at Yuan Xuan when she spoke as if she wanted to prove that she had not merely exposed this secret for her own sake. Wu Ze remained silent when he heard this. He lowered his head and continued to smoke. Yuan Xuan did not move from his original spot when he sneered as he looked at this arrogant female secretary. Had she not attempted to manipte him before this? Wu Ze only raised his head when he had almost finished puffing his cigarette before he said to Yuan Xuan, Yuan Xuan, I only met Mu Chenyan to talk about some normal things, nothing else! I wouldnt lie to you if something happened between us but you can choose not to believe me. However, you must believe Mu Chenyan because shes madly in love with you! Wu Ze gaze flickered when he spoke, revealing an indescribable pain. Yuan Xuan lowered his head while his gaze lingered on the side of Wu Zes face for a long time as he fell into deep thought. When he received news from Yan Jun that the person who sent the pictures was Wu Zes female secretary, Yuan Xuan had already known that he had probably been fooled. This woman had made it obvious when she was captured. Since she was in love with Wu Ze, she became jealous when she saw that Wu Ze had set his heart on Mu Chenyan. She secretly took these photos because she initially assumed that Yuan Xuan would control his wife. Conversely, she had never imagined that she would nearly bring a fatal disaster upon herself. However, the love bites on Mu Chenyans neck were real. Thus, Yuan Xuan had linked both of these two incidents and concluded that the person who vited Mu Chenyan was Wu Ze. During this confrontation, Wu Zes secretary would not have only sent those two ambiguous pictures if she really had proof of them fooling around. Moreover, she would not be behaving in a secretive manner during the critical moments of this vicious argument. Chapter 148 - Why Did Her Body Have to Awaken When Her Heart Had Died

Chapter 148: Why Did Her Body Have to Awaken When Her Heart Had Died

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan had made a name for himself since young. His mind was matured to perfection, and even though he has an iron will in running the business, he was also very good at establishing connections. Numerous important officials in the political circles and the big shots of the business world all had high respects for him. Despite everything, Mu Chenyan was still his weakness. It was difficult for him to remain calm with matters rted to Mu Chenyan. And this time, extreme jealousy had engulfed him! Now that he had calmed down and thought it through, he realized that Wu Ze was right. Mu Chenyan was a woman who could persistently love him both publicly and discreetly. Thus, how could it be possible for a woman like her who had pursued him for more than a decade tomit adultery? Yuan Xuans emotions had really screwed him up. He had really gotten himself into a mess during his fit of ragest night. It was no wonder that she fell unconscious for an entire day after how he treated her. Why did her body have to awaken when her heart had died? He paced the floor like a lion before he suddenly lifted his leg and kicked over several bottles of red wine that were ced on the table. Yin Shan was frightened that she shrieked and hid on one side as the dark red liquid wantonly flowed. Everyone in the room fixed their eyes on Yuan Xuan and watched as he madly struggled. After a while, Yuan Xuan finally calmed down after much difficulty. However, one question began to gue him. If the marks on Mu Chenyans body were not left by Wu Ze, it meant that someone else had taken advantage of her during his absence for two days. That fact that the person was actually brave enough to openly leave a mark there was sufficient to prove that he was very arrogant. Who had dared to trespass his territory?! This person really wanted to die! The man gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind to rip that person with his bare hands if he ever caught him. Wu Ze restrained himself and remained rational during this critical moment. He remained silent and waited for Yuan Xuan to make his position known. He did not believe that Yuan Xuan would make such a big fuss because of a normal meal. Why did she look for you? Yuan Xuan broke the silence. He recalled that he was the one who returned Wu Zes business card to her. Since she had visited Wu Ze while he was at Liu Li Vi, it meant that she did not want to let him disturb them. It looked like this woman had apparently nned this beforehand. To find a job. Now that this situation had reached a critical point, Wu Ze felt that he would really be leading trouble to his doorstep if he did not clearly exin or take responsibility. I admit that I like Mu Chenyan... Wu Ze nced at Yuan Xuan as he spoke. The man had descended into the darkness of the corner but his entire body was seething with a murderous aura. But we are physically and mentally innocent! At least that stupid girl is. I admit that I had my own wishful thinking... Wu Ze stroked his hair as he had a pained expression on his handsome face. Seeing Yin Shan still on the floor in a dazed and rejected state, he smiled bitterly. There are many women who like me but Ive fallen in love with someone whom I shouldnt have. I dont believe in any damn Gods or fate but I believe in love at first sight! The first time I saw her in Ennd many years ago, an indescribable feeling emerged in my heart. Ive suppressed it for so many years, and I secretlypared the women who tried to get close to me with Mu Chenyan... Yuan Xuans calm expression seethed again as his emotions fluctuated. It seemed as though a thunderstorm had started in the peaceful sky that was previously his innermost being. So, somebody else was already noticing his woman long ago! Ill admit that Im somewhat despicable because Im lusting over your wife! Oh, to be precise, she wasnt your wife yet at that time. The expression on Wu Zes gaze became erratic when he spoke. Hmph! If I had been slightly braver at that time andpeted with you fair and square, she would not necessarily be Mrs Yuan! Wu Zes words caused Yuan Xuan to fall into a state of temporary restlessness. His eyes were filled with anger like a fierce, caged beast as he red menacingly at Wu Ze. In your dreams! Yuan Xuan quietly spat out those three words. His gaze was shady with threatening intentions. Chapter 149 - She Would Still be Mrs Yuan Even if He Met Her a Few Years Earlier

Chapter 149: She Would Still be Mrs Yuan Even if He Met Her a Few Years Earlier

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze smiled bitterly seeing Yuan Xuans attitude. Wu Ze knew in his heart that Yuan Xuan already had Mu Chenyan wrapped around his little finger. To him, even if other people coveted her, they were merely just dreaming. Yes, I was dreaming! Those days are over and Ive missed my best chance. I wasnt aware that it was the feeling of love when I first met her... When you appointed me to be herwyer, I kept numbing myself and told myself numerous times in my heart that she was your wife, and these were your household affairs. I had no right to be concerned whether she was having a good life or not! Wu Zes hands trembled as he spoke. He covered his face and rubbed it several times as if he wanted to get rid of the stifling feeling at the bottom of his heart. The side of his handsome face looked rather twisted. The wild beast that he had strictly controlled in the deepest part of his innermost being for several years had finally shaken off its shackles and started to recklessly charge and bite. This pained Wu Ze greatly. His tone grew louder and his manner became more imposing because he felt that he should not be cowardly anymore. Ive never been as ruthless as you. Youre willing to resort to unscrupulous means for your goals! I could never do that and I couldnt bear to see her suffer. Before the counter-evidence was found, Id even thought of using the Wu Familys influence to bribe my connections to save her! For a person who knew thews to actually think of doing something that was uwful, Wu Ze had actually strayed from the path at that time. He was a man who harbored unrequited love. However, the sympathy and love in his eyes could not be fabricated. After enduring it for so long, he did not want to conceal anything else. He said, Yuan Xuan, this is the first time Ive loved a woman so much! However, shes a woman whom I shouldnt love. If God allowed me to meet her earlier, she wouldnt necessarily be Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuan quietened his breathing before he snorted from his nose. She would still be Mrs Yuan even if he met her a few years earlier. This wouldst throughout her entire lifetime! Wu Ze knew that it was impossible for Yuan Xuan to change because of a few things that he had said because his arrogance was innate. He suddenly backed down slightly and said in a low voice. Yuan Xuan, I know I cant have her but I hope that youll treat Mu Chenyan better. When he heard Wu Zes emotional confession, Yuan Xuans apathetic eyes narrowed. He picked up the wine ss on the table and downed half of the red wine. Yuan Xuans cheeks turned slightly red, his arrogant posture was extremely constrained when he quietly said, How would other people know whether I treated her properly or not? When Wu Ze heard this, the man who had initially calmed down suddenly jumped up on the sofa. His veins bulged and his eyes turned red. He nearly roared out his next words. You said you treated her well. When her blood sample that was taken during the premarital checkup at your Third Uncles hospital was lost that year, why did you freaking wait for two years before bringing out such important evidence? You said that you treated her kindly but you let her suffer so much yet refused to even see her once when she was in prison? I dont know what exactly you were trying to do but you should just say and do it now! Do you know that the biggest problem between the two of you is yourck of trust?! Even during this moment, he could not stand seeingYuan Xuan acting so arrogantly. Yuan Xuan got up from the sofa furiously and violently grabbed Wu Ze by his cor. His eyes were bloodshot as he angrily said, What do you mean weck trust? Shes my wife and I know her best, so what right do you have to criticize me here? Why did she look for you when she needed a job? Wu Ze stared at Yuan Xuan and noticed that his hands were faintly twitching, indicating that he was extremely impatient. Wu Ze wondered to himself and thought, Are you thinking ofying your freaking hands on me? Yuan Xuan tightened his grip. Was the brother whom he had gained in exchange for his life going to vigorously beat him up? When Yuan Xuan heard him say that the thing theycked the most was trust, he could not restrain himself any longer. It was certainly rare for a consistently calm person like himself to pull someone elses cor in such a rough manner. Chapter 150 - The Prince Was Angry

Chapter 150: The Prince Was Angry

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hmph! Wu Ze coldly sneered before he said, Tell me then, why didnt she look for you if she needed a job? If theres nock of trust between the both of you, why didnt she look for you when she needed help? Have you asked yourself that? If you fully trusted each other, why did you make such a big fuss when you saw those photos? You came here to confront me and my secretary so I think that youve definitely had your way with Mu Chenyan already, right? Yuan Xuan gritted his teeth hearing Wu Zes provocative words. The strength in his hands decreased, and a sh of remorse crossed his eyes revealing his inner guilt. Wu Ze knew that he had provoked Yuan Xuans inner wound. Wu Ze gritted his teeth when he realized that he had certainly bullied her. Yuan Xuan had actually taken advantage of the woman whom Wu Ze did not even dare to touch. When he thought of how much Mu Chenyan had already suffered from the selfish man before him, Wu Ze could not bear it any longer. He resentfully said, You needed an outlet to vent after you took advantage of her because it was difficult to bnce the remorse and fury in your heart. Although Yin Shan had given you those photos, how could you believe that a stubborn woman like Mu Chenyan would havemitted an extramarital affair? She stupidly loved you for over a decade and her father died because of you. She even waited to be released from prison for two years and submitted herself to you. How much must her heart have loved you for her to conceal all that hatred? She was such a simple-minded woman but you doubted her anyway. Have you asked yourself what right you have to demand her unwavering endurance and love? Yuan Xuans face muscles started to twitch because Wu Zes words hit the bulls eyes in his heart. He was not God and had a selfish side as well. However, Yuan Xuans pride was seriously wounded as Wu Zes words struck the depths of his heart. Nheless, he did not want to lose to his rival in the matter of love now. Its my right because she loves me! She would never leave me! Yuan Xuans cold-blooded side gave him a sinister presence, as he sputtered out his words coldly and mercilessly. He had always been the ruler of other peoples fate. He believed that he had to punish those who took advantage of him. Mu Chenyan was already a little animal trapped in his hunting circle and would not be able to escape. He hadpletely wrapped her in his hands. Wu Ze was extremely furious when he heard his words. He shook off Yuan Xuans arm and took a step back before he pointed at Yuan Xuans nose and roared, Are you that stubborn to repent to this point? Youre really a freaking idiot if youre behaving recklessly taking advantage of Mu Chenyans unwavering feelings! I truly regretted saving you in the past. Why didnt you just die in Ennd? That way, Mu Chenyan would only suffer for a while instead of an entire lifetime! Shell suffer as long as youre alive because she can neither love nor hate you. Do you think that is nice? No one had ever scolded Yuan Xuan while pointing at his nose like this before. It seemed as though a war could happen at any moment. Yan Jun and Yin Shan were dumbfounded as they stood at the doorway like a couple of blockheads. Meanwhile, Tian Qi whose emotions were always unreadable was now scratching his head looking stupefied. Tian Qi pondered, Should I do something if Young Master and Young Master Wu really start fighting? Yan Juns mind was also torn. He thought, Both of them were bosom buddies but theyve truly gotten themselves into a freaking mess today. How am I going to fix this situation now? Moreover, Third Young Master would definitely notpromise for his wifes sake. Seeing how Yuan Xuans face had turned purplish-red from rage, beads of sweat trickled down Yan Juns head. Oh dear, Luo Hai was about to undergo great changes! The Prince was angry! Chapter 151 - What A Good Actor! Pfft!

Chapter 151: What A Good Actor! Pfft!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The atmosphere became extremely awkward. Both of them stood against each other and the temperature of the room seemed to drop below 273 degree Celsius! Suddenly, the phone rang breaking the awkward moment! Yuan Xuan picked up the phone quickly seeing the name shing on the phone screen. Ah Fu? Yuan Xuan seemed to havee to his senses and had gotten rid of his jealous thoughts. Seeing the call was from Ah Fu, it must be rted to Mu Chenyan. The look on his face changed entirely as he asked urgently, Is the Young Mistress awake? Yuan Xuan sighed in relief after the person on the other side of the line answered him. Ending the call, he saw Wu Ze was still staring at him. Did the two of them almost got into a fight just now? Hurmph! His wife was still with him, why would he need to fight him? Yuan Xuan loosened the tie around his neck and grabbed his slightly crumpled jacket. The handsome man said in a low voice, Bring your secretary away! Also, Im reminding you that Mu Chenyan is my wife and you are my brother! The next time you see her, call her your sister-inw! Wu Ze, ... What a good actor! Pfft! * The sky had turned dark just when Yuan Xuan arrived at the old mansion. From the second floor, Mu Chenyan caught a glimpse of the silver sports car driving slowly into the garage. She could not help but admire Yuan Xuans persistence and loyalty. Every man with a high social status loved cars and would bring a brand new car home every other day. Bentley, Rolls Royce, and Ferrari; there were never enough of it! They would drive this car today and the other car tomorrow, treating each car fairly. Yuan Xuan also had a few luxury cars in his garage. However, if he himself was driving, it will definitely be this phantom-like sports car without a doubt. Many said that ones personality and temper would affect ones living habit. If it was true, then Yuan Xuan would be a slightly stubborn person! His personality caused him to be extremely territorial! Since the ntations in Hibiscus Garden and the thousand acres manor in the Liu Li Vi were his private territory, it could serve only him. Mu Chenyan gradually realized that she was like a furry little bunny that identally hopped into his territory. She ate his carrots, dug around his cabbage patch and tumbled around his potato carriage... Just when she was about to leave, he had sat her down to talk about terms and interest! ... You just got up, why are you sitting here barefoot? When Yuan Xuan walked in, he saw her sitting on the bay window with her arms hugging her knees. Her head leaned against the corner of the wall and she was staring nkly outside the window with her dull eyes. The light blue soft cotton home clothing entuated her graceful and delicate maiden-like curves. Hearing Yuan Xuans doting reproach, Mu Chenyan raised her head with her red lips slightly apart. She looked at him with her big and bright eyes as though she was being wrongly used. He walked forward, hugged her from behind and put his arms around her slender waist. He rested his chin on the nape of her neck and his warm breaths on her seemed to raise the temperature between the both of them. Mu Chenyan trembled slightly and hershes seemed to have tears on them. She was afraid internally, but she did not dare reveal any signs of rejection on her face. She refrained herself and bit her lips! Chenyan, Im sorry! I misunderstood you... Yuan Xuan apologized profusely. He tightened his hug around her as though he was afraid that he would lose her. Mu Chenyan was starting to have difficulties to breathe. She tried to calm her heart and turned her head to the side. She did not want to see his face... Tell me, Chenyan, who bullied you? Ill avenge you! Yuan Xuan would speak in a very soft tone when he wasforting someone. Even though he was a thoughtful and observant man, he missed out one thing. He should have figured out that this proud woman would not go overboard, yet he still humiliated her... Mu Chenyan smiled coldly. After all, what he cared about the most was her chastity... He had said that he has germophobia! This man was too proud and arrogant. He treated her as part of his private asset. Yuan Xuan, if I broke thew of chastity, would you let me go? Mu Chenyan smiled gloomily as she said. There was a faint of bitterness on her face. She thought in her heart, the deeper the love in the past, the colder she felt at this moment! Chapter 152 - Do You Want To Kill Yourself?

Chapter 152: Do You Want To Kill Yourself?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan tightened his arms around Mu Chenyan and lifted her chin with his slightly trembling fingers. He stared into her soul through her deep eyes and said in a low, coaxing manner, I dont care about your virtue! I need to find the one who defiled you and avenge you... He was telling the truth. Everything else that he cared about meant nothingpared to Mu Chenyan! Even if she was no longer clean, she was still Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and said in a brief cold tone, Besides you, no one else will bully me! Do you want to kill yourself? Two years ago, I was trapped in that cage and you broke the hands of those who bullied me! Right now, Im trapped in this cage. If youre willing to let me go, I will be very thankful! ! Yuan Xuan was moved by her words. His eyes turned cold and the anxious beast at the bottom of his heart was trying to get out again. He was afraid to lose her, and he hated such feeling of helplessness. He tightened his hug and Mu Chenyan frowned in pain. Her knees trembled and the bad memories fromst night reminded her to not deny him when the odds were against her. Since she cannot win by force, she should go with what he wanted! Yuan Xuan saw the painful look on her face, he suddenly realized how ridiculous and foolish his actions were. Even at this moment, he was hurting her! He quickly loosened his grip and started caressing her. His restrained voice sounded a little hoarse as he tried to control his emotions and appeased her in aforting manner. Dont worry and stop over-thinking! I wont ask if youre not willing to say! Mu Chenyan remained silent. She did not even want to look at him. As Yuan Xuan look at her delicate red lips, he suddenly lowered his head and nted a light kiss on them. Mu Chenyan trembled and scenes ofst nights traumatic moments yed slowly in front of her eyes. She was afraid of enraging Yuan Xuan by retaliating and history will repeat itself. Thus, she dare not make a move. Yuan Xuan tried his best to restrain his kiss and did not do anything else. There was not a hint of hostility around him. Instead, he hugged Mu Chenyan tightly and continued to say in aforting voice, You can stay here at ease. After a while, you can go out and work if you want to. As for the thoughts of leaving me, Im sure that youll slowly forget about it, right? Yuan Xuan spoke extremely softly and gently. But Mu Chenyan knew that it was amand and not a discussion. Mu Chenyan eyes opened widely. She stared furiously at Yuan Xuan, the depths of her heart roaring wantonly for the love-hate feelings she has for him. Her throat gave out a few choking sounds as she sobbed, Yuan Xuan, you... what do I have to do for you to let me go... Yuan Xuan looked at her delicate face affectionately. Suddenly, he stood up straight, carried her from the bay window and put her on the bed. He covered her with a nket and rubbed his big rough hands on her little feet, See, its freezing cold! He avoided Mu Chenyans question. He looked at the persistent look in Mu Chenyans eyes and continued saying in a low voice, Little Chenyan, please forgive me! ! Im afraid of losing you... Dont sit there next time, youll catch a cold. It will be difficult for a woman who caught a cold to bear a child! Youre irritated now, but when you think about the baby that well have in the future, will you feel better? Mu Chenyan was so angry that she could feel the blood rushing to the top of her head! A baby? He was still thinking about having a baby? ? Who said that she would bore him a child? * Mu Chenyan did not go downstairs for dinner. Yuan Xuan got Ah Fu to bring her dinner up to her. Mu Chenyan was still feeling weak, she slept after eating a little even though it was not bedtime yet. In the midst of blurriness, she thought she could hear conversationsing from downstairs. Im sorry, Third Young Master, the surveince cameras are not working. Everything that happened yesterday and the day before was not recorded... The helper Liu Hui was trembling in fear and he dare not even raise his head. The Third Young Master wanted to look at the surveince videos recorded during the two days that he was away. Coincidentally, the surveince camera was broken at such a critical moment! Chapter 153 - Sleep With Me

Chapter 153: Sleep With Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan sat on the sofa and looked at Liu Hui in anger. The was a dangerous aura in his cold dark eyes! The cold aura made him seem as though he was apletely different personpared to when he wasforting the woman upstairs. Liu Hui felt as though he had sold his life for money while doing this job. One needed to be really courageous to serve the Third Young Master. Since Butler Fu was sick, Liu Hui became the acting butler for a few days. Moreover, Liu Hui had always been in charge of the Yuan Family Mansions security. So how the surveince camera was broken on the day that something happened to Mu Chenyan. Where did the Eldest Young Master go? Yuan Xuan suddenly asked coldly. Liu Hui was flustered, but he tried to remain calm and answered respectfully, Eldest Young Master went out early in the morning yesterday. From what I heard from Peace Mansion, he went for a business trip! Did he wander around Hibiscus Garden in the past two days? The oppressive aura from Yuan Xuans noble status caused his tone to have an overpowering force! Liu Hui did not know why did the Third Young Master ask about this, but he knew in his heart that this was a tough question to answer. If he were to say yes, the Third Young Master might go against the Eldest Young Master. If that happened, he will have a hard time with the Eldest Young Master. If he were to say no, in reality, he did saw the Eldest Young Mastering to Hibiscus Garden at night when he was on duty. The Eldest Young Master even ordered him to inform the other helpers to not walk around casually... Since a mere helper would not dare to question their Master, he dared not say much at that time. However, he did not think that the Third Young Master would call for him today to ask him about this. Liu Hui was not sure why did the Third Young Master want to look at the surveince videos all of a sudden. Even so, he knew that he was in a tight spot with two inevitable situations right in front of him. He was so done for! He would get into trouble no matter what! Liu Hui knew in his heart that he would soon be fired! Yuan Xuan... The womans voice was overly gentle and soft. If he was not sensitive to her voice, he would most probably miss it. The three of them in the living room raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the source of the voice. They saw the pale look on the womans face. She stood at the bottom of the stairs in her pajamas barefoot. Her extremely frail body looked as though she might faint anytime. Yuan Xuan quickly got out of the sofa. Her pajamas was slightly loose and flowy, making her look like she would be blown away by the wind. Yuan Xuan strode over to her quickly and put his hands around Mu Chenyans waist. Then, he scolded softly, Why did you walk out of the room in such thin clothing? Dont you know that you just recovered? His scolding caused her eyes to turn red. Mu Chenyan was like a child who was sleep-walking as she leaned her body against him. She puckered her lips and pleaded softly, Im scared, I want you to sleep with me... What happened? You had a nightmare? Yuan Xuan saw the look on her face, it was as if she had just woken up from a bad dream! Mu Chenyan nodded heavily. Be good, theres a little more left to discuss here. Go back upstairs first and Ill be right there, okay? Yuan Xuan turned around and stared at Liu Hui. Liu Hui secretly prayed in his heart that the Third Young Master would forget about the topic they were having. I dont care, I want you to sleep with me now... Mu Chenyan acted like a spoiled child once again. She puckered her lips and started sniffling softly. The womans teary eyes made her looked extremely adorable and Yuan Xuans heart melted in an instant. Despite how fiercely Yuan Xuan used to treat her, she still hoped to findfort from him. He surrendered, Okay! Dont be scared, Ill sleep with you! He carried her without any hesitation and walked towards the bedroom. Liu Hui stood still in the living room and looked towards Ah Fu. He suddenly let out a huge sigh as if he was saved and almost copsed on the floor... * This was her first time dreaming about Shu Qinger in the past three years. She saw Shu Qinger smiling at her while raising a bloody fetus in her hand. Her ghostly voice echoed in her ears, Mu Chenyan, look, this is Yuan Xuans child! Dont you remember? You killed him with your own hands. Mu Chenyan was petrified. She lowered her head and saw both of her hands covered in fresh blood, I didnt kill anyone... I didnt...

Chapter 154: Bring Me a Dozen of Such a Beautiful Man

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhe was not aware that Mu Chenyans nightmare saved his life! Mu Chenyan pestered Yuan Xuan and stopped him from asking about the hickey on her neck. Yuan Xuan could tell that Mu Chenyan deliberately tried to avoid this topic. Since their rtionship was fragile as if walking on thin ice, he would not ask if she did not want to talk about it. Everything else was nothingpared to Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan did not know when did he start behaving this way, but he took Wu Zes words into his heart. Wu Ze was right, the thing that both of themcked the most was trust. If she trusted him, she would have told him and there was no need for him to investigate the matter. Nheless, even when Mu Chenyan was acting like a spoiled child in front of him, Yuan Xuan felt as though he never reached deep into her heart. It was the first time that Yuan Xuan felt so helpless facing Mu Chenyan. He only had one thought right now. If he could not do things forcefully, then he would spoil her just like before. After all, a spoiled woman would be much better than an abused woman, right? * The business trip that Yuan Zhe went was just an excuse. In reality, he saw that Yuan Xuan had returned and he was feeling anxious. Since Mu Chenyan had evidence in her hands, if she were to change her mind and tell Yuan Xuan about his crimes, he would be dead without a doubt! Thus, he found an excuse and escaped somewhere else! However, more than a week had passed and the Yuan Family was still very peaceful. Only then did Yuan Zhe dared to sneak back into the Peace Mansion after a few days of hiding. He behaved himself and nothing happened for a few days. After such an incident, Mu Chenyans personality became even colder. Sometimes, she would spend a few hours sitting at the balcony and stared nkly out the window. Yuan Xuan watched her day after day and he was getting very worried! Since it was nearing Chinese New Year, Yuan Tian was no longer as busy as she used to be. Yuan Xuan knew that Yuan Tian was probably the only one in the Yuan Family who could walk into that womans heart. Therefore, he sent Yuan Tian to apany her. Yuan Tian alone was equivalent to ten people. After she arrived at Hibiscus Garden, the house started getting lively and the two of them seemed to have a never-ending conversation. As Chinese New Year approached, half of the workers in the mansion were away and the huge Yuan Family Mansion seemed very quiet. Yuan Tian felt that Mu Chenyan was feeling sick from being suffocated. Her brother treated a beauty like her as though a pet in a cage. No matter how patient Mu Chenyan was, she would eventually be sick from boredom. Ill bring you out for some fresh air! When the weekend approached, Yuan Tian dragged Mu Chenyan out without saying much. Mu Chenyan did not know what Yuan Tian was trying to do. Anyhow, she did not have any idea about having fun, so she allowed Yuan Tian to do as she wished. Yuan Tian drove the car to the city and the two of them activated their shopping mode. After all, her brother would be the one footing the bill, so there was no reason to not shop. Yuan Tian dressed Mu Chenyan up from top to bottom. Mu Chenyan had always been a natural beauty and different styles of clothing looked good on her. If she were to put in more effort into dressing up, she would definitely look more beautiful. Yuan Tians eyes opened wide from astonishment each time Mu Chenyan tried on different sets of clothing. Even the shopkeepers wanted to take pictures of her and share it on their social media so that she could model for them for free. Yuan Tian looked at how beautiful Mu Chenyan was and looked at the ts and jeans that she wore. Instantly, she felt as though she was born in the wrong body. I should do a DNA test to check whether if Im a man. This was the first time in a long time that Mu Chenyanughed so happily seeing Yuan Tians charming yet dejected little face, Bring me a dozen of such a beautiful man! Mu Chenyan also had a naughty side. The two beautiful and confident women had already attracted many peoples attention unintentionally...

Chapter 155: Could It Be That Even Women Need To Have Good Kidneys?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion They did not bring any bodyguards along when they left the house today, so they passed their shopping bags to the malls customer service to help send their purchases back to the mansion. After that, Yuan Tian dragged Mu Chenyan along to eat all kinds of food. Recently, Mu Chenyan did not have much appetite but Yuan Tian cured her in just one day! After all, she was a food lover! It would be unprofessional for a food lover to not want to eat! Their stomachs were filled and Mu Chenyan felt that it was time to return home when Yuan Tian suddenly thought of something! Your hair has grown longer, lets go style your hair! There will be a lot of events happening in the Yuan Family during Chinese New Year. Youll definitely need to attend as Yuan Xuans wife! Mu Chenyan brushed her uneven hair. It had indeed grown longer and she never bothered to take care of it. When theres an event, the Yuan Family will have their own stylist... As a matter of fact, Mu Chenyan was no longer interested in this. She could no longer find the motivation to dress up for the man that she loved... Yuan Tian said smilingly, We came out today to have fun. You can seduce my brother after having a beautiful haircut. And when you seed in doing so, dont allow him to touch you. Dont you feel better just by thinking about it? Mu Chenyans face turned bright red listening to what she said. Indeed, it had been a long time since she got intimate with Yuan Xuan. Ever since thest time he ravaged her forcefully, she had a phobia about it in her heart. Even the sight of him in bed terrified her. Recalling the intense, physical pain and the immense, mental fear, she could not help but shiver... Yuan Xuan cared about her feelings and he knew that she had not recovered from that incident. Thus, he refrained himself each time he kissed her and suppressed his desire to hug her while he slept. He never had the intention to force her. Even Yuan Tian knew about their current situation. Did Yuan Xuan reach his limit for him to tell his sister about this? ? Mu Chenyan was very shy. She was never one to openly talk and discuss sexual pleasures. However, Yuan Tian was very interested in her brothers love life, How long can my brotherst? Yuan Tian was not married yet, so it was understandable for her to be curious about this topic. Even so, it was very embarrassing when she was the one being questioned. Mu Chenyans face blushed red as she said angrily, How can an innocent girl ask about this? Does he know a lot of techniques? Is he rough in bed? Is he able to satisfy you? Are you ignoring him because of his bad technique? Yuan Tian could not care less and sheughed mischievously. Her words were getting even more shameless and Mu Chenyan could not bear it anymore. She avoided Yuan Tians gaze and cursed Yuan Xuan internally. If he did notin to Yuan Tian about how she did not allow him to touch her, why would Yuan Tian think about all these? Mu Chenyan never discussed this topic with anyone else and she did not know why was Yuan Tian so experienced. She vaguely said, Hes... Hes okay! Im the one whos not okay... Hmm? Youre not okay? Could it be that even women need to have good kidneys? Yuan Tian was oddly excited. As she spoke, she even lifted up her top slightly and bent her neck to look at her tiny waist. It was as if she could look at her own kidneys! Mu Chenyanughed out loud and said bashfully, Why would women need to have good kidneys? Its just that he alwaysins that I have bad physical strength... Mu Chenyan was telling the truth. If Yuan Tian did not ask, she would have never told her. She was always the one who begged for mercy each time and the discontented look on Yuan Xuans face was indeed very scary! My brother seems like a proper abstinence man on the outside, who knew that the Third Young Master Yuan actually has this side of him! ! Yuan Tian waved her tiny fist in the air excitedly, as if she was Columbus who discovered the New World... This topic suddenly made Mu Chenyan realized that she might have gone too far. A man with such huge needs would still need to satisfy himself every other day although he had a wife! Thest time they had a cold war was more than half a month ago. He must be having a rough time since almost a month had passed already. Was it time for her to forgive him once? Chapter 156 - Inwardly, He Was a Sunshine Boy

Chapter 156: Inwardly, He Was a Sunshine Boy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was lost in her thoughts. She had no idea what to think of as Yuan Tian dragged her walking along. Yuan Tian brought Mu Chenyan to Bewitched Moon Styling House. Given that the styling house was a popr branded chain and it was the weekend, there was a crowd in it. Some pop stars and artists would style their hair here. Even youngdies of the aristocratic families and celebrities would also patron here. Spouse of leaders of Luohais important variety shows would seek styling help from this ce too. Yuan Tian found an exclusive, private room and called for Little White Bunny, whom she liked to tease a lot, Is Yan Jiangsheng here? Little White Bunny saw that it was Yuan Tian and enquired in a low voice, Hes here. Does Sister Tian Tian want him to personallye over to style your hair? Mu Chenyan felt that the name Yan Jiangsheng was familiar. She had not been following the fashion scene and she was overseas for some years. After returning and that incident urred. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to not know who was Yan Jiangsheng. Even though she was the number one socialite, Mu Chenyan had been keeping a low profile, only gaining fame with her literary talent coupled with her natural beauty and the influence of the Mu Family in Luo Hais business world. Even when she attended banquets, she would utilize the service of the Mu Familys own stylist to do a simple makeup. This kind ofrge, branded shop was rarely visited by Mu Chenyan. ... Little White Bunny was sent off by Yuan Tian to go call for Yan Jiangsheng. She made herselffortable just like how she was in the Yuan Family, nestling on the sofa and eating the fruits specially provided for their room that the little stylist had brought over. After a while, a handsome talld rushed over hurriedly. His hair was dyed in a golden yellow, and there were four to five piercings on his ears, all filled a variety of earrings. Great White Rabbit, how wonderful! The busy bee is really here! Yuan Tian swayed her hips as she lunged at him to tter the handsome man and pinched his face. Tsk tsk tsk. How tender! Mu Chenyan was speechless. Did this little sister-inw of hers not know that her beauty was inherently lethal? With her making such unscrupulous contact with an adult man, imagine the amount of self-control that man would need in order to not push her down and want her! Mu Chenyan sized up thed who had a very cool appearance. His expression did not change, but he was staring at Yuan Tian with a little fondness and yfulness in his eyes. This was Yan Jiangsheng? He seemed to be in his twenties, and Yuan Tian had called him Great White Bunny... Nheless, he was indeed handsome! He had fair skin and a pair of trending Korean-style phoenix eyes. His angr face had traces of mischief, yet his eyes were the look of a gentlemans, which was not sleazy at all. Sister Tian Tian, what hair would you like to set for today? Yan Jiangsheng spoke in a very nice baritone voice, but it did not match his age because it was overly deep! Mu Chenyan could not help to sweep a few more nces at him. She actually felt that he looked familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen him. Who are you calling sister? Im only one year younger than you, alright? You dont engage in proper work, and youre this flippant as a stylist! Yuan Tian seemed to be very close to Yan Jiangsheng. Her slim waist nestled on the sofa once more, and she pointed at Mu Chenyan, Help my sister-inw to do her hair. Her attractiveness value has to be raised to the pinnacle! Yan Jiangsheng looked at Mu Chenyan, and his eyes lit up in amazement. He motioned in a chivalry manner to invite Mu Chenyan to the seat while smilingly said, Miss Mu, its been long. Mu Chenyan was secretly surprised. Those who referred her as Miss Mu and not Mrs Yuan were surely her old acquaintances! Yan Jiangsheng. Hes thergest shareholder of this chain store. He represented Luo Hai to participate in an international stylingpetition in the Southeast Region and won Gold for it. Hes also currently the judge and the organizingmittee of thepetition. Yuan Tian introduced. Yuan Jiangsheng had always responded ndly to his professional achievements, but hearing theming from Yuan Tians mouth, he actually felt rather proud of himself. Mu Chenyan looked carefully at Yan Jiangshengs face and suddenly remembered that he was Yuan Tians friend from high school. He also seemed to be a racer and had been relentlessly pursuing Yuan Tian for a while previously. At the entrance of the Yuan Family Mansion, Mu Chenyan had seen him led a group of boys on bikes with their engines throttling loudly. They looked cool, with their ripped jeans making a youthful promation. That time, the Yuan Familys household servants stared at this group of kids like they were looking at thieves. Mu Chenyan still remembered the unruly character of Yan Jiangsheng. With his thug-like ir, he hooted at the Yuan Familys servants, So what if you all are rich? Im here to look for my wife. Whats that got to do with all of you? No one could expect that unruly teenager back then to be Luo Hais famous chief stylist today! He still had that impish aura on him, but one could see that the ignorant teenager from back then, now had a sense of forbearance and fortitude after years of sedimentation. After Yan Jiangsheng had given his greetings, he began to size up Mu Chenyan. In actual fact, there was nothing much to be observed of Mu Chenyan. Her hair was not thick and was of average length. From her point of view, just a simple and short bob haircut would settle it all. Yan Jiangsheng seemed to have his own idea though. He had his young disciple gave Mu Chenyan a hair wash before he cut, trimmed, and then permed and dyed her hair. All these took three hours. The food eaten during lunch time hadpleted digested. Mu Chenyans stomach was growling in hunger, while Yuan Tian snuggled on the sofa, snacked, yed with her phone, flipped magazines, and teased the handsome Little White Bunny. She was definitely chilling in the extreme. After Mu Chenyans hairdo waspleted, Yuan Tian had finished two buckets of popcorn and a box of donuts. She burped and jumped up from the sofa, totally bbergasted by Mu Chenyans lob hairstyle. Her hair length did not change much, but after styling it, it was even more supple and elegant. The style refined her face and features, herrge eyes were looking around animatedly. Yuan Tian felt she was seeing the Mu Chenyan back from her high school days. Youre absolutely gorgeous! I suddenly feel that if that pretentious puritanical man in our home is still as proud as a peacock, hes not worthy of you at all! Yuan Tian fondled her chin and reflected her thoughts earnestly, setting off Yan Jiangsheng, who was by the side, inughter. Is he that mad sister-guardian of yours who should have been admitted to the psychiatric hospital, your elder cousin brother, Third Young Master Yuan? Despite being in the service line, Yan Jiangshengs uninhibited and unruly character was still the same old. In front of Mu Chenyan, he had openlymented on Yuan Xuans conduct... Mu Chenyan secretly broke out in sweat for Yuan Xuan. It turned out that our cold and arrogant puritanical man, Third Young Master Yuan, appeared as such in the eyes of others... Yuan Tian cackled. Such resentment you have! Hes a Muay Thai enthusiast. You came to my house to tease and flirt with me. Who should he have beaten up if not you? He cant be embracing a beauty in his own arms but not allow you to marry, can he? Youd have to marry someone sooner orter, and I believe that Im the best fit! Its not toote if you regret now. Ive not married, nor have you. Marry me, and your hair will be personally trimmed and styled by your husband for your whole life. Just thinking about it makes one excited, doesnt it? Yan Jiangshengs voice sounded extremely pleasant. Although he was joking with that cool appearance of his, yet he was serious in expressing his sincerity to Yuan Tian. Mu Chenyan watched the two and felt that they were a good match. Both of their characters were free and easy. They might be outspoken, but they actually had a meticulous mind. Mu Chenyan could sense that when Yan Jiangsheng was styling her hair. With such an aplishment at such a young age, there must be an exnation to it! His service made her felt exceedinglyfortable. Though outwardly, he appeared to be arrogant, inwardly, he was a sunshine boy. Chapter 157 - One-sided Love

Chapter 157: One-sided Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hearing Yan Jiangsheng confessing his love frankly made Yuan Tian chuckled. Heh, you were beaten up by my brother and yet you still havent changed a bit. Ive always treated you as my bro, so stop fooling around. Whats more? Dont you already have Little Yao? Mu Chenyan did not know what was the story between Yan Jiangsheng and Yuan Tian, but from their conversation, she understood that the one who had caused them to be separated was Yuan Xuan. Nheless, truth to be told, Yuan Tian was also not the kind of person to be restrained. If she was really willing, Yuan Xuan would not have separated them. Yan Jiangsheng casually ced his arms on Yuan Tians shoulder and inly said, Alright then, Ill wait for you. Anytime you want a man, juste look for me! No problem! Deal, BP 1 ! . It refers to those fans who benefit from the stars work but do nothing to contribute to it; https://hahachn.wordpress/2018/02/24/bai-piao-fan/) Yuan Tian chuckled and casually removed Yan Jiangshengs arm, taking Mu Chenyans hand and was prepared to leave. Yan Jiangshengs handsome and dazzling faze turned dim all of a sudden. The vigor and vitality of the young man coupled with his gloomy expression gave off a sense of disharmony. ... Leaving Bewitched Moon, Mu Chenyan became curious about Yuan Tians love life. Yuan Tian was already passed the age of 20. Even though she did not go to university and had hardlye across any peers, it was impossible that her love life remained empty all these years? Moreover, Yuan Tian was naturally beautiful, and the men were blind to not pursue the youngdy of the Yuan Family. Had Yuan Tians heart really never be moved at all? Tian Tian, have you never liked a boy? Mu Chenyans curious tone cracked up Yuan Tian. You assume that I like Yan Jiangsheng, dont you? Were really just bros! Yuan Tians nonchnt response was like her usual bearing. Compared to Yan Jiangshengs attitude, Yuan Tian was overly nonchnt. Mu Chenyan secretly felt sorry for Yan Jiangsheng in her heart. This was probably a one-sided love. How about other boys? Mu Chenyan pressed on. Others? Havente into contact with any. Youre well aware that I entered society right after I graduated from high school. Every day, besides learning, my lifes revolved around hospital matters. The people whom I meet are either soldiers or patients, and theyre hoping for me to save them. How would they think of dating me? Then, do you remember where have you been for the past three years? Who have youe into contact with? Mu Chenyan had been bothered by this issue all this while. Yuan Tian held onto the steering wheel as she watched the traffic ahead. Cant remember much. Besides learning, performing surgery, ying with various little white bunnies, I dont think theres any man. Yuan Tian said indifferently. She had always been this unconcerned anyway. Mu Chenyan sighed and said softly, Youd still have to marry someone someday. I hope you will marry for love and not for the sake of marriage. Is there a difference? Yuan Tian did not know that there was such a saying. Did people not marry because of love? In this world, there are many cases where people loved in vain. You wont be able to understand since you havent experienced it. Whats more? Sometimes, you might be loving him and he might be loving you but both of you might not be on the same channel. Even if you married each other, it could be a misced love... While Mu Chenyan was speaking, Yuan Tian was already looking at her with a questioning gaze. Mu Chenyan, are you talking about you and Yuan Xuan? He didnt care about you when youre pursuing him and loving him. Now that youre feeling tired, you dont want this kind of love anymore, yet he got you trapped in a marriage? Yuan Tian knew Mu Chenyan too well. Their rtionship was more than that of sisters-inw, hence she could point out the heart of the matter directly! Mu Chenyan felt that she was directed by Yuan Tian back to the main point. She smiled and diverted the conversation, Drive carefully and watch the road. Just when she had finished speaking, a bright yellow Ferrari suddenly swung out from the auxiliaryne beside and bumped into the rear end of Yuan Tians white Porsche... Screech! The sound of metal scraping and cars breaking rang through the dark sky. It was the evening peak, and all the pedestrians stopped in their tracks. The two luxury cars kissed each other, and the two aggressive little white bunnies that exited from the car were both beautiful looking and pleasant to the eye. It would be breaking news if a catfight were to break out between them! The pedestrians excitedly took out their phones and began to spread the news...

Chapter 158: Yuan Tians Mouth Was to a Force to Be Reckoned With

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was shocked. The performance of both cars was quite good, hence they had only scrapped each other lightly, and the people in the cars were safe. But when both parties got down from their car and saw each other, Mu Chenyan could not help but rant in her heart. As luck would have it, enemies had a way of running into each other. Yo! Isnt this the great Miss Feng? What a coincidence! Your elder brother was chasing after my ass before this and was beaten up by me, and now your car is stuck to my cars ass. How is it that you people from the Feng Family just love to stick up to peoples ass? Mu Chenyan thought in her heart, Yuan Tians mouth is such a force to be reckoned with! She noticed that Feng Raos expression was rather arrogant when she first stepped out of the car, but then she was stunned by Yuan Tians pre-emptiveunch of words! The reason Feng Zhi that idiot did not recognize Yuan Tian and dared to flirt with her in the bar was that Yuan Tian rarely appeared in the aristocratic families gatherings. Even if she did, the two did not make any contact with each other. Most of the outsiders only knew of Yuan Ran, the eldest youngdy of the Yuan Family, but they hardly knew Yuan Tian. However, as a socialite, Feng Rao recognized Yuan Tian. Feng Rao was no fool. Her father had relied on the Yuan Family to secure a bank loan to turn their financial situation around. Moreover, Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tangzhong now held substantial power in the political and business world. She could not afford to offend the people of the Yuan Family. Furthermore, colliding into the rear-end of others meant that she was the one to bear full responsibility. There was nothing to argue about. However, she was used to being domineering. She had initially wanted to vent in anger and question the other party when she came out of the car, but she was now at a loss and had no idea what had just happened! Oh, its Miss Yuan. You see, my skill isnt that good, I couldnt keep up with the cars performance. Just now, I was distracted and didnt step on the brake in time and got too close. Illpensate you. Seeing it was Yuan Tian, Feng Rao immediately changed her arrogant demeanor and smiled apologetically in spite of Yuan Tians unpleasant words. She smiled and spoke in a coaxing voice, which caused ones hair to rise. Mu Chenyan recognized that bright yellow Ferrari. It was a gift that Mu Chenwu had bought for Feng Rao! Feng Rao had on her a super mini-skirt and knee-high boots. Her wavy hair was fetching in the extreme. She flipped her hair, and her face was full of apologetic smiles. She did not notice that the woman beside Yuan Tian was Mu Chenyan. It looked like the hairdo that Yan Jiangsheng had set was a sess. Yuan Tian observed that Feng Raos attitude was passable and coldly snorted, No need for you topensate. I dont want to have any connections with you. You better leave quickly. Seeing that the gloating passers-by were taking pictures and video recording them, Yuan Tian was getting annoyed. She did not want to be theughing stock of the entire city. After all, thest time she had a fight in the pub, she had be famous overnight... Yuan Tian wanted to get rid of Feng Rao quickly, hence her attitude was not that pleasant. Little did she expect Feng Rao toe closer and smiled. Im terribly sorry, Miss Yuan. Ill treat you to a meal another time as an apology. As she spoke, Feng Rao swept a nce at Mu Chenyan and identified her. The amazement on her face was undisguisable. Mu Chenyan? Yuan Tian snorted. It was as if Mu Chenyans grandeur was her masterpiece. The proud Big Tian said in a smirking manner, Gorgeous, right? Bewitched Moons Yan Jiangsheng personally styled it for her. Feng Rao revealed an expression of admiration, even her eyes were filled with aspiration. Yan Jiangsheng rarely styles other peoples hair in person nowadays, but you were actually able to ask him... She recalled that Yan Jiangsheng not only had a unique sense of judgment for beauty, but his skills were also exceedingly good. Moreover, he was really handsome, and having him style ones hair was also an enjoyment! Unfortunately, Yan Jiangsheng became famous at a very young age and was the biggest shareholder of his chain stores. Hence to have him personally style ones hair was as difficult as reaching for the heavens. Thest time, the highly popr celebrity, Zhou Xiaomeng, came to Luo Hai to promote her new movie, she had wanted to ask him to set her hair for her for the red carpet walk. She offered a high price of a hundred thousand for each service, but he did not ept the offer. Chapter 159 - Mu Chenyan Got into the Car, and Her Heart Could Not Settle Down for a Long Time

Chapter 159: Mu Chenyan Got into the Car, and Her Heart Could Not Settle Down for a Long Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Seeing Feng Raos smitten look, Yuan Tian smiled contemptuously. The next time you want to ask him to style your hair, you can just mention my name. Hell be there anytime! Miss Yuan, are you very close to him? Feng Rao looked extremely interested. Mu Chenyan was speechless. She really admired how women were able to still gossip and chatted about the handsome and chic hairstylist at an ident scene... From Mu Chenyans point of view, Yan Jiangshengs attitude towards Yuan Tian was not just being present to style her hair whenever she called him. He had even promised to sleep with her if she wanted him to... Feng Rao closed in on Mu Chenyan, enthusiastically took her small hands and said cautiously, Yan Jiangshengs skill is indeed good, but I think that its because Chenyan is already naturally blessed with good looks. Others who had their hair styled might not look as dazzling as Chenyan. The number one socialite truly lives up to her reputation of elegance! Feng Rao ttered on and on. Mu Chenyans eyes were full of astonishment. She did not open her mouth to respond but calmly watched Feng Rao fawned over her... When Yuan Tian felt extremely pleased hearing Feng Rao, as if she was praising her. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Thats for sure. This is my sister-inw! My sister-inw. Got it? Mu Chenyan felt that the sky was filled with crows flying by, crackling caw, caw, caw... The way Yuan Tian spoke sounded like a child boasting proudly of her new toy! Her words also seemed to imply that stupid brother of yours wont know how to find you such a decent sister-inw... Feng Rao smiled embarrassingly and said to Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian. Lets not block the road and obstruct the traffic. Ill personallye and apologize to Miss Yuan another time. Yuan Tian was not concerned with that little bit of damage. Lets leave and be on our way... Mu Chenyan got into the car, and her heart could not settle down for a long time! In her hand was a note that Feng Rao had just stuffed into her hand... ... Zhong Heng International Yuan Xuan leaned his elbow on the table and was immersed in deep thoughts. Kang Yu and Yan Jun stood by the side. For these top-rated assistants, being unable to read their boss mind was a distressing matter. Young Master, about the information that you had me dig into, is there anything wrong with it? Yan Jun asked with extreme caution. You mean to say that Miss Zhaos surgery fee was sponsored by a charitable organization? Has that organization showed the relevant bill? Yuan Xuan asked in a low voice. They did. Ive examined it, and its authentic. The way Yan Jun did his task was attentive and satisfactory. Yuan Xuan sank into deep thoughts. He had been feeling rather depressed recently, as that woman at home had ignored him for almost a month! Being able to only embrace her when sleeping and do nothing else was a torment to him! He could restrain himself from others except for her alone. Every time he suppressed his sexual desire until the extreme, Yuan Xuan would want to find an excuse to erupt and hold her underneath him to have her for a few times! However, he was scared of frightening her. After all, his behavior during thest time had traumatized her. Yan Jun watched his boss being iparably despondent with a surge of undercurrent in his eyes. He was full of deadly aura in the daytime, scaring those troublemaking old men, yet he was in this kind of state in the evening. He still would not go home though the sky was already dark, holding up him and Kang Yu and asking questions non-stop. Presumably, it must be that person at home who had not given him what he wanted. Amitabha, praise, praise! Little Mistress, please dont offend this big Buddha of ours anymore. CEO Yuan, when you brought Miss Zhao for a holiday at Liu Li Vi, did you notice anything that was off throughout the entire time you were with her? Kang Yu did not join in the talk on Yuan Xuans private life under normal circumstances. He usually assumed the position of the corporations internal assistant, and when Yuan Xuan was not around, Kang Yu also held the power to life and death. Her conducts still alright. However, the more she was that way, the more there was a need to investigate. Yuan Xuan stared out of the window into the distance and said inly. Weve been making arrangements for the past few years. Im thinking of hauling in the. Now that shes staying at the Yuan Family Mansion, I dont want there to be anyplications. Kang Yu and Yan Jun looked at each other, and they secretly broke out in sweat. Young Master, whats the next thing you want me to look into? Chapter 160 - She Was His Aged Wine

Chapter 160: She Was His Aged Wine

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun felt that when he retired, he could start up a private detective agency. Go and find out the source of her heart donor. After that child died, his parents should still be keeping in touch with Zhao Ruoxin. Usually, the family who is willing to donate organs will hope that a part of their loved ones would continue to live through another person. Yuan Xuan was exceptionally calm as he instructed Yan Jun. He lit up a cigarette and took two puffs before he suddenly recalled that the woman did not like the smell of tobo. He put out the cigarette in the ashtray. Sitting down and leaning back against his chair, Yuan Xuan rubbed his forehead. He did not have a desire to smoke in general, but he had been feeling too lonesome recently. ... When Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden and discovered that Yuan Xuan was not home yet, she heaved a sigh of relief. Lately, her emotions were like a roller coaster ride, with sudden highs and lows. She was happy and excited when she was with Yuan Tian, but she would gradually be low-spirited upon Yuan Xuans return. Being in the same space with him, Mu Chenyan was somehow unable to rx. Yuan Xuan was still good to her, or one could say that he treated her even better than before. However, she still could not unravel the knot in her heart. The kind of feeling of wanting to find an exit to escape this cage was bing more and more intense following his forbearance, pampering, and doting on her. She could notprehend the situation! What was happening to her? Yuan Xuan and she were like two people loving each other on a different channel when she was stubbornly loving him, he did not seem to know of her goodness; just when she was getting further from him, only then did hee to his senses and wanted to grab hold of her. He was her poppy drug, of which she dared not try to have a taste, yet she could not abstain from it at the same time... She was his aged wine, mellow at the first taste and sweet in the aftertaste... ... Wheres Mistress? Yuan Xuan took off his jacket and nced upstairs. Ah Fu took the jacket and carefully said, Shed just eaten and had gone upstairs to rest. Mistress looked very pretty today... Yuan Xuans face was full of questions. He had passed Mu Chenyan to Yuan Tian, and he really could not imagine what kind of trick this girl would pull off this time. As Yuan Xuan pushed open the door to the bedroom, he spotted Mu Chenyan seated in the recliner at the balcony reading a book. Yuan Xuans eyes lit up. No wonder Ah Fu remarked that Mistress was looking very pretty today! She had had a new hair cut. Her fluffy bangs covered her forehead, while her hair was dyed a light chestnut color, emanating an alluring charm. The shoulder-length hair brought out the fineness of her palm-sized face. Her naturally fair and delicate as jade-like skin with her red lips that were even more enchanting at this moment were as if she was giving out an invitation to him. Mu Chenyan realized he was home, and with a hazy gaze, she blinked her big eyes at him and reached out her hand, Youre back? Yea. Yuan Xuan walked over and bent down to carry her. Mu Chenyan snuggled in his embrace, her brows knitted lightly together. The corner of her eyes spotted the stubbles on the mans chin. That fine, chiseled facial features of his appeared exceedingly sexy no matter which angle one viewed them from. He was Heavens darling. If humans were indeed made by God, he would be the one who was crafted with extreme care and precision! Mu Chenyan was fascinated. When Yuan Xuan ced her on the bed, he unwittingly caught a glimpse of her infatuated gaze. The mans Adams apple moved. Mu Chenyan bashfully closed her eyes, her lips parting slightly. Seeing such a cautious invitation, Yuan Xuan could not miss out for sure! His heart even jumped for joy a little. He nted a kiss with extreme care while trying hard to control himself. He propped himself up on his elbows on the bed, afraid that he would press too hard on her and cause her pain. Both his hands were caressing her fragrant hair as he indulged and lost himself in her scent... Mu Chenyan moaned a little. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and she let out a short breath, her eyes misty as she said in a low voice, Yuan Xuan, I... want... Yuan Xuan froze! They had been in a cold war for more than a month. No matter how much he wanted her previously, he could only lightly peck her. The trauma from that night had caused her to distance herself away from his gentleness. Even when he kissed her every time, she would be jittery, as if she was approaching an abyss. Today she actually mentioned on her own that she wanted? Chapter 161 - That Was An Accident

Chapter 161: That Was An ident

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan could not stop his heart from quivering. His big warm hands found their way inside her loose pajamas, removing the articles of clothing that were in the way a few momentster. The bodies of these two people who had fully trusted each other once again were now faintly trembling. Yuan Xuans honey-colored skin glittered under the gentle light... Mu Chenyans vision was blurry when her slender fingertips gently slid down along his chest, forming a tingling sensation and leaving ambiguous marks on his smooth skin. Yuan Xuans wild heart could not be suppressed any longer before he covered her lips once again... She released a dull moan as the tips of their tongues intertwined and became more intense each time... Although Chenyan felt that he was about to reach the depths of her throat soon, Yuan Xuan still felt that he was unable to express his passion. Mu Chenyan then felt as though she could not catch her breath as the twisting of the tips of their tongues became more fervent. While they were entangled, he even softly murmured, Little Chenyan, you always find a way to make me crazy! She had certainly intoxicated him since the first time. He could not help himself once he had tasted it. Little Chenyan, I want to devour you... Youll be able to see my heart that way... Yuan Xuan was slightly panting before he suddenly said the most intimate words to her. This was too effective towards Mu Chenyan... Mu Chenyan was extremely embarrassed. Although both of them had slept together many times, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to ask for it. She wrapped both of her arms around his neck and lightly descended into his passionate, hot, and frantic kisses. Soft, persistent moans unconsciously and gently flowed out of her throat. She could hear his impatient heart forcefully beating when she stered herself against his chest. Amidst the confusion, Mu Chenyan did not even think before she pressed her warm lips there. She had teased Yuan Xuan until his entire body was hot... However, Yuan Xuan had already learned how to control himself when he recalled thest time he hurt her. He leisurely advanced and made sure that the forey was sufficient... He was too familiar with her sensitive areas. Hisrge hands wandered across every inch of her skin, causing her to repeatedly shudder until he felt an enthusiastic invitation from her moist cavity... He sunk himself inside... * Five minutester, Yuan Xuan disappointedly sat on the bed. A dumbfounded expression filled the arrogant mans face while he looked at his own member in disbelief. He nkly stared. Mu Chenyan had not expected that this man who was usually filled with stamina had actually be so flustered today. She got up and pulled her pajamas over before she wrapped herself in them. Traces of intimacy still remained on the bed where they had previously done shameful things. In Yuan Xuans eyes, those were simply the worst insults. He leaped off the bed as if he was unable to face Mu Chenyan and got dressed in his pajamas. He took a box of cigarettes out of the inteyer of the closet and went to the balcony. Amidst the dull shine of shooting stars and the faint white smoke that curled around, the mans profound gaze grew colder. The unavoidable awkwardness made him only think of quietly isting himself now... Mu Chenyan did not disturb him but silently changed the bedsheets instead. Men would definitely be embarrassed during moments like these, more so a man like Yuan Xuan with an enormous ego. Yuan Xuan finally regained his confidence after finishing three cigarettes. He turned around and looked at the woman on the bed who was quietly buried underneath the nkets. Her cheeks were still faintly blushing from the passion just now. Hisrge hands stroked the stray hairs in front of her forehead before the mans deep voice said, Im sorry, that was an ident. Lets try again? Mu Chenyan frantically mbered up and used the nket to cover her face, only exposing her eyes before she hurriedly shook her head and whispered, Another day. You should go and shower first... Yuan Xuan was inwardly extremely unsatisfied with his own performance. His sputtering failure this time caused him to be at a slight loss. His face looked terrible when he restrained himself and nodded before he gently said, You be good, sleep first while I shower. ... The sound of water echoed from the bathroom. Mu Chenyan gently sighed in relief. In spite of everything, she unkindlyughed when she recalled his defeated scene earlier. Chapter 162 - Mu Chenwu Will Be Waiting for You at the Cemetery at 8AM Tomorrow

Chapter 162: Mu Chenwu Will Be Waiting for You at the Cemetery at 8AM Tomorrow

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan was still staring and waiting for him when he came out wrapped in a bath towel. She nced at his strong and lean, fat-less physique, which was bursting with sexual appeal. Mu Chenyan hurriedly turned her embarrassed little face towards one side. Yuan Xuan reached out and hugged her by her slim waist before he allowed her head to rest on his arm. He lowered his voice and regretfully said, The thing that happened earlier, that was an ident! Mu Chenyan quietlyughed and buried her head against his waist before her tone turned mncholic as she gently said, Your usual violent and ruthless manner was too much so this is good as well. Who asked you to be so arrogant? Yuan Xuan could tell that she wasining of his normal crude style but his heart warmed up because she spoke in a coquettish tone. When he thought of how their rtionship had made him felt as if he was treading on thin ice had now progressed to this stage, the gloominess in his heart did not seem so bad anymore. Although todays event was an imperfect first time, it served as a beginning nheless. He did not have to worry about the absence of a second or third time in the future. He inwardly rxed because he did not want to feel regretful over wasting such a good chance anymore. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead before he whispered, Dummy! This is how a man loves a woman. How would you know if I wasnt fierce? Mu Chenyans body trembled while she continued burying her cheek against his waist so that Yuan Xuan could not see the stunned look on her face. The word love had never been spoken between them before. She would probably be much happier if this happened two years ago before everything else had urred. When Yuan Xuan saw that she was coquettishly refusing to lift her head, various feelings stirred and swelled at the bottom of his heart. He wrapped a stray strand of her hair around his fingertip before he praised her, saying, Very pretty! When Mu Chenyan knew that he wasplimenting her new hairstyle, the woman quietlyughed when she could not help but remember Yan Jiangshengments towards her. Whats so funny? Huh? Nothing! I just met an old friend when I was getting my hair styled today and I thought of something funny. Mu Chenyan did not dare to speak about Yuan Tian and Yan Jiangsheng who, behind his back, seemingly described him like a powerful deity who was trying to break up a couple. Since Yuan Xuan knew that she did not have many old friends in Luo Hai, he guessed that this was probably rted to Yuan Tian. Hence, he did not ask many questions when he noticed that she did not borate. He hugged her around her shoulders and quietly sighed, Is everything alright now? Will my wife forgive me for my rough behavior that day? Mu Chenyans heart was moved when she heard the cautiousness in his tone. Yuan Xuan had always been proud. She had even heard Wu Ze mention that he had never seen him admit defeat even when he was in a dangerous situation in Ennd. However, was he not yielding to her today? Mu Chenyans voice was slightly choked when she quietly said, I want to go and see my father at the cemetery tomorrow... If there were thorns that could not be removed from Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuans hearts, then Mu Fengs death could definitely be considered as the most serious one. Yuan Xuan tightened his arm around Mu Chenyans shoulders while a hint of sternness and anger shed across his face. It seemed as though his heart had encountered a critical hit that caused the dark fog that had recently vanished to gather once again. He understood in his heart that she had apparently taken the initiative to break the ice because of ater goal. Every instance of this womans spontaneous gentleness definitely harbored specific aims. Okay, do you need me to send someone to apany you? He suppressed his emotions before he slowly opened his mouth to speak. Regardless of how she had changed, he still doted on his own woman. Mu Chenyan hurriedly shook her head and declined, saying, Itll be fine for me to go alone. Ill drive there because I want to speak to my father. Ill probably be anxious if you send someone to follow me. Yuan Xuans heart faintly quivered. Hebed Mu Chenyans hair before he whispered, Tell your father that youre well. Mu Chenyan nodded whileplicated feelings secretly surged through her thoughts. ... The note that Feng Rao had given her wrote: Mu Chenwu will be waiting for you at the cemetery at 8 in the morning tomorrow. Chapter 163 - My Wifes Waist Is Really Slim

Chapter 163: My Wifes Waist Is Really Slim

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The next day, Mu Chenyan got up really early and made breakfast because she was preparing to go to the cemetery. Once Yuan Xuan had properly tidied up, the man suddenly passed his tie to her. Thank you for your hard work, Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuanspletely earnest manner was extremely annoying. His gaze was filled with anticipation. Mu Chenyan took the dark red tie from him and held her breath before she quietly approached him. She was not considered to be of a small stature but she appeared extremely petite in front of Yuan Xuans 1.88m physique. Her fingertips intertwined as she tied his necktie and silently endured his unreasonable harassment. A short whileter, Yuan Xuan ced his hand on her waist and gently stroked it before he sighed and said, Mmhmm, my wifes waist is really slim... Momentster, the tip of his nose shifted towards the top of her head where he inhaled the scent there. He appeared intoxicated before his tone became faintly indiscernible as he softly said, My wife smells like fragrant flowers... A handsome man who could earnestly act like a flirty gangster was very powerful. Mu Chenyans little face blushed as she avoided his dazzling gaze and his hands that were taking advantage of her. Yuan Xuan loved smelling the intoxicating scent of her body. This scent was neither the heavy aroma of perfume nor the flowery fragrance of shower gel. That scent was distinct to only her and it was exclusive in the world. Perhaps this was the scent of a woman that the poets spoke about... Mu Chenyan finally broke through the heavy obstacles and finished tying the necktie. She lowered her head and remained speechless. Although she was embarrassed and could not stand his harassment anymore, she patiently endured it nheless. This caused Yuan Xuans gloomy emotions to slowly improve. He inwardly told himself that although they were still estranged, their fondness for each other would grow as time passed. He had the time to wait. He had done so many things to make this woman stay. Although the price that he paid was somewhat too steep, it was enough because she chose to stay by his side in the end. The current Yuan Xuan would never have thought that many yearster, he would constantly stare nkly as he caressed the clothes that she had left behind as he was already used to that scent. He would search for the scent of her body between the threads of the cloth... It was harder for him to imagine that he would walk on the same path as her, sat where she sat, ate the food she ate, listened to the songs she listened, and rested his head on her pillow many yearster. However, he could not cure himself from the insomnia that he suffered throughout the whole night... * Cemetery Thest time she came here, Mu Chenyan had just been released from prison. Her mood was extremely somber every time she came here. Things remain, yet he is here no more. Her father who used to charge through the battlefield nowy below the icy ground for two years now. Despite being his daughter, she had not seen him during his final moments. Mu Chenyan ced the tributes that she had brought along before the stone tablet. She looked around and noticed that her surroundings werepletely silent. It was already winter and it was still early now as the cold winds continuously blew. Mu Chenyans heart was slightly fearful and emotional. In the process of trusting Feng Rao, she had certainly undergone an intense mental struggle as well. Feng Rao was not a kind person and numerous unpleasant events had previously urred between them too. If Feng Rao used this opportunity to retaliate against her, she would definitely die without a doubt. However, she could not bear the temptation of meeting her brother. However, she was worried that the phone that Yuan Xuan had given her contained questionable elements like monitoring or tracking abilities. The hospital was fatally suffocating. Since Yan Mei was already under Yuan Xuans strict surveince, she was worried that she was not better off either. Thus, Mu Chenwu had thought of using an outdated method such as getting Feng Rao to deliver a paper note to call her out. Since this was a cemetery that was surrounded by a wide open space, he could escape anytime if he was really in danger. In her heart, Mu Chenyan repeatedly imagined herself in the situation which she would meet her brother. She also continuously convinced herself to believe Feng Rao this one time. Although she was taking a huge risk, she took certain things into consideration and brought Yuan Tian along. Yuan Tian was waiting outside the cemetery. That girl had pure intentions and could not think too far ahead, but she served as a deterrence towards Feng Rao. Even if Feng Rao was extremely brave, she would never dare to pick a fight with the Yuan Family. Chapter 164 - Revenge

Chapter 164: Revenge

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yaner... A quiet voice suddenly called out. Mu Chenyan jumped and stood up in front of the gravestone. She nced in all four directions while her legs uncontrobly trembled. She managed to discern her brothers voice and the way he habitually called her Yaner. Brother, where are you? Mu Chenyan had yet to discover her brothers whereabouts although she had scanned her surroundings. She frantically shouted, Brother,e out. Im in front of our fathers gravestone. Her hoarse voice quivered. Mu Chenyan choked and descended into panic and helplessness as she was unable to see Mu Chenwu. Suddenly, a ck silhouette shed and emerged behind arge gravestone that was not far away. The imposing and dark figure quietly yelled at Mu Chenyan and said, Im here, Yaner! Mu Chenyan recognized that the man was really Mu Chenwu who had disappeared for more than a year. Mu Chenyan was so emotional that she rushed over and jumped into her brothers arms. She hugged Mu Chenwus waist and loudly wailed, Brother... Its been so long... Where did you go? Mu Chenwu was dressed in a ck woolen windbreaker and wore a peaked cap. His chin that was covered in fine stubble was faintly trembling while his profound features were still as handsome as before except that they seemed somewhat older. He tightly embraced his sister in his arms and choked while he softly murmured, Yaner! The fact that Im still alive to see you... is truly great... There was nothing else but tears when the siblings met. Their family was already broken up. Mu Chenyan could barely calm her emotions after crying for a while. However, she embraced her brother without loosening her grip as if she was afraid that he wouldpletely disappear again when she let go. Mu Chenwu hugged Mu Chenyan as well and pressed his chin against his sisters hair. He gently stroked her hair numerous times while his extremely hoarse voice said, Yaner, how have you been? Im sorry. I never went to see you for such a long time but left you there alone instead... Mu Chenyan cried harder upon hearing this. She nudged herself against her brothers chest as if she could not believe that this was real. People outside were already spreading rumors that Mu Chenwu was dead but Mu Chenyan had always needed to see either a living body or a corpse to believe whether someone was alive or dead. When she could finally see her brother today, she truly had nothing else but tears. Brother, dont say that! Yaner has never med you because its good enough that youre alive! Now that youve returned... Lets go to the hospital and get our mother... Lets go... As she spoke, she tugged at Mu Chenwus sleeve because she was really anxious to leave. Since her brother was back, Mu Chenyan realized that she would have a blood rtive from now on. Thus, she naturally did not have to stay with the Yuan Family any longer. Mu Chenwu was shocked. He paused in his tracks and dragged Mu Chenyan over before he quietly consoled his sisters emotions. Dont be hasty, Yaner! Its not safe for us to talk here. Are you sure that nobody from the Yuan Family followed you here just now? Mu Chenyans entire body trembled when she heard that. She fearfully nced all around before she shook her head and said, I brought Yuan Tian along and shes waiting for me at the entrance. I dont think anyone else followed us. As Mu Chenwu was not reassured, he vigntly surveyed and circled the area again before he dragged Chenyan and hid behind therge gravestone from just now. This row of gravestones was probably built by several rich and influential families because they were taller than a few other rows. Moreover, it was next to the road where there were severalrge trees as shade, making it much more concealed. Thus, Mu Chenwu had hidden there earlier to observe Mu Chenyan for a long time before he came out after he was certain that there was nothing suspicious. Mu Chenyan anxiously looked at her brother. When she saw his cautious manner, she inwardly understood that he had probably remained hidden earlier because people had definitely mistreated him before this. Yaner, I cant take you away yet and we cant get our mother either. Youve seen that the hospital is being secretly monitored so its impossible for us to get our mother from under Yuan Xuans grasp! Mu Chenwu was stating the truth. Previously, when he secretly sneaked into the hospital at night, he even hurt a young nurse who was on duty. Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Xuans intentions. As long as he had Yan Mei, she would not run away. However, no matter how overbearing he was, Yuan Xuan would not forcefully imprison her anymore now that she had her brother, right? Brother, why are you hiding? Why should we be afraid of Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyan was puzzled. Even if Yuan Xuan had retaliated against the Mu Family two years ago because of a misunderstanding with her, she had nothing to do with Shu Qingers death now. Why would they still need to be scared? Yaner, listen to me. You must stay with the Yuan Family because we need to seek revenge for our parents! Revenge? Mu Chenyan was slightly confused. Chapter 165 - You Want to Kill Yuan Xuan?

Chapter 165: You Want to Kill Yuan Xuan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Mu Chenyan loathed Yuan Xuan from the bottom of her heart because of the matters that involved the Mu Family, she realized that these were considered as normal as the ups and downs of the business world when she calmed down and carefully thought about it. Moreover, since Mu Feng had died in a car ident, what was the source of revenge? When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyan was puzzled, he used a furious tone and said, Yaner, our father died because of the Yuan Family! You were still young at that time so you dont understand many things! Mu Chenwu took a deep breath and attempted to organize his jumbled train of thoughts to allow Mu Chenyan to understand him easier. The Yuan Familys hundred-year-old estate and their exploits throughout the ages should have been ruined at the hands of Yuan Tangbai! If it wasnt for our father, the members of the Yuan Family would have descended into hell long ago. Id never imagined that they would bite the hand that fed them and destroyed the Mu Family! Mu Chenyan became confused when she heard this. She had instinctively sensed that there was some history between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family but Mu Chenyan became momentarily dazed when Yuan Tangbai was mentioned. She pulled Mu Chenwuspel and whispered, Brother, dont get riled up. Speak slowly and exin how this involves Yuan Tangbai... Mu Chenwus heart could not bear it anymore when he saw that Yaners face was filled with suspicion and fear. When she was persecuted and imprisoned that year, Yuan Xuan had already secretly started to take action against the Mu Family at the same time. He had no time to attend to her simply because he was preupied with Mu Feng. Now that she was standing before him unscathed today, he wanted to tell her to remain by the side of their enemy who killed their father so that they could avenge him. However, this was a cruel reality. Yaner, tell your brother now, do you still love Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenwu suddenly opened his mouth and said. He held Mu Chenyans shoulder before a hint of helplessness shed across his gloomy handsome eyes as he said, If you still love him, you dont have to take part in the revenge. You can just return as Mrs Yuan. However, if he kills me one day, please remember that we loved each other as siblings and help your brother bury his body, alright? When Mu Chenwu spoke with immeasurable sadness, Mu Chenyans skinny shoulders could not stop trembling. The feelings that she had calmed down with much difficulty now quivered again before she emotionally hugged Mu Chenwu and said, Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would you die? Mu Chenwu gritted his teeth and whispered, Yaner, if you still love Yuan Xuan, I can only do this to sacrifice myself for you. I wont drag you into this so you wont have to know about the things that happened in the past. Mu Chenyansplexion instantly turned much paler. Her eyes could not focus. Yuan Xuans unique handsome looks that depicted him in his prime appeared in one half of her mind. Meanwhile, her dead father and wounded mother who were part of the reality of her ruined family appeared in the other half of her mind... She truly had no way to resolve this issue. Brother, dont ask me that question. Whether I love him or not, what does that have to do with these things youre saying? Tell me, what actually happened between our father and the Yuan Family? On one hand, Mu Chenyan was submerged in the joy and excitement of seeing her brother but she was also starting to be entangled with the fact that she could not distance herself from Yuan Xuan because they had an inseparable rtionship. Moreover, she had be even more gloomy because her brother had recently said some cryptic things that were difficult to understand. Mu Chenwu could see Mu Chenyans conflict and pain. He hugged Chenyans shoulders and bitterly said, Yaner, if you still love him, just pretend that I didnt say anything. I came to see you just to bid farewell... The corners of Mu Chenwus eyes were red while his stern face actually hinted that he was determined to meet his end. His words had greatly affected Mu Chenyan. She was so frightened that she burst into shrieks before she exerted all her strength and hugged Mu Chenwus waist as if she was afraid that he would actually die. Her tears started flowing as if they were a string that had snapped but Mu Chenyan loudly wailed, No! Brother, dont scare me like this! I dont want you to die. You and I are the only two children left in the Mu Family so what will happen to me if you die? What will happen to our mother? Brother, dont force me to do this! I cant just act like a spectator if you really take revenge. Chapter 166 - Her Heart Suffered a Heavy Blow

Chapter 166: Her Heart Suffered a Heavy Blow

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans response made Mu Chenwu realized that he had scared her. He slowly controlled his emotions and calmed himself down. Mu Chenwu was seven years older than Yaner. Although he was not a good big brother while they were growing up, Yaner had always ced him in an important ce in her heart. Today, when Mu Chenyan heard that her brother was willing to die to get his revenge, she became confused. When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyans little face was about to cry, he held her in his arms and murmured, Im not going to die, but you must help your brother to get revenge for our father and save our mother because only then will our whole family be reunited again! Can you do that? Revenge? Mu Chenyan whispered. Perplexed, she helplessly said, You want to kill Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyans heart felt as though it was violently stabbed when she spoke. She was very scared when she thought of her brother dying but she simrly felt immense panic when she thought of Yuan Xuan dying. Kill him? Hmph! That would be too kind to the Yuan Family. I want the Yuan Family to suffer a fall from grace and be utterly ruined so that theypletely disappear from Luo Hai! Mu Chenwu gnashed his teeth as he spoke while a ruthless expression appeared on his face. Murderous rage rose from his bloodshot eyes as piercingly-cold chills emitted from his body. Even Mu Chenyan felt that her brother was frighteningly abnormal behaving like this. She was unaware of the truth but she inwardly understood the facts a little more now. When she previously allowed her imagination to run wild, she assumed that the rtionship between her father and the Yuan Family was definitely not as simple as that of two fellowrades. Brother, what exactly do you want to do? Mu Chenyan sobbed and asked. Yaner, did you know that Yuan Tangbai did not sacrifice himself in Xi Fan?! Then... How did Yuan Tangbai die? Mu Chenyan nkly stared at her brother. She became more confused while various assumptions shed in her mind. Mu Chenwu discovered many more things from Mu Feng inparison to Mu Chenyan who was still young. As he had followed Mu Feng everywhere since he was young, it was normal for Mu Feng to tell him many things. Moreover, Mu Feng previously did not dare to tell Mu Chenyan too many things because she was infatuated with Yuan Xuan. Yuan Tangbai used his special status to coborate with the rebels in Xi Fan. They banded together and he even sold weapons to Ze Da in Xi Fan! Mu Chenwu took a deep breath and lowered his voice when he spoke. He was so furious that he tightly clenched his fists. Mu Chenyan was stunned. She had never imagined that the national hero and the leader of the rebellion would be the same person... How... How could it be? What does this have to do with our father? He made an agreement with Ze Da but after this deal went on for over a year, Ze Da betrayed them because they did not evenly distribute the spoils. They ambushed Yuan Tangbai and his subordinates near a vige in Xi Fan. Yuan Tangbai was fatally shot because he failed to escape from the encirclement! Mu Chenyan inhaled a breath of cold air upon hearing this. She held her breath and listened as Mu Chenwu continued to speak. At that time, our father was his Adjutant who remained in the rear to settle some matters. Thus, he did not follow them to the vige but was ambushed in the end. As a Deputy General, he definitely had his own responsibilities as well. However, our father concealed the truth of this matter to safeguard the morale of the soldiers. Mu Chenwu sighed when he said this. If the real circumstances of this matter were revealed, Yuan Tangbai and the entire Yuan Familys reputation would reach rock-bottom. Moreover, it would also affect the safety of their whole family. When our father decided to help Yuan Tangbai conceal this, he alsomitted the same crime as him. Our father personally amended the information in Yuan Tangbais records and he even promoted him ording to the reports that he had was killed in action. Mu Chenyans entire body was seized by chills when she heard this. This matter had simply overturned everything she knew about the Yuan Family. Chapter 167 - This Was Her Final Ray of Hope For Yuan Xuan

Chapter 167: This Was Her Final Ray of Hope For Yuan Xuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Growing up, Mu Chenyan heard from her father that Yuan Tangbai was a national hero. He was also Mu Fengsrade who was like a brother to him because he was willing to risk his life for him. His intimate rtionship with the Yuan Family also allowed Mu Chenyan to freely walk into the Yuan Familyspound and pursue Yuan Xuan for over a decade... However, she was now forced to believe that the truth waspletely different and the situation was actually the opposite! The hero had previouslymunicated with the leader of the rebels in secret. Meanwhile, had the descendant of her fathers closerade bit the hand that fed him to conceal his fathers crimes? It was hard for Mu Chenyan to ept it for a moment. If this matter was ever exposed, the Yuan Family would not only be criminals in Luo Hai but in Country Z as well. Furthermore, the responsibility for these crimes would also involve the Mu Family. It was extremely difficult to handle these matters in the current Country Z. Our father and a few of his trusted subordinates were the only ones who knew the scope of his control in this matter. However, it was still not stable over at Ze Das area. They were stirring up trouble everywhere and creating chaos. Since he had no other choice, our father asked the Capital City for help and remained in Xi Fan to maintain the peace before you were born that year. Mu Chenyan knew that she was living in Xi Fan before she was 10 years old. Xi Fans vast sky and expansive territory had truly nurtured Mu Chenyans positive attitude that allowed her to continuously treat herself kindly when she encountered numerous unfair circumstances in the future. She could repeatedly forgive this cruel world... Brother, are you saying that everything our father did was to save the Yuan Family? Mu Chenyans voice trembled while her eyes were misty and blurred. A kind person like her could not understand this at all. Our fathermitted a capital offense for their sake but why did Yuan Xuan mistreat the Mu Family after that? This is the most despicable part of the Yuan Family! Mu Chenwu hit his fist against the gravestone while he spoke. His fist was tightly clenched but Mu Chenyan trembled with fear when she saw the worrying trails of blood. She tautly gripped her brothers hand and wiped it before she shed tears from being distressed. Brother, dont be like this. Yaner is scared... Mu Chenyan lost her previous indifference when she stood before her brother. She fully resembled a helpless little girl whose eyes were brimming with tears. She infinitely trusted and relied upon her brother. Yaner, there are too many things you dont know! From the start, our father had never imagined that he would receive such unfair treatment when he returned to Luo Hai. After our family returned from Xi Fan, he naively thought that the Yuan Family would remember his past favors so that they could peacefully coexist. Mu Chenwu bitterlyughed when he spoke. His father and him were so stupid that it was ridiculous. Mu Chenyan was also dumbfounded. For a very long time, she thought that Yuan Xuans treatment of the Mu Family stemmed from her being framed as Shu Qingers killer... The background of this matter apparently involved reasons that were moreplicated than the murder case... Mu Chenwu had called Mu Chenyan out to clearly exin the entire story to her. He continued, Yuan Tangzhong knew that our father possessed some evidence of the previous incidents and he was afraid that our father would back out and report him while involving the Yuan Family and affecting his career. Thus, Yuan Tangzhong had always been determined to draw our father over to his side ever since we returned to Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan only understood now why her father became close to Yuan Tangzhong after returning to Luo Hai despite always being by Yuan Tangbais side in the past. However, since Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Xuan did not get along, there were differences between their treatment of our father from the very beginning. Yuan Tangzhong used policies that would pacify him and he attempted to use this method to control our father. Of course, he stood a chance of profiting from this. He could only prosper and advance within his circles by using our fathers financial support. He used our father as his right-hand man. Conversely, Yuan Xuan was always a ruthless character who desired to get rid of our father all along and perpetually prevent future trouble. Mu Chenwu gnashed his teeth while speaking. He wished that he could skin Yuan Xuan alive. Chapter 168 - Aside From the Family Feud, There Was Also Hatred on Behalf of Her Home

Chapter 168:

Aside From the Family Feud, There Was Also Hatred on Behalf of Her Home

r: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was probably no one who knew Yuan Xuans personality better than Mu Chenyan. There was a hint of stubbornness within his cold arrogance and he was extremely intelligent. When he firmly believed in something, he would not be easily swayed by the influences of the outside world. The people outside were all in awe of Luo Hais prince of the Yuan Family to a certain degree. Mu Chenyan had heard about this although she did not concern herself with Yuan Xuans work matters. Previously, there were several junior underlings from the aristocratic families that he managed who were jeopardizing public interests. They were either thrown into prison or exiled from Luo Hai. This temporarily became the talk of the town. The Old Masters from the aristocratic families who begged for leniency also suffered losses because of Yuan Xuan. Moreover, two of them were so furious that they ended up in the hospital. This shook Luo Hai but the elders of the various major ns were unable to voice their objections towards Yuan Xuan. When he went on holiday to Liu Li Vi, they took this opportunity to coborate and pay him a visit to get justice. They attempted to use Zhong Heng Internationals other stockholders to oppress Yuan Xuan into submission. On the second day, the stocks of the organizations that belonged to several aristocratic families who had led this ended up crashing all the way. Thus, no one dared to behave in a hasty manner anymore. In addition to the trivial things that happened in their daily lives, the trauma that Mu Chenyan previously experienced in prison caused her heart to never doubt Yuan Xuans ruthlessness. Moreover, the thing that Mu Feng was previously writing about was rted to Yuan Tangbais earth-shattering secret. Yuan Xuan had always treated his father as his role model and he respected every aspect of him. Situations like this allowed him to understand Yuan Tangbais ws. One could only imagine how much Yuan Xuan inwardly wanted to eliminate Mu Feng so that he could protect his own father. Brother, are you saying that although this was clearly Yuan Tangbais problem, Yuan Xuan still wanted to set a deathtrap for the Mu Family to conceal it from the beginning? Mu Chenyan looked at Mu Chenwu in a stupefied manner while her breathing became uneven. The existence of this reality was far moreplicated than her imagination. Aside from her resentment for him because of their family feud, she had never imagined that she should hate Yuan Xuan on behalf of her home as well. Silly girl, you dont even trust your own brother? Havent you seen what Yuan Xuan has done in the process of destroying the Mu Family? Mu Chenwu found it somewhat difficult to remain calm now. He trembled as he took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one after removing it before the smoke curled around. His emotions slowly subsided after he had smoked for a while before he continued speaking. Yuan Xuan suppressed the Mu n and framed our father as a firearms seller to me part of Yuan Tangbais crimes on him instead! He stopped the Mu Family from bailing you out when you were locked in prison for two years and he also put our mother under house arrest. Are you really unable to see how ruthless he is? Do you think that he married you to be kind to you? He was using you to make our father let his guard down! Our poor father really believed him. Mu Chenwus tone was somewhat solemn. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan weakly leaned against the gravestone while her gaze became utterly empty. She did not dare to continue imagining things ording to what her brother had said. If Yuan Xuan had hated the Mu Family from the very beginning, then did he love or hate her? Then why did he ask the Mu Family for her hand in marriage when he returned from Ennd? Was it really as her brother had said that marrying her was only a means for him to strike back against the Mu Family? If he had only been using her since the very beginning, did that mean that she had yed a part in her fathers death and the copse of the Mu Family? When he saw that Mu Chenyan was silent, Mu Chenwu continued, Your value as a pawn disappeared after he had gotten back at the Mu Family. He tossed you in prison after that and he only brought you back now because he knew that Ide looking for you. Im afraid that he only wanted to use you and capture our whole family in one go. The cold winds in the cemetery rose in all directions and blew up fallen leaves that scratched the ground and made tearing noises. Mu Chenyans entire body momentarily shivered. She helplessly lifted her head and nced at her fathers gravestone before he looked at Mu Chenwu and quietly murmured, Brother, was Yuan Xuan... Was he really that ruthless? I dont believe that he is as you say he is... All sorts of feelings welled up inside Mu Chenyans heart while she felt as though she was lying to others while consoling herself. She had loved this person for a decade but he had suddenly strayed from the light and transformed into a demon... Although the rtionship between her and Yuan Xuan did not resemble that of an average married couple ever since she returned, his attitude towards her had always been full of tenderness. Although she had experienced several trials, Mu Chenyan still felt that Yuan Xuan truly cared about her in his heart. Loving a person was like nurturing a habit. She was only puzzled today because she had gone too far when her feelings of love and hatred simultaneously urred. Amidst the mist and confusion, only the people who were aware of the truth would actually feel the pain. However, if she had really indirectly harmed her father, how would she live the rest of her life? A murderous air seeped through Mu Chenwus icy gaze. He sighed before he quietly said, Yaner, Im afraid that the Mu Family would have copsed much earlier if Yuan Tangzhong did not want to use us in the past. If Yuan Xuan had revealed his true intentions earlier, you would have clearly seen through him before that. You wouldnt have been infatuated with him for so many years then. Mu Chenwu had underestimated the attachments between his sister and Yuan Xuan. As this girl had persevered all along, it would certainly be difficult to make her believe Yuan Xuans true nature. She was extremely puzzled. Her emotions and logic were intensely struggling with each other as she said, Brother, when did Yuan Xuan... When did he actually start taking action against the Mu Family? Ever since you returned to the country! Mu Chenwu pondered before he said, Prior to this, Yuan Xuan was incapable of harming the Mu Family right before his uncles eyes because he had yet to reach his full potential. When he returned, this was naturally the first thing he would do. He asked the Mu Family for your hand in marriage and deluded his second uncle and our father as well. He collected some materials to counter the Mu Family and secretly suppressed the Mu Familys close and influential supporters so that our father would be thwarted everywhere in the business world! Yuan Tangzhong was not initially a kind person either. He was close to our father because he wanted to control him while simultaneously using him to do certain things that he could not do on his own. Those are things that you clearly dont know about. This made Yuan Xuan extremely unhappy. Later when the Mu Family was about to copse, even Yuan Tangzhong became afraid of Yuan Xuans means. He did not dare to openly confront Yuan Xuan. Thus, he agreed to eliminate our father when he stumbled upon this chance. Moreover, it was also a win-win situation for the Yuan Family because they could preserve the Yuan Familys reputation and secrets as well! Mu Chenwu sneered. His resentment towards Yuan Xuan could not be described with words anymore. His only wish was to eradicate the Mu Family from this earth! Brother, if this is true, why did Yuan Xuan save me from prison? Wouldnt it have been better for him to let me live and die on my own? Mu Chenyan was not trying to defend him. However, the current situation was moreplicated than she had imagined. Since this woman had already experienced too many things, she was no longer as naive as she was previously. Since she was not actually there to experience the event when it happened years ago, she had to repeatedly consider it although these words wereing out from her own brothers mouth. This was thest straw in her heart. It was also her final ray of hope for Yuan Xuan. Despite everything Ive said, are you still deluded by Yuan Xuan? You might as well think of the past when he was happy with Shu Qinger and even had a child with her. Why did he suddenly marry you? Mu Chenwu used his trump card. Mu Chenyan looked at Mu Chenwu in shock. She did not believe that the child was Yuan Xuans when other people said that, but now that her own brother had said it as well... Chapter 169 - Brother Threatens to Die Again

Chapter 169: Brother Threatens to Die Again

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenwus aggressive manner made it difficult for Mu Chenyan to stand her ground. Her mind became a chaotic mess and herplexion turned pale while she leaned against a gravestone. Sister, Yuan Xuan has never openly acknowledged that child before... Mu Chenwu knew from his sisters expression that this stupid girls heart was going to be filled with doubts regardless of what he said. She was struggling bitterly with him. He grit his teeth and yelled, I f*cking hate him so much! First, he caused my fathers death. Next, he selfishly imed you although his heart belongs to another woman! Moreover, you still refuse to believe the truth. If you dont believe me, you can just return to the Yuan Family as Mrs Yuan. Ive already prepared to fight Yuan Xuan to the death in several months time, so you just help me bury my corpse then! Mu Chenyan bitterly shook her head and wailed, Brother, dont say such things! Its not that I dont believe you, I just need some time to ept this. Yuan Xuan has been considerably nicer to me these few days, so its difficult for me to believe that he orchestrated everything... If Yuan Xuan did not love her and was merely using her to serve his own goals, how would he exin his concern and gentleness toward her during the days after she was released from prison? Would it not have been better to let her die in prison? Aside from luring her brother out of hiding, there didnt seem to be any other usible reasons for him to get her out. Silly girl, Shu Qingers death has already be reality. He got you out of prison and treated you nicely simply because hecked a bedmate! Mu Chenyan was shocked. She immediately began trembling as if she had just been sshed with cold water. Yuan Xuan had certainly mentioned the word bedmate before. Thats impossible... Mu Chenyan feebly countered. Little Yan, wake up! I told you earlier that Ill take revenge by myself if youre still in love with him. Youve also seen that Yuan Xuan is hunting me down from every direction so that he canpletely destroy me! Although Ive tried to hide everywhere, Ive never been able to shake off the people who are pursuing me. If it wasnt for Feng Rao who still cherished our old rtionship, I wouldnt even be able to see you today. Im afraid that even if my dead body turns up in the future, you wont believe that Mu Chenwu had been killed by the man you love... Mu Chenwu nced around when he spoke, his deste expression piercing Mu Chenyans sensitive heart. Little Yan, if I die, you should just forget that you were a child of the Mu Family so that you can happily live out the rest of your days with Yuan Xuan! No matter what I say, youre just a woman. Thus, Yuan Xuan will not consider your feelings, but he wouldnt hurt you either... Her brother had threatened to die again! Mu Chenyan suddenly calmed down. She wiped away her tears and stood up before she calmly looked at Mu Chenwu and softly replied, Brother, if you die, how can I survive on my own with our mother in tow? Mu Chenwu was speechless. He met Mu Chenyans gaze and whispered, Then you should just follow your brothers ns from now on, alright? Brother, what do you want me to do? Mu Chenyan realized that crying would not solve their problems, even if the things that her brother said were different from her own perspective. She might as well listen to her brothers n for now. When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyan was ready to listen, he quietly said, That year, our father brought some of the material back and hid them. We need to find a suitable time to reveal this matter! Mu Chenyan was clearly shocked. She met her brothers gaze and opened her mouth before replying, When is this time that youre talking about, brother? Since he already possessed this material, why didnt Father bring them out earlier when he was suppressed by the Yuan Family? Wecked manpower and were weak at that time while the Yuan Family who backed Yuan Xuan were unimaginably powerful. Moreover, since Yuan Xuan and the Capital Citys Shao Family were extremely close, even if we reveal the evidence, we may not live to see another day if the higher-uppers decide to get rid of us first! Mu Chenwu scoffed bitterly. Chapter 170 - I Want the Members of the Yuan Family to be Completely Ruined

Chapter 170: I Want the Members of the Yuan Family to be Completely Ruined

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenwus worries were not unwarranted. Brother, what do you mean by the best timing? Mu Chenyan suddenly sensed that Mu Chenwu hade prepared. Even though she could not change the past, she still felt that she needed to be able to control her future. Ive already called some external forces. They were all Yuan Tangbais enemies in the past. Once these forces be slightly stronger, you and I must cooperate to coordinate the internal and external offenses! Mu Chenwu quietly said, When that timees, I want the members of the Yuan Family to bepletely ruined! ... Mu Chenwu secretly left while Mu Chenyan stood before Mu Fengs gravestone and braved the cold wind for a while to clear her head and calm herself down. She still needed to return to the Yuan Family after this. Moreover, she was returning with a task now. ... When she saw Mu Chenyan walking out of the cemetery, Yuan Tian drove the car in front of her before she noticed that this girl had cried until her eyes were swollen. Yuan Tian knew better than to speak unnecessarily. After all, no matter how they looked at it, the Yuan Family was responsible for Mu Fengs death. She had a veryplicated rtionship with Mu Chenyan. In terms of their friendship, they were inseparable best friends while ethically, they were sisters-inw. Logically, however, there was a family feud between their two households... Although Big Tian was a bold person, she was aware of how much Mu Chenyans heart ached right now. Luo Hais warm and humid year-end weather caused the numerous fauna to once again return to their lush and green state. As the car drove along the dim and lengthy trail between the forest, the motley shadows of the trees covered Mu Chenyans face such that it was only asionally illuminated by the cracks in the forest canopy. Mu Chenyan leaned her head against the car window and remained silent throughout the ride. Yuan Tian likewise did not utter a word when she saw her in this state. This was the first time where the two women had been together but were not noisily chatting. Mu Chenyans head was filled with her brothers words. She felt gloomy as she thought about them. If she chose to help her brother, it meant that she would need to think of a way to lead Yuan Xuan down the path of his own destruction. Moreover, she would also need to force the entire Yuan Family down that deadly path as well... Conversely, choosing Yuan Xuan was equivalent to being indifferent toward her fathers death and the destruction of the Mu Family. Knowing her brother, Mu Chenwu would fight the Yuan Family to the death. If Mu Chenwu ended up dying as well, nothing would remain of her Mu Family anymore... Her mind was extremely muddled, but inwardly, she told herself to calm down. She would not be swayed by her emotions at this time. ... The car drove into the garage of the Yuan Familys mansion. Yuan Tian turned off the engine and tugged at Mu Chenyan who was still lost in her thoughts before getting her out of the car. She sympathetically consoled her, Chenyan, I know that your heart is filled with sorrow. I wasnt in Luo Hai at the time when these things happened so I dont have the right to state my opinion, but since things have already turned out like this, you shouldnt beat yourself up over it any longer! Mu Chenyan half-heartedly nodded. She had been juggling exhaustion alongside these thoughts the whole time. Her mind could not hold anything else now as she merely wanted to rest for a while. The Yuan Familys estate was huge, but several residences shared one garage. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian held hands while they walked out of the garage. They had not walked far before they heard the muffled noises of a man and a woman arguing under the shadows of the trees in the garden. Tell me, did you go to Hibiscus Garden andy your hands on Chenyan... Mind your own f*cking business! Do you think theres anything you can do about me fooling around with other women? Dirty sl*t, you were impure when you married me yet you still n on controlling me? As the man spoke, he unexpectedly raised his palm and pped the women, causing her to shriek! Yuan Zhe, you... Youre really worse than a beast... Mu Chenyan is your younger brothers wife but you still lusted after her despite that... Normally, I wouldnt care about the number of women you were fooling around with, but now youve actually brought Yuan Xuans attention upon yourself. Yuan Xuan had previously interrogated all of the maids in Peace Mansion! He has already swapped out several maids as arranged by his trusted subordinates. If he discovers anything that he can use against you, youre dead meat! Dont go out and stir up trouble for the next few days, alright? Wen Yas restrained sobs caused others to feel sorry for her when they heard her. It seemed like this woman still worried about her husband despite the way he had mistreated her. Yuan Tian looked at Mu Chenyan in shock. She knew that her brother and Mu Chenyan had previously argued, but she did not know the reason behind it. She suppressed the burning rage in her heart. Her cousin was truly shameful. He was a yboy, but did he have to fool around with the women in his own household as well? When Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Tians expression abruptly change, she hurriedly pulled Yuan Tian over and hid behind a thickrge tree. She lowered her voice and reassured her, I would have mercilessly beaten him up before he could get his way! Chapter 171 - Hes Really Such a Freaking Embarrassment to the Yuan Family

Chapter 171: Hes Really Such a Freaking Embarrassment to the Yuan Family

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian let out a drawn-out sigh while she and Mu Chenyan continued watching Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya who were not too far away. On the outside, Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya treated each other with mutual respect like a husband and wife who viewed each other as equal. Hence, even Yuan Tian could not believe that he treated Wen Ya like this in private. Previously, Mu Chenyan wouldnt dare to believe this either. However, after Yuan Zhe had previously gone to Hibiscus Garden and assaulted her while saying those extremely vulgar things, Mu Chenyan saw the true nature of this married couple. The affection that they normally disyed was a mere disy put on for others to see. Wen Ya was still quietly sobbing when Yuan Zhe pushed her to the ground. The high-quality fabric of her officewear and skirt set was immediately stained with dirt. From the looks of it, they had probably returned from somewhere too. This sh urred after they had parked the car but had yet to return to Peace Mansion. Yuan Zhe impatiently paced across the same spot. He ignored his wife who was on the ground because he felt that Wen Ya was deliberately provoking him. He scolded her in a loud voice, I told you that I wont be afraid of Yuan Xuan even if he stood before me. If hes brave enough, he shoulde and look for me so I can tell him how I slept with his wife! Ill tell him how wildly his wife acted while she was under my body... Mu Chenyan briefly sneered when she heard this. She felt like throwing up when she recalled how extremely awkward he had previously looked. Yuan Tian, on the other hand, was mortified. When she sneaked a nce at Mu Chenyan and noticed that her expression was still indifferent, Yuan Tian quietly sighed and said, Hes really such a freaking embarrassment to the Yuan Family! When Wen Ya heard Yuan Zhe speaking in a reckless and brash manner, her heart burned with rage. She got up from the ground and rushed towards Yuan Zhe before cursing, How could you say something like that? Even if youre not afraid of Yuan Xuan, arent you going to take my feelings into consideration at all? How am I going to face Mu Chenyan from now on? Yuan Zhe looked vexed when he saw how livid his woman was. His imposing stature worked to his advantage as he lifted his leg and kicked Wen Ya in the stomach before she could get close to him. The pitiful woman staggered backward for an instant before she fell on the floor. Wen Ya covered her stomach and panted heavily as traces of blood quickly trickled down the corners of her mouth. Why are you fussing about Mu Chenyan when Ive fooled around with so many other women? Yuan Zhe sneered before he suddenly bent down and grabbed Wen Ya by the cor. He grimaced before his tone became cold as he said, If Yuan Xuan feels wronged, Im willing to send you to his bed so that he can enjoy you. I feel like this is everything you could only wish for. After all, I havent touched you for such a long time that youre secretly longing for this, right? Mu Chenyan nced coldly at Yuan Zhe and his wife before a mocking smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. Although the Yuan Family was an aristocratic family with a hundred-year background, Yuan Zhe was still considered a peculiar individual among the younger generation. Wen Ya panted and grasped Yuan Zhes hands. Her big beautiful eyes stared at Yuan Zhe before she suddenly sneered and said, Hmph! Yuan Zhe, you can just keep bullying me because I can take it! Do you think that Im unaware of how much you actually fear Yuan Xuan? Your heart is filled with jealousy toward Yuan Xuan, yet you assume that everyone is an idiot. I actually feelforted after you said those things. You didnt get to sleep with Mu Chenyan, right? Yuan Zhe felt humiliated after being seen through. Rage exploded in his dark eyes as he fiercely looked at Wen Ya and ruthlessly said, You dont have to take pleasure in my misery because the day of Yuan Xuans death has almost arrived! Mu Chenwu has returned and theres no way he will forgive Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyans head swirled with countless questions after she heard this. She had only found out today that her brother was still alive, so how was Yuan Zhe able to learn of this news so quickly? The entire matter was extremely confusing. It didnt feel like anything was amiss when she kept to herself, but it now appeared that all the members of the Yuan Family were devilishly sly. Yuan Zhe shook off Wen Ya and took long strides to leave. Wen Ya weakly crawled up from the ground. Her delicate skin was covered in scratches and traces of blood were seeping through her stockings. It was a ghastly sight. It seemed as though she was already used to this. She took some tissue paper out of her bag and wiped her hands before also wiping the distinct bloody marks off her silk stockings. After that, she limped after Yuan Zhe.

Chapter 172: A Flower Stuck in Dog Poop

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Yuan Tian was sure that Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe had walked far away, she and Mu Chenyan walked out from behind the tree. Yuan Tian immediately began to curse, Hes my older brother but why are they so different? Ive known for a long time that my eldest brother was up to no good! However, Id never expected him to be this bad. Yuan Tians anger was understandable. Anyone else would have cherished a woman like Wen Ya, but Yuan Zhe treated her like a pair of worn-out shoes that he wanted to throw away. Moreover, she had even been domestically abused by him. Since Mu Chenyan had known about Yuan Zhe for a long time now, her reaction was not as intense as Yuan Tians. Her cold gaze nced in the direction of Peace Mansion before she whispered, There are too many monsters in that Yuan Family of yours... Yuan Tian had yet to understand what Mu Chenyan meant and assumed that she was just still mad at Yuan Xuan. Thus, she consoled her, saying, Chenyan, youve seen what a freaking scumbag this man truly is! Although Yuan Xuan has a proud personality and is somewhat overbearing, at least he still holds you in his heart, right? Look at my eldest brother. How could he possibly be a suitable partner for our eldest sister-inw? It seemed as though Yuan Tian could not hide her anger as she stared in the direction of Peace Mansion. Mu Chenyans mood had also be gloomy because of Wen Yas predicament. She had previously turned down Yuan Xuan when he offered to track down the people who bullied her because she was thinking of Wen Ya. If this matter was exposed, no one would suffer as much as that pitiful woman. It was exactly as she had said it. No matter how much Yuan Zhe fooled around, she could always turn him a blind eye. However, when he messed around with someone in his own household, she would surely learn of it sooner orter. How would she be able to face everyone else then? Tian Tian, our sister-inw Wen Ya has been married for four years already, right? Mu Chenyan suddenly asked. Yuan Tian hesitated before she nodded and replied, Thats about right. You had yet to graduate at the time, and were still overseas. Shed even told me that it was very unfortunate that you were one of her best friends but there was no way for you to attend her wedding. Mu Chenyans sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly while a confused look shed across her eyes. She and Wen Ya had certainly been closer at the time. However, all of the changes began after Wen Ya returned from abroad. She gradually severed allmunications between them, and when it was rumored that the Wen Familys business was in the midst of a crisis, Wen Ya was so busy that she became confused and disorientated. Mu Chenyan could understand her actions and did not me her for this. However, Wen Ya had not informed her when she got married after that. She only discovered after she had returned from overseas that Wen Yas husband was apparently Yuan Zhe. There had been a year-long gap between Yuan Xuans initial proposal and the date of the actual wedding. Mu Chenyan was only 21 years old at that time, but she handled everything on her own. Since there was no one whom she could consult, she tried to contact Wen Ya numerous times to get her advice. However, Wen Ya was intentionally avoiding her. Tian Tian, why did Wen Ya suddenly marry Yuan Zhe? Mu Chenyan remembered that Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe had previously not spent much time together. Moreover, Wen Ya was her equal in terms of her good looks, talent, and temperament. During those years, many people hadpared her to Wen Ya and said that the title of the number one socialite was firmly shared between the two of them. However, neither she, nor Wen Ya, werepetitive individuals. Hence, they were unconcerned about their little petition. Im not too sure about the entire situation, but I heard my father and mother secretly discussing that it seemed like our sister-inw was pregnant. Meanwhile, Old Mistress thought that since this involved the descendants of the second son and that the men of the Yuan Family also have to bear the consequences of their actions, she proposed that my eldest brother marry our sister-inw Wen Ya into the family. When Yuan Tian thought about it, she realized that it would have been better if Wen Ya had not married Yuan Zhe. Once a woman hadmitted herself to the wrong man, the remained of her life would be ruined. She thought of Wen Ya, a woman who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood in her own home, only to suffer such cruel abuse after being married into the Yuan Family. Theyre truly a real life example of the saying a beautiful woman who married an ipetent husband is like a flower stuck in dog poop. Yuan Tian continued to grumble but the words that she blurted out had amused Mu Chenyan. People usually say cow dung. Why must you always try to differentiate yourself from everyone else? Chapter 173

Chapter 173: There Was a Corner in Mu Chenyans Heart Where She Secretly Kept a Sliver of Trust for Yuan Xuan.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She thought of Wen Ya, a woman who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood in her own home, only to suffer such cruel abuse after being married into the Yuan Family. Theyre truly a real life example of the saying a beautiful woman who married an ipetent husband is like a flower stuck in dog poop. Yuan Tian continued to grumble but the words that she blurted out had amused Mu Chenyan. People usually say cow dung. Why must you always be different from everyone else? Yuan Tian rubbed her little nose and furiously scoffed, Cow dung still contains some nutrients so the flower wont suffer that much when it absorbs the manure. However, my eldest brother is so sh*tty that hes worse than cow dung. Hence, hes a pile of dry and useless dog poop! Mu Chenyanughed and thought to herself about how she was mostfortable when she was with Yuan Tian. As she chatted with Yuan Tian, the gloominess that had persistently gued her mind today seemed to fade away. She soon found a ce to sit down in the garden with Yuan Tian because she wanted to understand Wen Ya and Yuan Zhes situation better. Thats right, since you said that Wen Ya was already pregnant when they got married, what happened to that child? Mu Chenyan had always been concerned about this matter but had never been able to bring it up. Ever since she returned to the Yuan Family, Wen Ya had maintained a lukewarm rtionship with her. Thus, it was impossible for her to ask Wen Ya directly about the child. Yuan Tian became even more furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her slim little waist before she loudly cursed, I wasnt so mad before you mentioned this, but my idiot eldest brother caused her to lose it! It was something like... the sex was too strenuous... Yuan Tian looked slightly embarrassed when she inwardly cussed at him another hundred times. He was really an embarrassment to the men of the Yuan Family. Sex was too strenuous? Mu Chenyan quietly repeated the words. Her heart faintly trembled when she recalled that terrifying night with Yuan Xuan. How rough was it? His wife was already pregnant yet he still... Mu Chenyan felt that Wen Ya did not deserve this. He was only concerned with satisfying his own desires, and did not care about his wife at all. Why had Wen Ya initially chosen a man like Yuan Zhe who resembled the devil? Did Wen Ya and your eldest brother previously spend a lot of time together? How did she suddenly be pregnant with his child? Im not too sure either as I also only discovered this when I overheard my parents private conversation. There were some problems in Wen Yas familyspany. Since one of Second Uncles students had pull in the Public Security sector, Wen Yas parents pleaded Second Uncle for Brother Yuan Zhe to marry her. Yuan Tian spoke with ease, but these two sisters-inw were well aware of the nuances of the situation. It was likely that Wen Yas parents had exchanged their daughter for finances. Nheless, it was a pity that Wen Ya was not treated well once Yuan Zhe had gotten hold of her. It was truly unfortunate for this beautiful and intelligent woman. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian spoke for a while before she felt slightly exhausted. After the two of them parted ways, Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden. Yuan Xuan had recently been preupied because the corporation was doing their internal year-end summary as well as preparing their budget for the new year. Despite this, he would still frequently return and apany her for meals. He would sometimes also embrace her at night and kiss her when he was aroused. However, he was extremely restrained. During their affectionate moments, he would say some simple and loving things, but nothing more. This was difficult for an arrogant person like him. When Mu Chenyan thought of Yuan Tians interpretation, she agreed with some of her views. Inparison to Yuan Zhes brute nature, Yuan Xuan could truly be considered as a good person. Mu Chenyanughed bitterly while she considered her options. If what her brother said was true, this good person was acting really well. However, Mu Chenyan still kept a sliver of trust in Yuan Xuan deep within her heart. She did not distrust Mu Chenwus words, but she did not fully believe them either. It would truly be difficult to find someone who understood Yuan Xuan better than her. After all, she had loved him for more than a decade... One reason why Mu Chenyan had promised her brother that she would return to the Yuan Family and continue living undercover there was because she wanted to calm him down and prevent him from acting impulsively. If Mu Chenwu was genuinely willing to fight the Yuan Family to the death as he had said, not only was his grand scheme destined to fail, he would also lose his life in the process! Since she had already lost everything, she was unwilling to gamble her brothers life away as well. In any case, revenge was not a matter solely restricted to her brother. After all, she had the blood of the Mu Family flowing through her veins as well. On one hand, she wanted to give Yuan Xuan another chance. She nned to act at the right moment to obtain proof from the Yuan Family about that previous incident because she was frankly, unwilling to believe that Yuan Xuan was such a heartless person. As for the situation that her brother mentioned, she had not experienced it first-hand. Moreover, her father had supported her throughout the course of her rtionship with Yuan Xuan and was very epting of it. The woman who had gone to hell and back was no longer the innocent little girl of the past. She had learned to use reason to objectively view every situation. Chapter 174 - I Had Truly Loved You in the Past...

Chapter 174: I Had Truly Loved You in the Past...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zhong Heng International When Yuan Xuan returned to his office after the general shareholders meeting was over, his plump secretary served him atte that was made just the way he liked it. The aroma of coffee quickly spread throughout the spacious office. It was almost 5.00pm. The light from the setting sun cast a golden glow over the CEOs office while captivating golden light reflected off the body of the man who sat snuggly in the leather chair. The elegant aristocratic man rested his forehead on his arms as he fell deep into thought. His facial features were profound and angr. Moreover, their distinct edges made him extraordinarily handsome inparison to the average person. However, there was a hint of mncholy infused in his arrogant aura... The cufflinks attached at the sleeves of his white shirts were custom-made by the jewelry designer Pa Crevoshay who was contracted by the Swiss Bernina brand from Switzend. The gentle glow of the setting sun caused them to twinkle faintly. When Yan Jun came in to report to him, he noticed that Yuan Xuans expression was grave while his eyes were dim. It seemed as though he was battling with his own thoughts, while there was a sense of loneliness in the silence. Yan Jun was momentarily unsure as to whether he should speak or not. Has Mistress returned to Hibiscus Garden? Yuan Xuan was the first to open his mouth. His voice was slightly hoarse as he had clearly smoked too much due to stress. Yes, Fifth Miss sent her back. Mistress was at Hibiscus Garden since then and did not go out. Yan Juns face showed signs of hesitation before he asked in a puzzled manner, Young Master, why arent we going to capture Mu Chenwu when weve been given such a good chance? He slyly escaped thest few times but our personnel were in position today. He cant flee even if he grows wings! Yuan Xuans eyes shot open. His gaze was piercing and vicious as he said, Although its important to capture Mu Chenwu, this cant be done in front of Mu Chenyan. Do you really want her to hate me for the rest of her life? Yan Jun turned silent and lowered his head. He thought to himself about how Mistress was deeply embedded in Third Masters heart. Although Young Master had single-handedly undertaken such a great task several years ago, it still pained him when he had to be cruel toward his wife. Continue sending people to track Mu Chenwus. You must report to me right away if he makes any sudden movements, but you shouldnt alert Mistress! Yuan Xuan lowered his voice and instructed. Yan Jun nodded. Although this loyal assistant had not been by Yuan Xuans side for very long, he was still aware of Yuan Xuans temperment and nature. Since he had decided to personally take on this task, he would persevere until the end without retreating. Young Master, arent you afraid that Mu Chenwu might secretly try to trick Mistress? Yan Jun was still slightly nervous and asked. However, his worries were not unreasonable. After all, Mistress had sneakily visited Mu Chenwu before quietly returning to Hibiscus Garden. It was difficult to be sure of what she was thinking. Yuan Xuan took a deep breath and rose before going over to the wide French window. He stood there and looked at the setting sun outside, allowing the radiance to mark his body while unintentionally disying a rare moment of loneliness. If she chooses familial love over romantic love, Ill be respectful of her wishes. . ..When Mu Chenyan was soundly asleep, a man who faintly smelled of alcohol suddenly sped her waist from behind. After they touched, the tinglesy on the surface of her skin because of the chilly air immediately prated her right to the core. Mu Chenyan opened her eyes as the mans chin pressed itself against her head. He had drank alcohol, but was only tipsy right now. Warm air blew across her corbone, causing her body to turn into a limp mess. Mu Chenyan did not dare to move at all. She used her elbow to gently nudge the man who was stered against her before she whispered, Did you drink alcohol? Do you want to take a shower first? Yeah, I just drank a little. You were already asleep when I came in just now and Ive already taken a shower. Yuan Xuans voice was slightly weary and hoarse. Mu Chenyan initially wanted to decline him, but she did not have the energy to push him away. She had a yearning and a fondness for his hugs that had always been so warm... The man who was still sober then flipped her body over and firmly embraced her as the desires that he had suppressed for so long finally emerged. He quietly asked, Little Chenyan, may I? They had not done it in a long time. Mu Chenyan was momentarily startled. The conflicting emotions in her heart made her unable to respond. She could not immediately pretend as if nothing was wrong and be affectionate with him after what she had heard from Mu Chenwu during the day. Her eyes were glistening as she looked at his quivering Adams apple for awhile where his faint groans echoed out. The aromatic smell of alcohol that was faintly released from his mouth gradually threw her into confusion. Yuan Xuan had always been a very restrained person. Aside from the previous unhappy incident, he had never seriously troubled her because of this matter. Mu Chenyan turned her head away and pressed her face against his chest while she used her silence to reject him. Its okay! If you dont want to, I wont force you... When he saw that she did not respond for a long time, Yuan Xuan gently kissed her forehead before he continued, Little Chenyan, Ill be ready whenever you feel like it. Yuan Xuan... Mu Chenyans eyes were blurry because of the tears. She choked back sobs before she quietly said, What if I really betray you one day... Id forgive you! Yuan Xuan interrupted her and affectionately said. After all, I should be the one begging for forgiveness because Ive made you suffer worse things. She was stunned. Was this man, who was usually cold and quiet, now exposing more of his sensitive side because of the alcohol? He spoke in an affectionate tone that sounded like a promise, his dark pupils seemed infinitely deep, while his slender almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared at her beautiful little face while restraining his emotions. Her long eyshes trembled as though they were brushing against his innermost feelings. When she heard Yuan Xuan say these things, Mu Chenyan felt as though she was choking. With much difficulty, she swallowed her saliva and shut her eyes to hold back the tears that were threatening to trickle down. Yuan Xuan, you... Have you ever loved me? Her voice was heavy and full of worry. It seemed as though Mu Chenyan had used all of her strength to ask this question that she kept contained in her heart for many years. Now, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out. If she had not been lying down, she might have fainted. Although there woulde a day when she would have a fatal encounter with Yuan Xuan in which one of them would die, she wanted to make a deal with him while she still had her youth. Yuan Xuans bright almond-shaped eyes stared at her thick ck eyshes before the corners of his mouth curled up in a faint smile. Silly girl, why would you suddenly ask that? What do you think? He did not directly answer her question. Mu Chenyan felt that she was not brave enough to continue chasing for an answer and thus dropped the issue. She continued to shut her eyes and took a deep breath before she pressed her head against his chest again. She used a lot of strength as she stered herself there, as though she really wanted to melt into his body. Her beating heart almost burst out of her chest. The pain that was seeping into her very bones made her feel like dying every time she breathed. After some time, she felt as if his heart that was madly beating within his burning chest was calling out to her. Although Yuan Xuan waspletely silent, his body was quietly asking her if she still loved him. She clearly knew that her actions were wrong but it was difficult for her to deceive herself. She had previously loved him. Hence, why did the warmth that she had always longed for suddenly disappear after she had discovered the truth today? If she could, Mu Chenyan would have rather not fallen in love. She would not have to feel so much pain if that was the case. Moreover, she would not have to suffer the stab to the heart in the event that she finally confront him one day. Mu Chenyan murmured, I truly loved you in the past... Yuan Xuans body trembled when he heard her use the phrase in the past... For unknown reasons, his heart was suddenly ravaged with fear of losing her. The self-centered man who had always controlled the fate of others was seized by a ridiculous sense of anxiety. Youll love me again in the future! He dered in a bossy tone. When he spoke, the man waved hisrge hands and hugged Mu Chenyan tighter. He exerted so much force that the woman in his arms felt as though she was going to suffocate. Mu Chenyan quietly huffed and weakly attempted to resist him. However, eventually she had no choice but to reluctantly ept his hugs that were too tight. Hence, she could only obediently allow him to do as he pleased. Fourteen years ago, she had determined the course of life after she met him. This had never changed, because she had always longed for his warm embrace all this while. She could not understand why fate was so cruel to test her on the same day that she receive this long-desired embrace. The two people hugged each other tightly in that manner as Mu Chenyan continued to ster herself against his chest. Despite the burning heat, she slept more soundly than usual. Chapter 175 - What Happened to the Fight with the Wolf in Sheeps Clothing?

Chapter 175: What Happened to the Fight with the Wolf in Sheeps Clothing?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As the Spring Festival was drawing near, the Yuan Familys entire estate was decorated withnterns from top to bottom such that it was fully immersed in the festivities. Yuan Xuan was exceptionally meticulous about the setting up, because this was the first Spring Festival after Mu Chenyan had married into the Yuan Family. Hepleted the tasks in his office two days in advance so that he could personally instruct the maids in the Yuan Family Mansion to beautify Hisbiscus Garden and Upper Mansion. Once the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar passed, Yuan Tangbais old subordinates, friends, and previous supporters all came to pay him a visit. Some of these people were high-ranking military officials, while others were climbing through the business world. Still, some of them had already retired and were merely wandering for the rest of their days. Nheless, they were all important figures, regardless of their circle, and usually did not reveal the important aspects of themselves. Now that the situation had reached its tipping point, one could see the powerful supporting organizations behind Yuan Xuan. It was impossible for anyone else to stand in for him during extremely extravagant events like this. Thus, Yuan Xuan had to personally appear and greet them, as he was Yuan Tangbais only descendant. Yuan Xuan sent presents in return to thank each and every one of the various corporations, aristocratic families, and military organizations who sent congrattory gifts to Old Mistress. The social and financial influence of this hundred-year-old aristocratic familys was on full disy at this time. When Mu Chenyan saw this, she slowly understood why her father chose not to be involved in the life and death struggle with the Yuan Family during his final moments that year. It was just as Mu Chenwu had said. These delicateworks could be brought down at the slightest misstep. Thus, there was the probability that they would be killed by an unknown individual before their information could even reach Capital City. People from various ces came to congratte them but Mu Chenyan who was supposed to apany her husband had requested for leave. Firstly, she did not want to meet the guests because the bacsh from Shu Qingers long-standing court case still persisted until now. Secondly, Mu Chenyan knew that Old Mistress would get annoyed when she saw her. Thus, her absence at Upper Mansion seemed to coincidentally align with Old Mistress wishes. While Yuan Xuan was receiving guests at Upper Mansion, Old Mistress had Zhao Ruoxin apany her. Since Mu Chenyan was absent, she had an opportunity to pair her adoptive daughter with Yuan Xuan. This delighted Ruoxin because she had repeatedly appeared near Hibiscus Garden, as though she was looking for a chance to unt herself in front of Mu Chenyan. In Zhao Ruoxins mind, she was the one who always showed up and apanied Yuan Xuan to receive guests and greet them while Mu Chenyan was hiding far away. This had already proven that the Yuan Family had seemingly acknowledged her existence in front of outsiders. Although Yuan Xuan kept his distance from her and only remained polite, this did not deter her self-satisfied state from manifesting. On the other hand, Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with Zhao Ruoxin because she had something else on her mind. Thus, she simply avoided Zhao Ruoxin as much as possible. The more Mu Chenyan did this, the more victorious Zhao Ruoxin felt. She thought that Mu Chenyan was actively avoiding her because she was afraid. Thus, this woman became more arrogant and even more attentive toward Yuan Xuan, both publicly and in private. Mu Chenyan, werent you supposed to fight that wolf in sheeps clothing? Yuan Tian appeared to be more aggresive than Mu Chenyan. Ever since Mu Chenyans return, the Hibiscus Garden that had once been a restricted area had now turned into Yuan Tians yground. She would repeatedly ce her feet on the table and eat the various cakes that Ah Fu had personally made. Yuan Tian really became dizzy with happiness. Why would I need to fight that sly fox? Mu Chenyan was unconcerned. After all, Im admitting that she concerns me if I consider her as my rival. Why do I need fight with Zhao Ruoxin? Yuan Tian clearly could not fullyprehend Mu Chenyans reasoning. Zhao Ruoxin shouldnt be called Ruoxin anymore because a more suitable name for her would be More Sin (TN: Tried to trante the pun on Ruoxins name that was rted to a Chinese idiom.) How many tranquilizers has Yuan Xuan fed you to make you so unconcerned about this? Yuan Tian pinched Mu Chenyans face before she continued, Are you still asleep? Mu Chenyanughed and said, Zhao Ruoxin and I are merely pitiful souls living under other peoples roofs. She used her sisters name to live with the Yuan Family, but shes still not Shu Qinger. Thus, why should I be envious of a liar like Ruoxin when the one whom Yuan Xuan liked when he was younger was actually Qinger? Yuan Tian was speechless. If Yuan Xuan was such a fickle person, it would have been impossible for him not to have a woman by his side during those two years. Mu Chenyans eyes lit up right after she finished speaking. Was she unconsciously trusting Yuan Xuan during a time like this? If that was the case, then why did she refuse to give him the benefit of doubt during the long-standing court case that year? Chapter 176 - I Hope That I Can Still Embrace You Like This in Another 15 Years

Chapter 176: I Hope That I Can Still Embrace You Like This in Another 15 Years

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Since Yuan Tian did not know what to do with the virtuous Little Chenyan, she quietly said, Listen to Old Mistress advice and bring Zhao Yanni home so she can celebrate the Spring Festival. That way, mother and daughter can be together... Mu Chenyan was emotionless. Her innermost being that had been lonely for so many days finally felt touched. She thought of her own mother who was quietly lying on the hospital bed... ... After dinner, Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan hiding in the small tea room all alone. She hugged the electric heater to warm herself up because there were no heaters installed in the room. As she huddled up to the warmth, the graceful womans body became limp and weary. Her half-closed eyes seemed extremely hazy. Steam rose from the ck tea that she had recently made and ced on the small tea table beside her. Amidst the curling fog, the fresh scent of tea tickled ones nose before infecting ones body. When Yuan Xuan looked at the woman from the outside of the tea room, he felt like her gentle and sluggish appearance gave off a calmness that couldst an eternity. When Mu Chenyan noticed that Yuan Xuan was peeking, or rather, openly looking at her, she crawled up from the tatami mat. Her eyes were still heavy as she quietly said, This ce is too warm. I cant help but feel like sleeping. Yuan Xuan saw that she resembled a sleepy roon when she pouted her little mouth and used the back of her hands to rub her eyes. She could not hide her weariness. She resembled the youngdy of the past who had originally lingered in this tea room and used her tender womanly scent to disturb him. His heart instantly warmed up before he bent down and picked her up. His hoarse, raspy voice said, Go upstairs and sleep properly if youre tired. I can walk on my own... She quietly resisted when he treated her like a child. However, she soon stered her head against his chest like a puppy. When Yuan Xuan saw that she was acting like a spoiled child because she was sleepy, waves of heat stirred in his lower abdomen. Ill have to supervise you next time so that youll eat more. Youre so skinny that its almost as if your chest has lost two pieces of flesh. Yuan Xuan said in a deep voice as he lifted her overly skinny body. When his gaze drifted toward her chest, the monster in his body began to mor. However, he remained calm so as to prevent her from discovering his innermost secret. That way, she would not ridicule him to the point where he could not progress further. Are you going to feed me as if I were a pig? Ive already eaten a lot! Mu Chenyan was very unhappy when he mentioned those two pieces of flesh. Although she did not care whether others considered her an ideal sex goddess, any woman would still be bothered if somebodymented on her t chest. This was a form of humiliation. She lifted her loose pajama top and lowered her head to look inside before she muttered, Are mine very small? Yuan Xuan didnt know whether tough or cry when he saw how serious she looked. When he saw the seductive sight of her pulling her shirt down, he unconsciously gulped as the waves of heat in his stomach became more intense. Yours arent small! They can be cupped in one hand so theyre just right! Yuan Xuan raspy voice shocked Mu Chenyan. She caught sight of his angr lower jaw and seductive Adams apple when she raised her head. Since she had experienced this many times, she knew what this indicated... Yuan Xuan shoved Mu Chenyan under the covers when they reached the bedroom. She immediately burrowed her head under the nket because she did not dare to look at him when his breathing was uneven. Her body was sorge that she could feel the bed sink as the mans warm body quickly approached her. Do you want to get Mother from the hospital so that you can celebrate the new year together? Yuan Xuan restrained his lust and suddenly asked in a quiet voice. Mu Chenyans body stiffened up. She had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would bring this up. She assumed that Yuan Xuan would go straight to the action. Thus, she had never imagined that he would see through her worries and bring up the topic instead. Unlike nts, humans were strongly influenced by emotion. Hence, she was touched by Yuan Xuans tone. Aside from the surprise, her heart was faintly and unusually moved. Yuan Xuan was probably trying to be more considerate of Mu Chenyans feelings after he discovered that Zhao Yanni was going to visit the Yuan Family. On the other hand, Yuan Xuan hadpleted his duties toward his mother-inw Yan Mei with all his heart. A terrible ident urred at the time. Mu Feng died on the spot while Yan Mei was left barely breathing and was sent to the hospital. Yuan Xuan hurriedly rushed to the hospital when he received the news andmanded that they do everything to save her. Yan Meis life was only saved because several elites from the third son of the Yuan Familys military hospital and famous surgeons from Luo Hais biggest private hospital were recruited to participate in the emergency treatment. As of today, he had smoothly and naturally referred to Yan Mei as his mother. This was definitely a first. He had not called anyone mother for over two decades. Chapter 177 - Little Chenyan, May I?

Chapter 177: Little Chenyan, May I?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans heart warmed up but what came from her mouth was rejection. Its fine, shes doing pretty well in the hospital anyway. Moreover, she wont necessarily be willing toe and visit the Yuan Family... Mu Chenyan recalled how her mother had drastically changed ever since her return. The doctor said thata patients still possessed a subconscious minds. Her daughters return had stimted her will to live. Thus, Yan Meis condition had surpassed the doctors expectations. If her mothers subconscious was still alive, how could she ept the fact that her daughter was mingling with the Yuan Family who had caused the destruction of her own household? Mu Chenyan kept these thoughts to herself because she could not say them in front of Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan could only give up after he heard Mu Chenyan say this. He embraced her against his chest and pressed his chin against her forehead before saying, Chenyan, after the Spring Festival, wed have known each other for 15 years. Do you still remember that the first time you saw me in Luo Hai? When at 10 years old you returned from the Spring Festival... It was rare for Yuan Xuan to be so sentimental as to reminisce the past. Mu Chenyan had always assumed that she was the only one who fondly recalled the past... When she remained silent, Yuan Xuan assumed that she was still listening, and thus continued, We cannot relive our memories, but our futures are uncertain. I hope that I can still embrace you like this for another 15 years... He then covered her lips with hisrge warm hands. The rough touch of his fingertips made her shudder. This feeling that was a mix between a tender caress and a form of torture that caused her to lose herself. Despite knowing her for 15 years, he still remembered the blurry details of their past. Mu Chenyan suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, before she gently pressed her sweet lips against his stubble-covered chin... Yuan Xuan was shocked by her actions. She was just about to pull back before the man flipped over and pressed her tightly underneath him. Huh... Her eyes suddenly shot open. She had initially nned to stop after the kiss, not at all expecting this moment of passion. Go... Go to sleep... You still have to meet some guests tomorrow... Her gaze was extremely rmed while she pressed her little hands against his chest and rubbed it. Her gentle voice had lost its previous distance and coldness, making her seem like a warm young wife... Little Chenyan, do you know that its wrong to run away after igniting the mes of passion? His voice was hoarse and his tone was steady. However, his gaze was dangerous, with the mes that danced in his pupils threatening to burn her... Mu Chenyan knew that it would be impossible for her to evade him tonight. Mu Chenyan turned her face away. Her cheeks immediately turned scarlet, her big sparkling eyes became watery, and her breathing became uneven. The sensitive nature of their interaction had reached a stage that had her body confused, thus, her breathing was uneven. His gaze was piercing, indicating to her that a long-drawn contest between their emotions was about to begin. Their staring conteststed for a minute before the mans powerful voice rang out, Little Chenyan, may I? Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded. He asked the magic question. He had not touched her for a long time after the incident when he violently assaulted her. Obviously, the time he failed did not count. He had restrained himself and patiently resisted the temptation until now. Whenever he truly desired it, he would first ask her, Little Chenyan, may I? The body gave the most honest response that reflected the soul. She could never condition herself to be without any desire. The love which had been deeply embedded in her heart for so many years caused her to long for him just as much as he longed for her. Although this state caused her to experience unrelenting pain, it was a part of her very being, and was impossible for her to free herself from it. Her fingertips gently brushed across the distinct veins bulging on muscles before they finally stopped above his manhood. The vixens eyes narrowed slightly as her quivering voice gently asked, What do you think? She had learned to indirectly answer him. Chapter 178 - She Could Neither Resent Nor Love Him

Chapter 178: She Could Neither Resent Nor Love Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Without any hesitation, the man bent over and seized her slender arms before raising them above her head. Two pairs of lips touched each other as sparks flew. During the intense intertwining of their tongues, the woman who was already breathing unevenly suddenly let out a low moan. The man quickly swallowed the excited noise into the depths of his belly. Yuan Xuansrge rough hands instantly stripped off the clothes that were very normal, but currently seemed like annoying obstructions... His muscles that were exposed to the cold air were covered in goosebumps, causing her to shiver. However, she could not stop herself from being aroused by him. During her final moments of rationality, Mu Chenyan thought of the words that her brother said in front of the gravestone... However, the frantic but temporary confusion was quickly forced into a corner as he advanced. She was then covered by him before she promptly drowned in the pleasure. Everything progressed naturally... ... Afraid of hurting her, Yuan Xuan gingerly kissed her forehead before he reassured her, Little Chenyan, dont be afraid. I wont hurt you again. Mu Chenyan could not control herself anymore. She dug all ten of her fingers into his flesh while she begged her body to stop letting out anymore embarrassing noises. Her rosy cheeks caught his dripping sweat and mixed them with her tears. All sorts of bittersweet feelings welled up inside her heart... Chenyan, Chenyan... His whispers brought waves and waves of pleasure that surged through her chest and neck, before he gently bit her earlobe. This had always been Mu Chenyans sensitive spot. Mu Chenyans entire body rapidly began to shiver before she bit her lip and bashfully turned her face to face the other way while blushing. Yuan Xuan disliked it when she behaved in a reserved manner to conceal her intentions. She was clearly aroused by him but was still suppressing the lust. Chenyan, let it out! He quietly persuaded her while a sinister smile appeared on his lips. Mu Chenyan shook her head. No ones gonnaugh at you, so be a good girl and let it out. Yuan Xuan continued attempting to create a chaotic scene. He gradually advanced and forced Mu Chenyan into a corner. She was unwilling to admit that his body had caused her downfall once again. In reality, he had alreadypletely conquered her. Nheless, her body was not actively pandering to his needs because her heart was busy beating itself up. She was physically pleasuring this man as shey underneath him despite her parents intense hatred for him. These sinful feelings were so strong that they made her gasp for breath. Faint doubts surfaced in her heart regarding the things that Mu Chenwu had said. However, she could not find suitable reason or proof to support her ims. Her indecisiveness caused her greater pain when she was faced with Yuan Xuans gentleness. She wanted to love him, but simultaneously hated herself when doing so. Thus, she could neither resent nor love him. Her heart was deeply gued by guilt when she enjoyed these physical pleasures. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan was unaware of the worries that were overtaking her. The man who had not engaged in lewd behavior for a long time now used his body to satisfy his soul. He was in ecstasy now that he could use his own methods to express his love for her. The music that had not been yed in the house for a very long time now started humming away once again. ... The thick mist that rose inside the room slowly vanished. The exhausted woman quickly fell into deep slumber. Yuan Xuan gently kissed the rosy glow on her pale little face. After so many days, it seemed as though some anxiety had returned to his heart. Yuan Xuan tightly embraced her in his arms while his heart quietly sighed. As long as she was still by his side, he was fine... He was previously worried about personal gains and losses, but when he saw the way Mu Chenyany under his body, he felt relieved. He finally realized that, although he was not good at expressing his love verbally, it did not mean that it did not exist. Chapter 179 - Shes Slightly Insane but You Shouldnt Be Afraid

Chapter 179: Shes Slightly Insane but You Shouldnt Be Afraid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the second day, Mu Chenyan was suddenly struck by an intense pain that was simr to if one attempted to run 5000 meters without training. Her body that was already lethargic became even more exhausted because of this. When Old Mistress called everyone to Upper Mansion in the afternoon for lunch, Mu Chenyany on the bed without any intention to move. There were one thousand excuses she could use to decline the invitation, but she was too afraid to use them. She would never allow the entire Yuan Family to make fun of her for excessively indulging in physical pleasures! Mu Chenyan crawled up and applied some light makeup on her face. Next, she picked out a festive looking light pink knitted dress from her closet. There were several small diamonds that glimmered on the translucent piece of gauze that covered her chest, making it extravagant yet sufficiently modest at the same time. She wore a trendy beige cashmere coat over of her dress and walked downstairs in a pair of stilettos. Yuan Xuan was waiting in the hall. When he saw that she had made some effort to dress up, his heart was filled with joy. A smile unconsciously appeared on his mouth before he reached out and pulled her into his arms before quietly praising her, So beautiful! Mu Chenyans cheeks turned slightly red while she remained silent. Yuan Xuan had not seen her head to Upper Mansion although the Spring Festival was tomorrow. Bying, she could prevent Old Mistress from seizing the opportunity to ridicule her. Not only was she being very courteous, but she was also simultaneously making Old Mistress happy. You might see Ruoxins mother in a while. Shes slightly insane but you shouldnt be afraid. Yuan Xuan specifically mentioned this because he had already seen that woman yesterday. She appeared well-behaved, but if she saw the important youngdies like Ruoxin, Yuan Tian, and Chenyan who had dressed up beautifully, she might behave abnormally and yell, Xiner... Xiner... He had informed her about this because he was worried that Chenyan would be frightened if she had to witness this. Mu Chenyan bitterly smiled to herself. A previous suspect like herself was about to meet the victims mother. Although the other party was slightly insane, she still felt a bit awkward about it. Is that true that Zhao Yanni had previously been an astonishing beauty? Mu Chenyan quietly asked. Yes, Qinger and Ruoxin inherited their good looks from their mother. However, you dont have to worry because shes already insane, so she doesnt remember the exact details of the incident that happened that year. Yuan Xuan consoled her. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly and replied, The court has already ruled me innocent so I dont have anything to worry about. My heart was merely filled with sympathy when I thought of how a healthy person had be insane. She had taken one wrong turn and ended up going the wrong way. When she was in City C, her next husband was a gambler that nearly sold her and her daughter on the ck market. After the incident with Qinger happened, it was only natural for her to fall into a dark ce. At the time, Yan Jun had gone to probe into her. Yuan Xuan briefly mentioned the situation the fact that Yan Jun had gone investigate the mother. Mu Chenyan was shocked. Could it be that Yuan Xuan had suspected the mother and daughter of the Zhao n? She had clearly witnessed how Yuan Xuan had spoiled and showed extraordinary tolerance toward Shu Qinger. Conversely, Yuan Xuan had always only maintained a necessary amount of courtesy and distance with Zhao Ruoxin. This was the main reason why Mu Chenyan had never directly shed with Zhao Ruoxin. Chenyan, I owe Qinger a favor that I can never fully repay... It seemed as though Yuan Xuan had sensed Mu Chenyans concern. He suddenly embraced Mu Chenyan and spoke to her in a gentle tone. Could you tell me what that favor is? Mu Chenyan held her breath before she finally decided to ask. Him being so tight-lipped about this only made her want to know the details of his secret even more. It was impossible to act like she did not care. Previously, Shu Qinger was like a cinnabar mole on Yuan Xuans forehead C something that would always be there because it was eternally hidden from the moonlight... Chenyan, I would have told you long ago if I could say! There are some things that youre much better off not knowing. Ive done many things, but my only wish is for your heart to know peace. A hint of reluctance shed across Yuan Xuans dark almond-shaped eyes as he spoke. For some reason, a spark of hope shed in Mu Chenyans heart. Her voice quivered as she asked, Then Qingers baby... Wasnt mine! Yuan Xuan firmly said. When he fixed his gaze on Mu Chenyan, his eyes were unbelievably calm. Chapter 180 - All Eyes on Her

Chapter 180: All Eyes on Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The determination in Yuan Xuans eyes was like a beam of sunlight shining into Mu Chenyans heart, lightening her footsteps as she strides... Mu Chenyan held onto Yuan Xuans arm as they arrived at the Upper Mansion, where several of the important people had already been waiting. Due to the number of guests visiting in the Spring Festival celebration, Old Mistress even opened up the front hall for guests to hang out. The front hall was spacious. The eastern and western walls were decorated with antique shelves made of yellow rosewood. Pretty antique decorations and tools that Old Master Yuan liked were ced on top of them after having been cleaned thoroughly. Toward the north end facing south was the masters seat, a wide wooden chaise lounge with ornamental carvings. On its side, several intricate chairs made for one person each were ced in order, alternatively separated with a tiny tea table about four feet each side. Both Old Master and Old Mistress liked antiques that exude a sense of tradition, so the Upper Mansion of the Yuan Family was embellished in such a way that it harkened to the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Additionally, it was mixed with some modern aesthetics that radiated dignity and generosity. Sitting in the front hall, Old Mistress looked stately and majestic. The Yuan Tangbai couple was no longer there, but their seats were reserved, followed by Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo couples. Yuan Zhe led Wen Ya to the seat reserved for the eldest grandson gentlemanly. He ced his huge hand over Wen Yas, whispering to his wifes ear. Wen Ya would asionally smile faintly as Yuan Zhe helped brushed her loose hair behind her ears. Wen Ya seemed to be at ease in the situation. She beamed at Yuan Zhe a smile, her face flushed. Thedy seemed to really be happy... Seeing that, Mu Chenyan was a little ufortable. After finding out the secret between them, she was puzzled how the two could disy their affection publicly as if nothing had happened. Was maintaining an appearance of peace really more important that the true needs of the soul? Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran sat together beside Yuan Zhuan. Noticing the act of the Yuan Zhe couple, Yuan Tian shared a look with Mu Chenyan as if she was saying, Look, arent they just such good actors? Mu Chenyan forced herself to smile at Yuan Tian. Taking her seat beside Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan noticed Yuan Zhe looking at her. Without any change in facial expression, he made his mouth curve upward to form a smirk. Mu Chenyan could tell from his gaze that he was still immature, even a little hard to read. Mu Chenyan recalled the other day when she overheard his conflict with Wen Ya in the little garden. He seemed to know about Mu Chenwus return to Luo Hai as well. Yuan Zhe was really excited about it, but how could her brother have any connection with a person like this? Everyone was chatting away when Old Mistress decided that most people were in attendance and said, Yuan Family had produced many descendants to carry on its legacy, so Id consider today asing to a full circle. Everyone is here to celebrate this Spring Festival together. If only Old Master and Tangbai were here... The older they were, the more frequently people who had left them and unchangeable events would appear in their minds. Seniors were bound to dwell on memories! Seeing the objects they were associated with, Old Mistress looked over to Yuan Tangbais seat as she sniffled, prompting everyone tofort her. Mother, please dont be too sad! Brother had sacrificed his body for the country. He is the hero of Country Z. Even though he is here no longer, his heroic soul lingers. Look at all these people who visit us, arent they here for him? Yuan Tangshuo knew what Old Mistress was sad about, so he quickly assuaged her. Upon hearing sacrificed his body for the country, Mu Chenyan stiffed up as she looked at Yuan Xuan. It looks like the people of Yuan Family thought it was natural that Yuan Tangbai sacrificed himself! Mu Chenyan smiled ironically. Old Mistress nodded and wiped her eyes with her handkerchief. Yuan Tangzhong said softly, Mother, as you would know, even though big brother is no longer with us, Little Xuan was still doing well for us. Now that the youngdy of Mu Family also returned, big brothers family will begin to grow again in a few years when theyve had new babies! Mu Chenyan did not expect Yuan Tangzhong to mention her. She had tried to hide her presence as much as she could, but with a single sentence, everyones gaze focused on her. Chapter 181 - Not the Tamest Horse in the Barn

Chapter 181: Not the Tamest Horse in the Barn

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The room suddenly felt a little repressive. Chenyan had been back for quite a while. After conditioning her body, she should be able to have a baby now! Wen Ya spoke up suddenly and broke the silence. She cast a nce a Chenyan with a slight smile in her eyes. Mu Chenyan could sense a hint of longing and envy in her tone! It might be due to knowing that Wen Ya had lost a child before that Mu Chenyan sympathized her, but she could not say it. Mu Chenyan smiled slightly. She knew no matter what she said at this moment, she would not earn anymore than a scowl. If she expressed herck of desire for a child, Old Mistress would be enraged, how could a madam of Yuan Family have a thought such as this? If she expressed her desire for a child, Old Mistress might also quip at her, how dare she express her ambition of seeding the Yuan Family? The tension was tight between the two families. Even though they knew the inside story, they had to pretend nothing was happening. Mu Chenyan was going to go crazy. Beside her, Yuan Xuan held her hand into a tight grip. He almost growled, It should be soon! When we have the little carrot head, grandmother, you wont feel lonely anymore! With that deration, Yuan Xuan looked at Mu Chenyan before staring straight at his grandmother with conviction! A tiny chill crept up Mu Chenyans back. Yuan Xuan made a bold statementhis child must be born by her. Old Mistress scoffed lightly. She looked at Mu Chenyans skinny frame then looked at Yuan Xuan. In the end, she sighed. This child could not grow out of this foxy woman, after all. Shes all skin and bones, we dont even know when she would be carrying. Moreover, having a weak constitution is not good for the child! I think she should condition her body for now! Mu Chenyan was not sure why, but she could hear Old Mistresss tone loosening up, epting the fact that she might continue Yuan Familys legacy by birthing an offspring... Chenyan is not weak, I think shes just right! Yuan Xuan protested. His protective nature had tickled Mu Chenyans heart. Grandmother, I heard you were also a skinny beauty in your heydays. Look, Yuan Family still managed to blossom into the fruitful tree that we are now. All this is to your credit! Yuan Xuan had always been so protective of his wife, it was almost watertight. He praised Old Mistress, but at the same time, he stopped her from her insults! Old Mistress sighed again. She understood just how fiercely Yuan Xuan was protecting the girl. It was the Spring Festival, a rare time where everyone gathered. Even though she disliked Mu Chenyan, she should not be too overt about it, so she decided to let it go. Old Mistress turned toward Wen Ya. It had been so many years before there was any news from Zheer. Xiao Ya, you should go and have a checkup at your third uncles hospital! Wen Yas face paled. She looked at Yuan Zhe with trembling lips before he smiled. Grandmother, Ive been too busy, Im not ready yet! Yuan Xuan is the descendant of the eldest child, but uncle didnt want children due to his prominent military merit, causing Yuan Xuan to be the younger one, I think he should take the lead this time! Having said that, Yuan Zhe shot Yuan Xuan a mysterious smile as he nced at Mu Chenyan. Seeing the topic boomeranged to Mu Chenyan, Old Mistress smiled faintly, You young people always have your ideas. Whatever you want to do, go ahead, I cant care anymore! Xue Meiwei and Lu Shan smiled alongside Old Mistress, saying that the children have their own destinies to fulfill. Yuan Zhe saw Mu Chenyans cold gaze andughed. He said softly, Chenyan is the number one socialite cultured by Mu Family. She has both looks and talent. The future eldest grandchild in Yuan Family has to be birthed by her! However, Yuan Xuan should work harder. I heard my sister-inw isnt the tamest horse in the barn... Halfway through his unfilteredment, Yuan Zhe paused and stared at Mu Chenyan, grinning at the irony. It was an obvious challenge. If it were not for each others understanding of the situation, it would seem as if he had pursued Mu Chenyan before. Silently, Mu Chenyan glowered in disdain! Chapter 182 - Wen Ya Is a Good Lady That Is Way above Your League

Chapter 182: Wen Ya Is a Good Lady That Is Way above Your League

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion From the angles both overtly or covertly, Yuan Zhe was jesting at her. He was frustrated at his failure to make a move on her, so his words were as spiteful as a sour grape. Yuan Zhe knew that Mu Chenwu had returned, so he must have guessed that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan maintained a close front, but apart at heart. That was why he would provoke her with those words! Seeing Xue Meiwei, Lu Shan, Yuan Tangshuo, Yuan Ran, and Yuan Zhuan spending time with Old Mistress, chatting away excitedly and directing attention away from her, Mu Chenyanughed coldly and responded. I am, byw, a legal Mrs Yuan. Yuan Xuan is different from other people. I only need to do my best to serve him, why would I need to be tamed? Yuan Xuan was satisfied with his wifes answer. He stayed silent, nning to observe the battle! We have always stood by our united front without a need to pretend to love each other! If a man really loves his wife, then he should want the best for her, not disy affection publicly and abuse secretly! Mu Chenyan looked disinterested, but she was secretly livid at someone like Yuan Zhe! Mu Chenyan surmised that since he would treat Wen Ya the way he did but still show affection in public, he must be afraid that Old Mistress might find out! Wen Ya was her friend. Even if she could not help Wen Ya to get out of this toxic rtionship, she could warn this man who was less than a beast! Wen Ya was shivering and dared not to look at Mu Chenyan. It was as if she was the one making mistakes, not her husband. Mu Chenyan was heartbroken. In the past, Wen Ya was one of the top socialites in Luo Hai. Just because she was paired with a bad person, she became the fearful person that she is today! If it werent for that ident, she wouldve be a mother by now. At that thought, Mu Chenyan pitied her! Yuan Xuan sat quietly on his chair. Hearing Yuan Zhes provocation and tone of voice, then witnessing Mu Chenyans ability to rebuke him without making a scene, the edges of his lips curled upward. It was not that he did not want to help Mu Chenyan, but he did like watching her reaching out with her w like a tiny wild cat as it satisfied his sense of twistedness. His woman was not weak! She had been suppressed for too long! No matter in prison or in front of himself, she had always suppressed her most evil side. Sometimes, Yuan Xuan felt so sorry for her. Instead of suppressing her, he would let her unleash her true self! Yuan Zhe was so angry, it was as if smoke wasing out of all of his orifices. Mu Chenyan was making fun of his marriage with Wen Ya! If thats the case, she might have guessed the situation between him and Wen Ya, so Yuan Zhe dropped his pretense! Heughed in a low growl. Bantering adds a little vor in our marriage! Wen Ya likes it! As he was saying that, the man smiled at Wen Ya shamelessly. The poor woman had been shivering the whole time. Her eyes were filled with a swirly glint, and her fingers trembled lightly. It was evident that she was torn between loving and hating him, but Wen Ya knew how to restrain herself better than anyone else. As for today, she kept suppressing the pain in her heart and pretend not to understand anything! Yuan Zhe stood up suddenly. He ced his hand onto Wen Yas shoulder and whispered, Xiao Ya, tell them, dont you like my treatment? Huh? Mu Chenyan could see Wen Yas pale face and misty eyes, as well as her fighting the urge to cry in situations like this. A delicate and charmingdy, reduced to this level where she could not express her true feelings at all! Mu Chenyan sighed, regretting that Wen Ya could not live up to her full potential! Yuan Zhe, I will say this. Wen Ya is a gooddy that is way above your league! Mu Chenyan was frustrated. At this point, she was clearly angered by Yuan Zhe! Hearing Mu Chenyans exasperation, Yuan Zheughed silently. At least Xiao Ya and my parents arent fighting! Xiao Ya wouldnt be caught between love and hate! Miss Mu is undoubtedly the magnanimous one. Even with the drama between the two aristocratic families, you can still keep at your idea of love, what a rare quality to have! If it were me, I would have killed to make sure the other person suffer. Yuan Zhe smiled sinisterly! He was definitely trying to provoke her! Chapter 183 - Yuan Xuans Warning Was Simple and Straightforward

Chapter 183: Yuan Xuans Warning Was Simple and Straightforward

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhes words pierced Mu Chenyan heart directly! His voice was soft, so his words only traveled enough for the four people to hear, leaving out Old Mistress and the others. Yuan Xuans face darkened. The handsome mans upturned eyes turned frigid cold staring at Yuan Zhe. It was as if the moment Yuan Zhe continued speaking, he would kill him! Before Yuan Xuan could say anything, Mu Chenyan smirked and shook the cell phone in her hand. Yuan Zhe was taken aback a little. Seeing that he understood her intention, Mu Chenyan continued, Youre right. These words are so ssic, I want to record them with my phone so I can rey it in the future! Yuan Zhe saw Mu Chenyans cell phone and remembered the other day when he failed, his actions were all recorded by thisdy! Right now, Mu Chenyan was reminding him that his weak spot was still held in her hands. If he kept on going and his scandal was exposed, not even Old Mistress could save him! Beads of cold sweat formed on Yuan Zhes forehead, immediately dousing his condescending manner! Yuan Xuan stared at Yuan Zhe patronizingly. After Mu Chenyan had finished speaking, he was confused, but he did not betray anything from his facial expression. Daughter of Mu Feng, youre good. Your actions still pull their weights, I see! Not willing to give up, Yuan Zhe mentioned Mu Feng again! Mu Chenyans face flushed a sickly sallow! Yuan Xuan said suddenly, Brother, how are you doing, career-wise? Yuan Zhes face changed drastically. His eyes were wide and his jaw was clenched as he said, Im doing well! Oh, how did I hear about the recent bad press? asked Yuan Xuan as he smiled mysteriously facing Yuan Tangzhongs direction... Yuan Zhes jaw was clenched tight. He did not think that a tiny family gathering would turn into a theater for a political power struggle. He had yet to prepare the script for it, so he was a little flustered! I dont understand what youre saying! Yuan Zhe lowered his voice dangerously! They were all avoiding Old Mistress consciously. The descendants of Yuan Family could fight among each other, but they should never show that to Old Mistress! The rigid familial rule of old had already been deeply ingrained in their hearts. I was just reminding you. Deputy Mayor Chens hotline almost exploded withints, and even the public opinion monitoring mailbox was filled to the brim withints of some new delinquents misbehaviors! Yuan Xuan paused before continuing at the direction of Yuan Tangzhong. Brother, your fame will attract inspection, you should leave those people for your safety! If things go south and were exposed, its not only Yuan Familys fame that will be involved! Yuan Xuan canted lightly, with grace and elegance. His chilling gaze shrank his eyes to a single slender line, emitting an attractive aura,plementing his knife-sharp features. Yuan Zhe was pressed by Yuan Xuans intimidation and had seen his father staring over anxiously! He understood. His trips to Lan Kwai Fong had not gone unnoticed. The pictures that were taken there had been sent to disciplinemissioners. No other people would have done it, it must be Yuan Xuan! He lowered his voice and said with a smile, Little tricks like that are not worth my while! Yuan Xuans little tricks were not that clever! With his father on top of the food chain, Yuan Xuan could not use Yuan Zhe! Mm, I understand. How could brother do something like that? The men of Yuan Family were all upstanding members of the society. Tricks and improper conducts will never be a part of the Yuan Family! Having said that, Yuan Xuan paused, his eyes shing a hint of ruthlessness! My only concern is of those loud, petty people. This is just a warning in case there are bigger threats in the future! Yuan Xuans warning was simple and straightforward! Chapter 184 - Idiot Son Who Only Makes Troubles for Him

Chapter 184: Idiot Son Who Only Makes Troubles for Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion They were not loud, but Yuan Tangzhong had been paying attention to the entire conversation. It was especially so when Yuan Xuan shed him an asional nce of warning. Being in a high position for so long, it was impossible for Yuan Tangzhong not to know that look! Hearing Yuan Xuan said that the public hadined, Yuan Tangzhongs face changed as he heard the meaning behind Yuan Xuans words! The Capital City had wanted to nurture him. Even though there was not an urate report, insiders had alreadymunicated to Yuan Tangzhong that they should be more careful before the awards season and not ck off that might cause everything they had done to be for nothing! Yuan Tangzhong understood, if Yuan Zhe was caught being disruptive by Yuan Xuan, his job would be lost, let alone an opportunity to get a promotion! This nephew, Yuan Xuan, had always been a boulder in Yuan Tangzhongs heart. In his struggle of getting to the top, Yuan Tangzhong did not dare tox. Even though his big brother was gone, the background Yuan Tangbai left for Yuan Xuan had been supporting him and not something he could win over overnight. He had been in hiding in Luo Hai for years to cultivate his own influence in order to climb to the top. Unexpectedly, when Mu Feng was defeated two years ago, his promotion was deeply affected as well! Now that he finally had a chance to move on and continue to ascend thedder, why would he waste it away for menial things like that? Yuan Xuans choice of not inheriting the military merit from his father, choosing to pursue the path of business was only a smokescreen. Luo Hais political climate had been held in his hands the whole time! Yuan Xuan was young, but he was mature. His wisdom and charisma allowed him to sway hearts easily, causing plenty of problems for Yuan Tangzhong in the district of Luo Hai! Even if he stayed in Luo Hai, he would still be suppressed by Yuan Xuan! Furthermore, Yuan Xuan and the Shao Family from the Capital City were too close! In the past, the master of the Shao Family and Yuan Tangbai were both pursuing Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen chose to reciprocate Yuan Tangbais feelings, and matched her own cousin to Shao Jingshan, who gave birth to Shao Yibai who became best friends with Yuan Xuan! The aristocrats and politicians of Luo Hai had an internal scale of their own. Even if they were not keen on honoring thete Yuan Tangbais wishes, they would still honor the fame that came with the Capital Citys Shao Family! Even within the family, Old Mistress was supporting Yuan Xuan. If he did not use the opportunity to lean toward the center, it would be hard for him to stay in Luo Hai and have a chance to rise again! In this key moment, his idiot son, Yuan Zhe, was making more trouble for him! Yuan Tangzhong warned Yuan Zhe with a fierce re. The things youve done, well settle the ount one by one when we get home! Yuan Zhe was upset, but he dared not to stand against his own father and could only endure the embarrassment! Yuan Tangzhong wanted to change the topic, so he asked Old Mistress, In a few days, during the Spring Lantern Festival, the entire Yuan Family will be worshipping our ancestors. Will you still send an invitation to the Hu Family of East City? East Citys Hu Family was where Old Mistresss only daughter was married into. Old Mistress replied, Butler Fu will handle that! Hu Family is so prominent right now, it would be inappropriate to send a butler over. What if I go there myself to invite sister and her husband to spend the Spring Lantern Festival with you? Yuan Tangzhong continued. Hearing that, Yuan Xuan smirked silently. The little influence that his aunt and uncle have had been taken into ount by Yuan Tangzhong. If he would recruit them that enthusiastically, he must have been desperate. You can do it. I was just worried that you might be working too hard, so I nned to let the butler send the invitation. It would be best if you can go. Yuan Hongmin hasnt returned for the past two years, let her bring the children back! Speaking of her daughter, Old Mistress was longing to see her. The only worry she had was because Hu Family had some issues two years prior and got sacked from a governmental role. They did not dare to contact Yuan Family until recently when they had been reelected again. Chapter 185 - When Zhao Ruoxin Brought up City C, She Actually Trembled out of Fear

Chapter 185: When Zhao Ruoxin Brought up City C, She Actually Trembled out of Fear

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong epted the instruction. When Old Mistress saw that it was time, she ordered the servant, Go to the back hall to invite Ruoxin and her mother for lunch. Everyone gradually moved to the dining hall while chit-chatting. The servant had only been gone for a short when Zhao Ruoxin came down from the second floor of the vi with Zhao Yanni. This was Mu Chenyans first meeting with Zhao Yanni. Rumor had it that she was a remarkable beauty in the past when she was married to Luo Hais Shu Family. At the time, the Shu Family was still intact, and they held a high status among the aristocratic families. Unfortunately, one false step led to many more. Zhao Yannis secret affair with her private doctor was found out, and Shu Heng was so enraged that he drove her out of the house, along with the child with the bad heart. Back to modern day, her healthy daughter had died in an unexpected tragedy, she herself had be mentally deranged, and her current husband was a gambling addict. As fate would have it, she had to use this identity of hardship to find refuge under someone else. One could only feel sorry for everything shes been through. Mu Chenyan watched the Zhao ns mother and daughtere walking one after another before sitting down beside Old Mistress. Zhao Ruoxin was dressed dazzlingly. The clothes she wore was a dress that Old Mistress had probably gotten custom-made for her in preparation for the Spring Festival. Although she did not grow up in a wealthy and influential family, one had to admit that her poised aura was no less exceptional than those of the socialites in Luo Hai. However, Zhao Yanni was having the jitters. Even though she was wearing a set of clean clothes, she gave off a sense of shabbiness. Her hair wasnt neat, and her gaze was frantic and fearful. She nced at the crowd and she panicked, holding on tightly to a part of Zhao Ruoxins dress. Xiner... Scared... Im scared... No one knew if this kind of behaviour was normal for her, but she seemed to be extremely nervous at this moment. After hearing Zhao Yannis say this, Zhao Ruoxins expression changed. She tugged at her mothers shirt and rebuked her in a low voice, Mother, they are all the members of the Yuan Family. Whats there to be afraid of? They provide you with food and drink, and yet youre still afraid. Would you prefer to return to City C? Perhaps it was because Zhao Ruoxins tone was so full of disgust that even an insane person could detect it, but Zhao Yanni was terrified, and she kept shaking her head. I dont want to go back. I dont want to go back... City C seemed to bring up horrible memories. When Zhao Ruoxin brought it up, Zhao Yanni physically trembled in fear. Then sit down and eat quietly. After lunch, Ill bring you to the garden to y. Zhao Ruoxin changed her tone to that of a mother coaxing a child. Zhao Yanni held on to Zhao Ruoxins clothes and would not let go. Zhao Ruoxin smiled at Old Mistress helplessly. Grandmother, Ive requested not to have Mothere, look at her now... Old Mistress Yuan let out a sigh andforted her. Yanni, all that has happened is in the past now. Dont think too much. The reason we invited you over today is to apany Xiner for the festival. When Zhao Yanni saw Old Mistress kind eyes, she quietened down a little and cautiously sat down next to Zhao Ruoxin. Old Mistress was rather courteous to this insane woman. Everyone else at the table had their reservations toward this pair of mother and daughter who were outsiders. Therefore, the matter weighed on their minds while they ate. The Yuan Familys banquets were all the same in Mu Chenyans eyes. She was truly an outsider who could not grasp the situation, hence she gave the cold-shoulder to the Zhao ns mother and daughter who were of unknown origin. After lunch, the sons and daughters of the Yuan Family surrounded Old Mistress and chatted with her. On the other hand, Mu Chenyan bid farewell to Old Mistress with the intention of returning to Hibiscus Garden for an afternoon rest. When Mu Chenyan left, Yuan Xuan walked her all the way to the little garden before saying in a low voice. I guess you must be exhausted from yesterday night? Ask Ah Fu to give you a shoulder massage and knead your back to loosen you up a little. Chapter 186 - Im Not Mentally Ill

Chapter 186: Im Not Mentally Ill

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan blushed a little. What he had said was right. The intense work out from yesterday night had indeed caused her to feel sore all over her body. However, she could never tell Ah Fu that her entire body was sore, and then to ask her to give her a massage! Even though Ah Fu was young, that did not mean that she was dumb. She did not listen to Yuan Xuans suggestion nor look at him, instead merely saying goodbye with her head down. You can go and apany Grandmother now. Ill take a stroll in the garden as Ive eaten too much just now. It was already spring, the season of awakening for all creation, so the garden around her truly gave off a sense of beginning. Some of the unidentified nts in the little garden were already starting to reveal their sprouts. Mu Chenyan enjoyed the outdoors, she did not want to be stuck in the house. When Yuan Xuan saw that she was still blushing, he chuckled to himself. They had done it numerous times, but every time this matter was brought up, she would still be shy. This woman was really seductive! He reminded her in that deep voice of his, Dont stay out too long, and be wary of catching a cold. Mu Chenyan nodded and skipped along the path in the garden. The buildings of the Yuan Family Mansion adopted Huizhou-style architecture. The garden also retained the characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Coupled with Yuan Xuans love and particrness over garden art, and a few locations in the homestead made for wonderful sceneries. Mu Chenyan arbitrarily roamed about in the garden. On one hand, she wanted some fresh air to cool down and think about how best to ask Yuan Xuan to allow her to apany her mother on Lunar New Years Eve tomorrow; on the other hand, she wanted to avoid the scene of the Yuan Family reunion. Not everyone could enjoy such a life! Even if she left the Yuan Family and reunited with Yan Mei and Mu Chenwu, her family would still never beplete. Mu Chenwu had told her that he had assembled some forces and was merely waiting for the right time to topple the Yuan Family. However, he did not reveal the specific n to Chenyan. Mu Chenyan was worried about that indefinite future. After a while, she started to feel tired from walking. As the afternoon sun was shining brightly, she sat down and rested underneath the shade of a tree. Xiner... Im not full yet... Suddenly, Zhao Yannis voice traveled over from around the bend. Where are you taking me? The miserable womans voice was very weak, and there was a pleading tone to it. Let me have my fill... Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eat! Zhao Ruoxin chastised, Youve embarrassed me in front of everyone! Do you think Id actually bring you here if not for Old Mistress kindness? Mu Chenyan heard their footsteps getting closer. To hide herself from them, she quickly hid in the empty space between the dense trees. Zhao Ruoxin tugged at Zhao Yannis sleeves as they walked by from the direction of the Upper Mansion. Because her stomach was not filled, the insane woman was a little emotional. However, it also looked like she was afraid of Zhao Ruoxin and was thus being unwillingly dragged along by her daughter. Her face was full of grievance. Xiner... Do I still have to go back to that ce? I beg you, dont send me back to that ce... please? That ce is filled with people with mental disorders... You dont want to go back? Then can you remain at the Yuan Family? A trace of disgust shed through Zhao Ruoxins pretty eyes. You are already mentally ill. Why are you afraid of others? Zhao Yanni hurriedly replied, Xiner, Im not... Youre not what? Zhao Ruoxins words were harsh, and she had a stern expression. Even Mu Chenyan was surprised. It was fine that this woman was insolent and rude toward her every day, but was this insane woman not her mother? Huh, you better behave well. After Ive settled everything, Ill get you out of there. If youre disobedient and ruin my ns, dont even think about leaving that ce! Zhao Ruoxin threatened. Zhao Yanni was clearly terrified. She pulled Zhao Ruoxins sleeves and said tearfully, Im not mentally ill. Youre the one who asked me to fake it to help you... Chapter 187 - Miss Shu, Im Concerned That Youll Forget About What Truly Matters

Chapter 187: Miss Shu, Im Concerned That Youll Forget About What Truly Matters

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shut it! Zhao Ruoxin was enraged and stopped her. She turned to scan their surroundings before saying in a hushed voice, You have to stay at Zong He until my n seeds. You cant let anyone know that youre pretending to be ill! Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyans jaw dropped. Zhao Ruoxin first entered the Yuan Family because her mother was mentally deranged, her foster father had died, and the debtors of her gambler-foster-father were after her. If Zhao Yanni was merely pretending to be insane, then why was Zhao Ruoxins doing all of this? Moreover, Yuan Xuan had conducted investigations and found that Zhao Yanni had been insane for some time now. This meant that Zhao Ruoxin had nned this a few years back! This way, she could garner the sympathy of the Yuan Family and sail pass their defense to get to Old Mistress side. Using Qingers name, she could also gain Old Mistress protection. Other times, she would put on a cute or naive look and pretend to be infatuated with Yuan Xuan... This woman, who had some serious tricks up her sleeves, had carefully nned to get close to the Yuan Family. She would not have done all this for something as simple as to win over Yuan Xuan. Her methods were terrifyingly meticulous! One had to wonder what exactly she meant by after her ns had seeded. Xiner, what do you actually n to do? Zhao Yanni asked slowly while using her oily hands to rub her eyes. She seemed to be scared of Zhao Ruoxin, but at the same time, was curious about her ns. Although Zhao Yanni imed that she was not sick, Mu Chenyan felt that her manner of speech to be somewhat abnormal. Her speech and reactions were slow, as if her brain had gone through major shock. Zhao Ruoxin was clearly getting impatient. She looked at her mothers nk look and snapped, Can someone as stupid as youprehend such matters? You only need to remember this. If you dont listen to me, Ill send you back to City C! Upon hearing the threat, Zhao Yanni trembled in fear and pleaded continuously, I dont want to go back to City C. I dont want to go back. They wanted to sell me to the Golden Triangle to be a prostitute for the army... Humph! Its good that you know! Zhao Ruoxins pretty face was filled with disgust as she coldly said, Youve done so many stupid things in your lifetime. Agreeing on helping me is the only wise thing youve done. Whether to continue staying in Zong He Sanatorium or to head back to City C, its your choice. Im not forcing you to do anything! As Ruoxin spoke, the frigidness in her tone was overwhelming. This kind of state not only caused Zhao Yanni to panic, but even Mu Chenyan, who was still hidden in the trees, to feel extremely uneasy. Ill go back to Zong He! Zhao Yanni was obviously more fearful of City C. She was willing to remain in the psychiatric ward rather than head back to City C. Zhao Ruoxin sneered coldly and cast a sidelong nce at her mother. I see youre not all that dumb! At this moment, her handphone suddenly rang. She looked at the iing call disyed on the screen Mr Shadow! Zhao Ruoxin panicked and nced around. Then, she lowered her voice and picked up the phone. Why are you calling me at this hour? The other partys voice was deliberately suppressed, and there was a hoarse and gloomy chill to his words. Miss Shu, Im merely concerned that youre forgetting about what truly matters, so I called to remind you. Mr Shadow, my surname is Zhao, not Shu. Zhao Ruoxins tone was heavy but helpless at the same time. Hehehe, Miss Zhao? Alright then, Miss Zhao. Im here to I gave you what you wanted C youve sessfully moved into the Yuan Family. Now, shouldnt you start considering getting me results? Mr Shadows tone was sluggish, but Zhao Ruoxin could sense the murderous intent in it! Its the Spring Festival now. My mother has been brought over to the Yuan Family. Im afraid I wont be able to aplish the task youre referring to during this period. Zhao Ruoxin was extremely irritated, but she dared not offend the other party, hence she could only lower her voice and reply. Mr Shadow, rest assured, I wont do nothing after all that youve done for me, but I need opportunities and time! Alright, Ill give you some time. Nheless, I want to remind you that I could help you move into the Yuan Family, and in the same way, I can easily disclose your history. You have to think carefully about which result you want! Mr Shadows coldughter caused Zhao Ruoxin to shudder. She was extremely nervous, and her whole being was trembling as she forcefully suppressed the feeling of irritation currently brewing in her. Mr Shadow, rest assured, Ill get you results very soon so as to not dy your ns! Chapter 188 - Look at the Consequence of Disobedience

Chapter 188: Look at the Consequence of Disobedience

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan held her breath and hid motionless in the space between the trees. Zhao Ruoxin hung up the call and leaned against a tree as if all her energy had been drained from her. After some time, she regained her senses and noticed that Zhao Yanni was still watching her respectfully and with extreme caution. The way she acted as if she was threading on thin ice was pitiful. She sighed at Zhao Yanni and said, Youll have to stay on the outside for the time being. Dont approach the Yuan Family unnecessarily to avoid being found out, especially by Third Young Master. Whenever you see him, just dodge. After the festive period, Ill suggest having you sent back as soon as possible. Xiner, cant you let me stay with you for a few more days? Zhao Yanni pleaded softly. Zhao Ruoxin cast Zhao Yanni a disdainful look, her face filled with disgust. After the n has seeded, Ill go and get you. She turned to leave after she said this, ignoring Zhao Yannis expression that seemed to be on the verge of tears. After she left, Zhao Yanni slumped into a nearby chair and began to tear up. Mu Chenyan saw how that woman miserable looked. It was rather unbearable to her, and she could notprehend how Zhao Ruoxin could treat her own biological mother like this. Moreover, after overhearing the conversation, Mu Chenyan got the increasing sense that Zhao Ruoxin was not as she appeared. When Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan was already waiting in the living room. It seemed that he had been there for some time as the half-full teapot of Pu-er tea on the coffee table exuded a faint aroma. The handsome man was resting his forehead on one hand, with the other hand holding the teacup as he leaned back against the sofa and rested with his eyes closed. The cold and aloof aura he emanated carried lethal temptation. From Mu Chenyans angle, his angr jaw looked like it had been chiseled from marble. Youre back? Hearing the light footsteps, Yuan Xuan opened his eyes and ced the teacup onto the coffee table. He then got up and walked toward Mu Chenyan. The man wrapped his arms around her slim waist and said in a slightly reprimanding tone, I told you not to stay out too long. Look at how cold your body is now. Tomorrow is Lunar New Years Eve, and theres a nice performance for you to watch. If you fall sick, then all my effort will be wasted. Mu Chenyan did not know what performance he was talking about, but taking into ount how serious he was about it, he must have carefully prepared it. I walked around the man-madeke for some time and lost my way. You have to me the Yuan Family Mansion for being too huge. Lost her way? No wonder he could not find her after walking one round. Mu Chenyany gently in his embrace. Earlier on, in the garden, she had felt a little cold. Now that she was in his arms, the sharp change from cold to warm caused her to sneeze a few times. The fact that she was sneezing and her eyes were watery were signs of her catching a cold. Yuan Xuans expression changed. He hurriedly instructed Ah Fu to quickly boil a ginger drink, while he carried the shivering woman upstairs. Yuan Xuan tucked her under the nket whilst raising the air-cond temperature. He then held her small feet in his hands as he chided, These are the consequences of you being disobedient. Youre probably going to catch a cold now because of the spring wind. The warmth from his palms gradually spread across the bottom of her feet. Mu Chenyan hid in the nket, only revealing a pair of bright and watery eyes. A lump had formed in her throat as he massaged her. She could not express her feelings right now. Soon, Ah Fu brought over a bowl of ginger soup for Mu Chenyan. After seeing the bowl, Mu Chenyans pretty brows knotted together. Shemented quietly, I hate drinking this. Its spicy, and the taste is strong. Can I not drink it? Even though Ive caught a cold, Ill usually be fine after a nap. Hurry and take this away... Take it away... Even if you dont take it away, Ill still not drink it... Mu Chenyan had loathed the taste of ginger and garlic since young. Having caught a cold from eavesdropping and now having to suffer like this, Mu Chenyan quietlymented to herself. Chapter 189 - This Woman, Was She Also This Difficult to Deal With in the Past?

Chapter 189: This Woman, Was She Also This Difficult to Deal With in the Past?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans face darkened as he looked this woman who had caught a cold as a result of being disobedient and was now stubbornly refusing to take the medicine. He rubbed his forehead and got a headache just thinking about it. However, the man still coaxed in a low voice. Be good. Otherwise, your cold could get more severe. Just a single bowl of ginger soup wont be sufficient to get rid of it then. Tomorrow is Lunar New Years Eve. Do you want to celebrate the entire festive period with a cold? Ah Fu saw that Mistress was making a scene, and she was afraid that Young Master would not be able to coax her sessfully, so she also piped up, Dont worry, Mistress. Ive added lots of brown sugar. Its not spicy. Mu Chenyan looked at the bowl of brownish liquid, and her stomach swirled. She shook her head and said fearfully, Itll still taste terrible even with brown sugar. You dont need to lie to me. I dont want it. If you want, you two can drink it yourselves... Mu Chenyan had never been this irrational. She was really terrified of the ginger taste, like a child who was afraid of injections and would cry upon seeing the professionals dressed in big white coats. Mu Chenyans current state of struggle did not reflect her socialite status. Her fuzzy hair was unkempt, and her eyes were wide with fear as she stared at Yuan Xuan. However, she saw Yuan Xuan merely hugging his shoulders and looking at her with a straight face. His gaze was ring, almost as if to say try not drinking it, see what Ill do. She cried out loud in her heart and reluctantly took the bowl. After tasting it, she felt that it was still hot, and she wanted to throw a tantrum and not finish it. She pouted and tearfullyined, Who imed that you have to drink such awful stuff after catching a cold? Also, this is too hot. My lips will be scalded from drinking it! Yuan Xuan was annoyed and amused at the same time. She was the one who was sick, but she was acting as if she was doing them a favor. The handsome man raised his hand and motioned for Ah Fu to leave. He sat down by the bed, took the bowl and blew at it. After taking a sip to check that it was no longer hot, he gave it to Mu Chenyan. Its not hot anymore. Can Mrs Yuan drink it now? This man, whose tone seemed to be light and casual, was actually silently challenging her, as if to say, Lets see what other excuses you have now. Mu Chenyan was getting frustrated. Ive never liked ginger drinks since young. Whenever the maid boiled it and gave it to me, Id always pour it away secretly. Even when my mother found out, she did not force me. Now that Ive grown up, why have I lost all freedom aftering to the Yuan Family? Im well aware of my own bodys condition. I just dont like the taste of ginger. Even if I fall sick, Im willing to endure it. In any case, I wont be drinking this awful thing! There are various kinds of medicine I can eat. Why is it that I must drink this? As she spoke, this woman began to worm herself into the nket, totally submerging her head underneath the nket. Looking at his bunkered-down woman, Yuan Xuan was stunned. Was this woman also this difficult to deal with in the past? Ginger is a good remedy to chase away the cold. Youre now having the early symptoms, so youll recover after drinking it. However, if you choose to throw a tantrum, it might get worse and youll probably have to be hospitalized. Yuan Xuan patiently advised. Huh! The woman underneath the nket snorted and refused to budge. He had yet to discover that when this woman acted spoilt, she was very difficult to deal with! It was just a simple bowl of ginger soup, but she would not drink it no matter what he tried. Little Chenyan, youre already in your 20s. You cant be acting like a child anymore. Even if you want to be feisty, shouldnt you look at the circumstances first? Yuan Xuan used an affectionate tone as he spoke. He really had no idea what to do with this woman. Mu Chenyan was unresponsive as she hid under the nket, forming a small hump on the bed. She protested quietly, How can you be certain that itll get serious? Maybe Ill recover after sleeping through it... Ah-choo, ah-choo! As she spoke, she suddenly sneezed two times... Chapter 190 - There Had Been a Barrier in Her Heart All This While

Chapter 190: There Had Been a Barrier in Her Heart All This While

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hearing her sneeing again, Yuan Xuan became anxious. Mu Chenyan! Waa! Her full name had been called out. What was it that people were most terrified of when they were young? Their parents calling out their full name! This was because if ones full name was called out, they were sure to receive a beating. Yuan Xuan no longer called her Little Chenyan, which signaled impending danger. You know very well that Im not a man with a good temper. If you continue to act childishly, my patience will soon run out. Yuan Xuan lowered his voice and warned, the pupils in his eyes brimming with anger. His thin lips were curled downward, and his eyes were fixed on the annoying woman underneath the nket. The reckless woman snorted, taunting him even more. She still would not listen to him! Unable to quell the surging rage in him, Yuan Xuan reached his hands under the nket and grabbed her cor, pulling her out. Faced with such force, Mu Chenyans hands swung around desperately as she shrieked, What are you doing? I said I dont want to drink it and thats final! If you want, you can have it all to yourself. I wont drink it no matter what... Do you want to quietly drink it on your own, or do you want me to feed it to you? Hmm? This man was getting a headache watching this woman lose her poise, only to act like like amoner. A trace of helplessness shed through his pretty eyes. Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse and deep as he suppressed the rage in his heart. His narrow eyes stared at the irksome woman as he issued his final warning. You know... when a man feeds a woman medicine, there is one method that reigns supreme... If youd like to try it, I dont really mind, but just note that it might not be as simple as feeding a bowl of ginger soup anymore... As he spoke, he swept a nce across the womans chest, deliberately swallowing his saliva as he did so. Mu Chenyan understood the meaning of feed from his gaze, and she shuddered at the thought. Thinking back to how this man had persecuted her to this state, trapped her in this cage, and tyrannically taken her as his own personal ything... He forced her to sleep with him, forced her to take the medicine, and did not give her any rights to protest. All the negative emotions umting in her mind over the past few days broke out. She took the bowl of ginger soup, pinched her nose, and finished the poison in one gulp. When she had drunk all of it, Mu Chenyan gave the bowl back to him and said tearfully, When I was in the Mu Family, my parents still gave me some form of respect, but being with you now is really no different to being in a cage. If I could leave you, then Ill never have to be bullied by you again! She pulled the nket over herself as shemented. Then, she covered her head and hid herself underneath it before beginning to snivel. Yuan Xuan was stunned by the nonsense she had just spouted. This woman had actually been thinking of leaving him all this time? Just asking her to consume the medicine would cause her to throw such a fit? It was probably not just because of the awful taste of the ginger soup. There had been a barrier in her heart all this while, and the ginger soup was just the spark that ignited the fuse. Thinking back to her initial return to the Yuan Family, she had been rtively cold toward everybody. Initially, he had thought if he treated her warmly and gently, that eventually, she would revert back to her original, joyous self. However, judging by her words today, she probably did not have any intention of spending her life with him wholeheartedly. How frustrating! Yuan Xuan wanted to vent, but he realized that it was not the appropriate time. He was emotional at the moment, and she was pissed off. If they were to quarrel, he might identally hurt her... Yuan Xuan forced himself to calm down. After some thinking, he suddenly recalled what Yan Jun had mentioned the other day. Arent you afraid that Mu Chenwu will delude Mistress? Chapter 191 - If Mu Chenwu Plans to Delude Her, You’re Not His Opponent

Chapter 191: If Mu Chenwu ns to Delude Her, Youre Not His Opponent

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The other day she went to the cemetery. Who knows what Mu Chenwu had told her then? If her current mentality was rted to something that had happened back then, then her response was understandable. Since she was now considering the thought of being able to depend on her elder brother, she would naturally think of leaving him. As long as Mu Chenwu was around, she would probably never stop thinking of leaving him! As he pondered the possibility that she might leave him in the future, Yuan Xuan became extremely gloomy and cold. His entire began to give off a ruthless aura that was nerve-wracking to those around him. Yuan Xuan was unable to ept this fact! He really wanted to drag her out from underneath the nket and sternly tell her that leaving him was nothing but a pipe-dream. He would never allow it! However, seeing her little body sobbing underneath the nket, his heart softened. Mu Chenwu had been inciting chaos in Luo Hai for some time, secretly stirring up trouble. He had even covertly incited a few members of the younger generation to rise up and oppose Yuan Xuan. After meeting her brother, this foolish woman might have really be deluded! Thinking of all this, frustration and anger brewed in his heart. However, he could not vent at her, or rather, he could not bear to vent at her. This dumb-dumb! She was genuinely a foolish woman who could never see the whole picture! Yuan Xuan paced about the floor, his heart secretly berating for the longest time. Only after this did he manage to suppress his anger. He decided to switch perspectives and look at it from another angle. On one hand was her elder brother, while on the other, it was the man whom she loved. She herself might be feeling stressed about it. Since he had chosen to hide the truth from her, he could not impulsively let the cat out of the bag now. Alright. Youve already drank it anyway. Theres no need to cry anymore. I wont force you next time. After making this decision, Yuan Xuan looked at her, who was still crying underneath the nket andforted her softly. Mu Chenyan ignored him. Truth to be told, she too, was aware that she was throwing a fit. It was just that the repression she experienced these days, coupled with Yuan Zhes provocation at the Upper Mansion, had exasperated her, and she needed an outlet to vent. Hence, her emotions exploded the moment she was triggered, and the mere bowl of ginger soup had caused her to lose her topletely lose all rationale. Moreover, what upset her the most was that she suddenly realized that there was not even a sliver of trust between Yuan Xuan and herself! Upon her return, she had wanted to share Zhao Ruoxins secret with him, but the moment she opened her mouth, she had said that she had merely lost her way in the garden. She subconsciously wanted to keep the secret from Yuan Xuan. This instantly put her in a bad mood. They were husband and wife. Shouldnt they have the most intimate rtionship in this world? Howe when it came to sensitive topics, she was unable topletely put her trust in him? This annoyed her to the extreme. She cried for a while and did not even realize that she was falling asleep. Just like that, Mu Chenyanid in bed and slept through the whole evening, not even waking up to eat dinner. When Yuan Xuan saw that this woman was fast asleep, he got up and went to the study room. The moment the video call connected, Shao Yibais exceptional looks and effortless smile appeared on the screen. What is it? Now that you have a beautifuldy in your arms, hows it that you still have the time to chat with me? Shao Yibai was always spouting nonsense, but since he was exceedingly handsome, most people did not find him annoying. After noticing that Yuan Xuan was not speaking, Shao Yibai chuckled and teased, Or is it that your Little Chenyan did not fulfill you? Yuan Xuans face darkened and he ignored him. Mu Chenwu has met with Mu Chenyan. After a moment of silence, Yuan Xuan finally revealed what was causing him to feel uneasy. Youre afraid that your Little Chenyan will be poisoned by her elder brother and learn about all that happened back then? Shao Yibai smiled faintly. He was all too familiar with the way this buddy of his thought. If he could handle it solo, then he would not reveal his problems to anyone. However, when it came to matters rting to Mu Chenyan, this exceptionally calm man would lose his footing! I dont want her to know too much. Chapter 192 - Whoever Holds the Family Card, Holds the Trump Card

Chapter 192: Whoever Holds the Family Card, Holds the Trump Card

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan put his hands together and rested his forehead against his arms. His entire being was exuding a frosty aura.. If shes hearing things from Mu Chenwu, then its better if you tell her yourself. Yuan Xuan, you shouldnt have chosen to imprison her to shield her from the disaster that befell the Mu Family. Shao Yibai paused for a moment. He spotted a trace of guilt shing in Yuan Xuans eyes, but it was extremely difficult to get this proud man to lower his head. His restrained nature had long ensured that all pain and joy were to be bore by him and him alone. Youve got to trust Mu Chenyan. Maybe she can handle the truth. Youre always making decisions for her and not giving her the right to choose at all. It was rare for Shao Yibai to act so serious. He had a certain understanding of Yuan Xuans circumstances, so he had the right to speak up. I cant afford to lose! Even if we were to go back in time, Ill still choose the same path that Ive taken. Yuan Xuan stubbornly said as he rubbed the space between his brows. Refinement without ability is worse than in beggary. Hearing that Yuan Xuan was not willing to humble himself, Shao Yibai unceremoniouslymented, Youre not in a better position yourself, are you? Mu Chenyan resents you, and you yourself are constantly fighting with your own demons. Whats the point? Shao Yibai had onlye to know the reasons behind Yuan Xuans actionster on. Previously, Yuan Xuan had been acting all alone. Even when he was under pressure, he would go at it alone. A thought suddenly crossed Yuan Xuans mind. Even though he was upset now, it was better than the possibility of losing Mu Chenyan. At the age of 27, the decisions Yuan Xuan made were resolute and no one could deter him. Now that he was almost 30, two years of rtive istion had helped him to mature, but at the same time, had also taught him about personal gains and losses. Mu Chenwu is his brother. If Mu Chenwu ns to delude her, youre not his opponent. Whoever holds the family card, holds the trump card. Whats more, Mu Chenyan has misunderstood you many times in the past. What Shao Yibai said was true. You keeping it all in would only bring pain to Mu Chenyan. From my point of view, you shoulde clean about the old Xi Fan case and hold nothing back. Shao Yibai finished saying this and paused for a moment, giving Yuan Xuan the opportunity to ponder. Yuan Xuan leaned back into his chair and thought for a while before shaking his head and replying, No way. I cant let her know yet. Shao Yibai rolled his eyes in annoyance. What about Mu Chenwu then? That guys dark forces are growingrger by day, and theyre all based in Luo Hai. Even the Capital City is starting to take note of this matter and has sent a task force to investigate it privately. If Mu Chenwu is captured by the Capital City, and he decides to be a sore loser by revealing the truth of the matter from back then, the situation will return to the same as it was three years back. Youll still be unable to keep your Little Chenyan. Wont that be a waste of effort then? Shao Yibais words pierced Yuan Xuans heart. I never thought of ruthlessly dealing with Mu Chenwu. However, this time Ive made up my mind that once I reel in the big fish that is Yuan Tangzhong, hell be my next target! Mu Feng is already dead, and Mu Chenwu will be no more. After this, no one will bring up that cold case again. Yuan Xuans nd tone wasced with murderous intent. His expression was indifferent, and there was a chill to his words. Youve finally decided to round them up? The timing is rather nice. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order hasnt reached Luo Hai, so you still have time to make preparations. Shao Yibai smiled sinisterly, the bloodlust shing through his dark eyes. After hanging up the video call, Yuan Xuan felt a lump form in his throat. He sat on the sofa in the bedroom, his narrow eyes dim as he watched the thin woman on the bed. Then, he sank deep into thoughts. Shao Yibais words caused him to doubt his own decisions for the first time. Back then, before Shu Qinger was murdered, he had openly married Mu Chenyan, but he had also secretly nned to take down the Mu Family. Mu Feng was vignt, hence the biological father clutched at whatever straws he could through his own daughter, and in doing so, positioned Mu Chenyan at the frontline. Yuan Xuan, if you cause the Mu Family toe to ruin, you may win the battle, but youll definitely lose Mu Chenyan! If you dont touch me, Ill cooperate by letting my daughter marry you; if you so much asy a finger on me, Ill bring your woman down with me to the murky abyss! Mu Feng acted like a cornered animal, causing Yuan Xuan to hesitate so as to not involve her. Hence, he could not make his move. Yuan Xuan was also well aware that Mu Chenyan was his weak spot, and Mu Feng was certain that Yuan Xuan would not dare touch him because of her. In reality, that was what had really transpired. Yuan Xuan bid his time dealing with Mu Feng, thinking that he would first marry Mu Chenyan and deal with the restter. This was the reason he sent his marriage proposal to the Mu Family right after he returned to the country. Little did he expect for Qingers homicide case to surface at the crucial moment before the wedding. Someone had deliberately nned a set-up and framed Mu Chenyan as the murderer! Yuan Xuan did not know whether Mu Feng was behind everything at the time, but a war was about to break out. Mu Feng had foreseen that Yuan Xuan would be unable to juggle his task, hence with Mu Chenyans case tying him down, he would not have the time to deal with him. He brought up Yuan Tangbais old case and distorted the truth, throwing dust into the publics eyes and making a counter-attack against Yuan Xuan. From that point onward, Yuan Xuan hardened his heart and made a decision. He used Qingers case to throw Mu Chenyan into prison in order to shield her from the havoc. He would wait until after he hadpletely dealt with the Mu Family before helping her get out. Mu Feng did not expect Yuan Xuan to act so ruthlessly. Without Mu Chenyan acting as a human shield, the Mu Familys empire was dealt heavy blows and copsed overnight. When all this happened to Mu Feng, Mu Chenyan was still securely locked up in prison. Unfortunately, his n did not proceed perfectly. Mu Feng and the forces that Yuan Tangzhong had umted during his time in Luo Hai had helped Yuan Tangzhong to break away. When Yuan Xuan finally finished dealing with Mu Feng and turned his attention back on this man, Yuan Tangzhong was fully-prepared, and he had alreadypletely dissociated himself from Mu Feng. Yuan Xuan could only reset his strategy and hope that he could get hold of some dirt on Yuan Tangzhong by pure chance. Unfortunately, the game went on for two more years. In truth, he had lived through these two years in anguish. While Mu Chenyan was unjustly imprisoned, Yuan Xuan did not visit her at all in order to avoid Yuan Tangzhong thinking he could use her against him again. He created an illusion that he did not care about Mu Chenyan at all. This not only deceived Mu Feng, but also had Yuan Tangzhongpletely fooled. The uncle and nephew were fighting with each other in secret, building their own forces whilst waiting for the best time to strike. ... Yuan Xuan smoked for a while in the study room. He gradually calmed down and returned to his senses. He returned to the bedroom and saw Mu Chenyan wrapped up in the nket and sleeping soundly. She slept deeply throughout the night and dreamt of many weird things. In her dream, she was back at Xi Fan, riding on a horse and galloping through the vast and expansive grasnd. Her mother and Mu Feng were following from close behind. Ones gaze was full of love, while the others was apathetic. Mu Chenyan rarely dreamt of her time at Xi Fan. This was because she had lived a carefree life during those ten years. Her dreams normally caused her pain and heartache. Chapter 193 - She Was His Wife but Seemed More like His Daughter…

Chapter 193: She Was His Wife but Seemed More like His Daughter...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When it was about midnight, Mu Chenyan felt the bed sink a little, and arge warm heater was ced next to her. Her burning body was filled with the ginger decoction, and now arge heater was attached to her back. This made her feel extremely hot, and she became restless. The more she shifted about, the more attached therge heater became, and the hotter it burned. She continued to try to lose it by shifting her body. Seeing that she was moving non-stop, therge burner spoke. Eh? Therge burner speaks? Its voice is rather hoarse and sexy... It said, Be good, dont move. You know that my willpower is not that strong. If you dont want me to take you now, stay still. She felt that the voice of the burner was very familiar, and it also seemed to be annoyed... This voice triggered memories of someone who was enamored. My, how scary! Mu Chenyan dared not move about again and drowsily continued to sleep. Atst, she broke into a sweat, and when she woke up in the morning, her cold had gone away. * The next day was Chinese New Year Eve. Early in the morning, the entire Yuan Family was already scrambling about. The maids had changed into a new uniform as they shuttled between the pavilions, putting in ce the fresh fruits and tea that were all prepared earlier on. The trees in the hundreds-of-acres garden had been neatly trimmed, andnterns had been hung on the trees. The entire mansion looked very festive and joyous. The white color of the old-fashioned Hui architectural style paired well with the rednterns. This kind of ssicplementary colors beautified the Yuan Family Mansion in a way that was unique to this season. At the entrance of Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan was leaning against the door frame as she looked off into the distance whilst draped in thick clothes. There was a faint sorrow in her eyes, but it was not obvious. This was her first Chinese New Year celebration after being released from prison. This was also her first time celebrating the festival outside of the Mu Family. The daughters of themon people would often also go through such an experience. After marrying, they either celebrated the festival at their inws or brought their husband and children to their hometown to celebrate. However, for Mu Chenyan, the right to choose had been stripped away from her. Apart from the Yuan Family, she had nowhere else to go. Mu Chenwu had only left her his phone number, but did not mention to her where he was currently residing. Meanwhile, Yan Mei was in aa in the hospital and had only a faint sense of the outside world. The bustling scene of the Yuan Family made Mu Chenyan feel scared and lost about the future. She could not leave the Yuan Family as long as Mu Chenwu sought revenge. Thus, the date of her eventual family reunion was still uncertain. While she was lost in her thoughts, the mans deep voice pulled her back to reality. Why are you standing there without wearing your shoes? The anger in Yuan Xuans eyes seemed to want to swallow up this disobedient woman! Early in the morning, this woman had carried theptop downstairs. He did not expect to find her standing at the door daydreaming after he had washed up. Mu Chenyan was startled by his roar, and she looked down at the ground. True enough, she had worn wool socks in the morning and went to the small tea room to write some web articles. As she felt tired after some time, she came out to walk about. The wool socks were rather thick, hence she did not notice that she was not wearing any shoes. Looks like youre inherently rebellious and have been spoiled! Yesterday you didnt catch a cold, so today youre trying to make yourself sick again so that you can finally be satisfied, right? While speaking, Yuan Xuan had already picked her up. She was pressed against his body and smelt the light tobo smell as she responded inly, I dont feel cold. Why are you always treating me like a child? He did not listen to her quibble but carried her upstairs to look for her shoes. Mu Chenyan did not know whether to cry or tough. She really was not deliberately throwing a tantrum like a child C it was because the wool socks were really warm. However, from Yuan Xuans point of view, any arguments were a waste of breathe, hence it was better not to speak at all. She was his wife but seemed more like his daughter... Chapter 194 - You Yourself Are Not a Sunshine Boy Yet, but You Want Your Son to Be One

Chapter 194: You Yourself Are Not a Sunshine Boy Yet, but You Want Your Son to Be One

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After reaching the bedroom, Yuan Xuan helped her put on a pair of warm shoes. His expression was grim as he spoke in a low voice, Its been very easy for you to catch a cold ever since young, and youd have stomach ache every time you have your period. All these are due to yourck of awareness. Mu Chenyan was stunned. Stomachache? You still remember those things... As he said, every time she had her menstruation when she was younger, she would feel extreme difort in her stomach. There was once during the winter holidays, she hade to y in the Yuan Family and had followed Yuan Tian to the man-madeke for too long. Upon her return, her period arrived, and she passed out from the pain. Yuan Xuan had carried her to the bed at the time. Mu Chenyansplexion was pale as she clutched her stomach and moaned in bed. This frightened Yuan Xuan so much that he even called over his family doctor. The doctor prescribed painkillers, and after the pain slowly eased, she fell into a deep sleep on Yuan Xuans bed. When she woke up, she, she saw that she had painted Yuan Xuans bedsheet with a piece of blood artwork... You still owe me a bedsheet. As the man spoke, he began tough heartily, making Mu Chenyan very ufortable. That was my first time having menstruation... I didnt know how to handle it... The embarrassing topic instantly made Mu Chenyan want to die in a hole. Now youre all grown up, and yet you havent learned to take care of yourself. How are you going to be a mother in the future and take good care of our baby? Hmm? As Yuan Xuan spoke, his voice was filled with an love, despite the fact that he was being extremely serious. He had to teach his future childs mother well. Hearing this, Mu Chenyan was stunned. She actually thought of the possibility of Yuan Xuan and her staying together until the end of time. He would dote on her forever, while there would be no need for her to think about revenge. What a good and peaceful life it would be! Perhaps they would even keep their promise to Old Mistress and have babies soon... She didnt know why, but the moment she had this thought, Mu Chenyans heart suddenly became troubled. After having a child, there would be substantial change in their rtionship, and that was something that she could not fathom at the moment! Yuan Xuan was wearing his thick dark-colored woolen sweater. After bending down and helping her put on her shoes, the soft material of the shirt brushed against the tip of her nose. Yuan Xuan then embraced her in his arms and suddenly asked, Tell me, would you like a baby boy? Or baby girl? Mu Chenyan froze and replied softly, Baby... baby girl. Goodness me, things are nowhere near that stage yet. Whats the point of talking about it this early? Feeling embarrassed, Mu Chenyan quickly changed the topic. Hmm. I want to have a goal to strive for. Ill go and find out which technique will us a higher chance of getting a girl when were having our sessions. Yuan Xuan spoke with all seriousness. Mu Chenyan sighed in her heart. Every time he did it, he would pull all sorts of tricks. How could he ever keep to just one technique? However, she didnt want to discuss this with him any longer. She could only lower her head and continue to listen to him spouting nonsense while her face flushed red. When that timees, well have a little princess, and then we can have baby boy after. Ill teach him to be a gentleman toward the two of you! Yuan Xuan was speaking as if all these things were certain toe true. He was even nning to pave the way for his baby boy to be a fine and warm young man. Mu Chenyan could not bear the pull of this superbly handsome man. However, in her mind, Yuan Xuan was never a warm man. At least during her ten-year pursuit, she had never once experienced his warmth. Hearing that he wanted to bring up his son to be warm and friendly, she could not help but be amused. You yourself are not warm, yet, you want your son to be like this? Mu Chenyan chuckled and remarked softly. It was impossible for Yuan Xuan to miss the mockery in her statement. He suddenly lifted her chin, and they looked each other in the eye. The pupils in Yuan Xuans bright eyes were deep, and the surging emotions in them instantly submerged her... Mu Chenyan felt a little uneasy, and her pretty eyshes quickly batted. Seeing the signs of danger in Yuan Xuans eyes, Mu Chenyan shuddered. Before she could reject him, a scorching heat had spread through her lips, making her moan softly. Yuan Xuan kissed passionately, his tongue tangled with hers and as it entered her mouth, stirring up her emotions in the process. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she tried her best to lean closer to him. At times, she would initiate the moves and take a step back in order to allow him to further his advances, ying hard-to-get. Yuan Xuan sensed her mischievous y, and he kissed her even more intensely. One of his hands held her thin waist against him, such that she was able to feel his hardened object. He was telling her that he wanted her now, while the other hand held her head as he gradually began to advance and entrench himself, pressing on harder and harder at every opportunity... Mu Chenyan felt like suffocating. She made a muffled sound and surrendered, but by then, she was already forced into a corner with no means of escape. Only then did Yuan Xuan release her lips, but he then turned to her sensitive ears and whispered in a deep voice, I have no idea what a sunshine boy is like* (TL: A warm and friendly boy), but I do have an idea of how to ignite your passion at any time... This man surely loved to seek revenge for the smallest grievance! Mu Chenyan had no idea how long this demonstration went on for. She only knew that her legs eventually gave way in the end, and she ended up leaning on his shoulder panting exhaustingly. The two were smooching each other passionately early in the morning, going at it so intensely that it was if they were running a ten-kilometer race. Yuan Xuan had been exercising regrly, hence his lung capacity was huge. This kind of small workout was just dessert after a meal, but it was not the case for Mu Chenyan. Her mind was spinning from the kissing, and her face had an abnormal flush to it. Seeing Yuan Xuan smirking while holding her in his arms, she tried to change the topic and said, Yuan Xuan, are there any important people in Zong He Sanatorium? Maybe because they had talked about the past, and this, coupled with the passionate kiss from just now, had made Mu Chenyan suddenly feel a gush of warmth in her heart. She wanted to attempt to trust Yuan Xuan. Now, her intuition was telling her that Zhao Ruoxin forcing her mother to feign insanity to enter Zong He Sanatorium to fulfill an ulterior motive. Yuan Xuan hesitated for a while. Theplexion of the steady-natured man darkened, and surprise shed through his exquisite eyes. He asked quietly, Why are you asking about this all of a sudden? Seeing Yuan Xuans response, although it was brief, Mu Chenyan noted that Yuan Xuan had his guard up when faced with her question. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. The trust that had just bloomed in her heart gradually dissipated, and after some thought, she said, Nothing. Im just randomly asking. Previously Ive heard from Yuan Tian that the Yuan Family had contributed vastly to the public sector, and she asked me whether I want to be a volunteer... Zong He is mainly for the rehabilitation of those in theter stage of mental illness. Its not suitable for you to be a volunteer there. As Yuan Xuan spoke, he got nervous that this woman would throw a tantrum like she did yesterday and feel that he was confining her, so he continued on to say, If you want to do volunteer work, you can go to either East Star Sanatorium or Tian Yi Orphanage. They are very near the town. However, you have to take note of your safety when you drive to and fro. He thought that this was what Mu Chenyan was thinking, but she was actually just making things up. Hearing Yuan Xuans words, Mu Chenyan nodded, but she had other ns in her heart she would look into the matter regarding Zong He herself! Although she had found Mu Chenwu, her initial n to be a reporter was still very much alive. Moreover, with this new-found identity as a cover, it would be convenient for her when she went investigating. Since she already knew that Zhao Ruoxin had a hidden agenda, it was impossible for her to not do anything. As she was Shu Qingers younger sister, this could lead to some clues about Qingers case. She decided that after Chinese New Year, once there was news from Wu Ze, she would begin to flex her muscles at the outside world and show her capabilities. She could not help but be excited at the thought of this. Chapter 195 - Yuan Xuan Waiting in the Same Spot the Whole Time

Chapter 195: Yuan Xuan Waiting in the Same Spot the Whole Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The night before New Year. Mu Chenyan finally found out about Yuan Xuans exciting n! The year she returned after studying in the UK, she had participated in a British fireworks event. The fireworks lit up the sky like trees made of fire and flowers made of silver, leaving asting impression on her. It was only after returning that she found out that fireworks had been banned for a long time in her home country. Mu Chenyan had mentioned offhandedly to Yuan Xuan that she could not forget that experience in the UK, to which he replied that he would invite a pyrotechnician for their wedding... She did not expect the promise woulde true in three years! This was Mu Chenyans first Spring Festival in the Yuan Family. Yuan Xuan had honored his promised three years ago and hired pyrotechnicians from the UK... The difference from that year was that the mood of the viewers was different! That was thest year of Mu Chenyans studies in the UK. Without Yuan Xuan, she had felt helpless and lost for the first time in her adulthood. On November 5th, she visited the Alexandra Pce in London with her friends. Among the dusty air filled with falling fireworks haze, Mu Chenyan made a wish with her maiden heart, wishing to reunite with Yuan Xuan and live together until their hair turned gray! Her wish came true, but the reality was crueler to her than what she had hoped for. Under the same trees of fire and silver flowers, Mu Chenyan could not see the girl that was praying wholeheartedly with her fingers interlocked! Maybe it was because of her perseverance in love that she could sigh about the deception of fate in the current reality! The more love she had, the more difficult her choice was in the current moment! . ..The fireworks disy Yuan Xuan had arranged had gone on for more than 2 hours. Mu Chenyan was freezing cold. Yuan Xuan held her in his arm and promised, If you like, we could arrange for pyrotechnics every year! Obviously, Yuan Tian was overwhelmed by the novelty of his sister-inws preference. She stood in the Hibiscus Gardens entrance in a thick woolen cap, her tiny nose red in the cold as she waved her tiny fist around excitedly. Chenyan, do you know? Just for this performance, Third Brother had hired 6 helicopters to remove the dust in the air before the guys at the Department of Environment agreed to it... Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Xuan in surprise. He was slightly embarrassed for his insistence, but like the college boys who saved seats for college girls, but had to pretend like it was no big deal to cover up their own awkwardness. What was surprising to Mu Chenyan was that she had never known how important she was in Yuan Xuans heart... The year you graduated, when you were watching the fireworks in the Alexandra Pce, I was by your side the whole time! He noticed Mu Chenyans confusion and exined in his deep, raspy voice! Mu Chenyan was shocked! Her pretty face turned white in shock, her lips moved, but she could not speak at all. I was just watching you in the corner. I think your wish must have something to do with growing gray with me! The handsome man was as if he had worn a warm ring of light around him, shining brightly. His normally-cold eyes carried a faint smile as he fixated his gaze on the trembling Mu Chenyan! Just like the fifteen-year-old who stood beneath the pomegranate tree, who brought her the warmth she craved from the winter sun! Yuan Xuan, you, youre saying, you were always... by my side? Mu Chenyans voice was wavering so much, she could not even control it! She had thought the romance was just her wishful thinking! She did not know that he had asked Wu Ze to look after her in the years he had been gone, that he even snuck into the UK to be with her when she was graduating... He used his actions to tell her that even though time was moving on, if she could only nce back in time, she would notice Yuan Xuan waiting in the same spot the whole time! Chapter 196 - Don’t Worry, I Have a Honey Trap

Chapter 196: Dont Worry, I Have a Honey Trap

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The public disys of affection between her brother and sister-inw made Yuan Tian feel as though she was being suffocated to death. Shemented, The world is so huge, yet theres no ce for a single person like me. Mu Chenyan was amused by Yuan Tians sorrowful demeanor. She pinched Yuan Tians little face andughed as she said, Wouldnt Yan Jiangsheng be a good choice? If you want to find yourself a partner, hes already said that hell be there for you whenever you need him! Yuan Tian rolled her eyes at Mu Chenyan, afraid that her brother who was next to her would overhear. When he heard Yan Jiangshengs name, Yuan Xuan snorted loudly before saying, It looks like you still havent stopped contacting that guy. Moreover, youve actually involved Little Chenyan now too? Mu Chenyan was shocked. Apparently, Yuan Xuan was the main culprit who was trying to break up this couple. It was not surprising that Yan Jiangsheng had a bad impression of him. I... I merely took Chenyan to get her hair done... Yuan Tian attempted to lie her way out of the situation. There are so many other ces to get your hair done so why did you insist on going to him? Yuan Xuan turned around and looked at Mu Chenyans hair. He sounded annoyed as he said, It doesnt even look like he did anything! Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian were both speechless. Then, Mu Chenyan mentally rolled her eyes dramatically and sighed aloud. What exactly did this arrogant man think was so great about himself? If you girls like that styling house, Ill just buy it for you. However, Yan Jiangsheng must go C after all, a seductive man like him will only harm naive fools like yourselves! Yuan Xuan made a show of being earnest. Suddenly, he took his phone out and called Yan Jun. Go to Bewitched Moon Fashion House and talk to their shareholders. I want to buy them over... Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian were dumbstruck. Was this man being serious? Bewitched Moon Styling had more than ten branches in the Southeast Region. Although it was not just a piece of real estate, it would still be fairly simple to purchase the chain. Nheless, for it to exchange hands overnight was a bit over-the-top. Yan Jun was holding his wife and child as they spent the eve of the Spring Festival together. From the district where he lived, he could see the night sky in Xi Shan illuminated by fireworks. He thought to himself about how his boss was truly a big shot because of the way he could immediately send a helicopter to clear the dust once the fireworks were over. He took the opportunity to take a breather and rx for awhile. Mistress would probably get Young Master in a good mood during the Spring Festival. However, he had never imagined that his boss would suddenly want to purchase a chain of styling houses in the middle of the night C just as he was watching the fireworks too! That... Young Master... Shouldnt you rx a little while youre celebrating the new year and wait until youre back at work... Yan Jun boldly stated his opinion. His heart was roaring its displeasure. He knew that he would be upied for a long time if they were to take over someone elsespany. Furthermore, Kang Yu was usually the one who handled the trivial matters in the office. Yan Jun pped his forehead and inwardly sighed before he said, That boy Kang Yu is really sly. He hurriedly sneaked off to Phuket during the holidays. I was wondering why an unmarried person like him was so kind as to bring that blockhead Tian Qi along with him to go sunbathing. I cant believe it was so he could go into hiding! Upon hearing Yan Juns reply, Yuan Xuan nodded slightly. This was a reasonable suggestion. He realized that it would be alright to dy the matter for a few days. Before he put the phone down, he mentioned to Yan Jun that he would get his butler to send someone to give his child a generous red packet tomorrow. The cold sweat on Yan Juns forehead had only just disappeared before he was unexpectedly struck by the magical words that were red packet. Thus, he repeatedly thanked his boss before he put the phone down. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian were at aplete loss because they had no idea what to do. What would be of Yan Jiangsheng after the Spring Festival? Would hee back only to discover that all his executives had abandoned him, and that the only shareholder left in thepany besides himself was his most despised person? Moreover, did Yuan Xuan really mean it when he said that he was going to chase Yan Jiangsheng away? Yuan Tian miserably scowled before she turned to Mu Chenyan and whispered, Quickly think of a way to subdue the big man! Mu Chenyan had never expected Mr Yuan to be so headstrong. Her head ached when she realized that her gossiping had stirred up trouble that she now had to desperately try to resolve. She quietly consoled Yuan Tian, Dont worry, I have a honey trap! Chapter 197 - If Mistress Was Willing to Pay with Her Body for a Year

Chapter 197: If Mistress Was Willing to Pay with Her Body for a Year

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian left Hibiscus Garden with a heart full of anxiousness. Yuan Xuan knew very well that the woman woulde and grovel at him, thus he intentionally stopped talking to her and instead went to the study room first. In reality, he did not have any official business to handle. He simply wanted to speak to Shao Yibai. Shao Yibai woulde and visit the Yuan Family as well as see Old Mistress during the Spring Lantern Festival. Thus, Yuan Xuan got Shao Yibai to visit Shao Jingshan on his behalf as he had already sent his year-end gift over much earlier. Yuan Xuans heart became rather uneasy when Shao Yibai mentioned that his mother missed Yuan Xuan. Although Shao Yibais mother, Jiao Shufen, and his own mother were merely cousins, their appearances were extremely simr. Both of them shared a very good rtionship before they got married. However, no one would imagine that Jiao Shuzhens health would steadily deteriorate after she had given birth to Yuan Xuan. After Yuan Tangbai passed away, his wife followed suit shortly after. With this, Jiao Shufens yearning for her cousin was transferred onto Yuan Xuan. Thus, Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan developed a deep bond ever since they were little because of this. Yuan Xuans heart was filled with remorse upon hearing that his aunt was thinking of him. It was true that he had rarely visited Capital City to see her ever since he had returned from abroad. Ill go to Capital City with you to visit her and the others in a few days. Yuan Xuan promised. Once the video call ended, Yuan Xuan lifted his head and looked at his woman who was dressed in the sexiest scarlet lingerie in her closet, which was made of real velvet. She seemed rather bashful as she seductively stood at the doorway. His heart jumped for joy when he realized that she had fallen for his trap. Mrs Yuan, I assume that youre acting so flirtatiously now because you have something to request from me? Hmm? Yuan Xuan lowered his voice on purpose, shrouding it in a mocking tone. He recalled how she would start off gently before gradually bing firmer whenever she wanted something from him. Hence, he decided to act first and bait her this time around. Once he had done this, he saw very quickly that this silly woman had resorted to her old tricks of honey trapping him again. Yeah... Ho... Honey... Mu Chenyan looked extremely ufortable. She repeatedly nced at Yuan Xuans face before she sweetly called out to him. Yuan Xuans body stiffened. Why did it sound so pleasing to hear her intimately calling him by this title? Hmm? Can you say it again? I couldnt hear you clearly! Yuan Xuans childish behavior caused Mu Chenyan to gnash her teeth. He had obviously properly heard her but was intentionally making things difficult for her. Mu Chenyan had no other choice but to soldier on for Yuan Tian and Yan Jiangsheng. Her face reddened as she shouted, Honey, shouldnt you be resting? When she spoke, she turned her head toward one side and bit her lip. She blushed while looking like a delicate girl who was desperately trying to appear alluring. She was unaware that Yuan Xuan became more excited the more she acted this way. Without saying another word, Yuan Xuan rushed over and picked her up bridal-style. His imposing figure immediately smothered her with an aura and intensity that was unique to males, and did not show any signs of stopping. Yuan Xuan carried her to the bedroom while his heart frantically thumped in his chest. His breathing became slightly uneven before he croaked, Mistress was right, I should be resting. However, I cant do without my pre-sleep exercises. Stunned, Mu Chenyan stared at Yuan Xuans seductive jawline. When Yuan Xuan saw her like this, he could not help but tease her, Mrs Yuan, you shouldnt assume that you can get me to do whatever you want simply by carelessly teasing me. If you have a request, shouldnt you give me something in exchange too? He stuffed Mu Chenyan under the covers, but she immediately pulled the nket off and whispered, Will you let Yan Jiangsheng off if I sleep with you... Mu Chenyan felt that she had said something unnecessary but she would feel truly guilty if she just stood by and allowed Yan Jiangsheng to be attacked for no reason. She also could not go back on her word because she had already promised Yuan Tian that she would attempt to honey trap Yuan Xuan (TN: Using romantic or sexual rtionships to manipte others) to resolve the matter with her brother. However, once she put on her sexy sleepwear and ran over, her intentions became obvious. Hence, there was naturally no need for her to act restrained before Yuan Xuan C it would have been more efficient for her to just directly start negotiating terms with him. Yes! I was thinking that I could consider this if Mistress was willing to pay me with her body for a year. After all, earning money isnt as important to me as my wife. Yuan Xuan shamelessly grinned before his dark figure lowered itself onto her... Chapter 198 - You Girls Are Lucky Because You Can Use Honey Traps

Chapter 198: You Girls Are Lucky Because You Can Use Honey Traps

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans body trembled when she saw his energetic manner and pondered about the possibility of paying him with her body for a year. She attempted to increase the distance between the both of them. She pressed her little hand somewhat frantically against his burning chest before she murmured, Yuan Xuan, you... You havent showered yet... It wont make any difference if I shower afterward because Ill soon be sweating anyway! The man spoke as a matter of factly before he lowered his voice and seductively whispered, Since its New Years Eve tonight, why dont we do it while crossing into the new year? Before he finished speaking, Yuan Xuan covered her dark red lips with his own mouth. A tingling sensation that quickly traveled from the tip of his tongue to hers made Mu Chenyan let out a low moan. Mu Chenyan thought to herself, Do it while crossing into the new year? Ever since the old master had passed away, the Yuan Family had discontinued their custom of having their family reunion dinner on Lunar New Years Eve. Thus, the children and grandchildren would return to their own houses after finishing eating dinner by 8PM. Even though it was not even 11PM yet, they had already returned. Moreover, there was at least another hour before they would step into the new year... Do you agree... Do you agree to let Yan Jiangsheng off? Mu Chenyan was still thinking about her task although he had aroused her until her entire body was burning. She strenuously looked for an opening to quietly ask him the question while he was panting. Was Little Chenyan still concerned about another man despite being in such a dangerous situation? Yuan Xuan seriously did not know what to do with this Mistress whocked so much sex appeal. He could not help butugh when he saw how she was pitifully selling her body to gain influence. He stroked her sensitive area with hisrge hand and whispered, If Mistress is willing to do some tricks for me, then Ill promise to grant you your wish. Tricks? Mu Chenyan felt as if she was about to turn into a ball of fire. Her whole body spasmed when he teased it while assumptions about the tricks that Yuan Xuan was talking about swamped her mind. Using this... Yuan Xuan covered her red lips with hisrge hand and gently kneaded it between his fingers. Huh? Mu Chenyan was temporarily confused before she understood what he meant. She had never imagined that Yuan Xuan could be so lewd. The woman fearfully shook her head before she sobbed and cursed, Disgusting pervert, how could you do this? Third Young Master Yuan had suddenly turned into a disgusting pervert... Yuan Xuans heart turned gloomy when he looked at the person under his body whoserge watery eyes were disying actual fear. This woman could not be rushed into action. Rather, she needed to be guided over a long period of time instead. * He was exceptionally vigorous tonight. He was unsure whether it was Mu Chenyans decision topensate him with physical pleasure or the fact that she was paying him with her body to gain influence that had caused everything to taste so much sweeter. Hence, both of them felt much more pleasure than usual when she enthusiastically cooperated with him... Even when the two of them climaxed together, the man was only willing to rest when he finally filled up her body and heart. After the deed, Mu Chenyan felt a strange sense of belonging as he pulled her exhausted body into his arms. Mu Chenyan let out a quiet sigh. No matter how much she hated or resented him, her body would always respond in an honest manner to him. After all, her love and hate for him were deeply intertwined. Would she be willing to give herself to another man if she left Yuan Xuan in the future? Probably not! * Mu Chenyan looked exhausted over the next few days as a result of them having to do it so wildly since the night of New Years Eve. It had to happen during the Spring Festival period as well when the Yuan Family had numerous ceremonies to attend. A new round of visitations and rituals started again right from dawn of the first day of the New Years. Moreover, some of their associates from other towns would onlye after the Spring Festival. These people who held high-ranking positions were all prestigious individuals. On one hand, they came to visit Old Mistress and Yuan Tangbais orphan, while on the other, they were also trying to forge connections with the new generation of Luo Hais Yuan Family. Although their positions were very respected despite staying on the outskirts, their geographical upbringing and cultural backgrounds were naturally iparable to that of Luo Hai. Hence, their circumstances would naturally improve if they could draw support from the Yuan Family and eventually be transferred back to Luo Hai. As such, Yuan Xuans hectic lifestyle soon restarted. He was certainly aware of some of these peoples intentions. Furthermore, he was also aware that his words could impact the jurisdiction and transfer of personnel within Luo Hai. However, he already had a good number of people serving under him at the moment. If he allowed too many people to ride on the Yuan Familys reputation, he was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble if Yuan Tangzhong were to rope them in. Aside from inheriting his fathersposed and iron-willed skills, Yuan Tangbais young sessor had also inherited his sly wisdom when it came to dealing with matters that involved other peoples interests. He neither offended nor made promises to these out-of-town associates. However, all of them returned home happy once they were reassured and received the Yuan Familys generous gifts and favors. Yuan Tian also saw that her brother had seemed to forget about purchasing Bewitched Moon Fashion Styling House because of this busy period during the New Year. However, Yuan Tian was not totally calm, because she knew how two-faced her brother could be. A few dayster, Yuan Tian eagerly walked into Hibiscus Garden to follow-up on the situation. She needed to personally hear the news from Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan found it difficult to divulge her misery. Ever since she had agreed to pay him with her body, she had been exhausted. It seemed as though she was barely alive after being tortured by Yuan Xuan every night. Additionally, she could not keep her legs together... Yuan Tian knew that the problem had been solved when she saw that Mu Chenyans face resembled a peach blossom. There was a smile on her face as she sighed and said, You girls are lucky because you can use honey traps! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes dramatically at her. She was probably unaware that it involved more than kissing when Mu Chenyan was tried to get into this mans good books. However, how could she tell Yuan Tian the details? She recalled how the man had earnestly received guests during the day in an elegant manner C like a traditional young man of an aristocratic background, who was both noble and magnanimous. Conversely, he would transform into a demon at night who pestered her with lewd demands and often questioned her about whether she was feeling enough pleasure... Mu Chenyan resentfully gnashed her teeth at the thought. When she heard Yuan Tian sigh, Mu Chenyan pinched her pretty and unique little face before she said, Youre talking as if youre a guy. If you wanted to use honey trapping, a girl like you could easily catch ten men! I would like to use honey trapping, but unfortunately Im single! Yuan Tian happily giggled as she spoke. Her pearly-white teeth shed cheekily as she chuckled. Soon, the two sisters-inw began endlessly chatting again. Mu Chenyan also discovered from Yuan Tian that Zhao Ruoxin nned to send Zhao Yanni back to Zong He after the Spring Lantern Festival. Mu Chenyan had almost forgotten about this opportunity. She had her own ns upying her mind. If she was a fox, she would have to start acting like one. Moreover, she could not be too hasty for now. Ill start work in a few days. Mu Chenyan casually said, even though she herself was not so sure. She just wanted to pour out her troubles to Yuan Tian. Itll be good for you to work. You shouldnt trap yourself in a cage that is the Yuan household every day. As expected, Yuan Tian chose to support Mu Chenyan despite not knowing what Mu Chenyan was nning to do. Im going to be a reporter at the department where the police station and news office are coborating. Thats a good job. Its part of your natural instincts, and youlle into contact with people from the police station as well. Moreover, youll be able to see whether you can investigate Qingers case while youre at it! A meaningful smile appeared on Yuan Tians face when she spoke. Mu Chenyan suddenly sat up straighter. Unable to suppress her emotions, she said, Tian Tian, youre the only one who understands me... Yuan Tian sighed and whispered, But Ive let you down too. Mu Chenyan looked at her in a puzzled manner but Yuan Tian continued, When you did the premarital checkup at my fathers hospital, the leftover blood samples at that time which wereter lost were probably the ones that appeared at the scene of the crime. If my father had brought out this evidence earlier, you wouldnt have had to spend two years inside that hellhole... Chapter 199 - Hurting Someone in the Name of Love

Chapter 199: Hurting Someone in the Name of Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans entire body trembled terribly. As Yuan Tian had not been in Luo Hai over the past two years, she had no doubt heard about the blood sample incident through Third Uncle himself. Had Third Uncle always known that the sample was missing? Mu Chenyan asked in a quivering voice. Yuan Tian became slightly embarrassed when she saw Mu Chenyans reaction. Afraid that she would cause more trouble if she said something unnecessary, she merely gave a vague reply and said, Maybe. Mu Chenyan felt her vision blur before she was forced to take a few steps backward to stop herself from fainting. Yuan Tian quickly reacted and supported her as she tried tofort her, Chenyan, its in the past. We shouldnt think about it anymore, alright? Yuan Tian frantically tried to fix the situation when she realized that she had stirred up trouble. Mu Chenyan sat down, but her heavy chest heaved as she struggled to catch her breath for some time. Wu Ze informed her that he had worked hard to investigate the case and eventually got hold of this important piece of evidence. However, he had never mentioned the Yuan Family. Mu Chenyan only discovered today that Yuan Tangshuo had apparently provided this crucial clue much earlier. If Yuan Tangshuo knew about it, then Yuan Xuan would have also been aware of it much earlier! If Yuan Xuan knew about it but was unwilling to reveal the truth to save her, it could only mean that he had one goal on his mind C which was to make her spend two years in prison rotting away! Tian Tian, you should go home. I want to calm down on my own... * Yuan Tian still felt rather uneasy after she left. Although she did not understand Yuan Xuans goal, her heart was still filled with sorrow when she saw Mu Chenyans reaction. Other people casually mentioned those two years as though they were no big deal. However, did anyone actually know how much Mu Chenyan had suffer through that hell? * Mu Chenyan curled up at the seat beside the window in a daze. She had mentally prepared herself for this possibility a long time ago. However, when she actually discovered the details and truth, she still found it hard to believe. She could not understand why Yuan Xuan had actually left her there and ignored her. She had always assumed that Yuan Xuan had only treated her like this because he had mistakenly assumed that she was truly a murderer. She only discovered today that Yuan Xuan had been very aware since the beginning that she had been wrongly used. Mu Chenyans heart tightened when she recalled how she had stupidly attempted to forgive and ept him. How could she face herself today? If she had not been imprisoned, she would not carry the unlikeable personality that she did today. Moreover, she would not have spent numerous nights being woken up by nightmares about her returning to prison. ... Yuan Xuan discovered that this woman had changed after he returned from Upper Mansion. Why are you sitting by the window again? Arent you worried about catching a cold? Yuan Xuans tone was gentle. He stretched out his arms because he initially desired to be affectionate toward her. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan violently turned her head toward him before she shot an icy gaze straight at Yuan Xuan. The evidence that Wu Ze obtained to release me from prison, were you the one who gave it to him? Yuan Xuan was dumbfounded. His profound eyes darkened before he reached his arms out to pull her in. He whispered, Did Yuan Tian tell you something? You only have to tell me whether you did it or not! Mu Chenyan had a stern and unflinching expression on her face. She had never interrogated Yuan Xuan with such a cold tone before. Little Chenyan, I had my reasons why I did that... There was no way that Yuan Xuan could tell her that he was forced to leave her in prison to counter Mu Feng, and that her own father was willing to use her as a scapegoat. Mu Chenyan felt as though her whole world had copsed. He had indirectly acknowledged this truth by refusing to answer the question. Although she had known the conclusion since long ago, she persistently interrogated him because she herself could not believe it. Soon enough, Mu Chenyan buried her head between her crossed legs. She could not stop her voice from bing serious and resentful. The affection he had shown her over the past few days had basically turned into humiliation today. Yuan Xuan, regardless of your sorrows, have you ever considered my feelings? What right do you have to control someone elses fate? What right do you have to abuse your power like that? Although her eyes were misted by tears, her quivering voice continued, Yuan Xuan, do you know that youre crueler than the person who framed me as the killer... Her words shocked Yuan Xuan and caused him to break into a cold sweat. He had not disregarded the harm that he would cause her. Rather, the circumstances at the time had left him with no other choice. Nheless, he had underestimated the consequences of his actions. In her heart, he would never be the Brother Xuan whom she deeply loved ever again... Little Chenyan! Yuan Xuan quickly cradled her head in his arms before he quietly murmured, Im sorry, I know that I was very selfish! I know that my actions caused you tremendous pain... but youll never know how much I love you... Id rather have you hate me than tell you everything! Yuan Xuan painfully choked back sobs as he spoke. How can you say that you love me? Mu Chenyan shrieked when she saw that Yuan Xuan was still unwilling to tell her the truth. She shoved Yuan Xuan away with one swift push as she viciously red at him. Mu Chenyans eyes were filled with tears, like an injured animal that that had been backed into a corner. She continued shouting, What right do you have to love me? You always speak about love despite constantly hurting me. Is this what you call love? Chenyan used the back of her hands to wipe aside the tears that were streaming down her face while she spoke. Ive loved you for more than a decade and Ive never hurt you! But you? Do you think that the petty favors, sweet words, and pleasures in bed that you gave me could ever count as genuine love? You thought that these things were enough to satisfy me because I longed for you for more than ten years, right? Love isnt a form of charity or sympathy. Although I was the one who fell for you first, I still wanted an equal rtionship! You, on the other hand, felt that giving me little bits of affection was the same as loving me C because I was so cheap in your eyes! When Yuan Xuan saw that she was bing more emotional with her body trembling terribly, he frantically embraced her in his sturdy arms before he lowered his voice and consoled her, Thats not it! Little Chenyan, I know that Ive hurt you tremendously and theres no way for me to beg for forgiveness. However, you shouldnt doubt my love for you! Mu Chenyan used all her strength to break free from his grasp. However, when she was unable to free herself from the mans tightened grip, she pressed her face into his sleeve and sobbed away. She felt her entire body weaken and lost the strength to even keep her head upright. Yuan Xuan quickly picked her up andid her on the bed before he quietlyforted her, Chenyan, dont be like this. Well discuss this issue in the future, alright? Mu Chenyans gaze began distant. She stared at Yuan Xuan as though she no longer recognized him. Her eyes seemed to disy no sense of familiarity toward him. Mu Chenyan slowly came to her senses after a long time. Then, she softly murmured, Yuan Xuan, you recklessly manipte me and hurt me in the name of love because you think that my affections are inexhaustible! You have no fear of behaving boldly and saying that you love me despite doing things that hurt me. No matter what, youll always think that Ill love you and never leave you, right? Yuan Xuan remained silent and quietly endured the intense pressure from her gaze. The mans body began to give off a gloomy aura. There was not the slightest bit of emotion on his handsome face as he remained calm and covered her with a nket. After this, he silently sat at the foot of the bed to guard the woman whoy there. This stifling feeling caused Mu Chenyan to lose herst bits of reason. She hated how Yuan Xuan could remain rational in the face of adversity. Mu Chenyan would acknowledged that he was truly sorry if he had abandoned his cool attitude and begged for forgiveness. However, she would truly be dreaming if a cold and arrogant man like Yuan Xuan humbled himself like that. Mu Chenyan got up and took the pillow by the side before she violently threw it against Yuan Xuan and said, Get away from me! I hate you! I dont want to see you anymore! Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenyan came from a distinguished family with a mother who had an exceptional upbringing. Growing up, she would never lose control of her emotions or go crazy like amoner, even when she encountered matters where it would be reasonable to do so. Chapter 200 - That Woman Might Be in Luo Hai

Chapter 200: That Woman Might Be in Luo Hai

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans mind became slightly impatient when he was unable to fend off the attack from Mu Chenyans pillow. He violently pressed Mu Chenyan and her pillow down against the bed while stubbornly refusing to let go. Unable to vent her internal dissatisfaction, Mu Chenyan became so anxious that her face flushed while tears persistently streamed down her face. As she could not struggle free from Yuan Xuan, she could only sob while she remained underneath him. She resembled a small wounded animal that used its little ws and fangs to retaliate against him. Her current state caused Yuan Xuan to feel a strange sense of panic. Although she was previously wrongly used of being a murderer, her face had always remained indifferent during the numerous and repeated interrogations. She was so calm that it seemed like the matter did not concern her. Moreover, she had never sorrowfully cried tears of anguish. When she encountered those vermin in the prison who beat her up, she endured the harm that they inflicted upon her with her exceptionally patient heart. She also calmly retaliated when Feng Rao humiliated her during the banquet. Had she ever behaved so hysterically? It looked like her heart was truly filled with resentment for him. Yuan Xuan gradually understood it when he thought of this factor. It was not as if his Little Chenyan had not felt the pain. Rather, she had not seriously taken the people who hurt her to heart. Hence, they could not deeply hurt her because she automatically overlooked and disregarded insignificant people. However, the same things did not apply to him in her mind. The pain that he inflicted upon her could be likened to a stab. Furthermore, these stabs would ultimately lead to a violent death. Yuan Xuan suddenly lowered his head to kiss the woman underneath his body. Despite her resistance, whimpers, and persistent tears, he did not want to exin too much. This was the only way for him to express his innermost feelings. If Yuan Xuan knew that refusing to exin today would result in him narrowly losing Mu Chenyan in the future, he would definitely make a new decision. If he knew that walking alone was unlike two people carrying the burden together, he would not have buried everything at the bottom of his heart. However, there was no use crying over spilled milk. (TN: Used an English idiom with a simr meaning instead of directly tranting the Chinese saying.) * Mu Chenyan becamepletely indifferent towards her rtionship with Yuan Xuan after she discovered this matter. Since she could not win against Yuan Xuan, she came straight to the point and decided on a cold war. As she had initially disliked dealing with Yuan Xuan, she had found a suitable reason for it at this moment. She might as well let it be as she was waiting for them to break up! Yuan Xuan allowed her to do as she pleased this time instead of forcing her. When they embraced each other and slept at night, he was additionally affectionate towards the woman in his arms but he did not go any further because he was afraid of upsetting her. Nheless, they respected each other as husband and wife during the day and went everywhere as a pair while acting as though nothing had happened between them in front of outsiders. Mu Chenyan secretlyughed to herself. Her days were exactly like Wen Yas now. The men of the Yuan Family were truly toxic. Yuan Xuans heart became less assured the more calmly Mu Chenyan acted. It seemed as though he had instantly lost his sense of direction despite being the one who had always led their days. Third Young Master Yuans heart was clearly aware of how difficult these days were. Despite being a married man, he spent practically every day living a life of abstinence as though he were a monk. On the other hand, there were still differences between him and a monk because thetter would not have the temptation of women beside them. Hence, it would be fine as long as they could control themselves and their hearts. Conversely, he had to embrace his wife every day while looking at her expression before he did anything else. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan was determined to ignore him, much less allow him to touch her. Unable to fall asleep in the middle of the night, Yuan Xuan could only get up and drink red wine. Nights spent alone were always lonely while wine drank on ones own was always bitter. Thus, this crazed man turned hisputer on and harassed both Wu Ze and Shao Yibai. A vast ce like Luo Hai could not contain his troubles! He was obviously too afraid to mention his fight with Mu Chenyan to Wu Ze because that brat Wu Ze was still concerned about his wife. Would he not be giving him an opportunity if he allowed him to find out about this? His wife was still more important than the glominess in his heart. Wu Zes drowsy eyes were misted. He was dragged from his bed by Third Young Master Yuan right after celebrating New Years. Through theputer screen, the man held a ss of red wine and insisted on discussing business matters such as whether it would be suitable to dig wells and extract oil in Luo Hais recent weather. This was certainly not a wonderful thing. Third Young Master Yuan, Im not even concerned about my familys business. As for those geological reconnaissance terms that only interest old people like yourself, arent you preaching to deaf ears by telling me these things? After being disturbed by Yuan Xuan for three nights in a row, Wu Ze could not stand it anymore. A faintly ominous look shrouded his handsome face before he yawned and deadpanned to Yuan Xuan who was on the other side of the screen. If you insist on telling me those business matters, I can only recite thetest revised constitutions and canonical texts in return. Come, lets make each other suffer! Hmph, Wu Ze had decided not to respect men like him who refused to sleep but chose to disturb him in the middle of the night despite having a wife who warmed his bed. Yuan Xuan became unhappy. He was truly afraid that Wu Zes resplendent voice would really start reciting the constitutions and canonical texts. Terrible friend! Our friendships over! The man finished his alcohol in one gulp and decided to ignore Wu Ze. Yuan Xuan disconnected the video and pondered before he started a video call with Shao Yibai instead... It was fortunate that the night life in Capital City was much livelier there than in Luo Hai. When Shao Yibai lifted his phone, the band was ying a popr Beatles song at a deafening volume in the background. Despite the corrupt environment, the ambiguous mans face was unusually handsome. Shao Yibai had always been direct. After being repeatedly harassed by Yuan Xuan, he bluntly exposed his true colors. Third Young Master Yuan, since youve recently been frequently sending me video call requests in the middle of the night, aside from issues with obtaining what you want, this definitely has to do with the beautiful young woman being unable to satisfy your desires! Tell me, what has Little Chenyan done to make you behave so abnormally recently? Hmm? Shao Yibais tone was extremely rxed and one could even hear a slightly maliciousugh if you listened closely. Yuan Xuans dark figure sank into the chair while he shook the wine ss in his hand for awhile. It seemed as though his cold eyes were concealing something before his deep voice mocked, Ridiculous! Why wouldnt my desires be satisfied? Are they not? Shao Yibai smiled to himself but continued to harbor ill intentions. I was only feeling sorry for an unmarried man like you who was home alone. Thats why I woke up in the middle of the night just to talk to yo u! It was undeniable that Yuan Xuan was still stubbornly defiant despite being rebuffed everywhere. Alright, I can only let you see what a life of luxury really means! You feel sorry for me because I dont have a wife? Should a man of my caliber be worried aboutcking a beautiful young woman? While he spoke, Shao Yibai spun his phone around in a circle. The dazzling and colorfully illuminated karaoke bar was filled with men and women, making it very lively. Shao Yibai resembled a prince. He had anguid expression while his tall figure sank into a dark colored sofa which made him look rather rxed but still bewitching. Yuan Xuan secretly cursed him and called him a demon. Suddenly, a stirringly beautiful woman with wave-like curls beside him hugged Shao Yibais neck and delicately sighed, Master Bai, who are you so happily speaking to? You shouldnt just drink alone. Qianqian will have a ss with you, alright? Through the screen, Yuan Xuan could also feel that soft frame that was pressed against the flirtatious warmth on Shao Yibais body. Yes! Youve finally thought it through? Yuan Xuan who had never seen a woman approach Shao Yibai now narrowed his eyes and watched as Shao Yibai finished the drink that Qianqian had passed him in one mouthful. He could not help but tease him, saying, You little boy, have you finally decided to break your vow of abstinence? A faintly thoughtful smile shed across Shao Yibais uniquely handsome face before he quietlyughed and said, My staff have inquired about it and discovered that the woman might be in Luo Hai. Chapter 201 - It Was True That Men Who Were in Love Could be Childish Too

Chapter 201: It Was True That Men Who Were in Love Could be Childish Too

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan obviously knew who Shao Yibai was referring to when he mentioned that woman. It seemed as though Shao Yibais heart had been stolen. The demon that resided stubbornly deep in his heart originated from that mysterious woman. So your n was toe to Luo Hai and pursue someone? Yuan Xuan who had previouslye here to vent about his unfulfilled desires had now switched to the role of a rtionship counselor. He advised Shao Yibai, So many years have passed. What are you going to do if shes already married or has a new sweetheart? Impossible! Shes my woman! Ill kill anyone who dares to marry her! Shao Yibai suddenly spoke in a resolute manner, disying a huge difference from his normally unruly and uninhibited self. In fact, he now disyed the iron-willed and cold personality of a soldier. Yuan Xuan sighed, Your conscience is really f*cking obstinate! Youre a retired officer, not a bandit chief but youre still talking about killing people! I think you are the one with an obstinate mind. Why dont you change partner if your Little Chenyan is tormenting you so much? Instantly changing from his previously cold and serious demeanor, Shao Yibai sneered and became energetic talking about it. Sitting beside him, Qianqian was frightened by Shao Yibais sudden change of emotions that she trembled slightly and could not help but curled up her body. Perhaps she felt that the ambiguous aura surrounding him was truly terrifying. Yuan Xuan remained calm although the secret in his heart was exposed. He said, Shes merely throwing a tantrum because she recently discovered an old matter from the past. Wow, good job, Little Chenyan! said Shao Yibai as a gloating expression appeared on his face. She should have punished a tyrannical overlord like yourself long ago. I was hoping that Little Chenyan would fight back until you couldnt deal with it. Now you cant be so arrogant anymore, right? Hearing this, Yuan Xuans heart became unhappy and he argued, Women just have to be kept under control for their tempers to disappear. Shes unlike yours, she wont run away just because she said so! It was true that men who were in love could be childish too! Was Yuan Xuan actually bickering with his friend?! Shao Yibai scoffed before he sneered lightly, Dont rejoice too quickly. When I get to Luo Hai in a few days and found her, we canpete again! Are you nning to be permanently based here? Yuan Xuan knew that their coborative project would start after the Spring Festival. Since Shao Yibai could not take too much time out to supervise it, Yuan Xuan would need to take full responsibility for it instead. Nheless, the Shao Family would asionallye over and follow up on matters given that they were representatives of the governmental side. Yes, I may stay permanently. Shao Yibai smiled mysteriously. Didnt you say that you wanted to tighten your scope? I have to go over and lend you a hand then! ... The Spring Lantern Festival When Old Mistress daughter Yuan Hongmin brought the Hu Familys grandchildren to participate in the Yuan Familys ancestral worship, the Yuan Family Mansion instantly became livelier. Shao Yibai arrived on the third day after the Yuan Familys ancestral worship ended. He purposely did so to avoid the East Citys Hu Family. The Hu Family had previously asked Shao Jingshan for help when they met with a crisis. However, at the final juncture, the Shao Family in Capital City chose to take a neutral stance. This resulted in the Hu Family terminated from their government position, and they were instantly suppressed to the point that even the Yuan Family did not dare to visit them. Due to their rtionship with Yuan Hongmin, and with the intervention of some politicians, the Hu Family was reinstatedter. Hence, the rtionship between the Hu Family and Shao Family became strained. One reason for Shao Yibais visit this time was to look for the woman whom he had previously lost. Another reason for his visit was his business coboration with Yuan Xuan involving the oilfield in the Southeast Regions maritime space. He had no intentions to be involved in the elder generations grudges, and Yuan Xuan understood why he had avoided the Hu Family. In any case, Yuan Xuan had never been close to his aunt Yuan Hongmin either. No one was more excited than Yuan Ran at Shao Yibais arrival. Thisdy who had always been the obedient one in the Yuan Family and rarely stole the limelight during any functions could not contain the joy in the depths of her heart. She was eagerly attentive to Shao Yibai even in front of family members. Old Mistress had arranged for Shao Yibai to stay in another manor that was near to the old mansion. After residing in Capital City for long, Shao Yibai was tired of the bustling, popted and noisy big city. Hence, the countryside manor was suitable and fitted his yful nature. Chapter 202 - The Biggest Third Wheel

Chapter 202: The Biggest Third Wheel

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As soon as Shao Yibai settled down, Yuan Ran went over quickly to visit him. Brother Yibai, do you know about Luo Hais Lantern Show? Yuan Ran had always been sweet-tempered and pleasant and spoke in a soft and gentle voice. She was a well-known figure and highly likable amongst the emerging generation of socialites. How could Shao Yibai not know about Luo Haisntern show? The year that the central government assigned Luo Hai to be a special economic zone, was the year that thentern show started and became one of Luo Hais key specialty. Thentern show exhibition would be held for 15 days after the Spring Lantern Festival until the end of the first month of the lunar new year. Tourists from all over woulde by to visit it. Bored to death with the attractions in Capital City long ago, the first thing that Shao Yibai wanted to do in Luo Hai was to visit thentern show and experience the local customs and culture. Sister Yuan Ran, did you want to invite me to see thenterns with you? Shao Yibai bluntly asked. He was aware of Yuan Rans subtle feelings for him. Shao Yibai had always maintained a polite distance between himself and Yuan Ran as a form of respect towards the Yuan Familys Old Mistress. Yes, my grandmother said it would be dangerous for me to go alone because my brothers would be busy apanying my sisters-inw. Thus, I thought of asking you to apany me. Brother Yibai, would you be willing to do so? As a new age and youngdy from an aristocratic family, Yuan Ran restrained herself well and spoke intelligently. Moreover, she could also make well-bnced arguments. Shao Yibai smiled. His handsome face became slightly more reserved. He did not answer her directly but insteadughed and asked, Isnt Yuan Xuan going to bring your sister-inw Chenyan around? That man really doesnt deserve that beautiful young woman. He locks her up at home all day because hes worried about other peopleying their eyes on her! Yuan Ran became rather uneasy. She lowered her voice and asked, Why dont we invite Brother Yuan Xuan along then? Thats not a bad idea! Shao Yibais smiling tiger expression was somewhat lovable. Yuan Rans heart skipped a beat seeing how he was exceptionally handsome with an elegant manner and upbringing. Although the result was not what she desired, Yuan Rans heart still approved of it when she thought of how they were about to go on a journey together. ... Shao Yibai parked his car at the doorway and waited for Yuan Xuan, Yuan Ran looked at the side profile of the man in the drivers seat as though she was a love-struck fool. She thought to herself that there were no men in Luo Hai who were better than him. An individual like herself with this education and family situation would not be settling for less only if she married Shao Yibai. Initially, Mu Chenyan did not n to go along but she was left with no alternative when Yuan Tian rushed over and wailed about wanting to follow them. Thus, Yuan Xuan brought Mu Chenyan while Shao Yibai took Yuan Ran. Including Yuan Tian, the five of them went in two cars to thentern festival held at Ten Thousand Blessings Bridge za. Yuan Xuan sat in front driving the car, while Yuan Tian and Mu Chenyan chatted non-stop along the way. Yuan Xuan was never fond of crowded and bustling ces. But looking in the rear view mirror and seeing how that woman had on a bright and sweet smile chatting with Yuan Tian even though she remained cold toward him, he was suddenly interested to visit thentern show. Yuan Xuan who had always preferred peace and quiet was ready to enthusiastically risk everything and try something new now. Close to arriving, Yuan Tian suddenly wailed, shocking Mu Chenyan and she asked, Whats wrong? Yuan Tians face was dejected when she turned to Mu Chenyan and replied, Youre all paired up but Im all alone! The way I see it, Ill be the biggest third wheel at todaysntern show! Mu Chenyan was instantly amused by Yuan Tian. When she saw that the girl very much minded being alone, she said, Get your brother to quickly find you a man and marry him! When Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan had voluntarily included him in the discussion, he felt like a servant girl who had been personally picked by the emperor. The delight on his face could not be concealed when he said, I think Little Chenyans suggestion is doable! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him while she angrily thought to herself, Must you run your mouth? Chapter 203 - I’m Apprehensive of the Commoners Crowd

Chapter 203: Im Apprehensive of the Commoners Crowd

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan stopped talking about it and paid Yuan Xuan no mind. Thentern show was held at Luo Hais busiest Nine Lane Street where it was decorated with lots of beautifulnterns. World-ss lighting engineers from around the world were invited to personally supervise andplete the set up of these magnificentnterns and floats. The group of five arrived at the entrance. Thentern exhibition was divided into 4 sections with twones each for the visitors to view the disys. Since there were more people on the regr visitorsne and lesser on the VIPne, Yuan Ran suggested that they use the VIPne. Im apprehensive of being in the crowd with themoners! Yuan Tian was not surprised at all when Yuan Ran referred to the public asmoners. Meanwhile, Yuan Ran found it unimaginable that Yuan Tian worked in the medical field. Youre exposing yourself to all sorts of viruses and germs on the pretense of saving lives and treating injuries every day. Id rather die than treat the illnesses of themon people! Yuan Ran once said. This point alone had already ced Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran on two different levels. Yuan Tian was never careless under the pressures of work. She might not have an impressive academic background but Yuan Tangshuo had passed on all his knowledge to her, allowing her to be a doctor who could be described as an actual healer in reality. Yuan Tian was widely praised throughout Luo Hais medical industry, military hospitals, and by the public. She never behaved like a spoiled youngdy when she was working in the hospital. In fact, she treated the militarymanders, who were her superiors, and the lowlymon people equally. Yuan Tian resembled an angel who mingled with humans, using her own warmth to embrace the cold people on earth. Simrly, Yuan Tian could not ept Yuan Rans values and philosophy of life. For instance, Yuan Ran chose to do fashion design but right from the start, she believed that her designs should only be worn by prominent public figures. Alright, Chenyan and I will take the regrne because its livelier there. Were not as delicate as you so you should just go on the VIPne instead. There are fewer people there so a porcin doll like you wont have to be afraid of being touched or damaged! Yuan Tianughed as she spoke and intentionally rolled her eyes at Yuanher ticket. Yuan Ran was terribly annoyed. However, she did not dare to retaliate with Shao Yibai around lest she damaged her fairdy image. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai nced at each other. Yuan Xuans deep voice sounded indifferent andzy as he spoke, Dont look at me, Im definitely following my wife. As he spoke, the proud man strode away with his long legs and trailed naturally behind Mu Chenyan. Hey! Grow up, will you? She is not going to look you in the eye even if you follow behind her? Shao Yibai yelled on purpose because he wanted to annoy this man who regarded himself as iparably proud and noble despite being currently disliked by his wife. Yes, Ill admit that Im immature! Yuan Xuan turned around and perverselyughed. He casually spoke as if he was determined to not let Shao Yibai have his way. That little boy is usually extremely apprehensive of crowded ces but hes really changed a lot and prioritized his lover and forgot about his friend! Shao Yibai pensively looked at Yuan Xuans figure from behind. Yuan Ran became slightly anxious on the side and said, Brother Yibai, why dont we walk here? Im really afraid of crowded ces because it can get chaotic! Frankly, she was worried that the crowd would result in her not having a chance to speak to Shao Yibai. Nheless, getting rid of Yuan Tian and the others was also extremely desirable. Shao Yibai pondered and pretended to be troubled before he quietlyughed and said, Why dont you walk on the VIPne and Ill wait for you at the exit? Hearing this, Yuan Ran dared not walk alone. The main road of the lighting exhibition spanned over 10 kilometers. It was night time, what would happen if somebody with bad intentions were to approach a gorgeous and nobledy like her? Moreover, she wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Shao Yibai. Alright, Ill walk there with you! She had no choice but to agree to walk on the regr visitorsne with Yuan Xuan, Yuan Tian, and Mu Chenyan. Chapter 204 - Look Quickly, That Bodyguard Is So Handsome…

Chapter 204: Look Quickly, That Bodyguard Is So Handsome...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian secretly chuckled to herself when she saw that Yuan Ran had followed them again. In Yuan Tians eyes, Yuan Ran was too persistent when it came to approaching rtionships between men and women. Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran were only one year apart in age. Although Yuan Tian looked childish and impulsive, her heart was actually extremely calm when it came to men. She was very clear about the type of man she wanted. Although Shao Yibai was tantalizing, an intelligent person could tell in one look that Yuan Ran was not his cup of tea at all. Yuan Tian did not know how to deal with her stupid sister. Since she was not fond of her, she could not be bothered to keep up a front either. She dragged Mu Chenyan along and only concerned herself with staying in front while Yuan Ran pestered Shao Yibai. From the looks of it, the one who was actually left alone seemed like Third Young Master Yuan... The mans face darkened as he took big strides with his long slender legs and followed his woman from behind without saying a single word. Since he was already unusually handsome, the elegant aura and noble manner that exuded throughout his entire body made him stood out among the crowd. He overshadowed the splendor of thenterns as young women would snap his pictures sneakily with their phones. Everyone loved beautiful things. When they encountered a man who resembled a celebrity, their curiosity would always get the better of them. Look quickly, that bodyguard is so handsome... Huh, bodyguard? His appearance, his pace in tune with his wifes steps and the way his face remained stern and silent truly resembled like one of the Chinese governments bodyguards... Yuan Xuan was not annoyed because his thoughts were focused on the overjoyed woman before him. The north was known for their ice sculptures while the south was known for theirnterns. Being one of the renowned special economic zones in the world, Luo Haisnterns were certainly more outstanding than those in any other ces. Mingling with the bustling crowd, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian wandered through the numerousntern disys for a long distance without feeling tired. She turned around and looked at Yuan Ran who was fraillyining about being shoved around by the crowd, and how tired her feet were from walking. Poor girl, didnt you know that your feet will hurt if you wore high-heels and walked far? Yuan Tian felt her own thighs trembling when she saw the heels on Yuan Rans feet that were at least 8 centimeters tall. Shao Yibai acted very gentlemanly and supported Yuan Ran as she walked towards the chairs at the rest area. He quietly asked, Can you still walk? If you cant, do you want me to send you back? Yuan Ran was faintly shocked. A delighted look appeared on her face but her tone implied a sense of bashfulness when she said, It really hurts! I cant walk anymore but could you carry me, brother? Being a refined man, Shao Yibai was stunned and after seeing Yuan Rans blushing face, he nodded and said, Alright, Ill carry you. Yuan Ran was so happy that she nearly fainted. She stretched her arms out and waited for Shao Yibai to carry her before she suddenly heard someone nearby yell, Stop! Catch him... Stop him... More than ten meters away, she could see a middle-aged woman carrying a boy who looked like two to three-year-old running after a young man. A tall, young woman chased them from behind closely. The loud yells came from her. Theyre human traffickers. Everyone, help me stop them! The woman continued to shout and her footsteps grew more hurried. Unfortunately, she was wearing a skirt that hindered her running movements, and there was heavy traffic from the bustling and huge crowds who were here to see thenterns. The people around had yet to react to the situation, thus allowing the two human traffickers to slip through and ran past by the side. They violently shoved their way through and caused amotion within the crowd. The woman became furious when she saw that no one was helping her to stop them. Using one hand, she tore the corner of her skirt and wrap it around her waist. She had on a pair of ck stockings that made her long and slender legs beautiful. Her footsteps became quicker once she was no longer impeded by her skirt. She caught up to the middle-aged woman in a few steps and struck the womans neck. The child was thrown out of her grip and fell onto the ground and cried. The young woman picked the child up from the ground. Her beautiful face had a stern expression on it. Sheforted the child and softly said, Dont cry. Your mothers behind us and shell be here right away. The young man looked utterly ferocious when he saw that his aplice had been struck while the child was seized. He drew out a dagger near his waist and threateningly said, Dirty b*tch, Ill make you bleed if you meddle with our business! Chapter 205 - She Was a Promising Beauty

Chapter 205: She Was a Promising Beauty

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The young womans expression remained unchanged upon hearing that. She red at the pointed end of the dagger with an icy gaze before a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She did not seem to be a bit fearful but mocked him instead. Are your skills only limited to kidnapping children and brandishing daggers tomit violent acts? The criminals face was ferocious, his eyes had a cruel expression in them. He mored, Youre not afraid of this? Im going to make you cry! The crowd gathered around in a circle, quietly observing as spectators. The woman knew that situations like these would result in the bystander effect where no one would voluntarily help her as the crowd grew bigger. Moreover, she was at a disadvantage because she was fighting these two people while holding on to the child. The childs mother was still trailing behind them. She would have to wait until the child was safe before making her move. The young man became more arrogant when he saw her hesitating. He continued to shout loudly, raising amotion and telling the middle-aged woman on the ground to get up. Zhang Xiu, hurry up, take the child and run first. Let me handle this woman! Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu suddenly found her strength to get up. She charged over to snatch the child while Zhao San took the opportunity to stab the woman with his dagger. As she dodged, the woman simultaneously kicked Zhang Xius lower abdomen. The child was shielded in her arms all the while but he was so frightened that he did not even dare to cry. Zhang Xiu fell down from the kicks. Seeing that, Zhao San continued to attack ferociously as though he has gone mad and shouted, I just wanted to steal a child but you, a Chen Yaojin (TN: Name of a famous Chinese general. The name is depicted to describe a situation where someone shows up unexpectedly and disrupts a n.), had to appear. Prepare to die! It was certainly extreme arrogance for a kidnapper to kidnap a child in broad daylight and put up a huge fuss! The woman dodged his attacks while waiting for the right moment to strike back. She aimed at Zhao Sans knee and struck him hard till he copsed on the group. She leaped forward and slipped into the crowd to hide. When those two hoodlums mbered up and saw that more and more people had gathered around them, they attempted to flee because they were too afraid to continue fighting. My child! Wheres my child? Little Tiger, Mom... Mom is here... The childs mother had finally caught up and wasboriously panting due to her crying. She trembled as she took her child from the young womans arms and said, My savior... Within the blink of an eye... Those people had snatched Little Tiger... Luckily you were there... The childs mother uttered cries of anguish and was unable to finish her sentence. The womans expression was calm when she passed the child back to his mother and quietly said, Hold your child properly, Im going after the criminals! The people around helped them profusely and pulled the mother and her child to one side while saying, That was so dangerous. Hurry up and hide here... Oh no, youngdy. You shouldnt chase them anymore. We should leave the catching of criminals to the police and stay far away... Thats right, they even have weapons and perhaps aplices too... Hurry up and make a police report... The crowd continuously discussed this. Some of them had even started taking their phones out to call the police and report the incident. Im a police officer! The woman calm and beautiful little face looked exceptionally enchanting under the glow of the lights. She was a promising beauty! The crowd was astonished. This beautiful young woman was actually a police officer? It was not surprising then that she was so skillful to the point that the criminals could not harm her at all. The two criminals could not run quickly because there were too many people. They bumped against the crowd and fell and tried to run again and again before the woman caught up to them. She leaped and kicked both of the criminals in their backs. That unlucky Zhang Xiu was unable to get up this time. It looked like this woman was very skillful with her legs. The restless crowd was nearing Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuans location. Shao Yibai became more alert and upon hearing the crowd people yelling snatching children, has a dagger, and aplice among other things, he understood clearly in his heart what had happened. He saw the criminal in front holding a dagger and yelled to the crowd, Liu Dong, stop staring nkly. Come over and help me get rid of this girl! They apparently still had aplices. Another criminal who was probably Liu Dong charged out from the crowd. Both of them quickly surrounded the young policewoman and forced her into the middle. Yuan Xuans expression darkened as though he could not bear to watch this go on. He had just thought of moving before Shao Yibai turned to him and yelled, You protect the women while I take a look! Yuan Xuan nodded and reached his arms out to pull Mu Chenyan into his embrace. Shao Yibai had gone through challenging experiences in the army ever since he was 17 years old. He was previously also a seniormander in the special forces. Those two people were dead meat! (TN: RAW was cut off.) Chapter 206 - Hey, Arent You Going To At Least Say Thank You?

Chapter 206: Hey, Arent You Going To At Least Say Thank You?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wow! So this is the custom in Luo Hai? A few men ganging up against a woman? Hmm? Shao Yibai said with a smile on his face. However, it was a disingenuous smile with an intense murderous aura around him. The mans aura was extremely strong and it was obvious that he was professionally trained. His bodys muscles bulged at the right ces, meaning that he trained differently from those who trained in the gym. Zhao San and Liu Dongs imposing manner had died down. It was a very unlucky day for them. Firstly, a woman had ruined their n and secondly, a man with such a strong aura appeared to help her. Both of them looked at each other and made eye contact. They were nning to escape once they get a chance. They looked around their surroundings and noticed that they were not at a strategic location. There was a policewoman behind and a devil in front of them. They were in a very tough situation and the thought of putting up onest fight suddenly popped up in their mind. Aiming toward the policewomans direction, both of them lurched at her simultaneously, hoping to break out by force. The policewoman was stupefied seeing both of them dashing towards her at the same time. Before she could react, Shao Yibai suddenly came running, jumped high up and kicked Zhao San onto the ground. Making a dexterous flip, Shao Yibainded firmly on the ground with a beautiful posture. The entire process happened in less than a minute. He was utterly handsome, especially with hisnding action! The crowd cheered as they had only seen such swift movements in the movies. They felt fortunate to see it in person today and they were extremely excited! Seeing how things turned out, Liu Dong decided to fight his way out forcibly. He raised the dagger in his hand and rushed towards him, Lao Zi [TN: The original meaning is father, but it can also be used as a self-professed im by an arrogant person] will fight you to death! Shao Yibai was furious, Im usually the one who is known as Lao Zi. How dare a coward like you im to be a Lao Zi in front of me? Shao Yibai did a low sweep kick, causing Liu Dong to lose his bnce and fell onto his side. Grabbing him by his cor, Shao Yibai easily performed a front suplex. In less than half a minute, the two of them were about to pass out as theyid on the ground moaning in pain. Shao Yibai seemed like he was not done yet. He stepped on one of them on his chest with his leather shoe and scolded, You guys cant even take a little beating!! Next time, train well before making another move. I can easily beat you back into your mothers womb! There was an uproar in the crowd again and some girls even shouted, Wow~ A real-life Spider-Man! Superman! Its Superman... Keep quiet! That young man is mine! Even as a man, I find him very charming! ... Mu Chenyan, Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran were watching from not too far away. Even Yuan Tian was a little excited, Brother Bai is indeed very cool, and that beautifuldy is very brave too!! Yuan Rans heart was beating vigorously. She was bursting with joy seeing how handsome and manly Shao Yibai was. She grabbed Mu Chenyans hand tightly and cheered in a low voice, Brother Yi Bai!! My Brother Yi Bai! Mu Chenyan was hurting from being grabbed on the hand. She rolled her eyes and sighed towards Yuan Xuans direction, as though she was saying, Look at your two sisters! Yuan Xuans mood seemed to be quite good. He looked at Shao Yibai and smiled, It has been a long time since I saw him making such a move. His movement is still as dexterous. It seemed like he did not use his full strength against such lowly beings. I should challenge him someday when Im free! Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuans eagerness to fight and in her mind, she visualized the two extremely handsome men having a massive duel. That seemed to be very interesting... Meanwhile, the policemen who were in charge of maintaining the order at thentern show had arrived. In fact, slightly after 10 minutes when themotion started, somebody reported it to the security police and they rushed over to apprehend and handcuffed the two criminals. The brave and pretty policewoman picked Zhang Xiu up from the ground and handed her over to the police! With support from the crowd, the childs mother went to the police station to lodge a report. Noticing the kind-hearted woman slipping into the crowd without leaving behind a name, Shao Yibai shouted at her, Hey, arent you going to at least say thank you? Chapter 207 - She Gave Shao Yibai a Beautiful Front Suplex

Chapter 207: She Gave Shao Yibai a Beautiful Front Suplex

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The incident just now happened very urgently. Under such special circumstances, both of them did not get to look at each other properly. They only knew that someone else also stood up against injustice and they were both good fighters. After the incident was over, Shao Yibais voice caused the woman to raise her head and look at his face carefully. The moment their eyes met, the beautiful womans face turned pale. An odd look shed through her crystal bright eyes and her pinkish red lips trembled slightly. She tightly pressed her lips together in an attempt to cover up her anxiousness. Her next reaction was to turn around and run without any hesitation! As soon as her delicate little face disappeared in the crowd, Shao Yibai then only recognized who was the woman! Su Qingcheng? The moment that Shao Yibai shouted her name, the woman ran faster! It really is you! Shao Yibai had on a mixed surprise and odd expression on his face. He started chasing after her and even Yuan Xuan was shocked at how quick this whole thing happened. Mu Chenyan and the rest were dumbfounded as they did not know why did Shao Yibai chase after that woman. You better stand still! Youre still trying to run? Shao Yibai saw that the woman was already a distance apart from him, he was angry and irritated. This goddamn woman even lied to him and faked her own name in the past. After he fell in love with her, she left without looking back! Now that they met once again, she turned around and ran without even greeting him! He had looked for her everywhere all these years. Now that they met each other, she was still trying to run? How outrageous! Shao Yibai continued to chase after her with boiling anger in his chest. One of the reasons that he came to Luo Hai was to look for this woman. His subordinates noticed that this woman recently made changes to her personal records and left trails, giving him the chance to track her down. Goddammit! Shu Qingcheng, if I were to catch you, Ill f*ck you so hard that you cant get out of bed! Shao Yibai said ferociously and a hint of cruelness appeared on his beautiful face. The woman did not even run that quickly when she was chasing the criminals earlier. Probably because she really did not want to be caught by Shao Yibai, she held her skirt up and ran forward speedily. As she ran, she kept turning around to look as if she was afraid that Shao Yibai might catch up. Her fine, short hair was getting messy in the wind. The heroine who chased after the criminals just now had turned into the one who was being chased. It was very embarrassing to look at how terrified she was. Shao Yibai clenched his teeth and cursed, Shu Qingcheng, youre so done for when I catch you. Go ahead and run! Ill see how far can you run. Luo Hai and Country Z are just this big! I doubt that you can escape out of earth!! After Shu Qingcheng heard what he said, she covered her mouth and started crying while running... The man that frequently appeared in her dreams found her in the end! One by one, past memories appeared in her mind. After all, she could not get past all the emotional traps that he had set up for her. She had hidden for so many years and Luo Hai was so far away from the Capital City, she thought that he would never find her! Moreover, she did not use her actual name in the past. She never thought that life would go against everything that she wished. Despite how hard she had tried to hide, she had to meet him in a huge crowd under such circumstances! He did not change one bit, he was still as arrogant as he used to be! If she got caught this time, she would most likely never be able to escape ever again. That cannot happen. She must escape! Shu Qingcheng was getting emotional, so her speed naturally slowed down. Shao Yibai was getting closer to her and grabbed her right shoulder when he was able to do so. Almost at the same time, Shu Qingcheng felt the pressure on her shoulder and she arched her waist. With both of her hands, she pulled his arms using strength from her shoulder and waist. She made use of Shao Yibais forward inertia and his above 80 kilograms weight. By doing so, Shu Qingcheng gave the 189 centimeters tall, beautiful and muscr man a front suplex. Our handsome, young man was given a beautiful front suplex just like that... Chapter 208 - My Trip to Luo Hai Was Not Wasted

Chapter 208: My Trip to Luo Hai Was Not Wasted

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The incident happened too quickly and the passersby were stupefied. The Spider-man and policewoman who were working together against the criminals just now, why did they start a fight all of a sudden? The beautiful policewoman was truly very strong. That front suplex shocked the passersby from half a street away. Ouch! A few female passersby saw the scene and they can hardly maintain theirposures. They wished that they could rush towards Shao Yibai, helped him up andforted him nicely. That little beauty really did go overboard with that move. He was such a handsome young man with not only the looks and intelligence but also a defined muscr body. They dare not even think about touching him, how dare she gave him a front suplex? Shao Yibai was not ready for that just now. Moreover, he did not think that Shu Qingcheng would dare make such a move. Thus, he carelessly got caught in a surprise attack. Right down to the moment that he was thrown onto the ground, he still could not believe that this woman actually made a move! Yuan Xuan ran towards them and saw the dumbfounded look on Shao Yibais face. He deliberately asked in a low voice, What is happening? What kind of technique are you practicing? Shao Yibai saw the gloating look on Yuan Xuans face. He put up with the pain, flipped up and cursed in a low voice, Shu Qingcheng, Lao Zi... He turned and looked around. Where did the woman go? She must have escaped again without leaving a trace when he was in an awkward position. Shao Yibais entire body ached from the throw, but it could not evenpare to the pain in his heart. After a few years of not seeing each other, this was her gift to him on their first meeting? If he was known to be a heartless person, this woman was probably worst than him. This is the woman who wasted three to four years of your life? Yuan Xuan tried to maintain a decent image, but he could hardly hide the gloating look on his face, It seems like shes a very bold and resolute person. She must be a tough one to tame, right? Shao Yibai grunted, When a woman is disobedient, it must be due to theck of ravaging. So, all you need to do is ravage her until shes tamed! The next time I see her, lets see if she still has the energy to run!! Yuan Xuan heard what Shao Yibai said and he suddenly looked at Mu Chenyan with his calm gaze... Brother Yibai, are you okay? Yuan Ran saw Shao Yibai being thrown onto the ground by that woman and she was shocked and had just recovered from it. She ran over and held Shao Yibais hand. Then, sheined in a low voice, Why did you meet a crazy woman? Why did she start a fight all of a sudden? Shao Yibais mind was somewhere else entirely. He calmly pulled his arms away from Yuan Rans hands, turned around and said to Yuan Xuan, Lets go! It seems like my trip to Luo Hai was not wasted. I wont be leaving anytime soon! Yuan Xuan revealed a meaningful smile towards the direction where Shu Qingcheng escaped. He sighed in his heart when he saw the ruthless smile on Shao Yibais face. Initially, he was never going to get involved in or give opinions on what happened between Shao Yibai and Yuan Ran. However, the Old Mistress secretly found out that there was something wrong between him and Yuan Tangzhong. Therefore, she wanted to make use of Yuan Ran to strengthen their rtionship with the Shao Family. Nheless, her n will most probably not seed. The five of them returned to the mansion. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian noted clearly that Shao Yibai was not in his right mind after Shu Qingcheng escaped. This neither angelic or evil sessor of the Shao Family rarely showed a hint of seriousness. On their way back, he stopped telling jokes to her and Yuan Tian. His attitude towards Yuan Ran was neither hot or cold. He remained silent for the entire ride. They both did not know who the woman was and Mu Chenyan was not in the right position to ask. Once they got into the car, Yuan Tian could not care less and she pestered Yuan Xuan for the whole story. Who is that woman? Is that Brother Yibais dream lover or the descendant of his arch enemy? Perhaps, that woman is his long lost sister? Yuan Xuan smiled when he looked at Yuan Tian through the back mirror, If you would stop filling your tiny little brain with all these bizarre thoughts, maybe the Yuan Family could save a little more money! Mu Chenyan was taken by surprise and she was amused. She did not think that Yuan Xuan would make a joke. Usually, he always treated Yuan Tian fiercely like a strict father. However, he looked like a loving brother now! Chapter 209 - It’s Not That I Don’t Trust You, I’m Just Worried Translator:

Chapter 209: Its Not That I Dont Trust You, Im Just Worried

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian was munching on the snacks that she bought from thentern show and she choked on it after hearing what her brother said. After a long time, she then only realized that her brother was mocking her about how no one would marry her. Hmmp! What kind of brother are you? Its none of your business even if I spend a few more years eating the Yuan Familys rice! Mu Chenyan could no longer hold back herughter after seeing the dejected look on Yuan Tians face. Then, Yuan Tian suddenly changed her target and aimed at Mu Chenyan, Brother Xuan actually made a joke? It seems like your influence is quite strong! Yuan Xuan looked at Mu Chenyan from the back mirror and saw the indifferent look on her face. It seemed like she did not agree with the fact that Yuan Tian linked her together with Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan frowned slightly. It looked like this woman would not be forgiving him anytime soon! Getting to know each other was easy but staying together was tough. Recalling how Shao Yibai lost the opportunity to be with that woman after not seeing each other for a few years, he was moved deeply. He could no longer wait for his woman to take the initiative to break the silence! When they returned to the mansion, Yuan Tian saw Yuan Ran standing by the car in front of the gates. It appeared that she was having a conversation with Shao Yibai. Yuan Ran seemed a little anxious, but she dared not ruin herdylike image. The change in Shao Yibais attitude was too obvious. Even a fool could tell that it was rted to the woman at thentern show. Yuan Xuan looked at Shao Yibai, smiled lightly and drove past them without stopping. ... They arrived in Hibiscus Garden and right when Mu Chenyan wanted to go to the second floor to take a shower, Yuan Xuan quickly caught up with the woman who constantly gave him a cold face. He said in a low voice, Mrs. Yuan, I think we should talk! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes andined angrily, What is there to talk about? Third Young Master Yuan smiled briefly, This is not the ce for talking! Then, he dominantly carried the woman who avoided him deliberately by the waist and muffled, Shao Yibai is right, if a woman is disobedient, it must be due to theck of ravaging! Thus, I think we should have a talk in bed! Mu Chenyan, ... ... It was on the third day after thentern show that Mu Chenyan received Wu Zes phone call. Chenyan, I have good news... Before Wu Zes couldplete the sentence with his beautiful voice, Mu Chenyan could already sense the happiness in his voice. I can go to work already? Mu Chenyans heart was filled with joy! Ever since the day after thentern show, she had bedroom talks with Yuan Xuan for three days already. She hated this ce and wanted to leave to ease her mind. Yes, you can go to work, but... Wu Ze paused as though he had some hesitation. But what? Mu Chenyan asked eagerly, worried that there would be some changes. There is an issue on my brothers side. If he loses his temper when you get there, please bear with it. I apologize in advance on his behalf! Mu Chenyanughed after hearing Wu Zes honest words, Big Brother Wu, youre over-thinking. Im not that fragile and Im the one who volunteered this time. I wont make a sound even if Brother Wu Huai make things difficult for me. Dont worry! Wu Zeughed out loud and said, Its not that I dont trust you, Im just worried... Mu Chenyan, ... Wu Ze knew that he had said too much, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, You and Yuan Xuan did not argue recently, right? Mu Chenyan hesitated for a moment and remained silent. Wu Ze sighed and continued, Yuan Xuan actually cares about you very much in his heart! Mu Chenyan said in a low and soft voice, Big Brother Wu, you dont have to say good words for him. You did very well as a friend already! The issue between Yuan Xuan and I cant be resolved with just a few words. Moreover, I also understood some details from the case in the past. Either way, I need to thank you! Wu Ze was stunned. If they were not on the phone, he would probably be too ashamed to even show his face! He knew the secret behind the case but he stood by Yuan Xuans side and deceived this poor woman... Chapter 210 - Could She Be Young Master Wu’s Secret Mistress?

Chapter 210: Could She Be Young Master Wus Secret Mistress?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the next day, Mu Chenyan reported to the news office legal control channel early in the morning. Since Wu Ze had informed the chief editor beforehand, he was very polite to Mu Chenyan. Little Mu? You can go to the human resources department and logistics to collect the things that you need for your work. Then, you can officially start your duty in the afternoon. Chief Editor Liu looked at Mu Chenyans low-profile outfit and a light smile appeared in his eyes. She was as calm as the sea and she had an outstanding temperament. Thus, he was a little puzzled in his heart. What was the rtionship between this young girl and Young Master Wu? She was a very attractive beauty. Could she be Young Master Wus secret mistress? The outsiders had always been very interested in talking about the two sessors of the Wu Family from Luo Hai, especially Wu Ze. He was known as a talentedwyer in the legal industry and also a genial person. Throughout all these years, he never had any scandals and no one had seen him with any women other than his secretary. The woman in front of him now was worthy enough for Young Master Wu to go to the city personally and settled the dispute for her in the police station. Then, he made arrangements for her to work here. She must have aplex rtionship with Young Master Wu. However, Chief Editor Liu felt that something was wrong when he thought about it. If Mu Chenyan was really Young Master Wus secret mistress, why would she work as a reporter? Why would she do such a tough job with her status and social standing? Mu Chenyan did not know that the chief editors brain was filled with all these gossip questions, all she did was to stay humble and respectful. Then, she went to the logistics department and collected her employee identity card, rted documents, as well as daily necessities. There was another young man who was assigned to work together with her in the major crimes department. The moment she entered the office, the young man went to her enthusiastically and introduced himself. Hi, Im Zhang Xin, wee! We will be working together at the major crimes department. This young man seemed extraordinarily excited. When he was introducing himself, he was smiling non-stop and Mu Chenyan was momentarily stunned. Hi, Im Mu Chenyan. Ill be in your care from now on, senior! This was indeed the first time Mu Chenyan worked ever since she graduated. She was thetest recruit in the news industry! Zhang Xin saw how Mu Chenyan was not only pretty, her voice was very pleasant to the ears too. Moreover, she spoke in a humble manner and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. Therefore, his heart could not help but pounded slightly. Early that morning, Sister Fang from the human resources department told Zhang Xin that he had gotten a good job and he might be lucky romantically. When he got to the office, he heard his colleagues talking about how the neer was a remarkable beauty. Zhang Xin just turned 26 this year and just broke up with his girlfriend. Once his colleagues saw him, they joked, Zhang Xin, youre having luck in love! Liu Yan broke up with you and God gave you a fairy from heaven! Zhang Xin had doubts and assumed that they were only speaking modestly. Previously, everyone made excuses and did not want to go to the major crimes department to work with an outsider. After all, the major crimes department was not the ce that they were familiar with. Moreover, they heard that Captain Wu of the major crimes department had a very bad temper. Thus, how could itpare to thefort of their own department? Zhang Xin was young and inexperienced. Since his seniors were not willing to transfer over, he was forced to take the job. Initially, he wasining a little in his heart. However, when he saw Mu Chenyan, all theints turned into gratefulness to the heavens... In the afternoon, Mu Chenyan reported at the major crimes department along with Zhang Xin. Before they left, the other colleagues did not forget to tease Zhang Xin, You little boy, you got a blessing out of a misfortune! If we wouldve known earlier, we would apply for this job too! There were more men than women in the legal control channel. Every time a woman from the coborating unit visited, their eyes would shine brightly. Besides, their new colleague was an outstanding beauty this time. Everyone was burning with jealousy when they saw the smug look on Zhang Xins face. Nevertheless, it was indeed rare for a woman like Mu Chenyan to join this industry. Even if they were to work in the news industry, most women would avoid being a reporter. Zhang Xin thought in his heart that God must have pitied him to send him a River Snail Maiden [TN: This is an old fairy tale in China about a story of a kind-hearted and hardworking who found and brought home a snail one day and took care of it. To repay its gratitude, the snail secretly turned into a beautifuldy and made dinner for the fisherman every day. He eventually found out and both of them got married.] Chapter 211 - Miss Su?

Chapter 211: Miss Su?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan did not dare to arrive in any of those luxurious cars from the Yuan Family. She had taken the bus and the subway early in the morning. Mu Chenyan had on her a pair of newly bought white shoes and jeans, revealing the outline of her long legs. Coupled with the slim fit ck low-cor sweater she was wearing, her outfit was modest. In the morning when Yuan Xuan woke up, she was writhing her slender waist left and right. As Yuan Xuan watched her changed into a light and casual attire, he was stunned. The usual elegant dresses on her had indeed overshadowed the natural beauty of this woman. Having worn an extremely ordinary piece of clothing, this woman looked even more gorgeous now. While Yuan Xuan felt amazed, she was like a fairy who had descended onto earth in Zhang Xins eyes. He strongly believed that luck was on his side, and it was unstoppable! In this trip to the major crimes department, they had to bring over some files and items. Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin used the departments official car and moved all their personal belongings to the police station. Zhang Xin appeared to be very solicitous. He would do everything that required effort, and there basically was nothing for Mu Chenyan to do. Seeing that Zhang Xin was exhausted and sweating all over, and he even wanted to be the driver, she felt a little apologetic. She went and bought two bottles of water; one for herself, while the other was given to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin was overwhelmed by the favor and was happy and giddy during the entire journey. Zhang Xin and Mu Chenyan enquired of the location to report for duty and found out that the recently cleared up cubicles upstairs were to be their temporary office. When there was a case, they could tag along and report; when there were no cases, they could write articles in this office or head back to the news office legal channel. Zhang Xin looked at the small-spaced office and grumbled, Could this have been the storeroom before this? Every year the major crimes department receives much favor from the taxpayers, how could they be this stingy? Look at the wallpaper. Theyre alling off... While speaking, Zhang Xin took a cloth to wipe the table. There was still a disdainful expression at the corner of his lips. Mu Chenyan was rather satisfied with the office environment, however. This is quite good. Its quiet here, and writing articles needs such an environment. Hearing that, Zhang Xin turned his thoughts around. Since it was just the two them here, and they could have face-to-face contact every day, this was surely a good ce to promote their friendly rtionship. His mood improved vastly, and he even hummed a little song while wiping the tables. Mu Chenyan went out of the office and asked around for the location of the team leaders office. She wanted to exchange some pleasantries with Wu Huai. The moment she reached the entrance to the administrative department, she saw the unexpected figure of a woman! Today, she had changed into a refreshing ck sports attire and was wearing a pair of ck and white sports shoes. Her fine short hair was fluffy and cool-looking, and she seemed to be waiting for someone. Miss Su? Mu Chenyan blurted out, and the woman at the door turned around. Her pretty face was somewhat striking. This woman was Su Qingcheng! Su Qingcheng was a little surprised, her eyes dazzling. She asked in a low voice, Miss, do you know me? She was certain that she did not know Mu Chenyan, but upon seeing such a beauty, even the cold-shouldered Su Qingcheng would lower her guard. Id witnessed Miss Sus act of bravery at thentern show a few days back. Mu Chenyan exined truthfully. Upon the mentioning of thentern show, Su Qingchengs expression immediately changed. She coldly sized up Mu Chenyan. You are... Im a friend of Shao Yibais. Mu Chenyan knew that only Shao Yibai had called out her name at that time, hence it was impossible to say that she did not know Shao Yibai. Su Qingcheng became alert, and her body froze. A sense of precaution shed through her pretty eyes. She kept mum as she watched Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly, Dont worry, Miss Su. I wont tell Shao Yibai that I saw you here. Chapter 212 - Mu Chenyan Felt That Su Qingcheng Was Someone with a Story to Tell

Chapter 212: Mu Chenyan Felt That Su Qingcheng Was Someone with a Story to Tell

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Without knowing why, Mu Chenyan felt that Su Qingcheng was someone with a story to tell. Coupled with her act of constantly avoiding Shao Yibai, there must be a reason behind it. People like Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai had an inherent oppressive aura on them. If Su Qingcheng had her own predicament and was unwilling to be with Shao Yibai, it was understandable. After all, everyone had a right to choose their own way of living. Hearing Mu Chenyans promise and seeing this womans clear gaze, the sincere tone made Su Qingcheng smiled lightly. Sadness was seen at the corner of her eyes as she said quietly, Being discovered by Su Qingcheng is only a matter of time. Who can stop him for what he wants to do? Mu Chenyan agreed in her heart, but she did not say it out loud. It even urred to her that if she were to leave Yuan Xuan in the future and stay at a foreign ce, she probably would not want to meet anyone who was rted to Yuan Xuan too... How do I address you, miss? Su Qingcheng turned aside the topic and asked all of a sudden. Her gaze was dim, revealing the courteous alienation she had toward others. Mu Chenyan. Mu, from the word bath. (TN: the Chinese word for take a bath is ԡ, mu yu) The fragrant of incense rises by the jade window screen; the sound of chess pieces awakens the night. (TN: part of a poem written by the Chinese poet, Su Shi, during the Song dynasty. The word Chen and Yan in Mu Chenyans name was referred to the incense and the smoke of the incense in the poem respectively.) Su Qingcheng gave Mu Chenyan a friendly smile as if she had forgotten that she was a friend of Shao Yibais, and she disyed a rare affinity, pointing out the origin of Mu Chenyans name. My mother randomly gave me the name. However, she truly is a literary and artistic woman. Mu Chenyan also had a favorable impression toward Su Qingcheng. She felt that this person was just like her name, a woman who was exceptionally beautiful and exuding an air that caused people to sympathize her. What brought you here, Miss Su? Mu Chenyan looked at the direction of the corridor. Here were the offices of the leaders from the major crimes department. She could not figure out the reason for Su Qingchengs appearance at this ce. Could it be that she was really a police? Back then, Mu Chenyan had thought that she was only saying that to frighten those viins who were kidnapping the child. Su Qingcheng looked at the half-opened door to the chief of the human resources departments office and said in a low voice, Im the new police whos here to report to the major crimes department. Mu Chenyan was surprised. It turned out that Su Qingcheng was indeed a police, and she had managed to enter the major crimes department. Respect arose from within her. Suddenly, there was somemotion in Chief Wangs office. Wu Huai lost his temper in the office. Chief Wang, in my opinion, we should change the name of the major crimes department to the embroidery group! When the higher-ups made these arrangements, they dont even look at the reality. Our task is to crack major and important cases, not to be highly embellished and ineffectual! Chief Wang knew Wu Huai very well, what more when the Wu Family had personal rtions with himself. Seeing that Wu Huai was criticizing the higher-ups arrangement in front of him without giving any face, he too, felt frustrated, but he still had to quell his temper andforted, Little Wu, the people who were sent to you this time had been carefully selected. Even if youre not satisfied, you should at least give them a chance first. You cant negate everything based on your assumption, can you? Wu Huai could not hold it in any longer. He jumped out of the couch and snorted. Carefully selected? Lin Xiao has retired and Zhou Tao is on leave, so theres ack of manpower. I applied for more members and in the end, they gave me three people, one of whom is a technical evaluation graduate. Yes, we solve crimes, but a technical evaluator should be assigned to the forensic department, alright? Moreover, theres a little girl here. Since when did out major crime department had little girls? What do we need them for? To wash clothes or to make tea? Wu Huai sure was famous for his bad temper and gender discrimination. Mu Chenyan presumed that the little girl that Wu Huai said should be Su Qingcheng. Little Wu, dont look down on that little girl. You should know that the main character in the TV series The VI Group of Fatal Case (TN: a police and viin themed drama in maind China.) was a female captain, alright? Chief Wang still had the mood to make a joke, but Wu Huai did not go along with it. He opened the file for Chief Wang to read and said, Look at this little girls looks, even her names Su Qingcheng (TN: Qingcheng () refers to a gorgeous woman who could enchant the entire city with her looks). Apart froming here to bewitch those younger generations, I wonder what else this girl can do. Chapter 213 - Gender Discrimination Had Advanced to a Personal Attack

Chapter 213: Gender Discrimination Had Advanced to a Personal Attack

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Gender discrimination had advanced to a personal attack! Mu Chenyan did not expect Wu Huai to be such a person. Wu Ze had only said that Wu Huais temper was bad, but he did not mention that he was also a male chauvinist. A sunshine boy like Wu Ze would have such an extreme chauvinistic and hostile elder brother? No wonder Wu Ze was worried and had wanted to put aside his work toe with her. Without having met him in person, Mu Chenyan already had a bad feeling toward him. Su Qingcheng heard everything loud and clear by the door. Her fists tightened slightly, and her fair face flushed red. Mu Chenyan felt that if she were Su Qingcheng, she would also have the thoughts of going ballistic. Chief Wang calmed Wu Huai with a few more words before finally taking up his authority as a leader and gave the final verdict. This Little Su, you have to ept her whether you like it or not. In any case, this is Bureau Chief Lees arrangement. You can look for him if you refuse toply. Dont rage here. However, Id like to remind you that its better to not go look for Bureau Chief Lee. Cracking the few big cases at hand is the priority. Even the news office has sent someone over to keep track and report... If you dont bring this up, I wont be that mad! Hearing about the news office, WuHuais loud voice boomed again, If it wasnt for Wu Ze that fellow meddling in between, how could two news reporters be forcefully stuffed into here? Isnt this a joke? Cracking cases isnt a childs y. There are many parts that are confidential. How can the case be cracked if there are a few reporters tagging along? Mu Chenyan heard that and knew that the fire had spread to her... Little Wu, they are just here to cover the story from the side. Of course, they wonte into contact with the confidential parts. You cant condemn the reporters too, otherwise... Alright, Chief Wang. Im not that dumb-headed. Those two reporters are already here. Ill find some work and dispatch them. While speaking, Wu Huai suddenly pushed open the door. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng stood at the corridor with their morous charm, their brows slightly knitted together as they watched the sudden emergence of the short-tempered man... Awkward! ... In front of the major crimes department captains office table. Captain Wu, officer Su Qingcheng reporting for duty! Su Qingcheng kept her cool with a straight face and maintained an excellent bearing in front of Wu Huai. There was not the embarrassment from overhearing Wu Huais remarks toward her. On the contrary, Wu Huai, who had been degrading behind peoples back, was somewhat uneasy. As if to cover up his awkwardness, he said in a low voice, You are well aware that neers arent allowed to be involved in the important cases. Moreover, youre a girl, and its dangerous for you to go out into the field. I think you can just stay in the office, help everyone with the paperwork and serve some tea. Captain Wu, I graduated from the police academy at the age of 24. Before entering the academy, I was a special force in the Capital Citys *** army (TN: the author did not reveal it) and had participated in field training. Ive achieved second-ss merit during my time in the academy, and Im a ninth-degree ck belt in Taekwando... Su Qingcheng spoke with a vibrant and forceful voice. Even Mu Chenyan was stunned. It was unperceivable that this delicate woman had experienced such a great deal! Field training? Huh! Those who were ostentatious in the troop would have no use in cracking cases in reality. I dont think the two of you could even deal with a pervert! Mockery was seen on Wu Huais handsome face. His swept his gaze at Mu Chenyan, but before waiting for him to make any personal attack at her, Mu Chenyan said right away, I graduated from the University of Londons Goldsmiths School of Journalism. During my time in uni, I worked as a volunteer and intern reporter at the BBC in the UK. In the year before I graduated, I entered the Middle East with my ssmates and became a war correspondent... She had not mentioned this to Yuan Xuan before. She went deep into the war zone for a month and evaded ISIS in the midst of artillery fire. If this was known by Yuan Xuan, he would kill her! Chapter 214 - He’s Afraid the Two of Us Would Stir up Trouble

Chapter 214: Hes Afraid the Two of Us Would Stir up Trouble

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai was in his early thirties. There was a slight simrity between his and Wu Zes looks, but they had different encounters and different life experiences, hence their temperament was naturally dissimr. Wu Ze had a little more of resoluteness on him and less of that refined and schrly air Wu Ze had. Being confronted by these two little girls one after another, Wu Huais chilly face went even darker. He leaned back into the back of the chair and mmed Su Qingchengs file on the table. Alright then. Since you twodies are that terrific, you can start with catching perverts. On the subway Line 1 running from East City to West City, we have received many reports that there were perverts going around. I think the major crimes department could transfer two people there to support our colleagues department. As Wu Huai spoke, his dark and cold eyes sized up Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng, convinced that these two little girls would not ept this task. Though Su Qingcheng had said that she had undergone special training, she was still a female soldier after all. What difference could there be? This kind of woman who was like a vase for disy, apart from being harassed, she would be incapable to fight back at the perverts. Wu Huai only wanted them to be aware of the overwhelming odds against them and to choose to retreat so that his major crimes department could regain its peace. If you cant even catch a pervert, then youll do as I say; make tea, clean up, wipe the tables, and perform the misceneous tasks in the team. The task of going out to cover stories would be assigned to others then! Wu Huai finally divulged his purpose. This all-powerful captain of the police force was still looking down on female colleagues from the bottom of his heart. How outrageous! Its up to you. Do you dare to ept this assignment? Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng exchanged nces and replied in unison, Yes! Both of them tacitly chuckled. Wu Huai snorted. He did not expect these two little girls to have such guts, and he seemed to be waiting to watch a good show. Ill wait for your good news! After saying that, he waved his hand and informed Mu Chenyan, If Wu Ze that fellow knows, he wille looking for me and cause amotion. At that time, youll have to admit that it was yourself who volunteered. Im really terrified of him. Hell bring up Grandfather once he makes a scene! Grandfathers most afraid of his Ze Ze being unhappy. His good Ze Ze... Wu Huai deliberately imitated his grandfathers tone, causing Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng to almostugh out loud. This man who looked rough and unruly seemed to be picking on his grandfathers favoritism. Wu Huai realized that he had lost his manners and quickly regained hisposure, covering it up by taking a few sips of water. Mu Chenyan looked at Wu Huais handsome, cool, and determined face, and she felt amused. Although this man was chauvinistic and had the detestable attitude of not respecting females, yet he seemed adorable at this time. Rest assured, Big Brother Wu, Wu Ze wont find out. Mu Chenyan promised and looked at Su Qingcheng. The two of them then exited Wu Huais office. Miss Mu, I shouldnt have involved you in this matter. Su Qingcheng said in an apologetic tone. No such thing. I came in with the help of Captain Wus cousin brother pulling some strings. He doesnt like people interfering with what he does and shuns reporter. Youre not to be med in this matter. A warm smile emerged on Su Qingchengs delicate and pretty face, and she said inly, I was also introduced by a friend and stuffed in here. So its two vases who hade in through the back door? The two said in unison again. They broke out inughter for a while. Both women, who were already iparably gorgeous in the first ce, were at this moment full of life. In the major crimes department that was filled with a negative air, it suddenly felt like this was back to earth. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng went to their own office and took their seats. Mu Chenyan handed a cup of water to Su Qingcheng and remarked. No wonder Captain Wu was flustered and exasperated. Having two little girls stuffed in here in one go, hes afraid the two of us would stir up trouble. Chapter 215 - The West Hill Wealthy Suburb Was Indeed Quite Remote

Chapter 215: The West Hill Wealthy Suburb Was Indeed Quite Remote

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng pursed her lips and smiled. It was as if she could not open up while chatting with others. Mu Chenyan felt that Su Qingcheng was probably a cold person, or that she was deliberately concealing her true nature by being indifferent to others. Miss Su... You can just call me Qingcheng, and Ill call you Chenyan. Mu Chenyan was stunned for a moment before smiling faintly and replied, Alright, Qingcheng, lets get into action tomorrow. Ill wait for you at Line 1 station near the museum. Su Qingcheng still felt a little uneasy, and she said, How about I go there by myself to catch a few perverts and report back? Its better if you dont go, in case you encounter any danger... If theres a danger, I know youll protect me. Mu Chenyan smiled and convinced Su Qingcheng, You might not seed if you go on your own. Even though youre also a pretty sister, your looks are overly righteous. One look at you, and its obvious that you practice martial arts. Those borers would only watch from afar and dare not approach you, so why dont I be the bait instead? Speaking of which, it was not known if this was considered as entrapment, but Mu Chenyan looked at Su Qingcheng with gleaming eyes after she had finished. Qingcheng hesitated still. If theres a danger, do you have a boyfriend? Will he mind? Mu Chenyan thought to herself, the boyfriend she was talking about should be Yuan Xuan. She pondered in her heart if Yuan Xuan were to find out that his Mrs Yuan was going to entrap a pervert, he would be concerned for sure, so how could she let him know? Mu Chenyan said determinedly, With you protecting me, I dont think Ill be harmed. Seeing that Mu Chenyan was still persisting, after some thoughts, Su Qingcheng felt that protecting a grown woman with her skills should not be a problem. Moreover, what Mu Chenyan had said made sense. Standing aside at the subway, she would look just like a Rakshasa and the perverts would have fled right in the beginning. How would she catch them then? Alright then. Tomorrow well do as you say, but well have to dimode you, Chenyan. As Su Qingcheng spoke, she unlocked her phone, and the two exchanged contacts. ... It was time to get off work. Zhang Xin saw Mu Chenyans enchanting figure, which seemed out of ce standing near the bus stop. Such a woman should be cherished dearly. How could one allow her to take the bus? He nced around and saw no one he recognized, so he stopped his car by the road and ran over to ask, Chenyan, how about I give you a ride back? Mu Chenyan looked up and saw the young mans ruddy face that was filled with a little anticipation and a little shyness. She did not know whether tough or to cry. She thought about those luxurious cars in the Yuan Family and decided that she should get a low-key car as soon as possible to avoid giving others the opportunity to offer her a ride... Mu Chenyan kept her manners, and she smiled lightly. Two shallow dimples appeared on her fair face, and her voice was pleasant to the ears. Senior, Ill just take the subway. The ce where I live is rather remote. Mmm, the West Hill wealthy suburb is indeed quite remote. Zhang Xin was not convinced. He pointed to his car by the road and smilingly said, Youve forgotten that were driving a government vehicle. The government will reimburse us no matter the distance. Its your first day at work, so this can be considered as a small benefit given to you by the unit? Mu Chenyan did not want others to know about her rtionship with the Yuan Family, otherwise, there would be obstacles in getting along with her colleagues. She smiled faintly and expressed her gratitude to Zhang Xin. Its not that simple to ept this benefit. This morning I took the subway, and it was quicker than driving here. Its the evening peak hour now, so the road will be jam-packed. Senior better leave early. Tomorrow I have an assignment and might not being into the office. Could you help amend the beginning of the topic that Ive done today? Thanks! When Zhang Xin realized he had no chance, he did not persist but moodily bid farewell to Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan continued to wait for her ride at the bus stop. A ck Maybach sneaked up to her nearby, and a handsome man in a dark suit in the back seat was fixing his scorching gaze on that slender figure... Chapter 216 - Little Mistress Was Not Someone an Ordinary Person Could Covet Chapter 216: Little Mistress Was Not Someone an Ordinary Person Could Covet Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun also watched that young man struck up a conversation with Mistress, and he cried out in his heart. Little Mistresss dazzling mor was an extreme lethal charm to men. Moreover, Little Mistress was born in a prestigious household. Being among this pile ofmoners, she would naturally stand out. Any man, under the condition that they were not blind, would be able to perceive her beauty, hence being approached made perfect sense! That person should be just Mistress colleague? That young mans gaze was overly passionate, and he was solicitous. Any man could see that it was the sense of male hunting. Yan Juns words were just redundant. Yuan Xuans gaze was clear, his dark cold eyes gleaming with a chill as he looked at Yan Jun and remarked in a deep voice, Is there a need for you to bber? Yan Jun chuckled sheepishly and dared not speak anymore, but he chided that man who had acted recklessly in his heart. Was Little Mistress someone an ordinary person could covet? It so happened that his boss was someone extremely possessive. He lived a clean life, had zero scandals, and whatever entertainment world, fashion world, and web celebrity world could not even deal with Yuan Xuan. His germophobia was this extreme and naturally, the requirements for his wife would be high as well. He had initially came happily to take Mistress home, but he did not expect to witness such a scene. Yuan Xuan stopped in his tracks, and on his face that was without emotion, there was now a trace of gloom. Yan Jun felt the oppressive auraing from his boss in the back seat, so he secretly sighed and said, Third Young Master, do we still go and call Mistress? The bus is reaching soon. Yuan Xuan gave a depressing snort. At first, he had wanted to get down and carry that woman on his shoulders into the car. However, after having calmed down for a few minutes, he quelled the jealousy in his heart. He watched that slender figure at the bus stop, who seemed feeble and delicate, and his heart softened. The man waved hisrge hand, Go and call her over. Yan Jun obeyed the order andpliantly went over. When the woman at the bus stop saw him popping out of nowhere, she jumped out of her skin. The woman looked in the direction of Yuan Xuans car with surprise. He was not the one driving, so it was not the symbolic Koenigsegg sports car. She had also seen that Maybach before, but the car te was not a familiar one. Howe he has time toe here? Mu Chenyan recalled that Yuan Xuans grouppany was rather far from the police station. Could this man have personallye over to pick her up from work? Young Master was indeed busy, but as this was your first day at work, he couldnt bear to have you travel on the packed subway. Hence, right after his afternoon meeting ended, he pushed back his schedule and came here to pick you up. Yan Jun spoke the truth. A few of the political leaders had arranged for a dinner with Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Xuan had his secretary pushed it back and hurriedly called him to drove him here. Mu Chenyans blushed a little, and she feltplicated. After thest argument, the two of them had not really talked to another. The only exception was that after Yuan Xuan returned from thentern show, he had been pressing on her and had physicalmunication with her... The woman bit her lips and hated in her heart. She had nned to leave home early in the morning and go back at night so as to avoid the awkwardness ofing face to face with him. However, he so happened toe here and this made her feel embarrassed. Having decided to not be bothered about him, Mu Chenyan said nothing after getting into the car. Come to think of it, apart from him forcefully wanting her at night and causing her to utter those bashful sounds, she had really kept silent for a long time in front of Yuan Xuan. The man looked at her fair face, and between her brows were signs of forbearance. Her tightly pressed lips clearly meant that she was refusing to make contact with him. His emotions surged within him, and he wrapped his arm around her waist. The woman tensed up and turned her head aside, averting her gaze to not meet his. If I didnte to pick you up, do you intend to take the bus and subway back to West Hill? Chapter 217 - Yuan Xuan Lifted Her Chin, Forcing Her to Meet His Eyes Chapter 217: Yuan Xuan Lifted Her Chin, Forcing Her to Meet His Eyes Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun heard Young Masters tone, and it seemed like he did not concern himself with the fact that someone had flirted with Little Mistress. He let out a sigh of relief. It was better to just focus on the road while driving. So long as the boss did not lose his temper, and Little Mistress did not throw a tantrum, everything would be fine. Mu Chenyan struggled in the mans arms. She nced at Yan Jun from the corner of her eyes and turned to this domineering man. The expression on his face was of one exceedingly self-righteous, and his gaze was cold and gloomy. The woman knew that if she were to not give him face, throw a tantrum and have a fit at the outside, this man would swallow her up on the spot, so she could only give up struggling. You and I have studied abroad in Ennd ande across many of the prestigious people in Ennd. Although they were nobles, they too, lived their lives like themon people. Theyd take the bus or subway when they go out, and theyd carry the basket at the supermarket. Thats why I was thinking that its not a bad idea to take the bus too. Its environmentally friendly, and there are designated lines. The speed is rather quick too, so why not? When Yuan Xuan saw that she was finally willing to speak, the strength exerted from his wrist weakened a little. Thinking back to a few days ago, apart from her uttering sounds when he was making love with her, she would put on an aloof, calm, and quiet bearing at all other times. Compared to this moment, being able to have her say a few words was already an improvement. Its not that you cant, but Im concerned about you. Yuan Xuans sexy Adams apple quivered lightly, and the tone of his words was maic. The distance from here to the old mansion is too far. Besides taking the bus, you have to ride on the subway. After that, you have to walk up a short slope. Are you able to do it? That was the actual fact. Although West Hill was a wealthy suburb, the subway only stopped at a supermarket that was two kilometers away. From there to the old mansion, Mu Chenyan had to go for bike sharing... Its not that Im deliberately throwing a tantrum, but as I just started work, I dont want my colleagues to see me driving those fancy cars at home... Mu Chenyan slowed down her words. She had wanted to suggest getting a new car, but once it urred to her that this was equivalent to asking Yuan Xuan for stuff, she was unable to bring it up. Yuan Xuan understood that she wanted to keep a low profile. Otherwise, she would not have bought all themon branded clothes to rece her previous elegant clothes just for work. Then Ill buy an ordinary car for you. Whichever brand and model you like, Ill have Yan Jun look into it the first thing tomorrow. Yuan Xuan noticed her hesitation and directly made a suggestion. Mu Chenyan was stunned, after which she dropped her brows and chuckled bitterly. She did not have any savings and ie previously. As a weak woman, everything would be managed by him while she could only be grateful about it. Then, Ill thank Mr Yuan! Just choose ording to your liking. The car and I are your private property anyway. Mu Chenyans attitude was lukewarm. The slight mockery in her tone could not have gone unnoticed by Yuan Xuan. This woman was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. She might appear to be good and obedient but in reality, she was rebellious deep within. Those rash and rampant thoughts were probably like the lush greenery and were concealed in her heart. Yuan Xuan lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuans intense gaze, and she could not help but press her lips. She saw her flustered self reflected in Yuan Xuans dark pupils, and her face blushed. Seeing her shy look, Yuan Xuan suddenly exerted force in his arms, grabbed her at the underarms, and lifted her onto hisp. Just like that, Mu Chenyan was straddled on hisp. The two faced each other, their breathes intertwined as they looked into each others eyes. This act was overly flirtatious. Mu Chenyan was startled and she objected continuously, Yuan Xuan, let... let go of your hands... Mu Chenyans protest did not elicit any response. The man began to enjoy her shyness and difiture instead. He ced one hand at Mu Chenyans back so that she could not move away from him, while his other hand mped her hands down behind her back. He greedily breathed in her body scent, his gaze gluttonous and dangerous. Yan Jun was driving in the front seat. When Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuans growing desire, her body froze. A thought began to breed in her this damned man was deliberately causing her to feel embarrassed! Mu Chenyans eyes were misty. She bit her lips, and anger could be seen on her face. What are you going crazy for? Were in the car... Yuan Xuan lightly snorted, and the beam between his brows increased. Even in the car, its in my private car. Even if Im being like this, its toward my own Mistress. Im not harassing other peoples Mistress on the bus, so why not? Mu Chenyan, ... As he spoke, Yuan Xuansrge hands suddenly moved into her sweater. Mu Chenyan eximed in shock. It immediately urred to her that there was still someone in the car. Even though there was a ss separating them, she dared not allowed him to continue with his evil act. She twisted and turned in protest, while her mouth cursed and chided in a low voice to stop him. Unexpectedly, the more she squirmed, the more she aroused the mans desire to conquer. Moreover, her body was overly supple. Amid the contact and dallying, coupled with the womans unique fragrant, this narrow space became a great aphrodisiac... The first day at work and someone has already begun to think of my Little Mistress, is that so? It turns out that going out to work can get further away from me, have freedom and space, and be flirted by others? Yuan Xuan mumbled softly, his hands continued to be preupied... She indifferent and cold-hearted toward him, and there was a kind of alienation like they were drifting further apart. This dissatisfied Yuan Xuan! Was this man actually feeling jealous because of that? Mu Chenyan chuckled bitterly on the inside and unceremoniously said, Can you not be this childish? Even if I marry you, Im still not your private property... Youre mine, Little Chenyan, ever since 15 years ago. The mans gaze became fuzzy, and there was an insufferably arrogant in his tone. Even if Im your Mistress, Im not a prisoner whom you can deal with however you please. Youve got to give me the right to choose. This isnt a ce for you to be in heat... The woman was tearful and mad as she rebuked in a low voice. Alright then, I want you to give me a smile. I dont think this request is excessive at all? A beast was showing itself in Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan looked at his shameless manner and was so exasperated that she wanted to swear at him. Had not Wu Huai assigned for her and Su Qingcheng to catch a sexual offender at the subway? She should also tie him up and hand him over tomorrow! Yuan Xuan saw her hesitation and targeted her sensitive skin. His thin lips closed in, and the gentle touch from the tip of his tongue caused her to go numb and shudder. Mu Chenyan had no strength left in her to resist, and she pleaded softly, Yuan Xuan... youve won... Yuan Xuan looked up and saw the inexplicable grievance on the womans reddened face. The evil thought of ying her gradually dissipated. He had indeed been outrageously obsessed! To calm her down, Yuan Xuans warm lips pressed on hers and gently smooched non-stop, swallowing all her grievances and whimper. Maybe because the way he kissed was exceedingly tender, the small hands of the woman, who was initially resisting, now held tightly to his sleeves as she bore his plundering and pressure. Little Chenyan, Im sorry. I constantly feel that Ive been bewitched by you, and I cant control myself. Yuan Xuan kissed her and mumbled into her ears at the same time... Chapter 218 - Mu Chenyan Had No Words for This Mans Childishness! Chapter 218: Mu Chenyan Had No Words for This Mans Childishness! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The intense passionate kisssted for about half-a-century long. Yuan Xuan continued with his usual fervent manner until the woman in his arms went limp, only then did he ce her onto the seat. However, he did not retract his arms, but they remain wrapped around her shoulders. He looked down to see her slightly swelled up lips and said in a deep voice, About that pretty boy colleague of yours, have him distance himself from you. Mu Chenyan, ... Mu Chenyan lowered her head and thought for a moment before realizing who he meant by the pretty boy colleague. Mu Chenyan had no words for this mans childishness! Presumably, he had seen Zhang Xin talking to her at the bus stop, hence this man hade to dere his sovereignty? Mu Chenyans heart surged with emotions, but now was definitely not the time to reason with him. This man could be triggered at any time, and there would not be a good ending for her if he was irked. The thing was, Little Chenyan was good at having a clear view of things and could adapt to the situation... She nodded unhappily, and a thought shed through her mind if Yuan Xuan were to know that she was going to lure perverts on the subway with Su Qingcheng, she did not know if the major crimes department could still see another day. Hmm! Hard to tell! ... The next day, Mu Chenyan dressed up a little nicer. Remembering that the man at home who loved to be jealous might continue to keep an eye on her, and worrying that he might mess up her assignment, she suddenly raised the idea of driving one of the cars at home. Ill drive. Then, you dont have to purposelye over to pick me up. The man did not express his stand but went to the dressing room to change his clothes. Mu Chenyan sat on the sofa and was as quiet as a chicken. Her little mind spun about, working on how to shake this man off so that he would not mess up with her brilliant n. When Yuan Xuan was fully dressed, he came out of the dressing room and wanted to match his dark-colored tailor-made suit with a silk tie. The sentimental man suddenly tossed his tie to her. His gaze was greedy for warmth, and there was a unique pampering sense in his tone. The task of tying a tie is best to be left in the hands of Mistress. It was clearly a detestable kind of sentiment, buting from this handsome man, it was not repugnant at all. Moreover, Mu Chenyan wanted to steady him at this time, hence cooperating with him was not a problem. The womans fingers were slender. She took the tie and wind the tie to form a knot, after which she sighed softly. I dont want my colleagues to find out about my identity as the Yuan Familys Mistress, otherwise, theyll treat me differently, and itll be hard to get along well... Mistress is worried that Ill send someone to tail you? Yuan Xuans smart brains were no ordinary. Before Mu Chenyan opened her mouth, he had already perceived it all through her resentful eyes. Mu Chenyan, ... Feeling embarrassed about being found out, the woman concealed it by checking out her fine hair. Her eyes danced a little as she said softly, You wont do that, right? Yuan Xuan quietly went to the dressing room. After a while, he tossed her a key to the garage and said in a low voice, I wont interfere with your matters. You can choose any you car you want, or should I ask Yan Jun to be your driver? No, no, no. Ill drive myself. Mu Chenyan was overjoyed. When she heard that Yuan Xuan would not muddle, she was instantly put at ease. She hurriedly said, Later on, you can have Yan Jun get me a small car. The cars at home are too shy. However, Ill take one of the cars at home first. You wont have to worry about me taking the subway then. Mu Chenyan had her own ns. She thought of leaving the car at the car park near the museum and go to the subway Line 1 to wait for Su Qingcheng. Hence, would not the presence of Yan Jun foil her n? As Yuan Xuan gave his word, he sighed quietly in his heart. This woman was truly lethal when she was obedient! He was not aware of the matter that Mistress was going to do in theing days. Had he known, he would have tear Wu Huai into pieces... Chapter 219 - Come On, Pervert Chapter 219: Come On, Pervert Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Following her original n, Mu Chenyan parked her car at the public car park near the museum and paid the all-day parking fee. She then rented and cycled a dockless bike to the subway. After she had purchased the ticket for Line 1, she then informed Su Qingcheng of her location. Soon, Su Qingchengs delicate and pretty figure appeared at the entrance to the subway. She had also put on a light make-up today. This woman with her natural beauty was as charming as ever be it in a light or heavy make-up. She had worn a British-style id shirt, a pair of fitting jeans, and was in a pair of white skating shoes. Her legs were slim and slender, and she was dressed stylishly with a spot-on fashion sense. Chenyan, if luck is on our side, well be able to catch one, but if we get into a fight, you have to dodge to one side. Su Qingcheng was worried and kept telling Mu Chenyan what to do. Dont worry, Ill take good care of myself. You have to be careful too. The two talk over the countermeasures, and in ordance with the situation described in the previous reports, they determined a few stations for patrolling to and fro on the subway. As the day passed, they did not reap anything, and the two women felt a little disappointed. However,e to think of it, if the arrest was that easy, Wu Huai would not have assigned them here. He had sent them with the idea of putting them into a difficult position. After getting off work, the two said goodbye and went home. Mu Chenyan had been swaying on the subway for the entire day and was exhausted. She even almost fell asleep while taking a bath. Her limber body leaned over the bathtub, and her small hand rubbed her ears as she used another arm as a pillow. Her ck hair draped over her shoulders, and the flirtatious mark Yuan Xuan left on her snowy shoulder could be vaguely seen through her hair... When Yuan Xuan strode into the bathroom, the bathing scene of this rxing beauty was what he saw. Had his willpower not been strong, he would have been super tantalized. From the moment she came home, Yuan Xuan had noticed that Mu Chenyan seemed to be exceptionally worn out. He ordered Ah Fu to brew some nourishing soup. This woman drank two bowls and went to take a bath right away. The fact that she actually fell asleep while bathing made Yuan Xuan pondered silently in his heart were reporters so busy nowadays that she was this weary? The man who felt sorry for her mistress drew her out of the water and helped to blow-dry her hair. At the same time, he was thinking to himself whether to visit Wu Huai to lighten this womans load on the case. If she were to be this exhausted every day, how would he dare to get down to her? Usually, before it was even half an hour, this woman would beining of tiredness. If things were to go ording to the current situation, she might not even hold out for ten minutes! Yuan Xuan felt miserable. The man with a high demand was regretting a little for having made her a promised before this. Since he had agreed to allow her to run wild on the outside, he could not forbid her from doing so just because he was worried that his desires were not met. The main thing was he was afraid that due to the two years of suffering in prison, her body could not bear the strenuous work. In the near future, this was the woman who was to give birth to his baby. He has mental germophobia, so his child could only be born by this woman... Yuan Xuans heart surged with emotions, but when he heard the womans even breathing, his heart was filled with contentment. With her in his arms, that was sufficient. He needed to learn self-control! ... Mu Chenyan left early in the morning again, doing the same things like yesterday, except that Yuan Xuan had Yan Jun got her a low-key average car. She even saved RMB20 from the car park fee at the museums car park... This kind of daysted for more than a week. It was not totally without any harvest. During this time, they had caught two pickpockets and a swindler. That swindler attempted to steal a grandmothers bank card and password... The subway was truly a smaller and condensed version of the human world. These experiences thrilled Mu Chenyan a great deal. Nheless, Wu Huai really seemed to have the intention to y a practical joke on them. Logically speaking, as Su Qingcheng brought back these spoils of war, that could have been enough to prove that they were not cowards. However, Wu Huai remarked that they were supposed to catch perverts and questioned the usefulness of arresting a bunch of thieves. Su Qingcheng seemed to have taken on the challenge. Since Wu Huai would not budge, she did not relent, and catching a pervert became their top priority. The greatly anxious women finally reaped an exceptional reward on ate Friday afternoon. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng had roamed about the spot that was most reported and requested for the CCTV recordings from the relevant department. After carefully going through it, they remarked a few main spots. The two went onto the train as usual. Because there were no seats, and there were many people, she and Su Qingcheng picked a quiet corner. They had nned to make a trip back to the police station after a few more stations. After all, they had not checked in for a few days and did not know if there were any new instructions. What if Wu Huai had changed his mind and assigned them a new task? Of course, this was just an ideal thought. They did not hold any hope for that male chauvinistic Captain Wu. Mu Chenyan had not stood still for long when her body felt slightly ufortable. She had been rocking on the train for a few days, and her small body was still weak. At this time, a middle-aged man with spectacles and a bright color causal jacket looked in the direction of Mu Chenyan. Hesitating a little, the man then got up and slowly moved to this side. Mu Chenyan did not realize anything special about this man at first. After all, he was smartly dressed and carried a small briefcase, looking like a proper office worker. There were traces of exhaustion on his face, and there was nothing weird about him standing by her side. What made Mu Chenyan felt amiss started from that briefcase... The man stood behind Mu Chenyan and used the briefcase to block his lower body. When Mu Chenyan noticed that something hard was pressing against her waist, she realized that the mans briefcase was blocking her side... Mu Chenyan was suddenly aware of the object that was pushing against her! It was just that the thing that was pressed against her in the past was Little Yuan Xuan... Feeling extremely embarrassed and angry, Mu Chenyan jerked her head around and red at the middle-aged man beside. From the side view, Mu Chenyan saw that the man was putting on a straight face and smiling as if nothing had happened. It looked like this was a recidivist. He knew that there were many people around and because of the mortification, usually, when the females were harassed, they would just leave it alone, shift their body, or tolerate it. Even if they were to make a police report after the incident, there was no evidence, and he did not cause any harm, hence the police would not bother to pursue the matter. After all, it was not a rape case... Ive waited for a few days, and its you Ive been waiting for! Come on, pervert! Mu Chenyan tried hard to cool herself down. She shifted her body and changed to another position. The man assumed that Mu Chenyan was protesting quietly like the usual girls he hade across. Sometimes, they would move from one end to another end of the car. If it was the girl of his taste, he would follow from behind, until he was contented... If this man met a girl in revealing clothes, he would very quickly be fulfilled, hence, this man loved summer the most... Mu Chenyan suppressed the feeling of disgust and found the best angle to stand at. That man really came over again. This females attractiveness was ranked the best among the girls whom he had assaulted. Though she was rather lean, from every point of view, it seemed that the touch would not be less remarkable. The man, emboldened by his sexual urge, gradually became rampant. He nced around and observed that besides a few young people who were glued to their phones, there were only sleepy office workers, those who were on business trips, and those who were bringing their kids along to travel. No one would notice this vile scene. Hence, the man took another step and stuck close to Mu Chenyan. This time, he even took further actions. One hand continued to use the briefcase to obscure their private part, while another hand reached out toward Mu Chenyans buttocks. Chapter 220 - Waiting to Eat Melon Seeds Chapter 220: Waiting to Eat Melon Seeds Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion At this time, Su Qingcheng, who was at a side, noticed that Mu Chenyans expression was amiss. She warily looked at the man standing behind Mu Chenyan. The straight-faced man seemed to be enjoying himself, and there was an unusual redness on his face... Suddenly, Mu Chenyan jerked around andnded a p on the mans face. The woman angrily chided, Scumbag! The man was stunned by Mu Chenyans p. All the sleepy people in the car was immediately awakened by that smack. The air in the subway was already poorly ventted, and the people were worn out under the pressure of the fast pace life. They were all stirred up and felt uneasy at the sound of that brawl. Those who knew nothing about what was really going on had their phones faced this side, feeling impatient yet anticipating the development of events. They were putting on a melon-eating look. (TN: a Chinese term. Melon-eating group refers to the people who were unaware of the truth and were just waiting to watch the unfolding of events;http:/nguage.chinadaily/2016-11/07/content_27294469.htm) Being pped by Mu Chenyan, the man was embarrassed and angrily rebuked, B*tch, why did you smack others without any reason? While speaking, that man reached out to grab Mu Chenyan. Thinking that he could not be smacked for no reason, he reprimanded angrily, Are you crazy? Did I offend you, so that you have to hit me? Su Qingcheng stepped forward and mped onto that mans outstretched hand, ring at him. The man was startled and could not make sense of the situation for a moment. Su Qingcheng gave off an oppressive aura, unlike that weak woman. Mu Chenyan had, at this time, quickly hid behind Su Qingcheng. Her fair face was secretly breaking out in cold sweat. One had to admit that Little Chenyan really knew how to ess the situation well, fleeing after giving a smack. Otherwise, the man would have torn her apart. Of course, if Su Qingcheng had not kept guard by the side, she would not have dared to do it too... Su Qingcheng coldly sneered and said inly, Why did she hit you, dont you know? The man muttered in his heart this chick actually had a helper. Had theye prepared? The two women stood together, disying the perfect beauty of strength and gentleness. One was lovely, while another had a valiant and formidable feminine air. The entire car felt that the world had lost its brilliant colors, and these two women, who seemed to have a powerful backing, had instantly dimmed the re of that arrogant man. He tidied his clothes and disyed a righteous look, chiding scornfully, Lunatics who forgot their meds when they left home in the morning! I wont concern myself with you. My station is here next. While speaking, he paced toward the door, ready to flee the moment the car reached the station. In the past, whenever there was simr resistance, he would do as such. Those girls would do nothing more after berating him. Unfortunately, the women he came across today were Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan! Want to leave? Su Qingcheng coldly snorted, her calm gaze overpowering. Im afraid you wont be able to do so today. The man bit her head off andmbasted, On what basis? Who are you girls? Arent you yourself clear on what basis? Just now, regarding what you had done to thisdy here, have you forgotten about it this quickly? Su Qingcheng spoke in a leisure manner. Those melon-eating people instantly understood that the pretty little beauty had encountered a pervert! Seeing that he had been exposed, the man decided to simply shed all pretenses and turned brazen. Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, how can you prove that Ive touched her? There are so many people in the car. Rubbing against each other is nothing umon! If you think that youre pretty and are afraid of being harassed by men, then dont take the subway. Just find a rich man to provide for you, and you can drive a luxurious car every day! This man seemed polite on the outside, but he was no less inferior to a vige shrew. The people around began pointing fingers, but the man was well aware that there were hardly any of those who were brave enough to stand up to help. He was not fearful at all, and naturally, he was still wearing the expression of arrogance on his face and would not admit no matter what. At this time, Mu Chenyan, who had been hiding behind Su Qingcheng, chuckled coldly and waved the micro camera in her hand. She coldlymented, Didnt you want evidence? Here it is. The reason she tolerated it just now and did not re up but changed a standing position was to capture the process of the perverts criminal act. Recalling that disgusting act, Mu Chenyan felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. It was good that Yuan Xuan was unaware of this, otherwise, she would really be eating pork trotter tonight. Yuan Xuan would chop off this scums hand! The man noted the determination in Mu Chenyans eyes. Looking back at Su Qingcheng, her entire being exhibited a firm and unyielding aura. She was definitely not amon weak girl! The man cried out tough luck in his heart as he had most probably hit a wall today. When the subway arrived at the station, the moment the door opened, the man lunged and attempted to escape through the narrow space. A few of those melon-eating crowd was stamped by him or knocked by him, and they could not help but cursed. Su Qingcheng was already prepared. She dragged Mu Chenyan with her and dashed through the subway door. Jumping into the air, she gave a kick and caused the man to roll onto the ground. Falling, the man cried out in pain and wanted to get back up again. Su Qingcheng quickly made another leap and as shended, her knees jabbed hard into the mans shoulder de. That man heard a crackling sound and thought that his bones had shattered, and he yelped in pain. Su Qingcheng held his hands with hers and mped them behind him. Mu Chenyan passed the handcuff to her and cuffed the man. The entire process was smooth and clean. The two women worked together as a perfect pair like a string of pearl and jade. The melon-eating crowd on the scene burst out in ps. Some had wanted to watch the ending, hence they got off the train even when it was not their stop yet. When encountering such an incident, most girls would only get angry but dare not speak up. Even if they did, the public opinion would at times be sidetracked you were harassed because you dressed up too prettily; you were harassed because you wore too little; you were harassed because you were unfortunate as it did not happen to the others but to you... Hence, even if they encountered it, choosing to tolerate and keep mum about it was the choice of many people. Witnessing a pervert being taken down in person today, those girls who had experienced the same thing cheered on. Some even took out their phone and snapped pictures. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan were wearing a loose ck sweater and a dark red low-necked fashion sweater respectively. The picture of Red & ck Double Terminator Sisters Courageously Captured a Pervert became the hottest topic on Weibo in an instant. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan did not have time to show a peace sign for everyone to take pictures. They hauled the man up from the ground, waited for another subway, and dragged him in. ... The security on the subway was not the responsibility of the major crimes department. However, Su Qingcheng brought the pervert back to the major crimes department to show to Wu Huai. When the man saw that he was arrested and taken to this ce, his legs gave way, and he screamed tearfully, I only touched her a little. How did it be a major crime? Shut up! Su Qingcheng was extremely impatient. I suppose you didnt just harass one woman, right? The man was having a weeping face, Lord, I swear, Im a first-time offender! The man imed that he was a pious believer and would not lie. Su Qingcheng did not want to hear his argument. Whether youre a first-time offender or not, you can make it clear to the party concernedter. Those who had filed a report previously would alsoe to testify. In theter stage, the case would note under the major crimes department. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan took pleasure in watching Wu Huai picked up the phone and gave a call to the police in the Public Security Department to pick up their man at the major crimes department... Chapter 221 - Kidnapping a Policewoman of Luo Hai, What a Joke Chapter 221: Kidnapping a Policewoman of Luo Hai, What a Joke Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan returned to her office. Everything that happened was so exciting and thrilling, she almost felt exhausted. After all, catching this habitual offender and shutting down Wu Huai, Su Qingcheng and her would no longer need to take the subway. The happiest person to receive this news was, unexpectedly, Zhang Xin... The young man was spacey and lost after not seeing Mu Chenyan for a few days. Seeing their return, he almost jumped and pped in joy as he kept chattering to Mu Chenyan. Remembering Yuan Xuans warning, Mu Chenyan smiled bitterly as she saw Zhang Xins eagerness. She was turning on herputer while amodating her colleague, thinking of writing an article before her phone rang. It was Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan was hit with a sudden unfavorable instinct. She excused herself from Zhang Xin and picked up the call. At the same time, Su Qingcheng came out of Wu Huais office with a pale look and her own phone in her hand. As soon as she saw Mu Chenyan, she said, Were trending on Weibo... Both of them were pretty, and the headline was a hot topic of the time. Soon, the photo with them, captioned the Red and ck Justice Duo, circted wildly on the inte, and bing the news of the day... Mu Chenyans phone was still ringing stubbornly, she could almost imagine Yuan Xuans ck face on the other side of the phone... What to do? Mu Chenyan felt a sudden intense urge to run away! Su Qingcheng was still calm and collected. She muttered under her breath, Shao Yibai knew Im here as well... ... Adagio of Resonance Private Club Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai were both reading about the Justice Duos news with tensed up faces as if they were going to kill someone. In the beginning, there were only female fans who were discussing the creeper and how he was burned, but the topic slowly shifted toward the beauty of the two women who caught the creeper and upheld justice together, thanks to a bunch of straight men. There were even some obsessedizens who posted! Shut the hell up, the two chicks are mine, mine! Beep beep, anyone has their information? I wanna harass them I like the cool chick in ck, but I also like the red chick. I shall take the subway tomorrow instead of driving so I might meet them Ive already saved them as my screensaver, fight me! ... Even some female fans joined in the fight as they started posting, I wouldnt mind a hubby like this, I like my hubby in ck... Just like that, even women can be husbands! As Weibo descended into chaos, so do the hearts of the two men! It was especially so when Yuan Xuan realized how thirsty many of the fans were. He felt as if he had just swallowed a fly. His woman was back on the pedestal, what a nightmare! Shao Yibai ambted about without stopping. As a formermander of the special forces, his usual calmposure was lost. That might be because he had stuck with Su Qingcheng for so long... Your girl was with Su Qingcheng, and you dont tell me? Shao Yibai could not find anywhere to unleash his wrath, so he turned toward Yuan Xuan. Su Qingcheng had run away from his care a few days ago. Mu Chenyan knew that, but she managed to hide herpany with the runaway even from Yuan Xuan who slept beside her every night, that showed the depth of her discretion! Yuan Xuans head ached a little. Even if he said he knew nothing about it, Shao Yibai would probably not believe him as well. Mu Chenyan had be so gutsy. She pretended to go to work and write her articles for days, so much so that he even wanted to talk to her bosses for her. Who would have known that she was going to make such a huge ruckus! No wonder she looked exhausteding home every day. Her work just needs her to unt her sex appeal? How outrageous! Your woman brought Mu Chenyan to trap perverts, you didnt know that as well, or did you? Yuan Xuans eyes went dark and his lips turned upward into a clear smirk as he countered! Shao Yibai, ... The two uninformed men were still in the mood to fight in this dire times? Scoffing, Shao Yibai sank into his couch and drew a cigarette between his fingertips. His long, fair fingers were as white as porcin. As the cigarette burned, he slowly calmed down among swirls of cigarette smoke. Yuan Xuan quit smoking, so he ordered a bottle of red wine. Holding a crystal ss in his hand, he stuffed the other hand inside his pocket and stared outside the window. His expression was unreadable, his gaze was cold, and his posture was casual andzy. Even though he managed to suppress his anxiety with silence, he still felt scared retrospectively. That woman ced herself in harms way, and he knew nothing about it? Alright, tell me. What should we do now? Shao Yibai had wanted to rush over to take them home, but Yuan Xuan stopped him. Theyre at the major crimes department of the police station, we shouldnt interfere! Mu Chenyan is just a reporter, we can just take her home and I can reprimand her, but yours would definitely protest loudly. It wont be pretty if the other police came to back your woman up! Yuan Xuan analyzed and finished the red wine with one gulp. Seeing how impatient Shao Yibai was, he waved his hand lightly, Dont get antsy! As he said that, he grabbed his phone and dialed Yan Juns number, How was it? Did you manage to get to those two deathseekers? Yan Juns phone almost slipped out of his hand. He grabbed it tightly, looked hesitantly at Mistress Mu and Miss Su, then replied, I got them, were going to Adagio of Resonance now! Yuan Xuan understood that since Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng made a good team, they must have known each other. This incident was all because of Su Qingcheng. If they could make Mu Chenyane to them, Su Qingcheng would definitely follow, so that was a more solid n than Shao Yibai going over to the police station. After hanging up, Yan Jun took a long sigh before looking over to Mu Chenyan. Obviously, she knew who was the one making the call. Mu Chenyan stared at Yan Jun coldly. Su Qingcheng and her were taken away by Yan Jun and his two subordinate from the police station, that alone was enough to get her trending again the next day. Miss, can you... not look at me like that? I was just carrying out my orders... Yan Jun felt wronged. He could not turn to anyone to pledge his loyalty. He could not displease either Young Master or Young Mistress. In the future, after they had reconciled, he would still be in a pinch if Young Mistress had a bad day. What does Yuan Xuan want? asked Mu Chenyan disinterestedly. Her gaze was sharp, and her attitude made Yan Jun sweat buckets. Is Young Mistress going to force me? Su Qingcheng who had always beenposed looked anxious all of a sudden! Mistress, when you get there, just pout, wheedle, and act cute a little bit and say youre sorry. Everything will be fine, please dont fight with Third Young Master... Yan Jun pleaded and nced at Su Qingcheng warningly. He could not understand what Miss Sus situation was at all. He only knew that Mister Shao requested him to take Su Qingcheng with him at all cost, unlike his usual attitude. I dont me you! Mu Chenyan knew Yan Jun was only Yuan Xuans assistant. He could not resist his bosss orders. However, Miss Su seems to have the right to note with you! Kidnapping a policewoman of Luo Hai, what a joke! Please talk to Third Young Master and Mister Shao when you get there... I, I cant do anything... Yan Jun wore an expression that said he was being put in a difficult position while feeling ufortable under Mu Chenyans knife-like gaze. Chapter 222 - Two Males vs. Two Females Chapter 222: Two Males vs. Two Females Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Adagio of Resonance Private Club Outside the window of an elegant Japanese-styled private room was a man-made stream. The warm sun of early Spring had caused a sakura tree to blossom. The sweet scent of sakura prated the windowttice, subtly, but seductively, veiling the environment with a heady sweetness. Unfortunately, neither Mu Chenyan nor Su Qingcheng was in the mood to enjoy the beautiful sight! In front of them were two men with faces steeled into darkness, it was as though they were going to swallow them alive... The duel between the males and the females had finally reached its climax! Very good! Seeing both Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng were escorted here, Yuan Xuan waved his hand at Yan Jun, who wiped the sweat on his head before leaving the room with his subordinates. Before he had left, he gave Mu Chenyan a nce loaded with intent. Apanying Yuan Xuans clear gaze was a hint of coldness. Before his dark eyes managed to burst with fury, the clever Mu Chenyan softened her voice and suggested, Qingcheng and Yibai are finally reunited, so lets not be the third and fourth wheels here... Dodging the burning gaze, she wanted to get away! Yuan Xuan turned around and saw Shao Yibai who looked like a volcano that was about to erupt. His fiery gaze was fixed onto Su Qingcheng, who returned the look with her own cool, calm ones. Yuan Xuan thought Mu Chenyan had a point, it would be best to leave the room for Shao Yibai and Su Qingcheng to settle their issues. Follow me! Yuan Xuan began to stride away. When he passed by Mu Chenyan, he ordered with a neutral tone. Mu Chenyan nced at Su Qingcheng. Her eyesmunicated a message, Take care, be well! Su Qingcheng nodded lightly, still not giving much of a reaction to Shao Yibais zing re... It has been a good while! After Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan had left, Shao Yibai finally opened his mouth after a few minutes of silence and glowering. The mans taut body rxed, sinking into the couchzily as he looked coldly at Su Qingchengs stiff body. The more silent she was, the bigger the me in his eyes. He wanted to charge at her and tear all of her facades apart! He wanted to see if the woman in front of him had a beating heart like all other people. How was she able to be so cruel as to leaving without a message and appearing without any emotion? Shao Yibai was suppressing his own urge so it would not burst him open! Su Qingcheng had a delicate and pretty face, her features were sharp and distinct, but at the moment, she was looking back at Shao Yibai with dead eyes as she said, Indeed, its been a long while! Miss Su, shouldnt you offer your enthusiasm if youve met an old friend? Shao Yibai sprung forward and ced his arm on the womans tiny waist. His arms were firm, forcing her to be pulled toward his torso. Su Qingcheng was shocked but could do nothing to resist! Or could it be that youve already forgotten our unusual rtionship? Hmm? The mans breath was a little irregr, his husky voice sending danger signals. His lips lightly caressed her earlobe, causing her to tremor involuntarily... Su Qingcheng shrugged as she attempted to break free. However, she knew the suplexst time was just pure luck. If Shao Yibai was prepared, she would not have been able to fight him. Resistance is futile! Su Qingchengs eyes mysteriously turned red and warm liquid filled them. She turned to her side and muttered, I dont know... what rtion... unusual rtionship did we have... The first time ever in her life, she was stuttering! Under his staring gaze, Su Qingcheng blushed. Do I need to remind you, Miss Su? Hearing her obviously avoidant words, Shao Yibai asked annoyedly as he increased his strength on his hands, holding them both ever closer than before. His breath is quick and shallow, and hisrge palm pressed burningly into her waist... Su Qingcheng shuddered. She bit her lips and closed her eyes, warning him, Shao Yibai, dont make me fight you! The moment her threat was let loose, Su Qingcheng regretted it. She remembered that Shao Yibai hated threats. As expected, the mans face changed slightly as bloodlust shed through his eyes, making his handsome face look even more mysterious, shaded with goodness and badness. Su Qingcheng could smell the danger as swiftly reacted with a knee attack toward Shao Yibais waist! He seemed to have prepared as he took a step back and pivoted his torso to evade the attack. However, his hand loosened, giving Su Qingcheng an opening. She broke open Shao Yibais hold and jumped back. She made a fist with her hands and set into the counterattack stance in Chinese boxing. Shao Yibai smiled with his eyes and praised the woman in front of him Within a few years, youve improved. Speaking of which, I want to try something, see if your stamina has improved as well. You wouldnt beg me to stop after just a little while being under me, would you? Hmm? Hearing the unadulterated provocation, Su Qingcheng blushed with anger, Shameless! I forbid you from mentioning anything from before! Shao Yibai charged at her suddenly and leaped into the air,unching a few jabs her way. Su Qingcheng dodged and parried them andunched a few attacks of her own when opportunitiese! Not bad, although you still need to raise your agility. In real battles, your enemies wouldnt let you hesitate so many times! Shao Yibai managed to slip in some pointers. Not in the mood to stay in the fight, Su Qingcheng only wanted to flee. This sick bastard of a man teased and attacked her so suddenly. Su Qingcheng utilized Chinese boxing and Taekwondo andbined her hard and softbat styles. Relying on her featherweight, she managed to shift between dodging and attacking quickly. Shao Yibai could not gain on her, and he was even kicked a few times... Alright, did you really think you have the upper hand if I dont show you my true strength? After the fourth kick, Shao Yibai growled fiercely and said, I could dominate you before, I can dominate you now. Let see how you will get away from me again? As he was saying, he tightened his attacks without giving her an opportunity to strike back! The two lovers had begun fighting in this tatami-lined tea room... ... In another tea room with an identical decoration, the two was getting alongpletely differently! Yuan Xuan had no idea that there was a battle in the other room. His priority was to solve this problem who was hisdy! Come here! Yuan Xuan sat on his seat and extended his arm at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan was slightly stunned before answering, I think Ill just stand... She was in a defensive stance. The woman with a calm demeanor and a detail-oriented mind could always cause Yuan Xuan headaches! He frowned lightly, seething. She was wary of him as if he was a thief. She was already willing to be touched by perverts outside, but still, she wanted to act reserved in front of him? Mu Chenyan knew she was at fault, but she did not want to admit it. Her avoidance was also an attack. If Yuan Xuan got angry, she would be able to run away. Yuan Xuan stood up suddenly and marched toward Mu Chenyan, scaring her as she took steps back. Her eyes were filled with rage as she asked, What are you doing? She knew her man was prone to jealousy, so he had always treated her like a personal collection. However, she had disappointed him by causing trouble outside. He would never forgive her for that... Chapter 223 - Are You Done with Your Little Chili? Chapter 223: Are You Done with Your Little Chili? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She knew the man had always been the jealous type and had always treated her like a personal collection. However, she had disappointed him by causing trouble outside, and he would never forgive her for that... Mu Chenyans reaction was funny to Yuan Xuan. He ced his hand on her waist, his chin on her crown, and spoke with a clear, graceful manner, Little Chenyan, do not put yourself in harms way in the future! I was so worried... It was rare for a man like Yuan Xuan to be emotional. In most situations, he was overly calm and even cunning! During the Spring Festival, Mu Chenyan had seen the side of Yuan Xuan she had never seen, one who was ying with power and navigating between politics with ease! Usually, he was in charge of the development of Country Zs energy resources and technology. The aristocratic family of the Southeast Region was led by him, the younger generation treated him as a role model, and even the elites of the older generation would need to have some respect for him! A man like this was, at this moment, holding his Little Chenyan and purring, disying the sensibilities of a normal man. As he was talking, his breathing was uneven. Mu Chenyan pressed herself to his chest and listened to his strong rhythmic heartbeats, and hesitated. She thought he was going to teach her a lesson, but his tenderness caught her by surprise! If he was going to be rough, she could still resist. However, the gentler he was, the more panicky and flustered she was. Like a child who made mistakes, they would revolt against criticism, but might bawl their eyes out if they were treated with kindness. Yuan Xuan, I... Mu Chenyans eyes reddened as she hung her head powerlessly on the mans chest. She felt a sense of safety that she had not felt for a long time... Since the time she had heard Mu Chenwus words in the cemetery, as well as when she found out that the evidence for her court case reversal had always been with Yuan Xuan the whole time from Yuan Tian, she had been in a knot for a long time. Now that she was in his arms, all those concerns seemed to have disintegrated. She wished that time would stop so she could stay in this dream forever... Yuan Xuan held her in his arms tightly. He had no doubt that human society was filled with vileness and kept imagining what could happen if the perpetrator had be aggressive or that if Su Qingcheng did not manage to save her. This woman did things behind his back, things that had sent him into worry spells retroactively. How could he criticize her in this situation? That man, where did he touch you? In the middle of their tender reunion, he asked. Mu Chenyan was startled. Which man? You idiot! Yuan Xuan was a little mad and poked her on her forehead, That pervert in the subway! Mu Chenyan realized what happened and replied in surprise, You cant do anything there, can you? He touched my woman, why cant I do anything about it?! As he eximed, Yuan Xuan began strolling in the room. The handsome man was feeling really ufortable, unlike the gentle Third Young Master Yuan just a moment ago... Mu Chenyan frowned, her head aching! Yuan Xuan, let it go. Hes just a normal office worker. Since weve already sent him to the police, they will handle it. It wouldplicate things if you stood up, wouldnt it? Mu Chenyan was worried. If words get out, everyone would know she was part of the Yuan Family and her old well-documented case from three years ago would resurface. It was due to good luck that her colleagues did not recognize her, and she did not want Yuan Xuan to ruin that for her. Yuan Xuan gave it a thought and suddenly med Wu Huai, Did Wu Huai make you go out and catch the pervert? Mu Chenyan was silent as a cicada in winter. If she involved Wu Huai, things would only get worse. Wu Huai intended to send them away. If Yuan Xuan demanded, Wu Huai would definitely apologize and happily send them away. Mu Chenyan immediately apologized by muttering, We did it ourselves, Big Brother Wu had nothing to do with it. Flushing out the trash of society is the responsibility of every citizen, were fine, arent we, so can you stop inquiring about it? She tugged at Yuan Xuans sleeve as she requested. Mu Chenyan recalled Yan Juns words on the road. Pouting, wheedling, and acting cute was important in situations like this! Hmph, you always had excuses like that. I think youre suited to be a college counselor! Hearing her soft voice, the haze inside Yuan Xuans heart slowly dissipated as he said, I can let that go. However, if there are simr situations in the future, Ill forbid you from being a reporter. If you have to go outside like this, it would be better if you help out Yuan family business! Hearing Yuan Xuans advice, Mu Chenyan was not happy. She grumbled. I have zero business skills, are you trying to make me bankrupt Yuan Family? Wen Yas method of handling business was pretty good, you both were old friends, so maybe you can learn from her! Yuan Xuan had that idea for a while now, but since Mu Chenyan wanted to do what she was good at, he did not stop her. However, the more he let her does what she wanted, the more reckless she had be. After the fiasco this time, what could be next? Mu Chenyan took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness shed in her eyes as she said, I like being a reporter. If I have to listen to you on even this, whats the difference between that and being stuck at home? Her cheeks flushed red. Seeing her unspeakable grievance, Yuan Xuan lost his imposing stance. He tightened his grip on her andforted her. I wont impose this on you, but you shouldnt let me be worried as well. This is only a warning, you have another chance! Mu Chenyan exhaled in relief. However, she still felt a little tingle in her heart. How could she manage this in the future when she still had to investigate about Zhao Ruoxin and Shu Qinger... ... Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan exited their tea room and noticed that there were norge movements in the other room. It was strange, did the two already stopped their quarreling? Due to the style of decoration in the private club, they were using Japanese sliding doors. Yuan Xuan approached the door, knocked, and asked, Shao Yibai, do you need help? Are you done with your little chili? A scruffy voice came from inside. Were still at it! There was a faint shuffle in the room that sounds like the fight was still going on. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan shared a nce, not understanding the situation! A womans faint sniffle was heard as she cursed, Shao Yibai, you bastard... Mu Chenyan was shocked and was prepared to open the door when Yuan Xuan stopped her andughed, Miss Red Demon, did you want to save Miss ck Demon? Mu Chenyan was in no mood to joke with Yuan Xuan. She asked urgently, What is Shao Yibai doing to Su Qingcheng? Yuan Xuan smirked mysteriously and pulled his woman close to him. They were a man and a woman, like dry branches with fire. What else can he be doing to her? Shao Yibai had not been getting some action for such a long time. Now that he had gotten his hands on Su Qingcheng, he must have picked her bones clean. Mu Chenyan was even more restless at the sound of that. She hollered from the outside, Qingcheng, do you need help? Third Young Master Yuan, can you take your girl away? If you cant control her, I dont mind letting you two inside to observe! Shao Yibais became even gruffer with a hint of panting...

Chapter 224: The Puritanical Angel on the Altar Had, Once Again, Descended to the Human Realm

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Fighting with Shao Yibai was not the wise choice for Su Qingcheng! Shao Yibais grandfather was one of the founding fathers of the nation. The descendants of a famed general would definitely walk the path of bing a famed general! Up till his generation, all of his elders had been from the military. In his childhood, his father and grandfather were Shao Yibai coaches. When the other kids were ying with building blocks, he had begun his martial arts training... When Shao Yibai entered the army, he tested first in both physical examination andbat skills and was entered into the hall of fame of the military. Su Qingchengs skills were enough to handle petty criminals, but seemed frivolous to Shao Yibais trained eyes. Hearing Yuan Xuan dragging Mu Chenyan away, Shao Yibai became even more casual. After the initial bout of attacks, Su Qingcheng no longer had any strength to retaliate! At this instant, he forced her into the corner and held her. She shivered in his arms as her eyes began to water. She asked, trembling, What do you want? Shao Yibai blocked her escape with his body and pressed her arms with his own. Su Qingchengs legs were split by his knees, making them look like geckos that got tangled together on the wall. Cant you see what I want? Shao Yibai smiled evilly. Feeling his warmth, Su Qingcheng turned her face to the side! His strong jaw had been attracting attention for as long as she remembered. His eyes were seductive in a just yet wicked ways. His lips parted slightly, and his Adams apple wavered. To Su Qingcheng, the scenario waspletely scious... Shao Yibai, let me go. Just take it as weve never met before... I... beg of you... Su Qingcheng was not a woman who would admit weakness, let alone cry. However, at this moment, her eyes had gone misty. The sadness in her eyes was colored with ayer of worry, which moved Shao Yibai! Never met before? Shao Yibai was furious and asked with a low voice, You f*cking stole my heart, and youre telling me to pretend weve never met? With that said, he gripped her chin with his steely hands and lifted her face, the face that he love and hate so much! With an unknowable fear in her eyes, Su Qingcheng wanted to retreat further. However, she could not move a single inch. Looking into his furious me burning in his cold eyes, Su Qingcheng could see the sorrow he was hiding. She had done him wrong back then! That was why he could not forget her! If he only wanted her for her body, it would be easier. She could just wait until he was bored with her. However, if he was really in love, he might never have recovered from this... A cold tingle was born deep inside her heart, Su Qingcheng did not want her efforts to go to waste! She had done it, and she had hidden from him for so long. If everything were to return to the beginning, what meaning would it have for her to stay hidden for so long? Shao Yibai, the only way to minimize damage is to run! Su Qingcheng returned to her senses and said with determination, Since I have decided to leave you, I dont n to step in the same river twice. Treat our reunion today as a joke that Fate yed on us. I left without a goodbye, so think of it as Fate allowing me to formally say it to you... Shao Yibai suddenly scoffed. His handsome face turned sour, his iris contracted as he rebuffed with a hint of ferocity. What if I said no? Shao Yibai, if thats your choice, then I will say this. However I choose to leave back then, I will choose the same now! Su Qingchengs rebuttalpletely angered Shao Yibai. She meant that she would escape once again! He increased his strength on his hands and spat out, I wanna see how you would do that! When he finished, he caught her red lips with his own, parting her teeth with the tip of his tongue and driving it in... Mmph... Su Qingcheng did not expect the man to be that unreasonable. Before she could think, he had already conquered her with steps after steps! I dont want... dont want you to say something like that, Daisy! Shao Yibai traced her lips as he called her nickname softly. A soft voice and aggressive kisses, what a deadlybination! Su Qingcheng hummed as her tongue felt a little numb. He lightly bit her. She tried to resist, but every move she made was countered with a stricter punishment. Her hair was made into a mess, her lips were numb beyond sensation, and the tip of his tongue was almost touching her throat. That inch-by-inch conquest had left her breathless... Daisy, I want you... After a long moment, he let go of her lips and started on her ears. That was her sensitive spot, Su Qingcheng could not help but to moan as her cherry-colored face was kissed all over. Su Qingcheng trembled uncontrobly as she endured his passionate conquest and upation, he was no longer satisfied with a kiss, so hisrge hand made its way to her cor... No... Shao Yibai... You cant... Su Qingcheng kept shaking her head, denying his further invasion. Her eyes were watery, betraying her fear. Right now, she was no different from normal girls, going through the same horrors they have gone through in simr situations. Daisy,e, help me take my shirt off... His respiration was quick and rushed, he kept kissing her neck without stopping at one single spot as his hand began to go toward her waist... While he was doing that, he guided Su Qingcheng to do the same. Pulling Su Qingchengs hands to his waist, he coaxed, Daisy, its been so long. Do you know how much its missing you? Its been lying silently for so many years, do you still remember the passion it has for you? Su Qingcheng trembled even harder. Her breath was shallow and uneven as her hand was being led by his, unable to escape... Shao Yibai was dominated by his lust. After so many years, the Bachelor of Capital City, the puritanical angel on the altar had, once again, descended to the human realm! Su Qingcheng was held by him, trying her best to resist but failing miserably. The misfiring of them both seemed to have happened in an instant. She knew it was not right, but she could do nothing to resist it. Shao Yibai ced her on the tatami. She did not want to help him, so he unbuttoned his shirt and tugged at his belt... With the sound of the belt buckle springing open, Su Qingcheng snapped into consciousness. What was she doing? Waiting for his to sleep with her? Su Qingcheng suddenly remembered her main reason for leaving the Capital City was to avoid this man. If she went back with him right now, she might never get another chance to escape from him! At this point of her thought, she said, to his surprise, Shao Yibai, if youve had enough, can I leave now? The lusty man was taken aback slightly. His eyes turned slightly cold as he stared unmovingly at the woman with a hot flush. Smirking, Su Qingcheng said flightily, If you only want to have a few one-night-stands before you would let me go, I can cooperate. But I dont want other people to know. After all, I am already married. You, as the descendant of a famous family, wouldnt want a scandal just because you were messing around with a married woman! Shao Yibai, ... Chapter 225 - Incident at Zong He

Chapter 225: Incident at Zong He

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was still worried about Su Qingcheng, but due to Yuan Xuans obstruction, she could not just go and save Su Qingcheng. She was unhappy the entire way back. She even gave Yuan Xuan a knock to the back of his head! Yuan Xuan stayed low-profile. Sensing Mu Chenyans disgruntledness, he did not mind it and drove straight to the Hibiscus Garden. Mu Chenyan was still concerned about Su Qingcheng. After dinner, she took her phone and snuck into the third floor of the house. It was spring, the sun shone warmly in the day, whileforting breeze blew at night. After an entire winter of sleeping, those exotic nts had begun to unfurl their branches and bloomed. The moon was clean and bright as it glowed softly in the gentle night. Mu Chenyan unlocked her phone and was going to call Su Qingcheng when a text message came from her. Chenyan, Im doing fine, dont worry! Mu Chenyan exhaled in relief. She typed on her phone, Shao Yibai did not harm you, did he? After sending it out, Mu Chenyan regretted her actions a little for infringing on anothers privacy. When they had left, the soundsing from inside the room seemed suspicious, they might even have some kind of a sensual rtionship... Thankfully, Su Qingcheng was a pretty open to discussions like this. She replied, Im okay. We can only wait for what happens in the future! Hes not the kind to give up easily, so this thing between us wouldnt end so quickly. Its hard to say. Mu Chenyan understood Su Qingchengs feelings. She did not know what happened between her and Shao Yibai, but if she switched them out for herself and Yuan Xuan, it would not have ended so quickly too. Alright, see you tomorrow! Keeping her phone, Mu Chenyan looked around and saw the flowered nts that she named Hope Bamboo Basket had begun a new growing cycle. Recalling that it had been a while since herst visit, Mu Chenyan walked around in the house. The nts that Yuan Xuan were taking care of had begun to sprout. Even tropical nts like Hope Bamboo Basket had limated to Luo Hais weather. Mu Chenyan caressed the sprouts and smiled. Even nts can renew their life force, so why cant humans do the same?! ... When Mu Chenyan came downstairs, Yuan Xuan had just received a call. Something the caller told him had made his face change abruptly! It was a long while before the man replied, Let our men control the situation. Transfer the patients to the general hospital, transfer Ye Kun to military general hospital and let Third Uncle handle him. Ill be there ASAP! It was rare for Mu Chenyan to see Yuan Xuan behaving in such a way that portrayed shock, and even more so, a ferocious hatred! Mu Chenyan did not know what happened, but she had a subtle feeling that something had gone wrong. She approached him and asked lightly, Yuan Xuan, where are you going? Yuan Xuan did not speak. By the time Mu Chenyan was contemting how to ask to go with him, Yuan Xuan had already retrieved his jacket from upstairs. He caressed her shoulder as he dropped the fierceness in his eyes and said affectionately, Stay here, Ill be back really soon. Drink some milk and get some sleep! Mu Chenyan had an urge to say that she wanted to go along, but she knew it would not work the moment she saw Yuan Xuan. Seeing his back, she thought, Whos that patient Yuan Xuan was talking about? ... Yuan Xuan had yet to return even as the first sunray of the day had broken through. Mu Chenyan did not sleep well. She kept dreaming of Xi Fan recently, and the difference in the recent times, it was set in the boundless Gobi Desert full of lifeless bodies. The gradual rity of the nightmare caused her to be awake since 5 a.m. Moodily, she finished washing up, applied some light makeup, and went downstairs to have breakfast prepared by Ah Fu. Not having slept well, she did not have much of an appetite. Call Young Master and ask if hesing back for breakfast. Mu Chenyan gathered her belongings to prepare for work while instructing Ah Fu to contact Yuan Xuans cell phone. After a while, Ah Fu reported, Young Master said he wont be back for breakfast and that you shouldnt wait for him, hes still arranging things over there. Looks like it really is a huge incident, guessed Mu Chenyan. ... As soon as Mu Chenyan parked her car on thepany parking bay, she saw Zhang Xin shuffling toward her quickly. Seeing Mu Chenyan, he said excitedly, Quick, Chenyan. Something happened in Zong He Sanatorium. People from the major crimes department had already rushed over, we have to get there now! Recognizing the name, Mu Chenyans heart was pumping hard. Yuan Xuans hurrying away must have something to do with Zong He! What happened? Mu Chenyan rebuckled her seatbelt, released the hand break, and ced her hands on the steering wheel. Zhang Xin was panting. He unstrapped his camera and jabbered away. Homicide by poisoning, I heard! There were multiple victims, and theyve already locked the ce down. If we werent going with the major crimes department, we will definitely not be allowed entry. This is an exclusive news... As a professional reporter, Zhang Xin knew the value of this story like a beast smelling the blood of its prey! Poisoning? Mu Chenyan did not know why, but something told her that it had to do with the conversation she overheard from the mother-and-daughter pair from the Zhao n. Driving through the traffic, her heart was racing, and so was Zhang Xin, even though their reasons were different. Chenyan, this is our first case together, and its an exclusive. Ive never experience anything like this in the legal channel. Im so lucky... Zhang Xin was good enough a reporter to realize a cases worth. Mu Chenyans head was pulsing. Compared to the value of the news, she was more concerned about the safety of the patients! ... Zong He Sanatorium was already surrounded byw enforcement, as evidenced by Wu Huai and his forensics experts presence. Su Qingcheng was beside Wu Huai. Captain, can it be Poison Rat Qiang? Wu Huais gaze was dark and piercing. He checked out the food sampled from the sanatoriums canteen as well as other pieces of evidence collected by the forensics. He said darkly, We cant confirm if theres only one type of poison before sending it to theb! Wu Huai had never been this down before. This case was different from all the other cases. He did not know the assants motives for which they would target patients in a sanatorium? Mass poisoning was such a deplorable act of terrorism! After all, some of these patients were already pitiable enough with broken families and without a home to return. Even someone as hardy as Wu Huai was triggered! Little Su, go to the hospital with Jiang Bian in the afternoon, check out the situation over there. Little Dong, record statements from witnesses in the sanatorium. Su Qingcheng was assigned a task as well. She managed to see Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin snap some photos. The key evidence could not be broadcast yet due to their relevance to the investigation that followed, but their photos could be collected to be used after the case was closed. Zhang Xin wanted to go to the hospital, so he whispered to Mu Chenyan, Can you inform Captain Wu? Mu Chenyan knew Wu Huai would be a tough person to approach at this moment. She wanted to check out the hospital as well, but it would be more realistic to ask Su Qingcheng about it for now. Qingcheng, does the police know how to go about the investigation for this poisoning? Mu Chenyan was unnerved. Her instinct told her that this case might be orchestrated by the person behind Zhao Ruoxin or even Zhao Ruoxin herself! Chapter 226 - Can You Compare with Yuan Xuan?

Chapter 226: Can You Compare with Yuan Xuan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt that there might be important people staying in Zong He, or the one behind Zhao Ruoxin would not have pushed her tomit such an illicit act, and Yuan Xuan would not need to handle things so discreetly. Cant tell for sure! The entire monitoring system was down since two days ago. Before they could fix the system yesterday, something happened. Someone released the poison yesterday. The staff thought it was just a normal food poisoning, but as more and more people got affected, the dean was scared of negligence usation, so he filed a report! Su Qingcheng exined what she knew to Mu Chenyan. How many people were poisoned? Did you see anyone called Ye Kun? Mu Chenyan thought she remembered Yuan Xuan mentioning the name on his phone call. About twenty-seven people. I dont have a concrete answer to whether this person you mentioned was in our list! Do you know him? Su Qingcheng picked up on Mu Chenyans reaction. Nope! Im just asking! Mu Chenyan was not sure if the case had anything to do with Ye Kun. She was just making a wild guess based on Yuan Xuans response and her overhearing of Zhao Ruoxins words. Did you guys see Yuan Xuan when you were here? Mu Chenyan asked softly. Su Qingcheng was confused, Your husband? Is he here? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Xuan must have finished what he came here to do before the police could begin their investigation! As they were exchanging information, some key witnesses were transported to the police station to officially file their statements. Dean Qian was panicking. She was crying and moaned about it with a wavering voice. Who would do such a thing to those poor patients? Mu Chenyan noticed that Dean Qian was a plump middle-aged woman with a very dated hairstyle. The sanatorium was originally government-operated but was proving too difficult to maintain. Since the Yuan Family supported many charity organizations in Luo Hai, the sanatorium was transferred under the Yuan Family. With the support of the Yuan Family, the standard of the sanatorium was raised. Soon after, Zong He had be a high-quality caregiving facility, and people flocked to it due to its fame. The majority of the patients here were in their advanced-stage treatment of their mental disorders. After leaving Zong He, some of them were even allowed to assimte into society and be normal citizens once more. This incident would have destroyed Zong He Sanatorium. Not only would its reputation be ruined, many people would have be a victim of this event. Due to the sheer number of people affected, even the government began to look into this and want it to be solved as soon as possible. Mu Chenyan followed Su Qingcheng back to the police station. She typed up a draft about what happened today and submitted it to the legal channels. Due to the affected people being special families, there were no other reports avable yet. It was calm as a mill pond on channels like Weibo and Wechat. When the government had set up a joint reporting team from the news office and the major crimes department, they had put into consideration on how to handle the media. Due to private news outlets being unofficial sources, it was easy for the news they released to be twisted and cause mass hysteria. For that reason alone, they had instated Mu Chenyans position to release news from an official standpoint. Since private news outlets did not make a move, their articles were temporarily suppressed to be released after the case was solved. ... After work, Mu Chenyan returned to the Yuan Family Mansion exhausted. When she arrived at the turning at the slope, she saw the red BMW that Yuan Family assigned to Zhao Ruoxin zooming past her. Mu Chenyan had just begun using her car, a regr white Volkswagen, Zhao Ruoxin did not recognize her, but Mu Chenyan could recognize the red car. Without hesitation, Mu Chenyan turned around and followed behind the red car. The car was snaking along the winding road, but Zhao Ruoxin did not notice a white car following her from behind. Arriving at the outskirts of town, Zhao Ruoxin alighted in front of a low-profile but fancy cafe. Her brown wide leg pants and lunar-white cored shirt exhibited her extravagance and serious look. Seeing her entering the cafe scrupulously, but quickly, Mu Chenyan thought, If I followed her just like this, I would most definitely be seen. Luckily for me, I have prepared something! ... Zhao Ruoxin entered the cafe and scanned quickly, seeing her appointment in a prosaic corner. Xinxin, over here! The man could not hide his excitement as he waved at Zhao Ruoxin. Zhao Ruoxin furrowed her brows a little and strolled over unwillingly. She sat down gracefully and lit a cigarette! The man sitting in front of her was about forty-something years old. He was tasteful and well-groomed, but he could not defy some marks left behind by time, as evidenced by his thinning hair. Seeing Zhao Ruoxin lighting up the cigarette, he tried to dissuade her. Xinxin, do you think you can smoke less? Its not good for your body... Youre not my dad, why are you giving me unsolicited advice? Zhao Ruoxin interrupted rudely. Her slender fingers held the cigarette and puffed gracefully, making smoke swirl around her. The mans expression turned sour. I cant even enjoy a puff in Yuan Family. Are you trying to suffocate me by denying me that outside of them as well? Zhao Ruoxin enjoyed her cigarette with her eyes half-closed. She peered at the man sitting opposite her and continued saying, Xia Tao, I told you not to look for me. We are finished! Xia Taos pale face turned red from his unwillingness to let go. Xinxin, how could you be so cruel as to ending our rtionship like that? Ive done so much for you, and you know it. You know how important you are to me... Zhao Ruoxin exhaled a long smoke ring and smirked. She jeered without attachment, That was in the past! Now that Ive found my way into Yuan Family, how would I have any association with you? You better give up. Im only here today to have a clean break with you. From now on, do not keep calling me, and do not try to contact me through any other manners. Old Mistress would be suspicious. The only reason Yuan Family would let me stay was because they thought I have no one else! Xia Tao was not satisfied with that statement. He said pitifully, Xinxin, when we were together, you told me you like mature daddies like me. For you, Ive gone to the gym and did my best to improve my fitness just to satisfy you. I even helped to look for a source of heart... Shut up! Zhao Ruoxin lost it a little. She nced around and growled, I forbid you from mentioning this ever again! Know this, Xia Tao. At the end of the day, youre a deputy director. Our rtionship would be considered an affair! Its your fortune that I no longer look for you, so stop pestering me. Do you seriously think that I would still be into your tiny bit of influence after getting into Yuan Family? As she was talking, Zhao Ruoxin tapped the table alternatively with her index and middle fingers, her face was lined with ayer of callousness. I may have liked men like you before, but now, I only have my eyes on Yuan Xuan! Xia Tao, do you think you canpare with Yuan Xuan? Hearing Yuan Xuans name, Xia Taos forehead was covered with cold sweat. How could hepare with the Third Young Master of Yuan Family? Chapter 227 - When Theres A Disagreement...

Chapter 227: When Theres A Disagreement...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Upon hearing Yuan Xuans name, Xia Taos forehead was covered in cold sweat. How could hepare to the Third Young Master of Yuan Family? After seeing Xia Taos reaction, Zhao Ruoxinughed. Her brows were rxed as she sighed, So this is all that Director Xia have! Since you know that you cantpare to Yuan Xuan, you should stop pestering me. Ive got no room for any other man right now! Xia Tao looked as though his soul was drawn out of his body. He limped on the back of the chair and took a deep breath before saying, Xin Xin, you should know that Im not a man who ys around. I genuinely like you! Zhao Ruoxin turned her nose up to Xia Taos confession. Her arrogant look enraged him and she bruised a mans pride. Ruoxin, arent you afraid that I might expose you to the Yuan Family for rejecting me so firmly? Xia Tao suddenly said and there were traces of anger in his eyes. Zhao Ruoxin had a cold look on her face and a hint of viciousness shed through her beautiful eyes. She threw the cigarette bud into the rubbish bin, took a sip of coffee and grunted, Xia Tao, if I can recall, you have a ten-year-old son in primary school, right? Xia Taos entire body trembled slightly as he did not know why did Zhao Ruoxin mention about his child! Although youre not an absolutely outstanding man, youre still a director. Besides, you also have a wife and a cute son. Of course, before that, you have a mistress like me. Youre living such a smooth sailing life! Zhao Ruoxin paused suddenly and observed Xia Taos reaction. As expected, the mans breaths were getting a little incoherent. He cared about all the things that Zhao Ruoxin said! If we have a mutual breakup now, youll have everything except for a mistress. If youre willing to, I believe that youll have many younger and beautiful mistresses. But, if you choose to go against me... Zhao Ruoxin smiled coldly while she looked at Xia Taos ghostly pale face. Then, she said clearly, I will sue you for forcing yourself against women. Ill tell the police that you relied on your status as the vice director andmitted many crimes in City C. Now that I have the Yuan Family to back me up, dont you think that I can destroy you? Zhao Ruoxin looked extremely terrifying when she gritted her teeth. Ruoxin... you... why did you be like this? Xia Tao opened his eyes widely and looked at the woman who used to lie in his chest obediently. When did she turn into a flesh-eating beast... Zhao Ruoxin smiled coldly and said briefly without any emotions, Director Xia, if possible, I think its better if we stop contacting each other! Remember, beware of your social status if you go against me. Im just a mere woman and Ive got nothing left to lose. You better think about the price that youll need to pay before making a move! ... Zhao Ruoxin and Xia Tao left the coffee shop one after the other. Then, a girl with huge curls and sunsses next to their table also stood up. She paid for her coffee and walked towards the white Volkswagen at the entrance. After inserting the key into the keyhole, Mu Chenyan took off her wig and sunsses. After watching Zhao Ruoxins car driving into a distance, she started the car and followed along. Ever since the first night that Zhao Ruoxin entered the Yuan Family, Mu Chenyan had ordered some equipment online. For instance, the pepper spray that she used on Yuan Zhe and the mini camera used to capture the perverts in the subway! Although she could not tell why she decided to do that, it was better to be safe than sorry. Unexpectedly, she ended up using all of it... ... When Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu ran over to carry her bag and coat. Then, she said secretly, Young Master is back and it seems like hes very tired. He took a shower and went upstairs to rest. Mu Chenyan nodded and told Ah Fu to prepare some lightly-seasoned dishes for dinner. She also asked Ah Fu to make some red dates and lotus seeds curd. The woman walked to the master bedroom and saw that the man had changed into light-colored casual clothing. He was resting while he leaned his perfectly slender body against the bed rest with his eyes closed and hands crossed behind his head. Even when he was exhausted, it could not hinder his extraordinarily elegant aura. Mu Chenyan moved closer and wanted to put a nket on Yuan Xuan. However, the man could sense her getting closer by smelling the vague scent on her body. Then, he suddenly made a flip and pulled her along with the nket onto the bed. Mu Chenyan eximed, You... Before she couldplete her sentence, the man pressed his warm lips onto hers and swallowed her remaining words. Mu Chenyan was still confused, but her mind melted into a puddle from his kiss. You havent sleep for a whole night... arent... arent you tired? You... Mu Chenyan tried to push the mad man above her away and she was gasping for air while she spoke incoherently. Yuan Xuan did not say anything. His eyes were bright red and it looked dangerously misty. Then, he lowered his head and continued. He moved from her lips to her pale neck and bit her forcefully. While he was constraining himself, she could sense the pain that he was hiding... Yuan Xuan, youre hurting me! Mu Chenyan shouted in pain. She used her tiny hands to retaliate and fought him messily. Ever since the time that Yuan Xuan lost control and raped her because of the trap that Yin Shan set, he had never behaved like that ever since! Fortunately, he was able to control himself this time. When he head Mu Chenyan moaning in pain, he rxed his grip. His eyes were misty and affectionate. Then, his bites turned into tiny kisses, but he did not miss even a single inch of her body. His possessiveness was extremely obvious! Mu Chenyan opened her mouth widely and gasped for air. Her face was red and her heart was pounding. Then, she looked at Yuan Xuan with her misty and terrified eyes while murmuring, Yuan Xuan, clear... clear your head... She felt that the man in front of her was different from before. Clearly, he was hiding some emotions in his heart. Therefore, he lost control of his senses and was suffering badly. Mu Chenyans calling slowly woke Yuan Xuan up and he seemed like a caged beast. He scanned through the woman under him with his burning gaze, as if he wanted to swallow her alive. After a long while, the spellbound man said with his hoarse voice, Sorry, Little Chenyan! Did I hurt you? A faint sorrow shed through his eyes and there were traces of coldness in it. Mu Chenyan witnessed all of his emotions and she suddenly felt a little pain in her heart. This man will not act this way if he was not hurt deeply. She reached her hands out to caress Yuan Xuans dark eyes and said softly, Yuan Xuan, what happened? Is it... Yuan Xuans eyes darkened and he suddenly lowered his head to kiss her, so that she could not continue asking. This time, the man was no longer dominant. Instead, he was gentle and sentimental. Mu Chenyan felt weak all over, so she put her arms around his neck and moaned softly... ... The two of them were tangled together. The sound of heavy breaths blended with the sound of skin rubbing together... Yuan Xuan ravaged her fiercely this time, up until the sky had darkenedpletely. Both of them were very keen and they lost track of time. Suddenly, they were awakened by a knock on the door. Young Master, Mistress... Ah Fus gentle voice was hearding from the other side of the door. Mu Chenyan was covered in cold sweat from the shock. She pierced her nails into the mans skin, hinting him to stop. Yuan Xuan had no choice, so he shouted at the door annoyingly with his bright red eyes, What? He did not stop moving and he was panting slightly... Mu Chenyan pressed her lips together as she was extremely ashamed! Although Ah Fu was a young girl, she was not a fool. She stunned at the door and her trembling voice sounded as though she was tremendously embarrassed, Old Mistress sent someone over to pass a message. She asked you to go to the Upper Mansion after you finish your dinner... Chapter 228 - Yuan Xuan, I Have Something To Tell You

Chapter 228: Yuan Xuan, I Have Something To Tell You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Ah Fu was a young girl, she was not a fool. She stunned at the door and her trembling voice sounded as though she was tremendously embarrassed, Old Mistress sent someone over to pass a message. She asked you to go to the Upper Mansion after you finish your dinner... Okay! That mans low voice sounded extremely irritated! When Yuan Xuan carried the woman up from the bed, it was at dusk already and the view of the room was exquisite... After cleaning up, Yuan Xuan ate a little and rushed to the Upper Mansion. The spring breeze blew onto his face and there were only a few stars in the night sky. The shadows close to the green light b stone were mottled. Under the moonlight, the mansion quieted down, but who knew how many secrets were nned behind his back. Mu Chenyan stood at the front door of the Hibiscus Garden and waited for Yuan Xuan to return. She suddenly thought of an idea and she should have told Yuan Xuan everything the she knew about Zhao Ruoxin! ... When Yuan Xuan came back from the Upper Mansion, he had a dark look on his face. His piercing cold gaze and his dark shadow gave off an odd sense of alienation. The two of them had just gotten off the bed and did something extremely intimate. Initially, Mu Chenyan wanted to speak to him. However, the aura radiating from Yuan Xuans entire body cause her to swallow her words. She could tell that Yuan Xuan was a little tired. His gazended on Chenyan and his adams apple bobbed in his throat. He calmed his mind and said rather affectionately, Why are you waiting here? Why dont you go to sleep? Mu Chenyans heart was puzzled. She could tell that Yuan Xuan was forcing and restraining himself despite his affectionate tone. She did not have a heart made of ss, but she felt a piercing pain at the bottom of her heart. The woman hesitated for a moment, then she mustered up her courage and said, Yuan Xuan, I have something to tell you. I think theres something wrong with Zhao Ruoxin... Yuan Xuan heard her talking about Ruoxin. He looked into Mu Chenyans eyes and remained silent for a long time. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that his gaze was getting a little too cold and she did not know if she should continue talking. While she was hesitating, Yuan Xuan spoke, Zhao Yanni is also poisoned and shes being treated at the emergency department now! As Yuan Xuan spoke, he paused and looked at Mu Chenyans beautiful face. He then continued, Its hard to tell whether Zhao Yanni is alive or not as she ate some poisonous food previously. However, she tried to sneak out secretly in the middle of the night. When she had a poisonous attack, she fainted at the mountain behind Zong He Sanatorium. They only managed to find her this afternoon. Fortunately, she only ate a little and vomitted some! Zhao Ruoxin went to the hospital to take care of her mother already. The Old Mistress told me to spend the following few days in the hospital, so I might not be able toe back and have dinner with you... Yuan Xuans words caused Mu Chenyan to be dumbfounded! Even Zhao Yanni was poisoned? ? Previously, Mu Chenyan thought that this case was rted to Zhao Ruoxin. However, if Zhao Yanni was also poisoned, this hypothesis and her spection will not make sense. Who would be able to poison their own mother? Then, she should not have told Yuan Xuan about what she heard in the garden and the information that she got from tailing Zhao Ruoxin. Okay then, you should help Ruoxin take care of her mother... Mu Chenyan said in a low voice. The feeling of disappointment and sadness slowly spread through her heart. Mu Chenyan could vaguely felt Yuan Xuans attitude towards her. It was a little strange, but she did not know why. Yuan Xuan answered her, turned around and walked into the study room. ... Silence after sex caused the two of them to feel a little awkward. To avoid another face to face conversation, Mu Chenyan slept in early. Up until the middle of the night, Yuan Xuan was still not back yet. The woman got up half-way through her sleep as she was nning to get some water downstairs. The lights in the study room were still on and there were soundsing from the room. Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Xuan was still awake in the study room, so she pushed open the door. She then rubbed her eyes and ask in a gentle soft voice, Why arent you sleeping yet? It had been a long time since Yuan Xuan smoked and the study room was covered in smoke at this moment. Mu Chenyan started coughing as she was choking on the smoke. The man hurriedly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and walked towards her in huge steps. He scolded her while he walked, Why did youe here? Be good and go back to sleep! ( Boxno vel. co m ) Mu Chenyan was surrounded by his embrace and sheined softly, I cant sleep well if youre not sleeping. I came out for some water... Yuan Xuan did not say anything. He put her onto the bed and went downstairs alone to get some water. By the time he returned to the bedroom, he saw Mu Chenyan snuggling her head inside the nket. The look on the mans face softened and he passed the cup of water to her. Then, heforted, Finish it quickly and sleep! Yuan Xuan, Im investigating the Zong He case... Mu Chenyan took over the cup and took a sip. Then, she said softly without looking Yuan Xuan in the eyes. Yuan Xuan was stunned, even though he knew that this case was ced under the major crimes department and it was impossible that Mu Chenyan did not know about it. The change in expression on the mans face was very subtle, only a hint of hesitation shed through his crystal bright eyes. He lightly pursed his lips together and said calmly, This is your job and you should do as you please. Even so, please strike a proper bnce between work and rest! Mu Chenyan was very surprised. She thought that Yuan Xuan would stop her from participating after hearing this news. It seemed like she was being overly sensitive. Yuan Xuan went to take a shower in the bathroom. Mu Chenyan started at his back and she felt very uneasy. Mu Chenyan found it even weirder when he behaved like that. ... The following afternoon, Su Qingcheng went to the hospital again to investigate on the situation along with the family members of the victims. Su Qingcheng arrived early, so she parked her car at the roadside and waited for Mu Chenyan. When the woman traveled a long distance and rushed over, Su Qingcheng waved at her. Right after Mu Chenyan parked her car and before she could speak to Su Qingcheng properly, a familiar figure drew her attention. Zhao Ruoxin parked her red BMW somewhere not too far away from the parking area. She walked out of the hospitals esctor, soothed her straight long hair and looked around. She did not see Mu Chenyan standing next to Su Qingchengs car. She wore the shades that she took out from her bag and sprayed some perfume. Clicking sounds were made when she step her high heels on the marble floor. The clicking sounds were getting further away and that woman was walking very seductively. Zhao Ruoxin most probably came to visit Zhao Yanni. From Mu Chenyans perspective, Zhao Ruoxin did not seem to be grieving. Her eyes were calm and the strong perfume that she used masked the hospitals disinfectant scent. She pulled open the cars door and put her phone on her ears. It seemed like she was briefing the person on the other side of the phone. Her expression turned from dignified to rxed. When Mu Chenyan saw Zhao Ruoxins car leaving, she was still in a daze. Su Qingcheng did not know what happened, so she nudged Mu Chenyans elbow and asked, What are you looking at? Mu Chenyan came back to her senses and murmured, Nothing... ... In order to rescue this group of patients, the hospital invested in a great deal of manpower and material resources. The family members feelings were appeased. Moreover, this news was basically sealed off, so there was not any disturbance from the public. Thus, the situation in the hospital was rather peaceful. If it was not for Su Qingcheng, Mu Chenyan will definitely not be able to enter as a reporter. Mu Chenyan went to the nurses station first and found out that Zhao Yanni was staying at the intensive care unit. Even though she did not ingest too much food, she was being treated ratherte. Since a heavily poisoned individual had passed away, a depressing aura shrouded the hospitals bed-ward. Some heavily poisoned patients were still in the ICU, whereas the lightly poisoned patients were in normal bed-ward. Only those in the normal ward were allowed thepany of their family members.

Chapter 229: This Case Has Something To Do With The Members of The Yuan Family?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was not someone who was very sentimental and she had seen many separations and death. In the past when she was studying abroad in the UK, she secretly went to the middle east war zone with her friends before graduation. She saw many refugees dying ruthlessly in the camp and was able to remain calm while facing death. Thus, she became a volunteer out ofpassion and kindness. Even so, when she saw the patients at the in-patient ward today, she could not control the uneasiness in her heart. It felt like she knew everything but was not able to stop it... Most of the victims were patients whoter on recovered from mental illness. Thus, the credibility of their testimonies was very low and will not have any legal effects. As the representative of the police, Su Qingcheng came tofort the victims families and to understand the situation. While she was at it, she could also find out if there were any more clues to be discovered. There were two to three people living in each bed-ward. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan paid a visit to all the rooms and thest room that they visited was a big ward. The hospital was very crowded and there were a total of six patients in this room. Its too cruel. He was fine and was about to be discharged, but now he needs to be hospitalized again... The olddy at the bedside close to the door was looking at her husband with tears running down her face. Previously, she went there because of Zong Hes hardware conditions, but now it turned out to be a poisoning case! The two men by the bed next to it were looking at their unconscious daughter furiously. Su Qingchengforted, Rest assured, everyone. The police are now involved in the investigation and will soon give everyone an answer! The family members of the victims heard Su Qingchengs words and started sighing. Since it had happened already, they felt very helpless. Grandma, the surveince camera shows that you went to Zong He to visit your husband in the past few days. Is there anything unusual that you can still remember? Shu Qingcheng took out the record book and asked the olddy by the door. Most of the family members have gone to the police station to make a verbal report and Wu Huai assigned Su Qingcheng to track a few key targets. The olddy wiped her tears and thought, she had already said everything that she knew. Her husband wanted to leave the hospital in the past few days and she did try to convince him. Therefore, she seemed to be recalling any unusual incident that happened during that period of time. Mu Chenyan saw this, quickly took out her phone and showed the olddy a picture, Grandma, have you seen this girl going to Zong He? The olddy looked at the picture on the phone and her eyes lighted up as though she recalled something, Yes, Ive seen this girl. She went to Zong He two days before the incident. It seems like her mother lives there. She went to visit her mother and argued with her! Mu Chenyan thought that this was an unexpected reward, so she looked at Su Qingcheng in the eyes. Although Su Qingcheng did not know Zhao Ruoxin, she became extremely alerted after this sudden unexpected situation. Argued? Did you hear what they said? Mu Chenyan quickly asked. The olddy looked a little confused. Older people usually forget about the things that happened, so she had to put in more effort to recall the scene when being asked suddenly, If I can recall, her mother wanted to leave the hospital. Then, she told her mother that she will pick her up after it is done. That woman was not willing to and she pulled on the sleeves of her daughters clothes while crying... Her daughter was extremely disgusted and her tone was unbearably fierce. I found it weird at that time too! How can a daughter treat her own mother like that? So, it left a deep impression in my mind! Mu Chenyan felt as though her heart was jumping out of her throat. Could this incident be the thing that Zhao Ruoxin said? If she was really the one who ordered Zhao Yanni to poison the hospital, why would Zhao Yanni herself be poisoned? Qingcheng, when did the surveince camera break down? Mu Chenyan suddenly turned around and asked Su Qingcheng. On the 26th of March. Grandma, do you remember on which day did you see this girl? Su Qingcheng pointed at Mu Chenyans phone. The olddy lowered her head to think and went through her own phone. Then, she suddenly said in a low voice, Its the 26th of March! The day that I went, I took a picture of my old man and sent it to my son who is abroad. It is recorded here! Su Qingcheng took the olddys phone and looked at the time stated on the system record of the picture. It was indeed on that day! The incident happened on the night of the 27th of March! Mu Chenyan entire body felt very ufortable. It seemed like she was one step closer to the truth and she was feeling gloomier. Su Qingcheng dragged Mu Chenyan along and left. Then, she asked when they arrived at the parking area, Who is this girl? Why did you suspect her? Mu Chenyan smiled bitterly as it was a long story to tell. She really did feel a little puzzled when she was asked about Zhao Ruoxins status. Qingcheng, can I not say? Mu Chenyan had a cold look on her face and she was a little resistant. Then, she sat on the drivers seat wearily. As a policewoman, Su Qingcheng was naturally very sensitive. She had a persistent look on her face and she convinced her in a low voice, Chenyan, you cant hide something in this situation. This case caused a few people to die already. Even if youre not a policewoman, you are obliged to assist in solving this case and fight for justice! She pulled out Mu Chenyans car key. Then, this overly charming woman looked at Mu Chenyan with her zing eyes! Mu Chenyan had no choice. All she could do was shut her eyes and thought for a moment, If I have to say, then Ill need to start from Luo Hais old case from two to three years ago... Mu Chenyan initially did not want her colleagues to know about her past, but now that the story had yed out like this, she can no longer hide it from Su Qingcheng. Thus, she had no choice but to tell Su Qingcheng about her past bit by bit. Su Qingcheng did not expect Mu Chenyan to have been through so much. Especially when she heard about what happened in prison, it was tragic beyondpare. It was hard to imagine how a weak woman like her lived through those days. Towards the end, when Mu Chenyan was talking about Zhao Ruoxin, she might as well tell Su Qingcheng about what she found recently. Since she could not share it when Yuan Xuan, she needed someone to help her analyze the situation. After listening to Mu Chenyans story, Su Qingcheng pondered for a moment. Her delicate features seemed even more distinct and she suddenly said to Mu Chenyan, Zhao Ruoxin is indeed very suspicious! But we need evidence to prove it. The current situation does not seem hopeful. If you did not meet that olddy today, we will not have any clues in the direction of our investigation. More importantly, we wouldnt have thought about this woman. Even if we found a suspect, it is very difficult to find evidence! Firstly, the surveince camera is broken. The inte was hacked from outside and there isnt any direct evidence to prove that it is rted to this woman. Secondly, the olddy only heard the mother and daughter of the Zhao n argue. She wasnt sure if they were talking about poisoning the hospital, this is is just our spection. Even if she did it, it is likely that she might not be the mastermind behind it. Thirdly, and the most important point, her motive! There must be a motive for every case! What kind of deep grudge does this woman have with this patient for her to make such a crazy move? Mu Chenyan could not answer to Su Qingchengs series of analysis. It was true, what was her motive? Could it be that the person behind Zhao Ruoxin had a grudge with a mental illness recovering patient in the nursing home? The two women were filled with doubts but they could not figure anything out. Thus, all they could do was return to the police station. Su Qingcheng reported to Wu Huai about the situation in the hospital and did not mention the part about Mu Chenyan. She said that it was the olddy who thought of the suspect. Wu Huai heard what she said, picked up his phone and dialed a number. Half an hourter, Wu Ze rushed to the major crimes department. When he entered the door, he saw Wu Huai with a solemn look on his face and he hastily asked, Brother, you said that this case is rted to the members of the Yuan Family?

Chapter 230: It Has Something To Do With Your Bosom Friend, Third Missus Yuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai looked outside the door and led Wu Ze into his office. The prodigy of the legal industry, attorney Wu. Im sorry for calling you over when you have hundreds of important matters to attend to! It was a rare asion for such an uptight man like Wu Huai to make fun of his little brother. He even had a meaningful smile on his face. Brother, if you want to discourage me, you can tell me straight to the point! Wu Ze knew that Wu Huai had always looked down on those in the legal industry who liked to y with words. He was a man who will not give in to oppression and will revolt against injustice! Ill stop beating around the bush. You should know about the poisoning case. The detective today, Su Qingcheng went to the hospital for an investigation. Some family members of the victims heard that the adopted daughter of the Yuan Family, Zhao Ruoxin was conspiring against something with her mother! Wu Huai briefly told Wu Ze about the whole story and a hint of reluctance appeared in his eyes at the end, You should figure out that Shu Qingcheng is definitely not the one who found out about this information. It most likely has something to do with your bosom friend, Third Missus Yuan! As Wu Huai spoke, he paused and enjoyed watching his cousin brother getting embarrassed. ( Boxno vel. co m ) Wu Ze remained an elegant posture and there was a hint of a smile at the corners of his lips. Then, he said very frankly, Its very interesting how you defined Mu Chenyans status! Isnt it true? Wu Huai said in an unusual tone with a sly and casual smile, All these years, Ive never seen you pay so much attention to any woman. Now, youre using grandpa to pressure me again and again for Mu Chenyan. You even went to the city to settle a dispute and brought the news office here. You have gone through so much trouble for her! Dont tell me that you did all these just to fulfill your responsibility to take care of your friends wife!! Wu Ze smiled lightly after hearing what he said. This handsome man was born with an elegant temperament and he had a natural charming halo around him. No one could tell that he had the slightest uneasiness. Wu Zes slender long pale fingers had a very defined bone structure. He swept his fingers across the top of the table, picked up a cup of tea and started drinking. After a moment, he said, Brother has a quick mind and a pair of good eyes. Even if Im interested in this woman, I will not do anything out of the line. It seems like theres nothing brother should worry about. Wu Huai grunted and said in a low voice without raising his gaze, This case has involved the Yuan Family once again and your bosom friend knows about some insiders information. Who else can I talk to other than you? You called me over to prepare beforehand so that I can help you in case Yuan Xuan try to obstruct the investigation? Youre still fairly smart! Wu Huai said in a low and deep voice. As though the head of a bandit gang, he threw Mu Chenyans cases on the table. This girls old case from three years ago is not settled yet and she went to the prison for two years despite being innocent. The actual culprit that killed the Yuan Familys adopted daughter, Shu Qinger has not been caught yet. Now, were nning to interrogate the Yuan Familys adopted daughter. Moreover, that womans mother is also one of the victims. Do you think Yuan Xuan would just let it be? Even though Wu Huai was a crude person, as the captain of the major crimes department, he was definitely not all muscles and no brains. He was in charge of so many cases and he understood how big of an influence the aristocratic families have on Luo Hai. Since he was not close to Yuan Xuan, having Wu Ze by his side would make the investigation a little smoother. Youve sent someone to the Yuan Family already? Wu Ze thought about the woman who looked exactly the same as Shu Qinger and he was a little ufortable. At that time, Qingers death was extremely brutal. Her baby was being taken out of her body and her body was being heavily damaged. Besides that, her internal organs were also being damaged. Even Wu Ze who had worked as awyer for so long was boiling with anger after knowing how brutal and inhuman it was. Not yet. Im letting you know the situation here and Ill pass the matter with the Third Young Master Yuan to you! Wu Huai answered. In fact, youve made an unnecessary move. Yuan Xuan is not an unreasonable person who would abuse his power. If that adopted daughter is really suspicious, he will most probably not cover up for her. All youre doing is asking her over for interrogation. Its not like youre convicting her, so why are you so worried? As Wu Ze spoke, he had a hint of cold smile on his face, Could it be that even brother is afraid of him? Yuan Xuan shouldnt have frightened you to this extent! Wu Huai frowned and his face was getting a little red. He then said in an unhappy tone, Im afraid of him? Hmm, I just dont want to deal with businessmen. They are very clever. Theirwyers letter will arrive right after theyre brought to trial. You might be sitting here talking to me now, but you might be Yuan Xuans defendant tomorrow and say things like she has the rights to remain silent! As Wu Huai spoke, he looked at his cousin as though he was looking at a henchman... Wu Ze was left speechless, ... ... On the next day, Zhao Ruoxin went to the hospital at three in the afternoon to visit Zhao Yanni. She was being stopped by the police officers that Su Qingcheng brought along at the entrance of the intensive care unit. Zhao Ruoxin still had a calm andposed look on her face when she was in the interrogation room. Huai came to supervise the interrogation personally. Based on a one-sided observation, Wu Huai was indeed shocked when he saw Zhao Ruoxin. He had read through the case in the past for more than ten times. Therefore, he saw Shu Qingers picture when she was alive and after she was found dead. When Wu Huai saw her twin sister who looked so simr to her sitting in front of him, he felt extremely emotional. Zhao Ruoxin knocked her fingers on the table and answered the police officer who was interrogating her fluently with a smile on her face. This woman came prepared! Wu Huai looked at the live surveince camera in the interrogation room and Zhao Ruoxins answers to almost all of the police officers questions were perfect. It was supposed to be a sudden strike so that they could find some clues from the interrogation. What I mean by after its done refers to after her condition has stabilized, Ill get her out of the hospital. Whats wrong with that? Zhao Ruoxin smiled deeply, I think you should look for a hacker to check why the surveince camera is being hacked, instead of finding me! Besides, if you want to investigate me, you should consider my motive! Also, my mother is a victim in this case. As her family member, I would like to urge those in the police station to put in more energy in solving the case. Stop chasing after the wind and wasting time interrogating a victim! Zhao Ruoxin was very reasonable and Wu Huais head was hurting badly. He thought that a mere woman would let the cat out of the bag under such circumstances, but he did not expect her to answer so fluently. Even the police officer was dumbfounded. Were just testing her today! Wu Huai shook his head and said, This woman is indeed very suspicious. Shes not just an ordinary woman, but we cant solve a case based on our intuition. We need evidence! Mu Chenyan knew from the instance that Zhao Ruoxin arrived. Su Qingcheng looked at Mu Chenyan and saw that she had cold look on her face as she remained silent. A momentter. Captain, can the police check a persons phone call record? Mu Chenyan said suddenly. During Chinese New Years Eve, she had a phone call with a mysterious person. The other party seemed to have requested her to do something. Wu Huai looked at Mu Chenyan getting lost in her thoughts and he started walking around. After a short while, police officer Little Dong reported back, Miss Zhao requested to meet awyer! Wu Huai waved his hand, Tell her that she can find awyer but we have the rights to keep her in custody for 48hours! Jiang Bian, bring someone to the telmunicationpany and check this womans phone call record in the past two months! Wu Huai did not know why did he follow Mu Chenyans instruction. However, since they had zero clues about this case, the hacker who hacked the inte became the key person in this case. Nheless, it was very difficult to find that person. Now that Zhao Ruoxin had some suspicion, they had no choice but to follow her lead. Chapter 231 - Third Young Master Yuan, Why Make Such a Big Fuss?

Chapter 231: Third Young Master Yuan, Why Make Such a Big Fuss?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In the interrogation room, Zhao Ruoxin was informed that she would be detained for 48 hours. She was clearly very furious and she demanded to make a phone call back to the Yuan Family. Herints caused a few police officers to ask Wu Huai for help. This was exactly what Wu Huai was worried about. He intercepted her from the hospital in hopes of using the opportune moment to do a quick interrogation and avoid the Yuan Family from meddling in. He was not afraid of the Yuan Family, but without solid evidence, he would have to release her from custody after 48 hours. What more, the aristocratic families liked to involvewyers at the slightest provocation and it was very annoying! Tell her that theres no need for her to contact anyone when shes being kept under custody! Wu Huai thought that he might as well get through it despite the consequences. He decided to do things with strong measures! Zhao Ruoxins request was denied and she surprisingly calmed down. She kept her mouth shut and treated the police officers coldly. Zhao Ruoxins phone call records arrived soon after and it showed that she had phone calls with severalwork numbers. The lengths of the phone calls were rather long and very frequent. It was definite that those were phone calls that hackers made using the Inte. Even the telmunicationpany could not provide actual information and locations of the other parties. Wu Huai felt that this woman was getting even more suspicious, but the investigation got into a dead end once again. After all, they could not prove that this woman was working with hackers based on the fewwork phone calls. There would be no meaning to it even if they were to hold her custody for 48 hours. Yuan Xuan might meddle and it would make things even more difficult in the future. As they were hesitating, Little Dong reported that Wu Ze and the Third Young Master of the Yuan Family had arrived. News of Yuan Xuan rushing to the police station with Wu Ze also alerted Mu Chenyan. She did not expect Yuan Xuan to arrive that quickly. He even brought awyer and Tian Qi along... Captain Wu, Im here to pick up my people! Yuan Xuan wore a ck tailored suit and a light color shirt with refined, diamond cufflinks. The man was tall and he had an indifferent expression on his face. His tone was so calm that no one could tell if he had any other emotions. He was not angry nor irritated, but he had a natural arrogant aura. He stood up straight in the office of the third major crimes department under the crowds gaze. Mu Chenyan could see everything clearly in her office. This man was here to pick up Zhao Ruoxin! A feeling suddenly rushed into her heart During the wedding three years ago, if this man could protect her with half of the aura that he had today, she would not need to struggle to live him for the rest of her life. Mu Chenyan finally realized why she could not remove the thorn in her heart. It was not only because of the things that Mu Chenwu told her, but it was also partly due to her not trusting Yuan Xuan. In Mu Chenyans mind, she could not let go of the fact that he did not protect her three years ago and caused her to be imprisoned for two years! When she saw him picking up Zhao Ruoxin, a dreary smile curled up at the corners of the womans lips. She wanted to forget about it, but it was too difficult! Most of the people in the police station have seen the sessor of the Yuan Family. The oppressing aura radiating from Yuan Xuans body caused them to look towards their captain at the same time. Wu Huai was an old fox and he was very familiar with the ways of the world. He had suffered many hardships in this position and came into contact with many influential officials. With Yuan Xuan now rushing over, Wu Huai, who was also an outstanding member of an aristocratic family in Luo Hai, behaved modestly despite being a senior. Third Young Master Yuan, why make such a big fuss? Wu Huai changed the way he acted usually and put on a big smile on his face. He was friendly and his usual crude bandit-like behavior was gone. He then continued, We looked for Miss Zhao to understand some circumstances. Is Captain Wu done? If youre done, Ill take her away. My grandmother is very worried as she cant see Ruoxin at home! Yuan Xuan replied calmly. Despite his voice being cold with a stern tone, his piercing cold eyes contradict with warmth and modest. People were confused looking at him! Wu Huai was not a fool. It was impossible that he could not see through this mans temper behind his docile facade. The Yuan Familys Third Young Masters noble status came with an extremely huge ego. He never needed to negotiate with anyone within the boundaries of Luo Hai! Haha, wait for a moment, Third Young Master. We still need Miss Zhaos cooperation in a small matter... Weve brought ourwyer here. If Captain Wu would like to negotiate, Attorney Wu will help us settle it! Right after Yuan Xuan was done talking, Wu Huai made a soft grunt with his nose and gave Wu Ze an I knew that you were a henchman look... Wu Ze shrugged and shook his head helplessly. ... Half an hourter, Zhao Ruoxin followed behind Wu Ze with an extremely aggrieved look on her face and walked out of the interrogation room. An elegant man was sitting with his legs crossed inside Captain Wu Huais office, sipping the tea that Wu Huai made personally. The immeasurable force field generated by the two men staring at each other illuminated the dim office. Wu Huai reacted very calmly as he watched his greatest suspect being taken away as if nothing had happened. Third Young Master, Ill be frank with you today. If we find any more evidence to prove that this case is rted to Miss Zhao, we might need to trouble her toe over to assist the investigation! Yuan Xuans dark pupils contracted slightly and he had a smile on his face as usual. It was indeed a smile that allowed no toleration. I will support Captain Wu! Ill send you a huge gift tomorrow! As Yuan Xuan spoke, he nodded towards Ruoxins direction and gave her a signal to leave with Tian Qi first. Zhao Ruoxin was not willing to as she wanted to leave with Yuan Xuan. Nheless, she saw a cold rejection look on the mans face. After Zhao Ruoxin left, Wu Huais gaze suddenly turned sly and he said in an excited tone, Third Young Master has some important clues about this case? Oh? Captain Wu, when did I say that? Yuan Xuan suddenly put on an arrogant look on his face, but he still acted rather modestly. Third Young Master, stop pretending. Just know you said that you have a huge gift for me! Wu Huai smiled even more slyly and Yuan Xuan was getting a headache from watching him. The man paused for a moment and said calmly, The few hackers that you are tracing, they once hacked the system of Zhong Heng International and tried to retrieve ssified information about thepany. Therefore, they were marked by my subordinates and they found out their identities! I didnt think that they were the same batch of hackers behind this poisoning case! Wu Huai was extremely excited after hearing that, so he stood up and walked around. He rubbed his palms together and asked eagerly with bloodshot eyes, Third Young Master, do you have their address? Yuan Xuan nodded without any doubts, I wanted to catch them personally and bring them to you tomorrow. If Captain Wu can do it, then Ill just rx in joy! Okay, theres no need to trouble Third Young Master! Ill send my people there! Wu Huai immediately gave an order to his subordinates as this matter should not be dyed any further. Zhao Ruoxin had been interrogated for two hours already, so they might have escaped. Rest assured, Captain Wu. I have people watching them, so they wont be able to escape! But... Yuan Xuan paused and his gaze suddenly turned piercingly vicious. He then said in a ferocious and cold tone, These people might be involved with the Mu Family. Captain Wu, do you understand what I mean? Wu Huai was stunned for a brief moment before understanding what he meant. Then, he said with a suppressed voice, Dont worry, Ill exin to Mrs. Yuan. Chapter 232 - Why Was This Woman Displaying Irritating Expressions Every Day?

Chapter 232: Why Was This Woman Disying Irritating Expressions Every Day?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai was dumbfounded. When the cunning man saw Yuan Xuans resolute expression, he inwardly understood him somewhat. He lowered his voice and said, Dont worry, Ill solve Mrs Yuans issue. Yuan Xuan suddenly smiled faintly and his eyes darted outside. His deep and sonorous voice politely said, Thank you for your trouble, Captain Wu! ... Chenyan,e home with me? Yuan Xuan tugged at his sapphire-blue tie as he walked out of Wu Huais office. There was a warm smile on his handsome face when he looked at Mu Chenyan who was exiting the office. This was one of the rare asions when both of them encountered each other in a public ce. ( Boxno vel. co m ) Mu Chenyan looked at the clock on the wall and ran her fingers through her hair to tidy it before she quietly said, Work ends in 15 more minutes so you can go home first. Her expression was frosty while she used a professional and business-like tone. It seemed as though she was not the fascinating, enchanting, and charming woman of many postures whoid underneath him every night... Yuan Xuan understood her state of mind when he saw her indifferent expression. Although none of her colleagues were around, she was still maintaining a distance between him and herself. Alright, Ill wait for you at the parking area then! Yuan Xuan restrained his tone and kept it as gentle as possible while the pupils in his dark eyes constricted. Up to you. Mu Chenyan was feeling moody as well and clearly did not want to pay attention to him. The woman took a pile of documents to the printing room. She did not even turn her head to nce at Yuan Xuan when she ced the documents into the photocopier. It looked like this was not as simple as merely avoiding arousing her colleagues suspicion. Yuan Xuan emitted icy chills throughout his entire body. Why was this woman disying these irritating expressions every day? Mu Chenyan could always maintain herposure while attacking him. Yuan Xuans heart had been stifled in spite of the numerous things that happened these two days. He had never sarcastically spoken to her but this woman had struck first and was now throwing a tantrum? Alright, if Mistress was energetic enough to kick up a fuss, her physical stamina should not disappoint too. She should be fine once she had exercised more to exhaust herself. Yuan Xuans long legs stepped forward without stopping while a tinge of resentment formed in his heart. Mu Chenyan quietly sighed in relief once she saw that he had left. However, the distractions in her heart still made her uneasy. Huh! This man came here today to pick up Zhao Ruoxin. Was he not upied with numerous other matters every day? Did he not have his secretary, assistant, and awyer? He had gotten so many people involved for such a minor problem. When she thought of the misery that she felt when she was taken away at her own wedding, an aching sensation continuously stirred in Mu Chenyans heart although she had never felt jealous before... Ruoxin and Tian Qi had a hard time seeing Yuan Xuan walk out of the office building after they waited at the parking area for half an hour. The woman rushed towards him with quicken footsteps. A troubled look was disyed across her entire face when she said, Brother Xuan, they actually suspected me! I dont even know how I offended anyone... Yuan Xuans eyebrows were furrowed slightly when he looked at Zhao Ruoxin. Heforted her in a soft tone, Its just the polices routine procedure, dont worry about it You should frequent the hospital these few days to apany your mother more. Dont worry about these things because Im here. Zhao Ruoxin obediently nodded and repeatedly thanked him, saying, Thank you, Brother Xuan. I dont know what I wouldve done if you werent here today! Those police officers were really creating trouble on purpose when they came and interrogated me after merely listening to some rumors... Hearing herints, Yuan Xuans face was nk as his mind was not present. He gazed in the direction of the offices elevator. His heart was troubled as he kept thinking about Mu Chenyans icy manner. ... Zhang Xin finished work at 5:15p.m. Before he left, he asked Mu Chenyan if she wanted to leave together. As usual, Mu Chenyan politely turned down the enthusiastic young man, saying, You go first. Im going to tidy up the cases progress. The editor said that this case cant be swept under the carpet even if they tried to hide it so we can openly report it. Zhang Xin scratched his head, a disappointed expression shrouded his face when he thought of how Mu Chenyan was really untouchable although he had interacted with her for such a long time. She would always politely pay for the snacks that he bought for her. Both of them rarely spoke to each other aside from discussing the usual work matters. When the conversation involved her personal life, Mu Chenyan would always divert it politely. After spending time with her for several weeks, Zhang Xins heart became discouraged when he thought of how he had not discovered whether Mu Chenyan had a boyfriend or not. Furthermore, he had never seen this woman disy any superfluous emotions either. Although an extremely intelligent and icy beauty like herself did not act like a goddess, she was not merely an earthly mortal either. A woman like her who had experienced real life could not be controlled by just anyone! After another 20 minutes had passed, Mu Chenyan guessed that Yuan Xuan would not patiently wait an hour for her. She then took her backpack and prepared to leave after dawdling in the office for half a day. She had just stepped toward the entrance of the elevator when she saw another familiar figure there. Wu Ze looked as though he had waited for a long time. Seeing Mu Chenyans slim figure walking out from the side of the office with an enchanting aura, he strode over toward her. Several shrouds of smoke were still rising from the cigarette butt that the man had just only stubbed inside the ashtray at the corner of the elevators entrance. Chenyan, youre finally willing toe out! As he had not seen her for a long time, Wu Ze could not fully conceal the excitement in his tone. Huh? Big Brother Wu, why havent you left yet? Mu Chenyan was very surprised. She had been hiding from Yuan Xuan because she did not want to follow him home but she did not want to see Wu Ze waiting for her here either. I havent seen you in such a long time but since I happened toe here today, I wanted to ask you about recent developments. Wu Ze exined, his pale blue jacketplementing his refined aura. Seeing Mu Chenyan attentively gazing at him, the 186cm tall man got rather embarrassed. He had actually thought of visiting her when he came yesterday. However, when Wu Huai saw through his intentions, he reluctantly suppressed that impulse to prevent his older brother from making fun of him. He came here with Yuan Xuan today because this case involved Zhao Ruoxin and Mu Chenyan. Hence, he wanted to look for Mu Chenyan so he could understand the situation better. On the other hand, he had already openly said that he wanted to chat with her. If Id known beforehand, I wouldnt have purposely taken my time and I wouldvee down earlier instead... Mu Chenyans murmurs caused Wu Ze to stare nkly before he immediately understood that she was avoiding Yuan Xuan. Wu Ze secretly smiled. Although he was a man of noble character, he still had a selfish side. He thought of how Yuan Xuan could not seed despite having a beautiful woman toe home to and embrace every day. If he was in his shoes, he would probably not be able to restrain himself to dote on her. What happened? Have you fallen out with him again? Wu Zes polite manner made it impossible to discern the mocking tone in his voice. He had the demeanor of a neighborhood older brother. This made Mu Chenyan recall that the ce where the Mu Family previously lived when she was younger was also located in a wealthy suburb. Meanwhile, there was a person named Yang who lived in the vi beside them. After she had gotten married, the youngdy from the Yang Family ran home after fighting with her husband every day. Her young, dashing older brother from the Yang Family would console his sister, saying, Its alright. As long as Im here, I wont let you suffer. Ill teach that brat a lesson if hees here... Mu Chenyan also had an older brother. However, Mu Chenwu was 10 years older than her and had an unrestrained personality. He rarely took care of his younger sister because most of his energy was focused on fooling around with women everywhere. Conversely, Wu Ze seemed more like her actual brother instead... Chapter 233 - The Mistress Is Finally Willing to Come Out!

Chapter 233: The Mistress Is Finally Willing to Come Out!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze saw that Mu Chenyan had stered a smile on her face despite remaining silent. He did not know what she was thinking about but he merely assumed that she was avoiding the topic of Yuan Xuan. He smiled saying, It looks like Ive forgotten once again that I shouldnt always bring up the subject of Yuan Xuan. When Mu Chenyan saw that the elevator had arrived, she said, Lets talk while were walking. My cars parked beside the road. If youre free tonight, why dont you call Yuan Xuan out so we can have a meal together? Wu Ze said it in a casual manner. Since the three of them had yet to have a meal together, this was not an excessive suggestion. This was perfectly reasonable because he was Yuan Xuans friend and also Mu Chenyanswyer who handled her case that year. Mu Chenyan hesitated for a while before she quietly said, I dont feel like eating with him. Her expression was extremely cold. She easily resembled an aloof goddess when this dull expression appeared on her already dangerously enchanting little face. Wu Ze, ... When she saw Wu Zes somewhat puzzled expression, Mu Chenyan exined. Hes very busy. Didnt you see that he had already left with his little sister Ruoxin? Wu Ze secretly smiled. This was the first time he had heard a jealous tone escape Mu Chenyans mouth. Frankly, Id really like to understand Zhao Ruoxin better. Wu Ze was being honest. Despite his status as herwyer, he was also Yuan Xuans friend. Additionally, he also harbored special affections towards Mu Chenyan. When Zhao Ruoxin, who had certain close blood rtionships with Shu Qinger, appeared out of the blue and lived in the Yuan Family Mansion, Wu Ze secretly avoided her when he saw her harmless appearance after he had bailed her out just now. After they had exited the elevator, Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and said slowly, I was indeed the one who provided the police with the lead on Zhao Ruoxin this time! Wu Ze was not surprised. He nodded and said, Many of her actions were certainly suspicious. Could it be that Yuan Xuan hasnt realized? Im unsure whether he knows or not but youve seen todays situation as well. Yuan Xuan is protecting her. The incident that happened three years ago... You know about that too... Mu Chenyan was faintly choking back sobs as she spoke. She wholly swallowed back some of the words that were about to escape her mouth while a teardrop lingered at the corner of her eye... Wu Ze knew that her heart was troubled. Yuan Xuan had note forward to defend her at the first instance when that incident urred three years ago, making the matter a thorn in her heart. Chenyan, perhaps this is a painful topic in Yuan Xuans heart... Yes, its definitely a painful topic to him! Mu Chenyan could not bear to hear other people making excuses for Yuan Xuan. She continued, I was the one who deserved all of this! Mu Chenyan was finally unable to hold herself back anymore as she spoke. The gentle woman sobbed quietly, her stifled feelings thatsted the entire afternoon now turned into troubled tears. Wu Ze panicked and took some tissue paper out from his pocket and gave it to her so that she could wipe her tears. His tone was somewhat impatient when heforted her, saying, I empathize the trouble that you went through and the pain that you suffered at that time... Wu Ze who was usually an eloquent and well-known first-ratewyer had suddenly be slow-witted and inarticte now. Fortunately, Mu Chenyan was not one of those frail women who would purposely trouble other people. After crying for a short while, she realized that she had lost control of her emotions. She embarrassingly wiped her tears away and sobbed, My heart was filled with unhappiness for a long time but there was no one whom I could speak to. When I saw you today, I thought of you like my older brother because Ive always felt that we were close. Thus, I could not stop myself from crying... When Wu Ze heard her say that she felt close to him, a warm feeling spread throughout the depths of his heart for some time. He had always thought that he could be the warm male rival by a stroke of luck but he had only discovered now that he was always ying the role of her older brother instead... Wu Ze bitterly smiled for a while. However, what was going through his mind? You can think of me as your older brother since Mu Chenwu isnt here with you! Wu Ze spoke sincerely. He never had any intentions of stealing someone elses lover. It was already good enough that he could stand in for the role of her older brother. However, he could no longer fall back on that role once Mu Chenwu had returned... As he spoke, Wu Ze took thest towelette in his hand and passed it to her, saying, Hurry up and clean your pretty little face. Dont let other people think that I bullied you! Mu Chenyan stopped crying and smiled as she took the towelette. She could not help but nkly stare when she unconsciously nced in the direction of her own car from the corner of her eye. Yuan Xuans signature Koenigsegg sports car was parked right next to her own car... Yuan Xuan alighted from the sports car and strode over with his long legs. His posture was carefree and unrestrained, it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time. However, rage in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed. The Mistress is finally willing toe out! Yuan Xuans tone was low and his voice was magnificent. Meanwhile, his expression was filled with coldness while the smile on the corners of his lips did notck any hints of mocking. He had waited in the car for her for more than an hour while she enthusiastically chatted to a man with evil intentions at the exit of the elevator. Moreover, had she also been pitifully crying while telling the other party about her various troubles? Had he treated her so badly? Wu Ze fixed his gaze on Yuan Xuan and wondered how this little boy could act like a terribly pretentious prick. He did not care for his wife but took great pains for a woman who mysteriously appeared. Could it be that he could not see how much Little Chenyans heart was suffering? Why was he acting like this? Mu Chenyan clearly had not thought that Yuan Xuan had not meant it as a casual remark when he said that he would wait for her in the car park. This man had really waited for her in the underground parking area. More importantly, he had not contacted or pestered her although she had onlye out more than an hourter... You really didnt leave... Mu Chenyans face heated up as she felt especially embarrassed. I wouldnt have seen Mistress beautiful tear-stained face if Id left, right? Hmph! As he spoke, Yuan Xuansrge hands had already pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace, making the overtone of his deration of dominance extremely clear. Thats right, I previously told you to call Mu Chenyan sister-inw if you ran into her. Say it once for me to hear. These words were directed at Wu Ze. Yuan Xuan waspletely serious when he said this and did not seem like he was joking at all. Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. Wu Zes head unconsciously ached. It seemed as though this man truly had an infinite number of issues when it came to women. Wu Ze cast a nce at him. His voice was filled with contempt when he said, Hmph! You may be f*cking crazy but I wont be a part of this madness! It would be really awkward for Wu Ze to say this in front of Mu Chenyan. Nheless, he had already secretly cursed Yuan Xuan in his heart several hundred times. Is the greatwyer Wu Ze too embarrassed to say it? Yuan Xuans voice was filled with malice when he gleefully said, Whether or not you call her that, her status as your sister-inw remains. Hmph, he wanted to stand in for her brother? That was impossible! When Wu Ze heard that Yuan Xuan was clearly jealous, he faintlyughed and said, I can tell that Third Young Master Yuans mind is stillpletely sober because he hasnt drunk any alcohol! When he saw that Yuan Xuans expression had remained unchanged but was now steady and natural instead, Wu Ze coldly continued, Thus, please remember that Miss Mu is your true wife whom married into your prestigious family. The other misceneous individuals and insignificant people shouldnt even bepared to Mrs Yuan despite moving back to live with the Yuan Family. Itd be better for you to waste less of your efforts on them! As he spoke, Wu Ze strode away like a proud peacock, leaving the back of his head for Yuan Xuan to look at. Mu Chenyans mind waspletely perplexed. She was at a loss with how to deal with the two mens extremely childish behavior. Yuan Xuan loosened his tight grip on her slender waist when he saw that Wu Ze had left. When he saw Mu Chenyans gaze drifting about while a cold and indifferent expression remained on her face as she continued to ignore him, the mans own expression slightly darkened. He unhappily said, Have you not finished reflecting yet, Mrs Yuan? He took long strides towards his car as he spoke. Chapter 234 - The Man with an Aristocratic Upbringing Who Acted like a Local Tyrant

Chapter 234: The Man with an Aristocratic Upbringing Who Acted like a Local Tyrant

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan briefly groaned while trailing him. She walked to the front of her own little car and had just taken her car keys out before she could only hear the mans muffled voice said, Get in my car! Mu Chenyan paused before her little face turned puzzled with a tinge of adorable stubbornness. She thought to herself, What for? During her moment of hesitation, Yuan Xuan impatiently continued, Yan Jun wille and drive your carter so just get in mine! Mu Chenyan had initially thought of declining when she saw the frosty look on Yuan Xuans face. However, when she recalled the mans various mean spirited actions earlier, she merely gave up when she thought of how an obedient woman should not fight with a man. ... Yuan Xuan speedily drove his sports car and got on the elevated highway in the blink of an eye. They were not returning to the mansion. The scenery along the way waspletely different from that of West Hill. After being on the road for more than ten kilometers, Mu Chenyan could not suppress her anger anymore. She quietly asked, Where are you taking me? Dont ask! This was the first time that Yuan Xuans words wereced with anger when he spoke to Mu Chenyan. However, his attitude was lukewarm while his eyes continued looking at the traffic in front. He held the steering wheel with his distinctly-jointed slender fingers. The faint smell of pine on his body that was mixed with the scent of mint-vored nicotine and tobo was somewhat intoxicating. ( Boxno vel. co m ) Light golden hues reflected off his side profile under the setting sun while his long eyshes could not conceal the coldness in his eyes. His high nose bridge was the only part that could lighten the mood of others. That was also the part of him that Mu Chenyan previously liked the most. However, Mu Chenyan was not in the mood to be lovestruck now. Moreover, she had a temper as well. If he did not permit her to ask, then she would not do so. She offered him the back of her head in response. Both of them remained silent along the journey. As the vehicle traveled on the road, this first-ss sports car speedily whistled past the scenery in an arc-like motion. The evening mist was thick and heavy. As the final red evening glow vanished from the corners of the sky, moonlight appeared. Stars scattered about the stillness while the motley shadows of trees could be seen. Severalrge words that spelled out Liu Li Vi were written on the mansions front door that possessed an unusually imposing manner. The main part of the castle was an English-style building with a towering dignified air. Mu Chenyan had known long ago that Yuan Xuan owned this mansion under his name. This was his yground in the extremely expensive area that was Luo Hai. He had stayed here at Liu Li Vi when he previously brought Zhao Ruoxin over to sketch at Wintry Lake. Amidst the confusion, she did not know how Yuan Xuan had tricked her into quietly following him from behind. Yuan Xuans arrival caused the entire mountain vi to be busy. When the man entered the vi, the maids who were permanently stationed here surrounded him and took off his coat and hung it in the closet. Next, they brought slippers for him to change into. The man with an aristocratic upbringing acted like a local tyrant here. The kitchen had started bing busy as well. It seemed as though they had made sufficient preparations for their masters arrival much earlier. A 40 year old woman who appeared to be a housekeeper took small quick steps as she strode over to greet him. She briefly took in Mu Chenyan with a humble gaze before she lowered her voice and gently said, You must be Mistress. Sir has prepared a room on the second floor for you so please follow me. Mu Chenyan heard her call Yuan Xuan sir instead of Third Young Master or even just Young Master. It looked like this ce was Yuan Xuans realm. Over here, he was not the Yuan Familys sessor but the master of his own domain instead. Yuan Xuan ignored her and went straight to the mansions wine cer instead. As the man was fond of the bottle, drinking some red wine would probably be the best way for him to rest and recover from his fatigue after a long drive. Mu Chenyan was only in the mood to carefully take in this castle after Yuan Xuan had left. Liu Li Vi was a mansion that Yuan Xuan had bought after he returned from Ennd. It was rumored that its previous owner was called Shen and he belonged to the older generation of one of Luo Hais aristocratic families. The old man of the Shen Family had the same ranking and respected status in his family hierarchy as Old Master Yuan. He was also considered as one of Country Zs founding fathers. However, the Shen Family was ruined during his fathers generation due to certain reasons. Thus, they were expelled while the Shen Family became destitute and broken up. Hence, the old mansion fell into the governments hands. Previously, there were people who nned to involve his subordinates as well. Nheless, this exceptional mansion was never sold despite being auctioned. The reason for that was because they were worried that the members of the Shen Family who went into exile overseas would return and harass them. It was rumored that the descendants of the Shen Family had gathered numerous forces from the underworld while they were abroad. Thus, although the Shen n Mansion was certainly tantalizing, it was potentially dangerous to obtain it as well. Yuan Xuansrgest expense when he first returned from Ennd was spent on purchasing this hundred-year-old mansion from the auction house. Once it was taken care of, the previously dpidated mansion was restored to its former glory. The hall on the first floor was 10 meters high and entirely filled with 4-meter long dangling crystal chandeliers that illuminated the hall in brilliant lights. Meanwhile, the white marble spiral staircase that led to the second and third floors was decorated with decorative carved patterns while the floor was covered in marble as well. Paintings were hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor of the ascending steps. These were all masterpieces of the Renaissance period. Mu Chenyan was not well-versed in art but she was drawn to every painting nheless because their aesthetic values were far too high. There was one painting that Mu Chenyan felt like she recognized from the past. When she carefully looked at the inscription of the artists name, it wrote Shu Qinger... Mu Chenyan fixed her gaze on that painting before she became despondent. Thest time she saw Shu Qinger in Ennd was when Yuan Xuan wanted to return home to his own country. Qinger came from Italy to send Yuan Xuan off and simultaneously gave Yuan Xuan a painting to take home. The housekeeper led Mu Chenyan to a spacious bedroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor. The woman had a humble attitude when she smiled at Mu Chenyan and said, You can call me Housekeeper Liu. Hello, Sister Liu! Mu Chenyan loudly greeted her in a rxed manner. Sister Liu looked Mu Chenyan up and down again. Her heart was filled with indescribable joy when she said, Sir has such good taste! Upon hearing that, Mu Chenyan lowered her head and silently smiled. Sister Liu carefully briefed her, saying, Mistress, you can go and bath first because dinner will only be served in about half an hour. The pajamas that Sir has prepared for you have already been ced inside the closet. If its necessary, I can get Cuier toe over and attend to you? That wont be needed, Ill be fine on my own. Although Mu Chenyan originated from the Mu Family, she was not used to the extravagance of the Yuan Family. Sister Liu turned on the water in the bathroom and properly set the water temperature before she filled the bathtub with rose petals and floral essence. Inparison to the simple style of Hibiscus Garden, Liu Li Vi clearly seemed too luxurious. Once Sister Liu had left, the exhausted Mu Chenyan quickly jumped into the enormous bathtub and bathed to her hearts content. The flower petals swirled around the smooth skin and muscles of her entire body. She really loved this rose petal bath. After getting out of the bathtub, Mu Chenyan wrapped herself in a towel and found numerous sets of sleepwear in the closet. However, Mu Chenyan could not find one that was suitable despite searching for a long time. These were various types of sexy sleepwear but there were clearly too skimpy! It was so revealing that she could not even directly look at it. Mu Chenyans good mood disappeared from her heart. What in the world was Yuan Xuan trying to do? ... The man waited in the dining room for a long time. The dishes that were arranged across the entire table all contained dishes that Mu Chenyan liked. However, that woman had yet toe downstairs and the foot of the staircase waspletely silent. Seeing Yuan Xuan elegantly leaning against the back of his chair and casting a faint serene gaze towards the second floor, Sister Liu perceptively said, Sir, should I go and call Mistress over? Yuan Xuan put down his wine ss and waved his hand, saying, Ill go myself. Since he had already washed up in another room, he changed into afortable set of dark blue casual clothing before his long legs strode forward. He stepped on the white furry carpet in the bedroom as he walked inside. Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan was wrapped in a bath towel, crouching on the floor in the closet in an awkward predicament. She was muttering to herself, What the hell is he doing? How can I wear this? The pink bath towel was only wrapped up till around her chest, exposing the womans fine and smooth shoulders. Under the warm light of the closet, an enchanting glow reflected off her... Chapter 235 - He Had Actually Prepared Clothes like These for Her to Wear

Chapter 235: He Had Actually Prepared Clothes like These for Her to Wear

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The pink bath towel was only wrapped up till around her chest, exposing the womans fine and smooth shoulders. Under the warm light of the closet, an enchanting glow reflected off her... Yuan Xuan quietly leaned against the doorway and looked at Mu Chenyans embarrassed face. She could not seem to pick a set of lingerie that would cover her. He had done this on purpose indeed. Otherwise, he would not have brought her to Liu Li Vi without informing her beforehand. While Mu Chenyan was stuck in this difficult position, she suddenly noticed the man waiting at the doorway, expectantly waiting for something interesting to happen. He was smiling while harboring evil intentions. She furiously blushed and angrily stood up while tightly clutching the bath towel against her chest. Her little face was flushed when she said, Do you feel like a viin who has gotten his way? Mu Chenyan pointed at the sleepwear on the floor before she firmly asked, You did this on purpose, didnt you? After a shower, it was a habit of hers to automatically stuff the clothes that she had removed into the wash basin. Today was no exception. Thus, when she came out of the bathroom and noticed that she did not have any clothes to wear, she suddenly realized that she had fallen into Yuan Xuans trap. Youre right, Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuan had no intention of denying it at all. There was not a single hint of embarrassment on his handsome face when he bluntly said, I certainly did it on purpose. Yuan Xuans gloomy mood slowly improved as he continued to revel in her embarrassment. His gaze could not leave the beautiful sight before his eyes for a single moment. His wifes appearance and figure were both desirable. Although she was on the skinnier side, there was still a lot to appreciate. It was not surprising that other people kept thinking about her. Hmph, it was unfortunate for them that in the end, the person who would get to enjoy this beauty was him. Mu Chenyan was so upset that her chest ached. Nheless, she adhered to her principles that a wise man would not fight when the odds were against him. She merely endured this and lowered her voice, saying, How do you expect me to wear these clothes out for a meal? Why dont you just get Sister Liu to lend me some of the maids clothes first and Ill improvise... I wouldnt like that! Yuan Xuan bluntly rejected her suggestion. He possessed the manner of a magnificent aristocratic young man but he was secretly a despicable pervert on the inside. He had actually prepared clothes like these for her to wear. Mu Chenyan was speechless. She mentally cursed him several thousand times but the signature gentle smile of a loving woman remained on her face. The woman rose and approached Yuan Xuan, saying, Ill wear whatever you like once were back at Hibiscus Garden, alright? Its inappropriate to do it here now... Since Ah Fu was the only other person at Hibiscus Garden, she could somewhat rx a bit more and allow him to behave in a reckless manner. Conversely, there were probably more than 10 people in this castle! Yuan Xuan pretended to ponder before he suddenly opened his mouth and slowly said, You wont even need this once were back at Hibiscus Garden. The woman only understood what he meant after thinking for a long time. She was so embarrassed that her face suddenly turned bright red and her earlobes heated up. She bit her bottom lip firmly while a pitiful glow stirred in her big ck eyes. She suppressed her rage and sweetly asked, What exactly do you want? There was a hint of danger hidden within Yuan Xuans smile. He could smell the scent of rose petals and floral water when he slowly approached her. Her unique womanly scent also lingered on her damp hair. He maliciously said, Wear one of these pieces downstairs and have a meal with me. Mu Chenyan inwardly wailed for a brief moment. It was over. There was no way that she could escape today, nor would she be able to keep her purity... She had to desperately fight to the end! Yuan Xuan waited downstairs for half an hour before Mu Chenyan was finally willing toe down. She had chosen a set of lingerie with a motif that was considerably more covered. It consisted of a white silk top with hand-sewn, soft white feathers and a pair of little white panties. A long white silk feather train trailed below the waist and extended towards the back. The white feathers that were sewn there were all individually threaded. The motif of this lingerie set was an unrestrained white phoenix. Her long slender legs were thoroughly exposed while her fair skin gleamed. The interior of the vi was at a constant temperature of 26 degrees throughout the four seasons of the year but she was still shivering slightly. However, one could tell that she was not trembling from the cold but because she was embarrassed. Yuan Xuan was satisfied with what he saw. He took long strides and walked towards the foot of the stairs before he elegantly reached his hand out and bowed like an English gentleman before Mu Chenyan, saying, Mistress, please enjoy your meal. Since Mu Chenyan knew in her heart that there was no way she could escape, she stopped behaving in a bashful manner. She nced at the dining room before realizing that the maids who were busying themselves there earlier hadpletely vanished. It looked like Mr Yuan did not want others to lust after his wife. Mu Chenyan rxed her stance once she saw that they were the only two people in the hall. This lingerie set really gave off a carefree look when she wore it. The aroma of the food wafted around when the dishes on the table were warmed up again. Mu Chenyan was really quite hungry now. She gave Yuan Xuan her hand before he led her to sit in front of the table. The food really suited her taste but her outfit was slightly unsuitable. Mu Chenyan simply focused on eating her food without interacting with Yuan Xuan at all during the entire course. It seemed as though she had made up her mind to give him the cold shoulder because he made her wear this outfit. Was he expecting her to smile while apanying him? That would only happen in his dreams! Yuan Xuan ate in an extremely elegant manner while asionally ncing in the direction of his wife. There was a vague smile on the corners of his lips. After dinner, Mu Chenyan looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost 9:30pm. She was so tired after running around for the whole day that her muscles ached. She rose and slowly said, Im going to rest... Yuan Xuan nodded. There was a gentle expression on his face when he said, Go then. Use the bedroom from earlier. Mu Chenyan had no idea about what this man was trying to do. An additional question escaped her lips as she asked, Do I still have to wear this to bed tonight? She pointed at the feathered outfit on her body. Did he really think that he was Emperor Taizong of Tang and that she was going to perform a dance in these feathered clothes for him? Yuan Xuan faintly smiled before an extremely sinister expression appeared on the corners of his lips as he said, I wont mind if you dont wear it. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan realized that without this outfit to cover her body, she would be... Well, that did not have to be mentioned. She returned to the bedroom and removed the long feathered outfit. She only realized after she had burrowed under the sheets that there was no phone signal in this ce. She had initially thought of asking Su Qingcheng about the case but it looked like there was no hope of doing that now. Mu Chenyan carefully listened to the movements outside and noticed that it was dead silent. Since it seemed unnecessary to wait for that man now, Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and fell asleep... Midnight Therge bed suddenly sank downwards. Mu Chenyan vaguely felt someone reaching a hand towards her. She gently murmured, Dont disturb me, Brother Xuan... This woman only called him Brother Xuan when she was half asleep. Yuan Xuan quietlyughed when he heard that. However, hisrge hands did not heed her and pulled off the pitiful piece of cloth on her body instead... That white feathered outfit made her look more like an obedient skrk rather than a phoenix... Mu Chenyan wanted to open her eyes but discovered that it was very difficult. She swiped him with her little hand and impatiently said, I told you not to disturb... Mmm... Her red lips were sealed before their breaths came into contact and intersected. She involuntarily twisted her body while trying to avoid this external encroachment. The mans kisses deepened but he was still as gentle as possible. This sensation satisfied her very much. She dully moaned, her eyes stayed shut as she quietly enjoyed it... She felt her body being heavily suppressed once the kissing was over. Mu Chenyan was barely able to open her eyes before she realized that she was directly facing the mans pupils that were filled with lust. A troubled tone could be heard when she opened her mouth and said, Im really tired... I dont want... Mistress, you dont have to move because Ill do everything. You only have to moan, understand? Yuan Xuans tone was deep and his gaze was tender but he resembled a wild beast that unintentionally exposed traces of its greedy intentions while it was hunting. This man seemed like two different people in and out of bed. Mu Chenyan feared him when he was in bed. Her heart incessantlyined but her body did not cooperate. She was instantly weakened after he teased her several times. The woman wrapped both of her arms around his neck while gentle gasps escaped her mouth...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan should have known much earlier that he had already harbored ill intentions when he prepared sleepwear like that for her. That much was expected! The entire night was spent with the mans thrusting motions thatpletely exhausted her. He had said that she only needed to moan but the actual situation was nothing like that. The sore feelingsted until dawn. This woman had finally exhausted all of her strength and could not get up from the bed. Early morning Yuan Xuan went out to exercise as usual. He showered after he returned and changed into a pair of casual long pants that he paired with a medium-long styled beige windbreaker which made him look spirited and cheerful. Various types of breakfast were already prepared in the kitchen. Sister Liu came over to report to him, saying, Sir, Mistress hasnt gotten up yet. Should I go and wake her? Yuan Xuan nced upstairs before he faintly smiled and said, Let her sleep and turn off the signal blocker. Sister Liu briefly responded in acknowledgement. Ten minutester, Liu Li Vi regained itsmunication signal. Unfortunately, Mu Chenyans cellphone was still turned off... ... Yan Juns phone rang. When he saw his boss honorific title shing on the screen, Yan Jun got serious and answered the call, saying, Young Master! Hows everything going? Yuan Xuan sank into the sofa and turned on theptop on the coffee table. He picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful from it before he asked his questions while staring at theputer screen. Everything is going smoothly. Captain Wu took his men to the gangsir. Hes even investigated their telmunication devices and hes going to take it back to the station to put it through technical appraisal, Wu Ze urately reported. Yuan Xuans tone was t and deep when he said, I brought Mistress to stay at Liu Li Vi these few days but we wont be returning yet. Well discuss this again once the case is almost over. You should keep a close eye on the activities in Luo Hai. Yan Jun had a panoramic view of all the signs of disturbances keeping watch over Luo Hai. Meanwhile, trouble would not arise in Zhong Heng International either because Kang Yu was overseeing it. Although he had to go into hiding with his wife for several days, that was not necessarily a bad thing. It was an opportunity as well to strengthen their rtionship and prevent her from throwing a tantrum every day because he had forced her to stay in a specific ce. Yuan Xuan hung up after giving Yan Jun his instructions. Next, he turned his head towards Sister Liu and asked, Are you sure that there was no signal within a 15km radius? Sister Liu quickly answered, Yes, Im sure. Please dont worry, sir! ... Mu Chenyans disappearance from the face of the earth got Su Qingcheng and Zhang Xin panicked. When she discovered that the hacker was caught, Su Qingcheng initially wanted to inform Mu Chenyan as soon as possible. However, she found out that other womans cellphone was out of coverage area the whole time and it ended up being turned offpletely. Those hackers had said not long after they were caught that they were instructed by someone called Mr Shadow. They went to hack Zhong Heng Internationals intr first but were unsessful, and their task the second time around was to hack Zong Hes surveinceworks. Wu Huai hurriedly dispatched people to check the bank ounts of these hackers. He discovered that there were other ounts that sessively transferred significant amounts of money to these people numerous times. The hackers only knew the other party as Mr Shadow because they only contacted each other through the phone every time while their transactions werepleted through online banking transfers. Everything else truly resembled a shadow in the sense that nothing about him hade to light at all. Wu Huais heart burned with impatience as the investigation reached a standstill. Before he left, Yuan Xuan mentioned that this might be rted to the Mu Family. However, why were the leads cut off again once they had reached this point? Moreover, Third Young Master Yuan was not contactable now and they had also lostmunication with the youngdy of the Mu Family as well. The members of rich and influential families were certainly headstrong enough to skip work just because they felt like it. Wu Huai seethed with anger while the staff in the criminal police department were as anxious as ants in a hot pan. Wu Huai suddenly realized that if this was rted to the Mu Family, the Mu Familys case would involve other financial cases. Thus, the other branches would perhaps have information on that. He sent Little Dong and Jiang Bian to probe the other departments. As expected, they found out through the information from the other branches that a secret little treasury was stolen from the mansion where the Mu Family was previously ced under house arrest. Since the prosecutor merely sealed off the mansion at that time, they did not know about the existence of this underground treasury. Thus, the outside world was unaware of the exact number of assets that were hidden inside. Wu Huais mind understood this better now. However, he was worried that the Mu Familys exiled son had returned and taken the money from this private treasury. It was highly likely that even Mu Chenyan was unaware of this treasury. The other branches had immediately contacted several of their spies on the ck market at that time. After numerous investigations, they discovered that the person who was doing these transactions in the ck market was a woman. The people in the ck market said that she was probably a youngdy of a wealthy family because she had arge number of gold bars which she used for her transactions. Upon hearing this information, Wu Huai pondered for a while before he quietly said, The person whos controlling the flow of such arge amount of money and goods is definitely someone that Mu Chenwu trusts the most. Could that mysterious youngdy be Mu Chenyan? When his colleague Captain Zhang Cheng from the public security sub-bureau heard this, heughed and said, If its Mrs Yuan, couldnt we just visit her at her home? At that time, we suspected her at the first instance as well. Later, we secretly questioned some of the pimps and they determined that it definitely wasnt her. Thus, we never dared to visit Miss Mu at her doorstep to avoid getting into trouble with the Yuan Family. Zhang Cheng spoke frankly and Wu Huai inwardly understood that. When Su Qingcheng overheard this information by the side, she interrupted, Could that woman be Feng Rao, the youngdy of the Feng Family? Mu Chenyan had previously told Su Qingcheng the whole story about the people that she came into contact with several years ago and the things that happened to her. Su Qingcheng remembered that Mu Chenyan had mentioned that her brother previously had an illicit lover named Feng Rao. Although Mu Chenyan covered up certain parts of the incident where Feng Rao told her to meet her brother in the cemetery, Su Qingcheng still remembered the name of the woman who previously argued with Mu Chenyan during the Yuan Familys banquet. Zhang Cheng had initially assumed that this was amon burry case. That year, there were numerous other simr cases like the Mu Familys where people died, got hurt, and people who went missingter returned to steal their own familys possessions. Thus, he did not handle it as a serious case. However, he had never expected that it would be linked to the Zong He poisoning case today. Captain Zhang, Im sorry to trouble you but Id like you to investigate and see if the people at the ck market can recognize if that woman is Feng Rao. ... Mu Chenyan was unsure whether there was a problem with her own phone or if Liu Li Vi was too far from the district of Luo Hai City. Since there was no signal for several days, she simply ignored it in the end and switched her phone off. Although she could no longer receive information from the outside world, it was still alright because Yuan Xuan would take her around the scenic spots during the daytime. They even went boating and fishing at Wintry Lake. The two of them wrestled in bed with all their might at night. Mu Chenyan finally discovered that this man was simply inhuman in bed... Third Young Master Yuan personally taught his pretty young wife various positions to achieve release. The man whose stamina was excessively exceptional was constantly full of demands. Moreover, the carefree and sweat-inducing love-makingpletely exhausted her, leaving her with no time to analyze the cases. Aside from Yan Jun who came over to deliver clothes while they were there, Mu Chenyan only seemed to see a few interchanging maids. Liu Li Vi was seemingly cut off from the rest of the world. Their surroundings were so quiet that the birds seemed extra careful when they flew around as well. The nts in the mountain vis garden were picked ording to Yuan Xuans preference. It resembled apletely tranquil earthly paradise that was secluded from the noisy and bustling city. Just like that, Mu Chenyan cast aside her worldly luxuries and peacefully lived a leisurely life. She was not used to it at first butter became at ease with it. Additionally, this woman had also be significantly plumper due to the care of Liu Li Vis chef. Yuan Xuan really liked her current docile manner. He half-jokingly said, I should just retire at Liu Li Vi. Youll cook and Ill fish. Welly off all the maids here so the both of us can live leisurely. When the children are on vacation, they cane over and apany us during their holidays! Mu Chenyan repeatedly rolled her eyes at him upon hearing that. She thought to herself, Dear Third Young Master Yuan, youve really let your imagination run wild! Chapter 237 - Are You Enjoying Your Vacation, Third Young Master Yuan?

Chapter 237: Are You Enjoying Your Vacation, Third Young Master Yuan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Over at Luo Hai Feng Rao put on an innocent face when she was called to the major crimes department to assist with the investigation. She was an important youngdy of the Feng Family and although the Feng Family was not ranked any higher than the other aristocratic families, they were notmoners either. Herwyer arrived at the major crimes department after the questioning had gone on for less than an hour. This was the most stressful part for Wu Huai. He was reluctant to deal with schrs who memorizedw uses. As there was no concrete proof of the ck market transactions due to ack of surveince, thewyer was quickly able to find loopholes based on the testimonies of several ck market pimps. My client has the right to remain silent. Those people may have recognized the wrong person or they may simply be framing her because it would be impossible for Miss Feng to be involved with the ck market. Unless the police can find better evidence, my client can sue you for defamation! Thewyer who wore gold-rimmed sses spewed a pile of set phrases, provoking Wu Huai until his heart was filled with annoyance. He suppressed his anger and nearly roared, Shall we see how youll actually sue me? How dare she?! Privately, however, Wu Huai quietly reminded himself that he was a police officer, not the leader of ouws. Feng Rao became more arrogant when she saw that Wu Huai could not do anything once herwyer had reached the police station. She kicked up a fuss and said, If you dont release me within two hours, Ill ask my father to get the municipality-level leaders to make an appearance! Wu Huai had never yielded to force or persuasion but he felt that todays case was destined toe to a standstill. Before Feng Rao arrived, the police sketch artists picture that was based on the ck market pimps description allowed them to recognize that the woman making transactions at that time was indeed Feng Rao. However, they could not convict her for this crime solely based on the pimps testimony because it was still considered as ack of evidence. Nheless, one thing could be confirmed. An important youngdy of Feng Raos status was certainly not engaging inrge transactions of gold and jewelry on the ck market simply to buy several dozen Hermes bags. The person behind her who needed this money was definitely Mu Chenwu! Once he had concluded this Wu Huai went through the main threads of thisplicated affair. Mu Chenwu had trained this group of hackers for his own use. They had first attacked the Zhong Heng group that was under Yuan Xuans name to steal the things they needed. However, they were unsessful. Next, he used this group of hackers to hack Zong Hes website while coordinating both internal and external forces. They created this massacre for some unspeakable secret. Other than the motive for this crime, everything else was smoothlypiled in a rather coherent manner. It was highly likely that Third Young Master Yuan knew the motive best and kept it in his heart. Wu Huai only understood now that he had been tricked by Yuan Xuan. When Third Young Master Yuan fled with Mistress after leaving behind some information, it certainly meant that he was hiding his Little Mistress. Since Feng Rao knew Mu Chenwus whereabouts, would Mu Chenyan know as well? Yuan Xuan cunningly escaped because he was worried that his wife would be disturbed. He threw a smoke bomb before he left so that the police would not know where to start even if they wanted to interrogate him. Wu Huai thought of his cousin brother again at this moment. Wu Huai made a phone call and contacted Wu Ze because he wanted to hear the news about Mu Chenyan straight from Wu Zes mouth. When Wu Ze heard that the investigations were directed at Mu Chenwu, he instantly understood why Yuan Xuan was hiding Mu Chenyan. That wife-protecting devil probably knew long ago that the person who was orchestrating this in the background was Mu Chenwu. Thus, he strained his mind to hide his wife while making the police run in circles. You shouldnt pay attention to Mu Chenyan anymore. Yuan Xuan doesnt want you toy a finger on her because Mu Chenyan is probably unaware that all of this is rted to her brother. Wu Ze was more knowledgeable when it came to matters involving Yuan Xuan. Upon hearing that, Wu Huai asked, How are you so sure that Mu Chenyan is unaware? After all, she had previously led the police to investigate Zhao Ruoxin. Thus, how can you determine that this woman wasnt just tricking us so that she can escape? Wu Ze could not help butugh when he heard this. He said, Brother, youve been in the crimes department for so long that everyone looks like a criminal to you now! Wu Huai snorted, expressing his refusal to ept this. Even without using your brain to think, youd be able to understand that Mu Chenwu had a certain aim when he returned to Luo Hai. Why wouldnt he contact his blood-rted sister and ask her for help? Wu Ze did not know how to exin this to Wu Huai. He could only ask, If Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyan had met up much earlier, wouldnt it be much safer for him to pass such arge amount of gold and jewelry to his sister rather than his mistress? Moreover, since Mu Chenyan had never visited Zong He prior to the case, how could she coordinate the internal and external forces to apply the poison? On the surface, it seems like the victims this time have no connection to the Mu n siblings at all... Frankly, Wu Huai had already known the things that Wu Ze mentioned. However, he could not help but be slightly anxious when he saw that his leads were mysteriously cut off. Wu Huai waited until the call ended before he sat on his office chair and fell into deep thoughts. This time, the Mu n siblings had yed the lead roles in causing this dead-end situation. ... Three or four dayster, Mu Chenyan was finally unable to bear the condition in Liu Li Vi where she was cut off from the rest of the world. She made a request of Yuan Xuan, saying, Id like to return to Luo Hai. It seemed as though Yuan Xuan had anticipated that this womans limit would be several days. The man with a refined aura that wafted across his entire body quietly agreed, saying, Alright, well pack our things tomorrow and prepare to return to Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan gently sighed in relief. Her seven-day vacation in Liu Li Vi was finally over. She felt a sort of yearning and reluctance to leave when she turned around and looked at the hundred-year-old mansion. When Yuan Xuan saw through her faint thoughts and quietly said, Next time, we coulde here for a holiday once every other week. Yes, Ill really miss therge bed here... Yuan Xuan emphasized the implication behind his words, Mu Chenyan coughed till her face turned red. The most stressful part of Liu Li Vi to her was thatrge bed that had almost cost Mu Chenyan her life. Mu Chenyan returned to pack her belongings. She had not actually taken many things with her but Sister Liu had brought some of the produce that she grew around this mountain vi for her. Yuan Xuan took his phone out and dialed a number, Captain Wu... Wu Huai secretlyughed to himself. This respected individual was finally willing to show himself. Are you enjoying your vacation, Third Young Master? What instructions do you have during this call? The case involving Zong He was already set aside. He would not even think of any progress unless they caught Mu Chenwu. Wu Huai suppressed his raging anger as he mocked Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuans dark aura returned. It was unlike his gentle appearance when he was with Little Chenyan. His tone was cold and arrogant when he tly said, Id like to make several things clear with Captain Wu in advance. Please moderate your subordinates words once Mu Chenyan has returned to Luo Hai. I dont want Mu Chenyan to know too much about this case. Wu Huai coldly groaned and said, Third Young Master Yuan, can you tell me how I can benefit from that? Perhaps youd already known long ago that the person behind this was Mu Chenwu? Wu Huai could not help but be filled with rage when he thought of how he had been led by his nose the whole time. Yuan Xuan suddenlyughed. Through the phone, Wu Huai could also feel the imposing manner and coldness that this man was spreading. Ive been trying to capture Mu Chenwu all along. Well definitely work together if we get the chance in the future, Yuan Xuan casually said. Wu Huai sneered, Hmph, I was thinking that Third Young Master Yuan is certainly well-versed in Sun-Tzus Art of War. Its likely that youll want to borrow our manpower to get rid of Mu Chenwu in the future, right? That way, you wont have to offend your Little Mistress! Thats an exaggeration, Captain Wu! Its the duty of police officers like you to eradicate evil for the sake of the people. Yuan Xuan argued with Wu Huai. I contacted you to tell you that I didnt want Mu Chenyan to be excessively involved in this right from the beginning. Since youve already directed the investigation towards Mu Chenwu, you should just do your work properly then! You should know what you have to do for Mu Chenyan, right? Wu Huai tly said, Alright, Ill help you but youll have to keep your word in the future and help me arrest Mu Chenwu as well. Ill cooperate, of course. Yuan Xuan hung up. His gloomy expression brightened when he saw his dainty wife happily holding a beautifully carved pumpkin... Chapter 238 - The Military-ranked “Bandit Chief” from Capital City

Chapter 238: The Military-ranked Bandit Chief from Capital City

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ill cooperate, of course. Yuan Xuans gloomy expressionter brightened. Outside the window, his dainty wife came out of the mansions ecological garden. Her face was filled with joy as she carried a beautifully carved pumpkin in her arms. Mistress, slow down and dont rush. You can just get the maid to hold these things... Sister Liu was truly skilled in cultivating numerous types of local specialties. She was a real foodie who could produce such beautiful things even if they were just meant to be eaten. Yuan Xuan could not help but smile. ... Mu Chenyans phone only regained its usual functions when she returned to Luo Hai after being away for a long time. The moment she turned it on, she saw several notifications that listed her unanswered phone calls before Su Qingchengs numerous messages asking detailed questions came rushing in. It was fortunate that Su Qingcheng was unaware of Mu Chenyans role in Mu Chenwus case. Additionally, she did not reveal the developments of the case to Mu Chenyan because of Wu Huais warnings. Mu Chenyan replied Su Qingchengs messages to report that she was safe. Another person who was more impatient was Zhang Xin. The distracted young man repeatedly messaged Mu Chenyan to ask about her whereabouts every day... Mu Chenyan replied all of them. Mu Chenyan and Ah Fu took the various local produce down from the car when she returned to Hibiscus Garden. Yuan Xuan did not stop her but allowed her to do as she pleased instead. This woman behaved better when she had exhausted herself. Yuan Xuan felt that it was better for Mu Chenyan to know less about themotion regarding the situation in Luo Hai... Shao Yibai came to the Yuan Family Mansion in the afternoon. Since he could not catch hold of Yuan Xuan these few days, he could not help but anticipate his return. The two men went to have a drink at the bar together. Youre finally willing to change your tactics in treating Little Chenyan! Shao Yibai heard that Yuan Xuan had taken Mu Chenyan sightseeing for more than a week while chaos was brewing. He felt that Yuan Xuans manner of handling problems had be gentler because he was no longer so rigid. He could not help but sighed, In the past, you wouldve ignored everything else to capture Mu Chenwu, right? In front of Shao Yibai, Yuan Xuan could rx his heart. He took a cigarette from the table and lit it up with his Zippo lighter. It ignited faint sparks and caused dark smoke to rise. Yuan Xuans narrowed eyes resembled arcs when hemented, Although its important to capture Mu Chenwu, I dont want Mu Chenyan to find out and hate me. Thus, its not necessary for me to personally take action on this matter. Shao Yibai raised his ss of red wine. Meanwhile, preparations for the erotic dance performance in the evening were already starting on the stage in the corner of the bar. Do you really trust those police officers so much? Shao Yibai felt that it would be more reliable to do everything personally. All along, his style was to keep to himself and act as he pleased. Mu Chenwu already has the Zong He case against him. The police station has also put him on their record. Hell appear sooner orter if he wants to get his revenge against me. Since he wont be able to escape when that timees, Im currently not frantically looking for him. Speaking of which, your brother-inw was rather cunning. You didnt even know that he stole that little treasury right before your eyes, right? Shao Yibais words were filled with a mocking tone while he joyfullyughed. Shao Yibai faintly took pleasure in Yuan Xuans misery when he thought of how Mu Chenyan had tormented Yuan Xuan and caused him a lot of trouble. Yuan Xuan had his own ns. There was a cold expression on his face when he quietly said, Mu Chenwu would have had to rely on more than the little treasury that his father left him when he returned to Luo Hai and organized his forces. That was merely a cover-up. Shao Yibai sneered, Nothing gets past you! The two men toasted and drank throughout the entire afternoon. Since he was slightly tipsy, Shao Yibais vision became blurred. In his drunk state, the charm of a matured man permeated across his entire body in a brilliant manner that radiated all around. The evening show in the bar would start at 6 oclock. Shao Yibai was too eye-catching. In a short while, he became the man who attracted the most women in the bar. Shao Yibai was also a frequent visitor in the world of romance in Capital City. He was a skilled yer when it came to having fun. Nheless, he was also the best at keeping his hands clean. It sounded ironic but it was the truth. Several blonde young women stared at him for a long time on the side. Now that a man of his caliber was here, they could simply disregard everything else. The women did not bother to act reserved because they felt that it was good enough if he even looked them in the eye. Sir, would you mind having a drink with me? Suddenly, a woman withrge wavelike curls cast a beautiful smile in his direction. She was provocatively charming. She pursed her gorgeous plump red lips and left a dark flirtatious mark on the rim of her crystal ss. Of course I wouldnt mind! Shao Yibai smiled as he took the wine ss from that womans hand and drank from the spot where the print of her lips remained. Yuan Xuan was in awe of this aspect of Shao Yibai. He never rejected any women outside because he believed in the saying the more the merrier. Conversely, Yuan Xuans germophobia was a mental and physical issue. He rejected anything and everything externally tempting. He could neither touch nor look at other women, much less flirt with them. Shao Yibai was different. He mentally enjoyed his various encounters with beautiful women but persevered in maintaining various ridiculous physical boundaries between them. The curly-haired beauty was ted when she saw that Shao Yibai was extremely weing. Her graceful body approached him before she stered herself against the mans warm chest and said, Then you wouldnt minding to my house for a drink too, right? The woman had really fair skin and crimson red lips. Moreover, she was also provocatively eye-catching from the front because he visually estimated her chest size to be 36D. She was a rare thing indeed. Shao Yibaiughed. He was unusually handsome when his bewitching almond-shaped eyes narrowed into an attractive arc before he said, I cant do that tonight. My friend is with me so its not convenient. Leave your contact details with me so I can look for youter. The woman nced at the silent figure in the dark shadows before disying a shocked expression. Yuan Xuans dark shadow was previously concealed by Shao Yibais brilliance. Thus, the woman had only realized now that the man in the corner was more attractive. His cold and arrogant gaze simply enchanted everyone in a matter of seconds. As both of the men here were equally outstanding, the womans breathing became rather unsteady. She looked casual but she was actually carefully scheming when she smiled attractively at Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan ignored her and lifted his wine ss while a frosty look appeared on his face. When the woman saw the look of abstinence on Yuan Xuans face, she consciously reeled in her gaze because she knew that this man would not be as easy to handle as Shao Yibai. She charmingly smiled at Shao Yibai before she took a business card out of her bag. She kissed it with her red lips and passed it to Shao Yibai, saying, Remember to call me! Shao Yibai smiled as he took it and said, Dont worry, baby. The woman reluctantly left and turned back several times with every step. When she returned to her group of friends, there were envious looks on herpanions faces as they said, He actually kept your phone number... That womans gaze never left Shao Yibai while the crowd continued to cheer. They hade out to have a good time. Passionate encounters between men and women were a normal thing to these people but when they saw exceptional men like Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan, the women were more willing to be direct. Shao Yibai turned towards the direction of those women and ced the curly-haired beautys business card beside his lips before he kissed it. He evoked a scream from the crowd at that instance. Wow, its going to be interesting... Yuan Xuan faintly smiled. He neither knew what Shao Yibai was thinking about nor did he know how he thought of such ridiculous things. How could the military-ranked bandit chief from Capital City do these things... After leaving the bar Yuan Xuan watched Shao Yibai tug at the cor of his jacket. His tall figure made him look like a model while there was an indescribable smile on his sinister face. What? Are you nning to take a chick from Luo Hai home and finish the deed since you were unsessful with your Little Chili? Yuan Xuan could not help but recall that stunning shoulder throw when he thought of Su Qingcheng... Chapter 239 - Hallucinogens

Chapter 239: Hallucinogens

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng was truly a hot-tempered woman whose manner was unlike Mu Chenyans. Although she currently looked like someone who constantly lost her temper, Mu Chenyan was still a gentle young woman at heart. She would asionally harden up but her soft side would always be there. Su Qingcheng was different. She was an unyielding, stubborn person both inside and out. It was highly likely that this woman would desperately fight against Shao Yibai if he ever came down hard on her. Most of the women who had learned martial arts were hard pills to swallow. When Shao Yibai heard him say that, he looked at Yuan Xuan before his expression suddenly became threateningly cold and furious. He lowered his head and rubbed the card in his hand before an extremely sarcastic smile appeared on his face. How could these women bepared to Su Qingcheng? Shao Yibai ruthlessly threw the business card into the trash can when he said that... There was not a single hint of fondness on the gloomy mans face. It seemed as though the veteran at the romantic scene from earlier was not him at all! Yuan Xuan suddenly understood how Shao Yibai could wait for one woman for so many years. Aside from Su Qingcheng, there was nock of women around him. Nheless, he had never settled down with a woman. Apparently, this mans heart had not been awakened. ... When they returned to Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan saw his wife, a woman who became extremely happy just by holding arge fresh pumpkin, was quietly reading a book on the long bench on the veranda while being draped in a thin, light pink starry nnel nket. His young wife was wearing sses because it was not well-lit there. Her smooth little face looked rather serene. Without the charm and attractiveness of the girls in the bar, Chenyans intelligent beauty was different from before and was more fascinating. Yuan Xuan could not help but swallow his saliva. His Adams apple bobbed up and down several times while a certain misbehaving part of his body continuously moved restlessly. The man patiently endured it for a while because he wanted to restrain that uneasiness and heat. He had somewhat given in to his excessive lust when he repeatedly tormented her every night during the few days they were at Liu Li Vi. However, Yuan Xuan could not think of anything that he would rather do aside from getting on top of her every time he saw her. Mu Chenyan was clearly unaware that this man not far away from her was at a loss. Shebed several sections of her hair and exposed faint purple marks on her shoulders and neck. He had given all of them to her. The more she asked him to be gentle, the more vigorous he became as though this was the only way that he could express his deep longing for her. These marks were inevitable because he asionally lost sense of the severity of his actions. Moreover, her skin was also tender. However, this woman was also amazing because she always had ways to drive him crazy every time he wanted her. Yuan Xuan unconsciously recalled her appearance when she had just returned from prison. Inparison, this woman had drastically changed now. She was no longer quiet and dull. On the contrary, her fiery life force had returned. Perhaps this was rted to his repeated lessons on the bed. Yes, it was like that indeed. Yuan Xuan started bing pleased with himself when he thought of these things. There was a warm smile on his face when he silently walked towards the veranda and stood there. The woman raised her head from her book when she smelled the scent of alcohol on him. When she removed her sses, she was stunned to see that the mans face was flushed from the drinking. She ced her book aside and quietly said, Did you have a lot to drink again? Go and take a shower. All I can smell is alcohol and it stinks... She sounded like she wasining but there was a flirtatious tone in her voice. When he heard the charming hints in her gentle voice, Yuan Xuan was suddenly unable to restrain himself. He abruptly bent his body downward and firmly kissed the womans red lips that were still rattling on... Since Mu Chenyan was unprepared, the man quickly and effortlessly ravaged her throat... Her little hands and legs fervently kicked and scratched in protest but she did not expect to incite the mans dissatisfaction. He grabbed her hands and raised them above her head while pressing them against the back of the long bench. He continued to attack with his tongue, passing the faint aroma in his mouth to her. After a while, Mu Chenyan felt as though she was about to get drunk as well. The kiss continued for a long time without stopping. The breathing of these two people who were entangled became heavier while the scent of red wine spread throughout their lips. Yuan Xuan would not be satisfied with a single kiss. He reached his hand in through herpel and pinched and fondled. The painful pinching sensation suddenly shocked Mu Chenyan awake. Mu Chenyans scalp tingled when she realized that this man wanted to sleep with her again. During the several days they spent in Liu Li Vi, he tormented her to the point of exhaustion due to their passionate nights. Thus, she had initially assumed that Yuan Xuan would wake up and stop dreaming that they were Adam and Eve once they had returned from that paradise on Earth. She had never imagined that he would continue on with his excessive demands. If this continued, their world would change while their house would no longer be home. Would there be any difference between her and Su Daji who destroyed the Shang dynasty or Yang Yuhuan who ruined the Tang dynasty? (TN: Famous consorts in Chinese history who were said to have caused the downfall of their respective dynasties.) Various scenes shed through Mu Chenyans mind before she suddenly exerted all of her strength to push the mans lowering body away while she heavily panted. Stop it! Mu Chenyan quietly objected. I need to wake up early and go to work tomorrow. Her gaze was piercingly cold when she disyed the forcefulness that was expected of a career woman. Mu Chenyan was unavoidably vexed when she thought of how she was pinned down by him every night. Yuan Xuan was stunned. He could not help but think that her job was truly dispensable when he saw that she waspletely serious. However, he knew that she was stubborn. If he did not allow her to go out and work, she would disy annoyed expressions at him and raise hell. Thus, he dropped the subject andforted her saying, Alright, you can just focus on these things, Mistress. However, dont work too hard! Mu Chenyan nodded while heaving a sigh of relief mentally. She still had no idea about how to exin her whereabouts during these few days to her colleagues. When both of them went upstairs, Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of Zhao Yanni and said, How is Ruoxins mother now? Yuan Xuans expression greatly worsened when he heard Zhao Ruoxins name. He rubbed his temples while a threatening aura emerged. Shes still alright but its very difficult to say whether she can return to the condition of a normal person in the future. Yuan Xuans gaze fell on Mu Chenyan while he spoke. Her delicate little face was shocked. Yuan Xuan continued and exined, Not only was she poisoned by Zong He Sanatorium, but they probably fed her some hallucinogens on a normal basis as well! Her mind is hazy now but shell probably need to continue staying in Zong He Sanatorium once shes discharged from the hospital. Yuan Xuan casually mentioned these things but Mu Chenyan still inhaled a breath of cold air. Hallucinogens? It was not surprising that Mu Chenyan had always felt that Zhao Yanni was not actually a mentally ill patient but a scapegoat who was merely slightly different from an average person. Who gave her those hallucinogens? Mu Chenyan could not help but ask. Yuan Xuan took some casual clothing out of the closet. The corners of his lips stretched into an arc when he looked at the woman who was nning to pursue this question to the end. Why dont you try your best to fulfill your responsibilities as Mrs Yuan instead of aggressively minding other peoples business? When Mu Chenyan saw through his constricted pupils that he was harboring ill intentions, she recoiled her body under the nkets before she shook her head and pitifully said, I dont want to! I want to request for leave. Yuan Xuan mischievously smiled before he went into the bathroom. The whooshing sound of flowing water confused Mu Chenyans state of mind. She briefly visited Liu Li Vi with Yuan Xuan for no reason only to return and discover that she was cut off from the Zong He case. If Su Qingcheng was unwilling to reveal the slightest bit of information to her, she did not even need to consider Wu Huai. The chatterbox Zhang Xin was alsopletely silent regarding this case. Presently, she was still only aware of the same developments that urred before she left. When she suddenly heard Yuan Xuan say that Zhao Yanni had taken hallucinogens, an uneasy feeling seized her mind when she recalled how pitiful that woman appeared when she wailed in front of her own daughter...

Chapter 240: Stick 19, Medium-down

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When the sound of flowing water ceased to be heard from the bathroom, the man came out wrapped in a towel. His muscr chest was radiant and enchanting. Glittering water droplets then flowed down his abdominal muscles and trickled on the furry rug in the bedroom. Yuan Xuan cast a gaze at Mu Chenyan and faintly smiled. The attractive but bewitching curve on the corners of his lips made it impossible for others to pry their eyes away. Are you still waiting for me, Mistress? His extremely gentle and tingling voice made him seem like apletely different person from the stern man who constantly acted as though he controlled the entire world during the day. Fearful that Yuan Xuan would make demands of her again, Mu Chenyan hurriedly hid under the nkets when she heard him speak. Mistress is already asleep! When she spoke, Mu Chenyan made snoring noises on purpose. ... ( .c om ) Major Crimes Department Mu Chenyan returned to work. Mu Chenyans heart was filled with uneasiness as she had disappeared for more than a week without applying for leave absence. It was fortunate that everyone seemed to have forgiven her. Everyone smiled at her despite the envious looks that seeped through their gazes at the thought of her week-long holiday. Conversely, they were so busy these few days because of the Zong He case that it seemed like their brains were about to fall out. However, they did not dare to reveal any traces of this in front of Mu Chenyan. Obviously, Mu Chenyan would not have thought of that. She went looking for Wu Huai to report to him first. She sat in the office and listened to the chatterbox Zhang Xin bbering about how much he had missed her these few days... It was fine that Wu Huai remained silent without mentioning it. Mu Chenyan thought to herself that he was probably doing it for Yuan Xuans sake. Influential people could really get away with anything. It was no wonder why Yuan Xuan said that it would make no difference whether she went to work or not. She was simply in a position where it did not concern her. Nheless, this woman was slightly disappointed because no one had acknowledged her although she was highly ambitious. When it was almost noon, Wu Huai called Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng to his office. Little Su, theres a task for you. Wu Huai passed the files in his hands to Su Qingcheng as he spoke. Su Qingcheng suspiciously took the files while Mu Chenyan sneaked several nces from the side. Im going to East Bridge City? Su Qingchengs asked while her gaze shifted towards Wu Huai after she had finished looking at the case files. Yes, weve received information from our hidden lookout that the female ringleader of a child trafficking syndicate in Luo Hai has presently fled to East Bridge City. ( .c om ) Were going to send someone over to support and coborate with the other branches to arrest this woman. Since we dont need so many people here because our cases havent had any developments, you can go and assist them for a while. Yes, this can also be considered as a brief public expense vacation! For some reason, Mu Chenyan felt as though she saw a hint of uneasiness in Wu Huais gaze when a serious person like him mentioned the public expense pleasure tour. Mu Chenyan happily pursed her lips in secret. Miss Mu, you should go with Little Su. Wu Huai mentally recalled what Yuan Xuan had said before he hurriedly sent his wife off so that she would not dy him from solving the case over here. Mu Chenyan was stunned then realized that she was also assigned to the frontlines now. Fortunately, East Bridge City was located along the coast and it was a good vacation spot. However, she had just started working this month. Aside from the several petty thieves and perverts that she had arrested in the beginning, would she really be spending the rest of her days on holiday? Apparently, having enough time to go on holiday was also worrisome now. Mu Chenyan sighed when she came out of Wu Huais office with Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng saw the unhappiness in Mu Chenyans heart. She quietly asked, Is there something on your mind? A thought stirred in Mu Chenyans mind before she looked at Su Qingcheng and said, Qingcheng, East Bridge is very close to City C. Could you apany me to City C for a while once were done with this case? City C was the city that Zhao Ruoxin had lived in. ... When she returned to Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan told Yuan Xuan that she would be away for work for several days. While she was packing her things, the mans face became extremely gloomy. Away for work? Yuan Xuan suddenly felt as though he had been tricked. This woman became more and more arrogant when he allowed her to go outside and work. Moreover, did she really need to go away for work? Im going to East Bridge to follow up on a case. Ill be back real soon. Mu Chenyan could not understand because she was only going away for work. Did he really need to make these faces? When she finished exining, she saw that Yuan Xuans face was still gloomy while he leaned his shoulders against the doorway to the closet. ording to psychology, his actions implied that he was resisting. However, Mu Chenyan made up her mind and decided to ignore him. She packed a suitcase and rose before she walked into the bathroom alone while holding back a smile. The night sky was dim and the southern winds were slightly cool. Yuan Xuan dashed towards the veranda outside the hall and dejectedly smoked a cigarette. The twinkling stars and bright moonlight nketed the mans dark, depressed figure. He could not stop himself from dialing Wu Huais phone number. Captain Wu, did you send Mu Chenyan away for business? Yuan Xuans questioning tone was undeniably brimming with dissatisfaction. His attitude made Wu Huai extremely unhappy. Third Young Master Yuan, dont forget that you asked me to hide the details of the case from Miss Mu. Isnt it a good thing that I sent her away? Wu Huai was secretly pleased. It seemed as though he had turned the tables on this situation. Yuan Xuan had taken the Little Mistress into hiding for more than a week, resulting in the entire team bing extremely busy. Moreover, they only managed to find a few clues despite the pressure that they were put through. Was Wu Huai not allowed to upset him in return now? Who will be responsible for her safety? When Yuan Xuan remembered that East Bridge was not exactly near Luo Hai, he became worried at the thought of this woman going out on her own. This was particrly important during the current circumstances where Mu Chenwu had be more reckless. Su Qingcheng will go with her so theres no need for Third Young Master Yuan to worry, right? Her? Are you sure that she can protect Mrs Yuan? Yuan Xuan did not doubt Su Qingchengs fighting skills. After all, she had fought against Shao Yibai. However, she was still a woman nheless. Wu Huai sneered, I thought of sending a man to apany Mrs Yuan but I was worried that Third Young Master Yuan would be against that. Yuan Xuan coldly groaned, Captain Wu really thoroughly considered this! Thank you very much for your praise, Third Young Master Yuan. Wu Huais smile was very treacherous as he was not harboring good intentions. Yuan Xuan hung up before his gloomy gaze shifted upstairs. He was still very anxious. However, he knew that he had to worry about losing face again if he did not yield to this woman. Yuan Xuan pondered for awhile before he called Shao Yibai. Your woman is going to take Mu Chenyan out and do crazy things again. Were you aware of this? Shao Yibais side was quiet for a long time before he softly said, I have confidence in Su Qingchengs fighting skills. Mu Chenyan will probably be fine if theyre together. You shouldnt be worried. Shao Yibai realized that Yuan Xuan probably called him because he was worried about Mu Chenyans safety while she was away. Yuan Xuan faintly smiled, You know her really well! I taught her all of her fighting skills so how would it be possible for me not to know her well? While he spoke, Shao Yibai could not help butugh when he recalled that womans appearance that year. Su Qingcheng was especially young and inexperienced then. When she smiled, the two little dimples that appeared on the corners of her mouth made her looked sweet... She grew up in the blink of an eye and became a woman who had almost matured. Moreover, this woman had also learned to put on a stern face and appeared cold before she suddenly fell out with him. An annoyed feeling strangely brewed in Shao Yibais heart when he recalled how he had received the cold shoulder several times when he went to her house. It was fortunate that Shao Yibai was a well brought up person who remained courteous in front of Su Qingcheng withoutshing out despite being irritated. When he heard Yuan Xuan mentioned that Su Qingcheng would leave on official business as well today, Shao Yibais heart became rather unhappy at the thought of this woman leaving Luo Hai. Chapter 241 - Pleasure Tour Using Public Expense

Chapter 241: Pleasure Tour Using Public Expense

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When he heard Yuan Xuan mentioned that Su Qingcheng would leave on official business as well today, Shao Yibais heart became rather unhappy at the thought of this woman leaving Luo Hai. Fortunately, Shao Yibai was unlike Yuan Xuan. The biggest difference between one person who had tasted physical pleasures and another who had not was that the former would crave the taste of flesh again since he had already tried it. He would probably be unable to bear it if he went a few days without it. Conversely, Shao Yibai was already used to this because he lived a life that resembled a monks... The monk consoled him, saying, You can rx. Your Little Chenyan will be safe with Su Qingcheng. If you really cant ept that, Ill secretly go and help you keep an eye on her? When Yuan Xuan heard this, the corners of his lips stretched into a sly smile before he said, Thank you for your trouble! Shao Yibai was speechless. Hmph, this man had really treated him like a bodyguard! However, when he thought about it again, he felt that this was not a bad idea. After all, he had nothing important to do in Luo Hai. Yuan Ran personally visited him almost every day. Unlike the women outside, Shao Yibai obviously could not treat the members of the Yuan Family as he pleased. Thus, Yuan Ran certainly resembled a dangerous beauty before him in the sense that he could neither touch her nor cast her aside. He could go and see the woman he liked on the pretense of sneaking around to protect Little Chenyan. Shao Yibais adaptable personality instantly made him feel as though Yuan Xuan had thrown him a pleasant task. ... Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng left for East Bridge City. Their journey did not take long because that ce was close to Luo Hai. Moreover, since the two women had endless topics to discuss along the way, they quickly reached East Bridge and did not feel weary after their journey. They found the hotel that was arranged by their workces cooperative partner. Theirpanions that arrived with them also included police officers from Luo Hais other departments. Additionally, the police station in East Bridge had also sent their representatives. In the hotel where they were staying, everyone briefly studied the schedule of their operations during these few days. They would visit the station on the second day. The two women had an early dinner in the evening. Since were already here, we cant take the public expense vacation that Wu Huai mentioned for granted! said Su Qingcheng as she led Mu Chenyan out the door. Su Qingcheng had asked about the exciting night scenic spots in East Bridge much earlier. They took a stroll and circled it before she dragged Mu Chenyan to the night market in East Bridge. It was April and the spring flowers were in bloom. During this warm and windy season, the lively night market was filled with the noise of chattering people. When she thought of how their next two days would be filled with work, she became worried that there would not be enough time to buy some gifts if she did not do it now. The two women chose some items that each of them nned to bring back. Su Qingcheng had even gotten something for Wu Huai. She said, Im buying a small gift to bribe our leader! In the end, she bought several toys for children as well. Mu Chenyan curiously asked, Why did you buy those toys? Su Qingcheng bashfully smiled and said, Im still a child at heart! The people of East Bridge worshiped Mazu. Thus, there were Mazu temples everywhere. There was one near the end of the night market. The joss sticks there were still burning although it was already evening. Mu Chenyan wanted to ask for a talisman for Yuan Xuan and pray for her brothers safety at the same time. Thus, she dragged Su Qingcheng over to the Mazu temple. She lit the joss sticks and prayed to Mazu to ask for a talisman. Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuans Koenigsegg sports car had a talisman but its pouch was already slightly faded. She could exchange it with this new one when she brought it back. Miss, would you like to draw a stick for your fortune? (TN: Refers to Kau Cim or Chinese fortune sticks.) There was an elderly person with white hair and a white beard at the doorway. He resembled a transcendent being, unlike the usual fortune tellers at the street stalls who were merely sly businesspeople. There was a smile hidden behind his eyes when he turned to Mu Chenyan and said, You two youngdies arent locals, right? It seems like were fated to meet! Although both of you are charming and extraordinarily beautiful, your love lives seem rocky... Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng nced at each other when they heard him mentioning their troubled love lives. Both of them initially did not trust this roadside fortune teller. Asking for that talisman was simply a psychological form of reassurance. However, Mu Chenyan was suddenly moved when the fortune teller fixed his sharp gaze on her. How rocky were their love lives going to be? Curiosity killed the cat! Old man, Ill make an exception and ask you for a stick. Mu Chenyan kneeled down as she spoke. The old man looked at the young woman before him and smiled, saying, Everything was fated when I manned this stall here. I wont charge you since youre only asking for one stick. You can just take this as a first-meeting present that Im giving to you because youre a foreign guest. Curiosity flooded Mu Chenyans heart when she heard the old man said that he did not want payment. She picked up the bucket and gently shook it before a bamboo stick fell out. The old man picked it up and looked at it before a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, Stick 19, medium-down! (TN: Medium-down refers to the type of fortune that is predicted.) ... Su Qingcheng could tell that Mu Chenyans expression had slightly changed after they returned from the Mazu temple. People would naturally act differently from usual when they had something on their mind. Ive never believed in things like fortune sticks or divination! Su Qingcheng consoled her, saying, Moreover, you didnt get the worst stick. The old man also said that you should just ept everything for the way it is instead of being conflicted. This will blow over and pass soon enough. Mu Chenyan smiled before she opened her palm and revealed the corresponding fortune based on her stick that read, When the choppy waters force your boat to the shore, what can you do when the waves crash and the wind roars? Wait for the tides to turn and the gale to return as before, so that your boat may safely sail back once more. A word of advice, Miss. Let go of the unhealthy thoughts in your mind and y your role as an obedient wife when you go home. You should also distance yourself from conflict because anything can be damaged in the process. If you continue to be entangled with the past, Im afraid that... Although the old man did not continue, Mu Chenyan was already aware of this in her heart. She hade here to investigate an old case... ... The female ringleader of the child trafficking syndicate was very cunning because this woman hid her tracks andpletely disappeared the moment the people from Luo Hai reached East Bridge. Her whereabouts were unknown, causing the police to run around in circles for a week. Finally, on a weekend afternoon, she was spotted by the spies when she could not help bute out for a breather. Thus, several police officers managed to catch her red-handed effortlessly. Su Qingcheng participated in the operation this time. She seemed unusually agitated because she was unwilling to calm down although the woman was already badly beaten up by her. Mu Chenyan had witnessed Su Qingchengs strength before but she was still rather shocked when she saw her frenziedly kicking and punching the captured female ringleader of the child trafficking syndicate. When several of their male colleagues from the branches of Luo Hais police departments saw that the heroin who was sent by the major crimes department was so tough, the attraction that they felt towards this beauty in their hearts after cohabiting with her for several days instantly vanished into thin air... Qingcheng, do you... Do you particrly hate child traffickers? The two women returned to their hotel and prepared to leave for City C. Mu Chenyan chatted with Su Qingcheng while they packed. When she came back, Mu Chenyan had overheard a discussion between several of the officers from Luo Hais police station in the corridor. Ive never seen a woman fight so violently. The ones from the special department are so different! Yes, two of her front teeth were kicked out! I heard that the criminal still wants to sue Miss Su when she gets back. She probably feels that she was wronged because she had to suffer such a terrible beating despite already being sentenced to death! You couldnt fully vent your anger even if you gunned someone like this to death over a thousand times! How dare she f*cking feel wronged after she destroyed so many families? I wouldnt dare toy a hand on her though. After all, were just office workers who are trying to support our families. Rumor has it that Miss Su is different because she was pushed to the major crimes department by Bureau Chief Lees son... ... Su Qingcheng bitterlyughed, I really do hate them. You could even say that I despise them! Su Qingcheng pulled her suitcase over while she spoke. She messily balled up her clothes and stuffed them into her suitcase. Mu Chenyan could not help but furrow her eyebrows when she saw her clumsy actions. She snatched Su Qingchengs suitcase over in one go before she lowered her voice and gently said, Women are usually better at things like this. You should move aside and take a break. Su Qingcheng was also at a loss for words. This was not the first time that someone had insulted her like this! She gently twisted bits of her short hair while her pretty little face faintly blushed. The image of that man floated in her mind as she recalled him poking her chest and furiously saying, Samson Su, youre really manly! (TN: Original punpared Su Qingchengs name to indigo and its tough properties. However, that did not trante well in English so I changed it but tried to keep the essence of the pun.)

Chapter 242: This Lady Called Her Miss Mu

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion City C It was a tiny city near the East Bridge. When Zhao Yanni was chased away by the Shu Family of Luo Hai, she came here with her physically-challenged child, Shu Xiner, with her lover. The man was useless, as he managed to get by sticking with the Shu Family in Luo Hai but seduced thedy of the main house. Even though he was able to get thedy, he could not stay in Luo Hai anymore. City C was notparable to Luo Hai in any way, so he could not express his dissatisfaction anywhere else other than at the Zhao mother-and-daughter pair. Zhao Ruoxins childhood was unknowable. Mu Chenyans urge to getting to know her was based on the abnormalities she exuded. Before getting herself into the Yuan Family, she had had a romantic past with Xia Tao. Based on Xia Taos infatuation and age, Zhao Ruoxin was likely to have been in her middle school or high school when they got together, at least? Evidently, Zhao Ruoxin had been aplex character since young. She might have been using Xia Tao before, and now that she managed to get out of it, she was able to do well for herself in Yuan Family. Mu Chenyan was trying to look for clues on her that gave a reason as to why she would enter Yuan Family. Furthermore, not even ghosts would believe it if she said she had nothing to do with the tragedy at Zong He. Chenyan, where should we start investigating? Knowing Mu Chenyans intention to investigate Zhao Ruoxin, Su Qingcheng excitedly left her luggage in the hotel and began chatting about it as the duo came out for some food. If they were able to get important information, the Zong He case might close sooner, and Wu Huai would not have such a low opinion on a female staff like her, so Su Qingcheng seemed even more eager than Mu Chenyan. Qingcheng, do you think you can pull all the files the police had on Zhao Ruoxin as a police yourself? I want to look for a lead so we know how to approach the matter. After all, we have limited time. Everything Mu Chenyan said was true. If she was out for an extended amount of time, the one at home would likely to be sour-faced again. He might even make his way to City C just to drag her back home. That was why the matter must be solved as soon as possible! I should be able to. However, even though Im inw enforcement, Im not in City C for work, so Ill need Wu Huai to request permission from our sister department here. Seeing Mu Chenyan furrowing her brow, Su Qingcheng knew she had an issue with that idea. I dont want anyone in the Yuan Family to find out, thats why I came here to investigate behind Yuan Xuans back. You know that, right? Mu Chenyan phrased it casually, but with Su Qingchengs wits, she immediately understood that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan were not as close as they had portrayed. Alright, I suggest that we start investigating her fellow students. Someone that young would spend the majority of their time in school. To understand what shes like, her ssmates will be an important clue. Su Qingcheng said and motioned for Mu Chenyan to stop in front of a tiny restaurant. She pointed at the picture on the signboard. Boiled fish filet, spicy rabbit head. Do you like Sichuan food? Mu Chenyan was not picky about food. However, Yuan Xuans pte was too light, so she rarely had anything that stimting in Yuan Familys food. Lets go, I shally down my life for your cravings! Mu Chenyan smiled wickedly even though she was the one craving it. Su Qingcheng giggled and found a quiet corner with Mu Chenyan. Ordering a set of spicybo for two as well as spicy rabbit head, Sichuan pepper chicken feet, and some beef brisket slices with pickled pepper, they managed to treat themselves to a gastronomic experience. When they had left, their lips were so swollen and out-turned, it felt as if their lips were no longer theirs. Mu Chenyan had never tried something that delectably spicy, she asked Su Qingcheng, Arent you from Jiang Nan, how do you stand the spiciness? Su Qingchengughed, Im a Sichuan chick at heart! When she saw the confused look on Mu Chenyans face, Su Qingcheng waved it off and said, Its nothing, just something tiny in the past! Su Qingcheng would not have known that her spicy meal would cause such a huge trouble! Midnight Mu Chenyan held her stomach in pain as the chilies continually tortured her from inside. She got up to have a cup of warm water andid back down. However, the burning pain did not seem to ease as her stomach churned even harder. Mu Chenyan went to the bathroom to throw up most of the food in the sink. It was such a huge stir that it woke Su Qingcheng. Whoa! Chenyan, are you alright? Mu Chenyans face was pale, her lips trembling slightly as she panted as a result of her regurgitation. Her brows were knitted tight, scaring Su Qingcheng. Ill send you to the hospital right now! Aside from the hospital, there was nowhere else to go with the current situation. Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan to change out of her pajamas and picked a sports outfit for herself. Without dy, she showed her strength, carrying Mu Chenyan on her back into the lift. The receptionist called a cab for her. Mu Chenyan tried to lessen the pain by not speaking on the ride to the hospital as she swore to not have something that spicy anymore! Mu Chenyan was frustrated at herself for being sent to the hospital because having too much spice. She took a number and waited. Thankfully, there were not many people waiting at night. The doctor diagnosed Mu Chenyan to have Acute Gastroenteritis. After Mu Chenyan was hooked up with an intravenous drip machine, Su Qingcheng apologized, Its my fault, I shouldnt have made you eat so many spicy foods! Mu Chenyan felt that Su Qingcheng was ming herself too much, so she said, Dont worry. I havent even thanked you for apanying me to City C to investigate Zhao Ruoxin. Its my own problem for having a weak constitution, why would I me you? The nurse looked at Mu Chenyan and flipped her notebook, asking, Mu Chenyan? Gastroenteritis? Mu Chenyan answered, Yes! The nurse trained her discerning eyes on Mu Chenyan. Her face was under a mask, but Mu Chenyan felt that she must be around the same age as herself. After finishing this, take a little rest. Best if you can stay here for an hour for observation before leaving! After saying that, the nurse exited the infusion room. Su Qingcheng looked at her watch. Its already almost morning. Might as well stay here and sleep until the morning. Indeed, Mu Chenyan felt much better after the treatment. Her stomach was no longer in pain, and sleepiness took her. The two womenid on the bed in the infusion room and promptly fell asleep. Mu Chenyan did not notice when the nurse returned to remove the syringe, which just speaks for how deeply she slept. As the morning arrived, patients who were admitted to the infusion room had begun to increase. Both the women were woken up by the bustle. Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan up. I should bring you back to the hotel to rest a little longer! Seeing how pale Mu Chenyan was still, Su Qingcheng wanted to piggyback her, to which she declined. They made their way to the entrance of the hospital, nning to call a cab when a white Honda came out of the parking area and approached them. Ady with shades stretched her head out and said, Miss Mu, I can give you a ride! Mu Chenyan was slightly taken aback. She knew she did not know anyone in City C, but thisdy called her Miss Mu...

Chapter 243: The Heart She Obtained Was Problematic

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was slightly taken aback. She knew she did not know anyone in City C, but thisdy called her Miss Mu... Seeing Mu Chenyans hesitation and surprise, thedy took off her shades and spoke after making sure no one was around. Miss Mus business in City C was to ask about Zhao Ruoxin, isnt it? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng shared a nce. None of them understood what was happening, so they kept quiet. Thedy in front looked familiar, they should have met her before. Mu Chenyan looked carefully and yelped in recognition, You are the nurse from before? ! ! ... Liang Zihan sent Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng to their hotel and entered their room after she had parked. As Mu Chenyans luck would have it, she was admitted into the hospital for eating spicy rabbit head, and because of that, met Zhao Ruoxins middle school ssmate as her nurse! Liang Zihan knew that Mu Chenyan was not well, so she declined Mu Chenyans suggestion to talk in a cafe, being very frank. Ive heard that you were asking around about Ruoxin. I knew some things about her, so Ill tell you in the hotel room! Su Qingcheng poured both of them a ss of warm water. Liang Zihan took it and said smilingly, What a coincidence, Ive just returned from outside the country! Mu Chenyan was a little hopeful after hearing that. If Liang Zihan had been in City C, Yuan Xuan had asked people to investigate, so they would not have missed her. If she had just returned to the country, there might be some breakthroughs. I just divorced and came back with my child. I was just taking over my aunt, or I wouldnt have met you two! Evidently, Liang Zihan was not a cunning person. Within a few sentences, she had already offered her entire backstory. Mu Chenyan looked at Su Qingcheng and asked Liang Zihan, Miss Liang, you said you were ssmates with Zhao Ruoxin, but are you close? Liang Zihan nodded and said, Thats right. We were ssmates in a small town. There werent that many people, to begin with. Ruoxin was not very social, you could say shes a cial beauty! Liang Zihans summary was reflective of Zhao Ruoxins characteristics. Mu Chenyan did not know Zhao Ruoxin in her teenage years, but she would not be surprised to call her not very sociable. Zhao Ruoxin sounded like the type to be very mature for her age. In the eyes of her peers, she would be called cold and solitudinous! Miss Liang, youre her friend? Su Qingcheng asked. You could say so! Liang Zihan smiled. Or you could say its because were alike! Seeing the confusion in Su Qingchengs eyes, Liang Zihan continued, When we were in school. we liked an older man at the same time... Su Qingcheng, ... Mu Chenyan was not surprised, she knew about Xia Tao. Xia Tao? Mu Chenyan blurted out then immediately regretted it. Zhao Ruoxin should still be quite young at that time. How would she know about Xia Tao? Liang Zihan was astonished, Xia Tao? That was after! Liang Zihan did not think Mu Chenyan would know Xia Tao as well, so now she began hesitating if she wants to continue talking. Dont worry, Im not rted to Xia Tao in any way. I just found out that Ruoxin was romantically linked with Xia Tao for a while! Liang Zihan might be sensitive about Xia Tao. From her gaze, it was understood that Mu Chenyan was trying to dispel Liang Zihans worries. Miss Liang, please continue! She liked our math teacher who already had children. The man I loved was my ex-husband, the old fart I married! Mu Chenyan was not interested in Liang Zihans ex-husband, but she was a little surprised to hear that Zhao Ruoxin liked her teacher in middle school. Zhao Ruoxin was a backslider. Xia Tao had imed that she had Electra Complex, indeed! Because we were so young when we liked older married men, we couldnt tell anyone else, so we confided in each other and became closer as a result! Liang Zihan exined her rtionship with Zhao Ruoxin, it seemed like they were really simr in nature. Zhao Ruoxin is currently in Luo Hais Yuan Family, do you know about that, Miss Liang? Mu Chenyan felt that even if she was fortunate enough to meet an old friend of Zhao Ruoxin, the womans willingness to divulge Zhao Ruoxins story was more than wanting to reminisce. Seeing Mu Chenyan showing her trump card, Liang Zihan stopped dilly-dallying and said, I know she has rooted herself in Luo Hais Yuan Family. I know her the most, and I need money! Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan shared a look. Before Su Qingcheng could say anything, Mu Chenyan stopped her and turned to Liang Zihan. Miss Liang, are you facing some kind of problems? Her voice was soft, enough to encourage people to shed their defenses around her. Liang Zihan inhaled deeply as her eyes reddened, My son was down with a serious illness. As Ive said, Im a divorcee. I have not been earning much after bringing him home, so I need money! Understandable! Mu Chenyan felt rested enough to get up. She propped her body up and utilized a tone that suggested business. I need to confirm the information you can divulge. If she was only going to reminisce, Mu Chenyan would not need to hear Liang Zihan out. She knew Zhao Ruoxin was a little dubious, but her current obsession was Yuan Xuan! Zhao Ruoxin has heart disease, do you know that? Liang Zihans eyes turned deep as she continued, The heart she obtained was problematic... Mu Chenyans cup trembled as she recalled following Zhao Ruoxin in disguise. She remembered hearing Xia Tao iming that he was the one who helped Zhao Ruoxin find her heart! Liang Zihan was worried and her face paled. Her breath wasbored as if it would take a lot of her valor just to keep talking. City C is different from Luo Hai. Its a tiny ce, and everyone knows everyone here. If you knew Xia Tao, you would understand that me talking about this is me risking my life... Liang Zihan might have exaggerated, but it was evident that she was scared. My aunt was the head nurse in the hospital and was part of the surgery which not many people know about! Maybe things like this were insider information. Liang Zihan knew that if the news was spread, Xia Tao could easily find out she was the one who spread the information, so her worry was not unfounded. In tiny ces like this, the scary ones were not the higher-ups! It was lesser figures like Xia Tao who were the real controller! Dont worry, Miss Liang. I will bring this piece of information back to Luo Hai. No one in City C would seek trouble with you! If youre still not at ease, you can take the money to evade the situation for a while! Mu Chenyan retrieved a bank card from her purse. That was the card Yuan Xuan gave her before she left. The unlimited ck card trope that always appears in bossy CEO novels, the kind that allows people to use the money callously. She did not expect Yuan Xuan to say, I cant give you too much money, or you would go crazy over there and dont know when toe home! Heres 500 thousand, do you want to check it out at the bank first? Mu Chenyan ced the card in Liang Zihans hands, a faint smile appearing in her eyes that has a calming effect. Liang Zihan shook and began to trust Mu Chenyan without subconsciously. She needed the money, her sons leukemia needed 400 thousand! Liang Zihan calmed herself down and murmured, Three years ago, there was an ident. A child was transferred into the hospital my aunt worked at. He didnt need to die, but his heart has extremely highpatibility with Zhao Ruoxin... Chapter 244 - A Conspiracy, A Murder

Chapter 244: A Conspiracy, A Murder

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Three years ago, there was a boy who got into an ident. He was sent to the hospital my aunt worked at, and he didnt need to die! But his heart was extremelypatible with Zhao Ruoxin. Xia Tao was with Zhao Ruoxin at the time. She was with him, but he couldnt touch her. With this heart, he could do whatever he wants... When Liang Zihan was telling the story, her heart shuddered! She was afraid to have revealed a conspiracy, a murder! The boys parents went missing in the ident and turned out to have been transported downstream when the car turned over under the bridge. When that happens, the teen became an orphan... Not only she was shuddering. Su Qingcheng held her fist tightly and asked, You mean, the boys heart was taken out of him before he died? Liang Zihan kept quiet, signifying her acquiescence. The heart was sh frozen as soon as it was taken out, and soon the surgery was executed for Zhao Ruoxin! With bleary eyes, Mu Chenyan croaked, You said Zhao Ruoxins heart surgery was three years ago? Not one year ago? It was indeed three years ago! Liang Zihan was perturbed and hesitated to speak. Mu Chenyan sounded really confused, You are sure its not one year ago? Liang Zihan took a deep breath and steeled herself, continuing, Not long ago, some people came to City C and forced the hospital to alter the record for some reason! Because of Xia Tao, there werent many people who knew about the surgery. My aunt was just one of the nurses in service back then... These people even threatened the people there not to divulge the secret! They gave them a lot of money. The two chief surgeons were afraid something would happen and moved out of the country. My aunt died of sickness soon after that! Not long after that, I heard Zhao Ruoxin went to Luo Hai and into the Yuan Family! Mu Chenyan finally understood why Yuan Xuans people did not find that piece of information out, someone got to the information first! If the surgery was three years ago, why would Zhao Ruoxin want to say that it was one year ago? These people were not Xia Taos... Noticing Su Qingcheng looking at her, Mu Chenyan twittered. Xia Tao obtained a heart using his power and influence in order to maintain a romantic rtionship with Zhao Ruoxin, and the second group of people could be there to help Zhao Ruoxin entering Yuan Family! Su Qingcheng almost blurted out a question of whether that was Mu Chenwu. However, another thought came. Wu Huai had reminded her not to let Mu Chenyan know about the rtionship between Mu Chenwu and this event. At this moment, she should be shutting up. No matter what, Mu Chenwu was Mu Chenyans brother. Friendships could sink when it implicated such a huge issue. Su Qingcheng swallowed his saliva and asked lightly, Miss Liang, do you know anything else about Zhao Ruoxin? Liang Zihan thought and smiled bitterly. After leaving the country for two years, I havent seen her since. My life was not good, and my mind was not in a good ce. I almost forgot how she looked like! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan took her phone and searched for a picture of Zhao Ruoxin, showing it to Liang Zihan. The Zhao Ruoxin now must be quite different from what you knew, isnt it? Liang Zihan looked at the woman in the photo with a sad, yearning expression. She took her friends changes quite badly. Things change. Zhao Ruoxin had moved to City C with her mother as a burden. Her stepfather was a pathological gambler and would abuse her verbally and physically. That caused the girl to develop a sense of inferiority and distance that showed even in her eyes. The woman in the photo had a cigarette between her fingers and was so arrogant, her eyes were filled with an indescribable self-confidence and haughtiness, it was as if she was born into that life. Even Xia Tao who sat across her looked a little timid. In the past, Zhao Ruoxin had always been the mature-, clever-type, which was the main reason Xia Tao willingly groomed her before he even touched her. He even made illegal transactions in order to lie with her! Liang Zihan looked at the photo for quite a while. She could not understand how a woman could change so drastically only after moving to Luo Hai for a year. Miss Mu, are you sure that this woman is Zhao Ruoxin? Liang Zihans eyes were dreamy. She had not seen Zhao Ruoxin since two to three years ago after she had gone out of the country. She still looked the same, but her temperaments were so inordinately different, Liang Zihan could not ept it as an old friend! Mu Chenyan frowned. Her brain was operating at high speed before she finally asked, trembling, Where do you think is questionable? This is Zhao Ruoxin, do you remember if she had any unique characteristics? Liang Zihan stood up and paced around the room thinking about a question. A long while passed before she said. I knew her pretty well. She didnt have tertiary education, only a diploma. She could have met Xia Tao during that period. It was an extramarital affair. To hide from the public eye, Xia Tao bought a vi in the Eastern suburbia. I only knew that because Xia Tao went on a business trip once when Ruoxin was having a heart attack. She called me out of desperation, and it was then that I knew she had be a sugar baby... Why didnt she call her parents? Su Qingcheng understood a little bit about Zhao Ruoxin from Mu Chenyan and was curious why this woman would call her friend in a situation like this. Her parents had never cared for her. Every month, Xia Tao would send her parents some money, and her gambler dad dropped everything the minute he has money! Her mother was cowardly and would just turn a blind eye. Liang Zihans description of Zhao Yanni was so chilling to Mu Chenyan. No wonder Zhao Ruoxin was so cold toward her mother. Zhao Ruoxin was pretty then, but she carries herself very different;y from the woman in the photo. From the shine in her eyes, she doesnt even look the same... Liang Zihans words caused a chill down Mu Chenyans spine. A scary thought formed in her mind... ... After sending Liang Zihan away, Mu Chenyan snatched her phone up and dialed a number. Wu Ze did not expect Mu Chenyan to call so early. His voice was low but hid a hint of a smile. Little Chenyan? What is it? Mu Chenyan tried to keep her voice calm. Big Brother Wu, have you read Qingers autopsy report? Mm, multiple times! What is it, why do you ask? Wu Ze did not understand. He knew his brother had sent Mu Chenyan to the East Bridge for an assignment. She was not even back yet, why did she ask about Qinger? Big Brother Wu, please try to remember to the best of your ability. Does her autopsy report mention a cinnabar mole on the outside of her left breast? Mu Chenyan suddenly felt nauseated. When she was waiting for Wu Ze to answer, she already had an answer of her own! Cinnabar mole? Wu Ze thought carefully before answering, There isnt one. Why do you ask? Chapter 245 - Big Brother, Those Two Chicks Just Came Out

Chapter 245: Big Brother, Those Two Chicks Just Came Out

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan suddenly found it hard to breathe. As she waited for Wu Zes reply, she actually had an answer in her heart already. Cinnabar mole? Wu Ze thought carefully before answering, There isnt one. Why do you ask? Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans face paled as she hung up, her palms were sweaty. Chenyan, what happened? What did you find out? Su Qingcheng reached out to check Mu Chenyans forehead. Because of the gastroenteritis, she had vomited terribly yesterday night and did not sleep well. Coupled with the fluctuating of emotions, Mu Chenyan was feeling giddy at the moment. Qingcheng, I dont know if Ive guessed it correctly... Mu Chenyan spoke with much difficulty as she looked at Su Qingcheng. Although they had not known each other for long, she trusted Su Qingcheng. I think that the one who died wasnt Shu Qinger but Zhao Ruoxin. The one whos living with the Yuan Family currently is Shu Qinger! Su Qingcheng stared with eyes wide open and could not make any sense of it. What are you talking about? The one who died wasnt Shu Qinger? How do you know? It was a big case that had rocked Luo Hai back then, and the person involved had died for many years; but Mu Chenyan, who had been wrongly imprisoned for two years, imed that the deceased was not Shu Qinger! What exactly is going on? Su Qingcheng sat down and checked Mu Chenyans forehead with her hand once again, making sure that she was not raving due to the fever. Qingcheng, about this matter, I dont have any solid proof. Liang Zihan had said it earlier. She dared not believe the woman in the photo was Zhao Ruoxin. Im only making a bold guess. I dont know yet how did Zhao Ruoxin swap with Qinge. But I do know that when Qinger went traveling in Ennd and Yuan Xuan brought us all for a swim, and in the dressing room, I spotted a cinnabar mole on the outer part of Qingers left chest. However, there wasnt one on the deceased! Su Qingcheng also had a certain understanding of that case. She got up and stared out of the window. After pondering for a while, she then said, What youve said is also possible. The murderer back then was extremely brutal, taking the fetus and even destroying the inner organs of the corpse... Su Qingcheng paused for a while. Even a tough girl like her had difficulty imagining that gory scene. No one knew how much hatred the murderer had to be this atrocious! Hence, at the time of the autopsy, no one realized that she had had a heart transnt. However, the exterior of the bodys chest was not damaged. If there was a cinnabar mole on the left chest, it was impossible to miss it! Mu Chenyan understood Su Qingchengs description of the scenario. After all, she was one of the parties involved at that time. Those dark days were openly exposed once again. Mu Chenyan was under tremendous psychological pressure as now she also had to prove that the deceased was not Shu Qinger. What a mockery it was! Qingcheng, lets leave and not stay in City C any longer. Lets hurry back to Luo Hai. If we want to verify this matter, theres someone who would definitely know the inside story! Before Mu Chenyan had finished, Su Qingcheng interjected, Zhao Yanni? ... The construction of the oilfield in Nan Hai District had begun. Yuan Xuan had been busy for these few days, but there was an empty feeling in his heart. He was aware that the feeling was because of him missing someone! That woman had gone out of town for more than a week and had not returned yet. The man who had lost his soul was feeling frustrated every day. He secretly decided that he would not simply let her go out the next time. This was a great disturbance! Shao Yibai did not report to him that Mu Chenyan had gone to City C. The reason was very simple. Shao Yibai felt that it was sufficient with him alone. If Yuan Xuan had known that Mu Chenyan hade to City C, he would havee all the way to bring her back. Nheless, the works in that oil field had just begun, and Yuan Xuan could not walk away. Shao Yibai thought to himself, the man who should be focusing on making money should not be running about. As an overseer ambassador from Capital City, Shao Yibai felt that Yuan Xuan should not simply abandon his post. Yes, Shao Yibai was such an *sshole. ... Su Qingcheng nned to stay for another night so that Mu Chenyan could have some rest. After all, she had been sick. Chenyan was not like her, who had a body that was seasoned in battle. Mu Chenyan could not persuade Su Qingcheng and could only agree to stay on, extending their room for another night. Su Qingcheng bought the tickets online, while Mu Chenyan took out her phone and could not help but call that all too familiar number. Having left for so many days, the two had been keeping in touch through messaging. The beeping tone indicating the unanswered call repeatedly tapped on Mu Chenyans heart. Without knowing why, she wanted to hear Yuan Xuans voice. Only then would she feel at ease. Mu Chenyan realized that actually, she had never let go of Yuan Xuan in her heart... Amid his hectic schedule, the moment the man heard the ringtone he had designated for her call, he gestured at the board members in the meeting without hesitation. Xiao Wang, the engineer who was making his speech, immediately stopped. Everyone looked at their own CEO, his face clear and bright as he spoke with infinite tender into the phone, Shouldnt you being home now? Little Chenyan! Woah! A new continent! A great discovery! All the employees were stunned as they became silent like a cicada in cold weather. Half of the mans face was attached to the phone, his dark pupils glimmering faintly and the corner of his eyes filled with delight. He asked with his deep voice, After leaving for so many days, youre missing me too, arent you? All the employees were abruptly showered with a public disy of affection. There were aged elders among the members of the board, and there were also the young members from the technology department in todays meeting. Be it the young or old, when had they ever seen Third Young Master in such a manner? Mu Chenyan was not aware of the situation on the other side. She was embarrassed to speak such intimate words with Yuan Xuan in front of Su Qingcheng. Mmm. Yuan Xuan continued to ask persistently, Tell me, did you miss me? What he wanted to hear was not just a Mmm. Mu Chenyan turned away. She could feel the hot breath of the man on the other side through the phone. She was really too shy to say such intimate words, but her heart honestly nodded to him. Especially after knowing that Shu Qinger might still be alive, Mu Chenyan, who had never been jealous of Zhao Ruoxin, now felt a sense of danger in her heart. Little Chenyan, say it out. The mans tone was gentle yet domineering, his narrowed eyes were gleaming with a dazzling brightness. Yuan Xuan... I... Mu Chenyan blushed. Under Su Qingchengs questioning gaze, she mumbled softly, I miss you... A smile emerged in the corner of Yuan Xuans lips, his voice extremely warm. If you miss me, then quicklye home. Youve been running wild on the outside. Mu Chenyan softly uttered another sound. Hanging up the call, her cheeks were still burning. A deep smile appeared on Su Qingchengs pretty face. Mu Chenyan saw her looks and was somewhat diffident. Are we still going out for dinner? Su Qingcheng put on a straight face and replied, What else is there to eat? Im already full from your public disy of affection! Hearing Su Qingcheng ridiculing her, Mu Chenyan smiled, and there was a touch of warmth to her gloomy mood. Come, Ill treat you. Su Qingcheng ran her slender fingers through her hair and smiled, Are we still eating spicy hotpot? Mu Chenyan shook her head like a rattle-drum. I dont dare to eat it anymore even if I have to die. Su Qingcheng guffawed and tugged Mu Chenyans hand along as she walked out. Turning around the corner of the hotel, a man took out his phone and called a number, Big Brother, those two chicks just came out. Chapter 246 - Learning of Things That Shouldnt Have Been Known

Chapter 246: Learning of Things That Shouldnt Have Been Known

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Turning around the corner of the hotel, a man took out his phone and called a number, Brother Sheng, those two chicks just came out. ... On thest night of their stay in City C, Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng went exploring the street that was rather popr with street snacks. It was April, and the weather was lukewarm, hence it was the perfect opportunity to visit the night market. There was a hubbub of sounds, and all kinds of items were avable for sale. Su Qingcheng walked and ate at the same time, trying every kind of snack. Still preupied with the load on her mind, Mu Chenyan did not eat much during dinner. Su Qingcheng bought some snacks which she thought was delicious and nned to bring them back to the hotel in case Mu Chenyans appetite improvedter on and she could eat them at night. After walking some distance, the two reached the end of the snack street. This was not a wide road. Compared with the bustling snacks street, it was particrly secluded here. The streetmps were somewhat dim, elongating ones shadow. On the roadside were sparsely mottled shadows, and it was full of trees and bushes. At the abundant flower beds, one or two insects would asionally jump out of it. If she was not following Su Qingcheng, Mu Chenyan would never have dared to walk along such a path. However, this path was the nearer way to the hotel. The two walked alongside each other, talking andughing, not noticing that a ck van had blocked the exit behind them. Su Qingchengs alertness was much sensitive than Mu Chenyan. When she realized that there was a problem after walking half-way, she suddenly pulled Mu Chenyan and said in a low voice, Chenyan, if theres dangerter, dont bother me and just run toward the main road. Mu Chenyan was startled. Only then did she remember to look around. Apart from the few pedestrians, two brawny men had obstructed the way behind, and two burly fellows suddenly appeared from the shop in front. Four people and one car; sealing the path into a dead end! Mu Chenyan knew intuitively that trouble had befallen them. She tugged Su Qingchengs arm, but saw that Su Qingcheng had already got into herbat mode. Qingcheng,e with me... Mu Chenyan tried to keep herposure. Unlike Su Qingchengs confidence and coolness, although Mu Chenyan was not skilled in martial arts, she had experienced many storms in life and was a woman who had seen life and death on a battlefield. The brawny men did not give them time to think and made a dash at them. One of them bellowed, You two b*tches,e with us! Should we just do as you say? Bah! Su Qingchengs handsome face was tainted with a bloody ruthlessness. She pushed Mu Chenyan aside and shouted, Run! Dont look back! Mu Chenyans legs were somewhat feeble. Having pushed aside by Su Qingcheng, she shouted back, Qingcheng, be careful... Su Qingcheng was already entangled in a fight with two of the brawny fellows. Both her legs had locked onto one of the fellows waist, and with a somersault, she hurled the fellow to one side, crashing onto his other partner just nice. The three dropped onto the floor simultaneously. The two men fell heavily. To be exact, they were not prepared. They had not expected this weak chick to be that capable of fighting. Su Qingcheng deftly did a kip up, going into the air andnding back on her feet. When the two other burly fellows saw that the tide had turned against them, they rushed over. One of them charged at Mu Chenyan, while the other dashed to help his partners. The one who darted at Mu Chenyan had a fierce look and said ferociously, B*tch, your death sentence is here. Youve learned of things you shouldnt have known about, and you still think that you can leave City C alive? Mu Chenyan was so frightened that she kept moving backward. Although her body was trembling, she would not lose her bearing. Coldly eyeing the fellow, she reached into her backpack. The fellow rushed over and grabbed Mu Chenyans shoulder. Suddenly, one could only hear an agonizing screaming from him as he covered his face and retreated, hitting the curb, falling, and rolling on the ground. Mu Chenyan had a pepper spray in her hand. Her look was merciless and menacing... She ruthlessly kicked the fellow on the ground in his stomach a few times and scolded, Didnt your mother teach you to speak nicely? Who are you calling b*tch? The man was almost out of breath from Mu Chenyans kicks, and he yelped non-stop. F*ck, who said that the task today was to deal with two fragile women? Damn, Ill scr*w this person when I get back! This b*tch is hitting so unrelentingly. Hows she f*cking fragile? The man waiting in the van on the other side saw that four brawny fellows had actually lost out to two women while trying to catch them Su Qingcheng was fighting against three, while Mu Chenyan had put down one. How could this be four men kidnapping two weak women? It was clearly two heroines battling with four men! When the man in the driver seat saw this, he could not wait any longer. He got down and reprimanded, You pieces of trash! Four men cant even deal with two chicks. Wait till you get back and Brother Sheng will skin you all alive... While speaking, he furiously darted at Mu Chenyan. Su Qingcheng already had a hard time dealing with three fellows. If another one was toe at them at this moment, she would not be able to protect Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan hurriedly turned around and fled as the man behind pursued relentlessly. The pedestrians did not know what was going on and they dodged aside out of fear. No one lent a helping hand. After running a few paces, Mu Chenyan felt that the man behind was almost reaching her. In her heart, she was muttering, Oh no, Ill be dead this time! Without knowing why, her mind was filled with Yuan Xuans exceptionally handsome face, and she could not help but tearfully cried out, Yuan Xuan! Save me! She knew it was useless. Still, she just wanted to shout it out! Ah! Just when Mu Chenyan felt that she would certainly be a corpse that was abandoned on the street, she heard a tragic howling from the man behind. Mu Chenyan stopped in her tracks and turned around in jitters, only to see Shao Yibai, with his bloody eyes that were filled with murderous intent, giving a flying kick to the thug from one side and causing him to roll onto the ground. Leaping into the air, Shao Yibais tough elbow, which was like a reinforced metal, jabbed into the mans chest. One could only hear a cracking sound... That would have been the breaking of the ribs! The manying on the ground instantly went quiet. Mu Chenyan was safe, and she could not believe that Shao Yibai would actually appear out of nowhere as if he had descended from the sky! She nced around. Was Yuan Xuan here as well? On the other side, Su Qingcheng was physically strained and had sustained injuries to her elbows and legs. The woman with strongbat power was not concerned about her injuries though. Her icy gaze had a murderous aura as she delivered heavy blows to the three men. Shao Yibai watched his woman persisted in battle like a warrior, and a bloodthirsty smile emerged in the corner of his lips. It was extremely dangerously alluring! Daisy, go y aside. Leave them to me to practice my skills! As Shao Yibai shouted, he had already charged at them. When Su Qingcheng heard Shao Yibais voice, her uptight being instantly loosened up. She retreated to one side and exited the battlefield. When Mu Chenyan ran over and spotted the wounds all over Su Qingchengs fair elbows and legs, her heart ached for her and her tears began to flow. Its alright, Chenyan. Dont be upset. These are just minor wounds. Are you hurt? While Su Qingcheng wasforting Mu Chenyan, the three men had all been put down by Shao Yibai and were begging for forgiveness on the ground... Well leave them to the police. Lets go. Half an hourter, the police who had been dispatched surrounded this path and used stretchers and handcuffs to greet the five thugs as they apprehended them back to the police station. In the hotel, Mu Chenyan asked for some gauzes and disinfectant to clean and dress Su Qingchengs wounds. Who wants to kill the two of you? Do you know? After much silence, Shao Yibai asked coldly. Chapter 247 - Shao Yibai, You Weren’t This Stubborn Back Then

Chapter 247: Shao Yibai, You Werent This Stubborn Back Then

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Who wants to kill the two of you? Do you know? After much silence, Shao Yibai asked coldly. Weve only been in City C for three days, how could we make any enemies? As Mu Chenyan replied, she carefully wiped the blood from Su Qingchengs wounds. Su Qingcheng did not wail in pain, but it was Mu Chenyan who grimaced in pain as she looked on. What did you alle to City C for? Shao Yibais tone was nd, but it was an indisputable question. When he first tailed these two women, he had not given much thought to it, thinking that the two were just touring around. Little did he expect that it would nearly cost them their lives! Su Qingcheng kept a straight face, seemingly not wanting to respond to Shao Yibai even though he was their savior. Mu Chenyan secretly took a peek at Su Qingcheng. She clearly dared not answer that she had dragged Su Qingcheng along to investigate Zhao Ruoxin. If Shao Yibai knew about it, then Yuan Xuan would also be informed of it. About Qinger, everything was just her spection. This was a grave matter, and before she had investigated thoroughly, Mu Chenyan did not want Yuan Xuan to know anything about it. Shao Yibai watched the two women resisting him with silence and chuckled. He took over the sterilized cotton swab and disinfectant from Mu Chenyan and said in a low voice, Miss Mu, let me do it. Mu Chenyan nced at Su Qingcheng. Although she could see that she was protesting with her eyes, Mu Chenyan opened her hands and indicated that there was nothing she could do about it... Shao Yibai got up and gave Mu Chenyan a room key. Mu Chenyan saw that it was just next door. The intelligent Chenyan knew that this was the time for her to disappear from sight. She went away swiftly. Before Su Qingcheng could stop her, she was already pressed onto the bed by Shao Yibai. Lie still, and lift up your clothes! Her back was burning with pain. Su Qingcheng was also aware that when she had fallen to the ground, she must have hurt her back. However, she felt awkward to have Shao Yibai helping to put medicine on her. Whats there to be embarrassed about? Shao Yibai smiled sinisterly. Which part of your body have I not seen before? Hmm? Su Qingcheng face flushed red out of anger. She bit her lips lightly and disyed a manner of unwillingness. Shao Yibai became very patient at this moment. Daisy, Ill wait for you here. She knew that even if this stand-offsted till the morning, this man would still disy such an attitude. Su Qingcheng turned her face away and angrilyid on her stomach on the bed. Shao Yibai lifted her pale blue id shirt to reveal the traces of blood on her back, which had already dried on the shirt. He touched the wounded spot. It was a grazed wound, and the area injured was ratherrge, but at least it was not deep. However, Su Qingcheng broke out in cold sweat as a result of the pain and bit on her lips even harder. Shao Yibai noticed that and gave her one of his arms. His other hand took the cotton swab and dabbed some povidone-iodine, and he said softly, Dont bite your own lips. Dont you always bite me back in the days? A corner of Su Qingchengs heart was hit hard! She looked at the arm in front of her. It was still as tough as a metal like before. The bronze skin had an alluring sheen that was unique to men. She hesitated for a bit and buried her face into his elbow pit without saying anything at all. When Shao Yibai saw her manner, his heart melted... The cotton swab touched on her wounds, and it was slightly painful and itchy. Su Qingcheng let out a groan. Her cutesy manner was vastly different from the tough woman she was on the path earlier on. Shao Yibais lips twitched and smiled. He ced hisrge hand on her back. The ces that were not hurt were as smooth as ever, and there was the fragrance of a young girl. A shudder passed through Su Qingcheng. She wanted to resist, but Shao Yibaisrge hand exerted some force and pressed her onto the bed once more. Even though her back was facing him, Su Qingcheng still felt so shy that she wanted to hid her face. She dared not look in his direction but could only warn quietly, Stop it! Not only did Shao Yibai not stop, but the area hisrge hand yed about went even wider... Su Qingcheng was mad from shame, and she cursed in a low voice, Rascal! Shao Yibai, you have the military rank of a major general. Dont you think that youre acting like a hooligan now? Oh? Miss Su, Ive forgotten to inform you that Ive retired from the military. Shao Yibais tone was bored stiff, and hisrge hand was still restless. Su Qingcheng continued saying, Even if youve retired, youve gotten honors before. Taking liberties with a woman is a disgrace to those honors! Su Qingcheng, dont you f*cking talk to me about the past! Did you secretly leave me because of that back then? Although Shao Yibai trifled with life, he had always treated women politely. This kind of resentful words had really been spouted out without any thoughts. I dont want to talk about the past with you! Su Qingcheng pped her arms to sit up on the bed. Her hair was a slight mess, but it could not impede her splendid charm. Shao Yibai, you werent this stubborn back then! Ive already made it clear to you. Whether it was in the past or in the near future, its impossible for us! Initially, he was admiring the unmatched beauty of this woman, but this woman was this unromantic and had spouted out such a sentence. Su Qingchengs wordspletely enraged Shao Yibai. He flung away the cotton swab, got up, and threw himself at the woman who had just sat up on the bed. Su Qingcheng could not react in time and was at a disadvantage. When she came to her senses, she was already pinned under him. A piercing pain came from the part of her back that had just been applied with medicine. She frowned and looked up but was met with the mans furious gaze. Id like to see how is it impossible? As he said, Shao Yibai pulled apart her shirt. The buttons came off and flew everywhere. If you dont believe, I can even cause you to be in utter misery and not be able to live nor die in bed! In the past, he had truly been someone as such! Hearing that, Su Qingchengs heart skipped a beat. Her hands pushed against his chest as she raged, Dont you bring up the past! Seeing that she did not even allow him to mention the past, he was suddenly filled with mixed feelings. Those who knew him had said that all his wait during these few years would avail to nothing. Since this woman could leave quietly without any news, she must be a heartless person! This much was expected! Who said that he did not have any grievances these few years? When men felt wronged, they could be even more aggrieved than women! Those are in the past, and there isnt any trace in the first ce, so I hope that youll forget all about it and stop living in the past. Now, you are you, and I am me. Isnt that good? As Su Qingcheng spoke, she began to choke up a little. Hearing that, the tensed up emotions in Shao Yibai was about to erupt. Suddenly, he was like a lion that had lost control. He opened his mouth and bit on Su Qingchengs snowy shoulder. Youve forgotten all about our past? Well then, from now on, Ill leave traces for you so that you wont forget it your whole life, alright? That was one of the few uninjured ces, but it was bitten by this mad man! Are you f*cking crazy? The extremely furious Su Qingcheng lifted her hand and pped Shao Yibai in the face. Let go of me! Shao Yibai was stunned. Always, it had been him who hit others, but fromst time until now, he had been repeatedly hit by Su Qingcheng... However, even though he was beaten, he would never bear to hit her back. He only red at the woman underneath him with eyes that could spurt out a fire. Therge hand that was tasked with invading had ceased its actions. Su Qingcheng continued to utter coldly, Let go of me! Chapter 248 - Your Woman Met with Danger in City C

Chapter 248: Your Woman Met with Danger in City C

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion None of the two gave in, and they confronted each other as such. In terms of martial arts, Su Qingcheng was never Shao Yibais opponent. However, in the confrontation between a man and a woman, there had to be a party that would be the weaker side. Shao Yibai suddenly caught a glimpse of the faint blood trace tainted on the white bed sheet and recalled that he had just thrown himself on her and that she had injured her back earlier on. You should change your clothes. Shao Yibais gaze suddenly became gentle, and there were traces of destion in his hoarse voice. Daisy, I wont force you. Ill give you some time. Hopefully, you dont force me as well... Su Qingcheng had never seen Shao Yibai in this manner. He had always been a tough guy, one who could not be hurt at all, but now it was as if he had died in the war of love. Su Qingcheng hurriedly got up and fled to the washroom. A quarter of an hourter, when she had changed her clothes and came out, Shao Yibai was spotted sitting at the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers. The sparks had died down. In between the light and the dark, coolness and destion were seen on the mans handsome face. Seeing that Su Qingcheng had changed, Shao Yibai nodded at her, got up, and walked over to her side. He suddenly held her head with a hand and nted a kiss on her forehead. Rest well. Ill bring you two back to Luo Hai tomorrow. The sneak attack on her head caused her to feel a burning sensation on her forehead. Su Qingcheng dared not lift her head to look into the mans intense gaze. ... After Mu Chenyan came back from the room next door, Su Qingcheng was seen burying her head into the nket, and her shoulders were shuddering... ... The police in City C did not expect that the Major General of the Shao Family from Capital City would encounter danger in City C. From the bureau chief down to the policemen, everyone felt troubled and uneasy. Bureau Chief Liu, who was returning Shao Yibais call the next day, broke out into a sweat. Major General... Just call me Shao Yibai. Those military ranks are not suitable for use here. Shao Yibai casually remarked. He was not the kind who put on airs. In the army back then, he was also a unique presence. Trifling with life and mucking about; he would cause the new recruits to grumble a lot, but he could also mingle with them in private. Sure, sure, sure, Mr Shao, Im here on behalf of the Public Security Department to offer my apologies... Bureau Chief Liu hated those thugs. City C had never had a major case in over a century, but just when Shao Yibai appeared, such an incident had actually happened! Theres no need to apologize. Shao Yibai spun the lighter in his hand and said in a deep voice, Interrogate those rogues, and find out whos the culprit. I want results! Bureau Chief Liu replied in agreement, Thats for sure. Those who dare to provoke the superiors dont cherish their lives anymore! Hanging up the call, Shao Yibai felt that he had gone slightly overboard by hiding Mu Chenyans whereabouts from Yuan Xuan. He then dialed Yuan Xuans number. Your woman met with danger in City C. ... Mu Chenyan did not expect that just as she was about to leave City C, Yuan Xuan would descend from the heavens that afternoon itself. Truly, he had descended from the heavens! The helicopter designated for the oil field flew straight from Luo Hai to City C. At City Cs small military airport, Mu Chenyan watched the man came down from the helicopter d in a ck windbreaker. The handsome face was quite anxious. He saw Mu Chenyan feeling terribly ashamed and that she had lowered her head like a child who had done wrong. He had wanted to re up at first, but he did not have the mood to do so now. Youre growing more guts. Yuan Xuan hugged Mu Chenyan and muttered to her ears, You actually came here alone and had pretended to go on a business trip to East Bridge! Mu Chenyan could hear the anger in the mans voice. She had wanted to quibble, but after experiencing yesterday nights shock and seeing him now, she wrapped his arms around his waist, and her voice went soft. Ive really gone to work... but after finishing, I came here... You didnt ask me where I was, so Ive didnt lie to you exactly... Mmm! What Mrs Yuan said makes sense. Yuan Xuans tone was gentle, and there were even traces of mockery in his eyes. If I dont ask in the phone, could it be that I wont even know if Mistress had gone to the moon? The moon has no telmunication signal... Mu Chenyan lowered her head and replied quietly. This damn woman. She still had the mood to quibble even now! Yuan Xuan knitted his brows together and turned around to ask Shao Yibai. Who ordered the attack? There was a cold and merciless chill in his tone. When this man was enraged, the consequence would be terrible! The interrogation is still going on. If youre not leaving today, you can go and check it outter on. Shao Yibai had beaten them up heavily. Those men were half-alive, and theyid in the hospital as they were interrogated by the police. You bring them home first. Ill go and have a look. Yuan Xuan made the arrangements and said. He looked at Mu Chenyan and told Yan Jun, When you return to Luo Hai, Mistress has fallen sick. Apply a medical leave for her. Im not sick. Hearing that, Mu Chenyan knew that he was confining her, and she whined as she defended herself. Mistress, better dont speak anymore. Yan Jun quickly stopped Mu Chenyan and gave her a look. Yuan Xuans expression was already extremely unsightly, and it would not do her any good to continue talking. ... The moment the police station received news that the Yuan Familys Third Young Master had arrived at City C from Luo Hai, the honorable one had already appeared at the front door with his bodyguards. Tian Qi followed behind Yuan Xuan, and his face was dark and grim, just like his master. Bureau Chief Liu jogged all the way. He was already near the age of retirement, and he did not expect that he would have to bear such a transgression at such an age. He had been frightened by Shao Yibai in the morning, and someone from Luo Hais Yuan Family had actuallye in the afternoon! The man who was soaked in sweat was all smiles when he saw Yuan Xuan. Third Young Master Yuan, what has brought you here? You see, back then, I and your father and uncle... Bureau Chief Liu, Im not here to talk about the former times. Yuan Xuan was cultured and elegant. His in tone had the air of a gentleman. The victim of yesterdays incident was my Mistress. When Bureau Chief Liu heard that, it was as if all his strength had left him. He supported himself with the handle of the armchair and said with his low voice, Its our mistake, our mistake... We had slipped up in the area of security. Im already working on the case. The leader is called Brother Sheng, and hes the mafia boss in City C. Ive sent men to arrest him. Bureau Chief had known from earlier on that this Brother Sheng was not a well-behaved man. He was finallying to his end! Yuan Xuan did not utter a single word. His gaze was intense as he stared at Bureau Chief Liu, who started wiping the sweat off his forehead again. Rest assured Third Young Master, this time, I dont condone his behavior! Bureau Chief Liu swore, and he could not wait to tear Brother Sheng apart. If Bureau Chief Liu had not indulged him from the beginning, perhaps there wont be todays matter. Yuan Xuan casually remarked, but he was actually criticizing this soon-to-be-retired bureau chief, who had only enjoyed the benefits of his position but did no work at all. Bureau Chief Liu trembled in fear and repeatedly answered, Yes, yes. Yuan Xuans identity was not scary, but the powers behind him were terrifying... Bureau Chief Liu knew that this young one before him just need to simply give a call when he got back to Luo Hai, and his life of a retiree could be changed into life in prison. ... Brother Sheng was arrested very soon, and as usual, he did not resist at all but brazenly followed those who had apprehended him to the police station. However, what was different from the previous times was that he did not know that he would not be able to leave easily this time. Bureau Chief sent in a few able-bodied police and in less than half an hour, the interrogation yielded a result. Howe its Xia Tao? Hearing the policemen reported that Xia Tao was the one who had hired them to kill, Bureau Chief Liu patted his forehead and thought to himself what a disaster this was. Xia Tao was his colleague. He was a righteous man and had served in the force for many years. The only tarnish on his reputation was probably that case with the woman whose surname was Zhao a few years back... Bureau Chief Liu said to his secretary, Quickly inform Old Xia to get away and lie low till the dust has settled. As they were colleagues for many years, Bureau Chief Liu could not bear to see anything bad happen to Xia Tao. The only thing he could do was to help him escape. At this time, a policeman named Xiao Wang came running in him with a pale face and said incoherently, Bureau... Bureau Chief Liu... Bureau Chief Xia has... He hasmitted suicide... Chapter 249 - Mu Chenyan Took out Her Trump Card by Playing the Family Card

Chapter 249: Mu Chenyan Took out Her Trump Card by ying the Family Card

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was not aware of the major changes in City C. After Yuan Xuan came back, he only said that someone hadmitted the crime for their wealth. Regarding this statement, Yuan Xuan was actually not convinced of it as well. However, Xia Tao had died, and in order to protect his colleagues reputation, Bureau Chief Liu had covered up for Xia Tao and reported to Yuan Xuan that the act was due to greed for money. One could not beat someone on their own turf. If Yuan Xuan were to utilize his connections within the boundary of City C, Bureau Chief Liu was the obstacle. After some thoughts, he decided to head back to Luo Hai before making any moves. Anyway, that Brother Sheng need not think ofing out of prison in his lifetime! Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng were escorted back to Luo Hai and were reported sick so that they were on leave and had to stay at home. As for the article for the operation this time, Mu Chenyan had passed it to Zhang Xin earlier on. Hence, during this break, she was totally good-for-nothing. However, the information she had gotten in City C kept weighing on her mind. Mu Chenyan thought that since she was confined at home by Yuan Xuan, so long as that man did not cool down, there was no way she could go out. She needed an opportunity to go to the hospital to see whether she could obtain any useful information from Zhao Yanni. However, how could she avoid arousing Yuan Xuans suspicion? Mu Chenyan came up with an idea. Of course, she would go in the name of visiting Yan Mei! Zhao Yannister stage of treatment was done at Sheng Yu Hospital, and it so happened that Yan Mei was also staying there. ... Mu Chenyan arrived at Sheng Yu Hospital and went to see her mother first. Although every time she came, her mother remained the same and was just lying peacefully there with her fair skin reflecting the weakness of havingid on the bed for a long time, and that she was unaware of the outside world and did not give any reaction; even though her mother was as such, her being alive itself gave Mu Chenyan lots offort and courage. She cleaned Yan Meis body and retrieved the perfume from her bag to spray some of it on her mother. Mother, this is the daisy perfume that you liked the most. Yan Mei used to be a graceful woman, and the reason Mu Chenyan did that was just to get some constion. Her brother was in exile, and his whereabouts were unknown. In Luo Hai, Yan Mei was Mu Chenyans only family. Coming out of the ward, Mu Chenyan went to the nurses station and checked the ward number. Yan Mei was on the seventh floor. Zhao Yanni and Yan Meis wards were two floors apart. Mu Chenyan was not sure if the Yuan Family had stationed someone to stand guard, hence she pretended to lost her way while making it to the ninth floor. Most of the patients had been discharged, but Zhao Yannis state was not that well, hence even after she was released from the hospital at theter period, she would still have to undergo theter stage of psychiatric rehabilitation. On the day the Zong He case happened, she had consumed tons of hallucinogens, which was why she ran to the mountain at the back in the middle of the night. It had been a month since the incident, and Zhao Yanni was gradually regaining her consciousness. However, her body was still very weak. The Yuan Family did not mind the hospital cost, so while other people would go home to recuperate, Zhao Yanni was still staying in the VIP ward. There was not anyone sent by the Yuan Family to stand guard at the corridor, and this delighted Mu Chenyan. The VIP wards were all single rooms and had 360 degrees of no dead angle closed-circuit monitoring. Mu Chenyan had decided that if Yuan Xuan asked her why did shee to see Zhao Yanni, she would be truthful ande clean. From Mu Chenyans point of view, Yuan Xuans attitude was somewhat odd. He seemed to have chosen to overlook her action of going to City C secretly. Since the days of their return, he had not questioned her at all. Mu Chenyan pushed open the utched door and saw that poor woman on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze. She looked vastly different from how she was during the Spring Festival a few months back as she seemed to have aged by a decade. Hearing the sound of the door opening, a trace of vitality shed through the womans dim and lifeless eyes. Seeing it was Mu Chenyan, Zhao Yanni was rather taken aback. Her pale lips quivered, and that phrase Miss Mu was stuck in her throat... Mu Chenyan sensed that the current Zhao Yanni was not the same person who had feigned madness during the Spring Festival, but because of the poisoning, her reaction was now indeed slower than ordinary people. Aunty Zhao! Mu Chenyan called out in a crisp voice and ced the fruits she had brought on the bedside cab. She moved a chair and sat close to the bed. I came to visit my mother, so I dropped by to see you. Are you feeling any better? Mu Chenyan was sweet-looking, to begin with. Because of the beautys approachability, coupled with the fact that she truly sympathized with Zhao Yanni, the emotions expressed in her eyes were a genuine heartfelt concern. Zhao Yanni had mixed feelings. It had been long since someonest came to visit her. Every time Zhao Ruoxin came, she would only stand afar. When had she ever speak to her such gently and kindly? Miss Mu, Im very happy that you came to see me... After thinking for a long moment, only then did Zhao Yanni utter a sentence that reflected her feelings at this moment. Mu Chenyan smiled and took out an apple from the fruits bag. The crispy and sweet red apple rotated in Mu Chenyans hand. After peeling the skin, she gave it to Zhao Yanni and smilingly said, Aunty, my mother has been in aa for many years. Every time Ie to the hospital, Ill be thinking of that day when she could eat the apple Ive pared. Id be thrilled to death then! Zhao Yanni trembled as she took the apple. The woman, who had not been treated kindly for years, was now revealing an exciting look. Her former husband had left her, her second had abused her, while her daughter had used her... It seemed that from the age of 30, the pleasure she had gotten behind Shu Hengs back was the beginning of the suffering of her life! Thinking back to the sharp reversal of her life and the fall from a great height, the woman who had suffered half her lifetime now received love and care from someone at this time, all her psychological defenses copsedpletely, and she burst into tears... Mu Chenyan did not console her but handed her tissues. The woman took one tissue after another as her tears flowed wantonly. After a long time, only then did Zhao Yanni calmed down, her eyes were swollen from the crying. Mu Chenyan said softly, Aunty Zhao, when were feeling unhappy, we feel better after weve let it out, right? Zhao Yanni nodded, and she replied with a hoarse voice, Thank you, Miss Mu. Indeed, she had not felt this relieved for a long time. If it was not for Mu Chenyans visitation, perhaps she would still be keeping all these pent-up grudges in her heart till death. Miss Mu, did youe to see me because of some matters? Although Zhao Yanni was sluggish, after such a long time of thinking, she had guessed that Mu Chenyans appearance was not a coincidence. The corner of Mu Chenyans lips twitched as she smiled. She sat down and did not beat around the bush but went straight to the point. Aunty Zhao, Shu Qingers still alive, am I right? Zhao Yanni trembled, and she looked at Mu Chenyan with an unconceivable gaze. The corner of her lips quivered lightly as she was at a loss for words. After a while, her gaze drifted about as she mumbled, I dont know what are you talking about... Mu Chenyan could see that Zhao Yanni was having an intense inner struggle in her mind. She was not anxious, and she smilingly said. Although Qinger and Xiner are twins and their features are extremely simr, as their biological mother, you can clearly tell them apart, cant you? As Mu Chenyan spoke, she was observing Zhao Yannis reaction. This woman dared not even look at Mu Chenyan. Under Mu Chenyans scrutinization, she became increasingly flustered. Her hands clenched the corner of the nket tightly, and she was engaged in an even more intense struggle within. Qinger did not grow up by your side. The sentiments you have for her must not be as strong as what you feel for Xiner. Xiner was brought up by you, and Im sure that you dont wish for her to die tragically, right? Mu Chenyan took out her trump card by ying the family card. Chapter 250 - Qinger Came to City C Suddenly

Chapter 250: Qinger Came to City C Suddenly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ill help you seek the truth and avenge Xiners death! Mu Chenyan said firmly. When Zhao Yanni heard Mu Chenyans words, the hesitation in her eyes deepened. Miss Mu, is what you say for real? Mu Chenyan nodded. Zhao Yannis lips quivered, her eyes were humble and persistent as if she had seen a little hope. Why would you want to do that? When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Yannis question, she chuckled bitterly, Aunty Zhao, youve got a poor memory. Have you forgotten? I was also once a murder suspect. Zhao Yanni was stunned as if she had just recalled such an event. She mumbled softly, Ive never suspected you. Hearing that, Mu Chenyan felt rather surprised. As the mother of the victim, Zhao Yanni had actually said that she had never suspected her. Whys that? Mu Chenyan asked. Zhao Yanni answered, Ive felt that there was something fishy about Xiners death. Moreover, Ive known about your mother, Yan Mei. Shes a famous socialite in Jiang Cheng. Although Ive never had any contact with her, Im aware that shes a very nice person. Shes very kind and has done many charitable deeds. How could the daughter she brought up be that cruel... My Xiner... Shes that... that weak... How could one have done that... Perhaps because Zhao Yanni recalled Zhao Ruoxins tragic death, hence she was weeping sadly again. Mu Chenyan heard that Zhao Yanni had personally confessed a truth the woman who had died was indeed Zhao Ruoxin! Aunty, what you said is right. My mother had taught me since young to be kind to others. Id nevermit such a brutal act... When Mu Chenyan spoke up to this point, she began to choke up. However, youre well aware that back then when I was arrested as a suspect, one of the reason was that someone had deliberately framed me... Ive waited painfully for two years in prison. Now, besides you, Im the one who desires the most to find the killer! This made Zhao Yanni saw Mu Chenyans sincerity. Consider it avenging Ruoxins death. Shouldnt you tell me what really happened? How did Qinger and Ruoxin swap identities? As Mu Chenyan spoke, she moved in a step closer, and her pressuring gaze caused Zhao Yanni to have nowhere to hide. Zhao Yanni lowered her head and was somewhat flustered. She whispered, If I tell you the truth, you wouldnt hurt Qinger, would you? Mu Chenyan was taken aback for a moment. After giving it some thoughts, she understood this womans meaning. Even though Qinger had not treated her kindly, she was, after all, her daughter, hence she was worried about Qingers safety. Dont worry, I wont harm Qinger. Moreover, if the Yuan Family knows that Qingers not dead, theyd treat her even better. Howd they harm her? What Mu Chenyan had said was the truth. Just that Old Mistress Yuan alone, she probably was more delighted to see Qinger than to see her. Zhao Yanni sighed gently. She had indeed seen the Yuan Familys kind treatment toward Qinger. Maybe even if Qinger had crossed a line, they would also pardon her. Hence, after considering her words, Zhao Yanni opened her mouth to speak. Three years ago, Ruoxin had an opportunity to have a heart transnt. There was a faint light in Mu Chenyans eyes. She did not interject as she already knew that that heart was acquired through Xia Taos abuse of power by harming a teenager. However, the reason Mu Chenyan did not mention that she had been to City C was so that Zhao Yanni would not feel pressured. After all, Ruoxin was under the provision of Xia Tao at that time, and it was an undignified matter. However, this mother had silently agreed and connived it! Zhao Yanni continued saying, Ruoxins surgery was a sess, and her recovery went well. It was just after Ruoxin had recovered and discharged from the hospital that Qinger came to City C suddenly. Qinger went to City C after returning to the country three years ago? Mu Chenyan was surprised at this oue. This meant that the time when Qinger returned from Italy basically coincided with her time of returning from the UK. However, although Qinger came back to the country, she did return to the Yuan Family! At that time, Mu Chenyan waspletely immersed in the excitement of marrying Yuan Xuan. She had also asked Yuan Xuan about Qingers situation, but Yuan Xuan kept avoiding the topic. Because of Yuan Xuans attitude, hence when it waster rumored in the outside world that Yuan Xuans beloved was his old childhood sweetheart, Shu Qinger, Mu Chenyan nearly believed it. After that, the preparation for the marriage took a year. During this period, Mu Chenyan was so preupied that she had forgotten about Qingers matter. Moreover, the Mu Chenyan at that time was innocent and simple-minded. Sheughed at herself. Qinger hade to City C three years ago. However, when she was here, she was in a terrible mood. She was out of spirits and seemed depressed. As Zhao Yanni recalled the past, she let out a sigh. I thought to myself, at that time, she must have suffered some grievances on the outside. Its just that at that time... I didnt even... notice it... Zhao Yanni med herself and sobbed as she said. When Qinger saw that Ruoxins surgery was a sess, she was also happy. Every day, shed bring her younger sister along as she carried the easel and went painting. Those days were truly the happiest times the three of us had together! If only... If only... it wasnt for that incidentter on... That incidentter on? Mu Chenyan felt that that so-called incident must have been something terrible. Watching Zhao Yanni teared up again, Mu Chenyan felt that she was rather cruel. Everyone would have a past that was hard to recall; the kind of past that would wrench ones heart once it was looked back on. What she was exposing might just be the scar in Zhao Yannis heart! Qinger had grown up in the Yuan Family since young, so her inherent aura was different. Coupled with the fact that she was pretty, that damned bastard husband of mine had long had some ideas on Ruoxin. It was just that Ruoxins physical condition did not allow it, so he dared not touch Ruoxin, but then Qinger appeared... Mu Chenyan did not pressure Zhao Yanni, and she began to spill it all out. Reaching this point, Zhao Yanni was slightly hesitant, and there was much uneasiness in her eyes. She lowered her head and dared not look at Mu Chenyans expression. You mean, he... he touched Qinger? Mu Chenyans heart skipped a beat. She and Qinger, though they did not have a close rtionship, yet hearing that she had been bullied and that her mother might just have been an aplice, a feeling of repulsion arose in Mu Chenyans heart. She gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Yannis pitiful look. All her sympathy suddenly turned into a kind of abhorrence! Those who were pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to their lows! Did he force Qinger? No. He was a doctor, so he had lots of anesthetics... He drugged Qinger... As Qingers mother, how could you have allowed such a thing to happen? Mu Chenyan stood up and finally could not help but used Zhao Yanni. Having previously seen how Shu Qinger had treated Zhao Yanni, if the bystanders were to say it was uneptable, Mu Chenyan was able toprehend the reason behind it now. Although Shu Qinger had brought Zhao Yanni back to Luo Hai, there must have been hatred in her heart! Zhao Yanni sniveled and appeared remorseful. I had no choice. That man was savage. If we were to resist, he wouldve beaten Ruoxin and me to death! After my divorce with Shu Heng, my parental home felt that I was a disgrace and refused to have anything to do with me. I had no one to go to, and I was helpless... After that man got what he wanted, he even said that Qinger was not a virgin and that he had suffered a loss... When Mu Chenyan heard that, she suddenly felt like going ballistic! Luckily, that man was already dead. Otherwise, how could he be allowed to live in the world peacefully? He himself hadmitted such a shameless act, yet he dared to say such things! What happened after that? Mu Chenyan asked coldly. Zhao Yanni shrunk her body. Recalling that scene seemed to terrify her. When Qinger woke up and knew that she had been vited, she kicked up a tremendous fuss, and as she suffered a breakdown, her strength was astoundingly strong. The few of us could not hold her down, so running out of options, the damned bastard gave her a shot of tranquilizer... Mu Chenyan was speechless. Chapter 251 - Can’t Allow Qinger to Return to Luo Hai

Chapter 251: Cant Allow Qinger to Return to Luo Hai

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zhao Yanni realized how despicable her actions were. She lowered her head and dared not meet Mu Chenyans gaze. Miss Mu, you must be looking down on me, arent you? Although due to the medication, Zhao Yanni was sluggish and her eyes were not that animated like ordinary people, she could still read ones facial expression. Mu Chenyan was eyeing her with anger. She had really failed as a mother! Treating Qinger this way, arent you afraid that she would tell the Yuan Family after she returns to Luo Hai? Mu Chenyan suppressed the rage within and asked in a low voice. We were afraid! It was because of that we cant allow Qinger to return to Luo Hai... Zhao Yannis voice trembled as she continued saying, That damned bastard said that if Qinger heads back to Luo Hai, things would be brought to light. Hes the mastermind, while Ruoxin and I were his aplices. None of us can escape! Was that why you all thought of letting Zhao Ruoxin take Qingers ce toe back to Luo Hai? Mu Chenyan could guess the oue of this whole thing. Ruoxin had spent some time with Qinger, so she was rather familiar with her tracks in Luo Hai. Because Qinger was mentally unwell, she had been staying at Zong He for the first few months after she was back in the country, but after that, she had actually sneaked out! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan was taken aback. No wonder Yuan Xuan was reluctant to reveal Qingers whereabouts. When Ruoxin went back to Luo Hai and had stayed at Zong He for some time, she had given me a call saying that she had fallen in love with a man. Very soon, she told me that she was pregnant with that mans child. As Zhao Yanni recounted, remorse was seen on her face. If I had known that the ending would be as such, I would never have let Ruoxine to Luo Hai no matter what... A man? Did Ruoxin ever tell you anything about that man while she was still alive? About that man, probably even Yuan Xuan did not know who he was. Otherwise, after so many years, with the Yuan Familys capability, it was impossible to have not captured the murderer. This man should be a good starting point! At that time, Qinger was confined by us. Not long after Ruoxin had arrived at Luo Hai, she then began to secretly send me money. She told me that that man was very powerful, and that very soon after she had given birth to the child, she would bring Qinger and me to Luo Hai so that they wont have to tolerate that evil bastard stepfather anymore. While speaking, Zhao Yanni smiled bitterly. Not long after that... Ruoxin... was met with that tragedy... What unfolded next, Mu Chenyan already knew all about it. For more than 700 days and nights, the questions Mu Chenyan had pondered on were mostly answered now. Yuan Xuan had once made it clear to her that the child was not his. The man Ruoxin was having a rtionship with must have given Zhao Ruoxin a promise, which was why she was that confident. It was just that too many tides were turned after that, and the fate of many was changed. One particr example was Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan stood up and looked out of the window. It was a sunny April. The wind was gentle, and flowers blossomed by the bridge. It should have been a warm season, yet she felt the chill of winter! After that, how did Qingere back to Luo Hai? About this matter, Mu Chenyan did not believe in the pretext Shu Qinger had told when she first arrived at the Yuan Family. Perhaps, Qinger had also used Xia Tao? After all, she had remained in City C, and since Xia Tao was once Zhao Ruoxins sugar daddy, with Ruoxin leaving, Qinger would have certainly been her substitute. The money Ruoxin sent back was discovered by that gambler bastard. With the money, he indulged in gambling even more, and he finally gambled his life away. Qinger and I were free atst! Just some time ago, a mysterious man contacted Qinger and said that he can help Qinger to return to the Yuan Family in Luo Hai. A mysterious man? Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that there was something fishy about this matter. She then asked, Could he be rted to that man Ruoxin was previously acquainted with in Luo Hai? Zhao Yanni was clearly unsure, and she shook her head in a perplexing way. Ruoxin did not tell me who that man in Luo Hai was. Mu Chenyan was in great confusion. Although she had some clues, yet if she could not find the father of the child in Zhao Ruoxins belly, this whole matter would not take shape. She was not the police. All these years, the Luo Hai police were also investigating this case. Apart from her discovering that there was an issue with the identity of the deceased, could the Luo Hai police have note across any useful information? Mu Chenyan sighed and felt that she was like a private detective... Zhao Yanni looked at Mu Chenyan timidly and quietly asked, Miss Mu, theres something that Id like to ask you for your favor. Mu Chenyan replied gently, Tell me, and Ill do my best to help you. No matter what, you have to find a way to help Qinger. Shes a child with a bitter fate, and it is I who have wronged her. If anything happens to her in the near future, you have to help her... While speaking, Zhao Yanni covered her mouth and began to weep again. Aunty Zhao, about the favor youre asking for, is it because you know that the poisoning case in Zong He wasmitted by Qinger? Mu Chenyans gaze had never once left Zhao Yanni, and her tone was extremely firm. Zhao Yanni shuddered and shook her head. No. It wasnt Qinger. It wasnt her... Zhao Yanni became rather emotional. Her face flushed red as she seemed to be engaged in intense inner conflict. She dodged Mu Chenyans stare, and her body turned sideways like she was trying her best to get away from Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan looked at the closed-circuit monitoring and rxed her tone, asking persistently, Aunty, whether it was done by Qinger, you know it well in your heart. If you dont tell me anything now, I dont know how to help you. You have a way! You can plead with Third Young Master, and hell listen to you, right? It turned out that Zhao Yanni was thinking of seeking Yuan Xuans help. How do you know that Yuan Xuan would listen to me for sure? Mu Chenyan chuckled bitterly. Even she herself did not even know that between Yuan Xuan and her, who was circling around who? Third Young Master Yuan only has you in his heart. Hell definitely listen to your words! Qinger had told meter on that it was because Yuan Xuan wanted to marry you that she was mentally deranged and was admitted into Zong He... Mu Chenyan was dumbstruck. She fell back a few steps and bumped into the chair, which fell over to the ground and knocked into the corner of the table. The fruits she brought scattered all over, ttering on the ground. Zhao Yanni looked at the flustered Mu Chenyan and continued saying, Ive known since the beginning that the rtionship between a man and woman could not be forced upon. Qinger and Yuan Xuan had grown up together since young, hence all she thought about in her heart was him. However, Qinger didnt have a good fate. After such an incident, how can I still ask the Yuan Family to have her as their daughter-inw... However, Qinger wasnt willing to give in. Ill tell you the truth, the reason shes back at the Yuan Family now is to snatch back Yuan Xuan. I think Miss Mu wouldve noticed that. Im afraid that shell do some terrible things to you in the near future. I beg you to look at the misery of our mother and daughter and pardon her. When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Yannis words, she lightly let out a sigh. Previously, she had not understood where did Zhao Ruoxin obtain the confidence and courage from for her to openly disy her affection toward Yuan Xuan. At that time, she was only utilizing her sisters identity to enter into the Yuan Family. Now that Mu Chenyan knew that she was the real Shu Qinger, she could understand her dedication to Yuan Xuan. The Zong He case really has nothing to with Qinger! I beg you, Miss Mu, please, no matter what, you must help me to take care of Qinger! Although this request might seem to go overboard since theres no rtion between you and I, youing here today to see me has made me happy, and I could only ask for a favor. Without being sure whether it was because Zhao Yannis expression was overly forlorn,passion bloomed in Mu Chenyans heart, and she nodded lightly, I promise you. Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Mistress Seemed to Be Thanking the Wrong Person (The Leading Male has Finally Appeared)

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The noises from the ward attracted the attention of the nurses station. As this was a VIP ward, there would always be someone watching the room. Moreover, this was a sick woman left by the Yuan family, an around the clock treatment was definite! Although Mu Chenyan had greeted the nurses before entering, she had been in the room for a long time. Besides, there was that loud sound that came from the room which was clearly captured by the CCTV. A nurse knocked on the door and politely asked, Miss, do you have anything else to say to the patient? Mu Chenyan looked at Zhao Yanni and replied in a low voice, No, nothing else. Well, its time for the patient to rest then. Please leave as soon as possible. Leave the clean up to me. Mu Chenyan looked at the mess on the floor and said embarrassingly, Im really sorry to have to trouble you. As she finished speaking, she turned around and said to Zhao Yanni, Aunty, the next time Ie to visit my mother, Ill drop by again. Zhao Yanni gave her a dreary smile. Mmm, alright. Mu Chenyan turned around and was about to leave when Zhao Yanni suddenly remarked, If only Qinger came to visit me often, how good would that be... Mu Chenyan felt a suffocating feeling in her chest, and she left the ward with an inexpressible emotion. ... From the corner of the hospital hall, Yan Jun watched Mu Chenyan exit the lift and drive away in her little white car. He took out his phone and dialed Yuan Xuans number. Third Young Master, Mistress has left the hospital. On the other end of the line, Yuan Xuan was having a drink with Shao Yibai. Hearing that Mu Chenyan had left, he knew that she must have been returning to the Hibiscus Garden. Yuan Xuan tugged on his cor, put down his winess, and replied in a deep voice, Alright. Regarding the stuff Ive asked you to buy, deliver them to the Hibiscus Gardenter. Yan Jun gave Yuan Xuan his word andmented with a tinge of emotion in his heart that the Young Master had really changed a lot, even asking him to buy such a ything for the Mistress! He lowered his head and looked at his feet. In a delicate basket were two Ragdoll cats that were miaowing non-stop. Upon receiving the order, Yan Jun had gone to the pet shop and bought these two little kittens earlier. He had not yet made it back when Third Young Master Yuan asked him to go to the hospital to watch over Little Mistress. Yan Jun then rushed over to the hospital with the basket in hand and sat in the monitoring room, only to see the Mistress chatting with Zhao Yanni. Yan Jun did not know what he was there to look out for. Nheless, since it was a direct order from his master, Yan Jun dared not defy it. At this time, the two little kittens in the basket must have been hungry as they were purring loudly, causing the everyone around Yan Jun to stare at him indiscreetly. Others came to the hospital with either a basket of fruits or a basket of flowers, while he, a first-ss assistant and a nine-foot-tall man, carried a basket of kittens... Yan Jun felt extremely regretful at this moment that he did not possess any special skills! If only he had studied properly back during his childhood and gone overseas even if it were just for a show, at least he could have been be a clerical assistant like Kang Yu, wearing gold-rimmed sses, looking awesome, and being called Assistant Kang by people. Perhaps, he could have even learned martial arts and be like Tian Qi, a grim-faced bodyguard. However, Yan Jun had be an assistant, forced to carry out the most mundane of chores. Today he had to buy kittens, and he could not help wonder if tomorrow he would need to go get a puppy. Woof, woof, woof... Woah! That was unthinkable! ... Yuan Xuan hung up the call and got ready to leave. Shao Yibai coldly snorted. Upon returning from City C, the man who had lost face had was feeling extremely upset, which was why he came looking for Yuan Xuan to drink his frustration away. However, little had he expected the fellow to be preupied with his Little Mistress the entire time. Upon hearing that his Mistress was heading home, he actually wants to leave?! I dont understand. Regarding the matters of Mu Chenyan investigating Zhao Ruoxin, why are you indulging her? Shao Yibai felt that Yuan Xuans thoughts were like a deep ocean. There are times where he really could not decipher the thoughts of this trust fund baby. A trace of glee shed past Yuan Xuans cold eyes. That woman isnt always a good for nothing. Since she wants to trouble herself, Ill just let her y around. Maybe she can even be of help to me. Shao Yibai could not understand it. The man before him was exceptionally handsome. In terms of features, talent, and capability, he was above average in every area, yet his heart was like a needle hidden in silk floss, an iron hand in a velvet glove. What do you mean? Your Little Chenyan really doesnt just stir up any ordinary trouble. This time at City C, she nearly cost me my woman! hearing the word trouble, Shao Yibai thought of only one thing. Then were even now. Previously, your woman had led her to catch perverts. Didnt I tolerate it as well? Yuan Xuan smiled inly and retaliated. Shao Yibai was speechless. The two men suddenly felt that they were behaving extremely childishly. When it came to women, the two buddies could never stop bickering. Then hurry up and tell me. What ns do you have in mind? Shao Yibai asked and handed a box of cigarettes to Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Xuan waved it away. Ive not been smoking cigarettes that have such a strong smell recently. Mistress doesnt like the scent of them, Yuan Xuan said with a straight face. The already handsome face now had an even greater air of a gentlemans elegance. When talking about his Mistress, there would be a faint smile on his face. This fellow... When had he be such a suave gentleman who was as graceful as the luster of a jade? F*ck! You talk as if other people dont have a mistress! Upon noticing Yuan Xuans sinister smile, Shao Yibai almost flew into a rage. Mmm. Someone really doesnt seem to have a mistress. Yuan Xuan seemed to want to continue with this topic until the end! Shao Yibai madly took out a cigarette, lit it up, and fiercely smoked it. He ended up choking and coughing non-stop. With teary eyes, he pointed at Yuan Xuans smug face. This is the end of our friendship! Yuan Xuan lifted his winess, his enchanting face had an alluring smile. I dont think thats a very wise thing to do. After all, those without a mistress will need their friendsfort from time to time. Hearing that, Shao Yibai wanted to ruin Yuan Xuans charmingly handsome face. I wont argue with you! Anyway, the incident in City C this time was really a scare. If I didnt tail them, who knows what would have happened to those two women? You owe me one. Yuan Xuan nodded and answered, I truly owe you one. With your conniving Little Chenyan as such, arent you even a little concerned that she will continue to wreak havoc? Thinking of the incident in City C, Shao Yibai felt that things were not as simple as it seemed. That Bureau Chief Liu was intentionally protecting the criminal. Ive been digging into Zhao Ruoxin previously, and there wasnt much progress with City C. Ive thought of using Zhao Yanni as the starting point, but Zhao Yanni is extremely wary of me. This time, with Little Chenyan in action, maybe therell be a breakthrough. Yuan Xuans tone was in, and there was a cold radiance swirling in his eyes. He seemed to have a well-thought-out strategy in regards to the future. Shao Yibaiughed. Do you n to let your wife participate in your operation of hauling in the? Yuan Xuans slender fingers tapped the edge of the ss as he replied inly, Why not? The old case from two years back has been a thorn in her heart. If she doesnt settle it herself, perhaps she will always feel unreconciled. ... The Hibiscus Garden The two Ragdoll cats had been delivered. Besides Mu Chenyan, even Ah Fu felt excited as well. She was a child after all. In the Hibiscus Garden, besides Master, there were not any other living beings. The two kittens were ck and yellow respectively. The ck one had a clear and gentle sheen, and its gentle fur was like an ink-ck satin, while the yellow one was like a golden ball, rolling about in excitement. Their tiny bodies very soon found the edge of the basket, and they began to miaow continuously. Mu Chenyan stroke the heads of the two kittens and was clearly extremely delighted. Yan Jun, thank you so much. How did you know I like cats? Mu Chenyan studied Yan Jun as she spoke. The face of the top-rated assistant reddened, and the slight grievance he experienced in the afternoon suddenly turned into nothing. Mistress seems to be thanking the wrong person? Yuan Xuan had yet to physically arrive but the sound of his voice had already drifted into Mu Chenyans ears... Chapter 253 - Go Upstairs If You Want to Hear the Cats Meowing.

Chapter 253: Go Upstairs If You Want to Hear the Cats Meowing.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan studied Yan Jun as she spoke. The face of the top-rated assistant reddened, and the slight grievance he experienced in the afternoon suddenly turned into nothing. Mistress seems to be thanking the wrong person? Yuan Xuan had yet to physically arrive but the sound of his voice had already drifted into Mu Chenyans ears... Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan had already stepped one foot into the hall when she raised her head. His silver-gray windbreaker made him look even more elegant and handsome. Ah Fu jogged over and took the jacket that Yuan Xuan had removed before hanging it on the clothes stand. She smiled. Mistress likes those two kittens. She really likes them... Mu Chenyan carried the little yellow kitten in her arms. She was nning on feeding it milk. However, that thought immediately dissipated when she saw that Yuan Xuan had returned. Yuan Xuan had previously hated furry things the most. Although these two Ragdoll cats were very small and awfully adorable, they were still extremely hairy creatures that pooped and peed at the end of the day. Yuan Xuan could not help but avoid these things in the past. Now that the two of them had arrived at the Hibiscus Garden at once, Mu Chenyan did not know whether Yuan Xuan wouldin or not. Mu Chenyan was so frantic that she did not know what to do in the moment. When Yan Jun saw that Mu Chenyan was hesitating, he chuckled. Mistress has certainly thanked the wrong person. Young Master was the one who asked me to buy these kittens for Mistress to y with all along. Yuan Xuan had already approached Mu Chenyans side. Hebed through the strands of her hair with his fingers. His fingertips were slightly warm to the touch and his deep syrupy voice echoed, Does Mistress like them? Yuan Xuans voice was casual and unhurried. It was eerily simr to his gentle and affectionate manner. However, this was not a private space that only included both of them because Yan Jun and Ah Fu were present as well. These were intimate actions that were only meant for the times when both of them were together. How could he say those things in the presence of outsiders? The tips of Mu Chenyans ears quickly turned red while she lowered her head. Her little hands faintly trembled as she used the pads of her fingers to rub the kittens ears. Theyre cute. Why did you buy me these kittens? Dont you hate furry things the most? Its fine as long as Mistress likes them! Yuan Xuan smiled as he pulled Mu Chenyan into his arms. His deep voice was slightly hoarse as he said, These two kittens are nothing. I wouldnt stop you even if you wanted to build a whole zoo! When the faint scent of Mu Chenyans body invaded his nostrils and sensory organs, Yuan Xuan took a deep breath but could barely restrain himself from swallowing his saliva! It seemed as though he waspletely unable to resist her scent. Whenever Yuan Xuan was tempted by that scent every time he approached Mu Chenyan, he would think of taking the next step to ravage her... No matter how many times he desired her, this woman always possessed a coy sort of inexperience. Moreover, Mu Chenyan would be recklessly mad every time she became aroused while she was underneath him. It was certainly a fatal form of attraction! Yan Jun was rendered helpless as he saw their intimate interactions. He angrily recoiled his head. Young Master, I... Ill be leaving first? Yes, I wasnt nning on asking you to stay for dinner! Was he still hoping that Third Young Master would invite him for dinner when he was such an obvious third wheel? Hmph! Yuan Xuan turned his head to look at the kittens before asking, Have you given them names, Little Chenyan? Not yet because I was thinking of keeping one and giving the other to Big Tian. Mu Chenyan held the little yellow kitten in her palms and struggled in Yuan Xuans embrace before shemented, Its not surprising that certain women keep cats or dogs and treat them like children! Little guys like this are certainly unbearably cute... Yuan Xuans expression darkened. He was clearly jealous as he saw his wife look at the kitten with a terribly gentle gaze. He had bought the cat and brought it home to make her happy but she would not even look him in the eye because of this animal now. Moreover, how could a cat possibly bepared to ones own child? You still need to bear a child! Youll definitely like the child and when that timees, you can let him y with this kitty. When she heard Yuan Xuans words, Mu Chenyan inwardly found it ridiculous. This man was really immature. He was stillpeting with a cat and feeling jealous despite being so old! Youre always talking about children. Why are you making it seem as though Ive already promised you one? Mu Chenyan felt as though Yuan Xuan was saying increasingly excessive things. When he unabashedly disyed his affections for her in front of his assistant, she simply pretended not to hear him and ran upstairs while carrying the two little kittens instead. Every time Yuan Xuan mentioned children, Mu Chenyan would behave in this manner by remaining indifferent and refusing to answer. Yuan Xuans heart had be more stifled and anxious as his requests were continuedly mildly rejected by her. When he turned around, Yuan Xuan saw that Yan Jun was still standing in the hall. His expression became stern before he asked, Werent you leaving? Why are you still timidly standing there like a blockhead? Are you really nning to try Ah Fus cooking? Yan Juns face hardened while his heart fumed with rage. His boss was really someone who became unreasonable in the presence of the opposite sex because he was only concerned about his wife now. He would not even allow his loyal assistant to stay for dinner. On the contrary, he merely wanted to shove public disys of affection across the room and down his throat... Mu Chenyan went upstairs to help the two little kittens properly settle down. She fed them some milk and kibbles for young cats. The two little kittens caused a ruckus as they tossed and turned everywhere inside their basket once they were full. Mu Chenyan thought that since the third floor was spacious and Yuan Xuan rarely went up there, she would simply allow both of them to y outside the basket. The little kittens became naughtier when they scattered about and yed. They could not steadily stand up but it did not affect them as they excitedly explored their surroundings. Mu Chenyans mood drastically improved as she watched over them. The gloomy feeling that had arrived after she heard the news in the hospital today waspletely swept away. Mu Chenyan went to shower after she had eaten her dinner. Zhao Yannis words repeatedly echoed in her mind as Mu Chenyany on the bed after blow-drying her hair. She waspletely unaware of Yuan Xuans dark silhouette that had quietly approached her... Yuan Xuan pushed Mu Chenyan underneath his body before he moved his warm lips next to her ears and whispered, My kitten, hasnt it been a long time since you meowed in my arms? Yuan Xuans body temperature was scorchingly hot as he was aroused. They fitted together perfectly when he hugged her from behind. Mu Chenyans ears became itchy from being tickled. She knew that when Yuan Xuan bought her those two kittens he certainly wouldter expect her to repay him with benefitster. Go upstairs if you want to hear the cats meowing. Those are the actual kittens! Mu Chenyan panted while she avoided Yuan Xuans breath that escaped from his lips but her body responded honestly as if it were telling its master that she was aroused! Yuan Xuansrge hands became mischievous when he saw that Mu Chenyan did not mean what she said. He slowly probed her body from top to bottom while repeatedly massaging and kneading it. Despite her soft protests, he always used just the right amount of force. I love it when you cry out for me! As he spoke, Yuan Xuan gently nibbled on Mu Chenyans shoulder and caused her entire body to tremble before she quietly moaned... Yuan Xuan gingerly kissed her delicate shoulders while he removed her clothes with hisrge hands. The words carelessly tumbled out of his mouth as he sighed. Who invented womens sleepwear? These clothes are terriblyplicated! Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. When she recalled how Yuan Xuan had forced her to wear basically bare erotic lingerie every night while they were at the Liu Li Vi, Mu Chenyans face temporarily turned pink. Yuan Xuan turned her body over so that their eyes met. He lowered his head and gently pecked her starting from her forehead. He did not miss a single spot. Mu Chenyans vision became blurry while her entire body burned up as he teased her. Her arms were suddenly wrapped around his shoulders. Intense heat waves surged through the inside of her body. Mu Chenyans ears were filled with shameless nder that Yuan Xuan had never actually said while her legs had unconsciously coiled themselves around his waist. Are you ready, vixen? Mu Chenyan gently nodded after Yuan Xuan forced out an answer from her. Youll really be the death of me! Chapter 254 - I Was Worried About Leaving Mistress Unsatisfied.

Chapter 254: I Was Worried About Leaving Mistress Unsatisfied.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Halfway through the deed, Mu Chenyans voice sounded hoarse as she said, Im thirsty... Her coy murmurs were tinged with a perfectly sluggish tone. Yuan Xuans sweat droplets glistened as they trickled onto her forehead. Yuan Xuan stopped when he heard Mu Chenyan quietly mumble but he was reluctant to leave. Yuan Xuan was suddenly struck by an idea. He lifted up Mu Chenyans light body and exited the bedroom. Where... Where are you going? Mu Chenyan looked around while feeling rather embarrassed. Her little hands grabbed Yuan Xuans shoulders as she continuously shivered. In her mind, the bedroom was the only ce where they could do such things. Aside from that, everywhere else was inconceivable. Im taking you to get some water! Yuan Xuan quietly murmured. His voice was unusually hoarse while the mes that were gushing out of his gaze rapidly burned! As he spoke, Yuan Xuan propped Mu Chenyan up against a wall in the corridor before he engaged her in another round of attacks... From the second floor to the hall on the first floor, Yuan Xuan would take a few steps before pausing and continuing on with another round... The two of them werepletely inseparable as they headed down the stairs... Once they were downstairs, Yuan Xuan ced his exhausted wife on the sofa while he went to get her a ss of water. Mu Chenyan faintly blushed due to the fact that there was not a single thread of cloth on her entire body. She graciously took the water that Yuan Xuan passed to her and drank it in a more hurried manner than usual. Why are you rushing? Yuan Xuans smile harbored ill intentions. Mu Chenyan grew timider when she heard the implications behind his words. Her voice was not as hoarse as before once she had finished drinking the water. Mu Chenyan was faced with Yuan Xuans exquisite eyes when she lifted her head. The two adults were like Adam and Eve in their own paradise. When Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuans gaze had shifted towards her supple body, she bashfully covered herself up with her hands. Youre not allowed to look at me like that! Oh? Is Mistress saying that I cant look but I can only do this instead? Mu Chenyan cried out in shock as his lips ambushed her once again. Their inseparable bodies started to intertwine again long before she could protest... Yuan Xuan had initiated an unorthodox route. They moved from the sofa to the dining table, andter to the deck chair on the veranda before finally ending up on the kitchen counter. There was no ce that he did not try. Yuan Xuan, I... Ive never starved you... right? Mu Chenyan who had been tormented to the point of exhaustion was finally unable to hold back her protests. Since her legs were too numb to support herself, Yuan Xuan was free to pin her down. Yes, Mistress has never starved me. However, I am worried about leaving Mistress unsatisfied instead! Yuan Xuan ravaged her whilst shamelessly boasting. ... Mu Chenyan had started to question her life as she found herself in the bathroom on the opposite side of the mirror where she saw Yuan Xuan behind her thrusting back and forth. Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing? ... Late morning Mu Chenyan could barely struggle free from her dreams. All four of her limbs felt weak and her entire body had been invaded by an aching sensation. She raised her head and nced around the room before realizing that Yuan Xuan had gone somewhere much earlier. Mu Chenyan mentally cursed him. Why did she have to suffer when he was the one who did not know how to practice moderation? Since today was a weekend, she guessed that he would not be at work. Mu Chenyan grabbed a loose white pullover and a pair of denim jeans out of the closet. She was concerned about the two little kittens upstairs. Mu Chenyan took some milk out of the fridge and warmed it but she was stunned to see the scene before her when she brought it upstairs. She merely saw Yuan Xuan squatting on the ground. His torso was wrapped in a pullover that was the same style as Mu Chenyans but in a different color. He wore it with a loose pair of ck straight-leg pants. Yuan Xuan had rolled his sleeves up to his elbows while his statuesque figure that was taller than a models was positioned in a lowered stance. He held the kittens food bowl in one hand and carried some milk in the other as he carefully prepared their food. The little kittens hungrily whined and determinedly stretched their bodies while rushing towards the food in Yuan Xuans hands. They wanted to tumble out of the basket. However, this cat basket had be theirrgest obstacle because their ws were not strong enough yet. Dont worry, Daddy will let you eat once the food is properly mixed. Mommys really tired fromst night. You wouldve starved to death long ago if you were waiting for her to feed you! Yuan Xuan spoke while using his slender fingers to knead the cat food that they were about to eat before he softened it with the milk that was specially prepared for this purpose. Little Yellow whined, Meow meow, meow meow. Little ck whined, Meow meow, meow meow. Mu Chenyan was speechless. Daddy? Mommy? Mu Chenyan cleaned her eyes. Had she misheard him? He used to hate furry things the most... When Yuan Xuan realized that his wife was nkly staring nearby, the corners of his mouth stretched into a smirk. Look, your mommy is awake! Little Yellow and Little ck meowed while they ate as though they were greeting Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan blushed while she looked at those two Ragdoll cats and gently said, The yellow one is called Little Ginger Fur Ball because its the fattest while the ck one is Briquet. Ill call Yuan Tian toe over and pick one in awhile. Ill buy another two and give them to Yuan Tian. These two are perfect because ones male while the other is female. We should let them stay together aspanions because theyll be very unhappy if you raise them separately! Yuan Xuan spoke casually as though he had nned this much earlier. Mu Chenyan only knew now that Briquet was male and Little Ginger Fur Ball was female... Briquet seemed to say, Meow meow... Daddy is right! Meanwhile, Little Ginger Fur Ball seemingly said, Meow meow... I dont want to be separated from my Big Brother! Are you sure theyre siblings? Mu Chenyan was surprised. Theyre not but I know that theyre innocent ymates like us. Mu Chenyan was speechless. Yuan Xuan rose and hugged Mu Chenyan while he spoke. His embrace was unusually warm. Mu Chenyans body trembled when she remembered their intimate interactionsst night before she blushed. Little Ginger Fur Balls mother is a yellow Persian cat while Briquets mother is a Vietnamese breed. Its probably fated that these two little guys ended up here! Yuan Xuan lowered his head and nced at the two greedy little creatures before he smiled and said, They can act like siblings first when theyre younger before they be mates once theyre older. Then they can give birth to a litter of Little Briquets and Little Ginger Fur Balls... Before Mu Chenyan could reply, Yuan Xuan continued, Just like us! Mu Chenyan was speechless. ... Little Ginger Fur Ball started rubbing against Briquets body and whined like a spoiled little girl once it had finished eating. Briquet was also a young kitten but it behaved like a Big Brother. It licked Little Ginger Fur Balls head with its light pink tongue while meowing and fervently doting on it. When she looked at the two kittens, Mu Chenyan thought that Yuan Xuan was likening those two little creatures to themselves. Mu Chenyan reached out and pulled Little Ginger Fur Ball off Briquets body before she quietly rebuked it. Little Ginger Fur Ball, dont you have any morals? Hmm? Mu Chenyan was actually referring to herself! Little Ginger Fur Ball whined when it was pulled away. It kicked its little ws in the air and disyed a pitiful gaze. Then, without warning, its body charged in the direction of Briquet while baring its teeth! Briquet meowed in protest as well and it fiercely growled at Mu Chenyan... Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded before she suddenly recalled something. Did she not look like this as well when she hung around Yuan Xuan in the beginning? Ah Fu mbered up the stairs at this moment. She smiled as she asked, Mistress, should I take these two little guys downstairs to y? Ah Fu had yet to be fully matured. She would still behave like a wide-eyed child whenever she observed exciting things. Mu Chenyan nodded and allowed Ah Fu to take the cats basket downstairs. The second floor Study Room Yuan Xuan had a solemn expression on his face as he got dressed. He walked out while putting on his jacket. Mu Chenyan approached him and asked, Where are you going? As it was Saturday today, Yuan Xuan would not leave the house under normal circumstances. Both of them had already nned to go to Liu Li Vi together in the afternoon. Yuan Xuan stroked the bangs in front of Mu Chenyans forehead and faintly said, Its nothing. Im going to the hospital but you can wait for me at home. A bad feeling suddenly emerged in Mu Chenyans heart when she heard him mention the hospital. She firmly gripped Yuan Xuans sleeve while her voice quivered as she pressed him further, What happened? Yuan Xuan felt that it was probably wrong to continue hiding the truth from Mu Chenyan at this point. He lowered his voice and replied, Zhao Yannimitted suicidest night. Shes already breathed herst breath. Im going over to see but you can just wait at home for me to return. Chapter 255 - Two Thermometers

Chapter 255: Two Thermometers

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan felt that it was probably wrong to continue hiding the truth from Mu Chenyan at this point. He lowered his voice and replied, Zhao Yannimitted suicidest night. Shes already breathed herst breath. Im going over to see but you can just wait at home for me to return. Mu Chenyan felt as though a lighting bolt had struck the top of her head. She had just met that woman and spoken to her yesterday. How could she have left this earth just like that? People who have had near death experiences in the past would still find it very difficult to ept the sudden passing of someone whom they knew well. Mu Chenyan tugged on Yuan Xuans sleeve and quietly said, Yuan Xuan, let mee with you! Yuan Xuan could tell that Mu Chenyan was feeling unusually sad. Mu Chenyan kept thinking back to how Zhao Yannis final reaction was slightly abnormal when she had left the hospital yesterday. However, she had not noticed it then. If only... Alright. The light in Yuan Xuans eyes dimmed. He did not say anything to stop her but wore his jacket instead before walking out to the front. Mu Chenyans state of mind was chaotic but she hastened her steps and followed behind him. ... Hospital It was certainly a serious issue because an intensive care patient in the VIP ward had died from swallowing two thermometers in the washroom. Normally, a nurse would be present in every ward each night since this was the VIP ward. Zhao Yannis nurse was a thirty-year-old woman who waspletely terrified as a result of what had happened. She sat in the supervisory control room in a daze while the police interrogated her. The incident happened at 5 in the morning. Miss Zhao said that she wanted to get up and relieve herself. Shes usually a very light sleeper and today was no exception. Thus, she didnt go back to sleep after she had woke up at 5 oclock to relieve herself. She began to change her clothes after she came back from the washroom. I asked her why she had removed her hospital gown... She didnt answer me but went to the sink to wash up instead. Miss Zhao had even put on some light makeup. I found this strange so I got up and frantically called the doctor over! Miss Zhao stopped me and said that she had a headache and was probably having a fever as well. She asked me to get a thermometer from the nurses station. Once I brought it over to her, Miss Zhao took her body temperature on her own and suddenly said that her stomach was unwell. Then, she took the thermometer into the washroom... The womans entire body trembled as she spoke. The scene she described was truly terrifying. When the nurse saw that Miss Zhao had not left the washroom after half an hour, she became frightened and yelled for the hospitals security guards and other nurses to help her break open the lock... Zhao Yanni spat out fresh blood when she was discovered. She was also in an abnormal amount of pain. The hospital hurriedly set about emergency treatment for her before they realized that she had swallowed two whole thermometers. One could tell then how determined she was to die. The young nurse at the nurses station added, Miss Zhao asked for a thermometer once when Miss Mu left during the day. We were very busy at that time so I told her to return it after she was done. However, that thermometer... Thus, after the change of shifts, no one at the nurses station knew that Zhao Yanni had hidden a thermometer from one of the private rooms in her hands... The mercury poisoning and her abdominal puncture that was caused by the thermometers sharp ss made it impossible for even a miracle-working doctor to reverse the situation. The hospital hurriedly informed her family members after the emergency treatment failed. The Yuan Family had entrusted this woman to them. Hence, the hospital felt that they had truly wronged them. On one hand, they knew that nothing good could possiblye out of offending the Yuan Family. The hospital received millions in financial aid from the Yuan Family every year. Thus, they felt that they had greatly offended their financial backer now. On the other hand, Zhao Yanni hadmitted suicide and intentionally avoided the surveince cameras by choosing the washroom as her ce to carry out the act. Consequently, although it would be difficult, the hospital could still defend themselves by saying that it was an ident. Fortunately, Zhao Yanni had left a suicide note. Strangely enough, she did not leave it for her own daughter because the words To Mu Chenyan were written on the crumpled paper. The police had finished their interrogation of the nurses when Yuan Xuan appeared with Mu Chenyan. The police officer who had arrived on the scene first respectfully spoke to Yuan Xuan while reporting the situation. Now that she understood Zhao Yannis final preparations before shemitted suicide, Mu Chenyan recalled that before she left, Zhao Yanni had turned to her and said, It would have been really nice if Qinger frequently visited me... Zhao Ruoxins eyes were red and swollen when she returned from the morgue. They could tell that she had been crying nonstop. Zhao Ruoxin became extremely emotional when she saw that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had arrived at the hospital. Zhao Ruoxin was wearing high heels when she arrived as she had no time to consider whether they were suitable or not at that time. She was panting with rage as she quickly rushed over and screamed at Mu Chenyan, What did you say to my mother when you came here yesterday? You b*tch! Mu Chenyan took a small step back while she stared nkly at Zhao Ruoxin. The video surveince footage from the nurses station showed that Mu Chenyan had spoken to Zhao Ruoxin for more than 20 minutes the day before. During this time, Zhao Yannis emotions had drastically changed. Zhao Ruoxins heart was filled with anxiousness when she saw that video. She did not know how much Zhao Yanni had told Mu Chenyan regarding the incident that she did not want her to know about... I never said anything! Im truly sorry for your loss, Im very troubled by this incident as well. Mu Chenyan spoke sincerely. If she knew that Zhao Yanni would have had these thoughts after they met yesterday, she would have stopped her no matter what. Are you still lying, you b*tch? Why would you be so kind as toe and visit her? If you didnt say anything to her, why would my mother kill herself when she was perfectly fine before? Zhao Ruoxin lost control of her emotions as she spoke. She struck out her palm at Mu Chenyan without any concern at all as to what it might do to her image. Mu Chenyan did not dodge it as she had already seen Zhao Ruoxin taking up her stance. She merely lowered her head in anticipation of the iing blow. She was not upset. After all, this was Zhao Ruoxins mother. Thus, it was only natural for Zhao Ruoxin to hate her. However, the pain Mu Chenyan anticipated never arrived. When she raised her head, Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan was holding Zhao Ruoxins arm back. He said sternly, Ruoxin, dont get worked up. This matter has nothing to do with Chenyan! Yuan Xuansposed manner was extremely intimidating while his gaze seemed as though it could pierce through ones eyes. Although she had tried to hit Mu Chenyan in front of him, Yuan Xuan did not kick up a fuss only because she was a rtive of the victim. Brother Xuan, youre still defending her... Zhao Ruoxin started crying. My mother left her a suicide note but did no such thing for me... You foxy woman, what spell have you cast on everyone. Youve blinded every single person... Mu Chenyan only realized that Zhao Yanni had left a suicide note for her after she heard Zhao Ruoxin say this. It seemed as though Zhao Yanni really trusted her because she had apanied her during the final moments of her life. Mu Chenyans heart momentarily spasmed. Zhao Ruoxins heart was filled with anger when she saw Yuan Xuan defending Mu Chenyan. She sobbed before rushing towards Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan, youre a cursed vixen... Mu Chenyan stood rooted to the spot as though she had epted her fate. Yuan Xuan angrily gritted his teeth when he saw how resigned she looked. He pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace while blocking Zhao Ruoxin with one hand. Ruoxin, dont get so emotional. Go get the suicide note so we can see whats written on it. Zhao Ruoxins entire body briefly shivered when Yuan Xuan mentioned the suicide note. The nurse who had discovered the suicide note had kept it and was waiting to hand it over to the police because this was considered as an important piece of evidence. Thus, they did not permit Zhao Ruoxin to see it although she was the deceased womans daughter. Zhao Ruoxin seemed slightly unwilling when she heard Yuan Xuan instructing her to go and get the suicide note. Since the suicide note was addressed to Mu Chenyan, Zhao Ruoxin was worried that she could almost guess its contents. The suicide note... is with the police... Zhao Ruoxins gaze became anxious and hesitant. Yuan Xuan nced at Mu Chenyan before he put his arm around her and led her to the surveince room. This space was being used as a temporary interrogation room. The case was lessplicated because it was a confirmed suicide while the hospital had given Zhao Yanni emergency treatment at the first avable moment. Thus, even if it was to be settled in the future, criminal cases like these would likely be concluded between the two families. However, since the other party was the Yuan Family, a small form ofpensation would definitely be included. Chapter 256 - Ye Kun was probably not his real name.

Chapter 256: Ye Kun was probably not his real name.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan passed her identification card to the police officer before he passed her the suicide note in exchange. The suicide note was actually written on the back of a very long printed receipt. Zhao Yannis handwriting was clear and beautiful while the concise contents of her note read: Miss Mu, please return to the major crimes department and exin to them on my behalf that Im the sole culprit behind the poisoning case at Zong He. It has nothing to do with anyone else! I originally wanted to harm only one person. However, when I ate my medicine that day and fell ill, I apparently put the poison into the whole pot of food and caused many innocent people to be dragged into this. I deserve to die as punishment for my sins! Also, please dont forget the things that Ive entrusted to you... ... Mu Chenyans entire body was shivering as she finished reading the note. Zhao Yanni had protected her daughter with her own life... Although Zhao Yanni did not mention the person whom she wanted to harm, Mu Chenyan felt that it was already unimportant. Zhao Yanni did not bear any strong grudges towards anyone in Zong He. Hence, her actions were definitely instigated by someone else. The conclusion would already be extremely obvious even without her having tomit suicide. Who else would she be willing to defend by sacrificing her own life? Mu Chenyans heart felt stifled. She turned around and said to Yuan Xuan, Is it alright if I return to the major crimes department for awhile? At this point, the Zong He was considered to be a dud. Moreover, Zhao Yannis suicide note could also be considered as a conclusion. Mu Chenyan wanted to go and inform Wu Huai immediately. Yuan Xuan had not seen the contents of the suicide note but there was a look in his dark pupils which implied that he clearly understood it as well. Go then. Ill stay here and deal with this. As he spoke, Yuan Xuan turned around and looked at the pale-faced Zhao Ruoxin. Ruoxin, perhaps you should return to the mansion. Once the issues here are resolved, Ill take your mothers remains back for the funeral arrangements. Zhao Ruoxin was still reluctant. She red angrily at Mu Chenyan and gnashed her teeth together. Zhao Ruoxin understood quite a bit in her heart when she heard Mu Chenyan mention the major crimes department earlier. Zhao Yanni was definitely bearing the brunt of everything on her shoulders when she chose tomit suicide. It seemed like Zhao Yanni had not mentioned the thing that she feared the most. Zhao Ruoxin let out a drawn-out sigh of relief. Zhao Ruoxin had previously concealed some of her hatred towards Mu Chenyan but she had no ns of doing that now. This was particrly apparent when she saw how Yuan Xuan treated Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyans name was simply a nightmare in her mind. Mu Chenyan, you said that this incident has no connection to you but I dont believe that at all! Not only did you harm my mother but you have caused me even greater harm... Zhao Ruoxin miserably nced at Yuan Xuan as she spoke. Yuan Xuans expression darkened but his thoughts were so well-hidden that other people were unable to obtain any information from just looking at his face. Mu Chenyanughed bitterly at what Zhao Ruoxin had said. Her gaze was cold as she indifferently remarked, You should know the person who caused your mothers death better than me! Zhao Ruoxin froze. A hint of panic shed across her eyes before her heart rate that had only just calmed down now leaped up again instantly. Mu Chenyan, what do you know? Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with Zhao Ruoxin because her mother had recently died. She simply said, Zhao Yanni and I have never spoken to each other before! Zhao Ruoxin was speechless. Mu Chenyan nced at Zhao Ruoxin with a meaningful gaze before she left. ... Yuan Xuan sent Yan Jun over to handle the following matters while he drove to the military hospital headquarters instead. Yuan Tangshuo had dispatched his staff to wait for Yuan Xuan at the entrance immediately after he had received a phone call from him. Yuan Xuan had a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw Yuan Tangshuo, he tly asked, Third Uncle, how is Ye Kun? Yuan Tangshuo had never fully understood his nephew. Ye Kun was already at deaths door when he was sent here. However, Yuan Xuan never told his Third Uncle of this mans identity but had only asked him to protect his life. Aside from being poisoned, Ye Kun had also suffered a severe psychological impediment. He would only speak when Yuan Xuan visited him while other people could not even dream of prying his mouth open. Yuan Xuan woulde and visit this man with a mysterious identity every few days. Yuan Tangshuo readjusted his sses. He walked with Yuan Xuan towards the recovering ward. Hell need at least two more months to be restored to the normal physiological standard. Since hes already formed a resistance towards benzodiazepines and pyridoxine, for the time being, well discuss this again at ater point when we see his reactions after we take him off these drugs. Yuan Xuan did not understand the technical aspects but he trusted in Yuan Tangshuo fully. Third Uncle, you can just go ahead and proceed ording to your treatment n. Yuan Xuan, I suggest that he continues with his therapy once hes discharged from the hospital. Were unable to assist you in the psychological aspects but there are different specialists for each field, Yuan Tangshuo added. Yuan Xuan nodded. Im aware of this. If this poisoning case had not happened, I was initially nning to take him to Taiwan for a psychological consultation. Yuan Tangshuo became even more curious when he saw how much Yuan Xuan cared about this man. Yuan Xuan, can you tell me his real identity? I was thinking that Ye Kun probably isnt his real name, right? Yuan Tangshuo had been calm andposed all along. It was not as though he was unaware of the secret scramble for power that was going on throughout the entire Yuan Family. Rather, he preferred immersing himself in his research. Thus, he minded his own business and made sure that his son and daughter did the same because he did not want to be involved in this. Yuan Tangshuo took on the reins of supporting and sheltering his Big Brothers orphaned son. Yuan Xuan had been close to him when he was younger. However, it became harder for him to understand his nephew as he grew older. Yuan Xuan looked at his uncle with cold eyes. He spoke in a deep voice, Youre right, uncle. That isnt his real name. Father gave him this name in the past. Yuan Tangshuo was shocked. Big Brother? Very few people would voluntarily mention Yuan Tangbai in front of Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan faintly nodded. Losing his father at a young age allowed the young prodigy named Yuan Xuan to mature early on. His thoughts were so meticulous that he was considered to be nearly inhuman while his style ofpleting tasks was to always decide and act on his own. Yuan Tangshuo was not hoping that Yuan Xuan would tell him the exact details but he was shocked when he heard that there was a connection between Ye Kun and his Big Brother. Not only were there nurses in Ye Kuns intensive care ward every day but Yuan Xuan had also sent two of his most trusted aides to guard him. The Zong He incident was a lesson. Yuan Xuan was willing to pay the price for his mistakes but Ye Kun only had one life. Yuan Xuan turned to his Third Uncle and said, Ill go in by myself. Third Uncle, you can get back to work. Yuan Tangshuo nodded. This unique patient had never said a single word to anyone even when he was in pain. He could tell that he only trusted Yuan Xuan. The in-patient ward that was specially set up for this man was three times as big as a normal ward. It even had its own toilet and washroom, as well as a separate little kitchen. The nurse was busy cooking millet and pumpkin porridge for Ye Kun in the kitchen. This tall and muscr man had been unable to eat anything when he was first admitted into the hospital due to his intense spasms and because he had gotten his stomach pumped. He was 180cm tall but only weighed 60kg. Both of his eyes were also swollen. During the following month of treatment, millet porridge became the main thing that he ate. Ye Kuns eyes were closed as he sat on a chair in the corner of the balcony. Whether there were other people were present or not, he would look like this every time, as if he has entered his own world. Although the sound of pots and pans crashing together could be hearding from the kitchen where his young carer was busying herself, it did not disturb his meditating state at all. Fourteen years ago, the seriously injured Ye Kun was rescued by the young Yuan Xuan in Luo Hais North Hill Enclosure. Yuan Xuan was only 15 years old then. When Mu Feng brought Mu Chenyan back to Luo Hai one monthter, Mu Chenyan was only 10 years old... Chapter 257 - Miss Mu Is Brilliant

Chapter 257: Miss Mu Is Brilliant

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Uncle Kun, how do you feel today? Yuan Xuan sat beside Ye Kun and used a gentle tone when he spoke to him as though they had been friends for more than a decade. Ye Kun faintly opened his eyes and smiled once he had gotten used to the light. Although he had gone through numerous hardships, his handsome looks from the past could still be faintly seen on his face. Ye Kuns tone sounded faintly distressed as he spoke, Young Master, Im still alright. Ive recently been eating more than usual so Ill probably start getting better soon! Yuan Xuan took a box of cigarettes out from his pocket and reached out to pass them to Ye Kun. This is the vor that Uncle Kun likes! Ye Kun nced at the box. This brand of cigarettes called 1979 were specially supplied to the army. They were harsh cigarettes that could not be bought on the market. Doctor Yuan will scold me if he finds out! Ye Kun took the box from Yuan Xuan although his hands were trembling intensely. Ill hide them from him so that I can smoke them. He sounded childish. Yuan Xuan smiled. Third Uncle is an expert in the medical field. Frankly, you shouldnt smoke because of your overall health! Ye Kun sneered. His hand trembled terribly when he extended it. Since this condition had persisted for over a decade, he could not even lift bowls anymore. No one could have imagined that Ye Kun used to be the greatest sharpshooter in the past. His arms were long and slender while there were tough callouses that neatly lined the bases of four of his fingers. These bruises symbolized the discipline that he went through after experiencing hundreds of battles. My hands are worn out while the rest of myrades are dead. Im the only one living a miserable life today. Aside from the times when I smoke and temporarily forget these things, I feel as though I dont have a single redeeming quality... Ye Kuns eyes clouded over. He had been tormented by PTSD for nearly fourteen years! Yuan Xuan reached his hand out and held Ye Kuns before whispering, Uncle Kun, its all in the past. Ye Kuns lips faintly trembled before he shut his eyes. His hoarse voice sounded mncholic, Young Master, you shouldnt have saved me this time... If you allowed me to go over there and apany them, I actually think that it would have been rather nice... Uncle Kun, thest name of the person who wanted to harm you this time is Mu! Yuan Xuans voice was deep and t while his stern eyes were brimming with coldness. Yuan Xuan had remained silent about the Zong He poisoning case for a long time. Ye Kuns body violently shuddered when he heard that the murderer was a member of the Mu Family. He mbered up from the deck chair and gritted his teeth together so hard that they made screeching noises. I understand. Dont worry, Young Master. I wont die at the hands of this person named Mu! The woman who directly administered the poisonmitted suicide today! However, shes not the only person that the Mu Family is manipting. Yuan Xuan exerted more force with his wrists and tightened his grip around Ye Kuns trembling hands. Ye Kunughed bitterly. His furious gaze was not as weak as before. His voice sounded rough and aged, I have stayed alive miserably for so many years in hopes that I would see the Mu Family pay the price! He turned his head and looked at Yuan Xuan when he spoke. His voice was iparably miserable when he said, Young Master, Id like to see your pretty little wife... Yuan Xuan nodded. This was the first time that Ye Kun had revealed his coaxing attitude. Then be good, eat your meals, and go along with Doctor Yuans treatment. Ill take you to see her once youve healed. ... Major Crimes Department Mu Chenyans arrival shocked everyone. Had she not said that she was ill? Why did herplexion look rosier? Who could have guessed that this womans rosiness stemmed from the Third Young Master of the Yuan Familys nightly lessons? There was a new case in the department. However, everyone was more surprised at the new development that Mu Chenyan had revealed regarding the Zong He poisoning case. As he had solved cases for many years, Wu Huai was filled with anger at the thought of such a simple case reaching a deadlock and bing a dead case. He had certainly thought of visiting the hospital to forcibly pry open the mouth of the woman who was admitted there. Nheless, Zhao Yanni herself had been a victim of the poisoning case. She was fortunate that she did not die earlier despite being severely poisoned inparison to the others. However, her testimony was barely useful in the eyes of thew on ount of her mental illness. There were sequences in solving cases and rules that had to be followed. Although Wu Huais manner had always made him resemble a rebel, he certainly did not possess the characteristics of an actual one. He had allowed a golden opportunity to slip by because people were already dead. As of today, the only person who could tell the truth hadmitted suicide as a means of taking on the offenders me themselves. This forced them to close the case and Wu Huai was unwilling to ept this. There was a wooden square table inside his average-sized office. Wu Huai pushed a pile of files aside carelessly before opening a piece of paper on the table and carefully reading it over and over again. There were hundreds of doubts arising in his mind. Had Zhao Yanni really addressed her one and only suicide note to Mu Chenyan? That meant that Mu Chenyan was the only person who was worthy enough to be trusted in the eyes of the deceased woman. Although she was a suspected murderer of her daughter, Zhao Yanni still disyed an unusual amount of trust in her. Wu Huai raised his head and looked at Mu Chenyan. This woman seemed fragile on the outside but really she was actually full of vigor! He had initially assumed that she was only a beautiful but superficial woman who had asked Wu Ze for this job. It seemed as though the situation was not as simple as he had originally imagined. A new n for Mu Chenyan emerged in Wu Huais heart. Miss Mu, you may not be a criminal police officer but helping us solve cases is the duty of every citizen. Wu Huais gaze shifted back and forth across Mu Chenyans body in consideration as he suddenly opened his mouth to speak. This upright man had never looked at his wife or in fact, any other woman in this manner. Mu Chenyan secretlyughed to herself when she heard Wu Huai spouting this official jargon. She could guess that this was not actually Wu Huais field of expertise. Captain Wu, Ill keep an eye on Ruoxin so dont worry! Mu Chenyan stopped speaking to Wu Huai in a roundabout manner without even waiting for him to directly state the conclusion. Mu Chenyan had always been humble towards Wu Huai. She was even more likable now when she treated him like an older brother whom she worshiped. Youre so smart! Wu Huaiughed while he deeply sighed in his heart. It was not surprising that Yuan Xuan doted on his Little Mistress so much. Thank you for taking the trouble, Miss Mu! Did you enjoy your holiday? Wu Huai had no idea what Yuan Xuan was doing. Why was Yuan Xuan keeping the Little Mistress at home after she had returned from East Bridge? The main point was that he did not know about the dangerous situation that Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan had encountered in City C. Captain Wu, I should be able to return to work already! No, no, no. I meant that Mis Mu should stay at home and get more rest if youre unwell. Wu Huais smile was beaming. This normallypletely serious middle-aged man would alwaysugh like this when he needed to make a request of someone. The people in his team would say that Captain Wu could only put on a false smile while others said that he looked worse when he smiled than when he cried... This much was expected! Mu Chenyan pursed her lips together and quietly chuckled when she recalled the things that her team members had previously said behind Wu Huais back. Yes, I can even meet Miss Zhao more often if I spend more days lying around at home... Wu Huai grinned and sighed. Miss Mu is brilliant! Su Qingcheng came out of Wu Huais office and approached them. Tell me, whats going on? Mu Chenyan threw the file she was carrying into Su Qingchengs hands. Its exactly as it seems. Someone has acted as the scapegoat for the Zong He case! What are you nning to doter about that problem with Zhao Ruoxin? Su Qingcheng suddenly felt that the Yuan Family Mansion which belonged to Luo Hais most illustrious family had be an extremely dangerous ce. It was really difficult to determine the good people from the evil ones. Su Qingcheng was worried for Mu Chenyan. Whatever! Mu Chenyanughed when she said that. Chapter 258 - Ah Fu, Throw That Suit Away

Chapter 258: Ah Fu, Throw That Suit Away

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Yuan Family had informed the Zhao Family about Zhao Yannis funeral arrangements. Although Zhao Yanni had left home for many years, she was still able to assist the Zhao Family as she was rted to Shu Heng by thew of marriage. However, the Zhao Familypletely severed their ties with Zhao Yanni after the scandal that urredter on. As of today, her two older brothers were the only surviving members of the Zhao Family and neither of them cared about her at all. There was actually no response when news of Zhao Yannis death wasmunicated to them. The world treated you based on your sesses and people did not necessarily wish you the best. Although the Zhao Family did not care much for one of their own, the Old Mistress of the Yuan Family could not ignore this for Qinger and Ruoxins sake. Thus, she bought a favorable plot in the cemetery and buried Zhao Yanni there. On the day of the burial, the seasonal cloudy weather brought about the pitter-patter of light rain. The Old Mistress did not personally attend the funeral instead she arranged for Wen Ya and Mu Chenyan to apany Zhao Ruoxin instead. Despite everything, she was Zhao Ruoxins only living rtive left on this earth. To be more exact, she was Shu Qingers sole surviving rtive! Her father had abandoned his wife and daughter while her younger sister had died to protect her. As of today, her only rtive had also passed away. Shu Qingers heart of stone must have felt at least a sliver of emotion. Zhao Ruoxin leaped forward and attempted to snatch the box of ashes just as the coffin was about to be buried. She miserably screamed out, Mother, dont... dont go... The burial workers exchanged nces but none of them dared to make any rash movements. Mu Chenyan believed that at that very moment, Zhao Ruoxins true feelings and emotions were finally revealed. Unfortunately, it was toote as both of them were on opposite sides now. Since Wen Ya was the eldest sister-inw and had been sent to the funeral by the Old Mistress, she had no choice but to fulfill her duties during these asions. She brought the maids to pull Ruoxin away before she consoled her, saying, Ruoxin, control yourself. Aunty Zhao is gone... Zhao Ruoxin began to cry uncontrobly as she was pulled aside. When she saw that Yuan Xuan who had been standing beside her, holding a ck umbre to shield Mu Chenyan from the rain, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and loudly wept. Brother Xuan, I... Im a real orphan now... Zhao Ruoxins body was damp with the rainwater that had just sshed while her little face was pale with shock. Moreover, her dark purple lips and dripping wet hair that stuck to her forehead made her look pitifully frail. Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya were both shocked. This somber asion was certainly not an appropriate time for arguments. Mu Chenyan remained silent and simply fixed her gaze on Yuan Xuan. Zhao Ruoxin hugged him tightly and miserably wept while Yuan Xuans face clouded over with uneasiness. He held the umbre with one hand and continued to shield Mu Chenyan while his other hand gently patted Zhao Ruoxins shoulder. Ruoxin, your grandmother still loves you so dont worry. Yuan Xuan then turned towards Wen Ya and whispered, Im sorry for troubling you, sister-inw. Wen Ya knew what he meant and went over to drag Zhao Ruoxin off Yuan Xuans body. Zhao Ruoxins emotions were still agitated. She wailed loudly, I need you... I need you to love me... Mu Chenyans heart thumped in excitement. Although she looked calm, Mu Chenyan actually felt as though that in a certain corner of her heart, a bottle had been knocked down causing jealousy to spill out everywhere uncontrobly. She was the only person here who knew of Zhao Ruoxins unsavory past. Zhao Ruoxins brazen actions were, in fact, unsurprising since she knew that Qinger was still present in one corner of Yuan Xuans heart... This woman seemed to have lost her mind due to sorrow. She cried and kicked up a fuss in the cemetery before fainting from exhaustion not long after. During their journey back to the mansion, Mu Chenyan sat in the passengers seat of Yuan Xuans car while Zhao Ruoxin slept soundly in the back seat. The three of them had slowly but surely returned to their original state of coexistence. Yuan Xuan had taken both women to watch a circus performance in this manner during Christmas one year. These three individuals had a delicate rtionship with each other. Before Mu Chenyan returned to Luo Hai from Xi Fan, the person who was by Yuan Xuans side was Shu Qinger. Thus, Shu Qinger had always been regarded as Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart. Mu Chenyan was considered her sessor. Due to that, the young Mu Chenyan was extremely confident in herself. In her mind, it did not matter who loved him first because only one person would win out in the end. Perhaps Yuan Xuan did not understand the true meaning of love when he was younger. Although Shu Qinger had been by his side for more than a decade, he still thought of her as his little sister. Conversely, Yuan Xuan had just entered his youth when she arrived. Moreover, he also happened to meet her at that age... Mu Chenyan had never thought that Yuan Xuan might have chosen Shu Qinger if she had neither followed him to Ennd nor pestered him the same way Little Ginger Fur Ball hung around Briquet... Unknowingly, her chaotic thoughts caused her emotions to manifest onto her face. When he saw that Mu Chenyan beside him looked unwell, Yuan Xuan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and held her hand with the other. Hisrge hand was warm and dry as heat continuously radiated from his palm. Drive safely! Mu Chenyan pulled her hand away and fixed her cor while her gaze drifted off into the distance. Yuan Xuanughed bitterly to himself. He had been given the cold shoulder. It was inevitable that she would grow up one day. No longer would Mu Chenyan be a fearless person who insisted on having her own way when it came to love. The car drove down a winding path that led to Luo Hais Yuan Family mansion. Mu Chenyan thought to herself that she must have traveled along this road several thousand times before. The scenery was the same but everyone was in an unusually mncholic mood. ... Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan returned to the Hibiscus Garden after sending Zhao Ruoxin home. The moonlight was bright and clear. The ground was slightly slippery as it had just rained so Yuan Xuan held his wifes waist firmly as they walked across thewn. The fresh scent of soil permeated through the air. May was supposed to be a month when everything came back to life but it had been filled with a session of deaths instead. Yuan Xuan, if I hadnt pestered you in the beginning... Mu Chenyan suddenly paused her steps while her pupils seemed as though they were filled with stars. You would still be Mrs. Yuan! Dont let your imagination run wild. Mu Chenyans sentence was cut off quickly as Yuan Xuan already knew what she was about to say. Mu Chenyan contracted her body in his warm embrace while her gaze was filled with confusion. Apparently, her heart could still be swayed by Yuan Xuan. After bing aware of the rtionship between him and Shu Qinger, Mu Chenyan had initially assumed that she would slowly give up chasing him and distance herself from Yuan Xuan. However, she had instead discovered that whenever she encountered situations like this, her first response would be that she was afraid of losing... The Hibiscus Garden When Ah Fu took the suit jacket from Yuan Xuan that he had taken off, she murmured, Since the weather is cold and its been raining the entire day, I boiled some chicken soup. Once Mistress has showered,e downstairs and Ill have it ready... Mu Chenyan had already walked towards the corner of the stairs when she suddenly heard Yuan Xuan say, Ah Fu, throw that suit away! His voice was frosty and devoid of a single hint of warmth as though he had put up with these clothes for a very long time. Ah Fu was shocked. A troubled expression appeared on her face when she looked at the ck suit in her hands. After being by his side for three years, Ah Fu knew that the Young Master was extremely particr about his clothes. All of his suits were custom-made by hand and worth several hundred thousand... Young Master, youre probably just upset that these nice clothes are dirty. Ill take them to be washed and Ill properly iron them... Nonsense. If I tell you to throw them away, just do it! Mu Chenyan had never seen Yuan Xuan behave this way before. Ah Fu was startled. She jogged the whole way and stuffed the suit into a garbage bag before she ced it in the garbage bin at the entrance. Yuan Xuan snatched a white towel and gently wiped his chin as Zhao Ruoxins hair had stroked that area in the afternoon... Why havent you gone upstairs yet? Yuan Xuan returned to his usual aristocratic manner when he came upstairs and noticed that his wife was standing there, lost in a daze. He was humble and gentle now, as though the man who had recently demanded in an extremely disgusted tone for his suit jacket to be thrown away earlier was apletely different person. They were such nice clothes... Mu Chenyan could notprehend Yuan Xuans unpredictability either. Its not a big deal. I didnt want them anymore because they were dirty. If Mistress is upset, Ill go out and work hard to earn more money. Yuan Xuan said this as though he was really worried that Mu Chenyan was upset. Mistress will be in charge of managing our household funds in the future. I can earn money but I dont know how to manage it. As a matter of fact, I just wasted several hundred thousand today! Mu Chenyan was amused by his false modesty. She coyly whined, You sound as though you really mean it! Chapter 259 - 5000 Word Update, Undivided Chapter

Chapter 259: 5000 Word Update, Undivided Chapter

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Both of them had traveled along a treacherous icy road earlier but these current interactions made Mu Chenyan suddenly feel as though her heart had been warmed. She could not stop a smile from forming on the corners of her lips. When Zhao Ruoxin pounced on Yuan Xuan earlier in the afternoon, it would be somewhat inurate to say that she waspletely unconcerned. After all, she was still a woman. Was there even a single woman in the world who was immune to even the slightest tinge of jealousy? Mu Chenyan thought to her self that if Yuan Xuan wanted to throw that piece of clothing away, so be it! She was also unhappy that it had been tainted with another womans breath. Mu Chenyan hurried her footsteps as she was afraid that Yuan Xuan could sense the sinister air in her thoughts. She instantly burrowed into the bedroom and snatched a towel from the closet before going to take a shower. Yuan Xuan remained silent although he could tell that his wife was secretly delighted. He took the cat food upstairs to see his son and daughter... Little Ginger Fur Ball was behaving bossily towards Briquet. The first bite of cat food would always be given to her first. On average, she ate more than Briquet. Thus, Little Ginger Fur Ball had be much fatter after a week. Her body was a lot rounder while her energy had greatly increased as well. She would hold Briquet down underneath her for no reason and meow to disy her strength. Meow meow, arent you naughty? Little Ginger Fur Ball was an uncontroble fierce young woman who was very fat! Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows while looking at the annoyed Briquet. He quietly reproached him. Briquet, this is uneptable. You have to be bold and manly. How can you always let yourself be oppressed by a woman? Briquet looked stupefied. He was too afraid to resist Little Ginger Fur Ball because this kitten was too tough. However, he felt immensely troubled when his daddy criticized him... Moreover, since Briquet naturally doted on women, he would be reluctant to get mad at Little Ginger Fur Ball even if she became fiercer when she disturbed him. When Little Ginger Fur Ball saw her daddy instigating Briquet, she thought to herself, Hmph, thats easy for you to say, daddy. Who was the one who threw away his suit in fear after noticing that Mistress looked upset? ... When Mu Chenyan could not find anyone downstairs after her shower, she realized that Yuan Xuan must have gone upstairs to the third floor. Sure enough, she saw Yuan Xuan kneeling on the floor chatting to Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet. Once mommy gets pregnant, you cant fight the baby for attention! But once the babys older, you can y with him. Hey, when do you think mommy will get pregnant? Yuan Xuan spoke earnestly to the two kittens as though they were really having a serious discussion and that they could really give him some ideas. Little Ginger Fur Ball seemed to say, Meow meow... dont be hasty, daddy! Briquet seemingly said, Meow meow... you have to keep working hard, daddy! Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. Yuan Xuan quietlyughed to himself. Youre right, Briquet. Daddy should work really hard to get mommy to sleep with him! Mu Chenyan became rather worried. When did this man be so immature? The outside world would definitely be shocked if they saw the Yuan Familys vtile Third Young Master, a powerful figure who brazenly charged through Luo Hai, acting like this. However, Mu Chenyan was more worried that they wouldugh their heads off instead. She quietly retreated and went downstairs without disturbing Yuan Xuans fantasies. There was still half a box of Marvelon contraceptives in the bedroom drawer. Something stirred in the corner of Mu Chenyans heart when she looked at that half-empty box of pills and recalled Yuan Xuans behavior on the rooftop earlier. One day, if they each failed to get their own happy endings, at least they would have something to remember each other by if they had a child. After all, Mu Chenyan had loved him for so many years. As she thought of this, Mu Chenyan swung her arm and threw the pills into the rubbish bin... ... As per usual, Wen Ya did not meet with her husband Yuan Zhe at the Peace Mansion when she returned from the cemetery. Normally, it was very difficult for her to have a meal with Yuan Zhe as well. When Wen Ya came out of the bathroom after she had showered, the maid ran over and announced, Madam has invited Mistress over for a meal. Wen Ya nodded but appeared to be reluctant. Alright. Wen Ya was terribly unwilling to attend to these matters as she was still slightly tired after returning from the cemetery. The second son of the Yuan Family would always ask Wen Ya the same question every time she went over there for a meal. Wen Ya, why havent you gotten pregnant yet? Unlike Mu Chenyan who was intentionally avoiding pregnancy, Wen Ya had never taken any preventive measures. However, it seemed like God was teasing her when he gave her a baby at the time when she was not supposed to get pregnant. This left her with no choice but to marry Yuan Zhe. Throughout her life, Wen Yas tragic fate had escted towards its peak when she married that man. It was unfortunate that she could not keep that child. Moreover, it was brutally stripped from her body. This act had enraged God. Thus, she could not get pregnant anymore after having that miscarriage. ... Wen Ya sat on the sofa and stared at the clock ticking away on the wall. It was already past seven oclock. Yuan Zhe would have finished his work long ago but as usual, he had not returned and apanied her for dinner. The maid saw Wen Ya staring nkly while she sat on the sofa but was too afraid toe forward and remind her. Although Eldest Young Mistress seemed to be beaming on the outside, the entire Peace Mansion knew that she was merely passing her time each day on the inside. However, none of them dared to specte about their Masters activities as they were merely maids. Thus, everyone could tell that Wen Ya was hiding things such as her dead marriage, the brutal violence, and the torture that she endured. Unfortunately, no one dared to pipe up. Hence, nobody would report this to Old Mistress if Wen Ya did not mention it. The Yuan Family Mansion seemedpletely serene because of that. Whenever she left or returned, Wen Ya was seen as the generous and elegant Eldest Young Mistress who was befitting of her title. As the wife of the Yuan Familys second son, Xue Meiwei came from a distinguished family as well. She was a well-known local musician in her youth who yed the violin very well. After marrying Yuan Tangzhong, she slowly withdrew from the performing industry and became a music teacher instead. Thus, a woman who was as educated and aplished as her was just as likely to harbor the thought and intention of producing a male heir to continue the family line as much as anyone else. Wen Ya knew that the old woman had definitely called her over to talk about children again. She changed her clothes quickly and went over to the main residence in Peace Mansion. The two residences in the Peace Mansion were separated by a little garden so Wen Ya walked around that garden. Through the French windows, she saw the old woman elegantly sitting on the sofa and sipping tea wrapped in a silk shawl. Wen Ya entered the residence through the front hall. It was shrouded in fog because it had just rained during the day. The maid brought a white towel over so that she could wipe her hair as her body was slightly damp. Xue Meiwei could not help but sigh when she saw that Wen Yas face was a ghostly pale color while her lips were clearlycking its usual rosiness when she came over. She turned around and instructed the maid, Go and get some herbal soup for Young Mistress! Her daughter-inw was considerably up to par. Needless to say, Wen Ya was pretty. However, herplexion did not seem like she was fit to have a child at all no matter how one looked at it. The second son of the Yuan Family only had one adult son, Yuan Zhe. As Yuan Zheswful wife, how could Wen Ya be reluctant to have children? Since Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Zhe were involved in politics, it would be inappropriate to mention that Yuan Zhe had a child out of wedlock. Xue Meiwei was not fully in favor of their marriage in the beginning. After all, this could have benefited Yuan Zhe whatsoever because the Wen Familys fortunes had declined. However, this was insignificant inparison to Wen Yas pregnancy at the time. Moreover, Old Mistress and Yuan Tangzhong had already agreed to this, especially Old Mistress who knew that the womans family would argue that the grandson of the Yuan Family was irresponsible since she was already pregnant. Thus, the marriage was decided like that. As of that day, the union was formed although the child had been lost. Nheless, they could not simply just kick Wen Ya out of the family like that, right? Moreover, Wen Ya had been tremendously well-behaved for so many years while Yuan Zhe was very much responsible for the death of his child that year. If he mentioned divorce, it would probably be impossible for him to exin himself to Old Mistress. Xue Meiweisplexion deteriorated every time she thought about these troubles. She said to Wen Ya, Youre a woman so the matters outside that involve your career should all be secondary. Taking care of your body so that you can have a child sooner is the right thing to do! This much was expected! It was the same old story again. Wen Ya quietlyughed. Mother is right. Once the National Arts Commerce has stabilized and Ive passed the misceneous tasks to my assistant and secretary, I can momentarily rest. Xue Meiwei knew that Wen Ya had a tolerant personality and would not retaliate even if she had said something truly horrible. Xue Meiwei sighed. The third son of the Yuan Family had shares in the National Arts Commerce. Yuan Xuan was the main shareholder because he had previously purchased a chain of retail stores. However, he passed over the authority to Wen Ya and allowed her to manage them as he appreciated her abilities. The mother-inw and her daughter-inw sat on two separate sides of the wide sandalwood table while the maid went upstairs to call on Yuan Tangzhong toe down. As someone who had been removed from the masses for many years, Yuan Tangzhong was used to the elegance and superiority of aristocracy. In the Peace Mansion, he was also considered as an autocratic man. As he walked down the stairs Yuan Tangzhong saw that Wen Ya was the only person who hade over for dinner, he quietly asked, Whats the matter? Did Yuan Zhe refuse toe again? Wen Ya rose from her seat. Herplexion was slightly flushed and she was too afraid to raise her head to look at Yuan Tangzhong. She merely murmured, Hes been very busytely so hes only beening home veryte at night. Upon hearing this, Xue Meiwei voiced herints towards Yuan Tangzhong, saying, I allowed him to work with you but you keep our son so busy every day. I dont know how you can do this as his father! You can just assign these silly little tasks to someone else. Why do you have to keep him tied up all the time? Busy? Hmph! Ill be thankful if he doesnt get into any trouble! Yuan Tangzhong seemed unhappy with Xue Meiweis tone. Xue Meiwei was speechless. A loving mother will always give in to her son! Are you unaware of the things that hes been doing outside? He nced at his daughter-inw who was by the side when he spoke before he swallowed back his words. Yuan Tangzhong sat down on his own seat. He was so furious that his entire body trembled. He turned to Xue Meiwei and said, Keep a close eye on him and make sure that he goes out less frequently now. He used up some money that was meant as rewards for the army veterans. Im afraid that this incident will make him unable to form rtionships! Since Xue Meiwei did not understand politics, she mentally paid it no mind as she heard them discussing this new found information. Our households finances arecking? How is this matter rted to Zhe Zhe? Yuan Tangzhong was so angered by his wifes attitude that he was about to hit the table. Your understanding is shallow! He might be unconcerned about money but is he not afraid that other people might abuse his name and drag him down with them? Xue Meiwei lost her train of thought when Yuan Tangzhong yelled at her. Since she had been humiliated in front of her daughter-inw, she turned around and projected her anger on Wen Ya instead. This woman thinks too highly of herself! Wen Ya, you have to be mindful as well. If you dont think of a way to make your husband stay with you but allow him to fool around and do as he pleases outside, how would it be possible for him not to associate with lowly people in romantic situations? All five vors were present while the various colors and aromas wafted about. However, there was only a bitter taste in Wen Yas mouth when she looked at the table that was filled with a variety of dishes. She smiled faintly. Mother is right. Ill go home and advise himter tonight. Yuan Tangzhong was unhappy with his wifes attitude but Xue Meiwei had always considered herself as the wife of a respected man. Furthermore, since she was also from an aristocratic family, she was rather stubborn to the core and possessed a superiorityplex. She would endlessly indulge her son while being rather demanding towards her daughter-inw. It was very likely that this had caused trouble for Wen Ya. Yuan Tangzhong softened his tone, As a mother, you should usually make an effort to support Wen Ya. Yuan Zhe has always been bad tempered so itll be difficult for Wen Ya to pacify him on her own when he loses control. Xue Meiwei gently shook her head and tly replied, Hes a man so its normal for him to lose his temper sometimes. Wen Yas body trembled. It seemed like the old man and woman were already aware of Yuan Zhes domestic abuse towards her! ... The night breeze brought some warmth to the weather in May. Since it had just rained, the nts in the Peace Mansions garden were lush and green as they had been nourished by the rain and dew. When Wen Ya walked past the little garden, she saw that the Japanese banana tree was lusher than from previous years. She crouched down and stroked the damp soil below the Japanese banana tree. Child, is it cold down there? Wen Ya was already more than 5 months pregnant that year but Yuan Zhe still refused to show restraint during their bedroom activities. It finally happened when Yuan Zhe discovered a new position on a drunken night. The force that violently shoved forward caused Wen Ya to suddenly feel an unbearable pain in her stomach. She begged Yuan Zhe to stop before she felt a warm stream of blood flowing down her thigh... The remains of the baby boy that had already formed when he slipped out were secretly brought home by her from the hospital before she buried him under this Japanese banana tree... Wen Ya who had been treated coldly by everyone was quietly groaning under the tree. The only person who truly knew the misery in her heart was her child who had already departed from this world. ... Midnight Wen Ya was dressed in a loose white silk nightgown as she hugged her knees and waited in the living room. Her face was frosty while the delicate curves of her body seemed extremely frail under this loose nightgown. Yuan Zhe only returned at midnight. The smell of alcohol and the scent of another womans perfume lingered on his body. The maid rushed over to grab the clothes that Yuan Zhe had removed after he pushed the front door open and entered. When the maid smelled the alcohol on his body, she turned around to get some soup for him to sober up. However, Yuan Zhe waved hisrge hands and instructed the maid to leave. Eldest Young Mistress Yuan... Are you sitting here waiting for me? Yuan Zhes tone was filled with ridicule. Yuan Zhe sat beside Wen Ya as he spoke before he held her slim shoulders with hisrge hand. Wen Ya was actually nning to discuss the subject of children with Yuan Zhe. She was willing to be very magnanimous. If Yuan Zhe brought a child back from somewhere else, she would raise it. Did Xue Meiwei not merely say that she wanted a grandchild for the Yuan Family? It did not necessarily mean that she had to be the one to give birth, right? However, Wen Yas heart was filled with disgust when she saw Yuan Zhe approaching her now. She dodged towards one side but she could not resist his strength. When Yuan Zhe pulled her into his arms, Wen Ya nearly vomited as she could smell the perfume all over his body. Let go of me! Dont touch me when your body is tainted with the stench of another woman! Wen Yas angry tone and her physical resistance provoked Yuan Zhe and terribly upset him. He sarcasticallyughed and said, My wife is jealous! Upon hearing this, Wen Ya sneered. Jealous? Yuan Zhe, you must think very highly of yourself, right? You think that Id get jealous because of you? Yuan Zhes expression became graver while he furiously red at Wen Ya. This woman had nowhere to vent her anger and grief. Thus, she could only say these things now. Ive given up on you a long time ago! Why would I get jealous because of you? I was waiting for you today to tell you that your mother is pressuring me to have a baby again. But you already know that Ill never be willing to have a baby with someone like you! If youre skilled enough, get one of your women outside to give birth to your child and then bring it home. Ill raise it for you! Yuan Zhes entire body was shrouded by a malicious aura. His round eyes were filled with rage while a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corners of his lips as he red at Wen Ya. Wen Ya suddenly felt a strong urge to vent her anger when she saw Yuan Zhes appearance. Yuan Zhe, did I hit a sore spot? Its not as though you didnt want to impregnate another woman with your seed all along, but the problem was that you couldnt, right? Wen Ya mockingly sneered before she adding, Didnt that little B-list celebrity previously say that she was pregnant with your child? However, she probably didnt even know who actually fathered her baby, right? If youre willing to be a white knight, I wont go andin to mother about this! Yuan Zhe knew that Wen Ya was ridiculing his incapability when he heard this. The mans self-esteem crashed to the floor before he gripped his wifes chin with hisrge rough hands. Several red fingerprints immediately formed on Wen Yas delicate skin where it had been pinched. Wen Ya, do you know that youre ying with fire? Didnt you say that you refused to get pregnant with my child? Are you making fun of my abilities? Yuan Zhe suddenly pounced on her as he spoke and firmly pressed her down underneath his body. Yuan Zhe yanked off his tie while speaking. Upon seeing this, Wen Ya who was underneath him trembled from head to toe and curled up into a ball. She shoved him with her hands and attempted to create a survival opportunity for herself. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhe used the tie that he had pulled off to tightly bind her hands to the sofas armrest. When she saw the lust and desire that erupted from Yuan Zhes eyes, Wen Ya was so afraid that she shivered. After all, she was still a woman. Yuan Zhe... You idiot... Let go of me! Yuan Zhe scoffed while releasing his belt buckle at the same time. Wen Ya started to cry and squeezed her thighs closer together in an attempt to prevent him from assaulting her. She loudly wailed, Help! Save me... There were two permanent maids who lived in the side house in the external residences. They would hear her if she made enough noise. There was a ray of hope in Wen Yas heart! Yuan Zhe could not help his rage from burning brighter when he saw that Wen Ya was strongly resisting and noisily yelling. He exerted more force and used his hands to rip the fabric off the womans body in several swift motions... No... No... Wen Ya was helpless! Tears streaked down her little face as she wept while cursing at the same time. Ahh! ... They rarely made love to each other after that baby had been miscarried. When Yuan Zhe saw his wifes faintly flushed cheeks and body, he quietly cursed, Youre still so beautiful, you vixen... He had not touched her for several years. However, when Yuan Zhe trespassed into this forbidden frame of mind due to the influence of alcohol, it was suddenly difficult for him to control himself. Under the bright lights of the hall, Yuan Zhe shamelessly ravaged her while saying indecent things to provoke her... Unaware of the situation, the maid peered inside when she heard some noises. When she saw what was happening, she was so frightened that she stood nkly outside the door. Get out! Yuan Zhe furiously scolded her. The maid was so afraid that she hurriedly retreated and left. Wen Ya was so embarrassed that she wished that she was dead! Hatred flourished in her heart when she looked at Yuan Zhes prideful and threatening face while she descended below his body... She was not even 30 years old but her body had been slowly decaying because of this rotten marriage. The fire that had been extinguished was reignited once again at the moment when these two people became one today. Nheless, Wen Ya would definitely object if she was asked whether or not she loved this man. She resented him and it stemmed from the day when her child slipped out of her body while being surrounded by blood. She had felt endless hatred ever since... Despite that, Wen Yas body allowed him to ravage it during this activity between husband and wife although there were no benefits for her... Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes. How could God abuse a woman like this? Chapter 260 - I Like Mistress’ Blanket

Chapter 260: I Like Mistress nket

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Midnight, Peace Mansion Yuan Zhe had ravaged Wen Yas body to the point where both of them werepletely exhausted. Yuan Zhe headed upstairs to shower without disying even the slightest hint of sympathy for what he had done to her. Wen Yas arms were still tied to the sofa. Her gaze was empty while herpletely naked body faintly shivered due to the night breeze in May. She slowly moved her numb and aching legs... Wen Ya bitterly smiled and struggled a few times before realizing that her arms were firmly tied. No part of her body had been left unscathed. The green, purple, ck, and red marks clearly disyed Yuan Zhes recent brutality.... Thest thing that Yuan Zhe said had humiliated her the most. Dont you hate me to the bone? However, I can see that youre trembling beneath me... The bastards smile was extremely insulting! Wen Yas tears had almost dried up while her voice was so hoarse that it greatly pained her to even swallow her saliva. She had certainly been aroused by him, and then... Wen Ya wanted to die when she thought of this. She hated herself! However, she could not ept this. Why did she have to be the one to die? Why did she have to die while the devil was allowed to roam free? Wen Ya only realized that the Wen Family was in dire straits the year after she married Yuan Zhe. She could have initially furthered her studies in London but her father made several phone calls to inform her that the Wen Family was about to go bankrupt. Her older brother was in charge of inviting government tenders for a project to renovate the running track around theke and Luo Hai National Stadium but an excessive amount of diphenmine substance was detected. When several construction workers were poisoned, their family members brought along more people to stir up trouble before they eventually destroyed the Wen Familyspany. Rumors had quickly started spreading all over the Inte. They said that the father and son of the Wen Family sold inferior goods marketed as superior ones for more money and profit. They also said that the materials that they used did not match the countrys standard at all. Thus, the stocks of the Wen Familys business plummeted almost immediately. Moreover, the governments security department came looking for the Wen Family as well to make sure they dismantled and took down the parts inside the stadium and the running track around theke that had been already renovated. This was equivalent to the Wen Family falling into a deathtrap. It was needless to say that they would not be receiving their payment for the project. Furthermore, since they were now also associated with this reputation, if they continued investigating this issue, her father and brother would certainly be jailed. When Wen Ya hastily returned home from living overseas, she had apanied her father to a banquet and during the ensuing confusion ended up sleeping with a man... In reality, she had actually been given arge amount of date rape drugs! That was only the beginning of her nightmare. Wen Ya did not know that she had slept with someone from the Yuan Family until the day she tested positive for a pregnancy test. Her father who was overjoyed by this turn of events made a phone call to contact the members of the Yuan Family... If she wanted someone to me for this mess, Wen Ya should have med her own father first! It was not as if Wen Ya had never thought of walking away. However, her father and older brother were kneeling before her, begging... The Yuan Family was incredibly powerful and influential in Luo Hai. Moreover, she was carrying the Yuan Familys descendant in her very own womb. Wen Ya had epted her fate with tears in her eyes. At least she could save the lives of the entire Wen Family by sacrificing only herself. However, there was one thing that she could never figure out. After they had been married, why was Yuan Zhes tone always sarcastic towards her when he was not treating her indifferently? Then came one day when she eavesdropped on one of Yuan Zhes phone calls. He told the person on the other end of the line to give a cut to the vendor who supplied the Wen Family with their materials. Those people were allowed to take an appropriate amount ofmission and escape far away... Only then did Wen Ya discover that the supposed problematic project was merely Yuan Zhes own personal plot! I was initially nning to use a public title to destroy the Wen Family and change the names of their shares and properties but I never expected that the stupid old man Wen Youquan could still think of an even better way by sacrificing his daughter. Well let them off first then! Yuan Zhes perverse tone made Wen Ya feel as though she had fallen into an ice cave. However, I was med for the pregnancy although I was only fooling around with that woman! Im really annoyed that the Old Mistress is so insistent on me marrying her. Do you know that I wasnt the only man that she slept with that night... Apparently, it was all a scheme! Moreover, Wen Ya was merely an idental pawn in this scheme that Yuan Zhe had happily gone along with... Thus, Wen Ya was destined to be the miserable party in this marriage. Nheless, she endured it because her mind was still thinking about the baby in her womb. However, Wen Ya had forgotten that the devil was inherently evil. He would not allow her to possess even a sliver of longing. When she lost her child on that cruel night, Wen Yasst ray of hope disappeared as well. Mu Chenyan had always asked Wen Ya why she had suddenly returned from abroad, married Yuan Zhe out of the blue, and severed all ties with her old friends. The only reason was that she had given up. Wen Ya was previously deeply in love with another man. However, the current state of her body meant that she would never even have the possibility to love that man ever again... Her happiness in the past were only memories now. The more Wen Ya tried to relive them, the more she felt like dying because of the pain. Although there was also unhappiness in Mu Chenyans marriage, there was no doubt that Yuan Xuans heart was filled with deep love for her. She was unlike Wen Ya. ... The Hibiscus Garden When Yuan Xuan came downstairs after he had finished feeding the cats, he saw Mu Chenyan sitting on the window seat staring nkly into space. She was still wrapped in a towel from her bath and her hair was damp. It had just rained and the moon shone brightly in the sky. Mu Chenyan nced at several thin clouds that floated high in the sky. Her little face was fair and glowing while her expression looked rather serene. Her slim and frail body was songuid that she looked like a cat. Meanwhile, her soft and smooth hair that had yet topletely dry looked fully jet-ck as it stuck onto her forehead. The moon had also looked like this when she and Yuan Tian participated in the summer camp that was organized by the school that year. Yuan Tian led them out to explore before they sessfully got lost... Yuan Xuan came looking for his sister because he was a family member of the Yuan Family. However, he immediately pulled Mu Chenyan into his arms when he found them in the cave. That was one of the rare asions that he had gotten close to her. Yuan Xuan was not so icily arrogant that he refused other peoples presence within a thousand kilometers. That hug was unusually warm so Mu Chenyan closed her eyes and enjoyed it for the moment as he tightly embraced her... At the time, Yuan Tian was so furious that she wanted to leave the cave and go somewhere else immediately... Yuan Xuan had a cold personality but he did not me them. He merely looked at the two troublesome little girls and quietly warned, If this happens again, Ill have to ce GPS cors around your necks and treat you like cats and dogs! Mu Chenyan recalled how she had stupidly pestered him despite his constantly gloomy and resentful attitude towards her and his perpetually serious face at the time. Undoubtedly, she was entangled with him for so many years because she yearned for that rare warmth... Whats on your mind? Yuan Xuan saw that his wife still had her lips pursed together and was smiling when he came out of the shower. Water was still trickling down his body while an enchanting ray glimmered across his honey-colored skin. Mu Chenyan turned her head and met Yuan Xuans profound gaze. She narrowed her body and lowered her eyes without daring to look at him again. Her brain never worked the way she wanted it too whenever she was in front of him. Despite being a person who was concerned about her own sex appeal, Mu Chenyan would always be naively captivated by him. On one hand, Mu Chenyan hated herself for being naive. It was unbelievable that she had previously fallen for his gentleness numerous times without properly investigating the terrible grudge that concerned her parents. On the other hand, she could not control herself because she was attracted to his manliness... Nothing! Mu Chenyan leaped off the window seat before she frantically burrowed under the covers. For some reason, Mu Chenyan was bing increasingly afraid of his scorching gaze that made her want to flee. Yuan Xuan persistently misbehaved. He enthusiastically approached her and came over despite seeing that Mu Chenyan was avoiding him. Mu Chenyan blushed when she recalled Yuan Xuans conversation with the cats upstairs. She fervently tried to hide herself under the nkets. She was breathing somewhat heavily when she murmured, You have your own nket so why do you have to squeeze under mine? I like Mistress nket! Chapter 261 - Are You Feeling Uncomfortable?” Yuan Xuan laughed slyly.

Chapter 261: Are You Feeling Ufortable? Yuan Xuanughed slyly.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Whenever Yuan Xuan had the intention of ravaging her, he would dazzle her over and over again with his slightly hoarse voice. Mu Chenyan felt her ears burning, so she pushed the nket towards him. Then, she said fiercely, Ill give it to you! Ill give everything to you! Instead of getting angry, Yuan Xuanughed when he saw her getting a little annoyed. No wonder Little Fur Ball Ginger is so violent and malicious. Cats usually take after the traits of their owner! Mu Chenyan became even angrier when she heard himparing her to that fat cat, Little Fur Ball Ginger. Youre the one whos a perverted cat! Yuan Xuan chuckled and his hands started to move around while he whispered, Mistress is right. Im indeed a perverted cat. Briquet convinced me toe back just now and ravage you nicely. Im an easily convinced man and Ill listen when a cat convinces me... By this time Mu Chenyan knew that she was in trouble, she was being tightly pressed underneath Yuan Xuan already... This goddamn man was using cats as an excuse to sleep with her! Brisquet told him to sleep with me, so he slept with me? Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes internally, but she had already entangled her arms around his neck. Yuan Xuan saw her blushing cheeks and he thought of an idea to tease her. He blew warm air onto her neck and whispered in a low voice, Good girl! His kisses traveled downwards and the tip of his tongue swept through her curves. Mu Chenyans entire body trembled continuously... Suddenly, Yuan Xuan stopped at her... Mu Chenyan suddenly eximed, Not there... Mu Chenyan was considered rather traditional and conservative. Thus, she could not ept many different kinds of techniques, but she was continuously forced by Yuan Xuan to step out of herfort zone. Are you feeling ufortable? Yuan Xuan chuckled. Mu Chenyan was lost in a daze already and her little face was burning red. She bit her lips and nodded her head heavily. If youre ufortable, beg your husband! Yuan Xuan continued to giggle while he looked at the Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan shook her head, she was not willing to talk. Yuan Xuan saw this and thought that it would be another round of torture. Mu Chenyans lips were hurting from the torture and she sobbingly asked, How? Yuan Xuan could not help butugh in his heart. This naive woman! Say, husband! Yuan Xuanmanded. Mu Chenyan did as he asked obediently. Yuan Xuan increased his pace without hesitation and Mu Chenyan moaned even louder. ... Throughout the entire night, Yuan Xuan ravaged Mu Chenyan until the sun came out. The womans aching body was being loved over and over again. Mu Chenyan felt as though she was being beaten up and was hurting everywhere. The satisfied Yuan Xuan woke up early in the morning and went out for his usual work out, whereas Mu Chenyanid on the bed and thought about life... After having breakfast, Yuan Xuan grabbed his car keys and got ready to go to work. Suddenly, a maid reported to him nervously, The Eldest Young Mistress from the Peace Mansion was sent to the hospitalst night! When Mu Chenyan heard that something had happened to Wen Ya, her entire body became drenched in cold sweat. What happened? Yuan Xuan had a cold look on his face and did not say anything, but Mu Chenyan asked hastily anyway. The maid continued, I heard that she had an argument with the Eldest Young Master and he pushed her down the stairs... Before Mu Chenyan knew about this, she did not think that it was a problem. However, she had seen Yuan Zhe hit Wen Ya before. This was most probably a domestic violence case and Wen Ya must have been heavily wounded. Which hospital was she admitted to? Yuan Xuan asked in a low voice, he had a dark expression on his face. The maid was frightened and she dared not raise her head. I heard from the maids in the Peace Mansion that she went to Sheng Yu... Mu Chenyan rushed upstairs. Ill go after I change my clothes... Yuan Xuan sighed when he saw how Mu Chenyan could hardly retain herposure. He raised his phone and called Tian Qi, Follow the Mistress today! ... Sheng Yu Hospital. Tian Qi followed behind Mu Chenyan with some fruits in his hand. He looked like a log with his huge build as he followed behind her closely. Mu Chenyan did not know what Yuan Xuan was worried about. She looked at Tian Qi as a loyal puppy and she could not help butugh. Mu Chenyan came here often to visit her mother, so she was very familiar with this hospital. She took a few turns and found the ward in the orthopedics department. Mu Chenyan saw the defeated look on Wen Yas face through the wards window, as though she was a butterfly with broken wings. She looked beautiful yet pitiful. Wen Ya had a cast on her left leg and it was hanging in the air. As expected, she had quite a severe injury. Mu Chenyan pushed open the door and walked into the room. Only then, she saw the bruises below Wen Yas neck that spread all over her pale arms to spots where even the patient gown could not cover. As a woman who has had sexual experiences, how could Mu Chenyan not know the meaning behind the bruises? However, the bruises that Yuan Xuan left on her were bruises made out of affection. Whereas the bruises on Wen Ya were clearly made out of brutal violence. Wen Ya, what happened to you? Mu Chenyan was not a sentimental person, but when she saw Wen Yas pale lips, she recalled the time when she had to endure her pain silently. Thus, she choked on her voice unintentionally. Despite how Wen Ya constantly distanced her self, Mu Chenyan had always treated her as a friend... A hint of liveliness appeared in Wen Yas hollow eyes. She moved her lips and said calmly, Just as you can see, Im not dead... The woman smiled bitterly and a teardrop rolled down from the corner of her right eye. Mu Chenyan was puzzled. Back when she had studied in the UK, Wen Ya was her senior. She was a gentle and beautiful woman who was the dream lover of many guys. Who would have thought that Wen Ya would end up like this today? Mu Chenyan sat on the chair next to the bed and held Wen Yas hand. Wen Ya, why dont you get a divorce if youre suffering so much to keep this marriage together? Mu Chenyan knew that it was irresponsible of her to say that. There must have been a reason as to why she did not get a divorce. Even so, they were once friends and Mu Chenyan did not want to see Wen Ya living in misery. Divorce? Wen Ya muttered. She turned towards Mu Chenyan, there was a confused look on her eyes. Divorce so that he can live a carefree life? Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. When Wen Ya saw how Mu Chenyan did not understand what she meant, her eyes turned dull. Sheughed coldly. I want the status as his wife even if I die. I want to see him suffer in the Yuan Family Mansion... Xue Meiwei has been forcing me to bear a child for Yuan Zhe. If I get a divorce, Yuan Zhe will marry a socialite and have kids. He will live a carefree life and I will have nothing left! Why should I do as he pleases? Mu Chenyan felt her heart tighten and she held Wen Yas hand with more force. Wen Ya, what is the point? Wen Ya smiled gloomily. Yeah! Why? She paused for a moment and looked towards Mu Chenyan. Her voice sounded pitiful, My whole life has been ruined just like that! Chenyan, youre not me, you will not understand my pain! Yuan Xuans love for you is as deep as the seas. Theres no one in this world who understands my pain! Chapter 262 - Lao Zi Didn’t Get To F*ck You That Day

Chapter 262: Lao Zi Didnt Get To F*ck You That Day

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt her heart muscles tighten up when she saw the hopeless look of resignation on Wen Yas face. Somehow she still insisted on staying in this marriage. Wen Ya was right, there was no one in this world who could possibly understand her pain. She was not Wen Ya, so how could she ever hope toprehend her suffering? Mu Chenyan continued to hold Wen Yas hand, her fingertips had gotten slightly cold. She genuinely felt that it was not worth it but she could note up with any moreforting words. Wen Ya smiled lightly when saw that Mu Chenyan had brought Tian Qi along. She changed the topic. Yuan Xuan has protected you well. He knows that any ce with the second son of the Yuan Family is a lions den. Mu Chenyan did not know Yuan Xuans true intentions. Only after hearing what Wen Ya had said, she understood a little. Just as she was about to exin, Wen Ya heard someone push the door open and enter the room. His voice was calm with a trace ofziness, Mistress, youre injured badly! Tsk Tsk Tsk, poor thing! Yuan Zhe spoke insincerely and a brief smirk curled up from the corners of his lips. He did not seem to feel sorry at all about his barbarian-like behavior and continued to behave carefreely instead. Mu Chenyan was burning with anger on the inside. Considering their past grudges, this man was worse than a beast in her eyes! Yuan Zhe, dont you have any feelings at all? Wen Ya is your wife. Arent you ashamed of yourself for treating her like this? Mu Chenyan recalled that the ancestors of the Yuan Family were all loving couples, why did an exception like Yuan Zhe have to appear in the bloodline? She tried her best to maintain herposure, but it was proving to be very difficult! The words that Mu Chenyan said naturally sounded a little fierce. She stared at Yuan Zhes handsome face, he looked like an eyesore to her. At that moment, Mu Chenyan actually regretted that she did not give that bastard a few more additional hits thest time they fought. Yuan Zhe saw the burning anger in Mu Chenyans eyes and thought to himself, This woman looks quite hot when shes mad. It must be amazing to be able to sleep with such a lively and pretty woman... The grass was always greener on the other side. The smile on Yuan Zhes face deepened. His gaze was dark and misty. Mu Chenyan, this seems to be none of your business! However, youre wee to see how I treat a disobedient woman! You can use this as a referenceter on. One day, youre bound to be treated this way as a daughter inw of the Yuan Family! Yuan Zhe was hinting at Mu Chenyan that deep down Yuan Xuan was the same as him! Wen Ya heard what Yuan Zhe had said and closed her eyes in detest. She did not want to look at her husband for even a minute. He was the devil in disguise who had pushed her into the abyss and he actually thought that other people were the same as him. How shameless! Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Zhe coldly and said in an irritated tone, Do you think that everyone is the same as you? Even though both of you are grandsons of the Yuan Family, Yuan Xuan is not the same as you! Yuan Zheughed coldly. Hey, look at you. How confident! Indeed, Yuan Xuan has always been better at sweet-talking women! He looked at Mu Chenyan and whispered into her ears, He destroyed your family and put you into prison. Then, he slept with you a few times after you were released. Despite all the things that he did, youre still defending him. It seems like all women are sluts! After he finished talking, Yuan Zhe ignored the flushed look on Mu Chenyans face and turned to face Wen Ya. Just like Wen Ya. She threw herself to me again because she likes to be ravaged by a man. I was annoyed, so I pushed her a little. Who wouldve thought that she would fall so hard! Pow! Before Yuan Zhe could finish talking, Mu Chenyan pped him! Her whole body was trembling with anger! ording to their rtionship, Mu Chenyan did not have any reason at all to hit Yuan Zhe. Nheless, the head-strong Mu Chenyan felt that he deserved it. Even if it was not for the time when she was almost raped, Yuan Zhe certainly deserved it for treating Wen Ya like this. After Yuan Zhe had raped Wen Ya, he would force her to remain bare until her entire body was shivering. He would only let go of her after he had humiliated herpletely and broke her spirit. Wen Ya was furious, so she went up to him and as a result, she was pushed down the stairs. This time, instead of repenting, Yuan Zhe had put the me on her. He said such cruel words without any concern at all for their marriage! How can you say such vulgar words? Mu Chenyan scolded him. She looked towards Wen Ya. Wen Ya seemed embarrassed and shocked. Wen Ya was used to Yuan Zhes shamelessness. She wanted to retaliate, but she was too weak and was always at a disadvantage. As time went by, Wen Ya had learned to endure his insults. Today, Wen Ya had seen Yuan Zhe get pped by Mu Chenyan and she felt an indescribable satisfaction in her heart. Yuan Zhe was agitated and he became enraged from the embarrassment. He was filled with anger as he screamed, You bitch, just because Yuan Xuan spoils you, do you think that all the men should do the same? Lao Zi didnt get to f*ck you that day and you... As he spoke, Yuan Zhe reached his hands out to grab Mu Chenyan. Tian Qi who was watching on by the side quickly caught Yuan Zhes hand in defense. Tian Qi was in the special forces and he was once an elite who had undergone strict training. He was Shao Yibais favorite disciple back then. Other than having a low emotional quotient and behaving a little slow when interacting with people, Tian Qi also had very agile reactions during battles. How could he let someone hurt Yuan Zhes Mistress under his protection? Was it a joke! How dare he think that Tian Qi was really a piece of log!! Ouch! Yuan Zhe twisted his arms and shouted in pain, F*ck, how dare you touch Lao Zi. Let... let go of me! Do you know that Im the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family...?! Yuan Zhe was starting to doubt the subordinates that Yuan Xuan trained. Yan Jun was a slick and sly person who followed Yuan Xuan around like a loyal dog. Whereas Kang Yu was a person who always had a fake smile on him. He apanied Yuan Xuan to all kinds of business events to mingle around and to contribute critical suggestions. Sometimes, he would even take charge and achieve great sess. Moreover, his thickheaded bodyguard was immune to both soft and hard tactics. Whenever Yuan Zhe saw him in the mansion, he would never say a word to him, let alone attempt to read other peoples thoughts based on the look on their faces. Tian Qi behaved ruthlessly regardless of the consequences. Hence, he was born to be a killer. Lastly, Mu Chenyan might seem like a weak and gentle woman, but she had gone rogue after the incident. She had many wicked ideas and calctive thoughts. She was able to maintain herposure despite knowing so much. The saying a womans heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea [TN: a Chinese idiom to describe how unpredictable and unexinable women can be] might be describing her! Yuan Zhes arm was being twisted and his usual charming demeanor had disappeared. He nted his body due to Tian Qis restraint and moaned in pain! Mu Chenyan did not give Tian Qi amand to release his grip. She ignored Yuan Zhes screams and Tian Qi maintained the force of his grip without even changing the expression on his face. Tian Qi was indeed thickheaded! In the Yuan Family, he was an exceptional being. Even though he had been hired by the Yuan Family, Tian Qi was very different from the other maids and bodyguards. He would only listen to themand of Yuan Xuan. Thus, in Tian Qis mind, Yuan Xuan was the only Master of the Yuan Family. The other Young Masters and Mistresses were all nobodies in his eyes. Yuan Zhe was no exception. Tian Qi had a cold look on his face and did not say a word, as though he was a reaper. Wen Ya who was lying on the bed was pleased by just watching on. She bit her lips while she watched Yuan Zhes face turn green. Suddenly, she felt as though her fracture was not hurting anymore... Mu Chenyan had only hit Yuan Zhe out of impulse. She did not think that Tian Qi would teach him a lesson. After all, Yuan Zhe was still the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family. If Tian Qi were to cripple him, even Yuan Xuan would not be able to defend him. Let go of him, Tian Qi. You can wait for me outside. Mu Chenyan gave Tian Qi an order and he grunted before loosening his grip. The young man gave Yuan Zhe a warning gaze seemingly to say if you dare make a move on the Mistress, I wille in and ruin you! Yuan Zhe was hurting so much that he was drenched in cold sweat. He swung his arms and distanced himself from Tian Qi. How embarrassing! As the Eldest Young Master, he had been hit by a bodyguard! In Yuan Zhes heart, he absolutely hated Mu Chenyan. His gaze was ice cold and he clenched his teeth. Tian Qi slowly walked out of the room and then there were three of them left in the room. Mu Chenyan felt that the three of them already knew about Yuan Zhes previous crimes, so there was no need to beat around the bush. Yuan Zhe, youre the one who is filthy. Dont expect everyone else to be the same as you! Wen Ya is such a good woman. She must have been blinded for her to still be with you! If you dont know how to treat her right, at least respect her! Yuan Zhes hand was hurting yet he was still being lectured by Mu Chenyan simultaneously. He secretly scoffed in his heart. Does Lao Zi need your lecture? Just wait and see! Mu Chenyan had a cold attitude. She red at Yuan Zhe, before turning around and saying to Wen Ya, Wen Ya, Ill be leaving first. You can call me if you need anything. If its something that the others cannot decide, well go to the Old Mistress. If the Old Mistress is being biased, at the very least still a reporter. Ill write an article and publish it. Ill let everyone know how the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family hit his wife! Mu Chenyans words had a deterrent effect! Yuan Zhe and Yuan Tangzhong were in the political industry, so they were extremely afraid of this negative publicity... Chapter 263 - Mu Chenwu, Your Lovely Little Sister Hit Me

Chapter 263: Mu Chenwu, Your Lovely Little Sister Hit Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan walked out of the ward and saw Tian Qi around the corner waiting like a loyal hound. He seemed highly cautious as he raised his ears to listen to what was happening inside the ward. Seeing Mu Chenyan walk out of the room, Tian Qi was clearly relieved. Tian Qi, I want to visit my mother. Youreing with me, right? Yes! Tian Qi answered. Even if Mu Chenyan did not allow him to, he would still follow along. Sir said that I must not let Mistress out of my sight! Mu Chenyan nodded and Tian Qi continued after a short pause, Dont tell Sir that I left just now... Mu Chenyan could not help butugh when she heard that. Even though Tian Qi was wooden-headed, he was stupidly adorable. He was indeed one-track-minded. If I were to go to the toilet, are you going to follow me in as well? Mu Chenyan thought of an idea to tease him. When Tian Qi heard this, his face turned red instantly. Haha, Im just ying with you. Dont worry, I wont tell Sir, Mu Chenyan promised. Tian Qi nodded his head earnestly. Recovering in-patient ward. The corridor was quiet and Yan Meis vital signs indicated that her body was in a good state under the care of the nurses in the recovering ward. Even so, Mu Chenyan still came very often as she hoped that miracle will happen one day. Yan Meis ward had always been guarded. Now that something had happened in Zong He, Yuan Xuan became even more cautious. Oddly enough, the two guards who normally patrolled around the ward were nowhere to be seen today. There were only a few nurses and care workers hustling around the corridor. Mu Chenyan took a turn around the corner and looked towards her mothers ward. A familiar figure caused her heart to shudder. Zhao Ruoxin? What are you doing here? Zhao Ruoxin was wearing a pale yellow dress and a white cardigan. She quietly stood outside Yan Meis ward and looked at the unconscious woman through the window. Upon hearing Mu Chenyans voice, Zhao Ruoxin turned her head and looked at Mu Chenyan in the eyes. The corners of the womans lips curled up, but she had a cold look on her face. Mu Chenyans heart was about to leap out of her chest! She quickly walked over and used her body to cover the ward door. She was trembling slightly and there was less than a meter between each of them. Mu Chenyan noted how Zhao Ruoxin did not answer her, so she continued to question, Why did youe here? Dont even think about hurting my mother! Zhao Ruoxin pursed her lips together as she enjoyed watching Mu Chenyan getting all flustered. She had achieved her goal already! When Mu Chenyan saw the look on Zhao Ruoxins face, she knew that she had lost her sense of proportion. Mu Chenyan was never the kind of woman who was unreasonable. However, after the incident with Zhao Yanni, she did not think that Zhao Ruoxin would care about Yan Meis recovery out of good will. Especially when Mu Chenyan saw the hatred in Zhao Ruoxins eyes as she stood in front of her. It was a hatred so deep that it couldpare to the hatred of those who were arch enemies. Mu Chenyan, even you have something that youre afraid of, right? Zhao Ruoxin grinned sheepishly as though they were old friends. She tapped on Mu Chenyans shoulder and the strength that she used caused Mu Chenyan to lose her bnce. I want to talk to you! Since youre waiting here, you should have something to say to me, right? Mu Chenyan said. Zhao Ruoxinughed coldly and reached her hand out to fix her huge ck curls. Mu Chenyan, youre very smart indeed! What about him? As Zhao Ruoxin spoke, she looked at the loyal hound behind Mu Chenyan. As figured, Tian Qi did not see Zhao Ruoxin as a threat. He straightened his body and waited for Mu Chenyansmand with an expressionless look on his face. Tian Qi will not interrupt us, he is just following along, Mu Chenyan said and took the lead. This issue was between two women and it was none of Yuan Xuans business. Mu Chenyan was sure that as long as she allowed Tian Qi to follow along, Yuan Xuan would not appear any time soon. ... After Mu Chenyan left, Yuan Zhe snarled furiously. Wen Ya was used to him acting like this. She was his punching bag whenever he faced difficulties. Wen Ya detested him in every way possible but she did not say a word. She believed in karma and he would need to pay for his sins one day! Yuan Zhe left the hospital in a hurry and dialed a number on his phone along the way. After a round of beeping, the man who answered the phone on the other end of the line sounded utterly bored. Mr. Yuan, youll kill me by calling me so carelessly. Your cousin is not an ordinary person, he will find me very soon. Mu Chenwu, your lovely little sister hit me! Ill be counting it on you! Yuan Zhe was fuming with rage once again. Mu Chenwus voice was cold and there were a few hints of murderous intent, I told you not to make a move on Mu Chenyan. Dont forget that we sponsored half of the funds for you to start over again. It is part of the bargain that I get to sleep with that woman after everything is done! Yuan Zhe gnashed his teeth together as he spoke and spat on the ground. After all, I funded the Mu Family and you guys return my kindness with ingratitude? On the other end of the phone line, Mu Chenwuughed. Stop patronizing yourself! Mr. Yuan, if I remember correctly, we are working together. Mu Chenwu then paused for a moment. It seemed like he was giving Yuan Zhe some time to think about it. You guys dont even think abouting clean from the old Xi Fan case. You guys cant escape the me if they were to take revenge. Besides, you gave me money to expand my influences because you cant bring Yuan Xuan down yourself. Youre just using an outsider like me to achieve your goal. Why are you patronizing yourself? Yuan Zhe grunted. Mu Chenwu, dont forget that if we didnt help you, do you think that you could have fooled Yuan Xuan with Mu Fengs fake death? I found the veteran who had a simr build and looks as Mu Feng. Besides, I even contacted his stic surgeon for you guys! Mu Chenwu heard this and clenched his teeth angrily. Then, he said in a low voice, Yuan Zhe, dont talk about this so casually. Listen, you must never let Mu Chenyan know about this. I will still need her helpter on. ... Coffee Lounge. Mu Chenyan and Zhao Ruoxin picked a secluded corner. Mu Chenyan ordered a cup oftte and Zhao Ruoxin order a cup of noni juice. When the coffee arrived, the air was filled with its fresh aroma. However, Zhao Ruoxin frowned. How is it suitable for a girl to drink something so bitter? Mu Chenyan smiled. Miss Zhao, Ive heard a deceased friend said something simr before! Mu Chenyan stared at Zhao Ruoxins fair little face and continued calmly, Do you want to know who is the deceased friend? Zhao Ruoxins cold eyes did not waver slightly. This woman was indeed very calm. She frowned slightly and said jokingly, Someone with the same taste as me? Yes! Back when I was in the UK, I met Qinger a few times. She never drank something as bitter as coffee! Miss Zhao, a wise person does not beat around the bush. I was struggling on the way here, should I call you Zhao Ruoxin or Shu Qinger? Mu Chenyan was straight to the point! Zhao Ruoxin had purposely appeared at her mothers ward when she went to visit Wen Ya. She wanted to instill fear and force her to hand over secret information. Shu Qinger heard that and grinned coldly. A hint of hatred shed through her eyes but she was not surprised. My mother told you after all! Mu Chenyan did not try to hide it any longer. Ive been to City C! Shu Qinger grunted and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corners of her lips. I know that you went to City C, so I secretly reported it to Xia Tao. How was his huge gift that he gave you guys? I shouldve known that it was you! You must have yed a part in causing the ident in City C. Qinger, I didnt think that you would be so vicious! Mu Chenyan seemed to be restraining her attitude. She only used her furious gaze to warn Shu Qinger. If it was not for Su Qingcheng, would she be able to sit here now and drink coffee? Shu Qinger would definitely not let her return to Luo Hai! Vicious? Hahaha... Shu Qingerughed hysterically and her beautiful little face was suddenly filled with hatred! You call this vicious? Unfortunately, that idiot, Xia Tao did not manage toplete his task and he ended up losing his life in the process. Mu Chenyan frowned, she was a little surprised. Xia Tao has died? Upon returning from City C, she did not know what had happenedter on. Even Yuan Xuan did not know that Director Xia was involved in this attempted kidnapping case. So to speak, Bureau Chief Liu yed a major role in this. Hemitted suicide and died without leaving any trouble behind. He took all the secrets along with him and Im very satisfied with this result! Shu Qinger chuckled. If Liang Zihan did not run fast enough, I think that little bitch would not be alive! Chapter 264 - A Socialite Was Not Supposed to Behave Like That

Chapter 264: A Socialite Was Not Supposed to Behave Like That

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shu Qinger chuckled. If Liang Zihan did not run fast enough, I think that little bitch would not be alive! Mu Chenyan felt a chill down her spine when she heard that Shu Qinger had nned to kill Liang Zihan. Liang Zihan took the money and escaped in the middle of the night. He should consider himself lucky and it seemed as though her worries from before were not all for nothing. In City C, only people with power like Xia Tao were considered a true God. Otherwise, Liang Zihan would also lose his life and that sick child would also have died. Ultimately, another two lives might have been sacrificed... While Mu Chenyan was worried about Liang Zihan, she resented Qinger even more in her heart! She was the mastermind behind everything! Mu Chenyan did not know Liang Zihan initially as she was Zhao Ruoxins old friend. Just because she justified Ruoxins past, Qinger wanted to kill her! Qinger, youve changed too much! Mu Chenyan could no longer see the woman in front of her as the same woman that she saw in the UK a few years ago. She was no longer the gentle and weak woman who had a dimply smile. Qinger was an art student and had received many great artists guidance. Moreover, after being under the influence of the Yuan Family for many years, she had a socialite temperament and aura around her. She was gentle, sweet, and beautiful. Not to mention, she dealt with people in a sensible and clever manner. Thus, the people who knew Yuan Xuan treated Qinger as his childhood friend whenever she visited the UK. Whereas Mu Chenyan was not only younger but also yful. She was known for being a talented girl on the campus. Although she was also liked by everyone, most people felt that Shu Qinger was the type of girl that Yuan Xuan liked. But now, Qingers eyes were filled with plots and schemes even when she smiled lightly. She spoke about other peoples life and death so casually as though it was none of her business. Mu Chenyan, dont you think that you have something to do with me changing? Me? I didnt ask you to set a fire and kill people... Mu Chenyan was caught off guard by her sudden usation. Shu Qinger smiled lightly and reached into her bag to grab an exquisite lighter. It was obvious that the owner took good care of the lighter based on the blue crystal case and the smoothened cover. Qinger took a cigarette out and nced at Mu Chenyan. You dont mind, right? Mu Chenyan shook her head. Go ahead! Shu Qinger was very experienced. She held the cigarette in between her slender fingers and lit it up with the lighter. She looked extraordinarily beautiful when she squinted her eyes while she took a puff. Youre right! You didnt make me set a fire or kill people, but you forced me into a dead-end. You yed a part in all the hardships that Ive faced! Shu Qinger looked at Mu Chenyan with a cold look in her eyes. Mu Chenyan did not understand what Qinger meant. She pursed her lips together and remained silent. All she did was look Qinger in her eyes. Did you think that I was very obedient and clever in the past? Thats why you felt like Ive changed! As Shu Qinger spoke, she smiled a little sarcastically. Mu Chenyan did not admit to it but the Shu Qinger in the past did give off such an impression! Thats because Yuan Xuan liked it! He liked obedient girls, so I changed because of him, Shu Qinger continued with a smile. When I was in Italy, I was different from what you both have seen. Of course, it was also different from the state that Im in right now! I smoked heavily and drank the strongest alcohol. I went to clubs and took drugs at parties. There was nothing that I didnt like. I had nothing to do with the gracefulness between the socialites. Shu Qinger did not seem to hide anything from Mu Chenyan. She even grinned casually as she spoke. Of course, when you guys saw me in the UK, I behaved the way that Yuan Xuan liked. If you were to say that Ive changed, Ive actually learned to value myself better now! Mu Chenyan was surprised. Arent you afraid that Ill tell Yuan Xuan? In fact, Mu Chenyan felt that there was nothing wrong with being bold. After all, she was not someone who was easy to deal with too. She was very impulsive during her university years and she had always spoken about her admiration towards Yuan Xuan. She had even secretly tattooed a tiny Yuan on her lower belly... Later on, before the wedding, she was worried that Yuan Xuan might find out about it, so she removed it with some chemicals. Her roommate teased her by asking whether she should get Yuan Xuans underwear for some obscene activities. Mu Chenyan felt that it was a good suggestion, so she actually went to Yuan Xuan to ask for a pair. Yuan Xuan was fuming with anger when he heard that... A socialite was not supposed to behave like that! Mu Chenyan had even gone through all the trouble to travel to the middle east war zone secretly just to take a few pictures. Moreover, she lived in the all-male peacekeeping forces camp. She drank the strongest alcohol and jumped into a huge wooden bucket to take a shower. However, her experiences were different from those of Qingers. Mu Chenyan never pretended to be someone else and was always true to herself. Everyone knew that she was like that and they did not expect Yuan Xuan to marry Mu Chenyan in the end. Qinger heard Mu Chenyans words and sheughed out loud. Tears were rolling down from the corners of her eyes and her voice sounded a littleid-back. Afraid of you telling him what? Telling him that Im Shu Qinger? Or afraid that youll tell him that Im a very bold person? Shu Qinger leaned forward closer to Mu Chenyan. She deliberately said very mysteriously, If you were to tell him, why didnt you say anything when you returned from City C? Moreover, you wouldve said it immediately when something happened to Zhao Yanni. There must be a reason why you didnt say it, right? Mu Chenyan was stunned. She swept the tip of her fingers across her ears and fixed her hair. Then, she said with a few hints of coldness in her almond-shaped eyes, Youre right, I do have my reasons! As Mu Chenyan spoke, she looked at Tian Qi who was sitting not too far away. He had already drunk three cups of coffee and two cups of milk tea. He was using his straw to pull the coconut and pearl bubbles at the bottom of the milk tea cup out of boredom... Are you afraid that if Yuan Xuan finds out that Qinger is still alive, he would get back together with me because he still loves me? said Shu Qinger casually, but she could not hide the feeling of superiority inside her heart. Youre quite smart! During Mu Chenyans 17th birthday, she had confessed to Yuan Xuan and Shu Qinger went to look for her on the next day. She had the same rightfully hers look on her face now. Mu Chenyan averted her gaze and the tips of her fingers trembled slightly. As time went by, was she not changing too? Even the confident and persistent Mu Chenyan who was not afraid of anything had ended up like this! Shu Qinger could tell that she was right on Mu Chenyans worries, so she was a little cocky. Your worries are not for no reasons! If I returned as Qinger, you should know that Yuan Xuan owes me a favor. Who knows what the future holds if I ask him to leave you! Her unting was unbearable! Previously, Mu Chenyan had felt a little sympathy for Qinger. Besides, Zhao Yanni also entrusted Qinger to her. Therefore, she had some reservations when she talked to her. Nheless, she could no longer restrain herself and she wanted to retaliate at this moment. Especially when Qinger behaved with such superiority. Even if Mu Chenyan had the intention to bear with her, she could not fight her natural instincts. To begin with, she was never an easy target. Who gave Qinger the courage to behave like that? Mu Chenyan smiled lightly and looked Qinger right in the eyes. She said, Then why did you lose your mind when he married me and got admitted to Zong He? If you can really handle Yuan Xuan, why not just ask him not to marry me? Her words were like a direct hit onto Shu Qingers sore spot. Shu Qinger was trembling with rage. In order to hide the uneasiness in her heart, she took another cigarette out from her bag. Unfortunately, the lighter was not working so she threw the lighter with the blue crystal case onto the floor furiously. She made a scene and everyone was looking at them now. Shu Qinger could not let go of the fact that Yuan Xuan had married Mu Chenyan in the past. Otherwise, she would not have acted like she had lost her mind and entered Zong He to force Yuan Xuan to give up on the marriage... Chapter 265 - All was Well As Long As Yuan Xuan Was Present

Chapter 265: All was Well As Long As Yuan Xuan Was Present

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shu Qinger could not let go of the fact that Yuan Xuan had married Mu Chenyan in the past. Otherwise, she would not have acted like she had lost her mind and entered Zong He to force Yuan Xuan to give up on the marriage... However, she had underestimated Yuan Xuans will to marry Mu Chenyan. Even under such a situation, Yuan Xuan was determined to marry Mu Chenyan. Thus, she escaped from Zong He to frighten Yuan Xuan out of anger. At the time, Shu Qinger had no choice but to take refuge in City C because she had no money. However, who would have thought that her beast of a stepfather would rape her... In order to keep her for his amusement, that bastard lied to Zhao Yanni. He injected tranquilizers into her and said that she was mentally deranged. Therefore, Ruoxin reced her and returned to Luo Hai. Moreover, Qinger wanted to make use of that disgusting man, Xia Tao to bring her father down, so she slept with him for almost two years. During that period of time, the only news that made her feel a little happier was that Yuan Xuan had not helped Mu Chenyan when she was being taken away as a murderer after Zhao Ruoxin died. Mu Chenyan went to jail and Shu Qinger thought in her heart, perhaps she was the one who Yuan Xuan truly loved! After her stepfather passed away, Shu Qinger could not return to Luo Hai because she was not able to exin her disappearance. Why did someone who hade back from the dead not return to Luo Hai during those two years? Even though the things that Shu Qinger experienced in City C was being kept a secret and she was using Zhao Ruoxins identity, she wanted to show Yuan Xuan a clean Ruoxin. She was afraid that Yuan Xuan knew about her being used by those two old men! Later on, she received help from Mr. Shadow and freed herself from Xia Taos control. She used a brand new identity and lived in the Yuan Family. Nheless, she saw Mu Chenyan take the status of Mrs. Yuan. Besides, everything did not go the way she nned. Yuan Xuan was supposed to develop feelings for her, Shu Qingers twin sister who looked exactly the same as her. It was obvious that Qinger was not satisfied after the trip to Liu Li Vi. She had tried to test Yuan Xuan over and over again, but he protected Mu Chenyan very well, far greater than she had expected him to! When Shu Qinger thought about the past, she felt as though her heart was copsing. From the way she saw it, all the hardships that she has gone through were all because of Mu Chenyan! If it was not for Mu Chenyan, the title Mrs. Yuan would definitely be hers, considering the fact that she was Yuan Xuans childhood friend and they grew up together! Mu Chenyan, what is there for you to be cocky about? Dont you know the reason why Yuan Xuan married you? Youve probably only heard half of the things that Mu Chenwu told you in the cemetery, right? Otherwise, how shameful can you be for sleeping with Yuan Xuan after knowing that he killed your father? Shu Qinger was burning with rage, so she spoke rashly. When Mu Chenyan heard the words that Shu Qinger said under the influence of anger, she slowly was able to verify some spections that she had before. Even youre contacting my brother? Mu Chenyan had a stern look in her eyes as she asked Shu Qinger briefly, and the look on her face had changed drastically. She realized that she made a slipup and she seemed extremely rattled. I... Why would I contact him? Shu Qingers expression had sold her out. She could not deny the fact that the man, Mr. Shadow who had brought her out of City C was indeed Mu Chenwu... Mu Chenwu had pictures of her in bed with Xia Tao in City C, so she was willing to be under his control... Mu Chenyan felt that her brother, Mu Chenwu had deliberately arranged their meeting in the cemetery. Previously, it seemed like Yuan Zhe knew that Mu Chenwu had returned based on his sarcastic remarks during the family dinner. And now, Shu Qinger also seemed to know about the content of the conversation between Mu Chenwu and her in the cemetery. Did her brother not tell her that he was being forced to leave the city? How did he return to Luo Hai? Why did he get along with people who had no relevance like Yuan Zhe and Shu Qinger? Why did he not inform her beforehand that he was with them? You dont have to find any more excuses. Ill find out the entire truth! Mu Chenyan said in a very serious tone. Shu Qinger knew that she would definitely eventually find out about it now that she had gotten serious, so she was starting to feel uneasy. If youre going to investigate this, it means that you dont believe in your brother. It has nothing to do with me! Mu Chenwu is my brother. Its not that I dont believe in what he said, but I should think it through thoroughly before making any decisions. The old Xi Fan case was something that happened ten years ago and Mu Chenwu was rather young at that time. Therefore, I chose to believe that my mother knows better about this case! Since Shu Qinger knew about Mu Chenwu and her meeting at the cemetery, she felt that there was no need to beat around the bushes, regardless of whether she knew about even more secret information. In fact, Shu Qinger only knew a little about the content of Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyans conversation. How could Mu Chenwu tell her about the details of something as huge as the old Xi Fan case? It turned out that the reason why Mu Chenyan did not make a move was that she saw improvement in Yan Meis treatment, so she was waiting for Yan Meis ultimate answer! Mu Chenyan, youre a really calctive person! Shu Qingers smile was extremely sarcastic. People always say that a familys bond is the easiest to be made use of, but youre actually having doubts about the things that your brother said? I do believe in my brother, its just that he is surrounded by too many bad influences! Mu Chenyan recalled that Feng Rao was the one who had delivered the letter to her, and even someone like Yuan Zhe knew about it. Thus, there were indeed too many doubtful points! Shu Qinger sneered bitterly. If the saying about how its difficult to see through peoples thoughts were true, Mu Chenyan, it must be describing you, right? Despite how smart I am, theres something that I cant figure out. Mu Chenyans tone was extremely calm and it was nothing like the way she had acted just a moment ago. Shu Qinger scoffed. Even you have something that you cant figure out? Since youve returned to Luo Hai, why dont you dare admit that youre Shu Qinger? After all, this identity has a higher position in the Yuan Family aspared to Zhao Ruoxin! This was Mu Chenyans doubt. Shu Qinger smiled coldly. Youre overthinking it. Since theres so much that you want to know, why dont you ask Yuan Xuan personally? How did this have anything to do with Yuan Xuan? If what Shu Qinger said was indeed true and Yuan Xuan really did owe her an important favor, what was so difficult about her admitting that she was Shu Qinger? If she were to admit it and make use of Yuan Xuans previous feelings towards her, was it not easier for her to get closer to Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyan was puzzled and she suddenly heard Tian Qi shout from a distance, Sir, over here! A trace of sunlight entered through the door. Yuan Xuan was wearing a white shirt and a ck trouser. He casually rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. They could tell that he had rushed over and was not able to tidy up his clothing. Nevertheless, it did not affect his handsome looks at all. Yuan Xuans tall figure attracted countless attention the moment he stepped into the coffee shop. Yuan Xuans gaze fell on the two women who were sitting at the corner and he strode towards them. Mu Chenyan would only reveal the uncontroble restless side of her in front of Yuan Xuan. She did not know why but she felt as though she was doing something behind Yuan Xuans back when she saw him appear. The feeling of being caught red-handed was ruining her mood slightly. It was just like the time when she had almost got into trouble in City C. Yuan Xuan had the exact same look now aspared to the time when he got down from the ne. Why didnt you both invite me over for coffee? As Yuan Xuan spoke, he nced at Mu Chenyan and leaned his body over. He put his arms around her shoulder and the two women instantly forgot about everything, even though they were struggling and arguing because of conspiracies just a moment ago. All was well as long as Yuan Xuan was present. Tian Qicked sensibility, so he muffled, Sir, its good that youve arrived. Mistress and Miss Zhao were arguing intensely just now. They even threw a lighter onto the ground, so I was thinking whether to hit Miss Zhao if I were to make a move? Mu Chenyan was speechless. Shu Qinger was speechless. Chapter 266 - There Will Only Be One Mrs Yuan

Chapter 266: There Will Only Be One Mrs Yuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan sent a text message to Tian QiDid Missus return to the Hibiscus Garden? Tian Qi answered honestly, Not yet. Missus and Miss Zhao went to the cafe, maybe colluding on something important... Even Tian Qi with ack of literary knowledge had used the word colluding! Looks like the incident was not a simple one! Yuan Xuan initially wanted to allow Mu Chenyan to do what she wants, but if it warrants colluding, would it turn things topsy-turvy? With that in mind, Yuan Xuan took off from work an hour earlier to check out what the two women were doing! That blockheaded Tian Qi only knew how to fight... His silly words had put a faint smile on Yuan Xuans face. Both the faces of Mu Chenyan and Shu Qinger changed. This was especially apparent in Shu Qinger. When she thought about fighting with Mu Chenyan, she knew the dim-witted bodyguard would definitely put her in her ce... The twodies looked at each other and thought, What red-faced? I was just here to chat with Ruoxin. Why are you so interested in girls talk? You even came all the way to spoil our fun! Mu Chenyan muttered softly, seemingly ming him, but also partially seeking affection. Yuan Xuan did not speak, he only increased the strength he was exerting through his shoulder. He pulled her closer with a hint of overbearingness in his eyes. Cant Ie over to have a look? Seeing how Yuan Xuan was hugging Mu Chenyan, Qingers fingers on the tabletop clutched a little tighter. She could see Yuan Xuans possessiveness in its entirety. Mu Chenyan struggled a little, but she could not break free of his dictatorial aura. She had just drunk a cup of coffee. If he continued with the same strength, would the coffee in her stomach spout out like a fountain? Keep moving, see if Ill do you right here and now? Yuan Xuan kept his voice low, whispering in Mu Chenyans ear with a volume only the both of them could hear. His warm breath tickled mysteriously against her ear. He would not have sex with her immediately, but his words of threat still made her blush! Mu Chenyans face was red, and she had decided not to struggle anymore. She sat there obediently, but her hands were soon covered in sweat. Seeing Yuan Xuans obsessive gaze on Mu Chenyan, Shu Qinger could not help but feel a fit of jealousy that urged her to swallow her rival up! Brother Xuan... mumbled Qinger, a swirl of tears filling up her eyes in denial. Ever since Yuan Xuan had entered, she had stashed her fierce side aside and only had her soft and obedient look on. It was said that love makes people crazy, this Qinger was an icon of that. Her love for Yuan Xuan had led to her behavioral change, including bing tolerant of another! Mu Chenyan managed to witness Shu Qingers change from a vicious poisoner into a poor girl-next-door all within the matter of seconds... What can we talk about, its all gossips within the family! Chenyan, tell me about your time in the UK... At that point, Shu Qinger paused deliberately as she waited for Yuan Xuans reaction. Mu Chenyans time in the UK? That was a story shared with Qinger! The curve in Yuan Xuans mouth was cold and calctive, his beautiful eyes were zed with a chilly glint as if he was waiting for Zhao Ruoxin to confess everything! For a moment, Mu Chenyan wondered if she was too naive. Maybe Yuan Xuan had already found out for quite a while? Ruoxin, youre interested in the things that happened in the UK as well? He asked lightly, gracefully, nobly, as if he was not moved at all by the revtion of her intention. That was the face he puts on for anyone else. Only Mu Chenyan had seen Yuan Xuan cuddling with Little Ginger Fur Ball as he tried to feed it cat food... Thats right, Im very interested in Brother Xuans story with Qinger! Shu Qinger could not control her feeling of being wronged, her tears were on the verge of rolling over onto her face. She did not want the truth toe out at this time, in this manner. However, seeing Mu Chenyans interaction with Yuan Xuan, why was this her ending after persevering for so many years? Brother Xuan, have you already forgotten about Qingerpletely? That was Qingers past! If you wanted to hear about it, Ruoxin, there were plenty of chances to do so at the mansion. Moreover, there was not much sense in knowing that past. You look identical to Qinger, but you were totally different individuals! Yuan Xuans words were so emotionless, it was almost an apathetic indifference. He was warning the woman that even though they look alike, Zhao Ruoxin would never be Shu Qinger! Shu Qinger was misty-eyed. Her fingers trembled against the table. Does that mean that you care about Qinger? I dont mean to rece the Qinger in your memory, but I need to know something. If I tell you that I am Qinger, how would you treat me? Mu Chenyan felt Yuan Xuans arm tightened around her! Shu Qinger spoke decisively, If I tell you that the woman who died three years ago was Zhao Ruoxin, and I am Shu Qinger, will you ept that your Qinger had been reborn? The three people had finallyid out all their cards on the table! In that moment, Yuan Xuans eyes were filled with gxies, deep and expansive. His expression was calm to the point of being nk. For a split second, Mu Chenyan did not know what would cause his emotion to flicker! If Qinger is still alive, Ill be happy! I trust that grandmother will feel the same! It was too calm. Whether he knew the stories behind or not, that reaction was too heartless, too frigid. Yuan Xuan, youve been poisoned by this woman, you even forgot your promise to me! Shu Qingers lips quivered, her tears sliding off her face uncontrobly. Mu Chenyan was startled. His promise to her? What promise could that be? Yuan Xuan was still behaving coolly, his words were slowed to an extreme. Qinger, I promised to take care of you for a lifetime, but I wasnt saying I am willing to be lovers with you. I have treated you like a sister, always, and forever! Saying that, he turned to look at Mu Chenyan, his cold demeanoryered with a hint of warmth. There will only be one Mrs Yuan! Mu Chenyan was surprised at how aloofly Yuan Xuan had epted Zhao Ruoxins identity change to Shu Qinger! When she had heard his emotional confession, her heart was frantic. She looked at Yuan Xuans profile and asked with a shaky voice, You knew, didnt you? Hearing her question, Yuan Xuan sighed at his womans adorable silliness! It doesnt matter if I knew. You, however, spent so much effort to reach this conclusion, you even went to City C to find out. And after you did, you tried so hard to hide it from me. Youre so deeply distrustful about me, shouldnt I have epted it silently? Did you think that I would pounce at her and hold her in my arms? Did you think that would be a normal reaction for me? Mu Chenyan was speechless. Mu Chenyan lowered her head and instantly felt that she was being petty... She did worry about it. If Yuan Xuan knew Shu Qinger was still alive, would his love for her be rekindled? Little Chenyan had made a mistakemon to womenspeaking with a forked tongue. She had intentionally kept her distance from Yuan Xuan, but at the same time, she could not help being attracted by him. Sometimes, she had had calctive moments like this. If you arent so... I... Hearing Yuan Xuan call her out, Mu Chenyan had nothing to say about that. Shu Qinger was extremelt defeated! She pointed at Mu Chenyan, shaking. Yuan Xuan, there was only her in your heart? Why was her not the one who saved you when you were in danger? If you didnt see that I was humiliated by those people, why are you giving me the cold shoulder? As she was saying that, Qinger started crying out of agitation. Mu Chenyan was confused by the turn of events. However, in seeing Yuan Xuans frigid face lined with guilt, she understood some things, causing her to shudder. Yuan Xuan released Mu Chenyan and reached out to take Qingers shivering hands tofort her. Nowhere in this move had any sense of romance. With a piercing look, he said, Qinger, I remembered that you saved me. If I was disgusted by you, why would I have promised to take care of you for life? I... want you... to marry me... Qinger did not relent, her tiny hands tugging at Yuan Xuansrger hands. Do you think that Im... dirty... Chapter 267 - My Promise Had Never Been a Romantic One

Chapter 267: My Promise Had Never Been a Romantic One

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Realizing Yuan Xuan was not speaking, Qingers emotion was a little out of control. She continued, I was afraid youll be disgusted with your Qinger because you couldnt forget those scenarios, so I pretended to be Zhao Ruoxin as soon as I returned from City C! At least, Ruoxin looks the same with Qinger, and in front of you, Zhao Ruoxin is clean... Shu Qinger began to tremble out of agitation, she did not n to expose herself like this so soon, but she could not help it when she saw how Yuan Xuan treated Mu Chenyan. She pointed at Mu Chenyan, her eyes crimson with hatred, as she growled, Why me? She should be the unlucky one, why is it that I was the one who saved you, but also the one you dislike? This is not fair... Mu Chenyan was perplexed. She looked at Yuan Xuan with an inquiring gaze and asked softly, Whats going on? Yuan Xuan hugged Mu Chenyan tightly and turned to see her pale face. Heforted her. Its nothing. I told you, you dont need to know some things! He was so protective of Mu Chenyan... Shu Qinger shot into a standing position after hearing that. She looked like she was going to tear Mu Chenyan to pieces, a dangerously ferocious grin hanging on her face. Brother Xuan, if Mu Chenyan doesnt exist in this world, will you love me? This woman shouldnt exist in the first ce... As soon as Yuan Xuan heard Qinger say those words, his softened gaze sharpened up again. He growled, Qinger, you saved me, and you dont disgust me! However, my promise had never been a romantic one. Mu Chenyan had nothing to do with it. If you dare to touch her... A sanguine savageness appeared on his face. Anyone would have endured the same! ... Returning to the Hibiscus Garden, the mans expression was calm without a shred of the cold rage he had earlier on. It was as if he was not the person who experienced the entire scenario from before. Mu Chenyan knew that if Yuan Xuan had decided to keep something a secret, not even her could pry his mouth open. However, there were some things that she could not help but feel like they were scratching at her without her knowing. After a long silence, Mu Chenyan considered her words. You knew Qinger was alive long before, didnt you? Mu Chenyan had the reason to believe that Yuan Xuan would not be in the dark for long, but thinking that her conversation with Qinger waspletely discreet was a naive thought! I didnt know for sure. Before this, I was just suspecting it! Yuan Xuan held the steering wheel with both his hands, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and his voice was slightly coarse. I was only sure when the Zong He Incident happened! Hearing Yuan Xuans exnation, Mu Chenyan was slightly surprised. Her damp eyes looked at Yuan Xuan with a silly adorableness that melted Yuan Xuans heart as he peered over with his peripheral vision. It was deep in the spring season. The road on which the car sped along toward the mansion was decorated with a vivacious green with dots of red mixed in. Yuan Xuan kept his voice slow andposed as he continued exining to Mu Chenyan. I knew Zhao Yanni was poisoned. After she was rescued, the medical report mentioned that hallucinogenicponents were detected in her body. I thought about it, if she took drugs like this or if she was forced to take it, it must be because she had to look like she was mentally unstable. She was admitted into Zong He, in which the incident happened soon after. The only target there could only be Ye Kun. At this point, Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyans lips moved, but before she could say anything, Yuan Xuan stopped her. You dont need to know about Ye Kun! Curiosity killed the cat! Mu Chenyan pouted in dissatisfaction. She tugged on the safety belt and whined. No wonder the others always said that everywhere within the Yuan Family Mansion is conspiracies. From what I can see, youre the biggest conspiracist of them all... Yuan Xuan was so triggered by that, heughed. However, he did not bother arguing with Mu Chenyan. By that point, Ive already suspected the one who brought Zhao Yanni to Luo Hai was not Zhao Ruoxin at all! Zhao Ruoxin did not have loving parents in her childhood. She was actually very dependent on Zhao Yanni. ording to Yan Juns investigation in City C, Zhao Ruoxin had always been good to Zhao Yanni even though she wasnt a good mother! Mu Chenyan recalled Zhao Yanni describing Zhao Ruoxin. After she arrived at Luo Hai and had be pregnant with a mysterious mans child, she started sending money to Zhao Yanni, she even dreamed on bringing her sister and mother over to stay with her! Evidently, the real Ruoxin was a woman weak in resolution, so she prioritized her mother-daughter rtionship much heavier than Qinger had done. Qinger and her mother had almost never stayed together, so there wasnt any camaraderie to speak of. During the Spring Festival, when she had brought Zhao Yanni to Yuan Family, Ive begun to suspect due to her attitude. Combining that with her willingness to be so cruel to Zhao Yanni, Ive already guessed that this woman is not Zhao Ruoxin! Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Xuans analysis was logical, so she nodded and asked, If you knew that shes involved in the Zong He Incident, does it mean that your protection of her was because youre not willing to let her go through it if she was Qinger? What was she talking about just now... Even though she did not have much hope in getting the answer, Mu Chenyan wanted to know! Yuan Xuans profile was angr and sharp, tiny beads of sweat began forming on the bridge of his nose. He did not look at Mu Chenyan, but his voice was gentle. What a stubborn personality! It was true that Yuan Xuan had been doting on her, but he had secrets he did not wish for her to find out. Even if she had made a ruckus, he would still keep his mouth shut. Mu Chenyan sighed, Yuan Xuan continued, I did cover up for Qinger in the Zong He Incident. However, even if I didnt, the police still wouldnt find anything to incriminate Qinger. The poison was ced by Zhao Yanni! With regards to Qingers identity, everything was just guesswork. We still need proofs, but the process of investigating her was not so smooth sailing. Someone erased parts of her history. Hearing Yuan Xuans exnation, Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that her admission into the hospital due to her craving for spicy food, and in turn meeting Liang Zihan, had all been a blessing in disguise... I tried to get the precise information about Qinger from Zhao Yanni, but she was being very wary about me. Yuan Xuan paused, a never-seen-before grin appearing across his handsome face. Therefore, I let you go there. Im not surprised that Zhao Yanni would be grasping at straws as she turned to you. After all, there werent many people she could depend on in Luo Hai. Thinking back to when Zhao Yanni had left mncholically, Mu Chenyan realized that had treated Mu Chenyan like a life-saving straw. Since she was going to sacrifice herself, she needed to find someone trustworthy to take care of Qinger and to take responsibility for everything that had happened in the Zong He Incident. Zhao Yanni had left you with her suicide note, it meant that she had already told you about Qingers real identity so she could take responsibility for everything. Even though you always do things behind my back, this time you helped me! At that, Yuan Xuans grin became wider. It was then that Mu Chenyan knew she was used by him, So you knew about everything, and you still managed to keep it under wraps, what a natural-born conspiracist! Yuan Xuanughed silently. Is this my wife praising me? Chapter 268 - I Want Your Wife to Accompany Me Tonight

Chapter 268: I Want Your Wife to Apany Me Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan returned to the Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu ran out and reported, Mistress, the yellow cat had been dispirited the whole day and didnt eat at all. You probably should go look at it! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan thought, Little Ginger Fur Ball, that fat cat, doesnt want to eat, it must be ill! She did not even change and went straight to the little garden on the third floor. As expected, Little Ginger Fur Ball did not mew at her nor approached her joyfully as usual. Instead, itid in its new bed lethargically, its ck eyes swirling with a watery gleam. Briquet, on the other hand, was different from its usual, calm self as it scampered toward Mu Chenyan impatiently. Meow meow... Briquet sounded upset. Its wife was sick, so it looked worried. There were toys pooling around Little Ginger Fur Ball, it must be Briquets attempt to cheer Little Ginger Fur Ball up, by bringing it toys. Briquet, dont worry, Ginger was just sick. Lemme look at it, it should be fine. Mu Chenyanforted Briquet and brushed its coal-ck fur. Meow meow... Briquet followed Mu Chenyan, hopping and skipping behind her. Mu Chenyan bent down and picked up Little Ginger Fur Ball. The yellow cat was mewing miserably at Mu Chenyan, its voice not as rich as before. On the fur near to the corner of its eyes was some sticky secretion. Mu Chenyan patted Little Ginger Fur Balls stomach. It was bloated and hard, so no wonder it could not eat. Yuan Xuan came in after changing. He took over Little Ginger Fur Ball, inspecting it and said, This glutton. Ah Fu said its eaten double the amount Briquet did for breakfast. It was already fat and clumsy, doesnt have as much exercise as Briquet, and it eats so much. It must be having indigestion. What do we do? Mu Chenyan was a little anxious. She had liked cats since young, more so since these two were gifted to her by Yuan Xuan! She thought in anxiety that among the whole of the Yuan Family Mansion, only the two cats were not the scheming type, especially Little Ginger Fur Ball. Its falling sick had scared Mu Chenyan dearly. Its night time. Not even pet shops are open, what do we do? Mu Chenyan thought, Pets cant go to the emergency ward. Or Ill take Little Ginger Fur Ball there right away. Yuan Xuanughed, there was a doctor at home, was there not? He turned around and yelled, Ah Fu, go to the Tranquility Mansion and call Fifth Miss! A half-hourter. The youngest, prettiest cardioneurologist of the military hospital, Yuan Tian, turned into Luo Hais number one socialite mistresss personal cat doctor. Yuan Tian massaged Little Ginger Fur Balls stomach as she fed it some medicine that aids digestion. Ginger stretchedfortably. Even Briquet was running around happily... All three of the Yuan Family had studied medicine and surgery, so their house was stocked with somemon medicine. Sometimes, when Old Mistress had headaches or bouts of fever, the family doctor, as well as Yuan Tian, would offer their expertise. However, in this day, she was forced into service for a cat. Aside from Third Young Master Yuan, who else was able to do such a thing? Mu Chenyan, you have been feeding this cat so much, were you trying to eat cat meat in the future? Seeing Ginger had sessfully grown into a ball, Yuan Tian poked its belly. Little Ginger Fur Ball protested weakly, afraid that Mu Chenyan might have taken it seriously and turned it into a cat stew... I cant control it, it kept eating and eating, and finally, it ate something bad... Seeing Little Ginger Fur Ballszy demeanor, Mu Chenyan felt guilty. Other people spoiled their children, and she spoiled her cat. She pampered Little Ginger Fur Ball too much, how would she be willing to eat cat meat? Yuan Xuan wore a set of soft, brown casual clothing and sat at the tea table. He crossed his legs and drank his tea gracefully. His eyes darted between the two cat-ying women, his lips slightly upturned. Just observe, itll be fine. Forced Labor Yuan looked up and saw her trust-fund-baby brother rxing and immediately became triggered. A beautiful, talented, charismatic cardioneurologist like her was only treated like a veterinarian by Third Young Master Yuan of the house... Yuan Tian was a little choked with silent fury. Her eyes rolled around a little and she said with a sweet voice, Third Brother, Im already used as a forced worker, can I have a little incentive? Spill! Yuan Xuans spoke softly, his handsome face carrying a hint of sloth. Youve only saved an overeating fat cat, what can you ask for? Yuan Tian pulled Mu Chenyan to her side and held her arm. She shed Yuan Xuan a smile and said, I want your wife to apany me tonight! Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. Yuan Xuan snorted. His attractive eyes on his dapper face glinted with coldness, expressing his dissatisfaction. The man looked at Mu Chenyan, his voice was maic. What about yours truly? I will spend my lonely night, sleepless in my own bed! Pfft... Yuan Tian picked up her cup and had just taken a sip before Yuan Xuans dramatic humor forced her to spit it out. Yuan Tians face was red as she smiled in mischievous thoughts. Her brother was not as unlikeable as she thought, he had this side of cheekiness! You can hug Briquet, I guess. What a coincidence, it doesnt have its wife by its side as well! Having said that, Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at Yuan Xuan and dumped Briquet into Yuan Xuans arms. Briquet, Meow... I agree, I want to sleep by daddy... Yuan Xuan was speechless. Yuan Tian was secretly happy. When they were young, Mu Chenyan and her used to y together. Two adolescent girls sleeping in one bed, having their girls talk. Yuan Xuan who was dumped for the night took his long strides with Briquet in his arms as he went downstairs in silence. Mu Chenyan and a grinning Yuan Tian went to the guest room. After changing into pajamas, Yuan Tian rolled in the bed excitedly, exposing her fair belly. It had been a while since Mu Chenyan had such a rxing night. She procured two packets of yogurt drink and gave one to Yuan Tian. They spent some time in silence, drinking the yogurt drink. Two womenid in bed, one of which was enchanting and charming, the other pure and untainted, forming a scenery on its own. Yuan Tian, Zhao Ruoxin is actually Shu Qinger... After a while, Mu Chenyan said suddenly, her toneposed. Pfft... Yuan Tian spat her yogurt all over her own face embarrasingly. What... whos Qinger? Mu Chenyan passed Yuan Tian a piece of paper towel. Yuan Tian asked as she was wiping her face. Qinger hasnt passed away, the dead one is the real Zhao Ruoxin! After a long period of holding in the secret, Mu Chenyan had to confide in someone. However, the secret would soon be public knowledge. Shu Qingers identity would, sooner orter, be exposed. Whats wrong? Yuan Tian finished wiping her face, but she was still clueless about the news. Mu Chenyan recounted the whole story to Yuan Tian. However, she kept the parts where Qinger was vited in the UK and yed by her stepfather and Xia Tao hidden. After all, saying these stories would only make it more embarrassing for Qinger in the Yuan Family. Wait, Ye Kun? Yuan Tian was pensive. Her tiny face was flushed, like any normal youngdys. He must be the mysterious patient my dad hid! Chapter 269 - We Just Did It Yesterday…

Chapter 269: We Just Did It Yesterday...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wait, Ye Kun? Yuan Tian was pensive. Her tiny face was flushed, like any normal youngdys. He must be the mysterious patient my dad hid! Mu Chenyan nodded. When Zong He was in trouble, the first person Yuan Xuan said has to be protected was Ye Kun. Hes probably the one who got sent to Third Uncles military hospital! Dad was being so secretive about it, he even had several close subordinates take care of him specifically. He has an entire in-patient ward to himself, and Third Brother even sent someone to guard the ce! At the thought that there were ces in the military hospital that she could not enter, Yuan Tian was not happy. Yuan Tangshuo was prettyx with Yuan Tian. Aside from being strict on her studies, he had allowed her to do whatever she wanted. Because of that, Lu Shan had had some altercations with Yuan Tangshuo. Now that a ward was restricted even from her, it was pretty evident that it housed Ye Kun, like Mu Chenyan had imed. Why would my brother hide a patient? Why did Qinger spend so much effort on convincing Zhao Yanni to harm him? Yuan Tian asked a series of questions. I want to know the answer to questions as well. But, you know, Yuan Xuan had thought about this extensively. He wouldnt let me know! But the more he does that, the more you want to know, isnt it? Yuan Tian smiled cunningly. You know how to help me, right? A sliver of hope was lingering inside Mu Chenyans heart as she looked at Yuan Tian expectantly. Ill need to try something. My dads being really tight about it. Its not so easy getting close to that ward without being his closest confidants, Said Yuan Tian as she pondered. Soon, she said slowly, Wait for my news! Ill find a way to sneak you in! Mu Chenyan was excited. She thought she had had the best luck. Even a tiny sickness from Little Ginger Fur Ball could score her an idental news. Mu Chenyan did not know why she was so interested in the mysterious Ye Kun. However, instinctively, she just wanted to meet him. Why would Shu Qinger put exert herself to harm a patient in a mental hospital, and what was the intention of the person behind her? With those questions haunting her, Mu Chenyan could not sleep even after 11 pm. Worrying about Little Ginger Fur Ball, Mu Chenyan climbed out of bed and sneaked upstairs to look at the sick cat. Little Ginger Fur Ball ingested the digestion medicine Yuan Tian concocted for it before Mu Chenyan massaged it. It took a dump and soon, it was feeling good enough to y with Briquet. Briquet saw that its future wife had returned to its usual ferocity and immediately forgot its promise about sleeping with its daddy. It started ying with Little Ginger Fur Ball, asionally pretending to bite Little Ginger Fur Balls ear with its fangs. Little Ginger Fur Ball was a fat cat. If it were to fight Briquet seriously, it would not have won against Briquet. However, due to Briquets doting, it could be a little arrogant sometimes. How did the saying go? Thats right, to be conceited because one is in someones good graces! Seeing the two having fun, Mu Chenyan was relieved. She stood up and patted the dust off of her. Turning around, she inadvertently ran into an embrace. Warmth, with a hint of extra heat, it was almost burning! Scent, with a tinge of extra daze, it was nearly rousing! He locked her in his embrace tightly, not budging. Mu Chenyan groaned lowly, her heart pounding aberrantly. The fragrance in this embrace, it was the familiar minty shower gel! When she had recognized Yuan Xuan, she thumped her tiny fist on his shoulder. You startled me! You dont even make sounds while walking! Yuan Xuan kept silent, focusing on her tiny face, huge waves rolling in his eyes. Youre not even speaking, what are you doing! Go back to sleep! Mu Chenyan wanted to break free of his curb, but he ducked down and picked her up by her knees and made his way toward the lounge chair in the corner... Im not doing anything, but I wanna do you! Mu Chenyan saw a familiar mood in his eyes. Her body quivered uncontrobly. You... youre too much... We just did it yesterday... Mu Chenyan could not understand. How do men have seemingly inexhaustible energy when ites to this? ԪĿ,,żɳ,§ú˯,ֻ̫̫˵! Mu Chenyan was forced onto the lounge chair by the man. One of his hands caressed her side, and the other hand worked on her thin, authentic silk nightgown. His fingertips were slightly cold as they caused her to tremble where they traced. It was especially so when they were on the open-air balcony, with Yuan Tian staying in the guest room on the second floor, Ah Fu staying in the wing room, and the lover cats right in front of them... Wait... Yuan Xuan... Can we do it another day? Mu Chenyan thought she would die in embarrassment if Yuan Tian woke up and looked for her. What other day do we do it on? Hmm? The man did not stop. Instead, he lightly traced her vicle, leaving behind a trail of kisses, making her gasp. I remember, your period ising! Yuan Xuans lips stopped high, his tongue sketching the outline of her face. Mu Chenyan moaned uncontrobly as her breath quickened. Her period was really within the corner. Dang it, he even remembered something like this! Then... I can only do it once... Mu Chenyan begged. In the past, when he was in the mood, he would sometimes torture her two to three times in one night. However, such intemperate lust only happened once in a while. Most of the time, they were just like normal couples! However, he would take a long time to reach orgasm... Seeing the blush on Mu Chenyans face, the mist in her eyes, and the fight in her first, Yuan Xuan knew she was worried that if she gave an inch, he might want a mile. He bent down and kissed her earlobes as heforted her. Dont worry, as soon as I send you up there, Ill stop... The lounge chair was not too big, but there was a nice cotton cushion on top. Ah Fu had cleaned it regrly, so it carried the fragrance of the detergent mixed with the smell of the sun. Yuan Xuan kept patrolling hisnd with his lips until she melted into a pool of water... Little Chenyan, have I told you that I am poisoned... Yuan Xuans voice was abnormally guttural as it invaded her ears. Feeling that, Mu Chenyan yelped, and he continued, Only you are my antidote... The man groaned... Mu Chenyans body was yed with by the man as it became suppler than she could imagine. She held her lips tightly, afraid of making any sound, but Yuan Xuan drove her up the wall. Little Chenyan, why arent you moaning? He was drenched in his sweat, but he did not stop teasing her. His eyes were filled with a naughtiness as he intensified his movements... Ah... Mu Chenyan could not stand his teasing and moaned beyond her control, her eyes begging. Yuan Xuan... Please... We cant... Mmph... He did not want to lose his excitement and muffled her pleas with his lips... In the eyes of the two cats... Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball did not know what their parents were doing, but daddy was bullying mommy to the verge of crying! The more mommy begged, the more excited daddy became! Wow, in the end, mommy did cry and threw a fit, scratching and wing at daddy... Not only did daddy not get angry, he was joyful. He started nibbling and biting mommys shoulder and her softer parts... Meow... Briquet, do you understand whats happening? Mew... Little Fur Ball Ginger, I dont quite understand, but we can try daddys action right now in the future... Chapter 270 - Wait For My Good News

Chapter 270: Wait For My Good News

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Where have you gone? Mu Chenyan tried her best to be quiet as she made her way back to the bedroom. As she pushed open the door, Yuan Tian was woken up. She asked Mu Chenyan as she was rubbing her sleepy eyes. Oh... I... I went upstairs to check on Little Ginger Fur Ball! Mu Chenyans voice was raspy. That idiot man made her scream so loud, her voice was almost gone... What happened to your voice? Did you get a cold? Yuan Tian sounded a little concerned. Mu Chenyans face was red and she deflected the question by iling her arms. Im fine, just need to drink some water. Yuan Tian looked at her watch. It showed 1.30 am. She turned around and said, Go to bed, that fat cat wont get into trouble, so dont miss that fatty meat! Mu Chenyan smiled bitterly. She thought, When have I missed that fatty meat? Its your brother who was missing this piece of meat, alright? Purplish marks were all over her body, so Mu Chenyan carefully chose a set of full-sleeved pajamas and changed into it. ... The next day, Mu Chenyan woke up early, worried that Yuan Tian might see her bruises after her experience. Yuan Tian waszing in bed, unwilling to get up. Yuan Tangshuos phone call was like thunder andva. I want to see you at the hospital within an hour! Yuan Tangshuo pampered this daughter, but pampering her did not mean that he would indulge her unrestrained. There would be an experting in to perform consultation in the morning. Yuan Tian was not an expert, but as the year-round auditor beside her father, how could she be absent? Big Tian looked at the watch with her cloudy eyes. It was 8 am. She stayed in the Hibiscus Garden on her own volition, and she dared to sleep in... By the time Yuan Tian darted downstairs, Ah Fu stuffed the packed breakfast into her hands and cautioned her, Fifth Miss, careful, its hot... Thedy who did not even put on makeup thanked him profusely and waved goodbye to Mu Chenyan. Based on her mouth shape, she seemed to be saying, Wait for my good news. After sending Yuan Tian away, Mu Chenyans attention snapped back. Recalling that it was almost a half hour before Yuan Xuan needed to get to work, she asked, What do you n to do about Qinger? Sooner orter, Shu Qingers real identity would need to be announced to the outside world. The tragedy with Shu Qinger had involved the Yuan Family, so its effect could be seen in the whole of Luo Hai. Now that her real self had returned, they would need toe up with an exnation. Yuan Xuan did not betray any expression on his face. He said calmly, Ive contacted a painting studio in Italy for her. When everythings confirmed, well send her to Italy. Seeing the surprised look on Mu Chenyans face, Yuan Xuan continued, Her artistic aplishments was not bad. It would be wasteful for her to stay in the country, so she might as well continue studying over there and open up a studio of her own! The Italians were much more amodating. If she could find a suitable partner, she could live peacefully for the rest of her life. һ,Ҫ? What about grandmother? Lets not let her know for now. Shes quite old, she cant handle extreme emotions like this! Yuan Xuan thought of and prepared for every facet of the issue. After all, only Old Mistress would be able to control him among everyone in the Yuan Family. Yuan Xuan was not prepared to have his hands tied like this. Seeing Mu Chenyans silence, Yuan Xuan knew how troubled she was, so heforted her. Qinger was just someone who was used in the incident at Zong He. Zhao Yanni who put the poison there has died, so the police had no evidence to charge Qinger. Yuan Xuan was speaking the truth. Both Su Qingcheng and Wu Huai had said that the case was effective unsolved. I wasnt trying to shelter her. Going to Italy is the best choice she has. Shes lived there for several years, shes had a pretty hard life, I wont leave her without care! Yuan Xuan was one of the people who valued rtionship the most. You know the people behind the Zong He Incident, dont you? Mu Chenyan picked up hints from Yuan Xuans words. Yuan Xuan felt helpless against Mu Chenyans wits. Mu Chenyan, if youre less curious, I might find you cuter! Yuan Xuan passed his tie to her and said haughtily, If you cant stand it, you can return to work! Mu Chenyan sighed. She was just not one who would sit still. Yuan Xuan would not confess. Mu Chenyan thought, It would be nice to go back to work. There is work to be done, after all. Whats more, with Su Qingcheng around, it would be easier for me to work when there were like-minded people. Ill be more than happy to! As she said that, Yuan Xuan stared at Mu Chenyan doubtfully as she sauntered upstairs to change. Before long, she reappeared with a lightweight outfit of a striped cotton dress and a pair of white shoes. Mu Chenyans inky-ck hair was tied up in a bun behind her head, and she wore a white cap. You said it, I can go to work now! Lets go? Yuan Xuan looked at the woman who walked in front of him andughed silently. If she wanted to go out, she can go out as long as she doesnt make troubles. ... There was an untouched forest area in the North Hill. Years ago, Yuan Familys Old Master had bought parts of it and enclosed it to nurture plenty of tiny animals. Yuan Xuan had been there, hunting with his grandfather. Old Masters marksmanship was remarkable as he used to serve the army and traversed the primitive jungle of the southwest region, picking up all kinds of skills and abilities. Young Yuan Xuan had seen his grandfather ride horses, shoot arrows, and wield all sorts of weapons. Yuan Tangbai was Old Masters favorite due to his knack in the same things. Even if Yuan Xuan did not use to wield hunting guns like toy guns, but he was influenced through constant exposure. In this day, Yuan Xuan drove, but not to his office. Shao Yibai and invited him to the North Hill Enclosure to hunt. It had been a while since Yuan Xuan had hunted, so he was happy toply. Shao Yibai had yed with guns in the army and had earned the nickname Master Marksman. It was not his original intention to step back to the second line. However, due to friction inside his family, a fearless person like Shao Yibai had decided to strip his military rank offpletely, enraging Old Master Shao, and finally took a non-military role. Coming to Luo Hai to supervise Yuan Familys oil field in Nan Hai District was just an excuse, he was happy to be out here, living life! Knowing that Yuan Family had a paddock, Shao Yibai could not suppress his urges and invited Yuan Xuan to hunt. However, Yuan Xuan was a true wife-ve. Even with just Mu Chenyan, he had had his hands full. It was not an easy feat to call Yuan Xuan out! Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai changed into a lightweight survival outfitcamouge jacket, mountaineering boots, and carried two guns. Yuan Xuan knew Tian Qi had wanted to have an outing with Shao Yibai, so naturally, he brought him along. Tian Qi was so excited, he could not sleep. He hade to the paddock the night prior and had begun inspecting the surroundings and terrain as the first ray hits the earth. Even though Tian Qi had a low emotional quotient, he had an exceptional sense in these things. When Shao Yibai saw the joyful Tian Qi, he yelled, Oi, catch! He threw a rifle at Tian Qi. Tian Qi tried the rifle out. He had not touched any rifles sinceing out of the army. Now that he could hunt, it was as if he had been injected with a new life...

Chapter 271: I Just Dont Feel like Reeling in the Nets Yet

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The enclosure was notrge, but one would not be able to finish walking around even if they had three days to do so. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai walked around the border of the enclosure with just a map in hand. Every year, Yuan Family had spent hundreds of millions to maintain the ecology of the area. All the animals were free-range, so they were on high alert. The three were only practicing their hunting skills. Before noon, they managed to snipe four rabbits, three Siberian musk deers, and seven pheasants, which was satisfactory. Originally, they were going for a wild boar, so Tian Qi was not too pleased by it. You two are going about without much weight on you, so you were ying around. I was carrying all the trophies, so if a wild boar appear right now, you two carry it! Back when Shao Yibai had led a column of special forces deep into the forest separating Northern Burma and Western Yunnan, he had saved several children being trafficked by a underground organization. One of them was Tian Qi. They had wanted to send them back to the relief station, but in that moment, Tian Qi snapped out of his wooden-headedness. He tugged at Shao Yibais camouge costume and begged, Big brother, can you bring me along? Shao Yibai looked at the bluish-ck irises of the bony boy, pinched the boys arm lightly, and asked yfully, Youre like ady, what can you do? Tian Qi said with a simple-minded grin, I can fight and carry rifles! ... Hearing Tian Qis protest, Shao Yibai knocked his head. Alright. My Blockhead has grown up and started to have his own ulterior motives! Yuan Xuanughed along. He looked at the trophies in Tian Qis hands and decided that it was enough food for the afternoon. He told Shao Yibai, Lets go back to ry station. We cane back in the afternoon! Hes right, if we managed to score a wild boar, you can carry it yourself! Considering his own heroic stance, Shao Yibai was not worried. What encumberance would a wild boar add? I am in charge, of eating it! Shao Yibai said in a pompous ouw manner as he led the hunting party with a self-centered parade. Tian Qi kept the rabbits and pheasants on his body, while Yuan Xuan took over the Siberian musk deer. They went past three ridges before a spacious clearing appeared in front of them. Without the giant trees that obscure the sky, the clearing seemed really empty. Yuan Xuan stood still with his rifle as his walking stick and scanned the clearing, piping up suddenly to Shao Yibai, Fourteen years ago, I saved Ye Kun here. He was pursued by other people for years and escaped from Xi Fan back to Luo Hai and into this enclosure! He didnt eat or drink. When I saved him, he was half-dead. He was hiding in this enclosure, hurt by beasts, and his injury was not cauterized. By the time he was sent to the hospital, the wound on his leg has been infected and had to be amputated. His hands were also badly injured by someone else, so he had that uncontroble shaking ever since... Who would believe he was the personal bodyguard fourteen years ago, the sharpshooter who was infamous across thends? Hearing that, Shao Yibai patted Yuan Xuans shoulder and said softly, The pawn you moved this time should yield fruit soon, right? Yuan Xuans eyes were dark, beneath his calm demeanor was full of murderous intention. What needs to be done had been done, I just dont feel like reeling in thes yet. Luo Hai had been calm and peaceful for so many years, if it ends without some turmoil, the game wouldve been boring! ... Aside from Wu Huai, everyone was surprised by Mu Chenyans return. After a few days of not seeing Mu Chenyan, Su Qingcheng had a seemingly-limitless amount of things to tell her. However, it was business hour, and she was not as rxed as Mu Chenyan. She had a case that she had to work on. With a simple greeting, the two women made an appointment to have lunch together. Zhang Xin had been libidinous for the past few days. The moment he knew about Mu Chenyans return, it was as if he was injected with a cardiotonic agent. He was passionate to the point that Mu Chenyan felt an ardent stare from her back, so she had been slightly cold to Zhang Xin. There were several people who knew of Mu Chenyans identity in the police, but Zhang Xin did not. Everyone had been busy with their own business, coupled with Wu Huais strictness forbidding his subordinates from chitchatting, no one had told Zhang Xin. No one would think that he would dare to set his eyes on Yuan Xuans woman... Chenyan, lets have lunch together? Zhang Xin typed up a storm on his keyboard as he quietly invited Mu Chenyan. Separated by twoputers, Zhang Xin was observing Mu Chenyans expression. Normally, the police would dine in their cafeteria, but Zhang Xin wanted to invite Mu Chenyan to have lunch outside. Mu Chenyan was busy with the documents pileed up in front of her and said without even lifting her head, Im eating with Su Qingcheng at noon, you know that. What if I invite you out together with the otherrades in the team on another day? Ive depended much on you for work recently, so I should be the one footing the bill, dont ke on me, senior. This woman had always been able to reject an advance appropriately without leaving the other party feeling embarrassed, but at the same time, clear and concise. Zhang Xin stopped the work he had in his hand and stood, musing out loud, Su Qingcheng had been assigned a pretty big case yesterday, she might not make it back by noon, I think? Sensing no reaction from Mu Chenyan, Zhang Xin sighed and mumbled, The police are such uptight people to involve Luo Hais Yuan Family. The case is evidently not easy, they dont even want me there to report, so I had nothing to do. Who would dare to offend the Yuan Family... Its about the Yuan Family? Mu Chenyan stood as she heard. Seeing that she finally responded, Zhang Xin moved closer to her hurriedly and asked, Youre interested in this case? Tell me! Mu Chenyan stayed patient. If the case involves the Yuan Family, not even Wu Huai would be able to stop her from keeping tabs on it. Every year, our country would set aside an amount of budget for the military houses and would hand them out through Luo Hais Arms Control Department, do you know about that? Mu Chenyan shook her head, she was not too knowledgeable on these things. Cliffs notes version, please. Zhang Xin ryed the information he had heard elsewhere to Mu Chenyan. (1000-ish words redacted for censorship...) (TN: Author redacted the recounting of the information from a previous chapter for brevity.) How much money would it involve to have so many important people make their moves? If it was about the docking of soldiers pay and creative ounting, Mu Chenyan felt the amount involved was too little to warrant paying attention. It involves several hundred people spanning decades. The exact amount of money involved was not meager. By this time, it matters not how much money was involved, because if something happens, it would be huge. Right now, several departments in the station were working together to solve the case, even the Discipline Inspection Commission had a part in it. What does that have to do with Yuan Family? Mu Chenyan asked expressionlessly. Arms Control Departments Head of Financial Division, Nie Chao, used to be a subordinate of Yuan Tangzhong. Zhang Xin mentioned off-handedly. Division Head Nie was Yuan Tangzhongs secretary. Something happened then that ascended him to his current position. Zhang Xin looked at Mu Chenyan with a knowing look. Mu Chenyan gave it a thought. She did not believe that Yuan Tangzhong was involved in corruption. At least, he would not have risked it for this amount of money. After all, the financial ability of the Yuan Family was of a certain level. However, it was not clear if Yuan Tangzhong would allow his subordinates to participate in unsavory practices like this! Chapter 272 - About the Case You’re following, I’d Like to Go and Have a Look Too

Chapter 272: About the Case Youre following, Id Like to Go and Have a Look Too

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After listening to Zhang Xin words, Mu Chenyan secretly contemted about it and felt that she could not wait for another moment. If it were rted to the Yuan Family, it was better to for her to follow the case aspared to having another person doing it. Hence, Mu Chenyan grabbed the phone and called Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng thought that Mu Chenyan was rushing her for lunch. Picking up the call, she immediately said, Chenyan, Im quite caught up here. Ill only be going backter in the afternoon. Qingcheng, about the case youre following, Id like to go and have a look too. Mu Chenyans intentions were extremely clear. Su Qingcheng knew that Zhang Xin must have disclosed the particrity of this case to Mu Chenyan. It involved the Yuan Family! If the murder had not happened, this kind of major political case would not have needed the involvement of the major crimes department. The one who had led the protest and made the mostmotion was a family with the surname Sun. The male lead was Sun Jie, a scout who had died many years ago in a drill. He left behind a wife and a child. It was not known where the Sun family had gotten the news from, saying that their pension had been suspended, and the younger brother, Sun Xu, felt a deep sense of injustice for his sister-inw. He found out that it was not just one family who had encountered this, hence, they came together through their group contact, and Sun Xu headed the group to seek an exnation. Little did they expect to collide with the peacekeeping police of the government, and the incident had excted into an all out brawl. The situation got out of control. Many of those troublemakers were apprehended, but Sun Xu the leader desperately fled home. He dared not to show himself and was scared that the police woulde up to his door. However, for some mysterious reason, after receiving a call, Sun Xu had gone out again by himself. Old man Sun saw that his second son had not returned for the night and dared not called the police, hence he went searching around with his wife and neighbors. In the early morning of the next day, when Sun Xus body was found, it wasying near the mouth of the sewer... Old man Sun spurted a spray of blood and kicked the bucket next. Since lives were at stake, and this kind of criminal case could not be handled by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Hence, Wu Huai got the order to quickly send men over to handle the matter. A case of greed and corruption, a mob of troublemakers, and a fight had cost a life. It was not known if Sun Xus murder case was tied up with the Financial Secretarys case. Many departments would have to dig deeper and crack this case together. The people and powers implicated in this case were ratherplicated, and it was causing an uproar on the Inte. Zhang Xin had initially intended to write an article reporting on what was happening on the frontlines, but he did not expect Wu Huai to receive a call so soon to forbid any reporting. The onlinements were also quickly blocked. If it was forbidden, then he would not do it. Wu Huai was not supportive of the news reporting department anyway. Wu Huai had chased Zhang Xin away with a long face yesterday, but today, Mu Chenyan wanted to follow them instead... Su Qingcheng was put in a difficult position after hearing her request. She hesitated for a moment before replying softly, Chenyan, Im not in the position to make this decision. Youve got to get Captain Wus approval. Zhang Xin had wanted to follow us yesterday but was chased away by Captain Wu... Mu Chenyans gaze fell on Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin nodded and confirmed that that was what he had encountered. Recalling the handsome and gloomy face of Wu Huai, Zhang Xin felt indignant. Mu Chenyan smiled. We can act first before informing himter. Dont worry, I wont implicate you. ... Aftering back from hunting, Yuan Xuan asked Tian Qi to catch some crickets for the two kittens to y with. Shao Yibai watched Yuan Xuans henpecked manner and his mouth twitched, thinking nothing of it. When Yuan Xuan saw Shao Yibais face, his expression was in as he remarked lightly, I cant bepared with certain people. After all, men like me who have eaten real meat are not on the same level as those who can only consume rabbit meat, wild chicken and deer and say that they are delicious. Hearing that, Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan was mocking him once again for not having a wife and teasing him formenting on the fragrance of the rabbit meat. He could not tolerate it anymore! He wanted to eat meat too! Picking up his phone, Shao Yibai dialed a number. Su Qingcheng was preupied with the overwhelming workload. When she saw that it was Shao Yibais call, she felt snappy. On one hand, she hated this mans persistent entanglement with her; on the other hand, Su Qingcheng hated herself for being perennially disturbed by him. Taking a deep breath, Su Qingcheng pressed the decline button. Mu Chenyan had been following Su Qingcheng along the entire day. When she saw that herplexion was not that well, Mu Chenyan grew a little worried. Qingcheng, whats wrong? Su Qingcheng spread her hands. Nothing. Just a lunatic! Mr Shao the lunatic heard the ever unchanging Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavable. Please try againter phrase. Hisplexion turned darker and darker. This damned woman. It was fine if Su Qingcheng did not want to meet him, but she would not even pick up his call. If this situation were to persist, he would be Yuan Xuansughing stock. Su Qingcheng was headstrong, but Shao Yibai was even more strong-willed than her. Yuan Xuan, Ill get going first. As he finished speaking, Shao Yibai quickly turned his steering wheel and swiftly left the paddock parking area. Yuan Xuan looked at the two crickets in the little cage held by Tian Qi and enthusiastically said, Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet will definitely like these two friends. ... Mu Chenyan followed Su Qingcheng around the entire day and was worn out by the end of it. Although it was tiring, it was also incredibly fruitful at the same time. With the aid of Su Qingchengs identity, Mu Chenyan did not face any hindrances in the interviewing process. However, one could not expect those who know the inside story to divulge too much information regarding this kind of matter. They had been in the field for a long time and knew what could be said and what could not be said. Mu Chenyan had brought the information collected during the day back to organize them and had nned to write a report on them first. Her focus was still on the Financial Secretary case, and although it was an extremely sensitive topic. This is because the information Mu Chenyan had acquired were all from the family members. Sun Xu was dead, and so was his father. The entire Sun Family mourned at the loss of their two beloved members, and Mother Sun had already passed out a couple of times. Sun Xus body was left at the forensic department for an autopsy. The Sun familys eldest daughter-inw had remarried, leaving a nine-year-old daughter and Mother Sun behind to depend on each other. There were no pirs of support anywhere in sight, and without the help of rtives, Mother Sun could only give Old Master a simple funeral. The Sun family was now left with a widow and an orphan. They had no means to pursue and dispute over the pension, but as for their sons death, there had to be some sort of justification for it. Hence, when Su Qingcheng and the rest had gone to investigate Sun Xus murder case, Mother Sun was extremely cooperative as she had hoped to finally obtain justice for her son. Although he wasnt arrested for being the leader of the mob, his end result was worse... It wouldve been better for him to be arrested back then... Sun Xus mother wept andmented on her son. Mother Sun had two sons. One was a soldier who had managed to be an officer but had died, while another perished in the midst of seeking justice. Mu Chenyan was curious about Sun Xus position as the leader. How did this young man know of a secret that had been hidden for more than ten years? From what Zhang Xin had said, the Financial Secretary had made the ount wless. Mother Sun, what was Sun Xus working as before this? Xiao Jiang, whom Su Qingcheng had dispatched to make a statement, asked. Sun Xu did not study much. After graduating from junior high school, he had been working in various KTVs in Luo Hai as a bartender or waiter. Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of something and interjected, Did Sun Xu bring anything home from the KTV recently? Seeing that Sun Xus mother was confused, Mu Chenyan helped her to recall. For example, any electronic products that can be used for recording, any documents, or micro camera of the likes. Mother Sun thought for a while before answering Mu Chenyan, He had asked me for Leles reading pen a while ago, the kind which is used for reading English, and he had taken it for a few days. When he returned it to meter on, he had asked me to keep it well and gave me another RMB300, asking me to buy a new one for Lele and to keep away the old one... Xiao Jiangs face was filled with delight. He turned to Mu Chenyan, and Mu Chenyan nodded. Xiao Jiang then asked, Wheres that reading pen now? Could you tell us? Chapter 273 - Kill to Silence

Chapter 273: Kill to Silence

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hearing such a detail, Xiao Jiang and Mu Chenyan were excited. Mother Sun said, I felt that the pen was still in good condition. My granddaughter, Lele, usually used it to read English, and it has no other use. Whats the point of buying a new one? Hence, I returned it to Lele. Mu Chenyans heart jumped in her throat and asked, Wheres Lele? Did she take the pen with her? Mother Sun looked at the mess in the house and sighed. So much has been happening at home, and I couldnt help but send Lele to her maternal grandmother to stay away for a few days. She might have taken it with her as she reads English every day... Xiao Jiang asked a few more questions again, but Mu Chenyans attention was on the reading pen. Coming out from the Sun familys house, Xiao Jiang informed Su Qingcheng the result of the investigation and mentioned the reading pen. Chenyan, how did you think of asking that question after hearing about Sun Xus job? Xiao Jiang was bing increasingly curious of Mu Chenyan. She was only a junior reporter, but her mind was so meticulous that she could totally be a detective. Sun Xus unusual request for the mother to keep the pen meant that there must be something about it. Mother Sun said that Sun Xu worked at a sophisticated ce hence its inevitable that he might havee into contact with some of the dignitaries, and those people often looked down on the waiters. Maybe they had discussed about something after getting drunk, and it was overheard by Sun Xu. As Mu Chenyan exined, Xiao Jiangs eyes lightened up, and he felt that it made sense. The topic Sun Xu was interested in would most likely be rted to his brothers pension? Mu Chenyan smiled, Im not sure actually. Its just my spection. Im not a police officer. You guys would need evidence for the case, but I only need to make an assumption hence I could over think situations to explore more possibilities. Su Qingchengughed. Its good to over think. Whats worse is not thinking at all. However, what youve just said is right. Imagination alone wont work. We need evidence. How did it cross your mind that Sun Xu might have passed something to his mother? This was Xiao Jiangs first time here. The Sun family was having a funeral for their Old Master, hence everything was quite chaotic, and he did not have much idea on how to obtain a testimony. However, Mu Chenyan had managed to get a clue just like that, hence he was naturally curious about Mu Chenyans thought processes. Sun Xu had a low education level. In his kind of job, ones not allowed to take his mobile phone with him during working hours. If he really had the intention, he would have used other ways to record the information he overheard. He must have acquired this information by chance. Since he took the reading pen that Lele uses every day for a few days, this meant that in the process, he needed to record numerous times. Mu Chenyan said inly, Of course, this is just my spection. Moreover, I dont think that a waiter with a junior high school education level would take his nieces reading pen for the purpose of learning English. Xiao Jiang was piqued by what he had heard. He had been a criminal police for a few years and knew that cracking cases required evidence. This kind of imaginary practice was definitely forbidden by Wu Huai. He continued asking Mu Chenyan, Then why didnt he buy the most advanced micro camera or recording device then? Su Qingcheng was also intrigued by Mu Chenyans thoughts, hence she let Xiao Jiang asked closely. Mu Chenyan was somewhat embarrassed. The beautiful and charming woman was now blushing. Im just making a blind guess. Dont take it for real. Hurry up and find that reading pen, and then well know for sure. Lele is his brothers orphan, so he must have taken care of that child. When the child learns English, hed have told him that the reading pen has a recording function. Sun Xus ie was very low, and he usually has to supplement his familys household expenses. If he were to buy other devices, hed have taken into ount the problem of money spending. Hence, when he has a need, the first thing that he thought of would be whatever that was avable at home. Seeing that Xiao Jiang was about to raise another question again, Mu Chenyan responded directly. As for the 300 dors that he was willing to give to his mother to buy a new one for Lele, it must be because he saved some very important content in the old reading pen which he thought was more valuable than money. Mu Chenyan finished speaking in a breath and took a sip of water from the ss Su Qingcheng had passed to her. Xiao Jiang was ecstatic. Judging from what youve said, I should hurry up and make a move. To do what? Mu Chenyan asked and looked at Su Qingcheng. Go to Leles granny house to retrieve that reading pen. As Xiao Jiang replied, he had already jumped into that ramshackle police car of his. Sigh, Ive said that all these are merely my wild guess. Sun Xus already dead, and even I myself am not sure whether the situation was as such. Mu Chenyan was worried that she would mislead them. Su Qingcheng assured her, Dont worry. Since theres such a circumstance, regardless of whether its like what youve said, we would still have to look for that piece of evidence. Moreover, those whove caused trouble together with Sun Xu came clean yesterday night, saying that Sun Xu had let them listened to a part of a phone recording. Its very likely that Sun Xu had transferred it into his phone for them to hear. These people didnt dare to say much in the station. Sun Xu also didnt let them know where the original copy was, and so theres no substantial evidence that the recording they mentioned existed. Sun Xus mobile phone has long been taken away by the murderer. If you didnt bring it up, I wouldnt have thought that there might be other devices. Mu Chenyan nodded. People nowadays are used to using their mobile phone for all asions. At the ce where Sun Xu worked, if there were any dignitaries discussing something in secret, its impossible that they would allow the waiter to hold the phone and record. Su Qingcheng sighed. Looking at the evidence she had collected the entire day, shemented, I didnt think these two cases would have a connection. It looks like this Sun Xu was murdered because he had known too much. You mean to say that this was to silence him? Although Mu Chenyan agreed with this spection in her heart, she was still shocked. Theres a very high chance that it wasnt an intended murder but that he was identally beaten to death during the interrogation. Well have to wait for the autopsy report before we can be certain of it. ... The two women were upied until the evening, only then did they had a proper hot meal. It was the end of May and the season for skewers. At the beer stall by the roadside, Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan ordered some barbequed skewers and beer and was about to dig in. Mu Chenyan had never had this kind of experience. All her first-time experiences were given to Su Qingcheng. Thest time she had a super spicy set meal at City C, while this time, it was eating skewers and drinking beer. Eating by the street side and drinking cold beer was something that not just the Yuan Family would not allow, but even when in the Mu Family, it was impossible for her to try something like this. Her socialite title was such a fake one. Ive always carried the title of a socialitest time, and I feel that I didnt really experience the reality of the world and the suffering of human life. That was an iplete life! Mu Chenyan was still fearful of eating spicy dishes, hence the skewers she ordered were all vegetables. How about now? It should beplete? Only when one had eaten skewers and drink beer does it count as aplete life! Su Qingcheng remarked gleefully and revealed her clean and white teeth. Her eyes were full of delight. Her meat skewer was glowing red, and this frightened Mu Chenyan. One of my psychological turning points was after I went to the battlefield in the Middle East during my university days. Mu Chenyan smiled and lifted the beer can. It was still a little tough for her to ept this kind of bitter liquid, and she frowned as she took a big gulp. The cold sensation truly felt good. Mu Chenyan smiled and continued saying, The Mu Family and the Yuan Family were at the top of society. All that I saw was a prosperous world, and Ive lived a smooth-sailing life. Even if it was not smooth, I could just y pretend and flirt my way through it. Su Qingcheng chuckled, Its different for me. When I was a child, I had problems with filling my stomach. Hence, my parents picked one from among their seven daughters to be sold off, and unfortunately, I was the one... Mu Chenyan was taken aback. She had never heard Su Qingcheng talked about her past. No wonder she despised the human traffickers that much. In thest operation in City C, she had nearly beaten that female trafficker to death. Qingcheng, you... Words were stuck in Mu Chenyans throat. Being abandoned by ones biological parents, only the person alone could tell how painful it was. Su Qingcheng motioned with her hands and said, Its not worth bringing up. Its all in the past now. Why dont we talk about you? I really admire your courage. I was a soldier back then, but Ive never actually gone to a battlefield. There were many wars in the middle east, and it was intense. I signed up to join the peacekeeping forces but got rejected. When Su Qingcheng thought about the reasons she might have been rejected, arge part of it was due to Shao Yibai intervening. She imagined the meat skewer in front of her to be Shao Yibai and fiercely gnawed at it! Indeed, the war makes people realize that in the face of life and death, everything is but a walking shadow. In the refugee camp, Ive seen the struggle and suffering of those at the bottom of society. Only then did I realize the insignificance of all Ive experienced. In order to survive and for ones loved ones to live on, one could even lose their most basic dignity. Today, they might still be alive and walking, but tomorrow, when a bomb explodes, they could be pieces. Su Qingcheng had a fewrge sses of beer, and her eyes were slightly red. She looked at Mu Chenyan and suddenlymented, Hence, with that encounter in the battlefield, youve considered having gone through lifes honing, which was how you made it through the two years in prison... Hearing that, Mu Chenyan nodded and replied softly, Indeed, life in prison was a vast difference from my previous life. From a pampered youngdy to a prisoner, the psychological impact was truly not small. Ive got no loved ones, no identity, no love, no dignity, and no hope for the future life. When Mu Chenyan said that, her eyes dimmed. The unfair treatment she had experienced during that period was not expressed in hate and grievances but in a in and simple manner, as if she was talking about some other peoples story. Did you thought of ending your life? Su Qingcheng asked. No. Even though I dont know whether I could leave that ce, Ive never thought ofmitting suicide. I can ept death, but I dont want to end it on my own. Ive seen even harsher life and death, so I chose to respect life. Hence, though I was beaten and bullied, I bore it all silently. It wasnt because I was still thinking of Yuan Xuan and my family. Now that Ie to think of it, I only feel that those days were also aplement to making my life whole. I cant be living a peaceful life forever and be a socialite who never knew the suffering of the human world... Su Qingchengughed. When you first came over to be a reporter, even Wu Huai looked down on you, afraid that you could not take on the workload. It seems that a philistine man is just merely as such, while a womans tenacity is extremely strong. Not only did you persist, but youve also helped us to crack the case. Mu Chenyan gestured with her hand and smiled. Its all just my wild guess. Theres no rule to it but just an intuition. Its also merely luck. Su Qingcheng was well aware that the Mu Chenyan she was seeing in front of her had been reborn. Those experiences she had gone through had allowed her to rose from the ashes and be reborn from the fire like a phoenix! Chapter 274 - Miss Su, Your Friend Has Met With an Accident

Chapter 274: Miss Su, Your Friend Has Met With an ident

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What ns do you have for the near future? Su Qingcheng suddenly changed the topic and asked. Mu Chenyan chuckled without saying a word. I suppose you already have a n? Su Qingcheng saw through this meticulous minded woman. It was impossible for her tomit herself to the Yuan family muddleheaded just like that. Everything is still unknown. Im not sure when my mother will wake up, and Im not sure what kind of news will she bring to me. Hence, Yuan Xuan and I are still in an uncertain state... Su Qingcheng was about to speak when the persistent call came through her handphone again. The woman was extremely irked. Picking up the call, her tone was not pleasant. Shao Yibai, arent you a bother? Sorry, is this Miss Su? The other party was not Shao Yibai, but it was the gentle voice of a male. Your friend has been involved in an ident. Only your number has been dialed dozens of times on his mobile phone... Before waiting for the other party to finish, Su Qingchengs face had paled. With trembling lips, she interrupted the other partys words. Hurry, tell me, where are you? ... The man who had called Su Qingcheng was a doctor at Sheng Yu Hospital. The man put down the phone, let out a sigh, and nced at the patient lying in the hospital bed. After leaving some instructions to the nurse, he turned around and went to attend to other matters. Su Qingcheng rushed to Sheng Yu hastily, and Mu Chenyan followed behind. The two women had been busy for the entire day, and they were somewhat tired. However, hearing that Shao Yibai met with a car ident, how could they still be thinking of taking a rest? Yuan Xuan and Tian Qi were waiting in the corridor outside of the neurosurgery ward. Su Qingcheng was quite emotional, and the woman who had always been calm and steady lunged at Tian Qi upon seeing him. Su Qingcheng had never cried out loud before, but now she could not control herself as she held Tian Qi tightly. Dummy, is Shao Yibai dead? The news reported that the car was squashed t... While Mu Chenyan was driving on the road, Su Qingcheng had used her phone to search about the ident on Han Xing Street, which was the area she was living in. The blue Ferrari was sandwiched between two heavy-duty engineering vehicles. Mu Chenyan did not see the picture as she was driving, but the expression on Su Qingchengs face depicted how terrible the scene must have been. It must have been because... I didnt pick up Shao Yibais call, so he went looking for me... Shao Yibais dead... I dont want to live too... Su Qingcheng embraced Tian Qi as she wept. Tian Qi had a confused look as he mumbled, Daisy, dont be upset. Go in and take a look first... Mu Chenyan also felt sad. She had just heard of Shao Yibais ident, and she was now watching Su Qingcheng sobbing her heart out. She felt a lump in her throat, and tears began to fill the corner of her eyes. Yuan Xuan embraced her at the side and whispered, If Im dead, will you cry like this? Yuan Xuan, scoot off... Mu Chenyan sobbed intermittently and could not understand a mans world. His best friend and cousin had died, yet he still had the mood to joke around. Su Qingcheng was dragged into the ward by Tian Qi. The woman was bawling non-stop and refused to enter no matter what. I dont dare to take a look... Im afraid that when I see him... I wouldnt want to live anymore... Tian Qiughed. Hes not dead. If hes dead, would he still be in the ward? He would have been at the mortuary... Su Qingcheng thought that it made sense. Who said that Shao Yibai had died? Had she been crying till she was dazed? To be exact, she was frightened until her mind had gone nk! What an irony that she was a cop, and how embarrassing it was for her to be crying indiscriminately as such! Su Qingcheng wiped her tears away and sniffled, blushing from her irrationality. Yeah... Hes not dead... Recalling those pictures, Su Qingcheng had lost her ability to think. This attested to the saying that being overly concerned would cause more confusion (TN: a Chinese proverb). She pushed the ward door open and saw the man lying on the bed. His entire body was bandaged, looking like a mummy... Shao Yibai? The tears Su Qingcheng had held back surged out once more. She leaned forward and called out his name gently, touching the bandaged hand. He seemed to have suffered serious injuries and was motionless. She had caused such amotion, but he was not aware of any of it on the bed. The doctor from earlier on had said that he had just undergone surgery. Only after that did he had the time to call her... Su Qingcheng lifted her head and looked at Shao Yibai, whose head had been wrapped into the likes of a rice dumpling, and she wept uncontrobly. Shao Yibai! Im sorry... Its all because I was whimsy and didnt pick up your call... You cant die... What will happen to me if youre dead? Youre the only one whom Ive loved in my lifetime. If you die, how am I going to live for the rest of my life... Su Qingchengmented and cried at the same time. Her speech was incoherent, and her thoughts were all jumbled up. It seemed that Shao Yibai had been in aa for a while. No matter how Su Qingcheng wailed, and regardless of how sorrowful she was, there was still no reaction from the person in bed. Mu Chenyan quietly wiped her tears and turned to ask Yuan Xuan, Did he have surgery right after he was brought in? What did the doctor say? Yuan Xuans expression was nd. I received a call about his ident before I reached home. When I arrived, the surgery was already over. Speaking of which, how were the doctors nowadays this bold as to not inform the family members before performing surgery? Mu Chenyan stood on one side and looked suspiciously at Yuan Xuan and Tian Qi. The two appeared overly calm. Only Su Qingcheng who was crying her heart out was really feeling sad. Tian Qi! Mu Chenyan shouted fiercely, causing Tian Qi to jump up in fright. Mistress... Whats... whats the matter? Tian Qi was not good in adjusting to sudden changing circumstances, and he was confused from Mu Chenyans roar. Seeing Mu Chenyans grim face, he was at a loss. Go and call Shao Yibai from the next door! Mu Chenyan ordered abruptly. Tian Qi was perplexed. His mind was filled with the words of Shao Yibai never let the cat out of the bag! However, Tian Qi did not have a clear understanding of the current situation, and he asked softly, How do you know that Brother Shao is next door? Hearing that, Su Qingcheng stopped crying. She stood up, wiped her tears, and asked Tian Qi with a hoarse voice, Whats going on? Did those cheesy plots that often appeared on TV actually happened to her? Su Qingcheng coldly sneered and looked at the mummy on the bed. Was that not Shao Yibai? Daisy, I... I... have no idea too... Tian Qi was flustered. His sturdy figure seemingly shrunk into a ball, and his gaze avoided Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng could not care less. She pushed aside Yuan Xuan and Tian Qi who were in the way and made a dash for the ward next door... Yuan Xuan watched his own woman with interest and asked inly, How did Mistress notice that Shao Yibais ident was a sham? Mu Chenyan snorted and did not seem to want to answer him. The clothes you wore before leaving home in the morning; it was I who helped tie your necktie. I can still remember it clearly. Now it turns out that youre in a different set of clothing when going home at night. You said that you werent home yet when you were informed of Shao Yibais ident. If you knew that Shao Yibai had a car ident, how would you be in the mood of going home to change your clothes? Second, you and Tian Qi seemed to be too calm, especially the fact that Tian Qi did not express sadness but guilt. Tian Qis an obedient child, not a baddie like you guys are! Hence I concluded that this is a set up for Su Qingcheng! Chapter 275 - Could Not Wait to Kick Shao Yibai into a Mummy

Chapter 275: Could Not Wait to Kick Shao Yibai into a Mummy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Mu Chenyan finished her sentence, Tian Qi scratched his head and gave an upright smile. Yuan Xuan the baddie was still disying the bearing of a gentleman. He adjusted his cor, his slender fingers flipping the cor, and traces of smile filled the corner of his eyes. Mistress, dont ce me in the same vein of Shao Yibai. This show was put on because he had coerced us to cooperate. In fact, I could only be considered as an aplice and not the mastermind. I was only pitying the man who could not eveny a finger on his wife. In the other ward, Shao Yibai watched Su Qingcheng rushed over with a murderous aura and was prepared for battle... Su Qingcheng barged into the room and saw Shao Yibai standing there dressed in an outdoor survival camouge suit. The tall and sturdy man had an imposing and impressive appearance. No one who wore a military uniform could be more handsome than Shao Yibai. It was as if he was born to put on this military outfit. When the handsome man saw the murderous intent on Su Qingchengs face, he rubbed his nose and sighed. Just now you were crying your heart out, and now that you see Im all well and fine, shouldnt youe forward and give me a few French kisses? Hmm? Kiss your head! Su Qingcheng was exasperated. She held the bed railings and gave a flying kick. How f*king childish can you be to y this kind of joke! Why dont you just go to hell... Recalling her embarrassing manner, Su Qingcheng could not wait to kick Shao Yibai and turned him into the mummy from earlier on... Shao Yibai was not angry at all. He greeted her attacks and smilingly said at the same time, Wow. What a temper! Didnt you just say that you cant continue to live if Ive died? If you really do kick me to death, dont you have to follow suit? Have mercy on me! Listening to this mans nonsense, Su Qingcheng attacked even fiercer. The empty ward had these two persons fighting intensely, one attacking and another on defense. Daisy, dont forget that it was I who taught you all your martial art moves! After tolerating a few rounds, Shao Yibai finally could not hold back. He grabbed her by her shoulders and pressed her onto the hospital bed with a backhand. Su Qingcheng was so angry that she kicked him with her legs. Shao Yibai went on top of her, restraining her long legs with his... Both of them stared into each other. This pose was too ambiguous, causing Su Qingcheng to be both mad and shy at the same time. She bit her lips, and there was a sh of fluster in her eyes. Daisy... The mans voice was hoarse. His sexy Adams apple quivered up and down, and his eyes was filled with an overwhelming tenderness. Su Qingcheng turned her face away and dared not look him in the eyes... Shao Yibai noticed her bashfulness, and he did not hesitate any more. He lowered his head all of a sudden and bit on her lips... The woman groaned, but before she could even process her mind, the tip of her tongue had entwined with his. This mans kiss was still as domineering as thest time. He did not give her any breathing space but pressed on steadily, taking the lead. Just like always, he would force her to beg him... Youre too forceful, so you need an even more assertive man to subdue you! Shao Yibai remarked. She was only tough in her martial arts, not her heart. His dominance, on the other hand, was like a ferocious beast; once it broke out, there was no holding back. The man kissed the woman until she turned soft and gentle like a pool of water. Su Qingchengs face flushed red, her eyes were filled with embarrassment. At the door. Mu Chenyan, Yuan Xuan, and Tian Qi were dumbfounded... The two who were fighting and unyielding earlier on were now rolling in bed. The change in rhythm was a tad too quick! Mr Shao, may I remind you that this is the hospital. Even if you want to eat meat, you should find a suitable ce. The patients particrly those in the cardiology ward would not be able to ept such stimtion. Yuan Xuan inly said. In his heart, he was thinking that the next time, he really could not use the topic of wife to trigger this fellow. With the looks of it, even if Su Qingcheng refused, he would still surely force himself on her... Chapter 276 - You Havent Eaten for a Long Time. Take It Easy.

Chapter 276: You Havent Eaten for a Long Time. Take It Easy.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mr Shao, may I remind you that this is the hospital. Even if you want to eat meat, you should find a suitable ce. The patients particrly those in the cardiology ward would not be able to ept such stimtion. Yuan Xuans words caused Shao Yibais lips to twitch, and he smiled. Daisy, hang in there. Su Qingchengs face reddened. Hang your head! As she replied, she wanted to flip over to get up. However, Shao Yibais action was quicker than hers. The man leaped down from the bed and stood firmly, pulling Su Qingcheng into his arms in one smooth move. Are you this anxious? Hmm? Shao Yibai held the woman tightly in his arms and exerted force. Su Qingcheng was well aware that she was not apatible opponent of Shao Yibai. In front of so many people, she was angered and annoyed, but she dared not retaliate. Yuan Xuan, Ill leave the rest of the matters to you. Im going to eat meat! Shao Yibai cast Yuan Xuan a this is my day nce. Yuan Xuan shrugged and could not help but smiled, his gentle tone inly said, You havent eaten for a long time. Take it easy. Mu Chenyan saw Su Qingcheng signaling for help with her eyes, and she was somewhat anxious. She could only expose Shao Yibais tricks, but she could not stop him from taking her away. Shao Yibai, you... The moment Mu Chenyan opened her mouth, Yuan Xuan pulled his woman back and warned. Little Chenyan, if you have so much energy to care about other peoples business, then you should go home and exercise with me. When Mu Chenyan heard this mans shameless words, she snorted and inly said, Do you think Im a fool? Do you think that Im not aware that Shao Yibai has a ce in Qingchengs heart? I only want to remind him... While speaking, Mu Chenyan took out a box of little sheaths and tossed it to Su Qingcheng. I just bought it in the afternoon. Ill lend it to you first. Yuan Xuan was speechless. Su Qingcheng was also at a loss for words. Shao Yibai smiled gleefully and caught the box of little sheaths on behalf of Su Qingcheng. He then remarked, Little Chenyan is so considerate and is definitely much morepetent than that fellow Yuan Xuan. Looking at the packaging, he smiled gleefully, Speaking of which, my size is probably bigger than Yuan Xuans. Yuan Xuans eyes were like a vast expanse. Joker! That little thing of yours? Has it even gone through puberty? Shao Yibai gave a snort. Whether its big or small, Daisy knows! Su Qingcheng replied, Shao Yibai, would it cost you your life to not speak? Mu Chenyan also felt helpless regarding the exceedingly childish behavior disyed by the two men. She cast Su Qingcheng an I can only help you this much look as Shao Yibai dragged her away. Su Qingcheng staggered along. She resisted with her small hands, but she could not ovee Shao Yibai. Seeing them leave, Mu Chenyan turned around and said to Yuan Xuan, You better exin to me whats all that about. Shao Yibai went to look for Su Qingcheng and parked his car at the car wash center. The car wash boy said that he had never driven a Ferrari, so he secretly took the car out for a spin and got into an ident. That was what happened. Yuan Xuans tone was indifferent and nd. He had lent that car to Shao Yibai, but now it was wrecked by the car wash boy who had secretly driven it. He had even paid for that boys medical fees. Logically speaking, the one who was down on his luck should be Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan let out a sigh, You guys are really childish. You actually used this matter to scare Qingcheng. Im not surprised by whatever Shao Yibai does. He had an abnormal activity when Aunty was pregnant with him. I heard that he was rushing toe out, so he was delivered when he was only seven months plus. Speaking about giving birth, Yuan Xuan recalled that Mu Chenyan had actually stuffed that kind of ything in her purse, and his gaze turned chilly. Its your turn to give an exnation. On what? Mu Chenyan was puzzled, and her face that was fair like jade had an inexplicable innocence. Yuan Xuans gaze had never averted from this woman, and he put on an Ill see how youre going to bluff through it expression. Mu Chenyan suddenly recalled that box of little sheaths and chuckled bitterly. She could not be telling Yuan Xuan that she had been secretly consuming Marvelon and that it was best to not have a child within the first six months she was off the pills. Nothing. Its just that I have been feeling quite exhausted recently, so I dont want to have a child under this kind of circumstances. What Mu Chenyan had just said was also the truth. Once she was busy, she would not have the time to have proper meals. This kind of physical condition was not the state to have a child. She did not know whether she was being seized by a whim and suddenly thought of having a child of Yuan Xuans and hers. Then stop going to work. Yuan Xuan was a little annoyed, his cold gaze swept across Mu Chenyan. Dont mess around! I didnt say that I dont want. Its just that the timing isnt right. The woman had a fit and was slightly peeved. Mu Chenyan flung her arms and was prepared to leave. Yuan Xuan followed from behind with some resentment. Only Tian Qi was left behind, and he could not make heads or tails of the situation. ... Shao Yibai, where are you taking me? Su Qingcheng was forcefully pushed into the car by Shao Yibai. All her resistance was noted by Shao Yibai as she was like a mudfish burrowing in the mud. Shao Yibai, dont mess around, alright? Su Qingcheng pulled the door handle in the passenger seat and confirmed that it could not be opened. On the other side, Shao Yibai had begun to fasten his seatbelt. The man looked at Su Qingcheng and said in a low voice, Fasten your seatbelt too. I drive fast at night. Su Qingcheng was mad, and she pulled hard at the seatbelt. The car dashed like the wind all the way to the west. Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai was staying at one of the Yuan Familys mansion, but this was not the road to the mansion. Where are we heading to? Stop asking. Youd know once we arrived. Shao Yibai focused his attention on driving. His gaze was deep and alluring. Coupled with his tall nose and sexy lips, he was perfect to the extent that even women would feel inferior. Even though he was this bewitching, this man who had mingled in Capital Citys millions of flowers and had the title of the first male socialite had a ridiculous stubbornness. She was merely an orphan he had saved back then. Qiong Hai Holiday Vi weed this honorable guest in the middle of the night, and everybody hustled and bustled around. The second week Shao Yibai was in Luo Hai, he had discovered this nice ce. There was a hot spring spa, the surrounding was elegant and and there were not many visitors. It was fitting to bring a woman here for a holiday. He had considered bringing her here way earlier, but Su Qingcheng had been lukewarm to him and distancing herself from him. Hence, the matter dragged on and on. If it was not for that ident today, he might not have even been able to catch hold of this woman at all. He would not even get to overhear the secrets in her heart that were spilled out in times of desperation. Recalling the moment when she was crying andmenting that he was the only one whom she had loved in her lifetime, Shao Yibais mood was extremely pleasant. Mr Shao, is it the usual room? The waiter here seemed to be very familiar with Shao Yibai. The moment Shao Yibai entered, the waiter had already prepared his preferred room. Su Qingcheng nced around, and the people around also sized her up. Shao Yibai had visited this ce a couple of times, but it was the first time he had brought a woman along. Her features were beautiful except for the overly nd expression. Compared to the women elsewhere who were full of heavy make-up, this one before their eyes were the likes of a greenhorn. The man dragged Su Qingcheng along the long corridor andpletely ignored her protest. Shao Yibai, can you be rational? Su Qingcheng was a little angered. After Mu Chenyan finished her sentence, Tian Qi scratched his head and gave an upright smile. Yuan Xuan the baddie was still disying the bearing of a gentleman. He adjusted his cor, his slender fingers flipping the cor, and traces of smile filled the corner of his eyes. Mistress, dont ce me in the same vein of Shao Yibai.

Shao Yibai said in a righteous manner, and his body pressed onto hers, pushing her against the wall... Chapter 277 - The Moment the Word “Not” Was Out, Her Lips Were Sealed

Chapter 277: The Moment the Word Not Was Out, Her Lips Were Sealed

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng was scorched by Shao Yibais gaze. She blushed, and her heart pounded violently, the sound echoing through the sky... What filled her vision was the Shao Yibais hot body and that pair of crimson eyes of his. You... The moment she opened her mouth, her chin was fiercely pinched by the man. Daisy, do you think you can escape tonight? Su Qingcheng was not a young girl who had no experience. How could she not be aware of what he was going to do at this moment? Nheless, although she had experienced it, she was a little afraid of him this time, and she shook her head with a tremble. The thing is, Ive drunk too much wine with Mu Chenyan tonight. The smell of alcohol on me is too heavy... So? Can we... not... The moment the word not was out, her lips were sealed. Damn! This was the corridor! Su Qingcheng had noticed the hostess passing him the room key to room 1305. That room was still quite a distance from here. Shao Yibai... calm down... Listen to me... We cant... Let me take a breather and exin to you... Su Qingcheng wanted to protest, but her words were incoherent. Even she herself did not know what she was talking about. Her heart resisted, but her body had given the most honest reply. Shao Yibai did not give her another chance to reject. He dragged her along the corridor, kissing and embracing her non-stop... The two eventually made their way to the door of room 1305. When they were short of breath, only then did their lips separated. Shao Yibai looked down and scanned his fingerprint. It looked like he was a usual guest here, and the key card was only for Su Qingchengs use. Su Qingcheng felt that everything went dark, and the light from the corridor was blocked out by the door. Su Qingcheng could not see the room clearly. Therge French windows were covered with white sheer curtains, and the moonlight sneaked through the gap and shone onto the floor bright and clear, like the double white fish on a jade te. Right after that, Shao Yibai lifted her up and pressed her against the wall. A chill spread out from her back, and Su Qingcheng involuntarily arched. It was not known whether it was due to the alcohol, or whether it was really like what people said that after one had tried it once, not only the man would want it, but the woman as well. In particr, this was the man whom she clearly did not detest but had liked for many years. The desire she had for him was in effect, no lesser than him. It was just that she had too many scruples in her heart. Hence, when faced with this kind of situation, even a rational woman would act without a second thought. Id just let myself indulge for this time! Su Qingcheng told herself this. Her body gradually went soft, not resisting intensely anymore. She ced her hands on Shao Yibais waist and bore the pressure from him. Perhaps it was because he sensed her loosening up, Shao Yibai was secretly pleased. The passionate smooches went all the way down, leaving his marks everywhere. He pecked with some force, causing her to quiver again and again... Su Qingcheng moaned, her arms wrapped around his neck as she murmured his name softly, Yibai... Her voice was tender like a kitten that was waiting to be caressed, unlike her usual tough look. An abnormal flush of redness appeared on her face, her breathing was rapid, and the woman, whose heart was beating faster, began to actively respond to his kiss. Her tongue entwined with his, and the soft sound of the clicking of tongues was heard. The man could not bear such stimtion. Hisrge hands, who had been proper, could not be bothered now as he tore open the womans cotton T-shirt. Shao Yibai continued to hold her hands and ced his forehead against hers. Daisy, Im an ordinary man. All these years Ive been restraining myself and have not eaten any flesh. Now that Ive got you, I can finally break my abstinence. Su Qingcheng believed that both man and woman would get addicted to it. Shao Yibai had restrained himself for so many years. Once this kind of emotions erupted, it would be hard to quell... Then why dont you continue to contain it? Su Qingcheng panted. Youre already in my embrace. If I were to hold back, Ill go crazy! As the words faltered, he nted a kiss on her lips and sucked hard at it. He kissed and held her hands at the same time so that she could feel the change of it. A shudder passed through Su Qingchengs body. The desire that had long been suppressed in her heart exploded like a volcano eruption... ... Daisy, are you ready? The man was pressing against her waist and asking her amid the chaffing. Su Qingchengs eyes were shimmering with ayer of mist. She bit hard on her red lips and nodded quietly... The man leaned in... ... The frenzied force caused her to feel giddy. Daisy, do you know? After holding it in for so many years, do you know how passionate * is? Do you know? Do you know? Every time he asked, it would be apanied by a strong force... Again and again... Dizziness! Su Qingcheng felt difficult to breathe in such a rhythm, and she clutched onto the bedsheet. ... Shao Yibai, are you done yet... Su Qingcheng teared up as she gripped the fleshy part of his waist. She was well aware that he had been famished for long and would not end so soon. However, not letting her sleep for the entire night was something that even an iron body could not bear! Onest time! Darling, this will really be thest time... Su Qingchengs final consciousness was seeing the sky about to light up. The French window on the right side of the bed had white sheer curtains hanging on it. Leading out from the window was arge open-air hot spring bath. ... Mu Chenyan had also hardly slept the whole night. She was rushing to write the article, reporting about the case from themon peoples perspective. However, little did she expect that the next day her phone would ring right away after sending her article over to the news reporting department. Little Mu, how can we publish such an article? Chief Editor Lius voice sounded calm. Zhang Xin, who was standing by the side, heard this and sighed in his heart. If it were him, he would probably have been chewed out! Chief Editor Liu, all that Ive written is the truth. I didnt distort any of it. Moreover, Ive only mentioned about the current state of the Sun family and didnt talk about anything else. Mu Chenyan was neither servile nor overbearing, and she continued to maintain the necessary politeness. Even if thats the case, you know that in the background of this case, it also involves... Chief Editor Liu could not continue his words, but Mu Chenyan understood him. Its exactly because of that that in ordance with the integrity of the journalism profession, we have to rify the matter and give the people justice. Theyre not a brawling mob, but they were just trying to protect their rights. Mu Chenyans tone was slightly anxious. This was the first time Zhang Xin saw the usually good-tempered and cultured Mu Chenyan having an abnormal expression. I dont care! Whoever wants to report this case, they can just report it! The higher-ups have ordered to forbid the reporting of it, yet you actually followed in secret... Chief Editor Liu, if we were to be choosy when reporting cases, then sending Zhang Xin and me over here for the establishing of this department back then would have been meaningless, wouldnt it? Weve initially wanted to use this way to provide the right answers and guidance to public opinion. Now that Sun Xus case has been causing an uproar in society, why cant we report about it up front? The strong and fair argument put forth by Mu Chenyan caused Chief Editor Liu to lose his ground on the other side of the phone. After thinking about it, he let out a sigh and said, Little Mu, youre still young. Some matters are not as simple as you think it is. Do you know that the power behind that Financial Secretary, Nie Chao... Is the Yuan Family. I know. Mu Chenyan spoke in a light and casual manner. ... On the other side, Yuan Xuan had juste out from the Board of Directors meeting. Yan Jun went up to him and said while walking, Young Master, everything you asked for has been prepared. Yuan Xuan took the file from Yan Jun and skimmed through it. A smile emerged at the corner of his lips. The elegant man had a hidden murderous aura on him as his maic voice inly sounded, Disseminate these. Yan Jun nodded. Bring Mistress over for lunch. She has been worn out recently and has grown thinner. If this situation were to persist, how are we going to have little kids? Chapter 278 - The Manner That Mr Yuan Is In, Is It a Belated Marriage Proposal?

Chapter 278: The Manner That Mr Yuan Is In, Is It a Bted Marriage Proposal?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan received Yan Juns call saying that he was waiting for her at the entrance of her unit. Mu Chenyans curiosity was aroused. It was afternoon now. What trick was that man ying again? Yan Jun saw Mu Chenyaning out and noted the light makeup on her. Hemented in his heart that Mistress was naturally born with good features. Even with such a simple makeup, her charm could bewitch anyone in a second, and she really stood out from the crowd. Mu Chenyan had on her a white cotton T-shirt and long denim braces skirt with a pair of white shoes. Her legs were lean and straight, and her back was upright. Her high ponytail swayed about, adding a sense of youthfulness. She was not in the socialite dressing she used to be, and this made peoples eyes light up. Yan Jun waved at Mu Chenyan. Mistress, over here! Mu Chenyan nced about. She did not want her colleagues to see her being picked up in a Bentley. Mistress, Young Master has asked me to pick you up for lunch. Getting into the car, Yan Jun saw that Mu Chenyan had fastened her seatbelt and smilingly said. Yuan Xuan was very mindful. Presumably, it was because yesterday she had remarked that she was not eating well, hence this man came up with such an idea. The bellyful of exasperation she was filled with from the morning had made Mu Chenyan lost her appetite, hence she just let Yuan Xuan did whatever he wanted. ... Yuan Xuan made reservations in a restaurant that served Hong Kong cuisine. The food here had a lighter taste, and the environment was elegant. On the water stage in the corner of the restaurant, the saxophonist was ying a loving and melodious tune, while soft lights shone on the corner of the restaurant. This was a couple-seat. The table was draped with a light yellow tablecloth, and there was a bouquet of roses on it. The unopened bottle of wine was shimmering with a captivating reflection of light... Yuan Xuan seemed to have waited for some time. His forehead leaned against his hand, showing off his slender and fair fingers with its distinct joints. His head was lowered and his eyes shut. Mu Chenyan approached him, but her heart was beating fast. Having known him for more than ten years, she had never received any flowers from him. Is the bouquet of mboyant roses for her? Why are you still standing there? Did Mistress think that I was waiting for someone else? Yuan Xuan looked up and saw Mu Chenyaning closer and noted the thoughts she had, which was written all over her face. He took the bouquet of roses, smelled it, and used an apologetic tone. Mistress wouldnt mind this bouquet of roses havinge toote, would you? Mu Chenyan hated that he could see through everything yet still maintained the bearing of a gentleman, spouting those mild but coquettish words. However, she also could not refuse such a 360-degree, handsome-looking man being romantic for no particr reason. The manner that Mr Yuan is in, is it a bted marriage proposal? She pulled out the chair and took her seat. epting the flowers from Yuan Xuans hands, the corner of Mu Chenyans lips raised as she smiled ironically. What she had said was not wrong. In fact, back then, he had not proposed to her but had only mentioned it to Mu Feng. She had felt ecstatic and was preparing to be his Mistress. Even the various wedding decorations were all nned and done by her. What Mistress said really makes me feel ashamed. If this were a real proposal, with such a small ostentatious, I think Mistress wont say yes. While speaking, Yuan Xuan smiled and gestured to the waiter by the side to bring the wine opener. Although there was no proposal and no grand wedding, that did not change her fate of being pressed down by him every night. What was the point in thinking of a marriage proposal? Mu Chenyan blushed slightly. Taking the winess that Yuan Xuan had passed to her, she clinked her ss against his. Shouldnt Mistress say something? Yuan Xuan paused as his lips touched the ss. Mu Chenyans face reddened and had no idea where Yuan Xuan was heading. Ive been waiting on Mistress to sleep day and night. There may not have been anymendable oue but at least there was the effort. Mistress should at least give an acknowledgment? Yuan Xuan said with a straight face as if the one who had been at a disadvantage every night was him. Mu Chenyan was speechless and gave him a cold snort. Huh! Yuan Xuan was not irked, and he continued with his gentle and modest bearing. He lowered his voice, and his maic voice sounded. Looks like Ive not managed to satisfy Little Chenyan? How about Hubby tries again tonight? His eyes were filled with a tantalizing fire with a sinister aura, causing Mu Chenyan to be short of breath. Biting on her lips, she cursed under her breath, Youre always spouting nonsense. Are we still going to eat or not? Initially, her appetite was not good on her way here. Now that she was amused by him, her mood had greatly improved. What Mistress said is exactly right. Lets feast. The mans bearing was elegant as he motioned to the waiter. Yuan Xuan had ordered all the restaurants specialty dishes. In just a while, a dozen dishes were ced in front of Mu Chenyan, and she was dumbfounded. Fortunately, the portion of Hong Kong dishes was not huge, but even so she would not be able to finish all of them! Mistress can try a little of everything. We can have them packed up and brought back if Mistress cant finish. Ah Fu also likes the food here. As he spoke, Yuan Xuan began to peel the shrimp shell, dip the shrimp into the sauce, and give it to Mu Chenyan. The food tasted good and the texture was smooth. Mu Chenyan felt that they were sumptuous, and as she ate, she was also sneaking a peek at Yuan Xuan. He was not eating much, and the expression revealed through his eyes was the kind of tender affection he had when feeding Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet! He was caring for her like a cat! After lunch, Mu Chenyan felt that she had eaten too much. Her belly bulged, her stomach was warm, and her heart did not feel that downcast anymore. She was not allowed to publish the article, but she would coax and pester when she returned and think of another way. Little Chenyan, whats bothering you? Yuan Xuan asked all of a sudden. During the entire time, she was eating absentmindedly, not as aggressive as Little Ginger Fur Ball would. Nothing. Just a tiny issue at work. Mu Chenyans expression changed. She did not know whether she should tell Yuan Xuan about it. The case she was following this time might implicate Yuan Tangzhong. That was his second uncle after all. Although for the time being, Yuan Tangzhong was not directly connected to it but judging by the circumstance, if the Yuan Family had not used force, it was impossible that there would be pressureing from various parties. Yuan Xuan smiled. Mistress has ced too much importance on your work. Mistress needs to get enough rest too, striking a proper bnce between work and rest. Theres always a turning point in everything. If you need my help... No, thanks. Mu Chenyan hurriedly cut him short. If she were to involve him in all her affairs, what would her colleagues thought of her? Then Ill have Yan Jun send you back. Yuan Xuans tone was nd. Taking the flower in one hand and holding the womans waist in another, he whispered, Shao Yibai discovered a good ce to go to. He took Miss Su there to experience it and had great sentiments upon returning. Should we go and give it a try too after your menstruation is over? Mu Chenyan had no idea where did Shao Yibai took Su Qingcheng to, but looking at Yuan Xuans face, she could guess that that Young Master from Capital City must have gotten his fill and boasted about it. No wonder Su Qingcheng applied for sick leave this morning! Huh! Your brain is just filled with lust... Mu Chenyan gritted her teeth as she looked at the man before her smirking, and she felt a little annoyed... After he had sent Mu Chenyan off, Yuan Xuan sat in his own Koenigsegg. This high-performance Koenigsegg sports car had been with him for many years. Picking up the phone, Yuan Xuan dialed a number. On the other side, Yan Jun watched Mistress entering the office building hastily. ... When Zhang Xin noticed that Mu Chenyan was back and that there was a bouquet of roses with her, he was despondent. The young fellow dared not ask questions but only nced at Mu Chenyan from the corner of his eyes as he sighed in his heart. How could this kind of woman have no pursuers? He had been thinking too naively. If he could perceive her beauty, the others were not blind too. Half an hourter, Mu Chenyans phone rang. Mu Chenyan frowned seeing Chief Editor Lius name. It was fine that he did not allow the article to be published, but why was he harassing her endlessly? Chief Editor Liu? Mu Chenyan tried her best to keep a calm tone. Little Mu, that article of yours can be published in thete afternoon. Quickly edit the article and see if the content needs any more amendment. Chapter 279 - Mistress, Miss Zhao Is Here

Chapter 279: Mistress, Miss Zhao Is Here

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Chief Editor Lius was so courteous that Mu Chenyan was confused. Chief Editor Liu, didnt you say that the article cant be published... Little Mu, after giving it some thoughts, I feel that what youve said makes perfect sense. The professional ethics of a reporter is not to be afraid of those in power and to expose the truth. Whats more, what youve written is from the perspective of the victim, and you didnt distort the facts, so why cant it be published? Chief Editor Liu sounded sonorous, which was a total opposite from how he spoke this morning. Mu Chenyan could not make heads or tails of the situation for a moment. Since thats what youve said, then Ill just publish it. There isnt any part that needs amendment. Ive already revised it many times yesterday. Hanging up the call, Mu Chenyan was still uncertain. Little did she expect after half an hour her article was published, it would stir up a hugemotion on the Inte! There were overwhelmingmentsing from various parties. Through Mu Chenyans article, the people learned about the tragic death of the leader of the fight with the armed forces a few days ago and how woeful the family situation was. The truth behind the case was suddenly a hot topic. At the same time, the organization department and the Commission for Discipline Inspection received reports from numerous informants. The two departments email inboxes were spammed with evidence of Nie Chao breaking thew and scandalous photos of his messy nightlife. There were even a few photos showing Sun Xu working as a waiter at the scene. This time, the Commission for Discipline Inspection was in chaos! On the other side, Xiao Jiang went to Leles grannys house to retrieve the reading pen. After the technology department made aparison, they confirmed that the recording was Nie Chao talking about the military pensions with a few colleagues in the club. Public opinion changed in an instance. Initially, the case was about to be buried, and everything would be peaceful after another two days. However, with the emergence of a report, a document, and a recording now, Nie Chao was unable to justify himself! In the days that followed, every department was bustling about. Sun Xus murderer was captured in City A, and it was said that the arrest had happened in a certain celebritys music concert... Mu Chenyan watched the instant reversal of the plot and was confused. Su Qingcheng had been busy with the case after returning, and it was only after the murderer was convicted that she could finally take a break. Chenyan, wanna go have some skewers tonight? Su Qingcheng came to invite Mu Chenyan. Her article was impressive, it had been a turning point for the case. At the same time, all her spections were verified, and they were able to acquire that crucial recording pen. Nie Chao was prosecuted by the justice department, and Su Qingcheng felt that she should treat Mu Chenyan to a meal. Mu Chenyan looked at her watch and saw that it was time to get off work. In her heart, she was also craving for those barbeque skewers and beer. Lets go. Your treat! Mu Chenyan looked at Su Qingchengs neck under the scarf. Seeing the hickeys that had not disappeared even after a few days, she gave her a mischievous smirk. Her phone rang just at that opportune moment. Chenyan, are you free? Wen Yas voice sounded frail. Wen Ya, shouldnt you be discharged from the hospital already? Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed. Since Wen Yas incident, she had only gone to the hospital once due to her hectic schedule. Yes. Wen Ya hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, Are you free toe and pick me up? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan immediately answered, Wait for me. Im already off work. Ill head over there now. When Su Qingcheng heard that Mu Chenyan had other ns, she waved her hands to bid goodbye. ... Sheng Yu Hospital. Wen Yas private duty nurse had packed her things for her. The woman who had been lying on the hospital bed had a paleplexion, her leg was still wrapped in a cast. She sat in the wheelchair and stared at Mu Chenyan. When Mu Chenyan rushed over and saw Wen Yas pitiful look, she was greatly saddened. She was discharged from the hospital, but Yuan Zhe could not even fulfill his duty as a husband. Xue Meiwei had said that she would send a maid over, but after waiting for a long time, no one appeared, hence Wen Ya could only call Mu Chenyan to ask for her help. How are you feeling? Mu Chenyan helped her into the passenger seat and kept the wheelchair in the trunk. Im alright, except that I cant go out for some time. The saying goes that it takes about a hundred days for bones and muscles to heal. Id still have to rest even after the cast is removed. Wen Yas tone was in, but her eyes were filled with grievances. The Yuan Familys second son had treated this woman such indifferently. Mu Chenyan felt dejected and did not know what to talk about. The car entered the Yuan Family Mansion, and in front of Peace Mansion was the ck Maybach that Yuan Zhe often drove. It turned out that Yuan Zhe was at home! Mu Chenyan got down and called for the maids toe help move Wen Yas stuff. When Xue Meiwei came out and saw Mu Chenyan, her expression turned unsightly. She reprimanded Wen Ya in a low voice, Why didnt you call home? If the outsiders knew that Chenyan was the one who had brought you back, they might think that were abusing you... I called home, but no one picked up. Wen Ya had indeed called thendline, but not a maid was around to answer the call. Your father had an argument with Yuan Zhe, and the maids were trying to dissuade them, so how would they hear it? Xue Meiweis tone was impatient. She looked at the busy Mu Chenyan and was disgruntled. If it wasnt for this mistress of Yuan Xuan, how would there be such trouble, and how would Zhe Zhe be beaten by your father? Hearing that, Wen Yas heart skipped a beat. She looked at Mu Chenyan, not knowing what had happened. Seeing that everything had been moved out from her car, Mu Chenyan smilingly said to Xue Meiwei, Second Aunt, my task here is done. Wen Ya needs some rest, so Ille and see her in a few days time. Xue Meiwei could hardly keep her cool. Seeing Mu Chenyans calm andposed look, she coldly sneered. Chenyan seems quite busy, so theres no need for you to concern yourself of Wen Yas situation. However, Second Uncle would really have to treat you to a feast. Have mercy on us, the great reporter Mu! Mu Chenyan was stunned by her remark. Her rtionship with Xue Meiwei had never been hostile. She was an elder, and even if she was to make some sarcasticments, Mu Chenyan could never give tit for tat and retort. She felt upset, but she could only suppress her anger. Holding it in, another thought came to her mind. Xue Meiwei had mentioned her upation, hence it probably had something to with Nie Chaos case that was being reported in the news these few days. The woman smiled. What does Second Aunt mean? Ive always been respectful of Second Uncle and have not offended him. Whats more, as a reporter, the people and matters that I report have to do with those who abused and broke thew. This has nothing to do with Second Uncle. I wonder why did Second Aunt suddenly make such a statement? Mu Chenyan spoke decently, and this put Xue Meiwei in an ufortable position instead. Xue Meiwei did not care about Mu Chenyan but led the maids to move Wen Yas stuff inside. She then said, If youre thinking of bing a good wife and working in collusion to take down the Yuan Familys second son, youre still a long way off! Wen Ya did not quite understand her mother-inws words, and she felt embarrassed as it was she who had asked Mu Chenyan toe over. Chenyan, Mother probably didnt mean anything bad. When Ive recovered, Ille and look for you to thank you. When Xue Meiwei saw that Wen Ya was still conversing with Mu Chenyan, her expression turned cold. Wen Ya, arent youing in yet? Do you intend to turn your back against your family and help an outsider? Wen Yasplexion paled in an instance. She turned her wheelchair around and looked back to express her apologies to Mu Chenyan as she entered Peace Mansion. Although Mu Chenyan felt aggrieved, she did not tear up over such a petty matter. Sending Wen Ya off with her gaze, she then turned around and drove her car to the garage. The moment she arrived at Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu greeted her. Her face had an unnatural expression as she whispered, Mistress, Miss Zhao is here! Shes been waiting for some time. Chapter 280 - Run Away? Yuan Xuan Heard Her Actually Using That Word!

Chapter 280: Run Away? Yuan Xuan Heard Her Actually Using That Word!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Miss Zhao that Ah Fu was referring to was obviously Zhao Ruoxin. Mu Chenyan passed her backpack to Ah Fu to help her bring it upstairs. She saw that the influential person was really sitting there on the sofa in the hall. Her legs were crossed while there was an arrogant smile on the corners of her lips, just like that time when Mu Chenyan saw her talking to Xia Tao in the coffee shop. Shu Qinger stopped hiding in front of Mu Chenyan ever since she revealed the exact details to her because covering up would be unnecessary. She was the real Shu Qinger whenever Yuan Xuan was absent. Do you really have so much spare time toe here? If youre looking for me, forgive me for being unable to apany you! Mu Chenyan did not beat around the bush. She bluntly expressed that she did not wee her. Mu Chenyans manner was cold. She had realized long ago not to befriend Shu Qinger because she knew about her animosity towards her. Moreover, since the other party was also lusting after her husband, it was unnecessary to be friendly towards her. Thus, she simply allowed her natural instincts to appear. Shu Qinger sneered when she saw that Mu Chenyans impatient face. She tly said, I didnte here looking for you! Im waiting for Brother Xuan because I have something very important to tell him! As she spoke, Shu Qinger paused and waited for Mu Chenyans response. Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows while looking rather annoyed and scornful. She sternly red at Shu Qinger but remained silent. Qinger looked somewhat disappointed because she had initially assumed that Mu Chenyan would panic. She continued, I came to thank him. When he previously said that he was going to send me to Italy, I argued with him because I was unwilling to go. Now, however, hes promised to contact a local gallery and hes even invested several million for me. The stern look on Mu Chenyans face remained. Once Mr Shao leaves after autumn, Brother Xuan has also promised to give me the mansion that hes currently staying in. How could I not thank him? Shu Qinger joyfullyughed after she had finished speaking. She did note here to show her gratitude but she was clearly here to disy her strength and show off instead. She had originally heard some depressing news from Xue Meiwei only to return and obtained this information as well. Mu Chenyans heart was momentarily stifled with mncholy. Yuan Xuan had previously told her that he wanted to send Qinger away. However, it looked like the situation had changed when she heard Qinger saying these things now. It was getting increasingly difficult for her to understand Yuan Xuan. On one hand, he acted indifferently towards Qinger when he was in front of her, but on the other hand he was secretly devoted to her. The matter that involved him contacting the art gallery and paying several millions presumably happened because Qinger had acted like a spoiled child. Was he really willing to pay several millions? When she recalled how Yuan Xuan had discarded the suit in disgust that day, it was possible that he was intentionally doing this for her to see. That mansion was also nearby the Yuan Family Mansion. When he allowed Shu Qinger to live in that mansion, was he actually nning to live a luxurious life with multiple wives? Mu Chenyans heart was filled with annoyance at Shu Qingers blunt attitude. Her stern face waspletely devoid of even a hint of emotion when she said, In the future, if youre looking for Yuan Xuan because you have some business with him, make a phone call or just call him over to Upper Mansion. You dont have toe to Hibiscus Garden! Frankly, I dont like looking at you! I hate how youre openly lusting after Yuan Xuan even more! Shu Qingers expression changed and became terribly contorted when she heard this. Was Mu Chenyan already throwing a tantrum although she had yet to evenunch her attack? This sequence was wrong! ording to Shu Qingers impression, Mu Chenyan was previously a simple-minded girl. When did she be a sharp-tongued person to verbally attack others? When she interacted with Mu Chenyan in the past, she merely thought of her as a naive woman who only knew how to pester Yuan Xuan and trail him. In other words, she tiresomely coaxed Yuan Xuan to gain his favor. Later, she discovered that Yuan Xuan actually liked Mu Chenyan very much although he spoke sarcastically to her on the surface. The heart of this man who always thought carefully was already inclined towards Mu Chenyan long ago. Shu Qinger prepared to retaliate upon realizing that her territory trespassed. However, she discovered that she was powerless because Yuan Xuan had already decided to marry Mu Chenyan! Thus, Qinger lost her mind and did numerous insane things... Mu Chenyan, youre so shameful! Me, lusting after Yuan Xuan? He was originally supposed to be mine, okay? You stole the life that I was meant to have! Before you came and lived with the Yuan Family, the person who spent every day with him was me! If you hadnt returned from Xi Fan and desperately pestered Yuan Xuan while I was abroad, do you think that you would be living in Hibiscus Garden today? Mu Chenyan saw that Qinger was behaving arrogantly simply because she was Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart. She indifferently said, I know that you care about the role of being the main woman in Hibiscus Garden. You can take it anytime if you like because I dont care about it as much as youd imagine! While she spoke, Mu Chenyan saw that Shu Qinger was extremely doubtful. She continued, I never nned to live my entire life here while growing old with Yuan Xuan. Hence, I dont necessarily care about your concerns! However, my mother is the only remaining member of the Mu Family and shes still under Yuan Xuans control while my brothers whereabouts are unknown. Thus, I simply have no choice! I want to remind you that before I leave the Yuan Family, you still have to acknowledge my status as Mrs Yuan! Although youre rushing to take my ce, you would have to wait for me to leave first. Therefore, you dont have to frantically run over and threaten me right in front of my face! Mu Chenyans words had rendered Qinger speechless after she criticized her. After staring nkly, she was just about to rise up in revolt to refute her before her expression suddenly changed in an instant. She gently said, Brother Xuan, youve returned! Yuan Xuan had one foot outside the door and another foot inside. He had clearly heard the womans words... Mu Chenyan grew slightly apprehensive when her eyes met Yuan Xuans gaze. The things that she had said earlier were not entirely true but she saw that the man had a rather chilly look on his pale face... ... The guilty woman became extremely obedient at night. After her shower, she sat on the bed and stared nkly. Yuan Xuan had not lost his temper at all. On the contrary, he politely and considerately chased Shu Qinger away. He did not say much to her while they were eating and simply went upstairs to feed Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet after they were done with their meal. Mu Chenyan sat on the bed and thought to herself. On one hand, she felt rather guilty because of what she had said. Her words were rather severe because she was certainly upset at Qinger at that time. If she really did not care about Yuan Xuan at all, how could she be stupid enough to fight with someone like Shu Qinger? On the other hand, this was her current situation. However, she was unwilling to live her entire life filled with doubts. If the rtionship between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family was verifiedter, Mu Chenyan could not imagine how things would conclude between her and Yuan Xuan. While her thoughts were still in disorder, Yuan Xuan came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his body. The water droplets dripped off his hair and rolled down his abdomen. His figure was unbelievably perfect. Although she had experienced physical intimacy with him numerous times, Mu Chenyan still could not tear her eyes away from his body. It did not matter that this was pointless. After all, she might as well get a good look because she would not necessarily get to see it again next time. Mu Chenyan confidently stared because her gaze could not depart from his perfect torso. Yuan Xuan was originally filled with rage but when he saw that Mu Chenyan was currently staring at him like a love-struck fool, he wondered if she really found him that attractive. So youve always had this thought! Yuan Xuans tone finally changed one night. It was no longer intentionally modest and gentle anymore. On the contrary, mes secretly rushed through his eyes while his voice was rather stifled and resentful. Mu Chenyan consciously supported her body with her hands when she saw his questioning gaze while his dark figure approached her. She briefly retreated but could not avoid his dominance... No... Its not... That... I wasnt going to run away... She knew that she was at fault but the mans breath had also thrown her off. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt confused when she was pressed down underneath Yuan Xuans body. She kept rambling because she had no clue about what she wanted to express. Run away? Yuan Xuan heard her actually using that word! Chapter 281 - Don’t Be Afraid, Baby. I’m Giving You a Whole New Experience

Chapter 281: Dont Be Afraid, Baby. Im Giving You a Whole New Experience

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Numerous days filled with warm affection could not influence a cold-hearted person like her. Run away to where? Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse. Hisrge hands lifted her chin while his eyes were tinged with rage. Do you dislike your status as Mrs Yuan so much? Were you prepared to submissively hand it over to someone else anytime? Mu Chenyan was suddenly out of breath. She pressed against his chest to prevent him from approaching. She persistently wanted to turn her little face toward one side but he was controlling her lower jaw... Answer me! I dont know! Youre being so stubborn! Yuan Xuan was in a bad mood. This is normal! Mu Chenyan was unwilling to give in either. They took turns one sentence at a time until Yuan Xuans pent-up anger reached the top of his head. Ill have to properly discipline you and your sharp tongue! As he spoke, the man violently kissed and suppressed her in an invasive manner. Mmm... Mu Chenyan reached her hand out to push him away. She resisted him while simultaneously avoiding him. These actions provoked Yuan Xuan. However, he never nned to force her. After all, his heart could not wait to love her. He had merely said those things in the spur of the moment. The man felt as though his heart was stifled with worries that she would do as she said. His mind was ridden with the fear that she would be ready to leave anytime. Youre mine! Youll always be mine! Yuan Xuans voice was demanding yet deste. Mu Chenyan could not stop her entire body from briefly trembling when she heard the emotions that were hidden behind the mans tone. Her lips were already enduring it as he proceeded with his next instance of recklessness. She had unintentionally provoked him but it was difficult for her to get out of this situation now. She was unwilling to admit that she was wrong. However, she would only suffer if this went on... During her moment of hesitation, Yuan Xuan rubbed her chin with his fingers. Her breathing became uneven as he moved upward and slid past her lips. Mu Chenyan, Im going to leave a mark on you that can never be erased so that youll always remember how I made you feel! Yuan Xuan suddenly became extremely sensitive. He abruptly exerted more force with hisrge hands before he tore off the thin, silk spaghetti strap nightgown on her body... When she noticed that he was being rough, Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and firmly bit his finger. She only let go when she saw him frowning. The corners of the womans lips provocatively curled up before she said, Does it hurt? Ill leave my mark on you first! Vixen, do you know that youre ying with fire? His Adams apple bobbed and he hoarsely panted while he spoke in a hoarse voice. Mu Chenyan stayed silent but a provocative look seeped through her gaze. Her hands tightly gripped the sheets while she spared no effort in controlling the sensations inside her body. He could see that her eyebrows were closely furrowed because she was controlling herself. Yuan Xuans heart burned more intensely. This woman was the only person who could make him feel so carefree and unbridled. He would lose all control every time he touched her. He became greedier as he sucked on the sweetness in her mouth. His anger was substituted with arousal... Mu Chenyan quietly groaned in pain while her body unconsciously arched towards him. Chills ran down her smooth back when she felt him touching her sensitive skin. She shuddered against his palm for some time... Yuan Xuans pupils werepletely filled with mes of lust because he could not resist her allure... Unwilling to wait another moment, he tightly hugged her waist before their bodies were closely pressed together at the same time when he drew her in. Little Chenyan! Remember this feeling... His deep and husky voice echoed beside Mu Chenyans ear. His breathing was uneven and hot. How could you? How could you leave me? The mans voice sounded unusual. It seemed to wander as he repeatedly asked, Would you actually do that? Tell me! Tell me... Mu Chenyans lips were tightly sealed. She endured his unreasonable force as he roughly panted while he interrogated her... The man was rotten to the core. He saw that she remained silent while her lips turned red after they were vited. However, when she inhaled some fresh air, he suddenly lowered his head and covered her lips! The man only stopped muchter. He raised his head before he ripped her nightgown that had been thrown aside. He bound both of her hands before he used a piece of fabric to cover her eyes at the same time. Huh? Yuan Xuan, you... What are you doing... Her surroundings suddenly descended into darkness. Mu Chenyan panicked when he restrained her hands. Dont be afraid, baby. Im giving you a whole new experience! ... This was a freaking whole new experience indeed! He was merely using his body to subdue her! Mu Chenyan could not see her surroundings, and her hands were restricted. She could only sense his jerking motions and the shameful words that he spoke beside her ears... Little Chenyan gritted her teeth while soft moans escaped her throat. However, the aroused man could not stop. ... The entire event stopped after it had gone on for an unknown length of time. Mu Chenyan felt as though her entire bodys bones had been dismantled... Yuan Xuan... At the end, the woman begged, Let me go... ... After the deed was done, Yuan Xuan tightly embraced his wife and quietly murmured beside her ear, Little Chenyan, you dont know how long Ive loved you! Mu Chenyans body trembled before her muscles slowly rxed. She had finally broken free from the repeated periods of stiffness. The word love was rarely mentioned between them. For some reason, an impulse to cry stirred in Mu Chenyans heart after Yuan Xuan had finished speaking. She deeply buried her head in the crook of the mans arm while her body uncontrobly trembled... Little Chenyan, I dont love you any less than you love me! I wont allow you to talk about leaving... Yuan Xuan was unusually perceptual tonight. This was not the first time Mu Chenyans words had hurt him. However, he knew that Mu Chenyan had misunderstood him numerous times as well because he was neither good with words nor was he good at exining things. Yuan Xuan firmly embraced the woman in his arms. He wanted to use his bodynguage to tell her that he was actually greatly affected by every single one of her words and actions. Mu Chenyan nodded in his embrace. When she recalled the things that she had said, she realized that she had certainly gone a bit too far. If she did not care about Yuan Xuan, would she have gotten carried away and allowed Shu Qinger to annoy her? Im sorry, Brother Xuan... Mu Chenyan firmly bit her lip before she buried her face in the crook of his arm again. ... The old mansion at Peace Mansion Completely exhausted, Wen Ya watched as her husband disentangled himself from her body before he turned around and got off the bed. He was naked and his hair was messy when he walked to the balcony to smoke. There were faint bruises on Yuan Zhes face when he returned from Yuan Tangzhongs house. The maid said that Old Master had lost his temper in the afternoon and struck Eldest Young Master. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order to Capital City was held up because Yuan Zhe was involved in Nie Chaos case. Thus, it would be surprising if he did not hit him! At that time, Wen Ya had realized that the situation might have been somewhat unfavorable. Yuan Zhe would use her to vent his anger every time he was in a bad mood. He would either hit or scold her. Moreover, there was another type of abuse now. The man who had experienced tasting her also liked to vent his anger through domination... This was slightly inconvenient because one of Wen Yas legs was in a cast. However, this did not affect the mans spirits. Yuan Zhe used his manly strength to torment her until she was half dead! Since there had never been any love for her in his heart, this activity was pure physical interaction. However, this was a form of mental torture to Wen Ya. Yuan Zhe finished smoking and returned seeing his wife lying in bed. Her face was expressionless, the flushes on her body had faded and she seemed to be shrouded by an icyyer. He was filled with anger. He came forward and squeezed Wen Yas chin. His tone sounded rather mean when he said, Why did you let Mu Chenyan bring you home in the afternoon? Wen Ya reacted very indifferently. No matter what she said, this man would still regard everything as a challenge. Yuan Zhe, your father bullied you but you were too afraid to retaliate. Hence, youve wholeheartedly decided that you wont rest until youve killed me, right? Wen Yas smile was extremely sarastic yet miserable. This is just like when you were forced to marry me in the beginning! Chapter 282 - One Person’s Life or Death Could Affect the Safety of Everyone Around Them

Chapter 282: One Persons Life or Death Could Affect the Safety of Everyone Around Them

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Zhe saw Wen Yas extremely condescending little face, his own tone became terribly cold as he asked, What do you know? Wen Ya sneered before she said, I dont think that Id understand if this had only happened once or twice. However, do you really think that I wouldnt get it after such a long time? All the members of the Yuan Family are devils! Annoyed, Yuan Zhe flung the cigarette butt out of his hand. His body was naked when he walked towards the front of the bed and red at Wen Ya with a vicious gaze. Who was giving in to their lust underneath the devils body earlier? Hmm? Wen Ya bitterly turned her face away and shut her eyes. She did not want to see this mans face. Yuan Zhe refused to let her have her way. He suddenly grabbed her by the chin and turned her face towards him as a sinister smile appeared on his face. Youre scared of admitting that Ive subdued your body despite your hatred and resentment for me, right? The tears in the corners of Wen Yas eyes rolled down her cheeks before she revealed her tant hatred for him. Yuan Zhe, you scold and hit me simply because of the unfairness that fills your heart. You cant surpass Yuan Xuan in the outside world but youre tormented by your father at home. Youre aplete coward. Aside from venting your anger on me, what else can you do? Burning rage filled Yuan Zhes heart when he heard this and noticed that the woman had actually struck many of his sore spots. He increased the force in his hand, hurting Wen Ya until she quietly groaned and used her little hand to push him away. You devil! Wen Ya cursed. Yuan Zhe sneered, Youre right, Im a devil. Im going to make you realize tonight that a real demon wont be as merciful as I was before! Yuan Zhe left after he said that. Momentster, he returned from the study room carrying a box. Wen Ya had no idea what Yuan Zhe was doing. Her gaze was rather fearful when she looked at this man who seemed to had lost his mind. It took her a while to realize that the box actually contained Yuan Zhes secret stash of items! Wen Ya was aware that Yuan Zhe perversely fooled around outside. However, she did not know that Yuan Zhe actually possessed these specialized items at home. The womans entire body trembled. Moreover, she was too afraid to make any sudden movements because of the cast on her leg. She fearfully nced at Yuan Zhe while her voice quivered as she asked, What are you trying to do? A bloodthirsty smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Zhes face when he noticed that Wen Ya was terrified and panic-stricken. Mrs Yuan, you havent tried this yet, huh? I purposely prepared it for you! Wen Ya suddenly realized that this man had prepared these things when she was in the hospital while he was waiting for her to be discharged. They had ignored this matter all this while for so many years. Since this man had previously gotten a taste of such a pleasant experience, perhaps he would repeatedly use this method to torment her in the future. No... Get lost! Wen Yas voice changed from fear when she saw those terrifying torture instruments... ... Mu Chenyan was doted on by Yuan Xuan throughout the entire night. She was unaware that Wen Ya was also experiencing something simr in Peace Mansion but she was being tortured throughout the night instead. Mu Chenyan woke up at dawn when her husband gently kissed her with his thin lips. Her drowsy eyes were still blurry when she turned over. The French windows pale yellow curtains looked unusually gentle under the misty light of the early morning sun. During the early summer of May, sunlight pierced through the cracks and glimmered inside, warming the morning breeze as well. Mu Chenyanzily stretched and looked upward before she saw Yuan Xuan taking his clothes out of the closet. Yuan Xuans great figure truly looked attractive no matter what he wore, such as these khaki casual pants and a white T-shirt. All year round, his closet was filled with white shirts that were always of an abnormally clean shade. One could never tire of looking at him in these clothes despite seeing him wear it numerous times. Youre not going to work today? Mu Chenyan quietly asked when she saw that he was not wearing his formal wear but had chosen a soft white cotton T-shirt instead. Frankly, there was something else that she kept wanting to askst night. What would they do about Qinger in the future? Yes, Ive chosen a gallery for Qinger that will disy her artworks during an art exhibition. It was rare that Yuan Xuan would be willing to exin some of the situation to her. Mu Chenyan lowered her eyelids and did not pursue the question any further. ... Wu Huais expression darkened when he saw Mu Chenyan in one of the corners in the office. Wu Huai never mentioned it but he was inwardly unhappy that Mu Chenyan had secretly went over and followed the case behind his back. Big Brother Wu... Mu Chenyan knew that she was at fault. She had purposely avoided Wu Huai and distanced herself when she saw him several times. However, she forced herself to greet him when they identally ran into each other and she could not avoid him today. In a muffled voice, Wu Huai said, Miss Mu, I admire you very much because you made a name for yourself after one case! Since she had be famous after one case, more people in the news industry now paid attention to this rookie reporter. She was brave enough to boldly publish Nie Chaos case despite being previously obscure. A case that was initially supposed to be hushed had instantly took a favorable turn instead! Mu Chenyan could not tell whether Wu Huai was mocking or praising her. She hung her head and lowered her eyes before she replied Wu Huai, saying, I cant tell if Big Brother Wu is kidding... Nie Chaomitted suicide in the Detention Centerst night! Wu Huais expression became rather frosty while his gaze was bone-piercingly cold when he suddenly said that. Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded because this result was beyond her expectations. However, you dont have to feel sorry for him because those who are unjust are doomed to destruction! You dont know how many crimes people like him havemitted. This was bound to happen sooner orter. You could say that he deserved the things that happened to him today! Mu Chenyan was stunned by the news of Nie Chaos suicide. Wu Huais face looked rather suspicious when he nced at her expression. Miss Mu, dont you know who helped you publish that article? Mu Chenyan shook her head. Why are you asking that, Big Brother Wu? Didnt Chief Editor Liu willingly publish it? I dont know how brave Liu Haonan actually is, but do you think that hed be self-aware enough to do it if he didnt have anyone supporting him in the background? Hmph! As an upright person, Wu Huai had always been somewhat disdainful towards people who acted as the situation required. Well, it doesnt matter if you dont know. I just wanted to remind Miss Mu not to allow people to manipte you and be unaware of that. Wu Huais gaze swept across Mu Chenyan when he said that, as though he wanted to find some clues from her expression. The intelligent woman suddenly thought of something but she did not dare to mention it in front of Wu Huai. Big Brother Wu keeps saying unnecessary things but Im merely relying on my instincts to take action... Mu Chenyans attitude had already made it difficult for Wu Huai to respond. Wu Huai sighed, Miss Mu is still inexperienced. This old case met a bitter end three years ago. I dont want Miss Mu to be sucked into a whirlpool again before youll be pushed towards the heart of the struggle... Mu Chenyan could sense Wu Huais sincerity. The woman rubbed the tip of her nose and faintly said, Chenyan will always bear the things that Big Brother Wu said in mind! Mu Chenyan thought of Wu Huais words throughout the entire afternoon. She had been manipted indeed. However, the person with a target on his chest was Yuan Xuan... It was needless to say that aside from Yuan Xuan, there was no one else in Luo Hai who could put Chief Editor Liu in such mind-numbing danger that would force him to publish that news article. Nie Chaos suicide was probably one of the assumed suicides that were presently widespread. One persons life or death could affect the safety of everyone around them. When she thought of Xue Meiweis attitude towards her, she could imagine that in the eyes of the Yuan Familys second son, she was now considered as a thorn in his flesh... However, Mu Chenyan was not afraid. Nheless, she was really unhappy about being unconsciously manipted by Yuan Xuan. This man was truly a scoundrel with a murderous intent behind his smile. The woman became slightly restless before it was time for her to leave the office. Fortunately, her phone rang just in time. When Mu Chenyan saw that Wu Ze was calling her, her mood instantly brightened. At times like this, Wu Ze always resembled a ray of sunshine that dispersed the thick clouds in her heart... Chapter 283 - Shen Clan Mansion

Chapter 283: Shen n Mansion

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Chenyan, are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner together? Wu Zes magnificent tone suddenly made Mu Chenyan feel close to him. Without any hesitation, Mu Chenyan quietly said, Yes, itll be my treat this time! Mu Chenyan smiled at the person on the other line as she spoke. Wu Ze nodded before he teased her, saying, You can treat me if you insist. In fact, you should be serious about treating me since youre already an important reporter whos famous everywhere! ... Mu Chenyan took Wu Ze to the stall that Su Qingcheng had previously brought her. She ordered beer and barbecued skewers. Oil droplets continuously glistened on the surface of themb skewers, barbecuedmb kidneys, pork belly, roasted chicken wings, and drumsticks while their aroma dispersed in all directions. Meanwhile, everyones taste buds were filled with the original vors of the enoki mushrooms, potato slices, and golden fried bun slices. Wu Ze came from an aristocratic family. Although he was awyer, he had actually never eaten such street food. He curiously took in his surroundings. Although they were simple, the environment was still considerably clean. Simultaneously, he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt before he took a big gulp of his beer like the man beside him. The dry but crisp vor excited him. He grabbed another handful of skewers. They tasted delicious and were even better than the luxurious delicacies that he had eaten. The man praised her, saying, Little Chenyan, I shouldve asked you to treat me to such a nice ce long ago! Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan gently sighed before she smiled and replied. I assumed that youdin about this shabby ce since youre used to dining in five-star hotels. Mu Chenyan scanned her surroundings and saw a big burly man who had raised his leg up on his chair while he stupidly smiled at the female television anchor on his phone, a fat older man with a stubbly chin, young graduates who had just gotten off from work, and groups of students... People from all walks of life gathered at this humble street stall. Although someone with Wu Zes status and dressing looked out of ce among them, he happily enjoyed his food nheless. I dont know where you got that idea. I think that experiences like these are much better than those in five-star hotels! I really feel that I missed out on the earlier parts of my life. There are so many beautiful experiences in life but I and the people like me have let these things slip past us. Thats truly a shame! Wu Ze spoke sincerely from his heart. Due to his background, he had studied in a private aristocratic school in both junior and high school. When he went to study in Ennd for his university, he only encountered schrs and gentlemen. People like them would never have joined him to chug beers and stuff themselves with skewers. When he came home after his graduation, he quickly made a name for himself in the legal industry. Moreover, since he was from the Wu Family, when would his clients who wanted him to handle theirwsuits ever invite him to a roadside stall even if they were going to buy him a meal? He would truly have never experienced things like this if it was not for Mu Chenyan. The handsome and famouswyer ate without caring about anything else. He rapidly devoured the meat skewers and swallowed them while faint beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Mu Chenyan could not help butughed when she saw this. Eat slowly, no ones going to take that from you. She passed a piece of tissue paper to Wu Ze as she spoke. For some reason, Mu Chenyan trusted Wu Ze with all her heart. However, this feeling had nothing to do with love. Perhaps this was because Wu Ze was by her side during the darkest moments of her life. Therefore, this trust would follow Mu Chenyan for the rest of her life. After he had eaten for a while, the handsome Attorney Wus face turned slightly red. Frankly, his alcohol tolerance was never very high. However, he drank two bottles of beer. Was he intentionally trying to get drunk? Wu Ze said, Im truly in awe of you, Little Chenyan. Youre probably aware that I invited you out for a meal today because I took on Sun Xus familys case. I want to get justice andpensation for Mrs Sun! Mu Chenyan was not shocked when she heard this because Wu Ze was always providing legal aid. The Sun Family had definitely sought out legal aid since they had already turned out like this. The Sun Familys case is actually very simple. It mainly required a courageous and righteous person whos brave enough to handle it. Regarding this matter, Im actually sincerely in awe of my brother. Although hes an ugly person with a bad temper, he still has a sense of justice! While he was speaking, Wu Ze paused before he pretended to sound mysterious as he said, He knew that you had left with Su Qingcheng long ago! Mu Chenyan was inwardly slightly shocked. Nheless, this was not surprising. If Wu Huai had not tacitly agreed to this, how could she have followed that case so smoothly? However, how could he called a handsome older man like Wu Huai an ugly person with a bad temper? Mu Chenyan could not help butughed. Brother Wu Huai is really a positive person! However, the one who helped me get through to those connections and sent the manuscript was... It was that b*stard Yuan Xuan! Wu Ze interrupted Mu Chenyans sentence while a proud and sinister smile appeared on his face. Mu Chenyan blushed. Apparently, everyone could guess that! The Yuan Family Mansion has been chaotic. These few years, Yuan Xuan has constantly been at odds with his second uncle in secret. Nie Chaos case hit one of the Yuan Familys second sons nerves. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order to Capital City was held up because of this. Yuan Tangzhong was unwilling to ept this. Therefore, you have to be careful next time, Wu Ze worriedly said. Someone wanted to intentionally frame you during Shu Qingers case three years ago. I dont want you to be involved in anymore mishaps! Big Brother Wu, I actually wanted to tell you that Qinger is still alive... Mu Chenyan felt that Shu Qingers incident was simrly one of Wu Zes worries as well. Thus, Mu Chenyan felt that Wu Ze should know about this. Wu Ze widened his eyes and looked at Mu Chenyan in disbelief. How is that possible? Mu Chenyans tone was indifferent when she exined the whole sequence of events to Wu Ze. Shu Qinger is now staying in Luo Hai, and Yuan Xuan bought her an art gallery for her to have an exhibition! Upon hearing this, Wu Ze sighed, Yuan Xuan is someone who treasures his friendships. Since Shu Qinger had saved him in Ennd once, perhaps that woman is using this as leverage against Yuan Xuan. A man is always afraid of owing people favors, more so if that man is Yuan Xuan. When Mu Chenyan heard this, she realized that Wu Ze probably knew some inside information. She tugged at Wu Ze somewhat emotionally and said, What exactly happened that year? Wu Ze could tell that Mu Chenyan only knew certain parts of the story. He quietly said, Yuan Xuan was actually at risk during those years when he was studying in Ennd. He encountered dangers numerous times from time to time because someone wanted to harm him! There were two incidents that were more dangerous than the rest. I saved him the first time but I got shot because of that. He was kidnapped another time. Qinger happened toe to Ennd to visit him at that time so the kidnappers took both of them away. That incident was slightly stranger because those three kidnappers didnt seem to want Yuan Xuans life. On the contrary, they were waiting for someones orders. Moreover, they didnt seem like skillful professionals because they revealed their goal too quickly. While the police were in the midst of the search and investigation process, the kidnappers panicked and nned to kill them to silence them. Qinger became frantic at that moment. It was rumored that she used her body to dy those kidnappers! Wu Ze paused and nced at Mu Chenyan when he reached this part. He lowered his voice before he continued, The kidnappers assumed that Qinger was Mu Chenyan when they were raping her. One of the kidnappers said that itd be worth it even if he died because he managed to have his way with the youngdy of the Mu Family that day... Mu Chenyans entire body chilled to the bone! She waspletely unaware of this matter. She had probably just arrived in Ennd at that time. However, she needed to briefly returned home because the Mu Family was facing trouble. She was absent during that period of time when Yuan Xuan was facing danger. Later, Yuan Xuan merely casually mentioned the issue and told Mu Chenyan that it was just a robbery. Moreover, she was unaware that the kidnappers actually wanted to kidnap her. No wonder Qinger hated her to the bone and mentioned that it should have been her to experience the misfortune... Later, Shen Muqiu brought a team of armed personnel and saved Yuan Xuan before the police. This also marked the beginning of Yuan Xuan and Shen Muqiu crossing paths with each other. Shen Muqiu? Mu Chenyan realized that she was basically living inside a vacuum. Apparently, she knew nothing about the things that were happening around Yuan Xuan. This was simply because Yuan Xuan was too good at isting her. Wu Ze smiled, saying, It looks like Yuan Xuan was really unwilling to tell you anything. Shen Muqiu was a descendant of Luo Hais Shen Family. That year, Luo Hais Shen Family was suppressed and ruined due to political reasons. Thus, the descendants of the Shen Family formed an underworld organization while they were exiled overseas. As a descendant of the Yuan Family, Yuan Xuan certainly needed to return to Luo Hai. Thus, Shen Muqiu could also return to Luo Hai sooner orter as long as he held on to his lifeline, Yuan Xuan. Conversely, Shen Muqiu also resembled a string in Yuan Xuans hands now. Although they were engaged in business matters, he was also the reason why Yuan Xuan could smoothly and easily deploy great forces. The more Mu Chenyan heard, the greater her heart trembled. Are you saying that Yuan Xuan also holds power over the underworld organization? Wu Ze nodded. Yuan Xuans thoughts were too profound. I advised him long ago not to get too close to someone like Shen Muqiu but the first thing that he did when he returned from abroad was to buy the Shen n Mansion! Shen n Mansion? Thats Liu Li Vi! Chapter 284 - Zheng Shuyan

Chapter 284: Zheng Shuyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was surprised when she had heard that Liu Li Vi was the Shen n Mansion. The few days she had spent in Liu Li Vi, she spent them on turning it inside out. However, there were a number of rooms and storerooms that she was forbidden to enter by Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan told her that the previous owner had left behind some things that he did not wish to be broken. She was curious. Yuan Xuan had always been very territorial, not other people could even enter the Liu Li Vi, but he kept the possessions of the previous owner. Where is Shen Muqiu right now? Mu Chenyan asked. If it were before of Shen Muqiu, it was understandable why Yuan Xuan would keep the possessions in Liu Li Vi. Shen Muqiu is mysterious. Hes vicious and decisive, as well as daring in his assassination attempts. Hes got a bit of fame going around in the underground gangsmunity. Everyone from his organization was well-trained and disciplined. Shen Muqiu had organized several huge cases, even the Interpol were looking for him. Yuan Xuan and him were close, I think only Yuan Xuan could contact him at this point. Mu Chenyan was confused. She had been in the UK for several years, but she did not know Yuan Xuan was in contact with such an organization. There were so many things she did not know! Chenyan, I cant tell you how many more secrets Yuan Xuan is holding, but one thing is certain, Yuan Xuans love toward you... Wu Ze exined as he looked at Mu Chenyan, whose face blushed. I know... ... In Yuan Tangzhongs study room in the Peace Mansion. Yuan Tangzhongs secretary had her golden-rimmed sses on while she reported the investigators findings to Yuan Tangzhong. Yuan Xuan bought a gallery for Miss Zhao on Ougao Road! Yuan Zhe stood on the side, not daring to interrupt. In the past few days, his old man was not happy with him. What on earth is Yuan Xuan doing? I think, theres something wrong with that Zhao Ruoxin! Yuan Tangzhong said with a hint of worry in his voice. He nced at Yuan Zhe, who finally piped up. Father, lets not care about that Zhao Ruoxin! Mu Chenyan ruined our n this time, I cant just swallow this! Yuan Xuans weak spot is Mu Chenyan, I really want to get rid of her... Any time Yuan Zhe brought up Mu Chenyan, he would be instantly enraged! His cruel face was filled with hatred. Had Mu Chenyan not reported on Sun Xu, a case that would be buried would not have resurfaced. You idiot! Hearing that, Yuan Tangzhong scolded, You think Mu Chenyan is easy to handle? Do you take Yuan Xuan as a rice-eater (TN: Chinese idiom. To use someone of being useless to the point that their only contribution at home was to eat.)? Yuan Zhe knew that the moment he speaks would be the moment he was yelled at. He lowered his eyes and stopped speaking. You think Yuan Xuan was the same as a few years ago? The same Yuan Xuan who would allow you to threaten him with Mu Chenyan? Where would Mu Chenyan get her materials from? The one behind her is Yuan Xuan himself! Yuan Tangzhong sat in his chair, took a breath, and continued reprimanding. You useless thing, if it wasnt for Nie Chaos suicide taking responsibility for everything, do you think you would sit here peacefully? In a few days, someone wille from the Capital City to investigate this, so control yourself! You cant touch Mu Chenyan, especially now! Secretary He poured Yuan Tangzhong a cup of tea. Teacher, lets not me Young Master for now. Its already in the past. Weve arranged everything to handle the person from the Capital City, there wont be any major issues. Yuan Tangzhong nodded and told the secretary, Secretary He, arrange something else for me. I want to take several days of sick leave. In this period of time, dont entertain any guests! Order my staff to be vignt. Before the people from Capital City leave, dont do anything rash! Secretary He nodded after receiving the order, then looked at Yuan Zhe carefully. After being admonished, Yuan Zhe was discontented. Father, Nie Chaos money-making schtick is not this, its his own fault that he fell on this! Furthermore, the money he made was not for me. Do you think Mu Chenwu would listen to us without the money to support his team? Yuan Tangzhong red at Yuan Zhe as he warned, You cantpletely trust Mu Chenwu. Using him to fend against Yuan Xuan was one of our backups. You need to be careful about this, we cant go that close with Mu Family! Yuan Zhe nodded and said in a low voice, If it wasnt for Wu Ze, Yuan Xuan wouldve died in the UK, and none of this messy stuff wouldve happened... Hmph! How dare you bring these things up! Yuan Tangzhong almost threw the teapot in fury. If you didnt act without authorization, Yuan Xuan wouldnt have hated the second family of Yuan so much! His previous target was just Mu Feng, your people attempted to assassinate Yuan Xuan and failed. Not to mention, he managed to find out that it was you who ordered it, what an absolute imbecile who is sessful at doing nothing but mess up! Yuan Zhe did not dare to speak further, Secretary Hemented, Teacher Yuan, please dont get angry, Young Master just did something wrong out of impatience... Yuan Tangzhong waved his hand and sighed. Lil He, youve been with me for so many years, you should know how seriously this Nie Chao thing affects me! Ive waited for so many years, but on the verge of the Capital Citys transfer order, this happens. If my ungrateful child has half the intelligence that you have, I wouldnt need to deal with this stupid issue... Teacher, dont feel bad, there are plenty of chances in the future! Lil He pushed her sses andforted him softly. Yuan Tangzhong sighed and took a look at Yuan Zhe, who was behaving as if he was still being scolded, and said, Dont you go outside and make things worse in the near future. Stay at home and apany that girl Wen Ya! ... After a few days of rest and recovery, it was time for the cast on Wen Yas legs to be taken off. Yuan Tangshuo contacted the orthopedician on his payroll to take the cast off of her. It was not Zheng Shuyans first time at Yuan Family Mansion. Led by the maid, he managed to arrive at the garden of Peace Mansion. Wen Ya was sitting on a wheelchair as she was reading a book underneath a trees shade. After the cast was taken off, Wen Ya would be free to walk about with a crutch. Wen Ya! Zheng Shuyans voice was so soft, it made thedy on the wheelchair drop her book in surprise. Zheng... Zheng Shuyan... Why are you here? Wen Yas tiny face was filled with fear and panic as she looked around anxiously. The maid went to her and picked up the book. She said, Mistress, this is the doctor that Third Master contacted to remove your cast! After Yuan Zhe pushed her off the stairs, he did not send her to the military hospital out of fear that Old Mistress would see through him. However, Yuan Tangshuo still sent someone to remove the cast. Wen Ya was a little shaky, her eyes darted around quickly but avoided Zheng Shuyan. She told the maid, Send me to the front hall, let Doctor Zheng perform the procedure there! The maid was going to push the wheelchair, but Zheng Shuyan interrupted, Allow me! The man was pushing the wheelchair, his body exuding a faint scent of body wash mixed with disinfectant, calming Wen Ya down. Years ago, in the new year party in the UK, Wen Ya saw a boy whose eyes could speak. His body carried a faint smell of disinfectant. Smilingly, he offered his hand to Wen Ya, saying in an attractive melodic voice, Im Zheng Shuyan, second year in the medical school... Those hands were smooth and fair like white jade, as well as warm and dry! Now, those same pair of hands were removing the cast on her legs, a seething hate escaping his usually calm and collected face. Chapter 285 - Either the Fish Die or the Net Splits

Chapter 285: Either the Fish Die or the Net Splits

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya dismissed her maid and struggled to get up so she could get Zheng Shuyan some water. Zheng Shuyan was in his white robe, the jade-like man suddenly pulled Wen Ya over and held her in his arms... Wen Ya! Stop avoiding me! Zheng Shuyans lips swept past Wen Yas earlobe, bringing to her a hint of his masculine touch. Wen Ya shuddered as her voice gave in. Zheng Shuyan, let go of me, Yuan Zhe is home, if he realizes what youre doing, youll be dead... Wen Ya had suffered ten thousand points of shock as she attempted pushing Zheng Shuyan who only tightened his hold. She paused and started clinging onto the warmth he provided as she stopped struggling. Little Ya, leave with me, please? I dont want to see you hurt anymore. Seeing you like this, I want to murder someone... Wen Ya cried. Her tears streamed down her cheeks freely, but she did not dare to make any sound. She bit her lips to keep herself from crying out loud, but her body began to pulse as she suppressed her crying. Shuyan, I... Im not clean... please... please dont do this... Zheng Shuyan suddenly let go of Wen Ya and lifted her tear-covered face. Little Ya, I dont care. Youre always pure and saintly in my heart! Having said that, unable to control his own emotion, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips hungrily! Wen Ya was scared. She struggled a little, but her body was not strong enough to break away from his hegemonic kiss. Zheng Shuyan did not care. He kept plucking the fragrance between her lips and teeth greedily, his tongue ying with hers, not leaving her any respite. With that, Wen Yaid limply, allowing Zheng Shuyan to harvest her... The woman who had long been denied of kindness slowly began to respond to him, her hands grasping tightly at the cloth around his waist, her breath growing heavy... After an indeterminate amount of time, Zheng Shuyan finally let go of the woman who had been robbed of her oxygen. He carefully ced a kiss on her forehead. Little Ya, when I heard the dean saying he was sending someone to remove the cast for you, did you know how excited I was? Wen Ya cried uncontrobly again. Seeing her tears, Zheng Shuyans heart broke. Little Ya, why are you avoiding me? Do you know, my main reason for giving up staying in the UK ande to Luo Hai was to find you... Zheng Shuyan hugged Wen Ya tightly, his hands caressing the top of her head. Wen Yas sobbing had turned into a wordless sniffle. Zheng Shuyan carried her onto the couch. After a while, when her emotion was calmer, she said slowly, Lets end it between us... Yuan Family is not someone you want to cross, I dont want to involve you... Little Ya, how could I leave when youre staying in this hell hole yourself? If I leave, you shoulde with me. Divorce that bastard, fly away with me! Hearing that, Wen Ya chuckled bitterly. She looked up at Zheng Shuyan, her face determined. Im not leaving. I want to stay, I want to see these demons getting the karma they deserve! My child... cannot die in vain... If I live in pain... they cannot live in paradise... As she said that, Wen Ya smiled wildly. She clutched at Zheng Shuyans arms fervidly. Shuyan, I cant involve you in this. If Yuan Zhe found out, he could do anything... Zheng Shuyan snorted. He said lightly, You think Im afraid of him? Just as he said that, a set of footsteps came from outside, Wheres my wife? The maid said, Young Master, the doctor removing her cast was just here... Wen Ya knew it was Yuan Zhe. She pushed Zheng Shuyan away and begged, Please leave, quickly. You cant let Yuan Zhe see you. I dont care if he beats me to death, I cant have him involve you... Zheng Shuyan shook Wen Yas hand unhurriedly. Little Ya, dont worry! He stood up, stretching the creases on his outfit with aposed coolness, and a well-knit collectedness reappeared on his person. When Yuan Zhe hade in, he managed to catch Zheng Shuyans cold eyes. Yuan Zhe was startled as he looked at Wen Ya. Her face was dry, but it was apparent that she had just cried. The mans face darkened. Wen Ya, whats happening? Hmm? Yuan Zhes voice had always been full of murderous intent that may have been trained on him due to his being bullied. Every time Wen Ya heard him, she was scared. Shuddering, she could not look at Yuan Zhe with her red eyes, but Zheng Shuyan spoke up. Mr. Yuan, is it? I am Wen Yas college friend and am now an orthopedician under Third Master Yuans payroll! Zheng Shuyans words were neither condescending nor humble, his tones were cool, exuding a hint of tranquility in his behavior. It could be that he was a doctor and had trained to carry thatposure, Yuan Zhe could not help but be stifled by the man. He had wanted to look for something to me Wen Ya, but now his attention was wholly focused on this man. Oh? Is that so? Little Ya was crying because she met an old friend? Yuan Zhe sat beside Wen Ya and ced a hand on Wen Yas shoulder. She was pulled into his arms as he ced his other hand onto her injured leg. Putting a little more force, Wen Ya squealed painfully as her tears threatened to stream down her cheeks again! Zheng Shuyan held his fist tight. His veins popped and he snorted coldly. Wen Ya was just telling me that her injury was because she fell. I checked it. How much strength would you need to hurt yourself like this? Zheng Shuyan paused as he observed Yuan Zhes expression before he continued, I think Third Master Yuan must have trusted me enough to send me here, so I wont spread the news that someone who married into the Yuan Family was suffering domestic abuse... You! Yuan Zhes face contorted into a furious barbarity. This gutsy doctor dare threaten me! Mr Yuan, dont be too irritated. Dont worry, I wont say anything. After all, the second house of the Yuan Family is currently surrounded by unrest... Zheng Shuyan finished his words and looked at Wen Ya sadly. He said sadly, Wen Ya, Ill be back to check on your injury next time. Please take care of yourself. Wen Ya understood Zheng Shuyans unsaidment. She nodded. Thank you, Doctor Zheng! Zheng Shuyan took the tools he brought and told Yuan Zhe, Mr Yuan, I shall take my leave! Yuan Zhes eyes were spitting venom as he watched while Zheng Shuyan walked away. He lowered his head and saw that his woman looked longing. A surge of resentment filled his heart as he choked Wen Yas chin. Still yearning for him? Wen Yas gaze was chill and emotionless, she shed him a condescending smile. Yuan Zhe, your biggest weakness is yourck of confidence! Hes just a college friend, and this is your reaction? What, do you care about me or something? Compared to what you do outside, I think Im pretty clean! Yuan Zhe had never seen Wen Ya behave this way. He gritted his teeth and threatened, If you dare to cheat on me, I will let the Wen Family die without a grave to hold them! Hearing that, Wen Yaughed maniacally. Yuan Zhe was startled by herughter. After she hadughed enough, she wiped away the tears and spat out through gritted teeth, Then I should thank you! For so many years, I have tolerated a life not meant for humans or ghosts alike, thats all because of Wen Family! You have ruined my whole life! You kept using Wen Family to threaten me, now let me tell you, I cant wait for the day that you all died! If you torment me again, I will leak everything Ive endured all these years to the public, so either the fish dies or the splits! Yuan Zhe looked at the crazed expression of the woman. He thought that the second house of Yuan Family was under plenty of strife at the moment, so it was not wise to fight the woman head-on. He smirked. Nice, your wings have matured! Good, I like a Mrs Yuan like this. How could I y a game that either the fish dies or the splits? Didnt our game just start? Saying that, Yuan Zhe carried Wen Ya in his arms and sprinted upstairs into the bedroom on the second floor. Wen Ya could definitely see the lust in his eyes. The weak woman closed her eyes, surrendering to her fate... Chapter 286 - Seeing Her Suppress Her Desire Would Only Make Him Want to Bully Her More

Chapter 286: Seeing Her Suppress Her Desire Would Only Make Him Want to Bully Her More

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zheng Shuyan returned to the hospital and rested a little while at the parking bay. He touched his lips, where Wen Yas smell still lingered. Facing his mirror, he smirked as he thought about the way Yuan Zhe treated Wen Ya, and his face contorted into a ferocious version of it. A woman who I am afraid of melting within my own palm was treated as such by that monster. Zheng Shuyan punched his steering wheel. The horn honked loudly for a few times! His heart was howling, Yuan Zhe, I wish you could go and die! It was the peak hour after work, so there were no operations to attend. Yuan Tian had packed up in advance. When her car passed by Zheng Shuyans, she saw the cold glint in the eyes of the man inside and began to mutter to herself. Yuan Tian was smart, she had a sudden sh of an idea. She parked her car beside him and alighted joyfully. She knocked on Zheng Shuyans car window. Doctor Zheng? Zheng Shuyan was shocked. He was still releasing the hatred in his heart, the interruption had him flustered. Seeing it was Yuan Tian who was outside his window, Zheng Shuyan felt a little awkward for a while. He lowered his window and switched his expression into a smiley one. Doctor Yuan, can I help you? Yuan Tians face was pink as she wore her ttering face. I want to treat you to dinner! Zheng Shuyan was still seething hate at Yuan Zhe, he was ufortable seeing any Yuan Family members at all, how would he have the mood to have dinner with any of them? I have a date tonight, so maybe not. Zheng Shuyan refused politely. Even though his tone was cordial, his cold gaze was not something Yuan Tian would miss. As one of the youngest chief doctors in the military hospital, Zheng Shuyans appearance had always been the talk among female doctors and nurses alike. However, Yuan Tian was an exception. She had always treated Zheng Shuyan like a senior brother. On this day, her intention of asking him out was indeed to ask for a favor, but before she could say anything, it was struck down! Thedy was a little upset, she whined while pouting. Doctor Zheng, youre such a puritanical pretty boy, your coldness was even spilling out of your orifices! Zheng Shuyan had always thought the third house of Yuan Family, the Yuan Tangshuo and Yuan Zhuan siblings were decent people. He was only harboring resentment from his encounter in the Yuan Family Mansion, and it showed in his lukewarm treatment of Yuan Tian. Hearing Yuan Tiansint, he felt slightly guilty and came out of his car as well. Doctor Yuan, I do have an appointmentter. What if we do this another day, Ill treat you to a dinner? Yuan Tian was shorter than Zheng Shuyan by half a head, she raised her calf and got closer to him. Actually, I have a favor to ask! ... Every summer, Mu Chenyans body would decide to bezy. She had taken a shower and hid in the shade at the balcony on the third floor. Yuan Xuan was still out, he had beente to arrive home recently. Whenever Mu Chenyan was bored, she would run upstairs to y with Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball. The two furkids were growing really fast, Little Ginger Fur Ball whose body had been obese had grown to over half-feet long. The third floor was no longerrge enough for them to jump around. The pair of cats were readily escaping outside led by the male Briquet. However, whenever Mu Chenyan came, the two cats would run back and start mewing at her. Ginger, when you grow up, Ill let you marry Briquet, what do you say? Mu Chenyan lovingly told Little Ginger Fur Ball while grabbing two lumps of fat on its body. Meow meow... Little Ginger Fur Ball did not reply, but Briquet did so joyfully. Mu Chenyan smiled. Briquet, you are so enthusiastic in replying. Are you afraid that you might not get a wife? Hmm? Her voice waszy and attractive. After her shower, she had only worn a thin sundress leisurely. She looked bewitching without being sleazy, gentle without being weak. Her smooth, nourished skin was so supple, it felt like water could gush out of it. Mu Chenyanid on the recliner. Unbeknownst to her, her stance was taken in entirely by the man at the staircase. After Yuan Xuan had bathed, he arrived at the third floor. Quietly, he stood by the staircase, watching Mu Chenyan as she conversed with the two cats. The imagery of that scene was deeply embedded in his head, he would still recall the image while standing at the same ce yearster... Meow meow... Cats were more sensitive than humans. Sensing its daddy who hid in the corner, Briquet rushed over happily. It was then that Mu Chenyan noticed the man. She wanted to stand up, but Yuan Xuan approached her with long strides before pressing his hand on her shoulder. Dont move! Pressed against the recliner, Mu Chenyanid back down. Her face was scarlet red as she whispered, When did you arrive home? You made no sounds at all! Even though Yuan Xuan had bathed, there was still a scent of alcohol around him. The first stage of the oil field was done today, I was at the celebration party. As he was saying that, hisrge hand caressed her torso... Mu Chenyan was incredibly sensitive. She shuddered and shied away from him, but he grabbed her in one swoop. Hiske-like eyes were filled with the fire of desire. I want to try it here! Mu Chenyan moaned, her tiny body was overpowered to the point of difficulty in breathing. Careful, someone might see... It was not that she did not want to do it, she just felt it was weird to do it on a balcony. Who? I only see the cats! Yuan Xuan ignored her shyness, allowing his hands to rip her clothes off of her. Her white underwear was clutched in his hand as he snickered... Mu Chenyan did not understand the situation. The scenario changed too abruptly, she was just here to y with the cats! Yuan Xuan, please, can we go back to the bedroom? Maybe men like excitement more. Since doing it there thest time, it had been lingering in Yuan Xuans mind. With a perfect opportunity like this, how would be miss out on the fun? Didnt you say you want to marry Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball? Yuan Xuan teased as he explored fervently on her body, causing chills to go down her spine repeatedly. Mu Chenyan did not understand how this had anything to do with Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball. Continuing his plunder, he mumbled while panting, Briquet is so naive, there are so many things for it to learn through watching! So, what Im doing now is only showing Briquet how to love Little Ginger Fur Ball... Before Mu Chenyan could respond to that, her body had been turned over. When she realized she was bent over and her nude back was facing her man, she clutched at the cotton seat nervously... Yuan Xuans hands caressed her back before he inspected hisnd once more with his lips, which stopped near her ear. Are you ready? Mm... She could not help but to moan... He loved seeing Mu Chenyan like this. She had been teased and tickled until her body was on fire, but she still withheld her desire, maintaining the reticence of her virginity... Seeing her suppress her desire would only make him want to bully her more... Little Chenyan, you made me so obsessed! Tonight, theyve arranged for somedies. The moment I saw them, I only wanted to rush back and im you... No wonder! The reason the situation had evolved so quickly was because of that! So why didnt you... do... it there? Mu Chenyan was controlled by him, she no longer knew if she had any control of her body... Ive been pampered by you! I only want you! Yuan Xuans sweat dripped on her back. Wen Ya dismissed her maid and struggled to get up so she could get Zheng Shuyan some water. Zheng Shuyan was in his white robe, the jade-like man suddenly pulled Wen Ya over and held her in his arms... Wen Ya! Stop avoiding me! Zheng Shuyans lips swept past Wen Yas earlobe, bringing to her a hint of his masculine touch. Wen Ya shuddered as her voice gave in. Zheng Shuyan, let go of me, Yuan Zhe is home, if he realizes what youre doing, youll be dead... Wen Ya had suffered ten thousand points of shock as she attempted pushing Zheng Shuyan who only tightened his hold. She paused and started clinging onto the warmth he provided as she stopped struggling. Little Ya, leave with me, please? I dont want to see you hurt anymore. Seeing you like this, I want to murder someone... Wen Ya cried. Her tears streamed down her cheeks freely, but she did not dare to make any sound. She bit her lips to keep herself from crying out loud, but her body began to pulse as she suppressed her crying. Shuyan, I... Im not clean... please... please dont do this... Zheng Shuyan suddenly let go of Wen Ya and lifted her tear-covered face. Little Ya, I dont care. Youre always pure and saintly in my heart! Having said that, unable to control his own emotion, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips hungrily! Wen Ya was scared. She struggled a little, but her body was not strong enough to break away from his hegemonic kiss. Zheng Shuyan did not care. He kept plucking the fragrance between her lips and teeth greedily, his tongue ying with hers, not leaving her any respite. With that, Wen Yaid limply, allowing Zheng Shuyan to harvest her... The woman who had long been denied of kindness slowly began to respond to him, her hands grasping tightly at the cloth around his waist, her breath growing heavy... After an indeterminate amount of time, Zheng Shuyan finally let go of the woman who had been robbed of her oxygen. He carefully ced a kiss on her forehead. Little Ya, when I heard the dean saying he was sending someone to remove the cast for you, did you know how excited I was? Wen Ya cried uncontrobly again. Seeing her tears, Zheng Shuyans heart broke. Little Ya, why are you avoiding me? Do you know, my main reason for giving up staying in the UK ande to Luo Hai was to find you... Zheng Shuyan hugged Wen Ya tightly, his hands caressing the top of her head. Wen Yas sobbing had turned into a wordless sniffle. Zheng Shuyan carried her onto the couch. After a while, when her emotion was calmer, she said slowly, Lets end it between us... Yuan Family is not someone you want to cross, I dont want to involve you... Little Ya, how could I leave when youre staying in this hell hole yourself? If I leave, you shoulde with me. Divorce that bastard, fly away with me! Hearing that, Wen Ya chuckled bitterly. She looked up at Zheng Shuyan, her face determined. Im not leaving. I want to stay, I want to see these demons getting the karma they deserve! My child... cannot die in vain... If I live in pain... they cannot live in paradise... As she said that, Wen Ya smiled wildly. She clutched at Zheng Shuyans arms fervidly. Shuyan, I cant involve you in this. If Yuan Zhe found out, he could do anything... Zheng Shuyan snorted. He said lightly, You think Im afraid of him? Just as he said that, a set of footsteps came from outside, Wheres my wife? The maid said, Young Master, the doctor removing her cast was just here... Wen Ya knew it was Yuan Zhe. She pushed Zheng Shuyan away and begged, Please leave, quickly. You cant let Yuan Zhe see you. I dont care if he beats me to death, I cant have him involve you... Zheng Shuyan shook Wen Yas hand unhurriedly. Little Ya, dont worry! He stood up, stretching the creases on his outfit with aposed coolness, and a well-knit collectedness reappeared on his person. When Yuan Zhe hade in, he managed to catch Zheng Shuyans cold eyes. Yuan Zhe was startled as he looked at Wen Ya. Her face was dry, but it was apparent that she had just cried. The mans face darkened. Wen Ya, whats happening? Hmm? Yuan Zhes voice had always been full of murderous intent that may have been trained on him due to his being bullied. Every time Wen Ya heard him, she was scared. Shuddering, she could not look at Yuan Zhe with her red eyes, but Zheng Shuyan spoke up. Mr. Yuan, is it? I am Wen Yas college friend and am now an orthopedician under Third Master Yuans payroll! Zheng Shuyans words were neither condescending nor humble, his tones were cool, exuding a hint of tranquility in his behavior. It could be that he was a doctor and had trained to carry thatposure, Yuan Zhe could not help but be stifled by the man. He had wanted to look for something to me Wen Ya, but now his attention was wholly focused on this man. Oh? Is that so? Little Ya was crying because she met an old friend? Yuan Zhe sat beside Wen Ya and ced a hand on Wen Yas shoulder. She was pulled into his arms as he ced his other hand onto her injured leg. Putting a little more force, Wen Ya squealed painfully as her tears threatened to stream down her cheeks again! Zheng Shuyan held his fist tight. His veins popped and he snorted coldly. Wen Ya was just telling me that her injury was because she fell. I checked it. How much strength would you need to hurt yourself like this? Zheng Shuyan paused as he observed Yuan Zhes expression before he continued, I think Third Master Yuan must have trusted me enough to send me here, so I wont spread the news that someone who married into the Yuan Family was suffering domestic abuse... You! Yuan Zhes face contorted into a furious barbarity. This gutsy doctor dare threaten me! Mr Yuan, dont be too irritated. Dont worry, I wont say anything. After all, the second house of the Yuan Family is currently surrounded by unrest... Zheng Shuyan finished his words and looked at Wen Ya sadly. He said sadly, Wen Ya, Ill be back to check on your injury next time. Please take care of yourself. Wen Ya understood Zheng Shuyans unsaidment. She nodded. Thank you, Doctor Zheng! Zheng Shuyan took the tools he brought and told Yuan Zhe, Mr Yuan, I shall take my leave! Yuan Zhes eyes were spitting venom as he watched while Zheng Shuyan walked away. He lowered his head and saw that his woman looked longing. A surge of resentment filled his heart as he choked Wen Yas chin. Still yearning for him? Wen Yas gaze was chill and emotionless, she shed him a condescending smile. Yuan Zhe, your biggest weakness is yourck of confidence! Hes just a college friend, and this is your reaction? What, do you care about me or something? Compared to what you do outside, I think Im pretty clean! Yuan Zhe had never seen Wen Ya behave this way. He gritted his teeth and threatened, If you dare to cheat on me, I will let the Wen Family die without a grave to hold them! Hearing that, Wen Yaughed maniacally. Yuan Zhe was startled by herughter. After she hadughed enough, she wiped away the tears and spat out through gritted teeth, Then I should thank you! For so many years, I have tolerated a life not meant for humans or ghosts alike, thats all because of Wen Family! You have ruined my whole life! You kept using Wen Family to threaten me, now let me tell you, I cant wait for the day that you all died! If you torment me again, I will leak everything Ive endured all these years to the public, so either the fish dies or the splits! Yuan Zhe looked at the crazed expression of the woman. He thought that the second house of Yuan Family was under plenty of strife at the moment, so it was not wise to fight the woman head-on. He smirked. Nice, your wings have matured! Good, I like a Mrs Yuan like this. How could I y a game that either the fish dies or the splits? Didnt our game just start? Saying that, Yuan Zhe carried Wen Ya in his arms and sprinted upstairs into the bedroom on the second floor. Wen Ya could definitely see the lust in his eyes. The weak woman closed her eyes, surrendering to her fate... Mu Chenyan could no longer stifle her voice, a low moan was let loose uncontrobly from her throat... Chapter 287 - Mu Chenyan Pulled down Her Mask and Called Softly, Mr Ye...

Chapter 287: Mu Chenyan Pulled down Her Mask and Called Softly, Mr Ye...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The pale light of dawn broke through the darkness from the east. The woman woke up, realizing that she was nested in Yuan Xuans arms as docile as Little Ginger Fur Ball. The air conditioning was at full st, no wonder she kept curling up by him, her body trying to close the gap to search for warmth! The things Yuan Xuan would do to take advantage of her... Are you awake? Yuan Xuan could feel his woman stirring and asked with his gruff voice. You must be so tired yesterday, sleep a little longer? Mu Chenyan was afraid when he does that. Not only would she feel awkward, she would feel shy too. She shook her head, not daring to use her voice. Her voice was even coarser than his, what an embarrassment. Ill get up first, I wanna go look at the cats. The moment the cats were brought up, Mu Chenyan immediately buried her face in the summer nket. Yuan Xuans lips curled into his signature bad-boy smile. What had he done in front of the two cats? Mu Chenyan took her phone and looked at the time. She fell asleep for a while longer. When Yuan Xuan had returned from working out, he had some breakfast. By the time Mu Chenyan had gotten up, he had already finished cleaning up and prepared to go out. Its Saturday, are you still working? Seeing Yuan Xuans outfit, Mu Chenyan asked curiously. I have a friending back from the UK, Im going to Liu Li Vi! Yuan Xuan did not conceal his agenda. Mu Chenyan ruminated a little. A friend from the UK? Liu Li Vi! She did not answer. Whatever Wu Ze had told her, she did not confirm with Yuan Xuan. After the weather heated up, Mu Chenyan became lethargic and lost appetite, so Ah Fu made the breakfast really light. She had had quite a bit to eat before Yuan Xuan left with satisfaction. The conspiratorial brain of Mu Chenyan had already started getting uneasy. Yuan Xuan did not bring her, but he did promise to ask Sister Liu for some fresh fruits and vegetables. Mu Chenyan felt strongly that the friend from the UK might be Shen Muqiu! The ringing of a phone had disrupted Mu Chenyans thought pattern. Yuan Tian? Are you not working today? Seeing the caller ID, Mu Chenyan addressed Yuan Tian lightly, I miss you! If you miss me,e on over quickly. I have good news! Yuan Tians secretive tone caused Mu Chenyan to bounce from her couch. Did you manage to gain ess to that special ward? ... Mu Chenyan rushed to the military hospital. As soon as she had parked and exited the garage, she saw Yuan Tian waiting for her at the lift. She grabbed Mu Chenyan and dragged her to her own restroom. She threw her a set of nurse uniform. Change, andter follow the doctor doing his rounds. When the guard at the entrance asks, dont speak. Ive arranged everything with the doctor, hell do the answering! Mu Chenyan received the uniform, feeling excitement and nervousness gather in her. The political spies in the TV series or even Liu Haoran in Detective Chinatown (TN: A 2015 Chinese film) have done something like this... Dont let my dad or my brother know about this, theyd kill me. Yuan Tian exaggerated a little, she had done much worse than this, never once was she even beaten... Got it. After changing, Mu Chenyan wore her surgical mask and nurse cap in front of the mirror. She turned around and asked, Do other nurses wear masks? She felt even more exposed the more she tried to hide her identity, it was weird. Yuan Tian was tickled by the question. The only nurse following is you, who cares if the others are wearing masks! It looked like Yuan Tangshuo was pretty strict on the privacy. Normally, nurses wont be necessary, only the attending physician would be present. However, Ye Kun identally hurt his waist and got a steel te attached to him. Todays the day to remove it, so he needs an assistant. Yuan Tian tidied up Mu Chenyans cor. Dont worry, just go in, have a look. I heard the patient is super tight-lipped, almost nobody has heard him speak. Mu Chenyan nodded. She had not even thought of a reason why she needed to see Ye Kun... However, Zhao Yannis sudden feud with him and her leaving a suicide note addressed to her were very confusing, Mu Chenyan wanted to unravel the mystery. After leaving Yuan Tians restroom, Mu Chenyan followed Yuan Tian to the quarantine area. Zheng Shuyan was waiting at the entrance. His white robe fluttered, entuating his coolness. Mu Chenyans footsteps faltered slightly. She asked Yuan Tian, Hes Zheng Shuyan? Yuan Tian was startled, You know him? Mu Chenyan nodded. Hes my college mate and used to pursue Wen Ya... Mu Chenyan did not know if she should be saying this to other Yuan Family members. Yuan Xuan did not care, and among the Yuan Family, except Wen Ya, only she herself knew of this. Zheng Shuyan was not a Luo Hai citizen. He could have stayed on to study after graduating, but he chose toe to Luo Hai, and even got himself admitted into the staff of Yuan Tangshuos military hospital. Not even Mu Chenyan knew about this. Whoa! No wonder Doctor Zheng is such a rejecter. Hes still not letting go of Wen Ya! Yuan Tian was a little excited. Honestly though, Wen Ya would be much happier if she married him, aspared to marrying the Demon Yuan! Doctor Zheng is handsome and cultured, if you didnt mention this, I wouldve teased the Big White Bunny out of him! As she said that, Yuan Tian smiled deviously. Uh... Was the Demon Yuan Yuan Tian spoke of, Yuan Zhe? Also, whats with Yuan Tian and her obsession of seeing all men as Little White Bunnies? Spotting Yuan Tian from far, Zheng Shuyan waved his arm lightly. Yuan Tian immediately changed her demeanor. She suppressed her urge to tease the Big White Bunny and greeted him politely, Doctor Zheng, thank you for your help. This is the one, please bring her in! Zheng Shuyan perused the clear-eyed woman with a mask and was surprised. He asked with a low voice, Mu Chenyan? What a crisp recognition skill, Doctor Zheng?. You even recognized me in a mask, its been so long. Mu Chenyan offered her hand. Zheng Shuyan hesitated and shook her hand lightly, saying, Really, its been so long! It may be due to his knowledge of Mu Chenyan and Wen Yas rtionship, Zheng Shuyan was a little ufortable. However, he quickly recovered his usualposure and instructed Mu Chenyan, Dont take too long. I dont want Dean Yuan to find out that I broke his trust. Mu Chenyan nodded in understanding. Her being here was purely for fun, while they were here to earn their living. As the guard saw Zheng Shuyan bringing a nurse, he did stop them to interrogate. However, Yuan Tian already instructed that Zheng Shuyan would handle everything. After passing the check, Mu Chenyan exhaled in relief. The quarantine zone was set up specifically for Ye Kun, there were three checkpoints. Ye Kun had almost recovered, but due to his amputation, he had trouble moving about. When the care workers were resting, he wanted some water to drink and identally fell off his wheelchair and hurt his waist. Zheng Shuyan asked Mu Chenyan for help removing the steel te from Ye Kun. Mu Chenyan saw that the man on the wheelchair was frail and sickly, his life experience showing between his brows. The body in the wheelchair was so stiff, he could not control himself. In the whole time that Zheng Shuyan detached the steel te and gave him check-up, he had not spoken a word, his gaze drooping. Mu Chenyan felt as if she was stabbed by a sword. This quinquagenarian man must have had it rough, or he would not have left so many scars on his body, yet still continuing to endure. Zheng Shuyan nudged Mu Chenyan with his gaze before he left. Mu Chenyan pulled down her mask and called softly, Mr Ye... Ye Kun looked as if he was electrocuted. He slowly lifted his head. His voice was croaky, as if he had just emerged from an otherworldly tomb (TN: A reference to a well-known Chinese Wuxia novel, in which the protagonist met his teacher in a tomb). Xiao Mei? Is that you? Chapter 288 - Young Master Must Have Married You for Vengeance

Chapter 288: Young Master Must Have Married You for Vengeance

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ye Kun looked as if he was electrocuted. He slowly lifted his head. His voice was croaky, as if he had just emerged from an otherworldly tomb. Xiao Mei? Is that you? Its been so many years, yet you still didnt change a bit... As he was saying that, Ye Kun extended his quivering arm, trying to touch Mu Chenyans face. However, his intense shaking had left him feeling inadequate as his outstretched hands faltered and returned to his side. He looked down on his wobbling form, seemingly embarrassed. Mu Chenyan crouched down and looked at the surprised expression on the aged face on the man. Mr Ye, do you know my mother? Mu Chenyan was sure that Ye Kun must have mistaken her for Yan Mei as her visage does resemble her mother. Hearing Mu Chenyan, Ye Kuns eyes widened as if he had just woken from a dream. He was stunned looking at Mu Chenyans simr yet alien face. Carefully, he perused the face in front of him, trying to determine if it belonged to his Lil Mei. My mother is Yan Mei... Mu Chenyan did not expect how her quest to investigate why Zhao Yanni wanted to poison this man turned into a reunion of mothers old acquaintance. What an unforeseen result! You... you are the child born of Mu Family in Xi Fan... Young Master... Young Master married you... Ye Kun seemed to have understood. His senescent face paled, his hands scrambled about his body searching for something. His eyes were crimson from the agitation. With his old injury, his hands trembling hysterically. Mu Chenyan took a step back in fright. What... what are you looking for? Cigarette... Wherere my cigarettes... Give me a cigarette... Ye Kun roared as he continued scouring on his wheelchair. Mu Chenyan helped him look for his cigarettes. A pack of strong-smelling cigarette that Yuan Xuan gave him slipped out of the wheelchair. Mu Chenyan picked it up and passed him a roll. Ye Kun took the cigarette. Mu Chenyan looked around and found a lighter on the table, which she used to light the cigarette for Ye Kun. Ye Kun took a puff and exhaled a long ring of smoke. The calming effects of the cigarette slowly allowing the man to cool down. He took a while and looked up, his reddish eyes fixing onto Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, heughed. Hisughter filled the empty ward, which at this point, seemed ghastly, creepy, and abrupt... Mu Chenyan felt a little scared. Under Ye Kuns stare, she took a few steps back and asked, Mr Ye, what is my mother to you? Mu Chenyan had wanted to ask why Zhao Yanni wanted to hurt him, but as he knew her mother, he must know Mu Feng. His hands were full of calluses, so he must have used guns, he could even be her fathersrade... Thinking about that, Mu Chenyan was a little stirred. She stared at Ye Kun expectantly. Hearing her inquiry on his rtionship with Yan Mei, Ye Kuns eyes cooled dramatically. Youre here to find me just so you can ask me what my rtionship with Yan Mei is? The man paused, reviewing what he had just said, Or did your brother send you to kill me? Mu Chenyan was confused. She did not understand how the man would change so quickly. Talking about her mother had gotten him to be gentle, but now he was iming that her brother wanted to kill him... No! I dont know what youre talking about. I cant even get in touch with my brother right now, how would I want to kill you? We have no dispute between us... No disputes? Ye Kun continued tough. You Mu Family have no disputes between us? I cant wait to kill every one of you Mu people so none of you could be redeemed... The mans voice was strained and fatigued. He glowered at Mu Chenyan. If you werent Lil Meis daughter, I would have killed you to hurt her. I really want to kill you with my own hands... I love her so much, how would I make her sad... Mu Chenyan shuddered. She was worried that the crazy man would go through with his threats and choke her to death. Seeing Mu Chenyans fear, Ye Kun murmured. And Young Master, hes been entranced by you, I dont you why he would marry you, what a disgrace! Ye Kun was extremely mncholic at this point. He kept quiet for a while before realizing something and grasped his hair maniacally. No, Young Master must have married you for vengeance! Yes, vengeance, pure, unadulterated vengeance, he wouldnt have loved you... He knows your identity... he married you for revenge... What if I make the decision for him, he must have been in pain. He cant kill you by his hands, so I will... He suddenly turned around on his wheelchair and charged at Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan did not understand why Ye Kun would hate her to her bones. She did not understand why he would im that Yuan Xuan marrying her was to exact revenge. What does that even mean? Back then, her brother also said the same thing in front of the tombstone. Why would they say that? Seeing Ye Kun pounce, Mu Chenyan tried to put distance between them. Dont... Donte near me! Ye Kuns red eyes red at Mu Chenyan, still mumbling about killing her. His crazed look could only be described as savage and scary. Mu Chenyan screamed, tripped by the velvet rug left on the ground by Ye Kun, and fell. Ye Kun had already closed in with her in an attempt to choke Mu Chenyan to death. His stature was imposing, and even though he was hurt on his upper body, his frenzy had provided him with an abnormal strength to normal human beings. Hearing Mu Chenyans scream, Zheng Shuyan rushed in. The guards also noticed the ruckus in the room and hurried over. Mu Chenyans face was red and her eyes lined with fear. Mr Ye, please calm down! Zheng Shuyan pulled at Mu Chenyan. Following him, the two guards held Ye Kun from behind and called out loudly, Mr Ye, thats a nurse, youve mistaken! No! Shes not, shes that kid! I need to kill her... There were so many deaths in Xi Fan, and all of them was because of him, its him... Generals dead... Everyones dead... Im still alive, I need to avenge them... Mu Feng and his people from Xi Fan cooperated and killed the general. He wants to kill me, hes afraid that I might expose him... Ye Kun struggled in an increasingly deranged streak. The two guards could not do much except to ask Zheng Shuyan for help. Doctor Zheng, please give him a shot of that tranquilizer! Ye Kun had lost control before, so the ward had tranquilizers prepared. Zheng Shuyan quickly took the syringe and a dose of the tranquilizer, prepared it, and injected Ye Kun with it while the two guards held him down. The drug soon took effect as Ye Kun slowly quietened and was knocked out. As the two guards carried Ye Kun back to his bed, Mu Chenyan was still in shock, her face as white as paper. She was still recalling Ye Kuns words. Mu Feng and his people from Xi Fan cooperated... This version and Mu Chenwus, which one was the truth? The cooperation between Mu Feng and his men from Xi Fan was Yuan Familys ploy to trap Mu Feng, ording to Mu Chenwu. However, the crazed Ye Kun had no reason to lie under this circumstance. Just as she was spacing out, Zheng Shuyan asked her, Miss Mu, are you alright? Mu Chenyans arm was scratched in several areas, and the skin on her delicate neck was showing startlingly purplish bruises. What fun, now Yuan Xuan would definitely find out! Mu Chenyan was really bummed as she looked at Zheng Shuyan apologetically. Doctor Zheng, Im really sorry, I didnt mean to involve you in this! Zheng Shuyan smiled. Whats done is done, so dont be sorry. You were almost dead! Mu Chenyan sighed. I seem to have done something really bad! Yuan Xuan would not forgive me if he finds out... She had done so many things behind Yuan Xuans back. The first few times only counted as minor incidents, so Yuan Xuan could turn a blind eye to them and even used her to get things going. However, her visit to Ye Kun this time was unauthorized, and Ye Kun was Yuan Xuans secret. Even though she did not get a verbal confirmation, she could already confirm that Zhao Yanni and Ye Kun had no prior disputes. So, the one who sent her to kill Ye Kun was her own brother? Could it be that it was like Ye Kun had said, someone wanted him killed to bury a secret? Another issue was unraveled. If Mu Family did want Ye Kun killed, the only person who would transport Shu Qinger back to Luo Hai would be her brother. Knowing that, Mu Chenyans heart broke. No matter what intention on which her brother was operating, him moving Qinger to Luo Hai did implicate that he knew Qinger was alive. This old case had her locked behind bars for two years, while her own brother knew the victim was not dead... If she did not find out this on her own, she would still be in the dark from her brothers secret! Noticing the swift switches of facial expression on Mu Chenyans face, Zheng Shuyan thought she was not well. Miss Mu, let me send you home! Mu Chenyan dismissed him. Dont worry about that. I drove here. If Dean Yuan finds out about this, you would be implicated, Im really sorry, Doctor Zheng... Mu Chenyan apologized again. Zheng Shuyan sighed, Miss Mu, let me bring you to get that sanitized. Mu Chenyan looked at her arms and nodded. On the other side, a guard finished settling Ye Kun into his bed and picked up his phone. Sir, ady snuck in disguised as a nurse, Mr Ye went berserk and almost choked her to death... Mu Chenyan and Zheng Shuyan shared a nce... ... Liu Li Vi Receiving the call, Yuan Xuans irises shrank, and his brows furrowed. Is thedy hurt? After waiting for the answer, Yuan Xuans brows were almost knitted together. Let the doctor take care of her injury and send her back to Hibiscus Garden, Send someone to keep an eye on her! Yuan Xuan was enraged and looked frightening! A man stepped out of the wine cer. The white suit of him highlighted his grace as he had, in his hand, a 1982 collectors edition bottle of red wine and a cigarette in his other hand. His face was suave not less than Yuan Xuans. It may be his long-term stay out of the country that was causing his meal preference to be westernized, his bone structure to be more defined, and his muscles to be more developed. He had an air of wickedness on him. Maybe he was too attractive, to the point that the shing scar on his left cheek did not mar his appeal but only added a hint of bloodlust allure to him. Seeing Yuan Xuans expressions as well as hearing the words, Shen Muqiu could guess a little about what had happened. He gently swung the bottle of wine in a rhythmic oscition. The only thing that didnt change here is this wine cer! Knowing this man had consumed a great amount of his treasured collection in just half a month, Yuan Xuan did not want to entertain him. Shen Muqiu could recognize Yuan Xuans impatience. He inhaled from the cigarette and opened the bottle of wine. Im guessing its your Little Chili who got into trouble! Chapter 289 - What a Surprise, Your Little Chili Was Still So Adorable

Chapter 289: What a Surprise, Your Little Chili Was Still So Adorable

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shen Muqiu recognized Yuan Xuans impatience. He inhaled from the cigarette and opened the bottle of wine. Im guessing its your Little Chili who got into trouble! Yuan Xuan received the ss of red wine Shen Muqiu offered him, kept his silence, and began drinking on his own. She went to investigate Ye Kun but almost got choked to death! After a while, Yuan Xuan said lightly. What a surprise, your Little Chili was still so adorable! He smiled as he said that. Shen Muqiu was an extraordinary-looking person. His posture as he tasted the wine was so elegant, he just did not look like someone who would be called the Smiling Rakshasa that everyone feared... He had been around Europe, and almost all the countries in the vicinity had his name listed as wanted and just slightly shy of being called a terrorist. However, he had always been shrouded in mystery. He had never had his hands directly in any incidents, and his subordinates were all astute and disciplined. Even if there were the asional misstep, all his captured subordinates had their own specialized method of suicide, so the police could nevery their hands on Shen Muqiu. Yuan Xuan did not have the mood to banter with Shen Muqiu at the moment. He was set to return to Luo Hai, but Shen Muqiu called him just as he tried to leave. When do you n to let me meet her? A dark cloud crossed the mans eyes. The bloodthirsty demon had a dark heart, but no matter how much power he wields, he still had a fiery mountain that he could not cross! Yuan Xuan turned around and looked at Shen Muqiu. With a scoff, his voice came through cold and sharp. Just give up! Hearing Yuan Xuans refusal, Shen Muqius face contorted. He smiled callously. You think you can stop me? Yuan Xuan stood. His emotionless eyes looked as if it was going to send daggers. Yuan Tian had already forgotten youpletely! Dont you dare disturb her anymore! Those people out of the country couldnt do anything to you, but in Luo Hai, dont you dare touch even a strand of her hair! Shen Muqius dark eyes suddenly turned red. The man who was used to manipting even the weather suddenly felt stifled. You! You made her forget about me! He hurled his wine ss away and showed his ruthless nature. Yuan Xuan, if it were any other things, I am willing to amodate, but I will definitely take Yuan Tian with me this time! Hmph! You can certainly try! Yuan Xuan looked like a tiny universe had just exploded inside of him. He only left a sentence before leaving without even casting a second gaze backward. Shen Muqiu stared at Yuan Xuans silhouette walking away, the corner of his lips curled into an enigmatic smile... ... Mu Chenyan knew that she messed up. She did not dare show her anxiety. She stayed in Hibiscus Garden obediently the rest of the day, had meals, and went to bed early. The injured areas on her body still stung. Even though Zheng Shuyan had already disinfected the injury and applied medicine on her, they still looked quite bad. When Yuan Xuan had returned, he saw that the air-conditioner was on in the bedroom. His woman had withdrawn into her own under the nket, clearly in shock. She did not look like she was sleeping well. Her brows were furrowed, the choke scar was apparent on her fragile neck. Yuan Xuans hands lightly touched her. The fury he was suppressing the entire triping back had subsidedpletely, reced by heartbreak. It was an ache generated from the depth of his heart! He did not like the fact that she was hurt, especially the fact that she was wronged! You insolent girl, now you finally learned a lesson! Yuan Xuan clenched his teeth. He berated her in his head, yet his touch was increasingly gentler as he slowly soothed the bruises... Ye Kuns mental state was not stable, that had to do with the inhumane experiences he had endured. Yuan Xuan remembered the other time that Ye Kun lost control, he could not even recognize him, so Yuan Xuan did not me him. In her dreams, Mu Chenyan felt the warm touch on her arms and shook. Her voice quivered a little as she muttered under her breath. Brother, Yuan Xuan, all of you were... lying to me... Yuan Xuans finger stopped at her brows and smoothed the brows that were tightly knit together. I didnt want you to know, so why do you have to go investigate? Cant you be obedient for once? Yuan Xuan whispered in her ear... Chapter 290 - Don’t Be Shy. I’m at Mistress’ Disposal

Chapter 290: Dont Be Shy. Im at Mistress Disposal

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This woman, as a result of the trauma, had sessfully caused herself to be down with a fever! Yes, she was that useless! The fever depleted Mu Chenyan of her energy and made her groggy. She woke up in the middle of the night and teared up. Youre all liars! Youre all liars! Mu Chenyan sobbed and wiped her snot with a corner of the nket. Not feeling satisfied, she grabbed a corner of Yuan Xuans pajamas to blow her nose as well. Yuan Xuan was exhausted from caring for her and sat by the bed to nap a little. He was not aware that his pajamas had been contaminated... As her nose was relieved, Mu Chenyan felt much better, but upon seeing the side of Yuan Xuans face, she could not help but sob again. The inexplicable sobs woke Yuan Xuan up from the bed. He noticed that the woman who was groggy from the fever had an unusual redness on her face. Her eyes were teary, and her hands were shivering. He was shocked and immediately pulled her into his embrace. Dont be afraid! Little Chenyan, Im here to protect you... Mu Chenyan did not know why she was crying. She just felt upset and miserable and that she would only feel better by crying and letting it out. She hugged Yuan Xuans arm and sniveled, and her snot smeared his arm. Yuan Xuan did not scorn but let her vent out freely. She slept, woke up, and slept again. She did not eat much during the daytime, and those that she barely swallowed were vomited out. After having her meal, Ah Fu served up a bowl of medicine soup. The moment Mu Chenyan saw it she was so terrified that she teared up. No medicine... Bitter! Mu Chenyan was rather rational during the usual days, but after falling sick, she had turned aroundpletely. That manner of hers was of one who would fight to death and could be dragged out to be flogged 20 times! Yuan Xuan was mad, annoyed, and felt sorry for her. He was like torturing himself as he coaxed, Little Chenyan, be a good girl. You take a sip, and Ill take a sip. Hearing that, Mu Chenyan thought that the idea was good. At least, she could drink only half of it. After taking a sip, sheid on the bed and stared at Yuan Xuan, looking just like Little Ginger Fur Ball. Yuan Xuan had no other way. His lips pressed lightly together. Even a healthy person needed to take medicine, the patient must be seriously sick. Mu Chenyan was pleased, and she took another sip... Yuan Xuan thought about what would happen after they had a daughter. He would have to care for two little women, and he wondered what kind of scene would it be. Daughter? Thinking of this, Yuan Xuan became somewhat excited. If their daughter were to resemble Mu Chenyan, how delightful it would be to be cuddling one on the left and embracing another on the right... Thinking of daughter, his body was in a state of incitement, and he wanted to have a baby! He must have been bewitched by her, instigating him tomit the crime whenever and wherever. Especially now that she was looking all delicate and pitiful, he only felt like bullying her even more fiercely... However, Yuan Xuan was very rational. In this kind of state, how could he do it? Watching Mu Chenyan suffering, his heart ached for her intensely. Mu Chenyan had no idea that on this night, Yuan Xuan had gotten up numerous times to wipe her sweat away. By the time she was fully awake, it was already two dayster. Those who were drunk would not have a worse reaction than Mu Chenyan. Her memory waspletely nk, and she had no idea how much she had been courting death. Early in the morning, Ah Fu prepared a light breakfast. Mu Chenyan had just finished a bowl of porridge when Yuan Xuan walked downstairs and adjusting his cor at the same. From today onwards, Little Chenyan, you have to be secluded and meditate for some time. Mu Chenyan could hear that it was an order rather than a discussion. Ive recovered! Take a look. My bodys all fine... Mu Chenyan tried to turn the plot around. She wanted to fight for her rights of not having to be confined. Yuan Xuan coldly eyed her, hisrge hands lifted her chin, and his dull voice spat out the words one by one, Ive made myself clear. Theres no need for you to argue. During this period, dont you try to walk out of Hibiscus Garden again! You secretly went to the hospital, and I havent hold you ountable for it. What else do you want? Mu Chenyan could see the anger raging in the mans eyes, and she became silent. When Yuan Xuan saw that she had recovered, there was no need for him to tolerate her anymore. He would no longer relent but would rant when needed to... Watching the back of the man leaving, she refused toply but she also dared not voice out. However, even if she could not go outside, it did not mean that she could not get hold of the news in the outside world. Yuan Tian received Mu Chenyans message and replied to her that all was well. Ye Kun had regained his sanity and was back to his apathetic manner, bing even quieter than before. Yuan Tangshuo dared not let the outside world stimte Ye Kun again, hence stricter conditions were imposed on the doctors who entered the ward. She herself was scolded by her father and ordered to not approach Ye Kuns ward. Although Zheng Shuyan had it better, not getting reprimanded did not mean that he was off the hook. Yuan Tangshuo ordered the poor man to do social work for a week, and so he missed the chance to help Wen Ya change her bandage. Mu Chenyan felt uneasy in her heart. Not to mention her reckless action this time, the mystery had only gotten deeper, and she did not even take Yuan Xuans warning to heart. Yuan Tian, youve got to help me. Mu Chenyan figured that if she was confined at home, the only person who could help her was probably Yuan Tian. What are you thinking of doing now? Yuan Tian was surprised. She had known Mu Chenyan for many years, but she did not know that her buddy could be this persistent. Help me find a reason, say that I need to be admitted into the hospital. Mu Chenyan pleaded to Yuan Tian. Yuan Tian was speechless. ... Yuan Xuan returned home at night and saw Mu Chenyan gloomy and unhappy. He thought that she was unwell again. Mu Chenyan answered, Indeed, I dont feel good. Having been confined for the entire day, Mu Chenyan felt as if her whole body had grown hair. Su Qingcheng noticed she did not show up for work, so she gave her a call. When she heard that it was such a situation, she replied that there was nothing she could do to help, and she fled the conversation. If you dont feel good, thene exercise with hubby? While speaking, Yuan Xuans hand began to roam about, frightening Mu Chenyan and causing her to plead with him. Yuan Xuan had only wanted to scare her. How was he willing to crush such a weak body? He had to frighten her a little so that she would not stir up trouble. Having experienced trauma, should she not remember and learn of the repercussion of her actions? She absentmindedly finished her dinner. At night, Yuan Xuan went to the study room to deal with some work, while Mu Chenyan paced back and forth outside the study room. Finally, after she had gone in and out to drink water for three times, picked up her phone twice and used I think I heard something. Ill go and check it out as an excuse, and made the fourth trip, Yuan Xuan came out of the study room and halted this woman who could not stay still... Spit it out. What do you want? Yuan Xuans lustrous eyes revealed a look that said that he was waiting for her confession. Truth be told, from the time the two had known each other up till now, Yuan Xuan was the one who had always been in the driving seat and the one who had the final say. However, this did not mean that Mu Chenyan had no thoughts of her own. On the contrary, she felt a great deal of uneasiness! Softness did not equal to fragile... Seeing Yuan Xuan being straightforward, Mu Chenyan did not beat around the bush. Whos Ye Kun actually? Whats your rtionship with him? Why does he hate the Mu Family to the core? Why does my brother want to kill Ye Kun, and what secret does he have? Mu Chenyan spouted out a string of questions. Her gaze was affixed as she put on a dauntless disy and a you-must-give-me-an-exnation expression. Yuan Xuan pondered for a moment on the sofa. The British-styled man looked gorgeous all over. From Mu Chenyans angle, he had a sultry manner. No matter how indifferent and unapproachable Yuan Xuan was on the outside, but when he was with Mu Chenyan, all his edges would be toned down. He reached out to embrace Mu Chenyan, twirling her hair with his fingers. Ye Kun was my fathers bodyguard back then, so isnt the nature of our rtionship clear? He was nearly beaten to death by your father, so him hating the Mu Family is not something bizarre, is it? As for why your brother wants Ye Kun dead, you should find Mu Chenwu and ask him yourself. Lastly, about the secret he has, I can tell you honestly that you wont be interested in it. There was nothing wrong with Yuan Xuans answers, but it was also as if he had not really exined anything. Mu Chenyan knew clearly that Yuan Xuan was deliberately avoiding the main point. She bit her lips, and hesitation was seen in her eyes. She did not know after she had raised the next question, how would it go between Yuan Xuan and her, but she could not resist it. Ye Kun says that Mu Feng worked in collusion with the Xi Fan people and caused the death of your father. Is this true? Mu Chenyans voice was quivering. No matter what the end result was, she and Yuan Xuan would have it hard to wind up the matter. Yuan Xuans clear eyes stared at Mu Chenyan, his lips pursed into a beautiful arch. He swept his gaze across Mu Chenyans face, and suddenly, the man carried her up and pressed her down onto the big ck bed. Mu Chenyan panicked. She pushed her hands against his heavy and sturdy body, intending to resist, but Yuan Xuansrge hands grabbed her tiny hands and pinned them above her head on the bed. Yuan Xuan, you havent answered me... Ahh... Before Mu Chenyan had finished her words, her corbone was bitten hard by him. It was so painful that Mu Chenyan wanted to tear up, but she would not yield. She lifted her knees and held them against Yuan Xuans waist. Yuan Xuan noticed her intention and pressed down on her, his legs forcing her knees to part, and his body bore down on her seamlessly... At this moment, she really could not close her legs together. Mu Chenyan was afraid of this pose. Although they were both wearing clothes, the material of their pajamas was rather thin. Hence, she could sense clearly the changes in his body. Yuan Xuan, youre ignoring the important points and focusing on the minor things. You havent answered me... Ahh... Mu Chenyan had notpleted her sentence when her towering part was unceremoniously bitten by Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan dark and deep gaze looked into Mu Chenyans eyes. In his constricted pupils, the cold gaze was filled with an overbearing expression. If you dare to ask any more questions, Ill continue! Yuan Xuan did not speak, but his eyes were telling her this fact! Mu Chenyan refused to give in, and her tone was filled with a great deal of dissatisfaction. Youre not saying anything. Are you avoiding the question? You... When Yuan Xuan saw that she was unrepentant and kept pursuing this topic relentlessly, he was somewhat irked. Initially, he had looked upon the fact that since she had just recovered from a major illness, her body was still in a weak state, hence he did not want to do her. However, this woman was really stubborn! Yuan Xuan said nothing. His lowered his head and pecked her neck continuously. It was not painful, but it was very itchy... Mu Chenyan could not help but moaned! Realizing that she had been aroused by him, Mu Chenyan bit her lower lips and the suppressed sound turned into a muffled moan, which only encouraged Yuan Xuans lust. Since you have such energy to question non-stop, then you should just exercise with me! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan said nothing, but her eyes were filled with rage! She hated herself for not being able to resist his provocation. Yuan Xuan always had a way to make her surrender easily. How stubborn! The man said like he was sighing. He picked up her scattered hair by the side and tugged at it lightly, feeling the smoothness of it. What good is there for you to unt boldness? Mu Chenyan was speechless. You can plead with me. Hubby will be gentleter on. Shameless! What a strong-willed woman! Ive really underestimated you previously. Mu Chenyan clearly knew that if she was unyielding in her words, her body would have to suffer. However, she could not bear the fact that Yuan Xuan was restricting her in all areas. She was not allowed to question and not allowed to investigate, but he knew everything while she was kept in the dark! As her mind wandered off, the man easily turned her over. His warm palm went into her shirt and held onto her waist, gently kneading. You were down with a fever a few days back. Do you feel sore all over your body? Yuan Xuan changed the topic, and the gentle force from his hands continued as he said, Hubby will give you a massage in case you say that I only know how to bully you. Mu Chenyan had to admit that this massage was indeed extremelyfortable. She had suffered soreness from muscle stiffness for two days. The massage loosened up her tight muscles, and Mu Chenyans brows slowly rxed. However, as the soreness disappeared, she quickly realized a critical issue. Although Yuan Xuan was not sitting on her, he was leaning very close to her. Every time he moved a little, he would brush past her backside... Although he did not do it intentionally, it was... really ufortable. I feel... alright now... You dont need me to massage a little more? My skills are not bad, right? No need... Mu Chenyans tone was a little hasty. Her face was already red, and it was sweet-looking and enticing. The man chuckled. Dont be shy. Im at Mistress disposal. I really dont want it anymore. Then what do you want? Mu Chenyan was speechless. Just when Mu Chenyan was distracted, the world before her eyes whirled around. This time, he was lying on the bed while she was on top of him. How does Mistress feel about this? Yuan Xuans gaze became misty. Nothing much. Mu Chenyan would not admit that she was scared and... anticipating! Her eyes were filled with various difiture and avoidance. She pressed her hands on his chest as she attempted to get down from him. The mans gaze deepened, and it became dark and unpredictable. He suddenly got up and went down from the bed. Mu Chenyan did not know where did he head to. She sat on the bed stupefied. Pinching her hot cheeks and recalling the scene from just now, her heart was thumping non-stop. Yuan Xuan returned a whileter, and in his hand was a wine ss. He opened a bottle of wine and poured the red liquid into the transparent wine ss. In the quietness, the sound of the flowing liquid was extraordinarily clear. Mu Chenyan watched the mans gentle and elegant movements, and she held her breath. Yuan Xuan turned around and swayed the wine ss in his hand. Mu Chenyan saw the smile in Yuan Xuans eyes, and when that dangerous aura came close to her, her heart skipped a beat. The man said nothing but ced the ss at her mouth. Take a few sips. Its good for relieving fatigue and you wont say youre tired after just a while... Yuan Xuans tone was soft and gentle, but Mu Chenyan was aware of his intention. He was telling her that he must have her tonight! Yuan Xuan...I wont ask anymore... Only now did Mu Chenyan want to retreat. She knew that on this matter, Yuan Xuan was the one who was in power. The man smirked and slowly lifted the wine ss, pouring the wine into Mu Chenyans mouth. She had only taken a sip and then she was choked by the pungent taste of the wine and began coughing hard. Cough, cough... Little Chenyan bend over to dodge, her small face immediately turned red from the stimtion of the alcohol. The man lifted her chin, raised the ss and contained the wine in his mouth. He then leaned forward and pressed onto her lips, forcefully passing the wine into her mouth. The alcohol consumed earlier on had begun to take effect. Mu Chenyan felt dizzy from the wine, and for a split moment, she had forgotten the inner conflict she had and intuitively swallowed the scorching liquid. In her stomach, there was like a ball of fire raging and a burning sensation... Mu Chenyan turned her face aside to refuse his kiss. The kiss missed and was nted on the side of her neck. The man put down the winess and pressed down on her, murmuring softly into her ear. Little Chenyan, theres no need for you to know much. Just remember the present feeling. Its all my love to you. ... The thrust that Yuan Xuan gave her had a sense of dominance, love, constrain, and contentment... Chapter 291 - Shen Muqiu Once Held a Girl Dearly in His Heart. She Was from the Yuan Family

Chapter 291: Shen Muqiu Once Held a Girl Dearly in His Heart. She Was from the Yuan Family

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Throughout the night, Mu Chenyan would feel like she was momentarily floating above the clouds, but in the next moment, she would feel like she was thrown into the bottom of a valley. She was pinned down by Yuan Xuan, as she lost herself little by little... Little Chenyan, never ask those questions again. Next time, well do it each time you ask. After all, if you have the strength to ask, Ill have the strength to do it. If you want to be finished off by me, then feel free to keep asking!! As the man finished his words, he did not forget to conclude with something threatening. Mu Chenyan waspletely drained. Her eyes were half-shut, filled with mist. Yuan Xuans warm breath flowed by her ear. Understand? The woman whimpered and said nothing. Baby, do you understand? Tell me! Do you understand!? Ah... Ill... Ill remember that... Mu Chenyan gasped and replied tearfully. Yuan Xuan smiled in his eyes. This man had enjoyed a sumptuous feast, yet he still forced her into a corner! Mu Chenyan did not dare to unt bravery with her words, but she resisted in her heart! Ill remember it in your dreams! Huh! ... Liu Li Vi Shen Muqiu had changed into a ck sports suit with a dark cap. The man was handsome, standing tall and straight. He walked toward his Land Rover Evoque, and his confidant, Min Yang, followed in his heels. This young man had a cool aura about him. He was only in his twenties, yet his voice had a sense of agedness and hoarseness that did not match his age. He asked in a low voice, Sir! Where are you going? To the hospital! Shen Muqiu did not bother to lift his gaze; his cold and arrogant mannerpletely undisguised. You dont have to follow me. Ill go on my own! Min Yang reached out and blocked the door with his arm. Sir, you cant be alone. Youre well aware of how dangerous it is to appear in front of the public just like that... Shut up! Shen Muqiu chided angrily. His eyes were a shade of blood red, and the corner of his lips twitched as he spat, Do I need your consent to go where I please now? Sir! I wouldnt dare question you! But even then, you know that many of our brothers have lost their lives to protect you. You cant let those brothers die in vain just because of your waywardness! Min Yangs height was about the same as Shen Muqiu, and his bearing did not lose out to his master. His gaze was firm, unlike the usual docile-looking aides he had. His tone was nd, but it had a sense of forcefulness in it as well. Shen Muqiu gritted his teeth and red at Min Yang. Rage consumed the mans rationality, but he kept it in check. He only stared at the boy in front of him. Scram! Sir, I cannot allow you to go out alone. Ill go with you! If anyone wants to harm you, better than they harm me instead of you! Min Yang was ever insistent. Your brother and father have already fucking died for me. How can I let you die for me too? ? Shen Muqiu spoke with dreariness as his tone softened. Min Yang nodded with all seriousness Generations of The Min family will give up their lives for the Shen family! Shen Muqiu relented at this. He held the door and sighed before retrieving a cigarette from his pocket. Seeing this, Min Yang quickly lit it up for him. Sir, why do you want to go to the hospital? Shen Muqiu took a deep breath and blew out a long plume of smoke. He then said inly, Yuan Xuan said that Yuan Tian has forgotten about me. Min Yang nodded. He knew that Shen Muqiu once held a girl dearly in his heart, and she was from the Yuan family! This was one of the reasons why Shen Muqiu had made every attempt to approach Yuan Xuan and to coborate with him back then in Ennd. So you want to go to the hospital to see her? Min Yang made a guess. Shen Muqiu released another puff of smoke, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stamped on it with his foot. Ill go with you! Although Luo Hai is safer than it is overseas, dont forget, Sir, that those whore aware that you are a descendant of the Shen family are still alive! We cant take it lightly! Shen Muqiu nodded. He knew the descendants of the Min family extremely well. Ever since his grandfathers generation, the Min family had been walking in step with them. All of their generations had worked as bodyguards to protect their masters. In order to save the young Shen Muqiu back then, Min Yangs father had died in the hands of the enemy. In Italy, Min Yangs elder brother had also lost his life in a fight while protecting Shen Muqiu from danger. Of the Min family, only Min Yang was left. If he did not bring Min Yang along, he might not be able to make it out of Liu Li Vi. The Land Rover crossed the Wintry Lake and headed for the military hospital. ... Fuck! Whats so terrific about the Yuan family? When my father went in, he was well and alive. Now you tell me that the operation has failed? I want to see your dean, and bring me the female doctor... Call her out! Doctors are killing people in cold blood! Theres no justice! Give me back my husband... Gathered at the entrance of the cardiology surgery room in the military hospital was a group of the patients family members. They were extremely emotional, shouting and congesting the entire ward. A few security guards and male doctors blocked the door to prevent them from rushing inside. In general, the hospital was only open to military officers, their family members, and qualified military district leaders. A few years back, the hospital had expanded in scale, and the resources of the military were integrated into one spot? Coupled with the fact that Yuan Tangshuo was a person with a righteous cause, he had repeatedly mentioned to the higher-ups for the hospital to receive more diversified patients, so that the resources avable could be better utilized. As a result, the hospital gradually developed into a general hospital, and its range of patients gradually expanded, benefiting the people atrge. This hospital was funded by the Yuan family to begin with, and Yuan Tangshuo was in-charge of it. The hospitals technology and equipment were also at the cutting edge, hence it was very famous in Luo Hai. The military hospital never had a medical dispute. What happened today was truly surprising. The surgeon is Doctor Yuan. I heard that the expert consultation at that time was unwilling to ept this case as the sess rate of this operation was only 5%. However, Doctor Yuan took pity on the family and picked up the case. Who knew.... Sigh! Those who are pathetic must have a cause for having sunk this low. Had she known this would be the oue, she wouldnt have taken in the patient. The person was going to die anyway, but now she had brought trouble on herself... In my opinion, its also the doctors own problem, taking advantage of her position as the daughter of the Dean... Dont spout nonsense. If the Dean hears it, the consequence will be unbearable! Doctor Yuan doesnt even have a proper degree. What qualification does she have to be a surgeon in the hospital? You cant talk like that. Although Doctor Yuan has no education, she has been following the Dean around the world, attending various academic reports and seminars and umting practical experience. Shes not unskilled at all... A few nurses who understood the inside story whispered among themselves. Yuan Tian had been dragged into the lounge by her colleague and was hiding there. She had heard the noise outside, and she did not even have the time to take off the bloody surgical gown on her. Her head drooped, and traces of dismal tears were spotted in the corner of her eyes. Doctor Yuan, before the operation, Teacher Wang and Teacher Zhou had already evaluated the sess rate of this operation to be extremely low, so its normal for this kind of situation to arise. You dont need to take it to heart. Assistant Ye Minforted softly. Not to mention the family members have signed the informed consent form before the operation and have recorded the video on agreeing to ept the risk of surgery. The reason for themotion theyre making is none other than money... She had been by Yuan Tians side for a few years and had never seen this young surgeon in such a sorry state. Chapter 292 - Flaming Whiskey

Chapter 292: ming Whiskey

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian was a kind-hearted doctor. She seemed blunt on the surface but this was probably the first time a sensitive girl like her experienced such a blow. Ye Min, perhaps this patient wouldve lived for a few more months if we hadnt taken him in... Yuan Tians voice was faint while her tears rolled down uncontrobly. This was the first time someone died on Yuan Tians operating table. She doubted herself for a moment and wondered if she was a doctor, or perhaps a mere executioner who brandished a scalpel... Ye Mins heart also hurt when she saw Yuan Tians sorrowful expression. She took some tissues and gently wiped Yuan Tians face. Doctor Yuan, dont say that. There are many people whom youve saved who continue to think of you as an angel. This ident isnt your fault! The traces of blood had already dried up on the surgical gloves still on Yuan Tians hands. The crimson blood that stained Yuan Tians surgical gown made her a ghastly sight, but the thought to removed them escaped her. She had not thought to remove them. Security had tightened outside, along with the military which was also in full force. The rioters were hastily removed from the hospital, and Yuan Tangshuo sent her representatives to meet the family. When he returned, the man questioned the people around him, before he rushed to the lounge in the operating theater after hearing that Yuan Tian was still there. Tian Tian? Yuan Tangshuo tried to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside. Ye Min quickly opened the door when she realized that it was Director Yuan. Yuan Tangshuo was over fifty years old, but he had spent most of the year at the hospital despite the demanding pressure of his work. He was already balding, but the Yuan Familys genes made his attractiveness apparent throughout his appearance. Father... Yuan Tian pursed her lips. When she saw Yuan Tangshuo entering, she threw herself on him and cried uncontrobly. Father, arent I... the most useless... Growing up, Yuan Tian was always filled with wild ambition. She stirred up various kinds of unusual trouble that frequently roused her mothers anger. She rarely gained the Old Mistresss favor because of the mishaps that she had caused constantly. To her family, she was the unique one. Despite everything, Yuan Tian had never shed a tear, much less doubted herself. Todays incident had tested her indeed. Yuan Tangshuo gingerly caressed his daughters head and quietly consoled her. Never. Youve always been exceptional to me! Yuan Tian sobs worsened when she heard that. Father, Ive always disappointed you. Are you just saying these things tofort me? Yuan Tangshuo could not help butugh. What do you mean? Yuan Tian wiped her tears and sobbed. Im not academically qualified, and I have an unorthodox background. I learned everything from you yet an incident like this happened today... Yuan Tangshuo was usually very demanding towards Yuan Tian, but unlike her mother Lu Shan, he rarely spoke to her. In terms of education, he valued first-hand experience more for Yuan Tians development. It was my fault that you didnt go to university. If you want to study, I can arrange for you to further your education overseas. Yuan Tangshuo had never spoken in such a gentle tone before. Yuan Tian rubbed her eyes and sniffled. Father, I wasntining, I just felt like Ive embarrassed you. Yuan Tangshuo smiled. Doctors arent gods. Deaths on the operating table arent things that doctors like to see either. Professor Zhou said that the sess rate of this operation was extremely low to begin with, so Im very much in awe of your perseverance. They wouldve gone to a different hospital if you hadnt agreed to this operation. For some reason, Yuan Tians heart was greatly relieved when she heard her fathers words. She rubbed her nose and said, The family... Ill take care of that! Upon saying that, Yuan Tangshuo turned to Ye Min and said, Doctor Ye, please take Yuan Tian out for a good time. You can leave early today. Ye Min gleefully epted her task when she heard that. Thank you, Director Yuan! * Shen Muqius car was parked at the entrance of the inpatient ward. Ming Yang turned his head and said to him, Sir, Miss Yuans car is moving. . 1 . Shen Muqiu bent his body forward as he fixed his gaze on the woman in the passengers seat. He whispered, Follow her! Ye Min drove as Yuan Tian was not in the right state to do so. She naturally undertook this responsibility because the director had entrusted her to take Yuan Tian out to have fun and relieve her stress. The car stopped at Ninth Mile Singing Pub. Yuan Tian had visited this ce with her female friends or coworkers to have fun drinking and dancing. They would always forget their troubles after letting loose here for a while. Why are we here? Yuan Tian had fallen asleep in the car. When she opened her eyes and saw Ninth Mile Singing Pub, she rubbed them and asked Ye Min. You never get to leave work early, so lets have a drink. Were you nning to go home, bury yourself under the covers and sleep? Ye Min pulled Yuan Tian out of the car while she spoke. Someone just died and Im enjoying myself here... Yuan Tian was still slightly hesitant. She raised her head and saw that posters advertising a singer were disyed above the door. The Ninth Mile Singing Pub had invited a currently well-known online personality over to increase their poprity. Yuan Tian had been quite interested in this male celebrity for a period of time before this. I brought you to a bustling ce like this to meet people because you were having such a bad day. But we dont have to fool around, we can go home after weve had a few drinks! Ye Min was a few years older than Yuan Tian. She was Yuan Tians surgical assistant who frequently came out to have fun because her workload was usually somewhat lighter than Yuan Tians. Yuan Tians steps were sluggish, so Ye Min dragged her into the bar. The bar was rather empty. This was a time when it was less buy; when the evening show was scheduled. However, several people who gathered in groups had already started to down their drinks. Under the bright lights of the debauched environment were numerous mboyantly dressed young people with contrasting appearances. Some of them even nced at Yuan Tians direction. Ye Min and Yuan Tian chose their bar stools before the bartender came over to serve them. Two ming Whiskeys! Ye Min snapped her fingers. Smiling, the server said, One moment! The server hurriedly brought over two sses of glittering and translucent blue liquid and ced them on the bar counter. He held a lighter in each hand and ignited both sses of liquid. Five secondster, he used a red cloth made of special material to cover and extinguish the mes, before turning to Ye Min and Yuan Tian, saying, Enjoy,dies! Yuan Tians alcohol tolerance was alright but she rarely drank hot and exciting drinks like this ming Whiskey. Ye Min took hers and finished it in one gulp. Yuan Tian raised her ss as well before the burning sensation instantly flowed through her esophagus and into her stomach. Thats addictive! Ill have another ss! Ye Min became livelier when she drank. Yuan Tian smiled but remained silent, fully aware that she was putting everything on the line to participate in this activity. Ye Min started to lose control of herself once she had downed her third drink. The air conditioning in the bar was clearly running properly, but the two women felt so warm that they wanted to strip. They happily drank until they were dripping wet. Meanwhile, several people had already fixed their gazes on Yuan Tian and Ye Min long ago. Hey! Look, isnt that your girl Tian? Chen Yu was speaking. Yan Jiangsheng immediately turned back to look when he heard Chen Yu mentioning Yuan Tian. The petite woman who was leaning against the bar counter had certainly drunk till her eyes were zed over. She wore a short t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. When the woman raised her arms, her t-shirt bunched up into a crop top that revealed a section of her pale t midriff, making it impossible for the several men around her not to do a double take. Yan Jiangsheng could not stop his temper from ring up when he saw that. He threw the cards out of his hands and said, You guys can keep ying, Im going over to take a look! Chapter 293 - Tian Tian, I’m Finally Back…

Chapter 293: Tian Tian, Im Finally Back...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion A girl at the side saw Yan Jiangsheng walking over and immediately jumped out of the sofa to grab him. Ah Sheng, why are you going there? Yuan Tian, she... Let go, Yao Yue! I just want to go and have a look. She drank too much and Im afraid that it might be dangerous for her to be in such a chaotic ce! Yan Jiangsheng had blond hair and a cold, aloof look on his handsome face. He nced at the woman who was grabbing him and she flinched from the look in his eyes. Lian Yao Yue insisted on not letting go of her hands as she bit her lower lips. The beautiful girl nced towards Yuan Tian, and hints of hatred appeared in her eyes. The others who were ying cards saw what happened and they tried to soothe the tension, Forget it, Ah Sheng. You should stop thinking about your cutie-pie, otherwise, Little Yue will be unhappy... Yeah! That cutie-pies brother is not someone that you should mess around with, so she should be fine. If youre still worried, you can just watch over her from here... I still remember the time when we went to the Yuan Family Mansion when we were younger. The Third Young Master Yuan told his guard to let the dogs out and chase after us. He was truly ruthless! Lian Yao Yue saw how the others were standing on her side, so she continued to behave recklessly, I wont let you go! The words only made Yan Jiangsheng even more annoyed. He shook his hands off Lian Yao Yues grip and said coldly, yet somehow apologetically, Yao Yue, sit here for a while, Ill be right back. Yuan Tian could not remember clearly how many sses had she drank. The saying, having a terrible teammate is worse than having an excellent teammate was truly fitting for someone like Ye Min. She asked Ye Min to bring her out to have some fun, yet she got herself drunk instead? Yuan Tian leaned on the top of the bar counter and saw that Ye Min was still quite sober. A few people came over to talk to her and it seemed like they were people that she knew. Yuan Tian was feeling a little low-spirited, How can I be this dumb? I cant even win you in drinking! Ah... Before she couldplete her sentence, Yan Jiangsheng grabbed her soft flexible waist and pulled her into his arms. Yuan Tian sobered up a little from being frightened. Right when she was about to wave her fist furiously. Whos having funny ideas with me? She turned around and saw Yan Jiangsheng. At that instance, her ssic sweet smile quickly appeared on her tiny little face, Wow! Its you, big white bunny! As she spoke, she leaned her body towards Yan Jiangsheng and put her arms around his neck. Then, she rested her head on his shoulder ambiguously and obediently, My buddy, big white bunny. Come, have a drink with me... Yan Jiangsheng frowned and said softly, Have you lost your mind? Youre already this drunk and youre still drinking? Follow me, Ill send you home! Ye Min noticed that he was someone that Yuan Tian knew, so she continued to chat with the others smilingly. After Yuan Tian heard that he wanted to send her home, she nodded obediently, Okay! Its good to go home... Then, Ill go home after you have a drink with me! After saying that, she took the ss of alcohol and handed it to Yan Jiangsheng, Use my cup so that well have an indirect kiss, okay? Yan Jiangsheng was neither mad nor irritated since he knew that Yuan Tian had always been like this. Despite all her teasing and flirting, she had only ever seen him as her buddy in her heart... Yuan Tian! Yan Jiangshengs voice became hoarse and the look in his eyes darkened. His throat trembled slightly as he warned her slowly, yet coldly, If you want to kiss me, you can do it directly! Yuan Tian heard it and the look on her face changed in fright. Then, she loosened her arms around his neck, Hehe, Im just... jo-joking... Well, Im not! Yan Jiangsheng did not have a hint ofughter on his face. Moreover, his cool looks attracted the attention of a few girls around him. They secretly drooled over such a handsome man and looked at Yuan Tian like a nuisance hanging around him... Who gave you the nerve? A cold hoarse voice was hearding from behind them. Right at that moment, Yuan Tians soft body was being pulled over by that man. Yuan Tian bumped into that mans chest. Suddenly, she felt sore in her nose and she was so close to tearing up. She raised her head and saw the man who pulled her away. He had a light scar on her left cheek yet he did not look ferocious. On the contrary, he looked dangerously handsome and the scar was an addition to his irresistible looks... The mans breaths were as though the ones of a beast. He looked wild, dangerous, and extremely aggressive... Yuan Tian felt her heart tremble slightly and she intuitively wanted to escape from his arms! She did not recognize this man. For someone with courage like hers, she was never afraid of anyones vition. After all, she had beaten up quite a number of men to teach them a lesson. However, this man made her feel nothing but fear in her heart... Tian Tian... That man could see the fear in Yuan Tians blurry, misty eyes, so he whispered into her ears softly, Do you still remember me? His warm and distracting breath blew onto the side of her ear. The ticklish and numb feeling made Yuan Tians body shiver slightly. She shook her head and pushed that man with her little hands so that he would not lean too close to her. She then said with her trembling voice, No... I dont want to... She heard a howling voice from a corner deep inside her heart and her instinct to escape made her look at the man who was embracing her while she trembled. Let go of her! Who are the two of you? Yan Jiangsheng noticed that Yuan Tian did not know the two of them, so he reached his hands out to pull her away. Unfortunately, Ming Yang, who was standing at the side, grabbed Yan Jiangshengs hand and threatened him with a low voice, Leave, if you do not wish to die! Back in the day, Yan Jiangsheng was also not someone to be messed around with. He did restrain himself, but it did not mean that he was one to be afraid of getting into trouble. Thus, he grabbed a beer bottle from the table next to him and smashed it without demur... The people that came along with Yan Jiangsheng saw him making a move, so they quickly put the cards down and rushed over... Chen Muqiu did not stay to watch the fight. After all, Ming yang had undergone professional training done by the Special Forces and he had no trouble in fighting against ten of them. Thus, that man carried Yuan Tian away. In addition to having a tall build, his strength overpowered her so greatly that her resistance felt just like a mosquito bite to him... * Third Young Master Yuan, your sister... Was... Kidnapped by a mysterious man in ck... Yan Jiangsheng had a cold look and a wounded face. He remained silent as he watched his little buddy calling Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan jumped out of the chair after hearing that. He took a deep puff from his cigar while he strode back and forth, Where are you guys? By the time Yuan Xuan rushed to Nine Meters Long Song Bar, the scene was already a mess. Even though the manager of the bar wasining to Yan Jiangsheng, the handsome man said calmly regardless of the bruises on the face, Boss Du, put everything into my bill. Calcte how much money youve lost and Ill send someone to deliver it to you. Yan Jiangsheng raised his head and saw Yuan Xuans gloomy face. He shook his hands free while Yao Yue was cleaning the wound on his hand. Then, he said briefly, Lets go, the almighty Third Young Master Yuan is here! Yuan Xuan saw Yan Jiangsheng the moment he entered the bar and he frowned. Yan Jiangsheng knew that Yuan Xuan was never a fan of Yuan Tian hanging out with the few of them. Hence, he walked past Yuan Xuan without paying any attention to him. Get me the surveince tape! In fact, Yuan Xuan already had an idea on who was the one behind it, but he still came to the bar to verify his spections. * It was already veryte when Chen Muqiu left with Yuan Tian. They did not return to the Liu Li Vi and Ming Yang used his spare identification to book a long term deluxe suite. Chen Muqiu had prepared beforehand and he told the hotel staff to turn off the surveince camera in ces where he appeared. The staff from the hotel saw the overwhelming aura around this man, so they dared not offend him. Although there were many people like Chen Muqiu who carried himself with elegance and temperament of a noble, his eyes were filled with a blood-thirsty murderous intent. Yuan Tian fell asleep and she was being ced on the bed by Chen Muqiu. Her fair and delicate little face radiated a seductive sheen while she was asleep. Chen Muqiu sighed and said softly, Tian Tian, Im finally back... Chapter 294 - Additional Chapter for the Day

Chapter 294: Additional Chapter for the Day

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Xuan saw the figure of the man in the surveince, he immediately knew it was Shen Muqiu, without a doubt. As he left with Tian Qi. he ordered Yan Jun to first head to Liu Li Vi to secure the area. When Shen Muqiu saw that Yuan Xuan had lost no time in calling him, a callous smile emerged in the corner of his lips. Yuan Xuan, my apologies foring uninvited. I had to, since you wouldnt allow me to see her. Shen Muqius words were little, but he spoke in a reasonable manner, even though it was he who had acted arbitrarily. Shen Muqiu, youre ying with fire! Yuan Xuan said inly. Send Yuan Tian back and I wont hold this matter against you. Otherwise, you wont live to see another day in Luohai! Haha, does Third Young Master Yuan think Im that easily frightened? Shen Muqiu the man who had been hovering between life and death, heard Yuan Xuan subtly threatening him, and replied with an unconcerned tone. Yuan Xuan sat in the car, casting his gloomy gaze outside the window. Its fine if you dont give a damn, but Ill remind you; dont forget that your group of brothers are still at Liu Li Vi, and that includes the inheritance left by your father! Yuan Xuan finished his words and paused for a moment to give Shen Muqiu some time to think. He then went on to say. If you dare touch Yuan Tian, you can kiss those goodbye! As those words fell on Shen Muqius ears, even the sound of him gritting his teeth could be heard by Yuan Xuan through the speaker. Yuan Xuan, arent you ruthless ? Shen Yuqius tone was very light, masking any emotion he might have had within. His fists, however, were clenched hard as the murderous aura that emanated from him. Shen Muqiu, I believe Yuan Tians kidnapping tonight was a spur-of-the-moment act, was it not? Yuan Xuan thought back to seeing Yan Jiangsheng in the bar, and he had a slight notion of what had happened. People like Shen Muqiu would not start a fight with a few ignorant brats. However, if it involved Yan Tian, Yuan Xuan had reason to believe that Shen Muqiu might even murder someone. Youre back in Luohai for a mission. Uncle Shen was wronged back then, but youre not putting your mind into reversing the verdict, and instead, you got entangled with your personal romance... Enough! Shen Muqiu paced about in the room as Yuan Xuans criticisms continued. , Know this. I will not let you or the Yuan family stop me from taking this woman! ! His angry voice caused the little woman sleeping on the bed to be uneased, and Yuan Tian stirred in her sleep. The moment Shen Muqiu saw that, he rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and suppressed his voice. I just want to stay with her for a night. Enough with the talk about principles and whatnot. Ill have someone send her back tomorrow! ... Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuan returning indoors. his face one of unbearable gloom and unsightliness. She had overheard the call Yuan Xuan had received before he left, and as such had an inkling that this had something to do with Yuan Tian. During the time when Yuan Xuan was away, she was bursting at the seams with anxiety she was unable to sit still. She hastily strode up the moment Yuan Xuan came home and forced the question. What happened to Big Tian? Im almost scared to death... Yuan Xuan pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace and saw that her face had paled out of fright. He recalled that he had forgotten to inform her when he left and understood her concerns. Its nothing! Dont worry! Shell be back tomorrow. Yuan Xuan took a cursory look at his mobile phone. No missed calls. He could not help but sigh in defeat. This woman; she could be exceptionally well-behaved when she was obedient. Not a single call, even when she was worried sick. She had chosen instead to well in her anxiety and wait quietly in her home. Little Chenyan, if theres ever another situation in the future that causes you to so worried you cant sleep, you can always call me. Yuan Xuans voice was a sentimental one. Mu Chenyan was stunned for a moment. She then smiled bitterly. I thought you wouldnt have told me anything, and that youd ignore my worries anyway, so I didnt think of calling you... Yuan Xuans heart was gently prodded. He tightened his arms around her as his embrace became firmer. Little Chenyan, its not that I wouldnt want you to know, its just that a lot of things would only bring you more distress once you learn of them. I want you to live with ease... Well, this doesnt exactly ease now, is it? The corner of Mu Chenyans lips curled upwards slightly. She pulled away from Yuan Xuans embrace and remarked faintly, Your actions only make me feel stupid... Yuan Xuan took in Mu Chenyans stubbornness, and a feeling of sudden helplessness overcame him. Little Chenyan, forgive me... Whats there to forgive? Mu Chenyan stared as Yuan Xuans gaze softened, yet his starry pupils remained just as resplendent as they always were. Worried that they would draw her in and forever encase her in a trance, she quickly interrupted Yuan Xuan. Itste now. We better go to bed! I still have to go to work tomorrow... Well, if you want to go out and enjoy yourself, you can do that too! Yuan Xuan set her free, just like that, which was to Mu Chenyan something both lucky and unexpected. It seemed that acting coquettishly once in a while was something good... ... Su Qingcheng was quite surprised to see Mu Chenyan disappear, only to return a few dayster. During lunch at noon, Mu Chenyan recounted the story of her visit to Ye Kun at the hospital. Su Qingcheng was taken aback. You mean to say that Zhao Yanni wanted to kill Ye Kun? Well in that case, I really should tell you that the previous investigation did implicate your brother... Su Qingcheng revealed all the ins and outs to Mu Chenyan, ignoring Wu Huais order to keep mum on the matter. Mu Chenyan felt even more dismal after hearing her out. My heads all muddled up. Who am I supposed to trust now? When Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans agony, an idea popped into her mind, and she whispered, Why dont you go to Feng Rao? Since she can give you information, it means that she can contact Mu Chenwu! The apt words enlightened Mu Chenyan, and her gaze suddenly became determined and calm. Yeah, how could I havepletely forgotten about her? Ill find Feng Rao. Maybe she knows where my brother is! Acting on her words, Mu Chenyan got off work early and messaged Yuan Xuan, saying that she would be having dinner with Su Qingcheng. Seeing that Mu Chenyan was in a hurry to look for Feng Rao, Su Qingchengmented, That womans not a simple one, you might get nothing out of this! ! Mu Chenyan smiled, Theres always n B! As she spoke, she took out something the size of a button from her bag and handed it to Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng took it and studied it. A micro-tapping device? Mu Chenyan nodded. This maye in handy. Nothing ventured nothing gained, anyway. I already have the app on my phone, so I can listen in from a certain range! Su Qingcheng smiled as she looked at Mu Chenyan and sighed. Woman, its a pity that you arent a police officer. Youre so full of ideas! My ways arepletely unorthodox. If I were police, I cant just be bugging someone, right? Su Qingcheng nodded. Thats true. The police focus on collecting evidence, but your methods are hardly scientific. Mu Chenyan waved the tapping device in her hand and chuckled as she said, Wish me luck! ... When Feng Rao received the call from Mu Chenyan, she was quite surprised. She looked at the time after hanging up the phone call. Half an hour left. Feng Rao took out another mobile phone from the drawer in her bedroom and dialed a number. The call went through, and a mans deep andzy voice sounded through the speaker. What is it? Feng Rao heard the impatience in Mu Chenwus voice and exined, Mu Chenyan asked me to meet her. Shes probably going to ask about you. What should I do? The voice on the other end was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, the man lowered his voice and sneered coldly. This sister of mine is always full of unwarranted thoughts. If you decline her, shell definitely call you up again. Just go, and follow my instructions! Chapter 295 - I Still Have Today

Chapter 295: I Still Have Today

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Feng Rao drove her bright yellow Ferrari to the Night Owl Bar, where she nned to meet Mu Chenyan. Feng Rao frequented the ce. The bar was still empty because the evening show had yet to start. Mu Chenyan chose a quieter corner. She rarely visited pubs like this. The only reason she chose this ce was to suit Feng Rao. Mu Chenyan ordered a fruity alcoholic drink. The bitterness of the alcohol was absent, having been mixed with sweet fruit juice. Feng Rao came over and saw that Mu Chenyan was unusually calm. She stared at her and assessed the situation with her gaze. When she recalled Mu Chenwus opinion of his younger sister, she could not help but mentallypliment her intelligence! Miss Feng, Im sorry for disturbing you! The drinks are on me today. Mu Chenyan waved her hand to signal to a waiter. Feng Rao sat down and ordered a ss of fruit wine as Mu Chenyan did. Her gaze shifted towards the woman opposite her Its fine. I thought that youd havee looking for me long ago! Mu Chenyan smiled. Yes, Im not going to beat around the bush. Miss Feng, youve probably guessed that I came looking for you because of my brother. The corners of Feng Raos mouth twitched when she noticed that Mu Chenyan went straight to the point. I dont know where Mu Chenwus hiding. He came to me before and I helped him by getting you to the cemetery so that you two could meet. However, I havent seen him since! Feng Rao unhurriedly ryed the excuses she had prepared while observing Mu Chenyans reaction. Your brother said that Yuan Xuan had viciously pursued him numerous times. He had only thought of that idea because he was worried that Yuan Xuan had tapped your phone. Feng Rao took a sip of wine once she finished speaking, while Mu Chenyan nodded. If you put it that way, I can believe the things that happened before, but I dont believe that you arent in touch with my brother, Miss Feng! Mu Chenyan raised her ss and took a sip of her own. Miss Feng, you know about the precious item hidden inside my familys treasury. Surely you must know the owners whereabouts too? Feng Raos expression changed upon hearing that. Mu Chenyan, thats bullsh*t! Feng Rao reacted somewhat excessively and raised her tone, causing several people who were chatting around them to nce over. How would I know that your familys treasury was stolen? Did you hear those rumors from the people in the police department? Calm down, Miss Feng. Mu Chenyan pacified the flushed Feng Rao when she saw that the people around them had focused their attention here. It doesnt matter if youre willing to tell me, but if you can contact my brother, please tell him that I want to see him. Feng Rao sighed and shifted her gaze. Im very sorry, but I dont know how to get in touch with him. You came to the wrong person, Miss Mu. How can I contact him if you, his sister, cant even do that? Mu Chenyans anger subsided when she saw that Feng Rao was not resisting at all. She reached out and raised her wine ss. She smiled, saying, If thats the case, I wont trouble you anymore, Miss Feng. Lets drink... Mu Chenyans hand unexpectedly trembled just as she was about to ce it against her mouth. The ss slipped before its contents sttered all over Feng Rao. The wine terribly stained Feng Raos white silk dress. Oh no! Im sorry, I wasnt holding it properly. Mu Chenyan hurriedly wiped Feng Rao with some tissue as she spoke. How am I going to leave if this doesnte off? Feng Raos new dress cost several thousand dors. Her heart burned with rage when she looked at it and realized that it had to be discarded. One of her Ferraris headlights was torn off during the collision with Yuan Tians car when she had cut her off to pass Mu Chenyan a note. This time, Mu Chenyan had dirtied her dress. She was truly unfortunate. Whatever, Im going to the washroom to rinse it with water! Feng Rao rose and went to the washroom when she realized that the blue stains could not be wiped off with just tissue paper. Mu Chenyan watched Feng Rao leave with an apologetic look on her face. Feng Rao returned ten minutester. She grabbed her gold-colored Hermes satchel from the table and nodded at Mu Chenyan. My hands are tied so thats all for today. Goodbye, Miss Mu. Mu Chenyan rose and nodded in kind. Take care, Miss Feng. Feng Rao gently sighed as she exited the bar. She drove away before she parked in a corner and sent a message to Mu Chenwu. Mu Chenyan got up and left the bar as well. She believed that Feng Rao was telling the truth. If Feng Rao could locate Mu Chenwu, Yuan Xuan would have realized this long ago. He would have sent people to follow Feng Rao and track Mu Chenwu down much earlier. However, Feng Rao was surely in contact with Mu Chenwu. If she called Mu Chenwu, perhaps it meant that she had good news to share with him. When she thought of this, Mu Chenyan hoped that her luck would improve. Yan Jun called Yuan Xuan when he saw Mu Chenyans car leaving the bars parking lot. Sir, the Mistress has already gone home, while Miss Feng had left much earlier. * Yuan Tian awakened and realized that she was lying in a strange ce. There was a spacious pale blue double bed in the apartment that was decorated with French furniture. Her surroundings were eerily quiet. She certainly felt uneasy being hungover. Her head felt as though it had split in two while her entire body was exhausted. The worst part was that she had no memory ofst nights events. Yuan Tian had never gotten drunk before. This was also the first time that she had no recollection of anything. Was this a case of amnesia? Yuan Tian supported herself and sat up on the bed with much difficulty. Her body felt extremely ufortable before she was jolted by her appearance. Where are my clothes? Yuan Tian covered her chest with her hands. She was only dressed in a strappy nightgown that exposed her smooth skin to the air. She was terribly shocked by the faint but dubious purple marks that remained there. Who changed her clothes? Her bra was missing too! More importantly, what were these faint purple marks on her body? Yuan Tians heart was filled with anger and fear. Had someone vited her? Her little hands gripped the corners of the nket while she forced herself to calm down. Even if Id been vited, I still have to take care of the current situation! Ill have to take the pill as well to minimize the damage. These thoughts chaotically bounced around in Yuan Tians mind. She frantically got up and checked her private parts but there were no marks there. Aside from the faint love bites, the rest of her body did not ache abnormally. She let out a drawn-out sigh. Fear manifested in her heart. Had she encountered a pervert? She stepped barefoot on the soft fluffy carpet that covered the floor. Her disheveled hair and unkempt clothes were reflected through the floor length mirror. She wanted to weep but she had no tears left to cry. I still have today! Yuan Tian realized that she had gotten herself into trouble by getting drunk. She swore to herself that she needed to increase her alcohol tolerance in the future! Youre awake? A deep male voice suddenly echoed behind her. Yuan Tian instantly darted away from the mirror. She turned around to look at the man who had entered from another room. Who are you? Yuan Tian guessed that this man had probably brought her here and changed her clothes. Her little face reddened as she could not restrain her temper from ring up. She looked at him warily. Who am I? murmured Shen Muqiu quietly. His tone was rather miserable while tiredness seeped through his gaze. Tian Tian, Im Shen Muqiu. Dont you remember me? Yuan Tian was still on guard. She coldly nced at the man before her. He wore an exquisite pale blue suit and leaned his arm against the door frame. His piercingly-cold gaze was tinged with warmth. He had a tall and imposing figure while an aristocratic air was faintly present on the forehead of his exceptionally handsome face. One could tell that his refined aura was the result of being born in an influential family. Im sorry but I dont know you! Yuan Tian said coldly. Im very sorry if youre an old friend of the Yuan Family, but youd be even more of a stranger to me. Yuan Tian nced at her disheveled appearance. She continued, Could you tell me what happened? Chapter 296 - My Dear Sister, I Know You Better Than That

Chapter 296: My Dear Sister, I Know You Better Than That

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian nced at her disheveled appearance while suppressing the rage in her heart. She whispered, Could you tell me what happened? Shen Muqiu could not help butugh. Yuan Tian resembled a hedgehog that was covered in spikes from head to toe. However, her pretty little face was exactly the way he remembered it years ago. Its alright if you dont remember me. We can get to know each other slowlyter on. As for these marks, just consider them as presents from me in honor of our first meeting, okay? Yuan Tian was so furious that she nearly spat out blood. Sir, are you saying that you did this? Yuan Tian could not stop herself from wanting to stab this b*stard when she thought of how he had vited her in her confused state. How dare he take advantage of her when she was in trouble? You dont have to be shy, Miss Yuan. Of course, I wouldnt refuse if you wanted to return the favor! Shen Muqiu said this with a straight face, as though it was perfectly normal. Yuan Tian nearly coughed up blood again! How shameless! If she had not been not skimpily dressed, Yuan Tian would have definitely given him a piece of her mind. However, she would be at a disadvantage if she moved too much now... Yes, Ill take note of Tian Tiansments. Youve been asleep for such a long time. Are you hungry? As he spoke, Shen Muqiu stepped forward and attempted to pull Yuan Tian over. However, he had not expected that this woman would be so cautious against him. She took a step backward and nearly exploded at him. Who are you calling Tian Tian? Shut up! Shen Muqiu was shocked. A miserable look shed across his gaze when he saw that Yuan Tian was on high alert and distancing herself from him. You still have to eat no matter what I call you. I bought this... Im not eating your food! Yuan Tian rejected the mans offer while rage filled her face. How would I know if youve poisoned the food? Youre a despicable person whod step on others when theyre down! Yuan Tian was no longer concerned about being polite when she remembered that this man had seen her naked and harassed her. If her words were harsh then so be it! She would settle her score with him once she had gotten her clothes in a while... If youre worried, you can eat after Ive taken a bite. Is that alright? Shen Muqiupromised and spoke gently. You... Ill do anything to make you eat! Yuan Tian was unaware of the ruthless nature of the man before her when he was faced with violent enemies. She knew even less about his bloodthirsty heart that stemmed from a brutal past. This man had crawled out from the depths of hell... However, this perverse and ruthless man was currently patiently coaxing her. He had suppressed the vicious nature of the demon in his heart. He waspletely courteous and gentle now. Yuan Tian became rather hesitant after hearing him speak. She was unaware that she had messily vomitedst night. Her clothes were smelly and disgusting while her stomach was empty. When she heard that there was food, her stomach growled just in time... Shen Muqiu smiled sincerely. He turned around and quickly brought out the dishes and snacks from the little kitchen that he had prepared much earlier. He ced them neatly on the small dining table. Yuan Tians favorite strawberry pudding and yoghurt were also ced on the corner of the table. How did he know that she liked strawberry-vored food? Yuan Tians heart was conflicted but she could not resist the temptation of food. Her legs were slightly wobbly. Are youing to eat? Shen Muqiu acted sickeningly sappy when he was being affectionate towards women. Smiles lit up in the corners of his eyes before he continued, Should I feed you? Scram! Yuan Tian was brought up well. She would never allow a stranger to repeatedly seduce her! Shen Muqiu did not kick up a fuss. He remained calm as he opened the container of food on the table. A delicious aroma wafted through their surroundings. This food was from the Han River Restaurant. Yuan Tian usually loved this the most. Her father Yuan Tangshuo doted on her but when he was asionally too busy dealing with surgeries, he would send someone to buy this for her. She would never get bored of Hunanese food! Yuan Tian suddenly felt as though she had abandoned her morals... Shen Muqiu rose and went to another room. You can stay here and eat slowly. Im going to iron your clothes. Yuan Tian watched him leave before she scanned her surroundings. There was no one else here. She went to the bathroom to wash up first before she came out and scoffed down the food! Although that man had taken advantage of herst night, he had not continued and gotten away with it in the end. When she realized that he would not make any moves on her today, she decided to just eat and think about thister. Through the crack between the door, Shen Muqiu watched Yuan Tian happily eating. The corners of his lips stretched into a smile... * Feng Rao told Mu Chenwu about her meeting with Mu Chenyan in great detail. Mu Chenwu called her fifteen minutester. Feng Rao usually initiated the calls. This was the first time that Mu Chenwu had called her on his own. Chenwu, your sister is probably suspicious about me. I dont know if youre safe over there now but I want to see you! Feng Rao sounded rather anxious. Dont panic. That girl has been blinded by Yuan Xuan. Now that hes after me, I cant just see you as I please, and its much harder for me to meet Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenwu paused. Feng Rao said, What should I do? She wont believe anything I say. Since shes living with Yuan Xuan, I cant tell her that Im in contact with you either... You cant let her find out. The situation is slightlyplicated now because Yuan Xuan is manipting Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenwu murmured. Manipting? What do you mean? asked Feng Rao. The problem lies with Ye Kun, the same Ye Kun whos staying in the military hospital! Are you talking about the poisoning case that I was also previously called in for investigation? Yes! He was hunted down because he was carrying the records of the transactions between Yuan Tangbai and Ze Da, the previous leader of Xi Fans rebel forces. He had also obtained the map to Yuan Tangbais personal little treasury! Ye Kun attempted to find those items after Yuan Tangbai was killed, but Ze Das subordinates went after him because Ze Da wanted those things as well! Feng Rao eximed, Why didnt you tell Mu Chenyan these things? Whats the point? Her investigations in City C and the information that she obtained from Luo Hais police department have already shown that I brought Zhao Ruoxin and her mother back, and that I sent Mrs Zhao and her daughter to kill Ye Kun! Mu Chenwus tone was somewhat panicked. The sound of falling items echoed behind him. Feng Rao was terribly frightened but she anxiously consoled him. Dont get riled up first! Perhaps I can arrange a meeting between you and Mu Chenyan so that you can exin the situation to her. Youre her brother, after all. Your words are more convincing to her than anything that anyone else says! Mu Chenwu was silent for several minutes. His deep voice instructed, Ill leave this to you then. Be careful not to let Yuan Xuan discover this. If he catches me, the Mu Family will really be finished! Dont worry, Ill contact you immediately if theres any news! Feng Rao hung up after speaking. The corners of her lips curled upward into a sinister smile when she took the button-sized micro-tapping device out of her Hermes bag. Hmph, your brother has seen through your schemes, little vixen! * Mu Chenwu hung up. He stood on the balcony of the mountaintop vi and swirled the wine in his ss. He stared at the setting sun that was shrouded by the evening mist. Mu Chenyan, my dear sister, I know you better than that! Chapter 297 - Everyone Knows That Mu Chenyan Is Everything to Me

Chapter 297: Everyone Knows That Mu Chenyan Is Everything to Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan parked her car beside the road and ced her cell phone down. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly. The conversation between Mu Chenwu and Feng Rao had upset her. It would have hurt less if they had said these things to her face. It seemed as though her eyes were blinded by a dense fog. Everyone had their own excuses but she had been kept in the dark. Who was she supposed to believe? Ye Kun had nearly killed her during an insane outburst. Yuan Xuan kept his thoughts to himself. He never allowed her to ask unnecessary questions. Mu Chenwu mysteriously appeared and vanished while repeatedly stirring up trouble for her... Mistress? Yan Jun stopped his car beside hers. He got down and knocked on her cars window. Mistress, why did you park your car here? Did it break down? Mu Chenyan calmed herself down when she saw Yan Jun. She pressed a button to wind down the window. A pained expression still lingered on her face but she had to restrain herself in front of Yan Jun. No... Nothing... Im just unwell! Mu Chenyan turned her head toward the side as she spoke before herplexion slowly returned to normal. Do you want me to drive you? Initially, Yan Jun had secretly followed Mu Chenyan out of the Night Owl Bar. They drove to an area that was close to the mansion before he noticed that she parked her car beside the road for a long time. Yan Jun approached her because he was slightly worried. Its fine, I can drive myself. Mu Chenyan forced a smile before she drove away at a snails pace. Frankly, she did not know how to face Yuan Xuan when she returned to the Hibiscus Garden. * Hibiscus Garden Yuan Xuan had yet to return when Mu Chenyan came home. Ah Fu said that she had not prepared anything for dinner tonight. The Old Mistress said that everyone will go to Upper Mansion for dinner in awhile. Mistress, would you like me to make you something at home if youre not feeling well? Ah Fu asked in a concerned manner when she noticed that Mu Chenyan looked slightly tired. Mu Chenyan pondered briefly before realizing it would be inappropriate. The Old Mistress rarely asked everyone to go over and have a meal with her at Upper Mansion after the Spring Festival. The Yuan Family would probably have something to say if she refused to attend this time. Ill go after my shower. Inform the Young Master when he returns and ask him to go over first. Mu Chenyan flung her backpack off her shoulders and focused on going upstairs. * In the afternoon, Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai spent some time in the estate. Yuan Xuan had built a miniature golf course here because the estate was very close to the mansion. Both of them had just yed several rounds. The two men were fully dressed in white but the clean, bright, and unblemished color could not hide the brilliance that radiated off their bodies. It was rare for someone to look so eye-catching in white. Yan Jun had called to inform him about todays findings. Yuan Xuans heart was filled with unease when Yan Jun mentioned that Mu Chenyan looked rather absent-minded and depressed after meeting Feng Rao. His gaze turned profound while the emotions that surged through the depths of his eyes made him lose the desire to continue ying. Shao Yibai noticed the changes in Yuan Xuans emotions. The man ced his golf club on his shoulder before he maliciously smiled at Yuan Xuan. I think that Mu Chenyans only purpose in life is to fill your heart with turmoil! She hasnt even done anything but your expression has changed, your minds uneasy, and you cant even stay still. If she had exerted the slightest bit of force, Im afraid that the Mu Family would be able to crush youpletely without having to waste a single soldier! Shao Yibai had hit the nail on the head. Yuan Xuan put his golf club on the ground. His noble and elegant posture looked enchanting when he faintly smiled. Youre right! He never wanted to hide his weaknesses. He was indifferent toward them because he was no longer his previous self who was controlled by his ws. Everyone knows that Mu Chenyan is everything to me! I want to protect her but the outside world wont leave her alone. Yuan Xuan had always been coldly arrogant. He had never felt lonely even as he thread further along his difficult path alone. He only shared his personal feelings with others as a means of informing them, not because he wanted their opinions. She wanted to look for Mu Chenwu again just now! Yuan Xuan ced the golf club aside when he spoke. He snatched a white cotton towel from the towel rack and gently wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead. Hatred seeped through Yuan Xuans voice when he mentioned Mu Chenwu. That man was also from the Mu Family but he was treated in apletely different manner. When Shao Yibai gained an inkling of this, a mocking look faintly appeared on his handsome face. He smiled, saying, Are you worried that shelle home and argue with you again? Yuan Xuans gaze darkened. He raised his ss of water and gently sipped it. Its fine if she throws a little tantrum and kicks up a fuss, Ill just coax her out of it. However, Mu Chenwu will probably forget about being a loving sibling when he goes insane. If he maniptes Little Chenyan, Ill worried that the stupid woman will do as he says without thinking about her own safety! Shao Yibai was amused by Yuan Xuans appraisal of Mu Chenyan and the words that he used to describe her. He could not help butugh heartily. Yes! Sometimes, women are rather adorable when they behave foolishly. Theyre more attractive this way than when theysh out for no reason! A smile appeared on the corners of Yuan Xuans lips when he heard this. Are you talking about yourself? Shao Yibai was faintly tormented. He carelesslybed through his messy hair while looking rather agitated. My woman is too unreasonable! It looks like Ill have to wait for you to wrap this up. I have no choice but to violently drag her back to Capital City! I must hurry up then! Yuan Xuan nced at the sky. Summer nights cameter. He kept his tools and prepared to return to the mansion. His grandmother wanted everyone toe over for a meal. Everyone hade home because she had not held a family banquet in a long time. When are you nning to make your move? Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan still had an impressive trick up his sleeve. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order to Capital City has been held up so he cant leave Luo Hai for some time. I was nning to toy with him briefly but from the looks of it now, itd be better to end this sooner because of Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuans t tone concealed murderous intentions. A hint of darkness shed across the mans unusually handsome face. * During the family feast in the Upper Mansion The Old Mistress had not organized family banquets like this for a long time. She knew that young people like her grandchildren preferred spending time alone with their spouses now that they were married. Ruoxin refused toe out and socialize because Zhao Yannis incident had upset her. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan was her only granddaughter-inw who remained at home while Wen Ya was hospitalized. However, the Old Mistress liked her the least. The family banquet was held in the main dining room. Yuan Xuan was thest person toe home. Everyone was already seated when he came here after his shower. Yuan Zhuan usually spoke the least. However, he cracked a joke when he saw Yuan Xuan today. Thest person toe home was supposed to drink as punishment. Your brothers and sisters looked so helpless before you arrived! Yuan Zhuan shifted his gaze toward Mu Chenyan as he spoke. Yuan Xuan saw the dejected expression across that womans face. The maid pulled out a chair for him to sit when he walked forward. The Old Mistress told the kitchen staff to serve the food once everyone was present. Yuan Xuans sudden arrival shrouded the dining area in a mysterious silence. Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo who were happily chatting earlier were now quiet. Second Uncle nced at Yuan Xuan with a prating and unreadable gaze. Yuan Xuan did not look away when his uncles eyes met his. A mocking smile appeared on the corners of his lips while a hint of irritation stirred in Yuan Tangzhongs heart. Now that the young wolf had finally matured, there was no need for him to conceal his violent nature anymore! The Old Mistress appeared to be in a rather good mood. After all, everyone still attempted to hide the conflict between family members from her. On the surface, this household still looked harmonious. Chapter 298 - The Old Mistress Was Not Asking for Anyone’s Opinion When She Said This

Chapter 298: The Old Mistress Was Not Asking for Anyones Opinion When She Said This

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Old Mistress did not want to worry about so many things in her old age. She had learned to shut her eyes to certain things. This affected the entire familys interests. The woman who had lived for more than half of a century clearly possessed the demeanor of a respected older rtive. Its difficult for me to see all of you. Now that everyone is present today, I have something to tell you. Everyone put their bowls and chopsticks down while they waited for the Old Mistress instructions. The first matter concerns Ruoxin! The Old Mistress nced at the obedient girl beside her with tears glistening in her eyes as she spoke. Ruoxin, is actually my Qinger... The dining table descended into chaos! Aside from Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan, Yuan Tian had also discovered this conclusion long ago. Everyone else inhaled a breath of cold air. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian looked at each other. They did not know who revealed this information to the Old Mistress, much less her aim when she mentioned this matter. Wen Yas face was ashen while her entire body trembled. She nced at Shu Qinger before she looked at the Old Mistress. In a quivering voice, she asked, Grandmother, what do you mean? Yuan Tangzhong was surprised as well. Mother, are you unwell? Why are you suddenly saying this? Yuan Ran was a coward. She unconsciously thought of the murder case when Qinger was mentioned. She quietly eximed in shock but she was too afraid to interrupt. Its a long story! The Old Mistress pulled Qingers hand when she spoke. Tear drops rolled down the corners of her eyes but she quickly wiped them away. Im not spouting nonsense and Im not confused! Ill tell you the details of this story another time. When Qinger returned, I felt as though I was resurrected from the dead as well. When I see Hong Yan, I can say that Ive fulfilled my promise to her! Hong Yan was Shu Qingers grandmother. She had previously entrusted Qinger in the care of her good friend. Everyone knew that the Old Mistress treasured old friendships. Qingers incident had always been a sore point for her. However, she had yet to fully ept these changes because the situation was ratherplicated. Yuan Zhe and his father looked at each other. They were too afraid to say anything unnecessary during this family banquet. If the Old Mistress knew about such a serious incident, Yuan Xuan had probably discovered it long ago. Wen Yas voice trembled as she asked, Who did they kill? Her frightened gaze shifted towards Shu Qinger. The Old Mistress emotions were slightly agitated. Her voice quivered as well, saying, It was the real Ruoxin! That child pretended to be Qinger. No one saw any inkling of it when she was hospitalized in Luo Hai. Everyone assumed that her memories were scattered and that she behaved abnormally because she was mentally ill. The young women at the table muttered quietly. Mu Chenyan could tell that everyone aside from herself knew that Qinger had previously stayed in Zong He Sanatorium for a period of time. No one suspected anything about the changes in Zhao Ruoxin when she returned to Luo Hai because of this. They only shared life experiences when they were younger because Qinger had studied abroad since she was a child. She spent very little time interacting with her family at home. Qinger experienced great emotional changes when she fell sick. They affected her personality and temperament. Her memories were also fractured, making it impossible for her to remember the things that happened when she was younger. Who would have imagined that she had been secretly swapped with another person? Mu Chenyan saw Shu Qinger shoot a provocative gaze at her. Traces of mockery were also hidden behind her arrogantly pleased smile. Chenyan seemed to realize that this wildly ambitious woman had slowly revealed herself as Qinger to the Old Mistress because of Yuan Xuan. In the end, she was not assured although Yuan Xuan had promised to let her remain locally. She had sought protection from the Old Mistress because she was the only person in this household who could control Yuan Xuan. Old Mistress would never allow her to return to Italy now that she had switched back to this identity. Yuan Xuans profound gaze fell on Shu Qinger. In a gentle tone, he said, Grandmother, are you saying that you want to clear up Qingers identity with the outside world? The Old Mistress nodded but seemed slightly hesitant. She used a tone which suggested that she was seeking advice, saying, I called everyone here today to discuss this matter! She nced at Qinger before her eyes scanned across all her rtives. After all, the previous case affected us very badly that year. If we bring it up again now, Im worried that itll leave a bad impression on the outside world! However, Qinger has returned in the end. Since the Yuan Family is still influential in Luo Hai, cant we give her some form of status? The Old Mistress was not asking for anyones opinion when she said this. Everyone shifted their gaze toward Yuan Xuan. Qinger looked rather hopeful as well while she waited for Yuan Xuan to speak. Mu Chenyan felt stressed on Yuan Xuans behalf at this moment. She remained calm and lowered her eyelids without looking at Yuan Xuan. If she just needs an identity, itll be fine for her to continue on as Ruoxin! The matchmaking event is about to begin in a few days. The sons of Luo Hais aristocratic families want to get married. As the Yuan Family is supposed to host this years matchmaking event, I think that itll be a good time to introduce Ruoxin to the rest of the world! Yuan Xuan gingerly struck the surface of the table with his ivory chopsticks. Its good that you know Qingers real identity now. The backstory of her identity will also continue to stay with you, grandmother. Are titles really that important? The Old Mistress realized that this was also reasonable when she heard it. It was difficult enough for her own family to ept this sudden matter, but outsiders would probably make thoughtless remarks. Qingers gaze was filled with disappointment. She did not care about the title. However, Yuan Xuans attitude showed there was no ce for her in his heart... Brother Xuan, I... It doesnt matter whether youre Qinger or Ruoxin, well continue to treat you like our little sister! Yuan Xuan suddenly interrupted Shu Qinger. A sorrowful look appeared on the ambitious womans face when her mood temporarily worsened. Im everyones little sister! Yuan Tian muttered. The youngest child in the household was extremely upset now. Lu Shan was worried that this naughty girl would say something and cause trouble again. She secretly pinched her underneath the table... Tears formed in Yuan Tians eyes when she was pinched. The corners of her lips drooped downward before she angrily pouted her little mouth. Mom, doesnt our hospital have a department that does maternity tests? Lu Shan could not connect the dots at that time. She asked, Yes, we do. Why? We should go and do a maternity test tomorrow. I suspect that I may be someone elses unwanted child! There was a deste look on Yuan Tians face. Lu Shan was amused but annoyed at the same time. She sneaked a nce at Yuan Tangshuo. This is all your fault! Yuan Tangshuo disagreed. He felt that Yuan Tian had an extremely good attitude. It was truly difficult for his daughter to grow up robustly when the members of the Yuan Family treated her with such disdain throughout so many years. On the other hand, Qinger was a highly ambitious child from the outside. Yuan Tangshuo nced at Yuan Xuan and Qinger. He gently sighed, Mother, you stubbornly allowed this girl to stay in our household despite the confusion. This matter has be problematic in the end! Lu Shan red at her husband when he eximed like this. He was usually a quiet man. Dont make the Old Mistress unhappy now. No one in this family would dare to disobey her because Father spoiled her. Moreover, this is Yuan Xuans problem so dont butt in! Yuan Zhe remained silent on the sidelines all this while. When he looked at Qinger, he suddenly understood the extent of Mu Chenwus slyness. He thought of every possible way to get her into the Yuan Family so that she could disrupt their household because he had probably figured out her true identity long ago. This was not an entirely bad thing because this woman could control Yuan Xuan slightly. Yuan Xuan would still be concerned with Mu Chenyan if Qinger remained, but Qinger would not let him live peacefully... Chapter 299 - Your Misfortune Was Caused by Your Greed

Chapter 299: Your Misfortune Was Caused by Your Greed

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong saw Yuan Zhe shooting daggers at him. He lowered his voice, saying, This woman will still be useful in the future! Yuan Tangzhong knew that Yuan Zhe had been secretly contacting the father and son of the Mu Family all along. He was usually disappointed with his son in many ways, but he chose to stand with him at this moment. Mother, if thats the case, you should just allow Qinger to take Ruoxins identity and announce this to the public. If we find her a suitable partner in the future, well regard her as if she were Yuan Ran or Yuan Tian. Would that be alright? The Old Mistress nodded after Yuan Tangzhong had finished speaking. Youre right. We certainly must marry her off well to avoid troubling my Qinger! When the subject of marriage was mentioned, Qingers gaze fell on Yuan Xuan... The Old Mistress fierce re when she yelled at Mu Chenyan and called her a vixen shed through Chenyans mind. On the contrary, she referred to Qinger as my Qinger.... However, this did not matter because Mu Chenyan was unconcerned! Yuan Tian stuck her tongue out when she heard this. Wow! Youre so kind, Second Uncle. Id always thought that Yuan Ran and I were different! Yuan Tangzhong, ... Ouch! Mom, why did you pinch me again? Tears glistened in Yuan Tians eyes while her heart was filled with anger. Lu Shan quietly scolded, We should get that maternity test done tomorrow! How did I give birth to a daughter like you? Do you think that I could return you if you were really someone elses child? Lu Shan was forced to resort to dark humor. Yuan Tian made a face before she happily turned to the Old Mistress and asked, Grandmother, can we start eating? The Old Mistress stared at her before she tly said, Go ahead, eat! Well leave this to Little Xuan. Yuan Xuan firmly held Mu Chenyans hand underneath the table. He tightened his grip as though he was making sure of something. Mu Chenyan was shocked. She nced sideways and saw that Yuan Xuans nose was pointed straight while his gaze was indifferent and rxed. This man who radiated an elegant and refined aura throughout his entire body was not the slightest bit embarrassed at his actions below the table. Her hands were always covered in ayer of cold sweat during the summer while Yuan Xuans hands were as warm and dry as before. An additionalyer of sweat formed on Mu Chenyans palm when he gripped her hand tighter. She neither hid, nor reject the force that his hand exerted. She gently responded in kind instead. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan felt as though danger was lurking behind every corner at this moment. Yuan Xuan had led a difficult life among the members of the Yuan Family whose minds were unreadable. After Jiao Shuzhens passing and Yuan Tangbais mysterious death, Yuan Xuan lived here alone. His grandmother was the only person whom he could rely on. Yuan Xuan never freely revealed his emotions to outsiders. Perhaps this was due to the experiences of his youth. This was different from Mu Chenyans situation. Mu Chenyan had lived in Xi Fan since she was little. The vast open space there allowed Mu Chenyan to live in an unrestrained manner without any worries before she was 10 years old. This also allowed her to openly reveal her thoughts when she fell for Yuan Xuan when she was much younger. Yuan Xuan, however, was the exact opposite of her. He never revealed his true feelings. Despite the gloomy feelings in his heart, he continued to appear at ease on the surface. He treated Qinger, the Old Mistress, and even his mortal enemies that way. On the other hand, there were many instances when he failed to express his love for Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyans heart throbbed painfully when she initially heard the conversation between Mu Chenwu and Feng Rao. Now that she had calmed down, she was not as conflicted and emotional as the first time when she returned from the cemetery. After so many bitter experiences, it seemed as though Mu Chenyan had finally found a sense of bnce in her mind. She thought to herself and realized that when the truth finally came to light, it would not be surprising if her and Yuan Xuan argued and broke up! After dinner Mu Chenyan pulled Yuan Tian over at the doorway of Upper Mansion. She quietly asked, Where did you go yesterday? There was a gloomy expression on Yuan Tians face while she shook her head. Nothing happened. I was just harassed by a pervert but its over! Mu Chenyan was still somewhat worried. Lu Shan had not realized anything but Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Tian better. She had never worn shirts with high cors before. Despite todays hot weather, she was tightly wrapped up like a dumpling... My brother knows where I went! Yuan Tian recalled how that mysterious man had mentioned Yuan Xuan when he finally sent her home. Tell Third Young Master Yuan that Ive returned his belongings in perfect condition. However, Ill take whats mine sooner orter! Mu Chenyan knew that it was useless for her to question the matters that involved Yuan Xuan. There was an artificialke to the north of Hibiscus Garden. As it was already summer, the white lotuses in the man-madeke were in full bloom and thriving beautifully. She decided to take a stroll there because she was rather full from dinner. The artificialke was notrge but the water levels ranged in depth. Mu Chenyan had frequently yed here with Yuan Tian when they were younger. They had even caught mudskippers in the swallow muddy water during the summer. She was already ten years old at that time. She tied her hair in little pigtails and rolled up her pants as she taught Yuan Tian how to catch the mudskippers... Mu Chenyan circled the artificial pond while enjoying the quietness now. She recalled the carefree days of her youth. The summer breeze blew gently. The shallow part of theke was cooler and more serene than the other areas. Mu Chenyans heart was filled with fond memories of her happy past. She even wondered whether she would remain at the Yuan Family Mansion if she could live her life again and choose a different path. Mu Chenyan? The other womans voice sounded rather frosty despite the warm summer breeze. Mu Chenyan turned around and saw that Shu Qinger was following her. Her eyes were piercingly cold. Yes? The fog in her heart had recently vanished, but it had returned to suffocate her again. She had no choice but to give her the cold shoulder because she refused to meet Shu Qingers gaze. Were you proud of my performance tonight? Shu Qingers bewitching face broke out into a faint smile. My position in the Yuan Family will be secured as long as the Old Mistress agrees. Brother Xuan may go back on his word and attempt to send me away, but he cant do anything without the Old Mistress permission! As long as I remain in the Yuan Family, I can take back everything that belongs to me. Dont you agree? She was threatening her again! Mu Chenyans heart felt terribly constricted. Why was she always here? She should have been an actress since she loved stealing the limelight so much! Qinger, werent you highly educated? Mu Chenyan ignored Shu Qingers smug expression and said something that was irrelevant to the current topic. Shu Qinger was stunned and confused. If thats the case, I dont understand how you ruined such a good hand of cards. Why did you waste your whole life chasing someone elses man? Mu Chenyan immediately retaliated without holding back. Only then did Shu Qinger react. Her expression instantly changed as the rage in her eyes burned brighter. Mu Chenyan, do you think that you yed no part in my current situation? Mu Chenyan coldly said, At least Id never harmed you directly! You can ask Yuan Xuan if you still dont believe me. Mu Chenyan was raised well. Although her personality had been unruly since she was young before she suddenly became indifferent as she grew older, she had never been unkind. She was quite shocked that she could treat Shu Qinger like this. Shu Qinger was speechless. Ashamed, she flew into a rage while wishing that she could rip Mu Chenyan apart. You never hurt me directly, but if it wasnt for you, wouldnt I be sitting next to Yuan Xuan today? Chapter 300 - You Ruined a Good Hand of Cards

Chapter 300: You Ruined a Good Hand of Cards

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows because something had gotten on her nerves. She sneered, From ancient times, fights between jealous women were caused by these womens own actions. Talk to Yuan Xuan if youre in love with him and ask him why he didnt marry you. Why are you stubbornly arguing with me? I wouldnt have gotten you into this mess if we were in each others shoes now. If I desired Yuan Xuan, I wouldve thought of every way to improve myself to gain his favor. Otherwise, someone else wouldve stolen my man even if it wasnt you! Mu Chenyan did not mince her words. I only said that you ruined a good hand of cards because I felt that your misfortune was caused by greed in the end! Shu Qinger was filled with rage. She shot daggers at Mu Chenyan. Are you calling me greedy? Yes! Mu Chenyan gritted her teeth and stood by her words. You nned the kidnapping and rape incident in Ennd on your own, didnt you? Shu Qinger widened her eyes in disbelief. She retreated slightly before her trembling body curled up into a ball. Mu Chenyan saw that her face had turned ashen while she sounded rather hesitant now. She was unsure of whether to continue speaking. You... What are you saying? I dont... I dont understand... Qinger attempted to redeem herself. She spared no effort to control the scene. What do you know? Arent you extremely pleased with yourself now? You think that youre pure in Yuan Xuans eyes while Im tainted. Youre trying to nder me in every possible way! Mu Chenyan had never nned to expose her in the beginning but the malicious aura in her heart kept recklessly gnawing at her conscience. Shu Qinger would have buried this secret in the depths of her heart forever if she had not been provoked. That kidnapping case was a constant burden in Yuan Xuans mind! He thought that he had made you suffer by implicating you. Most importantly, when he witnessed you getting raped, this formed an invisible wound in his heart that served as a reminder that he was eternally indebted to you. However, he was unaware that you had orchestrated everything. You were merely suffering the consequences of your own actions! Mu Chenyan paid attention to Shu Qingers gloomy expression when she spoke. Qinger had never imagined that Mu Chenyan would say this. She attempted to calm her anxious heart. She furrowed her eyebrows and scowled while her beautiful little face became rather fierce. Mu Chenyan, do you have any proof? These are my inferences! Inferences? Qinger was at a loss. She sneered, In other words, are they merely baseless usations? Mu Chenyan turned and walked towards the pavilion in the middle of theke. Take a seat, Ill exin everything to you properly. Shu Qinger trailed Mu Chenyan. The two women resembled close-knit sisters from afar. Qinger sat opposite Mu Chenyan with her back facing theke. Her little face looked even paler when the bright moonlight and gleaming water reflected off it. Your original n was to kidnap me! Mu Chenyan confidently said. This threw Shu Qinger off but she forced herself to look focused instead. She sneered, Keep going, Im listening! Unfortunately, there was a problem with the timing. Id returned home suddenly because something happened at home. Worse still, you had sent several greenhorns to do the job! They carried out the kidnapping after receiving the order from their superiors but they kidnapped you and Yuan Xuan instead. Chinese girls all looked the same to them and they assumed that the girl by Yuan Xuans side was definitely me. You had intentionally copied my style during that period of time as well. Shu Qinger sneered, Nonsense! Why would I copy you? Previously, you said that Yuan Xuan seemed different when you met him in Italypared to the times you saw him in Ennd. In Italy, a carefree person like you would never wear a uniform like a good girl. Wouldnt you have hated to dress like that? This point had really hit the mark and revealed Shu Qingers true feelings. She remained silent but gestured for Mu Chenyan to continue. You felt threatened because I was always with Yuan Xuan, so you paid attention to me in many ways. You even copied my habits on purpose! This caused the kidnappers to identally kidnap the person who was backing them financially. Suddenly, things descended into chaos when they realized that both the police and the criminals of the underworld were pursuing them! However, their superiors had instructed them to rape Miss Mu in front of Yuan Xuan. Unfortunately, you had really shot yourself in the foot because of that. The anger in Mu Chenyans eyes had vanished after she finished speaking. It was reced with disappointment instead. Is this what you meant when you said that I ruined a good hand of cards? The corners of Qingers lips curled upward into a terribly sarcastic smile once she had heard everything. This was actually not far from the truth. When her gorgeous face was coupled with this expression, people would immediately think of her as a femme fatale! You have such a vivid imagination. How did youe to this conclusion? Shu Qinger calmed her thoughts and got up before she approached Mu Chenyan. Fury and resentment were both present in her bright pupils. Mu Chenyan kept quiet and merely looked at Shu Qinger. Momentster, she murmured, Qinger, this wasnt just a wild guess. Shu Qinger sniggered while the dark aura in her eyes grew more intense. If this isnt a wild guess, are you saying that you have evidence? Mu Chenyan faintly smiled. If Im not mistaken, youre a fine example of an egoist! A fine example of an egoist? Shu Qinger smirked. This term is very popr now! Are you merely using it on me to hide the fact that you made all those usations against me without any concrete evidence? Mu Chenyan rose as well. She met Shu Qingers gaze while they were on opposite sides. Both of these women had simr figures and identical auras. It seemed as though neither of them was willing to give in to the other party. You probably know that term better than I do! You went out of your way to save Yuan Xuan but an egotistical person like you wouldnt have done it purely out of love. Mu Chenyan spoke slowly. She did not want to attack Shu Qinger or get back at her; she merely wanted her to stop treating everyone else like idiots! You merely treated Yuan Xuan like an item in your private collection before he became everything to you. Thats why you grew increasingly obsessed with him after that n failed. Am I wrong? Shu Qingers face was filled with embarrassment after Mu Chenyan saw through her. The previous incident had been concealed so well that even the assassins were unaware of their financial backer after they were caught. It would have been impossible for them to use her. She had never imagined that Mu Chenyan could easilye to this conclusion just by guessing. She had lost everything now. How could she allow Yuan Xuan to discover the secret behind his debt of gratitude? She had used this opportunity to benefit herself by tricking others. Although other people had taken advantage of her, she made Yuan Xuan feel as though he owed her an enormous favor. How would Yuan Xuan treat her if he discovered the truth? She had certainly shot herself in the foot. She feared that Yuan Xuan would avoid her because he assumed that Shu Qinger was tainted. This led her to continue on as Zhao Ruoxin previously. She had even added an additional element because of that... Shu Qinger looked at Mu Chenyan. She sneered, Mu Chenyan, have you ever thought that youd be too smart for your own good one day? Mu Chenyan remained silent. She merely nced at Qingers slightly contorted face. Shu Qinger was so angry that her shoulders trembled. A painful tremor surged in her heart before she unconsciously realized that both of them had been thwarted by fate. Shu Qinger had lost her mind. Suddenly, she swung her arm at Mu Chenyan and yelled, Why dont you just die? Mu Chenyan reacted instantly. Perhaps she had realized that something was wrong the moment Qinger reached her hand out. She instinctively dodged sideways... Qinger exerted a lot of force. It seemed as though she had nned to push Mu Chenyan into the artificialke. Unfortunately, Mu Chenyan had escaped to the side while Qinger who was panting terribly could not stand steadily. She tumbled forward before she fell into the man-madeke... Ssh! The water level rose during the ssh... Chapter 301 - Playing in the Water with Who?

Chapter 301: ying in the Water with Who?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was already night time. The water was pitch ck in spite of the surroundingmps. Help...! Qinger struggled to float as she shrieked with fear. Very soon, she began sinking into the water. Mu Chenyan was stunned still for a few seconds, motionless. The water was rather deep at where the midke pavilion was located. When Mu Chenyan saw the woman in the water iling her arms frantically, she panicked and shouted for help. Someone help! Qinger has fallen into the water! The Yuan family had servants patrolling around the clock, so her shouts quickly drew the attention of people. However, Shu Qinger was already submerged in the water. Even if the servants were to rush over, it would probably be toote. Mu Chenyan remembered that there was once when they went swimming together in the UK, and Qinger choked on the water, hence she never really learned to swim. At this point, Mu Chenyan could not care much. She shook off her shoes, jumped onto the railing of the midke pavilion, and dived into the water... The servants who heard the shout for help rushed over. When they saw two women struggling in the water, they hastily grabbed argending to save them. Mu Chenyan hit Shu Qinger hard on the head the moment she entered the water. Only with her fainted did she dare to haul her from behind. Although she was still breathing, she had swallowed mouthfuls of water. The servants quickly notified Old Mistress at the Upper Mansion and the people in Hibiscus Garden that both mistresses had fallen into the water as they carried out first aid. When Yuan Xuan returned to Hibiscus Garden and saw that the woman did not follow behind, he thought that she had gone to chat with Yuan Tian. Who knew that she would go to the man-madeke? Who was she ying in the water with? With Qinger! Yuan Xuan rushed to the Upper Mansion as the servants had brought the two women there. The family doctor was quickly fetched. Even Yuan Tangshuo and Yuan Tian were called over. As Mu Chenyan watched the hugemotion, she felt a terrible headache. Walking through the door, Yuan Xuan saw that Qinger was still lying unconscious in bed. Mu Chenyan was also a mess. She was soaked, and strands of hair were stuck to her ear. Although it was summer, falling abruptly into the water would still cause one to shiver from the cold. This woman; her lip color was so unsightly! Counting the days, Yuan Xuan was even more annoyed. He strode over, put his arms around her body that was wrapped in a bath towel, and scolded her in a low voice, Are you courting death? Your menstruation is not over yet. How did you fall into theke? Mu Chenyans lips twitched upon hearing that. She smiled wryly as waves of pain was felt in the lower abdomen. She was in a panic just now and had not felt it. Only now did she realize that it was indeed only the second day of her period. Its okay. Ill be fine after taking a hot bath... Mu Chenyan was feeble. After all, this was her first time experiencing such a situation. Back then, the reason she learned to swim was so that she could save herself, but she did not expect herself to save a woman who tried to kill her today. Shu Qinger was frightened, coupled with the fact that she had gulped down mouthfuls of water. When she was finally woken up by the doctor, the first thing she did was wail.. Old Mistress was shocked. Seeing Qinger regained consciousness, she muttered, My Qinger, how did you fall into theke? You gave Grandmother the fright of my life! How... How did I fall into the water? Ive got no idea... Qinger cried and said. She suddenly noticed that Mu Chenyan was also soaking wet. She knew that Mu Chenyan could swim, and so she had an inkling of what happened. When Mu Chenyan saw Qinger staring at her hesitantly, Chenyan wondered to herself if this woman would falsely use her of pushing her into the water. Shu Qinger snorted and felt helpless at her own stupidity deep in her heart. She was vexed at herself for constantly shooting herself in the foot. There was still plenty of time in the days toe! I was chatting with Mu Chenyan by theke when I saw a fish jumping out of the water, so I went closer to take a look, but I identally lost my footing and fell into it... F*ck! She was finally smart for once! Mu Chenyan secretly let out a sigh of relief. Qinger finished her sentence and looked frightened still. Yuan Xuan looked at her suspiciously. Mu Chenyan saw that and quickly nodded, indicating that Qinger was telling the truth. Old Mistress sighed and chided the servants, Ive said it in the beginning that we should increase the height of the guardrail surrounding the pavilion. Theres gonna be a number of children in the mansion in the future, so we cant afford to take it lightly. Butler Fu agreed. I will send someone to make the guardrail higher tomorrow! Mistress and Miss have suffered this time. We wont be careless anymore! ... Hibiscus Garden While Mu Chenyan took a hot bath, Ah Fu boiled some tea that would help warm her stomach. Truthfully, she could not drink any of it as she had gulped down quite a lot of water in theke. However, Yuan Xuan would not let her off, so she had to bear with it and drink half of the tea. Coupled with the warmthing from Yuan Xuansrge hands, very soon, the menstrual pain felt better. What really happened? Yuan Xuan caressed her belly and asked softly. Didnt Qinger said it? We fell over while trying to watch the fish... Do you think Id believe that? Yuan Xuan gave a chilly and questioning stare. His pupils were deep, and his thick eyshes were fluttering lightly like butterfly wings, causing Mu Chenyan to be flurried as she met his gaze. You dont believe it? What if I tell you she was going to push me into the water, but she used too much force and ended up falling into the water, while I dived in to rescue her? Are you now convinced? Mu Chenyan smiled. She wanted to see Yuan Xuans expression change. How stupid! The mans look had indeed changed. His dark countenance became increasingly apparent, and he looked like he could not wait to swallow her up. Mu Chenyan did not know who he was referring to as stupid. Whos stupid? Who else? You, of course! Yuan Xuan was worried about the womans IQ. How am I stupid? Mu Chenyan could not help but feel wronged. Although she was not extremely bright, being chided by this man as a fool over and over again annoyed her. Why did you jump in? You shouldve just let her drown, yet you chose to jump in. Arent you stupid? Yuan Xuan said in a half-genuine and half-pretense manner. His expression was also not of a serious one. Mu Chenyan was taken aback. She did not know what Yuan Xuan meant. Are you willing to let her drown? After all, shes the sister of the real Qinger. Back then when that homicide happened... Youve said it yourself that she wanted to push you, so I think you shouldnt have saved her! Yuan Xuan did not want Mu Chenyan to bring up the murder case again, so he cut off her words. If youre the one who had fallen into theke, I wouldve saved you too! Mu Chenyan said deliberately. Are you that capable? Yuan Xuan asked. Mu Chenyan nodded seriously. Yea! Then, the top priority is to nt a little kid here! Yuan Xuan coldly snorted as his big hand continued to rub her abdomen, making the skin hot and dry. Mu Chenyan was at loss for words. ... Peace Mansion Upon reaching home, Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya immediately changed their manner. Yuan Zhe seemed to have some opinion on the resurrection of Qinger. Interesting! This home is not as peaceful as it was anymore. More drama is bound to happen in the future! Hearing heard Yuan Zhens remarks, Wen Ya did not want to bother Yuan Zhe. If she could keep mum, she would stay far away from him. Although she had already gotten rid of the crutches, Wen Yas legs were still somewhat feeble. The maid came forward to help Wen Ya, but when Yuan Zhe saw that, he ordered the maid to retreat. He then carried Wen Ya and went upstairs. Wen Ya was frightened and asked, What are you doing? Making love! Chapter 302 - Enjoy This Night to Your Heart’s Content

Chapter 302: Enjoy This Night to Your Hearts Content

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhe was in quite a good mood, but he had an agonizing cold look on his face. He could tell that Wen Ya was extremely against it, but he did not care whether she was willing to or not, as long as he had gotten what he wanted! Im not feeling well! I dont want to... Wen Ya was indeed feeling unwell. Herplexion seemed very poor ever since she had gotten back from the upper mansion. Why? Are you still thinking about that pretty boy? Mm? After hearing Wen Yas rejection, Yuan Zhe said something that did not make any sense and she could not recall offhand who he was talking about. You forgot about him? As Yuan Zhe spoke, he threw her onto the bed and unbuttoned his shirt while smiling ferociously, Ill remind you of that Doctor Zheng... Nonsense! Wen Yas entire body was trembling in rage. She saw that Yuan Zhe was halfway done with removing his clothes, so she pushed herself up and moved backward. Then, she cursed furiously, Theres nothing between me and Zheng Shu Yan. Theres nothing between the two of you? The corners of his lips curled up into a sarcastic smile. Do you think that the surveince cameras at home are just for show? Wen Ya was frightened. It seemed like Yuan Zhe already knew what Zheng Shu Yan did when he removed the cast. You... Youre bringing this up after so long, what is the meaning of it? Humph! Ive restrained myself for a few days and did a thorough investigation on that boy! He was indeed your ssmate in university, but he chose toe to Luo Hai instead of staying in the UK to further his studies. It cant be that he likes Luo Hais culture and weather! Wen Ya felt as though she was being struck by lightning when she heard that! Both her legs turned numb and the feeling of fear, as well as pain, crept into her heart. She looked at the gloomy look on Yuan Zhes face in terror and came to a sudden realization. Yuan Zhe, I beg you, please do not hurt him... Nothing happened between the two of us. Thest time was just an ident, Ive never done anything to betray you... Wen Ya stopped avoiding him and threw herself into his arms. She grabbed Yuan Zhes waist and begged him. Seeing how cruel and merciless Yuan Zhe was, he would definitely do something to Zheng Shu Yan. However, there was truly nothing between her and Zheng Shu Yan. Wen Ya was afraid that if Yuan Zhe were to put his mind into it, he woulde up with a hundred ways to torture Zheng Shu Yan! Oh really? My wife! Just as Yuan Zhe expected, this woman was a whore. She threw herself into his arms the minute she heard that Zheng Shu Yan was in danger. The feminine scent lingering around his waist riled up a wave of inexplicable anger in his heart. He grabbed her chin with hisrge hands and the piercing pain caused her to frown a little. Youre scared? Yuan Zhe said in a deep voice andughed ferociously. Tears rolled down from the corners of Wen Yas eyes as she could tell from his expression that he was doing it on purpose. Wen Ya said in a trembling voice, You know that Im innocent, right? How could he not know that she was a virgin at that time? After their marriage, this woman had always abode by her duties scrupulously. Therefore, Yuan Zhe was certain that she dared not do it. Even so, he enjoyed torturing her because of the wickedness in his heart! Indeed, I do know everything. However, that boy had already kissed these lips. How sure are you that he does not have the intention to sleep with you? This reason alone is enough for me to make sure that he suffers a violent death! He caressed her lips with his huge rough hands, which caused her to quiver slightly. No! Wen Ya opened her eyes and wailed in fear, I beg you, please dont. Ill do anything you want, but please do not hurt Zheng Shu Yan, hes innocent... Very good! Yuan Zhe had a smug smile on his face, That depends on whether you can please me or not! The wickedness inside of Yuan Zhe grew stronger and his smile had gotten even more hideous. Wen Ya felt as if her heart was falling into a bottomless abyss and the feeling of hatred filled her heart. Tears blurred her vision as she looked at Yuan Zhes face, which looked extremely simr to that of Yuan Xuans. Yuan Zhe, you... Youre a demon! Youre right, Mrs. Yuan! Yuan Zhe said coldly, Im indeed a demon! Nheless, dont forget that youre the one who opened the door to the world of demons and forced your way in. Wen Ya remained silent. At this point, nothing would change regardless of what she said. Your father made you sleep with me, bear my child, and forced me to marry you. If you were to hate someone, shouldnt it be that old geezer, Wen Youquan? Yuan Zhe was in quite a good mood today, so he had the patience to y along. Yuan Zhe, stop acting so shamelessly! Wen Ya was utterly disgusted. She shut her eyes as she did not want to look at Yuan Zhe. He was the one who pushed her into the abyss, yet he turned it around and shifted the me onto someone else! However, Yuan Zhe did not allow her to do as she wished. He increased the force on his grip and Wen Ya felt a chill down her spine when he spoke in a tone which sounded as though it came from hell. You should learn how to please me. Otherwise, you should know that I have many ways to make sure that your life is a living hell! As the man spoke, he ced hisrge hands on her waist and she gasped when he lifted the corner of her dress... Yuan Zhe raised her waist with both his hands and her pitiful dress soon turned into piles of torn fabric under the torment of hisrge hands. Without any cover, her exposed delicate fair skin became flushed. Wen Ya looked at the man who was about to vite her with an ashamed and dreary look in her eyes. This man was her husband? It was a fact that Wen Ya did not want to ept! Nheless, it was indeed the truth! Yet, it was her parents who made her ept this fact. She had beenpromising continuously. She gave in to destiny for the Wen Family and gave in to herself to survive in this world. Mu Chenyan once asked her, why not get a divorce? In truth, she really wanted to. However, she did not have the power to. She was weak and she did not have the ability to protect herself. The only thing that her family could take advantage of was her delicate body. If she were to get a divorce, a psycho like Yuan Zhe would drive the Wen Family into bankruptcy and her pitiful parents would end up on the streets. How miserable would that be? Even though they ruined her, she still kept them in her thoughts... She thought to herself, if given a choice, why would she not want to have freedom? Tears rolled down Wen Yas face soundlessly as she reached her hands out to touch Yuan Zhes shoulder. Then, she dug her nails deep into his shoulder and the scratch marks caused Yuan Zhe to frown in pain. Her entire body was trembling with hate and she could only use this method to soothe the pain in her heart... Cant wait? Mm? Ah! Wen Ya eximed. Her breath became rushed and her face turned bright red. Then, moisture started to collect in herrge watery eyes. The summer breeze was warm and cozy, yet Wen Yas entire body felt cold. They were on the balcony at the other side of the Peace Mansion and they could see everything clearly from above. Wen Ya intuitively wanted to break free, Why did you bring me here? I dont want... The man ignored her protest. He grabbed both of her hands and pressed them onto the wall. My parents feel the reason why youre not pregnant is that I wasnt trying hard enough. As Yuan Zhe spoke, he looked towards the other side. Wen Ya was stunned. She knew that he was doing it on purpose, so she instinctively retaliated, Youre a madman! Chapter 303 - Ruptured Corpus Luteum

Chapter 303: Ruptured Corpus Luteum

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya wanted to rebuke him again, but his next move frightened her. The man pressed his lower body tightly against hers before she could object. You wouldnt dare. Do you understand why I have to do this? The mans voice wasced with a smile, but it was a sinister smirk that sent shivers down her spine. Dont... Wen Ya was so scared that her whole body trembled. Hmph, I wasnt asking for your permission! Ahh! Make sure you enjoy this night. The mans menacing voice echoed beside her ear. Im going to leave asting mark on you. Always remember that your body belongs to me... Enjoy this. That hurts! ... Let me go... Im begging you... Wen Ya tearfully pleaded. She could not bear the violent pain, so she cried and begged desperately. * Mu Chenyan did not go to work in the morning. Yuan Tians father also allowed her to rest at home for a few days because of the trouble at the hospital. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian spent their entire morning having fun, but this angered Yuan Xuan. She couldnt get a good nights sleep yesterday so you cant stay over today! Yuan Xuan warned her in advance before he went to work. There was a gloomy expression on his face. Mu Chenyan: ... Yuan Tian: ... Yuan Tian stuffed a handful of snacks in her mouth after Yuan Xuan left. She muttered, My brother used to be such a loner. Why is he so overprotective over his wife now? Does it look like Im trying to seduce you? I cant believe that he got jealous because of a woman. How could he be so unreasonable? Mu Chenyan smiled without saying a word. She did not mention to Yuan Tian how sickeningly sweet it was when the mans eyes were filled with pain after he saw her returned home soaking wet yesterday night. Fifth Miss Yuan Tian was the most enraged when she heard that Mu Chenyan fell into the water. Not even Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan, nor the Old Mistress were as angry as her. The young woman had paid close attention to the recent events. She persisted in her belief that Qinger had pushed Mu Chenyan into theke. I told you that I jumped in on my own to save her! She could not help butugh when she saw the look of disbelief on Yuan Tians face. You know that Qinger cant swim. She had obviously hidden the details about Qingers failed attempt to push her from Yuan Tian. Ah Fu ran anxiously inside while the two women were chatting. She swallowed the words she was about to say when she saw Yuan Tian. Mu Chenyan rose to her feer. She asked calmly, Ah Fu, whats wrong? Ah Fu, are you hiding something from me? Yuan Tian became very upset when she saw Ah Fus hesitation. Fifth Miss and Mistress, Little Cui from Peace Mansion came to me in secret just now. She told me that the Eldest Young Mistress is experiencing a terrible stomach ache, but shes enduring the pain at home because she doesnt want to go to the hospital. Little Cui asked me what to do because shes very worried. Should we inform the Old Mistress? Im scared that something might have happened... Yuan Tian leaped up from the lounge chair before Ah Fu finished speaking. Sh*t! My brother definitely did something terrible again! Mu Chenyans forehead scrunched up as she followed Yuan Tian closely from behind. What do you think happened? Well know once were there! What good could Demon Yuan have done? Yuan Tian took her phone out and called Yuan Tangshuo while she ran. Father, send an ambnce over! Yuan Tangshuo made the necessary arrangements immediately without asking any questions. Yuan Tian rushed to Peace Mansion and entered through the side door. Neither Xue Meiwei nor Yuan Tangzhong was at home. Wen Ya was home alone because Yuan Zhe was at work. She was curled up miserably on the bed at the moment. The throbbing abdominal pain made her face extremely pale. Her purplish lips trembled out of fear and the attempt to suppress the difort. Wen Yas broke down when she saw that Yuan Tian and Mu Chenyan were here. Chenyan, Yuan Tian... Am I going to die? Yuan Tian rushed forward and held Wen Ya close to her. She pressed both sides of her lower abdomen and asked, Does it hurt here? Wen Ya shook her head. That was her appendix. She did not think that it was the source of the pain, but she could not pinpoint where it hurt either. Yuan Tians face darkened. Beside her, Mu Chenyan had no knowledge in the medical field, but she was all the more anxious just by watching the scene beside her. Tian Tian, what happened exactly? Whats wrong with Wen Ya? Yuan Tian asked in a low voice, Did you sleep with himst night? Mu Chenyan did not know why Yuan Tian asked that question. However, she could roughly guess the answer when she saw the terrible bruises all over Wen Yas body. She also noticed the faint traces of blood on the bed when she followed Yuan Tians gaze. There was no need to hide anything from Yuan Tian because she was a doctor, but Wen Ya was still slightly embarrassed because she was also Yuan Zhes younger sister. She merely cried and refused to speak. She was too afraid to mention the inhumane torture that she sufferedst night... Wen Ya, this is serious. Did you do it or not? Mu Chenyan was distressed and scared. Her tone sounded rather anxious now. Wen Ya nodded gently. Get changed quickly and prepare to go to the hospital! As she spoke, Yuan Tian had already started to take some clothes out of the closet. The ambnce arrived momentster. Wen Ya was about to faint from the pain, but she could hear Yuan Tian speaking to the medical workers, Check the condition of her corpus luteum first once youre back. My initial guess is that its ruptured... * Wen Ya had never imagined that Yuan Zhes abuse would force her to be hospitalized again in just slightly more than a month. Yuan Zhe was previously scared that his third uncle would find out about the whole situation, so he had sent Wen Ya to the Sheng Yu Hospital. Wen Ya had no choice this time. She was dragged to the military hospital in the ambnce that Yuan Tian had called. Yuan Tangshuo knew that Wen Yas ruptured corpus luteum and ashenplexion was caused by an excessively rough episode of sexual intercourse. Wen Ya would heal very quickly after the minimally invasive surgery. He called Yuan Tangzhong first to exin the situation. Yuan Tangshuo could not believe that he had experienced something like this. Second Brother, Yuan Zhes treatment of his wife is unprecedented in the Yuan Family. Have you been neglecting your duties as his parent? Yuan Tangzhong did not dare to retaliate when his younger brother chided him. His third brother was a stubborn person who did not have the habit of participating in most mundane affairs. However, he would bring the matter to the Old Mistress should the matter angered him. Things would certainly turn serious then. Yuan Tangzhong scolded Yuan Zhe inwardly. He urged Yuan Zhe to rush to the hospital to pay a visit. News of Wen Yas hospitalization had reached Zheng Shuyan in no time. This orthopedic surgeon who was usually an extremely mellow person had no time to calm down now. He did not care about arousing the suspicion of others. He was already waiting outside the entrance of the surgical theatre before Wen Yas surgery was over. Indescribable pain filled Zheng Shuyans heart when he saw her haggard face after she had returned to the ward. She looked like apletely different person. Little Ya, why didnt you tell me earlier that this b*stard was treating you like this? Zheng Shuyan guarded the woman on the hospital bed. The hatred burning inside him made it difficult for him to think straight. He would have stabbed Yuan Zhe to death if he appeared now, but that would still not be enough to dispel his hatred towards that man. Zheng Shuyan could tell that Yuan Zhe had abused Wen Ya more than just a few times. It was just that Wen Ya had endured the pain in the past when it was still tolerable. The abuse had clearly worsened. Zheng Shuyan realized that it could not be a coincidence for these two incidents to have urred consecutively. He could not suppress his rage any longer. Chapter 304 - Someone Was Murdered in the Yuan Family Mansion!

Chapter 304: Someone Was Murdered in the Yuan Family Mansion!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya was mentally and physically drained. There were no other patients with her in the room. The pristine white bed sheets went very well with the womans frail little face. Wen Ya held Zheng Shuyans hand weakly and murmured, Shuyan, dont worry about me! Im fine... In the future... Donte here and get involved because of me again. Im suffering because of my own actions... Uncontroble tears streamed down Wen Yas face as she spoke. Three hours had passed since her surgery. Aside from Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian, no one else from the Yuan Family had rushed here. Wen Ya did not allow Mu Chenyan to tell her parents that Yuan Zhe had neither loved her nor treated her kindly. The one who truly loved her was Zheng Shuyan! What was more, he was definitely the most innocent of all. She would not let him get involved in this no matter what. Zheng Shuyan was disappointed at Wen Yas inability to change, but he could never harm a hair on her head. Then, the man stood suddenly. He whispered, Are you only saying that because you think that Im alone and helpless in Luo Hai? Pain stirred at the bottom of Wen Yas heart. She forced a smile and said to Zheng Shuyan, You dont understand. Yuan Zhe is a cruel and unreasonable man. I dont want you to lower yourself to that madmans level! The Wen Family is already in this state. Im afraid that a lone person like you will suffer if you continue to have conflicts with him because of me. I cant involve you... Zheng Shuyan smiled faintly after hearing that. He bent down and took a white towel to wipe off gently the tiny sweat droplets on the womans forehead. He sat down and held Wen Yas cold small hands. His tone had clearly changed. Little Ya, whats the point of living if I cant protect you? Dont worry, violence isnt the only way to defeat our enemies. Sometimes we just need to outsmart them! Zheng Shuyans dark eyes were brimming with confidence. A faint chill rose in the depths of Wen Yas heart. She had no idea what Zheng Shuyan wanted to do. She merely hoped that this problem would end here. You cant... Little Ya, dont worry! Zheng Shuyans deep voice echoed. * Mu Chenyan had returned after buying some food. She was about to enter when she saw Zheng Shuyan was in Wen Yas room. They seemed to be having an intimate conversation. Mu Chenyan could not bring herself to go in and disturb them. Were they a pair of star-crossed lovers? Nothing caused greater pain than forbidden love! One could only understand Zheng Shuyans devotion to Wen Ya if they were in his shoes. While he was studying abroad, his close friends were basically young elite males from the local aristocratic families. Zheng Shuyan was the exception. He was rmended by his local university to study overseas as an exchange student. It was rumored that he came from a very average family. The Zheng Family had no means of supporting him when he furthered his studies. The good thing was that Zheng Shuyan was intelligent and hardworking. His future in medicine was looking pretty good. He initially had the opportunity to remain in Ennd, but he returned to Luo Hai because of Wen Ya. The aristocrats continued to look down upon him even though he was now a resident physician. Zheng Shuyan could only watch as the woman he loved was repeatedly hurt by others... Mu Chenyan had previously also descended to the lowest point of life despite her prosperous and wealthy background. She had experienced victories and defeats. Now she towered above these materialistic riches, but she could also keep her feet on the ground and admire this flourishing world if she wished. Mu Chenyan truly pitied Zheng Shuyan and Wen Ya. Chenyan, arent you going inside? Zheng Shuyan had left the room while Mu Chenyan was still staring nkly at the entrance. This man looked insipid but his eyes were as dark as whirlpools. They seemed deep and almost bottomless. Ive just arrived. I was about to go in. Mu Chenyan did not want to make things awkward for Zheng Shuyan. She noticed the delicate atmosphere between him and Wen Ya. Oh, hurry up and go in then. Little Ya cant eat anything because shes just gotten out of surgery, but she can have some fluids. Thank you for your help! Zheng Shuyan was unusually calm. He did not seem the slightest bit uneasy about what had just taken ce. Mu Chenyan had a moment where he thought that Zheng Shuyan was belittling the offsprings of aristocratic families... Mu Chenyan nodded and entered the room. Wen Yas eyes were red and swollen while the corners were stained with tears. Mu Chenyan ced the food that she had bought on the table. She was also hungry now after a rather busy morning. She served Wen Ya some millet gruel before the two sisters-inw ate together. Wen Ya, the Yuan household is a dangerous ce now. Youll be tortured to death by Yuan Zhe sooner orter if you continue to stay there. Do you n on living the rest of your life like this? Mu Chenyan cleaned everything after they had finished eating. After that, she sat down to talk to Wen Ya properly. Chenyan, itll be fine. These moments will end one of these days... Wen Yas face looked rather miserable. She bit her bottom lip firmly. * The domestic abuse case was only brought up to Yuan Tangshuo. In the end, no one informed the Old Mistress because Yuan Tangzhong had silenced the matter. Mu Chenyan thought that this conclusion wasughable. The Yuan Family seemed perfect on the surface, but it was unbelievably rotten at the core. Chenyan was still thinking about her secret meeting with Mu Chenwu. She wanted to investigate everything thoroughly as soon as possible so that her problems with the Yuan Family would finally end... She went to work as usual. When she came home, she interacted with Yuan Xuan just as she did in the past. Yuan Xuan thought that this was strange. He had always felt that this woman was a bit odd, but he could not put a finger on what exactly about her that was abnormal. The man merely wished that this secret war would end soon to prevent any more nightmares... * The major crimes department did not receive any serious cases during this period of time. The end of summer came in the blink of an eye. The weather was finally hot and dry, but there were light breezes to cool it down. Luo Hais warmest season of the year was here. The news office would n a vacation for its staff every year at this time. This year, Mu Chenyan had joined them as new blood. Zhang Xin had repeatedly told her in advance that this trip was worth looking forward to, just like all the previous ones... Mu Chenyan nced at the calendar. Almost a year had passed since she was released from prison. Time passed quickly. On this day one year ago, she was still kneeling in the corner of a dark gloomy room. Looking at the blue sky outside through a tinted window made her recall her carefree days in Xi Fan. Those memories provided a distinct contrast inparison to her days in prison. At that time, she never imagined that she would be released one day. Breathing in the fresh air, chatting to her colleagues, and nning an autumn vacation in Luo Hai were things that had never once crossed her mind... A sliver of hope rose from the depths of Mu Chenyans heart. She had started to anticipate this outing. However, certain changes had urred before her ns were finalized. Her holiday ns were ruined by a serious case that appeared out of the blue... Mu Chenyan went to work as usual. Before noon, Su Qingcheng ran over and invited her for lunchter. Wu Huai walked out of his office anxiously at this moment. He turned to his team members and yelled, Dispatch some officers quickly. Theres been a murder! His team members would hurriedly set out whenever these situations urred. There was no time for lunch or anything like that. Mu Chenyan grabbed her backpack and shot a nce at Zhang Xin. They wanted to go to the scene too! Then, Mu Chenyan noticed that Wu Huai was looking at her strangely. He turned to her before she could speak. He said in a solemn tone, Miss Mu, the reporting center at the police department just informed us that someone had been murdered in the Yuan Family Mansion! Frightened, Mu Chenyan broke out in a cold sweat. Her voice trembled when she asked, Who... Who was murdered? Chapter 305 - Yuan Zhe’s Death

Chapter 305: Yuan Zhes Death

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Frightened, Mu Chenyan broke out in a cold sweat. Her voice trembled when she asked, Who... Who was murdered? Wu Huai looked at Mu Chenyan and lowered his voice significantly, Eldest Young Master Yuan Zhe, the son of the Yuan Familys second son! Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans expression change rapidly. She seemed indifferent toward the victim. Mu Chenyan sighed in relief, but she was still confused. Was it an ident? she asked. We dont know. Well only find out once were there! Wu Huai left with his team members after he spoke. Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin brought their equipment before they followed him. * Yuan Family Mansion... Mu Chenyan noticed that the periphery of the mansion was already sealed. Wu Huai spoke to the guards at the entrance before he drove inside. There are several reporters inside already! Why did you bring more? The police officers who kept guard questioned Wu Huai while they nced at Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin. What? There are reporters inside? Wu Huai was puzzled. Wasnt the information about this supposed to be blocked off? These reporters were specially sent by the news office. How did the other reporters gain ess? Oh, those reporters came to interview Yuan Zhe. They were filming a program here before the murder suddenly happened. Youll understand once youre inside. Its strange... Mu Chenyan grew more and more confused after hearing this. Her heart was racing. All of the servants were gathered for an interrogation. Xue Meiwei was sent to the east wing to rest. She had fainted from too much crying. Yuan Tangzhong was away on a business trip. He knew that this incident had urred in his home, but he could not rush back in time. Yuan Xuan had not returned home either. On the other hand, Yan Jun was handling some business nearby, but he was instructed to go to the mansion first. Mistress, dont go inside! Yan Jun had surveyed the scene. He was worried that it would scare Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuan had sent him here to hold Mu Chenyan off. From the entrance to the hall, Mu Chenyan saw that the servants were huddled together. Their faces were pale as they were terribly frightened. Wheres Wen Ya? Mu Chenyan worried about her the most. There were two servants who usually worked for Yuan Zhe over here in Peace Mansion. One of them had returned to her hometown several days ago. Little Cui was the only one left. When she heard Mu Chenyans question, Little Cui replied softly, Mistress isnt at home today. She left early in the morning because she had work to handle in the office! Does she know about this? asked Wu Huai. Ive called her. Shell be back immediately! Little Cui was too afraid to look at the scene in the hall. Her head was lowered and her voice quivered terribly. Are they going to arrest us too? But we dont know anything... Wu Huai red at Little Cui and said, We want you here because we need to understand what had happened here. Well take you and the others to the station to record your statements soon. Were not going to just arrest people and dere that theyre guilty! Yan Jun, I want to go inside too! Mu Chenyan wanted to walk inside. When she noticed that Yan Jun was intentionally obstructing her, she quietly said, Yuan Xuan cant stop me either! Yan Jun finally relented when he saw the determined look in Mu Chenyans eyes. He realized that she could not be dissuaded. He trailed behind her and followed her inside. Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Zhe lying beside the sofa in the hall of the west wing in Peace Mansion. The man who usually possessed an impressive aura was currently reduced to a lifeless blob of twisted flesh. Wu Huai and the investigator from the forensic department were standing at the crime scene. The forensic expert was a young woman whom Wu Huai called Chen Hua. Preliminary investigations have shown that there are no obvious wounds on his body. He was probably poisoned orally. The victim suffered abdominal pains when the poison was administered. This caused his muscles to spasm, his heart rate to greatly increase, and his pupils to dte. His immediate cause of death is suffocation resulted from breathing difficulties. Chen Hua removed her gloves and mask as she told her Wu Huai her observations. Ill have to return and do an autopsy to determine the specific details. Poisoned? Wu Huai noticed that the other two reporters were still at the crime scene. The situation was moreplicated than he had expected. Those two reporters had seen Yuan Zhe dying with their own eyes. Nie Chaos case had painted Yuan Zhe in a bad light. Yuan Tangzhong had arranged an interview to improve Yuan Zhes public image. This programs attraction was that they would document a politicians personal and working life for one whole day. The previous scenes were shot while Yuan Zhe was working. Those scenes were already filmed several days ago, and the reporters had arrived to document his daily life at home today. They had never expected to witness an entire murder case during this documentation process. Wu Huai briefly read up about the two individuals who came to interview Yuan Zhe and did not have anything toment. Then, he went to the crime scene to survey the area personally. There was a tea set on the tea table in the hall. As there were three cups there, he could tell that Yuan Zhe, the reporter, and the videographer were drinking tea and chatting at that time. Tell me the sequence of events! Wu Huais deep voice echoed once he had had a look around. The reporter and videographer who came to interview Yuan Zhe were terribly afraid. Both of them spoke without coherence when Wu Huai interrogated him. Annoyed, Wu Huai waved a dismissive hand. Its the duty of the public to cooperate with police investigations. Both of you are elites in the field of journalism. Why are you so afraid? The reporters name was Ma Liping. She gathered herposure after hearing Wu Huais words and said, Captain Wu, it happened like this. Mr. Yuan agreed to be interviewed at 9:00 a.m. We filmed in the garden and in the living room. We left the garden and went inside because the weather was rather hot today. Mr. Yuan said that he wanted to make us some coffee after that. Did he make the drinks on his own? Wu Huai interrupted her and asked. Yes! He wanted to improve the publics perception of himself. The servants never appeared throughout the entire process. We had even filmed him making the coffee. Ma Liping nced at the videographer, Zhou Nan. He turned the camera on so that Wu Huai could watch the recorded footage. Yuan Zhe was dressed in a casual white tracksuit. His sleeves were rolled up and his wrists were exposed. Both Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhe had high standards set for the quality of lives. Instead of using a coffee machine, he grounded the coffee beans skillfully on his own. The grounded coffee beans were ced in a little crystal pot that was specifically used to make coffee. That little coffee pot was still on the table now. Mu Chenyan noticed that the little crystal container was still half filled with unfinished coffee. He poured it in three cups, one for each of us, once the coffee was done. Ma Liping shot a fearful nce at Zhou Nan. Are you saying that all three of you drank it? asked Wu Huai. Ma Liping nodded. Yes, we all drank it! Wu Huai looked at the three coffee cups on the table and said, Bring the cups here. Did Yuan Zhe give them out randomly? Yes, Mr. Yuan had even washed the cups in the sink first. He took one randomly after pouring the coffee. Shivers ran down Ma Lipings spine. Although they drank from the same pot of coffee, she realized that Yuan Zhe was the only one who was poisoned. The coffee was randomly poured into three cups, but the other two parties were unharmed. Captain Wu, could we have been poisoned too? Zhou Nan could not stop himself any longer and sneaked a nce at the corpse on the ground. His face turned pale from fright. Wu Huai could not waste another second. He turned to Little Jiang, the police officer, and ordered, Take these pieces of evidence back to be examined and bring these two people with you to have their statements recorded. Everyone else should follow him as well! Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin trailed behind the photographer from the forensic department. They took a few photos and recorded the details of the case. Mu Chenyans heart felt hollow for some reason. This was the second murder case that had involved the Yuan Family! It was unlike the previous case with Qinger because her position and identity were different now... Chapter 306 - Yuan Xuan’s Repentance

Chapter 306: Yuan Xuans Repentance

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The incident happened in the afternoon. They had never imagined that something like this would happen at home. Everyone rushed to the crime scene in no time. Is the Old Mistress being looked after? The first thing that Yuan Xuan did when he arrived at the scene was to ask about the Old Mistress. That was because she was already so old, and he was the eldest grandchild of all. She was extremely fond of Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Zhe still had a special ce in her heart as her oldest grandchild. Shes settled down already. The Old Mistress had some problems dealing with the shock. She was crying earlier but she just wants to stay in bed now. The Eldest Young Mistress also cried herself to exhaustion several times... Yan Jun gave a brief report on the whole situation. Yuan Xuan nodded. His handsome face was faintly clouded over. He said tly, Go and call Doctor Bais medical team over. Make the necessary arrangements for them to stay in the Yuan household these few days so that they dont have to leave. Also, the food and water that enters the Yuan household must undergo strict testing. Only then can it be consumed after being thoroughly cooked through. Get several capable individuals to supervise this matter. Pick out a few of the original servants and ensure that only one servant remains in each mansion. The rest will be interrogated and their reemployment will only be discussed after that. Yan Jun took note of Yuan Xuans instructions and set about his tasks immediately. Mu Chenyan heard everything clearly from the sidelines. Yuan Xuan was worried that another poisoning case would happen in the future. Soon, Jiuer and Butler Fu were the only servants left in Upper Mansion. Ah Fu remained in Hibiscus Garden while Peace Mansion and Tranquility Mansion were respectively serviced by two servants that Butler Fu had raised since they were young. They would only consider taking back the other servants once the case was closed. Mu Chenyan had initially nned to return to the station with Wu Huai and Su Qingcheng. She had just started walking to the doorway with her equipment when Yuan Xuan came forward and grabbed hold of her. He whispered, Are you still going back there today? Mu Chenyan nced at the police officers around her. Some of them were busy collecting evidence and cing them in the bags. The others were either taking photos or sealing off areas. The forensic investigator had already set up a team to bring the corpse back for the autopsy. Some of Mu Chenyans colleagues became aware of the two of them when they saw Yuan Xuan pulling her aside. Those who knew about their rtionship thought, Third Young Master Yuan is naturally handsome while Miss Mu is enchantingly beautiful. Theyre truly a match made in heaven. Moreover, the Yuan Family is extremely influential. Now that one of hispetitors has kicked the bucket, the Third Young Master has be even more unstoppable in Luo Hai! However, there were others like Zhang Xin who were unaware of these details. When he saw the imposing man forcefully grabbing his goddess, he could not help but curse inwardly, Sh*t! Rich b*stards like him are truly shameless. How could he flirt with a beautiful woman now when such terrible things have happened to his family? He was even daring enough to try his luck with a beauty from the criminal police department. Would he simply seduce any gorgeousdy that he saw on the streets? There was a trace of annoyance on Mu Chenyans face. She sneakily used more force than she needed and attempted to push the mansrge hands off her. She had not expected that he would tighten his grip. I have to go back there because Im still on the clock, Mu Chenyan replied quietly. Yuan Xuans striking face darkened slightly. Im worried about you leaving! This case involves the Yuan Family but I dont know which of our enemies are trying to harm us! Although he usually detested Yuan Zhe, he was still one of the Yuan Familys sessors in the end. Yuan Zhes sudden death was not all just a pleasant surprise to Yuan Xuan. It had be also another source of anxiety for him. I want to follow this case. Im not a police officer so I dont have to worry about arousing suspicion. Why would they harm me if theyre only concerned about the Yuan Family? Mu Chenyan had no idea why Yuan Xuan was suddenly allowing himself to be swayed by his emotions. I know that you dont have to worry about that. But now that something had happened in our family, my heart will be extremely empty if you leave my sight. I dont want the incident that urred three years ago to happen again! Yuan Xuan was not being entirely irrational. Two strange murder cases had happened within these few years. The first case was the murder of Qinger that Mu Chenyan was falsely used ofmitting. He did not know who would suffer from todays murder. Only then did Mu Chenyan realize that Yuan Xuan was worried about this. She smiled gently and said, Im a different person now. You dont have to worry. I wont be so stupid as to let others frame me again... Yuan Xuan pulled her into his arms in one swift motion. He did not care that other people were looking at him. He ignored the struggles the woman in his arms was putting up as well. Chenyan, Im sorry! The mans voice was hoarse but seductive. This electrifying male voice had to belong to Yuan Xuan. Warm air left his lips as he caressed her forehead. Mu Chenyan was stunned. She could not understand why Yuan Xuan had suddenly said these weird things. I didnt protect you properly in the past! If I could turn back time, I would definitely change my decisions. I wouldnt allow other people to take you away during our wedding! I was selfish! Yuan Xuans sounded a bit like he was choking back a sob. Todays events had unearthed the uneasiness in his heart. If this had not happened, he would probably have trouble mentioning the death of Qinger and the fact that Mu Chenyan was framed and dragged away on her wedding day. He was certainly repenting for neglecting his duties and being selfish. Shao Yibai was right. He had paid a hefty price to get rid of Mu Feng. Basically, he had disregarded all costs. Certain things had crossed his mind today. If he allowed Mu Chenyan to leave him again, his world would probably crumble to pieces... I cant leave you! Otherwise, Ill truly die... This man, who was usually so reserved andposed, had openly expressed his deepest and most sincere feelings today. Things like restraint, indifference, and arrogance could go to hell! He had lost her for two years. This had forced her to experience so much suffering. She was a thorn in his flesh that could never be removed! Mu Chenyan had no chance to breathe when he held her tightly in his arms, but her heart was filled with warmth. She could not help but to wrap her little hands around his waist. The coldness, doubts, and confusion that lingered in her heart for a long time slowly vanished in this mans passionate embrace. Expressing himself had never been his strong suit. If he had not gotten upset earlier, he would probably have kept this in his heart for the rest of his life! Yuan Xuan, Id also die if I left you! So dont worry, I wont throw myself into the deep end like an idiot. Im only following this case because its part of my job. Itll be fine! Mu Chenyan buried her face against his chest. She did not care whether her colleagues were looking at them. She simply longed for his warmth. This scene greatly shocked the onlookers. Zhang Xin stared at his coworker in shock. This young mans reaction was slightly dyed inparison to everyone else. A thought suddenly shed in his mind. His goddess probably treated him coldly all the time because there was something between her and Third Young Master Yuan! However, their tender moment was suddenly interrupted. The couple heard a womans mournful voice while they were still intimately intertwined. Yuan Zhe... is dead? Mu Chenyan turned around and saw that Wen Ya was still dressed in her office wear. Her bony figure looked weak, helpless, and frightened. Her ashen face waspletely nk. She shot a questioning nce at Mu Chenyan when she saw her and Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan walked over and held Wen Yas hand. Wen Ya, Yuan Zhes dead. His body is in the car. Theyre taking him away for an autopsy... Wen Ya still seemed to be in shock. It looked like she was walking on cotton when she took shaky steps towards the corpse on the stretcher. Mu Chenyan could tell that Wen Ya was extremely conflicted. This man who had hit, tortured, and abused her had suddenly died. It was all over. He was still her husband though... Wen Ya lifted the white cloth and stared at Yuan Zhes twisted face. Her shoulders trembled violently. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and ran to the Japanese banana tree. She sorrowfully wept until she lost her voice. She sobbed and threw up the food she just ate... Chapter 307 - Wu Huai Turned Around, And His Gaze Fell on Mu Chenyan!

Chapter 307: Wu Huai Turned Around, And His Gaze Fell on Mu Chenyan!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans heart was conflicted. She truly did not know how to console her. Wen Ya had calmed down once she had finished crying. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her entire body trembled from exhaustion. Im sorry... Can I... Can I water the Japanese banana tree? The corners of Wen Yas eyes were streaked with tears. She mumbled something about the ground near the Japanese banana tree being a mess. Aside from Wen Ya, no one knew that her child was buried under the tree. How could she leave this area dirty? Of course! said the police officer who was busy taking inventory of the scene. He continued, But I have to remind you that this is a crime scene, Mrs. Yuan. You cant live here anymore because well have to seal itter. Wen Ya nodded. I know. She turned and entered the mansion as she spoke. She came out with a bucket of water to wash her vomit away from the bottom of the Japanese banana tree. She filled another two buckets to water the surrounding nts and flowers as well. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan exchanged nces. Yuan Xuan whispered, Wen Ya should live in Upper Mansion. Grandmother needs someone to apany her too. Wen Ya nodded. She turned to the police officer from earlier and said, Im going inside to take some of my personal belongings. Is that alright? The officer looked at Third Young Master Yuan before he turned to Wu Huai who was beside him. Wu Huai nodded. The officer said, Yes, but well have to examine the things youre taking with you. Im sorry, Mrs. Yuan. We have to question everyone inside this mansion now, but its just a formality. Wen Ya nodded. Understood. Im going to get my things now. * During the next few days, everyone in the major crimes department was extremely busy because of this case. On one hand, Yuan Zhe held an important position in the government sector. On the other hand, Yuan Tangzhong would have insisted that they solved this case as quickly as possible since it had involved the Yuan Family even if Yuan Xuan had not pressured them. They were also in a tight spot because the public was pressuring them. Many people had seen the crime scene online because this program was live streamed at that time. There were only a few people who had watched the live stream in the first ce, but it circted rapidly throughout the inte once they heard about the murder. Screenshots of the video started popping up everywhere. Fortunately, the members of the Yuan Family took action after that and took down all of them. However, the bad press surrounding this incident would continue to spread with each passing day should the case was not cracked. The city leaders even appeared to supervise the solving of the case on their own. Wu Huai felt very disheartened. There were many strange things about this case that they could not make sense of. The major crimes department had organized a meeting to discuss this. As Mu Chenyan had previously yed a big role in solving Sun Xus case, Su Qingcheng vouched for her right to sit in on the meeting. Mu Chenyan was incredibly touched while Zhang Xin could not believe her good fortune. Captain Wu, my fellow colleagues, the forensic department has determined that Yuan Zhe was indeed poisoned to death. The time of his death was 10:28 a.m. that day. The remaining coffee in the pot was also tainted. It might be a kind ofposite poison. Another set of tests need to be done before the exactponents can be determined. ording to the information that was provided by the reporters who were present, only 40 minutes had passed between when the coffee was made and when the poisoning symptoms began to appear. In other words, that was a lethal poison. Su Qingcheng showed everyone the slides with the details of the case before she informed them about the conclusion. Everyone thought it sounded very suspicious. They started discussing it among themselves. The poison was detected in the coffee pot and all three of them drank from it. Its a lethal poison but only Yuan Zhe died while the other two reporters are fine. How could that be possible? Did the coffee in the victims cup have the same amount of poison as the rest? asked Little Jiang. No, there was poison in the victims cup, but there was none in the other two cups. Hence, only one person died, answered Su Qingcheng. Could it be that the poison was ced on the sides of the cup? asked Mu Chenyan quietly. She was an outsider, but she could not help but ask this question because she thought something was not right about it. Su Qingcheng smiled. The reporters who were there also said that they saw Yuan Zhe taking three cups out. He even washed them in the sink before he randomly distributed them. If someone was trying to poison another party intentionally, theyd have to ensure that their intended victim used the tainted cup! The poison could not have only been ced on the inner walls of the cup. How would that exin the poison inside the coffee pot as well? Wu Huai responded. Are you certain that they drank from the same pot? asked Zhang Liang, the police officer. Yes, the reporter said that they drank the coffee while chatting for about half an hour. The victim then had a sudden reaction due to the poison he took in. No one touched the coffee pot after that. Su Qingcheng had no experience with cases like this since she had only started this job recently. She was merely rying the information that the forensic department had concluded from the investigation. It seemed as though dark clouds were looming above Wu Huais head. Cases like this that were without any main threads were enough toplicate his feelings and put him in a bad mood. He paced around the meeting room. His expression was extremely gloomy without the slightest hint of warmth. He asked suddenly, What did the servants say in their statements? Zhang Liang reported in a hurry, There were two of them who worked for Yuan Zhe and his wife in the Yuan Familys Peace Mansion. One of them left several days ago after requesting for leave. Cui Jinhua is their only remaining servant now. Little Cuis statement showed that she was usually in charge of cooking. Mrs. Yuan would cook asionally as well. The water that the victim drank before he died was taken from the water filter in his house. Wu Huai nced at Mu Chenyan after hearing that. The woman nodded gently in agreement. Has the water source been examined? asked Wu Huai. Zhang Liang answered, Yes, there were no signs of poison inside the clean water. Wu Huai sighed. He was so troubled that he pinched himself. This is so strange. How did the victime into contact with the poison then? Su Qingcheng nearly burst outughing. It was rare to see Wu Huai like this except when he encountered exceptionally troublesome matters. Wu Huai turned around, and his gaze fell on Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his face. His team members always thought that he looked uglier when he smiled than when he cried, and they were right. Miss Mu, how was Yuan Zhes rtionship with his wife? Mu Chenyan was already not used to seeing Wu Huai smile. She was even more shocked when she heard him mention Wen Ya. The other police officers nced at her simultaneously as well. Despite being an outsider here, Mu Chenyan seemed to know more inside information than them. Captain Wu, are you suspecting Wen Ya? She sounded rather impatient, and her tone was tinged with unhappiness. Naturally, she was aware of the torture that Wen Ya suffered during her marriage. His death meant that Wen Ya had escaped her violent abuser. However, her innocence was being doubted now. Miss Mu, please dont be swayed by your emotions. Im merely asking this as a mere formality! Wu Huai could tell that Mu Chenyan harbored personal feelings about this. Itd be easier for me to judge properly if youd give me an honest answer! Wen Ya will still be interrogated even if you refuse to answer. She was the closest person to the victim after all. Wu Huai continued to stare at Mu Chenyan after he had finished speaking. Mu Chenyan stood up. Her face clearly showed that she was upset. If this is merely a formality, you should just call Wen Ya here for questioning, Captain Wu. You dont have to ask me. Chapter 308 - We Have Definitely Overlooked Some Details

Chapter 308: We Have Definitely Overlooked Some Details

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai temporarily gave up when he saw that Mu Chenyan was not giving in. He looked at Su Qingcheng ncing at his other team members. He said in a low voice, Weve definitely overlooked some details! Wu Huai pondered for some time. He said suddenly, Bring those two reporters over. I want to interrogate them in person. Ill have to go through the materials that they provided again. Little Jiang, go to the Yuan household and call Mrs. Yuan over! He was really going to question Wen Ya. Mu Chenyans heart was troubled when she heard this, but she knew that it was wrong for her to be swayed by her own emotions. She turned to Wu Huai and whispered, Wen Ya is a pitiful person. If she really wanted to harm Yuan Zhe, she wouldve done something many years ago. She suffered in silence instead for a such a long time... Miss Mu, you have to put your sisterly bond aside when youre trying to solve a case. She would be questioned even if she didnt do anything wrong. You shouldnt be too bothered about this. When Wu Huai spoke, he noticed that Mu Chenyan did not bat an eyelid. He continued, Miss Mu, youll be questioned as well. Ive heard that the members of the Yuan Family have been at odds with each other... Captain Wu, go ahead and interrogate me. This isnt my first time! Mu Chenyans expression remained unchanged. As she spoke, Mu Chenyan rose and left the meeting early. Su Qingcheng rushed over to her. Chenyan, dont take Captain Wus words to heart. This is just a part of the investigation. Mu Chenyan smiled when she noticed that Su Qingcheng looked anxious. Im not afraid. I just feel bad for Wen Ya. But I know that this is merely one of the procedures to solve the case. Dont worry about me! * It did not take long for the Old Mistress to discover that Wen Ya was taken to the police department. She was infuriated when she heard that Wen Ya was their primary suspect. She called Yuan Xuan over and made him investigate the situation, and they should bring Wen Ya home immediately if she had done nothing wrong. Yuan Xuan behaved rationally. He consoled her by saying, Grandmother, I understand that you like Wen Ya, but the police have to do this when a murder is involved. They will have to interrogate me as well. You wouldnt have to worry too much about this. The Old Mistress sighed. Weve had an unlucky year. There have been two murder cases that involved the Yuan Family. Ruoxins death is still a mystery while my Zhe Zhe... The whole family could not mention Yuan Zhes death now. The Old Mistress would cry until she was out of breath whenever she thought of him. Yuan Xuan continued tofort her until his grandmother had finally calmed down. * Yuan Xuan left Upper Mansion and drove to Shao Yibais mountain vi. The young soldier had transferred several strong troops from Capital City over here because he felt lonely living in this huge manor by himself. They would ride horses, shoot, and spar with him every day around the manor. He busied himself with these things every day. Yuan Zhes death has made everything boring. Shao Yibai threw a pistol at Yuan Xuan. He loaded his own gun and fired 5 times at a target that was 50 meters away. He was a muscr and attractive man. The bones in his arms were strong and healthy while his muscles were also well-developed. He had no issue with controlling the guns recoil. Yuan Xuan looked at his results. He had gotten 10 points three times and 9 points twice. Yuan Xuan also liked shooting, but he could not beat Shao Yibai in terms of marksmanship. He loaded his gun and fired 5 shots as well. Shao Yibaiughed when he saw the results. That was terrible! Hmph! Im no match for you on the shooting range, but Im certainly better in the bedroom! Yuan Xuan smirked. He turned around and saw Shao Yibais lips tremble. He felt much better now. How do you know? Shao Yibai refused to back down. I made Daisy feel as though she was about to die from ecstasy... But how many times could you do it? I can do that anytime! Yuan Xuan gave a faint smile. His expression showed that he wanted to pick a fight with him... Shao Yibai felt miserabletely. Su Qingcheng hadpletely severed her ties with him after they slept together once. Her exact words were: Youve already gotten what you wanted, so our rtionship ends here! What?! What did she mean? Did she think that he only wanted her for her body? Was Shao Yibai really that kind of person? Nheless, he was certainly upset now that Yuan Xuan was making fun of him and it had truly been a while since hisst sexual intercourse. Shao Yibai wanted nothing more than to drag Su Qingcheng over here now. He wanted to trap her on his bed and make love to her for three days and three nights. Yuan Xuan would never dare to tease him ever again... That woman has no time for anything other than that case. I couldnt even get hold of her if I wanted to... Shao Yibai remembered that Su Qingcheng was basically living in the police department now. He became slightly dejected when he realized that he could not charge into the major crimes department and take that woman away. Little Chenyan is constantly busy too! Both of us have been sabotaged by Yuan Zhes death. Little Chenyan cant rest peacefully if this case isnt solved. She shouldnt have been a reporter! An affectionate smile appeared on Yuan Xuans face when he mentioned Mu Chenyan. The sight made Shao Yibais skin crawled. Hmph, she shouldve chosen a different career path if shed rather solve the cases than write about them! Your Little Chenyan certainly has big goals. Shao Yibai smiled and asked, What do you think of Yuan Zhes death? Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai sat at the tea table under the veranda. The servant came and served them some fragrant Pu-er tea. Yuan Xuan liked the Pu-er tea that Shao Yibai brought over. He had served in Yun Nan and Gui Zhou before and he still remained in contact with the locals there. They would always send him the purest Pu-er tea when the season came around every year. Yuan Zhe was an unreasonable b*stard with a violent temper. It wasnt surprising that this happened to him. However, the killer was very cautious as they managed to think of a seemingly wless way to kill him. The major crimes department cant even make heads or tails of the situation. Yuan Tangzhong is basically helpless now that Nie Chao and Yuan Zhe have died. He was forced to leave his sons murder case to the police as hes dealing with other matters. This is certainly a good opportunity for us to tie up our loose ends. Yuan Xuan pressed his seductive lips against the rim of his teacup as he spoke. When do you n to make your move? Not now. Yuan Xuan was still apprehensive about many things. The Old Mistress had yet to recover from Yuan Zhes death. Itll be too much for her to handle if we hurt Yuan Tangzhong now! Youre right. However, Yuan Tangzhong wasnt the only one who was seriously affected by Yuan Zhes death. He had previously maintained close ties with Mu Chenwu. Now that hes dead, Mu Chenwu is fighting a lone battle. He might contact Little Chenyan for help! said Shao Yibai. Id thought of that too. Ill make the necessary arrangements for Little Chenyan. Perhaps we can use this to expose him. Yuan Xuan seemed to have everything in the palm of his hand. The police will be investigating this case openly while I do the same in secret. I believe that the person who is hiding behind our backs will be unable to support himself sooner orter! Shao Yibai pondered for some time. Once this case is solved, Ill take Su Qingcheng somewhere and show her that its worth giving me a shot! * Shao Yibais wish would be fulfilled very quickly. The case was far lessplicated than they thought. The major crimes department immediately realized their mistake once they put their minds to it. Yuan Zhe had made two pots of coffee throughout the duration of the interview. All three of them drank more than half of the first batch of coffee once it was served. After that, he boiled more water to refill the coffee pot. He was the only one who drank the second batch of coffee; the two reporters only had the coffee that was made with the first pot of water... Go to the Yuan Family Mansion immediately and examined the water supply system there! instructed Wu Huai at once after he heard the reporters statements. Chapter 309 - Water Supply System

Chapter 309: Water Supply System

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion They did not notice this previously because they were misled by the reporters interview footage. Wu Huai had initially assumed that the interview footage was shot continuously. The thought suddenly crossed Ma Lipings mind when Wu Huai asked whether they had stopped filming in between scenes to add extra footage. She said, We took a break when Mr. Yuan went to replenish the coffee in the middle of filming. An advertisement was being shown on the live stream at that time... Wu Huai managed to confirm this through the website and the broadcasting station. A three-minute advertisement was being shown at that moment indeed. In other words, all three of you drank the first batch of coffee together, but Yuan Zhe drank the second batch by himself once it was refilled? Yes, thats right! Wu Huais thoughts had cleared up. Yuan Zhes second cup of coffee was the cause of their problems. This meant that the killer had already calcted that he would refill it and have another cup! Bring me Mrs. Yuans statement from her previous interrogation! Wu Huai ordered. Su Qingcheng knew that Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya were close friends. She noticed that Wu Huais attention was constantly focused on Wen Ya. She muttered to herself that nothing right was going toe out of this. Wu Huai watched all of the statements that were rted to this case. He sped his big hands together and quietly said, Im going to the crime scene again! * Wu Huai walked around the inside of Peace Mansion. The crime scene had been sealed since they finished their previous checks. Xue Meiwei heard that the police had returned. She reluctantly got up and went outside to look. Within a few days, this elegant and respected woman had now be terribly feeble. She became so skinny that she looked like apletely different person. Her only remaining servant supported Xue Meiwei as she walked. The woman said in a trembling voice, Captain Wu, youve been busy for so many days. Are there any new developments in the case? The major crimes department wont be able to rest as long as this case remains unsolved. Tangzhong has already spoken to our local representatives... Wu Huai nced at Xue Meiwei. He realized that this old woman had probably suffered terribly when she lost her son. Although he was usually an unyielding person, he became morepassionate now. Dont worry, Mrs. Yuan. Ill handle this case properly even if the local representatives arent pressuring me. Victims are still citizens regardless of their statuses as wealthy aristocrats ormon people. Its my duty and responsibility to solve these cases. Wu Huai spoke gently and behaved humbly. He was respectful towards Xue Meiwei because she was about the same age as his mother. Frankly, he had initially refused to deal with aristocratic families. As a normal person who was used to the chaos of everyday life, he was not used to these wealthy individuals who looked down upon everything. Xue Meiwei chuckled dryly. Thank you for your trouble, Captain Wu! Since youre here again today, what can I do for you? Please let me know. Wu Huai asked tly, What was Yuan Zhe and his wife Wen Yas rtionship usually like? Xue Meiwei became slightly agitated when Wu Huai asked about Wen Ya. Her eyes shot open while her voice became more high-pitched. Did Wen Ya do this to my son? No, youve got it wrong, Mrs. Yuan. Im not asking this because Im suspicious of Wen Ya. This is merely a formality. We have to ask about the people who were rted to the victim in close detail. Yuan Zhes murder happened in his own home. Everyone here is a suspect, including the servants! Xue Meiwei still had some trouble believing Wu Huai once he had finished exining everything. Among the people in their household, Wen Ya was definitely one of them who hated Yuan Zhe the most. She was obviously aware that Yuan Zhe had abused Wen Ya. The only person whom they were hiding this from was the Old Mistress. The mistreatment was an open secret in Peace Mansion. Wen Ya might seem like a mild-mannered person, but she was not aplete pushover. She was famous among the female entrepreneurs in Luo Hai for her sess in the National Arts Commerce. Why would a woman like her subject herself to such abuse? Frankly, my daughter-inw may seem gentle and faultless, but her rtionship with Yuan Zhe has been fraught with problems, Captain Wu. Yuan Zhe had a temper, so it was inevitable that they would fight sometimes! Wen Ya is a cunning and calctive woman. You dont have to show her mercy if you discover that she was involved in this! Xue Meiwei seemed to have made the decision to sever her ties with her daughter-inw. She had never wanted this woman as her daughter-inw, so how could she be good enough for her son? Wu Huai nced at Xue Meiwei and nodded. I wont be lenient no matter who the killer is! * Su Qingcheng dropped by in secret with Mu Chenyan. The corners of Wu Huais lips curled upward into a smirk when he saw Mu Chenyan. Miss Mu, you should really think about changing jobs! Youre too kind, Captain Wu. Youre a criminal police officer despite your background as an elite in the business world. Im merely an outsider who came to watch the exciting events unfold! Mu Chenyan knew that Wu Huai was reluctant to involve her. This was the best time for her to be thick-skinned. Miss Mu, dont forget that you could also be a suspect! I havent forgotten. Im following you so that you can interrogate me whenever you like! Mu Chenyan smiled. Wu Huai did not say anything and focused on Peace Mansions west wing instead. Nothing had changed since the murder happened here, except for the human outline that was drawn with a white color pencil. This was done to mark the original location where the corpse was found. Wen Ya had moved to Upper Mansion. Although Qinger and Wen Ya had never been close, Qinger was friendly toward her when she arrived. They acted like a pair of close sisters in front of the Old Mistress. They were even considerate of each other. Wu Huai circled the hall and inspected it before he went to the dining room and kitchen. Miss Mu, does the entire Yuan Family use the same water supply system? Wu Huai asked Mu Chenyan this when he noticed that there were two water inlets in the kitchen. Theyre basically the same! Mu Chenyan came over to inspect it as well. She pointed at a slightlyrger faucet. We usually use the bigger tap to wash our ingredients and cutlery. There was another water inlet next to it. A slightly smaller faucet was connected to this one. It had a screw-like handle. Mu Chenyan pointed at the smaller faucet, saying, The Yuan Family imported this water filter from Germany. These filters are installed throughout all the mansions. The filtered water can either be drank cold or hot from here. This handle is used to control the water temperature. She knew these things about the house because she usually cooked at home with Ah Fu. Wu Huai pulled the handle. Cold water came out of the left valve while hot water came out of the right one. Can you drink this water directly? asked Wu Huai. He knew that certain aristocrats were so spoiled that they never drank the water from local sources. He stayed away from arrogant and picky people like them because he was not used to their behavior. Yes, we can drink it directly. This water is sourced from the Hundred Grain Mountain Spring at Autumn View Mountain. It bes super clean once it passes through the water filter. We usually just drink this water at home instead of getting water from other sources. Mu Chenyan noticed that Wu Huais expression had darkened once she finished speaking. The man seemed lost in his own thoughts. Suddenly, he kneeled down and opened the door of the bottom cab. He saw that the pipes connector was hidden inside there. Wu Huai called loudly for the technician, Liu Qi. Little Liu, remove this connector for me. I want to look inside. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng exchanged nces. They had no clue what Wu Huai was doing. Liu Qi came over with his specialized tools and removed the pipe efficiently. Chapter 310 - I Felt Nothing When Yuan Zhe Died

Chapter 310: I Felt Nothing When Yuan Zhe Died

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy @Trantion Liu Qi came over with his specialized tools and removed the pipe efficiently. He revealed the internal structure to Wu Huai. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng took the opportunity to sneak a few nces as well. There was a Y-shaped divider at the valve connector where the sink was turned on. Wu Huai signaled Little Jiang to take a water sample from both inlets. He also instructed Liu Qi to take the detached valve connector back to theboratory to have it tested. Mu Chenyan had no idea what Wu Huai was thinking. Captain Wu, are there any new developments? Wen Ya asked quietly. She had just walked out of the door that led to the main hall. Wu Huai had not seen Wen Ya for several days. She looked weaker now than she did during the interrogation. There was a pitiful look in her dark, sunken eyes. Mrs. Yuan, were just here to collect some water samples to be tested. Wu Huai spoke gently. Wen Ya nodded before she murmured, I hope the case will be solved soon. Mrs. Yuan, do you mean that sincerely or... Wu Huai paused. He stared at Wen Yas pale little face sternly. He attempted to detect if she was hiding something by scrutinizing at her expression. Captain Wu, I honestly felt nothing when Yuan Zhe died! Wen Ya smiled gently and said, Youve been investigating this case for such a long time. Youre probably aware that Yuan Zhe was constantly abusing me. When he died, I felt like Id finally escaped from him. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng truly felt bad for Wen Ya when they saw the miserable smile on her face. Wen Ya, dont say that... Mu Chenyan tried to stop her. Chenyan, Ive always been the biggest suspect. The things I said wont change Captain Wus impression of me! Wen Ya turned to Wu Huai when she spoke. Wu Huai hesitated for a moment before he fixed his gaze on Wen Ya again. His deep voice echoed as he said, Mrs. Yuan, thats only true because you had a likely motive to murder him! Yes, indeed! Ive been enduring this torture for such a long time. Its indeed a possible motive for me to kill my husband to get away from him. You did the right thing when you began your investigation by suspecting me. I dont me you for that. You asked me if I truly wanted the case to be solved, or if I was merely pretending. Well, I truly wanted it to end! Wen Ya paused. Tears glistened in her red-rimmed eyes. Youll see that Im innocent once the case is solved... Mu Chenyan walked over and held Wen Ya while she sobbed. Wen Ya, youre definitely innocent. Dont cry. The truth will be revealed sooner orter! Wen Ya smiled and nced at the hall before she turned to Wu Huai. She said, Can I go inside and look around? Wu Huai was unaware of Wen Yas intentions. He pondered and said to Su Qingcheng, Little Su, go inside with her. Su Qingcheng followed his orders and followed Wen Ya into the hall. Nothing had changed since the day of the murder. Aside from several cans of snacks and the coffee pot that they usually used, everything else on the coffee table including the tea set had been taken to the major crimes department as evidence. Wen Ya went into the kitchen. She saw that the faucet and the connecting pipes inside the bottom cab were already removed. The things inside the wine rack in the dining room were untouched. Wen Ya looked at the wine rack. She pointed at a container of sugar cubes at the top of the wine rack and asked Su Qingcheng, Why didnt you take this as evidence? Su Qingcheng took the sugar container down from the wine rack. She asked, Whats inside? Wen Ya was puzzled and rather shocked. Sugar cubes! Were you unaware that Yuan Zhe puts sugar cubes in his coffee? Su Qingcheng stared nkly. Wed previously taken a can of sugar cubes to be tested in theboratory! Those two reporters saw Mr. Yuan adding sugar cubes from a transparent crystal container. Does this container contain sugar cubes too? Su Qingcheng was confused. She examined the exquisite wooden sugar container several times. This little purple can seemed like an antique. The borders on top were also rimmed with gold. Su Qingcheng would have assumed that it was a jewelry box if Wen Ya had not said anything. These are mint vored sugar cubes. I dont know where Yuan Zhe got them. He liked weird things. Hed add these strange sugar cubes to his coffee whenever he drank it. I thought that you took it away... Wen Ya took the wooden sugar container from Su Qingcheng when she spoke. She opened it to reveal the square sugar cubes that were neatly arranged inside. They were wrapped in a fine wrapper and ced inside the box. The box was previously full! Wen Ya was shocked. Her trembling hands nearly dropped the box but Su Qingcheng rushed over and took it from her. Captain Wu, we have a situation here! Wu Huai immediately rushed over when he heard Su Qingcheng yelling. Su Qingcheng passed the box of sugar cubes to him. These are Yuan Zhes special sugar cubes, but one cube is missing! * Wu Huai brought the new pieces of evidence back to the police department. The forensic department took the sugar cubes and water samples from him to be tested in theboratory. Mu Chenyans heart was pounding erratically. Yuan Xuan said that he would pick her up after work, so she rushed out of the police department. Yuan Xuans car was already waiting for her outside the entrance. Whats wrong? You look upset! Yuan Xuan could tell that his woman was in low spirits. He held the steering wheel with one hand and held her palm in the other. He pinched and caressed it however he liked. His teasing soon made Mu Chenyan forget her worries. Drive properly! The woman blushed as she pushed his hand away. Yuan Xuan was not annoyed by her rejection. He merely smiled and trained his eyes on the road in front of him while trying to glimpse any changes of his wife from the corner of his eye. Mu Chenyan had a long day. She dozed off within seconds. Upon waking up, she realized that they had not returned to Hibiscus Garden. They were at a hot spring resort in the mountains instead... Why are we here? The manuscripts that she wrote these past few days were only half done. She had initially nned to finish them at home, but she was suddenly dragged here. Her expression showed that she was a bit upset as the man pulled her into the hotel lobby. Mr. Yuan, should we adjust the temperature of the water in your reserved room again? Mu Chenyan heard the receptionist say to Yuan Xuan respectfully. Apparently, this man had nned everything beforehand. He had even reserved a room! Its fine. Send over the Japanese food that I ordered earlier in awhile. My wife is very hungry! Yuan Xuan tugged at Mu Chenyan and smiled gently. Mu Chenyan recalled that Yuan Xuan had previously mentioned a nice vacation spot that Shao Yibai had discovered. He said that he wanted to let her experience it. He was probably referring to this ce! There were numerous hot springs in Luo Hai but only a handful of them was authentic. The genuine ones were usually found in the outskirts of town. Yuan Xuan had definitely driven his sports car at an incredible speed to reach this ce in an hour. They were surrounded by green hills and crystal clear water. They felt as though they were in paradise when they entered their room. The interior of the room was decorated with Japanese furnishings. There was also a huge floor-length window in the main hall that allowed them to see past the horizon in one nce. Outside the window, there was a staircase that led downward to a spacious open-air hot spring. As this particr hot spring could only be essed through this path, the pool was only meant to be used by the guests who stayed in this room. It was the beginning of autumn, and the night air was a bit chilly. Mu Chenyan waspletely exhausted. When she saw the wide, pool-sized hot spring, she suddenly felt the urge to jump inside. Ill go with you once weve eaten and rested! Yuan Xuan hung his coat inside the closet. He murmured beside Mu Chenyans ear, I love ying in the water with you... Chapter 311 - Your Stamina Is Terrible, My Little Chenyan

Chapter 311: Your Stamina Is Terrible, My Little Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan ate a lot during dinner. Frankly, she ate whatever she wanted without one bit of hesitation, so she was incredibly full at the moment. She was so thin that her t little abdomen still looked taut even if she felt bloated when she removed her clothes. Mu Chenyan grabbed her swimsuit. She was about to put it on when Yuan Xuan stopped her. Why are you wearing a swimsuit? Yuan Xuan threw the ck bikini aside. In Japan, men and women treat each other respectfully despite sharing the same pool. Why would you need a swimsuit when were the only ones here? Mu Chenyan groaned. She was still somewhat hesitant. Her body that was wrapped in a towel flushed red. Im embarrassed to go in naked... Please let me... Embarrassed? Yuan Xuan smirked yfully. Havent I seen every inch of your body already? Mu Chenyan bit her lip. A resentful look appeared on her face as she hesitated. She knew that this man harbored ill intentions. She was right. She could already feel the scorching heat radiating off his body when he carried her downstairs while she was still d in that towel. They were about to have a romantic encounter in the water soon. The water was adjusted to a suitable temperature. The woman was able to rx both mentally and physically very soon. Mu Chenyan leaned against the sidezily. Yuan Xuan poured a ss of red wine for her and ced it on a floating wooden nk. The womans eyes were barely open when the nk drifted toward her. She lifted her hand and took the wine ss. She pressed her lips against the rim and took a sip. The smell of alcohol was slightly intoxicating to her. After all, she was not used to drinking. She merely drank a tiny sip out of courtesy. Her husband approached her the moment she put the wine ss down. He said in a deep voice, Why dont you take another sip? Mu Chenyan shook her head. She felt sluggish and had trouble keeping her eyes open now. She was exhausted after these past few busy days. All she could think about is sleep after submerging herself in the pool. Alcohol was the cause of many problems. Mu Chenyan made a mental note to drink responsibly. However, she had underestimated Yuan Xuans domineering personality. Suddenly, he covered her lips and stopped her breath from leaving her mouth. Mu Chenyan moaned quietly as warm liquid trickled past the gaps between her teeth... Mmm... In a moment of panic, Mu Chenyan wrapped her arms around the mans shoulders. His breath was moist and frenzied... Yuan Xuan chuckled. Little Chenyan, I like this side of you! Mu Chenyan blushed delicately. She looked like she was waiting for him to have his way with her. This made her indescribably alluring... Are you trying to take advantage of me again? Mu Chenyan shook her head. Her eyes were misted over. She pleaded in a small voice, Im so tired... You dont have to move. Ill do it... His hands started moving impatiently as he spoke. Mu Chenyan moaned, but she covered her mouth when she realized suddenly that they were still out in the open. Her eyes darted back and forth frantically. Lets go to the bedroom... Yuan Xuan ignored her pleas. He lifted her with his hands and flipped her over. Her smooth back was now flushed after being soaked in the hot spring. Yuan Xuan kissed the top of her head gently. Then, his lips moved to her ear before making his way down... He was meticulous and careful. Not a single inch of her skin was neglected... Mu Chenyans body trembled and tensed under his lips. Her little hands grabbed the shiny pebbles beside the pool as she endured the burning heat teasing her from behind. She bit her lips firmly to silence herself. Her cheeks were bright red now. In the end, she could not stop herself from moaning quietly... Baby, these feelings are perfectly normal. Dont hold back... Yuan Xuan started moving again as he spoke. Mu Chenyan sighed softly. The water sshed about... The waves rippled as the couple intertwined themselves intimately. Moan for me, Little Chenyan... Yuan Xuan whispered in her ear. Mu Chenyan sobbed quietly and refused toply. In the end, she cried out and even yelled until her throat became hoarse... Before Mu Chenyan fainted, she heard the manin unhappily, Your stamina is terrible, my Little Chenyan. Damn, he was so close! * Yuan Xuan held his wife in his arms and carried her out of the pool. Mu Chenyan slept soundly that night. Yuan Xuan yed with her hair and kissed her face. She had no idea that Mu Chenwus subordinates had ambushed Sheng Yu while she and Yuan Xuan were frolicking in the water. They had attempted to kidnap Yan Mei... Yuan Xuans phone screen shed when Yan Jun called him. He opened the sliding door and walked to the balcony to avoid disturbing the woman who was sound asleep. Sir, you were right. Mu Chenwus men ambushed Sheng Yu Hospital. Fortunately, our defenses were already in ce beforehand. Mrs. Mu is safe. Yan Jun was in awe of Yuan Xuans foresight. Yuan Xuan turned his head and looked through the floor-length window. He saw the woman turn over on therge bed in the bedroom. He whispered, Tell them not to mention this to the mistress. Yan Jun nodded and agreed. Yuan Xuan had personally picked the mistress up from work earlier tonight. He took her out to rx because he wanted to prevent her from thinking too much about such upsetting things. Dawn broke, and the exhausted woman woke up to Yuan Xuan pressing light kisses on her lips. She opened her eyes and met his dark pupils. His eyes were like two deep and ancient ponds in which steady undercurrents surged. He resembled a perfectly satisfied person who was filled with happiness. Lets return to Luo Hai... Dont you want to stay a little longer? Youve been working so hard these few days. I hate seeing you so exhausted. Yuan Xuans voice was deep and affectionate. Mu Chenyan actually liked this quiet ce very much. However, she feared that Yuan Xuan would ravish herpletely if they hid here as if they were Adam and Eve. What about your work? Im the boss! Youre an irresponsible, greedy boss who only cares about himself then! Yuan Xuan was about to fasten the buttons on his white shirt, but his hands paused when he heard Mu Chenyans retort. This woman was already arguing with him when her eyes could barely open themselves. He sighed. It seems like the mistress still has some energy to spare. Mu Chenyan realized that she hadnded in hot water when he said that... The mans warm lips touched hers in an instant... Mu Chenyan moved her head away in a failed attempt to hide from him. This man had an endless supply of stamina. It seemed as though she could never fulfill his needs. ... It was almost noon when Mu Chenyan finally managed to escape from Yuan Xuan. She did not have to report to the police department today since it was a weekend. Nheless, the major crimes departments staff were still busy with other cases aside from Yuan Zhes case. Mu Chenyan nced at her phone and noticed that she had one missed call from Su Qingcheng. An ominous feeling rose in her heart. She returned the call immediately. Chenyan, where are you? Su Qingchengs tone was slightly frantic. What happened? Mu Chenyan grabbed her clothes and put them on just as Yuan Xuan came out of the bathroom. He asked, Arent you going to take a shower? Youre still drenched in sweat. Su Qingcheng understood what was going on when she heard Yuan Xuans voice through the phone. A faint smirk appeared on her face. Did I intrude on a private moment? Its over... The words escaped Mu Chenyans mouth before realized that it was a trap. Hurry up and tell me whats going on. Dont change the subject. Zheng Shuyan surrendered himself to the police. Do you want toe over and take a look? * Mu Chenyan was not entirely surprised by this conclusion. Zheng Shuyan was not a stranger to her. She was also aware of his feelings toward Wen Ya. His motives tomit this murder were so apparent. Mu Chenyans heart ached still. This abnormal feeling left her confused. Inside the major crimes departments interrogation room, the man was dressed in white from head to toe. He was as proper, elegant, andposed as always. Zheng Shuyans calm demeanor allowed him to remain poised in situations like these. Mu Chenyan looked at the man through the monitor. It seemed as though she had been transported back in the past. She saw a younger Zheng Shuyan standing beside Wen Ya. He was dressed in white as well, and his smile was incredibly bright. However, fate was cruel. Who knew that Luo Hais renown orthopedic surgeon, an angel who had saved countless patients on the operating table, would be a murderer one day... I poisoned Yuan Zhe to death! Zheng Shuyans tone was indifferent. I figured that it was time for me to confess because the investigations were almostplete. Wu Huai was interrogating him himself. He had been at this job for over a decade, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Unlike the average suspects, this man seemed to belittle everything. He was unbothered by his status as a murderer. His attitude showed that he was not in touch with reality. There was not a slightest hint of panic on his handsome face. Mr Zheng, I hope youre aware of the risks of giving a false statement. Youll be forced to assume legal responsibility if that happens, warned Wu Huai. Wu Huais sense of justice was apparent on his stern face. I know. Zheng Shuyan chuckled darkly. Why would I be worried about being charged with giving a false statement when Ive already killed someone? Wu Huais gaze were locked on Zheng Shuyan. Tell us how you poisoned him. Zheng Shuyan gave a faint smile. I assume that youve found the can of mint vored sugar cubes by now? Wu Huai was stunned for a moment. Then, he asked in a low voice, What sugar cubes? Ill show you where they are if you havent found them yet. Zheng Shuyans gaze shifted toward the surveince camera. He said, Wen Ya, Im sorry. For some reason, Mu Chenyans heart felt as though it was being wrung dry. Tell us what happened! Wu Huai had always regarded Zheng Shuyan as someone who came prepared. People like Zheng Shuyan handled their tasks with extreme caution and attentiveness. Werent there two servants who served Yuan Zhe in Peace Mansion? Wu Huai nodded when he heard this. One of the servants had already given her statement while the other one was said to be on leave. They could not locate her all this while. You dont have to look for the other servant because Ive handled everything for her already. Youll never see her in Luo Hai again, said Zheng Shuyan while a faint smile glimmered in his gaze. Her father was recently diagnosed with chronic leukemia, a terminal illness. It wouldnt make any difference whether they treated him or not, but his daughter wanted to save him no matter what. However, she couldnt afford it. I paid for the patients treatment out of my own pocket when I took him in. The girl wept tears of gratitude and asked how she could repay me. A sinister smile appeared in the corners of Zheng Shuyans eyes. A lot of things made sense to Wu Huai after he heard that. So youve known that she was the Yuan Familys servant all along? Im just a doctor, not a god! Zheng Shuyan leaned back against his chair when he said this. His posture remained elegant. Of course I had another purpose in mind when I offered to pay for her fathers medical expenses! What happened next? I injected M36n into Yuan Zhes favorite mint vored sugar cubes. After that, I gave it to the servant and told her to take it back with her. Zheng Shuyans smile turned stranger and harder to read when he said this. M36n was a new lethal poison that I developed. It wasnt clinically tested, but the results were rather satisfactory. Mr. Yuan Zhe was myb rat! Chapter 312 - He Forced a Kind Person like Me to Be Cruel

Chapter 312: He Forced a Kind Person like Me to Be Cruel

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zheng Shuyans words filled Wu Huai with rage. Doctor Zheng, have you forgotten your oath? A mocking look appeared on Zheng Shuyans attractive face. The corners of his mouth dipped downward. He looked at Wu Huai and said tly, Captain Wu, are you saying that its my duty to cure illnesses and save lives? Wu Huai gave him a stern re but remained quiet. I know that, of course. Ive been performing my duties virtuously all this while. But what was the point? Ive saved so many lives but I still feel guilty. My mother died a slow death at home while I was in university because she couldnt afford her treatment. Ive saved so many lives but I could only watch helplessly as that wretched b*stard tortured the woman I loved! Ive saved so many lives but I was no match for Yuan Zhes schemes. Expelling my sister from university was a piece of cake for him. My brother was also forced to close his restaurant because Yuan Zhe sent people to damage it... Wu Huai listened without saying a word. His expression darkened. He understood the conflict and pain in Zheng Shuyans heart. He forced a kind person like me to be cruel! Zheng Shuyans lips tugged into a faint smile. He continued, I didnt want to frame any innocent parties. I just wanted to kill Yuan Zhe. Thats why his weird sugar cubes were such a great starting point. He wouldnt let anyone else drink the coffee with his mint vored sugar cubes! Mu Chenyan heard everything clearly despite being outside the interrogation room. It seemed that Zheng Shuyan had devising this murder since Wen Ya was first hospitalized. You couldve chosen many other ways to poison him. Why did you insist oncing the sugar cubes with the lethal substance? Wu Huais gaze fell on Zheng Shuyans side profile. He seemed lost in thought. You have a point. I couldve poisoned his food or water instead. However, this wouldve increase the chances of harming Wen Ya. Zheng Shuyans gaze softened when he mentioned Wen Ya. He also suppressed his voice and spoke in a gentler tone. I picked a day when Wen Ya wouldnt be at home. It was also the day of Yuan Zhes interview. I wanted many people to witness the moment when this devil received his rightful punishment! A look of madness appeared in Zheng Shuyans eyes. He tapped his fingertips gently against the tabletop. He was tremendously pleased with himself. Did you forgot about the overwhelming public pressure that would follow when you picked the day of the live stream? We had to put all the more effort into the investigation because of this. Wouldnt that increase your chances of getting caught too? Frankly, Wu Huai realized that they would not have prioritized this case over the others if it had not left such a huge impact online. I never wanted to escape! Zheng Shuyanughed. You dont have to arrest that servant either. She waspletely unaware of the fact that I had given her a poisoned sugar cube. She only came looking for me when she heard about this case. She asked me if I had used her, so I gave her a huge sum of money and told her to rx and hide. The truth to the case was revealed, but Mu Chenyan still felt that something was amiss. She could not tell where the source of her intuition came from though. Wu Huai noticed that his assistant was sorting out the statements. He asked all of a sudden, Im guess that Wen Ya yed a part in this too? Zheng Shuyan was shocked. His initially calm face abruptly turned savage. He roared, Youre all devils! Wen Ya has gone through so much, but you still refuse to let her off. You keep insisting on bothering her! Youre supposed to pay attention to the evidence when youre solving a case! You have to prove that Wen Ya was involved in this crime. You cant just make things up. Little Ya is innocent. She cant handle your suspicions!

Chapter 313: Mu Chenyan Anxiously Lowered Her Head When the Words Brother Xuan Escaped Her Lips

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Even in death, an evil person like Yuan Zhe still managed to drag Zheng Shuyan down with him. Mu Chenyan was torn when she thought of Wen Ya. Yuan Zhes death was supposed to give Wen Ya a second chance at love. However, Zheng Shuyan was in deep trouble now. Mu Chenyan thought, What would Wen Ya do now? A frail woman threw herself on Mu Chenyan when she left the police department. She grabbed Mu Chenyan with her little hands. Chenyan, did Zheng Shuyan really turn himself in? Mu Chenyan was shocked when she realized that this woman was Wen Ya. She noticed the hopeful look in Wen Yas eyes. Wen Ya desperately wanted Mu Chenyan to refute these ims. Wen Ya, lets... Lets go home! Mu Chenyan dragged Wen Ya toward the parking lot. No! Wen Ya pushed Mu Chenyans arm away. That ce has never been my home... How could Zheng Shuyan kill somebody... Hes such a kind person. Youve wrongly used him... I killed Yuan Zhe so the police should arrest me instead. Zheng Shuyan would never kill anyone... said Wen Ya tearfully. She lunged toward the police department. Mu Chenyan noticed that Wen Ya was extremely emotional. She rushed over and held her. Wen Ya, calm down! Wen Ya had trouble eating ever since her husbands murder. She threw up anything she ate. Her fragile body continued to grow weaker as she was unable to consume food. She could not break away from Mu Chenyans grasp. Chenyan, let me go. I need to see Zheng Shuyan... I must tell him that... I love him... Wen Ya wailed loudly. She spared no effort to struggle past Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan kept a tight grip around Wen Yas waist and refused to let go. Wen Ya, rx. Im going to see Wu Ze... Hes the bestwyer in Luo Hai. Hell fight for Zheng Shuyan... Wen Ya wept pitifully. Tears streamed down her eyes. She had almost freed herself from Mu Chenyans grip during their physical scuffle. Wen Ya stopped crying when she heard what Mu Chenyan had said. Chenyan, is that true? Would Wu Ze really do that? Mu Chenyan knew about Wu Ze and Yuan Xuans personal rtionship. Frankly, she was unsure whether Yuan Xuan would insist on taking the Yuan Familys side. Mu Chenyan would be forced to constantly pester Wu Ze if Yuan Xuan disagreed with her. Dont worry, Wen Ya. Ill do everything I can. Ill ask Wu Ze for help. Zheng Shuyans case will be filed for a public prosecution. Dont act rashly because itll upset Zheng Shuyan... Mu Chenyan stroked Wen Yas messy hair while she spoke. Her heart ached terribly when she saw that Wen Yas miserable little face was stained with tears. Chenyan, Ill leave this to you then... Wen Ya sobbed before she following Mu Chenyan into her car obediently. Mu Chenyan called Tian Qi and asked him toe over to drive Wen Yas car back. ... Hibiscus Garden... Yuan Xuan noticed the gloomy expression on Mu Chenyans face when she returned home. The womansplexion was looking well after they had soaked in the hot springs together, but she lookedpletely worn out now. She even chased Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet away when they came over to y with her. She looked very troubled. News of the murderers surrender reached the Yuan Family Mansion in the afternoon. Yuan Xuan guessed that his wife was probably upset because of this. He recalled that Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya were good friends. He must pay for the murder with his life. Its useless for you to get so upset about it. Yuan Xuan brought Mu Chenyan a blueberry vored yogurt drink. He inserted the straw and passed it to her. Mu Chenyan took it from him. She pressed it against her lips and took a sip. The cool sensation and sweet taste instantly made her feel slightly better. Yuan Xuan, would you stop me if I asked Wu Ze to represent Zheng Shuyan in court as hiswyer? Mu Chenyan wanted to know Yuan Xuans position in this matter. Yuan Xuan was seated on the other side of the sofa. There was a lot of space between him and Mu Chenyan. He crossed his legs and held a cigarette between his fingers. Taking a small puff, he exhaled out ring after ring of smoke. He remembered soon that Mu Chenyan did not like it when he smoked, so he snubbed out the cigarette on the ashtray right away. He murmured, Im sorry. I forgot that Mistress hates it when I do this! Mu Chenyan was secretly amused. This man obviously pretended to be terrified of his wife, but who would have thought that he would look so good while he was at it? Well have to see what Wu Ze thinks. Im fine as long as he agrees to take on the job. Yuan Xuans tone was indifferent. Ill let Mistress arrange everything. Mu Chenyan was a bit shocked. A hint of curiosity shed in her eyes as she looked at Yuan Xuan. This means that youre supporting my decision to go against the Yuan Family... Yuan Tangzhong would definitely think that she was betraying the Yuan Family if she went and hired Luo Hais bestwyer for Zheng Shuyan. Yes. Dont worry, Ill settle everything with the Old Mistress. She wont even think of getting in your way. The man narrowed his eyes as he spoke. A smile appeared on his handsome face. It looked like he was taking credit for Mu Chenyans work. He was seemingly asking his wife to hurry up and praise him... Mu Chenyan was could not help but be moved by his words. Brother Xuan, you... Why are you so nice to me? Mu Chenyan lowered her head frantically when the words Brother Xuan escaped her lips. Her cheeks were flushed, and her heart was beating rapidly. She would only refer to him this way when she was feeling emotional. However, she was perfectly fine earlier. Something must have riled her up and caused her to react this way. This affected Yuan Xuan as well. His entire body turned limp when he heard her gentle calling. This woman was bing more and more adorable. Yuan Xuan recalled her cold demeanor when she was just released from prison. He had previously assumed that his Little Chenyan would never be the same ever again... The man leaned toward her. He reached over to the other side of the sofa and pulled his wife into his arms. Mu Chenyan felt the scorching heat radiating off his chest when she leaned into his embrace. She saw his Adams apple bobbing up and down when she lifted her head. His eyes were also filled with anticipation. Mu Chenyan buried her face in his chest. Silly girl. Who else am I supposed to be nice to if not to you? The stubble on Yuan Xuans chin grazed against the top of Mu Chenyans head. You are too kind to me... Mu Chenyan wondered what their rtionship would be like if it was not marred by misunderstandings and arguments. Would they be a couple that everyone else envied? Youre right. You mustve saved the universe in your previous life. Thats why God sent me here to reward you! Pfft... Mu Chenyan could not help butugh when Yuan Xuan said those silly things with a straight face. She nuzzled her round and fuzzy head closer to his chest. Whats so funny? Do you think Im lying? Yuan Xuan rarely made jokes, but this one seemed rather effective. This woman looked very happy. No, its not that I dont believe you. I just felt that everything feels too good to be true now. Mu Chenyan paused. Yuan Xuan identally tickled her with hisrge hands when he was caressing the stray hairs beside her ear. Mu Chenyan wrapped her little hands around his waist tightly. She longed to spend the rest of her life like this. Im afraid that Ill wake up one day and this dream will end. Everything will vanish into thin air, including you... Mu Chenyan knew that she was only saying these things because she had been there to witness all the misfortunes that had happened between Zheng Shuyan and Wen Ya. Yuan Xuan was unaware of that. He merely assumed that she knew something that he did not. Little Chenyan, please remember that Ill love you no matter what happens! It has always been this way! Yuan Xuans Adams apple bobbed up and down. Hisrge hands tightened themselves around her as though he was afraid that she would leave. This was the first time Mu Chenyan heard him said that he loved her. The corners of her eyes dampened... Their love had nevere easily. Chapter 314 - Don’t Worry, I Trust Yuan Xuan

Chapter 314: Dont Worry, I Trust Yuan Xuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The cold autumn breeze filled the night. Dim moonlight shone on the hibiscus in front of Hibiscus Garden. The ground was tainted red by all the fallen petals. Yuan Xuan stood on the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers. Sparks flew from the cigarette, and a gloomy expression shed across his face. He took a long drag before he turned to look at the woman on the bed. The love bites could still be seen on her smooth shoulders. Time had passed in the blink of an eye. They have been married for three years, but they had actually known each other for fourteen years before that. However, they had only spent less than a year together as an actual couple. He would lose control of himself every time he desired her. He could not stop himself from leaving marks on her body. It seemed like he was marking his territory and dering his dominance. This woman belonged to him! Yuan Xuan knew why his mind was filled with worries. Shen Muqius men had already had a few conflicts with Mu Chenwus subordinates at the Southeast Region several times. There was also a possibility that Mu Feng was still alive! Yuan Xuan immediately thought of Mu Chenyan the moment he discovered this information. Mu Feng knew that Mu Chenyan was Yuan Xuans weakness. He had used his daughter as a means to manipte Yuan Xuan in the past. * Wu Ze seemed to be in a good mood when Mu Chenyan contacted him. Chenyan, youre finally learning to ask me for help! Mu Chenyans heart was filled with warmth. She murmured, Big Brother Wu, I hope this case doesnt cause you too much trouble. Wu Ze pondered for some time. He said, Chenyan, its impossible for me to prove that the used is innocent! Yes, I understand. The best result we can hope for is a lighter sentence with a decrease in his jail time by a few years. Perhaps we can avoid the death penalty as well. Wu Zes tone turned serious as he continued to speak. However, Yuan Tangzhong wont let Zheng Shuyan off easily. After all, he murdered the only sessor of the Yuan Familys second son! This was also the issue that worried Mu Chenyan the most. Big Brother Wu, Ill leave this to you. Please do what you think is best! Dont worry. If this case was too difficult for me, no one else in Luo Hai would be able to handle it. Ill do everything I can to help you. Its just that, will the pressure of the Yuan Family be too much for you? Yuan Xuan will help me! Wu Ze chuckled when he heard that and let out a sigh. When did Third Young Master Yuan turn into his wifes ve? Mu Chenyan was slightly embarrassed when he said this. She thought of Wen Ya when she hung up. She wanted to keep her in the loop to prevent her from getting worried. Wen Ya was still staying in Upper Mansion. Aside from Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tian, the other members of the Yuan Family knew nothing about the rtionship between Wen Ya and Zheng Shuyan. The Yuan Familys reaction waspletely different from Wen Yas when they discovered that the killer had surrendered himself. Mu Chenyan did not want to see the Old Mistress. She texted Wen Ya and told her toe to the garden between Upper Mansion and Hibiscus Garden. It was the beginning of autumn. The leaves in the garden had turned a splendid color. Mu Chenyan wore a coffee-colored fluffy woolen sweater and waited near the colorful red and yellow leaves. Wen Ya was dressed in a white sweater. Herplexion was getting more and more pallid. Attorney Wu has agreed to take on the case. Mu Chenyan led Wen Ya to a bench and sat down. Wen Ya was so touched that she burst into tears all of a sudden. Chenyan, Im greatly indebted to you for this... You dont have to thank me, Wen Ya. After all, we dont know the final verdict yet. Youre staying with the Yuan Family. Its good that they havent discovered the link between you and Zheng Shuyan for now. This will prevent more problems from popping up! Wen Ya nodded. Except for Qinger. Shes asked me so many questions about the case recently. She seems so interested! A dull pain throbbed in Mu Chenyans heart when Shu Qinger was mentioned. She furrowed her eyebrows and the corners of her lips curled downward. Try your best to avoid her. Shes evil! Mu Chenyan had a terrible impression of Shu Qinger. She recalled how Shu Qinger had manipted Xia Tao and attempted to get rid of her and Su Qingcheng in C City. She had even nned to kill Liang Zihan for revenge. Shu Qinger was gradually bing a permanent member of the Yuan household now. Mu Chenyan realized that Shu Qinger was rotten to the core when that woman tried to push her into the pond. Yes, I know. But I realized that she had really changed when she returned this time. A doubtful look shed in the depths of Wen Yas eyes. Mu Chenyan had wanted to say that the Shu Qinger they had interacted with in the past was just a fake personality she created to trick everyone in the past. To tell the truth, she had always been like this. However, she quickly changed her mind. After all, this matter did not have anything to do with Wen Ya. Chenyan, you should still be wary of Qinger though... Wen Ya hesitated for a moment. Her hesitation indicated that she had something else in mind. Mu Chenyan could sense a hint of uncertainty in Wen Yas wavering gaze. Dont worry, I trust Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan said firmly. She had never considered Shu Qinger as a rival because of her faith in Yuan Xuan. Wen Ya nodded. You may say that, but... She could not bring herself to continue. If Mu Chenyan trusted Yuan Xuan so much... Wen Ya, tell me what you heard! Mu Chenyan had a bad feeling about this. Before Yuan Zhes murder, the Old Mistress had thought about getting Yuan Xuan to file a divorce with you... Wen Ya stopped halfway and observed Mu Chenyans expression. Mu Chenyans heart dropped when she heard this. She pursed her lips, but her gaze was empty. The Old Mistress has disliked me for a long time. She didnt know that Qinger was alive then, so she could never force her grandson to marry a woman who had a heart transnt. But everything changed when she found out that the woman was Qinger. Naturally, shes not going to let that opportunity pass now! Wen Ya heaved a sigh. She continued, The Old Mistress is just being silly. You and Yuan Xuan are a match made in heaven. Why is she meddling with your rtionship? The Old Mistress single-handedly raised Qinger, and Yuan Xuan happened to be there at that time as well. They kept herpany ever since they were children. Watching them grow up together gave the Old Mistress an idea. She wanted them to marry each other in the future so that they would remain with her. Mu Chenyan sneered coldly. But Yuan Xuan focused his attention on me after we met each other. The Old Mistress couldnt bear that her rtionship with Yuan Xuan was now strained! Wen Ya noticed that Mu Chenyan had analyzed this with a rational mind. She was highly in awe of her intellect. The Old Mistress has mentioned this numerous times since I had moved into Upper Mansion. Youve probably guessed the reason as well. Wen Ya sighed after saying that. I never gave birth to any children despite being married to Yuan Zhe for several years. Now that devil has been punished for his crimes... A few days ago, the Old Mistress told Yuan Xuan that the Yuan Family line might end if they didnt hear any good news from you soon! Mu Chenyan could imagine the scene when she heard Wen Yas description. She simply sneered. However, she could not confess to Wen Ya that she was secretly using birth control pills all along. What did Yuan Xuan say? Mu Chenyan valued Yuan Xuans opinion highly. Wen Ya thought that it would be better to lie, but she was worried for Mu Chenyans future. Yuan Xuan merely said that hed wait and see... Mu Chenyans heart sank. She had initially assumed that it did not matter whether she had a child with Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan thought that Yuan Xuan would simply tell the Old Mistress that he would always stay loyal to her. Apparently, he had yet to make up his mind! She felt a stabbing pain in her heart. His tender affections toward her instantly turned into insults. Their lovemaking sessions every night were nothing but missions that needed to be aplished now... Mu Chenyans expression darkened. Wen Ya realized that she had been saying more than she needed. Chenyan, dont let this bother you. I was merely reminding you to be prepared for everything! Our circumstances arepletely different. Yuan Zhe and I never loved each other. Now that hes dead, I have no choice but to leave the Yuan household. I dont belong here and I dont n on taking anything with me. Wen Ya held Mu Chenyans hands as she spoke. Her words were undeniably sincere. Dont act rashly. Your mother is still in the hospital. Make sure that you have an edge over the Yuan Family in case they decide to treat you cruelly in the future! Do you understand? Chapter 315 - Old Wounds Reopened When Enemies Met Again

Chapter 315: Old Wounds Reopened When Enemies Met Again

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya held Mu Chenyans hands as she spoke. Her words were undeniably sincere. Dont act rashly. Your mother is still in the hospital. Make sure that you have an edge over the Yuan Family in case they decide to treat you cruelly in the future! Do you understand? Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya wanted the best for her. However, she was still a prideful woman. How could she ept anything from the Yuan Family if that day evere? Dont worry, Ill definitely find a way to take care of myself if I leave! This thought had crossed Mu Chenyans mind before. Nheless, she knew that she could support herself by working as a frence reporter. Her ability to speak French fluently would also be an added advantage. Mu Chenyan pitied Yuan Xuan now. This mans backyard had never been peaceful... * Liu Li Vi... It was already the beginning of autumn. Fruity fragrances wafted around the old manor. It was a beautiful sight. If Shen Muqius men were not stationed here, Yuan Xuan would have brought his little glutton along from home so that they could stay here for a few days. However, Yuan Xuan had brought someone else with him this time. This was the first time that Shao Yibai crossed paths with Shen Muqiu at Liu Li Vi since thetter returned from abroad. The scene became chaotic when the three men were together. There was clearly an unwanted third party here. Shen Muqiu had fled with his remaining family members after the Shen Family was defeated. They wandered about the borders of the underworld. Within a few years, the sessor of the Shen n managed to broaden his influence. He emerged swiftly as a new and influential figure among the underground forces in the Southeast Region. This troubled the opposing side. Shao Yibai had previously led his troops to ambush Shen Muqius subordinates in the Southeast Region. This happened when Shao Yibai was serving in the special forces. Shen Muqiu suffered terrible losses that time. He also failed to retrieve the remains of his fallenrades from Shao Yibai. This happened before Shen Muqiu transferred his forces. It was one of his few local operations. After that, Europe became his main battleground once he shifted his activities there. Old wounds reopened when enemies met again. These two men would have probably attacked each other at first nce if Yuan Xuan was not here. Mr Shao, I hope that youve been well since ourst meeting! When Shen Muqiu thought of his fallenrades, the scar on his face that was formed by a knife wound became more obvious. The attractive man had a bloodthirsty aura about him. He red at Shao Yibai and clenched both of his fists! Shao Yibais expression sank when he noticed Shen Muqius raging and murderous intent. Mr. Shen, Ive been quite well. Thank you for your blessings. Then Mr. Shao, do you still remember my brothers who had died by your bullets? Shen Muqius eyes were bloodshot. These two men were almost the same height. Electricity surged between them when their gazes met. I was merely serving the nation bypleting my mission. Ive retired now. You already know who you should be looking for if youre seeking revenge! Shao Yibai appeared rather listless when he spoke. His demeanor angered Shen Muqiu. The man lifted Shao Yibai by his cor. He roared, Theres a perpetrator behind every injustice. I should take my revenge on you now while youre right in front of me! Shao Yibai responded by behaving like the spoiled arrogant Young Master of Capital City. Shen Muqiu, do you think Im afraid of you? Why are you staring at me with those cowbell-sized eyes? Are you going to get your revenge? Come on, show me what youve got! He effortlessly grabbed Shen Muqius wrist and pulled him toward himself. He wanted to flip Shen Muqiu over while only using a small amount of force. Shen Muqiu was quick to respond as well. He had already used his legs to steady himself before Shao Yibai could restrict his movements... The two men began to throw punches at one another. A serious brawl had broken out between them within three minutes of their encounter... Ming Yang and Tian Qi were both worried that their bosses would be defeated. They were itching to have a go at it as well. They eyed each other before these two men decided that they should also fight! A scuffle broke out between Ming Yang and Tian Qi too... Yuan Xuan was thirsty just now, but the Bi Luo Chun green tea that Sister Liu brewed was still steaming. A satisfied look appeared on the mans face while he sipped his tea. He sat at the tea table on the veranda and looked at the other four people fighting! Not bad. Shen Muqiu, pay attention to your left... Shao Yibai, aim downward when youre hitting him... Ming Yang, dont even think about using those dirty tricks! Tian Qi is an honest opponent. Tian Qi, youre not supposed to hit your opponents face during a fight. What have I taught you... Third Young Master Yuan was being unhelpful and extremely judgemental! Wounds quickly appeared on the faces of all four men. Shao Yibai had an advantage when it came to fistfighting because he had experienced numerous battles. His physique was also clearly superior. Meanwhile, Shen Muqiu looked more savage now. There were more wounds on his face in addition to the original scar on the left side. He spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, F*ck. Why did you bring him here, Yuan Xuan? How dare you drink my tea without helping me? Cant you see how badly Ive been beaten? Frankly, Shao Yibai was not in much better shape. His windbreaker now resembled a pile of torn rags on his body while his chin was slightly swollen. The faintest touch would result in throbbing pain. He straightened his body and drew his lips back before rubbing his chin. His temper red up when he narrowed his eyes and saw the carefree look on Yuan Xuans face. Damn, I cant believe that I was beaten up right away when I followed you here. I didnt even get anything to eat or drink. Why do you look so f*cking happy? Young Master, that was really mean... This was almost too much for the honest and simple-minded Tian Qi to handle. He wiped the traces of blood off the corners of his mouth. This blockhead who was used to listening to orders did not dare to look Yuan Xuan in the eye. Nheless, he had voiced his thoughts. Aside from Ming Yang, the men who fought earlier had their attention on Yuan Xuan now. They had finally found amon goal. Yuan Xuan lifted his teacup and narrowed his eyes. He sipped his tea. Youre all finally united! I thought that youd only let this matter rest once youd fought each other to death. Yuan Xuan, I respect you. Otherwise, I wouldve beaten him to a pulp today... Shen Muqiu sighed. He furiously spat those words out before he returned to the vi to change his clothes. Hmph, as if! Shao Yibai was unconvinced. He sat right next to Yuan Xuan when he saw that Shen Muqiu had left. He snatched the teapot from Yuan Xuan and poured a cup of tea for Tian Qi and himself. He was terribly thirsty after the fight. Mr. Shao was not the slightest bit concerned about elegance and merely gulped down the tea. Shen Muqiu came out of the vi in a short while once he had changed his clothes. He was dressed in sporty gray-colored casual wear while band-aids were stuck all over his forehead. Nheless, he still looked attractive. On the contrary, Shao Yibai looked terrible. This made Shen Muqiu feel slightly better. Why did you bring him here? Shen Muqiu could not understand why Yuan Xuan brought Shao Yibai to Liu Li Vi without even telling him. Shao Yibai snorted, You make it seem like I wanted toe. If I knew that you treated your guests like this, I wouldve stayed far away even if you invited me! Yuan Xuans dark eyes werepletely emotionless. He red at the two men who were abined age of fifty as they argued back and forth. I invited both of you here for a meeting! Yuan Xuan said indifferently. Hmph! Hmph! Both men indicated their disdain for each other at the same time. Yuan Xuan ignored them. He pressed his palms together and ced them in front of his forehead. He continued, Mu Feng might still be alive! Shen Muqiu and Shao Yibai were not surprised by this. Shen Muqius men have had conflicts with Mu Chenwu already. They realized that an army veteran must have helped this loafer n his military tactics in the mountainous regions. Shen Muqiu immediately suspected that someone else was there with Mu Chenwu. This person was definitely a master of mountain and jungle warfare. Mu Feng, who had fought with him in the past, was the one who thought of all the military tactics. Chapter 316 - So Much for His Germophobia

Chapter 316: So Much for His Germophobia

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What has he been up to? asked Shao Yibai. Mu Chenwus subordinates ambushed Sheng Yu Hospital two days ago. They attempted to kidnap Mrs. Mu. This was probably part of Mu Fengs n to use Mrs. Mu to trap Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuans gaze turned piercingly cold when he mentioned Mu Chenyan. That woman could never think straight when her family is involved. Im worried that Mu Feng might manipte her when the timees. We must ensure her safety before weunch our attack! Shen Muqiu sneered, Ill agree to help you, but you already know my conditions! Yuan Xuan knew that Shen Muqiu lived on the edge. He had gotten used to Shen Muqius penchant for setting conditions for everything long ago. After all, he had known him for many years. Yuan Tian isnt a little girl anymore. She can make her own decisions! Yuan Xuans tone was cold. Shen Muqiu was being very straightforward about his goal, but Yuan Xuan hated it when others tried to pressure him. Nheless, he knew that Shen Muqiu had a reason for helping him in Ennd despite the difficult circumstances that they were facing in the past. Now that Shen Muqiu had returned, he knew that it was impossible for him to hide from this any longer. Alright, its settled. You have your woman, so I want mine. You cant interfere when Yuan Tian makes her decisionter. Shen Muqius gaze was dark and cunning. Shao Yibai knew that Shen Muqiu had a goal in mind, but he was unaware that this devil was carrying a torch for Yuan Xuans younger sister. Shao Yibai looked on in disgust at the mans savage behavior. Shameless! Shao Yibai snorted. I could destroy the remaining members of the Mu Family without your forces... Shen Muqiu huffed when he heard Shao Yibais remark. Do you really think that we could just depend on you? Youre merely a soldier! Damn! I nearly shot you to death. Do you really think that you should beughing at a soldier like me? I shouldve gotten rid of you then and there. I allowed a scumbag like you to escape but youre just spewing nonsense everywhere! Shao Yibai could not stand to look at Shen Muqius face. He abandoned his poise and focused on personal attacks instead. It was happening again! Yuan Xuan was terribly worried. Mr. Shao should have minded his words before he called Shen Muqiu a scumbag. Why would Yuan Xuan ask a scumbag to fight for him... Yuan Xuan waved his hands to calm Shao Yibai down. Youre a righteous man. However, we cant just rely on yourwful connections if were nning to destroy someone like Mu Feng. Shen Muqius forces arent based locally, so he can leave right away once everything is over. We wont have to worry about any problems in the future! Shen Muqiu was extremely pleased. He raised his eyebrows at Shao Yibai. He was implying that people like Shao Yibai were clearly useless because they followed the established rules strictly. Meanwhile, Shen Muqiu was free to do whatever he liked... What am I going to do then? Shao Yibai wiped the traces of blood off the corners of his lips with his hand. Dont tell me that Im supposed to protect your Little Chenyan! Well leave Little Chenyan to Su Qingcheng! Yuan Xuan smiled. But Ill need you to make the arrangements for it. Shao Yibai was quite pleased with this task. It seemed like he finally had a proper reason to approach Su Qingcheng now... Also, Yuan Tangzhong will be my target for now. He recalled that Yuan Tangzhong and Mu Feng had worked together for many years. Yuan Xuan had to get rid of Yuan Tangzhong before his connections grew evenrger than it was now. He would encounter serious problems down the line if he was badly wounded. You have to inform Old Master Shao about this soon. Yuan Tangzhongs forces in Capital City must be wiped out before our operation starts. My men in Capital City will work together with Old Master Shao. Yuan Xuan gazed into the distance as he spoke. Im not going to give him a chance to escape. Shao Yibai nodded. He was burdened with a difficult task now. He was unsure whether his old mans forces would be sufficient. If they were not up to the mark, he would need to return to Capital City to assist them personally. In other words, Luo Hai will face a drastic change soon. Shao Yibai sneered, Ive always loved a good fight. However, the stakes are certainly higher this time. We have to think this over properly. Shen Muqiu thought about it for a moment when he heard that. He asked, Have you decided on a time and ce to carry out this operation? Well do it after the Yuan Familys Mid-Autumn Festival banquet! Yuan Xuan replied without any hesitation. His murky eyes were fixed on the nearby scenery. The cold autumn breeze blew, but a thunderstorm wasing! * Zheng Shuyans case was basically settled. The drugs discovered in the sugar cubes were an exact match to the ones that had used to poison Yuan Zhe. The suspects confession corresponded with the evidence as well. It was just that Zheng Shuyans surrender seemed too much like a coincidence. There was an indescribable yet conflicting feeling in Wu Huais heart. The final matter was to transfer this case to the judicial authorities for them to press charges. This case would be rather tricky to handle because Yuan Tangzhong was breathing heavily down their necks. Nheless, the staff of the major crimes department could finally rx now that they hadpleted their task. Captain Wu, you should take us out for a treat! Little Jiang had always been one of the livelier members of the team. When could they ask the captain for a reward if not now? Wu Huai also felt that it would be alright to go out and have a little celebration. After all, everyone had worked hard these past few days. Alright, its my treat! When his face Wu Huai softened and he spoke in a gentle voice, everyone realized that he was actually an extremely kind and good looking man... The staff of the major crimes department invited Zhang Xin and Mu Chenyan as well. Su Qingcheng would also be there to keep Mu Chenyanpany. They ate at a hot pot restaurant first before someone suggested to go to a karaoke bar. Wu Huai agreed at once. He seemed to be in a good mood today. Everyone cheered. Wu Huai decided to sing in front of everyone for the first time that night. Nothing was more exciting or touching than that. He sang Back From Target Shooting Practice, Green Flower of the Army, and We Soldiers... The crowd was speechless. Wu Huai had chosen some oldies, but he sang them beautifully. Everyone unanimously agreed that Captain Wus talents were wasted in the criminal police department. He should have been a singer instead... The members of the criminal police force who were usually serious and restrained had grown sluggish and rxed once they had sung and drank merrily. They shouted and pumped their fists. The lively atmosphere was filled with the sound of happy chatter. Mu Chenyan was secretly troubled by this. After all, this joyous asion was only happening because Zheng Shuyan was arrested. Her mind was burdened, and she had a hard time breathing because of the smoke. She decided to go outside for some fresh air. This was the biggest and most upscale venue in Luo Hai. She could tell that Wu Huai came from an influential background. He had chosen the best ce to take his guests out for a treat. Mu Chenyan walked along the corridor before she found a quiet corner in the venue and leaned against the wall. There was a transparent French window that allowed her to look down at Luo Hais bustling, brightly-lit nightscape from above. Leave me alone... Mu Chenyan returned to her senses when a familiar female voice echoed along the long corridor behind her. A woman was stumbling along in the dark. She seemed rather tipsy. Why are you disturbing me... You have your Little Chenyan... I know that you dont care about me... Am I right? Grandmother said... She wants you to divorce her... You can marry me once youve left her... Shu Qinger sobbed quietly. She cried as she desperately hit the man who was trying to hold her. Mu Chenyan felt as though her heart had dropped into an icy hole when she recognized the man... Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows. His expression was obscured in the dim light, but the contours of his face could be seen clearly. Shu Qinger wailed and kicked up a big fuss. Her slightly torn clothes made her a pitiful sight. It seemed like she had ripped it on purpose. She sounded miserable when she said, Youre lying... Why did you save me... Dont you feel like youre indebted to me now... Mu Chenyan could not understand what she was rambling about. Her head was only filled with the sweet nothings that Yuan Xuan whispered in her ear during one of their happier moments. Little Chenyan, I suffer from germophobia but... Im obsessed with your body. Its the only thing that Ill never reject... I cant get enough of you... That irritating man was actually making an exception now. He picked up the troublesome woman up and carried her toward the elevator... So much for his germophobia! Chapter 317 - Yuan Xuan Flew into a Rage

Chapter 317: Yuan Xuan Flew into a Rage

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun could see Yuan Xuans gloomy expression through the rearview mirror. He was still carrying Miss Qinger. Yan Jun jumped out of the car right away and opened the door. Yuan Xuan carried Shu Qinger to the car and stuffed her in the backseat. He sighed in relief. This woman had put up a strong fight earlier. He was gasping for breath now. Yan Jun was too afraid to ask any questions. He watched his boss remove his wrinkled suit jacket before throwing it in a nearby trash can. He understood then that Yuan Xuans germophobia was acting up again. That piece of clothing waspletely useless to Yuan Xuan now. It was covered in snot and tears. Judging from Yuan Xuans temper, Yan Jun knew that he could not stand situations like these. However, what Yan Jun did not know was that Yuan Xuans shirt was once covered in snot and tears as well when Mu Chenyan was dazed with the fever... The other woman was still sobbing in the car. Her wails were getting louder and louder. Yuan Xuan... Youre a terrible person... Youve forgotten everything... If it wasnt for me... You wouldve died in Ennd long ago... Yuan Xuan narrowed his eyes. The handsome man leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette. He had unbuttoned the two buttons near the cor of his white shirt, exposing his seductive corbone, muscles, and tanned skin. His body waspletely wless. One could tell that Yuan Xuan was in a bad mood. The arrogant aristocrat was seething with rage. Shu Qingers shrieks was making his solemn expression all the more ominous! He hated being indebted to others, but it hated it more when they tried to guilt-trip him! Yan Jun was too afraid to make any remarks. Yuan Xuan attended a dinner party right after he left the office. He had rushed here with his staff when he received a phone call during the banquet. He walked out of the club with Miss Qinger in his arms in less than half an hour. Yuan Xuan smoked for a while. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the entrance to the club. Several momentster, a group of men charged outside. Tian Qi led the way while the rest trailed behind him. Each of his subordinates was restraining another man in their arms. Yuan Xuan threw the cigarette butt away when he saw them. It seemed like a dark cloud had shrouded his face. These men were beaten ck and blue. Shivers ran down their spines when they recognized that this demonic man was actually Yuan Xuan. They copsed on the ground and wailed pitifully. Third Young Master Yuan, we didnt know that this chick was one of yours... We wouldnt haveid a finger on your woman if wed known earlier. Wed never be brave enough to do that! Yuan Xuan remained silent. His cold eyes scanned across the four trembling men on the ground without saying a word. A foolish chubby man with a greasy face rushed over and grabbed the bottom of Yuan Xuans pants. Third Young Master, weve suffered enough beatings. Please let us go this time... Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the mans fat hand tugging at him. He simply raised his foot and kicked him without a second thought. The man held his chest after being kicked two meters away. He gasped for breath because of the pain. Almost a minuteter, the man sighed quietly once he had caught his breath. His face was a ghastly purplish shade now. The others feared for their lives after witnessing this. They were so scared that they took several steps backward. They were too afraid to step forward and provoke this godlike man. They could not stop shivering despite the one-meter distance between them and Yuan Xuan. Were in trouble. Were in big trouble! they murmured. Yuan Xuan took another box of cigarettes out of his pocket. He lit one and took a puff. His expression was abnormally serene when he exhaled ring after ring of smoke. Suddenly, he muttered, Get rid of them. Theyrepletely useless. After all, all they do is harm women! Yuan Xuan was enraged! His chivalrous aura was still present, and he still resembled a fine gentleman, but Yuan Xuan could not conceal the murderous intent in his bones anymore. The men gaped with their mouths open when they heard this. Everyone was too afraid to breathe! Tian Qi came over and was prepared to execute his orders. Third Young Master, have mercy! One of the men finally returned to his senses and responded. The other two men simultaneously kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy. The youngdy was very friendly when we went to her gallery in the afternoon to buy some art. We bought numerous paintings from her because she was so beautiful. After that, we simply took the opportunity to invite her for a meal... She didnt reject us. We were tempted to go further when we noticed that we had a chance with her, but you arrived before we could even do anything. We merely touched her a few times... Have mercy on us, Third Young Master... If you beat us up again... Well beughing stocks in Luo Hai... The three men interrupted each other when they spoke. Meanwhile, the chubby man was too afraid to even step forward. He was so frightened that he wetted himself... Yan Jun stood on the sidelines and heard everything. He finally understood that it was Miss Qinger who had called his boss to save her when the men harassed her. The memory of Qinger being raped in Ennd was ingrained in Yuan Xuans mind. Yuan Xuan raced here when he heard Qingers pitiful sobs through the phone. He saw that Qingers clothes were torn while several men had their hands all over her. The familiar scene from the past was being recreated right before his eyes. Yuan Xuan felt his blood rushing straight to his head! He snatched Qinger from them and left the rest to his bodyguards. Tian Qi got rid of these scumbags in a sh before he dragged them away with the help of the other bodyguards. Yuan Xuans anger had yet to be released. He discarded the cigarette butt once he had finished smoking. The corners of his lips curled downward while the murderous look in his eyes remained unchanged. It seems like you guys like women a lot. The men had no idea what Yuan Xuan meant. Their intense fear kept them from responding. They merely trembled as though their legs had turned into mud. Yuan Xuan shot a nce at Yan Jun. He instructed coldly, This club provides a special drug. Go and tell the boss, Mr. Wu, that I brought some guests today. Get a few youngdies to apany our important guests and bring them inside for a fun night! Yan Jun said a prayer for the men after hearing this. They were not going to be beaten up any further, but their bodies would definitely be ruined by the end of the night. Yan Jun would never dare to defy Yuan Xuans orders. He looked at the men and guessed that they were probably headhunters or executives that worked in the smallerpanies in Luo Hai. They had no one to me but themselves for trying to take advantage of a member of the Yuan Family. The men sighed in relief. They assumed that they were safe. However, only fate could tell what would happen to them after they took the drugter. Tian Qi enlisted the help of others to drag these limp bodies back into the club. Meanwhile, Yan Jun went over to speak to Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu clearly recognized these men as his frequent customers. Unfortunately, he knew that they were in deep trouble today. It was bad enough to offend a member of the Yuan Family, but nothing was worse than angering Yuan Xuan. Mr. Wu said a silent prayer for them as well. Mr. Wu was not a model citizen in any way. However, he had always gotten his priorities straight. It was pointless for him to offend Yuan Xuan for the sake of a few frequent customers. He told his staff to feed these weaklings some powerful aphrodisiacs. After that, he sent several prostitutes over to their rooms. This experience was usually a pleasant one, but it was terribly painful now. The effects of these aphrodisiacs wouldst the entire night until the next morning. Their members would certainly have trouble waking up again in the future... Yuan Xuan smoked another cigarette outside his car. He had broken his vow to quit smoking tonight. The smell of smoke now lingered all over his body. He thought of the woman at home and wondered what was bothering her. Yuan Xuan looked at his watch and noticed that it was almost eight oclock. He called home. Has the Mistress returned? Not yet! Ah Fu replied cautiously. She had assumed that the Young Master had taken his wife out since both of them had yet to return tonight. Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows and hung up. He called Mu Chenyans cell phone number. He heard the familiar and unchanging message that went, Sorry, the number youve dialed is currently unavable... Chapter 318 - A Picky Rabbit

Chapter 318: A Picky Rabbit

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan was stunned. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed while the gloomy expression on his face grew more intense. It felt as though a heavy rock had crushed his heart. He dialed Wu Huais number. The other line was filled with noisy conversations. Wu Huai sounded slightly confused and tipsy. Is that Third Young Master Yuan? Your wife? She just walked out the back door of the Golden Age Club... Crap! Yuan Xuan raised his head and noticed the dazzling neon lights that spelled the words Golden Age above him. A series of doubts drifted through his mind... He was unaware that Wu Huai had invited his guests to Golden Age tonight. He would definitely have taken Little Chenyan home if he had known about this. Who did she leave with? Yuan Xuan asked calmly. I think she left with Su Qingcheng. You could call Little Su and ask her if you want... Yuan Xuan was faintly reassured when he heard that she was with Su Qingcheng. He called Shao Yibai first and exined the situation to him. After that, he asked for Su Qingchengs address. His wife had turned off her phone despite leaving with someone else in the middle of the night. Was she nning to stay out all night? * Mu Chenyan tossed and turned in bed. She felt as though she was being tortured to death by the alcohol in her stomach. She wondered why she had drunk so much on impulse. She felt worse now than the previous time when she ate the spicy m cuisine in C City. Her stomach churned while her head throbbed as though her skull was about to crack. Her mind was filled with the sound of her own pitiful wails... Su Qingcheng brought Mu Chenyan some hot water to clean her face and poured some water for Mu Chenyan to drink. This woman was at a loss of what to do because she had never taken care of a drunk person before. She would never have brought Yuan Xuans wife back to her own home if Mu Chenyan had not cried and kicked up a huge fuss earlier. Mu Chenyan firmly refused to return to the Yuan household. Su Qingcheng rented a ce in one of the densely-packed but upscale apartmentplexes on Han City Road. It contained two halls and two bedrooms. The apartment was furnished with expensive furniture and kitchen and bathroom tools. The apartment was clean and tidy. The number of rooms suited her fine because she did not usually get visitors. However, the presence of an additional person stressed Su Qingcheng out. She had to sleep in the living room because there were no extra beds for her to use. Miss Su, is your friend drunk? Aunty Zhang, the nanny, asked quietly from the other bedroom. Su Qingcheng nodded and nced toward the bedroom behind Aunty Zhang. She lowered her voice and asked, Is An An asleep? He fell asleep a long time ago, but he was asking to see his mother before he finally dozed off! An An can sleep at my ce since your friend is here tonight. Thatll make it easier for you to take care of your friend! Aunty Zhang was nearly fifty years old. She had worked as a live-in nanny for numerous households. She was the first nanny that Su Qingcheng found when she brought her four-year-old son to Luo Hai. They were now as close as rtives after all that time they had spent together. Su Qingcheng was extremely grateful. Thank you! Aunty Zhang, is there any way to make her feel better? Su Qingcheng guessed that Mu Chenyan was suffering when she saw her tossing about and ripping at her clothes. She had no idea why Mu Chenyan suddenly looked so upset when she returned from her walk. She finished half a bottle of red wine before she gulping down two bottles of beer. Aunty Zhang pondered and said, Get her to throw up first. Next, give her some water mixed with honey and see if it works! Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan to stand up and helped her get to the bathroom. Aunty Zhang assisted her as she tried to make Mu Chenyan vomit. When Mu Chenyan recalled this incident in the future, she felt as though Su Qingcheng had saved her life again... Mu Chenyans stomach felt slightly better once she had thrown up. Her head was still throbbing and her heart seemed to be thumping wilder and wilder. Mu Chenyan clearly had a low tolerance for alcohol. She was also terribly annoying when she was drunk. Brother Xuan, feed me! I want Brother Xuan to feed me... Aunty Zhang mixed some honey with water and passed it to Su Qingcheng. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan panicked when she saw the liquid in the cup. She wanted Brother Xuan to feed her so that they could take turns drinking mouthfuls of it. That would allow her to drink less of the concoction as well. She had mistaken the honey and water for medicine! Your Brother Xuan isnt here. Do you want me to send you back to Hibiscus Garden? Su Qingcheng never thought that Mu Chenyan would behave in such a childlike manner when she was drunk. She was usually cold and indifferent. Mu Chenyan hid under the nket. She looked at Su Qingcheng with her big bright eyes before she burst outughing. Dont lie to me. Yuan Xuan doesnt want me anymore so he chased me out. Why would he let you send me back to that zoo? Ill be eaten by the tigers in the zoo! After all, Im such a cute little white rabbit! Mu Chenyan nodded enthusiastically. Fear seeped through her gaze. This little rabbit was truly afraid when she thought of the tigers! Huh... What did she mean by the zoo? I wont send you to the zoo, but you have to be a good girl and drink this honey drink. Ill let you eat the freshest green grass! Su Qingcheng was forced to coax her. After all, it was impossible to speak logically to a drunk person. I want carrots. I dont eat grass! Mu Chenyan was behaving like a spoiled child. This rabbit has never liked eating grass. I only like carrots... Damn! She was a picky rabbit... Yes, carrots. Lots of them! Su Qingcheng forced Mu Chenyan to take a few sips of the beverage. Shao Yibai had taken care of her when she had previously gotten drunk. She wondered if she had also acted like an adorable fool. However, Shao Yibai had also taken advantage of her during those moments besides simply taking care of her. When Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans drunken behavior, she swore to herself that she would never get intoxicated ever again! Mu Chenyan finally dozed off after tossing about for half an hour. Su Qingcheng sighed in relief. She looked at her watch and realized that it was already past nine oclock. She had informed Wu Huai about this when she arrived home, but she forgot to inform the Yuan Family because she was too busy. They were unaware that she had kidnapped the Third Young Mistress. Su Qingcheng decided to call Yuan Xuan when she returned to her senses. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. Aunty Zhang threw on more clothes before she opened the door and went outside. Her voice echoed through the doorway. Sir, its sote. Why are you here again? Miss Su said that she doesnt want to see you... Su Qingcheng immediately realized that it was Shao Yibai from Aunty Zhangs tone! When he came around previously, Su Qingcheng told Aunty Zhang that she could never let him in. This man was an uninvited guest. In the beginning, Aunty Zhang did not want to treat him rudely. Although he was terribly stubborn, he was also a humble and polite gentleman. He never caused a ruckus when whenever he came over but merely stood at the doorway and waited. He would neither leave nor force his way inside. Fortunately, he only came over when An An was away at preschool. Otherwise, this child would definitely be frightened if he saw him. Aunty Zhang, Im here to take my friends wife home! Shao Yibai thought that Su Qingcheng was a brave woman because she brought Third Young Master Yuans wife home with her without even informing him. He was not surprised that Yuan Xuan sent him upstairs to get his wife while he waited downstairs with a dark expression. Su Qingcheng let her guard down when she heard that he was here for Mu Chenyan. She turned to Aunty Zhang and said, Let him in! Shao Yibai was secretly pleased. He had visited this apartment numerous times but this was the first time Su Qingcheng allowed him toe inside. However, he never aggravated her. He merely waited outside at the entrance when she refused to let him in. Frankly, he only wanted to catch a glimpse of her. Even if he was denied entry, his heart would be consoled as long as he got to see her. How did the ace of the special forces be such a pathetic man? He had no idea! The interior was decorated cozily. Shao Yibai had previously sent someone to investigate this expensive apartment. He discovered that it was owned by Li Ji, the son of Bureau Chief Li from the publicity bureau. Chapter 319 - Mom, What Are You All Doing?

Chapter 319: Mom, What Are You All Doing?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai had never asked what the rtionship between Su Qingcheng and Li Ji was. To be exact, he made nothing of him. He watched Su Qingcheng came out of the bedroom in pink homewear. Her cheeks were ruddy in color, and those plump, red lips of hers were dazzling and alluring. Shao Yibais Adams apple bobbed a little. He had not kissed her lips for a long time. In fact, that taste was not something he could abstain from. Mu Chenyan drank too much and is now asleep. Su Qingchengs said inly and looked away, not wanting to meet his gaze. How about you ask Yuan Xuan to let her sleepover tonight. Tomorrow Ill bring her back! Shao Yibai thought about it for a moment. Without a wife by his side for one night, it should not be unbearable to the point of death for Yuan Xuan, would it? After all, he had never... Its rather cozy here. Looking around, Shao Yibai struck up a conversation. This was the first time he coulde inside, so he was piqued. Su Qingcheng knew that although Shao Yibai usually looked unruly and unrestrained, he was extremely well-mannered. Every time he dropped by, even though Aunty Zhang treated him coldly, he would still respond politely and had never once barged inside. This is my friends ce. When I earn enough, Ill get a small apartment... Li Jis? It suddenly urred to Shao Yibai that Su Qingcheng might have received much help from Li Ji upon her arrival at Luo Hai. After all, he had not only provided her with lodging but also a nanny. Why did it look like he was keeping a mistress in a golden house 1? If that was the case, then this golden house was somewhat shabby-looking. Shao Yibai felt a tinge of jealousy. That Li Ji seemed like a gentleman. He was rather handsome, young and talented. Su Qingcheng could not be falling for this kind of man, could she? Hearing Shao Yibai mentioning Li Ji and upon noticing his questioning gaze, she felt a little ufortable. Since thest time they had a substantive rtionship at the Spring Hotel, she had told him that she did not want to be associated with him and wanted to cut ties with him. She had been evading him, so this was one of the few long talks they were having. Li Jis a friend of mine. What kind of friend? Shao Yibai blurted out but instantly felt ridiculous of himself. Why should he even consider that Li Ji? Would he, Shao Yibai, be jealous of that kind of person? What a joke! Ordinary friends! Su Qingcheng was getting impatient. She looked at her watch. It was already 10 oclock. If this man would not leave, she could not go to bed. Her gaze fell on the door, and Su Qingcheng gave the order for him to leave. If theres nothing else, Id like to rest now. Kiss me! Shao Yibai put up a brazen manner, his eyes swirling with emotions. I wont leave until youve kissed me! You... Su Qingcheng bit her lips. How shameless you are! And uncouth too! Shao Yibais tone was full of ridicule, and his tall and strong body pressed over. Su Qingcheng retreated in fear. Mu Chenyan was sleeping in the bedroom behind her. In the other bedroom, Aunty Zhang and An An were also sleeping soundly. There was no way she could fight him. Seeing Shao Yibais unrelenting gaze, Su Qingcheng surrendered. Just a brief one! Alright! Standing on tiptoes, Su Qingcheng lightly pecked his lips. Although it was only for a short moment, she could already feel them burning. Miss Su calls this a kiss? Shao Yibai was somewhat irritated. What do you want then? Su Qingcheng pushed him away to make him leave. No way. That can only count as the dessert before dinner! Shao Yibai spoke and ced his arm around Su Qingchengs waist. Let me teach you! Mhmm... Before Su Qingcheng could refuse, her lips were firmly shackled by him, and the tip of his tongue barged in without any warning. Her little hands clutched the fabric at his waist tightly, and her whole body shuddered non-stop. She bore his unreasonable encroachment, feeling his warmth and that domineering aura... The moment she felt the changes in his body, Su Qingcheng was frightened and hurriedly pushed him away. Shao Yibai grabbed her trembling little hands. He ced them on it and whispered into her ears, It wants you!! Shao Yibai! Su Qingcheng called out harshly with a plea. You cant do this... Shao Yibai was already aroused, but he was trying hard to control himself. Even though he had been mingling in the social circle for two years, there was never once a woman who could cause him to be this impulsive nor interest him. However, in front of Su Qingcheng, he would always lose control! Perhaps, she was his cmity! Mom? What are you all doing? A childs voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two people. Shao Yibai turned around in shock. His gaze fell on the little kid by the bedroom door. Shao Yibai looked incredulously at his white and tender face and asked coldly, Who are you? What did you just call her? Who are you? Why are you in my house? An An rubbed his eyes that were not fully opened yet and asked with his childlike voice, Mom, is he a bad person? Su Qingcheng was stunned and stood rooted on the spot. She hastily pushed against Shao Yibais chest and walked over to hug An An, gently whispering to him, This uncle is a friend of mine. Why are you up? Do you want to go pee? An An nodded. His shiny ck eyes were exceptionally beautiful. In actual fact, he was thinking about his mother in his heart, so he could not sleep soundly. When he got up in the middle of the night and heard some movements on the outside, he came out to check it out. Shao Yibai watched Su Qingcheng bring the little kid to the bathroom. He was still bothered by the issue. Whos this kid? When did Su Jiangcheng be a mother? FML. Does she have another man? This kid seemed to be three or four years old. At that time, Su Qingcheng had not left him. Could this man be the reason she left without saying goodbye back then? Shao Yibai scrambled his hair and was like a lion that was about to go into a rage. His bloodthirsty and vicious eyes filled with traces of sorrow. He watched as Su Qingcheng came out of the bathroom carrying the child in her arms. Her maternal tenderness could not be concealed at all. Darling, sleep with Grandma Zhang tonight. Ill sleep with you tomorrow, okay? Su Qingcheng rubbed An Ans head. The little kid was very sensible. He nodded and shifted his eyes to the trapped beast under the orange light in the living room. He whispered to Su Qingcheng, Mom, be careful of bad guys! If you find yourself in danger, just shout loudly. Grandmother and I wille out to help you! When Shao Yibai heard that, he did not know whether tough or cry. This kid really took him as a bad person. Dont worry, this uncles not a bad guy. Hell leave in a minute. Go to bed. You still have to go to kindergarten early tomorrow morning. Teacher Liu said that youll be the ceremonial guard! Yea, its because Im the most handsome! An An said with all seriousness. Su Qingcheng could not help butugh. Shao Yibai listened at the side. F*ck. This kids as narcissistic as I was when I was a child! The moment this thought surfaced, another thought suddenly came crashing into his mind, and he trembled in excitement! Could this kid be his child? Su Qingcheng sent An An into the bedroom and turned around to see an excited Shao Yibai. She said inly, Dont overthink. An An has nothing to do with you. You better leave now! Footnotes:

Chapter 320: A Pair of Troubled Friends

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan patiently waited downstairs for almost an hour before he saw Shao Yibai walking out of the corridor in low spirits. Where is she? Shao Yibai usually had amanding presence. Yuan Xuan could not fathom why he resembled a deted ball now. He gave Shao Yibai a cigarette, then both of them leaned against his car and smoked It was past 10 oclock now. A young person jogged past and saw the two highly attractive men smoking as they stood in front of Yuan Xuans shy Koenigsegg sports car. They nearly blinded him with their striking looks. Shes asleep! Su Qingcheng said that she could stay over tonight. Shell send her home tomorrow. Dont worry! Shao Yibais voice was hoarse. He was so dejected that he started coughing after taking just a few puffs of his cigarette. He had no idea when the woman he loved had gotten pregnant and had a baby already. Worse still, she said that the child had nothing to do with him. Who was that childs father? Shao Yibai desperately wanted to rush over and get rid of that man! How dare he vied for his woman? Shao Yibai would not tolerate this! Whats wrong? Yuan Xuan knew that Shao Yibai was hiding something from him. Judging from Shao Yibais solemn expression, Yuan Xuan was certain that this involved Su Qingcheng. However, this was not the first time he had experienced something like this. In fact, Shao Yibai was a veteran in this field. He should have gotten used to it much earlier. Su Qingcheng has a son! Shao Yibais heart was filled with indescribable pain when he said this. He flung the cigarette butt away and sat in Yuan Xuans sports car. Hemented, She said that he isnt my son! Damn, he was cuckolded! No one would willingly ept this, much less Shao Yibai. Yuan Xuan was unable to think of a way to console his friend at the moment. Lets go. Cheer up, Ill have a drink with you since my wife is not with me tonight too! Shao Yibai nced at Yuan Xuan. This jerk was usually fond of putting him down, but he was rather kind now. The car doors resembled beautiful arcs when the two men opened them. Dust trailed behind the car as it sped off into the horizon. * Blue Sea and Sky Clubhouse... The pair of troubled friends sang together and drank heavily. Shao Yibai usually had a high tolerance for alcohol, but he had a bit of a shock today. He already saw three heads on Yuan Xuans body after gulping down just a few sses of red wine... Who do you think is the father of that little brat? Shao Yibai stretched his long legs out on the sofa and still managed to look attractive in this slouching position. Su Qingcheng is an enigma. Shed never tell the truth even after threatening her with death! I... Damn, I really want to... Oh well. Whatever, I know that Im a f*cking cuckold but I refuse to give up! Shao Yibais deep voice choked up when he said this. He narrowed his beautiful eyes, and his long eyshes glimmered for a second there. It seemed like there were tears in his eyes. Yuan Xuan patted his shoulder. Shao Yibai had only been the one to make people cry all his life. It was obvious how much pain his heart was experiencing just by seeing how dejected he was right now. If that child was my son... Id rush back to Capital City and make preparations for my wedding. Id fight anybody who tried to stop me... Id make a cage and lock that woman up inside if she ever tried to run away again... Frankly, it doesnt matter whether that child is mine or not... As long as Daisy agreed... Id marry her... Id buy her a wedding dress sewn with the most beautiful jewels in the world... Wouldnt it be nice if we could take our wedding pictures in Hawaii or d? The pained expression lingered on his face as he said those words. He was almost thirty years old, but this was probably the first time Shao Yibai had suffered such a terrible blow. Momentster, tears rolled down Mr. Shaos face... Sh*t! Shao Yibai could actually cry? What happened to the saying that men should not shed their tears without restraint! The next line actually went on to say that it was because he had not been hurt as much as he thought he was. Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows as he listened. He allowed his thoughts to run wild. If Little Chenyan made him into a cuckold one day, he would... No, no, no, that thought was too terrifying! Yuan Xuan hurriedly erased this frightening idea from his mind. Mu Chenyan would never do that. She belonged to him! Shao Yibai continued to drink. In just a short while, he became so drunk that hepletely lost his sense of self-awareness. Yuan Xuan had no choice but to book a room for him. He instructed two servers to watch over him. He still could not understand why Little Chenyan was avoiding him and why she would not want to go home. The depressed man nced at his phone again. His screensaver was a picture of Mu Chenyan with her palms pressed together, making a wish under a sky of fireworks... * The first ray of sunshine cascaded through the window at dawn and scattered all over the body of the woman who was sound asleep in bed. The light yellow sheets of the bed made the room made the room felt warmer than it was. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan was woken up by a cool little hand tapping her twice. Her eyes jolted open and met a pair of pitch-ck pupils staring down at her from above. The little boy with sparkling eyes and long eyshes was incredibly adorable. Beautiful big sister, are you awake? You stole mommy away from mest night. She didnt even get to put me to sleep. said An An with a smile on his face. But youre so pretty, so I still like you staying at my house. Mu Chenyan mbered up from the bed. She rubbed her temples while her head continued to ache. Who was this little rascal? Who was his mother? Mu Chenyan scanned her surroundings and realized that they werepletely foreign to her. How did she arrive here? Mommy, the beautiful big sister is awake! There were tiger heads on An Ans fluffy slippers. They pped noisily against the floor as he ran outside and yelled. Iming. Iming! Mu Chenyan widened her eyes. She looked on in disbelief as Su Qingcheng ran out of the kitchen in an apron. She kissed An Ans cheek tenderly and murmured, Mommy made you breakfast. Granny Zhang will take you to school once youve eaten. An An nodded. His cute little face was tinted with red. When he turned around to look at Mu Chenyan, he looked slightly reluctant to leave. Is beautiful big sister going to be here tonight? Su Qingcheng burst outughing. Her son was perfect, but he had a weakness for women. Yes, mommy will invite her over to y since you like her so much. Also, you should call her aunty and not big sister! Su Qingcheng was troubled by her sons cheekiness. He referred to beautiful women as his big sisters because he wanted to decrease the age gap between them and himself. Meanwhile, he would only address the ugly ones as aunties! Once, An An was ying downstairs when he saw an overweight woman in her thirties walking arge dog. An An ran over and called her an olddy when she allowed the big dog to poop wherever it liked... An An nodded. I know that I should call her aunty, but shes prettier than most of the big sisters I know. Thats why... Thats why you should hurry up and finish your food before you go to school! Granny Zhang will take you to school first. Mommy will attend your parent-teacher conferenceter today once Ive requested for leave. An An cowered in terror when Su Qingcheng stered a stern look on her face. He tucked his tail between his legs and slipped away to the dining room to look for Aunty Zhang. Su Qingcheng saw the dazed look on Mu Chenyans face as she sat on the bed. She realized that she could not hide this from her any longer. She straightened her apron and sighed. Im sorry, Chenyan. Thats my son, An An. Hes a naughty boy... Does Shao Yibai know? Mu Chenyans initial response was to ask about Shao Yibai. This child... Hes not Shao Yibais son! Su Qingcheng had anticipated Mu Chenyans question. She avoided her gaze and replied queitly. Chapter 321 - Why Would a Brother Kidnap His Little Sister?

Chapter 321: Why Would a Brother Kidnap His Little Sister?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Perhaps everyone had a part of their past that they were unwilling to mention. Good friends who understood this would learn to give others some personal space. Mu Chenyan murmured, Hes really adorable and intelligent! Su Qingcheng turned to look at An An. The little boy sat at the dining table and ate properly. A knowing smile appeared on her face. Chenyan, will you tell me what happened? Su Qingcheng saw that Mu Chenyan had finished washing up, so she poured her a ss of milk. The feast that wasid out on the breakfast table could not stimuate Mu Chenyans appetite. Her stomach was rejecting the sight of food strongly after her drunken stupor. She could not eat anything now. Nothing happened. I acted impulsively! Ill never get drunk again... Mu Chenyan became slightly afraid when she thought of drinking. This fear reminded her of her aversion to chilies. After all, she had tremendously suffered after consuming these two things. She merely touched on the matter lightly. It seemed like she did not want to say much about it. Su Qingcheng decided not to pursue the matter. The two women ate a little bit of the food together. Su Qingcheng cleared the tes and cutlery and got ready to attend An Ans parent-teacher conference. Im sorry, Chenyan. Youll have to take a cab to the office. Su Qingcheng took her bag and entered the elevator with Mu Chenyan. She apologized as they left. Go ahead and tend to your matters! Ill be fine. When she left the neighborhood, Mu Chenyan realized that she had been too optimistic about the whole situation. It was difficult to hail a cab so early in the morning. Worse still, this was also a restricted street. She walked for some time and then decided to go to the end of another street to hail a cab there instead. Just as Mu Chenyan was about to reach her arm out to stop a cab, someone grabbed her waist from behind and covered her mouth with a cloth... * Yuan Xuan initially assumed that Mu Chenyan would be fine with Su Qingcheng. That was why he did not send anyone to follow her. He sent a text message to Su Qingcheng to ask her about his wife. He had to go through her because Mu Chenyans phone was switched off this whole time. Su Qingcheng said that Mu Chenyan was not with her. A bad feeling rose in Yuan Xuans heart... He rushed out of the Blue Sea and Sky Clubhouse and went to the police department immediately. Third Young Master Yuan? Why are you here so early? Can we help you? Wu Huai thought that Yuan Xuan was here because of Yuan Zhes case. He assumed that the Yuan Family was going to cause them more trouble by asking them to speed up the trial. Wu Huai could not help but mock him for rushing over when the case was already solved. He never expected that Yuan Xuan would merely ignore him. Yuan Xuan asked in an icy tone, Captain Wu, where is Mu Chenyan? Wu Huai was shocked. Mu Chenyan had been with Su Qingcheng ever since she left the rest of the groupst night. Neither of them came to the office today. Su Qingcheng had requested for leave this morning while Mu Chenyan never came at all. I havent seen your wife since she left usst night! Yuan Xuans cold eyes darkened when he heard this. He took a deep breath and began pacing up and down Wu Huais office. The elegant but arrogant man was usually extremely calm when he was faced with encountered problems. He had never lost control of himself in front of others. However, his heart would be ridden with anxiety whenever Mu Chenyan was in trouble. It was currently impossible for him to deny this. Captain Wu, I need your help. Get someone to send me the surveince tapes of the areas near Han City Road. Ill take some of the people here with me to search for Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuans eyebrows were knitted so closely together that they could not be straightened. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and gave it to Wu Huai. He lit one up for himself too. Are you saying that Mu Chenyan may have been kidnapped? Wu Huai noticed the solemn expression on Yuan Xuans face and realized the severity of the situation. Yuan Xuan exhaled ring after ring of smoke. His voice was hoarse when he said, It may have happened! Who would do that? Wu Huai surmised that the Yuan Family had numerous enemies. If this was really a kidnapping case, the situation would be ratherplicated. Im not sure. Captain Wu, we have to work together! Yuan Xuan rose and left when he said that. He suspected that Mu Chenwu was behind this, but he did not tell Wu Huai that. After all, outsiders would assume that Mu Chenwu was Mu Chenyans loving older brother. Why would a brother kidnap his little sister? That waspletely unreasonable. He did not want to waste everyones time by exining it. ... Wu Huai mobilized the other branches and had the surveince records from the departments that monitored the neighborhood examined. Apparently, two people had snatched Mu Chenyan and drove off in a silver-colored van at the end of a street near Han City Road. This van had circled the neighborhood several times, seemingly not in a hurry to leave the city, before finally stopping near Sheng Yu Hospital. This did not fit the routine of a kidnapping case! The kidnappers did not contact anyone for ransom once they had secured their hostage. They even circled the neighborhood with their victim in tow and ended up at the hospital in the end? What the hell were they doing? Wu Huai hastily contacted Yuan Xuan when he noticed these things. On the other side, Yuan Xuan and the others rushed to Sheng Yu Hospital. Mu Chenyan was actually inside Yan Meis ward. Her little face was pale as she held her mothers hand tightly. Yuan Xuan was faintly consoled. Aside from the sickly look on her face, she waspletely unharmed. However, an hour had passed since her kidnapping. Who had this woman met inside the van? An hour was enough time for someone to drive a wedge between them! Yuan Xuan suppressed his anger. He made an effort in restraining himself from ripping Mu Chenwu to shreds! Little Chenyan! Yuan Xuan pushed open the door and ran inside. You stayed out all night and refused to answer my calls. Do you know how much Im worried about you? Yuan Xuans tone was not usatory at all. He rushed over and tightly embraced Mu Chenyan. He murmured, I was so worried... He was beingpletely honest! Even if Wu Huai did not contact him, it was still highly unlikely that Mu Chenwu could travel a great distance from Luo Hai within an hour. He had already nned to take his men and conduct a thorough search of Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan seemed unfazed. She merely nced at Yuan Xuan indifferently before a hint of uncertainty shed in her eyes. Im fine! Mu Chenyans voice trembled. I just met an old friend. Yuan Xuan sensed that this woman was defying him. He was certain that the person whom she met was more than just an old friend. The mans gaze turned sterner. He lowered his voice and asked, What kind of friend would kidnap you? Am I obligated to tell you everything? Traces of resentment lingered in Mu Chenyans tone. She shoved Yuan Xuan away and took a few steps back as if they did not know each other at all. A defensive look filled her eyes as she distanced herself from him. History was repeating itself! This had previously happened after she met up with Mu Chenwu. She was drawing a clear line between Yuan Xuan and herself again! Idiot! Yuan Xuan was annoyed. He took several long strides forward and grabbed her roughly by the waist. Was it Mu Chenwu? Mu Chenyan stopped beating around the bush when Yuan Xuanid everything out in the open. She struggled against him. Yes! What are you going to do about it? Are you going to capture my brother and kill him before you finally murder me as well? Yuan Xuan had no clue what nonsense the woman was spouting. He merely felt that she was being unreasonably upset now because someone else had deluded her. You idiot! When are you going to put your brain to good use? Yuan Xuan scolded her. He carried her on his shoulder and ignored her objections. Youre so silly. How could I kill you? Yuan Xuan carried her into the elevator while everyone else looked on in shock. Mu Chenyans stomach began to hurt when it was pressed against Yuan Xuans shoulders. That and yesterdays hangover had used up all her remaining strength rather quickly. She sobbed and gave up on struggling. However, her heart was still filled with hatred for Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenwus words still echoed beside her ears. You assumed that I was the one who brought Shu Qinger back. Have you ever thought that it might be Yuan Xuan? You thought that it was just a coincidence that Shu Qinger started living with the Yuan Family. But how could she settle down in Luo Hai gradually if Yuan Xuan had never agreed to it? Chapter 322 - Her Love for Him Was Immeasurably Deep

Chapter 322: Her Love for Him Was Immeasurably Deep

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The woman was tossed into the car. Her emotions crashed like turbulent waves. Violent rage caused her body to tremble uncontrobly. Yuan Xuan could feel the resentment in Mu Chenyans bloodshot eyes. He knew that her current condition was caused by her drunken stuporst night and the stressful event that she had just experienced. He reminded himself to be the bigger person. He decided to pamper her! Yuan Xuan suppressed the anger in his heart. Throughout their journey, he noticed that Mu Chenyan was ring at him indignantly. His chest was brimming with fury when they reached Hibiscus Garden. He dragged her into the bedroom despite her protests. Yuan Xuan pushed her onto the bed and covered her with a nket. What are you doing? Mu Chenyan was vexed! She struggled for awhile before realizing that it was futile. She could not even move her arms because Yuan Xuan was pressing the edges of the sheets down. Her fluffy head was exposed, and everything below her neck was hidden under the sheets. Nothing! Go to sleep! Yuan Xuan said as he tucked her in. Sleep? How could he expect her to sleep when it was still bright outside? Are you crazy? Mu Chenyan cursed angrily. You need to sleep because your mind is still foggy! Ill talk to you when youre awake. It seemed as though Yuan Xuan had seen through Mu Chenyan. He countered her immediately. Mu Chenyan did not know what to say at the moment. She finally stopped thrashing about and merely red at Yuan Xuan angrily. The man rose and walked to the balcony. He was about to light his cigarette when he noticed that Mu Chenyan was mbering to sit up. Annoyed, Yuan Xuan charged over and pressed her down again. Im not going to sleep! Ive sobered up... Mu Chenyan objected while panting with rage. I told you to sleep! This man had never been so rude and unreasonable. He appeared fiercer now than he did in the past! Mu Chenyan turned away. She did not want to meet his calm gaze that concealed nothing but false pretences. Little Chenyan, listen to me. Go to sleep and forget the things that are making you unhappy. Yuan Xuan realized that he had frightened her when she stopped opposing him. He lowered his voice and spoke slowly instead. Everything will be over soon. Will you be a good girl? Mu Chenyan heard the miserable tone in Yuan Xuans voice and forced herself to calm down. Mu Chenwus statements were illogical. Even if Yuan Xuan had feelings for Qinger, he would not have instructed her to harm Ye Kun. Mu Chenyan had seen through the ws in this argument already. That was why she doubted the things that Mu Chenwu said as well. However, her heart felt stifled when she recalled how Yuan Xuan had left with Qingerst night. She still wanted to kick up a fuss... Yuan Xuan spared no effort to hide the resentment between the Yuan Family and Mu Family. Nheless, he still treated her like she was one of his personal possessions. Mu Chenyan could not stand this! Mu Chenyan was forced to rely on her own assumptions because her brother did not give her a full ount of everything. Mu Chenwu only sent her to the hospital because her mind was overwhelmed with doubts. She could not trust anyone besides her mother now! Sadly, Yan Mei could not tell her anything... Everything was tormenting her. She truly hoped that it was all a dream. Mu Chenyan quickly exhausted herself by letting her imagination run wild. She had not slept properlyst night either, so very soon her eyelids was beginning to feel heavy ... Yuan Xuan sighed in relief when Mu Chenyan fell asleep. He was still smoking on the balcony when he received a call from Yan Jun. Young Master, that b*stard Mu Chenwu is extremely cunning. There were three identical silver-colored vans and two of them had fake number tes. Our men lost sight of him after a short while. He managed to escape! Yan Jun had never met someone like Mu Chenwu. He was unbelievably skilled at diverting them when they pursued him. He had slipped away from their grasp again and again as if he was a mudfish. Yuan Xuan smoked on the balcony for a little while. He looked at the grassy hills in the distance. It was chilly now that autumn was here. Yuan Xuan knitted his eyebrows together. He lowered his voice and said, Theres no need to rush! Hell be at deaths door soon enough. Mu Chenwu had really learned his strategies from Mu Feng. Yuan Xuan med himself for underestimating him earlier. Mu Chenwu lost his right-hand man when Yuan Zhe died. This prompted him to seek Mu Chenyan now. He would be more and more reckless if he was not caught. * The underground section below a construction site near Green Smoke Mountain was one of Mu Chenwus hiding ces. He nned his battle strategies here. This ce was extremely sturdy because it was built to withstand the worst fights. Previously, he had managed to keep thisrge-scale project hidden with Yuan Zhes help. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhe had met with an ident. Mu Chenwu knew that this ce would be exposed sooner orter. He did not want his efforts to fail at the eleventh hour. The Mu Family had prospered in Luo Hai for several decades. Failure was simply not an option. Chenwu, where were you today? The hoarse voice came from an old man wearing a gauze mask. He looked rather sinister. Mu Feng faked his own death four years ago by killing a man who was simr in age, physique, and appearance to him. He got to spend the next few years living a meaningless life as a reward. Ironically, God seemed to have another n to make him leave this world. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. His days were numbered as he had already started coughing up blood. Father, I went to see Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenwu walked over and supported Mu Fengs extremely frail body. Yuan Xuan was hot on their heels. They were too afraid to visit the hospital for chemotherapy. They could only hide here and rely on traditional Chinese medicine for now. Mu Fengs health was deteriorating. His breathing had be uneven these few days. The site that they used to n their battle tactics was surrounded by hills. It was hard to get here since it was extremely remote. Mu Feng scanned his surroundings and sneered coldly. Do you think Mu Chenyan will help us? It doesnt matter whether she helps us or not. I just want to give Yuan Xuan hell! A sinister smile appeared on Mu Chenwus face as he spoke. At least hes underestimating me now! Are you sure that you havent made any risky moves? Mu Feng did not haveplete faith in his son. Frankly, some things will definitely change as weve lost Yuan Zhes help this time, but Im too busy to handle so many matters at once. Yuan Xuan has already transferred his foreign forces back here. Nheless, he wont have enough time to manage everything due to the tremendous changes that are happening to the Yuan Family! Mu Chenwu nced at his father as he spoke. Yuan Xuans next target is definitely Yuan Tangzhong. Im going to use this opportunity to ambush him! Mu Feng began to cough violently when he heard this. He panted heavily before breaking out into a smirk. He then eximed, Perhaps Im being punished! Id be rather upset if I die in a ce like this... Dont worry, father. I wont let you die this way. Ill take you to the hospital once weve gotten rid of the Mu Family... Itll be toote! Mu Feng leaned weakly against the chair. His eyes were half closed, and his lips trembled. Suddenly, he cried, Now I felt sorry for your mother! If she hadnt insisted on leaving me for Ye Kun, I wouldnt have drugged her and instructed my body double to drive off with her in a speeding car. Mu Chenwu lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He knew of this matter all too well. That car had been modified. It had went out of control instantly when it went for a high-speed sharp turn. The scapegoat had no idea that his appearance had been altered surgically. All he was instructed to do was to bring back an unconsciousdy and a box of cash. Then, he had driven the car on the highway and met his death. He actually thought that he had hit the jackpot with this one... I despised her! But I also loved her... Mu Fengs lips quivered before heughed sadistically. Unfortunately, she only had eyes for Ye Kun! The previous matters would never have been exposed if she hadnt secretly released Ye Kun in Xi Fan... Father, stop bringing this up! Mu Chenwu held a grudge against his father for his decision. However, Yan Meis involvement in the situation was vital at that time. If Yan Mei was not there, Yuan Xuan would probably have trouble believing that the man who died in the car crash was Mu Feng. Divine retribution! Mu Feng continued, smiling. Im afraid that Ill be leaving before her. If your mother ever wakes up, I... I hope that she doesnt end up with Ye Kun... Dont worry! Mu Chenwus carefree tone wasced with a murderous aura. Ye Kun got lucky thest time! We must kill him because he knows too much already. Otherwise, itll be difficult for us to establish ourselves in Luo Hai even if we cause Yuan Xuan to stumble. Mu Feng nodded and coughed. Youll be the only one left in the Mu Family in the future. At the end of the day, Mu Chenyan... Mu Fengs breathing was thrown off when he mentioned Mu Chenyan. He coughed violently for some time before calming down with much difficulty. He still resented her. He nced at his son. If I didnt know that your mum couldnt handle it, I wouldve killed her right when she was born. Father! Mu Chenwu stood up and paced up and down the room. Mother isnt the only one to be med for this! You must remember that it wasnt a one-sided wish when she got pregnant with Mu Chenyan! Yan Mei always remarked that she could see traces of Mu Feng in Mu Chenwu. She was not particrly fond of her son because of that. Their rtionship was also strained for a period of time. In spite of that, Mu Chenwu would not allow Mu Feng to put all the me on Yan Mei. Alright, I wont say that anymore. Take care of yourself and remember that shes not a member of the Yuan Family anymore... She still promised to help me get the serial numbers of Yuan Xuans ships and the schedule that lists the times when they leave the port to go to his oilfield at sea. I wont have any problems destroying Yuan Xuan once Ive obtained those things! * Hibiscus Garden... The sky was already turning dark when Mu Chenyan awakened. She had slept soundly throughout the entire day and missed lunch. She only realized how hungry she was when she woke up. Ah Fu peeked inside from the corridor. She asked cautiously when she saw that Mu Chenyan is awake, Mistress, are you hungry? Mu Chenyan nodded gently. Where is the Young Master? He just went out. He told me to cook some herbal porridge for you before he left! Would you like to have some now? Mu Chenyan nced at the balcony. The ashtray on the windowsill was filled with cigarette butts. She guessed that her husband had stood there and smoked for a long time while she was asleep. The Mid-Autumn Festival would be here in three days. ording to established customs, the influential aristocratic families would be holding banquets around this time. The Yuan Familys banquet would certainly be less grand this year due to Yuan Zhes incident. Nheless, it would not be a terribly shabby affair since the Yuan Family was still a powerful household. Yuan Xuan would probably be upied with the preparation for the banquet for the next few days. Mu Chenyan got up and changed her clothes when she thought of that. She walked past Yuan Xuans study and saw theputer that he usually used for work. Mu Chenyan had no idea why Mu Chenwu wanted the serial numbers of the boats that Yuan Xuanspany used for oil extraction. He also wanted the records that listed when they entered and left the port. She was too afraid to make any rash decisions as she could not guess his motives. However, Mu Chenwu had promised to leave Luo Hai once he had obtained those documents. He had abandon his desire for revenge as well. At least this would allow the Mu Familys bloodline to live on... Since Yuan Xuan had already controlled Mu Chenyan and Yan Mei, Mu Chenyans greatest wish was to save Mu Chenwu. Mu Chenyan pondered for awhile. She had nned to observe the situation first and actter, but she hesitated now. She made sure that Ah Fu was still in the kitchen before pushing open the door that led to Yuan Xuans study. There were no surveince cameras inside Hibiscus Garden because Yuan Xuan prioritized his privacy. Mu Chenyan thought about how brave she was to be doing this. When she turned Yuan Xuansputer on, she noticed that it took a long time to start. She had never done anything like this before. Mu Chenyan was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. It required a password! Mu Chenyans heart thumped wildly. She felt like a secret agent. She tried her birth date. Wrong! She tried Yuan Xuans birth date instead. Wrong again! Mu Chenyans head was spinning. It was harder for her toe up with ideas now when she was so nervous. Mistress, your porridge is ready. Where are you? Ah Fus voice echoed from downstairs. Mu Chenyan startled and turned off theputer in a sh. Whats the password? thought Mu Chenyan. She waspletely clueless at the moment. She decided not to act rashly. There would be plenty of time to do this! Mu Chenyan went downstairs. Her gaze met Yuan Xuans bright eyes just as she turned the corner. The mans dazzling eyes were beaming with joy. Have you sobered up? Do you feel better after sleeping throughout the entire afternoon? Mu Chenyan could tell that he was teasing her from his tone of voice. She did not want to talk to him at all. After all, he would assume that she was just causing unnecessary trouble if she tried to confront him. Yuan Xuan took the herbal porridge from Ah Fu. He pulled Mu Chenyan over with his other hand and sat her at the dining table. Mu Chenyan watched Yuan Xuan as he gently stirred the porridge while holding the bowl. He used his lips to test its temperature and murmured, You can eat it now! Mu Chenyan turned away when Yuan Xuan scooped a spoonful of porridge for her. He wanted to feed her, but she was too embarrassed to let him do it. What do you think youre doing? Yuan Xuan took a deep breath. He put the bowl down and grasped his wifes hands instead. His smooth hands were always warm. He held her little hand in his palm and whispered, Qinger was harassed by several art buyers when she got drunkst night! Mu Chenyan shivered when she heard this. Her shocked voice was tinged with panic. Did I ask? Yuan Xuansrge hands did not flinch. He continued, I rushed to the Golden Age Club when she called me. I didnt know that you were there too when I took her away. I went there with Tian Qi, Yan Jun, and a few other people. Mistress, should I ask the witnesses toe over? Yuan Xuan spoke earnestly. His gentle, resplendent eyes melted Mu Chenyans heart. She whispered, They have to obey you because theyre your subordinates. Whats the point of getting them to testify on your behalf? Mu Chenyan guessed that he had visited Golden Age in the evening. Yuan Xuan had probably noticed her when she was standing in the corner of the corridor watching him save Shu Qinger. You have toe to me at once in the future if there are doubts in your heart. You already know that Qinger had been assaulted when she tried to saved me. I cant bear to watch someone else abuse her again! Yuan Xuans palms were too warm, and Mu Chenyans hands began to sweat. She attempted to pull away but Yuan Xuan refused to let her go. Mu Chenyan sighed internally. Affection and resentment stirred in her heart when she looked at the man before her. Her love for him was immeasurably deep. She loved all of his virtues and his ws. Yuan Xuan was besotted with her as well, but he still cherished Qinger. At the same time, Mu Chenyan hated Yuan Xuan for enduring everything in silence. Nheless, she pitied him because of his circumstances. He was surrounded by troublesome women. Qinger was a liar who took advantage of his remorseful heart. The Old Mistress was selfish and possessive, holding him hostage with the fact that theyre mother and son. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan insisted on arguing with him regarding certain matters due to the feud between their families... I know that already! Frankly, Mu Chenyan felt slightly better now. She realized that her jealous fit was actually quite ridiculous when she recalled what had happened yesterday... Yuan Xuan, do you still remember the most memorable day of your life? Mu Chenyan casually nced at him when she asked the question suddenly. She took the bowl of porridge from him, stirring it to hide her nervousness. Yes, it was the first time Iid eyes on you under the pomegranate tree in spring! Chapter 323 - He Had Taken Great Pains to Plant His Seeds

Chapter 323: He Had Taken Great Pains to nt His Seeds

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yes, it was the first time Iid eyes on you under the pomegranate tree in spring! Yuan Xuan mentioned it casually and without hesitating at all. It seemed as though that memory had been engraved in his heart for a long time. Yuan Xuan was fifteen years old at that time. He was older and more mature than Mu Chenyan, but fifteen was also the year most people had their first love as well Mu Chenyan trembled when she heard this. Her love for Yuan Xuan grew little by little until she found herself increasingly fond of the man. It was clear that she had not been infatuated with him since the beginning. She had no idea that their initial encounter left such a deep impression on him... They had met on 6th of March, the day that marked the beginning of the 3rd sr term 1. Mu Chenyans lips tugged into a small smile. You were more infatuated with me than I imagined! Mistress, did you just notice that? Yuan Xuan approached her when he said this. His warm breath tickled her ears. I would have stopped at nothing to get you, mistress! Mu Chenyan felt that her husband was embarrassing himself. In reality, she was the one who spared no effort to gain his affection. She was a real pest who had followed him for many years. What did he do then? He tried to look cool and regarded her with disinterest every time... Stop making things up! Mu Chenyan was not interested. She turned away before she lifted the bowl and ate the porridge. She had only swallowed a spoonful of porridge when she felt ufortable again. There was an indescribable twitching sensation. Her expression changed. She made a mental note to stop drinking alcohol in the future even though she did not drink a lotst night. Who would have thought that her alcohol tolerance was as low as it was? She still felt nauseated after suffering through the whole night. Whats wrong? Does it taste weird? Yuan Xuan saw the troubled look on Mu Chenyans face. He took the bowl and tasted the food. Ah Fus porridge was made with green vegetables, lean meat, and some herbal chicken soup. The vor was mild, and she was usually a big fan of this dish. What happened today? Mu Chenyan shook her head and forced herself to swallow another big spoonful of the porridge. She was seized with unbearable pain when that mouthful of food entered her stomach. She pursed her lips, shoved Yuan Xuan aside and ran to the bathroom on the first floor. She threw up uncontrobly. Mu Chenyan vomited until she had nothing left to throw up except for bile. Her body spasmed as she curled up into a ball. Snot and tears were running down her face before she finally stopped puking. Yuan Xuan was terribly worried. He held her weak body tightly and said, The alcohol must have irritated your stomach and made you sick! Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with him. She did have trouble eating and sleeping these few days, and her body temperature fluctuated. On top of everything, she went and got herself drunkst night. It was not surprising that there was something wrong with her now. It was already night time when Yuan Xuan helped Mu Chenyan settle down in the bedroom so it would be inconvenient to call the family doctor toe over at this hour. The family doctor had also been staying with the Old Mistress for a few days after the incident at the Yuan household urred. It would be better to let him rest for now. Yuan Xuan remembered that Yuan Tian had previously done a good job treating Little Ginger Fur Balls stomach problems. He went back downstairs and instructed Ah Fu, Ask the Fifth Miss toe over. Tell her that somethings wrong with the mistress stomach! Yuan Tian probably thought to herself, Damn, I cant believe that you expect me to treat your wife and cats stomach aches. Im a heart and brain surgeon for crying out loud... Ah Fu was frightened out of her wits when she saw Mu Chenyan vomit after eating the porridge that she cooked. Most of the personal servants throughout the mansions were fired after the recent poisoning incident in Peace Mansion. They had only kept the most capable ones. Ah Fu was naturally afraid to see the Mistress being unwell. Ill go right away... Ah Fu jogged there. She did not even have enough time to remove her apron. Yuan Tian was wearing a face mask at home and had no time to wash her face properly when she heard that Mu Chenyan was sick. She followed Ah Fu to Hibiscus Garden right away. Mu Chenyanid in bed sickly. She was exhausted from vomiting, and her stomach was still churning. Yuan Xuan was pacing anxiously in the room. This man would only lose hisposure when something had happened to Mu Chenyan. Chenyan, when was yourst period? Yuan Tian asked suddenly. She had finished her examination that included checking her blood pressure and using a stethoscope to listen to her heartbeat. Mu Chenyan was stunned. She lifted her head and nced at Yuan Xuans glistening gaze. He looked rather emotional. She did not know the answer to that question. You idiot, do you remember when you had yourst period? Yuan Tian became anxious when Mu Chenyan failed to answer her question. I think... It was probably more than a month ago? Mu Chenyan nced at Yuan Xuan when she replied. It seemed like she was asking for his opinion... Yuan Xuan was silent, but he could not conceal the joy on his stern face. A months time had definitely passed. Thest time he remembered it happening was when she fell into the water with Qinger. Are we expecting a new addition to the family? Yuan Xuan asked this in a roundabout manner. The contours on his enchanting face were not as noticeable anymore. His profound gaze was filled with gentleness when he looked at Mu Chenyan. He attempted to suppress his hopefulness but he was clearly feeling sentimental. Yuan Tian sighed and gave Mu Chenyan a re. She reprimanded her, Youre so stupid! Did you really forget something so simple? Mu Chenyan was shocked when Yuan Tian scolded her. Her heart was a mess right now, and all she knew was that she was afraid. She asked carefully, Am I really pregnant? Im not sure. You should go to the hospital tomorrow morning to get a blood test done! But I drank alcoholst night... Mu Chenyan could not stop thinking of that when she mentioned it. She felt extremely regretful. If she had known about this earlier, she would not have consumed alcohol even if her life depended on it. Although Su Qingcheng had helped her expel most of it from her body by making her vomit, some of the alcohol would have been absorbed anyway. When Yuan Xuan heard this, the emotional look on his face turned into an anxious one. Could anything have happened? He had taken great pains to nt his seeds! He shot a dirty look at Mu Chenyan as he spoke. Frustration filled his heart. She had taken his underage son out drinking! Worse still, this woman had suffered greatly after she drank and hardly ate anything throughout the day. Yuan Xuan nearly pped himself when he noticed her sunken eye sockets. He felt so sorry for her! Yuan Tianughed. We cant be certain for now. The hospitalsb test results are the most urate, so we should wait for that. Im just guessing. However, you dont have to worry even if shes really pregnant. Frankly, babies arent that fragile! Mu Chenyan was still very worried despite what Yuan Tian had said. She had previously used the Marvelon contraceptives, but it had been almost half a year since shest use it. This was alright. However, Yuan Xuan had not gotten used to using condoms during that period of time. She had not made it a habit to control Yuan Xuans smoking either. Everyone knew that the couple should stop smoking and drinking alcohol altogether when they were getting ready to conceive. Neither of them had done enough preparation... Yuan Tian noticed that Mu Chenyan was still worried and tried tofort her by saying, Theres no point in worrying. You should look at the situation first before deciding if you want to keep it or not. Mu Chenyans little hands tightened their grip on the corners of the nket when Yuan Tian said this. She was slightly afraid. She would definitely want to keep the baby if she was pregnant! Yuan Xuan stopped pacing. He was clearly anxious as well. Nheless, a child is a gift from God. Fate decides when youll have a baby. There are a lot of people out there who had gotten pregnant despite not wanting a baby while some have spent their entire lives praying for one but remain childless. If this baby makes it, hell be prepared to face the changes in the outside world. You dont have to worry about his health. Come to the hospital with an empty stomach tomorrow morning to have your full-body checkup done. Yuan Tian nced at Yuan Xuan when she said this. The stern doctor turned into a spoiled little devil in the blink of an eye. She said with glee, My brother has strong genes. I believe that everything will be fine. Oh, Im going to be an aunt soon. Im so excited! Footnotes:

Chapter 324: Little Chenyan, I Would Be Really Happy If It Was a Girl

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The grumpy look remained on Yuan Xuans face while Yuan Tian was still here. He seemed frighteningly stern. The mans arrogant expression fell at once when Yuan Tian left. He jumped on the bed and crawled next to Mu Chenyan. He was brimming with anticipation and uneasiness when his trembling hands stroked her belly that was still t and taut. He had not painstakingly nted his seeds in vain! Little Chenyan, Id be really happy if it was a girl! Mu Chenyan blushed when those words escaped Yuan Xuans lips. She had always assumed that he wanted a son. Why do you want it to be a girl? Frankly, Mu Chenyan did not have any preference for either sex. If she was really pregnant, she would already love the baby simply because it was her own child. Because I cant stand the cold during winter! Yuan Xuans voice was a little hoarse, but it could not hide his excitement. Mu Chenyan could not think of a reply. What did the sex of their baby have anything to do with him dreading the cold? Didnt you know that daughters stick close to their parents like little quilted jackets? If you give birth to a baby girl, my daughter will continue to wrap her arms around my neck when Im 60 years old. Shell even ask me if I want to buy a pair of warm shoes! Were you hoping for a son? That little brat will try to steal you from me. I cant bear to let you sleep next to another male. Hes also going to suckle this part of you! Yuan Xuan sounded rather jealous when he spoke about having a son. He even poked Mu Chenyans chest with his finger... Damn, she had never met someone who would be jealous of their own son! This was too unreasonable. Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows and pushed hisrge hands away. She red at him and muttered, Youre so immature! Yuan Xuan was not annoyed. Rather, he was quite pleased. He seemed to be carried away by the joy of being a father for the first time. Nothing has been confirmed yet. Lets sleep earlier tonight. ording to Big Tian, we can only be sure after the checkup at the hospital tomorrow morning. Mu Chenyan pulled the nket over her andid down. She was not tired at all actually since she had spent the entire afternoon sleeping. Moreover, this unexpected discovery and all her other worries would definitely make it difficult for her to fall asleep! Yuan Xuan was in a simr predicament. After tossing and turning in bed, he decided to just get up and go to the balcony. He took out a cigarette, but he put it back immediately when he remembered that his home should bepletely free of the smell of smoke from now on. A short whileter, the couple went downstairs to drink some water and then went up to shower. Yuan Xuan made Mu Chenyan a bowl of noodles when she finally got hungry. Both of them went outside to walk around in the garden when Mu Chenyan felt too full after the meal... Oh my, it was already one oclock in the morning when they finally crawled under the covers and prepared to sleep... * The next day, Yuan Xuan woke up bright and early while Mu Chenyanzed around in bed for awhile. She was nearly stunned by the scene before her when she went downstairs after washing up. Yuan Xuan was standing in the kitchen. He was dressed in a thin pale V-neck sweater and a pair of long dark pants. He had matched these two pieces of clothing together without much thought. He looked elegant despite wearing the most casual of clothing. Most importantly, this man was currently cooking at home. Yes, he was certainly cooking! Mistress, youre finally here. Look, the Young Master has cooked all this delicious food for you. This was the first time Ah Fu had witnessed Yuan Xuan cooking. There were traces of admiration and amazement in her tone. Mu Chenyan noticed that several bright colored seasonal vegetable side dishes were already ced on the table. He had chosen a good range of colors. There were red and yellow bell peppers, fresh green spinach, orange carrots, and white potato strips... He had also fried two hairtail fish until they turned a beautiful golden-brown. She wondered how he had cooked them until there was pungent smell of fish at all left. There was also a bowl of steamed egg custard. He had sprinkled spring onions and coriander on it, making it look extremely appealing. When did you learn how to cook? Mu Chenyan looked on in surprised when Yuan Xuan came out of the kitchen. He was carrying a bowl of herbal chicken soup and a vegetarian fried fungus dish. Every husband knows how to cook, Yuan Xuan said dryly. One could not know from the way he spoke how long had he waited for this day to arrive. Yuan Xuan was a person who did everything seriously. Naturally, he would have done a lot of preparation before he started cooking because of his meticulous and patient personality. He had read the recipes dozens of times... His food tasted delicious and looked very appetizing as well. This made Mu Chenyan doubted her own abilities now. Cooking was supposed to be a carefree task. Why did Yuan Xuan have to write lengthy notes just to do this? Why didnt I know about this before? You and Ah Fu refused to let me handle this in the past! This is thein filed by a naturally talented cook! Are you only showing off because Im pregnant? Mu Chenyan became envious when she realized this. He was apparently only doing this for his daughter... If you agree, the kitchen will be my domain in the future. Ill put up a fight against anyone who enters! The handsome man was joking around in a natural manner. He looked really attractive then. Ah Fu was also amused by the Young Masters adorable behavior. Would that mean that she would beid off in the future? That was not right! Their household would definitely be busier with the addition of a little prince or princess... Yuan Xuan reached out anddled a bowl of chicken soup for Mu Chenyan. His expression was indifferent. Does it taste pungent? Mu Chenyan tasted it. It was delicious, but she had trouble digesting greasy food now, so she only drank a few sips of the soup. Though she did ate a lot of the assorted seasonal vegetable side dishes and stir fried fungus. Mu Chenyan changed into a new set of clothes once she had finished eating. Then, Yuan Xuan drove her to the military hospital. They did not have to line up because their family owned the hospital. Mu Chenyan startedining after they took her blood. Yuan Tian told me toe on an empty stomach. I cant do the rest of the tests now... Yuan Xuan smiled. This woman was devouring the food with a big smile earlier and had only recalled Yuan Tians order right now. It was agonizing wait. Mu Chenyan could not decide whether she felt excited or uneasy. Honestly, she was not mentally prepared to have a baby. It was just all too sudden. She could never leave Yuan Xuan if they had this child. She had yet to discover the truth about the grudges between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family, but had somehow gotten herself pregnant with the descendant of the Yuan Family... She decided not to think so far ahead. This baby would be a child of the Yuan Family, but it would also be Mu Chenyans child. Yuan Tian had said that every child was a part of their parents destiny! Mu Chenyan? The young nurse stood at the doorway and called for her. Yuan Xuan walked over from the VIPne and took theboratory test report from the nurse. This was her first time seeing a father who was as handsome as Yuan Xuan. Her human chorionic gonadotropin levels are very high. Congrattions, your wife is pregnant... The young nurse nced at the expectant mother when she said this. She thought, Theyre really a match made in heaven! Yuan Xuans hands began to shake as he walked toward Mu Chenyan with the report. It was as if he was feeling every emotion known to humans all at once. Thank you, Little Chenyan! He lowered his head as he spoke and sealed his lips tightly with Mu Chenyans cherry-colored ones... The couple kissed as though they were the only people there. The other pregnant women around them cried out in surprise. Look at them. Thats so romantic! Wow, what a loving father! This child will definitely be born with good genes... Oh, thats so touching. Im going to cry... Thements from the crowd made Mu Chenyan blush. She broke free from Yuan Xuans clutches and reprimanded him in a small voice, This is so embarrassing... I dont mind! This man who had just been told that he was about to be a father had ceased to be cold and restrained. On the contrary, he was extremely excited! A highly experienced obstetrician consoled Mu Chenyan and informed her that drinking alcohol would not affect the baby terribly. Theb report wrote that Mu Chenyan was over fifty days pregnant. Pay attention to your health and get more rest when you go home. You cant have sex during the first three months... Yuan Xuan paid extra attention to thest thing that the doctor said. Im going to cook for you tonight. Youre too skinny! Yuan Xuan sighed while he made those ns. Do I really have to hold back for three months? Mu Chenyan did not bother to give him a response. Chapter 325 - A Warm Heart Was Hidden Behind This Man’s Cold and Arrogant Appearance!

Chapter 325: A Warm Heart Was Hidden Behind This Mans Cold and Arrogant Appearance!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan had instructed Yan Jun to pick Mu Chenyan up and take her home. He then rushed to the supermarket to buy some cooking ingredients. Yuan Xuan was never concerned about small matters like grocery shopping before this. As the Young Master of the Yuan Family, both his clothes and food were specially made for him. Had he ever pushed a shopping cart through the supermarket before? That was an unimaginable scene... Mu Chenyan wanted to follow him, but Yuan Xuan had refused to let here along. The supermarket was packed with people and the quality of the air there was bad. He told her to go home with Yan Jun first. Mu Chenyan had no choice but to leave this to Chef Yuan! She thought that Yuan Xuan could actually be a world-ss chef if he decided to stop working at hispany. After all, a studious person like him would always be serious aboutpleting their tasks. He would not just give in to failure. * Ah Fu rushed over to Mu Chenyan when she had returned to Hibiscus Garden. Mistress, are we going to have a Little Master soon? Mu Chenyan felt both amused and embarrassed when she saw the excited little girl. She was not used to the fact that she had been given a new status as a mother so suddenly and could not help but blush whenever asked about it. It might be a Little Mistress! Mu Chenyan said with a smile. The little prince or princess will definitely be adorable! Mu Chenyanughed and shook her head helplessly when she heard this. A thought shed across Mu Chenyans mind when she went up the stairs and walked past Yuan Xuans study. She scanned her surroundings in a hurry before pushing open the door. Mu Chenyan turned on hisputer. Her fingers trembled as she entered a series of numbers. She had first met Yuan Xuan on the 6th of March, the day that marked the beginning of the third sr term... The screen shed and an image of herself appeared. She stared at her own picture in shock. A few seconds had passed before Mu Chenyan realized that she had turned on theputer! Yuan Xuans wallpaper was a picture of her while they were studying in Ennd. She was very surprised by this. She was only 17 years old in that picture. She looked sweet and innocent, but it was not a surprise that she was a bit stuck up then. The Yuan Xuan back then did not seem to have a good impression of her because she was always pestering him. He had apparently liked her all this while! Mu Chenyans fingertips turned white as she looked at the screen. The hand that was holding the mouse quivered. She did not know whether this would be considered as a betrayal. Mu Chenwu did not exin why he wanted the things he asked for. However, her brother had promised that he would leave Luo Hai once he had obtained this information. He would never show his face here ever again. Neither she nor her mother could leave now. Yuan Xuan would never allow her to leave, especially now that she was pregnant. Nheless, she would be relieved if Mu Chenwu could leave safely. Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan had been together for a long time. She knew that Mu Chenwu would be sending himself to the grave if he resisted Yuan Xuan with his current forces. She could not allow Mu Chenwu to fight against overwhelming odds. She would not let that happen, at least for now. Mu Chenyan opened several files on the desktop. She could not find the one file that Mu Chenwu needed after rummaging through theputer for a while. Could it be that this file was not saved on thisputer? Mu Chenyan sat there and pondered. Yuan Xuan usually did his work in this room. That meant that thisputer would definitely have stored certain information. It would be impossible if he did not save them here. Mu Chenyanbed through the smaller files on his various portable hard drives carefully. There were only a few files on Yuan Xuans hard drives, and one of them was locked with a password. Mu Chenyan looked at it and keyed in a password. When she opened it, she discovered that it was filled with photos of herself as she grew up... There were pictures of her as a child. They showed her running around and causing a ruckus in the Yuan household while she yed with Yuan Tian. There were also photos of her as a young girl in junior high when she tied her hair in braids. She saw herself who loved ying basketball in high school leaping up from the court. Yuan Xuan had gotten someone to take these pictures of her. She looked like a simple-minded person in these photos. Next up were the pictures of her in high school. She saw pictures of her at every public speakingpetition and every study group meeting she had organized. There were pictures of her in a swimsuit and one where the corners of her mouth were stained with ketchup while eating a steak... Mu Chenyan felt as though she was taking a walk down the memoryne when she looked at those photos. In their rtionship, she had always assumed that she loved Yuan Xuan more than he loved her, but now she realized she was the one who tended to show off her love while Yuan Xuan had merely chosen to disy his in a restrained manner... The only thing that troubled her was that the indifference Yuan Xuan had shown to her during the ten years she had pursued him was a result of his confusion and hesitance toward her love. A warm heart was hidden behind this mans cold and arrogant appearance! If she had not gotten to know Yuan Xuan better this past year after she was released from prison, she would have never realized that he loved her so much... Mu Chenyan felt bittersweet when she looked at all the pictures in the folder. Her eyes welled up with tears as well. The woman closed the files and caressed her belly. Although it was still t, a tiny life was growing in there at the very moment. She had never stopped loving Yuan Xuan despite everything. She had never been able to turn away from the temptation of loving him and had flung herself into the thrill of it recklessly. She was torn between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family, but her heart was leaning toward Yuan Xuan in the final moments. Nheless, she would feel more at ease if Mu Chenwu agreed to leave Luo Hai safe and sound. When she thought of this, she opened the files again. Seconds and minutes ticked by. Mu Chenyan was panicking, but she forced herself to stay calm. Mu Chenyan finally found the information that Mu Chenwu wanted in a hidden file. She transferred a copy of the file to her sh drive hastily before sending another copy of it to her email. Ah Fus shocked cries echoed from downstairs. Young Master, youve bought so many ingredients! Well have enough tost us for a really long time! I bought a little bit of everything to make sure that the Mistress gets enough nourishment! Women usually have a hard time when theyre pregnant, so I have to take good care of her during these few months. You can leave the cooking to me during this period of time. Yuan Xuan rolled up his sleeves as he said this. This man was a CEO and an iparably elegant son of an aristocrat, but he looked like an actual chef now... Ah Fu watched as this godlike man came down upon his high horse and walked into the kitchen. The helpless girl could not help but sigh to herself. She thought, The Mistress might just be the most charming person ever. The sessor of Luo Hais first aristocratic family had actually be such a down-to-earth househusband with her... Mu Chenyan panicked when she heard the noises. Her forehead was immediately covered in sweat. She removed her sh drive right away and pressed the button to turn theputer off. The woman left the study and rushed into the bedroom. Yuan Xuan walked to the corner of the stairs and yelled, Mistress, are you sleeping again? Mu Chenyan poked her head out of the bedroom. She pretended to look as if she had just woken up and crawled out of bed. She smiled and said, Nonsense! As if Id spend the entire day sleeping. Do I look like a pig to you? Mu Chenyan had changed into a set of pink pajamas. She looked adorable when the fluffy bunny ears on her outfit fell on her shoulders. Her husband could not help but approach her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He lowered his head and kissed her lips... Their tongues quickly intertwined with each other and the suckling noises they made were getting more and more erotic. Mu Chenyan had trouble breathing at one point. She moaned softly as her hands grabbed the smooth flesh around Yuan Xuans waist tightly. Yuan Xuan rxed a little when he noticed that she needed some air. He did not intend to release her anytime soon though. This man was an extremely good kisser, but his skills were deadly as well. Mu Chenyan felt as though she had turned into a pool of water after kissing for just a while. Mu Chenyan was feeling emotional now. Perhaps this was caused by the pregnancy, or the anxiety that she was feeling earlier. This could have also arisen when she realized that Yuan Xuan was keeping secrets from her. She leaned into Yuan Xuans embrace. Her thoughts and heart were an absolute mess. She murmured, Everything feels like a dream... Chapter 326 - Would She Have to Bury the Hatchet Once Mu Chenwu Left Luo Hai?

Chapter 326: Would She Have to Bury the Hatchet Once Mu Chenwu Left Luo Hai?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan knew that she was touched. The man caressed her fluffy head and murmured, Well have to hold back for three months. How are we going to survive those days? Why dont you use this instead? As he spoke, Yuan Xuan covered her red lips with the course pads of his fingers. This irritated Mu Chenyan so much that she hit him. Youre so indecent! How shameless... Why are you embarrassed? Youve already seen me doing the most obscene things. He kept saying increasingly inappropriate things. Mu Chenyan struck him again before changing the subject. Whats for dinner? Im quite hungry now. Yuan Xuan ran to the kitchen to start cooking when he heard that his wife was hungry. Mu Chenyan took her phone out when Yuan Xuan left. She opened her email and pressed the send button gently after a moment of hesitation... It was sent sessfully! Suddenly, a recurring thought shed in Mu Chenyans mind again. Would she have to bury the hatchet once Mu Chenwu left Luo Hai? * Mu Chenwu opened his mailbox. The corners of his lips curled up into an arc when he saw the email that Mu Chenyan had sent. Good girl. You were my final weapon indeed! Mu Chenwus eyes were bloodshot. He was holding half of a refractory brick. This was aposite material that he had been carefully preparing. It would explode upon collision or contact with water. Mu Chenwu had been wanting to get his hands on the document that contained information regarding Yuan Xuans ports and ships since half a year ago. He had instructed several hackers to hack into Yuan Xuanspany database. Unfortunately, his firewall was just too strong. The hackers had failed, and Yuan Xuan had been keeping a close eye on them after that. The poisoning case at Zong He allowed Wu Huai to arrest the hackers once he had discovered their base. Mu Chenwu was forced to stand back and wait patiently as he had lost his capable assistants. It was impossible for him to do anything without those documents. Yuan Zhe had been helping him to expand his forces in secret. However, he was stuck in the most crucial step. Mu Chenwu realized that he was backed into a corner when he discovered that Yuan Zhe was murdered. Instead of resigning himself to his fate, he decided to seek Mu Chenyans assistance. Mu Chenwu had not been entirely optimistic about the idea. After all, his excuses were wed and filled with holes. An intelligent person like Mu Chenyan would not necessarily believe him, much less help him. He was prepared for both oues when he kidnapped Mu Chenyan. If she helped him, he would release her and execute the original n. If Mu Chenyan refused, he would change the n as needed. He would use Mu Chenyan as bait to lure Yuan Xuan to the construction site at Green Smoke Mountain which he had been using as a base. Anyhow, the worst that would happen was a life or death struggle that would end in mutual destruction... The situation had developed in a way that had exceeded his expectations greatly. Everything went just a bit too smoothly. Mu Chenyan had cared too much about her own family so much so that a smart woman like her would make such rming decisions. Do you really think that Ill leave Luo Hai now that I have this? A sinister smile appeared on Mu Chenwus face. Im going to arrange everything perfectly and wait for your Brother Xuan to fall into my trap! * Yuan Family Mansion... The news of Mu Chenyans pregnancy could not be hidden any longer. Despite the recent death in the mansion, the good news brought joy to several families. However, others were not so pleased to hear this. Yuan Tian and Wen Ya were happy for Mu Chenyan. Both of them had sent people to deliver their gifts at once. Yuan Tian gave her a little radio. It was designed to look like the title character of the Peppa Pig cartoon. It was extremely adorable. Mu Chenyan did not know what this was for, but Yuan Tian told her to use it for prenatal education. She could connect her phone to the radio and y different types of prenatal education information through the applications. Using the radio instead of a smartphone would prevent the baby from being exposed to radiation. Mu Chenyan was moved by Yuan Tians attentiveness. Wen Ya had given her a pair of bolsters that were specially made for pregnant women. Mu Chenyan had stared at these long weirdly-shaped pillows for a long time and still could not figure out how to use them. This was not surprising as she had never been pregnant before. She did not know that her stomach would swell like a balloon during her pregnancy. This pillow was an incredible item that would help her sleep because it would reduce the pressure and feeling of heaviness that was exerted on her belly. Su Qingcheng decided to give her a set of prenatal education books when she heard about it. She told Mu Chenyan that the baby would be able to hear and feel things inside the womb once it was three months old. She could start talking to her baby by then... This was wonderful! As a new mother, Mu Chenyan was actually more concerned about these things than the joy of her pregnancy. Naturally, Mr. Yuan seemed very anxious. He had tried various food and beverage recipes, worried that Mu Chenyan wascking nourishment. He had bought three weighing scales and put them in the house to monitor Mu Chenyans weight gain. He would measure her weight once on each scale and take the average value. Yuan Xuan had instructed Ah Fu to record her weight every day from now and write it on the whiteboard on the dining room wall. Once Yuan Xuan had obtained more data, he would use it to draw a curve... Nothing less was expected from a schr like Third Young Master Yuan. He could even treat his wifes weight as if it was a mathematical question. Of course, not everyone was happy about this development. Shu Qinger felt annoyed and furious when she discovered that Mu Chenyan was pregnant. This little brat came at such a bad time! Shu Qinger was enraged when she noticed that Yuan Xuan had rejected the Old Mistress invitations to have dinner at Upper Mansion these past two days. She put the me on Mu Chenyan entirely for this. She was itching to rush over and beat Mu Chenyan up. The Old Mistress did not make any remarks. After all, Mu Chenyan was pregnant with Yuan Xuans child, and she was hoping for a grandchild all along. She had wanted Yuan Xuan to break up with that woman precisely because of this reason. Now that Mu Chenyan was pregnant, she could never mention that ever again. The Old Mistress knew full well that Qinger had feelings for Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Xuan did not reciprocate them... Everyone in the Yuan Family Mansion was still preparing for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. Yuan Xuan was making arrangements for this all along. This was a chance for Luo Hais aristocratic families to disy their influence. After Yuan Zhes murder, they could not afford to handle this carelessly. Mu Chenyan had already prepared a dress for this asion, but Yuan Xuan had banned her from wearing now that she was pregnant. How am I going to attend the banquet if you wont let me wear my nice dress? There were less than 24 hours left. Mu Chenyan nearly teared up at Yuan Xuans decision. You can just wear something casual. It wont make any difference because youre already so beautiful, Mistress. Yuan Xuan told Ah Fu to keep the dress that Mu Chenyan took out. It was a pale blue cocktail dress with a plunging neckline. He grabbed Mu Chenyan with one arm and exined, Itll be a hectic event. You cant wear that dress because youll have to wear it with high heels. I wont allow it! Mu Chenyan did know what to say. Ill get my staff to buy you some cosmetics that are specially formted for pregnant women. Ive put them in the bathroom for you. Mu Chenyan still did not know what to say. Also, you dont have to drive anymore. The seat belt will be too tight when youre driving, and itll be bad for the baby if your emotions fluctuate. Ill get Yan Jun to find you a driver to send you to work in the future! Mu Chenyan could not think of a response. Lastly, Im going to give you massages from now on, Mistress. Ive hired an experienced midwife from Germany who told me that most Jewish fathers would do this when their wives were pregnant. Mistress, would you like to try it now? Yuan Xuan made Mu Chenyan sit down upon saying this. He rubbed her shoulders and made her rx her back. Rx, Mistress. Ive only learned a little bit now, but therell be more time to do thister. Ill be able to give you better service once Ive learned more things! Mu Chenyan remained silent. Yuan Xuan, why are you being so nice to me? Little Chenyans eyes had tears in them when she said this. She was choking back sobs. Can I make a request? Will you let me wear my dress and high heels onest time for tomorrows banquet... Chapter 327 - Im Going to Marry Zheng Shuyan Once His Case Is Settled

Chapter 327: Im Going to Marry Zheng Shuyan Once His Case Is Settled

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was normal for Luo Hais aristocratic families to hold banquets. Mu Chenyan had previously experienced these festivities while she was still part of the Mu Family. She had only attended one of these events after being released from prison. That was the banquet that the Yuan Family held during the National Day. Her state of mind had changed drastically since then. As she waited for Yan Mei to return to her normal self, she had had times where she hated Yuan Xuan and times where she loved him as well. Her mind had be calmer now that she was about to be a mother soon. Without these unstable emotions, she had ceased to reject the idea of public gatherings. A theme would be set for the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. This year, Yuan Xuan had suggested that they use this opportunity to hold a charity event to raise funds. Normally, these wealthy aristocratic families have expensive but unused items at home. Instead of letting them go to waste, we should give them this opportunity to sell their items and donate the money to charity. We can put the remaining items up for auction and used the collected funds for public welfare. Yuan Xuan told Mu Chenyan his n. Mu Chenyan supported Yuan Xuans idea of helping the poor by robbing the rich entirely. Can some of the funds be allocated as financial aid for families like Sun Xus where one of the family members was killed in action? Mu Chenyan was still thinking about the victims of Nie Chaos case. She discovered through Sun Xus family that there were many other families in the same predicament as them. They already had a hard time surviving on nothing but the governments subsidies. Worst of all, they had to encounter a government official like Nie Chao. Yuan Xuan nodded and said, Of course. You can go to the storeroom at home and pick some items. Well auction them off. The Yuan Family certainly had an impressive number of antiques. Most of them were collected when the Old Master was still alive. The Old Mistress would instruct her staff to sort out the antiques that still looked decent and ce them in the main hall in Upper Mansion. The antiques of average quality and condition had been simply piled up in the storeroom. Mu Chenyan happily epted this task and took Ah Fu along with her to select the antiques. Ah Fu knew that the Yuan Family had numerous antiques, but Yuan Xuan was not the kind to decorate his house with such things. Hibiscus Garden was designed in a clean and minimalistic way. The girl had never been here before, so she could not help to be a little curious when she went in. She had helped Mu Chenyan chose a jade crescent de with an Azure Dragon (TL: Traditional Chinese symbol) design. On the other hand, Mu Chenyan had selected a Child-Sending Guanyin statue with eight different colored metals and jade embedded at the base, a pair of porcin tes, and a watercolor painting on a long scroll painted by the Yuan Dynasty painter, Wang Meng. * The banquet was held in the main hall of Luo Haisrgest seven-star hotel, the Grand Prosperity International Hotel. A line of luxury cars had already started to form at the entrance to the hotel before it was even seven oclock. Their guests included the elites of the business world and important politicians. Naturally, the security checks at the entrance were extremely strict. The visitors went through the security checks one after another with their invitation cards in hand. The items that they had brought to be auctioned also had to be dered before they were collected by the staff and moved inside in preparation for the auction. The guests could then enter the hall without being burdened by any heavy objects. A lively situation ensued as they happily chatted with each other along the way. Yuan Xuan forbade Mu Chenyan to wear her fancy dress and high heels. She had no choice but to put on light makeup and wore a simple champagne-colored set of formal wear matched with a pair of ts that the stylist had chosen for her. Although these clothes were not as beautiful or exquisite as the fancy dress, Mu Chenyan was still a cut above the rest. Fortunately, she looked good in anything because of her trimmed figure. Mu Chenyansplexion was much better now than it was a few days ago. This was due to the fact that she had just gotten preganant and Yuan Xuans culinary skills had started to show their results. She truly looked gorgeous in this outfit. The other young women in the household such as Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran would definitely be expected to dress up beautifully. Yuan Tian had surprisingly decided to attend the banquet this time and hade wearing a little ck dress. She had slim waist, long legs, and short hair. Her skin was not as white but the tone was just nice. It made her look seductive and bewitching in the dress . Several young men from the aristocratic families had already recognized Yuan Tian before she reached the main hall. This doctor certainly looked incredibly exquisite and beautiful when she was dolled up. Yuan Tian hardly attended banquets like this in the past. Now that she was here, she had instantly be the target of all the unmarried young men there. Yuan Ran was not faring so well these few days. Her rtionship with Shao Yibai had been awkward after he had revealed his true feelings to her. Yuan Zhes death had led the broken-hearted woman to chose a pearl-white dress and put on a light-colored lipstick. She looked rather haggard. Wen Ya was still the Yuan Familys eldest granddaughter-inw at the moment. However, she would be leaving the Yuan Family after this banquet. She had no children nor any discernible connections with the family and had stayed just to apany the Old Mistress. In this household, the Old Mistress was the only person who had doted on her as if she were her own child. After Yuan Zhes death, the Old Mistress had discovered that Wen Ya had been abused all along when she overheard part of her servants conversations. She was enraged and had gotten into a serious argument with Yuan Tangzhong as a result. She then promised Wen Ya that the Yuan Family would treat her like one of their own daughters and prepare the dowry for her if she was willing to marry again... All sorts of feelings welled up in Wen Yas heart. The Yuan Family had destroyed the happiness in her life, but they were also the ones who had been the kindest to her at the same time. At least the Old Mistress had truly cared for her. Wen Ya was not an arrogant person by nature. She could clearly distinguish where her gratitude and resentment were due respectively. The members of the Yuan Family in Peace Mansion were the ones who had tormented her, but she could never forget the Old Mistress kindness. Yuan Zhe was dead, and her beloved Zheng Shuyan was at deaths door. She was uncertain whether she could still find true love on earth. Mu Chenyan saw Wen Ya outside the hall. She was not wearing any makeup, d in a in dress, and . Her gaze was empty and distant, looking terribly pitiful overall. Mu Chenyan remembered when she saw Wen Ya for the first time at a banquet a year ago when she had just been released from prison. She had look brilliant then. Things might have remained the same, but people changed as time passed. When she took everything into consideration, she realized that they had all changed into entirely people now. Mu Chenyan could not help but feel sad. She pulled Wen Ya over and went to a secluded area where they took some fruit and ate them leisurely. Chenyan, Im going to leave the Yuan household after the Mid-Autumn Festival. After that, Im going to marry Zheng Shuyan once his case is settled. A peaceful and natural smile appeared on Wen Yas face when she said this. Mu Chenyan was so shocked that she nearly dropped the fruit tter that she was holding. Wen Ya, he might be locked up his whole life. Are you really going to do this? Wen Ya nodded determinedly. Her expression was devoid of any emotion, but her gaze was firm and resolute. There was not a single trace of hesitance found in her words. It doesnt matter when hes released. Ill wait for him. Ive asked about this and discovered that prisoners can get married too as long as he doesnt get sick of me. Ill visit him frequently. His father is still alive so Im going to take care of him! Mu Chenyan did not know how to respond to this. Wen Ya had spent half of her life being miserable. She decided to support her decision. The Old Mistress doesnt know about my rtionship with Zheng Shuyan yet. Shell discover it sooner orter, and I dont n to keep it from her anyway. Please help me fulfill my filial duty toward her when Im unable to visit the Yuan household in the future... Wen Ya was a naturally kind-hearted person. She was still thinking of others now. It was just that her rtionship with the Yuan family had beplicated. Mu Chenyan nodded. Ill respect your decision as long as youre happy. The Yuan Family had sent Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhuan to greet the guests at the banquet. Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo were apanying the Old Mistress in the lounge at the back. She would onlye out when the event was about to begin. Mu Chenyan saw Feng Rao in the hall. This woman was beautifully dolled up. She was wearing a blue mermaid gown that entuated her slim waist. Feng Raos gaze darted toward her when she noticed Mu Chenyan walking over. A meaningful smile appeared on her face. She waved at Mu Chenyan and held her thumb up in approval... Mu Chenyan thought of her brother. He had yet to respond despite having received her email. Panic filled her heart when she saw Feng Raos gesture. She merely nodded as she had never been close to Feng Rao. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai walked over at this moment. Mu Chenyan heard Shao Yibai ask, Is everything ready? A dazzling light faintly shed across Yuan Xuans cold eyes. He lowered his voice and said, Of course! Mu Chenyan did not know what they were talking about. She assumed that they were referring to the auction that would happen soon. Yuan Xuans expression immediately changed when he noticed the absent-minded look on her face. Mistress, are you feeling unwell? Are you tired? The banquet hasnt started, so why dont you go and rest in the lounge at the back for now if youre tired? Mu Chenyan shook her head and gave a faint smile. Since when have I been so fragile? You cant handle everything here on your own if I leave. She did not like situations like these. Other than famous public figures, the people that flocked to events like this were mostly important political officials. The Yuan Family was actually a prominent n before, and its members were growing in numbers. Who would have thought that Yuan Zhes abusive tendencies would make Wen Ya refused to attend events like this and the only person left was Mu Chenyan herself. Everyone would treat them likeughing stocks if she hid as well. Yuan Xuans heart warmed up when he realized that she was concerned for him. The man lowered his voice and whispered beside her ear, Youve worked hard, Mistress. I must give you a good massage when we get home! Mu Chenyan blushed when she heard this. This man knew that her ears had always been sensitive. When he mentioned a massage, she knew that he would end up ravaging her body. Not a single inch of her body would remain untouched by him... He was a scoundrel! Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan greeted the guests at the doorway for some time until they realized that nearly everyone was here. Once everything had settled down, Yuan Xuan asked sent someone to call the Old Mistress, Yuan Tangzhong, and Yuan Tangshuo who were resting in the lounge at the back. Mu Chenyan scanned the hall in search of something. On the other side, Yuan Tian was surrounded by several handsome and talented young men. She had no way of escaping them. Miss Yuan, I had just obtained my masters degree at University of California... Yuan Tian thought to herself, I didnt even go to college... My father and the Third Young Master had recently coborated on the development and extraction of minerals in the west. Theyre pretty much old family friends... Yuan Tian rolled her eyes. Im not close to the Yuan Family... Ive heard that Miss Yuan is a famous heart and brain surgeon in the Military Hospital... Yuan Tian smirked. Ill operate on you when you need it... Miss Yuan has such nice skin. Its pale with the slightest hint of rosiness... Yuan Tian huffed. Are you blind... Mu Chenyan could not do anything butugh and shake her head. No one could resist a beauty like her. A ck rose like Yuan Tian was much more charming and attractive than the pretentious and delicate youngdies of the aristocratic families. She had her own quirks and personality, so that was why those men found extraordinary women like her extremely alluring. Mu Chenyan decided not to disturb Yuan Tian. She did not want to ruin her chances of finding her love. Her gaze shifted to a corner where Wen Ya was speaking to a middle-aged couple in a hushed voice. She looked a little irritated. The heated argument they seemed to engage in made their faces look flushed. Mu Chenyan walked over quietly. She overheard Wen Ya scolding the couple. I cant believe youre shameless enough to attend this event. Have the Wen Family not embarrass themselves enough in Luo Hai? Chapter 328 - This Was an Outrageous Scandal! Chapter 328: This Was an Outrageous Scandal! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The middle-aged man was all the more enraged when Wen Ya said that. He raised his voice as if he wanted the world to hear what he was about to say. How am I embarrassing myself now? The middle-aged woman beside him looked rather cowardly. She tugged at the mans sleeve and murmured, Wen Youquan, you should be kinder to your daughter. How could you treat her like this when shes already gone through so much? They were Wen Yas parents! Why cant I be here when I have received an invitation from the Yuan Family? Wen Ya hasnt left the Yuan Family yet, and even if she did, shell still be a widow. With the Yuan Familys opulence, they could simply give us any amount of money aspensation and it would still be enough to support the Wen Family for half a year! Wen Youquans voice was loud. It had made several distinguished guests around them nced in their direction. Normally, the Wen Family would be considered as one of Luo Hais prominent families. However, the Wen Familys mismanagement of their estates these past few years had caused their profits to shrink significantly. They had relied on the Yuan Family to seek connections in high ces for several years. Nheless, they were happy when Yuan Zhe died. It was inevitable that people would cast indignant nces at a downtrodden man. Worse still, Wen Youquan was an utterly despicable man who remained bold and confident despite having sold his daughter. Look, this corrupted man is still as shameless as ever... Ugh, enough of that. I heard that Wen Ya killed the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family with the man whom she was cheating on him with! Is that true? Rumor has it that the man who had been arrested had also studied in Ennd before... Oh yes, thats true. A doctor turning into a ruthless killer overnight... How terrifying! This is why the Wen Family came to bepensated. It looks like they really couldnt wait... Whether it was with intention or otherwise, the people around Wen Ya were speaking so loudly that she could hear them. In the past, Wen Ya was also one of Luo Hais most exceptional socialites. Now that she had fallen from grace, they could not help but criticize her whenever they got the chance to! This was not surprising. People liked to praise others when they were doing well, but they would not hesitate to trample on them when they were down. Wen Ya regarded her parents with distaste. Resentment stirred in her heart. Her parents had yed a huge role in leading her to where she was today. She gave a sarcastic smile. Compensation? Are you really nning to ask the Yuan Family for money? Wen Youquan scowled, and just like that, this man who used to be one of Luo Hais renown entrepreneurs had disyed to the entire world the ugliness of humanity. He said without a hint of shame, Why shouldnt I? The Yuan Family can offer up so many treasures for a simple auction already. Dont tell me youre so stupid as to j leave this marriage with nothing? Wen Ya red at him and scoffed, I wasnt nning to take a single cent from the Yuan Family! I still have stocks at the National Arts Commerce that I had been managing. Wen Youquans eyes lit up when he heard this. His greedy nature had been revealed. Wen Ya chuckled bitterly. But Im sorry to inform you that youre not getting anything from the National Arts Commerce even though I have shares in thepany. Im going to keep that money and use it to take care of Zheng Shuyans family. You shameless wretch! Wen Youquans temper red when he heard that his daughter was going to give the money to someone else. Are you really going to give your money to the family of a killer when you could give it to your own parents instead? Wen Ya turned away with an exasperated look on her face. The parents of a killer are still better parents than you two! You raised me for so many years, but I was just a source of easy money to you. I was stupid enough to let you manipte me for so many years. You have ruined more than half of my life... Li Cuizhi listened as her daughter and husband argued. Neither of them seemed to want to give in to one another at all. She also heard Wen Ya insisting that she was going to marry that killer. How would the people of Luo Hai see the Wen Family after this? Her husband has died, and now she was going to marry his murderer? Wen Ya, you cant be so heartless. Your father has a point. How could you only take care of them? Whats going to happen to us next time once were old? Li Cuizhis voice sounded like it was about to crack. Before her tears could trickle down the corners of her eyes, her daughters cold lips moved. Have you forgotten about my older brother? Youve never treated me like your daughter all these years. You only cared about your son. Shouldnt you be thinking of your son at a time as desperate as this? Wen Youquan and Li Cuizhi were rendered speechless by Wen Yas words. Sorrow filled Wen Yas heart as she looked at her parents. You may not have treated me like your daughter, but Ive always been grateful for my upbringing. You should be satisfied because Ive done so many things for the Wen Family already! Well go our separate ways after this. Dont even dream about getting a single scrap from me! Wen Ya was already at the edge of exploding in fury. She had initially nned to chase Wen Youquan and his wife out, but there were too many people here now. She would only embarrass everyone. Wen Youquan snarled when he realized that he could not control his daughter anymore. He chuckled darkly and said, Do you think that I cant find another way to extort the Yuan Family? Youre too naive. I have other ways to get my money without having to use you! Why do you think were here today? Did you really assume that we merely came here to drink? Hmph! Just so you wait and see! Wen Ya did not know why, but a chilling malice rose from the depths of her heart. What are you going to do? Li Cuizhi tugged at Wen Youquanspel to stop him from talking any further. Mu Chenyan could only grasp half of what was really going on and was prepared to drag Wen Ya away to advise her not to quarrel with her parents, but the members of the Yuan Family had already appeared on the other side. Yuan Ran and Yuan Tian supported the Old Mistress while her two sons trailed behind her. Yuan Tangzhong did not seem to be in a good mental state. Nheless, this experienced man carried himself with apelling air. He had a good rtionship with most of the government officials who were in attendance today. Yuan Zhe was gone, but Yuan Tangzhongs influence still remained. Grand banquets like this had always been used as a field for a politician to measure the influence of his tactic with others. Yuan Xuan observed the people who were here today. He noticed that there were several important figures among the loyal supporters of his second uncles political party. This event is certainlyvish. It looks like that old man had certainly been expanding his influence these past few years. Shao Yibai managed to make these inferences. He raised his ss and smiled when he told Yuan Xuan his thoughts. Yuan Xuans face gave nothing away, and he did not attempt to make anyment either. The atmosphere about his person was gloomy, and his expression murderous. The mans gaze was prating and fiery. Yuan Tangzhongs path to sess was thwarted, and his age has be another major obstacle he can never ovee. He probably needs to sacrifice a lot if he still wishes to climb higher in this social circle. This is why hes frantically roping in other powerful individuals. Yuan Xuan nced at the guests as he spoke. Several officials from other parts of the country had decided to attend this banquet as well. Perhaps the Yuan Family still looked like a formidable force to the outsiders. Everyone probably thought that if they had chosen to give it all they had to support the right family, they somehow would be able to sleep better at night. However, they did not know that phenomenon like this would end soon after it began. The Yuan Family had appointed Yuan Zhuan to be the host of this banquet. Now that Yuan Zhe had passed away, Yuan Zhuan had represented the Yuan Family and made the opening remarks as one of the young men among the grandchildren. Yuan Zhuan wanted to let Yuan Xuan take his ce on stage because he was indifferent toward this event, but Yuan Xuan had rejected his offer. The Yuan Family has always emphasized the need for the juniors to respect our seniors. You should be the one up there since youre my older brother. Theres shouldnt be any talk about letting others do it. Yuan Zhuan had no choice but to agree. His opening remarks merely consisted of amicable greetings and titudes. He left the important content to Yuan Tangzhong. Yuan Zhuan passed the microphone to Yuan Tangzhong once he finished speaking. The hall quieted down. Yuan Tangzhong was dressed in Chinese-styled formal attire. He had an impressive bearing and looked like an awe-inspiring individual who was calm and serene. One could not see that he was suffering from the lost of his son. Although he had gone through painful events in the past, this experienced man was able to disy a different side of himself during this asion. He could endure more things than the average person. Yuan Tangzhong had perfect mastery with his words during this auction event that was part of the Yuan Familys banquet. His passionate speech was invigorating and had made him into a kind phnthropist who was constantly in touch with the people. Yuan Zhuan hosted the auction when it started. As most of their guests were prestigious individuals and the primary objective of the event was to raise funds for charity, the items that were up for auction were all bought almost immediately. They had managed to raise 50 million worth of funds. The amount had exceeded their expectations. The guests were very pleased with the theme of the banquet this time because they could donate money to charity while also getting an item they liked at the same time. The Yuan Family had also managed to show off a bit since as they had brought the most items out to be auctioned off. The funds were calcted and managed by the staff of a specialized charity organization. Yuan Tangzhong was ready to say his closing remarks and conclude the auction. He had just stepped onto the stage when someone yelled at him from below. Fake phnthropist! Im going to expose your shameless deeds so that everyone can see your true nature! The venue turned deadly silent, and everyone in the crowd was shocked. They shifted their attention to the source of the voice. They saw Wen Youquan charging forward before he jumped on stage and angrily red at Yuan Tangzhong. He snarled, Yuan Tangzhong, Ive waited a long time for this day. Im going to take this opportunity to let the whole of Luo Hai know how ugly you truly are! Mu Chenyan hurriedly searched for Wen Ya when she saw Wen Youquan rush forward and confront Yuan Tangzhong on stage. She saw that Wen Ya was ghastly pale. She waspletely terrified by this scene. Mu Chenyan darted over and held Wen Ya who stood there feebly. She quietly asked, Whats going on? Wen Yas entire body trembled violently. Her lips quivered but no noise escaped them. Mu Chenyan noticed the indifferent look in Yuan Xuans eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, but they did not seem bothered. The corners of his lips turned downward as he red at Yuan Tangzhong who was forcing himself to remain calm amidst the chaos on the stage. None of the security personnel came forward to pull Wen Youquan off the stage. Mu Chenyan realized then that Yuan Xuan was not stopping him on purpose. Yuan Tangzhong, youre a shameless person, toying with women like that. I came here today to show everyone the real nature of a fake phnthropist like you! The crowd burst into an uproar. Did he really fool around with other women? This information was a bit too unbelievable. What is this nonsense? Yuan Tangzhong demanded. Nonsense? Wen Youquan smirked. This downtrodden entrepreneur let out a strange sneer. He waved the folder he had in his hand and announced, Four years ago, you had coborated with others to frame the Wen Family. You took the opportunity to threaten me when I took Wen Ya to the banquet. After that, you drugged my daughter and raped her. This is the proof! What? The crowd was shocked! Yuan Tangzhongs face turned pale instantly. Below the stage, Wen Yas body turned limp when she heard this. Fortunately, Mu Chenyan caught her just in time. She shifted her gaze to her father at once and held her breath, unable to make a sound. All she could do was pointing a trembling finger at Wen Youquan. On the other side, Yuan Xuan had noticed that Wen Ya was acting strangely. Several servants came over to help Mu Chenyan support Wen Ya. You made that up! Thats nonsense! Hurry up and get this maniac off the stage! Yuan Tangzhong finally reacted. He jabbed an angry finger at Wen Youquan. Their rtionship had be extremely awkward with what had happened just now. They were originally rtives by marriage, but now Wen Youquan had suddenly came forward and used Yuan Tangzhong of drugging and raping his daughter-inw... Wen Youquan snickered. He noticed that none of the security personnel around them hade over. He became more arrogant when he realized that Yuan Tangzhong was isted and cut off from help. The crowd below the stage wanted to hear what he was going to say next. Wen Youquan took something out of his document pouch to hit the final nail on Yuan Tangzhongs coffin. There were photos taken probably about four years ago. They showed several people forcing Wen Ya to drink the alcohol served during the banquet... Another photo showed the father and son of the Yuan Family carrying Wen Ya to the hotels VIP presidential suite... Although there were no pictures of them in bed, these photos were enough to cause everyones imagination to roam. Everyone was dumbfounded by this revtion. The crowd descended into chaos, but they had yet to realize how this issue actually started. Yuan Tangzhong had trouble believing these photos when he saw them. He said in a quivering voice, What is that? Proof? You must be joking! Your daughter desired the Yuan Familys power and slept with Yuan Zhe on her own will. After that, she forced him to marry her because she was pregnant! Yuan Zhe was a single man, and those two young people were merely having a good time together. Both of them did it willingly. Why are you trying to insist that she was raped? The Yuan Family also took responsibility when we discovered that Wen Ya was pregnant. Yuan Zhe even married Wen Ya, but her irresponsibility made her lost the child... Everyone thought that Yuan Tangzongs retort was somewhat a reasonable one. It was very likely that Wen Ya would leap at the chance to sleep with Yuan Zhe because the Yuan Family was influential. Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe were married, but Yuan Zhe was now dead. This made Wen Youquans argument earlier seemed like he was looking for an opportunity to extort money from his inws. Wen Youquan stared at Yuan Tangzhong. It was not surprising that one of Luo Hais important politicians like himself coulde up with such excuses. He had a clear train of thought and the calmest mind. I knew that you wouldnt admit it. Thats why I made preparations in advance! Wen Youquan continued to expose the other man. There are two DNA test reports here. One reportpared your DNA to the baby that Wen Ya miscarried while the other one tested the DNA of Yuan Zhe and that child! If you dont understand, Ill read it out for you! Wen Ya noticed the strange smile on Wen Youquans face. He looked at Yuan Tangzhong and sneered, When Wen Ya got pregnant that year, the one who fathered her baby was you! It seemed as though a heavy bomb hadnded and detonated itself in the middle of the crowd. This was earth-shattering news! This appalling incident had actually urred in the Yuan household. The father and his son were basically so immoral that they took turns with the same woman. The guests consisted of important societal figures and some politicians. They did not have the clearest consciences, but none of them would ever stoop as low as him. The crowd became restless as everyone began to discuss about what they had just heard. This was an outrageous scandal! Yuan Tangzhongs trusted advisors were stupefied as well. They stood frozen in shock. Everything had happened in such an abrupt manner. Everything had happened in such a short period of time but had developed in a direction that they could not control. The Old Mistress watched everything unravel from the sidelines. She could not make heads or tails of this... No! The breath of air that Wen Ya had held in her chest finally escaped and rushed through her throat. The terribly weak woman let out a miserable howl of grief before she fainted. Wen Ya never realized that her father was so evil. Four years ago, he had pushed her into the pits of hell. She had to endure Yuan Zhes torture since then and had spent half of her life being miserable. Today, her father had actually revealed all of these humiliating incidents about her to everyone, not caring about the bond they shared as father and daughter at all! Chills ran down Mu Chenyans spine when she finally took in what her father had said. One of the servants supported Wen Ya and took her to a sofa on the side while Mu Chenyan held her tightly. She sobbed and said, How could they be so cruel? All of you are so inhumane. Wen Ya is innocent... Her eyes fell on Yuan Xuan, Yuan Zhuan, and Yuan Tangzhong. The men in the Yuan Family made her feel sick! Wen Ya had been used as cannon fodder and a chess piece in this conflict of theirs. If it was not for his supporters, Wen Youquan would never have dared to disturb the Yuan Familys banquet, much less to point out Yuan Tangzhongs shorings openly. Mu Chenyan felt miserable.

Chapter 329: Id Rather Kill Myself Than Hurt You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This incident was destined to be the most sensational news in Luo Hai this year. It was also the biggest scandal! From the sidelines, Xue Meiwei heard everything clearly. She had known that Yuan Zhe had fooled around with the Wen Familys daughter at that time. That woman came to their house when she discovered that she was pregnant. After that, the Old Mistress and Yuan Tangzhong took responsibility by forcing Yuan Zhe to marry Wen Ya. She had never expected that it was actually a scandalous affair! That man and his son had messed around with the same woman. She was betrayed twice over. Her husband had betrayed her, and so had her son... You shameless man! Xue Meiwei responded by rushing on stage immediately. She did not care about anyone elses opinions. She had lost all sense of reason and repeatedly hit Yuan Tangzhong. She hadpletely abandoned her elegant demeanor as a nobledy. Yuan Tangzhong blocked off her blows. He wailed frantically, You stupid woman. Ill exin... Ill exin when we get home... Youre disgusting! You even forced our son to marry that woman... Xue Meiwei realized that she was the only person in this household who was left in the dark. She could not help herself from being blinded by rage. Dont listen to his lies. I only slept with her once. How could she get pregnant... The crowd burst into an uproar. Xue Meiwei murmured, You... You really... Ive had it with you. She rushed forward and scratched her husband while shrieking. It was a chaotic scene. Yuan Tangzhong was consumed by anxiety when he realized that he had blurted out a secret. Xue Meiwei attacked him while the crowd gossiped below the stage. The man was normally an arrogant person who towered over others, but he suddenly felt as though he had fallen into a bottomless pit... He caught a glimpse of Yuan Xuans unaffected gaze and indifferent expression while he was panicking. He noticed that neither the security personnel nor his servants came to his aid during this crisis. Even hisrades from political circles ignored him. Suddenly, he realized what was going on. You ungrateful boy! Youve finally made your move... Suddenly, Yuan Tangzhong spat out a mouthful of blood that sttered in the distance! His gaze was filled with fury and rage when he raised his head. He yelled, I shouldve gotten rid of you a long time ago... You wouldnt have been able to see me like this today... Everyones eyes darted toward Yuan Xuan when Yuan Tangzhongs gazended on him. The young sessor was another extremely powerful individual in the Yuan Family Mansion. He was currently ring at his uncle coldly. Yuan Tangzhong had a glorious past, but he was now in a miserable position. This powerful man had suffered a heavy blow in front of the young and old generations of Luo Hais aristocratic families, and even his own friends and rtives. He widened his eyes and took several steps backwards. Suddenly, he tripped and tumbled painfully off the stage. The stage was not very high, it was less than half a meter tall. It was merely two tforms that were stacked on top of each other. However, Yuan Tangzhong did not get up immediately after he fell. Heid there face-down, his body did not make a single movement. Xue Meiwei stood on the sidelines in a daze. When she saw her husband like this, she stopped being unreasonable and abandoned her desire to make a scene. She shrieked, Help! The Old Master... The Old Master has fainted! The Old Mistress stared nkly and remained frozen in ce for a long time. She returned to her senses when she heard her daughter-inw shouting. She frantically grabbed Yuan Tangshuo. Go and check on your brother quickly... Yuan Tangshuo did not react to the unexpected incident immediately. He knew that Yuan Xuan was not on good terms with his second uncle, but he had never expected that the situation would escte to this extent. Yuan Tangshuo rushed over and held Yuan Tangzhong. At the moment, the mans expression was nk while his gaze was focused on one spot. His mind seemed fuzzy and his breathing was uneven. Second brother! Naturally, Yuan Tangshuo understood that his brother had suffered a stroke. He yelled loudly, but Yuan Tangzhong did not react at all. Xue Meiwei had trouble breathing while she stood on the side. She deeply regretted her previous actions. Tangzhong, this cant be happening. What am I going to do if you die... Xue Meiwei wept mournfully. The guests who were watching the situation unfold quickly took their cellphones out and called the ambnce. It was no surprise that the crowd was still stunned. After all, this turn of events had urred within a short span of ten minutes. Everyone only realized the severity of the situation when Yuan Tangzhong fell andnded head-first below the stage. Yuan Tian rushed over. She ignored the fact that she was wearing a cocktail dress and simply bent down. She opened Yuan Tangzhongs eyelids before she turned to her father and said, Father, second uncle had a stroke. Lets send him to the hospital quickly! The ambnce arrived in a sh. They were lucky that the Military Hospital was very close to the area. Most of the guests were cleared out from the venue shortly before after Yuan Tangzhong was taken away. Wen Ya became clear-headed after Mu Chenyan took care of her. Wen Yaid on the bed in the lounge. Her entire body was freezing despite being covered by a nket. Wen Ya shuddered. Mu Chenyan ran over the moment she noticed. Mu Chenyans eyes were slightly swollen and her voice was hoarse. She asked, How do you feel? Wen Ya wanted to say, I feel like dying! However, she swallowed her words just as they were about to leave her mouth. She had no right to die. She was merely a walking corpse now. Wen Ya, dont be afraid. Youre the victim in this situation. You have to stay strong even if the Yuan Family doesnt give you justice. Ill fight for you! Mu Chenyan choked back sobs as she spoke. The Yuan Family had tyrannized her. These people were truly immoral. Mu Chenyan thought of the injustices that she and Wen Ya faced, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She could not stop hating the Yuan Family when she realized their true nature. They were essentially using their power to abuse others. Wen Ya shut her eyes as tears trickled down their corners. Mu Chenyans palm was cold andpletely devoid of warmth when she held her hand. Chenyan, thank you... But getting justice wont change anything. How am I going to keep living and face the rest of the world? Wen Ya was clearly hiding a lot of grief while she cried. Mu Chenyans heart shattered when she saw this. She stroked Wen Yas forehead and murmured, Yuan Tangzhong was just taken to the hospital because he suffered a stroke. Additionally, Yuan Zhe is dead! The viins have been punished. Wen Ya, you must stay strong. None of this is your fault! Wen Ya forced a smile when she heard this conclusion. She mumbled dispiritedly, I knew long ago that Yuan Zhe wasnt the father of that child... I saw Yuan Zhes medical checkup report by ident. His sperm count was very low. I did some research online and discovered that it was difficult to get pregnant in situations like these. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhe was an arrogant man who never considered that an issue... A miserable smirk appeared on Wen Yas face when she said that. Mu Chenyan was shocked. She assumed that Wen Ya had only discovered today that Yuan Zhe had not fathered her child. Shadows of hatred stirred in the bottom of Wen Yas heart. She continued, Yuan Tangzhong probably knew about Yuan Zhes health problems beforehand. Thats why... He... Forced Yuan Zhe to marry me and keep the baby... Wen Ya was overwhelmed by a feeling of nausea. Her stomach turned every time she recalled this issue. Wen Ya shoved Mu Chenyan away before she crouched on the ground and heaved. This was a torturous mental illness. Mu Chenyan was frightened. She held Wen Yas shoulders tightly and tearfully said, Its all over. Your nightmare has ended! After much difficulty, Wen Ya managed to calm down. She leaned against the side of the bed and got up. A strange enlightened look suddenly appeared on her deathly pale face. My nightmare has ended, but the pain still remains. Chenyan, do you think that the Yuan Familys second son ispletely ruined? Wen Ya seemed to be anticipating something. Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya wanted her to personally confirm this matter. Mu Chenyan nodded. She replied, Yes. Wen Ya was momentarily distracted. Suddenly, she closed her eyes. Ive seen the ending that I yearned for! Mu Chenyan did not know what she meant. Unexpectedly, Wen Yas head smashed against the wall! Mu Chenyans heart was filled with sorrow when she saw that Wen Ya was determined to die while she was right next to her. She instinctively reached out her hand to desperately try and pull Wen Ya back. Mu Chenyan tried to pull her backwards, but Wen Yas head violently bashed against the wall... * Hibiscus Garden Mu Chenyan dragged her exhausted body back home. She looked around miserably. Her heart was filled with sorrow. Wen Ya had barely escaped the clutches of death, but her beautiful forehead was marred by five stitches. Mu Chenyans emotions had been deeply stirred when she witnessed her old friends suffering. She did not sleep until Yuan Xuan returned at night. The mans body was chilly. He went to take a shower and change his clothes before he crawled into bed. Yuan Xuan sighed in relief when he held the delicate and beautiful woman in his arms. Mu Chenyan opened her eyes when she felt the mans breath against her back. She got up and turned on the tablemp before she red angrily at him. Yuan Xuans strategy had certainly turned out well! Why arent you asleep? Yuan Xuan reached out to pull her toward him. However, he had not expected that Mu Chenyan would push his hand away and avoid his affections. The woman muttered, Yuan Xuan, you gave Wen Youquan that information! Mu Chenyan stated this as a matter of fact. She was not asking him a question. Wen Youquan was a greedy and shameless man by nature. He would not have waited until today if he had that information all this time. He would surely have used it to threaten the Yuan Familys second son long ago. Everything had been carefully nned over the course of three to four years. As this spanned over such a long period of time, it was enough to prove that Yuan Xuan had a dark and terribly cunning mind. He made the necessary preparations, concealed his strength, and bided his time for several years so that he could ensure Yuan Tangzhongs downfall. However, Mu Chenyan had not expected that he wouldpletely overlook Wen Yas fate when both the Yuan Familys second son and the Wen Family were in the palm of his hand. Would you be able to live with yourself if Wen Ya had died tonight? Mu Chenyan openly med him. Yuan Xuan did not try to lie to her. Traces of leftover bloodlust shed in his dark pupils. Suddenly, he reached out and embraced Mu Chenyan before he pushed her down against therge bed. Our fate is predestined. I merely used the truth to my advantage. Wen Yas fate would have remained the same even if tonights incident didnt ur. I wasnt the one who made her suffer! Mu Chenyan struggled vigorously when she heard this, but the man was holding both of her arms down. She red at Yuan Xuans face that was inches from her own. He suddenly seemed unfamiliar and cold-blooded. Let go! Yuan Xuan tightened his grip. He pressed his body against the womans supple and sweet-smelling skin. Their bodies rubbed against each other as she frantically struggled. Yuan Xuan gulped before his hoarse voice grew deeper. Little Chenyan, I know that you feel sorry for Wen Ya, but Im just being honest. Im not the cause of her suffering. However, Ill admit that I used this conclusion to benefit myself. Illpensate Wen Ya in full for everything that the Yuan Family owes her. Please dont be angry, okay? Mu Chenyan turned her face away. She choked back sobs and murmured, I know that you werent the one who harmed her, but I cant just let this go... Mu Chenyan was speechless at the thought of Wen Ya lying in the hospital. Yuan Xuan pressed his forehead against hers while the tips of their noses touched. You and I are mere mortals. We cant relieve anyone of their suffering. The only person that Ive disappointed right now is you. Im going to spend the rest of my life taking good care of you! Yuan Xuans breath scrambled Mu Chenyans thoughts. When she moved her arms, Yuan Xuan realized that he was holding her too tightly. He hurriedly loosened his grip. Mu Chenyans arms were wrapped around his neck. Yuan Xuans entire body trembled when she pressed her warm lips against his Adams apple and corbone. He lowered his head and met her starry eyes. Yuan Xuan, youre too cruel to your enemies. What would you do if I became your enemy one day... Id rather kill myself than hurt you! Chapter 330 - I’m Here to Tell You a Story

Chapter 330: Im Here to Tell You a Story

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Luo Hai was hit by a storm as autumn steadily progressed. Traces of cold air seeped through the white window frames and entered the hospital. Wen Ya had recently endured a hellish experience, but there was a faint smile on her face. Yuan Tangzhongy on the hospital bed on the opposite side of her. He managed to survive after undergoing an emergency operation thatsted 14 hours. Are you still alive? murmured Wen Ya. Her forehead was bandaged with gauze. She wore a striped hospital gown that was identical to his. Her abnormally paleplexion made it look as though she had just returned from the underworld. The bedridden man could only move his eyes while the rest of his body was rendered motionless. He stared at Wen Ya. I was really worried that you were dead. I wouldnt be able to tell you this if that was the case! Wen Ya moved a chair over and sat down. Her body was feeble and exhausted, but she was still iparably strong beneath the surface. Youre probably only alive today because you need to be punished! Wen Ya did not think that she was going too far. After all, she was the victim in this situation. Nevertheless, she still wanted to vent her anger. I bet youre wondering why I came over to speak to you. Well, Im here to tell you a story. Wen Ya spoke softly, but the smirk in the corners of her eyes was bone-piercingly cold. Xue Meiwei had returned home to rest as she had stayed up throughout the night. Additionally, Wen Ya had sent the young nurse away. The nurse assumed that there would be no problems since there were surveince cameras around. Three years ago, a young woman in the Zong He Psychiatric Sanatorium met an uncle from her foster family for the first time. This woman had led a miserable life. She was also suffering from a psychological disorder known as the Electraplex! Wen Ya shifted her gaze toward the man on the bed while she spoke. He was still conscious despite being paralysed. Wen Ya knew that Yuan Tangzhong understood her because his contracted pupils told her that he was terrified. The young woman was in love with her uncle. She didnt care about anything else. She was young, beautiful, and lively. Her lustful uncle couldnt resist her despite knowing that she was mentally ill. On the surface, he seemed like an extremely earnest political leader in Luo Hai. However, secretly he was a wolf in sheeps clothing. Wen Ya paused before she chuckled. Dont get riled up, father! Wen Ya yelled ironically. The bedridden mans breathing seemed more frantic now. He opened his lips while saliva trickled out. The woman slept with her uncle. She was ecstatic but also slightly afraid when she discovered that she was pregnant. She was happy because she assumed that the old man would marry her. However, she was also worried that other people would discover their improper rtionship! Of course, I was very much in awe of her uncle because he spared no effort to conceal everything. He hid the young woman in an expensive apartment once she was discharged from the mental hospital. This was the secret ce where they used to meet in private. In other words, he had bought an expensive home for his beloved mistress. Her uncle removed all the surveince cameras in this apartment to ensure their safety and privacy. He also wanted to prevent people from sneakily taking photos of him when he went to the apartment to meet with this woman in secret! However, the woman couldnt endure the loneliness. While she was pregnant, she met another woman whom she believed she could trust. She shared her worries with her new friend. Regrettably, her friend was actually her lovers daughter-inw! When Wen Ya said this, she felt grateful that they shared the same psychologist. Wen Ya had suffered a severe mental illness after she miscarried. At that time, Zhao Ruoxin who was pretending to be Shu Qinger had also been forced to visit a psychologist... Father, Im sure you already know who this story is about. Youve probably also realized that theres a reason why youre alive today. Am I right? A sense of irony was hidden behind Wen Yas bitter smile. As Yuan Tangzhongs pupils widened, the numbers on the heart rate monitor were thrown into chaos... Chapter 331 - Please Give Me Some of the Soil Under the Japanese Banana Tree

Chapter 331: Please Give Me Some of the Soil Under the Japanese Banana Tree

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong had no control over his body, but his mind was still fully conscious. The traces of panic in the depths of his pupils showed the outside world that he was still alive. He heard Wen Ya clearly. His entire body shivered as a chill swept across him. Dont get worked up. Im not done with this story yet. Youll regret it if you die like this. Wen Ya saw the fear in Yuan Tangzhongs eyes. The corners of her lips turned downwards, but dimples appeared on her cheeks. No one noticed that there was something unusual about Zhao Ruoxin. They assumed that she was Shu Qinger all along. They thought that news of Yuan Xuans engagement had upset Qinger and made her distraught. They knew that she was acting strangely in many ways, but they didnt pay much attention to it. Frankly, I didnt think much of it either. However, Zhao Ruoxin fought with me when she discovered my identity. She invited me to her apartment the day before Yuan Xuans wedding and argued with me again. I dont know how she found out about the disgusting things that you did to me. She was naive and stupid enough to believe that I only got close to her to steal her lover... She yelled loudly to humiliate me. She wanted the whole world to know about our affair... Wen Ya suppressed her desire to retch while she said this. She had never met such a brainless woman. She felt likeughing when she thought of Zhao Ruoxin. That woman assumed that everyone else had an Electraplex like her. She truly believed that Wen Ya actually liked that perverted old man. She fell when I pushed her during our fight. When I saw the blood running down her thighs, I remembered my own condition when I miscarried in the past! Wen Yas face was pale while her fingertips were faintly trembling. She felt as though she was reliving a nightmare when she recalled that scene. I wanted to save her at first, but I was worried that she would stab me in the back if I helped her. I decided to flee instead. Wen Ya took a deep breath when she said this. She lifted her head and nced at Yuan Tangzhong. Her deep gaze wasced with resentment. If Im not wrong... It was you... You killed that woman. Am I right? The bedridden mans body trembled uncontrobly when Wen Ya arrived at that conclusion. It seemed like she had exposed his darkest secret, hidden in the depths of his heart. Yuan Tangzhongs reaction confirmed Wen Yas suspicions. The woman sneered. That foolish woman Zhao Ruoxin definitely did something that threatened your political position, right? Resentment manifested in Yuan Tangzhongs gaze. Wen Ya believed that he would leap up right now if he could. He would tell her that those who stood in his way would surely die. When you reached the apartment, you saw that Zhao Ruoxin was showing signs of a miscarriage. You were inspired by a malicious desire that told you to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of that woman. Although Yuan Tangzhong did not say anything when Wen Ya confronted him, Wen Ya gradually managed to confirm her theories by looking for clues in his gaze. I wouldnt feel sorry for a demon like you even if you died over ten thousand times! Wen Ya spat disdainfully. How could the heavens forgive him when everything had already been recorded? * Wen Ya was hospitalized for several days, but no one from the Wen household came to visit her. Frankly, they were too afraid to appear before her. Mu Chenyan visited Wen Ya in the hospital. She brought along chicken soup that Ah Fu cooked. Wen Yas forehead was bandaged. Her thin figure leaned against the railing in front of the window as she stared nkly into the distance. Mu Chenyan pushed open the door and entered. She muttered, Wen Ya? The woman turned her head. Her gaze was empty despite the numerous trials and tribtions that she had endured. Chenyan, why are you here again? Ill be discharged tomorrow. Wen Ya pulled a chair over and passed it to Mu Chenyan as she spoke. The food that Mu Chenyan brought was quickly ced on the little dining table. Wen Yas appetite had yet to return since the banquet. She barely ate anything while she had been hospitalized for the past few days. Frankly, she could not consume anything without feeling sick. However, she had finally regained some of her desire to eat when she saw the food that Mu Chenyan brought. Chenyan, I need to ask you for a small favor, murmured Wen Ya after they finished eating. Mu Chenyan leaned closer to her. Of course, Ill help you. Tell me what you need. Mu Chenyan did not know why she was being so loyal. Perhaps she was reminded of her previously helpless self when she saw Wen Ya now. The members of the Mu Family were not much kinder than those of the Wen Family. They had abandoned her when she was imprisoned for two years. Nheless, she was a benevolent person who never held any grudges against her brother and father after her release. They were her family! I left some things in Peace Mansion. Could you help me bring them over? I cant go back now. Xue Meiwei wont just let everything go if she sees me... A troubled expression showed on Wen Yas face as she spoke. Alright, Ill go back and get them for you. You just have to tell me what they are. The servant in Peace Mansion, Little Cui, was still there. She knew everything that was in the house. Wen Ya nodded and said, Ill give you a list soon. You can just take the things that are listed down. You dont have to worry because these are all my personal belongings. Im not going to touch a single thing that belongs to the Yuan Family. Mu Chenyan watched as Wen Ya meticulously wrote down the things she needed on a piece of paper. They simply consisted of several old diaries, autograph books, and certificates. Mu Chenyan carefully put away the list. She recalled how Wen Ya had previously advised her to think about her future before she left. Now that Wen Ya was leaving the Yuan Family, she stubbornly refused to take a single cent. Mu Chenyan nced at Wen Ya. She whispered, What are you nning to do after this? I told you that I was going to marry Zheng Shuyan. But I havent told him that yet, of course. Im worried that hell change his mind about me... Wen Ya quietly lowered her head as she spoke. I dont have anything now. I dont have any respect and Ive lost my dignity... Mu Chenyan held Wen Yas hand and stopped her from muttering. This isnt your fault. If I could, Id take you to see Zheng Shuyan! * Mu Chenyan did not go directly to Hibiscus Garden when she returned to the mansion. Instead, she went to Peace Mansion first. She knew that Xue Meiwei would be taking care of Yuan Tangzhong in the hospital now. This was the most convenient time to take Wen Yas belongings since their servant would be the only person at home. Mu Chenyan walked around the little garden and passed the fence below the veranda. She noticed that Peace Mansions courtyard looked bare. She recalled how this ce was once considered a status symbol. After all, Luo Hais most important individuals had lived here. Nheless, it looked remarkably miserable and dpidated now. Little Cui frantically ran over and weed Mu Chenyan when she saw her. She had no idea why she came to Peace Mansion. Third Young Mistress, may I help you? Mu Chenyan ryed Wen Yas instructions. Little Cui hurriedly took the list upstairs. Before she left, she remembered to serve Mu Chenyan a cup of tea. She said, Third Young Mistress, you can wait here. Ill go and get the Eldest Young Mistress things now. Mu Chenyan nodded. She sat on the bench on the porch and waited. The nts that grew in the little garden in the courtyard were evergreen trees that had green leaves all year round. Since Luo Hais climate was hot and damp, the trees still appeared lush in the autumn. The only w in this exquisite little garden was the tall Japanese banana tree with wilted leaves. Mu Chenyan still remembered this Japanese banana tree. She likeding here with Yuan Tian when they were still children. They would steal the banana leaves and use them as fans. Yuan Tian loved taking the leaves and pretending to be Princess Iron Fan. Meanwhile, she would force Mu Chenyan to be Bull Demon King or Red Boy... 1 This Japanese banana tree had been well taken care of for several years. She never expected that it would look like this today. Mu Chenyan got up and regretfully stroked the withered leaves on the tree. Just then, Little Cui came outside. She could not help but sigh when she saw Mu Chenyan leaning against the tree. It seems like nts have feelings just like humans. I think that this tree had deep affections. Mu Chenyan took the bundle from Little Cui. The things that Wen Ya wanted were all packed inside. This tree fell sick when the Eldest Young Mistress stopped returning after the Eldest Young Master was murdered. In the beginning, I carefully tended to it because I was worried that it would die. The Eldest Young Mistress really pampered this tree. I never imagined that it would die without her in the end. Little Cui sighed. Mu Chenyan turned to look at the tree upon hearing that. She quietly asked, Are you saying that this tree only fell sick recently? Little Cui nodded. Ya Na used to tend to the garden before she ran away. Additionally, the other servants in the house have been dismissed. Thats why Im taking care of it now. This tree was fine before this. It only started to wither after the Eldest Young Master met with that ident. I was too afraid to act on my own and uproot this tree because I havent seen the Eldest Young Mistress after all this time. I decided to just keep the wilted leaves here. Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up inside Mu Chenyans heart. She could neither exin nor understand it. She turned around and gazed at her surroundings. She asked, Were there other nts here originally? Little Cui looked over and pointed towards the surroundings of the Japanese banana tree. Yes, there were other nts here initially, but they got sick for some reason and withered to death. I pulled them out and threw them away. I just recently added soil here. Mu Chenyan felt a lump forming in her throat when she heard that. She turned around and instructed Little Cui, saying, Please give me some of the soil under the Japanese banana tree and put it in this bag. * Mu Chenyan took the bag of soil to Su Qingcheng. She needed her help to ask the people in the forensic department to do aboratory test on theposition of the soil. Su Qingcheng knew that something was wrong in the Yuan household. She could not help but feel curious when Mu Chenyan brought the bag of soil over. Currently, they need to doboratory tests on evidence from other cases. Where did you get this soil? Whats it for? I should let them know. Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyan shake her head when she said this. Qingcheng, I cant tell you that. Im just making a random guess. Please ask your colleagues from the forensic department to test it when they have time. They dont have to dy their usual work for this. Su Qingcheng decided to drop the subject when she realized that Mu Chenyan would not tell her the truth. Yuan Xuan was swamped with work during this period. Inevitably, he became anxious when he heard that Mu Chenyan had gone out for an entire day and had yet to return home. He called Mu Chenyan before he sent Yan Jun to pick her up. Recently, Yuan Xuan frequently left and came home at different times. Mu Chenyan did not know what was keeping him busy. Hibiscus Garden was extremely quiet at night. Yuan Xuan did note home for dinner while Mu Chenyan only ate a small amount. Yuan Xuan had taken the cats away. An expert told him that it was inadvisable to let pregnant womene into contact with pets because they could easily be infected with parasites. The two little innocent creatures were temporarily entrusted to Yuan Tian in Tranquility Mansion. The two creatures gazed pitifully at Mu Chenyan before they were sent away. The image still lingered in her mind. Little Ginger Fur Ball whined, Meow meow, Ill miss you, mommy... Briquet seemed to say, Meow meow, were innocent. Damn expert... Mu Chenyan crawled into bed early and went to sleep because there was nothing to entertain her. She managed to sleep well tonight. However, she had no idea that her brother, Mu Chenwu, and Yuan Xuan were engaged in a life-or-death battle in the waters of the South China Sea...

Chapter 332: The Winners Act like Kings While the Losers Pay for Their Sins

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenwu discovered that Yuan Tangzhong had met with disaster during the Yuan Familys banquet. He realized that he would be the next one to suffer tragedy if he did not take action now. He had gathered almost a thousand of his subordinates. They consisted of the scum of society, such as criminals. This massive but secret contingent was based in the construction site in Green Smoke Mountain that was used to n battles. They would be easily discovered if their operations and goals were too grand. They avoided being captured by Yuan Xuan because the Yuan Familys second son had been protecting them before this. Now that they lost their shield, hiding here was no different than waiting for death. Shao Yibai brought elite soldiers from Capital City along with several other men. These men apanied him to ride horses and engage in shooting practice when he was bored. They were stationed near the Yuan Family Mansion. After all, Yuan Xuan spared no effort when setting up the mansions defenses. It was impossible to prate the perimeter because there were numerous hidden lookouts there. Mu Chenwus target and primary focus was Yuan Xuans oil field in the South China Sea. Most of the Yuan Familys financial and material resources were concentrated there. This was a national project. If Yuan Xuan lost this tform, it would be impossible for him to turn the tide in Luo Hai, much less Country Z. Mu Chenwu enlisted all of his forces from the very start. He had set his sights on the ships that belonged to the South China Sea Oil Field and the Yuan Family that were entering and leaving the port. However, Yuan Xuan had meticulously thought this through. He marked the routes of his ships, such as when they entered and left the ports, as ssified information concerning his business. This showed how much he valued that oil field. Obviously, Mu Chenyan was unaware of this. Unfortunately, Mu Chenwu had previously wasted a lot of time poring over the file that had given him. ... The first light of dawn appeared in the east. The silent port stirred as the cold early morning breeze blew past. The surface of the sea and the sky were the exact same shade. Shen Muqiu watched as the helmsman adjusted the ships heading as it sailed forward. The manzilyid down on the deck and gazed at the seagulls in the sky that were chasing the ship. He poured himself a ss of red wine while crossing his legs. The sky felt like a warm nket while the world was so quiet that he felt like thest person on earth. Days like these were truly the best. Shen Muqiu squinted when he recalled how easily the fleet that was used for military andmercial purposes had been dispatched. The Yuan Family were the only ones in Luo Hai who could do this as they pleased. Shen Muqiu had a dream when he was younger. He wanted to sail a yacht and find a route that would allow him to explore uninhabited inds. However, he could not find the location of these uninhabited inds. He also needed a highly experienced crew that could sail a sturdy and strong seafaring ship to maneuver past the numerous undercurrents. In the end, the dream that he had in his youth was dyed day after day. Nheless, his restless nature never changed. Ennd was one of the oldest nations known for its sea voyages. When Shen Muqiu was exiled overseas for several years, he learned numerous sailing techniques and maritime battle tactics while he was in Ennd. Mr Shen, are you sure that Mu Chenwu will proceed from this route? The captain had spent several days with Shen Muqiu at sea, but he had no idea what Third Young Master Yuans friend was waiting for. The fleet that Shen Muqiu led consisted of four light ships of medium tonnage and two great ships ofrge tonnage. The advanced configuration of the weapons allowed these six ships to resemble normal trading vessels while being able to instantly transform when needed. They formed a small-scale ambush fleet. They were a formidable force that could take down multiple enemies at a time. I dont know. Shen Muqiu swirled the wine in his ss and smiled as he spoke. The captain was speechless. Yuan Xuan had ced the fleet on standby for the past few days. However, he had not mentioned when they wouldunch their attack, nor had he informed them of the exact location. The Young Master of the Shen Family seemed to be taking them sightseeing around the massive South China Sea. When were they going to act? The captain watched as Shen Muqiu leisurely sipped his wine and watched the sky. A sense of gloominess could not help but stir in his heart. ... Shen Muqiu observed the sea through his binocrs for some time. He finally saw four seafaring vessels marked by blue gulls. These ships were slowly travelling along the designated route. The man turned over like a carp before he leaped up. He waved at the captain and whispered, Go after those four Blue Gulls! Our six ships will circle the perimeter. Follow the instructions and formations that I mentioned earlier. Dont get too close to avoid being discovered. There were almost one hundred crew members on each ship that Shen Muqiu led. Some of them were elites that he had brought with him, while the rest were highly experienced and battle-hardened sailors that Yuan Xuan had allocated to him. The group of men gathered in one ce. When they heard that they were to move out immediately, they could not help but roll up their sleeves in anticipation of the battle. These two ships looked like normal trading vessels, but they would never meet the requirements for maritime vessels if they were steered in the regr channels. They moved extremely slowly and needed to be sailed cautiously. It was no surprise that Shen Muqiu seemed unenthusiastic earlier and only now did he appear excited. They used satellite phones tomunicate at sea. Yuan Xuan was in a helicopter that was about to take off at the airport near the dock. He was about to meet his wise and resourceful brother-inw whom he spent two whole years pursuing throughout Luo Hai... ... Mu Chenwus ship had not encountered any obstacles after sailing for almost an hour. He could not help but feel slightly excited. He had made the necessary arrangements at the port. A ship that was carrying two containers of specialized fire bricks woulde into close contact with the Yuan Familys oil field fleet before they docked... When the moment arrived, everyone in Luo Hai would discover that the Yuan Family was unable to manage their fleets properly. This error would lead to an explosion at the South China Sea port when their fleet collided with another ship... He needed to know the specific uses, schedules, routes, and rules for all Zhong Heng Internationals ships that entered and left the port. ... On the offshore tform, he would personally direct the group, including the four trading vessels that hade prepared. He wanted to ensure that the Yuan Family of Luo Hai would never rise again. He was going to destroy Yuan Xuans economic lifeline to do that. Aside from the Yuan Family, the Shao Family of Capital City was also involved with this oil field. Young Master, several medium-sized cargo ships have been following us this whole time. Ive had a constant uneasy feeling throughout this operation. Why must youe along? You should just wait at the coast for us to give you the news! The butler who had apanied Mu Feng for many years could notprehend Mu Chenwus insane behavior. They were going up against the Yuan Family, but there was no need for Mu Chenwu to personally attend to this matter. Nheless, his young master seemed overly persistent. Uncle Li, you dont understand. This is a contest between me and Yuan Xuan! A malicious aura enveloped Mu Chenwus entire body while his sinister eyes gazed at the surface of the water where the sky and the sea met. The stormy sea tossed about forming turbulent waves. The man sneered. I could use the Mu Familys remaining riches to hide in a city where no one knew me. Id be able to drift along and live a meaningless life for the rest of my days. However, I wouldnt be satisfied with a life like that. Do you understand? The old butler had spent many years by Mu Fengs side. He had lived through the Mu Familys glory days and their tragic downfall. The young mistress was locked up in prison while her mother fell into aa due to a car ident. Mu Chenwu had frantically escaped with Mu Feng and they hid in various ces for over half a year. Mu Feng was diagnosed with cancer, but he could only treat himself while they hid in the construction site. He was basically waiting to die. These bleak circumstances created numerous issues with Mu Chenwus mental state. As a result, he had gone mad. Mu Chenwus energy waspletely focused on vengeance for thest few years. On one hand, the second son of the Yuan Family gave them support because he wanted to scare Yuan Xuan and limit his influence. On the other hand, Yuan Tangzhong was too afraid to challenge Yuan Xuan directly. Although Yuan Xuan was a businessman, he was backed by a powerful military force. Thus, he decided to enlist the Mu Familys help to destroy Yuan Xuan. Unfortunately, Yuan Tangzhongs wishful thinking did not yield positive results and in the end, they were forced to retreat. You could probablyplete the task without me. In the worst-case scenario, all of us will die at sea today, but Im not going to retreat. As long as Im alive, I will see the Yuan Family ruined. If Im going to die, its not going to be while Im hiding in a corner miserably! A sinister smile appeared on Mu Chenwus face as he spoke. The old butler sighed. He turned around and nced at the crew. There were three ships here that were carrying specialized fire bricks. They were going to blow up the three offshore tforms of the Yuan Familys oil fields... ... Shen Muqius fleet trailed them for some time. As they grew closer to the drilling tforms in the South China Sea, the three ships began to go their separate ways as they sailed towards the three tforms. Shen Muqiu was certain that these were Mu Chenwus ships. The corners of his lips curled upward before a smirk appeared on his face. Yuan Xuans predictions were not far off the mark. It looked like that man was truly skilled at tactics. Shen Muqiu was slightly disappointed when he saw the condition of those ships. You might have experience withnd battles, but theres a lot of room for improvement when ites to the sea. I thought that we were going to have a huge fight, but those just look like toys. This is boring! Shen Muqiu instructed the captain to follow the previous orders and intercept the three ships that definitely carried explosives. He told him to attack and sink those ships immediately if their enemies tried to resist. Gunpowder smoke rapidly filled the air between the ten ships at sea when the battle cry rang out. Shen Muqius fleet gave the signal to order the Blue Gull ships to stop. Mu Chenwu never expected that Yuan Xuan would have thought of this strategy long ago. He assumed that his movements were highly secretive. Since Yuan Xuan had transferred Shao Yibai back to Capital City to deal with Yuan Tangzhongs remaining allies, the person who wasmanding the fleet to ambush him here was definitely one of Yuan Xuans forces from abroad. Mu Chenwu remembered that he had previously shed with this force in Luo Hai several times. Despite his fathers vast experience withnd battles, he could not gain the upper hand. It would be useless for him to panic if they met again today. If he died now, he would make sure that was an honorable death. He instructed his subordinates, saying, Dont waste your time talking to them. Use the mortars to attack! The old butler trembled with terror when he heard this. Their opponents would surely return fire if they started attacking first. Worse still, their ships were carrying highly explosive fire bricks... Young Master, youre fighting against overwhelming odds! The old butler could tell that the situation was far from reassuring. Their movements had been exposed and their opponents were clearly well prepared. You should leave with the people on this ship first. Ill stay behind andmand the others. The old butler wanted to ensure that the Mu Familys lineage continued. He would do whatever it took to protect his masters only son and heir. Mu Chenwuughed maniacally. Yuan Xuan might be in a rush to kill me, but Im not afraid of him because I have a trick up my sleeve. Im going to drag Mu Chenyan down so that shell be buried with me! When Shen Muqius fleet gave their signal, his opponent returned the gesture by firing a mortar... That motherf*cker actually fired first! Get him. Dont hold back! Dull blue light seeped through the surface of the murky sea water during thiste autumn day. The two fleets engaged in a fierce battle for an hour. In the end, they managed to sink two of Mu Chenwus Blue Gulls and two of Shen Muqius medium-sized ships were significantly damaged. The other Blue Gull ship filled with fire bricks gave up during the battle. They raised their white g and surrendered. Shen Muqius fleet managed to quickly surround the ship Mu Chenwu was using to lead the voyage. Mr Mu, put your weapons down and surrender immediately. Third Young Master Yuan has been waiting for you at the tform for quite some time! Shen Muqiu used a wireless megaphone to ry his message to the Blue Gull. Mu Chenwu sneered, The winners act like kings while the losers pay for their sins. Please lead the way! Chapter 333 - You Still Loved Mu Chenyan Despite Knowing Her True Identity

Chapter 333: You Still Loved Mu Chenyan Despite Knowing Her True Identity

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shen Muqiu loved fighting. However, he was very disappointed with this battle at sea because it had been easily resolved in slightly more than an hour. Mu Chenwus navalbat abilities were extremely poor. Yuan Xuan had been monitoring his fleet for a long time. Although it seemed like the fleet led by Shen Muqiu was simply leisurely sailing around for several days, in truth, he was waiting for an opportunity to strike. Mu Chenwu was as cunning as a fox onnd. Yuan Xuan had wasted a lot of energy trying to ambush him over the course of two years. However, Mu Chenwu had lost hisndbat advantage because he was at sea today. He resembled a downtrodden person who was prepared to get violently beaten up at any moment! Yuan Xuan had clearly done an excellent job giving Mu Chenwu a taste of his own medicine. Yuan Xuans helicopternded on thending pad on the oil fields drilling tform. The man momentarily pondered when he heard that the sea battle was over. A sharp look that revealed his dashing spirit appeared on his handsome face. In a deep voice, he said, Get Mu Chenwus ship to shore! Yan Jun looked anxious. Growing up in a peaceful era meant that he had never experienced war. He felt a lump in his throat when the two sides exchanged gunfire. On the contrary, Third Young Master Yuan seemed very calm during this violent conflict. Yan Jun could not help but be impressed by him. Lets go. The mans voice sounded detached andpletely devoid of warmth. We should go to the coast and have the honor of weing Mr Mu! The trading vessels and the Blue Gull ship were surrounded by a massive fleet. Shen Muqius crew members had jumped on the Blue Gulls deck. They had started to seize control of the other sides forces. The Blue Gulls sailors had never undergone specialized training to do battle at sea. They watched as theirrades onboard the other two ships died when their vessel sank to the bottom of the sea. After the ambushed, they noticed that the other crew was brimming with energy. This group of elite soldiers who were used to battling onnd realized that they werepletely helpless. As the crew gathered on deck, their faces were ghastly pale from fright. From the east, the first rays of red light appeared in the sky. The sun was starting to rise behind the dense rosy clouds. Mu Chenwu realized that the situation was helpless when he saw how well prepared the Yuan Familys fleet was. He shut his eyes and felt the bone-piercingly cold sea breeze. His mind felt perfectly clear while he listened to the seabirds lively cries. The excitement and panic that were previously there had vanished. He had anticipated this conclusion long ago. Mr Mu, Im sorry to interrupt your trip. I havent seen you in a long time. Ive missed you! There was a condescending expression on the mans face while his voice was calm and melodious. A faint smile lingered in the corners of his lips. Mu Chenwu watched as Yuan Xuans attractive face became clearer through the sea breeze. It seemed like many things had changed. Third Young Master Yuan, I bet youve been well since we parted! This was the first direct confrontation between Mu Chenwu and Yuan Xuan in two years. Although their battles were nned in secret, these two men had been openly fighting each for a long time. This encounter did not feel sudden. Rather, it seemed like it was long overdue. Yuan Xuan detected the bloodthirsty aura that enveloped Mu Chenwus entire body. Yuan Xuan could not help but quietlyugh when he noticed that Mu Chenwu still appeared perverse and ruthless in this situation. Mu Chenwu, you still look so calm despite being at deaths door. Im very impressed by your attitude! Mu Chenwu leisurely walked up the steps to reach the tform. As these two men who were of simr heights came into close contact with each other, the air seemed to crackle when their explosive gazes met. How did you know that I would attack this ce? Mu Chenwu realized that he had suffered a setback here. There was no need to mention the harbor at Luo Hai now. Yuan Xuan did not answer Mu Chenwus question directly. He stared into Mu Chenwus eyes as if he could read his thoughts. The man quietly chuckled. Not only did I realize that you woulde here, but I also predicted that youd alsounch an attack on the port. Yuan Xuan paused while Mu Chenwus expression changed. Luo Hais harbor patrol has already sent its officers to surround your warships and seize the items there as evidence. Your subordinates have betrayed you. It doesnt matter whether you return to Luo Hai or not because youre about to meet your doom. Mu Chenwu now realized that Shen Muqiu would sink his ship if he continued to resist them today. In the end, he would be destined to drown. If they forced him to retreat, all of his actions would only lead to a lengthy prison sentence. That would be too cruel! Mu Chenwus entire body throbbed with pain when he heard this. The sea breeze blew as he gazed into the distance. Does this mean that you destroyed the hideout at the construction site near Green Smoke Mountain? He assumed that Yuan Xuan was well aware of his secrets. However, Yuan Xuan had not taken any action because Mu Chenwu had the upper hand when it came tond battles. Yuan Xuan hadcked any concrete evidence before this. Nheless, Yuan Xuan had forced him into a hopeless situation when he lured him out to sea and proved that he wasmitting these crimes. A faint light shed in Yuan Xuans dark eyes. He turned and walked toward a towering building on the tform. The dusky fog seemed to smudge his lengthy shadow. Mr Mu, the wind is too strong outside. This isnt the right way to treat ones guests! At the moment, he was still being contentious. The resentment in Mu Chenwus eyes was obvious when he looked at Yuan Xuan and trailed behind him. Yuan Xuan would asionallye here to inspect and monitor the area. An office was prepared for him on the tform for this purpose. The office was neat and tidy. The manager on site had already boiled some water because he knew several hours ago that Yuan Xuan was about to arrive. The water was ready for Yuan Xuan to brew his tea. Mu Chenwu seemed unconcerned. His eyes sparkled as he sank into the sofa. He appeared to be confidently confronting Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan sat on the massive leather chair as he fixed his gaze on Mu Chenwu. The corners of his lips turned downward while his gloomy eyes were filled with anger. Thete autumn chills wereced with the scent of sea breeze. It seeped through the cracks between thettice windows. It was already past 10 oclock, but the ocean mist continued to grow denser outside. It looked like a storm was approaching. The weather at sea always underwent sudden changes. Outside, the stifling atmosphere of the calm before the storm caused the two men inside the room to unconsciously keep mum as well. Their profound hatred for each other had resulted in a confrontation thatsted nearly three years. However, this resentment could be traced back over a decade. Yuan Xuan, I dont have much time left. If you have something to say, lets talk this out quickly. Mu Chenwu broke the silence first. His stern gaze was filled with a murderous intent when he red at the man before him who was the most powerful individual in Luo Hai. I poisoned myself before I came ashore. Ill die in an hour once the poison kicks in. You wont even have to do anything. Traces of a sinister smile appeared on the corners of Mu Chenwus lips as he said this. Yuan Xuans expression darkened. He expected that Mu Chenwu would engage in a life and death struggle with him, but he had never anticipated that Mu Chenwu would choose a road to ruin. He truly did not fear death. It would be such a waste if you died like this. Yuan Xuans dark eyes were devoid of a single trace of emotion. He leaned back before he deadpanned, I never knew that you were so weak spirited. Mu Chenwu sneered. I knew that youd never release me. After all, Yuan Tangbai and Mu Fengs grudges and their lives were the things that stood between you and me. Why would I be afraid? Yuan Xuan gritted his teeth when he heard Yuan Tangbais name. His body stiffened and he clenched his fists. Overwhelming hostility seeped through his violent gaze. Youre right, the same ending would await you whether you poisoned yourself today or not! Youll get your revenge when I die because the entire Mu Family will be wiped out. Oh, thats not right. You still have Little Chenyan in the palm of your hand. Is it true that shes pregnant with your child? Im assuming that she doesnt know the truth yet. Its so cute that shes willing to have your baby in spite of everything... Mu Chenwus sinister features broke out into a mocking smile. His eyes heavily hinted that his schemes had seeded. Yuan Xuan rose and angrily red at Mu Chenwu. Nheless, his voice was t when he spat each word, saying, Youve deliberately distorted the truth and twisted the facts in front of Mu Chenyan. You never told her that the person whomitted treason was your father, Mu Feng! He betrayed his superiors and his country to achieve his selfish desires. He secretlymunicated with Ze Da, the leader of the rebel forces in Xi Fan, who smuggled in ammunition! Mu Feng was struck by malicious intent when Yuan Tangbai discovered this. Mu Feng decided to defy his superiors from the grassroots without any consideration for the countrys interests! You and I both know that Yuan Tangbai wasnt the only person who lost his life. 3948 other heroes were sacrificed in Xi Fan when they were tricked into going to the vige where they were ambushed! Yuan Xuan said all of this in a single breath. He red furiously at Mu Chenwu. A hint of anguish appeared in the gaze of the man who had been behaving arrogantly earlier. Youre right, my father did betray the country. But what was the point of loyalty? The Mu Family provided outstanding military service in Xi Fan, and he was the bestmander ofndbat. However, Yuan Tangbai continued to overlook him because he was merely an adjutant! Any imperialmendations would solely be awarded to Yuan Tangbai when they returned to Luo Hai! You shouldnt just me Mu Feng for all of this. Yuan Tangbai wouldnt have been killed without the background support of your second uncle Yuan Tangzhong! Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenwus Three Worldviews were skewed. He was influenced by Mu Feng as he had followed him since he was young. The wind and rain gradually worsened outside the window. The storms at sea were always more intense than those onnd. The tform was surrounded by the ocean. It was suddenly forced to endure this devastating storm on its own. For the first time in ten years, Yuan Xuan was struggling alone during a storm... Mu Chenwu, you werent directly involved in the longsting battle in Xi Fan, but youvemitted numerous evil deeds under Mu Fengs guidance these past few years. Are you going to repent on your fathers behalf before you die? Yuan Xuan assumed a victors stance and towered over Mu Chenwu. He was enveloped by a powerful aura. He resembled the personification of glory and justice. Seeing this, Mu Chenwu suddenly felt dissatisfied. The man sneered, saying, Yuan Xuan, do you really think that youre the ultimate winner? Traces of blood trickled down the corners of Mu Chenwus lips. The poison that he swallowed would swiftly end his short but evil existence. He would be disappointed if he failed to get certain things off his chest before then. Yuan Xuan remained silent and turned towards the sea. I was prepared to die when I came here. You would lose everything if I seeded, but at least you would still have Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuan turned around abruptly when he heard this. He asked sternly, What do you mean? Mu Chenwu snickered. The effects of the drug made his face look savage. Gloomy and prating chills seeped through the space between them. You would win this war if I failed, but you... You would... You would lose Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan took a step forward and grabbed Mu Chenwu. His body was gradually stiffening as heid on the sofa. Yuan Xuan loudly asked, What have you done to Mu Chenyan? Mu Chenwu smiled before he replied to Yuan Xuans question with his final breath. I like seeing you... Afraid like this... You grew up as a member of Luo Hais most illustrious family... You were their brilliant heir... However, you possess a hidden dark side... His stomach was suddenly struck by pain. Large beads of sweat ran down Mu Chenwus head and soaked his clothes. He panted heavily before he cursed, F*ck, if Id known about this earlier, I would have chosen a more lethal drug to get it over with! You still loved... You still loved Mu Chenyan despite knowing her true identity... Doesnt that make you... A wretched person? Dont you think that the world is going to condemn you for that?

Chapter 334: He Left You a Video Before He Died

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hibiscus Garden, Luo Hai The storm shrouded Luo Hai in fog, while the surroundings of Hibiscus Garden were covered in red fragments that fell on the ground. The cool autumn breeze lingered in the air. It chilled people to the bone. Within Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan was worried sick. A single phone call was enough to leave her feeling confused and helpless. Chenyan, why was there M36n in the soil sample that you sent? Su Qingcheng had asked the forensic department to examine it. They were very familiar with this element by now. Yuan Zhes direct cause of death was poisoning by M36n. This was apound poison that Zheng Shuyan had developed... Yuan Xuan had not returned the entire night. This was the second reason for Mu Chenyans anxiety. Previously, Yuan Xuan would never stay out all night or disappear without a word. The same message yed whenever she tried to contact him. Sorry, the person youve called is currently unavable... * South China Sea Oil Field Yuan Xuan angrily red at Yan Jun and the pilot who was holding him back. He snarled, You dont have to follow me if youre afraid of dying. I can fly a helicopter on my own, so back off. Im going back to Luo Hai! At the moment, Yan Jun was not afraid of offending Yuan Xuan. He snapped, The storm is too violent now. Itll be extremely dangerous for you to fly a helicopter. Were not afraid of dying, but were worried that youll die! Calm down, the Mistress will be fine. You can use the satellite phone tomunicate with the men who were deployed in Luo Hai... Yuan Xuans eyes were bloodshot, but he managed to slowly calm himself down. He had already made the necessary preparations beforeing here. Everything would be fine as long as Mu Chenyan remained in Hibiscus Garden. However, a strange sense of uneasiness welled up inside him when he saw the look in Mu Chenwus eyes before his death. Neither the helicopter nor the ships could be used as the storm was too intense. He was stranded in the South China Sea... * Hibiscus Garden Mu Chenyan gazed through the sheer white curtains that led to the balcony. She saw a red-colored umbre passing through the little garden in the middle. It wasing from the direction of Upper Mansion. The Old Mistress mood was worsened by the sudden idents that repeatedly happened within her household. This had caused her health to progressively deteriorate. She had been unable to get out of bed for many days. Yuan Zhe died, Wen Ya left the Yuan household, and Xue Meiwei was in the hospital taking care of Yuan Tangzhong who seemed like a walking corpse. Yuan Xuan was mysteriously nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the third son of the Yuan Family refused to have anything to do with this feud. Too many things had happened within a year. The Yuan Family waspletely enveloped by an unnatural silence. Shu Qinger was the only person who still had the energy to cause trouble now. The Mistress is upstairs. Miss, please have a seat. Ill ask the Mistress toe down. Ah Fus voice could be heard clearly. Mu Chenyan immediately pushed the door open and stood face to face with Ah Fu before the girl came over. Mistress, Miss Zhao is here! The Miss Zhao that the servant was referring to was actually Shu Qinger. Mu Chenyan nodded and followed Ah Fu downstairs. Shu Qinger wore light makeup to entuate her healthyplexion. Nheless, this woman always appeared rather irritating because she loved stirring up trouble. Mu Chenyan put on a stern face and indifferently said, What brings you here in spite of the heavy rain? Ive already told you that I hate it when you visit Hibiscus Garden while Im present. Shu Qinger sneered when she noticed that Mu Chenyan looked agitated. You have every right to say that. After all, youre the mistress of Hibiscus Garden. She turned and sat down on the sofa. She murmured, However, you wont be the mistress for much longer! Mu Chenyan smirked. Neither will you! Shu Qinger coldly red at Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, she said, I didnte here to fight with you. I came to tell you some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first? Stop beating around the bush! Shu Qinger had made herself at home without asking for permission. As Mu Chenyan was already annoyed because of her pregnancy, she desperately wanted Ah Fu to chase Shu Qinger out with a broom. Alright, Ill tell you the bad news first. Shu Qinger gleefully fixed her gaze on Mu Chenyan. Your brother, Mu Chenwu, led a fleet filled with explosives to the South China Sea Oil Field this morning... Mu Chenyans expression changed drastically and her body trembled when she heard this. Mu Chenwu... Hes dead! Shu Qinger was secretly overjoyed when she saw Mu Chenyans stunned expression. He left you a video before he died. Do you want to see it? Chapter 335 - Mu Chenyan Left You a Letter

Chapter 335: Mu Chenyan Left You a Letter

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Shao Yibai received Yuan Xuans call through the satellite phone, he learnt that Mu Chenwu was dead while Yuan Xuan was stranded in the South China Sea because of the storm. Yuan Xuan asked Shao Yibai for help because he was worried about Mu Chenyan. Unfortunately, Shao Yibai was in Capital City. Currently, Su Qingcheng was the only person that he trusted in Luo Hai. Su Qingchengs mind was fraught with anxiety when Shao Yibai told her to rush over to Hibiscus Garden to check on Mu Chenyan. Shao Yibai had only recently returned to the Capital City. Before he left, he asked her to take care of Mu Chenyan while he was gone. Mu Chenyan did not go to work for a long time after the incidents in the Yuan household, but Su Qingcheng called her every day to ask if she was alright. Su Qingcheng knew that the Yuan Family Mansions security was extremely tight. It was unlikely that they would face any problems defending Mu Chenyan. This afternoon, both Mu Chenyans cell phone and thendline at Hibiscus Garden were dead. Shao Yibais frantic calls from Capital City instantly sent panic through Su Qingchengs mind as well. Did something happen to Mu Chenyan? I cant give you details through the phone. Everything will be fine as long as she hasnt left Hibiscus Garden. Our men are stationed around the periphery, so shell be safe! However, Yuan Xuan wants you to hurry over to Hibiscus Garden to check out the situation. Remember to protect Mu Chenyan! Shao Yibai was an optimist by nature, but he could sense that something was amiss now. The man who was stranded in the South China Sea had been immensely troubled when he spoke to Shao Yibai over the phone. That was not the Yuan Xuan that Shao Yibai remembered. * Su Qingchengs car raced across the slippery road, forming sshes that were half a meter high. The other drivers spat a series of curses at her as they drove past. Her car elerated. Su Qingcheng only breathed a long sigh of relief when she drew close to the cluster of vis in the wealthy suburb near Autumn View Mountain. She gently stepped on the brakes. She thought to herself, Mu Chenyan, please be alright. A red-colored BMW drove away from the direction of the Yuan Family Mansion. Its speed was neither fast nor slow. Through the mist, Su Qingcheng realized that the driver looked familiar. However, she failed to get a good look when their cars passed each other... Su Qingcheng simply distractedly stepped on the elerator and continued moving forward. Fifteen minutester, the mansions front door appeared before her. She noticed that the security here was very tight when she attempted to enter the Yuan Family Mansion. The head of security was an imposing man carrying a walkie-talkie. He only allowed Su Qingchengs white-colored Mazda to enter once he received an order from the other side. Su Qingcheng could instantly tell that the head of security was a special forces soldier who was transferred from Capital City. His vignce and the way he carried himself was different from that of a civilian. Hibiscus Garden Ah Fu frantically paced up and down the house. She was too afraid to inform the Old Mistress that Yuan Xuan was uncontactable. She anxiously threw herself at Su Qingcheng when the older woman hastily rushed inside. Miss Su... The Mistress... Where is the Mistress? Su Qingcheng became agitated when she noticed that the servant was terrified. Her tone changed. The Mistress was packing her things earlier before she left with Miss Zhao... Before he left, the Master instructed me not to let the Mistress take a single step out of Hibiscus Garden. But I couldnt stop her... Ah Fu began to sob as she exined. Why didnt you answer the phone? Su Qingcheng demanded angrily. She realized that she had failed when she heard this. The Mistress disconnected the phone line... Ah Fus heart continued to tremble with fear when she recalled thepletely disillusioned look on Mu Chenyans face. She spoke to Miss Zhao for some time. I dont know what Miss Zhao said, but the Mistress suddenly started crying. After that, she went upstairs and changed her clothes. When I came outside, I only saw Miss Zhao driving her car to the entrance before the Mistress got in without even turning back... Ah Fu took a deep breath after she spoke. She wiped away her snot and tears as she cried. How would she face the Young Master if anything happened to Mu Chenyan because of this? Is Zhao Ruoxins car a red BMW? Su Qingcheng recalled the familiar driver whom she had encountered halfway when she slowed down. Yes, its a red car... Damn! Su Qingcheng was so angry that she wanted to p herself several times. The car that she had passed earlier on the way here... Mu Chenyan, you idiot. How could you leave with her? What did she say to you? Su Qingcheng cursed when she realized that disaster was imminent. She contacted Wu Huai. Captain, Im requesting for backup. Mu Chenyan may have been kidnapped! Su Qingcheng was left with no choice but to make the situation sound slightly more severe. She needed to force Wu Huai to send the police. Wu Huai was shocked when he heard this. The Yuan Family must have done many evil deeds this year. Theyve given us a slew of cases. Dont panic. Tell me the vehicles registration te number and Ill instruct someone over here to... Su Qingcheng contacted Shao Yibai. Tell your men toe with me. Yuan Xuans own men can hold down the fort at the Yuan Family Mansion on their own. Im afraid that Shu Qinger may have kidnapped Mu Chenyan! Shao Yibais hair stood on end when he heard this. They were in a sticky situation now. If anything happened to Mu Chenyan, Yuan Xuan would cause a ruckus when he returned to Luo Hai! When the head of security at the entrance received Shao Yibais orders, he gathered the 150 elite soldiers from Capital City. While they were mostly dressed in casual clothes, a group of them had changed into the security guards uniforms as a disguise. Su Qingcheng nced at these well-trained troops before she arranged them in a simple manner. She hurriedly created a chat group in order to easemunication. She sent Mu Chenyan and Shu Qingers photos and a picture of Shu Qingers car to the group. A few of you can go to variousrge petrol stations on your own to search for them using these photos. You guys will go to Luo Hais six high-speed intersections and intercept them. This group will investigate the nearby harbors and airports. The rest of you will do a thorough search using the transport departments surveince cameras. Su Qingcheng sighed deeply once she had finished assigning tasks. She ordered, Inform the group if you discover even the slightest activity! Hurry up and move out! Also, Mrs Yuan is pregnant, so dont frighten her or she may vomit. Mu Chenyan was unaware that Luo Hai had descended into chaos after she left. The transport department, major crimes department, and the special forces from Capital City turned Luo Hai upside down in the short span of several hours in an effort to find her... * At night The raging storm thatsted throughout the day finally stopped. The thunderous roar of massive propellers echoed from afar as it approached thending pad on the port. The cold wind on this rainy night was not enough to chill peoples bodies. The man who came down from the helicopter scanned his surroundings with a stern gaze. However, the people waiting for him at the airport wrapped their clothes tighter around their bodies. Third Young Master, Im sorry... The Mistress... Zhou Tian, the captain responsible for guard duties, was one of Shao Yibais men. He felt extremely guilty about his dereliction of duty. Yuan Xuan nced at Zhou Tian. Although he was burning with rage, he knew that it was inappropriate tosh out at him. He calmly said, Zhou Tian, you dont have to exin. I still need your help to continue searching for the next few days. The expression on Yuan Xuans face darkened. There were no signs of a smile at all. He wrapped the ck windbreaker tighter around his body as his long legs entered the Maybach. They travelled west. The Yuan Family Mansion was halfway up Autumn View Mountain. The old mansion gave off a strange dim light under the pitch-ck autumn night. The inside of Hibiscus Garden nowcked that womans gentle and beautiful silhouette. Yuan Xuan felt a heavy blow strike his heart at the second he entered. He had some trouble breathing. Mu Chenyan had disappeared with Shu Qinger fourteen hours ago. Ah Fu trembled with fear when she saw Yuan Xuan returning in the middle of the night. The girl was bundled up in cotton-padded clothes, but she shivered as she stood in the doorway. Young Master... Ah Fu pouted and nearly cried, but she determinedly restrained herself when she saw Yuan Xuans stern face. However, Yuan Xuan could not me anyone now. Mu Chenyan left on purpose. Nobody could stop her if she wanted to leave. Ah Fu, bring Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet home tomorrow... A gleaming reflection flickered in Yuan Xuans dark eyes as the sense of loneliness suddenly swelled in his heart. Everything was settled, but he could not make that woman stay in the end... The thorough searchsted a week. It seemed as though Mu Chenyan had disappeared off the face of the earth. There was no news about her ever since. Yuan Xuans initial fury turned into anxiety before it finally became prayers to god! * One monthter One morning in winter, Ah Fu woke up early as usual and busied herself in the kitchen. In the month since the Mistress disappeared, The Young Master barely ate anything during meals. However, Ah Fu continued to cook the usual amount of food. She silently watched as Yuan Xuanid out Mu Chenyans cutlery... In this house, Yuan Xuan never seemed to admit that Mu Chenyan had left. Today was no exception. Yuan Xuan instructed Ah Fu beforehand to cook the rice wine steamed eggs that the Mistress liked. When Ah Fu came out of the kitchen, she was shocked to see the group of people who had suddenly appeared before her. Miss... Miss Zhao... The te of steamed eggs that Ah Fu had just brought out ttered on the floor and broke into pieces while the girl shrieked. Yuan Xuan came out of the bedroom when he heard themotion. He saw Yan Jun, Tian Qi, and a group of other people. They angrily burst into Hibiscus Garden while dragging a woman along. That woman was none other than Shu Qinger who had disappeared with Mu Chenyan for a long time. Young Master, we caught this woman earlier at the entry point to Luo Hais highway. Yan Jun shoved Shu Qinger inside. Shu Qinger had reced her red BMW with a white Hyundai long ago. It was not surprising that they were unable to find surveince footage of that car entering and leaving the area during their previous investigations. Shu Qingers gaze fell on the stern and gloomy man who was leaning against the handrails on the second floor. Her exquisite little face broke out into a smile. Third Young Master, Im here to give you a letter! Yuan Xuans expression remained calm. His dark eyes never stirred as he was unperturbed. He said indifferently, You were brave enough to return, so you should already know the consequences! Shu Qinger lifted her head and giggled when he said that. If youre nning to ask me about Mu Chenyans whereabouts, you can rest assured that I wont tell you. As she spoke, Shu Qinger attempted to cast off Tian Qis grip. Yuan Xuan signalled Tian Qi to release her. Shu Qinger shook her arm once she was freed. It hurt from being gripped so tightly. She stepped forward and walked upstairs to the second floor. She anchored her feet there and met the mans gaze. She had previously loved him so much that she had suffered terribly for him. His face was currently filled with intense hatred. Shu Qinger believed that Yuan Xuan would tear her to shreds with his own hands. The only thing that stopped him was his desire to learn Mu Chenyans whereabouts from her. Mu Chenyan left Luo Hai and followed Shu Qinger to City C. She wrote this letter a month ago. She had initially nned to get rid of Mu Chenyan. It would be best if she sold her off in Africa. She never expected that Mu Chenyan would merely use her to escape from Luo Hai. A short while after they left Autumn View Mountain, Mu Chenyan forced Shu Qinger to exchange her BMW for a white Hyundai at a car retailer. The vehicle permits wereplete, and she even had the proper identification to prove that this car was obviously not stolen. The owner of the Hyundai could not believe that he had gotten so lucky... Mu Chenyan promised that they would transfer ownership of the BMW to him and finalize everything in a few days. She also reminded the car owner to remove the vehicles registration te immediately and drive the car home. He could not appear in public for the next three days at any cost. The owner of the Hyundai obediently followed her instructions. He only realized that he had gotten himself into a huge mess when he heard that the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family was on the run. The man was so terrified that he sought out his uncle that very night and painted the red BMW white... It resulted in a horrible paint job. Mu Chenyan still possessed the wig and tools that she previously used to crack cases. It was not difficult for her to disguise herself and deceive surveince. Yuan Xuan had forgotten that Shu Qingers name had already vanished. They used Zhao Ruoxins identification throughout their journey... Mu Chenyan abandoned her three days after they arrived in City C. The only thing that she left behind in the hotel was this letter. In actuality, Shu Qinger waspletely unaware of Mu Chenyans current whereabouts. Shu Qinger had to admit that she was no match for Mu Chenyan when it came to deceiving others. She had lost sight of Mu Chenyan, but Yuan Xuan was still frantically looking for his wife. Shu Qinger found a remote ce in City C and hid there because she was too afraid to return to Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan had taken her identification card and the money inside her bank cards. It was impossible for a person such as Shu Qinger, who had always been fragile and egotistical, to suffer living a life on the run. She realized that she still had Mu Chenyans handwritten letter. That man would probably give up once he saw the conclusion. Shu Qinger assumed that Yuan Xuan would not hurt her on ount of the Old Mistress feelings. Moreover, that man was previously indebted to her as well. Shu Qinger attempted to return to Luo Hai to find a way out. As expected, she was immediately seized by Yuan Xuans men the moment she stepped foot into Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan wrote a letter and told me to give it to you! Shu Qinger took an envelope out of her pocket as she said this. It was pale pink and slightly crumpled after Shu Qinger rubbed against it. Yuan Xuans palms were dry and warm. He felt strangely hurt when he looked at that pale pink envelope. It contained news from Mu Chenyan, but he was too afraid to take it... Fear was a feeling that Yuan Xuan had not experienced since he was five years old. This was his first time experiencing this emotion ever since he lost his parents. Third Young Master Yuan, you dont believe that Mu Chenyan wrote this letter for you? The corners of Shu Qingers lips curled upward when she noticed the hesitation that shed across Yuan Xuans arrogant gaze. Her smile was intentionally sinister. Mu Chenyan left you this letter because she knew that you refused to give up on her. She doesnt want you to look for her anymore. If you dont read it... Yuan Xuan refused to be threatened by this woman. He reached out and snatched the envelope. Hisrge warm hands stroked it while he held it in his palm for some time. Mu Chenyan chose this method as she was afraid that he would find her. She avoided all modern forms ofmunication and instead chose the primitive method of writing a letter... Her delicate and familiar handwriting appeared before him when he opened the envelope. He recognized Mu Chenyans writing. Brother Xuan, I wrote you this letter because I couldnt meet you. This is thest time Ill ever call you Brother Xuan. I know that your heart will be filled with love and hatred when you read this letter. Im sorry. You know that it was the best choice for me to leave. I can never face you again, and theres no way for me to pretend that nothing happened. I cant act like a spoiled child or fool around with you like we did in the past anymore... You protected me for so many years by refusing to expose my real past to me. Ive loved and hated you, but I never realized that your love for me was so deep and sincere... You carried this burden alone in the past, but I repaid the favor. Please let me do something for you now. Im Ze Das daughter... I have evil blood flowing through my veins as he was the leader of the rebel forces. I cant even face myself because Ive been tainted... 3928 heroes lost their lives during the long-standing battle. The departed spirit of the brave General Yuan Tangbai would never allow me to stay here. Please forget me. You shouldnt me yourself for feeling conflicted because you love me. I dont deserve your love at all. I was never given the right to choose, just like my mother who wasnt allowed to decide whether she wanted to give birth to me in the first ce. I stupidly allowed so many years to pass. Worse still, I made another unimaginably stupid decision when I discovered this the first time. How dare I assume that I was worthy enough to nurture the flesh and blood of the Yuan Family in my womb? Donte looking for me anymore. Just let me live out my days in misery as a form of repentance... You should find a better woman who will love you for the rest of your life. A woman like me doesnt deserve you at all! Ive aborted the baby... Yuan Xuan read the whole letter. He gripped the railing to calm down. He noticed that the envelope contained a document from the hospital confirming that her pregnancy was terminated! Yuan Xuan murmured, Mu Chenyan, how could you... He felt his vision darken before his entire body fell headfirst with a thud! Young Master! Tian Qi and Yan Jun yelled simultaneously. Ah Fu had no idea what happened. She merely shrieked when she saw Yuan Xuans tall figure tumbling down the stairs... Chapter 336 - Happy Birthday, Little Chenyan

Chapter 336: Happy Birthday, Little Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Four monthster, in the military hospital. Yuan Xuan removed the final steel nail from his leg and Yuan Tian could not help but sigh as she looked at her handsome brother sitting in a wheelchair. Stand up and try walking around. Yuan Xuan supported himself with the handrails on the sides of the bed and stood up. Even though he had always used a wheelchair when he was at home or in the office previously, he did not feel troubled. Now that he removed the steel nails and stopped using crutches or wheelchairs, he was as handsome as ever. Luckily there arent any residual effects from the injury. Otherwise, who knows how many socialites in Luo Hai would cry themselves to death when they found out that youre crippled! Yuan Tian noticed that Yuan Xuan recovered pretty well, and her earlier concerns were unnecessary. Fortunately, he only broke his leg after falling from such high ground. It would be a pity if it left a scar on his face! What does that have to do with Luo Hais socialites? Yuan Xuan said in a brief tone. Thankfully, the stairs in Hibiscus Garden were made of wood, so he was able to keep his life. Of course, they would be sad if youre crippled. The position of Yuan Familys Third Missus... Is reserved for Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan interrupted Yuan Tians sentence and stared at her with his cold gaze. It was spring already, yet Yuan Tian felt a sudden and inexplicable coldness. She stuck her tongue out and did not dare to continue talking. Both of them were like a pair of quarrelsome lovers. They had been in love for more than ten years yet had only truly been together for a year. When Yuan Tian thought about it, ever since Mu Chenyan left, Yuan Xuan once again returned to being a cold, sadistic person who showed no mercy. Shu Qinger was the best example. Yuan Xuan knew that Shu Qinger had something to do with what happened, so the first thing that he did after he woke up was to take revenge on her. That woman miscalcted a step, as there was no use pleading to the Old Mistress. Yuan Xuan ordered someone to throw Shu Qinger in jail on the grounds of kidnapping and human trafficking. None of thewyers in Luo Hai dared to defend Shu Qinger and the prosecutor ended the case carelessly. Just like that, the socialite lifestyle that Shu Qinger was looking forward to came to an end. It seemed like a good idea for her to spend her remaining years in Luo Hais prison... * Hibiscus Garden. The birth of Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquets first batch of kittens lifted the atmosphere in Hibiscus Garden. After two hours ofbor, the three little kittensid closely in Little Ginger Fur Balls arms. The kittens meowing calmed Yuan Xuan who was sweating profusely. Little Ginger Fur Ball was once just a little maiden cat, yet it seemed to be covered in a motherly radiance when it saw the three kittens cramming up to feed on milk. Then, she licked her kittens with her tiny little tongue. Young Master, this one looks the most like Little Ginger Fur Ball! Ah Fu pointed at one of the ginger-colored female kittens with a particrly excited expression. Mm! Yuan Xuan answered lightly. There were three kittens, one fully yellow, one fully ck, and one a tabby cat. It was nice to have two males and a female. Little Ginger Fur Ball saw Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu pointing at them. Due to her motherly instinct, she was a little unhappy as she was worried that they might harm her kittens, so she purred toin. Briquet also developed a fatherly instinct as he growled at Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu. He straightened its tail and seemed like it was ready to attack! Briquet: I dare you to make a move on my wife and kids! What an ungrateful bastard dog. Youve forgotten all about your father now that you have a wife and kids. Yuan Xuan cursed lowly and pinched Briquets butt. Briquet: Meow-meow, father, are you blind? Im a bastard cat... I fed you imported cat food, and this is how you repay me! Briquet: Meow-meow, father, if you were to be a father, youd be worse than me... Yuan Xuan, ... Briquet, stop being so merciless! Yuan Xuan looked at the group of kittens cuddling with Little Ginger Fur Ball and he was suddenly struck by a sense of sadness. If Mu Chenyan did not get an abortion, she would be inbor now... * Three yearster. Zhong Heng International. Yuan Xun walked out of the office and Yan Jun rushed over from somewhere else with a travel-weary look on his face. Young Master, are you leaving work? Yan Jun went to the pantry to get a cup of water and before he could even take a sip, he was a little surprised to see the elegant man getting ready to get off work. It had been more than three years since Young Mistress disappeared and Yuan Xuan worked overtime almost every night. Even when he did not work overtime, he would be on a business trip. The number of times Yuan Xuan went on a business trip had increased significantlypared to before. He seemed to have begun to enjoy the feeling of walking on the street. Whenever he returned to Hibiscus Garden, the feeling of emptiness kept him up all night. Shouldnt I get off work? Yuan Xuan had a question mark written on his face. He was the boss after all, so why would he need someone elses permission to take a day off? Let alone getting off work. Yan Jun gulped with a fearful look on his face. Then, he said smiling, Of course theres nothing wrong with it! Just that... What? Yuan Xuan had gradually gotten sick of Yan Juns fussiness. His expression sank and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. The Old-Old Mistress arranged a blind date... Yan Jun saw that Yuan Xuan had a grim look on his face. Moreover, his ice-cold gaze stopped him from finishing his sentence. Ever since Little Mistress disappeared, the Yuan Familys Third Young Mistress position had been empty. Besides that, the Yuan Familys second son was gone, so the once lively Yuan Family Mansion suddenly seemed cold and deste. The Old Mistress was feeling anxious and she could not care less about what Yuan Xuan had done to the Yuan Familys second son. After all, the one left alive was the more important one. Thus, forcing Yuan Xuan to get married became the Old Mistresss greatest pleasure. To the socialites of Luo Hai, this was a great opportunity. With the support of the Old Mistress, they could not wait to throw themselves at Third Young Master Yuan. However, Yuan Xuan was not willing to be manipted. He put on an act in front of the Old Mistress whenever she gave reasons like encouraging rtionship between aristocratic families. Whenever she set up all kinds of sudden encounters, he pretended to be very surprised. Nevertheless, nothing happened after that. Ultimately, nothing definite ever urred... As for the directly arranged marriage meetups, it went without saying that Yuan Xuan always had all kinds of excuses to reject them. Seeing how there was no hope of ever getting a grandchild, the Old Mistress used her trump card. Since Yuan Xuan always used working as an excuse, she sent the women directly to his office. Lets see if he could run now! Yuan Xuan saw how Yan Jun served as the Old Mistresss henchman and he was furious. Im the one paying you, but youre loyal to someone else. What a righteous man! Yuan Xuan knew that Yan Jun was looking after him for the Old Mistress. Yan Jun had an offended look on his face, yet he could not defend himself. Your grandmother used all her strength to get you a lifelongpanion. He was just an innocent bystander that was dragged into it, please do not look at him as a traitor... Young Master, thedy is waiting downstairs already... Yan Jun thought in his heart, I was not the one who brought her here after all, if you do not wish to meet her, at least let her know. Yuan Xuans expression sank and he answered, Today is the Young Mistresss sr birthday. I need to rush home to make her dinner! I wont meet her! Yan Jun, ... Yuan Xuan was trapped in a curse. Three years had gone by, yet he carried on as if Mu Chenyan never left! He ate the food that she liked, yed the songs that she listened in the office, walked the path that she used to walk, and hugged the pillow that Mu Chenyan slept with while he stared nkly the entire night... Only then did Yan Jun understand, Yuan Xuan was not blindly clinging onto his loyalty towards her. He truly believed that Mu Chenyan might return at any time, even though he received disappointing news each time he sent people to look for her. Today was indeed Mu Chenyans sr birthday. Yuan Xuan would personally cook a table full of dishes every year on this day. Then, he would open a bottle of red wine, sit in front of the dining table, light the candles, and sing her a birthday song softly. Yan Jun watched as the Third Young Master Yuan walked past him and grunted in disapproval. Yuan Xuan made an order on his phone and before he arrived home, the ingredients that he ordered had arrived in Hibiscus Garden. When Ah Fu saw that the ingredients were all favorites of the Young Mistress. She knew that it was Young Mistresss birthday when she looked at the calendar. Ah Fu did not say anything, all she did was help him out in the kitchen with her talent in cooking. Eventually, she made a table full of dishes together with Yuan Xuan. The affectionate man sat in front of the huge dining table and poured two sses of red wine which sparkled faintly under the candlelight like a ruby. The huge bouquet of red roses was beautiful and delicate. The man took a sip of red wine and he felt a burning sensation passing through his throat along with a hint of bitterness surging through his sensory organs. Yuan Xuan paused, and muttered softly, Little Chenyan, happy birthday! He remembered the time when she was seventeen, they were at a birthday party in Ennd and it was the first time Little Chenyan had formally confessed to him. Back then, he knew that he should not fall in love with her. There was bound to be a blood feud between the two of them, yet he could not control the excitement in his heart. She loved him, and he loved her... However, he knew that he should not feel this way! Thest letter that Yuan Tangbai wrote before he passed contained evidence of Mu Fengs crime. That was the only keepsake left from his father after Ye Kuns escape. Unfortunately, at that time, Ye Kun failed to escape back to Luo Hai and he was captured once again. Under such circumstances, Ye Kun hid the letter and evidence with Yan Mei and imprisoned for ten years. He was forced to hand over the evidence and had been crippled. Ye Kun was Yan Meis first love, however, due to the pressure from her family, she was forced to marry Mu Feng. When she saw her previous lover imprisoned by Mu Feng, she eventually found a suitable opportunity to release Ye Kun secretly. Ye Kun returned to Luo Hai with the secret. Fortunately, he had been saved by Yuan Xuan as he was being pursued. It was then that the fifteen-year-old young man knew that his fathers murderer was about to return. However, he was too weak then. He had to be wary of his second uncle from the inside and be cautious of Mu Feng from the outside. Thus, he dared not act rashly even after he got the evidence. He gathered power and waited until he was strong enough so that he could personally destroy the enemy that ruined his family. The cold young man who grew up with hate did not expect God to y a trick on him. When Mu Feng returned from Xi Fan, he brought along a little girl, called Mu Chenyan... Love had no reason! He knew that he wasmitting a great sin, loving Mu Chenyan was treachery. Nheless, the young man had tried his best to restrain himself. To avoid her, he even chose to hide in another country. Who would have thought that she would follow along shamelessly... Yuan Xuan recalled the seventeen-year-old Mu Chenyan. She was young, naive and persistent like no other. She would not hesitate to go through hell for love. It was not that he did not have love inside of him, just that he kept it restrained. When he gathered enough power and was ready to retaliate, Ye Kun secretly told Yuan Xuan that Mu Feng drugged Yan Mei and gave her to Ze Da to achieve his goals. Mu Chenyan was Ze Das daughter... l. Mu Chenyan was Ze Das daughter... Chapter 337 - Arranged Marriage

Chapter 337: Arranged Marriage

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After the revolt in Xi Fan thatsted more than ten years, a man of his status had a daughter. Mu Feng had brought her to Lou Hai. If Mu Chenyans identity was to be exposed, it would be disastrous and she would never be epted. Moreover, based on the status and position of the Yuan Family, her being banished would be the smallest punishment. Mu Feng knew that this was Yuan Xuans weak spot! ... Yuan Xuan got drunk by himself. He hugged the bottle of wine and watched as the candles on the cake go out one by one. Yuan Xuan said softly, Sorry, Little Chenyan, Im useless... Previously, I was afraid that Mu Feng would fight me to the death and expose your identity, so I turned the other cheek when you were treated unjustly and thrown into prison... And now, Im still useless. Thats why you chose to leave, right... Ah Fu hid at the side, covered her mouth and listened to Yuan Xuan mutter while crying profusely... * Zhong Heng International. Yuan Xuan appeared in the parking area in a dark-colored suit. Yan Jun was waiting in front of the CEOs exclusive elevator while he nced left and right. The moment Yuan Xuan strode over to the elevator, he saw the odd look on Yan Juns face and could not help but frown. What are you doing here so suspiciously early in the morning? Yan Jun had a dejected look on his face. He was not being suspicious... Young Master, you stood Miss Yan up yesterday, so she rushed straight to your office early in the morning and waited for you! Yuan Xuan paused and gave a puzzled look, Which Miss Yan? Yan Jun knew that even if he mentioned her name in front of Yuan Xuan a thousand times, he would not remember it. The woman that Old Mistress arranged to meet you yesterday... Yuan Xuan heard it and he immediately knew that she was one of the marriage candidates that Old Mistress arranged for him. The previous women had never dared to behave so arrogantly even if he did not meet them. However, Miss Yan had rushed directly to his office? Yuan Xuan twitched the corners of his lips and said casually as he walked forward, Whats her background? Yan Jun quickly informed to Yuan Xuan of what he found, Yan Pianran, 169cm tall, 28 years old, graduated from the Evergreen State College in the US, aw Ph.D., she was regarded as one of the most outstanding students during her schooling days... I dont want to listen to her education history! Yuan Xuan coldly interrupted Yan Juns report and stepped into the elevator with his long legs. Yan Jun wiped off the sweat on his forehead and continued, Miss Yan is the second daughter of the Yan Familys eldest son in Luo Hai. She pursued her studies overseas for many years and rarely returned home. A while ago, the Yan Familys Old Master had his eightieth birthday, so Old Mistress went to celebrate and got to know Miss Yan! Ive been told that Miss Yan has excellent academic qualifications and shes very beautiful. Moreover, she speaks eloquently, and the Old Mistress likes her very much... Yuan Xuans abnormally handsome side profile could be seen reflected on the walls of the elevator, but there was no expression on his well-defined face. The man pondered for a moment and ding, the elevator had arrived. Then, he turned around and said to Yan Jun, Arranged a slot for me in the afternoon, I want to have lunch with Wu Ze! Yan Jun did not know why Yuan Xuan thought about Wu Ze just then. Nheless, he did not question him and answered, Yes, Ill do it right away! Yuan Xuans gaze fell on the lounge next to the office. As expected, a woman was sitting on the dark-colored leather sofa. She was dressed in appropriate office wear and he could tell that she had a distinct preference. Her naturally curled long hair rested on top of her shoulders while she read a finance magazine. From time to time, she would push her sses. When Yan Pianran heard the secretary say CEO Yuan, she raised her head. Her slender long neck made her appear like an elegant white swan. Even though her delicate features were adorable, the glimpse in her eyes revealed an elder sister look. She stood up, walked towards Yuan Xuan and smiled, Mr. Yuan, Ive heard so much about you. Im Yan Pianran! Chapter 338 - Miss Yan, Do Me a Favor and Have Lunch with Me

Chapter 338: Miss Yan, Do Me a Favor and Have Lunch with Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Pianran introduced herself appropriately unlike the other socialites who behaved abnormally. Yuan Xuan sized up the girl with his cold gaze and noticed she had delicate features. Her slightly curled bangs made her seem a little quirky and her skin was so fair that it almost seemed transparent. Moreover, her sses gave her a gentler appearance and her huge, watery eyes were sparkling. From her looks, who would have thought that this woman had already surpassed Wu Zes record in just one year and was a rising star in the legal world? Yuan Xuans gaze swept past Yan Pianran and he nodded slightly. Then, he said in a cold and calm tone, Nice to meet you! The man spoke briefly and walked into his office. As he walked, he gave his secretary, Liu Jing an order, Bring me a cup of coffee and make Miss Yan something that she likes! Liu Jing hurriedly followed his instructions, Miss Yan, what would you like? Yan Pianran smiled softly at the secretary, Same as Mr. Yuan. Yan Pianran had not expected Yuan Xuan to treat her nicely since she came uninvited. However, thanks to her career, she was used to such treatment. The family members of those who lost awsuit would oftensh out at her when they left the courtroom. They imed that she was twisting the facts for money and that she was a mereckey... She had heard all kinds of assumptions about her and met many extremely unpleasant people, thus she no longer cared when regarded her with a nk expression. In addition, Yuan Xuan was a very good-looking man. Despite being cold and distant, he was courteous enough to offer her coffee. She forgave him! Yan Pianran followed behind Yuan Xuan and entered his office. Yuan Xuan did not stop her. He sat down on the leather chair, switched on hisputer and started working. Meanwhile, Yan Pianran began looking around the office. She noticed that the office had no almost color, everything was either ck or white. While it was extremely dull, it seemed appropriate. In the corner of the office, there was a huge bookshelf and treadmill. In the middle of the office stood a massive desk made of Ebony wood. It was clean and uncluttered. Yuan Xuan sat at the desk, his long, slender fingers clicking the mouse with a solemn look on his face. The tall floor to ceiling windows behind him directly faced the rising sun and golden sunlight seeped into the office through the sheer white curtains. The man was bathed in the morning sunlight causing his well-defined features to appear even more dazzling. Yan Pianran was already past the age where her heart pounded, however, when she looked at Yuan Xuan, a desire suddenly stirred deep in her heart... CEO Yuan, your coffee! Liu Jing broke the silence when she entered the office holding two cups of coffee. Yan Pianran averted her gaze and feeling slightly embarrassed. She took a cup of coffee from Liu Jing and said softly, Thank you. Yuan Xuan raised his head and seemed to have just noticed that there was someone else in the office. Liu Jing ced the cup of coffee, turned around and left. Yuan Xuan rxed and tasted the coffee. He then turned a sharp gaze towards Yan Pianran and said quietly, Miss Yan, I have a wife! Yan Pianran was dumbfounded. She could notprehend what he meant! She only understood what he said after taking a moment to think. This was a direct rejection from him. Before she could open her mouth, Yuan Xuan continued. I know you came here because of my grandmother. Im sorry, but my wife is Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan leaned against the chair lightly. He did not beat around the bush and had never liked to y games. After all, it was better if he was direct. Yan Pianran listened to him quietly and did not interrupt. Once Yuan Xuan finished talking, he had a help yourself out look on his face. She smiled, pointed at the chair in front of Yuan Xuan and asked, Can we sit down and talk about it? Yuan Xuan nodded, Sure! Yan Pianran sat down in front of Yuan Xuan, took a small sip of coffee and smiled widely, I know Mr. Yuan was once married, your grandmother told me about it. However, I also know that your wife left Luo Hai three years ago and you havent heard from her since! As she spoke, she paused to observe Yuan Xuans reaction. Yuan Xuans expression sank, but there was no sorrow in his cold gaze. He rested his fingertips between his brows and did not say anything. Legally, if a married couple is separated for more than two years, they can request a divorce, alternatively, it could mean that they are already divorced. Yan Pianran spoke about legal provisions, which was her forte. Before she met Yuan Xuan, she already gained a thorough understanding of his marriage. Although she did not know the details, she knew that Mu Chenyan was once in prison. Besides, it was a fact that she had left three years ago. While I have confidence in Miss Yans legal expertise, Ive never considered requesting a divorce. After all, my wife may return anytime now. If she found out, shed definitely be upset. Yuan Xuan spoke rather earnestly, as though he was truly worried that Mu Chenyan might be upset. Yan Pianran was speechless. She could not believe that such an infatuated man existed. The womans fair little face had turned a little red and what was up with the butterflies in her stomach? Oh God, she was 28 years old already! How could she behave like this? Yan Pianran calmed down and said nonchntly, I admire your wife! Yes, she is indeed worthy of admiration! Yuan Xuan said solemnly. Ugh... Should he not be a little more modest? The odd feeling inside Yan Pianrans heart was growing stronger. She pushed her sses and a warm hint of a smile shed through her watery eyes. Then, she said casually, Mr. Yuan, to be honest, I did not have any feelings for you before I sat down! Yuan Xuan listened to her quietly with an I did not expect you to have any feelings for me look on his face. He had been raised well, so it was impossible for him to treat a woman rudely. Nheless, he unmistakably did not show any enthusiasm. ordingly, Yan Pianran could feel the coldness and distance from him. To be frank, I only came to see you to satisfy your grandmothers wish. After all, I promised the olddy. I thought that since both of us are of this age already, it would be unrealistic for us to be in an intense and passionate rtionship like the youngsters. Therefore, our rtionship would only go as far as the end of this arranged meeting. However, after having spent a brief moment with you, Ive changed my decision! As Yan Pianran spoke, there were hints of shyness in her voice and her face turned red. Then, she calmed herself down and continued, Ive always considered myself an exceptional person, so I would not ept just an ordinary man. After so many years, Ive seeded in my career, but theres nothing going on in my love life... In truth, Im a very proud woman and Im not sure if you understand what Ive just said. Your wife has been missing for so many years, and I respect your decision to continue loving her. Even so, I hope that you wille to terms with reality. If youre willing to, we can try to date each other. If Mu Chenyan were to return one day, Ill leave without hesitation... As Yan Pianran spoke, her face had gotten redder as this was her first time confessing to a man so directly. Yuan Xuan listened to her silently. He rested his chin on his hand and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. Suddenly, he spoke calmly, Miss Yan, would you do me a favor and have lunch with meter? Chapter 339 - We’re in The Same Profession, That’s Why We’re Enemies

Chapter 339: Were in The Same Profession, Thats Why Were Enemies

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion ... Yan Pianran was startled by the sudden invitation. She was dumbfounded and it took a moment for her to understand what Yuan Xuan meant. All she saw was the strikingly handsome man in front of her. His entire body radiated a mature and elegant aura, yet it had an intense wounding power. Years of experience had given him a mature charm that young men in their twenties could not equal. Yuan Xuan thought that she bothered, so he frowned and said softly, Miss Yan, if youre busy, lets do it another day? Yan Pianran was rather startled, as she had not expected this to happen. Therefore, she said a little excitedly, Today is fine! Yuan Xuan nodded and said with a smile, Then please wait for me until the afternoon, I need to finish up my work. Yan Pianran felt as if she was dreaming the entire time. She had confessed to a man she had just met and agreed to have lunch with him. Most importantly, the man was the one who invited her. She had heard rumors that the Third Young Master Yuan was a difficult man to approach, could it be that had finallye to his senses? This 28-year-old young girl felt as though she was experiencing ate-blooming romance. * It was almost 11 oclock when Yuan Xuan finished his final long-distance meeting. He then turned off hisputer, took Mu Chenyans photo from the table, ced it close to his lips and nted a light kiss, Little Chenyan, good afternoon! The woman in the picture was smiling brightly but she would not know that this infatuated man had waited for many years... Yan Jun had reserved a table in a hotel beforehand. They parked their car in the parking area and Yuan Xuan opened the car door for Yan Pianran like a gentleman. The two of them walked side by side and a few of the restaurants customers could not resist turning around to look. The man had an impressive presence and an outstanding aura. Whereas the woman was tall, slim and beautiful. The pair of them formed a beautiful picture when they walked together. Yuan Xuan passed the menu to Yan Pianran and smiled lightly with the corner of his lips curled up, Miss Yan, do you like western food? Not too bad, Im somewhat influenced by my few years studying overseas. Yuan Xuan nodded and thought about the few years Mu Chenyan spent in Ennd. She constantlyined about how a piece of steak could notpare to hot pot... Yan Pianran finished ordering and it was Yuan Xuans turn. She noticed that Yuan Xuan had ordered two portions and was a little curious, Are there other guestsing overter? Yuan Xuan passed the menu to the waiter and waved his hands towards the entrance, Yes, hes here Yan Pianran turned around and saw Wu Ze walking towards them quickly. Perhaps the man was thirsty when he arrived, as he smiled at Yan Pianran after he sat down, poured himself a cup of water and downed the entire cup. Then, he puckered his lips and spoke, Miss Yan, what a coincidence! Yuan Xuan saw the surprised look on Yan Pianrans face, and he asked calmly, You two know each other? Wu Ze smiled, revealing his shiny white teeth. He blinked his eye charmingly and said, Yes! Yan Pianrans face suddenly turned bright red. Her previous gentle and elegant image was gone as she mumbled, Were far more than that! Were very close! Wu Ze smiled brightly. Yuan Xuan heard it, sighed in relief and nodded, Thats good then, I dont have to worry anymore! Mr. Yuan, what do you mean? Yan Pianran suddenly felt something was wrong. She suppressed her anger and asked with a low voice. Then, she looked at Wu Ze a little vigntly and asked once more, Are you thinking about... Yes, this is my brother, Wu Ze, hes also a single older man. If Miss Yan does not mind, I can introduce both of you to each other... I mind! I mind! They both spoke with one voice. Humph! Yan Pianran gave Wu Ze the cold shoulder. She was born with cute features, so now that she had abandoned her older sister fa?ade, she looked even cuter with an angry expression. Wu Ze looked at Yuan Xuan and had a rough idea of what was going on. He then thought in his heart, as expected, Yuan Xuan was up to no good. He had invited him to lunch out of the blue so that he would take over for him. He wasnt sure when Mu Chenyan would return, and the Yuan Familys Old Mistress must have been pressuring him to get married. Yuan Xuan was being driven into a corner and he could not escape this time, so he asked him for help! Wu Ze could not help butugh when he thought about Yan Pianran. Indeed, it would be troublesome to get on this womans bad side. However, since Yuan Xuan had asked for his help, he would consider it. After all, he had encountered Yan Pianran a few times and she left quite a good impression. Being in a rtionship is all about spending time together. Since both of you are in the same profession, youll have manymon topics in the future. Yuan Xuan was trying his best to y cupid and he looked as though he wanted the best for both of them. Were in the same profession, thats why were enemies! Yan Pianran had a disgusted look on her face, You want me to be together with him? Haha! The woman deliberately ced emphasis on the words haha. Yuan Xuan looked at Wu Ze and signaled for him take the initiative. After all, a man should tolerate a woman even if she openly expressed her disdain. Wu Ze did not seem to be offended, instead, the handsome man smiled at Yan Pianran. Since we dont need to be in court today, lunch is not the time for debate. No matter how much Miss Yan hates me, can we at least finish this meal? Lets not waste Mr. Yuans effort! As he spoke, Wu Ze blinked at Yuan Xuan to show that he was trying. Yuan Xuan had figured something out from their conversation. It seemed like they had faced each other in court once and he had offended her. Nothing good ever came out of Wu Zes mouth. He must have offended her greatly, otherwise, she would not have lost her appetite the moment she saw him. No wonder Wu Ze was still single at the age of 30. Damn it! However, Yuan Xuan felt like Yan Pianran was an excellent match for Wu Ze... The waiter brought the prepared meal over to them on a small trolley. Wu Ze served Yan Pianran like a gentleman as he ced her cutleries and napkin for her. Despite how sharp-tongued Wu Ze was in court, he was, in fact, quite a gentleman. He was not only handsome and aloof but also a gentleman. It was no surprise that he popr with women. Therefore, he had an extremely good reputation among Luo Hais socialites. Although Yan Pianran once took a beating from Wu Ze, he was still Yuan Xuans friend, so she could not ruin his reputation. Wu Ze was very friendly, and he even told Yan Pianran a few jokes. It looked as though he was the main character of this arranged marriage. However, his enthusiasm made Yan Pianran ufortable throughout the entire lunch. The woman looked at Yuan Xuan from time to time with a whining look in her eyes. If Yan Pianran could electrocute someone with her eyes, she would have electrocuted Yuan Xuan just then... In a few days, Ill be taking a trip to Capital City! After they finished eating, Yuan Xuans eyes turned dark for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice, The both of you should keep in contact during this time! Yan Pianran, ... Did he just sell me out? Wu Ze, Dont worry! I wont disappoint you! Yan Pianran, ... Shameless! After they parted ways, Wu Ze sent Yan Pianran home. On the way there, the man was overjoyed. He joked constantly and her spirit was lifted. When they mentioned about Yuan Xuan, Yan Pianran could not help but sigh, she knew that it was an unrequited love. Even so, she did not feel anything towards Wu Ze. At most, she saw him as a friend instead of an enemy. Wu Ze parked his car in front of Yan Pianrans house and looked at the design of the huge building. The building was built in a European style and it blended in with the beautiful surrounding country scenery. It looked solemn yet beautiful. He could not help but sigh, this ancient family had great taste. In addition to Yan Jiangsheng who was a businessman, the majority of the Yan Family were in the education, legal, forensic, and medical professions. Yan Pianrans parents were university professors. It was natural for the daughter of such a family to abide by the rules. This was Wu Zes first visit, so he did not visit her house. Therefore, he waved at Yan Pianran and cheerfully said, Can I have your number? Yan Pianran was stunned and hesitated for a moment. Then, she took her phone out from her bag, unlocked it and passed it to Wu Ze, Save it by yourself! Usually, under such circumstances, the girl would tell you her number and ask you to call her. Then, she would call you back after saving your number. That would happen less than fifty percent of the time. Yan Pianrans move was a sign of sincerity. Wu Ze took her phone and they exchanged numbers. He then smiled at Yan Pianran, The next time we meet in court, Ill have mercy! No need for that! When Yan Pianran heard that he wanted to go easy on her, she was a little unhappy, Youre doubting my ability! Wu Zeughed, and his impression of this girl grew better. Yan Pianran had to go inside her house, so Wu Ze waved her goodbye. He then averted his gaze and his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the number, the smile on his face froze instantly. Wu Ze pressed the ept button and a womans voice came from the other end of the phone, Big Brother Wu, how are you recently? Wu Zes panicking heart shuddered and he cleared his throat, Not bad! You? Me too! Recently, Ive had to go to Capital City to do a few reports. You once told me that you often travel to Capital City for cases, so Im letting you know beforehand. If youreing over, do contact me anytime... Wu Ze was stunned. He immediately recalled that man saying he was about to travel to Capital City for a business trip just now. Capital City was such arge city; it would not be easy for them to bump into each other. Words were stuck in Wu Zes throat and he did not say anything. It would be fate if they were to meet each other. Perhaps, it was impossible to sever all ties between the two of them... Chapter 340 - Even After Three Years, Guo Jingze Still Was Not Over the Way She Looked…

Chapter 340: Even After Three Years, Guo Jingze Still Was Not Over the Way She Looked...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze said smilingly, I just went there some time ago, so I wont be going there anytime soon. Why dont youe back to Luo Hai and well meet up here? Mu Chenyan heard the two words Luo Hai and her palms started to sweat. She held her phone and shook her head, I dont think Ill be returning to Luo Hai. Hows my mothertely? Wu Ze knew that she did not dare return to Luo Hai. Furthermore, she was afraid to face her past. After all, the love of her life was here... Fortunately, the doctor said that she has recovered very well and can now eat by herself. However, you know that she lost her senses for many years. Even if she came back to her senses, she might not have memories of the past... Yes, I know! Mu Chenyans voice was shaking slightly. She suppressed the pain in her heart and said in a low voice, Big Brother Wu, thank you for helping me the past few years, thank you... Chenyan, youre being too modest. Yuan Xuan was the one who looked after Aunty Yan all this time! Wu Ze said Yuan Xuans name and he heard her whimper softly. Wu Ze was surprised, and he said softly, Chenyan, why are you torturing yourself? Youre hurting so much just from hearing his name. If you love him, why torment each other? Mu Chenyan who was on the other side of the phone put her hands over her mouth and tears flowed past her cheeks towards her fingers. Chenyan, why wont you give him a chance? This way, youre also giving yourself a chance. Mu Chenyan stopped Wu Ze from speaking further, Big Brother Wu, I cant... I cant face him... Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and her heart was trembling. When she recalled that scene, she could not help but shudder. The scene when Yuan Tangbai was killed was too cruel! Mu Chenyan did not know how much pain Yuan Xuans heart must have felt all these years to forgive the daughter of the man who killed his father... Moreover, she had been foolish enough to believe in Mu Chenwus words and allowed him to distort the truth. At that time, she misunderstood the pain in Yuan Xuans heart. The pain that Yuan Xuan had felt for the past ten years was far greater than hers. How could she act as if nothing had happened and continue to be in Yuan Xuans life? If it was possible, she should use her pain to redeem her sins! After hanging up on the phone, the woman looked outside of the window. It was already autumn, and it had almost been four years since she had left Yuan Xuan... * Capital City Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan would be staying over for a few days and he was overjoyed. Capital City was the Shao Familys territory. Back when Shao Yibai was fooling around in Luo Hai, he had received a warm wee from the people of Luo Hai and had always wanted to return the favor. Yuan Xuan initially nned to stay in a hotel, but Jiao Shufen would not allow him to do so. If youre in Capital City, it means that youve arrived at our doorstep. If rumors of you staying in a hotel spread to the public, who knows what the others would think about your aunt! The Shao Family had a few properties in Capital City and Shao Yibai had already discussed with his mother. He would clean up the two hundred square feet apartment in Shang Ting Yuan for Yuan Xuan to live in temporarily. Jiao Shufen had not seen Yuan Xuan for a few years, and she missed him very much. The night that Yuan Xuan arrived, she invited Yuan Xuan to have dinner at her house and asked someone to prepare a guest room. She only allowed him to return to Shang Ting Yuan after she was done catching up with him. At night, the moon was bright, but there were only a few stars, and the weather in Capital City already had embraced autumns cold breeze. On the balcony of the Shao Familys Mansion, two extremely outstanding men were sitting on the sofa while they sipped red wine and chatted. It has almost been four years already, right? Shao Yibai asked suddenly. Yuan Xuan was stunned for a moment. The stars were shining brightly and there was a hint of surprise in the corner of his eyes, Youre talking about Mu Chenyan? Shao Yibai smiled and did not say anything. Yuan Xuan swirled the ss of wine in his hand and said calmly, Shes been gone for almost four years already! This woman is truly cruel. She hasnt contacted Shu Qingcheng even once. Have you asked her other friends? Yuan Xuans dark eyes contracted slightly, She doesnt have any other friends, except for Yuan Tian. However, Yuan Tian has been taken away by Shen Muqiu. The only way to contact her is through Wu Ze. But, Ive never asked Wu Ze. Im afraid that once she finds out about it, even Wu Ze will not receive any news from her. Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenyan was not being cruel, just that she did not want him to pursue her. Shao Yibai sighed, What do you n to do in the future? Continue looking for her? Shao Yibai knew that no one could stop Yuan Xuan when he set mind straight on something. I dont have any ns. The man smiled faintly, I treat it as my wife throwing a tantrum and went somewhere else to have fun. Once her anger has subsided, naturally shell return! Shao Yibai, ... * Capital Citys Police Academy. The academy invited a well-known ichnology professional in the country, Professor Shen Muchen, to give an academic report. Mu Chenyan was Professor Shen Muchens disciple. She worked as Professor Shens assistant and had learned from him for almost three years. This was their third time going to Capital City for a speech. Mu Chenyans phone rang while she was halfway through preparing the materials needed for the Professors speech the next day. Chenyan, mom knows that youvee to Capital City and she has prepared dinner. Iming to pick you up. Guo Jingze said cautiously, as though he was worried that Mu Chenyan might reject her. Mu Chenyans hand froze for a moment while she held the phone and she said gently, Okay. I did not have time to visit her the previous two times. Coincidently, youre also in Capital City this time for a business trip, so you can apany me there. Guo Jingze was so happy it looked as though he had gotten a reward. He nodded his head repeatedly. Oh right, I still have some materials that I need to prepare for the professor. Im worried that Ill be in a rushter and the malls are about to close. Can you help me get a present for mom? The malls closing was just an excuse. Mu Chenyan knew that her mother-inws side of the family was very demanding, and they were considered a respected noble family in Capital City. Moreover, she did not have any experience in pleasing a mother-inw. She had been married to Guo Jingze for three years, yet she had never personally picked her a present. Guo Jingzi smiled lightly and said, Ive already prepared one, all you need to do ise over. Ill go to your hotel and pick you up at 5? Okay! After hanging up the phone, Mu Chenyan sighed in relief. They had gotten married for their own goals and their marriage was in name only. Nevertheless, they needed to pretend that things were perfect in front of their families. ... Before 5 oclock, Guo Jingzes car was waiting in front of Professor Shens hotel. The handsome man was neither anxious nor irritated. He did not prompt her with phone calls and all he did was wait at the front door quietly. The man looked handsome and elegant, yet his charming features were not sharply defined. He did notck the gentle and modest qualities that the other young men from aristocratic families had. Wherever he went, his easy-going temperament left people feelingfortable. Moreover, he was a man who loved to smile. It was ten past five when Mu Chenyan rushed out of the hotel. The woman was still slender, and her skin was as fair as jade. She had grown out her hair and curled it slightly. When she ran, her hair danced in the wind like a waterfall. She was blushing slightly from fatigue and her eyes turned red from rushing. Then, she said in a low voice, Sorry, Imte. As she spoke, she rubbed the tip of her nose and reached her hands down to smoothen out her dress that had gotten wrinkled from rushing over. It appeared as if she was blushing shyly like a twenty-year-old youngdy. Even after three years, Guo Jingze still was not over the way she looked... Chapter 342 - Shao Yibai’s Intense Malice

Chapter 342: Shao Yibais Intense Malice

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What are the two of you discussing about, so happily? No one knew when Guo Jingze had stood behind the two women. He had changed into light gray leisurewear. Handsome, elegant and graceful as the lustre of jade, every part of him was a disy of excellent upbringing and manners. If his mother did not invite him, he would not take a half-a-step closer. Come over. Its something good. Wu Meiyun was delighted, and her face could not hide her emotions. She tugged at her son and said smilingly, Ive discussed with Xiao Xiao about introducing her to my circle of sisters during a small gathering in a few days. Guo Jingzes expression suddenly shifted. He looked at his mother coldly and suppressed his anger as he spoke, Why didnt you talk to me first? Xiao Xiao doesnt like these kinds of parties. Back when we got married, I told you that Xiao Xiao can choose not to participate in any of the Guo Familys ceremonial events... The Guo Jingze that Mu Chenyan knew had always been gentle and cultured. Even to strangers, he would maintain his manners and be reserved. She could not determine why he was this angry at the moment. When Wu Meiyun saw that her son, who rarely spoke to her in such a tone, had flipped and became hostile towards her just because of her decision to have her daughter-inw attend a party, she was upset. She moved her lips, and there were traces ofints in her eyes, but in the end, she said nothing. Mu Chenyan saw Wu Meiyuns forlorn expression and understood the downheartedness suppressed in the dejected mothers heart. She hurriedly interrupted Guo Jingzes words. Jing Ze, I willingly agreed to attend! Guo Jingze was taken aback. Turning around to look at Mu Chenyan, his mouth opened slightly as he attempted to digest the news. Mu Chenyan nodded, her twinkling eyes made people feel like pouring their love and affection towards her. Mom just won my consent. I think that since weve been married for three years, it wouldnt be a bad thing to meet a few of the aunts around. After all, Im flesh and blood, not the sweet that thats afraid of melting (TN: when you refer to someone as the sweet that youre afraid will melt in your mouth, it means you cherish that person dearly and that nothing more could be added)! Mu Chenyanughed casually as she spoke, while Wu Meiyun looked gratefully at her daughter-inw. When Guo Jingze heard that, he felt somewhat lost and uneasy. If you stay in the Capital City for too long, what about Professor Shen... It shouldnt be a problem. Ill ask him for a few days off! Mu Chenyan was not enthusiastic about this gathering, but knowing that this incident would create a gap between her mother-inw and Guo Jingze, she could not avoid her responsibilities. Guo Jingze could not seem to find any other reason to stop her, so he said inly, Since youve both agreed, then go ahead! If you need any help, Ill have Liu Minge over! Mu Chenyan suspected that Guo Jingze was ten thousand times more reluctant in his heart. Previously, she was the one who did not want to make any public appearances, and Guo Jingzes had always been very supportive of her. Mu Chenyan had regarded that as him respecting her wishes. However, right now, Guo Jingzes mannerisms and expression seemed to indicate that he was disinclined to introduce Mu Chenyan to his circle of friends. Theres no need for that. You just go and settle your affairs. The guards here can take care of it. Wu Meiyuns heart was secretly ted. The moment she returned to her bedroom and before she even had time to talk to Old Man Guo, she first announced the news in her girlfriends group chat. The group chat suddenly came to life, and everyone began talking about it spiritedly. The Guo Familys daughter-inw had been married for three years, but no one had even seen a photo of her, to say nothing of getting a glimpse of her. Guo Jingze had hidden his wife so well, that outsiders began specting that there was a problem with the childs mother. However, out of those who had seen Yan Muyu, there were none who did not boast that the child was beautiful, and looked like a porcin doll. The only thing that no one couldprehend was that the Guo Family had actually agreed to the child using the mothers surname. One had to know that although the Guo Family was not the number one household in the Capital City, it was still, after all, a distinguished family, and the boy was the eldest grandson! This was enough to show how high a position this daughter-inw had in the family. Needless to say, her sisters in the group chat responded enthusiastically to Wu Meiyuns invitation, and they got together the next day to shop for dresses in preparation for the party. ... Jiao Shufen turned over the house but did not find any suitable dress. She looked into the mirror andmented that she had put on 10 pounds of weight,ining that the years were not forgiving. When Shao Yibai came back from the outside and saw his mother putting on a green cheongsam, his eyes shone brightly, and hemented smilingly, Big beauty, what tricks are you up to? Tricks my foot! Show some respect! Jiao Shufen tried it on, but she was still dissatisfied. Sheined, The day after tomorrow is your Aunt Mei Yuns family party. Shes going to present to us her daughter-inw. How can I attend without any clothes? Shao Yibai looked at the seven or eight wardrobes around the house that were full of clothes, yet her mother was stillining about being nude. He could not help but remark, This woman is really... Even if there were a thousand pieces of clothes here, shed still feel like she had none. Oh right, what did you say just now? Aunt Mei Yun wants to introduce her daughter-inw? Shao Yibai also knew Guo Jingze. He was aware that Guo Jingze had a shotgun marriage a few years back, and a smile emerged in his heart. He actually got himself a wife? Wasnt there a rumor going around in the Capital City saying that hes sick? Sensing her sons intense malice, Jiao Shufen tapped Shao Yibai on the forehead. What sickness? Dont listen to those rumors! When you were young, you were wild and always bullied him. Now that he has a wife and child, why dont take a look at yourself! Being tapped on the head, Shao Yibai felt very displeased in his heart. He replied with an ambiguous tone, Its not like you dont have a daughter-inw but that when she was right in front of you, you didnt cherish her! Jiao Shufen knew that Shao Yibai still held a grudge against her because of Su Qingcheng. The mother and son quickly ended the topic. Youre to attend the gathering the day after tomorrow too. Now that Jingze has grown up, youve got to show some manners and not bully him! Listening to his mothers arrangement, Shao Yibai could not help butugh. Look at how old we are. Do you think Ill ride on his shoulders and beat him up? Since its a gathering, Ill invite Yuan Xuan too. I hear that among your girlfriends, some of their daughters are still waiting to get married. I could seize this opportunity and maybe persuade that bullheaded fool to find a good woman! Hearing that, Jiao Shufen sighed, How thoughtful of you. Quick, give Yuan Xuan a call! Yuan Xuan received a phone call from Shao Yibai, inviting him to attend the party, but he declined. Its my first time in the Capital City, and I dont know any people in the circle you mentioned. Shao Yibai already knew that Yuan Xuan would not join in the festivities. He smiled lightly. Youll get acquainted with them once youre present. Speaking of which, Old Man Guo has some ties with the Yuan Family. When Yuan Xuan heard that he pondered for a moment, Do you mean Guo Haisheng? Yuan Xuan recalled that among his fathers formerrades, one of them held a post in the Capital City. Before he retired, although the Guo Family did not send someone over, they would send gifts every year. The Old Mistress once said that if there was ever an opportunity, he should go to the Capital City to requite their gifts. Alright, Ill go! Yuan Xuan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart... Chapter 342 - Shao Yibai’s Intense Malice

Chapter 342: Shao Yibais Intense Malice

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What are the two of you discussing about, so happily? No one knew when Guo Jingze had stood behind the two women. He had changed into light gray leisurewear. Handsome, elegant and graceful as the lustre of jade, every part of him was a disy of excellent upbringing and manners. If his mother did not invite him, he would not take a half-a-step closer. Come over. Its something good. Wu Meiyun was delighted, and her face could not hide her emotions. She tugged at her son and said smilingly, Ive discussed with Xiao Xiao about introducing her to my circle of sisters during a small gathering in a few days. Guo Jingzes expression suddenly shifted. He looked at his mother coldly and suppressed his anger as he spoke, Why didnt you talk to me first? Xiao Xiao doesnt like these kinds of parties. Back when we got married, I told you that Xiao Xiao can choose not to participate in any of the Guo Familys ceremonial events... The Guo Jingze that Mu Chenyan knew had always been gentle and cultured. Even to strangers, he would maintain his manners and be reserved. She could not determine why he was this angry at the moment. When Wu Meiyun saw that her son, who rarely spoke to her in such a tone, had flipped and became hostile towards her just because of her decision to have her daughter-inw attend a party, she was upset. She moved her lips, and there were traces ofints in her eyes, but in the end, she said nothing. Mu Chenyan saw Wu Meiyuns forlorn expression and understood the downheartedness suppressed in the dejected mothers heart. She hurriedly interrupted Guo Jingzes words. Jing Ze, I willingly agreed to attend! Guo Jingze was taken aback. Turning around to look at Mu Chenyan, his mouth opened slightly as he attempted to digest the news. Mu Chenyan nodded, her twinkling eyes made people feel like pouring their love and affection towards her. Mom just won my consent. I think that since weve been married for three years, it wouldnt be a bad thing to meet a few of the aunts around. After all, Im flesh and blood, not the sweet that thats afraid of melting (TN: when you refer to someone as the sweet that youre afraid will melt in your mouth, it means you cherish that person dearly and that nothing more could be added)! Mu Chenyanughed casually as she spoke, while Wu Meiyun looked gratefully at her daughter-inw. When Guo Jingze heard that, he felt somewhat lost and uneasy. If you stay in the Capital City for too long, what about Professor Shen... It shouldnt be a problem. Ill ask him for a few days off! Mu Chenyan was not enthusiastic about this gathering, but knowing that this incident would create a gap between her mother-inw and Guo Jingze, she could not avoid her responsibilities. Guo Jingze could not seem to find any other reason to stop her, so he said inly, Since youve both agreed, then go ahead! If you need any help, Ill have Liu Minge over! Mu Chenyan suspected that Guo Jingze was ten thousand times more reluctant in his heart. Previously, she was the one who did not want to make any public appearances, and Guo Jingzes had always been very supportive of her. Mu Chenyan had regarded that as him respecting her wishes. However, right now, Guo Jingzes mannerisms and expression seemed to indicate that he was disinclined to introduce Mu Chenyan to his circle of friends. Theres no need for that. You just go and settle your affairs. The guards here can take care of it. Wu Meiyuns heart was secretly ted. The moment she returned to her bedroom and before she even had time to talk to Old Man Guo, she first announced the news in her girlfriends group chat. The group chat suddenly came to life, and everyone began talking about it spiritedly. The Guo Familys daughter-inw had been married for three years, but no one had even seen a photo of her, to say nothing of getting a glimpse of her. Guo Jingze had hidden his wife so well, that outsiders began specting that there was a problem with the childs mother. However, out of those who had seen Yan Muyu, there were none who did not boast that the child was beautiful, and looked like a porcin doll. The only thing that no one couldprehend was that the Guo Family had actually agreed to the child using the mothers surname. One had to know that although the Guo Family was not the number one household in the Capital City, it was still, after all, a distinguished family, and the boy was the eldest grandson! This was enough to show how high a position this daughter-inw had in the family. Needless to say, her sisters in the group chat responded enthusiastically to Wu Meiyuns invitation, and they got together the next day to shop for dresses in preparation for the party. ...

Chapter 343 - Third Young Master Yuan Is Here

Chapter 343: Third Young Master Yuan Is Here

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Meiyun began to make the preparations on her end; from the hotel to the banquet specifications, from the reception to the clothing and the line of propriety gifts, she single-handedly managed it all for two days. When Mu Chenyan saw the dress sent by her mother-inw, everything instantly became clear. The dress had been prepared long beforehand, and this party was definitely not an idea that just popped up in Wu Meiyuns head recently. Because Mu Chenyan did not want to live in the Guo Family Mansion, Wu Meiyun sent her son away to go apany Mu Chenyan at the hotel. She thought that Guo Jingze would stay in the same hotel as Mu Chenyan. On the morning of the third day, Wu Meiyun called her son and asked him toe over with Mu Chenyan. Guo Jingze replied without much thinking, Im going to pick her up at Huajing Grand Hotel, so Ill be a littlete! Wu Meiyun was surprised. Didnt you stay together with Xiao Xiao? Guo Jingze was on the phone as he came out of the washroom. Walking to the balcony, what entered his eyes was the panoramic view of the Capital City. He knew that it was a slip of the tongue. Last night, Hua Jing Grand Hotel had a reception group and the rooms were full, so he did not stay there but at a five-star hotel two kilometers away from Hua Jing. No, I had dinner after a meetingst night, and I drank too much, so I stayed over here... Seriously, how could you over drink with those people? You left Xiao Xiao alone in the room. What will she think of that? You shouldnt do this in the future! Wu Meiyun was very reasonable. Thinking of the fact that her daughter-inw was unfamiliar with the people and ces in the Capital City, she somewhat med her son. Guo Jingze hung up the phone and slumped onto a chair dejectedly. The oriental white shattered as a ray of sunshine broke through the morning, giving off a glorious radiance instantly. The mans heart was filled with grievances, but there was no ce to vent. He and Mu Chenyan had always been sleeping apart in their respective rooms. ... Wu Meiyun had said that it was a small-sized gathering with her girlfriends. After Mu Chenyan arrived, only then did she realize that she had underestimated the small size that her mother-inw meant. The Guo Family was rather prominent among the Capital Citys sphere of powerful people. Although Old Master Guo had retired, his prestige still remained, and he had many friends and subordinates too. Wu Meiyun was also an outgoing person, and she maintained close contact with thedies in her social circle. Hence, when the people heard that Old Wu was going to showcase her daughter-inw, coupled with the fact that this mysterious cold beauty was someone they had long yearned to have a glimpse of, all those who received the invitation card showed up. The family members who were simr to Guo Jingzes age were also brought along. They had the same thinking as Shao Yibai; if there were any family with the right candidate, at least they would be of the same social circle, and one should keep the goodies within the family so as to not benefit outsiders. The banquet was organized in the grand hall of the Emperors Restaurant. It was not yet six in the evening, but Wu Meiyun had already led Mu Chenyan to wee the guests at the entrance. Mu Chenyan applied a light makeup today, and her seaweed-like dense, ck hair was tied up high. Guo Jingze had chosen a set of blue diamond essories for her. With Mu Chenyans already fair skin, just a casual dress up would be able to bring out her charm. The luminescence of the blue diamond had a noble and mysterious air to it, making her look like an elegant white swan. The group of friends and rtives who had never seen Mu Chenyan were full of praises. Old Wu, youve been keeping such a beautiful daughter-inw away from us for years. How could you be this mean? Yeah, its said that Old Wu is a low-key person, but isnt this too low profile? Wu Meiyuns face bloomed like a flower as people poured out their admirations, and she responded to each of them non-stop. After standing for a while, almost all the guests had arrived. Wu Meiyun began to bring Mu Chenyan around the venue to give a toast to the bunch of distant rtives, and as the saying goes, where there were many women, there would be ceaseless talks. Mu Chenyan was already well-prepared, and she answered each of them one by one. Suddenly, a fruit te identally slipped from a waiters hand, and it fell to the ground, sttering the puree onto Mu Chenyan. Its alright. Theres a spare dress at the back lounge. You can change into that. Wu Meiyun had witnessed such an incident countless times, so she had everything prepared beforehand. She quickly pulled Mu Chenyan over andforted her. Mu Chenyan nodded lightly, apologized to the people around, and walked away to change. As soon as Mu Chenyan left, three more people arrived at the venue. Jiao Shufen appeared with Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan, causing most of the peoples gaze to be affixed on them. There was no need to mention the Shao Familys reputation in the Capital City. Shao Yibai was the type of person to have a magnesium light ring shining on him wherever he went; on the other hand, the person who stood beside Shao Yibai was somewhat mysterious to the Capital Citys socialites! Its the Third Young Master of the Yuan Family in Luo Hai... Someone immediately recognized this outstanding man to be the heir of the Yuan Family. Ive heard about him for a long time. Todays my first time seeing him, and he really doesnt look ordinary... The Yuan Family has dominated the Southeast area for many years. Could his presence now at the Capital City mean that they are nning to switch their battlefield? ... The peoplesments and attention quickly caused Jiao Shufens trio to be the center of attraction. For Yuan Xuan, he had long been used to this kind of attention. The expression in the mans eyes was indifferent and courteous. He presented his gift to Wu Meiyun. Wu Meiyun was also somewhat ttered. In the early years, when Guo Haisheng was working with Yuan Tangbai, the man was still a baby. Right now though, he was already all grown-up and could assume personal responsibilities, walking tall in all areas. Now that he was personally present, Wu Meiyun suddenly felt that she had neglected her formalities. Shufen, you couldve informed me. I had no idea Third Young Master Yuan is around, otherwise, Id surely send a personal invitation! Jiao Shufenined of some dissatisfaction, Dont talk about inviting personally. The invitation card you gave me had the wrong address printed on it. We wasted an hour on the road and were even caught up in the evening rush hour. Hearing that, Wu Meiyun was rmed. Hows that possible? She took the invitation card from Jiao Shufen and at a nce, it was indeed misprinted! There were three Emperors Restaurants in the Capital City, and the address on Jiao Shufens card was 5 kilometers away from this one they were at. At that time, she only knew from the group chat that there would be a party, but she did not take note which of the three branches it was held at. Jiao Shufen ordered the driver to send them to the address, but upon arriving, the restaurant said that there was no party going on. She then hurriedly called others, only to find out that it was here. Wu Meiyun was very sorry for this mix-up. The invitation cards were sent out by Guo Jingze. I dont know how something like this could happen... Wu Meiyun was extremely puzzled. The cards were all printed together at the same time, so how could there be such a mistake? Jingze? Shao Yibai did not see him after scanning the room, not to mention the bride who was three yearste! ... Mu Chenyan had changed her dress, but just as she was about to go out, she was suddenly stopped by the man waiting at the door. Jingze, why are you here? Mu Chenyan walked out and curiously watched Guo Jingze at the same time. Guo Jingzes expression was dark. He suddenly said, Third Young Master Yuan is here! The moment Mu Chenyan heard that line, it was like she was struck by lightning. She stared at Guo Jingze, her mouth opened but no sound came out of it. If you go outside, you can see him now! Guo Jingzes voice was cold. Do you want to? Mu Chenyan felt ice-cold. It was like she could not hear any of the noise on the outside. One wall apart; that man was standing over the other side, shining with glorious splendor... If you dont want to see him,e with me! Guo Jingze said ndly. It was he who asked the waiter in the hall to deliberately stain her skirt. He did not want Mu Chenyan to cross path with Yuan Xuan. You want to take me away? Mu Chenyan was in a state of confusion at this time. She did not know what to do. Her first reaction, of course, was to escape, but when she heard that mans name, it was as if the soles of her feet were nailed to the ground. Xiao Xiao? Havent you finished changing yet? before Guo Jingze had answered, Wu Meiyuns voice travelled in, and she was already at the door. Mu Chenyan noticed Guo Jingze had be extremely anxious all of a sudden, but he only gazed coldly at Mu Chenyan. When you see him, will you go with him? There was no such concept in Mu Chenyans mind. Her small hand sped her dress, saying nothing. Her breath was rapid, and her heart was racing madly. A voice kept echoing in her ears over and over again C the man you love is just in the hall next door... When Wu Meiyun came in and saw his son there, she put the me on him. Better hurry up. Theres a new guest Id like to introduce to you! Mu Chenyan definitely knew who this new guest was... Xiao Xiao,e with me now! Wu Meiyun ignored Guo Jingzes pale face and pulled Mu Chenyan, leading her outside. Mu Chenyans legs were stiff. She had no idea how she moved to the hall with Wu Meiyun. Right before entering the hall, Guo Jingze suddenly rushed over from behind. Grabbing her waist, his eyes reddened as he spoke in a low voice, Ill personally introduce him to you! Mu Chenyan had a feeling that Guo Jingze was unwilling to do so in actual fact! Shao Yibai was bored as he waited for Guo Jingze toe out so that he could tease him. Suddenly, he spotted the once fair little boy was now tall and sturdy, disying an imposing manner. More importantly, looking at the woman in his embrace, why did she look familiar? That woman... Shao Yibai tugged at Yuan Xuan and spoke no more. Yuan Xuan looked at the direction Shao Yibai was pointing at. He did not know Guo Jingze, but the woman beside him, Yuan Xuan could probably still identify her even if she turned into ashes! Mu Chenyan!! Chapter 344 - The Moist Lips Came Pressing Down…

Chapter 344: The Moist Lips Came Pressing Down...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans gaze was like shes of lightning streaking across the sky. It was so piercing cold that people could not look straight into his eyes. Mu Chenyans legs felt like they were loaded with lead as she mechanically moved her feet. Every step she made, it was as if she could hear her footsteps pounding on her hearts door. That... is really Mu... Before Shao Yibai could finish his words, the corner of his shirt was yanked by Yuan Xuan. Shao Yibai was not a fool. In the end, he did not finish saying Mu Chenyans name. Shao Yibai shifted his gaze and swept across Yuan Xuan. Seeing Yuan Xuans calm, non-perturbed, and steady expression, Shao Yibai silently gave him 10086 likes in his heart. F*ck! He truly was Third Young Master Yuan! He had been searching for his wife whom he yearned for day and night. Now that she was right in front him, he could actually manage to be this calm still. This level of performance really showed how exceedingly strong his psychological state was ... This is the Guo Familys house party. It wont be nice to create chaos. Yuan Xuan really was someone that thought ahead! The man stared straight at Mu Chenyan. The little face that he could not stop thinking about for thousands of days and nights was, at this moment, flushing red and white non-stop. The woman who was trying to hide her uneasiness mechanically smiled and greeted Jiao Shufen, and then she was forced to look at Yuan Xuan. Xiao Xiao, this is the Shao Familys grandson, Shao Yibai. He was one of Ze Zes best ymates when they were young! When Shao Yibai was being introduced to her, Mu Chenyan stared nkly at Shao Yibai and greeted him with a smile, Hello... Shao Yibai responded with a smile as he sneaked a peek at Yuan Xuans face. Somber, strange, ironic... Xiao Xiao? No wonder even after searching for a few years, he still could not find her. She had changed her name. With the Guo Family protecting her in the background, one could be sure that she would only hide deeper. This is Third Young Master from Luo Hai... Whatever Wu Meiyun said after that, none of the words entered Mu Chenyans ears. It was an absurd scene. She had acted lovey-dovey with Yuan Xuan before, fought, kissed, and gone to bed with him. They had had the nearest negative distance in the world, and they could not have gotten more intimate than that... Now that they were in front of each other, they had to pretend to be strangers and even be introduced to each other by others. Wu Meiyun and Jiao Shufen saw that it was all young people here, and went to look for their other sisters after introducing one another, leaving the four who were slightly awkward together. Mrs Guo looks very much like an old friend of mine! Yuan Xuan suddenly spoke up, his eyes looking sharply at Mu Chenyan as if he was trying to find some ws on her face. Oh? Im very curious. Which old friend of Mr Yuan does my missus resemble? Mu Chenyan had not opened her mouth, but Guo Jingze on the side took over the conversation and emphasized the words my missus, proiming dominion. Mu Chenyan felt Guo Jingzes hand on her waist tighten, and she looked down ufortably. When Yuan Xuan heard Guo Jingzes deration, his brows knitted closely together. However, he still maintained his good manners. Looking into the distance, a smile emerged in the corner of his lips as he inly said, My missus! Guo Jingzes hand trembled. Even Mu Chenyan looked up at Yuan Xuan with surprised. This was the Guo Familys house party. Was Yuan Xuan going to expose her identity here? My missus is very mischievous. She likes to be lovey-dovey, acts dumb, and sometimes even throws a tantrum... but she has always been my darling! Ill forgive her no matter whatever wrongs shesmitted... Yuan Xuans dark pupils glowed as he gazed steadily Mu Chenyan. Then where did your missus go? Guo Jingze pretended to ask as he looked at Mu Chenyan in his arms. His breath was somewhat unstable. She has been away from me for almost four years! Yuan Xuan looked into Mu Chenyans eyes with deep affection as he spoke. He continued, Ive always thought that she had just lost her way while going out to y and that she should be home soon... Until one day I found out that my beloved darling had been picked up by others! Guo Jingze was speechless Mu Chenyan was lost for words as well. Shao Yibai immediately gave a thumbs up to Yuan Xuan in his heart for this wave of flirtation. You the man, Third Young Master Yuan. He actually discreetly showered the others who were single with his public disy of affection. From the beginning, Mu Chenyan did not have a chance to say anything. To be exact, she was making sounds of whimpering. Her throat felt salty, and she could not talk to Yuan Xuan casually as if nothing had happened. Shao Yibai suddenly pulled Guo Jingze over and deliberately shouted, Many are saying that since youve been hiding your missus for three years, you should be punished with three cups of wine. Youve got no way of escaping it. Shao Yibai dragged Guo Jingze to one side as he dered this. Guo Jingze was unable to resist Shao Yibai, but he could not help but worry about Mu Chenyan, so he kept looking back as he walked. He sensed something unusual as he looked at Mu Chenyan. Xiao Xiao... Guo Jingze eyes reddened and he reminded her softly, Remember our agreement! Mu Chenyans body trembled. The persistence and viciousness in Yuan Xuans eyes struck her like shes of lightning as if they were questioning, What pact have you made with him? Mu Chenyans eyes became misty. She turned around and strode in the direction of the washroom. This space felt so oppressive that it was suffocating her. She hid in a corner and shivered, breaking into tears, but she did not dare to make any sound. Tears flowed uncontrobly between her fingers! She thought that by leaving, time would make her forget everything, but she did not expect that leaving would only make them all the more memorable. The moment she saw Yuan Xuan, she heard a voice in her heart screaming, Go over and hug him... She loved him; there was no doubt about it! Even if he did not say those affectionate words, she still would have wanted to hug him without any regards... However, she could not do that. Those cruel facts were like a ravine separating her and Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan clearly remembered the video Mu Chenwu left her. The malicious man was smiling as if his ns had prevailed, and he called her Princess Xi Fan... To her, Yuan Xuan was close at hand but still far beyond the horizon. ... Looking into the mirror in the washroom, the woman took four to five deep breaths. Only then did she manage to suppress the intense tremor that had surged from the bottom of her heart. She touched up her make-up so that she did not look like she was in a sorry state. As she had just cried, there was a kind of charm on her that would make people want to love her tenderly when they see her. Being a cowardly turtle was not the solution. After touching up her make-up, Mu Chenyan exited the washroom. She had just stepped out when she saw the handsome man leaning against the wall. His whole head was buried within the wafting tobo smoke. His figure had a kind of decadent beauty along with a sinister air. Such a man had a high level of lethality. Mu Chenyan instantly stopped in her tracks, and a kind of desire arose from her thumping heart... When he saw that Mu Chenyan had finallye out of the bathroom, the man threw the cigarette butt away and strode over to her. Unlike the quiet and self-controlled person in the hall just now, he was currently like a raging lion. His scarlet eyes alerted her that this man had lost his reasoning at this time. Mu Chenyan took a step back in fear, Yuan Xuan... Before her words had faltered, her slim waist was embraced by him. The man held her head, and his burning lips came pressing down... Mmm... Mu Chenyan only heard herself making a sobbing sound when her tongue was tangled with his. He pushed her against the wall and wantonly robbed her fragrance. The smell of tobo on his lips caused her to be in a daze, and it made her breathless. His battlefield switched to her e Chapter 345 - It’s Been A Few Years… Will it Hurt?

Chapter 345: Its Been A Few Years... Will it Hurt?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He nibbled her earlobe and tugged at it with some force. Tell me... All these years... how could you bear to let me wait alone bitterly... Now youve actually be Mrs. Guo!! Speaking of Mrs. Guo, Yuan Xuan bit her again. The pain made Mu Chenyan want to cry. Was Yuan Xuans Chinese zodiac a dog? No, he was a tiger to be exact! Yuan Xuan... You know that Im... Mrs. Guo... yet youre still acting this way! Mu Chenyan could not find a reason to reject him. She could only plead softly under his offense. Let me go... I cant stay by your side... The womans tone became coquettish as she whined. Her gaze was gentle like water, and her sobbing manner made her looked like a kitten. Her small hands sped his sleeves, and her bright and beautiful face caused the man to wish for nothing but to swallow her up. Mr Yuan felt a pain in his lower abdomen. The man in his 30s had been a full-time monk for four years, but now the beauty was in his arms. The passionate kisses were able to satisfy his upper part, but his bottom part was discontented... Protest! Protest! Protest... Mu Chenyan was too familiar with this look of Yuan Xuans, and those lingering nights shed continuously in her eyes! Chenyan... Chenyan... Yuan Xuan mumbled continuously. He picked her up all of a sudden and headed toward the elevator. The hall was on the third floor of the hotel and upstairs was the suite. Yuan Xuan carried Mu Chenyan and covered her head with hisrge jacket. The people in the elevator could not see who the woman in his arms was. At the door of the penthouse, Yuan Xuan called Shao Yibai on the phone, Request for me a penthouse suite! The moment Shao Yibai heard that, he eximed, Savage! I like it! When Mu Chenyan heard that however, she was scared to death. She clutched his shirt, pleading, Yuan Xuan... Are you out of your mind... What happens when the Guo Family finds out? Yuan Xuan sneered, Do you think I dont know? Youre not married to Guo Jingze at all! Even if the two of you were, the one he registered with was Yan Xiao! Im sleeping with Mu Chenyan, so what does it have anything to do with him? Mu Chenyan was lost for words. The logic of a brainiac was really out of this world... Shao Yibai moved quickly. Five minutester, the room service waiter approached Yuan Xuan with the room card. He gave the two a meaningful look and dared not say anything. The room was spacious. After closing the door, all the noises on the outside were cut off. Mu Chenyan was extremely nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat pounding. The mans nose was only one centimeter away from her. The smell of tobo made her frown. Not knowing how to escape, the woman whispered, Take... Take a shower first... He knew she was deliberately dying! Ive waited for four years, what more another few minutes? Ill wait for you! Yuan Xuan entered the bathroom after finishing his words. . While undressing, he warned, If you dare to escape, Ill do you to death when I catch you! Mu Chenyan paled. She cursed in her heart. Was she the only one who could witness this mans bandit leader persona? What happened to the so-called gentleman? Ten minutester, when the man came out, he was only using one towel to wipe his hair... Its your turn! Yuan Xuan reminded the dazed woman. What?! What happened to the towel that was supposed to be wrapped around the waist? Mu Chenyan saw its strutting manner, and her heart almost jumped to her throat. Her head was spinning and her legs were feeble. After dilly-dallying for almost half an hour, Mu Chenyan felt that she would be standing him up were she to continue washing herself. Mu Chenyan!! Yuan Xuans voice came through the door. From the shadow seen behind the frosted ss, Mu Chenyan knew that the man was getting impatient. She hurriedly wrapped a bath towel around herself while her hair was still dripping with water. Seeing that the woman had finally decided toe out, a trace of warmth shed through his gloomy eyes. Wearing a bathrobe, he pulled her over and sat her down by the bed. He then took the hairdryer to blow her hair. It was just like back then in Hibiscus Garden... The great shock in Mu Shenyans heart made her quiver involuntary, and her shoulders trembled. The sound of the hairdryer stopped, but the man did not take his fingers out of her hair. Little Chenyan... Yuan Xuan muttered. His gentle lips descended non-stop on the top of her head, coupled with some warm liquids... Mu Chenyan trembled intensely. She suddenly reached out to hug Yuan Xuans waist, crying till she was out of breath. She uttered, Ive never... slept with... Guo Jingze... Yuan Xuan was taken aback! Was she telling him that she had always belonged to him? Mu Chenyan did not know why she would make such a remark at this time. In any case, she had cried herself into a strip of a fool! Why was it a strip? This was because she had been stripped naked by Yuan Xuan... Youre indeed a fool! Yuan Xuan could not help but be surprised and delighted. An inexplicable warmth filled his heart, Youre mine. All of you is mine! Mu Chenyans eyes were red and swollen from crying. Yuan Xuan pecked at her tears bit by bit before finally stopping on her plump red lips. As she had just cried, her nose was still blocked. With her mouth now locked in a kiss, Mu Chenyan felt like she suffocating... This was not the most fatal thing. What was worse were those restless hands of his that were igniting fire all over... At the most critical moment, Yuan Xuan suddenly stopped and asked her softly, Its been a few years. Would you be not used to it? Will it hurt? When Mu Chenyan heard that, she was stupefied. She did not expect Yuan Xuan to ask such a question. Her face reddened, and her fair skin turned crimson in color. I... I dont know... Yuan Xuan frowned and experimented gently with his hand. Letting out a sigh of relief, the next second (could not be described. This was a harmonious society.. Something harmonious happened...) ... Sure enough, as Yuan Xuan had said, it had been a few years, so she was somewhat unused to it. Twice had he caused Mu Chenyan toy on the bed panting and exhausted. However, after the pleasure dissipated, a sense of guilt arose from the bottom of her heart. Guo Jingze was downstairs. She could not help but wonder how he would look for her. She had abandoned her current husband to make love with Yuan Xuan. The immoral condemnation suddenly pulled her back to her senses! Where are you going? Yuan Xuan saw she had got up from the bed, put on her dress, and was about to rush out. He stopped her abruptly. Are you sure you want to go out in this manner? Mu Chenyan looked at herself. The evening dress itself was rather exposed. Where the dress could not cover, the skin was marked with hickeys. She shook her head andmented, What am I to do? Guo Jingze... rify the matter with him! Im taking you away! Yuan Xuans tone was beyond discussion! The beams of golden light in his eyes caused Mu Chenyan to be dazed. Not waiting for her to speak, the man coldlymented, Youre indeed the daughter of my enemy, but youre not the one whomitted those killings! Ive lost my parents and my loved ones. Shouldnt youpensate me for all the suffering Ive been through all these years? Mu Chenyan was lost for words. Not only didnt you redeem yourself, but youve also taken my wife away from me, causing me to live alone in an empty house. How could you? Mu Chenyan was bereft of speech. If I were you, I wouldve yielded myself and stuck to my hubby every day, showing him great concern and warming the bed for him every night to wash away the sins of my father. How could I dare to escape? Are you stupid? Mu Chenyan was at a loss for words. Dont... Dont you hate me? Her mind was confused by Yuan Xuans out-of-this-world logic. Mu Chenyan felt that she was really an absolute fool as she asked stupidly. Chapter 346 - I Will Definitely Take Drastic Measures

Chapter 346: I Will Definitely Take Drastic Measures

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan chuckled. Yes, I hated you very much! Mu Chenyan, ... I kept you close to me like a ve and refused to let you leave my side because I hated you... Mu Chenyan was so touched that she broke down. It did not matter if she looked like an idiot now. After all, she had never considered herself an intelligent person... Yuan Xuan... For a really long time... I med myself... I became depressed and wanted to die... Whenever I thought of those people who died in Xi Fan that year... I felt that their miserable souls could never rest in peace... Mu Chenyan wrapped her arms around Yuan Xuans shoulders. Her entire body trembled as she cried. Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenwu would never let her have an easy conscience. That man was skilled in manipting other peoples minds. He had forced her to see something that gued her with inner demons. Little Chenyan, are you stupid? Those people died during the war. Did you kill any of them with your own hands? No! She was merely an embryo at that time... Nobody gets to choose their parents, Yuan Xuan consoled his wife. Mu Feng became infertile due to his injuries during the war. When Yan Mei became pregnant, he knew that the child was conceived when Yan Mei slept with Ze Da while she was drugged. His warped mental state made him insane. During the final wave of attacks, he rebelled without any hesitation. He coborated with the external forces from within and aimed his gun at hisrade... Little Chenyan, its over. None of the guilty parties managed to escape their punishment. Why must you keep tormenting me? Yuan Xuans gaze became deste when he said this. He truly seemed hurt. Mu Chenyan felt her chest tighten. She knew that he missed that child. The words nearly left her mouth, but she was too afraid to speak up. Yuan Xuan draped the clothes over Mu Chenyans shoulders. He insisted, I dont care about the things that happened between you and Guo Jingze, but your rtionship with him ends here. Ill give you three days to work this out. I wont do anything if you solve this problem on your own, but Ill definitely take drastic measures if you fail! Mu Chenyan immediately felt as though her heart had risen to her throat. * Guo Jingze was suddenly struck by a bad feeling when he failed to see Mu Chenyan in the hall. Shao Yibai had only stalled him for half an hour, but that was enough time for Yuan Xuan to whisk Mu Chenyan away. He was too afraid to disturb his mother. He repeatedly called Mu Chenyan until her cell phone turned itself off because it was dead. Guo Jingze viewed the surveince footage and discovered that Yuan Xuan had carried Mu Chenyan into his suite. Guo Jingze was not an idiot. He obviously knew what she had done when she disappeared for two hours. The enraged mans face became twisted as he had nowhere to vent his fury. He was forced to suppress his anger during an event like this. Wu Meiyun became slightly suspicious when she did not see Mu Chenyan once the banquet had ended. Guo Jingze frantically consoled his mother, saying, Xiao Xiao was feeling unwell so I told Liu Ming to send her to the hotel. Ill bring her back to the mansion tomorrow! Wu Meiyun had misgivings about this, but she decided to just see the guests to the door. Mu Chenyan charged her phone once she returned to the hotel. Her heart suddenly jerked when she saw that she had over a hundred missed calls and new messages. She was about to return the calls when she heard a knock at the door. She looked through the peephole and saw that Guo Jingze was outside. The man looked like he was in a bad mood. Mu Chenyan could tell that he already had several drinks. Mu Chenyan was always very vignt. She knew that it would be very dangerous to be in a closed space with a furious man in this situation. She left the door chain fastened as she quietly consoled him, saying, Jingze, I know that you want to talk to me. Can youe back tomorrow instead? I want to talk to you tonight! The intimidating look that filled Guo Jingzes face was very unlike his usual self. Mu Chenyan was fully aware that Guo Jingze would not leave until they settled thispletely. Alright, you can wait for me at the coffee shop downstairs. Ill be there once Ive changed. Guo Jingze suppressed his rage and gruffly replied, Fine! ... Mu Chenyan changed into some rxing casual wear and tied her hair into a ponytail. She entered the coffee shop and saw Guo Jingze sitting in the corner with a dejected look on his face. For a moment, he had seemingly aged significantly. He also looked like this when she first saw him three years ago. Mu Chenyan sat on the opposite side of Guo Jingze. Although they had referred to each other as husband and wife for three years, it was rare for them to have serious conversations like this. Chenyan, are you nning on leaving me? Guo Jingze and Mu Chenyan looked directly at each other for several minutes before the man suddenly broke the silence. The womans face was flushed while love bites could be faintly seen below her cor. This filled the man with a jealous rage. He desperately wanted to rush over and grab his wifes neck so that he could cover those marks with his own... Mu Chenyan lowered her head. She murmured, Jingze, you know that I love him... What am I then? Was I just a pawn that you used? Was I nothing but a stupid cuckold? Guo Jingzes face turned hideous when he contorted his features. The unrestrained volume of his voice caused the people around them to be momentarily curious. They shifted their gazes toward him. Mu Chenyan felt extremely embarrassed. She red at Guo Jingze before she calmly said, Jingze, if Im not mistaken, youre in love with a graduate student named Wei Guo. Hes the most important person to you. Our rtionship was merely an agreement! Chapter 347 - A Broken Heart

Chapter 347: A Broken Heart

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Guo Jingzes hands trembled uncontrobly when Mu Chenyan finished speaking. When Guo Jingze raised his head, Mu Chenyan noticed an indescribable pain in his bloodshot eyes. He messed up his matted hair as his mental state became more irritated and enraged. He was usually a gentle and well-mannered man. However, Mu Chenyan believed that this side of Guo Jingze represented his true self. She saw Guo Jingze for the first time at the entrance of a bar in City A three years ago. He looked simrly dejected as he stumbled around while carrying a bottle of alcohol. His voice was hoarse while his gaze seemed misted over. If other people did not look carefully at the expensive clothes that covered him from head to toe, they would assume that he was merely a downtrodden drunkard. At that time, Mu Chenyan was exhausted from walking. She felt as though her body might copse at any time because she was pregnant. She stood at the entrance of the bar. Although the environment there was unsuitable for her, she had no choice but to sit on one of the two public chairs that were several meters away from Guo Jingze so that she could rest. When he saw her, Guo Jingze suddenly staggered over and sat on the opposite side of her. He stared at Mu Chenyan with his beautiful glistening eyes. He gently murmured, Miss, do you know what the most painful thing in the world is? Mu Chenyan turned away and ignored the drunkard when she saw him. She would leave once her legs were well rested. Guo Jingze noticed the calm expression on her face. He leisurely continued, I have money... I have status... My parents love me very much. Take a guess. Why am I in such pain? Mu Chenyan faintly smiled when she heard this. She gently said, You have a broken heart. Guo Jingze instantly sobered up when he heard those words. He lifted his head from the table and attentively gazed at Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, he broke out into a tearfulugh. He repeated the phrase, saying, Yes, a broken heart... Im broken-hearted... For some reason, Mu Chenyan was not disgusted by the man before her. On the contrary, she felt very sympathetic toward him. Where do you live? Should I call you a cab and get you home? Guo Jingze leaned on the table and wept like a child. Mu Chenyan was filled withpassion when she saw him like that. She could not personally send him home, but she could call him a cab at least. Guo Jingze kept crying. He took his cell phone out of his pocket and showed Mu Chenyan a picture. His swollen red eyes did not hinder his attractiveness. The handsome and dashing man sounded rather angry and dejected now. He mumbled, This person was my lover, but our love was destined to be rejected by the world... Mu Chenyan nced at the image and silently nodded. It was a picture of a sturdy young man with a nice smile and smooth white skin. They called me a monster... It was impossible for me to remain in my original circle... They would look down on me... Guo Jingze sobbed as he spoke. He took his phone back and muttered, Wei Guo, I thought we promised to carry this burden together... Mu Chenyan realized that the man before her had probably suffered a break-up. She was reluctant to engage in a conversation with a drunk person. She got up and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Guo Jingze rose as well and gently tugged at Mu Chenyanspel. Mu Chenyan took several steps backward in fear. She sternly rebuked him, saying, What the hell are you doing? She instinctively rubbed her lower abdomen that had recently started protruding. Only then did Guo Jingze realize that she was pregnant. He sensed that his actions were extremely rude. This young man actually had a good upbringing. Suddenly, he was gued by uneasiness. Im sorry! I had no bad intentions... I... The panicked look in his eyes truly made him resemble a guilty child. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and murmured, I just wanted to talk to someone... Mu Chenyan let her guard down slightly because she already knew that he was gay. However, she was still too afraid to get close to a drunkard. After all, a drunk person could act out at any moment. Guo Jingze probably realized this. He pointed at a nearby coffee shop and quietly said, This ce is too cold to sit down for long periods of time. That ce is warmer and there are more people too... Ill show you my identification card. Im not a bad person... Guo Jingze actually took his wallet out when he said this. Mu Chenyan took his identification card out. She looked at the picture on the card and the man before her. She gradually felt relieved when she confirmed that he was not lying. She was also in a downtrodden state currently. She had not spoken to anyone these past few days as she roamed about. The pair entered the coffee shop. One of them walked in front while the other trailed behind. Guo Jingze ordered a ss of freshly squeezed fruit juice for Mu Chenyan. He even reminded the server to heat it up for her. Meanwhile, he ordered a cup of coffee for himself. Mu Chenyan was a good listener. As Guo Jingze rambled on about his experiences, Mu Chenyan discovered that he had grown up in Capital Citys militarypound. In other words, he had led a privileged life. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was also an only child who was deeply loved by his parents. He could have joined the military and trained there for several years if he desired. As he was highly educated, a high position with a handsome sry was already in store for him. However, this was his exact problem. His parents wanted him to join the military, but he took pleasure in a free and unrestrained life. He ended up arguing with his parents. When this happened, he met a man called Wei Guo. These two men met each other through an online game before they took their friendship to the real world. Guo Jingze was surprised when he discovered that he liked men. Wei Guo was a student at that time. Guo Jingze funded Wei Guos education ever since they established that they were in a romantic rtionship. Unfortunately, this news quickly reached his parents because they had numerous connections in Capital City. They were severely against this because he was their only son. Rumors began spreading quickly throughout Capital City as well. These incidents were not rare, but there were only a few cases where they openly acknowledged it. The Guo Family would also risk universal condemnation because of their status and influence. Unable to stand the pressure, Guo Jingze left Capital City and came to City A instead. Mu Chenyan pitied Guo Jingze because she had nowhere to go either. Her sympathy turned into trust and she decided to share some of her problems with Guo Jingze as well. Unlike Guo Jingze, Mu Chenyan did not hold any grudges. She med herself for everything and wanted to repent. A broken heart was one of the most painful experiences in life, but this woman seemed rather indifferent to it. Her heart was not crushed by these miserable feelings and she refused to be dispirited about her uncertain future. She told Guo Jingze about her depression. However, she would actively seek treatment for the sake of her baby... Guo Jingze was in awe of this chilly but beautiful woman before him. Can I have your number? Guo Jingze cautiously asked before he left. Mu Chenyan was merely wandering around City A alone without anyone to depend on. Moreover, Guo Jingze did not look like a bad person. Mu Chenyan gave him her phone number. When Guo Jingze found Mu Chenyan at her rented house three dayster, he suggested, Could we make an agreement to get married? ... She did not have to sneak around and hide herself anymore as Guo Jingze gave her a new identity. He also hired the best psychiatrist for her. Since her depression was considered mild, the treatment and the security of her new life allowed her mental health to improve rapidly. Guo Jingze contacted a college for her so that she could continue studying. Mu Chenyans decision to study ichnology stemmed from her days working in the major crimes department. Throughout their marriage, Mu Chenyan obviously knew the reason for the Guo Familys generosity and indulgent treatment of her. Naturally, a prestigious family like this would only want the cream of the crop and they would carefully select a daughter-inw. Wu Meiyun only agreed to ept someone like her into their family because she knew about Guo Jingzes circumstances. She had nothing when she met Guo Jingze, except for the baby in her belly... Due to Guo Jingzes state at the time, he was worried that he would never bring home another woman for the rest of his life. He told his mother that he fathered Mu Chenyans baby. The shrewd Wu Meiyun was forced to turn a blind eye to this and ept her daughter-inw. The previous rumors in Capital City eventually disappeared when everyone in thepound discovered that Guo Jingze got married after an unnned pregnancy. Chapter 348 - The Imposing Man Swooped Down Furiously

Chapter 348: The Imposing Man Swooped Down Furiously

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This scene resembled the one that happened three years ago. The same pair was looking face to face at each other in the exact same coffee shop. Just like before, one of them was drunk, dispirited, and depressed. Meanwhile, the other person was calm andpletely unconcerned about worldly issues. Chenyan, are you nning to... Are you nning to leave me? The throbbing pain at the bottom of Guo Jingzes heart made his voice tremble. Jingze, this was merely an agreement. You used me as an excuse to pacify your parents and friends while I used you to give my child a father in name. There was never any love between us. You agreed from the start that we could end this rtionship at any time... But what if I told you that... Ive fallen in love with you... Guo Jingze buried his head deep in his palms. This made his hair messier. Mu Chenyan was stunned. A strange look faintly shed in her beautiful eyes. Her little mouth gaped open slightly, as though she had yet toprehend Guo Jingzes words. You... Arent you... Mu Chenyan thought, Arent you gay? The words almost left her mouth, but she could not bring herself to continue. I severed my ties with Wei Guo after I married you! Guo Jingze ironically smiled. In the past, I assumed that I wasnt attracted to women. Later, I discovered that I was attracted to them. Id just never met a woman that I liked before this! He lifted his head and gazed directly at Mu Chenyan when he said this. He was not trying to hide it at all. Mu Chenyan awkwardly shrunk back and moved her body away. She avoided Guo Jingzes eyes. Im still financing Wei Guos education, but we dont have that kind of rtionship anymore. When I was with you, I always tried my best to be a good husband and father... But I cant ept this... Ive never had any feelings for you! Mu Chenyan could not ept the change in the situation. She stared nkly at Guo Jingze. Guo Jingze hung his head and took a deep breath. His eyes were bloodshot when he raised his head a momentter, while a sneer faintly appeared in the upturned corners of his lips. Are you going to return to Yuan Xuan? What about your son? Are you nning to take him with you too? You know that that child... Hes my son! Guo Jingze sounded rather angry when he roared. Mu Chenyans entire body trembled in fear. Thats nonsense! Their voices caused the people around them to look over in shock. Mu Chenyan bit her lip. Suddenly, she understood what was going on. Guo Jingze, what did you do to my son? Mu Chenyan, are you still going to leave me if your son doesnt go with you? Guo Jingze muttered, Im not going to let you find your son. Do you still want to leave? No! Mu Chenyan leaped up from her seat when she heard that. She rushed toward Guo Jingze and violently grabbed his cor. In a sobbing tone, she shrieked, What did you do to Little Yu? Give me back my son! When you came here, I told my subordinates in City A to take Little Yu away! Im going to hide him so that youll never find him. Are you still going to leave if that happens? Guo Jingzes gaze looked slightly mad. He was persistent and assured. Mu Chenyan was so afraid that she nearly fainted. However, she desperately hit Guo Jingze instead. She was not concerned about manners or staying calm anymore. Youre a madman. Give me back my son... Mu Chenyan sobbed and struck him until she waspletely exhausted. She exchanged her life for her child. When she thought of this, it felt as though someone was twisting a knife that was stabbed in her heart. Nheless, she did not give up. She continued to fight with Guo Jingze desperately. The man watched as she struggled madly. Her hair was messy while the cor of her shirt had pulled itself open as she tossed about. Guo Jingzeughed wildly before he held Mu Chenyan tightly. In a strange voice, he said, Yuan Xuan slept with you, right? Mu Chenyan heavily panted. When she heard him mentioning Yuan Xuan, she could not help but bitterlyugh. Yes! Anger stirred in Guo Jingzes heart when he noticed that she was not hiding this. He cupped Mu Chenyans little face with his hands and caressed it. He mumbled, We were married for three years, but I wasnt even allowed to touch your hands. However, you got into bed with him after meeting him for just a few hours! Who do you think I am? Guo Jingze, Id be thankful toward you if you didnt treat me like this today. Id even treat you like my older brother. But if youve kidnapped my son, Ill despise you until the day I die... Mu Chenyan started to cry when she said that. Tears streamed down her face quickly. Guo Jingze suddenly panicked when he noticed that her eyes were filled with hatred. He tried to wipe them with his hands but they kept flowing. Dont cry. Please dont cry. Chenyan, please stop crying! Guo Jingze murmured as he wiped her tears. Mu Chenyan was so furious that she pped him. Give me Little Yu back... Guo Jingze stroked the side of his face that she struck. He coldly red at Mu Chenyan when he noticed that the people around them were pointing their fingers at him. A ghastly smile appeared on his face. Ill give him back to you if you spend the night with me. Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan swung her arm back and pped his other cheek. In your dreams! When both sides of his face were pped, the handsome man instantly felt as though he had turned into one of the big-headed mascots in the Spring Festival pictures... Guo Jingze wiped off a trace of blood that appeared at the corner of his mouth. He smiled before he suddenly picked Mu Chenyan up. Ill show you that Im not dreaming! Mu Chenyan had been exhausted after all that struggling. She felt angry and anxious when Guo Jingze carried her on his shoulder now. Her entire body ached. She tearfully screamed, Help! Call the police... Most of the onlookers were too afraid to step forward because they were unaware of the actual situation. Fortunately, some of them took their phones out as they nned to call the police. Were husband and wife. What are you going to say to the police? Guo Jingze walked away as he exined. He ignored Mu Chenyans objections. Everyone was too frightened to act rashly when they heard that they were married. They realized that this man came from an influential background when they saw the clothes that he wore. They simply used their phones to take pictures of him instead... Guo Jingze carried Mu Chenyan to her room. Professor Shen had already returned to City A afterpleting his academic report. Mu Chenyan was the only other person who hade with him. Previously, Guo Jingze had been to this hotel as well. The staff saw him carrying a woman back, but they were too afraid to stop him because he had a key card. Mu Chenyan suffered a throbbing headache while she was being carried. Her limbs felt exhausted. She hit him several times before she almost copsed. The man took long strides and entered the room. When the door made a clicking noise as it was shut, Mu Chenyan became wide awake from fear. Guo Jingze threw her on the bed in a second. Her teeth bit her tongue and she nearly cried from the pain. The metallic taste from the blood in her mouth made her want to gag. The most disgusting part was that Guo Jingze had already removed his jacket. His eyes were bloodshot as he undid his tie. Mu Chenyan flipped herself over and got off the bed when she realized that something terrible was about to happen. She only managed to run two steps away before the man grabbed her by her hair and flung her on the bed again. Mu Chenyan heard a ringing noise in her ears while her head throbbed. However, the crazy man had already lost his mind. He pounced on her and tied her hands together with the tie that he removed. Save... Save me... Mu Chenyan staggered screams were muffled by the mans lips... Hisrge hands frenziedly ripped off her clothes. Her exposed skin was still marred by Yuan Xuans love bites from several hours ago. Guo Jingzes rage grew more intense when he saw them. He lowered his head and buried it in her chest. His lips were increasingly forceful. He used his own marks to cover the ones that Yuan Xuan left. Mu Chenyan retched as her stomach churned continuously. Her hands were bound together while her body started to curl up like a little shrimp. Yuan Xuan... Save me... The twitching pain in Mu Chenyans stomach became more intense. She cried out for Yuan Xuan in her confused state. A loud noise that sounded like someone was kicking the door echoed from the entrance to the room at this moment. A staff members quivering voice could be heard as he pacified someone, saying, Sir, please calm down. Ill open the door for you now... Thest thing that Mu Chenyan saw before she cked out was the imposing mans figure as he swooped down furiously... Dont be afraid, Little Chenyan. Im here! Chapter 349 - Thank You, Little Chenyan

Chapter 349: Thank You, Little Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was still a trace of blood on the corner of Mu Chenyans lips when she fainted. Yuan Xuan sighed at her pitiful appearance. The mans gaze was extremely ferocious when he raised his head. Guo Jingze was next to him, but he fell when Yuan Xuan punched him. Damn, I cant believe he beat me up when I hardly touched that woman. Guo Jingzes teeth and cheeks bled after he was struck. He had already despised Yuan Xuan before this. When Yuan Xuan rushed over and ruined his fun, he abandoned the mutual respect between aristocratic families and his well-mannered upbringing. He jumped up and wrestled with Yuan Xuan. The two men were both tall and well built. They had undergonebat training as well. The area seemed extremely narrow as they fought with each other. The staff member was so afraid that he hid in the corner. He waspletely dumbfounded. Both of them looked like influential people, but they acted exactly likemoners when they fought... Shao Yibai suddenly stormed in. He saw that Yuan Xuan and Guo Jingze were locked in a fierce struggle. The two mens faces were covered in wounds of varying degrees. The man who was part of the special forces cursed, F*ck, who should I help? One of them was his cousin, while the other was his ymate whom he had shared everything with as they grew up... Shao Yibai stared nkly before he noticed that Mu Chenyan was lying on the bed in a sorry state. He instantly understood the situation. He yelled, Damn, he fought for this femme fatale in the past and hes doing it all over again now! Yuan Xuan took a step back. He turned to Shao Yibai and yelled, Take Mu Chenyan away! Shao Yibai did not know whether Mu Chenyan was hurt, but he decided to help her first and find outter. Guo Jingze was not as strong as Yuan Xuan. His angry punches were also rather sloppy as he had ingested alcohol. After some time, the two men tumbled onto the floor together. Yuan Xuan straddled Guo Jingze and raised his fist. He was about to punch him before Shao Yibai yelled from the sidelines, saying, Dont kill him. You should thank him for saving Little Chenyan. Yuan Xuan seethed with anger. He could barely suppress it. He quickly turned to Guo Jingze and cursed, Ill make you pay for thister! Guo Jingze might have been Mu Chenyans savior, but he was definitely Yuan Xuans enemy. If Guo Jingze had not helped Mu Chenyan, Yuan Xuan would not have taken so many years to find her! * The woman was fast asleep, but the airy and faraway noises in her surroundings made her furrow her brow. Mu Chenyan twitched when a sharp pain pricked her right arm. She opened her eyes with much difficulty before they adjusted themselves to the light. Only then could she clearly see the face of an unfamiliar woman. Miss, please dont move. Ive put you on a drip because youve exhausted yourself. Your blood sugar level and blood pressure are very low... The young nurse held Mu Chenyans arm. Once the tourniquet was removed, the nurse inserted the needle into her arm. Mu Chenyan moved her lips. She tried to talk, but she realized that her voice waspletely gone. Her breathing became more strained when she panicked from being unable to speak. Little Chenyan, are you thirsty? The mans voice was deep and husky. It had aforting effect. Mu Chenyan blinked. When she realized that it was Yuan Xuan, she became so anxious that she cried. Yuan Xuan... My son... Dont worry, Ive already sent someone to get him! Yuan Xuan held Mu Chenyan with hisrge hands and gently caressed her. His hands were warm but dry. The mans gentle kisses could not conceal his smile. Thank you, Little Chenyan! Mu Chenyan was momentarily unable to understand what Yuan Xuan meant. Yuan Xuan sighed when he saw the dumbfounded look on her face. The handsome man seemed like he had significantly aged overnight. However, the silly smile on his face made him resemble a husky. When I saw you at the Guo Familys banquet, I immediately remembered the marriage in the Guo Family that was due to an unnned pregnancy. I made a phone call and sent Kang Yu, Yan Jun, and Tian Qi to investigate the situation in City A while you were in the bathroom. I never expected that Guo Jingzes men would already be there moments after they reached your house in City A. They wanted to take your son away, but Tian Qi had no problem fending off five people on his own! Yuan Xuan merely touched on this issue lightly, but Mu Chenyan could already imagine the terrifying scene. Your son is still in City A now. Weve already lodged a police report there. Nobody can harm him now. Hes just waiting for you to return! Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan was so touched that she cried. Her entire body trembled uncontrobly. Yuan Xuan gave her some tissue paper to wipe her tears before he gently caressed her face. His tone was affectionately reproachful. He said, Little Chenyan, youve been a naughty girl. I cant believe that you lied to me for so many years! But I must thank you for keeping this child... Mu Chenyan wept but failed to speak as she held onto Yuan Xuan tightly. Yan Muyu is my son, right? Yuan Xuans palms became warmer. His eyes glimmered as he kissed Mu Chenyans little hands. The loneliness that he previously felt had seemingly disappeared. It was reced by a happy smile instead. Mu Chenyan faintly nodded to acknowledge that she agreed with him. Yuan Xuan became more emotional. He ced Mu Chenyans little hands against his lips and gently kissed them repeatedly. Little Chenyan, Im sorry. Mu Chenyan was stunned again. She saw that this powerful, unreasonable, and gloomy man was currently misty-eyed. Strangely enough, he also seemed to be choked with sobs. She frantically stroked his forehead with her hands. The man did not bother to hide his sentimental side. He held Mu Chenyans hands in his own palms again. He murmured, They said that women suffer the most when they were pregnant, but I wasnt there to apany you. I couldnt even do anything for you when you were depressed! Giving birth to that child was the most dangerous moment of your life, but I couldnt keep watch over you at the doorway or your hospital ward. I never boiled any nutritious soup for you during your confinement period. I never carried the baby when he wailed day and night. I wasnt there to hear him say daddy for the first time... His words touched Mu Chenyan. Tears silently rolled down the corners of her eyes as she choked back sobs. She murmured, It was... My fault that... You couldnt watch him grow up... Yuan Xuan cut Mu Chenyan off, but his gentle and watery eyes were filled with affection. It wasnt your fault. I me myself for hiding everything from you in the past. If I wasnt so selfish, you would neither have suffered such a huge blow, nor would you be burdened with such a heavy weight all of a sudden... After a long pause, the man suddenly realized something. He said, Little Chenyan, I know that theres half a year left before your graduation, so I wont return to Luo Hai during this time. Ill stay here and apany you instead. You can go to ss in the morning ande home to warm your husbands bed at night. Obviously, Ill repay you for that. Ill cook for you at home and y with our son every day. You can see your husband and child when youe home after ss. I wasnt there during his first three years, but Ill work hard and make it up to him during this time! Mu Chenyan became excited when she heard Yuan Xuans ns. She was not an emotionless object. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had argued and alternated between loving and hating each other for many years. When she thought of this, she unconsciously began to anticipate their future. A thought suddenly shed in Mu Chenyans mind. She tugged at Yuan Xuan sleeve and quietly asked, Could you... Promise me that you wont trouble Guo Jingze... Chapter 350 - The Son Was Avenging His Mother This Time

Chapter 350: The Son Was Avenging His Mother This Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans expression darkened. He was not an inherently kind man. He would not hurt others unless they hurt him, and he would not hesitate to punish them if they offended him. He listened as Mu Chenyan begged for mercy for her aplice who had separated her and Yuan Xuan for several years. Worse still, he had nearly raped her as well. The mans face grew grimmer when he thought of this. Guo Jingze did not show Yuan Xuan any mercy when they fought with each other. Yuan Xuan felt terribly unhappy when he realized that he had to let him off. A gloomy look shed in the depths of the handsome mans eyes. He seductively pursed his lips before he quietly asked, Why are you always so stupid? Mu Chenyan knew that the malicious intent in Yuan Xuans heart would only disappear after much difficulty. She sighed. Her beautiful little face had turned pale because her body was too weak. She had a delicate type of beauty now. Guo Jingze is not a bad person by nature. He simply became mean because he was pampered ever since he was a child. Hes never suffered a day in his life. People can be quite extreme at times. Nheless, he treated me and my son very well when I was with him for several years. He never mistreated me. Mu Chenyan was being honest. Guo Jingze nearly vited her, and she held a grudge against him for that, but this did not cancel out the previous acts of kindness that he had shown her. She was not a hateful person. On the contrary, she could distinguish between feelings of gratitude and resentment. He helped you conceal your real identity. In other words, he did this despite knowing that you were my wife. He was clearly hiding his selfish desires for you all along! Yuan Xuan was secretly furious at this situation. He had searched through more than half of Country Z. Guo Jingze made Yuan Xuans journey to find his wife more difficult than it should have been. It was my fault so you shouldnt me anyone else! said Mu Chenyan guiltily. She went into hiding during these years because she knew that Yuan Xuan was looking for her. Once, her ssmate who was also a graduate student looked her up and down whileparing her to a picture on their phone. The student smiled and said, Yan Xiao, why do I think that you look particrly simr to the Young Mistress of the Yuan Family in Luo Hai? Mu Chenyan was so frightened that she refused to appear before that student for several days. Yuan Xuan gently sighed. His heart was unconsciously filled with uneasiness when he saw the embarrassed look on his wifes face. Now that I think about it, this was actually my fault. Little Chenyan, I wont let you leave me ever again! * Shao Yibai pacified Guo Jingze for some time. When they were younger, Shao Yibai had hit Guo Jingze numerous times while they were ying because he was a mischievous child. Now that they were older, Shao Yibai felt slightly sorry for Guo Jingze as he watched him getting beat up by his cousin. Guo Jingze realized that Mu Chenyan would probably leave him after today. The man felt a heavy sense of loss as he had suffered a broken heart twice. Big Bai, do you think that Mu Chenyan would still be in love with Yuan Xuan if I had met her a few years earlier? Guo Jingze had yet to ept the situationpletely. He was used to getting his way ever since he was a child. He always got what he wanted without fail. Wei Guo had even prostrated himself before his feet. However, Mu Chenyan had seemingly kept herself at a perfect distance from him for the past three years. Yuan Xuan was the root of this. As Mu Chenyan only had eyes for that man, every other male on earth was meaningless to her. Shao Yibai could not hide his smile when he heard this. It looked like Mu Chenyan never exined to Guo Jingze that she and Yuan Xuan were caught between their love and hatred for each other. Jingze, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuans rtionship is not merely a two-year affair. If you could go back in time and meet Mu Chenyan earlier, youd have to time travel to her elementary school days. Moreover, Mu Chenyan was in Xi Fan at that time. Guo Jingze was shocked. He was unaware that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had known each other for such a long time. It was not surprising that he lost to Yuan Xuan when those two were childhood sweethearts. Guo Jingze suddenly shut his eyes. He murmured, Please help me apologize to Mu Chenyan for my behaviorst night... Shao Yibai patted his shoulder andforted him, saying, Dont feel bad about it. It wouldnt be a bad idea for you to return to your original n of pursuing men instead. Ive heard that that man is still dead set on you. No one is going tough at you. Guo Jingze bitterlyughed after pondering for a moment. Its true that Wei Guo is still waiting for me... * Mu Chenyan returned to university once she and Guo Jingze signed their divorce settlement. She still had half a year toplete her dissertation. Yuan Xuan could not stop himself from secretly feeling emotional when he discovered that Mu Chenyan was studying ichnology. She could work for the forensic department in the future after she graduated. Yuan Xuan realized that his wife was advancing on the path of criminal investigation. He kept his previous promise by handing his business in Luo Hai over to Kang Yu and the deputy CEO to manage. In the meantime, he moved to City A and became a househusband. The handsome man rolled up his sleeves every day and traveled between the market and the kitchen. Mu Chenyan had nothing but endless praise for every dish he cooked. Mr Yuan, you really wasted your time being a CEO when you couldve been a master chef instead! When he heard his young wifespliments, Mr. Yuan exhausted himself and dominated the kitchen in the daytime while he ruthlessly dominated his young wife at night. Their bed rocked with intense force. Mu Chenyan trembled every time she saw the sinister smile on Yuan Xuans face when he came out of the shower. There was no such thing as a free lunch as she was clearly forced to repay him at night. Are you going to give me a little princess soon? Yuan Xuans sweat rained down on Mu Chenyans body as he imagined a future where he had both a son and a daughter. Mu Chenyan groaned endlessly. It was amon saying that women in their thirties were like wolves in the pack that liked being dominated by alpha males. Nheless, she could never keep up with Yuan Xuans pace despite being five years younger than him. She wed and bit Yuan Xuans body as he ruthlessly tormented her, but her actions made him more excited. He would always test her limits until she tearfully begged for mercy. Without fail, he would only stop after they did this two or three times consecutively. One day, Mu Chenyan found a note with Yuan Xuans handwriting in the drawer that read, My dear wife went away for three years and ten months. We should do it three times a week to make up for it, excluding the days when shes either on her period or pregnant. That should be equivalent to XXXX times. Weve already done it XX times as of now... F*ck! Hecked the Three Worldviews! Only now did Mu Chenyan understand that her husband was calcting how many times she owed him sex. It was not surprising that he needed two or three rounds during each session... He was truly an unscrupulous businessman! In the outside world, this cold and arrogant man was rumored to be a ruthless and resolute individual. Nheless, Mu Chenyans heart was filled with warmth when she recalled how he buried himself in her supple bosom. Their days went by considerably smoothly. The only problem was that Yan Muyu was rather cold toward his biological father who appeared out of nowhere. This child was very clever despite only being three years old. He was terribly reserved toward strangers. This made him and Yuan Xuan very simr. Yuan Xuan had taken many years to warm up to Mu Chenyan when she was pursuing him in the beginning. He continued to give her the cold shoulder despite falling in love with her first... The son was avenging his mother this time! Their daily conversations were like this: Little Yu... Mr Yuan, dont call me that! Were not that close. Little Yan Muyu, can you please finish your food? Mr Yuan was surprisingly patient with his son. Mr Yuan, can you please improve your cooking? Mr Yuans expression darkened when he realized that he was disliked... Little Yan Muyu, can you please call me dad? Mr Yuan, haha! A coldly arrogant look appeared on Yan Muyus face... Yuan Xuan fumed with anger. Kids are so mischievous these days! However, this brats personality is really simr to mine. I was also like this when I was younger... Mu Chenyan doubled over withughter. There were many children in the Yuan Family Mansion who grew up together. She wondered why Shu Qinger was Yuan Xuans only ymate when he was a child. Yan Muyu privately told his mother his true feelings. Although I still miss my old father, my new father isnt that bad... Little children were like that. It was just difficult for him to ept the changes in the world of the adults for now. Mu Chenyan graduated in June. She took her certificate and said goodbye to Professor Shen. Mu Chenyan felt rather reluctant to leave. She was thankful for the three years that she spent studying at the University of A. She sent a text message to Guo Jingze to bid him farewell before she left City A, but the man never responded. When Yuan Xuan left with Mu Chenyan and Yan Muyu on their flight, Guo Jingze hid in a corner of the airport and watched Mu Chenyan leave... Chapter 351 - Dad, Something Is Wrong

Chapter 351: Dad, Something Is Wrong

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans original group of friends were stunned when they heard that she had returned to Luo Hai with her family. Yuan Tian had migrated overseas with Shen Muqiu, but Yuan Xuan still contacted her the immediately. Unfortunately, Yuan Tian was forced to grumble at Mu Chenyan through a video call because she could not return due to Shen Muqius unique status. I cant believe that you left for several years. You broke up with my brother, not me. Why didnt you secretly contact me? I missed you so much! Yuan Tians bulging belly could be seen through the screen, but she still resembled a pampered young girl. Mu Chenyan had no idea how Shen Muqiu and Yuan Tian had previously gotten together. She could not figure out how Shen Muqiu managed to steal Yuan Xuans precious little sister from him either. Nheless, she was in awe of Shen Muqius progress. Judging from her appearance, Yuan Tian was probably six or seven months pregnant. I missed you too, but you knew that I didnt want Yuan Xuan to find me... Mu Chenyans heart was filled with sorrow when she remembered that period of time. She was forced to spend several years away from Yuan Xuan again. She felt nothing but regret when she realized her mistakes. She was truly an idiot. Yuan Tianined like a spoiled child while stuffing herself with food. This baby has a bigger appetite than the previous one. My waist is so much bigger now! Mu Chenyan spat out her tea onto the floor. The previous one? Yuan Tian chuckled. Yes, my first child is already two years old. Shes a girl... When she said that, she panned the camera toward the nannysp. Mu Chenyan turned green with envy when she saw the fair-skinned little girl. Mu Chenyan felt deeply ashamed now. She had been with Yuan Xuan for more than a decade, but Yan Muyu was their only child. On the contrary, that other girl had progressed rather quickly. She was about to be a mother for the second time very soon. Shen Muqiu gave up his previous job when he left with Yuan Tian. He wiped every trace of thepanies that he owned and gave himself a new identity. He merelymanded them from the background because he was fully dedicated to his wife and daughter now. Now that Yuan Tian was pregnant again, the man had be prouder. His face was sterner when he apanied his wife, but he was more handsome than before. Yuan Xuan also looked at the screen and noticed that Yuan Tians young daughter was incredibly adorable. As her parents were both attractive, the child would definitely be good-looking as well. Yuan Tian was beaming. Meanwhile, Shen Muqiu was different now. Whenever he spoke, he would start his sentences with the words my daughter... Yuan Xuans dream of having a little princess started appearing in his mind again. Damn, this was encouraging him! He wanted a daughter as well. Mu Chenyan was forced to endure strenuous activities in bed again as this man began his quest. Yuan Xuan was not worried about suffering from renal deficiency. As long as Mu Chenyan was not on her period, Yuan Xuan wanted nothing more than to ravish his wife every day... Wu Ze was also stunned when he heard that Mu Chenyan had returned. The young man realized that it was impossible for Mu Chenyan to escape Yuan Xuans grasp despite running around in circles. Nheless, he was happy for the couple. Wu Ze was the first person who witnessed the couples rtionship start off as a miserable affair before it finished with a happy ending. Ill treat you and Yuan Xuan to a meal one of these days. We should really meet up! Wu Ze promised. Yuan Xuan smiled but kept mum when he heard this. Mu Chenyan did not know that Yuan Xuan was hiding something behind this meaningful smile. Yuan Xuan had introduced Yan Pianran to Wu Ze and that young man was absolutely smitten with her now. He was busily pursuing her recently... Mu Chenyan was relieved when the arrangements were made to enroll Yan Muyu in the best private preschool in Luo Hai. She sent her resume to Luo Hais criminal investigation unit upon realizing that she should do something as well. She was not specifically trained for this job as it was in apletely different sector. Nheless, she had studied under Professor Shen who was considered a famous individual in the local criminal investigation field. The forensic department enthusiastically epted job applications as there were only a few people in Luo Hais public security system who had such a background. Several branches had even gotten into heated arguments when theypeted with each other for candidates. In the end, Mu Chenyan decided to join a sector of the forensic department that was directly connected to the three major crimes departments. Mu Chenyan kept a low profile like before when she went to report for duty. She wore simple casual clothes and tied her hair in a ponytail to look fresh and natural. The major crimes department was still the same. The staff worked systematically under Wu Huais leadership. Nheless, they were rather excited when Mu Chenyan arrived. They gathered around her and chatted enthusiastically. The atmosphere affected Mu Chenyan and put her in a good mood. Everything looked the same, but the one difference was that Su Qingcheng was no longer in Luo Hai. Frankly, this was not surprising. How could she remain in Luo Hai when Shao Yibai refused to rest until she married him? Mu Chenyan was almost as skilled at her new job as before. She had a legitimate reason to help solve cases as she was actually employed by the forensic department now. However, there was a difference between forensics and criminal investigation. Mu Chenyan mainly participated by providing some evidence and directing the inferences to help solve these cases. The weather cooled down three months after they returned to Luo Hai. Suddenly, Yuan Xuan brought up their wedding ns again. Now that you have a steady job, do you also think that we should have our wedding in spring next year? Yuan Xuan asked Mu Chenyan as he watched Yan Muyu eat his breakfast. Big Xuanzi, whats a wedding? Little Yan Muyus big watery eyes blinked as he asked. Muyu, how many times have I told you not to call your father Big Xuanzi? Mu Chenyans son truly left her speechless. She red at Yuan Xuan and quietly rebuked him, saying, You should discipline him too. Youre too lenient. See what hes be? A gleeful expression appeared on the dashing Big Xuanzis face. He ruffled his sons hair with hisrge hands. It doesnt matter what he calls me because its just a form of address. He can call me Big Xuanzi because it doesnt change the fact that hes my son! Thats right! Youve always said that I resemble Big Xuanzi very much when he was a child. Hes still my father even if I dont call him that! Yan Muyus new father had sessfully won him over. The child hugged his new fathers upper thigh tightly. Mu Chenyan was so annoyed at Yuan Xuan that she kept mum. She could not look directly at the little boy and big boy who were echoing each other. As Yan Muyu had yet toprehend the idea of a wedding despite already attending one, Big Xuanzi whisked him away to make preparations for the event. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan became an outsider. Mom, Dad and I picked out a wedding dress for you today. It seems really tiring to be a groom because there are so many things to do. Id rather be a bride because all I have to do is eat, wander around, and go to work every day... Yan Muyu was clearly exhausted because his father took him to various ces and made him do numerous things. This would definitely exhaust a child who was only slightly over three years old. Mom, can I be a bride when I grow up? I dont want to be a groom because its too tiring! Mu Chenyan was amused when the little boy kept sighing after that. She ruffled her sons hair and smiled, saying, You cant be a bride, but your little sister can when she grows up. Little sister? What little sister? Yan Muyu picked up on the key phrase. Suddenly, his big eyes sparkled as he looked at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan affectionately exined, Your little sister is in your moms tummy. Dad, something is wrong! Hurry up, dad! Come here quickly! Yan Muyu loudly eximed when he heard that. He was terribly afraid. Mu Chenyan never expected that her son to react this way. The little boys expression changed, and he shrieked moments after his mother shared this secret with him. Chapter 352 - This Man Did Not Hold Back When He Pampered His Wife and Son Now

Chapter 352: This Man Did Not Hold Back When He Pampered His Wife and Son Now

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan was boiling soup for Mu Chenyan in the kitchen when he heard his son yelling for him, but the boy did not call him Big Xuanzi this time and sounded rather afraid. Yuan Xuan ran to the hall and gathered him into his arms. He asked, Whats wrong? Dad, mom just told me that my little sister is in her belly because mom ate her! Yan Muyu turned around and peered at Mu Chenyan fearfully. Mu Chenyan ced her hand on her forehead, her expression darkening. The little boy really made her sound like the witch from Hansel and Gretel. Yuan Xuan was momentarily baffled. The handsome man nced at Mu Chenyan. He said in a deep voice, What do you mean? What little sister? Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him. She was so embarrassed that she decided to ignore her son and his father. She merely rose and went to the bedroom. Yuan Xuan remained glued to the spot. The schr pondered for several minutes before connecting the dots finally. He was so emotional that his hands trembled when he lifted his son up high to spin him around happily. Youre going to have a little sister! My little princess is here! That would exin why the womans appetite had increased during this period of time. She was also more bashful when her husband requested to make love at night. This was the reason. Yan Muyu was mature for his age, but he was still a child after all. His parents current behavior frightened him so much that he nearly cried. Yuan Xuan regained hisposure right away and consoled his son. He used a popr scientific analogy to exin the origins of children to his son. Dad, are you saying that you took a tadpole and ced it in moms belly? Is it really going to grow up and be a child? Yan Muyu looked at himself. He simply could not believe that he used to be a tadpole. Yes, you could say that! So my parents are frogs... Hmm, that... How did you put it inside? Yan Muyu asked another question. Yuan Xuans entire body stiffened as he was caught unprepared by the question. Umm, I used a syringe to inject it... Did it hurt as much as getting a flu shot? Yan Muyu pensively asked. His little face was flushed, and he looked rather scared. No, it didnt hurt. Little Yan, did you cry during your injection? But mom cried when you inserted that thing inside her... Yan Muyu said cautiously. Yuan Xuan instantly thought that this little boy had a bright future ahead of him. He just made a dirty joke without batting an eyelid... * The Old Mistress was extremely fond of Yan Muyu when he returned. However, she was still a little unhappy about the fact that this childsst name was Yan. Her heart was filled with joy when she heard that Mu Chenyan was pregnant again. This babysst name would be Yuan regardless whether it was a boy or a girl. The Old Mistress felt rather remorseful when she recalled her treatment of Mu Chenyan all these years. She also noticed how her grandson had suffered during the years Mu Chenyan was gone. Now that Mu Chenyan had returned, Yuan Xuan had also regained his former vigor. The Old Mistress grandson had suffered for half of his life. It looked like he treasured this young woman because she was the only person who could make him happy. As his grandmother, her remorse would probably follow her to her grave if she did note to her senses. The Old Mistress instructed someone to call Mu Chenyan over. She was going to give her a jade Buddha pendant from her own jewelry box. When your grandfather was fighting the bandits that year, he had raided the leadersir and seized this item from them. Its rumored that it belonged to the emperor during the ancient times. Your grandfathers superiors rewarded him with this jade pendant for his military aplishments. Mu Chenyan looked at that piece of beautiful jade. It was pure and gave off a mysterious glimmer that reminded her of the ancient times. She had seen numerous treasures in the Mu household, but there were only a few with colors and appearances that could rival this jade. This was definitely an excellent item. She nced at it a few more times . Doubts stirred in her mind as she thought, Is she going to give it to me? Mu Chenyans expression did not betray her thoughts. Unlike the other people in the Yuan Family Mansion who worshiped this elderly woman, Mu Chenyan was always indifferent toward her. Nheless, she did not resent the old woman. Many years have passed since youve be a part of the Yuan Family, but I never gave you a decent present. This jade Buddha pendant has been with me for several decades, but Im giving it to you today. Please consider this as an apology... The Old Mistress was on the verge of tears when she said this. She ced the fine piece of jade on Mu Chenyans palm. Mu Chenyan was so stunned by the Old Mistress words that her entire body trembled. The slight coolness from the jade Buddha in her palm jerked Mu Chenyan out of her reverie. A lump formed in her throat. She realized that Yuan Xuan had never told the Old Mistress the truth about Yuan Tangbais sacrifice. Mu Chenyan was filled with uneasiness when she realized that the Old Mistress was apologizing to her without knowing about her true identity. Grandmother, why are you giving this away when grandfather gave it to you? She tried to decline, but the Old Mistress pressed her palm closed. She murmured, Men wear the Guanyin while women wear the Buddha. If you keep this close to you, itll ensure that your life is peaceful. The Yuan Family cannot endure any trouble anymore. Youve returned and given the Yuan Family two great-grandchildren. Please dont hold any grudges against me for the things that I did in the past... The Old Mistress took a deep breath as she said that. She sighed, Im old, but itll be fine for me to die now that Ive seen Yuan Xuan prosper! Mu Chenyan choked back sobs. Grandmother, please dont say that... ... Mu Chenyan was in low spirits when she returned from Upper Mansion. Yuan Xuan did not know about the touching moment that happened between those two women. He had merely assumed that Mu Chenyan was in a bad mood because she was bored at home. He suggested taking her shopping so that they could buy some things for their baby. Mu Chenyan was depressed when she was pregnant with Yan Muyu and did not care about preparing the items for his daily needs. Wu Meiyun single-handedly made the arrangements for those items after the child was born. Everything from his swaddling clothes to the other items was obviously the best from Capital City. Unfortunately, the childs mother was not the one who personally prepared those things for him. Mu Chenyan felt that she did not deserve Yan Muyu whenever she recalled this. When she had this baby, Mu Chenyan decided that she would make up properly for her previous shorings. Yuan Xuans suggestion excited her. Both of them got into his car and went to the shopping mall. * Inside the baby products store... Mu Chenyan was in an awkward predicament again. The saleswoman wanted to know the sex of her baby so that they could decide on a color scheme, but Mu Chenyan had no idea. Just rmend us the items for a girl! Yuan Xuan made the decision on her behalf. It seemed like he had already decided that he wanted a son and a daughter as soon as possible. Mu Chenyan did not argue with him. She merely smiled and allowed him to do as he pleased. This man did not hold back when he pampered his son and wife now. He would be incredibly happy if she really gave birth to a girl. When the saleswoman noticed Yuan Xuans dignified manner that made him stand out from the crowd, and the scene of him settling the bill shed in her mind. He would definitely be an excellent customer who would spend his money extravagantly. Themission that she would earn this afternoon would probably be more than a months sry. The saleswoman became more enthusiastic when she realized this. She spared no effort when she rmended the items to them. Mu Chenyans shopping cart was filled to the brim with products for the baby in no time. The salespersons eyes lit up brightly when Yuan Xuan passed her a ck card once they had finished shopping. Mu Chenyan trailed behind them. Many people were lining up to pay, but the cashier gave Yuan Xuan special treatment because he was a priority customer with a ck card. A staff member came over and opened another counter just for him so that he could pay. At this moment, a pregnant woman walked over while pushing her shopping cart. She lined up behind Mu Chenyan. Im sorry, maam. This counter was only opened for the customer in front of you and his wife. Please pay at the other counter. The salesperson politely stopped the pregnant woman. Oh? Could you make an exception for me? There are a lot of people there and my legs are already swollen. Its going to take a long time to line up... The womans voice was soft and gentle. It also sounded strangely familiar. Mu Chenyan turned and nced in the direction of the voice. She quietly eximed, Wen Ya! The woman was also shocked. Herplexion was pale when she saw Mu Chenyan. Her lips trembled as she said, Mu Chenyan, you... Youre back? Chapter 353 - The Truth About Yuan Zhe’s Death

Chapter 353: The Truth About Yuan Zhes Death

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan saw the surprise written all over Wen Yas face. They had not seen each other for three years, but Wen Ya still looked as pretty as before. She did not look thin anymore as she had gained some weight due to her pregnancy. Wen Ya, its really you! Mu Chenyan could not hide her excitement when she noticed that Wen Ya was also expecting a child. Her pregnancy seemed quite far along. Chenyan... When did you return... Wen Ya still seemed dazed from the shock. I came back recently! Mu Chenyan grabbed and held Wen Yas hands in her excitement. I couldnt contact you. I heard that you went to East City... Yuan Xuan came over and greeted Wen Ya when he saw the two women holding each others hands after he finished paying. He picked up Yan Muyu and turned to Mu Chenyan saying, Ill take our son home first. Why dont you two take your time catching up? Mu Chenyan nodded and instructed, Dont let Muyu eat anything cold at home. Wen Ya looked on as Yuan Xuan left with their son. Her soft voice was tinged with envy when she said, Your boy is so big now! Hes three years old! Mu Chenyan could not help the questions that popped up in her head when she looked at Wen Yas belly. She was too afraid to ask any questions though. Zheng Shuyan is the father of my child. Wen Ya had probably sensed the endless stream of doubts in Mu Chenyans mind. Her hand caressed her underbelly when she spoke. * The sun was setting in the west in the evening. It illuminated the ground in a glorious golden glow. The women found a quiet coffee shop. They both ordered fruit juice because they were pregnant and sat at a table that was next to the window. It seemed like time had turned back to more than a decade ago when they were both still studying. Mu Chenyans personality was cheerful and optimistic at that time while Wen Ya was quiet and calm. These two talented women were kindred spirits. They had formed a profound friendship with each other when they were studying in Ennd. Wen Ya had gone back home all of a sudden, and then came the news of her getting married. Mu Chenyan had never expected that a significant amount of her pride would be worn down during the years that both of them spent in the Yuan household. They realized that numerous things had changed as they sat together in silence once again. Did you really marry Zheng Shuyan? Mu Chenyan remembered that Wen Ya had this n in the beginning before she left. However, she never thought that this woman would be determined enough to keep her word. Yes! Wen Ya sounded faintly sheepish as she nodded. She murmured, Once his sentence ended, I sent an application to the relevant department so that I could marry him. I went there many times. They kept refusing to approve it because of Zheng Shuyans unique circumstances. Later, I was very grateful to Yuan Tian and Yuan Xuan because they pleaded on behalf of Zheng Shuyan. Fortunately, Zheng Shuyan showed that he had reformed when he worked in the prisons hospital. His excellent behavior in prison also allowed him to gain some rights. I could only marry him because of that... We had a very simple wedding. Once a month, we could, umm, meet in the prisons hospital... Wen Ya blushed when she said this. Mu Chenyan realized what she meant by meet. She also understood that this was how Wen Ya became pregnant. Mu Chenyan sighed in relief when she heard this. Wen Yas life could not be described as pitiful alone anymore. Wen Ya did not have any children with Yuan Zhe despite being married to him for so many years. He had even treated her with disdain and abused her because of that. Her current circumstances were definitely a good thing. Mu Chenyans gaze turned gloomy. The inferences that she made three years ago still gued her mind now. However, she could not bear to mention these things when she saw the contented expression on Wen Yas face. They chatted for some time before Wen Ya suddenly asked, Now that youre back in Luo Hai, did you return to your old job? Mu Chenyan was shocked. She said, its a bit different now. I had studied ichnology under Professor Shen Muchen at University A. Im working at the forensic department at the public security bureau. Mu Chenyan saw Wen Ya shiver. It seemed like she was very much in awe when Mu Chenyan mentioned the forensic department. I admire you very much. Youve always followed your dreams. No one wouldve expected you to work in the forensic department with the subject youve majored in college. Wen Ya eximed from the bottom of her heart. Her long eyshes fluttered. She looked like she still had something to say, but she was too afraid to continue. Mu Chenyan stared at Wen Ya and asked out of the blue, Wen Ya, do you regret it? Wen Ya was dumbfounded when she heard the question. The two women looked each other in the eye. What are you referring to? The incident with Zheng Shuyan! Mu Chenyan was not trying to expose the entire situation. She would definitely drop this subject if Wen Ya kept pretending that they were not on the same page. Wen Ya looked anxious. Her hands trembled when she picked up the ss of fruit juice at the side of the table. Wen Ya drank a mouthful of fruit juice and avoided Mu Chenyans gaze. Mu Chenyan remembered that Wen Yas emotions should not be provoked as she was pregnant. Sheforted her by saying, Its in the past. Just pretend that I never said anything if youre unwilling to bring it up... Chenyan, did you discover something? Wen Ya gave a bitter smiled. Her eyes seemed dazed, and they were filling up with tears. She could not run away from her problems forever. It looked like she had prepared herself. Mu Chenyan did not want toy everything out in the open yet. She answered Wen Yas question by remaining silent and simply staring at her. Honestly, so many years have passed, but I have no one to talk to it about. Its truly depressing for me to suppress it in my heart all this time! The corners of Wen Yas lips curled upward, but she looked rather miserable. She seemed relieved to finally be able to mention this. Mu Chenyan remained silent and continued to stare at Wen Ya. The other womans expression was enough to confirm all the suspicions in her heart. What else did she have to say now? Chenyan, how did you find out? What do you mean? How did you know that I was involved in Yuan Zhes death? The corners of Wen Yas lips curled up to reveal a mocking smile. She had said it so casually as though she was discussing someone elses problem. So youre admitting that you murdered Yuan Zhe! Mu Chenyan exposed the truth in a straightforward manner when she noticed that Wen Ya was not hiding it anymore. Wen Ya was not in a hurry to defend herself. Her chest that had indicated her anxious breathing had actually calmed down instead. She had kept this secret in the depths of her heart for several years. Now that it could finally spit it out, she could not do it any faster. There was finally someone who would listen to what she had to say today. Wen Ya did not panic at all. Rather, she felt more rxed than she had ever been. Wen Ya nced at Mu Chenyan and gave a faint smile. Youre right. I was the one who poisoned him! Wen Ya felt that her meeting with Mu Chenyan today had turned into a court trial. Mu Chenyan reached her hand out and held the other pair on hands on the table that was as smooth as jade. Her hands were quivering and cold to her touch. Wen Ya, I was merely specting, but I had known three years ago. Wen Ya could not seem to believe her. Three years ago? Mu Chenyan nodded. I didnt turn you in at that time, and Im obviously not going to do it now. Mu Chenyan was telling the truth. The thought of reporting Wen Ya to the police had really never crossed her mind. Nheless, this went against her duty as a member of the criminal police. This had nothing to do with justice. Mu Chenyan felt that once everyone removed their figurative halos, their malicious intentions would show that they had always been there all along. If she was given the choice, she would have wished for Yuan Zhes death as well. After all, that man waspletely devoid of goodness. On the contrary, he had done all kinds of evil deeds. However, that devil was previously backed by the Yuan Familys influence. It would be difficult to punish him if it was not for this ident. Wen Ya sighed. The glimmer in her eyes was suddenly tinged with resentment. She bit her lip and murmured, You already knew that the water filter system at home had two separate inlets for hot and cold water. Thats why you ced the poison pellet in the Y-shaped hot water inlet! said Mu Chenyan bluntly. Wen Ya smiled and nodded. Yes, youre very smart. Yuan Zhe washed the tea set and boiled the first pot of coffee with cold water. The cold water came from the left side of the Y-shaped inlet. Both of the reporters were safe because the first pot of coffee was not poisoned. Wen Ya released a drawn-out sigh of relief when she said this. It seemed like her body had been emptied of any burden as she leaned against the sofa. Mu Chenyan nced at Wen Yas eyes as iprehensible hatred shed through them. Yuan Zhe would definitely use the mint vored sugar cubes for the second pot of coffee. He had previously mentioned that coffee that was brewed again wouldnt taste good with the sugar cubes. He would always use hot water to boil the roasted coffee powder before adding the sugar cubes. Mu Chenyan listened and realized that Wen Ya had observed Yuan Zhes habits in life carefully. Yuan Zhe turned the water valve toward the right when he wanted to boil the second pot of water. The hot water flowed out of the right side of the Y-shaped water inlet and allowed the poison to be mixed with the pot of coffee. Mu Chenyan understood why the second batch of coffee contained poison now. Zheng Shuyan thought of me immediately when he heard that something had happened in the Yuan household... Wen Ya covered her face miserably when she said this. I stole the poison from hisboratory. Zheng Shuyan rushed to my office at once and spoke to me when he discovered that Yuan Zhe was poisoned to death. He gave me that box of sugar cubes. Mu Chenyans inference was nearly urate. Am I wrong to assume that Zheng Shuyan was nning to use that box of sugar cubes to kill Yuan Zhe? Mu Chenyan quietly asked. Wen Ya nodded tearfully. She said, Yes, he had originally nned to bribe the servants at home to ce the sugar cubes that were injected with poison in our house. He knew that I would never use those vored sugar cubes. However, I took matters into my own hands before he carried out his n. Thats why he gave me the sugar cubes so that I could put it on the wine rack when I returned to Peace Mansion. I didnt know that the sugar cubes were poisoned at that time. I had returned to the crime scene at Peace Mansion and pretended to take something inside. It was then I ced the sugar cubes near the wine rack. The police officers were only paying attention to whether I took anything from the scene, but they did not care about the items that I had brought inside with me. Mu Chenyan remained silent. She continued listening attentively to Wen Ya as she quietly retold the story. Zheng Shuyan did this to shift the polices focus onto himself. He wanted to ensure that everything would go smoothly when he turned himself inter. Mu Chenyan pondered before she asked, Did Zheng Shuyan instruct you to lead Su Qingcheng there so that she would discover the box of sugar cubes? Wen Ya covered her face and sobbed. Yes. The police had failed to discover that box of sugar cubes. Zheng Shuyan called me using a public phone and told me to lead the police there so that they would discover the sugar cubes. If I knew at that time that he was nning to surrender himself and take the me for the entire situation, I would never have... Mu Chenyans heart was filled with sorrow for these two miserable lovers after hearing what Wen Ya had said. Wen Ya, you have to pay a life for a life. You should already be aware of consequences like this! Wen Ya raised her head from the crook of her elbow where it was buried. She looked at Mu Chenyan andmented, Yes, I had already prepared myself to ept these consequences the moment I poisoned him. I just never thought that Zheng Shuyan would sacrifice himself for me... Wen Ya started crying again. Mu Chenyan consoled her right away when she remembered that pregnant women like her were not supposed to be emotionally burdened. Wen Ya, you must control yourself for the sake of your child. The woman was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, but these words were enough to sober her up. She wiped her tears away, and her swollen red eyes peered at Mu Chenyan. She murmured, How did you realize that it was me? Three years ago, you asked me to return to Peace Mansion to take some of your personal belongings for you while you were hospitalized. Do you still remember that? Wen Ya pondered for a while before she realized that this had certainly happened. When I went to Peace Mansion, Little Cui went upstairs to take the things that you wanted while I sat downstairs and waited. I discovered that the Japanese banana tree in the garden had died when I was there! Wen Yasplexion turned ashen when the Japanese banana tree was mentioned. She remembered that her first child was buried under that tree. You probably know why that tree is dead. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Wu Huai had actually wondered if someone had done something to the water inlet. That was why he took the water samples, but nothing showed up during theboratory tests. Youve vomited the first time you returned to the crime scene. After that, youve requested to wash the remnants away from the ground under the Japanese banana tree. The remaining poison inside the water filter system was removed when you took the water from there. Since you took too much water, you watered the nts around the Japanese banana tree as well. However, you underestimated the strength of the poison. A little whileter, the Japanese banana tree and the surrounding nts all died. When I went to Peace Mansion, Little Cuiined that the Japanese banana tree was dead. I immediately recalled your previous actions and made a mental connection between them. That allowed me to reach this conclusion! I took a sample of the soil back with me. I asked Su Qingcheng to get it tested in theboratory when she went to the forensic department. Later, they found traces of M36n in the soil sample. Wen Ya could not help but admire Mu Chenyans meticulous thought process when she heard this. She knew that Wu Huai was experienced in solving cases like these. She had to ensure that the poison was carefully administered. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to escape once the traces of the poison were discovered in the water filter system at home. She thought of every possible way to use more water when she returned. This would lessen the amount of poison that remained. It was also another reason why Wu Huai failed to see any results despite having instructed his staff to take samples of the water several times already. However, Mu Chenyan was a logical and highly intelligent person. She had made those inferences just by noticing that the Japanese banana tree had died. Chenyan, please give me some time. Let me give birth to this child and... Your child will need his mother to take care of him once hes born! Mu Chenyan interrupted Wen Ya, but her gaze was much gentler now. Wen Ya was stunned. She whispered, Arent you going to turn me in? I work for the forensic department now, but Im not God. On the contrary, I have a selfish side. The corners of Mu Chenyans lips tugged up into a small smile when she said this. Im rather evil too! It would probably be impossible for Yuan Zhe to pay for his sins even if he died a hundred times over. His fate could only end in the same way. The only problem was deciding who would be the one punishing him. Zheng Shuyan had already paid the price for his crime. If Mu Chenyan imed that all this was because of justice, then why did justice not help Wen Ya to get away from that demon a long time ago? Why did it force her onto the road of no return? This kind of thinking would make everyone else would believe that her Three Worldviews were skewed, so she could not speak anything about it. Chapter 354 - You’re A Good Brother.

Chapter 354: Youre A Good Brother.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya and Mu Chenyan felt so much better after they sorted things out. The woman took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. She looked at Mu Chenyan and thought that the woman in front of her had gone through a lot. She was arrested at her wedding, so she must have been dested. Then, she had to suffer in jail and was tormented with the separation of her loved ones. If this were to happen on an average person, they would probably cry in misery all day long. However, God seemed to favor her as there were no signs of resentment or vicissitudes of life on her face. In their ce was instead a natural hint of tranquility. Wen Ya thought for a moment and did not know how to open up on another secret she had. She saw how calm Mu Chenyan looked at the moment, only then did she dared to say, Chenyan, do you know Yuan Tangzhong was the one who framed you? Mu Chenyan was still a little surprised with this information and a hint of amazement shed through her bright eyes. You knew? Wen Ya nodded and smiled bitterly. Im very timid, and Im not as smart as you to have realized it sooner. However, I have known for a long time the romantic rtionship between Yuan Tangzhong and the fake Qinger! Even so, Mu Chenyan was not surprised to know about the rtionship between Yuan Tangzhong and Zhao Ruoxin. She already knew that Zhao Ruoxin had a fatherplex during the investigation in City C. However, I didnt think that the woman wasnt Qinger at that time. Moreover, I never thought he was the one who had killed the imposter, Qinger and took two lives! I only got this information out of him in the ward after he was being taken down by Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan remained silent for a while. Yuan Tangzhong was the culprit, and he had framed her. This information still rattled her after all this while. Wen Ya had a guilty and a slightly dignified look on her face, I dont understand why he framed you... Also, during your two years in prison, I dared not tell anyone about the rtionship between him and the fake Qinger. If I were to give this information to the police earlier, they might able to find some important clues. Can you forgive me for being weak at that time... Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Tangzhong might have framed her because of her identity. It was all about Mu Feng, Yuan Tangzhong, Yuan Xuan, and the confrontation andpetition between the three forces. She had just been so unfortunate as to have been the chess piece that had to be sacrificed in this battle of theirs. However, everything has be a thing of the past! Just as Yuan Xuan had said, those who were supposed to die were dead already. Therefore, these misunderstandings and their origins were really not as important anymore. She had suffered what she had to suffer, and she had even epted the things that were much crueler than what the truth could be. She had experienced many farewells with Yuan Xuan, and now she no longer wanted to keep anyints or hatred in her heart. Wen Ya, its all in the past already! Mu Chenyan gave a small smile. She had to be the one tofort Wen Ya instead when she saw how restless the woman was. The result wouldve been the same regardless of whether youve told the truth. After all, even Yuan Xuan could not protect me at that time. Wen Ya felt a gush of warmth rising from underneath her heart when she heard that. She grabbed Mu Chenyan with her trembling hands. Today, the rock that has been stuck inside my heart for such a long time seems to have finally fallen to the ground... * Yuan Family Mansion... A babys wail pierced through the atmosphere. Sister, sister, stop crying. Ive given you all my ice cream, why are you still crying... Yan Muyus voice sounded a little desperate as he stared at the doorway with his huge dark eyes and waved his little hands. He was frightened from watching the baby waggling its hands and feet inside the stroller and crying until she sounded almost out of breath. Muyu, are you bullying your sister again? Mu Chenyan smiled as she walked out of the bathroom and saw her son holding a half-eaten murder weapon in his handa chocte ice cream cone. The yet to melt chocte ice cream on the babys red lips was the evidence. Her lips had been attacked suddenly by a cold murder weapon when she was sleeping peacefully. She was so frightened by the sensation she had burst into tears almost immediately. Mu Chenyan picked up the pinkish little princess quickly and wiped her lips. The little princess had fallen asleep after Mu Chenyan breastfed her for a short while. Only then Mu Chenyan breathed a long sigh of relief. Yan Muyu seemed to be very frustrated. His head was lowered, and the ice cream in his hands had melted already. He was feeling down, so he wiped his little hands on his pants, and his clothes were filthy with chocte. Muyu,e here. Mu Chenyans voice was very gentle as she reached her hands out to Yan Muyu. Yan Muyu seemed a little scared. His eyes turned red, and he dared not move forward. Muyu, mum has a question for you: do you like your sister very much? Mu Chenyan asked in a gentle tone as she moved and wrapped her arms around her son. Yan Muyu nodded. I wanted to give her chocte, so she can stop sleeping all the time. I want her to grow up quickly so that she can y with me! Mu Chenyanughed when she heard that. Sheforted him by saying, You like your sister, so you gave her something you think is the best. You did the right thing and youre a good brother. Yan Muyu nodded earnestly and looked at the ice cream in his hand. He was not willing to finish it even though it had melted into a pool of water. Sister is still too young now, so she cant eat this now.But when she grows up a little, shell know the person who loves her the most is her brother! Mu Chenyanid a light kiss on Yan Muyus head. Her heart was touched deeply. This child, Yan Muyu, was born a little lonely. He was not as mischievous as the other three to four years old children. He had a delicate yet sensitive mind, and his arrogant temper was most probably very simr to Yuan Xuan when he was a child. However, he had somewhat changed ever since his sister was born. He began to pay attention to his sister, and he would always care for his sister excessively. The eager look on his face could not help but remind Mu Chenyan of Yuan Xuan as a child. Yan Muyu was a child who grew up under the care of her parents. On the other hand, Yuan Xuan had been an orphan ever since he was a child. Although the Old Mistress loved him very much, it was not the same as the love of his parents. That was how his cold and arrogant character had been cultivated to such an extent. It was indeed true that everything had its cause. Mu Chenyans heart was warm when she thought of that. Chef Yuan took over the kitchen once again during dinner time. She saw the handsome man rolling his sleeves up and his well-defined features. He made cooking seem like a piece of art with the earnest look on his face. Mu Chenyan could not help but feel loved. Brother Xuan... The woman wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, cing her cheek on the mans back and inhaling the unique scent of his body with her eyes closed. Yuan Xuan was shocked. She already had kids, but she still called him Brother Xuan just like when she was a young girl. The man seemed to have suddenly gotten a hint. Little Chenyan, do you want your husband to love you properly in bed? Hmm? The mans voice became hoarse and his throat trembled slightly. Mu Chenyan smiled in secret. As expected, men were truly animals who thought with their dicks... I just want to hold you like this! Mu Chenyan felt emotional all of a sudden. She rubbed her face on the mans back as though she was a kitten that had just woken up. The man turned around abruptly and lifted her up. Then, he strode in the direction of the stairs. Mu Chenyan was terribly frightened as she grabbed his clothes with her tiny hands. She asked in a low voice, What are you doing? Its time for dinner! Let me eat you first... Whenever the man was getting emotional, his voice would sound hoarse and sonorous. His eyes were filled with tenderness. Its not enough, its never enough... The starry sky in the summer night seemed boundless. A light breeze blew and the insects croaked... Chapter 357 - She Was Indeed 19 Years Old, But She Was Not a Man...

Chapter 357: She Was Indeed 19 Years Old, But She Was Not a Man...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The dark-skin boy groaned in pain and covered his throbbing forehead with his hand. He looked up and Shao Yibais devilishly handsome face that was getting clearer and clearer at the moment as the fog dispersed The fair-skin boy was so stunned he did not dare to even make a sound. All he did was to wrapped his arms around his chest, tears glimmering in his eyes. Big brother, are you all soldiers? The dark-skin boys eyes were beaming as he stared at Shao Yibais army-colored camouge uniform and the glistering gun at this waist. Yes! What are you both afraid of? Shao Yibai asked in a low voice. Someone is chasing after us! said the dark-skin boy in excitement. He suddenly felt as though there was hope for them. At this time, a stream of profanities could be heard behind their backs. If I catch those two brats, Ill shoot them both down! It seemed like fasting them for an entire day was not enough. Ill get them so hungry that theyll not even have the strength to walk. Lets see how they can run... Shao Yibais gaze turned cold. He pulled the two of them behind him and gave a signal to his subordinates with a wave of his hand. The few of them had formed a circle around the area and was ready to ambush the enemies. The dark-skin boy was getting a little excited. He grabbed hold of the fair-skin boys hand tightly and sobbed, Theyre about to fight... Shao Yibais pressed his index finger against his lips, telling them to not make any sound. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Shao Yibai made a three, two sign with his hand, indicating that there were three people and two of whom were trained fighters. The driver was gasping for air as he jogged behind the two idiots. Before he could even make sense of what was going on, a gunshot sounded out of nowhere and Bearded Man Three who was running in the front fell onto the ground. Shit! This is a trap! Bearded Man Two realized that they had been ambushed. He hid in the bushes and prepared himself to fight. The people that Shao Yibai brought along were professionally trained soldiers who had received the best training. However, their opponent was just mere human-trafficking idiots. Therefore, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would be no match for them. A gunshot sounded. Ten minutester, Bearded Man Two who was hiding in the bushes was killed on the spot. The driver also had a gun in his hand, but he was captured without any resistance. The driver was pressed onto the ground. He screamed for mercy, crying with snot running down his face. Where are the rest? Shao Yibai knew that other than drug dealing, this area was also known for human trafficking. Not only weak women and children were their targets, but even young strong adults were also taken for their organs to be sold in the ck market... Therefore, it was impossible that there were only two victims if they were seen to be on the move. These two children must have escaped by themselves. The others are waiting in front, they havent left yet... The driver said, hugging his head and crying. Shao Yibai shouted at the fair skin boy shivering beside him, Come on, lets go save the others! The dark-skin boy jumped out of the bush along with the fair-skin boy. He saw Bearded Man Two who almost managed to assault him turn into a corpse. Even in the brink of death, the man was holding tight onto his gun. His body still looked murderous even in death. The fair-skin boy could not help but turn pale with fright. Shao Yibais action was extremely urate and quick. His eyes were looked murderous. Along with his elite equipment and handsome looks, the dark-skin boy had already be an invested admirer of his. The only thing he had restrained from doing was to throw himself at him! He followed Shao Yibai excitedly and headed in the direction where they had just came from. The remaining few idiots thought that the gunshots were fired by one of them. The bearded manughed and said to hispanion, Second Brother killed the kid, so we have no choice but to collect his corpse! The men burst outughing, and the teenagers next to them covered their mouths out of fear and dared not even to cry out loud. At this moment, both of Shao Yibais daggers flew out of his hands... Half an hourter... Eleven people, including the dark-skin boy and fair-skin boy, were rescued. Send them to the countrys relief station! Shao Yibai made arrangements after checking the goods and the number of people. Some of the teenagers were rejoicing, and some were crying tears of joy. They followed the soldiers to get some food first as they waited for the countrys helicopter to pick them up. However, the fair-skin boy and the dark-skin boy did not move. Big brother, can I stay with you? The dark-skin boy stared at Shao Yibai and asked. The handsome man smiled and asked in a low voice, Whats your name? Tian Qi! The dark-skin man answered firmly with a joyful look on his little face. The Tian from farnd and Qi from seven days [TN: In Chinese characters, the word Tian is the same as the first character of the word of farnd, which is Tian Di; whereas the word Qi is the same as the first character of the word seven days, which is Qi Tian]! Shao Yibai could not help butugh when he heard that. The few Special Forces soldiers next to him saw Tian Qis dark-colored face and could not help butugh along. How old are you? What does your family do? Shao Yibai pinched Tian Qis shoulder. Tian Qi could no longer be considered as a young boy. However, since he had been starved for a long period, he seemed very frail and weak. Reporting sir, Im 18 years old. Im the only one left in the family. Im an orphan! A beautiful woman who was practicing medicine came to the vige and said that she could bring him along to explore the outside world. Tian Qi was a very curious boy, so he followed the beautiful woman out of the mountain, but he found that he was sold to the idiots at the end... Why do you want to follow me? Shao Yibai supressed the urge tough when he saw the serious look on his face and nasked in a low voice. I can hold guns, go on war, and even fill my belly if I follow you! Tian Qi smiled and scratched his head. He was drooling as he stared at the glistering gun Shao Yibai was carrying... Shao Yibai smiled once again, and his gaze fell onto the fair-skin boy whose head was lowered standing at the side. He asked, Whats your name? The fair-skin boy was shocked. He looked left and right only to make sure that this Godlike man had asked him a question. He bit his lips and said with a trembled voice, Su Qing... Su Qingdai! He reported a fake name! He had reservations even towards his savior. It was not that he was ungrateful, but he had been through too much and had already lost his trust in people. After all, it was no other than his parents who had sold him to the human traffickers. She had many siblings at home, and she was the most obedient one. She went to work in the field with her parents during the day and read her brothers books in secret when she went home at night. She had a wish in her heart, which was to be able to go to school if her familys ie had gotten better... Up until one day, her father brought her to the market in the town to buy her food and new clothes. Then, he handed her over to the owner of a shop in the market and told her to do some work there to earn some pocket money. She did not know just then that she was sold by her father! She kept herself busy for an entire day and was rather satisfied with her job. At the very least, she could still make some money. When the night arrived, the old man in the shop took off his clothes and pounced at her. Only then she knew that she was the best looking daughter in the family, but she was still worth only 10,000 yuan... Run! She managed to knocked the drunk old man onto the ground with the stamina she had gained from working so in the field over the past few years. Then, she took some money from the shop and escaped. She ran a dozen miles, cut her hair in another town and bought some mens clothes. Perhaps she was destined to be sold. She fled to the countys town and got on the train with a local job recruiter. She thought that she was on the way to work in the southern region, but it turned out that she was being sold to the border between Yunnan and Myanmar by these idiots... ... Shao Yibai sizedShu Qingdai up and patted her body with his big hand. Then, he said calmly, How old are you? As a man, youre way too thin! Shu Qingdai almost fell into the pit when he patted her. She gathered herself and looked at the man. She could see his sexy throat and strong, big hands. The man spoke mandarin perfectly with a Capital Citys noble ent. His pronounciation was urate, and his tone was pleasant. Shu Qingdai was so shy she could not bring herself to look him in the eye. Im 19 years old... She was indeed 19 years old, but she was not a man... Chapter 356 - Bearded Man Two Was Into Men

Chapter 356: Bearded Man Two Was Into Men

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yunnan-Burma junction... The dense woods covered up the sky above. It had just rained, and the air was filled with a damp and moldy smell. The heavy tires of the military trucks ran over the mountain roads, causing the pools of water to ssh about, and left deep marks on the roads. Due to andslide up front, the path had been sealed by fallen stones. The truck driver cursed with a strong ent and jumped out of the car to assess the situation. Not long after, he ran back and said to the few idiots behind the truck, Fuck, the road ispletely blocked. We cant advance from here. If we were to go around it, Im afraid that we wont be able to reach Brother Shengs ce tonight! What should we do? A corner of the army green canvas flipped open, and a bearded idiot with fierce features appeared. Hemented loudly, Bastard! Why does it have to be blocked at this time! The stock in this truck needs to catch the ride tomorrow to be transported. What good will it do if theyre being out here? How do we take another route? The driver sighed and nced at the people in the car. Theres a forest path nearby that will lead us out of this canyon in six hours. However, if you bring these brats with you, Im afraid that you wont be able to move fast. We need to get out of that forest before it turns dark. Itll be very dangerous otherwise! Being in the rainforest during nighttime was akin to watching a live broadcast of the animal world. The driver still wanted to live a few more years. The bearded man turned around and saw a dozen huge dark eyes staring back at him. The little kids were looking around with fear in their eyes. The man sneered, They dont move fast? Hmm, Ill leave those who dont move quickly in the forest and feed them to the wolves! The car was filled with kids in their teens. Their huge dark eyes were wide open, and they were trembling in fear. Go! One after the other! The bearded man ordered the teenagers to get out of the car and follow the drivers guidance. They walked down a small twisted path with Bearded Man Two, Bearded Man Three, and Bearded Man Four carrying their loaded guns... It had just rained in the forest, so the path was much more slippery than what most of them had imagined. Moreover, the teenagers had been hungry for an entire day. Some of them simply could not move fast. Someone was bound to slip or fall with every step they make. After walking for more than an hour, they finally got onto the main road. A frail young boy in the team finally could not take it anymore. He fell into a puddle of water at the roadside. He was extremely filthy, and his frail body was not only slender but also weak. Since his skin was very fair, he seemed frighteningly pale when he was this exhausted. Heid motionless on the ground after he fell. It seemed like he was on the verge of dying. The bearded man noticed that the entire team had stopped moving. The children gave theirpanion on the ground a pitiful and doubtful look. Fuck! You have the mood to ask for pity at this time? Why? Do you think that I would let you go just because you fell? The bearded man was fuming with rage and was about to hit the boy with his gunstock. Bearded Man Two grabbed him and said, Theres no point in hitting him. This guy must be very hungry. Look how skinny he is. Youll kill him with just a few hits. Then you wont be able to sell him for even 10,000 yuan! Hes as skinny as a girl. How much can I hope to sell him for? Thats not necessarily true. If his kidneys, heart, and liver managed to match someone elses, we could sell them for a good price, Bearded Man Two said and smiled wickedly. He looked at the teenager lying on the ground and sighed. Not to mention, this little guy looks pretty. It would be great if he was a girl. I couldve given it a go... Even brats cant stop you from having fun! Bearded Man Three said with a smile. Everyone looked at each other. It seemed like they were very interested in this suggestion. The few of them had been walking for an entire day and already had the urge to curse at someone. Talking about this topic had made their sour mood earlier lightened up. The teenager on the ground was trembling in fear when he heard theirughter and conversation. He tried to get up and walk towards hispanion in the camp, but he fell again. You guys should stop talking. This little fe is evoking my desires... Bearded Man Two looked at the teenager who had turned into a mud monkey on the ground. Who knew where his desire wasing from... Damn it! The young man cursed in his heart, and his body started trembling uncontrobly. Bearded Man Two squatted down, grabbed his clothes, picked him up, and caressed his fair little face. Suddenly, he picked the young boy up and smiled at the few of them. Ill give it a go first, you guys can go ahead! The teenager who was on the mans back sensed the danger he was in. Fuck, Bearded Man Two was into men! It seemed like it was still unsafe after disguising as a boy! Let me go... He started crying and smacking Bearded Man Twos back with his little hands. Nheless, his attacks were as harmless as a mosquito bite, and it was not in the least terrifying. The row of teenagers was frightened. One of the darker-skinned children was a little braver, so he rushed out and blocked Bearded Man Two with his thin body. He then shouted, Let him go! What are you going to do? The dark-skinned boys entire body was piercing cold. Even though he was weak, this child had looked so murderous until Bearded Man Two was truly shocked. The man was very annoyed when he saw someone interrupting him. Heunched a kick but he did not expect the dark-skinned child to dodge it nimbly. On top of that, he made a counterattack and threw Bearded Man Two onto the ground. Bearded Man Two lost his bnce and fell. The young man on his back was thrown off his back. The dark-skinned child suddenly rushed over, grabbed the faired-skinned boy, and together they ran towards the woods next to the tiny path with all their might. The incident happened too suddenly and since the few idiots were already a distance away, they simply did not think that someone dared to escape under the threat of their loaded guns. There were branches and vines growing on looming trees that stretched into the sky on both sides of the road all over the mountains. The two children ran into the woods and disappeared without a trace. The young boy originally had no strength left in him, but the hope of escaping this nightmare had set off his potential to run. He did not know where it came from, but it was as if God had given his legs the strength to run away with the dark-skinned boy. The idiots were furious and chased after them immediately. They raised their guns andunched a shot ahead of them as they ran. The sound of the gunshot broke through the sky. It alerted the group of people who was lurking at the side of the road. Report captain, the gunshote from 11 oclock southeast! Liu Tong reported to Shao Yibai in a low voice on the news that the scouting soldiers found. They were lurking around here to help the drug investigation team to ambush a group of drug dealers. Shao Yibai heard the report, thought for a moment and ordered in a low voice, Get a few people to follow me. Youll stay here and continue the ambush, chiefmander! The five of them ran in the direction of the gunshot along with Shao Yibai. Shao Yibais had been pretty excited ever since he moved from Yan State to the Sunni Triangle. This was the ce where a Special Forces soldier like him should be at. The sound of the gunshot made him very excited! The battlefield made him feel like he was alive and well! This unexpected situation kept his mental state at a constant excited state! He walked between the vines and felt there was an unidentified creature closing in on him. The vignt man cleared his mind, listened to the footsteps, and gestured with his hand to everyone know not to shoot. Its a child! Shao Yibai could tell from the footsteps that two people were stepping on the slippery road and they both weigh less than 45 kg. Not long after, two young boys, one dark-skinned and one faired-skinned, popped out of the bushes at the side and plunged into Shao Yibais arms...

Chapter 357: She Was Indeed 19 Years Old, But She Was Not a Man...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The dark-skin boy groaned in pain and covered his throbbing forehead with his hand. He looked up and Shao Yibais devilishly handsome face that was getting clearer and clearer at the moment as the fog dispersed The fair-skin boy was so stunned he did not dare to even make a sound. All he did was to wrapped his arms around his chest, tears glimmering in his eyes. Big brother, are you all soldiers? The dark-skin boys eyes were beaming as he stared at Shao Yibais army-colored camouge uniform and the glistering gun at this waist. Yes! What are you both afraid of? Shao Yibai asked in a low voice. Someone is chasing after us! said the dark-skin boy in excitement. He suddenly felt as though there was hope for them. At this time, a stream of profanities could be heard behind their backs. If I catch those two brats, Ill shoot them both down! It seemed like fasting them for an entire day was not enough. Ill get them so hungry that theyll not even have the strength to walk. Lets see how they can run... Shao Yibais gaze turned cold. He pulled the two of them behind him and gave a signal to his subordinates with a wave of his hand. The few of them had formed a circle around the area and was ready to ambush the enemies. The dark-skin boy was getting a little excited. He grabbed hold of the fair-skin boys hand tightly and sobbed, Theyre about to fight... Shao Yibais pressed his index finger against his lips, telling them to not make any sound. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Shao Yibai made a three, two sign with his hand, indicating that there were three people and two of whom were trained fighters. The driver was gasping for air as he jogged behind the two idiots. Before he could even make sense of what was going on, a gunshot sounded out of nowhere and Bearded Man Three who was running in the front fell onto the ground. Shit! This is a trap! Bearded Man Two realized that they had been ambushed. He hid in the bushes and prepared himself to fight. The people that Shao Yibai brought along were professionally trained soldiers who had received the best training. However, their opponent was just mere human-trafficking idiots. Therefore, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would be no match for them. A gunshot sounded. Ten minutester, Bearded Man Two who was hiding in the bushes was killed on the spot. The driver also had a gun in his hand, but he was captured without any resistance. The driver was pressed onto the ground. He screamed for mercy, crying with snot running down his face. Where are the rest? Shao Yibai knew that other than drug dealing, this area was also known for human trafficking. Not only weak women and children were their targets, but even young strong adults were also taken for their organs to be sold in the ck market... Therefore, it was impossible that there were only two victims if they were seen to be on the move. These two children must have escaped by themselves. The others are waiting in front, they havent left yet... The driver said, hugging his head and crying. Shao Yibai shouted at the fair skin boy shivering beside him, Come on, lets go save the others! The dark-skin boy jumped out of the bush along with the fair-skin boy. He saw Bearded Man Two who almost managed to assault him turn into a corpse. Even in the brink of death, the man was holding tight onto his gun. His body still looked murderous even in death. The fair-skin boy could not help but turn pale with fright. Shao Yibais action was extremely urate and quick. His eyes were looked murderous. Along with his elite equipment and handsome looks, the dark-skin boy had already be an invested admirer of his. The only thing he had restrained from doing was to throw himself at him! He followed Shao Yibai excitedly and headed in the direction where they had just came from. The remaining few idiots thought that the gunshots were fired by one of them. The bearded manughed and said to hispanion, Second Brother killed the kid, so we have no choice but to collect his corpse! The men burst outughing, and the teenagers next to them covered their mouths out of fear and dared not even to cry out loud. At this moment, both of Shao Yibais daggers flew out of his hands... Half an hourter... Eleven people, including the dark-skin boy and fair-skin boy, were rescued. Send them to the countrys relief station! Shao Yibai made arrangements after checking the goods and the number of people. Some of the teenagers were rejoicing, and some were crying tears of joy. They followed the soldiers to get some food first as they waited for the countrys helicopter to pick them up. However, the fair-skin boy and the dark-skin boy did not move. Big brother, can I stay with you? The dark-skin boy stared at Shao Yibai and asked. The handsome man smiled and asked in a low voice, Whats your name? Tian Qi! The dark-skin man answered firmly with a joyful look on his little face. The Tian from farnd and Qi from seven days [TN: In Chinese characters, the word Tian is the same as the first character of the word of farnd, which is Tian Di; whereas the word Qi is the same as the first character of the word seven days, which is Qi Tian]! Shao Yibai could not help butugh when he heard that. The few Special Forces soldiers next to him saw Tian Qis dark-colored face and could not help butugh along. How old are you? What does your family do? Shao Yibai pinched Tian Qis shoulder. Tian Qi could no longer be considered as a young boy. However, since he had been starved for a long period, he seemed very frail and weak. Reporting sir, Im 18 years old. Im the only one left in the family. Im an orphan! A beautiful woman who was practicing medicine came to the vige and said that she could bring him along to explore the outside world. Tian Qi was a very curious boy, so he followed the beautiful woman out of the mountain, but he found that he was sold to the idiots at the end... Why do you want to follow me? Shao Yibai supressed the urge tough when he saw the serious look on his face and nasked in a low voice. I can hold guns, go on war, and even fill my belly if I follow you! Tian Qi smiled and scratched his head. He was drooling as he stared at the glistering gun Shao Yibai was carrying... Shao Yibai smiled once again, and his gaze fell onto the fair-skin boy whose head was lowered standing at the side. He asked, Whats your name? The fair-skin boy was shocked. He looked left and right only to make sure that this Godlike man had asked him a question. He bit his lips and said with a trembled voice, Su Qing... Su Qingdai! He reported a fake name! He had reservations even towards his savior. It was not that he was ungrateful, but he had been through too much and had already lost his trust in people. After all, it was no other than his parents who had sold him to the human traffickers. She had many siblings at home, and she was the most obedient one. She went to work in the field with her parents during the day and read her brothers books in secret when she went home at night. She had a wish in her heart, which was to be able to go to school if her familys ie had gotten better... Up until one day, her father brought her to the market in the town to buy her food and new clothes. Then, he handed her over to the owner of a shop in the market and told her to do some work there to earn some pocket money. She did not know just then that she was sold by her father! She kept herself busy for an entire day and was rather satisfied with her job. At the very least, she could still make some money. When the night arrived, the old man in the shop took off his clothes and pounced at her. Only then she knew that she was the best looking daughter in the family, but she was still worth only 10,000 yuan... Run! She managed to knocked the drunk old man onto the ground with the stamina she had gained from working so in the field over the past few years. Then, she took some money from the shop and escaped. She ran a dozen miles, cut her hair in another town and bought some mens clothes. Perhaps she was destined to be sold. She fled to the countys town and got on the train with a local job recruiter. She thought that she was on the way to work in the southern region, but it turned out that she was being sold to the border between Yunnan and Myanmar by these idiots... ... Shao Yibai sizedShu Qingdai up and patted her body with his big hand. Then, he said calmly, How old are you? As a man, youre way too thin! Shu Qingdai almost fell into the pit when he patted her. She gathered herself and looked at the man. She could see his sexy throat and strong, big hands. The man spoke mandarin perfectly with a Capital Citys noble ent. His pronounciation was urate, and his tone was pleasant. Shu Qingdai was so shy she could not bring herself to look him in the eye. Im 19 years old... She was indeed 19 years old, but she was not a man... Chapter 358 - Did He Think That Tears Were Tap Water That Could Just Come and Go as He Pleased?

Chapter 358: Did He Think That Tears Were Tap Water That Could Just Come and Go as He Pleased?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai studied Tian Qi and Shu Qingdai as he sat on the bench on one side of the military car. A hesitant look lingered on his face. Tian Qis eyes were filled with anticipation. The only thing was that he was not good with words, so all he said was: I dont want to go back. I want to follow you. This way, Ill get the chance to get y hand on the iron goods as well... He stared and drooled at the guns strapped on the waists of the soldiers passing by him. You want to be a soldier just to hold a gun? Shao Yibai asked with a smile. Tian Qi scratched his head and said embarrassingly, My dad used to be a soldier when he was younger. Later on, he returned home, changed his job, and married my mother. After giving birth to me, they took over the Banpo Mountain at the outer vige and nted fruit trees. Who knew that there was an old minefield halfway up the mountain... Tian Qi sobbed and rubbed his eyes. I was only three or four years old when they died. My grandpa raised me, and the only photos left at home are the pictures of my father when he was a soldier... Shao Yibai and the few soldiers around him listened to his story and remained silent. This was such a story! Shao Yibai could tell that this child was slow and looked up to the military profession. Nheless, the Special Forces were not just ordinary troops. The examination was very strict and it had high requirements for ones physical qualities. Not anyone could enter the team just because they wanted to. He could not promise him his request on the spot. Tian Qi was pretty decent. He had quite a huge physique and was rather tall, but he did not have any muscles on his body. He should be buff when he was fed well enough and would be able to make it with some training. However, this Shu Qingdai was too small, thin, and fair. If he were to wear a wig, people would actually believe that he was a woman... Su Qingdai seemed to have noticed Shao Yibais hesitation. She cleared her throat and dared not look at Shao Yibai. She averted her gaze from the man who was surrounded by an extravagance aura and said calmly, The Special Forces needs an army orderly, right? I... I will do theundry... make the bed and cook... Shao Yibai was filled with joy when he heard it. To be honest, the team that he brought with him did not have an army orderly. These soldiers were once spoiled at home, but they had to learn and practice all kinds of life skills here as they braved the elements. If he were to pick out someone whose job resembled an army orderly in the team, it would be Old Zhou who was responsible for cooking. I cant be sent back home! Shu Qingdai saw that Shao Yibai was not talking and she got a little anxious. The rim of her eyes turned red when she said, I was sold the first time by my... my neighbors... and I was sold the second time because I was deceived... I dont have any education, experience, and talent... Ive never left the town ever since I was a child. If Im being sent back home, Ill end up being sold again in the future... Shao Yibai could not bear to see anyone crying, especially a grown man crying like a woman. Tian Qi quickly added, Im an orphan too, and my grandfather has also passed away. If I were to return home, Ill still be restless! What if Im being cheated again or go on a wrong path? Either way, Ill only follow you! How old are you already? Are you sure youll be cheated and go on the wrong path? Shao Yibai saw that the two of them who looked like they had made up their minds to follow him no matter what! He jumped out of the chair, waved hisrge hand and said with a hoarse voice, Well done, you guys are returning my kindness with ingratitude, and now youre still nning to rely on me? Tian Qiughed shyly and grabbed his already messed up hair. He then nced at Shu Qingdai and whispered, Quick, continue crying... Shu Qingdai could not think of a word to reply. Did he think that tears were tap water that could juste and go as he pleased? Shao Yibai wasughing. Then, he looked at Shu Qingdai and his thin build. He did not know what had struck his mind, or perhaps it was the little guys pretty face that made him unable to shout at her. Follow the team then. Ill submit both of your political review materials to the higher authorities in a while. If youre lucky enough to get through it, youll officially be a soldier! Right after Shao Yibai finished speaking, Tian Qi was so happy that he almost jumped up. Wow, wow, wow! Thats great! I can now be a soldier. Ill be a soldier with guns!! Shao Yibai shook his head and said with a smile, Dont be too happy so soon! Shu Qingdai could not believe that she could join the army. There were so many people in this world who could not be trusted, but the big brother in front of her made her feel rest assured. However, she could never say that she was a woman now. If she were to say it, would he chase her away? Why would a special soldier team that consisted entirely of men bring along a female soldier? What do you need for the political review? Shu Qingdai thought that if he wanted identifications or a household registration book, she would not be able to hide her gender any longer. Could it be that you both are orphans? Shao Yibai asked casually. Shu Qingdai thought for a moment and nodded. Yes! I dont have any documents! But you both are in your teens, its impossible that you dont know your hometown or your home address! It was reasonable to say that adults, even as orphans, should at least have an identification card and a bank ount. We were both born in the mountains. We had never even left the ravine before this. The ce we live is an illegal housing area. There are so many houses in the mountains that do not have a registration... Shu Qingdai was afraid that Shao Yibai would find her biological parents, so in any case, she had to insist that she had nothing. It was true that she had nothing. Her parents love for her and the talk about ethics had turned into 10,000 yuan and disappeared without a trace a long time ago. Shao Yibai sighed and pulled on the cor of his military outfit. He said, Then Ill send in both of your documents using the address of your illegal households. Both of you are in a special situation! The two of them exchanged a look. They were so happy they felt as if their hearts had been squeezed tightly. Shao Yibais mission had failed since he did not catch the drug dealers. However, he did eliminate a human trafficking group and was given two subordinates. He brought the two of them to Yan State which was the nearest city from where they were. Shao Yibai bought them clothes and gave them a haircut. They were nning to go to a sauna together, but Shu Qingdai was somehow frightened by the idea and refused to go right away. Shao Yibai did not force her and returned to the base troops with the two of them. Shao Yibai did not bring too many people with him, so more than half of the soldiers in the military camps were local soldiers. Shao Yibai himself was considered a form of reinforcement, and he had to return to the Capital City after a while. He came all the way here this time purely for the sake of excitement. Someone of his status did not need to do this at all. There were too many military ranks that the young sons of politicians could get their hands on in an era as peaceful as this. Some of them did not need to work hard at all. All they need to do was to train for a few years and then they would be promoted to the military padre. Nevertheless, he had chosen to be a Special Forces soldier. Yan State often received missions from the border. When Shao Yibai heard that they had such reinforcement missions here, he had secretly applied to join behind Old Master Shaos back. * After entering the army, his life had be simple yet refreshing, even a little exciting! Shu Qingdais height actually did not meet the recruiting requirement. Tian Qi was a little easier since his height was just around the minimum requirement. Even so, he was too thin, so he had begun to eat as much as he could to increase his weight after joining the army a few days ago. After everyone had gotten familiar with each other, they started calling Shu Qingdai, Xiaodai. Even she herself almost forgot that her actual name was Shu Qingcheng! One smile from her could overthrow a city and yet another smile could overthrow a country. [TN: A Chinese idiom to describe a beautiful woman who is capable of causing the downfall of a city.] She was fitting for the name. [TN: Shu Qingchengs name sounds simr to the Chinese idiom mentioned above.] A few years of hard work did not make her look worn out. It made her look healthier instead. That was the benefit of youth! Chapter 359 - A House Full of Walking Hormones...

Chapter 359: A House Full of Walking Hormones...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Since the arrival of Su Qingcheng, life in this dull and boring military camp had suddenly be vibrant and alive. Su Qingcheng loved to smile. Her eyes would curve and be filled with tenderness. Her skin that was fair from the inside and out was so extremely soft to the touch. Everyone called her Xiaodai affectionately. They liked to tease her and bully her by asking her to help and wash their smelly socks. As her skin was so fair to the point it almost looked translucent, those soldiers who were older than her would sometimes pinch her cheeks. How nice would it be if theres a girl with such fair and beautiful skin! Its such a waste for you to have it. We could only pinch your face! Su Qingcheng knew that everyone was treating her like a little brother and joking with her, so she took no offense. Tian Qi oftenined, Were all doing the same routine, but why am I so dark? Aftering to the military camp for more than a month, Tian Qi seeded in transforming into a ck fatty from a ck skinny dude. His skin was so dark it had shone brightly in the sunlight. He had also built up tons of muscles. He was literally ck and tough. Su Qingcheng could not help butugh. The ultraviolet rays in Yun Nan is naturally strong in the first ce. I was born in Si Chuan though! Of course, there was another reason for it which was the fact that she was a girl... She had to continue to keep this a secret since she was afraid that she would be forced to leave the military camp because of her gender. Shao Yibai was rather sloppy in this respect, so he did not realize it at all. If he were to observe carefully, he would have noticed it. At least, he would have observed that Su Chengcheng had never taken a shower with them. This was the case every time. Su Qingcheng would only go to the bathhouse to wash up after everyone had gone back to rest, and every time the door on the inside and outside would be locked securely. Additionally, although she was thin, the pectoral muscles on her chest were not small. Although Su Qingcheng had threeyers of chest strap wrapped around her breast, it had proved to be a hassle to masquerade as a man with that size of hers... However, this point did not ur to Shao Yibai at all. The weather had turned cold inte September. The smell of the autumn wind made people feel excited. Shao Yibais troops had been stationed in Yan Zhou for several months now. They had gone through mission after mission. The training was also tough. Weight-bearing running, exposure-endurance body training, target shooting, swimming, 25km off-road marching with 30kg of weights, skydiving training, field survival training... Su Qingcheng saw Tian Qi participating in all of it. When the two of them first arrived, they were so thin. Now, he had sessfully transformed into a handsome young man with a well-built physique and firm muscle blocks. She, on the other hand, was still mingling between the canteen and dormitory, growing fairer and fairer. Su Qingcheng was really worried that one day her cheeks would be crushed between the fingers of these brothers... Finally, she could not bear it anymore and went looking for Shao Yibai for a talk. Brother... Brother Shao... Su Qingcheng did not participate in the training, hence she had no idea what Shao Yibais rank was. She could only call him Brother Shao. Whats the matter? Shao Yibai came back from the training camp and saw Su Qingcheng sitting on the steps with depression written all over her face. In regards to this little brother, Shao Yibai could not bear to let her go. After all, she was the one washing their smelly socks, uniforms, and nkets every day. Then one day, he found that his underwear had even been hand-washed by her... Shao Yibai was not into boys... Now that he had known Xiaodai for quite some time already, he actually pitied her a little. Such a tender little guy was actually a dude. Shao Yibai could not pinch her face or buttocks for no reason like the other soldiers due to his status. If she were a female... Bah! Shao Yibai, what are you thinking about with that mind of yours? Youve got a military rank and is a seniormander from the Capital City. How could you have such thoughts for a man who looks like a kitten... It must be because this area is too secluded. Ive indeed not gone out and wild for a long time... The man could not help butugh at himself. A subtle trace of wickedness lingered on his handsome features, making ones stirred at the sight of it. Brother Shao, I want to join the training too... Su Qingcheng was not a hesitant person, but she was feeling a little shy at the moment. She was aware that with this physique of hers, the chances of her getting epted was extremely low. Moreover, she would feel a kind of inexplicable guilt every time she came face to face with Shao Yibai. His identity was too noble, whereas she was just a country bumpkin... The kind of background gap caused her to have a heart that desired to approach and respect him but also made her felt supremely inferior to him. Shao Yibai regained his neither-good-nor-evil expression and chuckled softly. You want to be like Tianqi? Mm, mm! She nodded like how a chick would. Shao Yibai stared at his pink and tender face and his pair of pitch-ckrge and animated eyes. A feeling of tenderness suddenly arose in his heart. From tomorrow onwards, Ill teach youbat skills. Its absolutely useful for fighting against others and for self-defense. The special forces training isnt something you can endure for sure! Shao Yibai patted Su Qingchengs shoulder with his shovel-like big hand as he spoke. Su Qingcheng felt her shoulder burning and that her feet had sunk three inches into the ground below... She could not be bothered about the pain in her shoulder at this time though. Did Shao Yibai just promise to teach her fighting skills? Teaching her in person? Oh my, I can learn kung fu now? Thank you, Brother Shao... Su Qingcheng was so delighted that she wanted to bounce about. In fact, that was what she did, and she even hopped onto Shao Yibais back... Muacks! She nted a kiss onto the back of Shao Yibais neck... Shao Yibai was speechless. Su Qingcheng was at a loss for words. Uhm... Im just overjoyed, Brother Shao... Su Qingcheng realized that she had forgotten herself amid the excitement. She quickly jumped down from Shao Yibais back and tidied her clothes. Her tiny face was burning hot, and the tinge of redness on it was seductive! Shao Yibai touched the spot that she had kissed on the back of his neck and felt a throbbing heat there. There was an inexplicable kind of feeling. Was he just kissed by a dude? What a f*cking sensation that was! Shao Yibai coughed ufortably. Although he was not as serious as the other military officers, he would also fool around in private in the military camp, get wild and unruly. His level of indulgence would even surpass the rest, so his subordinates feared and loved him at the same time. Like a moon that was surrounded by a myriad of stars, this arrogant man was a revered leader, and he had an excellent family background and upbringing. He was like the devil in training sessions, while he was their leader in private. Everyone would dally with him on and off, but being kissed by his men, this was a first... Your... Your clothes seem to be too small for you... Your belly is always exposed. The next time when you collect a new shirt, ask for a bigger size... Shao Yibai pointed at Su Qingchengs shirt and said quietly in order to alleviate the embarrassment and change the topic. Su Qingcheng looked down. She gave a shout, covered her chest and ran away, leaving Shao Yibai alone and stunned. He wondered if this little fellow was sick in his head. The shirt might have been smaller, but what was there to be excited about? Su Chengcheng cursed herself for being stupid as she ran! Damn. She had forgotten to wear her chest strap. No wonder Shao Yibai thought that the front of her shirt was too short... She had even jumped on his back just now. Did she want to die?! Su Qingcheng covered her face in embarrassment and could not bring herself to see anyone. It was just her bad luck that the team had juste back from their training when she had run all the way to the dormitory. Everyone was exhausted after the day. Each of them took off their shirt and was naked for the top half of their bodies. Wearing only underwear, they brought their toiletries to the shower. Su Qingcheng usually would avoid this moment deliberately by hiding either in the canteen or somewhere around the training ground. She had gotten agitated and forgotten all about this today. She had run into the dormitory straight away... Oh man, this was a house full of walking hormones... Chapter 360 - Dilly-dallying Like A Lady

Chapter 360: Dilly-dallying Like A Lady

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng had no choice but to admit that her life in the military camp was such an abyss of misery. If one did not have any self-control when faced with these muscr machos who would frequently make a show of their masculinity, one would probably have a ruptured vein sooner orter. Fortunately, her mind was pure and simple, so she did not think much about things like that. Truth to be told, she had made her own ns in her heart. The experience of being trafficked twice made her feel a little fearful of the outside world. If she learned kung fu, then she would not need to be afraid of being bullied if she were to venture outter. That was why she was willing to do anything to cling to Shao Yibai! As for the reason for wearing mens clothing, one was to get through all of this easily and gain Shao Yibais trust so that she could obtain the opportunity to learn kung fu. Secondly, her looks were something she should be worried about. Even though she was masquerading as a boy, she was still pinched by others at the cheeks and butt all the time. If she were to walk around as a female, she could not imagine how much trouble would arise. Wait until after she had learned kungfu, things would be different then. She could protect herself by then and would not have to worry about being pounced on by any men... Perhaps, if she chanced upon someone she liked, she could pounce on him instead? Souga (TN: a Japanese term which means so, thats what it is.)! Su Qingcheng worked out her ns and found herself anticipating whatever her future held for her. The next day, Su Qingcheng was already dressed neatly and waiting in front of his dormitory before Shao Yibai hade back from his morning training. Out of sheer boredom, she sat down on the steps and fixed her eyes at the training ground not far away, watching those hormones doing their weight-bearing running while sweating. She saw Shao Yibais gorgeous frame from the back. Even in the midst of so many handsome men, he was still as outstanding as ever. Su Qingcheng blushed a little when she recalled yesterdays gaffe... Hey! What are you thinking about? When Tian Qi returned from the morning training, he saw Su Qingcheng sitting on the steps daydreaming, so he patted her on the shoulder. No...nothing! Su Qingcheng was waiting for Shao Yibai. When Shao Yibai had finished his breakfast after the morning training, he would be able to teach her king fu then. Su Qingcheng did not want everyone to know about it. Maybe it was because of her guilty conscience! She wanted to spend time with Shao Yibai alone. At least, her stupid side would only be seen by him. When Shao Yibai came back, he saw Su Qingcheng looking at himself with her adorablerge eyes. The striking man retrieved a white towel from the towel rack to wipe his sweat and said, Go have your breakfast. Ill take you to thebat hall after that! Su Qingcheng gorged herself on the food. After having her fill, she did not help Master Zhou and the rest to clean up the dishes as she usually did but ran off in the direction of thebat hall. Yan Zhou was, after all, not a big city. The facilities here were rtively simple. Thebat hall here was only built after Shao Yibai went and applied for funding. There were two floors to the hall. On the first floor was a small and standardizedpetitive performance stage while the second floor was mainly used as the grandstand. Usually, allbat performances orpetitions in the troops would happen here. After taking a shower, the man changed into a light camouge suit andbat boots. Shao Yibai could always switch easily between his good and evil charming aura. Combat itself is an ancient skill. Its a skill because its purpose is contrary to the purpose of most sports. Before the start of a match in Taekwondo, both parties will greet each other by bowing; in fencing, both parties would greet each other with their sword before attacking... Shao Yibai first briefed Su Qingcheng on some basic knowledge. The little girls education level was not high. However, she was rather smart during her schooling days. If not for her familys poverty and miserable lifes journey, she would have had prospered well academically. Her beautiful and lively eyes were fixed on Shao Yibai who was standing opposite of her. She listened carefully to the mans charming and maic voice, feeling both envious and jealous. One really could notpare ones self with others. The man in front of her was simply the darling of the creator. He was excellent in whichever aspect one looked atappearance, education, and family background. How lucky he was to also be born with such handsome looks at the same time. He attempted a few demonstrations while briefing Su Qingcheng. What Ive told you just now only apply topetitions and performances. Hmm, that is to say, theyre all useless in real life! Su Qingcheng was speechless. Ah... Damn, what was the point of telling her when there was no use to it... Therere many types ofbat. Regardless of the variety, defeating your opponent in the quickest, ruthless, and most efficient manner is the basic requirement for fighters. Hence, Ill be teaching you actualbat skills. Your attacks must be steady, precise, and ruthless. Your goal is to defeat your opponent. You could even use crafty methods... The man smiled. For example, Monkey Stealing Peaches (TN: a shady trick that involves the grabbing of a mans crotch). If this trick could be executed, theres no need to be polite with the other party! Su Qingcheng had no words for that. Shao Yibai watched Su Qingchengs face turned from white to pink. A kind of inexplicable shyness could be seen from her face, and he sighed in his heart that such a fellow was no better than those who did not have any peaches in their pants... Shao Yibai did not teach her any moves, but he had her underwent a series of physical training the whole morning. . Frog jump, push-ups, sit-ups, handstand walking... Whenever she did not do well, Shao Yibai would kick her in her ass... She gritted her teeth in pain andmented in her heart. All the other big brothers liked her little ass. He could let it go when they tried to pinch it a few times, but he never f*cking pinch. He just kicked instead! No wonder those soldiers who had trained under him called him the Great Devil behind his back. They both loved and hated him at the same time. He would really show nopassion whatsoever when he was strict. Almost half of the soldiers in the camp had been hit by him. In the end, the training ended with Su Qingcheng lying exhaustedly face down in thepetition hall. Your physicality is extremely weak! Shao Yibaimented with a frown when he saw Su Qingcheng lying on the ground like a dead cat without moving at all. Su Qingcheng quietly greeted his entire family in his heart (TN: greeting ones family is a derogatory phrase for cursing the other partys family members). For four hours straight, she was tormented non-stop, and still, heined that she was not persistent enough. Did he have any humanity in him? However, she did notin. After all, learning kung fu was what she had wanted. Do you need me to carry you to lunch ? Shao Yibai knelt down to pull Su Qingcheng up from the ground as he spoke. Her legs were indeed feeble, and she was dizzy from hunger. Would it not be too shameful though if she were to let Shao Yibai carry her to the canteen? I... I can go by myself... Su Qingcheng gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but the frog-jumps just now had caused her legs to be so sore that no strength was left in them. She flopped to the ground right away. She nced embarrassingly at the man who was standing beside her with his arms on his waist. Her face flushed red instantly. Youre dilly-dallying just like ady! Shao Yibai chided. He suddenly tugged her arms and pulled her up from behind. Holding her two arms, he carried her on his back. Su Qingcheng muttered, Brother Shao, I... I can walk... She struggled toe down, but Shao Yibais face turned cold. He said, Dont be stubborn! Well continue training in the afternoon after we had lunch! Su Qingcheng was at a loss for words. Her fragile life demanded an exnation to all this suffering! Chapter 361 - I Keep Having All Kinds of Whimsy Thoughts for a Man Recently

Chapter 361: I Keep Having All Kinds of Whimsy Thoughts for a Man Recently

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She wrapped her two slender legs around the mans waist. Her hand embraced his neck from behind, and she buried her head in the spot beside his neck. He was not sweating at all, but she had begun perspiring all over. The scent of the shampoo on his body mixed with the odor of male hormones were wafting into her nostrils and invading her olfactory senses! The mans voice was sonorous and hoarse with a bit of maic sense. He remarked, Xiaodai, youre not more than 100 pounds, I suppose? With this physique of yours, youre no different from a woman... Su Qingchengs face flushed red when she heard him. His seemingly regretful tone caused this ignorant young girl who had been mingling amid various kinds of hormonal tough guys every day to feel a strange tremor in her heart. She had not fallen in love before. In her secluded past life, she had notmunicated with any men other than her brothers at home. Hence, when she first came to the military camp, she only regarded those studmuffins as her own brothers. Those soldiers would make obscene jokes in the dormitory. She wouldugh along with them even when she could not understand some of them. Even if she got the joke, she would not shy away from it. She was so deeply engrossed in the character she had to y that she had almost forgotten she was a girl... However, the kind of intense tremors felt within her soul would cause her to blush easily and swelter whenever she met Shao Yibai. She even felt the impulse to avoid him, but somewhere in her heart also yearned secretly toe into contact with him. Many yearster, when Su Qingcheng recalled her days in Yan Zhou, only then did she realize that that kind of feeling was known as having a crush. A young girls first love had just bloomed. Her gray and blurry life had been invaded by a man whose body radiated golden light. He had torn open her dark heart and invited himself in airily! He was made of sunshine, so much so that she could not ignore his existence. He was crude in most matters but refined in some. His seemingly aggressive and temperamental manner of going about things actually blended perfectly well with the expensive air of a well-bred gentlemaning off from him. Su Qingcheng ced her face on Shao Yibais back and could not suppress the delight in her heart. She was enjoying the feeling ofing into contact with him. Suddenly, a naive voice sounded from behind her back, and what followed was a pat on her buttocks. Xiaodai, whats up with you? You even dare to have our boss carry you over? Tian Qi asked gleefully as he approached. D*mn your sister! My ass! Could it be simply hit by anyone? Brother Shao, please let me down... Su Qingcheng saw that there were more and more people mingling around the canteen. She thought that it would not be a good idea for Shao Yibai to continue carrying her, so she struggled to jump down. Shao Yibai did not stop her. He dropped her down from his back and cast a look at Tian Qi. These two fellows hade to the military camp together. If one were topare the both of them side by side now, Tian Qi had gone through enough training and became darker and tougher just like a rock while Xiaodai was still fair and tender, charming like a bulrush. Shao Yibais imagined Su Qingcheng having trained into Tian Qis physique and actually felt a great sense of reluctance in his heart to let it happen. This was also why he had chosen to train her in the indoor arena. He had his own selfish motive for that. He did not wish for this fair and tender fellow to be a rough guy like Tian Qi... How f*cking ugly! Shao Yibai said without rhyme or reason. The handsome man turned to leave and headed to the canteen area that was designated for sergeants. Tian Qi was holding a half-eaten bun in his hand and was about to stuff it into his mouth. When he heard Shao Yibais remark before thetter left, he looked left and right and found that there was no one else present but Su Qingcheng and himself. Shao Yibai could not be talking about Xiaodai, then he must be referring to himself? Waa~ Mom, he swore at me!! How devastating! ... The days Su Qingcheng spent learning kung fu with Shao Yibai past happily. . She made rapid progress. Shao Yibai eximed that although she looked weak, there was an air of arrogance in her bones. She was tough, and he now had a whole new level of respect for her. After two consecutive months of physical training, she had now developed V-line and toned abs. She had massive improvements in leaping, stretching and other aspects of physical fitness. There was even a change in the way she carried herself. She had grown from the weak and thin little girl she once was and had be fitter and much more confident. Shao Yibai felt sentimental about her change and was delighted to have witnessed it as well. He was d that she had finally developed some machoness... Shao Yibaisbat technique was very famous in the Capital City. Plus, he liked to delve into the art of it. He had incorporated his own understanding and improvisation into his movements and tactics. In the closebat club in Country Z, Shao Yibai had been on the top ten list all year long. One could envision how quick Su Qingcheng, who had been trained under him, could master the various skills of a melee attack. The way Su Qingcheng addressed Shao Yibai had also changed from Brother Shao to Master. Master, let me help you get your meal... Master, let me give you two more pieces of meat... Master, I want to join you all in the next field survival training... Master... Wukong, can I have some peace and quiet for a while? 1 Shao Yibai did not expect the fair-skin boy who was once shy and quiet could be such a chatterbox! Su Qingcheng, though being reprimanded, was smiling so big her eyes curved. Her two shallow dimples almost made Shao Yibai fell into a daze staring at them. Damn! It must be because he had not gone out and let loose for a long time. That was why he would constantly have some whimsy thoughts for a boy! Shao Yibai could not find a suitable reason to convince himself. The time he had spent with Xiaodai had indeed felt fleeting. So much so that every week he went for the field survival training, he would keep thinking of him who had been left behind! How could this be? Shao Yibai studied in the military academy, and the people he had encountered there were mostly men. A lot of them were tough guys as well. Seeing such a soft and cute guy like Xiaodai was also a first for him. He began to worry whether this abnormal reaction of his meant that he was to take the route of a homosexual? Shao Yibai had many friends since he was young, but his most trusted ymate was his older cousin brother. After eating, Shao Yibai returned to the camp office and gave Yuan Xuan a call. Between them was a 7-hour time difference, and Yuan Xuan was still asleep. Yuan Xuan was somewhat confused when he saw Shao Yibais number. Youre at the military area. Arent you not allowed to use your mobile phone? Yuan Xuans sweet dreams were disturbed, so the usually modest gentleman was slightly annoyed. Yuan Xuan, I have something to tell you! Shao Yibais tone sounded serious. His character was different from Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan could have a secret buried deep in his heart for more than ten years. He could love someone and protect her quietly by the side. On the other hand, Shao Yibai was someone who frankly. Mr Shao, speak up! The tone of the man eased down. The early morning in the UK was infused with mist, and dew was falling from the leaves of the guava tree in front of the window onto the ground. Yuan Xuan looked at the clock on the wall. Since he had already woken up, he might as well listen to Shao Yibais distress. Perhaps, his happiness could be built on Shap Yibais misery... Souga! What a bad friend he was indeed! I keep having all kinds of whimsy thoughts for a man recently... As Shao Yibai said, he looked through the office window and saw Su Qingcheng holding the water hose from the camp garden. She was aiming at Tian Qi and had made him soaking wet while she only giggled mischievously! Chapter 362 - Can You Not Look at Me with Such a Dumb Face?

Chapter 362: Can You Not Look at Me with Such a Dumb Face?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Xuan heard Shao Yibais statement, he could not help but be stunned. Shao Yibai had lived an unfettered life since young. With the love his parents hadvished on him, coupled with his perfect family environment and his family background, this had led him to develop a fearless character. The traces of the young man of aristocratic families who had been spoiledconceited and arrogant, were etched in his bones. Even so, he could not get rid of the seal and restraint that came with his birth status. If he had liked men, he would definitely be rejected by the people in his circle. This was probably the reason why Shao Yibai was distressed. Do you really like men? Yuan Xuan asked ording to his understanding. Yuan Xuan sat by the window. In the old building, the lights were dim, and the atmosphere was tranquil. The man was fiddling with a crystal photo frame on the table, and the woman in the photo was Mu Chenyan. Im not sure either! This was the first time Shao Yibai felt so helpless. His sullen voice sounded, To be exact, I was hoping hes a woman... Then, do you or do you not like him? Yuan Xuan could not understand what Shao Yibai had meant, but he knew that it could not be a simple matter if it could trouble this bandit-like warrior. Shao Yibai simply recounted what had happened recently. From the rescue of the two little demons to the moments spent with Su Qingcheng, and how his rtionship with her changed from being a savior to her master. In the end, he pinched the spot between his eyebrows and queried, Could it be that because I havent been dating for a long time, and I havent touched any woman in the luded circle of mine, so theres now a problem with my physiological needs? If you like the person, why do you care whether hes a male or female? Yuan Xuan smirked. At least, that was how it was with him. Why was there a need to bother about her identity as long as he liked her? The man gazed at Mu Chenyan in the photo frame. But I like women! Shao Yibai spat in dissatisfaction. Then, are you thinking of asking that little fellow to undergo a sex reassignment surgery to satisfy you? Yuan Xuan smiled inly and asked. The sky was brightening up. He always had trouble sleeping at night. Since Shao Yibais distress had not been resolved, his ns on catching up with his sleep could not be implemented. What nonsense. Shao Yibai was somewhat depressed. Although Xiaodai was forlorn, it did not mean that she was someone without a mind of her own and was one to be shoved about by others. On the contrary, Su Qingcheng was very stubborn, and there was a kind of unyielding air deep within her which could be seen during those training sessions he had with her. It even made him have a whole new level of respect for her. Then, stay away from that little guy. After a while, if those absurd ideas still remain when the sensation of novelty is over, then why care about whether hes a male or woman? Just include her into your harem! Shao Yibai began to seriously consider Yuan Xuans proposal when he hang up the call. He reasoned that he just feltfortable when he was with Xiaodai, but how could that be the determining factor that he liked him? He might just be overthinking! ... Captain Shao, about the overseas capture mission this time, I want in too... Tian Qi had been pestering Shao Yibai for two days about this. Yan Zhou was located at the border, so it was not and of peace. On top of that, the harsh environments with the batches of garrison troops had been changed one after another. Shao Yibais elite special forces were considered one of the troops that had been stationed here for a rtively long time. They had coborated with the localrades the most too. This time, they had received orders from their superiors to join hands with theirrades at the Yun Nan-Burma border to ambush a group of drug dealers hiding in the jungle. His heart became restless when Tian Qi first got hold of the news. He had not participated in any actual mission. Back then, he had dreamt of putting on a military uniform, having his tummy filled, and carrying a gun to war. Two of them had been fulfilled, and now thest wish remained to be realized through actualbat. Shao Yibai was hesitant. Tian Qis closebat skill, shooting skill, and physical strength had improved rapidly. He even caught up with the veterans who had been training for several years under Shao Yibai, but he still did not want to take him along. After all, such actualbat was actually very dangerous. It was equal to living life on the edge and hanging his life hang on a thread. Captain Shao, if you dont bring Tian Qi along, he wont be ready for war when he really has to go on the battlefield next time. Liu Tong, the staff officer, pleaded for Tian Qi. Shao Yibai thought about it for a while. There were indeed not as many people who hade with him this time. It would be extremely advantageous to have an additional elite infantry in action in this kind of jungle warfare. Hence, Tian Qi won himself the opportunity to go into battle for the first time. The beaming Tian Qi went to organize his equipment immediately. The helicopters that were to pick them up were on standby at the military airport not far away. Su Qingcheng panic when she got hold of the news. Now even Tian Qi had joined the battle, but she was to remain here as a logistics security personnel? Im going too! Su Qingchengs little hand grabbed Shao Yibais armor bag. Biting her lip, she stopped talking after spitting those three words. She was determined to express her firm desire to go along. Shao Yibais lips twitched and was on the verge of anger. It was a perilous ce. Was she going there to die? However, seeing the pitiful face on Xiaodai, the fire that he could easily vent on others somehow could not be spewed out when the person was him. You cant even fire a gun. Are you going there to be a target? Whats more, taking someone like you along who cant even protect yourself would only cause us trouble and not be of any help. I dont have time to keep an eye on you! When Shao Yibai made those remarks, Su Qingchengs face paled, but she was still unwilling to resign. Furthermore, what are you pestering me non-stop? Ive already taught you kung fu, but with your physical quality, you cant make it into the special forces. Later on, Ill have the team send you to the military school to study. Dont keep following me around! Shao Yibais voice was not loud, but he did mock Su Qingcheng mercilessly, wanting to drive her away... He knew that she had great pride deep within her. If he did not give her a blow, she might stick onto him forever. Although ridiculing her was somewhat ruthless, it was better than having her life sacrificed. Sure enough, Su Qingchengs hands loosened from the backpack, and her eyes reddened. Liu Tong lowered his head. Having been around Shao Yibais side for many years and obtaining the position of a staff instructor, he had long since possessed the skill of taking notice of every movement or change of expression. He saw the expression on Su Qingchengs face was not only sad, but there was also disappointment and devastation. There was even an inexplicable tremor of surprise... Liu Tong tugged at Shao Yibais sleeves. Captain Shao... Shao Yibai was also aware that what he had said was very hurtful and harsh. However, Xiaodai would make him unable to focus on the task at hand, so he could never take her with him. That was for sure. ... The troop set out with three military helicopters letting out booming roars and cutting through the sky. The turbulent wind stirred up by the propellers ruffled Su Qingchengs hair. She tilted her head up the sky and stared at the helicopters flying farther and farther away... ... This mission turned out to be harder than everyone had expected. This tropical monsoon climate zone with an average annual temperature of 28 degrees had some ushered in a storm, and raining here was equivalent to the winter season. Whether it was the special forces or the local anti-drug team agents, both parties had spent a lot of mental and physical energy in this confrontation having contended with the drug traffickers who were hiding in the dense forest for almost a week. Joining in onbat that went on for a long time could get one exhausted easily. For the elite special forces whose strength was in a quick and precise battle, this was their biggest bug. ... After half a month... There was finally good news from the frontline. Those drug traffickers who had run away were all arrested in a siege battle. Just as Su Qingcheng thought that Tian Qi, Shao Yibai and the rest wereing back, the Yan Zhou garrison station suddenly needed another group of soldiers. Su Qingcheng could not make sense of it. They were supposed to return, so why did this side have to send people over? Su Qingcheng was worried. She ran to catch hold of Zhang Han before thest batch of rescue team left. Zhang Han, the garrisonmander of Yan Zhou, knew Su Qingcheng. He also knew that she was the little kid who Shao Yibai had rescued. He could not hide the news anymore. Little Su, theres unfortunate news... Zhang Han saw as Su Qingchengs face grown pale, and he suddenly could not bear to continue. Has something... something happened to Brother Shao? The first thing Su Qingcheng thought to ask was that. Her eyes reddened and her fingertips trembled. She forced herself to calm down as she stared at Zhang Han. Dont panic! Zhang Han now had a headache. He did not know how to pacify those in the Capital City yet, and there was already this other trouble right in front of him. While they were carrying out the mission, the small team led by Captain Shao had a fierce confrontation with the other party during the process of besieging. Youre also aware that the trees in the mountains are concentrated and tall. Captain Shao and the others were separated from one another, and we still cant find them yet. The troop sent over this time is to enter and search the mountain... Im going too! The rim of Su Qingchengs eyes was crimson in color. What she made was a statement rather than a plea. Please make the necessary arrangement for a spot for me on the helicopter for this round of dispatch! Su Qingcheng returned to the camp dormitory to pack up her his own field survival kit upon finishing her order. Zhang Han was shocked by her behavior just now. After all, he had been in the army for more than ten years, and he had not ordered his men around as such. If it was not for the special forces sent by the Capital City camping at his territory, he would be the boss here! Shao Yibai was the bandit leader who did not y his cards ording tomon sense. The apprentice he was training also had the same temperament as him... ... Su Qingcheng had not participated in any actual field survival training before. Fortunately, the ce where she was born was full of mountains. The experience she had while growing up in the mountains for so many years had made her unafraid of such difficulty. She had changed into a tight-fitting camouge suit and brought along the field survival gear she thought she could use. Before this, Tian Qi would recount his experience to her every time he came back from his field survival training. Su Qingcheng would listen to his experience and pick up a few things here and there at the same time. She did not expect that the knowledge woulde in handy this time. However, she would rather not use that knowledge than to lose contact with Shao Yibai. ... Yan Zhou was very close to Wu Yuan. When they had arrived in Wu Yuan County, the people in the army did not stop to rest for a moment. They entered the mountain right away. In addition to the people brought by Shao Yibai and the men sent by the local police station, coupled with the newest batch including Su Qingcheng, there were more than 500 people sweeping the mountain and forest for Shao Yibai and his team members. On the second day of entering the mountain, three soldiers who had lost contact with Shao Yibai were found. Their vital signs were good even though they were injured. This made Su Qingcheng both happy and anxious. Shao Yibai must be alive! Where was he then? Su Qingcheng waited in anxiety, anticipation, and panic. She worked tirelessly during the search hours. She did not speak or rest, even to the extent of not eating nor drinking. She did not feel hungry at all. She never knew she could care about a person this much. Deep in the jungle, there were a lot of gullies. On the third day of entering the mountain, Su Qingcheng finally fell into a ravine! She grabbed onto the branches and leaves to stop herself from sliding down too fast. Otherwise, just the branches on both sides of the ravine alone would break her fine and tender skin. I havent saved anyone, yet Ive gotten myself into danger! Su Qingcheng was extremely annoyed that she wanted to swear at her mom, but when she thought about it, she did not even have a mother, so what was there to curse about? Fortunately, the backpack was still strapped on her back, and there were water and food as well as a wireless inte. Su Qingcheng let out a long sigh of relief and could not be bothered about her bleeding arm for now. She gripped the branches of the vines to prevent herself from sliding further down the ravine and took out the carabiner lock from her backpack with another hand. Using only one hand to support herself had depleted her energy pretty quickly, and the slippery slope made her slide down a dozen meters. Damn. Do the heavens want me dead? Even if Im to die, at least let me find Shao Yibai first... I... havent told him that... I like him... Su Qingcheng clutched onto the vines,id on the slippery slope and cried. After so many days, she finally understood one thing. The reason for the blushing of her face and her rapid heartbeat whenever she was with Shao Yibai was because he had a ce in her heart. Just when she made sense of this fact though, she had to face the pain of losing Shao Yibai. When she was abandoned by her parents, trafficked twice, beaten, chided, ridiculed, and nearly vited, she did not feel such agony as she did now nor had she wept out loud. Right now though, she really wanted to argue with the heavens. What was the reason for hurling so many miserable events at her? Why was she so unfavored? Who? Whos up there... Suddenly, a weak voice traveled from the shadows at the bottom of the slope. Even though the person with the hoarse voice sounded injured, one could still feel the masculinity of a man from it. Shao Yibai?? Is it you? Su Qingcheng sobbed and shouted. The woman who was just screaming about how unjust the heavens was was instantly filled with gratitude toward the heavens! How fortunate was her to have slipped down this slope! Haha, its me... What were you ranting crazily about? Shao Yibai said whileughing. Where are you? Howe I cant see you? Su Qingcheng could sense the weakness in his voice. Indeed, he had lost contact with them for three days, and he probably had nothing to eat all this time. Even a tough guy could die of hunger. Su Qingcheng followed the source of his voice and moved over slowly by clutching onto the vines. A man was lying on a slightly tter tform down the slope. Since he was wearing a military green camouge uniform, one could not really find him if they did not look carefully. Master... It really is you! Su Qingcheng cried and rushed over to him. Hugging the wounded man and shuddering, she cried until she was exhausted. Shao Yibais expression was of a disgusted one. He moved his limbs which had suffered bone fractures on many parts and said, Can you not look at me with such a dumb face? Im hungry and would like to have some food. Did you bring any? Even when the handsome man was in danger, he was still wearing that proud and uninhibited expression. His smile was still the same carefree smile as always. He smirked as he looked at Su Qingcheng, not wanting her to think that he was at the brink of death! Nevertheless, only heavens knew how much pain he was in! He had been stuck here for three days. If not for the multiple fractures on his body, he could definitely have climbed up here with his skills. Seeing that he still had the mood to make jokes, Su Qingcheng broke intoughter. She took out the vacuum packed biscuits and mineral water from her backpack immediately. How do you feel? When Su Qingcheng saw Shao Yibai had only one small bite of the biscuit but drank lots of water, she thought that his internal organs were injured and could not help but get nervous. Im fine! There were a few scratches on Shao Yibais face, but he looked really charming from a certain angle. . Cant eat too much. Im not sure if Ill die. If I do, I cant be wasting your food. You have to wait here for the rescue... Su Qingcheng mped her hand over his mouth and cried, I wont let you die... If you die, Im not going to continue living in this world... This silly woman! The situation had not taken a turn for the worse, but she was already thinking of dying for love! Shao Yibai looked at him and sneered sinisterly, What did you shout at the heavens halfway down the slope just now? Chapter 363 - Master, Did You Knock Your Head Too Hard?

Chapter 363: Master, Did You Knock Your Head Too Hard?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai looked at his crying manner, and it moved the softest part of his heart. The man sneered sinisterly, Just now, what did you shout at the heavens halfway down the slope? Su Qingcheng was stunned. For a moment, she could not recall which sentence he meant. Shao Yibai thought she was pretending to be confused and continued to prompt, You said that you wanted to tell me something? Su Qingcheng suddenly remembered. She had said that she liked Shao Yibai earlier on... I... I didnt say anything... Coming face to face with the person concerned at this moment, Su Qingcheng denied in shock. Her face flushed red as she avoided Shao Yibais burning gaze. With her current identity and status, how could she admit that she liked Shao Yibai? Earlier on, it was only because her life was hanging by a thread, so she vented her resentments to the heavens. Now that she had found Shao Yibai, all thoseints had turned into gratitude. Her solitary courage had dissipated, and she was now a coward! In the current life and death situation, how could Shao Yibai still have the mood to ask that? Seriously! She was really dumbfounded at him! Shao Yibai did not believe her. He smiled and continued asking, The slope is open and wide. Ive heard everything! Oh no, this... Su Qingcheng was so nervous that she moved her body to one side and mumbled, What did you hear? I didnt... say anything... Shao Yibai sighed and straightened out his body. The slow and deliberate movement rmed Su Qingcheng as she thought he was going to die... In actual fact, Shao Yibais mind and body just felt rxed. In the tens of hours of being trapped here, apart from his parents and friends, the thoughts that went through his head the most were all about Xiaodai. He had many soldiers under him, many of whom they had been through life and death together, but he did not think that much about them. Even if he died, those people would still live well. There was no need for him to be concern of them. However, Xiaodai was different. He clearly remembered when their training was over one day, Shao Yibai came out of the training hall with Xiaodai on his back as usual. He lied on his back and said affectionately. Master, youre the best man in the world! I dont trust anyone, but I trust you the most... (Speaking of which, dear Su Xiaodai, your act of lying on Mr Shaos back at every turn gives us reason to doubt your motive, haha...) Shao Yibai knew that the experience of he being trafficked caused him to have an instinctive sense of rejection to the outside world. That was why Shao Yibai gave some thoughts to sending Xiaodai to school. With kung fu and education, it would be easier for him to live in the world. He would also get to build a strong inner world and integrate into the normal life... However, if he were to die, what would happen to Xiaodai? As Shao Yibai pondered the matter, a surge of gratitude rose from his heart. Regardless of whether he could make it out of here alive, being able to see this person whom he missed very much at the final moments of his life, he had to say that he was extremely lucky. Xiaodai! Hmm? Su Qingcheng was retrieving the wireless inte equipment from her bag to begin adjusting the frequency. Hence, though Shao Yibai was speaking to her, she answered him absent-mindedly. If I die here... No nonsense! Su Qingcheng put down the equipment and was somewhat annoyed. Her eyes reddened. If she was not aware of the multiple fractures on Shao Yibai, she really wanted to give him a few kicks. I just said if... Shao Yibai continued saying, and a warm smile emerged on his charming face. There are no ifs! Su Qingcheng stopped him from speaking further. When you leave me in the future, you have to continue living well. Ive arranged a school for you to study. Also, when you meet... a girl you like next time... get married and have kids. You can have a good life. Dont think about bing a soldier. Youre not fit for it... The tone Shao Yibai used, as if he was saying his final words, displeased Su Qingcheng greatly. Can you not talk? Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him. Youve been trapped here for three days, yet youve not died. Do you think Ill let you die now that Ivee to you? This ce was too secluded. Su Qingcheng observed that if they were to climb up, it was not an issue given their abilities. However, Shao Yibai was seriously injured now, so the option of climbing was unrealistic. There was still no responding signal from the wireless inte. At this time, she figured she could have a good chat with Shao Yibai. Master... What? Shao Yibai was about to close his eyes when Su Qingcheng woke him up. Youre not allowed to sleep! What a mannerism of an overbearing CEO... Hehe... Shao Yibai deliberately teased him. Actually, he knew Su Qingcheng was worried that he would fall asleep. I... Ive always got something to ask you... Su Qingcheng hummed and hawed. . If you have something to say, then spit it out! Humming and hawing like a girl. You really should have your hormones checked to see whether you have problems with secreting hormones properly... Shao Yibais poisonous tongue was really ruthless. Theres no need for them to be secreted in the first ce! Su Qingchengs eyes reddened. She turned her face to one side and avoided Shao Yibais gaze. She then said with a trembling voice. From the beginning... Ive lied to all of you... I... Im actually a girl... F*ck me. What did you say... Ouch... Shao Yibai was so excited that he struggled to get up, but because of the excessive movement, he pulled the wound on his body. The pain caused by the fracture could not be bear even by a tough guy like him. Dont simply move... Su Qingcheng immediately held Shao Yibai out of fright. She did not know why Shao Yibais response to this news was this huge. Hahahahahaha... After Shao Yibaiid down and rxed, he could not help but guffawed. They were halfway down the slope of a valley, and the surrounding was open and spacious. Hisughter was magnified in this semi-enclosed space, making the atmosphere eerie. Su Qingchengs heart shuddered. She slowly asked, Master, what are youughing at? Im happy! Shao Yibai suddenly felt that his current mood was so pleasant to an extent that was beyond his imagination. Even though he was in a dangerous situation, he still thanked the heavens! Happy? Su Qingcheng initially thought that after letting this secret out, Shao Yibai would be furious at her for deceiving him and he would swear at her. However, he was happy? Yeah! Im extremely happy! Xiaodai, youre so cute. Ive been fooled by you...! Shao Yibais words were out of logic. Su Qingcheng was muddle-headed and wondered whether he was really delighted or that he was over-enraged at her... Brother Shao, I didnt deliberately lie to you... I was afraid. At that time, if I said that I was a girl, you would surely not take me to the domestic relief station. Id still have to work my way through the bottom level of society to survive, unable to protect myself... As if she was doing a self-reflection, Su Qingcheng poured out a bunch of words all of a sudden. Her eyes were red, and her expression was bitter. After she had finished, she looked up at Shao Yibai. The mans deep and narrow eyes were full of joy. There was no hint of me at all. This cause Su Qingcheng to be a little flustered. Brother Shao... Master... Is your... Did you knock your head too hard? While speaking, she reached out to touch his forehead. Chapter 364 - Relax, You Can’t Get Pregnant Just by Kissing

Chapter 364: Rx, You Cant Get Pregnant Just by Kissing

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Big Brother Shao... Master... That... Did you fall and hurt your head? She touched the mans forehead with her cool little hands as she spoke. Shao Yibai remained silent with his eyes closed. He was simply enjoying theforting feeling of being with her. Su Qingchengs pale little face was tinged with rosiness while the tip of her nose was smeared with dirt. Her adorable and clumsy appearance was unbelievably alluring. It was unfortunate that Shao Yibai was out of action now. He would have pounced on her otherwise... Was she really a woman? He was on cloud nine because the problem that been troubling him for the past few days had been resolved just like that. It would be worth it even if I died now... The man sighed in his deep voice. Shao Yibai was restless, but his expression was slowly rxing. He sighed quietly and felt very pleased. He remembered when he was first recruited into the army, when he held a gun for the first time, hen he had captured the first enemy during their mission. He also remembered the moment when he became the seniormander of Capital Citys nth special forces unit... This was exactly how he had felt in those moments he had just recalled. He was in a state ofplete bliss. He savored the familiar feeling of getting exactly what he wanted. Big Brother Shao, Big Brother Shao... Dont die... Open your eyes... Su Qingcheng obviously had no idea about what was going on with Shao Yibai. She saw his closed eyes and the smile on his lips. His body waspletely still, and she thought that he was about to draw hisst breath. An idea popped up in Shao Yibais mind. He kept his eyes closed and continued to pretend that he was dead. Shao Yibai... You cant die... Su Qingcheng became terribly anxious when she noticed that Shao Yibais eyes were still closed after she shook him twice. She propped herself up and moved a finger under his nose. She realized that his breathing was getting weaker by the second. She said with tears streaming down her face, Shao Yibai, I... Im going to perform CPR on you. Dont be afraid... The woman turned over and mbered up. She kneeled next to Shao Yibais body and reached out to undo the buttons at Shao Yibais cor. She had participated in the training activities that taught them basic skills in the army. She ced her palms together before pressing them against Shao Yibais chest to resuscitate his heart. After that, she took a deep breath and pinched Shao Yibais nose with one hand while cing her mouth directly against his lips... When their lips touched, the cool sensation made Su Qingchengs heart tremble. Mmm... Shao Yibai reached out and held Su Qingchengs face against him out of nowhere. He turned over and pressed her onto the ground. His flexible tongue had entered her mouth with impatience. She had never kissed anyone before. All she registered right now was how nk her mind was. He covered her little lips with his own again and again and inhaled her natural scent that was unique to her only. This womans body was supple and fragrant. She whimpered quietly as her body trembled from her own inexperience. She was as pitiful as a helpless kitten! Once Shao Yibai became aware of this pleasant sensation, he gradually became more forceful when he pressed against her lips. It seemed as though he wanted to swallow herpletely... Ahh... The woman resisted by letting out small voices. Theck of oxygen was making her feel as though she was being suffocated. Her little hands began to push the mans chest away in protest. Su Qingcheng did not dare to push him away with too much force since his body was injured. She could merely use her gaze to beg him to stop. Shao Yibai ravished her for another few minutes and let out a satisfied expression. He smiled silently when he saw that her lips were slightly swollen after he had sucked on them. Su Qingcheng trembled and blushed when she saw the delighted look in that mans eyes and the smile on the corners of his lips. How did they end up kissing? The plot of the story had been changed so abruptly. Her inexperienced mind could not wrap itself around this... Xiaodai, I shouldve noticed that you were a girl long ago... Shao Yibais husky voice was very seductive. His Adams apple bobbed. One could tell that he was holding himself back and trying his hardest to be rational. His voice was tinged with regret when he stroked her lips with hisrge coarse hands. He had failed to notice this despite spending several months with her. He was such an idiot! Her skin was incredibly smooth and fair, and she did not have Adams apple. She had never taken a bath with them either. How could she have been a man? However, Shao Yibai never had any feelings for her in the past because he had treated her like a little brat. He had simply taken care of her as if she was his little brother. That was how he had overlooked all these clues. When did he start having feelings for her? He could not remember. Big Brother Shao... Did we kiss? Su Qingcheng had trouble believing the fact that they had just kissed. Yes. The man answered dryly. He lowered his head and ced a gentle kiss on her lips again. Rx, you cant get pregnant just by kissing. Pregnant be damned! Su Qingcheng cursed when he heard the man said what he did. Did he think that she was an idiot? She was obviously aware ofmon physiological knowledge like this. Big Brother Shao, what Im trying to say is... I like you too! Shao Yibai instantly replied without waiting for her to ask the question. I like you very much. The rivers, mountains, and the stars in the sky are my witnesses! Su Qingcheng scanned her surroundings. She saw only rivers and mountains and could not see any stars. Did this mean that his promise was meaningless? There arent any stars... Su Qingcheng murmured as her glistening eyes twinkled. Ill make this promise again when theye out at night. It was rare for Shao Yibai tofort young women like this. He smiled as the woman blushed again while she remained underneath him. Big Brother Shao, are you going to marry me? Su Qingcheng wondered if they would be forced to get married because he had already kissed her. If that was the case, it meant that they would be pledged to each other in the future. She was too naive. She assumed that two people had to go down this path when they were in love. If Shao Yibai did not marry her, did that mean that he was just fooling around when he kissed her? Yes, I am! Shao Yibai did not hesitate at all. He did not care that he was the sessor of the Shao Family in Capital City. Shao Yibai merely felt that he was back in junior high when he fell n love for the first time. His heart raced when he stood before this adorable girl named Su Qingcheng. It felt as though his sensory organs were releasing endorphins throughout his heart and mind. More than two decades had passed, but he had never felt like this before. Perhaps it was because the environment he was brought up with that was filled with tough guys. He hardly experienced the gentle nature of kindhearted women. Su Qingcheng had stolen his heartpletely during the several months that they stayed together. He was annoyed because he thought that she was a man. Why would he still need to hesitate now? Big Brother Shao, theres something else I need to tell you... Su Qingchengs heart thumped wildly while she blushed. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and spoke. Tell me. Shao Yibai did not mind that Su Qingcheng had lied about her gender. She could tell him anything now. Im not an orphan. Actually, my father sold me off when I was little... Su Qingchengs doe-like eyes were filled with tears. So? Ie from a messed up family... Im afraid that I dont deserve you! When Su Qingcheng said this, she realized that it was not as strange as the fact that she had kissed him back just now. Why would that matter? Its fine because Ie from an excellent family! Shao Yibais opinion differed from hers. Who told you that people can only get married when they have the same social status? Id only marry a woman that I truly loved. Su Qingchengs eyes widened, and she was a little confused. She asked calmly, Well, have you ever loved someone in the past? Shao Yibai froze and rubbed the tip of his nose. Yes, I did. Su Qingcheng was slightly disappointed. Her voice quivered as she asked, Why didnt you marry her? We were still in preschool that time. Chapter 365 - Don’t Worry, I’ll Always Be Faithful to My Wife

Chapter 365: Dont Worry, Ill Always Be Faithful to My Wife

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibais feelings for her hadsted for a long time! Preschool? Su Qingcheng was amused by Shao Yibais earnestness. Were you already having indecent thoughts at such a young age? Su Qingcheng shoved Shao Yibai away to get up, but she had brushed one of the ces his bones had fractured. The man was in so much pain that he grimaced. Su Qingcheng reached out and supported Shao Yibai right away andid him gently down on the ground. She asked in a worried tone, How are you? Does it hurt a lot? It wont hurt if you kiss me. Shao Yibai could not stop himself from saying indecent things. He had never yed by the rules. He was aid-back person who did as he pleased. Now that he feltfortable, he had let himselfpletely free of any restraint. Su Qingcheng was both annoyed and embarrassed at his character. She turned away and muttered, I dont care if you die from the pain. Youve forgotten your limits! She never expected that this man could change his mannerisms so quickly. He had kicked and stomped on her during their usual training sessions without showing the slightest bit of mercy. He behaved ruthlessly and as if he was not capable of feeling any sympathy. He was kinder once their training was over and would carry her to the cafeteria for a meal. He could be said as gentle and warm at times like this. Had he already fallen in love with her then? Su Qingcheng was stunned. Damn, she was still a man then... Shao Yibai openly confessed that falling in love with her was not something that happened overnight! You have such interesting tastes when ites to romance! Su Qingcheng ruffled her messy short hair with her hands, and an impatient look appeared on her delicate face. Youre such a dangerous person. I cant believe that you fell in love with a man. Should I be worried that youll get into all sorts of trouble in the future? Dont worry, Ill always be faithful to my wife! Shao Yibai could tell exactly what Su Qingcheng was worried about. His voice was incredibly hopeful when he said, If you marry me, Ill love you so dearly as if youre the most precious thing to me! Oh, he sounded so sweet and romantic when he said these things! Su Qingcheng had never dated before. She had just turned twenty years old right after the recent Spring Festival. It was truly difficult for her to resist Shao Yibais advances. She did not know what else this man would say if they spent any more time together. Su Qingcheng mbered up and tried to use the radio inte to call theirrades again. She finally received a response this time. Although the connection was not stable, someone had already discovered that Su Qingcheng was missing. They had been using the radio inte to contact her since them. Shao Yibai would be rescued too as long as they found her. Perhaps these sloping fields were too well hidden. They had finally managed to contact someone after Shao Yibai had sworn by the great rivers and mountains and under the starry sky. Shao Yibai and Su Qingchenghad been trapped for four whole days before they were saved. Shao Yibais vital signs were still fine, but he was very weak. He was too afraid to consume most of the things around the pit of the slope since he was worried that it would affect their internal organs. The helicopter that came to rescue him and Su Qingcheng sent them to Kun Ming at once. He stayed there for recuperation for more than half a month before he was sent back to Capital City. * Capital City... Shao Yibai went to great lengths to hide this incident from the Shao Family. The military camp in Yan Zhou went to look for him first because they were too afraid to report this to his family. Shao Yibai did not inform Shu Jiaozhen about the days that he spent in Kun Ming either. He was worried that she would rush to Kun Ming right away and ruined the romantic atmosphere between him and Su Qingcheng. Her son was already an adult, but she refused to leave him alone. Shao Yibai made the arrangements to send Su Qingcheng to the police academy once he returned to Capital City. That ce would have been more suitable for Su Qingcheng than staying in the army. The woman was considerably pleased. She had settled down in a new ce, and her rtionship with Shao Yibai was progressing well. In the future, Shao Yibai would always reminisce about the sweet moments that the two of them had spent together as a couple. It was normal for people to be overwhelmed by their own emotions when they were in love. Shao Yibais fellow soldiers who were also his subordinates had noticed the changes in his behavior. They made their own assumptions to justify these changes. Some of them assumed that he had fallen and hurt his head during his previous expedition while others thought that it was caused by the air when he returned to Capital City. Meanwhile, some of them guessed that the Shao unit would be expecting good news soon... Those people had guessed correctly. Commander Shao had good news to share. He had taken the only girl in their unit under his wing now. However, Shao Yibai remembered how these men had taken advantage of Su Qingcheng while they were training in Yan Zhou. Although she was still a man at that time, that did not hide the fact that she was youthful and attractive. He felt ufortable when he recalled how they had pinched her face and squeezed her buttocks. The man decided to abuse his power to avenge her. He started to subject the soldiers to various kinds of insane training. An endless stream ofints could be heard everyone one went. Hmph! He wanted to see if they would still dare toy their hands on his woman. * Su Qingcheng finally found a ce where she felt like she belonged in when she enrolled in the police academy. She grew her hair out and wore clothes that girls usually preferred. She looked gentler and sweeter now. Shao Yibai would go and visit her during the holidays. Although they had not made any significant progress as a couple, Shao Yibais heart had started bing restless. He was truly worried that someone else would steal this beautiful woman from him if he failed to win her over first. Unfortunately, he could not do much as Su Qingcheng was somewhat conservative. She would not allow him to take the next step aside from kissing. The man constantly felt as though his body was aze with passion. He was really suffering... Shao Yibai had yet to bring Su Qingcheng back to the Shao Family for now. He originally nned to wait until their rtionship had became more stable before doing so, but he never expected that Jiao Shuzhen would be anxious before his matters were settled over here. ... Ah Bai, since you dont have anything to do today, why dont youe with me to my friends charity banquet? You should pick one or two items from our house and bring them along because theyre having an auction event. Jiao Shuzhen observed her sons expression when she said this. Shao Yibai wanted to decline her offer, but he maintained hisposure and simply looked at his mother who appeared youthful despite her age. Jiao Shuzhen looked as though she was only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. Her love for Shao Yibai went just a little bit overboard because he was her only son. Fortunately, Shao Yibai managed to grow up healthily and experienced a well-rounded upbringing thanks to Old Master Shaos strict teachings. Why do I need to go? Shao Yibai sounded slightly vignt. His unit was stationed at the outskirts of Capital City, so he rarely went home, but Jiao Shuzhen always had an immovable objective every time he came back. Matchmaking... Shao Yibai had been forced to attend a few of these events in the past. Now that he was older and possessed a unique status, his mother could not control him anymore. Every time she mentioned these matchmaking sessions, he simply said that he would not attend them. It was impossible for him to attend these events now that he only had eyes for Su Qingcheng. Shao Yibai was worried that Jiao Shuzhen had disguised the matchmaking session as another event to trick him into attending it because he refused to go along with her ns. Are you still going to argue with me when Im just asking you to go out and have fun? Jiao Shuzhen was unhappy. You cant just spend all your time training with the special forces troops. Sooner orter, youll have to socialize with the people from your fathers original circles. Your military rank... Lady Jiao, if youre so good at socializing, I should just give you my rank as Major General! There was a sinister smile on Shao Yibais face. Jiao Shuzhen was so angry that she red daggers at him. She was not going to bicker with her son though since she had actually made arrangements for him at the charity event today. Anyway, you should juste with me because Ive already told Chief Wei that youll be there. You should attend this event to support him! Shao Yibai noticed that Jiao Shuzhen had resorted to using her husbands old chief to get her way. He had no choice but to attend the event now out of respect. ... The charity event would be held in the reception hall of Chief Weis home in the militarypound. The old chief belonged to the same batch as Shao Jingshan, but he had retired many years ago. He now stayed at home now, and all his children had their own arrangements already except for his youngest daughter, Wei Hongmian. She was the only one who had yet to get married. She was a gorgeous woman who had graduated from a well-known university in America several years ago. It was natural for someone with her upbringing and background to be prouder than normal people. Numerous sons from illustrious families tried to win her affections, but she refused to see them. Thus, everyone in the social circles in Capital City called her a cold beauty. Unfortunately, Wei Hongmian became more and more anxious when she realized that she was not getting any younger. Her mother began looking for suitable candidates for her within their social circles. Shao Yibai was the first person on the list. She thought he was the most suitable man for her... Chapter 366 - Don’t Ruin My Plans, You Little Brat

Chapter 366: Dont Ruin My ns, You Little Brat

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Wei Familys reception hall included both eastern and western elements. The hall was decorated in a minimalistic manner, but it still looked grand and magnificent. When he was younger, Shao Yibai had visited this ce with his father once or twice. He was not concerned about influential officials at that time since he was still a boy. He simply felt that the Wei Familys home was rather impressive. There were several man-made ponds in the courtyard. As he was a naughty boy at that time, he had followed the Wei Familys eldest son to the pond to catch fish. Although Wei Hongmian and Shao Yibai were around the same age, perhaps the reason why they had rarely yed with each other when they were young was that Wei Hongmian was busy honing her talents back then? Wei Hongmian had received numerous academic awards and won manypetitions and events ever since she was young. She did extremely well all the way through high school until she received her masters degree in university. She was even awarded several degrees while she studied overseas. As she progressed through life, her path naturally diverged with the wild brats like Shao Yibai and the others. Chief Wei was quite fond of his daughter since she was so outstanding. He appeared to be particrly meticulous about her marriage when she had gotten old enough. Shao Yibai was the only child in the Shao Family. The parents of both families had a good rtionship with one another, and they understood each others situation at home. Chief Weis admiration for an iron-willed young man like Shao Yibai had only increased all this while. Frankly, Shao Yibai had been targeted as the partner of Wei Hongmians marriage long ago. It was just that Shao Yibai had been serving in the special forces unit all along. These armed services were perhaps the most dangerous profession during this peaceful era. Wei Hongmians mother was actually hesitant about the decision in the beginning. Nheless, it was understandable that she would worry if her daughter were to marry someone like that. She had tried to mediate the situation several days ago, but she could not do anything about it in the end since the Old Master liked Shao Yibai so much. Wei Hongmian had yet to find a suitable candidate all this while ever since she returned home from abroad. Her mothers objection had turned into support very soon. As Shao Yibai had suspected, this auction event was really a matchmaking session in disguise. ... Shao Yibai brought a pair of ceramic zed porcin bowls with lotus petal engravings on them for todays charity event. There were specialized workers who were checking in the articles that were brought in by various families. Shao Yibai had hidden himself right away once he had surrendered his items. He was terribly worried that Lady Jiao would discover him and introduce him to all of the female socialites here... Jiao Shuzhen had been speaking to Wei Hongmians mother, Yang Fan, for some time now. The topic of their conversation naturally shifted to Shao Yibai at one point. Is Yibai still very young? Yang Fan was aware that Wei Hongmian was actually three or four years older than Shao Yibai. Her only worry was that the other party would dislike her daughter. She decided to seek out Jiao Shuzhens views first. Age isnt a big deal. Its more important for our children to be able to look after each other. The only thing that matters is that theyll like each other and get along harmoniously. Jiao Shuzhen said these things openly because she already knew the task that Chief Wei had arranged. Yang Fan was secretly delighted when she heard this. She pulled Jiao Shuzhen over in a friendly manner and said, You know about my familys situation as well. Hongmian is my only daughter, and the old chief has been fond of Yibai for a long time. Why dont we let the two children meet since theyre already here today? Yes, Im also aware that Hongmian was studying overseas for the past few years. I know that shes back home today, but Im afraid that both of them have forgotten what each other looked like when they were younger. Jiao Shuzhen had been aware of the inside information long ago when said this. She was currently scanning the venue in search of Shao Yibai. She could not help but get angry when she noticed that her son was hiding in the corner. Events like these were good opportunities for the aristocrats to bond with each other. The prestigious individuals in Capital City were the only ones who were invited today. Aside from Shao Yibai, the other young men of the aristocratic families would enthusiastically attend these events in hopes of increasing their power and social status through marriage. Why was he hiding? Yang Fan could tell that Jiao Shuzhens temper was about to re up. Smiling, she pulled Jiao Shuzhen aside and murmured, I think that we should just ask Hongmian to go over and look for him. Jiao Shuzhen blushed. This meant that the girls family was taking the initiative. She was obviously d to hear that. She replied, Alright, Hongmian is certainly more thoughtful than that little brat! Shao Yibai had been determinedly making himself as insignificant as possible at this event. However, he could not do anything about the manly aura that radiated off his body that he had obtained after several years of living in the army. His natural good looks made him stand out from the crowd as well. The aristocratic way with which he carried himself caused him to instantly stir up peoples interest in the crowd. Is that Senior Colonel Shao? A random woman burst out loud out of excitement. Senior colonel? He was promoted to Major General long ago! Ive heard that hes serving in the special forces unit. Ive hardly seen him attending these events. Its so rare that hes here today... The noisydies began their discussion of the day and had long since abandoned their reserved demeanor as socialites. They stared openly at him, not bothering to hide their imploring gaze at all. Wei Hongmian saw Shao Yibai from the balcony of her house before she entered the hall. Wei Hongmian had a twin brother named Wei Hongsheng. She watched her brother y with Shao Yibai when they were little, but she had never joined them. Several years had passed since shest saw Shao Yibai. The mischievous little boy of the past had matured into a handsome man now. He was well-known for his illustrious military feats as well. Wei Hongmians heart stirred at the sight of him carrying himself so dominantly... She recalled the numerous Greek myths and stories that she had previously read. The beautiful women in those stories always wanted to marry the hero. Her father and older brothers also had military backgrounds, but none of them had touched Wei Hongmian the same way as Shao Yibai did. Shao Yibai gave off a courageous aura that had revived Wei Hongmians pent up desire for a hero of her own... Hongmian! Yang Fan walked over and tugged at her daughters gown when she noticed that she was still staring nkly on the balcony. She murmured, Go downstairs and meet Mr. Shao. Wei Hongmian had received a Western-style education since young. She was not shy at all due to her innate confidence and her open-minded personality. Alright, mother. As Wei Hongmian spoke, she took elegant steps and walked downstairs. On the other side, Jiao Shuzhen turned to Shao Yibai and said, In a short while, dont ruin my ns, you little brat... Lady Jiao, didnt you say that Uncle Wei wanted to see me? Why is his daughter meeting me instead? Shao Yibai did not pay attention to her. He clicked his tongue to indicate that he was against this. Before Jiao Shuzhen could rebuke her son, Wei Hongmian had already walked over from the other side. She wore an off-shoulder crimson gown that exposed her pale neck. She looked as beautiful as a swan. Other people would look too mboyant in red, but Wei Hongmians serene temperament contrasted the color and made her look very elegant. Shao Yibai met up with Wei Hongsheng frequently. He knew that he had a younger twin sister who was a schr and had spent most of her time abroad. Nheless, Shao Yibai was still a little shocked when he saw Wei Hongmian today. She still looked the same as she did before. Yibai, long time no see. Thank you for attending my charity auction event! Wei Hongmians voice was soft, generous, and genuine. She waspletely different from all the rumors calling her a cold beauty. Only now did Shao Yibai realize that Wei Hongmian was the organizer of todays charity event. Without exception, the host of events like these would have to make the biggest of contributions. He guessed that the Wei Family must have invested a lot into this event so that their daughter could enter thedies socialite circle. Shao Yibai smiled. Miss Wei, youre an extremely talented beauty whos also very kind. Im merely here to disy what meager abilities I have. I could never rival a schrly big sister like you. Wei Hongmian knew that she was slightly older than Shao Yibai. When it came to this meeting, she was most reluctant to mention her age. The womans expression changed slightly. However, she regained herposure quickly. She gave a small smile and said, Im not a schr. Im just a person who had spent all my time studying. If were talking about contributions to society, youve definitely given more significant contributions than me, Yibai. We would be nothing without people like you who protect our country. Shao Yibai had heard of Wei Hongmian to a certain extent. He knew that this young woman had always been arrogant because of the education she had received. He never imagined that she would belittle herself like this. What was she trying to do? Chapter 367 - Shao Yibai Was Dumbfounded. What Did He like About Su Qingcheng?

Chapter 367: Shao Yibai Was Dumbfounded. What Did He like About Su Qingcheng?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wei Hongmian carried herself in an elegant manner. She was a dignified and beautiful woman. As this was her home, she had the upper hand here. Evidently, she stood out from the crowd. Previously, she was a well-known but cold beauty in the socialite circle. The other socialites noticed that she had humbled herself as she came over to speak with Shao Yibai. The man was perpetually courteous toward her. When the crowd saw that he never rejected her advances, they instantly felt hopeless. Those two families would surely be joined soon! Shao Yibais smile was bewitching. His excellent upbringing allowed him to remain polite and poised before Wei Hongmian. However, Wei Hongmian could sense that Shao Yibai was keeping a distance between them. The Wei Familys wealth was impressive, but that was not the only thing that everyone envied. Wei Hongmian was also a charming individual in the Capital Citys social circles. She was used to men who were madly infatuated with her as the young men of the aristocratic families were always pursuing her. When she saw Shao Yibai, she felt that she was wasting her talents on a person who could not appreciate them. Yibai, a banquet will be held tonight a little while after the event ends. Why dont you stay and attend the banquet with meter? Coincidentally, my father said that he wanted to talk to you because he hasnt seen you in a long time. As Shao Yibais attitude was remarkably indifferent and modest, Wei Hongmian had no choice but to take the initiative to get what she wanted. She could not figure out what had happened. She had only seen him for several minutes, but her heart was suddenly filled with restlessness despite having been undisturbed for a long time. She abandoned her self-restraint and shyness. She used her fathers reputation because she wanted Shao Yibai to be closer to her. An alluring smile appeared on Shao Yibais face. He shot a nce at Lady Jiao and Yang Fan who were nearby. When he remembered that those two women were always on the lookout for power, he realized that he had fallen into their trap today. It would be fine if they were just going to have dinner. Was the Wei Family going to chew him out if things did not work out as nned? Alright, thank you for giving me this special treatment. Its true that I havent seen Uncle Wei in a long time. I was thinking of speaking to him too. Wei Hongmian openly sighed in relief. Her smile was still apparent when she spoke to Shao Yibai about her daily life. Shao Yibai had studied in a military school and grew up in a military camp. Due to his circumstances, he was not used to striking up conversations with beautiful women. However, an intelligent person like Wei Hongmian was unlike the average woman. A sociable woman like her could always find topics to ovee awkward situations. They spoke about the military because she was very knowledgeable about the subject. Although she had never enlisted in the army, she was well-versed in historical military affairs. She had a melodious voice that was both gentle and resounding. Burning passion seeped through her gentle gaze when she spoke to Shao Yibai. The man had a whole new level of respect for her. There were numerous beautiful women and nock of intelligent ones. However, it was truly rare to find one who was both gorgeous and wise. Most women discussed military affairs the same way they viewed ser matches. In most situations, they ignored the skills and battle tactics as they were only concerned with looking at the handsome men... Wei Hongmian was different because she had numerous unique opinions on military affairs. Perhaps she could not escape from her familys influence. There was no doubt that the people who chatted with her would feel extremely delighted. ... Time passed in the blink of an eye. After they chatted for some time, the people from the auction house came over to briefly appraise the items. They announced the items that they had received while informing them of their estimated prices at the same time. Wei Hongmian went to greet the people who were in charge as she was one of the organizers. The auction event would be held three dayster. The Wei Family brought 28 valuable items to be auctioned off for charity this time. Aside from antique jade articles and other simr items, there were also several prized literary works, paintings, and some precious objects that the old chiefs ancestors had left behind. They were previously used to reward illustrious families for their military achievements. The staff sorted the items while they briefly presented them to guests and informed them of their evaluations. The guests who attended tonights banquet would contribute one or two valuable items. Obviously, as they were the organizers, the Wei Family would contribute the most items. Once these items were sold at the auction, the money that they earned would be donated to charity. This was not a new idea. There were many other individuals in their group who needed to do such things to gain the prestige necessary to join the high-ssdies socialite circle. Nheless, she had earnestly brought out 28 valuable items for this auction. There were a few treasures among them as well. These superior objects had been scattered overseas, and she had obtained them from her foreign friends while she was studying abroad. She had spent a lot of money to purchase these items in the past, but she was donating all of them now. Everyone truly admired Wei Hongmians patriotic sentiments. Shao Yibai observed the exhibits in the disy counter. There was an antique pistol that he really liked. That item was used as an exhibit because it was a discarded weapon that could no longer be used. However, he could tell with a single look that the guns previous owner had loved it dearly. The pistols grip was so worn down that it was clearly shining. It gave off a dull light. Shao Yibai could not resist things like this. Once Wei Hongmian had finished speaking to the workers at the auction, she came over and stood beside Shao Yibai. She followed his gaze and noticed that he was staring nkly at an antique gun. Instantly, she understood his thoughts. A little whileter, the bodyguards in her house received an order toe over with a jewelry box. Wei Hongmian took it from them before she turned to the auction staff and quietly said, Im sorry, I identally brought the wrong item when we were preparing the inventory earlier. Please exchange this jade bracelet for that pistol. The Wei Family was the host of this event. Moreover, while the pistol was a valuable antique, its market value was clearly lower than the jade bracelets. The staff evaluated the items again and recorded everything before he passed the pistol to Wei Hongmian. When the banquet began, Wei Hongsheng took his bodyguards and servants to greet the guests who had arrived. Meanwhile, Wei Hongmian and her mother took Jiao Shuzhen and Shao Yibai to the back hall. The Wei Familys home was decorated in a simple but stylish manner. Their furniture and decorations were mainly crafted from mahogany. The charm of the past still lingered here. They reached the back hall once they had passed through the central room. Wei Hongmian was the most important individual of todays event. Chief Wei had yet to personally appear as he believed that his daughter was capable enough. Instead, he rested in the back hall. Chief Wei had his first child when he was much younger. Later, he was injured during training while attempting to save someone else. Due to his disability, the government gave him special treatment. He was much older when he once again was blessed with children. Wei Hongmian and her brother were a pair of twins that were born to him when he was almost 40 years old. Naturally, he loved them even more. Old Master Wei had retired, but his body was almost the same as when he was still actively serving in the military. He was lively and cheerful while his voice was sonorous. The Old Master was extremely pleased when he saw Shao Yibai. His whole family was seated here. When the Old Master heard that Shao Yibai had encountered danger when he ambushed a group of drug dealers in Yun Nan, the old man could not help but praise the young man. Its the duty of brave men like you to protect your country. Youll be a good husband once our families are joined in the future. I dont have to worry about handing Hongmian over to you. Shao Yibai, ... When had he agreed to be with Hongmian? Shao Yibais expression changed faintly. His gaze shifted toward Jiao Shuzhen, but the woman quickly shot him a nce that instructed him to keep quiet. To the side, Wei Hongmians cheeks instantly reddened. Having spent so much time in the military camp, her father was an unceasingly blunt person. Yang Fan hurriedly changed the subject when she heard that her husband had said these things without holding back. We should let the children decide on their own matters. You shouldnt pressure them! When he was younger, Chief Wei risked his life for his impressive military achievements. Once he had obtained a high position, he became used to giving orders. His heart grew upset when he noticed that his wife held a different opinion from him now. Strong men of character should always avoid beating around the bush. We should be direct when we have something to say. These are my children. Why should I refrain from voicing my opinions? Im not holding a meeting with my political party. The old chief nced at Shao Yibai. Suddenly, he asked, Yibai, Im going to ask you something. What do you think of Hongmian? Shao Yibai, ... He wondered how he had stumbled into this dangerous situation... Uncle, Big Sister Hongmian is an outstanding individual. Ever since I was little, my mother has always referred to her as an example of an excellent person. Shao Yibai shot a nce at Jiao Shuzhen when he said this. Jiao Shuzhen had no idea what her son was going to say after this, but she was too afraid to interrupt when the old chief was here. In the past, their families had been extremely close, but this little brat was about to cause trouble and ruin everything. She used her gaze to give her son a warning. On the sidelines, Wei Hongmian was already feeling embarrassed and awkward. She turned to her father and whispered, Father, you said that we were just going to have a simple meal. Why are you saying these things... The old chief smiled and brieflyforted his daughter. Its normal for me to be worried about you because youre my only daughter. Neither of my two sons couldpare to you. As he said this, he turned back and patted Shao Yibais shoulder. Yibai, let me ask you something else. Since you think that Hongmian is a decent person, what would you think if I gave her to you in the future? Huh? Was he really trying to force this? Shao Yibai kept mum for some time. His handsome face showed no signs of emotions while his gaze was quiet but dark. The man raised his wine ss and gently said, Uncle Wei, Ill raise this ss to show my respect toward you. Upon saying this, Shao Yibai finished his drink first to show his respect. Once he had drunk everything, he lifted his wine ss with both hands toward Chief Wei. The Old Master drained his ss in one gulp as well. Shao Yibai could tell that the old chief was still in a good mood. He was worried that there would be more trouble in the future if he did not exin everything clearly. The old chief was right. Honorable men should never beat around the bush. Uncle Wei, Hongmian is a wonderful girl, but I cant ept your offer! Shao Yibai nced at Wei Hongmian when he finished speaking. The womans face had instantly turned pale and she seemed to be in low spirits. Jiao Shuzhen was next to them. Her heart was filled with uneasiness when she heard this. She had warned the little brat beforehand, but he stubbornly refused to obey her. Jiao Shuzhen was about to speak before the old chiefs expression unexpectedly darkened. He waved hisrge hand and signalled her to remain seated. Yibai, please go on. The old chief still seemed kind. He did not get angry simply because Shao Yibai told him the truth. Im already in love with another woman! Shao Yibai took a deep breath before he smiled. He quietly said, I vowed to marry her during our risky expedition in Yun Nan. I told her that I loved her. I even stood under the starry sky and swore to the mountains and rivers that Id be faithful to her to the end! When Jiao Shuzhen heard this, she was so angry that she nearly rolled her eyes. That foolish boy... Wei Hongmians fingers trembled faintly when she ced them on her skirt. Her eyes were red, but she gently smiled and said, Yibai, I bet that shes very talented... The smile on the corners of Shao Yibais lips grew more apparent when he looked at Wei Hongmian. Shes terrible at housework and shes a hopeless orphan who doesnt have a family. She has been suffering in the mountains ever since she was little because she never received any education. Shes rather stupid. She was kidnapped and sold by human traffickers twice because shes too trusting! When he thought of that woman, he realized that she did not mean it when she insisted that she would not trust anyone ever again. Whenever someone in the army was nice to her, she would help them fold their nkets, wash their socks, buy food, and run errands for them. Shao Yibai nearlyughed when he recalled how she was always enthusiastic. She was really stupid! Well... She must be very beautiful... Wei Hongmian felt like she was going to suffocate. The woman that Shao Yibai described could not rival her in any sense. Why did he like her? What was so great about her? Shes very ugly. When she first entered the military camp, we couldnt tell that she was actually a woman dressed as a man! Shao Yibaiughed mischievously. Su Qingcheng loudly sneezed several times in the nearby police academy. Who is talking about me behind my back? The woman rubbed her nose while her pitch-ck eyes watered. She realized that Shao Yibai had not visited her in a long time. She really missed him... Chief Wei remained silent throughout. When he noticed that the rims of his daughters eyes had turned redder, he knew that the proud girl had already developed feelings for this man. The old chief sighed. What do you like about this girl? Shao Yibai was dumbfounded. What did he like about Su Qingcheng? Who knew? She would frequently jump on his back and act like a spoiled, shameless child without feeling embarrassed at all. Snot would drip down her nose when she cried and called him a devil during their training sessions. However, he never found her annoying for that. She would get so exhausted that her legs quivered and felt numb while her back hurt. Nheless, she was still adorable when she insisted on helping him with the chores when they returned to the military camp. She looked dazed but endearing when theyid on the sloping fields and she said, There arent any stars. She unintentionally made him repeat his promise because she was worried that it would note true. She was truly silly but cute... Her outlook on life and her inherent qualities were extremely naive, but she did not know how stupid she appeared. Sometimes, she was terribly pleased with herself when she yed clever tricks... Uncle Wei, I love her, and I believe that were destined to be together. I know that she has no redeeming qualities, but what will happen to her in the future if I dont marry her? Ive already promised that I would take care of her for her entire life! Shao Yibai spoke earnestly. He turned to Wei Hongmian and quietly said, Hongmian is different. Shes extremely talented and highly educated. Moreover, shees from a good family and shes gorgeous. It seems like she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Even if she doesnt end up with me, shell still be the most sought after individual in all the social circles of the Capital City. Chief Wei sighed when he heard this. In a deep voice, he said, A gentleman and a man of character must never take his promises lightly. Young man, I liked you and I thought that it would be wonderful if we could be inws. Unfortunately, fate had other ns for us. Hongmian, Yibai is right. Life has many other choices in store for you. You shouldnt fight about this. You should just continue treating each other like siblings in the future. Wei Hongmian looked terribly pale. She had always vied for first ce ever since she was young. Regardless of the circumstances, she would never settle for second best. She had never failed to get what she wanted. This was a significant event in her life. It was the first time that she had fallen in love with a man at first sight. Unfortunately, the other party told her that he was in love with another woman. One who was her exact opposite. In spite of that, he still liked that woman... This was ridiculous! Wei Hongmian took a deep breath and steadied her nerves. Smiling, she said, Dont worry, father. I know what to do. To the side, Yang Fan had grown incredibly upset much earlier. However, she kept mum to avoid hurting other peoples feelings. When she noticed her daughters stance on the matter, she knew deep in her heart that the girl would not just let this matter go. Perhaps initially, she was only slightly interested in Shao Yibai, but she was certainly determined to win him over now. A family feud had urred! Dinner turned into an unhappy event. After the meal, Jiao Shuzhen lowered her head defeatedly. She was about to leave with her son, but Wei Hongmian unexpectedly appeared and caught up to them. Aunty, you can leave first. I have something to say to Yibai. Wei Hongmian dismissed Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen thought to herself, If my son lets such a perfect girl go just so he can marry a second-rate harlot, Im going to break his legs! Shao Yibai noticed the threatening look in his mothers eyes. He smiled but remained silent. When Jiao Shuzhen left, Wei Hongmian nced at Shao Yibai. The mans handsome face was faintly tinged with a sinister aura. However, this was incredibly dazzling to her. Wei Hongmian took the antique gun out of her bag and gave it to Shao Yibai. The womans voice was clear and there was a faint smile on her face. Yibai, this is for you. Shao Yibai was stunned, but he did not hide his delight. He epted the gift without holding himself back. Thank you. Chapter 368 - He Was Not Used to Her Distinct Curves

Chapter 368: He Was Not Used to Her Distinct Curves

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wei Hongmian took the antique gun out of her bag and gave it to Shao Yibai. The womans voice was clear and there was a faint smile on her face. Yibai, this is for you. Shao Yibai was stunned, but he did not hide his delight. He epted the gift without holding himself back. Thank you. Yibai, my grandfather previously seized this gun when he won over the state with his faction. Ive heard that it was owned by the enemy troops high-ranking leader. Its an authentic product that was made in America. My grandfather liked it very much at that time. Of course, no one produces the bullets that are used with it anymore. This guns only function is as a keepsake now. It can never rival the impressive weapons that you are currently using. As she spoke, Wei Hongmians gaze fell on the pistol that had been polished until it glittered. Initially, she nned to donate it to a museum if it was not sold during the auction. She never expected that Shao Yibai would like it so much. Let me know if you see anything you like in the future. Ill give it to you to return the favor! said Shao Yibai as he stroked the gun. He could not hide his joy. Its really a wonderful item. The person who used this gun in the past must have felt really powerful. The man was beaming. He held the gun and gestured as though he was carefully aiming it at a star. Men like guns the same way women like jewelry or bags. We can never get tired of them no matter how many we have. This gun might not work, but its still meaningful. I like it very much. Thank you, Hongmian... I mean, Big Sister Hongmian! Wei Hongmian had a ratherplicated expression on her face. She took a deep breath before an affectionate look shed through her gaze. This bighearted man was brave enough to express his true feelings. Although she disliked it when he called her big sister, she continued to grow fond of the man... You dont have to be so polite. Were family after all... Wei Hongmian felt a lump in her throat when she said this. She had met numerous outstanding men while she was studying abroad for many years, but there were none like Shao Yibai. He was a resolute and iron-willed man who was rumored to be a violent and powerful force on the battlefield. However, he was also highly in touch with his emotions. In other words, he was well-rounded. Yang Fan was impressed that Jiao Shuzhen had such a caring son who always referred to his mother as Lady Jiao. Inparison to Wei Hongsheng, Shao Yibai was a considerate and protective son. He was bursting with potential as a partner. Although he never praised that girl when he spoke of her, there were traces of affection and love in his tone. He resembled the god of war when he held his gun, but he was a poet when he removed his military uniform. The apparent aristocratic aura that shrouded his body was faintly tinged with a sinister air. Wei Hongmians eyes were filled with admiration. She desperately yearned for a rtionship with this younger man. She was an experienced woman who wanted to savor young flesh... Meanwhile, Shao Yibai only had eyes for the person he liked. He was longing to see the young woman, Su Qingcheng. He was an older man who wanted to ravish her youthful body... Im leaving, Big Sister Hongmian. Thank you for your hospitality and thank you for the gift. There was a gleeful expression on Shao Yibais face, and he spoke in a rxed tone. He waved his hand as he said goodbye to Wei Hongmian. As Wei Hongmian sent him off, the feelings of disappointment and rejection in her heart gradually grew more intense as she watched Shao Yibais figure from behind. She pondered before she made a phone call and contacted her friend. Can you help me look into this person... * Shao Yibai had not visited Su Qingcheng in a long time. Spring had arrived and the flowers were in bloom at the beginning of May. The grounds of the schoolyard werepletely covered in hibiscus flowers that fell from the hibiscus trees that filled thepound. The young woman was incredibly happy when she noticed that Shao Yibai was here. The couple bought some food before they sat on thewn and basked in the sun. The sun was not scorchingly hot, it was simply bright and dazzling. A ser match was enthusiastically going on in the nearby ser field. The ce where they sat had several trees that provided them with shade. The sunlight shined on Su Qingchengs charming little face in motley patches as it passed through the gaps between the leaves. She was extremely adorable when she narrowed her eyes and looked at Shao Yibai... Ive wanted toe here for a long time to fulfill a wish... Su Qingcheng scanned her surroundings. There was a faintly pleased expression on her face. What made you want to do that? Shao Yibai could not understand. What was so fun about sitting on thewn? Ive seen many couples dating here... Su Qingcheng murmured. Shao Yibai realized that almost a year had passed since Su Qingcheng started studying. However, this was the first time that he sat with her in the schoolyard. The young woman was only 20 years old. She was truly at the age where she longed for romance. At that age, she was supposed to do lovey-dovey things and be inseparable from the person she was dating. Unfortunately, Shao Yibai did not spend enough time with her. Su Qingchengs little face faintly blushed once she had finished speaking. When she noticed that Shao Yibai was staring at her, she frantically exined, I wasntining that you hardlye to see me. I know that the army is strict. Moreover, you cant juste and see me as you please because of your rank in the military... Her flustered appearance touched the softest part of Shao Yibais heart. She was such a good girl. She was so pure that he loved her dearly! He truly wondered how her parents could sell off such an obedient child in the beginning. When he saw her actions at that time, he gave himself a mission to protect her for the rest of his life. As Shao Yibai pondered, he suddenly reached his arms out and pulled her into his embrace. The womans body was not as fragile and frail as the first time he met her. After she had undergone all the training, her bones were strong while her muscles were taut and flexible. They did not feel limp when he pinched them now. He was not used to her distinct curves. His head was lowered. As his lips were about to touch the tip of her nose, the mans deep voice sincerely said, This ce is definitely a spot that is frequented by couples on dates. Isnt there something that all couples are supposed to do? They were extremely close to each other. As there were only several millimeters between them, the atmosphere here seemed more alluring now than it would be if they actually kissed. Warm air swirled around the tip of her nose. The mans mouth smelled sweet and minty. It seemed as though his burning gaze was asking for her opinion. However, Su Qingcheng knew that this was merely a trick. He would kiss her whether she agreed to it or not. She realized that it would be better for her to take the initiative instead of being ridiculed by him after she took the bait. What do you think? She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently closed her eyes... Shao Yibais heart thumped wildly when he saw her signal. He stopped wavering and feverishly pressed his lips against hers instead. He forcefully sucked on them and grinded against them. The tip of his tongue entered and left her cavern as they intertwined. He held her head with one hand and wound the other around her waist. This caused her to tremble over and over again... The womans soft pants made him more excited. He began kissing her more fervently. It seemed as though a gentle and nimble little fish had entered his domain. It was lively and naughty... Her body finally felt weary after a long time. She felt as limp as a puddle of mud. Su Qingcheng had no idea whether her brain was still working. She merely felt as though the entire world was spinning. Sunlight continued shining through the gaps between the leaves, but it seemed particrly blinding now. She could not help but bury her head near his corbone. She was reluctant to leave for a long time. Shao Yibai quietly chuckled when he noticed that her little face was unusually red. Xiaodai, are you satisfied with what we did just now? It wasnt too bad. Su Qingcheng closed her eyes and said while she intentionally buried her head in his chest. Shao Yibai knew that she was being coy on purpose. Are you saying that my kissing skills still need more practice? I want to make Xiaodai proud! If you put it that way, Im not against it... Su Qingcheng quietly murmured.

Chapter 372: What Happened To the Daughter-In-Law and Parents-In-Laws Meeting??

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Little Su, the Mistress of Shao Family at Capital City is looking for you. Ill give you a half-day leave, so you dont need to participate in afternoons special training. As the instructor spoke, he looked at Jiao Shuzhen and then nced at the woman from the Wei Family. Lastly, his gaze fell on Su Qingcheng, and he thought maybe this was about a fight between the riches... Thank you, instructor... Su Qingcheng looked at the instructor and thanked him with a face filled with acknowledgment. Jiao Shuzhen showed her gratitude by giving her a nod. Su Qingcheng recalled how painful it was every time her period came, and it was the most unbearable when she had to join the special training as well. Now she had gotten a half-day leave so easily? How wonderful! Su Qingcheng saw Jiao Shuzhen looking at her, so she smiled and did a military salute. Hello, Mistress! Youre Shao Yibais mother, right? * In a high-end clubhouse caf... The environment was spacious, quiet, and elegant. Besides that, soothing music flows through the speakers and filled the room. It was Su Qingchengs first timeing to such a ce. When she was about to enter the caf, she noticed that there was an automatic shoe polisher at the door. Only then did she realized that she was the only one who was wearing sneakers in the cafe. Fortunately, she had long legs, so no one paid attention to her shoes... Su Qingcheng hid her feet and continued to sit up straight. Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian sat together and looked Su Qingcheng in the eyes. Su Qingcheng was a little surprised that Jiao Shuzhen took the initiative to find her. However, it made sense when she thought about it. She had followed Shao Yibai to Capital City, and they had been together for about a year already. Jiao Shuzhen knew about her existence, yet Shao Yibai refused to let her meet his parents. She had to have known half of what was going on even if she was retarded. Then, Su Qingcheng nced at the woman Jiao Shuzhen had brought along with her. She had an elegant air about her, and her presence was somehow undeniable. Moreover, the woman had been staring at her with uncertainty. This made Su Qingcheng realize that this might be a Feast at Swan Goose Gate [TN: a term used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation ostensibly joyous but treacherous.] and she might be besieged... The three of them ordered three cups of coffee and the smell of hand-ground Brazilian coffee was wafting in the air in no time. Miss Su, its inconvenient for us to speak in the academy just now. Ive invited you out so that we can get straight to the point here. Jiao Shuzhen looked around and said, Im looking for you because I want to talk about you and Shao Yibai! Su Qingchengs fingertips trembled a little. The woman sitting in front of her was Wei Hongmian, and she had hardly made any sound since they met. Well, Mistress, you can get straight to the point! Youre Big Brother Shaos mother, and Im younger than you. Anything you said is right! Su Qingcheng said with a sweet smile on her face. She knew that it was inevitable, so she might as well invite her to get straight to the point liberally. With the nourishment of love, Shao Yibais encouragement and care, as well as her diligence, she was no longer the dirty fair-skin boy from more than a year ago! Oh? Miss Su seems very confident... Mm, sort of... Jiao Shuzhen saw how this little girl was not backing down at all and grew somewhat unsatisfied. She thought that as long as she made a move, a little girl like her who had not yet seen the world would be intimidated. Jiao Shuzhen saw her straightened waist and the smile on her face. She was not caught in a bout of low self-esteem at all. If Shao Yibai did not tell them beforehand, she could not imagine that the girl in front of her came from the mountains and was sold to human traffickers twice. The instructor had also mentioned that Su Qingchengs written test and physical training were ced first among all the girls in the entire academy. It seemed like this little girl would not be easy to deal with! Jiao Shuzhen reached out and grasped Wei Hongmians hand. She said to Su Qingcheng calmly, Since Miss Su is being so straightforward, Ill not beat around the bushes. Let me introduce you to thisdy, shes the marriage candidate that I had chosen for Yibai, the little daughter of Capital Citys Wei Family, Wei Hongmian! Although Su Qingcheng had prepared herself mentally, she was still a little surprised by this information. She looked at Wei Hongmian and this elegant woman had on a three-pointed arc smile. The word sweet did not suit her, but she did look like a she could be one of the big sisters. Wei Hongmian nodded at Su Qingcheng and said with a smile, Miss Su, Ive heard about you. Now that Ive seen you, I must admit that you do look good! To hell with sister! This straightforward girl was beginning to dislike Wei Hongmian. This woman came to steal her man, yet she called her sister? What? She wanted to address each other sisters as though we were the first and second wives from the Republic of China era? Su Qingcheng muttered in her heart softly and tried to keep herposure. Miss Wei has already heard about me. Im very sorry then because Ive been in the Capital City for a year and have spent quite some time in Yan State, but I never knew that theres someone called Miss Wei around Big Brother Shao... Su Qingchengs volume was not too loud, and there was no edge to her tone. Her big eyes were watery, dark, and lively. She looked at the two women in front of her face and retaliated. Wei Hongmian felt as though she was being insulted. When she was about to speak, Jiao Shuzhen held her hand down and hinted her not to do so. Miss Su, as Yibais mother, Im very sorry that he has never mention Hongmian before. He is Hongmians childhood friend and both of our families have a marriage contract. However, he is always away from home. This child has a yful and wild nature, and he had now got you involved with himself. I must say, I have got a huge responsibility toward his action as his mother! Jiao Shuzhen actually looked regretful when she spoke. She then sighed and continued, Miss Su, I came to look for you to rify on this matter and to avoid turning this into a huge mistake which could keep you from your bright future! Jiao Shuzhens message was extremely obvious: Shao Yibai did not tell you that he had a marriage contract because he was just messing around with you. The one who would be married into the Shao Family would be Miss Wei. Su Qingcheng did not know what to say. It would be a lie to say that Su Qingcheng was not sad at all. She felt aggrieved and hurt, but she dared not reveal her emotions. What happened to the daughter-inw and parents-inws meeting? She was being rejected directly by them... Wei Hongmian saw that Su Qingcheng did not say anything andughed secretly in her heart. She was right, her aura and position were different when she brought Jiao Shuzhen along with her. Miss Su, Shao Yibai is my son and Ive not taught him well and had allowed to do such a thing. Ill give you 500,000 yuan right now aspensation... As Jiao Shuzhen spoke, she took out a credit card from her handbag and passed it to her gently. Miss Su, our family members are all in the military and political industry for generations. Were not as wealthy as the nobles, but this is just something small to make up for your loss. I hope that you dont think that its too little. If Su Qingcheng had read the novels about rich and powerful CEO, she should be very familiar with this scene. How it would normally go down would be the main female character jumping jump up angrily, shredding the card or tearing the cheque, and tell the other party that she was truly in love with the main male character... Unfortunately, the silly girl, Su Yingcheng had been ying with a small pool of mud ever since she was younger and had never read a novel before... That... Madame Shao, you dont have to give me money now as both of us likes each other. If youre willing to propose to me now, you should first cut it off with Miss Wei! I dared not ept such a huge amount of betrothal gifts... Su Qingcheng said very seriously and gave Wei Hongmian a sympathetic look. Wei Hongmian and Jiao Shuzhen were both rendered speechless.

Chapter 370: Xiaodai Is Going to Be My Wife in the Future. Nobody Can Change That

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai could not help butugh when Su Qingcheng mentioned that she wanted to join the police force. He was in the special forces while she was going to be a police officer. Did that mean that both of them would continue catching criminals after they were married? In the future, Im going to strive to be the captain of the criminal police department so that I can specialize in arresting human traffickers... Shao Yibai, ... He never imagined that Su Qingchengs previous circumstances still gued her mind. Xiaodai, whos going to take care of the baby once youre the captain of the criminal police force? The man lowered his voice but asked the question bluntly. Baby? What baby? Su Qingcheng had not thought so far ahead as they had just started dating. Why would she be thinking about a baby? Shao Yibai was slightly disheartened when he saw that there was a faintly surprised look on her cheerful little face. He ruffled her messy hair with hisrge hand and muttered, Have you made the necessary preparations to marry me? If youre nning to marry me, youre going to have my children. Whats so strange about that? Su Qingcheng was stunned. It seemed like there was still a long time before the future that Shao Yibai was talking about would arrive. However, he was enthusiastically looking forward to a wife and children... Nheless, when she put herself in his shoes, she realized that she should be looking forward to this as well. If she loved him, it would be normal for them to have a family together. But I havent met your family yet... mumbled the woman quietly. In Su Qingchengs mind, ones parents had the most authority when it came to matters like these. She had no parents to hinder her decisions, but Shao Yibai was different! Moreover, she understood the Shao Familys background, even more, when she arrived in Capital City. This increased the hesitant feelings in her heart. She was worried that she did not deserve him... Yes, I wanted to discuss this matter with you soon. Ive already told my mother about our rtionship! Su Qingchengs little face immediately turned ashen when she heard Shao Yibai say that. Were they not hiding this anymore? Shao Yibai hurriedly exined when he saw the stunned and uneasy look on Su Qingchengs face. Dont worry, my family is very open-minded. Im sure that my mother will love you! Shao Yibai did not say this with much confidence. When he was at the Wei Familys charity event the day before he came here, Lady Jiao had given him a threatening re... Su Qingchengs panicked expression calmed down. She swallowed her spit while her voice quivered as she said, Will your mother ept me as her daughter-inw when Imcking three things? Lacking three things? Su Qingcheng ruffled her hair and smiled. Ick supporters, a family background, and an education... In the future, Ill be your supporter and my family background will be yours. You simply have to get an education and youll be fine! Shao Yibai smiled as he said this. Warmth filled Su Qingchengs heart. She buried herself against Shao Yibais chest and murmured, Is it time for the beautiful bride to meet her inws? An annoyed look appeared on Shao Yibais face. Youre so full of yourself! ... Shao Yibai promised that he would take Su Qingcheng to meet Jiao Shuzhen after some time. The main issue was that he had yet to properly sort things out with his mother. She was usually an understanding person, but she would often hinder him during important moments. You have to listen to me when ites to important matters like marriage! After several arguments, Jiao Shuzhen basically decided to use her trump card. You can fool around with your little girlfriend, but I forbid you from marrying someone like her and bringing her into the Shao Family! Jiao Shuzhen constantly wanted to make up for this matter as she had humiliated herself in front of Yang Fan. The Shao Family and the Wei Family were on good terms, and Jiao Shuzhen liked Wei Hongmian as well. She had no idea why her son whom she had single-handedly raised did not want a beautiful and highly educated youngdy like Wei Hongmian. Instead, he wanted to marry that silly girl from the mountains... Shao Yibai heart was secretly filled with rage when he heard this, but he still spoke and acted like a gentleman on the surface. The man calmly said, I cant give you the daughter-inw that you want. Xiaodai is going to be my wife in the future. Nobody can change that! Jiao Shuzhen was upset when she realized that Shao Yibai had made up his mind. However, she had maintained an extremely good rtionship with her son throughout many years. She knew how to restrain her rage during critical moments like this. Just as Jiao Shuzhen was about to explode with rage, she suddenly received a phone call from Wei Hongmian. They talked about mundane things first before they finally reached the main topic. Wei Hongmian gently said, Aunty, Im going to see someone. If youre curious, we can go and meet this person together! Chapter 371 - This Little Brat Was Using Her Past to Silence Her

Chapter 371: This Little Brat Was Using Her Past to Silence Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion An argument had broken out in Shao Jingshans home, but he did not pick a side. In his heart, he was fine with whatever it was as long as his son was happy. Shao Jingshan decided to remain neutral and did not try to express his opinions on the matters. Unfortunately, this angered Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen was a woman who was used to being pampered by her husband and son. She had never been inconvenienced like this. She felt that her husband and son were disrespecting her. She was so furious that she cried and sobbed. Shao Jingshan had no alternative but to console his wife and reprimand his son for making excessive demands when they tried topromise with him. Silence! Look at how youve upset your mother. Shao Yibai was annoyed, but he did not kick up a big fuss with his parents. Instead, he dead-panned, You married the woman you loved, and I simply want to do the same. Whats wrong with that? Shao Jingshan was speechless. Shao Yibai turned to his mother and continued, I remembered that grandmother was against your marriage in the beginning because father was initially pursuing Yuan Xuans mother! Jiao Shuzhen and Shao Jingshan were so stunned they could not think of a reply. After that, eldest aunt introduced you to father. However, grandmother was worried this romantic affair would result in a fight between you and your sister. Nheless, you decided to marry father without your parents approval because you loved him. Grandmother was forced to give in when you got pregnant with me. Only then did she agree to let you marry my father. For many years, you couldnt understand grandmothers actions at that time, and you resented her for them. Now that youre a mother, youre trying to stop me instead. I wouldnt be here if you hadnt persevered in the past. Im your biological son, so its natural that I learned to be as persevering as my mother... A sly smile appeared on Shao Yibais face as he said this. Shao Jingshan realized that his son was being perfectly reasonable. It was impossible for him to defend his wife now. Jiao Shuzhen was both annoyed and amused at the same time. This young man had actually exposed her previous misdeeds. This little brat was using her past to silence her! The woman would never give in so easily. She would not be happy unless she stated her side of the story. At least your father and I were an appropriate match for each other. The Jiao Family could be considered as influential then. We had an abundance of financial resources and our social standing was quite high as well. Meanwhile, your father had a good background and impressive military achievements. Our marriage was a union between two powerhouses. Our marriagested for many years because we spoke the samenguage. This allowed us to have strong feelings for each other as husband and wife. Do you and that girl from the mountains even speak the samenguage? Youre going to spend a lot of time with each other when youre a married couple... Jiao Shuzhen was an expert at manipting peoples emotions, but she could also use logic to reason with them. She was being honest with him. After all, the Shao Family had raised Shao Yibai with the best resources out there. Their son was not a schr, but he had numerous other achievements that he could be proud of. In the future, he would not always be serving in the special forces unit. Once he transferred out of the armed services, he would be properly recognized as a public official. How could a man of his status marry an uneducated woman who was nothing but a pretty face? Shao Yibai sat on the sofa. He had wanted to keep a safe distance between Jiao Shuzhen and himself, but he moved closer to her now with arge smile on his face. He massaged his mothers shoulders with both of his hands. Im an adult now, so I dont have to form a powerful union with my wifes family. Ill be a person who she can rely on! As for sharing the samenguage, you dont have to worry about that because Xiaodai speaks excellent Mandarin. Shes also learned the dialect of Capital City. If you dont believe me, why dont I bring her here in a few days to meet you? Shao Yibai had finally stopped beating around the bush. If he brought Xiaodai over to meet his parents, they would have to ept the truth even if they were unhappy about it. When Jiao Shuzhen heard this, she realized that Shao Yibai was avoiding important matters by focusing on trivial things. She would not fall for his trap. Jiao Shuzhen had nned for this earlier on. She had already considered the things that Wei Hongmian had said to her during the phone call. The Wei Familys daughter had an intricate mind. She was also a strong and independent thinker. She realized that it was more effective to work her way in from Su Qingcheng rather than Shao Yibai. She probably assumed that it was alright for her to meet Su Qingcheng because she was not Shao Yibais legal spouse yet. After all, Shao Yibai had not made any promises to her. The circumstances would be different if she dragged Jiao Shuzhen with her. It would mean that Jiao Shuzhen had recognized Wei Hongmian as her rightful daughter-inw. Jiao Shuzhen was a little worried about the younger woman suggestion in the beginning. If Shao Yibai had discovered that she had gone and met Su Qingcheng with Wei Hongmian, he definitely would have gotten angry with her. She realized right now that she had no choice but to start with that young woman after witnessing Shao Yibais attitude on this matter. * The sun looked as if it was on fire hanging in the July sky in Capital City. Su Qingcheng was used to the humid weather back in the mountains, so she still felt miserable even though it was already her second summer in Capital City. Worse still, the physical education sses at the police academy were not any shorter than the training sessions that Shao Yibai had put her through. It was fortunate that she had been prepared by Shao Yibai for them. Her training in Yan Zhou was not useless after all. At least she was currently stronger than her peers in the physical training and skill training sessions. Moreover, she was about to graduate soon. She just had to grit her teeth and endure the veryst part of her training. When todays training session ended, several of Su Qingchengs young ssmates patted her shoulder and sounded a little jealous when they said, Little Su, how is it possible that you seemed to grow whiter the longer you spent under the sun? Thats so unfair! Su Qingcheng was puzzled as well. Everyone else had burnt their skin until it turned as dark as a piece of toast while her skin remained snow-white. Her skin continued to glimmer and seemed to grow all the more translucent. Maybe it has something to do with my body... Su Qingcheng said with a smile. The young people who were able to study here came from excellent families. Although she was able to enter through her personal connections, she did not ck any more than the others did during training. Dont me me if you guys get any darker... Su Qingcheng giggled. Everyone elseughed as well. They chatted while walking back to the dorms. The ss representative appeared suddenly in the dorms looking for Su Qingcheng. When she pushed the door open and saw that she was about to go and wash up, the girl yelled, Little Su, the instructor wants to see you in her office. Su Qingcheng realized that she was still dressed in her camouge training uniform, and her face was still covered in dirt. She said, Ill go over after Ive washed up. The ss representative thought about it for a moment before ushering her to get a move on. Please hurry up! Su Qingcheng quickly showered and changed into a clean white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She had a slim waist and a pair of long legs that made her look beautiful no matter what she wore. After training for more than a year, she did not look delicate or fragile anymore. Her exquisite little face and personality had changed. She was much more resolute and determined now. Her hair had grown as well, adding a touch of gentleness and beauty to her appearance. The instructors office and the dorms were located very close to each other. Su Qingcheng jogged there because it was only a short distance away, but she had begun sweating unexpectedly. Reporting! she yelled at the entrance and stopped at the doorway, wiping the sweat on her forehead with a piece of tissue paper. Come in! The instructor was a woman in her forties who had been working in this field for over a decade. However, this was the first time she had received guests who were the family members of important individuals. She was rather excited about it. Once she was inside, Su Qingcheng realized that there were two other women in the office. The instructor was interacting with them in a friendly manner. It was likely that none of the students in the department had seen her like this before. Maam, you were looking for me? Su Qingcheng spoke in a loud voice with her back perfectly straight. Her eyes were clear and devoid of any unnecessary emotions. The young woman was always full of energy, but she avoided appearing mboyant by keeping a low profile instead. She had a simple kind of beauty. Wei Hongmian was sitting beside Jiao Shuzhen, and her heart trembled when she saw Su Qingcheng entering the room. Even someone like Wei Hongmian who had been part of the high-end circle was forced to admit that the young woman before her was a breath of fresh air inparison to the wealthy, aristocratic socialites like herself...

Chapter 372: What Happened To the Daughter-In-Law and Parents-In-Laws Meeting??

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Little Su, the Mistress of Shao Family at Capital City is looking for you. Ill give you a half-day leave, so you dont need to participate in afternoons special training. As the instructor spoke, he looked at Jiao Shuzhen and then nced at the woman from the Wei Family. Lastly, his gaze fell on Su Qingcheng, and he thought maybe this was about a fight between the riches... Thank you, instructor... Su Qingcheng looked at the instructor and thanked him with a face filled with acknowledgment. Jiao Shuzhen showed her gratitude by giving her a nod. Su Qingcheng recalled how painful it was every time her period came, and it was the most unbearable when she had to join the special training as well. Now she had gotten a half-day leave so easily? How wonderful! Su Qingcheng saw Jiao Shuzhen looking at her, so she smiled and did a military salute. Hello, Mistress! Youre Shao Yibais mother, right? * In a high-end clubhouse caf... The environment was spacious, quiet, and elegant. Besides that, soothing music flows through the speakers and filled the room. It was Su Qingchengs first timeing to such a ce. When she was about to enter the caf, she noticed that there was an automatic shoe polisher at the door. Only then did she realized that she was the only one who was wearing sneakers in the cafe. Fortunately, she had long legs, so no one paid attention to her shoes... Su Qingcheng hid her feet and continued to sit up straight. Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian sat together and looked Su Qingcheng in the eyes. Su Qingcheng was a little surprised that Jiao Shuzhen took the initiative to find her. However, it made sense when she thought about it. She had followed Shao Yibai to Capital City, and they had been together for about a year already. Jiao Shuzhen knew about her existence, yet Shao Yibai refused to let her meet his parents. She had to have known half of what was going on even if she was retarded. Then, Su Qingcheng nced at the woman Jiao Shuzhen had brought along with her. She had an elegant air about her, and her presence was somehow undeniable. Moreover, the woman had been staring at her with uncertainty. This made Su Qingcheng realize that this might be a Feast at Swan Goose Gate [TN: a term used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation ostensibly joyous but treacherous.] and she might be besieged... The three of them ordered three cups of coffee and the smell of hand-ground Brazilian coffee was wafting in the air in no time. Miss Su, its inconvenient for us to speak in the academy just now. Ive invited you out so that we can get straight to the point here. Jiao Shuzhen looked around and said, Im looking for you because I want to talk about you and Shao Yibai! Su Qingchengs fingertips trembled a little. The woman sitting in front of her was Wei Hongmian, and she had hardly made any sound since they met. Well, Mistress, you can get straight to the point! Youre Big Brother Shaos mother, and Im younger than you. Anything you said is right! Su Qingcheng said with a sweet smile on her face. She knew that it was inevitable, so she might as well invite her to get straight to the point liberally. With the nourishment of love, Shao Yibais encouragement and care, as well as her diligence, she was no longer the dirty fair-skin boy from more than a year ago! Oh? Miss Su seems very confident... Mm, sort of... Jiao Shuzhen saw how this little girl was not backing down at all and grew somewhat unsatisfied. She thought that as long as she made a move, a little girl like her who had not yet seen the world would be intimidated. Jiao Shuzhen saw her straightened waist and the smile on her face. She was not caught in a bout of low self-esteem at all. If Shao Yibai did not tell them beforehand, she could not imagine that the girl in front of her came from the mountains and was sold to human traffickers twice. The instructor had also mentioned that Su Qingchengs written test and physical training were ced first among all the girls in the entire academy. It seemed like this little girl would not be easy to deal with! Jiao Shuzhen reached out and grasped Wei Hongmians hand. She said to Su Qingcheng calmly, Since Miss Su is being so straightforward, Ill not beat around the bushes. Let me introduce you to thisdy, shes the marriage candidate that I had chosen for Yibai, the little daughter of Capital Citys Wei Family, Wei Hongmian! Although Su Qingcheng had prepared herself mentally, she was still a little surprised by this information. She looked at Wei Hongmian and this elegant woman had on a three-pointed arc smile. The word sweet did not suit her, but she did look like a she could be one of the big sisters. Wei Hongmian nodded at Su Qingcheng and said with a smile, Miss Su, Ive heard about you. Now that Ive seen you, I must admit that you do look good! To hell with sister! This straightforward girl was beginning to dislike Wei Hongmian. This woman came to steal her man, yet she called her sister? What? She wanted to address each other sisters as though we were the first and second wives from the Republic of China era? Su Qingcheng muttered in her heart softly and tried to keep herposure. Miss Wei has already heard about me. Im very sorry then because Ive been in the Capital City for a year and have spent quite some time in Yan State, but I never knew that theres someone called Miss Wei around Big Brother Shao... Su Qingchengs volume was not too loud, and there was no edge to her tone. Her big eyes were watery, dark, and lively. She looked at the two women in front of her face and retaliated. Wei Hongmian felt as though she was being insulted. When she was about to speak, Jiao Shuzhen held her hand down and hinted her not to do so. Miss Su, as Yibais mother, Im very sorry that he has never mention Hongmian before. He is Hongmians childhood friend and both of our families have a marriage contract. However, he is always away from home. This child has a yful and wild nature, and he had now got you involved with himself. I must say, I have got a huge responsibility toward his action as his mother! Jiao Shuzhen actually looked regretful when she spoke. She then sighed and continued, Miss Su, I came to look for you to rify on this matter and to avoid turning this into a huge mistake which could keep you from your bright future! Jiao Shuzhens message was extremely obvious: Shao Yibai did not tell you that he had a marriage contract because he was just messing around with you. The one who would be married into the Shao Family would be Miss Wei. Su Qingcheng did not know what to say. It would be a lie to say that Su Qingcheng was not sad at all. She felt aggrieved and hurt, but she dared not reveal her emotions. What happened to the daughter-inw and parents-inws meeting? She was being rejected directly by them... Wei Hongmian saw that Su Qingcheng did not say anything andughed secretly in her heart. She was right, her aura and position were different when she brought Jiao Shuzhen along with her. Miss Su, Shao Yibai is my son and Ive not taught him well and had allowed to do such a thing. Ill give you 500,000 yuan right now aspensation... As Jiao Shuzhen spoke, she took out a credit card from her handbag and passed it to her gently. Miss Su, our family members are all in the military and political industry for generations. Were not as wealthy as the nobles, but this is just something small to make up for your loss. I hope that you dont think that its too little. If Su Qingcheng had read the novels about rich and powerful CEO, she should be very familiar with this scene. How it would normally go down would be the main female character jumping jump up angrily, shredding the card or tearing the cheque, and tell the other party that she was truly in love with the main male character... Unfortunately, the silly girl, Su Yingcheng had been ying with a small pool of mud ever since she was younger and had never read a novel before... That... Madame Shao, you dont have to give me money now as both of us likes each other. If youre willing to propose to me now, you should first cut it off with Miss Wei! I dared not ept such a huge amount of betrothal gifts... Su Qingcheng said very seriously and gave Wei Hongmian a sympathetic look. Wei Hongmian and Jiao Shuzhen were both rendered speechless. Chapter 373 - Do You Mind Sleeping With Him

Chapter 373: Do You Mind Sleeping With Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Title Trantors Note: It is a Chinese idiom that says what has been done cannot be undone. It is usually used when two people have sex and there is nothing they can do to change it. Su Qingcheng did not y by the books. That had turned Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian instantly into the passive party. Wei Hongmian had always looked down on Su Qingcheng. She was nothing but an inexperienced little girl. What could she ever achieve? She definitely did not expect Su Qingcheng to be so confident and outspoken. She made Jiao Shuzhen eat her own words... Miss Su, stop ying the fool! Wei Hongmian lowered her voice and there were hints of rage in her eyes. After all, she was well educated, so it was impossible for her to raise her voice in public. All she could do was lower her voice to express her dissatisfaction. Auntie is being very straightforward, cant you see it? Do you still not know the purpose of our visit today? Wei Hongmians voice was trembling since she was trying very hard to suppress her emotions. Su Qingcheng was shocked by Wei Hongmians tone. She leaned backward and said with a smile, Im not so sure! Su Qingcheng retaliated smoothly. Wei Hongmian was speechless. Jiao Shuzhen was having a headache! What would happen if a girl like that got married to her son in the future? She was not only stubborn but also immune to both soft and hard tactics. If they did not maintain a good mother and daughter-inw rtionship, she was afraid that her son would no longer listen to her! Miss Su, I want you to break up with my son! Jiao Shuzhen stopped beating around the bushes and spoke her thoughts exactly as they were without a trace of hesitation. She had always been a kind mother in front of Shao Yibai and she still was one, but she was the only kind towards the people who she liked. Her sons future could not be destroyed in the hands of this girl. She was not suitable to be the daughter-inw of the Shao family! Su Qingcheng saw the disdain in Jiao Shuzhens eyes that seemed as though she was telling her she was being persistent and was pestering Shao Yibai. Thus, the grievance in her heart grew stronger! She then looked at Wei Hongmian. She had heaved a sigh of relief after Jiao Shuzhen said what she did. The elegant look she had on her face when she first entered the door reappeared. Moreover, she even started knocking her delicate nails on the table rhythmically. Su Qingcheng took a deep breath and eximed in her heart, I know that I was born into a family of nothing, but did that give you the right to trample on me? Miss Wei, has Shao Yibai kissed you? Su Qingcheng turned to Wei Hongmain and asked, suppressing the grievances and sadness in her heart. Wei Hongmian was stunned. She did not expect Su Qingcheng to ask this question, and she did not know the purpose behind the question either. She was known as Shao Yibais childhood friend. Nheless, the time that they had spent together might even be lesser than the time that Su Qingcheng had spent with him, so how could she be kissed by him... N-no... Wei Hongmians face flushed. The woman who had always been sharp-tongue started stuttering in her speech. They never even held hands, not to mention kissing. Although she had received western education and was open-minded, it was impossible for her to admit that they had kissed in front of Jiao Shuzhen when being asked such a question. Due to the Wei familys strict upbringing, she was still a socialite who followed the older traditions. Shao Yibai kissed me! Su Qingcheng said softly. Her skin had always been fair, and her little face was ever delicate and lovely. When she said that, she wanted to cry from feeling wronged. Thus, her reddened eyes made her seemed rather pitiful. After Shao Yibai kissed me, he told me that he would marry me and be loyal to me for the rest of his life... Su Qingcheng felt a reckless kind of persistence, and her voice was bing hoarse. Su Qingchengs heart twinged in pain. Although the person who bullied her was not Shao Yibai, the thought of separating with Shao Yibai made her feel like crying. Wei Hongmians face turned red and green when she heard Su Qingchengs deration. She could imagine an outstanding man like Shao Yibai saying Ill be loyal to you for the rest of my life to the woman he liked affectionately and charmingly. Wei Hongmian sighed in her heart. If he said that to her, she would also be as reckless as Su Qingcheng. Jiao Shuzhen stared at Su Qingchengs little face and saw through her joy and the emotions she was feeling at the moment. A hint of hesitation shed through Jiao Shuzhens eyes. After all, she was a pitiful child. Her parents did not love her. She only needed to be loved spoilt by a man like Shao Yibai for her to be so obsessed with him... Miss Su, you should take a mans words with a pinch of salt... Even though Jiao Shuzhen was somewhat hesitant, she decided to be honest with herself when it came to her sons future and career. Its not like that! Su Qingcheng wiped the tears threatening to fall with the back of her hand and continued earnestly, I believe in everything Shao Yibai said! Jiao Shuzhen saw the overly persistent look on Su Qingchengs face and gave a light smile. You should know that most men are just fooling around. Why are you take it so seriously? Shao Yibai is your son, dont you believe in him? Su Yangchengs tone had be softer, but it did not sound weak. Do you really think hes just one of those men? Jiao Shuzhen was stunned speechless by her words. This girl was truly stubborn! Shao Yibai is the one and only man in my heart! You do not believe in him as his mother, but I do! Su Qingcheng said with absolute conviction. I wont me you if you hate me and do not want me to be part of the Shao Family! However, even if we were to break up, I want Shao Yibai to tell me so in person instead of hearing it from someone else... She could not even let Shao Yibai know that she visited, let alone asking Shao Yibai to break up with her. He knew her son very well. Although he had always smiled and joked around her, the girl in front of her was his bottom line. If he knew that she and Wei Hongmian came to pressure her, she was afraid that he might make a big fuss out of it. When that happened, even the bond between a mother and a child could not have prevented it. Su Qingcheng saw that Jiao Shuzhen had stopped talking and looked at Wei Hongmian whose face had turnedpletely red. She continued, Although I havent known Big Brother Shao for a long time, I know that he wont abandon me, not to mention dating two girls at the same time! If Miss Wei truly likes him, I dont mind the fairpetition! Fairpetition? In Wei Hongmians dictionary, there was not a word called failure. Thus, she was never afraid ofpetitions! Okay! Wei Hongmian was also a little excited. She nced at Jiao Shuzhen and said to Su Qingcheng calmly, Since Miss Su said so, Ill ept your suggestion! Jiao Shuzhen heard that and realized then how popr her son was. She did not have any opinions on the oue. Jiao Shuzhen agreed with what Su Qingcheng said in her heart. Shao Yibai was not someone who would abandon his loved one. He was as loyal as his father, Shao Jingshan. At that time, if she did not y a little trick to force Shao Jingshan to sleep with her, the one-track minded man would most probably remain alone all his life, and she would have married Yuan Tangbai instead. He had always treated her extremely well after their marriage. In his mind, he should be loyal to her for the rest of his life. Since she gave birth to his child, she would be the woman that he had to take care of for the rest of his life. Shao Yibai behaved just like his father on this matter! When Su Qingcheng said that she wanted topete fairly with Wei Hongmian, an idea quickly shed through Jiao Shuzhens mind, but she was frightened by her thoughts soon... That was too dangerous. If it fails, she was afraid that Shao Yibai might hate her. Besides, Wei Hongmian might not necessarily agree to it... Chapter 375 - He Wanted to Bully Her Immediately!

Chapter 375: He Wanted to Bully Her Immediately!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wei Hongmian heard what Jiao Shuzhen had said, and the chopsticks in her hand fell onto the table. She looked a little flustered and got up right away. He swung her hands away the moment she held Shao Yibais arm in her trembling little hands. Go away! Shao Yibais eyes were burning with anger, and there were hints of bone-piercing chills in his narrow long eyes. His body was burning up abnormally, especially in his lower abdomen and a strong desire was rising within him. When Wei Hongmian got close to Shao Yibai, he instantly understood the reason why he lost control, so his attitude instantly changed. Wei Hongmians face turned red and white. She bit her lip and looked at Jiao Shuzhen. The helpless look in her eyes exposed her as the protagonist of the dinner at hangmen [TN: the term is used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation that was ostensibly joyous but treacherous] Yibai, you... how can you talk to Hongmian like that? Jiao Shuzhen pretended to be calm and med her son for his impoliteness. You guys can continue eating... Im a little ufortable... I have to go out! Shao Yibai stood up and felt a little light-headed. He felt the burning pain in his lower abdomen once again and was trying to force himself to calm down. Then, he hissed, I wont being home tonight! Yibai, what happened to you? Shao Jingshan noticed that something was wrong, and he red at Jiao Shuzhen with a reproachful look in his eyes. Dad... Tell Little Yu to get a car ready... Shao Yibai supported himself with the corner of the table, and his voice was hoarse and low. His face was flushed, and there were drops of sweat dripping down the sides of his forehead. Shao Jingshan was a man of experience as he had sex with Jiao Shuzhen after he was drunk. However, Shao Yibais drinking capacity was far above his, so how could a little bit of red wine cause such a huge reaction? It seemed like his drinks were being spiked... Ridiculous! Shao Jingshan felt a wave of anger rising from his heart. Since Wei Hongmian was still present, he did not lose his temper. All he did was gave a warning re at Jiao Shuzhen who had run out of ideas on what to do right then. Little Yu, prepare a car and bring the Young Master to the hospital... Right after Shao Jingshan finished talking, the security guard, Little Yu, ran over and supported Shao Yibai with his hand. Jingshan, you... how could you? Jiao Shuzhen was getting a little anxious when she saw that Shao Yibai was about to leave and pulled onto her husbands cuff. What he did was equivalent to leaving her alone and helpless! How could you do this!! Shao Jingshan looked at Wei Hongmian and lowered his voice to scold Jiao Shuzhen, Nonsense! Such nonsense! Wei Hongmian heard it and began weeping at the side. This situation made her feel even more embarrassing than stripping off her clothes. She was the Young Mistress of the Wei Family after all. Not only was she rejected after taking the initiative, but she was also humiliated. Wei Hongmian felt as though her self-esteem had been wounded greatly. Jiao Shuzhen panicked as well. While she wasforting Wei Hongmian, she shouted t Shao Yibai, Yibai, where are you nning to go? Shao Yibai has already stepped out of the door. Ever since he was little, he had never once rebelled against his mother before, let alone shouting at her. He was a very gentleman. Nheless, he was utterly disappointed with his mother today, and his attitude became very cold. The man turned around, looked at the two women in the hall, andughed ironically. Im going to do something that you do not wish to see! After Shao Yibai finished talking, he stumbled his way to the car with the help of Little Yu. Jiao Shuzhen sat on the chair and cried along with Wei Hongmian, Oh lord! Wei Hongmian felt as though she had been insulted greatly! Shao Yibais final gaze was mocking and ruthless. She could tell by just using her toes and brain that he went to find that woman... * Shao Yibai sat in the back seat and told Little Yu the address. Then, he picked up his phone and called Su Qingcheng. The woman was eating a bowl of spicy soup on the table. She was watching a variety show andughing like a pig. Then, she heard her phone ringing and she was still very excited, Let me tell you... Its too funny, Deng Chao tearing that name off... cough-cough-cough... She could not breathe fromughing too much. A mouthful of chili oil poured into her throat, and she started coughing. Su Qingcheng grabbed a cup of water and drank a few mouthfuls immediately. She coughed so much that tears were beginning to form in her eyes. Shao Yibai who was on the other end of the phone heard her voice... Xiaodai... The mans voice was hoarse and maic as he ordered, Baby, be obedient. Take a shower and wait for me! Su Qingcheng had finally stopped coughing. She was holding the phone with a stunned expression. It seemed like she did not understand what he was saying. Are youing over? Su Qingcheng was very surprised. She looked at the night sky outside the window. She thought that he was attending a family dinner today, so he would note over. He had always respected her choices. They were in a very lovey-dovey rtionship, but they had yet to cross the line. Therefore, he would usually hang out with her during the day when he returned from the army, but he would not stay overnight. Xiaodai, listen to me... Shao Yibais breath was inconsistent. He moaned under the pain he was desperately suppressing. Su Qingcheng had always been very obedient. She quickly got up and stuffed the rest of the spicy soup into the refrigerator. Then, she took a bath towel, ran into the bathroom, and washed herself clean with the new shower gel that she bought. Only after she had changed into her pajamas and was sitting on the sofa that she came back to her senses. Why did she need to take a shower and wait for him? She could not figure it out even after she cracked her head open... Su Qingcheng was an impatient person. After waiting for a while, she saw that Shao Yibai had not arrived yet and grabbed a long-sleeved UV coat, wore it on top of the sleeveless nightdress, and went downstairs. Ten minutester, Shao Yibais car arrived at the front door of the unit. Shao Yibai saw a tiny and slender figure standing under the dim light of the streetmp through the thin mist on the ss when he was still some distance away. He wanted to bully her immediately! Shao Yibai got off the car, and his body was a little unsteady. Little Yu supported Shao Yibai along the way. He could not help but question, Isnt the young master supposed to go to the hospital since he was sick? Why did hee here? Su Qingcheng went over to him, and the first thing she said was, What happened? Did he have too much to drink? The girls sweet fragrance triggered something in him,n and his face turned red instantly. He leaned his tall body onto her and called, Xiaodai... Su Qingcheng supported Shao Yibai quickly and realized that his body was very tense. He then flung Little Yus hand off him and ordered without looking, You can leave now! Dont tell anyone that I am here... Little Yu was dumbfounded as he looked at the biased and unreasonable young master. Half of the mans weight was pressing against Su Qingcheng. For someone who worked out as often as him, his body density was a lotrger than the average man. He was as invincible as a wall made of iron and steel! Fortunately, she had gone through some training too! Su Qingcheng had enough strength to haul the burning Shao Yibai into the lift. Right when she was about to ask why did he get so drunk, her entire body was being pushed onto the wall. Then, the burning and uneasy man started kissing her lips ruthlessly... Mm... Big Brother... Shao... Su Qingchengs entire body was trembling with fear. She only managed to shout his name before her remaining words were being eaten up by his lips. His kiss was possessive, and it did not give neither of them the time to breath. Usually, Shao Yibai was able to remain deeply affectionate in his wildness when he was kissing her. It was nothing like right now. It felt like he wanted to gobble her up at this moment! He bit her pink lips and ravaged it recklessly. Each time she took a step backward, he would take a step forward. The tip of his tongue was about to reach her throat! Su Qingcheng felt the difference with his usual self. She stared wide-eyed at his beautiful face with a disbelieving expression. She whimpered softly and grabbed the corners of his shirt tightly with her little hands. Her body was being pushed against the elevator wall by Shao Yibai. She felt his burning body in front of her and the cold touch of the elevator wall behind her. He held her little face with his big hands and allowed himself to deepen the kiss. The man groaned in his throat. He could no longer suppress the urge to ravage her from deep inside his heart. If he was not worried that someone else might see her body through the surveince camera in the elevator, he would have peeled off the offending clothes on her body... Even after the elevator had arrived at her floor, the mans lips did not leave hers. He hugged her as they left the elevator and left trails of hickeys on her neck on their way out... Chapter 376 - Im Sorry, Xiaodai… I Frightened You.

Chapter 376: Im Sorry, Xiaodai... I Frightened You.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The door required a fingerprint verification. Shao Yibai caressed Su Qingcheng while unlocking the door with his fingerprint. Su Qingchengs brain turned nk and she felt her blood surging upward. Her little face had turned bright red. She called out softly as though she was a kitten, Big Brother Shao... Right after the words left her mouth, her entire body was pushed against the door, and the coldness from behind cleared her head slightly. Once they got inside the apartment, Shao Yibais began to strip off her clothes unscrupulously with his big hands. Then, he put her on top of the shoe cab and bit on her sensitive skin gently... The woman eximed, Big Brother Shao... Whats going on with you... She took in his ravaging without any resistance, but she was still puzzled and afraid. Shao Yibai was not in a rush to answer her. Instead, he kissed his way up her skin with his heated lips, leaving a trail of hickeys in his wake. Finally, the mans lips reached her ears. His scent was mingled with the smell of alcohol, and his eyes were red. He then used his hoarse voice tofort the nervous woman in his arms, Xiaodai, be good. I want you, I want you! Su Qingcheng did not know what to say. Only then did Su Qingcheng understood what Shao Yibai meant when he wanted her to shower and wait for him on the phone just now. Her little face turned red, and the top of her head was steaming hot from the make-out session! Big Brother Shao... I-Im... afraid... Su Qingchengs eyes became watery, and her swollen red lips looked seductively beautiful. Shao Yibai pressed his forehead onto hers and tried to control the desire in his heart. Then, heforted her softly, Im sorry, Xiaodai... I frightened you... No-no-no! Su Qingcheng hugged his head and murmured, I like you... As she spoke, she put her arms around his neck and move her little lips towards his. She then nted a kiss on his cheek and his forehead. She did not mind giving herself to him. The reason why she did not allow him to do so before was that she wanted to wait until the night of their marriage. However, how could she still think logically when she was so deep in love? She loved him. After experiencing a love so deep, she could no longer love someone the way she loved him in the future... After being kissed and hugged by her, the desire that Shao Yibai had forcibly suppressed just now was provoked once again. He growled lowly, carried her in his arms, and walked towards the bedroom. He continued to leave marks on her neck on the way there... Her dress had already been torn into pieces, and Shao Yibai took off his clothes in no time. Both of them were naked, and their love for each other had gotten even more intense as they look into each others eyes. Su Qingcheng shivered slightly and tried to make herself seem less nervous. Even so, her slender body trembled still under Shao Yibais roaming gaze no matter how she tried to disguise her nervousness. The ces where his big hands had caressed was triggering a numbness in her that was about to tear down the emotions that she had been brewing for a long time. The woman had no experience, all she did was moan and lose herself in his kisses... Her body was being provoked to the limit yet Shao Yibai did not take any further action. Thus, Su Qingchengined in a low and dissatisfied tone, Why dont you start? Shao Yibai could not help but smile. His little buddy down there was like a cooked lobster, and his dark eyes were filled with fog that had appeared after he was provoked. Cant wait? Shao Yibai bit on her rounded small earlobe. Im afraid that Ill hurt you. Dont be afraid... Come on... Su Qingcheng invited sincerely... Shao Yibai did not make a sound. ... (harmonious society) Su Qingcheng cried in pain. Shao Yibai panicked a little. He looked down at the woman in his arms and asked worriedly, Am I hurting you? Su Qingcheng shook her small little head and said softly with hints of pride, I can bear with it, so dont hold back... Shao Yibai was amused. She was covered in sweat yet she decided to persist so stubborn. Shao Yibai restrained himself instead of acting recklessly. He nted a kiss on her forehead and her eyelids gently! ... The intermittent crying continued untilte at night and ended when Su Qingcheng was about to pass out. There was not a single spot on her entire body that was not hurting. Once he had let himself loose, he had be the God of War in bed... Moreover, he had lost control and ravaged her twice. The woman was lying on the bed like a pile of mud now. Help me take a bath! Su Qingcheng ordered. She could not fall asleep because her entire body was sweaty. Shao Yibai was satisfied as he finally got to sleep with her. He would not even have a problem if she asked him to clean her shoes, let alone helping her take a bath! The bathroom was imbued with steam from the warm water. Su Qingcheng felt sleepy when the water flowed past the water. Shao Yibai stared at Su Qingcheng dozing off with her eyes closed. He smiled as he wiped her body. He was initially very mad at Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian for plotting against him. However, all he felt was gratitude at this moment. After giving her a bath, he wrapped a towel around her, carried her to the bed, and covered her with a cool summer quilt. He then eximed softly, How many pounds did you gain during this holiday? Hmm, around 10 pounds... Su Qingcheng had already closed her eyes, yet she did not forget to ask sweetly and delicately, Are you starting to dislike me? Shao Yibaiughed out loud and kissed her cheeks. Even if you turn into a little pig, Ill still like you! The woman snorted, turned around, and fell asleep. The moonlight was as clear as water. Even during summer in the Capital City, there was such a clear starry sky. The night sky was no longer pitch-ck, and he seemed to have seen hope... Father? Shao Yibai answered his ringing phone, and Shao Jingshan who was on the other end of the call sighed. Yibai, where are you? Your mother is very mad, and shes throwing a huge tantrum at home... Shao Jingshan was a good man. His sense of responsibility was very strong, so after he married Jiao Shuzhen, he had always loved her dearly. Shao Yibai had inherited this quality from his father. Father, Ill bring your daughter-inw back home tomorrow. Shell stop making a fuss then! As Shao Yibai spoke, his smile deepened when he turned around and saw Su Qingcheng sleeping with her limbs wide open through the apricot-colored gauze. Well then, now that the story has yed out like this, bring the girl back home and let us meet her! Shao Jingshan was a man of experience, so he naturally figured it out when he saw the look in Shao Yibais eyes when he left. Shao Jingshan hung up the phone and nced at Jiao Shuzhen who was crying profusely on the sofa. He conveyed Shao Yibais message sighed at the end, You are lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet! I cant believe ady like you would y a trick like this! Jiao Shuzhen continued to wail loudly and did not say anything. Shao Jingshans heart softhearted. He hugged his wife andforted her softly, Since the story has yed out like this, you should stop bothering that girl. Otherwise, even I cant help you when your son makes a fuss! Jiao Shuzhen still felt as if she was wronged in her heart. She was only worried about her sons future, but she was beingined about by the whole family. Then... what if he doesnt want to talk to me when hees home? Jiao Shuzhen was worried that her son might not want to see her. Shao Jingshan said with a smile, Hurry up and prepare a gift to wee your daughter-inw! Chapter 380 - You Can Never Return to the Army

Chapter 380: You Can Never Return to the Army

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tian Qi hung his head while tears glistened in the corners of his eyes. This unshakable man could not stop his tears from streaming down his face. Ive disappointed Big Brother Shao! Ive also disappointed myself... As he said this, he snuck a nce at Shao Yibai standing beside him. The mans face was ghastly. Shao Yibai sighed again. He could not bear to do this. Dont worry, that man didnt die. He wounded some of our men previously, so youre actions were impulsive, but they werent too severe based on the circumstances. Tian Qis eyes lit up when he heard this. In the future, Ill... You can never return to the army! Shao Yibai rudely interrupted him. The lightest punishment would be to strip you of your military rank so that youll never be recruited again! Su Qingcheng saw the light in Tian Qis eyes vanish instantly. When they left the detention center, Shao Yibai made a phone call to Yuan Xuan. After they exchanged pleasantries, he told Yuan Xuan about Tian Qis situation. I cant make a scene here because of my military rank. Can you contact some of uncles old subordinates to get that blockhead out? Coincidentally, Yuan Xuan was currentlycking a staff member like this. He wanted someone who was honest, quiet, highly skilled inbat and had a clean background. This Tian Qi seems like someone who was perfectly made for me. Dont worry, Ill make sure that he gets out. When that timees, hell be working for me! Yuan Xuan said with a smile. Shao Yibai heaved a sigh. Hemented, Thats my beloved disciple! I raised that boy ever since he was young and you stole him away. Im not happy about this! Yuan Xuan knew that Shao Yibai usually had his own methods of getting along with people. Although he seemed extremely ruthless and strict, he cared about his rtionships with other people. He was stern with his subordinates, but he was also empathetic toward them. Yuan Xuan consoled Shao Yibai by saying, His talents wont be wasted as one of my subordinates. Ill need more staff members once Ive returned to Luo Hai. You already know that there are a lot of people who want to cause my downfall here. Shao Yibai nodded when he heard this. When Ie back, Ill return to Luo Hai with him so that we can attend your wedding together. ... Tian Qis incident reached a conclusion quickly. Su Qingchengs heart was filled with grief, but she also rejoiced when she discovered that Tian Qis military rank was stripped and he was kicked out of the army. It was fortunate that Shao Yibai had made arrangements for him right away. There was someone in Luo Hai who needed Tian Qi to be his bodyguard. This was the best escape route for Tian Qi. ... Su Qingcheng returned to the days when she busied herself with her graduation dissertation. Since Jiao Shuzhen had acknowledged her as her daughter-inw, it was time to prepare for her wedding now. Shao Yibai was swamped with work in the military, so he left the two women to deal with this on their own. On one hand, Su Qingcheng was still young. On the other, she had no connections in Capital City. She could neither help with the small nor the important matter, so it seemed like Jiao Shuzhen was making all the decisions on her own. Su Qingcheng had handed in her information for the political screening. Since she was an unregistered person, information about her past could not be found anywhere. She had neither a registered permit nor an identity card before she came to Capital City. She did not even have a credit card of her own. The people who were in charge of the political screening advised the Shao Family to help her obtain a permit and an identity card first at least. Only then would she be a true citizen of Country Z. Su Qingcheng was tasked to return to her old home first. She was extremely reluctant to return to that old ce. However, in order for her marriage to Shao Yibai to proceed smoothly, she was forced to return to her old province to confirm her identity. This was unavoidable. She was going to have to see her parents again... Shao Yibai knew that Su Qingchengs heart was filled with sorrow. Heforted her by saying, They made certain contributions when they raised you. Although they didnt meet the mark as good parentster on, you still share blood ties with them in the end. If you dont want to see them in the future, you dont have to do that anymore. Su Qingchengs heart was consoled. She simply needed to wait for the results of their premarital health checkup before she could return to her old home and resolve the problems regarding the proof of her identity. Normally, the premarital health checkup could be donest, but Shao Yibai needed to attend the Yuan Familys wedding in Luo Hai soon, so Jiao Shuzhen had arranged for the couple to do the premarital examination together beforehand. Su Qingcheng could not help but admit that this was a troublesome process. She was an exceptionally fit person, but she had to say she was exhausted after having to go to the hospital for two days in a row. There were semen tests, gic diagnosis, chromosomal analysis, electrocardiograms, ultrasounds, endocrine examinations, biopsies, and IQ tests... When Shao Yibai noticed that the young woman was squirming about impatiently, he consoled her in a small voice, These tests are necessary to ensure that we can have a healthy baby in the future. Su Qingcheng did not grasp what he meant. She widened her eyes and looked at Shao Yibai. Does that mean that I cant marry you if my body isnt up to standard? Shao Yibai did not know how to respond to her silliness but tough. No matter what happens, youre still mine. These tests are merely things that people in the militarypound and the sons of the aristocratic families have to go through. Su Qingcheng finally rxed. The results would onlye out half a monthter. Fortunately, Su Qingcheng would be busy with her internship and ceased to worry about the matter no more. Shao Yibai began his preparations to leave for Luo Hai. He would only return one monthter after he left. Deep down, he was reluctant to leave his future wife. The man brought some food and red wine to Su Qingchengs apartment. He seemed unusually enthusiastic. That was because he was actually harboring impure intentions all along. Unfortunately, young Xiaodai failed to see through his little schemes. Once she had gulped down several sses of red wine, Su Qingchengs low tolerance for alcohol was exposed. Her flushed little face felt as though it was about to burn up soon while her head felt heavy and dizzy. Her vision was blurry when she nced at Shao Yibai. Big Brother Shao... Your head... Why do you have two heads? The womans voice was delicate and sweet. The corners of her lips were stretched into a wide smile as though she had truly found a rare treasure. Shao Yibai snatched the wine ss from her hand when he heard that. He wanted her to drink some alcohol to lighten the mood, but it seemed like this girl had drunk just a little too much. Why wont you let me drink... Su Qingcheng sounded rather annoyed. She reached her little hand out to wrench the wine ss back, but her limbs were not cooperating, so she leaned headfirst into him. Shao Yibai carried her in his arms and held her against his chest. The handsome mans breathing started bing unsteady. His lips were tinged with the scent of alcohol, but he pressed them against her ears. Youve had too much to drink. I wont be able to do what Ive nned in a while! Su Qingcheng narrowed her eyes. She had trouble understanding him. What do you mean? I want you! said Shao Yibai boldly. This man was truly shameless at this moment. Since she was already drunk, he did not care about anything anymore. Su Qingcheng spent a long time thinking, but she could not fullyprehend the meaning behind his words. She simply cocked her head to one side and rubbed it against his shoulder. This forced the man to suppress the heat that was burning throughout his entire body... Xiaodai, do you know that this is very dangerous? Shao Yibais voice was unimaginably hoarse. He tightened his grip around the womans limp body in his arms. He had failed to have his way with her ever since their very first time together. He certainly wanted to do it again, but that silly woman merely said, Well be married soon. Why are you rushing? She wanted to resist and had voiced her disapproval in a roundabout manner. She did not yearn for things like this. These situations had urred because of the pain that she had previously felt. Apparently, she was afraid of pain... Shao Yibai felt that matters of the heart could only be solved by getting to the core of the issue. He rewarded her with a feast today so that he could achieve his goal. Chapter 378 - Her Future Mother-In-Law Finally Acknowledged Her as Family…

Chapter 378: Her Future Mother-In-Law Finally Acknowledged Her as Family...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng had guessed correctly. Jiao Shuzhen had prepared a feast for lunch because she knew that she was at fault. She paced along the balcony on the second floor, hoping that her son would return soon. The Shao Family had excellent traits and the members of that family were outstanding. The parents were loving and their kids were filial. The harmonious atmosphere in the family had allowed Shao Yibai to mature into a tough yet kind-hearted man. The family did things in a democratic manner. Although Shao Jingshan had interfered with Shao Yibais work before because he was worried for his safety, he would still respect Shao Yibais decisions in the end. Shao Yibais rxed personality had been cultivated in this way. Unfortunately, Jiao Shuzhen had drugged her son yesterday. Her actions could definitely be seen as a destructive attack on the harmonious atmosphere in the family. Although Shao Yibai was an arrogant and uninhibited man, he had inherited his fathers conservative style of thinking that emphasized filial piety for ones parents. Wei Hongmians family would not simply allow him to get up and leave either. If he had really slept with Wei Hongmian yesterday, he would be left with no alternative today. Thus, one could imagine why Jiao Shuzhen became increasingly afraid when she realized that Shao Yibai would certainly resent her for that. He was her only son. When she met Shao Yibais cold and mocking gazest night, she finally realized Su Qingchengs importance to Shao Yibai. Jiao Shuzhen did not dare to lose her son simply due to the matter of him marrying which women as her future daughter-inw. The final dish was served on the table when the antique English grandfather clock struck twelve times. The guard jogged over to meet Shao Yibais car that was parked at the entrance. Su Qingcheng hid behind Shao Yibai and matched his pace. This day had finally arrived after such a long wait. She finally revealed how frightened she was. She seemed more anxious today than the previous time when Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian came to force her out. Xiaodai, dont be afraid. My father is a kind man. Shao Yibai carried the gift in one hand and held Su Qingchengs hand in the other. He had fought with Jiao Shuzhen before, but that did not mean that he would be unreasonable. They went to the department store early in the morning so that they could buy some presents on Su Qingchengs behalf. Su Qingcheng currently felt that she was not prepared to do this. She took the gift from Shao Yibai and trailed behind him by taking one small step after another. Shao Yibais expression became more and more rxed as he took in the furnishings in the courtyard. Inside the courtyard, Shao Jingshan had traded his military uniform for a gray-colored set of traditional Chinese clothing that made him look energetic and invigorated. Father, Ive brought Xiaodai home to meet you. Shao Yibai walked toward him and pulled his future wife over from behind. Su Qingcheng smiled. Her voice was crisp as she said, Hello, uncle. Im Su Qingdai. Shao Jingshan studied thedy and smiled. This girl was not extremely attractive, but her watery eyes were clean and free from murkiness. She did not put on any makeup. She was dressed in a very simple style of clothing that made others feelfortable being around her. Her milky-white dress made her look like a unique beauty that most fathers liked... Yibai, hurry up and take Little Su inside. Your mother has gotten anxious just from waiting for you. Shao Jingshan led the way while urging them to go inside the house. Jiao Shuzhen had actually heard them arriving at the entrance long ago, but she did not appear to greet them because she was secretly afraid of Shao Yibai. Shao Yibai took long strides and entered the house. He increased the volume of his voice and yelled in an exaggerated manner, What kind of tasty food has Lady Jiao prepared? I think I can smell chilies! Jiao Shuzhen heard her son was not about to me her at all. Moreover, he even called her Lady Jiao in an affectionate manner. Her jittery heart had finally settled down. She went to greet them enthusiastically and took the present from Su Qingcheng. She murmured, You didnt have to bring a present. Youre already part of our family. Su Qingchengs heart was filled with joy. Her future mother-inw finally acknowledged her as part of the family... Su Qingcheng did not show what she was feeling though. She had made a secret agreement with Jiao Shuzhen. The two women acted as though this was their first meeting as they exchanged greetings with each other for a while. Shao Yibai was extremely delighted when he saw this. He had no idea about the thrilling meeting that had previously urred between Jiao Shuzhen, Wei Hongmian, and Su Qingcheng... More than half of the dishes on the table were Si Chuan dishes. They suited Su Qingchengs taste very much. Nevertheless, she was forced to restrain herself since this was the first time she paid them a visit as their daughter-inw. Su Qingcheng pretended that she was not a glutton. Her eyes scanned the dishes indifferently... She would happily admit that it was difficult for her to keep up with this facade. A single nce was enough for her to tell that the food on the table was different from the things that were served in the restaurants outside. It was definitely cooked by an authentic Si Chuan chef. Fortunately, Jiao Shuzhen gave her an opening when they all sat down. Little Su, please try the food and tell us if it tastes authentic. Your uncle invited two Si Chuan chefs from thepound. They spent the entire morning cooking this. Shao Yibaiughed. Were they Uncle Qians chefs? Shao Jingshan nodded. Our family doesnt eat spicy food, but Uncle Qian cant do without it. Thats why his chef makes the best spicy food throughout the entire militarypound. Try the spicy rabbits head. The chef brought it from Old Qians house because he stewed it in advance. Su Qingcheng could not help be touched. Thank you, uncle and aunty... Although she had had enough to eat at home, there were still too many children in her house on top of the fact that they were terribly poor, so it was her two older brothers who got to enjoy dishes like spicy rabbits head. She was extremely obedient, so she was the daughter that was the easiest to be neglected among the three of them. Unfortunately, her parents realized that she was the most valuable one when they were deciding on which daughter to sell... Now she stood before such an illustrious family as the Shao Family. Shao Jingshan had actually looked highly upon her by filling their table with spicy dishes even though the lord of the house did not eat them. She wanted to cry... As a child, her parents had never really loved her. Giving her a mere lollipop was enough to make her cry from gratitude, much less a te filled with spicy rabbit heads. Do you like the dishes? Shao Yibai watched as she gobbled down the food happily. He was a tough man who was neither afraid of pain nor death, but he feared spicy food... Su Qingcheng could feel her lips swollen, but this meal was simply too addictive for her to stop. She nodded her head like a chick pecking at grains. Its delicious! Do you want to try some? Shao Yibai shook his head hurriedly. The cuisine in Capital City was salty but did not have any strong vors. His heart was filled with joy when he saw that Su Qingcheng was eating without holding herself back, but he still felt worried. Is it too spicy? Can your stomach handle it? Su Qingcheng wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue paper. Im used to eating spicy food. I have to eat more today. Otherwise, uncle and auntys kindness will be wasted... Shao Jingshan was happy to hear that. Youre right, Little Su. Have some more. After that, you can take some stewed meat home with you. Jiao Shuzhen could not ept Su Qingchengs family background in the beginning. Now she saw that this girl carried her heart on her sleeve and was not superficial at all. Although she could not bepared to the elegant and wealthy youngdies of the aristocratic families, her ordinary and down-to-earth personality made people feel at ease around her. She sighed quietly. The woman whom she desired as her daughter-inw sat at this very tablest night, but someone else was sitting in that spot today. Nheless, Jiao Shuzhen had resigned herself to this turn of events. After lunch, Jiao Shuzhen dragged Shao Yibai over to the sofa and sat him there. She mentioned out of nowhere, Yuan Xuan has returned to the country for several days. Hes going to marry the youngdy of the Mu Family after some time, so you should go to Luo Hai. Chapter 379 - If You Dont Pass the Political Screening, Ill Just Strip off My Military

Chapter 379: If You Dont Pass the Political Screening, Ill Just Strip off My Military Uniform and Marry You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai chuckled when he heard that Yuan Xuan was about to get married so soon. That little boy actually beat me to it in the end! Jiao Shuzhen red at him and rebuked, Dont be rude. Yuan Xuan is older than you after all. Su Qingcheng had yet to meet Yuan Xuan, but she could deduce from his tone of voice that the two men were close. Shao Yibai pondered for some time before a bright light shed across his handsome face. Father, mother, why dont I get married at the same time as Yuan Xuan? Shao Jingshan and Jiao Shuzhen exchanged a nce while Su Qingchengs face reddened. Shao Yibai had actually brought up the topic of marriage on their first visit to his parents. Was he not being too hasty? Jiao Shuzhen was upset by the proposition, but she would never say anything too bad in front of Su Qingcheng. She merely reproached him by saying, You should already know that the militarypound is so vast. Do you think that its a trifling matter for the Shao Family to wee our daughter-inw? The preparations for this event on their own will have to take a year! Are you sure itll take that long? Well, Shao Yibai had clearly never gotten married before... Your father has his old subordinates, oldrades, and his previous instructors. Did you forget that we have to invite them beforehand? We also have to make preparations in advance for the banquet and the bridal photo shoot. rambled Jiao Shuzhen. Shao Jingshan who was sitting on one side voiced his disagreement with a wave of hisrge hand. Our country is encouraging us to cut down on our expenses now. We must answer the call and go about everything in the simplest way possible. When Jiao Shuzhen thought about it, she realized that what he said make sense as well. Well, we must prepare at least the most basic of routines. Anyway, we have to wait for a while for Little Sus information for the political screening to be approved, right? You have to do the premarital health checkup as well. We cant leave these things out... Su Qingcheng nced at Shao Yibai with her big glistening eyes. Only now did she realize that marrying this man was not as simple as she had imagined. His parents had agreed to it, but the country had to give their consent as well... Shao Yibai sighed. Xiaodai doesnt have a registered permit! Su Qingcheng lowered her head when she saw how shocked Jiao Shuzhen had looked. Are you saying that Little Su is an unregistered resident? Does she even have an identity card? Shao Jingshan was a little surprised as well. Due to his position in the military, it would probably be risky if his son married a stateless and unregistered woman. There are five children in her family, but her parents had never registered her nor her siblings. I helped her obtain a temporary identity card because she needed one to be put on record for her studies. Shao Yibai only knew what Su Chingcheng had told him about her family. Shao Jingshan and his wife exchanged a nce. They were in awe as they only had one child. The Wei Family had three children due to special circumstances. Most of the other children in the militarypound did not have any siblings, but the Su Family actually had five children... Su Qingcheng instantly felt that her status made her seem terribly lowly. She tugged at the corners of her skirt and realized that she might had just been a little too optimistic earlier on. Shao Yibai held her hand and consoled her. If you dont pass the political screening, Ill still marry you even if Ill have to chuck away my military uniform! Shao Jingshan was shocked when he heard those words leave Shao Yibais mouth. Shao Jingshan knew how much his son had loved this uniform. Today, he was actually willing to boldly discard that uniform for the sake of a woman... Father, I know that you really wanted your influence to be passed on to me. That thought never left my mind as well, said Shao Yibai with a smile. However, as a man, what kind of person would I be if I couldnt even protect my own little family? There are many ways for a good man to protect his country. Ive realized that Ive contributed a lot to this nation by fighting in the special forces all these years. Once Ive started my own family, Id like to change to a profession thats less dangerous. Jiao Shuzhen would definitely support Shao Yibai when he made decisions like this. Thank heavens, youve finally sobered up. You carry guns and fight here and there every day to maintain the peace and to catch the criminals out there. Im always worried about you and nearly frightened to death every time... Deep down, Su Qingcheng was aware that Shao Yibai was making a huge sacrifice by doing this. He was devoted to the military camp. * Shao Yibai sent her back to her apartment after they left the Shao household. Both of them had made substantial progress in their rtionship. Shao Yibai would never ept it if one were to ask him to experience the bitter days of the past again. Although they could not make love every night, it would be enough for them to do it once when he returned every month. On the other hand, the policy allowed people in his position to bring family members with them. Thus, Shao Yibai turned to Su Qingcheng and asked, Why dont I take you to see Tian Qi when youre doing your internship? Su Qingcheng was foolishly unaware of Shao Yibais actual intentions. It was true that she had not seen Tian Qi for a long time. Her heart was filled with joy at this idea. Su Qingcheng moved out of the schools dorms two months after her sses started. As an outstanding student who was about to graduate, she was given a referral to do her internship at the police headquarters that was responsible for the area near her apartment. Every day, her life grew further away from a student and more inclined to be a part of the society. When she left the vast and remote mountain area, she turned from a victim into someone who could help others. She was very excited and relieved at this transformation. Before Shao Yibai could keep his promise to take her to the military camp to see Tian Qi, some bad news arrived instead. Tian Qi had directed a violent attack on one of the captives while he was carrying out a mission. This incident was not terribly severe, but it was not a small matter either. The important point was that Tian Qi was more skilled at fighting than the average person. Moreover, he had no sense of proper limits. The prisoner was already sentenced to death, but Tian Qi continued to attack him. Several punchester, the mans spleen had rupturedpletely. If they had not rescued him in time, his insignificant life would have been lost. The consequences for matters that involved grievous injuries were extremely dire. Unfortunately, someone had recorded a video of Tian Qi assaulting the man. This incident was spread around like wildfire the moment it was uploaded online. The keyboard warriors and the gossipers took this incident out of context, and numerous articles that were intended to nder the military soon popped up online... Their superiors immediately formed an internal investigative group in the army to investigate the incident. If Tian Qi was proven to be guilty, he would be brought to trial in the military court. Shao Yibai was so furious he jumped up in anger. He had single-handedly mentored this soldier. Furthermore, he had looked highly upon Tian Qi all this while because of his personal friendship with Su Qingcheng. Tian Qi was a stubborn blockhead, but his heart was pure. People like him were suitable to be in the army because they were loyal to their country. Once he left the army, he would be useless in society. Both of them had suffered as children and had experienced what it was like on the brink of death. Su Qingcheng even regarded Tian Qi as her family. Su Qingcheng became extremely anxious when she heard that Tian Qi was captured. She tearfully begged Shao Yibai to save Tian Qi. Shao Yibai bribed the internal and external parties so that he could mediate between both sides. He managed to get Su Qingcheng to visit Tian Qi at the detention center with great difficulty. Su Qingcheng was happy with the news. She prepared some food and followed Shao Yibai to the detention center. However, this was not a happy ce. Now that Tian Qi had removed his military uniform, he did not look as mighty as before. Sitting in the detention center, he was separated from them by several metal bars. Su Qingcheng saw that the young man was dressed in the standardized prison uniform, and he looked terribly upset. Tian Qi... Su Qingcheng called his name in a small voice. She found this unbearable. Youre an idiot. Why did you attack him? Tian Qi was much thinner now than he was before, and his sunken eye sockets were darkened. Xiaodai, that man was a human trafficker. He had managed to escape from getting caught all this time. When he kidnapped the girls, he would... He would do horrible things to them first before selling them to South-East Asia... When Su Qingcheng heard this, she instantly understood why Tian Qi had attacked that man even after he was captured. He had definitely witnessed those extremely brutal scenes when he was saving the hostages. He still remembered the time when she was almost assaulted at the Yunnan-Burma Junction. Idiot. Youre really an idiot... Su Qingcheng could not help but burst into tears. Whats going to happen to you in the future? Chapter 380 - You Can Never Return to the Army

Chapter 380: You Can Never Return to the Army

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tian Qi hung his head while tears glistened in the corners of his eyes. This unshakable man could not stop his tears from streaming down his face. Ive disappointed Big Brother Shao! Ive also disappointed myself... As he said this, he snuck a nce at Shao Yibai standing beside him. The mans face was ghastly. Shao Yibai sighed again. He could not bear to do this. Dont worry, that man didnt die. He wounded some of our men previously, so youre actions were impulsive, but they werent too severe based on the circumstances. Tian Qis eyes lit up when he heard this. In the future, Ill... You can never return to the army! Shao Yibai rudely interrupted him. The lightest punishment would be to strip you of your military rank so that youll never be recruited again! Su Qingcheng saw the light in Tian Qis eyes vanish instantly. When they left the detention center, Shao Yibai made a phone call to Yuan Xuan. After they exchanged pleasantries, he told Yuan Xuan about Tian Qis situation. I cant make a scene here because of my military rank. Can you contact some of uncles old subordinates to get that blockhead out? Coincidentally, Yuan Xuan was currentlycking a staff member like this. He wanted someone who was honest, quiet, highly skilled inbat and had a clean background. This Tian Qi seems like someone who was perfectly made for me. Dont worry, Ill make sure that he gets out. When that timees, hell be working for me! Yuan Xuan said with a smile. Shao Yibai heaved a sigh. Hemented, Thats my beloved disciple! I raised that boy ever since he was young and you stole him away. Im not happy about this! Yuan Xuan knew that Shao Yibai usually had his own methods of getting along with people. Although he seemed extremely ruthless and strict, he cared about his rtionships with other people. He was stern with his subordinates, but he was also empathetic toward them. Yuan Xuan consoled Shao Yibai by saying, His talents wont be wasted as one of my subordinates. Ill need more staff members once Ive returned to Luo Hai. You already know that there are a lot of people who want to cause my downfall here. Shao Yibai nodded when he heard this. When Ie back, Ill return to Luo Hai with him so that we can attend your wedding together. ... Tian Qis incident reached a conclusion quickly. Su Qingchengs heart was filled with grief, but she also rejoiced when she discovered that Tian Qis military rank was stripped and he was kicked out of the army. It was fortunate that Shao Yibai had made arrangements for him right away. There was someone in Luo Hai who needed Tian Qi to be his bodyguard. This was the best escape route for Tian Qi. ... Su Qingcheng returned to the days when she busied herself with her graduation dissertation. Since Jiao Shuzhen had acknowledged her as her daughter-inw, it was time to prepare for her wedding now. Shao Yibai was swamped with work in the military, so he left the two women to deal with this on their own. On one hand, Su Qingcheng was still young. On the other, she had no connections in Capital City. She could neither help with the small nor the important matter, so it seemed like Jiao Shuzhen was making all the decisions on her own. Su Qingcheng had handed in her information for the political screening. Since she was an unregistered person, information about her past could not be found anywhere. She had neither a registered permit nor an identity card before she came to Capital City. She did not even have a credit card of her own. The people who were in charge of the political screening advised the Shao Family to help her obtain a permit and an identity card first at least. Only then would she be a true citizen of Country Z. Su Qingcheng was tasked to return to her old home first. She was extremely reluctant to return to that old ce. However, in order for her marriage to Shao Yibai to proceed smoothly, she was forced to return to her old province to confirm her identity. This was unavoidable. She was going to have to see her parents again... Shao Yibai knew that Su Qingchengs heart was filled with sorrow. Heforted her by saying, They made certain contributions when they raised you. Although they didnt meet the mark as good parentster on, you still share blood ties with them in the end. If you dont want to see them in the future, you dont have to do that anymore. Su Qingchengs heart was consoled. She simply needed to wait for the results of their premarital health checkup before she could return to her old home and resolve the problems regarding the proof of her identity. Normally, the premarital health checkup could be donest, but Shao Yibai needed to attend the Yuan Familys wedding in Luo Hai soon, so Jiao Shuzhen had arranged for the couple to do the premarital examination together beforehand. Su Qingcheng could not help but admit that this was a troublesome process. She was an exceptionally fit person, but she had to say she was exhausted after having to go to the hospital for two days in a row. There were semen tests, gic diagnosis, chromosomal analysis, electrocardiograms, ultrasounds, endocrine examinations, biopsies, and IQ tests... When Shao Yibai noticed that the young woman was squirming about impatiently, he consoled her in a small voice, These tests are necessary to ensure that we can have a healthy baby in the future. Su Qingcheng did not grasp what he meant. She widened her eyes and looked at Shao Yibai. Does that mean that I cant marry you if my body isnt up to standard? Shao Yibai did not know how to respond to her silliness but tough. No matter what happens, youre still mine. These tests are merely things that people in the militarypound and the sons of the aristocratic families have to go through. Su Qingcheng finally rxed. The results would onlye out half a monthter. Fortunately, Su Qingcheng would be busy with her internship and ceased to worry about the matter no more. Shao Yibai began his preparations to leave for Luo Hai. He would only return one monthter after he left. Deep down, he was reluctant to leave his future wife. The man brought some food and red wine to Su Qingchengs apartment. He seemed unusually enthusiastic. That was because he was actually harboring impure intentions all along. Unfortunately, young Xiaodai failed to see through his little schemes. Once she had gulped down several sses of red wine, Su Qingchengs low tolerance for alcohol was exposed. Her flushed little face felt as though it was about to burn up soon while her head felt heavy and dizzy. Her vision was blurry when she nced at Shao Yibai. Big Brother Shao... Your head... Why do you have two heads? The womans voice was delicate and sweet. The corners of her lips were stretched into a wide smile as though she had truly found a rare treasure. Shao Yibai snatched the wine ss from her hand when he heard that. He wanted her to drink some alcohol to lighten the mood, but it seemed like this girl had drunk just a little too much. Why wont you let me drink... Su Qingcheng sounded rather annoyed. She reached her little hand out to wrench the wine ss back, but her limbs were not cooperating, so she leaned headfirst into him. Shao Yibai carried her in his arms and held her against his chest. The handsome mans breathing started bing unsteady. His lips were tinged with the scent of alcohol, but he pressed them against her ears. Youve had too much to drink. I wont be able to do what Ive nned in a while! Su Qingcheng narrowed her eyes. She had trouble understanding him. What do you mean? I want you! said Shao Yibai boldly. This man was truly shameless at this moment. Since she was already drunk, he did not care about anything anymore. Su Qingcheng spent a long time thinking, but she could not fullyprehend the meaning behind his words. She simply cocked her head to one side and rubbed it against his shoulder. This forced the man to suppress the heat that was burning throughout his entire body... Xiaodai, do you know that this is very dangerous? Shao Yibais voice was unimaginably hoarse. He tightened his grip around the womans limp body in his arms. He had failed to have his way with her ever since their very first time together. He certainly wanted to do it again, but that silly woman merely said, Well be married soon. Why are you rushing? She wanted to resist and had voiced her disapproval in a roundabout manner. She did not yearn for things like this. These situations had urred because of the pain that she had previously felt. Apparently, she was afraid of pain... Shao Yibai felt that matters of the heart could only be solved by getting to the core of the issue. He rewarded her with a feast today so that he could achieve his goal. Chapter 381 - Could His Lust Ever Be Satisfied?

Chapter 381: Could His Lust Ever Be Satisfied?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Su Qingchengs cor was slightly wide, more than half of her shoulders were exposed when she moved. Now that she grew her hair out, the long strands messily hung over her shoulders. Her vision seemed blurry as her eyes had misted over. She pouted her thin lips andined, Whats so dangerous? You dont have to be afraid... Ill protect you... People would want to take advantage of her when she appeared weak and gentle like this... What if I told you that I was the bad person who wanted to bully you? Shao Yibai intentionally lowered his voice. He rubbed himself against her ears and repeatedly blew hot air inside. She hated that ticklish feeling very much, she shook her furry head trying to avoid the sts of air that he stirred up near her sensitive spots. Youre not... A bad person... Su Qingcheng was very loyal. She was wholeheartedly devoted to Shao Yibai. She would not believe it even if everyone else said that he was an evil person. Yes, Im not a bad person. However, I really want to do naughty things with you tonight... As he said this, Shao Yibai unashamedly kissed her lips while hisrge hands frantically explored her body. He set about his task while he led her to the bedroom at the same time. The womans little face had gradually turned redder by the time he pressed her down on the light orange-coloredrge bed. It might be a reaction caused by the alcohol, but she did not resist him at all. Rather, she was cooperating with his actions. Help me take my clothes off! ordered Shao Yibai. Su Qingcheng obediently reached her hands out and helped him unfasten his buttons. All of his muscles were well formed. Men like him always looked like they were extremely vigorous as they were brimming with stamina. During romantic encounters, they caused women to... When Su Qingcheng stroked those taut parts with her little hands, she quietly eximed, So handsome... Do you like it? Shao Yibai chuckled quietly. He liked it when she was infatuated with him. Su Qingcheng nodded her head resembling a chick that was pecking at grains. She ran her little hands over him and said, I do! In the future, will all of this belong to me? Shao Yibais smile became more apparent. He kissed her little nose and made a promise. Itll all be yours. As long as youre a good girl, you can touch me anytime you wish. Shao Yibai started to tease every inch of her body. A little whileter, the woman writhed like a little snake underneath his body. Ill never drink alcohol again... I dont feel good... Its so hot... Her smooth skin started sweating as it turned red from the warmth. Sheined while she anxiously grabbed his shoulders. Good girl, Ill help you cool down now. ... 1 Shao Yibai had thoroughly restrained himself, but the woman continued to moan quietly. She had faintly sobered up. Her glistening doe-like eyes looked at Shao Yibai in disbelief while she pouted her little mouth. Her voice sounded delicately sweet as sheined, In the end, youre still a bad person! When Shao Yibai realized that she was not afraid anymore, he knew that he did not have to restrain himself around her either. The desires that he usually suppressed now poured out of him like an erupting volcano. This was the second time that he had ravaged Su Qingcheng. However, he seemed much gentler now than he did the previous time. Being the person who initiated this, Shao Yibai was clear-headed. During romantic encounters like this, he possessed the innate skills of certain men that allowed them to naturally assume the dominant role. ... Su Qingcheng never knew that there were so many different positions in the world that were just waiting to be explored by her. Furthermore, she did not know that a highly restrained man like Shao Yibai would act like a beast and spare no effort when he encountered a woman that he liked... She was extremely exhausted after being tormented. This was more tiring than any of the physical training sessions that she had experienced. It seemed like she had been dreaming for a long time. In her dream, she carried a sandbag on her back and ran for 20 kilometers. Her legs were numb while her waist and back hurt. After that, she dreamed that she did 500 deep squats. Was that the reason why she could not keep her legs closed? ... She fell into a deep sleep for some time, ignoring the sticky sweaty feeling all over her body. She did not even care about taking a shower anymore, it was more important for her to stay alive. The sky would turn bright soon. She felt a burdensome weight on her body again. She quietly murmured, I dont want... She waved her hand and attempted to push off the sandbag that was weighing down on her body. No... No... She wanted to cry, but she could not open her eyes. Be a good girl, Xiaodai. This is thest time. ... Could his lust ever be satisfied? Su Qingcheng felt like she had been tricked. If she married a man like this, could she still live peacefully in the future? The passionate encounters between people should have stopped when dawn arrived. The sun had finally stopped hiding now as well. The woman was deeply buried underneath the nkets. One of her arms was exposed, and with intertwining purplish bruises and red marks on it. Shao Yibai came out of the bathroom and nced at the woman who looked incredibly exhausted. He smiled before he turned around and went to the kitchen. He got himself busy preparing a nourishing soup, little rolled buns, and delicious side dishes like a steamed egg with vegetables. Once he was done, he took his cell phone from the table and yed some rxing music next to the womans ear. It was a ssical, old song with a soothing melody. Su Qingcheng opened her eyes and gave a smile that was equally charming, sweet, and adorable. She raised her hand and pinched his shoulder and said, I knew that you were evil. She only realized this after he had his way with her. The corners of Shao Yibais lips stretched as he grinned happily. Im going to Luo Hai for a while and I wont be able to see you for a while. Shouldnt you give me a treat before I leave? Shao Yibai lowered his head and nted a scorching kiss on her shoulder when he said that. Su Qingcheng whimpered. * During the next few days, the man abandoned his need to fulfill his desires. Su Qingcheng had considerably good stamina, but he had tormented her quite severely nheless. She felt rather relieved the moment the man stepped inside the ne. It felt like she was giving herself a break. That mans lust was truly too intense... Su Qingchengs cell phone suddenly rang as she was returning from the airport. It was Jiao Shuzhen. Although the date of their wedding was approaching, Jiao Shuzhen onlymunicated with her when it was absolutely necessary. When Jiao Shuzhen called her just as soon as Shao Yibai had left, Su Qingcheng was slightly worried. Aunty? Su Qingcheng greeted her quietly. On the other line, it seemed like Jiao Shuzhen had just finished crying. Her voice was very faint. Little Su, could youe over? I need to tell you something. * Shao Family Mansion This was not Su Qingchengs first time here. She was slightly anxious the previous time, but Shao Yibai was there to apany her. Moreover, she was filled with anticipation and hope for her future. This time, she was gued by indescribable feelings of sorrow and disappointment. Jiao Shuzhen was sitting on the sofa opposite Su Qingcheng while Shao Jingshan sat beside her and smoked. His gaze was terribly haggard and weary. Uncle, aunty, if you have something to say, just tell me! Su Qingchengs hands and feet were cold as she held the health checkup report that Jiao Shuzhen passed to her. The results of the diagnosis were typed out on the report. It stated that they would only have a 5% chance of fertility due to a chromosomal ipatibility... Little Su... Do you know what this means? Jiao Shuzhens tears streamed down her face uncontrobly as she said this. She had already cried for half an hour. Frankly, she had not stopped crying ever since she received the results of the premarital health examination. Aunty, please be direct with me. I dont really understand these medical terms... Just tell me what to do and Ill do it... Su Qingcheng forced a smile. Although she did not understand, that report clearly stated her and Shao Yibai suffered from rare chromosomal incapability that was rarely seen in the medical field! Footnotes:

Chapter 382: Im Going to Leave Capital City Before Shao Yibai Returns

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The probability of getting pregnant in situations like these was very low. They could try in vitro fertilization, but there was a high chance that the baby would be miscarried before it reached full term. The mothers body would treat the fertilized egg as a foreign body and expel it... Little Su, if you marry Shao Yibai, you might... You might... You might not be able to have your own children throughout your entire lives... Jiao Shuzhen was truly troubled by this matter. Su Qingcheng held the report tightly. She lowered her gaze and stared firmly at the words on the report. The words kept getting clearer, but her memories and consciousness got blurrier. She recalled the worrying dream that she recently had. All of the happiness that she possessed vanished into thin air when she woke up. She was not lucky enough to love a respectable man who felt the same way about her. It was impossible that everything would work out so perfectly. Everything was over now because she had awakened from her dream. She was back to square one. Aunty, are the results of this examination final? Su Qingcheng had yet to fully ept this. The people in the mountains where she grew up in simply got married and had children without thinking. People like her who were unregistered citizens were the result of families having too many children. She never imagined that people would predict whether they would have children in the future before they were even married... No, theyre not. Thats why your uncle and I discussed this. We were nning to take you and Yibais samples to another reputable hospital to be tested again. Jiao Shuzhen did not hide this from her. They had prepared two sets of their samples beforehand because it was difficult for Shao Yibai to move freely while he was in the army. He was currently in Luo Hai, but that did not affect anything. Su Qingcheng closed her eyes. Deep down, she fully understood this already. The institution that did theirboratory tests belonged to one of the bigger and more renowned hospitals in Capital City. They would get the same results even if they were to go to another hospital. Due to this, Jiao Shuzhen cried and turned into a mess when she saw the results. Her son had decided on this woman whether Jiao Shuzhen liked her future daughter-inw or not. Judging from Shao Yibais reaction, he would remain faithful to Su Qingcheng even if she was unable to bear him children. Thus, Jiao Shuzhen was worried that the Shao Familys line would end here in the future. Aunty, regardless of the oue, you dont have to worry. I wont act selfishly... I wont selfishly put myself first... Im not going to trouble you if Im truly unable to marry Shao Yibai! It was extremely difficult for Su Qingcheng to say this. Herplexion was ashen and the world that she had built in her mind suddenly copsed when she thought about the possibility of her leaving Shao Yibai in the future. Jiao Shuzhen did not dare to believe the things that she heard. Shao Jingshan was also slightly shocked by this. Due to the Shao Familys status and financial circumstances, most people would desperately struggle even when issues like this cropped up. They would strive for a chance for themselves. Unlike this stupid girl, they would never easily give up! Little Su, you... How can wepensate you? Jiao Shuzhen blurted out. In her mind, she could not allow her son to just sleep with this woman for nothing if he did not marry her... Su Qingcheng bitterlyughed when she saw the look of disbelief on their faces. Her voice was not loud, but she spoke in an extremely earnest and steady manner. Aunty, I dont want any form ofpensation. Big Brother Shao has already given me enough. I have an education and the ability to work now, so I can survive on my own... Shao Jingshan was slightly reluctant to ept that. He waved hisrge hand. In a low and muffled voice, he said, How could we let you do that? Is the Shao Family filled with such unsympathetic people? Little Su, neither you nor Jiao Shuzhen should panic regarding this matter. You should get the tests done again and well see what happens after that! Su Qingcheng nodded. Ill go along and do whatever you want me to do, but there are some things that I have to tell you first. Three generations of the Shao Family only had one son each, but your familys bloodline is not going to end with Shao Yibai because of me! I love him very much... I love him so much that... I dont even know who I am anymore... Su Qingcheng choked back her sobs for a while. I came from lowly origins, so being loved by him was clearly a blessing from God. He saved me, and I saved him too. Were not trying to get anything from each other. Were purely in love. If I love him, I must be willing to make sacrifices... I know that Shao Yibai loves children... Su Qingchengs tears finally came streaming down as she could not hold them back anymore. Shao Jingshan and his wifes hearts were filled with sorrow when they witnessed this. Jiao Shuzhen took some tissue papers and passed it to Su Qingcheng. Little Su, dont cry. Im not trying to make things difficult for you. Right now, these results are simply the conclusions of one party and could be a probability issue. Lets try the tests somewhere else. Su Qingcheng nodded. Ill leave everything to you, aunty. * Returning to her apartment and seeing everything before her, Su Qingcheng felt as though she was dreaming. Her memories reyed in her mind, including her first meeting with Shao Yibai up to the time when they were dating. They only shared sweet moments as there were no regrets. Now that this had happened, she felt that God was punishing her. She was never fated to enjoy a life like this. Within two short years, it seemed like she had almost used up all the happiness in her life. Her only friend in Capital City was Tian Qi, but he had followed Shao Yibai to Luo Hai. She did not have anyone to share her worries with anymore. She sat on the window seat and basked in the afternoon sun for the whole day. Tissue papers piled up on the ground below her feet. They had arranged to do the tests in another reputable hospital in Capital City the next day. Su Qingcheng followed Jiao Shuzhen to the hospital early in the morning. They did not have to queue and were merely required to go through a simple process. Unlike the previous time, the main purpose of this examination was topare the test results. When the doctor read the diagnosis that was given by the previous hospital, a pessimistic look appeared on his face. This time, they would receive the results very soon. They would not even need to wait for half a month. Su Qingcheng had only waited for three days, but she felt as though those days had dragged on like a year. She prayed to God but warned herself not to harbor wishful thoughts at the same time. ... Shao Yibai was physically in Luo Hai, but his heart yearned for the young woman who stayed behind in Capital City. As he would video call her every day, he gradually noticed that there was something wrong. Do you miss me very much? Shao Yibais voice was resplendent and warm when heforted her. Su Qingcheng wanted to abandon everything else just so that she could be with him. However, she instantly sobered up when she calmed down and looked at the face on the screen that she would never forget throughout her entire life. Love would always require sacrifices... She was being selfish right now. I miss you very much! Su Qingcheng touched the screen that showed his handsome face. She wanted to cry... When the results of theboratory test came out three dayster, Su Qingcheng was not surprised by the oue anymore. Mrs Shao, its up to you to make a decision regarding this matter. We can merely provide you with some statistics that you can refer to. As for the oue, the tests may not necessarily be urate. There have been couples who sessfully had babies several yearster... The doctor who tested her said this in a very tactful manner. When she saw that Su Qingcheng looked utterly devastated, she suddenly found it hard to continue on. She initially assumed that the girl who was going to be married into the Shao Family of Capital City would be an extremely calctive and conspiring woman. She never expected that the young woman before her would be innocent and pure. She forced herself to stay calm when she heard the news but deep down, she waspletely disheartened and filled with sorrow and fear. Jiao Shuzhen took the results of theboratory test and got into the car with Su Qingcheng. As expected, neither of them said anything throughout the journey. Jiao Shuzhen sighed and groaned. Previously, she was secretly unhappy with certain aspects of Su Qingcheng. However, she had truly started to like this girl now... When Shao Jingshan returned to the Shao household and saw the same results, his face darkened as well. He took his cigarettes and hide in the courtyard alone because he felt depressed. Aunty, Im going to leave Capital City before Shao Yibai returns... Chapter 383 - It Was All A Lie

Chapter 383: It Was All A Lie

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Aunty, Im going to leave Capital City before Shao Yibai returns... Su Qingchengs deration stunned Shao Jingshan and his wife. He was the proud chief of the militarypound, but he was as helpless as any other mortal now. Shao Jingshans dark pupils faintly darted around while he lowered his face but remained silent. Little Su, are you sure... Jiao Shuzhen never imagined that the girl who always seemed so calm would want to leave Shao Yibai now. Yes, Im sure... Uncle, aunty, Im going to leave now. Im not going to wait for Shao Yibai to return. Hell never let me leave when hes back! Itll hurt less when I do it now thanter... Once Ive left... Hell love someone else in the future... Im not going to waste his time... Fat tears rolled down her face uncontrobly. She did not shed any tears when her parents sold her off or when she was dragged to the Yunnan-Burma Junction. She never cried when she was forced to starve for an entire day either. The world that she had built in her mind copsed when she thought of leaving Shao Yibai. It felt as though she was being crushed and she was in so much pain... Shao Jingshan nced at his wife before he shifted his gaze toward his daughter-inw. He could not hide the conflicted feelings in his heart. Finally, he lowered his voice and said, Youve made this decision, but whats going to happen when Yibai returns? Ive raised that boy and Ive seen his temper. My son isnt going to just let this matter go! Dont worry, uncle. I wont let Shao Yibai find me. Once a long time has passed and hes failed to locate me, he... He wont wait for me anymore! Su Qingcheng forced herself to speak while she choked back her sobs. God was extremely cruel to y with her feelings like this. Everyone else was allowed to have a happy ending except for her. We can provide you with some assistance... Jiao Shuzhen hurriedly said. Theres no need. Su Qingcheng quietly declined. Her doe-like eyes were already swollen from crying. She rubbed her temples. There was a nasal tone in her voice when she said, Since Im already nning on leaving, I dont want... I dont want to leave any traces behind. I can survive on my own in the real world. Im not the same weak girl anymore... Shao Jingshan sighed and paced around the courtyard. A momentter, he spoke in the domineering tone that was used by officials and said, Little Su, please take some money so that we can be at ease! Su Qingcheng, ... * Flight number A254 flew from Mo Du to Luo Hai. Half an hourter, itnded on the runway of Luo Hais airport. At the same time, flight number C356 departed from Luo Hais airport and flew toward Capital City... On the ne, Shao Yibai took a gift box out of his pocket that contained a ssic diamond ring. A terrible scandal had urred during Yuan Xuans wedding. Shao Yibai was there to witness Mu Chenyan being dragged away and he noticed how helpless Yuan Xuan was. Some couples were forced to undergo challenges before they could be together. This made Shao Yibai very emotional. He was thankful to God because he and Su Qingcheng were a happy couple who had never experienced serious setbacks... * Capital City Su Qingchengs apartment waspletely silent. The pitch-ck night sky engulfed Shao Yibais calmness. Two hours ago, he managed to locate the department where Su Qingcheng was doing her internship by going to her school. Her cell phone was turned off and she hadpletely disappeared without a trace. Shao Yibai stood at the area downstairs her apartment and gazed at the familiar window. He could not understand this at all. The woman was still talking to him on the phone three hours ago. She promised that she was waiting at home for him with the soup that she had already boiled. However, she ended up cutting off contact with him instead. Su Qingcheng did not have any other friends in Capital City. She generally did not go anywhere else aside from the department and her apartment. She would probably not be in any danger because she was skilled in martial arts. The department of her internship also stated that she was still at her post in the morning. Once she had finished her work, she requested for leave in the afternoon. Everyone assumed that she wanted to meet Shao Yibai... This strange situation gave him an indescribable sense of panic. He continued to smoke while he repeatedly dialed that familiar number. * Shao Family Mansion Shao Yibai enlisted the help of all his connections and continued to search for her until it waste at night. He saw that Shao Jingshan was waiting for him at the doorway when he returned to the mansion. He greeted in a dull voice, Father... Shao Jingshan nodded. He patted his sons shoulder and murmured, Yibai, Little Su has left! Shao Yibai resembled a wild beast with fur that was standing on end. His hawk-like eyes exuded chills. You knew about this too? He left no stone unturned when he searched everywhere for Su Qingcheng. Did his parents already know that she was gone while they were at home? Jiao Shuzhens face was filled with remorse and helplessness when she walked out of the house. We knew that she left, but... Shao Yibais voice was hoarse when he coldly spat, Did you chase her away while I was gone? He regretted his decision not to bring along Su Qingcheng to Luo Hai with him. He also felt remorseful for allowing her to return to Si Chuan on her own to get her documentation done. We never chased her away! Jiao Shuzhen was terrified of her sons gaze. He looked at them as though they were his enemies. In a shrill voice, she yelled, She decided to leave on her own. Shao Yibai did not believe her. He threw his jacket off. His hands trembled as he took the ring from his pocket that he had prepared earlier. His eyes were bloodshot while his cold voice quivered as he asked, Why would she leave when I was about to marry her? Tell me, where is she? Shao Yibai seemed slightly mad as he had lost control of himself. Shao Jingshan knew that Shao Yibai would not willingly let the matter go. He felt a dull ache in his heart when he noticed that his son was terribly worked up. The expression on the mans face darkened as he passed a cigarette to Shao Yibai. We dont know where she went. The rims of Shao Yibais eyes reddened. He took the cigarette and crouched on the ground. A long time passed before he muttered, Both of you are really cruel! Why did you do this? Tell me why! Son, look at this report... We werent trying to be cruel... Jiao Shuzhen sobbed as she passed the results of the premarital health checkup to him. Shao Yibai took it from her. When he nced at it, he instantly understood why. Suddenly, he lowered his head andughed maniacally. Hisughter sounded strange but miserable. It became louder as it echoed throughout the night sky. Is it because of this? Youre such an idiot! Jiao Shuzhen knew that Shao Yibai was scolding Su Qingcheng. She could not stop her heart from hurting when she saw how much her son was suffering. She wailed loudly beside Shao Yibai. Father, mother, how could you be so narrow-minded? I cant believe that you let her go because of this. Shao Yibai stoppedughing, but his eyes were still red when he asked, Why didnt you consider my feelings? What made you think that you had the right to make this decision for me? Why does it matter if she can give birth to my children or not? Shao Jingshan did not answer. He restrained himself and watched as Shao Yibai spiraled out of control. Finally, he sighed and patted Shao Yibais shoulder. He calmly said, To be honest, we have a certain role to y in situations like these because were your parents, Yibai. However, she was already very determined when she left... Shao Yibai shook his fathers arm off and charged into the night. ... Su Qingchengs apartment was still as sweet as before. As an extremely feminine young woman, she had filled the simple apartment with pink-colored elements that she really liked. Shao Yibai picked up the ragdoll on the sofa that he used to despise for a long time. The ragdoll still had a faint smell of the womans fragrance after her shower. The nts on the table had recently been watered, while a pair of her little underpants was still drying on the balcony that faced the south. The ingredients in the fridge were still fresh. Su Qingcheng sat here in the morning and promised to make him soup... It was all a lie. She was already prepared to leave at that moment!

Chapter 384: The Weather in Luo Hai Was So Humid That Tears Formed in the Corners of Her Eyes Again

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai felt as though someone had stabbed a sharp de in his heart when he thought of that. Each stab from that double-edged sword brought him closer to a violent death... He stared nkly as he sat on the side of the bed where they had previously made love. He stayed awake throughout the night, staring at the ragdoll that the woman had left behind. The next morning, he drove straight to the Capital City airport. Within two days, he managed to obtain all the information about the scheduled flights that were arriving and departing. However, there was nothing about a woman named Su Qingdai. The information counter at the train station also said that she was not one of their passengers within those two days. Suddenly, Shao Yibai realized that he had overlooked an important problem all along. He had never found out the exact location of Su Qingchengs hometown in Si Chuan. The remote mountain valley that she mentioned more than a dozen times, remained merely as just a remote mountain valley in Shao Yibais mind. The man had lost himself in love. He only realized now that he had never asked her about these things in detail because he trusted her too much. Please help me check if this person, Su Qingdai, used her officers identification and went to Si Chuanst week. Suddenly, he realized that Xiaodai did not use the name Su Qingdai when she left Capital City yesterday. She must have given herself a new name when she returned to her hometown. Shao Yibai decided that he would personally visit her hometown. All the information about her would probably be there. * Luo Hai This woman was a stranger in a new ce. She reached into her backpack and took out the cellphone that she had recently bought. She put in a new sim card and called a number. Li Ji, Im in Luo Hai. The man on the other side of the line sounded rather joyful for some time. Xiaodai, why didnt you say so earlier? There was a dy along the way. I didnt want you to get anxious from waiting. Su Qingcheng was terribly exhausted. She wrapped her coat tighter around her body. Cold air seeped through the autumn breeze. Luo Hai was said to be located at the border of the South China Sea. Was it supposed to be this cold? She did not know why she decided toe to Luo Hai. Perhaps it was because she knew that Shao Yibai had breathed the air here before. She was like a mistletoe nt. She admitted that she could not survive without Shao Yibais love to rely on. However, she was still afraid that he would find her. For that reason, she used different identification papers and traveled across three cities before finally arriving Luo Hai from Mo Du. There were traces of his presence here. She could survive if she depended on those traces and the remainder of his aura. Xiaodai, wait for me at the airport. Ille and get you! Li Ji sounded faintly excited. Alright, thank you. Su Qingcheng ended the call. She took some tissue paper and wiped her eyes that were already dry. However, the weather in Luo Hai was so humid that tears formed in the corners of her eyes again... * The weather in xx province of Si Chuan was slightly chilly after the autumn rain. The public bus traveled for four hours before it stopped beside the road. Even the high-rankingmander of the special forces from the militarypound in Capital City was forced to admit that the journey here was very dangerous. Andslide broke out along the way and resulted in a torrent of mud and stones. The journey was supposed to take two hours by bus, but they ended up traveling for four hours instead. As the bus could not enter the mountain area, Shao Yibai got off at thest stop. He nced at the little path that traveled deep into the high mountains. He began to thank Xiaodais parents for selling her off in the past. Otherwise, he would live his entire life without knowing that a girl whom he would end up loving dearly lived in this remote mountain area. He walked along that little path for a kilometer before an ox cart that was carrying people appeared beside him. The old man who drove the ox cart wore a leather jacket. His tanned skin was a unique characteristic of the people who lived in the mountains. He was curiously looking at the man before him who was dressed in a branded coat and carried himself in an extraordinary manner. Young man, do you need a ride? The old man suddenly called out to him in an attempt to engage in business. Shao Yibai only managed to discover that Xiaodai had previously came to the public bus stop that he had just gotten down from. He had no idea which direction to proceed in if he walked any deeper into the mountains. Uncle, do you know if theres a Su family in this vige? said Shao Yibai in a clear and resplendent voice. The old man observed Shao Yibai from head to toe. This young man had an impressive bearing and a melodious voice. The old man smiled. This vige is called Sujiazhai and most of the families who live here have thest name of Su. Which Su family are you referring to? Shao Yibai was stunned. However, the old man awkwardly repeated his reply in Mandarin as he assumed that Shao Yibai did not understand his Si Chuan dialect. Shao Yibai sighed as a worried look shed across his handsome face. He rushed here on his own to look for Xiaodai without contacting any of his other connections. He was worried about agitating her parents. Looking back at his actions now, he realized that it was quite a hasty decision. Why dont you follow me in my ox cart and go from house to house to ask? You might be able to find the Su Family that youre looking for. The old man did not forget to rmend the services of his ox cart. It seemed like the old man was merely looking for something to do in his free time. That was probably why he had prepared this ox cart. Shao Yibai looked at the ox cart. If he went in on foot by himself, it would be unlikely for him to get far on this rugged road even if he spent the entire day here. Shao Yibai took out a hundred yuan and passed it to the old man. Please show me the way, uncle. The old man was as giddy as a young girl when he saw the pink-colored note. He loved these hundred yuan notes with the image of Mao Zedong printed on them. The old man tucked the money in his clothes before he called out to his long-time partner, saying, Big Yellow, show us the way. Were going to Sujiazhai! The ox named Big Yellow, the old man, Shao Yibai, the beautiful scenery, and the clear blue sky formed a strange, harmonious scene. Nheless, the soldier from the special forces of Capital City still looked very dashing when he sat in the ox cart. * Luo Hai Li Ji took Su Qingcheng to the studio apartment on Han City Road that was registered under his name. It may be a studio apartment but it was actually more than 80 square feet with two rooms. Theyout of the apartment was carefully decorated in a romantic and feminine style that Su Qingcheng liked. Su Qingcheng admitted that she was still an immature young woman on the inside. Did Miao Hong help you decorate this ce? Su Qingchengughed. Li Ji nodded. Embarrassed, he said, Miao Hong stayed here when she had just arrived in Luo Hai. Since it became inconvenient for me after she got pregnant, I let her move to Qing Qing Yuan instead. I knew at once that this wasnt your style. Su Qingcheng giggled. Li Ji put Su Qingchengs luggage down before the handsome gentleman scratched his head. Smiling, he said, Miao Hong said that she was going to visit you in Capital City if you didnte to Luo Hai. Su Qingcheng forced a smile. Miao Hong shouldnt be running around when shes pregnant! Li Ji nodded. Shes already seven months pregnant. When she heard that you wereing to Luo Hai, she was so excited that she insisted oning with me. However, I refused to let here along. Ill take you to Qing Qing Yuan to visit her tomorrow. Li Ji, you and Miao Hong... We havent gotten our marriage certificate yet. Li Ji was slightly dejected. My parents havent agreed to it... Su Qingcheng was stunned. Miao Hong was pregnant with Li Jis child, but the Li Family still refused to acknowledge her. She could not believe it! Su Qingcheng recalled that Li Ji, Hong Miao, and herself had met merely by fate. When she first arrived in Capital City, Li Ji and Hong Miao were tourists. They were a pair of young lovers who visited temples, wandered around the old pces, and soaked in the hot springs... It was notmon for thieves to be near such areas, but it just so happened that there were two gamblers who had reached a dead end after they lost all of their money. They saw an opportunity when they saw Li Ji at the entrance of the goldsmiths store, and robbed the gift that Li Ji bought for Miao Hong for their anniversary. When Su Qingcheng first came to Capital City, she liked going to the nearby library. She merely needed to stretch her leg out and trip those two thieves. Later, when Su Qingcheng spoke to Miao Hong, she discovered that the other girl was also from Si Chuan. They decided to have hot pot together. They found more things inmon with each other as they chatted. Miao Hong was a few years older than Su Qingcheng. Since she was a straight-forward person, she gave Su Qingcheng her phone number. Both of them frequently spoke to each other on WeChat. Su Qingcheng never expected that her initial actions would help herter on when she had nowhere to go. When Su Qingcheng spoke to Miao Hong on WeChat and told her about her situation, Miao Hong had already guessed the oue. Both of us were kicked out of those wealthy households. Since youve already thought it through, you should juste and see me in Luo Hai! Chapter 385 - A Man Who Had Never Wept Burst Out Crying

Chapter 385: A Man Who Had Never Wept Burst Out Crying

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Sujiazhai was not a huge vige, it was upied by over two hundred families. When Shao Yibai asked for ady called Su Qingdai, he was greeted cordially by the people from the vige. Oh, youre looking for Little Darkie the Third? Shao Yibai was startled, he wondered, Su Qingcheng isnt that dark... After a short journey on a bluestone path through a bamboo forest, a green-bricked building came into view. There were a total of four houses, and dried bamboo shoots were seenid out in the courtyard. During thest ten days of October, the rivers underwent depression, and the autumn rain had begun, causing the air to be humid. Due to these reasons, the dried bamboo shoots appeared to be in poor color. A young girl was seen flipping over those dried bamboo shoots while holding a book, unaware of Shao Yibais presence. On the other hand, a big golden-haired local dog in a corner was very alert, by which it barked loudly at Shao Yibai. Although the dog was a native dog, it was sharp-witted. When it caught sight of Shao Yibais fierce look, it fell silent after a few barks. Owing to the cold look of the handsome-looking man, the young girl was so taken aback that she dropped her book when she stood up. Who are you looking for? The girl appeared to be 16 or 17 years old. She had dark skin and was seemingly malnourished as she was so thin that shecked the radiance of a youngdy. Youngdy, do you have a sister called Su Qingdai? It was an uncle from the vige who led him here, and by the looks of it, this youngdy was probably Xiao Dais little sister. Thats me... The youngdy was surprised by his visit. Moreover, he spoke fluent Mandarin. Most importantly, this man gave an unapproachable impression as he showed a sense of oppression, which frightened the youngdy. Thats you?? Shao Yibai was utterly shocked. Then...you have a sister... I have two sisters... The youngdy hesitated, looked inside the house, then yelled, Dad, someones here to look for sister... While she raised her voice, she scurried into the house. Subsequently, an old man came out and shouted at her, Why are you screaming like a ghost? What do you mean by your sister? Old Man Su had just returned from ying cards where he lost some money, thus he was having an unpleasant mood. Just as he was about to take a nap, he was woken up by his youngest daughter, which caused him to feel very grumpy. Shao Yibai furrowed his brows as he looked at the man who came out of the house. He did not look old, but he hadziness written all over him. After the youngdy who imed to be Su Qingdai was lectured, she hid behind the old man and stole nces at Shao Yibai. Who are you? Finally, Old Man Su realized that another man was standing in the courtyard. As soon as Old Man Su noticed his attire, he grumbled softly, Could it be that my second daughter caused trouble outside? Now hes here to settle ounts? Sir, hello! Shao Yibai spoke gently. He saw the youngdys eyes glimmer as if it was her first time encountering a handsome man with such a deep and charming voice. Id like to ask, you have a daughter, Su Qingdai... In actual fact, Shao Yibai was at a loss, he had no idea of Su Qingchengs real name at home. This is Xiao Dai! The old man pulled over the youngdy hiding behind her, then continued with a low voice, The girl youre looking for is Chengzi the Second, right? Chengzi the Second... Confused, Shao Yibai simply nodded. Did she cause any trouble outside? D*mn this girl! I made her marry Old Liu from the grocery store in the town, yet she ran away after beating him up. Motherf*cker, I lost 10 thousand dors because of that! This little girl, she even came home a few days ago to write out a certificate for an identification card... While Old Man Suined, he pointed a finger to the sky and cursed furiously, D*mn you girl! I was going to drag her over to Old Liu for her to admit her mistake, but she acquired some skills and attacked me. Even her two brothers were no match for her! Tell me, did she fight you and injured you? Shao Yibai frowned even more as he cast a vacant look at Old Man Su, he understood the situation here and there. Looks like when Su Qingcheng returned a while ago to get her certificate, this man actually still nned to sell her off. Luckily, Xiao Dai has superb martial art skills, and beat him up so badly that he probably pissed in his pants! Im telling you, if she caused any trouble outside, Im not going to be responsible for it. Shes no longer a part of Su Family, and wherever she goes, its best that she dies outside... All along, Old Man Su still took Shao Yibai as a debt collector. Right then, the little girl pulled the corner of her fathers shirt, and sobbed softly, Daddy, second sister gave you 50 thousand dors, how can you speak of her like that... Instantly, Old Man Su became speechless, and he dared not say anything else as if he was worried that Shao Yibai became aware that he possessed this amount of money. Shao Yibai was so infuriated that he gritted his teeth. The man sneered, As a parent, your dereliction of duty is truly out of the norm! Initially, I wanted to thank you for raising her, looks like it was an unnecessary thought! Old Man Su was baffled. However, Little Darkie the Third who was beside him immediately pieced the puzzles together, and cried as she said, I get it now, youre the lover that my sister told me about... Shao Yibai was dumbstruck. His tall body could be seen trembling as he muttered softly, She told you about me? Mmm, wait here, second sister has something for you! Little Sanhei ran into the house, retrieved a diary, and passed it to Shao Yibai. This is second sisters diary. Before she left, she told me to pass this to you if you evere! Oh right, second sisters real name is Su Qingcheng... Su Qingcheng! Su Qingcheng! Shao Yibai hugged that thick diary close to his chest and cursed to himself repeatedly! You despicabledy, you even lied to me about your name! You cheated my feelings, and now youve disappeared, nowhere to be found... When Little Darkie the Third saw how sorrowful her brother-inw was, she was upset too. As she sobbed, Old Man Su was just dumbfounded. The d*mn girl even left a diary behind? Shao Yibai thanked the youngdy in a hoarse voice, then took a good look at the courtyard that Su Qingcheng lived in since she was young, which made his heart sank deeper. Once Shao Yibai returned to the hotel, he opened the diary and went on a trip down Su Qingchengs memoryne from the very beginning. From getting acquainted, to being friends, then falling in love atst. Shao Yibai read the delicate writing of the woman. I wish to spend the rest of my life with him and to stay with him and only him in this lifetime. Thank you, God, for letting us cross paths... The man who had never wept before burst out crying. For a tough military guy, he was so hurt that he felt as if his heart was hollowed out... * Capital City. The lights in Minghuang Club were dimly lit, where a few bewitchingdies were seen surrounding Shao Yibai. As intimate as they were to him, they dared not get too close. Recently, this prince of Shao Family became a regr customer and was always extravagant. Every time, he was either with the son of Zhang Family or the gentry of Li Family. They were usually apanied by a fewdies, who only had to drink a couple of drinks with them to get red packets of a few thousand dors. Unlike other lustful rich men, Mr. Shao was always courtly and cultured, such that he never took petty advantages of them. For a rich and attractive man like him, countless women desired to spend a night with him. Sadly, Mr. Shao was well known to only indulge in sensual pleasures, and never brought women home... Mr. Shao, you havent been visiting. Tell me, do you have a new sweetheart? Jiao Jiao leaned into Shao Yibai with a seductive look on her fair-skinned face. You really fit the name Jiao Jiao 1 ! Shao Yibai pinched her face. Since when did I look for another woman? Ive been very upiedtely, which is why I havent had the time toe. Look, once Im free, Im here! While the striking man was vaguely perverse, every twinkle and smile of his was simply captivating. As for the otherdies, they rolled their eyes as they found it intolerable. Everyone knew that Shao Yibai always called for Jiao Jiao during his visits! They made no sense of what was so outstanding about Jiao Jiao. Shao Yibai was the only one who knew that Jiao Jiaos eyes bore a resemnce to Su Qingcheng... Chapter 386 - She Would Spend Her Entire Life Watching Over One Person

Chapter 386: She Would Spend Her Entire Life Watching Over One Person

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai, dont you think that you look very pathetic right now? The door that led to the private room swung open. The woman was dressed from head to toe in expensive garments. Her arrogant demeanor made her look like a queen. She nced at the man sitting on the sofa. He seemed cold and entirely emotionless. She furiously spat, You stink of sin and alcohol. Do you still remember that you were the high-rankingmander of the special forces unit? Has your military rank gone to the dogs? The other women in the private room were terribly frightened by this unexpected turn of events. They were too afraid to speak, so they simply stared at Shao Yibai with pale faces. In most situations, the women who barged in like this were either the first wives or beloved mistresses. This womans imposing manner clearly showed that she did not have a normal rtionship with Mr. Shao. The man hid in the shadows. His cold eyes werepletely devoid of emotions. He lit a cigarette and smoked in silence. His posture seemed elegant but conceited. The smoke whirled around his handsome and bewitching face. Wei Hongmian, what right do you have to care about me? Shao Yibais calm demeanor made the woman at the doorway even more furious. Wei Hongmian controlled her temper and nced at all the scantily d women. Shemanded in a low voice, Get out! As Jiao Jiao had always been Shao Yibais favorite, she was a bit more conceited and spoiled. The girls had not seen Shao Yibai for a long time. Their financial backer finally came today after much difficulty, but this woman had to ruin everything. She was secretly very annoyed. She rose from her seat and nced at Wei Hongmian. Her lips curled into a smirk before she snarled, Olddy, Im sorry, but isnt it wrong for you toe here and steal our business when youre so much older than us? Judging from the way she was dressed, Wei Hongmian did not work in the same profession as them, but she hade looking for Shao Yibai, so it was most likely that she was Mr. Shaos old me. Jiao Jiao had been through situations like this a lot of times at the brothel. She would usually take the initiative to strike the first blow and suppress the other partys drive. Olddy? Stealing their business? Wei Hongmian was so furious that her face nearly turned green! The other girl treated her as if she was one of the other prostitutes at the brothel... The beggars on the street and those scumbags wouldnt even nce at an olddy like you, much less Mr. Shao. Theyd have to force themselves to look at you even if you offered to sleep with them for free... Thwack! Wei Hongmian raised her hand and pped Jiao Jiao. She scoffed, You little b*tch, Ill kill you! Im from the Wei Family. Do you think that Id let you say those disgusting things to me? Jiao Jiao noticed Wei Hongmians imposing manner after she was struck. She realized that this woman was probably from an influential family. She had never of the Wei Family, but she knew that a normal prostitute would never mention their family background. She merely stood there as she was too afraid to burst out in anger. She gazed miserably at Shao Yibai. All of you can go downstairs. Ill pass your tips to the madamter. Go on, my darlings. Wei Hongmian blushed when she saw Shao Yibais bewitching smile. He raised his wine ss and took a sip after speaking. His gaze did not meet Wei Hongmians for even a second. Jiao Jiao covered the side of her face that was hit with her hand and left with the other girls. She gave Wei Hongmian a stern re before she left. Wei Hongmian woke up from her enraged stupor once the girls had left. She turned around and stared at Shao Yibai. Sadness welled up inside her heart. Shao Yibai, what have you be now? My actions dont concern you! Shao Yibais previously indifferent attitude had vanishedpletely. His voice was now terribly cold, and his gaze at Wei Hongmian was mocking. That woman has left, but you... There will never be an opportunity for any other woman to marry into the Shao Family in the future. You should just give up! said Shao Yibai mercilessly. Wei Hongmian seemed to grow hopeful once again ever since Su Qingcheng left. She constantly pestered Shao Yibai. Unfortunately, the hope that was ignited in Wei Hongmians heart extinguished when Shao Yibai rejected her again. Shao Yibai... Youre really heartless! Tears streamed down Wei Hongmians beautiful face. Her entire body trembled, and her eyes were filled with grief and indignation as she looked at Shao Yibai. Anyone else would feel sorry for her, but Shao Yibai waspletely unaffected. The man chuckled dryly. Thats right, Im heartless! I said that Id be faithful to her until the end, so Im going to spend my entire life waiting for that one person. If she doesnt return, Ill just remain like this! I was too serious before this, but Ive realized now that its fine to fool around. Wei Hongmian never imagined that Shao Yibai only would have eyes for that woman and her only. Despite knowing that she would never return, he had still reserved the position of Mrs. Shao for her... * Orphanage X, Luo Hai Half a year had passed since Su Qingcheng first volunteered here. The children loved her because she was beautiful and friendly. Su Qingcheng had a lot inmon with the children. She was just an orphan who happened to have parents. When she came to the orphanage today to give the children some food, she saw that the orphanage director and several middle-ageddies were huddled together and discussing something quietly. He wont survive even if we take him in. It looks like hes already two years old, but there must be something wrong with him. Hear how soft his cries are! Yes, this is the first time Ive seen a child with such a terribleplexion! Its so unfortunate. Hes such a beautiful child! Theres a letter here. Come quickly and read it... Apparently, the female janitor had discovered a boy standing at the entrance early in the morning. The sobbing child was wrapped in a nket and seemed to be around two years old. He could not even walk after crying for so long buried underneath his nket. Now he was sound asleep nestling in the arms of the orphanage director. The orphanage director hurriedly opened the envelope. Oh, this little boy suffers from heart disease. His parents abandoned him here because they cant afford his medical treatment! The orphanage director sighed when she finished reading the letter. There were several other children in the orphanage who were in the same predicament. As a welfare institution, the orphanage was fully responsible for their well-being now. Su Qingcheng walked over and looked at the child in the womans arms. His eyes were covered up by his feathery eyshes, and his little face was snow-white. Aside from the unnatural purplish-red shade of his lips, he was truly beautiful. For some reason, the most vulnerable part of Su Qingchengs heart stirred at the sight of the boy. She could have given birth to such a beautiful child if she had married Shao Yibai. Director Li, is it true that this child suffers from heart disease? Su Qingcheng was worried since she was unaware of the severity of this disease. Director Li nodded. His parents wrote in the letter that the valves in his heart are defective. The surgery would cost them about four hundred thousand, but theres a risk of failure. They stopped his treatment because of that... The orphanage director lowered her head and nced at the boy again. She heaved a sigh. We might have contacted the hospital if the cost was a little lower or if we had support from other organizations. Unfortunately, they needed several hundred thousand immediately. The orphanage has been facing financial difficulties these past few years. How is it possible for us to get so much financial aid in such a short span of time when weve taken in so many children like him? Su Qingcheng understood that half of the children in this orphanage were abandoned by their parents because of their physical deformities. Those who were suffering from conditions like cleft lips would receive financial assistance for their surgeries if they were lucky. However, heart surgeries would require a lump sum of four to five hundred thousand. This was truly a sky-high price. A thought suddenly shed in Su Qingchengs mind as she gazed at the sleeping child. Director Li, Ill pay for this childs surgery. Can I adopt him after hes gone through it? Director Li looked at Su Qingcheng in disbelief. Little Su, youre still single. How are you going to get married in the future if you adopt this child? A wry smile appeared on the corners of Su Qingchengs lips when she heard this. She would never get married again. Her heart had already belonged to someone whom she could never forget. She had already said that she would spend her entire life waiting for that one person... Chapter 387 - Speak of the Devil

Chapter 387: Speak of the Devil

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Jingshan gave Su Qingcheng one million yuan when she left Capital City. Despite the Shao Familys prestige, Su Qingcheng knew that one million yuan was not a meager amount to them. After all, they were not an aristocratic family that was currently in business. She did not have any n to use this money. She merely epted the money to put the master and mistress of the Shao Family at ease. When she left Capital City, she gave her parents five thousand yuan she had received from her internship. She did not have much more money aside from that. She was always hard pressed for money. She relied on doing casual jobs to get by in life when she came to Luo Hai. When she saw the child who had been abandoned by his parents today, Su Qingcheng felt that she could finally use that sum of money that she had set aside. Director Li decided not to stop Su Qingcheng when she noticed that the woman was determined to adopt this abandoned baby. That young woman had a pure heart and would be a good mother. Su Qingcheng informed Li Ji about the childs predicament and revealed that she nned to adopt him. Li Ji contacted the best cardiologist in Luo Hai through the connections he had had over the ce. Coincidentally, the doctor who operated on the boy was Yuan Tangshuo. It was just that Su Qingcheng had yet to cross paths with the Yuan Family at that time. Doctor Yuan was deeply moved by the childs unfortunate life when he had discovered his past. He subsidized half of the surgical fees. He even promised that the hospital would bear the cost of the childs recuperation after the surgery proved to be sessful. Su Qingcheng was pleasantly surprised. She used the remaining 20 million to get a pair of prosthetic legs for another girl in the orphanage who suffered from a congenital tibia defect. She also bought new bedding for the orphanage as well. The operation was scheduled to be done inte autumn. It was extremely sessful. The child recuperated for four months after the surgery and was taken home by Su Qingcheng after that. Since she was about to take him in, Su Qingcheng decided to name the child Su Shaoan. His name was Su Shaoan because she wanted to use her and Shao Yibaisst names. This baby was born into a miserable existence, but she hoped that he could live a peaceful life now. * Two yearster... Su Shaoan was already four years old. Time had passed in the blink of an eye. He grew up into a strong and healthy boy after the surgery and became the greatest source of motivation for Su Qingcheng. He was also the most important individual in her mind. Miao Hongs child was also over three years old now. The two women frequently went out together and brought their children so that they could y with each other. Xiaodai, I know that you asked Li Ji to help you ask about jobs. It seems like hes found something reliable. But I cant believe that you chose to join the criminal police department when you couldve gone on to be a young mistress in Capital City instead! said Miao Hong with a puzzled look on her face. Miao Hong had been unable to marry into the Li Family all this while. Though looking at the fact that she had given birth to a baby for Li Ji, regardless that it was a girl, it was still considered as the Li Familys flesh and blood. That was why Miao Hong was able to feed herself even if she was not working. It was not surprising that she could not understand Su Qingcheng. Unlike her, Su Qingcheng was in desperate need for a job to support herself. Ill need to work so that Ill have enough money to raise An An as he grows up. I cant always rely on the Shao Familys money since this child is someone Ive made the decision to adopt. Su Qingcheng had thought this out in detail. Miao Hong was very much in awe of Su Qingchengs ability to categorize everything in her world so clearly. Speaking of the Shao Family, Ive heard that... Miao Hong decided not to hide it anymore when she noticed that Su Qingcheng mentioned the Shao Family on her own. What do you want to tell me? Su Qingchengs thoughts were cut off then. To be honest, she had never forgotten Shao Yibai. A lump would always form in her throat when the word Shao was mentioned. Did you know that Shao Yibai is in Luo Hai? Miao Hong sighed when she saw that Su Qingchengs expression was changed drastically at once. Silly girl, why must you torture yourself when you havent given up on him? Now that you have An An, would it make any difference if the both of you raised him together? Why would it matter if you gave birth to him or not? Su Qingchengs quivering eyshes revealed the extremely conflicted feelings in her heart. The woman remained silent and simply stared at Miao Hong nkly. Hong, do you think that hell find me? Miao Hong was annoyed when she saw that Su Qingcheng looked terribly dejected. I hope that he sinks his ws into you and presses you against on the bed... Miao Hong always acted innocent and pure in front of Su Qingcheng, but she actually loved making dirty jokes. Su Qingcheng blushed and acted like she wanted to hit Miao Hong when she noticed that the other woman was behaving improperly. The two women argued for some time. Su Qingcheng let out a sigh once they had calmed down. It would be impossible for us to... How could we adopt a child together? Do you think that the Shao Family is just an ordinary family? Each of thest three generations only had one son. How could they willingly ept that their bloodline was going to be cut off from now on? Miao Hong always knew that Su Qingcheng was kind, but she never imagined that this beautiful young woman would take it to the extreme. Su Qingcheng only thought of other people all the time. Youre a silly girl. Why would God y tricks on you? Miao Hong was secretly dissatisfied. However, she knew that things like these could not be forced. The thoughts merely stirred in her heart as she felt sorry for the lovers. To her surprise, Su Qingcheng discovered the worlds fastest runner during thentern show three dayster. This was a valid example of the saying speak of the devil and he shall appear. It just so happened that Shao Yibai managed to catch hold of her while she was rescuing a victim of a crime during thentern show... Every time she decided to do something, a miraculous encounter would surely urred soon after that. How incredibly annoying! She decided to mind her own business in the future. Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai would certainly refuse to let her go now. He was bound to find her sooner orter. Her heart was filled with panic. She had no appetite during the next few days. She would be lying if she said that she waspletely unaffected when she saw that man. She wanted to see him, and it was not something she had known for just a day or two. Several hundred days and nights had passed, but she thought of Shao Yibai almost every day. She thought of Shao Yibai the most when she looked at Su Shaoan. That boy looked more and more like Shao Yibai with each passing day. Su Qingcheng could not help butment to God. She wondered if he was truly ying with her feelings by making her adopt a little boy who looked like that man... Li Ji had also heard that Shao Yibai became closer to the Yuan Family of Luo Hai ever since he came here. The Li Family was influential in Luo Hai, but they were no match for the Yuan Family there. The Old Master of the Shao Family had impressive military exploits. Meanwhile, Shao Yibai had retired, but the walls of his house were filled with the military badges that he hung up there. Any other family including the Li Family could not afford to offend him. Li Ji turned this matter over in his mind. He realized that a quarrel would no doubt ensue should Yibai discovered that he was sheltering his woman. Li Ji was born into an aristocratic family. He had learned to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of his decisions ever since he was a child. Before Shao Yibai paid him a visit, Li Ji decided to send someone over to give Shao Yibai some hints. In other words, Li Ji had sold Su Qingcheng out. Shao Yibai suppressed his rage this time. He did not do anything reckless. The woman threw him over her shoulder and escaped during thentern festival. It probably meant that she did not want to see him. His n would backfire if he forced her too much. What would he do if she ran away again? She was already in Luo Hai, and he was supposed to be here for some time as well. He would try to keep her in Luo Hai first until it was time for him to leave. It would not be toote if he whisked her away along with him after that. Shao Yibai loved the thrill of having to track someone down. Li Ji had found a job for Su Qingcheng while that woman had gotten herself caught up with Mu Chenyan. No matter what, it was impossible for her to flee from Luo Hai now. He never imagined that this thrilling adventure wouldst for almost half a year before he discovered Su Shaoans existence. This man could not remain calm anymore. He should have been happy to be a father, but he was upset instead! Su Qingcheng, I demand an exnation! The mans heart felt as free as a grassy field now. He had spent several years waiting miserably for this woman... Chapter 388 - The Man Gleefully Savored His First Victory

Chapter 388: The Man Gleefully Savored His First Victory

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng, I demand an exnation! The mans heart felt as free as a grassy field now. He had spent several years waiting miserably for this woman... The man seemed like he had endured for an excruciatingly long time. His heart was gued by various unpleasant feelings since the night Su Qingcheng took Mu Chenyan in and allowed her to stay at her ce. That was how Shao Yibai discovered Su Shaoans existence. He had drunk alcohol today. Whether Su Qingcheng was willing to see him or not, he had blocked off the entrance to her home to get an exnation from her. Shao Yibai was actually a good drinker. He could actually drink up a thousand cups of liquor without getting drunk. He had gotten drunk during the two years when he was fooling around in Capital City, but there were very few people who could get him intoxicated. He had drowned his sorrows in alcohol today. Su Qingcheng never expected that Su Shaoans existence would upset Shao Yibai so much. She allowed Shao Yibai to lean on her as she led him inside and poured him a cup of tea. Both of them looked straight at each other. The mans sharp gaze seemed like it could prate everything. Su Qingcheng could not hide from his unrelenting demeanor. Both of them had fought, slept together, experienced the most intimate things with each other, and remembered their past together during the days they had spent in Luo Hai. Su Qingchengs heart was not made of stone. When she was faced with the man she had once loved so deeply, she was worried that she would not be able to restrain herself and fall back into his arms again. The woman closed her eyes. In a trembling voice, she said, I told you before that Im married... The childs father... Su Qingcheng wanted to continue lying, but she was actually afraid of Shao Yibais persistence. I know that youre lying! I f*cking believed you when you told me this thest time, but Li Ji has exined everything to me. Stop using that innocent face to fool me! The man slouched on the sofa with the floral countryside pattern in Su Qingchengs house. He crossed his legs and cast a sidelong nce at the embarrassed woman. Will you believe me if I tell you that I adopted the boy? Li Ji had previously promised not to reveal An Ans origins to anyone else. He had kept his word on this matter. Su Qingcheng knew that it was impossible for her to hide this anymore. There had never been any misunderstandings between her and Shao Yibai. They had never spoken to each other in a roundabout manner. She did not want the truth about An An to be a thorn in Shao Yibais side. Shao Yibai seemed slightly reluctant to believe this. Deep down, he was hoping that the little boy was his own son. Su Shaoan really resembled Shao Yibai when he was younger. Although he knew that the possibility was extremely small, he still harbored some hope in his heart. He purposely took several strands of the boys hair to do a DNA test. He was very disappointed by the results because the boy was not his son. Nheless, he was slightly relieved to hear that the boy was adopted. He was not his son, but this could at least prove that Su Qingcheng was still his woman after all these years. He would not believe her lie about being married. Shao Yibai would kill any man who touched the woman he had slept with. Shao Yibais eyes lit up as though he had just glimpsed a ray of hope. Su Qingcheng hurriedly said, Big Brother Shao, you should stop thinking of me. Im living a happy life with this child now. Su Qingcheng was too afraid to meet Shao Yibais gaze. She continued, Im sure that you already know the reason why I left Capital City. It would be too selfish for us to get married. I wouldnt want the Shao Familys bloodline to end simply because of me... Shao Yibai pursed his thin lips tightly and narrowed his eyes. His expression showed that he did not care for what she had to say. His handsome face darkened further when Su Qingcheng mentioned that they needed to sever their ties with each other in the future. Would you believe me if I said that I didnt care? said Shao Yibai firmly. He realized that she was still using the fact that could not have children of their own as an excuse for them to not be together. Su Qingchengughed bitterly. Youd be an unfilial son if you deny your parents of grandchildren. You may not care, but your parents do! Childrene in many forms. When you raise them from when theyre young until theyve be an adult, they wouldve be your children whether theyre rted to you by blood or not. I didnt make this child, but Ill be his adopted father in the future! Shao Yibai thought about this from a different perspective. This was an opportunity for him to reveal his true intentions while on the topic of the kid. He had no qualms about adopting this child and making him his heir. Su Qingcheng was speechless. No matter what you say, that child still needs a father. I may have arrived out of the blue, but you should definitely allow me to fill that position immediately. Shao Yibai spoke sincerely. Su Qingcheng was at a loss. She wondered whether he was actually drunk or not. His mind seemed to be working soundly, and he had clearlye with a goal in his mind. It looked like he had note here simply to criticize her. Su Qingcheng felt as though she had fallen for his tricks. She had wanted to console him and make it clear to him that he should not involve himself in her life anymore. How did she wind up finding a father for her son? He had cornered Su Qingcheng. The man savored his first victory gleefully. His expression gradually rxed and looked more handsome. The man rose from the sofa and embraced Su Qingcheng. A smile hung on the corners of his lips. Ill take you back to Capital City once the matter with Yuan Xuan is settled. Our parents wont find out that this child isnt ours if we dont tell them. Hes so cute that our parents will probably love him very much once theyve seen him. Su Qingcheng was so stunned that she could not reply. She recalled the promise she had already made to Mr. and Mrs. Shao. What would they think if they saw her in Capital City again? Would they think that she got together with Shao Yibai again because she had finished spending the one million yuan that they gave her? A foreboding chill rose in the depths of Su Qingchengs heart. The Shao couple would probably be as equally disappointed to see her back in Capital City as they were hoping to see her pack and go in the beginning. She felt slightly regretful foring to Luo Hai. It had made her desire certain things. She would never have returned to Capital City if she had not seen Shao Yibai. Alright, you should return to Capital City first and tell your parents about this beforehand. After that, you can bring me and my son over... Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai would never let this matter go even if they continued to argue. She realized that it was better to please him. Shao Yibai was pleasantly surprised when he heard the warm tone in Su Qingchengs voice. He was obviously unaware that this was merely her strategy to buy time. After all, she had always been very much against the idea of going back before this. The man was satisfied after getting this bit of constion. They had previously shared a bed, but the woman refused to let him enter her house now. At least he had managed to make some progress this time as she had partially yielded. Xiaodai, please wait for me to return. Yuan Xuan needs me to go back to Capital City to work with him. You need to stay here and help him take care of Mu Chenyan. Once everything is over, Ill send someone from Capital City toe and get you. Su Qingcheng nodded. * Capital City Shao Yibai returned to fight alongside his father and suppressed Yuan Tangzhongs followers who were deployed to Capital City. The first piece of information that Yuan Xuan had provided Shao Yibai allowed him to instantly capture all of the criminals who had managed to slip away from the old incident in Xi Fan. As this mission was concerning national security, the higher authorities had supervised the investigation of this matter in secret. Once Shao Yibai had settled everything here, he discovered that they were about to take action in Luo Hai very soon. He rushed back to Luo Hai immediately. During the Yuan Familys banquet, he happened to watch Yuan Tangzhong suffer a terrible fall. The situation in Luo Hai underwent drastic changes. Capital City had removed the henchmen around Yuan Tangzhong silently amd caused the second son of the Yuan Family to suffer a crushing defeat. It would be impossible for him to turn the tides again. The incident at Xi Fan had finally been resolved at this point, and Yuan Tangbais soul in the afterlife could finally be at peace. The next step was to counter Mu Chenwu. Yuan Xuan had deployed troops for this matter long ago. The elite soldiers from Capital City that Shao Jingshan had allocated for him for this operation would give their full cooperation to him. Shao Yibai was very confident in this operation. Unfortunately, bad news arrived from Capital City at this time. Jiao Shuzhen wanted Shao Yibai to rush home because she was ill. Frankly, Jiao Shuzhen had been the one to handle the major and minor matters at home while Shao Jingshan was working outstation all these years. It was no surprise that she had finally sumbed to illness after all these years. Before Shao Yibai returned to Capital City, he repeated two things to Su Qingcheng. First, she needed to protect Mu Chenyan. Second, she had to wait for him to return. Shao Yibai only dared to return to Capital City when Su Qingcheng agreed to his demands entirely. He never expected that Su Qingcheng would break both of her promises to him. After cooperating with the search for Mu Chenyan when she went missing, she had submitted her resignation letter to Wu Huai on one sunny afternoon. Wu Huai could not understand this at all. He underestimated Su Qingcheng when the young woman came to the major crimes department, but he realized through her performance that she was brave and skillful in battle during theter stages. She was calm and quiet, literally a perfect candidate for the criminal police force. Wu Huai wondered why she decided to resign so suddenly. Little Su, did you find a better job? It was rare for Wu Huai to say things like these and poke his nose into other peoples business. The mans gloomy face was tinged with curiosity when he asked the question. He knew that she loved this job because he had seen it with his own eyes. Su Qingcheng gave a faint smile and murmured, No. I just want to leave Luo Hai for now Su Qingcheng handled the procedure to defer Su Shaoans studies. She packed some of their belongings and drove off on their journey. Su Qingcheng was rather shocked when Mu Chenyan left. Her heart was troubled for a long time. The two women had not known the other party for a long time, but they understood each other quite well. Mu Chenyan hesitated for a long time, but she finally left after recognizing the love she held in her heart. It was simr to when Su Qingcheng left Capital City. She did it not because she did not love him anymore, but it was because he had loved him too much and did not want to burden him. She was in the same situation right now. Jiao Shuzhen was rather shocked when she discovered that Shao Yibai encountered Su Qingcheng in Luo Hai by chance. She pretended to be sick so that Shao Yibai woulde home while she sent someone to contact Su Qingcheng. Miss Su, the mistress has promised to give you a nk cheque if you need more money. You can write any amount you want. The Shao Family will definitely honor it as long as they can afford it. The only condition is that you must leave Luo Hai, Miss Su... The attitude of thewyer wearing gold-rimmed sses was acting strictly businesslike. Su Qingcheng forced a smile. Attorney Liang, please tell Mrs. Shao that I was never the one who is in need of money. She doesnt need to bribe me to leave Shao Yibai because Ill do it on my own. I know that shes doing this to show that she loves her son, but I love Shao Yibai in my own way as well. As Liang Heng had worked as awyer in Capital City for many years, he had settled disputes on behalf of numerous aristocratic families. When Jiao Shuzhen sent him here, he initially assumed that he was going to fight a tough battle with this poor woman. He never imagined that this delicate and pretty woman before him was actually so iron-willed. Miss Su, since youre willingly given up on him, please dont appear in front of Mr. Shao ever again. Liang Heng was not convinced. He added, The Shao Family will help you erase your tracks once youve left Luo Hai. Su Qingcheng thanked him. The weather was a little chilly on the day she left Luo Hai. It resembled the weather on the day she first arrived there. Su Qingcheng nced at the grey sky and remembered her neen-year-old self loving that man despite knowing all the risks to it, but that version of herself seemed so far away from where she was right now. Mom, where are we going? Four-year-old Su Shaoan could already see through the emotions of adults. His mother had been in a bad mood ever since that strange man came to their house. Once they had packed their belongings, his mother drove in the southwest direction. Young An An had never seen the scenery they had passed throughout this journey before. Were going somewhere that isnt far away from Luo Hai. Some of the memories that I left behind are still there. Su Qingcheng smiled. She knew that her son would not understand what she meant by the memories that she left behind. However, she was certain that a person like herself who resembled a parasitic mistletoe nt could only survive in a city where Shao Yibai had left his mark. Chapter 389 - I Give Up. I Give Up This Time

Chapter 389: I Give Up. I Give Up This Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In Capital City... Shao Yibais expression was dark as he sat on the sofa in the living room and met his parents gazes with the indifference and cruelty of a miserable man. Within a few short years, he had changed from a kind-hearted and considerate man of steel into Capital Citys most popr yboy today. Shao Jingshan noticed this, but he protected his son without batting an eyelid. Shao Yibais eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was growing colder by the second. He was informed that Su Qingcheng had left Luo Hai with her son. She hadpletely vanished without a trace. This time, Shao Yibai did not search for her frantically as he previously did when she left Capital City. Instead, he sat quietly at home and spent the entire night smoking cigarettes. It seemed as though he had aged several years. Father, mother, I have something to say to you today. Shao Yibais voice was extremely hoarse. His gaze was strangely miserable and cold when he nced at his mother. Jiao Shuzhen sobbed. Shao Yibai had seen through her n to lure her enemy away from her territory long ago. However, her son did not fly into a terrible rage. On the contrary, he sat before his parents calmly. A bad feeling stirred in Jiao Shuzhens heart. She did not know what else to do beside crying to conceal her uneasiness. Yibai, your mother did this for your own good this time... When Shao Jingshan heard that Su Qingcheng had disappeared from Luo Hai, he knew that his wife had yed a part in this. The man sighed and continued defending his wife in front of his son. Father, Im not trying to criticize the both of you harshly. Shao Yibai interrupted his father. Nheless, his father was a fair man who would usually acknowledged it when his wife was either right or wrong. In terms of respectable men, Shao Yibai ranked his father at the top. Nevertheless, Shao Jingshan had forgotten that Shao Yibai was simr to him because he was his son. Shao Jingshan was bound to defend his wife. Likewise, Shao Yibai also wanted to spend his life loving and protecting someone else. Unfortunately, this right was stripped from him again. I wanted to tell both of you today that I wont get married and have a child for the rest of my life. I hope that youll respect my decision! Shao Yibais voice sounded dull and hollow, but he was actually iparably resolute. His gaze swept across Jiao Shuzhen. The woman burst into tears and wailed loudly, Yibai, you said that you werent angry with me, but youre doing this... If you refuse to get married for the rest of your life because of that woman, whats going to happen to the Shao Family in the future? Mother! There are many other things in life that are more important than getting married and having children, such as taking responsibility and being trustworthy. I told my lover that Id watch over her for the rest of my life. Ive only fallen in love once throughout my entire life. You kicked her out because she couldnt bear my children. Its impossible for me to fall in love with another woman. Thats why Ive decided that Ill never get married! Shao Yibais tone had never sounded this agonizing. He was very disappointed that Su Qingcheng hid herself from him, but he did not me her. After all, he had failed to protect her. When Jiao Shuzhen heard what her son said, she realized that she had shot herself in the foot again. Tears streamed down her face pitifully. Yibai, how can your mother be at ease if you spend the rest of your life as a lonely old man? Well, should I just marry someone that I dont love to make you happy while I make myself miserable? Shao Yibai seemed indifferent and distant when he got up from his seat. Without Su Qingcheng, the Shao Family will never have a young mistress! * At the bar... The man ordered several drinks on his own with misty eyes. He had not drank a lot of alcohol, but he was terribly drunk. He reyed the memories of his life throughout his mind. Suddenly, he realized that although he was blessed with many things, he lost a lot of them as well. In the end, he was left with absolutely nothing. He was all alone in the world. The woman who sat opposite him sighed quietly. Wei Hongmian had spent many years being entangled with him, but she never imagined that Shao Yibai would be so infatuated with that woman. She reached out and snatched the bottle of alcohol from Shao Yibai. The man was extremely amused by her annoyed expression. Wei Hongmian, are you done? Shao Yibai reached over and snatched the bottle from her. He nearly fell face down on the floor because of how unsteady he was. Wei Hongmian stretched her arms out and steadied him. She quietly rebuked, You havent given up yet? I give up! I give up this time... Shao Yibais smile was bewitching, but it also looked psychophatic. The rims of Wei Hongmians eyes were red. She sounded slightly emotional when she asked, Have you really given up? Yes! Shao Yibai nodded. His handsome face was slightly flushed. Since Ive given up on women, Ill never find any of them attractive ever again. I wont let them get close to me... Wei Hongmian was terribly shocked when she heard this. Shao Yibai was enjoying his life before this. Although she felt that his behavior was improper, she still admitted that he had a vivid personality. Perhaps they could ride out the storm together if she pulled him back to the right path. However, it seemed like the mans soul had left his body. He was terribly lethargic. Her entire body trembled as she stared at this unfamiliar man she once knew very well. Sadness welled up inside her at the sight of him like this. After a long pause, Wei Hongmian murmured, Shao Yibai, you should go and look for Miss Su if youre so besotted with her... What difference would it make if I went looking for her? Shes so stubborn... As long as we cant make an heir... Shell refuse to stay... The burdens in her heart... Theyre too heavy... Shao Yibai stammered. It sounded like he was choking back sobs. Wei Hongmians body continued to tremble. She debated whether she should speak or not. Finally, her face was filled with remorse as she opened her mouth and muttered, Yibai, about your premarital health examination report, I... I did something to it... Wei Hongmian noticed that the mans bright eyes were filled with burning rage when he raised his head abrptly. She was so afraid of him she could not continue her speech. Shao Yibai resembled a demon when he gritted his teeth and demanded, What did you say? I was madly in love with you at that time, so I bribed the doctor who did the premarital health examination... I didnt know that you were so infatuated with her... Wei Hongmian sobbed noisily, but Shao Yibai did not pity her at all. He leaped up from his seat. Youre a selfish woman! Xiaodai was so kind. How could you... Chapter 390 - Catfight

Chapter 390: Catfight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Shao Family was one of the most influential families in Capital City, but Wei Hongmians father used to be Shao Jingshans chief. The doctors were willing to risk offending the Shao Family for Wei Hongmian when she wanted to mess with the results after weighing the advantages and disadvantages of their actions. In the end, they agreed to Wei Hongmians request. Shao Yibai realized that Wei Hongmians wrong decision during a moment of weakness caused him and Su Qingcheng to lose many years together. He was particrly upset because his lover was so devastated that she repeatedly ran away from him His heart was filled with gloom. When Shao Yibai got up and left, his bodyguards in in clothes went out as well. The air in Capital City was terribly chilly in December. The north winds howled angrily and prated peoples skin. The man briefly staggered in the snow before he fell head first on the green belt beside the road. His bodyguard hurriedly rushed over and picked him up, but Shao Yibai was already in a half-awake and dazed state. Xiaodai, where are you... * In Yan Zhou... The scorching sun hang right in the sky, and the rays of sunshine were zing down on earth. This was the longest dry spell that she had experienced ever since she first arrived in Yan Zhou three years ago. Every single creature shriveled up its body in the afternoon on this hot summers day. You could almost hear the sizzling sound of their skin being roasted... Miss Su, pleasee to the school. Little Su Shaoan fought with his friends. Su Qingchengs warm mood turned cold when she received a phone call from Su Shaoans ss teacher. This was the third phone call she had received this month. Su Shaoan was already a second grader in elementary school, but he could not get rid of his bad habit of constantly getting into fights. The number of times she was getting called to school because his son had fought with the other kids in school was getting more and more frequent. It gave her headaches just thinking about it. She had opened a martial arts training center in Yan Zhou that taught children and teenagers wushu and fistfighting. Su Shaoans martial arts skills were naturally superior to the other kids since he grew up by Su Qingchengs side. The children whom he fought were being defeated left and right, and their parents naturally refused to let him off easily. The boys who were beaten up today were three children who were in higher grades. Their faces were dusted with bruises while the corner of one boys uniform was also torn. Su Shaoans clothes were slightly dusty, but he was fine. The stubborn expression on his little face annoyed one of the other parents. Youre his mother, but why dont you know how to educate your child? Look at how hes beaten up my son! The forty-year-old middle-aged woman spoke loudly in Yan Zhous local dialect. She pointed at Su Qingcheng and kicked up a big fuss in Miss Zhangs office. The other two parents were also acting very impulsively. The words they said were harsh and upsetting. That child was raised by his mother, but she obviously never taught him anything. Why dont you ask around in Yan Zhou and find out if the Hu Family are the kind of people you can just bully as you please? Well give you two options since your son has hurt our children so badly. You can either let our children beat him up in return or you can pay for their hospital bills and have your son kicked out of this school. Su Qingcheng remained calm as she assessed the situation. She ignored the other three parents causing a scene and turned to the teacher instead. She asked in a drawn-out manner, Miss Zhang, can you please tell me what happened? Miss Zhang knew that Su Shaoan came from a single parent household. This child was usually very polite in school. He was just a little cold and aloof toward the other students. The older students got beaten up when they ran to the entrance of the second-grade ssroom and provoked Su Shaoan. The other adults were clearly aware of the actual situation. However, Miss Zhang was rather afraid of one pair of parents because they were infamous for being local tyrants in the vige. If she helped Su Shaoan this time, there was a chance that those parents would use their connections to get her into trouble. Miss Su, your son Shaoan hit the other children. In my opinion, you should pay for their hospital bills right away to resolve this matter... Miss Zhang! Su Qingcheng could not suppress the rage in her heart anymore when she heard her tone. Su Shaoan who was next to his mother watched as her expression worsened. He moved his little body closer to hers. Su Qingcheng noticed the fear spreading throughout her young childs face when she lowered her head and looked at him. She lowered her voice and continued, Id like to resolve this issue, but it depends on what happened. Her gaze was sharp and vicious when she turned around and nced at the three arrogant and ruthless parents. She said, If Su Shaoan hit your children intentionally, Id obviously teach him a good lesson. However, I need someone to exin to me why all three of them were ganging up on him. Worse still, they were all older than Su Shaoan. What was going on? The three parents exchanged nces, but none of them spoke first. Deep down, they had a clear idea of what their own children were like. It was also true that their children were older than that boy. Su Qingchengs stance was still oppressive. Her beautiful face was bright red from the fury she was suppressing. The three parents felt as though she was provoking them. It looked like they were having a hard time getting rid of their own anger as well as they red at Su Qingcheng. Su Qingchengs voice sounded hoarse from the effort of restraining herself. Youre ming us because your children lost the fight. Thats why youre making a huge scene here. But Id like to ask a question: who would I need to seek to get justice if your children won today? The most arrogant parent who was the forty-year-old woman spoke first. She was unable to suppress her anger any longer, so she pulled her son over and pointed at Su Shaoan. Tell us then. Why would our sons fight with that little brat for no reason if there was nothing wrong in the first ce? The little boy became bolder because his mother was protecting him. He did not hold himself back as he inched closer to Su Shaoan. Su Qingcheng shielded Su Shaoan with her body by standing in front of him. She lowered her head and smirked. Turning to Su Shaoan, she asked, An An, can you tell me why you hit them? Su Shaoansplexion turned red before returning to its natural colors. Momentster, he gradually rxed his tightly knitted eyebrows. The boy lowered his head and muttered, They said that... I didnt have a father... They called me a b*stard... Su Qingcheng shuddered. The hand she had on her sons shoulder tightened. Her son did not know the full meaning of the word b*stard because he was still young, but he knew that it was an insulting term. My son, you fought well! Su Qingcheng smiled. She said, That doesnt mean that Im encouraging your actions, but you should make a move against someone when they are bullying you. Su Shaoans eyes lit up, and his pouty lips stretched into a smile. Mom, was my martial arts skills alright? Those big dummies thought that they could bully me. Miss Zhangs perspectives of life were thrown into a state of confusion when she heard the conversation between the mother and her son. The other three mothers who were present were bothered by this. What kind of mother would encourage her son to fight? What kind of woman are you to say these things? Well help you educate your son if you cant do it on your own... What do you mean by that? My son would never call another child a b*stard! Su Qingcheng straightened her back. Her imposing aura was honed by numerous years of martial arts training. The pressure made it rather difficult for the other parties to catch their breath. The first parent took a step back. She pointed her fat finger that was adorned with a gold ring at Su Qingchengs nose and yelled, A sly young woman like you is definitely bad news. You gave birth to that little b*stard... Yes, I agree. You mustve slept with a rich man to be able to open such a massive martial arts institution in Yan Zhou. I wonder who it was... Despite being in the presence of their children and the teacher, the three women started spouting nonsense incessantly. Su Qingcheng sneered and spat, All three of your children were no match for Su Shaoan. You can only imagine how strong his mother must be. Since you cant keep your mouths shut, I dont mind stepping in for the childrens grandmothers and teaching all of you a lesson! The three women became fearful when they noticed the murderous glint that had shed across Su Qingchengs bloodthirsty gaze. They turned to Miss Zhang for help and shouted, Miss Zhang, look at this. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. Weve only had a few words in, but shes already resorting to violence. Tell her that we have people backing us up! Miss Zhang had no idea what to do with this situation since a while ago. When she saw the how murderous Su Qingcheng looked, she hurriedly stepped forward to be the peacemaker. Miss Su, please dont be rash. Lets talk about it properly. Su Qingcheng gave a quick and sarcastic sh of a smile. It was them who had refused to discuss this matter reasonably in the first ce! Miss Zhang pulled Su Qingcheng aside and whispered, There are higher authorities in that family while youre just a single mother who has adopted an orphan. It would be better for you if you didnt upset them... Su Qingcheng had guessed from the beginning that the situation would end up like this. She smiled at Miss Zhang and said, Im not going to cause any trouble for you as their teacher. However, itll be impossible for Su Shaoan to remain in this school after this if we let them have their way today. After all, if an educator like yourself thinks that we should merely swallow our anger and bear with it, everyone else will think so as well! Growing up, Su Qingcheng was always the most obedient child in her family. That was why she was entirely aware that the most obedient child would not necessarily have the brightest future. Miss Zhang felt embarrassed after hearing Su Qingchengs criticism. She nced at the other three parents and sighed. She said to Su Qingcheng, Well, what do you want to do? Su Qingcheng said with a smile, I want them to admit that its their fault! Admit that it was their fault? The three women exchanged nces among themselves. The first woman stepped forward and snarled, Are you saying that you want our sons to get beaten up for nothing? Su Qingcheng smirked and looked at the three children from higher grades. She said in a calm manner, Boys, before you fight, you shouldve realized that there are only ever going to be two kinds of consequences. You would either win or lose the fight! Since youve failed to beat your opponent, you have two choices. For the first option, you can learn martial arts. Ill give you a twenty percent discount at my Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Center. As for the second option, you should stop fighting and control your mouth and hands instead! Upon saying this, Su Qingcheng took out several business cards and stuffed them into the first childs hand. The address of the martial arts center is written on the cards. Youre always wee toe! She pulled Su Shaoans arm and walked out of the office without turning back. The others were momentarily stunned and did not react in time. They merely suffered in silence as they were too afraid to step forward and stop her. The first parent said with gritted teeth, Ill get Bureau Chief Li to seal your institutionter! Su Qingcheng was obviously not afraid of having her institution closed down. Her martial arts training center had all five certificates in order. Their firefighting equipment was also the most advanced, and the business had already been certified. Speaking of which, Chief Zhang Han from Yan Zhous militarypound was actually the one who had assisted her... When Zhang Han discovered that the Little Su whom he knew from the past was actually a girl, he managed to guess that she was in a rtionship with Shao Yibai as well. He even assumed that Su Shaoan was Shao Yibais son... Su Shaoans face was filled with joy on the way home. After all, children could never conceal their true feelings. Unfortunately, Su Qingcheng had fallen into a deep state of anxiety now. It would certainly be bad for Su Shaoans growth if situations like this persisted. She turned this matter over in her mind, but she did not know what to do. Little boys needed to spend time with their fathers, but she could never ept another man. Shao Yibais figure was the only one that appeared in Su Qingchengs mind when she thought of men. She did not have many connections in Capital City, but Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai was still single after all these years... Su Qingcheng made a simple dinner for her son once they were home. After that, she turned on herputer. This was the first time that she had logged onto the QQ website after many years. She had stopped contacting Mu Chenyan and Miao Hong, but they were still friends on QQ. Su Qingcheng was briefly informed about Mu Chenyans return to Luo Hai. She saw that the pair had finally ended up together after facing various trials and tribtions. Su Qingcheng was extremely happy for them. She clicked on Mu Chenyans profile and saw the news about her second pregnancy. Suddenly, an indescribable pain stirred in her heart. If she could have Shao Yibais baby, neither of them would need to suffer... The years when she was twenty to twenty-eight years old were supposed to be the most important years of her life. Unfortunately, she had spent most of them running and hiding. Chapter 391 - Superb Smile

Chapter 391: Superb Smile

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan rarely went online ever since she got pregnant with her second baby. She would only go online when she wanted to have a video call with Yuan Tian who was far away overseas. It was much morefortable video chatting using herptop than her phone. That was why she would go online at a certain point of time. She never expected that she would see ament from Su Qingcheng when she logged onto the QQ website today. Mu Chenyan had posted a picture of her ultrasound scan on her profile. The woman who had disappeared for a long timemented with a smiley face emoji and wrote, Congrattions, Chenyan. I miss you very much! Mu Chenyan was extremely happy and excited. She shouted, Yuan Xuan,e here quickly. Chef Yuan wiped his hands and rushed out of the kitchen when he heard his wife yelling for him. The mans handsome face still looked the same as before. His distinctly angr and sharp features made him look cold. This man was blessed enough to get the chance to enjoy fatherhood for the second time. He beamed like a proud father with every move he made. It waspletely apparent. Whats wrong? Yuan Xuans voice was deep and raspy as he held Mu Chenyans shoulders. Mu Chenyan pointed at thement on her profile in excitement. When Yuan Xuan saw thementers name was Superb Smile, he understood everything at once. Is that Su Qingcheng? Mu Chenyan nodded right away. She changed her cell phone number and isnt using her original WeChat ount anymore, but shes been using her QQ ount all along. She probably left thisment when she went online. Yuan Xuan straightened up. A dull glimmer shed across his dark eyes as he took his cell phone and dialed Yan Juns number. Su Qingcheng logged onto her QQ ount two hours ago. Go and search for the address where she had logged on. Ill send you the original message. Yan Jun knew that this matter had something to do with Mr. Shao when he received the order. He hurriedly gathered the hackers and told them to get to work. In less than half an hour, they had discovered that she had logged on from Yan Zhou. * Mu Chenyan was still pretending to be Guo Jingzes wife in City A when Su Qingcheng left Luo Hai. Both women had quickly gotten new phone numbers and WeChat ounts to escape from their jilted lovers who were chasing after them. They had decided to sever all previous forms ofmunication with each other. They did note into contact with the other party at all during those two to three years. Their only remaining way of contacting each other was through QQ. Today, Su Qingcheng left ament on Mu Chenyans post without thinking much about it because she had merely felt nostalgic. She felt rather depressed when she went offline, so she stayed in the study room and wrote an entry to her diary. She had not lost her habit of writing her diary by hand after so many years. She left her first diary behind for Shao Yibai, and that was when it all started. She must write a few lines in her diary every day once her son was asleep. Sometimes she would write about the things she had realized about life. Most of the time, she wrote about her feelings for Shao Yibai. The woman took a shower after writing her diary, but she was unable to sleep. It was alreadyte. A light breeze rose and blew in this summer night. Su Qingcheng went out to the balcony and drank a bottle of beer. She was not a good drinker. She had only drunk with Shao Yibai in Capital City before, and he would always take advantage of her every time she drank too much. She was very obedient at that time. One look from Shao Yibai was enough to make her spread her slim legs. She matured with each passing year after she fled to Luo Hai. She fought with Shao Yibai, but she slept with him as well. She did not shy away from anything, including hurting him, just to get away from that man. Right now, he was in Capital City while she was in Yan Zhou. Su Qingchengughed at herself in her mind. It was impossible for her to escape from the maze that Shao Yibai had built around her. She had initiallye to Yan Zhou because this was the ce where their love had first blossomed. Back then, she had fallen in love with her instructor with the enthusiasm of a teenage girl and without caring about anything else... * The local people in Yan Zhou preferred to refer to Su Qingchengs Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Club as a martial arts center. Yan Zhou was a small city that was located near the border. She merely worked at this ce as a temporary martial arts coach when she first arrived here. The little children adored her because she was beautiful and gentle. She earned more money when she taught more sses. As it was the school holidays at that time, Su Qingcheng brought Su Shaoan with her so that she could teach more sses. He would learn with the other children during their sses. Now he had ended up causing trouble using the martial arts skills that he had mastered... In the end, Su Qingcheng decided to be a stockholder and own half of the club. The original owner spent several years in Yan Zhou before migrating overseas. He sold the remaining shares to Su Qingcheng at a low price. The training center that was rather well-known in Yan Zhou became Su Qingchengs property after that. There were about twenty to thirty people who were employed there. Some of them were retired soldiers while others were lonely people like her who had no one else to depend on. The club was busiest during the summer and winter holidays, but children would usuallye and attend the sses on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Right now, Su Qingcheng did not n to teach many sses. Her main aim was to take care of Su Shaoan and make it convenient for herself to manage the business. Today, little Su Shaoan looked at her with his glistening doe-like eyes as he put himself among a group of older boys and girls who were almost a foot taller than him to sit for her mothers lesson. Su Qingcheng shot a nce at him but remained silent. She had taught the students in this ss for almost three years, but they were still learning basic fistfighting because they did not practice daily. To be honest, Su Shaoans stamina and skills were superior to theirs. Su Qingcheng told the children to do their warm-up practices first. After that, they would do boxing and blocking for about half an hour before doing jiu-jitsu training for another thirty minutes. Su Shaoan underwent heart surgery when he was younger. Su Qingcheng had been too afraid to allow him to attend the training at first. However, she had never expected that his body would be fine after following their sessions for some time. Moreover, he had be even stronger than before. Su Qingcheng never stopped him from attending her lessons after that. After the recent fight at school, the little boy ensured that he would be on his best behavior today. His attitude was extremely cooperative, and he was very meticulous during the training session. Su Qingcheng walked up next to him. There was a charming smile on his face when he said, Mom... Call me Miss Su! Su Qingcheng did not care about giving him face at all. Little Su Shaoan kept quiet immediately. He exerted more force in his little fists as he waved them around. Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him. He would still need to attend school on Monday. Nheless, it would be less likely for him to get into trouble if he vented out his anger during these two days. On Monday, Su Qingcheng woke up early in the morning and made breakfast for Su Shaoan. After his meal, Su Shaoan went to school refreshed and with a full stomach. Su Qingcheng thought about reminding him about certain things again, but she realized that it was unnecessary. It would be somewhat unfair to him. Su Qingcheng would not approve it if he merely stood back and allowed other children to hit him. Mom, can we go and eat spicy hot pot for lunch after you pick me up from school today? Su Shaoan was not very friendly toward other people, but he knew how to pander to his mother. Su Qingchengs face grew stern. Its bad for little children to eat spicy food all the time. Im eating it to spend time with my mom. Su Shaoan smiled, trying his best to butter her up. Su Qingchengs heart warmed up. She ruffled her sons hair and replied happily, Alright, well discuss thister once youre done with school. The mother and son spent some time together before Su Shaoan set his mind at rest and entered the schoolyard. In the afternoon, Su Qingcheng put on some light makeup beforehand when she recalled her sons suggestion about going out to eat. Su Shaoan was slightly conceited. He would be delighted for a long time if his ssmatesplimented his mother on her beauty when she attended his parent-teacher meetings. Su Qingcheng put in some effort when she applied her makeup today so that she could give her son some face. She wore a light blue sleeveless long dress that highlighted her beautiful figure and her snow-white skin. She tried on her high-heels that she had not worn in a long time. Now that she was older, she exuded a more mature type of beauty. Although she did not constantly look at herself in the mirror, she knew that she was getting more beautiful. Despite that, she felt that her reflection looked rather stunning when she looked at herself in the mirror. She muttered to herself, It would look better if I wore high heels... Su Qingcheng grabbed her beige-colored handbag and looked at her watch. sses were almost over, so she decided to leave and drive to school then She waited at the entrance for some time. All of Su Shaoans ssmates had left, but she had not seen any sign of that little boy. Su Qingcheng began to grow anxious. Had the teacher forced him to stay back because he caused trouble again? She dialed Miss Zhangs cell phone number. The teacher was very shocked. Miss Su, Su Shaoans father came in the afternoon to pick your son up. Didnt you know that? Su Qingcheng was instantly stunned. His father? What father? Miss Zhang was little afraid. She stammered, He said that he was Su Shaoans father. He was a... A handsome man who spoke with an ent from the capital... A buzzing noise filled Su Qingchengs head. Her tone sounded rather desperate when she said, How could you let my son leave with someone else without getting my permission? Miss Zhang was extremely frightened now. She said tearfully, Your son said that he knew him, and that man had a family picture with all three of you in it. I really thought that he was his father. Miss Su, if there are problems in your family, please take your time and fix them. I think that the boy and his father are very close. It would be rather extreme if you kept refusing to let him see his son. This will be troublesome for your child when he grows up as well... Su Qingcheng was at a loss for words. How was that relevant to anything? Chapter 392 - You Have Always Known What I Wanted to Do

Chapter 392: You Have Always Known What I Wanted to Do

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng had overlooked the important information that Miss Zhang had mentioned moments ago because she was busy panicking. She hung up the phone and calmed her mind. Only then did she realize that the person who had whisked Su Shaoan away was a handsome man who spoke with an ent from the Capital. An An knew this man as well. Was it really Shao Yibai? Su Qingcheng could not help herself from bing extremely anxious when she thought of that name. After turning the matter over in her head for quite some time, she was almost certain that he was the man. Su Qingcheng did not know how Shao Yibai had found her in Yan Zhou, but he was the only person who fit the teachers description. Su Qingcheng could not think of anyone else. Su Shaoan had been a vignt child ever since he was young. He would never leave with a stranger. During their final moments in Luo Hai, Shao Yibai decided to take up the role as the childs adoptive father. He was very close to Su Shaoan during that period of time. Su Shaoan had alwayscked fatherly love. Shao Yibai had managed to win Su Shaoans heart at that time because he was handsome, confident, gentle, and good with children. Su Shaoan still thought of Shao Yibai after they left Luo Hai. He had mentioned Shao Yibai in subtle ways in front of his mother many times. The little brat had probably flung himself into his arms without any integrity when they met again. As for the family photo with all three of them, Su Qingcheng had every reason to believe that it was merely a photo of Su Shaoan and Shao Yibai that she waster Photoshopped into... Su Qingcheng ced her hand on her forehead. She was terribly annoyed. Her own son whom she had raised had been merely living off of her while running into another pair of arms. The most urgent matter right now was to find Su Shaoan. Su Qingcheng had changed her cell phone number, but that man had not. She knew his phone number by heart. Su Qingchengs little hand trembled as she held her phone in her hand. Her heart could not stop thumping wildly. The mans voice sounded hazy, raspy, and electrifying when he picked up the phone. Xiaodai? Su Qingchengs heart stopped beating for a moment. Shao Yibai, I... If you want your son back,e and find me. Ill send you the address. The man spoke in a mild-mannered tone, but he could not hide his domineering manner. He would not allow her to decline. The other party had already hung up the phone before Su Qingcheng could ask more about what had happened. He did not give her any time to think. Su Qingcheng was perplexed as she held her phone in her hand. She had no idea what Shao Yibai was doing. She had hidden while he remained in broad daylight, but the situation had reversed itself in just one day. It seemed as if he had had control over everything. Three minutester, she returned to her senses when the notification alert for an iing message sounded on her phone. Shao Yibai had sent her the address of the only hotel in Yan Zhou with a starred ranking... Su Qingcheng gritted her teeth. It looked like this man had really chased her all the way to Yan Zhou. She wondered what she had done wrong. Zhang Han would not sell her out because she had already exined everything to him. On the other hand, Su Shaoan did not have any weapons or methods to betray her and help the enemy even if he wanted to. How could he have contacted Shao Yibai? Su Qingcheng was clearly unaware that a randomment that she had left ended up exposing her location. She drove toward the west. Deep down, she was nervous but also extremely excited. She had spent three years running around in circles, but she had failed to escape that mans grasp. She wondered if this meant that their destinies were still intertwined. Numerous possible meetings had shed in Su Qingchengs mind, but she felt a little nervous now that it was actually happening before her eyes. The young parking attendant at the hotels front desk took Su Qingchengs car away. The woman wore high-heels, but her footsteps were so frantic that she nearly sprained her ankle when she was dashing into the elevator. She only managed to calm herself down with great difficulty. The elevators doors finally opened after that. Su Qingcheng had yet to think of what to say to Shao Yibai when they met, but the mans face had already entered her line of sight. His striking features made him seem both innocent and bewitching. The man seemed much moreposed now that he had been through years after years of hardships. The corners of Shao Yibais mouth stretched into a smile. He seemed arrogant and aloof. Su Qingcheng had just walked out of the elevator. Before she could even speak, the man had grabbed her and cornered her against the wall. Su Qingcheng was extremely anxious. She tried to push Shao Yibais body away that was inching closer to her by the second. Her voice trembled when she said, What are you doing? Wheres my son? Do you want your son back? Shao Yibais voice was hoarse as his Adams apple bobbed. His gaze did not leave Su Qingcheng for a second. Both of their bodies were pressed tightly against each other without any gaps in between. Shao Yibai ced his forehead against the top of Su Qingchengs head. Every time he breathed, warm air would spread around her... Shao Yibai! What are you doing... Su Qingcheng was terribly anxious. Her watery ck doe-like eyes made her seemed like an innocent young girl. Shao Yibai did not know how she still managed to look like this after eight years had passed. He restrained his emotions. His deep raspy voice was right next to her ear when he said, Youve always known what I wanted to do. If you want your son back, youll have to please me! His dark silhouette came pressing down. He seemed unusually aggressive when he pouted his red lips now. The man swallowed Su Qingchengs dull moan in full. There were surveince cameras and passersby in the corridor here... The final sliver of rationality that shed across Su Qingchengs mind was thinking of those things. However, her thoughts drifted along with the mansrge hands as they wandered around her body the next second. The zipper of the light blue dress that she wore was at the back. The mans big hands had already groped around and reached for it as he was taking her breath away. He would probably have torn this dress to shreds long ago if they were not in the corridor... Su Qingcheng felt as though the oxygen supply had been cut off from her brain when they kissed. Before she could even reflect on how she had fallen into his arms right after they met, Shao Yibai had already pressed her against the king-sized bed in the hotel room. Her smooth and supple skin was exposed to the air as her dress fell to the floor. Shao Yibai... Listen to me... Su Qingchengs sense of reason slowly faded away when Shao Yibais little teeth pinched her back and made her feel a piercing pain. She could not see the crazed expression on Shao Yibais face as her back was turned to him. She could only feel the force of his lips and the frantic movements of hisrge hands. This made her even more frightened. Dont say anything. I just want to do this! Shao Yibai was breathing heavily. He was using his lips to mark his territory. A red streak appeared on Su Qingchengs skin as he nibbled it. Shao Yibai... Ah! Su Qingcheng was trying to suppress her soft cries, but a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of the mans lips... Censored 1 The hotel room was sound-proof, but Su Qingcheng was still too afraid to yell out loud. Shao Yibai became more aggressive when she acted like that though... Su Qingcheng had stronger stamina than the average person, but there were moments when it was physically impossible for her to keep up with him. Since she could not see the intoxicated expression on his face, she could merely endure his forceful actions. This filled her with a stifling and fearful feeling. She had not seen Shao Yibai for many years, but she could not understand why they had tomunicate with each other in this manner when they met. Were they not supposed to talk about the weather in Capital City or whether Tian Qi was doing well in Luo Hai? Su Qingcheng only understoodter that this man was using his body to tell her that he missed her very much. Xiaodai! Hmm? The woman waspletely exhausted. She seemed as obedient and adorable as she used to before when she copsed in hisp. You can never leave me again! Otherwise, Ill make you so tired that you cant get off the bed. That way, you wont have any strength left to run away! Su Qingchengs heart trembled. She did not dare to promise that she would not run away. Shao Yibai had seemingly read her mind. The man murmured, Ill make you pregnant with my baby, but youll have to cooperate with me during this process. Su Qingcheng was at a loss. She foolishly asked, How should I cooperate with you? Could it be that a miraculous drug that could modify gics and alter chromosomes existed now? Shao Yibai looked at the woman in his arms. He had left traces all over her snow-white skin. He could not help but smile when she looked at him with that cute and naive face. Youll just have to spread your legs properly! The man turned over and pressed his body mercilessly on top of hers again as he said this... Chapter 2 - Butler Fu, You Found the Wrong Person

Chapter 2: Butler Fu, You Found the Wrong Person

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion An investigation was carried out, evidence was collected, and she was put on trial... Given theck of substantial evidence, the case was re-examined to look for more evidence, and the court hearing would continue... To her dismay, after that one meeting with Yuan Xuan, he never appeared again! What more, Yuan Xuan even cut off all means for her to be bailed out those who bailed her out would be killed mercilessly! The Mu Family certainly did not dare to offend Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan thought that the case would soon be concluded and what awaited her would be nothing more but death! Hence, she gave up appealing her case and chose to fight in silence. But she was too optimistic! Yuan Xuan did not leave her to her own destruction though... ... Miss Mu, Im yourwyer. Mr Yuan appointed me to take full responsibility for your case! Since then, thewyer named Wu Ze was the person whom Mu Chenyan came in contact with the most over the seven hundred plus days. This renownedwyer eventually became the person who cared the most about her life and death. From the first trial to the second trial, and from the second trial to the appeal, all these took half a year! Mu Chenyan noted Wu Ze dutifully performing his duties! Hence, from the ruling of the death penalty to life imprisonment andter to being acquitted, Mu Chenyan stayed aloof from the case, as if she was just watching someone elses story unfolding. ... Every night amidst the dead silence, Mu Chenyan would stare at the ceiling in a daze, recalling Yuan Xuans words! Does he hate me? I am sure he does! He thinks that I killed Shu Qinger! Her once naive belief of one could achieve anything with sincerity (TN: the Chinese idiom literally trantes as sincerity splits open metal and rocks) went up in smoke on the day Shu Qinger died! Who was the father of that fetus, was it really Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyan never even dared to ponder the answer to that question! However, she knew that in the end, Shu Qingers body was buried in the Yuan Familys private cemetery, along with the unborn fetus. ... Exiting the ck iron gate, the free, cool air filled Chen Muyans lungs... Looking up at the gloomy sky, the corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards. Mu Chenyan gently wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes! The autumn rain is always lingering and moving. Luo Hai City had been gued with a haze for a week, and it was rare for the sky to clear up a little today! The roads were washed by the rain again and again. On the wet paths, the potholes had been filled with water. The cold wind blew, making the puddles of water rippled and shimmered. Mu Chenyan tightened the thin, old coat around her body. The pair of canvas shoes on her feet was still the same pair sent by her older brother when she was first imprisoned! Mud and rainwater sttered onto the shoes, which had been washed until its color had faded. A cold chill that could pierce the heart spread up from the soles of the feet. Stepping forward, Mu Chenyan was oblivious as her shoes continuously got battered by the rainwater on the ground... A ck Jaguar braked suddenly and stopped right next to Mu Chenyan! The shrill braking sound caused Mu Chenyan to lift her head up. Her expression was cold and indifferent as her clear eyes sized up the pair of old and younging out of the car! The old man had white hair with a face that must have been as distinctive as it had been in the past ten years, the veins on his dry red skin bulging. He met Mu Chenyans gaze and spoke, Young Mistress, Young Master had asked Ah Fu and me to bring you to the Yuan Family Mansion! The young girl standing beside him must be Ah Fu. She had a thin figure but was respectfully supporting Butler Fu. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Yuan Xuan himself did note, but he sent Butler Fu over. Could this be considered as giving her face? After all, Butler Fu was someone who had gone through fire and water with Old Master Yuan. His current position in the Yuan Family was not lower than that of Young Master! Ah Fus eyes, which was clear as water, was curiously observing Mu Chenyan! When she first arrived at Yuan Family Mansion, Mu Chenyan was already imprisoned! Everyone in the Yuan Family Mansion was aware of the current situation of their Mistress, but being wise and discreet, they chose not to mention anything! Ah Fu was only brought into the Yuan Family by her grandfather, Butler Fu, because the Old Mistress wanted to find a suitable maidservant to serve Yuan Xuan, the Young Master. She had stayed by the Young Masters side for two years, but the Young Mistress whom she had never met before was in front now. Ah Fu could not resist her snooping heart, so when her grandfather was sent to bring the Young Mistress home, she volunteered to follow. Mu Chenyan shivered in the cold, and her body contracted in the cotton coat. An undetectable scoff emerged on her pale little face. Butler Fu, youve got the wrong person! Theres only Mu Chenyan here, no Young Mistress! Chapter 394 - I’ve Also Longed For This Day, For Many Years Already…

Chapter 394: Ive Also Longed For This Day, For Many Years Already...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was no point in dwelling on this issue any further. Su Qingcheng quickly sold her properties in the Yan State. Someone from the Capital City had been sent to pick both of them up. Shao Yibai kept his words and did not allow Su Qingcheng to meet An An from the beginning to the end. When they returned to Capital City, the Shao family had already prepared a newlywed house waiting for the bride to move in. Jiao Shuzhens attitude was also extremely enthusiastic, and Shao Jingshan had even sent a chef to take care of her daily diet. Su Qingcheng was not used to it, and she was a little overwhelmed with ttery. Shao Yibai were off during the weekends, so he wanted to bring her to buy clothes. I have enough clothes. Besides, Ive gained weight recently, so lets wait until Ive slimmed down before buying. Su Qingcheng wanted to refuse, but it seemed like Shao Yibai did not understand her words. He dragged her out as he wished, and she did not even have time to put on makeup. The car moved at full speed up until they arrived at a huge wedding dress chain organization. Only then did Su Qingcheng realized that Shao Yibai was talking about wedding dresses. The servicedy sounded very eager, and it seemed like she knew Shao Yibai. Mr. Shao, pleasee in! Lets see if you like our wedding dress theme this season. She brought Shao Yibai and Su Qingcheng to the VIP area as she spoke. After pouring a drink for the two of them, the servicedy looked at Su Qingcheng politely and smiled gently. Mr. Shao, your wife is really beautiful. Although she did not put on any makeup, she has very nice features that suit the theme for this season. Shao Yibai seemed to be very happy when someone praised his beautiful wife. The corner of his lips curled up, and he could not suppress how proud he was. Bring me the album and let me have a look. The theme of this season was the starry sky, so all the wedding dresses looked airy and flowy but not extravagant. All the essories were simple. There were norge-sized diamonds in sight, yet the dresses still seemed very elegant. After going through the album once, Su Qingcheng had already found a couple of designs that she liked. Even though she did not say anything, she secretly liked them very much. Shao Yibai was choosing very seriously. With holographic imaging technology, they could simte the effect of wearing the wedding dresses without needing to go through the tedious process of undressing. Su Qingcheng and Shao Yibai went on choosing for a long time. After going through the few designs that they had picked, they finally came down to just two designs, one in Western style and one in Chinese style. In addition to the main wedding dress, they still had to choose a guest-greeting dress and a wine toasting dress. Therefore, Shao Yibai took Su Qingcheng to a few more stores. Fortunately, the two of them were not particrly picky, so they managed to settle everything in one day. The only thing left to do was to wait for the dresses to be made so that she could try it on. Shao Yibai was driving the car, and Su Qingcheng could not help but ask on their way back, Why does it seem like youre so familiar with the people in these stores? Before you came back, I often visited the stores! Shao Yibai said. Then, he paused and turned to look at Su Qingcheng affectionately. He knew that she would not understand why he visited the stores for nothing, so he continued, Ive always fantasized that I would bring you there one day. Su Qingcheng took a deep breath and looked at Shao Yibai deeply with her misty eyes. She caressed the mans tall nose and whispered in a low voice, Big Brother Shao, Ive also longed for this day for many years already... Tell me, this isnt a dream, right? You fool! Shao Yibai pinched her little nose and said, Of course its not a dream! Then, let me pinch you and see if it hurts? Okay! The man nodded earnestly. Su Qingcheng snorted and said, You are such a fool. Youll be hurting, not me. I still dont know if Im dreaming or not! Then, what about I pinch you? Shao Yibai said whileughing naughtily. Su Qingcheng pushed him and said, Focus on driving! Shao Yibai saw the forked road in front and turned the steering wheel to the other side. Su Qingcheng noticed that it was not the way home and she found it strange. Where are we going? Shao Yibai did not answer and continued to focus on driving. When they were getting closer to the suburbs, Su Qingcheng saw the signpost indicating the forest park. She recalled that this ce was very far away from home and got a little angry. What are you doing again? Shao Yibai parked the car in a quiet ce on the side of the road, unbuckled the seat belt, and said in a hoarse low voice, I have not tried doing it in the car yet... Su Qingcheng was left speechless. Chapter 395 (END) - The End: Happy and Sweet Together

Chapter 395: The End: Happy and Sweet Together

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When it came to sex, Su Qingcheng was never one to overdo it, but she was not against it either. Especially after being separated from Shao Yibai for so many years, she had an unusual desire towards it. However,pared with the huge bed at home, Su Qingcheng did not consider doing it in the carfortable. Besides being mentally tensed, the car was also narrow and small. Even though she was extremely terrified, the man would not be satisfied. Up until the end, she had no choice but to beg for mercy softly. Then, she bit on his shoulders and provoked him to surrender in advance. Her entire body was aching, and it felt as if bones were being torn apart. She thenined softly. If this goes on, will I be able to live a happy life if we get married? Shao Yibai kissed her blushing little face with affection, Your husband loves you so much, why are you stillining? Su Qingcheng refused to ept Shao Yibais im as her husband. We still have not gotten a license yet. We only slept together for a few times, and youre already calling yourself that. Arent you a little shameless? Shao Yibaiughed softly and said, Well get our license on Monday. Su Qingcheng thought that the man was just trying to make her happy. After all, she only mentioned it in passing and was not in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Shao Yibai was someone who actually meant the things she said. On Monday morning, Shao Yibai dragged Su Qingcheng out of the bed and said that they were going to get a marriage license. The door of the Civil Affairs Bureau almost in contact with the tip of Su Qingchengs nose, yet the woman was still a little confused. How did the situation change so quickly? Since Shao Yibai did not have any military ranking at the moment, things were much simpler than thest time. Before Su Qingcheng could adapt to the transformation, the red marriage certificates had already been handed over to the two of them. Shao Yibai held Su Qingchengs hand in one hand and the certificate in other. The smile on his face had gotten deeper and he could not wait to announce to the world that he had already gotten a wife. There was no need for him to live alone until he died anymore. Su Qingcheng looked at the foolish smile on his face and did not say anything to bring him down. After all, it was indeed not easy for an old man! The only thing left to do was to prepare for the wedding. The rtives were not a problem as the Shao Family did not have that many family members. There were only a few close rtives who were able to make use of the Shao Familys connection. They had mainly invited Shao Jingshans colleagues, friends, andrades. After Jiao Shuzhens careful verification, the invitation, wedding cakes, and wedding candies were being delivered. The members of Luo Hais Yuan Family would also be present. Moreover, Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan would be present. When Su Qingcheng thought about meeting Mu Chenyan, she had gotten a little excited. She did not have any family members and Mu Chenyan was one of her very few friends. Thus, she was happy that she coulde. Su Qingcheng also decided to invite Li Ji and Miao Hong. Miao Hong found out that the two of them had finally gotten together and she burst into tears of joy. However, she recalled that she did not even have an identity and could not help but feel hurt. * After the Spring Festival, Capital City had finally weed spring after a winter baptism. Shao Yibais wedding banquet was chosen to be on thest week of May. The higher up officials proposed an economic wedding, so aside from those who had been invited by the Shao Family, no one else were not allowed to attend the wedding. The wedding banquet was not extravagant, and the wedding gifts were just regr ones. Shao Yibai wore a high-end custom tailored suit, and he kept looking at his watch from time to time before he was to pick up Su Qingcheng. He was afraid of missing it, and Yuan Xuan found it funny just by looking at him. Its your first time being a groom, not to mention that youre an old man. Thus, it is inevitable for you to be nervous! Yuan Xuan smiled lightly and joked. Shao Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, Youre saying as if you have been a groom for several times already! At the very least, we have already gotten together. Besides, we already have a son and a daughter. Im no doubt the winner in life, so I think Im qualified to mock you. Yuan Xuan could not help but unt. His gaze had already fallen onto his wife. Shao Yibai rolled his eyes in annoyance. Yuan Xuan was taking revenge. He was venting out all the losses and anger that he had gotten from Shen Muqiu. Mu Chenyan had gained weight after Yuan Xuans days and nights effort. Two months after she gave birth to the baby, her weight remained high and she had seeded in gaining 20 pounds. Therefore, sheined to Su Qingcheng with a sour look on her face. You should not eat too much after being pregnant. Ive gained so much weight that I cant fit into any clothes and its so annoying. Su Qingcheng felt that Mu Chenyan seemed a little more attractive after she had gained weight. When a woman got thicker, there would be a different kind of charm. Su Qingcheng smiled and said, Im still nowhere close to getting pregnant... She wore the starry sky themed wedding dress. The thin and flowy mesh long tail was dragging on the floor, and it entuated Su Qingchengs temperament. Shao Yibai had arranged two little kids to hold the ends of the dress. Su Shaoan looked at his mother getting married with a funny look on his face... The wedding scene was decorated with thousands of Su Qianchengs favorite lilies, and the fragrance of the flowers permeated the air. The male and female protagonists were very attractive. Two children were holding the ends of Su Qingchengs dress. One of the children was Su Shaoan, who was wearing a small little bow tie, and the other was Shao Yibais cousin brothers youngest daughter, who was adorably lively. Su Qingcheng was extremely nervous, and when it was time to exchange rings, her little hands trembled visibly. Shao Yibai could tell that she was nervous, so he held her hand tightly and caressed it before putting on the wedding rings that they had custom-made previously. Mr. Shao of the Capital City had a sly smile on his face. He was so happy that he was smiling from ears to ears. On the wedding night... Everyone knew that he still had a task tonight, so they did not force him to drink at the end. Even so, Shao Yibai was still a little drunk. When they returned to their new house, Su Qingcheng made him some hangover soup. While the man drank the soup, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman of his dreams. After 9 years, they finally got together. Xiaodai... Yes? Pinch me! Dont worry, this is not a dream! Su Qingcheng was getting impatient. This was Shao Yibais 101st time asking her to pinch him. Give me a head massage. My head hurts a little, the man said softly. Su Qingcheng sighed, kneeled beside him, and massaged his head. Shao Yibaiid on the huge bed and enjoyed the massage for a moment. However, the scent of the woman was too tempting. Under the influence of alcohol, the man felt a surge of warmth rose in his heart. Suddenly, he turned around and pulled the absent-minded woman under him. Then, he pressed his warm lips towards her, along with his alcoholic breath. Su Qingcheng snorted sulkily, but she did not refuse him. She was alerted when he realized the mans hands on her body were bing restless. She quickly grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, No! It was their wedding night, so why not? Shao Yibai frowned, and he was somewhat unhappy. After all, Su Qingcheng had always given in to him when it came to this. Su Qingchengs eyshes were very long. She lowered her eyes in embarrassment and said shyly, I... might be pregnant... What? The man was unable to form a response at the moment. Su Qingcheng said a little angrily, I havent gotten my period for two months already... Shao Yibai was stunned, and he had an odd look on his handsome face. You mean, here... Shao Yibai flipped over and jumped out of the bed. He pointed at her stomach with an unbelievable look on his face. Damn it, he was pressing against it just now!! Su Qingcheng nodded gently. Yes! Shao Yibai danced in a circle twice excitedly. Tomorrow, we need to change Su Shaoans name to Shao Suan! Shao Yibai was speaking nonsense, and Su Qingcheng was stunned. Mu Chenyans children did not use Yuan as their surnames... She thought of Yan Muyu and how Yuan Xuan did not mind that he who followed his grandmothers surname! At that time, Shao Yibai was half sober already. He sat down, caressed Su Qingchengs stomach, and exined softly, We are not An Ans birth parents and youre pregnant now, so Im afraid that he might feel left out when we have our baby. Since weve adopted him, we must give him a proper status! Su Qingcheng felt a strange warmth in her heart. She finally understood the reason why the others praised him. He was the War of God when he wore a military uniform, but he was a poet when he took off his military uniform! He was truly a gentleman, so she was relieved to hand over the rest of her life to such a man. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 5 - Does Young Mistress Still Use Rose Petals?

Chapter 5: Does Young Mistress Still Use Rose Petals?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Hibiscus Garden was filled with roses and hibiscuses that the Yuan Old Mistress liked when she was younger! Back then, Old Mistress and Old Master were both deeply in love with each other, but their fate together was destined to notst long. Old Master was afraid that he might pass before Old Mistress and she will be left alone. Therefore, he nted hibiscus trees all around the core buildings of the mansion. He did that during thest year of his life as his body was getting weaker by the days. Even though their love was as deep as the ocean, but unfortunately that was the end of it! Due to the example of a loving parent, Yuan Tangbai and his wife also loved each other deeply. Thus, when Yuan Tangbai passed away, his wife could not take the hit and left the world with him! The men of Yuan Family were all very loving and loyal to their spouses, but unfortunately, there were not many of them left when it came to Yuan Xuan... This young sessor was cold, arrogant and extremely wise mentally! Mu Chenyan recalled that she had chased after him for 12 years ever since the age of 10, but it seemed like he never once smiled at her! ... Mu Chenyan took a turn around the Hibiscus Garden. It had not changed much since a few years ago. The area of the house was not that big. There were three floors in total and the structures of the house were constructed from wood. Most of the furniture pieces were also in natural wood color. The living room was on the first floor, with a small tea room right next to it, furnished in Japanese style decoration! Yuan Xuan liked to make his own tea and coffee, so that area was always filled with an aromatic smell! Previously when Chenyan visited the Yuan Mansion, she would linger there and take the first sip of coffee right after Yuan Xuan was done making it! Yuan Xuan did not chase her away even though he was not close to her back then. Therefore, Chenyan had quite a number of beautiful memories in this sunny little tea room! Outside of the tea room was an extended piece of emptynd, where a rtively small room was made for the maids in the house so that it was easier for them to take care of their Master at night. Yuan Xuan has been pampered more than the others since young. Given that the Yuan Family took the concept of social status very seriously, their servants were not allowed to live in the same building as their Master. Thus, a stand-alone room was built and Ah Fu lived there. There were two bedrooms and a study room on the second floor. One of the bedrooms faced south and the other faced east. Yuan Xuan resided in the bedroom that was facing south. The third floor was a small rooftop and Yuan Xuan turned that area into a small garden. There were some woody nts and some flowers which Mu Chenyan did not know the name though she understood that they were all exotic flower seeds from all over the world. That ce also used to be Mu Chenyans favorite spot. Only in that colorful world, Mu Chenyan felt that her Brother Xuan actually existed in this world! How can a man who loved flowers and nts be so cold? She naively thought since she had been putting in the effort, how could her love not change his cold heart? But now, Mu Chenyan believed that whether a man was loving or not, it all depended on who the other person was! If a man does not love a woman, no matter how much effort the woman put in, it will all just be bothersome to the man! ... After taking a turn at the small building, she was reminded of her past memories. The items in the small building were arranged neatly and tidily as if each of them were soldiers ready to get into a battle as they waited for an inspection from their boss. Yuan Xuan was a very possessive person, not allowing other people to casually touch his belongings. He was an end-stage sufferer of obsessivepulsive disorder! Nheless, she was able to enter this area as she pleased and behave like a spoiled child freely back then! It seemed as though Mu Chenyan was able to look at the past ten years, back in the days when her young-self was chasing after Yuan Xuan... ... Mu Chenyan tightened her old jacket around her. Instead of sitting down, she turned around and instructed Ah Fu. Fill the bathtub with water, I want to take a bath! Young Mistress, do I still add rose petals into it? Ah Fu asked carefully! The look on Chenyans face turned gloomy. She lowered her eyes and said softly, Yuan Xuan told you that? Yes! Young Master said that if Young Mistress were to take a bath when shes back, rose petals will be a necessity. Thus, a few days ago, he sent someone to order a batch of fresh rose petals from Damascus. The gardeners have cleaned it and it is now the best time to use it in your bath! After all, this young girl was still very naive, so she blurted out everything about her Master in just a few sentences! Probably because of Yuan Xuans actions and before meeting Mu Chenyan, Ah Fu believed that Young Mistress was Young Masters loved one... Put some in then! Chenyan had an indifferent expression and it seemed as though she was not moved by Ah Fus words! After two years in prison, even a proud youngdy from a well-known family had changed all her old habits. She used the rose petals as a sign of good will to not waste that mans effort! Mu Chenyan smiled ironically! ... Chapter 6 - It Has Been So Long, Do You Not Miss Me At All?

Chapter 6: It Has Been So Long, Do You Not Miss Me At All?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The bathroom was foggy and misty. Chenyanid down on the edge of the bathtub with her eyes slightly closed! The thick fog in the bathroom started rising gradually. The hot air stimted Mu Chenyans snow-like skin turning it slightly red. Her skin looked as delicate as a newly blossomed lotus flower! Her dark strands of hair rested on top of her forehead obediently. She rested her headzily on one side of her slender arms and gently massaged her earlobe with the other... When Yuan Xuan returned home and saw this scene, he had a desire to dominate this delicate cat-like woman. His piercing gaze never once left the self-indulging woman in the water and he smiled... Once upon a time, this cat-like woman used to stay in his ce and acted like a spoiled child. Even though he was cold and mean to her, she did not seem to care! She used to call him Brother Xuan all the time and often moved her palm-sized tiny little face right in front of him. Her eyshes were so long that it could almost reach his cheeks... Bother Xuan, do you not n to consider liking me? No! At that time, Yuan Xuan had always rejected her without any hesitation and poured cold water on her confession! Ish! Forget it, even if you dont like me, you cant stop me from being your little fan! Im warning you, even if you do not like me, you cant stop me from liking you! At that time, Mu Chenyan was really persistent! ... Yuan Xuan looked at the woman in the bathtub and his thoughts traveled a little far back into the past! Young Master, Old Mistress asked you to visit her when youre back! Ah Fus voice was light, but it still shocked Mu Chenyan! She opened her eyes in shock, and met the dark gaze of the man standing at the doorway of the bathroom. She hurriedly grabbed the towel by the edge of the bathtub and covered her chest. Mu Chenyan bit her lips in an attempt to hide her nervousness. She did not know when did Yuan Xuan return home and how long had he been standing at the doorway looking at her! Tell Grandma Im taking a bath and Ill be there shortly! Yuan Xuan turned around, looked at Ah Fu with an indifferent expression and waved his hand. Ah Fu quickly rushed forward to help him take off his coat and hung it on a hanger! Chenyan heard him said that he wanted to take a bath and recalled that she was using his bathtub. She hurriedly shouted at Ah Fu, Girl, bring me my clothes! In fact, she did not have any clothes here! Before she had moved in officially, she was already brought to prison! To be exact, she had yet to truly step into the Yuan Familys door, so why would she have any clothes here? The situation at this moment was different, even wearing a servants uniform was better than being naked in front of Yuan Xuan... There is no need for that! Shes not done bathing yet! A significant smile appeared on Yuan Xuans face as he looked at the woman in the water with a moist and red flush. A hint of tender emotion shed through his dark eyes! Ah Fu was just turning around to get a bathrobe, but she froze in ce upon hearing Yuan Xuans words. Did Young Master mean that he is going to take a bath with Young Mistress? Ah Fus outlook on life was being changed slowly. Was this the emotionless Young Master that she knew? After two years of being with Yuan Xuan, other than seeing him at the tea room every day, the only time that he revealed a little emotion was when he took care of his garden at the rooftop! Ah Fu could not believe that the Young Master that she knew would actually take a bath with someone else! When Mu Chenyan saw how Yuan Xuan was really going to do it, she got even more nervous and moved her body backward. Dont leave so quickly, help me take a bath! He said to Mu Chenyan. Ah Fu finally confirmed that the Young Master was really nning to do that, so she hurriedly left the room in a flutter. Yuan Xuan ignored the dumbfounded look on Mu Chenyans face. He took off his clothes and wrapped a towel around his waist. V line abs, protruding sphenoid bones, firm abs, and deep six-pack abs... Yuan Xuan took off his clothes as if there was no one around and Mu Chenyan had a full view of his body... After Yuan Xuan was done wrapping a towel around his waist, he turned around and saw Mu Chenyan avoiding him unnaturally. The water sshed around when Yuan Xuan entered the extremely huge bathtub that was covered with rose petals. He stretched hisrge hands out and said in a sexy low voice, Come here! His alpha male aura was overwhelming. Mu Chenyan red at his face that she was once obsessed with furiously. Her body shivered slightly and she moved her body backward to stay as far away from him as possible! Sensing the womans intention to escape, Yuan Xuan stood up and pulled her into his arms without saying a word. He lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes! Dont you miss me after so long? The man sounded like a seductive devil and his warm breath blew onto Chenyans face! Chapter 7 - Wait For Me Tonight

Chapter 7: Wait For Me Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Chenyan red at Yuan Xuan coldly with an emotionless look on her face! A feeling rose from the bottom of her heart and she wished that the man right in front of her could just disappear so that they will never, ever have to meet again! Do you want to burn me into ashes right now? Seeing how she stayed silent, Yuan Xuan sneered and his abnormally handsome face seemed extremely malicious! He caressed her lips with his rough fingers and his dark eyes were like little stars in the sky. From the reflection of his dark eyes, Mu Chenyan saw her pale face and she felt the dangerous aura around him! Yuan Xuan, did you think that I would still be obsessed with you like how I was before? Mu Chenyans voice was hoarse and trembling. However, the look on her face was extremely vicious! You killed my father and ruined the Mu Family. Now you expect me to leave the past behind and remained the Mu Chenyan from before? Ive died once, and now I wont be that dumb! After saying that, Mu Chenyan attempted to push the man away with a determined look on her face! Yuan Xuan strengthened his grip on her to prevent her from escaping. Seeing how he shamelessly held onto her and both of them did not have any clothes on... She swung her hand furiously and a loud p was heard. Her palmnded right on Yuan Xuans face! A p mark could be seen clearly on his face! For a moment, Mu Chenyan thought that Yuan Xuan would strangle her to death! In Luo Hai City, the Southeast Coast, and Country Z, there were only less than 10 people who dared to hit Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan, the woman who was once so obsessed with him actually pped him after not seeing him for such a long time! Yuan Xuan smiled oddly, his dark eyes hinted a murderous intent. p me? You will need to pay the price!! He moved closed to her ears and continued saying in a ghostly soft voice, The Mu Family has fallen already. Do you think you can escape from me? Mu Chenyan shivered and red at Yuan Xuan! So what if your father is still alive? Dont forget that I was the one who hired awyer for you during your two years in prison! If the Mu Family treated you like their daughter, would they just let you rot in prison all by yourself? Do you still hate me because of them? I think, even in prison you should have known that your parents met with an ident when they tried to escape with their money! Mu Chenyans body trembled uncontrobly. Yuan Xuan saw how weak she was and he said sarcastically, Pfft, look at you, how pitiful. While you were in deep trouble, they were nning to give up on you and run away. Do you still think that the Mu Family cares about you? You seemed as though the top socialite in Luo Hai City, but Im afraid that you know the truth very well, right? Mu Chenyan was shocked. She had no choice but to admit that each and every word that Yuan Xuan said was true! All these years, she had been in denial of the truth. While she was in the Mu Family, she did not actually live like a true socialite! It was something so private, how could Yuan Xuan expose such a bloody truth just like that? The man saw the anger in her eyes and he pressed his lips against hers without any warning! Mm... A pointless struggle! Feeling the warmth on her lips, Mu Chenyan felt as though she was burning from the heat. She clenched her teeth, refusing him the opportunity to take things a step further. But the man grasped the back of her head with one hand and held her butt with his other hand, directly forcing both of their bodies to get intimately closer together. As her mind got distracted, he forcefully pried open her clenched teeth and pushed his skillful tongue into her mouth! Her breath was taken away and the volcano in the depths of her heart started exploding with hotva! Yuan Xuan kissed her fiercely, as though he was taking revenge on her for pping him. Inch by inch, step by step, until she had given up on struggling. She leaned against him weakly in a bid to regain her rights to breathe. Yuan Xuan looked at her bright red face from being out of breath. Probably because her features were too exquisite, even if she did not take care of herself properly during the two years in prison, she still looked better than those who wore a face of heavy makeup. He caressed the hair resting on her forehead and whispered in her ears, After youre done taking a bath, eat something and wait for me tonight! Yuan Xuans devilish smile caused Chenyans entire body to tremble. She understood what he meant! Ridiculously, even though she was already married to Yuan Xuan, the kiss that they shared just now was actually their first kiss... Nheless, the meaning behind Yuan Xuans words was clear, he wanted more than just a kiss! He wanted all of her! Chapter 8 - Dont Worry, She Will Satisfy You Tonight

Chapter 8: Dont Worry, She Will Satisfy You Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan finished his bath and went to the Old Mistress house. Even though he said he wanted to take a bath, but he clearly came in to take advantage of her! After taking advantage of her, he was still unsatisfied and he even asked her to wait for him tonight? A trace of anxiousness and uneasiness shed through Mu Chenyans cold face. Perhaps, it was finally time for her to meet her overdue wedding night... She got out of the bathtub and changed into the clothes that Ah Fu got for her. Mu Chenyan did not expect Yuan Xuan to prepare clothes for her in the Hibiscus Garden. The white cashmere sweater was loose on her slender body. She picked and put on a dark gold-colored velvet wide-legged pants. She was naturally tall and blessed with long legs. Ah Fu saw the Young Mistress walking out of the bedroomzily, looking like an exceptionally beautiful fairy. The young girl opened her mouth wide with a bedazzled look on her face. Young Mistress, youre so beautiful! If I was the Young Master, I would be head over heels for you too! The inexperienced and innocent young girl blurted out without thinking twice! Chenyan had a listless look on her face. Initially, she wanted to smile at the youngdy, but she could not bring herself to do it. Was she not as simple-minded and pure-hearted once upon a time ago? Even so, the Mu Chenyan who was brought away on her wedding ceremony two years ago had already died in prison... ... Mu Chenyan looked towards the Old Mistresss house from the balcony. The solemn-looking old-fashioned building seemed extraordinarily tall and lofty! That ce was not only the center of the Yuan Family but also the core rights between Luo Hai City and the Southeast Coast. When Yuan Xuan was younger, he used to live in that building with his grandmother! The Old Mistress favored him so much that others were jealous of him. Following the Old Mistress by her side, he attended all kinds of family banquets together with her when he was younger! Growing up, he was surrounded by all kinds of nobles and was greatly influenced by them. As such, he grew up with a strong noble aura. Moreover, he was also considered the most honorable member of the Yuan Family. Everyone knew that the orphan of the Yuan Familys eldest son was actually the most favored child in the Yuan Family Mansion! This little boy actually held more privileges than an adult! ... Mu Chenyan reached for her mobile phone and look at the calendar with her cold eyes! September 28th, it was neither Saturday nor Sunday! She knew the Yuan Family Mansions rule, no matter how busy they were, the whole family had to be home on weekends to have dinner together. They were required to be in the Old Mistresss house and it would take a while. Nevertheless, if the Old Mistress called for him on days other than the weekends, it definitely meant that he would be given a special treatment! Today, he should probably be back soon. Whenever Mu Chenyan thought of the Yuan Familys rules, she could not help but sigh. She might have officially married into the family, but that did not necessarily mean she will live a good life. The Old Mistress Yuan was born a noble and her family was also an influential family. Her father was both an important figure in the military and the politics. She married into the Yuan Family with the noble bloodline on top of her own talents. To begin with, not only was her presence was strong but the Old Master also pampered and spoiled her when he was still alive. Due to the Old Masters influence, their sons and daughters truly respected their mother. When it came to the younger generation, they respected and feared the Old Mistress. They dared not even speak in front of her and not to mention act like a spoiled child. Other than one person, and that was Yuan Xuan! Perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, so the Old Mistress favored him a little more. In addition to the Old Mistress, Yuan Xuan was the one with the highest status in the Yuan Family. There was no doubt about it! Yuan Tangbais legacy was a great addition to the Yuan Familys hundred years of foundation. Moreover, Yuan Xuans talent in doing business also brought the Yuan Family to a whole new level. Thus, who dared to have any objections? Nevertheless, this caused Yuan Xuans character to be overly cold and lonely. Other than the Old Mistress, who else truly liked him in the family? In reality, they were actually more afraid of him! ... Yuan Xuan lifted the curtain and before he could step foot into the house, he heard the Old Mistress asking the servant, Why isnt the Young Master here yet? The foxy woman had just only returned today and he was seduced already... Yuan Xuanughed! Foxy woman? Grandmas description suited her very well! Yuan Xuan recalled the way the woman looked as she leaned against the bathtub in the evening. She looked extremely enchanting and was indeed a foxy woman! Chapter 9 - Yuan Xuan Still Sided With That Girl To A Certain Degree

Chapter 9: Yuan Xuan Still Sided With That Girl To A Certain Degree

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Old Mistress looked out the window once again anxiously and urged, Send someone to look for the Young Master and ask him to dinner with me tonight! It was true that people got more affectionate as they grew older! When Yuan Xuan did not eat at home, the Old Mistress would eat a lot lesser! Due to business needs, he had to attend to different social activities. Therefore, he did not have many opportunities to eat dinner with his grandmother! Since he rarely had free time, hence the Old Mistress urged to see him. Yuan Xuan smiled and answered in a low voice, Grandma, theres no need for that. Little Xuan is here! Yuan Xuans usual cold demeanor was gone and he turned into a petty spoiled child. Outsiders would probably never get to see this side of the Yuan Familys Young Master. Who knew that such a decisive and powerful man in Luo Hai City would actuallyugh! Little Xuan waste as he took a shower. Did Grandma wait anxiously? The honorable man passed his coat to the maid as he spoke. He sat next to the Old Mistress apologetically with his legs crossed. It was a good move. He was not only handsome, even his looks and built was first-ss. How could the Old Mistress not love her grandson who was both cultured and talented! I was just talking about it. Since the girl came back today, all you could think about is her and youll forget about visiting Grandma! The Yuan Old Mistress did not say Chenyans name. That was because she did not want to admit that the woman her grandson married used to be a murder suspect! Of course, she never liked Chenyan even from before, but it was never to the point of despising her! After all, the Mu Family was once rtively powerful, so she did not express it too obviously! But now, in addition to Chenyans dark past, the Mu Family was also ruined. As such, the Old Mistress naturally disliked this granddaughter-inw of hers! Yuan Xuan smiled, and handed an incense to the Old Mistress. This was a tribute-grade incense that he ordered someone to bring back from West Asia. It was once sent to the Forbidden City of Beijing to be used by the concubines in the pce! Yuan Xuans dark eyes were unusually calm and he said in a low voice, How dare I forget about visiting Grandma? Chenyan just returned and her body is still a little weak, so Im afraid that her pale face might frighten Grandma. Let her rest for a few days and after herplexion has gotten better, I will bring her along to pay respect to Grandma! The Yuan Old Mistress liked it when he spoke to her respectfully in a nobleman tone! Who would still pay respect in the 21st century? Nheless, if the Empress Dowager Cixi was still alive, she would be treated like this! Both her children and grandchildren had to treat her like that! The tense look on the Old Mistresss face eased and she smiled and said, That girls features arent likable! Her chin is too sharp and shes way too thin. Moreover, herplexion is frighteningly pale! To think that she was once from a noble family, how did they raise their daughter like that! The Yuan Old Mistresss words sounded a little bitter! The servants at the side heard what she said and they nced at each other meaningfully. They sighed internally but dared not say a word. The Old Mistress was probably the only one in this world who wouldin about the appearance of the Mu Familys daughter! Miss Chenyan once astonished everyone in Luo Hai City with her beauty. Regardless of the beautiful girls from the lower families, celebrities or socialites, there were only very few who was even more beautiful than Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan heard his grandmothers words and said without batting an eyelid, Indeed, Chenyan does not look pleasing to the elders because shes too thin! I will ask her to eat more! After gaining a little more weight, she will be even more perfect! The Yuan Old Mistress looked at her grandson as she knew that his words had a hidden meaning to it! He did not refute her words when she said that Chenyan was not likable, but he also did not admit that his wife was ugly! Even more perfect were the words that turned it around! He meant that this girl was already perfect in his eyes... The Old Mistress sighed after knowing that Yuan Xuan still sided with that girl to a certain degree! Otherwise, when that incident happened, Yuan Xuan would not have made a big fuss when the Yuan Family was nning to call off the wedding! That was also the first time that the Old Mistress saw her grandson disobey her... Chapter 10 - Unclean and Guilty?

Chapter 10: Unclean and Guilty?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Probably because the Old Mistress was afraid that it might happen again, she stopped picking on Chenyan. She ordered the maid, Serve the shrimp soup I made from the Australian shrimps to the Young Master! Yourplexion hasnt been looking good, so I ordered some sea shrimps for you. Since your stomach has been sensitive since young, you can only eat this seafood fresh. Its been made since just now but it took you so long to arrive! The Old Mistress was sulking a little! The corners of Yuan Xuans lips curled up and his sharp eagle-like eyes were shining brightly. He then revealed in a subtle tone, The Young Master of the Shao Family in the Capital City is nning to cooperate with me on the oil field in the Southern Sea. Little Xuan is the only one who has the right to be in charge of it! You should know that the Shao Family cannot be underestimated! How could the Old Mistress not know about the Capital Citys Shao Family? The Shao Familys Old Master was Yuan Tangbais childhood friend. When they were younger, they both chased after Yuan Xuans mother! However, Yuan Tangbais character was better, so Jiao Shuzhen choose the Yuan Family! Nevertheless, this woman had a hard life. After giving birth to Yuan Xuan, her health plummeted and she passed away after Tangbais tragic incident! Now that he mentioned the Shao Family, the Old Mistress recalled that there was also a Young Master in the Shao Jing Mountain who was about the same age as Yuan Xuan! Are you talking about that boy Shao Yibai? The Old Mistress recalled meeting the fair and clean-looking boy when he was younger. Unexpectedly, he was now in charge of the Shao Family? Yuan Xuan raised the corners of his eyes and said calmly, Yes, he is the boy that Old Mistress is talking about! The Yuan Old Mistress smiled, The grandchildren generation is making us seem old. When I think about that child, he was only 10 years old in my memories. He probably grew up to be as handsome as you are now, right? Youre right, Grandma, he is indeed very handsome. He even said that he wanted to visit you in a few days! We might be very busy these few days, thats why he could not do so sooner. He told me to deliver this message so that you wont be angry with him! The Yuan Old Mistress sighed, Little Xuan, why are you working so hard when the Yuan Family is not in need of money? If only you agreed to inherit your fathers official position... Yuan Xuan took the teapot and looked inside the pot, Old Mistress, its not good to drink tea at night as youll get insomnia! It was the same every time, Yuan Xuan would always change the topic whenever she mentioned this. The Old Mistress lowered her eyelids and stopped talking after Yuan Xuan interrupted her topic. After seeing Yuan Xuan finish a bowl of shrimp soup and drank some of the Yuan Familys home-brewed wine, the Old Mistress was satisfied. Being leaving, Yuan Xuan ordered the girl who had been serving the Old Mistress, Bring me a bowl of shrimp soup, I want to bring it back to the Hibiscus Garden! The girl was called Jiuer. She had been a helper in the Yuan Family for 10 years and was the Old Mistresss most thoughtful helper. Upon hearing Young Masters orders, she looked towards the Old Mistress. The Old Mistress knew clearly that he wanted to bring it back for Mu Chenyan! Jiuer, deliver a bowl of soup for the Young Master! Yuan Xuan smiled lightly when he saw the unhappy look on the Old Mistress face, I thank Grandma on behalf of Chenyan! Hmmph! Youve forgotten about Grandma after marrying a wife. You should go. I have nothing more to say, but that girl better be clean and innocent. Otherwise, I wont let her ruin the Yuan Familys hundreds year reputation! Yuan Xuan did not say a word and took over the coat that the maid passed to him! The mans side profile seemed near perfect with his upright stature and thick hair resting on his forehead! Yuan Xuan could not help but sigh when he heard his grandmother doubting Chenyan. That silly girl had been obsessed with him ever since she was 10 and there was no one else in her eyes! When she finally got to marry him, something like that had to happen on her wedding day! Now that he thought about it, she was once pure and simple-minded. She probably did not even have the chance to be unfaithful, so how could she be unclean and guilty? Chapter 11 - The Flower That Was a Witness to Love

Chapter 11: The Flower That Was a Witness to Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Mu Chenyan had finished her dinner downstairs, she went to rest in the little garden on the third floor again. Yuan Xuans had a unique eye for aestethics, theyout of the little garden was personally designed by himself. From the chaise lounge to the tea table, and from the nt species to their shapes, all these were reflected his meticulous mind. Due to the wooden structure of the small building, anti-rotting and moisture proofing were the primary concerns. Having so many nts here and this being apletely open-air balcony would naturally cause mildew to grow. Moreover, ordinary soil was too heavy, and the floor of this small building may not be able to bear the weight. Hence, Yuan Xuan imported a lot of special nutritive soil from Japan. This kind of soil had a very low density, and its polymer-basedposite easily and did not require any watering. Just the polymerization of the little moisture in the air would be sufficient to supply water to most of the nts. This not only satisfied the requirement of anti-rotting but also enabled the nts to get the water they need! When she was 15, Chenyans uncle went for an adventure overseas and brought back a type of nameless flower from the Brazilian rainforest! Chenyan loved that nt and even named it Hope Bamboo Basket. She had once read in an ancient book that in paradise, there was a type of peculiar flower which symbolized love, and its name was Hope Bamboo Basket! Mu Chenyan knew that she would not be able to grow this type of delicate nt with her standard, and if she were to abandon it in the wild, it would be an invasive species! What more, the flowers were bewitchingly beautiful when they bloomed and Chenyan could not bear to dispose of them! She must find someone who could carefully care for this kind of nt! Mu Chenyan felt that the one person who waspetent enough to take on this role was none other but Yuan Xuan! Hence, that nt was ced in the little hanging garden in the Yuan Family Mansion! This type of stout nts perennially lived in the rainforest, and so its demand for water was rtively great. Yuan Xuan purposely visited the library for a few days to study about the nt and its habits and discovered that it could not be watered with ordinary tap water! Hence, after Yuan Xuan nting it, he specially re-designed a brand new irrigation system for the small building. The rooftop porch which extended a meter outward at the balcony was built using high-tech sun visor, creating a dark and airy pseudo-rainforest environment for the Hope Bamboo Basket. A dozen of water pipes hung down from the sun visor, and if it rained, the rainwater would flow along the water pipes and be stored in the narrow channel which measured more than 30cm deep underneath the porch. A self-priming device had been installed in the water channel, enabling the nts above to obtain sufficient rainwater. If that incident did not happen and Mu Chenyan had married into the Yuan Family, the Hope Bamboo Basket would have been the flower that was a witness to their love! ... Now was definitely not the season for the flowers to blossom! Yuan Xuan had cultivated many more Hope Bamboo Baskets so that they were not just the lonesome few nts back then. One could envision that when the flowers blossomed, it would surely be a lively scene! Mu Chenyan observed the changes in the garden of the small building. Two years was not a very long time, but before many things could bepleted, time had fleeted by; neither was it a short time as it was more than enough to change a persons temperament and sentiments... When Yuan Xuan walked in, he immediately saw the woman staring at the nts on the first floor in a daze. She must have suffered a great deal in that ce. She had a little baby fat when she went in, but shes now so thin! The once naive, talkative and cheerful girl was now taciturn and mncholy! A thought shed through Yuan Xuans mind, but it was quickly suppressed! Before the times ripe, the less she knows the better! Mu Chenyan realized suddenly that there was someone behind, Yuan Xuan had been standing there for some time. His gaze, which was fervid and candid, without any disguise of his purpose, caused Chenyan to tremble in fear. She recalled his earlier words before he left for the upper court, to have her wait for him at night... Recalling the bathroom scene between both of them earlier in the afternoon, she instantly blushed! Its getting a little chilly at night. Why dont youe inside? Perhaps it was because he sensed her nervousness, coupled with her bashful look that was simply alluring, Yuan Xuan deliberately lowered his pride and hoarsely asked, but his gaze never once averted... Chapter 12 - Unquenchable Passion Between the Brows

Chapter 12: Unquenchable Passion Between the Brows

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. I dont feel cold! It was much colder inside there . Everyone would only have a nket in the winter... Yuan Xuans face darkened as his bright eyes likewise dimmed. He knew exactly where inside there was referring to! She had been pampered and cosseted since young, so she must have suffered a great deal upon being locked up. Now that she was casually talking about it so openly, Yuan Xuans heart trembled a little! She had been in there for two years, but it was not like the enormous changes that were on-going in the outside world could be halted. He simply could not exin himself to her, even if she did hold a grudge against him! Seeing that Yuan Xuan was silent, Mu Chenyan shifted her gaze and looked at the Hope Bamboo Basket before whispering, I thought that these nts wouldve been uprooted and thrown out. I didnt expect you to still be keeping them ! They are something you fancy so much. How could I bear to discard them? Xuan Yuans words were full of sincerity, which were theplete opposite of his previously indifferent manner. There was even a hint of passion rising up from between his brows! Hearing Young Master Yuan say these words will make me misunderstand and think that you actually cared about me ... Mu Chenyan remarked in a low voice. Her manner was apathetic, as if she had just heard a joke. Back in the day, during the time she was pursuing him, being able to hear such words from his mouth would have been so blissful! Now as times had passed and circumstances changed, Chenyan could not help but feel that Yuan Xuan was setting her up, and that what awaited her would just be cheese in the mousetrap... It was obvious that she was still struggling internally! The face-to-face conversation between the two soon lost its meaning. Thus, Yuan Xuan said nothing more and instead turned around to go downstairs! The moment the tall and sturdy figure disappeared down the stairway, Mu Chenyan covered her mouth. She wanted to cry, but forcefully suppressed the surging grievances and hatred rising up from the depths of her heart. Her shoulders trembled and she did her best to hold back her tears, and it was only after quite some time did she manage to calm down. About ten minutester, he brought the shrimp soup sent by Jiu Er upstairs. The soup looked like it had just been heated up! Chenyan must have possessed certaintent genes in being as she had loved seafood since young. The aroma of the shrimp soup happily greeted her nostrils, making it horribly tempting. Because of this, Mu Chenyan was taken aback. In the prison, she was served nothing but watery, tasteless soup. This inhumane starvation had caused her to be weak toward these kind of delicacies she was oh so very fond of. Yuan Xuan saw her expression, which was simr to that of a hesitant kitten who wanted to eat and an evil smile crept up on his face. Eat up! Itll be time for exerciseter... Mu Chenyan was initially dying to eat, but upon hearing these words, her face became pale from fear as she lost her appetite! Im not eating! Mu Chenyan began sulking and immediately turned her face away from Yuan Xuan! Yuan Xuan slowly put down the bowl. Then, his elegant hands began caressing her short, ck hair , eventually stopping at the ends. His husky voice purred, Why? Still cant ept the fact that youre already Mistress Yuan? Mu Chenyan trembled as her eyes met with his, only for her to she coldly snap, Yuan Xuan, the 12 years I spent pursuing you were rewarded with 2 years of imprisonment! Not to mention, even as my life was hanging by a thread in the prison, you ignored the decades of friendship between the Mu and Yuan Family and swallowed up the Mu Family, causing my dad to die in a tragic ident during his escape, and my brother to disappear without a word! Now youre telling me that you want to have me. How can you even spout such nonsense? Ill tell you now, Ive been a fool for more than ten years, but I shant be one any longer! So? Yuan Xuans dark eyes were filled with murderous intent as he waited for the woman to vent all her dissatisfaction before inly asking. Divorce! I want a divorce!! Mu Chenyans tone was firm and unquestionable. It had been 14 years since their rtionship had first began. As she uttered these words, she could clearly hear a loud breaking sound echo out from the deepest parts of her heart... The intensity of how she yearned to marry him back then was now channelled into the anger she felt at this moment. As she faced the Brother Xuan whom she had always dreamt of marrying, the intention she expressed at this moment was to have a divorce? Yuan Xuan sneered as cruel mockery crept up from the corner of his mouth. His warm and moist lips were sexy and full. Having already experienced her sweetness, all he wanted now was to swallow her uppletely. Yet, this woman had brought up the topic of divorce! Dream on! Chapter 13 - Want a Divorce? Youre Not Done Paying Off the Debt You Owe Me

Chapter 13: Want a Divorce? Youre Not Done Paying Off the Debt You Owe Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion You want a divorce? Yes! Mu Chenyan had pondered this matter for a long time in the prison, so her reply was without any hesitation! You may want a divorce, but thats all the more reason why I wont let you have it! Yuan Xuan sniggered as he suddenly reached out his hands to pull her into his arms, his deep voice growling right into her ear. You want a divorce? Youre not done paying off the debt you owe me! Mu Chenyan shuddered when she heard this. The debt I owe him? Was he referring to Shu Qingers and her unborn childs death? She chuckled bitterly as her little face shed a bitter grin. Until now, you still think that Im the one who killed Sister Qinger... Yuan Xuan was silent, his gaze interchanging between a state of indifference and passion unpredictably! Mu Chenyan assumed that this was him tacitly agreeing. Is that why youve done so many horrible things to the Mu Family. Was it just to retaliate against me? I cant believe you didnt believe me! You sent Wu Ze to defend me, thus, not granting me a quick death. Was that also a form of torture? Did you get me out of there just because youve thought of a new trick to use on me to take revenge? As Mu Chenyan spoke, her tears began flowing down her face. The more silent Yuan Xuan was, the more confident Mu Chenyan became that she had correctly guessed his ns. To think that she had wasted a dozen years of pursuit and fixation on such a person... When he thought of this, a sense of pain and indignation ate at her tender heart! Yuan Xuan watched her painful expression and lifted her tiny face before affectionately kissing the corner of her eyes, swallowing every drop of her bitter tears. Dont cry, it makes my heart ache! His soft and maic voice grew deeper as he whispered. Mu Chenyan could not hold back her emotions any longer! He could be indifferent to her or he could mock her, but all her defenses would crumble away the moment he was gentle to her... His tenderness, which she had long hoped for in the past, had now turned into a form of humiliation for her! Why was he being gentle to her right now? Was it to cause her to fall in love with him again, only to cruelly thrust a knife into her heart again? God! How cruel! Fine, if you want me to pay off my debt, and you want to have me,e on. Come and take it... Her debt had to be paid off regardless of the circumstances. While speaking, Chenyan pulled open her nightgown! Her snow-like skin was exposed to the air, and the two soft, poking parts turned red from the stimtion of the cold air... Her delicate tiny face was also filled with sorrowful tears as a feminine fragrance that seemed to have a floral touch quickly overwhelmed Yuan Xuans senses! A hint of hesitation shed across Yuan Xuans face. After this, he looked coldly into Mu Chenyans fuming eyes before tidying up her clothes. Since the two of them were arguing so much, it was clearly not a suitable time to relive their wedding night! Suddenly, Mu Chenyan derisively snickered. Ive been blind for more than ten years to love a person like you and keep my virginity. If Id known earlier, Id have simply given it to any other man and not save it for you... These words were malicious, and Yuan Xuans heart felt as though it was being stabbed by a sharp sword! She could rage and be unreasonable, disruptive even, but she could never stop loving him... Much less, give her body to another man! A vicious intent emerged in Yuan Xuans heart. He could not allow the situation she mentioned to happen. This highly possessive man was willing to stuff her into prison for two years just to keep her to himself, so how could it be that after everything was over, he would allow her to harbor the thought of not loving him anymore? Give yourself to another man? His big hand grabbed her chin hard as he venomously repeated her words. Mu Chenyan had never seen Yuan Xuan using this kind of ferocious tone on her. She was a little frightened, and her body began shuddering involuntarily! His expression had always been indifferent toward her, it was never like it was right now. The mask he was wearing at the moment was evil and full of murderous intent! She was not aware that her words had trampled on a mans pride, and that she had sessfully given birth to an envious demon deep within his heart... Suddenly, Yuan Xuan picked her up and slung her over his shoulder! The strength in his big hands was powerful, so much so that Mu Chenyan felt that her slim little waist was about to snap at any moment! She yelped all the way until she was thrown onto arge, soft bed. Only then was the poor little woman able to take a breather! She lifted her gaze and saw that the man was now undressing, his seductive, exposed abs subtly beckoning for her to touch them... Mu Chenyan stared at them intently,pletely forgetting what a dangerous situation she was in... Chapter 14 - Who Wants to Moan?

Chapter 14: Who Wants to Moan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Before this, Yuan Xuan was angered by her words, but upon seeing her expression, which was of someone who was clearly infatuated, he became forgiving! Nheless, her snow-like skin which had previously been kept underneath the bathrobe was too tempting. What was he supposed to do now? The man thought back to two years ago. They were supposed to enjoy their wedding night that day, but that day took an eternity to arrive. He was afraid that if they were to dy any further, this irrational woman would genuinely go off and find a random man to just give herself to! He did not want to be cuckolded!! Youre already 24 years old, and yet, youre still inexperienced. Even I am worried for you! He reached out to grab her sharp chin and lifted her head to force her to look straight at him. Then, his slender fingers caressed her pink lips C the rough touch of his fingertips strange, yet, familiar! Yuan Xuans evil yet charming face had a strange smile on it. A hint of sarcasm coupled with an unreadable ambiguity that caused Mu Chenyan to tremble involuntarily on the bed. Thats none of your concern... She was reluctant to admit it, but she had no control over the situation. She already didnt dare to look him in the eye as he was slowly breaking down her walls. Im your husband. Whose concern is it if not mine? How can I let the healthy veggies get trampled by the pigs* (TN: A Chinese saying for a beauty being given over to an odious man)? His voice was strained and carried an obvious intent. Likewise, as Yuan Xuan spoke, his dark figure pressed down on her in a manner that could not be refused! Mu Chenyan turned her head as her face gradually flushed red. Every inch of her skin began to warm up, like a dry prairie that had just been ignited with a spark... This defeated expression seemed to put Yuan Xuan in a much better mood. The corner of his mouth subconsciously curled upward as he spoke in a deep voice , I havent even touched you, but youre already this sensitive? Yuan Xuans Adams apple was quivering, and his tanned skin glinted beautifully under the lights. Mu Chenyan did not dare open her mouth, let alone look him in the eye. His eyes were full of affection, like a bottomlesske with surging undercurrents that were reflective of the agitation that was suppressed within him. She was afraid that all the courage that she had mustered over the previous two years was about to crumble in an instant! She was afraid that the hatred she had grown in her heart would be blown out in a heartbeat. It was tough. After all, she had loved him for more than ten years. How could one simply overwrite this love that was once so deeply engraved in their heart? However, right now, she was afraid to love again. Moreover, she was well aware that she should not, in fact, love again! Yuan Xuan, keep... your distance from me... Mu Chenyans voice quivered a little. She intended to express her rejection, but her voice was weak and vaguely arousing, making it seem inviting instead. What if I dont? Yuan Xuan grabbed her hands and lifted them above her head before holding them down on therge ck bed. Then, he pressed his body on top of her. They were now so close that their breaths started to intece with one another. As Mu Chenyan smelt the faint scent of high-grade tobo mixed with the smell of a minty aftershave. Her eyes zed over and she became weaker. Yuan Xuan quickly noticed the sensually dazed state that she was in and smiled victoriously. Then, his lips closed in on her ears as he blew hot air and asked, Dont you like me acting like this? This extremely seductive move caused the little darling underneath to panic even more! The involuntarily rubbing of their bodies was born out of her attempt to flee, but it was like adding oil to the fire! His body shuddered as a result of this. Yuan Xuan licked his dry lips once he saw the tender red lips of the darling under him part slightly. Then, he unceremoniously kissed her! Initially, he just wanted to have a taste of her, but he quickly realized that this woman was a poison, and things soon got out of hand, to the point where he could not stop even if he wanted to. The exceptionally restrained man was now bing frenzied, pressing harder by the minute, iming territories, and kissing with increasing passion. Only when the woman teared up due to ack of oxygen did he finally release her lips. Mu Chenyan seized the opportunity to breathe in a few gaping mouthfuls of air before unrelentingly continuing his attack! ... Mu Chenyan, on the other hand, did not know when she stopped resisting. She had forgotten to refuse, forgotten to struggle, forgotten the hatred in her heart, and slowly but surely becamepliant, epting even. She was annoyed at her uselessness, but she was unable to control the honest reaction from her body... Yuan Xuan... Suddenly, a severe pain caused her to snap back to attention. The woman began to snivel as strands of hair which were wet with sweat stuck to her forehead. Her small hands clutched onto his shoulders, her ten fingers cutting marks into his shoulderdes! Chenyan, youre mine now! Youre mine for life! Mu Chenyans eyes opened wide, but tears immediately came gushing out. She had pursued him for more than ten years, and just as she had decided to give up, he had mentioned the words for life. Seeing that she was still crying, Yuan Xuan lowered his head and began to peck along the trail of tears on her cheeks, causing her to bawl even harder. After a long time, the woman finally calmed down. The pain was not so distinct anymore. Only then did she realize that the two of them had only just begin their night! Yuan Xuan smiled and asked in a low voice, Can I begin now? If you want to moan, try keep it down. The instion in this small wooden building isnt that good. Ah Fus still young , so lets not scare her! Moan? Who wants to moan? Moan your *ss... Chapter 15 - Yuan Xuans Attentive Care

Chapter 15: Yuan Xuans Attentive Care

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Little Chenyan, Ill let you off for now... The man suddenly ended it, albeit whilst still feeling a little unsatisfied, and left for a bath. The woman, on the other hand, was exhausted. She turned around and immediately fell asleep. After the man had taken a good bath ande out, he noticed the hickeys all over her body. Only then did he realize that he had indeed gone out of control. Perhaps it was because he had been restraining himself for so long, that when the years of suppression was unleashed, even someone as self-discipline as himself was not able to restrain the frenzy. He recalled how she was previously crying and begging for mercy, and his heart ached a little. He gently pecked her on the forehead, causing the unconscious woman to furrow her brows. He then hugged her slim waist from behind and inhaled the smell of her sweaty skin. This scent! It was unique and refreshing! It seems like the sweat of a woman is truly fragrant! Yuan Xuan could not stop himself from chuckling at the thought. ... The next morning, just as the sun was peeking in from the balcony located in the corner of the small building, Mu Chenyan started to open her eyes. She nced across the room only to discover that her assant was no where to be seen! Mu Chenyan got up, her entire body feeling so sore that it felt like it was falling apart. She finally understood what the novels meant when they talked about not being able to close ones legs... It did not feel good at all! If she had a choice, she would have much rather put up a fierce fight then be trampled the way she was. Last night was her first time, but now, that one night of battling had caused her to be scared to death of this supposedly sacred act between a man and woman! It was not that Yuan Xuan was not skilled, but that he too savage, thus making her really frightened! I might not survive very long if I dont leave this brutal ce. ... Ah Fu knocked on the door and asked in a low voice, Is Young Mistress awake? Breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it now? Mu Chenyan mumbled a response before picking out a high-cored sweater from the closet to cover the hickeys literring her neck! After checking herself in front of the mirror numerous times, she realized that the light-colored sweater seemed to make her appear paler, so to fix that, she applied a little lipstick. As she carried a backpack downstairs, her slender legs quivered a little. Upon seeing Ah Fu, Mu Chenyan instantly recalled Yuan Xuans words fromst night the sound instion of this small building was not that good... Last night I really did moan absurdly loud. What a disgrace! Young Mistress, may I serve you now? Ah Fu was smiling happily. She was a child after all. Even though Mu Chenyans attitude was terribly indifferent, the girl continued to be as enthusiastic as always. Im not eating at home! Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly tried to cut short their contact. Is the Young Mistress heading out? Ah Fu curiously examined the way Chenyan was dressed. She saw her wearing a random sweater whilst carrying a backpack, and she raised her eyebrow. Furthermore, her pure and naive appearance hid her underlying 20-something age well. Ah Fu sighed inwardly. Mistress really looks good in anything! Mu Chenyan nodded and suddenly remembered the instructions Butler Fu had left with the housemaid when she walked in yesterday. She was uncertain about whether she could head out sessfully. Im going out to meet a friend. When the Young Master returns, please inform him that Ill be back for dinner! Mu Chenyan began to leave, although she was not sure whether or not Yuan Xuan had given Ah Fu instructions to limit her freedom. However, since there had been a substantial change in their rtionship as ofst night, he would not be making any moves today, would he? Oh! Young Master said to pass this to you. If anythinges up, you can call him. His number is in it! Ah Fu suddenly piped up before carefully handing over a new mobile phone. Yuan Xuan was really thoughtful in remembering that she still didnt own a mobile phone! She took the phone and saw that there was indeed only one contact in it, his. When did this man start bing so attentive toward her? In the past, it was so difficult for her to see his smiling face, but now, he was being so caring . Perhaps this was because that he was afraid of her running away... could it be that he still had more punishments for her? Mu Chenyan gave a coldugh as she thought of this. Then, she looked at the contact number she had always known by heart saved in the phone, and a hint of steely determination shed through her eyes. Chapter 16 - When the Living Turn Ruthless, They Are More Terrifying Than the Dead!

Chapter 16: When the Living Turn Ruthless, They Are More Terrifying Than the Dead!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan walked out of the door only to discover that no one was stopping her. She realized that she must have been over-thinking things and that Yuan Xuan was not going to confine her to the house after all. This area they stayed in was a wealthy suburb, and all the vehicles going in and out were driven by drivers. Taxi drivers would be wasting their time if they came here. Hence, Mu Chenyan had to walk quite a distance before she managed to hail a ride. Once she got into the taxi, a person in a ck car not far away immediately floored the elerator so that he could begin trailing the taxi. ... The enormous trees on both sides of the road loomed over the road, obscuring the sunlight as the car drove through the dark mountain road. Thete autumn mountain breeze was chilly, which made Mu Chenyan wrap the woolen coat tightly around herself. Her eyes were fixed on the pair of canvas shoes in front of her as she gradually dozed off. The driver noticed her young age through the rear-view mirror. Her quiet demeanor and the indescribable mncholy in her eyes made her appear stunningly beautiful. Because of this, he could not resist having a chat with her! Is Miss from around here? Yeah. You dont look very old. Do you live nearby? Mhmm. Mu Chenyans personality had changed drastically ever since she was released from prison. The old her was a chatty and joyous person. Whether it was in thedies socialite circle, or with the ordinary citizen, she was always warm and approachable! However, the current her had be rather introverted. It was hard for her acquaintances to talk with her, much less random strangers. Her highest record ever was not having spoken a word for more than three months in prison... The frosty replies coupled with her insipid character and a certain wariness in her eyes made the driver realize that he could not continue the conversation . Thus, he spoke no more. It was almost noon when she stopped to buy some stuff from a shop that sold sacrificial offerings on the way. Her eyes were closed, up until the taxi driver informed her that they had arrived at the North Hill Cemetery. Mu Feng, her father, was buried here. Mu Chenyan paid the fare and was about to leave with her backpack in hand when the driver kindlymented, Young beauty, theres hardly anyone in this area. Youre all alone in the cemetery, so make sure to keep an eye out! Mu Chenyan nced around, and sure enough, the ce was empty. This cemetery was rather remote in the first ce, and since it was not a weekend, there were even fewer peopleing here to offer their offerings today. She nced at the quiet nk walkway which was covered with the mottled shadows of the trees and shivered. This ce was indeed eerie! Mu Chenyan nodded. Thank you, sir. When the living turned ruthless, they were even more terrifying than the dead! She had already experienced the vicious attack from the living, and after getting injured, she had simply licked her wounds and trudged on. So why would she be afraid of the dead lying deep in the ground? How bout I wait for you here? Its not easy for you to hail a ride when you head backter. Ill be outside. At least you wont be scared if you know that theres a living being nearby! The driver was worried about the girl, so he quickly suggested waiting for her. Mu Chenyan sighed as a mist formed in her dark eyes. She replied softly, Its fine. I want to apany my dad for some time. You can head back first. The driver saw that her heart seemed to be in a state of intense sorrow and realized that there was nothing more he could do for her, so he turned the car around and left. Meanwhile, when the man in the ck car behind saw Mu Chenyan walking into the low thickets next to the cemetery, he picked up the phone and dialed a number. Third Young Master, Young Mistress has entered the North Hill Cemetery! ... She had been in prison for less than a year when the Mu Family fell into an economic crisis. There was a scandal about Mu Feng abusing his position during his military days to traffic firearms... Thus, the Mu n was put in a tight spot. However, Mu Feng had thought that the Yuan Family would help them out for old times sake. Not to mention, now they were rtives via marriage! However, no one expected Yuan Xuan to wantonly seize the Mu Familys shares and submit a report to the authorities stating that the Mu n had once bribed a financial officer during a bidding campaign. This corruption report was the straw that broke the camels back. Mu Feng was hemmed in from all sides, so he sold all of his possessions and tried to escape during the dead of the night, only to be unexpectedly involved in a car ident whilst on the freeway leading out of town... Her mother, Yan Mei, on the other hand, was put in aa and had to be ced in the hospitals intensive care unit whereby she had to rely on a venttor just to stay alive! Her father was was buried here! Furthermore, they had not heard anything about her older brother, Mu Chenwu. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. ... Chapter 17 - Dad, Ive Come to See You...

Chapter 17: Dad, Ive Come to See You...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan looked at the photo of the man on the gravestone as her eyes filled with tears. She sat down and retrieved from the offerings from inside her backpack before softly saying, Dad, Ivee to see you... Mu Chenyan thought back to her childhood. Her mother had been very good to her; in fact, it was due to her gentleness and kindness that Mu Chenyan had grown into such a cheerful person. Mu Feng, on the other hand, was very strict, even to the extent of being harsh on her! When her older brother failed his exam, her father would encourage him. Its alright. Youll do better the next time... However, when she scored 95 for her Maths paper, her father criticized her. Its obvious that you couldve scored one hundred, but you were careless... On another asion, during Mu Chenwus birthday party, many friends came over to celebrate the asion with him. There was a fiveyered birthday cake and a plethora of birthday presents from all the various influential families in the area. The total amount of gifts would have filled up Mu Chenwus room! However, her father always seemed to forget that there was also a young miss in the Mu Family, and that she also had a birthday... Later, once she had grown up, she slowly began to understand that the reason her father did not like her was not because she was not outstanding enough, rather, there existed an indescribable gap between her and Father, causing the supposedly intimate rtionship to be somewhat cold! During high school, after Yuan Xuan went abroad to further his studies, Mu Chenyan pleaded with her father. She too wanted to go overseas for grad school, but mainly so that she could pursue the man whom she loved. This was the one and only time that Mu Feng readily granted her request. Looking back on it, Mu Feng had probably realized how helpful it would be if his daughter was able to find shelter under the huge tree that was Xuan Yuan. This would benefit him greatly too! Even so, Mu Chenyan wept uncontrobly once heard about the ident and that her family had been torn apart while she was in prison. She was a firm believer of the saying that as long as ones parents were still alive, there was always a ce to call home; when ones parents were no longer around, all that was left in life was the slow march toward death! Without the Mu Family, she was all alone! Moreover, she now had to face Yuan Xuan, the man whom she had once crazily pursued and loved deeply, but whom was also was the cause of her familys tragedy. Mu Chenyans heart tightened at the thought of this. ... All her experiences growing up in the Mu Family shed through her mind like a movie. The happy and painful moments had be nothing but distant memories following the death of her father and her mothersa. It was not long before Mu Chenyan lost track of time in front of the gravestone. When the sky turned dark, the graveyard fell into an ethereal of silence. It was dead silent apart from the asional sound of birds pping their wings. Only once she felt the cold wind biting at her did she realize that she had been sitting in the cemetery for much too long. When she got up, her legs were already numb. Furthermore, since she had not eaten anything in the afternoon, her stomach had been growling in protest all this time. Mu Chenyan dusted off her legs,posed herself, and walked out of the cemetery. She scanned the open space around and sure enough, not a soul was in sight, save for two old guards having a quiet conversation. She recalled the words of the driver and was slightly regretful. True enough, its impossible for me to hail a ride here. Mu Chenyan mumbled and wrapped herself tightly in her dark green woolen coat. Her pale little face shrunk into the cor of the coat, leaving only a pair of big ck eyes exposed. After this, she swung her backpack around her shoulder and strolled along the nk walkway by theke. Looks like I wont be making it back in time for dinner... I wonder, will that man give me a call upon realizing that I am not home? Thinking of the phone Yuan Xuan gave to her, Mu Chenyan took it out and immediately hesitated, still unable to make a decision about whether or not to call him. She struggled for some time, not noticing the ck Rolls-Royce on the other side of the road. Inside the Rolls-Royce was a man was watching the absent-minded her with a gloomy expression. Third Young Master, should we ask the young mistress to get into the car? Yan Jun felt that his CEO was behaving a little strangely. He had been here the whole afternoon but was reluctant to show his face, even going so far as to order that the car be hidden in the bushes. This was a Rolls-Royce, but it had be a surveince vehicle that afternoon. As for the two of them.. one was absent-mindedly strolling by the roadside, while the other was keeping absolutely quiet in the car. The cemetery is right there... Cmon, this aint a good ce to be courting... Chapter 18 - The Name of Yuan Tangbai Is a Taboo in the Yuan Family

Chapter 18: The Name of Yuan Tangbai Is a Taboo in the Yuan Family

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan waved his hand and Yan Jun quickly stopped the car by the roadside. Mu Chenyan was taken aback by the sudden emergence of the car that now blocked her way. Her cold little face was now red from the cold. She frowned slightly and poked her head out of the cor of her jacket. The car window slowly rolled down, allowing her to see inside. However, once she saw the handsome face of the man in the car, the womans expression switched from dissatisfaction to confusion. Why... Why are you here? She watched Yuan Xuan get down from the car, and inadvertently took a step back, as if to keep a safe distance from him. She seemed to have forgotten all aboutst night whereby the distance between the two of them was basically non-existent... Yuan Xuans face was grim, and he did not speak. His dark eyes shed like that of an eagles as they swept across Mu Chenyans pale face in silence. Upon seeing that she was still keeping her guard up, the corner of his mouth curled upward in a mocking smile. Im here to visit father-inw! Hearing him speak in a tone so full of ridicule caused Mu Chenyan to quiver in anger. Isnt this man the reason Mu Feng is lying here? Yet he still has the guts toe here to crack such a disgusting joke? You feel a twisted sense of achievement, dont you? Seeing me in such misery, seeing Yuan Tangbais formerrade lying deep underground, seeing that youve single-handedly crushed the second most prestigious household in Luo Hai City, the Mu Family. Mu Chenyan let out all the hate that had been writhing in her heart. Xuan Yuan grit his teeth as his cold gaze swept across every inch of Mu Chenyan. Uttering Yuan Tangbais name was a taboo in the Yuan Family! Yuan Xuan was already a well-known child prodigy before he even reached the age of five, known for having an exceedingly high IQ and EQ. Because Yuan Tangbai ced extreme importance on the nurturing of his son, he would spend a lot of timemunicating with his young child whenever he had the time, even going so far as to bring him to the military camp to attend important meetings. It could be said that in the little Yuan Xuans heart, his tall and handsome father was the perfect example of what a strong grown-up should be like. Simrly, it was this deep-seated adoration and respect that changed Yuan Xuan so radically after he got the news about his fathers death. That cheerful optimistic little boy became the most lonely kind of person overnight an orphan. It was because of this that nobody dared to call out his fathers name in front of Yuan Xuan out of fear of reopening old wounds. Today, however, Mu Chenyan had used his fathers reputation to subtly taunt Yuan Xuan. She had implicitly called him ungrateful by striking his fathers formerrade when thetter was down. This was a p to Yuan Xuans face! Get in the car! The two pairs of eyes locked, and the man immediatelymanded her in a deep voice. It was obvious that he was doing his best to control his anger. With this, Mu Chenyan knew that she had infuriated Yuan Xuan, and she quietly smiled at the fact she was getting a bit of payback! She icily stared at Yuan Xuans livid face, then gave a cold sneer as she brushed her hair away from her face. I thought you wouldve hit me! After all, Ive hit a sore spot, right? Yuan Xuans sour expression turned piercingly cold as the bulging veins on his forehead began throbbing! It was only because he could not bear to hurt the woman before him that he held back... he would have swung his fist if it had been anyone else. Dont provoke me anymore! The tone of Yuan Xuans warning frightened Mu Chenyan a little. She stopped talking, but she also did not obediently get into the car. The two of them had a silent stare-off for some time, each backed by a sense of resentment toward the other. Yuan Xuan did not want to hurt her, but as he watched this stubborn woman stare rebelliously at him, he eventually exploded and pulled her into the car! Drive! Yuan Xuans deep voice made Yan Jun jump with fear. He had stayed by Yuan Xuans side since young, and he knew very well that when this prince was unhappy and in a snotty mood, Luo Hai would have to tremble and obediently obey. What more when this man was at his breaking point? Chapter 19 - Hurting You Was Never My Intention

Chapter 19: Hurting You Was Never My Intention

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The car swiftly sped along the main road. Yan Jun sneaked a peek at the pair of enemies through the rear-view mirror and saw that although the two were both seated in the backseat, there was a clear gap in between the two. He sighed to himself. The Miss Mu from back in the day would seize every possible opportunity to get close to Third Young Master. Everywhere he went, she would be like a tiny tail attached to Third Young Master, her soft voice affectionately calling for him... Now, the two were finally a couple, yet they were acting distant and estranged. What a twist of fate! ... Mu Chenyan was feeling aggrieved and annoyed. The hands which Yuan Xuan had grabbed were now bruised. That damned man! Hes so rough! Mu Chenyan endured the pain and shook her arms. However, after noticing that Yuan Xuan was looking at her out of the corner of his eye, she turned away and ignored him. Although Yuan Xuan was angry, he did not want to hurt her. His face became grim as looked at the pair of pale and tender hands on the seat, then at the bruises that now covered her wrists. After this, he quietly scooted over to her. A feeling of sadness arose from the bottom of the heart, a feeling known as heartache... Mu Chenyan, on the other hand, realized that he was moving closer, so she quickly leaned in further against the side of the door! When Yuan Xuan saw her disy her anger by distancing herself from him, he let out a sigh. He stretched out his big hand and forcefully pulled her over to his side! What are you doing? Let me go! Mu Chenyan frowned as she used her hands and feet to try to push away Yuan Xuan. The two, who had only just been intimatest night, knew very well how dangerous it was to be this close to each other. Dont move, Little Chenyan, I just want to hold you in my arms. Not that I really mind you moving about in my arms either! Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse and deep. This king of maic voices caused Mu Chenyan to instantly recall the night before whereby every time he pushed in, he would mutter softly into her ears, Little Chenyan, do you like it when I act like this? Her small face instantly flushed red. Chenyan was ashamed and annoyed! The two were still quarreling, but at this moment, she was also recalling that embarrassing and heart-throbbing scene. Oh, how useless she had been! She had spent two years training herself to get rid of her cutesy manner and still her temperament, yet she had been so quickly ovee by a few of Yuan Xuans unwitting moves and gaze. How could she not be aggrieved and annoyed at herself? Does it still hurt? Kneading her small hands, Yuan Xuans tone became extremely gentle. He had never experienced this kind of pain in his heart before. Even Yan Jun, who was driving, felt the atmosphere make a 180-turn. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Who knew Third Young Master could be this tender? Wakaka... Mu Chenyan pursed her lips and did not reply. Compared to the old her, her current self was devoid of emotion. Yuan Xuan sighed. He held her chin in his hands and met her eyes. His thin lips curled softly upward, revealing an attractive arc. Mu Chenyan could not resist such charm. She hurriedly shook her head and replied in a quiet voice, Not anymore. Yuan Xuan was still worried. He massaged her small hands and calmly said, Little Chenyan, dont be so hard-headed the next time. I cant control my temper well, and Im afraid of hurting you... Chenyans eyes reddened and she turned her head away. Then, she responded in her a hoarse voice, Are the emotional harms youve caused me any less? Yuan Xuan didnt give an answer. His eyes dimmed as he replied, In the future, Ill provide you a reasonable exnation, but for now, the less you know the better. You just have to remember that hurting you was never my intention! This was the first time Mu Chenyan had heard Yuan Xuan speaking to her in this kind of tone. She could not help but question whether or not Yuan Xuan was hiding something from her. Yuan Xuans face darkened and he said no more. Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Xuans was the type of person who was strong-willed enough that, if he did not want to talk about something, no one would be able to pry open his mouth. Chapter 20 - Sister-in-law, Why Didnt You Call Me When the Tea Was Brewed

Chapter 20: Sister-inw, Why Didnt You Call Me When the Tea Was Brewed

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The sky was already dark by the time they returned to the Yuan Family Mansion. When Yuan Xuan arrived home, his face seemed distant and emotionless. He said nothing as he changed his clothes before immediately leaving again. Mu Chenyan did not know where Yuan Xuan ran off to. After taking a bath and changing her clothes, she went into the small tea room and made herself some Puer tea. Ah Fu was afraid that Yuan Xuan would reprimand him if the Young Mistress only drank tea without having dinner, so he quickly ced her dinner on a small dining table and brought it into the tea room. Young Mistress, before Young Master headed out, he left instructions for you to finish all this... Only after looking at the small dining table Ah Fu carried in did Mu Chenyan remember that she had not eaten anything the whole day. She had been so pissed off by Yuan Xuan that she had even forgotten that she was hungry! Even good tea cant be drunk on an empty stomach. Yet, there is so much food. Am I supposed to finish all of this? It seemed like Yuan Xuan was bent on looking after her as though he were rearing a pig... Chenyan picked up the chopsticks to taste some of the food and immediately found it to be rather appetizing. Having tasted the savoriness of the food, the greedy worms in her stomach were revived. They growled and mored, prompting her to actually follow Yuan Xuans instruction and wipe up all the food on the small dining table... After she ate and drank to her fill, Mu Chenyan belched and felt somewhat better. After a while, she looked up at the sky outside. It seemed that Yuan Xuan would not be returning any time soon, so Mu Chenyan picked out a book from the bookshelf and began to read attentively. Sister-inw? Why didnt you call me after the tea was brewed? A gentle voice suddenly called out, its sweet-sounding tone traveling through the wooden door of the tea room. Mu Chenyan was startled, and she quickly spotted a pretty little faceing through the door. She was so surprised that she blurted out, Tian Tian! Yuan Tian frowned and pouted yfully. Although sister-inws back, big bro wouldnt let mee to disturb you, iming that your bodys weak and that you need a good rest. Yet, here I see sister-inw drinking tea. You seem to be doing just fine! Yuan Tian approached Chenyan as she spoke. Her previously girly appearance, after a three-year-growth period, now gave off an exceptional glow. Yuan Tian was the daughter of the Yuan Familys third son, Yuan Tangshuo, and the youngest among the Yuan Familys third generation. Everyone usually called her Fifth Miss. Because she was roughly the same age as Mu Chenyan, back when Mu Chenyan mingled with the Yuan Family to pursue Yuan Xuan, Yuan Tian had seized the opportunity to acquire a bestie. Tian Tian, dont simply call me sister-inw! Whereve you been these past few years? I thought that... Id never see you again... Mu Chenyan began to sob. She got very emotional upon seeing Yuan Tian. After holding Mu Chenyans hand, waves of warmth began to fill Yuan Tians heart. Am I not back now? Yuan Tian was gentle as she tugged at Mu Chenyans sleeves. Her delicate expression was extremely adorable! To Mu Chenyan, even if she and Yuan Xuan got divorced, the one in the Yuan Family whom she would always fondly recall would be Yuan Tian. They were of the same kind C both of them were daughters who were not doted on by their families. Hence, the two girls had been exceedingly appreciative of each other since young. Mu Chenyan was slightly older, and as such, the carefree Yuan Tian was secretly rather attached to the well-mannered and courteous Mu Chenyan! During the years when Mu Chenyan studied abroad, this little girl would constantly go overseas to visit her. It was during the years that she was preparing to marry Yuan Xuan that Yuan Tian suddenly disappeared from the Yuan Family. The Yuan Family kept mum regarding the whereabouts of Yuan Tian, and although Mu Chenyan asked around, she could never get any concrete information. She was extremely apprehensive, but Yuan Xuan remained tight-lipped about the matter. After Mu Chenyan was caught in that tragic mess, the two did not see each other again, so this reunion was three years in the making. Because of this, Mu Chenyan could not suppress her excitement, regardless of how upset she had been beforehand. Tian Tian, whereve you been these past few years? After calming down, Mu Chenyan poured a cup of tea for Yuan Tian, and the two slender girls sat back on the tatami mat. Yuan Tian sipped the cup of Puer tea and sighed. Chenyan, honestly, I cant remember anything surrounding the past three years! Mu Chenyans eyes widened when she heard this. I only remember the things from the past. Whenever I try to recall the events that happened during the past three years, my head would ache badly and I would have to stop. Not to mention, my family wouldnt tell me anything, so I simply give up asking! Yuan Tian found it strange that she lost three years worth of her memory, but her family simply told her that she was ill and that the condition was a result of her sickness. I heard from my brother... that he put you in prison for two years... Suddenly, Yuan Tian carefully whispered while observing Mu Chenyans expression. Chapter 21 - My Brothers Heart Has Been Shrouded

Chapter 21: My Brothers Heart Has Been Shrouded

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan knew that although Yuan Tian had only recently returned, she was probably already fully aware of the events that had transpired over the past two years. Its all over now! Im sitting here and talking to you now, right? Her indifferent expression did not appear to hide anything, whilst her calm tone seemed to harbor no feelings of resentment. Moreover, her previously elfish and abnormallyrge eyes werepletely still, making it seem as though Yuan Tians heart had truly grieved. Chenyan, I know that you wouldnt have killed someone, much less done such a cruel thing! Yuan Tian tugged at Chenyans sleeve somewhat emotionally. You believe me but unfortunately, your brother doesnt... As Mu Chenyan spoke, she used the wooden teaspoon to stir the tea leaves inside the teapot before using the strainer to filter the newly boiled beverage for Yuan Tian. If he believed me, then he wouldnt have been so cruel to the Mu Family... When Mu Chenyan recalled Mu Fengs cold photo on the gravestone and the destruction of her family, she quickly realized that her rtionship with Yuan Xuan could not return to the way it had been before. Yuan Xuan had taken revenge on the Mu Family without batting an eyelid. The family of four were all left either injured or dead while her older brother had gone missing without a trace, leaving her as the sole surviving member of the Mu Family. Although her current status was that of the Yuan Familys Young Mistress, she was still wary. Did Yuan Xuan secretly intend to rip her body into a thousand pieces, shatter her bones and scatter her ashes? Did he bind her to his side with the intention to use this mask of tenderness to hide the blunt de that he would eventually bludgeon her to death with? My brothers heart has definitely been shrouded. How is that Shu Qinger any better than you? That person has already died, but my brother is still acting strangely. How could he be so stupid as to actually believe that youre a murderer? You dont have to be sad anymore now, because the judge has already ruled you innocent. Anything that anyone says is irrelevant. If you only concern yourself with being the dignified Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, then what else can my brother do to you? Yuan Tian was clearly furious. The previous Mu Chenyan who was so alluring, dazzling, and could even im a family background, talents, and beauty that others could only dream for. However, for all that, she had been reduced to a lowly prisoner on her wedding day! The backbone of a person more prideful than her would be worn down to dust after spending two years in such a ruthless ce. Even more so if they were let out, only to discover that their beloved now treated them suspiciously! Outsiders may respect him as a business genius with extraordinary strategies, but the way I see it, hes merely an idiot whose follows things blindly! In the Yuan Family, Yuan Tian was the youngest grandchild. In terms of hierarchy, she naturally ranked lower than her three older male cousins, especially her third brother Yuan Xuan! Since she was the least pampered child in the family, even whenpared to the other girl from the second family named Yuan Ran, she was always afraid of Yuan Xuan and inherently feared him. She was truly taking great risks for her friends sake by criticizing Yuan Xuan the way she was right now! Mu Chenyan lifted the corners of her mouth and barely squeezed out a smile before she said, Dont let your brother hear this! If he discovers that youve been speaking so freely behind his back, then hell assume that Ive corrupted you! Yuan Tian sighed before approaching Mu Chenyan and replying affectionately, Its fortunate that you still have a chance to teach me these things. I heard of your release from prison when Id only just recently returned, and was so emotional that I cried all night. I assumed that we sisters wouldnt have an opportunity to meet ever again! Mu Chenyan felt that her soul produce the widest smile. This girl was already a little over 20 years old but still acted like a child who was dependent on her. Soon, the twp of them began naturally chatting again. Tian Tian, what are you doing now? Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Tians parents were both military surgeons as that her older brother Yuan Lun dealt with business in the field of medical instruments. Since Yuan Tian hade from a family with a strong foundation in the medical field, the third household of the Yuan Family could be considered a prominent family of medical officers! Im working as a medical intern in the military hospital and I specialize in the heart, brain, and blood vessels. My dad said that I can even possibly take charge of a department in another two years! Ive been thinking of bing a military doctor. After all, it would be better to venture outside into the world and face some hardships instead of being trapped at home. Yuan Tian seemed meek on the surface, but she was actually a rebel at heart! Chapter 22 - War Correspondent

Chapter 22: War Correspondent

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When she heard Yuan Tians innermost thoughts, Mu Chenyan expressed her admiration! The Yuan Family was wealthy in properties and assets but Yuan Tian was a person with lofty dreams and aspirations. Country Z was powerful and prosperous. When the neighboring smaller countries were having difficulties living out their days, they woulde and ask for help from Country Z. There were frequent wars as the few ethnic group heads from the bordering western frontier constantly staged armed rebellions in the name of religion. Being one of the children from the wealthy and prominent families in the South China Sea, Yuan Tian did what she could to defend her country,pelling others to think highly of her and her actions. Its unfortunate that I do not have any medical expertise nor do I know anything about the military. Otherwise, I would go to the front lines with you to achieve my own worth! Mu Chenyan spoke from her heart. Her background was in liberal arts so part of her line of work was writing manuscripts and getting the news around. She loved to read since young hence had enrolled to study journalism and liberal arts and randomly picked this profession. Since the Mu Family was wealthy, they did not look to her to support the family regardless of how well she did in her studies. Now it looked like she had been short-sighted with her ambitions. After speaking to Yuan Tian, she felt more inclined to get a stable and worthy job. Regardless of how things were to work out between her and Yuan Xuan in the future, she would not risk starving herself to death. Yuan Tian pondered for a while, before smiling and said, You could be a war correspondent! ** The Blue Sea and Sky Clubhouse was one of the Yuan Familys subsidiary private estates. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai raised their sses of red wine and toasted. If Yuan Xuans attractiveness was said to be the most handsome man in this day and age, then Shao Yibai would be the most charming devil! Their time in the army nurtured their tough nature. After things settled down and returned to normal, they reced their military uniforms with their own luxury clothes. Despite that, their ambiguous righteous and evil persona still showed as part of their charm and beauty! The two exceptionally handsome men sipped their wine. Observers had their hearts and souls stirred seeing the mens charm. Women who nced at them had half of their souls stunned in less than five seconds! These two good-looking men appeared resolutely more handsome when they were drinking together! Shao Yibai noticed Yuan Xuans somber and dark expression despite sipping a ss of 1982 Lafite. He knew that something must be on his mind. Young Mistress has already returned, so why do you still look unhappy? Shao Yibai sneered and teased at Yuan Xuan through his wine ss. She hates me deep down in her heart! Yuan Xuan casually replied. She went to Mu Fengs gravestone today and sat before it for an entire day! I caught her and forced her to return but Im worried that she will be sulking at home now! Yuan Xuan continued before gulping down half a ss of red wine in one go! So you dragged me from my hotel to see you drink your sorrows away? Shao Yibai had on an adding insult to injury smile. Her family has been broken and scattered, and you had her imprisoned for two years so it would be strange if she does not hate you! If I was her, I would want to stab you with a knife when I wake up in the middle of the night! Shao Yibai said frankly. You should have thought of this when you had her locked up! Now that she has returned, its normal for her to despise you! Why dont you tell her the truth? Shao Yibai knew the inside story but he could notprehend Yuan Xuans actions! Hearing Shao Yibais words, Yuan Xuans face was sullen. He swayed the wine ss in his hand, the dark red liquid flickered under the alluring lights. Yuan Xuan deliberated before he quietly said, I dont want her to be like me and live in agony! Once I find Mu Chenwu and take action on the necessary parties, Ill tell her! Seeing Yuan Xuan profoundly worked up, Shao Yibai felt envious! At least Yuan Xuan had gotten worked up for a cause. But for him, he only had endless remorse towards a woman, and he did not even know her name! Shao Yibai was slightly younger than Yuan Xuan but he was a popr target that youngdies of the famous families in the Capital City scrambled to possess. However, he has been living an ascetic life, no thanks to an emotional entanglement that happened three years ago! Yuan Xuan vaguely knew bits and pieces of what happened and was only aware that Shao Yibai previously had a woman. This matter was like a minefield to Shao Yibai! He regarded the woman with pain and remorse. Thus, nobody dared to mention or bring her up in front of him! The litigant himself remained tight-lipped, and his close friends would never inquire about it. After so many years, you should find a woman as well and settle down! Yuan Xuan quietly urged. Shao Yibai cast a sidelong nce at Yuan Xuan and groaned, Hmph! Aunty Yuan, when did you learn this hobby from the aunties who were always forcing marriage on me! Chapter 23 - The Most Peaceful Sleep That Yuan Xuan Had Gotten in These 14 Years

Chapter 23: The Most Peaceful Sleep That Yuan Xuan Had Gotten in These 14 Years

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Xuan returned to Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan was already asleep. Ah Fu prepared Yuan Xuans bath water while quietly reporting the events of the night. Young Mistress has been very obedient. She ate a lot, and finished the food that you provided and burped! Yuan Xuan listened as the kindhearted and naive young girl slowly spoke. When he imagined Mu Chenyan patting her little belly and burping in satisfaction, he could not help tough! After she had finished eating, Young Mistress went to the small tea room to make tea. Fifth Miss came over and chatted with her tillte. Young Mistress initially wanted her to stay for the night but Third Master called and exined that Fifth Miss need to attend a medical consultation at the military hospital early in the morning. He was concerned that her early morning departure would disturb Young Mistress sleep, thus he asked her to return! When Yuan Xuan heard that Yuan Tian came over, he thought of how Mu Chenyans spirits would be lifted. He was worried that the both of them had not chatted enough, so he instructed Ah Fu and said, Prepare more food tomorrow evening and go to Tranquility Mansion to invite Fifth Miss over for dinner! The Yuan Family Mansion spanned across thousands of acres ofnd. The innermost and center mansion that was far and remote from the others was Upper Mansion where Old Mistress Yuan resided. The three smaller mansions in front were Longevity Mansion, Peace Mansion, and Tranquility Mansion respectively. The three siblings of the Yuan Family resided here respectively. Each of the three mansions had their own main gate and guards. They may be small mansions in name but were only small inparison to Upper Mansion. In reality, they were three independent vis with gardens. Longevity Mansion was empty after Yuan Tangbai passed away. Worried that Yuan Xuan would yearn for the owner when he saw the house, Old Mistress had that mansion sealed and got Yuan Xuan to move into Hibiscus Garden once he was an adult. His new abode was close to her and they could even see each other from their separate buildings. Since Yuan Tian had yet to marry, she had always been staying with her parents in Tranquility Mansion. Yuan Tangshuo and his wife were engrossed in the art of healing, influencing their two children to take up medical professions as well. As National Day would be happening the day after tomorrow, the military was given leave. However, Third Uncles household did not celebrate this holiday because the hospital was always on standby for various matters that required their attention. Yuan Xuan thought of taking this opportunity to ask Yuan Tian over to give her a chance to catch her breath! ... After Yuan Xuan showered, he got into bed and saw a little protruding bundle from the nkets. Mu Chenyan had wrapped herself in the nkets and was breathing evenly. Seeing the little bundling figure, Yuan Xuan secretly swore in his heart that this woman was truly too frail and needed to be continually nourished by a great deal! Yuan Xuan embraced her from behind and took in the faint scent of floral soap on her. His initially anxious heart gradually calmed down. Mu Chenyan was sound asleep and felt a warmthing from her back, she groggily mumbled, Brother Xuan, stop it... Yuan Xuan was stunned because he thought he would never hear her call him Brother Xuan again... Even though she was just sleep-talking, it was enough to make Yuan Xuan very emotional! That night, Yuan Xuan had the most peaceful sleep in 14 years. ... Early morning the next day, sunlight cascaded inside past the window screen and nketed the balcony before scattering over the body of the woman who was still fast asleep. Mu Chenyan opened her eyes and suddenly felt her back was warm. She frantically turned over and faced straight into the mans misty and seductive eyes. His Adams apple bobbed up and down before Yuan Xuan used his warm lips to greet her! He initially only wanted to tease her but soon realized that he was not able to control himself once he started kissing! Their kiss burned like a raging fire. When she felt his engorged member rubbing against her underbelly, Mu Chenyan exerted all of her energy to push away the man on top of her whose breathing was gradually getting heavier! Men who had just risen in the morning were the most dangerous! Mu Chenyan calmed her breathing but was still afraid that the man would go crazy and take things further. She stared at him with her big watery eyes and stuttered, You... When did you... When did you returnst night? I held you the entire night while you slept! You slept really well! Was it because you felt particrly warm and secure with me beside you? Yuan Xuans voice was still hoarse from just now and was abnormally husky and deep. Mu Chenyan was reminded of the previous night when they were both together and he interrogated her asking, Little Chenyan, do you like me like this... Chapter 24 - Facial Recognition

Chapter 24: Facial Recognition

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan realized that she could not forget that nights events! If this continued on, it would be very dangerous if a minor incident was blown up into a serious matter! She quickly turned over and sat up before quietly saying, I slept soundly because I was exhausted yesterday, what does that have to do with you? When Yuan Xuan looked at the woman who said one thing but meant another, he recalled how she had called him Brother Xuan in a pampered voicest night. However, there was no anger in his heart. Instead, he strangely desired to dote on her even more. Yuan Xuan got out of bed as well and took his clothes out of the cloakroom and ced them on the bed. He nced at the petite woman, smiled and said, Youve returned for two days but have yet to see my grandmother! Ill bring you to buy some clothes and gifts today. We will be holding a banquet at home during the National Day holiday, so you should use that opportunity to have a good chat with my grandmother! Mu Chenyans heart pounded faintly. For someone like her who had grown up in a prominent illustrious family, attending a banquet was nothing new! However, she was in an awkward status as a well-known socialite who was recently freed from prison. If she relied on her status as the wife of the Yuan Familys grandson to attend an influential banquet like this, she felt slightly ufortable at heart! However, Mu Chenyan did not want to disy her true innermost thoughts before Yuan Xuan. It was like having to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea. In any case, she would have toe out and meet people! Regardless of how she had descended from the ranking of Luo Hai Citys number one socialite two years ago, she would need to crawl back up there again no matter what. Since her release from prison and Yuan Xuan brought her back, she would have to face this fate sooner orter! Alright! She faintly responded with one word! From the clothes that Yuan Xuan had picked out for her, Mu Chenyan pulled out an apricot-colored cardigan and a pair of beige pants before putting them on! When the little slim waist that twisted and turned before Yuan Xuans eyes, the mans enchanted eyes looked at it for a while before feeling pain in his member ... *** After breakfast, Yuan Xuan delegated some tasks for Yan Jun as he would not be going to the office. Several of Yuan Xuans subordinates were capable individuals. Since it was no issue for the Yuan n to takeplete charge, he could wash his hands of this and apany his wife to go shopping without any pressure! Mu Chenyan sat in Yuan Xuans car a cold and condescending look on her face. Along the journey, she merely concerned herself with looking out at the scenery through the window and left Yuan Xuan to admire the back of her head. Although it was like this, Yuan Xuan was still in a pretty good mood. This puzzled Mu Chenyan even more! ... All of the shop assistants and store managers of various renowned brands would nod and bow before Yuan Xuan wherever he went. They even frenziedly treated Mu Chenyan with the same kind of enthusiasm! This was the first time that they saw Yuan Xuan bringing a woman out shopping. The store managers were not stupid. If they had missed the best opportunity to fawn over the CEO, they did not know how many hundred years they would have to wait for the next chance! Miss, you simply couldnt be more beautiful if you wore this outfit! Theres no one in the whole of Luo Hai who could wear this and look as good as you! Miss, you should try this again. Its a limited edition piece and only seven of them in total have been produced worldwide. The international superstar Mei Mei has reserved one piece because of her tall stature so it would be a waste if someone with your physique did not reserve one as well... ... Chenyans mood was now frigid. When she saw people acting overly enthusiastic, she felt particrly awkward. Thus, she chose not to respond! She was merely concerned with trying on clothes because she could not find the mood to shop either. Hence, shepletely left it to Yuan Xuan to decide based on his preferences. He nodded, and the store attendants speedily wrapped everything up without even blinking their eyes. In the end, it seemed like Yuan Xuan never had any intentions of paying. Mu Chenyanst time lived inattentively and after spending two years in prison, she was unaware that paying methods such as cash, credit cards, and mobile payments were all out of date. There was another new payment method known as facial recognition... Mu Chenyan was feeling puzzled when Yuan Xuan stered himself beside her ear and lowered his voice exining, I purchased this chain of shopping mallsst month. If you want to buy clothes next time, you can simply show your face and be recognized no matter which city you visit! Hmph! Facial recognition? I still want my face! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him before walking to another shop on her own! Yuan Xuan did not fly into a rage as he watched the womans figure from the back. He smiled faintly before striding forward with his long legs to chase after her. Chapter 25 - Playing Dumb to Take Advantage of Others Was Learned from Ones Own CEO

Chapter 25: ying Dumb to Take Advantage of Others Was Learned from Ones Own CEO

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The packed clothes were quickly sent to the Yuan Family Mansion in an organized manner. After walking for a while, Mu Chenyan became somewhat weary of the crowd and rowdiness. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly before quietly saying, I think weve probably bought the necessary things already. This ce is kind of noisy so lets go home? Yuan Xuan looked at the list and realized that the formal dresses could be tailored by the Yuan familys specialized designers and delivered to their house, hence it was unnecessary to buy them here! However, the formal attire to be worn during cocktail sessions with the guests would not be custom-made in time. Thus, they needed to be bought in the shopping mall. He would temporarily settle for a few pieces before getting the designers toe by the house to take Chenyans measurements and tailor those outfits. He appeased her feelings and said in a deep voice, Well visit two or three more shops but you wont have to try on too many, is that alright? Mu Chenyan knew that the Yuan Family has lots of etiquettes to adhere to at the banquets. She would not be able to fit in with them if she did not have two or three outfits for a single banquet! Since this was also going to be her first public appearance, she was worried that she would embarrass Yuan Xuan and displease him. She nodded gently. The assistant following Yuan Xuan around today was Kang Yu. He was observant and noticing Mu Chenyans weary expression, he discreetly went ahead in advance to clear out several international luxury brand stores. When Mu Chenyan arrived, she realized that she was the only person in the entire area among the few stores in the initially lively shopping mall. The store attendants weed her enthusiastically upon her arrival. She suspiciously eyed Kang Yu. Youre the one who cleared the stores? Yuan Xuans secretary is clearly the same as him, youre both irrationally arrogant! Mu Chenyan softly spoke at a volume that only both of them could hear. Kang Yu had a calm expression on his face. He pushed his sses higher up on the bridge of his nose and gently smiled at Mu Chenyan as if he was innocent. ying dumb to take advantage of others was something that he had learned from his own CEO! The moment Mu Chenyan entered, a few shop assistants acted as if they had just seen the empress dowager and if they could, they would kneel and bow to her. They constantly circled her and continuously changed her into thetest fashionable formal gowns. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan sat at the VIP lounge enjoying his tea, with a mysterious smile on his bewitching yet arrogant face. Mu Chenyan was unaware that he was appreciating his woman, who was expounding a form of elegance and beauty that even models hired by major brands could not even bring out. ... Prada had never been a brand that Mu Chenyan liked. She had initially thought of not going in before noticing several pitiful shop assistants standing at the doorway in the hopes of her arrival. When they saw that Mu Chenyan was nning to go around, they had on sad and long faces as if they had suffered extremely big inconveniences! Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that if she did not enter, those girls would be as disappointed as the beauties in the imperial harem who were hoping to get randomly chosen to spend the night with the emperor before being informed that he did not require apanion in his chamber that night. She stepped into the shop and browsed around before choosing a in colored long silk dress to try. Suddenly, several women who resembled upper-ssdies appeared at the doorway. Their arms and necks were adorned with shiny red ruby nes and sapphire rings that boldly dazzled and blinded Mu Chenyans eyes. The woman who led them in had extremely fair skin. However, her out of shape physique indicated she had probably consumed too much of the delicacies of a wealthy household. Her hand-embroidered cheongsam seemed to be bursting at the seams. When the shop assistants saw that Mu Chenyan had yet to purchase anything from their store while a group of troublemakers had arrived at this moment, they became worried that the woman whom the CEO had brought would leave with a long face. Nheless, one of the younger shop assistants rushed over and stered a smile on her face and bowed before thedies at the doorway who were about to enter. Madams, Im sorry. Were currently taking count of some stock so well need to close the area for half an hour! The shop assistant did not say that they wanted to clear the store to provide Mu Chenyan with a desirable shopping environment to prevent unnecessary trouble! Hearing this, the fair woman who led the group in became unhappy. She pointed at Mu Chenyan and angrily asked, Why is she trying on clothes inside then? When Mu Chenyan saw that she was being used for no reason although she had initially not nned to buy clothes from here, she whispered to the shop assistant, Im not going to try the clothes anymore so you can let them in! She had not wanted them to clear the store for her either. The customers who gathered in international luxury stores like this were wealthy and respectable people. Moreover, attracting unnecessary trouble was not part of Mu Chenyans personality. She had never imagined that those words would provoke that woman. The fair woman turned around and pped the young shop assistant in the face! You said that you are counting stock and closing the area but I think youre purposely obstructing me! Are you aware that Im one of your tinum members who spend tens of thousands here every season and you dared to chase me out? Chapter 26 - This Place Was Not A Prison but the Same Conventions Were Present

Chapter 26: This ce Was Not A Prison but the Same Conventions Were Present

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The shop assistants little face immediately reddened and swelled up after the p. However, she dared not utter a word and merely held back her tears while apologizing. Madam, Im sorry but we were really just counting stock and closing the area. It will onlyst half an hour and it wont affect you if youe back in a while. I had no intention of chasing you off! Mu Chenyans face remained cold as she furrowed her brows and looked at the bossy woman and the young shop assistant who was shedding tears and holding her face but was too afraid to pipe up. She had onlye in contact with socialites who were refinedly educated! Her mother Yan Mei was born into a rich and influential family. In the Mu Family, they could neither make a sound when they were drinking soup nor could they walk in a manner that portrayed arrogance. Thus, growing up, Mu Chenyans was publicly zealous but was never a show-off. She might be mischievous but never rude and arrogant; she had a cheery disposition and optimistic personality but never to the point she would abuse it and be an annoying troublemaker! If it was not for the two years that she was unfairly imprisoned, she would never see and experience for herself the darkness and struggles of the lowest rung of society, nor would she have be the indifferent and withdrawn person that she was today... In that ruthless ce, they could simply raise their hands and strike others without caring whether they had sufficient reasons to do so! They did not even need a reason to beat somebody up. Resistance would only be met with harsher beatings! This was the reality that she had seen throughout the 700 and over days she spent inside! Every new person who entered would not be considered as a graduate of this special school if they had not suffered several unfair beatings! Mu Chenyan was not an exception... Although the outside world was not a prison, it still revolved around certain conventions. Status and social standing resembledbels that were already stuck on at birth. Anyone could either be an abuser or a victim and this was clear at one nce! Although no one held your arms down to prevent you from retaliating, the disparity between rankings would make you too afraid to hit back! The shop assistant suffered in silence but that was insufficient to appease the fair womans rage! When she saw Mu Chenyans delicate features and slender yet seductive figure,. Even when Chenyan was not talking, she was still able to stir up an intense presence that would even allow the most indifferent gazes to see through the supposed stillness of this matter. The fair woman hated this type of woman who resembled heavens darlings! She had good skin, a charming appearance, cool temperament, and a physique that was exceptionally well-maintained. Her age seemed as though it had reached a standstill before them and made people felt as if time could never defeat a beautiful woman! She unconsciously thought of the foxy women who are always surrounding her own man. They were a group of young women who were simr to her! Her mental state gradually grew more unbnced. This woman could spend in a shop like this but no one knew if she was a rich tycoon herself or if she was spending an unknown mans money! Thinking of this, she grew angrier and the more she could not bear to look at Mu Chenyans delicate face. Looking at the dress that Mu Chenyan tried on, she realized that she would not be able to fit in it even if she were to slice off twenty kilograms of flesh from her body. Fury and jealousy seeped out from the depths of her heart. Since she had no where to disce it, the unfortunate young person at the doorway became the best target to vent her frustrations! Go get the manager! Youre just a little shop assistant but since I think that youre picking a fight for no reason, I dont want to do business here anymore! She pped again, clearly venting her pent-up anger! Thats right, our spendings add up to a turnover of several million a year. If you blindly chase us out, will you be able to bear the losses? The several women whom the fair woman, Li Li, had brought along saw her furious, they spoke up in unison as well. This was the manner of people who merely desired to stir up trouble. Moreover, since the fair womans anger could only subside with great difficulty, they could not be considered as her friends if they did not do as she wished. The young shop assistant was frightened to tears and wept, Ive just finished my internship but havent received my sry. Madams, I didnt recognize you but please forgive me for failing to acknowledge your importance... Mu Chenyan could not bear to watch further. Since she had caused this issue, the young shop assistant would truly be unfortunate if she did not take action! Madams, you should be happy when youre out shopping, so why make things difficult for an employee? Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and gently said, They were really just closing the area earlier but if you would like toe in, you may enter now! The fair woman was initially looking for an excuse but could not do so if Mu Chenyan did not say anything. Seeing that Mu Chenyan has finally spoken, the fair womans imposing manner got stronger before she let out a torrent of verbal abuse. Where did this slutty foxe out from? I dont know which mans money youre shamefully spending but if youre going to strut around here, be careful because the first wife is going to catch you on the street one day and rip off all your clothes! Chapter 27 - This Man Could Not Be Offended

Chapter 27: This Man Could Not Be Offended

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Why would you need to buy such beautiful clothes? I think that itd be fine for you to only buy sleepwear, seeing that you rely on crawling into mens beds to earn money! Mu Chenyan had never imagined that she would actually be chided as a mistress who slept around after she had only said a few words! Whose bed had she crawled into? It only happened once, and Yuan Xuan had forcefully dragged her there! Seeing the fair womans face had swelled up and be purplish-red from anger and envy, she sneered with a mocking look on her face. Madam, youre presumably born of nobility, so arent you afraid of losing your social status when you speak in such a crude manner? You said that I crawl into mens beds and act as if youve witnessed it! On the contrary, could it be that your husband is the one whos frequently straddled by others? The untouchable ce of grief in the depths of the fair womans heart was immediately stirred up by Mu Chenyan! Indeed, she came out looking resplendent and graceful when she carried the title of Mrs Chen, proudly sashaying around her circle of socialite sisters. However, when she returned home at night, she was the only one who knew how lonely the nights were and how it was to live through them! The men outside who had eaten and drunk their fill would rather blind themselves when they looked at her body of pale flesh, so why would they even want to briefly touch her? As for the women who had crawled into her husbands bed, she had hit them on numerous asions but that did not stop the man from continuing to find them! All of the hatred at the bottom of her heart erupted before she lost all reasoning and judgment and only cared to vent her personal anger! Wow, you actually dared to scold me, you vixen? Ill rip and shred your face and well see whether youll still be brave enough to show off! The fair womans entire body shook in anger. She charged over, raised her hand and pped Mu Chenyans face! The fiery pain on the face was real. Mu Chenyan remained motionless while she indifferently considered the fair womans flustered and exasperated state! Mu Chenyan was the person who was hit but the fair woman looked as if she was in a worse state. She was at a lost seeing Mu Chenyans cold gaze that just stared at her. She had initially assumed that Mu Chenyan would either pounce on her or make a big fuss. She had never imagined that Mu Chenyan would just give her the cold shoulder. There was even a scornful sneer on the corners of her mouth! This woman was so calm and coldly elegant, unlike the other mistresses that she had previously hit. Nheless, how did this woman possess this kind of aura despite noting from a rich and influential family? The fair woman became somewhat frightened. Two or three years before her husband had returned to Luo Hai, she had been following her grandfather to run the business outside previously. She knew of the several big yers in Luo Hai but could not ce the origins of the young woman before her. She would not be able to take responsibility for this in the event that she had struck one of the respectable individuals. When her socialite sisters saw that the fair woman had taken the first step while her opponent had yet to hit back, they decided that she should quickly withdraw while she still had the upper hand. Li Li, I think thats enough. Dont lower yourself to the level of a mere girl who has yet to learn proper limits! We wont visit this store anymore because the rest are the same anyway! When Li Li heard this, she hurriedly nodded, and purposely amplified her imposing manner before she yelled, Ill forgive you this once! If I see you acting so arrogantly again next time, Ill really rip and shred your face! After she had spoken, she turned to leave with the other women. Suddenly, an extremely grim voice with obvious suppressed anger roared, Do you think you can leave easily as you please after pping my woman? Li Li, the socialite sisters that she had brought with her, and even Mu Chenyan were clearly shocked by the mans tone that contained apparent traces of suppressed fury. The noble and arrogant man elegantly leaned one of his shoulders against the doorway of the VIP lounge, both of his hands were in the pockets of his pants. His pitch-ck, slightly curled hair hung down before his forehand while his dark, wild, and ruthless gaze announced to everyone around him that he could not be offended! When Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuan walking towards her, she turned her head and lowered her gaze. Her stance implied that she did not need his concern! Yuan Xuans heart was extremely vexed! It was not solely because that piece of white flesh had struck his woman! It was more because of this woman named Mu Chenyans indifferent attitude! Dont you know how to retaliate when someone else hits you? The mans voice was gentle and somewhat dreamy when he reached his hand out and stroked Chenyans face that was red and swollen from the p. Chapter 28 - If a Dog Bit Me, Would You Want Me to Bite It in Return?

Chapter 28: If a Dog Bit Me, Would You Want Me to Bite It in Return?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan did not avoid him but merely tilted her body and pursed her lips. She faintly smiled and said, If a dog bit me, would you want me to bite it in return? When he heard her cheeky reply, Yuan Xuan snorted and said, Little siren, no wonder you continue to tter others even when they hit you for no reason! You make it impossible for ugly women to survive! Among these two people, one of them was extraordinarily handsome while the other was charmingly refined, making them a perfect match for each other. Moreover, their interactions were intimate enough to make the rest feel shy! When Li Li heard that she was being secretly cursed and saw that the little slut was protected by an attractive, well-built man, her jealous heart immediately made her head spin again in anger. Furious to the point that her entire body trembled, she pointed at Mu Chenyan and cursed, Youre really a vixen. Now that youve found a man to support you, are you just going to behave as you wish? However, it was excusable for Li Li to not recognize Yuan Xuan! Firstly, Yuan Xuan was an extremely private person in the outside world and seemed as though he did not appear in the public eye at all. His grand wedding that happened two years ago was a spectacr event that was only reported by several designated media outlets that were at the scene. Moreover, they were not permitted to photograph the respected individuals there as they pleased. If he had not recently purchased this mall and had a meeting upstairs earlier before the new director took his photo and circted it to the malls personnel as part of their training routine, most of the staff would not even recognize Yuan Xuan! Another point was that Li Li had recently followed her husband Chen Gang back to Luo Hai but Chen Gang rarely brought her along to attend the actual aristocratic banquets because he disliked how she crude she was. Thus, how would she have gotten the chance to meet Luo Hais major big yer? However, some of the women at Li Lis side were unlike the others. When they saw that Yuan Xuan had an imposing aura, the women from various backgrounds were frightened that they warned Li Li and said, Thats enough. The other person didnt even retaliate so why do you have to fight so shamefully? Li Li reluctantly calmed down. When she heard her sisters warnings, she anxiously put on a fiercer facade. She took the chance to remove herself from the situation again and said, Im not going to lower myself to the level of a vixen like you... Kang Yu entered the store at this moment. He had to answer a call from Yan Jun and only left for less than ten minutes. He had never imagined that the CEOs wife would be pped across the face in such a short period of time... Whats going on? Kang Yu saw the red, swollen side of Mu Chenyans face and noticed Yuan Xuans murderous re on him. Frightened, Kang Yu swallowed his saliva and softly asked, Third Young Master, whats the matter? Yuan Xuans expression was dark, his eyes gleamed coldly. He gestured his chin to the few women and said, Ask them! Kang Yu cast his gentle nature aside. He turned around to look at the group of women at the doorway with a an eerily cold gaze that made them trembled! Were you the ones who hit her? Kang Yus attitude made these women realized that the situation was not as simple as they thought. They had really got into trouble now! The few women were not idiots. Since they were not the ones who had pped her, they would not admit it now! They retreated one after another and shoved Li Li forward before saying, It wasnt us, it was her! Her fake sisters had hung Li Li out to dry. However, since cowering was not an option for her at this moment, she stood up and admitted, It was me! Whats the matter? When Kang Yu saw Li Li, he said lightly, Mrs Chen? Li Li felt that he looked very familiar when she heard him addressing her. Kang Yus mouth twitched. He felt helpless against this womans stupidity. Earlier, The Yuan Family group invited bidders for a mining project and Mrs Chens husband was unable to win the main bid. He came looking for him in the hopes to obtain some mineral dust to process as a business. Yuan Xuan was away on a business trip that time but since insignificant scraps like the remaining mineral dust could be given to anyone, he was not concerned with it. Chen Gang had brazenly pestered Kang Yu while Mrs Chen had even followed him to the Yuan Group numerous times. Thus, Kang Yu remembered them! When Li Li recognized Kang Yu as well, she was scared out of her wits! If Kang Yu was the right-hand-man of the Yuan Familys Third Young Master, would that mean the man whom he was speaking to with respect was Third Young Master Yuan? Chapter 29 - Digging Ones Own Grave

Chapter 29: Digging Ones Own Grave

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Yuan Familys most minute actions would greatly affect Jiang Nan. With the military honors and achievements that their ancestors had left behind and their emerging business empire, offending the Yuan Family was equivalent to digging ones own grave! She had forgotten to pray before she left her house today, how did she encounter such a godly individual? Her damned hand had even hit his woman... Li Li trembled as she approached Kang Yu. She forced and squeezed a smile on her fleshy face, making her look like a flower. Secretary Kang, it was a misunderstanding, it was really a misunderstanding. I didnt know that they were your friends! Kang Yu did not even bat an eyelid while his gaze swept over in Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyans direction! Mu Chenyan was obviously not concerned. She seemed distracted as if this was irrelevant to her! Yuan Xuan suppressed his anger inside his heart because he did not want to waste his thoughts on a person like this. He looked at Li Li before with an extremely cold and disgusted expression. Li Li understood that her only way out was to beg that woman. She groveled and came before Mu Chenyan before putting on a long face and pitifully begged, Miss, Im truly wretched. I didnt know who you were. I offended you numerous times earlier but a person of great morals such as yourself should forgive the misdeeds of a lowly person like me. Please ask Secretary Kang to treat me with mercy and not lose his temper! Since she was too afraid to approach Yuan Xuan, she could only summon up the courage to grovel at Mu Chenyans feet now. Mu Chenyan was extremely calm. She neither made her position known nor did she disyed any delight in taking revenge. She only nced at Yuan Xuan and quietly said, Im hungry, lets go eat something! When Yuan Xuan saw her acting in this manner, he got absentminded for a moment. Now that she had left prison after spending two years there, this womans nature had be so indifferent. He was unsure whether she could return to her previous cheery and lively disposition... Kang Yu, Ill leave this to you! Yuan Xuan turned around and instructed Kang Yu! Kang Yu thoroughly understood his words. He knew Yuan Xuans temper all too well. Raising her hand to strike her was already out of the question because he would already give her a hard time even if she had merely verbally threatened Miss Chenyan. Mrs Chen, you and your family just returned from Xi Zhou, right? Kang Yu was actually a refined rascal. Despite speaking in a threatening manner, he still looked very kind! Xi Zhousnd is barren and its produce is scarce but its the most suitable ce to lose weight. I think that it would be best for Mr and Mrs Chen to retire there so that you wouldnt have to return to Luo Hai! When Li Li heard this, she knew that he wanted to chase them back to Xi Zhou. Her husband begged almost everybody he knew to obtain a permit from Luo Hais Ministry of Land and Resources. He shifted his own mineral developmentpany to Luo Hai to leave that destitute Xi Zhou! She had never imagined that her own despicable actions and a single p were enough to send her whole family back. She immediately copsed on the ground in a numbed state before she began to roll around and cried. Mu Chenyan changed out of the dress and just exited the fitting room. Seeing Li Lis shameful state, she furrowed her eyebrows. She passed the dress to the still-terrified young shop assistant at the doorway and said softly, Were about the same size so just take this dress and consider that Ive given it to you! The young shop assistant was dumbfounded. Her hands trembled as she took the dress and nced at her manager. Her manager nodded discreetly. The young shop assistant turned back to look at Mu Chenyan for a while before bursting into tears... * After leaving Prada, Yuan Xuan brought her to eat seafood hot pot. Mu Chenyan loved eating seafood. Since she was particrly hungry after experiencing such a strenuous situation, she took the opportunity to eat a lot. Yuan Xuan leaned against the chair with his arms crossed while he adoringly watched her shoving te after te of food into the pot. A pile of tes soon stacked up tall before him in a short while. If this goes on, the dresses and new clothes that she bought today would probably need to change and he would need to purchase a new batch. The swollen half of her face bulged as she chewed her food, making Mu Chenyan looked as cute as a little groundhog... Chapter 30 - The Love of the Past Was Now Equivalent to Hatred

Chapter 30: The Love of the Past Was Now Equivalent to Hatred

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Does it still hurt? Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Yuan Xuan asked her. Briefly stunned, Mu Chenyan lowered her almond-shaped eyes. She pondered for a long time without a sound before realizing that he was asking about her face. She stroked her cheek. It was searing with pain earlier but she could not really feel the pain now because she had exerted herself while chewing. Mu Chenyan lowered her head and silently smiled. Thinking that she was still in pain, Yuan Xuan could not help but lean forward to take a closer look. Mu Chenyan could smell the faint peppermint smell from the man as he got closer to her. Her nostrils were instantly filled with his scent that made her entire body reacted in an unnatural manner! She suddenly raised her head and directly met the affectionate gaze in the mans profound eyes, indicating that he was truly caring for her. Mu Chenyan retreated. She shook her head once she was within a safe distance from him. In a calm manner, she softly asked, Why would a minor issue like this matter? When I was inside, which of the beatings that I suffered werent worse than this? The hand that Yuan Xuan had extended outward paused stiffly in mid-air. He gritted his teeth and spatted out the words one-by-one asking, Who hit you? When she saw Yuan Xuans look of disbelief, Mu Chenyan suddenly felt likeughing. However, her forbearing nature caused her to forcibly suppress that smile. Nheless, traces of a sneer faintly appeared at the corners of her mouth! Yuan Xuan lowered his eyes, which were as dark as ancient ponds. They surged like great waves as Mu Chenyans brief words agitated him! Before waiting for Mu Chenyans reply, he asked again, You said that someone hit you in prison? Mu Chenyan obviously did not want to answer this question. Her coldly elegant little face was now red because of her emotions that sharply rose and fell. Seeing that she was pretending to be calm on the surface, Yuan Xuans heart twisted into a knot. He felt helpless with Mu Chenyans indifference and could only return to his seat slowly. This was the first time his heart was shrouded with panicked emotions! Perhaps things were currently developing in a direction that even he could not anticipate! Mu Chenyan suddenly stood up. When she looked down at Yuan Xuan, her big dark eyes seemed like billowing waves because the tears that she held back were about to overflow! She sniffed before saying lightly, Dont tell me that you dont know about those filthy things! All this while, I thought that I had to quietly suffer as retribution for killing your childhood sweetheart. Thus, I never resisted it. You should be very satisfied with the result, right? After Mu Chenyan had finished speaking, she took long strides and left her seat to avoid the embarrassment that would arise from Yuan Xuans exnation. She left the restaurant and sat in the back seat of the car. Yuan Xuans face was gloomy as he entered the car as well. Both of his hands gently stroked the steering wheel as he nced at the woman through the rear view mirror. She seemed calm on the surface but her heart was actually seething... As the car went through the busy traffic, Yuan Xuan could clearly tell that she was quietly weeping because her shoulders trembled trying to suppress her sobs... ... Before they arrived at the Yuan Family Mansion, Mu Chenyan had already fallen asleep leaning against the seat. Reluctant to wake her up, Yuan Xuan reached his arms out and held her against his chest. She was one hundred and seventy centimeters tall but weighed less than a hundred pounds. How did she face the hardships that happened during those two years? Yuan Xuan had initially sent her in there because he did not want to drag her into the Yuan Familys drama. Moreover, he did not want her to be coteral damage when the Mu Family copsed. Thus, he had made internal arrangements and assumed that Mu Chenyan would receive special care. If she had not personally said it today, it would be impossible for Yuan Xuan to believe that she was actually tortured in prison despite his protection! How could he even imagine that Luo Hais number one socialite who was previously so proud and pampered, managed to endure more than 700 torturous days? How much despair and pain had she felt when he had only visited her once during the two years she spent there? He was afraid that the love she had for him in the past was now equivalent to hatred! ... Yuan Xuan gently ced the woman on the bed. Ah Fu had already hung up the clothes that were delivered by the mall inside the wardrobe. Ah Fu was excited when she saw the gorgeous clothes. When she saw that the Young Master had returned and was carrying the Young Mistress in his arms, a sweet smile beamed across the girls face. Third Young Master and Young Mistress seemed to enjoy themselves. You told me to call Fifth Miss over for a meal but neither of you was here. Fifth Miss left after she had eaten and even helped to tidy up the clothes that were delivered by the mall. She said that the Young Mistress previously looked beautiful no matter what she wore. She possesses both talents and good looks and with the beautiful clothes, perhaps Young Mistress will regain the position of the number one socialite when she steps foot outside...

Chapter 31: Youre A Selfish Guy, You Dont Deserve Chenyans Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan looked at the woman who was sound asleep in bed. Her slender body was graceful and her snow-white like fair skin almost seemed transparent. While she was sleeping soundly, all the burdens and worries on her extremely exquisite little face were gone. It made her looked so peaceful! She was originally the top socialite! Nheless, after meeting him, he ruined everything that she had and made her an angel with broken wings. Now, he wanted to make her the top socialite again? The feeling of being able the grasp the fate of others did not always feel that good! Yuan Xuan was feeling heavy hearted and this made him feel worse than seeing Shu Qingers tragic death! Yan Jun, find out whos the one who gave them consent to torture Mu Chenyan during her two years in prison. Do not let any of them go! Yuan Xuan picked up his phone. His icy tone could not hide the anger in his voice. Yan Jun on the other side of the phone realized the severity of this matter! Third Young Master, youve made an arrangement so that Miss Chenyan will not even be sent to do heavybors. How could there be people torturing her? Is anybody from Attorney Wus side aware of this? Yan Jun was shocked. It was the first time that this had happened in Luo Hai City Yuan Xuans arrangement had failed? Even the prisoners were under his control unless someone deliberately disobeyed him! This was simply out of the world! Ill get into it right away! Yan Jun epted his order. Yuan Xuan hung up the phone and thought for a moment. Then, he dialed Wu Zes number. Yuan Third Young Master, Mu Chenyan has already returned safe and sound. Its not a good thing if youre calling me! Wu Zes voice was polite and elegant. Even though he made a living out of arguing, it did not change the fact that he had a gifted good voice! This elegant and beautiful voice probably helped him a lot in the courts. Not to mention, his handsome looks, strong family background, and solid professional aplishments... The young Attorney Wu was already one of the four famouswyers in the judicial industry. This arrogantwyer who charged rtively expensive hours was on Mu Chenyans case for two years. Wu Ze, did Chenyan tell you that she was abused in prison? Each time Yuan Xuan said that word, his heart would clench making him feel extremely ufortable! Although he was in a wealthy family, he knew how evil and cruel humanity could be. Mu Chenyan casually talked about how she was tortured, but he could guess how inhumane it was with the way they tortured her. He even med her for being so cold after two years. How could she have survived those suffering days if she was not this dejected? What did you say? Mu Chenyan... was abused? Green veins started appearing on Wu Zes handsome face. He was holding a ss of wine with his slender long fingers. Due to the shocking words, he threw the ss of wine onto the floor and it looked like a pool of fresh blood... Hearing Wu Zes surprised tone, Yuan Xuan figured that he most probably also heard it for the first time. Yes. Mu Chenyan personally told me about it today. She thought that I was behind it... Yuan Xuan tried his best to maintain a calm tone, just like how cold and heartless he was in the past. Nevertheless, his heart was trembling because Mu Chenyan was hiding an endless amount of hate behind her seemingly cold expression! If it was not for him, why would Mu Chenyan be sent to such a terrifying ce? Yuan Xuan, Ive warned you since the beginning. Your selfishness will only hurt Chenyan deeply. If you dont love her, someone else will... Wu Zes was feeling extraordinarily emotional and Yuan Xuan was stunned when he heard him blurting out those words! The reserved man remained silent for a moment, Wu Ze, do you like Mu Chenyan? Yuan Xuan was a man with an obsession for loyalty, so he was very sensitive! Wu Ze was speechless, ... Im telling you, shes my woman and youre my brother. I asked you to take care of her for me, not giving her to you. Even if it was a woman that I dont want anymore, no one else can touch her! Yuan Xuans tone was domineering as usual and there was even a dark surge of murderous intent in it. There was no difference even to his good friend! Wu Ze could hear the unfriendly tone in Yuan Xuans voice and heughed sarcastically, You, are a truly selfish guy! Chapter 32 - There Is Hate Because There is Love

Chapter 32: There Is Hate Because There is Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xuan got even more heavy-hearted because of his conversation with Wu Ze! His noble bloodline and good upbringing prevented him fromshing out. However, he needed an outlet to release the stuffiness in his heart! He stood up and took two bottles of aged Mo from the private wine cer at the back of the building. ... Yuan Xuan first met Wu Ze when they were studying abroad together. They were both the children of the noble families in Luo Hai City, and both of them abandoned the profession that was passed down by their ancestors and chose to fight alone in their chosen paths. They were both equally rebellious and capable. Thus, they got along quickly and became bosom friends! However, there was also an incident which helped form their friendship! The Yuan Family was too well-known. During the early days, while building the familys achievements, they offended quite a number of people. The dark forces abroad knew that the Yuan Family Mansions only son, Yuan Xuan was studying abroad. Moreover, this 20 years old young man might be the Yuan Familys sessor. How could they give up on such a good opportunity? There was once when Yuan Xuan was being chased after by an enemy. Wu Ze put his life at risk to help his friend and he was shot twice! This young man was really lucky. Both of the bullets seemed to have grown a pair of eyes and none of them hit his vital parts. Despite that, Wu Ze still stayed in the hospital for three months, and his chest and abdomen were left with two, unpleasant-looking bullet hole scars. At that time, Wu Ze even joked, Since my seductive muscr body is ruined, you must take responsibility for me! Yuan Xuan punched his chest and said, Ill help you get any woman you like! Che~ Who needs help with this kind of thing? I, the Young Master of the Wu Family could do it easily with just my face! Ever since then, Wu Ze was part of Yuan Xuans life circle. In Yuan Xuans words, he owed Wu Ze his life! ... Yuan Xuan thought about Wu Zes attitude towards Mu Chenyan and his heart went cold. He never thought that one day, his best friend would fall in love with his woman... Although Wu Ze did not directly admit it, his attitude exined everything! Wu Ze was not an emotional person, but hebeled him as a selfish guy because of a woman! *** Mu Chenyan woke up in the middle of the night and felt extremely thirsty. She did not see Yuan Xuan in the room. Since Ah Fu had already gone to bed, she got up and went to the kitchen on the first floor to pour herself a cup of water. It felt veryfortable stepping on the wooden stairs barefoot! Mu Chenyan did not notice that the man on the sofa in the first floors living room. He was staring at her with his piercing and distant gaze! Ah! You... Why isnt there any sound... when you walk? After drinking a cup of water beside the water dispenser, Mu Chenyan turned around and bumped into a firm chest. She felt a surge of cool hormonal aura spreading towards her aggressively and she was at a loss on what to do. Yuan Xuan pulled her into his arms and hugged her. She was shivering from the sudden scare and her slender body became even tenser due to the tension. Both of them leaned against each other and they could feel one anothers warmth. Mu Chenyan felt a hot sensation all over her body and she instinctively wanted to resist! Yuan Xuans breath was somewhat unstable and he was starring at Mu Chenyan with his deep dark eyes. He felt her resisting and he tightened his hug around her. He whispered into her ears, Chenyan... Chenyan... Mu Chenyan detected the smell of red wine! It seemed like he drank quite a bit. She nced at the coffee table and sofa, there were wine bottles and sses scattered all over it... You drank too much, Ill help you back to the room! Mu Chenyan tried to slip her hand out to support Yuan Xuan, but he did not allow her to escape! His breath became heavy. The sweet aroma of red wine in his breath was like waves, crashing non-stop onto Mu Chenyan! Ever since you got back, the number of words that we spoke could not evenpare to the past hour... Yuan Xuans arms were as firm as iron. He was mumbling, but it sounded more like he wasining about how Mu Chenyan was so cold and heartless today! In the past, I was the one who talked more and youve always been like this! Its just that I dont feel like talking as much now, which is why you feel weird... Mu Chenyans voice was not loud. It was soft and gentle, but it did not sound like she was pouting. Instead, it sounded more like a pettyint! Chapter 33 - Her Body Answered His Question Perfectly and Honestly

Chapter 33: Her Body Answered His Question Perfectly and Honestly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She had a cold look on her face whilst her pride prevented anyone from getting near her. She wore an expression that seemed to say that she had severed all emotional ties. This hurt Yuan Xuan deeply. He thought that she would still be the same Mu Chenyan from before after her release. He did not think that she would be abused in prison and became so cold after her ordeal. Moreover, Wu Ze had been the one who stayed by her side during the two most difficult years of her life... You hate me, right? I was the one who made you suffer... Yuan Xuan was indeed drunk as he began to question her in a low voice. At the moment, this man was no longer his usual arrogant and cold self. His indifferent attitude had disappeared and he was now acting like a normal man! Mu Chenyan was stunned for a moment. She did not understand whether he wasining about others or criticizing himself. After a long pause, Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Things arent so bad that I hate you... After all, to love is to suffer. Youve always thought that I was the one behind Shu Qingers death. Well, since youre the one who ruined the Mu Family, why dont we just call it even? Even? You mean you want to sever all ties? Yuan Xuan stared at Mu Chenyans calm and emotionless face. He was hoping to see her change her expression to one which he oh, so desired. However, Mu Chenyans had a cold look on her face and she responded to him without any emotion. At this point, there is nothing between the two of us. Youre really pushing it if youre asking me to love you! The meaning behind Mu Chenyans words was very clear. Yuan Xuan was the one who ruined her family, there was no way she could be obsessed with him the way she used to be. No! Both of Yuan Xuans eyes were bright red and shed with excitement. He hugged the woman in his arms as his warm, wine-tinged breaths blew against the side of her face. You cant not love me... His breaths were getting heavier and his embrace was suffocating. It felt as though he wanted to pull the woman in his arms into his heart! Mu Chenyan was terrified of Yuan Xuans behavior. Unfortunately, it was already toote by the time she detected the dangerous aura. She freed herself from Yuan Xuans grasp, but was recaptured before she could even take a step. The drunken man was shockingly strong! Yuan Xuan was like a beast who had lost control. He carried Mu Chenyan and impatiently rushed toward the room that was closest to them, the small tea room on the first floor. Yuan Xuan, are you crazy? Mu Chenyan asked in a trembling voice! The small tea room had tatami flooring and was very spacious inside. Yuan Xuan ced Mu Chenyan onto the soft rattan mat and began to hurriedly take off her clothes. Yuan Xuan, what are you going to do? Rape me? Mu Chenyan was angry and worried as her tiny little face was drained of color. She tried to resist his advances by pushing him away with both her hands and her feet. Yuan Xuan paused and slowly said in a deep voice, Little Chenyan, the room next to us is Ah Fus bedroom... I dont want to be rough. I just want to know, do you still love me? Stop telling lies and answer me with your body... Mu Chenyan was stunned and she dared not make a sound. The onlyint she made was with the look in her eyes. The mans breath was getting even more erratic as he grew furious due to the fact that he could not unbutton her clothes. Therefore, he suddenly ripped open her cotton clothes with brute-force! Her snow-white skin almost seemed transparent under the moonlight. It looked plump and passionate with a hint of pink... Yuan Xuans eyes were getting blurry as he looked at the frightened woman whose expression was as though she had fallen into an abyss. He could no longer control himself and he lowered his head to kiss her. His hot and wet kisses gradually moved downward. He was acting in a predatory manner and had a pained expression as he said with an unusually hoarse voice, Little Chenyan, you cant not love me, do you know that? Tears quietly rolled down the corners of Mu Chenyans eyes. Her entire body was trembling and she bit her lips so that she would not make a sound. Nheless, the beast inside her heart was howling... Yuan Xuan could not suppress his desires toward her! ... The womans soft and tender voice was disjointed... She was slowly falling for his wineced kisses! Her body felt as though it was shattering from the exprerience... You still love me, right? He held her trembling body tightly. This was thest question Yuan Xuan asked before Mu Chenyan lost conciousness. Her body answered his question perfectly, but her heart was bleeding away. Chapter 34 - I Saw The Satisfied Look On Your Face

Chapter 34: I Saw The Satisfied Look On Your Face

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan first met him when she was 10 and immediately knew that he was the one! As a Virgo, she was very stubborn, which was why nothing had changed after so many years. Her love toward him got only deeper as the days went by. Simrly, the hurt that she suffered today felt even more painful as time passed... Previously, she was never one to be afraid of love and hatred. Moreover, everyone in Luo Hai City knew that the Mu Familys Young Mistress was in love with the Yuan Familys Third Young Master. Despite this, Mu Chenyan had never thought that she would one day use her body to respond to his love! Since she did not want to admit that she loved him, Yuan Xuan used the most primitive of methods to prove it... And now, she wasying under his body. Even though her heart was clearly against it, her body pandered to his every wish. Little Chenyan, you still love me... I saw the satisfied look on your face... It was all was over! Mu Chenyan turned her head and left him with a side profile of her firmly biting her lips. In truth, she was trying to hide due to her embarrassment. Yuan Xuan sneered coyly at her. Then, he suddenly lowered his head and bit her shoulder! Hiss... Chenyan bit her tongue due to the pain and recalled that the room beside the small tea room was Ah Fus bedroom. Because of this, she was frightened and dared not make a sound. This pervert! Was he the reincarnation of a dog? Mu Chenyan cursed him internally. The red flush on her tiny face became even more obvious. At this moment, the woman who was being bitten frowned and began biting her own lips. The look of futile resistance on her face only served to trigger Yuan Xuans desire to dominate her. Perhaps it was in every mans nature to be ruthless. Perhaps, this surpressed trait of theirs would be unleashed whilst under the influence of alcohol. He wanted to continue to ravage her once more. His eyes were blurry, but when he caressed the bite mark on her shoulder, he found out that there were two deep circr-shaped scars under her armpit! She had been rtively spoiled ever since young and therefore, her body was wless. Even if she birthmarks, her background as a Young Mistress of a noble family would allow her to find ways to remove it with the help of advanced modern technology. How could there be a scar like this on her body? He touched the two scars with his hands and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.. Instantly, all feelings of romance disappeared! Yuan Xuans face darkened as he caressed the two circr-shaped scars with his hand. At this point, Mu Chenyan exined in a low voice, Theres no need to be surprised, those are cigarette burn marks. Fortunately, they are not in obvious positions. Otherwise, it wont look good when I wear a nightgown. After being stunned for quite some time, Yuan Xuan snapped back to his senses and immediately began racing through his thoughts in an attempt to figure out the identity of the individual who had burned her. He knew that she had been beaten, but now he was discovering that someone had left marks on her wless body that could not be erased. These people had dug their own grave! I will make sure that they suffer before ending their life! Mu Chenyan had never seen Yuan Xuan lose his temper so badly before! He was born a noble, and since he grew up under the guidance of the Old Mistress Yuan, his personality had been shaped differently than your average Joe. Other than treating others coldly, he also behaved a little overbearingly and ruthlessly. However, he was never one to defy thew or abuse his authority. Thus, Mu Chenyan was shocked when he imed that he would make her perpetrators suffer before ending their lives. Even if you took revenge for me and hurt them, the scars on my body will not disappear! In truth, she wanted to bring up the fact that the scar in her heart would not disappear. However, she swallowed those words at thest second. I want to take a shower... Mu Chenyan was quickly attempted to escape from this awkward scene. When she got up, both of her legs started trembling because of how worn out she was after having sex. After seeing her struggle to her feet, Yuan Xuan got up and supported her. Then, he carried her and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor. ... Yuan Xuan washed Mu Chenyans body attentively and seemed to be on the lookout for any other hidden scars on her body. He was too excited the first time they did it and did not notice the burn scars, even though they went at it a few times on that night. Now that he discovered them, he could not let it go. He caressed it over and over again while imagining the scene during the incident... After all, burns were well known to be the most painful wounds to receive! Furthermore, these two scars did not seem like they were made with just a single burn. Chapter 36 - Distant Niece

Chapter 36: Distant Niece

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan held Mu Chenyan in his embrace; not a word was said throughout the night. The two clearly shared the most intimate contact, yet there always seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two. ... The next day, after Mu Chenyan awoke and had finished her breakfast, she saw that Yuan Xuan had not yet left for work, so she made a request, I want to go to the hospital to visit my mom. Yuan Xuan hesitated a little before going to the garage to pick out a Ferrari for Mu Chenyan. Go, and be back quick. The gown for the banquet will be arriving soon, so try it on when youre back. If it doesnt fit, we still have time to make alterations. Mu Chenyan raised her brow, then she epted the car key and nodded her head in approval. Hailing a taxi in this area was too troublesome. It would be much more convenient for her to get around if she had a car. ... She didnt know if Yuan Xuan had deliberately arranged for Yan Mei to stay in Sheng Yu, the private hospital in Luo Hai. This was an aristocratic infirmary, and it was not rowdy like the public hospital. The environment here was good and the medical conditions were far better than the other grade three hospitals! (TN: the hospitals in China are categorized into three grades, with grade three being the top level; https://.jianshu/p/322c2df5f1d8) Of course, staying here required lots of money. The ordinary rooms were already freaking expensive, what more the VIP intensive care unit that Yan Mei was upying? Mu Chenyan followed Yuan Xuans instruction and made her way to her mothers room. The woman who was once so elegant and distinguished now had tubes inserted all over her body and was lying on the bedpletely motionless. Mu Chenyan merely took a peek through the window in the door, and her legs instantly became heavy, as if they were filled with lead. She could not get herself to take another step! When she was little, her mother had been very good to her. The quiet and graceful temperament of Mu Chenyan had beenpletely cultivated by her mother. Mu Chenyan did not expect to see the day when this graceful woman, who had been well-versed in poetry, literature, and rites and was always fastidious about everything, would beying naked without an ounce of dignity as she relied on stic tubes to preserve her life. Mu Chenyan had not shed any tears in front of Mu Fengs gravestone, but she could not hold them back right now. She mped her hand over her mouth and wept quietly as tears flowed through her fingers. She did not dare to weep out loud, but was struggling to keep herself sane. All the repression from her time in prison had caused her to develop the habit of crying with her mouth covered. Maybe it was because she had stood at the door for quite some time and was suppressing her crying so that her shoulders were shaking that she attracted the nurses attention! Miss, whats your rtionship with Madam Yan? The young nurse was holding a book, and she looked like she wanted to keep a record of the visitors. Mu Chenyan hurriedly wiped away her tears, and her voice was slightly hoarse. Im her distant niece! She did not mention that she was Yan Meis daughter because there were too many versions of the story regarding the sensational marriage and murder from two years ago. Moreover, it seemed that her mother was well-taken care of, and she did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Madam Yans recovering rather well! When she first came in, she needed to be kept on the venttor 24/7. Now, although shes still in aa, the doctor says that she had already be self-aware and that her vital signs are rtively stable. If she gets better, she might wake up very soon... The young nurse was probably trying tofort this sad distant niece, so she said a lot of positive things. Does anyone usuallye to visit her? Mu Chenyan knew that she still had an uncle from her grandmothers side of the family. She had not been able to apany her mother for the past two years, so she had was hoping that her mother had not been leftpletely alone. During the first 6 months of her admission, I heard that someone from the Yan Family in Jiangling hade visiting, but not in the past year and a half. Mu Chenyans heart sank. In prison, she had heard that the Yan Family was making an inventory of the Mu Familys remaining property in the first few months following the tragedy. What the young nurse was probably referring to this matter. s, this was merely the way of the world. Oh, Mr Yuan would alsoe by asionally! When the young nurse mentioned Yuan Xuan, her cheeks blushed, presumably because she had note across many of these outstanding men before. It was inevitable that she had developed a special kind of sentiment toward him. Mu Chenyan was well-aware that Yuan Xuans dazzling charm was irresistible to the eyes of many women! Was not she herself not the same in the past? Now, she was able to share her nights with this man. Yet, as she watched her mother in this state, she was unable to fathom even one-tenth of the sentiments she used to have for Yuan Xuan. After hearing that Yuan Xuan woulde to visit her mother often, Mu Chenyan smirked. How ironic. Alright, I got it. Thank you very much for your attentive care. Ill being over more often in the future. As Mu Chenyan spoke, she prepared to leave. The young nurse saw that she was about to go and muttered, Last month, a man came to see Madam Yan in the middle of the night. As Mr. Yuan had instructed that everyone whoes to visit register themselves, Sister Xiao Mei came by and asked him to register his details. However, he was very resistant and even hurt Sister Xiao Mei... Mu Chenyan immediately tensed up. A mysterious man? What did he look like? Mu Chenyan asked in a low voice. At that time, Sister Xiao Mei was the one who was on duty. She said that it was a tall young man. He was stout and well dressed but was wearing a mask and a cap. Before she had a good look of him, she was pushed away and knocked her head! Chapter 37 - Im Bait

Chapter 37: Im Bait

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt that this matter was too strange. If this man was someone from her uncles side, then there was no need to be this mysterious, going so far as to even hurt a nurse! Is Yuan Xuan aware of this? Mu Chenyan asked while narrowing her eyes. We didnt dare tell Mr. Yuan! Because before that, Mr. Yuan had arranged for a few groups of people to take turns to keep watch, but the people on shift were absent right before it happened, and they handed over the responsibility to the hospital. Who would have thought that something like this would happen so quickly? Thus, the hospital made sure not to let Mr Yuan know. The young nurses voice was getting softer and softer as she remembered the arrangement of the former head nurse. Seeing that youre Madam Yans family, I feel obliged to tell you... The young nurse was beginning to panic due to her disclosing this supposedly ssified information, and she quickly exined. Dont worry, I wont tell anyone. Mu Chenyan gentlyforted her. Mu Chenyan had a gut feeling that the man who did not want to reveal his face was probably her brother, Mu Chenwu! Mu Chenwu had been missing for two years, and no one knew about his whereabouts. Their mother was in the hospital in critical condition, and his sister was trapped in prison, unable to attend to her. Therefore, it was only right that Mu Chenwu, the only son, check on his mother! Nheless, why did he not openly reveal his face, instead choosing to sneak into the hospital in the middle of the night? Mu Feng had died, and thepany had gone bankrupt and had already been liquidated. Even if the court pursued the matter, Mu Feng was still listed as the legal representative of thepany. The contents of the reports were also all tied to Mu Feng, so there was no need for Mu Chenwu to hide. Mu Chenyan could not imagine who else, besides Yuan Xuan, could cause her brother to cower in fear like this. Furthermore, Mu Chenyan could notprehend why Yuan Xuan was still grabbing a hold of the Mu Family, unwilling to let them go. Was it merely because of Shu Qingers death? If that was the case, then Yuan Xuan did not even need to let her out. Letting her suffer in prison would have been easier and crueler. Mu Chenyan suddenly realized that the entire matter was not as simple as she initially thought. There could be a secret part of the story that Mu Chenyan was not aware of! A chill ran down Mu Chenyans spine as it urred to her that it took just one month for her case to turn around. Wu Ze had suddenly told her that the probability of sess for her appeal was very high. At that time, Mu Chenyan did not have much hope. She did not expect for her case to be sessfully overturned in one month, after which, she was acquitted and released... Last month,st month, could it really just be a coincidence? Mu Chenyans mind was spinning... At this moment, a bold guess suddenly formed in her mind! Could it be that Yuan Xuan was secretly looking for Mu Chenwu, but after seeing his trail but failing to catch him, he let me out to act as bait? Mu Chenyan felt the temperature of her environment drop to zero when she thought of this. She thought back to the days following her return. Yuan Xuans tender and sweet love toward her was something she had sought but had never acquired. Aftering out from that hell, Yuan Xuan had never once brought up Shu Qinger, instead, uncharacteristically ignoring the estrangement between the two whilst acting as though he was lusting for her. Could it be all be an act to pursue his hidden goal? However, even though Mu Chenyan had been filled with hatred, she was not willing to believe that Yuan Xuans affection toward her was fake... Her heart ached as if all her life force had been sucked out, and Mu Chenyan instantly felt like the room was spinning. She leaned against the wall of the hospital corridor as her lips turned blue. The young nurse thought that she was feeling cold and so helped her to a seat. Miss, are you alright? Mu Chenyan waved her hand and spoke softly, You can go back to your work. Ill be fine after resting for a bit! After the young nurse left, Mu Chenyan quietly went through the recent events. The more she thought about it, the more realistic her guess seemed! She even discovered something she had thought that her heart was dead, like stagnant water, but whenever a matter involving Yuan Xuan arose, she would just have to involve herself in it. Chapter 38 - Its All in the Hands of Yuan Xuan

Chapter 38: Its All in the Hands of Yuan Xuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The maid came over to help Mu Chenyan park the car after she dragged her tired body back to the Yuan Family Mansion. When Ah Fu saw that Mu Chenyan had returned, she happily greeted her and softly said, Young Mistress, youre finally back. Just now, Young Master had people bring over several pretty gowns for you to try on after youve rested! Chenyan nced across the sofa in the living room and saw a few gift boxes on it. Their packaging was exquisite, and one could only imagine how luxurious their contents would be. Mu Chenyans response was much dull, in a sharp contrast to Ah Fus excitement. Alright, but Ill take a bath before trying them out. ... Whilst Mu Chenyan took a bath, Ah Fu moved all the boxes of gowns to the bedroom on the second floor. After her bath, her body exuded a faint floral fragrance. Mu Chenyan used a towel to gently wipe her ck long hair and then conveniently hung the used towel on a hanger. Ah Fu aligned the gift boxes in a row and opened the covers. In them were neatly folded gowns, their colors and style all customized in ordance with thestest fashion. Crystal beads and diamonds sparkled along the intricate hand-woven grains. The Yuan Familys personalized items were given great attention detail and were never half-heartedly done. She had been out of prison for less than a week, so these gowns had not been recently acquired. It was very likely that Yuan Xuan had ordered them for her a long time ago. Even the timing of her release from prison matched the timing of the orderpletion. No one would believe him if he imed that he didnt haveplete control over the matter! Mu Chenyan did not dare to ponder any more. She was afraid of the fact that she could be living at the mercy of this powerful man. Everything rested in the palm of Yuan Xuans hand; she was merely a pawn in his game of chess... Her ten fingers tightly sped the edge of the gown as her palms became sweaty. The feeling of uneasiness caused Mu Chenyans hands to quiver slightly. Apart from her being wrongly used of murdering Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart, what other ties were there between the Mu Family and Yuan Xuan that she was not aware of? Mu Chenwu was the only loved one she could depend on, so she would not allow any harm to befall him! If Yuan Xuans purpose of letting her out was to lure Mu Chenwu out from hiding, then Mu Chenwus safety would be her primary concern. Mu Chenyan stared vacantly at a gown. Ah Fu, who was by her side, could notprehend the situation, so she poke up in a hushed tone, Young Mistress, Young Master says to put aside whatever pieces that do not fit you after youve tried them on. Someone from Miss Susies side wille over to re-measure and make alterations... Mu Chenyan snapped back to reality. She picked a champagne-colored chiffon gown from the set in front of her. It had a heart-shaped neckline with a draping shoulder design, making it look neither too revealing nor too conservative. At the end of the day, this was a banquet prepared by Old Mistress Yuan, and in the Yuans familys traditional sense, a rtivelyrge party, so she did not want to be ostentatious! The old her with the bright personality and bold character would not understand why she needed low-key when attending such a banquet. After all, wherever she went, she made sure to be the dazzling pearl! However, the current her did not want to be in the limelight anymore. It was not that she was inferior, but that her personality had changed! She would not acknowledge her identity as the Yuan Familys granddaughter-inw before her rtionship with Yuan Xuan is made clear. After all, the wedding had not sessfully beenpleted. Perhaps Yuan Xuan shared the same sentiment, which was why he promised to re-hold a wedding. ... Every gown had a specific set of jewelry to match. The champagne colored dress when paired together with pink diamonds was absolutely lovely! Yuan Xuan probably thought of this too. The set of pink jewelry, whichprised of a ne, a bracelet, a ring, and a pair of earrings, was delicately crafted and looked stunning. It was the most eye-catching of all the sets avable. Mu Chenyans fingers skimmed across the surface of the jewelry box before she hesitated. With a twinkle in her eyes, Ah Fu, who was by her side,mented softly, Young Master really knows you well. Before he left, he had said that if you chose this champagne-colored set and couple with the pink diamond, then you are sure to be the gem of the room C even if you dont want to be! As soon as Mu Chenyan heard this, her fingers moved away from the pink diamond. She pointed at the pearl box set next to it and said in a low voice, Take out the earrings and the headdress. You can put away the others. Ah Fu was puzzled. To her, it seemed that the young mistress fancied the pink diamond set, but after she heard the words of the young master, she insisted on choosing the pearl... Chapter 39 - The Tigers Not Home

Chapter 39: The Tigers Not Home

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In truth, even Ah Fu could see that amongst the selection of jewelry, the pearls were undoubtedly the most inconspicuous of the bunch. Moreover, Mu Chenyan did not put on theplete set, only the earrings and headdress! Generally, when women wear pearls, they would look older. Thus, only certain women were able to make this kind of jewelry look good. However, if the wearer was ideal for it, then even though it was rtively cheap, it could fit a variety of looks. Yuan Xuan seemed to be very confident in Mu Chenyans ability to pull off looks, which was why this set of pearl essories were included as a possible option. In the dressing room, Mu Chenyan casuallybed her hair to one side and inserted a dainty pearl hairpin in it. It paired well with her ck hair and looked absolutely exquisite. The champagne-colored gown perfectly disyed Mu Chenyans slim waist. Her swan-like neck was lean and slender whilst her fair skin was delicate, without any traces of loose skin. As she came out from the dressing room, her figure when couple with a cold temperament, caused Ah Fu to gape in amazement! Pretty? How rare it was for Mu Chenyan to reveal a smile. She spun around to give Ah Fu a look. Talk about the ability to look good in a gown! The title she once held of being Luo Hai Citys number one socialite back in the day was certainly not undeserved! Ah Fus face flushed red with excitement as she nodded furiously. Young Mistress, you look so pretty... as if youd juste out of a painting... Oh my, be careful, Ah Fu is two-faced. Previously shed told me that I looked like I had just walked out from a painting too! As Ah Fu was in the midst of praising Mu Chenyan, Yuan Tians clean and crisp voice came from outside, interrupting them with his pleasant voice. Mu Chenyan lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile. It seemed that Ah Fu had run out of words to say. Yuan Tians ponytail swayed about as her yful smile appeared at the door. Herrge ck eyes narrowed as she locked onto Mu Chenyan. How gorgeous indeed! Its a pity that Im not a man, otherwise Id definitelypete with my brother to win the heart of this beauty. Mu Chenyan reached out and pulled Yuan Tian in. The two sisters fondly held hands, and Mu Chenyan said while smiling, Arent you terrified of your brother? Do you really dare snatch his woman? Yuan Tian stuck her tongue out and nced around. Then, she grinned and said, When the tigers not home, the monkeys the king. Yet, here you are exposing me. When the tigers at home, its backside is not to be touched (TN: this is a y with the Chinese idiom, which actually refers to a person whos not to be provoked)! Yuan Tians smirking face was very adorable. Girls of a noble family normally would not arbitrarily use rude words like backside. Ah Fu was amused by the Fifth Miss words. She grinned and remarked in a silly tone, Both of you are equally pretty C its as if the two of you had just walked out from the same painting. What a pity Im not the emperor, otherwise, Ill bring you both into my harem! The Yuan Familys house rules were very strict. Apart from Ah Fu, probably no one else would dare utter such a crass joke. Yuan Tian, on the other hand, obviously did not care much about the rtionship between a master and a servant, which was why Ah Fu dared to be this wanton! The carefree Tian Tian was still the same as she was back in the day, and Mu Chenyan quietly sighed to herself. Yuan Tian walked toward them and looked at the row of gowns and jewelry box set up on the huge bed. She turned back to look at Mu Chenyan, then stroked her chin and thought for a bit before smiling and saying, Why choose such a low-key gown? In my opinion, this magenta-colored piece suits you the best. Your skin is fare, which will make this design absolutely captivating! As she spoke, she took out a magenta-colored gown from a box and sized it up against Mu Chenyan. This gown had a shoulder-sling design, and only those with a slim waist could pull it off. The wide mermaid skirt coupled with high-heels would ignite ones imagination. It would look absolutely enchanting on the right person. If matched with that set of white diamond ne and headdress... tsk tsk, phenomenal! Yuan Tian still loved the Mu Chenyan from back then, full of confidence and magnanimous. In doing so, she had inadvertently be the target of emtions by the various youngdies from other noble families. Mu Chenyan looked at that mboyant color and shook her head before letting out a sigh. My dad had passed less than three years ago. Its better to avoid wearing bright red for now... Chapter 40 - Yuan Xuan Was Clearly Doting on Mu Chenyan

Chapter 40: Yuan Xuan Was Clearly Doting on Mu Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After saying this, Mu Chenyan went to the dressing room. The dress was perfect and there was no need for alterations. She promptly took it back off. Yuan Tian clearly did not think of this. After hearing Mu Chenyans words, she began to feel awkward. She recalled the death of Uncle Mu Feng and of Aunt Yan Mei was still lying in the hospital. Slowly, she too began to inwardly me Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan came out and passed the gown to Ah Fu who lowered her head and put it away. After this, the two sisters went to the little garden on the third floor. Yuan Xuan had people moved a set of tea table there after seeing that Mu Chenyan loved to spend her time there. Amid the flowers and nts was ten square meters of open space. A tea table and chair were ced there, with a bamboo-woven umbre looming over them. Mu Chenyan was wearing arge white velvet sweater coat as sheid on the chair, looking just like a carefree cat. Yuan Xuans dominance in the Yuan Family was unrivaled, so even though they were siblings, Yuan Tian had practically no chance ofing up this small building! However, even Yuan Tian began to grow suspicious upon seeing Mu Chenyan, who such a stunning beauty, leisurely lying in the midst of the flowers and nts, . Yuan Xuan was clearly pampering Mu Chenyan, so how could there be bad blood between the two... Nevertheless, this question could not be brought up as the rtionship between them was extremely delicate. While in front of Yuan Tian, Mu Chenyan carried no burden at all. She poured a cup of tea for Yuan Tian before speaking up, About the banquet in a few days time... do you think youre going to attend? The reason why Mu Chenyan popped this question was that in the past Yuan Tian would often abstain from attending banquets and events. The Yuan Familys Old Mistress preferred males over females, and Yuan Tians carefree character did not please her as much as Yuan Rans gentleness. Add this to the fact that her parent, Yuan Tangshuo, was deeply immersed in the medical field, and it was evident that Yuan Tians upbringing was somewhatcking for a noble. Hence, Yuan Tian was unable to learn much of the mannerisms befitting of ady of a noble family. This was partially the reason why she was envious of Mu Chenyan! Chenyan, in regards to this area, could navigate these affairs with ease as she was fluent with words and excelled at handling social events. Her mind was quiet like a maiden at rest, but her words were agile like a fleeting hare! When she was at peace, every single gesture of hers was exceptionally graceful. In private, however, she was exuberant and buoyant, without showing any traces of her socialite background. Im most likely unable to attend. You know, my education is basically taken care of by my dad, and he wants to bring me to a conference during the holiday. When ites to work, those old geezers dont really care whether or not its a national holiday... Yuan Tian did not go through any formal university education. In this regard, Mu Chenyan was rather envious of her! She had been shadowing her father ever since she hadpleted her high school education. Other students in medical school learned much theory but had less practical training. Yuan Tian, on the other hand, was trained purely through first-hand experience. Various major and minor surgeries; theory and practical work; she had well-versed in them all! She even often attended academic conferences of any scale in the country as well as overseas alongside her parents. Hence, the skills which she had developed from this elite gueri squad, were much more superior than those of regr surgeons who had simply studied for five or eight years. The reason for this was that Yuan Tangshuo had hoped for her to gain a few years of practical training before sending her overseas to further her studies. When Mu Chenyan heard that Yuan Tian would be leaving, she became somewhat downhearted. The only person whom she could connect well within the Yuan Family would soon be unable to apany her, and a rare sense of loneliness bubbled up in her heart. Mu Chenyan had not experienced this kind of feeling in a long time. More often than not, she enjoyed solitude! It seemed that her heart was really not as dead as she thought. Her heart had once been very vibrant, and if she had not gone through those two years of torment, then perhaps she would still be fine right now. Yuan Tian noticed that Mu Chenyan was feeling a little dejected, so sheforted her in a soft voice. Even though I cant make it, Sister-inw Wen Ya will be there for sure! Chapter 41 - My Entire Brain Is Only Filled With You, Alright?

Chapter 41: My Entire Brain Is Only Filled With You, Alright?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan recalled that Wen Ya had gotten married to Yuan Zhe, the Yuan Familys second son, almost four years ago. If that incident had not happened, then she and Wen Ya would have spent two years together as sisters-inw. Back then, Wen Ya had outshone the other youngdies of the aristocratic families. Not to mention, while studying abroad, Wen Ya had been one of Mu Chenyans few friends! Shortly after returning home, Wen Ya had suddenly announced that she would be marrying the Yuan Familys second son, Yuan Zhe. Mu Chenyan had struggled toprehend this for the longest time. In terms of talent, Wen Ya was no less brilliant than her. Yuan Zhe, on the other hand, was slick and sly, and had a violent temperament, so she could not understand why Wen Ya would choose such a partner! Although Yuan Tian could not apany her, having Wen Ya aspany would be nice too. After all, they had once been close to each other, its just that Wen Ya had been keeping her distance ever since she had gotten married. She had been back for some time now, but was often cooped up at home, so there were hardly any opportunities for them to catch up. Thus, it seemed that the banquet would be a perfect opportunity! ... When Yuan Xuan came home, he did not see Mu Chenyan on the first and second floor. Ah Fu approached him and reported that Fifth Miss hade by in the afternoon and had already left, but Young Mistress had note down from the third floor since then. Yuan Xuan did not bother to change his clothes and hurriedly went upstairs to see his woman. Mu Chenyan was hugging a French version of the novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, and lying on a rattan chair. She was wrapped in a long velvet nket and had fallen asleep! Yuan Xuan retrieved the book from her arms as a smile shed through his eyes. Mu Chenyans status as a socialite did not rely solely on her beautiful appearance. While studying abroad in the university in the UK, Mu Chenyans excellent spoken English had ced her in the limelight amongst the circle of Chinese students in the university. Mu Chenyans figure could always be spotted in various public speakingpetitions held throughout the semester. Yan Mei herself liked French movies and the romance of the country, so Mu Chenyan had no doubt been influenced by her mother since young and had thus learned to speak fluent French! She even considered learning French as her secondnguage one of her hobbies. Mu Chenyan had read many French novels. Because of this, she had started a book club in her faculty, in which the dean of Mu Chenyans faculty frequently participated... It looked like she was still the same as before, making sure to maintain the habit of reading original French pieces. In Yuan Xuans eyes, she still looked like the old Mu Chenyan who had constantly carried a book as she tailed him around, chattering non-stop as she did so! ... Brother Xuan, dont you think that if Hamlet had not chosen revenge, hed have lead a better life... Mu Chenyans brain back then was filled with peculiar ideas. After finished reading a book, she would always try to modify it and view things from her own perspective. I dont think so. Yuan Xuans expression would be indifferent as he could not really be bothered about her opinions. Time was very valuable to him during his university days as he was simultaneously juggling his MBA as well as a BSc in Geology. At the time, Yuan Xuan had made ns to venture into energy development after he returned home. If Hamlet didnt take revenge, then Shakespeare would have been forced to write about something else. What is he supposed to write about, a love story? Yuan Xuan did not know what this womans problem was. Was her brain just wired differently from others? When Mu Chenyan heard his response, she nodded excitedly, grinning and closing in on him until the eyshes nestled above her big eyes were almost touching Yuan Xuans face. You dont say! Brother Xuan, thats not a bad idea! I would fervently support him if Shakespeare were to write about romance! Who says that romance-themed novels cant be famous? Isnt Dream of the Red Chamber and Romance of the Western Chamber about passionate love? Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a ssic, but a majority of male readers also talk about the love between Diao Chan and Lu Bu! Not to mention, Cao Cao liked to steal other peoples lovers, for instance, the peerless beauties, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiaos sisters... Even Journey to the West had the queen of the Ladies Kingdom falling in love with Tang Seng, whereas Zhu Bajie wanted to marry into Old Gaos household... Your brain is totally filled with messed-up love stories! Yuan Xuans handsome face gave her a snort of disapproval as he shook his head. After hearing this, Mu Chenyans lips twitched and her tiny face began to pout. Since when has my brain been messed-up? After all, its only filled with thoughts of you... Yuan Xuan had no reply. Chapter 42 - Thinking of a divorce? Forget about it!

Chapter 42: Thinking of a divorce? Forget about it!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan could not help but chuckle as he reminisced about the past. His slightly knitted brows disyed feelings of tenderness as he reached out to brush away the messy hairs on her forehead. During the day, Mu Chenyan slept very lightly. Whenever she heard noises, her eyes would spring open. However, this time, she was greeted with Yuan Xuans dark pupils. The deeply affectionate man could not hide his affection and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Were there any gowns that you liked? After the two breathlessly let go of each other, Yuan Xuan leaned his forehead against hers and asked softly. Ive chosen the champagne-colored gown. Mu Chenyan turned sideways and picked up her phone from the table before turning it on. In it were some pictures of her taken by Yuan Tian. Yuan Tian looked at the gorgeous woman in the pictures and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile. Everything really does look good on you. Im sure youll be the one all the youngdies of the aristocratic families try to emte. Yuan Xuan did not hesitate to give herpliments, something that he almost never did in the past. Back in those days, Yuan Xuan seemed oblivious to her beauty. At the time, Mu Chenyan genuinely felt that the only beauty in Yuan Xuans eyes was Shu Qinger... Even on the eve of their wedding day, the interaction between the two was never as intimate as today! Mu Chenyan was startled. She thought back to her spection in the hospital today and her heart became uneasy. Now that she thought of it, she did not even know what was the reason why Yuan Xuan had gone to the Mu Family to ask for her hand! At that time, she was on cloud nine and just thought that all her hard work and sincerity had finally paid off. Nevertheless, Yuan Xuan had a meticulous mind and was always well-prepared and crafty. He had always been extremely orderly in everything he did. Living amongst the aristocratic families and standing above all the other powerhouses in Luo Hai whilst relying on the deeds and riches of his father was never going to be enough. Yuan Xuan always had a motive in whatever he did. In the earlier years, the other aristocratic families who hadpeted with Yuan Family were rich in heritage, but they nheless ended up being crushed by the Yuan Family in a startling disy of Yuan Xuans abilities. The Mu Family at the time held a prominent position in Luo Hai. Due to the deep ties between the parents generation, the Yuan Family and Mu Family came together in marriage and joined forces. This win-win coboration was well-received by the public. Needless to say, the following course of events was truly unexpected. The Yuan Family had suddenly dealt a fatal blow and crushed the Mu Family. Looking back on it now, that marriage seemed like a joke! Mu Chenyan had nothing left, and now that Yuan Xuan was being this affectionate, Mu Chenyan was finding it harder and harder to understand him. All these sudden changes in his character must have a cause that she was oblivious to! Moreover, the only person who could exin all this to her was Yuan Xuan himself. Yuan Xuan, could you tell me... the reason why youre being so nice to me... Its because youre my wife! Yuan Xuan interrupted Mu Chenyan and pulled her up from the chair into his embrace. Is Mrs. Yuan satisfied with my answer? Then, what about the reason behind you making me Mrs. Yuan? Mu Chenyan could not help but prod deeper. Didnt you spend more than ten years of your life pursuing me? The handsome man smiled sinisterly. There was nothing more Mu Chenyan could say. She had pursued him for more than ten years, and that was the truth. Yuan Xuans charm was already lethal enough, but with them being this intimate, Mu Chenyan was unable to hold out any longer. She wanted to break free of his restraint and struggled a little to no avail. Im not sure anymore... Thinking of a divorce? Forget about it! Yuan Xuan immediately stopped her from finishing her sentence! He reached out and lifted her pointy chin, his rough thumb caressing her pink lips. If you ever bring up this matter again, Ill make sure youll be unable to get out of bed C and thats a promise! His warm breath tickled her eardrums, sending waves of delight through her body... Mu Chenyan looked up and felt like his dark figure seemed much taller and straighter in thete autumn evening. This exaggerated figure exuded a powerful aura that made her feel much smaller than usual. Who knew that what awaited her after uttering those words would be his aggressive advances! Mu Chenyans body stiffened, and the little pride and courage that she hadpletely copsed under the lustful gaze of his onyx eyes. Im... Im just casually... asking... The woman dismissed her previous bravado for the first time since her return and replied in a low voice. This delicate and submissive attitude caused Yuan Xuan to be in a great mood. Deep in herself still existed the old Mu Chenyan! Chapter 44 - Showing The Unassuming Is the Current Mainstream

Chapter 44: Showing The Unassuming Is the Current Mainstream

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya had clearly spotted Mu Chenyan, but because she was busy greeting the newly-arrived guests, she could only politely wave her hand as she shed a warm and pleasant smile. Mu Chenyan waved back. Sister-inw, you continue handling your business. Ill talk to youter! The Yuan Family really did ce great emphasis on seniority. Even though Yuan Xuan was the son of Eldest Son, he was born to Yuan Tangbai at an old age and was younger than Yuan Zhe and Yuan Zhuan, which was why he was referred to as Third Young Master. Hence, Yuan Zhe would always be at the front during moments like these where they had to greet the guests. Wen Ya, as the wife of the Yuan Familys grandchild, was looking very elegant and generous at the moment. However, many of the guests here were influential people in themercial field whilst others were outstanding young officers in the military, and they had alle for Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan, being Yuan Xuans wife, should have been more active. However, she refrained from identifying herself as Mrs Yuan. Furthermore, her main purpose today was to make contact with Old Mistress Yuan, so Mu Chenyan naturally chose to remain low-key until then. She took a ss of champagne and kept out of sight, choosing to wait quietly by the side, watching the people moving about in the hall as they greeted and toasted with one another. She was no foreigner to these festivities. In the past, the Mu Family was also well-known throughout Luo Hai, and the essential meetings between the upper ss via cocktail parties were likewise regrly hosted by her parents. Hence, nothing here had any novel value to Mu Chenyan. She was unbothered as she quietly sat by the side, trying to fade into the shadows until she was needed. There were also sub-groups within the socialite circle whereby the beauties gathered in groups of two or three and conversed softly. Nevertheless, Mu Chenyan was unable to join in any of these groups. She had been gone for too long! Thankfully, the current her rather enjoyed solitude. This was to the extent that in prison, she actually liked being sent to the small dark room. This was because she would be the only one around. There was no need for her to talk to others, and she would not get beaten up... A faint light would creep in through the window from morning till sunset, and an even fainter light from dusk till dawn. This was how she had grown to appreciate the rare moments of loneliness she had experienced over the past 20 something years! ... Mu Chenyan did not see Yuan Xuan and figured that he was probably apanying the Old Mistress in the back. At this moment, there was a smallmotion in the crowd. Mu Chenyan looked up and saw a few people trailing behind a middle-aged man as they all strode into the hall. Yuan Tangbai was not around anymore, and the third son, Yuan Tangshuo, was an academic expert who was not interested in military and political affairs. Therefore, the Yuan Familys political position was naturally handled by Yuan Tangzhong! Yuan Tangzhong was fifty-something by now, but was still full of energy. His wise and refined demeanor was not like that of the big shots in the military and politics. Perhaps those holding higher positions naturally learned how to conceal their sharp intellect. Even celebrities were beginning to go onto reality shows to expose their own private lives. Shaking off the glitz-and-mor and showing their unassuming sides was the current mainstream! After Yuan Tangzhong made some brief exchanges with the people in the hall, he left for the VIP room in the back. Themotion in the hall quickly died down. A few young girls soon gathered together and began to gossip in a low voice. Even though they tried to keep it down, those who liked to gossip were never able to suppress their excitement, thus allowing Mu Chenyan to hear them clearly! Have you heard about the two most famous big shots in the Yuan Family? The uncle, Yuan Tangzhong, and the nephew, Yuan Xuan, are actually not on good terms! One girl said. Thats no secret. Everything seems to be calm on the surface, but they are actually fighting in the shadows! Another chipped in. That could well be the case. After all, the power that Yuan Xuans parent had gained was not handed over to Yuan Xuan, but was instead snatched away by his uncle. If it wasnt for Yuan Xuans terrific abilities, and his sess in taking an alternate path to building his own empire, who knows how terrible his life would have been now! What more, I hear that Yuan Xuan himself decided to give up his parents military merits? But even so, I feel that Yuan Xuan should still be the main authority in the Yuan Family. My father says that the Yuan Familys Old Mistress really likes Yuan Xuan and that the Old Mistress listens to whatever Yuan Xuan says. Even the Yuan Familys military and political powers bows to his will. After all, how could one acquire such a big deal in the national energy development project without connections? True. Some of Yuan Tangbais few remaining people are still in support of Eldest Sons orphan. Couple this with the old mistress favoritism toward him, and it wouldnt be a stretch to think that Yuan Tangzhong is dealing with a lot of pent-up frustration C even if he does always act calm! Chapter 45 - Unfortunately, Sometim

Chapter 45: Unfortunately, Sometimes the Other Party Is Destined To Be Your Enemy.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan knew a thing or two about the topic of their discussion. Back when she used to mingle around in the Yuan Family, she picked up on the surging undercurrent underneath the calm surface of the Yuan Family. In the early years, Yuan Xuan was still young. Add this to his many years studying abroad, and there were very little opportunities for the pair to meet, so their conflicts were not that apparent. However, after Yuan Xuan returned home, he boldly built his own enterprise. Only then did Yuan Tangzhong realize that this nephew of his was now ready to take on the world. The main problem with this was that Yuan Tangzhong himself was psychologically unstable! He might have held an impressive position in society, but until then, he had more or less rode on his deceased brothers coattails. Without Yuan Tangbais legacy in the military, his journey in politics would not have gone so smoothly. In other words, if Yuan Tangbai was still alive, then Yuan Tangzhong would be condemned to forever stay in the shadows. Yuan Xuan did not get to benefit from his fathers position but still managed to go down another route to eventual sess, thus leading the Yuan Family to greater heights. This proud young man was respectful when speaking to his uncle in person, but was, in fact, superior and very much aware of it, making Yuan Tangzhong feel rather embarrassed. Mu Feng and Yuan Tangzhong had a rtively close rtionship. By observing the interactions between her father and Yuan Tangzhong, she gradually learned of the dissatisfaction this uncle had toward his nephew. Nheless, household politics and business did not always exist in the same sphere. Hence, Yuan Xuan could be the ruler of his own world, while Yuan Tangzhong could prance around freely on his ownnd, neither intruding in each others space! In reality, the key to this temporary peace lied with the old mistress! The person who had the final say in the Yuan Family was obviously the queen bee. Old Mistress background as a mother was not to be underestimated, nor was Yuan Xuans mothers background. It was because of this maternal instinct that they were all on Yuan Xuans side. Even the direction of the gigantic ship that was the Yuan Family would sometimes depend solely on Yuan Xuans will. Hence, Yuan Tangzhong felt that he was under attack from all sides C he was powerless before this young man! Mu Chenyan did not initially take these things to heart, so she had never discussed said matters with Yuan Xuan. However, now that she and Yuan Xuan had be a couple and copted, Mu Chenyan grew suspicious. What role did her father, Mu Feng, y in this rtionship between uncle and nephew? In the early years, Mu Feng had followed Yuan Tangbai around to expand their territory. When they eventually returned to Luo Hai, Mu Feng had developed a close rtionship with Yuan Tangzhong. Hence, if Yuan Tangzhong was indeed not on good terms with Yuan Xuan, then what more his rtionship with Mu Feng? Mu Chenyans mind was racing with questions. As she was lost in thought, she identally tripped a woman who was passing by, causing her champagne to spill out and stain a corner of the womans gown. People were constantly moving about in the banquet, hence, slight collisions between participants were quitemon. Generally, the female socialites who attended these gatherings would always prepare two or three sets of clothes just in case. Mu Chenyan hurriedly apologized, Im so sorry. I didnt see you... The average person would understand that these things were bound to happen and just simply wave the other party away, ending the matter just like that. Unfortunately, sometimes, the other party is destined to be your enemy. Mu Chenyan? Why are you here? The womans high-pitched voice caused a few socialites to stop chattering and peer over. Why cant I be here? Chenyan got a clear look at the other party and saw that her face, which was as calm as water, was tinged red! The woman that she had collided into was her fathers business rival, the eldest daughter of the Feng Family, Feng Rao! Oh, it really is Mu Chenyan... the second mistress of the Yu Family, Yu Lingyun, chipped in. Why is she here? Wasnt she locked up in prison? Another woman standing by the side was the Zheng Familys eldest sons daughter-inw, Zhou Xianer. She arrogantly dusted her ck gown, as if afraid that Mu Chenyan would contaminate her. People gradually noticed Mu Chenyan the murderer, and their gaze began to shift to this side of the hall. Mu Chenyan had tried to remain low-key. She did not expect to garner this much attention so suddenly! Chapter 46 - Where Did This Courage Come From?

Chapter 46: Where Did This Courage Come From?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan knew that Feng Rao would not willingly allow her to back away quietly. The socialites hanging around the hall had by now already started to form cliques. They roped in people whom they could benefit from into their circles and formed an army of fake friends. Mu Chenyan normally flew under their radar because she was neither extremely close to anyone, nor was she so cold that she offended any side. However, she had forgotten that something called jealousy existed! Mu Chenyan was generally considered an extraordinary beauty who possessed exceptional character and morals. This girl who was blessed with both indisputable beauty and brains soon became the number one topic on everyones lips. Moreover, a rivalry between Feng Rao and Mu Chenyan quickly formed due to their fatherspeting with one another in business. However, this was not even the main reason behind their conflict. Rather, the main reason was that Shu Qinger had been best friends with Feng Rao! During the years that Mu Chenyan was pursuing Yuan Xuan, Feng Rao had resembled a loyal dog who was constantly by Shu Qingers side. When she returned from abroad, Shu Qinger had disappeared for a whole year. This was also the same year that Yuan Xuan asked for the Mu Familys blessing to marry her. Whenever Feng Rao henceforth bumped into Mu Chenyan, she would feel indignant on behalf of her best friend! At this moment, Feng Rao could not take Mu Chenyans calm indifference. You murderer, why have you shown your face? Does justice really exist? After all, you were released despite killing Qinger! Feng Raos emotions were going on overdrive. Her originally pretty little face was now bunched up due to rage, making her look rather hideous. To make matters worse, the formal attire that Mu Chenyan wore was apparently part of the same set as Feng Raos outfit. They were the same color, but with slightly different styles. Feng Rao had merely chosen a more revealing style that made her look bustier while Mu Chenyan chose an elegant off-shoulder design. However, the bustier dress that was supposed to be sexier had lost its effect when worn next to Mu Chenyan! After Mu Chenyan heard Feng Rao yell at her and call her a killer, she faintly smiled and quietly replied, The judge has already ruled me innocent so its not up to you to decide if Im a murderer. The women beside them looked as if they were watching a TV drama. Back then, when Mu Chenyan was infinitely impressive, their hearts had never felt anything for her but jealousy. Furthermore, the hearts of numerous socialites all over the city shattered after hearing the news that Mu Chenyan was nning to marry the Yuan Familys Third Young Master once again. If they had known earlier that a shameless woman like Mu Chenyan who constantly pestered a man could eventually be the Yuan Familys daughter-inw, then they would not have restrained themselves. They took pleasure in Mu Chenyans pain when she was imprisoned. When they ate additional bowls of white rice, only toter worry about sinfully gaining weight, they considered it a spit in the starving Mu Chenyans face... Feng Rao sneered. You still argued when they collected your blood samples at the scene that year... The blood sample couldve been artificially ced there! Thewyer had already stated this in court. Mu Chenyan was neither haughty nor shy. Her calm expression was as smooth as jade while her temperament was as cool as a spring breeze. Moreover, her indifferent appearance made Feng Raos heart rage even hotter! How could this woman still act so arrogantly after rotting in prison for two years anding out to discover that familys financial state had crumbled? Where did this couragee from? Shu Qinger was carrying Yuan Xuans flesh and blood in her womb that year. If were discussing timelines... Qinger and Yuan Xuan were childhood sweethearts, meaning that you were his mistress! Its a shame, you didnt seed in rising from your position as mistress because you were dragged away on your wedding day. Im afraid that means you cant be considered as the Yuan Familys daughter-inw either... Feng Rao yed her trump card! That six odd month male fetus... This matter was a splinter in Mu Chenyans heart... That child and Shu Qinger were buried in the Yuan Familys private cemetery, this much was undeniable. However, since the Yuan Family did not bring up this matter, Mu Chenyan had decided not to ask about it either. Furthermore, it wasmon for a man of Yuan Xuans status and position to have numerous concubines. Before their marriage, why would it matter if he had lived with his young mistress in an expensive house? The thing that bothered Mu Chenyan was the child! Chapter 47 - Would the Yuan Family Accept a Murder Suspect Like This?

Chapter 47: Would the Yuan Family ept a Murder Suspect Like This?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The rankings from the elder to the younger members of the Yuan Family were clear to see. Even if Yuan Xuans capabilities were superior, and despite the fact that the Old Mistress doted on him, he still needed to asionally bow his head to his elders. The people who came from the Capital City observed that certain matters like the inheritance of the elders status would still prioritize Yuan Zhe as he was the eldest amongst the children. If Yuan Xuan had impregnated Shu Qinger first andter taken the child back to the Yuan Family, then that childs ranking in the hierarchy would still be higher than Mu Chenyans childs, even if he was an illegitimate child... Thus, the city was awash with rumors that she had killed Shu Qinger after being ovee with jealousy! Mu Chenyan was not a person who fussed over rankings or money. She was only concerned with one thing: who was it that Yuan Xuan genuinely cared about? When this child was mentioned, Mu Chenyan felt as if her heart had been violently stabbed with a knife. Feng Rao, on the other hand, became pleased when she noticed that Mu Chenyans expression had changed. She smiled at the people around her and said, Even if you really did manage to free yourself from suspicion, what status do you hold that allows you to attend the Yuan Familys banquet here today? It was evident that not everybody was aware of the fact that she had already been released from prison. Moreover, they were even less aware of the fact that Yuan Xuan had taken her back to the Yuan Family Mansion and given her the status of the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family! Shes the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, of course shes allowed toe! Wen Ya suddenly appeared behind Mu Chenyan and said in an icy tone. The dignified and imposing Wen ya was actually the wife of the Yuan Familys eldest grandson. She gave off an impressive aura as she and stood behind Mu Chenyan before cing her hand on her shoulder and ring at Feng Rao. These two sisters-inw really made for a beautiful sight. Two of the four most beautiful socialites in the city had married into the Yuan Family. There was also Yuan Ran who was originally a member of the Yuan Family. In other words, there were so many beauties in the Yuan Family that outsiders would no doubt be filled with jealousy. Feng Rao was startled by Wen Yas words. She took a step backward and looked at Wen Ya in disbelief before stuttering, The Yuan Family... would ept a murder suspect like this? I told you that I didnt kill anyone. Miss Feng, since youre so insistent that Im guilty, the court dly wees you to provide them with new evidence if youd like! Mu Chenyan could endure others biting words, but she could not take the usation of being a murder suspect. However, her cool, pretty face did not carry any traces of maliciousness. On the contrary, her unwavering conviction resulted in a confident glow that seemed to subdue this venomous woman. It was hard to believe that her sharp-tongue did not deteriorate at all despite bitterly suffering for two years in prison. Although, she did be calmer and less prone toshing out... The youngdies beside her were used to seeing Mu Chenyans elegant side. However, upon just now seeing this womans lonely but unyielding side, their hearts were unconsciously filled with admiration. Wen Ya tightly grasped Mu Chenyans hand before the elegant woman stood beside her sister-inw and coolly smiled. Miss Feng, the Old Mistress invited everyone to gather here today to provide them with a tform to interact. At the same time, she had intended to use this event to formally introduce Third Young Masters wife who had just returned after oveing the injustices that weremitted against her. We do not have much patience for certain people who bring up domestic trivialities to fuel petty rivalries whenever they can! Mu Chenyan had never thought that Wen Ya would fervently back her up and even bring up the Old Mistress to support her. She cast a grateful look in Wen Yas direction. Sister Wen, I wasnt... Feng Rao became slightly anxious when she heard Wen Ya mention the Old Mistress. She started stammering an exnation, Its just that this woman made me think of Qinger! I only questioned her because my heart wasnt at peace... Miss Feng, Im Mu Chenyans attorney. If youre dissatisfied with the courts decision, then we can meet each other in front of the relevant authorities. I can sue you on behalf of my client for saying these defaming things here! A deep andmanding voice suddenly called out from behind the group of women, causing everyone to hurriedly clear a path. The moment Wu Zes tall form appeared, several suppressed screams could be heard from the youngdies of the noble families. Its the Second Young Master of the Wu Family! How handsome... As one of Luo Hais few highly eligible male bachelors, Wu Zes appearance quickly grabbed everyones attention. He easily and sessfully shifted their focus toward his attractive figure. His well-ironed upscale bespoke suit was appropriately elegant for the asion, which he coupled with a wine-red bow tie and a champagne-colored rose that was tucked into the front of his suit pocket! Chapter 48 - These Clothes Look Much Better On You Than a Prison Uniform

Chapter 48: These Clothes Look Much Better On You Than a Prison Uniform

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This man was eye-catching indeed! She wondered if Wu Zes attractiveness had helped him during his legendary journey as an undefeatable attorney. She imagined that it would be impossible for the opposing female attorneys not to swoon over Wu Zes seductive gaze and beautiful eyes. When Mu Chenyan saw that Wu Ze had alsoe to defend her, she could not help but smile at him. Wu Ze walked toward Mu Chenyans side and remained expressionless as he removed the champagne-colored rose from inside his suit pocket and quietly said, A fresh flower for a beautiful woman. Youve been released for some time now, but I havent had the time to send the Yuan Family a congrattory present. I hope youll settle with this symbolic gift for now. He could not have just borrowed this flower from someone inside the hall, it was clearly something that he had nned to bring beforehand. Mu Chenyan felt her heart faintly tremble as she took the flower and nodded. Thank you, Big Brother Wu. She referred to him as her brother because this man had genuinely helped and encouraged her over the past two years... Those two years had been the darkest and most helpless period of her life, but as her defense attorney, Wu Ze had always stayed by her side as a pir of support cum motivator. Wu Ze smiled lightly before raising his eyebrow and remarking, These clothes look much better on you than a prison uniform! When she heard Wu Zespliment, Mu Chenyans face instantly reddened. She had previously only met with Wu Ze when dressed in a standard prison uniform. She was fairly tall and possessed an extremely slim physique. Thus, she looked like an idiot who was wearing someone elses clothes whenever she wore the prison uniform that was 2 sizes toorge for her. Her heart was also constantly filled with despair at the time. When she recalled her sorry state, she became embarrassed. Wen Ya tugged at Mu Chenyans hand. She was very close to them so when she heard the two people talking in hushed tones, she was shocked! She thought of Wu Ze and recalled that there were indeed two male members of the Wu Family who did not want to take over the family business that had been primed for them. One of them had be a police officer C a senior inspector in the serious crime department, no less. He carried out his tasks regardless of the perils, which sometimes included facing torrents of heavy gunfire. The other one became an attorney who developed into a prominent figure in Luo Hais judiciary circle. When she heard that Mu Chenyans case had been handled by Wu Ze, she realized that the individual before her eyes had been fighting for Mu Chenyans innocence the entire time. Feng Rao was originally alreadycking in ss. However, after Wu Ze had appeared, she became even more flustered and did not know how to recover! Mu Chenyan never intended to take Feng Raos bait. However, she had provoked the other party through no fault of her own and caused such a disturbance. Everyone was crowding around them to watch the drama, but she knew that she absolutely could not embarrass herself by inciting an incident during the Yuan Familys banquet. She lowered her voice and said to Feng Rao, Miss Feng, I know that you and Shu Qinger were as close as sisters, so I can understand why youre upset at my presence. Nheless, Im not the killer, so please bear with me for now as Ill make sure that the real killer wont go unpunished. If you have a heart, then lets leave it at this for now, theres no need to cause any more of amotion. Mu Chenyans tone was t when she stated her own opinion. Nor did she bother mentioning that the other party was being irrational. Wu Ze attentively watched Mu Chenyan before a look of agreement appeared on his face. When Feng Rao heard Mu Chenyans side of the story, she noticed the genuine tone in her voice realized that she had merely wrongly used her. Her uneasy heart had caused her temper to re. Then, she nced at Wu Zes expression and looked back at Mu Chenyan before her eyes lit up. Suddenly, her lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, This Miss of the Mu Family is truly extraordinary. After spending a few days with her attorney, shes learned to be as eloquent as him! Youre privately exchanging amorous nces! Its really a shame as we all know the Yuan Family attaches the utmost importance to their hundred-year-old reputation. Third Young Master Yuan certainly wouldnt wish to see that hes been cheated on, right? After she said this, the hall became alive withmotion. Even Wen Yas hand that was holding on to Mu Chenyan trembled! Since Mu Chenyan was extremely beautiful, it would not be surprising at all if she had good results when it came to romance. However, the Yuan Family had strict rules, with some of these regtions so conservative that they caused outsiders hairs to stand on end... What kind of person was Yuan Xuan? Since he was an extremely obsessive person, would he not stir up a big fuss if he believed these statements? Chapter 49 - I Can Go About My Territory at Any Time

Chapter 49: I Can Go About My Territory at Any Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya did not dare ask too many questions, and she knew that showing solidarity with Mu Chenyan was the most important thing to do right now. Young Master Wu, you must charge by the hour when youre speaking on behalf of others. Defending someone against injustice in this manner is... Yu Lingyun was trying to act smart as shemented from the sidelines. Wow, Mu Chenyan couldnt have been fooling around with Young Master Wu to take revenge against Third Young Master Yuan forvishly living with his mistress, right? Zhou Xianer had already disliked Mu Chenyan since the start, but right now she was itching to spit some venom. Poor Young Master Wu. Whats so good about this woman that she managed to win over both Third Young Master Yuan and Wu Ze... The mistress of the Zheng Family could not help but say her thoughts too. These people were always like this: when they saw an opening, they would swiftly swoop in and attack from all directions. This group of people lived only to stir up trouble! The online equivalent for them would be the famous keyboard warriors or online trolls! They would only be satisfied once they sessfully spin lies twist truths. No one is truly able to control them. However, they needed to find a good excuse to do this so as to protect their statuses as young socialites of the aristocratic families. Hence, Feng Raos lead gave them the signal. Several male guests who were present watched the few women cause a scene while simultaneously passingments amongst one another. Despite this, Mu Chenyan only cared about Yuan Xuan. No matter how many young nobles salivated over her good looks, she would not even spare them a second nce. However, they had overheard themotion. Apparently, despite carrying the name of the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family, this woman still had an affair with her own attorney, the famous Young Master Wu. It seemed like they had just obtained some information that could be used against Mu Chenyan. Who knows, this piece of ckmail could be their way into her bedchamber! Mu Chenyan remained cold and unflinching as she initially did not n topletely fall out with Feng Rao. However, she had never imagined that this woman would go so far as to drag Yuan Xuans pride into this! She could endure numerous things, but even she had her limits! Miss Feng, I feel like everything youve said thus far is nothing more than nder. Mu Chenyans icy tone was extremely obvious. You im that Attorney Wu and I are fooling around, but Id like to know why you entered Lan Gui Garden with my brother Mu Chenwu despite currently having a marriage contract with Luo Hais Fang Family. Mu Chenyan remained calm as she dropped the bomb. Everyone immediately burst into an uproar. Lan Gui Garden was a famous private club in Luo Hai where the people would often y around and get high. Most people could not even imagine the types of services that were provided there, but they all knew what type of institute it was. In their pursuit of excitement, numerous young people would rush to Lan Gui Garden to engage in S&M, threesomes, swings, and even orgies... Apparently this youngdy who belonged to an aristocratic family was also secretly doing these unbing things. However, the most important point to note was that the Fang Family, whom Feng Rao had yet to marry into, would bear the enormous weight of her affair. The color instantly drained from Feng Raos face. How did Mu Chenyan know about what had happened between her and Mu Chenwu when it was done so secretively? Her hand trembled as she pointed at Mu Chenyan and loudly cursed, Slut, youre maliciously ndering my name! Ill make sure you shed tears one day, so dont be too arrogant. You may be standing here and speaking all fine and dandy today, but theres a possibility that theyll find new evidence tomorrow. Youre not in the clear yet! Feng Rao was driven into a corner. Her ferocious expression showed that she had lost all form of self-respect and integrity. Meanwhile, everybody else craned their necks to get a better view of the show! I think Miss Feng wants to taste prison food! Just as Feng Rao looked as though she was at her breaking point, ready to turn the civilized quarrel into an all-out cat fight, a powerful and deep male voice cut short everyones hopes. Yuan Xuan stood at the top of a flight of nearby stairs. His tall and straight figure coupled with his imposing manner made him seem like an unmovable mountain. His slender finger gently stroked the white jade ring on his thumb as he gazed in Mu Chenyan and Feng Raos direction with murderous intent. Who do you think you are to scold my woman as you please? As soon as the man uttered these words, all the guests felt a bone-rattling chill run down their spine. Chapter 50 - How Much Had He Overheard?

Chapter 50: How Much Had He Overheard?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As he looked down from on them, the stern mans handsome appearance and imposing aura instantly subdued all the other men who were present. Even Wu Ze was forced to admit that he could not rival Yuan Xuan when that brat acted so suavely. This man who seemed as though he had descended directly from heaven caused the women who were harboring sinister intentions to grit their teeth. How did Mu Chenyan win the heart of such an amazing man. Yuan Xuans voice was not loud, but it was sufficient enough to intimidate the guests. His question was directed at Feng Rao, but his gaze was fixed on Mu Chenyans face as he seemed to stare directly into her soul. Themanding air in his gaze was apparent. When she recalled that these were the same eyes that he had every night during his insatiable ravaging, Mu Chenyan shivered. How much had he overheard? This man could well be the reincarnation of a meticulous and tyrannical deity! Yuan Tian had recentlymented that if not for Mu Chenyan who had brought her to the third floor of the Hibiscus Garden, she could not have ever entered the area. If he looked after the flowers and nts in his garden so carefully, what more his own woman? Meanwhile, Feng Rao was trembling with fright! She had never expected Yuan Xuan to suddenly appear and back up Mu Chenyan. Thus, she nned her escape as Yuan Xuan gracefully strode toward Mu Chenyan. His strong and powerful arms wrapped around Mu Chenyans slim waist. His overbearing aura was so powerful that even Wu Ze who was standing by his side could not help but hold his breath. It was as if he was a supernova, ready to explode. Mu Chenyan was evidently scared. Her little face glowed red as she quietly said, This doesnt concern Wu Ze! Wu Ze is a real gentleman so dont listen to her nonsense... Dont defend other men. Or do you want me to reaffirm my position? Yuan Xuan spoke in a hushed tone such that hisment was only audible to the two of them. However, Mu Chenyan was not stupid and could tell that this man was issuing a warning. Mu Chenyan was so frightened that her body began to quake. Her little hand tightly grasped Yuan Xuans arm before she quietly pleaded, I know that you want to show your authority, but this isnt the time... Yuan Xuan sneered. His handsome appearance carried both angelic and devilish features confused the nearby onlookers. He lowered his voice and murmured into Mu Chenyans ears, I can go about my territory as I please! From an onlookers perspective, Third Young Master Yuan seemed to merely be behaving dubiously with his wife. Looks of admiration from the men and envious nces from the women filled the air as they stared at the couple... Mu Chenyans expression changed. Her pale fingers gingerly caressed the mans powerful arms before her voice quivered and said, I just ept it when other people bully me, but dont tell me that youre taking the opportunity to bully me as well... This puppy-dog acting was a special weapon of the old Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuans heart skipped a beat. This woman had been cold and devoid of warmth for so long. However, now that she was disying her feminine side and pretending to be weak, she truly resembled someone who was acting like a spoiled child. This was very much like the old Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan had truly been a unique character in the past. She could be simultaneously adorable and strong. When she was rational, she resembled a coldly efficient assassin or a strong and powerful congresswoman. Conversely, when she shamelessly acted like a pampered child, she could rely on her looks to win. Thus, she achieved numerous kills this way, winning over the hearts of countless men who coveted her! When he thought of how he dominated a woman like this every night, Yuan Xuans previously gloomy mood briefly took a turn for the better. Im the only one who can bully you. If anyone else dares to take advantage of you, I wont let them off easy. Suddenly, Yuan Xuans tone shifted back as his cold eyes ferociously red in Feng Raos direction. Yuan... Young Master Yuan... I didnt mean to... Feng Rao currently resembled a piece of roasted meat on a charcoal grill. The longer she stayed here bearing the heat, the more nervous she became! One could not tell from Yuan Xuans appearance that he was furious, but she was frozen with fear nheless! Chapter 51 - Mu Chenyan Had Subtly Defeated Her Opponent Without Violence

Chapter 51: Mu Chenyan Had Subtly Defeated Her Opponent Without Violence

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion His excellent upbringing and the solid self-restraint that he had learned from his family made it impossible for this man to lose himself in public even when he was furious. He still maintained his elegant posture and smile but his mysterious brilliance was merely the calm before the storm. When she saw Yuan Xuans demeanor, Feng Rao was already fatally regretting this. She should have retreated earlier after seeing the circumstances because she would really be damned if she provoked Yuan Xuan one step further. It is my pleasure to wee Miss Fengs presence at todays banquet. However, Miss Feng, you shouldnt forget that the Feng Family took a 1.2 billion loan from the bankst month to help your business turnover. Since the Yuan Family is acting as your guarantor, dont tell me that Miss Feng wants to repay us by ndering the Yuan Family? Yuan Xuan casually mentioned these things but his superficial yet magnificent voice had achieved tremendously frightening results! The extraordinarily farsighted and intelligent man was not only handsome to the point where he made people lose their senses, but his mind was also extremely sharp! Those who ate from his table, benefited from him, or requested for his favors, and even his absolutely irreconcble enemies were all engraved in his heart... The onlookers inhaled breaths of cold air! Were they actually so wealthy that they could easily be the guarantors for others to loan several billion, or did the Yuan Family own this bank? The Yuan Family who prevailed wherever they were controlled Country Zs resources. Since they were the primary lifeline of technology, they could act as tyrannically as they pleased. Feng Rao was so shocked she nearly sat on the floor. The Feng Familys financial crisis had only recently passed. She did not want to use her sharp tongue to defend a dead woman just to cut off the Feng Familys way out... She remembered Chen Gang and his wife who were recently transferred to Xi Zhou. It was rumored that it was the result of Li Lis foolish actions in the mall when she hit Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuan did not lift a finger and merely chased them back to the barren and deste Xi Zhou. However, that pale woman was severely beaten by Chen Gang... She thought of how Mu Chenyan did not even have to move an inch topletely destroy the nephew of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources. Why did she have to butt heads with this deity now? Oh, Chenyan, you saw that I merely drank too much champagne earlier before you spilled booze on my entire body. I was just saying a few things out of anger so you shouldnt take it to heart... Feng Raos manner changed too quickly. Before everyone could even keep up with her, she had already moved closer towards Mu Chenyans side and held her hand! Mu Chenyan remained calm and took a step back before faintly lowering her gaze. She quietly said, The matters with Mu Chenwu that I mentioned were merely absurd spections! The woman who was with my brother drove a bright yellow Ferrari and wore a dark purple wig. Her head and figure were merely slightly simr to Miss Feng. In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, I hope that everyone here will refrain from carelessly rushing over to inform the Fang Family. A bright yellow Ferrari? Mu Chenwu had specially traveled to France and sought someone to mix the colors and spray paint the car before he gave it to her as a present. Other than her, who else in Luo Hai drove such a uniquely colored car? Other than the members of the Mu Family, no one else knew of this matter so clearly. Feng Raos face flushed with fury but she did not dare to reply. The person who went to Lan Gui Garden was indeed her... If Mu Chenyan did not mention this point, perhaps everyone else had forgotten as well. Moreover, this affair could be considered aspletely devoid of evidence now that Mu Chenwu was missing. Nheless, as the involved partys sister, Mu Chenyan recalled the details of the incident with such detail that it was hard for anyone to not believe her. Now that she had even specifically told them not to inform the Fang Family, perhaps this marriage would end up beingpletely ruined nheless. Mu Chenyan had subtly defeated her opponent without violence. Everyone sneered when they understood the implicit meaning behind her words. Frankly, among the people who were here, it was not an earth-shattering secret to have fun at Lan Gui Garden. They even had a mutual understanding when they encountered each other there. Thus, Feng Rao had gotten herself into this current mess with Mu Chenyan while thetter remained unperturbed. Wu Ze fixed his gaze on Mu Chenyan. He had never imagined that the frail woman he knew actually had a fighting spirit that reached the heavens! Chapter 52 - Certain Aspects of Mu Chenyan Were Changing

Chapter 52: Certain Aspects of Mu Chenyan Were Changing

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze still remembered the thin frail woman who choked with sobs due to the injustices that she suffered when he first came into contact with Mu Chenyan. Wu Ze spent more than ten years being devoid of attachments. He was proudly aloof from material pursuits and did not even have an eye for most women. Additionally, since he had spent numerous years pursuing his education abroad, blond-haired and blue-eyed beauties were simply not his cup of tea. When he suddenly saw a beautiful and delicate woman like her now, something stirred at the bottom of his heart. However, he had yet to notice it at that time. While she was in the Detention Center, her inherent calm grace and her tenacious confident personality that she nurturedter allowed Mu Chenyan to constantly say, I never killed anyone! I cant spend even one day here... I want to meet Yuan Xuan but why doesnt hee to see me... There was no need for me to kill Shu Qinger. Previously, I never cared whether Yuan Xuan loved me or not. There was no corrtion between my love for him and whether or not he loved me! Since Yuan Xuan has already promised to marry me as of now, why would I need to kill someone? I have no motive to murder anyone! This woman had her own set of ideas when it came to her love. However, the outside world did not understand her and merely assumed that she was jealous? Deep in his heart, Wu Ze wanted to delve deeper into this woman. In the beginning, she had certain reservations towarding into contact with Wu Ze because the person she wanted to see was Yuan Xuan. However, Yuan Xuan was upied with more pressing matters at that time, matters that would even lead to Mu Chenyans struggle between her love and hatred for him in the future... Mu Chenyan had never imagined that Wu Ze would be the person whom she came into contact with most in the following two years. Wu Ze initially epted this case because of his personal friendship with Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan did not reveal his entire n so Wu Ze merely epted the payment and handled the tasks. He executed everything and did his work ording to Yuan Xuans intentions. However, once he came into contact with Mu Chenyan, he became attracted to this woman whom he had heard rumors about in the outside world for a long time. When he noticed that his intentions were no longer pure, the man with a meticulous state of mind then realized that it was already too hard for him to break away... The longer he spent with Mu Chenyan, the more he was controlled by her every move and the changes in her emotions. During his previous cases, Wu Ze was clearly aware of his position. However, it was different this time. Despite being an attorney who was supposedly required to be calm and rational, he started bing sentimental instead. There were even numerous times when he went to prison not to discuss the case with her but to simply chat with her like old friends. He checked if she had grown thinner or plumper and whether herplexion was pale... Since he knew that Yuan Xuan had already arranged for people to care for her so that she would not suffer, he showed his concern in other ways. He brought fruits and health supplements for her in hopes that they would sustain her, allowing her to remain rosy andfortable until she was released from prison. However, he had never imagined that the nourishments he brought had never entered this womans stomach. When he saw her gradually bing thinner and recalled that period of time when Mu Chenyan told him that her hair had started to shed because she was too stressed, his heart ached but he did not dare to mention it. However, he began to secretly waver as he thought of ways to cast off Yuan Xuan and truly help her get out. If Yuan Xuan insisted on having his own way, he could advise her to divorce him... After a period of time, however, he felt that his thoughts were shameful and unforgivable. Yuan Xuan did not want to punish her by forcing her to die here. Thus, she would be released sooner orter. If he destroyed this bnce, he would be undermining his friend! Mu Chenyans loving stance towards Yuan Xuan had never changed. Although her resentfulness asionally seeped through, the original intentions of her love had never changed. This was something that Wu Ze had acutely perceived. This young woman who dared to love and hate had always made her affections and hostility apparent. Thus, the event that happened today when she hid her sinister intentions behind a smile was something that this girl could never have done in the past... When he recalled Yuan Xuan telling him about Mu Chenyan being abused in prison, Wu Ze suddenly realized that certain aspects of Mu Chenyan were changing... Chapter 53 - An Adorable Appearance

Chapter 53: An Adorable Appearance

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan gazed at Mu Chenyan in an extremely affectionate manner! This girl still had this trick up her sleeve? Fortunately, the members of the Fang Family that they had invited today were unable to attend due to matters that cropped up at the eleventh hour. Otherwise, the current banquet would have already turned into a circus between the clowns of the Fang and Feng Family! Yuan Xuan briefly nced at Feng Rao who was already drenched in sweat and alcohol while her face was greatly displeased. He turned around and beckoned Yan Jun over. Yan Jun did not know how else his CEO was going to stir up trouble. Hepliantly approached him while secretly praying for the Feng Family in his heart. He hoped that Third Young Master Yuan would not think of any ideas and would simply move the entire Feng Family to Xi Zhou as well... Go back and immediately arrange to buy up all of Susies designs. Dont tell me that the gowns she designed should be worn by any tom, dick or harry? Everyone was momentarily stunned before they suddenly understood the source of Yuan Xuans irritation. The formal gowns that Feng Rao and Mu Chenyan wore were of the same series and color had greatly displeased Yuan Xuan. Everyone secretlyughed. As the Feng Family was also considered as a prominent aristocratic family, no one had expected that they would be reduced to a joke before Yuan Xuan. Feng Rao who was initially already in a sorry state could not even cry now. She furiously sat her backside on the floor while holding back tears... Mu Chenyan turned her head and gently leaned into Yuan Xuans embrace. Her tranquil and indifferent face did not disy the delight of taking revenge but the slightest trace of sympathy could not be seen there either. This woman acted as if she had nothing to do with this matter but actually felt that this conclusion was perfectly reasonable. On the side, Wu Ze gazed at the little face that could mesmerize all living beings before a faintly distressed feeling stirred in his heart... This was truly no longer the Mu Chenyan that he knew two years ago! When Wen Ya saw that Mu Chenyan had finally gained the upper hand, she gently breathed a sigh of relief. Since Yuan Xuan had juste down from the back hall upstairs, it was likely that Old Mistress would soon arrive as well. As the Shao Family from the capital had visited them today, Yuan Zhe was in the back hall with Yuan Tangzhong. Old Mistress was definitely being stalled by Shao Yibai. They quickly dispersed the crowd. Otherwise, if Old Mistress saw how the banquet had turned into a joke like this, her rage would be directed towards Mu Chenyan no matter who was at fault... Since Yuan Xuan was present, the others would not dare to y any other tricks. Thus, Wen Ya rxed and turned around to nce at the back hall. An extraordinarily handsome man was currently raising a wine ss. He leaned against the position where Yuan Xuan originally stood and looked down as if he was watching a good show! Shao Yibai calmly watched the entire course of events when Yuan Xuan was protecting his wife. The corners of his mouth turned upward before a hint of a smile appeared there. He never thought that a little brat like Yuan Xuan could be so fiercely protective of someone else. When Wen Ya saw that Shao Yibai had already walked out, she quickly reminded Yuan Xuan and said, Old Mistress will arrive soon so hurry up and get ready! Yuan Xuan knew that Wen Ya had already been a daughter-inw of the Yuan Family for many years. Amongst the daughters-inw, she was considered the one Old Mistress favored the most. This could be considered as one of her strengths! She was gentle and caring, good at understanding others, and could even read the mood from other peoples bodynguage. She reminded them that Old Mistress was about to arrive because she actually wanted to protect Mu Chenyan. Old Mistress Yuan was born in a distinguished family. During her youth, she had also experienced turbulent situations. Nheless, matters like these where people made fools out of themselves and undermined others were definitely something that she hated the most in her heart. Now that Old Mistress ranked at a high position, she was incredibly strict when it came to educating the younger generation. If she saw that her own family had caused such amotion now, her heart would definitely feel extremely troubled. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and whispered to the young woman in his embrace, Go to the washroom and fix your makeup. Grandmother should be here soon! Mu Chenyan obediently nodded but her adorable state did not hide her seriousness as she turned around and left. Yan Jun hurriedly lifted up the person on the floor and said, Miss Feng, are you going to leave on your own or do you want me to escort you instead? Chapter 54 - Time Was a Ruthless Knife

Chapter 54: Time Was a Ruthless Knife

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Feng Rao crawled up from the ground. When she looked at Mu Chenyans figure from the back, the onlookers could not see her resentful gaze but Wen Ya saw it in full view. After gently sighing, Wen Ya turned around and loudly said to the everyone, The banquet has already started. Old Mistress is resting in the back hall but shelle out and greet everyone soon. Everyone can just make themselves at home for now. Everyone quickly dispersed and formed small circles to discuss their favorite topics. Whereas Yuan Xuan walked towards Shao Yibai instead. When Yu Lingyun and Zhou Xianer saw how Yuan Xuan had made things difficult for Feng Rao, they became worried that Mu Chenyan would take it to heart that they cooperated with Feng Rao earlier. Thus, they anxiously followed her into the washroom as well. ... Mu Chenyan briefly fixed her makeup in the washroom. When she looked at herself in the mirror, a shocked expression appeared on her face for quite some time! This woman, was this her? She was still bewitching where she could excite others while her exquisite looks were as enchanting as before. Moreover, she was still seductive in many ways while her slender and pretty figure... However, the soul inside this body was no longer as ignorant or pure as a young girls heart anymore... Mu Chenyans gaze seemed like a rippling flood but the whirlpool that was secretly surging in the depths of her heart would not overflow. However, this was not caused by the pain of being trapped during her time in prison. Conversely, this was due to the fact that her current feelings towards Yuan Xuan were no longer as pure as they were during those years! Time was a ruthless knife, a sharp de that cut open wounds to bleed without ceasing. Although she was already physically out of prison, Mu Chenyan felt that her heart was still locked in that prison cell that was devoid of a single ray of light... ... Oh, youre here, Chenyan! When Zhou Xianer pushed open the door to the washroom and saw Mu Chenyan absentmindedly looking at herself in the mirror, she eagerly approached her and did not appear to give her the cold shoulder anymore. Yu Lingyun followed her while looking somewhat ufortable! After all, this youngdy who had not overstepped her bounds was not as shameless as Zhou Xianer. Earlier in the hall, she avoided her as if she was afraid that she would be infected by the gue. Now, however, she enthusiastically bounced over to her side! Frankly, she was just afraid of the man who stood behind her. Mu Chenyan was uncertain of their motives. She cautiously took a step backward and steadied her emotions as she red at Zhou Xianer before she speaking in a cold tone, Is something the matter, Mrs. Zheng? When Zhou Xianer saw that Mu Chenyans overly chilly attitude, her gaze grew gloomy before she faintly drew back as well. She had never expected that after being separated from Yuan Xuan for two years, the young socialitedy of the past would actually purify her heart and reduce her number of desires to this extent. Lingyun and I just wanted... just wanted to tell you that... I dont care about how you treated me earlier! After listening to what they had said earlier, Mu Chenyan had guessed their intentions behinding here. With a monotonous voice of indifference, she cut Zhou Xianer off! Zhou Xianer awkwardlyughed and said, Its just that were all sisters so how could you actually be angry... I wasnt your sister in the past and Ill never be your sister in the future! Mu Chenyans had a shockingly low EQ, thus her sharp and cold words gave Zhou Xianer and Yu Lingyun no ce to hide themselves. Neither of them could have imagined that the woman who was previously so harmless and seductively enchanting would say such rude and offensive words. Mu Chenyan, what do you have to be proud about? The Mu Family has already fallen from the ranks of the aristocratic families. Do you still think that youre the number one socialite of the past just by relying on the status and background that Yuan Xuan gave you? Since she was still youthful, Yu Lingyun was confident in her beauty, family background, and good academic achievements. When she thought of how the outside world still perceived Mu Chenyan as the number one socialite even while she was imprisoned, she was extremely displeased. Now that she had seen Mu Chenyan behaving in such an arrogant manner, she could not endure it anymore! Yuan Xuan spoiled his mistress that year before he got married and she even nearly gave birth to his child. You cant be certain that he wont repeat the same mistake again in the future! You should request numerous things to secure your position. Once youve be the wretched abandoned wife, I wonder if youll still have anything to be proud of? Yu Lingyun spoke in a flustered manner. Herst two sentences were somewhat too sinister and extremely humiliating but Zhou Xianer did not even bother to stop her. Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan sneered and said, Is that true? Thats what youre saying but I think that you should go and get stic surgery to see if you can get Yuan Xuan to sleep with you. Once youve given him a son and daughter, then you cane and trample over me! Oh! How harsh! Yu Lingyun and Zhou Xianer looked as if they had seen a ghost. They could not believe that the woman who stood before them was Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan did not even give them a chance to respond. While they had yet to swallow their breaths and were still craning their necks and staring, she had already pushed open the washroom door and walked out.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Inside the banquet hall, Shao Yibai noted that Yuan Xuans gaze was still ring in Wu Zes direction. This insidious man was clearly somewhat uneasy. This jerk by the name of Shao Yibai felt that he should try his best to point out some of the other partys behaviors, even if he needed to be a bad friend to do so. That person would not change if he did not tell him the truth to wake him up, much less felt that he was getting what he deserved! Youre fortunate to have such a beautiful wife. Its extremely normal to have severalpetitive rivals for a beauty like her. Hence, women cannot simply be captured by relying on sheer force. On the contrary, you need to understand certain appropriate behaviors as well. Shao Yibai saw through Yuan Xuans insecurities with one look. This young handsome man from the Capital City was rumored to be otherworldly. However, he had now turned into one of the experts on romance problems who generally appeared on the eight oclock shows... Yuan Xuans anger subsided and he started to ponder. During those two years, he had indeed hurt the womans heart and allowed another man tofort her. As of now, he knew that indulging his rival was equivalent to asking for trouble but it was toote now. That stupid woman openly epted his champagne-colored rose... He shook the wine ss in his hand. When he thought of the womans expression earlier despite her usual indifference, Yuan Xuansplexion got darker. Recalling Wu Zes expression when he looked at Mu Chenyan earlier, he felt extremely constricted as if his heart was being crushed by a rock. Shao Yibai sneered, his devilishly handsome face bewitching everyone. Youre the king of this territory so youre destined to face numerous rivals! Let me remind you that it seemed like your grandmother has arranged another good show for you. Youre the male lead so make sure you perform well! Shao Yibai purposely spoke vaguely to keep Yuan Xuan in suspense. From the looks of it, it seemed like he knew bits and pieces of inside information. Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was extremely displeased with Shao Yibais secretive attitude. Did you get some new information from Old Mistress earlier? Old Mistress regarded Shao Yibai as one of her own children and loved him as such. After several years without meeting him, the old grandmother held Shao Yibais hand and asked him lots of questions while they were in the lounge in the back hall earlier. While she was rambling on, perhaps certain matters had identally slipped out as she was speaking to Shao Yibai just now? Shao Yibai looked like he was taking pleasure in the other partys pain. He swirled the wine in his ss he smiled sinisterly and diverted the topic. Luo Hai is truly a great ce. Thend is fertile and the water is fresh while the women here are also excellent. Inparison to the women in Capital City, women here have fairer and healthier skin... Shao Yibai, dont you dare beat around the bush with me! Ill f*cking... (TN: Since theres no English equivalent for o zi to imply that Yuan Xuan was behaving rudely, the curse word was added to imply the same effect.) Yuan Xuan, a godlike man, only exposed his crude side in front of Shao Yibai. Hey hey hey, youre also a cultured person. Youre the number one young man among Luo Hais aristocratic families, so which noble son would actually open their mouth and curse like that? Despite being the one who always cursed while they were in the army camp, Shao Yibai was unrelenting nheless. The new contraband recruits and rookies under him frequently got scolded badly by him because their physical stamina was too weak and their attack skills were inferior. Thus, it was truly outrageous for Yuan Xuan to curse in front of him now! Yuan Xuan did not want to argue with him. His gaze caught sight of Mu Chenyan walking out of the washroom from another direction, and he strode to her direction. Yuan Xuan currently resembled an injured cornered beast. He was worried sick that the prey which he had fought hard and suffered critical injuries to get had entered the line of vision of another powerful rival. Wu Ze gazed at Mu Chenyans slender figure from the corner. He initially wanted to walk over and chat with her. Ever since the courts verdict was reversed and she was released from prison, he had never had the opportunity to speak with her privately unless it was rted to the case. However, he paused in his steps when he saw Yuan Xuans hurried footsteps. Deep in his heart, he was extremely conscious of the fact that these two people are a married couple. Regardless of how Mu Chenyan viewed Yuan Xuan in her heart, this rtionship could not be broken. If he got close to Mu Chenyan without permission, he would be the other man. With the marriage certificate in ce, Wu Ze felt he would not even stand a chance to engage in a fairpetition even as a kind-hearted man... He had met her twelve yearster than Yuan Xuan! Chapter 56 - Ill Teach You When We Go Home Tonight

Chapter 56: Ill Teach You When We Go Home Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Before Mu Chenyan could react, Yuan Xuans dark figure closed in on her. This handsome man was strangely calm as he embraced her. Despite the slight displeasure in his tone of voice, it was obvious that he was deliberately suppressing his emotions. He spoke to her quietly, Why are you still holding the rose? Be careful of its thorns! Mu Chenyan was baffled. From the moment she epted the rose from Wu Ze, she had been holding it in her hand till her palm was sweating! Its from Big Brother Wu. I cant be seen throwing it away in front of him... Her tone was nd, without a trace of uneasiness. It seemed that to her, this rose was no different from other flowers. It was not out of the line for Mu Chenyan to call him Brother Wu Ze. Mu Chenwu was promiscuous and unruly, and every time he visited her in prison, apart from swearing irritably about Yuan Xuan, the Yuan Family, and the Shu Family for not having any consideration about their friendship, he had hardly brought her anyfort. Wu Ze, on the other hand, besides fulfilling his duties as an attorney, wouldfort and encouraged her like a big brother. Listening to her nd tone, Yuan Xuans sharp chin fondled Mu Chenyans head. He held her head against his warm chest and whispered, Its been a long time since youst called me Brother Xuan... Mu Chenyan was speechless. ... Mu Chenyans shoulders were stiff. She did not even have the strength to ce her arms on Yuan Xuans waist but just let them hung loosely by the side. To her, these two words, Brother Xuan, was like a mantra she would keep repeating two years back, but now, she really could not mutter it out... I... I dont know know how to say... Mu Chenyan did not know how to describe her emotions this moment. Her ck eyes nced across Yuan Xuans exceedingly handsome and captivating face, and her soft voice was extremely pleasant to his ears. Seeing her feeling embarrassed but yet still looking mesmerizing, he was entangled deep within. Dissatisfied with her always deliberately and struggling to keep a distance, he wanted to teach her a lesson, yet he had no resistance for her soft and gentle voice. He had definitely been poisoned by this evil woman! Yuan Xuan calmed himself down and suppressed his tone to not frighten her. Then, Ill teach you tonight when we are back home. Mu Chenyans face immediately blushed. The hunger showed radiantly in Yuan Xuans gaze. Regarding matters in bed, Yuan Xuan had always been the dominant one. Although Mu Chenyan was passively engaged, she would still be aroused by him and be caught in the frenzy in the end. Mu Chenyan was afraid of that part of her losing herself and moaning under him without any scruples. She knew very well that he was poisonous and had once brought her doom, yet she was unable to control herself. During the heat of climax, it was as if whatever he asked her to do, she would do it without any hesitation... Noticing that Mu Chenyan understood his meaning, Yuan Xuan proudly smiled. She had on a peach color lipstick today, and the fair and delicate woman was now extremely shy like a peach blossom. The two were interacting ambiguously, disying their affection publicly as if no one else was around. At the other end of the hall, Shao Yibai was caught up with a few youngdies of the aristocratic families as they mustered up their courage and tried to flirt with this mysterious gentleman from the Capital City. It was not surprising that people were not familiar with Shao Yibai. First of all, because of the military status and the meritorious service of the Shao Family, he had no choice but to maintain a low profile; secondly, Luo Hai was not Shao Familys territory as most of the Shao Familys power and forces were located in the Capital City. As to why the youngdies had their eyes on this mysterious low-key handsome was that they figured that those who were eligible to attend the Yuan Familys banquet must either be rich or distinguished. What more, this gentleman was having a lively conversation with Yuan Xuan earlier on, so he must be someone with a prestigious status! Amongst the young men of the aristocratic families in Luo Hai, Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhe were already taken. Putting aside those who were once married or were inws, there were hardly any such brilliant gentlemen left in Luo Hai. Shao Yibai was a wolf in sheeps clothing. He would not refuse any of those who approached him, and the more the better. Since the women in Luo Hai were all pretty and delicate with fair skin akin to lotus flowers which just bloomed from the waters, he definitely did not mind the enjoyablepany to chat and drink with him. Only Yuan Xuan knew how difficult it was to win this mans heart. Chapter 57 - Old Mistress Treated Her Like A Pair of Worn Out Shoes To Be Discarded

Chapter 57: Old Mistress Treated Her Like A Pair of Worn Out Shoes To Be Discarded

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Herees Old Mistress! Someone shouted. Everyone simultaneously moved closer towards the direction of the stairs. Old Mistress Yuan was surrounded by a few people. She looked elegant and poised, coupled with a generous bearing. Compared to two years ago, Mu Chenyan felt that Grandmother was even more hale and hearty and no one would notice that she had passed the age of 70! Yuan Tangzhong was walking beside Old Mistress, introducing the young people around to her in a low voice. Old Mistress had a kind and gentle appearance, and she amiably greeted everyone. When she came across familiar young people, she would have theme closer and inquire further details, giving some thoughtful advice. The atmosphere in the hall turned vibrant once more. Yuan Zhe followed behind Old Mistress. He had just changed into a white shirt and dark blue vest. His upright and handsome appearance revealed the demeanor of a distinguished gentleman in all his movements. Following beside Yuan Zhe was a thin and refined man, who was wearing a pair of golden-edged sses. He looked decorous, not saying a word but smiled at everyone. Mu Chenyan recognized that he was Second Young Master, Yuan Zhuan. Due to the nature of work resulting in having to stay in the hospital all day long, Yuan Tangshuo and his wife together with Yuan Tian were unable to attend. However, as a man of the family, the brother, Yuan Zhuan, must apany by the Old Mistress side no matter what. Old Mistress, the one with the highest position and who has the final say in the Yuan Family, led a few of her grandchildren with outstanding appearances to socialize in the crowd. It was quite imposing! Usually, Old Mistress Yuan would not attend such asions, but her own annual aristocratic family banquet was an exception. Wheres Xuaner? When Old Mistress Yuan did not spot Yuan Xuan, she asked Yuan Tangzhong, who was beside her. Maybe he has gone out to bring Chenyan in. Yuan Tangzhong looked around. When his gaze fell on his nephew, he smiled. Yuan Xuan knew that Grandmother must be inquiring about his whereabouts, so he brought Mu Chenyan along as he headed towards Grandmother. Grandmother, Chenyan had returned for a few days. Ive brought her over today to greet you. As he spoke, Yuan Xuans big hand held on to Mu Chenyans and he pulled her closer to him. Mu Chenyan went forward and gently greeted, Grandmother, is your body in good health? Old Mistress Yuan gave a nce at Mu Chenyan, her initial happy look instantly lost its vibrancy. Cant you see for yourself whether Im doing fine? The displeasure in her tone was beyond words. The moment Old Mistress words came out, everyone gasped. Particrly Zhou Xianer and Yu Lingyun who had lost out earlier. Both had on a gloating expression. Mwahaha! Yuan Xuan cared deeply about Mu Chenyan, but the one with the highest status in the Yuan Family, Old Mistress, treated her with contempt, like a pair of worn out shoes to be discarded. What a major discovery this was! Mu Chenyan clearly did not expect Old Mistresss hostility towards her was this apparent. She had oftene over to the Yuan Family in the past, and although Old Mistress did not like her much, she did not reveal any enmity. When Yuan Xuan proposed marriage to the Mu Family, Old Mistress did not object as she felt that since it was somebody that Yuan Xuan liked and the Mu Familys background was fine that time. The end result of the marriage was barely satisfactory, but the responsibility should not lie with Mu Chenyan! Who would knew that Old Mistress would embarrass her in front of so many people today? Mu Chenyan felt wronged and upset, but she maintained her calm expression on the surface. She smiled faintly and said softly, Ive returned for a few days. Yuan Xuan said to wait till Im better before paying my respects to Grandmother. Grandmother must have been angry with me. Its all my fault... Thats not necessary! Old Mistress Yuan sneered. Xuaner has already told me, so anytime you want to send your greetings to me is up to your liking! Wen Ya saw Mu Chenyans face paled. With so many people around, and she was afraid that Old Mistress would say even more unfriendly words to hurt Mu Chenyan. She hurriedly pulled Mu Chenyan to her side and said smilingly, There are many people around today, and Grandmother cant be speaking that much here. We can continue the conversation when were back at the mansion, and it wont be toote still. Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan looking upset. The distinguished man pursed his lips, his dark eyes instantly turned menacing. He hugged Mu Chenyans shoulders, and his deep voice sounded, Sister-inw, please bring Chenyan to get some food. Her body is weak, and she has been standing here for some time waiting for Grandmother. Looks like Grandmother has not adapted to the fact that Xuaners wife is back! Chapter 58 - They Truly Are Big-tailed Wolves

Chapter 58: They Truly Are Big-tailed Wolves

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans words were a form of warning and deration Mu Chenyan was his wife! Others might not ept it, but this is a fact that would not change. When Old Mistress Yuan heard Yuan Xuans tone and attitude, she instantly felt that she had lost her face, but because there was an audience before her, she could not re up. The grandson whom she had personally brought up actually disobeyed her time after time for this woman? Yuan Zhe looked at Mu Chenyans figure and gave a cold sneer. This woman was Yuan Xuans weak spot. Now that she was back, things would get bustling in the Yuan Family! Wen Ya pulled Mu Chenyan aside. Seeing Mu Chenyans aggrieved face, she could not help butughed. The Yuan Family is like this. Youve been inside of the Yuan Family way earlier than me. Are you still not aware that the rules here are so conservative and out of date? Look at those grand old masters. When they see Old Mistress, they dont even dare to let out a fart. Even if they did, if Old Mistress says that it smells good, theyd have to follow suit. At least Yuan Xuan stood up and spoke for you. Upon hearing that, Mu Chenyan could not help but be amused. Wen Ya was wearing a befitting gown. Her gestures reflected the manner a mistress of a prestigious family should have, dignified as a fairy who had descended to Earth, but her manner of speech was humble and grounded. Yes, they truly are big-tailed wolves. (TN: A Chinese term to indicate a person whos pretentious. Its not that this wolfs tail is big, but because of its pretense, when its tail is revealed, it gives off the false impression that it is big.) Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Zhe, Yuan Xuan, and Yuan Zhuan still ingratiating themselves around Old Mistress. She did not dare to scold Grandmother, so she could only vent her anger on those men who would say that the Old Mistress fart was fragrant... Seeing Mu Chenyan pouting her tiny mouth and the annoyance on her pink and tender face, Wen Ya could not stopughing. She hadpletely forgotten that among the big-tailed wolves Mu Chenyan mentioned, there was also her husband! The two women were of the same identity, and they were once friends, so they quickly formed a united front. Mu Chenyan could notprehend as to why Old Mistress Yuans attitude towards her was always this lukewarm. Speaking of that, Mu Feng was half-a-rank lower than Yuan Tangbai. Mu Feng was Yuan Tangbais Deputy General, and in the military, half-a-rank made a great difference. Old Mistress Yuan had always thought that her eldest son was extremely brilliant, so she had favored Yuan Tangbai the most since he was little. Unfortunately, nothing in this world was constant, and Yuan Tangbai passed away. Although he helped the Yuan Family gained an indelible meritorious service award, he was not around anymore, and she was not able to ovee this hardship in her heart. Mu Feng returned to Luo Hai after guarding the border for 10 years. When Old Mistress Yuan saw that the formerrade was still alive and well, it triggered memories of the past. She recalled her deceased son, and in her heart, she was psychologically imbnced. Moreover, Mu Feng even brought back a bright and cheerful little girl from Xi Fan. That girl was exactly 10 years old and by calction, she must have been born during the pacification of the war in Xi Fan. This child, who had grown up alongside her parents, had a good character with a cheerful personality, but her son and daughter-inw had been buried for 10 years, leaving behind an unfortunate and lonely grandchild! There was a saying that went as such, if there was noparison, there would be no harm. Old Mistress Yuans state of heart was imbnced, and she herself was not aware that she had been blindly disliking Mu Chenyan all along. Plus, it so happened that this girl loved visiting the Yuan Family and getting close to Yuan Xuan, calling him Brother... Yuan Xuan was withdrawn and aloof, so no one was able to grasp his inner thoughts. Apart from Shu Qinger, whom the Shu Family had entrusted to the care of the Yuan Family, there were hardly any friends around Yuan Xuan. However, Qinger was sent to study abroad since the early years, so Yuan Xuan was left by himself, and he was truly lonely. Old Mistress Yuan was afraid that the child would not be blissfully happy for a long time, but seeing that when Mu Chenyan was by his side, he would at least smile a little, she tacitly acknowledged the two childrens friendship... At that time, she was not aware that Mu Chenyans little heart had weed Yuan Xuan in, and she had the kind of determination in which she had pledged herself to marriage at first sight. When Yuan Xuan returned from his studies abroad, Mu Chenyan also followed suit. She did not choose to continue to pursue a masters degree but followed him back. Everybody in Luo Hai knew that Mu Chenyan liked the Yuan Familys Third Young Master! Chapter 59 - Everyone Had a Selfish Side

Chapter 59: Everyone Had a Selfish Side

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion All along, Old Mistress preferred girls like Qinger, who was gentle and caring, obedient, without many thoughts. Mu Chenyan was clearly not such a girl! Being overly clever and quirky and having the conspicuous title of the number one socialite, the woman who was to partner with Yuan Xuan for life was not supposed to be like this. However, Yuan Xuans stance had always been unknown. After returning to the country, this child began to resolutely and fervently start up his own business. The connections left by Yuan Tangbai was still present. Coupled with Old Mistress forces and the support from Yuan Xuans mother, Jiao Shuzhen, his way to sess was pretty smooth-sailing. At that time, although Old Mistress did not open her mouth, yet she was mumbling in her heart, Mu Chenyan is too dazzling. Having her stay by Yuan Xuans side for too long isnt a good thing! The matter of marriage was on the agenda, but Yuan Xuan seemingly did not seem to be concerned about it. Old Mistress Yuan was unable to perceive his grandsons attitude toward girls. She did not expect that Yuan Xuan proposed to the Mu Family and he did not inform anyone. ording to the rules of the aristocratic families in Luo Hai, when there was a marriage, notices would be given out to invite the eldest people in the older generation, and an engagement party-like banquet would be held to announce it to the world. When Mu Feng came visiting, only then did Old Mistress Yuan know that the woman his grandson had chosen to marry was Mu Chenyan! The Mu Family was already at the door, and due to the rtionship between the two families back then, it was inappropriate for Old Mistress to force her wishes. So long as Yuan Xuan liked, it did not matter whether she was in favor or not. No one had expected such a terrible thing to happenter on! Even if it was now determined that Qinger was not murdered by Mu Chenyan, there was still the issue about the child Qinger was pregnant with. Yuan Xuan neither admitted nor denied, but if it had really belonged to Yuan Xuan, then that child would have been the Yuan Familys third generation and Old Mistress great-grandchild? If it was not for Mu Chenyan, Qinger would have married into the Yuan Family because of that child, and there would not be the case involving a corpse and two lives then? Shu Qinger, after all, was brought up in the Yuan Family since she was little, so in her heart, Old Mistress Yuan still favored her more. But Qinger died, and Old Mistress was so grieved that she had fallen sick a few times! Mu Chenyan was in prison for two years, and due to all kinds of embroilments, the Mu Family had copsed. That was not all. In the outside world, there was even a saying going around that Yuan Xuan was ungrateful, stepping on his own father-inw and bringing them down to doom! The Yuan Family, who ced the utmost importance in honor and family prestige, had a poor repute in Luo Hai for some time because of the Mu Familys incident. It was just that everyone did not dare to talk about it openly. Old Mistress Yuan was full of resentment and was unable to vent it out. After all, the people of the Mu Family were either dead or wounded, and their only heir had gone missing. The pent-up emotions had caused Old Mistress Yuan to sustain internal injuries. Seeing Mu Chenyan appearing before her eyes now, how could shee to like her immediately? It was said that there was no reason to hate someone, but Old Mistress Yuan had lots of reasons to hate Chenyan... Mu Chenyan had noprehension of all these internal entanglements. She was just naively loving Yuan Xuan, following him all around, and never abandoning him, but todays result was something she had never expected! ... Yuan Xuan apanied Old Mistress toasting around, but his eyes would constantly nce Mu Chenyans direction. Seeing Mu Chenyan together with Wen Ya, with her cheeks bulging chewing her food like a little squirrel, he quietly sighed in his heart, Was this woman that fond of eating even back then? Or did that the two years of prison life had caused her to suffer so much that she now has a glutton for food? Yuan Xuans absent-minded look was noticed by Grandmother, she did not feel good about it but did not voice out. Everyone has a selfish side! Yuan Xuan was single-handedly brought up by Old Mistress. In a sense, she treated Yuan Xuan more like her own child, and he was the mental sustenance that the deceased Yuan Tangbai had left for Old Mistress! Now that the child had grown up, and by calction, he had been in dispute with Grandmother twice because of Mu Chenyan! Chapter 60 - Simply Matchmade

Chapter 60: Simply Matchmade

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The first time was when Mu Chenyan was taken away by the police. In order to protect the Yuan Familys reputation, the Yuan Familys elders wanted to break off the engagement, and this had enraged Yuan Xuan. His two uncles and cousin brothers did not dare to offend this little overlord, so they engaged Old Mistress for the matter, but they did not expect that Yuan Xuan would not yield and had a manner of granting death to all who stood in his way! The autocratic Old Mistress felt like she was looking at a stranger, the grandson whom she had personally brought up, having a fall out with her all because of a woman! It was that time onwards that Old Mistress Yuanpletely disliked Mu Chenyan. Again, today at the banquet, Yuan Xuan protected the woman openly and discreetly, forgetting his Grandmother after marrying a wife... Xuaner, after the banquet is over, have all the children of the Yuan Family to stay back, and lets have tea together! Yuan Xuan knew that Grandmother was still unhappy about the incident earlier on, so his attitude now was very humble. He tugged Grandmothers hand and said, Alright. We havent eaten together for quite some time indeed. I should have visited Grandmother at the Upper Mansionst weekend too. Ran Ran will only be hereter. She has to take care of something in school, so shell bete. Yuan Zhe applied a leave of absence for his sister. Among the two girls in the Yuan Family, Grandmother favored Yuan Ran more. She was pretty and had a sweet mouth. Skillful in talking, she delighted Old Mistress, and sopared to Yuan Tian, Yuan Ran was favored a little more. Yuan Zhuan was aware that he was the only one present from the third sons side. His sister, Yuan Tian, had followed their parents to attend a conference. Although Grandmother was understanding, this was, after all, a family banquet. Yuan Tangshuos family really had no excuse to be absent, causing Second Young Master, Yuan Zhuan, to be so scared that he did not dare to make a sound. Old Mistress looked at the periphery and said to Yuan Xuan, Later, have thatd from the Shao Family to stay back as well. He seem to have a steady nature, and his looks are very charming too. Ran Ran is not that young anymore, and since both of their backgrounds are rather simr, Id like to introduce them to each other. For the elders, it had be a habit for them to simply matchmake... Yuan Xuan cast a meaningful gaze at Shao Yibai. This fellow mentioned that Grandmother had arranged something for me. The way I see it, its you who will be having a hard time saving yourself, eh? Yuan Xuan thought quietly in his mind. The bevy of young girls approaching Shao Yibai had never stopped. Toasting one another, this man who was talking cheerfully and wittily, would make eye contact with Yuan Xuan from time to time as if he was asking, Mr Yuan, hows my charisma? This handsome and chic man had be the target of all the socialites and young girls at the banquet. His poprity seemingly overshadowed Wu Ze. Aside from the few excellent married men, this kind of suitable-for-marriage young meat was promised to be popr wherever they went! In fact, Wu Ze, on the other side, was not in a favorable situation as well. There would constantly be peopleing up to him to have small talk with him. Wu Ze was not an aloof man, but as he was not in a good mood this evening. He gave a cold face to the girls clustering around him and ignored all of them. ... After a while, Chenyan changed into afortable evening dress and stepped back out. She was wearing a cherry pink short dress, and itplemented her fair and tender skin extremely well. The back of her dress was a thinyer of chiffon with sparkling diamond chips sewn on it. She looked extremely enchanting, even though she stayed quiet and said nothing, she still became the focus in the entire hall. When she and Wen Ya appeared, everyones gaze was attracted by the Yuan Familys third missus. Even Wen Ya, who was by her side, had paled into insignificance... Yuan Xuan saw that she was no longer having the earlier looks of being wronged, and his heart felt at ease. Striding over, he embraced her. After a while, when no one was noticing, he lightly pecked her forehead and gently whispered, You didnt want to be conspicuous tonight, but you have identally be the most beautiful one! Mu Chenyan was startled, and she nced around, afraid that someone had seen that and felt exceedingly shy. How could Yuan Xuan made such an intimate move in public? Mu Chenyans Three Worldviews (TN: a Chinese termprising a persons conception of the world, the outlook of life, and values) was secretly renewed! Her impression of Yuan Xuan had always to be a man to be observed from afar and not to be touched. It had always been her who had taken the initiative, shamelessly pestering the other despite never getting an affirmative response. But now, Yuan Xuan was taking the initiative to express his affections to her. Mu Chenyan was not ustomed to it at all... Chapter 61 - Youve Got No Respect for Your Brother

Chapter 61: Youve Got No Respect for Your Brother

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Old Mistress saw the interaction between the two. She nced at Yuan Xuan and sighed quietly. This grandson of mine has really been bewitched by this woman, Mu Chenyan! Not to mention being all lovey-dovey in the public, they even disregard me! Yuan Tian is not here. If she was here, seeing that she and that woman are close to each other and will be together a lot in the future, that would really be wreaking havoc and bringing chaos to the Yuan Family! Old Mistress Yuans overactive mental and psychological thoughts coupled with the long period of socializing soon tired her out. Yuan Zhe and Yuan Zhuan hurriedly helped Grandmother to sit down and rest by the side. ... Each guest was here for their own agenda. Some were taking the opportunity to get close to Yuan Tangzhong, speaking in official terms about their political career and trying to strike up an acquaintance with him so that in the future, they could acquire this bigshots assistance in Luo Hai. Some, on the other hand, were taking advantage of this opportunity to approach the three young masters of the Yuan Family and fawn over them. Throughout the ttery speech, Yuan Zhe continuously disyed a polite and satisfied smile on his face. However, Yuan Xuan was as always, alienating and indifferent. These youngds were younger than him. Although they were not that mature in age,ing from aristocratic families, they had learned well the ssic ability to trim ones sail to the wind. Yuan Xuan cast his mind back to the time when he returned from Ennd. What he did was simply leveraged on his fathers contacts andwork, and so he had a better headstart when starting up his business. However, thetter part of his business expansion was all attained through his own effort! Inspections at the mines site, geological surveys, and buyout bids; he had been working day and night, sometimes so busy till he did not even had time for a sip of water, but not once did he resort to any short-cuts in building his business. Even in the aspect of socialworking, he held firm to his own principles. He would not speak any words of adtion, let alone give praises that were contrary to his convictions. He had managed to break new grounds with his outstanding ability and his resolute way of doing things. If he was not capable, should he find shelter under a powerhouse and take short-cuts? No, he would not resort to that at all! On asions such as the current one, listening to all the exaggerating praises from his peers was rather annoying to Yuan Xuan, so naturally, there was no expression on his face. His eyes were only affixed on his wife, who was as beautiful as a flower... As Wu Ze had not left, when Mu Chenyan was conversing intimately with Wen Ya. Wu Ze would constantly circle around like a ferocious beast guarding its prey, and this caused Yuan Xuan to feel uneasy. Two prodigal sons noticed that no matter how they ttered Yuan Xuan, he would not respond positively at all and did not even bother to give a smile. Following Yuan Xuans gaze, their focus shifted and moved onto Mu Chenyan. Young Master Yuans really blessed. The Mu Familys young miss is no less beautiful than back then... Thats right. I thinkpared to two or three years ago, Miss Chenyans countenance seems even better. The Yuan Familys feng shui is really favorable for ones well-being. The two were out of words and were simply looking for a conversation topic. Yuan Xuans face darkened as he sneered ironically. Mu Chenyan had only been staying with the Yuan Family for about ten days. How could there be the saying of good countenance? These mediocre people were unaware of the sufferings she had experienced in prison, and only kept ingratiating themselves. This irritated Yuan Xuan! I think Master Zheng and Young Master Qian should head back now. Both of you are already drunk and spouting nonsense. It wouldnt be a good thing if you make a fool of yourselvester. Yuan Xuan unceremoniously asked them to leave, his dark and deep gaze showed no trace of warmth. The two gentlemen were so shocked that they dared not say another word and hid in a corner dejectedly. Yuan Zhuan saw how cold-hearted his younger brother was from the side, and he could not help tough out loud. Yuan Xuan rolled his eyes and said, Did Second Brother forget to take your medicine before leaving the house? Yuan Zhuan was honest by nature. From young, he had been no match for Yuan Xuan in arguments. After growing up, although he was also in the business field, he still could notpete against Yuan Xuan. As he had lost out in terms of bearing, hecked the confidence to speak out as well. Huh, youve got no respect for your brother! Upon saying that, the cultured Yuan Zhuan went to Old Mistress side, leaving Yuan Xuan the back of aining figure... Chapter 62 - She Had Surely Gone Slightly Overboard!

Chapter 62: She Had Surely Gone Slightly Overboard!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After 8 pm, many of the guests bade their farewells, and the men went to see them off. The daughters-inw of the Yuan Family and a few young people who had close rtions with the Yuan Family stayed back. They circled Old Mistress and chatted about their family matters, no longer the civilities in official settings. Wu ze sat at the corner of the table, his handsome face had a faint, gloomy expression of sorrow and loss. He had wanted to find an opportunity to have a chat with Chenyan. After all, Yuan Xuan had previously mentioned that Chenyan was abused in prison. Recalling the many times they had met in prison but with her not mentioning a word about it, he felt an exceedingly intense restlessness and guilt. However, observing the equivocal between Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan in the hall, he dared not step forward at all. He was able to help Mu Chenyan in the past, but now, he had no more reason to do so. ... Yuan Xuan brought Mu Chenyan over to sit beside Grandmother. He was worried that Chenyan would resist doing so after suffering the grievances earlier on. However, he did not expect Mu Chenyan to be calm andposed, with a faint smile on her slightly pink face. She was not resistant at all as he expected her to be. Yuan Xuan was relieved, and he went to send off the guests. After a while, Yuan Ran came back from school, still dressed in her casual clothes. She had casually tied her hair into a bun, her clean and beautiful face like that of a young girl was captivating. The Yuan Familys genes were exceptional; the males were unusually cool and serious, while the females were pretty and cute. Elegant and generous all the fine words were convened on her. Yuan Ran was truly one of the top four socialites and was indeed worthy of the title! She was rtively close to Mu Chenyan, but not as close as Yuan Tian and Mu Chenyan were. Spotting Mu Chenyan, Yuan Ran nodded at her as a form of greeting to her. She noticed that Yuan Xuan was not by the side, and she directly sat between Grandmother and Mu Chenyan! It was as if it did not matter to her that there was now an additional sister-inw in the family. She had surely gone slightly overboard. Mu Chenyan did not take the matter to heart but got up and moved a little to the side. Yuan Ran had always been proud, and now that the Yuan Family was in the limelight, it was normal to have some attitude as the famous socialite in Luo Hai. Seeing that Yuan Ran was back, Grandmothers tone was rebuking yet loving. Silly girl, are you really that busy? You dont even know how to change your clothes when attending a banquet. Grandmother, as you know, Ill be graduating very soon, and I have an internship report to write, so dont me me. Yuan Ran was acting coquettishly as she moved closer to Old Mistress. Her slender and petite figure exuded a fragrance unique to a young girl, and Grandmothers gaze on her softened a great deal. Old Mistress seemed to remember something, and she turned around and said to Shao Yibai, Yibai, I think you shoulde and sit next to me. Old Mistress intention was to have Shao Yibai sit beside Yuan Ran and use the opportunity to matchmake... Next to Old Mistress were Yuan Ran and Wen Ya. As such, Mu Chenyan had to move further outward. Chenyan had returned for a number of days, but she did not have the opportunity to speak to Old Mistress. Yuan Xuans intention was to have the both of them get acquainted. However, no one expected Grandmother to directly push her third granddaughter-inw out... Mu Chenyan did not mind at all and remained calm like water. She gently said, Im going to thedies room. Mr Shao, doe and have a chat with Grandmother. Shao Yibai had no other way. The handsome and elegant man winked at Mu Chenyan and quietly replied, Thank you, sister-inw! Wu Ze, who was at the same table, saw that Mu Chenyan was being squeezed out and left quietly. He was not happy about it, so he also got up in the pretext of going to the toilet and followed after her. Mu Chenyan was in the toilet for some time, her expression seemed to be in a daze. Her family had bereaved, and does her staying in the Yuan Family considered as depending on others for a living? Moreover, she should thank the Yuan Family for putting her in the current state she was in now... If she had a choice, how would she be willing to appear here and be humiliated by others? Her stay here was merely Yuan Xuans wishful thinking! The people of the Yuan Family had only put on a show as if they were doing a charity. How ironic! Chapter 63 - Maybe I Was Destined to Go Through This Misfortune in Life

Chapter 63: Maybe I Was Destined to Go Through This Misfortune in Life

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan looked into the mirror and smiled pitifully at herself. In the semi-retro design hotel, the corridor was installed with copper wallmps with exquisite carvings. When pale yellow light from the warm color frosted light bulbs shone, the fine Renaissance-themed mural along the corridor looked even more exquisite. When Mu Chenyan came out from the toilet, at the side of the corridor that was mottled with pale yellow light, she saw the dark face of a man with wreaths of smoke swirling around him. Big Brother Wu? Mu Chenyan called out. She did not know that Wu Ze smoked. This man usually appeared refined and gentle as the luster of jade, but in court, he was resolute and domineering, constantly defeating his opponent that thetter could not even fight back! If it was not for Mu Chenyans case, Wu Zes career might have been known for never losing awsuit... Now, under the wreaths of smog, he seemed to have an added touch of a ruffians charm. Chenyan, lets have a chat! Wu Ze looked at Mu Chenyan as he sincerely invited her. Mu Chenyan was stunned for a while. She did not know the reason Wu Ze suddenly became mellow. Recalling the moment when Yuan Xuan had secretly felt jealous at the banquet because of the rose, she drew back a little. Observing Mu Chenyans hesitation, Wu Ze let out augh. He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can at the side and strode toward Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan subconsciously took a step back. Big Brother Wu, if youve got anything to say, we can talkter... The light here was dim, most suitable for equivocal moments... Her previous meetings with Wu Ze was conducted either across the ss window or in court. She had never made contact with him at such a close distance, and she was not mentally prepared to do so yet. Why didnt you tell me? Why did you hide it from me? Wu Zes tone was somewhat heavy. He stopped in his tracks with a meter of distance from Mu Chenyan. The heavy smell of wine mixed with the faint aftershave on the man assailed her nostrils. Mu Chenyan froze on the spot and had not grasped what Wu Ze was mad about. In prison, there were people abusing you. Why didnt you tell me earlier? I wouldnt have let you stayed in there... Wu Zes repressed roar echoed in the corridor. If the guests had not left and were walking about here, it would be difficult to not misunderstood him seeing him in this manner now! Mu Chenyan felt a little nervous. Her eyes reddened and she said very quietly, Big Brother Wu, no matter what, I thank you a lot! Its all in the past now, and it wasnt something you can control. Havent you constantly been doing your best and dutifully defending me? I... Wu Ze wanted to say something, but the words were stuck, and he was unable to speak. Wu Ze wanted to tell her that if he had done his best, with his ability, the case would not have dragged on so for so long, and she would not have suffered an unrighted wrong in vain for two years! But he could not do it. If he admitted to that, this was equivalent to admitting his hypocrisy and deceit, which was also the same as putting himself on moral trial and burning himself! His ever-victorious career as awyer would also lose its meaning. The one in prison should have been him... Chenyan... Im really sorry! Wu Ze lowered his head suddenly and ced his hand on the mural that was full of intricate carvings. The extremely handsome and charming man was at this time like a defeated hero, miserably dispirited. Big Brother Wu, dont me yourself. The one who put me in prison wasnt you. The ones who abused me werent you as well. I did not believe in fate before, but now I do. Maybe I was destined to go through this misfortune in life. Am I not well and standing in front of you now? Mu Chenyans gentle tone felt as if spring breeze across Wu Zes heart. Chapter 64 - He Was Innocent and Was Someone to Be Treated Kindly

Chapter 64: He Was Innocent and Was Someone to Be Treated Kindly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze lifted his head and gazed at the woman who was as radiant and beautiful as ever in front of him. His voice quivered slightly, but there were some things he could not talk about. Chenyan, Yuan Family is not the ce for you... Big Brother Wu, Yuan Xuan and I are married! Mu Chenyan agitatedly interrupted Wu Ze. She knew that he had noticed the Yuan Familys hostility, and perhaps after tonight, all the prestigious and aristocratic families in Luo Hai would know that the Yuan Familys Third Young Mistress was not doted on... Even if Yuan Xuan could protect her for a moment, he could not protect her forever! Moreover, Yuan Xuan was not a lifesaver to her! Back then, he had chosen to be indifferent to her suffering. He had secretly allowed it all to happen and even personally orchestrated it. Being subjected to grievances and ousted by the Yuan Family today should not even bepared to those afflictions? Nheless, words of advice to leave should not havee from Yuan Xuans buddy. After all, Wu Ze was just a bystander. He was innocent and was someone to be treated kindly. Even if Yuan Xuan was his buddy, he would stille to no good end offending him. Mu Chenyan would not want to incriminate others... I know how to handle my affairs well. Brother Wu, I appreciate your kindness. Mu Chenyans tone was polite but alienated. Her attitude pained Wu Ze, but he had no outlet to vent it out. He watched Mu Chenyan closely. This womans determined gaze defeated him. Mu Ze lowered his voice and sincerely said, The Mu Family are now in ruins, and there are only very few people you can rely on. If you ever need any help, I hope youd think of me first... Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Her delicate, small face pink was like a blossoming peach, her clear onyx eyes looked misty. Her voice was a little choked, but she tried to maintain her calmness. Thank you, Big Brother Wu. I dont me you at all, but I truly thank you from the depth of my heart! If it wasnt for your apaniment and encouragement during those two years, I suppose you wont be seeing the Mu Chenyan whos standing in front of you now. Now that Ive been released from prison, please allow me to make my own decision on how to proceed. Rest assured, if I have any difficulties in the future, Ill still treat you as my brother... Wu Zes eyes reddened. He managed a smile and nodded. Reaching into his pocket, he took out a business card and passed it to Mu Chenyan, If theres anything, feel free to call me. Mu Chenyan looked at that golden card glittering under the light. She was slow to react and did not move. I think Young Master Wus business card should just be passed to me. Yuan Xuans tall figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, and his hand reached out to take away the card from Wu Zes hand. Mu Chenyan did not react in time, and she was embraced by Yuan Xuan in his arms. Yuan Xuans strength was shockingly strong as if he was going to snap her thin waist, causing Mu Chenyan to breathe in difficulty. Yuan Xuan, let go... she muttered in a low voice. Mu Chenyan was obviously hurt. Her small hands struggled for a while, but the other party was indifferent, and the oppressive exploitation irritated her very much! When Wu Ze saw Yuan Xuan appearing, he was shocked by his overpowering attitude. Seeing Mu Chenyans face flushing red, Wu Zes repressed and deep voice sounded, Yuan Xuan, you shouldnt be treating Chenyan like this... Shes my wife! Is Young Master Wu teaching me how to treat my wife? Yuan Xuans deep and narrow phoenix-like eyes darkened. His gaze was like a ferocious beast about to make an attack, tearing its prey into pieces the very next second... Mu Chenyan was afraid that Yuan Xuan would be angry with him and quickly said to Wu Ze, Big Brother Wu, just go. You cant do anything about this. Wu Ze, did you hear that? This is something between us husband and wife. Even if youre my brother, you should steer clear of ambiguity! Understand? Yuan Xuans tone was very light. No expression could be seen on his handsome face under the re of the light in the corridor, but the oppressive aura was in no way reduced. Underneath the peaceful and quiet appearance was probably surges of tidal waves... Chapter 65 - 150 Seconds of Staring into Each Other

Chapter 65: 150 Seconds of Staring into Each Other

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze was triggered by Yuan Xuans words, the veins on his handsome face were seen bulging. Even the intelligent and eloquent topwyer of Luo Hai was lost for words at this time! He was too familiar with this brother of his, who was strong-headed and proud but was also one who distinguished clearly between kindness and hatred. He was sure to repay people for their kindness and take revenge against those who had wronged him. Back then when they were overseas, he had taken two bullets for him and had his life hanging by a thread, the domineering man had knelt at the entrance of the operation room and waited for him to safelye out... When those culprits were captured after the incident, the raging Yuan Familys Third Young Master made them suffer through hell... They were brothers who would die for each other, so how could they now turn into enemies? As Wu Ze turned around to leave, he gave Mu Chenyan a deep and meaningful gaze. ... The dark corridor was left with only two people. Yuan Xuans expression was still calm, his phoenix-shaped eyes shining and dimming intermittently as they sized up Mu Chenyans expressionless face over and over again. Both of them stayed silent, neither wanted to speak first. It was 150 seconds of staring into each other! Go! Yuan Xuan suddenly tugged Mu Chenyan heavily and walked toward the elevator. The people in the banquet hall had not dispersed yet, and low conversing voices would travel out from the inside from time to time. Earlier on, Mu Chenyan used the excuse of going to thedies, so she did not know what made Yuan Xuan so mad that he was forcefully bringing her away. Where are you taking me? Chenyans fair and tender wrist turned red from his brutal force, and the severe pain made her used her other hand to hit Yuan Xuan. Amidst the pushing and shoving, Mu Chenyan was dragged by Yuan Xuan to the hotel entrance. Yan Jun was waiting there with the Rolls-Royce. Clearly, Yan Jun did not expect Yuan Xuan toe out this early. He was just habitually waiting as per order. Seeing Yuan Xuan pulling his wife angrily, Yan Jun was shocked and hurriedly got down to open the car door. Yuan Xuan shoved her into the car and could not care less about her resistance! The oppressive dark figure of the man overshadowed the petite woman. Mu Chenyan stared at Yuan Xuan with her big ck eyes, not understanding what was he so enraged about. Back to Hibiscus Garden! Yuan Xuans hoarse voice traveled through the interior of the car. Yan Juns expression was grim. Provoking the CEO to this state would result in either ones death or one getting severely hurt. He began to pray for the well-being of Young Mistress in his heart. Mu Chenyan was trembling from anger, and she did not want to talk to Yuan Xuan at all. Im not a pet that you can caress and call out adoringly whenever you like it but treat roughly when youre not in the mood... The car sped on the highway, and inside the car was dead silence. Each of them had their own thoughts in their mind, and no one wanted to break the silence. The drive, which normally took 30 minutes, waspleted by Yan Jun in only 20 minutes. This top assistant was definitely not stupid. Hurriedly leaving this oppressive atmosphere would enable him to live a few more years! ncing at the couple who were still annoyed with each other, Yan Jun recited Amitabha in his heart that Young Mistress would be sensible and that this malevolent mans explosive anger would be tamed... Get out of the car! Yuan Xuans demanding tone was really irking her. Mu Chenyan clearly could not ept it. It was just a moment of hesitation, and the mans strong and firm steel-like wrist was almost tearing her arm off! She was in intense pain, but she held it in and made no sound. Mu Chenyan responded to the mans brutality with silence and an angry re. Ah Fu also did not expect Young Master and the mistress to return this early. She hurriedly helped Yuan Xuan took off his jacket. Seeing the Masters gloomy face, the girl shuddered in fear. Ah Fu, fill the bathtub! I want to take a bath! Mu Chenyan headed to the second floor on her own, leaving the raging beast behind. In the bathroom, a water mist was fogging up and bing denser. Mu Chenyan sat in the water and eventually figured out the source of Yuan Xuans anger. This man had probably listened to what Feng Rao said and after spotting her talking with Wu Ze in the corridor, he had be intensely jealous! What a petty man! I havent even ask you whos the father of that dead fetus, and youre minding my business? She sneered ironically. Mu Chenyan tugged the bathrobe from the shelf and wrapped it tightly around her body. Chapter 66 - Youve Showered for Two Hours

Chapter 66: Youve Showered for Two Hours

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Thete autumn chill blew towards Mu Chenyan slowly. She shuddered a little and tightened the bathrobe around her even more. She stepped out of the bathroom and her frail body was surrounded by warmth. The man had an aura of a sweet red wine aroma mixed with hormones. He dominantly and forcefully took away her breath... Finally youre willing toe out? Yuan Xuan lowered his tone and said into her ears in an unusually hoarse voice... Yuan Xuan hugged her from behind and said softly with aining tone, Youve showered for more than two hours! ! She raised her head, saw a few wine bottles and two crystal clear wine sses scattered on the wooden coffee table at the corner of the bedroom! This man who valued time greatly actually sat there and waited two hours for her? As he was sipping on red wine, he was savoring the taste of loneliness and solitude? ? Since Yuan Xuan drank wine, his body was getting a little heavy as he embraced her in his arms. Probably because quite some time had passed by, the agitated and angry aura from just now had subsided after a long period of sedimentation. His voice also became softer, Come and drink with me! Mu Chenyan stood still without moving, and her stiff body gradually became colder in his arms. Yuan Xuan knew that this woman was having thoughts of disobeying him and she would not give in that easily. The wicked man tugged on the corners of her bathrobe and walked forward slowly. Mu Chenyan was afraid that if she did not move, her thin bathrobe would be pulled off and she was not wearing anything underneath it... She followed him and sat on the wooden sofa with fabric cushions. However, the wronged look on her face was extremely obvious! Yuan Xuan poured two sses of wine. He handed one to her and held the other in his hand. A smile curled up at the corners of his elegant yet devilish lips. Then, a cold and enchanting voice was heard, Be obedient, drink it! Mu Chenyan had already been humiliated at the dinner. Right now, her greatest retaliation would be her silence. When others bully her, she would not resist and even smiled it off. That was because those people were not dear to her heart and the pain that they caused was only superficial. But this man in front of her was different! If he were to strike the right chord, the pain that he caused would prate deep into her bones... Previously, she was foolish and did not know when to take the initiative and hence she used to suffer so much. Now, however, she did not want to tolerate anymore! Theres nothing between Wu Ze and me. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and said coldly. I was taken away on my wedding night two years ago because of you. I spent the past two years in prison and didnt have the chance to betray you. If Wu Ze were to contact me, it was all because of the case! Mu Chenyan exined anxiously as she was afraid that Yuan Xuan would me Wu Ze. An extremely light smile appeared at the corners of Yuan Xuans lips and he ced the wine ss on the table. He suddenly pulled her from the sofa and into his arms and said in a low voice, I didnt say that you betrayed me! I just want you to drink with me, mm? Hisst word ended on a higher tone, sounding extremely hoarse and sexy! The hormonal aura from the man was getting heavier. After staying with him for the past few days, Mu Chenyan recognized that this was a dangerous aura! She was too afraid to move as sitting on top of this man was no better than sitting on a ticking time bomb! Seeing that she was still she was still hesitating, Yuan Xuan picked up the wine ss and took a small sip. He then held her head, aimed at her pink lips and pressed his lips against hers... Mm... cough cough cough... Mu Chenyan was triggered by the alcohol that he forced into her mouth and started coughing. Right after she calmed down, there was a continuous second and third time... This red wine came from Yuan Xuans private wine cer. Each bottle was nicely aged and some could no longer be found in the market. Thus, it was needless to discuss the purity and taste of the wine. Mu Chenyan was forced to gulp down two full sses of wine and she soon felt drunk! She felt a little humiliated and wanted to retaliate. But Yuan Xuan held her hands and warned domineeringly, The more you resist, the more you would need to drink. So, you have to be obedient, okay? Mu Chenyan was so upset that her chest was heaving up and down from her heavy breathing. She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and said in a light tone, What do you want? I want to have a few drinks with my wife! The unreasonable stance that Yuan Xuan had on right now caused Mu Chenyan to soften up... Chapter 67 - Be Obedient And Take Off Your Bathrobe By Yourself..

Chapter 67: Be Obedient And Take Off Your Bathrobe By Yourself...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He continued to feed her with this method, but the period of time that their lips stayed entangled was getting longer each time. It was up until the two tongues were not able to be separated. He held her head, deepened the kiss and hisrge hands started moving relentlessly. He reached into her bathrobe, the rough sensation caused her entire body to tremble... Her delicate body was being teased beyond endurance and her body temperature started rising under his fingertips. Due to the added effect of alcohol, she wriggled around restlessly in his arms and moaned softly. Do you want it? Yuan Xuan said in a low devilish voice! Mu Chenyan shook her head and pleaded softly, Quick... stop it... Yuan Xuan became even more wicked. His relentless hands continued and tears started to form in Mu Chenyans eyes. She herself could not even control the sobbing sound in her voice, but it sounded like an ambiguous invitation! Yuan Xuan had a pleased look on his face as he was able to control this woman. He then asked in a low and enchanting tone, Be obedient and take off your bathrobe by yourself... ... Everything that happened after that had been sorted out. Mu Chenyan was pushed against the wall while he ravaged her over and over again! It was one of the positions that most men would want to try! This man with strong arms seemed to be absolutely delighted with this position! Only after Mu Chenyan could no longer support herself and had to lean her tender body on his shoulders and pleaded to him that he finally moved to the bed. She did not know how many times did they do it in one night. Every time she regained consciousness, she would face his excessive face... She knew that he was physically strong, but she did not know his limits. It seemed like he never knew what is fatigue... His desires finally subsided when the sun was about to rise. Mu Chenyan was so tired that she could not even open her eyes. But she could not sleep well because her body was aching too much. To be precise, her back was in a burning pain! Although the wallpaper of the bedroom was of good quality, a huge red mark still appeared on her delicate back from the intense friction. The beautiful woman who was in a semi-conscious stateid on the bed breathing softly. There was a deep bite mark on her shoulder. Yuan Xuan got some ointment and applied it onto her back. His slender long fingers gently swept across Mu Chenyans smooth skin. The cooling effect of the green-colored ointment caused the woman on the bed to moan infort. After he finished applying the ointment, he got onto the bed and hugged Mu Chenyan from behind. His warm and wide embrace enticed her to arch towards him like a cat and purredfortably... ... On the second day, Mu Chenyan woke up particrly early. Her waist was sore and her back was still hurting after being ravaged excessively. She gradually recalled what they didst night, especially the part where Yuan Xuan said those embarrassing words into her ears. Mu Chenyan felt that she could no longer face this man calmly. She got out of bed, quickly freshened up and escaped from this space where he was at. Right when Mu Chenyan was leaving, Yuan Xuan sat up in bed. He smiled lightly as he watched her tiptoed and left the room sneakily. Seeing Mu Chenyaning down from the stairs, Ah Fu rushed over and asked, Young Mistress, what do you want to eat? Ah Fu will cook for you! Mu Chenyan smiled when saw the kind-hearted girls innocent face, Its still early and the Young Master is not up yet. Ill make breakfast together with you, okay? Ah Fu froze for a while and suddenly understood what her master said. She hurriedly waved her hands and muttered, That wont do, that wont do. Young Mistress is a noble and your hands are too precious for this, how could I? Mu Chenyan smiled. She was indeed a noble in the past, but not entirely. Her mother Yan Mei had high expectations of her, so they often worked on food recipes together in the Mu Family. Chapter 68 - Allergic To Milk

Chapter 68: Allergic To Milk

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Yuan Family was overly strict with the hierarchy system. Since Ah Fus ancestors also worked as helpers of the Yuan Family, she was naturally aware of this social system. Mu Chenyan smiled when she saw Ah Fus reaction, Dont be so nervous, I just want to make some food for the Young Master personally! This reason was sufficient and Ah Fu was relieved. She nodded her head and answered, Then Young Mistress can cook and Ill help you. Although Ah Fu was young, she was a fast and tidy worker. Mu Chenyan prepared the ingredients and Ah Fu cleaned and cut the vegetables carefully. After Ah Fu was done, she waited for Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan tied an apron around her and rolled up her sleeves casually. Then, she started cooking and bustling in the small kitchen. Yuan Xuan was raised in the country, but he spent most of his youth abroad. Thus, Mu Chenyan prepared both Chinese and Western cuisines. She took into ount each vor from both cuisines and spent more than an hour bustling in the kitchen. Yuan Xuan came downstairs after he changed his clothes. His white shirt was spotless and his very well-ironed custom-made trousers wrapped around his long legs as he walked down the stairs. He was fixing his cufflinks as he walked. When he saw a glimpse of the slender figure bustling in the kitchen, he was stunned, then he smiled lightly. Yuan Xuan was walking towards the table right when Mu Chenyan and Ah Fu was cing the dishes on the dining table. The handsome man squinted his slender long eyes and stared at the extremely obedient woman. She was like a little housewife with an apron around her waist as she bustled around todle a bowl of porridge for him. Why didnt you prepare milk? Yuan Xuan looked at the fragrant porridge and asked deliberately. There was a devilishly charming smile on his indescribably handsome face. Ah Fu did not know why did the Young Master ask such a random question, but Mu Chenyan understood. She blushed and did not want to answer him out of frustration because this awful man had other intentions! During their intimate moments together, he hadpared his semen to milk... Ah Fu did not understand the meaning of it, so she quickly exined, I told Young Mistress that Young Master is allergic to milk... Yeah! Someone is allergic to my milk too! Her entire body was trembling... He continued to talk about the topic of milk and Mu Chenyan felt so embarrassed that she was having difficulty in breathing. She wanted to hide in a hole! The way Mu Chenyan tried to cover up her expression made Yuan Xuan realized that she understood the hidden meaning in his words. The man who prevailed instantly felt his mood got better! He pulled out the chair and sat down. This was Mu Chenyans first time observing Yuan Xuan this attentively. She did not think that this handsome man could be this elegant even when he ate breakfast! Food seemed to have turned into a piece of art in his hands. He even needed to cut the fried egg into a perfect shape before putting it into his mouth... Mu Chenyan observed silently at the side and recalled how she was obsessed with him in the past. She used to pester him into having meals with her and he would pay every single time even though she was always the only one eating. He would sit there and watch her eat with a cold look on his face. When she thought about it now, Yuan Xuan never really ate in front of her! Ever since she returned, she often woke upte. Each time she walked out of the bedroom, Yuan Xuan had already eaten breakfast and gone to work. Now, she realized that eating breakfast with him was actually not that bad... Yuan Xuan finished eating and wiped his mouth with a paper towel elegantly. When he saw Mu Chenyan staring at him, he could not help butughed, Whats wrong? Is it difficult to resist looking at such a handsome husband? Such a narcissistic... Mu Chenyan adverted her gaze and said softly, Someone is hopelessly thick-skinned! Yuan Xuan heard her sarcasm and mockery, but he was not mad. Instead, he found it fascinating. When they forgot all about those unspeakable hatreds, their interaction seemed like a flirting and teasing couple. Ah Fu handed Yuan Xuan his tie and suit. Mu Chenyan quickly reached out her hands to receive it and help Yuan Xuan with his tie. Chapter 69 - Tell Me, What Do You Want?

Chapter 69: Tell Me, What Do You Want?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan intertwined the tie and was tying it attentively. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and looked down at her. From his point of view, her long battingshes seemed to be stroking his heart! Mu Chenyan had a faint body scent mixed with the smell of shampoo and it was an unavoidable temptation to Yuan Xuan... He suddenly put his hands around her tiny waist, made her leaned closer to his chest and caressed her tiny ear with his other hand. I really like this pair of obedient ears and I especially love to tell them a good story! Ugh... There was no end to it for this wicked man! Mu Chenyan fixed both of her hands on his shoulder and bit her lips very bashfully. That was because whenever they were in bed, he would whisper embarrassing words into her ears when he ravaged her fiercely. That was what he meant by telling stories into her ears... Yuan Xuan saw her bright red face and he thought of an idea to tease her. He then ordered with a low voice, Im about to leave for work, give me a goodbye kiss! Mu Chenyan was surprised and when she thought about it, she had never taken the initiative to show him any affection. For that moment of hesitation, Yuan Xuan pretended to sound a little angry, If you want me to take the lead... Mu Chenyan was frightened, so she hurriedly tiptoed and put her hands around his neck. She knew that if he were to take the initiative, he might not go to work today! Yuan Xuan smiled in his heart seeing how scared she was. Then, he deliberately put on an arrogant look on his face while he waited for her to take the initiative. Mu Chenyan clearly did not have experience in taking the lead as she thought that a light peck on Yuan Xuans chin was sufficient. However, she did not expect Yuan Xuan to strengthen his grip around her waist and said in dissatisfaction, You call that a kiss? Then... then what do you want? Mu Chenyan was a little annoyed. She saw some stubbles on Yuan Xuans sexy chin and she considered kissing him there as making an effort. At the very least, her lips were a little numb from the stubbles! Why was it not considered a kiss? When Mu Chenyan saw the smile on Yuan Xuans face, she turned her face and did not know where to look! Start over again! Yuan Xuan seemed to have an unreasonable look on his face. Mu Chenyan had no choice but to tiptoe and put her hands around his neck once again. She moved her slightly opened mouth close to his lips and stuck her gentle tongue out like how he did usually... Mu Chenyans small movement triggered an explosion in someones mind! The kiss progressed from a shallow kiss to an overbearingly deep kiss. Mu Chenyan felt her lips being gnawed apart by him! She groaned softly in retaliation. Even though her little hands were ice-cold, her palms were sweaty. By the time Yuan Xuan finally let Mu Chenyan go, her tiny face was already purplish-red from holding her breath in for too long. Tell me, what do you want? Yuan Xuans eyes were slightly cold as he lowered his head to look at the woman who was catching her breath. Suddenly, he held her chin and asked in a low voice. Youve made breakfast and took the initiative to kiss me. You definitely have some other intention. Yuan Xuans tone was unusually calm and his slender dark eyes were fathomless. He had a look on his face which seemed as though he had seen through everything. However, he did not expose her and waited for her to admit it! When he spoiled this woman excessively, she did not even show half of the affection that she had shown today. When they were both together, he was always the one who took the initiative. Now that Mu Chenyan tried so hard to please him, she definitely had an intention! Mu Chenyan was embarrassed from being exposed and she hid from his burning gaze. After she calmed down and took a breath, she said in a hoarse low voice, I want to get Wu Zes name card back! ... Mu Chenyan could not even believe how lucky she was when she was holding the gold-ted name card. Yuan Xuan actually gave it to her. Nheless, that domineering mans words echoed in her ears, You cant escape from me, dont even think about it! Mu Chenyan smiled mockingly. Chapter 70 - What Does It Make Her?

Chapter 70: What Does It Make Her?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan and her love seemed to have never been on the same channel! Previously when she was chasing after him, he avoided her and was very annoyed. However, now he was obsessively overprotective of her and ravaged her fiercely in bed, not allowing her to even be a little unfaithful to him. ... Mu Chenyan kept the name card and thought of something uneasy. The Old Mistress would definitely be very unhappy because Yuan Xuan brought her back halfway through the banquet. Offending the Old Mistress was equivalent to digging ones own grave in the Yuan Family. Yu Lingyun was right, Yuan Xuan might be protecting her now, but it did not mean that he would do so forever! Moreover, she was still in the Yuan Family. As long as she did not leave this ce, she must not offend the Old Mistress! Mu Chenyan thought about it and decided to wait for Yuan Xuan to return from work and go to the Upper Mansion together to apologize. After all, Yuan Xuan was the one who started it, so where could he hide? Mu Chenyan moved theputer to the little garden on the third floor. She was isted from the world for more than two years and it had been a while. She was afraid that there was nothing left of her other than her beauty! The constantly evolving world would not allow her to remain calm andposed. She wanted to blend into the society quickly, so she went on the inte to get to know more about the outside world. It was better than being trapped in this huge mansion and turn into someone elses pet! Mu Chenyan had always been intelligent. Even the leaders and lecturers from her course were sorry that she did not continue her studies in Ennd. Those years, she only had love in her heart and she was ridiculously persistent! Nevertheless, she came to her senses now. There were many more important things and many more ways to live in this world. Love can be important, but it must not be the sole purpose of her life! Mu Chenyan registered an ount online and was nning to write a novel about the journey of her life. She graduated from journalism, so writing was her strong trait! Right now, her priority was to make up for the sses that she missed during the past two years as soon as possible. Fortunately, she was still young and was also a fast learner. During the few days when she was back, she spent all her free time reading books and searching for information. She wanted to get to know about the Yuan Family and find out the truth that she neglected all these years. Within Luo Hai City, few of the sessful aristocratic families were being led by the Yuan Family. Moreover, Luo Hai City was the center to the areas surrounding the city. Thus, it could be said that the Yuan Family possessed half of Country Zs power. Moreover, the Yuan Family had the Capital Citys Shao Family as an alliance. It seemed like the Old Mistress intended to bring Yuan Ran and Shao Yibai together. With this marriage, the Yuan Familys influence would expand extensively. Such a piece of news spread like wildfire during the two years that she disappeared. The inte was filled with overwhelming praises and of course, doubts. Whenbining politics and business, the correct sequence was to have politics before business. However, as the head of the Luo Hai City, the Yuan Family seemed to be a little entric. Yuan Tangzhong was the one who was active on the political scene, whereas Yuan Xuan was the powerful figure in business. Nevertheless, most of the decisions were still decided by Yuan Xuan openly and discreetly. Some of the smarter inte users would have noticed that something was off. An inte user with the username A Flying Fish Riding a Bicycle wrote an article entitled Even though obscure words were used in the article, it was obvious that the discussion was about the Yuan Family. The title of the article was also very open-ended. It provided a tform for everyone to express their views freely. Mu Chenyan browsed through the post and she was truly impressed by such a talented person hidden among the public. The essence of the Yuan Familys problem was Yuan Tangzhongs awkward situation. When she thought about the spections on Yuan Xuans background carefully, it was truly well-grounded and reasoned. Mu Chenyan sunk deep into the chair and pondered deeply. Spections and ideas were forming inside her head! She never paid attention to the rtionship between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family previously. Nheless, now it seemed like there was indeed a cooperative win-win rtionship between Yuan Tangzhong and Mu Feng. Mu Feng was Yuan Tangzhongs right-hand man in the business industry. Yuan Xuan ruining the Mu Family was equivalent to destroying Yuan Tangzhongs path. When Mu Chenyan thought about these, she could not help but shudder. If her spection was true, what does that make her? Did Yuan Xuan approach the Mu Family just to eradicate the Mu Familys stepping stone? When she thought about it further, the Mu Familys only sessor Mu Chenwu was still missing. She was probably still of some use to him! Since her mother and herself were both in Yuan Xuans hand, he was not afraid that Mu Chenwu might not return. This also exined the reason why Yuan Xuan was still keeping her by his side! It was extremely terrifying when she thought about it thoroughly! ! Chapter 71 - Freeing Oneself at Any Time

Chapter 71: Freeing Oneself at Any Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan threaded further into the realm of her own imagination. This woman who had a load on her mind could not even eat her lunch now! Ah Fu became very anxious seeing Mu Chenyans current state. Before Young Master left this morning, both of them were still getting on well. Their intimacy made other people envious as Mu Chenyan had even made breakfast for Young Master. It went without saying that her lively and spirited appearance was extremely charming. So why did the Young Mistresss mood returned to a dull state after this morning? Ah Fu discreetly gave a call to Young Master. The girl did not say much but simply mentioned that Young Mistress had not eaten her lunch. Yuan Xuan was having apany meeting when he received Ah Fus phone call. He quietly asked her a few questions before hanging up. While he stood inside the spacious office on the highest floor of the building that housed the Zhong Heng International Corporation, Yuan Xuan pondered as his dark cold gaze stared into the distance. He had never admitted that Mu Chenyan was his weakness but reality would not allow him to deny this any longer. The changes in her emotions and her every move would affect his judgment and decision-making. Thus, he left her in prison for two years and did not even visit her once before he took action against the Mu Family. His animosity towards Wu Ze was also tinged with remorse. After all, he had personally sent Wu Ze to protect Mu Chenyan. ... Yan Jun knocked the door and entered before he quietly reported to Yuan Xuan and said, Young Master, Ive found the people that you asked me to find and after interrogation, they fully confessed to abusing Young Mistress! When do you want to punish them? A ruthless and tyrannical look seeped through Yuan Xuans dark gaze. After a moment of contemtion, he grunted and slowly said, In a few days, bring along Young Mistress. Naturally, Mu Chenyan would need to personally deal with this group who had tortured her because only then could her internal rage be extinguished. Also, the clues that were leading us towards Mu Chenwu have been cut off because he was too cunning. He managed to cast off our people before he escaped again! Yan Juns voice was filled with regret as he apologized for his own setbacks. You cant catch him so easily. Keep a close monitor on the movements at Luo Hais borders and send more people to the hospital to keep an eye on Mistress Yan. Dont give him an opportunity toe into contact with Chenyan! Yuan Xuan coldly said. Yan Jun nodded and exited the room. Yuan Xuan noted that it was still early but he kept his things and prepared to return home because he was worried about the woman! ... Instead of Yuan Xuan, Ah Fu received Fifth Miss arrival instead. Yuan Tian loudlyined that she was terribly thirsty the moment she entered. Mu Chenyan quickly instructed Ah Fu to prepare tea before the both of them went to the terrace on the third floor together to enjoy themselves. Chenyan, you dont know that the ce called Tai Chuan is simply a deste and barren area! Theres only a little town thats dozens of kilometers away! Those old schrs were simply insensitive to choose to have a meeting there. However, if theyd decided to have it in Maldives, I wouldntin even if they made me stay there for a month... Yuan Tian grumbled while drinking. After attending a three-day seminar in Tai Chuan and being stuck in a vast and remote mountain area with a hignd climate during those days, she had turned a shade darker from being suntanned. However, she had never been very fair skinned from the start... Among the youngdies of the aristocratic families who were as fair as jade, Yuan Tian had relied on her healthy wheat-coloredplexion to bravely carve out her own path. Her skin tone was truly a beautiful and healthy tanned shade that was even sought out by the Victorias Secret Angels! Moreover, Yuan Tians beauty was already unique and possessed a certain aggressive nature. Her body proportions did not even need to be mentioned as one look of her baby face on its own made it obvious that she was a beauty who was carefully sculpted by God. Mu Chenyan felt that Yuan Tians beauty was slightly more exceptional inparison to Yuan Ran because it could be imprinted in the minds of others with a single nce. However, Yuan Tian was not an ordinary high society socialite. In a nutshell, the main reason for this was because she was easily susceptible to breaking free as she pleased... Yuan Tian was also a unique individual in a household with strict domestic rules and clear rankings like the Yuan Family. Aside from her fear of Yuan Xuan, the Fifth Miss was perhaps the only person who did not care about any of the family rules or other peoples opinions. She could free herself any time... Chapter 72 - You Have Really Caused a Lot of Trouble

Chapter 72: You Have Really Caused a Lot of Trouble

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The current situation could be used as an example. 1 As she drunk the tea that Mu Chenyan had made, Yuan Tians small bare feet were already ced on the table! She managed to visit the highest floor of this little building, something that she could rarely do on a normal basis. Moreover, when she saw that Yuan Xuan was not at home, this girl was beside herself with joy. She wore a pair of sky blue-colored jeans and a cropped top that revealed her navel and showing off her taut and firm belly. She had probably already heard about the incident where Mu Chenyan personally exposed Feng Rao during the banquet. She quickly spat out some words and said, Feng Rao that little slut! The next time I see that little slut Feng Rao, Im gonna beat her and her older brother up! Mu Chenyan was stunned. For a while, she could notprehend why and how Feng Raos brother was also involved in this. Seeing Mu Chenyan shocked, Yuan Tian bashfully smiled and exined, A short while before you returned, Feng Zhi and his gang of scoundrels were drinking in a bar. When they saw me and a few of my colleagues there, they dared to lustfully catcall me! Ptooey... The mouthful of tea that Mu Chenyan had yet to swallow ended up sputtering across her entire body! She coughed whileughing as her tears continuously flowed out. Yuan Tian had learned mixed martial arts when she was eight years old and would be sent to the army to participate in summer training camps during her summer vacation every year... One could only imagine how terrible Feng Zhis fate would be! Id merely served him a few flying kicks but that jerk was so weak. Two of his rib bones broke and he even said that he had a concussion from getting kicked! Yuan Tian said in a slightly annoyed manner. We sent him to my dads hospital where they saved him but my dad was so mad that he wanted to punch me... Yuan Tians tone softened. Yuan Tian was clearly somewhat dejected while her big ck eyes were filled with grief. My dad has always been like this! Ever since I was young, hes always said that Im unlike the other members of the Yuan Family because Im always impulsive! My grandmother especially has always treated me as aplete eyesore... Well, you did really cause a lot of trouble! Mu Chenyan said while gently smiling. Inparison to Yu Lingyun, Feng Rao, and the others, Yuan Tian was too frank with her true feelings. Thats why they sent me to the army when they couldnt control me anymore. They used the pretense of training but in reality, they were hoping that I would experience some hardships and change my ways. When the time came, I would also be a socialite just like Yuan Ran! Yuan Tianined in a dissatisfied manner and angrily said, I dont care whether Im a socialite or not! Ill be free and happilyfortable even if I remain unmarried for the rest of my life! Mu Chenyan was overjoyed when she heard this. Youre nning to live your life as a spinster? You dont know how many of Luo Hais men will die from sadness because of that! Furthermore, your brothers wont willingly allow you to spend your entire life sponging off the Yuan Family. When she heard Mu Chenyan making fun of her, Yuan Tian foolishly smiled and said, Even if I were to find a husband, Id have to look for one like Brother Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan smiled while shaking her head. This girl still had a childlike temperament at the end of the day. Unfortunately, your brother is already taken. Yuan Xuan had coincidentally overheard his younger cousin talking about him when he reached the foot of the stairs. This man has a noble nature and an extraordinary bearing. Thus, it was no surprise that even his sister would feel that her future husband should be this type of man. Yuan Tian was so shocked that she immediately jumped and leaped off the chair while her feet were still bare... Third Brother, you... Why is it that you dont make any noise when you walk... You scared me to death... Yuan Tian stuttered. However, Mu Chenyan could not understand why Yuan Tian was so scared of that man. Yuan Xuans expression was indifferent as he ignored his sister and immediately rushed to Mu Chenyan and held her in his arms. He used a rebuking tone and asked her, Why didnt you eat properly in the afternoon? Yourplexion recently became somewhat rosy again so why are you doing this now? Hmm? Yuan Tian rolled her eyes as she was caught off-guard by this unexpected public disy of affection! Chapter 73 - The Second Instance of a Public Display of Affection

Chapter 73: The Second Instance of a Public Disy of Affection

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion From Mu Chenyans sight of view, she could see Yuan Tian pretending to be choking, rolling her eyes, sticking her tongue out, making ugly faces, rolling about, stomping her feet, and thumping her chest because of the public disy of affection... She was already embarrassed when this was done in private but now that Yuan Xuan was acting like this in front of his own cousin sister, she was mortified! I... Im not that hungry... I was waiting for you toe home so that we could eat together! Mu Chenyans face blushed fiercely red while she mumbled as her brain had already turned to mush. Oh? Is my wife saying that she cant eat if she doesnt see me? In that case, would it be better if I came home to have lunch with you instead of eating at work in the afternoon? When the young and handsome heir of the Yuan Family acted like this and humbled himself to spoil his wife despite his noble status, it was enough to bring someone to their knees. Mu Chenyan was terribly shocked by this side of Yuan Xuan! Meanwhile, Yuan Xuans second instance of a public disy of affection turned Yuan Tian into aplete mess behind him again. Brother, you never bothered to mind the feelings of a single person like me engaging in this public disy of affection... After tossing about for a while, Yuan Tian barely abled to restrain herself and quietlyining. Didnt you say that youd be free and happilyfortable even if you remained unmarried for the rest of your life? However, it seems like youre having a hard time now after witnessing other peoples public disys of affection now. Yuan Xuan coldly said before a frosty re that was as sharp as a de shed across his dark almond-shaped eyes andpletely shot Yuan Tian down. Her brother had suddenly turned hostile too quickly. What kind of person would treat his wife so tenderly but turn around and shoot a death re at his sister? Seeing the girl pouted her lips unhappily and looked as though she was about to cry, Mu Chenyan discreetly pinched Yuan Xuans arm. Hmph! You only know how to start fights all the time. If we could just solve problems with our fists, why would we need our brains? I have a hundred different ways of destroying the Feng Family but Ive never had to even think of using my fists! Yuan Xuan turned around while coldly chiding Yuan Tian. This man whose height was already an obvious advantage now acted in a cold manner as he arrogantly looked down. The oppressive feeling from the innate noble aura that he gave off was terribly frightening. One could well imagine how terrified his opponents would be when this man was striving for something on the market. The girl lowered her head even further while her little hands were twisted in a knot. She sounded as if she was in a tight spot when she whispered, I used my legs, not my fists... Yuan Xuans expression worsened before he angrily rebuked her and said, How many times have I pleaded for leniency on your behalf in front of Grandmother? If it werent for me, youd still be stuck in the army now. If you keep stirring up trouble, I think that you shouldnt even hope to return anymore! Yuan Tians tears were rolling about in her eyes now. Mu Chenyans heart ached when she saw this. This girl sincerely worshiped her brother but Yuan Xuan was not being sensitive to her feelings at all. It was not surprising that she was so terribly scared of Yuan Xuan. Even if that b*stard Feng Zhi revealed your identity as one of the youngdies of the Yuan Family, his scoundrels would never dare to touch a single hair on your head. Why did you have to kick him and make a scene only for half of Luo Hais residents to discover that the Yuan Familys Fifth Miss fought someone in a bar and up-skirted herself, exposing the ckce panties she wore underneath?! Huh? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan could no longer restrain herself before augh escaped her lips. Yuan Tian had only told her that she had hit Feng Zhi and angered her father. However, she had not recounted the events with such detail. Seeing Mu Chenyan reveling in her misfortune, Yuan Tian truly felt as if she was going to die when her brother had bluntly revealed this humiliating incident of hers. Her little face sobbed while she rushed over to Yuan Xuan and said, Id only drank a little bit of your tea, ate some of your fruits, and put my feet on your table! Did you really have to publicly expose my embarrassing moment? Hmph... Chapter 74 - It Looked Like This Girl Was Not Stupid

Chapter 74: It Looked Like This Girl Was Not Stupid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan momentarily red at her before he continued coldly, Yuan Ran isnt even a year older than you but Old Mistress has already arranged a marriage for her. Im afraid that youre next, so you should do as you see fit. If you kick up a fuss, beware that our grandmother might send you to the frontier and arrange a marriage alliance between you and a foreigner. It just so happens that youll make a little contribution for Country Z and its borders. Yuan Tian cried out before she covered her mouth in shock. Her big ck eyes looked at Yuan Xuan in disbelief but it seemed as though the things he said were about to turn into reality soon! In her heart, Mu Chenyan felt anxious and appalled as well! There were previous instances of this indeed. The ancient borders of Country Z had been unstable for many years and they had previously used the method of arranged marriages with the youngdies of the aristocratic families to solve the problem of unrest. However, these were matters that were done during their ancestors time. Were they still being used now? Both of the young women were suddenly shocked. They were not worried about being sent off to their arranged marriages like the ancient princesses. On the contrary, they were worried that Old Mistress would actually marry Yuan Tian off to a random family. What would she do then? Brother, I know that you love me the most in this house! You have to say many good things on my behalf in front of our grandmother. I dont want to marry a hairy foreigner... Yuan Tian resembled a little squirrel when she sped her small hands in front and gestured in a praying motion. Yuan Tian was not mistaken. Indeed, Yuan Xuan was the person who protected her the most in this house. Even her own brother Yuan Zhuan had never been so tolerant or considerate towards his little sister. Yuan Zhuan was naturally cowardly and behaved in a somewhat stiff manner. He never dared to object to his grandmother. Since he was never brave enough to intercede for Yuan Tian every time his younger sister got into an argument, Yuan Xuan would have to boldly step forward instead. As Yuan Xuan was favored by Old Mistress and could even make his grandmother happy in a roundabout way, he was naturally able to help Yuan Tian a bit more. It looked like this girl was not stupid because she could read other peoples true thoughts. Yuan Xuan sighed and advised Yuan Tian, Dont stir up any trouble now and stoping here all the time. Old Mistress is worried that you two sisters-inw will turn the Yuan Family upside down when you hang out together! When Mu Chenyan heard this, her heart became extremely uneasy as she recalled the discrimination that she faced during the previous days banquet. Yuan Tian sneaked a nce at Mu Chenyan and unhappilyined, Ill bear the brunt of my own problems without involving Chenyan... Im not worried about you involving her but since Chenyan has recently returned, itd be better for her not to make our grandmother angry! Yuan Xuan exined while suppressing his temper. He was speaking the truth! At least he had already experienced itst night. Mu Chenyan gently smiled and reached her hand out to take the watering can on the side. She watered the Hope Bamboo Basket with some rainwater that was prepared earlier before she sighed and said, This flower never belonged here. Despite how well I care for it, it can never beat itspanions that remained in the ce where it should have grown... Yuan Xuan could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind her words. He faintly lowered his gaze as a sense of uneasiness secretly surged in his heart. ... After Yuan Xuan had chased Yuan Tian away, he forced Mu Chenyan to eat numerous things before the both of them prepared to go to Upper Mansion to visit his grandmother. Mu Chenyan had visited the Yuan Family Mansion many times but the number of asions when she stepped foot in Upper Mansion were extremely limited. Moreover, she was always apanied by her father during these rare asions when he came to visit Old Mistress during the new year. That time, Mu Chenyan was a cheerful and lively girl who was as cute as a little rabbit... Old Mistress had also treated her in a respectful manner before Mu Feng and she was not stingy with herpliments for Mu Chenyan. Thus, she felt that Upper Mansion was as magnificent as a pce at that time and did not feel oppressed at all. However, returning to this ce today, Mu Chenyan felt truly repulsed towards everything around her... The three floors from the top to the bottom of the old mansion were constructed in apact manner. There were two halls on the first floor and therger front hall was the one that Old Master had used to entertain visitors or important guests when he was still alive. After Old Master died, the front hall essentially became a ce where Grandmother would think of Grandfather on her own. It was no longer open to anyone else after that. On the side was a smaller hall that was half of the front halls size. The light gold wallpaper reflected a warm and gentle presence. The antique racks on both sides were arranged with some of Old Masters porcin and jade items that he had collected in his youth. Coming here now, her feelings werepletely different from those of the past. Chapter 75 - Clearly Filled with Jealousy

Chapter 75: Clearly Filled with Jealousy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan followed Yuan Xuan into the side room where his grandmother was happily chatting to a few people including Yuan Tangzhong and his wife Xue Meiwei, Yuan Tangshuos wife Lu Shan, Yuan Zhe, and his wife. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness that first stirred in the pit of her stomach before traveling to the tips of her toes. This anxiety caused her to freeze in ce as she became too afraid to move forward... When Wen Ya saw that Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan had arrived, she waved and greeted Chenyan. Simrly, when Yuan Zhe who was beside her then spotted them, a warm smile spread across his lips. Mu Chenyan had already met with the other elders when she attended the banquet. However, since Lu Shan had not attended the banquet, she pointed at Mu Chenyan and remarked, Tian Tian told me that she had already rushed over to visit you multiple times since your return, Chenyan. Girl, you mustve suffered while you were there! Lu Shan treated Mu Chenyan as if she were Yuan Tian and spoke to her in a loving tone. Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of her own mother. She was an elegant and gorgeous woman who had always been very affectionate as well. Im fine, Third Aunt, is all in the past. How are you? Mu Chenyans gentle tone and obedient manner made her the type of good daughter-inw that elders liked. Morever, Mu Chenyans eyes were now filled with tenderness, unlike when she was dull and indifferent with Yuan Xuan. The corners of Yuan Xuans mouth curled into a faint smile when he watched this woman from the side. Lu Shan smiled and replied, Im fine. Seeing you return has delighted your aunts heart because Tian Tian finally has a friend again. You have to teach her well C that girls unruliness is too hard to manage. Itd be good enough for her to pick up on even half of your personality. When Yuan Tian heard her mother humiliate her in this manner, she unhappily scoffed twice. However, glimmers of joy appeared in her eyes as she sneakily grinned at Mu Chenyan. Old Mistress Yuan remained silent all this while. After the several people wrapped up their small talk, the side hall descended into silence. Yuan Xuan stepped forward and held his grandmothers hand before he quietly spoke, Little Xuan drank a bit too much duringst nights banquet. I asked Chenyan to apany me home, but forgot to inform Grandmother before I left. Youre not upset with Little Xuan, right? When this handsome man behaved like a spoiled child, it was sickeningly sweet! Mu Chenyan mocked him in her heart. He had clearly been filled with jealousy at the time, but instead med it on the alcohol... Old Mistress feigned anger and replied, Dont let it happen again. There are no benefits to drinking excessive amounts of alcohol! Yuan Xuan nodded continuously as she jokingly scolded him. At this moment, Yuan Zhuan and his little sister Yuan Ran were also present, causing the side hall to immediately be lively. Mu Chenyan looked over and wondered to himself if all of the heads of the Yuan Family had been called over, regardless of their ranking. Was a major announcement about to be made? When Old Mistress saw that everyone besides the bookworm, Yuan Tangshuo was present and ounted for, she instructed Butler Fu to serve everyone their tea. Then, she cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, I called everyone over because I have two things to say. Yuan Ran blushed before sneakily ncing at her grandmother, clearly unable to suppress her excitement. Little Ran isnt young anymore, and as a youngdy of an aristocratic family, she should have found and decided on a marriage partner. During yesterdays banquet, I noticed that she seemed like a good match with the Shao Familys son. Thus, both of them should spend some time with each other, and well see how things go from there. Little Xuan, since youre closer to Yibai, Ill hand this matter over to you and let you contact him. Yuan Xuan nodded, fully aware that his grandmother intended to control Shao Yibai. However, the main issue now was with regards to Shao Yibais side. He was afraid that they would not ept an arranged marriage from their family so easily. Nheless, Yuan Xuan nodded in agreement. When Yuan Ran saw her brother nodding, she gave a sigh of relief. One could easily tell that she was satisfied with Shao Yibai in numerous ways... Yuan Tian who stood by the side secretly stuck her tongue out and rolled her eyes at Yuan Ran. Nearby, Mu Chenyan read Yuan Tians lips and saw her say, All her life, she was just hoping to get married to a good man and just be done with it... Mu Chenyan lowered her head and stifled a smallugh. Yuan Tians current temperament made it difficult for her to imagine how stern she needed to be when she held the scalpel and stood before her patients. On the other hand, Old Mistresspletely ignored Yuan Tians weird behavior. She nced at Yuan Xuan before looking at Mu Chenyan and continued saying, Theres one more thing. Id like to introduce this child to everyone... Butler Fu heard this and went upstairs for a brief moment before leisurelying down with a girl in tow. When he did this, everyone other than Yuan Xuan inhaled a breath of air while Wen Ya and Yuan Ran simultaneously eximed, Qinger! Chapter 76 - Back from the Dead

Chapter 76: Back from the Dead

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The woman standing before them was Shu Qinger, there was no doubt about it! Pictures of the bloody scene slowly shed into the heads of the people looking at the graceful and delicate woman standing in front of them... Everyone present knew Shu Qinger, so it was not surprising that Wen Ya and Yuan Ran would scream her name out of shock. Yuan Tian herself was a doctor, so she had a certainposure when faced with sudden emergencies. She coldly eyed Shu Qinger and wondered about the purpose of her sudden appearance. She was back from the dead, but what was she trying to pull? Mu Chenyans entire body went cold as her arms started shuddering uncontrobly. Unlike Wen Ya and Yuan Ran, it was not due to the fear of seeing someone back from the dead, but it was due to shbacks of the past two years as well as all the suffering and misfortunes she had endured that came as a result of her rtion to this woman! Because of her death, Mu Chenyan had been wrongly imprisoned for two years, and the Mu Family was broken up... However, Shu Qinger was now standing in front of her in perfect condition; her eyes were vibrant and her posture rxed, with a sweet and innocent smile on her face. Yuan Tangzhong was someone of a high position, hence he was much more level-headed. He tugged at his mistress sleeves and shook his head, signalling for her to not to say a word. However, Yuan Zhe, who stood on the other side, was not so calm. He was the first to speak out, his voice quivering as if he had just seen a ghost, Grandmother, what... whats going on... Old Mistress Yuan did not immediately reply. Instead, she observed everyones reaction before locking her sights on Mu Chenyan. After seeing Old Mistress staring at her, Mu Chenyan suddenly understood where the feeling of uneasiness hade from when she had first stepped foot into this side hall. All the things that had been unfolding here had probably been specially arranged by Old Mistress for her... Meanwhile, Yuan Xuans sharp gaze was fixed on Shu Qinger, and he slowly remarked, Shes not Qinger. Qingers dead. After saying this, he embraced Mu Chenyan. His broad shoulders were like a wall protecting her as his warm and dry hands clutched her trembling hands. Everyone looked at each other as they could not help but specte inwardly. It was obvious to all that this girl was Shu Qinger, but after hearing what Yuan Xuan had said, they became confused. Furthermoe, upon hearing Yuan Xuans statement, the one who was most surprised was none other than Mu Chenyan! She had thought that Yuan Xuan had a special ce in his heart for Shu Qinger. After all, they were well-known to be childhood sweethearts. Shouldnt he be the happiest upon seeing his dearly beloved back from the dead? However, this mans reaction was overly nd -venomous, even, going so far as to say that this was not Shu Qinger. If that was the case, then who was she? Ruoxin,e here. Let me introduce you to everyone! Having kept everyone in suspense, Old Mistress Yuan finally referred to the girl as Ruoxin! Grandmother... The girl, who was called Ruoxin sweetly responded and approached Old Mistress. Her expression and demeanor were exactly the same as Shu Qinger! Ruoxin swept her gaze across the room before finally stopping on Yuan Xuan. No woman would be able to resist Yuan Xuans charm if they caught sight of him. Moreover, the temperament and aura of this man were not cultivated overnight. Yuan Xuans life was destined to be extraordinary to be lived out under the spotlight, resulting in the the inherently kingly demeanor he carried. Mu Chenyan saw the amazement in Ruoxins eyes when she first locked onto him. After all, appetite and libido are human nature! 1 Yuan Xuans enchanting radiance catching the attention of the opposite sex was not something new to her. This excellent man was destined to be a roaring me that woman would rush head-first into, like moths. Once upon a time, she was one of these moths, Shu Qinger was no different. Now, Ruoxin was probably the same too. Old Mistress Yuan ced her hand on Ruoxins shoulder and began to speak, This girls name is Ruoxin. Shes the younger twin sister of the deceased Qinger. It turns out this had nothing to do with necromancy! The few women, whose face had turned white from shock earlier on let out a long sigh. At the same time, they were curious about this younger twin sister. Chapter 77 - With Regards to the Shu Qinger Incident, Was She Not a Victim?

Chapter 77: With Regards to the Shu Qinger Incident, Was She Not a Victim?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Now, regarding us raising Qinger in the Yuan Family in the past, all of you were only aware of one aspect of it but not the whole story... As Old Mistress Yuan spoke, she motioned at Butler Fu to bring a stool over for Zhao Ruoxin to sit beside her. Among those who were present, the oldest one next to Old Mistress was Yuan Tangzhong. The refined, elegant man pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose and sized up Zhao Ruoxin before asking, Mother, could this child be the one who Zhao Yanni had brought away? The one with heart disease? It looked like Yuan Tangzhong knew about some of the inside stories that the younger generation had no idea of! Old Mistress Yuan nodded, her silver hair glinting in the light. This autocratic woman appeared to be somewhat sorrowful at the moment. She lovingly stroked Zhao Ruoxins hands and continued saying, Qinger and Xiner are twins. Unfortunately, Xiner was born with serious heart disease. The Shu Family back then was a wealthy and influential family. Even though the child had heart disease, getting her treatment was not a big deal. However, Zhao Ruoxin did not appear before the public, which indicated that there had to have been a certain secret in the Shu Family that the public was unaware of. After Zhao Yanni gave birth to the two children, Shu Heng found out that she was having an affair with the family doctor. Old Mistress Yuan casually mentioned it, but these kinds of incidents in prestigious families were horrifically scandalous! Upon discovering this, Shu Heng forced Zhao Yanni out of the house and divorced her without leaving her any possessions. Zhao Yanni was resistant, and she went to the house to causing a scene numerous times with the intention of getting back at least one of her children. Around that time, it was discovered that Shu Xiner was a child with a congenital disorder, hence, the Shu Family agreed for her to take only Xiner away, but Qinger was to remain in the family. And just like that, the twin sisters were broken up to be cared for separately. The childs name was then changed to Zhao Ruoxin. What happened next was already known by both the young and the old of the Yuan Family. The Shu Familys grandmother had been my best friend since I was little. When this incident happened, she was so stressed out that she became psychologically unwell, causing her health to deteriorate day by day. When Qinger was four years old, Shu Heng found new love. He married a new wife and had other children of their own. The Shu Familys grandmother was worried that due to Qingers young age, she would receive lots of unfair treatment in the future. Hence, before she was about to die, she entrusted the child to the Yuan Familys care... Upon mentioning the early death of her dear friend, Old Mistress Yuans face became gloomy and her voice trailed off. Zhao Ruoxin hurriedlyforted her in a low voice, If Grandmothers spirit is in heaven, she wouldnt want to see Grandmother Yuan so sad... The girls obedient voice was pleasant to the ear, and Mu Chenyan fell into a trance for a moment, as if she was listening to the same lovely and cute Shu Qinger from back then... Old Mistress Yuan used her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes and patted Ruoxins small hands, remarking sentimentally, Initially, I was thinking of having here over here after Little Xuans parents had passed away. This was to first, fulfill your grandmothers wish, and second, since Qinger and Little Xuans age were about the same, I figured the two could apany each other as they grow up. Furthermore, if they liked each other, it would also be beneficial for us to be inws. When she mentioned bing rtives through marriage, Mu Chenyan could not help but sneak a peek at Yuan Xuan. This man was still very calm at the moment, as if what Grandmother was talking about had nothing to with him. Who would have thought that such a horrible event would take ceter on? Qingers dead, and with that, Ive regretfully let your grandmother down... Old Mistress gradually became more upset as she spoke, her voice began to shake before she started weeping. The whole family panicked, and everyone rushed tofort her. Zhao Ruoxin also recalled the memories of the past and began to snivel alongside the maternal figure. With that, the side hall burst intomotion! Mother, all this is in the past now. Theres no need for you to be this upset anymore. Yuan Tangzhong consoled. The two inws also spoke words offort, while Wen Ya and Yuan Ran looked each other in the eye, clearly unsure of what to do. This was especially so for Wen Ya, whose face had turned pale... Of the group, only Mu Chenyans expression was ice-cold, as she motionlessly watched the old and young cry together. Even Yuan Xuan, who was by her side, had left to go console Grandmother... However, with regards to the Shu Qinger incident, was she not a victim? Did she not pay a terrible price in exchange for this unrecognized and unblessed marriage? Now, this younger sister, who looked exactly the same as Shu Qinger, was standing before her. It was as if she was staring at her old love rivals reincarnation. Didnt the Heavens have mercy? Chapter 78 - Ruoxin Will Be Staying at My Place

Chapter 78: Ruoxin Will Be Staying at My ce

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Old Mistress Yuan had wept for some time, her mood improved slightly and her tears gradually began to stop flowing under her rtivesforting. Zhao Ruoxin, who was sitting by her side, also quietened down, her tender and amiable expression was really adorable. Mu Chenyan was actually struggling a little, unsure of whether to go forward tofort Grandmother like the rest. She grappled with this question for a brief moment before soundly dismissing it. In this household, the person who had the least right was her. Furthermore, others knew how to console, but she had no idea what to say. Eventually, Old Mistress finally calmed down, but when she looked up and saw Mu Chenyan still standing on the same spot with an indifferent manner, she became angered. From now on, Ruoxin will be staying at my ce, and all of you are to treat her the same as you would Qinger! Old Mistress suddenly ordered as she shot a nce at Mu Chenyan. Everyone present was stunned. Firstly, Zhao Ruoxin was by no means a child, and whether or not it was appropriate for her to stay with the Yuan Family was up for question. Second, and more importantly, her appearance alone, which was exactly the same as Shu Qinger who had died tragically, would cause one to feel exceptionally ufortable! Shu Qinger was once known as Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart. What would outsiders think now that the younger twin sister was recing the older sibling to live in the Yuan Family? Everyones gaze fell upon Yuan Xuan. At this moment, the one feeling most awkward was probably this proud and aloof man! Everyone had thought their loving marriage would be an unshakable matter C it might as well have been carved in stone. In the end, Qinger died tragically, and now, Qingers younger sister was here. Old Mistress Yuans intentions could not be more obvious. However, what would happen to Mu Chenyan? Yuan Xuan was silent, his obsidian pupils so dark and deep that the others could not read his thoughts, his gaze sharp and grim. He was well-known to be cold to those on the outside as well as on the inside, unweing to everyone! Mother, such an act might not be appropriate... Yuan Tangzhong suddenly spoke up. He had just reached a peak in his political career, and the slightest bit of negative opinion on the Yuan Family would affect him greatly. He did not want his nephews love affairs to affect the Yuan Family and his overall interest. Whats there to say about whether its appropriate or not? Old Mistress Yuan was clearly dissatisfied with her sons defiance. When he heard this, Yuan Tangzhong was at a loss for words, and he dared not speak further. Mother, please calm down. If you like this girl, you can have here over whenever you wish. What Tangzhong meant was that the Shu Family is the proper ce for the child to be. If she stays here, how are we to exin the matter to Shu Heng? Xue Meiwei hurriedly tried to calm things down, but clearly siding with her husband. Thats right, Grandmother. Before this, Third Young Master and Qingers rtionship was wildly publicized by the media. If Miss Zhao stays at our ce, people might gossip about... Even Wen Ya, who had always been gentle and considerate, helped her parents-inw oppose Old Mistress. Ruoxin is homeless now. The Yuan Family has wronged her sister, how can we cast her out now in her time of need? After seeing everyone expressing their dissatisfaction despite Yuan Xuan himself not dissaproving, Old Mistress Yuan became so infuriated that she threw the teacup onto the ground! Everyone was shocked and dared not move nor made a sound. They had no idea that Zhao Ruoxin was homeless. Although Luo Hais Shu Family was not as powerful as the Yuan Family, it was also an aristocratic household, and Zhao Ruoxin was, after all, the Shu Familys very own flesh and blood. When Zhao Ruoxin saw that everyone was opposing her integration into the household, she began to snivel. She sobbed and tried her best to control her breathing as she said, Grandmother, dont get angry because of me. Xiner will move out tomorrow. And dont worry about my mothers medical fees, Ill think of a way. Even though the Shu Family has rejected us, Ill make sure we wont die of hunger on the streets. We cant cause the young and old of the Yuan Family to be in disharmony just because of us. As soon as Zhao Ruoxin started crying, the whole situation became chaotic. Old Mistress Yuans heart trembled as she held her hands. Dont worry, let me first see who has no conscience to dare force you out! Those who had voiced out earlier were on the second sons side, but now they had all been branded by Old Mistress as without a conscience! Lets just do as Grandmother has suggested! Yuan Xuans deep and powerful voice sounded out all of a sudden, causing the chaotic crowd to fall dead silent Grandmother wants to have her stay here, so just let her stay here. The Yuan Family has a vast fortune, and its not as if we cant afford to support a pair of mother and daughter. If we chase them away, wouldnt we be theughing stock of the city? Whats more, the Shu Family has a rtionship with the Yuan Family, and the Shu Familys grandmothers dying request hasnt been fulfilled. Qingers early passing has been causing Old Mistress distress for the longest time now. If Miss Ruoxin stays with us, hopefully Grandmother will findfort in it. Yuan Xuan spoke and nced at Mu Chenyan who was by his side. This woman was currently as calm as water, and her expressionless face showed no hints of what she was thinking. What more, when Yuan Xuan looked at her, a vague smile creeped up from the corners of Mu Chenyans mouth... Chapter 79 - Welcoming a Troublemaker into the House?

Chapter 79: Weing a Troublemaker into the House?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Old Mistress Yuan clearly did not expect Yuan Xuan to agree with her at this moment. She was overjoyed. Little Xuan is the most sensible one. The rest of you, stand aside! Zhao Ruoxin stood up and wiped away her tears. She looked at Yuan Xuan with a delighted expression, her pretty face blushing. Thank you, Brother Xuan! Zhao Ruoxin said cautiously. As she spoke, she cast a nce at Mu Chenyan who was standing by the side. Mu Chenyan ignored the other partys subtle provocation and leaned in closer to Yuan Xuan. However, Yuan Tian, who had been silent all this while, could not hold it in any longer. She saw that Mu Chenyan was acting cowardly and oblivious by not objecting. Wouldnt letting this woman live here be the equivalent of weing a troublemaker into the house? Yuan Tianmented in a low voice, Brother Xuan? Thats an awfully familiar way of addressing him. Are you very close with Third Brother? Zhao Ruoxinsplexion changed, and she ashamedly lowered her head. At the same time, her eyes began to water. Old Mistress Yuan red at Yuan Tian and snarled, Youre speaking out of turn! Yuan Tian refused to back down, and she maintained a polite and humble tone as she spoke, Grandmother, of the three brothers in the Yuan Family, Eldest Brother already has Sister-inw Wen Ya, while Third Brother has Sister-inw Chenyan. You arent thinking of keeping this girl here for Second Brother, are you? Lu Shan was so appalled that she quickly tugged at her daughter. Stop talking nonsense! Yuan Zhuan, who was standing by the side had suddenly been dragged into the crossfire. He was terrified, and he secretly waved his hand at Yuan Tian to stop. Mother, didnt you just hear Grandmother exin that because of the friendship between her and the Shu Familys grandmother, she had Qinger stay at our home with the intention of letting her marry into the Yuan Family? Qinger encountered a tragedyter on, but now theres a recement. Since the other elder brothers are already married, who else can she marry other than Brother Yuan Zhuan? Yuan Tian was outspoken and straightforward. She held nothing back as she immediately cause everyone to feel rather awkward. Lu Shan, on the other hand, was almost about to cry out of embarrassment. You little ancestor, continue spouting nonsense and you will be the death of your father and I! Mother, Im only speaking the truth. Brother Yuan Zhuan already has someone in his heart. Hasnt Nan Sheng gotten your recognition? You cant be asking for Sister-inw Wen Ya and Chenyan to give way to her, right? While speaking, a smirk formed on Yuan Tians face, as if she were saying dream on. Zhao Ruoxin bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry again... In my opinion, since Grandmother remains nostalgic about the old friendship and holds on to her old friends request, and considering the fact that the Yuan Family has a vast fortune, it wont matter if we hold one less property. Wouldnt giving one of the Yuan Familys property to Miss Zhao be a better option? Why must she live in the mansion? Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Tian and suddenly understood the uniqueness of this girl in the familyamid the old and trite family regtions, Yuan Tian was still able to keep her conscience! However, she had forgotten that allowing Zhao Ruoxin to stay here was not only Grandmothers wish, but that Yuan Xuan had also supported the idea. Mu Chenyan knew that Grandmother had her own selfish motives regarding todays arrangement, but Yuan Tian might suffer some form of punishment by exposing her n so brutally. Unexpectedly, however, Old Mistress did not re up but instead merely sighed. The people in the side hall immediately held their breath. Old Mistress Yuan stood up, looked at her children and grandchildren by her side, and said inly, The n Tian Tian has mentioned is not something Ive not considered before. Its just that Ruoxin seeking shelter at the Yuan Family is really because she has exhausted all other options. The ordinary people did not have Yuan Tians courage and were used toplying with whatever Old Mistress said. Even though they might notprehend her thinking, they still would not dare to raise any questions. Seeing that everyone had their doubts and yet were not saying anything, Old Mistress continued. Ruoxin found a suitable heart donor and had just undergone surgery, while Zhao Yanni is mentally deranged and has been admitted to a psychiatric ward. True enough, Zhao Ruoxin began to snivel again. Her eyes were by now slightly red and swollen, causing everyone who looked at her to feel sympathetic. My foster father is a gambler and owed some loan sharks a huge debt. When he realized that the people in the casino had cheated him, he fought with them and beat the people in the casino to death. These peopleter threatened to seek out my mother and I for revenge. We were so scared that we fled from City C back to Luo Hai. As Zhao Ruoxin wept, her small hands continuously wiped her tears away. The area around her eyes were soon smudged with makeup. Chapter 81 - Severely Entangled

Chapter 81: Severely Entangled

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Mu Chenyan was not happy about Yuan Xuan letting Zhao Ruoxin stay at the Yuan Family Mansion, she did not show her feelings. Back at the Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan sat in the tea room on the first floor and ordered Ah Fu to bring him a bottle of red wine while Mu Chenyan quietly went upstairs to wash up. After a long time, Yuan Xuan headed upstairs and saw Mu Chenyan wearing cream-colored silk pajamas, sitting on the wooden fabric sofa whilst using herptop. The light from theptop screen shone onto her pretty face, making it look as white as jade. Her swan-like neck was as white as snow, and her steady breathing caused her chest to rise and fall rhythmically. She was engrossed with herptop, her slender fingers lightly tapping away at the keyboard, totally unaware of her surroundings. Yuan Xuan leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets. His gaze seemed unconcerned, but his eyes were like a ck hole, where just the slightest glimpse of them might cause one to be endlessly absorbed in them... When Mu Chenyan realized that Yuan Xuan was watching her, she suddenly let go, causing theptop to nearly fall to the floor. She hurriedly closed theptop and put it aside. This high-tension behavior was noticed by Yuan Xuan, but he did nothing but smile lightly. What were you doing online? Yuan Xuan asked. Mu Chenyans ink-ck eyes were clear but mysterious, giving nothing away. After she met Yuan Xuans undisguised gaze, Mu Chenyan lowered her head, bit her lips and said inly, Just buying some stuff. Why dont youe in? Your stare would make any one feel unsettled. Her hair was still wet from the shower as it carried a faint floral aroma. Yuan Xuan strode in and retrieved the hairdryer to blow her hair for her. Her jet-ck hair was short, reaching just below the ears. Yuan Xuans fingers ran through her hair, and he thought to himself about how fast this womans hair was growing. In the past, he had expressed his hope for her to keep her hair long, and she had, in turn, genuinely let her ck hair grow wildly without giving it any attention. In less than a month, her hair had grown luxuriant! Mu Chenyan kept her head down the entire time and simply allow him to do with it as he pleased. Other than this, the two partners had zero social interaction. I owe Qinger a favor, and I wont be able to pay her back this lifetime. Once her hair was dry, Yuan Xuan put the hairdryer aside and suddenly spoke up. He was not someone who kept things to himself. If the matter was something that he could reveal to her, he would do so without any hesitation. Mu Chenyan shuddered and did not look up to look at him but instead kept her head down to stare at his shoes. After some time, she quietly replied, I dont oppose the idea of letting Zhao Ruoxin live here, and you dont owe me any exnation. Just one sentence and the conversation turned awkward. After being talked back to, Yuan Xuans chest swelled with anger. Hemented coldly, You sure arent as obedient as you were this morning. As he spoke, he pulled her up from the sofa and wrapped one arm around her thin waist, and fiercely pinched her chin with the other. Ow! Mu Chenyan was afraid that her jaw would get dislocated, so she dared not move. Dont you care? Yuan Xuan asked. He really wanted to know. Did she still cherish him? Did she still care about him? The two pairs of eyes stared into each other. Mu Chenyan heart was scorched by his fiery gaze. She did not reply, unconsciously lowering her eyes to avoid him. However, Yuan Xuan was determined not to let her have her way! Mu Chenyan, dont try to shake me off! You have to ept the fact that youre Mrs Yuan before I get tired of you! Mu Chenyans body quivered slightly, and she saw the redness and viciousness in his eyes. When she did, it was as if she could see her future where she would be hopelessly entangled this man... She was not willing to resign herself to this fate! Yuan Xuan, please let me go. Let the Mu Family off. Youve got many options in life, but Ive only got one way out! Youre well aware that the two of us could never go back to the way it was in the past. Id like to leave with my mother, find my brother, and live a peaceful life... Mu Chenyans eyes became wet. She finally poured out all the thoughts that she had been suppressing in her heart all this while! Dont even think about it! Youre right in saying that youre only left with a single way out in life. When you chose me 14 years ago, there was no backing down! After hearing that she was actually nning to leave him, Yuan Xuans eyes darkened. He looked so enraged, his stare looked like it was ready to burn a hole in her. Chapter 82 - Butt Spank

Chapter 82: Butt Spank

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When he doted on her, his tone would be exceptionally sweet; when he was angry, it would be as such, where the biting cold aura exuded by him would overwhelm others to the point where they would have difficulty breathing! Thus, Mu Chenyan was well aware that reasoning with him would not work. Alright, I get it. Can Mr Yuan let go of Mrs Yuan now? Mu Chenyan gave a contented smile and impatiently let go of Yuan Xuans hands. The pain around her jaw immediately vanished, causing her to look away, as if she was not willing to see Yuan Xuan anymore. This aloof and insolent manner only further pissed Yuan Xuan off. No woman had ever treated him with such disrespect. Moreover, this woman had been spoiled to the extent of having no restraint! Looks like Ive pampered you too much. Yuan Xuan lowered his voice, but the rage in his heart could not be concealed. He had intended to rify the matter about Zhao Ruoxin, but she had told him very frankly that she did not care about the reason at all! What more, she was thinking of leaving him! ? Mu Chenyan sneered, but was not able to refute. Seems like Ive really spoiled you! Enraged, Yuan Xuan remarked once more. This temper and attitude was bred by you C you should just tolerate it! Mu Chenyan rebutted resentfully. Her small face flushed red, making her look like a little rooster that was ready to battle! The two stared at each other for about a minute. Then, Yuan Xuan suddenly flipped her onto the bed, her petite and delicate body thrown onto the nket. Mu Chenyan let out a cry, and before she could grasp what was going on, she felt a burning pain on her buttocks. This Yuan Xuan had used his hand to smack her buttocks! Mu Chenyan was stunned! Only after she had recovered from the shock did she realize that she had been spanked. She had been spanked like a little child! However, before she could react, she was spanked again, and again... Mu Chenyans skin was normally very tender. As the spanksnded, the numbing pain caused Mu Chenyan to seriously ponder life. After some serious thinking, this woman concluded that she could not tolerate it any more! She jumped up from the bed and grabbed the pillow nearby before proceeding to whack Yuan Xuan with it. You dare to smack me? To actually spank my butt... You... youve got no sense of shame... Mu Chenyan was pissed. Since young, no one had dared hit her in this manner! Even the maniacs in prison had the decency not to hit her in these areas! She could not be bothered about her image anymore, could not be bothered about being aloof, and could not be bothered about the messed-up hatred in her heart. All she wanted to do right now was thrash him to vent her anger! Yuan Xuan used his arms to block her attacks before dully saying, I think you want to get high! After snatching her weapon, he pinned both her and the pillow down on the bed. Yuan Xuans tall and sturdy frame loomed over her, trapping her firmly underneath him. Although the two were separated by a pillow, Mu Chenyan could still feel the heat emanating from his body. She shrunk and hid her head under the pillow, exposing only a pair ofrge eyes that were simultaneously as ck as ink whilst still appearing innocent and pure... She was not aware that this look would arouse the mans lust even more. Yuan Xuans throat suddenly felt dry, and it was as if there was a torrent of mes passing through by his Adams apple. He swallowed his saliva and his Adams apple seductively bounced up and down. When Mu Chenyan saw this, she unconsciously licked her lips. This unwitting move was picked up by Yuan Xuan, and after receiving the signal, the man unceremoniously pressed his lips onto hers. This suffocation instantly caused the woman below to feel uneasy. She twisted her body left and right to avoid him as she tried to breathe, desperate for oxygen... However, every time she pulled back, his tongue would advance an inch further! The pillow between the two could not stop his determined attempts to swallow her whole. Chapter 83 - From Now On, Three Nights per Week and Only Once a Night

Chapter 83: From Now On, Three Nights per Week and Only Once a Night

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion By the time the kiss was over, Mu Chenyan felt as if half-a-century had gone by... She was really terrified of the mes burning in Yuan Xuans eyes! In order to hide her presence further, she decided to hide her head under the pillow. At the end of the day, after cooling down, Mu Chenyan was still a woman who understood the situation. She knew that if she provoked this ferocious beast who was constantly in heat, that she would be the one to suffer in the end! However, she was too naive. The fire that was already burning could not be extinguished so easily! Yuan Xuan suddenly pulled away the pillow that was obstructing him and threw it onto the ground. Now, there was no barrier between the two of them, and though he was supporting himself with his arms, his body was still pressed heavily onto hers. Mu Chenyan let out a groan, she did not know what to do. She pushed her small hands against his chest and hurriedly said, You... havent showered yet... Well shower togetherter. Were gonna be full of sweat after exercising anyway. Yuan Xuans voice was unusually hoarse, and his tone showed that no matter what, this dance of human instinct was going to proceed. Mu Chenyan felt that this time, Yuan Xuan seemed to want it too much. However, since her return, he had almost never stopped firing. Every time, the duration would be so long, to the point where she would feel a pain in her back and cramps in her legs. She could not help but wish that she could pretend to faint and bluff her way through the ordeal... How bout... not... not doing it today? Mu Chenyan had forgotten about the humiliation from the butt spank earlier and thus, softly requested in a desperate tone. She needed a break. Even a wife who was purchased and brought home would surely have a day-off as well, right? How could someone like her be forced to work 8 days out of 10... Im really exhausted... and I havent even had a good rest... Knowing that once he started, it wouldst almost the entire night. Mu Chenyan made onest ditch effort to escape C she was truly fearful! Her legs that could not be closed together even quivered instinctively. Additionally, Mu Chenyans small face revealed a half-pout, making her look very pitiful. Her pleading seemed to be effective as Yuan Xuan soon knitted his brows together, got up from the bed, and snorted, Your fitness is too poor! Yuan Xuan left for the bathroom whilst looking very much insatiable. Mu Chenyan hurriedly turned over and got up. She timidly took a look at the bathroom and thought to herself, One who survives a great disaster is bound to receive good fortune afterward! (TN: a Chinese proverb) Figuring that he would note out too soon, Mu Chenyan opened herptop again and made the payment for the stuff she had ordered before quickly closing theptop so abruptly earlier. The woman who had survived a disaster let out a long sigh and coiled up in the nket, thinking of how to bring up what she nned to do next... After half an hour, Mu Chenyan felt a chill beside her. The cold hand of the man who had just showered reached out to pull her body into his arms. Only when Mu Chenyan came into contact with his cool body did she realized that this man had used cold water to lower his body temperature... Dont do that next time, if you really want... I can try to amodate. Using cold water to lower your temperature will harm your body... Mu Chenyan hesitantly said. Yuan Xuan could see that she was worried about his health and snickered coldly, You shouldve told me earlier! Mu Chenyan suddenly realized that saying all of this was made her seem like a green tea b*tch (TN: a derogatory term referring to seemingly innocent and sweet girls but who are actually pretentious b*tches)... From now on, three nights per week and once a night! Yuan Xuan said all of a sudden. In truth, Yuan Xuan had wanted to tell her once a night for a long time, but he was afraid of frightening her. The mans voice was hoarse and deep, and there was a hint of restraint when he spoke. Mu Chenyan blinked her eyes. Only after a brief pause did she understand that he was talking about the frequency of making love! Damn! She could finally have a break. Then... how bout when my period arrives? She had read in novels that perverted man would fight dauntlessly. She could not even begin to imagine how that scene would be! How long does your period usuallyst? Yuan Xuan asked her seriously. He stared at her soft, pink cheeks and his pupils shimmered slightly. Mu Chenyan was tongue-tied for a moment. Her voice was low and revealed her shyness. Usually, itllst six days... Damn! Would ordinary couples discuss such matters like this? Yuan Xuan, as a young man of an aristocratic family, was usually solemn and abstinent looking. Who knew that he would be such a perverted person in private... Then, well postpone it to the week after, Yuan Xuan thought about it before replying, this weeks loss will bepensated by additional sessions in the following next week! What? Then after the week the period was over, would that not be six times... Mu Chenyan put on a long face and muttered softly, It definitely isnt easy to be Mrs Yuan! Chapter 84 - Previously, He Had Thought that She was Acting Cute

Chapter 84: Previously, He Had Thought that She was Acting Cute

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan snorted before bursting out intoughter. Hisrge hands wrapped around her shoulders, but he dared not be any more intimat out of fear that he would have to take another cold shower to suppress any surging desires. I know that I cant be always be enjoying free meals in the Yuan Family, so Ill contribute as best as I can. Mu Chenyan said while frowning. Some level of self-sacrifice was necessary. Her innocent eyes glimmered, and her small face snuggled closer to Yuan Xuans waist. From Yuan Xuans perspective, she looked so adorable that he wanted to be affectionate with her. Yuan Xuan reached out to pinch her face. I like it when youre obedient. Mu Chenyan continued to blink her big eyes before lightly rubbing her head against his waist. Her cat-like nature was in y! Yuan Xuan did not say anything, but it was apparent that he liked this kind of silent interaction. Mu Chenyan felt that the timing was right, so she quietly asked, How about I go and get a job? Then, I can contribute more to the household... Yuan Xuans expression immediately changed. From the way this woman had been behaving, he had suspected that she carried some underlying motive! Previously, he had thought that she was acting cute, but it seemed that he had underestimated her! Fortunately, he had gotten used to her unpredictability over the past few days. Yuan Xuan purposely did not call her out, but instead asked her in a low voice, You want a job? What can you do? Yuan Xuan was genuinely curious. How would this woman act if she were to leave his sight? You mean you agree? Mu Chenyan was exhrated and tried her best to hide her delight, but joy was written all over her small face. Herrge, ck eyes prompted Yuan Xuan to bite his tongue. When she wore this face, she looked to just like a kitten. Yeah. You can think about what job you want. Maybe I can lend you a hand. Yuan Xuan spoke with sincerity, and this was, of course, the truth. In reality, he had hoped that she would not go out to work, but Mu Chenyan should simrly not grow to be an unlearned and unskilleddy! Her talent meant that she was destined to lead a life that was far from quiet and stable. Although she would intentionally conceal her radiance, there was always this sense of restlessness in her. It was just that sometimes she was not prepared to show it. Hmm... I havent figured it out yet. When I got one in mind, Ill let you know! Mu Chenyan decided to quit while she was ahead. She could not disclose anything yet. At least not before she had settled the matter with Wu Ze C she could not risk having Yuan Xuan meddling in it. Alright then, do as you wish. If you want to go out, go ahead. Yuan Xuan shifted his grip and pulled her even closer. He was like a huge warm furnace. Even after taking a cold shower, he would heat up rapidly, making his smooth skin almost ufortably hot to touch! Mu Chenyan buried her face into his waist and mumbled, Thank you, Brother Xuan... In the days that followed, Yuan Xuan would regrly go to work in the daytime and shower his wife with love at night. Because of her hidden motive, Mu Chenyan activated her obedient-wife-mode once again. Whenever Yuan Xuan indulged himself in the pleasures of the flesh, she would amodate. Even when she was exhausted to death, she would still grit her teeth and satisfy him. After all, there was no task in this world that was notborious. Not to mention,pared to other jobs, apanying a first-rate handsome man to sleep was not a bad task! Yuan Xuan really acted in ordance with the agreement three times per week, no exceptions. The only difference in sessions is that sometimes, it would only happen once, whilst other times it wouldst the whole night... Every time she was feeling worn out with her back aching, dark circles under her eyes, and could not help but wish to sleep in for the entire morning, only to wake up and find Yuan Xuan in a satiated state with his face glowing as he left for work, she would sit on the third floor of the small building and reflect on life... When Zhao Ruoxin moved into the Yuan Family, there was no storm clouds which signalled aing storm. On the contrary, everything was peaceful. In fact, it was overly calm in the Yuan Family! With Ruoxin forpany, Old Mistress mood improved significantly. She was at a great age now, and it was not right for her to owe anyone favors. Since she had liked Qinger in the first ce, and since there was now a substitute here to satisfy Old Mistress psychological needs, none of the family members dared say anything. Chapter 85 - Taking a Cautious Stance Regarding the Sudden Descent of Zhao Ruoxin from the Sky

Chapter 85: Taking a Cautious Stance Regarding the Sudden Descent of Zhao Ruoxin from the Sky

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan was still feeling uneasy, so he sent Yan Jun to City C to investigate. It turned out that it was as what she had imed. Her foster father hadmitted murder due to gambling, and both mother and daughter were hunted down by the enemies. Fortunately, the gambling father still had a conscience. Beforemitting the crime, he had used his identity as a doctor to find a heart donor for Zhao Ruoxin. The family of a young man who was involved in an ident was willing to donate his remains, and his heart so happened to be a fit for Zhao Ruoxin! Third Young Master, theres basically nothing suspicious. Yan Jun noticed that Yuan Xuans solemn expression as he flipped through the dossier over and over again. It was as if there was still something he could not figure out. How did Old Mistress get hold of news about Zhao Ruoxin? Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows. Regarding the sudden descent of Zhao Ruoxin from the sky, he had been taking a cautious stance all this while. However, he could not directly ask Old Mistress. Yuan Xuan was extremely familiar with his grandmothers temper. Having been pampered since young, she was autocratic in the way she handled matters. That day when she was opposed to letting Zhao Ruoxin stay here, Old Mistress was already extremely displeased. If he were to raise further questions, it would arouse her aversion. Didnt Old Mistress go to the Tang Guan Temple to pray a few days before the banquet? Zhao Yanni went to the temple from the nearby civilian area and had disturbed Old Mistress. Is that woman mad? Yuan Xuan coldly remarked, his vtile gaze was chilly. Years of grappling with his enemies had cultivated in him a deep-seated distrust for everyone. She is mad. Its exactly because of that she ran about wildly, and from what the temple abbot had mentioned, this woman would always go there to steal the food offerings. Since she was mentally deranged, no one bothered to make a report. Then, it so happened that she met Old Mistress that day she went there again. Old Mistress recognized that shes Zhao Yanni and found out about Miss Zhao. Yan Jun had investigated thoroughly and even inquired the neighbors staying around Zhao Yanni and Zhao Ruoxin, confirming that Zhao Yanni was indeed suffering from a mental disorder. Wheres Zhao Yanni staying now? Yuan Xuans deep voice was exceptionally calm. Old Mistress has arranged for her to be admitted into Zong He Psychiatric Sanatorium... Yan Jun suddenly felt that something was amiss. He quietly asked, Young Master, if youre in doubt, should we move Ye Kun out of there? Yuan Xuan motioned with his hand. No need. At least Zong He was in his territory! Since Old Mistress has made the arrangement, it shouldnt be a big issue. The information Ye Kun provided to us has been utilizedpletely at the moment. Have the men at Zong He to take note and safeguard him. Yan Jun epted themand. Ye Kun was Yuan Tangbais personal bodyguard. When Yuan Xuan was 15, he had rescued Ye Kun by chance, who was being hunted down at that time. To Yuan Xuan, Ye Kun was a person of unusual significance and someone he respected like a father... Now, Zhao Ruoxin and Zhao Yanni, these two women of unknown origin, though appeared to be simple, had managed to enter the Yuan Family that easily and even got close to where Ye Kun was residing. There were some aspects that he just could not figure out! About the heart transnt, even if it was free from the donor, the surgery and post-operation treatments would still cost hundreds of thousands. How and where did the Zhao mother and daughter acquire such a huge amount? Yuan Xuan continued to question. Yan Jun was stunned. After investigating so much, this question did not ur to him at all! He felt ashamed for failing to carry out his duties. Yan Jun had been following by Yuan Xuans side for years. The trio of Kang Yu, Tian Qi and him had their respective roles. Kang Yu, a graduate from the University of California, was hired by Yuan Xuan and became his office and administrative personnel. He was involved in most of thepany matters and could be seen as Yuan Xuans right-hand man. Yan Jun was responsible for Yuan Xuans various privatework and connections, investigating and reporting and mediating every party. He was also Yuan Xuans close aide. Tian Qi, on the other hand, was a unique existence presented to Yuan Xuan by Shao Yibai. Due tomitting a minor offense, he had opted to retire from being the leader of special forces. He was skillful andpetent with a straight and one-track mind and his greatest strength was loyalty. Under normal circumstances, Yuan Xuan would not have Tian Qi appear in public. However, once Yuan Qi showed up, the other party would either die or be injured severely... Yuan Xuan treated them very well and they were all remunerated handsomely. However, this had developed in him the mentality of being ignorant of human suffering, forgetting that money was a hard currency to themon people! Young Master, are you suspecting that someone has Miss Zhaos back? Chapter 86 - Sometimes, He Even Wished That She Was A Little More Cunning

Chapter 86: Sometimes, He Even Wished That She Was A Little More Cunning

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun thought about Shu Qingers death and the fact that they have not found the actual culprit. The situation had gotten a littleplicated now that her twin sister appeared. Lets not jump into conclusion yet. You should check on it first and we will decide after that! Should I need to arrange some bodyguards to secretly protect the Old Mistress and the Young Mistress at the mansion? Somehow, even Yan Jun felt like that woman would do something to Mu Chenyan! Either way, Zhao Ruoxin is still Qingers sister. Since I owe Qinger a debt of gratitude, it is my duty to take care of her sister! Investigating Zhao Ruoxin is just to get to know her better. It doesnt necessarily mean that she is a bad person! Yuan Xuan had always put in careful considerations before making a decision. He would not act rashly and alert anyone before confirming that she is suspicious. After all, the debt of gratitude that they owed to the Shu Family had always bothered the Old Mistress. I wanted to be safe than sorry... Yan Jun said worriedly. Yuan Xuan could not help butugh when he saw how Yan Jun was more nervous than him. Jiuer who is with the Old Mistress has been trained since young. That girl will protect the Old Mistress! Moreover, Zhao Ruoxin will not hurt the Old Mistress because she is her patron! The Old Mistress invited her into the Yuan Family Mansion, provided her with beautiful clothes and delicious food. As for Chenyan, I dont think shes that weak. This also happens to be a good opportunity for her to train herself! As he spoke, Yuan Xuan recalled how the woman acted one way in the open and another in the dark. Moreover, she was able to destroy Feng Rao without batting an eyelid. Thus, Zhao Ruoxin who seemed harmless at the moment would not be a match to her. He had seen the innocent and bright Mu Chenyan in the past. Although she was not as adorable as she was from before, it was challenging now to have a woman as unpredictable and difficult as her! Sometimes, he even wished that she was a little more cunning! He will spoil his woman no matter who she had be! Seeing the smile on the Third Young Masters face when he mentioned Mu Chenyan, Yan Jun could not help but sigh internally. That woman must truly be a magical living being to be able to melt his ice-cold heart... Oh right, when do Young Master n to deal with the situation in the prison? Yan Jun recalled the news from the first trial and secretly broke into a sweat for those pests who had no idea of death or danger! Might as well do it today. Pick up the Young Mistress in a while and I will be there today. Yuan Xuan was annoyed whenever this was mentioned! Someone actually dared to go against his will and deliberately hurt Mu Chenyan! She had already suffered two years in prison and she had to suffer another two more years. This thought alone caught him by surprise and made him lost his temper! He could not ease his anger if he did not do something about these people! Yan Jun went to the Hibiscus Garden to pick Mu Chenyan up but he did not tell her where they were going. Mu Chenyan stayed silent and did not ask. The gentle-looking girl dressed inly sat in the car, looking at the rapidly moving view outside the window with her bright eyes and feeling a little sentimental. Yan Jun was suddenly curious about this Young Mistress. He worked for Yuan Xuan for a few years already but he had never seen his CEO paid so much attention to a woman. The public said that Miss Shu was the CEOs childhood friend, but Yan Jun felt that the CEO was only paying his gratitude. Even though the CEOs attitude towards Miss Mu was very uncertain, Yan Jun felt that the CEO favored her... Nheless, he always thought that Miss Mu was a little terrifyingly quiet despite going through so much. Considering the grudges between the two families in the past and what he found out from the pests in the prison. Mu Chenyan noticed that Yan Jun was secretly looking at her. She twitched her mouth and put on a smile, averted her gaze and asked in a low voice, Secretary Yan, youve been around Yuan Xuan for a few years already, right? Yan Jun instantly sat up straight when he was being asked, It has indeed been a few years already! There isnt any other woman around Yuan Xuan in the past two years? Mu Chenyan asked briefly while twirling her hair with her fingers. She asked very casually without any emotions on her face. However, the calmer she was, the more dangerous it felt! Chapter 87 - Ive Had Germophobia Ever Since I Was Younger

Chapter 87: Ive Had Germophobia Ever Since I Was Younger

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun broke into a cold sweat! Young Mistress was trying to get information about Young Master! During the two years when Young Mistress was gone, she wanted to know how did the CEO spend his time. After all, any ordinary and healthy men would have needs... Young Master seems to have germophobia! Yan Jun pondered on it but all he was able to do was describing Yuan Xuan with these three words! Mu Chenyan heard it and startedughing. Herughter was as pleasing as the sound of bells ringing and Yan Jun was blushing from his ears to his neck. Young Mistress, Young Master really do have germophobia! Yan Jun was afraid that Mu Chenyan did not believe in him. If his hands were not on the steering wheel, he would have put his right hand up and sworn upon the altar of God. Im not lying to you! Mu Chenyanforted Yuan Xuan softly. It seemed like Yuan Xuans trusty assistant was afraid that he might have said something wrong and caused trouble to his CEO... Previously when Young Mistress was suffering in prison, there were women who tried to take an opportunity. Nheless, all of them were beaten up by Young Master... Yuan Xuan hit women? Mu Chenyan was surprised by this information. She only wanted to ask casually and get to know more about Yuan Xuans love life in the past two years. She did not think that the seemingly elegant and noble man had such a violent side. Young Master did not hit them personally, Tian Qi did! Yan Jun assumed that in Tian Qis stubborn brain, there will not be any principles about why men should not hit women! In Tian Qis opinion, Yuan Xuan was his principle! During the first few months when you were in prison, the Young Mistress of the Hai Family secretly drugged Young Masters drink. Young Master found out about it and Tian Qi broke three of that womans rib bones! Mu Chenyan? .... He was that brutal? The Young Mistress of the Hai Family was also rather good-looking! Also, there was once in the bar when Miss Yu Lingyun sat on Young Mastersps while she was drunk and got thrown out of the bar by Tian Qi... As Yan Jun was talking, Mu Chenyan tried to imagine the huge and tall Tian Qi dragging Yu Lingyun out the bar... If Mu Chenyan did not personally experience how violent Yuan Xuan was in bed, she would think that he might be impotent since he rejected all those women... It seemed like Yan Jun was right, this man had an extremely severe case of germophobia! If he does not like something, he would throw it away even if it was given to him! Hey, that would be weird! She had been chasing after him for so many years. Why did he not throw her away if he hated it so much? ... When Mu Chenyan finally arrived at Yuan Xuans office, he saw a mysterious smile on her face. Yan Jun who was standing at the side seemed to have just finished a marathon! Yuan Xuan brought Tian Qi along with him today. Even Tian Qi could tell that Yan Jun was extremely nervous because he was guilty of something... Yan Jun regretted it now. As expected, he should not havemented on his boss behind his back because the feeling of guilt was extremely painful! ... Since Tian Qi drove his own car, the multi-tasker Yan Jun instantly turned into a chaffeur! Whats so funny? Tell me about it! The two of them got into the car and sat together at the backseat. Both man and woman looked overwhelmingly gorgeous! The man looked at the beautiful woman openly with his deep and thoughtful eyes. Mu Chenyan saw how nervous the chauffeur looked andughed! Yan Jun constantly tried to use his eyes tomunicate with the Young Mistress through the back mirror, Young Mistress, you wont betray me, right? Nothing, I just recalled something that happened in schoolst time... Mu Chenyan lied. Yan Jun heaved a sigh of relief. When you were in school? Yuan Xuan fondled his chin and started pondering. Do you have germophobia towards women in the past? Mu Chenyan suddenly asked and Yan Jun who was driving in front started breathing incoherently. His legs started shaking, causing the car to swerve to the side and almost lost control! Yan Jun calmed down and the car finally started to move normally. The trusty assistant was praying in his heart, Young Mistress, please dont tell him that I said that! Yuan Xuan frowned and said in a low voice, Ive had germophobia ever since I was younger! Mu Chenyan ... Yan Jun, ... Chapter 88 - Bring Her Justice

Chapter 88: Bring Her Justice

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The car drove into the An Xian female prison located at the border of Luo Hai. The distance between the prison and Luo Hai City was not too long. However, it was located in a remote and dested area. Other than the period of time when Mu Chenyan lived at the Detention Center because she was on trial, she spent most of her time living here! In fact, the surrounding sceneries were not familiar to Mu Chenyan. When she was in prison, she was utterly confused. She was not in the mood of sceneries as she felt despaired and was in fear of the unpredictable future! By the time she left the prison, things have changed and her personality became extremely cold. Her perception towards the outside world became dull and she did not care about anything. Thus, why would she be attracted to the sceneries? Mu Chenyan was brought to this ce out of the sudden today. Moreover, she actually did not recognize this ce even for a moment even after getting down from the car. She looked towards the buildings and the pitch ck, ferocious-looking front door. She could feel the chillsing from the huge door before even getting close to it. The door actually devoured peoples hopes and courage... Mu Chenyan did not know why did Yuan Xuan bring her here. Even the sky above the heavily guarded walls was turning gloomy. The dark-colored prison uniform was once the color that Mu Chenyan was sick of two years ago... Mu Chenyan recalled that it was raining on the day that she left and her mood was as gloomy as the weather now. In her opinion, when Butler Fu brought her back to the Yuan Family, she was just moving from one cage to another cage. However, her dull-colored prison uniform changed into the colorful clothing that she wore today. In two years time, her status turned from the number one socialite in Luo Hai to a prisoner. Then, she turned from a wicked woman that everyone disdained to the Third Young Mistress of the number one aristocratic family... The only things that never changed were the painful memories and the fear that prated deep into her bones... Yuan Xuan saw the change in Mu Chenyans emotions as she tightened the coat around her cold body. She had an indifferent look on her pale little face but there was hatred in her eyes. He reached his hand out to hold her tiny hand and he was caught off guard by how cold it was. Mu Chenyan shook off Yuan Xuans hand. She turned around to look at him and said with her trembling lips, Why did you bring me here? To refresh my memories? On the way here, he did not tell Mu Chenyan about their destination because he was afraid that she would be against it. Yuan Xuan knew that this was her mental block. He also knew that it was unrealistic for her to face it in a calm andposed manner. I want to bring justice for the unfair treatment that you suffered here! Yuan Xuans voice was a little hoarse. Despite sounding ruthless and merciless, he was very serious with his words. Mu Chenyan could not control the feeling of detest and constraint in her heart. She took a step back and changed the way she looked at Yuan Xuan. An irritable and sad feeling suddenly arose from her heart. Initially, when the two of them were together, their rtionship maintained mutually at a bnced point. They were not overly intimate, but it was still considered peaceful. However, this ce evoked all of the bad memories that Mu Chenyan buried at the bottom of her heart. The piercing pain in her heart instantly caused her to detest the man in front of her. Yuan Xuan probably contributed to the unfair treatment that he mentioned! If he was willing to save her, why would she need to suffer two years? He was the one with the final decision! He was also the one to decide whether she was guilty or innocent! After being tortured in this hell-like prison for two years, she cut off her love towards him and worn off her initial morality. And now, this man said that he wanted to bring her justice? Even if he brought her justice, the Mu Chenyan from before will not be back. The look in Mu Chenyans eyes became darker. There were hints of stubbornness and agitation in her eyes as she smiled sarcastically. Okay, Ill see how are you going to bring me justice! She was nurtured to be a socialite since young. Moreover, she was heavily influenced by her mother who was elegant and proper. Thus, she had never spoken in the way that she did today. ... Chapter 89 - She Recognized Mu Chenyan

Chapter 89: She Recognized Mu Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In the prison wardens spacious yet empty office, Yuan Xuan was like a God who was in charge of life and death. He looked down at the few frightened female prisoners and the prison warden from a higher position. Mu Chenyan knew each and every one of them here. However, they did not recognize Mu Chenyan. She was a woman with delicate features, fair skin, and dressed in appropriate clothing. When she elegantly walked in front of them, how could they recognize that she was once the frail and lowly Mu Chenyan? These women were interrogated a while back. From past experience, they dared not say anything despite being arrogant before. They lowered their heads obediently in front of Yuan Xuan. Even a blind person could tell that he was a person of high status without even understanding the situation. The prison warden Liu San Kui did not expect someone from the Yuan Family to be here. Moreover, it was their Third Young Master! In terms of financial resources, no one in the Southeast Region couldpete with the Yuan Familys Third Young Master! In terms of military achievements, although Yuan Tangbai had passed away, his prestige and reputation remained. Every ranking and influential official in the Capital City had to show respect to his only son, not to mention a small prison warden. Young Master Yuan... look... the people that you asked for are here! Oh my, Im a bad manager... Liu San Kui quickly criticized himself after seeing that things seemed to be going downhill. Liu San Kui was like a God in this prison. Even the Eighteen Arhats 1 would have to obey him in this prison! Heavenly principles did not exist here as the prison warden held the absolute power! An Overlord who reigned supreme actually acted so humbly in front of this high and mighty handsome Young Master. Therefore, how could the female prisoners not be frightened? The few of them spotted Yan Jun, who was standing at the side. They previously had a hard time with him. Seeing Yuan Xuan, even a fool could tell that he was the real boss behind the scene! Yuan Xuan scanned through the few women in front of him with his piercing gaze. They wore the same prison uniform, queued up in a line and lowered their heads. None of them dared to raise their head but they secretly knew in their hearts that they may not have much time left... The other two persons were a prison guard and auxiliary police. The prisoners revealed that they were working under the orders from both of them. Is everyone here already? Yuan Xuans deep hoarse voice caused the few women to shiver in fear. Was the trial about to begin? Yuan Xuan signaled with his eyes and Yan Jun moved forward. He dragged a muscr, tall woman and threw her in front of Mu Chenyan. Young Mistress, have a look and see whether she was the one who led the rest to bully you? The women squeaked out of fear. The scar on her left cheek seemed even more ferocious when she was in fear! Mu Chenyan recalled that everyone here called her Sister Scar. Rumors had it that before she got into prison, she was the owner of a casino. Her husband had an affair with the owner of the jewelry shop next door and she paid someone to cripple her husbands mistress and destroyed her shop. With that, she was sentenced to jail for ten years. No matter how sessful they were outside, they would need to start anew and followed the prison rules. Sister Scar was a very cruel and arrogant person. Her family often deliver goods that were highly demanded to her and she would bribe the prison guards with alcohol and cigarettes. As for the sweets and snacks, sometimes she would distribute it to own thugs and alliances. In addition to that, she also seemed like a good fighter. Therefore, she was very popr inside the prison. She was thepetent right-hand man of the former head sister. After the head sister was released from prison, the status was passed onto her. A long period of istion and the uncertainty towards the future contributed to people developing a ruthless behavior. This feeling would corrode a persons heart in the long run, and developed some form of twisted mentality and behavior. Within such a narrow and independent space, fourteen people would form a small society with a hierarchy system. A new member like Mu Chenyan will naturally be the top bullying target! Do you still recognize her? Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan look at Sister Scar with a gaze filled with hatred. He assumed that she was the leader and he spoke coldly. Sister Scars entire body trembled. The arrogance and supremacy were gone. Hearing Yuan Xuans question, she raised her head slightly and looked at Mu Chenyan attentively. The beautiful face of the woman in front of her was unforgettable and Sister Scar quickly recognized Mu Chenyan! Chapter 90 - Ordered By Someone

Chapter 90: Ordered By Someone

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The woman in front of her was elegant but her gaze was calm with an odd, piercing cold. Sister Scar suddenly realized that she had offended someone that she should not have o... This... isnt this Mu... Shut Up! Mu Chenyan was extremely disgusted. She did not want to hear her nameing out from her mouth! I... I was ordered by someone. Miss Mu, please forgive me and forget about my past mistakes... As she pleaded, she leaned forward and tried to hold Mu Chenyans hand. Mu Chenyan frowned, took a step backward and looked at the dirty woman in disdain. Tian Qi who was standing at the side used his body to block Sister Scar. Tian Qis murderous gaze frightened Sister Scar and she dared not move. In fact, Sister Scar was considered amon citizenpared to the members of the noble aristocratic families. Thus, there should not be any interactions between both parties. Even so, such a lowly woman who was not even worth mentioning actually bullied Mu Chenyan! The anger in Yuan Xuan was intensifying! Quick, tell me who ordered you to do do! Sister Scar did not know what was happening. Nheless, she could feel that she was in deep trouble with theming by and making such a huge scene. She slumped on the floor and started wailing. It-its... the Yuan Family of Luo Hai! She said tremblingly. Shut up! Yuan Xuan jumped out of the chair and a hint of piercing cold gaze shed through his phoenix-narrow eyes. Who in the Yuan Family gave you the order to torture Mu Chenyan? His tone was no longer low and suppressed. His furious gaze was like a cold de which could carve out pieces of human meat. Mu Chenyan was also shocked by this information! Despite all the spections that she had before, she did not wish upon the day when she needed to face the truth. She was in doubt, in shock, and in grief. Then, she turned her head to look at Yuan Xuan. Even Yan Jun did not expect this answer. Thest time he came here to interrogate, the few women simply refused to reveal any information. The only thing they said was they followed the prisons rule and hit the neer. Since ancient times, it was an unspoken rule in prisons and there was nothing new about it. But today, she revealed the truth in front of Mu Chenyan. It was someone from the Yuan Family and the situation suddenly became very awkward. The prison guard gave an order saying that Miss Mu offended the Yuan Family, so I was told to take care of her. You should know that neers are bound to be bullied. Moreover, Miss Mu was cold and aloof... As she spoke, Sister Scar peeped at Mu Chenyan. Seeing that she was unresponsive, she continued, When Miss Mu first got here, she did not cry orin. All she did was read and all of them were imported books... Everyone thought that she intentionally put on an act... The corner of Mu Chenyans lips curled up and she sneered coldly. She was indeed as she was described at that time. Wu Ze was concerned that she could not bear the loneliness inside, so he would sneak in some books for her. Even Wu Ze knew that someone as proud as her would not be able to ept such a drastic change in status. Moreover, she was once the number one socialite that everyone admired. The books were the greatest gifts to apany her! Even so, it actually seemed like a sign of misfit in their eyes. Therefore, even without orders from above, Miss Mu would also be treated differently. Nevertheless, we were told to take care of her since the beginning! Later on, the higher-ups told us that someone did not want her to live peacefully... So, we did not hold back... Sister Scar said it very naturally as it should be. When the prison guards at the side heard what she said, they were already frightened out of their wits. They quickly exined, Yes... Someone from the Yuan Family of Luo Hai sent words saying that Miss Mu killed their Old Mistresss dearest person and that Miss Mu was removed from the Yuan Family... So, we were told to punish her properly... Thus, we allowed their behaviors... Yan Jun felt that the situation deviated a little from their expectations! Yuan Xuan looked at the few women in front of him coldly and the pressure in the air caused everyone to hold their breaths. This high-above and extremely arrogant man was dismembering every single one on the scene with his gaze! After a moment, his supernatural-sounding voice pierced through everyones ears, Was it the Old Mistress of the Yuan Family? Chapter 91 - Why Do You Need to Know?

Chapter 91: Why Do You Need to Know?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan, Yan Jun, and Tian Qi were silent as they looked at Yuan Xuans pitch-ck shadow that seemed as though it was growing longer inside the stifling office. The deep noise was still echoing from a distance. Regarding this matter, who would dare to suspect Old Mistress unless Yuan Xuan had said it again on his own? However, aside from Old Mistress, who would dare to step foot into Yuan Xuans domain and made changes there? Although Yuan Xuan had already arranged to prevent Mu Chenyan from suffering inconveniences, the other party had simply abused her as pleased. The incident with Shu Qinger was a sore spot for Old Mistress. Old Mistress had even fallen ill a few times when Qinger died. How could Old Mistress willingly ept that a child whom she had raised on her own and loved for more than a decade would suffer a horrible death before her one day? When Yuan Xuan refused to get a divorce, did Old Mistress send people to do those things because she was certain that he would not part with Mu Chenyan? Previously, when you made clear arrangements for Miss Mu to be protected from harm and trouble, wed never even dare to inconvenience her! However, when we wereter told of the Yuan Familys Old Mistress intentions, we were merely prompted to act in ordance with that... The prison guard stuttered. Since the monthly wages that an auxiliary police officer earned were inadequate, they became obsessed with the money that the Yuan Family gave them because they could never earn it in ten years. However, they nearly copsed from fright after experiencing this today. Had they exchanged their lives for money? How did you torture her? Yuan Xuan suddenly asked. The expression on Mu Chenyans face changed. Those unimaginable scenes shed in her mind again. Clearly too afraid to speak, the female prisoners and prison guards merely nced at each other and attempted to use silence to get away with it. Slightly annoyed, Yuan Xuan said, All of you refused to be convinced before you were faced with terrible consequences! Frightened, the women howled and cried, making a chaotic scene. Mu Chenyans indifferent face became even more emotionless before she opened her mouth and coldly said, Why do you need to know? Yuan Xuan did not know how ruthless or vicious a human heart could be. During a period when he had previously note into contact with his woman, she had struggled through murky waters. What kind of inhumane individuals had tortured her to the point to be the person she was today? Mu Chenyan was certain that they were too scared to speak because of Yuan Xuans fatally oppressive aura. Who would dare to test their luck with him during this critical moment? Let me tell you then. Yuan Xuan was suddenly stunned when he saw the devilish smile on Mu Chenyans face that appeared amidst the tense atmosphere. Its a norm to get pped! Havent you seen the burn wounds on my body? Mu Chenyan said slowly, Those were just a small part of it. After the burn injuries appeared, scabs would form on the old wounds. Then they would pick the scabs off and scald the bloody crusty remains again... On the side, Yan Jun inhaled a breath of cold air when he heard this. He winced from listening to this process and could not even imagine the extreme brutality of the scene. Yan Jun suddenly realized that these women would not meet a happy ending today. After spending numerous years by Yuan Xuans side, he had pretty much understood that although she was indeed the Old Mistress, this powerful woman still would not dare to directly trespass into Yuan Xuans domain. Thus, it was inevitable that these women would meet a sorry fate for treating Miss Mu this way. Even a rough and stubborn person like Tian Qi could not help but furrowed his eyebrows. Tian Qi, a man with a special forces background who had decapitated and killed people and had even experienced bloodied battlefields, could not even imagine that women could be worse than the Devil when they became ruthless. Yuan Xuans face turned pale as he looked at Mu Chenyans smile. He wanted to reach out and embrace her in his arms; he wanted to use his lips to kiss her wounds and tell her how much he was hurting too... However, Mu Chenyans aura refused him. She resembled an injured hedgehog that could not be easily approached. Sister Scar wished she could find a hole to hide inside now. The brutal actions that she had carried out were far more than this. In the winter, they took turns to take away the only nket that I have to warm myself on the thin mattress. I was so cold that I couldnt sleep. asionally when I was managed to doze off, they would ssh cold water on me in the middle of the night... I suffered from high fever and could not move, and was only sent to be saved and woken up after I fainted. They were worried that I would actually die... Mu Chenyans smile was strangely wretched. Since I never resisted, they would let me rest once they were tired of beating me. If I showed the slightest bit of resistance, they would strip me naked and make me kneel beside the toilet bowl in the bathroom... Mu Chenyan actually smiled describing the tragic scenes. Chapter 92 - The First Time That Yuan Xuan Was Sincerely Repentant

Chapter 92: The First Time That Yuan Xuan Was Sincerely Repentant

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Without saying anything, Yuan Xuan rushed over and embraced the woman tightly. Her entire body was chilly and trembling. Chenyan... Im sorry. I was wrong. I didnt protect you well! This was the first time that Yuan Xuan was repented from his heart. He initially wanted to bring down the Mu Family but chose this cruel way to keep Mu Chenyan away from it. Shao Yibai was right when he said that he would feel remorse over his own selfishness sooner orter. Wu Ze was right as well to say that he had no right to love Mu Chenyan. He had really been too selfish. Yuan Xuan, dont you feel that these events arent important anymore when you look at them now? Mu Chenyan did not reject his embrace but leaned her head against his shoulder instead. Her voice was as soft as a kittens but her body was as cold as the winter snow. Im standing properly before you now. My appearance is still the same as it was that year, and Im still stirringly beautiful. Moreover, I still possess my talents and bountiful knowledge and I still have the qualities and character of a youngdy of an aristocratic family that was cultivated from the illustrious Mu Family... But Im telling you I am no longer the previous Mu Chenyan! She had already died in this ce. When Yuan Xuan heard Mu Chenyans choking and sobbing voice, he held her tighter as if he was worried that he would lose her or she would gradually grow more distant. He quietly murmured, Chenyan, Im sorry. Everything is in the past now. Mu Chenyan forced a smile and said, Is it all in the past? Yuan Xuan, you cant act as if you personally experienced it in this life too! You merely saw the ending but I experienced the entire process. You wouldnt understand this pain because you werent the one who went through it! At that time, I didnt know when Id be released. My future was too uncertain then. It seemed as though I couldnt even see a ray of hope. I couldnt even harbor any illusions. If I wanted to survive, the Mu Chenyan of the past had to die! As he listened to Mu Chenyan, he could feel that woman trembling non-stop in his arms. Only now did he realize why the woman he was looking at could be hopelessly apathetic and indifferent. Those dark days were like devastating attacks to this woman whose heart was filled with love. ... Yuan Xuan slowly released Mu Chenyan but continued to keep her beside him. He suddenly opened his mouth and said, There is always a guilty party for every misdoing. Since youre already here today, we must bring this to an end. When the several trembling individuals who had carried out this atrocity heard the extremely arrogant man dering this in a deep voice, they profusely begged him in a grieving tone, We were also instigated by someone else... Sir, you should seek the Yuan Family if you want revenge... Shut up! When Yan Jun saw the few women behaving in a reckless manner and bringing up the Yuan Family, he angrily kicked and stomped on their leader Sister Scar until she copsed on the ground. You blind fools, do you know who he is? The women nkly stared at each other. People like them would nevere into contact with the proud and aloof Third Young Master of one of Luo Hais aristocratic families because they did not even deserve to kiss Yuan Xuans feet. Take a good look, this is the Third Young Master of the Yuan Family! You kept saying that the Yuan Family incited you to do those things but did you know that Miss Mu is Third Young Master Yuans wife? Yan Juns words were like a sudden bolt of lighting to these women. We... we... didnt know! Right from the start, someone told us that the Yuan Family had already disowned Miss Mu from the family... Moreover, the Mu Family had nevere over to clear things up... Thus, we assumed that the Yuan Family wanted us to get rid of this useless young woman! Both of the auxiliary police officers felt paralyzed and revealed their darkest story. Since the Mu Family had not cleared things up but the Yuan Family had arrived, these women instantly epted the task without caring about their statuses or the mission itself. The few women around Sister Scar felt they were treated unfairly. They had not even used their brains to think before doing what their leader had instructed them to do. They simply assaulted whoever she told them to. Would these petty lowlifes who did not even recognize Mu Chenyans status receive their retribution today? Chapter 93 - Yuan Xuan, Forget It

Chapter 93: Yuan Xuan, Forget It

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Sister Scar lowered her head before realizing that Mrs Yuan was the only person who could save her. Although she could not undo her past vile actions, it was vital for her to protect herself now. Sister Scar hurriedly crawled towards Mu Chenyans soles before her big fat hands tightly gripped Mu Chenyans trouser legs in one go. Her coarse and creaky voice wailed, Miss Mu... No no, Mrs Yuan... A high-status person like yourself shouldnt bear grudges against a lowly person like me. I was an idiot, an inhumane person... Im begging you to ask the Young Master of the Yuan Family to forgive me... Mu Chenyan turned her face away in disgust but Yuan Xuan could see her true feelings which could not be hidden on her charming little face. Get your filthy hands off me! Mu Chenyans quiet voice was somewhat hoarse. She retreated backward as if she was avoiding the gue. Those two hands had abused, assaulted and inhumanely treated her. Would she choose to forgive this woman by disying great benevolence and disregard past grudges? She could not act like a martyr! I think that a woman like you would have no other use for these two hands aside from hitting people. I should just break them once and for all! Yuan Xuan said lightly as an extremely beast-like evil aura burst forth from his sinister hawk-like eyes. If he was not concerned about dirtying his own hands, he really wanted to personally carry out this task. This woman was truly too despicable to abuse a lovely person like Mu Chenyan. Tian Qi understood. In his prime, the body of this man who had previously served in the special forces could lift a 100kg burden without exerting much force. His legs had even broken a wooden pir that was as thick as the rim of a bowl when he kicked it. During a military operation which they were sent to suppress some bandits, Tian Qi killed one of the captives with one kick when he tried to escape. Since that persons spleen ruptured, his unit initially wanted to discipline him but they had never expected that the short-tempered and stubbornmander and his deputy would take matters into their own hands and hence had to expel him instead! Tian Qi was an orphan who behaved in a rigid and simple-minded manner. He could not do anything when he entered society and his sole merit was his loyalty. Nheless, his stamina andbat skills were highly superior as well. Shao Yibai allowed him to stay and gave him to Yuan Xuan as a personal bodyguard because he valued his talents. Tian Qi understood the message. He walked over and kicked Sister Scar away from Mu Chenyans side. In a deep voice, he said to Mu Chenyan, Stand here, Madam. Dont be afraid. Mu Chenyans body shook briefly before she took a step backward while faintly trembling. Sister Scar wailed as if she had seen a ghost. Save... Save me... She ignored the trickle of blood seeping out from the corner of her mouth and the dull pain in her chest. She rolled away and crawled up before she charged towards the doorway as if she had gone insane! This office was originally a ce that was set up by the prison for the guards to temporarily rest when they were not working. The inner room was a resting area. Since there was only an office desk and a chair outside, the area was very spacious. Tian Qi was abnormally calm. Nheless, he hastened his footsteps and grabbed the shameless womans shirt cor from the back. He dragged her along with ease before Sister Scar heavily copsed on the ground. Tian Qis knee struck the crook of the womans arm, the crisp sound of broken bone apanied the womans horrifying screams echoing in the air... Sister Scar fainted from the pain. Traces of a murderous aura could be seen on Tian Qis face, he looked frighteningly violent. The two prison guards felt that the turn of event was far from reassuring. They got up and attempted to escape, running and shouting, Hes a murderer! Thew doesnt exist anymore. Anybody, somebody, pleasee quickly! It was trulyughable. They had never thought of thew when theymitted those crimes but had now ced their faith there instead. Tian Qi did not give them a second chance to yell. The rigid man merely used two kicks to speedily get rid of those two women whom he merely regarded as background noise. The cold and merciless man said to the women, Stop screaming! I hate the screams of women! The other women looked at Tian Qi as if they had seen a bloodthirsty demon. All of their faces turned pale and they were so frightened that they copsed on the ground in a paralyzed state. They did not even dare to gasp. When Mu Chenyan saw that the people who had previously abused her now resembled a heap of rotting flesh thaty unmoving there, her stomach suddenly turned and she felt as if she was about to throw up... When Yuan Xuan noticed that herplexion had worsened, he reached out and held her before asking, Chenyan, whats wrong? Mu Chenyan held Yuan Xuans arm while her ashen face became devoid of a single trace of rosiness. Her lips briefly trembled before she quietly said, Yuan Xuan... just forget it... Chapter 94 - Bite the Hand That Feeds You

Chapter 94: Bite the Hand That Feeds You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan merely saw Mu Chenyans body turned limp before he could even respond. She actually fell backward in an erect manner while facing upwards. Shocked, Yuan Xuan gasped, Chenyan! Chenyan... ... Mu Chenyan was unaware of how she had gotten into the car and returned to the Yuan household. She did not seem to know the details of the things that happened along the way. She knew even less about the major reorganization of the prison in An Xian. Liu Sankui received a transfer order the very same day to be sent to guard a lighthouse on an ind as part of his contribution in protecting the country... A few prison guards were dismissed from their jobs and the Yuan Family ordered them to leave Luo Hai within three days. The other female prisoners who had abused her were given extended sentences and heavier punishments. When Sister Scars family discovered that she had offended the Yuan Family of Luo Hai, they were too afraid to even fart. After sending her to the hospital, they never dared to show their faces again. All of these affairs were handled within a mere two to three hours. ... Mu Chenyan discovered that she had already returned to Hibiscus Garden when she woke up. Devoid of any strength, her bodyid on the warm bed. The clothes on her entire body were soaked with sweat after she fainted. She felt sticky and ufortable. The smell of fragrant incense permeated through the air and calmed the atmosphere. Mu Chenyan moved her arms, suddenly arousing Ah Fu who was sitting beside her and dozing off. Young Mistress, youre awake? Are you hungry? Ill get you something to eat! Mu Chenyan waved her hand and gestured Ah Fu toe over before she quietly asked, Wheres Young Master? Ah Fu who was somewhat at a loss then mumbled, After he came home, Young Master angrily went to Upper Mansion... Anxiety filled Mu Chenyans mind. She crawled up from the bed but could only feel her head spinning while her body was uncontrobly weak. This was probably caused by those horrifying shbacks and the reawakening of those traumatizing memories. The tight nerve in her brain was suddenly agitated by those people, Mu Chenyans mental state became disturbed while her body was unable to tolerate it as well. Seeing that Mu Chenyan was still trying to stand despite nearly falling, Ah Fu became extremely frantic and cried out, Young Mistress, please dont simply move. Young Master told me to take proper care of you before he left. He said that you have to eat something first as soon as you wake up! Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and panted before asking, How long has Young Master been gone? Its been an hour already. Help me get up and let me go see him... ordered Mu Chenyan. Ah Fu remembered the grave look on Young Masters face when he carried Young Mistress home and rushed towards the bedroom on the second floor. After some time, the family doctor came over and briefly examined the mistress and said that she was merely agitated. It was not a serious problem but she needed to rest. Young Master angrily left after that. Despite working in Hibiscus Garden for two years, Ah Fu had never seen Yuan Xuan going to Upper Mansion in that state. Old Mistress truly adored him. Whenever Yuan Xuan visited Upper Mansion, he would first take a shower and change his clothes before going over in an enthusiastic mood to show his respect. Indeed, today was the first time he behaved in this manner. Ah Fu who had yet to understand the real situation at that time was so frightened that she withdrew to the corner of the wall and stared at her mistress in hopes that she would wake up fast. However, she had not expected that her mistress would actually insist on going to Upper Mansion even though she was so weak when she woke up. The girl was suddenly stunned from fear because she was worried that Yuan Xuan would me her for not properlypleting her duties upon his return. Young Mistress, you cant go like this. Something will definitely happen to you in your current state! Although Ah Fu did not know what exactly had happened, she guessed that it was rted to her mistress illness by observing Young Masters reactions. Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with the girl. She struggled and got up. As she looked into the mirror to tidy her hair, she noticed that herplexion was indeed terrifyingly pale. She changed into a light yellow low-neck sweater and wrapped herself in a in coat. She ignored Ah Fus objections and went to Upper Mansion. Chapter 96 - As Far As Yuan Xuan Was Concerned, He Never Loved Her

Chapter 96: As Far As Yuan Xuan Was Concerned, He Never Loved Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The words that followed made her heart turn ice cold. Its not necessary for Little Xuan to investigate this matter! Nheless, Mu Chenyan is already in such a pitiful state. Shed have no ce to hide if she left the Yuan household now C Im only being kind to her because shes so pitiful. The public perspective of the matters regarding both the Yuan Family and the Mu Family has always been undesirable. Thus, letting her stay with the Yuan Family could be considered a means of making up for the Yuan Familys reputation. Old Mistress Yuan was clearly surprised when she said this. Youre saying that you have a goal behind why youre keeping her? The Yuan Family is prosperous in many ways andcking in nothing, but it just so happens that Little Xuancks a bedmate. Grandmother, please treat her a little better for my sake. When she heard Yuan Xuan saying these things, Mu Chenyan looked like she blew a blood vessel. He only treated her well as a way to mentally redeem himself. Was he staying with without feeling any sort affection toward her? Sheughed at herself. She had expected too much from him! Had she not had mixed feelings for Yuan Xuan since a long time ago? She had been fatally attracted to his determined spirit during her youth. As her deep love for him persisted for over a decade, it would alsomonly override any resentment she felt toward him. Every time she indulged him, that temporary happiness would drown her and make her forget the fact that she had fallen so far from grace because of the Yuan Family. After she sobered up, she would realize that she deeply resented this man. He yed an undeniable part in her fathers death, her mothers injuries, the two years she lost, and the circumstances that befell her brother whom she did not know the state of. She had initially nned to leave him once she had made all the necessary preparations, but she looked at their rtionship now, sheughed. Those amorous nights were ironic because Yuan Xuan had simrly merely wanted a bedmate to keep him warm. Yuan Xuans words had awakened her from her nightmare. Mu Chenyan suddenly understood that as far as Yuan Xuan was concerned, he had never loved her. Mu Chenyans entire body shivered while her beautiful face turned pale. She wanted to step forward and leave but her legs were as heavy as lead, making it impossible for her to budge. She only heard Old Mistress sneer before replying, Then am I supposed to treat Mu Chenyan the same way I treat you? Im afraid that she hasnt learned to be grateful yet because shes already provoked you intoing and seek revenge today. No matter how well I treat her in the future, itll already be ingrained in her heart that I was determined to hurt her. How is she supposed to be close to me then? You dont have to get worked up just because you want that foxy woman as your bedmate. When you get bored of her in the future, Ill find you a good girl to call a Mistress of the Yuan Family... Youre imagining things, grandmother. Chenyan never said anything like that. Your grandson just came here today on impulse, so she doesnt even know about me being here. As for the future, well talk about it when the timees. Although Yuan Xuan lowered his voice, it could still be distinctly heard outside. Mu Chenyan felt as if she had heard something that she was not supposed to. Some truths were far better off remaining unsaid. Despite already being a lost cause, she still had to suffer in this household. Just how badly did she have to humiliate herself? Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and was barely able to calm her breathing before she turned around and began to leave. Suddenly, a crisp female voice called out to her, Is that you, Chenyan? Why dont youe in since youre already here? Grandmother and Brother Xuan are chatting inside. As Zhao Ruoxin walked in, she coincidentally bumped into Mu Chenyan who was standing there looking very stunned. Mu Chenyan had neglected the greater threat when she was focusing on the less important issue. (TN: Original text was a Chinese idiom that depicts a mantis that is unaware of a bigger threat, the bird, while it is stalking a cicada.) When she saw the deste expression on Mu Chenyans face, the corners of Zhao Ruoxins mouth curled upward before they stretched into a mysterious smile. Zhao Ruoxin had not heard what the pair had discussed, but she now knew that the things that Yuan Xuan said about having a bedmate were true. She had initially assumed that the Third Young Mistress position had already been secured, but had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would admit his hearts true desires in front of his grandmother. Apparently, the position as the Third Young Mistress was still very much vacant. Her bright eyes narrowed as Zhao Ruoxin struggled to suppress her delight upon making this discovery... There was no reason for Zhao Ruoxin to let Mu Chenyan leave. It would be best if could make her give up now C Brother Yuan Xuan should not have married this woman in the first ce. Chapter 97 - Liu Li Villa

Chapter 97: Liu Li Vi

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When she saw Mu Chenyans pale expression, she realized that she had probably just suffered a serious blow. Despite being the true Mrs Yuan by definition, she was still denied any form of genuine affection. Moreover, as long as she was absent from Yuan Xuans heart, Zhao Ruoxin stood a chance. When she thought of this, Zhao Ruoxin became extremely delighted. However, she still needed to act calm andposed. She pretended to be close to Mu Chenyan by holding her arm as the seemingly harmless smile on her face simultaneously grew wider. She ced her pale little hand on Mu Chenyans shoulder while her tone was filled with politeness C she was almost acting as if she was mistress instead. You should hurry up and go in since youre already here. The autumn breeze outside is terribly cold, it looks like your little hands are already freezing! Mu Chenyan heard this and felt a little awkward, almost as if she had been caught peeping. If she left now, the people inside would realize that she hade over. Mu Chenyan gently removed her arm away from Zhao Ruoxins grip before she quietly replied, Ive just arrived and havent had the time to go inside yet. She then calmed herself down before stepping forward to enter the side hall without any further dilly-dallying. When Zhao Ruoxin noticed that Mu Chenyan was intentionally distancing herself, she calmly pulled back her own arm and followed her closely from behind. When Zhao Ruoxin saw Yuan Xuan sitting beside his grandmother in a graceful and elegant manner, she did not have to verbally express her happiness. She simply rushed over and murmured, Brother Xuan, I havent seen you for so long... Mu Chenyan turned her face away because she had no intention of watching Zhao Ruoxin behave flirtatiously with her partner. The moment she saw her, Mu Chenyan unconsciously thought of Qinger. However, Yuan Xuans gaze and attention were focused solely on Mu Chenyan before his tightly pursed thin lips quietly grunted half-heartedly in agreement. When their gazes met, he saw that Mu Chenyans eyes were filled with coldness. From Mu Chenyans perspective, his gaze was just something that was filled with lust and was devoid of any traces of real love. As her irritation was apparent, it became even more obvious when she tried to conceal it. Yuan Xuan saw that not only was Mu Chenyansplexion terrible, but she looked even more tired than usual as well. Why had she hastily pursued him to Upper Mansion? Thendmines here had not been cleared yet, so why was this stupid woman charging headfirst into them? He felt anger toward Mu Chenyan and simultaneously desired to return home to teach Ah Fu a lesson for being incapable. Zhao Ruoxin became slightly disappointed when Yuan Xuan did not respond to her enthusiasm. Her little face was dyed a shade of crimson. She approached the old woman and pouted as if she had been greatly inconvenienced. Old Mistress held her breath and shot a nce at Mu Chenyan. Old Mistress Yuan would not have been so angry if Mu Chenyan had not arrived. Now that she had seen her, her heart became ridden with more anxiety. No matter how one looked at it, Yuan Xuan was her grandson whom she had single-handedly raised. Even if she was filled with rage, Old Mistress would be reluctant to direct it at Yuan Xuan. However, Mu Chenyan was different. From her perspective, this daughter-inw was an outsider. Yuan Xuan was right when he imed that Mu Chenyan was dependent on the kindness of others since the Mu Family was now ruined. Old Mistress felt that Yuan Xuan had refused to get a divorce two years ago solely because he pitied this woman. Nevertheless, when Mu Chenyan saw Old Mistress looking at her, she quietly greeted her grandmother. Old Mistress lowered her eyes without acknowledging Mu Chenyan. She reached her hand out and pulled Zhao Ruoxin over before she turned to Yuan Xuan and said, In a few days time, Ruoxin wants to go to Wintry Lake to sketch. Since youve been ving away in the office day and night, you should likewise take this opportunity to rx with Ruoxin and others at the Yuan Familys mansion. The Yuan Family had a mansion called Liu Li Vi that spanned a thousand hectors located Wintry Lake. Since Yuan Xuan liked to take care of the garden there, Liu Li Vi was named after him. Old Mistress would also usually spend her summers vacationing there. However, no one else was brave enough to enter as they pleased. Now Old Mistress want Zhao Ruoxin to stay at Liu Li Vi for several days? Although they were both dependents, it looked like Mu Chenyans position was very different from Miss Zhaos, despite thetter being an outsider. Chapter 98 - Why Was This Woman Making Such a Fuss?

Chapter 98: Why Was This Woman Making Such a Fuss?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Excitement filled Zhao Ruoxins heard the moment she heard this suggestion. A split secondter, she timidly cast a questioning gaze in Yuan Xuans direction. She was worried that Yuan Xuan would decline, but she was also filled with hope. When Mu Chenyan saw her in that entangled state, she felt as if she was looking at herself from more than a decade ago... Yuan Xuans handsome face was shrouded in the darkness, but the deep expression he wore made this man look even more enchanting. However, there was an indescribable coldness hidden behind his seemingly normal appearance. Zhao Ruoxin was both bewitched and lost in his eyes. When he heard that his grandmother had arranged for them to go together, the soft orange lights that reflected off Yuan Xuans face could not hide his hesitation. Yuan Xuan was worried that he would not get to visit Liu Li Vi if he declined. Brother Xuan, I wont go if you dont agree. Zhao Ruoxins agreeable, sensible, and understanding manner easily won both men and women over. It sounds like a really good idea to me. Since Ruoxin has just arrived in Luo Hai, it definitely wont be safe for her to go alone because shes unfamiliar with the ce and the people. Thus, itd be good if Yuan Xuan apanied her. While Yuan Xuan was gloomily silent, Mu Chenyan suddenly answered on his behalf. Her tone hinted at her annoyance. Yuan Xuan sat there while his eyes coldly scanned Mu Chenyans extremely beautiful and delicate little face. His slender fingers were tightly gripped into a fist, clearly showing hisrge knuckles. He could not understand why this woman was making such a fuss. Zhao Ruoxin had never imagined that Mu Chenyan woulde to her aid. She was slightly suspicious and surprised, but since she could not understand Mu Chenyans actions, she could only quietly observe the oue. Chenyan shoulde too! I heard Grandmother say that therell be maple leaves at Wintry Lake in autumn, so I want to go there and sketch them. However, Grandmother suggested that Brother Xuan shoulde along because the mansion belongs to him. When Zhao Ruoxin mentioned this, she automatically distanced herself from her true desire of wanting to get close to the man. Mu Chenyan knew that Shu Qinger had graduated from an art college and was originally studying to continue her studies in Italy. Could it be that her twin sister was also a lover of the arts? Mu Chenyans question was quickly answered by Yuan Xuan. Does Miss Zhao like drawing too? Where did you learn how to do so? Zhao Ruoxin was briefly shocked. When the words Miss Zhao escaped Yuan Xuans lips, it always seemed distant and pitiful. As Qingers twin sister, she lived with the Yuan Family just like her older sister. She was also adored by Old Mistress who had even thought of her as Shu Qinger all this while... Oh! My mother allowed me to learn for awhile while we were still financially stable when I was younger, but I wasnt as lucky as my sister. My sister learned everything about it since my grandmother raised her as the daughter of a well-known family. I heard that my sister was even sent to study in Italy when she was young C Ive only studied under a few local art college teachers... Zhao Ruoxin spoke while pitifully ncing at the olddy, making herself seem inferior. Qinger was very talented! Old Mistress Yuans eyes were filled with affection when she spoke of Shu Qinger. One could tell that Old Mistress clearly adored that girl more than she did Yuan Tian... Shu Qinger studied locally for eight years before she took up contemporary sketching and oil painting under an Italian art expert at the age of 14. Furthermore, she had already developed a certain reputation in the art world by the age of 22. If not for her ident, her artwork would have been widely spread throughout most of northern Jiang Nan via various art exhibitions. The Yuan Family was influential enough to have given her this boost. It was truly impossible for Zhao Ruoxin topare herself to her sister in this regard. Did Miss Zhao previously have much contact with Qinger? Yuan Xuan suddenly asked. From what he knew, Shu Qinger would not have had much contact with her younger sister who had lived in City C all this time. However, it looked like Zhao Ruoxin knew Shu Qinger very well. Moreover, they seemed to have a close sisterly rtionship. Logically speaking, they would not have had simr life experiences unless they were genuine twin sisters who shared an internal bond. Chapter 99 - What Happened to His Freaking Germaphobia?

Chapter 99: What Happened to His Freaking Germaphobia?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The questions shocked Zhao Ruoxin. Both of Yuan Xuans hands were sped on his forehead while his sharp gaze was directed at Zhao Ruoxin. He did not want to miss any details. This man was already aposed and dark person. When he used this gaze to scrutinize others, anyone would feel threatened by the piercing coldness that seemed to be able to see through everything. Zhao Ruoxin was momentarily speechless before she looked at Grandmother for help. Old Mistress sighed to indicate that she was somewhat unhappy with Yuan Xuans attitude. She quietly said, I told Ruoxin many things about Qinger when she was younger. As sisters, their gics would naturally be simr. When Ruoxin said that she had fallen gravely ill several times when she was younger, I thought about it and realized that Qinger had gotten terribly sick at around the same time too. It looks like these two beauties were destined to have a close sisterly bond C their hearts were linked! Old Mistress eyes were filled with tender affection as she said this. It looked like she really wanted to raise Zhao Ruoxin as if she was Shu Qinger. If youre unwilling to apany her to Liu Li Vi, then Ill do it instead! When she saw that Yuan Xuan was still acting in this way, Old Mistress finally used her trump card. Old Mistress Yuan was willing to go overboard for the sake of this girl who was an outsider from another family. However, it was inadvisable for elderly people to engage in outdoor activities during the colder seasons of autumn and winter. Even if Yuan Xuan was notpletely obedient, he would not allow her to act so recklessly. It was difficult toprehend why people became more stubborn as they grew older. Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuans expression had been gloomy all this while and realized that not only was this man insufferably arrogant, he had been manipting others all this while. However, after being pushed around by these women today, his heart probably felt horribly suffocated. ording to a famous saying, three people were a crowd. I n this house, the three women here were clearly lively. 1 Since itse to this, Ill apany Ruoxin to Liu Li Vi for a visit. But, please dontin if I dont look after you attentively, Miss Zhao. Yuan Xuan suddenly changed his stance as the creases on his face became much gentler. He fixed his gaze on her, but his tone was just as deep as before. Moreover, he affectionately addressed her as Ruoxin now, instead of the previous Miss Zhao that made them seem distant. These changes made Zhao Ruoxin unexpectedly happy. It could even be said that she was beside herself with joy. She excitedly tugged at Yuan Xuans sleeve while her light-hearted smile showed off her glowing white teeth. Brother Xuan, youre too kind. I was really worried that you werent going to agree... Yuan Xuan faintly furrowed his eyebrows and calmly touched his shirt sleeve before he unintentionally nced at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan subtly twitched, but her face remained cold and gloomy. She icily scrutinized Yuan Xuan and Zhao Ruoxin as her heart silently cursed. Hmph! Was this not the wrong ce to act in a spoiled manner? Were they assuming that the mistress was blind? Moreover, what happened to the mans freaking germaphobia? Mu Chenyan thought that he was making a fool out of himself! Yuan Xuans gaze continued to observe Mu Chenyans face. The woman then intentionally revealed a faint smirk before she turned away and forced him to look at the back of her head. Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin was still rattling on. I heard Grandmother say that Brother Xuan has made Liu Li Vi very beautiful and that it contains rare nts from the outside world. Moreover, there are even some nts there that cant be found anywhere else on the. Most people have never even gotten Brother Xuans permission to go there! They couldnt tell whether Zhao Ruoxin was truly stupid, or if she was intentionally bragging. Her gentle voice continuously droned on as if she was the most excited person in the world. In order to drown out her presence, Mu Chenyan softened the sound of her breathing and acted as if the woman in front of her was not talking about her husband. At this point, Zhao Ruoxin suddenly turned around and asked Mu Chenyan, Chenyan, are youing with us to Liu Li Vi? Her tone already made her feelings obvious. She was hoping that Mu Chenyan would say no... A weary and indescribable look of exhaustion appeared on Mu Chenyans face when she asked this. Zhao Ruoxin reacted towards Yuan Xuan in an excessively excited manner that seemed absolutely shameless. Mu Chenyan recalled Yuan Tiansments of Yuan Ran earlier that day when she had said that Yuan Ran had spent her entire life only hoping to marry a good man... Had she not possessed the same desires towards Yuan Xuan during her youth? However,plying with Yuan Xuans wishes right now was something that she was truly not willing to do. Moreover, she was acutely aware of the fact that she was just one of the many people in Yuan Xuans heart. When she recalled those words, her heart was filled with a deep pain. When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Ruoxins words, she did not hesitate at all before replying, Im not interested! Brother Xuan should apany you alone so that I wont have to be the third wheel! The arrogant woman had just pped cheating couple in the face. Chapter 100 - Mu Chenyan Had Provoked Yuan Xuan Without Doing Anything

Chapter 100: Mu Chenyan Had Provoked Yuan Xuan Without Doing Anything

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan was clearly avoiding his gaze C mocking him even. Nheless, he had only wanted to use Zhao Ruoxin to provoke her and make her slightly jealous. He had never expected this woman to act unconcerned and push him away. A fire began to burn in his heart. His gaze was piercing and beast-like. He wanted to pounce on her and tear off that scornful look that the woman was using to mask her true feelings. Since he cared about her, he would not let her act indifferent about this. Zhao Ruoxin pretended as if she had not heard this, but did not continue speaking. Although Old Mistress adored her, she was still aware that Mu Chenyan was the real Mrs Yuan. Her excitement and joy had clearly caused her to celebrate too early. Chenyan, dont get angry okay? I... I only wanted to get the owners permission, but I unconsciously snatched Brother Xuan away from you... Zhao Ruoxin was beautiful and gentle as she said this. Sometimes, her eyes would look murky and mysterious while other times, they were as gentle as a stream. Mu Chenyan watched Zhao Ruoxins fascinating transformation and raised her brow. She had instantly changed from an extremely enthusiastic and delighted fox into a worried littlemb. I never said that you snatched Brother Xuan from me! Mu Chenyan sneered before she continuing, Besides, you couldve just said that you wanted him. The position of Mrs Yuan is determined solely by your Brother Xuans wishes! This attack stunned Zhao Ruoxin. Her deepest desires had been revealed in a manner that publically shamed her. She lusted after Yuan Xuan, but she did not want him to think that she was being too straight-forward. After all, she used herte sister as a false pretence to approach Yuan Xuan in order to give a good impression to him. Now that Mu Chenyan had dragged the truth out into the daylight, she felt humiliated. Chenyan, that isnt funny at all! Zhao Ruoxin protested in a soft voice while a troubled look spread across her face. When she saw her in this state, Mu Chenyans head began to throb C she was irritated with her own stupidity. Zhao Ruoxin was not exactly a scheming whore. She was merely slightly overexcited and overjoyed to the point where she had exposed herself. However, in doing so, she had made a fool out of herself. After she had said this, she became worried that she had given Old Mistress and Yuan Xuan an opportunity to pounce on her and rip her to pieces. She hadnt thought about this! Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan was already ring at her to shut her up, mainly because she had disrespected the title of Mrs Yuan. There will only be one Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuan seemed emotionless as his deep voice rang out. However, this sudden deration shocked the three women in the room. Old Mistress was terribly unhappy but was reluctant to involve her own grandson in this mess any further. Nheless, she had a valid reason to rebuke Mu Chenyan for speaking in such an unrestrained manner. Old Mistress was just about tosh out before Yuan Xuan suddenly surprised her by getting up. He walked over with long strides, his oppressive pressure instantly making Mu Chenyan feel suffocated. When Mu Chenyan saw the mans stern expression and the angry glow of his pitch-ck pupils, she shifted her little feet. She was so frightened that she actually took a step back. Yuan Xuan hooked his arm around her slim waist before he turned to his grandmother and said, Grandmother, Mu Chenyan has a headache. Ill take her home first. Old Mistress Yuan lowered her head and nced at the young couple. Even a blind person could tell that Yuan Xuan was protecting Mu Chenyan. This little b*stard clearly did not want to give her the chance to discipline that foxy woman... Quickly take her home and let her rest if shes having a headache. Stop talking nonsense here! Old Mistress was very unhappy as she ordered her guests to leave with a gloomy expression on her face. Mu Chenyans skinny body struggled in Yuan Xuans arms for awhile. She was helpless in his embrace because his grip was as strong as steel, sturdy to the point where he could not be shaken. She grappled with him for several minutes but was unable to free herself. She finally gave up and bit her lip before quietly protesting, What headache? Youre the cause of my headache! If you keep making a fuss, then your head wont be the only thing thats hurting! Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse and strained. The deepness of his growl wasparable to a fine wine it that people would feel a warmth just by listening to it. Moreover, they could also be intoxicated by it. His brilliant gaze was also filled with rage that did little to conceal the meaning behind his words... This was a tant threat! When Mu Chenyan recalled the days and nights that she could not keep her legs together, her pent up rage subsided and her bad temper instantly vanished. He had won! This Little Yuan Xuan had won! Chapter 101 - Mrs Yuan, Please Be Nicer

Chapter 101: Mrs Yuan, Please Be Nicer

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The little interaction between the couple caused Zhao Ruoxins expression to turn ugly. Any outsider could tell how protective this man was toward Mu Chenyan... Only Mu Chenyan who was in the thick of it all was oblivious to it! Wasnt Sister Qinger supposed to be his childhood sweetheart? Zhao Ruoxin was clearly unable to resign herself to her fate, so she called out in a low voice, Brother Xuan... Well talk about whatever you want to bring up another time. Yuan Xuan interrupted Zhao Ruoxin, his face calm and unshifting. His dark pupils were dim, and his gaze was distant. All these subtle forms of rejection caused Zhao Ruoxin to lose the courage to continue her sentence. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and spoke quietly to the woman in his arms, Follow me home. Home? Yuan Xuan called the ce they lived in home... Mu Chenyan did not have the time to think properly before her body automatically began moving with him toward the door. Mu Chenyans greatest strengths were that she could recognize and adapt quickly to her current situation and that she was very aware of her own limits. If she were to continue to act up, then things might take a turn for the worse for her, so she instantly activated her obedient side. The cunning and aloof man had yed along with the three women in their over-the-top drama the whole night, hence he had to be somewhat frustrated. He wanted to end the show, so he did not want to give anyone the chance for an encore. After lifting his hand, he wrapped them around Mu Chenyans shoulders in a protective manner and dragged her out of the side hall. ... There was a small garden in the middle of the path that ran from the Upper Mansion to Hibiscus Garden. The cement of the shrubs and arbour were tasteful, and the pathway was paved with ck and white pebbles. Even in daytime, this winding and tranquil path was a rxing ce to visit. On this night, the soft and warm floormps were lit. The pathway was, quiet and pleasant, truly a romantic spot! Unfortunately, the man and woman were annoyed at each other, and neither of them seemed to want to want tofort the other. Mu Chenyan had been held too tightly by Yuan Xuan. This, coupled with her earlier venting and struggling caused her to feel a little hot at the moment. Let go! Mu Chenyan objected, her tightly knitted brows proudly disying her displeasure. Mrs Yuan, please be nicer. Yuan Xuans voice was not loud, and it could even be considered gentle, but he definitely was not ready to entertain this woman! Mu Chenyan actually felt that his tone was slightly threatening. He referring to her as Mrs Yuan was a signal of danger! Isnt the woman with the nice attitude staying at Grandmothers ce? Feel free to go and find her. Im just a bedmate after all... Initially, she had wanted to give him the cold shoulder, acting as if she did not give a hoot about the whole situation. However, the words that were spoken carried an obvious unhappiness... Mu Chenyan felt so aggrieved that she could cry! After recalling the words she had overheard earlier, she became even more frustrated. I take you as my husband, yet you only view me as a bedmate... So its because of this...There were traces of ridicule in Yuan Xuans voice. The man who was initially already so handsome and refined seemed to appear even more dashing right now. He wasnt acting cool as he had in the Upper Mansion just now, right now, he was filled with tenderness. True enough, she had overheard what I said earlier! Smiling faintly, the coy and charming man used his deep voice to tease her ear. What a foolish woman! In ancient times, you wouldnt have been able tost three days in thepetition for head-mistress within the pce! Mu Chenyan did not know whether a person like Yuan Xuan would watch pce dramas, but he sure used a rather trendy way to criticize her intellect! She was so pissed off that her face flushed red. Even if its just a bedmate, its a bedmate for life! Arent you satisfied yet? Yuan Xuan suddenly kissed her ear and softly muttered. Someone as proud as him was prepared to keep his promise for a lifetime! It was just that he was not very articte, and that his words did not seem that impressive C he even seemed to mention it a little too casually... This man who had lived alone for almost half of his life and had previously been ustomed to her pursuing him... It must be difficult for him to humble himself and admit that he was willing to spend a lifetime with her. Hence, the way he expressed his words was somewhat underwhelming... However, when Mu Chenyan heard Yuan Xuans unbothered tone, she became even more certain that deep down in his heart, all her sufferings were only as temporary as a fleeting cloud. Whether it was the ridicule and insults she had endured or the misfortune that the Mu Family had suffered, none of them seemed to matter to him! Chapter 102 - Lets Not Talk. Well Use Actions Instead!

Chapter 102: Lets Not Talk. Well Use Actions Instead!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion If Mu Chenyan could cool down a little more, she would discover where the actual problem was. Even when Yuan Xuans attitude toward her was bad, his tone was still gentle... Unfortunately, the two were not on the same wavelength, and when tempers soared, her thoughts would gradually shift away. Mu Chenyan coldly sneered. For life? Perhaps you just think of me as a pet that you are raising! You had previously abandoned me and let me get locked up in that dark ce, leaving me to get beaten and chided. You taking me back now is merely moving me to a different cage! Mu Chenyan closed her eyes as she spoke, her pale and perfect face was filled with hate... Yuan Xuan frowned and reached out to lift the womans sharp chin, feeling slightly irritated. How can you say such hurtful words? When have I ever treated you as a pet? When Mu Chenyan heard this question, she became convinced that he was so exceedingly arrogant that whatever she said at this point would be considered as her rebelling against him! She became dispirited, and she activated the cold-shoulder mode where she refused tomunicate nor argue with him. Forget it, just pretend I didnt say anything. Will Mr Yuan let go of his wife now? Mu Chenyan was calm and aloof, wantonly treading on this mans dignity. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan was the same as other men in that they were all afraid of a woman in this state! When you wanted to have a proper dialogue with her, she would activate the I-dont-want-to-talk-to-you-anymore mode. When you did not want to speak to her any more, she would pester you non-stop... To put it simply, they were not on the same wavelength! Alright then. Lets not talk. Well use actions instead! Yuan Xuans tone was stiff, and he started pulling with great force before holding her head and unceremoniously nting a kiss on her lips. The kiss came too suddenly as Chenyans mind went nk for about five seconds. Yuan Xuan kissed and nibbled at the same time, tormenting the chatty mouth and stopping it from spouting any more nonsense. Since her return, Yuan Xuan had been persistently feeling that she was not herself. She was now withdrawn and quiet. At times, one would see that she was right beside them, yet her soul seemed to be off wandering somewhere else. Only when they were entangled on the bed would he feel that she was truly his! The look of her face always cried out from pleasure underneath him C this was the Mu Chenyan who had been so love-struck over him in the past! He kissed Mu Chenyan until she was out of breath, and her lips were so bruised that she wanted to cry. She pushed against her shackles, wanting to break free from this cage that was restricting her. In exchange, she was rewarded with even deeper kisses... Every time she retreated, Yuan Xuan would advance! It was to the extent that her body was pushed against the stout trunk of the tree behind her. The friction with the rough bark messed her hair up, even causing some pain for the parts of her bare skin that rubbed against it! Nheless, the pain was nothingpared to the downright burning sensation on her lips! Her lungs felt as if they were being scorched by a zing inferno, and her countless alveoli were desperately protesting We need oxygen, we need oxygen... Her brain was gradually nking out due to ack of oxygen, and her instinctive reaction was to reduce her physical exertion. Thus, she no longer resisted but went limp and freely allowed him to trample on her as he pleased... Feeling her feebleness, Yuan Xuan finally released her lips, but he continued his domination, kissing her forehead, cheeks, all the way down to her slender neck. The mans breathing was getting heavier, and the smell of his testosterone mixed with his unique rosin fragrance filled Mu Chenyans nostrils... Yuan Xuan kissed her passionately between breaths, his hands never resting. Then, he lifted herrge sweater and unceremoniously reached in! The sudden touch of his cold hand caused Mu Chenyan to jolt back to reality, and she realized that hisrge hand was reaching all the way down, ready to explore her forbidden grounds... She pressed her small hands against his arms and cautioned in an irritated voice, Yuan Xuan, no... dont... Nevertheless, Yuan Xuan continued as if he could not hear her objections. His heart and mind were filled with thoughts and desires of conquering her. The beast in his heart had been hungry for too long! As he continued to lock her down, all his senses erupted into life, as if he had been critically ill all this while and Mu Chenyan was the only thing capable of treating him. His body went out of control, desperate to have a taste... One hand restlessly explored herher regions, while the other pinned her arms over her head against the tree trunk. He spoke softly into her ears, Mrs Yuan, do you like me in this way? Chapter 103 - This Was Presumably the Real Zhao Ruoxin?

Chapter 103: This Was Presumably the Real Zhao Ruoxin?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt extremely humiliated. She hated Yuan Xuan! She hated herself even more! She hated Yuan Xuan using these kinds of tactics to subdue her... She hated her body, which submitted so easily to defeat and was lifted to the pinnacle of pleasure with just his hand... Her entire body was limp and weak, and her thin sweater was soaked with sweat. Yuan Xuan carried her and looked at her little face that was flushed red from embarrassment trying to hide itself in his arms. Mu Chenyan bit her lips and tried not to look at him. Yuan Xuan pecked her forehead lightly and strode toward Hibiscus Garden. * Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin watched this perverted and heart-racing scene from behind the nearby trees! Hatred began to manifest itself in her as she broke her prettily manicured nails. When she heard Mu Chenyans lustful moaning, all she wanted to do was rush over and break her neck! Was there a more maddening thing than to watch the man you liked getting affectionate with another woman? Miss Zhao, were you enjoying it? Huh? A deep and hoarse male voice suddenly called out to her from behind. Zhao Ruoxin was so rmed that she jumped and almost fell over after she lost her bnce. Yuan Zhe suddenly reached out to support her. Zhao Ruoxin hurriedly moved away from Yuan Zhe and made an effort to appear calm and collected. She gently asked, Brother... Brother Yuan Zhe, what brings you to the Upper Mansion sote at night? Zhao Ruoxin had not been able to hide her hateful expression in time, and her entire body was shuddering oddly from the rage. She was holding the coat that Grandmother had asked her to pass to Yuan Xuan, but she had not expected toe across such a spectacr scene... The corner of Yuan Zhes lips curled upward into a faint smile. His face was very simr to Yuan Xuans, but itcked Yuan Xuans charm. He sized up Zhao Ruoxins pretty face, then began to grin. Zhao Ruoxin thought of acting adorable. Her eyes were misty, and the gentle glow from the streetmps illuminated the lines of her pretty corbone, making her seem very feminine indeed... This innocent look of Miss Zhaos is better off saved for Yuan Xuan. With me, its better to act natural! As Yuan Zhe spoke, a wicked smile began to form on his face. He had long detected this womans lustful thoughts for Yuan Xuan. Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoxinsplexion changed. She coldly sneered and turned into a different being altogether. Ruoxin doesnt understand what Brother Yuan Zhe means. Her gaze was bone-piercing cold, theplete opposite of the tenderness she had shown just a moment ago! Her attitude was proud and aloof, and the smile on her face was mocking. Her transformation had happened so quickly that anyone would be stunned by it! So, this was presumably the real Zhao Ruoxin? After shedding all the disguises and deceiving smiles, the little sheep had turned into a big gray wolf! Miss Zhao had deliberately schemed to gain ess to the Yuan Family. I suppose its because youre desperate and have no choice, right? Yuan Zhe smiled faintly. Zhao Ruoxin looked at Yuan Zhe cautiously and replied, I did it to gain the position of the Third Young Mistress in the Yuan Family! Zhao Ruoxin said without straightforwardly. Yuan Zheughed out loud. Nice! Compared to your indecisive older sister, Miss Zhaos courage is trulymendable C Im sure youll be someone who will achieve great things! However, I want to remind you that the Yuans Family waters are exceedingly deep 1 . What more, this Third Young Masters heart already belongs to someone else! As Yuan Zhe spoke, he looked at the tree that the two had been leaning against when they were being lovey-dovey earlier on. Youve seen it with your own eyes. How much a man loves a woman can be determined through how intoxicated he is with her body. Mu Chenyan could not have imagined that the scene of her being explored by Yuan Xuans hands had been watched by not one, but two people who were harboring malicious intentions. If Little Chenyan knew, she would have been extremely ashamed and indignant! Zhao Ruoxin snorted. Grandmothers right. That sluts a foxy one! The one whom Yuan Xuan shouldve married was supposed to be Shu Qinger. This was what he owed her! Now that Shu Qingers dead, and considering I have the same facial features as Shu Qinger, I could very well rece my sister and marry into the Yuan Family! After hearing Zhao Ruoxin say this, Yuan Zhe snickered. You want to marry into the Yuan Family? I can lend you a helping hand, but are you willing to work with me? Chapter 104 - Zhao Ruoxin Sneered Contemptuously

Chapter 104: Zhao Ruoxin Sneered Contemptuously

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The savage-looking grin on Zhao Ruoxins face did not disappear. Coborate? I dont think I need it at this point in time. Who does she, Mu Chenyan, think she is? Shes been pursuing a man for more than ten years and shamelessly trying to win his heart. No matter Yuan Xuan will tire of her sooner orter! Furthermore, our goals do not align, so how are we supposed to coborate? Hearing this, Yuan Zhe chuckled coldly. He moved in closer and casually sniffed at the floral fragrance on the woman. Looks like Ive really underestimated Miss Zhao. Youve done your homework well! Before entering the Yuan Family, you mustve racked your brains to gather quite a sizeable amount of intel. Zhao Ruoxin took a step back, feeling a disturbed by Yuan Zhes close contact. She grinned cynically. The entire Yuan Family appears to be united, but is actually divided at heart. Yall arent close to each other, and your rtionships are already rotten to the core. Im aware of all of this! Brother Yuan Zhe, you too must be feeling the imbnce, right? Old Mistress holds Third Young Master so dearly to her heart. Im sure that you must feel ufortable even though youre Eldest Young Master. Your life must not be easy considering you are suppressed by Yuan Xuan in everything you do! Zhao Ruoxin sneered contemptuously. Yuan Zhes expression suddenly changed. He snorted and remarked in a low voice, The one who has thestugh is the one who will have the bestugh! After I topple Yuan Xuan, then youll have no chance of bing the Third Young Mistress! Zhao Ruoxin scowled and turned around to leave. Well just prep our own work separately and promise not to disturb each other then. If you fail to topple Yuan Xuan, Ill still be Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family! Even if you do manage to topple Yuan Xuan, it wont matter to me. You think I only care about your Yuan Familys status and money? What a joke! Truth to be told, the Yuan Family is so rotten that it makes me feel disgusted! Even if you beg me to stay here to be Third Young Mistress, I wont be willing to live under the same roof as all of you. If Brother Xuan is willing, then Ill do anything it takes to get us away from this madness! Zhao Ruoxins pretty face carried a fanatical smile. Yuan Zhe looked at Zhao Ruoxins back and fell deep into thought. The look of this woman when she finally revealed her ws was rather interesting. What she said was right, the Yuan Family was too rotten andcent. This century-old aristocratic family had been keeping to the same conventional routine for years. It was time for an immense shake-up! With this woman around, the century-old Yuan Family Mansion would not be as peaceful over theing days... ... Mu Chenyan was carried by Yuan Xuan back to Hibiscus Garden. When Ah Fu saw the feeble mistress flushed face ]still buried in Young Masters arms, the uninformed youngdy went over and ignorantly asked, Why is the mistress face so red? Did she catch a cold from the frezing wind? Mu Chenyan blushed and wanted to cry out of shame. She snuggled against Yuan Xuans arms and buried her face deeper into the darkness. Yuan Xuan knew that the voice of the woman in his arms was hoarse and that she was feeling so weak that she did not dare utter a single word. He ordered Ah Fu, Go and make some food for Young Mistress. Ill take her to shower. Send the food to the bedroomter. Ah Fu nodded. Oh, ok! Then hurriedly left for the kitchen to prepare. During winter time, keeping warm in the small wooden building in Hibiscus Garden became a huge issue. Fortunately, it was not cold in Luo Hai, and it stayed above 10 degrees Celcius all year round. It was only during rainy or windy days that there would be a chill in the air. Before Mu Chenyans return, Yuan Xuan was physically strong and was bubbling with Yang energy. Thus, he did not feel too cold. However, now there was this delicate woman with him whose hands and feet were chilly all year round C it was as if they would not get warm no matter how hard one tried to heat them up. Yuan Xuan filled the tub in the bathroom with warm water and poured some aromatherapy essential oil into it. Mu Chenyan was like a doll as she was ced into the tub. Her body was immediately stimted by the hot water and she quivered a little. Its a bit hot... She muttered softly. Her fair skin quickly absorbed the benefits of the essential oil. Add this to the stimtion from the hot water, and her blood cirction sped up making her skin turn rosy. Tonight was somewhat chilly, and you werent wearing a lot. Soak for a little while longer to get rid of the cold. Chapter 105 - What a Foolish Woman

Chapter 105: What a Foolish Woman

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan noticed she only had a thin sweater on, not to mention, the overcoat she was wearing was not that thick. Coupled with the fact that she had been stopped by him and had thus broken out into a sweat, he was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he made the bath water slightly warmer. Mu Chenyan was still mad at the earlier incident and was determined not to respond to him. Regardless of how much I wear, it still wont protect me against some people! Since young, Mu Chenyans mother had been rather strict in her bringing up. Due to her conservative and traditional mentality, she was unable to ept the fact that they had actually acted so intimately outside! Moreover, under the touch of his fingers, she had moaned without any reservation. From her perspective, this was uneptable! She thought back to her uncontrolled body and began to beat herself up for giving in without putting up a fight. Furthermore, when she recalled the discussion she had overheard earlier on about him referring to her as a bedmate, a tremendous sense of humiliation overwhelmed her, and her heart began to ache. Ayer of mist fogged up her vision and she bit her lips before using him in a low voice, Im a normal woman, not a prostitute... As she said this, Mu Chenyan turned her face away, feeling so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. When it came to rtionships, this woman still favored the traditional style of partners being deeply attached. If both the man and the woman were mutually affectionate and were in a suitable ce and environment, chit-chatting for half an hour first before beginning was the best way... Unlike today when the kissing had begun in the midst of arguing and disagreeing with each other, and then... Even in such an environment where she was super nervous, he still made her go out of control and moan until her voice became hoarse... When Yuan Xuan heard this, he knew that she was still having a fit. The proud and tender man simrly could not understand why he would have uncontroble lust when facing this woman... It was as if he wanted her all the time and was desperate to vent the surging emotions in his heart whenever possible... It was as if repression of more than ten years had finally gained permission to run rampant, and regardless of how self-disciplined he was, he would still lose control upon hearing her sweet voice. Where was the so-called abstinence? Men are different from women. Sometimes we cant control ourselves that easily unlike you guys. It was rare for Yuan Xuan to be willing to humble himself and exin things to her. The mans face was still cold and emotionless, and the words he spoke sounded stiff. Except when interacting with Grandmother, Yuan Xuan had never seemed to gently coax anyone else. Being able to give this solitary sentence to exin himself was already considered his limit. Mu Chenyan thought back to thest time when she had not satisfied him such that his appetite was not fulfilled, and he had went to take a cold shower with a dark face without pestering her further. Apparently, treating a bedmate like this was already more than enough. Mu Chenyan sneered contemptuously and remarked softly, No wonder they had to marry three or four wives in ancient times. It was probably to satiate the bestial desire like a certain someone... No matter what, Yuan Xuan was still the son of the most prestigious aristocratic family in Luo Hai. Not to mention his own brilliance and his sessful career, his handsome appearance coupled with the blessed air of nobility, many women could only dream of throwing themselves at him. However, Mu Chenyans words had reduced such an excellent man to a mere beast! Yuan Xuan pondered to himself. This woman was well-read and knowledgeable, but when it came to the intimate activity between a man and a woman, she was simply too foolish. In the past, she had followed him around like a fool, reading up and unyielding in her attempts of figuring out a way to acquire him. Her person was like a small dog that was on the hunt, yet her personality was very much like that of an Akita dog! Now that she had gotten her wish of bing Mrs Yuan, she was giving him the cold-shoulder and refusing him like nobodys business... Could it be that the romance she yearned for was a marriage without sex? What a foolish woman! Thinking of how she was treating the matter, Yuan Xuan could not suppress his discontent and suddenly uttered. He was thinking to himself that this kind of woman needed a lot more education. Instead of using words to express love, it was better for a man to prove it with action. Moreover, he truly had germophobia, and it had already reached itstter stages. He, only had her as his woman! Chapter 106 - Id Really Be Out of My Mind to Wait for You

Chapter 106: Id Really Be Out of My Mind to Wait for You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan would always call her foolish, and Mu Chenyan would always get irritated by this. How exactly was she a fool? Before going to Ennd, she was the famed, number one socialite in the Southeast Region. Even when studying abroad, she was a brilliantly talented woman in school, yet now she was constantly being called a fool by this man... The most foolish thing she had done was actually to follow him around for more than ten years! Just as she was about to rebut, Ah Fus soft and gentle voice called out to them from outside. Young Master, the Yang Chun Noodles (TN: in noodles with broth) are ready. Is Young Mistress ready to eat it now? Mu Chenyan was indeed famished. After being out the entire day and going through so many events, the battery in her body had long been drained. Under the temptation of hot water and food, all the cells in her body which previously been in battle mode suddenly began to call out: Master, stop arguing. We need that bowl of Yang Chun Noodles! Hungry? Yuan Xuan saw the desire in her eyes and lowered his voice to ask coyly. Mu Chenyan hurriedly nodded her head, her big lively eyes glowing with hope. Yuan Xuan cooled off and scooped her out of the water. After wrapping her in a bath towel, he carried her to the fabric sofa. Then, Ah Fu brought over the steaming hot Yang Chun Noodles and ced it in front of her. On the small tea table was also Ah Fus self-made sweet glutinous rice wine. The noodles were in, but after sprinkling some green onions on top of it and adding a few drops of sesame oil, it became extremely aromatic... Mu Chenyan smelt it and gulped loudly. She had never thought that noodles could be so appealing! After slurping down half a bowl, little beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead. Yuan Xuan furrowed his brows and thought to himself, When did this woman start to eat in such a down-to-earth manner? He wondered whether the two years of prison had caused her to abandon the reserved manner the youngdies of the aristocratic families were expected to maintain while dining. However, this was a good thing. As he watched her eat, even Yuan Xuan felt his stomach grumble. Moreover, more leeway would be given to an attractive person. Yuan Xuan even felt that there was nothing wrong about a woman bing a foodie. Being chubby was not so bad either as it was better thaning home to a chopstick that did nothing to help warm the bed. Warming the bed had not, in fact, deviated from bedmate! ... When Mu Chenyan finished the bowl, she let out a loud burp... Her pale face was now rosy, and her lips had returned to its usual shade of redness. Ah Fu took the bowl away and sneaked a peek at the state of her masters. Everything seemed to be back to peace and quiet. The girl then let out a sigh of relief and retreated. Seeing that she was now content and recalling the eventful day, Yuan Xuan felt that it was time to let her have a good rest. He got up and went to the bathroom. However, right before leaving, he said to Mu Chenyan, Wait for me, well sleep together in a while. Mu Chenyans mind was quickly processing what she had just heard, and the conclusion she arrived at frightened her to the core could it be that this pervert still wanted to continue their earlier exploits? Yuan Xuan would be so hurt if he knew that she had regarded him as such a disgusting person... Mu Chenyan quietly counted the days in her heart. The thrice a week quota had already been fulfilled for this week, so she did not owe him anything. Huh! This agreement was indeed in ordance with the bedmate strategy! Mu Chenyanughed coldly and thought to herself, Id really be out of my mind to wait for you! Meanwhile, the sound of rushing water was hearding from the bathroom. While he took his shower, the cunning woman quickly wormed into the bed. She would pretend to be asleep! ... Yuan Xuan came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. On his bronzed skin, crystal clear water droplets were dribbling down his V-line abs. The toned-up muscles were firm and full of sticity, and they were absolutely alluring...He did not like to smile, and his facial features were distinct. No matter one looked from whichever angle, the charm of this puritanical handsome man was definitely top-notch...Mu Chenyan covered her head with the nket and only exposed an eye as she peeked through the nket. In fact, she was taking in the view right before her eyes! Every time when they were together, those throbbing muscles would end up causing her to feel sore. The inherent physical strength and energy of this man were way beyond herprehension... Chapter 107 - She Could Not Resist His Temptation

Chapter 107: She Could Not Resist His Temptation

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan bashfully shrunk her head into her body. She could not resist this temptation! She herself could admit it! Yuan Xuan looked at the small bump on the bed where the woman was coiledfortably underneath the nket. In order to help cover up for herself, she even let out a light snore... Yuan Xuan had initially wanted to talk to her about the matter regarding Zhao Ruoxin, but after seeing that she was intentionally avoiding him, he could do nothing but let it go. There were some things she was better off not knowing. Being unaware meant that she wouldnt need to bear such a huge load! After all, the old her had suffered tremendously, and he had only learnt about it today... ... After the conversation with Zhao Ruoxin at the Upper Mansion, Yuan Zhe had returned to the Peace Mansion where the second son was staying. The architecture of the Peace Mansion was modeled after the Japaneses one bowl of soup concept. From the north to the south, the Peace Mansion was in the shape of a gigantic H. The block on the east side had three levels, which was where Yuan Tangzhong and Xue Meiwei lived. There were two floors on the west side, which was where Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya had moved into after they had married. In between the east and the west block was a ss corridor connecting both the wings. The parents and the children were near each other, yet they were not exactly living under the same roof. Furthermore, there was a huge public garden below. The Yuan Family Mansion stretched nearly a thousand acres, and the three sub-mansions were built to surround the Upper Mansion where Old Mistress lived. When Yuan Xuans parents were still alive, he had been living at the Longevity Mansion until he was five. After the Yuan Tangbai couple had passed away, Old Mistress had closed off the Longevity Mansion, afraid that it might evoke Yuan Xuans memories of the past. Hence, she hadmissioned for the single building, Hibiscus Garden, to be built for him near the Upper Mansion. Yuan Xuan had been living there since his return from overseas. However, this kind of special treatment was not extended to Yuan Zhe and Yuan Zhuan. Even after marrying, Yuan Zhe could only continue staying at his old mansion. Compared to the houses of the lower middle-ss folks who were struggling in Luo Hai City, the living conditions of the Yuan Family were considered extremely luxurious. To use a months pay of tens of thousands to pay for a house which cost a few ten thousand per square meter,boring continuously every month, gasping for breath under the weight of living in a fast-paced city, and thinking about that nagging bank loan that needs to be repaid this month; only a handful of people did not have to deal with this kind of lifestyle! Nheless, as statuses differed, so did the requirement for things. From Yuan Zhes perspective, although Hibiscus Garden was not that luxurious, yet, in such arge family, being able to own a single mansion was a kind of symbol of status. Moreover, the entire Southeast Region, Luo Hai, and Yuan Family would only pay attention to the Third Young Master. What about him, Eldest Young Master? Yuan Zhe had always felt inferior in this regard! This sense of imbnced was inherited from his father. He smoked a cigarette at the summer house downstairs. After that, he threw down the cigarette and stamped it into the soil. Everyone in the Yuan Family was a crook! As he thought of this, a strange smile appeared on Yuan Zhes dark face. When Wen Ya came out from the living room, she spotted him about to light a second cigarette. The gentle and considerate woman reached out to stop him and before asking softly, Where did you go to just now? Its sote and youre still smoking out here, unafraid of catching a cold... Yuan Zhe sneered coldly. The unrestrained and moody man looked at his wife with a sinister gaze. With regards to beauty, none in Luo Hai could rival Wen Ya. Back then, someone had evaluated the youngdies of the aristocratic families of Luo Hai, and Wen Ya was named one of the four great socialites. Moreover, when it came to talent, this woman was well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also capable of working independently in the outside world. As Yuan Zhe was involved in politics, there were times when he was not avable, so Wen Ya would represent him and help him to manage his businesses. The Yuan Familys stores thrived under her management, and even Yuan Xuanmended on his sister-inw on her talent. When it came to personality, even a picky woman such as Old Mistress Yuan was won over by Wen Ya. After Yuan Ran, Wen Ya was the mostpetent member of the family, ever moreso than him, the blood-rted grandson. Yuan Zhe suddenly reached out and pinched Wen Yas smooth and glowing cheek. He pinched so hard that Wen Yas pinkish face instantly became red. Chapter 108 - Only the Feet Knew Whether the Shoes Were Actually Comfortable

Chapter 108: Only the Feet Knew Whether the Shoes Were Actually Comfortable

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya knitted her brow due to the pain, and she grabbed Yuan Zhes arm to protest. Are you crazy? Youre hurting me. Let go! Yuan Zhe did not release his grip but shifted his hand to grab her sharp chin and mped down on it hard, his tone full of scorn. Wasnt Mrs Yuan tailing me just now? Didnt you see where I went? You know the answer, and yet you ask! Wen Ya trembled, but she could not lose her cool. She fixed her eyes on Yuan Zhe and coldly sneered. Ill have to ask then, where did Mr Yuan go off to just now? Are you actually afraid of being found out? Yuan Zhe appeared to have seen through this womans tricks. He held her slender swan-like neck with traces of a smile on his face. Then, heughed wickedly in an insolent manner. Wen Ya, your coaxing tricks are effective on Old Mistress, but dont you try them on me! You should have known what kind of man I am since the day your father sent you to my bed. Rather than concerning yourself with me, itll be better for you to first understand your ce! Wen Ya quivered from rage, and she closed her eyes, unwilling to take another look at this man! The insuppressible disgust, hatred, grief, and despair in her heart bubbled up from the depths of her heart. Yuan Zhe, throughout my entire life, the thing that I regret the most is listening to my fathers words to marry you... As Wen Ya spoke, a tear formed in her eye before it raced out of the corner of her eye, showing an unsufferable bitterness that even she herself could not bear to take. But since Im already married to you, I just hope that youll appreciate me... Were, after all, husband and wife... Wen Yas expression was of one in extreme agony. Such a gentle and amiable girl should be treated kindly, appreciated, and cherished no matter what! However, reality never turned out ording to how one wished. Yuan Zhe looked at Wen Yas exceedingly pretty face without batting an eyelid and growled sinisterly. Husband and wife? Dont think that Im unaware of the real reason why you married me! He forcefully released Wen Ya as he spoke. Who would want a woman like you if you were to actually step out of the Yuan Family? If you want to safely secure your status as Mrs Yuan, then know your ce and meddle less in my affairs! Otherwise, youll get more than what you bargained for! The woman lost her bnce and fell a few steps backward,nding heavily on the ground. She painfully lifted her head and met Yuan Zhes savage gaze. She couldnt turn away in time and was hurt by his cold stare. Wen Ya finally understood what an unwarmable stone was... Yuan Zhes face showed that she had only got herself to me! Yuan Zhe, Arent you aware of the reason... why Im trapped in the Yuan Family...? The words were caught in Wen Yas throat, and she began to choke up as she spoke, her thin shoulders shaking from the wild emotions. After so many years, dont you have... even just a smidgen of pity or guilt...? What do you think? Yuan Zhe scowled before turning around and entering the hall without sparing the miserable woman on the floor a second nce. Wen Ya sat on the ground. Traces of blood were oozing out of her palms as a result of the fall. She looked at her bloody hands and didnt feel any pain at all... The woman who was deeply sorrowful suddenly began tough. Her drooping head was buried deep into her knees, and she wasughing almost wildly in manner. Her shoulders were shaking, andrge drops of tears sshed onto the ground. She wasntughing at the situation, but herself, for being so foolish. After so many years, she was still living in a dream without any self-reflection! The pretense of love and blissfulness disyed in the Yuan Family before the outsiders was simr to putting on a pair of unfitting shoes. However, only the feet knew whether the shoes were actuallyfortable... Chapter 109 - Hopefully, Their Kids Would Have the Same Appetite As Her

Chapter 109: Hopefully, Their Kids Would Have the Same Appetite As Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Meanwhile, on the other side of thepound, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had officially entered a cold war. This woman was already conflicted between love and hate toward Yuan Xuan, but after overhearing the conversation he had with Grandmother, the word bedmate had been deeply ingrained into her brain. Now, every time she looked at Yuan Xuan, she would only be able to think of this. Yuan Xuan was not aware of the tremendous psychological change she had undergone. He just brushed it off as her being temperamental and throwing a fit. He felt that her mood would eventually improve if he left her alone for a while. Hence, he went about in his usual aloof and cold manner, not really too concerned. Mu Chenyan saw that he was not paying much attention to her and she concluded that her spection was correct. He did not care about her! If that was the case, then they would eventually go their separate ways. Not to mention, she had already been dispirited when it came to the intimate activity between a man and a woman. However, now that there was an emotional barrier in her heart, she would struggle to carry it out even more! Hence, whenever Yuan Xuan wanted to be affectionate with her, she would give all sorts of excuses to evade his advances. Sometimes, it would be that she was feeling unwell, while on other asions, she would pretend to be asleep while he was still bathing. Moreover, her menstruation had kindlye to visit her for a few days. So to sum it up, she had not needed to carry out her duty for more than half a month. Fortunately, her boss, Yuan Xuan, was rather lenient, so he tolerated her excuses. When Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan could be so easily bullied, she became bolder and gave the excuse that the tatami in the small tea room on the first floor was veryfortable and that she was able to keep warm better there. Thus, she eventually moved down to the first floor. Yuan Xuan, whos wife had warmed his bed for less than three months, went back to experiencing life as a bachelor. ... Yuan Xuan was annoyed, but he had no ce to vent. Hence, Yan Jun and Kang Yu had to bear the brunt of his frustrations. The two top-rated assistants did not know that the reason why their boss temper was so bad was that his desires were not being met! They just knew that this ck-faced king of hell was venting his frustrations by cruelly dealing with certain people. These people worked within the boundaries of Luo Hai and had been up to no good for some time, and Yuan Xuan had long wanted to take action against them. Although he should have acted sooner, when he dide around to it, he handled his task efficiently and coldly, which was a little abnormal... A few of the aristocratic families older generation could not sit still as the people he had targeted were their minions. With the Yuan Family not showing any mercy, the old folks filled up thepany lobby... The two assistants were deeply distressed. Tian Qi was slow by nature and did not know how to read peoples facial expression, hence he was not as troubled as the other two. The only changes he noted was that Yuan Xuan had recently lost his appetite. Tian Qi would help Yuan Xuan to finish his meals whenever thetter had leftovers. This was because having been an orphan when he was young, he knew what a waste it was to throw food away. Before he knew it, he had put on more than ten pounds this half a month... Tian Qi was stupefied! * As they entered the final parts of November, Luo Hais winter came suddenly, and the first snow caught everyone by surprise as it nketed the entire Southeast Region. However, even when it snowed, winter in Luo Hai was not that cold. The people who had not seen snow all year round viewed this first snowfall as a joyful event. It rarely snowed in the south. Those who grew up in Luo Hai would normally have to fly to the north if they wanted to watch the snow fall and witness this spectacr scene. Hence, the young and old in the Yuan Family excitedly ran to the courtyard to watch the snow after the news spread. It was definitely a jovial time! Old Mistress was so ted that she gave the order to the kitchen to have steamboat at the Upper Mansion that night to chase away the cold. Due to the petroleum development in the southeast sea region that they had conducted in coboration with the Shao Family, Yuan Xuan had be extremely preupied and had not had dinner with Old Mistress for a long time. Thus, Old Mistress called Yuan Xuan and urged him toe home early for dinner. Can the Shao Familys kide? Old Mistress Yuan was still thinking about her matchmaking role when she asked this. Oh, I forgot to inform Grandmother that Yibai has returned to the Capital City. Hell only be back muchter. It wouldnt be suitable for them to begin to project in winter, so after confirming the contract, Shao Yibai had gone back to the Capital City. There were still other important matters in the Shao Family that the heir was required to attend to! Old Mistress was slightly disappointed. Yuan Ran had mentioned a few times that it was not easy to meet Shao Yibai. Alright then, what does Little Xuan want to eat? Ill have the kitchen prepare it. He was Old Mistress most favored grandchild. Giving him preferential treatment was nothing unusual. Yuan Xuan recalled that his woman loved to eat seafood steamboat, so he gently requested, Little Xuans thinking of eating seafood. Old Mistress was so delighted that she could not help but smile from ear to ear. Whatever you want to eat, Ill have Butler Fu go buy. One can buy fresh seafood during any time and season in Luo Hai.

Chapter 110: She Had Simply Grown Arrogant from Being Over-Pampered

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After hanging up, Yuan Xuan could not help butugh at himself. In reality, he had a weak stomach since young, and he could not eat anything that was greasy or that could irritate his stomach. However, Mu Chenyan was a foodie. Hopefully, their kids would have the same appetite as her. As he thought about kids, Yuan Xuans heart suddenly skipped a beat and he began to have some doubts. He had been working hard to sow to seeds, but there seemed to be no response in that womans body. He began to regret the agreement he had with her. Three times per week? Was it too little? He was reviewing a document in his office and became lost in his thoughts thinking of that woman. He began to ridicule himself as he thought about the tri-weekly sessions. He had forgotten that that vicious woman, for some unknown reason, had been sleeping separately from him... She was getting increasingly bolder and had simply grown arrogant from being over-pampered! * The dinner was held in therge dining hall in the Upper Mansion. When Old Master was still around, he loved to be surrounded by people and to enjoy a lively atmosphere. Hence,ter on, he greatly expanded the size of this dining hall and had it renovated luxuriously as he dreamt of a lively scene where his children and grandchildren would dine together. The wide floral-carved sandalwood long table could seat more than 20 people around it without a problem. Old Mistress usually did not eat here. Nearer to the kitchen was a small dining room, which was where she normally had her meals when she was alone. Today there were many people, so the atmosphere in therge dining hall livened up very quickly. Old Mistress could not help but smile from ear to ear. When Yuan Xuan arrived with Mu Chenyan, the white marble bowls and chopsticks had already been ced in position, and the nice-looking small bronze charcoal pots had been readied. Butler Fu had purchased the old-fashioned small bronze single pots with came equipped with a charcoal burner specifically for the steamboat today. This was for two reasons C first, to keep warm, and second, because Old Mistress liked these kinds of traditional things. Since it was a proper gathering, it was best if Old Mistress was in the best possible mood. Everyone gathered around the table. Previously, each one of them had an assigned seating position. Old Mistress would sit at the head of the table, while the rest would be seated ording to their age and seniority. However, with the addition of Mu Chenyan and Zhao Ruoxin today, there was a slight change in their seating. Initially, Old Mistress had wanted Zhao Ruoxin to sit at the seat right beside her, but she did not expect Zhao Ruoxin toe up with her own n. Grandmother, Ill sit with the brothers and sisters, then we can talk easily... Old Mistress felt that this made sense. She hade to the Yuan Family some time back, and though she looked simr to Shu Qinger, she had not, after all, experienced living together with everyone yet. It would be good for her to take this opportunity to be more familiar with the other brothers and sisters. Yuan Tian stared at the woman with a suspicious re. She was trying to figure out what kind of trick Zhao Ruoxin was up to. Mu Chenyan had not spoken a word to Yuan Xuan from the moment they had entered the room. When they sat down, she stuck close to Yuan Tian. By doing so, she left an empty seat between her and Yuan Xuan. Meanwhile, Yuan Tian wanted to know if this woman would be so shameless as to sit beside Yuan Xuan in the presence of Mu Chenyan. She did not expect Zhao Ruoxin to really walk over and take a seat beside Yuan Xuan. Yuan Tian could not stand it, and just as she was about to blow her cool, Mu Chenyan tugged at her underneath the table and shook her head. Yuan Tian shot Mu Chenyan an enquiring gaze what is going between you and my brother? Did you two quarreled? Mu Chenyan did not want to talk about it. Although she was secretly disgusted by Zhao Ruoxins actions, she would just be asking for trouble if she were to stand up now and chase her away in the presence of Grandmother. Old Mistressover-protectiveness toward her was extremely obvious. Mu Chenyan was not stupid. If she were to voice out her annoyance in front of her, it would give Old Mistress the chance to reprimand her in front of everyone. Zhao Ruoxin was rather well-behaved as she sat down, smiling faintly andmenting, I heard from Grandmother that when Elder Sister was young, Elder Sister would always brazenly bother Brother Xuan during meal times. She would take have a bite after Elder Brother himself had a bite... Yuan Xuans cold face remained unchanged. It carried the same coldness, as if the story about Qinger she had just brought up had all but been forgotten by him! His eyes, however, were fixed on Mu Chenyan. Foolish woman. How can she allow others to sit beside her own husband just like that? Chapter 111 - Was This True Sisterly Love?

Chapter 111: Was This True Sisterly Love?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Miss Zhao, do you really know everything about Qingers childhood like the back of your hand? Yuan Tians sarcastic tone made Old Mistress slightly upset. This granddaughter of hers had never been easy to deal with... I told her those things! Old Mistress coldly stated. Upon hearing this, Yuan Tian intentionally remarked loudly, Oh, oh... She shot a nce at Zhao Ruoxin before carelessly continuing, Isnt Miss Zhao already over twenty years old? She was actually asking this question to see whether Zhao Ruoxin was still thinking of shamelessly acting like a child. Was she only going to eat after the man had taken a bite? Zhao Ruoxin had been cornered. Her face turned green for awhile before it went pale. She was rendered speechless. She was helpless when faced with the Fifth Miss of the Yuan Family who did not y her cards ording to the norm. Yuan Ran lowered her head but could not suppress herughter when she heard this. Meanwhile, Old Mistress looked like she wanted to explode and wished that she could chase Yuan Tian out there and then. Lu Shan was extremely annoyed by her own daughters tone. She angrily red at her and snapped, Youd better not say anything else! Yuan Tian ignored her and stuck her tongue out before subtly winking at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan felt that Yuan Tians zero-tolerance policy had really helped her live a good life. She was probably the only person in the Yuan Family who remained true to herself. Miss Zhao probably isnt as picky as Qinger. After all, Qinger was a child whom Grandmother had spoiled, Yuan Xuan suddenly said. When he looked at the little glutton Mu Chenyan andpared her to Qinger who had been spoiled by his grandmother when she was younger, he realized that she certainly did not eat as enthusiastically as Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuans eyes were indifferent when he nced at Mu Chenyan, but they were actually brimming with hidden affection and sympathy. Meanwhile, the refreshing smell of pine was emanating from mans body, detectable if you were within a certain distance. This sensation that bordered between abstinence and temptation could cause the downfall of any woman... However, his eyes were only for Mu Chenyan. Zhao Ruoxins mind faltered, both of her hands trembled, and her fingernails gently dug into her palm... When they were younger, Yuan Xuan and Qinger were both orphans. They lived in Upper Mansion together and were kept closely by Old Mistress side every day. The other children had their own parents to keep thempany and would onlye to Upper Mansion to have a meal during the family gatherings that were held every Saturday and Sunday. Thus, it was not surprising that Old Mistress adored Qinger far more than Yuan Tian, Yuan Zhuan, Yuan Zhe, and the others. Rtionships were not built on distance but on interactions. Miss Zhao grew up outside, unlike Qinger so your appetite is most probably better than hers. Qinger was very picky about her food... Yuan Xuan unenthusiastically replied before he shot a meaningful nce at Zhao Ruoxin. Mu Chenyan could tell from Yuan Xuans tone that he wanted to differentiate Shu Qinger and Zhao Ruoxin... It would be impossible for someone as observant as Zhao Ruoxin not to notice the implicit meaning behind Yuan Xuans words. She awkwardly smiled and replied, Thats right, I wasnt as lucky as my sister who had been by my grandmother and brothers side ever since she was young... Miss Zhao, youre exaggerating! Mu Chenyan suddenly interrupted Zhao Ruoxins speech. There was a dim me in her dark eyes as she quietly continued, Qinger wasnt lucky... Shes dead... Compared to someone who died a horrible death, the truly lucky one is the one sitting here today. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. This was the first time that Mu Chenyan had publicly mentioned Shu Qingers death by herself. Everyone else merely regarded this matter as an event that had already passed. However, the painful experiences and the unfair treatment she had experienced over the past two years would follow her relentlessly for the rest of her life... Everyone else decided to remain silent. They knew that it wasnt right for any of them to speak right now. Mu Chenyan and Zhao Ruoxin were the real victims here. Zhao Ruoxin went quiet for a while as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Yes, Mu Chenyans right, my sister is gone! Sometimes when I look at the pictures of my sister when she was younger, I feel like she was another version of myself that lived with the Yuan Family... Everyone became slightly emotional when they heard Zhao Ruoxin speak. Aside from Mu Chenyan, everyone here had connected deeply with Shu Qinger when she was younger. Youre right, Chenyan. My sisters life was miserable... From the beginning to the end, this aspect of Zhao Ruoxins behavior truly surprised everyone. Unlike everyone else, she had never once questioned the sole suspect Mu Chenyan... Even Feng Rao had been more suspicious than her! From another perspective, it seemed that Zhao Ruoxin was perhaps more concerned with Yuan Xuan than Shu Qinger... Was this true sisterly love? Chapter 112 - If Anyone Had the Right to Be Angry, It Was Mu Chenyan

Chapter 112: If Anyone Had the Right to Be Angry, It Was Mu Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was an awkward silence. Alright, but whats the point of saying these things? Old Mistress Yuan suddenly spoke up, she clearly did not want to hear anyone mentioning Qingers death in front of her. This matter was like a thorn that was deeply embedded in her heart. It would not hurt if other people did not bother it, but a single touch was enough to make her heart stop. As the elders of the second generation of the Yuan Family, Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo would usually not participate in these discussions. However, they got up and coaxed their mother the second she flew into a rage. Mother, its in the past so dont be upset. Once the real killer has been found and executed, well conduct a ritual for Qinger so that her soul can find peace. When Mu Chenyan heard this, she sneered to herself. No matter the circumstance, Yuan Tangzhong was an important official in the political circles. Was he not above talking about superstitious matters like performing rituals to appease souls? One could immediately tell how dominant Old Mistress position was in the Yuan Family. Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin quietly shed tears upon hearing Yuan Tangzhong say this. When she thought of how her beautiful sister was gone from this world while the real killer remained atrge, she wanted to mourn. Grandmother, has there been any more news from the police station? My sisters soul may be protected in heaven but we should hurry up and arrest the killer... Zhao Ruoxin cried while glimpsing at Mu Chenyan from the corner of her eye. Chenyan had an indifferent expression on her face as her gaze remained quiet and elusive. There was no one else in this house who was as anxious as her to arrest the killer. Not only had that person cruelly murdered someone and gotten rid of the body, they had also framed her and ruined her wedding! Furthermore, she had not been with her parents during their ident two years ago because she was suffering in jail... If anyone had the right to be angry, it was Mu Chenyan! Those pigs are just a bunch of freeloaders! There hasnt been any developments over the past few years even though weve been pouring money into their various funds to support them. When Old Mistress Yuan heard what Ruoxin said, her temper soared. Grandmother, dont get mad. Those people arent idiots. Think about it, didnt they already do their duty by arresting Mu Chenyan for you? Since they had already found a scapegoat, why would they need to go the extra mile to investigate further? Yuan Tian spoke in a tantly mocking tone. If I was there, I wouldve questioned the people who were making baseless charges against Mu Chenyan. What would have motivated her to murder someone? Yuan Xuan is indeed exceptional but Mu Chenyan is not far behind either! Those people knew absolutely nothing about Mu Chenyan... When Mu Chenyan heard Yuan Tians biting words, her entire body trembled. She lowered her head so that her gloomy expression could not be seen. Meanwhile, the innocent woman held Yuan Tians hand under the table. It was so cold that it was as if she had lost all the heat in her body. Apparently, the person who knew her best all along was Yuan Tian... Yuan Tian was not in Luo Hai when the incident happened two years ago. When the earth-shattering usations were directed at Mu Chenyan, even the members of the Mu Family did not daree out and help her. If Yuan Tian had been there, Mu Chenyan firmly believed that her best friend would have kept her word and risked her life to protect her. When Yuan Xuan looked at his younger sister, a rare smile appeared on the arrogant mans face. Indeed, if Yuan Tian were present at the time, the matters with the police would definitely not have proceeded so smoothly C this girl would have caused a great disturbance! Tian Tian! You wont be satisfied until you anger your father and I to death... Lu Shan held back tears as her daughter rendered her speechless from rage. When Yuan Tian took this stance in directly calling out Mu Chenyans users, she was inadvertently including Old Mistress as well. This was the first time that Yuan Tangshuo had met Mu Chenyan at a family reunion. Out of respect for his elders, it was inappropriate for him to overstep, even if his daughter was speaking on behalf of Mu Chenyan. Tian Tian, mind your manners when you speak! Yuan Tangshuo was the most famous military doctor in Luo Hai. His strict personality was not devoid of kindness. Thus, he was a stern but loving father who would never harbor any resentment like Yuan Tian. It looks to me like youve spoiled your daughter! Old Mistress looked at her third son and furiously snapped. Too afraid to retaliate, Yuan Tangshuo just nodded and said, Ill go home and teach her a lesson. Chapter 113 - His Voice Was Not Loud But It Was Extremely Intimidating

Chapter 113: His Voice Was Not Loud But It Was Extremely Intimidating

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong scanned his surroundings before suddenly saying, From my perspective, this case isnt such a simple matter. As Mu Chenyan currently holds the status of the wife of the Yuan Familys eldest grandson, Im worried that this murder will affect the Yuan Familys reputation if it isnt meticulously investigated. When Yuan Tian heard this, she felt unhappy. Second Uncles words insinuated that Mu Chenyan was sitting here without beingpletely absolved of her crimes. Second Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Mu Chenyan! Despite being the Yuan Familys granddaughter-inw, no one spoke on her behalf when she suffered for two years. What exactly is the point of each and every one of you pretending to be so grand toward the public when this is the way you actually behave? Yuan Tangzhong was evidently furious when he heard Yuan Tians scathingly criticism. He briefly red at Yuan Tian before he turned to Yuan Tangshuo and said, You should properly discipline your daughter! Yuan Tangshuo was apparently more lenient than Lu Shan. He shook his head at Lu Shan, signaling for her not to scold Yuan Tian again. Meanwhile, Yuan Ran silently reveled in their misery from the sidelines. When she saw that Yuan Tian always getting into trouble, she realized that it made her look more obedient byparison. She secretly smiled at her sister-inw Wen Ya who sat opposite her and said, The daughters-inw and the adopted daughters of the Yuan Family are better received by Old Mistress than Tian Tian! Well I guess thats expected since she persistently tries to get close to Mu Chenyan... birds of a feather really do flock together... Wen Ya was not usually a talkative or quarrelsome person, so even as Yuan Ran judged her cousins in front of her, she merely smiled as her gazended on Mu Chenyan. As someone who held the same ranking as her, Wen Yas gaze was sorrowful and full of sympathy. If that incident had not urred two years ago, it was possible that Chenyan would have been the daughter-inw with the highest rank in the household. Besides, Yuan Tian was only stating the truth. Neither Yuan Tangzhongs position in the political circle nor Yuan Xuans prestige in the business world could prevent Mu Chenyan from being falsely imprisoned for two years. Moreover, they were now worried that she would affect the Yuan Familys reputation. These men were really terrible! Yuan Xuan was silent, it was as though ink had been spilled into his dark eyes. Meanwhile, the maid had arranged their cutlery and food after cing it on the table. The little copper pot was already filled with glowing charcoal and the mes reflected off the metal and onto everyones faces, giving them a reddish glow. He took his chopsticks and elegantly picked up a few pieces of shrimp before tly saying, We came here to apany our grandmother for dinner tonight. We can gossip another time. His voice was not loud but it was extremely intimidating. His piercingly cold pupils were devoid of any emotion or color. They resembled a dark abyss that engulfed everyones misced courage to continue speaking. This was not up for discussion; it was an order. Everyone, including Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo, went quiet as Yuan Xuan likewise continued to enjoy his meal. However, unrest was stirring in Yuan Tangzhongs heart. He did not appear dissatisfied, but his heart was in turmoil. It already seemed like amon urrence for Yuan Xuan to boss people around despite being part of the younger generation of the Yuan Family. Furthermore, he was one of the younger boys among the juniors. The Yuan Family had always been clear-cut regarding the order of seniority between the seniors and juniors. However, Yuan Xuan had never been restrained because his father had been simrly overbearing when he was alive... This little b*stard was all grown up! He was no longer the confused and ignorant youth from the past. Yuan Tangzhong felt faintly remorseful for belittling his nephew in the past. On the other hand, Yuan Xuans gaze lingered on Yuan Tangzhong for half a minute before the corners of his mouth curled up faintly. He exhaled before greeting his uncle with a mysterious smile... Yuan Zhe spotted Yuan Xuans gaze meet his fathers. Although Yuan Xuan was Eldest Sons child, he was younger than most of the younger generation. It would be fine if he swaggered around outside, but this was an autocratic family reunion. Nheless, Yuan Zhe looked at his grandmother and noticed that she did not seem to have any intentions of stopping him. Conversely, she was allowing him to speak. Yuan Zhe clenched his fist under the table as his breathing became uneven. Even Wen Ya who was beside him could sense his abnormally murderous aura. However, Old Mistress did not notice these hidden signs. She was busy racking her brains about why Yuan Xuans attitude towards Qingers murder had always been so ambiguous. He had requested for Qingers body to be buried in the Yuan Familys cemetery from the very beginning. However, she had never gotten a clear answer when she asked him if Qingers child was truly his... Chapter 114 - Mu Chenyan, Can You Be More Observant?

Chapter 114: Mu Chenyan, Can You Be More Observant?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion If Yuan Xuan had thought of Mu Chenyan as the true killer, then he would not have taken her back and the situation wouldnt have developed as such, right? If he knew that Mu Chenyan had been wrongly used but had neither spent those few years frantically looking for the real killer, nor attempt to save Mu Chenyan and bring her home, then what was that child actually thinking? ld Mistress unconsciously sighed. This household looked calm, but there were actually powerful currents secretly surging underneath. However, she was not energetic enough to keep up anymore due to her old age. After Yuan Xuan spoke up, nobody dared bring up that sensitive topic anymore. Since they did not discuss this subject, dinner proceeded in a slightly smoother manner. Even Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe once again went back to looking like a loving couple in front of everyone again. Yuan Zhe frequently picked up the vegetables that his wife liked to eat and ced them in her little copper pot to cook them for her. Their intimate interactionscked neither eye contact nor verbalmunication. Since the graze on Wen Yas hand inconvenienced her, Yuan Zhe even helped her peel the prawns... Needless to say, the two married couples from the older generation were also deeply in love despite spending many years together. However, Poor Yuan Xuan was separated from his wife because Zhao Ruoxin was seated between them. That spoiled girl always gave him a headache. Nearby, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian had endless topics to discuss. The previous subject had not affected their mood at all. When Mu Chenyan ate the delicious food, the desires and uneasiness in her heart subsided. Since she was enjoying the meal, she did not feel so lonely. When she saw that Mu Chenyan was acting rather indifferent toward Yuan Xuan, Zhao Ruoxin tried to be friendlier with the man. She looked for numerous topics to get pass Yuan Xuans line of defense while referring to him as Brother Xuan the whole time. In the end, she was hindered by Yuan Xuan who only gave her curt replies. Yuan Xuan ate in an elegant manner which made the food in his hand resemble pieces of art. Despite being probed by Zhao Ruoxin every step of the way, he maintained a polite but distant smile on his face from beginning to end. Zhao Ruoxin felt frustrated when she saw that she was getting rejected,pletely unaware of her own shorings. When Yuan Ran who was seated opposite her saw this, she suddenly recalled something. Had the same situation not transpired between her and Shao Yibai? Ever since her grandmother had begun intentionally acting as her matchmaker, she had privately met with Shao Yibai several times. However, she had to take the initiative to move things along or create opportunities. The whole time, Shao Yibai kept to his appointments and behaved in an extremely polite and well-mannered way. However, Yuan Ran often felt a sense of helplessness because she wanted to get close to him but could not seem to bridge the gap... Yuan Xuans attitude towards Zhao Ruoxin was extremely simr to Shao Yibais toward her. For instance, when Zhao Ruoxin purposely acted in a spoiled manner and attempted to get Yuan Xuan to help her grab some crabs earlier, Yuan Xuan merely gently pushed the tray of crabs in front of her. Right from the start, he was unwilling to use his chopsticks to help her... Yuan Xuans indifferent behavior made Zhao Ruoxin extremely uneasy during the meal. Conversely, Mu Chenyan happily ate beside them. Firstly, the food certainly suited her appetite. Secondly, she was happy to be idle and free since she did not have to pander to Yuan Xuan. Men cared about things more when they could not attain them C things that were simply given to them were often seen as nd and uninteresting... Since Yuan Tian could not understand Mu Chenyans moves, she simply felt disgusted when she saw Zhao Ruoxin fawning over the taken man. Yuan Tian charged full speed ahead because she hated these evil women as if they were her worst enemy. She had already quietly expressed her sympathy for Zhao Ruoxins rtives earlier, but she was going to drag her Aunt Flow into it too now. Look at her trying to court his favor like that... Oh my God! Shes really pissing me off. Did she break her arms? Why does she need someone else to get food for her? My goodness! Her tone is so whiny. Could it be that its that time of the month for her? Mu Chenyan was stunned. She could not understand what whining had to do with periods. Mu Chenyan, can you be more observant? When she noticed that Mu Chenyan was not reacting to any of the curses she had been muttering, Yuan Tian simply directed her criticism at the gluttonous Mu Chenyan instead. Im not a sea prawn, Im a crab... 1 Mu Chenyan picked up a piece of the crab and gestured at Yuan Tian. She mimicked the cartoon character Spongebobs voice and pretended to speak like Mr Krabs, Great Tian Tian, could you please enjoy your food so that our brothers and sisters wouldnt have had to die in vain? Hmm? She then burst intoughter after teasing Yuan Tian. Yuan Xuan saw the intimate interactions between these two sisters-inw. The corners of his mouth turned upward while a sliver of hope glinted in his eyes. This woman still possessed her mischievous trait from the past... Chapter 115 - Call Me Fifth Miss

Chapter 115: Call Me Fifth Miss

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zhao Ruoxin was unaware that Yuan Xuans smile was aimed at Mu Chenyan. In spite of everything, she became rather delighted when she noticed that Yuan Xuan seemed to now be in a good mood. She continued speaking, Brother Xuan, do you think that we can stay at Liu Li Vi for a few more days this time around? Yuan Xuan was not actually paying attention to what Zhao Ruoxin had said earlier. He had merely been looking in Mu Chenyans direction. He did not think that Zhao Ruoxin would misunderstand and assume that he was agreeing to her suggestion. He furrowed his eyebrows before recalling that he had indeed promised to take her to Liu Li Vi so that she could stay there and sketch at Wintry Lake. How many days were they going to stay there? He had not decided that yet. What? Brother, youre taking her to Liu Li Vi? Yuan Tian was clearly shocked. Her mouth was still stuffed with food that was all exposed when her jaw dropped. Her little face reddened as she tried to hold everything in. Mu Chenyan was not surprised because she had learned about this a long time ago. Nheless, Yuan Tians reaction was too extreme. Worried that she would choke, Mu Chenyan hastily instructed the maid to bring some warm water for her to wash down her food. Yuan Tian gasped for breath as if she was choking. Sheined, Why are you taking her there? Although Liu Li Vi was the Yuan Familys property, Yuan Xuan would usually send other people to manage it. Frankly speaking, it was Yuan Xuans private property. Since he was a proud person, Yuan Xuan maintained a certain distance from everything around him and had certain boundariesid out. No one usually dared to trespass into his domain without obtaining his permission first. Chenyan, are you going? Clearly unhappy, Yuan Tian then asked Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan shook her head but did not look in Yuan Xuans direction as she quietly replied, Im not going! Hes taking Ruoxin there! What? Itll just be the two of them there? Mu Chenyan, are you stupid? While speaking, Yuan Tian reached her hand out and felt Mu Chenyans forehead, as if she was worried that she had gotten a fever... Mu Chenyans reaction was too indifferent, it would probably be better her to show at least a little jealousy... Yuan Xuan thought of the unfair treatment that he experienced over the past few days. This woman had inexplicably turned him into a monk although he was clearly a married man. She currently appeared unconcerned that her own husband was taking another woman on holiday. Because of this, Yuan Xuans emotions were at their limits. He leaned back against his chair before scrutinizing Mu Chenyan with his dark gaze. Did he actually want this woman to start bing envious? He suddenly snapped back to reality as he brushed his own imagination aside. Youve seriously annoying me! Yuan Tian lowered her voice and growled softly, worried that her grandmother would scold her again if she overheard. She really could not imagine that Mu Chenyan would allow her brother to bring another woman to Liu Li Vi. Although they would not act rashly because they were eyes always transfixed on them in the form of stationed maids at the vi, there was still a probability two people developing an attraction for each other when together. Did Mu Chenyan really not care? Mu Chenyans expression was carefree. She leisurely smiled because she knew that Yuan Xuans gaze was fixed on her while her white jade-like fingers gingerly peeled the prawns. During the meal, Yuan Zhe who was seated opposite her meticulously took care of his own wife while Wen Ya also appeared to be enjoying herself. Conversely, since Zhao Ruoxin was sandwiched between Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan, the couple did not interact with each other at all during the meal. Mixed feelings emerged in Mu Chenyans heart as she thought about this third party who had mysteriously appeared and insisted on following her man on holiday... There were still traces of uneasiness in her heart. Thus, she was focused on peeling the prawns to distract herself. Big Tian, do you want toe along? Yuan Tian became extremely unhappy when Zhao Ruoxin called her Big Tian. Call me Fifth Miss! Yuan Tian was somewhat brazen as she snapped. It was only eptable for Qinger to call me Big Tian. Although Qinger and her were not close, Qinger had indeed referred to her by this nickname in the past. This was a reminder to Zhao Ruoxin that although she looked exactly like Qinger, she was not her. Zhao Ruoxin was so surprised that she couldnt even blush. She embarrassedly smiled and exined, Grandmother gave me permission to go. I wanted to go to Wintry Lake to sketch and Brother Xuan coincidentally wanted to go there for a holiday and rest as well. Since Liu Li Vi belongs to him, I obviously need to obtain the owners approval... Chapter 117 - Mu Chenyan... You...

Chapter 117: Mu Chenyan... You...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Zhao Ruoxin saw that the threads of the embroidered silk handkerchief that Yuan Xuan used were so fine that they resembled fine snow at the beginning of spring, she could not help but reach her hand out and stroke it. She quietly said, Brother is truly an exquisite man. Even your handkerchief is so delicate... Yuan Xuan had just wiped the corners of his mouth with it. He did not know whether this woman had intentionally caressed that spot with her slender fingers. Nheless, her ambiguous intentions were indescribable. The people who were present were all adults who understood her blunt actions seeing it... Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was unhappy with the previously happy couple which she had turned into a trio now. The silly intentions she had for Yuan Xuan were revealed without any reservations. However, no one could understand why she expressed those thoughts in such a straightforward manner. Even if Yuan Xuan had really harbored feelings for Qinger in the past, her twin sister should not have behaved like this because she was not actually involved, right? Ruoxin, the fire from your charcoal is going to be extinguished soon. Let me add some for you. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan quietly piped up and interrupted Zhao Ruoxins love-struck state. Zhao Ruoxin slowly returned to her senses before she looked down and realized that the burning coal under her own pot had indeed smoldered. Mu Chenyan used the metal tongs that were encased in a stic handle to pick up some of the burning coal from underneath her pot. She moved them beside Zhao Ruoxin and said, Im not eating anymore. Since the coal is still hot, Ill give you a few pieces... Zhao Ruoxin did not decline when she saw Mu Chenyan moving some of the coal over. Suddenly she screamed and everyone at the table was shocked. Chenyan... You... Zhao Ruoxin sobbed and jumped up from her seat. Her hands were sped together while her tears and sweat simultaneously trickled down. Yuan Xuan who was very close to her was the first one to realize the problem. He frantically turned his head and beckoned the maid, saying, Quickly, bring ice cubes and burn ointment here! Everyone immediately understood that a piece of burning charcoal had happened to fall on Zhao Ruoxins wrist when Mu Chenyan was passing it to her. It was total chaos! The maid hurriedly brought ointment and bandages from the medicine cab. Old Mistress came over in a distressed state and consoled Ruoxin while ming Mu Chenyan. You werent mindful at all. Youre so careless! The burns have caused such huge blisters on her beautiful, fair, and soft little hands... Zhao Ruoxins cries had probably worsened because the burns certainly hurt very badly. Numerousrge blisters were starting to form. Nheless, she was pleased when she heard Grandmother ming Mu Chenyan... Mu Chenyan coldly looked at Zhao Ruoxin. Her expression remained unchanged although Old Mistress was criticizing her. Yuan Xuan waspletely silent now but an arrogant air drifted forth from his entire body, making him cold and unapproachable. Since Zhao Ruoxin was pampered since childhood, that was probably why both her hands were devoid of the slightest blemishes while her skin was fair and smooth. Her slender fingertips faintly trembled. Now that she was burned by the coal, it hurt even when she looked at it, much so since burn wounds were originally the most painful among all the external injuries. Mu Chenyan had thoroughly experienced this kind of pain before... Old Mistress criticism did not even stop for a minute! Mu Chenyans gaze fell on Yuan Xuan but the man lowered his face. Although he did not me Mu Chenyan, he did not help her either when Old Mistress scolded... The others were unaware of the specific details regarding the previous incident but now that this ident had urred, no one was in the mood to eat, especially when they saw how anxious their Grandmother looked. The maid removed the items on the table. Since the three brothers of the Yuan Family all came from medical backgrounds, it was their moment toe forward now. Yuan Tangshuo was a cool-headed and calm person. Since he felt that it was inconvenient for him to handle this because of his status as her uncle, he said to Yuan Tian, You should go and help Ruoxin manage the wound. It shouldnt be a serious issue. Saving lives and treating injuries were the distinctive characters of doctors. Moreover, since Mu Chenyan had caused this ident and her father had given his instructions, Yuan Tian had to undertake this task no matter what. Chapter 118 - You Are Adequately Thick-Skinned

Chapter 118: You Are Adequately Thick-Skinned

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wrap some ice in cling film and use it as a coldpress for a while to reduce the pain. Yuan Tian did a quick examination before giving the instruction. Stepping into the doctors role, Yuan Tian ceased to be mischievous and seemed as though she had transformed into another person. She took a slim needle that was used for acupuncture from the households medical kit. Next, she took hydrogen peroxide, iodine, and cotton swabs to properly disinfect the wounds. If I dont burst the blisters, theyll get easily infected if you graze or rupture them on your own but theyll speedily heal if I open, disinfect, and apply ointment on them now. Yuan Tian quietly exined and consoled seeing Zhao Ruoxinsplexion had turned pale as she cried and sweated profusely from the pain. Zhao Ruoxins voice quivered as she asked, Will it hurt? Will it leave scars? What if my hands arent pretty anymore... She cried and became sadder when she spoke. Yuan Tian raised her head to look at her. She suddenly realized that this woman was rather pitiful because she was brainless. She was still thinking about whether she would be beautiful in the future despite her current predicament. Other people may have scars but that wouldnt happen to you. Yuan Tian prolonged her words on purpose when she spoke. Why wont it happen to me? She ignorantly asked because she could not detect the implicit meaning behind Yuan Tians words. Yuan Tian pondered before she earnestly answered, Thats because youre... hmm... adequately thick-skinned... Yuan Tian was really too mischievous! Mu Chenyan could not help herself from wanting tough when she heard this. However, she knew that this was hardly an appropriate asion to do so. When Zhao Ruoxin also realized that Yuan Tian was speaking in a roundabout manner, her little face that was initially pale then turned purplish-red instead. However, she could look at Yuan Xuan pitifully because it was inappropriate for her to throw a tantrum. Yuan Xuan unconsciously gazed at Mu Chenyan before looking back at Zhao Ruoxin. The former was calm and quiet while thetter looked pitiful and pathetic. The man faintly smiled but did not interfere with his cousins atrocious behavior. Its fine. Trust Tian Tian. Although she can be blunt with her words, her skills are not bad. Yuan Xuans words were meant tofort Zhao Ruoxin. However, he had provoked Yuan Tian by consoling Zhao Ruoxin. Since she did not dare to directly defy Yuan Xuan, she shot daggers with her gaze instead. She thought to herself, Hes calling me rude although he was the one who spurred on so many love affairs because of his devilishly good looks? ? There were supposedly no more problems once her wounds were fully treated. However, when Old Mistress saw that Zhao Ruoxins eyes now resembled rotten peaches from all that crying, she felt that Mu Chenyan had be a bigger eyesore. She felt that this matter would not be resolved if she did not settle the score for Ruoxin. Why are you so careless? Adding charcoal to increase the fire was the maids job in the first ce. Not only were you unable to do it on your own, you even dragged Ruoxin into this... Old Mistress face looked extremely terrible. Although she was expected to have mellowed at her age, her sternness was enough to stifle others whenever a hint of rage appeared in her eyes... Zhao Ruoxin immediately responded in a gentle voice and said, Grandmother, you dont have to me Chenyan. I was careless and couldnt avoid it while Chenyan was merely being kind and helping me. If you scold her, Ill feel extremely apologetic deep down instead. Look at Ruoxin, shes kind and honest from the bottom of her heart. Are you still unwilling to apologize to her? Grandmothers tone was already extraordinarily solemn. The entire household held their breath as they were too afraid to imagine how everything would turn out if Mu Chenyan refused to apologize. Previously, Mu Chenyan could not fully understand why Old Mistress did not like her. However, she finally figured it out after slowly mulling over it... To the Old Mistress, Yuan Xuan was not merely her grandson but her personal property in a sense. Thus, Mu Chenyans presence resembled an outsider who wanted to snatch away her belongings... Chapter 119 - Yuan Xuan Who Silently Remained on the Sidelines All Along Was Suddenly Set in Motion

Chapter 119: Yuan Xuan Who Silently Remained on the Sidelines All Along Was Suddenly Set in Motion

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The corners of Mu Chenyans mouth curled into a faint smile while she continued to appear indifferent. She remained silent to rebuff Old Mistress. This woman who was very close to Yuan Tian had been influenced by that girls innate unruliness. She looked delicate and feeble but she was actually stubborn right down to the bone. It was still eptable because Yuan Tian was a member of the Yuan Family but Mu Chenyan was not given that her surname is Mu. What right did she have to behave in an atrocious manner in front of her? Are you going to apologize to Ruoxin or not? Old Mistress coldly ordered. Wen Ya hurriedly but discreetly tugged at Mu Chenyans cuff while whispering, It doesnt matter if you just apologize. Itll be fine once you say it... Dont make Grandmother angry! Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya was a peacemaker but it was difficult for Mu Chenyan to utter those words when she saw Zhao Ruoxins whimpering state. Frankly, it did not hurt enough for her to cry like this. Zhao Ruoxin deliberately wanted to embarrass her. Once she had apologized, the entire Yuan Family would look down on her. This female outsider had such clear intentions to stir Yuan Xuans thoughts in front of her. Did she actually have to meekly apologize to her despite being the true wife who was ced in a terribly demeaning state? Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Her entire body was cold but her gaze was extremely firm. Her attitude had already determined that she would refuse to do this. Although Zhao Ruoxin saw the refusal that filled Mu Chenyans face, she did as she pleased because of Grandmothers presence that resulted in such immense pressure. She loudly sobbed without wasting another moment... Everyone looked at Mu Chenyan, expressing through their confused and criticized gazes that she was unaware of her own strength. She waspletely abandoned once again. The scene was so familiar. This resembled her wedding banquet two years ago when she was dragged away from among thousands of lily flowers by the police in her snow-white wedding dress. Under the camera shlights, the former number one socialite and the daughter-inw of the Yuan Familys eldest grandson had instantly descended to the lowest point of her life. However, not a single person had stepped forward to support her. Grandmother has already said that she was being careless, I think thats settled. Since Mu Chenyan has a headache, Ill take her home to rest. Yuan Xuan who silently remained on the sidelines all along was suddenly set in motion. His wife protection mode had been directly activated. Her back briefly felt warm as Mu Chenyans icy body directly fell into the crooks of the mans deep and strong arms. She was unhurriedly hit by that familiar and refreshing pine scent. Before she could reject him in time, he was already tightly pressing himself against her. When his zing body heat drifted over, it waspletely filled with strength. The crooks of his arms were excessively warm. To her surprise, she unconsciously felt that she wanted to stay there without having toe out. This also made her forgot that they were still in the middle of a cold war... Yuan Xuan practiced what he preached. He had perfectly proven that he would be by her side even if everyone was finding fault with her. Mu Chenyan was instantly touched. This embrace was two yearste... Headache? Why does she have a headache again? Old Mistress was so furious that her lips were quivering slightly. Mu Chenyan was inwardly amused by this. Was this man unable to find a different excuse? I dont have a headache! Mu Chenyan whispered but her tone was gentle. She resembled a naughty little cat, using her ws to scratch the innermost part of his itching heart. Pretend that it hurts even if it doesnt! Yuan Xuan said in all seriousness. His dignified tone made him resemble a decent public figure. He did not even turn his gaze towards her while his voice was lowered to a volume that could only be heard by the both of them. Mu Chenyan was slightly stunned. She could not clearly determine her own feelings towards Yuan Xuan either. Nheless, her current emotions made her reluctant to leave. She gently rubbed herself against his body like a stray cat that had wandered around outside for too long. Now that she had finally found a warm nest, she could not help herself from burrowing inside it. She terribly wished that he had stood by her side like this two years ago. She would have continued to love him the same way she did in the beginning while the Mu Chenyan of today would not exist... ... When Old Mistress realized that Yuan Xuan wanted to help that girl and speak on her behalf again, she had nowhere to disce the anger that she had umted over numerous asions. Her expression hardened as if she was slowly extinguishing the burning rage in her heart. After all, Old Mistress already knew how to properly control a scene and her own emotions because she was a person who had experienced numerous decades worth of trials. Yuan Xuan was not an ordinary child. He was already used to behaving in a proud manner since his childhood because he was pampered for many years. Moreover, his parents were not there to apany him either. Thus, he only respected a few people. If they argued, she was truly worried that he would not just ept it... Despite her entire reputation and the presence of respect, she had prioritized her deep sentiments that were rted to being fiercely protective of her own. By remaining silent, Old Mistress had indicated that she would not intefere with Yuan Xuans attitude. Grandmother, since theres nothing more to say, Ill take Chenyan home then. As for Ruoxin, I hope that itll be alright for me to leave her in Third Uncles care. Yuan Xuan made the arrangements and nodded at Yuan Tangshuo to indicate that. While everyone fixed their astonished gazes on him, Yuan Xuan held Mu Chenyans slim waist before his imposing and dark figure vanished into the night. This was surprising because Yuan Xuan had always been extremely respectful towards Old Mistress before this despite his overbearing personality... Mu Chenyans arrival meant that the Yuan Family would undergo great changes... Chapter 120 - Looks Like I Had Really Underestimated A Vixen Like You

Chapter 120: Looks Like I Had Really Underestimated A Vixen Like You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The weather in Luo Hai was excessively warm. The first snowfall melted as soon as it hit the ground, its traces remained wetting the road surface making it slightly slippery. Yuan Xuan shielded Mu Chenyan as they left. When they passed through the little garden and underneath therge tree, he suddenly pressed the woman in his arms against the tree bark in a swift motion. The piercingly cold and uninhibited light in his ambiguously dark pupils caused Mu Chenyan to be confused. White mist rose as she gasped for breath. The man who was originally moderate and amiable had changed his temperament while his gaze was scorchingly threatening. Both of them were too close to each other. Mu Chenyan became faintly afraid and worried when she detected the familiarly seductive scent of his body that was tinged with the smell of his hormones... It was the same tree and the same person... Inappropriate and embarrassing memories surged into Mu Chenyans mind. Without thinking, she quietly scolded him, saying, Are you crazy? Your expression changes every moment! ! Im not crazy! Whats going on in your head? Yuan Xuans tone was extremely sinister but it was tinged with yfulness. His gaze brimmed provocatively. He quietly murmured beside Mu Chenyans ears and said, Just now, you really did that on purpose, right? His gaze could see through everything but he was still indulging her. His tone was not usatory but it sounded vaguely surprised. Five seconds passed before Mu Chenyan realized that he was asking about Zhao Ruoxins burn incident. It was apparent that he still cared... Mu Chenyan mockingly sneered and said, Its certainly as you thought! Since you could tell, why did you still protect me? It looks like Id really underestimated a vixen like you! Yuan Xuan seemed lost in his thoughts. His voice was very soft while his tone was unhurried because did not intend to reproach her. Wasnt I supposed to teach her a lesson since she was lusting over my man? Mu Chenyan smiled and appeared to bepletely at ease. Yes, I really couldnt tell that youd use that move. Yuan Xuan spoke in an emotional tone that was tinged with happiness. Didnt you say that a person like me couldnt survive past three episodes in an imperial drama? Ive disappointed you! I may survive until the fifth episode or I might even stay alive until the finale. However, you might not be able to endure me... Mu Chenyan brushed the stray hairs at the corner of her forehead. She suddenly revealed a faint smile when she looked at Yuan Xuans dark and cold almond-shaped pupils. Your childhood sweethearts real sister looks exactly like her as if shes returned from the dead! Im sure that this is part of your good luck... This woman who was acting as if she wanted to die had started to test his limits. Initially, he was not upset because she had purposely gotten up to mischief. However, he could not suppress the burning rage in his heart that resulted from the feelings he experienced when she simply dragged him and Zhao Ruoxin together. ! Yuan Xuans dark pupils slowly constricted. It seemed like he was about to burn her with the fury that gushed out. His tall and upright figure created an oppressive aura. Under his gaze, Mu Chenyans arrogance slowly diminished... The color of the floormps were clearly gentle and warm but why did they seem so cold when they were reflected on the womans face... Say that again? ? Huh? Yuan Xuan wanted to know if she was still brave enough to challenge him. Im not going to repeat it! Mu Chenyan stopped before she went overboard. She knew that she would regret it if she persisted any further. Didnt you say that I had a headache? My head really hurts now so I want to go back and sleep. Mu Chenyan pushed his arms away and attempted to leave. If she could, Mu Chenyan really wanted to escape by teleporting. It was unfortunate that she did not know how to do so. Since she was too thin and weak to support her tall frame, she suddenly slipped on the wet ground after frantically walking several steps away. Her body swayed unsteadily before she shrieked... However, she had not fallen down onto the ground as she had anticipated. Yuan Xuansrge arms pulled her into his embrace. He was so close that she could even smell the faint smell of tobo surging out from the side of his nostrils. The scent was mixed with the refreshing minty smell of his aftershave... Unable to hide her embarrassment, her face reddened as she quietly murmured, Thank... Thank you... Mu Chenyan was not worried about the pain from falling down but she was afraid of revealing a crude side of herself in front of him... A single thought shed in her mind as she realized that every woman wanted to present her most beautiful self to the man she adored. On the other hand, they would never willingly show him their embarrassing sides... Still badly shaken, Mu Chenyan leaned against Yuan Xuans arm while her little pale soft hands tightly held his sleeves. She resembled a meek and adorable little fluffy bunny that fully depended on him. Chapter 121 - He Could No Longer Hold It In and Was Willing To Try Everything

Chapter 121: He Could No Longer Hold It In and Was Willing To Try Everything

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan held her waist with one of his arms and lowered his head to look at her slightly embarrassed face. At this moment, she actually looked obedient and cute! The dependent look on her face as she held onto his sleeves tightly reminded him of the past... * When she was in middle school, Mu Chenyan seemed to spend her entire summer holidays in the Yuan Family in order to save some money for the Mu Family. As she visited the Yuan Family more frequently, she became extremely attentive towards Yuan Xuan. She acted like a spoiled child and yed a fool. There was nothing that she would not do! He was annoyed by her and often reacted to her coldly. Under most circumstances, she did not care less and continued to follow him while calling him Brother Xuan... Nevertheless, Yuan Xuan would go overboard sometimes and she would start pouting with her eyes wide open. Then, she will pull onto his sleeves with tears in her eyes and ask in a low voice, Brother, why are you treating me so fiercely... * He did not think that he would see her with such a gentle and cute expression once again since the two of them were married already! They have had a few intimate moments due to the change in their rtionship. Even so, their hearts were growing further apart... She was no longer as naive and innocent as a in white paper! During the two years when he lost her, she had learned how to protect herself from this hideous society which peoples mind was unfathomable. Those inhuman tortures were the cruelest torment to her pure heart. After being tormented severely, she had even gotten a little cunning... He had no one else to me for not recognizing who Mu Chenyan had turned into! If he did not choose this path, Mu Chenyan would still be the Young Mistress of the Mu Family and the number one socialite of Luo Hai. Even if she did not marry him, she would continue to live happily. Why would she need to ever hide her thoughts deeply? Chenyan! Chenyan... Yuan Xuan called out for her name softly and stretched his hands to pull her into his arms while breathing deeply. The way he called for her sounded like the way she called him Brother Xuan in the past... She was pressed against his chest by a huge pressure. It felt as though he wanted to push her into his heart... Mu Chenyan stunned and soon came to her senses. She felt a surge of emotions in her heart and tears instantly started forming in her eyes. She reached her hands out to wrap it around his waist. Then, she buried her head in his chest and greedily inhaled his body scent. At this instance, she understood his feelings! People often recall the past with nostalgia. He had always rushed at the front while she chased after him at the back. It was like a dream to him when he realized that she had lost him... * The womans soft moans can be heard within the house until dawn... The two of them lingered on the bed the entire night. He was deprived for so long and ravaging her once was far from enough! However, Mu Chenyan had limited physical capabilities! Other than some faint weeping sounds and soft moans, her throat was so hoarse that she could not make any other sounds. After a long night, even she herself did not know who she was. Each time she could not hold it in and cried and pleaded softly, Brother Xuan... I dont want it anymore... Please stop... Yuan Xuan would stop and while he was resting, he would sip on some red wine. As he swirled the half cup of red wine under the moonlight, his defined features seemed dazzling yet dangerous. Mu Chenyan looked at his handsome face and well-built physique, especially the way he swirled the wine ss. This scene was fixated deeply in her mind. She wanted to reject him, but she was helplessly charmed by his looks. She knew clearly that the half ss of wine was the beginning to the night that she spread her legs open. Yuan Xuan constantly woke her up from her dreams whenever she fell asleep. Then, he will ravage her wildly and roughly! He wanted to squeeze her into his body and mold her into his heart to show her how he cared for her... He tried all kinds of techniques and whispered all kinds of flirtatious words into her ears. After being deprived for so long, he could no longer hold it in and was willing to try everything after breaking abstinence! Mu Chenyan finally realized that she would eventually need to repay the debts that she owed. Yuan Xuan used his way to express the feeling in his heart he wanted her and he will not allow her to give him away to someone else! This tiring method caused Mu Chenyan to lose all mood! After they finally ended, Mu Chenyan looked at the sunlight thatnded on the cream-colored window gauze and recalled the thousands of bottles of red wine in his wine cer... Mu Chenyan decided in her heart that she should get rid of the wine in his wine cer as soon as possible... Chapter 122 - The Trip to Liu Li Villa Had Finally Begun

Chapter 122: The Trip to Liu Li Vi Had Finally Begun

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion A round of fireworks had finally ended! The house quieted down atst. The satisfied man revealed a pleased smile while he held the exhausted woman in his arms. After more than half a month of abstinence, he got back what he missed including the interest! It felt extremelyfortable to fondle her smooth and delicate shoulder. However, the two circr scars caused by the two burn marks at the crook of her arms looked extremely unpleasant to the eyes! He caressed the two scars gently with his huge rough hand and Mu Chenyans body trembled slightly! All women would care about the imperfections on their bodies. Besides, it was in front of the man that she cared about. I will find you the best dermatologist in the world to remove these two scars! Yuan Xuan said while he nted a kiss on her damp hair. He sighed in his heart emotionally as he noticed that her hair had grown very quickly. Her hair turned from a short bob around her ears to a medium length hair over her shoulders! Mu Chenyan instantly opened her eyes wide open but her head was still leaning against his chest motionlessly. There is no need to remove it! No one else will see it other than you! In fact, Mu Chenyan wanted to say that the scars were a good reminder of the warning that he gave her... * The scene at the family dinner died down lightly. Mu Chenyan had troubled Yuan Tian by burning Zhao Ruoxins hand. That was because Yuan Tian would need to go to the Upper Mansion to apply medication on her wounds every two days. As the child of the Yuan Family, Yuan Tian had only been to the Upper Mansion a couple of times. However, she had gotten so many chances this time because of Zhao Ruoxin. When Yuan Xuan went to visit the Old Mistress, he conveniently asked about Ruoxins injury and fixed the dates for her to move to Liu Li Vi. The burn injury was just a small matter to Zhao Ruoxin. She was actually more bothered by the fact that she had to dy spending time alone with Yuan Xuan at the Liu Li Vi. She was even more frustrated with the fact that she had to bring Yuan Tian along as a third wheel. Even so, she could not offend Yuan Tian as she was the one who will be changing the dressing on her wound. Moreover, it was very difficult for Yuan Xuan to take back his words. Zhao Ruoxin could tell without using her brain that Yuan Xuan was using Yuan Tian as an excuse. This Fifth Miss was immune to both soft and hard tactics. Moreover, she was also Mu Chenyans most loyal supporter... Even if Mu Chenyan was not present, she will not need to worry as long as Yuan Tian was there. * In December, the trip to Liu Li Vi had finally begun! Before leaving, Yuan Xuan was hoping that Mu Chenyan would suggesting along with them. At the very least, it would mean that she still cared about him. However, Mu Chenyan disappointed him once again! Mu Chanyan was cold and her attitude towards Yuan Xuan was still carefree. There was a fire in Yuan Xuans heart that he had nowhere to release. The two of them were like little children quarreling. In both of their hearts, they wanted the other party to care a little more! Unfortunately, they were both very stubborn and would rather run their heads against the wall than giving into each other... * The second day after Yuan Xuan left, Mu Chenyan rushed to the hospital to visit Yan Mei. She had been to the hospital many times and found out that the ce only seemed peaceful on the surface. There were many hidden guards around and there were more than a pair of eyes staring at her. Initially, she was nning to bring Yan Mei out of the hospital while Yuan Xuan was in Liu Li Vi. To her disappointment, Tian Qi actually guarded the hospital personally. ! Yuan Xuan brought Yan Jun, Yuan Tian, and Zhao Ruoxin along, leaving Kang Yu to be in charge of thepany. The only one that he did not bring along was Tian Qi... Tian Qi was a simple-minded person and he will not listen to anyone other than Yuan Xuan. Young Mistress, you should leave! As expected, right after Mu Chenyan finished cleaning Yan Mei up, Tian Qi urged her to leave with a straight face. Without needing to think, Mu Chenyan knew in her heart that it was Yuan Xuans order. She was extremely furious. Yuan Xuan had never trusted her! Nheless, she was indeed not trustworthy... She was very upset but she could not express her emotions. Thus, Mu Chenyan smiled at Tian Qi and said, Tian Qi, the weather today looks very good, I need your help to... Young Master said that Madam Yan is not allowed to leave this room! Mu Chenyan, ... Mu Chenyan could feel ten thousand horses galloping in her heart and she secretly cursed Yuan Xuans eighteen generations of ancestors... Yan Mei had recovered to the point where she no longer needed life support. Mu Chenyan just wanted to bask her under the sun but Yuan Xuan actually gave such an order! ! He was being so unreasonable and it drove her crazy! Chapter 123 - A Burglar Broke In On this Night?

Chapter 123: A Burr Broke In On this Night?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After returning from the hospital, Mu Chenyan parked the car in the garage. As she was nearing the Hibiscus Garden, she saw Ah Fu rushing out from the garden. Oh my, Young Mistress, youre back... The girl was drenched in sweat from running hastily. Her tiny face was red from running and there were tears in her eyes. What happened? Mu Chenyan had never seen Ah Fu cried, so something bad must have happened. My grandfather, he suddenly fainted this afternoon... and he was sent to the hospital... I wanted to follow along but the Old Mistress asked me to wait until youre back! Ah Fu started crying as she was talking. Ah Fu was brought to the Yuan Family by Butler Fu and the Fu Family had worked for the Yuan Family for a few generations already. Thus, they were used to obeying their Mastersmand! This kind of hierarchy concept caused Ah Fu to stay on despite how worried she was for her grandfather. Go quickly, I dont need you to serve me here! Mu Chenyan said, If its possible, stay in the hospital to take care of Butler Fu. There are other maids at home and Ill look for them when I need help! Ah Fu could not thank Mu Chenyan enough. She quickly packed up and left. The house instantly felt very empty after Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu had left. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt as though her heart was empty too! The day when Yuan Xuan left, she felt an indescribable kind of sadness. It was as if her soul was being emptied from her body! If she were to leave one day, she did not know if she could get used to the days without Yuan Xuan. After all, she had worked for more than 10 years for the marriage that she had today... She once chased after him persistently and spent the best years of her life behind the shadows of the arrogant Yuan Xuan. Whenever Mu Chenyan thought about leaving, she would unknowingly feel traces of pain which caused her to avoid the question. Therefore, her determination was not as strong as it was before. She was afraid of this change... * All the confusing thoughts caused Mu Chenyan to feel extremely tired. She simply ate something for dinner and stayed in the bedroom on the second floor. She stared quietly and nkly at the sky through the cream-colored gauze curtain on the bedrooms balcony. The sky was filled with stars and the night was dark. Only then did Mu Chenyan got out of bed to take a bath. The weather in winter was getting colder and she spent a rtively long time taking a bath. She felt her body bing warm and her soft skin turning translucent under the water. Only then, she walked out of the bathroom with a white pure-cotton towel wrapped around her. At that moment, Mu Chenyan suddenly heard some noiseing from downstairs and she was frightened. ! Yuan Xuan had a cold personality and he never liked to interact with unnecessary people. Therefore, Ah Fu was the only girl working in the Hibiscus Garden. Could it be that a burr broke in on this night that Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu had just left? It was impossible! Even though the Yuan Familys level of security could not bepared to a militarypound, the number of servants and guards in this old mansion was the highest in Luo Hai. That was because of Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tangzhongs special statuses. Thus, Mu Chenyan would carelessly take a bath upstairs without locking the front door in the front hall. The fact that the burr might have entered the house for a rather long period of time caused Mu Chenyan to break out into a cold sweat. She hastily dressed casually and tiptoed downstairs. Mu Chenyan leaned closely against the wall, made use of the dim lights and saw a tall man. The man was sitting at the front hall casually as though he was at his own home. The man had an elegant figure and posture. He leaned against the wooden sofa with a half-ss of red wine in one hand and an ignited cigarette in another. He lowered his head to carefully taste and savor the wine, after a short he took a puff of his cigarette. He let out a soft, pleased moan while being surrounded by white, cigarette fog. The light of the arched floormp was a little dim, but Mu Chenyan could tell that this guy was wearing a soft white shirt and a id vest on top. His sleeves were rolled up half-way showing his muscr arms. Although Mu Chenyan could only see the back of his tall and upright physique, she still recognized him! Brother... Yuan Zhe? Chapter 124 - Yuan Zhe Was Up To No Good

Chapter 124: Yuan Zhe Was Up To No Good

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan said softly and her body could not help but froze! He came uninvited when Yuan Xuan was away. Entering someones house without permission was not something that a grown man should do! Especially since Ah Fu was also away today. When Mu Chenyan thought about these, her body became even stiffer. She regretted running down the stairs without thinking twice and did not prepare anything... Yuan Zhe heard a womans low and rushed breathing sounds. He then turned around and revealed a charming yet dangerous expression! Youre done taking a bath? You took a really long time... Yuan Zhe said with a hint of a smile while swirling the half-ss of wine in his hand. The dark red fluid was as clear as a jade! Mu Chenyan recognized that it was one of Yuan Xuans favorite wine in his wine cer. Even the wine ss was the slender long ss that Yuan Xuan liked the most... The things that Yuan Xuan uses are indeed good kinds of stuff! Of course, including his woman... Yuan Zhe said when he saw Mu Chenyan staring at his ss and he stood up from the sofa. He was 190 centimeters tall and he instantly took up half of the space. He shrouded Mu Chenyan with his shadow, forming an invisible sense of pressure. Yuan Zhes words were overly inappropriate and Mu Chenyan was extremely shocked. With both of their statuses, it was clearly unfitting for them to talk about taking a bath. Moreover, even as an elder brother, he should not have entered his little brothers private mansion in the middle of the night while he was away. He even drank his favorite wine and said some baffling stuff which was even more unreasonable. Big Brother, do you need anything? If you do, lets talk about it tomorrow or after Yuan Xuan returns. Its veryte and I need to rest! Mu Chenyan pointed at the front door and bluntly asked him to leave. Yuan Zhe could not help butugh when he saw the serious look on Mu Chenyans pretty face and how guarded she was like a hedgehog. He had simr features as Yuan Xuan and they both actually looked alike under the shadows of the dim lights. Mu Chenyan, dont chase me out that quickly! I came to look for you because I have something to tell you! Yuan Zhe said while waving his hand to ask Mu Chenyan toe closer. Mu Chenyan frowned at how he acted as though he was the host. She looked at Yuan Zhe defensively and moved a step backward lightly. Mu Chenyan had themon sense of keeping a safe distance with a man. Yuan Zhe saw Mu Chenyans subconscious move while she stood still at the bottom of the stairs instead of moving forward. He smiled and said, Come sit over here and have a chat with me. Theres no need to be so nervous! Mu Chenyan was very disgusted by his frivolous behavior and the nce he had on her. This was clearly her house. Since when was it up to an outsider to do as he please in her house? It seems like theres nothing to talk about between you and me! Mu Chenyan said with a straight face. Since Yuan Zhe did not respect her, she was ready to go up against him! I think, you should be interested if it is something rted to Mu Chenwu, right? Yuan Zhe suddenly brought up this topic. When Mu Chenyan heard her brothers name, her entire body trembled. Her eyes shed brightly as she stared at Yuan Zhes face. The excitement in her voice sounded a little hoarse, You know about my brothers whereabouts? Yuan Zhe smiled proudly when he saw how Mu Chenyan was indeed very interested in this topic. He sat down on the sofa once again and raised the ss from the coffee table. Then, he poured another half a cup of wine for himself, ced it close to his lips and took a sip. The corners of his lips curled up and it seemed like he was very pleased with the taste. Mu Chenyan could not figure out Yuan Zhes intention. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to present a friendly gesture and take the initiative because he mentioned her brother. Mu Chenyan walked over and stood at the side of the sofa and asked in a low voice, Since you came to look for me and wanted to talk to me about my brother, then dont keep me guessing! Yuan Zhe picked up the pack of cigarette, took one out and lighted it. He inhaled deeply and exhaled a long ring of smoke. He squinted his eyes and scanned through every inch of Mu Chenyans body. While being surrounded by the white fog, Mu Chenyan felt as though ants were biting through her entire body and she tried to avoid his gaze ufortably. Yuan Zhe smiled and patted on the seat right beside him. Then, he said with a raspy voice, If you want to know, then sit down and talk to me. I like women who are obedient. Only Yuan Xuan is into women who are difficult! When Mu Chenyan heard him talking about Yuan Xuan, she grunted and said coldly, Just tell me what do you have to say! The both of us arent that close anyway! In fact, it must be very sensitive considering their awkward statuses. Even if Yuan Xuan was present, Mu Chenyan felt that it was impossible for her to sit next to Yuan Zhe naturally and talk to their hearts content. Moreover, it was just the two of them tonight... Even a fool could tell that Yuan Zhe was up to no good! Yuan Zhe started to chuckle softly. His eyes got darker and his voice sounded extremely enchanting, I dont feel like talking to you if you dont sit down! The look on Mu Chenyans face changed slightly and she tried to suppress the anger in her heart. She sat on the edge of the sofa a little further away from him. She had a cold look in her eyes and an unapproachable cold aura around her. Yuan Zhe sized Mu Chenyan up and raised his head to finish up the wine in the ss. The stimtion from the alcohol caused Yuan Zhe to be filled with courage instantly! He suddenly reached his hand over and put his strong arms around Mu Chenyan. He then pushed her down to restrain her in between his body and the sofa. What are you doing? It happened too quickly and it revealed his intentions! Mu Chenyan did not think that he would be this impudent. He treated Yuan Xuans wife frivolously inside Yuan Xuans house... Yuan Zhe smiled in a low voice, Dont you know what Im doing? Mu Chenyan pushed him away with her hands and shouted furiously, Youre shameless, let go of me... mm... Mu Chenyan was boiling with anger, but before she could evenplete her sentence, Yuan Zhe had already pressed his thin lips against hers... There wont be anyone else here tonight... If you want to know about Mu Chenwus whereabouts, you will need to pay a price... right? Otherwise, youll never know about it forever... Let me tell you, you wont be able to escape from me tonight... Be obedient and I will treat you nicely... Or else, I will make you suffer like never before... Yuan Zhes breaths were erratic and he nted kisses on Mu Chenyans cheeks deliriously while threatening her with his words. Mu Chenyan will not be that disgusted by the taste of mellow red wine together with the smell of cigarette if it was Yuan Xuan. However, this man would only cause her to feel nauseous and the insides of her stomach were churning furiously. She tried to avoid his kisses while using her elbow to hit on Yuan Zhes head... Because of Mu Chenyans violent retaliation, Yuan Zhe started gasping for breath fiercely. He hastily kissed Mu Chenyans face and neck, even biting heavily on her slender neck... He was not afraid of living a mark! It seemed like he was driven by lust! You bastard! Arent you scared that Yuan Xuan might kill you when he returns? Mu Chenyans entire body was trembling from anger. No matter where her little hands were going, all she cared about was beating him up violently to prevent such a pervert in getting close to her. Yuan Xuan?? Hehehe... Yuan Zhes smile was extremely scary. He stopped his vition and looked at the trembling woman under him from a higher view. Then, he continued to say, Does Yuan Xuan care about you that much? Mu Chenyan stunned and she hesitated. In fact, she dared not say yes... Chapter 126 - Vixen, Youve Finally Come Around?

Chapter 126: Vixen, Youve Finally Come Around?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan wriggled her hands and freed her arms from Yuan Zhes restraint. She gently put her arms around Yuan Zhes neck and blew warm breaths at the pit of his neck. She said in a low voice, What are you saying Brother, how dare I y tricks on you! I just came around to it suddenly! Youre right, Yuan Xuan treats me well right now just to get me into bed. He wasnt being sincere! There is an extremely deep hatred between the both of us. In fact, each time he sleeps with me, I would wish for his death internally! Yuan Zhe looked at Mu Chenyan coldly. It seemed like he still did not believe that Mu Chenyan would change her mind that quickly. Mu Chenyan made use of her body and leaned against Yuan Zhes chest. The man was triggered by her soft body and his body turned stiff. He moaned softly and said in an uncontrobly hoarse voice, Vixen, you finally came around? Mu Chenyan nodded her head heavily, If Yuan Xuan were to really oppose meter on, I still need Brother to help me. Im just a weak woman and my family is ruined. Who else can I depend on? If Brother really does like me, there is no need to be forceful. When my father was alive, he was very close to the Yuan Familys second Old Master. In fact, he was nning to let me marry you. However, I was obsessed with Yuan Xuan at that time... Yuan Zhe did not believe her entirely. Yuan Tangzhong did actually get very close to Mu Feng at one point. Could it be that the crafty old fox really did n to marry his daughter to him? Mu Chenyan noticed that Yuan Zhe did not believe her fully, and broke into tears. Seeing such a weeping beauty, Yuan Zhes heart started aching. Stop crying, did I hurt you? Mu Chenyan shook her head, No! I regret not listening to my father! I did not save myself for Brother Zhe! Right now, if Brother Zhe doesnt mind, we can go upstairs and Chenyan will please you properly... Yuan Zhe heard what she said and his heart was filled with joy. He could feel the blood rushing to the top of his head. He felt an indescribable excitement with the thought of sleeping with Yuan Xuans wife on his bed. Youre not nning to appease and go to the Old Mistress toin about me, right? Yuan Zhe was still a little worried, but he could not resist the temptation. The reason why he said that was to destroy Mu Chenyans back up n. Im not a fool. Cant you tell that Im an eyesore to the Old Mistress ever since a long time ago? Youre her blood-rted grandson. If this scandal were to be publicized, it would be a disgrace to the Yuan Family. The Old Mistress will definitely not help me. By that time, I might not only be chased out of the Yuan Family, my life would probably also be in danger... What Mu Chenyan said was precisely what Yuan Zhe wanted to say! He nodded his head pleasingly and held Mu Chenyans beautiful sharp chin. He then smiled wickedly, Youre smart! He sighed in his heart as this woman was truly a beauty. The skin over her entire body was delicate and she had a natural elegant temperament. How could she bepared to the women who did lots of stic surgeries that he slept with in the past? He was bewitched by Mu Chenyans beauty and wanted to proceed a step further. Mu Chenyan quickly used her hands to push against his heavy body. Brother, are you sure that it is really safe for us to do it like this? Will sister-inw Wen Ya find out about it if you do not return? Mu Chenyan looked towards the front door as though she was truly worried that Wen Ya might suddenly barge in! Yuan Zhe smiled coldly, Humph! Her? Even if she is watching the both of us outside right now, she wouldnt dare make a sound! If you dont mind, the three of us can do it together. I can make sure that the both of you will be satisfied! Mu Chenyan felt nauseous with the thought of that scene. She intentionally put on an angry look on her face, Brother, what are you saying? If you do that, how can the both of us face each other in the future? Shes too boring, how can she bepared to you! Yuan Zhe said naturally but Mu Chenyan broke into a cold sweat from fear. ! Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe seemed so affectionate together. Would she actually watch her own husband sleep with another woman? Chapter 127 - Right Now, She Was The One At An Advantage!

Chapter 127: Right Now, She Was The One At An Advantage!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was stunned and Yuan Zhe was getting a little annoyed. He forcefully held Mu Chenyans chin and questioned with a hoarse voice, Why? Do you think that Wen Ya woulde and save you? Or do you really want to have a threesome? Hmm? No! Im not into that! Mu Chenyan blushed shyly and said in a sweet voice, Its my first time with Brother Zhe, I want to have you all by myself! Mu Chenyans voice was gentle and soft. Yuan Zhe felt even more excited hearing it. He did not think that he would receive such a huge reward tonight! This woman actually initiated to give herself to him! Good! I would assume that you would not dare y tricks on me! Yuan Zhe stood up as he spoke. He carried Mu Chenyan and headed upstairs. ... Mu Chenyan was roughly thrown onto the bed in the master bedroom, which made her felt dizzy. Despite that, she could not be bothered by it. Yuan Zhe had already started taking off his belt and pants. He was enthusiastic and energetic and absolutely ready to get into it. His view was blocked as he took off his vest. Under such an opportune moment, this was her only chance to free herself! Mu Chenyan suddenly got up and quickly pulled open the nightstands drawer. Grabbing a bottle of liquid, she aimed it Yuan Zhes face and sprayed... Yuan Zhe shouted in pain and fell onto the ground rolling. He covered his eyes with both of his hands and cursed, You little bitch! What did you spray on me? It hurts so much... Mu Chenyan quickly got out of bed and grabbed the expender puller that Yuan Xuan used to train his body from the balcony. Sheunched it on Yuan Zhes shoulder heavily. Yuan Zhe started wailing in pain but Mu Chenyan could not care less. She continued to use the expender puller and hit Yuan Zhe hard, especially on his vital parts. The expender puller was made of a metal material. Even though she was a girl, it would still hurt very much if she used her full strength! The reason why she attacked his vital parts was that she wanted him to feel pain even though she could not hit him to death! F*ck, I will kill you... Yuan Zhe was in a rage. He wanted to jump up and grab Mu Chenyan, but she knew that he dare not open his eyes. She got over her fear and continued to calmly hit him. Yuan Zhes face was covered in snot and tears. His face was no longer as handsome as he used to be. Moreover, his flushed red face made him looked as though he was a struggling, wounded beast. Mu Chenyan said coldly, Stop moving and I will stop hitting you. Otherwise, I will hit you to death today and you will have no ways toin. Dont forget that youre in Yuan Xuans bedroom now attempting to rape me! Since young, Yuan Zhe had never been in such an unfavorable situation before. A few hits were enough for him to make him confused and disorientated. Besides, his eyes and face were covered in some fluid. He was hurting so much that he had no energy to retaliate. Stop hitting me... you wicked woman... Yuan Zhe suddenly recalled the day when they were having steamboat, and Mu Chenyan purposely burned Zhao Ruoxins hand with charcoal. At that time, he even felt sorry for her for being bullied by the other woman. But it turned out to be that she was actually the bully! He had really underestimated her. Mu Chenyan suddenly grabbed the tie that Yuan Zhe threw at the side and tied both of his hands together. Yuan Zhe kept his eyes closed all the time, so he was not able to see the look on Mu Chenyans face. Cruel! Disdain! After she was done tying him up, Mu Chenyan copsed on the sofa in the corner. Her entire body was drenched in sweat and both of her hands were shaking uncontrobly. A cold gaze shed through her beautiful eyes as she scanned through every inch of Yuan Zhes body. If this did not happen, Mu Chenyan would probably never get the chance to be with Yuan Zhe at such a close distance. During the time when she lingered in the Yuan Family, all she did was follow Yuan Xuan around. She did not even greet Yuan Zhe with a slight nod. ... Yuan Zhe did not have any energy left. He leaned against the corner of the bed and seemed slightly dispirited. Even though he could not see, he could feel Mu Chenyan looking at him. Suddenly Yuan Zheughed out coldly. The wailingugh sounded extremely ferocious and scary in the dark night as if it was made by a trapped beast. Mu Chenyan... why did I not notice before that you have such a skill? Yuan Zhe calmed down and gave up on struggling pointlessly. He shot his question towards Mu Chenyans direction. Mu Chenyan did not answer him. Her dark almond-shaped eyes were filled with a deterrent force. Right now, she was the one at an advantage! Chapter 128 - Mu Chenyan Had Seen Through Yuan Zhes Tricks

Chapter 128: Mu Chenyan Had Seen Through Yuan Zhes Tricks

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Pepper spray? Humph! I didnt think that you would have this! Why, are you nning to spray it at Yuan Xuan if he forces himself on you? Yuan Zhe smiled sarcastically. There were too many things that he did not expect! Mu Chenyan clearly did not expect this too. She did not think that she would have to use the pepper spray she casually bought online so soon. Since this was the area for the rich, to receive the parcel, she went through the trouble to fill in Ah Fus name... Looking at Yuan Zhe, Mu Chenyan felt angry and absurd with his words. Why would she spray it at Yuan Xuan? It was not like he never forced himself on her before... When Mu Chenyan thought about Yuan Xuan, the abstinent beautiful man brimming with energy on top of her, her face instantly turned red... Under such circumstance, such an inappropriate scene actually popped up in her mind! ! Mu Chenyan, Im talking to you. Do you not believe me? Yuan Zhe suddenly spoke and interrupted Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan grunted and said in a low voice, What? Yuan Zhe used his elbow to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. He had an exhausted yet wicked look on his face. Mu Chenwu has the secret that Mu Feng left for him. If Yuan Xuan catches him, that will be the day that the Mu Family is fully exterminated... Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Zhe from above and said in a calm tone, she did not sound as flustered as Yuan Zhe expected her to be. I am capable to protect myself and my family! You worry too much. You should worry about yourself first! Yuan Zheughed out loud hearing her reply. He looked ferocious but also extremely embarrassed. How do you n to deal with me? Hmm? Go and tell the Old Mistress that I came to rape you? Or wait for Yuan Xuan to return to tell him that I came over and took off your clothes? I kissed you? Or... Shut up! Mu Chenyan jumped out of the sofa and kicked Yuan Zhe in the stomach. Yuan Zhe was hurting so much that he could not even catch his breath. He moaned in pain and cursed softly, Little bitch, youre really merciless... Mu Chenyan recalled where he kissed her just now and she was disgusted. She wiped her face with her sleeves in disgust but she felt that it was not enough and strode into the bathroom. The sound of water flowing was heard and Yuan Zhe did not know what this woman was doing. Mu Chenyan carefully washed her face and neck. Then, she took out a set of clothes from her wardrobe. Although Yuan Zhe could not open his eyes at the moment, Mu Chenyan dared not change her clothes in the room. Thus, she went into the room next door. After cleaning herself up, Mu Chenyan sat back onto the sofa once again. She crossed her legs and looked down at Yuan Zhe as though she was a judge. Actually, you do not know where is Mu Chenwu, right? Mu Chenyan had finally seen through Yuan Zhes tricks. He was lying to her so that she would let her guard down and then vite her. He definitely did not n the action tonightst minute. Yuan Xuan had nned to go Liu Li Vi for a while already. Even if nothing happened to Butler Fu today, he would probably find some other reasons to distract and chase Ah Fu away. Mu Chenwu was just one of his excuses. Yuan Zhe leaned on the corners of the bed and said while gasping, Even Yuan Xuan could not find him anywhere... How would I know wheres Mu Chenwu... As expected! Mu Chenyan smiled coldly and kicked Yuan Zhes long legs, Youve nned this for a very long time already, right? Yuan Zhe chuckled but did not admit to it! Afterughing, he said in a low voice, Youre the woman that most of the men in Luo Hai would like to sleep with! If Yuan Xuan wasnt protecting you, do you think you have any other options with your familys current situation? You will have no ce in this society and will soon be a ything for the men in the upper-ss society! I might as well sleep with you first... Yuan Zhe said very confidently. A fair face may hide a foul heart, he had definitely nned for this for quite some time. Mu Chenyan frowned slightly and her face was filled with disgust! She did not deny the things that he just said since she was being driven into a corner. However, she did not agree that she would soon be someone elses ything. After all, she was no longer the kind-hearted Mu Chenyan from before... Chapter 129 - You Want To Sleep With His Woman?

Chapter 129: You Want To Sleep With His Woman?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyanughed coldly and knocked on the floor with the expender puller. Yuan Zhe heard the sound of the puller and shivered in fear. He was afraid that Mu Chenyan might hit him again and he would die here! Perhaps, you dont actually like me! Youre just jealous of Yuan Xuan. Therefore, you want to drink his wine, stay in the Hibiscus Garden and sleep with his woman!! Mu Chenyan was calm andposed. She had a cold look on her face as if she had seen through everything. The muscles on Yuan Zhes face were twitching slightly as he looked towards Mu Chenyans direction. His eyes were bright red from the sting and he could not open his eyes. Even so, he could feel where the light source wasing from. Youre right! Im jealous of him! Everything that he has, shouldnt I have it too? I... You are not capable! Mu Chenyan bluntly interrupted Yuan Zhes snarling and rubbed salt onto his wound with her briefment. Hearing what she said, Yuan Zhe was so angry that he struggled and wanted to jump up. Unfortunately, both of his hands were tied up and he was very tall. Since he could not see anything with his eyes, he lost bnce and fell onto the floor heavily again after struggling for a short while. What do you want? Yuan Zhe yelled in rage. He did not think that he would fall into the hands of this woman, Go ahead and call for someone. I want to see if anyone in the Yuan Family would help you other than Yuan Xuan! ! Yes, I want to sleep with you, so what? You should be honored that I want to do so! Many women are waiting for me to sleep with them! Humph! Youre truly a crazy dog! Mu Chenyan said briefly and looked at Yuan Zhe boringly, Why would such a good woman like Wen Ya choose to be with a beast like you? She recalled the scene that he mentioned just now. Wen Ya actually put up with his perverted actions and Mu Chenyan suddenly felt sorry for her. Why did such a gentle and sweet woman choose to be with someone like that for the rest of her life? Mu Chenyan had never understood why did Wen Ya got married to Yuan Zhe after returning from studying abroad. Moreover, it was very sudden and the two of them did not interact much previously. While Mu Chenyan was pondering, Yuan Zhe continued to shout until he got exhausted and could not move at all. Mu Chenyan got up from the sofa and walked to Yuan Zhes side. She took out her phone and said with a hint of a smile, Brother Zhe, you want to know what am I going to do with you? You should enjoy your own performance first! The mans howling sound and the womans calm voice could be heard from the phone. * How do you n to deal with me? Hmm? Go and tell the Old Mistress that I came to rape you? Or wait for Yuan Xuan to return to tell him that I came over and took off your clothes? I kissed you? Or... ... Go ahead and call for someone. I want to see if anyone in the Yuan Family would help you other than Yuan Xuan! ! Yes, I want to sleep with you, so what? You should be honored that I want to do so! Many women are waiting for me to sleep with them! ... Youre the woman that most of the men in Luo Hai would like to sleep with! If Yuan Xuan wasnt protecting you, do you think you have any other options with your familys current situation? You will soon be a ything for the men in the upper-ss society! I might as well sleep with you first... ... * The audio recording ended and Yuan Zhes face turned gray! Mu Chenyanughed lightly and the almond-shaped eyes on her extremely beautiful little face were slightly squinted. She said calmly, Ill keep this interesting moment as a memory. After all, Brother Zhe was so passionate! If Brother Zhe does not offend me again, no one will see this! But, if Brother Zhe does not behave yourself, my hands might slip and send this tape to the news reporters and the disciplinemissioners. By that time... Both Yuan Zhe and Yuan Tangzhong were involved in politics. Both of them held important, political roles. If such a family scandal were to be exposed to the public, it will destroy their reputationpletely! This period of time was especially a critical moment for Yuan Tangzhongs career. The Capital City was meaning to train him further... Chapter 130 - She Was Too Innocent Previously, But It Did Not Mean That She Was Stupid

Chapter 130: She Was Too Innocent Previously, But It Did Not Mean That She Was Stupid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhe was about to crush his teeth. He did not think that Mu Chenyan recorded the whole scene just now! This woman seemed cold and harmless, but she nned all these tricks discreetly. It seemed like he had really underestimated her! But when he thought about it, Yuan Xuans woman should never be too simple-minded. Mu Chenyan was just too innocent previously, but it did not mean that she was stupid. Otherwise, she would not be known as the number one socialite! At this point, Yuan Zhe was starting to regret his overly reckless actions. If she were to really expose tonights scandal, not only his reputation would be ruined, his father would probably also be incriminated. Most importantly, Yuan Xuan was a troublesome person. He will not let anyone off the hook and his approaches to revenge were very harsh. If he chose to not acknowledge his rtions, even the Old Mistress might not be able to control him... Yuan Zhe could feel fear in his heart thinking about Yuan Xuan. What do you want? Yuan Zhes tone was no longer as strong as it used to be. He was even a little afraid that Mu Chenyan might other hidden tricks in her sleeve. At this moment, he was the one at a disadvantage! His hands were tied and he could not open his eyes. Moreover, he was in Yuan Xuans bedroom and he cannot say that Mu Chenyan kidnapped him here. Mu Chenyan even had a weapon in her hand. It was very clear who was the one at an advantage and who was the one at a disadvantage! In a split second, Yuan Zhes attitude turned from an abuser to a victim! Chenyan, since were a family... Who is family with you? You will go back to your Peace Mansion and well both keep a secret about tonights incident! Mu Chenyan calmly ordered. She did not want to listen to Yuan Zhes nonsense anymore as she was very exhausted tonight. Yuan Zhe was dumbfounded as he did not understand Mu Chenyans thoughts, You wont tell Yuan Xuan? Humph! Tell him? And disgust him with your actions? A disdainful look shed through Mu Chenyans eyes. Stand up and get out of my room quickly! * After chasing Yuan Zhe away, Mu Chenyan quickly locked the door at the hall of the Hibiscus Garden. Mu Chenyan felt thoroughly exhausted but she forced herself to walk upstairs. She got in the shower and took a warm bath. Wearing a bathrobe, she walked out of the bathroom. Mu Chenyan looked at her phone and there was not even a phone call or a text message. She felt as though her heart was being emptied. Yuan Xuan had left for two days already and he easily just cut off all connections with her. Thetest message was from Yuan Tian, informing that they had arrived at Liu Li Vi and Zhao Ruoxin had pestered Yuan Xuan to visit the Wintry Lake with her. Dont worry, Ill help you keep an eye on that vixen! She would not dare to make a reckless move! Yuan Tianforted Mu Chenyan at the end. Clearly, she paid more attention to Zhao Ruoxin than Mu Chenyan herself! With Yuan Tian there, Zhao Ruoxin might not behave inappropriately. Moreover, Yuan Xuan was not the type of man that would be easily moved. Even so, he probably did not contact her because he was still mad at her for letting him bring another woman to Liu Li Vi. As smart as Mu Chenyan was, she was very clear about it and she wanted to take this opportunity to do something more important. Thus, she could not go to Liu Li Vi. Nevertheless, even if she did not go, it did not mean that she would not miss Yuan Xuan... After being bullied by Yuan Zhe and now that she sat down quietly, she could not help but felt loss and grieve from her heart... ... The bright moonlight seeped in through the window seam, and the little garden on the third floor seemed deserted. The night was dark and Mu Chenyan sat on the wooden long bench with a soft wool nket around her. The crystal wine ss was ced on top of the coffee table and the half bottle of Petrus that Yuan Zhe opened up just now was ced right next to it. Mu Chenyan never liked to drink alcohol, but now she realized that alcohol was truly something special. It was no wonder that people liked to use it to drown their sorrows... She recalled thest time she drank wine was when Yuan Xuan forcefully fed it to her. After that, the two of them were caught in a stormy passion... Chapter 131 - She Hated Him

Chapter 131: She Hated Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Mu Chenyan recalled that scene, she could not help but mock bitterly at herself in her heart. No matter how much she resented him, the moment their bodies merged perfectly, she would not be able to control herself to pardon him infinitely, and her body would freely ept him... Thinking of those past images and reflecting on her current sorry state, Mu Chenyan felt heart-wrenching. She and Yuan Xuan, was it only the warmth on the bed that was left of between them? She had drifted about in the first half of her life. The numerous pursuit of romance when she was young then, were all initiated by her. To her, Yuan Xuan seemed to be far off, as though he was right before her eyes, yet he was actually beyond reach. ... She drank until she was half-drunk, and her body felt light and tipsy. Watching the night sky with ssy eyes, her heart felt empty, only then did she had the courage to pick up the phone. She dialed that all-too-familiar number. Hello? Little Chenyan... Yuan Xuans voice came through the speaker, and it felt as if it was from a lifetime ago! Mu Chenyan was quiet. ... All the grievances that had surged deep down in her instantly turned into tears... The fatigue from her body and the double psychological pain caused her to only cry and not be able to do anything else. Just like that, Mu Chenyan did not utter a single word but only covered her mouth and sobbed quietly. Even she herself did not know why she was crying so sorrowfully. Tears trickled down her fingers, fleeing in all directions... The guttural sound deep in her throat was expressing her suppression and dissatisfaction. She hated him! She hated him for traveling away and had not even contacted her for two days! She hated him for trapping her in this Yuan Family cage, and she was almost degraded by that beast tonight! She hated that he was not by her side when she was wronged! She hated him for picking up the phone on its first ring and called her Little Chenyan... with that damn maic voice of his. Whats wrong? Yuan Xuan observed that she was not saying anything but kept crying all along and he could not hold it in any longer, My wife, what happened? Are you missing me? Mu Chenyan felt that he did that on purpose. He had deliberately caused her to be in an even more sorry state, hence he had used such a gentle tone with a trace of attachment in it to trigger her! It was as if among the two who were arguing with each other, whoever who lowered ones head first would be the one to admit defeat. It so happened that she was the one who had given in easily and was the first one to make the call. However, apart from crying, there was nothing else that she could express... Should she tell him that she was nearly vited? Should she tell him that she really missed him? Should she tell him that regarding him bringing Zhao Ruoxin to Liu Li Vi, she actually took the matter to heart but had to pretend that it did not matter? Should she tell him that what Yuan Zhe mentioned of him exterminating the Mu Family in the near future frightened her? She could say nothing! There were not many people she could love and trust in this world. Yuan Xuan used to be her God, the bearer of all her thoughts! Even then, it so happened that the person she did not dare to love and trust was also him... Holding the phone, the suppressive crysted for as long as ten minutes. Yuan Xuan quietly waited for her to finish crying, and then his low voiceforted, Im sorry. Its my fault. Its all my fault. Yuan Xuan kept apologizing. He seemed to have read her thoughts. Mu Chenyan sobbed and sniffled. She could not tell how it was his fault, but after having vent the grievances in her heart and followed by his apology, she gradually became presumptuous. She could not control her emotions, and with a slightly nasal and sullen voice, she remarked in a reprimanding and coquettish manner, Its not your fault... Its me who shouldnt have made this call and harass your pleasant dream... I shouldnt have disturbed your happy holiday with Miss Zhao... Sour, sour, sour... As she finished, she hung up and switched her phone off... Chapter 132 - Whenever You Call Me, I’ll Be Available

Chapter 132: Whenever You Call Me, Ill Be Avable

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was jolted awake by Ah Fu. Mistress, how did you fall asleep here? With such cold weather, the dampness in the air is the worst on the third floor! If you catch a cold or is affected by the damp, how am I to exin to Young Master? Amitabha, my grandfathers fine. If anything had happened to you, Id be dead... Ah Fu babbled on and on and began to tug at the wool nket wrapped around Mu Chenyan. My goodness, this is such a thin nket and you managed to sleep with it. How cold would that have been! Mu Chenyan popped her head out from underneath the wool nket, her vivid ck eyes fixated on Ah Fu. Listening to her fussing about continuously, her heart was wondering, Didnt I lock the door in the hall? How did Ah Fue in? When Ah Fu saw her blur face and her eyes that were swollen like rotten peaches, she was rmed, and she mumbled with quivering lips, Mistress, what... happened... happened to you? Mu Chenyan realized that she might appear disheveled, and she began to say, Nothing much. I came here to watch the moon yesterday night, but I didnt expect to fall asleep. It wasnt cold at all. Her voice was extremely hoarse, and it still had the nasal and depressed tone after one had cried. Ah Fu was not dumb, hence she immediately understood the situation. She helped Mu Chenyan up from the wide wooden deck chair and said nothing more,prehending the reason Young Master had called her in the middle of the night. Mu Chenyans legs were a little numb, but with the help of Ah Fu, she managed to get to the first floor, and then she was stupefied! The door of the hall was pried open from the outside, and a few workers were working hard installing it back... Mu Chenyan looked at Ah Fu with her eyes full of questions. I called for you for more than half an hour from the outside, but you didnt answer the door. I thought that youre using the electric equipment to keep warm and an ident... has urred... so... Ah Fus volume decreased more and more, feeling embarrassed for her own stupidity. Hence, she summoned a few workers over and simply took the door apart? Nheless, this warmed Mu Chenyans heart. This girl was probably worried about her and had left her grandfather toe back as soon as possible. In the end, Mu Chenyan fell asleep lying in the little garden on the third floor, hence she did not hear the sound of knocking. Ah Fu scratched her head and spoke in a low voice, Midnight yesterday, Young Master had called me to inquire of your situation, so I was worried then. If it wasnt for Grandfather stopping me, I wouldvee back in the middle of the night... Mu Chenyan understood then that it must have been because she had hung up Yuan Xuans call and that his call could not get through, hence he thought of asking Ah Fu. Hehe. Ive got an extremely fortunate and blessed life. Im not going to die that easily. See how youve frightened yourself! Mu Chenyan smiled faintly, and Ah Fu was relieved. After the matter had passed, Mu Chenyan was not that upset anymore. Instead, she was regretful of her arbitrariness. Yuan Xuan was outstation, and he would be worried if she had a fit. When they were together, arguing did not matter much. Now, they were hundreds of kilometers apart, no wonder Ah Fu was urged toe back quickly. She instructed Ah Fu, Go and prepare some breakfast. Im a little hungry. After eating, Im going out to settle some things. Ah Fu could not grasp Mistress emotions. She only felt that such a beauty who was mncholy was quite pitiful. After she had followed Grandfather to bring back Mistress, she had rarely seen her smiled from her heart, except when she was with Fifth Miss... If Mistress did not like Young Master, then that would really be a loss! Young Master had truly ced her upon his heart. In the call yesterday night, Young Masters anxious tone was something she had nevere across. ... Mu Chenyan looked through her phone and found Wu Zes number. Big Brother Wu, are you free today? Mu Chenyan felt slightly unsettled in her heart. Forwyers who were the likes of Wu Ze, every day, their time would be calcted by seconds. Little Chenyan! Even with a heavy nasal tone, Wu Ze instantly recognized her voice, and he could not suppress his excitement. Mu Chenyan had sought him for personal matters, and he was the only one who could help her. Although Wu Ze had stated that he could help her anytime, would this be too sudden? Little did she expect Wu Ze tofort her uneasiness with his crisp and gorgeous tone. Whenever you call me, Ill always be avable! I thought Yuan Xuan that petty guy wouldve thrown my business card into the fire to be extinguished! Mu Chenyan chuckled lightly. She recalled thest time when she had used her beauty to trick Yuan Xuan into returning Wu Zes business card to her, and she felt ridiculous... So, in the afternoon, well meet and talk, is that alright... Mu Chenyans low voice was like a breeze across Wu Zes tender heart. Chapter 133 - She Could Only Look Up to Wu Ze

Chapter 133: She Could Only Look Up to Wu Ze

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It had been a long time since hest heard Mu Chenyans voice. With her being the one to call first, Wu Ze was trying very hard to suppress the throbbing of his heart! Even though he knew that this kind of rtionship was dangerous, he could not resist the temptation to see her. A smile emerged in the corner of Wu Zes mouth, and he replied softly, Sure. Ill book a nice ce and let you knowter. Yin Shan, the secretary who had just entered the room to send in some documents, was stunned for a moment. She rubbed her eyes hard to confirm that she had not seen wrongly. Wu Ze was smiling tenderly? Exposing his clean and white teeth, the well-dressed man was leaning back into his chair in an elegant manner. His eyes were full of blissfulness! Hanging up the call, Wu Ze turned his head around and signed the documents with a serious face. His handwriting was firm and bold, and it was the Yan-letter font that Yin Shan liked... After Wu Ze finished signing and as Yin Shan picked up the documents and was about to leave, Wu Ze called her and stopped her in her tracks, Secretary Yin, please help me to book a table in a French restaurant. Im inviting someone to lunch this afternoon. Seeing that her boss was full of smiles when he said he was treating someone to lunch, Yin Shan figured that the other party must be someone very important to him, and it was possibly a very important woman... Wu Ze lowered his head and continued to edit the document on hisputer. The lightly rolled up cuffs of his white shirt revealed his pretty wrists with their distinct muscle shape... Yin Shan was dazed by them, and she replied in a soft voice, Alright, Attorney Wu... Yin Shan had been working for Wu Ze for almost four years. From the age of 24 to 28, she had witnessed this mans return from the overseas as an unknown figure to his rise in the legal world to bing the well-known topwyer! Due to all the hours of spending together, her heart had been fully poured out onto this man, who was her boss and her ideal man... As for all these thoughts of Yin Shans, how would they be known by Wu Ze? Wu Ze and her social status, family background, and education qualification were not merely worlds apart. She knew that the Wu Family had a powerful historical background in Luo Hai. It was just that Wu Ze did not want to inherit his ancestral property but had chosen his favorite field ofw. The Wu Familys might was like a great gulf, separating Yin Shan on this side of the chasm. She could only look up to Wu Ze... Her family was poor. After graduating, she was able to practice in a smallwyer firm through pulling some strings. She did not expect that boss to be a lecher, who upon seeing that Yin Shan was pretty and poor, he had improper thoughts and had coerced and enticed her numerous times, trying to recruit her into his harem. Since this job was acquired through her distant uncle, Yin Shan was afraid and disgusted. After enduring day after day of dodging and suppression for three months, she finally knocked out that beastly boss of hers who had intended to vite her in the toilet when working overtime one day... The boss conduct was terrible, but he had a robustwork. Yin Shan was caught, and from being a case of sexual harassment, it had turned into an intentional assault. Nowyer was willing to stand up for her. After all, everyone was in the same line, and Yin Shan was just a trainee who had just graduated from university. Running out of options, Mother Yin had gone seeking for legal aid. Wu Ze, who was volunteering as legal aid back then, had solved this case in a weeks time. The Wu Ze at that time was as if he had descended from heaven, tearing open a rift at Yin Shans gloomy heart in a powerful manner, and the man that had a glowing aura on him had walked into her heart just like that... Wu Ze not only rescued her but also gave her a steady job, working as his personal secretary. Yin Shan was extremely ecstatic. She could watch this mature and reliable, handsome man with his outstanding features, seated in his office chair examining files every day. She could also be perfectly justifiably following his back and watched his resolute course of action in court as he built his legendary career. When those abstruse articles ofw were stated with his gorgeous voice, they sounded extremely sweet! Wu Ze did not have any bad habits apart from loving to smoke a few cigarettes and drink red wine once in a while. There were many girls around him, and arge number of them would even throw themselves on him. However, his upbringing had been exceptionally well. Steady and reserved, he was courteous to the outsiders yet having a sense of invible alienation... He was very handsome, and such a gentleman he was. This had simply caused Yin Shan to be besotted! Yin Shan had watched him rejected one peach blossom after another, and her heart ached and rejoiced at the same time. It ached because there were so many brilliant girls who were a perfect match, yet he did not view any of them as good enough for him. She herself was merely an ugly duckling before him, and he probably would not choose her in his lifetime... Fortunately, so long as he did not have an object of affection, maybe she would still stand a chance... Chapter 134 - The Language of Flowers for Daisies: Unrequited Love

Chapter 134: The Language of Flowers for Daisies: Unrequited Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The time together with Wu Ze was a pain and bliss to Yin Shan. In this kind of entangled bitter crush, it even crossed her mind that if he was willing to have a secret affair with her and even if no status was given to her, she would still be willing! However, Wu Ze was a veritable true gentleman. Not only did he not cross the line, but he also treated her as his very own younger sister. He raised her pay, helped her single parent-family to ovee hardship, aided her mother to seek a job, and paid for her younger brothers school fees... Wu Zes meticulous care did not have any trace of private desires mixed in it! It was because of that that Yin Shan dared not let Wu Ze know of her crush for him. She felt that if she had revealed it, that would be tarnishing his intentions for her. Nheless, she could not control herself to love... This kind of sinful pain was like a poisonous insect, tormenting her and causing her to be unable to stop. The one thing that had caused her to feel at ease was at least Wu Ze had not had a woman of interest yet, hence she still stood a chance! It was until today, when Yin Shan saw Wu Ze picked up that womans call and revealed an excited smile in which she had never observed before, only then did Yin Shan realize it was not that Wu Zes heart could not be moved, but it was because he had not met the one for him! Attorney Wu, the person whom you are treating to a meal, is... is it a woman? Yin Shan asked cautiously. She was praying secretly in her heart in the hope that Wu Zes answer would be negative! Or maybe, it would be nice to lie to her as well... Wu Ze looked up from the files, his distinct facial features were exceedingly good-looking. His voice was pleasant as he nodded and replied, Yes! Its a girl. A girl who speaks fluent French. Hence, please book a French restaurant that serves good food. Then... Do you need me to book a couple seat? Or, buy any flowers? Yin Shan asked in an extremely cautious manner, afraid that Wu Ze would notice that she was prying into his personal affairs. Wu Ze sat upright and held his chin as he pondered for a while. His face was dangerously charming! Yin Shan held her breath and heard him said inly, You do as you see fit about the seats. Regarding the flower, help me ce an order for a stalk of champagne rose flower paired with a bouquet of daisies. Yin Shan quivered as she exited the office and proceeded to hide in the pantry, covering her mouth and crying quietly. Thenguage of flowers for daisies: unrequited love... ... In the afternoon, Chen Yan put on a simple make-up to cover up her swollen eyes. She changed into a soft ginger-colored sweater, a thick velvet cotton retro skirt, and simply matched them with a pair of small leather shoes. She then put on a beige coat and left the house. The car exited the Yuan Family Mansion and went along the slope all the way to the west. It was not even 12 oclock yet when she arrived at the city center. Mu Chenyan looked at the location that Wu Ze had sent to her phone and figured that it should be a French restaurant. Back in the days, Yan Mei had loved to dine there, hence Mu Chenyan was familiar with the name of the restaurant. Wu Ze sat in the couples seat and seemed to have waited for a long time, but he was not anxious at all as he stirred the cup of coffee with his spoon in a moderate speed. His actions were as elegant as the gentleman of the upper ss in the 19th century in Europe. His other hand was randomly flipping through a book. The indoors was filled with warmth. Mu Chenyan took off her coat and draped it over her arm once she entered through the doors. As she made her way with little steps, she softly called out, Big Brother Wu... Wu Ze looked up, and his phoenix eyes were filled with surprise and amazement. Under the soft indoors lighting, her fair skin seemed to be almost translucent. Her fluffy fine hair was casually set. Matched with the ginger-colored sweater, her full-of-cogen cheeks were pink and tender, and her pair of eyes that were ink ck like a jade was curved like a rainbow. She was a pleasure to the eye. This woman, who had on her a glowing aura, had captured the attention of the entire ce the moment she walked in. Due to the unique air and charm of the oriental woman, a few foreigners did not avert their line of sight from her the moment she had entered. After Mu Chenyan sat down, Wu Ze smiled lightly and said, Father Time really cares for you a lot. Compared to five years ago when I first met you, you still look about the same. Five years ago? That should be the time when she was still studying in Ennd! Back then, she was young and tender. Mu Chenyan did not have any contact with Wu Ze in Ennd. She did not know when had Wu Ze seen her.

Chapter 135: Exposing Ones Intention Unwittingly While Trying to Cover It Up

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze exined, Yuan Xuan was back in the country at that time. Upon hearing that youre constantly missing him, hmm, and crying... he asked me to visit you... While Wu Ze was speaking, his eyes were scrutinizing the changes in Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan shuddered slightly, and her face blushed a little. That was after Yuan Xuan had returned to the country, and she had notpleted her studies. For someone who had been ustomed to being by Yuan Xuans side, those days were really hard for her. She keptining through the phone that she was missing him and had, indeed, cried. Hence, though he appeared to be indifferent, yet he had actually sent his own brother over to sneak a peek at her? Did she really matter to him, or was he merely feeling sympathetic for her? Wu Ze noticed that Mu Chenyans attention had drifted off. He smiled and said, Now that the both of you are finally together, it can be said that your wish has been fulfilled, and theres no need for you to cry anymore. Mu Chenyan took in a deep breath. A trace of embarrassment shed through her bright eyes. Wu Ze must have spotted her swollen eyes and was deliberately teasing her! Mu Chenyan replied in a low voice, When I was young, everything I did revolve around him. Now that Im older, those days will cease to exist... Seeing how indifferently shemented on her past infatuation, Wu Ze was taken aback. These two years of suffering had truly hardened such a spirited girl as her beyond recognition! Back then, everyone in Luo Hai knew that Yuan Xuan had a dominant spot in her heart. Apart from him, no one else could enter her heart... Today, hearing her say that she did not care anymore in such a frank manner, even Wu Ze was not used to it! Wu Ze responded in a calm voice, Maybe Yuan Xuan has his predicaments. Both your days of hardship has passed now. I believe that he will treat you well in the future. As a friend, Wu Ze had always upheld his principles of being a gentleman. He wanted to defend Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled, Lets not talk about all these. Its been long since Ist saw Big Brother Wu. Lets not have the topic revolve around Yuan Xuan, shall we? Wu Ze smiled. He moved his hand, picked up the bouquet of flowers on the table side, and presented it to Mu Chenyan. The handsome face was calm andposed as he said softly, This is for you. Mu Chenyan noted that it was still the same kind of rose that he had given to her at thest cocktail party, except that there were many tiny daisiesplementing it. This kind of oddbination caused her to smile. He had exposed his intention unwittingly while trying to cover it up! If it were arge bouquet of fiery red roses, she definitely would not dare to ept it. However, in this way, there was no reason for her to reject! Thanks! Mu Chenyan epted the flowers, sniffed at them lightly, and said smilingly, Its a girl who had helped you to purchase them, right? Wu Ze was stunned for a moment. His ck phoenix eyes stared at Mu Chenyan with questions. Theres still a whiff of the girls DAISY perfume left on the flowers. Its a soft floral fragrant. The top notes are wild strawberry, violet leaf, and pink grapefruit; the heart notes are gardenia, violet, and jasmine; the base notes are musk and vani. Shes a really cute girl... Wu Ze was amused. You women are really attentive to details. Such stuff is so difficult to be memorized, yet you actually remembered them so well! He did not understand women, more so about perfumes, but as he listened to Mu Chenyan mentioning the smell of the perfume like how he memorized those articles ofw in such a pleasant manner, he was mind-blown! The tip of Mu Chenyans fingers was slightly cold, her pretty big eyes twinkling a faint glow. She said quietly, Actually, I dont use any perfume. Its just that my mother used to like these. Unfortunately, she wont be able to use them now. Although Yan Meis situation had improved, she was not sure whether her mother would remain in a vegetative state forever. Imagining her using perfume was truly a wild wish! Wu Ze did not manage to speak some consoling words as the waiter hade over to take their order, interrupting their conversation. Beautifuldy, the foie gras here is extremely delicious. While Wu Ze was passing the menu to Mu Chenyan, the tall, blond-haired, and blue-eyed waiter hurriedly rmended their signature dish using inarticte Mandarin. Chapter 136 - French Men Are Really Overconfident and Over-Passionate

Chapter 136: French Men Are Really Overconfident and Over-Passionate

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The blond handsome mans gaze was filled with amazement, but he did not look at Mu Chenyan pervertedly. He had chosen to use Mandarin after some hesitation. Usually, he would use English to serve the customers, but when he saw Mu Chenyan, he thought that this beautiful woman was too young. Hence, he used Mandarin, which to him, was very difficult to enunciate. Mu Chenyan read the menu, looked up and replied lightly with fluent French, The process of making foie gras is too cruel. Ivee here twice, and my mother had suggested to not order that dish. When the waiter saw that she was this pretty and knew how to speak perfect French, he was clearly astounded. He too switched to French and smilingly replied, Its not a big deal actually. Human beings are the masters of life and the other kinds of meat that we eat also required the animals to be killed. However, theres a difference between murder and torturing to death. Murder is also to satisfy the humans desire, hence we have to keep a reverence of heart for the dead creatures. However, torturing to death meant that one would have to be condemned by ones soul. As Mu Chenyan replied, she smiled and blinked her eyes at the tall, handsome man. The waiter politely nodded at Mu Chenyan. Miss, we also agree very much with your point of view. Distinguisheddy, if thats the case, we hope that youll enjoy our other dishes then. The waiter felt great respect for this beautiful woman who also knew how to speak fluent French. He had worked in this high-ss restaurant for a few years in Country Z and had seen no less of powerful aristocratic families. From his understanding of the people of this country, the dishes ordered had to be sumptuous to reflect ones status. The likes of this youngdy, who was such low-key and sophisticated, was really rare. Moreover, this was the first time he had met such a girl who had both beauty and wisdom and could still maintain such a clean soul. The blond handsome man instantly felt that he should serve her more diligently. Mu Chenyan ced her order and then, helped Wu Ze ordered his. The striking man leaned back in his seat and watched Mu Chenyan used the formal expression in French to softly and courteously inform the waiter what to take note of. He could not help but smile from the depth of his heart. This woman was morous, yet she had deliberately concealed her edge. Such manner of hers would really stir up the curiosity in men very easily. Indeed, when the waiter was leaving, he openly stuffed a business card to Mu Chenyan, and with a smile in his charming golden eyes, he said n a low voice, It is an honor to serve Young Lady today. Mu Chenyan politely nodded and smiled as she epted the business card. With such a beauty, even if she was out dining with such a fine man as Wu Ze, that still could not stop a handsome French man from having his heart moved. Hmph! French men are really overconfident and over-passionate! Wu Ze thought in his heart silently. ... The food was quickly served, and the few dishes that Mu Chenyan had eaten here with her mother, Yan Mei, were ssics. The dishes she had ordered were in and simple, but its taste was first-ss. Even Wu Ze was not aware that this restaurant had such non-mainstream dishes that were equally scrumptious. French cuisine was extremely particr about red wine. There was an art to whichever side dish or wine that was to be paired. Mu Chenyan did not drink much wine, so she knew nothing of that, and she ordered a Chateau Rayas for Wu Ze. Mu Chenyan recalled that Yuan Xuan was a man who loved to collect red wine. In the wine cer in Hibiscus Garden, there were countless wine collections that she could not tell of their names and year. The look of that man, while he was drinking red wine, was elegant, noble, and graceful. Even thinking about it now could still fascinate one! Wu Ze watched the corner of Mu Chenyans lips curved slightly upward, her ck hair on her forehead brushed across her eyes, and his thoughts drifted away. The first time when one met with another person in life, even with just a look, one would know whether the other party was the person that one desired! Five years ago, he was asked by Yuan Xuan to go see her at school. He had only watched from afar and dared not approach her. At that time, she was so dazzling that he could not avert his line of sight. He himself was not aware that from the moment heid his eyes on the woman, she had secretly prated his heart... Later on, when they met again, she had be a prisoner. He used Yuan Xuan to numb himself, not admitting his feelings to her and kept doing his job. However, after numerous contact, his motive was no longer pure. Those emotions that were suppressed rushed out like a flood, and it was unstoppable... Chapter 137 - Wu Ze Regretted It

Chapter 137: Wu Ze Regretted It

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze regretted it! He regretted that as he withdrew each step, she was bing Mrs Yuan by every step! If five years ago, during their first meeting in Ennd, he had known that he had feelings for her, he would have had the courage to approach her! Perhaps even two years back, while she was going through lifes rock bottom in prison, he could have been more assertive to protect her. Then right now, would not he have been able to present roses instead of daisies rightfully? Time could not be rewind, and everything could not be restarted. After pursuing Yuan Xuan for more than ten years, she had finally be Mrs Yuan, yet she did not obtain the expected happiness. Wu Zes heart ached for her, but he could not find reasons to persuade himself to snatch her away... Wu Zes thoughts were raging, his fingertips were somewhat cold, and his gaze had almost never averted from the woman in front of him. Mu Chenyan, of course, was not aware of the intense internal conflict Wu Ze was having at the moment. She was about to finish her food when she noticed that Wu Ze had not really started. She then smiled and asked, Why arent you eating? Did what I order not suit your taste? Wu Ze gently put down the knife and fork. He took a paper towel to wipe the corner of his mouth, his phoenix eyes full of smiles. Nah. Its appetizing, butpared to eating these, watching you eat opens up my appetite even more... Mu Chenyans response was ... This was the first time Wu Ze was having a meal with Mu Chenyan, and he was quite fascinated by this woman, feeling contented just by watching her eat. Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and smiled. A tiny caviar at the corner of her mouth attracted his attention. He pulled out a paper towel and reached out to help wiped her mouth... This ambiguous action made Mu Chenyan froze. She blushed slightly and dodged to a side. Smiling, she said, Ill do it myself... As she spoke, she took that paper towel, and when her fingertips identally brushed past his palm, the chill sensation stunned her. The atmosphere instantly froze in awkwardness. Wu Ze straightened up, and his eyes looked away from her blushing face. To prevent further awkwardness, he started a topic and asked inly, Chenyan, Im sure you called me for a reason. Just let me know how I can help you. Wu Zes tone was full of sincerity. Though he did not want to take advantage of anothers perilous state, that did not mean that he could not be a good guardian of hers. Not being able to hold her hands did not mean that he could not secretly safeguard her like a friend! Mu Chenyan paused for a while. She did have a favor to ask of him, but Wu Zes state at this moment was causing her to be at a loss. Mu Chenyan was no fool, simply behaving ambiguously with another man and pretending to be dumb and sweet! Wu Ze was a meticulous and extremely self-disciplined man. If it was not because he had some thoughts for her, he would not have assured her that he would respond to whatever her request was. Seeing Mu Chenyan hesitated, Wu Ze continued to say, Dont worry. I know my ce. Im treating your request in ordance with the level of a friend. If I can do it, Ill do my best; if I cant, I wont force it too. I wont ask for any repayment because youre Mrs Yuan. This, Im well aware of. When Mu Chenyan heard that, she heaved a long sigh of relief. She knew that Wu Ze was indeed a gentleman, and the reason he said that was to put her heart at ease. Mu Chenyan lifted the cup and drank two sips before saying softly, Wu Huai is your elder cousin brother, right? Wu Ze did not know why Mu Chenyan was asking about Wu Huai. He nodded lightly, Hes with the police force in Major Crimes, and hes the captain. Ive heard. Both of you are legendary figures in Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan said casually. Wu Ze chuckled all of a sudden. Hehe, how embarrassing. Us brothers have liked to y fighting games since young. It was as if we have a dream of bing the savior of the world. He didnt want to inherit our ancestral enterprise and had decided to be a cop, whereas I chose to be awyer. Our younger brother and sister are learning to manage our family-ownedpany at the moment. The outside world did not understand these two cousin brothers. They could notprehend why they did not want to manage such a well off bigpany but had chosen to be a police,wyer, and whatnot,ing into contact with vicious people every day, and the wages earned were not even a fragment of the Wu ns ie... I feel that its rather good to have a dream. I really admire you and Brother Wu Huai. Chapter 138 - News Inspectorate

Chapter 138: News Inspectorate

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan stated with deep sincerity. It was no easy task for those who could persist in their dreams! One of you is in the military while the other is in the civil field, are using your own methods to preserve peace and justice. This is something extremely meaningful. What Wu Ze was hearing from her was exactly what he himself was thinking. Even a restrained man like Wu Ze could not help but feel warmth in his heart to be able to have the woman whom he liked understand him. Why did you bring up Wu Huai? Do you need him to help you with something? Wu Ze questioned closely. Mu Chenyan exined, The favor Im asking from you this time is rted to Wu Huai. In order to highlight the fairness and justice of thew alongside its regtions, and to promote the efficiency of the forensics system, the central government has nned to conduct a pilot project in Luohaist year to set up a news inspectorate to track and report the process of solving criminal cases. Were you aware of this? Mu Chenyan had gathered lots of information from the Inte and from her old ssmates and friends, hence she hade prepared. Wu Ze, of course, was aware of this matter. This was the first official coboration between the judiciary and the press, but things did not go as nned. Yes, but the decision on this news inspectorate has not yet been finalized yet. The main reason was that the police was not very cooperative, and they were unwilling to let external parties enter their backroom to keep track of them and report their progress. Hence, the project came to a standstill. Wu Ze replied. Mu Chenyan nodded and smiled faintly. Actually, the main issue was that Brother Wu Huai thwarted their progress greatly... Hearing this, a smile emerged at the corners of Wu Zes lips, and he nodded in agreement. Indeed. His temper is really bad, and hes extremely stubborn. When ites to his image, its very difficult to have him cooperate, hence the project was unable to proceed. Mu Chenyan immediately knew that she had found the right person. This time, Im asking you to help me. Id like to be an intern reporter in the inspectorate. You know that I studied journalism and that Ive also interned in the BBC when I was in Ennd... Mu Chenyan became excited as she spoke, her bright eyes full of anticipation! Wu Ze looked at Mu Chenyan. He could notprehend why she would think of working all of a sudden. After all, being a reporter was a tough gig. What are you nning to want to work in that investigative journalism unit? Wu Ze asked. That department is currently recruiting volunteer journalists. Since its a pilot project, the wages are not high, and there are not many peoplepeting for a spot. More importantly, Ive got to pass the checkpoint that is Brother Wu Huai. If he doesnt agree, this wont work... Brother Wu Huais an upright person. His unwillingness to ept this department intrusion is unreasonable as well. After all, the people also want to learn of the progress and investigation of major cases. Mu Chenyan was being very cautious as she said this. She was afraid of saying the wrong thing, like painting Wu Huai as a bad guy who was beyond redemption... Finally, Wu Ze understood Mu Chenyan. She wanted to work there, and clearly knew that if Wu Huai obstructed her ns, the whole department would quickly reach a standstill, and her ns would fail. Hence, she needed to talk to Wu Huai in advance! Chenyan, howe you suddenly thought of working, particrly in this department? Wu Ze felt that things might not be as simple as hed like to have imagined. If she merely wanted to get a job, it would be a breeze to help her with Yuan Xuans connections. Mu Chenyan was clearly hesitant. Her in face was overly indifferent, and there were even traces of exhaustion in her eyes. After a while, Mu Chenyan slowly said, Id like toe into contact with society through this channel. I cant be stuck doing nothing my whole life and simply rot away in the Yuan Family Mansion... She was downcast as she spoke. Without the support of the Mu Family, its not easy to be independent in society. I can only utilize what Ive learned to gain a foothold for now. What more, this job will enable me to make connections with the police. If possible, Id like to use them to eventually find my brother, Mu Chenwu, as well. Chapter 139 - To Her, Yuan Xuan Was Like a Poisonous Drink That Quenched Her Thirst

Chapter 139: To Her, Yuan Xuan Was Like a Poisonous Drink That Quenched Her Thirst

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It dawned on Wu Ze that Mu Chenyan wanted to break free from Yuan Xuans control. If she found Mu Chenwu, she would at least still have someone from the Mu Family to rely on! However, Mu Chenwu had gone missing for quite a long time, and the authorities had no news or trace of him at all. Mu Chenyan might not know that the Yuan Family was also looking for Mu Chenwu. What had gone on between the Yuan Family and the Mu Family was probably hard for outsiders to grasp. Yuan Xuans thoughts were like an endless abyss, if he did not disclose them, no one would be able to read him. I suppose finding Mu Chenwu is just one of the reasons? Wu Ze watched Mu Chenyan and asked inly. Yes. It seems like I cant hide anything from Brother. Mu Chenyan replied while smiling. Back then, Shu Qingers case was left unresolved, and there were many suspicious circumstances surrounding the case. I want to get in touch with the police, and if possible, Id also like to slowly look into the case in secret... Mu Chenyan paused for a moment. Her eyes, which were as dark as a pair of onyxes, were looking out into the distance through the window. Im a victim in this case too. Dont I have the right to vindicate myself? And the best way to vindicate yourself is none other than by finding the real murderer... Wu Ze was stunned as he observed Mu Chenyans dim and indifferent expression. The longsting pain had caused this womans face, which was naturally pretty, to have a faint sorrow about it. Her flickering eyes no longer carried the animated aura it did when she was young... He thought about it and understood why she was now for his help instead of Yuan Xuan. It was not just due to the fact that Wu Huai was his elder cousin brother, but rather, it was because Yuan Xuan did not give Mu Chenyan a sense of security, such that she could not recklessly trust him! All these years, Yuan Xuan had never told anyone anything about his ns. Even Wu Ze and Shao Yibai might not fullyprehend what he was formting. What more Mu Chenyan? Without a sense of security, even though the two shared the same bed and had zero distance between them, she would still not dare go to Yuan Xuan. Not to mention, he had hurt her before... Wu Ze suddenly felt sorry for this woman. To her, Yuan Xuan was like a poisonous drink that quenched her thirst and was the antidote to her Gu poison! (TN: a venomous poison obtained from thest insect standing among many that were sealed together in a container; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gu_(poison)) She had loved him for so many years and pursued him for a long time, even obtaining her wish of marrying him in the end. However, her heart was moving further and further away from him... Chenyan, dont worry. Ill be sure to help you settle this matter. However, Id like to remind you that although Wu Huai is a decent guy, his temper is very bad. If youre to work with him in the future, you might have to endure this side of him. As Wu Zemented on his elder cousin brother, a faint smile appeared on his face. He was clearly aware that helping her might not please Yuan Xuan, but he still wanted to help her. Im not scared. As long as he agrees, I believe Ill be able to do well! Mu Chenyan let out a long sigh of relief. The oue was better than what she had expected. With Wu Ze willing to help her, she was feeling very happy. Chenyan, Ive got a question, and Im wondering if you can give me a truthful answer. Mu Chenyan had never seen Wu Ze speak so cautiously. The eloquence of this well-known fork-tonguedwyer was well-known throughout the country! Big Brother Wu, just say whatever thats on your mind... If you seed in finding Mu Chenwu, what do you n to do after that? Do you... Do you n to leave the Yuan Family? Wu Ze held his breath as he spoke. He hoped that she would reply in the negative and that he would not be wronging his friend. However, he was also vaguely hoping that she would say yes... Mu Chenyan had a family feud with Yuan Xuan. Even if no one talked about it, it did not mean that this toxic nuance did not exist! Chapter 140 - Yan Jun Realized the Gravity of the Situation

Chapter 140: Yan Jun Realized the Gravity of the Situation

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan went nk, and her dreamy eyes seemed to ze over. What Wu Ze had brought up was the untouchable, forbidden topic in her heart. Her lips quivered a little, and the bangs that hung over her forehead shifted over her fair face. Wu Ze could not see her expression, but he was well aware that she was subconsciously avoiding this question... * The north wind was blowing even stronger when they came out if the restaurant. Mu Chenyans body shrunk back into her coat as her little face retreated into the red scarf. Wu Ze saw this and reached out to help rewrap the scarf around her neck. If theres any news, Ill call you. However, are you going to personally tell Yuan Xuan about this, or do I tell him? Mu Chenyan shook her head and panicked a little. Ill tell him myself. If you tell him, hell be... She was embarrassed to utter the word jealous. There were certain things that everyone would prefer not to be put out into the open. The valet drove the car over and Mu Chenyan got in. As she waved goodbye to Wu Ze from the drivers seat, she kept getting the feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching her from somewhere... * Zhong Heng International. Yuan Xuan sat in therge office chair with a stack of photos scattered across his desk. The mans expression was extremely grim, and his dark and narrow eyes were animalistic and angry. His dark figure was surrounded in a swirl of thin white smoke, as his gloomy expression overshadowed his usual steady demeanor! Yan Jun dared not interrupt Yuan Xuan but he still had to report to him. Young Master, you called for me? His eyes dared not nce around, but Yuan Xuans dark face really concerned Yan Jun. Was something catastrophic about to happen? Go and find out the source of these photos. Furthermore, have someone tail my wife secretly from tomorrow onwards! Yuan Xuans surly tone caused Yan Jun to shudder. Yan Jun sneaked a nce at the pictures on the desk in the warm light-filled restaurant, Young Master Wu was presenting a bouquet of flower to Mistress; Young Master Wu had pulled out a paper towel and was helping Mistress to wipe her mouth; in front of the restaurant, the tall and handsome man was wrapping the scarf around Mistress as if he were protecting his dear kitten... After taking a sharp breath, Yan Jun realized the gravity of the situation. He had stayed by Yuan Xuans side for a few years now. Young Masters germophobic and possessive traits were all well known by Yan Jun. Moreover, this young mistress had always had a precious ce in Young Masters heart. At least, that was what Yan Jun thought. What was going on with Mistress? Was something major about to happen? Ill investigate it. However, Young Master, there could be more to this than meets the eye. You... Yan Jun wanted to vouch for Mu Chenyan, but when he saw Yuan Xuans cold gaze fixed on him, Yan Jun hurriedly shut his mouth. Someone was deliberately trying to sow doubt into Mistress and Young Masters rtionship! This was Yan Juns first impression, but he dared not simply express his thoughts to Yuan Xuan. However, Yan Jun still felt that he could smell a rat involved. Yesterday night, Yuan Xuan did not sleep well after picking up Mistress call, and he had rushed all the way back from Wintry Lake early in the morning. Before he arrived home, a few of the old men from the aristocratic families were making noise at the entrance to thepany, demanding to see Yuan Xuan. They were here about the pawns in theirwork whom Yuan Xuan had previously dealt with. In Luo Hai, the battle between the long-established powers and the new forces that were represented by Yuan Xuan had been going on for some time now. It was just that this time, Yuan Xuans move was overly assertive and he had uprooted some of the aristocratic families underlings a bit too coldly. He had done so in a neat and organized manner without showing any mercy. One small event could have a butterfly effect. Thus, the old men could not hold back. They brought the matter to thepany group, and Kang Yu could not deal with it alone, hence he could only call Yuan Xuan. Although Yuan Xuan had a forceful way of doing things, he was particrly slick when dealing with the older generation. He soon pacified the old men with a few words, then had them wait indefinitely. It was already afternoon by the time he finished dealing with the troublesome people on this end. Yuan Xuan was feeling a little tired, and just as he sat down in his office, his secretary sent in a package that the reception desk had just received. The courier said that there was an important document that he had to personally give to CEO Yuan. The front desk felt that this was bizarre, so they asked the courier to give the stuff to Yan Jun. At the time, Yan Jun dared not open it, but little did he know that it would be filled with pictures... Young Master, Deputy Mayor Chen would like to invite you to dinner at Delight House. Would you like to ept his invitation? Yan Jun asked cautiously while looking at Yuan Xuans expression. Chapter 141 - No Man Could Stay Calm When Turning Green with Envy

Chapter 141: No Man Could Stay Calm When Turning Green with Envy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion No man could stay calm when turning green with envy. Let alone a perpetually arrogant man who had suddenly found himself in this situation. Yan Jun was extremely worried. He felt bad for his CEO, but was also worried for this mans wife who was probably still at home. Yuan Xuan only asionally smoked, and that was when he was in a bad mood. Now, he had just finished his second cigarette in a row. The embers flickered around his fingertips before slowly extinguishing themselves. He got up from his office chair and turned around to take his suit jacket before he quietly said, Postpone all of my events tonight, Im returning to Hibiscus Garden. * When Mu Chenyan left the French restaurant and saw that it was still early, she strolled around the streets for a while and bought some lighter clothes for the new season. If everything went smoothly, she could start work in spring. A normal frontline reporter could not go to work in a Chanel or Dior suit. Thus, Mu Chenyan bought herself some clothes and shoes from average, everyday brands. She also bought numerous sets of youthful and feminine clothes for Ah Fu while she was at it. When she returned to Hibiscus Garden, she saw Yuan Xuans haunting sports car parked in the garage. This was Yuan Xuans favorite car. The silver body of the vehicle was exceptionally eye-catching, and Yuan Xuan would usually drive this car when he went away on long trips. Mu Chenyan was slightly suspicious when she saw that he had already returned. Was he not supposed to be gone for four days? Why was he already back although it was only the third day? Yuan Tian had not informed her in advance either. Mu Chenyan had a terrible feeling... When she saw Mu Chenyan carrying bags of various sizes while entering through the front door, Ah Fu hastily trotted over and took the bundles. Her eyes lingered in the direction of the second floor before she whispered, Young Master has returned but he seems somewhat unhappy... Mu Chenyan nced upstairs while the uneasiness in her heart grew more intense. However, she maintained herposure. She exchanged a few words with Ah Fu before she too went upstairs. When she walked past the study room, Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuan on theputer. His slim figure seemed anxious while his slender fingers tapped away on the keyboard. When his eyes darted upward and saw Mu Chenyan standing stiffly at the doorway, his gaze lingered on her for a brief moment before he hurriedly turned back to his screen... Mu Chenyan faintly smiled. It looked like Young Master did not have a good time during his trip to Liu Li Vi. Since she was quite tired as her entire body had been attacked by the chilly air throughout the day. Thus, Mu Chenyan went to the bathroom to take a bath without stopping by to say hello. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan himself only went downstairs after Ah Fu had loudly called for him twice after she had finished preparing breakfast. He happened to see that Mu Chenyan and Ah Fu, the mistress and her servant, quietly chatting in the hall downstairs. Ah Fu looked extremely excited. Thank you, madam... Ive never bought so many clothes before... Mu Chenyan knew that Ah Fu had been an orphan ever since she was a child. Despite this, Butler Fu had not spent much of the ample sry that he received from the Yuan Family on his granddaughter. Moreover, he did not even allow her toplete her schooling before he made her serve the Yuan Family here alongside him. As she was buying the clothes today, Mu Chenyan remembered that at the end of the day, Ah Fu was still a child. Hence, she bought her some youthful and feminine outfits, because she knew that all the girls her age liked new clothes. Ah Fu jumped for joy and did not notice when Yuan Xuan descended from upstairs. Yuan Xuan leaned against the railing at the foot of the stairs. He had changed into a set of dark gray clothes that he wore at home. His slender thighs were gently crossed while both his hands were stuffed in his pockets, making him appear carefree but distant. His dark gaze was attentively fixed on the womans indifferent face. She cared so deeply about the wellbeing of a mere maid but had no space for him in her heart. The images that he could not erase from his mind put him in a terribly bad mood. The mans face darkened even further as he ignored both the women and walked straight toward the dining room. Ah Fu frantically suppressed her excitement when she saw that the Young Master had alreadye downstairs. Then, she obediently went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes. Mu Chenyan sensed that Yuan Xuan was in a foul mood. Furthermore, he treated her like a stranger when he saw her. She sighed to herself. What is he mad about now? Chapter 142 - Both of Them Ate Their Meals Extremely Quietly

Chapter 142: Both of Them Ate Their Meals Extremely Quietly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan remainedpletely silent after he sat down on his chair. As steam rose from the food that Ah Fu prepared, the mans gloomy expression became less clear through the vapor. Mu Chenyan wisely decided not to provoke the unpredictable man. She chose a seat that was some distance away from him before she quietly sat upright. Her eyes asionally met that mans gaze that constantly swept across her as various doubts stirred in her heart. Both of them ate their meals extremely quietly. Since Mu Chenyan had already bathed, she took a book andzily sat on the sofa after she finished eating. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan went to shower in the bathroom upstairs. Yuan Xuan had not spoken to her since he had returned until now. She carefully pondered this, but concluded that she had not upset him. Could it be that he was uneasy because of some problem in the office? It was already so difficult to figure out someone elses thoughts. However, a proud and aloof person like Yuan Xuan would find it even more difficult to share his problems. Hence, was it wrong for her to assume that he would not share his worries with her? When she thought of these things, Mu Chenyan felt that it was unnecessary for her to keep scratching her head over it. He was free to do as he pleased while she would merely refrain from provoking him. After reading for a while, she felt her eyelids lower slightly. Furthermore, since she had suffered a scarest night and spent most of the night on the rocking chair in the third floor of the house, she had not slept well at all. However, she was inwardly apprehensive about the bed in the master bedroom. If she had to sleep on that bed, she would probably go to the next room instead. Her terribly nervous mind rxed when Yuan Xuan returned. Now that her mind had calmed down, it was natural for her to feel sleepy. Mu Chenyan stood up and stretched, but her body was pulled into the mans strong embrace before she could even gather her thoughts. Stunned, Mu Chenyan said, You... Glimmering water droplets shimmered on Yuan Xuans solid chest while his two distinctly veiny pectoral muscles and his six perfect abdominal muscles openly stered themselves against her soft body... Although they had already made love to each other numerous times, Mu Chenyan would still feel hot and bothered every time their skin touched. A kind of bashfulness would arise throughout every cell in her body while she would be quickly filled with passion as she got heated up... The smell of his body right after his shower was infused with the smell of male hormones. These smells dominated her nostrils and hastened Mu Chenyans breathing. Her heartbeat quickened and her voice trembled as she asked, You ignored me ever since you returned but youre acting like this now... Her gaze fell on the mans seductive Adams apple when she spoke. It bobbed up and down, and Mu Chenyan could not help but gulp as she thought to herself, Was this a feast for the eyes? Yuan Xuans eyes did not lock onto hers when he saw her blushing. Her upright facial features were exquisite and enchanting, especially her little cherry-like mouth. When she opened and closed it, the man could only think of kissing her... However, the beast that he suppressed in his heart began to wantonly snarl when he remembered that someone else might have enjoyed this cherry as well. His gaze turned venomous before he lowered his raspy voice and asked, Where did you go during the two days I was gone? Mu Chenyan had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would still want to check up on her after he returned. His apathetic gaze wandered freely about her face, but she could detect his suspicion. Mu Chenyan felt somewhat helpless but she was still slightly annoyed. He had no right to act so arrogantly. After all, she had tacitly epted the fact that he had openly taken another woman with impure intentions on holiday. He was being a hypocrite by implying that she was the monster. I didnt go anywhere! I merely went to the hospital to visit my mother before I went clothes shopping. You saw everything... Other than that? Yuan Xuans voice was deep and raspy. He gently grasped her slim neck with both hands while waves of darkness surged about his sinister eyes. These words were like a sharp sword that had stabbed him directly in the heart... Chapter 143 - Yuan Xuans Gaze Was Dangerous and Fiery

Chapter 143: Yuan Xuans Gaze Was Dangerous and Fiery

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The distinct hickey on Mu Chenyans neck and the bite marks made the situation crystal clear. Yuan Xuan was certain that he was not the one who had left them there. His gaze lingered there for a moment while an unprecedented sense of humiliation poured out from the bottom of his heart. The slightest bit of irrationality was enough to these sparks of jealousy aze. However, the final barrier in Yuan Xuans heart copsed when he saw that ring mark. He did not believe those photos when he initially saw them. He wanted Yan Jun to trace the source of the photos so he could teach that person a lesson and show them that they could not use such lowly means to destroy the rtionship between Mu Chenyan and himself. Throughout the meal and shower, he was doing his best to calm himself down. He could forgive Mu Chenyan for meeting Wu Ze in his absence and could even pardon them for any dubious feelings that they asionally harbored for each other. However, these thoughts immediately vanished when he saw that distinct bite mark. Is there nothing else aside from that? Yuan Xuans gaze was dangerous and fiery. The stubborn mans eyes repeatedly swept across Mu Chenyan. He was confused as he could not believe that this woman would betray him. Mu Chenyan briefly hesitated when she saw his dark pupils dting. Furthermore, the smell of smoke seemed to permeate from his lean body. Now that things had escted to this point, Mu Chenyan felt that she should not hide it from him anymore. Why would she need to fear the devil if she had not done anything wrong? She quietly said, I went to see Brother Wu Ze in the afternoon and returned after we ate... So, it was Wu Ze after all! The scenes in those pictures once again surfaced in Yuan Xuans mind. His breathing started bing uneven and he faintly smiled before stretching out hisrge warm hands and grasping Mu Chenyans little face. His fingers lingered on the corners of Mu Chenyans red lips before the friction from his rough fingertips made Mu Chenyan lightly tremble. Since she could not read his thoughts, she could only bide her time and wait for him to continue. Did you really just have a meal? Or... Yuan Xuan intentionally paused as he stared into Mu Chenyans eyes. Did you perhaps enjoy a meal while he enjoyed you instead? Hmm? Yuan Xuans tone was gentle but the anger and murderous intent were evident. Huh? Mu Chenyan only understood what he meant after a brief pause. Was he implying that she had been defiled? What nonsense is that? I merely had an innocent meal with him. What else are you imagining? Youve been unpredictable ever since you returned and didnt say a single word to me. However, now youre spouting weird things now that you have something to say! If youre looking for reasons to start a fight, leave me out of it because Im not going to entertain you! Mu Chenyan was slightly annoyed now that she had somewhat figured things out. If this man had sent someone to follow her, did that mean that he would get his revenge when the opportunity arose? Hmph! Why did she have to get his permission to speak to others? It was as if she was his pet. Mu Chenyan pushed his arm away and turned her body before arrogantly walking upstairs. She had initially wanted to sleep in the master bedroom with him to ovee her fears despite the fact that Yuan Zhe had almost raped her on that exact same bedst night. However, she had never expected Yuan Xuan to behave like this upon his return. In any case, it looked like she did not have to inconvenience herself by sleeping in the master bedroom anymore tonight. She would rather let this paranoid man go to hell. Mu Chenyan went to the master bedroom to take her pillow and nkets before carrying them to the next room. She was still furious at his words when she wrapped herself under the covers. Was he insane? She merely had a meal with Wu Ze! Since her heart was still full of resentment, Mu Chenyans exhaustion soon vanished as she tossed and turned on the bed. Rustling noises echoed out from the master bedroom before the terrifying sound of falling items suddenly drifted made her jump. Mu Chenyan was terribly shocked. Nheless, Yuan Xuan had always been somewhat of a loner and had never been someone with a good temper. However, it was extremely rare for him to lose control and go crazy. Moreover, it was even rarer for him to behave in a childish manner by breaking things to vent his anger. What exactly had happened? Chapter 144 - This Rejection Had Aroused the Mans Desire to Subdue

Chapter 144: This Rejection Had Aroused the Mans Desire to Subdue

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The faint uneasiness in her heart became more intense as Yuan Xuans series of abnormalities seemed to indicate something. Mu Chenyan had just thought of crawling up and going over to have a look before the lights in the next room suddenly lit up at this moment and blinded her until she could not open her eyes. Mu Chenyan used her hand to briefly shield her forehead. Before her pupils could even finish contracting, she felt her body briefly lowering. The king-sized bed deeply caved in before the hot-headed man pressed down against her red lips... Mmm... Mu Chenyan was stunned while the sudden attack had greatly soured her mood. Moreover, she did not like kisses like these when his actions were overly rough or violent. You... What are you mad about? The woman barely managed to escape the jaws of death and took the opportunity to question him in a trembling voice while his breathing was still unsteady. What am I mad about? Dont you know? What did you have to do that? Have you fallen for him? Or were you merely doing that to get back at me? Yuan Xuans words puzzled Mu Chenyan. Why did he sound like a drunkard when he was sober? Yuan Xuans bloodshot eyes made him look like a raging lion as he continued to lower his head and taste her crimson lips. Mu Chenyans heart was extremely terrified. She exerted all her strength to push his oppressive chest away while shaking her head from left to right to dodge his kisses. However, she had not expected to drag down the bath towel around his waist while she tore at him... This woman had kicked up a terribly big fuss but this rejection had aroused the mans desire to subdue her. Yuan Xuan absolutely had to conquer her now because of the momentary arousal. He wanted their naked bodies to meet so that it would be fair for both of them. He forcefully ripped off her sleepwear before a fragrance that was unique to women burst forth and faintly seeped into the air from her snowy-white skin. This scent muddled the mans final trace of reason. Yuan Xuan, you... you idiot... The pain immediately forced her to tears as her little hands pounded and scratched in every direction without thinking. Frankly, he was not usually gentle either. For some reason, his consistently forbearing and modest appearance wouldpletely vanish every time he encountered a situation like this. He always resembled an exhausted wild beast on the bed but it was difficult to control him the moment he erupted. Fortunately, at least he was usually deeply attached and full of tenderness towards her. He would take care of her emotions and would not make excessive demands, let alone hurt her without reason. However, he was different today. He carried himself with an abnormal amount of rage and used immeasurable force. The sound of Mu Chenyans sobs irritated him because he could not control his innermost impatience although he did not want to hurt her. How many times did you do it with Wu Ze? Huh? He was simply insane! Yuan Xuan, you... get away from me... Mu Chenyan was so angry that she cursed him and said, Have you gone mad? Do you hear yourself spouting this nonsense? He saw how good she was at iling about. Meanwhile, her rejection made him feel as if his heart was clogged up. It was no wonder that she left him alone and was unconcerned when he went to Liu Li Vi. Was he wrong to assume that she had nned to use this opportunity to take her lover out on a date? The raging jealousy in his heart continued to roar. That distinct love bite became more ring the more he looked at it. Yuan Xuan lowered his head and violently bit those marks several times to use the ones that he created to conceal the previous ones. The pain caused Mu Chenyan to cry uncontrobly. She sobbed as she said, Yuan Xuan... Did you misunderstand... misunderstand me... She was too gentle. He had initially wondered whether he should listen to her exnation. However, he could no longer free himself from her warmth that enveloped him when he entered her. The wild beast that had lost control merely desired to use his actions to express his innermost feelings. How could Mu Chenyans slender and bony little body endure being tossed about like this? A wise man would not fight when the odds were against him. When she could not bear it anymore a short whileter, she tearfully begged, Yuan Xuan... You... Be more gentle... However, Yuan Xuan did not slow down despite her appeals. His lips blocked off her little mouth and prevented her from yelling while he continued ravishing her... The sound of the womans pleading grew softer. She had always been delicate and the two years that she spent in prison had made it worse for her. She was really worried that she would be finished off here. However, she did not want to die because her mother was still in the hospital. Yuan Xuan, am I going to die... Oh, oh... Her uncontroble tears trickled into her hair while her fingernails dug into his muscles. Nheless, the man continued to remain fixated on his task, as if he had could not feel the pain. Does Wu Ze know what you look like when youre underneath me? Id like to let you make aparison between the both of us and see whose stamina and skills are better! Hmm? Yuan Xuans words were like a sharp de that provoked her badly wounded heart and instantly severed her heartstrings. Chapter 145 - Yuan Xuans Voice Was Faintly Discernible, As Though It Came From the Past

Chapter 145: Yuan Xuans Voice Was Faintly Discernible, As Though It Came From the Past

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Before Mu Chenyan fainted, the final scene in her mind depicted the mans arrogant appearance as he hovered above her body. She was only twenty-four years old but she had already experienced unbearable pain and unimaginably traumatizing incidents numerous times. These bitter feelings equipped her with instinctive responses to withdraw. In the darkness, Mu Chenyan seemed to see herself from fourteen years ago. This slim youngdy tied her hair in two braids and naively smiled as she followed her father to the visit the Yuan Family. When she saw the iparably noble yet quiet and gloomy young man under the shadow of the mottled pomegranate tree, the ignorant girls crisp voice called out to him, saying, Brother Xuan... His cold gaze contemptuously nced at her before a faint noise of acknowledgment rang out from his chest. However, that insufferably arrogant figure resembled the genial warmth of sunshine on a winters day that powerfully and forcefully ripped open a wound in her tender heart. This young mans upright figure became her future goal that she persistently sought after and followed for the next ten years without any changes... However, she had never imagined that his silhouette would be the embodiment of a devilish phantom that tortured her. When he used the simr strength of the past to tear at her gentle heart, the intense pain felt both real and imaginary. She was extremely terrified but could not escape her nightmare no matter what. The physical pain made her want to die but nothing could be painful enough to off-set the temporary sharp de in her heart. She treaded deeper into her dreams because the terribly scathing reality made her unwilling to wake up. She had never doubted her initial decisions during these fourteen years. She had told herself all along that she would not regret the past but she would no longer believe in the future either... She had loved him excessively but he gave her so much pain instead... * Doctor Zhou, why hasnt she woken up yet? Yuan Xuans voice was faintly discernible, as though it came from the past. Anxiety and remorse now appeared in the voice of this man who had been calm all along. When the man called Doctor Zhou saw the currently uneasy side of the godlike man who was also the first sessor of Luo Hais Yuan Family, he momentarily hesitated before he decided to tell the truth. Mr Yuan, your wife suffered a shock and caught a chill. In addition... In addition to that, her body could not endure the overly intense love-making... Inparison to Yuan Xuans sonorous voice, this mans extremely gentle voice apparently possessed soothing properties. Mu Chenyan instinctively moved her fingers in hopes that the person called Doctor Zhou could save her. Overly intense love-making? Yuan Xuans expression darkened while he unconsciously pinched his temples because of his headache. Doctor Zhou had embarrassed him! However, he was shocked when he saw the woman on the bed right after he had arrived. He had never imagined that a callous man who appeared to show abstinence to the outside world would disy such a ferocious side in this matter. Then... Are there any other good ideas? Shes already been unconscious for an entire day! Yuan Xuans voice was slightly hoarse. When the remorseful man nced at the woman on the bed and saw that she resembled a crushed butterfly with torn wings, the entire ce seemed like an area of devastation in his sight. Moreover, her beautiful wrists and pale neck that were filled with startling marks constantly used him of his extremely violent actionsst night. Doctor Zhou pushed his sses before he spoke in an awkward tone and said, Mr Yuan, there are times when women are really frail... You... Perhaps if youre somewhat gentler to her and make it up to her emotionally, that might be more effective than calling a doctor over. The grave expression on Yuan Xuans face lessened Doctor Zhous confidence as he spoke. He forced an embarrassed smile before he continued, Your wife will definitely awaken before dinnertime because shes just exhausted now... Mr Yuan, Ill be off then? This reckless doctor was attempting to sneak away after he had finished lecturing Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuans lowered his head before saying, Doctor Zhou, you were rmended by Third Uncle. This matter ends here today so I hope that I wont hear any rumors spreading around outside. Doctor Zhou was so frightened that he inhaled a mouthful of cold air before he continuously nodded and said, I wont say anything! * Inside Blue Spirit Shadowlight Bars luxurious private room In a dark corner, two tipsy men momentarily met each others eyes through the smoke that rose between their fingertips. Wu Ze tly said, You should give me a reason for kidnapping one of my staff, right? Yuan Xuans posture was elegant when he gently leaned against the sofa. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of smoke and exhaled a long misty breath before he narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Ze. Previously, this man had nearly lost his own life to save him. Thus, he had sworn to willingly do anything to repay him, including cutting off his own flesh topensate him. However, Mu Chenyan was certainly excluded as a form ofpensation! Chapter 146 - Debts Must Be Repaid

Chapter 146: Debts Must Be Repaid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion His almond-shaped eyes were as deep and dark as an ancient pond. Yuan Xuan turned his body sideways before he quietly said, I can return that person to you but your debts must be repaid! Wu Zes heart felt suffocated. He suppressed the mes of fury in his heart before he sneered and said, What debts? Do I owe you anything, Young Master Yuan? As Yuan Xuan did not want to argue with Wu Ze, he simply waved his hand before Yan Jun who was on the side understood and went out to make a gesture. Wu Ze had no idea what Yuan Xuan was doing. He quietly watched him before the door of the private room was pushed open shortly after that as Tian Qi dragged a woman over and rushed inside. Yin Shan saw that Yuan Xuan appeared far and aloof. After staying by Wu Zes side for several years, Yin Shan naturally recognized Yuan Xuan. This woman was so frightened that her entire body trembled before she helplessly screamed in a high-pitched voice, saying, Are you guys aware of a concept known as the legal system? What heinous crime have Imitted that you have to treat me like this? This is uwful custody... Before she had finished speaking, she lifted her head and caught a glimpse of the gloomy-faced Wu Ze from the corner of her eye. She suddenly turned silent from fear. Miss Yin, as expected of the head secretary of the well-known Zheng Yan Law Firm, youve certainly learned yourws and statutes well! Yuan Xuans tone was filled with taunts. His gaze secretly disyed his murderous intentions. The man who had always been far removed from the masses currently released an aggressive tyrannical aura throughout his entire body. He had suppressed the atmosphere to its limits. Even an experienced corporate elite like Wu Ze could not endure the powerful aura that this man gave off to others, let alone a woman. Yin Shan was terribly frightened. Her body shivered as she gazed at Wu Ze and cried for help while she pleaded, Big Brother Wu, save me! He saw that Yin Shan was unhurt but had probably suffered a great shock that caused her little face to turn indescribably pale. Wu Ze lowered his face and turned to Yuan Xuan, saying, What terrible thing did she do to make you treat a woman like this? What did Mu Chenyan do for her to intentionally frame her? Yuan Xuan angrily spat. Wu Ze was puzzled when he heard this. He suspiciously nced at his female secretary who had curled up into a ball from trembling. Yin Shan, what did you do to Mu Chenyan?! Wu Ze was clearly aware that although Yuan Xuan was an overbearing person, he would never make trouble without reason. Yin Shan cried when she heard Mu Chenyans name and realized that her misdoings had probably been exposed. Her previous arrogance that came from reciting the articles ofw hadpletely vanished. I... I didnt... Yin Shans voice was choked with sobs. She did not want her lowly and despicable thoughts to be exposed before Wu Ze. She was too petty. When she could not endure Wu Zes stares, she quickly admitted defeat and quietly sobbed. Wu Ze furrowed his eyebrows while an extremely ominous premonition formed in his heart. Yuan Xuan coldly snorted and nced at Yan Jun before Yan Jun understood and passed a stack of photos to Wu Ze. Wu Zes expression grew darker as he looked as those photos. Anyone who was not there when it happened would have really misunderstood that there was something going on between him and Mu Chenyan just by looking at those pictures. Yin Shan, did you take these photos? Wu Ze quietly asked while suppressing his anger. Yin Shan was already crying like a baby. Her big bright eyes had instantly lost their spirit when she heard Wu Ze interrogating her in an angry tone. She hesitated for several minutes before realizing that she could not hide it from him anymore. The situation had already reached the lowest point and there was no turning back. Yes, I took them! I sent someone to deliver them to Zhong Heng International as well. I couldnt tolerate the fact that a married woman like her was still seducing other men... Yin Shans face looked hideous as she screamed because her lipstick was smudged everywhere. Where was her usual obedient persona? Wu Ze stared at Yin Shan. He was still somewhat unable to believe that the secretary whom he had single-handedly trained and treated as his own sister had actually done something like this. You... Why did you do this? Youll get Mu Chenyan in trouble... Wu Ze was so angry that he fiercely snapped off the cigarette butt in his hand before he stood up and paced across the floor. He had never imagined that he would ever lose control like this before. His personal secretary actually backstabbed him. Right now, he was not worried about arguing with Yuan Xuan because his first reaction was to think of Mu Chenyan. Chapter 147 - Jealous

Chapter 147: Jealous

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan quietly groaned because he was clearly extremely unsatisfied with Wu Zes reaction. Yin Shan used the back of her hand to wipe her tears before she sniffled and loudly said, Im in love with you! Thats the reason! Wu Ze, ... Ive been in love with you for a long time! I was just too afraid to say it because I was worried that youd get angry and ignore me... Youre a godlike being whos more than just a mere man in my heart! But how could a decent man like you fall in love with a married woman? Shes even the wife of your closest friend... Yin Shan nced at Yuan Xuan when she spoke but the mans sinister gaze was fixed on Wu Ze while a cold and gloomy breath drifted out of the corners of his mouth. Wu Zes face turned nk. Disappointed, he sat on the sofa and took another cigarette out of his pocket. His hand faintly trembled before he forcefully calmed himself down and lit up the cigarette. He ced it at the corner of his mouth and angrily inhaled two puffs. Wu Ze was at a loss. Were his innermost thoughts so easily revealed? Yin Shan had immediately guessed his intentions. If Yin Shan could tell, did Mu Chenyan know as well? When he thought of Mu Chenyan, Wu Zes heart seemed to ache for no reason. There was only one woman in the world who could affect him like this but he had no right to be concerned about her. ording to understanding of Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan would probably be the one who suffered if Yuan Xuan had misunderstood his rtionship with Mu Chenyan. He could be ndered but that did not apply to Mu Chenyan. Wu Ze smoked for awhile while his eyes turned redder. He lowered his hoarse voice and said, Yin Shan, these are merely your assumptions... When she saw that a handsome and resolute man like Wu Ze had also revealed his dejected and timid side now, Yin Shan knew that he was not lying because he was afraid of Yuan Xuan but because his heart still wanted to protect Mu Chenyan. Yin Shan grimaced and gritted her teeth before she hung her head and continued, I didnt make these assumptions out of thin air! A womans intuition is very urate. There was something strange about the way you looked at her... Ive been by your side for several years but youve never sent a woman flowers! In thenguage of flowers, the daisies that you gave her meant that you would show your love by quietly guarding her... A proud man like you chose to long for her from afar but you couldnt stop yourself from falling in love with her! If Young Master Yuan was not wedged between you, wouldnt you have chosen her and pursued her without holding back? Yin Shan furiously nced at Yuan Xuan when she spoke as if she wanted to prove that she had not merely exposed this secret for her own sake. Wu Ze remained silent when he heard this. He lowered his head and continued to smoke. Yuan Xuan did not move from his original spot when he sneered as he looked at this arrogant female secretary. Had she not attempted to manipte him before this? Wu Ze only raised his head when he had almost finished puffing his cigarette before he said to Yuan Xuan, Yuan Xuan, I only met Mu Chenyan to talk about some normal things, nothing else! I wouldnt lie to you if something happened between us but you can choose not to believe me. However, you must believe Mu Chenyan because shes madly in love with you! Wu Ze gaze flickered when he spoke, revealing an indescribable pain. Yuan Xuan lowered his head while his gaze lingered on the side of Wu Zes face for a long time as he fell into deep thought. When he received news from Yan Jun that the person who sent the pictures was Wu Zes female secretary, Yuan Xuan had already known that he had probably been fooled. This woman had made it obvious when she was captured. Since she was in love with Wu Ze, she became jealous when she saw that Wu Ze had set his heart on Mu Chenyan. She secretly took these photos because she initially assumed that Yuan Xuan would control his wife. Conversely, she had never imagined that she would nearly bring a fatal disaster upon herself. However, the love bites on Mu Chenyans neck were real. Thus, Yuan Xuan had linked both of these two incidents and concluded that the person who vited Mu Chenyan was Wu Ze. During this confrontation, Wu Zes secretary would not have only sent those two ambiguous pictures if she really had proof of them fooling around. Moreover, she would not be behaving in a secretive manner during the critical moments of this vicious argument. Chapter 148 - Why Did Her Body Have to Awaken When Her Heart Had Died

Chapter 148: Why Did Her Body Have to Awaken When Her Heart Had Died

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan had made a name for himself since young. His mind was matured to perfection, and even though he has an iron will in running the business, he was also very good at establishing connections. Numerous important officials in the political circles and the big shots of the business world all had high respects for him. Despite everything, Mu Chenyan was still his weakness. It was difficult for him to remain calm with matters rted to Mu Chenyan. And this time, extreme jealousy had engulfed him! Now that he had calmed down and thought it through, he realized that Wu Ze was right. Mu Chenyan was a woman who could persistently love him both publicly and discreetly. Thus, how could it be possible for a woman like her who had pursued him for more than a decade tomit adultery? Yuan Xuans emotions had really screwed him up. He had really gotten himself into a mess during his fit of ragest night. It was no wonder that she fell unconscious for an entire day after how he treated her. Why did her body have to awaken when her heart had died? He paced the floor like a lion before he suddenly lifted his leg and kicked over several bottles of red wine that were ced on the table. Yin Shan was frightened that she shrieked and hid on one side as the dark red liquid wantonly flowed. Everyone in the room fixed their eyes on Yuan Xuan and watched as he madly struggled. After a while, Yuan Xuan finally calmed down after much difficulty. However, one question began to gue him. If the marks on Mu Chenyans body were not left by Wu Ze, it meant that someone else had taken advantage of her during his absence for two days. That fact that the person was actually brave enough to openly leave a mark there was sufficient to prove that he was very arrogant. Who had dared to trespass his territory?! This person really wanted to die! The man gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind to rip that person with his bare hands if he ever caught him. Wu Ze restrained himself and remained rational during this critical moment. He remained silent and waited for Yuan Xuan to make his position known. He did not believe that Yuan Xuan would make such a big fuss because of a normal meal. Why did she look for you? Yuan Xuan broke the silence. He recalled that he was the one who returned Wu Zes business card to her. Since she had visited Wu Ze while he was at Liu Li Vi, it meant that she did not want to let him disturb them. It looked like this woman had apparently nned this beforehand. To find a job. Now that this situation had reached a critical point, Wu Ze felt that he would really be leading trouble to his doorstep if he did not clearly exin or take responsibility. I admit that I like Mu Chenyan... Wu Ze nced at Yuan Xuan as he spoke. The man had descended into the darkness of the corner but his entire body was seething with a murderous aura. But we are physically and mentally innocent! At least that stupid girl is. I admit that I had my own wishful thinking... Wu Ze stroked his hair as he had a pained expression on his handsome face. Seeing Yin Shan still on the floor in a dazed and rejected state, he smiled bitterly. There are many women who like me but Ive fallen in love with someone whom I shouldnt have. I dont believe in any damn Gods or fate but I believe in love at first sight! The first time I saw her in Ennd many years ago, an indescribable feeling emerged in my heart. Ive suppressed it for so many years, and I secretlypared the women who tried to get close to me with Mu Chenyan... Yuan Xuans calm expression seethed again as his emotions fluctuated. It seemed as though a thunderstorm had started in the peaceful sky that was previously his innermost being. So, somebody else was already noticing his woman long ago! Ill admit that Im somewhat despicable because Im lusting over your wife! Oh, to be precise, she wasnt your wife yet at that time. The expression on Wu Zes gaze became erratic when he spoke. Hmph! If I had been slightly braver at that time andpeted with you fair and square, she would not necessarily be Mrs Yuan! Wu Zes words caused Yuan Xuan to fall into a state of temporary restlessness. His eyes were filled with anger like a fierce, caged beast as he red menacingly at Wu Ze. In your dreams! Yuan Xuan quietly spat out those three words. His gaze was shady with threatening intentions. Chapter 149 - She Would Still be Mrs Yuan Even if He Met Her a Few Years Earlier

Chapter 149: She Would Still be Mrs Yuan Even if He Met Her a Few Years Earlier

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze smiled bitterly seeing Yuan Xuans attitude. Wu Ze knew in his heart that Yuan Xuan already had Mu Chenyan wrapped around his little finger. To him, even if other people coveted her, they were merely just dreaming. Yes, I was dreaming! Those days are over and Ive missed my best chance. I wasnt aware that it was the feeling of love when I first met her... When you appointed me to be herwyer, I kept numbing myself and told myself numerous times in my heart that she was your wife, and these were your household affairs. I had no right to be concerned whether she was having a good life or not! Wu Zes hands trembled as he spoke. He covered his face and rubbed it several times as if he wanted to get rid of the stifling feeling at the bottom of his heart. The side of his handsome face looked rather twisted. The wild beast that he had strictly controlled in the deepest part of his innermost being for several years had finally shaken off its shackles and started to recklessly charge and bite. This pained Wu Ze greatly. His tone grew louder and his manner became more imposing because he felt that he should not be cowardly anymore. Ive never been as ruthless as you. Youre willing to resort to unscrupulous means for your goals! I could never do that and I couldnt bear to see her suffer. Before the counter-evidence was found, Id even thought of using the Wu Familys influence to bribe my connections to save her! For a person who knew thews to actually think of doing something that was uwful, Wu Ze had actually strayed from the path at that time. He was a man who harbored unrequited love. However, the sympathy and love in his eyes could not be fabricated. After enduring it for so long, he did not want to conceal anything else. He said, Yuan Xuan, this is the first time Ive loved a woman so much! However, shes a woman whom I shouldnt love. If God allowed me to meet her earlier, she wouldnt necessarily be Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuan quietened his breathing before he snorted from his nose. She would still be Mrs Yuan even if he met her a few years earlier. This wouldst throughout her entire lifetime! Wu Ze knew that it was impossible for Yuan Xuan to change because of a few things that he had said because his arrogance was innate. He suddenly backed down slightly and said in a low voice. Yuan Xuan, I know I cant have her but I hope that youll treat Mu Chenyan better. When he heard Wu Zes emotional confession, Yuan Xuans apathetic eyes narrowed. He picked up the wine ss on the table and downed half of the red wine. Yuan Xuans cheeks turned slightly red, his arrogant posture was extremely constrained when he quietly said, How would other people know whether I treated her properly or not? When Wu Ze heard this, the man who had initially calmed down suddenly jumped up on the sofa. His veins bulged and his eyes turned red. He nearly roared out his next words. You said you treated her well. When her blood sample that was taken during the premarital checkup at your Third Uncles hospital was lost that year, why did you freaking wait for two years before bringing out such important evidence? You said that you treated her kindly but you let her suffer so much yet refused to even see her once when she was in prison? I dont know what exactly you were trying to do but you should just say and do it now! Do you know that the biggest problem between the two of you is yourck of trust?! Even during this moment, he could not stand seeingYuan Xuan acting so arrogantly. Yuan Xuan got up from the sofa furiously and violently grabbed Wu Ze by his cor. His eyes were bloodshot as he angrily said, What do you mean weck trust? Shes my wife and I know her best, so what right do you have to criticize me here? Why did she look for you when she needed a job? Wu Ze stared at Yuan Xuan and noticed that his hands were faintly twitching, indicating that he was extremely impatient. Wu Ze wondered to himself and thought, Are you thinking ofying your freaking hands on me? Yuan Xuan tightened his grip. Was the brother whom he had gained in exchange for his life going to vigorously beat him up? When Yuan Xuan heard him say that the thing theycked the most was trust, he could not restrain himself any longer. It was certainly rare for a consistently calm person like himself to pull someone elses cor in such a rough manner. Chapter 150 - The Prince Was Angry

Chapter 150: The Prince Was Angry

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hmph! Wu Ze coldly sneered before he said, Tell me then, why didnt she look for you if she needed a job? If theres nock of trust between the both of you, why didnt she look for you when she needed help? Have you asked yourself that? If you fully trusted each other, why did you make such a big fuss when you saw those photos? You came here to confront me and my secretary so I think that youve definitely had your way with Mu Chenyan already, right? Yuan Xuan gritted his teeth hearing Wu Zes provocative words. The strength in his hands decreased, and a sh of remorse crossed his eyes revealing his inner guilt. Wu Ze knew that he had provoked Yuan Xuans inner wound. Wu Ze gritted his teeth when he realized that he had certainly bullied her. Yuan Xuan had actually taken advantage of the woman whom Wu Ze did not even dare to touch. When he thought of how much Mu Chenyan had already suffered from the selfish man before him, Wu Ze could not bear it any longer. He resentfully said, You needed an outlet to vent after you took advantage of her because it was difficult to bnce the remorse and fury in your heart. Although Yin Shan had given you those photos, how could you believe that a stubborn woman like Mu Chenyan would havemitted an extramarital affair? She stupidly loved you for over a decade and her father died because of you. She even waited to be released from prison for two years and submitted herself to you. How much must her heart have loved you for her to conceal all that hatred? She was such a simple-minded woman but you doubted her anyway. Have you asked yourself what right you have to demand her unwavering endurance and love? Yuan Xuans face muscles started to twitch because Wu Zes words hit the bulls eyes in his heart. He was not God and had a selfish side as well. However, Yuan Xuans pride was seriously wounded as Wu Zes words struck the depths of his heart. Nheless, he did not want to lose to his rival in the matter of love now. Its my right because she loves me! She would never leave me! Yuan Xuans cold-blooded side gave him a sinister presence, as he sputtered out his words coldly and mercilessly. He had always been the ruler of other peoples fate. He believed that he had to punish those who took advantage of him. Mu Chenyan was already a little animal trapped in his hunting circle and would not be able to escape. He hadpletely wrapped her in his hands. Wu Ze was extremely furious when he heard his words. He shook off Yuan Xuans arm and took a step back before he pointed at Yuan Xuans nose and roared, Are you that stubborn to repent to this point? Youre really a freaking idiot if youre behaving recklessly taking advantage of Mu Chenyans unwavering feelings! I truly regretted saving you in the past. Why didnt you just die in Ennd? That way, Mu Chenyan would only suffer for a while instead of an entire lifetime! Shell suffer as long as youre alive because she can neither love nor hate you. Do you think that is nice? No one had ever scolded Yuan Xuan while pointing at his nose like this before. It seemed as though a war could happen at any moment. Yan Jun and Yin Shan were dumbfounded as they stood at the doorway like a couple of blockheads. Meanwhile, Tian Qi whose emotions were always unreadable was now scratching his head looking stupefied. Tian Qi pondered, Should I do something if Young Master and Young Master Wu really start fighting? Yan Juns mind was also torn. He thought, Both of them were bosom buddies but theyve truly gotten themselves into a freaking mess today. How am I going to fix this situation now? Moreover, Third Young Master would definitely notpromise for his wifes sake. Seeing how Yuan Xuans face had turned purplish-red from rage, beads of sweat trickled down Yan Juns head. Oh dear, Luo Hai was about to undergo great changes! The Prince was angry! Chapter 151 - What A Good Actor! Pfft!

Chapter 151: What A Good Actor! Pfft!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The atmosphere became extremely awkward. Both of them stood against each other and the temperature of the room seemed to drop below 273 degree Celsius! Suddenly, the phone rang breaking the awkward moment! Yuan Xuan picked up the phone quickly seeing the name shing on the phone screen. Ah Fu? Yuan Xuan seemed to havee to his senses and had gotten rid of his jealous thoughts. Seeing the call was from Ah Fu, it must be rted to Mu Chenyan. The look on his face changed entirely as he asked urgently, Is the Young Mistress awake? Yuan Xuan sighed in relief after the person on the other side of the line answered him. Ending the call, he saw Wu Ze was still staring at him. Did the two of them almost got into a fight just now? Hurmph! His wife was still with him, why would he need to fight him? Yuan Xuan loosened the tie around his neck and grabbed his slightly crumpled jacket. The handsome man said in a low voice, Bring your secretary away! Also, Im reminding you that Mu Chenyan is my wife and you are my brother! The next time you see her, call her your sister-inw! Wu Ze, ... What a good actor! Pfft! * The sky had turned dark just when Yuan Xuan arrived at the old mansion. From the second floor, Mu Chenyan caught a glimpse of the silver sports car driving slowly into the garage. She could not help but admire Yuan Xuans persistence and loyalty. Every man with a high social status loved cars and would bring a brand new car home every other day. Bentley, Rolls Royce, and Ferrari; there were never enough of it! They would drive this car today and the other car tomorrow, treating each car fairly. Yuan Xuan also had a few luxury cars in his garage. However, if he himself was driving, it will definitely be this phantom-like sports car without a doubt. Many said that ones personality and temper would affect ones living habit. If it was true, then Yuan Xuan would be a slightly stubborn person! His personality caused him to be extremely territorial! Since the ntations in Hibiscus Garden and the thousand acres manor in the Liu Li Vi were his private territory, it could serve only him. Mu Chenyan gradually realized that she was like a furry little bunny that identally hopped into his territory. She ate his carrots, dug around his cabbage patch and tumbled around his potato carriage... Just when she was about to leave, he had sat her down to talk about terms and interest! ... You just got up, why are you sitting here barefoot? When Yuan Xuan walked in, he saw her sitting on the bay window with her arms hugging her knees. Her head leaned against the corner of the wall and she was staring nkly outside the window with her dull eyes. The light blue soft cotton home clothing entuated her graceful and delicate maiden-like curves. Hearing Yuan Xuans doting reproach, Mu Chenyan raised her head with her red lips slightly apart. She looked at him with her big and bright eyes as though she was being wrongly used. He walked forward, hugged her from behind and put his arms around her slender waist. He rested his chin on the nape of her neck and his warm breaths on her seemed to raise the temperature between the both of them. Mu Chenyan trembled slightly and hershes seemed to have tears on them. She was afraid internally, but she did not dare reveal any signs of rejection on her face. She refrained herself and bit her lips! Chenyan, Im sorry! I misunderstood you... Yuan Xuan apologized profusely. He tightened his hug around her as though he was afraid that he would lose her. Mu Chenyan was starting to have difficulties to breathe. She tried to calm her heart and turned her head to the side. She did not want to see his face... Tell me, Chenyan, who bullied you? Ill avenge you! Yuan Xuan would speak in a very soft tone when he wasforting someone. Even though he was a thoughtful and observant man, he missed out one thing. He should have figured out that this proud woman would not go overboard, yet he still humiliated her... Mu Chenyan smiled coldly. After all, what he cared about the most was her chastity... He had said that he has germophobia! This man was too proud and arrogant. He treated her as part of his private asset. Yuan Xuan, if I broke thew of chastity, would you let me go? Mu Chenyan smiled gloomily as she said. There was a faint of bitterness on her face. She thought in her heart, the deeper the love in the past, the colder she felt at this moment! Chapter 152 - Do You Want To Kill Yourself?

Chapter 152: Do You Want To Kill Yourself?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan tightened his arms around Mu Chenyan and lifted her chin with his slightly trembling fingers. He stared into her soul through her deep eyes and said in a low, coaxing manner, I dont care about your virtue! I need to find the one who defiled you and avenge you... He was telling the truth. Everything else that he cared about meant nothingpared to Mu Chenyan! Even if she was no longer clean, she was still Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and said in a brief cold tone, Besides you, no one else will bully me! Do you want to kill yourself? Two years ago, I was trapped in that cage and you broke the hands of those who bullied me! Right now, Im trapped in this cage. If youre willing to let me go, I will be very thankful! ! Yuan Xuan was moved by her words. His eyes turned cold and the anxious beast at the bottom of his heart was trying to get out again. He was afraid to lose her, and he hated such feeling of helplessness. He tightened his hug and Mu Chenyan frowned in pain. Her knees trembled and the bad memories fromst night reminded her to not deny him when the odds were against her. Since she cannot win by force, she should go with what he wanted! Yuan Xuan saw the painful look on her face, he suddenly realized how ridiculous and foolish his actions were. Even at this moment, he was hurting her! He quickly loosened his grip and started caressing her. His restrained voice sounded a little hoarse as he tried to control his emotions and appeased her in aforting manner. Dont worry and stop over-thinking! I wont ask if youre not willing to say! Mu Chenyan remained silent. She did not even want to look at him. As Yuan Xuan look at her delicate red lips, he suddenly lowered his head and nted a light kiss on them. Mu Chenyan trembled and scenes ofst nights traumatic moments yed slowly in front of her eyes. She was afraid of enraging Yuan Xuan by retaliating and history will repeat itself. Thus, she dare not make a move. Yuan Xuan tried his best to restrain his kiss and did not do anything else. There was not a hint of hostility around him. Instead, he hugged Mu Chenyan tightly and continued to say in aforting voice, You can stay here at ease. After a while, you can go out and work if you want to. As for the thoughts of leaving me, Im sure that youll slowly forget about it, right? Yuan Xuan spoke extremely softly and gently. But Mu Chenyan knew that it was amand and not a discussion. Mu Chenyan eyes opened widely. She stared furiously at Yuan Xuan, the depths of her heart roaring wantonly for the love-hate feelings she has for him. Her throat gave out a few choking sounds as she sobbed, Yuan Xuan, you... what do I have to do for you to let me go... Yuan Xuan looked at her delicate face affectionately. Suddenly, he stood up straight, carried her from the bay window and put her on the bed. He covered her with a nket and rubbed his big rough hands on her little feet, See, its freezing cold! He avoided Mu Chenyans question. He looked at the persistent look in Mu Chenyans eyes and continued saying in a low voice, Little Chenyan, please forgive me! ! Im afraid of losing you... Dont sit there next time, youll catch a cold. It will be difficult for a woman who caught a cold to bear a child! Youre irritated now, but when you think about the baby that well have in the future, will you feel better? Mu Chenyan was so angry that she could feel the blood rushing to the top of her head! A baby? He was still thinking about having a baby? ? Who said that she would bore him a child? * Mu Chenyan did not go downstairs for dinner. Yuan Xuan got Ah Fu to bring her dinner up to her. Mu Chenyan was still feeling weak, she slept after eating a little even though it was not bedtime yet. In the midst of blurriness, she thought she could hear conversationsing from downstairs. Im sorry, Third Young Master, the surveince cameras are not working. Everything that happened yesterday and the day before was not recorded... The helper Liu Hui was trembling in fear and he dare not even raise his head. The Third Young Master wanted to look at the surveince videos recorded during the two days that he was away. Coincidentally, the surveince camera was broken at such a critical moment! Chapter 153 - Sleep With Me

Chapter 153: Sleep With Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan sat on the sofa and looked at Liu Hui in anger. The was a dangerous aura in his cold dark eyes! The cold aura made him seem as though he was apletely different personpared to when he wasforting the woman upstairs. Liu Hui felt as though he had sold his life for money while doing this job. One needed to be really courageous to serve the Third Young Master. Since Butler Fu was sick, Liu Hui became the acting butler for a few days. Moreover, Liu Hui had always been in charge of the Yuan Family Mansions security. So how the surveince camera was broken on the day that something happened to Mu Chenyan. Where did the Eldest Young Master go? Yuan Xuan suddenly asked coldly. Liu Hui was flustered, but he tried to remain calm and answered respectfully, Eldest Young Master went out early in the morning yesterday. From what I heard from Peace Mansion, he went for a business trip! Did he wander around Hibiscus Garden in the past two days? The oppressive aura from Yuan Xuans noble status caused his tone to have an overpowering force! Liu Hui did not know why did the Third Young Master ask about this, but he knew in his heart that this was a tough question to answer. If he were to say yes, the Third Young Master might go against the Eldest Young Master. If that happened, he will have a hard time with the Eldest Young Master. If he were to say no, in reality, he did saw the Eldest Young Mastering to Hibiscus Garden at night when he was on duty. The Eldest Young Master even ordered him to inform the other helpers to not walk around casually... Since a mere helper would not dare to question their Master, he dared not say much at that time. However, he did not think that the Third Young Master would call for him today to ask him about this. Liu Hui was not sure why did the Third Young Master want to look at the surveince videos all of a sudden. Even so, he knew that he was in a tight spot with two inevitable situations right in front of him. He was so done for! He would get into trouble no matter what! Liu Hui knew in his heart that he would soon be fired! Yuan Xuan... The womans voice was overly gentle and soft. If he was not sensitive to her voice, he would most probably miss it. The three of them in the living room raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the source of the voice. They saw the pale look on the womans face. She stood at the bottom of the stairs in her pajamas barefoot. Her extremely frail body looked as though she might faint anytime. Yuan Xuan quickly got out of the sofa. Her pajamas was slightly loose and flowy, making her look like she would be blown away by the wind. Yuan Xuan strode over to her quickly and put his hands around Mu Chenyans waist. Then, he scolded softly, Why did you walk out of the room in such thin clothing? Dont you know that you just recovered? His scolding caused her eyes to turn red. Mu Chenyan was like a child who was sleep-walking as she leaned her body against him. She puckered her lips and pleaded softly, Im scared, I want you to sleep with me... What happened? You had a nightmare? Yuan Xuan saw the look on her face, it was as if she had just woken up from a bad dream! Mu Chenyan nodded heavily. Be good, theres a little more left to discuss here. Go back upstairs first and Ill be right there, okay? Yuan Xuan turned around and stared at Liu Hui. Liu Hui secretly prayed in his heart that the Third Young Master would forget about the topic they were having. I dont care, I want you to sleep with me now... Mu Chenyan acted like a spoiled child once again. She puckered her lips and started sniffling softly. The womans teary eyes made her looked extremely adorable and Yuan Xuans heart melted in an instant. Despite how fiercely Yuan Xuan used to treat her, she still hoped to findfort from him. He surrendered, Okay! Dont be scared, Ill sleep with you! He carried her without any hesitation and walked towards the bedroom. Liu Hui stood still in the living room and looked towards Ah Fu. He suddenly let out a huge sigh as if he was saved and almost copsed on the floor... * This was her first time dreaming about Shu Qinger in the past three years. She saw Shu Qinger smiling at her while raising a bloody fetus in her hand. Her ghostly voice echoed in her ears, Mu Chenyan, look, this is Yuan Xuans child! Dont you remember? You killed him with your own hands. Mu Chenyan was petrified. She lowered her head and saw both of her hands covered in fresh blood, I didnt kill anyone... I didnt...

Chapter 154: Bring Me a Dozen of Such a Beautiful Man

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhe was not aware that Mu Chenyans nightmare saved his life! Mu Chenyan pestered Yuan Xuan and stopped him from asking about the hickey on her neck. Yuan Xuan could tell that Mu Chenyan deliberately tried to avoid this topic. Since their rtionship was fragile as if walking on thin ice, he would not ask if she did not want to talk about it. Everything else was nothingpared to Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan did not know when did he start behaving this way, but he took Wu Zes words into his heart. Wu Ze was right, the thing that both of themcked the most was trust. If she trusted him, she would have told him and there was no need for him to investigate the matter. Nheless, even when Mu Chenyan was acting like a spoiled child in front of him, Yuan Xuan felt as though he never reached deep into her heart. It was the first time that Yuan Xuan felt so helpless facing Mu Chenyan. He only had one thought right now. If he could not do things forcefully, then he would spoil her just like before. After all, a spoiled woman would be much better than an abused woman, right? * The business trip that Yuan Zhe went was just an excuse. In reality, he saw that Yuan Xuan had returned and he was feeling anxious. Since Mu Chenyan had evidence in her hands, if she were to change her mind and tell Yuan Xuan about his crimes, he would be dead without a doubt! Thus, he found an excuse and escaped somewhere else! However, more than a week had passed and the Yuan Family was still very peaceful. Only then did Yuan Zhe dared to sneak back into the Peace Mansion after a few days of hiding. He behaved himself and nothing happened for a few days. After such an incident, Mu Chenyans personality became even colder. Sometimes, she would spend a few hours sitting at the balcony and stared nkly out the window. Yuan Xuan watched her day after day and he was getting very worried! Since it was nearing Chinese New Year, Yuan Tian was no longer as busy as she used to be. Yuan Xuan knew that Yuan Tian was probably the only one in the Yuan Family who could walk into that womans heart. Therefore, he sent Yuan Tian to apany her. Yuan Tian alone was equivalent to ten people. After she arrived at Hibiscus Garden, the house started getting lively and the two of them seemed to have a never-ending conversation. As Chinese New Year approached, half of the workers in the mansion were away and the huge Yuan Family Mansion seemed very quiet. Yuan Tian felt that Mu Chenyan was feeling sick from being suffocated. Her brother treated a beauty like her as though a pet in a cage. No matter how patient Mu Chenyan was, she would eventually be sick from boredom. Ill bring you out for some fresh air! When the weekend approached, Yuan Tian dragged Mu Chenyan out without saying much. Mu Chenyan did not know what Yuan Tian was trying to do. Anyhow, she did not have any idea about having fun, so she allowed Yuan Tian to do as she wished. Yuan Tian drove the car to the city and the two of them activated their shopping mode. After all, her brother would be the one footing the bill, so there was no reason to not shop. Yuan Tian dressed Mu Chenyan up from top to bottom. Mu Chenyan had always been a natural beauty and different styles of clothing looked good on her. If she were to put in more effort into dressing up, she would definitely look more beautiful. Yuan Tians eyes opened wide from astonishment each time Mu Chenyan tried on different sets of clothing. Even the shopkeepers wanted to take pictures of her and share it on their social media so that she could model for them for free. Yuan Tian looked at how beautiful Mu Chenyan was and looked at the ts and jeans that she wore. Instantly, she felt as though she was born in the wrong body. I should do a DNA test to check whether if Im a man. This was the first time in a long time that Mu Chenyanughed so happily seeing Yuan Tians charming yet dejected little face, Bring me a dozen of such a beautiful man! Mu Chenyan also had a naughty side. The two beautiful and confident women had already attracted many peoples attention unintentionally...

Chapter 155: Could It Be That Even Women Need To Have Good Kidneys?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion They did not bring any bodyguards along when they left the house today, so they passed their shopping bags to the malls customer service to help send their purchases back to the mansion. After that, Yuan Tian dragged Mu Chenyan along to eat all kinds of food. Recently, Mu Chenyan did not have much appetite but Yuan Tian cured her in just one day! After all, she was a food lover! It would be unprofessional for a food lover to not want to eat! Their stomachs were filled and Mu Chenyan felt that it was time to return home when Yuan Tian suddenly thought of something! Your hair has grown longer, lets go style your hair! There will be a lot of events happening in the Yuan Family during Chinese New Year. Youll definitely need to attend as Yuan Xuans wife! Mu Chenyan brushed her uneven hair. It had indeed grown longer and she never bothered to take care of it. When theres an event, the Yuan Family will have their own stylist... As a matter of fact, Mu Chenyan was no longer interested in this. She could no longer find the motivation to dress up for the man that she loved... Yuan Tian said smilingly, We came out today to have fun. You can seduce my brother after having a beautiful haircut. And when you seed in doing so, dont allow him to touch you. Dont you feel better just by thinking about it? Mu Chenyans face turned bright red listening to what she said. Indeed, it had been a long time since she got intimate with Yuan Xuan. Ever since thest time he ravaged her forcefully, she had a phobia about it in her heart. Even the sight of him in bed terrified her. Recalling the intense, physical pain and the immense, mental fear, she could not help but shiver... Yuan Xuan cared about her feelings and he knew that she had not recovered from that incident. Thus, he refrained himself each time he kissed her and suppressed his desire to hug her while he slept. He never had the intention to force her. Even Yuan Tian knew about their current situation. Did Yuan Xuan reach his limit for him to tell his sister about this? ? Mu Chenyan was very shy. She was never one to openly talk and discuss sexual pleasures. However, Yuan Tian was very interested in her brothers love life, How long can my brotherst? Yuan Tian was not married yet, so it was understandable for her to be curious about this topic. Even so, it was very embarrassing when she was the one being questioned. Mu Chenyans face blushed red as she said angrily, How can an innocent girl ask about this? Does he know a lot of techniques? Is he rough in bed? Is he able to satisfy you? Are you ignoring him because of his bad technique? Yuan Tian could not care less and sheughed mischievously. Her words were getting even more shameless and Mu Chenyan could not bear it anymore. She avoided Yuan Tians gaze and cursed Yuan Xuan internally. If he did notin to Yuan Tian about how she did not allow him to touch her, why would Yuan Tian think about all these? Mu Chenyan never discussed this topic with anyone else and she did not know why was Yuan Tian so experienced. She vaguely said, Hes... Hes okay! Im the one whos not okay... Hmm? Youre not okay? Could it be that even women need to have good kidneys? Yuan Tian was oddly excited. As she spoke, she even lifted up her top slightly and bent her neck to look at her tiny waist. It was as if she could look at her own kidneys! Mu Chenyanughed out loud and said bashfully, Why would women need to have good kidneys? Its just that he alwaysins that I have bad physical strength... Mu Chenyan was telling the truth. If Yuan Tian did not ask, she would have never told her. She was always the one who begged for mercy each time and the discontented look on Yuan Xuans face was indeed very scary! My brother seems like a proper abstinence man on the outside, who knew that the Third Young Master Yuan actually has this side of him! ! Yuan Tian waved her tiny fist in the air excitedly, as if she was Columbus who discovered the New World... This topic suddenly made Mu Chenyan realized that she might have gone too far. A man with such huge needs would still need to satisfy himself every other day although he had a wife! Thest time they had a cold war was more than half a month ago. He must be having a rough time since almost a month had passed already. Was it time for her to forgive him once? Chapter 156 - Inwardly, He Was a Sunshine Boy

Chapter 156: Inwardly, He Was a Sunshine Boy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was lost in her thoughts. She had no idea what to think of as Yuan Tian dragged her walking along. Yuan Tian brought Mu Chenyan to Bewitched Moon Styling House. Given that the styling house was a popr branded chain and it was the weekend, there was a crowd in it. Some pop stars and artists would style their hair here. Even youngdies of the aristocratic families and celebrities would also patron here. Spouse of leaders of Luohais important variety shows would seek styling help from this ce too. Yuan Tian found an exclusive, private room and called for Little White Bunny, whom she liked to tease a lot, Is Yan Jiangsheng here? Little White Bunny saw that it was Yuan Tian and enquired in a low voice, Hes here. Does Sister Tian Tian want him to personallye over to style your hair? Mu Chenyan felt that the name Yan Jiangsheng was familiar. She had not been following the fashion scene and she was overseas for some years. After returning and that incident urred. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to not know who was Yan Jiangsheng. Even though she was the number one socialite, Mu Chenyan had been keeping a low profile, only gaining fame with her literary talent coupled with her natural beauty and the influence of the Mu Family in Luo Hais business world. Even when she attended banquets, she would utilize the service of the Mu Familys own stylist to do a simple makeup. This kind ofrge, branded shop was rarely visited by Mu Chenyan. ... Little White Bunny was sent off by Yuan Tian to go call for Yan Jiangsheng. She made herselffortable just like how she was in the Yuan Family, nestling on the sofa and eating the fruits specially provided for their room that the little stylist had brought over. After a while, a handsome talld rushed over hurriedly. His hair was dyed in a golden yellow, and there were four to five piercings on his ears, all filled a variety of earrings. Great White Rabbit, how wonderful! The busy bee is really here! Yuan Tian swayed her hips as she lunged at him to tter the handsome man and pinched his face. Tsk tsk tsk. How tender! Mu Chenyan was speechless. Did this little sister-inw of hers not know that her beauty was inherently lethal? With her making such unscrupulous contact with an adult man, imagine the amount of self-control that man would need in order to not push her down and want her! Mu Chenyan sized up thed who had a very cool appearance. His expression did not change, but he was staring at Yuan Tian with a little fondness and yfulness in his eyes. This was Yan Jiangsheng? He seemed to be in his twenties, and Yuan Tian had called him Great White Bunny... Nheless, he was indeed handsome! He had fair skin and a pair of trending Korean-style phoenix eyes. His angr face had traces of mischief, yet his eyes were the look of a gentlemans, which was not sleazy at all. Sister Tian Tian, what hair would you like to set for today? Yan Jiangsheng spoke in a very nice baritone voice, but it did not match his age because it was overly deep! Mu Chenyan could not help to sweep a few more nces at him. She actually felt that he looked familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen him. Who are you calling sister? Im only one year younger than you, alright? You dont engage in proper work, and youre this flippant as a stylist! Yuan Tian seemed to be very close to Yan Jiangsheng. Her slim waist nestled on the sofa once more, and she pointed at Mu Chenyan, Help my sister-inw to do her hair. Her attractiveness value has to be raised to the pinnacle! Yan Jiangsheng looked at Mu Chenyan, and his eyes lit up in amazement. He motioned in a chivalry manner to invite Mu Chenyan to the seat while smilingly said, Miss Mu, its been long. Mu Chenyan was secretly surprised. Those who referred her as Miss Mu and not Mrs Yuan were surely her old acquaintances! Yan Jiangsheng. Hes thergest shareholder of this chain store. He represented Luo Hai to participate in an international stylingpetition in the Southeast Region and won Gold for it. Hes also currently the judge and the organizingmittee of thepetition. Yuan Tian introduced. Yuan Jiangsheng had always responded ndly to his professional achievements, but hearing theming from Yuan Tians mouth, he actually felt rather proud of himself. Mu Chenyan looked carefully at Yan Jiangshengs face and suddenly remembered that he was Yuan Tians friend from high school. He also seemed to be a racer and had been relentlessly pursuing Yuan Tian for a while previously. At the entrance of the Yuan Family Mansion, Mu Chenyan had seen him led a group of boys on bikes with their engines throttling loudly. They looked cool, with their ripped jeans making a youthful promation. That time, the Yuan Familys household servants stared at this group of kids like they were looking at thieves. Mu Chenyan still remembered the unruly character of Yan Jiangsheng. With his thug-like ir, he hooted at the Yuan Familys servants, So what if you all are rich? Im here to look for my wife. Whats that got to do with all of you? No one could expect that unruly teenager back then to be Luo Hais famous chief stylist today! He still had that impish aura on him, but one could see that the ignorant teenager from back then, now had a sense of forbearance and fortitude after years of sedimentation. After Yan Jiangsheng had given his greetings, he began to size up Mu Chenyan. In actual fact, there was nothing much to be observed of Mu Chenyan. Her hair was not thick and was of average length. From her point of view, just a simple and short bob haircut would settle it all. Yan Jiangsheng seemed to have his own idea though. He had his young disciple gave Mu Chenyan a hair wash before he cut, trimmed, and then permed and dyed her hair. All these took three hours. The food eaten during lunch time hadpleted digested. Mu Chenyans stomach was growling in hunger, while Yuan Tian snuggled on the sofa, snacked, yed with her phone, flipped magazines, and teased the handsome Little White Bunny. She was definitely chilling in the extreme. After Mu Chenyans hairdo waspleted, Yuan Tian had finished two buckets of popcorn and a box of donuts. She burped and jumped up from the sofa, totally bbergasted by Mu Chenyans lob hairstyle. Her hair length did not change much, but after styling it, it was even more supple and elegant. The style refined her face and features, herrge eyes were looking around animatedly. Yuan Tian felt she was seeing the Mu Chenyan back from her high school days. Youre absolutely gorgeous! I suddenly feel that if that pretentious puritanical man in our home is still as proud as a peacock, hes not worthy of you at all! Yuan Tian fondled her chin and reflected her thoughts earnestly, setting off Yan Jiangsheng, who was by the side, inughter. Is he that mad sister-guardian of yours who should have been admitted to the psychiatric hospital, your elder cousin brother, Third Young Master Yuan? Despite being in the service line, Yan Jiangshengs uninhibited and unruly character was still the same old. In front of Mu Chenyan, he had openlymented on Yuan Xuans conduct... Mu Chenyan secretly broke out in sweat for Yuan Xuan. It turned out that our cold and arrogant puritanical man, Third Young Master Yuan, appeared as such in the eyes of others... Yuan Tian cackled. Such resentment you have! Hes a Muay Thai enthusiast. You came to my house to tease and flirt with me. Who should he have beaten up if not you? He cant be embracing a beauty in his own arms but not allow you to marry, can he? Youd have to marry someone sooner orter, and I believe that Im the best fit! Its not toote if you regret now. Ive not married, nor have you. Marry me, and your hair will be personally trimmed and styled by your husband for your whole life. Just thinking about it makes one excited, doesnt it? Yan Jiangshengs voice sounded extremely pleasant. Although he was joking with that cool appearance of his, yet he was serious in expressing his sincerity to Yuan Tian. Mu Chenyan watched the two and felt that they were a good match. Both of their characters were free and easy. They might be outspoken, but they actually had a meticulous mind. Mu Chenyan could sense that when Yan Jiangsheng was styling her hair. With such an aplishment at such a young age, there must be an exnation to it! His service made her felt exceedinglyfortable. Though outwardly, he appeared to be arrogant, inwardly, he was a sunshine boy. Chapter 157 - One-sided Love

Chapter 157: One-sided Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hearing Yan Jiangsheng confessing his love frankly made Yuan Tian chuckled. Heh, you were beaten up by my brother and yet you still havent changed a bit. Ive always treated you as my bro, so stop fooling around. Whats more? Dont you already have Little Yao? Mu Chenyan did not know what was the story between Yan Jiangsheng and Yuan Tian, but from their conversation, she understood that the one who had caused them to be separated was Yuan Xuan. Nheless, truth to be told, Yuan Tian was also not the kind of person to be restrained. If she was really willing, Yuan Xuan would not have separated them. Yan Jiangsheng casually ced his arms on Yuan Tians shoulder and inly said, Alright then, Ill wait for you. Anytime you want a man, juste look for me! No problem! Deal, BP 1 ! . It refers to those fans who benefit from the stars work but do nothing to contribute to it; https://hahachn.wordpress/2018/02/24/bai-piao-fan/) Yuan Tian chuckled and casually removed Yan Jiangshengs arm, taking Mu Chenyans hand and was prepared to leave. Yan Jiangshengs handsome and dazzling faze turned dim all of a sudden. The vigor and vitality of the young man coupled with his gloomy expression gave off a sense of disharmony. ... Leaving Bewitched Moon, Mu Chenyan became curious about Yuan Tians love life. Yuan Tian was already passed the age of 20. Even though she did not go to university and had hardlye across any peers, it was impossible that her love life remained empty all these years? Moreover, Yuan Tian was naturally beautiful, and the men were blind to not pursue the youngdy of the Yuan Family. Had Yuan Tians heart really never be moved at all? Tian Tian, have you never liked a boy? Mu Chenyans curious tone cracked up Yuan Tian. You assume that I like Yan Jiangsheng, dont you? Were really just bros! Yuan Tians nonchnt response was like her usual bearing. Compared to Yan Jiangshengs attitude, Yuan Tian was overly nonchnt. Mu Chenyan secretly felt sorry for Yan Jiangsheng in her heart. This was probably a one-sided love. How about other boys? Mu Chenyan pressed on. Others? Havente into contact with any. Youre well aware that I entered society right after I graduated from high school. Every day, besides learning, my lifes revolved around hospital matters. The people whom I meet are either soldiers or patients, and theyre hoping for me to save them. How would they think of dating me? Then, do you remember where have you been for the past three years? Who have youe into contact with? Mu Chenyan had been bothered by this issue all this while. Yuan Tian held onto the steering wheel as she watched the traffic ahead. Cant remember much. Besides learning, performing surgery, ying with various little white bunnies, I dont think theres any man. Yuan Tian said indifferently. She had always been this unconcerned anyway. Mu Chenyan sighed and said softly, Youd still have to marry someone someday. I hope you will marry for love and not for the sake of marriage. Is there a difference? Yuan Tian did not know that there was such a saying. Did people not marry because of love? In this world, there are many cases where people loved in vain. You wont be able to understand since you havent experienced it. Whats more? Sometimes, you might be loving him and he might be loving you but both of you might not be on the same channel. Even if you married each other, it could be a misced love... While Mu Chenyan was speaking, Yuan Tian was already looking at her with a questioning gaze. Mu Chenyan, are you talking about you and Yuan Xuan? He didnt care about you when youre pursuing him and loving him. Now that youre feeling tired, you dont want this kind of love anymore, yet he got you trapped in a marriage? Yuan Tian knew Mu Chenyan too well. Their rtionship was more than that of sisters-inw, hence she could point out the heart of the matter directly! Mu Chenyan felt that she was directed by Yuan Tian back to the main point. She smiled and diverted the conversation, Drive carefully and watch the road. Just when she had finished speaking, a bright yellow Ferrari suddenly swung out from the auxiliaryne beside and bumped into the rear end of Yuan Tians white Porsche... Screech! The sound of metal scraping and cars breaking rang through the dark sky. It was the evening peak, and all the pedestrians stopped in their tracks. The two luxury cars kissed each other, and the two aggressive little white bunnies that exited from the car were both beautiful looking and pleasant to the eye. It would be breaking news if a catfight were to break out between them! The pedestrians excitedly took out their phones and began to spread the news...

Chapter 158: Yuan Tians Mouth Was to a Force to Be Reckoned With

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was shocked. The performance of both cars was quite good, hence they had only scrapped each other lightly, and the people in the cars were safe. But when both parties got down from their car and saw each other, Mu Chenyan could not help but rant in her heart. As luck would have it, enemies had a way of running into each other. Yo! Isnt this the great Miss Feng? What a coincidence! Your elder brother was chasing after my ass before this and was beaten up by me, and now your car is stuck to my cars ass. How is it that you people from the Feng Family just love to stick up to peoples ass? Mu Chenyan thought in her heart, Yuan Tians mouth is such a force to be reckoned with! She noticed that Feng Raos expression was rather arrogant when she first stepped out of the car, but then she was stunned by Yuan Tians pre-emptiveunch of words! The reason Feng Zhi that idiot did not recognize Yuan Tian and dared to flirt with her in the bar was that Yuan Tian rarely appeared in the aristocratic families gatherings. Even if she did, the two did not make any contact with each other. Most of the outsiders only knew of Yuan Ran, the eldest youngdy of the Yuan Family, but they hardly knew Yuan Tian. However, as a socialite, Feng Rao recognized Yuan Tian. Feng Rao was no fool. Her father had relied on the Yuan Family to secure a bank loan to turn their financial situation around. Moreover, Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tangzhong now held substantial power in the political and business world. She could not afford to offend the people of the Yuan Family. Furthermore, colliding into the rear-end of others meant that she was the one to bear full responsibility. There was nothing to argue about. However, she was used to being domineering. She had initially wanted to vent in anger and question the other party when she came out of the car, but she was now at a loss and had no idea what had just happened! Oh, its Miss Yuan. You see, my skill isnt that good, I couldnt keep up with the cars performance. Just now, I was distracted and didnt step on the brake in time and got too close. Illpensate you. Seeing it was Yuan Tian, Feng Rao immediately changed her arrogant demeanor and smiled apologetically in spite of Yuan Tians unpleasant words. She smiled and spoke in a coaxing voice, which caused ones hair to rise. Mu Chenyan recognized that bright yellow Ferrari. It was a gift that Mu Chenwu had bought for Feng Rao! Feng Rao had on her a super mini-skirt and knee-high boots. Her wavy hair was fetching in the extreme. She flipped her hair, and her face was full of apologetic smiles. She did not notice that the woman beside Yuan Tian was Mu Chenyan. It looked like the hairdo that Yan Jiangsheng had set was a sess. Yuan Tian observed that Feng Raos attitude was passable and coldly snorted, No need for you topensate. I dont want to have any connections with you. You better leave quickly. Seeing that the gloating passers-by were taking pictures and video recording them, Yuan Tian was getting annoyed. She did not want to be theughing stock of the entire city. After all, thest time she had a fight in the pub, she had be famous overnight... Yuan Tian wanted to get rid of Feng Rao quickly, hence her attitude was not that pleasant. Little did she expect Feng Rao toe closer and smiled. Im terribly sorry, Miss Yuan. Ill treat you to a meal another time as an apology. As she spoke, Feng Rao swept a nce at Mu Chenyan and identified her. The amazement on her face was undisguisable. Mu Chenyan? Yuan Tian snorted. It was as if Mu Chenyans grandeur was her masterpiece. The proud Big Tian said in a smirking manner, Gorgeous, right? Bewitched Moons Yan Jiangsheng personally styled it for her. Feng Rao revealed an expression of admiration, even her eyes were filled with aspiration. Yan Jiangsheng rarely styles other peoples hair in person nowadays, but you were actually able to ask him... She recalled that Yan Jiangsheng not only had a unique sense of judgment for beauty, but his skills were also exceedingly good. Moreover, he was really handsome, and having him style ones hair was also an enjoyment! Unfortunately, Yan Jiangsheng became famous at a very young age and was the biggest shareholder of his chain stores. Hence to have him personally style ones hair was as difficult as reaching for the heavens. Thest time, the highly popr celebrity, Zhou Xiaomeng, came to Luo Hai to promote her new movie, she had wanted to ask him to set her hair for her for the red carpet walk. She offered a high price of a hundred thousand for each service, but he did not ept the offer. Chapter 159 - Mu Chenyan Got into the Car, and Her Heart Could Not Settle Down for a Long Time

Chapter 159: Mu Chenyan Got into the Car, and Her Heart Could Not Settle Down for a Long Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Seeing Feng Raos smitten look, Yuan Tian smiled contemptuously. The next time you want to ask him to style your hair, you can just mention my name. Hell be there anytime! Miss Yuan, are you very close to him? Feng Rao looked extremely interested. Mu Chenyan was speechless. She really admired how women were able to still gossip and chatted about the handsome and chic hairstylist at an ident scene... From Mu Chenyans point of view, Yan Jiangshengs attitude towards Yuan Tian was not just being present to style her hair whenever she called him. He had even promised to sleep with her if she wanted him to... Feng Rao closed in on Mu Chenyan, enthusiastically took her small hands and said cautiously, Yan Jiangshengs skill is indeed good, but I think that its because Chenyan is already naturally blessed with good looks. Others who had their hair styled might not look as dazzling as Chenyan. The number one socialite truly lives up to her reputation of elegance! Feng Rao ttered on and on. Mu Chenyans eyes were full of astonishment. She did not open her mouth to respond but calmly watched Feng Rao fawned over her... When Yuan Tian felt extremely pleased hearing Feng Rao, as if she was praising her. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Thats for sure. This is my sister-inw! My sister-inw. Got it? Mu Chenyan felt that the sky was filled with crows flying by, crackling caw, caw, caw... The way Yuan Tian spoke sounded like a child boasting proudly of her new toy! Her words also seemed to imply that stupid brother of yours wont know how to find you such a decent sister-inw... Feng Rao smiled embarrassingly and said to Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian. Lets not block the road and obstruct the traffic. Ill personallye and apologize to Miss Yuan another time. Yuan Tian was not concerned with that little bit of damage. Lets leave and be on our way... Mu Chenyan got into the car, and her heart could not settle down for a long time! In her hand was a note that Feng Rao had just stuffed into her hand... ... Zhong Heng International Yuan Xuan leaned his elbow on the table and was immersed in deep thoughts. Kang Yu and Yan Jun stood by the side. For these top-rated assistants, being unable to read their boss mind was a distressing matter. Young Master, about the information that you had me dig into, is there anything wrong with it? Yan Jun asked with extreme caution. You mean to say that Miss Zhaos surgery fee was sponsored by a charitable organization? Has that organization showed the relevant bill? Yuan Xuan asked in a low voice. They did. Ive examined it, and its authentic. The way Yan Jun did his task was attentive and satisfactory. Yuan Xuan sank into deep thoughts. He had been feeling rather depressed recently, as that woman at home had ignored him for almost a month! Being able to only embrace her when sleeping and do nothing else was a torment to him! He could restrain himself from others except for her alone. Every time he suppressed his sexual desire until the extreme, Yuan Xuan would want to find an excuse to erupt and hold her underneath him to have her for a few times! However, he was scared of frightening her. After all, his behavior during thest time had traumatized her. Yan Jun watched his boss being iparably despondent with a surge of undercurrent in his eyes. He was full of deadly aura in the daytime, scaring those troublemaking old men, yet he was in this kind of state in the evening. He still would not go home though the sky was already dark, holding up him and Kang Yu and asking questions non-stop. Presumably, it must be that person at home who had not given him what he wanted. Amitabha, praise, praise! Little Mistress, please dont offend this big Buddha of ours anymore. CEO Yuan, when you brought Miss Zhao for a holiday at Liu Li Vi, did you notice anything that was off throughout the entire time you were with her? Kang Yu did not join in the talk on Yuan Xuans private life under normal circumstances. He usually assumed the position of the corporations internal assistant, and when Yuan Xuan was not around, Kang Yu also held the power to life and death. Her conducts still alright. However, the more she was that way, the more there was a need to investigate. Yuan Xuan stared out of the window into the distance and said inly. Weve been making arrangements for the past few years. Im thinking of hauling in the. Now that shes staying at the Yuan Family Mansion, I dont want there to be anyplications. Kang Yu and Yan Jun looked at each other, and they secretly broke out in sweat. Young Master, whats the next thing you want me to look into? Chapter 160 - She Was His Aged Wine

Chapter 160: She Was His Aged Wine

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun felt that when he retired, he could start up a private detective agency. Go and find out the source of her heart donor. After that child died, his parents should still be keeping in touch with Zhao Ruoxin. Usually, the family who is willing to donate organs will hope that a part of their loved ones would continue to live through another person. Yuan Xuan was exceptionally calm as he instructed Yan Jun. He lit up a cigarette and took two puffs before he suddenly recalled that the woman did not like the smell of tobo. He put out the cigarette in the ashtray. Sitting down and leaning back against his chair, Yuan Xuan rubbed his forehead. He did not have a desire to smoke in general, but he had been feeling too lonesome recently. ... When Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden and discovered that Yuan Xuan was not home yet, she heaved a sigh of relief. Lately, her emotions were like a roller coaster ride, with sudden highs and lows. She was happy and excited when she was with Yuan Tian, but she would gradually be low-spirited upon Yuan Xuans return. Being in the same space with him, Mu Chenyan was somehow unable to rx. Yuan Xuan was still good to her, or one could say that he treated her even better than before. However, she still could not unravel the knot in her heart. The kind of feeling of wanting to find an exit to escape this cage was bing more and more intense following his forbearance, pampering, and doting on her. She could notprehend the situation! What was happening to her? Yuan Xuan and she were like two people loving each other on a different channel when she was stubbornly loving him, he did not seem to know of her goodness; just when she was getting further from him, only then did hee to his senses and wanted to grab hold of her. He was her poppy drug, of which she dared not try to have a taste, yet she could not abstain from it at the same time... She was his aged wine, mellow at the first taste and sweet in the aftertaste... ... Wheres Mistress? Yuan Xuan took off his jacket and nced upstairs. Ah Fu took the jacket and carefully said, Shed just eaten and had gone upstairs to rest. Mistress looked very pretty today... Yuan Xuans face was full of questions. He had passed Mu Chenyan to Yuan Tian, and he really could not imagine what kind of trick this girl would pull off this time. As Yuan Xuan pushed open the door to the bedroom, he spotted Mu Chenyan seated in the recliner at the balcony reading a book. Yuan Xuans eyes lit up. No wonder Ah Fu remarked that Mistress was looking very pretty today! She had had a new hair cut. Her fluffy bangs covered her forehead, while her hair was dyed a light chestnut color, emanating an alluring charm. The shoulder-length hair brought out the fineness of her palm-sized face. Her naturally fair and delicate as jade-like skin with her red lips that were even more enchanting at this moment were as if she was giving out an invitation to him. Mu Chenyan realized he was home, and with a hazy gaze, she blinked her big eyes at him and reached out her hand, Youre back? Yea. Yuan Xuan walked over and bent down to carry her. Mu Chenyan snuggled in his embrace, her brows knitted lightly together. The corner of her eyes spotted the stubbles on the mans chin. That fine, chiseled facial features of his appeared exceedingly sexy no matter which angle one viewed them from. He was Heavens darling. If humans were indeed made by God, he would be the one who was crafted with extreme care and precision! Mu Chenyan was fascinated. When Yuan Xuan ced her on the bed, he unwittingly caught a glimpse of her infatuated gaze. The mans Adams apple moved. Mu Chenyan bashfully closed her eyes, her lips parting slightly. Seeing such a cautious invitation, Yuan Xuan could not miss out for sure! His heart even jumped for joy a little. He nted a kiss with extreme care while trying hard to control himself. He propped himself up on his elbows on the bed, afraid that he would press too hard on her and cause her pain. Both his hands were caressing her fragrant hair as he indulged and lost himself in her scent... Mu Chenyan moaned a little. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and she let out a short breath, her eyes misty as she said in a low voice, Yuan Xuan, I... want... Yuan Xuan froze! They had been in a cold war for more than a month. No matter how much he wanted her previously, he could only lightly peck her. The trauma from that night had caused her to distance herself away from his gentleness. Even when he kissed her every time, she would be jittery, as if she was approaching an abyss. Today she actually mentioned on her own that she wanted? Chapter 161 - That Was An Accident

Chapter 161: That Was An ident

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan could not stop his heart from quivering. His big warm hands found their way inside her loose pajamas, removing the articles of clothing that were in the way a few momentster. The bodies of these two people who had fully trusted each other once again were now faintly trembling. Yuan Xuans honey-colored skin glittered under the gentle light... Mu Chenyans vision was blurry when her slender fingertips gently slid down along his chest, forming a tingling sensation and leaving ambiguous marks on his smooth skin. Yuan Xuans wild heart could not be suppressed any longer before he covered her lips once again... She released a dull moan as the tips of their tongues intertwined and became more intense each time... Although Chenyan felt that he was about to reach the depths of her throat soon, Yuan Xuan still felt that he was unable to express his passion. Mu Chenyan then felt as though she could not catch her breath as the twisting of the tips of their tongues became more fervent. While they were entangled, he even softly murmured, Little Chenyan, you always find a way to make me crazy! She had certainly intoxicated him since the first time. He could not help himself once he had tasted it. Little Chenyan, I want to devour you... Youll be able to see my heart that way... Yuan Xuan was slightly panting before he suddenly said the most intimate words to her. This was too effective towards Mu Chenyan... Mu Chenyan was extremely embarrassed. Although both of them had slept together many times, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to ask for it. She wrapped both of her arms around his neck and lightly descended into his passionate, hot, and frantic kisses. Soft, persistent moans unconsciously and gently flowed out of her throat. She could hear his impatient heart forcefully beating when she stered herself against his chest. Amidst the confusion, Mu Chenyan did not even think before she pressed her warm lips there. She had teased Yuan Xuan until his entire body was hot... However, Yuan Xuan had already learned how to control himself when he recalled thest time he hurt her. He leisurely advanced and made sure that the forey was sufficient... He was too familiar with her sensitive areas. Hisrge hands wandered across every inch of her skin, causing her to repeatedly shudder until he felt an enthusiastic invitation from her moist cavity... He sunk himself inside... * Five minutester, Yuan Xuan disappointedly sat on the bed. A dumbfounded expression filled the arrogant mans face while he looked at his own member in disbelief. He nkly stared. Mu Chenyan had not expected that this man who was usually filled with stamina had actually be so flustered today. She got up and pulled her pajamas over before she wrapped herself in them. Traces of intimacy still remained on the bed where they had previously done shameful things. In Yuan Xuans eyes, those were simply the worst insults. He leaped off the bed as if he was unable to face Mu Chenyan and got dressed in his pajamas. He took a box of cigarettes out of the inteyer of the closet and went to the balcony. Amidst the dull shine of shooting stars and the faint white smoke that curled around, the mans profound gaze grew colder. The unavoidable awkwardness made him only think of quietly isting himself now... Mu Chenyan did not disturb him but silently changed the bedsheets instead. Men would definitely be embarrassed during moments like these, more so a man like Yuan Xuan with an enormous ego. Yuan Xuan finally regained his confidence after finishing three cigarettes. He turned around and looked at the woman on the bed who was quietly buried underneath the nkets. Her cheeks were still faintly blushing from the passion just now. Hisrge hands stroked the stray hairs in front of her forehead before the mans deep voice said, Im sorry, that was an ident. Lets try again? Mu Chenyan frantically mbered up and used the nket to cover her face, only exposing her eyes before she hurriedly shook her head and whispered, Another day. You should go and shower first... Yuan Xuan was inwardly extremely unsatisfied with his own performance. His sputtering failure this time caused him to be at a slight loss. His face looked terrible when he restrained himself and nodded before he gently said, You be good, sleep first while I shower. ... The sound of water echoed from the bathroom. Mu Chenyan gently sighed in relief. In spite of everything, she unkindlyughed when she recalled his defeated scene earlier. Chapter 162 - Mu Chenwu Will Be Waiting for You at the Cemetery at 8AM Tomorrow

Chapter 162: Mu Chenwu Will Be Waiting for You at the Cemetery at 8AM Tomorrow

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan was still staring and waiting for him when he came out wrapped in a bath towel. She nced at his strong and lean, fat-less physique, which was bursting with sexual appeal. Mu Chenyan hurriedly turned her embarrassed little face towards one side. Yuan Xuan reached out and hugged her by her slim waist before he allowed her head to rest on his arm. He lowered his voice and regretfully said, The thing that happened earlier, that was an ident! Mu Chenyan quietlyughed and buried her head against his waist before her tone turned mncholic as she gently said, Your usual violent and ruthless manner was too much so this is good as well. Who asked you to be so arrogant? Yuan Xuan could tell that she wasining of his normal crude style but his heart warmed up because she spoke in a coquettish tone. When he thought of how their rtionship had made him felt as if he was treading on thin ice had now progressed to this stage, the gloominess in his heart did not seem so bad anymore. Although todays event was an imperfect first time, it served as a beginning nheless. He did not have to worry about the absence of a second or third time in the future. He inwardly rxed because he did not want to feel regretful over wasting such a good chance anymore. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead before he whispered, Dummy! This is how a man loves a woman. How would you know if I wasnt fierce? Mu Chenyans body trembled while she continued burying her cheek against his waist so that Yuan Xuan could not see the stunned look on her face. The word love had never been spoken between them before. She would probably be much happier if this happened two years ago before everything else had urred. When Yuan Xuan saw that she was coquettishly refusing to lift her head, various feelings stirred and swelled at the bottom of his heart. He wrapped a stray strand of her hair around his fingertip before he praised her, saying, Very pretty! When Mu Chenyan knew that he wasplimenting her new hairstyle, the woman quietlyughed when she could not help but remember Yan Jiangshengments towards her. Whats so funny? Huh? Nothing! I just met an old friend when I was getting my hair styled today and I thought of something funny. Mu Chenyan did not dare to speak about Yuan Tian and Yan Jiangsheng who, behind his back, seemingly described him like a powerful deity who was trying to break up a couple. Since Yuan Xuan knew that she did not have many old friends in Luo Hai, he guessed that this was probably rted to Yuan Tian. Hence, he did not ask many questions when he noticed that she did not borate. He hugged her around her shoulders and quietly sighed, Is everything alright now? Will my wife forgive me for my rough behavior that day? Mu Chenyans heart was moved when she heard the cautiousness in his tone. Yuan Xuan had always been proud. She had even heard Wu Ze mention that he had never seen him admit defeat even when he was in a dangerous situation in Ennd. However, was he not yielding to her today? Mu Chenyans voice was slightly choked when she quietly said, I want to go and see my father at the cemetery tomorrow... If there were thorns that could not be removed from Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuans hearts, then Mu Fengs death could definitely be considered as the most serious one. Yuan Xuan tightened his arm around Mu Chenyans shoulders while a hint of sternness and anger shed across his face. It seemed as though his heart had encountered a critical hit that caused the dark fog that had recently vanished to gather once again. He understood in his heart that she had apparently taken the initiative to break the ice because of ater goal. Every instance of this womans spontaneous gentleness definitely harbored specific aims. Okay, do you need me to send someone to apany you? He suppressed his emotions before he slowly opened his mouth to speak. Regardless of how she had changed, he still doted on his own woman. Mu Chenyan hurriedly shook her head and declined, saying, Itll be fine for me to go alone. Ill drive there because I want to speak to my father. Ill probably be anxious if you send someone to follow me. Yuan Xuans heart faintly quivered. Hebed Mu Chenyans hair before he whispered, Tell your father that youre well. Mu Chenyan nodded whileplicated feelings secretly surged through her thoughts. ... The note that Feng Rao had given her wrote: Mu Chenwu will be waiting for you at the cemetery at 8 in the morning tomorrow. Chapter 163 - My Wifes Waist Is Really Slim

Chapter 163: My Wifes Waist Is Really Slim

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The next day, Mu Chenyan got up really early and made breakfast because she was preparing to go to the cemetery. Once Yuan Xuan had properly tidied up, the man suddenly passed his tie to her. Thank you for your hard work, Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuanspletely earnest manner was extremely annoying. His gaze was filled with anticipation. Mu Chenyan took the dark red tie from him and held her breath before she quietly approached him. She was not considered to be of a small stature but she appeared extremely petite in front of Yuan Xuans 1.88m physique. Her fingertips intertwined as she tied his necktie and silently endured his unreasonable harassment. A short whileter, Yuan Xuan ced his hand on her waist and gently stroked it before he sighed and said, Mmhmm, my wifes waist is really slim... Momentster, the tip of his nose shifted towards the top of her head where he inhaled the scent there. He appeared intoxicated before his tone became faintly indiscernible as he softly said, My wife smells like fragrant flowers... A handsome man who could earnestly act like a flirty gangster was very powerful. Mu Chenyans little face blushed as she avoided his dazzling gaze and his hands that were taking advantage of her. Yuan Xuan loved smelling the intoxicating scent of her body. This scent was neither the heavy aroma of perfume nor the flowery fragrance of shower gel. That scent was distinct to only her and it was exclusive in the world. Perhaps this was the scent of a woman that the poets spoke about... Mu Chenyan finally broke through the heavy obstacles and finished tying the necktie. She lowered her head and remained speechless. Although she was embarrassed and could not stand his harassment anymore, she patiently endured it nheless. This caused Yuan Xuans gloomy emotions to slowly improve. He inwardly told himself that although they were still estranged, their fondness for each other would grow as time passed. He had the time to wait. He had done so many things to make this woman stay. Although the price that he paid was somewhat too steep, it was enough because she chose to stay by his side in the end. The current Yuan Xuan would never have thought that many yearster, he would constantly stare nkly as he caressed the clothes that she had left behind as he was already used to that scent. He would search for the scent of her body between the threads of the cloth... It was harder for him to imagine that he would walk on the same path as her, sat where she sat, ate the food she ate, listened to the songs she listened, and rested his head on her pillow many yearster. However, he could not cure himself from the insomnia that he suffered throughout the whole night... * Cemetery Thest time she came here, Mu Chenyan had just been released from prison. Her mood was extremely somber every time she came here. Things remain, yet he is here no more. Her father who used to charge through the battlefield nowy below the icy ground for two years now. Despite being his daughter, she had not seen him during his final moments. Mu Chenyan ced the tributes that she had brought along before the stone tablet. She looked around and noticed that her surroundings werepletely silent. It was already winter and it was still early now as the cold winds continuously blew. Mu Chenyans heart was slightly fearful and emotional. In the process of trusting Feng Rao, she had certainly undergone an intense mental struggle as well. Feng Rao was not a kind person and numerous unpleasant events had previously urred between them too. If Feng Rao used this opportunity to retaliate against her, she would definitely die without a doubt. However, she could not bear the temptation of meeting her brother. However, she was worried that the phone that Yuan Xuan had given her contained questionable elements like monitoring or tracking abilities. The hospital was fatally suffocating. Since Yan Mei was already under Yuan Xuans strict surveince, she was worried that she was not better off either. Thus, Mu Chenwu had thought of using an outdated method such as getting Feng Rao to deliver a paper note to call her out. Since this was a cemetery that was surrounded by a wide open space, he could escape anytime if he was really in danger. In her heart, Mu Chenyan repeatedly imagined herself in the situation which she would meet her brother. She also continuously convinced herself to believe Feng Rao this one time. Although she was taking a huge risk, she took certain things into consideration and brought Yuan Tian along. Yuan Tian was waiting outside the cemetery. That girl had pure intentions and could not think too far ahead, but she served as a deterrence towards Feng Rao. Even if Feng Rao was extremely brave, she would never dare to pick a fight with the Yuan Family. Chapter 164 - Revenge

Chapter 164: Revenge

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yaner... A quiet voice suddenly called out. Mu Chenyan jumped and stood up in front of the gravestone. She nced in all four directions while her legs uncontrobly trembled. She managed to discern her brothers voice and the way he habitually called her Yaner. Brother, where are you? Mu Chenyan had yet to discover her brothers whereabouts although she had scanned her surroundings. She frantically shouted, Brother,e out. Im in front of our fathers gravestone. Her hoarse voice quivered. Mu Chenyan choked and descended into panic and helplessness as she was unable to see Mu Chenwu. Suddenly, a ck silhouette shed and emerged behind arge gravestone that was not far away. The imposing and dark figure quietly yelled at Mu Chenyan and said, Im here, Yaner! Mu Chenyan recognized that the man was really Mu Chenwu who had disappeared for more than a year. Mu Chenyan was so emotional that she rushed over and jumped into her brothers arms. She hugged Mu Chenwus waist and loudly wailed, Brother... Its been so long... Where did you go? Mu Chenwu was dressed in a ck woolen windbreaker and wore a peaked cap. His chin that was covered in fine stubble was faintly trembling while his profound features were still as handsome as before except that they seemed somewhat older. He tightly embraced his sister in his arms and choked while he softly murmured, Yaner! The fact that Im still alive to see you... is truly great... There was nothing else but tears when the siblings met. Their family was already broken up. Mu Chenyan could barely calm her emotions after crying for a while. However, she embraced her brother without loosening her grip as if she was afraid that he wouldpletely disappear again when she let go. Mu Chenwu hugged Mu Chenyan as well and pressed his chin against his sisters hair. He gently stroked her hair numerous times while his extremely hoarse voice said, Yaner, how have you been? Im sorry. I never went to see you for such a long time but left you there alone instead... Mu Chenyan cried harder upon hearing this. She nudged herself against her brothers chest as if she could not believe that this was real. People outside were already spreading rumors that Mu Chenwu was dead but Mu Chenyan had always needed to see either a living body or a corpse to believe whether someone was alive or dead. When she could finally see her brother today, she truly had nothing else but tears. Brother, dont say that! Yaner has never med you because its good enough that youre alive! Now that youve returned... Lets go to the hospital and get our mother... Lets go... As she spoke, she tugged at Mu Chenwus sleeve because she was really anxious to leave. Since her brother was back, Mu Chenyan realized that she would have a blood rtive from now on. Thus, she naturally did not have to stay with the Yuan Family any longer. Mu Chenwu was shocked. He paused in his tracks and dragged Mu Chenyan over before he quietly consoled his sisters emotions. Dont be hasty, Yaner! Its not safe for us to talk here. Are you sure that nobody from the Yuan Family followed you here just now? Mu Chenyans entire body trembled when she heard that. She fearfully nced all around before she shook her head and said, I brought Yuan Tian along and shes waiting for me at the entrance. I dont think anyone else followed us. As Mu Chenwu was not reassured, he vigntly surveyed and circled the area again before he dragged Chenyan and hid behind therge gravestone from just now. This row of gravestones was probably built by several rich and influential families because they were taller than a few other rows. Moreover, it was next to the road where there were severalrge trees as shade, making it much more concealed. Thus, Mu Chenwu had hidden there earlier to observe Mu Chenyan for a long time before he came out after he was certain that there was nothing suspicious. Mu Chenyan anxiously looked at her brother. When she saw his cautious manner, she inwardly understood that he had probably remained hidden earlier because people had definitely mistreated him before this. Yaner, I cant take you away yet and we cant get our mother either. Youve seen that the hospital is being secretly monitored so its impossible for us to get our mother from under Yuan Xuans grasp! Mu Chenwu was stating the truth. Previously, when he secretly sneaked into the hospital at night, he even hurt a young nurse who was on duty. Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Xuans intentions. As long as he had Yan Mei, she would not run away. However, no matter how overbearing he was, Yuan Xuan would not forcefully imprison her anymore now that she had her brother, right? Brother, why are you hiding? Why should we be afraid of Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyan was puzzled. Even if Yuan Xuan had retaliated against the Mu Family two years ago because of a misunderstanding with her, she had nothing to do with Shu Qingers death now. Why would they still need to be scared? Yaner, listen to me. You must stay with the Yuan Family because we need to seek revenge for our parents! Revenge? Mu Chenyan was slightly confused. Chapter 165 - You Want to Kill Yuan Xuan?

Chapter 165: You Want to Kill Yuan Xuan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Mu Chenyan loathed Yuan Xuan from the bottom of her heart because of the matters that involved the Mu Family, she realized that these were considered as normal as the ups and downs of the business world when she calmed down and carefully thought about it. Moreover, since Mu Feng had died in a car ident, what was the source of revenge? When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyan was puzzled, he used a furious tone and said, Yaner, our father died because of the Yuan Family! You were still young at that time so you dont understand many things! Mu Chenwu took a deep breath and attempted to organize his jumbled train of thoughts to allow Mu Chenyan to understand him easier. The Yuan Familys hundred-year-old estate and their exploits throughout the ages should have been ruined at the hands of Yuan Tangbai! If it wasnt for our father, the members of the Yuan Family would have descended into hell long ago. Id never imagined that they would bite the hand that fed them and destroyed the Mu Family! Mu Chenyan became confused when she heard this. She had instinctively sensed that there was some history between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family but Mu Chenyan became momentarily dazed when Yuan Tangbai was mentioned. She pulled Mu Chenwuspel and whispered, Brother, dont get riled up. Speak slowly and exin how this involves Yuan Tangbai... Mu Chenwus heart could not bear it anymore when he saw that Yaners face was filled with suspicion and fear. When she was persecuted and imprisoned that year, Yuan Xuan had already secretly started to take action against the Mu Family at the same time. He had no time to attend to her simply because he was preupied with Mu Feng. Now that she was standing before him unscathed today, he wanted to tell her to remain by the side of their enemy who killed their father so that they could avenge him. However, this was a cruel reality. Yaner, tell your brother now, do you still love Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenwu suddenly opened his mouth and said. He held Mu Chenyans shoulder before a hint of helplessness shed across his gloomy handsome eyes as he said, If you still love him, you dont have to take part in the revenge. You can just return as Mrs Yuan. However, if he kills me one day, please remember that we loved each other as siblings and help your brother bury his body, alright? When Mu Chenwu spoke with immeasurable sadness, Mu Chenyans skinny shoulders could not stop trembling. The feelings that she had calmed down with much difficulty now quivered again before she emotionally hugged Mu Chenwu and said, Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would you die? Mu Chenwu gritted his teeth and whispered, Yaner, if you still love Yuan Xuan, I can only do this to sacrifice myself for you. I wont drag you into this so you wont have to know about the things that happened in the past. Mu Chenyansplexion instantly turned much paler. Her eyes could not focus. Yuan Xuans unique handsome looks that depicted him in his prime appeared in one half of her mind. Meanwhile, her dead father and wounded mother who were part of the reality of her ruined family appeared in the other half of her mind... She truly had no way to resolve this issue. Brother, dont ask me that question. Whether I love him or not, what does that have to do with these things youre saying? Tell me, what actually happened between our father and the Yuan Family? On one hand, Mu Chenyan was submerged in the joy and excitement of seeing her brother but she was also starting to be entangled with the fact that she could not distance herself from Yuan Xuan because they had an inseparable rtionship. Moreover, she had be even more gloomy because her brother had recently said some cryptic things that were difficult to understand. Mu Chenwu could see Mu Chenyans conflict and pain. He hugged Chenyans shoulders and bitterly said, Yaner, if you still love him, just pretend that I didnt say anything. I came to see you just to bid farewell... The corners of Mu Chenwus eyes were red while his stern face actually hinted that he was determined to meet his end. His words had greatly affected Mu Chenyan. She was so frightened that she burst into shrieks before she exerted all her strength and hugged Mu Chenwus waist as if she was afraid that he would actually die. Her tears started flowing as if they were a string that had snapped but Mu Chenyan loudly wailed, No! Brother, dont scare me like this! I dont want you to die. You and I are the only two children left in the Mu Family so what will happen to me if you die? What will happen to our mother? Brother, dont force me to do this! I cant just act like a spectator if you really take revenge. Chapter 166 - Her Heart Suffered a Heavy Blow

Chapter 166: Her Heart Suffered a Heavy Blow

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans response made Mu Chenwu realized that he had scared her. He slowly controlled his emotions and calmed himself down. Mu Chenwu was seven years older than Yaner. Although he was not a good big brother while they were growing up, Yaner had always ced him in an important ce in her heart. Today, when Mu Chenyan heard that her brother was willing to die to get his revenge, she became confused. When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyans little face was about to cry, he held her in his arms and murmured, Im not going to die, but you must help your brother to get revenge for our father and save our mother because only then will our whole family be reunited again! Can you do that? Revenge? Mu Chenyan whispered. Perplexed, she helplessly said, You want to kill Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyans heart felt as though it was violently stabbed when she spoke. She was very scared when she thought of her brother dying but she simrly felt immense panic when she thought of Yuan Xuan dying. Kill him? Hmph! That would be too kind to the Yuan Family. I want the Yuan Family to suffer a fall from grace and be utterly ruined so that theypletely disappear from Luo Hai! Mu Chenwu gnashed his teeth as he spoke while a ruthless expression appeared on his face. Murderous rage rose from his bloodshot eyes as piercingly-cold chills emitted from his body. Even Mu Chenyan felt that her brother was frighteningly abnormal behaving like this. She was unaware of the truth but she inwardly understood the facts a little more now. When she previously allowed her imagination to run wild, she assumed that the rtionship between her father and the Yuan Family was definitely not as simple as that of two fellowrades. Brother, what exactly do you want to do? Mu Chenyan sobbed and asked. Yaner, did you know that Yuan Tangbai did not sacrifice himself in Xi Fan?! Then... How did Yuan Tangbai die? Mu Chenyan nkly stared at her brother. She became more confused while various assumptions shed in her mind. Mu Chenwu discovered many more things from Mu Feng inparison to Mu Chenyan who was still young. As he had followed Mu Feng everywhere since he was young, it was normal for Mu Feng to tell him many things. Moreover, Mu Feng previously did not dare to tell Mu Chenyan too many things because she was infatuated with Yuan Xuan. Yuan Tangbai used his special status to coborate with the rebels in Xi Fan. They banded together and he even sold weapons to Ze Da in Xi Fan! Mu Chenwu took a deep breath and lowered his voice when he spoke. He was so furious that he tightly clenched his fists. Mu Chenyan was stunned. She had never imagined that the national hero and the leader of the rebellion would be the same person... How... How could it be? What does this have to do with our father? He made an agreement with Ze Da but after this deal went on for over a year, Ze Da betrayed them because they did not evenly distribute the spoils. They ambushed Yuan Tangbai and his subordinates near a vige in Xi Fan. Yuan Tangbai was fatally shot because he failed to escape from the encirclement! Mu Chenyan inhaled a breath of cold air upon hearing this. She held her breath and listened as Mu Chenwu continued to speak. At that time, our father was his Adjutant who remained in the rear to settle some matters. Thus, he did not follow them to the vige but was ambushed in the end. As a Deputy General, he definitely had his own responsibilities as well. However, our father concealed the truth of this matter to safeguard the morale of the soldiers. Mu Chenwu sighed when he said this. If the real circumstances of this matter were revealed, Yuan Tangbai and the entire Yuan Familys reputation would reach rock-bottom. Moreover, it would also affect the safety of their whole family. When our father decided to help Yuan Tangbai conceal this, he alsomitted the same crime as him. Our father personally amended the information in Yuan Tangbais records and he even promoted him ording to the reports that he had was killed in action. Mu Chenyans entire body was seized by chills when she heard this. This matter had simply overturned everything she knew about the Yuan Family. Chapter 167 - This Was Her Final Ray of Hope For Yuan Xuan

Chapter 167: This Was Her Final Ray of Hope For Yuan Xuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Growing up, Mu Chenyan heard from her father that Yuan Tangbai was a national hero. He was also Mu Fengsrade who was like a brother to him because he was willing to risk his life for him. His intimate rtionship with the Yuan Family also allowed Mu Chenyan to freely walk into the Yuan Familyspound and pursue Yuan Xuan for over a decade... However, she was now forced to believe that the truth waspletely different and the situation was actually the opposite! The hero had previouslymunicated with the leader of the rebels in secret. Meanwhile, had the descendant of her fathers closerade bit the hand that fed him to conceal his fathers crimes? It was hard for Mu Chenyan to ept it for a moment. If this matter was ever exposed, the Yuan Family would not only be criminals in Luo Hai but in Country Z as well. Furthermore, the responsibility for these crimes would also involve the Mu Family. It was extremely difficult to handle these matters in the current Country Z. Our father and a few of his trusted subordinates were the only ones who knew the scope of his control in this matter. However, it was still not stable over at Ze Das area. They were stirring up trouble everywhere and creating chaos. Since he had no other choice, our father asked the Capital City for help and remained in Xi Fan to maintain the peace before you were born that year. Mu Chenyan knew that she was living in Xi Fan before she was 10 years old. Xi Fans vast sky and expansive territory had truly nurtured Mu Chenyans positive attitude that allowed her to continuously treat herself kindly when she encountered numerous unfair circumstances in the future. She could repeatedly forgive this cruel world... Brother, are you saying that everything our father did was to save the Yuan Family? Mu Chenyans voice trembled while her eyes were misty and blurred. A kind person like her could not understand this at all. Our fathermitted a capital offense for their sake but why did Yuan Xuan mistreat the Mu Family after that? This is the most despicable part of the Yuan Family! Mu Chenwu hit his fist against the gravestone while he spoke. His fist was tightly clenched but Mu Chenyan trembled with fear when she saw the worrying trails of blood. She tautly gripped her brothers hand and wiped it before she shed tears from being distressed. Brother, dont be like this. Yaner is scared... Mu Chenyan lost her previous indifference when she stood before her brother. She fully resembled a helpless little girl whose eyes were brimming with tears. She infinitely trusted and relied upon her brother. Yaner, there are too many things you dont know! From the start, our father had never imagined that he would receive such unfair treatment when he returned to Luo Hai. After our family returned from Xi Fan, he naively thought that the Yuan Family would remember his past favors so that they could peacefully coexist. Mu Chenwu bitterlyughed when he spoke. His father and him were so stupid that it was ridiculous. Mu Chenyan was also dumbfounded. For a very long time, she thought that Yuan Xuans treatment of the Mu Family stemmed from her being framed as Shu Qingers killer... The background of this matter apparently involved reasons that were moreplicated than the murder case... Mu Chenwu had called Mu Chenyan out to clearly exin the entire story to her. He continued, Yuan Tangzhong knew that our father possessed some evidence of the previous incidents and he was afraid that our father would back out and report him while involving the Yuan Family and affecting his career. Thus, Yuan Tangzhong had always been determined to draw our father over to his side ever since we returned to Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan only understood now why her father became close to Yuan Tangzhong after returning to Luo Hai despite always being by Yuan Tangbais side in the past. However, since Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Xuan did not get along, there were differences between their treatment of our father from the very beginning. Yuan Tangzhong used policies that would pacify him and he attempted to use this method to control our father. Of course, he stood a chance of profiting from this. He could only prosper and advance within his circles by using our fathers financial support. He used our father as his right-hand man. Conversely, Yuan Xuan was always a ruthless character who desired to get rid of our father all along and perpetually prevent future trouble. Mu Chenwu gnashed his teeth while speaking. He wished that he could skin Yuan Xuan alive. Chapter 168 - Aside From the Family Feud, There Was Also Hatred on Behalf of Her Home

Chapter 168:

Tranto

Aside From the Family Feud, There Was Also Hatred on Behalf of Her Home

r: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was probably no one who knew Yuan Xuans personality better than Mu Chenyan. There was a hint of stubbornness within his cold arrogance and he was extremely intelligent. When he firmly believed in something, he would not be easily swayed by the influences of the outside world. The people outside were all in awe of Luo Hais prince of the Yuan Family to a certain degree. Mu Chenyan had heard about this although she did not concern herself with Yuan Xuans work matters. Previously, there were several junior underlings from the aristocratic families that he managed who were jeopardizing public interests. They were either thrown into prison or exiled from Luo Hai. This temporarily became the talk of the town. The Old Masters from the aristocratic families who begged for leniency also suffered losses because of Yuan Xuan. Moreover, two of them were so furious that they ended up in the hospital. This shook Luo Hai but the elders of the various major ns were unable to voice their objections towards Yuan Xuan. When he went on holiday to Liu Li Vi, they took this opportunity to coborate and pay him a visit to get justice. They attempted to use Zhong Heng Internationals other stockholders to oppress Yuan Xuan into submission. On the second day, the stocks of the organizations that belonged to several aristocratic families who had led this ended up crashing all the way. Thus, no one dared to behave in a hasty manner anymore. In addition to the trivial things that happened in their daily lives, the trauma that Mu Chenyan previously experienced in prison caused her heart to never doubt Yuan Xuans ruthlessness. Moreover, the thing that Mu Feng was previously writing about was rted to Yuan Tangbais earth-shattering secret. Yuan Xuan had always treated his father as his role model and he respected every aspect of him. Situations like this allowed him to understand Yuan Tangbais ws. One could only imagine how much Yuan Xuan inwardly wanted to eliminate Mu Feng so that he could protect his own father. Brother, are you saying that although this was clearly Yuan Tangbais problem, Yuan Xuan still wanted to set a deathtrap for the Mu Family to conceal it from the beginning? Mu Chenyan looked at Mu Chenwu in a stupefied manner while her breathing became uneven. The existence of this reality was far moreplicated than her imagination. Aside from her resentment for him because of their family feud, she had never imagined that she should hate Yuan Xuan on behalf of her home as well. Silly girl, you dont even trust your own brother? Havent you seen what Yuan Xuan has done in the process of destroying the Mu Family? Mu Chenwu found it somewhat difficult to remain calm now. He trembled as he took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one after removing it before the smoke curled around. His emotions slowly subsided after he had smoked for a while before he continued speaking. Yuan Xuan suppressed the Mu n and framed our father as a firearms seller to me part of Yuan Tangbais crimes on him instead! He stopped the Mu Family from bailing you out when you were locked in prison for two years and he also put our mother under house arrest. Are you really unable to see how ruthless he is? Do you think that he married you to be kind to you? He was using you to make our father let his guard down! Our poor father really believed him. Mu Chenwus tone was somewhat solemn. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan weakly leaned against the gravestone while her gaze became utterly empty. She did not dare to continue imagining things ording to what her brother had said. If Yuan Xuan had hated the Mu Family from the very beginning, then did he love or hate her? Then why did he ask the Mu Family for her hand in marriage when he returned from Ennd? Was it really as her brother had said that marrying her was only a means for him to strike back against the Mu Family? If he had only been using her since the very beginning, did that mean that she had yed a part in her fathers death and the copse of the Mu Family? When he saw that Mu Chenyan was silent, Mu Chenwu continued, Your value as a pawn disappeared after he had gotten back at the Mu Family. He tossed you in prison after that and he only brought you back now because he knew that Ide looking for you. Im afraid that he only wanted to use you and capture our whole family in one go. The cold winds in the cemetery rose in all directions and blew up fallen leaves that scratched the ground and made tearing noises. Mu Chenyans entire body momentarily shivered. She helplessly lifted her head and nced at her fathers gravestone before he looked at Mu Chenwu and quietly murmured, Brother, was Yuan Xuan... Was he really that ruthless? I dont believe that he is as you say he is... All sorts of feelings welled up inside Mu Chenyans heart while she felt as though she was lying to others while consoling herself. She had loved this person for a decade but he had suddenly strayed from the light and transformed into a demon... Although the rtionship between her and Yuan Xuan did not resemble that of an average married couple ever since she returned, his attitude towards her had always been full of tenderness. Although she had experienced several trials, Mu Chenyan still felt that Yuan Xuan truly cared about her in his heart. Loving a person was like nurturing a habit. She was only puzzled today because she had gone too far when her feelings of love and hatred simultaneously urred. Amidst the mist and confusion, only the people who were aware of the truth would actually feel the pain. However, if she had really indirectly harmed her father, how would she live the rest of her life? A murderous air seeped through Mu Chenwus icy gaze. He sighed before he quietly said, Yaner, Im afraid that the Mu Family would have copsed much earlier if Yuan Tangzhong did not want to use us in the past. If Yuan Xuan had revealed his true intentions earlier, you would have clearly seen through him before that. You wouldnt have been infatuated with him for so many years then. Mu Chenwu had underestimated the attachments between his sister and Yuan Xuan. As this girl had persevered all along, it would certainly be difficult to make her believe Yuan Xuans true nature. She was extremely puzzled. Her emotions and logic were intensely struggling with each other as she said, Brother, when did Yuan Xuan... When did he actually start taking action against the Mu Family? Ever since you returned to the country! Mu Chenwu pondered before he said, Prior to this, Yuan Xuan was incapable of harming the Mu Family right before his uncles eyes because he had yet to reach his full potential. When he returned, this was naturally the first thing he would do. He asked the Mu Family for your hand in marriage and deluded his second uncle and our father as well. He collected some materials to counter the Mu Family and secretly suppressed the Mu Familys close and influential supporters so that our father would be thwarted everywhere in the business world! Yuan Tangzhong was not initially a kind person either. He was close to our father because he wanted to control him while simultaneously using him to do certain things that he could not do on his own. Those are things that you clearly dont know about. This made Yuan Xuan extremely unhappy. Later when the Mu Family was about to copse, even Yuan Tangzhong became afraid of Yuan Xuans means. He did not dare to openly confront Yuan Xuan. Thus, he agreed to eliminate our father when he stumbled upon this chance. Moreover, it was also a win-win situation for the Yuan Family because they could preserve the Yuan Familys reputation and secrets as well! Mu Chenwu sneered. His resentment towards Yuan Xuan could not be described with words anymore. His only wish was to eradicate the Mu Family from this earth! Brother, if this is true, why did Yuan Xuan save me from prison? Wouldnt it have been better for him to let me live and die on my own? Mu Chenyan was not trying to defend him. However, the current situation was moreplicated than she had imagined. Since this woman had already experienced too many things, she was no longer as naive as she was previously. Since she was not actually there to experience the event when it happened years ago, she had to repeatedly consider it although these words wereing out from her own brothers mouth. This was thest straw in her heart. It was also her final ray of hope for Yuan Xuan. Despite everything Ive said, are you still deluded by Yuan Xuan? You might as well think of the past when he was happy with Shu Qinger and even had a child with her. Why did he suddenly marry you? Mu Chenwu used his trump card. Mu Chenyan looked at Mu Chenwu in shock. She did not believe that the child was Yuan Xuans when other people said that, but now that her own brother had said it as well... Chapter 169 - Brother Threatens to Die Again

Chapter 169: Brother Threatens to Die Again

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenwus aggressive manner made it difficult for Mu Chenyan to stand her ground. Her mind became a chaotic mess and herplexion turned pale while she leaned against a gravestone. Sister, Yuan Xuan has never openly acknowledged that child before... Mu Chenwu knew from his sisters expression that this stupid girls heart was going to be filled with doubts regardless of what he said. She was struggling bitterly with him. He grit his teeth and yelled, I f*cking hate him so much! First, he caused my fathers death. Next, he selfishly imed you although his heart belongs to another woman! Moreover, you still refuse to believe the truth. If you dont believe me, you can just return to the Yuan Family as Mrs Yuan. Ive already prepared to fight Yuan Xuan to the death in several months time, so you just help me bury my corpse then! Mu Chenyan bitterly shook her head and wailed, Brother, dont say such things! Its not that I dont believe you, I just need some time to ept this. Yuan Xuan has been considerably nicer to me these few days, so its difficult for me to believe that he orchestrated everything... If Yuan Xuan did not love her and was merely using her to serve his own goals, how would he exin his concern and gentleness toward her during the days after she was released from prison? Would it not have been better to let her die in prison? Aside from luring her brother out of hiding, there didnt seem to be any other usible reasons for him to get her out. Silly girl, Shu Qingers death has already be reality. He got you out of prison and treated you nicely simply because hecked a bedmate! Mu Chenyan was shocked. She immediately began trembling as if she had just been sshed with cold water. Yuan Xuan had certainly mentioned the word bedmate before. Thats impossible... Mu Chenyan feebly countered. Little Yan, wake up! I told you earlier that Ill take revenge by myself if youre still in love with him. Youve also seen that Yuan Xuan is hunting me down from every direction so that he canpletely destroy me! Although Ive tried to hide everywhere, Ive never been able to shake off the people who are pursuing me. If it wasnt for Feng Rao who still cherished our old rtionship, I wouldnt even be able to see you today. Im afraid that even if my dead body turns up in the future, you wont believe that Mu Chenwu had been killed by the man you love... Mu Chenwu nced around when he spoke, his deste expression piercing Mu Chenyans sensitive heart. Little Yan, if I die, you should just forget that you were a child of the Mu Family so that you can happily live out the rest of your days with Yuan Xuan! No matter what I say, youre just a woman. Thus, Yuan Xuan will not consider your feelings, but he wouldnt hurt you either... Her brother had threatened to die again! Mu Chenyan suddenly calmed down. She wiped away her tears and stood up before she calmly looked at Mu Chenwu and softly replied, Brother, if you die, how can I survive on my own with our mother in tow? Mu Chenwu was speechless. He met Mu Chenyans gaze and whispered, Then you should just follow your brothers ns from now on, alright? Brother, what do you want me to do? Mu Chenyan realized that crying would not solve their problems, even if the things that her brother said were different from her own perspective. She might as well listen to her brothers n for now. When Mu Chenwu saw that Mu Chenyan was ready to listen, he quietly said, That year, our father brought some of the material back and hid them. We need to find a suitable time to reveal this matter! Mu Chenyan was clearly shocked. She met her brothers gaze and opened her mouth before replying, When is this time that youre talking about, brother? Since he already possessed this material, why didnt Father bring them out earlier when he was suppressed by the Yuan Family? Wecked manpower and were weak at that time while the Yuan Family who backed Yuan Xuan were unimaginably powerful. Moreover, since Yuan Xuan and the Capital Citys Shao Family were extremely close, even if we reveal the evidence, we may not live to see another day if the higher-uppers decide to get rid of us first! Mu Chenwu scoffed bitterly. Chapter 170 - I Want the Members of the Yuan Family to be Completely Ruined

Chapter 170: I Want the Members of the Yuan Family to be Completely Ruined

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenwus worries were not unwarranted. Brother, what do you mean by the best timing? Mu Chenyan suddenly sensed that Mu Chenwu hade prepared. Even though she could not change the past, she still felt that she needed to be able to control her future. Ive already called some external forces. They were all Yuan Tangbais enemies in the past. Once these forces be slightly stronger, you and I must cooperate to coordinate the internal and external offenses! Mu Chenwu quietly said, When that timees, I want the members of the Yuan Family to bepletely ruined! ... Mu Chenwu secretly left while Mu Chenyan stood before Mu Fengs gravestone and braved the cold wind for a while to clear her head and calm herself down. She still needed to return to the Yuan Family after this. Moreover, she was returning with a task now. ... When she saw Mu Chenyan walking out of the cemetery, Yuan Tian drove the car in front of her before she noticed that this girl had cried until her eyes were swollen. Yuan Tian knew better than to speak unnecessarily. After all, no matter how they looked at it, the Yuan Family was responsible for Mu Fengs death. She had a veryplicated rtionship with Mu Chenyan. In terms of their friendship, they were inseparable best friends while ethically, they were sisters-inw. Logically, however, there was a family feud between their two households... Although Big Tian was a bold person, she was aware of how much Mu Chenyans heart ached right now. Luo Hais warm and humid year-end weather caused the numerous fauna to once again return to their lush and green state. As the car drove along the dim and lengthy trail between the forest, the motley shadows of the trees covered Mu Chenyans face such that it was only asionally illuminated by the cracks in the forest canopy. Mu Chenyan leaned her head against the car window and remained silent throughout the ride. Yuan Tian likewise did not utter a word when she saw her in this state. This was the first time where the two women had been together but were not noisily chatting. Mu Chenyans head was filled with her brothers words. She felt gloomy as she thought about them. If she chose to help her brother, it meant that she would need to think of a way to lead Yuan Xuan down the path of his own destruction. Moreover, she would also need to force the entire Yuan Family down that deadly path as well... Conversely, choosing Yuan Xuan was equivalent to being indifferent toward her fathers death and the destruction of the Mu Family. Knowing her brother, Mu Chenwu would fight the Yuan Family to the death. If Mu Chenwu ended up dying as well, nothing would remain of her Mu Family anymore... Her mind was extremely muddled, but inwardly, she told herself to calm down. She would not be swayed by her emotions at this time. ... The car drove into the garage of the Yuan Familys mansion. Yuan Tian turned off the engine and tugged at Mu Chenyan who was still lost in her thoughts before getting her out of the car. She sympathetically consoled her, Chenyan, I know that your heart is filled with sorrow. I wasnt in Luo Hai at the time when these things happened so I dont have the right to state my opinion, but since things have already turned out like this, you shouldnt beat yourself up over it any longer! Mu Chenyan half-heartedly nodded. She had been juggling exhaustion alongside these thoughts the whole time. Her mind could not hold anything else now as she merely wanted to rest for a while. The Yuan Familys estate was huge, but several residences shared one garage. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian held hands while they walked out of the garage. They had not walked far before they heard the muffled noises of a man and a woman arguing under the shadows of the trees in the garden. Tell me, did you go to Hibiscus Garden andy your hands on Chenyan... Mind your own f*cking business! Do you think theres anything you can do about me fooling around with other women? Dirty sl*t, you were impure when you married me yet you still n on controlling me? As the man spoke, he unexpectedly raised his palm and pped the women, causing her to shriek! Yuan Zhe, you... Youre really worse than a beast... Mu Chenyan is your younger brothers wife but you still lusted after her despite that... Normally, I wouldnt care about the number of women you were fooling around with, but now youve actually brought Yuan Xuans attention upon yourself. Yuan Xuan had previously interrogated all of the maids in Peace Mansion! He has already swapped out several maids as arranged by his trusted subordinates. If he discovers anything that he can use against you, youre dead meat! Dont go out and stir up trouble for the next few days, alright? Wen Yas restrained sobs caused others to feel sorry for her when they heard her. It seemed like this woman still worried about her husband despite the way he had mistreated her. Yuan Tian looked at Mu Chenyan in shock. She knew that her brother and Mu Chenyan had previously argued, but she did not know the reason behind it. She suppressed the burning rage in her heart. Her cousin was truly shameful. He was a yboy, but did he have to fool around with the women in his own household as well? When Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Tians expression abruptly change, she hurriedly pulled Yuan Tian over and hid behind a thickrge tree. She lowered her voice and reassured her, I would have mercilessly beaten him up before he could get his way! Chapter 171 - Hes Really Such a Freaking Embarrassment to the Yuan Family

Chapter 171: Hes Really Such a Freaking Embarrassment to the Yuan Family

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian let out a drawn-out sigh while she and Mu Chenyan continued watching Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya who were not too far away. On the outside, Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya treated each other with mutual respect like a husband and wife who viewed each other as equal. Hence, even Yuan Tian could not believe that he treated Wen Ya like this in private. Previously, Mu Chenyan wouldnt dare to believe this either. However, after Yuan Zhe had previously gone to Hibiscus Garden and assaulted her while saying those extremely vulgar things, Mu Chenyan saw the true nature of this married couple. The affection that they normally disyed was a mere disy put on for others to see. Wen Ya was still quietly sobbing when Yuan Zhe pushed her to the ground. The high-quality fabric of her officewear and skirt set was immediately stained with dirt. From the looks of it, they had probably returned from somewhere too. This sh urred after they had parked the car but had yet to return to Peace Mansion. Yuan Zhe impatiently paced across the same spot. He ignored his wife who was on the ground because he felt that Wen Ya was deliberately provoking him. He scolded her in a loud voice, I told you that I wont be afraid of Yuan Xuan even if he stood before me. If hes brave enough, he shoulde and look for me so I can tell him how I slept with his wife! Ill tell him how wildly his wife acted while she was under my body... Mu Chenyan briefly sneered when she heard this. She felt like throwing up when she recalled how extremely awkward he had previously looked. Yuan Tian, on the other hand, was mortified. When she sneaked a nce at Mu Chenyan and noticed that her expression was still indifferent, Yuan Tian quietly sighed and said, Hes really such a freaking embarrassment to the Yuan Family! When Wen Ya heard Yuan Zhe speaking in a reckless and brash manner, her heart burned with rage. She got up from the ground and rushed towards Yuan Zhe before cursing, How could you say something like that? Even if youre not afraid of Yuan Xuan, arent you going to take my feelings into consideration at all? How am I going to face Mu Chenyan from now on? Yuan Zhe looked vexed when he saw how livid his woman was. His imposing stature worked to his advantage as he lifted his leg and kicked Wen Ya in the stomach before she could get close to him. The pitiful woman staggered backward for an instant before she fell on the floor. Wen Ya covered her stomach and panted heavily as traces of blood quickly trickled down the corners of her mouth. Why are you fussing about Mu Chenyan when Ive fooled around with so many other women? Yuan Zhe sneered before he suddenly bent down and grabbed Wen Ya by the cor. He grimaced before his tone became cold as he said, If Yuan Xuan feels wronged, Im willing to send you to his bed so that he can enjoy you. I feel like this is everything you could only wish for. After all, I havent touched you for such a long time that youre secretly longing for this, right? Mu Chenyan nced coldly at Yuan Zhe and his wife before a mocking smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. Although the Yuan Family was an aristocratic family with a hundred-year background, Yuan Zhe was still considered a peculiar individual among the younger generation. Wen Ya panted and grasped Yuan Zhes hands. Her big beautiful eyes stared at Yuan Zhe before she suddenly sneered and said, Hmph! Yuan Zhe, you can just keep bullying me because I can take it! Do you think that Im unaware of how much you actually fear Yuan Xuan? Your heart is filled with jealousy toward Yuan Xuan, yet you assume that everyone is an idiot. I actually feelforted after you said those things. You didnt get to sleep with Mu Chenyan, right? Yuan Zhe felt humiliated after being seen through. Rage exploded in his dark eyes as he fiercely looked at Wen Ya and ruthlessly said, You dont have to take pleasure in my misery because the day of Yuan Xuans death has almost arrived! Mu Chenwu has returned and theres no way he will forgive Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyans head swirled with countless questions after she heard this. She had only found out today that her brother was still alive, so how was Yuan Zhe able to learn of this news so quickly? The entire matter was extremely confusing. It didnt feel like anything was amiss when she kept to herself, but it now appeared that all the members of the Yuan Family were devilishly sly. Yuan Zhe shook off Wen Ya and took long strides to leave. Wen Ya weakly crawled up from the ground. Her delicate skin was covered in scratches and traces of blood were seeping through her stockings. It was a ghastly sight. It seemed as though she was already used to this. She took some tissue paper out of her bag and wiped her hands before also wiping the distinct bloody marks off her silk stockings. After that, she limped after Yuan Zhe.

Chapter 172: A Flower Stuck in Dog Poop

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Yuan Tian was sure that Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe had walked far away, she and Mu Chenyan walked out from behind the tree. Yuan Tian immediately began to curse, Hes my older brother but why are they so different? Ive known for a long time that my eldest brother was up to no good! However, Id never expected him to be this bad. Yuan Tians anger was understandable. Anyone else would have cherished a woman like Wen Ya, but Yuan Zhe treated her like a pair of worn-out shoes that he wanted to throw away. Moreover, she had even been domestically abused by him. Since Mu Chenyan had known about Yuan Zhe for a long time now, her reaction was not as intense as Yuan Tians. Her cold gaze nced in the direction of Peace Mansion before she whispered, There are too many monsters in that Yuan Family of yours... Yuan Tian had yet to understand what Mu Chenyan meant and assumed that she was just still mad at Yuan Xuan. Thus, she consoled her, saying, Chenyan, youve seen what a freaking scumbag this man truly is! Although Yuan Xuan has a proud personality and is somewhat overbearing, at least he still holds you in his heart, right? Look at my eldest brother. How could he possibly be a suitable partner for our eldest sister-inw? It seemed as though Yuan Tian could not hide her anger as she stared in the direction of Peace Mansion. Mu Chenyans mood had also be gloomy because of Wen Yas predicament. She had previously turned down Yuan Xuan when he offered to track down the people who bullied her because she was thinking of Wen Ya. If this matter was exposed, no one would suffer as much as that pitiful woman. It was exactly as she had said it. No matter how much Yuan Zhe fooled around, she could always turn him a blind eye. However, when he messed around with someone in his own household, she would surely learn of it sooner orter. How would she be able to face everyone else then? Tian Tian, our sister-inw Wen Ya has been married for four years already, right? Mu Chenyan suddenly asked. Yuan Tian hesitated before she nodded and replied, Thats about right. You had yet to graduate at the time, and were still overseas. Shed even told me that it was very unfortunate that you were one of her best friends but there was no way for you to attend her wedding. Mu Chenyans sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly while a confused look shed across her eyes. She and Wen Ya had certainly been closer at the time. However, all of the changes began after Wen Ya returned from abroad. She gradually severed allmunications between them, and when it was rumored that the Wen Familys business was in the midst of a crisis, Wen Ya was so busy that she became confused and disorientated. Mu Chenyan could understand her actions and did not me her for this. However, Wen Ya had not informed her when she got married after that. She only discovered after she had returned from overseas that Wen Yas husband was apparently Yuan Zhe. There had been a year-long gap between Yuan Xuans initial proposal and the date of the actual wedding. Mu Chenyan was only 21 years old at that time, but she handled everything on her own. Since there was no one whom she could consult, she tried to contact Wen Ya numerous times to get her advice. However, Wen Ya was intentionally avoiding her. Tian Tian, why did Wen Ya suddenly marry Yuan Zhe? Mu Chenyan remembered that Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe had previously not spent much time together. Moreover, Wen Ya was her equal in terms of her good looks, talent, and temperament. During those years, many people hadpared her to Wen Ya and said that the title of the number one socialite was firmly shared between the two of them. However, neither she, nor Wen Ya, werepetitive individuals. Hence, they were unconcerned about their little petition. Im not too sure about the entire situation, but I heard my father and mother secretly discussing that it seemed like our sister-inw was pregnant. Meanwhile, Old Mistress thought that since this involved the descendants of the second son and that the men of the Yuan Family also have to bear the consequences of their actions, she proposed that my eldest brother marry our sister-inw Wen Ya into the family. When Yuan Tian thought about it, she realized that it would have been better if Wen Ya had not married Yuan Zhe. Once a woman hadmitted herself to the wrong man, the remained of her life would be ruined. She thought of Wen Ya, a woman who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood in her own home, only to suffer such cruel abuse after being married into the Yuan Family. Theyre truly a real life example of the saying a beautiful woman who married an ipetent husband is like a flower stuck in dog poop. Yuan Tian continued to grumble but the words that she blurted out had amused Mu Chenyan. People usually say cow dung. Why must you always try to differentiate yourself from everyone else? Chapter 174 - I Had Truly Loved You in the Past...

Chapter 174: I Had Truly Loved You in the Past...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zhong Heng International When Yuan Xuan returned to his office after the general shareholders meeting was over, his plump secretary served him atte that was made just the way he liked it. The aroma of coffee quickly spread throughout the spacious office. It was almost 5.00pm. The light from the setting sun cast a golden glow over the CEOs office while captivating golden light reflected off the body of the man who sat snuggly in the leather chair. The elegant aristocratic man rested his forehead on his arms as he fell deep into thought. His facial features were profound and angr. Moreover, their distinct edges made him extraordinarily handsome inparison to the average person. However, there was a hint of mncholy infused in his arrogant aura... The cufflinks attached at the sleeves of his white shirts were custom-made by the jewelry designer Pa Crevoshay who was contracted by the Swiss Bernina brand from Switzend. The gentle glow of the setting sun caused them to twinkle faintly. When Yan Jun came in to report to him, he noticed that Yuan Xuans expression was grave while his eyes were dim. It seemed as though he was battling with his own thoughts, while there was a sense of loneliness in the silence. Yan Jun was momentarily unsure as to whether he should speak or not. Has Mistress returned to Hibiscus Garden? Yuan Xuan was the first to open his mouth. His voice was slightly hoarse as he had clearly smoked too much due to stress. Yes, Fifth Miss sent her back. Mistress was at Hibiscus Garden since then and did not go out. Yan Juns face showed signs of hesitation before he asked in a puzzled manner, Young Master, why arent we going to capture Mu Chenwu when weve been given such a good chance? He slyly escaped thest few times but our personnel were in position today. He cant flee even if he grows wings! Yuan Xuans eyes shot open. His gaze was piercing and vicious as he said, Although its important to capture Mu Chenwu, this cant be done in front of Mu Chenyan. Do you really want her to hate me for the rest of her life? Yan Jun turned silent and lowered his head. He thought to himself about how Mistress was deeply embedded in Third Masters heart. Although Young Master had single-handedly undertaken such a great task several years ago, it still pained him when he had to be cruel toward his wife. Continue sending people to track Mu Chenwus. You must report to me right away if he makes any sudden movements, but you shouldnt alert Mistress! Yuan Xuan lowered his voice and instructed. Yan Jun nodded. Although this loyal assistant had not been by Yuan Xuans side for very long, he was still aware of Yuan Xuans temperment and nature. Since he had decided to personally take on this task, he would persevere until the end without retreating. Young Master, arent you afraid that Mu Chenwu might secretly try to trick Mistress? Yan Jun was still slightly nervous and asked. However, his worries were not unreasonable. After all, Mistress had sneakily visited Mu Chenwu before quietly returning to Hibiscus Garden. It was difficult to be sure of what she was thinking. Yuan Xuan took a deep breath and rose before going over to the wide French window. He stood there and looked at the setting sun outside, allowing the radiance to mark his body while unintentionally disying a rare moment of loneliness. If she chooses familial love over romantic love, Ill be respectful of her wishes. . ..When Mu Chenyan was soundly asleep, a man who faintly smelled of alcohol suddenly sped her waist from behind. After they touched, the tinglesy on the surface of her skin because of the chilly air immediately prated her right to the core. Mu Chenyan opened her eyes as the mans chin pressed itself against her head. He had drank alcohol, but was only tipsy right now. Warm air blew across her corbone, causing her body to turn into a limp mess. Mu Chenyan did not dare to move at all. She used her elbow to gently nudge the man who was stered against her before she whispered, Did you drink alcohol? Do you want to take a shower first? Yeah, I just drank a little. You were already asleep when I came in just now and Ive already taken a shower. Yuan Xuans voice was slightly weary and hoarse. Mu Chenyan initially wanted to decline him, but she did not have the energy to push him away. She had a yearning and a fondness for his hugs that had always been so warm... The man who was still sober then flipped her body over and firmly embraced her as the desires that he had suppressed for so long finally emerged. He quietly asked, Little Chenyan, may I? They had not done it in a long time. Mu Chenyan was momentarily startled. The conflicting emotions in her heart made her unable to respond. She could not immediately pretend as if nothing was wrong and be affectionate with him after what she had heard from Mu Chenwu during the day. Her eyes were glistening as she looked at his quivering Adams apple for awhile where his faint groans echoed out. The aromatic smell of alcohol that was faintly released from his mouth gradually threw her into confusion. Yuan Xuan had always been a very restrained person. Aside from the previous unhappy incident, he had never seriously troubled her because of this matter. Mu Chenyan turned her head away and pressed her face against his chest while she used her silence to reject him. Its okay! If you dont want to, I wont force you... When he saw that she did not respond for a long time, Yuan Xuan gently kissed her forehead before he continued, Little Chenyan, Ill be ready whenever you feel like it. Yuan Xuan... Mu Chenyans eyes were blurry because of the tears. She choked back sobs before she quietly said, What if I really betray you one day... Id forgive you! Yuan Xuan interrupted her and affectionately said. After all, I should be the one begging for forgiveness because Ive made you suffer worse things. She was stunned. Was this man, who was usually cold and quiet, now exposing more of his sensitive side because of the alcohol? He spoke in an affectionate tone that sounded like a promise, his dark pupils seemed infinitely deep, while his slender almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared at her beautiful little face while restraining his emotions. Her long eyshes trembled as though they were brushing against his innermost feelings. When she heard Yuan Xuan say these things, Mu Chenyan felt as though she was choking. With much difficulty, she swallowed her saliva and shut her eyes to hold back the tears that were threatening to trickle down. Yuan Xuan, you... Have you ever loved me? Her voice was heavy and full of worry. It seemed as though Mu Chenyan had used all of her strength to ask this question that she kept contained in her heart for many years. Now, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out. If she had not been lying down, she might have fainted. Although there woulde a day when she would have a fatal encounter with Yuan Xuan in which one of them would die, she wanted to make a deal with him while she still had her youth. Yuan Xuans bright almond-shaped eyes stared at her thick ck eyshes before the corners of his mouth curled up in a faint smile. Silly girl, why would you suddenly ask that? What do you think? He did not directly answer her question. Mu Chenyan felt that she was not brave enough to continue chasing for an answer and thus dropped the issue. She continued to shut her eyes and took a deep breath before she pressed her head against his chest again. She used a lot of strength as she stered herself there, as though she really wanted to melt into his body. Her beating heart almost burst out of her chest. The pain that was seeping into her very bones made her feel like dying every time she breathed. After some time, she felt as if his heart that was madly beating within his burning chest was calling out to her. Although Yuan Xuan waspletely silent, his body was quietly asking her if she still loved him. She clearly knew that her actions were wrong but it was difficult for her to deceive herself. She had previously loved him. Hence, why did the warmth that she had always longed for suddenly disappear after she had discovered the truth today? If she could, Mu Chenyan would have rather not fallen in love. She would not have to feel so much pain if that was the case. Moreover, she would not have to suffer the stab to the heart in the event that she finally confront him one day. Mu Chenyan murmured, I truly loved you in the past... Yuan Xuans body trembled when he heard her use the phrase in the past... For unknown reasons, his heart was suddenly ravaged with fear of losing her. The self-centered man who had always controlled the fate of others was seized by a ridiculous sense of anxiety. Youll love me again in the future! He dered in a bossy tone. When he spoke, the man waved hisrge hands and hugged Mu Chenyan tighter. He exerted so much force that the woman in his arms felt as though she was going to suffocate. Mu Chenyan quietly huffed and weakly attempted to resist him. However, eventually she had no choice but to reluctantly ept his hugs that were too tight. Hence, she could only obediently allow him to do as he pleased. Fourteen years ago, she had determined the course of life after she met him. This had never changed, because she had always longed for his warm embrace all this while. She could not understand why fate was so cruel to test her on the same day that she receive this long-desired embrace. The two people hugged each other tightly in that manner as Mu Chenyan continued to ster herself against his chest. Despite the burning heat, she slept more soundly than usual.

Chapter 175: What Happened to the Fight with the Wolf in Sheeps Clothing?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As the Spring Festival was drawing near, the Yuan Familys entire estate was decorated withnterns from top to bottom such that it was fully immersed in the festivities. Yuan Xuan was exceptionally meticulous about the setting up, because this was the first Spring Festival after Mu Chenyan had married into the Yuan Family. Hepleted the tasks in his office two days in advance so that he could personally instruct the maids in the Yuan Family Mansion to beautify Hisbiscus Garden and Upper Mansion. Once the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar passed, Yuan Tangbais old subordinates, friends, and previous supporters all came to pay him a visit. Some of these people were high-ranking military officials, while others were climbing through the business world. Still, some of them had already retired and were merely wandering for the rest of their days. Nheless, they were all important figures, regardless of their circle, and usually did not reveal the important aspects of themselves. Now that the situation had reached its tipping point, one could see the powerful supporting organizations behind Yuan Xuan. It was impossible for anyone else to stand in for him during extremely extravagant events like this. Thus, Yuan Xuan had to personally appear and greet them, as he was Yuan Tangbais only descendant. Yuan Xuan sent presents in return to thank each and every one of the various corporations, aristocratic families, and military organizations who sent congrattory gifts to Old Mistress. The social and financial influence of this hundred-year-old aristocratic familys was on full disy at this time. When Mu Chenyan saw this, she slowly understood why her father chose not to be involved in the life and death struggle with the Yuan Family during his final moments that year. It was just as Mu Chenwu had said. These delicateworks could be brought down at the slightest misstep. Thus, there was the probability that they would be killed by an unknown individual before their information could even reach Capital City. People from various ces came to congratte them but Mu Chenyan who was supposed to apany her husband had requested for leave. Firstly, she did not want to meet the guests because the bacsh from Shu Qingers long-standing court case still persisted until now. Secondly, Mu Chenyan knew that Old Mistress would get annoyed when she saw her. Thus, her absence at Upper Mansion seemed to coincidentally align with Old Mistress wishes. While Yuan Xuan was receiving guests at Upper Mansion, Old Mistress had Zhao Ruoxin apany her. Since Mu Chenyan was absent, she had an opportunity to pair her adoptive daughter with Yuan Xuan. This delighted Ruoxin because she had repeatedly appeared near Hibiscus Garden, as though she was looking for a chance to unt herself in front of Mu Chenyan. In Zhao Ruoxins mind, she was the one who always showed up and apanied Yuan Xuan to receive guests and greet them while Mu Chenyan was hiding far away. This had already proven that the Yuan Family had seemingly acknowledged her existence in front of outsiders. Although Yuan Xuan kept his distance from her and only remained polite, this did not deter her self-satisfied state from manifesting. On the other hand, Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with Zhao Ruoxin because she had something else on her mind. Thus, she simply avoided Zhao Ruoxin as much as possible. The more Mu Chenyan did this, the more victorious Zhao Ruoxin felt. She thought that Mu Chenyan was actively avoiding her because she was afraid. Thus, this woman became more arrogant and even more attentive toward Yuan Xuan, both publicly and in private. Mu Chenyan, werent you supposed to fight that wolf in sheeps clothing? Yuan Tian appeared to be more aggresive than Mu Chenyan. Ever since Mu Chenyans return, the Hibiscus Garden that had once been a restricted area had now turned into Yuan Tians yground. She would repeatedly ce her feet on the table and eat the various cakes that Ah Fu had personally made. Yuan Tian really became dizzy with happiness. Why would I need to fight that sly fox? Mu Chenyan was unconcerned. After all, Im admitting that she concerns me if I consider her as my rival. Why do I need fight with Zhao Ruoxin? Yuan Tian clearly could not fullyprehend Mu Chenyans reasoning. Zhao Ruoxin shouldnt be called Ruoxin anymore because a more suitable name for her would be More Sin (TN: Tried to trante the pun on Ruoxins name that was rted to a Chinese idiom.) How many tranquilizers has Yuan Xuan fed you to make you so unconcerned about this? Yuan Tian pinched Mu Chenyans face before she continued, Are you still asleep? Mu Chenyanughed and said, Zhao Ruoxin and I are merely pitiful souls living under other peoples roofs. She used her sisters name to live with the Yuan Family, but shes still not Shu Qinger. Thus, why should I be envious of a liar like Ruoxin when the one whom Yuan Xuan liked when he was younger was actually Qinger? Yuan Tian was speechless. If Yuan Xuan was such a fickle person, it would have been impossible for him not to have a woman by his side during those two years. Mu Chenyans eyes lit up right after she finished speaking. Was she unconsciously trusting Yuan Xuan during a time like this? If that was the case, then why did she refuse to give him the benefit of doubt during the long-standing court case that year? Chapter 176 - I Hope That I Can Still Embrace You Like This in Another 15 Years

Chapter 176: I Hope That I Can Still Embrace You Like This in Another 15 Years

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Since Yuan Tian did not know what to do with the virtuous Little Chenyan, she quietly said, Listen to Old Mistress advice and bring Zhao Yanni home so she can celebrate the Spring Festival. That way, mother and daughter can be together... Mu Chenyan was emotionless. Her innermost being that had been lonely for so many days finally felt touched. She thought of her own mother who was quietly lying on the hospital bed... ... After dinner, Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan hiding in the small tea room all alone. She hugged the electric heater to warm herself up because there were no heaters installed in the room. As she huddled up to the warmth, the graceful womans body became limp and weary. Her half-closed eyes seemed extremely hazy. Steam rose from the ck tea that she had recently made and ced on the small tea table beside her. Amidst the curling fog, the fresh scent of tea tickled ones nose before infecting ones body. When Yuan Xuan looked at the woman from the outside of the tea room, he felt like her gentle and sluggish appearance gave off a calmness that couldst an eternity. When Mu Chenyan noticed that Yuan Xuan was peeking, or rather, openly looking at her, she crawled up from the tatami mat. Her eyes were still heavy as she quietly said, This ce is too warm. I cant help but feel like sleeping. Yuan Xuan saw that she resembled a sleepy roon when she pouted her little mouth and used the back of her hands to rub her eyes. She could not hide her weariness. She resembled the youngdy of the past who had originally lingered in this tea room and used her tender womanly scent to disturb him. His heart instantly warmed up before he bent down and picked her up. His hoarse, raspy voice said, Go upstairs and sleep properly if youre tired. I can walk on my own... She quietly resisted when he treated her like a child. However, she soon stered her head against his chest like a puppy. When Yuan Xuan saw that she was acting like a spoiled child because she was sleepy, waves of heat stirred in his lower abdomen. Ill have to supervise you next time so that youll eat more. Youre so skinny that its almost as if your chest has lost two pieces of flesh. Yuan Xuan said in a deep voice as he lifted her overly skinny body. When his gaze drifted toward her chest, the monster in his body began to mor. However, he remained calm so as to prevent her from discovering his innermost secret. That way, she would not ridicule him to the point where he could not progress further. Are you going to feed me as if I were a pig? Ive already eaten a lot! Mu Chenyan was very unhappy when he mentioned those two pieces of flesh. Although she did not care whether others considered her an ideal sex goddess, any woman would still be bothered if somebodymented on her t chest. This was a form of humiliation. She lifted her loose pajama top and lowered her head to look inside before she muttered, Are mine very small? Yuan Xuan didnt know whether tough or cry when he saw how serious she looked. When he saw the seductive sight of her pulling her shirt down, he unconsciously gulped as the waves of heat in his stomach became more intense. Yours arent small! They can be cupped in one hand so theyre just right! Yuan Xuan raspy voice shocked Mu Chenyan. She caught sight of his angr lower jaw and seductive Adams apple when she raised her head. Since she had experienced this many times, she knew what this indicated... Yuan Xuan shoved Mu Chenyan under the covers when they reached the bedroom. She immediately burrowed her head under the nket because she did not dare to look at him when his breathing was uneven. Her body was sorge that she could feel the bed sink as the mans warm body quickly approached her. Do you want to get Mother from the hospital so that you can celebrate the new year together? Yuan Xuan restrained his lust and suddenly asked in a quiet voice. Mu Chenyans body stiffened up. She had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would bring this up. She assumed that Yuan Xuan would go straight to the action. Thus, she had never imagined that he would see through her worries and bring up the topic instead. Unlike nts, humans were strongly influenced by emotion. Hence, she was touched by Yuan Xuans tone. Aside from the surprise, her heart was faintly and unusually moved. Yuan Xuan was probably trying to be more considerate of Mu Chenyans feelings after he discovered that Zhao Yanni was going to visit the Yuan Family. On the other hand, Yuan Xuan hadpleted his duties toward his mother-inw Yan Mei with all his heart. A terrible ident urred at the time. Mu Feng died on the spot while Yan Mei was left barely breathing and was sent to the hospital. Yuan Xuan hurriedly rushed to the hospital when he received the news andmanded that they do everything to save her. Yan Meis life was only saved because several elites from the third son of the Yuan Familys military hospital and famous surgeons from Luo Hais biggest private hospital were recruited to participate in the emergency treatment. As of today, he had smoothly and naturally referred to Yan Mei as his mother. This was definitely a first. He had not called anyone mother for over two decades. Chapter 177 - Little Chenyan, May I?

Chapter 177: Little Chenyan, May I?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans heart warmed up but what came from her mouth was rejection. Its fine, shes doing pretty well in the hospital anyway. Moreover, she wont necessarily be willing toe and visit the Yuan Family... Mu Chenyan recalled how her mother had drastically changed ever since her return. The doctor said thata patients still possessed a subconscious minds. Her daughters return had stimted her will to live. Thus, Yan Meis condition had surpassed the doctors expectations. If her mothers subconscious was still alive, how could she ept the fact that her daughter was mingling with the Yuan Family who had caused the destruction of her own household? Mu Chenyan kept these thoughts to herself because she could not say them in front of Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan could only give up after he heard Mu Chenyan say this. He embraced her against his chest and pressed his chin against her forehead before saying, Chenyan, after the Spring Festival, wed have known each other for 15 years. Do you still remember that the first time you saw me in Luo Hai? When at 10 years old you returned from the Spring Festival... It was rare for Yuan Xuan to be so sentimental as to reminisce the past. Mu Chenyan had always assumed that she was the only one who fondly recalled the past... When she remained silent, Yuan Xuan assumed that she was still listening, and thus continued, We cannot relive our memories, but our futures are uncertain. I hope that I can still embrace you like this for another 15 years... He then covered her lips with hisrge warm hands. The rough touch of his fingertips made her shudder. This feeling that was a mix between a tender caress and a form of torture that caused her to lose herself. Despite knowing her for 15 years, he still remembered the blurry details of their past. Mu Chenyan suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, before she gently pressed her sweet lips against his stubble-covered chin... Yuan Xuan was shocked by her actions. She was just about to pull back before the man flipped over and pressed her tightly underneath him. Huh... Her eyes suddenly shot open. She had initially nned to stop after the kiss, not at all expecting this moment of passion. Go... Go to sleep... You still have to meet some guests tomorrow... Her gaze was extremely rmed while she pressed her little hands against his chest and rubbed it. Her gentle voice had lost its previous distance and coldness, making her seem like a warm young wife... Little Chenyan, do you know that its wrong to run away after igniting the mes of passion? His voice was hoarse and his tone was steady. However, his gaze was dangerous, with the mes that danced in his pupils threatening to burn her... Mu Chenyan knew that it would be impossible for her to evade him tonight. Mu Chenyan turned her face away. Her cheeks immediately turned scarlet, her big sparkling eyes became watery, and her breathing became uneven. The sensitive nature of their interaction had reached a stage that had her body confused, thus, her breathing was uneven. His gaze was piercing, indicating to her that a long-drawn contest between their emotions was about to begin. Their staring conteststed for a minute before the mans powerful voice rang out, Little Chenyan, may I? Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded. He asked the magic question. He had not touched her for a long time after the incident when he violently assaulted her. Obviously, the time he failed did not count. He had restrained himself and patiently resisted the temptation until now. Whenever he truly desired it, he would first ask her, Little Chenyan, may I? The body gave the most honest response that reflected the soul. She could never condition herself to be without any desire. The love which had been deeply embedded in her heart for so many years caused her to long for him just as much as he longed for her. Although this state caused her to experience unrelenting pain, it was a part of her very being, and was impossible for her to free herself from it. Her fingertips gently brushed across the distinct veins bulging on muscles before they finally stopped above his manhood. The vixens eyes narrowed slightly as her quivering voice gently asked, What do you think? She had learned to indirectly answer him. Chapter 178 - She Could Neither Resent Nor Love Him

Chapter 178: She Could Neither Resent Nor Love Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Without any hesitation, the man bent over and seized her slender arms before raising them above her head. Two pairs of lips touched each other as sparks flew. During the intense intertwining of their tongues, the woman who was already breathing unevenly suddenly let out a low moan. The man quickly swallowed the excited noise into the depths of his belly. Yuan Xuansrge rough hands instantly stripped off the clothes that were very normal, but currently seemed like annoying obstructions... His muscles that were exposed to the cold air were covered in goosebumps, causing her to shiver. However, she could not stop herself from being aroused by him. During her final moments of rationality, Mu Chenyan thought of the words that her brother said in front of the gravestone... However, the frantic but temporary confusion was quickly forced into a corner as he advanced. She was then covered by him before she promptly drowned in the pleasure. Everything progressed naturally... ... Afraid of hurting her, Yuan Xuan gingerly kissed her forehead before he reassured her, Little Chenyan, dont be afraid. I wont hurt you again. Mu Chenyan could not control herself anymore. She dug all ten of her fingers into his flesh while she begged her body to stop letting out anymore embarrassing noises. Her rosy cheeks caught his dripping sweat and mixed them with her tears. All sorts of bittersweet feelings welled up inside her heart... Chenyan, Chenyan... His whispers brought waves and waves of pleasure that surged through her chest and neck, before he gently bit her earlobe. This had always been Mu Chenyans sensitive spot. Mu Chenyans entire body rapidly began to shiver before she bit her lip and bashfully turned her face to face the other way while blushing. Yuan Xuan disliked it when she behaved in a reserved manner to conceal her intentions. She was clearly aroused by him but was still suppressing the lust. Chenyan, let it out! He quietly persuaded her while a sinister smile appeared on his lips. Mu Chenyan shook her head. No ones gonnaugh at you, so be a good girl and let it out. Yuan Xuan continued attempting to create a chaotic scene. He gradually advanced and forced Mu Chenyan into a corner. She was unwilling to admit that his body had caused her downfall once again. In reality, he had alreadypletely conquered her. Nheless, her body was not actively pandering to his needs because her heart was busy beating itself up. She was physically pleasuring this man as shey underneath him despite her parents intense hatred for him. These sinful feelings were so strong that they made her gasp for breath. Faint doubts surfaced in her heart regarding the things that Mu Chenwu had said. However, she could not find suitable reason or proof to support her ims. Her indecisiveness caused her greater pain when she was faced with Yuan Xuans gentleness. She wanted to love him, but simultaneously hated herself when doing so. Thus, she could neither resent nor love him. Her heart was deeply gued by guilt when she enjoyed these physical pleasures. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan was unaware of the worries that were overtaking her. The man who had not engaged in lewd behavior for a long time now used his body to satisfy his soul. He was in ecstasy now that he could use his own methods to express his love for her. The music that had not been yed in the house for a very long time now started humming away once again. ... The thick mist that rose inside the room slowly vanished. The exhausted woman quickly fell into deep slumber. Yuan Xuan gently kissed the rosy glow on her pale little face. After so many days, it seemed as though some anxiety had returned to his heart. Yuan Xuan tightly embraced her in his arms while his heart quietly sighed. As long as she was still by his side, he was fine... He was previously worried about personal gains and losses, but when he saw the way Mu Chenyany under his body, he felt relieved. He finally realized that, although he was not good at expressing his love verbally, it did not mean that it did not exist. Chapter 179 - Shes Slightly Insane but You Shouldnt Be Afraid

Chapter 179: Shes Slightly Insane but You Shouldnt Be Afraid

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the second day, Mu Chenyan was suddenly struck by an intense pain that was simr to if one attempted to run 5000 meters without training. Her body that was already lethargic became even more exhausted because of this. When Old Mistress called everyone to Upper Mansion in the afternoon for lunch, Mu Chenyany on the bed without any intention to move. There were one thousand excuses she could use to decline the invitation, but she was too afraid to use them. She would never allow the entire Yuan Family to make fun of her for excessively indulging in physical pleasures! Mu Chenyan crawled up and applied some light makeup on her face. Next, she picked out a festive looking light pink knitted dress from her closet. There were several small diamonds that glimmered on the translucent piece of gauze that covered her chest, making it extravagant yet sufficiently modest at the same time. She wore a trendy beige cashmere coat over of her dress and walked downstairs in a pair of stilettos. Yuan Xuan was waiting in the hall. When he saw that she had made some effort to dress up, his heart was filled with joy. A smile unconsciously appeared on his mouth before he reached out and pulled her into his arms before quietly praising her, So beautiful! Mu Chenyans cheeks turned slightly red while she remained silent. Yuan Xuan had not seen her head to Upper Mansion although the Spring Festival was tomorrow. Bying, she could prevent Old Mistress from seizing the opportunity to ridicule her. Not only was she being very courteous, but she was also simultaneously making Old Mistress happy. You might see Ruoxins mother in a while. Shes slightly insane but you shouldnt be afraid. Yuan Xuan specifically mentioned this because he had already seen that woman yesterday. She appeared well-behaved, but if she saw the important youngdies like Ruoxin, Yuan Tian, and Chenyan who had dressed up beautifully, she might behave abnormally and yell, Xiner... Xiner... He had informed her about this because he was worried that Chenyan would be frightened if she had to witness this. Mu Chenyan bitterly smiled to herself. A previous suspect like herself was about to meet the victims mother. Although the other party was slightly insane, she still felt a bit awkward about it. Is that true that Zhao Yanni had previously been an astonishing beauty? Mu Chenyan quietly asked. Yes, Qinger and Ruoxin inherited their good looks from their mother. However, you dont have to worry because shes already insane, so she doesnt remember the exact details of the incident that happened that year. Yuan Xuan consoled her. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly and replied, The court has already ruled me innocent so I dont have anything to worry about. My heart was merely filled with sympathy when I thought of how a healthy person had be insane. She had taken one wrong turn and ended up going the wrong way. When she was in City C, her next husband was a gambler that nearly sold her and her daughter on the ck market. After the incident with Qinger happened, it was only natural for her to fall into a dark ce. At the time, Yan Jun had gone to probe into her. Yuan Xuan briefly mentioned the situation the fact that Yan Jun had gone investigate the mother. Mu Chenyan was shocked. Could it be that Yuan Xuan had suspected the mother and daughter of the Zhao n? She had clearly witnessed how Yuan Xuan had spoiled and showed extraordinary tolerance toward Shu Qinger. Conversely, Yuan Xuan had always only maintained a necessary amount of courtesy and distance with Zhao Ruoxin. This was the main reason why Mu Chenyan had never directly shed with Zhao Ruoxin. Chenyan, I owe Qinger a favor that I can never fully repay... It seemed as though Yuan Xuan had sensed Mu Chenyans concern. He suddenly embraced Mu Chenyan and spoke to her in a gentle tone. Could you tell me what that favor is? Mu Chenyan held her breath before she finally decided to ask. Him being so tight-lipped about this only made her want to know the details of his secret even more. It was impossible to act like she did not care. Previously, Shu Qinger was like a cinnabar mole on Yuan Xuans forehead C something that would always be there because it was eternally hidden from the moonlight... Chenyan, I would have told you long ago if I could say! There are some things that youre much better off not knowing. Ive done many things, but my only wish is for your heart to know peace. A hint of reluctance shed across Yuan Xuans dark almond-shaped eyes as he spoke. For some reason, a spark of hope shed in Mu Chenyans heart. Her voice quivered as she asked, Then Qingers baby... Wasnt mine! Yuan Xuan firmly said. When he fixed his gaze on Mu Chenyan, his eyes were unbelievably calm. Chapter 180 - All Eyes on Her

Chapter 180: All Eyes on Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The determination in Yuan Xuans eyes was like a beam of sunlight shining into Mu Chenyans heart, lightening her footsteps as she strides... Mu Chenyan held onto Yuan Xuans arm as they arrived at the Upper Mansion, where several of the important people had already been waiting. Due to the number of guests visiting in the Spring Festival celebration, Old Mistress even opened up the front hall for guests to hang out. The front hall was spacious. The eastern and western walls were decorated with antique shelves made of yellow rosewood. Pretty antique decorations and tools that Old Master Yuan liked were ced on top of them after having been cleaned thoroughly. Toward the north end facing south was the masters seat, a wide wooden chaise lounge with ornamental carvings. On its side, several intricate chairs made for one person each were ced in order, alternatively separated with a tiny tea table about four feet each side. Both Old Master and Old Mistress liked antiques that exude a sense of tradition, so the Upper Mansion of the Yuan Family was embellished in such a way that it harkened to the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Additionally, it was mixed with some modern aesthetics that radiated dignity and generosity. Sitting in the front hall, Old Mistress looked stately and majestic. The Yuan Tangbai couple was no longer there, but their seats were reserved, followed by Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo couples. Yuan Zhe led Wen Ya to the seat reserved for the eldest grandson gentlemanly. He ced his huge hand over Wen Yas, whispering to his wifes ear. Wen Ya would asionally smile faintly as Yuan Zhe helped brushed her loose hair behind her ears. Wen Ya seemed to be at ease in the situation. She beamed at Yuan Zhe a smile, her face flushed. Thedy seemed to really be happy... Seeing that, Mu Chenyan was a little ufortable. After finding out the secret between them, she was puzzled how the two could disy their affection publicly as if nothing had happened. Was maintaining an appearance of peace really more important that the true needs of the soul? Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran sat together beside Yuan Zhuan. Noticing the act of the Yuan Zhe couple, Yuan Tian shared a look with Mu Chenyan as if she was saying, Look, arent they just such good actors? Mu Chenyan forced herself to smile at Yuan Tian. Taking her seat beside Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan noticed Yuan Zhe looking at her. Without any change in facial expression, he made his mouth curve upward to form a smirk. Mu Chenyan could tell from his gaze that he was still immature, even a little hard to read. Mu Chenyan recalled the other day when she overheard his conflict with Wen Ya in the little garden. He seemed to know about Mu Chenwus return to Luo Hai as well. Yuan Zhe was really excited about it, but how could her brother have any connection with a person like this? Everyone was chatting away when Old Mistress decided that most people were in attendance and said, Yuan Family had produced many descendants to carry on its legacy, so Id consider today asing to a full circle. Everyone is here to celebrate this Spring Festival together. If only Old Master and Tangbai were here... The older they were, the more frequently people who had left them and unchangeable events would appear in their minds. Seniors were bound to dwell on memories! Seeing the objects they were associated with, Old Mistress looked over to Yuan Tangbais seat as she sniffled, prompting everyone tofort her. Mother, please dont be too sad! Brother had sacrificed his body for the country. He is the hero of Country Z. Even though he is here no longer, his heroic soul lingers. Look at all these people who visit us, arent they here for him? Yuan Tangshuo knew what Old Mistress was sad about, so he quickly assuaged her. Upon hearing sacrificed his body for the country, Mu Chenyan stiffed up as she looked at Yuan Xuan. It looks like the people of Yuan Family thought it was natural that Yuan Tangbai sacrificed himself! Mu Chenyan smiled ironically. Old Mistress nodded and wiped her eyes with her handkerchief. Yuan Tangzhong said softly, Mother, as you would know, even though big brother is no longer with us, Little Xuan was still doing well for us. Now that the youngdy of Mu Family also returned, big brothers family will begin to grow again in a few years when theyve had new babies! Mu Chenyan did not expect Yuan Tangzhong to mention her. She had tried to hide her presence as much as she could, but with a single sentence, everyones gaze focused on her. Chapter 181 - Not the Tamest Horse in the Barn

Chapter 181: Not the Tamest Horse in the Barn

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The room suddenly felt a little repressive. Chenyan had been back for quite a while. After conditioning her body, she should be able to have a baby now! Wen Ya spoke up suddenly and broke the silence. She cast a nce a Chenyan with a slight smile in her eyes. Mu Chenyan could sense a hint of longing and envy in her tone! It might be due to knowing that Wen Ya had lost a child before that Mu Chenyan sympathized her, but she could not say it. Mu Chenyan smiled slightly. She knew no matter what she said at this moment, she would not earn anymore than a scowl. If she expressed herck of desire for a child, Old Mistress would be enraged, how could a madam of Yuan Family have a thought such as this? If she expressed her desire for a child, Old Mistress might also quip at her, how dare she express her ambition of seeding the Yuan Family? The tension was tight between the two families. Even though they knew the inside story, they had to pretend nothing was happening. Mu Chenyan was going to go crazy. Beside her, Yuan Xuan held her hand into a tight grip. He almost growled, It should be soon! When we have the little carrot head, grandmother, you wont feel lonely anymore! With that deration, Yuan Xuan looked at Mu Chenyan before staring straight at his grandmother with conviction! A tiny chill crept up Mu Chenyans back. Yuan Xuan made a bold statementhis child must be born by her. Old Mistress scoffed lightly. She looked at Mu Chenyans skinny frame then looked at Yuan Xuan. In the end, she sighed. This child could not grow out of this foxy woman, after all. Shes all skin and bones, we dont even know when she would be carrying. Moreover, having a weak constitution is not good for the child! I think she should condition her body for now! Mu Chenyan was not sure why, but she could hear Old Mistresss tone loosening up, epting the fact that she might continue Yuan Familys legacy by birthing an offspring... Chenyan is not weak, I think shes just right! Yuan Xuan protested. His protective nature had tickled Mu Chenyans heart. Grandmother, I heard you were also a skinny beauty in your heydays. Look, Yuan Family still managed to blossom into the fruitful tree that we are now. All this is to your credit! Yuan Xuan had always been so protective of his wife, it was almost watertight. He praised Old Mistress, but at the same time, he stopped her from her insults! Old Mistress sighed again. She understood just how fiercely Yuan Xuan was protecting the girl. It was the Spring Festival, a rare time where everyone gathered. Even though she disliked Mu Chenyan, she should not be too overt about it, so she decided to let it go. Old Mistress turned toward Wen Ya. It had been so many years before there was any news from Zheer. Xiao Ya, you should go and have a checkup at your third uncles hospital! Wen Yas face paled. She looked at Yuan Zhe with trembling lips before he smiled. Grandmother, Ive been too busy, Im not ready yet! Yuan Xuan is the descendant of the eldest child, but uncle didnt want children due to his prominent military merit, causing Yuan Xuan to be the younger one, I think he should take the lead this time! Having said that, Yuan Zhe shot Yuan Xuan a mysterious smile as he nced at Mu Chenyan. Seeing the topic boomeranged to Mu Chenyan, Old Mistress smiled faintly, You young people always have your ideas. Whatever you want to do, go ahead, I cant care anymore! Xue Meiwei and Lu Shan smiled alongside Old Mistress, saying that the children have their own destinies to fulfill. Yuan Zhe saw Mu Chenyans cold gaze andughed. He said softly, Chenyan is the number one socialite cultured by Mu Family. She has both looks and talent. The future eldest grandchild in Yuan Family has to be birthed by her! However, Yuan Xuan should work harder. I heard my sister-inw isnt the tamest horse in the barn... Halfway through his unfilteredment, Yuan Zhe paused and stared at Mu Chenyan, grinning at the irony. It was an obvious challenge. If it were not for each others understanding of the situation, it would seem as if he had pursued Mu Chenyan before. Silently, Mu Chenyan glowered in disdain!

Chapter 182: Wen Ya Is a Good Lady That Is Way above Your League

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion From the angles both overtly or covertly, Yuan Zhe was jesting at her. He was frustrated at his failure to make a move on her, so his words were as spiteful as a sour grape. Yuan Zhe knew that Mu Chenwu had returned, so he must have guessed that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan maintained a close front, but apart at heart. That was why he would provoke her with those words! Seeing Xue Meiwei, Lu Shan, Yuan Tangshuo, Yuan Ran, and Yuan Zhuan spending time with Old Mistress, chatting away excitedly and directing attention away from her, Mu Chenyanughed coldly and responded. I am, byw, a legal Mrs Yuan. Yuan Xuan is different from other people. I only need to do my best to serve him, why would I need to be tamed? Yuan Xuan was satisfied with his wifes answer. He stayed silent, nning to observe the battle! We have always stood by our united front without a need to pretend to love each other! If a man really loves his wife, then he should want the best for her, not disy affection publicly and abuse secretly! Mu Chenyan looked disinterested, but she was secretly livid at someone like Yuan Zhe! Mu Chenyan surmised that since he would treat Wen Ya the way he did but still show affection in public, he must be afraid that Old Mistress might find out! Wen Ya was her friend. Even if she could not help Wen Ya to get out of this toxic rtionship, she could warn this man who was less than a beast! Wen Ya was shivering and dared not to look at Mu Chenyan. It was as if she was the one making mistakes, not her husband. Mu Chenyan was heartbroken. In the past, Wen Ya was one of the top socialites in Luo Hai. Just because she was paired with a bad person, she became the fearful person that she is today! If it werent for that ident, she wouldve be a mother by now. At that thought, Mu Chenyan pitied her! Yuan Xuan sat quietly on his chair. Hearing Yuan Zhes provocation and tone of voice, then witnessing Mu Chenyans ability to rebuke him without making a scene, the edges of his lips curled upward. It was not that he did not want to help Mu Chenyan, but he did like watching her reaching out with her w like a tiny wild cat as it satisfied his sense of twistedness. His woman was not weak! She had been suppressed for too long! No matter in prison or in front of himself, she had always suppressed her most evil side. Sometimes, Yuan Xuan felt so sorry for her. Instead of suppressing her, he would let her unleash her true self! Yuan Zhe was so angry, it was as if smoke wasing out of all of his orifices. Mu Chenyan was making fun of his marriage with Wen Ya! If thats the case, she might have guessed the situation between him and Wen Ya, so Yuan Zhe dropped his pretense! Heughed in a low growl. Bantering adds a little vor in our marriage! Wen Ya likes it! As he was saying that, the man smiled at Wen Ya shamelessly. The poor woman had been shivering the whole time. Her eyes were filled with a swirly glint, and her fingers trembled lightly. It was evident that she was torn between loving and hating him, but Wen Ya knew how to restrain herself better than anyone else. As for today, she kept suppressing the pain in her heart and pretend not to understand anything! Yuan Zhe stood up suddenly. He ced his hand onto Wen Yas shoulder and whispered, Xiao Ya, tell them, dont you like my treatment? Huh? Mu Chenyan could see Wen Yas pale face and misty eyes, as well as her fighting the urge to cry in situations like this. A delicate and charmingdy, reduced to this level where she could not express her true feelings at all! Mu Chenyan sighed, regretting that Wen Ya could not live up to her full potential! Yuan Zhe, I will say this. Wen Ya is a gooddy that is way above your league! Mu Chenyan was frustrated. At this point, she was clearly angered by Yuan Zhe! Hearing Mu Chenyans exasperation, Yuan Zheughed silently. At least Xiao Ya and my parents arent fighting! Xiao Ya wouldnt be caught between love and hate! Miss Mu is undoubtedly the magnanimous one. Even with the drama between the two aristocratic families, you can still keep at your idea of love, what a rare quality to have! If it were me, I would have killed to make sure the other person suffer. Yuan Zhe smiled sinisterly! He was definitely trying to provoke her! Chapter 183 - Yuan Xuans Warning Was Simple and Straightforward

Chapter 183: Yuan Xuans Warning Was Simple and Straightforward

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhes words pierced Mu Chenyan heart directly! His voice was soft, so his words only traveled enough for the four people to hear, leaving out Old Mistress and the others. Yuan Xuans face darkened. The handsome mans upturned eyes turned frigid cold staring at Yuan Zhe. It was as if the moment Yuan Zhe continued speaking, he would kill him! Before Yuan Xuan could say anything, Mu Chenyan smirked and shook the cell phone in her hand. Yuan Zhe was taken aback a little. Seeing that he understood her intention, Mu Chenyan continued, Youre right. These words are so ssic, I want to record them with my phone so I can rey it in the future! Yuan Zhe saw Mu Chenyans cell phone and remembered the other day when he failed, his actions were all recorded by thisdy! Right now, Mu Chenyan was reminding him that his weak spot was still held in her hands. If he kept on going and his scandal was exposed, not even Old Mistress could save him! Beads of cold sweat formed on Yuan Zhes forehead, immediately dousing his condescending manner! Yuan Xuan stared at Yuan Zhe patronizingly. After Mu Chenyan had finished speaking, he was confused, but he did not betray anything from his facial expression. Daughter of Mu Feng, youre good. Your actions still pull their weights, I see! Not willing to give up, Yuan Zhe mentioned Mu Feng again! Mu Chenyans face flushed a sickly sallow! Yuan Xuan said suddenly, Brother, how are you doing, career-wise? Yuan Zhes face changed drastically. His eyes were wide and his jaw was clenched as he said, Im doing well! Oh, how did I hear about the recent bad press? asked Yuan Xuan as he smiled mysteriously facing Yuan Tangzhongs direction... Yuan Zhes jaw was clenched tight. He did not think that a tiny family gathering would turn into a theater for a political power struggle. He had yet to prepare the script for it, so he was a little flustered! I dont understand what youre saying! Yuan Zhe lowered his voice dangerously! They were all avoiding Old Mistress consciously. The descendants of Yuan Family could fight among each other, but they should never show that to Old Mistress! The rigid familial rule of old had already been deeply ingrained in their hearts. I was just reminding you. Deputy Mayor Chens hotline almost exploded withints, and even the public opinion monitoring mailbox was filled to the brim withints of some new delinquents misbehaviors! Yuan Xuan paused before continuing at the direction of Yuan Tangzhong. Brother, your fame will attract inspection, you should leave those people for your safety! If things go south and were exposed, its not only Yuan Familys fame that will be involved! Yuan Xuan canted lightly, with grace and elegance. His chilling gaze shrank his eyes to a single slender line, emitting an attractive aura,plementing his knife-sharp features. Yuan Zhe was pressed by Yuan Xuans intimidation and had seen his father staring over anxiously! He understood. His trips to Lan Kwai Fong had not gone unnoticed. The pictures that were taken there had been sent to disciplinemissioners. No other people would have done it, it must be Yuan Xuan! He lowered his voice and said with a smile, Little tricks like that are not worth my while! Yuan Xuans little tricks were not that clever! With his father on top of the food chain, Yuan Xuan could not use Yuan Zhe! Mm, I understand. How could brother do something like that? The men of Yuan Family were all upstanding members of the society. Tricks and improper conducts will never be a part of the Yuan Family! Having said that, Yuan Xuan paused, his eyes shing a hint of ruthlessness! My only concern is of those loud, petty people. This is just a warning in case there are bigger threats in the future! Yuan Xuans warning was simple and straightforward! Chapter 184 - Idiot Son Who Only Makes Troubles for Him

Chapter 184: Idiot Son Who Only Makes Troubles for Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion They were not loud, but Yuan Tangzhong had been paying attention to the entire conversation. It was especially so when Yuan Xuan shed him an asional nce of warning. Being in a high position for so long, it was impossible for Yuan Tangzhong not to know that look! Hearing Yuan Xuan said that the public hadined, Yuan Tangzhongs face changed as he heard the meaning behind Yuan Xuans words! The Capital City had wanted to nurture him. Even though there was not an urate report, insiders had alreadymunicated to Yuan Tangzhong that they should be more careful before the awards season and not ck off that might cause everything they had done to be for nothing! Yuan Tangzhong understood, if Yuan Zhe was caught being disruptive by Yuan Xuan, his job would be lost, let alone an opportunity to get a promotion! This nephew, Yuan Xuan, had always been a boulder in Yuan Tangzhongs heart. In his struggle of getting to the top, Yuan Tangzhong did not dare tox. Even though his big brother was gone, the background Yuan Tangbai left for Yuan Xuan had been supporting him and not something he could win over overnight. He had been in hiding in Luo Hai for years to cultivate his own influence in order to climb to the top. Unexpectedly, when Mu Feng was defeated two years ago, his promotion was deeply affected as well! Now that he finally had a chance to move on and continue to ascend thedder, why would he waste it away for menial things like that? Yuan Xuans choice of not inheriting the military merit from his father, choosing to pursue the path of business was only a smokescreen. Luo Hais political climate had been held in his hands the whole time! Yuan Xuan was young, but he was mature. His wisdom and charisma allowed him to sway hearts easily, causing plenty of problems for Yuan Tangzhong in the district of Luo Hai! Even if he stayed in Luo Hai, he would still be suppressed by Yuan Xuan! Furthermore, Yuan Xuan and the Shao Family from the Capital City were too close! In the past, the master of the Shao Family and Yuan Tangbai were both pursuing Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen chose to reciprocate Yuan Tangbais feelings, and matched her own cousin to Shao Jingshan, who gave birth to Shao Yibai who became best friends with Yuan Xuan! The aristocrats and politicians of Luo Hai had an internal scale of their own. Even if they were not keen on honoring thete Yuan Tangbais wishes, they would still honor the fame that came with the Capital Citys Shao Family! Even within the family, Old Mistress was supporting Yuan Xuan. If he did not use the opportunity to lean toward the center, it would be hard for him to stay in Luo Hai and have a chance to rise again! In this key moment, his idiot son, Yuan Zhe, was making more trouble for him! Yuan Tangzhong warned Yuan Zhe with a fierce re. The things youve done, well settle the ount one by one when we get home! Yuan Zhe was upset, but he dared not to stand against his own father and could only endure the embarrassment! Yuan Tangzhong wanted to change the topic, so he asked Old Mistress, In a few days, during the Spring Lantern Festival, the entire Yuan Family will be worshipping our ancestors. Will you still send an invitation to the Hu Family of East City? East Citys Hu Family was where Old Mistresss only daughter was married into. Old Mistress replied, Butler Fu will handle that! Hu Family is so prominent right now, it would be inappropriate to send a butler over. What if I go there myself to invite sister and her husband to spend the Spring Lantern Festival with you? Yuan Tangzhong continued. Hearing that, Yuan Xuan smirked silently. The little influence that his aunt and uncle have had been taken into ount by Yuan Tangzhong. If he would recruit them that enthusiastically, he must have been desperate. You can do it. I was just worried that you might be working too hard, so I nned to let the butler send the invitation. It would be best if you can go. Yuan Hongmin hasnt returned for the past two years, let her bring the children back! Speaking of her daughter, Old Mistress was longing to see her. The only worry she had was because Hu Family had some issues two years prior and got sacked from a governmental role. They did not dare to contact Yuan Family until recently when they had been reelected again. Chapter 185 - When Zhao Ruoxin Brought up City C, She Actually Trembled out of Fear

Chapter 185: When Zhao Ruoxin Brought up City C, She Actually Trembled out of Fear

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong epted the instruction. When Old Mistress saw that it was time, she ordered the servant, Go to the back hall to invite Ruoxin and her mother for lunch. Everyone gradually moved to the dining hall while chit-chatting. The servant had only been gone for a short when Zhao Ruoxin came down from the second floor of the vi with Zhao Yanni. This was Mu Chenyans first meeting with Zhao Yanni. Rumor had it that she was a remarkable beauty in the past when she was married to Luo Hais Shu Family. At the time, the Shu Family was still intact, and they held a high status among the aristocratic families. Unfortunately, one false step led to many more. Zhao Yannis secret affair with her private doctor was found out, and Shu Heng was so enraged that he drove her out of the house, along with the child with the bad heart. Back to modern day, her healthy daughter had died in an unexpected tragedy, she herself had be mentally deranged, and her current husband was a gambling addict. As fate would have it, she had to use this identity of hardship to find refuge under someone else. One could only feel sorry for everything shes been through. Mu Chenyan watched the Zhao ns mother and daughtere walking one after another before sitting down beside Old Mistress. Zhao Ruoxin was dressed dazzlingly. The clothes she wore was a dress that Old Mistress had probably gotten custom-made for her in preparation for the Spring Festival. Although she did not grow up in a wealthy and influential family, one had to admit that her poised aura was no less exceptional than those of the socialites in Luo Hai. However, Zhao Yanni was having the jitters. Even though she was wearing a set of clean clothes, she gave off a sense of shabbiness. Her hair wasnt neat, and her gaze was frantic and fearful. She nced at the crowd and she panicked, holding on tightly to a part of Zhao Ruoxins dress. Xiner... Scared... Im scared... No one knew if this kind of behaviour was normal for her, but she seemed to be extremely nervous at this moment. After hearing Zhao Yannis say this, Zhao Ruoxins expression changed. She tugged at her mothers shirt and rebuked her in a low voice, Mother, they are all the members of the Yuan Family. Whats there to be afraid of? They provide you with food and drink, and yet youre still afraid. Would you prefer to return to City C? Perhaps it was because Zhao Ruoxins tone was so full of disgust that even an insane person could detect it, but Zhao Yanni was terrified, and she kept shaking her head. I dont want to go back. I dont want to go back... City C seemed to bring up horrible memories. When Zhao Ruoxin brought it up, Zhao Yanni physically trembled in fear. Then sit down and eat quietly. After lunch, Ill bring you to the garden to y. Zhao Ruoxin changed her tone to that of a mother coaxing a child. Zhao Yanni held on to Zhao Ruoxins clothes and would not let go. Zhao Ruoxin smiled at Old Mistress helplessly. Grandmother, Ive requested not to have Mothere, look at her now... Old Mistress Yuan let out a sigh andforted her. Yanni, all that has happened is in the past now. Dont think too much. The reason we invited you over today is to apany Xiner for the festival. When Zhao Yanni saw Old Mistress kind eyes, she quietened down a little and cautiously sat down next to Zhao Ruoxin. Old Mistress was rather courteous to this insane woman. Everyone else at the table had their reservations toward this pair of mother and daughter who were outsiders. Therefore, the matter weighed on their minds while they ate. The Yuan Familys banquets were all the same in Mu Chenyans eyes. She was truly an outsider who could not grasp the situation, hence she gave the cold-shoulder to the Zhao ns mother and daughter who were of unknown origin. After lunch, the sons and daughters of the Yuan Family surrounded Old Mistress and chatted with her. On the other hand, Mu Chenyan bid farewell to Old Mistress with the intention of returning to Hibiscus Garden for an afternoon rest. When Mu Chenyan left, Yuan Xuan walked her all the way to the little garden before saying in a low voice. I guess you must be exhausted from yesterday night? Ask Ah Fu to give you a shoulder massage and knead your back to loosen you up a little. Chapter 186 - Im Not Mentally Ill

Chapter 186: Im Not Mentally Ill

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan blushed a little. What he had said was right. The intense work out from yesterday night had indeed caused her to feel sore all over her body. However, she could never tell Ah Fu that her entire body was sore, and then to ask her to give her a massage! Even though Ah Fu was young, that did not mean that she was dumb. She did not listen to Yuan Xuans suggestion nor look at him, instead merely saying goodbye with her head down. You can go and apany Grandmother now. Ill take a stroll in the garden as Ive eaten too much just now. It was already spring, the season of awakening for all creation, so the garden around her truly gave off a sense of beginning. Some of the unidentified nts in the little garden were already starting to reveal their sprouts. Mu Chenyan enjoyed the outdoors, she did not want to be stuck in the house. When Yuan Xuan saw that she was still blushing, he chuckled to himself. They had done it numerous times, but every time this matter was brought up, she would still be shy. This woman was really seductive! He reminded her in that deep voice of his, Dont stay out too long, and be wary of catching a cold. Mu Chenyan nodded and skipped along the path in the garden. The buildings of the Yuan Family Mansion adopted Huizhou-style architecture. The garden also retained the characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Coupled with Yuan Xuans love and particrness over garden art, and a few locations in the homestead made for wonderful sceneries. Mu Chenyan arbitrarily roamed about in the garden. On one hand, she wanted some fresh air to cool down and think about how best to ask Yuan Xuan to allow her to apany her mother on Lunar New Years Eve tomorrow; on the other hand, she wanted to avoid the scene of the Yuan Family reunion. Not everyone could enjoy such a life! Even if she left the Yuan Family and reunited with Yan Mei and Mu Chenwu, her family would still never beplete. Mu Chenwu had told her that he had assembled some forces and was merely waiting for the right time to topple the Yuan Family. However, he did not reveal the specific n to Chenyan. Mu Chenyan was worried about that indefinite future. After a while, she started to feel tired from walking. As the afternoon sun was shining brightly, she sat down and rested underneath the shade of a tree. Xiner... Im not full yet... Suddenly, Zhao Yannis voice traveled over from around the bend. Where are you taking me? The miserable womans voice was very weak, and there was a pleading tone to it. Let me have my fill... Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eat! Zhao Ruoxin chastised, Youve embarrassed me in front of everyone! Do you think Id actually bring you here if not for Old Mistress kindness? Mu Chenyan heard their footsteps getting closer. To hide herself from them, she quickly hid in the empty space between the dense trees. Zhao Ruoxin tugged at Zhao Yannis sleeves as they walked by from the direction of the Upper Mansion. Because her stomach was not filled, the insane woman was a little emotional. However, it also looked like she was afraid of Zhao Ruoxin and was thus being unwillingly dragged along by her daughter. Her face was full of grievance. Xiner... Do I still have to go back to that ce? I beg you, dont send me back to that ce... please? That ce is filled with people with mental disorders... You dont want to go back? Then can you remain at the Yuan Family? A trace of disgust shed through Zhao Ruoxins pretty eyes. You are already mentally ill. Why are you afraid of others? Zhao Yanni hurriedly replied, Xiner, Im not... Youre not what? Zhao Ruoxins words were harsh, and she had a stern expression. Even Mu Chenyan was surprised. It was fine that this woman was insolent and rude toward her every day, but was this insane woman not her mother? Huh, you better behave well. After Ive settled everything, Ill get you out of there. If youre disobedient and ruin my ns, dont even think about leaving that ce! Zhao Ruoxin threatened. Zhao Yanni was clearly terrified. She pulled Zhao Ruoxins sleeves and said tearfully, Im not mentally ill. Youre the one who asked me to fake it to help you... Chapter 187 - Miss Shu, Im Concerned That Youll Forget About What Truly Matters

Chapter 187: Miss Shu, Im Concerned That Youll Forget About What Truly Matters

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shut it! Zhao Ruoxin was enraged and stopped her. She turned to scan their surroundings before saying in a hushed voice, You have to stay at Zong He until my n seeds. You cant let anyone know that youre pretending to be ill! Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyans jaw dropped. Zhao Ruoxin first entered the Yuan Family because her mother was mentally deranged, her foster father had died, and the debtors of her gambler-foster-father were after her. If Zhao Yanni was merely pretending to be insane, then why was Zhao Ruoxins doing all of this? Moreover, Yuan Xuan had conducted investigations and found that Zhao Yanni had been insane for some time now. This meant that Zhao Ruoxin had nned this a few years back! This way, she could garner the sympathy of the Yuan Family and sail pass their defense to get to Old Mistress side. Using Qingers name, she could also gain Old Mistress protection. Other times, she would put on a cute or naive look and pretend to be infatuated with Yuan Xuan... This woman, who had some serious tricks up her sleeves, had carefully nned to get close to the Yuan Family. She would not have done all this for something as simple as to win over Yuan Xuan. Her methods were terrifyingly meticulous! One had to wonder what exactly she meant by after her ns had seeded. Xiner, what do you actually n to do? Zhao Yanni asked slowly while using her oily hands to rub her eyes. She seemed to be scared of Zhao Ruoxin, but at the same time, was curious about her ns. Although Zhao Yanni imed that she was not sick, Mu Chenyan felt that her manner of speech to be somewhat abnormal. Her speech and reactions were slow, as if her brain had gone through major shock. Zhao Ruoxin was clearly getting impatient. She looked at her mothers nk look and snapped, Can someone as stupid as youprehend such matters? You only need to remember this. If you dont listen to me, Ill send you back to City C! Upon hearing the threat, Zhao Yanni trembled in fear and pleaded continuously, I dont want to go back to City C. I dont want to go back. They wanted to sell me to the Golden Triangle to be a prostitute for the army... Humph! Its good that you know! Zhao Ruoxins pretty face was filled with disgust as she coldly said, Youve done so many stupid things in your lifetime. Agreeing on helping me is the only wise thing youve done. Whether to continue staying in Zong He Sanatorium or to head back to City C, its your choice. Im not forcing you to do anything! As Ruoxin spoke, the frigidness in her tone was overwhelming. This kind of state not only caused Zhao Yanni to panic, but even Mu Chenyan, who was still hidden in the trees, to feel extremely uneasy. Ill go back to Zong He! Zhao Yanni was obviously more fearful of City C. She was willing to remain in the psychiatric ward rather than head back to City C. Zhao Ruoxin sneered coldly and cast a sidelong nce at her mother. I see youre not all that dumb! At this moment, her handphone suddenly rang. She looked at the iing call disyed on the screen Mr Shadow! Zhao Ruoxin panicked and nced around. Then, she lowered her voice and picked up the phone. Why are you calling me at this hour? The other partys voice was deliberately suppressed, and there was a hoarse and gloomy chill to his words. Miss Shu, Im merely concerned that youre forgetting about what truly matters, so I called to remind you. Mr Shadow, my surname is Zhao, not Shu. Zhao Ruoxins tone was heavy but helpless at the same time. Hehehe, Miss Zhao? Alright then, Miss Zhao. Im here to I gave you what you wanted C youve sessfully moved into the Yuan Family. Now, shouldnt you start considering getting me results? Mr Shadows tone was sluggish, but Zhao Ruoxin could sense the murderous intent in it! Its the Spring Festival now. My mother has been brought over to the Yuan Family. Im afraid I wont be able to aplish the task youre referring to during this period. Zhao Ruoxin was extremely irritated, but she dared not offend the other party, hence she could only lower her voice and reply. Mr Shadow, rest assured, I wont do nothing after all that youve done for me, but I need opportunities and time! Alright, Ill give you some time. Nheless, I want to remind you that I could help you move into the Yuan Family, and in the same way, I can easily disclose your history. You have to think carefully about which result you want! Mr Shadows coldughter caused Zhao Ruoxin to shudder. She was extremely nervous, and her whole being was trembling as she forcefully suppressed the feeling of irritation currently brewing in her. Mr Shadow, rest assured, Ill get you results very soon so as to not dy your ns! Chapter 188 - Look at the Consequence of Disobedience

Chapter 188: Look at the Consequence of Disobedience

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan held her breath and hid motionless in the space between the trees. Zhao Ruoxin hung up the call and leaned against a tree as if all her energy had been drained from her. After some time, she regained her senses and noticed that Zhao Yanni was still watching her respectfully and with extreme caution. The way she acted as if she was threading on thin ice was pitiful. She sighed at Zhao Yanni and said, Youll have to stay on the outside for the time being. Dont approach the Yuan Family unnecessarily to avoid being found out, especially by Third Young Master. Whenever you see him, just dodge. After the festive period, Ill suggest having you sent back as soon as possible. Xiner, cant you let me stay with you for a few more days? Zhao Yanni pleaded softly. Zhao Ruoxin cast Zhao Yanni a disdainful look, her face filled with disgust. After the n has seeded, Ill go and get you. She turned to leave after she said this, ignoring Zhao Yannis expression that seemed to be on the verge of tears. After she left, Zhao Yanni slumped into a nearby chair and began to tear up. Mu Chenyan saw how that woman miserable looked. It was rather unbearable to her, and she could notprehend how Zhao Ruoxin could treat her own biological mother like this. Moreover, after overhearing the conversation, Mu Chenyan got the increasing sense that Zhao Ruoxin was not as she appeared. When Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan was already waiting in the living room. It seemed that he had been there for some time as the half-full teapot of Pu-er tea on the coffee table exuded a faint aroma. The handsome man was resting his forehead on one hand, with the other hand holding the teacup as he leaned back against the sofa and rested with his eyes closed. The cold and aloof aura he emanated carried lethal temptation. From Mu Chenyans angle, his angr jaw looked like it had been chiseled from marble. Youre back? Hearing the light footsteps, Yuan Xuan opened his eyes and ced the teacup onto the coffee table. He then got up and walked toward Mu Chenyan. The man wrapped his arms around her slim waist and said in a slightly reprimanding tone, I told you not to stay out too long. Look at how cold your body is now. Tomorrow is Lunar New Years Eve, and theres a nice performance for you to watch. If you fall sick, then all my effort will be wasted. Mu Chenyan did not know what performance he was talking about, but taking into ount how serious he was about it, he must have carefully prepared it. I walked around the man-madeke for some time and lost my way. You have to me the Yuan Family Mansion for being too huge. Lost her way? No wonder he could not find her after walking one round. Mu Chenyany gently in his embrace. Earlier on, in the garden, she had felt a little cold. Now that she was in his arms, the sharp change from cold to warm caused her to sneeze a few times. The fact that she was sneezing and her eyes were watery were signs of her catching a cold. Yuan Xuans expression changed. He hurriedly instructed Ah Fu to quickly boil a ginger drink, while he carried the shivering woman upstairs. Yuan Xuan tucked her under the nket whilst raising the air-cond temperature. He then held her small feet in his hands as he chided, These are the consequences of you being disobedient. Youre probably going to catch a cold now because of the spring wind. The warmth from his palms gradually spread across the bottom of her feet. Mu Chenyan hid in the nket, only revealing a pair of bright and watery eyes. A lump had formed in her throat as he massaged her. She could not express her feelings right now. Soon, Ah Fu brought over a bowl of ginger soup for Mu Chenyan. After seeing the bowl, Mu Chenyans pretty brows knotted together. Shemented quietly, I hate drinking this. Its spicy, and the taste is strong. Can I not drink it? Even though Ive caught a cold, Ill usually be fine after a nap. Hurry and take this away... Take it away... Even if you dont take it away, Ill still not drink it... Mu Chenyan had loathed the taste of ginger and garlic since young. Having caught a cold from eavesdropping and now having to suffer like this, Mu Chenyan quietlymented to herself. Chapter 189 - This Woman, Was She Also This Difficult to Deal With in the Past?

Chapter 189: This Woman, Was She Also This Difficult to Deal With in the Past?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans face darkened as he looked this woman who had caught a cold as a result of being disobedient and was now stubbornly refusing to take the medicine. He rubbed his forehead and got a headache just thinking about it. However, the man still coaxed in a low voice. Be good. Otherwise, your cold could get more severe. Just a single bowl of ginger soup wont be sufficient to get rid of it then. Tomorrow is Lunar New Years Eve. Do you want to celebrate the entire festive period with a cold? Ah Fu saw that Mistress was making a scene, and she was afraid that Young Master would not be able to coax her sessfully, so she also piped up, Dont worry, Mistress. Ive added lots of brown sugar. Its not spicy. Mu Chenyan looked at the bowl of brownish liquid, and her stomach swirled. She shook her head and said fearfully, Itll still taste terrible even with brown sugar. You dont need to lie to me. I dont want it. If you want, you two can drink it yourselves... Mu Chenyan had never been this irrational. She was really terrified of the ginger taste, like a child who was afraid of injections and would cry upon seeing the professionals dressed in big white coats. Mu Chenyans current state of struggle did not reflect her socialite status. Her fuzzy hair was unkempt, and her eyes were wide with fear as she stared at Yuan Xuan. However, she saw Yuan Xuan merely hugging his shoulders and looking at her with a straight face. His gaze was ring, almost as if to say try not drinking it, see what Ill do. She cried out loud in her heart and reluctantly took the bowl. After tasting it, she felt that it was still hot, and she wanted to throw a tantrum and not finish it. She pouted and tearfullyined, Who imed that you have to drink such awful stuff after catching a cold? Also, this is too hot. My lips will be scalded from drinking it! Yuan Xuan was annoyed and amused at the same time. She was the one who was sick, but she was acting as if she was doing them a favor. The handsome man raised his hand and motioned for Ah Fu to leave. He sat down by the bed, took the bowl and blew at it. After taking a sip to check that it was no longer hot, he gave it to Mu Chenyan. Its not hot anymore. Can Mrs Yuan drink it now? This man, whose tone seemed to be light and casual, was actually silently challenging her, as if to say, Lets see what other excuses you have now. Mu Chenyan was getting frustrated. Ive never liked ginger drinks since young. Whenever the maid boiled it and gave it to me, Id always pour it away secretly. Even when my mother found out, she did not force me. Now that Ive grown up, why have I lost all freedom aftering to the Yuan Family? Im well aware of my own bodys condition. I just dont like the taste of ginger. Even if I fall sick, Im willing to endure it. In any case, I wont be drinking this awful thing! There are various kinds of medicine I can eat. Why is it that I must drink this? As she spoke, this woman began to worm herself into the nket, totally submerging her head underneath the nket. Looking at his bunkered-down woman, Yuan Xuan was stunned. Was this woman also this difficult to deal with in the past? Ginger is a good remedy to chase away the cold. Youre now having the early symptoms, so youll recover after drinking it. However, if you choose to throw a tantrum, it might get worse and youll probably have to be hospitalized. Yuan Xuan patiently advised. Huh! The woman underneath the nket snorted and refused to budge. He had yet to discover that when this woman acted spoilt, she was very difficult to deal with! It was just a simple bowl of ginger soup, but she would not drink it no matter what he tried. Little Chenyan, youre already in your 20s. You cant be acting like a child anymore. Even if you want to be feisty, shouldnt you look at the circumstances first? Yuan Xuan used an affectionate tone as he spoke. He really had no idea what to do with this woman. Mu Chenyan was unresponsive as she hid under the nket, forming a small hump on the bed. She protested quietly, How can you be certain that itll get serious? Maybe Ill recover after sleeping through it... Ah-choo, ah-choo! As she spoke, she suddenly sneezed two times... Chapter 190 - There Had Been a Barrier in Her Heart All This While

Chapter 190: There Had Been a Barrier in Her Heart All This While

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hearing her sneeing again, Yuan Xuan became anxious. Mu Chenyan! Waa! Her full name had been called out. What was it that people were most terrified of when they were young? Their parents calling out their full name! This was because if ones full name was called out, they were sure to receive a beating. Yuan Xuan no longer called her Little Chenyan, which signaled impending danger. You know very well that Im not a man with a good temper. If you continue to act childishly, my patience will soon run out. Yuan Xuan lowered his voice and warned, the pupils in his eyes brimming with anger. His thin lips were curled downward, and his eyes were fixed on the annoying woman underneath the nket. The reckless woman snorted, taunting him even more. She still would not listen to him! Unable to quell the surging rage in him, Yuan Xuan reached his hands under the nket and grabbed her cor, pulling her out. Faced with such force, Mu Chenyans hands swung around desperately as she shrieked, What are you doing? I said I dont want to drink it and thats final! If you want, you can have it all to yourself. I wont drink it no matter what... Do you want to quietly drink it on your own, or do you want me to feed it to you? Hmm? This man was getting a headache watching this woman lose her poise, only to act like like amoner. A trace of helplessness shed through his pretty eyes. Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse and deep as he suppressed the rage in his heart. His narrow eyes stared at the irksome woman as he issued his final warning. You know... when a man feeds a woman medicine, there is one method that reigns supreme... If youd like to try it, I dont really mind, but just note that it might not be as simple as feeding a bowl of ginger soup anymore... As he spoke, he swept a nce across the womans chest, deliberately swallowing his saliva as he did so. Mu Chenyan understood the meaning of feed from his gaze, and she shuddered at the thought. Thinking back to how this man had persecuted her to this state, trapped her in this cage, and tyrannically taken her as his own personal ything... He forced her to sleep with him, forced her to take the medicine, and did not give her any rights to protest. All the negative emotions umting in her mind over the past few days broke out. She took the bowl of ginger soup, pinched her nose, and finished the poison in one gulp. When she had drunk all of it, Mu Chenyan gave the bowl back to him and said tearfully, When I was in the Mu Family, my parents still gave me some form of respect, but being with you now is really no different to being in a cage. If I could leave you, then Ill never have to be bullied by you again! She pulled the nket over herself as shemented. Then, she covered her head and hid herself underneath it before beginning to snivel. Yuan Xuan was stunned by the nonsense she had just spouted. This woman had actually been thinking of leaving him all this time? Just asking her to consume the medicine would cause her to throw such a fit? It was probably not just because of the awful taste of the ginger soup. There had been a barrier in her heart all this while, and the ginger soup was just the spark that ignited the fuse. Thinking back to her initial return to the Yuan Family, she had been rtively cold toward everybody. Initially, he had thought if he treated her warmly and gently, that eventually, she would revert back to her original, joyous self. However, judging by her words today, she probably did not have any intention of spending her life with him wholeheartedly. How frustrating! Yuan Xuan wanted to vent, but he realized that it was not the appropriate time. He was emotional at the moment, and she was pissed off. If they were to quarrel, he might identally hurt her... Yuan Xuan forced himself to calm down. After some thinking, he suddenly recalled what Yan Jun had mentioned the other day. Arent you afraid that Mu Chenwu will delude Mistress? Chapter 191 - If Mu Chenwu Plans to Delude Her, You’re Not His Opponent

Chapter 191: If Mu Chenwu ns to Delude Her, Youre Not His Opponent

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The other day she went to the cemetery. Who knows what Mu Chenwu had told her then? If her current mentality was rted to something that had happened back then, then her response was understandable. Since she was now considering the thought of being able to depend on her elder brother, she would naturally think of leaving him. As long as Mu Chenwu was around, she would probably never stop thinking of leaving him! As he pondered the possibility that she might leave him in the future, Yuan Xuan became extremely gloomy and cold. His entire began to give off a ruthless aura that was nerve-wracking to those around him. Yuan Xuan was unable to ept this fact! He really wanted to drag her out from underneath the nket and sternly tell her that leaving him was nothing but a pipe-dream. He would never allow it! However, seeing her little body sobbing underneath the nket, his heart softened. Mu Chenwu had been inciting chaos in Luo Hai for some time, secretly stirring up trouble. He had even covertly incited a few members of the younger generation to rise up and oppose Yuan Xuan. After meeting her brother, this foolish woman might have really be deluded! Thinking of all this, frustration and anger brewed in his heart. However, he could not vent at her, or rather, he could not bear to vent at her. This dumb-dumb! She was genuinely a foolish woman who could never see the whole picture! Yuan Xuan paced about the floor, his heart secretly berating for the longest time. Only after this did he manage to suppress his anger. He decided to switch perspectives and look at it from another angle. On one hand was her elder brother, while on the other, it was the man whom she loved. She herself might be feeling stressed about it. Since he had chosen to hide the truth from her, he could not impulsively let the cat out of the bag now. Alright. Youve already drank it anyway. Theres no need to cry anymore. I wont force you next time. After making this decision, Yuan Xuan looked at her, who was still crying underneath the nket andforted her softly. Mu Chenyan ignored him. Truth to be told, she too, was aware that she was throwing a fit. It was just that the repression she experienced these days, coupled with Yuan Zhes provocation at the Upper Mansion, had exasperated her, and she needed an outlet to vent. Hence, her emotions exploded the moment she was triggered, and the mere bowl of ginger soup had caused her to lose her topletely lose all rationale. Moreover, what upset her the most was that she suddenly realized that there was not even a sliver of trust between Yuan Xuan and herself! Upon her return, she had wanted to share Zhao Ruoxins secret with him, but the moment she opened her mouth, she had said that she had merely lost her way in the garden. She subconsciously wanted to keep the secret from Yuan Xuan. This instantly put her in a bad mood. They were husband and wife. Shouldnt they have the most intimate rtionship in this world? Howe when it came to sensitive topics, she was unable topletely put her trust in him? This annoyed her to the extreme. She cried for a while and did not even realize that she was falling asleep. Just like that, Mu Chenyanid in bed and slept through the whole evening, not even waking up to eat dinner. When Yuan Xuan saw that this woman was fast asleep, he got up and went to the study room. The moment the video call connected, Shao Yibais exceptional looks and effortless smile appeared on the screen. What is it? Now that you have a beautifuldy in your arms, hows it that you still have the time to chat with me? Shao Yibai was always spouting nonsense, but since he was exceedingly handsome, most people did not find him annoying. After noticing that Yuan Xuan was not speaking, Shao Yibai chuckled and teased, Or is it that your Little Chenyan did not fulfill you? Yuan Xuans face darkened and he ignored him. Mu Chenwu has met with Mu Chenyan. After a moment of silence, Yuan Xuan finally revealed what was causing him to feel uneasy. Youre afraid that your Little Chenyan will be poisoned by her elder brother and learn about all that happened back then? Shao Yibai smiled faintly. He was all too familiar with the way this buddy of his thought. If he could handle it solo, then he would not reveal his problems to anyone. However, when it came to matters rting to Mu Chenyan, this exceptionally calm man would lose his footing! I dont want her to know too much. Chapter 192 - Whoever Holds the Family Card, Holds the Trump Card

Chapter 192: Whoever Holds the Family Card, Holds the Trump Card

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan put his hands together and rested his forehead against his arms. His entire being was exuding a frosty aura.. If shes hearing things from Mu Chenwu, then its better if you tell her yourself. Yuan Xuan, you shouldnt have chosen to imprison her to shield her from the disaster that befell the Mu Family. Shao Yibai paused for a moment. He spotted a trace of guilt shing in Yuan Xuans eyes, but it was extremely difficult to get this proud man to lower his head. His restrained nature had long ensured that all pain and joy were to be bore by him and him alone. Youve got to trust Mu Chenyan. Maybe she can handle the truth. Youre always making decisions for her and not giving her the right to choose at all. It was rare for Shao Yibai to act so serious. He had a certain understanding of Yuan Xuans circumstances, so he had the right to speak up. I cant afford to lose! Even if we were to go back in time, Ill still choose the same path that Ive taken. Yuan Xuan stubbornly said as he rubbed the space between his brows. Refinement without ability is worse than in beggary. Hearing that Yuan Xuan was not willing to humble himself, Shao Yibai unceremoniouslymented, Youre not in a better position yourself, are you? Mu Chenyan resents you, and you yourself are constantly fighting with your own demons. Whats the point? Shao Yibai had onlye to know the reasons behind Yuan Xuans actionster on. Previously, Yuan Xuan had been acting all alone. Even when he was under pressure, he would go at it alone. A thought suddenly crossed Yuan Xuans mind. Even though he was upset now, it was better than the possibility of losing Mu Chenyan. At the age of 27, the decisions Yuan Xuan made were resolute and no one could deter him. Now that he was almost 30, two years of rtive istion had helped him to mature, but at the same time, had also taught him about personal gains and losses. Mu Chenwu is his brother. If Mu Chenwu ns to delude her, youre not his opponent. Whoever holds the family card, holds the trump card. Whats more, Mu Chenyan has misunderstood you many times in the past. What Shao Yibai said was true. You keeping it all in would only bring pain to Mu Chenyan. From my point of view, you shoulde clean about the old Xi Fan case and hold nothing back. Shao Yibai finished saying this and paused for a moment, giving Yuan Xuan the opportunity to ponder. Yuan Xuan leaned back into his chair and thought for a while before shaking his head and replying, No way. I cant let her know yet. Shao Yibai rolled his eyes in annoyance. What about Mu Chenwu then? That guys dark forces are growingrger by day, and theyre all based in Luo Hai. Even the Capital City is starting to take note of this matter and has sent a task force to investigate it privately. If Mu Chenwu is captured by the Capital City, and he decides to be a sore loser by revealing the truth of the matter from back then, the situation will return to the same as it was three years back. Youll still be unable to keep your Little Chenyan. Wont that be a waste of effort then? Shao Yibais words pierced Yuan Xuans heart. I never thought of ruthlessly dealing with Mu Chenwu. However, this time Ive made up my mind that once I reel in the big fish that is Yuan Tangzhong, hell be my next target! Mu Feng is already dead, and Mu Chenwu will be no more. After this, no one will bring up that cold case again. Yuan Xuans nd tone wasced with murderous intent. His expression was indifferent, and there was a chill to his words. Youve finally decided to round them up? The timing is rather nice. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order hasnt reached Luo Hai, so you still have time to make preparations. Shao Yibai smiled sinisterly, the bloodlust shing through his dark eyes. After hanging up the video call, Yuan Xuan felt a lump form in his throat. He sat on the sofa in the bedroom, his narrow eyes dim as he watched the thin woman on the bed. Then, he sank deep into thoughts. Shao Yibais words caused him to doubt his own decisions for the first time. Back then, before Shu Qinger was murdered, he had openly married Mu Chenyan, but he had also secretly nned to take down the Mu Family. Mu Feng was vignt, hence the biological father clutched at whatever straws he could through his own daughter, and in doing so, positioned Mu Chenyan at the frontline. Yuan Xuan, if you cause the Mu Family toe to ruin, you may win the battle, but youll definitely lose Mu Chenyan! If you dont touch me, Ill cooperate by letting my daughter marry you; if you so much asy a finger on me, Ill bring your woman down with me to the murky abyss! Mu Feng acted like a cornered animal, causing Yuan Xuan to hesitate so as to not involve her. Hence, he could not make his move. Yuan Xuan was also well aware that Mu Chenyan was his weak spot, and Mu Feng was certain that Yuan Xuan would not dare touch him because of her. In reality, that was what had really transpired. Yuan Xuan bid his time dealing with Mu Feng, thinking that he would first marry Mu Chenyan and deal with the restter. This was the reason he sent his marriage proposal to the Mu Family right after he returned to the country. Little did he expect for Qingers homicide case to surface at the crucial moment before the wedding. Someone had deliberately nned a set-up and framed Mu Chenyan as the murderer! Yuan Xuan did not know whether Mu Feng was behind everything at the time, but a war was about to break out. Mu Feng had foreseen that Yuan Xuan would be unable to juggle his task, hence with Mu Chenyans case tying him down, he would not have the time to deal with him. He brought up Yuan Tangbais old case and distorted the truth, throwing dust into the publics eyes and making a counter-attack against Yuan Xuan. From that point onward, Yuan Xuan hardened his heart and made a decision. He used Qingers case to throw Mu Chenyan into prison in order to shield her from the havoc. He would wait until after he hadpletely dealt with the Mu Family before helping her get out. Mu Feng did not expect Yuan Xuan to act so ruthlessly. Without Mu Chenyan acting as a human shield, the Mu Familys empire was dealt heavy blows and copsed overnight. When all this happened to Mu Feng, Mu Chenyan was still securely locked up in prison. Unfortunately, his n did not proceed perfectly. Mu Feng and the forces that Yuan Tangzhong had umted during his time in Luo Hai had helped Yuan Tangzhong to break away. When Yuan Xuan finally finished dealing with Mu Feng and turned his attention back on this man, Yuan Tangzhong was fully-prepared, and he had alreadypletely dissociated himself from Mu Feng. Yuan Xuan could only reset his strategy and hope that he could get hold of some dirt on Yuan Tangzhong by pure chance. Unfortunately, the game went on for two more years. In truth, he had lived through these two years in anguish. While Mu Chenyan was unjustly imprisoned, Yuan Xuan did not visit her at all in order to avoid Yuan Tangzhong thinking he could use her against him again. He created an illusion that he did not care about Mu Chenyan at all. This not only deceived Mu Feng, but also had Yuan Tangzhongpletely fooled. The uncle and nephew were fighting with each other in secret, building their own forces whilst waiting for the best time to strike. ... Yuan Xuan smoked for a while in the study room. He gradually calmed down and returned to his senses. He returned to the bedroom and saw Mu Chenyan wrapped up in the nket and sleeping soundly. She slept deeply throughout the night and dreamt of many weird things. In her dream, she was back at Xi Fan, riding on a horse and galloping through the vast and expansive grasnd. Her mother and Mu Feng were following from close behind. Ones gaze was full of love, while the others was apathetic. Mu Chenyan rarely dreamt of her time at Xi Fan. This was because she had lived a carefree life during those ten years. Her dreams normally caused her pain and heartache. Chapter 193 - She Was His Wife but Seemed More like His Daughter…

Chapter 193: She Was His Wife but Seemed More like His Daughter...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When it was about midnight, Mu Chenyan felt the bed sink a little, and arge warm heater was ced next to her. Her burning body was filled with the ginger decoction, and now arge heater was attached to her back. This made her feel extremely hot, and she became restless. The more she shifted about, the more attached therge heater became, and the hotter it burned. She continued to try to lose it by shifting her body. Seeing that she was moving non-stop, therge burner spoke. Eh? Therge burner speaks? Its voice is rather hoarse and sexy... It said, Be good, dont move. You know that my willpower is not that strong. If you dont want me to take you now, stay still. She felt that the voice of the burner was very familiar, and it also seemed to be annoyed... This voice triggered memories of someone who was enamored. My, how scary! Mu Chenyan dared not move about again and drowsily continued to sleep. Atst, she broke into a sweat, and when she woke up in the morning, her cold had gone away. * The next day was Chinese New Year Eve. Early in the morning, the entire Yuan Family was already scrambling about. The maids had changed into a new uniform as they shuttled between the pavilions, putting in ce the fresh fruits and tea that were all prepared earlier on. The trees in the hundreds-of-acres garden had been neatly trimmed, andnterns had been hung on the trees. The entire mansion looked very festive and joyous. The white color of the old-fashioned Hui architectural style paired well with the rednterns. This kind of ssicplementary colors beautified the Yuan Family Mansion in a way that was unique to this season. At the entrance of Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan was leaning against the door frame as she looked off into the distance whilst draped in thick clothes. There was a faint sorrow in her eyes, but it was not obvious. This was her first Chinese New Year celebration after being released from prison. This was also her first time celebrating the festival outside of the Mu Family. The daughters of themon people would often also go through such an experience. After marrying, they either celebrated the festival at their inws or brought their husband and children to their hometown to celebrate. However, for Mu Chenyan, the right to choose had been stripped away from her. Apart from the Yuan Family, she had nowhere else to go. Mu Chenwu had only left her his phone number, but did not mention to her where he was currently residing. Meanwhile, Yan Mei was in aa in the hospital and had only a faint sense of the outside world. The bustling scene of the Yuan Family made Mu Chenyan feel scared and lost about the future. She could not leave the Yuan Family as long as Mu Chenwu sought revenge. Thus, the date of her eventual family reunion was still uncertain. While she was lost in her thoughts, the mans deep voice pulled her back to reality. Why are you standing there without wearing your shoes? The anger in Yuan Xuans eyes seemed to want to swallow up this disobedient woman! Early in the morning, this woman had carried theptop downstairs. He did not expect to find her standing at the door daydreaming after he had washed up. Mu Chenyan was startled by his roar, and she looked down at the ground. True enough, she had worn wool socks in the morning and went to the small tea room to write some web articles. As she felt tired after some time, she came out to walk about. The wool socks were rather thick, hence she did not notice that she was not wearing any shoes. Looks like youre inherently rebellious and have been spoiled! Yesterday you didnt catch a cold, so today youre trying to make yourself sick again so that you can finally be satisfied, right? While speaking, Yuan Xuan had already picked her up. She was pressed against his body and smelt the light tobo smell as she responded inly, I dont feel cold. Why are you always treating me like a child? He did not listen to her quibble but carried her upstairs to look for her shoes. Mu Chenyan did not know whether to cry or tough. She really was not deliberately throwing a tantrum like a child C it was because the wool socks were really warm. However, from Yuan Xuans point of view, any arguments were a waste of breathe, hence it was better not to speak at all. She was his wife but seemed more like his daughter... Chapter 194 - You Yourself Are Not a Sunshine Boy Yet, but You Want Your Son to Be One

Chapter 194: You Yourself Are Not a Sunshine Boy Yet, but You Want Your Son to Be One

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After reaching the bedroom, Yuan Xuan helped her put on a pair of warm shoes. His expression was grim as he spoke in a low voice, Its been very easy for you to catch a cold ever since young, and youd have stomach ache every time you have your period. All these are due to yourck of awareness. Mu Chenyan was stunned. Stomachache? You still remember those things... As he said, every time she had her menstruation when she was younger, she would feel extreme difort in her stomach. There was once during the winter holidays, she hade to y in the Yuan Family and had followed Yuan Tian to the man-madeke for too long. Upon her return, her period arrived, and she passed out from the pain. Yuan Xuan had carried her to the bed at the time. Mu Chenyansplexion was pale as she clutched her stomach and moaned in bed. This frightened Yuan Xuan so much that he even called over his family doctor. The doctor prescribed painkillers, and after the pain slowly eased, she fell into a deep sleep on Yuan Xuans bed. When she woke up, she, she saw that she had painted Yuan Xuans bedsheet with a piece of blood artwork... You still owe me a bedsheet. As the man spoke, he began tough heartily, making Mu Chenyan very ufortable. That was my first time having menstruation... I didnt know how to handle it... The embarrassing topic instantly made Mu Chenyan want to die in a hole. Now youre all grown up, and yet you havent learned to take care of yourself. How are you going to be a mother in the future and take good care of our baby? Hmm? As Yuan Xuan spoke, his voice was filled with an love, despite the fact that he was being extremely serious. He had to teach his future childs mother well. Hearing this, Mu Chenyan was stunned. She actually thought of the possibility of Yuan Xuan and her staying together until the end of time. He would dote on her forever, while there would be no need for her to think about revenge. What a good and peaceful life it would be! Perhaps they would even keep their promise to Old Mistress and have babies soon... She didnt know why, but the moment she had this thought, Mu Chenyans heart suddenly became troubled. After having a child, there would be substantial change in their rtionship, and that was something that she could not fathom at the moment! Yuan Xuan was wearing his thick dark-colored woolen sweater. After bending down and helping her put on her shoes, the soft material of the shirt brushed against the tip of her nose. Yuan Xuan then embraced her in his arms and suddenly asked, Tell me, would you like a baby boy? Or baby girl? Mu Chenyan froze and replied softly, Baby... baby girl. Goodness me, things are nowhere near that stage yet. Whats the point of talking about it this early? Feeling embarrassed, Mu Chenyan quickly changed the topic. Hmm. I want to have a goal to strive for. Ill go and find out which technique will us a higher chance of getting a girl when were having our sessions. Yuan Xuan spoke with all seriousness. Mu Chenyan sighed in her heart. Every time he did it, he would pull all sorts of tricks. How could he ever keep to just one technique? However, she didnt want to discuss this with him any longer. She could only lower her head and continue to listen to him spouting nonsense while her face flushed red. When that timees, well have a little princess, and then we can have baby boy after. Ill teach him to be a gentleman toward the two of you! Yuan Xuan was speaking as if all these things were certain toe true. He was even nning to pave the way for his baby boy to be a fine and warm young man. Mu Chenyan could not bear the pull of this superbly handsome man. However, in her mind, Yuan Xuan was never a warm man. At least during her ten-year pursuit, she had never once experienced his warmth. Hearing that he wanted to bring up his son to be warm and friendly, she could not help but be amused. You yourself are not warm, yet, you want your son to be like this? Mu Chenyan chuckled and remarked softly. It was impossible for Yuan Xuan to miss the mockery in her statement. He suddenly lifted her chin, and they looked each other in the eye. The pupils in Yuan Xuans bright eyes were deep, and the surging emotions in them instantly submerged her... Mu Chenyan felt a little uneasy, and her pretty eyshes quickly batted. Seeing the signs of danger in Yuan Xuans eyes, Mu Chenyan shuddered. Before she could reject him, a scorching heat had spread through her lips, making her moan softly. Yuan Xuan kissed passionately, his tongue tangled with hers and as it entered her mouth, stirring up her emotions in the process. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she tried her best to lean closer to him. At times, she would initiate the moves and take a step back in order to allow him to further his advances, ying hard-to-get. Yuan Xuan sensed her mischievous y, and he kissed her even more intensely. One of his hands held her thin waist against him, such that she was able to feel his hardened object. He was telling her that he wanted her now, while the other hand held her head as he gradually began to advance and entrench himself, pressing on harder and harder at every opportunity... Mu Chenyan felt like suffocating. She made a muffled sound and surrendered, but by then, she was already forced into a corner with no means of escape. Only then did Yuan Xuan release her lips, but he then turned to her sensitive ears and whispered in a deep voice, I have no idea what a sunshine boy is like* (TL: A warm and friendly boy), but I do have an idea of how to ignite your passion at any time... This man surely loved to seek revenge for the smallest grievance! Mu Chenyan had no idea how long this demonstration went on for. She only knew that her legs eventually gave way in the end, and she ended up leaning on his shoulder panting exhaustingly. The two were smooching each other passionately early in the morning, going at it so intensely that it was if they were running a ten-kilometer race. Yuan Xuan had been exercising regrly, hence his lung capacity was huge. This kind of small workout was just dessert after a meal, but it was not the case for Mu Chenyan. Her mind was spinning from the kissing, and her face had an abnormal flush to it. Seeing Yuan Xuan smirking while holding her in his arms, she tried to change the topic and said, Yuan Xuan, are there any important people in Zong He Sanatorium? Maybe because they had talked about the past, and this, coupled with the passionate kiss from just now, had made Mu Chenyan suddenly feel a gush of warmth in her heart. She wanted to attempt to trust Yuan Xuan. Now, her intuition was telling her that Zhao Ruoxin forcing her mother to feign insanity to enter Zong He Sanatorium to fulfill an ulterior motive. Yuan Xuan hesitated for a while. Theplexion of the steady-natured man darkened, and surprise shed through his exquisite eyes. He asked quietly, Why are you asking about this all of a sudden? Seeing Yuan Xuans response, although it was brief, Mu Chenyan noted that Yuan Xuan had his guard up when faced with her question. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. The trust that had just bloomed in her heart gradually dissipated, and after some thought, she said, Nothing. Im just randomly asking. Previously Ive heard from Yuan Tian that the Yuan Family had contributed vastly to the public sector, and she asked me whether I want to be a volunteer... Zong He is mainly for the rehabilitation of those in theter stage of mental illness. Its not suitable for you to be a volunteer there. As Yuan Xuan spoke, he got nervous that this woman would throw a tantrum like she did yesterday and feel that he was confining her, so he continued on to say, If you want to do volunteer work, you can go to either East Star Sanatorium or Tian Yi Orphanage. They are very near the town. However, you have to take note of your safety when you drive to and fro. He thought that this was what Mu Chenyan was thinking, but she was actually just making things up. Hearing Yuan Xuans words, Mu Chenyan nodded, but she had other ns in her heart she would look into the matter regarding Zong He herself! Although she had found Mu Chenwu, her initial n to be a reporter was still very much alive. Moreover, with this new-found identity as a cover, it would be convenient for her when she went investigating. Since she already knew that Zhao Ruoxin had a hidden agenda, it was impossible for her to not do anything. As she was Shu Qingers younger sister, this could lead to some clues about Qingers case. She decided that after Chinese New Year, once there was news from Wu Ze, she would begin to flex her muscles at the outside world and show her capabilities. She could not help but be excited at the thought of this. Chapter 195 - Yuan Xuan Waiting in the Same Spot the Whole Time

Chapter 195: Yuan Xuan Waiting in the Same Spot the Whole Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The night before New Year. Mu Chenyan finally found out about Yuan Xuans exciting n! The year she returned after studying in the UK, she had participated in a British fireworks event. The fireworks lit up the sky like trees made of fire and flowers made of silver, leaving asting impression on her. It was only after returning that she found out that fireworks had been banned for a long time in her home country. Mu Chenyan had mentioned offhandedly to Yuan Xuan that she could not forget that experience in the UK, to which he replied that he would invite a pyrotechnician for their wedding... She did not expect the promise woulde true in three years! This was Mu Chenyans first Spring Festival in the Yuan Family. Yuan Xuan had honored his promised three years ago and hired pyrotechnicians from the UK... The difference from that year was that the mood of the viewers was different! That was thest year of Mu Chenyans studies in the UK. Without Yuan Xuan, she had felt helpless and lost for the first time in her adulthood. On November 5th, she visited the Alexandra Pce in London with her friends. Among the dusty air filled with falling fireworks haze, Mu Chenyan made a wish with her maiden heart, wishing to reunite with Yuan Xuan and live together until their hair turned gray! Her wish came true, but the reality was crueler to her than what she had hoped for. Under the same trees of fire and silver flowers, Mu Chenyan could not see the girl that was praying wholeheartedly with her fingers interlocked! Maybe it was because of her perseverance in love that she could sigh about the deception of fate in the current reality! The more love she had, the more difficult her choice was in the current moment! . ..The fireworks disy Yuan Xuan had arranged had gone on for more than 2 hours. Mu Chenyan was freezing cold. Yuan Xuan held her in his arm and promised, If you like, we could arrange for pyrotechnics every year! Obviously, Yuan Tian was overwhelmed by the novelty of his sister-inws preference. She stood in the Hibiscus Gardens entrance in a thick woolen cap, her tiny nose red in the cold as she waved her tiny fist around excitedly. Chenyan, do you know? Just for this performance, Third Brother had hired 6 helicopters to remove the dust in the air before the guys at the Department of Environment agreed to it... Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Xuan in surprise. He was slightly embarrassed for his insistence, but like the college boys who saved seats for college girls, but had to pretend like it was no big deal to cover up their own awkwardness. What was surprising to Mu Chenyan was that she had never known how important she was in Yuan Xuans heart... The year you graduated, when you were watching the fireworks in the Alexandra Pce, I was by your side the whole time! He noticed Mu Chenyans confusion and exined in his deep, raspy voice! Mu Chenyan was shocked! Her pretty face turned white in shock, her lips moved, but she could not speak at all. I was just watching you in the corner. I think your wish must have something to do with growing gray with me! The handsome man was as if he had worn a warm ring of light around him, shining brightly. His normally-cold eyes carried a faint smile as he fixated his gaze on the trembling Mu Chenyan! Just like the fifteen-year-old who stood beneath the pomegranate tree, who brought her the warmth she craved from the winter sun! Yuan Xuan, you, youre saying, you were always... by my side? Mu Chenyans voice was wavering so much, she could not even control it! She had thought the romance was just her wishful thinking! She did not know that he had asked Wu Ze to look after her in the years he had been gone, that he even snuck into the UK to be with her when she was graduating... He used his actions to tell her that even though time was moving on, if she could only nce back in time, she would notice Yuan Xuan waiting in the same spot the whole time! Chapter 196 - Don’t Worry, I Have a Honey Trap

Chapter 196: Dont Worry, I Have a Honey Trap

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The public disys of affection between her brother and sister-inw made Yuan Tian feel as though she was being suffocated to death. Shemented, The world is so huge, yet theres no ce for a single person like me. Mu Chenyan was amused by Yuan Tians sorrowful demeanor. She pinched Yuan Tians little face andughed as she said, Wouldnt Yan Jiangsheng be a good choice? If you want to find yourself a partner, hes already said that hell be there for you whenever you need him! Yuan Tian rolled her eyes at Mu Chenyan, afraid that her brother who was next to her would overhear. When he heard Yan Jiangshengs name, Yuan Xuan snorted loudly before saying, It looks like you still havent stopped contacting that guy. Moreover, youve actually involved Little Chenyan now too? Mu Chenyan was shocked. Apparently, Yuan Xuan was the main culprit who was trying to break up this couple. It was not surprising that Yan Jiangsheng had a bad impression of him. I... I merely took Chenyan to get her hair done... Yuan Tian attempted to lie her way out of the situation. There are so many other ces to get your hair done so why did you insist on going to him? Yuan Xuan turned around and looked at Mu Chenyans hair. He sounded annoyed as he said, It doesnt even look like he did anything! Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian were both speechless. Then, Mu Chenyan mentally rolled her eyes dramatically and sighed aloud. What exactly did this arrogant man think was so great about himself? If you girls like that styling house, Ill just buy it for you. However, Yan Jiangsheng must go C after all, a seductive man like him will only harm naive fools like yourselves! Yuan Xuan made a show of being earnest. Suddenly, he took his phone out and called Yan Jun. Go to Bewitched Moon Fashion House and talk to their shareholders. I want to buy them over... Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian were dumbstruck. Was this man being serious? Bewitched Moon Styling had more than ten branches in the Southeast Region. Although it was not just a piece of real estate, it would still be fairly simple to purchase the chain. Nheless, for it to exchange hands overnight was a bit over-the-top. Yan Jun was holding his wife and child as they spent the eve of the Spring Festival together. From the district where he lived, he could see the night sky in Xi Shan illuminated by fireworks. He thought to himself about how his boss was truly a big shot because of the way he could immediately send a helicopter to clear the dust once the fireworks were over. He took the opportunity to take a breather and rx for awhile. Mistress would probably get Young Master in a good mood during the Spring Festival. However, he had never imagined that his boss would suddenly want to purchase a chain of styling houses in the middle of the night C just as he was watching the fireworks too! That... Young Master... Shouldnt you rx a little while youre celebrating the new year and wait until youre back at work... Yan Jun boldly stated his opinion. His heart was roaring its displeasure. He knew that he would be upied for a long time if they were to take over someone elsespany. Furthermore, Kang Yu was usually the one who handled the trivial matters in the office. Yan Jun pped his forehead and inwardly sighed before he said, That boy Kang Yu is really sly. He hurriedly sneaked off to Phuket during the holidays. I was wondering why an unmarried person like him was so kind as to bring that blockhead Tian Qi along with him to go sunbathing. I cant believe it was so he could go into hiding! Upon hearing Yan Juns reply, Yuan Xuan nodded slightly. This was a reasonable suggestion. He realized that it would be alright to dy the matter for a few days. Before he put the phone down, he mentioned to Yan Jun that he would get his butler to send someone to give his child a generous red packet tomorrow. The cold sweat on Yan Juns forehead had only just disappeared before he was unexpectedly struck by the magical words that were red packet. Thus, he repeatedly thanked his boss before he put the phone down. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian were at aplete loss because they had no idea what to do. What would be of Yan Jiangsheng after the Spring Festival? Would hee back only to discover that all his executives had abandoned him, and that the only shareholder left in thepany besides himself was his most despised person? Moreover, did Yuan Xuan really mean it when he said that he was going to chase Yan Jiangsheng away? Yuan Tian miserably scowled before she turned to Mu Chenyan and whispered, Quickly think of a way to subdue the big man! Mu Chenyan had never expected Mr Yuan to be so headstrong. Her head ached when she realized that her gossiping had stirred up trouble that she now had to desperately try to resolve. She quietly consoled Yuan Tian, Dont worry, I have a honey trap! Chapter 197 - If Mistress Was Willing to Pay with Her Body for a Year

Chapter 197: If Mistress Was Willing to Pay with Her Body for a Year

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian left Hibiscus Garden with a heart full of anxiousness. Yuan Xuan knew very well that the woman woulde and grovel at him, thus he intentionally stopped talking to her and instead went to the study room first. In reality, he did not have any official business to handle. He simply wanted to speak to Shao Yibai. Shao Yibai woulde and visit the Yuan Family as well as see Old Mistress during the Spring Lantern Festival. Thus, Yuan Xuan got Shao Yibai to visit Shao Jingshan on his behalf as he had already sent his year-end gift over much earlier. Yuan Xuans heart became rather uneasy when Shao Yibai mentioned that his mother missed Yuan Xuan. Although Shao Yibais mother, Jiao Shufen, and his own mother were merely cousins, their appearances were extremely simr. Both of them shared a very good rtionship before they got married. However, no one would imagine that Jiao Shuzhens health would steadily deteriorate after she had given birth to Yuan Xuan. After Yuan Tangbai passed away, his wife followed suit shortly after. With this, Jiao Shufens yearning for her cousin was transferred onto Yuan Xuan. Thus, Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan developed a deep bond ever since they were little because of this. Yuan Xuans heart was filled with remorse upon hearing that his aunt was thinking of him. It was true that he had rarely visited Capital City to see her ever since he had returned from abroad. Ill go to Capital City with you to visit her and the others in a few days. Yuan Xuan promised. Once the video call ended, Yuan Xuan lifted his head and looked at his woman who was dressed in the sexiest scarlet lingerie in her closet, which was made of real velvet. She seemed rather bashful as she seductively stood at the doorway. His heart jumped for joy when he realized that she had fallen for his trap. Mrs Yuan, I assume that youre acting so flirtatiously now because you have something to request from me? Hmm? Yuan Xuan lowered his voice on purpose, shrouding it in a mocking tone. He recalled how she would start off gently before gradually bing firmer whenever she wanted something from him. Hence, he decided to act first and bait her this time around. Once he had done this, he saw very quickly that this silly woman had resorted to her old tricks of honey trapping him again. Yeah... Ho... Honey... Mu Chenyan looked extremely ufortable. She repeatedly nced at Yuan Xuans face before she sweetly called out to him. Yuan Xuans body stiffened. Why did it sound so pleasing to hear her intimately calling him by this title? Hmm? Can you say it again? I couldnt hear you clearly! Yuan Xuans childish behavior caused Mu Chenyan to gnash her teeth. He had obviously properly heard her but was intentionally making things difficult for her. Mu Chenyan had no other choice but to soldier on for Yuan Tian and Yan Jiangsheng. Her face reddened as she shouted, Honey, shouldnt you be resting? When she spoke, she turned her head toward one side and bit her lip. She blushed while looking like a delicate girl who was desperately trying to appear alluring. She was unaware that Yuan Xuan became more excited the more she acted this way. Without saying another word, Yuan Xuan rushed over and picked her up bridal-style. His imposing figure immediately smothered her with an aura and intensity that was unique to males, and did not show any signs of stopping. Yuan Xuan carried her to the bedroom while his heart frantically thumped in his chest. His breathing became slightly uneven before he croaked, Mistress was right, I should be resting. However, I cant do without my pre-sleep exercises. Stunned, Mu Chenyan stared at Yuan Xuans seductive jawline. When Yuan Xuan saw her like this, he could not help but tease her, Mrs Yuan, you shouldnt assume that you can get me to do whatever you want simply by carelessly teasing me. If you have a request, shouldnt you give me something in exchange too? He stuffed Mu Chenyan under the covers, but she immediately pulled the nket off and whispered, Will you let Yan Jiangsheng off if I sleep with you... Mu Chenyan felt that she had said something unnecessary but she would feel truly guilty if she just stood by and allowed Yan Jiangsheng to be attacked for no reason. She also could not go back on her word because she had already promised Yuan Tian that she would attempt to honey trap Yuan Xuan (TN: Using romantic or sexual rtionships to manipte others) to resolve the matter with her brother. However, once she put on her sexy sleepwear and ran over, her intentions became obvious. Hence, there was naturally no need for her to act restrained before Yuan Xuan C it would have been more efficient for her to just directly start negotiating terms with him. Yes! I was thinking that I could consider this if Mistress was willing to pay me with her body for a year. After all, earning money isnt as important to me as my wife. Yuan Xuan shamelessly grinned before his dark figure lowered itself onto her... Chapter 198 - You Girls Are Lucky Because You Can Use Honey Traps

Chapter 198: You Girls Are Lucky Because You Can Use Honey Traps

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans body trembled when she saw his energetic manner and pondered about the possibility of paying him with her body for a year. She attempted to increase the distance between the both of them. She pressed her little hand somewhat frantically against his burning chest before she murmured, Yuan Xuan, you... You havent showered yet... It wont make any difference if I shower afterward because Ill soon be sweating anyway! The man spoke as a matter of factly before he lowered his voice and seductively whispered, Since its New Years Eve tonight, why dont we do it while crossing into the new year? Before he finished speaking, Yuan Xuan covered her dark red lips with his own mouth. A tingling sensation that quickly traveled from the tip of his tongue to hers made Mu Chenyan let out a low moan. Mu Chenyan thought to herself, Do it while crossing into the new year? Ever since the old master had passed away, the Yuan Family had discontinued their custom of having their family reunion dinner on Lunar New Years Eve. Thus, the children and grandchildren would return to their own houses after finishing eating dinner by 8PM. Even though it was not even 11PM yet, they had already returned. Moreover, there was at least another hour before they would step into the new year... Do you agree... Do you agree to let Yan Jiangsheng off? Mu Chenyan was still thinking about her task although he had aroused her until her entire body was burning. She strenuously looked for an opening to quietly ask him the question while he was panting. Was Little Chenyan still concerned about another man despite being in such a dangerous situation? Yuan Xuan seriously did not know what to do with this Mistress whocked so much sex appeal. He could not help butugh when he saw how she was pitifully selling her body to gain influence. He stroked her sensitive area with hisrge hand and whispered, If Mistress is willing to do some tricks for me, then Ill promise to grant you your wish. Tricks? Mu Chenyan felt as if she was about to turn into a ball of fire. Her whole body spasmed when he teased it while assumptions about the tricks that Yuan Xuan was talking about swamped her mind. Using this... Yuan Xuan covered her red lips with hisrge hand and gently kneaded it between his fingers. Huh? Mu Chenyan was temporarily confused before she understood what he meant. She had never imagined that Yuan Xuan could be so lewd. The woman fearfully shook her head before she sobbed and cursed, Disgusting pervert, how could you do this? Third Young Master Yuan had suddenly turned into a disgusting pervert... Yuan Xuans heart turned gloomy when he looked at the person under his body whoserge watery eyes were disying actual fear. This woman could not be rushed into action. Rather, she needed to be guided over a long period of time instead. * He was exceptionally vigorous tonight. He was unsure whether it was Mu Chenyans decision topensate him with physical pleasure or the fact that she was paying him with her body to gain influence that had caused everything to taste so much sweeter. Hence, both of them felt much more pleasure than usual when she enthusiastically cooperated with him... Even when the two of them climaxed together, the man was only willing to rest when he finally filled up her body and heart. After the deed, Mu Chenyan felt a strange sense of belonging as he pulled her exhausted body into his arms. Mu Chenyan let out a quiet sigh. No matter how much she hated or resented him, her body would always respond in an honest manner to him. After all, her love and hate for him were deeply intertwined. Would she be willing to give herself to another man if she left Yuan Xuan in the future? Probably not! * Mu Chenyan looked exhausted over the next few days as a result of them having to do it so wildly since the night of New Years Eve. It had to happen during the Spring Festival period as well when the Yuan Family had numerous ceremonies to attend. A new round of visitations and rituals started again right from dawn of the first day of the New Years. Moreover, some of their associates from other towns would onlye after the Spring Festival. These people who held high-ranking positions were all prestigious individuals. On one hand, they came to visit Old Mistress and Yuan Tangbais orphan, while on the other, they were also trying to forge connections with the new generation of Luo Hais Yuan Family. Although their positions were very respected despite staying on the outskirts, their geographical upbringing and cultural backgrounds were naturally iparable to that of Luo Hai. Hence, their circumstances would naturally improve if they could draw support from the Yuan Family and eventually be transferred back to Luo Hai. As such, Yuan Xuans hectic lifestyle soon restarted. He was certainly aware of some of these peoples intentions. Furthermore, he was also aware that his words could impact the jurisdiction and transfer of personnel within Luo Hai. However, he already had a good number of people serving under him at the moment. If he allowed too many people to ride on the Yuan Familys reputation, he was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble if Yuan Tangzhong were to rope them in. Aside from inheriting his fathersposed and iron-willed skills, Yuan Tangbais young sessor had also inherited his sly wisdom when it came to dealing with matters that involved other peoples interests. He neither offended nor made promises to these out-of-town associates. However, all of them returned home happy once they were reassured and received the Yuan Familys generous gifts and favors. Yuan Tian also saw that her brother had seemed to forget about purchasing Bewitched Moon Fashion Styling House because of this busy period during the New Year. However, Yuan Tian was not totally calm, because she knew how two-faced her brother could be. A few dayster, Yuan Tian eagerly walked into Hibiscus Garden to follow-up on the situation. She needed to personally hear the news from Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan found it difficult to divulge her misery. Ever since she had agreed to pay him with her body, she had been exhausted. It seemed as though she was barely alive after being tortured by Yuan Xuan every night. Additionally, she could not keep her legs together... Yuan Tian knew that the problem had been solved when she saw that Mu Chenyans face resembled a peach blossom. There was a smile on her face as she sighed and said, You girls are lucky because you can use honey traps! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes dramatically at her. She was probably unaware that it involved more than kissing when Mu Chenyan was tried to get into this mans good books. However, how could she tell Yuan Tian the details? She recalled how the man had earnestly received guests during the day in an elegant manner C like a traditional young man of an aristocratic background, who was both noble and magnanimous. Conversely, he would transform into a demon at night who pestered her with lewd demands and often questioned her about whether she was feeling enough pleasure... Mu Chenyan resentfully gnashed her teeth at the thought. When she heard Yuan Tian sigh, Mu Chenyan pinched her pretty and unique little face before she said, Youre talking as if youre a guy. If you wanted to use honey trapping, a girl like you could easily catch ten men! I would like to use honey trapping, but unfortunately Im single! Yuan Tian happily giggled as she spoke. Her pearly-white teeth shed cheekily as she chuckled. Soon, the two sisters-inw began endlessly chatting again. Mu Chenyan also discovered from Yuan Tian that Zhao Ruoxin nned to send Zhao Yanni back to Zong He after the Spring Lantern Festival. Mu Chenyan had almost forgotten about this opportunity. She had her own ns upying her mind. If she was a fox, she would have to start acting like one. Moreover, she could not be too hasty for now. Ill start work in a few days. Mu Chenyan casually said, even though she herself was not so sure. She just wanted to pour out her troubles to Yuan Tian. Itll be good for you to work. You shouldnt trap yourself in a cage that is the Yuan household every day. As expected, Yuan Tian chose to support Mu Chenyan despite not knowing what Mu Chenyan was nning to do. Im going to be a reporter at the department where the police station and news office are coborating. Thats a good job. Its part of your natural instincts, and youlle into contact with people from the police station as well. Moreover, youll be able to see whether you can investigate Qingers case while youre at it! A meaningful smile appeared on Yuan Tians face when she spoke. Mu Chenyan suddenly sat up straighter. Unable to suppress her emotions, she said, Tian Tian, youre the only one who understands me... Yuan Tian sighed and whispered, But Ive let you down too. Mu Chenyan looked at her in a puzzled manner but Yuan Tian continued, When you did the premarital checkup at my fathers hospital, the leftover blood samples at that time which wereter lost were probably the ones that appeared at the scene of the crime. If my father had brought out this evidence earlier, you wouldnt have had to spend two years inside that hellhole... Chapter 199 - Hurting Someone in the Name of Love

Chapter 199: Hurting Someone in the Name of Love

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans entire body trembled terribly. As Yuan Tian had not been in Luo Hai over the past two years, she had no doubt heard about the blood sample incident through Third Uncle himself. Had Third Uncle always known that the sample was missing? Mu Chenyan asked in a quivering voice. Yuan Tian became slightly embarrassed when she saw Mu Chenyans reaction. Afraid that she would cause more trouble if she said something unnecessary, she merely gave a vague reply and said, Maybe. Mu Chenyan felt her vision blur before she was forced to take a few steps backward to stop herself from fainting. Yuan Tian quickly reacted and supported her as she tried tofort her, Chenyan, its in the past. We shouldnt think about it anymore, alright? Yuan Tian frantically tried to fix the situation when she realized that she had stirred up trouble. Mu Chenyan sat down, but her heavy chest heaved as she struggled to catch her breath for some time. Wu Ze informed her that he had worked hard to investigate the case and eventually got hold of this important piece of evidence. However, he had never mentioned the Yuan Family. Mu Chenyan only discovered today that Yuan Tangshuo had apparently provided this crucial clue much earlier. If Yuan Tangshuo knew about it, then Yuan Xuan would have also been aware of it much earlier! If Yuan Xuan knew about it but was unwilling to reveal the truth to save her, it could only mean that he had one goal on his mind C which was to make her spend two years in prison rotting away! Tian Tian, you should go home. I want to calm down on my own... * Yuan Tian still felt rather uneasy after she left. Although she did not understand Yuan Xuans goal, her heart was still filled with sorrow when she saw Mu Chenyans reaction. Other people casually mentioned those two years as though they were no big deal. However, did anyone actually know how much Mu Chenyan had suffer through that hell? * Mu Chenyan curled up at the seat beside the window in a daze. She had mentally prepared herself for this possibility a long time ago. However, when she actually discovered the details and truth, she still found it hard to believe. She could not understand why Yuan Xuan had actually left her there and ignored her. She had always assumed that Yuan Xuan had only treated her like this because he had mistakenly assumed that she was truly a murderer. She only discovered today that Yuan Xuan had been very aware since the beginning that she had been wrongly used. Mu Chenyans heart tightened when she recalled how she had stupidly attempted to forgive and ept him. How could she face herself today? If she had not been imprisoned, she would not carry the unlikeable personality that she did today. Moreover, she would not have spent numerous nights being woken up by nightmares about her returning to prison. ... Yuan Xuan discovered that this woman had changed after he returned from Upper Mansion. Why are you sitting by the window again? Arent you worried about catching a cold? Yuan Xuans tone was gentle. He stretched out his arms because he initially desired to be affectionate toward her. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan violently turned her head toward him before she shot an icy gaze straight at Yuan Xuan. The evidence that Wu Ze obtained to release me from prison, were you the one who gave it to him? Yuan Xuan was dumbfounded. His profound eyes darkened before he reached his arms out to pull her in. He whispered, Did Yuan Tian tell you something? You only have to tell me whether you did it or not! Mu Chenyan had a stern and unflinching expression on her face. She had never interrogated Yuan Xuan with such a cold tone before. Little Chenyan, I had my reasons why I did that... There was no way that Yuan Xuan could tell her that he was forced to leave her in prison to counter Mu Feng, and that her own father was willing to use her as a scapegoat. Mu Chenyan felt as though her whole world had copsed. He had indirectly acknowledged this truth by refusing to answer the question. Although she had known the conclusion since long ago, she persistently interrogated him because she herself could not believe it. Soon enough, Mu Chenyan buried her head between her crossed legs. She could not stop her voice from bing serious and resentful. The affection he had shown her over the past few days had basically turned into humiliation today. Yuan Xuan, regardless of your sorrows, have you ever considered my feelings? What right do you have to control someone elses fate? What right do you have to abuse your power like that? Although her eyes were misted by tears, her quivering voice continued, Yuan Xuan, do you know that youre crueler than the person who framed me as the killer... Her words shocked Yuan Xuan and caused him to break into a cold sweat. He had not disregarded the harm that he would cause her. Rather, the circumstances at the time had left him with no other choice. Nheless, he had underestimated the consequences of his actions. In her heart, he would never be the Brother Xuan whom she deeply loved ever again... Little Chenyan! Yuan Xuan quickly cradled her head in his arms before he quietly murmured, Im sorry, I know that I was very selfish! I know that my actions caused you tremendous pain... but youll never know how much I love you... Id rather have you hate me than tell you everything! Yuan Xuan painfully choked back sobs as he spoke. How can you say that you love me? Mu Chenyan shrieked when she saw that Yuan Xuan was still unwilling to tell her the truth. She shoved Yuan Xuan away with one swift push as she viciously red at him. Mu Chenyans eyes were filled with tears, like an injured animal that that had been backed into a corner. She continued shouting, What right do you have to love me? You always speak about love despite constantly hurting me. Is this what you call love? Chenyan used the back of her hands to wipe aside the tears that were streaming down her face while she spoke. Ive loved you for more than a decade and Ive never hurt you! But you? Do you think that the petty favors, sweet words, and pleasures in bed that you gave me could ever count as genuine love? You thought that these things were enough to satisfy me because I longed for you for more than ten years, right? Love isnt a form of charity or sympathy. Although I was the one who fell for you first, I still wanted an equal rtionship! You, on the other hand, felt that giving me little bits of affection was the same as loving me C because I was so cheap in your eyes! When Yuan Xuan saw that she was bing more emotional with her body trembling terribly, he frantically embraced her in his sturdy arms before he lowered his voice and consoled her, Thats not it! Little Chenyan, I know that Ive hurt you tremendously and theres no way for me to beg for forgiveness. However, you shouldnt doubt my love for you! Mu Chenyan used all her strength to break free from his grasp. However, when she was unable to free herself from the mans tightened grip, she pressed her face into his sleeve and sobbed away. She felt her entire body weaken and lost the strength to even keep her head upright. Yuan Xuan quickly picked her up andid her on the bed before he quietlyforted her, Chenyan, dont be like this. Well discuss this issue in the future, alright? Mu Chenyans gaze began distant. She stared at Yuan Xuan as though she no longer recognized him. Her eyes seemed to disy no sense of familiarity toward him. Mu Chenyan slowly came to her senses after a long time. Then, she softly murmured, Yuan Xuan, you recklessly manipte me and hurt me in the name of love because you think that my affections are inexhaustible! You have no fear of behaving boldly and saying that you love me despite doing things that hurt me. No matter what, youll always think that Ill love you and never leave you, right? Yuan Xuan remained silent and quietly endured the intense pressure from her gaze. The mans body began to give off a gloomy aura. There was not the slightest bit of emotion on his handsome face as he remained calm and covered her with a nket. After this, he silently sat at the foot of the bed to guard the woman whoy there. This stifling feeling caused Mu Chenyan to lose herst bits of reason. She hated how Yuan Xuan could remain rational in the face of adversity. Mu Chenyan would acknowledged that he was truly sorry if he had abandoned his cool attitude and begged for forgiveness. However, she would truly be dreaming if a cold and arrogant man like Yuan Xuan humbled himself like that. Mu Chenyan got up and took the pillow by the side before she violently threw it against Yuan Xuan and said, Get away from me! I hate you! I dont want to see you anymore! Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenyan came from a distinguished family with a mother who had an exceptional upbringing. Growing up, she would never lose control of her emotions or go crazy like amoner, even when she encountered matters where it would be reasonable to do so. Chapter 200 - That Woman Might Be in Luo Hai

Chapter 200: That Woman Might Be in Luo Hai

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans mind became slightly impatient when he was unable to fend off the attack from Mu Chenyans pillow. He violently pressed Mu Chenyan and her pillow down against the bed while stubbornly refusing to let go. Unable to vent her internal dissatisfaction, Mu Chenyan became so anxious that her face flushed while tears persistently streamed down her face. As she could not struggle free from Yuan Xuan, she could only sob while she remained underneath him. She resembled a small wounded animal that used its little ws and fangs to retaliate against him. Her current state caused Yuan Xuan to feel a strange sense of panic. Although she was previously wrongly used of being a murderer, her face had always remained indifferent during the numerous and repeated interrogations. She was so calm that it seemed like the matter did not concern her. Moreover, she had never sorrowfully cried tears of anguish. When she encountered those vermin in the prison who beat her up, she endured the harm that they inflicted upon her with her exceptionally patient heart. She also calmly retaliated when Feng Rao humiliated her during the banquet. Had she ever behaved so hysterically? It looked like her heart was truly filled with resentment for him. Yuan Xuan gradually understood it when he thought of this factor. It was not as if his Little Chenyan had not felt the pain. Rather, she had not seriously taken the people who hurt her to heart. Hence, they could not deeply hurt her because she automatically overlooked and disregarded insignificant people. However, the same things did not apply to him in her mind. The pain that he inflicted upon her could be likened to a stab. Furthermore, these stabs would ultimately lead to a violent death. Yuan Xuan suddenly lowered his head to kiss the woman underneath his body. Despite her resistance, whimpers, and persistent tears, he did not want to exin too much. This was the only way for him to express his innermost feelings. If Yuan Xuan knew that refusing to exin today would result in him narrowly losing Mu Chenyan in the future, he would definitely make a new decision. If he knew that walking alone was unlike two people carrying the burden together, he would not have buried everything at the bottom of his heart. However, there was no use crying over spilled milk. (TN: Used an English idiom with a simr meaning instead of directly tranting the Chinese saying.) * Mu Chenyan becamepletely indifferent towards her rtionship with Yuan Xuan after she discovered this matter. Since she could not win against Yuan Xuan, she came straight to the point and decided on a cold war. As she had initially disliked dealing with Yuan Xuan, she had found a suitable reason for it at this moment. She might as well let it be as she was waiting for them to break up! Yuan Xuan allowed her to do as she pleased this time instead of forcing her. When they embraced each other and slept at night, he was additionally affectionate towards the woman in his arms but he did not go any further because he was afraid of upsetting her. Nheless, they respected each other as husband and wife during the day and went everywhere as a pair while acting as though nothing had happened between them in front of outsiders. Mu Chenyan secretlyughed to herself. Her days were exactly like Wen Yas now. The men of the Yuan Family were truly toxic. Yuan Xuans heart became less assured the more calmly Mu Chenyan acted. It seemed as though he had instantly lost his sense of direction despite being the one who had always led their days. Third Young Master Yuans heart was clearly aware of how difficult these days were. Despite being a married man, he spent practically every day living a life of abstinence as though he were a monk. On the other hand, there were still differences between him and a monk because thetter would not have the temptation of women beside them. Hence, it would be fine as long as they could control themselves and their hearts. Conversely, he had to embrace his wife every day while looking at her expression before he did anything else. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan was determined to ignore him, much less allow him to touch her. Unable to fall asleep in the middle of the night, Yuan Xuan could only get up and drink red wine. Nights spent alone were always lonely while wine drank on ones own was always bitter. Thus, this crazed man turned hisputer on and harassed both Wu Ze and Shao Yibai. A vast ce like Luo Hai could not contain his troubles! He was obviously too afraid to mention his fight with Mu Chenyan to Wu Ze because that brat Wu Ze was still concerned about his wife. Would he not be giving him an opportunity if he allowed him to find out about this? His wife was still more important than the glominess in his heart. Wu Zes drowsy eyes were misted. He was dragged from his bed by Third Young Master Yuan right after celebrating New Years. Through theputer screen, the man held a ss of red wine and insisted on discussing business matters such as whether it would be suitable to dig wells and extract oil in Luo Hais recent weather. This was certainly not a wonderful thing. Third Young Master Yuan, Im not even concerned about my familys business. As for those geological reconnaissance terms that only interest old people like yourself, arent you preaching to deaf ears by telling me these things? After being disturbed by Yuan Xuan for three nights in a row, Wu Ze could not stand it anymore. A faintly ominous look shrouded his handsome face before he yawned and deadpanned to Yuan Xuan who was on the other side of the screen. If you insist on telling me those business matters, I can only recite thetest revised constitutions and canonical texts in return. Come, lets make each other suffer! Hmph, Wu Ze had decided not to respect men like him who refused to sleep but chose to disturb him in the middle of the night despite having a wife who warmed his bed. Yuan Xuan became unhappy. He was truly afraid that Wu Zes resplendent voice would really start reciting the constitutions and canonical texts. Terrible friend! Our friendships over! The man finished his alcohol in one gulp and decided to ignore Wu Ze. Yuan Xuan disconnected the video and pondered before he started a video call with Shao Yibai instead... It was fortunate that the night life in Capital City was much livelier there than in Luo Hai. When Shao Yibai lifted his phone, the band was ying a popr Beatles song at a deafening volume in the background. Despite the corrupt environment, the ambiguous mans face was unusually handsome. Shao Yibai had always been direct. After being repeatedly harassed by Yuan Xuan, he bluntly exposed his true colors. Third Young Master Yuan, since youve recently been frequently sending me video call requests in the middle of the night, aside from issues with obtaining what you want, this definitely has to do with the beautiful young woman being unable to satisfy your desires! Tell me, what has Little Chenyan done to make you behave so abnormally recently? Hmm? Shao Yibais tone was extremely rxed and one could even hear a slightly maliciousugh if you listened closely. Yuan Xuans dark figure sank into the chair while he shook the wine ss in his hand for awhile. It seemed as though his cold eyes were concealing something before his deep voice mocked, Ridiculous! Why wouldnt my desires be satisfied? Are they not? Shao Yibai smiled to himself but continued to harbor ill intentions. I was only feeling sorry for an unmarried man like you who was home alone. Thats why I woke up in the middle of the night just to talk to yo u! It was undeniable that Yuan Xuan was still stubbornly defiant despite being rebuffed everywhere. Alright, I can only let you see what a life of luxury really means! You feel sorry for me because I dont have a wife? Should a man of my caliber be worried aboutcking a beautiful young woman? While he spoke, Shao Yibai spun his phone around in a circle. The dazzling and colorfully illuminated karaoke bar was filled with men and women, making it very lively. Shao Yibai resembled a prince. He had anguid expression while his tall figure sank into a dark colored sofa which made him look rather rxed but still bewitching. Yuan Xuan secretly cursed him and called him a demon. Suddenly, a stirringly beautiful woman with wave-like curls beside him hugged Shao Yibais neck and delicately sighed, Master Bai, who are you so happily speaking to? You shouldnt just drink alone. Qianqian will have a ss with you, alright? Through the screen, Yuan Xuan could also feel that soft frame that was pressed against the flirtatious warmth on Shao Yibais body. Yes! Youve finally thought it through? Yuan Xuan who had never seen a woman approach Shao Yibai now narrowed his eyes and watched as Shao Yibai finished the drink that Qianqian had passed him in one mouthful. He could not help but tease him, saying, You little boy, have you finally decided to break your vow of abstinence? A faintly thoughtful smile shed across Shao Yibais uniquely handsome face before he quietlyughed and said, My staff have inquired about it and discovered that the woman might be in Luo Hai.

Chapter 201: It Was True That Men Who Were in Love Could be Childish Too

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan obviously knew who Shao Yibai was referring to when he mentioned that woman. It seemed as though Shao Yibais heart had been stolen. The demon that resided stubbornly deep in his heart originated from that mysterious woman. So your n was toe to Luo Hai and pursue someone? Yuan Xuan who had previouslye here to vent about his unfulfilled desires had now switched to the role of a rtionship counselor. He advised Shao Yibai, So many years have passed. What are you going to do if shes already married or has a new sweetheart? Impossible! Shes my woman! Ill kill anyone who dares to marry her! Shao Yibai suddenly spoke in a resolute manner, disying a huge difference from his normally unruly and uninhibited self. In fact, he now disyed the iron-willed and cold personality of a soldier. Yuan Xuan sighed, Your conscience is really f*cking obstinate! Youre a retired officer, not a bandit chief but youre still talking about killing people! I think you are the one with an obstinate mind. Why dont you change partner if your Little Chenyan is tormenting you so much? Instantly changing from his previously cold and serious demeanor, Shao Yibai sneered and became energetic talking about it. Sitting beside him, Qianqian was frightened by Shao Yibais sudden change of emotions that she trembled slightly and could not help but curled up her body. Perhaps she felt that the ambiguous aura surrounding him was truly terrifying. Yuan Xuan remained calm although the secret in his heart was exposed. He said, Shes merely throwing a tantrum because she recently discovered an old matter from the past. Wow, good job, Little Chenyan! said Shao Yibai as a gloating expression appeared on his face. She should have punished a tyrannical overlord like yourself long ago. I was hoping that Little Chenyan would fight back until you couldnt deal with it. Now you cant be so arrogant anymore, right? Hearing this, Yuan Xuans heart became unhappy and he argued, Women just have to be kept under control for their tempers to disappear. Shes unlike yours, she wont run away just because she said so! It was true that men who were in love could be childish too! Was Yuan Xuan actually bickering with his friend?! Shao Yibai scoffed before he sneered lightly, Dont rejoice too quickly. When I get to Luo Hai in a few days and found her, we canpete again! Are you nning to be permanently based here? Yuan Xuan knew that their coborative project would start after the Spring Festival. Since Shao Yibai could not take too much time out to supervise it, Yuan Xuan would need to take full responsibility for it instead. Nheless, the Shao Family would asionallye over and follow up on matters given that they were representatives of the governmental side. Yes, I may stay permanently. Shao Yibai smiled mysteriously. Didnt you say that you wanted to tighten your scope? I have to go over and lend you a hand then! ... The Spring Lantern Festival When Old Mistress daughter Yuan Hongmin brought the Hu Familys grandchildren to participate in the Yuan Familys ancestral worship, the Yuan Family Mansion instantly became livelier. Shao Yibai arrived on the third day after the Yuan Familys ancestral worship ended. He purposely did so to avoid the East Citys Hu Family. The Hu Family had previously asked Shao Jingshan for help when they met with a crisis. However, at the final juncture, the Shao Family in Capital City chose to take a neutral stance. This resulted in the Hu Family terminated from their government position, and they were instantly suppressed to the point that even the Yuan Family did not dare to visit them. Due to their rtionship with Yuan Hongmin, and with the intervention of some politicians, the Hu Family was reinstatedter. Hence, the rtionship between the Hu Family and Shao Family became strained. One reason for Shao Yibais visit this time was to look for the woman whom he had previously lost. Another reason for his visit was his business coboration with Yuan Xuan involving the oilfield in the Southeast Regions maritime space. He had no intentions to be involved in the elder generations grudges, and Yuan Xuan understood why he had avoided the Hu Family. In any case, Yuan Xuan had never been close to his aunt Yuan Hongmin either. No one was more excited than Yuan Ran at Shao Yibais arrival. Thisdy who had always been the obedient one in the Yuan Family and rarely stole the limelight during any functions could not contain the joy in the depths of her heart. She was eagerly attentive to Shao Yibai even in front of family members. Old Mistress had arranged for Shao Yibai to stay in another manor that was near to the old mansion. After residing in Capital City for long, Shao Yibai was tired of the bustling, popted and noisy big city. Hence, the countryside manor was suitable and fitted his yful nature. Chapter 202 - The Biggest Third Wheel

Chapter 202: The Biggest Third Wheel

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As soon as Shao Yibai settled down, Yuan Ran went over quickly to visit him. Brother Yibai, do you know about Luo Hais Lantern Show? Yuan Ran had always been sweet-tempered and pleasant and spoke in a soft and gentle voice. She was a well-known figure and highly likable amongst the emerging generation of socialites. How could Shao Yibai not know about Luo Haisntern show? The year that the central government assigned Luo Hai to be a special economic zone, was the year that thentern show started and became one of Luo Hais key specialty. Thentern show exhibition would be held for 15 days after the Spring Lantern Festival until the end of the first month of the lunar new year. Tourists from all over woulde by to visit it. Bored to death with the attractions in Capital City long ago, the first thing that Shao Yibai wanted to do in Luo Hai was to visit thentern show and experience the local customs and culture. Sister Yuan Ran, did you want to invite me to see thenterns with you? Shao Yibai bluntly asked. He was aware of Yuan Rans subtle feelings for him. Shao Yibai had always maintained a polite distance between himself and Yuan Ran as a form of respect towards the Yuan Familys Old Mistress. Yes, my grandmother said it would be dangerous for me to go alone because my brothers would be busy apanying my sisters-inw. Thus, I thought of asking you to apany me. Brother Yibai, would you be willing to do so? As a new age and youngdy from an aristocratic family, Yuan Ran restrained herself well and spoke intelligently. Moreover, she could also make well-bnced arguments. Shao Yibai smiled. His handsome face became slightly more reserved. He did not answer her directly but insteadughed and asked, Isnt Yuan Xuan going to bring your sister-inw Chenyan around? That man really doesnt deserve that beautiful young woman. He locks her up at home all day because hes worried about other peopleying their eyes on her! Yuan Ran became rather uneasy. She lowered her voice and asked, Why dont we invite Brother Yuan Xuan along then? Thats not a bad idea! Shao Yibais smiling tiger expression was somewhat lovable. Yuan Rans heart skipped a beat seeing how he was exceptionally handsome with an elegant manner and upbringing. Although the result was not what she desired, Yuan Rans heart still approved of it when she thought of how they were about to go on a journey together. ... Shao Yibai parked his car at the doorway and waited for Yuan Xuan, Yuan Ran looked at the side profile of the man in the drivers seat as though she was a love-struck fool. She thought to herself that there were no men in Luo Hai who were better than him. An individual like herself with this education and family situation would not be settling for less only if she married Shao Yibai. Initially, Mu Chenyan did not n to go along but she was left with no alternative when Yuan Tian rushed over and wailed about wanting to follow them. Thus, Yuan Xuan brought Mu Chenyan while Shao Yibai took Yuan Ran. Including Yuan Tian, the five of them went in two cars to thentern festival held at Ten Thousand Blessings Bridge za. Yuan Xuan sat in front driving the car, while Yuan Tian and Mu Chenyan chatted non-stop along the way. Yuan Xuan was never fond of crowded and bustling ces. But looking in the rear view mirror and seeing how that woman had on a bright and sweet smile chatting with Yuan Tian even though she remained cold toward him, he was suddenly interested to visit thentern show. Yuan Xuan who had always preferred peace and quiet was ready to enthusiastically risk everything and try something new now. Close to arriving, Yuan Tian suddenly wailed, shocking Mu Chenyan and she asked, Whats wrong? Yuan Tians face was dejected when she turned to Mu Chenyan and replied, Youre all paired up but Im all alone! The way I see it, Ill be the biggest third wheel at todaysntern show! Mu Chenyan was instantly amused by Yuan Tian. When she saw that the girl very much minded being alone, she said, Get your brother to quickly find you a man and marry him! When Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan had voluntarily included him in the discussion, he felt like a servant girl who had been personally picked by the emperor. The delight on his face could not be concealed when he said, I think Little Chenyans suggestion is doable! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him while she angrily thought to herself, Must you run your mouth? Chapter 203 - I’m Apprehensive of the Commoners Crowd

Chapter 203: Im Apprehensive of the Commoners Crowd

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan stopped talking about it and paid Yuan Xuan no mind. Thentern show was held at Luo Hais busiest Nine Lane Street where it was decorated with lots of beautifulnterns. World-ss lighting engineers from around the world were invited to personally supervise andplete the set up of these magnificentnterns and floats. The group of five arrived at the entrance. Thentern exhibition was divided into 4 sections with twones each for the visitors to view the disys. Since there were more people on the regr visitorsne and lesser on the VIPne, Yuan Ran suggested that they use the VIPne. Im apprehensive of being in the crowd with themoners! Yuan Tian was not surprised at all when Yuan Ran referred to the public asmoners. Meanwhile, Yuan Ran found it unimaginable that Yuan Tian worked in the medical field. Youre exposing yourself to all sorts of viruses and germs on the pretense of saving lives and treating injuries every day. Id rather die than treat the illnesses of themon people! Yuan Ran once said. This point alone had already ced Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran on two different levels. Yuan Tian was never careless under the pressures of work. She might not have an impressive academic background but Yuan Tangshuo had passed on all his knowledge to her, allowing her to be a doctor who could be described as an actual healer in reality. Yuan Tian was widely praised throughout Luo Hais medical industry, military hospitals, and by the public. She never behaved like a spoiled youngdy when she was working in the hospital. In fact, she treated the militarymanders, who were her superiors, and the lowlymon people equally. Yuan Tian resembled an angel who mingled with humans, using her own warmth to embrace the cold people on earth. Simrly, Yuan Tian could not ept Yuan Rans values and philosophy of life. For instance, Yuan Ran chose to do fashion design but right from the start, she believed that her designs should only be worn by prominent public figures. Alright, Chenyan and I will take the regrne because its livelier there. Were not as delicate as you so you should just go on the VIPne instead. There are fewer people there so a porcin doll like you wont have to be afraid of being touched or damaged! Yuan Tianughed as she spoke and intentionally rolled her eyes at Yuanher ticket. Yuan Ran was terribly annoyed. However, she did not dare to retaliate with Shao Yibai around lest she damaged her fairdy image. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai nced at each other. Yuan Xuans deep voice sounded indifferent andzy as he spoke, Dont look at me, Im definitely following my wife. As he spoke, the proud man strode away with his long legs and trailed naturally behind Mu Chenyan. Hey! Grow up, will you? She is not going to look you in the eye even if you follow behind her? Shao Yibai yelled on purpose because he wanted to annoy this man who regarded himself as iparably proud and noble despite being currently disliked by his wife. Yes, Ill admit that Im immature! Yuan Xuan turned around and perverselyughed. He casually spoke as if he was determined to not let Shao Yibai have his way. That little boy is usually extremely apprehensive of crowded ces but hes really changed a lot and prioritized his lover and forgot about his friend! Shao Yibai pensively looked at Yuan Xuans figure from behind. Yuan Ran became slightly anxious on the side and said, Brother Yibai, why dont we walk here? Im really afraid of crowded ces because it can get chaotic! Frankly, she was worried that the crowd would result in her not having a chance to speak to Shao Yibai. Nheless, getting rid of Yuan Tian and the others was also extremely desirable. Shao Yibai pondered and pretended to be troubled before he quietlyughed and said, Why dont you walk on the VIPne and Ill wait for you at the exit? Hearing this, Yuan Ran dared not walk alone. The main road of the lighting exhibition spanned over 10 kilometers. It was night time, what would happen if somebody with bad intentions were to approach a gorgeous and nobledy like her? Moreover, she wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Shao Yibai. Alright, Ill walk there with you! She had no choice but to agree to walk on the regr visitorsne with Yuan Xuan, Yuan Tian, and Mu Chenyan. Chapter 204 - Look Quickly, That Bodyguard Is So Handsome…

Chapter 204: Look Quickly, That Bodyguard Is So Handsome...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian secretly chuckled to herself when she saw that Yuan Ran had followed them again. In Yuan Tians eyes, Yuan Ran was too persistent when it came to approaching rtionships between men and women. Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran were only one year apart in age. Although Yuan Tian looked childish and impulsive, her heart was actually extremely calm when it came to men. She was very clear about the type of man she wanted. Although Shao Yibai was tantalizing, an intelligent person could tell in one look that Yuan Ran was not his cup of tea at all. Yuan Tian did not know how to deal with her stupid sister. Since she was not fond of her, she could not be bothered to keep up a front either. She dragged Mu Chenyan along and only concerned herself with staying in front while Yuan Ran pestered Shao Yibai. From the looks of it, the one who was actually left alone seemed like Third Young Master Yuan... The mans face darkened as he took big strides with his long slender legs and followed his woman from behind without saying a single word. Since he was already unusually handsome, the elegant aura and noble manner that exuded throughout his entire body made him stood out among the crowd. He overshadowed the splendor of thenterns as young women would snap his pictures sneakily with their phones. Everyone loved beautiful things. When they encountered a man who resembled a celebrity, their curiosity would always get the better of them. Look quickly, that bodyguard is so handsome... Huh, bodyguard? His appearance, his pace in tune with his wifes steps and the way his face remained stern and silent truly resembled like one of the Chinese governments bodyguards... Yuan Xuan was not annoyed because his thoughts were focused on the overjoyed woman before him. The north was known for their ice sculptures while the south was known for theirnterns. Being one of the renowned special economic zones in the world, Luo Haisnterns were certainly more outstanding than those in any other ces. Mingling with the bustling crowd, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian wandered through the numerousntern disys for a long distance without feeling tired. She turned around and looked at Yuan Ran who was fraillyining about being shoved around by the crowd, and how tired her feet were from walking. Poor girl, didnt you know that your feet will hurt if you wore high-heels and walked far? Yuan Tian felt her own thighs trembling when she saw the heels on Yuan Rans feet that were at least 8 centimeters tall. Shao Yibai acted very gentlemanly and supported Yuan Ran as she walked towards the chairs at the rest area. He quietly asked, Can you still walk? If you cant, do you want me to send you back? Yuan Ran was faintly shocked. A delighted look appeared on her face but her tone implied a sense of bashfulness when she said, It really hurts! I cant walk anymore but could you carry me, brother? Being a refined man, Shao Yibai was stunned and after seeing Yuan Rans blushing face, he nodded and said, Alright, Ill carry you. Yuan Ran was so happy that she nearly fainted. She stretched her arms out and waited for Shao Yibai to carry her before she suddenly heard someone nearby yell, Stop! Catch him... Stop him... More than ten meters away, she could see a middle-aged woman carrying a boy who looked like two to three-year-old running after a young man. A tall, young woman chased them from behind closely. The loud yells came from her. Theyre human traffickers. Everyone, help me stop them! The woman continued to shout and her footsteps grew more hurried. Unfortunately, she was wearing a skirt that hindered her running movements, and there was heavy traffic from the bustling and huge crowds who were here to see thenterns. The people around had yet to react to the situation, thus allowing the two human traffickers to slip through and ran past by the side. They violently shoved their way through and caused amotion within the crowd. The woman became furious when she saw that no one was helping her to stop them. Using one hand, she tore the corner of her skirt and wrap it around her waist. She had on a pair of ck stockings that made her long and slender legs beautiful. Her footsteps became quicker once she was no longer impeded by her skirt. She caught up to the middle-aged woman in a few steps and struck the womans neck. The child was thrown out of her grip and fell onto the ground and cried. The young woman picked the child up from the ground. Her beautiful face had a stern expression on it. Sheforted the child and softly said, Dont cry. Your mothers behind us and shell be here right away. The young man looked utterly ferocious when he saw that his aplice had been struck while the child was seized. He drew out a dagger near his waist and threateningly said, Dirty b*tch, Ill make you bleed if you meddle with our business! Chapter 205 - She Was a Promising Beauty

Chapter 205: She Was a Promising Beauty

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The young womans expression remained unchanged upon hearing that. She red at the pointed end of the dagger with an icy gaze before a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She did not seem to be a bit fearful but mocked him instead. Are your skills only limited to kidnapping children and brandishing daggers tomit violent acts? The criminals face was ferocious, his eyes had a cruel expression in them. He mored, Youre not afraid of this? Im going to make you cry! The crowd gathered around in a circle, quietly observing as spectators. The woman knew that situations like these would result in the bystander effect where no one would voluntarily help her as the crowd grew bigger. Moreover, she was at a disadvantage because she was fighting these two people while holding on to the child. The childs mother was still trailing behind them. She would have to wait until the child was safe before making her move. The young man became more arrogant when he saw her hesitating. He continued to shout loudly, raising amotion and telling the middle-aged woman on the ground to get up. Zhang Xiu, hurry up, take the child and run first. Let me handle this woman! Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu suddenly found her strength to get up. She charged over to snatch the child while Zhao San took the opportunity to stab the woman with his dagger. As she dodged, the woman simultaneously kicked Zhang Xius lower abdomen. The child was shielded in her arms all the while but he was so frightened that he did not even dare to cry. Zhang Xiu fell down from the kicks. Seeing that, Zhao San continued to attack ferociously as though he has gone mad and shouted, I just wanted to steal a child but you, a Chen Yaojin (TN: Name of a famous Chinese general. The name is depicted to describe a situation where someone shows up unexpectedly and disrupts a n.), had to appear. Prepare to die! It was certainly extreme arrogance for a kidnapper to kidnap a child in broad daylight and put up a huge fuss! The woman dodged his attacks while waiting for the right moment to strike back. She aimed at Zhao Sans knee and struck him hard till he copsed on the group. She leaped forward and slipped into the crowd to hide. When those two hoodlums mbered up and saw that more and more people had gathered around them, they attempted to flee because they were too afraid to continue fighting. My child! Wheres my child? Little Tiger, Mom... Mom is here... The childs mother had finally caught up and wasboriously panting due to her crying. She trembled as she took her child from the young womans arms and said, My savior... Within the blink of an eye... Those people had snatched Little Tiger... Luckily you were there... The childs mother uttered cries of anguish and was unable to finish her sentence. The womans expression was calm when she passed the child back to his mother and quietly said, Hold your child properly, Im going after the criminals! The people around helped them profusely and pulled the mother and her child to one side while saying, That was so dangerous. Hurry up and hide here... Oh no, youngdy. You shouldnt chase them anymore. We should leave the catching of criminals to the police and stay far away... Thats right, they even have weapons and perhaps aplices too... Hurry up and make a police report... The crowd continuously discussed this. Some of them had even started taking their phones out to call the police and report the incident. Im a police officer! The woman calm and beautiful little face looked exceptionally enchanting under the glow of the lights. She was a promising beauty! The crowd was astonished. This beautiful young woman was actually a police officer? It was not surprising then that she was so skillful to the point that the criminals could not harm her at all. The two criminals could not run quickly because there were too many people. They bumped against the crowd and fell and tried to run again and again before the woman caught up to them. She leaped and kicked both of the criminals in their backs. That unlucky Zhang Xiu was unable to get up this time. It looked like this woman was very skillful with her legs. The restless crowd was nearing Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuans location. Shao Yibai became more alert and upon hearing the crowd people yelling snatching children, has a dagger, and aplice among other things, he understood clearly in his heart what had happened. He saw the criminal in front holding a dagger and yelled to the crowd, Liu Dong, stop staring nkly. Come over and help me get rid of this girl! They apparently still had aplices. Another criminal who was probably Liu Dong charged out from the crowd. Both of them quickly surrounded the young policewoman and forced her into the middle. Yuan Xuans expression darkened as though he could not bear to watch this go on. He had just thought of moving before Shao Yibai turned to him and yelled, You protect the women while I take a look! Yuan Xuan nodded and reached his arms out to pull Mu Chenyan into his embrace. Shao Yibai had gone through challenging experiences in the army ever since he was 17 years old. He was previously also a seniormander in the special forces. Those two people were dead meat! (TN: RAW was cut off.) Chapter 206 - Hey, Arent You Going To At Least Say Thank You?

Chapter 206: Hey, Arent You Going To At Least Say Thank You?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wow! So this is the custom in Luo Hai? A few men ganging up against a woman? Hmm? Shao Yibai said with a smile on his face. However, it was a disingenuous smile with an intense murderous aura around him. The mans aura was extremely strong and it was obvious that he was professionally trained. His bodys muscles bulged at the right ces, meaning that he trained differently from those who trained in the gym. Zhao San and Liu Dongs imposing manner had died down. It was a very unlucky day for them. Firstly, a woman had ruined their n and secondly, a man with such a strong aura appeared to help her. Both of them looked at each other and made eye contact. They were nning to escape once they get a chance. They looked around their surroundings and noticed that they were not at a strategic location. There was a policewoman behind and a devil in front of them. They were in a very tough situation and the thought of putting up onest fight suddenly popped up in their mind. Aiming toward the policewomans direction, both of them lurched at her simultaneously, hoping to break out by force. The policewoman was stupefied seeing both of them dashing towards her at the same time. Before she could react, Shao Yibai suddenly came running, jumped high up and kicked Zhao San onto the ground. Making a dexterous flip, Shao Yibainded firmly on the ground with a beautiful posture. The entire process happened in less than a minute. He was utterly handsome, especially with hisnding action! The crowd cheered as they had only seen such swift movements in the movies. They felt fortunate to see it in person today and they were extremely excited! Seeing how things turned out, Liu Dong decided to fight his way out forcibly. He raised the dagger in his hand and rushed towards him, Lao Zi [TN: The original meaning is father, but it can also be used as a self-professed im by an arrogant person] will fight you to death! Shao Yibai was furious, Im usually the one who is known as Lao Zi. How dare a coward like you im to be a Lao Zi in front of me? Shao Yibai did a low sweep kick, causing Liu Dong to lose his bnce and fell onto his side. Grabbing him by his cor, Shao Yibai easily performed a front suplex. In less than half a minute, the two of them were about to pass out as theyid on the ground moaning in pain. Shao Yibai seemed like he was not done yet. He stepped on one of them on his chest with his leather shoe and scolded, You guys cant even take a little beating!! Next time, train well before making another move. I can easily beat you back into your mothers womb! There was an uproar in the crowd again and some girls even shouted, Wow~ A real-life Spider-Man! Superman! Its Superman... Keep quiet! That young man is mine! Even as a man, I find him very charming! ... Mu Chenyan, Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran were watching from not too far away. Even Yuan Tian was a little excited, Brother Bai is indeed very cool, and that beautifuldy is very brave too!! Yuan Rans heart was beating vigorously. She was bursting with joy seeing how handsome and manly Shao Yibai was. She grabbed Mu Chenyans hand tightly and cheered in a low voice, Brother Yi Bai!! My Brother Yi Bai! Mu Chenyan was hurting from being grabbed on the hand. She rolled her eyes and sighed towards Yuan Xuans direction, as though she was saying, Look at your two sisters! Yuan Xuans mood seemed to be quite good. He looked at Shao Yibai and smiled, It has been a long time since I saw him making such a move. His movement is still as dexterous. It seemed like he did not use his full strength against such lowly beings. I should challenge him someday when Im free! Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuans eagerness to fight and in her mind, she visualized the two extremely handsome men having a massive duel. That seemed to be very interesting... Meanwhile, the policemen who were in charge of maintaining the order at thentern show had arrived. In fact, slightly after 10 minutes when themotion started, somebody reported it to the security police and they rushed over to apprehend and handcuffed the two criminals. The brave and pretty policewoman picked Zhang Xiu up from the ground and handed her over to the police! With support from the crowd, the childs mother went to the police station to lodge a report. Noticing the kind-hearted woman slipping into the crowd without leaving behind a name, Shao Yibai shouted at her, Hey, arent you going to at least say thank you? Chapter 207 - She Gave Shao Yibai a Beautiful Front Suplex

Chapter 207: She Gave Shao Yibai a Beautiful Front Suplex

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The incident just now happened very urgently. Under such special circumstances, both of them did not get to look at each other properly. They only knew that someone else also stood up against injustice and they were both good fighters. After the incident was over, Shao Yibais voice caused the woman to raise her head and look at his face carefully. The moment their eyes met, the beautiful womans face turned pale. An odd look shed through her crystal bright eyes and her pinkish red lips trembled slightly. She tightly pressed her lips together in an attempt to cover up her anxiousness. Her next reaction was to turn around and run without any hesitation! As soon as her delicate little face disappeared in the crowd, Shao Yibai then only recognized who was the woman! Su Qingcheng? The moment that Shao Yibai shouted her name, the woman ran faster! It really is you! Shao Yibai had on a mixed surprise and odd expression on his face. He started chasing after her and even Yuan Xuan was shocked at how quick this whole thing happened. Mu Chenyan and the rest were dumbfounded as they did not know why did Shao Yibai chase after that woman. You better stand still! Youre still trying to run? Shao Yibai saw that the woman was already a distance apart from him, he was angry and irritated. This goddamn woman even lied to him and faked her own name in the past. After he fell in love with her, she left without looking back! Now that they met once again, she turned around and ran without even greeting him! He had looked for her everywhere all these years. Now that they met each other, she was still trying to run? How outrageous! Shao Yibai continued to chase after her with boiling anger in his chest. One of the reasons that he came to Luo Hai was to look for this woman. His subordinates noticed that this woman recently made changes to her personal records and left trails, giving him the chance to track her down. Goddammit! Shu Qingcheng, if I were to catch you, Ill f*ck you so hard that you cant get out of bed! Shao Yibai said ferociously and a hint of cruelness appeared on his beautiful face. The woman did not even run that quickly when she was chasing the criminals earlier. Probably because she really did not want to be caught by Shao Yibai, she held her skirt up and ran forward speedily. As she ran, she kept turning around to look as if she was afraid that Shao Yibai might catch up. Her fine, short hair was getting messy in the wind. The heroine who chased after the criminals just now had turned into the one who was being chased. It was very embarrassing to look at how terrified she was. Shao Yibai clenched his teeth and cursed, Shu Qingcheng, youre so done for when I catch you. Go ahead and run! Ill see how far can you run. Luo Hai and Country Z are just this big! I doubt that you can escape out of earth!! After Shu Qingcheng heard what he said, she covered her mouth and started crying while running... The man that frequently appeared in her dreams found her in the end! One by one, past memories appeared in her mind. After all, she could not get past all the emotional traps that he had set up for her. She had hidden for so many years and Luo Hai was so far away from the Capital City, she thought that he would never find her! Moreover, she did not use her actual name in the past. She never thought that life would go against everything that she wished. Despite how hard she had tried to hide, she had to meet him in a huge crowd under such circumstances! He did not change one bit, he was still as arrogant as he used to be! If she got caught this time, she would most likely never be able to escape ever again. That cannot happen. She must escape! Shu Qingcheng was getting emotional, so her speed naturally slowed down. Shao Yibai was getting closer to her and grabbed her right shoulder when he was able to do so. Almost at the same time, Shu Qingcheng felt the pressure on her shoulder and she arched her waist. With both of her hands, she pulled his arms using strength from her shoulder and waist. She made use of Shao Yibais forward inertia and his above 80 kilograms weight. By doing so, Shu Qingcheng gave the 189 centimeters tall, beautiful and muscr man a front suplex. Our handsome, young man was given a beautiful front suplex just like that... Chapter 208 - My Trip to Luo Hai Was Not Wasted

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The incident happened too quickly and the passersby were stupefied. The Spider-man and policewoman who were working together against the criminals just now, why did they start a fight all of a sudden? The beautiful policewoman was truly very strong. That front suplex shocked the passersby from half a street away. Ouch! A few female passersby saw the scene and they can hardly maintain theirposures. They wished that they could rush towards Shao Yibai, helped him up andforted him nicely. That little beauty really did go overboard with that move. He was such a handsome young man with not only the looks and intelligence but also a defined muscr body. They dare not even think about touching him, how dare she gave him a front suplex? Shao Yibai was not ready for that just now. Moreover, he did not think that Shu Qingcheng would dare make such a move. Thus, he carelessly got caught in a surprise attack. Right down to the moment that he was thrown onto the ground, he still could not believe that this woman actually made a move! Yuan Xuan ran towards them and saw the dumbfounded look on Shao Yibais face. He deliberately asked in a low voice, What is happening? What kind of technique are you practicing? Shao Yibai saw the gloating look on Yuan Xuans face. He put up with the pain, flipped up and cursed in a low voice, Shu Qingcheng, Lao Zi... He turned and looked around. Where did the woman go? She must have escaped again without leaving a trace when he was in an awkward position. Shao Yibais entire body ached from the throw, but it could not evenpare to the pain in his heart. After a few years of not seeing each other, this was her gift to him on their first meeting? If he was known to be a heartless person, this woman was probably worst than him. This is the woman who wasted three to four years of your life? Yuan Xuan tried to maintain a decent image, but he could hardly hide the gloating look on his face, It seems like shes a very bold and resolute person. She must be a tough one to tame, right? Shao Yibai grunted, When a woman is disobedient, it must be due to theck of ravaging. So, all you need to do is ravage her until shes tamed! The next time I see her, lets see if she still has the energy to run!! Yuan Xuan heard what Shao Yibai said and he suddenly looked at Mu Chenyan with his calm gaze... Brother Yibai, are you okay? Yuan Ran saw Shao Yibai being thrown onto the ground by that woman and she was shocked and had just recovered from it. She ran over and held Shao Yibais hand. Then, sheined in a low voice, Why did you meet a crazy woman? Why did she start a fight all of a sudden? Shao Yibais mind was somewhere else entirely. He calmly pulled his arms away from Yuan Rans hands, turned around and said to Yuan Xuan, Lets go! It seems like my trip to Luo Hai was not wasted. I wont be leaving anytime soon! Yuan Xuan revealed a meaningful smile towards the direction where Shu Qingcheng escaped. He sighed in his heart when he saw the ruthless smile on Shao Yibais face. Initially, he was never going to get involved in or give opinions on what happened between Shao Yibai and Yuan Ran. However, the Old Mistress secretly found out that there was something wrong between him and Yuan Tangzhong. Therefore, she wanted to make use of Yuan Ran to strengthen their rtionship with the Shao Family. Nheless, her n will most probably not seed. The five of them returned to the mansion. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian noted clearly that Shao Yibai was not in his right mind after Shu Qingcheng escaped. This neither angelic or evil sessor of the Shao Family rarely showed a hint of seriousness. On their way back, he stopped telling jokes to her and Yuan Tian. His attitude towards Yuan Ran was neither hot or cold. He remained silent for the entire ride. They both did not know who the woman was and Mu Chenyan was not in the right position to ask. Once they got into the car, Yuan Tian could not care less and she pestered Yuan Xuan for the whole story. Who is that woman? Is that Brother Yibais dream lover or the descendant of his arch enemy? Perhaps, that woman is his long lost sister? Yuan Xuan smiled when he looked at Yuan Tian through the back mirror, If you would stop filling your tiny little brain with all these bizarre thoughts, maybe the Yuan Family could save a little more money! Mu Chenyan was taken by surprise and she was amused. She did not think that Yuan Xuan would make a joke. Usually, he always treated Yuan Tian fiercely like a strict father. However, he looked like a loving brother now! Chapter 209 - It’s Not That I Don’t Trust You, I’m Just Worried Translator:

Chapter 209: Its Not That I Dont Trust You, Im Just Worried

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian was munching on the snacks that she bought from thentern show and she choked on it after hearing what her brother said. After a long time, she then only realized that her brother was mocking her about how no one would marry her. Hmmp! What kind of brother are you? Its none of your business even if I spend a few more years eating the Yuan Familys rice! Mu Chenyan could no longer hold back herughter after seeing the dejected look on Yuan Tians face. Then, Yuan Tian suddenly changed her target and aimed at Mu Chenyan, Brother Xuan actually made a joke? It seems like your influence is quite strong! Yuan Xuan looked at Mu Chenyan from the back mirror and saw the indifferent look on her face. It seemed like she did not agree with the fact that Yuan Tian linked her together with Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan frowned slightly. It looked like this woman would not be forgiving him anytime soon! Getting to know each other was easy but staying together was tough. Recalling how Shao Yibai lost the opportunity to be with that woman after not seeing each other for a few years, he was moved deeply. He could no longer wait for his woman to take the initiative to break the silence! When they returned to the mansion, Yuan Tian saw Yuan Ran standing by the car in front of the gates. It appeared that she was having a conversation with Shao Yibai. Yuan Ran seemed a little anxious, but she dared not ruin herdylike image. The change in Shao Yibais attitude was too obvious. Even a fool could tell that it was rted to the woman at thentern show. Yuan Xuan looked at Shao Yibai, smiled lightly and drove past them without stopping. ... They arrived in Hibiscus Garden and right when Mu Chenyan wanted to go to the second floor to take a shower, Yuan Xuan quickly caught up with the woman who constantly gave him a cold face. He said in a low voice, Mrs. Yuan, I think we should talk! Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes andined angrily, What is there to talk about? Third Young Master Yuan smiled briefly, This is not the ce for talking! Then, he dominantly carried the woman who avoided him deliberately by the waist and muffled, Shao Yibai is right, if a woman is disobedient, it must be due to theck of ravaging! Thus, I think we should have a talk in bed! Mu Chenyan, ... ... It was on the third day after thentern show that Mu Chenyan received Wu Zes phone call. Chenyan, I have good news... Before Wu Zes couldplete the sentence with his beautiful voice, Mu Chenyan could already sense the happiness in his voice. I can go to work already? Mu Chenyans heart was filled with joy! Ever since the day after thentern show, she had bedroom talks with Yuan Xuan for three days already. She hated this ce and wanted to leave to ease her mind. Yes, you can go to work, but... Wu Ze paused as though he had some hesitation. But what? Mu Chenyan asked eagerly, worried that there would be some changes. There is an issue on my brothers side. If he loses his temper when you get there, please bear with it. I apologize in advance on his behalf! Mu Chenyanughed after hearing Wu Zes honest words, Big Brother Wu, youre over-thinking. Im not that fragile and Im the one who volunteered this time. I wont make a sound even if Brother Wu Huai make things difficult for me. Dont worry! Wu Zeughed out loud and said, Its not that I dont trust you, Im just worried... Mu Chenyan, ... Wu Ze knew that he had said too much, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, You and Yuan Xuan did not argue recently, right? Mu Chenyan hesitated for a moment and remained silent. Wu Ze sighed and continued, Yuan Xuan actually cares about you very much in his heart! Mu Chenyan said in a low and soft voice, Big Brother Wu, you dont have to say good words for him. You did very well as a friend already! The issue between Yuan Xuan and I cant be resolved with just a few words. Moreover, I also understood some details from the case in the past. Either way, I need to thank you! Wu Ze was stunned. If they were not on the phone, he would probably be too ashamed to even show his face! He knew the secret behind the case but he stood by Yuan Xuans side and deceived this poor woman... Chapter 210 - Could She Be Young Master Wu’s Secret Mistress?

Chapter 210: Could She Be Young Master Wus Secret Mistress?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the next day, Mu Chenyan reported to the news office legal control channel early in the morning. Since Wu Ze had informed the chief editor beforehand, he was very polite to Mu Chenyan. Little Mu? You can go to the human resources department and logistics to collect the things that you need for your work. Then, you can officially start your duty in the afternoon. Chief Editor Liu looked at Mu Chenyans low-profile outfit and a light smile appeared in his eyes. She was as calm as the sea and she had an outstanding temperament. Thus, he was a little puzzled in his heart. What was the rtionship between this young girl and Young Master Wu? She was a very attractive beauty. Could she be Young Master Wus secret mistress? The outsiders had always been very interested in talking about the two sessors of the Wu Family from Luo Hai, especially Wu Ze. He was known as a talentedwyer in the legal industry and also a genial person. Throughout all these years, he never had any scandals and no one had seen him with any women other than his secretary. The woman in front of him now was worthy enough for Young Master Wu to go to the city personally and settled the dispute for her in the police station. Then, he made arrangements for her to work here. She must have aplex rtionship with Young Master Wu. However, Chief Editor Liu felt that something was wrong when he thought about it. If Mu Chenyan was really Young Master Wus secret mistress, why would she work as a reporter? Why would she do such a tough job with her status and social standing? Mu Chenyan did not know that the chief editors brain was filled with all these gossip questions, all she did was to stay humble and respectful. Then, she went to the logistics department and collected her employee identity card, rted documents, as well as daily necessities. There was another young man who was assigned to work together with her in the major crimes department. The moment she entered the office, the young man went to her enthusiastically and introduced himself. Hi, Im Zhang Xin, wee! We will be working together at the major crimes department. This young man seemed extraordinarily excited. When he was introducing himself, he was smiling non-stop and Mu Chenyan was momentarily stunned. Hi, Im Mu Chenyan. Ill be in your care from now on, senior! This was indeed the first time Mu Chenyan worked ever since she graduated. She was thetest recruit in the news industry! Zhang Xin saw how Mu Chenyan was not only pretty, her voice was very pleasant to the ears too. Moreover, she spoke in a humble manner and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. Therefore, his heart could not help but pounded slightly. Early that morning, Sister Fang from the human resources department told Zhang Xin that he had gotten a good job and he might be lucky romantically. When he got to the office, he heard his colleagues talking about how the neer was a remarkable beauty. Zhang Xin just turned 26 this year and just broke up with his girlfriend. Once his colleagues saw him, they joked, Zhang Xin, youre having luck in love! Liu Yan broke up with you and God gave you a fairy from heaven! Zhang Xin had doubts and assumed that they were only speaking modestly. Previously, everyone made excuses and did not want to go to the major crimes department to work with an outsider. After all, the major crimes department was not the ce that they were familiar with. Moreover, they heard that Captain Wu of the major crimes department had a very bad temper. Thus, how could itpare to thefort of their own department? Zhang Xin was young and inexperienced. Since his seniors were not willing to transfer over, he was forced to take the job. Initially, he wasining a little in his heart. However, when he saw Mu Chenyan, all theints turned into gratefulness to the heavens... In the afternoon, Mu Chenyan reported at the major crimes department along with Zhang Xin. Before they left, the other colleagues did not forget to tease Zhang Xin, You little boy, you got a blessing out of a misfortune! If we wouldve known earlier, we would apply for this job too! There were more men than women in the legal control channel. Every time a woman from the coborating unit visited, their eyes would shine brightly. Besides, their new colleague was an outstanding beauty this time. Everyone was burning with jealousy when they saw the smug look on Zhang Xins face. Nevertheless, it was indeed rare for a woman like Mu Chenyan to join this industry. Even if they were to work in the news industry, most women would avoid being a reporter. Zhang Xin thought in his heart that God must have pitied him to send him a River Snail Maiden [TN: This is an old fairy tale in China about a story of a kind-hearted and hardworking who found and brought home a snail one day and took care of it. To repay its gratitude, the snail secretly turned into a beautifuldy and made dinner for the fisherman every day. He eventually found out and both of them got married.] Chapter 211 - Miss Su?

Chapter 211: Miss Su?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan did not dare to arrive in any of those luxurious cars from the Yuan Family. She had taken the bus and the subway early in the morning. Mu Chenyan had on her a pair of newly bought white shoes and jeans, revealing the outline of her long legs. Coupled with the slim fit ck low-cor sweater she was wearing, her outfit was modest. In the morning when Yuan Xuan woke up, she was writhing her slender waist left and right. As Yuan Xuan watched her changed into a light and casual attire, he was stunned. The usual elegant dresses on her had indeed overshadowed the natural beauty of this woman. Having worn an extremely ordinary piece of clothing, this woman looked even more gorgeous now. While Yuan Xuan felt amazed, she was like a fairy who had descended onto earth in Zhang Xins eyes. He strongly believed that luck was on his side, and it was unstoppable! In this trip to the major crimes department, they had to bring over some files and items. Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin used the departments official car and moved all their personal belongings to the police station. Zhang Xin appeared to be very solicitous. He would do everything that required effort, and there basically was nothing for Mu Chenyan to do. Seeing that Zhang Xin was exhausted and sweating all over, and he even wanted to be the driver, she felt a little apologetic. She went and bought two bottles of water; one for herself, while the other was given to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin was overwhelmed by the favor and was happy and giddy during the entire journey. Zhang Xin and Mu Chenyan enquired of the location to report for duty and found out that the recently cleared up cubicles upstairs were to be their temporary office. When there was a case, they could tag along and report; when there were no cases, they could write articles in this office or head back to the news office legal channel. Zhang Xin looked at the small-spaced office and grumbled, Could this have been the storeroom before this? Every year the major crimes department receives much favor from the taxpayers, how could they be this stingy? Look at the wallpaper. Theyre alling off... While speaking, Zhang Xin took a cloth to wipe the table. There was still a disdainful expression at the corner of his lips. Mu Chenyan was rather satisfied with the office environment, however. This is quite good. Its quiet here, and writing articles needs such an environment. Hearing that, Zhang Xin turned his thoughts around. Since it was just the two them here, and they could have face-to-face contact every day, this was surely a good ce to promote their friendly rtionship. His mood improved vastly, and he even hummed a little song while wiping the tables. Mu Chenyan went out of the office and asked around for the location of the team leaders office. She wanted to exchange some pleasantries with Wu Huai. The moment she reached the entrance to the administrative department, she saw the unexpected figure of a woman! Today, she had changed into a refreshing ck sports attire and was wearing a pair of ck and white sports shoes. Her fine short hair was fluffy and cool-looking, and she seemed to be waiting for someone. Miss Su? Mu Chenyan blurted out, and the woman at the door turned around. Her pretty face was somewhat striking. This woman was Su Qingcheng! Su Qingcheng was a little surprised, her eyes dazzling. She asked in a low voice, Miss, do you know me? She was certain that she did not know Mu Chenyan, but upon seeing such a beauty, even the cold-shouldered Su Qingcheng would lower her guard. Id witnessed Miss Sus act of bravery at thentern show a few days back. Mu Chenyan exined truthfully. Upon the mentioning of thentern show, Su Qingchengs expression immediately changed. She coldly sized up Mu Chenyan. You are... Im a friend of Shao Yibais. Mu Chenyan knew that only Shao Yibai had called out her name at that time, hence it was impossible to say that she did not know Shao Yibai. Su Qingcheng became alert, and her body froze. A sense of precaution shed through her pretty eyes. She kept mum as she watched Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly, Dont worry, Miss Su. I wont tell Shao Yibai that I saw you here. Chapter 212 - Mu Chenyan Felt That Su Qingcheng Was Someone with a Story to Tell

Chapter 212: Mu Chenyan Felt That Su Qingcheng Was Someone with a Story to Tell

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Without knowing why, Mu Chenyan felt that Su Qingcheng was someone with a story to tell. Coupled with her act of constantly avoiding Shao Yibai, there must be a reason behind it. People like Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai had an inherent oppressive aura on them. If Su Qingcheng had her own predicament and was unwilling to be with Shao Yibai, it was understandable. After all, everyone had a right to choose their own way of living. Hearing Mu Chenyans promise and seeing this womans clear gaze, the sincere tone made Su Qingcheng smiled lightly. Sadness was seen at the corner of her eyes as she said quietly, Being discovered by Su Qingcheng is only a matter of time. Who can stop him for what he wants to do? Mu Chenyan agreed in her heart, but she did not say it out loud. It even urred to her that if she were to leave Yuan Xuan in the future and stay at a foreign ce, she probably would not want to meet anyone who was rted to Yuan Xuan too... How do I address you, miss? Su Qingcheng turned aside the topic and asked all of a sudden. Her gaze was dim, revealing the courteous alienation she had toward others. Mu Chenyan. Mu, from the word bath. (TN: the Chinese word for take a bath is ԡ, mu yu) The fragrant of incense rises by the jade window screen; the sound of chess pieces awakens the night. (TN: part of a poem written by the Chinese poet, Su Shi, during the Song dynasty. The word Chen and Yan in Mu Chenyans name was referred to the incense and the smoke of the incense in the poem respectively.) Su Qingcheng gave Mu Chenyan a friendly smile as if she had forgotten that she was a friend of Shao Yibais, and she disyed a rare affinity, pointing out the origin of Mu Chenyans name. My mother randomly gave me the name. However, she truly is a literary and artistic woman. Mu Chenyan also had a favorable impression toward Su Qingcheng. She felt that this person was just like her name, a woman who was exceptionally beautiful and exuding an air that caused people to sympathize her. What brought you here, Miss Su? Mu Chenyan looked at the direction of the corridor. Here were the offices of the leaders from the major crimes department. She could not figure out the reason for Su Qingchengs appearance at this ce. Could it be that she was really a police? Back then, Mu Chenyan had thought that she was only saying that to frighten those viins who were kidnapping the child. Su Qingcheng looked at the half-opened door to the chief of the human resources departments office and said in a low voice, Im the new police whos here to report to the major crimes department. Mu Chenyan was surprised. It turned out that Su Qingcheng was indeed a police, and she had managed to enter the major crimes department. Respect arose from within her. Suddenly, there was somemotion in Chief Wangs office. Wu Huai lost his temper in the office. Chief Wang, in my opinion, we should change the name of the major crimes department to the embroidery group! When the higher-ups made these arrangements, they dont even look at the reality. Our task is to crack major and important cases, not to be highly embellished and ineffectual! Chief Wang knew Wu Huai very well, what more when the Wu Family had personal rtions with himself. Seeing that Wu Huai was criticizing the higher-ups arrangement in front of him without giving any face, he too, felt frustrated, but he still had to quell his temper andforted, Little Wu, the people who were sent to you this time had been carefully selected. Even if youre not satisfied, you should at least give them a chance first. You cant negate everything based on your assumption, can you? Wu Huai could not hold it in any longer. He jumped out of the couch and snorted. Carefully selected? Lin Xiao has retired and Zhou Tao is on leave, so theres ack of manpower. I applied for more members and in the end, they gave me three people, one of whom is a technical evaluation graduate. Yes, we solve crimes, but a technical evaluator should be assigned to the forensic department, alright? Moreover, theres a little girl here. Since when did out major crime department had little girls? What do we need them for? To wash clothes or to make tea? Wu Huai sure was famous for his bad temper and gender discrimination. Mu Chenyan presumed that the little girl that Wu Huai said should be Su Qingcheng. Little Wu, dont look down on that little girl. You should know that the main character in the TV series The VI Group of Fatal Case (TN: a police and viin themed drama in maind China.) was a female captain, alright? Chief Wang still had the mood to make a joke, but Wu Huai did not go along with it. He opened the file for Chief Wang to read and said, Look at this little girls looks, even her names Su Qingcheng (TN: Qingcheng () refers to a gorgeous woman who could enchant the entire city with her looks). Apart froming here to bewitch those younger generations, I wonder what else this girl can do. Chapter 213 - Gender Discrimination Had Advanced to a Personal Attack

Chapter 213: Gender Discrimination Had Advanced to a Personal Attack

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Gender discrimination had advanced to a personal attack! Mu Chenyan did not expect Wu Huai to be such a person. Wu Ze had only said that Wu Huais temper was bad, but he did not mention that he was also a male chauvinist. A sunshine boy like Wu Ze would have such an extreme chauvinistic and hostile elder brother? No wonder Wu Ze was worried and had wanted to put aside his work toe with her. Without having met him in person, Mu Chenyan already had a bad feeling toward him. Su Qingcheng heard everything loud and clear by the door. Her fists tightened slightly, and her fair face flushed red. Mu Chenyan felt that if she were Su Qingcheng, she would also have the thoughts of going ballistic. Chief Wang calmed Wu Huai with a few more words before finally taking up his authority as a leader and gave the final verdict. This Little Su, you have to ept her whether you like it or not. In any case, this is Bureau Chief Lees arrangement. You can look for him if you refuse toply. Dont rage here. However, Id like to remind you that its better to not go look for Bureau Chief Lee. Cracking the few big cases at hand is the priority. Even the news office has sent someone over to keep track and report... If you dont bring this up, I wont be that mad! Hearing about the news office, WuHuais loud voice boomed again, If it wasnt for Wu Ze that fellow meddling in between, how could two news reporters be forcefully stuffed into here? Isnt this a joke? Cracking cases isnt a childs y. There are many parts that are confidential. How can the case be cracked if there are a few reporters tagging along? Mu Chenyan heard that and knew that the fire had spread to her... Little Wu, they are just here to cover the story from the side. Of course, they wonte into contact with the confidential parts. You cant condemn the reporters too, otherwise... Alright, Chief Wang. Im not that dumb-headed. Those two reporters are already here. Ill find some work and dispatch them. While speaking, Wu Huai suddenly pushed open the door. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng stood at the corridor with their morous charm, their brows slightly knitted together as they watched the sudden emergence of the short-tempered man... Awkward! ... In front of the major crimes department captains office table. Captain Wu, officer Su Qingcheng reporting for duty! Su Qingcheng kept her cool with a straight face and maintained an excellent bearing in front of Wu Huai. There was not the embarrassment from overhearing Wu Huais remarks toward her. On the contrary, Wu Huai, who had been degrading behind peoples back, was somewhat uneasy. As if to cover up his awkwardness, he said in a low voice, You are well aware that neers arent allowed to be involved in the important cases. Moreover, youre a girl, and its dangerous for you to go out into the field. I think you can just stay in the office, help everyone with the paperwork and serve some tea. Captain Wu, I graduated from the police academy at the age of 24. Before entering the academy, I was a special force in the Capital Citys *** army (TN: the author did not reveal it) and had participated in field training. Ive achieved second-ss merit during my time in the academy, and Im a ninth-degree ck belt in Taekwando... Su Qingcheng spoke with a vibrant and forceful voice. Even Mu Chenyan was stunned. It was unperceivable that this delicate woman had experienced such a great deal! Field training? Huh! Those who were ostentatious in the troop would have no use in cracking cases in reality. I dont think the two of you could even deal with a pervert! Mockery was seen on Wu Huais handsome face. His swept his gaze at Mu Chenyan, but before waiting for him to make any personal attack at her, Mu Chenyan said right away, I graduated from the University of Londons Goldsmiths School of Journalism. During my time in uni, I worked as a volunteer and intern reporter at the BBC in the UK. In the year before I graduated, I entered the Middle East with my ssmates and became a war correspondent... She had not mentioned this to Yuan Xuan before. She went deep into the war zone for a month and evaded ISIS in the midst of artillery fire. If this was known by Yuan Xuan, he would kill her! Chapter 214 - He’s Afraid the Two of Us Would Stir up Trouble

Chapter 214: Hes Afraid the Two of Us Would Stir up Trouble

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai was in his early thirties. There was a slight simrity between his and Wu Zes looks, but they had different encounters and different life experiences, hence their temperament was naturally dissimr. Wu Ze had a little more of resoluteness on him and less of that refined and schrly air Wu Ze had. Being confronted by these two little girls one after another, Wu Huais chilly face went even darker. He leaned back into the back of the chair and mmed Su Qingchengs file on the table. Alright then. Since you twodies are that terrific, you can start with catching perverts. On the subway Line 1 running from East City to West City, we have received many reports that there were perverts going around. I think the major crimes department could transfer two people there to support our colleagues department. As Wu Huai spoke, his dark and cold eyes sized up Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng, convinced that these two little girls would not ept this task. Though Su Qingcheng had said that she had undergone special training, she was still a female soldier after all. What difference could there be? This kind of woman who was like a vase for disy, apart from being harassed, she would be incapable to fight back at the perverts. Wu Huai only wanted them to be aware of the overwhelming odds against them and to choose to retreat so that his major crimes department could regain its peace. If you cant even catch a pervert, then youll do as I say; make tea, clean up, wipe the tables, and perform the misceneous tasks in the team. The task of going out to cover stories would be assigned to others then! Wu Huai finally divulged his purpose. This all-powerful captain of the police force was still looking down on female colleagues from the bottom of his heart. How outrageous! Its up to you. Do you dare to ept this assignment? Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng exchanged nces and replied in unison, Yes! Both of them tacitly chuckled. Wu Huai snorted. He did not expect these two little girls to have such guts, and he seemed to be waiting to watch a good show. Ill wait for your good news! After saying that, he waved his hand and informed Mu Chenyan, If Wu Ze that fellow knows, he wille looking for me and cause amotion. At that time, youll have to admit that it was yourself who volunteered. Im really terrified of him. Hell bring up Grandfather once he makes a scene! Grandfathers most afraid of his Ze Ze being unhappy. His good Ze Ze... Wu Huai deliberately imitated his grandfathers tone, causing Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng to almostugh out loud. This man who looked rough and unruly seemed to be picking on his grandfathers favoritism. Wu Huai realized that he had lost his manners and quickly regained hisposure, covering it up by taking a few sips of water. Mu Chenyan looked at Wu Huais handsome, cool, and determined face, and she felt amused. Although this man was chauvinistic and had the detestable attitude of not respecting females, yet he seemed adorable at this time. Rest assured, Big Brother Wu, Wu Ze wont find out. Mu Chenyan promised and looked at Su Qingcheng. The two of them then exited Wu Huais office. Miss Mu, I shouldnt have involved you in this matter. Su Qingcheng said in an apologetic tone. No such thing. I came in with the help of Captain Wus cousin brother pulling some strings. He doesnt like people interfering with what he does and shuns reporter. Youre not to be med in this matter. A warm smile emerged on Su Qingchengs delicate and pretty face, and she said inly, I was also introduced by a friend and stuffed in here. So its two vases who hade in through the back door? The two said in unison again. They broke out inughter for a while. Both women, who were already iparably gorgeous in the first ce, were at this moment full of life. In the major crimes department that was filled with a negative air, it suddenly felt like this was back to earth. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng went to their own office and took their seats. Mu Chenyan handed a cup of water to Su Qingcheng and remarked. No wonder Captain Wu was flustered and exasperated. Having two little girls stuffed in here in one go, hes afraid the two of us would stir up trouble. Chapter 215 - The West Hill Wealthy Suburb Was Indeed Quite Remote

Chapter 215: The West Hill Wealthy Suburb Was Indeed Quite Remote

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng pursed her lips and smiled. It was as if she could not open up while chatting with others. Mu Chenyan felt that Su Qingcheng was probably a cold person, or that she was deliberately concealing her true nature by being indifferent to others. Miss Su... You can just call me Qingcheng, and Ill call you Chenyan. Mu Chenyan was stunned for a moment before smiling faintly and replied, Alright, Qingcheng, lets get into action tomorrow. Ill wait for you at Line 1 station near the museum. Su Qingcheng still felt a little uneasy, and she said, How about I go there by myself to catch a few perverts and report back? Its better if you dont go, in case you encounter any danger... If theres a danger, I know youll protect me. Mu Chenyan smiled and convinced Su Qingcheng, You might not seed if you go on your own. Even though youre also a pretty sister, your looks are overly righteous. One look at you, and its obvious that you practice martial arts. Those borers would only watch from afar and dare not approach you, so why dont I be the bait instead? Speaking of which, it was not known if this was considered as entrapment, but Mu Chenyan looked at Su Qingcheng with gleaming eyes after she had finished. Qingcheng hesitated still. If theres a danger, do you have a boyfriend? Will he mind? Mu Chenyan thought to herself, the boyfriend she was talking about should be Yuan Xuan. She pondered in her heart if Yuan Xuan were to find out that his Mrs Yuan was going to entrap a pervert, he would be concerned for sure, so how could she let him know? Mu Chenyan said determinedly, With you protecting me, I dont think Ill be harmed. Seeing that Mu Chenyan was still persisting, after some thoughts, Su Qingcheng felt that protecting a grown woman with her skills should not be a problem. Moreover, what Mu Chenyan had said made sense. Standing aside at the subway, she would look just like a Rakshasa and the perverts would have fled right in the beginning. How would she catch them then? Alright then. Tomorrow well do as you say, but well have to dimode you, Chenyan. As Su Qingcheng spoke, she unlocked her phone, and the two exchanged contacts. ... It was time to get off work. Zhang Xin saw Mu Chenyans enchanting figure, which seemed out of ce standing near the bus stop. Such a woman should be cherished dearly. How could one allow her to take the bus? He nced around and saw no one he recognized, so he stopped his car by the road and ran over to ask, Chenyan, how about I give you a ride back? Mu Chenyan looked up and saw the young mans ruddy face that was filled with a little anticipation and a little shyness. She did not know whether tough or to cry. She thought about those luxurious cars in the Yuan Family and decided that she should get a low-key car as soon as possible to avoid giving others the opportunity to offer her a ride... Mu Chenyan kept her manners, and she smiled lightly. Two shallow dimples appeared on her fair face, and her voice was pleasant to the ears. Senior, Ill just take the subway. The ce where I live is rather remote. Mmm, the West Hill wealthy suburb is indeed quite remote. Zhang Xin was not convinced. He pointed to his car by the road and smilingly said, Youve forgotten that were driving a government vehicle. The government will reimburse us no matter the distance. Its your first day at work, so this can be considered as a small benefit given to you by the unit? Mu Chenyan did not want others to know about her rtionship with the Yuan Family, otherwise, there would be obstacles in getting along with her colleagues. She smiled faintly and expressed her gratitude to Zhang Xin. Its not that simple to ept this benefit. This morning I took the subway, and it was quicker than driving here. Its the evening peak hour now, so the road will be jam-packed. Senior better leave early. Tomorrow I have an assignment and might not being into the office. Could you help amend the beginning of the topic that Ive done today? Thanks! When Zhang Xin realized he had no chance, he did not persist but moodily bid farewell to Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan continued to wait for her ride at the bus stop. A ck Maybach sneaked up to her nearby, and a handsome man in a dark suit in the back seat was fixing his scorching gaze on that slender figure... Chapter 216 - Little Mistress Was Not Someone an Ordinary Person Could Covet Chapter 216: Little Mistress Was Not Someone an Ordinary Person Could Covet Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun also watched that young man struck up a conversation with Mistress, and he cried out in his heart. Little Mistresss dazzling mor was an extreme lethal charm to men. Moreover, Little Mistress was born in a prestigious household. Being among this pile ofmoners, she would naturally stand out. Any man, under the condition that they were not blind, would be able to perceive her beauty, hence being approached made perfect sense! That person should be just Mistress colleague? That young mans gaze was overly passionate, and he was solicitous. Any man could see that it was the sense of male hunting. Yan Juns words were just redundant. Yuan Xuans gaze was clear, his dark cold eyes gleaming with a chill as he looked at Yan Jun and remarked in a deep voice, Is there a need for you to bber? Yan Jun chuckled sheepishly and dared not speak anymore, but he chided that man who had acted recklessly in his heart. Was Little Mistress someone an ordinary person could covet? It so happened that his boss was someone extremely possessive. He lived a clean life, had zero scandals, and whatever entertainment world, fashion world, and web celebrity world could not even deal with Yuan Xuan. His germophobia was this extreme and naturally, the requirements for his wife would be high as well. He had initially came happily to take Mistress home, but he did not expect to witness such a scene. Yuan Xuan stopped in his tracks, and on his face that was without emotion, there was now a trace of gloom. Yan Jun felt the oppressive auraing from his boss in the back seat, so he secretly sighed and said, Third Young Master, do we still go and call Mistress? The bus is reaching soon. Yuan Xuan gave a depressing snort. At first, he had wanted to get down and carry that woman on his shoulders into the car. However, after having calmed down for a few minutes, he quelled the jealousy in his heart. He watched that slender figure at the bus stop, who seemed feeble and delicate, and his heart softened. The man waved hisrge hand, Go and call her over. Yan Jun obeyed the order andpliantly went over. When the woman at the bus stop saw him popping out of nowhere, she jumped out of her skin. The woman looked in the direction of Yuan Xuans car with surprise. He was not the one driving, so it was not the symbolic Koenigsegg sports car. She had also seen that Maybach before, but the car te was not a familiar one. Howe he has time toe here? Mu Chenyan recalled that Yuan Xuans grouppany was rather far from the police station. Could this man have personallye over to pick her up from work? Young Master was indeed busy, but as this was your first day at work, he couldnt bear to have you travel on the packed subway. Hence, right after his afternoon meeting ended, he pushed back his schedule and came here to pick you up. Yan Jun spoke the truth. A few of the political leaders had arranged for a dinner with Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Xuan had his secretary pushed it back and hurriedly called him to drove him here. Mu Chenyans blushed a little, and she feltplicated. After thest argument, the two of them had not really talked to another. The only exception was that after Yuan Xuan returned from thentern show, he had been pressing on her and had physicalmunication with her... The woman bit her lips and hated in her heart. She had nned to leave home early in the morning and go back at night so as to avoid the awkwardness ofing face to face with him. However, he so happened toe here and this made her feel embarrassed. Having decided to not be bothered about him, Mu Chenyan said nothing after getting into the car. Come to think of it, apart from him forcefully wanting her at night and causing her to utter those bashful sounds, she had really kept silent for a long time in front of Yuan Xuan. The man looked at her fair face, and between her brows were signs of forbearance. Her tightly pressed lips clearly meant that she was refusing to make contact with him. His emotions surged within him, and he wrapped his arm around her waist. The woman tensed up and turned her head aside, averting her gaze to not meet his. If I didnte to pick you up, do you intend to take the bus and subway back to West Hill? Chapter 217 - Yuan Xuan Lifted Her Chin, Forcing Her to Meet His Eyes Chapter 217: Yuan Xuan Lifted Her Chin, Forcing Her to Meet His Eyes Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun heard Young Masters tone, and it seemed like he did not concern himself with the fact that someone had flirted with Little Mistress. He let out a sigh of relief. It was better to just focus on the road while driving. So long as the boss did not lose his temper, and Little Mistress did not throw a tantrum, everything would be fine. Mu Chenyan struggled in the mans arms. She nced at Yan Jun from the corner of her eyes and turned to this domineering man. The expression on his face was of one exceedingly self-righteous, and his gaze was cold and gloomy. The woman knew that if she were to not give him face, throw a tantrum and have a fit at the outside, this man would swallow her up on the spot, so she could only give up struggling. You and I have studied abroad in Ennd ande across many of the prestigious people in Ennd. Although they were nobles, they too, lived their lives like themon people. Theyd take the bus or subway when they go out, and theyd carry the basket at the supermarket. Thats why I was thinking that its not a bad idea to take the bus too. Its environmentally friendly, and there are designated lines. The speed is rather quick too, so why not? When Yuan Xuan saw that she was finally willing to speak, the strength exerted from his wrist weakened a little. Thinking back to a few days ago, apart from her uttering sounds when he was making love with her, she would put on an aloof, calm, and quiet bearing at all other times. Compared to this moment, being able to have her say a few words was already an improvement. Its not that you cant, but Im concerned about you. Yuan Xuans sexy Adams apple quivered lightly, and the tone of his words was maic. The distance from here to the old mansion is too far. Besides taking the bus, you have to ride on the subway. After that, you have to walk up a short slope. Are you able to do it? That was the actual fact. Although West Hill was a wealthy suburb, the subway only stopped at a supermarket that was two kilometers away. From there to the old mansion, Mu Chenyan had to go for bike sharing... Its not that Im deliberately throwing a tantrum, but as I just started work, I dont want my colleagues to see me driving those fancy cars at home... Mu Chenyan slowed down her words. She had wanted to suggest getting a new car, but once it urred to her that this was equivalent to asking Yuan Xuan for stuff, she was unable to bring it up. Yuan Xuan understood that she wanted to keep a low profile. Otherwise, she would not have bought all themon branded clothes to rece her previous elegant clothes just for work. Then Ill buy an ordinary car for you. Whichever brand and model you like, Ill have Yan Jun look into it the first thing tomorrow. Yuan Xuan noticed her hesitation and directly made a suggestion. Mu Chenyan was stunned, after which she dropped her brows and chuckled bitterly. She did not have any savings and ie previously. As a weak woman, everything would be managed by him while she could only be grateful about it. Then, Ill thank Mr Yuan! Just choose ording to your liking. The car and I are your private property anyway. Mu Chenyans attitude was lukewarm. The slight mockery in her tone could not have gone unnoticed by Yuan Xuan. This woman was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. She might appear to be good and obedient but in reality, she was rebellious deep within. Those rash and rampant thoughts were probably like the lush greenery and were concealed in her heart. Yuan Xuan lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuans intense gaze, and she could not help but press her lips. She saw her flustered self reflected in Yuan Xuans dark pupils, and her face blushed. Seeing her shy look, Yuan Xuan suddenly exerted force in his arms, grabbed her at the underarms, and lifted her onto hisp. Just like that, Mu Chenyan was straddled on hisp. The two faced each other, their breathes intertwined as they looked into each others eyes. This act was overly flirtatious. Mu Chenyan was startled and she objected continuously, Yuan Xuan, let... let go of your hands... Mu Chenyans protest did not elicit any response. The man began to enjoy her shyness and difiture instead. He ced one hand at Mu Chenyans back so that she could not move away from him, while his other hand mped her hands down behind her back. He greedily breathed in her body scent, his gaze gluttonous and dangerous. Yan Jun was driving in the front seat. When Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuans growing desire, her body froze. A thought began to breed in her this damned man was deliberately causing her to feel embarrassed! Mu Chenyans eyes were misty. She bit her lips, and anger could be seen on her face. What are you going crazy for? Were in the car... Yuan Xuan lightly snorted, and the beam between his brows increased. Even in the car, its in my private car. Even if Im being like this, its toward my own Mistress. Im not harassing other peoples Mistress on the bus, so why not? Mu Chenyan, ... As he spoke, Yuan Xuansrge hands suddenly moved into her sweater. Mu Chenyan eximed in shock. It immediately urred to her that there was still someone in the car. Even though there was a ss separating them, she dared not allowed him to continue with his evil act. She twisted and turned in protest, while her mouth cursed and chided in a low voice to stop him. Unexpectedly, the more she squirmed, the more she aroused the mans desire to conquer. Moreover, her body was overly supple. Amid the contact and dallying, coupled with the womans unique fragrant, this narrow space became a great aphrodisiac... The first day at work and someone has already begun to think of my Little Mistress, is that so? It turns out that going out to work can get further away from me, have freedom and space, and be flirted by others? Yuan Xuan mumbled softly, his hands continued to be preupied... She indifferent and cold-hearted toward him, and there was a kind of alienation like they were drifting further apart. This dissatisfied Yuan Xuan! Was this man actually feeling jealous because of that? Mu Chenyan chuckled bitterly on the inside and unceremoniously said, Can you not be this childish? Even if I marry you, Im still not your private property... Youre mine, Little Chenyan, ever since 15 years ago. The mans gaze became fuzzy, and there was an insufferably arrogant in his tone. Even if Im your Mistress, Im not a prisoner whom you can deal with however you please. Youve got to give me the right to choose. This isnt a ce for you to be in heat... The woman was tearful and mad as she rebuked in a low voice. Alright then, I want you to give me a smile. I dont think this request is excessive at all? A beast was showing itself in Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan looked at his shameless manner and was so exasperated that she wanted to swear at him. Had not Wu Huai assigned for her and Su Qingcheng to catch a sexual offender at the subway? She should also tie him up and hand him over tomorrow! Yuan Xuan saw her hesitation and targeted her sensitive skin. His thin lips closed in, and the gentle touch from the tip of his tongue caused her to go numb and shudder. Mu Chenyan had no strength left in her to resist, and she pleaded softly, Yuan Xuan... youve won... Yuan Xuan looked up and saw the inexplicable grievance on the womans reddened face. The evil thought of ying her gradually dissipated. He had indeed been outrageously obsessed! To calm her down, Yuan Xuans warm lips pressed on hers and gently smooched non-stop, swallowing all her grievances and whimper. Maybe because the way he kissed was exceedingly tender, the small hands of the woman, who was initially resisting, now held tightly to his sleeves as she bore his plundering and pressure. Little Chenyan, Im sorry. I constantly feel that Ive been bewitched by you, and I cant control myself. Yuan Xuan kissed her and mumbled into her ears at the same time... Chapter 218 - Mu Chenyan Had No Words for This Mans Childishness! Chapter 218: Mu Chenyan Had No Words for This Mans Childishness! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The intense passionate kisssted for about half-a-century long. Yuan Xuan continued with his usual fervent manner until the woman in his arms went limp, only then did he ce her onto the seat. However, he did not retract his arms, but they remain wrapped around her shoulders. He looked down to see her slightly swelled up lips and said in a deep voice, About that pretty boy colleague of yours, have him distance himself from you. Mu Chenyan, ... Mu Chenyan lowered her head and thought for a moment before realizing who he meant by the pretty boy colleague. Mu Chenyan had no words for this mans childishness! Presumably, he had seen Zhang Xin talking to her at the bus stop, hence this man hade to dere his sovereignty? Mu Chenyans heart surged with emotions, but now was definitely not the time to reason with him. This man could be triggered at any time, and there would not be a good ending for her if he was irked. The thing was, Little Chenyan was good at having a clear view of things and could adapt to the situation... She nodded unhappily, and a thought shed through her mind if Yuan Xuan were to know that she was going to lure perverts on the subway with Su Qingcheng, she did not know if the major crimes department could still see another day. Hmm! Hard to tell! ... The next day, Mu Chenyan dressed up a little nicer. Remembering that the man at home who loved to be jealous might continue to keep an eye on her, and worrying that he might mess up her assignment, she suddenly raised the idea of driving one of the cars at home. Ill drive. Then, you dont have to purposelye over to pick me up. The man did not express his stand but went to the dressing room to change his clothes. Mu Chenyan sat on the sofa and was as quiet as a chicken. Her little mind spun about, working on how to shake this man off so that he would not mess up with her brilliant n. When Yuan Xuan was fully dressed, he came out of the dressing room and wanted to match his dark-colored tailor-made suit with a silk tie. The sentimental man suddenly tossed his tie to her. His gaze was greedy for warmth, and there was a unique pampering sense in his tone. The task of tying a tie is best to be left in the hands of Mistress. It was clearly a detestable kind of sentiment, buting from this handsome man, it was not repugnant at all. Moreover, Mu Chenyan wanted to steady him at this time, hence cooperating with him was not a problem. The womans fingers were slender. She took the tie and wind the tie to form a knot, after which she sighed softly. I dont want my colleagues to find out about my identity as the Yuan Familys Mistress, otherwise, theyll treat me differently, and itll be hard to get along well... Mistress is worried that Ill send someone to tail you? Yuan Xuans smart brains were no ordinary. Before Mu Chenyan opened her mouth, he had already perceived it all through her resentful eyes. Mu Chenyan, ... Feeling embarrassed about being found out, the woman concealed it by checking out her fine hair. Her eyes danced a little as she said softly, You wont do that, right? Yuan Xuan quietly went to the dressing room. After a while, he tossed her a key to the garage and said in a low voice, I wont interfere with your matters. You can choose any you car you want, or should I ask Yan Jun to be your driver? No, no, no. Ill drive myself. Mu Chenyan was overjoyed. When she heard that Yuan Xuan would not muddle, she was instantly put at ease. She hurriedly said, Later on, you can have Yan Jun get me a small car. The cars at home are too shy. However, Ill take one of the cars at home first. You wont have to worry about me taking the subway then. Mu Chenyan had her own ns. She thought of leaving the car at the car park near the museum and go to the subway Line 1 to wait for Su Qingcheng. Hence, would not the presence of Yan Jun foil her n? As Yuan Xuan gave his word, he sighed quietly in his heart. This woman was truly lethal when she was obedient! He was not aware of the matter that Mistress was going to do in theing days. Had he known, he would have tear Wu Huai into pieces... Chapter 219 - Come On, Pervert Chapter 219: Come On, Pervert Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Following her original n, Mu Chenyan parked her car at the public car park near the museum and paid the all-day parking fee. She then rented and cycled a dockless bike to the subway. After she had purchased the ticket for Line 1, she then informed Su Qingcheng of her location. Soon, Su Qingchengs delicate and pretty figure appeared at the entrance to the subway. She had also put on a light make-up today. This woman with her natural beauty was as charming as ever be it in a light or heavy make-up. She had worn a British-style id shirt, a pair of fitting jeans, and was in a pair of white skating shoes. Her legs were slim and slender, and she was dressed stylishly with a spot-on fashion sense. Chenyan, if luck is on our side, well be able to catch one, but if we get into a fight, you have to dodge to one side. Su Qingcheng was worried and kept telling Mu Chenyan what to do. Dont worry, Ill take good care of myself. You have to be careful too. The two talk over the countermeasures, and in ordance with the situation described in the previous reports, they determined a few stations for patrolling to and fro on the subway. As the day passed, they did not reap anything, and the two women felt a little disappointed. However,e to think of it, if the arrest was that easy, Wu Huai would not have assigned them here. He had sent them with the idea of putting them into a difficult position. After getting off work, the two said goodbye and went home. Mu Chenyan had been swaying on the subway for the entire day and was exhausted. She even almost fell asleep while taking a bath. Her limber body leaned over the bathtub, and her small hand rubbed her ears as she used another arm as a pillow. Her ck hair draped over her shoulders, and the flirtatious mark Yuan Xuan left on her snowy shoulder could be vaguely seen through her hair... When Yuan Xuan strode into the bathroom, the bathing scene of this rxing beauty was what he saw. Had his willpower not been strong, he would have been super tantalized. From the moment she came home, Yuan Xuan had noticed that Mu Chenyan seemed to be exceptionally worn out. He ordered Ah Fu to brew some nourishing soup. This woman drank two bowls and went to take a bath right away. The fact that she actually fell asleep while bathing made Yuan Xuan pondered silently in his heart were reporters so busy nowadays that she was this weary? The man who felt sorry for her mistress drew her out of the water and helped to blow-dry her hair. At the same time, he was thinking to himself whether to visit Wu Huai to lighten this womans load on the case. If she were to be this exhausted every day, how would he dare to get down to her? Usually, before it was even half an hour, this woman would beining of tiredness. If things were to go ording to the current situation, she might not even hold out for ten minutes! Yuan Xuan felt miserable. The man with a high demand was regretting a little for having made her a promised before this. Since he had agreed to allow her to run wild on the outside, he could not forbid her from doing so just because he was worried that his desires were not met. The main thing was he was afraid that due to the two years of suffering in prison, her body could not bear the strenuous work. In the near future, this was the woman who was to give birth to his baby. He has mental germophobia, so his child could only be born by this woman... Yuan Xuans heart surged with emotions, but when he heard the womans even breathing, his heart was filled with contentment. With her in his arms, that was sufficient. He needed to learn self-control! ... Mu Chenyan left early in the morning again, doing the same things like yesterday, except that Yuan Xuan had Yan Jun got her a low-key average car. She even saved RMB20 from the car park fee at the museums car park... This kind of daysted for more than a week. It was not totally without any harvest. During this time, they had caught two pickpockets and a swindler. That swindler attempted to steal a grandmothers bank card and password... The subway was truly a smaller and condensed version of the human world. These experiences thrilled Mu Chenyan a great deal. Nheless, Wu Huai really seemed to have the intention to y a practical joke on them. Logically speaking, as Su Qingcheng brought back these spoils of war, that could have been enough to prove that they were not cowards. However, Wu Huai remarked that they were supposed to catch perverts and questioned the usefulness of arresting a bunch of thieves. Su Qingcheng seemed to have taken on the challenge. Since Wu Huai would not budge, she did not relent, and catching a pervert became their top priority. The greatly anxious women finally reaped an exceptional reward on ate Friday afternoon. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng had roamed about the spot that was most reported and requested for the CCTV recordings from the relevant department. After carefully going through it, they remarked a few main spots. The two went onto the train as usual. Because there were no seats, and there were many people, she and Su Qingcheng picked a quiet corner. They had nned to make a trip back to the police station after a few more stations. After all, they had not checked in for a few days and did not know if there were any new instructions. What if Wu Huai had changed his mind and assigned them a new task? Of course, this was just an ideal thought. They did not hold any hope for that male chauvinistic Captain Wu. Mu Chenyan had not stood still for long when her body felt slightly ufortable. She had been rocking on the train for a few days, and her small body was still weak. At this time, a middle-aged man with spectacles and a bright color causal jacket looked in the direction of Mu Chenyan. Hesitating a little, the man then got up and slowly moved to this side. Mu Chenyan did not realize anything special about this man at first. After all, he was smartly dressed and carried a small briefcase, looking like a proper office worker. There were traces of exhaustion on his face, and there was nothing weird about him standing by her side. What made Mu Chenyan felt amiss started from that briefcase... The man stood behind Mu Chenyan and used the briefcase to block his lower body. When Mu Chenyan noticed that something hard was pressing against her waist, she realized that the mans briefcase was blocking her side... Mu Chenyan was suddenly aware of the object that was pushing against her! It was just that the thing that was pressed against her in the past was Little Yuan Xuan... Feeling extremely embarrassed and angry, Mu Chenyan jerked her head around and red at the middle-aged man beside. From the side view, Mu Chenyan saw that the man was putting on a straight face and smiling as if nothing had happened. It looked like this was a recidivist. He knew that there were many people around and because of the mortification, usually, when the females were harassed, they would just leave it alone, shift their body, or tolerate it. Even if they were to make a police report after the incident, there was no evidence, and he did not cause any harm, hence the police would not bother to pursue the matter. After all, it was not a rape case... Ive waited for a few days, and its you Ive been waiting for! Come on, pervert! Mu Chenyan tried hard to cool herself down. She shifted her body and changed to another position. The man assumed that Mu Chenyan was protesting quietly like the usual girls he hade across. Sometimes, they would move from one end to another end of the car. If it was the girl of his taste, he would follow from behind, until he was contented... If this man met a girl in revealing clothes, he would very quickly be fulfilled, hence, this man loved summer the most... Mu Chenyan suppressed the feeling of disgust and found the best angle to stand at. That man really came over again. This females attractiveness was ranked the best among the girls whom he had assaulted. Though she was rather lean, from every point of view, it seemed that the touch would not be less remarkable. The man, emboldened by his sexual urge, gradually became rampant. He nced around and observed that besides a few young people who were glued to their phones, there were only sleepy office workers, those who were on business trips, and those who were bringing their kids along to travel. No one would notice this vile scene. Hence, the man took another step and stuck close to Mu Chenyan. This time, he even took further actions. One hand continued to use the briefcase to obscure their private part, while another hand reached out toward Mu Chenyans buttocks. Chapter 220 - Waiting to Eat Melon Seeds Chapter 220: Waiting to Eat Melon Seeds Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion At this time, Su Qingcheng, who was at a side, noticed that Mu Chenyans expression was amiss. She warily looked at the man standing behind Mu Chenyan. The straight-faced man seemed to be enjoying himself, and there was an unusual redness on his face... Suddenly, Mu Chenyan jerked around andnded a p on the mans face. The woman angrily chided, Scumbag! The man was stunned by Mu Chenyans p. All the sleepy people in the car was immediately awakened by that smack. The air in the subway was already poorly ventted, and the people were worn out under the pressure of the fast pace life. They were all stirred up and felt uneasy at the sound of that brawl. Those who knew nothing about what was really going on had their phones faced this side, feeling impatient yet anticipating the development of events. They were putting on a melon-eating look. (TN: a Chinese term. Melon-eating group refers to the people who were unaware of the truth and were just waiting to watch the unfolding of events;http:/nguage.chinadaily/2016-11/07/content_27294469.htm) Being pped by Mu Chenyan, the man was embarrassed and angrily rebuked, B*tch, why did you smack others without any reason? While speaking, that man reached out to grab Mu Chenyan. Thinking that he could not be smacked for no reason, he reprimanded angrily, Are you crazy? Did I offend you, so that you have to hit me? Su Qingcheng stepped forward and mped onto that mans outstretched hand, ring at him. The man was startled and could not make sense of the situation for a moment. Su Qingcheng gave off an oppressive aura, unlike that weak woman. Mu Chenyan had, at this time, quickly hid behind Su Qingcheng. Her fair face was secretly breaking out in cold sweat. One had to admit that Little Chenyan really knew how to ess the situation well, fleeing after giving a smack. Otherwise, the man would have torn her apart. Of course, if Su Qingcheng had not kept guard by the side, she would not have dared to do it too... Su Qingcheng coldly sneered and said inly, Why did she hit you, dont you know? The man muttered in his heart this chick actually had a helper. Had theye prepared? The two women stood together, disying the perfect beauty of strength and gentleness. One was lovely, while another had a valiant and formidable feminine air. The entire car felt that the world had lost its brilliant colors, and these two women, who seemed to have a powerful backing, had instantly dimmed the re of that arrogant man. He tidied his clothes and disyed a righteous look, chiding scornfully, Lunatics who forgot their meds when they left home in the morning! I wont concern myself with you. My station is here next. While speaking, he paced toward the door, ready to flee the moment the car reached the station. In the past, whenever there was simr resistance, he would do as such. Those girls would do nothing more after berating him. Unfortunately, the women he came across today were Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan! Want to leave? Su Qingcheng coldly snorted, her calm gaze overpowering. Im afraid you wont be able to do so today. The man bit her head off andmbasted, On what basis? Who are you girls? Arent you yourself clear on what basis? Just now, regarding what you had done to thisdy here, have you forgotten about it this quickly? Su Qingcheng spoke in a leisure manner. Those melon-eating people instantly understood that the pretty little beauty had encountered a pervert! Seeing that he had been exposed, the man decided to simply shed all pretenses and turned brazen. Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, how can you prove that Ive touched her? There are so many people in the car. Rubbing against each other is nothing umon! If you think that youre pretty and are afraid of being harassed by men, then dont take the subway. Just find a rich man to provide for you, and you can drive a luxurious car every day! This man seemed polite on the outside, but he was no less inferior to a vige shrew. The people around began pointing fingers, but the man was well aware that there were hardly any of those who were brave enough to stand up to help. He was not fearful at all, and naturally, he was still wearing the expression of arrogance on his face and would not admit no matter what. At this time, Mu Chenyan, who had been hiding behind Su Qingcheng, chuckled coldly and waved the micro camera in her hand. She coldlymented, Didnt you want evidence? Here it is. The reason she tolerated it just now and did not re up but changed a standing position was to capture the process of the perverts criminal act. Recalling that disgusting act, Mu Chenyan felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. It was good that Yuan Xuan was unaware of this, otherwise, she would really be eating pork trotter tonight. Yuan Xuan would chop off this scums hand! The man noted the determination in Mu Chenyans eyes. Looking back at Su Qingcheng, her entire being exhibited a firm and unyielding aura. She was definitely not amon weak girl! The man cried out tough luck in his heart as he had most probably hit a wall today. When the subway arrived at the station, the moment the door opened, the man lunged and attempted to escape through the narrow space. A few of those melon-eating crowd was stamped by him or knocked by him, and they could not help but cursed. Su Qingcheng was already prepared. She dragged Mu Chenyan with her and dashed through the subway door. Jumping into the air, she gave a kick and caused the man to roll onto the ground. Falling, the man cried out in pain and wanted to get back up again. Su Qingcheng quickly made another leap and as shended, her knees jabbed hard into the mans shoulder de. That man heard a crackling sound and thought that his bones had shattered, and he yelped in pain. Su Qingcheng held his hands with hers and mped them behind him. Mu Chenyan passed the handcuff to her and cuffed the man. The entire process was smooth and clean. The two women worked together as a perfect pair like a string of pearl and jade. The melon-eating crowd on the scene burst out in ps. Some had wanted to watch the ending, hence they got off the train even when it was not their stop yet. When encountering such an incident, most girls would only get angry but dare not speak up. Even if they did, the public opinion would at times be sidetracked you were harassed because you dressed up too prettily; you were harassed because you wore too little; you were harassed because you were unfortunate as it did not happen to the others but to you... Hence, even if they encountered it, choosing to tolerate and keep mum about it was the choice of many people. Witnessing a pervert being taken down in person today, those girls who had experienced the same thing cheered on. Some even took out their phone and snapped pictures. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan were wearing a loose ck sweater and a dark red low-necked fashion sweater respectively. The picture of Red & ck Double Terminator Sisters Courageously Captured a Pervert became the hottest topic on Weibo in an instant. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan did not have time to show a peace sign for everyone to take pictures. They hauled the man up from the ground, waited for another subway, and dragged him in. ... The security on the subway was not the responsibility of the major crimes department. However, Su Qingcheng brought the pervert back to the major crimes department to show to Wu Huai. When the man saw that he was arrested and taken to this ce, his legs gave way, and he screamed tearfully, I only touched her a little. How did it be a major crime? Shut up! Su Qingcheng was extremely impatient. I suppose you didnt just harass one woman, right? The man was having a weeping face, Lord, I swear, Im a first-time offender! The man imed that he was a pious believer and would not lie. Su Qingcheng did not want to hear his argument. Whether youre a first-time offender or not, you can make it clear to the party concernedter. Those who had filed a report previously would alsoe to testify. In theter stage, the case would note under the major crimes department. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan took pleasure in watching Wu Huai picked up the phone and gave a call to the police in the Public Security Department to pick up their man at the major crimes department... Chapter 221 - Kidnapping a Policewoman of Luo Hai, What a Joke Chapter 221: Kidnapping a Policewoman of Luo Hai, What a Joke Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan returned to her office. Everything that happened was so exciting and thrilling, she almost felt exhausted. After all, catching this habitual offender and shutting down Wu Huai, Su Qingcheng and her would no longer need to take the subway. The happiest person to receive this news was, unexpectedly, Zhang Xin... The young man was spacey and lost after not seeing Mu Chenyan for a few days. Seeing their return, he almost jumped and pped in joy as he kept chattering to Mu Chenyan. Remembering Yuan Xuans warning, Mu Chenyan smiled bitterly as she saw Zhang Xins eagerness. She was turning on herputer while amodating her colleague, thinking of writing an article before her phone rang. It was Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan was hit with a sudden unfavorable instinct. She excused herself from Zhang Xin and picked up the call. At the same time, Su Qingcheng came out of Wu Huais office with a pale look and her own phone in her hand. As soon as she saw Mu Chenyan, she said, Were trending on Weibo... Both of them were pretty, and the headline was a hot topic of the time. Soon, the photo with them, captioned the Red and ck Justice Duo, circted wildly on the inte, and bing the news of the day... Mu Chenyans phone was still ringing stubbornly, she could almost imagine Yuan Xuans ck face on the other side of the phone... What to do? Mu Chenyan felt a sudden intense urge to run away! Su Qingcheng was still calm and collected. She muttered under her breath, Shao Yibai knew Im here as well... ... Adagio of Resonance Private Club Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai were both reading about the Justice Duos news with tensed up faces as if they were going to kill someone. In the beginning, there were only female fans who were discussing the creeper and how he was burned, but the topic slowly shifted toward the beauty of the two women who caught the creeper and upheld justice together, thanks to a bunch of straight men. There were even some obsessedizens who posted! Shut the hell up, the two chicks are mine, mine! Beep beep, anyone has their information? I wanna harass them I like the cool chick in ck, but I also like the red chick. I shall take the subway tomorrow instead of driving so I might meet them Ive already saved them as my screensaver, fight me! ... Even some female fans joined in the fight as they started posting, I wouldnt mind a hubby like this, I like my hubby in ck... Just like that, even women can be husbands! As Weibo descended into chaos, so do the hearts of the two men! It was especially so when Yuan Xuan realized how thirsty many of the fans were. He felt as if he had just swallowed a fly. His woman was back on the pedestal, what a nightmare! Shao Yibai ambted about without stopping. As a formermander of the special forces, his usual calmposure was lost. That might be because he had stuck with Su Qingcheng for so long... Your girl was with Su Qingcheng, and you dont tell me? Shao Yibai could not find anywhere to unleash his wrath, so he turned toward Yuan Xuan. Su Qingcheng had run away from his care a few days ago. Mu Chenyan knew that, but she managed to hide herpany with the runaway even from Yuan Xuan who slept beside her every night, that showed the depth of her discretion! Yuan Xuans head ached a little. Even if he said he knew nothing about it, Shao Yibai would probably not believe him as well. Mu Chenyan had be so gutsy. She pretended to go to work and write her articles for days, so much so that he even wanted to talk to her bosses for her. Who would have known that she was going to make such a huge ruckus! No wonder she looked exhausteding home every day. Her work just needs her to unt her sex appeal? How outrageous! Your woman brought Mu Chenyan to trap perverts, you didnt know that as well, or did you? Yuan Xuans eyes went dark and his lips turned upward into a clear smirk as he countered! Shao Yibai, ... The two uninformed men were still in the mood to fight in this dire times? Scoffing, Shao Yibai sank into his couch and drew a cigarette between his fingertips. His long, fair fingers were as white as porcin. As the cigarette burned, he slowly calmed down among swirls of cigarette smoke. Yuan Xuan quit smoking, so he ordered a bottle of red wine. Holding a crystal ss in his hand, he stuffed the other hand inside his pocket and stared outside the window. His expression was unreadable, his gaze was cold, and his posture was casual andzy. Even though he managed to suppress his anxiety with silence, he still felt scared retrospectively. That woman ced herself in harms way, and he knew nothing about it? Alright, tell me. What should we do now? Shao Yibai had wanted to rush over to take them home, but Yuan Xuan stopped him. Theyre at the major crimes department of the police station, we shouldnt interfere! Mu Chenyan is just a reporter, we can just take her home and I can reprimand her, but yours would definitely protest loudly. It wont be pretty if the other police came to back your woman up! Yuan Xuan analyzed and finished the red wine with one gulp. Seeing how impatient Shao Yibai was, he waved his hand lightly, Dont get antsy! As he said that, he grabbed his phone and dialed Yan Juns number, How was it? Did you manage to get to those two deathseekers? Yan Juns phone almost slipped out of his hand. He grabbed it tightly, looked hesitantly at Mistress Mu and Miss Su, then replied, I got them, were going to Adagio of Resonance now! Yuan Xuan understood that since Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng made a good team, they must have known each other. This incident was all because of Su Qingcheng. If they could make Mu Chenyane to them, Su Qingcheng would definitely follow, so that was a more solid n than Shao Yibai going over to the police station. After hanging up, Yan Jun took a long sigh before looking over to Mu Chenyan. Obviously, she knew who was the one making the call. Mu Chenyan stared at Yan Jun coldly. Su Qingcheng and her were taken away by Yan Jun and his two subordinate from the police station, that alone was enough to get her trending again the next day. Miss, can you... not look at me like that? I was just carrying out my orders... Yan Jun felt wronged. He could not turn to anyone to pledge his loyalty. He could not displease either Young Master or Young Mistress. In the future, after they had reconciled, he would still be in a pinch if Young Mistress had a bad day. What does Yuan Xuan want? asked Mu Chenyan disinterestedly. Her gaze was sharp, and her attitude made Yan Jun sweat buckets. Is Young Mistress going to force me? Su Qingcheng who had always beenposed looked anxious all of a sudden! Mistress, when you get there, just pout, wheedle, and act cute a little bit and say youre sorry. Everything will be fine, please dont fight with Third Young Master... Yan Jun pleaded and nced at Su Qingcheng warningly. He could not understand what Miss Sus situation was at all. He only knew that Mister Shao requested him to take Su Qingcheng with him at all cost, unlike his usual attitude. I dont me you! Mu Chenyan knew Yan Jun was only Yuan Xuans assistant. He could not resist his bosss orders. However, Miss Su seems to have the right to note with you! Kidnapping a policewoman of Luo Hai, what a joke! Please talk to Third Young Master and Mister Shao when you get there... I, I cant do anything... Yan Jun wore an expression that said he was being put in a difficult position while feeling ufortable under Mu Chenyans knife-like gaze. Chapter 222 - Two Males vs. Two Females Chapter 222: Two Males vs. Two Females Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Adagio of Resonance Private Club Outside the window of an elegant Japanese-styled private room was a man-made stream. The warm sun of early Spring had caused a sakura tree to blossom. The sweet scent of sakura prated the windowttice, subtly, but seductively, veiling the environment with a heady sweetness. Unfortunately, neither Mu Chenyan nor Su Qingcheng was in the mood to enjoy the beautiful sight! In front of them were two men with faces steeled into darkness, it was as though they were going to swallow them alive... The duel between the males and the females had finally reached its climax! Very good! Seeing both Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng were escorted here, Yuan Xuan waved his hand at Yan Jun, who wiped the sweat on his head before leaving the room with his subordinates. Before he had left, he gave Mu Chenyan a nce loaded with intent. Apanying Yuan Xuans clear gaze was a hint of coldness. Before his dark eyes managed to burst with fury, the clever Mu Chenyan softened her voice and suggested, Qingcheng and Yibai are finally reunited, so lets not be the third and fourth wheels here... Dodging the burning gaze, she wanted to get away! Yuan Xuan turned around and saw Shao Yibai who looked like a volcano that was about to erupt. His fiery gaze was fixed onto Su Qingcheng, who returned the look with her own cool, calm ones. Yuan Xuan thought Mu Chenyan had a point, it would be best to leave the room for Shao Yibai and Su Qingcheng to settle their issues. Follow me! Yuan Xuan began to stride away. When he passed by Mu Chenyan, he ordered with a neutral tone. Mu Chenyan nced at Su Qingcheng. Her eyesmunicated a message, Take care, be well! Su Qingcheng nodded lightly, still not giving much of a reaction to Shao Yibais zing re... It has been a good while! After Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan had left, Shao Yibai finally opened his mouth after a few minutes of silence and glowering. The mans taut body rxed, sinking into the couchzily as he looked coldly at Su Qingchengs stiff body. The more silent she was, the bigger the me in his eyes. He wanted to charge at her and tear all of her facades apart! He wanted to see if the woman in front of him had a beating heart like all other people. How was she able to be so cruel as to leaving without a message and appearing without any emotion? Shao Yibai was suppressing his own urge so it would not burst him open! Su Qingcheng had a delicate and pretty face, her features were sharp and distinct, but at the moment, she was looking back at Shao Yibai with dead eyes as she said, Indeed, its been a long while! Miss Su, shouldnt you offer your enthusiasm if youve met an old friend? Shao Yibai sprung forward and ced his arm on the womans tiny waist. His arms were firm, forcing her to be pulled toward his torso. Su Qingcheng was shocked but could do nothing to resist! Or could it be that youve already forgotten our unusual rtionship? Hmm? The mans breath was a little irregr, his husky voice sending danger signals. His lips lightly caressed her earlobe, causing her to tremor involuntarily... Su Qingcheng shrugged as she attempted to break free. However, she knew the suplexst time was just pure luck. If Shao Yibai was prepared, she would not have been able to fight him. Resistance is futile! Su Qingchengs eyes mysteriously turned red and warm liquid filled them. She turned to her side and muttered, I dont know... what rtion... unusual rtionship did we have... The first time ever in her life, she was stuttering! Under his staring gaze, Su Qingcheng blushed. Do I need to remind you, Miss Su? Hearing her obviously avoidant words, Shao Yibai asked annoyedly as he increased his strength on his hands, holding them both ever closer than before. His breath is quick and shallow, and hisrge palm pressed burningly into her waist... Su Qingcheng shuddered. She bit her lips and closed her eyes, warning him, Shao Yibai, dont make me fight you! The moment her threat was let loose, Su Qingcheng regretted it. She remembered that Shao Yibai hated threats. As expected, the mans face changed slightly as bloodlust shed through his eyes, making his handsome face look even more mysterious, shaded with goodness and badness. Su Qingcheng could smell the danger as swiftly reacted with a knee attack toward Shao Yibais waist! He seemed to have prepared as he took a step back and pivoted his torso to evade the attack. However, his hand loosened, giving Su Qingcheng an opening. She broke open Shao Yibais hold and jumped back. She made a fist with her hands and set into the counterattack stance in Chinese boxing. Shao Yibai smiled with his eyes and praised the woman in front of him Within a few years, youve improved. Speaking of which, I want to try something, see if your stamina has improved as well. You wouldnt beg me to stop after just a little while being under me, would you? Hmm? Hearing the unadulterated provocation, Su Qingcheng blushed with anger, Shameless! I forbid you from mentioning anything from before! Shao Yibai charged at her suddenly and leaped into the air,unching a few jabs her way. Su Qingcheng dodged and parried them andunched a few attacks of her own when opportunitiese! Not bad, although you still need to raise your agility. In real battles, your enemies wouldnt let you hesitate so many times! Shao Yibai managed to slip in some pointers. Not in the mood to stay in the fight, Su Qingcheng only wanted to flee. This sick bastard of a man teased and attacked her so suddenly. Su Qingcheng utilized Chinese boxing and Taekwondo andbined her hard and softbat styles. Relying on her featherweight, she managed to shift between dodging and attacking quickly. Shao Yibai could not gain on her, and he was even kicked a few times... Alright, did you really think you have the upper hand if I dont show you my true strength? After the fourth kick, Shao Yibai growled fiercely and said, I could dominate you before, I can dominate you now. Let see how you will get away from me again? As he was saying, he tightened his attacks without giving her an opportunity to strike back! The two lovers had begun fighting in this tatami-lined tea room... ... In another tea room with an identical decoration, the two was getting alongpletely differently! Yuan Xuan had no idea that there was a battle in the other room. His priority was to solve this problem who was hisdy! Come here! Yuan Xuan sat on his seat and extended his arm at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan was slightly stunned before answering, I think Ill just stand... She was in a defensive stance. The woman with a calm demeanor and a detail-oriented mind could always cause Yuan Xuan headaches! He frowned lightly, seething. She was wary of him as if he was a thief. She was already willing to be touched by perverts outside, but still, she wanted to act reserved in front of him? Mu Chenyan knew she was at fault, but she did not want to admit it. Her avoidance was also an attack. If Yuan Xuan got angry, she would be able to run away. Yuan Xuan stood up suddenly and marched toward Mu Chenyan, scaring her as she took steps back. Her eyes were filled with rage as she asked, What are you doing? She knew her man was prone to jealousy, so he had always treated her like a personal collection. However, she had disappointed him by causing trouble outside. He would never forgive her for that... Chapter 223 - Are You Done with Your Little Chili? Chapter 223: Are You Done with Your Little Chili? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She knew the man had always been the jealous type and had always treated her like a personal collection. However, she had disappointed him by causing trouble outside, and he would never forgive her for that... Mu Chenyans reaction was funny to Yuan Xuan. He ced his hand on her waist, his chin on her crown, and spoke with a clear, graceful manner, Little Chenyan, do not put yourself in harms way in the future! I was so worried... It was rare for a man like Yuan Xuan to be emotional. In most situations, he was overly calm and even cunning! During the Spring Festival, Mu Chenyan had seen the side of Yuan Xuan she had never seen, one who was ying with power and navigating between politics with ease! Usually, he was in charge of the development of Country Zs energy resources and technology. The aristocratic family of the Southeast Region was led by him, the younger generation treated him as a role model, and even the elites of the older generation would need to have some respect for him! A man like this was, at this moment, holding his Little Chenyan and purring, disying the sensibilities of a normal man. As he was talking, his breathing was uneven. Mu Chenyan pressed herself to his chest and listened to his strong rhythmic heartbeats, and hesitated. She thought he was going to teach her a lesson, but his tenderness caught her by surprise! If he was going to be rough, she could still resist. However, the gentler he was, the more panicky and flustered she was. Like a child who made mistakes, they would revolt against criticism, but might bawl their eyes out if they were treated with kindness. Yuan Xuan, I... Mu Chenyans eyes reddened as she hung her head powerlessly on the mans chest. She felt a sense of safety that she had not felt for a long time... Since the time she had heard Mu Chenwus words in the cemetery, as well as when she found out that the evidence for her court case reversal had always been with Yuan Xuan the whole time from Yuan Tian, she had been in a knot for a long time. Now that she was in his arms, all those concerns seemed to have disintegrated. She wished that time would stop so she could stay in this dream forever... Yuan Xuan held her in his arms tightly. He had no doubt that human society was filled with vileness and kept imagining what could happen if the perpetrator had be aggressive or that if Su Qingcheng did not manage to save her. This woman did things behind his back, things that had sent him into worry spells retroactively. How could he criticize her in this situation? That man, where did he touch you? In the middle of their tender reunion, he asked. Mu Chenyan was startled. Which man? You idiot! Yuan Xuan was a little mad and poked her on her forehead, That pervert in the subway! Mu Chenyan realized what happened and replied in surprise, You cant do anything there, can you? He touched my woman, why cant I do anything about it?! As he eximed, Yuan Xuan began strolling in the room. The handsome man was feeling really ufortable, unlike the gentle Third Young Master Yuan just a moment ago... Mu Chenyan frowned, her head aching! Yuan Xuan, let it go. Hes just a normal office worker. Since weve already sent him to the police, they will handle it. It wouldplicate things if you stood up, wouldnt it? Mu Chenyan was worried. If words get out, everyone would know she was part of the Yuan Family and her old well-documented case from three years ago would resurface. It was due to good luck that her colleagues did not recognize her, and she did not want Yuan Xuan to ruin that for her. Yuan Xuan gave it a thought and suddenly med Wu Huai, Did Wu Huai make you go out and catch the pervert? Mu Chenyan was silent as a cicada in winter. If she involved Wu Huai, things would only get worse. Wu Huai intended to send them away. If Yuan Xuan demanded, Wu Huai would definitely apologize and happily send them away. Mu Chenyan immediately apologized by muttering, We did it ourselves, Big Brother Wu had nothing to do with it. Flushing out the trash of society is the responsibility of every citizen, were fine, arent we, so can you stop inquiring about it? She tugged at Yuan Xuans sleeve as she requested. Mu Chenyan recalled Yan Juns words on the road. Pouting, wheedling, and acting cute was important in situations like this! Hmph, you always had excuses like that. I think youre suited to be a college counselor! Hearing her soft voice, the haze inside Yuan Xuans heart slowly dissipated as he said, I can let that go. However, if there are simr situations in the future, Ill forbid you from being a reporter. If you have to go outside like this, it would be better if you help out Yuan family business! Hearing Yuan Xuans advice, Mu Chenyan was not happy. She grumbled. I have zero business skills, are you trying to make me bankrupt Yuan Family? Wen Yas method of handling business was pretty good, you both were old friends, so maybe you can learn from her! Yuan Xuan had that idea for a while now, but since Mu Chenyan wanted to do what she was good at, he did not stop her. However, the more he let her does what she wanted, the more reckless she had be. After the fiasco this time, what could be next? Mu Chenyan took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness shed in her eyes as she said, I like being a reporter. If I have to listen to you on even this, whats the difference between that and being stuck at home? Her cheeks flushed red. Seeing her unspeakable grievance, Yuan Xuan lost his imposing stance. He tightened his grip on her andforted her. I wont impose this on you, but you shouldnt let me be worried as well. This is only a warning, you have another chance! Mu Chenyan exhaled in relief. However, she still felt a little tingle in her heart. How could she manage this in the future when she still had to investigate about Zhao Ruoxin and Shu Qinger... ... Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan exited their tea room and noticed that there were norge movements in the other room. It was strange, did the two already stopped their quarreling? Due to the style of decoration in the private club, they were using Japanese sliding doors. Yuan Xuan approached the door, knocked, and asked, Shao Yibai, do you need help? Are you done with your little chili? A scruffy voice came from inside. Were still at it! There was a faint shuffle in the room that sounds like the fight was still going on. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan shared a nce, not understanding the situation! A womans faint sniffle was heard as she cursed, Shao Yibai, you bastard... Mu Chenyan was shocked and was prepared to open the door when Yuan Xuan stopped her andughed, Miss Red Demon, did you want to save Miss ck Demon? Mu Chenyan was in no mood to joke with Yuan Xuan. She asked urgently, What is Shao Yibai doing to Su Qingcheng? Yuan Xuan smirked mysteriously and pulled his woman close to him. They were a man and a woman, like dry branches with fire. What else can he be doing to her? Shao Yibai had not been getting some action for such a long time. Now that he had gotten his hands on Su Qingcheng, he must have picked her bones clean. Mu Chenyan was even more restless at the sound of that. She hollered from the outside, Qingcheng, do you need help? Third Young Master Yuan, can you take your girl away? If you cant control her, I dont mind letting you two inside to observe! Shao Yibais became even gruffer with a hint of panting...

Chapter 224: The Puritanical Angel on the Altar Had, Once Again, Descended to the Human Realm

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Fighting with Shao Yibai was not the wise choice for Su Qingcheng! Shao Yibais grandfather was one of the founding fathers of the nation. The descendants of a famed general would definitely walk the path of bing a famed general! Up till his generation, all of his elders had been from the military. In his childhood, his father and grandfather were Shao Yibai coaches. When the other kids were ying with building blocks, he had begun his martial arts training... When Shao Yibai entered the army, he tested first in both physical examination andbat skills and was entered into the hall of fame of the military. Su Qingchengs skills were enough to handle petty criminals, but seemed frivolous to Shao Yibais trained eyes. Hearing Yuan Xuan dragging Mu Chenyan away, Shao Yibai became even more casual. After the initial bout of attacks, Su Qingcheng no longer had any strength to retaliate! At this instant, he forced her into the corner and held her. She shivered in his arms as her eyes began to water. She asked, trembling, What do you want? Shao Yibai blocked her escape with his body and pressed her arms with his own. Su Qingchengs legs were split by his knees, making them look like geckos that got tangled together on the wall. Cant you see what I want? Shao Yibai smiled evilly. Feeling his warmth, Su Qingcheng turned her face to the side! His strong jaw had been attracting attention for as long as she remembered. His eyes were seductive in a just yet wicked ways. His lips parted slightly, and his Adams apple wavered. To Su Qingcheng, the scenario waspletely scious... Shao Yibai, let me go. Just take it as weve never met before... I... beg of you... Su Qingcheng was not a woman who would admit weakness, let alone cry. However, at this moment, her eyes had gone misty. The sadness in her eyes was colored with ayer of worry, which moved Shao Yibai! Never met before? Shao Yibai was furious and asked with a low voice, You f*cking stole my heart, and youre telling me to pretend weve never met? With that said, he gripped her chin with his steely hands and lifted her face, the face that he love and hate so much! With an unknowable fear in her eyes, Su Qingcheng wanted to retreat further. However, she could not move a single inch. Looking into his furious me burning in his cold eyes, Su Qingcheng could see the sorrow he was hiding. She had done him wrong back then! That was why he could not forget her! If he only wanted her for her body, it would be easier. She could just wait until he was bored with her. However, if he was really in love, he might never have recovered from this... A cold tingle was born deep inside her heart, Su Qingcheng did not want her efforts to go to waste! She had done it, and she had hidden from him for so long. If everything were to return to the beginning, what meaning would it have for her to stay hidden for so long? Shao Yibai, the only way to minimize damage is to run! Su Qingcheng returned to her senses and said with determination, Since I have decided to leave you, I dont n to step in the same river twice. Treat our reunion today as a joke that Fate yed on us. I left without a goodbye, so think of it as Fate allowing me to formally say it to you... Shao Yibai suddenly scoffed. His handsome face turned sour, his iris contracted as he rebuffed with a hint of ferocity. What if I said no? Shao Yibai, if thats your choice, then I will say this. However I choose to leave back then, I will choose the same now! Su Qingchengs rebuttalpletely angered Shao Yibai. She meant that she would escape once again! He increased his strength on his hands and spat out, I wanna see how you would do that! When he finished, he caught her red lips with his own, parting her teeth with the tip of his tongue and driving it in... Mmph... Su Qingcheng did not expect the man to be that unreasonable. Before she could think, he had already conquered her with steps after steps! I dont want... dont want you to say something like that, Daisy! Shao Yibai traced her lips as he called her nickname softly. A soft voice and aggressive kisses, what a deadlybination! Su Qingcheng hummed as her tongue felt a little numb. He lightly bit her. She tried to resist, but every move she made was countered with a stricter punishment. Her hair was made into a mess, her lips were numb beyond sensation, and the tip of his tongue was almost touching her throat. That inch-by-inch conquest had left her breathless... Daisy, I want you... After a long moment, he let go of her lips and started on her ears. That was her sensitive spot, Su Qingcheng could not help but to moan as her cherry-colored face was kissed all over. Su Qingcheng trembled uncontrobly as she endured his passionate conquest and upation, he was no longer satisfied with a kiss, so hisrge hand made its way to her cor... No... Shao Yibai... You cant... Su Qingcheng kept shaking her head, denying his further invasion. Her eyes were watery, betraying her fear. Right now, she was no different from normal girls, going through the same horrors they have gone through in simr situations. Daisy,e, help me take my shirt off... His respiration was quick and rushed, he kept kissing her neck without stopping at one single spot as his hand began to go toward her waist... While he was doing that, he guided Su Qingcheng to do the same. Pulling Su Qingchengs hands to his waist, he coaxed, Daisy, its been so long. Do you know how much its missing you? Its been lying silently for so many years, do you still remember the passion it has for you? Su Qingcheng trembled even harder. Her breath was shallow and uneven as her hand was being led by his, unable to escape... Shao Yibai was dominated by his lust. After so many years, the Bachelor of Capital City, the puritanical angel on the altar had, once again, descended to the human realm! Su Qingcheng was held by him, trying her best to resist but failing miserably. The misfiring of them both seemed to have happened in an instant. She knew it was not right, but she could do nothing to resist it. Shao Yibai ced her on the tatami. She did not want to help him, so he unbuttoned his shirt and tugged at his belt... With the sound of the belt buckle springing open, Su Qingcheng snapped into consciousness. What was she doing? Waiting for his to sleep with her? Su Qingcheng suddenly remembered her main reason for leaving the Capital City was to avoid this man. If she went back with him right now, she might never get another chance to escape from him! At this point of her thought, she said, to his surprise, Shao Yibai, if youve had enough, can I leave now? The lusty man was taken aback slightly. His eyes turned slightly cold as he stared unmovingly at the woman with a hot flush. Smirking, Su Qingcheng said flightily, If you only want to have a few one-night-stands before you would let me go, I can cooperate. But I dont want other people to know. After all, I am already married. You, as the descendant of a famous family, wouldnt want a scandal just because you were messing around with a married woman! Shao Yibai, ... Chapter 225 - Incident at Zong He

Chapter 225: Incident at Zong He

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was still worried about Su Qingcheng, but due to Yuan Xuans obstruction, she could not just go and save Su Qingcheng. She was unhappy the entire way back. She even gave Yuan Xuan a knock to the back of his head! Yuan Xuan stayed low-profile. Sensing Mu Chenyans disgruntledness, he did not mind it and drove straight to the Hibiscus Garden. Mu Chenyan was still concerned about Su Qingcheng. After dinner, she took her phone and snuck into the third floor of the house. It was spring, the sun shone warmly in the day, whileforting breeze blew at night. After an entire winter of sleeping, those exotic nts had begun to unfurl their branches and bloomed. The moon was clean and bright as it glowed softly in the gentle night. Mu Chenyan unlocked her phone and was going to call Su Qingcheng when a text message came from her. Chenyan, Im doing fine, dont worry! Mu Chenyan exhaled in relief. She typed on her phone, Shao Yibai did not harm you, did he? After sending it out, Mu Chenyan regretted her actions a little for infringing on anothers privacy. When they had left, the soundsing from inside the room seemed suspicious, they might even have some kind of a sensual rtionship... Thankfully, Su Qingcheng was a pretty open to discussions like this. She replied, Im okay. We can only wait for what happens in the future! Hes not the kind to give up easily, so this thing between us wouldnt end so quickly. Its hard to say. Mu Chenyan understood Su Qingchengs feelings. She did not know what happened between her and Shao Yibai, but if she switched them out for herself and Yuan Xuan, it would not have ended so quickly too. Alright, see you tomorrow! Keeping her phone, Mu Chenyan looked around and saw the flowered nts that she named Hope Bamboo Basket had begun a new growing cycle. Recalling that it had been a while since herst visit, Mu Chenyan walked around in the house. The nts that Yuan Xuan were taking care of had begun to sprout. Even tropical nts like Hope Bamboo Basket had limated to Luo Hais weather. Mu Chenyan caressed the sprouts and smiled. Even nts can renew their life force, so why cant humans do the same?! ... When Mu Chenyan came downstairs, Yuan Xuan had just received a call. Something the caller told him had made his face change abruptly! It was a long while before the man replied, Let our men control the situation. Transfer the patients to the general hospital, transfer Ye Kun to military general hospital and let Third Uncle handle him. Ill be there ASAP! It was rare for Mu Chenyan to see Yuan Xuan behaving in such a way that portrayed shock, and even more so, a ferocious hatred! Mu Chenyan did not know what happened, but she had a subtle feeling that something had gone wrong. She approached him and asked lightly, Yuan Xuan, where are you going? Yuan Xuan did not speak. By the time Mu Chenyan was contemting how to ask to go with him, Yuan Xuan had already retrieved his jacket from upstairs. He caressed her shoulder as he dropped the fierceness in his eyes and said affectionately, Stay here, Ill be back really soon. Drink some milk and get some sleep! Mu Chenyan had an urge to say that she wanted to go along, but she knew it would not work the moment she saw Yuan Xuan. Seeing his back, she thought, Whos that patient Yuan Xuan was talking about? ... Yuan Xuan had yet to return even as the first sunray of the day had broken through. Mu Chenyan did not sleep well. She kept dreaming of Xi Fan recently, and the difference in the recent times, it was set in the boundless Gobi Desert full of lifeless bodies. The gradual rity of the nightmare caused her to be awake since 5 a.m. Moodily, she finished washing up, applied some light makeup, and went downstairs to have breakfast prepared by Ah Fu. Not having slept well, she did not have much of an appetite. Call Young Master and ask if hesing back for breakfast. Mu Chenyan gathered her belongings to prepare for work while instructing Ah Fu to contact Yuan Xuans cell phone. After a while, Ah Fu reported, Young Master said he wont be back for breakfast and that you shouldnt wait for him, hes still arranging things over there. Looks like it really is a huge incident, guessed Mu Chenyan. ... As soon as Mu Chenyan parked her car on thepany parking bay, she saw Zhang Xin shuffling toward her quickly. Seeing Mu Chenyan, he said excitedly, Quick, Chenyan. Something happened in Zong He Sanatorium. People from the major crimes department had already rushed over, we have to get there now! Recognizing the name, Mu Chenyans heart was pumping hard. Yuan Xuans hurrying away must have something to do with Zong He! What happened? Mu Chenyan rebuckled her seatbelt, released the hand break, and ced her hands on the steering wheel. Zhang Xin was panting. He unstrapped his camera and jabbered away. Homicide by poisoning, I heard! There were multiple victims, and theyve already locked the ce down. If we werent going with the major crimes department, we will definitely not be allowed entry. This is an exclusive news... As a professional reporter, Zhang Xin knew the value of this story like a beast smelling the blood of its prey! Poisoning? Mu Chenyan did not know why, but something told her that it had to do with the conversation she overheard from the mother-and-daughter pair from the Zhao n. Driving through the traffic, her heart was racing, and so was Zhang Xin, even though their reasons were different. Chenyan, this is our first case together, and its an exclusive. Ive never experience anything like this in the legal channel. Im so lucky... Zhang Xin was good enough a reporter to realize a cases worth. Mu Chenyans head was pulsing. Compared to the value of the news, she was more concerned about the safety of the patients! ... Zong He Sanatorium was already surrounded byw enforcement, as evidenced by Wu Huai and his forensics experts presence. Su Qingcheng was beside Wu Huai. Captain, can it be Poison Rat Qiang? Wu Huais gaze was dark and piercing. He checked out the food sampled from the sanatoriums canteen as well as other pieces of evidence collected by the forensics. He said darkly, We cant confirm if theres only one type of poison before sending it to theb! Wu Huai had never been this down before. This case was different from all the other cases. He did not know the assants motives for which they would target patients in a sanatorium? Mass poisoning was such a deplorable act of terrorism! After all, some of these patients were already pitiable enough with broken families and without a home to return. Even someone as hardy as Wu Huai was triggered! Little Su, go to the hospital with Jiang Bian in the afternoon, check out the situation over there. Little Dong, record statements from witnesses in the sanatorium. Su Qingcheng was assigned a task as well. She managed to see Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin snap some photos. The key evidence could not be broadcast yet due to their relevance to the investigation that followed, but their photos could be collected to be used after the case was closed. Zhang Xin wanted to go to the hospital, so he whispered to Mu Chenyan, Can you inform Captain Wu? Mu Chenyan knew Wu Huai would be a tough person to approach at this moment. She wanted to check out the hospital as well, but it would be more realistic to ask Su Qingcheng about it for now. Qingcheng, does the police know how to go about the investigation for this poisoning? Mu Chenyan was unnerved. Her instinct told her that this case might be orchestrated by the person behind Zhao Ruoxin or even Zhao Ruoxin herself! Chapter 226 - Can You Compare with Yuan Xuan?

Chapter 226: Can You Compare with Yuan Xuan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt that there might be important people staying in Zong He, or the one behind Zhao Ruoxin would not have pushed her tomit such an illicit act, and Yuan Xuan would not need to handle things so discreetly. Cant tell for sure! The entire monitoring system was down since two days ago. Before they could fix the system yesterday, something happened. Someone released the poison yesterday. The staff thought it was just a normal food poisoning, but as more and more people got affected, the dean was scared of negligence usation, so he filed a report! Su Qingcheng exined what she knew to Mu Chenyan. How many people were poisoned? Did you see anyone called Ye Kun? Mu Chenyan thought she remembered Yuan Xuan mentioning the name on his phone call. About twenty-seven people. I dont have a concrete answer to whether this person you mentioned was in our list! Do you know him? Su Qingcheng picked up on Mu Chenyans reaction. Nope! Im just asking! Mu Chenyan was not sure if the case had anything to do with Ye Kun. She was just making a wild guess based on Yuan Xuans response and her overhearing of Zhao Ruoxins words. Did you guys see Yuan Xuan when you were here? Mu Chenyan asked softly. Su Qingcheng was confused, Your husband? Is he here? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Xuan must have finished what he came here to do before the police could begin their investigation! As they were exchanging information, some key witnesses were transported to the police station to officially file their statements. Dean Qian was panicking. She was crying and moaned about it with a wavering voice. Who would do such a thing to those poor patients? Mu Chenyan noticed that Dean Qian was a plump middle-aged woman with a very dated hairstyle. The sanatorium was originally government-operated but was proving too difficult to maintain. Since the Yuan Family supported many charity organizations in Luo Hai, the sanatorium was transferred under the Yuan Family. With the support of the Yuan Family, the standard of the sanatorium was raised. Soon after, Zong He had be a high-quality caregiving facility, and people flocked to it due to its fame. The majority of the patients here were in their advanced-stage treatment of their mental disorders. After leaving Zong He, some of them were even allowed to assimte into society and be normal citizens once more. This incident would have destroyed Zong He Sanatorium. Not only would its reputation be ruined, many people would have be a victim of this event. Due to the sheer number of people affected, even the government began to look into this and want it to be solved as soon as possible. Mu Chenyan followed Su Qingcheng back to the police station. She typed up a draft about what happened today and submitted it to the legal channels. Due to the affected people being special families, there were no other reports avable yet. It was calm as a mill pond on channels like Weibo and Wechat. When the government had set up a joint reporting team from the news office and the major crimes department, they had put into consideration on how to handle the media. Due to private news outlets being unofficial sources, it was easy for the news they released to be twisted and cause mass hysteria. For that reason alone, they had instated Mu Chenyans position to release news from an official standpoint. Since private news outlets did not make a move, their articles were temporarily suppressed to be released after the case was solved. ... After work, Mu Chenyan returned to the Yuan Family Mansion exhausted. When she arrived at the turning at the slope, she saw the red BMW that Yuan Family assigned to Zhao Ruoxin zooming past her. Mu Chenyan had just begun using her car, a regr white Volkswagen, Zhao Ruoxin did not recognize her, but Mu Chenyan could recognize the red car. Without hesitation, Mu Chenyan turned around and followed behind the red car. The car was snaking along the winding road, but Zhao Ruoxin did not notice a white car following her from behind. Arriving at the outskirts of town, Zhao Ruoxin alighted in front of a low-profile but fancy cafe. Her brown wide leg pants and lunar-white cored shirt exhibited her extravagance and serious look. Seeing her entering the cafe scrupulously, but quickly, Mu Chenyan thought, If I followed her just like this, I would most definitely be seen. Luckily for me, I have prepared something! ... Zhao Ruoxin entered the cafe and scanned quickly, seeing her appointment in a prosaic corner. Xinxin, over here! The man could not hide his excitement as he waved at Zhao Ruoxin. Zhao Ruoxin furrowed her brows a little and strolled over unwillingly. She sat down gracefully and lit a cigarette! The man sitting in front of her was about forty-something years old. He was tasteful and well-groomed, but he could not defy some marks left behind by time, as evidenced by his thinning hair. Seeing Zhao Ruoxin lighting up the cigarette, he tried to dissuade her. Xinxin, do you think you can smoke less? Its not good for your body... Youre not my dad, why are you giving me unsolicited advice? Zhao Ruoxin interrupted rudely. Her slender fingers held the cigarette and puffed gracefully, making smoke swirl around her. The mans expression turned sour. I cant even enjoy a puff in Yuan Family. Are you trying to suffocate me by denying me that outside of them as well? Zhao Ruoxin enjoyed her cigarette with her eyes half-closed. She peered at the man sitting opposite her and continued saying, Xia Tao, I told you not to look for me. We are finished! Xia Taos pale face turned red from his unwillingness to let go. Xinxin, how could you be so cruel as to ending our rtionship like that? Ive done so much for you, and you know it. You know how important you are to me... Zhao Ruoxin exhaled a long smoke ring and smirked. She jeered without attachment, That was in the past! Now that Ive found my way into Yuan Family, how would I have any association with you? You better give up. Im only here today to have a clean break with you. From now on, do not keep calling me, and do not try to contact me through any other manners. Old Mistress would be suspicious. The only reason Yuan Family would let me stay was because they thought I have no one else! Xia Tao was not satisfied with that statement. He said pitifully, Xinxin, when we were together, you told me you like mature daddies like me. For you, Ive gone to the gym and did my best to improve my fitness just to satisfy you. I even helped to look for a source of heart... Shut up! Zhao Ruoxin lost it a little. She nced around and growled, I forbid you from mentioning this ever again! Know this, Xia Tao. At the end of the day, youre a deputy director. Our rtionship would be considered an affair! Its your fortune that I no longer look for you, so stop pestering me. Do you seriously think that I would still be into your tiny bit of influence after getting into Yuan Family? As she was talking, Zhao Ruoxin tapped the table alternatively with her index and middle fingers, her face was lined with ayer of callousness. I may have liked men like you before, but now, I only have my eyes on Yuan Xuan! Xia Tao, do you think you canpare with Yuan Xuan? Hearing Yuan Xuans name, Xia Taos forehead was covered with cold sweat. How could hepare with the Third Young Master of Yuan Family? Chapter 227 - When Theres A Disagreement...

Chapter 227: When Theres A Disagreement...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Upon hearing Yuan Xuans name, Xia Taos forehead was covered in cold sweat. How could hepare to the Third Young Master of Yuan Family? After seeing Xia Taos reaction, Zhao Ruoxinughed. Her brows were rxed as she sighed, So this is all that Director Xia have! Since you know that you cantpare to Yuan Xuan, you should stop pestering me. Ive got no room for any other man right now! Xia Tao looked as though his soul was drawn out of his body. He limped on the back of the chair and took a deep breath before saying, Xin Xin, you should know that Im not a man who ys around. I genuinely like you! Zhao Ruoxin turned her nose up to Xia Taos confession. Her arrogant look enraged him and she bruised a mans pride. Ruoxin, arent you afraid that I might expose you to the Yuan Family for rejecting me so firmly? Xia Tao suddenly said and there were traces of anger in his eyes. Zhao Ruoxin had a cold look on her face and a hint of viciousness shed through her beautiful eyes. She threw the cigarette bud into the rubbish bin, took a sip of coffee and grunted, Xia Tao, if I can recall, you have a ten-year-old son in primary school, right? Xia Taos entire body trembled slightly as he did not know why did Zhao Ruoxin mention about his child! Although youre not an absolutely outstanding man, youre still a director. Besides, you also have a wife and a cute son. Of course, before that, you have a mistress like me. Youre living such a smooth sailing life! Zhao Ruoxin paused suddenly and observed Xia Taos reaction. As expected, the mans breaths were getting a little incoherent. He cared about all the things that Zhao Ruoxin said! If we have a mutual breakup now, youll have everything except for a mistress. If youre willing to, I believe that youll have many younger and beautiful mistresses. But, if you choose to go against me... Zhao Ruoxin smiled coldly while she looked at Xia Taos ghostly pale face. Then, she said clearly, I will sue you for forcing yourself against women. Ill tell the police that you relied on your status as the vice director andmitted many crimes in City C. Now that I have the Yuan Family to back me up, dont you think that I can destroy you? Zhao Ruoxin looked extremely terrifying when she gritted her teeth. Ruoxin... you... why did you be like this? Xia Tao opened his eyes widely and looked at the woman who used to lie in his chest obediently. When did she turn into a flesh-eating beast... Zhao Ruoxin smiled coldly and said briefly without any emotions, Director Xia, if possible, I think its better if we stop contacting each other! Remember, beware of your social status if you go against me. Im just a mere woman and Ive got nothing left to lose. You better think about the price that youll need to pay before making a move! ... Zhao Ruoxin and Xia Tao left the coffee shop one after the other. Then, a girl with huge curls and sunsses next to their table also stood up. She paid for her coffee and walked towards the white Volkswagen at the entrance. After inserting the key into the keyhole, Mu Chenyan took off her wig and sunsses. After watching Zhao Ruoxins car driving into a distance, she started the car and followed along. Ever since the first night that Zhao Ruoxin entered the Yuan Family, Mu Chenyan had ordered some equipment online. For instance, the pepper spray that she used on Yuan Zhe and the mini camera used to capture the perverts in the subway! Although she could not tell why she decided to do that, it was better to be safe than sorry. Unexpectedly, she ended up using all of it... ... When Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu ran over to carry her bag and coat. Then, she said secretly, Young Master is back and it seems like hes very tired. He took a shower and went upstairs to rest. Mu Chenyan nodded and told Ah Fu to prepare some lightly-seasoned dishes for dinner. She also asked Ah Fu to make some red dates and lotus seeds curd. The woman walked to the master bedroom and saw that the man had changed into light-colored casual clothing. He was resting while he leaned his perfectly slender body against the bed rest with his eyes closed and hands crossed behind his head. Even when he was exhausted, it could not hinder his extraordinarily elegant aura. Mu Chenyan moved closer and wanted to put a nket on Yuan Xuan. However, the man could sense her getting closer by smelling the vague scent on her body. Then, he suddenly made a flip and pulled her along with the nket onto the bed. Mu Chenyan eximed, You... Before she couldplete her sentence, the man pressed his warm lips onto hers and swallowed her remaining words. Mu Chenyan was still confused, but her mind melted into a puddle from his kiss. You havent sleep for a whole night... arent... arent you tired? You... Mu Chenyan tried to push the mad man above her away and she was gasping for air while she spoke incoherently. Yuan Xuan did not say anything. His eyes were bright red and it looked dangerously misty. Then, he lowered his head and continued. He moved from her lips to her pale neck and bit her forcefully. While he was constraining himself, she could sense the pain that he was hiding... Yuan Xuan, youre hurting me! Mu Chenyan shouted in pain. She used her tiny hands to retaliate and fought him messily. Ever since the time that Yuan Xuan lost control and raped her because of the trap that Yin Shan set, he had never behaved like that ever since! Fortunately, he was able to control himself this time. When he head Mu Chenyan moaning in pain, he rxed his grip. His eyes were misty and affectionate. Then, his bites turned into tiny kisses, but he did not miss even a single inch of her body. His possessiveness was extremely obvious! Mu Chenyan opened her mouth widely and gasped for air. Her face was red and her heart was pounding. Then, she looked at Yuan Xuan with her misty and terrified eyes while murmuring, Yuan Xuan, clear... clear your head... She felt that the man in front of her was different from before. Clearly, he was hiding some emotions in his heart. Therefore, he lost control of his senses and was suffering badly. Mu Chenyans calling slowly woke Yuan Xuan up and he seemed like a caged beast. He scanned through the woman under him with his burning gaze, as if he wanted to swallow her alive. After a long while, the spellbound man said with his hoarse voice, Sorry, Little Chenyan! Did I hurt you? A faint sorrow shed through his eyes and there were traces of coldness in it. Mu Chenyan witnessed all of his emotions and she suddenly felt a little pain in her heart. This man will not act this way if he was not hurt deeply. She reached her hands out to caress Yuan Xuans dark eyes and said softly, Yuan Xuan, what happened? Is it... Yuan Xuans eyes darkened and he suddenly lowered his head to kiss her, so that she could not continue asking. This time, the man was no longer dominant. Instead, he was gentle and sentimental. Mu Chenyan felt weak all over, so she put her arms around his neck and moaned softly... ... The two of them were tangled together. The sound of heavy breaths blended with the sound of skin rubbing together... Yuan Xuan ravaged her fiercely this time, up until the sky had darkenedpletely. Both of them were very keen and they lost track of time. Suddenly, they were awakened by a knock on the door. Young Master, Mistress... Ah Fus gentle voice was hearding from the other side of the door. Mu Chenyan was covered in cold sweat from the shock. She pierced her nails into the mans skin, hinting him to stop. Yuan Xuan had no choice, so he shouted at the door annoyingly with his bright red eyes, What? He did not stop moving and he was panting slightly... Mu Chenyan pressed her lips together as she was extremely ashamed! Although Ah Fu was a young girl, she was not a fool. She stunned at the door and her trembling voice sounded as though she was tremendously embarrassed, Old Mistress sent someone over to pass a message. She asked you to go to the Upper Mansion after you finish your dinner... Chapter 228 - Yuan Xuan, I Have Something To Tell You

Chapter 228: Yuan Xuan, I Have Something To Tell You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Ah Fu was a young girl, she was not a fool. She stunned at the door and her trembling voice sounded as though she was tremendously embarrassed, Old Mistress sent someone over to pass a message. She asked you to go to the Upper Mansion after you finish your dinner... Okay! That mans low voice sounded extremely irritated! When Yuan Xuan carried the woman up from the bed, it was at dusk already and the view of the room was exquisite... After cleaning up, Yuan Xuan ate a little and rushed to the Upper Mansion. The spring breeze blew onto his face and there were only a few stars in the night sky. The shadows close to the green light b stone were mottled. Under the moonlight, the mansion quieted down, but who knew how many secrets were nned behind his back. Mu Chenyan stood at the front door of the Hibiscus Garden and waited for Yuan Xuan to return. She suddenly thought of an idea and she should have told Yuan Xuan everything the she knew about Zhao Ruoxin! ... When Yuan Xuan came back from the Upper Mansion, he had a dark look on his face. His piercing cold gaze and his dark shadow gave off an odd sense of alienation. The two of them had just gotten off the bed and did something extremely intimate. Initially, Mu Chenyan wanted to speak to him. However, the aura radiating from Yuan Xuans entire body cause her to swallow her words. She could tell that Yuan Xuan was a little tired. His gazended on Chenyan and his adams apple bobbed in his throat. He calmed his mind and said rather affectionately, Why are you waiting here? Why dont you go to sleep? Mu Chenyans heart was puzzled. She could tell that Yuan Xuan was forcing and restraining himself despite his affectionate tone. She did not have a heart made of ss, but she felt a piercing pain at the bottom of her heart. The woman hesitated for a moment, then she mustered up her courage and said, Yuan Xuan, I have something to tell you. I think theres something wrong with Zhao Ruoxin... Yuan Xuan heard her talking about Ruoxin. He looked into Mu Chenyans eyes and remained silent for a long time. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that his gaze was getting a little too cold and she did not know if she should continue talking. While she was hesitating, Yuan Xuan spoke, Zhao Yanni is also poisoned and shes being treated at the emergency department now! As Yuan Xuan spoke, he paused and looked at Mu Chenyans beautiful face. He then continued, Its hard to tell whether Zhao Yanni is alive or not as she ate some poisonous food previously. However, she tried to sneak out secretly in the middle of the night. When she had a poisonous attack, she fainted at the mountain behind Zong He Sanatorium. They only managed to find her this afternoon. Fortunately, she only ate a little and vomitted some! Zhao Ruoxin went to the hospital to take care of her mother already. The Old Mistress told me to spend the following few days in the hospital, so I might not be able toe back and have dinner with you... Yuan Xuans words caused Mu Chenyan to be dumbfounded! Even Zhao Yanni was poisoned? ? Previously, Mu Chenyan thought that this case was rted to Zhao Ruoxin. However, if Zhao Yanni was also poisoned, this hypothesis and her spection will not make sense. Who would be able to poison their own mother? Then, she should not have told Yuan Xuan about what she heard in the garden and the information that she got from tailing Zhao Ruoxin. Okay then, you should help Ruoxin take care of her mother... Mu Chenyan said in a low voice. The feeling of disappointment and sadness slowly spread through her heart. Mu Chenyan could vaguely felt Yuan Xuans attitude towards her. It was a little strange, but she did not know why. Yuan Xuan answered her, turned around and walked into the study room. ... Silence after sex caused the two of them to feel a little awkward. To avoid another face to face conversation, Mu Chenyan slept in early. Up until the middle of the night, Yuan Xuan was still not back yet. The woman got up half-way through her sleep as she was nning to get some water downstairs. The lights in the study room were still on and there were soundsing from the room. Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Xuan was still awake in the study room, so she pushed open the door. She then rubbed her eyes and ask in a gentle soft voice, Why arent you sleeping yet? It had been a long time since Yuan Xuan smoked and the study room was covered in smoke at this moment. Mu Chenyan started coughing as she was choking on the smoke. The man hurriedly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and walked towards her in huge steps. He scolded her while he walked, Why did youe here? Be good and go back to sleep! ( Boxno vel. co m ) Mu Chenyan was surrounded by his embrace and sheined softly, I cant sleep well if youre not sleeping. I came out for some water... Yuan Xuan did not say anything. He put her onto the bed and went downstairs alone to get some water. By the time he returned to the bedroom, he saw Mu Chenyan snuggling her head inside the nket. The look on the mans face softened and he passed the cup of water to her. Then, heforted, Finish it quickly and sleep! Yuan Xuan, Im investigating the Zong He case... Mu Chenyan took over the cup and took a sip. Then, she said softly without looking Yuan Xuan in the eyes. Yuan Xuan was stunned, even though he knew that this case was ced under the major crimes department and it was impossible that Mu Chenyan did not know about it. The change in expression on the mans face was very subtle, only a hint of hesitation shed through his crystal bright eyes. He lightly pursed his lips together and said calmly, This is your job and you should do as you please. Even so, please strike a proper bnce between work and rest! Mu Chenyan was very surprised. She thought that Yuan Xuan would stop her from participating after hearing this news. It seemed like she was being overly sensitive. Yuan Xuan went to take a shower in the bathroom. Mu Chenyan started at his back and she felt very uneasy. Mu Chenyan found it even weirder when he behaved like that. ... The following afternoon, Su Qingcheng went to the hospital again to investigate on the situation along with the family members of the victims. Su Qingcheng arrived early, so she parked her car at the roadside and waited for Mu Chenyan. When the woman traveled a long distance and rushed over, Su Qingcheng waved at her. Right after Mu Chenyan parked her car and before she could speak to Su Qingcheng properly, a familiar figure drew her attention. Zhao Ruoxin parked her red BMW somewhere not too far away from the parking area. She walked out of the hospitals esctor, soothed her straight long hair and looked around. She did not see Mu Chenyan standing next to Su Qingchengs car. She wore the shades that she took out from her bag and sprayed some perfume. Clicking sounds were made when she step her high heels on the marble floor. The clicking sounds were getting further away and that woman was walking very seductively. Zhao Ruoxin most probably came to visit Zhao Yanni. From Mu Chenyans perspective, Zhao Ruoxin did not seem to be grieving. Her eyes were calm and the strong perfume that she used masked the hospitals disinfectant scent. She pulled open the cars door and put her phone on her ears. It seemed like she was briefing the person on the other side of the phone. Her expression turned from dignified to rxed. When Mu Chenyan saw Zhao Ruoxins car leaving, she was still in a daze. Su Qingcheng did not know what happened, so she nudged Mu Chenyans elbow and asked, What are you looking at? Mu Chenyan came back to her senses and murmured, Nothing... ... In order to rescue this group of patients, the hospital invested in a great deal of manpower and material resources. The family members feelings were appeased. Moreover, this news was basically sealed off, so there was not any disturbance from the public. Thus, the situation in the hospital was rather peaceful. If it was not for Su Qingcheng, Mu Chenyan will definitely not be able to enter as a reporter. Mu Chenyan went to the nurses station first and found out that Zhao Yanni was staying at the intensive care unit. Even though she did not ingest too much food, she was being treated ratherte. Since a heavily poisoned individual had passed away, a depressing aura shrouded the hospitals bed-ward. Some heavily poisoned patients were still in the ICU, whereas the lightly poisoned patients were in normal bed-ward. Only those in the normal ward were allowed thepany of their family members. Chapter 229 - This Case Has Something To Do With The Members of The Yuan Family?

Chapter 229: This Case Has Something To Do With The Members of The Yuan Family?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was not someone who was very sentimental and she had seen many separations and death. In the past when she was studying abroad in the UK, she secretly went to the middle east war zone with her friends before graduation. She saw many refugees dying ruthlessly in the camp and was able to remain calm while facing death. Thus, she became a volunteer out ofpassion and kindness. Even so, when she saw the patients at the in-patient ward today, she could not control the uneasiness in her heart. It felt like she knew everything but was not able to stop it... Most of the victims were patients whoter on recovered from mental illness. Thus, the credibility of their testimonies was very low and will not have any legal effects. As the representative of the police, Su Qingcheng came tofort the victims families and to understand the situation. While she was at it, she could also find out if there were any more clues to be discovered. There were two to three people living in each bed-ward. Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan paid a visit to all the rooms and thest room that they visited was a big ward. The hospital was very crowded and there were a total of six patients in this room. Its too cruel. He was fine and was about to be discharged, but now he needs to be hospitalized again... The olddy at the bedside close to the door was looking at her husband with tears running down her face. Previously, she went there because of Zong Hes hardware conditions, but now it turned out to be a poisoning case! The two men by the bed next to it were looking at their unconscious daughter furiously. Su Qingchengforted, Rest assured, everyone. The police are now involved in the investigation and will soon give everyone an answer! The family members of the victims heard Su Qingchengs words and started sighing. Since it had happened already, they felt very helpless. Grandma, the surveince camera shows that you went to Zong He to visit your husband in the past few days. Is there anything unusual that you can still remember? Shu Qingcheng took out the record book and asked the olddy by the door. Most of the family members have gone to the police station to make a verbal report and Wu Huai assigned Su Qingcheng to track a few key targets. The olddy wiped her tears and thought, she had already said everything that she knew. Her husband wanted to leave the hospital in the past few days and she did try to convince him. Therefore, she seemed to be recalling any unusual incident that happened during that period of time. Mu Chenyan saw this, quickly took out her phone and showed the olddy a picture, Grandma, have you seen this girl going to Zong He? The olddy looked at the picture on the phone and her eyes lighted up as though she recalled something, Yes, Ive seen this girl. She went to Zong He two days before the incident. It seems like her mother lives there. She went to visit her mother and argued with her! Mu Chenyan thought that this was an unexpected reward, so she looked at Su Qingcheng in the eyes. Although Su Qingcheng did not know Zhao Ruoxin, she became extremely alerted after this sudden unexpected situation. Argued? Did you hear what they said? Mu Chenyan quickly asked. The olddy looked a little confused. Older people usually forget about the things that happened, so she had to put in more effort to recall the scene when being asked suddenly, If I can recall, her mother wanted to leave the hospital. Then, she told her mother that she will pick her up after it is done. That woman was not willing to and she pulled on the sleeves of her daughters clothes while crying... Her daughter was extremely disgusted and her tone was unbearably fierce. I found it weird at that time too! How can a daughter treat her own mother like that? So, it left a deep impression in my mind! Mu Chenyan felt as though her heart was jumping out of her throat. Could this incident be the thing that Zhao Ruoxin said? If she was really the one who ordered Zhao Yanni to poison the hospital, why would Zhao Yanni herself be poisoned? Qingcheng, when did the surveince camera break down? Mu Chenyan suddenly turned around and asked Su Qingcheng. On the 26th of March. Grandma, do you remember on which day did you see this girl? Su Qingcheng pointed at Mu Chenyans phone. The olddy lowered her head to think and went through her own phone. Then, she suddenly said in a low voice, Its the 26th of March! The day that I went, I took a picture of my old man and sent it to my son who is abroad. It is recorded here! Su Qingcheng took the olddys phone and looked at the time stated on the system record of the picture. It was indeed on that day! The incident happened on the night of the 27th of March! Mu Chenyan entire body felt very ufortable. It seemed like she was one step closer to the truth and she was feeling gloomier. Su Qingcheng dragged Mu Chenyan along and left. Then, she asked when they arrived at the parking area, Who is this girl? Why did you suspect her? Mu Chenyan smiled bitterly as it was a long story to tell. She really did feel a little puzzled when she was asked about Zhao Ruoxins status. Qingcheng, can I not say? Mu Chenyan had a cold look on her face and she was a little resistant. Then, she sat on the drivers seat wearily. As a policewoman, Su Qingcheng was naturally very sensitive. She had a persistent look on her face and she convinced her in a low voice, Chenyan, you cant hide something in this situation. This case caused a few people to die already. Even if youre not a policewoman, you are obliged to assist in solving this case and fight for justice! She pulled out Mu Chenyans car key. Then, this overly charming woman looked at Mu Chenyan with her zing eyes! Mu Chenyan had no choice. All she could do was shut her eyes and thought for a moment, If I have to say, then Ill need to start from Luo Hais old case from two to three years ago... Mu Chenyan initially did not want her colleagues to know about her past, but now that the story had yed out like this, she can no longer hide it from Su Qingcheng. Thus, she had no choice but to tell Su Qingcheng about her past bit by bit. Su Qingcheng did not expect Mu Chenyan to have been through so much. Especially when she heard about what happened in prison, it was tragic beyondpare. It was hard to imagine how a weak woman like her lived through those days. Towards the end, when Mu Chenyan was talking about Zhao Ruoxin, she might as well tell Su Qingcheng about what she found recently. Since she could not share it when Yuan Xuan, she needed someone to help her analyze the situation. After listening to Mu Chenyans story, Su Qingcheng pondered for a moment. Her delicate features seemed even more distinct and she suddenly said to Mu Chenyan, Zhao Ruoxin is indeed very suspicious! But we need evidence to prove it. The current situation does not seem hopeful. If you did not meet that olddy today, we will not have any clues in the direction of our investigation. More importantly, we wouldnt have thought about this woman. Even if we found a suspect, it is very difficult to find evidence! Firstly, the surveince camera is broken. The inte was hacked from outside and there isnt any direct evidence to prove that it is rted to this woman. Secondly, the olddy only heard the mother and daughter of the Zhao n argue. She wasnt sure if they were talking about poisoning the hospital, this is is just our spection. Even if she did it, it is likely that she might not be the mastermind behind it. Thirdly, and the most important point, her motive! There must be a motive for every case! What kind of deep grudge does this woman have with this patient for her to make such a crazy move? Mu Chenyan could not answer to Su Qingchengs series of analysis. It was true, what was her motive? Could it be that the person behind Zhao Ruoxin had a grudge with a mental illness recovering patient in the nursing home? The two women were filled with doubts but they could not figure anything out. Thus, all they could do was return to the police station. Su Qingcheng reported to Wu Huai about the situation in the hospital and did not mention the part about Mu Chenyan. She said that it was the olddy who thought of the suspect. Wu Huai heard what she said, picked up his phone and dialed a number. Half an hourter, Wu Ze rushed to the major crimes department. When he entered the door, he saw Wu Huai with a solemn look on his face and he hastily asked, Brother, you said that this case is rted to the members of the Yuan Family?

Chapter 230: It Has Something To Do With Your Bosom Friend, Third Missus Yuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai looked outside the door and led Wu Ze into his office. The prodigy of the legal industry, attorney Wu. Im sorry for calling you over when you have hundreds of important matters to attend to! It was a rare asion for such an uptight man like Wu Huai to make fun of his little brother. He even had a meaningful smile on his face. Brother, if you want to discourage me, you can tell me straight to the point! Wu Ze knew that Wu Huai had always looked down on those in the legal industry who liked to y with words. He was a man who will not give in to oppression and will revolt against injustice! Ill stop beating around the bush. You should know about the poisoning case. The detective today, Su Qingcheng went to the hospital for an investigation. Some family members of the victims heard that the adopted daughter of the Yuan Family, Zhao Ruoxin was conspiring against something with her mother! Wu Huai briefly told Wu Ze about the whole story and a hint of reluctance appeared in his eyes at the end, You should figure out that Shu Qingcheng is definitely not the one who found out about this information. It most likely has something to do with your bosom friend, Third Missus Yuan! As Wu Huai spoke, he paused and enjoyed watching his cousin brother getting embarrassed. ( Boxno vel. co m ) Wu Ze remained an elegant posture and there was a hint of a smile at the corners of his lips. Then, he said very frankly, Its very interesting how you defined Mu Chenyans status! Isnt it true? Wu Huai said in an unusual tone with a sly and casual smile, All these years, Ive never seen you pay so much attention to any woman. Now, youre using grandpa to pressure me again and again for Mu Chenyan. You even went to the city to settle a dispute and brought the news office here. You have gone through so much trouble for her! Dont tell me that you did all these just to fulfill your responsibility to take care of your friends wife!! Wu Ze smiled lightly after hearing what he said. This handsome man was born with an elegant temperament and he had a natural charming halo around him. No one could tell that he had the slightest uneasiness. Wu Zes slender long pale fingers had a very defined bone structure. He swept his fingers across the top of the table, picked up a cup of tea and started drinking. After a moment, he said, Brother has a quick mind and a pair of good eyes. Even if Im interested in this woman, I will not do anything out of the line. It seems like theres nothing brother should worry about. Wu Huai grunted and said in a low voice without raising his gaze, This case has involved the Yuan Family once again and your bosom friend knows about some insiders information. Who else can I talk to other than you? You called me over to prepare beforehand so that I can help you in case Yuan Xuan try to obstruct the investigation? Youre still fairly smart! Wu Huai said in a low and deep voice. As though the head of a bandit gang, he threw Mu Chenyans cases on the table. This girls old case from three years ago is not settled yet and she went to the prison for two years despite being innocent. The actual culprit that killed the Yuan Familys adopted daughter, Shu Qinger has not been caught yet. Now, were nning to interrogate the Yuan Familys adopted daughter. Moreover, that womans mother is also one of the victims. Do you think Yuan Xuan would just let it be? Even though Wu Huai was a crude person, as the captain of the major crimes department, he was definitely not all muscles and no brains. He was in charge of so many cases and he understood how big of an influence the aristocratic families have on Luo Hai. Since he was not close to Yuan Xuan, having Wu Ze by his side would make the investigation a little smoother. Youve sent someone to the Yuan Family already? Wu Ze thought about the woman who looked exactly the same as Shu Qinger and he was a little ufortable. At that time, Qingers death was extremely brutal. Her baby was being taken out of her body and her body was being heavily damaged. Besides that, her internal organs were also being damaged. Even Wu Ze who had worked as awyer for so long was boiling with anger after knowing how brutal and inhuman it was. Not yet. Im letting you know the situation here and Ill pass the matter with the Third Young Master Yuan to you! Wu Huai answered. In fact, youve made an unnecessary move. Yuan Xuan is not an unreasonable person who would abuse his power. If that adopted daughter is really suspicious, he will most probably not cover up for her. All youre doing is asking her over for interrogation. Its not like youre convicting her, so why are you so worried? As Wu Ze spoke, he had a hint of cold smile on his face, Could it be that even brother is afraid of him? Yuan Xuan shouldnt have frightened you to this extent! Wu Huai frowned and his face was getting a little red. He then said in an unhappy tone, Im afraid of him? Hmm, I just dont want to deal with businessmen. They are very clever. Theirwyers letter will arrive right after theyre brought to trial. You might be sitting here talking to me now, but you might be Yuan Xuans defendant tomorrow and say things like she has the rights to remain silent! As Wu Huai spoke, he looked at his cousin as though he was looking at a henchman... Wu Ze was left speechless, ... ... On the next day, Zhao Ruoxin went to the hospital at three in the afternoon to visit Zhao Yanni. She was being stopped by the police officers that Su Qingcheng brought along at the entrance of the intensive care unit. Zhao Ruoxin still had a calm andposed look on her face when she was in the interrogation room. Huai came to supervise the interrogation personally. Based on a one-sided observation, Wu Huai was indeed shocked when he saw Zhao Ruoxin. He had read through the case in the past for more than ten times. Therefore, he saw Shu Qingers picture when she was alive and after she was found dead. When Wu Huai saw her twin sister who looked so simr to her sitting in front of him, he felt extremely emotional. Zhao Ruoxin knocked her fingers on the table and answered the police officer who was interrogating her fluently with a smile on her face. This woman came prepared! Wu Huai looked at the live surveince camera in the interrogation room and Zhao Ruoxins answers to almost all of the police officers questions were perfect. It was supposed to be a sudden strike so that they could find some clues from the interrogation. What I mean by after its done refers to after her condition has stabilized, Ill get her out of the hospital. Whats wrong with that? Zhao Ruoxin smiled deeply, I think you should look for a hacker to check why the surveince camera is being hacked, instead of finding me! Besides, if you want to investigate me, you should consider my motive! Also, my mother is a victim in this case. As her family member, I would like to urge those in the police station to put in more energy in solving the case. Stop chasing after the wind and wasting time interrogating a victim! Zhao Ruoxin was very reasonable and Wu Huais head was hurting badly. He thought that a mere woman would let the cat out of the bag under such circumstances, but he did not expect her to answer so fluently. Even the police officer was dumbfounded. Were just testing her today! Wu Huai shook his head and said, This woman is indeed very suspicious. Shes not just an ordinary woman, but we cant solve a case based on our intuition. We need evidence! Mu Chenyan knew from the instance that Zhao Ruoxin arrived. Su Qingcheng looked at Mu Chenyan and saw that she had cold look on her face as she remained silent. A momentter. Captain, can the police check a persons phone call record? Mu Chenyan said suddenly. During Chinese New Years Eve, she had a phone call with a mysterious person. The other party seemed to have requested her to do something. Wu Huai looked at Mu Chenyan getting lost in her thoughts and he started walking around. After a short while, police officer Little Dong reported back, Miss Zhao requested to meet awyer! Wu Huai waved his hand, Tell her that she can find awyer but we have the rights to keep her in custody for 48hours! Jiang Bian, bring someone to the telmunicationpany and check this womans phone call record in the past two months! Wu Huai did not know why did he follow Mu Chenyans instruction. However, since they had zero clues about this case, the hacker who hacked the inte became the key person in this case. Nheless, it was very difficult to find that person. Now that Zhao Ruoxin had some suspicion, they had no choice but to follow her lead. Chapter 231 - Third Young Master Yuan, Why Make Such a Big Fuss?

Chapter 231: Third Young Master Yuan, Why Make Such a Big Fuss?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In the interrogation room, Zhao Ruoxin was informed that she would be detained for 48 hours. She was clearly very furious and she demanded to make a phone call back to the Yuan Family. Herints caused a few police officers to ask Wu Huai for help. This was exactly what Wu Huai was worried about. He intercepted her from the hospital in hopes of using the opportune moment to do a quick interrogation and avoid the Yuan Family from meddling in. He was not afraid of the Yuan Family, but without solid evidence, he would have to release her from custody after 48 hours. What more, the aristocratic families liked to involvewyers at the slightest provocation and it was very annoying! Tell her that theres no need for her to contact anyone when shes being kept under custody! Wu Huai thought that he might as well get through it despite the consequences. He decided to do things with strong measures! Zhao Ruoxins request was denied and she surprisingly calmed down. She kept her mouth shut and treated the police officers coldly. Zhao Ruoxins phone call records arrived soon after and it showed that she had phone calls with severalwork numbers. The lengths of the phone calls were rather long and very frequent. It was definite that those were phone calls that hackers made using the Inte. Even the telmunicationpany could not provide actual information and locations of the other parties. Wu Huai felt that this woman was getting even more suspicious, but the investigation got into a dead end once again. After all, they could not prove that this woman was working with hackers based on the fewwork phone calls. There would be no meaning to it even if they were to hold her custody for 48 hours. Yuan Xuan might meddle and it would make things even more difficult in the future. As they were hesitating, Little Dong reported that Wu Ze and the Third Young Master of the Yuan Family had arrived. News of Yuan Xuan rushing to the police station with Wu Ze also alerted Mu Chenyan. She did not expect Yuan Xuan to arrive that quickly. He even brought awyer and Tian Qi along... Captain Wu, Im here to pick up my people! Yuan Xuan wore a ck tailored suit and a light color shirt with refined, diamond cufflinks. The man was tall and he had an indifferent expression on his face. His tone was so calm that no one could tell if he had any other emotions. He was not angry nor irritated, but he had a natural arrogant aura. He stood up straight in the office of the third major crimes department under the crowds gaze. Mu Chenyan could see everything clearly in her office. This man was here to pick up Zhao Ruoxin! A feeling suddenly rushed into her heart During the wedding three years ago, if this man could protect her with half of the aura that he had today, she would not need to struggle to live him for the rest of her life. Mu Chenyan finally realized why she could not remove the thorn in her heart. It was not only because of the things that Mu Chenwu told her, but it was also partly due to her not trusting Yuan Xuan. In Mu Chenyans mind, she could not let go of the fact that he did not protect her three years ago and caused her to be imprisoned for two years! When she saw him picking up Zhao Ruoxin, a dreary smile curled up at the corners of the womans lips. She wanted to forget about it, but it was too difficult! Most of the people in the police station have seen the sessor of the Yuan Family. The oppressing aura radiating from Yuan Xuans body caused them to look towards their captain at the same time. Wu Huai was an old fox and he was very familiar with the ways of the world. He had suffered many hardships in this position and came into contact with many influential officials. With Yuan Xuan now rushing over, Wu Huai, who was also an outstanding member of an aristocratic family in Luo Hai, behaved modestly despite being a senior. Third Young Master Yuan, why make such a big fuss? Wu Huai changed the way he acted usually and put on a big smile on his face. He was friendly and his usual crude bandit-like behavior was gone. He then continued, We looked for Miss Zhao to understand some circumstances. Is Captain Wu done? If youre done, Ill take her away. My grandmother is very worried as she cant see Ruoxin at home! Yuan Xuan replied calmly. Despite his voice being cold with a stern tone, his piercing cold eyes contradict with warmth and modest. People were confused looking at him! Wu Huai was not a fool. It was impossible that he could not see through this mans temper behind his docile facade. The Yuan Familys Third Young Masters noble status came with an extremely huge ego. He never needed to negotiate with anyone within the boundaries of Luo Hai! Haha, wait for a moment, Third Young Master. We still need Miss Zhaos cooperation in a small matter... Weve brought ourwyer here. If Captain Wu would like to negotiate, Attorney Wu will help us settle it! Right after Yuan Xuan was done talking, Wu Huai made a soft grunt with his nose and gave Wu Ze an I knew that you were a henchman look... Wu Ze shrugged and shook his head helplessly. ... Half an hourter, Zhao Ruoxin followed behind Wu Ze with an extremely aggrieved look on her face and walked out of the interrogation room. An elegant man was sitting with his legs crossed inside Captain Wu Huais office, sipping the tea that Wu Huai made personally. The immeasurable force field generated by the two men staring at each other illuminated the dim office. Wu Huai reacted very calmly as he watched his greatest suspect being taken away as if nothing had happened. Third Young Master, Ill be frank with you today. If we find any more evidence to prove that this case is rted to Miss Zhao, we might need to trouble her toe over to assist the investigation! Yuan Xuans dark pupils contracted slightly and he had a smile on his face as usual. It was indeed a smile that allowed no toleration. I will support Captain Wu! Ill send you a huge gift tomorrow! As Yuan Xuan spoke, he nodded towards Ruoxins direction and gave her a signal to leave with Tian Qi first. Zhao Ruoxin was not willing to as she wanted to leave with Yuan Xuan. Nheless, she saw a cold rejection look on the mans face. After Zhao Ruoxin left, Wu Huais gaze suddenly turned sly and he said in an excited tone, Third Young Master has some important clues about this case? Oh? Captain Wu, when did I say that? Yuan Xuan suddenly put on an arrogant look on his face, but he still acted rather modestly. Third Young Master, stop pretending. Just know you said that you have a huge gift for me! Wu Huai smiled even more slyly and Yuan Xuan was getting a headache from watching him. The man paused for a moment and said calmly, The few hackers that you are tracing, they once hacked the system of Zhong Heng International and tried to retrieve ssified information about thepany. Therefore, they were marked by my subordinates and they found out their identities! I didnt think that they were the same batch of hackers behind this poisoning case! Wu Huai was extremely excited after hearing that, so he stood up and walked around. He rubbed his palms together and asked eagerly with bloodshot eyes, Third Young Master, do you have their address? Yuan Xuan nodded without any doubts, I wanted to catch them personally and bring them to you tomorrow. If Captain Wu can do it, then Ill just rx in joy! Okay, theres no need to trouble Third Young Master! Ill send my people there! Wu Huai immediately gave an order to his subordinates as this matter should not be dyed any further. Zhao Ruoxin had been interrogated for two hours already, so they might have escaped. Rest assured, Captain Wu. I have people watching them, so they wont be able to escape! But... Yuan Xuan paused and his gaze suddenly turned piercingly vicious. He then said in a ferocious and cold tone, These people might be involved with the Mu Family. Captain Wu, do you understand what I mean? Wu Huai was stunned for a brief moment before understanding what he meant. Then, he said with a suppressed voice, Dont worry, Ill exin to Mrs. Yuan. Chapter 232 - Why Was This Woman Displaying Irritating Expressions Every Day?

Chapter 232: Why Was This Woman Disying Irritating Expressions Every Day?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai was dumbfounded. When the cunning man saw Yuan Xuans resolute expression, he inwardly understood him somewhat. He lowered his voice and said, Dont worry, Ill solve Mrs Yuans issue. Yuan Xuan suddenly smiled faintly and his eyes darted outside. His deep and sonorous voice politely said, Thank you for your trouble, Captain Wu! ... Chenyan,e home with me? Yuan Xuan tugged at his sapphire-blue tie as he walked out of Wu Huais office. There was a warm smile on his handsome face when he looked at Mu Chenyan who was exiting the office. This was one of the rare asions when both of them encountered each other in a public ce. ( Boxno vel. co m ) Mu Chenyan looked at the clock on the wall and ran her fingers through her hair to tidy it before she quietly said, Work ends in 15 more minutes so you can go home first. Her expression was frosty while she used a professional and business-like tone. It seemed as though she was not the fascinating, enchanting, and charming woman of many postures whoid underneath him every night... Yuan Xuan understood her state of mind when he saw her indifferent expression. Although none of her colleagues were around, she was still maintaining a distance between him and herself. Alright, Ill wait for you at the parking area then! Yuan Xuan restrained his tone and kept it as gentle as possible while the pupils in his dark eyes constricted. Up to you. Mu Chenyan was feeling moody as well and clearly did not want to pay attention to him. The woman took a pile of documents to the printing room. She did not even turn her head to nce at Yuan Xuan when she ced the documents into the photocopier. It looked like this was not as simple as merely avoiding arousing her colleagues suspicion. Yuan Xuan emitted icy chills throughout his entire body. Why was this woman disying these irritating expressions every day? Mu Chenyan could always maintain herposure while attacking him. Yuan Xuans heart had been stifled in spite of the numerous things that happened these two days. He had never sarcastically spoken to her but this woman had struck first and was now throwing a tantrum? Alright, if Mistress was energetic enough to kick up a fuss, her physical stamina should not disappoint too. She should be fine once she had exercised more to exhaust herself. Yuan Xuans long legs stepped forward without stopping while a tinge of resentment formed in his heart. Mu Chenyan quietly sighed in relief once she saw that he had left. However, the distractions in her heart still made her uneasy. Huh! This man came here today to pick up Zhao Ruoxin. Was he not upied with numerous other matters every day? Did he not have his secretary, assistant, and awyer? He had gotten so many people involved for such a minor problem. When she thought of the misery that she felt when she was taken away at her own wedding, an aching sensation continuously stirred in Mu Chenyans heart although she had never felt jealous before... Ruoxin and Tian Qi had a hard time seeing Yuan Xuan walk out of the office building after they waited at the parking area for half an hour. The woman rushed towards him with quicken footsteps. A troubled look was disyed across her entire face when she said, Brother Xuan, they actually suspected me! I dont even know how I offended anyone... Yuan Xuans eyebrows were furrowed slightly when he looked at Zhao Ruoxin. Heforted her in a soft tone, Its just the polices routine procedure, dont worry about it You should frequent the hospital these few days to apany your mother more. Dont worry about these things because Im here. Zhao Ruoxin obediently nodded and repeatedly thanked him, saying, Thank you, Brother Xuan. I dont know what I wouldve done if you werent here today! Those police officers were really creating trouble on purpose when they came and interrogated me after merely listening to some rumors... Hearing herints, Yuan Xuans face was nk as his mind was not present. He gazed in the direction of the offices elevator. His heart was troubled as he kept thinking about Mu Chenyans icy manner. ... Zhang Xin finished work at 5:15p.m. Before he left, he asked Mu Chenyan if she wanted to leave together. As usual, Mu Chenyan politely turned down the enthusiastic young man, saying, You go first. Im going to tidy up the cases progress. The editor said that this case cant be swept under the carpet even if they tried to hide it so we can openly report it. Zhang Xin scratched his head, a disappointed expression shrouded his face when he thought of how Mu Chenyan was really untouchable although he had interacted with her for such a long time. She would always politely pay for the snacks that he bought for her. Both of them rarely spoke to each other aside from discussing the usual work matters. When the conversation involved her personal life, Mu Chenyan would always divert it politely. After spending time with her for several weeks, Zhang Xins heart became discouraged when he thought of how he had not discovered whether Mu Chenyan had a boyfriend or not. Furthermore, he had never seen this woman disy any superfluous emotions either. Although an extremely intelligent and icy beauty like herself did not act like a goddess, she was not merely an earthly mortal either. A woman like her who had experienced real life could not be controlled by just anyone! After another 20 minutes had passed, Mu Chenyan guessed that Yuan Xuan would not patiently wait an hour for her. She then took her backpack and prepared to leave after dawdling in the office for half a day. She had just stepped toward the entrance of the elevator when she saw another familiar figure there. Wu Ze looked as though he had waited for a long time. Seeing Mu Chenyans slim figure walking out from the side of the office with an enchanting aura, he strode over toward her. Several shrouds of smoke were still rising from the cigarette butt that the man had just only stubbed inside the ashtray at the corner of the elevators entrance. Chenyan, youre finally willing toe out! As he had not seen her for a long time, Wu Ze could not fully conceal the excitement in his tone. Huh? Big Brother Wu, why havent you left yet? Mu Chenyan was very surprised. She had been hiding from Yuan Xuan because she did not want to follow him home but she did not want to see Wu Ze waiting for her here either. I havent seen you in such a long time but since I happened toe here today, I wanted to ask you about recent developments. Wu Ze exined, his pale blue jacketplementing his refined aura. Seeing Mu Chenyan attentively gazing at him, the 186cm tall man got rather embarrassed. He had actually thought of visiting her when he came yesterday. However, when Wu Huai saw through his intentions, he reluctantly suppressed that impulse to prevent his older brother from making fun of him. He came here with Yuan Xuan today because this case involved Zhao Ruoxin and Mu Chenyan. Hence, he wanted to look for Mu Chenyan so he could understand the situation better. On the other hand, he had already openly said that he wanted to chat with her. If Id known beforehand, I wouldnt have purposely taken my time and I wouldvee down earlier instead... Mu Chenyans murmurs caused Wu Ze to stare nkly before he immediately understood that she was avoiding Yuan Xuan. Wu Ze secretly smiled. Although he was a man of noble character, he still had a selfish side. He thought of how Yuan Xuan could not seed despite having a beautiful woman toe home to and embrace every day. If he was in his shoes, he would probably not be able to restrain himself to dote on her. What happened? Have you fallen out with him again? Wu Zes polite manner made it impossible to discern the mocking tone in his voice. He had the demeanor of a neighborhood older brother. This made Mu Chenyan recall that the ce where the Mu Family previously lived when she was younger was also located in a wealthy suburb. Meanwhile, there was a person named Yang who lived in the vi beside them. After she had gotten married, the youngdy from the Yang Family ran home after fighting with her husband every day. Her young, dashing older brother from the Yang Family would console his sister, saying, Its alright. As long as Im here, I wont let you suffer. Ill teach that brat a lesson if hees here... Mu Chenyan also had an older brother. However, Mu Chenwu was 10 years older than her and had an unrestrained personality. He rarely took care of his younger sister because most of his energy was focused on fooling around with women everywhere. Conversely, Wu Ze seemed more like her actual brother instead... Chapter 233 - The Mistress Is Finally Willing to Come Out!

Chapter 233: The Mistress Is Finally Willing to Come Out!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze saw that Mu Chenyan had stered a smile on her face despite remaining silent. He did not know what she was thinking about but he merely assumed that she was avoiding the topic of Yuan Xuan. He smiled saying, It looks like Ive forgotten once again that I shouldnt always bring up the subject of Yuan Xuan. When Mu Chenyan saw that the elevator had arrived, she said, Lets talk while were walking. My cars parked beside the road. If youre free tonight, why dont you call Yuan Xuan out so we can have a meal together? Wu Ze said it in a casual manner. Since the three of them had yet to have a meal together, this was not an excessive suggestion. This was perfectly reasonable because he was Yuan Xuans friend and also Mu Chenyanswyer who handled her case that year. Mu Chenyan hesitated for a while before she quietly said, I dont feel like eating with him. Her expression was extremely cold. She easily resembled an aloof goddess when this dull expression appeared on her already dangerously enchanting little face. Wu Ze, ... When she saw Wu Zes somewhat puzzled expression, Mu Chenyan exined. Hes very busy. Didnt you see that he had already left with his little sister Ruoxin? Wu Ze secretly smiled. This was the first time he had heard a jealous tone escape Mu Chenyans mouth. Frankly, Id really like to understand Zhao Ruoxin better. Wu Ze was being honest. Despite his status as herwyer, he was also Yuan Xuans friend. Additionally, he also harbored special affections towards Mu Chenyan. When Zhao Ruoxin, who had certain close blood rtionships with Shu Qinger, appeared out of the blue and lived in the Yuan Family Mansion, Wu Ze secretly avoided her when he saw her harmless appearance after he had bailed her out just now. After they had exited the elevator, Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and said slowly, I was indeed the one who provided the police with the lead on Zhao Ruoxin this time! Wu Ze was not surprised. He nodded and said, Many of her actions were certainly suspicious. Could it be that Yuan Xuan hasnt realized? Im unsure whether he knows or not but youve seen todays situation as well. Yuan Xuan is protecting her. The incident that happened three years ago... You know about that too... Mu Chenyan was faintly choking back sobs as she spoke. She wholly swallowed back some of the words that were about to escape her mouth while a teardrop lingered at the corner of her eye... Wu Ze knew that her heart was troubled. Yuan Xuan had note forward to defend her at the first instance when that incident urred three years ago, making the matter a thorn in her heart. Chenyan, perhaps this is a painful topic in Yuan Xuans heart... Yes, its definitely a painful topic to him! Mu Chenyan could not bear to hear other people making excuses for Yuan Xuan. She continued, I was the one who deserved all of this! Mu Chenyan was finally unable to hold herself back anymore as she spoke. The gentle woman sobbed quietly, her stifled feelings thatsted the entire afternoon now turned into troubled tears. Wu Ze panicked and took some tissue paper out from his pocket and gave it to her so that she could wipe her tears. His tone was somewhat impatient when heforted her, saying, I empathize the trouble that you went through and the pain that you suffered at that time... Wu Ze who was usually an eloquent and well-known first-ratewyer had suddenly be slow-witted and inarticte now. Fortunately, Mu Chenyan was not one of those frail women who would purposely trouble other people. After crying for a short while, she realized that she had lost control of her emotions. She embarrassingly wiped her tears away and sobbed, My heart was filled with unhappiness for a long time but there was no one whom I could speak to. When I saw you today, I thought of you like my older brother because Ive always felt that we were close. Thus, I could not stop myself from crying... When Wu Ze heard her say that she felt close to him, a warm feeling spread throughout the depths of his heart for some time. He had always thought that he could be the warm male rival by a stroke of luck but he had only discovered now that he was always ying the role of her older brother instead... Wu Ze bitterly smiled for a while. However, what was going through his mind? You can think of me as your older brother since Mu Chenwu isnt here with you! Wu Ze spoke sincerely. He never had any intentions of stealing someone elses lover. It was already good enough that he could stand in for the role of her older brother. However, he could no longer fall back on that role once Mu Chenwu had returned... As he spoke, Wu Ze took thest towelette in his hand and passed it to her, saying, Hurry up and clean your pretty little face. Dont let other people think that I bullied you! Mu Chenyan stopped crying and smiled as she took the towelette. She could not help but nkly stare when she unconsciously nced in the direction of her own car from the corner of her eye. Yuan Xuans signature Koenigsegg sports car was parked right next to her own car... Yuan Xuan alighted from the sports car and strode over with his long legs. His posture was carefree and unrestrained, it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time. However, rage in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed. The Mistress is finally willing toe out! Yuan Xuans tone was low and his voice was magnificent. Meanwhile, his expression was filled with coldness while the smile on the corners of his lips did notck any hints of mocking. He had waited in the car for her for more than an hour while she enthusiastically chatted to a man with evil intentions at the exit of the elevator. Moreover, had she also been pitifully crying while telling the other party about her various troubles? Had he treated her so badly? Wu Ze fixed his gaze on Yuan Xuan and wondered how this little boy could act like a terribly pretentious prick. He did not care for his wife but took great pains for a woman who mysteriously appeared. Could it be that he could not see how much Little Chenyans heart was suffering? Why was he acting like this? Mu Chenyan clearly had not thought that Yuan Xuan had not meant it as a casual remark when he said that he would wait for her in the car park. This man had really waited for her in the underground parking area. More importantly, he had not contacted or pestered her although she had onlye out more than an hourter... You really didnt leave... Mu Chenyans face heated up as she felt especially embarrassed. I wouldnt have seen Mistress beautiful tear-stained face if Id left, right? Hmph! As he spoke, Yuan Xuansrge hands had already pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace, making the overtone of his deration of dominance extremely clear. Thats right, I previously told you to call Mu Chenyan sister-inw if you ran into her. Say it once for me to hear. These words were directed at Wu Ze. Yuan Xuan waspletely serious when he said this and did not seem like he was joking at all. Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. Wu Zes head unconsciously ached. It seemed as though this man truly had an infinite number of issues when it came to women. Wu Ze cast a nce at him. His voice was filled with contempt when he said, Hmph! You may be f*cking crazy but I wont be a part of this madness! It would be really awkward for Wu Ze to say this in front of Mu Chenyan. Nheless, he had already secretly cursed Yuan Xuan in his heart several hundred times. Is the greatwyer Wu Ze too embarrassed to say it? Yuan Xuans voice was filled with malice when he gleefully said, Whether or not you call her that, her status as your sister-inw remains. Hmph, he wanted to stand in for her brother? That was impossible! When Wu Ze heard that Yuan Xuan was clearly jealous, he faintlyughed and said, I can tell that Third Young Master Yuans mind is stillpletely sober because he hasnt drunk any alcohol! When he saw that Yuan Xuans expression had remained unchanged but was now steady and natural instead, Wu Ze coldly continued, Thus, please remember that Miss Mu is your true wife whom married into your prestigious family. The other misceneous individuals and insignificant people shouldnt even bepared to Mrs Yuan despite moving back to live with the Yuan Family. Itd be better for you to waste less of your efforts on them! As he spoke, Wu Ze strode away like a proud peacock, leaving the back of his head for Yuan Xuan to look at. Mu Chenyans mind waspletely perplexed. She was at a loss with how to deal with the two mens extremely childish behavior. Yuan Xuan loosened his tight grip on her slender waist when he saw that Wu Ze had left. When he saw Mu Chenyans gaze drifting about while a cold and indifferent expression remained on her face as she continued to ignore him, the mans own expression slightly darkened. He unhappily said, Have you not finished reflecting yet, Mrs Yuan? He took long strides towards his car as he spoke.

Chapter 234: The Man with an Aristocratic Upbringing Who Acted like a Local Tyrant

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan briefly groaned while trailing him. She walked to the front of her own little car and had just taken her car keys out before she could only hear the mans muffled voice said, Get in my car! Mu Chenyan paused before her little face turned puzzled with a tinge of adorable stubbornness. She thought to herself, What for? During her moment of hesitation, Yuan Xuan impatiently continued, Yan Jun wille and drive your carter so just get in mine! Mu Chenyan had initially thought of declining when she saw the frosty look on Yuan Xuans face. However, when she recalled the mans various mean spirited actions earlier, she merely gave up when she thought of how an obedient woman should not fight with a man. ... Yuan Xuan speedily drove his sports car and got on the elevated highway in the blink of an eye. They were not returning to the mansion. The scenery along the way waspletely different from that of West Hill. After being on the road for more than ten kilometers, Mu Chenyan could not suppress her anger anymore. She quietly asked, Where are you taking me? Dont ask! This was the first time that Yuan Xuans words wereced with anger when he spoke to Mu Chenyan. However, his attitude was lukewarm while his eyes continued looking at the traffic in front. He held the steering wheel with his distinctly-jointed slender fingers. The faint smell of pine on his body that was mixed with the scent of mint-vored nicotine and tobo was somewhat intoxicating. ( Boxno vel. co m ) Light golden hues reflected off his side profile under the setting sun while his long eyshes could not conceal the coldness in his eyes. His high nose bridge was the only part that could lighten the mood of others. That was also the part of him that Mu Chenyan previously liked the most. However, Mu Chenyan was not in the mood to be lovestruck now. Moreover, she had a temper as well. If he did not permit her to ask, then she would not do so. She offered him the back of her head in response. Both of them remained silent along the journey. As the vehicle traveled on the road, this first-ss sports car speedily whistled past the scenery in an arc-like motion. The evening mist was thick and heavy. As the final red evening glow vanished from the corners of the sky, moonlight appeared. Stars scattered about the stillness while the motley shadows of trees could be seen. Severalrge words that spelled out Liu Li Vi were written on the mansions front door that possessed an unusually imposing manner. The main part of the castle was an English-style building with a towering dignified air. Mu Chenyan had known long ago that Yuan Xuan owned this mansion under his name. This was his yground in the extremely expensive area that was Luo Hai. He had stayed here at Liu Li Vi when he previously brought Zhao Ruoxin over to sketch at Wintry Lake. Amidst the confusion, she did not know how Yuan Xuan had tricked her into quietly following him from behind. Yuan Xuans arrival caused the entire mountain vi to be busy. When the man entered the vi, the maids who were permanently stationed here surrounded him and took off his coat and hung it in the closet. Next, they brought slippers for him to change into. The man with an aristocratic upbringing acted like a local tyrant here. The kitchen had started bing busy as well. It seemed as though they had made sufficient preparations for their masters arrival much earlier. A 40 year old woman who appeared to be a housekeeper took small quick steps as she strode over to greet him. She briefly took in Mu Chenyan with a humble gaze before she lowered her voice and gently said, You must be Mistress. Sir has prepared a room on the second floor for you so please follow me. Mu Chenyan heard her call Yuan Xuan sir instead of Third Young Master or even just Young Master. It looked like this ce was Yuan Xuans realm. Over here, he was not the Yuan Familys sessor but the master of his own domain instead. Yuan Xuan ignored her and went straight to the mansions wine cer instead. As the man was fond of the bottle, drinking some red wine would probably be the best way for him to rest and recover from his fatigue after a long drive. Mu Chenyan was only in the mood to carefully take in this castle after Yuan Xuan had left. Liu Li Vi was a mansion that Yuan Xuan had bought after he returned from Ennd. It was rumored that its previous owner was called Shen and he belonged to the older generation of one of Luo Hais aristocratic families. The old man of the Shen Family had the same ranking and respected status in his family hierarchy as Old Master Yuan. He was also considered as one of Country Zs founding fathers. However, the Shen Family was ruined during his fathers generation due to certain reasons. Thus, they were expelled while the Shen Family became destitute and broken up. Hence, the old mansion fell into the governments hands. Previously, there were people who nned to involve his subordinates as well. Nheless, this exceptional mansion was never sold despite being auctioned. The reason for that was because they were worried that the members of the Shen Family who went into exile overseas would return and harass them. It was rumored that the descendants of the Shen Family had gathered numerous forces from the underworld while they were abroad. Thus, although the Shen n Mansion was certainly tantalizing, it was potentially dangerous to obtain it as well. Yuan Xuansrgest expense when he first returned from Ennd was spent on purchasing this hundred-year-old mansion from the auction house. Once it was taken care of, the previously dpidated mansion was restored to its former glory. The hall on the first floor was 10 meters high and entirely filled with 4-meter long dangling crystal chandeliers that illuminated the hall in brilliant lights. Meanwhile, the white marble spiral staircase that led to the second and third floors was decorated with decorative carved patterns while the floor was covered in marble as well. Paintings were hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor of the ascending steps. These were all masterpieces of the Renaissance period. Mu Chenyan was not well-versed in art but she was drawn to every painting nheless because their aesthetic values were far too high. There was one painting that Mu Chenyan felt like she recognized from the past. When she carefully looked at the inscription of the artists name, it wrote Shu Qinger... Mu Chenyan fixed her gaze on that painting before she became despondent. Thest time she saw Shu Qinger in Ennd was when Yuan Xuan wanted to return home to his own country. Qinger came from Italy to send Yuan Xuan off and simultaneously gave Yuan Xuan a painting to take home. The housekeeper led Mu Chenyan to a spacious bedroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor. The woman had a humble attitude when she smiled at Mu Chenyan and said, You can call me Housekeeper Liu. Hello, Sister Liu! Mu Chenyan loudly greeted her in a rxed manner. Sister Liu looked Mu Chenyan up and down again. Her heart was filled with indescribable joy when she said, Sir has such good taste! Upon hearing that, Mu Chenyan lowered her head and silently smiled. Sister Liu carefully briefed her, saying, Mistress, you can go and bath first because dinner will only be served in about half an hour. The pajamas that Sir has prepared for you have already been ced inside the closet. If its necessary, I can get Cuier toe over and attend to you? That wont be needed, Ill be fine on my own. Although Mu Chenyan originated from the Mu Family, she was not used to the extravagance of the Yuan Family. Sister Liu turned on the water in the bathroom and properly set the water temperature before she filled the bathtub with rose petals and floral essence. Inparison to the simple style of Hibiscus Garden, Liu Li Vi clearly seemed too luxurious. Once Sister Liu had left, the exhausted Mu Chenyan quickly jumped into the enormous bathtub and bathed to her hearts content. The flower petals swirled around the smooth skin and muscles of her entire body. She really loved this rose petal bath. After getting out of the bathtub, Mu Chenyan wrapped herself in a towel and found numerous sets of sleepwear in the closet. However, Mu Chenyan could not find one that was suitable despite searching for a long time. These were various types of sexy sleepwear but there were clearly too skimpy! It was so revealing that she could not even directly look at it. Mu Chenyans good mood disappeared from her heart. What in the world was Yuan Xuan trying to do? ... The man waited in the dining room for a long time. The dishes that were arranged across the entire table all contained dishes that Mu Chenyan liked. However, that woman had yet toe downstairs and the foot of the staircase waspletely silent. Seeing Yuan Xuan elegantly leaning against the back of his chair and casting a faint serene gaze towards the second floor, Sister Liu perceptively said, Sir, should I go and call Mistress over? Yuan Xuan put down his wine ss and waved his hand, saying, Ill go myself. Since he had already washed up in another room, he changed into afortable set of dark blue casual clothing before his long legs strode forward. He stepped on the white furry carpet in the bedroom as he walked inside. Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan was wrapped in a bath towel, crouching on the floor in the closet in an awkward predicament. She was muttering to herself, What the hell is he doing? How can I wear this? The pink bath towel was only wrapped up till around her chest, exposing the womans fine and smooth shoulders. Under the warm light of the closet, an enchanting glow reflected off her... Chapter 235 - He Had Actually Prepared Clothes like These for Her to Wear

Chapter 235: He Had Actually Prepared Clothes like These for Her to Wear

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The pink bath towel was only wrapped up till around her chest, exposing the womans fine and smooth shoulders. Under the warm light of the closet, an enchanting glow reflected off her... Yuan Xuan quietly leaned against the doorway and looked at Mu Chenyans embarrassed face. She could not seem to pick a set of lingerie that would cover her. He had done this on purpose indeed. Otherwise, he would not have brought her to Liu Li Vi without informing her beforehand. While Mu Chenyan was stuck in this difficult position, she suddenly noticed the man waiting at the doorway, expectantly waiting for something interesting to happen. He was smiling while harboring evil intentions. She furiously blushed and angrily stood up while tightly clutching the bath towel against her chest. Her little face was flushed when she said, Do you feel like a viin who has gotten his way? Mu Chenyan pointed at the sleepwear on the floor before she firmly asked, You did this on purpose, didnt you? After a shower, it was a habit of hers to automatically stuff the clothes that she had removed into the wash basin. Today was no exception. Thus, when she came out of the bathroom and noticed that she did not have any clothes to wear, she suddenly realized that she had fallen into Yuan Xuans trap. Youre right, Mrs Yuan! Yuan Xuan had no intention of denying it at all. There was not a single hint of embarrassment on his handsome face when he bluntly said, I certainly did it on purpose. Yuan Xuans gloomy mood slowly improved as he continued to revel in her embarrassment. His gaze could not leave the beautiful sight before his eyes for a single moment. His wifes appearance and figure were both desirable. Although she was on the skinnier side, there was still a lot to appreciate. It was not surprising that other people kept thinking about her. Hmph, it was unfortunate for them that in the end, the person who would get to enjoy this beauty was him. Mu Chenyan was so upset that her chest ached. Nheless, she adhered to her principles that a wise man would not fight when the odds were against him. She merely endured this and lowered her voice, saying, How do you expect me to wear these clothes out for a meal? Why dont you just get Sister Liu to lend me some of the maids clothes first and Ill improvise... I wouldnt like that! Yuan Xuan bluntly rejected her suggestion. He possessed the manner of a magnificent aristocratic young man but he was secretly a despicable pervert on the inside. He had actually prepared clothes like these for her to wear. Mu Chenyan was speechless. She mentally cursed him several thousand times but the signature gentle smile of a loving woman remained on her face. The woman rose and approached Yuan Xuan, saying, Ill wear whatever you like once were back at Hibiscus Garden, alright? Its inappropriate to do it here now... Since Ah Fu was the only other person at Hibiscus Garden, she could somewhat rx a bit more and allow him to behave in a reckless manner. Conversely, there were probably more than 10 people in this castle! Yuan Xuan pretended to ponder before he suddenly opened his mouth and slowly said, You wont even need this once were back at Hibiscus Garden. The woman only understood what he meant after thinking for a long time. She was so embarrassed that her face suddenly turned bright red and her earlobes heated up. She bit her bottom lip firmly while a pitiful glow stirred in her big ck eyes. She suppressed her rage and sweetly asked, What exactly do you want? There was a hint of danger hidden within Yuan Xuans smile. He could smell the scent of rose petals and floral water when he slowly approached her. Her unique womanly scent also lingered on her damp hair. He maliciously said, Wear one of these pieces downstairs and have a meal with me. Mu Chenyan inwardly wailed for a brief moment. It was over. There was no way that she could escape today, nor would she be able to keep her purity... She had to desperately fight to the end! Yuan Xuan waited downstairs for half an hour before Mu Chenyan was finally willing toe down. She had chosen a set of lingerie with a motif that was considerably more covered. It consisted of a white silk top with hand-sewn, soft white feathers and a pair of little white panties. A long white silk feather train trailed below the waist and extended towards the back. The white feathers that were sewn there were all individually threaded. The motif of this lingerie set was an unrestrained white phoenix. Her long slender legs were thoroughly exposed while her fair skin gleamed. The interior of the vi was at a constant temperature of 26 degrees throughout the four seasons of the year but she was still shivering slightly. However, one could tell that she was not trembling from the cold but because she was embarrassed. Yuan Xuan was satisfied with what he saw. He took long strides and walked towards the foot of the stairs before he elegantly reached his hand out and bowed like an English gentleman before Mu Chenyan, saying, Mistress, please enjoy your meal. Since Mu Chenyan knew in her heart that there was no way she could escape, she stopped behaving in a bashful manner. She nced at the dining room before realizing that the maids who were busying themselves there earlier hadpletely vanished. It looked like Mr Yuan did not want others to lust after his wife. Mu Chenyan rxed her stance once she saw that they were the only two people in the hall. This lingerie set really gave off a carefree look when she wore it. The aroma of the food wafted around when the dishes on the table were warmed up again. Mu Chenyan was really quite hungry now. She gave Yuan Xuan her hand before he led her to sit in front of the table. The food really suited her taste but her outfit was slightly unsuitable. Mu Chenyan simply focused on eating her food without interacting with Yuan Xuan at all during the entire course. It seemed as though she had made up her mind to give him the cold shoulder because he made her wear this outfit. Was he expecting her to smile while apanying him? That would only happen in his dreams! Yuan Xuan ate in an extremely elegant manner while asionally ncing in the direction of his wife. There was a vague smile on the corners of his lips. After dinner, Mu Chenyan looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost 9:30pm. She was so tired after running around for the whole day that her muscles ached. She rose and slowly said, Im going to rest... Yuan Xuan nodded. There was a gentle expression on his face when he said, Go then. Use the bedroom from earlier. Mu Chenyan had no idea about what this man was trying to do. An additional question escaped her lips as she asked, Do I still have to wear this to bed tonight? She pointed at the feathered outfit on her body. Did he really think that he was Emperor Taizong of Tang and that she was going to perform a dance in these feathered clothes for him? Yuan Xuan faintly smiled before an extremely sinister expression appeared on the corners of his lips as he said, I wont mind if you dont wear it. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan realized that without this outfit to cover her body, she would be... Well, that did not have to be mentioned. She returned to the bedroom and removed the long feathered outfit. She only realized after she had burrowed under the sheets that there was no phone signal in this ce. She had initially thought of asking Su Qingcheng about the case but it looked like there was no hope of doing that now. Mu Chenyan carefully listened to the movements outside and noticed that it was dead silent. Since it seemed unnecessary to wait for that man now, Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and fell asleep... Midnight Therge bed suddenly sank downwards. Mu Chenyan vaguely felt someone reaching a hand towards her. She gently murmured, Dont disturb me, Brother Xuan... This woman only called him Brother Xuan when she was half asleep. Yuan Xuan quietlyughed when he heard that. However, hisrge hands did not heed her and pulled off the pitiful piece of cloth on her body instead... That white feathered outfit made her look more like an obedient skrk rather than a phoenix... Mu Chenyan wanted to open her eyes but discovered that it was very difficult. She swiped him with her little hand and impatiently said, I told you not to disturb... Mmm... Her red lips were sealed before their breaths came into contact and intersected. She involuntarily twisted her body while trying to avoid this external encroachment. The mans kisses deepened but he was still as gentle as possible. This sensation satisfied her very much. She dully moaned, her eyes stayed shut as she quietly enjoyed it... She felt her body being heavily suppressed once the kissing was over. Mu Chenyan was barely able to open her eyes before she realized that she was directly facing the mans pupils that were filled with lust. A troubled tone could be heard when she opened her mouth and said, Im really tired... I dont want... Mistress, you dont have to move because Ill do everything. You only have to moan, understand? Yuan Xuans tone was deep and his gaze was tender but he resembled a wild beast that unintentionally exposed traces of its greedy intentions while it was hunting. This man seemed like two different people in and out of bed. Mu Chenyan feared him when he was in bed. Her heart incessantlyined but her body did not cooperate. She was instantly weakened after he teased her several times. The woman wrapped both of her arms around his neck while gentle gasps escaped her mouth... Chapter 236 - Dear Third Young Master Yuan, You’ve Really Let Your Imagination Run Wild

Chapter 236: Dear Third Young Master Yuan, Youve Really Let Your Imagination Run Wild

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan should have known much earlier that he had already harbored ill intentions when he prepared sleepwear like that for her. That much was expected! The entire night was spent with the mans thrusting motions thatpletely exhausted her. He had said that she only needed to moan but the actual situation was nothing like that. The sore feelingsted until dawn. This woman had finally exhausted all of her strength and could not get up from the bed. Early morning Yuan Xuan went out to exercise as usual. He showered after he returned and changed into a pair of casual long pants that he paired with a medium-long styled beige windbreaker which made him look spirited and cheerful. Various types of breakfast were already prepared in the kitchen. Sister Liu came over to report to him, saying, Sir, Mistress hasnt gotten up yet. Should I go and wake her? Yuan Xuan nced upstairs before he faintly smiled and said, Let her sleep and turn off the signal blocker. Sister Liu briefly responded in acknowledgement. Ten minutester, Liu Li Vi regained itsmunication signal. Unfortunately, Mu Chenyans cellphone was still turned off... ... Yan Juns phone rang. When he saw his boss honorific title shing on the screen, Yan Jun got serious and answered the call, saying, Young Master! Hows everything going? Yuan Xuan sank into the sofa and turned on theptop on the coffee table. He picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful from it before he asked his questions while staring at theputer screen. Everything is going smoothly. Captain Wu took his men to the gangsir. Hes even investigated their telmunication devices and hes going to take it back to the station to put it through technical appraisal, Wu Ze urately reported. Yuan Xuans tone was t and deep when he said, I brought Mistress to stay at Liu Li Vi these few days but we wont be returning yet. Well discuss this again once the case is almost over. You should keep a close eye on the activities in Luo Hai. Yan Jun had a panoramic view of all the signs of disturbances keeping watch over Luo Hai. Meanwhile, trouble would not arise in Zhong Heng International either because Kang Yu was overseeing it. Although he had to go into hiding with his wife for several days, that was not necessarily a bad thing. It was an opportunity as well to strengthen their rtionship and prevent her from throwing a tantrum every day because he had forced her to stay in a specific ce. Yuan Xuan hung up after giving Yan Jun his instructions. Next, he turned his head towards Sister Liu and asked, Are you sure that there was no signal within a 15km radius? Sister Liu quickly answered, Yes, Im sure. Please dont worry, sir! ... Mu Chenyans disappearance from the face of the earth got Su Qingcheng and Zhang Xin panicked. When she discovered that the hacker was caught, Su Qingcheng initially wanted to inform Mu Chenyan as soon as possible. However, she found out that other womans cellphone was out of coverage area the whole time and it ended up being turned offpletely. Those hackers had said not long after they were caught that they were instructed by someone called Mr Shadow. They went to hack Zhong Heng Internationals intr first but were unsessful, and their task the second time around was to hack Zong Hes surveinceworks. Wu Huai hurriedly dispatched people to check the bank ounts of these hackers. He discovered that there were other ounts that sessively transferred significant amounts of money to these people numerous times. The hackers only knew the other party as Mr Shadow because they only contacted each other through the phone every time while their transactions werepleted through online banking transfers. Everything else truly resembled a shadow in the sense that nothing about him hade to light at all. Wu Huais heart burned with impatience as the investigation reached a standstill. Before he left, Yuan Xuan mentioned that this might be rted to the Mu Family. However, why were the leads cut off again once they had reached this point? Moreover, Third Young Master Yuan was not contactable now and they had also lostmunication with the youngdy of the Mu Family as well. The members of rich and influential families were certainly headstrong enough to skip work just because they felt like it. Wu Huai seethed with anger while the staff in the criminal police department were as anxious as ants in a hot pan. Wu Huai suddenly realized that if this was rted to the Mu Family, the Mu Familys case would involve other financial cases. Thus, the other branches would perhaps have information on that. He sent Little Dong and Jiang Bian to probe the other departments. As expected, they found out through the information from the other branches that a secret little treasury was stolen from the mansion where the Mu Family was previously ced under house arrest. Since the prosecutor merely sealed off the mansion at that time, they did not know about the existence of this underground treasury. Thus, the outside world was unaware of the exact number of assets that were hidden inside. Wu Huais mind understood this better now. However, he was worried that the Mu Familys exiled son had returned and taken the money from this private treasury. It was highly likely that even Mu Chenyan was unaware of this treasury. The other branches had immediately contacted several of their spies on the ck market at that time. After numerous investigations, they discovered that the person who was doing these transactions in the ck market was a woman. The people in the ck market said that she was probably a youngdy of a wealthy family because she had arge number of gold bars which she used for her transactions. Upon hearing this information, Wu Huai pondered for a while before he quietly said, The person whos controlling the flow of such arge amount of money and goods is definitely someone that Mu Chenwu trusts the most. Could that mysterious youngdy be Mu Chenyan? When his colleague Captain Zhang Cheng from the public security sub-bureau heard this, heughed and said, If its Mrs Yuan, couldnt we just visit her at her home? At that time, we suspected her at the first instance as well. Later, we secretly questioned some of the pimps and they determined that it definitely wasnt her. Thus, we never dared to visit Miss Mu at her doorstep to avoid getting into trouble with the Yuan Family. Zhang Cheng spoke frankly and Wu Huai inwardly understood that. When Su Qingcheng overheard this information by the side, she interrupted, Could that woman be Feng Rao, the youngdy of the Feng Family? Mu Chenyan had previously told Su Qingcheng the whole story about the people that she came into contact with several years ago and the things that happened to her. Su Qingcheng remembered that Mu Chenyan had mentioned that her brother previously had an illicit lover named Feng Rao. Although Mu Chenyan covered up certain parts of the incident where Feng Rao told her to meet her brother in the cemetery, Su Qingcheng still remembered the name of the woman who previously argued with Mu Chenyan during the Yuan Familys banquet. Zhang Cheng had initially assumed that this was amon burry case. That year, there were numerous other simr cases like the Mu Familys where people died, got hurt, and people who went missingter returned to steal their own familys possessions. Thus, he did not handle it as a serious case. However, he had never expected that it would be linked to the Zong He poisoning case today. Captain Zhang, Im sorry to trouble you but Id like you to investigate and see if the people at the ck market can recognize if that woman is Feng Rao. ... Mu Chenyan was unsure whether there was a problem with her own phone or if Liu Li Vi was too far from the district of Luo Hai City. Since there was no signal for several days, she simply ignored it in the end and switched her phone off. Although she could no longer receive information from the outside world, it was still alright because Yuan Xuan would take her around the scenic spots during the daytime. They even went boating and fishing at Wintry Lake. The two of them wrestled in bed with all their might at night. Mu Chenyan finally discovered that this man was simply inhuman in bed... Third Young Master Yuan personally taught his pretty young wife various positions to achieve release. The man whose stamina was excessively exceptional was constantly full of demands. Moreover, the carefree and sweat-inducing love-makingpletely exhausted her, leaving her with no time to analyze the cases. Aside from Yan Jun who came over to deliver clothes while they were there, Mu Chenyan only seemed to see a few interchanging maids. Liu Li Vi was seemingly cut off from the rest of the world. Their surroundings were so quiet that the birds seemed extra careful when they flew around as well. The nts in the mountain vis garden were picked ording to Yuan Xuans preference. It resembled apletely tranquil earthly paradise that was secluded from the noisy and bustling city. Just like that, Mu Chenyan cast aside her worldly luxuries and peacefully lived a leisurely life. She was not used to it at first butter became at ease with it. Additionally, this woman had also be significantly plumper due to the care of Liu Li Vis chef. Yuan Xuan really liked her current docile manner. He half-jokingly said, I should just retire at Liu Li Vi. Youll cook and Ill fish. Welly off all the maids here so the both of us can live leisurely. When the children are on vacation, they cane over and apany us during their holidays! Mu Chenyan repeatedly rolled her eyes at him upon hearing that. She thought to herself, Dear Third Young Master Yuan, youve really let your imagination run wild! Chapter 237 - Are You Enjoying Your Vacation, Third Young Master Yuan?

Chapter 237: Are You Enjoying Your Vacation, Third Young Master Yuan?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Over at Luo Hai Feng Rao put on an innocent face when she was called to the major crimes department to assist with the investigation. She was an important youngdy of the Feng Family and although the Feng Family was not ranked any higher than the other aristocratic families, they were notmoners either. Herwyer arrived at the major crimes department after the questioning had gone on for less than an hour. This was the most stressful part for Wu Huai. He was reluctant to deal with schrs who memorizedw uses. As there was no concrete proof of the ck market transactions due to ack of surveince, thewyer was quickly able to find loopholes based on the testimonies of several ck market pimps. My client has the right to remain silent. Those people may have recognized the wrong person or they may simply be framing her because it would be impossible for Miss Feng to be involved with the ck market. Unless the police can find better evidence, my client can sue you for defamation! Thewyer who wore gold-rimmed sses spewed a pile of set phrases, provoking Wu Huai until his heart was filled with annoyance. He suppressed his anger and nearly roared, Shall we see how youll actually sue me? How dare she?! Privately, however, Wu Huai quietly reminded himself that he was a police officer, not the leader of ouws. Feng Rao became more arrogant when she saw that Wu Huai could not do anything once herwyer had reached the police station. She kicked up a fuss and said, If you dont release me within two hours, Ill ask my father to get the municipality-level leaders to make an appearance! Wu Huai had never yielded to force or persuasion but he felt that todays case was destined toe to a standstill. Before Feng Rao arrived, the police sketch artists picture that was based on the ck market pimps description allowed them to recognize that the woman making transactions at that time was indeed Feng Rao. However, they could not convict her for this crime solely based on the pimps testimony because it was still considered as ack of evidence. Nheless, one thing could be confirmed. An important youngdy of Feng Raos status was certainly not engaging inrge transactions of gold and jewelry on the ck market simply to buy several dozen Hermes bags. The person behind her who needed this money was definitely Mu Chenwu! Once he had concluded this Wu Huai went through the main threads of thisplicated affair. Mu Chenwu had trained this group of hackers for his own use. They had first attacked the Zhong Heng group that was under Yuan Xuans name to steal the things they needed. However, they were unsessful. Next, he used this group of hackers to hack Zong Hes website while coordinating both internal and external forces. They created this massacre for some unspeakable secret. Other than the motive for this crime, everything else was smoothlypiled in a rather coherent manner. It was highly likely that Third Young Master Yuan knew the motive best and kept it in his heart. Wu Huai only understood now that he had been tricked by Yuan Xuan. When Third Young Master Yuan fled with Mistress after leaving behind some information, it certainly meant that he was hiding his Little Mistress. Since Feng Rao knew Mu Chenwus whereabouts, would Mu Chenyan know as well? Yuan Xuan cunningly escaped because he was worried that his wife would be disturbed. He threw a smoke bomb before he left so that the police would not know where to start even if they wanted to interrogate him. Wu Huai thought of his cousin brother again at this moment. Wu Huai made a phone call and contacted Wu Ze because he wanted to hear the news about Mu Chenyan straight from Wu Zes mouth. When Wu Ze heard that the investigations were directed at Mu Chenwu, he instantly understood why Yuan Xuan was hiding Mu Chenyan. That wife-protecting devil probably knew long ago that the person who was orchestrating this in the background was Mu Chenwu. Thus, he strained his mind to hide his wife while making the police run in circles. You shouldnt pay attention to Mu Chenyan anymore. Yuan Xuan doesnt want you toy a finger on her because Mu Chenyan is probably unaware that all of this is rted to her brother. Wu Ze was more knowledgeable when it came to matters involving Yuan Xuan. Upon hearing that, Wu Huai asked, How are you so sure that Mu Chenyan is unaware? After all, she had previously led the police to investigate Zhao Ruoxin. Thus, how can you determine that this woman wasnt just tricking us so that she can escape? Wu Ze could not help butugh when he heard this. He said, Brother, youve been in the crimes department for so long that everyone looks like a criminal to you now! Wu Huai snorted, expressing his refusal to ept this. Even without using your brain to think, youd be able to understand that Mu Chenwu had a certain aim when he returned to Luo Hai. Why wouldnt he contact his blood-rted sister and ask her for help? Wu Ze did not know how to exin this to Wu Huai. He could only ask, If Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyan had met up much earlier, wouldnt it be much safer for him to pass such arge amount of gold and jewelry to his sister rather than his mistress? Moreover, since Mu Chenyan had never visited Zong He prior to the case, how could she coordinate the internal and external forces to apply the poison? On the surface, it seems like the victims this time have no connection to the Mu n siblings at all... Frankly, Wu Huai had already known the things that Wu Ze mentioned. However, he could not help but be slightly anxious when he saw that his leads were mysteriously cut off. Wu Huai waited until the call ended before he sat on his office chair and fell into deep thoughts. This time, the Mu n siblings had yed the lead roles in causing this dead-end situation. ... Three or four dayster, Mu Chenyan was finally unable to bear the condition in Liu Li Vi where she was cut off from the rest of the world. She made a request of Yuan Xuan, saying, Id like to return to Luo Hai. It seemed as though Yuan Xuan had anticipated that this womans limit would be several days. The man with a refined aura that wafted across his entire body quietly agreed, saying, Alright, well pack our things tomorrow and prepare to return to Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan gently sighed in relief. Her seven-day vacation in Liu Li Vi was finally over. She felt a sort of yearning and reluctance to leave when she turned around and looked at the hundred-year-old mansion. When Yuan Xuan saw through her faint thoughts and quietly said, Next time, we coulde here for a holiday once every other week. Yes, Ill really miss therge bed here... Yuan Xuan emphasized the implication behind his words, Mu Chenyan coughed till her face turned red. The most stressful part of Liu Li Vi to her was thatrge bed that had almost cost Mu Chenyan her life. Mu Chenyan returned to pack her belongings. She had not actually taken many things with her but Sister Liu had brought some of the produce that she grew around this mountain vi for her. Yuan Xuan took his phone out and dialed a number, Captain Wu... Wu Huai secretlyughed to himself. This respected individual was finally willing to show himself. Are you enjoying your vacation, Third Young Master? What instructions do you have during this call? The case involving Zong He was already set aside. He would not even think of any progress unless they caught Mu Chenwu. Wu Huai suppressed his raging anger as he mocked Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuans dark aura returned. It was unlike his gentle appearance when he was with Little Chenyan. His tone was cold and arrogant when he tly said, Id like to make several things clear with Captain Wu in advance. Please moderate your subordinates words once Mu Chenyan has returned to Luo Hai. I dont want Mu Chenyan to know too much about this case. Wu Huai coldly groaned and said, Third Young Master Yuan, can you tell me how I can benefit from that? Perhaps youd already known long ago that the person behind this was Mu Chenwu? Wu Huai could not help but be filled with rage when he thought of how he had been led by his nose the whole time. Yuan Xuan suddenlyughed. Through the phone, Wu Huai could also feel the imposing manner and coldness that this man was spreading. Ive been trying to capture Mu Chenwu all along. Well definitely work together if we get the chance in the future, Yuan Xuan casually said. Wu Huai sneered, Hmph, I was thinking that Third Young Master Yuan is certainly well-versed in Sun-Tzus Art of War. Its likely that youll want to borrow our manpower to get rid of Mu Chenwu in the future, right? That way, you wont have to offend your Little Mistress! Thats an exaggeration, Captain Wu! Its the duty of police officers like you to eradicate evil for the sake of the people. Yuan Xuan argued with Wu Huai. I contacted you to tell you that I didnt want Mu Chenyan to be excessively involved in this right from the beginning. Since youve already directed the investigation towards Mu Chenwu, you should just do your work properly then! You should know what you have to do for Mu Chenyan, right? Wu Huai tly said, Alright, Ill help you but youll have to keep your word in the future and help me arrest Mu Chenwu as well. Ill cooperate, of course. Yuan Xuan hung up. His gloomy expression brightened when he saw his dainty wife happily holding a beautifully carved pumpkin... Chapter 238 - The Military-ranked “Bandit Chief” from Capital City

Chapter 238: The Military-ranked Bandit Chief from Capital City

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ill cooperate, of course. Yuan Xuans gloomy expressionter brightened. Outside the window, his dainty wife came out of the mansions ecological garden. Her face was filled with joy as she carried a beautifully carved pumpkin in her arms. Mistress, slow down and dont rush. You can just get the maid to hold these things... Sister Liu was truly skilled in cultivating numerous types of local specialties. She was a real foodie who could produce such beautiful things even if they were just meant to be eaten. Yuan Xuan could not help but smile. ... Mu Chenyans phone only regained its usual functions when she returned to Luo Hai after being away for a long time. The moment she turned it on, she saw several notifications that listed her unanswered phone calls before Su Qingchengs numerous messages asking detailed questions came rushing in. It was fortunate that Su Qingcheng was unaware of Mu Chenyans role in Mu Chenwus case. Additionally, she did not reveal the developments of the case to Mu Chenyan because of Wu Huais warnings. Mu Chenyan replied Su Qingchengs messages to report that she was safe. Another person who was more impatient was Zhang Xin. The distracted young man repeatedly messaged Mu Chenyan to ask about her whereabouts every day... Mu Chenyan replied all of them. Mu Chenyan and Ah Fu took the various local produce down from the car when she returned to Hibiscus Garden. Yuan Xuan did not stop her but allowed her to do as she pleased instead. This woman behaved better when she had exhausted herself. Yuan Xuan felt that it was better for Mu Chenyan to know less about themotion regarding the situation in Luo Hai... Shao Yibai came to the Yuan Family Mansion in the afternoon. Since he could not catch hold of Yuan Xuan these few days, he could not help but anticipate his return. The two men went to have a drink at the bar together. Youre finally willing to change your tactics in treating Little Chenyan! Shao Yibai heard that Yuan Xuan had taken Mu Chenyan sightseeing for more than a week while chaos was brewing. He felt that Yuan Xuans manner of handling problems had be gentler because he was no longer so rigid. He could not help but sighed, In the past, you wouldve ignored everything else to capture Mu Chenwu, right? In front of Shao Yibai, Yuan Xuan could rx his heart. He took a cigarette from the table and lit it up with his Zippo lighter. It ignited faint sparks and caused dark smoke to rise. Yuan Xuans narrowed eyes resembled arcs when hemented, Although its important to capture Mu Chenwu, I dont want Mu Chenyan to find out and hate me. Thus, its not necessary for me to personally take action on this matter. Shao Yibai raised his ss of red wine. Meanwhile, preparations for the erotic dance performance in the evening were already starting on the stage in the corner of the bar. Do you really trust those police officers so much? Shao Yibai felt that it would be more reliable to do everything personally. All along, his style was to keep to himself and act as he pleased. Mu Chenwu already has the Zong He case against him. The police station has also put him on their record. Hell appear sooner orter if he wants to get his revenge against me. Since he wont be able to escape when that timees, Im currently not frantically looking for him. Speaking of which, your brother-inw was rather cunning. You didnt even know that he stole that little treasury right before your eyes, right? Shao Yibais words were filled with a mocking tone while he joyfullyughed. Shao Yibai faintly took pleasure in Yuan Xuans misery when he thought of how Mu Chenyan had tormented Yuan Xuan and caused him a lot of trouble. Yuan Xuan had his own ns. There was a cold expression on his face when he quietly said, Mu Chenwu would have had to rely on more than the little treasury that his father left him when he returned to Luo Hai and organized his forces. That was merely a cover-up. Shao Yibai sneered, Nothing gets past you! The two men toasted and drank throughout the entire afternoon. Since he was slightly tipsy, Shao Yibais vision became blurred. In his drunk state, the charm of a matured man permeated across his entire body in a brilliant manner that radiated all around. The evening show in the bar would start at 6 oclock. Shao Yibai was too eye-catching. In a short while, he became the man who attracted the most women in the bar. Shao Yibai was also a frequent visitor in the world of romance in Capital City. He was a skilled yer when it came to having fun. Nheless, he was also the best at keeping his hands clean. It sounded ironic but it was the truth. Several blonde young women stared at him for a long time on the side. Now that a man of his caliber was here, they could simply disregard everything else. The women did not bother to act reserved because they felt that it was good enough if he even looked them in the eye. Sir, would you mind having a drink with me? Suddenly, a woman withrge wavelike curls cast a beautiful smile in his direction. She was provocatively charming. She pursed her gorgeous plump red lips and left a dark flirtatious mark on the rim of her crystal ss. Of course I wouldnt mind! Shao Yibai smiled as he took the wine ss from that womans hand and drank from the spot where the print of her lips remained. Yuan Xuan was in awe of this aspect of Shao Yibai. He never rejected any women outside because he believed in the saying the more the merrier. Conversely, Yuan Xuans germophobia was a mental and physical issue. He rejected anything and everything externally tempting. He could neither touch nor look at other women, much less flirt with them. Shao Yibai was different. He mentally enjoyed his various encounters with beautiful women but persevered in maintaining various ridiculous physical boundaries between them. The curly-haired beauty was ted when she saw that Shao Yibai was extremely weing. Her graceful body approached him before she stered herself against the mans warm chest and said, Then you wouldnt minding to my house for a drink too, right? The woman had really fair skin and crimson red lips. Moreover, she was also provocatively eye-catching from the front because he visually estimated her chest size to be 36D. She was a rare thing indeed. Shao Yibaiughed. He was unusually handsome when his bewitching almond-shaped eyes narrowed into an attractive arc before he said, I cant do that tonight. My friend is with me so its not convenient. Leave your contact details with me so I can look for youter. The woman nced at the silent figure in the dark shadows before disying a shocked expression. Yuan Xuans dark shadow was previously concealed by Shao Yibais brilliance. Thus, the woman had only realized now that the man in the corner was more attractive. His cold and arrogant gaze simply enchanted everyone in a matter of seconds. As both of the men here were equally outstanding, the womans breathing became rather unsteady. She looked casual but she was actually carefully scheming when she smiled attractively at Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan ignored her and lifted his wine ss while a frosty look appeared on his face. When the woman saw the look of abstinence on Yuan Xuans face, she consciously reeled in her gaze because she knew that this man would not be as easy to handle as Shao Yibai. She charmingly smiled at Shao Yibai before she took a business card out of her bag. She kissed it with her red lips and passed it to Shao Yibai, saying, Remember to call me! Shao Yibai smiled as he took it and said, Dont worry, baby. The woman reluctantly left and turned back several times with every step. When she returned to her group of friends, there were envious looks on herpanions faces as they said, He actually kept your phone number... That womans gaze never left Shao Yibai while the crowd continued to cheer. They hade out to have a good time. Passionate encounters between men and women were a normal thing to these people but when they saw exceptional men like Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan, the women were more willing to be direct. Shao Yibai turned towards the direction of those women and ced the curly-haired beautys business card beside his lips before he kissed it. He evoked a scream from the crowd at that instance. Wow, its going to be interesting... Yuan Xuan faintly smiled. He neither knew what Shao Yibai was thinking about nor did he know how he thought of such ridiculous things. How could the military-ranked bandit chief from Capital City do these things... After leaving the bar Yuan Xuan watched Shao Yibai tug at the cor of his jacket. His tall figure made him look like a model while there was an indescribable smile on his sinister face. What? Are you nning to take a chick from Luo Hai home and finish the deed since you were unsessful with your Little Chili? Yuan Xuan could not help but recall that stunning shoulder throw when he thought of Su Qingcheng... Chapter 239 - Hallucinogens

Chapter 239: Hallucinogens

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng was truly a hot-tempered woman whose manner was unlike Mu Chenyans. Although she currently looked like someone who constantly lost her temper, Mu Chenyan was still a gentle young woman at heart. She would asionally harden up but her soft side would always be there. Su Qingcheng was different. She was an unyielding, stubborn person both inside and out. It was highly likely that this woman would desperately fight against Shao Yibai if he ever came down hard on her. Most of the women who had learned martial arts were hard pills to swallow. When Shao Yibai heard him say that, he looked at Yuan Xuan before his expression suddenly became threateningly cold and furious. He lowered his head and rubbed the card in his hand before an extremely sarcastic smile appeared on his face. How could these women bepared to Su Qingcheng? Shao Yibai ruthlessly threw the business card into the trash can when he said that... There was not a single hint of fondness on the gloomy mans face. It seemed as though the veteran at the romantic scene from earlier was not him at all! Yuan Xuan suddenly understood how Shao Yibai could wait for one woman for so many years. Aside from Su Qingcheng, there was nock of women around him. Nheless, he had never settled down with a woman. Apparently, this mans heart had not been awakened. ... When they returned to Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan saw his wife, a woman who became extremely happy just by holding arge fresh pumpkin, was quietly reading a book on the long bench on the veranda while being draped in a thin, light pink starry nnel nket. His young wife was wearing sses because it was not well-lit there. Her smooth little face looked rather serene. Without the charm and attractiveness of the girls in the bar, Chenyans intelligent beauty was different from before and was more fascinating. Yuan Xuan could not help but swallow his saliva. His Adams apple bobbed up and down several times while a certain misbehaving part of his body continuously moved restlessly. The man patiently endured it for a while because he wanted to restrain that uneasiness and heat. He had somewhat given in to his excessive lust when he repeatedly tormented her every night during the few days they were at Liu Li Vi. However, Yuan Xuan could not think of anything that he would rather do aside from getting on top of her every time he saw her. Mu Chenyan was clearly unaware that this man not far away from her was at a loss. Shebed several sections of her hair and exposed faint purple marks on her shoulders and neck. He had given all of them to her. The more she asked him to be gentle, the more vigorous he became as though this was the only way that he could express his deep longing for her. These marks were inevitable because he asionally lost sense of the severity of his actions. Moreover, her skin was also tender. However, this woman was also amazing because she always had ways to drive him crazy every time he wanted her. Yuan Xuan unconsciously recalled her appearance when she had just returned from prison. Inparison, this woman had drastically changed now. She was no longer quiet and dull. On the contrary, her fiery life force had returned. Perhaps this was rted to his repeated lessons on the bed. Yes, it was like that indeed. Yuan Xuan started bing pleased with himself when he thought of these things. There was a warm smile on his face when he silently walked towards the veranda and stood there. The woman raised her head from her book when she smelled the scent of alcohol on him. When she removed her sses, she was stunned to see that the mans face was flushed from the drinking. She ced her book aside and quietly said, Did you have a lot to drink again? Go and take a shower. All I can smell is alcohol and it stinks... She sounded like she wasining but there was a flirtatious tone in her voice. When he heard the charming hints in her gentle voice, Yuan Xuan was suddenly unable to restrain himself. He abruptly bent his body downward and firmly kissed the womans red lips that were still rattling on... Since Mu Chenyan was unprepared, the man quickly and effortlessly ravaged her throat... Her little hands and legs fervently kicked and scratched in protest but she did not expect to incite the mans dissatisfaction. He grabbed her hands and raised them above her head while pressing them against the back of the long bench. He continued to attack with his tongue, passing the faint aroma in his mouth to her. After a while, Mu Chenyan felt as though she was about to get drunk as well. The kiss continued for a long time without stopping. The breathing of these two people who were entangled became heavier while the scent of red wine spread throughout their lips. Yuan Xuan would not be satisfied with a single kiss. He reached his hand in through herpel and pinched and fondled. The painful pinching sensation suddenly shocked Mu Chenyan awake. Mu Chenyans scalp tingled when she realized that this man wanted to sleep with her again. During the several days they spent in Liu Li Vi, he tormented her to the point of exhaustion due to their passionate nights. Thus, she had initially assumed that Yuan Xuan would wake up and stop dreaming that they were Adam and Eve once they had returned from that paradise on Earth. She had never imagined that he would continue on with his excessive demands. If this continued, their world would change while their house would no longer be home. Would there be any difference between her and Su Daji who destroyed the Shang dynasty or Yang Yuhuan who ruined the Tang dynasty? (TN: Famous consorts in Chinese history who were said to have caused the downfall of their respective dynasties.) Various scenes shed through Mu Chenyans mind before she suddenly exerted all of her strength to push the mans lowering body away while she heavily panted. Stop it! Mu Chenyan quietly objected. I need to wake up early and go to work tomorrow. Her gaze was piercingly cold when she disyed the forcefulness that was expected of a career woman. Mu Chenyan was unavoidably vexed when she thought of how she was pinned down by him every night. Yuan Xuan was stunned. He could not help but think that her job was truly dispensable when he saw that she waspletely serious. However, he knew that she was stubborn. If he did not allow her to go out and work, she would disy annoyed expressions at him and raise hell. Thus, he dropped the subject andforted her saying, Alright, you can just focus on these things, Mistress. However, dont work too hard! Mu Chenyan nodded while heaving a sigh of relief mentally. She still had no idea about how to exin her whereabouts during these few days to her colleagues. When both of them went upstairs, Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of Zhao Yanni and said, How is Ruoxins mother now? Yuan Xuans expression greatly worsened when he heard Zhao Ruoxins name. He rubbed his temples while a threatening aura emerged. Shes still alright but its very difficult to say whether she can return to the condition of a normal person in the future. Yuan Xuans gaze fell on Mu Chenyan while he spoke. Her delicate little face was shocked. Yuan Xuan continued and exined, Not only was she poisoned by Zong He Sanatorium, but they probably fed her some hallucinogens on a normal basis as well! Her mind is hazy now but shell probably need to continue staying in Zong He Sanatorium once shes discharged from the hospital. Yuan Xuan casually mentioned these things but Mu Chenyan still inhaled a breath of cold air. Hallucinogens? It was not surprising that Mu Chenyan had always felt that Zhao Yanni was not actually a mentally ill patient but a scapegoat who was merely slightly different from an average person. Who gave her those hallucinogens? Mu Chenyan could not help but ask. Yuan Xuan took some casual clothing out of the closet. The corners of his lips stretched into an arc when he looked at the woman who was nning to pursue this question to the end. Why dont you try your best to fulfill your responsibilities as Mrs Yuan instead of aggressively minding other peoples business? When Mu Chenyan saw through his constricted pupils that he was harboring ill intentions, she recoiled her body under the nkets before she shook her head and pitifully said, I dont want to! I want to request for leave. Yuan Xuan mischievously smiled before he went into the bathroom. The whooshing sound of flowing water confused Mu Chenyans state of mind. She briefly visited Liu Li Vi with Yuan Xuan for no reason only to return and discover that she was cut off from the Zong He case. If Su Qingcheng was unwilling to reveal the slightest bit of information to her, she did not even need to consider Wu Huai. The chatterbox Zhang Xin was alsopletely silent regarding this case. Presently, she was still only aware of the same developments that urred before she left. When she suddenly heard Yuan Xuan say that Zhao Yanni had taken hallucinogens, an uneasy feeling seized her mind when she recalled how pitiful that woman appeared when she wailed in front of her own daughter...

Chapter 240: Stick 19, Medium-down

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When the sound of flowing water ceased to be heard from the bathroom, the man came out wrapped in a towel. His muscr chest was radiant and enchanting. Glittering water droplets then flowed down his abdominal muscles and trickled on the furry rug in the bedroom. Yuan Xuan cast a gaze at Mu Chenyan and faintly smiled. The attractive but bewitching curve on the corners of his lips made it impossible for others to pry their eyes away. Are you still waiting for me, Mistress? His extremely gentle and tingling voice made him seem like apletely different person from the stern man who constantly acted as though he controlled the entire world during the day. Fearful that Yuan Xuan would make demands of her again, Mu Chenyan hurriedly hid under the nkets when she heard him speak. Mistress is already asleep! When she spoke, Mu Chenyan made snoring noises on purpose. ... ( .c om ) Major Crimes Department Mu Chenyan returned to work. Mu Chenyans heart was filled with uneasiness as she had disappeared for more than a week without applying for leave absence. It was fortunate that everyone seemed to have forgiven her. Everyone smiled at her despite the envious looks that seeped through their gazes at the thought of her week-long holiday. Conversely, they were so busy these few days because of the Zong He case that it seemed like their brains were about to fall out. However, they did not dare to reveal any traces of this in front of Mu Chenyan. Obviously, Mu Chenyan would not have thought of that. She went looking for Wu Huai to report to him first. She sat in the office and listened to the chatterbox Zhang Xin bbering about how much he had missed her these few days... It was fine that Wu Huai remained silent without mentioning it. Mu Chenyan thought to herself that he was probably doing it for Yuan Xuans sake. Influential people could really get away with anything. It was no wonder why Yuan Xuan said that it would make no difference whether she went to work or not. She was simply in a position where it did not concern her. Nheless, this woman was slightly disappointed because no one had acknowledged her although she was highly ambitious. When it was almost noon, Wu Huai called Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng to his office. Little Su, theres a task for you. Wu Huai passed the files in his hands to Su Qingcheng as he spoke. Su Qingcheng suspiciously took the files while Mu Chenyan sneaked several nces from the side. Im going to East Bridge City? Su Qingchengs asked while her gaze shifted towards Wu Huai after she had finished looking at the case files. Yes, weve received information from our hidden lookout that the female ringleader of a child trafficking syndicate in Luo Hai has presently fled to East Bridge City. ( .c om ) Were going to send someone over to support and coborate with the other branches to arrest this woman. Since we dont need so many people here because our cases havent had any developments, you can go and assist them for a while. Yes, this can also be considered as a brief public expense vacation! For some reason, Mu Chenyan felt as though she saw a hint of uneasiness in Wu Huais gaze when a serious person like him mentioned the public expense pleasure tour. Mu Chenyan happily pursed her lips in secret. Miss Mu, you should go with Little Su. Wu Huai mentally recalled what Yuan Xuan had said before he hurriedly sent his wife off so that she would not dy him from solving the case over here. Mu Chenyan was stunned then realized that she was also assigned to the frontlines now. Fortunately, East Bridge City was located along the coast and it was a good vacation spot. However, she had just started working this month. Aside from the several petty thieves and perverts that she had arrested in the beginning, would she really be spending the rest of her days on holiday? Apparently, having enough time to go on holiday was also worrisome now. Mu Chenyan sighed when she came out of Wu Huais office with Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng saw the unhappiness in Mu Chenyans heart. She quietly asked, Is there something on your mind? A thought stirred in Mu Chenyans mind before she looked at Su Qingcheng and said, Qingcheng, East Bridge is very close to City C. Could you apany me to City C for a while once were done with this case? City C was the city that Zhao Ruoxin had lived in. ... When she returned to Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan told Yuan Xuan that she would be away for work for several days. While she was packing her things, the mans face became extremely gloomy. Away for work? Yuan Xuan suddenly felt as though he had been tricked. This woman became more and more arrogant when he allowed her to go outside and work. Moreover, did she really need to go away for work? Im going to East Bridge to follow up on a case. Ill be back real soon. Mu Chenyan could not understand because she was only going away for work. Did he really need to make these faces? When she finished exining, she saw that Yuan Xuans face was still gloomy while he leaned his shoulders against the doorway to the closet. ording to psychology, his actions implied that he was resisting. However, Mu Chenyan made up her mind and decided to ignore him. She packed a suitcase and rose before she walked into the bathroom alone while holding back a smile. The night sky was dim and the southern winds were slightly cool. Yuan Xuan dashed towards the veranda outside the hall and dejectedly smoked a cigarette. The twinkling stars and bright moonlight nketed the mans dark, depressed figure. He could not stop himself from dialing Wu Huais phone number. Captain Wu, did you send Mu Chenyan away for business? Yuan Xuans questioning tone was undeniably brimming with dissatisfaction. His attitude made Wu Huai extremely unhappy. Third Young Master Yuan, dont forget that you asked me to hide the details of the case from Miss Mu. Isnt it a good thing that I sent her away? Wu Huai was secretly pleased. It seemed as though he had turned the tables on this situation. Yuan Xuan had taken the Little Mistress into hiding for more than a week, resulting in the entire team bing extremely busy. Moreover, they only managed to find a few clues despite the pressure that they were put through. Was Wu Huai not allowed to upset him in return now? Who will be responsible for her safety? When Yuan Xuan remembered that East Bridge was not exactly near Luo Hai, he became worried at the thought of this woman going out on her own. This was particrly important during the current circumstances where Mu Chenwu had be more reckless. Su Qingcheng will go with her so theres no need for Third Young Master Yuan to worry, right? Her? Are you sure that she can protect Mrs Yuan? Yuan Xuan did not doubt Su Qingchengs fighting skills. After all, she had fought against Shao Yibai. However, she was still a woman nheless. Wu Huai sneered, I thought of sending a man to apany Mrs Yuan but I was worried that Third Young Master Yuan would be against that. Yuan Xuan coldly groaned, Captain Wu really thoroughly considered this! Thank you very much for your praise, Third Young Master Yuan. Wu Huais smile was very treacherous as he was not harboring good intentions. Yuan Xuan hung up before his gloomy gaze shifted upstairs. He was still very anxious. However, he knew that he had to worry about losing face again if he did not yield to this woman. Yuan Xuan pondered for awhile before he called Shao Yibai. Your woman is going to take Mu Chenyan out and do crazy things again. Were you aware of this? Shao Yibais side was quiet for a long time before he softly said, I have confidence in Su Qingchengs fighting skills. Mu Chenyan will probably be fine if theyre together. You shouldnt be worried. Shao Yibai realized that Yuan Xuan probably called him because he was worried about Mu Chenyans safety while she was away. Yuan Xuan faintly smiled, You know her really well! I taught her all of her fighting skills so how would it be possible for me not to know her well? While he spoke, Shao Yibai could not help butugh when he recalled that womans appearance that year. Su Qingcheng was especially young and inexperienced then. When she smiled, the two little dimples that appeared on the corners of her mouth made her looked sweet... She grew up in the blink of an eye and became a woman who had almost matured. Moreover, this woman had also learned to put on a stern face and appeared cold before she suddenly fell out with him. An annoyed feeling strangely brewed in Shao Yibais heart when he recalled how he had received the cold shoulder several times when he went to her house. It was fortunate that Shao Yibai was a well brought up person who remained courteous in front of Su Qingcheng withoutshing out despite being irritated. When he heard Yuan Xuan mentioned that Su Qingcheng would leave on official business as well today, Shao Yibais heart became rather unhappy at the thought of this woman leaving Luo Hai. Chapter 241 - Pleasure Tour Using Public Expense

Chapter 241: Pleasure Tour Using Public Expense

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When he heard Yuan Xuan mentioned that Su Qingcheng would leave on official business as well today, Shao Yibais heart became rather unhappy at the thought of this woman leaving Luo Hai. Fortunately, Shao Yibai was unlike Yuan Xuan. The biggest difference between one person who had tasted physical pleasures and another who had not was that the former would crave the taste of flesh again since he had already tried it. He would probably be unable to bear it if he went a few days without it. Conversely, Shao Yibai was already used to this because he lived a life that resembled a monks... The monk consoled him, saying, You can rx. Your Little Chenyan will be safe with Su Qingcheng. If you really cant ept that, Ill secretly go and help you keep an eye on her? When Yuan Xuan heard this, the corners of his lips stretched into a sly smile before he said, Thank you for your trouble! Shao Yibai was speechless. Hmph, this man had really treated him like a bodyguard! However, when he thought about it again, he felt that this was not a bad idea. After all, he had nothing important to do in Luo Hai. Yuan Ran personally visited him almost every day. Unlike the women outside, Shao Yibai obviously could not treat the members of the Yuan Family as he pleased. Thus, Yuan Ran certainly resembled a dangerous beauty before him in the sense that he could neither touch her nor cast her aside. He could go and see the woman he liked on the pretense of sneaking around to protect Little Chenyan. Shao Yibais adaptable personality instantly made him feel as though Yuan Xuan had thrown him a pleasant task. ... Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng left for East Bridge City. Their journey did not take long because that ce was close to Luo Hai. Moreover, since the two women had endless topics to discuss along the way, they quickly reached East Bridge and did not feel weary after their journey. They found the hotel that was arranged by their workces cooperative partner. Theirpanions that arrived with them also included police officers from Luo Hais other departments. Additionally, the police station in East Bridge had also sent their representatives. In the hotel where they were staying, everyone briefly studied the schedule of their operations during these few days. They would visit the station on the second day. The two women had an early dinner in the evening. Since were already here, we cant take the public expense vacation that Wu Huai mentioned for granted! said Su Qingcheng as she led Mu Chenyan out the door. Su Qingcheng had asked about the exciting night scenic spots in East Bridge much earlier. They took a stroll and circled it before she dragged Mu Chenyan to the night market in East Bridge. It was April and the spring flowers were in bloom. During this warm and windy season, the lively night market was filled with the noise of chattering people. When she thought of how their next two days would be filled with work, she became worried that there would not be enough time to buy some gifts if she did not do it now. The two women chose some items that each of them nned to bring back. Su Qingcheng had even gotten something for Wu Huai. She said, Im buying a small gift to bribe our leader! In the end, she bought several toys for children as well. Mu Chenyan curiously asked, Why did you buy those toys? Su Qingcheng bashfully smiled and said, Im still a child at heart! The people of East Bridge worshiped Mazu. Thus, there were Mazu temples everywhere. There was one near the end of the night market. The joss sticks there were still burning although it was already evening. Mu Chenyan wanted to ask for a talisman for Yuan Xuan and pray for her brothers safety at the same time. Thus, she dragged Su Qingcheng over to the Mazu temple. She lit the joss sticks and prayed to Mazu to ask for a talisman. Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuans Koenigsegg sports car had a talisman but its pouch was already slightly faded. She could exchange it with this new one when she brought it back. Miss, would you like to draw a stick for your fortune? (TN: Refers to Kau Cim or Chinese fortune sticks.) There was an elderly person with white hair and a white beard at the doorway. He resembled a transcendent being, unlike the usual fortune tellers at the street stalls who were merely sly businesspeople. There was a smile hidden behind his eyes when he turned to Mu Chenyan and said, You two youngdies arent locals, right? It seems like were fated to meet! Although both of you are charming and extraordinarily beautiful, your love lives seem rocky... Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng nced at each other when they heard him mentioning their troubled love lives. Both of them initially did not trust this roadside fortune teller. Asking for that talisman was simply a psychological form of reassurance. However, Mu Chenyan was suddenly moved when the fortune teller fixed his sharp gaze on her. How rocky were their love lives going to be? Curiosity killed the cat! Old man, Ill make an exception and ask you for a stick. Mu Chenyan kneeled down as she spoke. The old man looked at the young woman before him and smiled, saying, Everything was fated when I manned this stall here. I wont charge you since youre only asking for one stick. You can just take this as a first-meeting present that Im giving to you because youre a foreign guest. Curiosity flooded Mu Chenyans heart when she heard the old man said that he did not want payment. She picked up the bucket and gently shook it before a bamboo stick fell out. The old man picked it up and looked at it before a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, Stick 19, medium-down! (TN: Medium-down refers to the type of fortune that is predicted.) ... Su Qingcheng could tell that Mu Chenyans expression had slightly changed after they returned from the Mazu temple. People would naturally act differently from usual when they had something on their mind. Ive never believed in things like fortune sticks or divination! Su Qingcheng consoled her, saying, Moreover, you didnt get the worst stick. The old man also said that you should just ept everything for the way it is instead of being conflicted. This will blow over and pass soon enough. Mu Chenyan smiled before she opened her palm and revealed the corresponding fortune based on her stick that read, When the choppy waters force your boat to the shore, what can you do when the waves crash and the wind roars? Wait for the tides to turn and the gale to return as before, so that your boat may safely sail back once more. A word of advice, Miss. Let go of the unhealthy thoughts in your mind and y your role as an obedient wife when you go home. You should also distance yourself from conflict because anything can be damaged in the process. If you continue to be entangled with the past, Im afraid that... Although the old man did not continue, Mu Chenyan was already aware of this in her heart. She hade here to investigate an old case... ... The female ringleader of the child trafficking syndicate was very cunning because this woman hid her tracks andpletely disappeared the moment the people from Luo Hai reached East Bridge. Her whereabouts were unknown, causing the police to run around in circles for a week. Finally, on a weekend afternoon, she was spotted by the spies when she could not help bute out for a breather. Thus, several police officers managed to catch her red-handed effortlessly. Su Qingcheng participated in the operation this time. She seemed unusually agitated because she was unwilling to calm down although the woman was already badly beaten up by her. Mu Chenyan had witnessed Su Qingchengs strength before but she was still rather shocked when she saw her frenziedly kicking and punching the captured female ringleader of the child trafficking syndicate. When several of their male colleagues from the branches of Luo Hais police departments saw that the heroin who was sent by the major crimes department was so tough, the attraction that they felt towards this beauty in their hearts after cohabiting with her for several days instantly vanished into thin air... Qingcheng, do you... Do you particrly hate child traffickers? The two women returned to their hotel and prepared to leave for City C. Mu Chenyan chatted with Su Qingcheng while they packed. When she came back, Mu Chenyan had overheard a discussion between several of the officers from Luo Hais police station in the corridor. Ive never seen a woman fight so violently. The ones from the special department are so different! Yes, two of her front teeth were kicked out! I heard that the criminal still wants to sue Miss Su when she gets back. She probably feels that she was wronged because she had to suffer such a terrible beating despite already being sentenced to death! You couldnt fully vent your anger even if you gunned someone like this to death over a thousand times! How dare she f*cking feel wronged after she destroyed so many families? I wouldnt dare toy a hand on her though. After all, were just office workers who are trying to support our families. Rumor has it that Miss Su is different because she was pushed to the major crimes department by Bureau Chief Lees son... ... Su Qingcheng bitterlyughed, I really do hate them. You could even say that I despise them! Su Qingcheng pulled her suitcase over while she spoke. She messily balled up her clothes and stuffed them into her suitcase. Mu Chenyan could not help but furrow her eyebrows when she saw her clumsy actions. She snatched Su Qingchengs suitcase over in one go before she lowered her voice and gently said, Women are usually better at things like this. You should move aside and take a break. Su Qingcheng was also at a loss for words. This was not the first time that someone had insulted her like this! She gently twisted bits of her short hair while her pretty little face faintly blushed. The image of that man floated in her mind as she recalled him poking her chest and furiously saying, Samson Su, youre really manly! (TN: Original punpared Su Qingchengs name to indigo and its tough properties. However, that did not trante well in English so I changed it but tried to keep the essence of the pun.) Chapter 242 - This Lady Called Her Miss Mu

Chapter 242: This Lady Called Her Miss Mu

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion City C It was a tiny city near the East Bridge. When Zhao Yanni was chased away by the Shu Family of Luo Hai, she came here with her physically-challenged child, Shu Xiner, with her lover. The man was useless, as he managed to get by sticking with the Shu Family in Luo Hai but seduced thedy of the main house. Even though he was able to get thedy, he could not stay in Luo Hai anymore. City C was notparable to Luo Hai in any way, so he could not express his dissatisfaction anywhere else other than at the Zhao mother-and-daughter pair. Zhao Ruoxins childhood was unknowable. Mu Chenyans urge to getting to know her was based on the abnormalities she exuded. Before getting herself into the Yuan Family, she had had a romantic past with Xia Tao. Based on Xia Taos infatuation and age, Zhao Ruoxin was likely to have been in her middle school or high school when they got together, at least? Evidently, Zhao Ruoxin had been aplex character since young. She might have been using Xia Tao before, and now that she managed to get out of it, she was able to do well for herself in Yuan Family. Mu Chenyan was trying to look for clues on her that gave a reason as to why she would enter Yuan Family. Furthermore, not even ghosts would believe it if she said she had nothing to do with the tragedy at Zong He. Chenyan, where should we start investigating? Knowing Mu Chenyans intention to investigate Zhao Ruoxin, Su Qingcheng excitedly left her luggage in the hotel and began chatting about it as the duo came out for some food. If they were able to get important information, the Zong He case might close sooner, and Wu Huai would not have such a low opinion on a female staff like her, so Su Qingcheng seemed even more eager than Mu Chenyan. Qingcheng, do you think you can pull all the files the police had on Zhao Ruoxin as a police yourself? I want to look for a lead so we know how to approach the matter. After all, we have limited time. Everything Mu Chenyan said was true. If she was out for an extended amount of time, the one at home would likely to be sour-faced again. He might even make his way to City C just to drag her back home. That was why the matter must be solved as soon as possible! I should be able to. However, even though Im inw enforcement, Im not in City C for work, so Ill need Wu Huai to request permission from our sister department here. Seeing Mu Chenyan furrowing her brow, Su Qingcheng knew she had an issue with that idea. I dont want anyone in the Yuan Family to find out, thats why I came here to investigate behind Yuan Xuans back. You know that, right? Mu Chenyan phrased it casually, but with Su Qingchengs wits, she immediately understood that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan were not as close as they had portrayed. Alright, I suggest that we start investigating her fellow students. Someone that young would spend the majority of their time in school. To understand what shes like, her ssmates will be an important clue. Su Qingcheng said and motioned for Mu Chenyan to stop in front of a tiny restaurant. She pointed at the picture on the signboard. Boiled fish filet, spicy rabbit head. Do you like Sichuan food? Mu Chenyan was not picky about food. However, Yuan Xuans pte was too light, so she rarely had anything that stimting in Yuan Familys food. Lets go, I shally down my life for your cravings! Mu Chenyan smiled wickedly even though she was the one craving it. Su Qingcheng giggled and found a quiet corner with Mu Chenyan. Ordering a set of spicybo for two as well as spicy rabbit head, Sichuan pepper chicken feet, and some beef brisket slices with pickled pepper, they managed to treat themselves to a gastronomic experience. When they had left, their lips were so swollen and out-turned, it felt as if their lips were no longer theirs. Mu Chenyan had never tried something that delectably spicy, she asked Su Qingcheng, Arent you from Jiang Nan, how do you stand the spiciness? Su Qingchengughed, Im a Sichuan chick at heart! When she saw the confused look on Mu Chenyans face, Su Qingcheng waved it off and said, Its nothing, just something tiny in the past! Su Qingcheng would not have known that her spicy meal would cause such a huge trouble! Midnight Mu Chenyan held her stomach in pain as the chilies continually tortured her from inside. She got up to have a cup of warm water andid back down. However, the burning pain did not seem to ease as her stomach churned even harder. Mu Chenyan went to the bathroom to throw up most of the food in the sink. It was such a huge stir that it woke Su Qingcheng. Whoa! Chenyan, are you alright? Mu Chenyans face was pale, her lips trembling slightly as she panted as a result of her regurgitation. Her brows were knitted tight, scaring Su Qingcheng. Ill send you to the hospital right now! Aside from the hospital, there was nowhere else to go with the current situation. Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan to change out of her pajamas and picked a sports outfit for herself. Without dy, she showed her strength, carrying Mu Chenyan on her back into the lift. The receptionist called a cab for her. Mu Chenyan tried to lessen the pain by not speaking on the ride to the hospital as she swore to not have something that spicy anymore! Mu Chenyan was frustrated at herself for being sent to the hospital because having too much spice. She took a number and waited. Thankfully, there were not many people waiting at night. The doctor diagnosed Mu Chenyan to have Acute Gastroenteritis. After Mu Chenyan was hooked up with an intravenous drip machine, Su Qingcheng apologized, Its my fault, I shouldnt have made you eat so many spicy foods! Mu Chenyan felt that Su Qingcheng was ming herself too much, so she said, Dont worry. I havent even thanked you for apanying me to City C to investigate Zhao Ruoxin. Its my own problem for having a weak constitution, why would I me you? The nurse looked at Mu Chenyan and flipped her notebook, asking, Mu Chenyan? Gastroenteritis? Mu Chenyan answered, Yes! The nurse trained her discerning eyes on Mu Chenyan. Her face was under a mask, but Mu Chenyan felt that she must be around the same age as herself. After finishing this, take a little rest. Best if you can stay here for an hour for observation before leaving! After saying that, the nurse exited the infusion room. Su Qingcheng looked at her watch. Its already almost morning. Might as well stay here and sleep until the morning. Indeed, Mu Chenyan felt much better after the treatment. Her stomach was no longer in pain, and sleepiness took her. The two womenid on the bed in the infusion room and promptly fell asleep. Mu Chenyan did not notice when the nurse returned to remove the syringe, which just speaks for how deeply she slept. As the morning arrived, patients who were admitted to the infusion room had begun to increase. Both the women were woken up by the bustle. Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan up. I should bring you back to the hotel to rest a little longer! Seeing how pale Mu Chenyan was still, Su Qingcheng wanted to piggyback her, to which she declined. They made their way to the entrance of the hospital, nning to call a cab when a white Honda came out of the parking area and approached them. Ady with shades stretched her head out and said, Miss Mu, I can give you a ride! Mu Chenyan was slightly taken aback. She knew she did not know anyone in City C, but thisdy called her Miss Mu... Chapter 243 - The Heart She Obtained Was Problematic

Chapter 243: The Heart She Obtained Was Problematic

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was slightly taken aback. She knew she did not know anyone in City C, but thisdy called her Miss Mu... Seeing Mu Chenyans hesitation and surprise, thedy took off her shades and spoke after making sure no one was around. Miss Mus business in City C was to ask about Zhao Ruoxin, isnt it? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng shared a nce. None of them understood what was happening, so they kept quiet. Thedy in front looked familiar, they should have met her before. Mu Chenyan looked carefully and yelped in recognition, You are the nurse from before? ! ! ... Liang Zihan sent Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng to their hotel and entered their room after she had parked. As Mu Chenyans luck would have it, she was admitted into the hospital for eating spicy rabbit head, and because of that, met Zhao Ruoxins middle school ssmate as her nurse! Liang Zihan knew that Mu Chenyan was not well, so she declined Mu Chenyans suggestion to talk in a cafe, being very frank. Ive heard that you were asking around about Ruoxin. I knew some things about her, so Ill tell you in the hotel room! Su Qingcheng poured both of them a ss of warm water. Liang Zihan took it and said smilingly, What a coincidence, Ive just returned from outside the country! Mu Chenyan was a little hopeful after hearing that. If Liang Zihan had been in City C, Yuan Xuan had asked people to investigate, so they would not have missed her. If she had just returned to the country, there might be some breakthroughs. I just divorced and came back with my child. I was just taking over my aunt, or I wouldnt have met you two! Evidently, Liang Zihan was not a cunning person. Within a few sentences, she had already offered her entire backstory. Mu Chenyan looked at Su Qingcheng and asked Liang Zihan, Miss Liang, you said you were ssmates with Zhao Ruoxin, but are you close? Liang Zihan nodded and said, Thats right. We were ssmates in a small town. There werent that many people, to begin with. Ruoxin was not very social, you could say shes a cial beauty! Liang Zihans summary was reflective of Zhao Ruoxins characteristics. Mu Chenyan did not know Zhao Ruoxin in her teenage years, but she would not be surprised to call her not very sociable. Zhao Ruoxin sounded like the type to be very mature for her age. In the eyes of her peers, she would be called cold and solitudinous! Miss Liang, youre her friend? Su Qingcheng asked. You could say so! Liang Zihan smiled. Or you could say its because were alike! Seeing the confusion in Su Qingchengs eyes, Liang Zihan continued, When we were in school. we liked an older man at the same time... Su Qingcheng, ... Mu Chenyan was not surprised, she knew about Xia Tao. Xia Tao? Mu Chenyan blurted out then immediately regretted it. Zhao Ruoxin should still be quite young at that time. How would she know about Xia Tao? Liang Zihan was astonished, Xia Tao? That was after! Liang Zihan did not think Mu Chenyan would know Xia Tao as well, so now she began hesitating if she wants to continue talking. Dont worry, Im not rted to Xia Tao in any way. I just found out that Ruoxin was romantically linked with Xia Tao for a while! Liang Zihan might be sensitive about Xia Tao. From her gaze, it was understood that Mu Chenyan was trying to dispel Liang Zihans worries. Miss Liang, please continue! She liked our math teacher who already had children. The man I loved was my ex-husband, the old fart I married! Mu Chenyan was not interested in Liang Zihans ex-husband, but she was a little surprised to hear that Zhao Ruoxin liked her teacher in middle school. Zhao Ruoxin was a backslider. Xia Tao had imed that she had Electra Complex, indeed! Because we were so young when we liked older married men, we couldnt tell anyone else, so we confided in each other and became closer as a result! Liang Zihan exined her rtionship with Zhao Ruoxin, it seemed like they were really simr in nature. Zhao Ruoxin is currently in Luo Hais Yuan Family, do you know about that, Miss Liang? Mu Chenyan felt that even if she was fortunate enough to meet an old friend of Zhao Ruoxin, the womans willingness to divulge Zhao Ruoxins story was more than wanting to reminisce. Seeing Mu Chenyan showing her trump card, Liang Zihan stopped dilly-dallying and said, I know she has rooted herself in Luo Hais Yuan Family. I know her the most, and I need money! Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan shared a look. Before Su Qingcheng could say anything, Mu Chenyan stopped her and turned to Liang Zihan. Miss Liang, are you facing some kind of problems? Her voice was soft, enough to encourage people to shed their defenses around her. Liang Zihan inhaled deeply as her eyes reddened, My son was down with a serious illness. As Ive said, Im a divorcee. I have not been earning much after bringing him home, so I need money! Understandable! Mu Chenyan felt rested enough to get up. She propped her body up and utilized a tone that suggested business. I need to confirm the information you can divulge. If she was only going to reminisce, Mu Chenyan would not need to hear Liang Zihan out. She knew Zhao Ruoxin was a little dubious, but her current obsession was Yuan Xuan! Zhao Ruoxin has heart disease, do you know that? Liang Zihans eyes turned deep as she continued, The heart she obtained was problematic... Mu Chenyans cup trembled as she recalled following Zhao Ruoxin in disguise. She remembered hearing Xia Tao iming that he was the one who helped Zhao Ruoxin find her heart! Liang Zihan was worried and her face paled. Her breath wasbored as if it would take a lot of her valor just to keep talking. City C is different from Luo Hai. Its a tiny ce, and everyone knows everyone here. If you knew Xia Tao, you would understand that me talking about this is me risking my life... Liang Zihan might have exaggerated, but it was evident that she was scared. My aunt was the head nurse in the hospital and was part of the surgery which not many people know about! Maybe things like this were insider information. Liang Zihan knew that if the news was spread, Xia Tao could easily find out she was the one who spread the information, so her worry was not unfounded. In tiny ces like this, the scary ones were not the higher-ups! It was lesser figures like Xia Tao who were the real controller! Dont worry, Miss Liang. I will bring this piece of information back to Luo Hai. No one in City C would seek trouble with you! If youre still not at ease, you can take the money to evade the situation for a while! Mu Chenyan retrieved a bank card from her purse. That was the card Yuan Xuan gave her before she left. The unlimited ck card trope that always appears in bossy CEO novels, the kind that allows people to use the money callously. She did not expect Yuan Xuan to say, I cant give you too much money, or you would go crazy over there and dont know when toe home! Heres 500 thousand, do you want to check it out at the bank first? Mu Chenyan ced the card in Liang Zihans hands, a faint smile appearing in her eyes that has a calming effect. Liang Zihan shook and began to trust Mu Chenyan without subconsciously. She needed the money, her sons leukemia needed 400 thousand! Liang Zihan calmed herself down and murmured, Three years ago, there was an ident. A child was transferred into the hospital my aunt worked at. He didnt need to die, but his heart has extremely highpatibility with Zhao Ruoxin... Chapter 244 - A Conspiracy, A Murder

Chapter 244: A Conspiracy, A Murder

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Three years ago, there was a boy who got into an ident. He was sent to the hospital my aunt worked at, and he didnt need to die! But his heart was extremelypatible with Zhao Ruoxin. Xia Tao was with Zhao Ruoxin at the time. She was with him, but he couldnt touch her. With this heart, he could do whatever he wants... When Liang Zihan was telling the story, her heart shuddered! She was afraid to have revealed a conspiracy, a murder! The boys parents went missing in the ident and turned out to have been transported downstream when the car turned over under the bridge. When that happens, the teen became an orphan... Not only she was shuddering. Su Qingcheng held her fist tightly and asked, You mean, the boys heart was taken out of him before he died? Liang Zihan kept quiet, signifying her acquiescence. The heart was sh frozen as soon as it was taken out, and soon the surgery was executed for Zhao Ruoxin! With bleary eyes, Mu Chenyan croaked, You said Zhao Ruoxins heart surgery was three years ago? Not one year ago? It was indeed three years ago! Liang Zihan was perturbed and hesitated to speak. Mu Chenyan sounded really confused, You are sure its not one year ago? Liang Zihan took a deep breath and steeled herself, continuing, Not long ago, some people came to City C and forced the hospital to alter the record for some reason! Because of Xia Tao, there werent many people who knew about the surgery. My aunt was just one of the nurses in service back then... These people even threatened the people there not to divulge the secret! They gave them a lot of money. The two chief surgeons were afraid something would happen and moved out of the country. My aunt died of sickness soon after that! Not long after that, I heard Zhao Ruoxin went to Luo Hai and into the Yuan Family! Mu Chenyan finally understood why Yuan Xuans people did not find that piece of information out, someone got to the information first! If the surgery was three years ago, why would Zhao Ruoxin want to say that it was one year ago? These people were not Xia Taos... Noticing Su Qingcheng looking at her, Mu Chenyan twittered. Xia Tao obtained a heart using his power and influence in order to maintain a romantic rtionship with Zhao Ruoxin, and the second group of people could be there to help Zhao Ruoxin entering Yuan Family! Su Qingcheng almost blurted out a question of whether that was Mu Chenwu. However, another thought came. Wu Huai had reminded her not to let Mu Chenyan know about the rtionship between Mu Chenwu and this event. At this moment, she should be shutting up. No matter what, Mu Chenwu was Mu Chenyans brother. Friendships could sink when it implicated such a huge issue. Su Qingcheng swallowed his saliva and asked lightly, Miss Liang, do you know anything else about Zhao Ruoxin? Liang Zihan thought and smiled bitterly. After leaving the country for two years, I havent seen her since. My life was not good, and my mind was not in a good ce. I almost forgot how she looked like! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan took her phone and searched for a picture of Zhao Ruoxin, showing it to Liang Zihan. The Zhao Ruoxin now must be quite different from what you knew, isnt it? Liang Zihan looked at the woman in the photo with a sad, yearning expression. She took her friends changes quite badly. Things change. Zhao Ruoxin had moved to City C with her mother as a burden. Her stepfather was a pathological gambler and would abuse her verbally and physically. That caused the girl to develop a sense of inferiority and distance that showed even in her eyes. The woman in the photo had a cigarette between her fingers and was so arrogant, her eyes were filled with an indescribable self-confidence and haughtiness, it was as if she was born into that life. Even Xia Tao who sat across her looked a little timid. In the past, Zhao Ruoxin had always been the mature-, clever-type, which was the main reason Xia Tao willingly groomed her before he even touched her. He even made illegal transactions in order to lie with her! Liang Zihan looked at the photo for quite a while. She could not understand how a woman could change so drastically only after moving to Luo Hai for a year. Miss Mu, are you sure that this woman is Zhao Ruoxin? Liang Zihans eyes were dreamy. She had not seen Zhao Ruoxin since two to three years ago after she had gone out of the country. She still looked the same, but her temperaments were so inordinately different, Liang Zihan could not ept it as an old friend! Mu Chenyan frowned. Her brain was operating at high speed before she finally asked, trembling, Where do you think is questionable? This is Zhao Ruoxin, do you remember if she had any unique characteristics? Liang Zihan stood up and paced around the room thinking about a question. A long while passed before she said. I knew her pretty well. She didnt have tertiary education, only a diploma. She could have met Xia Tao during that period. It was an extramarital affair. To hide from the public eye, Xia Tao bought a vi in the Eastern suburbia. I only knew that because Xia Tao went on a business trip once when Ruoxin was having a heart attack. She called me out of desperation, and it was then that I knew she had be a sugar baby... Why didnt she call her parents? Su Qingcheng understood a little bit about Zhao Ruoxin from Mu Chenyan and was curious why this woman would call her friend in a situation like this. Her parents had never cared for her. Every month, Xia Tao would send her parents some money, and her gambler dad dropped everything the minute he has money! Her mother was cowardly and would just turn a blind eye. Liang Zihans description of Zhao Yanni was so chilling to Mu Chenyan. No wonder Zhao Ruoxin was so cold toward her mother. Zhao Ruoxin was pretty then, but she carries herself very different;y from the woman in the photo. From the shine in her eyes, she doesnt even look the same... Liang Zihans words caused a chill down Mu Chenyans spine. A scary thought formed in her mind... ... After sending Liang Zihan away, Mu Chenyan snatched her phone up and dialed a number. Wu Ze did not expect Mu Chenyan to call so early. His voice was low but hid a hint of a smile. Little Chenyan? What is it? Mu Chenyan tried to keep her voice calm. Big Brother Wu, have you read Qingers autopsy report? Mm, multiple times! What is it, why do you ask? Wu Ze did not understand. He knew his brother had sent Mu Chenyan to the East Bridge for an assignment. She was not even back yet, why did she ask about Qinger? Big Brother Wu, please try to remember to the best of your ability. Does her autopsy report mention a cinnabar mole on the outside of her left breast? Mu Chenyan suddenly felt nauseated. When she was waiting for Wu Ze to answer, she already had an answer of her own! Cinnabar mole? Wu Ze thought carefully before answering, There isnt one. Why do you ask? Chapter 245 - Big Brother, Those Two Chicks Just Came Out

Chapter 245: Big Brother, Those Two Chicks Just Came Out

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan suddenly found it hard to breathe. As she waited for Wu Zes reply, she actually had an answer in her heart already. Cinnabar mole? Wu Ze thought carefully before answering, There isnt one. Why do you ask? Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans face paled as she hung up, her palms were sweaty. Chenyan, what happened? What did you find out? Su Qingcheng reached out to check Mu Chenyans forehead. Because of the gastroenteritis, she had vomited terribly yesterday night and did not sleep well. Coupled with the fluctuating of emotions, Mu Chenyan was feeling giddy at the moment. Qingcheng, I dont know if Ive guessed it correctly... Mu Chenyan spoke with much difficulty as she looked at Su Qingcheng. Although they had not known each other for long, she trusted Su Qingcheng. I think that the one who died wasnt Shu Qinger but Zhao Ruoxin. The one whos living with the Yuan Family currently is Shu Qinger! Su Qingcheng stared with eyes wide open and could not make any sense of it. What are you talking about? The one who died wasnt Shu Qinger? How do you know? It was a big case that had rocked Luo Hai back then, and the person involved had died for many years; but Mu Chenyan, who had been wrongly imprisoned for two years, imed that the deceased was not Shu Qinger! What exactly is going on? Su Qingcheng sat down and checked Mu Chenyans forehead with her hand once again, making sure that she was not raving due to the fever. Qingcheng, about this matter, I dont have any solid proof. Liang Zihan had said it earlier. She dared not believe the woman in the photo was Zhao Ruoxin. Im only making a bold guess. I dont know yet how did Zhao Ruoxin swap with Qinge. But I do know that when Qinger went traveling in Ennd and Yuan Xuan brought us all for a swim, and in the dressing room, I spotted a cinnabar mole on the outer part of Qingers left chest. However, there wasnt one on the deceased! Su Qingcheng also had a certain understanding of that case. She got up and stared out of the window. After pondering for a while, she then said, What youve said is also possible. The murderer back then was extremely brutal, taking the fetus and even destroying the inner organs of the corpse... Su Qingcheng paused for a while. Even a tough girl like her had difficulty imagining that gory scene. No one knew how much hatred the murderer had to be this atrocious! Hence, at the time of the autopsy, no one realized that she had had a heart transnt. However, the exterior of the bodys chest was not damaged. If there was a cinnabar mole on the left chest, it was impossible to miss it! Mu Chenyan understood Su Qingchengs description of the scenario. After all, she was one of the parties involved at that time. Those dark days were openly exposed once again. Mu Chenyan was under tremendous psychological pressure as now she also had to prove that the deceased was not Shu Qinger. What a mockery it was! Qingcheng, lets leave and not stay in City C any longer. Lets hurry back to Luo Hai. If we want to verify this matter, theres someone who would definitely know the inside story! Before Mu Chenyan had finished, Su Qingcheng interjected, Zhao Yanni? ... The construction of the oilfield in Nan Hai District had begun. Yuan Xuan had been busy for these few days, but there was an empty feeling in his heart. He was aware that the feeling was because of him missing someone! That woman had gone out of town for more than a week and had not returned yet. The man who had lost his soul was feeling frustrated every day. He secretly decided that he would not simply let her go out the next time. This was a great disturbance! Shao Yibai did not report to him that Mu Chenyan had gone to City C. The reason was very simple. Shao Yibai felt that it was sufficient with him alone. If Yuan Xuan had known that Mu Chenyan hade to City C, he would havee all the way to bring her back. Nheless, the works in that oil field had just begun, and Yuan Xuan could not walk away. Shao Yibai thought to himself, the man who should be focusing on making money should not be running about. As an overseer ambassador from Capital City, Shao Yibai felt that Yuan Xuan should not simply abandon his post. Yes, Shao Yibai was such an *sshole. ... Su Qingcheng nned to stay for another night so that Mu Chenyan could have some rest. After all, she had been sick. Chenyan was not like her, who had a body that was seasoned in battle. Mu Chenyan could not persuade Su Qingcheng and could only agree to stay on, extending their room for another night. Su Qingcheng bought the tickets online, while Mu Chenyan took out her phone and could not help but call that all too familiar number. Having left for so many days, the two had been keeping in touch through messaging. The beeping tone indicating the unanswered call repeatedly tapped on Mu Chenyans heart. Without knowing why, she wanted to hear Yuan Xuans voice. Only then would she feel at ease. Mu Chenyan realized that actually, she had never let go of Yuan Xuan in her heart... Amid his hectic schedule, the moment the man heard the ringtone he had designated for her call, he gestured at the board members in the meeting without hesitation. Xiao Wang, the engineer who was making his speech, immediately stopped. Everyone looked at their own CEO, his face clear and bright as he spoke with infinite tender into the phone, Shouldnt you being home now? Little Chenyan! Woah! A new continent! A great discovery! All the employees were stunned as they became silent like a cicada in cold weather. Half of the mans face was attached to the phone, his dark pupils glimmering faintly and the corner of his eyes filled with delight. He asked with his deep voice, After leaving for so many days, youre missing me too, arent you? All the employees were abruptly showered with a public disy of affection. There were aged elders among the members of the board, and there were also the young members from the technology department in todays meeting. Be it the young or old, when had they ever seen Third Young Master in such a manner? Mu Chenyan was not aware of the situation on the other side. She was embarrassed to speak such intimate words with Yuan Xuan in front of Su Qingcheng. Mmm. Yuan Xuan continued to ask persistently, Tell me, did you miss me? What he wanted to hear was not just a Mmm. Mu Chenyan turned away. She could feel the hot breath of the man on the other side through the phone. She was really too shy to say such intimate words, but her heart honestly nodded to him. Especially after knowing that Shu Qinger might still be alive, Mu Chenyan, who had never been jealous of Zhao Ruoxin, now felt a sense of danger in her heart. Little Chenyan, say it out. The mans tone was gentle yet domineering, his narrowed eyes were gleaming with a dazzling brightness. Yuan Xuan... I... Mu Chenyan blushed. Under Su Qingchengs questioning gaze, she mumbled softly, I miss you... A smile emerged in the corner of Yuan Xuans lips, his voice extremely warm. If you miss me, then quicklye home. Youve been running wild on the outside. Mu Chenyan softly uttered another sound. Hanging up the call, her cheeks were still burning. A deep smile appeared on Su Qingchengs pretty face. Mu Chenyan saw her looks and was somewhat diffident. Are we still going out for dinner? Su Qingcheng put on a straight face and replied, What else is there to eat? Im already full from your public disy of affection! Hearing Su Qingcheng ridiculing her, Mu Chenyan smiled, and there was a touch of warmth to her gloomy mood. Come, Ill treat you. Su Qingcheng ran her slender fingers through her hair and smiled, Are we still eating spicy hotpot? Mu Chenyan shook her head like a rattle-drum. I dont dare to eat it anymore even if I have to die. Su Qingcheng guffawed and tugged Mu Chenyans hand along as she walked out. Turning around the corner of the hotel, a man took out his phone and called a number, Big Brother, those two chicks just came out. Chapter 246 - Learning of Things That Shouldnt Have Been Known

Chapter 246: Learning of Things That Shouldnt Have Been Known

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Turning around the corner of the hotel, a man took out his phone and called a number, Brother Sheng, those two chicks just came out. ... On thest night of their stay in City C, Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng went exploring the street that was rather popr with street snacks. It was April, and the weather was lukewarm, hence it was the perfect opportunity to visit the night market. There was a hubbub of sounds, and all kinds of items were avable for sale. Su Qingcheng walked and ate at the same time, trying every kind of snack. Still preupied with the load on her mind, Mu Chenyan did not eat much during dinner. Su Qingcheng bought some snacks which she thought was delicious and nned to bring them back to the hotel in case Mu Chenyans appetite improvedter on and she could eat them at night. After walking some distance, the two reached the end of the snack street. This was not a wide road. Compared with the bustling snacks street, it was particrly secluded here. The streetmps were somewhat dim, elongating ones shadow. On the roadside were sparsely mottled shadows, and it was full of trees and bushes. At the abundant flower beds, one or two insects would asionally jump out of it. If she was not following Su Qingcheng, Mu Chenyan would never have dared to walk along such a path. However, this path was the nearer way to the hotel. The two walked alongside each other, talking andughing, not noticing that a ck van had blocked the exit behind them. Su Qingchengs alertness was much sensitive than Mu Chenyan. When she realized that there was a problem after walking half-way, she suddenly pulled Mu Chenyan and said in a low voice, Chenyan, if theres dangerter, dont bother me and just run toward the main road. Mu Chenyan was startled. Only then did she remember to look around. Apart from the few pedestrians, two brawny men had obstructed the way behind, and two burly fellows suddenly appeared from the shop in front. Four people and one car; sealing the path into a dead end! Mu Chenyan knew intuitively that trouble had befallen them. She tugged Su Qingchengs arm, but saw that Su Qingcheng had already got into herbat mode. Qingcheng,e with me... Mu Chenyan tried to keep herposure. Unlike Su Qingchengs confidence and coolness, although Mu Chenyan was not skilled in martial arts, she had experienced many storms in life and was a woman who had seen life and death on a battlefield. The brawny men did not give them time to think and made a dash at them. One of them bellowed, You two b*tches,e with us! Should we just do as you say? Bah! Su Qingchengs handsome face was tainted with a bloody ruthlessness. She pushed Mu Chenyan aside and shouted, Run! Dont look back! Mu Chenyans legs were somewhat feeble. Having pushed aside by Su Qingcheng, she shouted back, Qingcheng, be careful... Su Qingcheng was already entangled in a fight with two of the brawny fellows. Both her legs had locked onto one of the fellows waist, and with a somersault, she hurled the fellow to one side, crashing onto his other partner just nice. The three dropped onto the floor simultaneously. The two men fell heavily. To be exact, they were not prepared. They had not expected this weak chick to be that capable of fighting. Su Qingcheng deftly did a kip up, going into the air andnding back on her feet. When the two other burly fellows saw that the tide had turned against them, they rushed over. One of them charged at Mu Chenyan, while the other dashed to help his partners. The one who darted at Mu Chenyan had a fierce look and said ferociously, B*tch, your death sentence is here. Youve learned of things you shouldnt have known about, and you still think that you can leave City C alive? Mu Chenyan was so frightened that she kept moving backward. Although her body was trembling, she would not lose her bearing. Coldly eyeing the fellow, she reached into her backpack. The fellow rushed over and grabbed Mu Chenyans shoulder. Suddenly, one could only hear an agonizing screaming from him as he covered his face and retreated, hitting the curb, falling, and rolling on the ground. Mu Chenyan had a pepper spray in her hand. Her look was merciless and menacing... She ruthlessly kicked the fellow on the ground in his stomach a few times and scolded, Didnt your mother teach you to speak nicely? Who are you calling b*tch? The man was almost out of breath from Mu Chenyans kicks, and he yelped non-stop. F*ck, who said that the task today was to deal with two fragile women? Damn, Ill scr*w this person when I get back! This b*tch is hitting so unrelentingly. Hows she f*cking fragile? The man waiting in the van on the other side saw that four brawny fellows had actually lost out to two women while trying to catch them Su Qingcheng was fighting against three, while Mu Chenyan had put down one. How could this be four men kidnapping two weak women? It was clearly two heroines battling with four men! When the man in the driver seat saw this, he could not wait any longer. He got down and reprimanded, You pieces of trash! Four men cant even deal with two chicks. Wait till you get back and Brother Sheng will skin you all alive... While speaking, he furiously darted at Mu Chenyan. Su Qingcheng already had a hard time dealing with three fellows. If another one was toe at them at this moment, she would not be able to protect Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan hurriedly turned around and fled as the man behind pursued relentlessly. The pedestrians did not know what was going on and they dodged aside out of fear. No one lent a helping hand. After running a few paces, Mu Chenyan felt that the man behind was almost reaching her. In her heart, she was muttering, Oh no, Ill be dead this time! Without knowing why, her mind was filled with Yuan Xuans exceptionally handsome face, and she could not help but tearfully cried out, Yuan Xuan! Save me! She knew it was useless. Still, she just wanted to shout it out! Ah! Just when Mu Chenyan felt that she would certainly be a corpse that was abandoned on the street, she heard a tragic howling from the man behind. Mu Chenyan stopped in her tracks and turned around in jitters, only to see Shao Yibai, with his bloody eyes that were filled with murderous intent, giving a flying kick to the thug from one side and causing him to roll onto the ground. Leaping into the air, Shao Yibais tough elbow, which was like a reinforced metal, jabbed into the mans chest. One could only hear a cracking sound... That would have been the breaking of the ribs! The manying on the ground instantly went quiet. Mu Chenyan was safe, and she could not believe that Shao Yibai would actually appear out of nowhere as if he had descended from the sky! She nced around. Was Yuan Xuan here as well? On the other side, Su Qingcheng was physically strained and had sustained injuries to her elbows and legs. The woman with strongbat power was not concerned about her injuries though. Her icy gaze had a murderous aura as she delivered heavy blows to the three men. Shao Yibai watched his woman persisted in battle like a warrior, and a bloodthirsty smile emerged in the corner of his lips. It was extremely dangerously alluring! Daisy, go y aside. Leave them to me to practice my skills! As Shao Yibai shouted, he had already charged at them. When Su Qingcheng heard Shao Yibais voice, her uptight being instantly loosened up. She retreated to one side and exited the battlefield. When Mu Chenyan ran over and spotted the wounds all over Su Qingchengs fair elbows and legs, her heart ached for her and her tears began to flow. Its alright, Chenyan. Dont be upset. These are just minor wounds. Are you hurt? While Su Qingcheng wasforting Mu Chenyan, the three men had all been put down by Shao Yibai and were begging for forgiveness on the ground... Well leave them to the police. Lets go. Half an hourter, the police who had been dispatched surrounded this path and used stretchers and handcuffs to greet the five thugs as they apprehended them back to the police station. In the hotel, Mu Chenyan asked for some gauzes and disinfectant to clean and dress Su Qingchengs wounds. Who wants to kill the two of you? Do you know? After much silence, Shao Yibai asked coldly. Chapter 247 - Shao Yibai, You Weren’t This Stubborn Back Then

Chapter 247: Shao Yibai, You Werent This Stubborn Back Then

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Who wants to kill the two of you? Do you know? After much silence, Shao Yibai asked coldly. Weve only been in City C for three days, how could we make any enemies? As Mu Chenyan replied, she carefully wiped the blood from Su Qingchengs wounds. Su Qingcheng did not wail in pain, but it was Mu Chenyan who grimaced in pain as she looked on. What did you alle to City C for? Shao Yibais tone was nd, but it was an indisputable question. When he first tailed these two women, he had not given much thought to it, thinking that the two were just touring around. Little did he expect that it would nearly cost them their lives! Su Qingcheng kept a straight face, seemingly not wanting to respond to Shao Yibai even though he was their savior. Mu Chenyan secretly took a peek at Su Qingcheng. She clearly dared not answer that she had dragged Su Qingcheng along to investigate Zhao Ruoxin. If Shao Yibai knew about it, then Yuan Xuan would also be informed of it. About Qinger, everything was just her spection. This was a grave matter, and before she had investigated thoroughly, Mu Chenyan did not want Yuan Xuan to know anything about it. Shao Yibai watched the two women resisting him with silence and chuckled. He took over the sterilized cotton swab and disinfectant from Mu Chenyan and said in a low voice, Miss Mu, let me do it. Mu Chenyan nced at Su Qingcheng. Although she could see that she was protesting with her eyes, Mu Chenyan opened her hands and indicated that there was nothing she could do about it... Shao Yibai got up and gave Mu Chenyan a room key. Mu Chenyan saw that it was just next door. The intelligent Chenyan knew that this was the time for her to disappear from sight. She went away swiftly. Before Su Qingcheng could stop her, she was already pressed onto the bed by Shao Yibai. Lie still, and lift up your clothes! Her back was burning with pain. Su Qingcheng was also aware that when she had fallen to the ground, she must have hurt her back. However, she felt awkward to have Shao Yibai helping to put medicine on her. Whats there to be embarrassed about? Shao Yibai smiled sinisterly. Which part of your body have I not seen before? Hmm? Su Qingcheng face flushed red out of anger. She bit her lips lightly and disyed a manner of unwillingness. Shao Yibai became very patient at this moment. Daisy, Ill wait for you here. She knew that even if this stand-offsted till the morning, this man would still disy such an attitude. Su Qingcheng turned her face away and angrilyid on her stomach on the bed. Shao Yibai lifted her pale blue id shirt to reveal the traces of blood on her back, which had already dried on the shirt. He touched the wounded spot. It was a grazed wound, and the area injured was ratherrge, but at least it was not deep. However, Su Qingcheng broke out in cold sweat as a result of the pain and bit on her lips even harder. Shao Yibai noticed that and gave her one of his arms. His other hand took the cotton swab and dabbed some povidone-iodine, and he said softly, Dont bite your own lips. Dont you always bite me back in the days? A corner of Su Qingchengs heart was hit hard! She looked at the arm in front of her. It was still as tough as a metal like before. The bronze skin had an alluring sheen that was unique to men. She hesitated for a bit and buried her face into his elbow pit without saying anything at all. When Shao Yibai saw her manner, his heart melted... The cotton swab touched on her wounds, and it was slightly painful and itchy. Su Qingcheng let out a groan. Her cutesy manner was vastly different from the tough woman she was on the path earlier on. Shao Yibais lips twitched and smiled. He ced hisrge hand on her back. The ces that were not hurt were as smooth as ever, and there was the fragrance of a young girl. A shudder passed through Su Qingcheng. She wanted to resist, but Shao Yibaisrge hand exerted some force and pressed her onto the bed once more. Even though her back was facing him, Su Qingcheng still felt so shy that she wanted to hid her face. She dared not look in his direction but could only warn quietly, Stop it! Not only did Shao Yibai not stop, but the area hisrge hand yed about went even wider... Su Qingcheng was mad from shame, and she cursed in a low voice, Rascal! Shao Yibai, you have the military rank of a major general. Dont you think that youre acting like a hooligan now? Oh? Miss Su, Ive forgotten to inform you that Ive retired from the military. Shao Yibais tone was bored stiff, and hisrge hand was still restless. Su Qingcheng continued saying, Even if youve retired, youve gotten honors before. Taking liberties with a woman is a disgrace to those honors! Su Qingcheng, dont you f*cking talk to me about the past! Did you secretly leave me because of that back then? Although Shao Yibai trifled with life, he had always treated women politely. This kind of resentful words had really been spouted out without any thoughts. I dont want to talk about the past with you! Su Qingcheng pped her arms to sit up on the bed. Her hair was a slight mess, but it could not impede her splendid charm. Shao Yibai, you werent this stubborn back then! Ive already made it clear to you. Whether it was in the past or in the near future, its impossible for us! Initially, he was admiring the unmatched beauty of this woman, but this woman was this unromantic and had spouted out such a sentence. Su Qingchengs wordspletely enraged Shao Yibai. He flung away the cotton swab, got up, and threw himself at the woman who had just sat up on the bed. Su Qingcheng could not react in time and was at a disadvantage. When she came to her senses, she was already pinned under him. A piercing pain came from the part of her back that had just been applied with medicine. She frowned and looked up but was met with the mans furious gaze. Id like to see how is it impossible? As he said, Shao Yibai pulled apart her shirt. The buttons came off and flew everywhere. If you dont believe, I can even cause you to be in utter misery and not be able to live nor die in bed! In the past, he had truly been someone as such! Hearing that, Su Qingchengs heart skipped a beat. Her hands pushed against his chest as she raged, Dont you bring up the past! Seeing that she did not even allow him to mention the past, he was suddenly filled with mixed feelings. Those who knew him had said that all his wait during these few years would avail to nothing. Since this woman could leave quietly without any news, she must be a heartless person! This much was expected! Who said that he did not have any grievances these few years? When men felt wronged, they could be even more aggrieved than women! Those are in the past, and there isnt any trace in the first ce, so I hope that youll forget all about it and stop living in the past. Now, you are you, and I am me. Isnt that good? As Su Qingcheng spoke, she began to choke up a little. Hearing that, the tensed up emotions in Shao Yibai was about to erupt. Suddenly, he was like a lion that had lost control. He opened his mouth and bit on Su Qingchengs snowy shoulder. Youve forgotten all about our past? Well then, from now on, Ill leave traces for you so that you wont forget it your whole life, alright? That was one of the few uninjured ces, but it was bitten by this mad man! Are you f*cking crazy? The extremely furious Su Qingcheng lifted her hand and pped Shao Yibai in the face. Let go of me! Shao Yibai was stunned. Always, it had been him who hit others, but fromst time until now, he had been repeatedly hit by Su Qingcheng... However, even though he was beaten, he would never bear to hit her back. He only red at the woman underneath him with eyes that could spurt out a fire. Therge hand that was tasked with invading had ceased its actions. Su Qingcheng continued to utter coldly, Let go of me! Chapter 248 - Your Woman Met with Danger in City C

Chapter 248: Your Woman Met with Danger in City C

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion None of the two gave in, and they confronted each other as such. In terms of martial arts, Su Qingcheng was never Shao Yibais opponent. However, in the confrontation between a man and a woman, there had to be a party that would be the weaker side. Shao Yibai suddenly caught a glimpse of the faint blood trace tainted on the white bed sheet and recalled that he had just thrown himself on her and that she had injured her back earlier on. You should change your clothes. Shao Yibais gaze suddenly became gentle, and there were traces of destion in his hoarse voice. Daisy, I wont force you. Ill give you some time. Hopefully, you dont force me as well... Su Qingcheng had never seen Shao Yibai in this manner. He had always been a tough guy, one who could not be hurt at all, but now it was as if he had died in the war of love. Su Qingcheng hurriedly got up and fled to the washroom. A quarter of an hourter, when she had changed her clothes and came out, Shao Yibai was spotted sitting at the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers. The sparks had died down. In between the light and the dark, coolness and destion were seen on the mans handsome face. Seeing that Su Qingcheng had changed, Shao Yibai nodded at her, got up, and walked over to her side. He suddenly held her head with a hand and nted a kiss on her forehead. Rest well. Ill bring you two back to Luo Hai tomorrow. The sneak attack on her head caused her to feel a burning sensation on her forehead. Su Qingcheng dared not lift her head to look into the mans intense gaze. ... After Mu Chenyan came back from the room next door, Su Qingcheng was seen burying her head into the nket, and her shoulders were shuddering... ... The police in City C did not expect that the Major General of the Shao Family from Capital City would encounter danger in City C. From the bureau chief down to the policemen, everyone felt troubled and uneasy. Bureau Chief Liu, who was returning Shao Yibais call the next day, broke out into a sweat. Major General... Just call me Shao Yibai. Those military ranks are not suitable for use here. Shao Yibai casually remarked. He was not the kind who put on airs. In the army back then, he was also a unique presence. Trifling with life and mucking about; he would cause the new recruits to grumble a lot, but he could also mingle with them in private. Sure, sure, sure, Mr Shao, Im here on behalf of the Public Security Department to offer my apologies... Bureau Chief Liu hated those thugs. City C had never had a major case in over a century, but just when Shao Yibai appeared, such an incident had actually happened! Theres no need to apologize. Shao Yibai spun the lighter in his hand and said in a deep voice, Interrogate those rogues, and find out whos the culprit. I want results! Bureau Chief Liu replied in agreement, Thats for sure. Those who dare to provoke the superiors dont cherish their lives anymore! Hanging up the call, Shao Yibai felt that he had gone slightly overboard by hiding Mu Chenyans whereabouts from Yuan Xuan. He then dialed Yuan Xuans number. Your woman met with danger in City C. ... Mu Chenyan did not expect that just as she was about to leave City C, Yuan Xuan would descend from the heavens that afternoon itself. Truly, he had descended from the heavens! The helicopter designated for the oil field flew straight from Luo Hai to City C. At City Cs small military airport, Mu Chenyan watched the man came down from the helicopter d in a ck windbreaker. The handsome face was quite anxious. He saw Mu Chenyan feeling terribly ashamed and that she had lowered her head like a child who had done wrong. He had wanted to re up at first, but he did not have the mood to do so now. Youre growing more guts. Yuan Xuan hugged Mu Chenyan and muttered to her ears, You actually came here alone and had pretended to go on a business trip to East Bridge! Mu Chenyan could hear the anger in the mans voice. She had wanted to quibble, but after experiencing yesterday nights shock and seeing him now, she wrapped his arms around his waist, and her voice went soft. Ive really gone to work... but after finishing, I came here... You didnt ask me where I was, so Ive didnt lie to you exactly... Mmm! What Mrs Yuan said makes sense. Yuan Xuans tone was gentle, and there were even traces of mockery in his eyes. If I dont ask in the phone, could it be that I wont even know if Mistress had gone to the moon? The moon has no telmunication signal... Mu Chenyan lowered her head and replied quietly. This damn woman. She still had the mood to quibble even now! Yuan Xuan knitted his brows together and turned around to ask Shao Yibai. Who ordered the attack? There was a cold and merciless chill in his tone. When this man was enraged, the consequence would be terrible! The interrogation is still going on. If youre not leaving today, you can go and check it outter on. Shao Yibai had beaten them up heavily. Those men were half-alive, and theyid in the hospital as they were interrogated by the police. You bring them home first. Ill go and have a look. Yuan Xuan made the arrangements and said. He looked at Mu Chenyan and told Yan Jun, When you return to Luo Hai, Mistress has fallen sick. Apply a medical leave for her. Im not sick. Hearing that, Mu Chenyan knew that he was confining her, and she whined as she defended herself. Mistress, better dont speak anymore. Yan Jun quickly stopped Mu Chenyan and gave her a look. Yuan Xuans expression was already extremely unsightly, and it would not do her any good to continue talking. ... The moment the police station received news that the Yuan Familys Third Young Master had arrived at City C from Luo Hai, the honorable one had already appeared at the front door with his bodyguards. Tian Qi followed behind Yuan Xuan, and his face was dark and grim, just like his master. Bureau Chief Liu jogged all the way. He was already near the age of retirement, and he did not expect that he would have to bear such a transgression at such an age. He had been frightened by Shao Yibai in the morning, and someone from Luo Hais Yuan Family had actuallye in the afternoon! The man who was soaked in sweat was all smiles when he saw Yuan Xuan. Third Young Master Yuan, what has brought you here? You see, back then, I and your father and uncle... Bureau Chief Liu, Im not here to talk about the former times. Yuan Xuan was cultured and elegant. His in tone had the air of a gentleman. The victim of yesterdays incident was my Mistress. When Bureau Chief Liu heard that, it was as if all his strength had left him. He supported himself with the handle of the armchair and said with his low voice, Its our mistake, our mistake... We had slipped up in the area of security. Im already working on the case. The leader is called Brother Sheng, and hes the mafia boss in City C. Ive sent men to arrest him. Bureau Chief had known from earlier on that this Brother Sheng was not a well-behaved man. He was finallying to his end! Yuan Xuan did not utter a single word. His gaze was intense as he stared at Bureau Chief Liu, who started wiping the sweat off his forehead again. Rest assured Third Young Master, this time, I dont condone his behavior! Bureau Chief Liu swore, and he could not wait to tear Brother Sheng apart. If Bureau Chief Liu had not indulged him from the beginning, perhaps there wont be todays matter. Yuan Xuan casually remarked, but he was actually criticizing this soon-to-be-retired bureau chief, who had only enjoyed the benefits of his position but did no work at all. Bureau Chief Liu trembled in fear and repeatedly answered, Yes, yes. Yuan Xuans identity was not scary, but the powers behind him were terrifying... Bureau Chief Liu knew that this young one before him just need to simply give a call when he got back to Luo Hai, and his life of a retiree could be changed into life in prison. ... Brother Sheng was arrested very soon, and as usual, he did not resist at all but brazenly followed those who had apprehended him to the police station. However, what was different from the previous times was that he did not know that he would not be able to leave easily this time. Bureau Chief sent in a few able-bodied police and in less than half an hour, the interrogation yielded a result. Howe its Xia Tao? Hearing the policemen reported that Xia Tao was the one who had hired them to kill, Bureau Chief Liu patted his forehead and thought to himself what a disaster this was. Xia Tao was his colleague. He was a righteous man and had served in the force for many years. The only tarnish on his reputation was probably that case with the woman whose surname was Zhao a few years back... Bureau Chief Liu said to his secretary, Quickly inform Old Xia to get away and lie low till the dust has settled. As they were colleagues for many years, Bureau Chief Liu could not bear to see anything bad happen to Xia Tao. The only thing he could do was to help him escape. At this time, a policeman named Xiao Wang came running in him with a pale face and said incoherently, Bureau... Bureau Chief Liu... Bureau Chief Xia has... He hasmitted suicide... Chapter 249 - Mu Chenyan Took out Her Trump Card by Playing the Family Card

Chapter 249: Mu Chenyan Took out Her Trump Card by ying the Family Card

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was not aware of the major changes in City C. After Yuan Xuan came back, he only said that someone hadmitted the crime for their wealth. Regarding this statement, Yuan Xuan was actually not convinced of it as well. However, Xia Tao had died, and in order to protect his colleagues reputation, Bureau Chief Liu had covered up for Xia Tao and reported to Yuan Xuan that the act was due to greed for money. One could not beat someone on their own turf. If Yuan Xuan were to utilize his connections within the boundary of City C, Bureau Chief Liu was the obstacle. After some thoughts, he decided to head back to Luo Hai before making any moves. Anyway, that Brother Sheng need not think ofing out of prison in his lifetime! Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng were escorted back to Luo Hai and were reported sick so that they were on leave and had to stay at home. As for the article for the operation this time, Mu Chenyan had passed it to Zhang Xin earlier on. Hence, during this break, she was totally good-for-nothing. However, the information she had gotten in City C kept weighing on her mind. Mu Chenyan thought that since she was confined at home by Yuan Xuan, so long as that man did not cool down, there was no way she could go out. She needed an opportunity to go to the hospital to see whether she could obtain any useful information from Zhao Yanni. However, how could she avoid arousing Yuan Xuans suspicion? Mu Chenyan came up with an idea. Of course, she would go in the name of visiting Yan Mei! Zhao Yannister stage of treatment was done at Sheng Yu Hospital, and it so happened that Yan Mei was also staying there. ... Mu Chenyan arrived at Sheng Yu Hospital and went to see her mother first. Although every time she came, her mother remained the same and was just lying peacefully there with her fair skin reflecting the weakness of havingid on the bed for a long time, and that she was unaware of the outside world and did not give any reaction; even though her mother was as such, her being alive itself gave Mu Chenyan lots offort and courage. She cleaned Yan Meis body and retrieved the perfume from her bag to spray some of it on her mother. Mother, this is the daisy perfume that you liked the most. Yan Mei used to be a graceful woman, and the reason Mu Chenyan did that was just to get some constion. Her brother was in exile, and his whereabouts were unknown. In Luo Hai, Yan Mei was Mu Chenyans only family. Coming out of the ward, Mu Chenyan went to the nurses station and checked the ward number. Yan Mei was on the seventh floor. Zhao Yanni and Yan Meis wards were two floors apart. Mu Chenyan was not sure if the Yuan Family had stationed someone to stand guard, hence she pretended to lost her way while making it to the ninth floor. Most of the patients had been discharged, but Zhao Yannis state was not that well, hence even after she was released from the hospital at theter period, she would still have to undergo theter stage of psychiatric rehabilitation. On the day the Zong He case happened, she had consumed tons of hallucinogens, which was why she ran to the mountain at the back in the middle of the night. It had been a month since the incident, and Zhao Yanni was gradually regaining her consciousness. However, her body was still very weak. The Yuan Family did not mind the hospital cost, so while other people would go home to recuperate, Zhao Yanni was still staying in the VIP ward. There was not anyone sent by the Yuan Family to stand guard at the corridor, and this delighted Mu Chenyan. The VIP wards were all single rooms and had 360 degrees of no dead angle closed-circuit monitoring. Mu Chenyan had decided that if Yuan Xuan asked her why did shee to see Zhao Yanni, she would be truthful ande clean. From Mu Chenyans point of view, Yuan Xuans attitude was somewhat odd. He seemed to have chosen to overlook her action of going to City C secretly. Since the days of their return, he had not questioned her at all. Mu Chenyan pushed open the utched door and saw that poor woman on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze. She looked vastly different from how she was during the Spring Festival a few months back as she seemed to have aged by a decade. Hearing the sound of the door opening, a trace of vitality shed through the womans dim and lifeless eyes. Seeing it was Mu Chenyan, Zhao Yanni was rather taken aback. Her pale lips quivered, and that phrase Miss Mu was stuck in her throat... Mu Chenyan sensed that the current Zhao Yanni was not the same person who had feigned madness during the Spring Festival, but because of the poisoning, her reaction was now indeed slower than ordinary people. Aunty Zhao! Mu Chenyan called out in a crisp voice and ced the fruits she had brought on the bedside cab. She moved a chair and sat close to the bed. I came to visit my mother, so I dropped by to see you. Are you feeling any better? Mu Chenyan was sweet-looking, to begin with. Because of the beautys approachability, coupled with the fact that she truly sympathized with Zhao Yanni, the emotions expressed in her eyes were a genuine heartfelt concern. Zhao Yanni had mixed feelings. It had been long since someonest came to visit her. Every time Zhao Ruoxin came, she would only stand afar. When had she ever speak to her such gently and kindly? Miss Mu, Im very happy that you came to see me... After thinking for a long moment, only then did Zhao Yanni utter a sentence that reflected her feelings at this moment. Mu Chenyan smiled and took out an apple from the fruits bag. The crispy and sweet red apple rotated in Mu Chenyans hand. After peeling the skin, she gave it to Zhao Yanni and smilingly said, Aunty, my mother has been in aa for many years. Every time Ie to the hospital, Ill be thinking of that day when she could eat the apple Ive pared. Id be thrilled to death then! Zhao Yanni trembled as she took the apple. The woman, who had not been treated kindly for years, was now revealing an exciting look. Her former husband had left her, her second had abused her, while her daughter had used her... It seemed that from the age of 30, the pleasure she had gotten behind Shu Hengs back was the beginning of the suffering of her life! Thinking back to the sharp reversal of her life and the fall from a great height, the woman who had suffered half her lifetime now received love and care from someone at this time, all her psychological defenses copsedpletely, and she burst into tears... Mu Chenyan did not console her but handed her tissues. The woman took one tissue after another as her tears flowed wantonly. After a long time, only then did Zhao Yanni calmed down, her eyes were swollen from the crying. Mu Chenyan said softly, Aunty Zhao, when were feeling unhappy, we feel better after weve let it out, right? Zhao Yanni nodded, and she replied with a hoarse voice, Thank you, Miss Mu. Indeed, she had not felt this relieved for a long time. If it was not for Mu Chenyans visitation, perhaps she would still be keeping all these pent-up grudges in her heart till death. Miss Mu, did youe to see me because of some matters? Although Zhao Yanni was sluggish, after such a long time of thinking, she had guessed that Mu Chenyans appearance was not a coincidence. The corner of Mu Chenyans lips twitched as she smiled. She sat down and did not beat around the bush but went straight to the point. Aunty Zhao, Shu Qingers still alive, am I right? Zhao Yanni trembled, and she looked at Mu Chenyan with an unconceivable gaze. The corner of her lips quivered lightly as she was at a loss for words. After a while, her gaze drifted about as she mumbled, I dont know what are you talking about... Mu Chenyan could see that Zhao Yanni was having an intense inner struggle in her mind. She was not anxious, and she smilingly said. Although Qinger and Xiner are twins and their features are extremely simr, as their biological mother, you can clearly tell them apart, cant you? As Mu Chenyan spoke, she was observing Zhao Yannis reaction. This woman dared not even look at Mu Chenyan. Under Mu Chenyans scrutinization, she became increasingly flustered. Her hands clenched the corner of the nket tightly, and she was engaged in an even more intense struggle within. Qinger did not grow up by your side. The sentiments you have for her must not be as strong as what you feel for Xiner. Xiner was brought up by you, and Im sure that you dont wish for her to die tragically, right? Mu Chenyan took out her trump card by ying the family card. Chapter 250 - Qinger Came to City C Suddenly

Chapter 250: Qinger Came to City C Suddenly

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ill help you seek the truth and avenge Xiners death! Mu Chenyan said firmly. When Zhao Yanni heard Mu Chenyans words, the hesitation in her eyes deepened. Miss Mu, is what you say for real? Mu Chenyan nodded. Zhao Yannis lips quivered, her eyes were humble and persistent as if she had seen a little hope. Why would you want to do that? When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Yannis question, she chuckled bitterly, Aunty Zhao, youve got a poor memory. Have you forgotten? I was also once a murder suspect. Zhao Yanni was stunned as if she had just recalled such an event. She mumbled softly, Ive never suspected you. Hearing that, Mu Chenyan felt rather surprised. As the mother of the victim, Zhao Yanni had actually said that she had never suspected her. Whys that? Mu Chenyan asked. Zhao Yanni answered, Ive felt that there was something fishy about Xiners death. Moreover, Ive known about your mother, Yan Mei. Shes a famous socialite in Jiang Cheng. Although Ive never had any contact with her, Im aware that shes a very nice person. Shes very kind and has done many charitable deeds. How could the daughter she brought up be that cruel... My Xiner... Shes that... that weak... How could one have done that... Perhaps because Zhao Yanni recalled Zhao Ruoxins tragic death, hence she was weeping sadly again. Mu Chenyan heard that Zhao Yanni had personally confessed a truth the woman who had died was indeed Zhao Ruoxin! Aunty, what you said is right. My mother had taught me since young to be kind to others. Id nevermit such a brutal act... When Mu Chenyan spoke up to this point, she began to choke up. However, youre well aware that back then when I was arrested as a suspect, one of the reason was that someone had deliberately framed me... Ive waited painfully for two years in prison. Now, besides you, Im the one who desires the most to find the killer! This made Zhao Yanni saw Mu Chenyans sincerity. Consider it avenging Ruoxins death. Shouldnt you tell me what really happened? How did Qinger and Ruoxin swap identities? As Mu Chenyan spoke, she moved in a step closer, and her pressuring gaze caused Zhao Yanni to have nowhere to hide. Zhao Yanni lowered her head and was somewhat flustered. She whispered, If I tell you the truth, you wouldnt hurt Qinger, would you? Mu Chenyan was taken aback for a moment. After giving it some thoughts, she understood this womans meaning. Even though Qinger had not treated her kindly, she was, after all, her daughter, hence she was worried about Qingers safety. Dont worry, I wont harm Qinger. Moreover, if the Yuan Family knows that Qingers not dead, theyd treat her even better. Howd they harm her? What Mu Chenyan had said was the truth. Just that Old Mistress Yuan alone, she probably was more delighted to see Qinger than to see her. Zhao Yanni sighed gently. She had indeed seen the Yuan Familys kind treatment toward Qinger. Maybe even if Qinger had crossed a line, they would also pardon her. Hence, after considering her words, Zhao Yanni opened her mouth to speak. Three years ago, Ruoxin had an opportunity to have a heart transnt. There was a faint light in Mu Chenyans eyes. She did not interject as she already knew that that heart was acquired through Xia Taos abuse of power by harming a teenager. However, the reason Mu Chenyan did not mention that she had been to City C was so that Zhao Yanni would not feel pressured. After all, Ruoxin was under the provision of Xia Tao at that time, and it was an undignified matter. However, this mother had silently agreed and connived it! Zhao Yanni continued saying, Ruoxins surgery was a sess, and her recovery went well. It was just after Ruoxin had recovered and discharged from the hospital that Qinger came to City C suddenly. Qinger went to City C after returning to the country three years ago? Mu Chenyan was surprised at this oue. This meant that the time when Qinger returned from Italy basically coincided with her time of returning from the UK. However, although Qinger came back to the country, she did return to the Yuan Family! At that time, Mu Chenyan waspletely immersed in the excitement of marrying Yuan Xuan. She had also asked Yuan Xuan about Qingers situation, but Yuan Xuan kept avoiding the topic. Because of Yuan Xuans attitude, hence when it waster rumored in the outside world that Yuan Xuans beloved was his old childhood sweetheart, Shu Qinger, Mu Chenyan nearly believed it. After that, the preparation for the marriage took a year. During this period, Mu Chenyan was so preupied that she had forgotten about Qingers matter. Moreover, the Mu Chenyan at that time was innocent and simple-minded. Sheughed at herself. Qinger hade to City C three years ago. However, when she was here, she was in a terrible mood. She was out of spirits and seemed depressed. As Zhao Yanni recalled the past, she let out a sigh. I thought to myself, at that time, she must have suffered some grievances on the outside. Its just that at that time... I didnt even... notice it... Zhao Yanni med herself and sobbed as she said. When Qinger saw that Ruoxins surgery was a sess, she was also happy. Every day, shed bring her younger sister along as she carried the easel and went painting. Those days were truly the happiest times the three of us had together! If only... If only... it wasnt for that incidentter on... That incidentter on? Mu Chenyan felt that that so-called incident must have been something terrible. Watching Zhao Yanni teared up again, Mu Chenyan felt that she was rather cruel. Everyone would have a past that was hard to recall; the kind of past that would wrench ones heart once it was looked back on. What she was exposing might just be the scar in Zhao Yannis heart! Qinger had grown up in the Yuan Family since young, so her inherent aura was different. Coupled with the fact that she was pretty, that damned bastard husband of mine had long had some ideas on Ruoxin. It was just that Ruoxins physical condition did not allow it, so he dared not touch Ruoxin, but then Qinger appeared... Mu Chenyan did not pressure Zhao Yanni, and she began to spill it all out. Reaching this point, Zhao Yanni was slightly hesitant, and there was much uneasiness in her eyes. She lowered her head and dared not look at Mu Chenyans expression. You mean, he... he touched Qinger? Mu Chenyans heart skipped a beat. She and Qinger, though they did not have a close rtionship, yet hearing that she had been bullied and that her mother might just have been an aplice, a feeling of repulsion arose in Mu Chenyans heart. She gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao Yannis pitiful look. All her sympathy suddenly turned into a kind of abhorrence! Those who were pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to their lows! Did he force Qinger? No. He was a doctor, so he had lots of anesthetics... He drugged Qinger... As Qingers mother, how could you have allowed such a thing to happen? Mu Chenyan stood up and finally could not help but used Zhao Yanni. Having previously seen how Shu Qinger had treated Zhao Yanni, if the bystanders were to say it was uneptable, Mu Chenyan was able toprehend the reason behind it now. Although Shu Qinger had brought Zhao Yanni back to Luo Hai, there must have been hatred in her heart! Zhao Yanni sniveled and appeared remorseful. I had no choice. That man was savage. If we were to resist, he wouldve beaten Ruoxin and me to death! After my divorce with Shu Heng, my parental home felt that I was a disgrace and refused to have anything to do with me. I had no one to go to, and I was helpless... After that man got what he wanted, he even said that Qinger was not a virgin and that he had suffered a loss... When Mu Chenyan heard that, she suddenly felt like going ballistic! Luckily, that man was already dead. Otherwise, how could he be allowed to live in the world peacefully? He himself hadmitted such a shameless act, yet he dared to say such things! What happened after that? Mu Chenyan asked coldly. Zhao Yanni shrunk her body. Recalling that scene seemed to terrify her. When Qinger woke up and knew that she had been vited, she kicked up a tremendous fuss, and as she suffered a breakdown, her strength was astoundingly strong. The few of us could not hold her down, so running out of options, the damned bastard gave her a shot of tranquilizer... Mu Chenyan was speechless. Chapter 251 - Can’t Allow Qinger to Return to Luo Hai

Chapter 251: Cant Allow Qinger to Return to Luo Hai

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zhao Yanni realized how despicable her actions were. She lowered her head and dared not meet Mu Chenyans gaze. Miss Mu, you must be looking down on me, arent you? Although due to the medication, Zhao Yanni was sluggish and her eyes were not that animated like ordinary people, she could still read ones facial expression. Mu Chenyan was eyeing her with anger. She had really failed as a mother! Treating Qinger this way, arent you afraid that she would tell the Yuan Family after she returns to Luo Hai? Mu Chenyan suppressed the rage within and asked in a low voice. We were afraid! It was because of that we cant allow Qinger to return to Luo Hai... Zhao Yannis voice trembled as she continued saying, That damned bastard said that if Qinger heads back to Luo Hai, things would be brought to light. Hes the mastermind, while Ruoxin and I were his aplices. None of us can escape! Was that why you all thought of letting Zhao Ruoxin take Qingers ce toe back to Luo Hai? Mu Chenyan could guess the oue of this whole thing. Ruoxin had spent some time with Qinger, so she was rather familiar with her tracks in Luo Hai. Because Qinger was mentally unwell, she had been staying at Zong He for the first few months after she was back in the country, but after that, she had actually sneaked out! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan was taken aback. No wonder Yuan Xuan was reluctant to reveal Qingers whereabouts. When Ruoxin went back to Luo Hai and had stayed at Zong He for some time, she had given me a call saying that she had fallen in love with a man. Very soon, she told me that she was pregnant with that mans child. As Zhao Yanni recounted, remorse was seen on her face. If I had known that the ending would be as such, I would never have let Ruoxine to Luo Hai no matter what... A man? Did Ruoxin ever tell you anything about that man while she was still alive? About that man, probably even Yuan Xuan did not know who he was. Otherwise, after so many years, with the Yuan Familys capability, it was impossible to have not captured the murderer. This man should be a good starting point! At that time, Qinger was confined by us. Not long after Ruoxin had arrived at Luo Hai, she then began to secretly send me money. She told me that that man was very powerful, and that very soon after she had given birth to the child, she would bring Qinger and me to Luo Hai so that they wont have to tolerate that evil bastard stepfather anymore. While speaking, Zhao Yanni smiled bitterly. Not long after that... Ruoxin... was met with that tragedy... What unfolded next, Mu Chenyan already knew all about it. For more than 700 days and nights, the questions Mu Chenyan had pondered on were mostly answered now. Yuan Xuan had once made it clear to her that the child was not his. The man Ruoxin was having a rtionship with must have given Zhao Ruoxin a promise, which was why she was that confident. It was just that too many tides were turned after that, and the fate of many was changed. One particr example was Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan stood up and looked out of the window. It was a sunny April. The wind was gentle, and flowers blossomed by the bridge. It should have been a warm season, yet she felt the chill of winter! After that, how did Qingere back to Luo Hai? About this matter, Mu Chenyan did not believe in the pretext Shu Qinger had told when she first arrived at the Yuan Family. Perhaps, Qinger had also used Xia Tao? After all, she had remained in City C, and since Xia Tao was once Zhao Ruoxins sugar daddy, with Ruoxin leaving, Qinger would have certainly been her substitute. The money Ruoxin sent back was discovered by that gambler bastard. With the money, he indulged in gambling even more, and he finally gambled his life away. Qinger and I were free atst! Just some time ago, a mysterious man contacted Qinger and said that he can help Qinger to return to the Yuan Family in Luo Hai. A mysterious man? Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that there was something fishy about this matter. She then asked, Could he be rted to that man Ruoxin was previously acquainted with in Luo Hai? Zhao Yanni was clearly unsure, and she shook her head in a perplexing way. Ruoxin did not tell me who that man in Luo Hai was. Mu Chenyan was in great confusion. Although she had some clues, yet if she could not find the father of the child in Zhao Ruoxins belly, this whole matter would not take shape. She was not the police. All these years, the Luo Hai police were also investigating this case. Apart from her discovering that there was an issue with the identity of the deceased, could the Luo Hai police have note across any useful information? Mu Chenyan sighed and felt that she was like a private detective... Zhao Yanni looked at Mu Chenyan timidly and quietly asked, Miss Mu, theres something that Id like to ask you for your favor. Mu Chenyan replied gently, Tell me, and Ill do my best to help you. No matter what, you have to find a way to help Qinger. Shes a child with a bitter fate, and it is I who have wronged her. If anything happens to her in the near future, you have to help her... While speaking, Zhao Yanni covered her mouth and began to weep again. Aunty Zhao, about the favor youre asking for, is it because you know that the poisoning case in Zong He wasmitted by Qinger? Mu Chenyans gaze had never once left Zhao Yanni, and her tone was extremely firm. Zhao Yanni shuddered and shook her head. No. It wasnt Qinger. It wasnt her... Zhao Yanni became rather emotional. Her face flushed red as she seemed to be engaged in intense inner conflict. She dodged Mu Chenyans stare, and her body turned sideways like she was trying her best to get away from Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan looked at the closed-circuit monitoring and rxed her tone, asking persistently, Aunty, whether it was done by Qinger, you know it well in your heart. If you dont tell me anything now, I dont know how to help you. You have a way! You can plead with Third Young Master, and hell listen to you, right? It turned out that Zhao Yanni was thinking of seeking Yuan Xuans help. How do you know that Yuan Xuan would listen to me for sure? Mu Chenyan chuckled bitterly. Even she herself did not even know that between Yuan Xuan and her, who was circling around who? Third Young Master Yuan only has you in his heart. Hell definitely listen to your words! Qinger had told meter on that it was because Yuan Xuan wanted to marry you that she was mentally deranged and was admitted into Zong He... Mu Chenyan was dumbstruck. She fell back a few steps and bumped into the chair, which fell over to the ground and knocked into the corner of the table. The fruits she brought scattered all over, ttering on the ground. Zhao Yanni looked at the flustered Mu Chenyan and continued saying, Ive known since the beginning that the rtionship between a man and woman could not be forced upon. Qinger and Yuan Xuan had grown up together since young, hence all she thought about in her heart was him. However, Qinger didnt have a good fate. After such an incident, how can I still ask the Yuan Family to have her as their daughter-inw... However, Qinger wasnt willing to give in. Ill tell you the truth, the reason shes back at the Yuan Family now is to snatch back Yuan Xuan. I think Miss Mu wouldve noticed that. Im afraid that shell do some terrible things to you in the near future. I beg you to look at the misery of our mother and daughter and pardon her. When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Yannis words, she lightly let out a sigh. Previously, she had not understood where did Zhao Ruoxin obtain the confidence and courage from for her to openly disy her affection toward Yuan Xuan. At that time, she was only utilizing her sisters identity to enter into the Yuan Family. Now that Mu Chenyan knew that she was the real Shu Qinger, she could understand her dedication to Yuan Xuan. The Zong He case really has nothing to with Qinger! I beg you, Miss Mu, please, no matter what, you must help me to take care of Qinger! Although this request might seem to go overboard since theres no rtion between you and I, youing here today to see me has made me happy, and I could only ask for a favor. Without being sure whether it was because Zhao Yannis expression was overly forlorn,passion bloomed in Mu Chenyans heart, and she nodded lightly, I promise you. Chapter 253 - Go Upstairs If You Want to Hear the Cats Meowing.

Chapter 253: Go Upstairs If You Want to Hear the Cats Meowing.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan studied Yan Jun as she spoke. The face of the top-rated assistant reddened, and the slight grievance he experienced in the afternoon suddenly turned into nothing. Mistress seems to be thanking the wrong person? Yuan Xuan had yet to physically arrive but the sound of his voice had already drifted into Mu Chenyans ears... Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan had already stepped one foot into the hall when she raised her head. His silver-gray windbreaker made him look even more elegant and handsome. Ah Fu jogged over and took the jacket that Yuan Xuan had removed before hanging it on the clothes stand. She smiled. Mistress likes those two kittens. She really likes them... Mu Chenyan carried the little yellow kitten in her arms. She was nning on feeding it milk. However, that thought immediately dissipated when she saw that Yuan Xuan had returned. Yuan Xuan had previously hated furry things the most. Although these two Ragdoll cats were very small and awfully adorable, they were still extremely hairy creatures that pooped and peed at the end of the day. Yuan Xuan could not help but avoid these things in the past. Now that the two of them had arrived at the Hibiscus Garden at once, Mu Chenyan did not know whether Yuan Xuan wouldin or not. Mu Chenyan was so frantic that she did not know what to do in the moment. When Yan Jun saw that Mu Chenyan was hesitating, he chuckled. Mistress has certainly thanked the wrong person. Young Master was the one who asked me to buy these kittens for Mistress to y with all along. Yuan Xuan had already approached Mu Chenyans side. Hebed through the strands of her hair with his fingers. His fingertips were slightly warm to the touch and his deep syrupy voice echoed, Does Mistress like them? Yuan Xuans voice was casual and unhurried. It was eerily simr to his gentle and affectionate manner. However, this was not a private space that only included both of them because Yan Jun and Ah Fu were present as well. These were intimate actions that were only meant for the times when both of them were together. How could he say those things in the presence of outsiders? The tips of Mu Chenyans ears quickly turned red while she lowered her head. Her little hands faintly trembled as she used the pads of her fingers to rub the kittens ears. Theyre cute. Why did you buy me these kittens? Dont you hate furry things the most? Its fine as long as Mistress likes them! Yuan Xuan smiled as he pulled Mu Chenyan into his arms. His deep voice was slightly hoarse as he said, These two kittens are nothing. I wouldnt stop you even if you wanted to build a whole zoo! When the faint scent of Mu Chenyans body invaded his nostrils and sensory organs, Yuan Xuan took a deep breath but could barely restrain himself from swallowing his saliva! It seemed as though he waspletely unable to resist her scent. Whenever Yuan Xuan was tempted by that scent every time he approached Mu Chenyan, he would think of taking the next step to ravage her... No matter how many times he desired her, this woman always possessed a coy sort of inexperience. Moreover, Mu Chenyan would be recklessly mad every time she became aroused while she was underneath him. It was certainly a fatal form of attraction! Yan Jun was rendered helpless as he saw their intimate interactions. He angrily recoiled his head. Young Master, I... Ill be leaving first? Yes, I wasnt nning on asking you to stay for dinner! Was he still hoping that Third Young Master would invite him for dinner when he was such an obvious third wheel? Hmph! Yuan Xuan turned his head to look at the kittens before asking, Have you given them names, Little Chenyan? Not yet because I was thinking of keeping one and giving the other to Big Tian. Mu Chenyan held the little yellow kitten in her palms and struggled in Yuan Xuans embrace before shemented, Its not surprising that certain women keep cats or dogs and treat them like children! Little guys like this are certainly unbearably cute... Yuan Xuans expression darkened. He was clearly jealous as he saw his wife look at the kitten with a terribly gentle gaze. He had bought the cat and brought it home to make her happy but she would not even look him in the eye because of this animal now. Moreover, how could a cat possibly bepared to ones own child? You still need to bear a child! Youll definitely like the child and when that timees, you can let him y with this kitty. When she heard Yuan Xuans words, Mu Chenyan inwardly found it ridiculous. This man was really immature. He was stillpeting with a cat and feeling jealous despite being so old! Youre always talking about children. Why are you making it seem as though Ive already promised you one? Mu Chenyan felt as though Yuan Xuan was saying increasingly excessive things. When he unabashedly disyed his affections for her in front of his assistant, she simply pretended not to hear him and ran upstairs while carrying the two little kittens instead. Every time Yuan Xuan mentioned children, Mu Chenyan would behave in this manner by remaining indifferent and refusing to answer. Yuan Xuans heart had be more stifled and anxious as his requests were continuedly mildly rejected by her. When he turned around, Yuan Xuan saw that Yan Jun was still standing in the hall. His expression became stern before he asked, Werent you leaving? Why are you still timidly standing there like a blockhead? Are you really nning to try Ah Fus cooking? Yan Juns face hardened while his heart fumed with rage. His boss was really someone who became unreasonable in the presence of the opposite sex because he was only concerned about his wife now. He would not even allow his loyal assistant to stay for dinner. On the contrary, he merely wanted to shove public disys of affection across the room and down his throat... Mu Chenyan went upstairs to help the two little kittens properly settle down. She fed them some milk and kibbles for young cats. The two little kittens caused a ruckus as they tossed and turned everywhere inside their basket once they were full. Mu Chenyan thought that since the third floor was spacious and Yuan Xuan rarely went up there, she would simply allow both of them to y outside the basket. The little kittens became naughtier when they scattered about and yed. They could not steadily stand up but it did not affect them as they excitedly explored their surroundings. Mu Chenyans mood drastically improved as she watched over them. The gloomy feeling that had arrived after she heard the news in the hospital today waspletely swept away. Mu Chenyan went to shower after she had eaten her dinner. Zhao Yannis words repeatedly echoed in her mind as Mu Chenyany on the bed after blow-drying her hair. She waspletely unaware of Yuan Xuans dark silhouette that had quietly approached her... Yuan Xuan pushed Mu Chenyan underneath his body before he moved his warm lips next to her ears and whispered, My kitten, hasnt it been a long time since you meowed in my arms? Yuan Xuans body temperature was scorchingly hot as he was aroused. They fitted together perfectly when he hugged her from behind. Mu Chenyans ears became itchy from being tickled. She knew that when Yuan Xuan bought her those two kittens he certainly wouldter expect her to repay him with benefitster. Go upstairs if you want to hear the cats meowing. Those are the actual kittens! Mu Chenyan panted while she avoided Yuan Xuans breath that escaped from his lips but her body responded honestly as if it were telling its master that she was aroused! Yuan Xuansrge hands became mischievous when he saw that Mu Chenyan did not mean what she said. He slowly probed her body from top to bottom while repeatedly massaging and kneading it. Despite her soft protests, he always used just the right amount of force. I love it when you cry out for me! As he spoke, Yuan Xuan gently nibbled on Mu Chenyans shoulder and caused her entire body to tremble before she quietly moaned... Yuan Xuan gingerly kissed her delicate shoulders while he removed her clothes with hisrge hands. The words carelessly tumbled out of his mouth as he sighed. Who invented womens sleepwear? These clothes are terriblyplicated! Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. When she recalled how Yuan Xuan had forced her to wear basically bare erotic lingerie every night while they were at the Liu Li Vi, Mu Chenyans face temporarily turned pink. Yuan Xuan turned her body over so that their eyes met. He lowered his head and gently pecked her starting from her forehead. He did not miss a single spot. Mu Chenyans vision became blurry while her entire body burned up as he teased her. Her arms were suddenly wrapped around his shoulders. Intense heat waves surged through the inside of her body. Mu Chenyans ears were filled with shameless nder that Yuan Xuan had never actually said while her legs had unconsciously coiled themselves around his waist. Are you ready, vixen? Mu Chenyan gently nodded after Yuan Xuan forced out an answer from her. Youll really be the death of me! Chapter 254 - I Was Worried About Leaving Mistress Unsatisfied.

Chapter 254: I Was Worried About Leaving Mistress Unsatisfied.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Halfway through the deed, Mu Chenyans voice sounded hoarse as she said, Im thirsty... Her coy murmurs were tinged with a perfectly sluggish tone. Yuan Xuans sweat droplets glistened as they trickled onto her forehead. Yuan Xuan stopped when he heard Mu Chenyan quietly mumble but he was reluctant to leave. Yuan Xuan was suddenly struck by an idea. He lifted up Mu Chenyans light body and exited the bedroom. Where... Where are you going? Mu Chenyan looked around while feeling rather embarrassed. Her little hands grabbed Yuan Xuans shoulders as she continuously shivered. In her mind, the bedroom was the only ce where they could do such things. Aside from that, everywhere else was inconceivable. Im taking you to get some water! Yuan Xuan quietly murmured. His voice was unusually hoarse while the mes that were gushing out of his gaze rapidly burned! As he spoke, Yuan Xuan propped Mu Chenyan up against a wall in the corridor before he engaged her in another round of attacks... From the second floor to the hall on the first floor, Yuan Xuan would take a few steps before pausing and continuing on with another round... The two of them werepletely inseparable as they headed down the stairs... Once they were downstairs, Yuan Xuan ced his exhausted wife on the sofa while he went to get her a ss of water. Mu Chenyan faintly blushed due to the fact that there was not a single thread of cloth on her entire body. She graciously took the water that Yuan Xuan passed to her and drank it in a more hurried manner than usual. Why are you rushing? Yuan Xuans smile harbored ill intentions. Mu Chenyan grew timider when she heard the implications behind his words. Her voice was not as hoarse as before once she had finished drinking the water. Mu Chenyan was faced with Yuan Xuans exquisite eyes when she lifted her head. The two adults were like Adam and Eve in their own paradise. When Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuans gaze had shifted towards her supple body, she bashfully covered herself up with her hands. Youre not allowed to look at me like that! Oh? Is Mistress saying that I cant look but I can only do this instead? Mu Chenyan cried out in shock as his lips ambushed her once again. Their inseparable bodies started to intertwine again long before she could protest... Yuan Xuan had initiated an unorthodox route. They moved from the sofa to the dining table, andter to the deck chair on the veranda before finally ending up on the kitchen counter. There was no ce that he did not try. Yuan Xuan, I... Ive never starved you... right? Mu Chenyan who had been tormented to the point of exhaustion was finally unable to hold back her protests. Since her legs were too numb to support herself, Yuan Xuan was free to pin her down. Yes, Mistress has never starved me. However, I am worried about leaving Mistress unsatisfied instead! Yuan Xuan ravaged her whilst shamelessly boasting. ... Mu Chenyan had started to question her life as she found herself in the bathroom on the opposite side of the mirror where she saw Yuan Xuan behind her thrusting back and forth. Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing? ... Late morning Mu Chenyan could barely struggle free from her dreams. All four of her limbs felt weak and her entire body had been invaded by an aching sensation. She raised her head and nced around the room before realizing that Yuan Xuan had gone somewhere much earlier. Mu Chenyan mentally cursed him. Why did she have to suffer when he was the one who did not know how to practice moderation? Since today was a weekend, she guessed that he would not be at work. Mu Chenyan grabbed a loose white pullover and a pair of denim jeans out of the closet. She was concerned about the two little kittens upstairs. Mu Chenyan took some milk out of the fridge and warmed it but she was stunned to see the scene before her when she brought it upstairs. She merely saw Yuan Xuan squatting on the ground. His torso was wrapped in a pullover that was the same style as Mu Chenyans but in a different color. He wore it with a loose pair of ck straight-leg pants. Yuan Xuan had rolled his sleeves up to his elbows while his statuesque figure that was taller than a models was positioned in a lowered stance. He held the kittens food bowl in one hand and carried some milk in the other as he carefully prepared their food. The little kittens hungrily whined and determinedly stretched their bodies while rushing towards the food in Yuan Xuans hands. They wanted to tumble out of the basket. However, this cat basket had be theirrgest obstacle because their ws were not strong enough yet. Dont worry, Daddy will let you eat once the food is properly mixed. Mommys really tired fromst night. You wouldve starved to death long ago if you were waiting for her to feed you! Yuan Xuan spoke while using his slender fingers to knead the cat food that they were about to eat before he softened it with the milk that was specially prepared for this purpose. Little Yellow whined, Meow meow, meow meow. Little ck whined, Meow meow, meow meow. Mu Chenyan was speechless. Daddy? Mommy? Mu Chenyan cleaned her eyes. Had she misheard him? He used to hate furry things the most... When Yuan Xuan realized that his wife was nkly staring nearby, the corners of his mouth stretched into a smirk. Look, your mommy is awake! Little Yellow and Little ck meowed while they ate as though they were greeting Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan blushed while she looked at those two Ragdoll cats and gently said, The yellow one is called Little Ginger Fur Ball because its the fattest while the ck one is Briquet. Ill call Yuan Tian toe over and pick one in awhile. Ill buy another two and give them to Yuan Tian. These two are perfect because ones male while the other is female. We should let them stay together aspanions because theyll be very unhappy if you raise them separately! Yuan Xuan spoke casually as though he had nned this much earlier. Mu Chenyan only knew now that Briquet was male and Little Ginger Fur Ball was female... Briquet seemed to say, Meow meow... Daddy is right! Meanwhile, Little Ginger Fur Ball seemingly said, Meow meow... I dont want to be separated from my Big Brother! Are you sure theyre siblings? Mu Chenyan was surprised. Theyre not but I know that theyre innocent ymates like us. Mu Chenyan was speechless. Yuan Xuan rose and hugged Mu Chenyan while he spoke. His embrace was unusually warm. Mu Chenyans body trembled when she remembered their intimate interactionsst night before she blushed. Little Ginger Fur Balls mother is a yellow Persian cat while Briquets mother is a Vietnamese breed. Its probably fated that these two little guys ended up here! Yuan Xuan lowered his head and nced at the two greedy little creatures before he smiled and said, They can act like siblings first when theyre younger before they be mates once theyre older. Then they can give birth to a litter of Little Briquets and Little Ginger Fur Balls... Before Mu Chenyan could reply, Yuan Xuan continued, Just like us! Mu Chenyan was speechless. ... Little Ginger Fur Ball started rubbing against Briquets body and whined like a spoiled little girl once it had finished eating. Briquet was also a young kitten but it behaved like a Big Brother. It licked Little Ginger Fur Balls head with its light pink tongue while meowing and fervently doting on it. When she looked at the two kittens, Mu Chenyan thought that Yuan Xuan was likening those two little creatures to themselves. Mu Chenyan reached out and pulled Little Ginger Fur Ball off Briquets body before she quietly rebuked it. Little Ginger Fur Ball, dont you have any morals? Hmm? Mu Chenyan was actually referring to herself! Little Ginger Fur Ball whined when it was pulled away. It kicked its little ws in the air and disyed a pitiful gaze. Then, without warning, its body charged in the direction of Briquet while baring its teeth! Briquet meowed in protest as well and it fiercely growled at Mu Chenyan... Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded before she suddenly recalled something. Did she not look like this as well when she hung around Yuan Xuan in the beginning? Ah Fu mbered up the stairs at this moment. She smiled as she asked, Mistress, should I take these two little guys downstairs to y? Ah Fu had yet to be fully matured. She would still behave like a wide-eyed child whenever she observed exciting things. Mu Chenyan nodded and allowed Ah Fu to take the cats basket downstairs. The second floor Study Room Yuan Xuan had a solemn expression on his face as he got dressed. He walked out while putting on his jacket. Mu Chenyan approached him and asked, Where are you going? As it was Saturday today, Yuan Xuan would not leave the house under normal circumstances. Both of them had already nned to go to Liu Li Vi together in the afternoon. Yuan Xuan stroked the bangs in front of Mu Chenyans forehead and faintly said, Its nothing. Im going to the hospital but you can wait for me at home. A bad feeling suddenly emerged in Mu Chenyans heart when she heard him mention the hospital. She firmly gripped Yuan Xuans sleeve while her voice quivered as she pressed him further, What happened? Yuan Xuan felt that it was probably wrong to continue hiding the truth from Mu Chenyan at this point. He lowered his voice and replied, Zhao Yannimitted suicidest night. Shes already breathed herst breath. Im going over to see but you can just wait at home for me to return. Chapter 255 - Two Thermometers

Chapter 255: Two Thermometers

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan felt that it was probably wrong to continue hiding the truth from Mu Chenyan at this point. He lowered his voice and replied, Zhao Yannimitted suicidest night. Shes already breathed herst breath. Im going over to see but you can just wait at home for me to return. Mu Chenyan felt as though a lighting bolt had struck the top of her head. She had just met that woman and spoken to her yesterday. How could she have left this earth just like that? People who have had near death experiences in the past would still find it very difficult to ept the sudden passing of someone whom they knew well. Mu Chenyan tugged on Yuan Xuans sleeve and quietly said, Yuan Xuan, let mee with you! Yuan Xuan could tell that Mu Chenyan was feeling unusually sad. Mu Chenyan kept thinking back to how Zhao Yannis final reaction was slightly abnormal when she had left the hospital yesterday. However, she had not noticed it then. If only... Alright. The light in Yuan Xuans eyes dimmed. He did not say anything to stop her but wore his jacket instead before walking out to the front. Mu Chenyans state of mind was chaotic but she hastened her steps and followed behind him. ... Hospital It was certainly a serious issue because an intensive care patient in the VIP ward had died from swallowing two thermometers in the washroom. Normally, a nurse would be present in every ward each night since this was the VIP ward. Zhao Yannis nurse was a thirty-year-old woman who waspletely terrified as a result of what had happened. She sat in the supervisory control room in a daze while the police interrogated her. The incident happened at 5 in the morning. Miss Zhao said that she wanted to get up and relieve herself. Shes usually a very light sleeper and today was no exception. Thus, she didnt go back to sleep after she had woke up at 5 oclock to relieve herself. She began to change her clothes after she came back from the washroom. I asked her why she had removed her hospital gown... She didnt answer me but went to the sink to wash up instead. Miss Zhao had even put on some light makeup. I found this strange so I got up and frantically called the doctor over! Miss Zhao stopped me and said that she had a headache and was probably having a fever as well. She asked me to get a thermometer from the nurses station. Once I brought it over to her, Miss Zhao took her body temperature on her own and suddenly said that her stomach was unwell. Then, she took the thermometer into the washroom... The womans entire body trembled as she spoke. The scene she described was truly terrifying. When the nurse saw that Miss Zhao had not left the washroom after half an hour, she became frightened and yelled for the hospitals security guards and other nurses to help her break open the lock... Zhao Yanni spat out fresh blood when she was discovered. She was also in an abnormal amount of pain. The hospital hurriedly set about emergency treatment for her before they realized that she had swallowed two whole thermometers. One could tell then how determined she was to die. The young nurse at the nurses station added, Miss Zhao asked for a thermometer once when Miss Mu left during the day. We were very busy at that time so I told her to return it after she was done. However, that thermometer... Thus, after the change of shifts, no one at the nurses station knew that Zhao Yanni had hidden a thermometer from one of the private rooms in her hands... The mercury poisoning and her abdominal puncture that was caused by the thermometers sharp ss made it impossible for even a miracle-working doctor to reverse the situation. The hospital hurriedly informed her family members after the emergency treatment failed. The Yuan Family had entrusted this woman to them. Hence, the hospital felt that they had truly wronged them. On one hand, they knew that nothing good could possiblye out of offending the Yuan Family. The hospital received millions in financial aid from the Yuan Family every year. Thus, they felt that they had greatly offended their financial backer now. On the other hand, Zhao Yanni hadmitted suicide and intentionally avoided the surveince cameras by choosing the washroom as her ce to carry out the act. Consequently, although it would be difficult, the hospital could still defend themselves by saying that it was an ident. Fortunately, Zhao Yanni had left a suicide note. Strangely enough, she did not leave it for her own daughter because the words To Mu Chenyan were written on the crumpled paper. The police had finished their interrogation of the nurses when Yuan Xuan appeared with Mu Chenyan. The police officer who had arrived on the scene first respectfully spoke to Yuan Xuan while reporting the situation. Now that she understood Zhao Yannis final preparations before shemitted suicide, Mu Chenyan recalled that before she left, Zhao Yanni had turned to her and said, It would have been really nice if Qinger frequently visited me... Zhao Ruoxins eyes were red and swollen when she returned from the morgue. They could tell that she had been crying nonstop. Zhao Ruoxin became extremely emotional when she saw that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had arrived at the hospital. Zhao Ruoxin was wearing high heels when she arrived as she had no time to consider whether they were suitable or not at that time. She was panting with rage as she quickly rushed over and screamed at Mu Chenyan, What did you say to my mother when you came here yesterday? You b*tch! Mu Chenyan took a small step back while she stared nkly at Zhao Ruoxin. The video surveince footage from the nurses station showed that Mu Chenyan had spoken to Zhao Ruoxin for more than 20 minutes the day before. During this time, Zhao Yannis emotions had drastically changed. Zhao Ruoxins heart was filled with anxiousness when she saw that video. She did not know how much Zhao Yanni had told Mu Chenyan regarding the incident that she did not want her to know about... I never said anything! Im truly sorry for your loss, Im very troubled by this incident as well. Mu Chenyan spoke sincerely. If she knew that Zhao Yanni would have had these thoughts after they met yesterday, she would have stopped her no matter what. Are you still lying, you b*tch? Why would you be so kind as toe and visit her? If you didnt say anything to her, why would my mother kill herself when she was perfectly fine before? Zhao Ruoxin lost control of her emotions as she spoke. She struck out her palm at Mu Chenyan without any concern at all as to what it might do to her image. Mu Chenyan did not dodge it as she had already seen Zhao Ruoxin taking up her stance. She merely lowered her head in anticipation of the iing blow. She was not upset. After all, this was Zhao Ruoxins mother. Thus, it was only natural for Zhao Ruoxin to hate her. However, the pain Mu Chenyan anticipated never arrived. When she raised her head, Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan was holding Zhao Ruoxins arm back. He said sternly, Ruoxin, dont get worked up. This matter has nothing to do with Chenyan! Yuan Xuansposed manner was extremely intimidating while his gaze seemed as though it could pierce through ones eyes. Although she had tried to hit Mu Chenyan in front of him, Yuan Xuan did not kick up a fuss only because she was a rtive of the victim. Brother Xuan, youre still defending her... Zhao Ruoxin started crying. My mother left her a suicide note but did no such thing for me... You foxy woman, what spell have you cast on everyone. Youve blinded every single person... Mu Chenyan only realized that Zhao Yanni had left a suicide note for her after she heard Zhao Ruoxin say this. It seemed as though Zhao Yanni really trusted her because she had apanied her during the final moments of her life. Mu Chenyans heart momentarily spasmed. Zhao Ruoxins heart was filled with anger when she saw Yuan Xuan defending Mu Chenyan. She sobbed before rushing towards Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan, youre a cursed vixen... Mu Chenyan stood rooted to the spot as though she had epted her fate. Yuan Xuan angrily gritted his teeth when he saw how resigned she looked. He pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace while blocking Zhao Ruoxin with one hand. Ruoxin, dont get so emotional. Go get the suicide note so we can see whats written on it. Zhao Ruoxins entire body briefly shivered when Yuan Xuan mentioned the suicide note. The nurse who had discovered the suicide note had kept it and was waiting to hand it over to the police because this was considered as an important piece of evidence. Thus, they did not permit Zhao Ruoxin to see it although she was the deceased womans daughter. Zhao Ruoxin seemed slightly unwilling when she heard Yuan Xuan instructing her to go and get the suicide note. Since the suicide note was addressed to Mu Chenyan, Zhao Ruoxin was worried that she could almost guess its contents. The suicide note... is with the police... Zhao Ruoxins gaze became anxious and hesitant. Yuan Xuan nced at Mu Chenyan before he put his arm around her and led her to the surveince room. This space was being used as a temporary interrogation room. The case was lessplicated because it was a confirmed suicide while the hospital had given Zhao Yanni emergency treatment at the first avable moment. Thus, even if it was to be settled in the future, criminal cases like these would likely be concluded between the two families. However, since the other party was the Yuan Family, a small form ofpensation would definitely be included. Chapter 256 - Ye Kun was probably not his real name.

Chapter 256: Ye Kun was probably not his real name.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan passed her identification card to the police officer before he passed her the suicide note in exchange. The suicide note was actually written on the back of a very long printed receipt. Zhao Yannis handwriting was clear and beautiful while the concise contents of her note read: Miss Mu, please return to the major crimes department and exin to them on my behalf that Im the sole culprit behind the poisoning case at Zong He. It has nothing to do with anyone else! I originally wanted to harm only one person. However, when I ate my medicine that day and fell ill, I apparently put the poison into the whole pot of food and caused many innocent people to be dragged into this. I deserve to die as punishment for my sins! Also, please dont forget the things that Ive entrusted to you... ... Mu Chenyans entire body was shivering as she finished reading the note. Zhao Yanni had protected her daughter with her own life... Although Zhao Yanni did not mention the person whom she wanted to harm, Mu Chenyan felt that it was already unimportant. Zhao Yanni did not bear any strong grudges towards anyone in Zong He. Hence, her actions were definitely instigated by someone else. The conclusion would already be extremely obvious even without her having tomit suicide. Who else would she be willing to defend by sacrificing her own life? Mu Chenyans heart felt stifled. She turned around and said to Yuan Xuan, Is it alright if I return to the major crimes department for awhile? At this point, the Zong He was considered to be a dud. Moreover, Zhao Yannis suicide note could also be considered as a conclusion. Mu Chenyan wanted to go and inform Wu Huai immediately. Yuan Xuan had not seen the contents of the suicide note but there was a look in his dark pupils which implied that he clearly understood it as well. Go then. Ill stay here and deal with this. As he spoke, Yuan Xuan turned around and looked at the pale-faced Zhao Ruoxin. Ruoxin, perhaps you should return to the mansion. Once the issues here are resolved, Ill take your mothers remains back for the funeral arrangements. Zhao Ruoxin was still reluctant. She red angrily at Mu Chenyan and gnashed her teeth together. Zhao Ruoxin understood quite a bit in her heart when she heard Mu Chenyan mention the major crimes department earlier. Zhao Yanni was definitely bearing the brunt of everything on her shoulders when she chose tomit suicide. It seemed like Zhao Yanni had not mentioned the thing that she feared the most. Zhao Ruoxin let out a drawn-out sigh of relief. Zhao Ruoxin had previously concealed some of her hatred towards Mu Chenyan but she had no ns of doing that now. This was particrly apparent when she saw how Yuan Xuan treated Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyans name was simply a nightmare in her mind. Mu Chenyan, you said that this incident has no connection to you but I dont believe that at all! Not only did you harm my mother but you have caused me even greater harm... Zhao Ruoxin miserably nced at Yuan Xuan as she spoke. Yuan Xuans expression darkened but his thoughts were so well-hidden that other people were unable to obtain any information from just looking at his face. Mu Chenyanughed bitterly at what Zhao Ruoxin had said. Her gaze was cold as she indifferently remarked, You should know the person who caused your mothers death better than me! Zhao Ruoxin froze. A hint of panic shed across her eyes before her heart rate that had only just calmed down now leaped up again instantly. Mu Chenyan, what do you know? Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with Zhao Ruoxin because her mother had recently died. She simply said, Zhao Yanni and I have never spoken to each other before! Zhao Ruoxin was speechless. Mu Chenyan nced at Zhao Ruoxin with a meaningful gaze before she left. ... Yuan Xuan sent Yan Jun over to handle the following matters while he drove to the military hospital headquarters instead. Yuan Tangshuo had dispatched his staff to wait for Yuan Xuan at the entrance immediately after he had received a phone call from him. Yuan Xuan had a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw Yuan Tangshuo, he tly asked, Third Uncle, how is Ye Kun? Yuan Tangshuo had never fully understood his nephew. Ye Kun was already at deaths door when he was sent here. However, Yuan Xuan never told his Third Uncle of this mans identity but had only asked him to protect his life. Aside from being poisoned, Ye Kun had also suffered a severe psychological impediment. He would only speak when Yuan Xuan visited him while other people could not even dream of prying his mouth open. Yuan Xuan woulde and visit this man with a mysterious identity every few days. Yuan Tangshuo readjusted his sses. He walked with Yuan Xuan towards the recovering ward. Hell need at least two more months to be restored to the normal physiological standard. Since hes already formed a resistance towards benzodiazepines and pyridoxine, for the time being, well discuss this again at ater point when we see his reactions after we take him off these drugs. Yuan Xuan did not understand the technical aspects but he trusted in Yuan Tangshuo fully. Third Uncle, you can just go ahead and proceed ording to your treatment n. Yuan Xuan, I suggest that he continues with his therapy once hes discharged from the hospital. Were unable to assist you in the psychological aspects but there are different specialists for each field, Yuan Tangshuo added. Yuan Xuan nodded. Im aware of this. If this poisoning case had not happened, I was initially nning to take him to Taiwan for a psychological consultation. Yuan Tangshuo became even more curious when he saw how much Yuan Xuan cared about this man. Yuan Xuan, can you tell me his real identity? I was thinking that Ye Kun probably isnt his real name, right? Yuan Tangshuo had been calm andposed all along. It was not as though he was unaware of the secret scramble for power that was going on throughout the entire Yuan Family. Rather, he preferred immersing himself in his research. Thus, he minded his own business and made sure that his son and daughter did the same because he did not want to be involved in this. Yuan Tangshuo took on the reins of supporting and sheltering his Big Brothers orphaned son. Yuan Xuan had been close to him when he was younger. However, it became harder for him to understand his nephew as he grew older. Yuan Xuan looked at his uncle with cold eyes. He spoke in a deep voice, Youre right, uncle. That isnt his real name. Father gave him this name in the past. Yuan Tangshuo was shocked. Big Brother? Very few people would voluntarily mention Yuan Tangbai in front of Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan faintly nodded. Losing his father at a young age allowed the young prodigy named Yuan Xuan to mature early on. His thoughts were so meticulous that he was considered to be nearly inhuman while his style ofpleting tasks was to always decide and act on his own. Yuan Tangshuo was not hoping that Yuan Xuan would tell him the exact details but he was shocked when he heard that there was a connection between Ye Kun and his Big Brother. Not only were there nurses in Ye Kuns intensive care ward every day but Yuan Xuan had also sent two of his most trusted aides to guard him. The Zong He incident was a lesson. Yuan Xuan was willing to pay the price for his mistakes but Ye Kun only had one life. Yuan Xuan turned to his Third Uncle and said, Ill go in by myself. Third Uncle, you can get back to work. Yuan Tangshuo nodded. This unique patient had never said a single word to anyone even when he was in pain. He could tell that he only trusted Yuan Xuan. The in-patient ward that was specially set up for this man was three times as big as a normal ward. It even had its own toilet and washroom, as well as a separate little kitchen. The nurse was busy cooking millet and pumpkin porridge for Ye Kun in the kitchen. This tall and muscr man had been unable to eat anything when he was first admitted into the hospital due to his intense spasms and because he had gotten his stomach pumped. He was 180cm tall but only weighed 60kg. Both of his eyes were also swollen. During the following month of treatment, millet porridge became the main thing that he ate. Ye Kuns eyes were closed as he sat on a chair in the corner of the balcony. Whether there were other people were present or not, he would look like this every time, as if he has entered his own world. Although the sound of pots and pans crashing together could be hearding from the kitchen where his young carer was busying herself, it did not disturb his meditating state at all. Fourteen years ago, the seriously injured Ye Kun was rescued by the young Yuan Xuan in Luo Hais North Hill Enclosure. Yuan Xuan was only 15 years old then. When Mu Feng brought Mu Chenyan back to Luo Hai one monthter, Mu Chenyan was only 10 years old... Chapter 257 - Miss Mu Is Brilliant

Chapter 257: Miss Mu Is Brilliant

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Uncle Kun, how do you feel today? Yuan Xuan sat beside Ye Kun and used a gentle tone when he spoke to him as though they had been friends for more than a decade. Ye Kun faintly opened his eyes and smiled once he had gotten used to the light. Although he had gone through numerous hardships, his handsome looks from the past could still be faintly seen on his face. Ye Kuns tone sounded faintly distressed as he spoke, Young Master, Im still alright. Ive recently been eating more than usual so Ill probably start getting better soon! Yuan Xuan took a box of cigarettes out from his pocket and reached out to pass them to Ye Kun. This is the vor that Uncle Kun likes! Ye Kun nced at the box. This brand of cigarettes called 1979 were specially supplied to the army. They were harsh cigarettes that could not be bought on the market. Doctor Yuan will scold me if he finds out! Ye Kun took the box from Yuan Xuan although his hands were trembling intensely. Ill hide them from him so that I can smoke them. He sounded childish. Yuan Xuan smiled. Third Uncle is an expert in the medical field. Frankly, you shouldnt smoke because of your overall health! Ye Kun sneered. His hand trembled terribly when he extended it. Since this condition had persisted for over a decade, he could not even lift bowls anymore. No one could have imagined that Ye Kun used to be the greatest sharpshooter in the past. His arms were long and slender while there were tough callouses that neatly lined the bases of four of his fingers. These bruises symbolized the discipline that he went through after experiencing hundreds of battles. My hands are worn out while the rest of myrades are dead. Im the only one living a miserable life today. Aside from the times when I smoke and temporarily forget these things, I feel as though I dont have a single redeeming quality... Ye Kuns eyes clouded over. He had been tormented by PTSD for nearly fourteen years! Yuan Xuan reached his hand out and held Ye Kuns before whispering, Uncle Kun, its all in the past. Ye Kuns lips faintly trembled before he shut his eyes. His hoarse voice sounded mncholic, Young Master, you shouldnt have saved me this time... If you allowed me to go over there and apany them, I actually think that it would have been rather nice... Uncle Kun, thest name of the person who wanted to harm you this time is Mu! Yuan Xuans voice was deep and t while his stern eyes were brimming with coldness. Yuan Xuan had remained silent about the Zong He poisoning case for a long time. Ye Kuns body violently shuddered when he heard that the murderer was a member of the Mu Family. He mbered up from the deck chair and gritted his teeth together so hard that they made screeching noises. I understand. Dont worry, Young Master. I wont die at the hands of this person named Mu! The woman who directly administered the poisonmitted suicide today! However, shes not the only person that the Mu Family is manipting. Yuan Xuan exerted more force with his wrists and tightened his grip around Ye Kuns trembling hands. Ye Kunughed bitterly. His furious gaze was not as weak as before. His voice sounded rough and aged, I have stayed alive miserably for so many years in hopes that I would see the Mu Family pay the price! He turned his head and looked at Yuan Xuan when he spoke. His voice was iparably miserable when he said, Young Master, Id like to see your pretty little wife... Yuan Xuan nodded. This was the first time that Ye Kun had revealed his coaxing attitude. Then be good, eat your meals, and go along with Doctor Yuans treatment. Ill take you to see her once youve healed. ... Major Crimes Department Mu Chenyans arrival shocked everyone. Had she not said that she was ill? Why did herplexion look rosier? Who could have guessed that this womans rosiness stemmed from the Third Young Master of the Yuan Familys nightly lessons? There was a new case in the department. However, everyone was more surprised at the new development that Mu Chenyan had revealed regarding the Zong He poisoning case. As he had solved cases for many years, Wu Huai was filled with anger at the thought of such a simple case reaching a deadlock and bing a dead case. He had certainly thought of visiting the hospital to forcibly pry open the mouth of the woman who was admitted there. Nheless, Zhao Yanni herself had been a victim of the poisoning case. She was fortunate that she did not die earlier despite being severely poisoned inparison to the others. However, her testimony was barely useful in the eyes of thew on ount of her mental illness. There were sequences in solving cases and rules that had to be followed. Although Wu Huais manner had always made him resemble a rebel, he certainly did not possess the characteristics of an actual one. He had allowed a golden opportunity to slip by because people were already dead. As of today, the only person who could tell the truth hadmitted suicide as a means of taking on the offenders me themselves. This forced them to close the case and Wu Huai was unwilling to ept this. There was a wooden square table inside his average-sized office. Wu Huai pushed a pile of files aside carelessly before opening a piece of paper on the table and carefully reading it over and over again. There were hundreds of doubts arising in his mind. Had Zhao Yanni really addressed her one and only suicide note to Mu Chenyan? That meant that Mu Chenyan was the only person who was worthy enough to be trusted in the eyes of the deceased woman. Although she was a suspected murderer of her daughter, Zhao Yanni still disyed an unusual amount of trust in her. Wu Huai raised his head and looked at Mu Chenyan. This woman seemed fragile on the outside but really she was actually full of vigor! He had initially assumed that she was only a beautiful but superficial woman who had asked Wu Ze for this job. It seemed as though the situation was not as simple as he had originally imagined. A new n for Mu Chenyan emerged in Wu Huais heart. Miss Mu, you may not be a criminal police officer but helping us solve cases is the duty of every citizen. Wu Huais gaze shifted back and forth across Mu Chenyans body in consideration as he suddenly opened his mouth to speak. This upright man had never looked at his wife or in fact, any other woman in this manner. Mu Chenyan secretlyughed to herself when she heard Wu Huai spouting this official jargon. She could guess that this was not actually Wu Huais field of expertise. Captain Wu, Ill keep an eye on Ruoxin so dont worry! Mu Chenyan stopped speaking to Wu Huai in a roundabout manner without even waiting for him to directly state the conclusion. Mu Chenyan had always been humble towards Wu Huai. She was even more likable now when she treated him like an older brother whom she worshiped. Youre so smart! Wu Huaiughed while he deeply sighed in his heart. It was not surprising that Yuan Xuan doted on his Little Mistress so much. Thank you for taking the trouble, Miss Mu! Did you enjoy your holiday? Wu Huai had no idea what Yuan Xuan was doing. Why was Yuan Xuan keeping the Little Mistress at home after she had returned from East Bridge? The main point was that he did not know about the dangerous situation that Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan had encountered in City C. Captain Wu, I should be able to return to work already! No, no, no. I meant that Mis Mu should stay at home and get more rest if youre unwell. Wu Huais smile was beaming. This normallypletely serious middle-aged man would alwaysugh like this when he needed to make a request of someone. The people in his team would say that Captain Wu could only put on a false smile while others said that he looked worse when he smiled than when he cried... This much was expected! Mu Chenyan pursed her lips together and quietly chuckled when she recalled the things that her team members had previously said behind Wu Huais back. Yes, I can even meet Miss Zhao more often if I spend more days lying around at home... Wu Huai grinned and sighed. Miss Mu is brilliant! Su Qingcheng came out of Wu Huais office and approached them. Tell me, whats going on? Mu Chenyan threw the file she was carrying into Su Qingchengs hands. Its exactly as it seems. Someone has acted as the scapegoat for the Zong He case! What are you nning to doter about that problem with Zhao Ruoxin? Su Qingcheng suddenly felt that the Yuan Family Mansion which belonged to Luo Hais most illustrious family had be an extremely dangerous ce. It was really difficult to determine the good people from the evil ones. Su Qingcheng was worried for Mu Chenyan. Whatever! Mu Chenyanughed when she said that. Chapter 258 - Ah Fu, Throw That Suit Away

Chapter 258: Ah Fu, Throw That Suit Away

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Yuan Family had informed the Zhao Family about Zhao Yannis funeral arrangements. Although Zhao Yanni had left home for many years, she was still able to assist the Zhao Family as she was rted to Shu Heng by thew of marriage. However, the Zhao Familypletely severed their ties with Zhao Yanni after the scandal that urredter on. As of today, her two older brothers were the only surviving members of the Zhao Family and neither of them cared about her at all. There was actually no response when news of Zhao Yannis death wasmunicated to them. The world treated you based on your sesses and people did not necessarily wish you the best. Although the Zhao Family did not care much for one of their own, the Old Mistress of the Yuan Family could not ignore this for Qinger and Ruoxins sake. Thus, she bought a favorable plot in the cemetery and buried Zhao Yanni there. On the day of the burial, the seasonal cloudy weather brought about the pitter-patter of light rain. The Old Mistress did not personally attend the funeral instead she arranged for Wen Ya and Mu Chenyan to apany Zhao Ruoxin instead. Despite everything, she was Zhao Ruoxins only living rtive left on this earth. To be more exact, she was Shu Qingers sole surviving rtive! Her father had abandoned his wife and daughter while her younger sister had died to protect her. As of today, her only rtive had also passed away. Shu Qingers heart of stone must have felt at least a sliver of emotion. Zhao Ruoxin leaped forward and attempted to snatch the box of ashes just as the coffin was about to be buried. She miserably screamed out, Mother, dont... dont go... The burial workers exchanged nces but none of them dared to make any rash movements. Mu Chenyan believed that at that very moment, Zhao Ruoxins true feelings and emotions were finally revealed. Unfortunately, it was toote as both of them were on opposite sides now. Since Wen Ya was the eldest sister-inw and had been sent to the funeral by the Old Mistress, she had no choice but to fulfill her duties during these asions. She brought the maids to pull Ruoxin away before she consoled her, saying, Ruoxin, control yourself. Aunty Zhao is gone... Zhao Ruoxin began to cry uncontrobly as she was pulled aside. When she saw that Yuan Xuan who had been standing beside her, holding a ck umbre to shield Mu Chenyan from the rain, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and loudly wept. Brother Xuan, I... Im a real orphan now... Zhao Ruoxins body was damp with the rainwater that had just sshed while her little face was pale with shock. Moreover, her dark purple lips and dripping wet hair that stuck to her forehead made her look pitifully frail. Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya were both shocked. This somber asion was certainly not an appropriate time for arguments. Mu Chenyan remained silent and simply fixed her gaze on Yuan Xuan. Zhao Ruoxin hugged him tightly and miserably wept while Yuan Xuans face clouded over with uneasiness. He held the umbre with one hand and continued to shield Mu Chenyan while his other hand gently patted Zhao Ruoxins shoulder. Ruoxin, your grandmother still loves you so dont worry. Yuan Xuan then turned towards Wen Ya and whispered, Im sorry for troubling you, sister-inw. Wen Ya knew what he meant and went over to drag Zhao Ruoxin off Yuan Xuans body. Zhao Ruoxins emotions were still agitated. She wailed loudly, I need you... I need you to love me... Mu Chenyans heart thumped in excitement. Although she looked calm, Mu Chenyan actually felt as though that in a certain corner of her heart, a bottle had been knocked down causing jealousy to spill out everywhere uncontrobly. She was the only person here who knew of Zhao Ruoxins unsavory past. Zhao Ruoxins brazen actions were, in fact, unsurprising since she knew that Qinger was still present in one corner of Yuan Xuans heart... This woman seemed to have lost her mind due to sorrow. She cried and kicked up a fuss in the cemetery before fainting from exhaustion not long after. During their journey back to the mansion, Mu Chenyan sat in the passengers seat of Yuan Xuans car while Zhao Ruoxin slept soundly in the back seat. The three of them had slowly but surely returned to their original state of coexistence. Yuan Xuan had taken both women to watch a circus performance in this manner during Christmas one year. These three individuals had a delicate rtionship with each other. Before Mu Chenyan returned to Luo Hai from Xi Fan, the person who was by Yuan Xuans side was Shu Qinger. Thus, Shu Qinger had always been regarded as Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart. Mu Chenyan was considered her sessor. Due to that, the young Mu Chenyan was extremely confident in herself. In her mind, it did not matter who loved him first because only one person would win out in the end. Perhaps Yuan Xuan did not understand the true meaning of love when he was younger. Although Shu Qinger had been by his side for more than a decade, he still thought of her as his little sister. Conversely, Yuan Xuan had just entered his youth when she arrived. Moreover, he also happened to meet her at that age... Mu Chenyan had never thought that Yuan Xuan might have chosen Shu Qinger if she had neither followed him to Ennd nor pestered him the same way Little Ginger Fur Ball hung around Briquet... Unknowingly, her chaotic thoughts caused her emotions to manifest onto her face. When he saw that Mu Chenyan beside him looked unwell, Yuan Xuan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and held her hand with the other. Hisrge hand was warm and dry as heat continuously radiated from his palm. Drive safely! Mu Chenyan pulled her hand away and fixed her cor while her gaze drifted off into the distance. Yuan Xuanughed bitterly to himself. He had been given the cold shoulder. It was inevitable that she would grow up one day. No longer would Mu Chenyan be a fearless person who insisted on having her own way when it came to love. The car drove down a winding path that led to Luo Hais Yuan Family mansion. Mu Chenyan thought to herself that she must have traveled along this road several thousand times before. The scenery was the same but everyone was in an unusually mncholic mood. ... Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan returned to the Hibiscus Garden after sending Zhao Ruoxin home. The moonlight was bright and clear. The ground was slightly slippery as it had just rained so Yuan Xuan held his wifes waist firmly as they walked across thewn. The fresh scent of soil permeated through the air. May was supposed to be a month when everything came back to life but it had been filled with a session of deaths instead. Yuan Xuan, if I hadnt pestered you in the beginning... Mu Chenyan suddenly paused her steps while her pupils seemed as though they were filled with stars. You would still be Mrs. Yuan! Dont let your imagination run wild. Mu Chenyans sentence was cut off quickly as Yuan Xuan already knew what she was about to say. Mu Chenyan contracted her body in his warm embrace while her gaze was filled with confusion. Apparently, her heart could still be swayed by Yuan Xuan. After bing aware of the rtionship between him and Shu Qinger, Mu Chenyan had initially assumed that she would slowly give up chasing him and distance herself from Yuan Xuan. However, she had instead discovered that whenever she encountered situations like this, her first response would be that she was afraid of losing... The Hibiscus Garden When Ah Fu took the suit jacket from Yuan Xuan that he had taken off, she murmured, Since the weather is cold and its been raining the entire day, I boiled some chicken soup. Once Mistress has showered,e downstairs and Ill have it ready... Mu Chenyan had already walked towards the corner of the stairs when she suddenly heard Yuan Xuan say, Ah Fu, throw that suit away! His voice was frosty and devoid of a single hint of warmth as though he had put up with these clothes for a very long time. Ah Fu was shocked. A troubled expression appeared on her face when she looked at the ck suit in her hands. After being by his side for three years, Ah Fu knew that the Young Master was extremely particr about his clothes. All of his suits were custom-made by hand and worth several hundred thousand... Young Master, youre probably just upset that these nice clothes are dirty. Ill take them to be washed and Ill properly iron them... Nonsense. If I tell you to throw them away, just do it! Mu Chenyan had never seen Yuan Xuan behave this way before. Ah Fu was startled. She jogged the whole way and stuffed the suit into a garbage bag before she ced it in the garbage bin at the entrance. Yuan Xuan snatched a white towel and gently wiped his chin as Zhao Ruoxins hair had stroked that area in the afternoon... Why havent you gone upstairs yet? Yuan Xuan returned to his usual aristocratic manner when he came upstairs and noticed that his wife was standing there, lost in a daze. He was humble and gentle now, as though the man who had recently demanded in an extremely disgusted tone for his suit jacket to be thrown away earlier was apletely different person. They were such nice clothes... Mu Chenyan could notprehend Yuan Xuans unpredictability either. Its not a big deal. I didnt want them anymore because they were dirty. If Mistress is upset, Ill go out and work hard to earn more money. Yuan Xuan said this as though he was really worried that Mu Chenyan was upset. Mistress will be in charge of managing our household funds in the future. I can earn money but I dont know how to manage it. As a matter of fact, I just wasted several hundred thousand today! Mu Chenyan was amused by his false modesty. She coyly whined, You sound as though you really mean it! Chapter 259 - 5000 Word Update, Undivided Chapter

Chapter 259: 5000 Word Update, Undivided Chapter

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Both of them had traveled along a treacherous icy road earlier but these current interactions made Mu Chenyan suddenly feel as though her heart had been warmed. She could not stop a smile from forming on the corners of her lips. When Zhao Ruoxin pounced on Yuan Xuan earlier in the afternoon, it would be somewhat inurate to say that she waspletely unconcerned. After all, she was still a woman. Was there even a single woman in the world who was immune to even the slightest tinge of jealousy? Mu Chenyan thought to her self that if Yuan Xuan wanted to throw that piece of clothing away, so be it! She was also unhappy that it had been tainted with another womans breath. Mu Chenyan hurried her footsteps as she was afraid that Yuan Xuan could sense the sinister air in her thoughts. She instantly burrowed into the bedroom and snatched a towel from the closet before going to take a shower. Yuan Xuan remained silent although he could tell that his wife was secretly delighted. He took the cat food upstairs to see his son and daughter... Little Ginger Fur Ball was behaving bossily towards Briquet. The first bite of cat food would always be given to her first. On average, she ate more than Briquet. Thus, Little Ginger Fur Ball had be much fatter after a week. Her body was a lot rounder while her energy had greatly increased as well. She would hold Briquet down underneath her for no reason and meow to disy her strength. Meow meow, arent you naughty? Little Ginger Fur Ball was an uncontroble fierce young woman who was very fat! Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows while looking at the annoyed Briquet. He quietly reproached him. Briquet, this is uneptable. You have to be bold and manly. How can you always let yourself be oppressed by a woman? Briquet looked stupefied. He was too afraid to resist Little Ginger Fur Ball because this kitten was too tough. However, he felt immensely troubled when his daddy criticized him... Moreover, since Briquet naturally doted on women, he would be reluctant to get mad at Little Ginger Fur Ball even if she became fiercer when she disturbed him. When Little Ginger Fur Ball saw her daddy instigating Briquet, she thought to herself, Hmph, thats easy for you to say, daddy. Who was the one who threw away his suit in fear after noticing that Mistress looked upset? ... When Mu Chenyan could not find anyone downstairs after her shower, she realized that Yuan Xuan must have gone upstairs to the third floor. Sure enough, she saw Yuan Xuan kneeling on the floor chatting to Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet. Once mommy gets pregnant, you cant fight the baby for attention! But once the babys older, you can y with him. Hey, when do you think mommy will get pregnant? Yuan Xuan spoke earnestly to the two kittens as though they were really having a serious discussion and that they could really give him some ideas. Little Ginger Fur Ball seemed to say, Meow meow... dont be hasty, daddy! Briquet seemingly said, Meow meow... you have to keep working hard, daddy! Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. Yuan Xuan quietlyughed to himself. Youre right, Briquet. Daddy should work really hard to get mommy to sleep with him! Mu Chenyan became rather worried. When did this man be so immature? The outside world would definitely be shocked if they saw the Yuan Familys vtile Third Young Master, a powerful figure who brazenly charged through Luo Hai, acting like this. However, Mu Chenyan was more worried that they wouldugh their heads off instead. She quietly retreated and went downstairs without disturbing Yuan Xuans fantasies. There was still half a box of Marvelon contraceptives in the bedroom drawer. Something stirred in the corner of Mu Chenyans heart when she looked at that half-empty box of pills and recalled Yuan Xuans behavior on the rooftop earlier. One day, if they each failed to get their own happy endings, at least they would have something to remember each other by if they had a child. After all, Mu Chenyan had loved him for so many years. As she thought of this, Mu Chenyan swung her arm and threw the pills into the rubbish bin... ... As per usual, Wen Ya did not meet with her husband Yuan Zhe at the Peace Mansion when she returned from the cemetery. Normally, it was very difficult for her to have a meal with Yuan Zhe as well. When Wen Ya came out of the bathroom after she had showered, the maid ran over and announced, Madam has invited Mistress over for a meal. Wen Ya nodded but appeared to be reluctant. Alright. Wen Ya was terribly unwilling to attend to these matters as she was still slightly tired after returning from the cemetery. The second son of the Yuan Family would always ask Wen Ya the same question every time she went over there for a meal. Wen Ya, why havent you gotten pregnant yet? Unlike Mu Chenyan who was intentionally avoiding pregnancy, Wen Ya had never taken any preventive measures. However, it seemed like God was teasing her when he gave her a baby at the time when she was not supposed to get pregnant. This left her with no choice but to marry Yuan Zhe. Throughout her life, Wen Yas tragic fate had escted towards its peak when she married that man. It was unfortunate that she could not keep that child. Moreover, it was brutally stripped from her body. This act had enraged God. Thus, she could not get pregnant anymore after having that miscarriage. ... Wen Ya sat on the sofa and stared at the clock ticking away on the wall. It was already past seven oclock. Yuan Zhe would have finished his work long ago but as usual, he had not returned and apanied her for dinner. The maid saw Wen Ya staring nkly while she sat on the sofa but was too afraid toe forward and remind her. Although Eldest Young Mistress seemed to be beaming on the outside, the entire Peace Mansion knew that she was merely passing her time each day on the inside. However, none of them dared to specte about their Masters activities as they were merely maids. Thus, everyone could tell that Wen Ya was hiding things such as her dead marriage, the brutal violence, and the torture that she endured. Unfortunately, no one dared to pipe up. Hence, nobody would report this to Old Mistress if Wen Ya did not mention it. The Yuan Family Mansion seemedpletely serene because of that. Whenever she left or returned, Wen Ya was seen as the generous and elegant Eldest Young Mistress who was befitting of her title. As the wife of the Yuan Familys second son, Xue Meiwei came from a distinguished family as well. She was a well-known local musician in her youth who yed the violin very well. After marrying Yuan Tangzhong, she slowly withdrew from the performing industry and became a music teacher instead. Thus, a woman who was as educated and aplished as her was just as likely to harbor the thought and intention of producing a male heir to continue the family line as much as anyone else. Wen Ya knew that the old woman had definitely called her over to talk about children again. She changed her clothes quickly and went over to the main residence in Peace Mansion. The two residences in the Peace Mansion were separated by a little garden so Wen Ya walked around that garden. Through the French windows, she saw the old woman elegantly sitting on the sofa and sipping tea wrapped in a silk shawl. Wen Ya entered the residence through the front hall. It was shrouded in fog because it had just rained during the day. The maid brought a white towel over so that she could wipe her hair as her body was slightly damp. Xue Meiwei could not help but sigh when she saw that Wen Yas face was a ghostly pale color while her lips were clearlycking its usual rosiness when she came over. She turned around and instructed the maid, Go and get some herbal soup for Young Mistress! Her daughter-inw was considerably up to par. Needless to say, Wen Ya was pretty. However, herplexion did not seem like she was fit to have a child at all no matter how one looked at it. The second son of the Yuan Family only had one adult son, Yuan Zhe. As Yuan Zheswful wife, how could Wen Ya be reluctant to have children? Since Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Zhe were involved in politics, it would be inappropriate to mention that Yuan Zhe had a child out of wedlock. Xue Meiwei was not fully in favor of their marriage in the beginning. After all, this could have benefited Yuan Zhe whatsoever because the Wen Familys fortunes had declined. However, this was insignificant inparison to Wen Yas pregnancy at the time. Moreover, Old Mistress and Yuan Tangzhong had already agreed to this, especially Old Mistress who knew that the womans family would argue that the grandson of the Yuan Family was irresponsible since she was already pregnant. Thus, the marriage was decided like that. As of that day, the union was formed although the child had been lost. Nheless, they could not simply just kick Wen Ya out of the family like that, right? Moreover, Wen Ya had been tremendously well-behaved for so many years while Yuan Zhe was very much responsible for the death of his child that year. If he mentioned divorce, it would probably be impossible for him to exin himself to Old Mistress. Xue Meiweisplexion deteriorated every time she thought about these troubles. She said to Wen Ya, Youre a woman so the matters outside that involve your career should all be secondary. Taking care of your body so that you can have a child sooner is the right thing to do! This much was expected! It was the same old story again. Wen Ya quietlyughed. Mother is right. Once the National Arts Commerce has stabilized and Ive passed the misceneous tasks to my assistant and secretary, I can momentarily rest. Xue Meiwei knew that Wen Ya had a tolerant personality and would not retaliate even if she had said something truly horrible. Xue Meiwei sighed. The third son of the Yuan Family had shares in the National Arts Commerce. Yuan Xuan was the main shareholder because he had previously purchased a chain of retail stores. However, he passed over the authority to Wen Ya and allowed her to manage them as he appreciated her abilities. The mother-inw and her daughter-inw sat on two separate sides of the wide sandalwood table while the maid went upstairs to call on Yuan Tangzhong toe down. As someone who had been removed from the masses for many years, Yuan Tangzhong was used to the elegance and superiority of aristocracy. In the Peace Mansion, he was also considered as an autocratic man. As he walked down the stairs Yuan Tangzhong saw that Wen Ya was the only person who hade over for dinner, he quietly asked, Whats the matter? Did Yuan Zhe refuse toe again? Wen Ya rose from her seat. Herplexion was slightly flushed and she was too afraid to raise her head to look at Yuan Tangzhong. She merely murmured, Hes been very busytely so hes only beening home veryte at night. Upon hearing this, Xue Meiwei voiced herints towards Yuan Tangzhong, saying, I allowed him to work with you but you keep our son so busy every day. I dont know how you can do this as his father! You can just assign these silly little tasks to someone else. Why do you have to keep him tied up all the time? Busy? Hmph! Ill be thankful if he doesnt get into any trouble! Yuan Tangzhong seemed unhappy with Xue Meiweis tone. Xue Meiwei was speechless. A loving mother will always give in to her son! Are you unaware of the things that hes been doing outside? He nced at his daughter-inw who was by the side when he spoke before he swallowed back his words. Yuan Tangzhong sat down on his own seat. He was so furious that his entire body trembled. He turned to Xue Meiwei and said, Keep a close eye on him and make sure that he goes out less frequently now. He used up some money that was meant as rewards for the army veterans. Im afraid that this incident will make him unable to form rtionships! Since Xue Meiwei did not understand politics, she mentally paid it no mind as she heard them discussing this new found information. Our households finances arecking? How is this matter rted to Zhe Zhe? Yuan Tangzhong was so angered by his wifes attitude that he was about to hit the table. Your understanding is shallow! He might be unconcerned about money but is he not afraid that other people might abuse his name and drag him down with them? Xue Meiwei lost her train of thought when Yuan Tangzhong yelled at her. Since she had been humiliated in front of her daughter-inw, she turned around and projected her anger on Wen Ya instead. This woman thinks too highly of herself! Wen Ya, you have to be mindful as well. If you dont think of a way to make your husband stay with you but allow him to fool around and do as he pleases outside, how would it be possible for him not to associate with lowly people in romantic situations? All five vors were present while the various colors and aromas wafted about. However, there was only a bitter taste in Wen Yas mouth when she looked at the table that was filled with a variety of dishes. She smiled faintly. Mother is right. Ill go home and advise himter tonight. Yuan Tangzhong was unhappy with his wifes attitude but Xue Meiwei had always considered herself as the wife of a respected man. Furthermore, since she was also from an aristocratic family, she was rather stubborn to the core and possessed a superiorityplex. She would endlessly indulge her son while being rather demanding towards her daughter-inw. It was very likely that this had caused trouble for Wen Ya. Yuan Tangzhong softened his tone, As a mother, you should usually make an effort to support Wen Ya. Yuan Zhe has always been bad tempered so itll be difficult for Wen Ya to pacify him on her own when he loses control. Xue Meiwei gently shook her head and tly replied, Hes a man so its normal for him to lose his temper sometimes. Wen Yas body trembled. It seemed like the old man and woman were already aware of Yuan Zhes domestic abuse towards her! ... The night breeze brought some warmth to the weather in May. Since it had just rained, the nts in the Peace Mansions garden were lush and green as they had been nourished by the rain and dew. When Wen Ya walked past the little garden, she saw that the Japanese banana tree was lusher than from previous years. She crouched down and stroked the damp soil below the Japanese banana tree. Child, is it cold down there? Wen Ya was already more than 5 months pregnant that year but Yuan Zhe still refused to show restraint during their bedroom activities. It finally happened when Yuan Zhe discovered a new position on a drunken night. The force that violently shoved forward caused Wen Ya to suddenly feel an unbearable pain in her stomach. She begged Yuan Zhe to stop before she felt a warm stream of blood flowing down her thigh... The remains of the baby boy that had already formed when he slipped out were secretly brought home by her from the hospital before she buried him under this Japanese banana tree... Wen Ya who had been treated coldly by everyone was quietly groaning under the tree. The only person who truly knew the misery in her heart was her child who had already departed from this world. ... Midnight Wen Ya was dressed in a loose white silk nightgown as she hugged her knees and waited in the living room. Her face was frosty while the delicate curves of her body seemed extremely frail under this loose nightgown. Yuan Zhe only returned at midnight. The smell of alcohol and the scent of another womans perfume lingered on his body. The maid rushed over to grab the clothes that Yuan Zhe had removed after he pushed the front door open and entered. When the maid smelled the alcohol on his body, she turned around to get some soup for him to sober up. However, Yuan Zhe waved hisrge hands and instructed the maid to leave. Eldest Young Mistress Yuan... Are you sitting here waiting for me? Yuan Zhes tone was filled with ridicule. Yuan Zhe sat beside Wen Ya as he spoke before he held her slim shoulders with hisrge hand. Wen Ya was actually nning to discuss the subject of children with Yuan Zhe. She was willing to be very magnanimous. If Yuan Zhe brought a child back from somewhere else, she would raise it. Did Xue Meiwei not merely say that she wanted a grandchild for the Yuan Family? It did not necessarily mean that she had to be the one to give birth, right? However, Wen Yas heart was filled with disgust when she saw Yuan Zhe approaching her now. She dodged towards one side but she could not resist his strength. When Yuan Zhe pulled her into his arms, Wen Ya nearly vomited as she could smell the perfume all over his body. Let go of me! Dont touch me when your body is tainted with the stench of another woman! Wen Yas angry tone and her physical resistance provoked Yuan Zhe and terribly upset him. He sarcasticallyughed and said, My wife is jealous! Upon hearing this, Wen Ya sneered. Jealous? Yuan Zhe, you must think very highly of yourself, right? You think that Id get jealous because of you? Yuan Zhes expression became graver while he furiously red at Wen Ya. This woman had nowhere to vent her anger and grief. Thus, she could only say these things now. Ive given up on you a long time ago! Why would I get jealous because of you? I was waiting for you today to tell you that your mother is pressuring me to have a baby again. But you already know that Ill never be willing to have a baby with someone like you! If youre skilled enough, get one of your women outside to give birth to your child and then bring it home. Ill raise it for you! Yuan Zhes entire body was shrouded by a malicious aura. His round eyes were filled with rage while a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corners of his lips as he red at Wen Ya. Wen Ya suddenly felt a strong urge to vent her anger when she saw Yuan Zhes appearance. Yuan Zhe, did I hit a sore spot? Its not as though you didnt want to impregnate another woman with your seed all along, but the problem was that you couldnt, right? Wen Ya mockingly sneered before she adding, Didnt that little B-list celebrity previously say that she was pregnant with your child? However, she probably didnt even know who actually fathered her baby, right? If youre willing to be a white knight, I wont go andin to mother about this! Yuan Zhe knew that Wen Ya was ridiculing his incapability when he heard this. The mans self-esteem crashed to the floor before he gripped his wifes chin with hisrge rough hands. Several red fingerprints immediately formed on Wen Yas delicate skin where it had been pinched. Wen Ya, do you know that youre ying with fire? Didnt you say that you refused to get pregnant with my child? Are you making fun of my abilities? Yuan Zhe suddenly pounced on her as he spoke and firmly pressed her down underneath his body. Yuan Zhe yanked off his tie while speaking. Upon seeing this, Wen Ya who was underneath him trembled from head to toe and curled up into a ball. She shoved him with her hands and attempted to create a survival opportunity for herself. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhe used the tie that he had pulled off to tightly bind her hands to the sofas armrest. When she saw the lust and desire that erupted from Yuan Zhes eyes, Wen Ya was so afraid that she shivered. After all, she was still a woman. Yuan Zhe... You idiot... Let go of me! Yuan Zhe scoffed while releasing his belt buckle at the same time. Wen Ya started to cry and squeezed her thighs closer together in an attempt to prevent him from assaulting her. She loudly wailed, Help! Save me... There were two permanent maids who lived in the side house in the external residences. They would hear her if she made enough noise. There was a ray of hope in Wen Yas heart! Yuan Zhe could not help his rage from burning brighter when he saw that Wen Ya was strongly resisting and noisily yelling. He exerted more force and used his hands to rip the fabric off the womans body in several swift motions... No... No... Wen Ya was helpless! Tears streaked down her little face as she wept while cursing at the same time. Ahh! ... They rarely made love to each other after that baby had been miscarried. When Yuan Zhe saw his wifes faintly flushed cheeks and body, he quietly cursed, Youre still so beautiful, you vixen... He had not touched her for several years. However, when Yuan Zhe trespassed into this forbidden frame of mind due to the influence of alcohol, it was suddenly difficult for him to control himself. Under the bright lights of the hall, Yuan Zhe shamelessly ravaged her while saying indecent things to provoke her... Unaware of the situation, the maid peered inside when she heard some noises. When she saw what was happening, she was so frightened that she stood nkly outside the door. Get out! Yuan Zhe furiously scolded her. The maid was so afraid that she hurriedly retreated and left. Wen Ya was so embarrassed that she wished that she was dead! Hatred flourished in her heart when she looked at Yuan Zhes prideful and threatening face while she descended below his body... She was not even 30 years old but her body had been slowly decaying because of this rotten marriage. The fire that had been extinguished was reignited once again at the moment when these two people became one today. Nheless, Wen Ya would definitely object if she was asked whether or not she loved this man. She resented him and it stemmed from the day when her child slipped out of her body while being surrounded by blood. She had felt endless hatred ever since... Despite that, Wen Yas body allowed him to ravage it during this activity between husband and wife although there were no benefits for her... Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes. How could God abuse a woman like this? Chapter 260 - I Like Mistress’ Blanket

Chapter 260: I Like Mistress nket

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Midnight, Peace Mansion Yuan Zhe had ravaged Wen Yas body to the point where both of them werepletely exhausted. Yuan Zhe headed upstairs to shower without disying even the slightest hint of sympathy for what he had done to her. Wen Yas arms were still tied to the sofa. Her gaze was empty while herpletely naked body faintly shivered due to the night breeze in May. She slowly moved her numb and aching legs... Wen Ya bitterly smiled and struggled a few times before realizing that her arms were firmly tied. No part of her body had been left unscathed. The green, purple, ck, and red marks clearly disyed Yuan Zhes recent brutality.... Thest thing that Yuan Zhe said had humiliated her the most. Dont you hate me to the bone? However, I can see that youre trembling beneath me... The bastards smile was extremely insulting! Wen Yas tears had almost dried up while her voice was so hoarse that it greatly pained her to even swallow her saliva. She had certainly been aroused by him, and then... Wen Ya wanted to die when she thought of this. She hated herself! However, she could not ept this. Why did she have to be the one to die? Why did she have to die while the devil was allowed to roam free? Wen Ya only realized that the Wen Family was in dire straits the year after she married Yuan Zhe. She could have initially furthered her studies in London but her father made several phone calls to inform her that the Wen Family was about to go bankrupt. Her older brother was in charge of inviting government tenders for a project to renovate the running track around theke and Luo Hai National Stadium but an excessive amount of diphenmine substance was detected. When several construction workers were poisoned, their family members brought along more people to stir up trouble before they eventually destroyed the Wen Familyspany. Rumors had quickly started spreading all over the Inte. They said that the father and son of the Wen Family sold inferior goods marketed as superior ones for more money and profit. They also said that the materials that they used did not match the countrys standard at all. Thus, the stocks of the Wen Familys business plummeted almost immediately. Moreover, the governments security department came looking for the Wen Family as well to make sure they dismantled and took down the parts inside the stadium and the running track around theke that had been already renovated. This was equivalent to the Wen Family falling into a deathtrap. It was needless to say that they would not be receiving their payment for the project. Furthermore, since they were now also associated with this reputation, if they continued investigating this issue, her father and brother would certainly be jailed. When Wen Ya hastily returned home from living overseas, she had apanied her father to a banquet and during the ensuing confusion ended up sleeping with a man... In reality, she had actually been given arge amount of date rape drugs! That was only the beginning of her nightmare. Wen Ya did not know that she had slept with someone from the Yuan Family until the day she tested positive for a pregnancy test. Her father who was overjoyed by this turn of events made a phone call to contact the members of the Yuan Family... If she wanted someone to me for this mess, Wen Ya should have med her own father first! It was not as if Wen Ya had never thought of walking away. However, her father and older brother were kneeling before her, begging... The Yuan Family was incredibly powerful and influential in Luo Hai. Moreover, she was carrying the Yuan Familys descendant in her very own womb. Wen Ya had epted her fate with tears in her eyes. At least she could save the lives of the entire Wen Family by sacrificing only herself. However, there was one thing that she could never figure out. After they had been married, why was Yuan Zhes tone always sarcastic towards her when he was not treating her indifferently? Then came one day when she eavesdropped on one of Yuan Zhes phone calls. He told the person on the other end of the line to give a cut to the vendor who supplied the Wen Family with their materials. Those people were allowed to take an appropriate amount ofmission and escape far away... Only then did Wen Ya discover that the supposed problematic project was merely Yuan Zhes own personal plot! I was initially nning to use a public title to destroy the Wen Family and change the names of their shares and properties but I never expected that the stupid old man Wen Youquan could still think of an even better way by sacrificing his daughter. Well let them off first then! Yuan Zhes perverse tone made Wen Ya feel as though she had fallen into an ice cave. However, I was med for the pregnancy although I was only fooling around with that woman! Im really annoyed that the Old Mistress is so insistent on me marrying her. Do you know that I wasnt the only man that she slept with that night... Apparently, it was all a scheme! Moreover, Wen Ya was merely an idental pawn in this scheme that Yuan Zhe had happily gone along with... Thus, Wen Ya was destined to be the miserable party in this marriage. Nheless, she endured it because her mind was still thinking about the baby in her womb. However, Wen Ya had forgotten that the devil was inherently evil. He would not allow her to possess even a sliver of longing. When she lost her child on that cruel night, Wen Yasst ray of hope disappeared as well. Mu Chenyan had always asked Wen Ya why she had suddenly returned from abroad, married Yuan Zhe out of the blue, and severed all ties with her old friends. The only reason was that she had given up. Wen Ya was previously deeply in love with another man. However, the current state of her body meant that she would never even have the possibility to love that man ever again... Her happiness in the past were only memories now. The more Wen Ya tried to relive them, the more she felt like dying because of the pain. Although there was also unhappiness in Mu Chenyans marriage, there was no doubt that Yuan Xuans heart was filled with deep love for her. She was unlike Wen Ya. ... The Hibiscus Garden When Yuan Xuan came downstairs after he had finished feeding the cats, he saw Mu Chenyan sitting on the window seat staring nkly into space. She was still wrapped in a towel from her bath and her hair was damp. It had just rained and the moon shone brightly in the sky. Mu Chenyan nced at several thin clouds that floated high in the sky. Her little face was fair and glowing while her expression looked rather serene. Her slim and frail body was songuid that she looked like a cat. Meanwhile, her soft and smooth hair that had yet topletely dry looked fully jet-ck as it stuck onto her forehead. The moon had also looked like this when she and Yuan Tian participated in the summer camp that was organized by the school that year. Yuan Tian led them out to explore before they sessfully got lost... Yuan Xuan came looking for his sister because he was a family member of the Yuan Family. However, he immediately pulled Mu Chenyan into his arms when he found them in the cave. That was one of the rare asions that he had gotten close to her. Yuan Xuan was not so icily arrogant that he refused other peoples presence within a thousand kilometers. That hug was unusually warm so Mu Chenyan closed her eyes and enjoyed it for the moment as he tightly embraced her... At the time, Yuan Tian was so furious that she wanted to leave the cave and go somewhere else immediately... Yuan Xuan had a cold personality but he did not me them. He merely looked at the two troublesome little girls and quietly warned, If this happens again, Ill have to ce GPS cors around your necks and treat you like cats and dogs! Mu Chenyan recalled how she had stupidly pestered him despite his constantly gloomy and resentful attitude towards her and his perpetually serious face at the time. Undoubtedly, she was entangled with him for so many years because she yearned for that rare warmth... Whats on your mind? Yuan Xuan saw that his wife still had her lips pursed together and was smiling when he came out of the shower. Water was still trickling down his body while an enchanting ray glimmered across his honey-colored skin. Mu Chenyan turned her head and met Yuan Xuans profound gaze. She narrowed her body and lowered her eyes without daring to look at him again. Her brain never worked the way she wanted it too whenever she was in front of him. Despite being a person who was concerned about her own sex appeal, Mu Chenyan would always be naively captivated by him. On one hand, Mu Chenyan hated herself for being naive. It was unbelievable that she had previously fallen for his gentleness numerous times without properly investigating the terrible grudge that concerned her parents. On the other hand, she could not control herself because she was attracted to his manliness... Nothing! Mu Chenyan leaped off the window seat before she frantically burrowed under the covers. For some reason, Mu Chenyan was bing increasingly afraid of his scorching gaze that made her want to flee. Yuan Xuan persistently misbehaved. He enthusiastically approached her and came over despite seeing that Mu Chenyan was avoiding him. Mu Chenyan blushed when she recalled Yuan Xuans conversation with the cats upstairs. She fervently tried to hide herself under the nkets. She was breathing somewhat heavily when she murmured, You have your own nket so why do you have to squeeze under mine? I like Mistress nket! Chapter 261 - Are You Feeling Uncomfortable?” Yuan Xuan laughed slyly.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Whenever Yuan Xuan had the intention of ravaging her, he would dazzle her over and over again with his slightly hoarse voice. Mu Chenyan felt her ears burning, so she pushed the nket towards him. Then, she said fiercely, Ill give it to you! Ill give everything to you! Instead of getting angry, Yuan Xuanughed when he saw her getting a little annoyed. No wonder Little Fur Ball Ginger is so violent and malicious. Cats usually take after the traits of their owner! Mu Chenyan became even angrier when she heard himparing her to that fat cat, Little Fur Ball Ginger. Youre the one whos a perverted cat! Yuan Xuan chuckled and his hands started to move around while he whispered, Mistress is right. Im indeed a perverted cat. Briquet convinced me toe back just now and ravage you nicely. Im an easily convinced man and Ill listen when a cat convinces me... By this time Mu Chenyan knew that she was in trouble, she was being tightly pressed underneath Yuan Xuan already... This goddamn man was using cats as an excuse to sleep with her! Brisquet told him to sleep with me, so he slept with me? Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes internally, but she had already entangled her arms around his neck. Yuan Xuan saw her blushing cheeks and he thought of an idea to tease her. He blew warm air onto her neck and whispered in a low voice, Good girl! His kisses traveled downwards and the tip of his tongue swept through her curves. Mu Chenyans entire body trembled continuously... Suddenly, Yuan Xuan stopped at her... Mu Chenyan suddenly eximed, Not there... Mu Chenyan was considered rather traditional and conservative. Thus, she could not ept many different kinds of techniques, but she was continuously forced by Yuan Xuan to step out of herfort zone. Are you feeling ufortable? Yuan Xuan chuckled. Mu Chenyan was lost in a daze already and her little face was burning red. She bit her lips and nodded her head heavily. If youre ufortable, beg your husband! Yuan Xuan continued to giggle while he looked at the Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan shook her head, she was not willing to talk. Yuan Xuan saw this and thought that it would be another round of torture. Mu Chenyans lips were hurting from the torture and she sobbingly asked, How? Yuan Xuan could not help butugh in his heart. This naive woman! Say, husband! Yuan Xuanmanded. Mu Chenyan did as he asked obediently. Yuan Xuan increased his pace without hesitation and Mu Chenyan moaned even louder. ... Throughout the entire night, Yuan Xuan ravaged Mu Chenyan until the sun came out. The womans aching body was being loved over and over again. Mu Chenyan felt as though she was being beaten up and was hurting everywhere. The satisfied Yuan Xuan woke up early in the morning and went out for his usual work out, whereas Mu Chenyanid on the bed and thought about life... After having breakfast, Yuan Xuan grabbed his car keys and got ready to go to work. Suddenly, a maid reported to him nervously, The Eldest Young Mistress from the Peace Mansion was sent to the hospitalst night! When Mu Chenyan heard that something had happened to Wen Ya, her entire body became drenched in cold sweat. What happened? Yuan Xuan had a cold look on his face and did not say anything, but Mu Chenyan asked hastily anyway. The maid continued, I heard that she had an argument with the Eldest Young Master and he pushed her down the stairs... Before Mu Chenyan knew about this, she did not think that it was a problem. However, she had seen Yuan Zhe hit Wen Ya before. This was most probably a domestic violence case and Wen Ya must have been heavily wounded. Which hospital was she admitted to? Yuan Xuan asked in a low voice, he had a dark expression on his face. The maid was frightened and she dared not raise her head. I heard from the maids in the Peace Mansion that she went to Sheng Yu... Mu Chenyan rushed upstairs. Ill go after I change my clothes... Yuan Xuan sighed when he saw how Mu Chenyan could hardly retain herposure. He raised his phone and called Tian Qi, Follow the Mistress today! ... Sheng Yu Hospital. Tian Qi followed behind Mu Chenyan with some fruits in his hand. He looked like a log with his huge build as he followed behind her closely. Mu Chenyan did not know what Yuan Xuan was worried about. She looked at Tian Qi as a loyal puppy and she could not help butugh. Mu Chenyan came here often to visit her mother, so she was very familiar with this hospital. She took a few turns and found the ward in the orthopedics department. Mu Chenyan saw the defeated look on Wen Yas face through the wards window, as though she was a butterfly with broken wings. She looked beautiful yet pitiful. Wen Ya had a cast on her left leg and it was hanging in the air. As expected, she had quite a severe injury. Mu Chenyan pushed open the door and walked into the room. Only then, she saw the bruises below Wen Yas neck that spread all over her pale arms to spots where even the patient gown could not cover. As a woman who has had sexual experiences, how could Mu Chenyan not know the meaning behind the bruises? However, the bruises that Yuan Xuan left on her were bruises made out of affection. Whereas the bruises on Wen Ya were clearly made out of brutal violence. Wen Ya, what happened to you? Mu Chenyan was not a sentimental person, but when she saw Wen Yas pale lips, she recalled the time when she had to endure her pain silently. Thus, she choked on her voice unintentionally. Despite how Wen Ya constantly distanced her self, Mu Chenyan had always treated her as a friend... A hint of liveliness appeared in Wen Yas hollow eyes. She moved her lips and said calmly, Just as you can see, Im not dead... The woman smiled bitterly and a teardrop rolled down from the corner of her right eye. Mu Chenyan was puzzled. Back when she had studied in the UK, Wen Ya was her senior. She was a gentle and beautiful woman who was the dream lover of many guys. Who would have thought that Wen Ya would end up like this today? Mu Chenyan sat on the chair next to the bed and held Wen Yas hand. Wen Ya, why dont you get a divorce if youre suffering so much to keep this marriage together? Mu Chenyan knew that it was irresponsible of her to say that. There must have been a reason as to why she did not get a divorce. Even so, they were once friends and Mu Chenyan did not want to see Wen Ya living in misery. Divorce? Wen Ya muttered. She turned towards Mu Chenyan, there was a confused look on her eyes. Divorce so that he can live a carefree life? Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. When Wen Ya saw how Mu Chenyan did not understand what she meant, her eyes turned dull. Sheughed coldly. I want the status as his wife even if I die. I want to see him suffer in the Yuan Family Mansion... Xue Meiwei has been forcing me to bear a child for Yuan Zhe. If I get a divorce, Yuan Zhe will marry a socialite and have kids. He will live a carefree life and I will have nothing left! Why should I do as he pleases? Mu Chenyan felt her heart tighten and she held Wen Yas hand with more force. Wen Ya, what is the point? Wen Ya smiled gloomily. Yeah! Why? She paused for a moment and looked towards Mu Chenyan. Her voice sounded pitiful, My whole life has been ruined just like that! Chenyan, youre not me, you will not understand my pain! Yuan Xuans love for you is as deep as the seas. Theres no one in this world who understands my pain! Chapter 262 - Lao Zi Didn’t Get To F*ck You That Day

Chapter 262: Lao Zi Didnt Get To F*ck You That Day

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan felt her heart muscles tighten up when she saw the hopeless look of resignation on Wen Yas face. Somehow she still insisted on staying in this marriage. Wen Ya was right, there was no one in this world who could possibly understand her pain. She was not Wen Ya, so how could she ever hope toprehend her suffering? Mu Chenyan continued to hold Wen Yas hand, her fingertips had gotten slightly cold. She genuinely felt that it was not worth it but she could note up with any moreforting words. Wen Ya smiled lightly when saw that Mu Chenyan had brought Tian Qi along. She changed the topic. Yuan Xuan has protected you well. He knows that any ce with the second son of the Yuan Family is a lions den. Mu Chenyan did not know Yuan Xuans true intentions. Only after hearing what Wen Ya had said, she understood a little. Just as she was about to exin, Wen Ya heard someone push the door open and enter the room. His voice was calm with a trace ofziness, Mistress, youre injured badly! Tsk Tsk Tsk, poor thing! Yuan Zhe spoke insincerely and a brief smirk curled up from the corners of his lips. He did not seem to feel sorry at all about his barbarian-like behavior and continued to behave carefreely instead. Mu Chenyan was burning with anger on the inside. Considering their past grudges, this man was worse than a beast in her eyes! Yuan Zhe, dont you have any feelings at all? Wen Ya is your wife. Arent you ashamed of yourself for treating her like this? Mu Chenyan recalled that the ancestors of the Yuan Family were all loving couples, why did an exception like Yuan Zhe have to appear in the bloodline? She tried her best to maintain herposure, but it was proving to be very difficult! The words that Mu Chenyan said naturally sounded a little fierce. She stared at Yuan Zhes handsome face, he looked like an eyesore to her. At that moment, Mu Chenyan actually regretted that she did not give that bastard a few more additional hits thest time they fought. Yuan Zhe saw the burning anger in Mu Chenyans eyes and thought to himself, This woman looks quite hot when shes mad. It must be amazing to be able to sleep with such a lively and pretty woman... The grass was always greener on the other side. The smile on Yuan Zhes face deepened. His gaze was dark and misty. Mu Chenyan, this seems to be none of your business! However, youre wee to see how I treat a disobedient woman! You can use this as a referenceter on. One day, youre bound to be treated this way as a daughter inw of the Yuan Family! Yuan Zhe was hinting at Mu Chenyan that deep down Yuan Xuan was the same as him! Wen Ya heard what Yuan Zhe had said and closed her eyes in detest. She did not want to look at her husband for even a minute. He was the devil in disguise who had pushed her into the abyss and he actually thought that other people were the same as him. How shameless! Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Zhe coldly and said in an irritated tone, Do you think that everyone is the same as you? Even though both of you are grandsons of the Yuan Family, Yuan Xuan is not the same as you! Yuan Zheughed coldly. Hey, look at you. How confident! Indeed, Yuan Xuan has always been better at sweet-talking women! He looked at Mu Chenyan and whispered into her ears, He destroyed your family and put you into prison. Then, he slept with you a few times after you were released. Despite all the things that he did, youre still defending him. It seems like all women are sluts! After he finished talking, Yuan Zhe ignored the flushed look on Mu Chenyans face and turned to face Wen Ya. Just like Wen Ya. She threw herself to me again because she likes to be ravaged by a man. I was annoyed, so I pushed her a little. Who wouldve thought that she would fall so hard! Pow! Before Yuan Zhe could finish talking, Mu Chenyan pped him! Her whole body was trembling with anger! ording to their rtionship, Mu Chenyan did not have any reason at all to hit Yuan Zhe. Nheless, the head-strong Mu Chenyan felt that he deserved it. Even if it was not for the time when she was almost raped, Yuan Zhe certainly deserved it for treating Wen Ya like this. After Yuan Zhe had raped Wen Ya, he would force her to remain bare until her entire body was shivering. He would only let go of her after he had humiliated herpletely and broke her spirit. Wen Ya was furious, so she went up to him and as a result, she was pushed down the stairs. This time, instead of repenting, Yuan Zhe had put the me on her. He said such cruel words without any concern at all for their marriage! How can you say such vulgar words? Mu Chenyan scolded him. She looked towards Wen Ya. Wen Ya seemed embarrassed and shocked. Wen Ya was used to Yuan Zhes shamelessness. She wanted to retaliate, but she was too weak and was always at a disadvantage. As time went by, Wen Ya had learned to endure his insults. Today, Wen Ya had seen Yuan Zhe get pped by Mu Chenyan and she felt an indescribable satisfaction in her heart. Yuan Zhe was agitated and he became enraged from the embarrassment. He was filled with anger as he screamed, You bitch, just because Yuan Xuan spoils you, do you think that all the men should do the same? Lao Zi didnt get to f*ck you that day and you... As he spoke, Yuan Zhe reached his hands out to grab Mu Chenyan. Tian Qi who was watching on by the side quickly caught Yuan Zhes hand in defense. Tian Qi was in the special forces and he was once an elite who had undergone strict training. He was Shao Yibais favorite disciple back then. Other than having a low emotional quotient and behaving a little slow when interacting with people, Tian Qi also had very agile reactions during battles. How could he let someone hurt Yuan Zhes Mistress under his protection? Was it a joke! How dare he think that Tian Qi was really a piece of log!! Ouch! Yuan Zhe twisted his arms and shouted in pain, F*ck, how dare you touch Lao Zi. Let... let go of me! Do you know that Im the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family...?! Yuan Zhe was starting to doubt the subordinates that Yuan Xuan trained. Yan Jun was a slick and sly person who followed Yuan Xuan around like a loyal dog. Whereas Kang Yu was a person who always had a fake smile on him. He apanied Yuan Xuan to all kinds of business events to mingle around and to contribute critical suggestions. Sometimes, he would even take charge and achieve great sess. Moreover, his thickheaded bodyguard was immune to both soft and hard tactics. Whenever Yuan Zhe saw him in the mansion, he would never say a word to him, let alone attempt to read other peoples thoughts based on the look on their faces. Tian Qi behaved ruthlessly regardless of the consequences. Hence, he was born to be a killer. Lastly, Mu Chenyan might seem like a weak and gentle woman, but she had gone rogue after the incident. She had many wicked ideas and calctive thoughts. She was able to maintain herposure despite knowing so much. The saying a womans heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea [TN: a Chinese idiom to describe how unpredictable and unexinable women can be] might be describing her! Yuan Zhes arm was being twisted and his usual charming demeanor had disappeared. He nted his body due to Tian Qis restraint and moaned in pain! Mu Chenyan did not give Tian Qi amand to release his grip. She ignored Yuan Zhes screams and Tian Qi maintained the force of his grip without even changing the expression on his face. Tian Qi was indeed thickheaded! In the Yuan Family, he was an exceptional being. Even though he had been hired by the Yuan Family, Tian Qi was very different from the other maids and bodyguards. He would only listen to themand of Yuan Xuan. Thus, in Tian Qis mind, Yuan Xuan was the only Master of the Yuan Family. The other Young Masters and Mistresses were all nobodies in his eyes. Yuan Zhe was no exception. Tian Qi had a cold look on his face and did not say a word, as though he was a reaper. Wen Ya who was lying on the bed was pleased by just watching on. She bit her lips while she watched Yuan Zhes face turn green. Suddenly, she felt as though her fracture was not hurting anymore... Mu Chenyan had only hit Yuan Zhe out of impulse. She did not think that Tian Qi would teach him a lesson. After all, Yuan Zhe was still the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family. If Tian Qi were to cripple him, even Yuan Xuan would not be able to defend him. Let go of him, Tian Qi. You can wait for me outside. Mu Chenyan gave Tian Qi an order and he grunted before loosening his grip. The young man gave Yuan Zhe a warning gaze seemingly to say if you dare make a move on the Mistress, I wille in and ruin you! Yuan Zhe was hurting so much that he was drenched in cold sweat. He swung his arms and distanced himself from Tian Qi. How embarrassing! As the Eldest Young Master, he had been hit by a bodyguard! In Yuan Zhes heart, he absolutely hated Mu Chenyan. His gaze was ice cold and he clenched his teeth. Tian Qi slowly walked out of the room and then there were three of them left in the room. Mu Chenyan felt that the three of them already knew about Yuan Zhes previous crimes, so there was no need to beat around the bush. Yuan Zhe, youre the one who is filthy. Dont expect everyone else to be the same as you! Wen Ya is such a good woman. She must have been blinded for her to still be with you! If you dont know how to treat her right, at least respect her! Yuan Zhes hand was hurting yet he was still being lectured by Mu Chenyan simultaneously. He secretly scoffed in his heart. Does Lao Zi need your lecture? Just wait and see! Mu Chenyan had a cold attitude. She red at Yuan Zhe, before turning around and saying to Wen Ya, Wen Ya, Ill be leaving first. You can call me if you need anything. If its something that the others cannot decide, well go to the Old Mistress. If the Old Mistress is being biased, at the very least still a reporter. Ill write an article and publish it. Ill let everyone know how the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family hit his wife! Mu Chenyans words had a deterrent effect! Yuan Zhe and Yuan Tangzhong were in the political industry, so they were extremely afraid of this negative publicity... Chapter 263 - Mu Chenwu, Your Lovely Little Sister Hit Me

Chapter 263: Mu Chenwu, Your Lovely Little Sister Hit Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan walked out of the ward and saw Tian Qi around the corner waiting like a loyal hound. He seemed highly cautious as he raised his ears to listen to what was happening inside the ward. Seeing Mu Chenyan walk out of the room, Tian Qi was clearly relieved. Tian Qi, I want to visit my mother. Youreing with me, right? Yes! Tian Qi answered. Even if Mu Chenyan did not allow him to, he would still follow along. Sir said that I must not let Mistress out of my sight! Mu Chenyan nodded and Tian Qi continued after a short pause, Dont tell Sir that I left just now... Mu Chenyan could not help butugh when she heard that. Even though Tian Qi was wooden-headed, he was stupidly adorable. He was indeed one-track-minded. If I were to go to the toilet, are you going to follow me in as well? Mu Chenyan thought of an idea to tease him. When Tian Qi heard this, his face turned red instantly. Haha, Im just ying with you. Dont worry, I wont tell Sir, Mu Chenyan promised. Tian Qi nodded his head earnestly. Recovering in-patient ward. The corridor was quiet and Yan Meis vital signs indicated that her body was in a good state under the care of the nurses in the recovering ward. Even so, Mu Chenyan still came very often as she hoped that miracle will happen one day. Yan Meis ward had always been guarded. Now that something had happened in Zong He, Yuan Xuan became even more cautious. Oddly enough, the two guards who normally patrolled around the ward were nowhere to be seen today. There were only a few nurses and care workers hustling around the corridor. Mu Chenyan took a turn around the corner and looked towards her mothers ward. A familiar figure caused her heart to shudder. Zhao Ruoxin? What are you doing here? Zhao Ruoxin was wearing a pale yellow dress and a white cardigan. She quietly stood outside Yan Meis ward and looked at the unconscious woman through the window. Upon hearing Mu Chenyans voice, Zhao Ruoxin turned her head and looked at Mu Chenyan in the eyes. The corners of the womans lips curled up, but she had a cold look on her face. Mu Chenyans heart was about to leap out of her chest! She quickly walked over and used her body to cover the ward door. She was trembling slightly and there was less than a meter between each of them. Mu Chenyan noted how Zhao Ruoxin did not answer her, so she continued to question, Why did youe here? Dont even think about hurting my mother! Zhao Ruoxin pursed her lips together as she enjoyed watching Mu Chenyan getting all flustered. She had achieved her goal already! When Mu Chenyan saw the look on Zhao Ruoxins face, she knew that she had lost her sense of proportion. Mu Chenyan was never the kind of woman who was unreasonable. However, after the incident with Zhao Yanni, she did not think that Zhao Ruoxin would care about Yan Meis recovery out of good will. Especially when Mu Chenyan saw the hatred in Zhao Ruoxins eyes as she stood in front of her. It was a hatred so deep that it couldpare to the hatred of those who were arch enemies. Mu Chenyan, even you have something that youre afraid of, right? Zhao Ruoxin grinned sheepishly as though they were old friends. She tapped on Mu Chenyans shoulder and the strength that she used caused Mu Chenyan to lose her bnce. I want to talk to you! Since youre waiting here, you should have something to say to me, right? Mu Chenyan said. Zhao Ruoxinughed coldly and reached her hand out to fix her huge ck curls. Mu Chenyan, youre very smart indeed! What about him? As Zhao Ruoxin spoke, she looked at the loyal hound behind Mu Chenyan. As figured, Tian Qi did not see Zhao Ruoxin as a threat. He straightened his body and waited for Mu Chenyansmand with an expressionless look on his face. Tian Qi will not interrupt us, he is just following along, Mu Chenyan said and took the lead. This issue was between two women and it was none of Yuan Xuans business. Mu Chenyan was sure that as long as she allowed Tian Qi to follow along, Yuan Xuan would not appear any time soon. ... After Mu Chenyan left, Yuan Zhe snarled furiously. Wen Ya was used to him acting like this. She was his punching bag whenever he faced difficulties. Wen Ya detested him in every way possible but she did not say a word. She believed in karma and he would need to pay for his sins one day! Yuan Zhe left the hospital in a hurry and dialed a number on his phone along the way. After a round of beeping, the man who answered the phone on the other end of the line sounded utterly bored. Mr. Yuan, youll kill me by calling me so carelessly. Your cousin is not an ordinary person, he will find me very soon. Mu Chenwu, your lovely little sister hit me! Ill be counting it on you! Yuan Zhe was fuming with rage once again. Mu Chenwus voice was cold and there were a few hints of murderous intent, I told you not to make a move on Mu Chenyan. Dont forget that we sponsored half of the funds for you to start over again. It is part of the bargain that I get to sleep with that woman after everything is done! Yuan Zhe gnashed his teeth together as he spoke and spat on the ground. After all, I funded the Mu Family and you guys return my kindness with ingratitude? On the other end of the phone line, Mu Chenwuughed. Stop patronizing yourself! Mr. Yuan, if I remember correctly, we are working together. Mu Chenwu then paused for a moment. It seemed like he was giving Yuan Zhe some time to think about it. You guys dont even think abouting clean from the old Xi Fan case. You guys cant escape the me if they were to take revenge. Besides, you gave me money to expand my influences because you cant bring Yuan Xuan down yourself. Youre just using an outsider like me to achieve your goal. Why are you patronizing yourself? Yuan Zhe grunted. Mu Chenwu, dont forget that if we didnt help you, do you think that you could have fooled Yuan Xuan with Mu Fengs fake death? I found the veteran who had a simr build and looks as Mu Feng. Besides, I even contacted his stic surgeon for you guys! Mu Chenwu heard this and clenched his teeth angrily. Then, he said in a low voice, Yuan Zhe, dont talk about this so casually. Listen, you must never let Mu Chenyan know about this. I will still need her helpter on. ... Coffee Lounge. Mu Chenyan and Zhao Ruoxin picked a secluded corner. Mu Chenyan ordered a cup oftte and Zhao Ruoxin order a cup of noni juice. When the coffee arrived, the air was filled with its fresh aroma. However, Zhao Ruoxin frowned. How is it suitable for a girl to drink something so bitter? Mu Chenyan smiled. Miss Zhao, Ive heard a deceased friend said something simr before! Mu Chenyan stared at Zhao Ruoxins fair little face and continued calmly, Do you want to know who is the deceased friend? Zhao Ruoxins cold eyes did not waver slightly. This woman was indeed very calm. She frowned slightly and said jokingly, Someone with the same taste as me? Yes! Back when I was in the UK, I met Qinger a few times. She never drank something as bitter as coffee! Miss Zhao, a wise person does not beat around the bush. I was struggling on the way here, should I call you Zhao Ruoxin or Shu Qinger? Mu Chenyan was straight to the point! Zhao Ruoxin had purposely appeared at her mothers ward when she went to visit Wen Ya. She wanted to instill fear and force her to hand over secret information. Shu Qinger heard that and grinned coldly. A hint of hatred shed through her eyes but she was not surprised. My mother told you after all! Mu Chenyan did not try to hide it any longer. Ive been to City C! Shu Qinger grunted and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corners of her lips. I know that you went to City C, so I secretly reported it to Xia Tao. How was his huge gift that he gave you guys? I shouldve known that it was you! You must have yed a part in causing the ident in City C. Qinger, I didnt think that you would be so vicious! Mu Chenyan seemed to be restraining her attitude. She only used her furious gaze to warn Shu Qinger. If it was not for Su Qingcheng, would she be able to sit here now and drink coffee? Shu Qinger would definitely not let her return to Luo Hai! Vicious? Hahaha... Shu Qingerughed hysterically and her beautiful little face was suddenly filled with hatred! You call this vicious? Unfortunately, that idiot, Xia Tao did not manage toplete his task and he ended up losing his life in the process. Mu Chenyan frowned, she was a little surprised. Xia Tao has died? Upon returning from City C, she did not know what had happenedter on. Even Yuan Xuan did not know that Director Xia was involved in this attempted kidnapping case. So to speak, Bureau Chief Liu yed a major role in this. Hemitted suicide and died without leaving any trouble behind. He took all the secrets along with him and Im very satisfied with this result! Shu Qinger chuckled. If Liang Zihan did not run fast enough, I think that little bitch would not be alive! Chapter 264 - A Socialite Was Not Supposed to Behave Like That

Chapter 264: A Socialite Was Not Supposed to Behave Like That

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shu Qinger chuckled. If Liang Zihan did not run fast enough, I think that little bitch would not be alive! Mu Chenyan felt a chill down her spine when she heard that Shu Qinger had nned to kill Liang Zihan. Liang Zihan took the money and escaped in the middle of the night. He should consider himself lucky and it seemed as though her worries from before were not all for nothing. In City C, only people with power like Xia Tao were considered a true God. Otherwise, Liang Zihan would also lose his life and that sick child would also have died. Ultimately, another two lives might have been sacrificed... While Mu Chenyan was worried about Liang Zihan, she resented Qinger even more in her heart! She was the mastermind behind everything! Mu Chenyan did not know Liang Zihan initially as she was Zhao Ruoxins old friend. Just because she justified Ruoxins past, Qinger wanted to kill her! Qinger, youve changed too much! Mu Chenyan could no longer see the woman in front of her as the same woman that she saw in the UK a few years ago. She was no longer the gentle and weak woman who had a dimply smile. Qinger was an art student and had received many great artists guidance. Moreover, after being under the influence of the Yuan Family for many years, she had a socialite temperament and aura around her. She was gentle, sweet, and beautiful. Not to mention, she dealt with people in a sensible and clever manner. Thus, the people who knew Yuan Xuan treated Qinger as his childhood friend whenever she visited the UK. Whereas Mu Chenyan was not only younger but also yful. She was known for being a talented girl on the campus. Although she was also liked by everyone, most people felt that Shu Qinger was the type of girl that Yuan Xuan liked. But now, Qingers eyes were filled with plots and schemes even when she smiled lightly. She spoke about other peoples life and death so casually as though it was none of her business. Mu Chenyan, dont you think that you have something to do with me changing? Me? I didnt ask you to set a fire and kill people... Mu Chenyan was caught off guard by her sudden usation. Shu Qinger smiled lightly and reached into her bag to grab an exquisite lighter. It was obvious that the owner took good care of the lighter based on the blue crystal case and the smoothened cover. Qinger took a cigarette out and nced at Mu Chenyan. You dont mind, right? Mu Chenyan shook her head. Go ahead! Shu Qinger was very experienced. She held the cigarette in between her slender fingers and lit it up with the lighter. She looked extraordinarily beautiful when she squinted her eyes while she took a puff. Youre right! You didnt make me set a fire or kill people, but you forced me into a dead-end. You yed a part in all the hardships that Ive faced! Shu Qinger looked at Mu Chenyan with a cold look in her eyes. Mu Chenyan did not understand what Qinger meant. She pursed her lips together and remained silent. All she did was look Qinger in her eyes. Did you think that I was very obedient and clever in the past? Thats why you felt like Ive changed! As Shu Qinger spoke, she smiled a little sarcastically. Mu Chenyan did not admit to it but the Shu Qinger in the past did give off such an impression! Thats because Yuan Xuan liked it! He liked obedient girls, so I changed because of him, Shu Qinger continued with a smile. When I was in Italy, I was different from what you both have seen. Of course, it was also different from the state that Im in right now! I smoked heavily and drank the strongest alcohol. I went to clubs and took drugs at parties. There was nothing that I didnt like. I had nothing to do with the gracefulness between the socialites. Shu Qinger did not seem to hide anything from Mu Chenyan. She even grinned casually as she spoke. Of course, when you guys saw me in the UK, I behaved the way that Yuan Xuan liked. If you were to say that Ive changed, Ive actually learned to value myself better now! Mu Chenyan was surprised. Arent you afraid that Ill tell Yuan Xuan? In fact, Mu Chenyan felt that there was nothing wrong with being bold. After all, she was not someone who was easy to deal with too. She was very impulsive during her university years and she had always spoken about her admiration towards Yuan Xuan. She had even secretly tattooed a tiny Yuan on her lower belly... Later on, before the wedding, she was worried that Yuan Xuan might find out about it, so she removed it with some chemicals. Her roommate teased her by asking whether she should get Yuan Xuans underwear for some obscene activities. Mu Chenyan felt that it was a good suggestion, so she actually went to Yuan Xuan to ask for a pair. Yuan Xuan was fuming with anger when he heard that... A socialite was not supposed to behave like that! Mu Chenyan had even gone through all the trouble to travel to the middle east war zone secretly just to take a few pictures. Moreover, she lived in the all-male peacekeeping forces camp. She drank the strongest alcohol and jumped into a huge wooden bucket to take a shower. However, her experiences were different from those of Qingers. Mu Chenyan never pretended to be someone else and was always true to herself. Everyone knew that she was like that and they did not expect Yuan Xuan to marry Mu Chenyan in the end. Qinger heard Mu Chenyans words and sheughed out loud. Tears were rolling down from the corners of her eyes and her voice sounded a littleid-back. Afraid of you telling him what? Telling him that Im Shu Qinger? Or afraid that youll tell him that Im a very bold person? Shu Qinger leaned forward closer to Mu Chenyan. She deliberately said very mysteriously, If you were to tell him, why didnt you say anything when you returned from City C? Moreover, you wouldve said it immediately when something happened to Zhao Yanni. There must be a reason why you didnt say it, right? Mu Chenyan was stunned. She swept the tip of her fingers across her ears and fixed her hair. Then, she said with a few hints of coldness in her almond-shaped eyes, Youre right, I do have my reasons! As Mu Chenyan spoke, she looked at Tian Qi who was sitting not too far away. He had already drunk three cups of coffee and two cups of milk tea. He was using his straw to pull the coconut and pearl bubbles at the bottom of the milk tea cup out of boredom... Are you afraid that if Yuan Xuan finds out that Qinger is still alive, he would get back together with me because he still loves me? said Shu Qinger casually, but she could not hide the feeling of superiority inside her heart. Youre quite smart! During Mu Chenyans 17th birthday, she had confessed to Yuan Xuan and Shu Qinger went to look for her on the next day. She had the same rightfully hers look on her face now. Mu Chenyan averted her gaze and the tips of her fingers trembled slightly. As time went by, was she not changing too? Even the confident and persistent Mu Chenyan who was not afraid of anything had ended up like this! Shu Qinger could tell that she was right on Mu Chenyans worries, so she was a little cocky. Your worries are not for no reasons! If I returned as Qinger, you should know that Yuan Xuan owes me a favor. Who knows what the future holds if I ask him to leave you! Her unting was unbearable! Previously, Mu Chenyan had felt a little sympathy for Qinger. Besides, Zhao Yanni also entrusted Qinger to her. Therefore, she had some reservations when she talked to her. Nheless, she could no longer restrain herself and she wanted to retaliate at this moment. Especially when Qinger behaved with such superiority. Even if Mu Chenyan had the intention to bear with her, she could not fight her natural instincts. To begin with, she was never an easy target. Who gave Qinger the courage to behave like that? Mu Chenyan smiled lightly and looked Qinger right in the eyes. She said, Then why did you lose your mind when he married me and got admitted to Zong He? If you can really handle Yuan Xuan, why not just ask him not to marry me? Her words were like a direct hit onto Shu Qingers sore spot. Shu Qinger was trembling with rage. In order to hide the uneasiness in her heart, she took another cigarette out from her bag. Unfortunately, the lighter was not working so she threw the lighter with the blue crystal case onto the floor furiously. She made a scene and everyone was looking at them now. Shu Qinger could not let go of the fact that Yuan Xuan had married Mu Chenyan in the past. Otherwise, she would not have acted like she had lost her mind and entered Zong He to force Yuan Xuan to give up on the marriage... Chapter 265 - All was Well As Long As Yuan Xuan Was Present

Chapter 265: All was Well As Long As Yuan Xuan Was Present

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shu Qinger could not let go of the fact that Yuan Xuan had married Mu Chenyan in the past. Otherwise, she would not have acted like she had lost her mind and entered Zong He to force Yuan Xuan to give up on the marriage... However, she had underestimated Yuan Xuans will to marry Mu Chenyan. Even under such a situation, Yuan Xuan was determined to marry Mu Chenyan. Thus, she escaped from Zong He to frighten Yuan Xuan out of anger. At the time, Shu Qinger had no choice but to take refuge in City C because she had no money. However, who would have thought that her beast of a stepfather would rape her... In order to keep her for his amusement, that bastard lied to Zhao Yanni. He injected tranquilizers into her and said that she was mentally deranged. Therefore, Ruoxin reced her and returned to Luo Hai. Moreover, Qinger wanted to make use of that disgusting man, Xia Tao to bring her father down, so she slept with him for almost two years. During that period of time, the only news that made her feel a little happier was that Yuan Xuan had not helped Mu Chenyan when she was being taken away as a murderer after Zhao Ruoxin died. Mu Chenyan went to jail and Shu Qinger thought in her heart, perhaps she was the one who Yuan Xuan truly loved! After her stepfather passed away, Shu Qinger could not return to Luo Hai because she was not able to exin her disappearance. Why did someone who hade back from the dead not return to Luo Hai during those two years? Even though the things that Shu Qinger experienced in City C was being kept a secret and she was using Zhao Ruoxins identity, she wanted to show Yuan Xuan a clean Ruoxin. She was afraid that Yuan Xuan knew about her being used by those two old men! Later on, she received help from Mr. Shadow and freed herself from Xia Taos control. She used a brand new identity and lived in the Yuan Family. Nheless, she saw Mu Chenyan take the status of Mrs. Yuan. Besides, everything did not go the way she nned. Yuan Xuan was supposed to develop feelings for her, Shu Qingers twin sister who looked exactly the same as her. It was obvious that Qinger was not satisfied after the trip to Liu Li Vi. She had tried to test Yuan Xuan over and over again, but he protected Mu Chenyan very well, far greater than she had expected him to! When Shu Qinger thought about the past, she felt as though her heart was copsing. From the way she saw it, all the hardships that she has gone through were all because of Mu Chenyan! If it was not for Mu Chenyan, the title Mrs. Yuan would definitely be hers, considering the fact that she was Yuan Xuans childhood friend and they grew up together! Mu Chenyan, what is there for you to be cocky about? Dont you know the reason why Yuan Xuan married you? Youve probably only heard half of the things that Mu Chenwu told you in the cemetery, right? Otherwise, how shameful can you be for sleeping with Yuan Xuan after knowing that he killed your father? Shu Qinger was burning with rage, so she spoke rashly. When Mu Chenyan heard the words that Shu Qinger said under the influence of anger, she slowly was able to verify some spections that she had before. Even youre contacting my brother? Mu Chenyan had a stern look in her eyes as she asked Shu Qinger briefly, and the look on her face had changed drastically. She realized that she made a slipup and she seemed extremely rattled. I... Why would I contact him? Shu Qingers expression had sold her out. She could not deny the fact that the man, Mr. Shadow who had brought her out of City C was indeed Mu Chenwu... Mu Chenwu had pictures of her in bed with Xia Tao in City C, so she was willing to be under his control... Mu Chenyan felt that her brother, Mu Chenwu had deliberately arranged their meeting in the cemetery. Previously, it seemed like Yuan Zhe knew that Mu Chenwu had returned based on his sarcastic remarks during the family dinner. And now, Shu Qinger also seemed to know about the content of the conversation between Mu Chenwu and her in the cemetery. Did her brother not tell her that he was being forced to leave the city? How did he return to Luo Hai? Why did he get along with people who had no relevance like Yuan Zhe and Shu Qinger? Why did he not inform her beforehand that he was with them? You dont have to find any more excuses. Ill find out the entire truth! Mu Chenyan said in a very serious tone. Shu Qinger knew that she would definitely eventually find out about it now that she had gotten serious, so she was starting to feel uneasy. If youre going to investigate this, it means that you dont believe in your brother. It has nothing to do with me! Mu Chenwu is my brother. Its not that I dont believe in what he said, but I should think it through thoroughly before making any decisions. The old Xi Fan case was something that happened ten years ago and Mu Chenwu was rather young at that time. Therefore, I chose to believe that my mother knows better about this case! Since Shu Qinger knew about Mu Chenwu and her meeting at the cemetery, she felt that there was no need to beat around the bushes, regardless of whether she knew about even more secret information. In fact, Shu Qinger only knew a little about the content of Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyans conversation. How could Mu Chenwu tell her about the details of something as huge as the old Xi Fan case? It turned out that the reason why Mu Chenyan did not make a move was that she saw improvement in Yan Meis treatment, so she was waiting for Yan Meis ultimate answer! Mu Chenyan, youre a really calctive person! Shu Qingers smile was extremely sarcastic. People always say that a familys bond is the easiest to be made use of, but youre actually having doubts about the things that your brother said? I do believe in my brother, its just that he is surrounded by too many bad influences! Mu Chenyan recalled that Feng Rao was the one who had delivered the letter to her, and even someone like Yuan Zhe knew about it. Thus, there were indeed too many doubtful points! Shu Qinger sneered bitterly. If the saying about how its difficult to see through peoples thoughts were true, Mu Chenyan, it must be describing you, right? Despite how smart I am, theres something that I cant figure out. Mu Chenyans tone was extremely calm and it was nothing like the way she had acted just a moment ago. Shu Qinger scoffed. Even you have something that you cant figure out? Since youve returned to Luo Hai, why dont you dare admit that youre Shu Qinger? After all, this identity has a higher position in the Yuan Family aspared to Zhao Ruoxin! This was Mu Chenyans doubt. Shu Qinger smiled coldly. Youre overthinking it. Since theres so much that you want to know, why dont you ask Yuan Xuan personally? How did this have anything to do with Yuan Xuan? If what Shu Qinger said was indeed true and Yuan Xuan really did owe her an important favor, what was so difficult about her admitting that she was Shu Qinger? If she were to admit it and make use of Yuan Xuans previous feelings towards her, was it not easier for her to get closer to Yuan Xuan? Mu Chenyan was puzzled and she suddenly heard Tian Qi shout from a distance, Sir, over here! A trace of sunlight entered through the door. Yuan Xuan was wearing a white shirt and a ck trouser. He casually rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. They could tell that he had rushed over and was not able to tidy up his clothing. Nevertheless, it did not affect his handsome looks at all. Yuan Xuans tall figure attracted countless attention the moment he stepped into the coffee shop. Yuan Xuans gaze fell on the two women who were sitting at the corner and he strode towards them. Mu Chenyan would only reveal the uncontroble restless side of her in front of Yuan Xuan. She did not know why but she felt as though she was doing something behind Yuan Xuans back when she saw him appear. The feeling of being caught red-handed was ruining her mood slightly. It was just like the time when she had almost got into trouble in City C. Yuan Xuan had the exact same look now aspared to the time when he got down from the ne. Why didnt you both invite me over for coffee? As Yuan Xuan spoke, he nced at Mu Chenyan and leaned his body over. He put his arms around her shoulder and the two women instantly forgot about everything, even though they were struggling and arguing because of conspiracies just a moment ago. All was well as long as Yuan Xuan was present. Tian Qicked sensibility, so he muffled, Sir, its good that youve arrived. Mistress and Miss Zhao were arguing intensely just now. They even threw a lighter onto the ground, so I was thinking whether to hit Miss Zhao if I were to make a move? Mu Chenyan was speechless. Shu Qinger was speechless. Chapter 266 - There Will Only Be One Mrs Yuan

Chapter 266: There Will Only Be One Mrs Yuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan sent a text message to Tian QiDid Missus return to the Hibiscus Garden? Tian Qi answered honestly, Not yet. Missus and Miss Zhao went to the cafe, maybe colluding on something important... Even Tian Qi with ack of literary knowledge had used the word colluding! Looks like the incident was not a simple one! Yuan Xuan initially wanted to allow Mu Chenyan to do what she wants, but if it warrants colluding, would it turn things topsy-turvy? With that in mind, Yuan Xuan took off from work an hour earlier to check out what the two women were doing! That blockheaded Tian Qi only knew how to fight... His silly words had put a faint smile on Yuan Xuans face. Both the faces of Mu Chenyan and Shu Qinger changed. This was especially apparent in Shu Qinger. When she thought about fighting with Mu Chenyan, she knew the dim-witted bodyguard would definitely put her in her ce... The twodies looked at each other and thought, What red-faced? I was just here to chat with Ruoxin. Why are you so interested in girls talk? You even came all the way to spoil our fun! Mu Chenyan muttered softly, seemingly ming him, but also partially seeking affection. Yuan Xuan did not speak, he only increased the strength he was exerting through his shoulder. He pulled her closer with a hint of overbearingness in his eyes. Cant Ie over to have a look? Seeing how Yuan Xuan was hugging Mu Chenyan, Qingers fingers on the tabletop clutched a little tighter. She could see Yuan Xuans possessiveness in its entirety. Mu Chenyan struggled a little, but she could not break free of his dictatorial aura. She had just drunk a cup of coffee. If he continued with the same strength, would the coffee in her stomach spout out like a fountain? Keep moving, see if Ill do you right here and now? Yuan Xuan kept his voice low, whispering in Mu Chenyans ear with a volume only the both of them could hear. His warm breath tickled mysteriously against her ear. He would not have sex with her immediately, but his words of threat still made her blush! Mu Chenyans face was red, and she had decided not to struggle anymore. She sat there obediently, but her hands were soon covered in sweat. Seeing Yuan Xuans obsessive gaze on Mu Chenyan, Shu Qinger could not help but feel a fit of jealousy that urged her to swallow her rival up! Brother Xuan... mumbled Qinger, a swirl of tears filling up her eyes in denial. Ever since Yuan Xuan had entered, she had stashed her fierce side aside and only had her soft and obedient look on. It was said that love makes people crazy, this Qinger was an icon of that. Her love for Yuan Xuan had led to her behavioral change, including bing tolerant of another! Mu Chenyan managed to witness Shu Qingers change from a vicious poisoner into a poor girl-next-door all within the matter of seconds... What can we talk about, its all gossips within the family! Chenyan, tell me about your time in the UK... At that point, Shu Qinger paused deliberately as she waited for Yuan Xuans reaction. Mu Chenyans time in the UK? That was a story shared with Qinger! The curve in Yuan Xuans mouth was cold and calctive, his beautiful eyes were zed with a chilly glint as if he was waiting for Zhao Ruoxin to confess everything! For a moment, Mu Chenyan wondered if she was too naive. Maybe Yuan Xuan had already found out for quite a while? Ruoxin, youre interested in the things that happened in the UK as well? He asked lightly, gracefully, nobly, as if he was not moved at all by the revtion of her intention. That was the face he puts on for anyone else. Only Mu Chenyan had seen Yuan Xuan cuddling with Little Ginger Fur Ball as he tried to feed it cat food... Thats right, Im very interested in Brother Xuans story with Qinger! Shu Qinger could not control her feeling of being wronged, her tears were on the verge of rolling over onto her face. She did not want the truth toe out at this time, in this manner. However, seeing Mu Chenyans interaction with Yuan Xuan, why was this her ending after persevering for so many years? Brother Xuan, have you already forgotten about Qingerpletely? That was Qingers past! If you wanted to hear about it, Ruoxin, there were plenty of chances to do so at the mansion. Moreover, there was not much sense in knowing that past. You look identical to Qinger, but you were totally different individuals! Yuan Xuans words were so emotionless, it was almost an apathetic indifference. He was warning the woman that even though they look alike, Zhao Ruoxin would never be Shu Qinger! Shu Qinger was misty-eyed. Her fingers trembled against the table. Does that mean that you care about Qinger? I dont mean to rece the Qinger in your memory, but I need to know something. If I tell you that I am Qinger, how would you treat me? Mu Chenyan felt Yuan Xuans arm tightened around her! Shu Qinger spoke decisively, If I tell you that the woman who died three years ago was Zhao Ruoxin, and I am Shu Qinger, will you ept that your Qinger had been reborn? The three people had finallyid out all their cards on the table! In that moment, Yuan Xuans eyes were filled with gxies, deep and expansive. His expression was calm to the point of being nk. For a split second, Mu Chenyan did not know what would cause his emotion to flicker! If Qinger is still alive, Ill be happy! I trust that grandmother will feel the same! It was too calm. Whether he knew the stories behind or not, that reaction was too heartless, too frigid. Yuan Xuan, youve been poisoned by this woman, you even forgot your promise to me! Shu Qingers lips quivered, her tears sliding off her face uncontrobly. Mu Chenyan was startled. His promise to her? What promise could that be? Yuan Xuan was still behaving coolly, his words were slowed to an extreme. Qinger, I promised to take care of you for a lifetime, but I wasnt saying I am willing to be lovers with you. I have treated you like a sister, always, and forever! Saying that, he turned to look at Mu Chenyan, his cold demeanoryered with a hint of warmth. There will only be one Mrs Yuan! Mu Chenyan was surprised at how aloofly Yuan Xuan had epted Zhao Ruoxins identity change to Shu Qinger! When she had heard his emotional confession, her heart was frantic. She looked at Yuan Xuans profile and asked with a shaky voice, You knew, didnt you? Hearing her question, Yuan Xuan sighed at his womans adorable silliness! It doesnt matter if I knew. You, however, spent so much effort to reach this conclusion, you even went to City C to find out. And after you did, you tried so hard to hide it from me. Youre so deeply distrustful about me, shouldnt I have epted it silently? Did you think that I would pounce at her and hold her in my arms? Did you think that would be a normal reaction for me? Mu Chenyan was speechless. Mu Chenyan lowered her head and instantly felt that she was being petty... She did worry about it. If Yuan Xuan knew Shu Qinger was still alive, would his love for her be rekindled? Little Chenyan had made a mistakemon to womenspeaking with a forked tongue. She had intentionally kept her distance from Yuan Xuan, but at the same time, she could not help being attracted by him. Sometimes, she had had calctive moments like this. If you arent so... I... Hearing Yuan Xuan call her out, Mu Chenyan had nothing to say about that. Shu Qinger was extremelt defeated! She pointed at Mu Chenyan, shaking. Yuan Xuan, there was only her in your heart? Why was her not the one who saved you when you were in danger? If you didnt see that I was humiliated by those people, why are you giving me the cold shoulder? As she was saying that, Qinger started crying out of agitation. Mu Chenyan was confused by the turn of events. However, in seeing Yuan Xuans frigid face lined with guilt, she understood some things, causing her to shudder. Yuan Xuan released Mu Chenyan and reached out to take Qingers shivering hands tofort her. Nowhere in this move had any sense of romance. With a piercing look, he said, Qinger, I remembered that you saved me. If I was disgusted by you, why would I have promised to take care of you for life? I... want you... to marry me... Qinger did not relent, her tiny hands tugging at Yuan Xuansrger hands. Do you think that Im... dirty... Chapter 267 - My Promise Had Never Been a Romantic One

Chapter 267: My Promise Had Never Been a Romantic One

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Realizing Yuan Xuan was not speaking, Qingers emotion was a little out of control. She continued, I was afraid youll be disgusted with your Qinger because you couldnt forget those scenarios, so I pretended to be Zhao Ruoxin as soon as I returned from City C! At least, Ruoxin looks the same with Qinger, and in front of you, Zhao Ruoxin is clean... Shu Qinger began to tremble out of agitation, she did not n to expose herself like this so soon, but she could not help it when she saw how Yuan Xuan treated Mu Chenyan. She pointed at Mu Chenyan, her eyes crimson with hatred, as she growled, Why me? She should be the unlucky one, why is it that I was the one who saved you, but also the one you dislike? This is not fair... Mu Chenyan was perplexed. She looked at Yuan Xuan with an inquiring gaze and asked softly, Whats going on? Yuan Xuan hugged Mu Chenyan tightly and turned to see her pale face. Heforted her. Its nothing. I told you, you dont need to know some things! He was so protective of Mu Chenyan... Shu Qinger shot into a standing position after hearing that. She looked like she was going to tear Mu Chenyan to pieces, a dangerously ferocious grin hanging on her face. Brother Xuan, if Mu Chenyan doesnt exist in this world, will you love me? This woman shouldnt exist in the first ce... As soon as Yuan Xuan heard Qinger say those words, his softened gaze sharpened up again. He growled, Qinger, you saved me, and you dont disgust me! However, my promise had never been a romantic one. Mu Chenyan had nothing to do with it. If you dare to touch her... A sanguine savageness appeared on his face. Anyone would have endured the same! ... Returning to the Hibiscus Garden, the mans expression was calm without a shred of the cold rage he had earlier on. It was as if he was not the person who experienced the entire scenario from before. Mu Chenyan knew that if Yuan Xuan had decided to keep something a secret, not even her could pry his mouth open. However, there were some things that she could not help but feel like they were scratching at her without her knowing. After a long silence, Mu Chenyan considered her words. You knew Qinger was alive long before, didnt you? Mu Chenyan had the reason to believe that Yuan Xuan would not be in the dark for long, but thinking that her conversation with Qinger waspletely discreet was a naive thought! I didnt know for sure. Before this, I was just suspecting it! Yuan Xuan held the steering wheel with both his hands, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and his voice was slightly coarse. I was only sure when the Zong He Incident happened! Hearing Yuan Xuans exnation, Mu Chenyan was slightly surprised. Her damp eyes looked at Yuan Xuan with a silly adorableness that melted Yuan Xuans heart as he peered over with his peripheral vision. It was deep in the spring season. The road on which the car sped along toward the mansion was decorated with a vivacious green with dots of red mixed in. Yuan Xuan kept his voice slow andposed as he continued exining to Mu Chenyan. I knew Zhao Yanni was poisoned. After she was rescued, the medical report mentioned that hallucinogenicponents were detected in her body. I thought about it, if she took drugs like this or if she was forced to take it, it must be because she had to look like she was mentally unstable. She was admitted into Zong He, in which the incident happened soon after. The only target there could only be Ye Kun. At this point, Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyans lips moved, but before she could say anything, Yuan Xuan stopped her. You dont need to know about Ye Kun! Curiosity killed the cat! Mu Chenyan pouted in dissatisfaction. She tugged on the safety belt and whined. No wonder the others always said that everywhere within the Yuan Family Mansion is conspiracies. From what I can see, youre the biggest conspiracist of them all... Yuan Xuan was so triggered by that, heughed. However, he did not bother arguing with Mu Chenyan. By that point, Ive already suspected the one who brought Zhao Yanni to Luo Hai was not Zhao Ruoxin at all! Zhao Ruoxin did not have loving parents in her childhood. She was actually very dependent on Zhao Yanni. ording to Yan Juns investigation in City C, Zhao Ruoxin had always been good to Zhao Yanni even though she wasnt a good mother! Mu Chenyan recalled Zhao Yanni describing Zhao Ruoxin. After she arrived at Luo Hai and had be pregnant with a mysterious mans child, she started sending money to Zhao Yanni, she even dreamed on bringing her sister and mother over to stay with her! Evidently, the real Ruoxin was a woman weak in resolution, so she prioritized her mother-daughter rtionship much heavier than Qinger had done. Qinger and her mother had almost never stayed together, so there wasnt any camaraderie to speak of. During the Spring Festival, when she had brought Zhao Yanni to Yuan Family, Ive begun to suspect due to her attitude. Combining that with her willingness to be so cruel to Zhao Yanni, Ive already guessed that this woman is not Zhao Ruoxin! Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Xuans analysis was logical, so she nodded and asked, If you knew that shes involved in the Zong He Incident, does it mean that your protection of her was because youre not willing to let her go through it if she was Qinger? What was she talking about just now... Even though she did not have much hope in getting the answer, Mu Chenyan wanted to know! Yuan Xuans profile was angr and sharp, tiny beads of sweat began forming on the bridge of his nose. He did not look at Mu Chenyan, but his voice was gentle. What a stubborn personality! It was true that Yuan Xuan had been doting on her, but he had secrets he did not wish for her to find out. Even if she had made a ruckus, he would still keep his mouth shut. Mu Chenyan sighed, Yuan Xuan continued, I did cover up for Qinger in the Zong He Incident. However, even if I didnt, the police still wouldnt find anything to incriminate Qinger. The poison was ced by Zhao Yanni! With regards to Qingers identity, everything was just guesswork. We still need proofs, but the process of investigating her was not so smooth sailing. Someone erased parts of her history. Hearing Yuan Xuans exnation, Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that her admission into the hospital due to her craving for spicy food, and in turn meeting Liang Zihan, had all been a blessing in disguise... I tried to get the precise information about Qinger from Zhao Yanni, but she was being very wary about me. Yuan Xuan paused, a never-seen-before grin appearing across his handsome face. Therefore, I let you go there. Im not surprised that Zhao Yanni would be grasping at straws as she turned to you. After all, there werent many people she could depend on in Luo Hai. Thinking back to when Zhao Yanni had left mncholically, Mu Chenyan realized that had treated Mu Chenyan like a life-saving straw. Since she was going to sacrifice herself, she needed to find someone trustworthy to take care of Qinger and to take responsibility for everything that had happened in the Zong He Incident. Zhao Yanni had left you with her suicide note, it meant that she had already told you about Qingers real identity so she could take responsibility for everything. Even though you always do things behind my back, this time you helped me! At that, Yuan Xuans grin became wider. It was then that Mu Chenyan knew she was used by him, So you knew about everything, and you still managed to keep it under wraps, what a natural-born conspiracist! Yuan Xuanughed silently. Is this my wife praising me? Chapter 268 - I Want Your Wife to Accompany Me Tonight

Chapter 268: I Want Your Wife to Apany Me Tonight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan returned to the Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu ran out and reported, Mistress, the yellow cat had been dispirited the whole day and didnt eat at all. You probably should go look at it! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan thought, Little Ginger Fur Ball, that fat cat, doesnt want to eat, it must be ill! She did not even change and went straight to the little garden on the third floor. As expected, Little Ginger Fur Ball did not mew at her nor approached her joyfully as usual. Instead, itid in its new bed lethargically, its ck eyes swirling with a watery gleam. Briquet, on the other hand, was different from its usual, calm self as it scampered toward Mu Chenyan impatiently. Meow meow... Briquet sounded upset. Its wife was sick, so it looked worried. There were toys pooling around Little Ginger Fur Ball, it must be Briquets attempt to cheer Little Ginger Fur Ball up, by bringing it toys. Briquet, dont worry, Ginger was just sick. Lemme look at it, it should be fine. Mu Chenyanforted Briquet and brushed its coal-ck fur. Meow meow... Briquet followed Mu Chenyan, hopping and skipping behind her. Mu Chenyan bent down and picked up Little Ginger Fur Ball. The yellow cat was mewing miserably at Mu Chenyan, its voice not as rich as before. On the fur near to the corner of its eyes was some sticky secretion. Mu Chenyan patted Little Ginger Fur Balls stomach. It was bloated and hard, so no wonder it could not eat. Yuan Xuan came in after changing. He took over Little Ginger Fur Ball, inspecting it and said, This glutton. Ah Fu said its eaten double the amount Briquet did for breakfast. It was already fat and clumsy, doesnt have as much exercise as Briquet, and it eats so much. It must be having indigestion. What do we do? Mu Chenyan was a little anxious. She had liked cats since young, more so since these two were gifted to her by Yuan Xuan! She thought in anxiety that among the whole of the Yuan Family Mansion, only the two cats were not the scheming type, especially Little Ginger Fur Ball. Its falling sick had scared Mu Chenyan dearly. Its night time. Not even pet shops are open, what do we do? Mu Chenyan thought, Pets cant go to the emergency ward. Or Ill take Little Ginger Fur Ball there right away. Yuan Xuanughed, there was a doctor at home, was there not? He turned around and yelled, Ah Fu, go to the Tranquility Mansion and call Fifth Miss! A half-hourter. The youngest, prettiest cardioneurologist of the military hospital, Yuan Tian, turned into Luo Hais number one socialite mistresss personal cat doctor. Yuan Tian massaged Little Ginger Fur Balls stomach as she fed it some medicine that aids digestion. Ginger stretchedfortably. Even Briquet was running around happily... All three of the Yuan Family had studied medicine and surgery, so their house was stocked with somemon medicine. Sometimes, when Old Mistress had headaches or bouts of fever, the family doctor, as well as Yuan Tian, would offer their expertise. However, in this day, she was forced into service for a cat. Aside from Third Young Master Yuan, who else was able to do such a thing? Mu Chenyan, you have been feeding this cat so much, were you trying to eat cat meat in the future? Seeing Ginger had sessfully grown into a ball, Yuan Tian poked its belly. Little Ginger Fur Ball protested weakly, afraid that Mu Chenyan might have taken it seriously and turned it into a cat stew... I cant control it, it kept eating and eating, and finally, it ate something bad... Seeing Little Ginger Fur Ballszy demeanor, Mu Chenyan felt guilty. Other people spoiled their children, and she spoiled her cat. She pampered Little Ginger Fur Ball too much, how would she be willing to eat cat meat? Yuan Xuan wore a set of soft, brown casual clothing and sat at the tea table. He crossed his legs and drank his tea gracefully. His eyes darted between the two cat-ying women, his lips slightly upturned. Just observe, itll be fine. Forced Labor Yuan looked up and saw her trust-fund-baby brother rxing and immediately became triggered. A beautiful, talented, charismatic cardioneurologist like her was only treated like a veterinarian by Third Young Master Yuan of the house... Yuan Tian was a little choked with silent fury. Her eyes rolled around a little and she said with a sweet voice, Third Brother, Im already used as a forced worker, can I have a little incentive? Spill! Yuan Xuans spoke softly, his handsome face carrying a hint of sloth. Youve only saved an overeating fat cat, what can you ask for? Yuan Tian pulled Mu Chenyan to her side and held her arm. She shed Yuan Xuan a smile and said, I want your wife to apany me tonight! Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard. Yuan Xuan snorted. His attractive eyes on his dapper face glinted with coldness, expressing his dissatisfaction. The man looked at Mu Chenyan, his voice was maic. What about yours truly? I will spend my lonely night, sleepless in my own bed! Pfft... Yuan Tian picked up her cup and had just taken a sip before Yuan Xuans dramatic humor forced her to spit it out. Yuan Tians face was red as she smiled in mischievous thoughts. Her brother was not as unlikeable as she thought, he had this side of cheekiness! You can hug Briquet, I guess. What a coincidence, it doesnt have its wife by its side as well! Having said that, Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at Yuan Xuan and dumped Briquet into Yuan Xuans arms. Briquet, Meow... I agree, I want to sleep by daddy... Yuan Xuan was speechless. Yuan Tian was secretly happy. When they were young, Mu Chenyan and her used to y together. Two adolescent girls sleeping in one bed, having their girls talk. Yuan Xuan who was dumped for the night took his long strides with Briquet in his arms as he went downstairs in silence. Mu Chenyan and a grinning Yuan Tian went to the guest room. After changing into pajamas, Yuan Tian rolled in the bed excitedly, exposing her fair belly. It had been a while since Mu Chenyan had such a rxing night. She procured two packets of yogurt drink and gave one to Yuan Tian. They spent some time in silence, drinking the yogurt drink. Two womenid in bed, one of which was enchanting and charming, the other pure and untainted, forming a scenery on its own. Yuan Tian, Zhao Ruoxin is actually Shu Qinger... After a while, Mu Chenyan said suddenly, her toneposed. Pfft... Yuan Tian spat her yogurt all over her own face embarrasingly. What... whos Qinger? Mu Chenyan passed Yuan Tian a piece of paper towel. Yuan Tian asked as she was wiping her face. Qinger hasnt passed away, the dead one is the real Zhao Ruoxin! After a long period of holding in the secret, Mu Chenyan had to confide in someone. However, the secret would soon be public knowledge. Shu Qingers identity would, sooner orter, be exposed. Whats wrong? Yuan Tian finished wiping her face, but she was still clueless about the news. Mu Chenyan recounted the whole story to Yuan Tian. However, she kept the parts where Qinger was vited in the UK and yed by her stepfather and Xia Tao hidden. After all, saying these stories would only make it more embarrassing for Qinger in the Yuan Family. Wait, Ye Kun? Yuan Tian was pensive. Her tiny face was flushed, like any normal youngdys. He must be the mysterious patient my dad hid! Chapter 269 - We Just Did It Yesterday…

Chapter 269: We Just Did It Yesterday...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wait, Ye Kun? Yuan Tian was pensive. Her tiny face was flushed, like any normal youngdys. He must be the mysterious patient my dad hid! Mu Chenyan nodded. When Zong He was in trouble, the first person Yuan Xuan said has to be protected was Ye Kun. Hes probably the one who got sent to Third Uncles military hospital! Dad was being so secretive about it, he even had several close subordinates take care of him specifically. He has an entire in-patient ward to himself, and Third Brother even sent someone to guard the ce! At the thought that there were ces in the military hospital that she could not enter, Yuan Tian was not happy. Yuan Tangshuo was prettyx with Yuan Tian. Aside from being strict on her studies, he had allowed her to do whatever she wanted. Because of that, Lu Shan had had some altercations with Yuan Tangshuo. Now that a ward was restricted even from her, it was pretty evident that it housed Ye Kun, like Mu Chenyan had imed. Why would my brother hide a patient? Why did Qinger spend so much effort on convincing Zhao Yanni to harm him? Yuan Tian asked a series of questions. I want to know the answer to questions as well. But, you know, Yuan Xuan had thought about this extensively. He wouldnt let me know! But the more he does that, the more you want to know, isnt it? Yuan Tian smiled cunningly. You know how to help me, right? A sliver of hope was lingering inside Mu Chenyans heart as she looked at Yuan Tian expectantly. Ill need to try something. My dads being really tight about it. Its not so easy getting close to that ward without being his closest confidants, Said Yuan Tian as she pondered. Soon, she said slowly, Wait for my news! Ill find a way to sneak you in! Mu Chenyan was excited. She thought she had had the best luck. Even a tiny sickness from Little Ginger Fur Ball could score her an idental news. Mu Chenyan did not know why she was so interested in the mysterious Ye Kun. However, instinctively, she just wanted to meet him. Why would Shu Qinger put exert herself to harm a patient in a mental hospital, and what was the intention of the person behind her? With those questions haunting her, Mu Chenyan could not sleep even after 11 pm. Worrying about Little Ginger Fur Ball, Mu Chenyan climbed out of bed and sneaked upstairs to look at the sick cat. Little Ginger Fur Ball ingested the digestion medicine Yuan Tian concocted for it before Mu Chenyan massaged it. It took a dump and soon, it was feeling good enough to y with Briquet. Briquet saw that its future wife had returned to its usual ferocity and immediately forgot its promise about sleeping with its daddy. It started ying with Little Ginger Fur Ball, asionally pretending to bite Little Ginger Fur Balls ear with its fangs. Little Ginger Fur Ball was a fat cat. If it were to fight Briquet seriously, it would not have won against Briquet. However, due to Briquets doting, it could be a little arrogant sometimes. How did the saying go? Thats right, to be conceited because one is in someones good graces! Seeing the two having fun, Mu Chenyan was relieved. She stood up and patted the dust off of her. Turning around, she inadvertently ran into an embrace. Warmth, with a hint of extra heat, it was almost burning! Scent, with a tinge of extra daze, it was nearly rousing! He locked her in his embrace tightly, not budging. Mu Chenyan groaned lowly, her heart pounding aberrantly. The fragrance in this embrace, it was the familiar minty shower gel! When she had recognized Yuan Xuan, she thumped her tiny fist on his shoulder. You startled me! You dont even make sounds while walking! Yuan Xuan kept silent, focusing on her tiny face, huge waves rolling in his eyes. Youre not even speaking, what are you doing! Go back to sleep! Mu Chenyan wanted to break free of his curb, but he ducked down and picked her up by her knees and made his way toward the lounge chair in the corner... Im not doing anything, but I wanna do you! Mu Chenyan saw a familiar mood in his eyes. Her body quivered uncontrobly. You... youre too much... We just did it yesterday... Mu Chenyan could not understand. How do men have seemingly inexhaustible energy when ites to this? ԪĿ,,żɳ,§ú˯,ֻ̫̫˵! Mu Chenyan was forced onto the lounge chair by the man. One of his hands caressed her side, and the other hand worked on her thin, authentic silk nightgown. His fingertips were slightly cold as they caused her to tremble where they traced. It was especially so when they were on the open-air balcony, with Yuan Tian staying in the guest room on the second floor, Ah Fu staying in the wing room, and the lover cats right in front of them... Wait... Yuan Xuan... Can we do it another day? Mu Chenyan thought she would die in embarrassment if Yuan Tian woke up and looked for her. What other day do we do it on? Hmm? The man did not stop. Instead, he lightly traced her vicle, leaving behind a trail of kisses, making her gasp. I remember, your period ising! Yuan Xuans lips stopped high, his tongue sketching the outline of her face. Mu Chenyan moaned uncontrobly as her breath quickened. Her period was really within the corner. Dang it, he even remembered something like this! Then... I can only do it once... Mu Chenyan begged. In the past, when he was in the mood, he would sometimes torture her two to three times in one night. However, such intemperate lust only happened once in a while. Most of the time, they were just like normal couples! However, he would take a long time to reach orgasm... Seeing the blush on Mu Chenyans face, the mist in her eyes, and the fight in her first, Yuan Xuan knew she was worried that if she gave an inch, he might want a mile. He bent down and kissed her earlobes as heforted her. Dont worry, as soon as I send you up there, Ill stop... The lounge chair was not too big, but there was a nice cotton cushion on top. Ah Fu had cleaned it regrly, so it carried the fragrance of the detergent mixed with the smell of the sun. Yuan Xuan kept patrolling hisnd with his lips until she melted into a pool of water... Little Chenyan, have I told you that I am poisoned... Yuan Xuans voice was abnormally guttural as it invaded her ears. Feeling that, Mu Chenyan yelped, and he continued, Only you are my antidote... The man groaned... Mu Chenyans body was yed with by the man as it became suppler than she could imagine. She held her lips tightly, afraid of making any sound, but Yuan Xuan drove her up the wall. Little Chenyan, why arent you moaning? He was drenched in his sweat, but he did not stop teasing her. His eyes were filled with a naughtiness as he intensified his movements... Ah... Mu Chenyan could not stand his teasing and moaned beyond her control, her eyes begging. Yuan Xuan... Please... We cant... Mmph... He did not want to lose his excitement and muffled her pleas with his lips... In the eyes of the two cats... Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball did not know what their parents were doing, but daddy was bullying mommy to the verge of crying! The more mommy begged, the more excited daddy became! Wow, in the end, mommy did cry and threw a fit, scratching and wing at daddy... Not only did daddy not get angry, he was joyful. He started nibbling and biting mommys shoulder and her softer parts... Meow... Briquet, do you understand whats happening? Mew... Little Fur Ball Ginger, I dont quite understand, but we can try daddys action right now in the future... Chapter 270 - Wait For My Good News

Chapter 270: Wait For My Good News

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Where have you gone? Mu Chenyan tried her best to be quiet as she made her way back to the bedroom. As she pushed open the door, Yuan Tian was woken up. She asked Mu Chenyan as she was rubbing her sleepy eyes. Oh... I... I went upstairs to check on Little Ginger Fur Ball! Mu Chenyans voice was raspy. That idiot man made her scream so loud, her voice was almost gone... What happened to your voice? Did you get a cold? Yuan Tian sounded a little concerned. Mu Chenyans face was red and she deflected the question by iling her arms. Im fine, just need to drink some water. Yuan Tian looked at her watch. It showed 1.30 am. She turned around and said, Go to bed, that fat cat wont get into trouble, so dont miss that fatty meat! Mu Chenyan smiled bitterly. She thought, When have I missed that fatty meat? Its your brother who was missing this piece of meat, alright? Purplish marks were all over her body, so Mu Chenyan carefully chose a set of full-sleeved pajamas and changed into it. ... The next day, Mu Chenyan woke up early, worried that Yuan Tian might see her bruises after her experience. Yuan Tian waszing in bed, unwilling to get up. Yuan Tangshuos phone call was like thunder andva. I want to see you at the hospital within an hour! Yuan Tangshuo pampered this daughter, but pampering her did not mean that he would indulge her unrestrained. There would be an experting in to perform consultation in the morning. Yuan Tian was not an expert, but as the year-round auditor beside her father, how could she be absent? Big Tian looked at the watch with her cloudy eyes. It was 8 am. She stayed in the Hibiscus Garden on her own volition, and she dared to sleep in... By the time Yuan Tian darted downstairs, Ah Fu stuffed the packed breakfast into her hands and cautioned her, Fifth Miss, careful, its hot... Thedy who did not even put on makeup thanked him profusely and waved goodbye to Mu Chenyan. Based on her mouth shape, she seemed to be saying, Wait for my good news. After sending Yuan Tian away, Mu Chenyans attention snapped back. Recalling that it was almost a half hour before Yuan Xuan needed to get to work, she asked, What do you n to do about Qinger? Sooner orter, Shu Qingers real identity would need to be announced to the outside world. The tragedy with Shu Qinger had involved the Yuan Family, so its effect could be seen in the whole of Luo Hai. Now that her real self had returned, they would need toe up with an exnation. Yuan Xuan did not betray any expression on his face. He said calmly, Ive contacted a painting studio in Italy for her. When everythings confirmed, well send her to Italy. Seeing the surprised look on Mu Chenyans face, Yuan Xuan continued, Her artistic aplishments was not bad. It would be wasteful for her to stay in the country, so she might as well continue studying over there and open up a studio of her own! The Italians were much more amodating. If she could find a suitable partner, she could live peacefully for the rest of her life. һ,Ҫ? What about grandmother? Lets not let her know for now. Shes quite old, she cant handle extreme emotions like this! Yuan Xuan thought of and prepared for every facet of the issue. After all, only Old Mistress would be able to control him among everyone in the Yuan Family. Yuan Xuan was not prepared to have his hands tied like this. Seeing Mu Chenyans silence, Yuan Xuan knew how troubled she was, so heforted her. Qinger was just someone who was used in the incident at Zong He. Zhao Yanni who put the poison there has died, so the police had no evidence to charge Qinger. Yuan Xuan was speaking the truth. Both Su Qingcheng and Wu Huai had said that the case was effective unsolved. I wasnt trying to shelter her. Going to Italy is the best choice she has. Shes lived there for several years, shes had a pretty hard life, I wont leave her without care! Yuan Xuan was one of the people who valued rtionship the most. You know the people behind the Zong He Incident, dont you? Mu Chenyan picked up hints from Yuan Xuans words. Yuan Xuan felt helpless against Mu Chenyans wits. Mu Chenyan, if youre less curious, I might find you cuter! Yuan Xuan passed his tie to her and said haughtily, If you cant stand it, you can return to work! Mu Chenyan sighed. She was just not one who would sit still. Yuan Xuan would not confess. Mu Chenyan thought, It would be nice to go back to work. There is work to be done, after all. Whats more, with Su Qingcheng around, it would be easier for me to work when there were like-minded people. Ill be more than happy to! As she said that, Yuan Xuan stared at Mu Chenyan doubtfully as she sauntered upstairs to change. Before long, she reappeared with a lightweight outfit of a striped cotton dress and a pair of white shoes. Mu Chenyans inky-ck hair was tied up in a bun behind her head, and she wore a white cap. You said it, I can go to work now! Lets go? Yuan Xuan looked at the woman who walked in front of him andughed silently. If she wanted to go out, she can go out as long as she doesnt make troubles. ... There was an untouched forest area in the North Hill. Years ago, Yuan Familys Old Master had bought parts of it and enclosed it to nurture plenty of tiny animals. Yuan Xuan had been there, hunting with his grandfather. Old Masters marksmanship was remarkable as he used to serve the army and traversed the primitive jungle of the southwest region, picking up all kinds of skills and abilities. Young Yuan Xuan had seen his grandfather ride horses, shoot arrows, and wield all sorts of weapons. Yuan Tangbai was Old Masters favorite due to his knack in the same things. Even if Yuan Xuan did not use to wield hunting guns like toy guns, but he was influenced through constant exposure. In this day, Yuan Xuan drove, but not to his office. Shao Yibai and invited him to the North Hill Enclosure to hunt. It had been a while since Yuan Xuan had hunted, so he was happy toply. Shao Yibai had yed with guns in the army and had earned the nickname Master Marksman. It was not his original intention to step back to the second line. However, due to friction inside his family, a fearless person like Shao Yibai had decided to strip his military rank offpletely, enraging Old Master Shao, and finally took a non-military role. Coming to Luo Hai to supervise Yuan Familys oil field in Nan Hai District was just an excuse, he was happy to be out here, living life! Knowing that Yuan Family had a paddock, Shao Yibai could not suppress his urges and invited Yuan Xuan to hunt. However, Yuan Xuan was a true wife-ve. Even with just Mu Chenyan, he had had his hands full. It was not an easy feat to call Yuan Xuan out! Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai changed into a lightweight survival outfitcamouge jacket, mountaineering boots, and carried two guns. Yuan Xuan knew Tian Qi had wanted to have an outing with Shao Yibai, so naturally, he brought him along. Tian Qi was so excited, he could not sleep. He hade to the paddock the night prior and had begun inspecting the surroundings and terrain as the first ray hits the earth. Even though Tian Qi had a low emotional quotient, he had an exceptional sense in these things. When Shao Yibai saw the joyful Tian Qi, he yelled, Oi, catch! He threw a rifle at Tian Qi. Tian Qi tried the rifle out. He had not touched any rifles sinceing out of the army. Now that he could hunt, it was as if he had been injected with a new life... Chapter 271 - I Just Dont Feel like Reeling in the Nets Yet

Chapter 271: I Just Dont Feel like Reeling in the Nets Yet

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The enclosure was notrge, but one would not be able to finish walking around even if they had three days to do so. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai walked around the border of the enclosure with just a map in hand. Every year, Yuan Family had spent hundreds of millions to maintain the ecology of the area. All the animals were free-range, so they were on high alert. The three were only practicing their hunting skills. Before noon, they managed to snipe four rabbits, three Siberian musk deers, and seven pheasants, which was satisfactory. Originally, they were going for a wild boar, so Tian Qi was not too pleased by it. You two are going about without much weight on you, so you were ying around. I was carrying all the trophies, so if a wild boar appear right now, you two carry it! Back when Shao Yibai had led a column of special forces deep into the forest separating Northern Burma and Western Yunnan, he had saved several children being trafficked by a underground organization. One of them was Tian Qi. They had wanted to send them back to the relief station, but in that moment, Tian Qi snapped out of his wooden-headedness. He tugged at Shao Yibais camouge costume and begged, Big brother, can you bring me along? Shao Yibai looked at the bluish-ck irises of the bony boy, pinched the boys arm lightly, and asked yfully, Youre like ady, what can you do? Tian Qi said with a simple-minded grin, I can fight and carry rifles! ... Hearing Tian Qis protest, Shao Yibai knocked his head. Alright. My Blockhead has grown up and started to have his own ulterior motives! Yuan Xuanughed along. He looked at the trophies in Tian Qis hands and decided that it was enough food for the afternoon. He told Shao Yibai, Lets go back to ry station. We cane back in the afternoon! Hes right, if we managed to score a wild boar, you can carry it yourself! Considering his own heroic stance, Shao Yibai was not worried. What encumberance would a wild boar add? I am in charge, of eating it! Shao Yibai said in a pompous ouw manner as he led the hunting party with a self-centered parade. Tian Qi kept the rabbits and pheasants on his body, while Yuan Xuan took over the Siberian musk deer. They went past three ridges before a spacious clearing appeared in front of them. Without the giant trees that obscure the sky, the clearing seemed really empty. Yuan Xuan stood still with his rifle as his walking stick and scanned the clearing, piping up suddenly to Shao Yibai, Fourteen years ago, I saved Ye Kun here. He was pursued by other people for years and escaped from Xi Fan back to Luo Hai and into this enclosure! He didnt eat or drink. When I saved him, he was half-dead. He was hiding in this enclosure, hurt by beasts, and his injury was not cauterized. By the time he was sent to the hospital, the wound on his leg has been infected and had to be amputated. His hands were also badly injured by someone else, so he had that uncontroble shaking ever since... Who would believe he was the personal bodyguard fourteen years ago, the sharpshooter who was infamous across thends? Hearing that, Shao Yibai patted Yuan Xuans shoulder and said softly, The pawn you moved this time should yield fruit soon, right? Yuan Xuans eyes were dark, beneath his calm demeanor was full of murderous intention. What needs to be done had been done, I just dont feel like reeling in thes yet. Luo Hai had been calm and peaceful for so many years, if it ends without some turmoil, the game wouldve been boring! ... Aside from Wu Huai, everyone was surprised by Mu Chenyans return. After a few days of not seeing Mu Chenyan, Su Qingcheng had a seemingly-limitless amount of things to tell her. However, it was business hour, and she was not as rxed as Mu Chenyan. She had a case that she had to work on. With a simple greeting, the two women made an appointment to have lunch together. Zhang Xin had been libidinous for the past few days. The moment he knew about Mu Chenyans return, it was as if he was injected with a cardiotonic agent. He was passionate to the point that Mu Chenyan felt an ardent stare from her back, so she had been slightly cold to Zhang Xin. There were several people who knew of Mu Chenyans identity in the police, but Zhang Xin did not. Everyone had been busy with their own business, coupled with Wu Huais strictness forbidding his subordinates from chitchatting, no one had told Zhang Xin. No one would think that he would dare to set his eyes on Yuan Xuans woman... Chenyan, lets have lunch together? Zhang Xin typed up a storm on his keyboard as he quietly invited Mu Chenyan. Separated by twoputers, Zhang Xin was observing Mu Chenyans expression. Normally, the police would dine in their cafeteria, but Zhang Xin wanted to invite Mu Chenyan to have lunch outside. Mu Chenyan was busy with the documents pileed up in front of her and said without even lifting her head, Im eating with Su Qingcheng at noon, you know that. What if I invite you out together with the otherrades in the team on another day? Ive depended much on you for work recently, so I should be the one footing the bill, dont ke on me, senior. This woman had always been able to reject an advance appropriately without leaving the other party feeling embarrassed, but at the same time, clear and concise. Zhang Xin stopped the work he had in his hand and stood, musing out loud, Su Qingcheng had been assigned a pretty big case yesterday, she might not make it back by noon, I think? Sensing no reaction from Mu Chenyan, Zhang Xin sighed and mumbled, The police are such uptight people to involve Luo Hais Yuan Family. The case is evidently not easy, they dont even want me there to report, so I had nothing to do. Who would dare to offend the Yuan Family... Its about the Yuan Family? Mu Chenyan stood as she heard. Seeing that she finally responded, Zhang Xin moved closer to her hurriedly and asked, Youre interested in this case? Tell me! Mu Chenyan stayed patient. If the case involves the Yuan Family, not even Wu Huai would be able to stop her from keeping tabs on it. Every year, our country would set aside an amount of budget for the military houses and would hand them out through Luo Hais Arms Control Department, do you know about that? Mu Chenyan shook her head, she was not too knowledgeable on these things. Cliffs notes version, please. Zhang Xin ryed the information he had heard elsewhere to Mu Chenyan. (1000-ish words redacted for censorship...) (TN: Author redacted the recounting of the information from a previous chapter for brevity.) How much money would it involve to have so many important people make their moves? If it was about the docking of soldiers pay and creative ounting, Mu Chenyan felt the amount involved was too little to warrant paying attention. It involves several hundred people spanning decades. The exact amount of money involved was not meager. By this time, it matters not how much money was involved, because if something happens, it would be huge. Right now, several departments in the station were working together to solve the case, even the Discipline Inspection Commission had a part in it. What does that have to do with Yuan Family? Mu Chenyan asked expressionlessly. Arms Control Departments Head of Financial Division, Nie Chao, used to be a subordinate of Yuan Tangzhong. Zhang Xin mentioned off-handedly. Division Head Nie was Yuan Tangzhongs secretary. Something happened then that ascended him to his current position. Zhang Xin looked at Mu Chenyan with a knowing look. Mu Chenyan gave it a thought. She did not believe that Yuan Tangzhong was involved in corruption. At least, he would not have risked it for this amount of money. After all, the financial ability of the Yuan Family was of a certain level. However, it was not clear if Yuan Tangzhong would allow his subordinates to participate in unsavory practices like this! Chapter 272 - About the Case You’re following, I’d Like to Go and Have a Look Too

Chapter 272: About the Case Youre following, Id Like to Go and Have a Look Too

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After listening to Zhang Xin words, Mu Chenyan secretly contemted about it and felt that she could not wait for another moment. If it were rted to the Yuan Family, it was better to for her to follow the case aspared to having another person doing it. Hence, Mu Chenyan grabbed the phone and called Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng thought that Mu Chenyan was rushing her for lunch. Picking up the call, she immediately said, Chenyan, Im quite caught up here. Ill only be going backter in the afternoon. Qingcheng, about the case youre following, Id like to go and have a look too. Mu Chenyans intentions were extremely clear. Su Qingcheng knew that Zhang Xin must have disclosed the particrity of this case to Mu Chenyan. It involved the Yuan Family! If the murder had not happened, this kind of major political case would not have needed the involvement of the major crimes department. The one who had led the protest and made the mostmotion was a family with the surname Sun. The male lead was Sun Jie, a scout who had died many years ago in a drill. He left behind a wife and a child. It was not known where the Sun family had gotten the news from, saying that their pension had been suspended, and the younger brother, Sun Xu, felt a deep sense of injustice for his sister-inw. He found out that it was not just one family who had encountered this, hence, they came together through their group contact, and Sun Xu headed the group to seek an exnation. Little did they expect to collide with the peacekeeping police of the government, and the incident had excted into an all out brawl. The situation got out of control. Many of those troublemakers were apprehended, but Sun Xu the leader desperately fled home. He dared not to show himself and was scared that the police woulde up to his door. However, for some mysterious reason, after receiving a call, Sun Xu had gone out again by himself. Old man Sun saw that his second son had not returned for the night and dared not called the police, hence he went searching around with his wife and neighbors. In the early morning of the next day, when Sun Xus body was found, it wasying near the mouth of the sewer... Old man Sun spurted a spray of blood and kicked the bucket next. Since lives were at stake, and this kind of criminal case could not be handled by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Hence, Wu Huai got the order to quickly send men over to handle the matter. A case of greed and corruption, a mob of troublemakers, and a fight had cost a life. It was not known if Sun Xus murder case was tied up with the Financial Secretarys case. Many departments would have to dig deeper and crack this case together. The people and powers implicated in this case were ratherplicated, and it was causing an uproar on the Inte. Zhang Xin had initially intended to write an article reporting on what was happening on the frontlines, but he did not expect Wu Huai to receive a call so soon to forbid any reporting. The onlinements were also quickly blocked. If it was forbidden, then he would not do it. Wu Huai was not supportive of the news reporting department anyway. Wu Huai had chased Zhang Xin away with a long face yesterday, but today, Mu Chenyan wanted to follow them instead... Su Qingcheng was put in a difficult position after hearing her request. She hesitated for a moment before replying softly, Chenyan, Im not in the position to make this decision. Youve got to get Captain Wus approval. Zhang Xin had wanted to follow us yesterday but was chased away by Captain Wu... Mu Chenyans gaze fell on Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin nodded and confirmed that that was what he had encountered. Recalling the handsome and gloomy face of Wu Huai, Zhang Xin felt indignant. Mu Chenyan smiled. We can act first before informing himter. Dont worry, I wont implicate you. ... Aftering back from hunting, Yuan Xuan asked Tian Qi to catch some crickets for the two kittens to y with. Shao Yibai watched Yuan Xuans henpecked manner and his mouth twitched, thinking nothing of it. When Yuan Xuan saw Shao Yibais face, his expression was in as he remarked lightly, I cant bepared with certain people. After all, men like me who have eaten real meat are not on the same level as those who can only consume rabbit meat, wild chicken and deer and say that they are delicious. Hearing that, Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan was mocking him once again for not having a wife and teasing him formenting on the fragrance of the rabbit meat. He could not tolerate it anymore! He wanted to eat meat too! Picking up his phone, Shao Yibai dialed a number. Su Qingcheng was preupied with the overwhelming workload. When she saw that it was Shao Yibais call, she felt snappy. On one hand, she hated this mans persistent entanglement with her; on the other hand, Su Qingcheng hated herself for being perennially disturbed by him. Taking a deep breath, Su Qingcheng pressed the decline button. Mu Chenyan had been following Su Qingcheng along the entire day. When she saw that herplexion was not that well, Mu Chenyan grew a little worried. Qingcheng, whats wrong? Su Qingcheng spread her hands. Nothing. Just a lunatic! Mr Shao the lunatic heard the ever unchanging Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavable. Please try againter phrase. Hisplexion turned darker and darker. This damned woman. It was fine if Su Qingcheng did not want to meet him, but she would not even pick up his call. If this situation were to persist, he would be Yuan Xuansughing stock. Su Qingcheng was headstrong, but Shao Yibai was even more strong-willed than her. Yuan Xuan, Ill get going first. As he finished speaking, Shao Yibai quickly turned his steering wheel and swiftly left the paddock parking area. Yuan Xuan looked at the two crickets in the little cage held by Tian Qi and enthusiastically said, Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet will definitely like these two friends. ... Mu Chenyan followed Su Qingcheng around the entire day and was worn out by the end of it. Although it was tiring, it was also incredibly fruitful at the same time. With the aid of Su Qingchengs identity, Mu Chenyan did not face any hindrances in the interviewing process. However, one could not expect those who know the inside story to divulge too much information regarding this kind of matter. They had been in the field for a long time and knew what could be said and what could not be said. Mu Chenyan had brought the information collected during the day back to organize them and had nned to write a report on them first. Her focus was still on the Financial Secretary case, and although it was an extremely sensitive topic. This is because the information Mu Chenyan had acquired were all from the family members. Sun Xu was dead, and so was his father. The entire Sun Family mourned at the loss of their two beloved members, and Mother Sun had already passed out a couple of times. Sun Xus body was left at the forensic department for an autopsy. The Sun familys eldest daughter-inw had remarried, leaving a nine-year-old daughter and Mother Sun behind to depend on each other. There were no pirs of support anywhere in sight, and without the help of rtives, Mother Sun could only give Old Master a simple funeral. The Sun family was now left with a widow and an orphan. They had no means to pursue and dispute over the pension, but as for their sons death, there had to be some sort of justification for it. Hence, when Su Qingcheng and the rest had gone to investigate Sun Xus murder case, Mother Sun was extremely cooperative as she had hoped to finally obtain justice for her son. Although he wasnt arrested for being the leader of the mob, his end result was worse... It wouldve been better for him to be arrested back then... Sun Xus mother wept andmented on her son. Mother Sun had two sons. One was a soldier who had managed to be an officer but had died, while another perished in the midst of seeking justice. Mu Chenyan was curious about Sun Xus position as the leader. How did this young man know of a secret that had been hidden for more than ten years? From what Zhang Xin had said, the Financial Secretary had made the ount wless. Mother Sun, what was Sun Xus working as before this? Xiao Jiang, whom Su Qingcheng had dispatched to make a statement, asked. Sun Xu did not study much. After graduating from junior high school, he had been working in various KTVs in Luo Hai as a bartender or waiter. Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of something and interjected, Did Sun Xu bring anything home from the KTV recently? Seeing that Sun Xus mother was confused, Mu Chenyan helped her to recall. For example, any electronic products that can be used for recording, any documents, or micro camera of the likes. Mother Sun thought for a while before answering Mu Chenyan, He had asked me for Leles reading pen a while ago, the kind which is used for reading English, and he had taken it for a few days. When he returned it to meter on, he had asked me to keep it well and gave me another RMB300, asking me to buy a new one for Lele and to keep away the old one... Xiao Jiangs face was filled with delight. He turned to Mu Chenyan, and Mu Chenyan nodded. Xiao Jiang then asked, Wheres that reading pen now? Could you tell us? Chapter 273 - Kill to Silence

Chapter 273: Kill to Silence

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hearing such a detail, Xiao Jiang and Mu Chenyan were excited. Mother Sun said, I felt that the pen was still in good condition. My granddaughter, Lele, usually used it to read English, and it has no other use. Whats the point of buying a new one? Hence, I returned it to Lele. Mu Chenyans heart jumped in her throat and asked, Wheres Lele? Did she take the pen with her? Mother Sun looked at the mess in the house and sighed. So much has been happening at home, and I couldnt help but send Lele to her maternal grandmother to stay away for a few days. She might have taken it with her as she reads English every day... Xiao Jiang asked a few more questions again, but Mu Chenyans attention was on the reading pen. Coming out from the Sun familys house, Xiao Jiang informed Su Qingcheng the result of the investigation and mentioned the reading pen. Chenyan, how did you think of asking that question after hearing about Sun Xus job? Xiao Jiang was bing increasingly curious of Mu Chenyan. She was only a junior reporter, but her mind was so meticulous that she could totally be a detective. Sun Xus unusual request for the mother to keep the pen meant that there must be something about it. Mother Sun said that Sun Xu worked at a sophisticated ce hence its inevitable that he might havee into contact with some of the dignitaries, and those people often looked down on the waiters. Maybe they had discussed about something after getting drunk, and it was overheard by Sun Xu. As Mu Chenyan exined, Xiao Jiangs eyes lightened up, and he felt that it made sense. The topic Sun Xu was interested in would most likely be rted to his brothers pension? Mu Chenyan smiled, Im not sure actually. Its just my spection. Im not a police officer. You guys would need evidence for the case, but I only need to make an assumption hence I could over think situations to explore more possibilities. Su Qingchengughed. Its good to over think. Whats worse is not thinking at all. However, what youve just said is right. Imagination alone wont work. We need evidence. How did it cross your mind that Sun Xu might have passed something to his mother? This was Xiao Jiangs first time here. The Sun family was having a funeral for their Old Master, hence everything was quite chaotic, and he did not have much idea on how to obtain a testimony. However, Mu Chenyan had managed to get a clue just like that, hence he was naturally curious about Mu Chenyans thought processes. Sun Xu had a low education level. In his kind of job, ones not allowed to take his mobile phone with him during working hours. If he really had the intention, he would have used other ways to record the information he overheard. He must have acquired this information by chance. Since he took the reading pen that Lele uses every day for a few days, this meant that in the process, he needed to record numerous times. Mu Chenyan said inly, Of course, this is just my spection. Moreover, I dont think that a waiter with a junior high school education level would take his nieces reading pen for the purpose of learning English. Xiao Jiang was piqued by what he had heard. He had been a criminal police for a few years and knew that cracking cases required evidence. This kind of imaginary practice was definitely forbidden by Wu Huai. He continued asking Mu Chenyan, Then why didnt he buy the most advanced micro camera or recording device then? Su Qingcheng was also intrigued by Mu Chenyans thoughts, hence she let Xiao Jiang asked closely. Mu Chenyan was somewhat embarrassed. The beautiful and charming woman was now blushing. Im just making a blind guess. Dont take it for real. Hurry up and find that reading pen, and then well know for sure. Lele is his brothers orphan, so he must have taken care of that child. When the child learns English, hed have told him that the reading pen has a recording function. Sun Xus ie was very low, and he usually has to supplement his familys household expenses. If he were to buy other devices, hed have taken into ount the problem of money spending. Hence, when he has a need, the first thing that he thought of would be whatever that was avable at home. Seeing that Xiao Jiang was about to raise another question again, Mu Chenyan responded directly. As for the 300 dors that he was willing to give to his mother to buy a new one for Lele, it must be because he saved some very important content in the old reading pen which he thought was more valuable than money. Mu Chenyan finished speaking in a breath and took a sip of water from the ss Su Qingcheng had passed to her. Xiao Jiang was ecstatic. Judging from what youve said, I should hurry up and make a move. To do what? Mu Chenyan asked and looked at Su Qingcheng. Go to Leles granny house to retrieve that reading pen. As Xiao Jiang replied, he had already jumped into that ramshackle police car of his. Sigh, Ive said that all these are merely my wild guess. Sun Xus already dead, and even I myself am not sure whether the situation was as such. Mu Chenyan was worried that she would mislead them. Su Qingcheng assured her, Dont worry. Since theres such a circumstance, regardless of whether its like what youve said, we would still have to look for that piece of evidence. Moreover, those whove caused trouble together with Sun Xu came clean yesterday night, saying that Sun Xu had let them listened to a part of a phone recording. Its very likely that Sun Xu had transferred it into his phone for them to hear. These people didnt dare to say much in the station. Sun Xu also didnt let them know where the original copy was, and so theres no substantial evidence that the recording they mentioned existed. Sun Xus mobile phone has long been taken away by the murderer. If you didnt bring it up, I wouldnt have thought that there might be other devices. Mu Chenyan nodded. People nowadays are used to using their mobile phone for all asions. At the ce where Sun Xu worked, if there were any dignitaries discussing something in secret, its impossible that they would allow the waiter to hold the phone and record. Su Qingcheng sighed. Looking at the evidence she had collected the entire day, shemented, I didnt think these two cases would have a connection. It looks like this Sun Xu was murdered because he had known too much. You mean to say that this was to silence him? Although Mu Chenyan agreed with this spection in her heart, she was still shocked. Theres a very high chance that it wasnt an intended murder but that he was identally beaten to death during the interrogation. Well have to wait for the autopsy report before we can be certain of it. ... The two women were upied until the evening, only then did they had a proper hot meal. It was the end of May and the season for skewers. At the beer stall by the roadside, Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan ordered some barbequed skewers and beer and was about to dig in. Mu Chenyan had never had this kind of experience. All her first-time experiences were given to Su Qingcheng. Thest time she had a super spicy set meal at City C, while this time, it was eating skewers and drinking beer. Eating by the street side and drinking cold beer was something that not just the Yuan Family would not allow, but even when in the Mu Family, it was impossible for her to try something like this. Her socialite title was such a fake one. Ive always carried the title of a socialitest time, and I feel that I didnt really experience the reality of the world and the suffering of human life. That was an iplete life! Mu Chenyan was still fearful of eating spicy dishes, hence the skewers she ordered were all vegetables. How about now? It should beplete? Only when one had eaten skewers and drink beer does it count as aplete life! Su Qingcheng remarked gleefully and revealed her clean and white teeth. Her eyes were full of delight. Her meat skewer was glowing red, and this frightened Mu Chenyan. One of my psychological turning points was after I went to the battlefield in the Middle East during my university days. Mu Chenyan smiled and lifted the beer can. It was still a little tough for her to ept this kind of bitter liquid, and she frowned as she took a big gulp. The cold sensation truly felt good. Mu Chenyan smiled and continued saying, The Mu Family and the Yuan Family were at the top of society. All that I saw was a prosperous world, and Ive lived a smooth-sailing life. Even if it was not smooth, I could just y pretend and flirt my way through it. Su Qingcheng chuckled, Its different for me. When I was a child, I had problems with filling my stomach. Hence, my parents picked one from among their seven daughters to be sold off, and unfortunately, I was the one... Mu Chenyan was taken aback. She had never heard Su Qingcheng talked about her past. No wonder she despised the human traffickers that much. In thest operation in City C, she had nearly beaten that female trafficker to death. Qingcheng, you... Words were stuck in Mu Chenyans throat. Being abandoned by ones biological parents, only the person alone could tell how painful it was. Su Qingcheng motioned with her hands and said, Its not worth bringing up. Its all in the past now. Why dont we talk about you? I really admire your courage. I was a soldier back then, but Ive never actually gone to a battlefield. There were many wars in the middle east, and it was intense. I signed up to join the peacekeeping forces but got rejected. When Su Qingcheng thought about the reasons she might have been rejected, arge part of it was due to Shao Yibai intervening. She imagined the meat skewer in front of her to be Shao Yibai and fiercely gnawed at it! Indeed, the war makes people realize that in the face of life and death, everything is but a walking shadow. In the refugee camp, Ive seen the struggle and suffering of those at the bottom of society. Only then did I realize the insignificance of all Ive experienced. In order to survive and for ones loved ones to live on, one could even lose their most basic dignity. Today, they might still be alive and walking, but tomorrow, when a bomb explodes, they could be pieces. Su Qingcheng had a fewrge sses of beer, and her eyes were slightly red. She looked at Mu Chenyan and suddenlymented, Hence, with that encounter in the battlefield, youve considered having gone through lifes honing, which was how you made it through the two years in prison... Hearing that, Mu Chenyan nodded and replied softly, Indeed, life in prison was a vast difference from my previous life. From a pampered youngdy to a prisoner, the psychological impact was truly not small. Ive got no loved ones, no identity, no love, no dignity, and no hope for the future life. When Mu Chenyan said that, her eyes dimmed. The unfair treatment she had experienced during that period was not expressed in hate and grievances but in a in and simple manner, as if she was talking about some other peoples story. Did you thought of ending your life? Su Qingcheng asked. No. Even though I dont know whether I could leave that ce, Ive never thought ofmitting suicide. I can ept death, but I dont want to end it on my own. Ive seen even harsher life and death, so I chose to respect life. Hence, though I was beaten and bullied, I bore it all silently. It wasnt because I was still thinking of Yuan Xuan and my family. Now that Ie to think of it, I only feel that those days were also aplement to making my life whole. I cant be living a peaceful life forever and be a socialite who never knew the suffering of the human world... Su Qingchengughed. When you first came over to be a reporter, even Wu Huai looked down on you, afraid that you could not take on the workload. It seems that a philistine man is just merely as such, while a womans tenacity is extremely strong. Not only did you persist, but youve also helped us to crack the case. Mu Chenyan gestured with her hand and smiled. Its all just my wild guess. Theres no rule to it but just an intuition. Its also merely luck. Su Qingcheng was well aware that the Mu Chenyan she was seeing in front of her had been reborn. Those experiences she had gone through had allowed her to rose from the ashes and be reborn from the fire like a phoenix! Chapter 274 - Miss Su, Your Friend Has Met With an Accident

Chapter 274: Miss Su, Your Friend Has Met With an ident

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What ns do you have for the near future? Su Qingcheng suddenly changed the topic and asked. Mu Chenyan chuckled without saying a word. I suppose you already have a n? Su Qingcheng saw through this meticulous minded woman. It was impossible for her tomit herself to the Yuan family muddleheaded just like that. Everything is still unknown. Im not sure when my mother will wake up, and Im not sure what kind of news will she bring to me. Hence, Yuan Xuan and I are still in an uncertain state... Su Qingcheng was about to speak when the persistent call came through her handphone again. The woman was extremely irked. Picking up the call, her tone was not pleasant. Shao Yibai, arent you a bother? Sorry, is this Miss Su? The other party was not Shao Yibai, but it was the gentle voice of a male. Your friend has been involved in an ident. Only your number has been dialed dozens of times on his mobile phone... Before waiting for the other party to finish, Su Qingchengs face had paled. With trembling lips, she interrupted the other partys words. Hurry, tell me, where are you? ... The man who had called Su Qingcheng was a doctor at Sheng Yu Hospital. The man put down the phone, let out a sigh, and nced at the patient lying in the hospital bed. After leaving some instructions to the nurse, he turned around and went to attend to other matters. Su Qingcheng rushed to Sheng Yu hastily, and Mu Chenyan followed behind. The two women had been busy for the entire day, and they were somewhat tired. However, hearing that Shao Yibai met with a car ident, how could they still be thinking of taking a rest? Yuan Xuan and Tian Qi were waiting in the corridor outside of the neurosurgery ward. Su Qingcheng was quite emotional, and the woman who had always been calm and steady lunged at Tian Qi upon seeing him. Su Qingcheng had never cried out loud before, but now she could not control herself as she held Tian Qi tightly. Dummy, is Shao Yibai dead? The news reported that the car was squashed t... While Mu Chenyan was driving on the road, Su Qingcheng had used her phone to search about the ident on Han Xing Street, which was the area she was living in. The blue Ferrari was sandwiched between two heavy-duty engineering vehicles. Mu Chenyan did not see the picture as she was driving, but the expression on Su Qingchengs face depicted how terrible the scene must have been. It must have been because... I didnt pick up Shao Yibais call, so he went looking for me... Shao Yibais dead... I dont want to live too... Su Qingcheng embraced Tian Qi as she wept. Tian Qi had a confused look as he mumbled, Daisy, dont be upset. Go in and take a look first... Mu Chenyan also felt sad. She had just heard of Shao Yibais ident, and she was now watching Su Qingcheng sobbing her heart out. She felt a lump in her throat, and tears began to fill the corner of her eyes. Yuan Xuan embraced her at the side and whispered, If Im dead, will you cry like this? Yuan Xuan, scoot off... Mu Chenyan sobbed intermittently and could not understand a mans world. His best friend and cousin had died, yet he still had the mood to joke around. Su Qingcheng was dragged into the ward by Tian Qi. The woman was bawling non-stop and refused to enter no matter what. I dont dare to take a look... Im afraid that when I see him... I wouldnt want to live anymore... Tian Qiughed. Hes not dead. If hes dead, would he still be in the ward? He would have been at the mortuary... Su Qingcheng thought that it made sense. Who said that Shao Yibai had died? Had she been crying till she was dazed? To be exact, she was frightened until her mind had gone nk! What an irony that she was a cop, and how embarrassing it was for her to be crying indiscriminately as such! Su Qingcheng wiped her tears away and sniffled, blushing from her irrationality. Yeah... Hes not dead... Recalling those pictures, Su Qingcheng had lost her ability to think. This attested to the saying that being overly concerned would cause more confusion (TN: a Chinese proverb). She pushed the ward door open and saw the man lying on the bed. His entire body was bandaged, looking like a mummy... Shao Yibai? The tears Su Qingcheng had held back surged out once more. She leaned forward and called out his name gently, touching the bandaged hand. He seemed to have suffered serious injuries and was motionless. She had caused such amotion, but he was not aware of any of it on the bed. The doctor from earlier on had said that he had just undergone surgery. Only after that did he had the time to call her... Su Qingcheng lifted her head and looked at Shao Yibai, whose head had been wrapped into the likes of a rice dumpling, and she wept uncontrobly. Shao Yibai! Im sorry... Its all because I was whimsy and didnt pick up your call... You cant die... What will happen to me if youre dead? Youre the only one whom Ive loved in my lifetime. If you die, how am I going to live for the rest of my life... Su Qingchengmented and cried at the same time. Her speech was incoherent, and her thoughts were all jumbled up. It seemed that Shao Yibai had been in aa for a while. No matter how Su Qingcheng wailed, and regardless of how sorrowful she was, there was still no reaction from the person in bed. Mu Chenyan quietly wiped her tears and turned to ask Yuan Xuan, Did he have surgery right after he was brought in? What did the doctor say? Yuan Xuans expression was nd. I received a call about his ident before I reached home. When I arrived, the surgery was already over. Speaking of which, how were the doctors nowadays this bold as to not inform the family members before performing surgery? Mu Chenyan stood on one side and looked suspiciously at Yuan Xuan and Tian Qi. The two appeared overly calm. Only Su Qingcheng who was crying her heart out was really feeling sad. Tian Qi! Mu Chenyan shouted fiercely, causing Tian Qi to jump up in fright. Mistress... Whats... whats the matter? Tian Qi was not good in adjusting to sudden changing circumstances, and he was confused from Mu Chenyans roar. Seeing Mu Chenyans grim face, he was at a loss. Go and call Shao Yibai from the next door! Mu Chenyan ordered abruptly. Tian Qi was perplexed. His mind was filled with the words of Shao Yibai never let the cat out of the bag! However, Tian Qi did not have a clear understanding of the current situation, and he asked softly, How do you know that Brother Shao is next door? Hearing that, Su Qingcheng stopped crying. She stood up, wiped her tears, and asked Tian Qi with a hoarse voice, Whats going on? Did those cheesy plots that often appeared on TV actually happened to her? Su Qingcheng coldly sneered and looked at the mummy on the bed. Was that not Shao Yibai? Daisy, I... I... have no idea too... Tian Qi was flustered. His sturdy figure seemingly shrunk into a ball, and his gaze avoided Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng could not care less. She pushed aside Yuan Xuan and Tian Qi who were in the way and made a dash for the ward next door... Yuan Xuan watched his own woman with interest and asked inly, How did Mistress notice that Shao Yibais ident was a sham? Mu Chenyan snorted and did not seem to want to answer him. The clothes you wore before leaving home in the morning; it was I who helped tie your necktie. I can still remember it clearly. Now it turns out that youre in a different set of clothing when going home at night. You said that you werent home yet when you were informed of Shao Yibais ident. If you knew that Shao Yibai had a car ident, how would you be in the mood of going home to change your clothes? Second, you and Tian Qi seemed to be too calm, especially the fact that Tian Qi did not express sadness but guilt. Tian Qis an obedient child, not a baddie like you guys are! Hence I concluded that this is a set up for Su Qingcheng! Chapter 275 - Could Not Wait to Kick Shao Yibai into a Mummy

Chapter 275: Could Not Wait to Kick Shao Yibai into a Mummy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Mu Chenyan finished her sentence, Tian Qi scratched his head and gave an upright smile. Yuan Xuan the baddie was still disying the bearing of a gentleman. He adjusted his cor, his slender fingers flipping the cor, and traces of smile filled the corner of his eyes. Mistress, dont ce me in the same vein of Shao Yibai. This show was put on because he had coerced us to cooperate. In fact, I could only be considered as an aplice and not the mastermind. I was only pitying the man who could not eveny a finger on his wife. In the other ward, Shao Yibai watched Su Qingcheng rushed over with a murderous aura and was prepared for battle... Su Qingcheng barged into the room and saw Shao Yibai standing there dressed in an outdoor survival camouge suit. The tall and sturdy man had an imposing and impressive appearance. No one who wore a military uniform could be more handsome than Shao Yibai. It was as if he was born to put on this military outfit. When the handsome man saw the murderous intent on Su Qingchengs face, he rubbed his nose and sighed. Just now you were crying your heart out, and now that you see Im all well and fine, shouldnt youe forward and give me a few French kisses? Hmm? Kiss your head! Su Qingcheng was exasperated. She held the bed railings and gave a flying kick. How f*king childish can you be to y this kind of joke! Why dont you just go to hell... Recalling her embarrassing manner, Su Qingcheng could not wait to kick Shao Yibai and turned him into the mummy from earlier on... Shao Yibai was not angry at all. He greeted her attacks and smilingly said at the same time, Wow. What a temper! Didnt you just say that you cant continue to live if Ive died? If you really do kick me to death, dont you have to follow suit? Have mercy on me! Listening to this mans nonsense, Su Qingcheng attacked even fiercer. The empty ward had these two persons fighting intensely, one attacking and another on defense. Daisy, dont forget that it was I who taught you all your martial art moves! After tolerating a few rounds, Shao Yibai finally could not hold back. He grabbed her by her shoulders and pressed her onto the hospital bed with a backhand. Su Qingcheng was so angry that she kicked him with her legs. Shao Yibai went on top of her, restraining her long legs with his... Both of them stared into each other. This pose was too ambiguous, causing Su Qingcheng to be both mad and shy at the same time. She bit her lips, and there was a sh of fluster in her eyes. Daisy... The mans voice was hoarse. His sexy Adams apple quivered up and down, and his eyes was filled with an overwhelming tenderness. Su Qingcheng turned her face away and dared not look him in the eyes... Shao Yibai noticed her bashfulness, and he did not hesitate any more. He lowered his head all of a sudden and bit on her lips... The woman groaned, but before she could even process her mind, the tip of her tongue had entwined with his. This mans kiss was still as domineering as thest time. He did not give her any breathing space but pressed on steadily, taking the lead. Just like always, he would force her to beg him... Youre too forceful, so you need an even more assertive man to subdue you! Shao Yibai remarked. She was only tough in her martial arts, not her heart. His dominance, on the other hand, was like a ferocious beast; once it broke out, there was no holding back. The man kissed the woman until she turned soft and gentle like a pool of water. Su Qingchengs face flushed red, her eyes were filled with embarrassment. At the door. Mu Chenyan, Yuan Xuan, and Tian Qi were dumbfounded... The two who were fighting and unyielding earlier on were now rolling in bed. The change in rhythm was a tad too quick! Mr Shao, may I remind you that this is the hospital. Even if you want to eat meat, you should find a suitable ce. The patients particrly those in the cardiology ward would not be able to ept such stimtion. Yuan Xuan inly said. In his heart, he was thinking that the next time, he really could not use the topic of wife to trigger this fellow. With the looks of it, even if Su Qingcheng refused, he would still surely force himself on her... Chapter 276 - You Havent Eaten for a Long Time. Take It Easy.

Chapter 276: You Havent Eaten for a Long Time. Take It Easy.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mr Shao, may I remind you that this is the hospital. Even if you want to eat meat, you should find a suitable ce. The patients particrly those in the cardiology ward would not be able to ept such stimtion. Yuan Xuans words caused Shao Yibais lips to twitch, and he smiled. Daisy, hang in there. Su Qingchengs face reddened. Hang your head! As she replied, she wanted to flip over to get up. However, Shao Yibais action was quicker than hers. The man leaped down from the bed and stood firmly, pulling Su Qingcheng into his arms in one smooth move. Are you this anxious? Hmm? Shao Yibai held the woman tightly in his arms and exerted force. Su Qingcheng was well aware that she was not apatible opponent of Shao Yibai. In front of so many people, she was angered and annoyed, but she dared not retaliate. Yuan Xuan, Ill leave the rest of the matters to you. Im going to eat meat! Shao Yibai cast Yuan Xuan a this is my day nce. Yuan Xuan shrugged and could not help but smiled, his gentle tone inly said, You havent eaten for a long time. Take it easy. Mu Chenyan saw Su Qingcheng signaling for help with her eyes, and she was somewhat anxious. She could only expose Shao Yibais tricks, but she could not stop him from taking her away. Shao Yibai, you... The moment Mu Chenyan opened her mouth, Yuan Xuan pulled his woman back and warned. Little Chenyan, if you have so much energy to care about other peoples business, then you should go home and exercise with me. When Mu Chenyan heard this mans shameless words, she snorted and inly said, Do you think Im a fool? Do you think that Im not aware that Shao Yibai has a ce in Qingchengs heart? I only want to remind him... While speaking, Mu Chenyan took out a box of little sheaths and tossed it to Su Qingcheng. I just bought it in the afternoon. Ill lend it to you first. Yuan Xuan was speechless. Su Qingcheng was also at a loss for words. Shao Yibai smiled gleefully and caught the box of little sheaths on behalf of Su Qingcheng. He then remarked, Little Chenyan is so considerate and is definitely much morepetent than that fellow Yuan Xuan. Looking at the packaging, he smiled gleefully, Speaking of which, my size is probably bigger than Yuan Xuans. Yuan Xuans eyes were like a vast expanse. Joker! That little thing of yours? Has it even gone through puberty? Shao Yibai gave a snort. Whether its big or small, Daisy knows! Su Qingcheng replied, Shao Yibai, would it cost you your life to not speak? Mu Chenyan also felt helpless regarding the exceedingly childish behavior disyed by the two men. She cast Su Qingcheng an I can only help you this much look as Shao Yibai dragged her away. Su Qingcheng staggered along. She resisted with her small hands, but she could not ovee Shao Yibai. Seeing them leave, Mu Chenyan turned around and said to Yuan Xuan, You better exin to me whats all that about. Shao Yibai went to look for Su Qingcheng and parked his car at the car wash center. The car wash boy said that he had never driven a Ferrari, so he secretly took the car out for a spin and got into an ident. That was what happened. Yuan Xuans tone was indifferent and nd. He had lent that car to Shao Yibai, but now it was wrecked by the car wash boy who had secretly driven it. He had even paid for that boys medical fees. Logically speaking, the one who was down on his luck should be Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan let out a sigh, You guys are really childish. You actually used this matter to scare Qingcheng. Im not surprised by whatever Shao Yibai does. He had an abnormal activity when Aunty was pregnant with him. I heard that he was rushing toe out, so he was delivered when he was only seven months plus. Speaking about giving birth, Yuan Xuan recalled that Mu Chenyan had actually stuffed that kind of ything in her purse, and his gaze turned chilly. Its your turn to give an exnation. On what? Mu Chenyan was puzzled, and her face that was fair like jade had an inexplicable innocence. Yuan Xuans gaze had never averted from this woman, and he put on an Ill see how youre going to bluff through it expression. Mu Chenyan suddenly recalled that box of little sheaths and chuckled bitterly. She could not be telling Yuan Xuan that she had been secretly consuming Marvelon and that it was best to not have a child within the first six months she was off the pills. Nothing. Its just that I have been feeling quite exhausted recently, so I dont want to have a child under this kind of circumstances. What Mu Chenyan had just said was also the truth. Once she was busy, she would not have the time to have proper meals. This kind of physical condition was not the state to have a child. She did not know whether she was being seized by a whim and suddenly thought of having a child of Yuan Xuans and hers. Then stop going to work. Yuan Xuan was a little annoyed, his cold gaze swept across Mu Chenyan. Dont mess around! I didnt say that I dont want. Its just that the timing isnt right. The woman had a fit and was slightly peeved. Mu Chenyan flung her arms and was prepared to leave. Yuan Xuan followed from behind with some resentment. Only Tian Qi was left behind, and he could not make heads or tails of the situation. ... Shao Yibai, where are you taking me? Su Qingcheng was forcefully pushed into the car by Shao Yibai. All her resistance was noted by Shao Yibai as she was like a mudfish burrowing in the mud. Shao Yibai, dont mess around, alright? Su Qingcheng pulled the door handle in the passenger seat and confirmed that it could not be opened. On the other side, Shao Yibai had begun to fasten his seatbelt. The man looked at Su Qingcheng and said in a low voice, Fasten your seatbelt too. I drive fast at night. Su Qingcheng was mad, and she pulled hard at the seatbelt. The car dashed like the wind all the way to the west. Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai was staying at one of the Yuan Familys mansion, but this was not the road to the mansion. Where are we heading to? Stop asking. Youd know once we arrived. Shao Yibai focused his attention on driving. His gaze was deep and alluring. Coupled with his tall nose and sexy lips, he was perfect to the extent that even women would feel inferior. Even though he was this bewitching, this man who had mingled in Capital Citys millions of flowers and had the title of the first male socialite had a ridiculous stubbornness. She was merely an orphan he had saved back then. Qiong Hai Holiday Vi weed this honorable guest in the middle of the night, and everybody hustled and bustled around. The second week Shao Yibai was in Luo Hai, he had discovered this nice ce. There was a hot spring spa, the surrounding was elegant and and there were not many visitors. It was fitting to bring a woman here for a holiday. He had considered bringing her here way earlier, but Su Qingcheng had been lukewarm to him and distancing herself from him. Hence, the matter dragged on and on. If it was not for that ident today, he might not have even been able to catch hold of this woman at all. He would not even get to overhear the secrets in her heart that were spilled out in times of desperation. Recalling the moment when she was crying andmenting that he was the only one whom she had loved in her lifetime, Shao Yibais mood was extremely pleasant. Mr Shao, is it the usual room? The waiter here seemed to be very familiar with Shao Yibai. The moment Shao Yibai entered, the waiter had already prepared his preferred room. Su Qingcheng nced around, and the people around also sized her up. Shao Yibai had visited this ce a couple of times, but it was the first time he had brought a woman along. Her features were beautiful except for the overly nd expression. Compared to the women elsewhere who were full of heavy make-up, this one before their eyes were the likes of a greenhorn. The man dragged Su Qingcheng along the long corridor andpletely ignored her protest. Shao Yibai, can you be rational? Su Qingcheng was a little angered. After Mu Chenyan finished her sentence, Tian Qi scratched his head and gave an upright smile. Yuan Xuan the baddie was still disying the bearing of a gentleman. He adjusted his cor, his slender fingers flipping the cor, and traces of smile filled the corner of his eyes. Mistress, dont ce me in the same vein of Shao Yibai.

He did not give her any breathing space but pressed on steadily, taking the lead. Just like always, he would force her to beg him... Youre too forceful, so you need an even more assertive man to subdue you! Shao Yibai remarked. She was only tough in her martial arts, not her heart. His dominance, on the other hand, was like a ferocious beast; once it broke out, there was no holding back. The man kissed the woman until she turned soft and gentle like a pool of water. Su Qingchengs face flushed red, her eyes were filled with embarrassment. At the door. Mu Chenyan, Yuan Xuan, and Tian Qi were dumbfounded... The two who were fighting and unyielding earlier on were now rolling in bed. The change in rhythm was a tad too quick! Mr Shao, may I remind you that this is the hospital. Even if you want to eat meat, you should find a suitable ce. The patients particrly those in the cardiology ward would not be able to ept such stimtion. Yuan Xuan inly said. In his heart, he was thinking that the next time, he really could not use the topic of wife to trigger this fellow. With the looks of it, even if Su Qingcheng refused, he would still surely force himself on her... No! Shao Yibai said in a righteous manner, and his body pressed onto hers, pushing her against the wall... Chapter 277 - The Moment the Word “Not” Was Out, Her Lips Were Sealed

Chapter 277: The Moment the Word Not Was Out, Her Lips Were Sealed

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng was scorched by Shao Yibais gaze. She blushed, and her heart pounded violently, the sound echoing through the sky... What filled her vision was the Shao Yibais hot body and that pair of crimson eyes of his. You... The moment she opened her mouth, her chin was fiercely pinched by the man. Daisy, do you think you can escape tonight? Su Qingcheng was not a young girl who had no experience. How could she not be aware of what he was going to do at this moment? Nheless, although she had experienced it, she was a little afraid of him this time, and she shook her head with a tremble. The thing is, Ive drunk too much wine with Mu Chenyan tonight. The smell of alcohol on me is too heavy... So? Can we... not... The moment the word not was out, her lips were sealed. Damn! This was the corridor! Su Qingcheng had noticed the hostess passing him the room key to room 1305. That room was still quite a distance from here. Shao Yibai... calm down... Listen to me... We cant... Let me take a breather and exin to you... Su Qingcheng wanted to protest, but her words were incoherent. Even she herself did not know what she was talking about. Her heart resisted, but her body had given the most honest reply. Shao Yibai did not give her another chance to reject. He dragged her along the corridor, kissing and embracing her non-stop... The two eventually made their way to the door of room 1305. When they were short of breath, only then did their lips separated. Shao Yibai looked down and scanned his fingerprint. It looked like he was a usual guest here, and the key card was only for Su Qingchengs use. Su Qingcheng felt that everything went dark, and the light from the corridor was blocked out by the door. Su Qingcheng could not see the room clearly. Therge French windows were covered with white sheer curtains, and the moonlight sneaked through the gap and shone onto the floor bright and clear, like the double white fish on a jade te. Right after that, Shao Yibai lifted her up and pressed her against the wall. A chill spread out from her back, and Su Qingcheng involuntarily arched. It was not known whether it was due to the alcohol, or whether it was really like what people said that after one had tried it once, not only the man would want it, but the woman as well. In particr, this was the man whom she clearly did not detest but had liked for many years. The desire she had for him was in effect, no lesser than him. It was just that she had too many scruples in her heart. Hence, when faced with this kind of situation, even a rational woman would act without a second thought. Id just let myself indulge for this time! Su Qingcheng told herself this. Her body gradually went soft, not resisting intensely anymore. She ced her hands on Shao Yibais waist and bore the pressure from him. Perhaps it was because he sensed her loosening up, Shao Yibai was secretly pleased. The passionate smooches went all the way down, leaving his marks everywhere. He pecked with some force, causing her to quiver again and again... Su Qingcheng moaned, her arms wrapped around his neck as she murmured his name softly, Yibai... Her voice was tender like a kitten that was waiting to be caressed, unlike her usual tough look. An abnormal flush of redness appeared on her face, her breathing was rapid, and the woman, whose heart was beating faster, began to actively respond to his kiss. Her tongue entwined with his, and the soft sound of the clicking of tongues was heard. The man could not bear such stimtion. Hisrge hands, who had been proper, could not be bothered now as he tore open the womans cotton T-shirt. Shao Yibai continued to hold her hands and ced his forehead against hers. Daisy, Im an ordinary man. All these years Ive been restraining myself and have not eaten any flesh. Now that Ive got you, I can finally break my abstinence. Su Qingcheng believed that both man and woman would get addicted to it. Shao Yibai had restrained himself for so many years. Once this kind of emotions erupted, it would be hard to quell... Then why dont you continue to contain it? Su Qingcheng panted. Youre already in my embrace. If I were to hold back, Ill go crazy! As the words faltered, he nted a kiss on her lips and sucked hard at it. He kissed and held her hands at the same time so that she could feel the change of it. A shudder passed through Su Qingchengs body. The desire that had long been suppressed in her heart exploded like a volcano eruption... ... Daisy, are you ready? The man was pressing against her waist and asking her amid the chaffing. Su Qingchengs eyes were shimmering with ayer of mist. She bit hard on her red lips and nodded quietly... The man leaned in... ... The frenzied force caused her to feel giddy. Daisy, do you know? After holding it in for so many years, do you know how passionate * is? Do you know? Do you know? Every time he asked, it would be apanied by a strong force... Again and again... Dizziness! Su Qingcheng felt difficult to breathe in such a rhythm, and she clutched onto the bedsheet. ... Shao Yibai, are you done yet... Su Qingcheng teared up as she gripped the fleshy part of his waist. She was well aware that he had been famished for long and would not end so soon. However, not letting her sleep for the entire night was something that even an iron body could not bear! Onest time! Darling, this will really be thest time... Su Qingchengs final consciousness was seeing the sky about to light up. The French window on the right side of the bed had white sheer curtains hanging on it. Leading out from the window was arge open-air hot spring bath. ... Mu Chenyan had also hardly slept the whole night. She was rushing to write the article, reporting about the case from themon peoples perspective. However, little did she expect that the next day her phone would ring right away after sending her article over to the news reporting department. Little Mu, how can we publish such an article? Chief Editor Lius voice sounded calm. Zhang Xin, who was standing by the side, heard this and sighed in his heart. If it were him, he would probably have been chewed out! Chief Editor Liu, all that Ive written is the truth. I didnt distort any of it. Moreover, Ive only mentioned about the current state of the Sun family and didnt talk about anything else. Mu Chenyan was neither servile nor overbearing, and she continued to maintain the necessary politeness. Even if thats the case, you know that in the background of this case, it also involves... Chief Editor Liu could not continue his words, but Mu Chenyan understood him. Its exactly because of that that in ordance with the integrity of the journalism profession, we have to rify the matter and give the people justice. Theyre not a brawling mob, but they were just trying to protect their rights. Mu Chenyans tone was slightly anxious. This was the first time Zhang Xin saw the usually good-tempered and cultured Mu Chenyan having an abnormal expression. I dont care! Whoever wants to report this case, they can just report it! The higher-ups have ordered to forbid the reporting of it, yet you actually followed in secret... Chief Editor Liu, if we were to be choosy when reporting cases, then sending Zhang Xin and me over here for the establishing of this department back then would have been meaningless, wouldnt it? Weve initially wanted to use this way to provide the right answers and guidance to public opinion. Now that Sun Xus case has been causing an uproar in society, why cant we report about it up front? The strong and fair argument put forth by Mu Chenyan caused Chief Editor Liu to lose his ground on the other side of the phone. After thinking about it, he let out a sigh and said, Little Mu, youre still young. Some matters are not as simple as you think it is. Do you know that the power behind that Financial Secretary, Nie Chao... Is the Yuan Family. I know. Mu Chenyan spoke in a light and casual manner. ... On the other side, Yuan Xuan had juste out from the Board of Directors meeting. Yan Jun went up to him and said while walking, Young Master, everything you asked for has been prepared. Yuan Xuan took the file from Yan Jun and skimmed through it. A smile emerged at the corner of his lips. The elegant man had a hidden murderous aura on him as his maic voice inly sounded, Disseminate these. Yan Jun nodded. Bring Mistress over for lunch. She has been worn out recently and has grown thinner. If this situation were to persist, how are we going to have little kids? Chapter 278 - The Manner That Mr Yuan Is In, Is It a Belated Marriage Proposal?

Chapter 278: The Manner That Mr Yuan Is In, Is It a Bted Marriage Proposal?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan received Yan Juns call saying that he was waiting for her at the entrance of her unit. Mu Chenyans curiosity was aroused. It was afternoon now. What trick was that man ying again? Yan Jun saw Mu Chenyaning out and noted the light makeup on her. Hemented in his heart that Mistress was naturally born with good features. Even with such a simple makeup, her charm could bewitch anyone in a second, and she really stood out from the crowd. Mu Chenyan had on her a white cotton T-shirt and long denim braces skirt with a pair of white shoes. Her legs were lean and straight, and her back was upright. Her high ponytail swayed about, adding a sense of youthfulness. She was not in the socialite dressing she used to be, and this made peoples eyes light up. Yan Jun waved at Mu Chenyan. Mistress, over here! Mu Chenyan nced about. She did not want her colleagues to see her being picked up in a Bentley. Mistress, Young Master has asked me to pick you up for lunch. Getting into the car, Yan Jun saw that Mu Chenyan had fastened her seatbelt and smilingly said. Yuan Xuan was very mindful. Presumably, it was because yesterday she had remarked that she was not eating well, hence this man came up with such an idea. The bellyful of exasperation she was filled with from the morning had made Mu Chenyan lost her appetite, hence she just let Yuan Xuan did whatever he wanted. ... Yuan Xuan made reservations in a restaurant that served Hong Kong cuisine. The food here had a lighter taste, and the environment was elegant. On the water stage in the corner of the restaurant, the saxophonist was ying a loving and melodious tune, while soft lights shone on the corner of the restaurant. This was a couple-seat. The table was draped with a light yellow tablecloth, and there was a bouquet of roses on it. The unopened bottle of wine was shimmering with a captivating reflection of light... Yuan Xuan seemed to have waited for some time. His forehead leaned against his hand, showing off his slender and fair fingers with its distinct joints. His head was lowered and his eyes shut. Mu Chenyan approached him, but her heart was beating fast. Having known him for more than ten years, she had never received any flowers from him. Is the bouquet of mboyant roses for her? Why are you still standing there? Did Mistress think that I was waiting for someone else? Yuan Xuan looked up and saw Mu Chenyaning closer and noted the thoughts she had, which was written all over her face. He took the bouquet of roses, smelled it, and used an apologetic tone. Mistress wouldnt mind this bouquet of roses havinge toote, would you? Mu Chenyan hated that he could see through everything yet still maintained the bearing of a gentleman, spouting those mild but coquettish words. However, she also could not refuse such a 360-degree, handsome-looking man being romantic for no particr reason. The manner that Mr Yuan is in, is it a bted marriage proposal? She pulled out the chair and took her seat. epting the flowers from Yuan Xuans hands, the corner of Mu Chenyans lips raised as she smiled ironically. What she had said was not wrong. In fact, back then, he had not proposed to her but had only mentioned it to Mu Feng. She had felt ecstatic and was preparing to be his Mistress. Even the various wedding decorations were all nned and done by her. What Mistress said really makes me feel ashamed. If this were a real proposal, with such a small ostentatious, I think Mistress wont say yes. While speaking, Yuan Xuan smiled and gestured to the waiter by the side to bring the wine opener. Although there was no proposal and no grand wedding, that did not change her fate of being pressed down by him every night. What was the point in thinking of a marriage proposal? Mu Chenyan blushed slightly. Taking the winess that Yuan Xuan had passed to her, she clinked her ss against his. Shouldnt Mistress say something? Yuan Xuan paused as his lips touched the ss. Mu Chenyans face reddened and had no idea where Yuan Xuan was heading. Ive been waiting on Mistress to sleep day and night. There may not have been anymendable oue but at least there was the effort. Mistress should at least give an acknowledgment? Yuan Xuan said with a straight face as if the one who had been at a disadvantage every night was him. Mu Chenyan was speechless and gave him a cold snort. Huh! Yuan Xuan was not irked, and he continued with his gentle and modest bearing. He lowered his voice, and his maic voice sounded. Looks like Ive not managed to satisfy Little Chenyan? How about Hubby tries again tonight? His eyes were filled with a tantalizing fire with a sinister aura, causing Mu Chenyan to be short of breath. Biting on her lips, she cursed under her breath, Youre always spouting nonsense. Are we still going to eat or not? Initially, her appetite was not good on her way here. Now that she was amused by him, her mood had greatly improved. What Mistress said is exactly right. Lets feast. The mans bearing was elegant as he motioned to the waiter. Yuan Xuan had ordered all the restaurants specialty dishes. In just a while, a dozen dishes were ced in front of Mu Chenyan, and she was dumbfounded. Fortunately, the portion of Hong Kong dishes was not huge, but even so she would not be able to finish all of them! Mistress can try a little of everything. We can have them packed up and brought back if Mistress cant finish. Ah Fu also likes the food here. As he spoke, Yuan Xuan began to peel the shrimp shell, dip the shrimp into the sauce, and give it to Mu Chenyan. The food tasted good and the texture was smooth. Mu Chenyan felt that they were sumptuous, and as she ate, she was also sneaking a peek at Yuan Xuan. He was not eating much, and the expression revealed through his eyes was the kind of tender affection he had when feeding Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet! He was caring for her like a cat! After lunch, Mu Chenyan felt that she had eaten too much. Her belly bulged, her stomach was warm, and her heart did not feel that downcast anymore. She was not allowed to publish the article, but she would coax and pester when she returned and think of another way. Little Chenyan, whats bothering you? Yuan Xuan asked all of a sudden. During the entire time, she was eating absentmindedly, not as aggressive as Little Ginger Fur Ball would. Nothing. Just a tiny issue at work. Mu Chenyans expression changed. She did not know whether she should tell Yuan Xuan about it. The case she was following this time might implicate Yuan Tangzhong. That was his second uncle after all. Although for the time being, Yuan Tangzhong was not directly connected to it but judging by the circumstance, if the Yuan Family had not used force, it was impossible that there would be pressureing from various parties. Yuan Xuan smiled. Mistress has ced too much importance on your work. Mistress needs to get enough rest too, striking a proper bnce between work and rest. Theres always a turning point in everything. If you need my help... No, thanks. Mu Chenyan hurriedly cut him short. If she were to involve him in all her affairs, what would her colleagues thought of her? Then Ill have Yan Jun send you back. Yuan Xuans tone was nd. Taking the flower in one hand and holding the womans waist in another, he whispered, Shao Yibai discovered a good ce to go to. He took Miss Su there to experience it and had great sentiments upon returning. Should we go and give it a try too after your menstruation is over? Mu Chenyan had no idea where did Shao Yibai took Su Qingcheng to, but looking at Yuan Xuans face, she could guess that that Young Master from Capital City must have gotten his fill and boasted about it. No wonder Su Qingcheng applied for sick leave this morning! Huh! Your brain is just filled with lust... Mu Chenyan gritted her teeth as she looked at the man before her smirking, and she felt a little annoyed... After he had sent Mu Chenyan off, Yuan Xuan sat in his own Koenigsegg. This high-performance Koenigsegg sports car had been with him for many years. Picking up the phone, Yuan Xuan dialed a number. On the other side, Yan Jun watched Mistress entering the office building hastily. ... When Zhang Xin noticed that Mu Chenyan was back and that there was a bouquet of roses with her, he was despondent. The young fellow dared not ask questions but only nced at Mu Chenyan from the corner of his eyes as he sighed in his heart. How could this kind of woman have no pursuers? He had been thinking too naively. If he could perceive her beauty, the others were not blind too. Half an hourter, Mu Chenyans phone rang. Mu Chenyan frowned seeing Chief Editor Lius name. It was fine that he did not allow the article to be published, but why was he harassing her endlessly? Chief Editor Liu? Mu Chenyan tried her best to keep a calm tone. Little Mu, that article of yours can be published in thete afternoon. Quickly edit the article and see if the content needs any more amendment. Chapter 279 - Mistress, Miss Zhao Is Here

Chapter 279: Mistress, Miss Zhao Is Here

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Chief Editor Lius was so courteous that Mu Chenyan was confused. Chief Editor Liu, didnt you say that the article cant be published... Little Mu, after giving it some thoughts, I feel that what youve said makes perfect sense. The professional ethics of a reporter is not to be afraid of those in power and to expose the truth. Whats more, what youve written is from the perspective of the victim, and you didnt distort the facts, so why cant it be published? Chief Editor Liu sounded sonorous, which was a total opposite from how he spoke this morning. Mu Chenyan could not make heads or tails of the situation for a moment. Since thats what youve said, then Ill just publish it. There isnt any part that needs amendment. Ive already revised it many times yesterday. Hanging up the call, Mu Chenyan was still uncertain. Little did she expect after half an hour her article was published, it would stir up a hugemotion on the Inte! There were overwhelmingmentsing from various parties. Through Mu Chenyans article, the people learned about the tragic death of the leader of the fight with the armed forces a few days ago and how woeful the family situation was. The truth behind the case was suddenly a hot topic. At the same time, the organization department and the Commission for Discipline Inspection received reports from numerous informants. The two departments email inboxes were spammed with evidence of Nie Chao breaking thew and scandalous photos of his messy nightlife. There were even a few photos showing Sun Xu working as a waiter at the scene. This time, the Commission for Discipline Inspection was in chaos! On the other side, Xiao Jiang went to Leles grannys house to retrieve the reading pen. After the technology department made aparison, they confirmed that the recording was Nie Chao talking about the military pensions with a few colleagues in the club. Public opinion changed in an instance. Initially, the case was about to be buried, and everything would be peaceful after another two days. However, with the emergence of a report, a document, and a recording now, Nie Chao was unable to justify himself! In the days that followed, every department was bustling about. Sun Xus murderer was captured in City A, and it was said that the arrest had happened in a certain celebritys music concert... Mu Chenyan watched the instant reversal of the plot and was confused. Su Qingcheng had been busy with the case after returning, and it was only after the murderer was convicted that she could finally take a break. Chenyan, wanna go have some skewers tonight? Su Qingcheng came to invite Mu Chenyan. Her article was impressive, it had been a turning point for the case. At the same time, all her spections were verified, and they were able to acquire that crucial recording pen. Nie Chao was prosecuted by the justice department, and Su Qingcheng felt that she should treat Mu Chenyan to a meal. Mu Chenyan looked at her watch and saw that it was time to get off work. In her heart, she was also craving for those barbeque skewers and beer. Lets go. Your treat! Mu Chenyan looked at Su Qingchengs neck under the scarf. Seeing the hickeys that had not disappeared even after a few days, she gave her a mischievous smirk. Her phone rang just at that opportune moment. Chenyan, are you free? Wen Yas voice sounded frail. Wen Ya, shouldnt you be discharged from the hospital already? Mu Chenyan was a little embarrassed. Since Wen Yas incident, she had only gone to the hospital once due to her hectic schedule. Yes. Wen Ya hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, Are you free toe and pick me up? Hearing that, Mu Chenyan immediately answered, Wait for me. Im already off work. Ill head over there now. When Su Qingcheng heard that Mu Chenyan had other ns, she waved her hands to bid goodbye. ... Sheng Yu Hospital. Wen Yas private duty nurse had packed her things for her. The woman who had been lying on the hospital bed had a paleplexion, her leg was still wrapped in a cast. She sat in the wheelchair and stared at Mu Chenyan. When Mu Chenyan rushed over and saw Wen Yas pitiful look, she was greatly saddened. She was discharged from the hospital, but Yuan Zhe could not even fulfill his duty as a husband. Xue Meiwei had said that she would send a maid over, but after waiting for a long time, no one appeared, hence Wen Ya could only call Mu Chenyan to ask for her help. How are you feeling? Mu Chenyan helped her into the passenger seat and kept the wheelchair in the trunk. Im alright, except that I cant go out for some time. The saying goes that it takes about a hundred days for bones and muscles to heal. Id still have to rest even after the cast is removed. Wen Yas tone was in, but her eyes were filled with grievances. The Yuan Familys second son had treated this woman such indifferently. Mu Chenyan felt dejected and did not know what to talk about. The car entered the Yuan Family Mansion, and in front of Peace Mansion was the ck Maybach that Yuan Zhe often drove. It turned out that Yuan Zhe was at home! Mu Chenyan got down and called for the maids toe help move Wen Yas stuff. When Xue Meiwei came out and saw Mu Chenyan, her expression turned unsightly. She reprimanded Wen Ya in a low voice, Why didnt you call home? If the outsiders knew that Chenyan was the one who had brought you back, they might think that were abusing you... I called home, but no one picked up. Wen Ya had indeed called thendline, but not a maid was around to answer the call. Your father had an argument with Yuan Zhe, and the maids were trying to dissuade them, so how would they hear it? Xue Meiweis tone was impatient. She looked at the busy Mu Chenyan and was disgruntled. If it wasnt for this mistress of Yuan Xuan, how would there be such trouble, and how would Zhe Zhe be beaten by your father? Hearing that, Wen Yas heart skipped a beat. She looked at Mu Chenyan, not knowing what had happened. Seeing that everything had been moved out from her car, Mu Chenyan smilingly said to Xue Meiwei, Second Aunt, my task here is done. Wen Ya needs some rest, so Ille and see her in a few days time. Xue Meiwei could hardly keep her cool. Seeing Mu Chenyans calm andposed look, she coldly sneered. Chenyan seems quite busy, so theres no need for you to concern yourself of Wen Yas situation. However, Second Uncle would really have to treat you to a feast. Have mercy on us, the great reporter Mu! Mu Chenyan was stunned by her remark. Her rtionship with Xue Meiwei had never been hostile. She was an elder, and even if she was to make some sarcasticments, Mu Chenyan could never give tit for tat and retort. She felt upset, but she could only suppress her anger. Holding it in, another thought came to her mind. Xue Meiwei had mentioned her upation, hence it probably had something to with Nie Chaos case that was being reported in the news these few days. The woman smiled. What does Second Aunt mean? Ive always been respectful of Second Uncle and have not offended him. Whats more, as a reporter, the people and matters that I report have to do with those who abused and broke thew. This has nothing to do with Second Uncle. I wonder why did Second Aunt suddenly make such a statement? Mu Chenyan spoke decently, and this put Xue Meiwei in an ufortable position instead. Xue Meiwei did not care about Mu Chenyan but led the maids to move Wen Yas stuff inside. She then said, If youre thinking of bing a good wife and working in collusion to take down the Yuan Familys second son, youre still a long way off! Wen Ya did not quite understand her mother-inws words, and she felt embarrassed as it was she who had asked Mu Chenyan toe over. Chenyan, Mother probably didnt mean anything bad. When Ive recovered, Ille and look for you to thank you. When Xue Meiwei saw that Wen Ya was still conversing with Mu Chenyan, her expression turned cold. Wen Ya, arent youing in yet? Do you intend to turn your back against your family and help an outsider? Wen Yasplexion paled in an instance. She turned her wheelchair around and looked back to express her apologies to Mu Chenyan as she entered Peace Mansion. Although Mu Chenyan felt aggrieved, she did not tear up over such a petty matter. Sending Wen Ya off with her gaze, she then turned around and drove her car to the garage. The moment she arrived at Hibiscus Garden, Ah Fu greeted her. Her face had an unnatural expression as she whispered, Mistress, Miss Zhao is here! Shes been waiting for some time. Chapter 280 - Run Away? Yuan Xuan Heard Her Actually Using That Word!

Chapter 280: Run Away? Yuan Xuan Heard Her Actually Using That Word!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Miss Zhao that Ah Fu was referring to was obviously Zhao Ruoxin. Mu Chenyan passed her backpack to Ah Fu to help her bring it upstairs. She saw that the influential person was really sitting there on the sofa in the hall. Her legs were crossed while there was an arrogant smile on the corners of her lips, just like that time when Mu Chenyan saw her talking to Xia Tao in the coffee shop. Shu Qinger stopped hiding in front of Mu Chenyan ever since she revealed the exact details to her because covering up would be unnecessary. She was the real Shu Qinger whenever Yuan Xuan was absent. Do you really have so much spare time toe here? If youre looking for me, forgive me for being unable to apany you! Mu Chenyan did not beat around the bush. She bluntly expressed that she did not wee her. Mu Chenyans manner was cold. She had realized long ago not to befriend Shu Qinger because she knew about her animosity towards her. Moreover, since the other party was also lusting after her husband, it was unnecessary to be friendly towards her. Thus, she simply allowed her natural instincts to appear. Shu Qinger sneered when she saw that Mu Chenyans impatient face. She tly said, I didnte here looking for you! Im waiting for Brother Xuan because I have something very important to tell him! As she spoke, Shu Qinger paused and waited for Mu Chenyans response. Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows while looking rather annoyed and scornful. She sternly red at Shu Qinger but remained silent. Qinger looked somewhat disappointed because she had initially assumed that Mu Chenyan would panic. She continued, I came to thank him. When he previously said that he was going to send me to Italy, I argued with him because I was unwilling to go. Now, however, hes promised to contact a local gallery and hes even invested several million for me. The stern look on Mu Chenyans face remained. Once Mr Shao leaves after autumn, Brother Xuan has also promised to give me the mansion that hes currently staying in. How could I not thank him? Shu Qinger joyfullyughed after she had finished speaking. She did note here to show her gratitude but she was clearly here to disy her strength and show off instead. She had originally heard some depressing news from Xue Meiwei only to return and obtained this information as well. Mu Chenyans heart was momentarily stifled with mncholy. Yuan Xuan had previously told her that he wanted to send Qinger away. However, it looked like the situation had changed when she heard Qinger saying these things now. It was getting increasingly difficult for her to understand Yuan Xuan. On one hand, he acted indifferently towards Qinger when he was in front of her, but on the other hand he was secretly devoted to her. The matter that involved him contacting the art gallery and paying several millions presumably happened because Qinger had acted like a spoiled child. Was he really willing to pay several millions? When she recalled how Yuan Xuan had discarded the suit in disgust that day, it was possible that he was intentionally doing this for her to see. That mansion was also nearby the Yuan Family Mansion. When he allowed Shu Qinger to live in that mansion, was he actually nning to live a luxurious life with multiple wives? Mu Chenyans heart was filled with annoyance at Shu Qingers blunt attitude. Her stern face waspletely devoid of even a hint of emotion when she said, In the future, if youre looking for Yuan Xuan because you have some business with him, make a phone call or just call him over to Upper Mansion. You dont have toe to Hibiscus Garden! Frankly, I dont like looking at you! I hate how youre openly lusting after Yuan Xuan even more! Shu Qingers expression changed and became terribly contorted when she heard this. Was Mu Chenyan already throwing a tantrum although she had yet to evenunch her attack? This sequence was wrong! ording to Shu Qingers impression, Mu Chenyan was previously a simple-minded girl. When did she be a sharp-tongued person to verbally attack others? When she interacted with Mu Chenyan in the past, she merely thought of her as a naive woman who only knew how to pester Yuan Xuan and trail him. In other words, she tiresomely coaxed Yuan Xuan to gain his favor. Later, she discovered that Yuan Xuan actually liked Mu Chenyan very much although he spoke sarcastically to her on the surface. The heart of this man who always thought carefully was already inclined towards Mu Chenyan long ago. Shu Qinger prepared to retaliate upon realizing that her territory trespassed. However, she discovered that she was powerless because Yuan Xuan had already decided to marry Mu Chenyan! Thus, Qinger lost her mind and did numerous insane things... Mu Chenyan, youre so shameful! Me, lusting after Yuan Xuan? He was originally supposed to be mine, okay? You stole the life that I was meant to have! Before you came and lived with the Yuan Family, the person who spent every day with him was me! If you hadnt returned from Xi Fan and desperately pestered Yuan Xuan while I was abroad, do you think that you would be living in Hibiscus Garden today? Mu Chenyan saw that Qinger was behaving arrogantly simply because she was Yuan Xuans childhood sweetheart. She indifferently said, I know that you care about the role of being the main woman in Hibiscus Garden. You can take it anytime if you like because I dont care about it as much as youd imagine! While she spoke, Mu Chenyan saw that Shu Qinger was extremely doubtful. She continued, I never nned to live my entire life here while growing old with Yuan Xuan. Hence, I dont necessarily care about your concerns! However, my mother is the only remaining member of the Mu Family and shes still under Yuan Xuans control while my brothers whereabouts are unknown. Thus, I simply have no choice! I want to remind you that before I leave the Yuan Family, you still have to acknowledge my status as Mrs Yuan! Although youre rushing to take my ce, you would have to wait for me to leave first. Therefore, you dont have to frantically run over and threaten me right in front of my face! Mu Chenyans words had rendered Qinger speechless after she criticized her. After staring nkly, she was just about to rise up in revolt to refute her before her expression suddenly changed in an instant. She gently said, Brother Xuan, youve returned! Yuan Xuan had one foot outside the door and another foot inside. He had clearly heard the womans words... Mu Chenyan grew slightly apprehensive when her eyes met Yuan Xuans gaze. The things that she had said earlier were not entirely true but she saw that the man had a rather chilly look on his pale face... ... The guilty woman became extremely obedient at night. After her shower, she sat on the bed and stared nkly. Yuan Xuan had not lost his temper at all. On the contrary, he politely and considerately chased Shu Qinger away. He did not say much to her while they were eating and simply went upstairs to feed Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet after they were done with their meal. Mu Chenyan sat on the bed and thought to herself. On one hand, she felt rather guilty because of what she had said. Her words were rather severe because she was certainly upset at Qinger at that time. If she really did not care about Yuan Xuan at all, how could she be stupid enough to fight with someone like Shu Qinger? On the other hand, this was her current situation. However, she was unwilling to live her entire life filled with doubts. If the rtionship between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family was verifiedter, Mu Chenyan could not imagine how things would conclude between her and Yuan Xuan. While her thoughts were still in disorder, Yuan Xuan came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his body. The water droplets dripped off his hair and rolled down his abdomen. His figure was unbelievably perfect. Although she had experienced physical intimacy with him numerous times, Mu Chenyan still could not tear her eyes away from his body. It did not matter that this was pointless. After all, she might as well get a good look because she would not necessarily get to see it again next time. Mu Chenyan confidently stared because her gaze could not depart from his perfect torso. Yuan Xuan was originally filled with rage but when he saw that Mu Chenyan was currently staring at him like a love-struck fool, he wondered if she really found him that attractive. So youve always had this thought! Yuan Xuans tone finally changed one night. It was no longer intentionally modest and gentle anymore. On the contrary, mes secretly rushed through his eyes while his voice was rather stifled and resentful. Mu Chenyan consciously supported her body with her hands when she saw his questioning gaze while his dark figure approached her. She briefly retreated but could not avoid his dominance... No... Its not... That... I wasnt going to run away... She knew that she was at fault but the mans breath had also thrown her off. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt confused when she was pressed down underneath Yuan Xuans body. She kept rambling because she had no clue about what she wanted to express. Run away? Yuan Xuan heard her actually using that word! Chapter 281 - Don’t Be Afraid, Baby. I’m Giving You a Whole New Experience

Chapter 281: Dont Be Afraid, Baby. Im Giving You a Whole New Experience

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Numerous days filled with warm affection could not influence a cold-hearted person like her. Run away to where? Yuan Xuans voice was hoarse. Hisrge hands lifted her chin while his eyes were tinged with rage. Do you dislike your status as Mrs Yuan so much? Were you prepared to submissively hand it over to someone else anytime? Mu Chenyan was suddenly out of breath. She pressed against his chest to prevent him from approaching. She persistently wanted to turn her little face toward one side but he was controlling her lower jaw... Answer me! I dont know! Youre being so stubborn! Yuan Xuan was in a bad mood. This is normal! Mu Chenyan was unwilling to give in either. They took turns one sentence at a time until Yuan Xuans pent-up anger reached the top of his head. Ill have to properly discipline you and your sharp tongue! As he spoke, the man violently kissed and suppressed her in an invasive manner. Mmm... Mu Chenyan reached her hand out to push him away. She resisted him while simultaneously avoiding him. These actions provoked Yuan Xuan. However, he never nned to force her. After all, his heart could not wait to love her. He had merely said those things in the spur of the moment. The man felt as though his heart was stifled with worries that she would do as she said. His mind was ridden with the fear that she would be ready to leave anytime. Youre mine! Youll always be mine! Yuan Xuans voice was demanding yet deste. Mu Chenyan could not stop her entire body from briefly trembling when she heard the emotions that were hidden behind the mans tone. Her lips were already enduring it as he proceeded with his next instance of recklessness. She had unintentionally provoked him but it was difficult for her to get out of this situation now. She was unwilling to admit that she was wrong. However, she would only suffer if this went on... During her moment of hesitation, Yuan Xuan rubbed her chin with his fingers. Her breathing became uneven as he moved upward and slid past her lips. Mu Chenyan, Im going to leave a mark on you that can never be erased so that youll always remember how I made you feel! Yuan Xuan suddenly became extremely sensitive. He abruptly exerted more force with hisrge hands before he tore off the thin, silk spaghetti strap nightgown on her body... When she noticed that he was being rough, Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and firmly bit his finger. She only let go when she saw him frowning. The corners of the womans lips provocatively curled up before she said, Does it hurt? Ill leave my mark on you first! Vixen, do you know that youre ying with fire? His Adams apple bobbed and he hoarsely panted while he spoke in a hoarse voice. Mu Chenyan stayed silent but a provocative look seeped through her gaze. Her hands tightly gripped the sheets while she spared no effort in controlling the sensations inside her body. He could see that her eyebrows were closely furrowed because she was controlling herself. Yuan Xuans heart burned more intensely. This woman was the only person who could make him feel so carefree and unbridled. He would lose all control every time he touched her. He became greedier as he sucked on the sweetness in her mouth. His anger was substituted with arousal... Mu Chenyan quietly groaned in pain while her body unconsciously arched towards him. Chills ran down her smooth back when she felt him touching her sensitive skin. She shuddered against his palm for some time... Yuan Xuans pupils werepletely filled with mes of lust because he could not resist her allure... Unwilling to wait another moment, he tightly hugged her waist before their bodies were closely pressed together at the same time when he drew her in. Little Chenyan! Remember this feeling... His deep and husky voice echoed beside Mu Chenyans ear. His breathing was uneven and hot. How could you? How could you leave me? The mans voice sounded unusual. It seemed to wander as he repeatedly asked, Would you actually do that? Tell me! Tell me... Mu Chenyans lips were tightly sealed. She endured his unreasonable force as he roughly panted while he interrogated her... The man was rotten to the core. He saw that she remained silent while her lips turned red after they were vited. However, when she inhaled some fresh air, he suddenly lowered his head and covered her lips! The man only stopped muchter. He raised his head before he ripped her nightgown that had been thrown aside. He bound both of her hands before he used a piece of fabric to cover her eyes at the same time. Huh? Yuan Xuan, you... What are you doing... Her surroundings suddenly descended into darkness. Mu Chenyan panicked when he restrained her hands. Dont be afraid, baby. Im giving you a whole new experience! ... This was a freaking whole new experience indeed! He was merely using his body to subdue her! Mu Chenyan could not see her surroundings, and her hands were restricted. She could only sense his jerking motions and the shameful words that he spoke beside her ears... Little Chenyan gritted her teeth while soft moans escaped her throat. However, the aroused man could not stop. ... The entire event stopped after it had gone on for an unknown length of time. Mu Chenyan felt as though her entire bodys bones had been dismantled... Yuan Xuan... At the end, the woman begged, Let me go... ... After the deed was done, Yuan Xuan tightly embraced his wife and quietly murmured beside her ear, Little Chenyan, you dont know how long Ive loved you! Mu Chenyans body trembled before her muscles slowly rxed. She had finally broken free from the repeated periods of stiffness. The word love was rarely mentioned between them. For some reason, an impulse to cry stirred in Mu Chenyans heart after Yuan Xuan had finished speaking. She deeply buried her head in the crook of the mans arm while her body uncontrobly trembled... Little Chenyan, I dont love you any less than you love me! I wont allow you to talk about leaving... Yuan Xuan was unusually perceptual tonight. This was not the first time Mu Chenyans words had hurt him. However, he knew that Mu Chenyan had misunderstood him numerous times as well because he was neither good with words nor was he good at exining things. Yuan Xuan firmly embraced the woman in his arms. He wanted to use his bodynguage to tell her that he was actually greatly affected by every single one of her words and actions. Mu Chenyan nodded in his embrace. When she recalled the things that she had said, she realized that she had certainly gone a bit too far. If she did not care about Yuan Xuan, would she have gotten carried away and allowed Shu Qinger to annoy her? Im sorry, Brother Xuan... Mu Chenyan firmly bit her lip before she buried her face in the crook of his arm again. ... The old mansion at Peace Mansion Completely exhausted, Wen Ya watched as her husband disentangled himself from her body before he turned around and got off the bed. He was naked and his hair was messy when he walked to the balcony to smoke. There were faint bruises on Yuan Zhes face when he returned from Yuan Tangzhongs house. The maid said that Old Master had lost his temper in the afternoon and struck Eldest Young Master. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order to Capital City was held up because Yuan Zhe was involved in Nie Chaos case. Thus, it would be surprising if he did not hit him! At that time, Wen Ya had realized that the situation might have been somewhat unfavorable. Yuan Zhe would use her to vent his anger every time he was in a bad mood. He would either hit or scold her. Moreover, there was another type of abuse now. The man who had experienced tasting her also liked to vent his anger through domination... This was slightly inconvenient because one of Wen Yas legs was in a cast. However, this did not affect the mans spirits. Yuan Zhe used his manly strength to torment her until she was half dead! Since there had never been any love for her in his heart, this activity was pure physical interaction. However, this was a form of mental torture to Wen Ya. Yuan Zhe finished smoking and returned seeing his wife lying in bed. Her face was expressionless, the flushes on her body had faded and she seemed to be shrouded by an icyyer. He was filled with anger. He came forward and squeezed Wen Yas chin. His tone sounded rather mean when he said, Why did you let Mu Chenyan bring you home in the afternoon? Wen Ya reacted very indifferently. No matter what she said, this man would still regard everything as a challenge. Yuan Zhe, your father bullied you but you were too afraid to retaliate. Hence, youve wholeheartedly decided that you wont rest until youve killed me, right? Wen Yas smile was extremely sarastic yet miserable. This is just like when you were forced to marry me in the beginning! Chapter 282 - One Person’s Life or Death Could Affect the Safety of Everyone Around Them

Chapter 282: One Persons Life or Death Could Affect the Safety of Everyone Around Them

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Zhe saw Wen Yas extremely condescending little face, his own tone became terribly cold as he asked, What do you know? Wen Ya sneered before she said, I dont think that Id understand if this had only happened once or twice. However, do you really think that I wouldnt get it after such a long time? All the members of the Yuan Family are devils! Annoyed, Yuan Zhe flung the cigarette butt out of his hand. His body was naked when he walked towards the front of the bed and red at Wen Ya with a vicious gaze. Who was giving in to their lust underneath the devils body earlier? Hmm? Wen Ya bitterly turned her face away and shut her eyes. She did not want to see this mans face. Yuan Zhe refused to let her have her way. He suddenly grabbed her by the chin and turned her face towards him as a sinister smile appeared on his face. Youre scared of admitting that Ive subdued your body despite your hatred and resentment for me, right? The tears in the corners of Wen Yas eyes rolled down her cheeks before she revealed her tant hatred for him. Yuan Zhe, you scold and hit me simply because of the unfairness that fills your heart. You cant surpass Yuan Xuan in the outside world but youre tormented by your father at home. Youre aplete coward. Aside from venting your anger on me, what else can you do? Burning rage filled Yuan Zhes heart when he heard this and noticed that the woman had actually struck many of his sore spots. He increased the force in his hand, hurting Wen Ya until she quietly groaned and used her little hand to push him away. You devil! Wen Ya cursed. Yuan Zhe sneered, Youre right, Im a devil. Im going to make you realize tonight that a real demon wont be as merciful as I was before! Yuan Zhe left after he said that. Momentster, he returned from the study room carrying a box. Wen Ya had no idea what Yuan Zhe was doing. Her gaze was rather fearful when she looked at this man who seemed to had lost his mind. It took her a while to realize that the box actually contained Yuan Zhes secret stash of items! Wen Ya was aware that Yuan Zhe perversely fooled around outside. However, she did not know that Yuan Zhe actually possessed these specialized items at home. The womans entire body trembled. Moreover, she was too afraid to make any sudden movements because of the cast on her leg. She fearfully nced at Yuan Zhe while her voice quivered as she asked, What are you trying to do? A bloodthirsty smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Zhes face when he noticed that Wen Ya was terrified and panic-stricken. Mrs Yuan, you havent tried this yet, huh? I purposely prepared it for you! Wen Ya suddenly realized that this man had prepared these things when she was in the hospital while he was waiting for her to be discharged. They had ignored this matter all this while for so many years. Since this man had previously gotten a taste of such a pleasant experience, perhaps he would repeatedly use this method to torment her in the future. No... Get lost! Wen Yas voice changed from fear when she saw those terrifying torture instruments... ... Mu Chenyan was doted on by Yuan Xuan throughout the entire night. She was unaware that Wen Ya was also experiencing something simr in Peace Mansion but she was being tortured throughout the night instead. Mu Chenyan woke up at dawn when her husband gently kissed her with his thin lips. Her drowsy eyes were still blurry when she turned over. The French windows pale yellow curtains looked unusually gentle under the misty light of the early morning sun. During the early summer of May, sunlight pierced through the cracks and glimmered inside, warming the morning breeze as well. Mu Chenyanzily stretched and looked upward before she saw Yuan Xuan taking his clothes out of the closet. Yuan Xuans great figure truly looked attractive no matter what he wore, such as these khaki casual pants and a white T-shirt. All year round, his closet was filled with white shirts that were always of an abnormally clean shade. One could never tire of looking at him in these clothes despite seeing him wear it numerous times. Youre not going to work today? Mu Chenyan quietly asked when she saw that he was not wearing his formal wear but had chosen a soft white cotton T-shirt instead. Frankly, there was something else that she kept wanting to askst night. What would they do about Qinger in the future? Yes, Ive chosen a gallery for Qinger that will disy her artworks during an art exhibition. It was rare that Yuan Xuan would be willing to exin some of the situation to her. Mu Chenyan lowered her eyelids and did not pursue the question any further. ... Wu Huais expression darkened when he saw Mu Chenyan in one of the corners in the office. Wu Huai never mentioned it but he was inwardly unhappy that Mu Chenyan had secretly went over and followed the case behind his back. Big Brother Wu... Mu Chenyan knew that she was at fault. She had purposely avoided Wu Huai and distanced herself when she saw him several times. However, she forced herself to greet him when they identally ran into each other and she could not avoid him today. In a muffled voice, Wu Huai said, Miss Mu, I admire you very much because you made a name for yourself after one case! Since she had be famous after one case, more people in the news industry now paid attention to this rookie reporter. She was brave enough to boldly publish Nie Chaos case despite being previously obscure. A case that was initially supposed to be hushed had instantly took a favorable turn instead! Mu Chenyan could not tell whether Wu Huai was mocking or praising her. She hung her head and lowered her eyes before she replied Wu Huai, saying, I cant tell if Big Brother Wu is kidding... Nie Chaomitted suicide in the Detention Centerst night! Wu Huais expression became rather frosty while his gaze was bone-piercingly cold when he suddenly said that. Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded because this result was beyond her expectations. However, you dont have to feel sorry for him because those who are unjust are doomed to destruction! You dont know how many crimes people like him havemitted. This was bound to happen sooner orter. You could say that he deserved the things that happened to him today! Mu Chenyan was stunned by the news of Nie Chaos suicide. Wu Huais face looked rather suspicious when he nced at her expression. Miss Mu, dont you know who helped you publish that article? Mu Chenyan shook her head. Why are you asking that, Big Brother Wu? Didnt Chief Editor Liu willingly publish it? I dont know how brave Liu Haonan actually is, but do you think that hed be self-aware enough to do it if he didnt have anyone supporting him in the background? Hmph! As an upright person, Wu Huai had always been somewhat disdainful towards people who acted as the situation required. Well, it doesnt matter if you dont know. I just wanted to remind Miss Mu not to allow people to manipte you and be unaware of that. Wu Huais gaze swept across Mu Chenyan when he said that, as though he wanted to find some clues from her expression. The intelligent woman suddenly thought of something but she did not dare to mention it in front of Wu Huai. Big Brother Wu keeps saying unnecessary things but Im merely relying on my instincts to take action... Mu Chenyans attitude had already made it difficult for Wu Huai to respond. Wu Huai sighed, Miss Mu is still inexperienced. This old case met a bitter end three years ago. I dont want Miss Mu to be sucked into a whirlpool again before youll be pushed towards the heart of the struggle... Mu Chenyan could sense Wu Huais sincerity. The woman rubbed the tip of her nose and faintly said, Chenyan will always bear the things that Big Brother Wu said in mind! Mu Chenyan thought of Wu Huais words throughout the entire afternoon. She had been manipted indeed. However, the person with a target on his chest was Yuan Xuan... It was needless to say that aside from Yuan Xuan, there was no one else in Luo Hai who could put Chief Editor Liu in such mind-numbing danger that would force him to publish that news article. Nie Chaos suicide was probably one of the assumed suicides that were presently widespread. One persons life or death could affect the safety of everyone around them. When she thought of Xue Meiweis attitude towards her, she could imagine that in the eyes of the Yuan Familys second son, she was now considered as a thorn in his flesh... However, Mu Chenyan was not afraid. Nheless, she was really unhappy about being unconsciously manipted by Yuan Xuan. This man was truly a scoundrel with a murderous intent behind his smile. The woman became slightly restless before it was time for her to leave the office. Fortunately, her phone rang just in time. When Mu Chenyan saw that Wu Ze was calling her, her mood instantly brightened. At times like this, Wu Ze always resembled a ray of sunshine that dispersed the thick clouds in her heart... Chapter 283 - Shen Clan Mansion

Chapter 283: Shen n Mansion

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Chenyan, are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner together? Wu Zes magnificent tone suddenly made Mu Chenyan feel close to him. Without any hesitation, Mu Chenyan quietly said, Yes, itll be my treat this time! Mu Chenyan smiled at the person on the other line as she spoke. Wu Ze nodded before he teased her, saying, You can treat me if you insist. In fact, you should be serious about treating me since youre already an important reporter whos famous everywhere! ... Mu Chenyan took Wu Ze to the stall that Su Qingcheng had previously brought her. She ordered beer and barbecued skewers. Oil droplets continuously glistened on the surface of themb skewers, barbecuedmb kidneys, pork belly, roasted chicken wings, and drumsticks while their aroma dispersed in all directions. Meanwhile, everyones taste buds were filled with the original vors of the enoki mushrooms, potato slices, and golden fried bun slices. Wu Ze came from an aristocratic family. Although he was awyer, he had actually never eaten such street food. He curiously took in his surroundings. Although they were simple, the environment was still considerably clean. Simultaneously, he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt before he took a big gulp of his beer like the man beside him. The dry but crisp vor excited him. He grabbed another handful of skewers. They tasted delicious and were even better than the luxurious delicacies that he had eaten. The man praised her, saying, Little Chenyan, I shouldve asked you to treat me to such a nice ce long ago! Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan gently sighed before she smiled and replied. I assumed that youdin about this shabby ce since youre used to dining in five-star hotels. Mu Chenyan scanned her surroundings and saw a big burly man who had raised his leg up on his chair while he stupidly smiled at the female television anchor on his phone, a fat older man with a stubbly chin, young graduates who had just gotten off from work, and groups of students... People from all walks of life gathered at this humble street stall. Although someone with Wu Zes status and dressing looked out of ce among them, he happily enjoyed his food nheless. I dont know where you got that idea. I think that experiences like these are much better than those in five-star hotels! I really feel that I missed out on the earlier parts of my life. There are so many beautiful experiences in life but I and the people like me have let these things slip past us. Thats truly a shame! Wu Ze spoke sincerely from his heart. Due to his background, he had studied in a private aristocratic school in both junior and high school. When he went to study in Ennd for his university, he only encountered schrs and gentlemen. People like them would never have joined him to chug beers and stuff themselves with skewers. When he came home after his graduation, he quickly made a name for himself in the legal industry. Moreover, since he was from the Wu Family, when would his clients who wanted him to handle theirwsuits ever invite him to a roadside stall even if they were going to buy him a meal? He would truly have never experienced things like this if it was not for Mu Chenyan. The handsome and famouswyer ate without caring about anything else. He rapidly devoured the meat skewers and swallowed them while faint beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Mu Chenyan could not help butughed when she saw this. Eat slowly, no ones going to take that from you. She passed a piece of tissue paper to Wu Ze as she spoke. For some reason, Mu Chenyan trusted Wu Ze with all her heart. However, this feeling had nothing to do with love. Perhaps this was because Wu Ze was by her side during the darkest moments of her life. Therefore, this trust would follow Mu Chenyan for the rest of her life. After he had eaten for a while, the handsome Attorney Wus face turned slightly red. Frankly, his alcohol tolerance was never very high. However, he drank two bottles of beer. Was he intentionally trying to get drunk? Wu Ze said, Im truly in awe of you, Little Chenyan. Youre probably aware that I invited you out for a meal today because I took on Sun Xus familys case. I want to get justice andpensation for Mrs Sun! Mu Chenyan was not shocked when she heard this because Wu Ze was always providing legal aid. The Sun Family had definitely sought out legal aid since they had already turned out like this. The Sun Familys case is actually very simple. It mainly required a courageous and righteous person whos brave enough to handle it. Regarding this matter, Im actually sincerely in awe of my brother. Although hes an ugly person with a bad temper, he still has a sense of justice! While he was speaking, Wu Ze paused before he pretended to sound mysterious as he said, He knew that you had left with Su Qingcheng long ago! Mu Chenyan was inwardly slightly shocked. Nheless, this was not surprising. If Wu Huai had not tacitly agreed to this, how could she have followed that case so smoothly? However, how could he called a handsome older man like Wu Huai an ugly person with a bad temper? Mu Chenyan could not help butughed. Brother Wu Huai is really a positive person! However, the one who helped me get through to those connections and sent the manuscript was... It was that b*stard Yuan Xuan! Wu Ze interrupted Mu Chenyans sentence while a proud and sinister smile appeared on his face. Mu Chenyan blushed. Apparently, everyone could guess that! The Yuan Family Mansion has been chaotic. These few years, Yuan Xuan has constantly been at odds with his second uncle in secret. Nie Chaos case hit one of the Yuan Familys second sons nerves. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order to Capital City was held up because of this. Yuan Tangzhong was unwilling to ept this. Therefore, you have to be careful next time, Wu Ze worriedly said. Someone wanted to intentionally frame you during Shu Qingers case three years ago. I dont want you to be involved in anymore mishaps! Big Brother Wu, I actually wanted to tell you that Qinger is still alive... Mu Chenyan felt that Shu Qingers incident was simrly one of Wu Zes worries as well. Thus, Mu Chenyan felt that Wu Ze should know about this. Wu Ze widened his eyes and looked at Mu Chenyan in disbelief. How is that possible? Mu Chenyans tone was indifferent when she exined the whole sequence of events to Wu Ze. Shu Qinger is now staying in Luo Hai, and Yuan Xuan bought her an art gallery for her to have an exhibition! Upon hearing this, Wu Ze sighed, Yuan Xuan is someone who treasures his friendships. Since Shu Qinger had saved him in Ennd once, perhaps that woman is using this as leverage against Yuan Xuan. A man is always afraid of owing people favors, more so if that man is Yuan Xuan. When Mu Chenyan heard this, she realized that Wu Ze probably knew some inside information. She tugged at Wu Ze somewhat emotionally and said, What exactly happened that year? Wu Ze could tell that Mu Chenyan only knew certain parts of the story. He quietly said, Yuan Xuan was actually at risk during those years when he was studying in Ennd. He encountered dangers numerous times from time to time because someone wanted to harm him! There were two incidents that were more dangerous than the rest. I saved him the first time but I got shot because of that. He was kidnapped another time. Qinger happened toe to Ennd to visit him at that time so the kidnappers took both of them away. That incident was slightly stranger because those three kidnappers didnt seem to want Yuan Xuans life. On the contrary, they were waiting for someones orders. Moreover, they didnt seem like skillful professionals because they revealed their goal too quickly. While the police were in the midst of the search and investigation process, the kidnappers panicked and nned to kill them to silence them. Qinger became frantic at that moment. It was rumored that she used her body to dy those kidnappers! Wu Ze paused and nced at Mu Chenyan when he reached this part. He lowered his voice before he continued, The kidnappers assumed that Qinger was Mu Chenyan when they were raping her. One of the kidnappers said that itd be worth it even if he died because he managed to have his way with the youngdy of the Mu Family that day... Mu Chenyans entire body chilled to the bone! She waspletely unaware of this matter. She had probably just arrived in Ennd at that time. However, she needed to briefly returned home because the Mu Family was facing trouble. She was absent during that period of time when Yuan Xuan was facing danger. Later, Yuan Xuan merely casually mentioned the issue and told Mu Chenyan that it was just a robbery. Moreover, she was unaware that the kidnappers actually wanted to kidnap her. No wonder Qinger hated her to the bone and mentioned that it should have been her to experience the misfortune... Later, Shen Muqiu brought a team of armed personnel and saved Yuan Xuan before the police. This also marked the beginning of Yuan Xuan and Shen Muqiu crossing paths with each other. Shen Muqiu? Mu Chenyan realized that she was basically living inside a vacuum. Apparently, she knew nothing about the things that were happening around Yuan Xuan. This was simply because Yuan Xuan was too good at isting her. Wu Ze smiled, saying, It looks like Yuan Xuan was really unwilling to tell you anything. Shen Muqiu was a descendant of Luo Hais Shen Family. That year, Luo Hais Shen Family was suppressed and ruined due to political reasons. Thus, the descendants of the Shen Family formed an underworld organization while they were exiled overseas. As a descendant of the Yuan Family, Yuan Xuan certainly needed to return to Luo Hai. Thus, Shen Muqiu could also return to Luo Hai sooner orter as long as he held on to his lifeline, Yuan Xuan. Conversely, Shen Muqiu also resembled a string in Yuan Xuans hands now. Although they were engaged in business matters, he was also the reason why Yuan Xuan could smoothly and easily deploy great forces. The more Mu Chenyan heard, the greater her heart trembled. Are you saying that Yuan Xuan also holds power over the underworld organization? Wu Ze nodded. Yuan Xuans thoughts were too profound. I advised him long ago not to get too close to someone like Shen Muqiu but the first thing that he did when he returned from abroad was to buy the Shen n Mansion! Shen n Mansion? Thats Liu Li Vi! Chapter 284 - Zheng Shuyan

Chapter 284: Zheng Shuyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan was surprised when she had heard that Liu Li Vi was the Shen n Mansion. The few days she had spent in Liu Li Vi, she spent them on turning it inside out. However, there were a number of rooms and storerooms that she was forbidden to enter by Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan told her that the previous owner had left behind some things that he did not wish to be broken. She was curious. Yuan Xuan had always been very territorial, not other people could even enter the Liu Li Vi, but he kept the possessions of the previous owner. Where is Shen Muqiu right now? Mu Chenyan asked. If it were before of Shen Muqiu, it was understandable why Yuan Xuan would keep the possessions in Liu Li Vi. Shen Muqiu is mysterious. Hes vicious and decisive, as well as daring in his assassination attempts. Hes got a bit of fame going around in the underground gangsmunity. Everyone from his organization was well-trained and disciplined. Shen Muqiu had organized several huge cases, even the Interpol were looking for him. Yuan Xuan and him were close, I think only Yuan Xuan could contact him at this point. Mu Chenyan was confused. She had been in the UK for several years, but she did not know Yuan Xuan was in contact with such an organization. There were so many things she did not know! Chenyan, I cant tell you how many more secrets Yuan Xuan is holding, but one thing is certain, Yuan Xuans love toward you... Wu Ze exined as he looked at Mu Chenyan, whose face blushed. I know... ... In Yuan Tangzhongs study room in the Peace Mansion. Yuan Tangzhongs secretary had her golden-rimmed sses on while she reported the investigators findings to Yuan Tangzhong. Yuan Xuan bought a gallery for Miss Zhao on Ougao Road! Yuan Zhe stood on the side, not daring to interrupt. In the past few days, his old man was not happy with him. What on earth is Yuan Xuan doing? I think, theres something wrong with that Zhao Ruoxin! Yuan Tangzhong said with a hint of worry in his voice. He nced at Yuan Zhe, who finally piped up. Father, lets not care about that Zhao Ruoxin! Mu Chenyan ruined our n this time, I cant just swallow this! Yuan Xuans weak spot is Mu Chenyan, I really want to get rid of her... Any time Yuan Zhe brought up Mu Chenyan, he would be instantly enraged! His cruel face was filled with hatred. Had Mu Chenyan not reported on Sun Xu, a case that would be buried would not have resurfaced. You idiot! Hearing that, Yuan Tangzhong scolded, You think Mu Chenyan is easy to handle? Do you take Yuan Xuan as a rice-eater (TN: Chinese idiom. To use someone of being useless to the point that their only contribution at home was to eat.)? Yuan Zhe knew that the moment he speaks would be the moment he was yelled at. He lowered his eyes and stopped speaking. You think Yuan Xuan was the same as a few years ago? The same Yuan Xuan who would allow you to threaten him with Mu Chenyan? Where would Mu Chenyan get her materials from? The one behind her is Yuan Xuan himself! Yuan Tangzhong sat in his chair, took a breath, and continued reprimanding. You useless thing, if it wasnt for Nie Chaos suicide taking responsibility for everything, do you think you would sit here peacefully? In a few days, someone wille from the Capital City to investigate this, so control yourself! You cant touch Mu Chenyan, especially now! Secretary He poured Yuan Tangzhong a cup of tea. Teacher, lets not me Young Master for now. Its already in the past. Weve arranged everything to handle the person from the Capital City, there wont be any major issues. Yuan Tangzhong nodded and told the secretary, Secretary He, arrange something else for me. I want to take several days of sick leave. In this period of time, dont entertain any guests! Order my staff to be vignt. Before the people from Capital City leave, dont do anything rash! Secretary He nodded after receiving the order, then looked at Yuan Zhe carefully. After being admonished, Yuan Zhe was discontented. Father, Nie Chaos money-making schtick is not this, its his own fault that he fell on this! Furthermore, the money he made was not for me. Do you think Mu Chenwu would listen to us without the money to support his team? Yuan Tangzhong red at Yuan Zhe as he warned, You cantpletely trust Mu Chenwu. Using him to fend against Yuan Xuan was one of our backups. You need to be careful about this, we cant go that close with Mu Family! Yuan Zhe nodded and said in a low voice, If it wasnt for Wu Ze, Yuan Xuan wouldve died in the UK, and none of this messy stuff wouldve happened... Hmph! How dare you bring these things up! Yuan Tangzhong almost threw the teapot in fury. If you didnt act without authorization, Yuan Xuan wouldnt have hated the second family of Yuan so much! His previous target was just Mu Feng, your people attempted to assassinate Yuan Xuan and failed. Not to mention, he managed to find out that it was you who ordered it, what an absolute imbecile who is sessful at doing nothing but mess up! Yuan Zhe did not dare to speak further, Secretary Hemented, Teacher Yuan, please dont get angry, Young Master just did something wrong out of impatience... Yuan Tangzhong waved his hand and sighed. Lil He, youve been with me for so many years, you should know how seriously this Nie Chao thing affects me! Ive waited for so many years, but on the verge of the Capital Citys transfer order, this happens. If my ungrateful child has half the intelligence that you have, I wouldnt need to deal with this stupid issue... Teacher, dont feel bad, there are plenty of chances in the future! Lil He pushed her sses andforted him softly. Yuan Tangzhong sighed and took a look at Yuan Zhe, who was behaving as if he was still being scolded, and said, Dont you go outside and make things worse in the near future. Stay at home and apany that girl Wen Ya! ... After a few days of rest and recovery, it was time for the cast on Wen Yas legs to be taken off. Yuan Tangshuo contacted the orthopedician on his payroll to take the cast off of her. It was not Zheng Shuyans first time at Yuan Family Mansion. Led by the maid, he managed to arrive at the garden of Peace Mansion. Wen Ya was sitting on a wheelchair as she was reading a book underneath a trees shade. After the cast was taken off, Wen Ya would be free to walk about with a crutch. Wen Ya! Zheng Shuyans voice was so soft, it made thedy on the wheelchair drop her book in surprise. Zheng... Zheng Shuyan... Why are you here? Wen Yas tiny face was filled with fear and panic as she looked around anxiously. The maid went to her and picked up the book. She said, Mistress, this is the doctor that Third Master contacted to remove your cast! After Yuan Zhe pushed her off the stairs, he did not send her to the military hospital out of fear that Old Mistress would see through him. However, Yuan Tangshuo still sent someone to remove the cast. Wen Ya was a little shaky, her eyes darted around quickly but avoided Zheng Shuyan. She told the maid, Send me to the front hall, let Doctor Zheng perform the procedure there! The maid was going to push the wheelchair, but Zheng Shuyan interrupted, Allow me! The man was pushing the wheelchair, his body exuding a faint scent of body wash mixed with disinfectant, calming Wen Ya down. Years ago, in the new year party in the UK, Wen Ya saw a boy whose eyes could speak. His body carried a faint smell of disinfectant. Smilingly, he offered his hand to Wen Ya, saying in an attractive melodic voice, Im Zheng Shuyan, second year in the medical school... Those hands were smooth and fair like white jade, as well as warm and dry! Now, those same pair of hands were removing the cast on her legs, a seething hate escaping his usually calm and collected face. Chapter 285 - Either the Fish Die or the Net Splits

Chapter 285: Either the Fish Die or the Net Splits

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya dismissed her maid and struggled to get up so she could get Zheng Shuyan some water. Zheng Shuyan was in his white robe, the jade-like man suddenly pulled Wen Ya over and held her in his arms... Wen Ya! Stop avoiding me! Zheng Shuyans lips swept past Wen Yas earlobe, bringing to her a hint of his masculine touch. Wen Ya shuddered as her voice gave in. Zheng Shuyan, let go of me, Yuan Zhe is home, if he realizes what youre doing, youll be dead... Wen Ya had suffered ten thousand points of shock as she attempted pushing Zheng Shuyan who only tightened his hold. She paused and started clinging onto the warmth he provided as she stopped struggling. Little Ya, leave with me, please? I dont want to see you hurt anymore. Seeing you like this, I want to murder someone... Wen Ya cried. Her tears streamed down her cheeks freely, but she did not dare to make any sound. She bit her lips to keep herself from crying out loud, but her body began to pulse as she suppressed her crying. Shuyan, I... Im not clean... please... please dont do this... Zheng Shuyan suddenly let go of Wen Ya and lifted her tear-covered face. Little Ya, I dont care. Youre always pure and saintly in my heart! Having said that, unable to control his own emotion, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips hungrily! Wen Ya was scared. She struggled a little, but her body was not strong enough to break away from his hegemonic kiss. Zheng Shuyan did not care. He kept plucking the fragrance between her lips and teeth greedily, his tongue ying with hers, not leaving her any respite. With that, Wen Yaid limply, allowing Zheng Shuyan to harvest her... The woman who had long been denied of kindness slowly began to respond to him, her hands grasping tightly at the cloth around his waist, her breath growing heavy... After an indeterminate amount of time, Zheng Shuyan finally let go of the woman who had been robbed of her oxygen. He carefully ced a kiss on her forehead. Little Ya, when I heard the dean saying he was sending someone to remove the cast for you, did you know how excited I was? Wen Ya cried uncontrobly again. Seeing her tears, Zheng Shuyans heart broke. Little Ya, why are you avoiding me? Do you know, my main reason for giving up staying in the UK ande to Luo Hai was to find you... Zheng Shuyan hugged Wen Ya tightly, his hands caressing the top of her head. Wen Yas sobbing had turned into a wordless sniffle. Zheng Shuyan carried her onto the couch. After a while, when her emotion was calmer, she said slowly, Lets end it between us... Yuan Family is not someone you want to cross, I dont want to involve you... Little Ya, how could I leave when youre staying in this hell hole yourself? If I leave, you shoulde with me. Divorce that bastard, fly away with me! Hearing that, Wen Ya chuckled bitterly. She looked up at Zheng Shuyan, her face determined. Im not leaving. I want to stay, I want to see these demons getting the karma they deserve! My child... cannot die in vain... If I live in pain... they cannot live in paradise... As she said that, Wen Ya smiled wildly. She clutched at Zheng Shuyans arms fervidly. Shuyan, I cant involve you in this. If Yuan Zhe found out, he could do anything... Zheng Shuyan snorted. He said lightly, You think Im afraid of him? Just as he said that, a set of footsteps came from outside, Wheres my wife? The maid said, Young Master, the doctor removing her cast was just here... Wen Ya knew it was Yuan Zhe. She pushed Zheng Shuyan away and begged, Please leave, quickly. You cant let Yuan Zhe see you. I dont care if he beats me to death, I cant have him involve you... Zheng Shuyan shook Wen Yas hand unhurriedly. Little Ya, dont worry! He stood up, stretching the creases on his outfit with aposed coolness, and a well-knit collectedness reappeared on his person. When Yuan Zhe hade in, he managed to catch Zheng Shuyans cold eyes. Yuan Zhe was startled as he looked at Wen Ya. Her face was dry, but it was apparent that she had just cried. The mans face darkened. Wen Ya, whats happening? Hmm? Yuan Zhes voice had always been full of murderous intent that may have been trained on him due to his being bullied. Every time Wen Ya heard him, she was scared. Shuddering, she could not look at Yuan Zhe with her red eyes, but Zheng Shuyan spoke up. Mr. Yuan, is it? I am Wen Yas college friend and am now an orthopedician under Third Master Yuans payroll! Zheng Shuyans words were neither condescending nor humble, his tones were cool, exuding a hint of tranquility in his behavior. It could be that he was a doctor and had trained to carry thatposure, Yuan Zhe could not help but be stifled by the man. He had wanted to look for something to me Wen Ya, but now his attention was wholly focused on this man. Oh? Is that so? Little Ya was crying because she met an old friend? Yuan Zhe sat beside Wen Ya and ced a hand on Wen Yas shoulder. She was pulled into his arms as he ced his other hand onto her injured leg. Putting a little more force, Wen Ya squealed painfully as her tears threatened to stream down her cheeks again! Zheng Shuyan held his fist tight. His veins popped and he snorted coldly. Wen Ya was just telling me that her injury was because she fell. I checked it. How much strength would you need to hurt yourself like this? Zheng Shuyan paused as he observed Yuan Zhes expression before he continued, I think Third Master Yuan must have trusted me enough to send me here, so I wont spread the news that someone who married into the Yuan Family was suffering domestic abuse... You! Yuan Zhes face contorted into a furious barbarity. This gutsy doctor dare threaten me! Mr Yuan, dont be too irritated. Dont worry, I wont say anything. After all, the second house of the Yuan Family is currently surrounded by unrest... Zheng Shuyan finished his words and looked at Wen Ya sadly. He said sadly, Wen Ya, Ill be back to check on your injury next time. Please take care of yourself. Wen Ya understood Zheng Shuyans unsaidment. She nodded. Thank you, Doctor Zheng! Zheng Shuyan took the tools he brought and told Yuan Zhe, Mr Yuan, I shall take my leave! Yuan Zhes eyes were spitting venom as he watched while Zheng Shuyan walked away. He lowered his head and saw that his woman looked longing. A surge of resentment filled his heart as he choked Wen Yas chin. Still yearning for him? Wen Yas gaze was chill and emotionless, she shed him a condescending smile. Yuan Zhe, your biggest weakness is yourck of confidence! Hes just a college friend, and this is your reaction? What, do you care about me or something? Compared to what you do outside, I think Im pretty clean! Yuan Zhe had never seen Wen Ya behave this way. He gritted his teeth and threatened, If you dare to cheat on me, I will let the Wen Family die without a grave to hold them! Hearing that, Wen Yaughed maniacally. Yuan Zhe was startled by herughter. After she hadughed enough, she wiped away the tears and spat out through gritted teeth, Then I should thank you! For so many years, I have tolerated a life not meant for humans or ghosts alike, thats all because of Wen Family! You have ruined my whole life! You kept using Wen Family to threaten me, now let me tell you, I cant wait for the day that you all died! If you torment me again, I will leak everything Ive endured all these years to the public, so either the fish dies or the splits! Yuan Zhe looked at the crazed expression of the woman. He thought that the second house of Yuan Family was under plenty of strife at the moment, so it was not wise to fight the woman head-on. He smirked. Nice, your wings have matured! Good, I like a Mrs Yuan like this. How could I y a game that either the fish dies or the splits? Didnt our game just start? Saying that, Yuan Zhe carried Wen Ya in his arms and sprinted upstairs into the bedroom on the second floor. Wen Ya could definitely see the lust in his eyes. The weak woman closed her eyes, surrendering to her fate... Chapter 286 - Seeing Her Suppress Her Desire Would Only Make Him Want to Bully Her More

Chapter 286: Seeing Her Suppress Her Desire Would Only Make Him Want to Bully Her More

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zheng Shuyan returned to the hospital and rested a little while at the parking bay. He touched his lips, where Wen Yas smell still lingered. Facing his mirror, he smirked as he thought about the way Yuan Zhe treated Wen Ya, and his face contorted into a ferocious version of it. A woman who I am afraid of melting within my own palm was treated as such by that monster. Zheng Shuyan punched his steering wheel. The horn honked loudly for a few times! His heart was howling, Yuan Zhe, I wish you could go and die! It was the peak hour after work, so there were no operations to attend. Yuan Tian had packed up in advance. When her car passed by Zheng Shuyans, she saw the cold glint in the eyes of the man inside and began to mutter to herself. Yuan Tian was smart, she had a sudden sh of an idea. She parked her car beside him and alighted joyfully. She knocked on Zheng Shuyans car window. Doctor Zheng? Zheng Shuyan was shocked. He was still releasing the hatred in his heart, the interruption had him flustered. Seeing it was Yuan Tian who was outside his window, Zheng Shuyan felt a little awkward for a while. He lowered his window and switched his expression into a smiley one. Doctor Yuan, can I help you? Yuan Tians face was pink as she wore her ttering face. I want to treat you to dinner! Zheng Shuyan was still seething hate at Yuan Zhe, he was ufortable seeing any Yuan Family members at all, how would he have the mood to have dinner with any of them? I have a date tonight, so maybe not. Zheng Shuyan refused politely. Even though his tone was cordial, his cold gaze was not something Yuan Tian would miss. As one of the youngest chief doctors in the military hospital, Zheng Shuyans appearance had always been the talk among female doctors and nurses alike. However, Yuan Tian was an exception. She had always treated Zheng Shuyan like a senior brother. On this day, her intention of asking him out was indeed to ask for a favor, but before she could say anything, it was struck down! Thedy was a little upset, she whined while pouting. Doctor Zheng, youre such a puritanical pretty boy, your coldness was even spilling out of your orifices! Zheng Shuyan had always thought the third house of Yuan Family, the Yuan Tangshuo and Yuan Zhuan siblings were decent people. He was only harboring resentment from his encounter in the Yuan Family Mansion, and it showed in his lukewarm treatment of Yuan Tian. Hearing Yuan Tiansint, he felt slightly guilty and came out of his car as well. Doctor Yuan, I do have an appointmentter. What if we do this another day, Ill treat you to a dinner? Yuan Tian was shorter than Zheng Shuyan by half a head, she raised her calf and got closer to him. Actually, I have a favor to ask! ... Every summer, Mu Chenyans body would decide to bezy. She had taken a shower and hid in the shade at the balcony on the third floor. Yuan Xuan was still out, he had beente to arrive home recently. Whenever Mu Chenyan was bored, she would run upstairs to y with Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball. The two furkids were growing really fast, Little Ginger Fur Ball whose body had been obese had grown to over half-feet long. The third floor was no longerrge enough for them to jump around. The pair of cats were readily escaping outside led by the male Briquet. However, whenever Mu Chenyan came, the two cats would run back and start mewing at her. Ginger, when you grow up, Ill let you marry Briquet, what do you say? Mu Chenyan lovingly told Little Ginger Fur Ball while grabbing two lumps of fat on its body. Meow meow... Little Ginger Fur Ball did not reply, but Briquet did so joyfully. Mu Chenyan smiled. Briquet, you are so enthusiastic in replying. Are you afraid that you might not get a wife? Hmm? Her voice waszy and attractive. After her shower, she had only worn a thin sundress leisurely. She looked bewitching without being sleazy, gentle without being weak. Her smooth, nourished skin was so supple, it felt like water could gush out of it. Mu Chenyanid on the recliner. Unbeknownst to her, her stance was taken in entirely by the man at the staircase. After Yuan Xuan had bathed, he arrived at the third floor. Quietly, he stood by the staircase, watching Mu Chenyan as she conversed with the two cats. The imagery of that scene was deeply embedded in his head, he would still recall the image while standing at the same ce yearster... Meow meow... Cats were more sensitive than humans. Sensing its daddy who hid in the corner, Briquet rushed over happily. It was then that Mu Chenyan noticed the man. She wanted to stand up, but Yuan Xuan approached her with long strides before pressing his hand on her shoulder. Dont move! Pressed against the recliner, Mu Chenyanid back down. Her face was scarlet red as she whispered, When did you arrive home? You made no sounds at all! Even though Yuan Xuan had bathed, there was still a scent of alcohol around him. The first stage of the oil field was done today, I was at the celebration party. As he was saying that, hisrge hand caressed her torso... Mu Chenyan was incredibly sensitive. She shuddered and shied away from him, but he grabbed her in one swoop. Hiske-like eyes were filled with the fire of desire. I want to try it here! Mu Chenyan moaned, her tiny body was overpowered to the point of difficulty in breathing. Careful, someone might see... It was not that she did not want to do it, she just felt it was weird to do it on a balcony. Who? I only see the cats! Yuan Xuan ignored her shyness, allowing his hands to rip her clothes off of her. Her white underwear was clutched in his hand as he snickered... Mu Chenyan did not understand the situation. The scenario changed too abruptly, she was just here to y with the cats! Yuan Xuan, please, can we go back to the bedroom? Maybe men like excitement more. Since doing it there thest time, it had been lingering in Yuan Xuans mind. With a perfect opportunity like this, how would be miss out on the fun? Didnt you say you want to marry Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball? Yuan Xuan teased as he explored fervently on her body, causing chills to go down her spine repeatedly. Mu Chenyan did not understand how this had anything to do with Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball. Continuing his plunder, he mumbled while panting, Briquet is so naive, there are so many things for it to learn through watching! So, what Im doing now is only showing Briquet how to love Little Ginger Fur Ball... Before Mu Chenyan could respond to that, her body had been turned over. When she realized she was bent over and her nude back was facing her man, she clutched at the cotton seat nervously... Yuan Xuans hands caressed her back before he inspected hisnd once more with his lips, which stopped near her ear. Are you ready? Mm... She could not help but to moan... He loved seeing Mu Chenyan like this. She had been teased and tickled until her body was on fire, but she still withheld her desire, maintaining the reticence of her virginity... Seeing her suppress her desire would only make him want to bully her more... Little Chenyan, you made me so obsessed! Tonight, theyve arranged for somedies. The moment I saw them, I only wanted to rush back and im you... No wonder! The reason the situation had evolved so quickly was because of that! So why didnt you... do... it there? Mu Chenyan was controlled by him, she no longer knew if she had any control of her body... Ive been pampered by you! I only want you! Yuan Xuans sweat dripped on her back. Wen Ya dismissed her maid and struggled to get up so she could get Zheng Shuyan some water. Zheng Shuyan was in his white robe, the jade-like man suddenly pulled Wen Ya over and held her in his arms... Wen Ya! Stop avoiding me! Zheng Shuyans lips swept past Wen Yas earlobe, bringing to her a hint of his masculine touch. Wen Ya shuddered as her voice gave in.

Chapter 287: Mu Chenyan Pulled down Her Mask and Called Softly, Mr Ye...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The pale light of dawn broke through the darkness from the east. The woman woke up, realizing that she was nested in Yuan Xuans arms as docile as Little Ginger Fur Ball. The air conditioning was at full st, no wonder she kept curling up by him, her body trying to close the gap to search for warmth! The things Yuan Xuan would do to take advantage of her... Are you awake? Yuan Xuan could feel his woman stirring and asked with his gruff voice. You must be so tired yesterday, sleep a little longer? Mu Chenyan was afraid when he does that. Not only would she feel awkward, she would feel shy too. She shook her head, not daring to use her voice. Her voice was even coarser than his, what an embarrassment. Ill get up first, I wanna go look at the cats. The moment the cats were brought up, Mu Chenyan immediately buried her face in the summer nket. Yuan Xuans lips curled into his signature bad-boy smile. What had he done in front of the two cats? Mu Chenyan took her phone and looked at the time. She fell asleep for a while longer. When Yuan Xuan had returned from working out, he had some breakfast. By the time Mu Chenyan had gotten up, he had already finished cleaning up and prepared to go out. Its Saturday, are you still working? Seeing Yuan Xuans outfit, Mu Chenyan asked curiously. I have a friending back from the UK, Im going to Liu Li Vi! Yuan Xuan did not conceal his agenda. Mu Chenyan ruminated a little. A friend from the UK? Liu Li Vi! She did not answer. Whatever Wu Ze had told her, she did not confirm with Yuan Xuan. After the weather heated up, Mu Chenyan became lethargic and lost appetite, so Ah Fu made the breakfast really light. She had had quite a bit to eat before Yuan Xuan left with satisfaction. The conspiratorial brain of Mu Chenyan had already started getting uneasy. Yuan Xuan did not bring her, but he did promise to ask Sister Liu for some fresh fruits and vegetables. Mu Chenyan felt strongly that the friend from the UK might be Shen Muqiu! The ringing of a phone had disrupted Mu Chenyans thought pattern. Yuan Tian? Are you not working today? Seeing the caller ID, Mu Chenyan addressed Yuan Tian lightly, I miss you! If you miss me,e on over quickly. I have good news! Yuan Tians secretive tone caused Mu Chenyan to bounce from her couch. Did you manage to gain ess to that special ward? ... Mu Chenyan rushed to the military hospital. As soon as she had parked and exited the garage, she saw Yuan Tian waiting for her at the lift. She grabbed Mu Chenyan and dragged her to her own restroom. She threw her a set of nurse uniform. Change, andter follow the doctor doing his rounds. When the guard at the entrance asks, dont speak. Ive arranged everything with the doctor, hell do the answering! Mu Chenyan received the uniform, feeling excitement and nervousness gather in her. The political spies in the TV series or even Liu Haoran in Detective Chinatown (TN: A 2015 Chinese film) have done something like this... Dont let my dad or my brother know about this, theyd kill me. Yuan Tian exaggerated a little, she had done much worse than this, never once was she even beaten... Got it. After changing, Mu Chenyan wore her surgical mask and nurse cap in front of the mirror. She turned around and asked, Do other nurses wear masks? She felt even more exposed the more she tried to hide her identity, it was weird. Yuan Tian was tickled by the question. The only nurse following is you, who cares if the others are wearing masks! It looked like Yuan Tangshuo was pretty strict on the privacy. Normally, nurses wont be necessary, only the attending physician would be present. However, Ye Kun identally hurt his waist and got a steel te attached to him. Todays the day to remove it, so he needs an assistant. Yuan Tian tidied up Mu Chenyans cor. Dont worry, just go in, have a look. I heard the patient is super tight-lipped, almost nobody has heard him speak. Mu Chenyan nodded. She had not even thought of a reason why she needed to see Ye Kun... However, Zhao Yannis sudden feud with him and her leaving a suicide note addressed to her were very confusing, Mu Chenyan wanted to unravel the mystery. After leaving Yuan Tians restroom, Mu Chenyan followed Yuan Tian to the quarantine area. Zheng Shuyan was waiting at the entrance. His white robe fluttered, entuating his coolness. Mu Chenyans footsteps faltered slightly. She asked Yuan Tian, Hes Zheng Shuyan? Yuan Tian was startled, You know him? Mu Chenyan nodded. Hes my college mate and used to pursue Wen Ya... Mu Chenyan did not know if she should be saying this to other Yuan Family members. Yuan Xuan did not care, and among the Yuan Family, except Wen Ya, only she herself knew of this. Zheng Shuyan was not a Luo Hai citizen. He could have stayed on to study after graduating, but he chose toe to Luo Hai, and even got himself admitted into the staff of Yuan Tangshuos military hospital. Not even Mu Chenyan knew about this. Whoa! No wonder Doctor Zheng is such a rejecter. Hes still not letting go of Wen Ya! Yuan Tian was a little excited. Honestly though, Wen Ya would be much happier if she married him, aspared to marrying the Demon Yuan! Doctor Zheng is handsome and cultured, if you didnt mention this, I wouldve teased the Big White Bunny out of him! As she said that, Yuan Tian smiled deviously. Uh... Was the Demon Yuan Yuan Tian spoke of, Yuan Zhe? Also, whats with Yuan Tian and her obsession of seeing all men as Little White Bunnies? Spotting Yuan Tian from far, Zheng Shuyan waved his arm lightly. Yuan Tian immediately changed her demeanor. She suppressed her urge to tease the Big White Bunny and greeted him politely, Doctor Zheng, thank you for your help. This is the one, please bring her in! Zheng Shuyan perused the clear-eyed woman with a mask and was surprised. He asked with a low voice, Mu Chenyan? What a crisp recognition skill, Doctor Zheng?. You even recognized me in a mask, its been so long. Mu Chenyan offered her hand. Zheng Shuyan hesitated and shook her hand lightly, saying, Really, its been so long! It may be due to his knowledge of Mu Chenyan and Wen Yas rtionship, Zheng Shuyan was a little ufortable. However, he quickly recovered his usualposure and instructed Mu Chenyan, Dont take too long. I dont want Dean Yuan to find out that I broke his trust. Mu Chenyan nodded in understanding. Her being here was purely for fun, while they were here to earn their living. As the guard saw Zheng Shuyan bringing a nurse, he did stop them to interrogate. However, Yuan Tian already instructed that Zheng Shuyan would handle everything. After passing the check, Mu Chenyan exhaled in relief. The quarantine zone was set up specifically for Ye Kun, there were three checkpoints. Ye Kun had almost recovered, but due to his amputation, he had trouble moving about. When the care workers were resting, he wanted some water to drink and identally fell off his wheelchair and hurt his waist. Zheng Shuyan asked Mu Chenyan for help removing the steel te from Ye Kun. Mu Chenyan saw that the man on the wheelchair was frail and sickly, his life experience showing between his brows. The body in the wheelchair was so stiff, he could not control himself. In the whole time that Zheng Shuyan detached the steel te and gave him check-up, he had not spoken a word, his gaze drooping. Mu Chenyan felt as if she was stabbed by a sword. This quinquagenarian man must have had it rough, or he would not have left so many scars on his body, yet still continuing to endure. Zheng Shuyan nudged Mu Chenyan with his gaze before he left. Mu Chenyan pulled down her mask and called softly, Mr Ye... Ye Kun looked as if he was electrocuted. He slowly lifted his head. His voice was croaky, as if he had just emerged from an otherworldly tomb (TN: A reference to a well-known Chinese Wuxia novel, in which the protagonist met his teacher in a tomb). Xiao Mei? Is that you? Chapter 288 - Young Master Must Have Married You for Vengeance

Chapter 288: Young Master Must Have Married You for Vengeance

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ye Kun looked as if he was electrocuted. He slowly lifted his head. His voice was croaky, as if he had just emerged from an otherworldly tomb. Xiao Mei? Is that you? Its been so many years, yet you still didnt change a bit... As he was saying that, Ye Kun extended his quivering arm, trying to touch Mu Chenyans face. However, his intense shaking had left him feeling inadequate as his outstretched hands faltered and returned to his side. He looked down on his wobbling form, seemingly embarrassed. Mu Chenyan crouched down and looked at the surprised expression on the aged face on the man. Mr Ye, do you know my mother? Mu Chenyan was sure that Ye Kun must have mistaken her for Yan Mei as her visage does resemble her mother. Hearing Mu Chenyan, Ye Kuns eyes widened as if he had just woken from a dream. He was stunned looking at Mu Chenyans simr yet alien face. Carefully, he perused the face in front of him, trying to determine if it belonged to his Lil Mei. My mother is Yan Mei... Mu Chenyan did not expect how her quest to investigate why Zhao Yanni wanted to poison this man turned into a reunion of mothers old acquaintance. What an unforeseen result! You... you are the child born of Mu Family in Xi Fan... Young Master... Young Master married you... Ye Kun seemed to have understood. His senescent face paled, his hands scrambled about his body searching for something. His eyes were crimson from the agitation. With his old injury, his hands trembling hysterically. Mu Chenyan took a step back in fright. What... what are you looking for? Cigarette... Wherere my cigarettes... Give me a cigarette... Ye Kun roared as he continued scouring on his wheelchair. Mu Chenyan helped him look for his cigarettes. A pack of strong-smelling cigarette that Yuan Xuan gave him slipped out of the wheelchair. Mu Chenyan picked it up and passed him a roll. Ye Kun took the cigarette. Mu Chenyan looked around and found a lighter on the table, which she used to light the cigarette for Ye Kun. Ye Kun took a puff and exhaled a long ring of smoke. The calming effects of the cigarette slowly allowing the man to cool down. He took a while and looked up, his reddish eyes fixing onto Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, heughed. Hisughter filled the empty ward, which at this point, seemed ghastly, creepy, and abrupt... Mu Chenyan felt a little scared. Under Ye Kuns stare, she took a few steps back and asked, Mr Ye, what is my mother to you? Mu Chenyan had wanted to ask why Zhao Yanni wanted to hurt him, but as he knew her mother, he must know Mu Feng. His hands were full of calluses, so he must have used guns, he could even be her fathersrade... Thinking about that, Mu Chenyan was a little stirred. She stared at Ye Kun expectantly. Hearing her inquiry on his rtionship with Yan Mei, Ye Kuns eyes cooled dramatically. Youre here to find me just so you can ask me what my rtionship with Yan Mei is? The man paused, reviewing what he had just said, Or did your brother send you to kill me? Mu Chenyan was confused. She did not understand how the man would change so quickly. Talking about her mother had gotten him to be gentle, but now he was iming that her brother wanted to kill him... No! I dont know what youre talking about. I cant even get in touch with my brother right now, how would I want to kill you? We have no dispute between us... No disputes? Ye Kun continued tough. You Mu Family have no disputes between us? I cant wait to kill every one of you Mu people so none of you could be redeemed... The mans voice was strained and fatigued. He glowered at Mu Chenyan. If you werent Lil Meis daughter, I would have killed you to hurt her. I really want to kill you with my own hands... I love her so much, how would I make her sad... Mu Chenyan shuddered. She was worried that the crazy man would go through with his threats and choke her to death. Seeing Mu Chenyans fear, Ye Kun murmured. And Young Master, hes been entranced by you, I dont you why he would marry you, what a disgrace! Ye Kun was extremely mncholic at this point. He kept quiet for a while before realizing something and grasped his hair maniacally. No, Young Master must have married you for vengeance! Yes, vengeance, pure, unadulterated vengeance, he wouldnt have loved you... He knows your identity... he married you for revenge... What if I make the decision for him, he must have been in pain. He cant kill you by his hands, so I will... He suddenly turned around on his wheelchair and charged at Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyan did not understand why Ye Kun would hate her to her bones. She did not understand why he would im that Yuan Xuan marrying her was to exact revenge. What does that even mean? Back then, her brother also said the same thing in front of the tombstone. Why would they say that? Seeing Ye Kun pounce, Mu Chenyan tried to put distance between them. Dont... Donte near me! Ye Kuns red eyes red at Mu Chenyan, still mumbling about killing her. His crazed look could only be described as savage and scary. Mu Chenyan screamed, tripped by the velvet rug left on the ground by Ye Kun, and fell. Ye Kun had already closed in with her in an attempt to choke Mu Chenyan to death. His stature was imposing, and even though he was hurt on his upper body, his frenzy had provided him with an abnormal strength to normal human beings. Hearing Mu Chenyans scream, Zheng Shuyan rushed in. The guards also noticed the ruckus in the room and hurried over. Mu Chenyans face was red and her eyes lined with fear. Mr Ye, please calm down! Zheng Shuyan pulled at Mu Chenyan. Following him, the two guards held Ye Kun from behind and called out loudly, Mr Ye, thats a nurse, youve mistaken! No! Shes not, shes that kid! I need to kill her... There were so many deaths in Xi Fan, and all of them was because of him, its him... Generals dead... Everyones dead... Im still alive, I need to avenge them... Mu Feng and his people from Xi Fan cooperated and killed the general. He wants to kill me, hes afraid that I might expose him... Ye Kun struggled in an increasingly deranged streak. The two guards could not do much except to ask Zheng Shuyan for help. Doctor Zheng, please give him a shot of that tranquilizer! Ye Kun had lost control before, so the ward had tranquilizers prepared. Zheng Shuyan quickly took the syringe and a dose of the tranquilizer, prepared it, and injected Ye Kun with it while the two guards held him down. The drug soon took effect as Ye Kun slowly quietened and was knocked out. As the two guards carried Ye Kun back to his bed, Mu Chenyan was still in shock, her face as white as paper. She was still recalling Ye Kuns words. Mu Feng and his people from Xi Fan cooperated... This version and Mu Chenwus, which one was the truth? The cooperation between Mu Feng and his men from Xi Fan was Yuan Familys ploy to trap Mu Feng, ording to Mu Chenwu. However, the crazed Ye Kun had no reason to lie under this circumstance. Just as she was spacing out, Zheng Shuyan asked her, Miss Mu, are you alright? Mu Chenyans arm was scratched in several areas, and the skin on her delicate neck was showing startlingly purplish bruises. What fun, now Yuan Xuan would definitely find out! Mu Chenyan was really bummed as she looked at Zheng Shuyan apologetically. Doctor Zheng, Im really sorry, I didnt mean to involve you in this! Zheng Shuyan smiled. Whats done is done, so dont be sorry. You were almost dead! Mu Chenyan sighed. I seem to have done something really bad! Yuan Xuan would not forgive me if he finds out... She had done so many things behind Yuan Xuans back. The first few times only counted as minor incidents, so Yuan Xuan could turn a blind eye to them and even used her to get things going. However, her visit to Ye Kun this time was unauthorized, and Ye Kun was Yuan Xuans secret. Even though she did not get a verbal confirmation, she could already confirm that Zhao Yanni and Ye Kun had no prior disputes. So, the one who sent her to kill Ye Kun was her own brother? Could it be that it was like Ye Kun had said, someone wanted him killed to bury a secret? Another issue was unraveled. If Mu Family did want Ye Kun killed, the only person who would transport Shu Qinger back to Luo Hai would be her brother. Knowing that, Mu Chenyans heart broke. No matter what intention on which her brother was operating, him moving Qinger to Luo Hai did implicate that he knew Qinger was alive. This old case had her locked behind bars for two years, while her own brother knew the victim was not dead... If she did not find out this on her own, she would still be in the dark from her brothers secret! Noticing the swift switches of facial expression on Mu Chenyans face, Zheng Shuyan thought she was not well. Miss Mu, let me send you home! Mu Chenyan dismissed him. Dont worry about that. I drove here. If Dean Yuan finds out about this, you would be implicated, Im really sorry, Doctor Zheng... Mu Chenyan apologized again. Zheng Shuyan sighed, Miss Mu, let me bring you to get that sanitized. Mu Chenyan looked at her arms and nodded. On the other side, a guard finished settling Ye Kun into his bed and picked up his phone. Sir, ady snuck in disguised as a nurse, Mr Ye went berserk and almost choked her to death... Mu Chenyan and Zheng Shuyan shared a nce... ... Liu Li Vi Receiving the call, Yuan Xuans irises shrank, and his brows furrowed. Is thedy hurt? After waiting for the answer, Yuan Xuans brows were almost knitted together. Let the doctor take care of her injury and send her back to Hibiscus Garden, Send someone to keep an eye on her! Yuan Xuan was enraged and looked frightening! A man stepped out of the wine cer. The white suit of him highlighted his grace as he had, in his hand, a 1982 collectors edition bottle of red wine and a cigarette in his other hand. His face was suave not less than Yuan Xuans. It may be his long-term stay out of the country that was causing his meal preference to be westernized, his bone structure to be more defined, and his muscles to be more developed. He had an air of wickedness on him. Maybe he was too attractive, to the point that the shing scar on his left cheek did not mar his appeal but only added a hint of bloodlust allure to him. Seeing Yuan Xuans expressions as well as hearing the words, Shen Muqiu could guess a little about what had happened. He gently swung the bottle of wine in a rhythmic oscition. The only thing that didnt change here is this wine cer! Knowing this man had consumed a great amount of his treasured collection in just half a month, Yuan Xuan did not want to entertain him. Shen Muqiu could recognize Yuan Xuans impatience. He inhaled from the cigarette and opened the bottle of wine. Im guessing its your Little Chili who got into trouble! Chapter 289 - What a Surprise, Your Little Chili Was Still So Adorable

Chapter 289: What a Surprise, Your Little Chili Was Still So Adorable

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shen Muqiu recognized Yuan Xuans impatience. He inhaled from the cigarette and opened the bottle of wine. Im guessing its your Little Chili who got into trouble! Yuan Xuan received the ss of red wine Shen Muqiu offered him, kept his silence, and began drinking on his own. She went to investigate Ye Kun but almost got choked to death! After a while, Yuan Xuan said lightly. What a surprise, your Little Chili was still so adorable! He smiled as he said that. Shen Muqiu was an extraordinary-looking person. His posture as he tasted the wine was so elegant, he just did not look like someone who would be called the Smiling Rakshasa that everyone feared... He had been around Europe, and almost all the countries in the vicinity had his name listed as wanted and just slightly shy of being called a terrorist. However, he had always been shrouded in mystery. He had never had his hands directly in any incidents, and his subordinates were all astute and disciplined. Even if there were the asional misstep, all his captured subordinates had their own specialized method of suicide, so the police could nevery their hands on Shen Muqiu. Yuan Xuan did not have the mood to banter with Shen Muqiu at the moment. He was set to return to Luo Hai, but Shen Muqiu called him just as he tried to leave. When do you n to let me meet her? A dark cloud crossed the mans eyes. The bloodthirsty demon had a dark heart, but no matter how much power he wields, he still had a fiery mountain that he could not cross! Yuan Xuan turned around and looked at Shen Muqiu. With a scoff, his voice came through cold and sharp. Just give up! Hearing Yuan Xuans refusal, Shen Muqius face contorted. He smiled callously. You think you can stop me? Yuan Xuan stood. His emotionless eyes looked as if it was going to send daggers. Yuan Tian had already forgotten youpletely! Dont you dare disturb her anymore! Those people out of the country couldnt do anything to you, but in Luo Hai, dont you dare touch even a strand of her hair! Shen Muqius dark eyes suddenly turned red. The man who was used to manipting even the weather suddenly felt stifled. You! You made her forget about me! He hurled his wine ss away and showed his ruthless nature. Yuan Xuan, if it were any other things, I am willing to amodate, but I will definitely take Yuan Tian with me this time! Hmph! You can certainly try! Yuan Xuan looked like a tiny universe had just exploded inside of him. He only left a sentence before leaving without even casting a second gaze backward. Shen Muqiu stared at Yuan Xuans silhouette walking away, the corner of his lips curled into an enigmatic smile... ... Mu Chenyan knew that she messed up. She did not dare show her anxiety. She stayed in Hibiscus Garden obediently the rest of the day, had meals, and went to bed early. The injured areas on her body still stung. Even though Zheng Shuyan had already disinfected the injury and applied medicine on her, they still looked quite bad. When Yuan Xuan had returned, he saw that the air-conditioner was on in the bedroom. His woman had withdrawn into her own under the nket, clearly in shock. She did not look like she was sleeping well. Her brows were furrowed, the choke scar was apparent on her fragile neck. Yuan Xuans hands lightly touched her. The fury he was suppressing the entire triping back had subsidedpletely, reced by heartbreak. It was an ache generated from the depth of his heart! He did not like the fact that she was hurt, especially the fact that she was wronged! You insolent girl, now you finally learned a lesson! Yuan Xuan clenched his teeth. He berated her in his head, yet his touch was increasingly gentler as he slowly soothed the bruises... Ye Kuns mental state was not stable, that had to do with the inhumane experiences he had endured. Yuan Xuan remembered the other time that Ye Kun lost control, he could not even recognize him, so Yuan Xuan did not me him. In her dreams, Mu Chenyan felt the warm touch on her arms and shook. Her voice quivered a little as she muttered under her breath. Brother, Yuan Xuan, all of you were... lying to me... Yuan Xuans finger stopped at her brows and smoothed the brows that were tightly knit together. I didnt want you to know, so why do you have to go investigate? Cant you be obedient for once? Yuan Xuan whispered in her ear... Chapter 290 - Don’t Be Shy. I’m at Mistress’ Disposal

Chapter 290: Dont Be Shy. Im at Mistress Disposal

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This woman, as a result of the trauma, had sessfully caused herself to be down with a fever! Yes, she was that useless! The fever depleted Mu Chenyan of her energy and made her groggy. She woke up in the middle of the night and teared up. Youre all liars! Youre all liars! Mu Chenyan sobbed and wiped her snot with a corner of the nket. Not feeling satisfied, she grabbed a corner of Yuan Xuans pajamas to blow her nose as well. Yuan Xuan was exhausted from caring for her and sat by the bed to nap a little. He was not aware that his pajamas had been contaminated... As her nose was relieved, Mu Chenyan felt much better, but upon seeing the side of Yuan Xuans face, she could not help but sob again. The inexplicable sobs woke Yuan Xuan up from the bed. He noticed that the woman who was groggy from the fever had an unusual redness on her face. Her eyes were teary, and her hands were shivering. He was shocked and immediately pulled her into his embrace. Dont be afraid! Little Chenyan, Im here to protect you... Mu Chenyan did not know why she was crying. She just felt upset and miserable and that she would only feel better by crying and letting it out. She hugged Yuan Xuans arm and sniveled, and her snot smeared his arm. Yuan Xuan did not scorn but let her vent out freely. She slept, woke up, and slept again. She did not eat much during the daytime, and those that she barely swallowed were vomited out. After having her meal, Ah Fu served up a bowl of medicine soup. The moment Mu Chenyan saw it she was so terrified that she teared up. No medicine... Bitter! Mu Chenyan was rather rational during the usual days, but after falling sick, she had turned aroundpletely. That manner of hers was of one who would fight to death and could be dragged out to be flogged 20 times! Yuan Xuan was mad, annoyed, and felt sorry for her. He was like torturing himself as he coaxed, Little Chenyan, be a good girl. You take a sip, and Ill take a sip. Hearing that, Mu Chenyan thought that the idea was good. At least, she could drink only half of it. After taking a sip, sheid on the bed and stared at Yuan Xuan, looking just like Little Ginger Fur Ball. Yuan Xuan had no other way. His lips pressed lightly together. Even a healthy person needed to take medicine, the patient must be seriously sick. Mu Chenyan was pleased, and she took another sip... Yuan Xuan thought about what would happen after they had a daughter. He would have to care for two little women, and he wondered what kind of scene would it be. Daughter? Thinking of this, Yuan Xuan became somewhat excited. If their daughter were to resemble Mu Chenyan, how delightful it would be to be cuddling one on the left and embracing another on the right... Thinking of daughter, his body was in a state of incitement, and he wanted to have a baby! He must have been bewitched by her, instigating him tomit the crime whenever and wherever. Especially now that she was looking all delicate and pitiful, he only felt like bullying her even more fiercely... However, Yuan Xuan was very rational. In this kind of state, how could he do it? Watching Mu Chenyan suffering, his heart ached for her intensely. Mu Chenyan had no idea that on this night, Yuan Xuan had gotten up numerous times to wipe her sweat away. By the time she was fully awake, it was already two dayster. Those who were drunk would not have a worse reaction than Mu Chenyan. Her memory waspletely nk, and she had no idea how much she had been courting death. Early in the morning, Ah Fu prepared a light breakfast. Mu Chenyan had just finished a bowl of porridge when Yuan Xuan walked downstairs and adjusting his cor at the same. From today onwards, Little Chenyan, you have to be secluded and meditate for some time. Mu Chenyan could hear that it was an order rather than a discussion. Ive recovered! Take a look. My bodys all fine... Mu Chenyan tried to turn the plot around. She wanted to fight for her rights of not having to be confined. Yuan Xuan coldly eyed her, hisrge hands lifted her chin, and his dull voice spat out the words one by one, Ive made myself clear. Theres no need for you to argue. During this period, dont you try to walk out of Hibiscus Garden again! You secretly went to the hospital, and I havent hold you ountable for it. What else do you want? Mu Chenyan could see the anger raging in the mans eyes, and she became silent. When Yuan Xuan saw that she had recovered, there was no need for him to tolerate her anymore. He would no longer relent but would rant when needed to... Watching the back of the man leaving, she refused toply but she also dared not voice out. However, even if she could not go outside, it did not mean that she could not get hold of the news in the outside world. Yuan Tian received Mu Chenyans message and replied to her that all was well. Ye Kun had regained his sanity and was back to his apathetic manner, bing even quieter than before. Yuan Tangshuo dared not let the outside world stimte Ye Kun again, hence stricter conditions were imposed on the doctors who entered the ward. She herself was scolded by her father and ordered to not approach Ye Kuns ward. Although Zheng Shuyan had it better, not getting reprimanded did not mean that he was off the hook. Yuan Tangshuo ordered the poor man to do social work for a week, and so he missed the chance to help Wen Ya change her bandage. Mu Chenyan felt uneasy in her heart. Not to mention her reckless action this time, the mystery had only gotten deeper, and she did not even take Yuan Xuans warning to heart. Yuan Tian, youve got to help me. Mu Chenyan figured that if she was confined at home, the only person who could help her was probably Yuan Tian. What are you thinking of doing now? Yuan Tian was surprised. She had known Mu Chenyan for many years, but she did not know that her buddy could be this persistent. Help me find a reason, say that I need to be admitted into the hospital. Mu Chenyan pleaded to Yuan Tian. Yuan Tian was speechless. ... Yuan Xuan returned home at night and saw Mu Chenyan gloomy and unhappy. He thought that she was unwell again. Mu Chenyan answered, Indeed, I dont feel good. Having been confined for the entire day, Mu Chenyan felt as if her whole body had grown hair. Su Qingcheng noticed she did not show up for work, so she gave her a call. When she heard that it was such a situation, she replied that there was nothing she could do to help, and she fled the conversation. If you dont feel good, thene exercise with hubby? While speaking, Yuan Xuans hand began to roam about, frightening Mu Chenyan and causing her to plead with him. Yuan Xuan had only wanted to scare her. How was he willing to crush such a weak body? He had to frighten her a little so that she would not stir up trouble. Having experienced trauma, should she not remember and learn of the repercussion of her actions? She absentmindedly finished her dinner. At night, Yuan Xuan went to the study room to deal with some work, while Mu Chenyan paced back and forth outside the study room. Finally, after she had gone in and out to drink water for three times, picked up her phone twice and used I think I heard something. Ill go and check it out as an excuse, and made the fourth trip, Yuan Xuan came out of the study room and halted this woman who could not stay still... Spit it out. What do you want? Yuan Xuans lustrous eyes revealed a look that said that he was waiting for her confession. Truth be told, from the time the two had known each other up till now, Yuan Xuan was the one who had always been in the driving seat and the one who had the final say. However, this did not mean that Mu Chenyan had no thoughts of her own. On the contrary, she felt a great deal of uneasiness! Softness did not equal to fragile... Seeing Yuan Xuan being straightforward, Mu Chenyan did not beat around the bush. Whos Ye Kun actually? Whats your rtionship with him? Why does he hate the Mu Family to the core? Why does my brother want to kill Ye Kun, and what secret does he have? Mu Chenyan spouted out a string of questions. Her gaze was affixed as she put on a dauntless disy and a you-must-give-me-an-exnation expression. Yuan Xuan pondered for a moment on the sofa. The British-styled man looked gorgeous all over. From Mu Chenyans angle, he had a sultry manner. No matter how indifferent and unapproachable Yuan Xuan was on the outside, but when he was with Mu Chenyan, all his edges would be toned down. He reached out to embrace Mu Chenyan, twirling her hair with his fingers. Ye Kun was my fathers bodyguard back then, so isnt the nature of our rtionship clear? He was nearly beaten to death by your father, so him hating the Mu Family is not something bizarre, is it? As for why your brother wants Ye Kun dead, you should find Mu Chenwu and ask him yourself. Lastly, about the secret he has, I can tell you honestly that you wont be interested in it. There was nothing wrong with Yuan Xuans answers, but it was also as if he had not really exined anything. Mu Chenyan knew clearly that Yuan Xuan was deliberately avoiding the main point. She bit her lips, and hesitation was seen in her eyes. She did not know after she had raised the next question, how would it go between Yuan Xuan and her, but she could not resist it. Ye Kun says that Mu Feng worked in collusion with the Xi Fan people and caused the death of your father. Is this true? Mu Chenyans voice was quivering. No matter what the end result was, she and Yuan Xuan would have it hard to wind up the matter. Yuan Xuans clear eyes stared at Mu Chenyan, his lips pursed into a beautiful arch. He swept his gaze across Mu Chenyans face, and suddenly, the man carried her up and pressed her down onto the big ck bed. Mu Chenyan panicked. She pushed her hands against his heavy and sturdy body, intending to resist, but Yuan Xuansrge hands grabbed her tiny hands and pinned them above her head on the bed. Yuan Xuan, you havent answered me... Ahh... Before Mu Chenyan had finished her words, her corbone was bitten hard by him. It was so painful that Mu Chenyan wanted to tear up, but she would not yield. She lifted her knees and held them against Yuan Xuans waist. Yuan Xuan noticed her intention and pressed down on her, his legs forcing her knees to part, and his body bore down on her seamlessly... At this moment, she really could not close her legs together. Mu Chenyan was afraid of this pose. Although they were both wearing clothes, the material of their pajamas was rather thin. Hence, she could sense clearly the changes in his body. Yuan Xuan, youre ignoring the important points and focusing on the minor things. You havent answered me... Ahh... Mu Chenyan had notpleted her sentence when her towering part was unceremoniously bitten by Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan dark and deep gaze looked into Mu Chenyans eyes. In his constricted pupils, the cold gaze was filled with an overbearing expression. If you dare to ask any more questions, Ill continue! Yuan Xuan did not speak, but his eyes were telling her this fact! Mu Chenyan refused to give in, and her tone was filled with a great deal of dissatisfaction. Youre not saying anything. Are you avoiding the question? You... When Yuan Xuan saw that she was unrepentant and kept pursuing this topic relentlessly, he was somewhat irked. Initially, he had looked upon the fact that since she had just recovered from a major illness, her body was still in a weak state, hence he did not want to do her. However, this woman was really stubborn! Yuan Xuan said nothing. His lowered his head and pecked her neck continuously. It was not painful, but it was very itchy... Mu Chenyan could not help but moaned! Realizing that she had been aroused by him, Mu Chenyan bit her lower lips and the suppressed sound turned into a muffled moan, which only encouraged Yuan Xuans lust. Since you have such energy to question non-stop, then you should just exercise with me! Hearing that, Mu Chenyan said nothing, but her eyes were filled with rage! She hated herself for not being able to resist his provocation. Yuan Xuan always had a way to make her surrender easily. How stubborn! The man said like he was sighing. He picked up her scattered hair by the side and tugged at it lightly, feeling the smoothness of it. What good is there for you to unt boldness? Mu Chenyan was speechless. You can plead with me. Hubby will be gentleter on. Shameless! What a strong-willed woman! Ive really underestimated you previously. Mu Chenyan clearly knew that if she was unyielding in her words, her body would have to suffer. However, she could not bear the fact that Yuan Xuan was restricting her in all areas. She was not allowed to question and not allowed to investigate, but he knew everything while she was kept in the dark! As her mind wandered off, the man easily turned her over. His warm palm went into her shirt and held onto her waist, gently kneading. You were down with a fever a few days back. Do you feel sore all over your body? Yuan Xuan changed the topic, and the gentle force from his hands continued as he said, Hubby will give you a massage in case you say that I only know how to bully you. Mu Chenyan had to admit that this massage was indeed extremelyfortable. She had suffered soreness from muscle stiffness for two days. The massage loosened up her tight muscles, and Mu Chenyans brows slowly rxed. However, as the soreness disappeared, she quickly realized a critical issue. Although Yuan Xuan was not sitting on her, he was leaning very close to her. Every time he moved a little, he would brush past her backside... Although he did not do it intentionally, it was... really ufortable. I feel... alright now... You dont need me to massage a little more? My skills are not bad, right? No need... Mu Chenyans tone was a little hasty. Her face was already red, and it was sweet-looking and enticing. The man chuckled. Dont be shy. Im at Mistress disposal. I really dont want it anymore. Then what do you want? Mu Chenyan was speechless. Just when Mu Chenyan was distracted, the world before her eyes whirled around. This time, he was lying on the bed while she was on top of him. How does Mistress feel about this? Yuan Xuans gaze became misty. Nothing much. Mu Chenyan would not admit that she was scared and... anticipating! Her eyes were filled with various difiture and avoidance. She pressed her hands on his chest as she attempted to get down from him. The mans gaze deepened, and it became dark and unpredictable. He suddenly got up and went down from the bed. Mu Chenyan did not know where did he head to. She sat on the bed stupefied. Pinching her hot cheeks and recalling the scene from just now, her heart was thumping non-stop. Yuan Xuan returned a whileter, and in his hand was a wine ss. He opened a bottle of wine and poured the red liquid into the transparent wine ss. In the quietness, the sound of the flowing liquid was extraordinarily clear. Mu Chenyan watched the mans gentle and elegant movements, and she held her breath. Yuan Xuan turned around and swayed the wine ss in his hand. Mu Chenyan saw the smile in Yuan Xuans eyes, and when that dangerous aura came close to her, her heart skipped a beat. The man said nothing but ced the ss at her mouth. Take a few sips. Its good for relieving fatigue and you wont say youre tired after just a while... Yuan Xuans tone was soft and gentle, but Mu Chenyan was aware of his intention. He was telling her that he must have her tonight! Yuan Xuan...I wont ask anymore... Only now did Mu Chenyan want to retreat. She knew that on this matter, Yuan Xuan was the one who was in power. The man smirked and slowly lifted the wine ss, pouring the wine into Mu Chenyans mouth. She had only taken a sip and then she was choked by the pungent taste of the wine and began coughing hard. Cough, cough... Little Chenyan bend over to dodge, her small face immediately turned red from the stimtion of the alcohol. The man lifted her chin, raised the ss and contained the wine in his mouth. He then leaned forward and pressed onto her lips, forcefully passing the wine into her mouth. The alcohol consumed earlier on had begun to take effect. Mu Chenyan felt dizzy from the wine, and for a split moment, she had forgotten the inner conflict she had and intuitively swallowed the scorching liquid. In her stomach, there was like a ball of fire raging and a burning sensation... Mu Chenyan turned her face aside to refuse his kiss. The kiss missed and was nted on the side of her neck. The man put down the winess and pressed down on her, murmuring softly into her ear. Little Chenyan, theres no need for you to know much. Just remember the present feeling. Its all my love to you. ... The thrust that Yuan Xuan gave her had a sense of dominance, love, constrain, and contentment... Chapter 291 - Shen Muqiu Once Held a Girl Dearly in His Heart. She Was from the Yuan Family

Chapter 291: Shen Muqiu Once Held a Girl Dearly in His Heart. She Was from the Yuan Family

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Throughout the night, Mu Chenyan would feel like she was momentarily floating above the clouds, but in the next moment, she would feel like she was thrown into the bottom of a valley. She was pinned down by Yuan Xuan, as she lost herself little by little... Little Chenyan, never ask those questions again. Next time, well do it each time you ask. After all, if you have the strength to ask, Ill have the strength to do it. If you want to be finished off by me, then feel free to keep asking!! As the man finished his words, he did not forget to conclude with something threatening. Mu Chenyan waspletely drained. Her eyes were half-shut, filled with mist. Yuan Xuans warm breath flowed by her ear. Understand? The woman whimpered and said nothing. Baby, do you understand? Tell me! Do you understand!? Ah... Ill... Ill remember that... Mu Chenyan gasped and replied tearfully. Yuan Xuan smiled in his eyes. This man had enjoyed a sumptuous feast, yet he still forced her into a corner! Mu Chenyan did not dare to unt bravery with her words, but she resisted in her heart! Ill remember it in your dreams! Huh! ... Liu Li Vi Shen Muqiu had changed into a ck sports suit with a dark cap. The man was handsome, standing tall and straight. He walked toward his Land Rover Evoque, and his confidant, Min Yang, followed in his heels. This young man had a cool aura about him. He was only in his twenties, yet his voice had a sense of agedness and hoarseness that did not match his age. He asked in a low voice, Sir! Where are you going? To the hospital! Shen Muqiu did not bother to lift his gaze; his cold and arrogant mannerpletely undisguised. You dont have to follow me. Ill go on my own! Min Yang reached out and blocked the door with his arm. Sir, you cant be alone. Youre well aware of how dangerous it is to appear in front of the public just like that... Shut up! Shen Muqiu chided angrily. His eyes were a shade of blood red, and the corner of his lips twitched as he spat, Do I need your consent to go where I please now? Sir! I wouldnt dare question you! But even then, you know that many of our brothers have lost their lives to protect you. You cant let those brothers die in vain just because of your waywardness! Min Yangs height was about the same as Shen Muqiu, and his bearing did not lose out to his master. His gaze was firm, unlike the usual docile-looking aides he had. His tone was nd, but it had a sense of forcefulness in it as well. Shen Muqiu gritted his teeth and red at Min Yang. Rage consumed the mans rationality, but he kept it in check. He only stared at the boy in front of him. Scram! Sir, I cannot allow you to go out alone. Ill go with you! If anyone wants to harm you, better than they harm me instead of you! Min Yang was ever insistent. Your brother and father have already fucking died for me. How can I let you die for me too? ? Shen Muqiu spoke with dreariness as his tone softened. Min Yang nodded with all seriousness Generations of The Min family will give up their lives for the Shen family! Shen Muqiu relented at this. He held the door and sighed before retrieving a cigarette from his pocket. Seeing this, Min Yang quickly lit it up for him. Sir, why do you want to go to the hospital? Shen Muqiu took a deep breath and blew out a long plume of smoke. He then said inly, Yuan Xuan said that Yuan Tian has forgotten about me. Min Yang nodded. He knew that Shen Muqiu once held a girl dearly in his heart, and she was from the Yuan family! This was one of the reasons why Shen Muqiu had made every attempt to approach Yuan Xuan and to coborate with him back then in Ennd. So you want to go to the hospital to see her? Min Yang made a guess. Shen Muqiu released another puff of smoke, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stamped on it with his foot. Ill go with you! Although Luo Hai is safer than it is overseas, dont forget, Sir, that those whore aware that you are a descendant of the Shen family are still alive! We cant take it lightly! Shen Muqiu nodded. He knew the descendants of the Min family extremely well. Ever since his grandfathers generation, the Min family had been walking in step with them. All of their generations had worked as bodyguards to protect their masters. In order to save the young Shen Muqiu back then, Min Yangs father had died in the hands of the enemy. In Italy, Min Yangs elder brother had also lost his life in a fight while protecting Shen Muqiu from danger. Of the Min family, only Min Yang was left. If he did not bring Min Yang along, he might not be able to make it out of Liu Li Vi. The Land Rover crossed the Wintry Lake and headed for the military hospital. ... Fuck! Whats so terrific about the Yuan family? When my father went in, he was well and alive. Now you tell me that the operation has failed? I want to see your dean, and bring me the female doctor... Call her out! Doctors are killing people in cold blood! Theres no justice! Give me back my husband... Gathered at the entrance of the cardiology surgery room in the military hospital was a group of the patients family members. They were extremely emotional, shouting and congesting the entire ward. A few security guards and male doctors blocked the door to prevent them from rushing inside. In general, the hospital was only open to military officers, their family members, and qualified military district leaders. A few years back, the hospital had expanded in scale, and the resources of the military were integrated into one spot? Coupled with the fact that Yuan Tangshuo was a person with a righteous cause, he had repeatedly mentioned to the higher-ups for the hospital to receive more diversified patients, so that the resources avable could be better utilized. As a result, the hospital gradually developed into a general hospital, and its range of patients gradually expanded, benefiting the people atrge. This hospital was funded by the Yuan family to begin with, and Yuan Tangshuo was in-charge of it. The hospitals technology and equipment were also at the cutting edge, hence it was very famous in Luo Hai. The military hospital never had a medical dispute. What happened today was truly surprising. The surgeon is Doctor Yuan. I heard that the expert consultation at that time was unwilling to ept this case as the sess rate of this operation was only 5%. However, Doctor Yuan took pity on the family and picked up the case. Who knew.... Sigh! Those who are pathetic must have a cause for having sunk this low. Had she known this would be the oue, she wouldnt have taken in the patient. The person was going to die anyway, but now she had brought trouble on herself... In my opinion, its also the doctors own problem, taking advantage of her position as the daughter of the Dean... Dont spout nonsense. If the Dean hears it, the consequence will be unbearable! Doctor Yuan doesnt even have a proper degree. What qualification does she have to be a surgeon in the hospital? You cant talk like that. Although Doctor Yuan has no education, she has been following the Dean around the world, attending various academic reports and seminars and umting practical experience. Shes not unskilled at all... A few nurses who understood the inside story whispered among themselves. Yuan Tian had been dragged into the lounge by her colleague and was hiding there. She had heard the noise outside, and she did not even have the time to take off the bloody surgical gown on her. Her head drooped, and traces of dismal tears were spotted in the corner of her eyes. Doctor Yuan, before the operation, Teacher Wang and Teacher Zhou had already evaluated the sess rate of this operation to be extremely low, so its normal for this kind of situation to arise. You dont need to take it to heart. Assistant Ye Minforted softly. Not to mention the family members have signed the informed consent form before the operation and have recorded the video on agreeing to ept the risk of surgery. The reason for themotion theyre making is none other than money... She had been by Yuan Tians side for a few years and had never seen this young surgeon in such a sorry state. Chapter 292 - Flaming Whiskey

Chapter 292: ming Whiskey

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian was a kind-hearted doctor. She seemed blunt on the surface but this was probably the first time a sensitive girl like her experienced such a blow. Ye Min, perhaps this patient wouldve lived for a few more months if we hadnt taken him in... Yuan Tians voice was faint while her tears rolled down uncontrobly. This was the first time someone died on Yuan Tians operating table. She doubted herself for a moment and wondered if she was a doctor, or perhaps a mere executioner who brandished a scalpel... Ye Mins heart also hurt when she saw Yuan Tians sorrowful expression. She took some tissues and gently wiped Yuan Tians face. Doctor Yuan, dont say that. There are many people whom youve saved who continue to think of you as an angel. This ident isnt your fault! The traces of blood had already dried up on the surgical gloves still on Yuan Tians hands. The crimson blood that stained Yuan Tians surgical gown made her a ghastly sight, but the thought to removed them escaped her. She had not thought to remove them. Security had tightened outside, along with the military which was also in full force. The rioters were hastily removed from the hospital, and Yuan Tangshuo sent her representatives to meet the family. When he returned, the man questioned the people around him, before he rushed to the lounge in the operating theater after hearing that Yuan Tian was still there. Tian Tian? Yuan Tangshuo tried to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside. Ye Min quickly opened the door when she realized that it was Director Yuan. Yuan Tangshuo was over fifty years old, but he had spent most of the year at the hospital despite the demanding pressure of his work. He was already balding, but the Yuan Familys genes made his attractiveness apparent throughout his appearance. Father... Yuan Tian pursed her lips. When she saw Yuan Tangshuo entering, she threw herself on him and cried uncontrobly. Father, arent I... the most useless... Growing up, Yuan Tian was always filled with wild ambition. She stirred up various kinds of unusual trouble that frequently roused her mothers anger. She rarely gained the Old Mistresss favor because of the mishaps that she had caused constantly. To her family, she was the unique one. Despite everything, Yuan Tian had never shed a tear, much less doubted herself. Todays incident had tested her indeed. Yuan Tangshuo gingerly caressed his daughters head and quietly consoled her. Never. Youve always been exceptional to me! Yuan Tian sobs worsened when she heard that. Father, Ive always disappointed you. Are you just saying these things tofort me? Yuan Tangshuo could not help butugh. What do you mean? Yuan Tian wiped her tears and sobbed. Im not academically qualified, and I have an unorthodox background. I learned everything from you yet an incident like this happened today... Yuan Tangshuo was usually very demanding towards Yuan Tian, but unlike her mother Lu Shan, he rarely spoke to her. In terms of education, he valued first-hand experience more for Yuan Tians development. It was my fault that you didnt go to university. If you want to study, I can arrange for you to further your education overseas. Yuan Tangshuo had never spoken in such a gentle tone before. Yuan Tian rubbed her eyes and sniffled. Father, I wasntining, I just felt like Ive embarrassed you. Yuan Tangshuo smiled. Doctors arent gods. Deaths on the operating table arent things that doctors like to see either. Professor Zhou said that the sess rate of this operation was extremely low to begin with, so Im very much in awe of your perseverance. They wouldve gone to a different hospital if you hadnt agreed to this operation. For some reason, Yuan Tians heart was greatly relieved when she heard her fathers words. She rubbed her nose and said, The family... Ill take care of that! Upon saying that, Yuan Tangshuo turned to Ye Min and said, Doctor Ye, please take Yuan Tian out for a good time. You can leave early today. Ye Min gleefully epted her task when she heard that. Thank you, Director Yuan! * Shen Muqius car was parked at the entrance of the inpatient ward. Ming Yang turned his head and said to him, Sir, Miss Yuans car is moving. . 1 . Shen Muqiu bent his body forward as he fixed his gaze on the woman in the passengers seat. He whispered, Follow her! Ye Min drove as Yuan Tian was not in the right state to do so. She naturally undertook this responsibility because the director had entrusted her to take Yuan Tian out to have fun and relieve her stress. The car stopped at Ninth Mile Singing Pub. Yuan Tian had visited this ce with her female friends or coworkers to have fun drinking and dancing. They would always forget their troubles after letting loose here for a while. Why are we here? Yuan Tian had fallen asleep in the car. When she opened her eyes and saw Ninth Mile Singing Pub, she rubbed them and asked Ye Min. You never get to leave work early, so lets have a drink. Were you nning to go home, bury yourself under the covers and sleep? Ye Min pulled Yuan Tian out of the car while she spoke. Someone just died and Im enjoying myself here... Yuan Tian was still slightly hesitant. She raised her head and saw that posters advertising a singer were disyed above the door. The Ninth Mile Singing Pub had invited a currently well-known online personality over to increase their poprity. Yuan Tian had been quite interested in this male celebrity for a period of time before this. I brought you to a bustling ce like this to meet people because you were having such a bad day. But we dont have to fool around, we can go home after weve had a few drinks! Ye Min was a few years older than Yuan Tian. She was Yuan Tians surgical assistant who frequently came out to have fun because her workload was usually somewhat lighter than Yuan Tians. Yuan Tians steps were sluggish, so Ye Min dragged her into the bar. The bar was rather empty. This was a time when it was less buy; when the evening show was scheduled. However, several people who gathered in groups had already started to down their drinks. Under the bright lights of the debauched environment were numerous mboyantly dressed young people with contrasting appearances. Some of them even nced at Yuan Tians direction. Ye Min and Yuan Tian chose their bar stools before the bartender came over to serve them. Two ming Whiskeys! Ye Min snapped her fingers. Smiling, the server said, One moment! The server hurriedly brought over two sses of glittering and translucent blue liquid and ced them on the bar counter. He held a lighter in each hand and ignited both sses of liquid. Five secondster, he used a red cloth made of special material to cover and extinguish the mes, before turning to Ye Min and Yuan Tian, saying, Enjoy,dies! Yuan Tians alcohol tolerance was alright but she rarely drank hot and exciting drinks like this ming Whiskey. Ye Min took hers and finished it in one gulp. Yuan Tian raised her ss as well before the burning sensation instantly flowed through her esophagus and into her stomach. Thats addictive! Ill have another ss! Ye Min became livelier when she drank. Yuan Tian smiled but remained silent, fully aware that she was putting everything on the line to participate in this activity. Ye Min started to lose control of herself once she had downed her third drink. The air conditioning in the bar was clearly running properly, but the two women felt so warm that they wanted to strip. They happily drank until they were dripping wet. Meanwhile, several people had already fixed their gazes on Yuan Tian and Ye Min long ago. Hey! Look, isnt that your girl Tian? Chen Yu was speaking. Yan Jiangsheng immediately turned back to look when he heard Chen Yu mentioning Yuan Tian. The petite woman who was leaning against the bar counter had certainly drunk till her eyes were zed over. She wore a short t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. When the woman raised her arms, her t-shirt bunched up into a crop top that revealed a section of her pale t midriff, making it impossible for the several men around her not to do a double take. Yan Jiangsheng could not stop his temper from ring up when he saw that. He threw the cards out of his hands and said, You guys can keep ying, Im going over to take a look! Chapter 293 - Tian Tian, I’m Finally Back…

Chapter 293: Tian Tian, Im Finally Back...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion A girl at the side saw Yan Jiangsheng walking over and immediately jumped out of the sofa to grab him. Ah Sheng, why are you going there? Yuan Tian, she... Let go, Yao Yue! I just want to go and have a look. She drank too much and Im afraid that it might be dangerous for her to be in such a chaotic ce! Yan Jiangsheng had blond hair and a cold, aloof look on his handsome face. He nced at the woman who was grabbing him and she flinched from the look in his eyes. Lian Yao Yue insisted on not letting go of her hands as she bit her lower lips. The beautiful girl nced towards Yuan Tian, and hints of hatred appeared in her eyes. The others who were ying cards saw what happened and they tried to soothe the tension, Forget it, Ah Sheng. You should stop thinking about your cutie-pie, otherwise, Little Yue will be unhappy... Yeah! That cutie-pies brother is not someone that you should mess around with, so she should be fine. If youre still worried, you can just watch over her from here... I still remember the time when we went to the Yuan Family Mansion when we were younger. The Third Young Master Yuan told his guard to let the dogs out and chase after us. He was truly ruthless! Lian Yao Yue saw how the others were standing on her side, so she continued to behave recklessly, I wont let you go! The words only made Yan Jiangsheng even more annoyed. He shook his hands off Lian Yao Yues grip and said coldly, yet somehow apologetically, Yao Yue, sit here for a while, Ill be right back. Yuan Tian could not remember clearly how many sses had she drank. The saying, having a terrible teammate is worse than having an excellent teammate was truly fitting for someone like Ye Min. She asked Ye Min to bring her out to have some fun, yet she got herself drunk instead? Yuan Tian leaned on the top of the bar counter and saw that Ye Min was still quite sober. A few people came over to talk to her and it seemed like they were people that she knew. Yuan Tian was feeling a little low-spirited, How can I be this dumb? I cant even win you in drinking! Ah... Before she couldplete her sentence, Yan Jiangsheng grabbed her soft flexible waist and pulled her into his arms. Yuan Tian sobered up a little from being frightened. Right when she was about to wave her fist furiously. Whos having funny ideas with me? She turned around and saw Yan Jiangsheng. At that instance, her ssic sweet smile quickly appeared on her tiny little face, Wow! Its you, big white bunny! As she spoke, she leaned her body towards Yan Jiangsheng and put her arms around his neck. Then, she rested her head on his shoulder ambiguously and obediently, My buddy, big white bunny. Come, have a drink with me... Yan Jiangsheng frowned and said softly, Have you lost your mind? Youre already this drunk and youre still drinking? Follow me, Ill send you home! Ye Min noticed that he was someone that Yuan Tian knew, so she continued to chat with the others smilingly. After Yuan Tian heard that he wanted to send her home, she nodded obediently, Okay! Its good to go home... Then, Ill go home after you have a drink with me! After saying that, she took the ss of alcohol and handed it to Yan Jiangsheng, Use my cup so that well have an indirect kiss, okay? Yan Jiangsheng was neither mad nor irritated since he knew that Yuan Tian had always been like this. Despite all her teasing and flirting, she had only ever seen him as her buddy in her heart... Yuan Tian! Yan Jiangshengs voice became hoarse and the look in his eyes darkened. His throat trembled slightly as he warned her slowly, yet coldly, If you want to kiss me, you can do it directly! Yuan Tian heard it and the look on her face changed in fright. Then, she loosened her arms around his neck, Hehe, Im just... jo-joking... Well, Im not! Yan Jiangsheng did not have a hint ofughter on his face. Moreover, his cool looks attracted the attention of a few girls around him. They secretly drooled over such a handsome man and looked at Yuan Tian like a nuisance hanging around him... Who gave you the nerve? A cold hoarse voice was hearding from behind them. Right at that moment, Yuan Tians soft body was being pulled over by that man. Yuan Tian bumped into that mans chest. Suddenly, she felt sore in her nose and she was so close to tearing up. She raised her head and saw the man who pulled her away. He had a light scar on her left cheek yet he did not look ferocious. On the contrary, he looked dangerously handsome and the scar was an addition to his irresistible looks... The mans breaths were as though the ones of a beast. He looked wild, dangerous, and extremely aggressive... Yuan Tian felt her heart tremble slightly and she intuitively wanted to escape from his arms! She did not recognize this man. For someone with courage like hers, she was never afraid of anyones vition. After all, she had beaten up quite a number of men to teach them a lesson. However, this man made her feel nothing but fear in her heart... Tian Tian... That man could see the fear in Yuan Tians blurry, misty eyes, so he whispered into her ears softly, Do you still remember me? His warm and distracting breath blew onto the side of her ear. The ticklish and numb feeling made Yuan Tians body shiver slightly. She shook her head and pushed that man with her little hands so that he would not lean too close to her. She then said with her trembling voice, No... I dont want to... She heard a howling voice from a corner deep inside her heart and her instinct to escape made her look at the man who was embracing her while she trembled. Let go of her! Who are the two of you? Yan Jiangsheng noticed that Yuan Tian did not know the two of them, so he reached his hands out to pull her away. Unfortunately, Ming Yang, who was standing at the side, grabbed Yan Jiangshengs hand and threatened him with a low voice, Leave, if you do not wish to die! Back in the day, Yan Jiangsheng was also not someone to be messed around with. He did restrain himself, but it did not mean that he was one to be afraid of getting into trouble. Thus, he grabbed a beer bottle from the table next to him and smashed it without demur... The people that came along with Yan Jiangsheng saw him making a move, so they quickly put the cards down and rushed over... Chen Muqiu did not stay to watch the fight. After all, Ming yang had undergone professional training done by the Special Forces and he had no trouble in fighting against ten of them. Thus, that man carried Yuan Tian away. In addition to having a tall build, his strength overpowered her so greatly that her resistance felt just like a mosquito bite to him... * Third Young Master Yuan, your sister... Was... Kidnapped by a mysterious man in ck... Yan Jiangsheng had a cold look and a wounded face. He remained silent as he watched his little buddy calling Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan jumped out of the chair after hearing that. He took a deep puff from his cigar while he strode back and forth, Where are you guys? By the time Yuan Xuan rushed to Nine Meters Long Song Bar, the scene was already a mess. Even though the manager of the bar wasining to Yan Jiangsheng, the handsome man said calmly regardless of the bruises on the face, Boss Du, put everything into my bill. Calcte how much money youve lost and Ill send someone to deliver it to you. Yan Jiangsheng raised his head and saw Yuan Xuans gloomy face. He shook his hands free while Yao Yue was cleaning the wound on his hand. Then, he said briefly, Lets go, the almighty Third Young Master Yuan is here! Yuan Xuan saw Yan Jiangsheng the moment he entered the bar and he frowned. Yan Jiangsheng knew that Yuan Xuan was never a fan of Yuan Tian hanging out with the few of them. Hence, he walked past Yuan Xuan without paying any attention to him. Get me the surveince tape! In fact, Yuan Xuan already had an idea on who was the one behind it, but he still came to the bar to verify his spections. * It was already veryte when Chen Muqiu left with Yuan Tian. They did not return to the Liu Li Vi and Ming Yang used his spare identification to book a long term deluxe suite. Chen Muqiu had prepared beforehand and he told the hotel staff to turn off the surveince camera in ces where he appeared. The staff from the hotel saw the overwhelming aura around this man, so they dared not offend him. Although there were many people like Chen Muqiu who carried himself with elegance and temperament of a noble, his eyes were filled with a blood-thirsty murderous intent. Yuan Tian fell asleep and she was being ced on the bed by Chen Muqiu. Her fair and delicate little face radiated a seductive sheen while she was asleep. Chen Muqiu sighed and said softly, Tian Tian, Im finally back... Chapter 294 - Additional Chapter for the Day

Chapter 294: Additional Chapter for the Day

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Xuan saw the figure of the man in the surveince, he immediately knew it was Shen Muqiu, without a doubt. As he left with Tian Qi. he ordered Yan Jun to first head to Liu Li Vi to secure the area. When Shen Muqiu saw that Yuan Xuan had lost no time in calling him, a callous smile emerged in the corner of his lips. Yuan Xuan, my apologies foring uninvited. I had to, since you wouldnt allow me to see her. Shen Muqius words were little, but he spoke in a reasonable manner, even though it was he who had acted arbitrarily. Shen Muqiu, youre ying with fire! Yuan Xuan said inly. Send Yuan Tian back and I wont hold this matter against you. Otherwise, you wont live to see another day in Luohai! Haha, does Third Young Master Yuan think Im that easily frightened? Shen Muqiu the man who had been hovering between life and death, heard Yuan Xuan subtly threatening him, and replied with an unconcerned tone. Yuan Xuan sat in the car, casting his gloomy gaze outside the window. Its fine if you dont give a damn, but Ill remind you; dont forget that your group of brothers are still at Liu Li Vi, and that includes the inheritance left by your father! Yuan Xuan finished his words and paused for a moment to give Shen Muqiu some time to think. He then went on to say. If you dare touch Yuan Tian, you can kiss those goodbye! As those words fell on Shen Muqius ears, even the sound of him gritting his teeth could be heard by Yuan Xuan through the speaker. Yuan Xuan, arent you ruthless ? Shen Yuqius tone was very light, masking any emotion he might have had within. His fists, however, were clenched hard as the murderous aura that emanated from him. Shen Muqiu, I believe Yuan Tians kidnapping tonight was a spur-of-the-moment act, was it not? Yuan Xuan thought back to seeing Yan Jiangsheng in the bar, and he had a slight notion of what had happened. People like Shen Muqiu would not start a fight with a few ignorant brats. However, if it involved Yan Tian, Yuan Xuan had reason to believe that Shen Muqiu might even murder someone. Youre back in Luohai for a mission. Uncle Shen was wronged back then, but youre not putting your mind into reversing the verdict, and instead, you got entangled with your personal romance... Enough! Shen Muqiu paced about in the room as Yuan Xuans criticisms continued. , Know this. I will not let you or the Yuan family stop me from taking this woman! ! His angry voice caused the little woman sleeping on the bed to be uneased, and Yuan Tian stirred in her sleep. The moment Shen Muqiu saw that, he rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and suppressed his voice. I just want to stay with her for a night. Enough with the talk about principles and whatnot. Ill have someone send her back tomorrow! ... Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuan returning indoors. his face one of unbearable gloom and unsightliness. She had overheard the call Yuan Xuan had received before he left, and as such had an inkling that this had something to do with Yuan Tian. During the time when Yuan Xuan was away, she was bursting at the seams with anxiety she was unable to sit still. She hastily strode up the moment Yuan Xuan came home and forced the question. What happened to Big Tian? Im almost scared to death... Yuan Xuan pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace and saw that her face had paled out of fright. He recalled that he had forgotten to inform her when he left and understood her concerns. Its nothing! Dont worry! Shell be back tomorrow. Yuan Xuan took a cursory look at his mobile phone. No missed calls. He could not help but sigh in defeat. This woman; she could be exceptionally well-behaved when she was obedient. Not a single call, even when she was worried sick. She had chosen instead to well in her anxiety and wait quietly in her home. Little Chenyan, if theres ever another situation in the future that causes you to so worried you cant sleep, you can always call me. Yuan Xuans voice was a sentimental one. Mu Chenyan was stunned for a moment. She then smiled bitterly. I thought you wouldnt have told me anything, and that youd ignore my worries anyway, so I didnt think of calling you... Yuan Xuans heart was gently prodded. He tightened his arms around her as his embrace became firmer. Little Chenyan, its not that I wouldnt want you to know, its just that a lot of things would only bring you more distress once you learn of them. I want you to live with ease... Well, this doesnt exactly ease now, is it? The corner of Mu Chenyans lips curled upwards slightly. She pulled away from Yuan Xuans embrace and remarked faintly, Your actions only make me feel stupid... Yuan Xuan took in Mu Chenyans stubbornness, and a feeling of sudden helplessness overcame him. Little Chenyan, forgive me... Whats there to forgive? Mu Chenyan stared as Yuan Xuans gaze softened, yet his starry pupils remained just as resplendent as they always were. Worried that they would draw her in and forever encase her in a trance, she quickly interrupted Yuan Xuan. Itste now. We better go to bed! I still have to go to work tomorrow... Well, if you want to go out and enjoy yourself, you can do that too! Yuan Xuan set her free, just like that, which was to Mu Chenyan something both lucky and unexpected. It seemed that acting coquettishly once in a while was something good... ... Su Qingcheng was quite surprised to see Mu Chenyan disappear, only to return a few dayster. During lunch at noon, Mu Chenyan recounted the story of her visit to Ye Kun at the hospital. Su Qingcheng was taken aback. You mean to say that Zhao Yanni wanted to kill Ye Kun? Well in that case, I really should tell you that the previous investigation did implicate your brother... Su Qingcheng revealed all the ins and outs to Mu Chenyan, ignoring Wu Huais order to keep mum on the matter. Mu Chenyan felt even more dismal after hearing her out. My heads all muddled up. Who am I supposed to trust now? When Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans agony, an idea popped into her mind, and she whispered, Why dont you go to Feng Rao? Since she can give you information, it means that she can contact Mu Chenwu! The apt words enlightened Mu Chenyan, and her gaze suddenly became determined and calm. Yeah, how could I havepletely forgotten about her? Ill find Feng Rao. Maybe she knows where my brother is! Acting on her words, Mu Chenyan got off work early and messaged Yuan Xuan, saying that she would be having dinner with Su Qingcheng. Seeing that Mu Chenyan was in a hurry to look for Feng Rao, Su Qingchengmented, That womans not a simple one, you might get nothing out of this! ! Mu Chenyan smiled, Theres always n B! As she spoke, she took out something the size of a button from her bag and handed it to Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng took it and studied it. A micro-tapping device? Mu Chenyan nodded. This maye in handy. Nothing ventured nothing gained, anyway. I already have the app on my phone, so I can listen in from a certain range! Su Qingcheng smiled as she looked at Mu Chenyan and sighed. Woman, its a pity that you arent a police officer. Youre so full of ideas! My ways arepletely unorthodox. If I were police, I cant just be bugging someone, right? Su Qingcheng nodded. Thats true. The police focus on collecting evidence, but your methods are hardly scientific. Mu Chenyan waved the tapping device in her hand and chuckled as she said, Wish me luck! ... When Feng Rao received the call from Mu Chenyan, she was quite surprised. She looked at the time after hanging up the phone call. Half an hour left. Feng Rao took out another mobile phone from the drawer in her bedroom and dialed a number. The call went through, and a mans deep andzy voice sounded through the speaker. What is it? Feng Rao heard the impatience in Mu Chenwus voice and exined, Mu Chenyan asked me to meet her. Shes probably going to ask about you. What should I do? The voice on the other end was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, the man lowered his voice and sneered coldly. This sister of mine is always full of unwarranted thoughts. If you decline her, shell definitely call you up again. Just go, and follow my instructions! Chapter 295 - I Still Have Today

Chapter 295: I Still Have Today

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Feng Rao drove her bright yellow Ferrari to the Night Owl Bar, where she nned to meet Mu Chenyan. Feng Rao frequented the ce. The bar was still empty because the evening show had yet to start. Mu Chenyan chose a quieter corner. She rarely visited pubs like this. The only reason she chose this ce was to suit Feng Rao. Mu Chenyan ordered a fruity alcoholic drink. The bitterness of the alcohol was absent, having been mixed with sweet fruit juice. Feng Rao came over and saw that Mu Chenyan was unusually calm. She stared at her and assessed the situation with her gaze. When she recalled Mu Chenwus opinion of his younger sister, she could not help but mentallypliment her intelligence! Miss Feng, Im sorry for disturbing you! The drinks are on me today. Mu Chenyan waved her hand to signal to a waiter. Feng Rao sat down and ordered a ss of fruit wine as Mu Chenyan did. Her gaze shifted towards the woman opposite her Its fine. I thought that youd havee looking for me long ago! Mu Chenyan smiled. Yes, Im not going to beat around the bush. Miss Feng, youve probably guessed that I came looking for you because of my brother. The corners of Feng Raos mouth twitched when she noticed that Mu Chenyan went straight to the point. I dont know where Mu Chenwus hiding. He came to me before and I helped him by getting you to the cemetery so that you two could meet. However, I havent seen him since! Feng Rao unhurriedly ryed the excuses she had prepared while observing Mu Chenyans reaction. Your brother said that Yuan Xuan had viciously pursued him numerous times. He had only thought of that idea because he was worried that Yuan Xuan had tapped your phone. Feng Rao took a sip of wine once she finished speaking, while Mu Chenyan nodded. If you put it that way, I can believe the things that happened before, but I dont believe that you arent in touch with my brother, Miss Feng! Mu Chenyan raised her ss and took a sip of her own. Miss Feng, you know about the precious item hidden inside my familys treasury. Surely you must know the owners whereabouts too? Feng Raos expression changed upon hearing that. Mu Chenyan, thats bullsh*t! Feng Rao reacted somewhat excessively and raised her tone, causing several people who were chatting around them to nce over. How would I know that your familys treasury was stolen? Did you hear those rumors from the people in the police department? Calm down, Miss Feng. Mu Chenyan pacified the flushed Feng Rao when she saw that the people around them had focused their attention here. It doesnt matter if youre willing to tell me, but if you can contact my brother, please tell him that I want to see him. Feng Rao sighed and shifted her gaze. Im very sorry, but I dont know how to get in touch with him. You came to the wrong person, Miss Mu. How can I contact him if you, his sister, cant even do that? Mu Chenyans anger subsided when she saw that Feng Rao was not resisting at all. She reached out and raised her wine ss. She smiled, saying, If thats the case, I wont trouble you anymore, Miss Feng. Lets drink... Mu Chenyans hand unexpectedly trembled just as she was about to ce it against her mouth. The ss slipped before its contents sttered all over Feng Rao. The wine terribly stained Feng Raos white silk dress. Oh no! Im sorry, I wasnt holding it properly. Mu Chenyan hurriedly wiped Feng Rao with some tissue as she spoke. How am I going to leave if this doesnte off? Feng Raos new dress cost several thousand dors. Her heart burned with rage when she looked at it and realized that it had to be discarded. One of her Ferraris headlights was torn off during the collision with Yuan Tians car when she had cut her off to pass Mu Chenyan a note. This time, Mu Chenyan had dirtied her dress. She was truly unfortunate. Whatever, Im going to the washroom to rinse it with water! Feng Rao rose and went to the washroom when she realized that the blue stains could not be wiped off with just tissue paper. Mu Chenyan watched Feng Rao leave with an apologetic look on her face. Feng Rao returned ten minutester. She grabbed her gold-colored Hermes satchel from the table and nodded at Mu Chenyan. My hands are tied so thats all for today. Goodbye, Miss Mu. Mu Chenyan rose and nodded in kind. Take care, Miss Feng. Feng Rao gently sighed as she exited the bar. She drove away before she parked in a corner and sent a message to Mu Chenwu. Mu Chenyan got up and left the bar as well. She believed that Feng Rao was telling the truth. If Feng Rao could locate Mu Chenwu, Yuan Xuan would have realized this long ago. He would have sent people to follow Feng Rao and track Mu Chenwu down much earlier. However, Feng Rao was surely in contact with Mu Chenwu. If she called Mu Chenwu, perhaps it meant that she had good news to share with him. When she thought of this, Mu Chenyan hoped that her luck would improve. Yan Jun called Yuan Xuan when he saw Mu Chenyans car leaving the bars parking lot. Sir, the Mistress has already gone home, while Miss Feng had left much earlier. * Yuan Tian awakened and realized that she was lying in a strange ce. There was a spacious pale blue double bed in the apartment that was decorated with French furniture. Her surroundings were eerily quiet. She certainly felt uneasy being hungover. Her head felt as though it had split in two while her entire body was exhausted. The worst part was that she had no memory ofst nights events. Yuan Tian had never gotten drunk before. This was also the first time that she had no recollection of anything. Was this a case of amnesia? Yuan Tian supported herself and sat up on the bed with much difficulty. Her body felt extremely ufortable before she was jolted by her appearance. Where are my clothes? Yuan Tian covered her chest with her hands. She was only dressed in a strappy nightgown that exposed her smooth skin to the air. She was terribly shocked by the faint but dubious purple marks that remained there. Who changed her clothes? Her bra was missing too! More importantly, what were these faint purple marks on her body? Yuan Tians heart was filled with anger and fear. Had someone vited her? Her little hands gripped the corners of the nket while she forced herself to calm down. Even if Id been vited, I still have to take care of the current situation! Ill have to take the pill as well to minimize the damage. These thoughts chaotically bounced around in Yuan Tians mind. She frantically got up and checked her private parts but there were no marks there. Aside from the faint love bites, the rest of her body did not ache abnormally. She let out a drawn-out sigh. Fear manifested in her heart. Had she encountered a pervert? She stepped barefoot on the soft fluffy carpet that covered the floor. Her disheveled hair and unkempt clothes were reflected through the floor length mirror. She wanted to weep but she had no tears left to cry. I still have today! Yuan Tian realized that she had gotten herself into trouble by getting drunk. She swore to herself that she needed to increase her alcohol tolerance in the future! Youre awake? A deep male voice suddenly echoed behind her. Yuan Tian instantly darted away from the mirror. She turned around to look at the man who had entered from another room. Who are you? Yuan Tian guessed that this man had probably brought her here and changed her clothes. Her little face reddened as she could not restrain her temper from ring up. She looked at him warily. Who am I? murmured Shen Muqiu quietly. His tone was rather miserable while tiredness seeped through his gaze. Tian Tian, Im Shen Muqiu. Dont you remember me? Yuan Tian was still on guard. She coldly nced at the man before her. He wore an exquisite pale blue suit and leaned his arm against the door frame. His piercingly-cold gaze was tinged with warmth. He had a tall and imposing figure while an aristocratic air was faintly present on the forehead of his exceptionally handsome face. One could tell that his refined aura was the result of being born in an influential family. Im sorry but I dont know you! Yuan Tian said coldly. Im very sorry if youre an old friend of the Yuan Family, but youd be even more of a stranger to me. Yuan Tian nced at her disheveled appearance. She continued, Could you tell me what happened? Chapter 296 - My Dear Sister, I Know You Better Than That

Chapter 296: My Dear Sister, I Know You Better Than That

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tian nced at her disheveled appearance while suppressing the rage in her heart. She whispered, Could you tell me what happened? Shen Muqiu could not help butugh. Yuan Tian resembled a hedgehog that was covered in spikes from head to toe. However, her pretty little face was exactly the way he remembered it years ago. Its alright if you dont remember me. We can get to know each other slowlyter on. As for these marks, just consider them as presents from me in honor of our first meeting, okay? Yuan Tian was so furious that she nearly spat out blood. Sir, are you saying that you did this? Yuan Tian could not stop herself from wanting to stab this b*stard when she thought of how he had vited her in her confused state. How dare he take advantage of her when she was in trouble? You dont have to be shy, Miss Yuan. Of course, I wouldnt refuse if you wanted to return the favor! Shen Muqiu said this with a straight face, as though it was perfectly normal. Yuan Tian nearly coughed up blood again! How shameless! If she had not been not skimpily dressed, Yuan Tian would have definitely given him a piece of her mind. However, she would be at a disadvantage if she moved too much now... Yes, Ill take note of Tian Tiansments. Youve been asleep for such a long time. Are you hungry? As he spoke, Shen Muqiu stepped forward and attempted to pull Yuan Tian over. However, he had not expected that this woman would be so cautious against him. She took a step backward and nearly exploded at him. Who are you calling Tian Tian? Shut up! Shen Muqiu was shocked. A miserable look shed across his gaze when he saw that Yuan Tian was on high alert and distancing herself from him. You still have to eat no matter what I call you. I bought this... Im not eating your food! Yuan Tian rejected the mans offer while rage filled her face. How would I know if youve poisoned the food? Youre a despicable person whod step on others when theyre down! Yuan Tian was no longer concerned about being polite when she remembered that this man had seen her naked and harassed her. If her words were harsh then so be it! She would settle her score with him once she had gotten her clothes in a while... If youre worried, you can eat after Ive taken a bite. Is that alright? Shen Muqiupromised and spoke gently. You... Ill do anything to make you eat! Yuan Tian was unaware of the ruthless nature of the man before her when he was faced with violent enemies. She knew even less about his bloodthirsty heart that stemmed from a brutal past. This man had crawled out from the depths of hell... However, this perverse and ruthless man was currently patiently coaxing her. He had suppressed the vicious nature of the demon in his heart. He waspletely courteous and gentle now. Yuan Tian became rather hesitant after hearing him speak. She was unaware that she had messily vomitedst night. Her clothes were smelly and disgusting while her stomach was empty. When she heard that there was food, her stomach growled just in time... Shen Muqiu smiled sincerely. He turned around and quickly brought out the dishes and snacks from the little kitchen that he had prepared much earlier. He ced them neatly on the small dining table. Yuan Tians favorite strawberry pudding and yoghurt were also ced on the corner of the table. How did he know that she liked strawberry-vored food? Yuan Tians heart was conflicted but she could not resist the temptation of food. Her legs were slightly wobbly. Are youing to eat? Shen Muqiu acted sickeningly sappy when he was being affectionate towards women. Smiles lit up in the corners of his eyes before he continued, Should I feed you? Scram! Yuan Tian was brought up well. She would never allow a stranger to repeatedly seduce her! Shen Muqiu did not kick up a fuss. He remained calm as he opened the container of food on the table. A delicious aroma wafted through their surroundings. This food was from the Han River Restaurant. Yuan Tian usually loved this the most. Her father Yuan Tangshuo doted on her but when he was asionally too busy dealing with surgeries, he would send someone to buy this for her. She would never get bored of Hunanese food! Yuan Tian suddenly felt as though she had abandoned her morals... Shen Muqiu rose and went to another room. You can stay here and eat slowly. Im going to iron your clothes. Yuan Tian watched him leave before she scanned her surroundings. There was no one else here. She went to the bathroom to wash up first before she came out and scoffed down the food! Although that man had taken advantage of herst night, he had not continued and gotten away with it in the end. When she realized that he would not make any moves on her today, she decided to just eat and think about thister. Through the crack between the door, Shen Muqiu watched Yuan Tian happily eating. The corners of his lips stretched into a smile... * Feng Rao told Mu Chenwu about her meeting with Mu Chenyan in great detail. Mu Chenwu called her fifteen minutester. Feng Rao usually initiated the calls. This was the first time that Mu Chenwu had called her on his own. Chenwu, your sister is probably suspicious about me. I dont know if youre safe over there now but I want to see you! Feng Rao sounded rather anxious. Dont panic. That girl has been blinded by Yuan Xuan. Now that hes after me, I cant just see you as I please, and its much harder for me to meet Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenwu paused. Feng Rao said, What should I do? She wont believe anything I say. Since shes living with Yuan Xuan, I cant tell her that Im in contact with you either... You cant let her find out. The situation is slightlyplicated now because Yuan Xuan is manipting Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenwu murmured. Manipting? What do you mean? asked Feng Rao. The problem lies with Ye Kun, the same Ye Kun whos staying in the military hospital! Are you talking about the poisoning case that I was also previously called in for investigation? Yes! He was hunted down because he was carrying the records of the transactions between Yuan Tangbai and Ze Da, the previous leader of Xi Fans rebel forces. He had also obtained the map to Yuan Tangbais personal little treasury! Ye Kun attempted to find those items after Yuan Tangbai was killed, but Ze Das subordinates went after him because Ze Da wanted those things as well! Feng Rao eximed, Why didnt you tell Mu Chenyan these things? Whats the point? Her investigations in City C and the information that she obtained from Luo Hais police department have already shown that I brought Zhao Ruoxin and her mother back, and that I sent Mrs Zhao and her daughter to kill Ye Kun! Mu Chenwus tone was somewhat panicked. The sound of falling items echoed behind him. Feng Rao was terribly frightened but she anxiously consoled him. Dont get riled up first! Perhaps I can arrange a meeting between you and Mu Chenyan so that you can exin the situation to her. Youre her brother, after all. Your words are more convincing to her than anything that anyone else says! Mu Chenwu was silent for several minutes. His deep voice instructed, Ill leave this to you then. Be careful not to let Yuan Xuan discover this. If he catches me, the Mu Family will really be finished! Dont worry, Ill contact you immediately if theres any news! Feng Rao hung up after speaking. The corners of her lips curled upward into a sinister smile when she took the button-sized micro-tapping device out of her Hermes bag. Hmph, your brother has seen through your schemes, little vixen! * Mu Chenwu hung up. He stood on the balcony of the mountaintop vi and swirled the wine in his ss. He stared at the setting sun that was shrouded by the evening mist. Mu Chenyan, my dear sister, I know you better than that! Chapter 297 - Everyone Knows That Mu Chenyan Is Everything to Me

Chapter 297: Everyone Knows That Mu Chenyan Is Everything to Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan parked her car beside the road and ced her cell phone down. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly. The conversation between Mu Chenwu and Feng Rao had upset her. It would have hurt less if they had said these things to her face. It seemed as though her eyes were blinded by a dense fog. Everyone had their own excuses but she had been kept in the dark. Who was she supposed to believe? Ye Kun had nearly killed her during an insane outburst. Yuan Xuan kept his thoughts to himself. He never allowed her to ask unnecessary questions. Mu Chenwu mysteriously appeared and vanished while repeatedly stirring up trouble for her... Mistress? Yan Jun stopped his car beside hers. He got down and knocked on her cars window. Mistress, why did you park your car here? Did it break down? Mu Chenyan calmed herself down when she saw Yan Jun. She pressed a button to wind down the window. A pained expression still lingered on her face but she had to restrain herself in front of Yan Jun. No... Nothing... Im just unwell! Mu Chenyan turned her head toward the side as she spoke before herplexion slowly returned to normal. Do you want me to drive you? Initially, Yan Jun had secretly followed Mu Chenyan out of the Night Owl Bar. They drove to an area that was close to the mansion before he noticed that she parked her car beside the road for a long time. Yan Jun approached her because he was slightly worried. Its fine, I can drive myself. Mu Chenyan forced a smile before she drove away at a snails pace. Frankly, she did not know how to face Yuan Xuan when she returned to the Hibiscus Garden. * Hibiscus Garden Yuan Xuan had yet to return when Mu Chenyan came home. Ah Fu said that she had not prepared anything for dinner tonight. The Old Mistress said that everyone will go to Upper Mansion for dinner in awhile. Mistress, would you like me to make you something at home if youre not feeling well? Ah Fu asked in a concerned manner when she noticed that Mu Chenyan looked slightly tired. Mu Chenyan pondered briefly before realizing it would be inappropriate. The Old Mistress rarely asked everyone to go over and have a meal with her at Upper Mansion after the Spring Festival. The Yuan Family would probably have something to say if she refused to attend this time. Ill go after my shower. Inform the Young Master when he returns and ask him to go over first. Mu Chenyan flung her backpack off her shoulders and focused on going upstairs. * In the afternoon, Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai spent some time in the estate. Yuan Xuan had built a miniature golf course here because the estate was very close to the mansion. Both of them had just yed several rounds. The two men were fully dressed in white but the clean, bright, and unblemished color could not hide the brilliance that radiated off their bodies. It was rare for someone to look so eye-catching in white. Yan Jun had called to inform him about todays findings. Yuan Xuans heart was filled with unease when Yan Jun mentioned that Mu Chenyan looked rather absent-minded and depressed after meeting Feng Rao. His gaze turned profound while the emotions that surged through the depths of his eyes made him lose the desire to continue ying. Shao Yibai noticed the changes in Yuan Xuans emotions. The man ced his golf club on his shoulder before he maliciously smiled at Yuan Xuan. I think that Mu Chenyans only purpose in life is to fill your heart with turmoil! She hasnt even done anything but your expression has changed, your minds uneasy, and you cant even stay still. If she had exerted the slightest bit of force, Im afraid that the Mu Family would be able to crush youpletely without having to waste a single soldier! Shao Yibai had hit the nail on the head. Yuan Xuan put his golf club on the ground. His noble and elegant posture looked enchanting when he faintly smiled. Youre right! He never wanted to hide his weaknesses. He was indifferent toward them because he was no longer his previous self who was controlled by his ws. Everyone knows that Mu Chenyan is everything to me! I want to protect her but the outside world wont leave her alone. Yuan Xuan had always been coldly arrogant. He had never felt lonely even as he thread further along his difficult path alone. He only shared his personal feelings with others as a means of informing them, not because he wanted their opinions. She wanted to look for Mu Chenwu again just now! Yuan Xuan ced the golf club aside when he spoke. He snatched a white cotton towel from the towel rack and gently wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead. Hatred seeped through Yuan Xuans voice when he mentioned Mu Chenwu. That man was also from the Mu Family but he was treated in apletely different manner. When Shao Yibai gained an inkling of this, a mocking look faintly appeared on his handsome face. He smiled, saying, Are you worried that shelle home and argue with you again? Yuan Xuans gaze darkened. He raised his ss of water and gently sipped it. Its fine if she throws a little tantrum and kicks up a fuss, Ill just coax her out of it. However, Mu Chenwu will probably forget about being a loving sibling when he goes insane. If he maniptes Little Chenyan, Ill worried that the stupid woman will do as he says without thinking about her own safety! Shao Yibai was amused by Yuan Xuans appraisal of Mu Chenyan and the words that he used to describe her. He could not help butugh heartily. Yes! Sometimes, women are rather adorable when they behave foolishly. Theyre more attractive this way than when theysh out for no reason! A smile appeared on the corners of Yuan Xuans lips when he heard this. Are you talking about yourself? Shao Yibai was faintly tormented. He carelesslybed through his messy hair while looking rather agitated. My woman is too unreasonable! It looks like Ill have to wait for you to wrap this up. I have no choice but to violently drag her back to Capital City! I must hurry up then! Yuan Xuan nced at the sky. Summer nights cameter. He kept his tools and prepared to return to the mansion. His grandmother wanted everyone toe over for a meal. Everyone hade home because she had not held a family banquet in a long time. When are you nning to make your move? Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan still had an impressive trick up his sleeve. Yuan Tangzhongs transfer order to Capital City has been held up so he cant leave Luo Hai for some time. I was nning to toy with him briefly but from the looks of it now, itd be better to end this sooner because of Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuans t tone concealed murderous intentions. A hint of darkness shed across the mans unusually handsome face. * During the family feast in the Upper Mansion The Old Mistress had not organized family banquets like this for a long time. She knew that young people like her grandchildren preferred spending time alone with their spouses now that they were married. Ruoxin refused toe out and socialize because Zhao Yannis incident had upset her. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan was her only granddaughter-inw who remained at home while Wen Ya was hospitalized. However, the Old Mistress liked her the least. The family banquet was held in the main dining room. Yuan Xuan was thest person toe home. Everyone was already seated when he came here after his shower. Yuan Zhuan usually spoke the least. However, he cracked a joke when he saw Yuan Xuan today. Thest person toe home was supposed to drink as punishment. Your brothers and sisters looked so helpless before you arrived! Yuan Zhuan shifted his gaze toward Mu Chenyan as he spoke. Yuan Xuan saw the dejected expression across that womans face. The maid pulled out a chair for him to sit when he walked forward. The Old Mistress told the kitchen staff to serve the food once everyone was present. Yuan Xuans sudden arrival shrouded the dining area in a mysterious silence. Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo who were happily chatting earlier were now quiet. Second Uncle nced at Yuan Xuan with a prating and unreadable gaze. Yuan Xuan did not look away when his uncles eyes met his. A mocking smile appeared on the corners of his lips while a hint of irritation stirred in Yuan Tangzhongs heart. Now that the young wolf had finally matured, there was no need for him to conceal his violent nature anymore! The Old Mistress appeared to be in a rather good mood. After all, everyone still attempted to hide the conflict between family members from her. On the surface, this household still looked harmonious. Chapter 298 - The Old Mistress Was Not Asking for Anyone’s Opinion When She Said This

Chapter 298: The Old Mistress Was Not Asking for Anyones Opinion When She Said This

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Old Mistress did not want to worry about so many things in her old age. She had learned to shut her eyes to certain things. This affected the entire familys interests. The woman who had lived for more than half of a century clearly possessed the demeanor of a respected older rtive. Its difficult for me to see all of you. Now that everyone is present today, I have something to tell you. Everyone put their bowls and chopsticks down while they waited for the Old Mistress instructions. The first matter concerns Ruoxin! The Old Mistress nced at the obedient girl beside her with tears glistening in her eyes as she spoke. Ruoxin, is actually my Qinger... The dining table descended into chaos! Aside from Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan, Yuan Tian had also discovered this conclusion long ago. Everyone else inhaled a breath of cold air. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian looked at each other. They did not know who revealed this information to the Old Mistress, much less her aim when she mentioned this matter. Wen Yas face was ashen while her entire body trembled. She nced at Shu Qinger before she looked at the Old Mistress. In a quivering voice, she asked, Grandmother, what do you mean? Yuan Tangzhong was surprised as well. Mother, are you unwell? Why are you suddenly saying this? Yuan Ran was a coward. She unconsciously thought of the murder case when Qinger was mentioned. She quietly eximed in shock but she was too afraid to interrupt. Its a long story! The Old Mistress pulled Qingers hand when she spoke. Tear drops rolled down the corners of her eyes but she quickly wiped them away. Im not spouting nonsense and Im not confused! Ill tell you the details of this story another time. When Qinger returned, I felt as though I was resurrected from the dead as well. When I see Hong Yan, I can say that Ive fulfilled my promise to her! Hong Yan was Shu Qingers grandmother. She had previously entrusted Qinger in the care of her good friend. Everyone knew that the Old Mistress treasured old friendships. Qingers incident had always been a sore point for her. However, she had yet to fully ept these changes because the situation was ratherplicated. Yuan Zhe and his father looked at each other. They were too afraid to say anything unnecessary during this family banquet. If the Old Mistress knew about such a serious incident, Yuan Xuan had probably discovered it long ago. Wen Yas voice trembled as she asked, Who did they kill? Her frightened gaze shifted towards Shu Qinger. The Old Mistress emotions were slightly agitated. Her voice quivered as well, saying, It was the real Ruoxin! That child pretended to be Qinger. No one saw any inkling of it when she was hospitalized in Luo Hai. Everyone assumed that her memories were scattered and that she behaved abnormally because she was mentally ill. The young women at the table muttered quietly. Mu Chenyan could tell that everyone aside from herself knew that Qinger had previously stayed in Zong He Sanatorium for a period of time. No one suspected anything about the changes in Zhao Ruoxin when she returned to Luo Hai because of this. They only shared life experiences when they were younger because Qinger had studied abroad since she was a child. She spent very little time interacting with her family at home. Qinger experienced great emotional changes when she fell sick. They affected her personality and temperament. Her memories were also fractured, making it impossible for her to remember the things that happened when she was younger. Who would have imagined that she had been secretly swapped with another person? Mu Chenyan saw Shu Qinger shoot a provocative gaze at her. Traces of mockery were also hidden behind her arrogantly pleased smile. Chenyan seemed to realize that this wildly ambitious woman had slowly revealed herself as Qinger to the Old Mistress because of Yuan Xuan. In the end, she was not assured although Yuan Xuan had promised to let her remain locally. She had sought protection from the Old Mistress because she was the only person in this household who could control Yuan Xuan. Old Mistress would never allow her to return to Italy now that she had switched back to this identity. Yuan Xuans profound gaze fell on Shu Qinger. In a gentle tone, he said, Grandmother, are you saying that you want to clear up Qingers identity with the outside world? The Old Mistress nodded but seemed slightly hesitant. She used a tone which suggested that she was seeking advice, saying, I called everyone here today to discuss this matter! She nced at Qinger before her eyes scanned across all her rtives. After all, the previous case affected us very badly that year. If we bring it up again now, Im worried that itll leave a bad impression on the outside world! However, Qinger has returned in the end. Since the Yuan Family is still influential in Luo Hai, cant we give her some form of status? The Old Mistress was not asking for anyones opinion when she said this. Everyone shifted their gaze toward Yuan Xuan. Qinger looked rather hopeful as well while she waited for Yuan Xuan to speak. Mu Chenyan felt stressed on Yuan Xuans behalf at this moment. She remained calm and lowered her eyelids without looking at Yuan Xuan. If she just needs an identity, itll be fine for her to continue on as Ruoxin! The matchmaking event is about to begin in a few days. The sons of Luo Hais aristocratic families want to get married. As the Yuan Family is supposed to host this years matchmaking event, I think that itll be a good time to introduce Ruoxin to the rest of the world! Yuan Xuan gingerly struck the surface of the table with his ivory chopsticks. Its good that you know Qingers real identity now. The backstory of her identity will also continue to stay with you, grandmother. Are titles really that important? The Old Mistress realized that this was also reasonable when she heard it. It was difficult enough for her own family to ept this sudden matter, but outsiders would probably make thoughtless remarks. Qingers gaze was filled with disappointment. She did not care about the title. However, Yuan Xuans attitude showed there was no ce for her in his heart... Brother Xuan, I... It doesnt matter whether youre Qinger or Ruoxin, well continue to treat you like our little sister! Yuan Xuan suddenly interrupted Shu Qinger. A sorrowful look appeared on the ambitious womans face when her mood temporarily worsened. Im everyones little sister! Yuan Tian muttered. The youngest child in the household was extremely upset now. Lu Shan was worried that this naughty girl would say something and cause trouble again. She secretly pinched her underneath the table... Tears formed in Yuan Tians eyes when she was pinched. The corners of her lips drooped downward before she angrily pouted her little mouth. Mom, doesnt our hospital have a department that does maternity tests? Lu Shan could not connect the dots at that time. She asked, Yes, we do. Why? We should go and do a maternity test tomorrow. I suspect that I may be someone elses unwanted child! There was a deste look on Yuan Tians face. Lu Shan was amused but annoyed at the same time. She sneaked a nce at Yuan Tangshuo. This is all your fault! Yuan Tangshuo disagreed. He felt that Yuan Tian had an extremely good attitude. It was truly difficult for his daughter to grow up robustly when the members of the Yuan Family treated her with such disdain throughout so many years. On the other hand, Qinger was a highly ambitious child from the outside. Yuan Tangshuo nced at Yuan Xuan and Qinger. He gently sighed, Mother, you stubbornly allowed this girl to stay in our household despite the confusion. This matter has be problematic in the end! Lu Shan red at her husband when he eximed like this. He was usually a quiet man. Dont make the Old Mistress unhappy now. No one in this family would dare to disobey her because Father spoiled her. Moreover, this is Yuan Xuans problem so dont butt in! Yuan Zhe remained silent on the sidelines all this while. When he looked at Qinger, he suddenly understood the extent of Mu Chenwus slyness. He thought of every possible way to get her into the Yuan Family so that she could disrupt their household because he had probably figured out her true identity long ago. This was not an entirely bad thing because this woman could control Yuan Xuan slightly. Yuan Xuan would still be concerned with Mu Chenyan if Qinger remained, but Qinger would not let him live peacefully... Chapter 299 - Your Misfortune Was Caused by Your Greed

Chapter 299: Your Misfortune Was Caused by Your Greed

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong saw Yuan Zhe shooting daggers at him. He lowered his voice, saying, This woman will still be useful in the future! Yuan Tangzhong knew that Yuan Zhe had been secretly contacting the father and son of the Mu Family all along. He was usually disappointed with his son in many ways, but he chose to stand with him at this moment. Mother, if thats the case, you should just allow Qinger to take Ruoxins identity and announce this to the public. If we find her a suitable partner in the future, well regard her as if she were Yuan Ran or Yuan Tian. Would that be alright? The Old Mistress nodded after Yuan Tangzhong had finished speaking. Youre right. We certainly must marry her off well to avoid troubling my Qinger! When the subject of marriage was mentioned, Qingers gaze fell on Yuan Xuan... The Old Mistress fierce re when she yelled at Mu Chenyan and called her a vixen shed through Chenyans mind. On the contrary, she referred to Qinger as my Qinger.... However, this did not matter because Mu Chenyan was unconcerned! Yuan Tian stuck her tongue out when she heard this. Wow! Youre so kind, Second Uncle. Id always thought that Yuan Ran and I were different! Yuan Tangzhong, ... Ouch! Mom, why did you pinch me again? Tears glistened in Yuan Tians eyes while her heart was filled with anger. Lu Shan quietly scolded, We should get that maternity test done tomorrow! How did I give birth to a daughter like you? Do you think that I could return you if you were really someone elses child? Lu Shan was forced to resort to dark humor. Yuan Tian made a face before she happily turned to the Old Mistress and asked, Grandmother, can we start eating? The Old Mistress stared at her before she tly said, Go ahead, eat! Well leave this to Little Xuan. Yuan Xuan firmly held Mu Chenyans hand underneath the table. He tightened his grip as though he was making sure of something. Mu Chenyan was shocked. She nced sideways and saw that Yuan Xuans nose was pointed straight while his gaze was indifferent and rxed. This man who radiated an elegant and refined aura throughout his entire body was not the slightest bit embarrassed at his actions below the table. Her hands were always covered in ayer of cold sweat during the summer while Yuan Xuans hands were as warm and dry as before. An additionalyer of sweat formed on Mu Chenyans palm when he gripped her hand tighter. She neither hid, nor reject the force that his hand exerted. She gently responded in kind instead. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan felt as though danger was lurking behind every corner at this moment. Yuan Xuan had led a difficult life among the members of the Yuan Family whose minds were unreadable. After Jiao Shuzhens passing and Yuan Tangbais mysterious death, Yuan Xuan lived here alone. His grandmother was the only person whom he could rely on. Yuan Xuan never freely revealed his emotions to outsiders. Perhaps this was due to the experiences of his youth. This was different from Mu Chenyans situation. Mu Chenyan had lived in Xi Fan since she was little. The vast open space there allowed Mu Chenyan to live in an unrestrained manner without any worries before she was 10 years old. This also allowed her to openly reveal her thoughts when she fell for Yuan Xuan when she was much younger. Yuan Xuan, however, was the exact opposite of her. He never revealed his true feelings. Despite the gloomy feelings in his heart, he continued to appear at ease on the surface. He treated Qinger, the Old Mistress, and even his mortal enemies that way. On the other hand, there were many instances when he failed to express his love for Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenyans heart throbbed painfully when she initially heard the conversation between Mu Chenwu and Feng Rao. Now that she had calmed down, she was not as conflicted and emotional as the first time when she returned from the cemetery. After so many bitter experiences, it seemed as though Mu Chenyan had finally found a sense of bnce in her mind. She thought to herself and realized that when the truth finally came to light, it would not be surprising if her and Yuan Xuan argued and broke up! After dinner Mu Chenyan pulled Yuan Tian over at the doorway of Upper Mansion. She quietly asked, Where did you go yesterday? There was a gloomy expression on Yuan Tians face while she shook her head. Nothing happened. I was just harassed by a pervert but its over! Mu Chenyan was still somewhat worried. Lu Shan had not realized anything but Mu Chenyan knew Yuan Tian better. She had never worn shirts with high cors before. Despite todays hot weather, she was tightly wrapped up like a dumpling... My brother knows where I went! Yuan Tian recalled how that mysterious man had mentioned Yuan Xuan when he finally sent her home. Tell Third Young Master Yuan that Ive returned his belongings in perfect condition. However, Ill take whats mine sooner orter! Mu Chenyan knew that it was useless for her to question the matters that involved Yuan Xuan. There was an artificialke to the north of Hibiscus Garden. As it was already summer, the white lotuses in the man-madeke were in full bloom and thriving beautifully. She decided to take a stroll there because she was rather full from dinner. The artificialke was notrge but the water levels ranged in depth. Mu Chenyan had frequently yed here with Yuan Tian when they were younger. They had even caught mudskippers in the swallow muddy water during the summer. She was already ten years old at that time. She tied her hair in little pigtails and rolled up her pants as she taught Yuan Tian how to catch the mudskippers... Mu Chenyan circled the artificial pond while enjoying the quietness now. She recalled the carefree days of her youth. The summer breeze blew gently. The shallow part of theke was cooler and more serene than the other areas. Mu Chenyans heart was filled with fond memories of her happy past. She even wondered whether she would remain at the Yuan Family Mansion if she could live her life again and choose a different path. Mu Chenyan? The other womans voice sounded rather frosty despite the warm summer breeze. Mu Chenyan turned around and saw that Shu Qinger was following her. Her eyes were piercingly cold. Yes? The fog in her heart had recently vanished, but it had returned to suffocate her again. She had no choice but to give her the cold shoulder because she refused to meet Shu Qingers gaze. Were you proud of my performance tonight? Shu Qingers bewitching face broke out into a faint smile. My position in the Yuan Family will be secured as long as the Old Mistress agrees. Brother Xuan may go back on his word and attempt to send me away, but he cant do anything without the Old Mistress permission! As long as I remain in the Yuan Family, I can take back everything that belongs to me. Dont you agree? She was threatening her again! Mu Chenyans heart felt terribly constricted. Why was she always here? She should have been an actress since she loved stealing the limelight so much! Qinger, werent you highly educated? Mu Chenyan ignored Shu Qingers smug expression and said something that was irrelevant to the current topic. Shu Qinger was stunned and confused. If thats the case, I dont understand how you ruined such a good hand of cards. Why did you waste your whole life chasing someone elses man? Mu Chenyan immediately retaliated without holding back. Only then did Shu Qinger react. Her expression instantly changed as the rage in her eyes burned brighter. Mu Chenyan, do you think that you yed no part in my current situation? Mu Chenyan coldly said, At least Id never harmed you directly! You can ask Yuan Xuan if you still dont believe me. Mu Chenyan was raised well. Although her personality had been unruly since she was young before she suddenly became indifferent as she grew older, she had never been unkind. She was quite shocked that she could treat Shu Qinger like this. Shu Qinger was speechless. Ashamed, she flew into a rage while wishing that she could rip Mu Chenyan apart. You never hurt me directly, but if it wasnt for you, wouldnt I be sitting next to Yuan Xuan today? Chapter 300 - You Ruined a Good Hand of Cards

Chapter 300: You Ruined a Good Hand of Cards

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows because something had gotten on her nerves. She sneered, From ancient times, fights between jealous women were caused by these womens own actions. Talk to Yuan Xuan if youre in love with him and ask him why he didnt marry you. Why are you stubbornly arguing with me? I wouldnt have gotten you into this mess if we were in each others shoes now. If I desired Yuan Xuan, I wouldve thought of every way to improve myself to gain his favor. Otherwise, someone else wouldve stolen my man even if it wasnt you! Mu Chenyan did not mince her words. I only said that you ruined a good hand of cards because I felt that your misfortune was caused by greed in the end! Shu Qinger was filled with rage. She shot daggers at Mu Chenyan. Are you calling me greedy? Yes! Mu Chenyan gritted her teeth and stood by her words. You nned the kidnapping and rape incident in Ennd on your own, didnt you? Shu Qinger widened her eyes in disbelief. She retreated slightly before her trembling body curled up into a ball. Mu Chenyan saw that her face had turned ashen while she sounded rather hesitant now. She was unsure of whether to continue speaking. You... What are you saying? I dont... I dont understand... Qinger attempted to redeem herself. She spared no effort to control the scene. What do you know? Arent you extremely pleased with yourself now? You think that youre pure in Yuan Xuans eyes while Im tainted. Youre trying to nder me in every possible way! Mu Chenyan had never nned to expose her in the beginning but the malicious aura in her heart kept recklessly gnawing at her conscience. Shu Qinger would have buried this secret in the depths of her heart forever if she had not been provoked. That kidnapping case was a constant burden in Yuan Xuans mind! He thought that he had made you suffer by implicating you. Most importantly, when he witnessed you getting raped, this formed an invisible wound in his heart that served as a reminder that he was eternally indebted to you. However, he was unaware that you had orchestrated everything. You were merely suffering the consequences of your own actions! Mu Chenyan paid attention to Shu Qingers gloomy expression when she spoke. Qinger had never imagined that Mu Chenyan would say this. She attempted to calm her anxious heart. She furrowed her eyebrows and scowled while her beautiful little face became rather fierce. Mu Chenyan, do you have any proof? These are my inferences! Inferences? Qinger was at a loss. She sneered, In other words, are they merely baseless usations? Mu Chenyan turned and walked towards the pavilion in the middle of theke. Take a seat, Ill exin everything to you properly. Shu Qinger trailed Mu Chenyan. The two women resembled close-knit sisters from afar. Qinger sat opposite Mu Chenyan with her back facing theke. Her little face looked even paler when the bright moonlight and gleaming water reflected off it. Your original n was to kidnap me! Mu Chenyan confidently said. This threw Shu Qinger off but she forced herself to look focused instead. She sneered, Keep going, Im listening! Unfortunately, there was a problem with the timing. Id returned home suddenly because something happened at home. Worse still, you had sent several greenhorns to do the job! They carried out the kidnapping after receiving the order from their superiors but they kidnapped you and Yuan Xuan instead. Chinese girls all looked the same to them and they assumed that the girl by Yuan Xuans side was definitely me. You had intentionally copied my style during that period of time as well. Shu Qinger sneered, Nonsense! Why would I copy you? Previously, you said that Yuan Xuan seemed different when you met him in Italypared to the times you saw him in Ennd. In Italy, a carefree person like you would never wear a uniform like a good girl. Wouldnt you have hated to dress like that? This point had really hit the mark and revealed Shu Qingers true feelings. She remained silent but gestured for Mu Chenyan to continue. You felt threatened because I was always with Yuan Xuan, so you paid attention to me in many ways. You even copied my habits on purpose! This caused the kidnappers to identally kidnap the person who was backing them financially. Suddenly, things descended into chaos when they realized that both the police and the criminals of the underworld were pursuing them! However, their superiors had instructed them to rape Miss Mu in front of Yuan Xuan. Unfortunately, you had really shot yourself in the foot because of that. The anger in Mu Chenyans eyes had vanished after she finished speaking. It was reced with disappointment instead. Is this what you meant when you said that I ruined a good hand of cards? The corners of Qingers lips curled upward into a terribly sarcastic smile once she had heard everything. This was actually not far from the truth. When her gorgeous face was coupled with this expression, people would immediately think of her as a femme fatale! You have such a vivid imagination. How did youe to this conclusion? Shu Qinger calmed her thoughts and got up before she approached Mu Chenyan. Fury and resentment were both present in her bright pupils. Mu Chenyan kept quiet and merely looked at Shu Qinger. Momentster, she murmured, Qinger, this wasnt just a wild guess. Shu Qinger sniggered while the dark aura in her eyes grew more intense. If this isnt a wild guess, are you saying that you have evidence? Mu Chenyan faintly smiled. If Im not mistaken, youre a fine example of an egoist! A fine example of an egoist? Shu Qinger smirked. This term is very popr now! Are you merely using it on me to hide the fact that you made all those usations against me without any concrete evidence? Mu Chenyan rose as well. She met Shu Qingers gaze while they were on opposite sides. Both of these women had simr figures and identical auras. It seemed as though neither of them was willing to give in to the other party. You probably know that term better than I do! You went out of your way to save Yuan Xuan but an egotistical person like you wouldnt have done it purely out of love. Mu Chenyan spoke slowly. She did not want to attack Shu Qinger or get back at her; she merely wanted her to stop treating everyone else like idiots! You merely treated Yuan Xuan like an item in your private collection before he became everything to you. Thats why you grew increasingly obsessed with him after that n failed. Am I wrong? Shu Qingers face was filled with embarrassment after Mu Chenyan saw through her. The previous incident had been concealed so well that even the assassins were unaware of their financial backer after they were caught. It would have been impossible for them to use her. She had never imagined that Mu Chenyan could easilye to this conclusion just by guessing. She had lost everything now. How could she allow Yuan Xuan to discover the secret behind his debt of gratitude? She had used this opportunity to benefit herself by tricking others. Although other people had taken advantage of her, she made Yuan Xuan feel as though he owed her an enormous favor. How would Yuan Xuan treat her if he discovered the truth? She had certainly shot herself in the foot. She feared that Yuan Xuan would avoid her because he assumed that Shu Qinger was tainted. This led her to continue on as Zhao Ruoxin previously. She had even added an additional element because of that... Shu Qinger looked at Mu Chenyan. She sneered, Mu Chenyan, have you ever thought that youd be too smart for your own good one day? Mu Chenyan remained silent. She merely nced at Qingers slightly contorted face. Shu Qinger was so angry that her shoulders trembled. A painful tremor surged in her heart before she unconsciously realized that both of them had been thwarted by fate. Shu Qinger had lost her mind. Suddenly, she swung her arm at Mu Chenyan and yelled, Why dont you just die? Mu Chenyan reacted instantly. Perhaps she had realized that something was wrong the moment Qinger reached her hand out. She instinctively dodged sideways... Qinger exerted a lot of force. It seemed as though she had nned to push Mu Chenyan into the artificialke. Unfortunately, Mu Chenyan had escaped to the side while Qinger who was panting terribly could not stand steadily. She tumbled forward before she fell into the man-madeke... Ssh! The water level rose during the ssh... Chapter 301 - Playing in the Water with Who?

Chapter 301: ying in the Water with Who?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was already night time. The water was pitch ck in spite of the surroundingmps. Help...! Qinger struggled to float as she shrieked with fear. Very soon, she began sinking into the water. Mu Chenyan was stunned still for a few seconds, motionless. The water was rather deep at where the midke pavilion was located. When Mu Chenyan saw the woman in the water iling her arms frantically, she panicked and shouted for help. Someone help! Qinger has fallen into the water! The Yuan family had servants patrolling around the clock, so her shouts quickly drew the attention of people. However, Shu Qinger was already submerged in the water. Even if the servants were to rush over, it would probably be toote. Mu Chenyan remembered that there was once when they went swimming together in the UK, and Qinger choked on the water, hence she never really learned to swim. At this point, Mu Chenyan could not care much. She shook off her shoes, jumped onto the railing of the midke pavilion, and dived into the water... The servants who heard the shout for help rushed over. When they saw two women struggling in the water, they hastily grabbed argending to save them. Mu Chenyan hit Shu Qinger hard on the head the moment she entered the water. Only with her fainted did she dare to haul her from behind. Although she was still breathing, she had swallowed mouthfuls of water. The servants quickly notified Old Mistress at the Upper Mansion and the people in Hibiscus Garden that both mistresses had fallen into the water as they carried out first aid. When Yuan Xuan returned to Hibiscus Garden and saw that the woman did not follow behind, he thought that she had gone to chat with Yuan Tian. Who knew that she would go to the man-madeke? Who was she ying in the water with? With Qinger! Yuan Xuan rushed to the Upper Mansion as the servants had brought the two women there. The family doctor was quickly fetched. Even Yuan Tangshuo and Yuan Tian were called over. As Mu Chenyan watched the hugemotion, she felt a terrible headache. Walking through the door, Yuan Xuan saw that Qinger was still lying unconscious in bed. Mu Chenyan was also a mess. She was soaked, and strands of hair were stuck to her ear. Although it was summer, falling abruptly into the water would still cause one to shiver from the cold. This woman; her lip color was so unsightly! Counting the days, Yuan Xuan was even more annoyed. He strode over, put his arms around her body that was wrapped in a bath towel, and scolded her in a low voice, Are you courting death? Your menstruation is not over yet. How did you fall into theke? Mu Chenyans lips twitched upon hearing that. She smiled wryly as waves of pain was felt in the lower abdomen. She was in a panic just now and had not felt it. Only now did she realize that it was indeed only the second day of her period. Its okay. Ill be fine after taking a hot bath... Mu Chenyan was feeble. After all, this was her first time experiencing such a situation. Back then, the reason she learned to swim was so that she could save herself, but she did not expect herself to save a woman who tried to kill her today. Shu Qinger was frightened, coupled with the fact that she had gulped down mouthfuls of water. When she was finally woken up by the doctor, the first thing she did was wail.. Old Mistress was shocked. Seeing Qinger regained consciousness, she muttered, My Qinger, how did you fall into theke? You gave Grandmother the fright of my life! How... How did I fall into the water? Ive got no idea... Qinger cried and said. She suddenly noticed that Mu Chenyan was also soaking wet. She knew that Mu Chenyan could swim, and so she had an inkling of what happened. When Mu Chenyan saw Qinger staring at her hesitantly, Chenyan wondered to herself if this woman would falsely use her of pushing her into the water. Shu Qinger snorted and felt helpless at her own stupidity deep in her heart. She was vexed at herself for constantly shooting herself in the foot. There was still plenty of time in the days toe! I was chatting with Mu Chenyan by theke when I saw a fish jumping out of the water, so I went closer to take a look, but I identally lost my footing and fell into it... F*ck! She was finally smart for once! Mu Chenyan secretly let out a sigh of relief. Qinger finished her sentence and looked frightened still. Yuan Xuan looked at her suspiciously. Mu Chenyan saw that and quickly nodded, indicating that Qinger was telling the truth. Old Mistress sighed and chided the servants, Ive said it in the beginning that we should increase the height of the guardrail surrounding the pavilion. Theres gonna be a number of children in the mansion in the future, so we cant afford to take it lightly. Butler Fu agreed. I will send someone to make the guardrail higher tomorrow! Mistress and Miss have suffered this time. We wont be careless anymore! ... Hibiscus Garden While Mu Chenyan took a hot bath, Ah Fu boiled some tea that would help warm her stomach. Truthfully, she could not drink any of it as she had gulped down quite a lot of water in theke. However, Yuan Xuan would not let her off, so she had to bear with it and drink half of the tea. Coupled with the warmthing from Yuan Xuansrge hands, very soon, the menstrual pain felt better. What really happened? Yuan Xuan caressed her belly and asked softly. Didnt Qinger said it? We fell over while trying to watch the fish... Do you think Id believe that? Yuan Xuan gave a chilly and questioning stare. His pupils were deep, and his thick eyshes were fluttering lightly like butterfly wings, causing Mu Chenyan to be flurried as she met his gaze. You dont believe it? What if I tell you she was going to push me into the water, but she used too much force and ended up falling into the water, while I dived in to rescue her? Are you now convinced? Mu Chenyan smiled. She wanted to see Yuan Xuans expression change. How stupid! The mans look had indeed changed. His dark countenance became increasingly apparent, and he looked like he could not wait to swallow her up. Mu Chenyan did not know who he was referring to as stupid. Whos stupid? Who else? You, of course! Yuan Xuan was worried about the womans IQ. How am I stupid? Mu Chenyan could not help but feel wronged. Although she was not extremely bright, being chided by this man as a fool over and over again annoyed her. Why did you jump in? You shouldve just let her drown, yet you chose to jump in. Arent you stupid? Yuan Xuan said in a half-genuine and half-pretense manner. His expression was also not of a serious one. Mu Chenyan was taken aback. She did not know what Yuan Xuan meant. Are you willing to let her drown? After all, shes the sister of the real Qinger. Back then when that homicide happened... Youve said it yourself that she wanted to push you, so I think you shouldnt have saved her! Yuan Xuan did not want Mu Chenyan to bring up the murder case again, so he cut off her words. If youre the one who had fallen into theke, I wouldve saved you too! Mu Chenyan said deliberately. Are you that capable? Yuan Xuan asked. Mu Chenyan nodded seriously. Yea! Then, the top priority is to nt a little kid here! Yuan Xuan coldly snorted as his big hand continued to rub her abdomen, making the skin hot and dry. Mu Chenyan was at loss for words. ... Peace Mansion Upon reaching home, Yuan Zhe and Wen Ya immediately changed their manner. Yuan Zhe seemed to have some opinion on the resurrection of Qinger. Interesting! This home is not as peaceful as it was anymore. More drama is bound to happen in the future! Hearing heard Yuan Zhens remarks, Wen Ya did not want to bother Yuan Zhe. If she could keep mum, she would stay far away from him. Although she had already gotten rid of the crutches, Wen Yas legs were still somewhat feeble. The maid came forward to help Wen Ya, but when Yuan Zhe saw that, he ordered the maid to retreat. He then carried Wen Ya and went upstairs. Wen Ya was frightened and asked, What are you doing? Making love! Chapter 302 - Enjoy This Night to Your Heart’s Content

Chapter 302: Enjoy This Night to Your Hearts Content

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Zhe was in quite a good mood, but he had an agonizing cold look on his face. He could tell that Wen Ya was extremely against it, but he did not care whether she was willing to or not, as long as he had gotten what he wanted! Im not feeling well! I dont want to... Wen Ya was indeed feeling unwell. Herplexion seemed very poor ever since she had gotten back from the upper mansion. Why? Are you still thinking about that pretty boy? Mm? After hearing Wen Yas rejection, Yuan Zhe said something that did not make any sense and she could not recall offhand who he was talking about. You forgot about him? As Yuan Zhe spoke, he threw her onto the bed and unbuttoned his shirt while smiling ferociously, Ill remind you of that Doctor Zheng... Nonsense! Wen Yas entire body was trembling in rage. She saw that Yuan Zhe was halfway done with removing his clothes, so she pushed herself up and moved backward. Then, she cursed furiously, Theres nothing between me and Zheng Shu Yan. Theres nothing between the two of you? The corners of his lips curled up into a sarcastic smile. Do you think that the surveince cameras at home are just for show? Wen Ya was frightened. It seemed like Yuan Zhe already knew what Zheng Shu Yan did when he removed the cast. You... Youre bringing this up after so long, what is the meaning of it? Humph! Ive restrained myself for a few days and did a thorough investigation on that boy! He was indeed your ssmate in university, but he chose toe to Luo Hai instead of staying in the UK to further his studies. It cant be that he likes Luo Hais culture and weather! Wen Ya felt as though she was being struck by lightning when she heard that! Both her legs turned numb and the feeling of fear, as well as pain, crept into her heart. She looked at the gloomy look on Yuan Zhes face in terror and came to a sudden realization. Yuan Zhe, I beg you, please do not hurt him... Nothing happened between the two of us. Thest time was just an ident, Ive never done anything to betray you... Wen Ya stopped avoiding him and threw herself into his arms. She grabbed Yuan Zhes waist and begged him. Seeing how cruel and merciless Yuan Zhe was, he would definitely do something to Zheng Shu Yan. However, there was truly nothing between her and Zheng Shu Yan. Wen Ya was afraid that if Yuan Zhe were to put his mind into it, he woulde up with a hundred ways to torture Zheng Shu Yan! Oh really? My wife! Just as Yuan Zhe expected, this woman was a whore. She threw herself into his arms the minute she heard that Zheng Shu Yan was in danger. The feminine scent lingering around his waist riled up a wave of inexplicable anger in his heart. He grabbed her chin with hisrge hands and the piercing pain caused her to frown a little. Youre scared? Yuan Zhe said in a deep voice andughed ferociously. Tears rolled down from the corners of Wen Yas eyes as she could tell from his expression that he was doing it on purpose. Wen Ya said in a trembling voice, You know that Im innocent, right? How could he not know that she was a virgin at that time? After their marriage, this woman had always abode by her duties scrupulously. Therefore, Yuan Zhe was certain that she dared not do it. Even so, he enjoyed torturing her because of the wickedness in his heart! Indeed, I do know everything. However, that boy had already kissed these lips. How sure are you that he does not have the intention to sleep with you? This reason alone is enough for me to make sure that he suffers a violent death! He caressed her lips with his huge rough hands, which caused her to quiver slightly. No! Wen Ya opened her eyes and wailed in fear, I beg you, please dont. Ill do anything you want, but please do not hurt Zheng Shu Yan, hes innocent... Very good! Yuan Zhe had a smug smile on his face, That depends on whether you can please me or not! The wickedness inside of Yuan Zhe grew stronger and his smile had gotten even more hideous. Wen Ya felt as if her heart was falling into a bottomless abyss and the feeling of hatred filled her heart. Tears blurred her vision as she looked at Yuan Zhes face, which looked extremely simr to that of Yuan Xuans. Yuan Zhe, you... Youre a demon! Youre right, Mrs. Yuan! Yuan Zhe said coldly, Im indeed a demon! Nheless, dont forget that youre the one who opened the door to the world of demons and forced your way in. Wen Ya remained silent. At this point, nothing would change regardless of what she said. Your father made you sleep with me, bear my child, and forced me to marry you. If you were to hate someone, shouldnt it be that old geezer, Wen Youquan? Yuan Zhe was in quite a good mood today, so he had the patience to y along. Yuan Zhe, stop acting so shamelessly! Wen Ya was utterly disgusted. She shut her eyes as she did not want to look at Yuan Zhe. He was the one who pushed her into the abyss, yet he turned it around and shifted the me onto someone else! However, Yuan Zhe did not allow her to do as she wished. He increased the force on his grip and Wen Ya felt a chill down her spine when he spoke in a tone which sounded as though it came from hell. You should learn how to please me. Otherwise, you should know that I have many ways to make sure that your life is a living hell! As the man spoke, he ced hisrge hands on her waist and she gasped when he lifted the corner of her dress... Yuan Zhe raised her waist with both his hands and her pitiful dress soon turned into piles of torn fabric under the torment of hisrge hands. Without any cover, her exposed delicate fair skin became flushed. Wen Ya looked at the man who was about to vite her with an ashamed and dreary look in her eyes. This man was her husband? It was a fact that Wen Ya did not want to ept! Nheless, it was indeed the truth! Yet, it was her parents who made her ept this fact. She had beenpromising continuously. She gave in to destiny for the Wen Family and gave in to herself to survive in this world. Mu Chenyan once asked her, why not get a divorce? In truth, she really wanted to. However, she did not have the power to. She was weak and she did not have the ability to protect herself. The only thing that her family could take advantage of was her delicate body. If she were to get a divorce, a psycho like Yuan Zhe would drive the Wen Family into bankruptcy and her pitiful parents would end up on the streets. How miserable would that be? Even though they ruined her, she still kept them in her thoughts... She thought to herself, if given a choice, why would she not want to have freedom? Tears rolled down Wen Yas face soundlessly as she reached her hands out to touch Yuan Zhes shoulder. Then, she dug her nails deep into his shoulder and the scratch marks caused Yuan Zhe to frown in pain. Her entire body was trembling with hate and she could only use this method to soothe the pain in her heart... Cant wait? Mm? Ah! Wen Ya eximed. Her breath became rushed and her face turned bright red. Then, moisture started to collect in herrge watery eyes. The summer breeze was warm and cozy, yet Wen Yas entire body felt cold. They were on the balcony at the other side of the Peace Mansion and they could see everything clearly from above. Wen Ya intuitively wanted to break free, Why did you bring me here? I dont want... The man ignored her protest. He grabbed both of her hands and pressed them onto the wall. My parents feel the reason why youre not pregnant is that I wasnt trying hard enough. As Yuan Zhe spoke, he looked towards the other side. Wen Ya was stunned. She knew that he was doing it on purpose, so she instinctively retaliated, Youre a madman! Chapter 303 - Ruptured Corpus Luteum

Chapter 303: Ruptured Corpus Luteum

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya wanted to rebuke him again, but his next move frightened her. The man pressed his lower body tightly against hers before she could object. You wouldnt dare. Do you understand why I have to do this? The mans voice wasced with a smile, but it was a sinister smirk that sent shivers down her spine. Dont... Wen Ya was so scared that her whole body trembled. Hmph, I wasnt asking for your permission! Ahh! Make sure you enjoy this night. The mans menacing voice echoed beside her ear. Im going to leave asting mark on you. Always remember that your body belongs to me... Enjoy this. That hurts! ... Let me go... Im begging you... Wen Ya tearfully pleaded. She could not bear the violent pain, so she cried and begged desperately. * Mu Chenyan did not go to work in the morning. Yuan Tians father also allowed her to rest at home for a few days because of the trouble at the hospital. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian spent their entire morning having fun, but this angered Yuan Xuan. She couldnt get a good nights sleep yesterday so you cant stay over today! Yuan Xuan warned her in advance before he went to work. There was a gloomy expression on his face. Mu Chenyan: ... Yuan Tian: ... Yuan Tian stuffed a handful of snacks in her mouth after Yuan Xuan left. She muttered, My brother used to be such a loner. Why is he so overprotective over his wife now? Does it look like Im trying to seduce you? I cant believe that he got jealous because of a woman. How could he be so unreasonable? Mu Chenyan smiled without saying a word. She did not mention to Yuan Tian how sickeningly sweet it was when the mans eyes were filled with pain after he saw her returned home soaking wet yesterday night. Fifth Miss Yuan Tian was the most enraged when she heard that Mu Chenyan fell into the water. Not even Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan, nor the Old Mistress were as angry as her. The young woman had paid close attention to the recent events. She persisted in her belief that Qinger had pushed Mu Chenyan into theke. I told you that I jumped in on my own to save her! She could not help butugh when she saw the look of disbelief on Yuan Tians face. You know that Qinger cant swim. She had obviously hidden the details about Qingers failed attempt to push her from Yuan Tian. Ah Fu ran anxiously inside while the two women were chatting. She swallowed the words she was about to say when she saw Yuan Tian. Mu Chenyan rose to her feer. She asked calmly, Ah Fu, whats wrong? Ah Fu, are you hiding something from me? Yuan Tian became very upset when she saw Ah Fus hesitation. Fifth Miss and Mistress, Little Cui from Peace Mansion came to me in secret just now. She told me that the Eldest Young Mistress is experiencing a terrible stomach ache, but shes enduring the pain at home because she doesnt want to go to the hospital. Little Cui asked me what to do because shes very worried. Should we inform the Old Mistress? Im scared that something might have happened... Yuan Tian leaped up from the lounge chair before Ah Fu finished speaking. Sh*t! My brother definitely did something terrible again! Mu Chenyans forehead scrunched up as she followed Yuan Tian closely from behind. What do you think happened? Well know once were there! What good could Demon Yuan have done? Yuan Tian took her phone out and called Yuan Tangshuo while she ran. Father, send an ambnce over! Yuan Tangshuo made the necessary arrangements immediately without asking any questions. Yuan Tian rushed to Peace Mansion and entered through the side door. Neither Xue Meiwei nor Yuan Tangzhong was at home. Wen Ya was home alone because Yuan Zhe was at work. She was curled up miserably on the bed at the moment. The throbbing abdominal pain made her face extremely pale. Her purplish lips trembled out of fear and the attempt to suppress the difort. Wen Yas broke down when she saw that Yuan Tian and Mu Chenyan were here. Chenyan, Yuan Tian... Am I going to die? Yuan Tian rushed forward and held Wen Ya close to her. She pressed both sides of her lower abdomen and asked, Does it hurt here? Wen Ya shook her head. That was her appendix. She did not think that it was the source of the pain, but she could not pinpoint where it hurt either. Yuan Tians face darkened. Beside her, Mu Chenyan had no knowledge in the medical field, but she was all the more anxious just by watching the scene beside her. Tian Tian, what happened exactly? Whats wrong with Wen Ya? Yuan Tian asked in a low voice, Did you sleep with himst night? Mu Chenyan did not know why Yuan Tian asked that question. However, she could roughly guess the answer when she saw the terrible bruises all over Wen Yas body. She also noticed the faint traces of blood on the bed when she followed Yuan Tians gaze. There was no need to hide anything from Yuan Tian because she was a doctor, but Wen Ya was still slightly embarrassed because she was also Yuan Zhes younger sister. She merely cried and refused to speak. She was too afraid to mention the inhumane torture that she sufferedst night... Wen Ya, this is serious. Did you do it or not? Mu Chenyan was distressed and scared. Her tone sounded rather anxious now. Wen Ya nodded gently. Get changed quickly and prepare to go to the hospital! As she spoke, Yuan Tian had already started to take some clothes out of the closet. The ambnce arrived momentster. Wen Ya was about to faint from the pain, but she could hear Yuan Tian speaking to the medical workers, Check the condition of her corpus luteum first once youre back. My initial guess is that its ruptured... * Wen Ya had never imagined that Yuan Zhes abuse would force her to be hospitalized again in just slightly more than a month. Yuan Zhe was previously scared that his third uncle would find out about the whole situation, so he had sent Wen Ya to the Sheng Yu Hospital. Wen Ya had no choice this time. She was dragged to the military hospital in the ambnce that Yuan Tian had called. Yuan Tangshuo knew that Wen Yas ruptured corpus luteum and ashenplexion was caused by an excessively rough episode of sexual intercourse. Wen Ya would heal very quickly after the minimally invasive surgery. He called Yuan Tangzhong first to exin the situation. Yuan Tangshuo could not believe that he had experienced something like this. Second Brother, Yuan Zhes treatment of his wife is unprecedented in the Yuan Family. Have you been neglecting your duties as his parent? Yuan Tangzhong did not dare to retaliate when his younger brother chided him. His third brother was a stubborn person who did not have the habit of participating in most mundane affairs. However, he would bring the matter to the Old Mistress should the matter angered him. Things would certainly turn serious then. Yuan Tangzhong scolded Yuan Zhe inwardly. He urged Yuan Zhe to rush to the hospital to pay a visit. News of Wen Yas hospitalization had reached Zheng Shuyan in no time. This orthopedic surgeon who was usually an extremely mellow person had no time to calm down now. He did not care about arousing the suspicion of others. He was already waiting outside the entrance of the surgical theatre before Wen Yas surgery was over. Indescribable pain filled Zheng Shuyans heart when he saw her haggard face after she had returned to the ward. She looked like apletely different person. Little Ya, why didnt you tell me earlier that this b*stard was treating you like this? Zheng Shuyan guarded the woman on the hospital bed. The hatred burning inside him made it difficult for him to think straight. He would have stabbed Yuan Zhe to death if he appeared now, but that would still not be enough to dispel his hatred towards that man. Zheng Shuyan could tell that Yuan Zhe had abused Wen Ya more than just a few times. It was just that Wen Ya had endured the pain in the past when it was still tolerable. The abuse had clearly worsened. Zheng Shuyan realized that it could not be a coincidence for these two incidents to have urred consecutively. He could not suppress his rage any longer.

Chapter 304: Someone Was Murdered in the Yuan Family Mansion!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya was mentally and physically drained. There were no other patients with her in the room. The pristine white bed sheets went very well with the womans frail little face. Wen Ya held Zheng Shuyans hand weakly and murmured, Shuyan, dont worry about me! Im fine... In the future... Donte here and get involved because of me again. Im suffering because of my own actions... Uncontroble tears streamed down Wen Yas face as she spoke. Three hours had passed since her surgery. Aside from Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian, no one else from the Yuan Family had rushed here. Wen Ya did not allow Mu Chenyan to tell her parents that Yuan Zhe had neither loved her nor treated her kindly. The one who truly loved her was Zheng Shuyan! What was more, he was definitely the most innocent of all. She would not let him get involved in this no matter what. Zheng Shuyan was disappointed at Wen Yas inability to change, but he could never harm a hair on her head. Then, the man stood suddenly. He whispered, Are you only saying that because you think that Im alone and helpless in Luo Hai? Pain stirred at the bottom of Wen Yas heart. She forced a smile and said to Zheng Shuyan, You dont understand. Yuan Zhe is a cruel and unreasonable man. I dont want you to lower yourself to that madmans level! The Wen Family is already in this state. Im afraid that a lone person like you will suffer if you continue to have conflicts with him because of me. I cant involve you... Zheng Shuyan smiled faintly after hearing that. He bent down and took a white towel to wipe off gently the tiny sweat droplets on the womans forehead. He sat down and held Wen Yas cold small hands. His tone had clearly changed. Little Ya, whats the point of living if I cant protect you? Dont worry, violence isnt the only way to defeat our enemies. Sometimes we just need to outsmart them! Zheng Shuyans dark eyes were brimming with confidence. A faint chill rose in the depths of Wen Yas heart. She had no idea what Zheng Shuyan wanted to do. She merely hoped that this problem would end here. You cant... Little Ya, dont worry! Zheng Shuyans deep voice echoed. * Mu Chenyan had returned after buying some food. She was about to enter when she saw Zheng Shuyan was in Wen Yas room. They seemed to be having an intimate conversation. Mu Chenyan could not bring herself to go in and disturb them. Were they a pair of star-crossed lovers? Nothing caused greater pain than forbidden love! One could only understand Zheng Shuyans devotion to Wen Ya if they were in his shoes. While he was studying abroad, his close friends were basically young elite males from the local aristocratic families. Zheng Shuyan was the exception. He was rmended by his local university to study overseas as an exchange student. It was rumored that he came from a very average family. The Zheng Family had no means of supporting him when he furthered his studies. The good thing was that Zheng Shuyan was intelligent and hardworking. His future in medicine was looking pretty good. He initially had the opportunity to remain in Ennd, but he returned to Luo Hai because of Wen Ya. The aristocrats continued to look down upon him even though he was now a resident physician. Zheng Shuyan could only watch as the woman he loved was repeatedly hurt by others... Mu Chenyan had previously also descended to the lowest point of life despite her prosperous and wealthy background. She had experienced victories and defeats. Now she towered above these materialistic riches, but she could also keep her feet on the ground and admire this flourishing world if she wished. Mu Chenyan truly pitied Zheng Shuyan and Wen Ya. Chenyan, arent you going inside? Zheng Shuyan had left the room while Mu Chenyan was still staring nkly at the entrance. This man looked insipid but his eyes were as dark as whirlpools. They seemed deep and almost bottomless. Ive just arrived. I was about to go in. Mu Chenyan did not want to make things awkward for Zheng Shuyan. She noticed the delicate atmosphere between him and Wen Ya. Oh, hurry up and go in then. Little Ya cant eat anything because shes just gotten out of surgery, but she can have some fluids. Thank you for your help! Zheng Shuyan was unusually calm. He did not seem the slightest bit uneasy about what had just taken ce. Mu Chenyan had a moment where he thought that Zheng Shuyan was belittling the offsprings of aristocratic families... Mu Chenyan nodded and entered the room. Wen Yas eyes were red and swollen while the corners were stained with tears. Mu Chenyan ced the food that she had bought on the table. She was also hungry now after a rather busy morning. She served Wen Ya some millet gruel before the two sisters-inw ate together. Wen Ya, the Yuan household is a dangerous ce now. Youll be tortured to death by Yuan Zhe sooner orter if you continue to stay there. Do you n on living the rest of your life like this? Mu Chenyan cleaned everything after they had finished eating. After that, she sat down to talk to Wen Ya properly. Chenyan, itll be fine. These moments will end one of these days... Wen Yas face looked rather miserable. She bit her bottom lip firmly. * The domestic abuse case was only brought up to Yuan Tangshuo. In the end, no one informed the Old Mistress because Yuan Tangzhong had silenced the matter. Mu Chenyan thought that this conclusion wasughable. The Yuan Family seemed perfect on the surface, but it was unbelievably rotten at the core. Chenyan was still thinking about her secret meeting with Mu Chenwu. She wanted to investigate everything thoroughly as soon as possible so that her problems with the Yuan Family would finally end... She went to work as usual. When she came home, she interacted with Yuan Xuan just as she did in the past. Yuan Xuan thought that this was strange. He had always felt that this woman was a bit odd, but he could not put a finger on what exactly about her that was abnormal. The man merely wished that this secret war would end soon to prevent any more nightmares... * The major crimes department did not receive any serious cases during this period of time. The end of summer came in the blink of an eye. The weather was finally hot and dry, but there were light breezes to cool it down. Luo Hais warmest season of the year was here. The news office would n a vacation for its staff every year at this time. This year, Mu Chenyan had joined them as new blood. Zhang Xin had repeatedly told her in advance that this trip was worth looking forward to, just like all the previous ones... Mu Chenyan nced at the calendar. Almost a year had passed since she was released from prison. Time passed quickly. On this day one year ago, she was still kneeling in the corner of a dark gloomy room. Looking at the blue sky outside through a tinted window made her recall her carefree days in Xi Fan. Those memories provided a distinct contrast inparison to her days in prison. At that time, she never imagined that she would be released one day. Breathing in the fresh air, chatting to her colleagues, and nning an autumn vacation in Luo Hai were things that had never once crossed her mind... A sliver of hope rose from the depths of Mu Chenyans heart. She had started to anticipate this outing. However, certain changes had urred before her ns were finalized. Her holiday ns were ruined by a serious case that appeared out of the blue... Mu Chenyan went to work as usual. Before noon, Su Qingcheng ran over and invited her for lunchter. Wu Huai walked out of his office anxiously at this moment. He turned to his team members and yelled, Dispatch some officers quickly. Theres been a murder! His team members would hurriedly set out whenever these situations urred. There was no time for lunch or anything like that. Mu Chenyan grabbed her backpack and shot a nce at Zhang Xin. They wanted to go to the scene too! Then, Mu Chenyan noticed that Wu Huai was looking at her strangely. He turned to her before she could speak. He said in a solemn tone, Miss Mu, the reporting center at the police department just informed us that someone had been murdered in the Yuan Family Mansion! Frightened, Mu Chenyan broke out in a cold sweat. Her voice trembled when she asked, Who... Who was murdered? Chapter 305 - Yuan Zhe’s Death

Chapter 305: Yuan Zhes Death

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Frightened, Mu Chenyan broke out in a cold sweat. Her voice trembled when she asked, Who... Who was murdered? Wu Huai looked at Mu Chenyan and lowered his voice significantly, Eldest Young Master Yuan Zhe, the son of the Yuan Familys second son! Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans expression change rapidly. She seemed indifferent toward the victim. Mu Chenyan sighed in relief, but she was still confused. Was it an ident? she asked. We dont know. Well only find out once were there! Wu Huai left with his team members after he spoke. Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin brought their equipment before they followed him. * Yuan Family Mansion... Mu Chenyan noticed that the periphery of the mansion was already sealed. Wu Huai spoke to the guards at the entrance before he drove inside. There are several reporters inside already! Why did you bring more? The police officers who kept guard questioned Wu Huai while they nced at Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin. What? There are reporters inside? Wu Huai was puzzled. Wasnt the information about this supposed to be blocked off? These reporters were specially sent by the news office. How did the other reporters gain ess? Oh, those reporters came to interview Yuan Zhe. They were filming a program here before the murder suddenly happened. Youll understand once youre inside. Its strange... Mu Chenyan grew more and more confused after hearing this. Her heart was racing. All of the servants were gathered for an interrogation. Xue Meiwei was sent to the east wing to rest. She had fainted from too much crying. Yuan Tangzhong was away on a business trip. He knew that this incident had urred in his home, but he could not rush back in time. Yuan Xuan had not returned home either. On the other hand, Yan Jun was handling some business nearby, but he was instructed to go to the mansion first. Mistress, dont go inside! Yan Jun had surveyed the scene. He was worried that it would scare Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuan had sent him here to hold Mu Chenyan off. From the entrance to the hall, Mu Chenyan saw that the servants were huddled together. Their faces were pale as they were terribly frightened. Wheres Wen Ya? Mu Chenyan worried about her the most. There were two servants who usually worked for Yuan Zhe over here in Peace Mansion. One of them had returned to her hometown several days ago. Little Cui was the only one left. When she heard Mu Chenyans question, Little Cui replied softly, Mistress isnt at home today. She left early in the morning because she had work to handle in the office! Does she know about this? asked Wu Huai. Ive called her. Shell be back immediately! Little Cui was too afraid to look at the scene in the hall. Her head was lowered and her voice quivered terribly. Are they going to arrest us too? But we dont know anything... Wu Huai red at Little Cui and said, We want you here because we need to understand what had happened here. Well take you and the others to the station to record your statements soon. Were not going to just arrest people and dere that theyre guilty! Yan Jun, I want to go inside too! Mu Chenyan wanted to walk inside. When she noticed that Yan Jun was intentionally obstructing her, she quietly said, Yuan Xuan cant stop me either! Yan Jun finally relented when he saw the determined look in Mu Chenyans eyes. He realized that she could not be dissuaded. He trailed behind her and followed her inside. Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Zhe lying beside the sofa in the hall of the west wing in Peace Mansion. The man who usually possessed an impressive aura was currently reduced to a lifeless blob of twisted flesh. Wu Huai and the investigator from the forensic department were standing at the crime scene. The forensic expert was a young woman whom Wu Huai called Chen Hua. Preliminary investigations have shown that there are no obvious wounds on his body. He was probably poisoned orally. The victim suffered abdominal pains when the poison was administered. This caused his muscles to spasm, his heart rate to greatly increase, and his pupils to dte. His immediate cause of death is suffocation resulted from breathing difficulties. Chen Hua removed her gloves and mask as she told her Wu Huai her observations. Ill have to return and do an autopsy to determine the specific details. Poisoned? Wu Huai noticed that the other two reporters were still at the crime scene. The situation was moreplicated than he had expected. Those two reporters had seen Yuan Zhe dying with their own eyes. Nie Chaos case had painted Yuan Zhe in a bad light. Yuan Tangzhong had arranged an interview to improve Yuan Zhes public image. This programs attraction was that they would document a politicians personal and working life for one whole day. The previous scenes were shot while Yuan Zhe was working. Those scenes were already filmed several days ago, and the reporters had arrived to document his daily life at home today. They had never expected to witness an entire murder case during this documentation process. Wu Huai briefly read up about the two individuals who came to interview Yuan Zhe and did not have anything toment. Then, he went to the crime scene to survey the area personally. There was a tea set on the tea table in the hall. As there were three cups there, he could tell that Yuan Zhe, the reporter, and the videographer were drinking tea and chatting at that time. Tell me the sequence of events! Wu Huais deep voice echoed once he had had a look around. The reporter and videographer who came to interview Yuan Zhe were terribly afraid. Both of them spoke without coherence when Wu Huai interrogated him. Annoyed, Wu Huai waved a dismissive hand. Its the duty of the public to cooperate with police investigations. Both of you are elites in the field of journalism. Why are you so afraid? The reporters name was Ma Liping. She gathered herposure after hearing Wu Huais words and said, Captain Wu, it happened like this. Mr. Yuan agreed to be interviewed at 9:00 a.m. We filmed in the garden and in the living room. We left the garden and went inside because the weather was rather hot today. Mr. Yuan said that he wanted to make us some coffee after that. Did he make the drinks on his own? Wu Huai interrupted her and asked. Yes! He wanted to improve the publics perception of himself. The servants never appeared throughout the entire process. We had even filmed him making the coffee. Ma Liping nced at the videographer, Zhou Nan. He turned the camera on so that Wu Huai could watch the recorded footage. Yuan Zhe was dressed in a casual white tracksuit. His sleeves were rolled up and his wrists were exposed. Both Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhe had high standards set for the quality of lives. Instead of using a coffee machine, he grounded the coffee beans skillfully on his own. The grounded coffee beans were ced in a little crystal pot that was specifically used to make coffee. That little coffee pot was still on the table now. Mu Chenyan noticed that the little crystal container was still half filled with unfinished coffee. He poured it in three cups, one for each of us, once the coffee was done. Ma Liping shot a fearful nce at Zhou Nan. Are you saying that all three of you drank it? asked Wu Huai. Ma Liping nodded. Yes, we all drank it! Wu Huai looked at the three coffee cups on the table and said, Bring the cups here. Did Yuan Zhe give them out randomly? Yes, Mr. Yuan had even washed the cups in the sink first. He took one randomly after pouring the coffee. Shivers ran down Ma Lipings spine. Although they drank from the same pot of coffee, she realized that Yuan Zhe was the only one who was poisoned. The coffee was randomly poured into three cups, but the other two parties were unharmed. Captain Wu, could we have been poisoned too? Zhou Nan could not stop himself any longer and sneaked a nce at the corpse on the ground. His face turned pale from fright. Wu Huai could not waste another second. He turned to Little Jiang, the police officer, and ordered, Take these pieces of evidence back to be examined and bring these two people with you to have their statements recorded. Everyone else should follow him as well! Mu Chenyan and Zhang Xin trailed behind the photographer from the forensic department. They took a few photos and recorded the details of the case. Mu Chenyans heart felt hollow for some reason. This was the second murder case that had involved the Yuan Family! It was unlike the previous case with Qinger because her position and identity were different now... Chapter 306 - Yuan Xuan’s Repentance

Chapter 306: Yuan Xuans Repentance

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The incident happened in the afternoon. They had never imagined that something like this would happen at home. Everyone rushed to the crime scene in no time. Is the Old Mistress being looked after? The first thing that Yuan Xuan did when he arrived at the scene was to ask about the Old Mistress. That was because she was already so old, and he was the eldest grandchild of all. She was extremely fond of Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Zhe still had a special ce in her heart as her oldest grandchild. Shes settled down already. The Old Mistress had some problems dealing with the shock. She was crying earlier but she just wants to stay in bed now. The Eldest Young Mistress also cried herself to exhaustion several times... Yan Jun gave a brief report on the whole situation. Yuan Xuan nodded. His handsome face was faintly clouded over. He said tly, Go and call Doctor Bais medical team over. Make the necessary arrangements for them to stay in the Yuan household these few days so that they dont have to leave. Also, the food and water that enters the Yuan household must undergo strict testing. Only then can it be consumed after being thoroughly cooked through. Get several capable individuals to supervise this matter. Pick out a few of the original servants and ensure that only one servant remains in each mansion. The rest will be interrogated and their reemployment will only be discussed after that. Yan Jun took note of Yuan Xuans instructions and set about his tasks immediately. Mu Chenyan heard everything clearly from the sidelines. Yuan Xuan was worried that another poisoning case would happen in the future. Soon, Jiuer and Butler Fu were the only servants left in Upper Mansion. Ah Fu remained in Hibiscus Garden while Peace Mansion and Tranquility Mansion were respectively serviced by two servants that Butler Fu had raised since they were young. They would only consider taking back the other servants once the case was closed. Mu Chenyan had initially nned to return to the station with Wu Huai and Su Qingcheng. She had just started walking to the doorway with her equipment when Yuan Xuan came forward and grabbed hold of her. He whispered, Are you still going back there today? Mu Chenyan nced at the police officers around her. Some of them were busy collecting evidence and cing them in the bags. The others were either taking photos or sealing off areas. The forensic investigator had already set up a team to bring the corpse back for the autopsy. Some of Mu Chenyans colleagues became aware of the two of them when they saw Yuan Xuan pulling her aside. Those who knew about their rtionship thought, Third Young Master Yuan is naturally handsome while Miss Mu is enchantingly beautiful. Theyre truly a match made in heaven. Moreover, the Yuan Family is extremely influential. Now that one of hispetitors has kicked the bucket, the Third Young Master has be even more unstoppable in Luo Hai! However, there were others like Zhang Xin who were unaware of these details. When he saw the imposing man forcefully grabbing his goddess, he could not help but curse inwardly, Sh*t! Rich b*stards like him are truly shameless. How could he flirt with a beautiful woman now when such terrible things have happened to his family? He was even daring enough to try his luck with a beauty from the criminal police department. Would he simply seduce any gorgeousdy that he saw on the streets? There was a trace of annoyance on Mu Chenyans face. She sneakily used more force than she needed and attempted to push the mansrge hands off her. She had not expected that he would tighten his grip. I have to go back there because Im still on the clock, Mu Chenyan replied quietly. Yuan Xuans striking face darkened slightly. Im worried about you leaving! This case involves the Yuan Family but I dont know which of our enemies are trying to harm us! Although he usually detested Yuan Zhe, he was still one of the Yuan Familys sessors in the end. Yuan Zhes sudden death was not all just a pleasant surprise to Yuan Xuan. It had be also another source of anxiety for him. I want to follow this case. Im not a police officer so I dont have to worry about arousing suspicion. Why would they harm me if theyre only concerned about the Yuan Family? Mu Chenyan had no idea why Yuan Xuan was suddenly allowing himself to be swayed by his emotions. I know that you dont have to worry about that. But now that something had happened in our family, my heart will be extremely empty if you leave my sight. I dont want the incident that urred three years ago to happen again! Yuan Xuan was not being entirely irrational. Two strange murder cases had happened within these few years. The first case was the murder of Qinger that Mu Chenyan was falsely used ofmitting. He did not know who would suffer from todays murder. Only then did Mu Chenyan realize that Yuan Xuan was worried about this. She smiled gently and said, Im a different person now. You dont have to worry. I wont be so stupid as to let others frame me again... Yuan Xuan pulled her into his arms in one swift motion. He did not care that other people were looking at him. He ignored the struggles the woman in his arms was putting up as well. Chenyan, Im sorry! The mans voice was hoarse but seductive. This electrifying male voice had to belong to Yuan Xuan. Warm air left his lips as he caressed her forehead. Mu Chenyan was stunned. She could not understand why Yuan Xuan had suddenly said these weird things. I didnt protect you properly in the past! If I could turn back time, I would definitely change my decisions. I wouldnt allow other people to take you away during our wedding! I was selfish! Yuan Xuans sounded a bit like he was choking back a sob. Todays events had unearthed the uneasiness in his heart. If this had not happened, he would probably have trouble mentioning the death of Qinger and the fact that Mu Chenyan was framed and dragged away on her wedding day. He was certainly repenting for neglecting his duties and being selfish. Shao Yibai was right. He had paid a hefty price to get rid of Mu Feng. Basically, he had disregarded all costs. Certain things had crossed his mind today. If he allowed Mu Chenyan to leave him again, his world would probably crumble to pieces... I cant leave you! Otherwise, Ill truly die... This man, who was usually so reserved andposed, had openly expressed his deepest and most sincere feelings today. Things like restraint, indifference, and arrogance could go to hell! He had lost her for two years. This had forced her to experience so much suffering. She was a thorn in his flesh that could never be removed! Mu Chenyan had no chance to breathe when he held her tightly in his arms, but her heart was filled with warmth. She could not help but to wrap her little hands around his waist. The coldness, doubts, and confusion that lingered in her heart for a long time slowly vanished in this mans passionate embrace. Expressing himself had never been his strong suit. If he had not gotten upset earlier, he would probably have kept this in his heart for the rest of his life! Yuan Xuan, Id also die if I left you! So dont worry, I wont throw myself into the deep end like an idiot. Im only following this case because its part of my job. Itll be fine! Mu Chenyan buried her face against his chest. She did not care whether her colleagues were looking at them. She simply longed for his warmth. This scene greatly shocked the onlookers. Zhang Xin stared at his coworker in shock. This young mans reaction was slightly dyed inparison to everyone else. A thought suddenly shed in his mind. His goddess probably treated him coldly all the time because there was something between her and Third Young Master Yuan! However, their tender moment was suddenly interrupted. The couple heard a womans mournful voice while they were still intimately intertwined. Yuan Zhe... is dead? Mu Chenyan turned around and saw that Wen Ya was still dressed in her office wear. Her bony figure looked weak, helpless, and frightened. Her ashen face waspletely nk. She shot a questioning nce at Mu Chenyan when she saw her and Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan walked over and held Wen Yas hand. Wen Ya, Yuan Zhes dead. His body is in the car. Theyre taking him away for an autopsy... Wen Ya still seemed to be in shock. It looked like she was walking on cotton when she took shaky steps towards the corpse on the stretcher. Mu Chenyan could tell that Wen Ya was extremely conflicted. This man who had hit, tortured, and abused her had suddenly died. It was all over. He was still her husband though... Wen Ya lifted the white cloth and stared at Yuan Zhes twisted face. Her shoulders trembled violently. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and ran to the Japanese banana tree. She sorrowfully wept until she lost her voice. She sobbed and threw up the food she just ate... Chapter 307 - Wu Huai Turned Around, And His Gaze Fell on Mu Chenyan!

Chapter 307: Wu Huai Turned Around, And His Gaze Fell on Mu Chenyan!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans heart was conflicted. She truly did not know how to console her. Wen Ya had calmed down once she had finished crying. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her entire body trembled from exhaustion. Im sorry... Can I... Can I water the Japanese banana tree? The corners of Wen Yas eyes were streaked with tears. She mumbled something about the ground near the Japanese banana tree being a mess. Aside from Wen Ya, no one knew that her child was buried under the tree. How could she leave this area dirty? Of course! said the police officer who was busy taking inventory of the scene. He continued, But I have to remind you that this is a crime scene, Mrs. Yuan. You cant live here anymore because well have to seal itter. Wen Ya nodded. I know. She turned and entered the mansion as she spoke. She came out with a bucket of water to wash her vomit away from the bottom of the Japanese banana tree. She filled another two buckets to water the surrounding nts and flowers as well. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan exchanged nces. Yuan Xuan whispered, Wen Ya should live in Upper Mansion. Grandmother needs someone to apany her too. Wen Ya nodded. She turned to the police officer from earlier and said, Im going inside to take some of my personal belongings. Is that alright? The officer looked at Third Young Master Yuan before he turned to Wu Huai who was beside him. Wu Huai nodded. The officer said, Yes, but well have to examine the things youre taking with you. Im sorry, Mrs. Yuan. We have to question everyone inside this mansion now, but its just a formality. Wen Ya nodded. Understood. Im going to get my things now. * During the next few days, everyone in the major crimes department was extremely busy because of this case. On one hand, Yuan Zhe held an important position in the government sector. On the other hand, Yuan Tangzhong would have insisted that they solved this case as quickly as possible since it had involved the Yuan Family even if Yuan Xuan had not pressured them. They were also in a tight spot because the public was pressuring them. Many people had seen the crime scene online because this program was live streamed at that time. There were only a few people who had watched the live stream in the first ce, but it circted rapidly throughout the inte once they heard about the murder. Screenshots of the video started popping up everywhere. Fortunately, the members of the Yuan Family took action after that and took down all of them. However, the bad press surrounding this incident would continue to spread with each passing day should the case was not cracked. The city leaders even appeared to supervise the solving of the case on their own. Wu Huai felt very disheartened. There were many strange things about this case that they could not make sense of. The major crimes department had organized a meeting to discuss this. As Mu Chenyan had previously yed a big role in solving Sun Xus case, Su Qingcheng vouched for her right to sit in on the meeting. Mu Chenyan was incredibly touched while Zhang Xin could not believe her good fortune. Captain Wu, my fellow colleagues, the forensic department has determined that Yuan Zhe was indeed poisoned to death. The time of his death was 10:28 a.m. that day. The remaining coffee in the pot was also tainted. It might be a kind ofposite poison. Another set of tests need to be done before the exactponents can be determined. ording to the information that was provided by the reporters who were present, only 40 minutes had passed between when the coffee was made and when the poisoning symptoms began to appear. In other words, that was a lethal poison. Su Qingcheng showed everyone the slides with the details of the case before she informed them about the conclusion. Everyone thought it sounded very suspicious. They started discussing it among themselves. The poison was detected in the coffee pot and all three of them drank from it. Its a lethal poison but only Yuan Zhe died while the other two reporters are fine. How could that be possible? Did the coffee in the victims cup have the same amount of poison as the rest? asked Little Jiang. No, there was poison in the victims cup, but there was none in the other two cups. Hence, only one person died, answered Su Qingcheng. Could it be that the poison was ced on the sides of the cup? asked Mu Chenyan quietly. She was an outsider, but she could not help but ask this question because she thought something was not right about it. Su Qingcheng smiled. The reporters who were there also said that they saw Yuan Zhe taking three cups out. He even washed them in the sink before he randomly distributed them. If someone was trying to poison another party intentionally, theyd have to ensure that their intended victim used the tainted cup! The poison could not have only been ced on the inner walls of the cup. How would that exin the poison inside the coffee pot as well? Wu Huai responded. Are you certain that they drank from the same pot? asked Zhang Liang, the police officer. Yes, the reporter said that they drank the coffee while chatting for about half an hour. The victim then had a sudden reaction due to the poison he took in. No one touched the coffee pot after that. Su Qingcheng had no experience with cases like this since she had only started this job recently. She was merely rying the information that the forensic department had concluded from the investigation. It seemed as though dark clouds were looming above Wu Huais head. Cases like this that were without any main threads were enough toplicate his feelings and put him in a bad mood. He paced around the meeting room. His expression was extremely gloomy without the slightest hint of warmth. He asked suddenly, What did the servants say in their statements? Zhang Liang reported in a hurry, There were two of them who worked for Yuan Zhe and his wife in the Yuan Familys Peace Mansion. One of them left several days ago after requesting for leave. Cui Jinhua is their only remaining servant now. Little Cuis statement showed that she was usually in charge of cooking. Mrs. Yuan would cook asionally as well. The water that the victim drank before he died was taken from the water filter in his house. Wu Huai nced at Mu Chenyan after hearing that. The woman nodded gently in agreement. Has the water source been examined? asked Wu Huai. Zhang Liang answered, Yes, there were no signs of poison inside the clean water. Wu Huai sighed. He was so troubled that he pinched himself. This is so strange. How did the victime into contact with the poison then? Su Qingcheng nearly burst outughing. It was rare to see Wu Huai like this except when he encountered exceptionally troublesome matters. Wu Huai turned around, and his gaze fell on Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his face. His team members always thought that he looked uglier when he smiled than when he cried, and they were right. Miss Mu, how was Yuan Zhes rtionship with his wife? Mu Chenyan was already not used to seeing Wu Huai smile. She was even more shocked when she heard him mention Wen Ya. The other police officers nced at her simultaneously as well. Despite being an outsider here, Mu Chenyan seemed to know more inside information than them. Captain Wu, are you suspecting Wen Ya? She sounded rather impatient, and her tone was tinged with unhappiness. Naturally, she was aware of the torture that Wen Ya suffered during her marriage. His death meant that Wen Ya had escaped her violent abuser. However, her innocence was being doubted now. Miss Mu, please dont be swayed by your emotions. Im merely asking this as a mere formality! Wu Huai could tell that Mu Chenyan harbored personal feelings about this. Itd be easier for me to judge properly if youd give me an honest answer! Wen Ya will still be interrogated even if you refuse to answer. She was the closest person to the victim after all. Wu Huai continued to stare at Mu Chenyan after he had finished speaking. Mu Chenyan stood up. Her face clearly showed that she was upset. If this is merely a formality, you should just call Wen Ya here for questioning, Captain Wu. You dont have to ask me.

Chapter 308: We Have Definitely Overlooked Some Details

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Huai temporarily gave up when he saw that Mu Chenyan was not giving in. He looked at Su Qingcheng ncing at his other team members. He said in a low voice, Weve definitely overlooked some details! Wu Huai pondered for some time. He said suddenly, Bring those two reporters over. I want to interrogate them in person. Ill have to go through the materials that they provided again. Little Jiang, go to the Yuan household and call Mrs. Yuan over! He was really going to question Wen Ya. Mu Chenyans heart was troubled when she heard this, but she knew that it was wrong for her to be swayed by her own emotions. She turned to Wu Huai and whispered, Wen Ya is a pitiful person. If she really wanted to harm Yuan Zhe, she wouldve done something many years ago. She suffered in silence instead for a such a long time... Miss Mu, you have to put your sisterly bond aside when youre trying to solve a case. She would be questioned even if she didnt do anything wrong. You shouldnt be too bothered about this. When Wu Huai spoke, he noticed that Mu Chenyan did not bat an eyelid. He continued, Miss Mu, youll be questioned as well. Ive heard that the members of the Yuan Family have been at odds with each other... Captain Wu, go ahead and interrogate me. This isnt my first time! Mu Chenyans expression remained unchanged. As she spoke, Mu Chenyan rose and left the meeting early. Su Qingcheng rushed over to her. Chenyan, dont take Captain Wus words to heart. This is just a part of the investigation. Mu Chenyan smiled when she noticed that Su Qingcheng looked anxious. Im not afraid. I just feel bad for Wen Ya. But I know that this is merely one of the procedures to solve the case. Dont worry about me! * It did not take long for the Old Mistress to discover that Wen Ya was taken to the police department. She was infuriated when she heard that Wen Ya was their primary suspect. She called Yuan Xuan over and made him investigate the situation, and they should bring Wen Ya home immediately if she had done nothing wrong. Yuan Xuan behaved rationally. He consoled her by saying, Grandmother, I understand that you like Wen Ya, but the police have to do this when a murder is involved. They will have to interrogate me as well. You wouldnt have to worry too much about this. The Old Mistress sighed. Weve had an unlucky year. There have been two murder cases that involved the Yuan Family. Ruoxins death is still a mystery while my Zhe Zhe... The whole family could not mention Yuan Zhes death now. The Old Mistress would cry until she was out of breath whenever she thought of him. Yuan Xuan continued tofort her until his grandmother had finally calmed down. * Yuan Xuan left Upper Mansion and drove to Shao Yibais mountain vi. The young soldier had transferred several strong troops from Capital City over here because he felt lonely living in this huge manor by himself. They would ride horses, shoot, and spar with him every day around the manor. He busied himself with these things every day. Yuan Zhes death has made everything boring. Shao Yibai threw a pistol at Yuan Xuan. He loaded his own gun and fired 5 times at a target that was 50 meters away. He was a muscr and attractive man. The bones in his arms were strong and healthy while his muscles were also well-developed. He had no issue with controlling the guns recoil. Yuan Xuan looked at his results. He had gotten 10 points three times and 9 points twice. Yuan Xuan also liked shooting, but he could not beat Shao Yibai in terms of marksmanship. He loaded his gun and fired 5 shots as well. Shao Yibaiughed when he saw the results. That was terrible! Hmph! Im no match for you on the shooting range, but Im certainly better in the bedroom! Yuan Xuan smirked. He turned around and saw Shao Yibais lips tremble. He felt much better now. How do you know? Shao Yibai refused to back down. I made Daisy feel as though she was about to die from ecstasy... But how many times could you do it? I can do that anytime! Yuan Xuan gave a faint smile. His expression showed that he wanted to pick a fight with him... Shao Yibai felt miserabletely. Su Qingcheng hadpletely severed her ties with him after they slept together once. Her exact words were: Youve already gotten what you wanted, so our rtionship ends here! What?! What did she mean? Did she think that he only wanted her for her body? Was Shao Yibai really that kind of person? Nheless, he was certainly upset now that Yuan Xuan was making fun of him and it had truly been a while since hisst sexual intercourse. Shao Yibai wanted nothing more than to drag Su Qingcheng over here now. He wanted to trap her on his bed and make love to her for three days and three nights. Yuan Xuan would never dare to tease him ever again... That woman has no time for anything other than that case. I couldnt even get hold of her if I wanted to... Shao Yibai remembered that Su Qingcheng was basically living in the police department now. He became slightly dejected when he realized that he could not charge into the major crimes department and take that woman away. Little Chenyan is constantly busy too! Both of us have been sabotaged by Yuan Zhes death. Little Chenyan cant rest peacefully if this case isnt solved. She shouldnt have been a reporter! An affectionate smile appeared on Yuan Xuans face when he mentioned Mu Chenyan. The sight made Shao Yibais skin crawled. Hmph, she shouldve chosen a different career path if shed rather solve the cases than write about them! Your Little Chenyan certainly has big goals. Shao Yibai smiled and asked, What do you think of Yuan Zhes death? Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai sat at the tea table under the veranda. The servant came and served them some fragrant Pu-er tea. Yuan Xuan liked the Pu-er tea that Shao Yibai brought over. He had served in Yun Nan and Gui Zhou before and he still remained in contact with the locals there. They would always send him the purest Pu-er tea when the season came around every year. Yuan Zhe was an unreasonable b*stard with a violent temper. It wasnt surprising that this happened to him. However, the killer was very cautious as they managed to think of a seemingly wless way to kill him. The major crimes department cant even make heads or tails of the situation. Yuan Tangzhong is basically helpless now that Nie Chao and Yuan Zhe have died. He was forced to leave his sons murder case to the police as hes dealing with other matters. This is certainly a good opportunity for us to tie up our loose ends. Yuan Xuan pressed his seductive lips against the rim of his teacup as he spoke. When do you n to make your move? Not now. Yuan Xuan was still apprehensive about many things. The Old Mistress had yet to recover from Yuan Zhes death. Itll be too much for her to handle if we hurt Yuan Tangzhong now! Youre right. However, Yuan Tangzhong wasnt the only one who was seriously affected by Yuan Zhes death. He had previously maintained close ties with Mu Chenwu. Now that hes dead, Mu Chenwu is fighting a lone battle. He might contact Little Chenyan for help! said Shao Yibai. Id thought of that too. Ill make the necessary arrangements for Little Chenyan. Perhaps we can use this to expose him. Yuan Xuan seemed to have everything in the palm of his hand. The police will be investigating this case openly while I do the same in secret. I believe that the person who is hiding behind our backs will be unable to support himself sooner orter! Shao Yibai pondered for some time. Once this case is solved, Ill take Su Qingcheng somewhere and show her that its worth giving me a shot! * Shao Yibais wish would be fulfilled very quickly. The case was far lessplicated than they thought. The major crimes department immediately realized their mistake once they put their minds to it. Yuan Zhe had made two pots of coffee throughout the duration of the interview. All three of them drank more than half of the first batch of coffee once it was served. After that, he boiled more water to refill the coffee pot. He was the only one who drank the second batch of coffee; the two reporters only had the coffee that was made with the first pot of water... Go to the Yuan Family Mansion immediately and examined the water supply system there! instructed Wu Huai at once after he heard the reporters statements. Chapter 309 - Water Supply System

Chapter 309: Water Supply System

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion They did not notice this previously because they were misled by the reporters interview footage. Wu Huai had initially assumed that the interview footage was shot continuously. The thought suddenly crossed Ma Lipings mind when Wu Huai asked whether they had stopped filming in between scenes to add extra footage. She said, We took a break when Mr. Yuan went to replenish the coffee in the middle of filming. An advertisement was being shown on the live stream at that time... Wu Huai managed to confirm this through the website and the broadcasting station. A three-minute advertisement was being shown at that moment indeed. In other words, all three of you drank the first batch of coffee together, but Yuan Zhe drank the second batch by himself once it was refilled? Yes, thats right! Wu Huais thoughts had cleared up. Yuan Zhes second cup of coffee was the cause of their problems. This meant that the killer had already calcted that he would refill it and have another cup! Bring me Mrs. Yuans statement from her previous interrogation! Wu Huai ordered. Su Qingcheng knew that Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya were close friends. She noticed that Wu Huais attention was constantly focused on Wen Ya. She muttered to herself that nothing right was going toe out of this. Wu Huai watched all of the statements that were rted to this case. He sped his big hands together and quietly said, Im going to the crime scene again! * Wu Huai walked around the inside of Peace Mansion. The crime scene had been sealed since they finished their previous checks. Xue Meiwei heard that the police had returned. She reluctantly got up and went outside to look. Within a few days, this elegant and respected woman had now be terribly feeble. She became so skinny that she looked like apletely different person. Her only remaining servant supported Xue Meiwei as she walked. The woman said in a trembling voice, Captain Wu, youve been busy for so many days. Are there any new developments in the case? The major crimes department wont be able to rest as long as this case remains unsolved. Tangzhong has already spoken to our local representatives... Wu Huai nced at Xue Meiwei. He realized that this old woman had probably suffered terribly when she lost her son. Although he was usually an unyielding person, he became morepassionate now. Dont worry, Mrs. Yuan. Ill handle this case properly even if the local representatives arent pressuring me. Victims are still citizens regardless of their statuses as wealthy aristocrats ormon people. Its my duty and responsibility to solve these cases. Wu Huai spoke gently and behaved humbly. He was respectful towards Xue Meiwei because she was about the same age as his mother. Frankly, he had initially refused to deal with aristocratic families. As a normal person who was used to the chaos of everyday life, he was not used to these wealthy individuals who looked down upon everything. Xue Meiwei chuckled dryly. Thank you for your trouble, Captain Wu! Since youre here again today, what can I do for you? Please let me know. Wu Huai asked tly, What was Yuan Zhe and his wife Wen Yas rtionship usually like? Xue Meiwei became slightly agitated when Wu Huai asked about Wen Ya. Her eyes shot open while her voice became more high-pitched. Did Wen Ya do this to my son? No, youve got it wrong, Mrs. Yuan. Im not asking this because Im suspicious of Wen Ya. This is merely a formality. We have to ask about the people who were rted to the victim in close detail. Yuan Zhes murder happened in his own home. Everyone here is a suspect, including the servants! Xue Meiwei still had some trouble believing Wu Huai once he had finished exining everything. Among the people in their household, Wen Ya was definitely one of them who hated Yuan Zhe the most. She was obviously aware that Yuan Zhe had abused Wen Ya. The only person whom they were hiding this from was the Old Mistress. The mistreatment was an open secret in Peace Mansion. Wen Ya might seem like a mild-mannered person, but she was not aplete pushover. She was famous among the female entrepreneurs in Luo Hai for her sess in the National Arts Commerce. Why would a woman like her subject herself to such abuse? Frankly, my daughter-inw may seem gentle and faultless, but her rtionship with Yuan Zhe has been fraught with problems, Captain Wu. Yuan Zhe had a temper, so it was inevitable that they would fight sometimes! Wen Ya is a cunning and calctive woman. You dont have to show her mercy if you discover that she was involved in this! Xue Meiwei seemed to have made the decision to sever her ties with her daughter-inw. She had never wanted this woman as her daughter-inw, so how could she be good enough for her son? Wu Huai nced at Xue Meiwei and nodded. I wont be lenient no matter who the killer is! * Su Qingcheng dropped by in secret with Mu Chenyan. The corners of Wu Huais lips curled upward into a smirk when he saw Mu Chenyan. Miss Mu, you should really think about changing jobs! Youre too kind, Captain Wu. Youre a criminal police officer despite your background as an elite in the business world. Im merely an outsider who came to watch the exciting events unfold! Mu Chenyan knew that Wu Huai was reluctant to involve her. This was the best time for her to be thick-skinned. Miss Mu, dont forget that you could also be a suspect! I havent forgotten. Im following you so that you can interrogate me whenever you like! Mu Chenyan smiled. Wu Huai did not say anything and focused on Peace Mansions west wing instead. Nothing had changed since the murder happened here, except for the human outline that was drawn with a white color pencil. This was done to mark the original location where the corpse was found. Wen Ya had moved to Upper Mansion. Although Qinger and Wen Ya had never been close, Qinger was friendly toward her when she arrived. They acted like a pair of close sisters in front of the Old Mistress. They were even considerate of each other. Wu Huai circled the hall and inspected it before he went to the dining room and kitchen. Miss Mu, does the entire Yuan Family use the same water supply system? Wu Huai asked Mu Chenyan this when he noticed that there were two water inlets in the kitchen. Theyre basically the same! Mu Chenyan came over to inspect it as well. She pointed at a slightlyrger faucet. We usually use the bigger tap to wash our ingredients and cutlery. There was another water inlet next to it. A slightly smaller faucet was connected to this one. It had a screw-like handle. Mu Chenyan pointed at the smaller faucet, saying, The Yuan Family imported this water filter from Germany. These filters are installed throughout all the mansions. The filtered water can either be drank cold or hot from here. This handle is used to control the water temperature. She knew these things about the house because she usually cooked at home with Ah Fu. Wu Huai pulled the handle. Cold water came out of the left valve while hot water came out of the right one. Can you drink this water directly? asked Wu Huai. He knew that certain aristocrats were so spoiled that they never drank the water from local sources. He stayed away from arrogant and picky people like them because he was not used to their behavior. Yes, we can drink it directly. This water is sourced from the Hundred Grain Mountain Spring at Autumn View Mountain. It bes super clean once it passes through the water filter. We usually just drink this water at home instead of getting water from other sources. Mu Chenyan noticed that Wu Huais expression had darkened once she finished speaking. The man seemed lost in his own thoughts. Suddenly, he kneeled down and opened the door of the bottom cab. He saw that the pipes connector was hidden inside there. Wu Huai called loudly for the technician, Liu Qi. Little Liu, remove this connector for me. I want to look inside. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng exchanged nces. They had no clue what Wu Huai was doing. Liu Qi came over with his specialized tools and removed the pipe efficiently. Chapter 310 - I Felt Nothing When Yuan Zhe Died

Chapter 310: I Felt Nothing When Yuan Zhe Died

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy @Trantion Liu Qi came over with his specialized tools and removed the pipe efficiently. He revealed the internal structure to Wu Huai. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng took the opportunity to sneak a few nces as well. There was a Y-shaped divider at the valve connector where the sink was turned on. Wu Huai signaled Little Jiang to take a water sample from both inlets. He also instructed Liu Qi to take the detached valve connector back to theboratory to have it tested. Mu Chenyan had no idea what Wu Huai was thinking. Captain Wu, are there any new developments? Wen Ya asked quietly. She had just walked out of the door that led to the main hall. Wu Huai had not seen Wen Ya for several days. She looked weaker now than she did during the interrogation. There was a pitiful look in her dark, sunken eyes. Mrs. Yuan, were just here to collect some water samples to be tested. Wu Huai spoke gently. Wen Ya nodded before she murmured, I hope the case will be solved soon. Mrs. Yuan, do you mean that sincerely or... Wu Huai paused. He stared at Wen Yas pale little face sternly. He attempted to detect if she was hiding something by scrutinizing at her expression. Captain Wu, I honestly felt nothing when Yuan Zhe died! Wen Ya smiled gently and said, Youve been investigating this case for such a long time. Youre probably aware that Yuan Zhe was constantly abusing me. When he died, I felt like Id finally escaped from him. Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng truly felt bad for Wen Ya when they saw the miserable smile on her face. Wen Ya, dont say that... Mu Chenyan tried to stop her. Chenyan, Ive always been the biggest suspect. The things I said wont change Captain Wus impression of me! Wen Ya turned to Wu Huai when she spoke. Wu Huai hesitated for a moment before he fixed his gaze on Wen Ya again. His deep voice echoed as he said, Mrs. Yuan, thats only true because you had a likely motive to murder him! Yes, indeed! Ive been enduring this torture for such a long time. Its indeed a possible motive for me to kill my husband to get away from him. You did the right thing when you began your investigation by suspecting me. I dont me you for that. You asked me if I truly wanted the case to be solved, or if I was merely pretending. Well, I truly wanted it to end! Wen Ya paused. Tears glistened in her red-rimmed eyes. Youll see that Im innocent once the case is solved... Mu Chenyan walked over and held Wen Ya while she sobbed. Wen Ya, youre definitely innocent. Dont cry. The truth will be revealed sooner orter! Wen Ya smiled and nced at the hall before she turned to Wu Huai. She said, Can I go inside and look around? Wu Huai was unaware of Wen Yas intentions. He pondered and said to Su Qingcheng, Little Su, go inside with her. Su Qingcheng followed his orders and followed Wen Ya into the hall. Nothing had changed since the day of the murder. Aside from several cans of snacks and the coffee pot that they usually used, everything else on the coffee table including the tea set had been taken to the major crimes department as evidence. Wen Ya went into the kitchen. She saw that the faucet and the connecting pipes inside the bottom cab were already removed. The things inside the wine rack in the dining room were untouched. Wen Ya looked at the wine rack. She pointed at a container of sugar cubes at the top of the wine rack and asked Su Qingcheng, Why didnt you take this as evidence? Su Qingcheng took the sugar container down from the wine rack. She asked, Whats inside? Wen Ya was puzzled and rather shocked. Sugar cubes! Were you unaware that Yuan Zhe puts sugar cubes in his coffee? Su Qingcheng stared nkly. Wed previously taken a can of sugar cubes to be tested in theboratory! Those two reporters saw Mr. Yuan adding sugar cubes from a transparent crystal container. Does this container contain sugar cubes too? Su Qingcheng was confused. She examined the exquisite wooden sugar container several times. This little purple can seemed like an antique. The borders on top were also rimmed with gold. Su Qingcheng would have assumed that it was a jewelry box if Wen Ya had not said anything. These are mint vored sugar cubes. I dont know where Yuan Zhe got them. He liked weird things. Hed add these strange sugar cubes to his coffee whenever he drank it. I thought that you took it away... Wen Ya took the wooden sugar container from Su Qingcheng when she spoke. She opened it to reveal the square sugar cubes that were neatly arranged inside. They were wrapped in a fine wrapper and ced inside the box. The box was previously full! Wen Ya was shocked. Her trembling hands nearly dropped the box but Su Qingcheng rushed over and took it from her. Captain Wu, we have a situation here! Wu Huai immediately rushed over when he heard Su Qingcheng yelling. Su Qingcheng passed the box of sugar cubes to him. These are Yuan Zhes special sugar cubes, but one cube is missing! * Wu Huai brought the new pieces of evidence back to the police department. The forensic department took the sugar cubes and water samples from him to be tested in theboratory. Mu Chenyans heart was pounding erratically. Yuan Xuan said that he would pick her up after work, so she rushed out of the police department. Yuan Xuans car was already waiting for her outside the entrance. Whats wrong? You look upset! Yuan Xuan could tell that his woman was in low spirits. He held the steering wheel with one hand and held her palm in the other. He pinched and caressed it however he liked. His teasing soon made Mu Chenyan forget her worries. Drive properly! The woman blushed as she pushed his hand away. Yuan Xuan was not annoyed by her rejection. He merely smiled and trained his eyes on the road in front of him while trying to glimpse any changes of his wife from the corner of his eye. Mu Chenyan had a long day. She dozed off within seconds. Upon waking up, she realized that they had not returned to Hibiscus Garden. They were at a hot spring resort in the mountains instead... Why are we here? The manuscripts that she wrote these past few days were only half done. She had initially nned to finish them at home, but she was suddenly dragged here. Her expression showed that she was a bit upset as the man pulled her into the hotel lobby. Mr. Yuan, should we adjust the temperature of the water in your reserved room again? Mu Chenyan heard the receptionist say to Yuan Xuan respectfully. Apparently, this man had nned everything beforehand. He had even reserved a room! Its fine. Send over the Japanese food that I ordered earlier in awhile. My wife is very hungry! Yuan Xuan tugged at Mu Chenyan and smiled gently. Mu Chenyan recalled that Yuan Xuan had previously mentioned a nice vacation spot that Shao Yibai had discovered. He said that he wanted to let her experience it. He was probably referring to this ce! There were numerous hot springs in Luo Hai but only a handful of them was authentic. The genuine ones were usually found in the outskirts of town. Yuan Xuan had definitely driven his sports car at an incredible speed to reach this ce in an hour. They were surrounded by green hills and crystal clear water. They felt as though they were in paradise when they entered their room. The interior of the room was decorated with Japanese furnishings. There was also a huge floor-length window in the main hall that allowed them to see past the horizon in one nce. Outside the window, there was a staircase that led downward to a spacious open-air hot spring. As this particr hot spring could only be essed through this path, the pool was only meant to be used by the guests who stayed in this room. It was the beginning of autumn, and the night air was a bit chilly. Mu Chenyan waspletely exhausted. When she saw the wide, pool-sized hot spring, she suddenly felt the urge to jump inside. Ill go with you once weve eaten and rested! Yuan Xuan hung his coat inside the closet. He murmured beside Mu Chenyans ear, I love ying in the water with you... Chapter 311 - Your Stamina Is Terrible, My Little Chenyan

Chapter 311: Your Stamina Is Terrible, My Little Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan ate a lot during dinner. Frankly, she ate whatever she wanted without one bit of hesitation, so she was incredibly full at the moment. She was so thin that her t little abdomen still looked taut even if she felt bloated when she removed her clothes. Mu Chenyan grabbed her swimsuit. She was about to put it on when Yuan Xuan stopped her. Why are you wearing a swimsuit? Yuan Xuan threw the ck bikini aside. In Japan, men and women treat each other respectfully despite sharing the same pool. Why would you need a swimsuit when were the only ones here? Mu Chenyan groaned. She was still somewhat hesitant. Her body that was wrapped in a towel flushed red. Im embarrassed to go in naked... Please let me... Embarrassed? Yuan Xuan smirked yfully. Havent I seen every inch of your body already? Mu Chenyan bit her lip. A resentful look appeared on her face as she hesitated. She knew that this man harbored ill intentions. She was right. She could already feel the scorching heat radiating off his body when he carried her downstairs while she was still d in that towel. They were about to have a romantic encounter in the water soon. The water was adjusted to a suitable temperature. The woman was able to rx both mentally and physically very soon. Mu Chenyan leaned against the sidezily. Yuan Xuan poured a ss of red wine for her and ced it on a floating wooden nk. The womans eyes were barely open when the nk drifted toward her. She lifted her hand and took the wine ss. She pressed her lips against the rim and took a sip. The smell of alcohol was slightly intoxicating to her. After all, she was not used to drinking. She merely drank a tiny sip out of courtesy. Her husband approached her the moment she put the wine ss down. He said in a deep voice, Why dont you take another sip? Mu Chenyan shook her head. She felt sluggish and had trouble keeping her eyes open now. She was exhausted after these past few busy days. All she could think about is sleep after submerging herself in the pool. Alcohol was the cause of many problems. Mu Chenyan made a mental note to drink responsibly. However, she had underestimated Yuan Xuans domineering personality. Suddenly, he covered her lips and stopped her breath from leaving her mouth. Mu Chenyan moaned quietly as warm liquid trickled past the gaps between her teeth... Mmm... In a moment of panic, Mu Chenyan wrapped her arms around the mans shoulders. His breath was moist and frenzied... Yuan Xuan chuckled. Little Chenyan, I like this side of you! Mu Chenyan blushed delicately. She looked like she was waiting for him to have his way with her. This made her indescribably alluring... Are you trying to take advantage of me again? Mu Chenyan shook her head. Her eyes were misted over. She pleaded in a small voice, Im so tired... You dont have to move. Ill do it... His hands started moving impatiently as he spoke. Mu Chenyan moaned, but she covered her mouth when she realized suddenly that they were still out in the open. Her eyes darted back and forth frantically. Lets go to the bedroom... Yuan Xuan ignored her pleas. He lifted her with his hands and flipped her over. Her smooth back was now flushed after being soaked in the hot spring. Yuan Xuan kissed the top of her head gently. Then, his lips moved to her ear before making his way down... He was meticulous and careful. Not a single inch of her skin was neglected... Mu Chenyans body trembled and tensed under his lips. Her little hands grabbed the shiny pebbles beside the pool as she endured the burning heat teasing her from behind. She bit her lips firmly to silence herself. Her cheeks were bright red now. In the end, she could not stop herself from moaning quietly... Baby, these feelings are perfectly normal. Dont hold back... Yuan Xuan started moving again as he spoke. Mu Chenyan sighed softly. The water sshed about... The waves rippled as the couple intertwined themselves intimately. Moan for me, Little Chenyan... Yuan Xuan whispered in her ear. Mu Chenyan sobbed quietly and refused toply. In the end, she cried out and even yelled until her throat became hoarse... Before Mu Chenyan fainted, she heard the manin unhappily, Your stamina is terrible, my Little Chenyan. Damn, he was so close! * Yuan Xuan held his wife in his arms and carried her out of the pool. Mu Chenyan slept soundly that night. Yuan Xuan yed with her hair and kissed her face. She had no idea that Mu Chenwus subordinates had ambushed Sheng Yu while she and Yuan Xuan were frolicking in the water. They had attempted to kidnap Yan Mei... Yuan Xuans phone screen shed when Yan Jun called him. He opened the sliding door and walked to the balcony to avoid disturbing the woman who was sound asleep. Sir, you were right. Mu Chenwus men ambushed Sheng Yu Hospital. Fortunately, our defenses were already in ce beforehand. Mrs. Mu is safe. Yan Jun was in awe of Yuan Xuans foresight. Yuan Xuan turned his head and looked through the floor-length window. He saw the woman turn over on therge bed in the bedroom. He whispered, Tell them not to mention this to the mistress. Yan Jun nodded and agreed. Yuan Xuan had personally picked the mistress up from work earlier tonight. He took her out to rx because he wanted to prevent her from thinking too much about such upsetting things. Dawn broke, and the exhausted woman woke up to Yuan Xuan pressing light kisses on her lips. She opened her eyes and met his dark pupils. His eyes were like two deep and ancient ponds in which steady undercurrents surged. He resembled a perfectly satisfied person who was filled with happiness. Lets return to Luo Hai... Dont you want to stay a little longer? Youve been working so hard these few days. I hate seeing you so exhausted. Yuan Xuans voice was deep and affectionate. Mu Chenyan actually liked this quiet ce very much. However, she feared that Yuan Xuan would ravish herpletely if they hid here as if they were Adam and Eve. What about your work? Im the boss! Youre an irresponsible, greedy boss who only cares about himself then! Yuan Xuan was about to fasten the buttons on his white shirt, but his hands paused when he heard Mu Chenyans retort. This woman was already arguing with him when her eyes could barely open themselves. He sighed. It seems like the mistress still has some energy to spare. Mu Chenyan realized that she hadnded in hot water when he said that... The mans warm lips touched hers in an instant... Mu Chenyan moved her head away in a failed attempt to hide from him. This man had an endless supply of stamina. It seemed as though she could never fulfill his needs. ... It was almost noon when Mu Chenyan finally managed to escape from Yuan Xuan. She did not have to report to the police department today since it was a weekend. Nheless, the major crimes departments staff were still busy with other cases aside from Yuan Zhes case. Mu Chenyan nced at her phone and noticed that she had one missed call from Su Qingcheng. An ominous feeling rose in her heart. She returned the call immediately. Chenyan, where are you? Su Qingchengs tone was slightly frantic. What happened? Mu Chenyan grabbed her clothes and put them on just as Yuan Xuan came out of the bathroom. He asked, Arent you going to take a shower? Youre still drenched in sweat. Su Qingcheng understood what was going on when she heard Yuan Xuans voice through the phone. A faint smirk appeared on her face. Did I intrude on a private moment? Its over... The words escaped Mu Chenyans mouth before realized that it was a trap. Hurry up and tell me whats going on. Dont change the subject. Zheng Shuyan surrendered himself to the police. Do you want toe over and take a look? * Mu Chenyan was not entirely surprised by this conclusion. Zheng Shuyan was not a stranger to her. She was also aware of his feelings toward Wen Ya. His motives tomit this murder were so apparent. Mu Chenyans heart ached still. This abnormal feeling left her confused. Inside the major crimes departments interrogation room, the man was dressed in white from head to toe. He was as proper, elegant, andposed as always. Zheng Shuyans calm demeanor allowed him to remain poised in situations like these. Mu Chenyan looked at the man through the monitor. It seemed as though she had been transported back in the past. She saw a younger Zheng Shuyan standing beside Wen Ya. He was dressed in white as well, and his smile was incredibly bright. However, fate was cruel. Who knew that Luo Hais renown orthopedic surgeon, an angel who had saved countless patients on the operating table, would be a murderer one day... I poisoned Yuan Zhe to death! Zheng Shuyans tone was indifferent. I figured that it was time for me to confess because the investigations were almostplete. Wu Huai was interrogating him himself. He had been at this job for over a decade, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Unlike the average suspects, this man seemed to belittle everything. He was unbothered by his status as a murderer. His attitude showed that he was not in touch with reality. There was not a slightest hint of panic on his handsome face. Mr Zheng, I hope youre aware of the risks of giving a false statement. Youll be forced to assume legal responsibility if that happens, warned Wu Huai. Wu Huais sense of justice was apparent on his stern face. I know. Zheng Shuyan chuckled darkly. Why would I be worried about being charged with giving a false statement when Ive already killed someone? Wu Huais gaze were locked on Zheng Shuyan. Tell us how you poisoned him. Zheng Shuyan gave a faint smile. I assume that youve found the can of mint vored sugar cubes by now? Wu Huai was stunned for a moment. Then, he asked in a low voice, What sugar cubes? Ill show you where they are if you havent found them yet. Zheng Shuyans gaze shifted toward the surveince camera. He said, Wen Ya, Im sorry. For some reason, Mu Chenyans heart felt as though it was being wrung dry. Tell us what happened! Wu Huai had always regarded Zheng Shuyan as someone who came prepared. People like Zheng Shuyan handled their tasks with extreme caution and attentiveness. Werent there two servants who served Yuan Zhe in Peace Mansion? Wu Huai nodded when he heard this. One of the servants had already given her statement while the other one was said to be on leave. They could not locate her all this while. You dont have to look for the other servant because Ive handled everything for her already. Youll never see her in Luo Hai again, said Zheng Shuyan while a faint smile glimmered in his gaze. Her father was recently diagnosed with chronic leukemia, a terminal illness. It wouldnt make any difference whether they treated him or not, but his daughter wanted to save him no matter what. However, she couldnt afford it. I paid for the patients treatment out of my own pocket when I took him in. The girl wept tears of gratitude and asked how she could repay me. A sinister smile appeared in the corners of Zheng Shuyans eyes. A lot of things made sense to Wu Huai after he heard that. So youve known that she was the Yuan Familys servant all along? Im just a doctor, not a god! Zheng Shuyan leaned back against his chair when he said this. His posture remained elegant. Of course I had another purpose in mind when I offered to pay for her fathers medical expenses! What happened next? I injected M36n into Yuan Zhes favorite mint vored sugar cubes. After that, I gave it to the servant and told her to take it back with her. Zheng Shuyans smile turned stranger and harder to read when he said this. M36n was a new lethal poison that I developed. It wasnt clinically tested, but the results were rather satisfactory. Mr. Yuan Zhe was myb rat! Chapter 312 - He Forced a Kind Person like Me to Be Cruel

Chapter 312: He Forced a Kind Person like Me to Be Cruel

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zheng Shuyans words filled Wu Huai with rage. Doctor Zheng, have you forgotten your oath? A mocking look appeared on Zheng Shuyans attractive face. The corners of his mouth dipped downward. He looked at Wu Huai and said tly, Captain Wu, are you saying that its my duty to cure illnesses and save lives? Wu Huai gave him a stern re but remained quiet. I know that, of course. Ive been performing my duties virtuously all this while. But what was the point? Ive saved so many lives but I still feel guilty. My mother died a slow death at home while I was in university because she couldnt afford her treatment. Ive saved so many lives but I could only watch helplessly as that wretched b*stard tortured the woman I loved! Ive saved so many lives but I was no match for Yuan Zhes schemes. Expelling my sister from university was a piece of cake for him. My brother was also forced to close his restaurant because Yuan Zhe sent people to damage it... Wu Huai listened without saying a word. His expression darkened. He understood the conflict and pain in Zheng Shuyans heart. He forced a kind person like me to be cruel! Zheng Shuyans lips tugged into a faint smile. He continued, I didnt want to frame any innocent parties. I just wanted to kill Yuan Zhe. Thats why his weird sugar cubes were such a great starting point. He wouldnt let anyone else drink the coffee with his mint vored sugar cubes! Mu Chenyan heard everything clearly despite being outside the interrogation room. It seemed that Zheng Shuyan had devising this murder since Wen Ya was first hospitalized. You couldve chosen many other ways to poison him. Why did you insist oncing the sugar cubes with the lethal substance? Wu Huais gaze fell on Zheng Shuyans side profile. He seemed lost in thought. You have a point. I couldve poisoned his food or water instead. However, this wouldve increase the chances of harming Wen Ya. Zheng Shuyans gaze softened when he mentioned Wen Ya. He also suppressed his voice and spoke in a gentler tone. I picked a day when Wen Ya wouldnt be at home. It was also the day of Yuan Zhes interview. I wanted many people to witness the moment when this devil received his rightful punishment! A look of madness appeared in Zheng Shuyans eyes. He tapped his fingertips gently against the tabletop. He was tremendously pleased with himself. Did you forgot about the overwhelming public pressure that would follow when you picked the day of the live stream? We had to put all the more effort into the investigation because of this. Wouldnt that increase your chances of getting caught too? Frankly, Wu Huai realized that they would not have prioritized this case over the others if it had not left such a huge impact online. I never wanted to escape! Zheng Shuyanughed. You dont have to arrest that servant either. She waspletely unaware of the fact that I had given her a poisoned sugar cube. She only came looking for me when she heard about this case. She asked me if I had used her, so I gave her a huge sum of money and told her to rx and hide. The truth to the case was revealed, but Mu Chenyan still felt that something was amiss. She could not tell where the source of her intuition came from though. Wu Huai noticed that his assistant was sorting out the statements. He asked all of a sudden, Im guess that Wen Ya yed a part in this too? Zheng Shuyan was shocked. His initially calm face abruptly turned savage. He roared, Youre all devils! Wen Ya has gone through so much, but you still refuse to let her off. You keep insisting on bothering her! Youre supposed to pay attention to the evidence when youre solving a case! You have to prove that Wen Ya was involved in this crime. You cant just make things up. Little Ya is innocent. She cant handle your suspicions!

Chapter 313: Mu Chenyan Anxiously Lowered Her Head When the Words Brother Xuan Escaped Her Lips

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Even in death, an evil person like Yuan Zhe still managed to drag Zheng Shuyan down with him. Mu Chenyan was torn when she thought of Wen Ya. Yuan Zhes death was supposed to give Wen Ya a second chance at love. However, Zheng Shuyan was in deep trouble now. Mu Chenyan thought, What would Wen Ya do now? A frail woman threw herself on Mu Chenyan when she left the police department. She grabbed Mu Chenyan with her little hands. Chenyan, did Zheng Shuyan really turn himself in? Mu Chenyan was shocked when she realized that this woman was Wen Ya. She noticed the hopeful look in Wen Yas eyes. Wen Ya desperately wanted Mu Chenyan to refute these ims. Wen Ya, lets... Lets go home! Mu Chenyan dragged Wen Ya toward the parking lot. No! Wen Ya pushed Mu Chenyans arm away. That ce has never been my home... How could Zheng Shuyan kill somebody... Hes such a kind person. Youve wrongly used him... I killed Yuan Zhe so the police should arrest me instead. Zheng Shuyan would never kill anyone... said Wen Ya tearfully. She lunged toward the police department. Mu Chenyan noticed that Wen Ya was extremely emotional. She rushed over and held her. Wen Ya, calm down! Wen Ya had trouble eating ever since her husbands murder. She threw up anything she ate. Her fragile body continued to grow weaker as she was unable to consume food. She could not break away from Mu Chenyans grasp. Chenyan, let me go. I need to see Zheng Shuyan... I must tell him that... I love him... Wen Ya wailed loudly. She spared no effort to struggle past Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan kept a tight grip around Wen Yas waist and refused to let go. Wen Ya, rx. Im going to see Wu Ze... Hes the bestwyer in Luo Hai. Hell fight for Zheng Shuyan... Wen Ya wept pitifully. Tears streamed down her eyes. She had almost freed herself from Mu Chenyans grip during their physical scuffle. Wen Ya stopped crying when she heard what Mu Chenyan had said. Chenyan, is that true? Would Wu Ze really do that? Mu Chenyan knew about Wu Ze and Yuan Xuans personal rtionship. Frankly, she was unsure whether Yuan Xuan would insist on taking the Yuan Familys side. Mu Chenyan would be forced to constantly pester Wu Ze if Yuan Xuan disagreed with her. Dont worry, Wen Ya. Ill do everything I can. Ill ask Wu Ze for help. Zheng Shuyans case will be filed for a public prosecution. Dont act rashly because itll upset Zheng Shuyan... Mu Chenyan stroked Wen Yas messy hair while she spoke. Her heart ached terribly when she saw that Wen Yas miserable little face was stained with tears. Chenyan, Ill leave this to you then... Wen Ya sobbed before she following Mu Chenyan into her car obediently. Mu Chenyan called Tian Qi and asked him toe over to drive Wen Yas car back. ... Hibiscus Garden... Yuan Xuan noticed the gloomy expression on Mu Chenyans face when she returned home. The womansplexion was looking well after they had soaked in the hot springs together, but she lookedpletely worn out now. She even chased Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet away when they came over to y with her. She looked very troubled. News of the murderers surrender reached the Yuan Family Mansion in the afternoon. Yuan Xuan guessed that his wife was probably upset because of this. He recalled that Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya were good friends. He must pay for the murder with his life. Its useless for you to get so upset about it. Yuan Xuan brought Mu Chenyan a blueberry vored yogurt drink. He inserted the straw and passed it to her. Mu Chenyan took it from him. She pressed it against her lips and took a sip. The cool sensation and sweet taste instantly made her feel slightly better. Yuan Xuan, would you stop me if I asked Wu Ze to represent Zheng Shuyan in court as hiswyer? Mu Chenyan wanted to know Yuan Xuans position in this matter. Yuan Xuan was seated on the other side of the sofa. There was a lot of space between him and Mu Chenyan. He crossed his legs and held a cigarette between his fingers. Taking a small puff, he exhaled out ring after ring of smoke. He remembered soon that Mu Chenyan did not like it when he smoked, so he snubbed out the cigarette on the ashtray right away. He murmured, Im sorry. I forgot that Mistress hates it when I do this! Mu Chenyan was secretly amused. This man obviously pretended to be terrified of his wife, but who would have thought that he would look so good while he was at it? Well have to see what Wu Ze thinks. Im fine as long as he agrees to take on the job. Yuan Xuans tone was indifferent. Ill let Mistress arrange everything. Mu Chenyan was a bit shocked. A hint of curiosity shed in her eyes as she looked at Yuan Xuan. This means that youre supporting my decision to go against the Yuan Family... Yuan Tangzhong would definitely think that she was betraying the Yuan Family if she went and hired Luo Hais bestwyer for Zheng Shuyan. Yes. Dont worry, Ill settle everything with the Old Mistress. She wont even think of getting in your way. The man narrowed his eyes as he spoke. A smile appeared on his handsome face. It looked like he was taking credit for Mu Chenyans work. He was seemingly asking his wife to hurry up and praise him... Mu Chenyan was could not help but be moved by his words. Brother Xuan, you... Why are you so nice to me? Mu Chenyan lowered her head frantically when the words Brother Xuan escaped her lips. Her cheeks were flushed, and her heart was beating rapidly. She would only refer to him this way when she was feeling emotional. However, she was perfectly fine earlier. Something must have riled her up and caused her to react this way. This affected Yuan Xuan as well. His entire body turned limp when he heard her gentle calling. This woman was bing more and more adorable. Yuan Xuan recalled her cold demeanor when she was just released from prison. He had previously assumed that his Little Chenyan would never be the same ever again... The man leaned toward her. He reached over to the other side of the sofa and pulled his wife into his arms. Mu Chenyan felt the scorching heat radiating off his chest when she leaned into his embrace. She saw his Adams apple bobbing up and down when she lifted her head. His eyes were also filled with anticipation. Mu Chenyan buried her face in his chest. Silly girl. Who else am I supposed to be nice to if not to you? The stubble on Yuan Xuans chin grazed against the top of Mu Chenyans head. You are too kind to me... Mu Chenyan wondered what their rtionship would be like if it was not marred by misunderstandings and arguments. Would they be a couple that everyone else envied? Youre right. You mustve saved the universe in your previous life. Thats why God sent me here to reward you! Pfft... Mu Chenyan could not help butugh when Yuan Xuan said those silly things with a straight face. She nuzzled her round and fuzzy head closer to his chest. Whats so funny? Do you think Im lying? Yuan Xuan rarely made jokes, but this one seemed rather effective. This woman looked very happy. No, its not that I dont believe you. I just felt that everything feels too good to be true now. Mu Chenyan paused. Yuan Xuan identally tickled her with hisrge hands when he was caressing the stray hairs beside her ear. Mu Chenyan wrapped her little hands around his waist tightly. She longed to spend the rest of her life like this. Im afraid that Ill wake up one day and this dream will end. Everything will vanish into thin air, including you... Mu Chenyan knew that she was only saying these things because she had been there to witness all the misfortunes that had happened between Zheng Shuyan and Wen Ya. Yuan Xuan was unaware of that. He merely assumed that she knew something that he did not. Little Chenyan, please remember that Ill love you no matter what happens! It has always been this way! Yuan Xuans Adams apple bobbed up and down. Hisrge hands tightened themselves around her as though he was afraid that she would leave. This was the first time Mu Chenyan heard him said that he loved her. The corners of her eyes dampened... Their love had nevere easily. Chapter 314 - Don’t Worry, I Trust Yuan Xuan

Chapter 314: Dont Worry, I Trust Yuan Xuan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The cold autumn breeze filled the night. Dim moonlight shone on the hibiscus in front of Hibiscus Garden. The ground was tainted red by all the fallen petals. Yuan Xuan stood on the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers. Sparks flew from the cigarette, and a gloomy expression shed across his face. He took a long drag before he turned to look at the woman on the bed. The love bites could still be seen on her smooth shoulders. Time had passed in the blink of an eye. They have been married for three years, but they had actually known each other for fourteen years before that. However, they had only spent less than a year together as an actual couple. He would lose control of himself every time he desired her. He could not stop himself from leaving marks on her body. It seemed like he was marking his territory and dering his dominance. This woman belonged to him! Yuan Xuan knew why his mind was filled with worries. Shen Muqius men had already had a few conflicts with Mu Chenwus subordinates at the Southeast Region several times. There was also a possibility that Mu Feng was still alive! Yuan Xuan immediately thought of Mu Chenyan the moment he discovered this information. Mu Feng knew that Mu Chenyan was Yuan Xuans weakness. He had used his daughter as a means to manipte Yuan Xuan in the past. * Wu Ze seemed to be in a good mood when Mu Chenyan contacted him. Chenyan, youre finally learning to ask me for help! Mu Chenyans heart was filled with warmth. She murmured, Big Brother Wu, I hope this case doesnt cause you too much trouble. Wu Ze pondered for some time. He said, Chenyan, its impossible for me to prove that the used is innocent! Yes, I understand. The best result we can hope for is a lighter sentence with a decrease in his jail time by a few years. Perhaps we can avoid the death penalty as well. Wu Zes tone turned serious as he continued to speak. However, Yuan Tangzhong wont let Zheng Shuyan off easily. After all, he murdered the only sessor of the Yuan Familys second son! This was also the issue that worried Mu Chenyan the most. Big Brother Wu, Ill leave this to you. Please do what you think is best! Dont worry. If this case was too difficult for me, no one else in Luo Hai would be able to handle it. Ill do everything I can to help you. Its just that, will the pressure of the Yuan Family be too much for you? Yuan Xuan will help me! Wu Ze chuckled when he heard that and let out a sigh. When did Third Young Master Yuan turn into his wifes ve? Mu Chenyan was slightly embarrassed when he said this. She thought of Wen Ya when she hung up. She wanted to keep her in the loop to prevent her from getting worried. Wen Ya was still staying in Upper Mansion. Aside from Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tian, the other members of the Yuan Family knew nothing about the rtionship between Wen Ya and Zheng Shuyan. The Yuan Familys reaction waspletely different from Wen Yas when they discovered that the killer had surrendered himself. Mu Chenyan did not want to see the Old Mistress. She texted Wen Ya and told her toe to the garden between Upper Mansion and Hibiscus Garden. It was the beginning of autumn. The leaves in the garden had turned a splendid color. Mu Chenyan wore a coffee-colored fluffy woolen sweater and waited near the colorful red and yellow leaves. Wen Ya was dressed in a white sweater. Herplexion was getting more and more pallid. Attorney Wu has agreed to take on the case. Mu Chenyan led Wen Ya to a bench and sat down. Wen Ya was so touched that she burst into tears all of a sudden. Chenyan, Im greatly indebted to you for this... You dont have to thank me, Wen Ya. After all, we dont know the final verdict yet. Youre staying with the Yuan Family. Its good that they havent discovered the link between you and Zheng Shuyan for now. This will prevent more problems from popping up! Wen Ya nodded. Except for Qinger. Shes asked me so many questions about the case recently. She seems so interested! A dull pain throbbed in Mu Chenyans heart when Shu Qinger was mentioned. She furrowed her eyebrows and the corners of her lips curled downward. Try your best to avoid her. Shes evil! Mu Chenyan had a terrible impression of Shu Qinger. She recalled how Shu Qinger had manipted Xia Tao and attempted to get rid of her and Su Qingcheng in C City. She had even nned to kill Liang Zihan for revenge. Shu Qinger was gradually bing a permanent member of the Yuan household now. Mu Chenyan realized that Shu Qinger was rotten to the core when that woman tried to push her into the pond. Yes, I know. But I realized that she had really changed when she returned this time. A doubtful look shed in the depths of Wen Yas eyes. Mu Chenyan had wanted to say that the Shu Qinger they had interacted with in the past was just a fake personality she created to trick everyone in the past. To tell the truth, she had always been like this. However, she quickly changed her mind. After all, this matter did not have anything to do with Wen Ya. Chenyan, you should still be wary of Qinger though... Wen Ya hesitated for a moment. Her hesitation indicated that she had something else in mind. Mu Chenyan could sense a hint of uncertainty in Wen Yas wavering gaze. Dont worry, I trust Yuan Xuan! Mu Chenyan said firmly. She had never considered Shu Qinger as a rival because of her faith in Yuan Xuan. Wen Ya nodded. You may say that, but... She could not bring herself to continue. If Mu Chenyan trusted Yuan Xuan so much... Wen Ya, tell me what you heard! Mu Chenyan had a bad feeling about this. Before Yuan Zhes murder, the Old Mistress had thought about getting Yuan Xuan to file a divorce with you... Wen Ya stopped halfway and observed Mu Chenyans expression. Mu Chenyans heart dropped when she heard this. She pursed her lips, but her gaze was empty. The Old Mistress has disliked me for a long time. She didnt know that Qinger was alive then, so she could never force her grandson to marry a woman who had a heart transnt. But everything changed when she found out that the woman was Qinger. Naturally, shes not going to let that opportunity pass now! Wen Ya heaved a sigh. She continued, The Old Mistress is just being silly. You and Yuan Xuan are a match made in heaven. Why is she meddling with your rtionship? The Old Mistress single-handedly raised Qinger, and Yuan Xuan happened to be there at that time as well. They kept herpany ever since they were children. Watching them grow up together gave the Old Mistress an idea. She wanted them to marry each other in the future so that they would remain with her. Mu Chenyan sneered coldly. But Yuan Xuan focused his attention on me after we met each other. The Old Mistress couldnt bear that her rtionship with Yuan Xuan was now strained! Wen Ya noticed that Mu Chenyan had analyzed this with a rational mind. She was highly in awe of her intellect. The Old Mistress has mentioned this numerous times since I had moved into Upper Mansion. Youve probably guessed the reason as well. Wen Ya sighed after saying that. I never gave birth to any children despite being married to Yuan Zhe for several years. Now that devil has been punished for his crimes... A few days ago, the Old Mistress told Yuan Xuan that the Yuan Family line might end if they didnt hear any good news from you soon! Mu Chenyan could imagine the scene when she heard Wen Yas description. She simply sneered. However, she could not confess to Wen Ya that she was secretly using birth control pills all along. What did Yuan Xuan say? Mu Chenyan valued Yuan Xuans opinion highly. Wen Ya thought that it would be better to lie, but she was worried for Mu Chenyans future. Yuan Xuan merely said that hed wait and see... Mu Chenyans heart sank. She had initially assumed that it did not matter whether she had a child with Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan thought that Yuan Xuan would simply tell the Old Mistress that he would always stay loyal to her. Apparently, he had yet to make up his mind! She felt a stabbing pain in her heart. His tender affections toward her instantly turned into insults. Their lovemaking sessions every night were nothing but missions that needed to be aplished now... Mu Chenyans expression darkened. Wen Ya realized that she had been saying more than she needed. Chenyan, dont let this bother you. I was merely reminding you to be prepared for everything! Our circumstances arepletely different. Yuan Zhe and I never loved each other. Now that hes dead, I have no choice but to leave the Yuan household. I dont belong here and I dont n on taking anything with me. Wen Ya held Mu Chenyans hands as she spoke. Her words were undeniably sincere. Dont act rashly. Your mother is still in the hospital. Make sure that you have an edge over the Yuan Family in case they decide to treat you cruelly in the future! Do you understand? Chapter 315 - Old Wounds Reopened When Enemies Met Again

Chapter 315: Old Wounds Reopened When Enemies Met Again

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya held Mu Chenyans hands as she spoke. Her words were undeniably sincere. Dont act rashly. Your mother is still in the hospital. Make sure that you have an edge over the Yuan Family in case they decide to treat you cruelly in the future! Do you understand? Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya wanted the best for her. However, she was still a prideful woman. How could she ept anything from the Yuan Family if that day evere? Dont worry, Ill definitely find a way to take care of myself if I leave! This thought had crossed Mu Chenyans mind before. Nheless, she knew that she could support herself by working as a frence reporter. Her ability to speak French fluently would also be an added advantage. Mu Chenyan pitied Yuan Xuan now. This mans backyard had never been peaceful... * Liu Li Vi... It was already the beginning of autumn. Fruity fragrances wafted around the old manor. It was a beautiful sight. If Shen Muqius men were not stationed here, Yuan Xuan would have brought his little glutton along from home so that they could stay here for a few days. However, Yuan Xuan had brought someone else with him this time. This was the first time that Shao Yibai crossed paths with Shen Muqiu at Liu Li Vi since thetter returned from abroad. The scene became chaotic when the three men were together. There was clearly an unwanted third party here. Shen Muqiu had fled with his remaining family members after the Shen Family was defeated. They wandered about the borders of the underworld. Within a few years, the sessor of the Shen n managed to broaden his influence. He emerged swiftly as a new and influential figure among the underground forces in the Southeast Region. This troubled the opposing side. Shao Yibai had previously led his troops to ambush Shen Muqius subordinates in the Southeast Region. This happened when Shao Yibai was serving in the special forces. Shen Muqiu suffered terrible losses that time. He also failed to retrieve the remains of his fallenrades from Shao Yibai. This happened before Shen Muqiu transferred his forces. It was one of his few local operations. After that, Europe became his main battleground once he shifted his activities there. Old wounds reopened when enemies met again. These two men would have probably attacked each other at first nce if Yuan Xuan was not here. Mr Shao, I hope that youve been well since ourst meeting! When Shen Muqiu thought of his fallenrades, the scar on his face that was formed by a knife wound became more obvious. The attractive man had a bloodthirsty aura about him. He red at Shao Yibai and clenched both of his fists! Shao Yibais expression sank when he noticed Shen Muqius raging and murderous intent. Mr. Shen, Ive been quite well. Thank you for your blessings. Then Mr. Shao, do you still remember my brothers who had died by your bullets? Shen Muqius eyes were bloodshot. These two men were almost the same height. Electricity surged between them when their gazes met. I was merely serving the nation bypleting my mission. Ive retired now. You already know who you should be looking for if youre seeking revenge! Shao Yibai appeared rather listless when he spoke. His demeanor angered Shen Muqiu. The man lifted Shao Yibai by his cor. He roared, Theres a perpetrator behind every injustice. I should take my revenge on you now while youre right in front of me! Shao Yibai responded by behaving like the spoiled arrogant Young Master of Capital City. Shen Muqiu, do you think Im afraid of you? Why are you staring at me with those cowbell-sized eyes? Are you going to get your revenge? Come on, show me what youve got! He effortlessly grabbed Shen Muqius wrist and pulled him toward himself. He wanted to flip Shen Muqiu over while only using a small amount of force. Shen Muqiu was quick to respond as well. He had already used his legs to steady himself before Shao Yibai could restrict his movements... The two men began to throw punches at one another. A serious brawl had broken out between them within three minutes of their encounter... Ming Yang and Tian Qi were both worried that their bosses would be defeated. They were itching to have a go at it as well. They eyed each other before these two men decided that they should also fight! A scuffle broke out between Ming Yang and Tian Qi too... Yuan Xuan was thirsty just now, but the Bi Luo Chun green tea that Sister Liu brewed was still steaming. A satisfied look appeared on the mans face while he sipped his tea. He sat at the tea table on the veranda and looked at the other four people fighting! Not bad. Shen Muqiu, pay attention to your left... Shao Yibai, aim downward when youre hitting him... Ming Yang, dont even think about using those dirty tricks! Tian Qi is an honest opponent. Tian Qi, youre not supposed to hit your opponents face during a fight. What have I taught you... Third Young Master Yuan was being unhelpful and extremely judgemental! Wounds quickly appeared on the faces of all four men. Shao Yibai had an advantage when it came to fistfighting because he had experienced numerous battles. His physique was also clearly superior. Meanwhile, Shen Muqiu looked more savage now. There were more wounds on his face in addition to the original scar on the left side. He spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, F*ck. Why did you bring him here, Yuan Xuan? How dare you drink my tea without helping me? Cant you see how badly Ive been beaten? Frankly, Shao Yibai was not in much better shape. His windbreaker now resembled a pile of torn rags on his body while his chin was slightly swollen. The faintest touch would result in throbbing pain. He straightened his body and drew his lips back before rubbing his chin. His temper red up when he narrowed his eyes and saw the carefree look on Yuan Xuans face. Damn, I cant believe that I was beaten up right away when I followed you here. I didnt even get anything to eat or drink. Why do you look so f*cking happy? Young Master, that was really mean... This was almost too much for the honest and simple-minded Tian Qi to handle. He wiped the traces of blood off the corners of his mouth. This blockhead who was used to listening to orders did not dare to look Yuan Xuan in the eye. Nheless, he had voiced his thoughts. Aside from Ming Yang, the men who fought earlier had their attention on Yuan Xuan now. They had finally found amon goal. Yuan Xuan lifted his teacup and narrowed his eyes. He sipped his tea. Youre all finally united! I thought that youd only let this matter rest once youd fought each other to death. Yuan Xuan, I respect you. Otherwise, I wouldve beaten him to a pulp today... Shen Muqiu sighed. He furiously spat those words out before he returned to the vi to change his clothes. Hmph, as if! Shao Yibai was unconvinced. He sat right next to Yuan Xuan when he saw that Shen Muqiu had left. He snatched the teapot from Yuan Xuan and poured a cup of tea for Tian Qi and himself. He was terribly thirsty after the fight. Mr. Shao was not the slightest bit concerned about elegance and merely gulped down the tea. Shen Muqiu came out of the vi in a short while once he had changed his clothes. He was dressed in sporty gray-colored casual wear while band-aids were stuck all over his forehead. Nheless, he still looked attractive. On the contrary, Shao Yibai looked terrible. This made Shen Muqiu feel slightly better. Why did you bring him here? Shen Muqiu could not understand why Yuan Xuan brought Shao Yibai to Liu Li Vi without even telling him. Shao Yibai snorted, You make it seem like I wanted toe. If I knew that you treated your guests like this, I wouldve stayed far away even if you invited me! Yuan Xuans dark eyes werepletely emotionless. He red at the two men who were abined age of fifty as they argued back and forth. I invited both of you here for a meeting! Yuan Xuan said indifferently. Hmph! Hmph! Both men indicated their disdain for each other at the same time. Yuan Xuan ignored them. He pressed his palms together and ced them in front of his forehead. He continued, Mu Feng might still be alive! Shen Muqiu and Shao Yibai were not surprised by this. Shen Muqius men have had conflicts with Mu Chenwu already. They realized that an army veteran must have helped this loafer n his military tactics in the mountainous regions. Shen Muqiu immediately suspected that someone else was there with Mu Chenwu. This person was definitely a master of mountain and jungle warfare. Mu Feng, who had fought with him in the past, was the one who thought of all the military tactics. Chapter 316 - So Much for His Germophobia

Chapter 316: So Much for His Germophobia

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What has he been up to? asked Shao Yibai. Mu Chenwus subordinates ambushed Sheng Yu Hospital two days ago. They attempted to kidnap Mrs. Mu. This was probably part of Mu Fengs n to use Mrs. Mu to trap Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuans gaze turned piercingly cold when he mentioned Mu Chenyan. That woman could never think straight when her family is involved. Im worried that Mu Feng might manipte her when the timees. We must ensure her safety before weunch our attack! Shen Muqiu sneered, Ill agree to help you, but you already know my conditions! Yuan Xuan knew that Shen Muqiu lived on the edge. He had gotten used to Shen Muqius penchant for setting conditions for everything long ago. After all, he had known him for many years. Yuan Tian isnt a little girl anymore. She can make her own decisions! Yuan Xuans tone was cold. Shen Muqiu was being very straightforward about his goal, but Yuan Xuan hated it when others tried to pressure him. Nheless, he knew that Shen Muqiu had a reason for helping him in Ennd despite the difficult circumstances that they were facing in the past. Now that Shen Muqiu had returned, he knew that it was impossible for him to hide from this any longer. Alright, its settled. You have your woman, so I want mine. You cant interfere when Yuan Tian makes her decisionter. Shen Muqius gaze was dark and cunning. Shao Yibai knew that Shen Muqiu had a goal in mind, but he was unaware that this devil was carrying a torch for Yuan Xuans younger sister. Shao Yibai looked on in disgust at the mans savage behavior. Shameless! Shao Yibai snorted. I could destroy the remaining members of the Mu Family without your forces... Shen Muqiu huffed when he heard Shao Yibais remark. Do you really think that we could just depend on you? Youre merely a soldier! Damn! I nearly shot you to death. Do you really think that you should beughing at a soldier like me? I shouldve gotten rid of you then and there. I allowed a scumbag like you to escape but youre just spewing nonsense everywhere! Shao Yibai could not stand to look at Shen Muqius face. He abandoned his poise and focused on personal attacks instead. It was happening again! Yuan Xuan was terribly worried. Mr. Shao should have minded his words before he called Shen Muqiu a scumbag. Why would Yuan Xuan ask a scumbag to fight for him... Yuan Xuan waved his hands to calm Shao Yibai down. Youre a righteous man. However, we cant just rely on yourwful connections if were nning to destroy someone like Mu Feng. Shen Muqius forces arent based locally, so he can leave right away once everything is over. We wont have to worry about any problems in the future! Shen Muqiu was extremely pleased. He raised his eyebrows at Shao Yibai. He was implying that people like Shao Yibai were clearly useless because they followed the established rules strictly. Meanwhile, Shen Muqiu was free to do whatever he liked... What am I going to do then? Shao Yibai wiped the traces of blood off the corners of his lips with his hand. Dont tell me that Im supposed to protect your Little Chenyan! Well leave Little Chenyan to Su Qingcheng! Yuan Xuan smiled. But Ill need you to make the arrangements for it. Shao Yibai was quite pleased with this task. It seemed like he finally had a proper reason to approach Su Qingcheng now... Also, Yuan Tangzhong will be my target for now. He recalled that Yuan Tangzhong and Mu Feng had worked together for many years. Yuan Xuan had to get rid of Yuan Tangzhong before his connections grew evenrger than it was now. He would encounter serious problems down the line if he was badly wounded. You have to inform Old Master Shao about this soon. Yuan Tangzhongs forces in Capital City must be wiped out before our operation starts. My men in Capital City will work together with Old Master Shao. Yuan Xuan gazed into the distance as he spoke. Im not going to give him a chance to escape. Shao Yibai nodded. He was burdened with a difficult task now. He was unsure whether his old mans forces would be sufficient. If they were not up to the mark, he would need to return to Capital City to assist them personally. In other words, Luo Hai will face a drastic change soon. Shao Yibai sneered, Ive always loved a good fight. However, the stakes are certainly higher this time. We have to think this over properly. Shen Muqiu thought about it for a moment when he heard that. He asked, Have you decided on a time and ce to carry out this operation? Well do it after the Yuan Familys Mid-Autumn Festival banquet! Yuan Xuan replied without any hesitation. His murky eyes were fixed on the nearby scenery. The cold autumn breeze blew, but a thunderstorm wasing! * Zheng Shuyans case was basically settled. The drugs discovered in the sugar cubes were an exact match to the ones that had used to poison Yuan Zhe. The suspects confession corresponded with the evidence as well. It was just that Zheng Shuyans surrender seemed too much like a coincidence. There was an indescribable yet conflicting feeling in Wu Huais heart. The final matter was to transfer this case to the judicial authorities for them to press charges. This case would be rather tricky to handle because Yuan Tangzhong was breathing heavily down their necks. Nheless, the staff of the major crimes department could finally rx now that they hadpleted their task. Captain Wu, you should take us out for a treat! Little Jiang had always been one of the livelier members of the team. When could they ask the captain for a reward if not now? Wu Huai also felt that it would be alright to go out and have a little celebration. After all, everyone had worked hard these past few days. Alright, its my treat! When his face Wu Huai softened and he spoke in a gentle voice, everyone realized that he was actually an extremely kind and good looking man... The staff of the major crimes department invited Zhang Xin and Mu Chenyan as well. Su Qingcheng would also be there to keep Mu Chenyanpany. They ate at a hot pot restaurant first before someone suggested to go to a karaoke bar. Wu Huai agreed at once. He seemed to be in a good mood today. Everyone cheered. Wu Huai decided to sing in front of everyone for the first time that night. Nothing was more exciting or touching than that. He sang Back From Target Shooting Practice, Green Flower of the Army, and We Soldiers... The crowd was speechless. Wu Huai had chosen some oldies, but he sang them beautifully. Everyone unanimously agreed that Captain Wus talents were wasted in the criminal police department. He should have been a singer instead... The members of the criminal police force who were usually serious and restrained had grown sluggish and rxed once they had sung and drank merrily. They shouted and pumped their fists. The lively atmosphere was filled with the sound of happy chatter. Mu Chenyan was secretly troubled by this. After all, this joyous asion was only happening because Zheng Shuyan was arrested. Her mind was burdened, and she had a hard time breathing because of the smoke. She decided to go outside for some fresh air. This was the biggest and most upscale venue in Luo Hai. She could tell that Wu Huai came from an influential background. He had chosen the best ce to take his guests out for a treat. Mu Chenyan walked along the corridor before she found a quiet corner in the venue and leaned against the wall. There was a transparent French window that allowed her to look down at Luo Hais bustling, brightly-lit nightscape from above. Leave me alone... Mu Chenyan returned to her senses when a familiar female voice echoed along the long corridor behind her. A woman was stumbling along in the dark. She seemed rather tipsy. Why are you disturbing me... You have your Little Chenyan... I know that you dont care about me... Am I right? Grandmother said... She wants you to divorce her... You can marry me once youve left her... Shu Qinger sobbed quietly. She cried as she desperately hit the man who was trying to hold her. Mu Chenyan felt as though her heart had dropped into an icy hole when she recognized the man... Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows. His expression was obscured in the dim light, but the contours of his face could be seen clearly. Shu Qinger wailed and kicked up a big fuss. Her slightly torn clothes made her a pitiful sight. It seemed like she had ripped it on purpose. She sounded miserable when she said, Youre lying... Why did you save me... Dont you feel like youre indebted to me now... Mu Chenyan could not understand what she was rambling about. Her head was only filled with the sweet nothings that Yuan Xuan whispered in her ear during one of their happier moments. Little Chenyan, I suffer from germophobia but... Im obsessed with your body. Its the only thing that Ill never reject... I cant get enough of you... That irritating man was actually making an exception now. He picked up the troublesome woman up and carried her toward the elevator... So much for his germophobia! Chapter 317 - Yuan Xuan Flew into a Rage

Chapter 317: Yuan Xuan Flew into a Rage

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Jun could see Yuan Xuans gloomy expression through the rearview mirror. He was still carrying Miss Qinger. Yan Jun jumped out of the car right away and opened the door. Yuan Xuan carried Shu Qinger to the car and stuffed her in the backseat. He sighed in relief. This woman had put up a strong fight earlier. He was gasping for breath now. Yan Jun was too afraid to ask any questions. He watched his boss remove his wrinkled suit jacket before throwing it in a nearby trash can. He understood then that Yuan Xuans germophobia was acting up again. That piece of clothing waspletely useless to Yuan Xuan now. It was covered in snot and tears. Judging from Yuan Xuans temper, Yan Jun knew that he could not stand situations like these. However, what Yan Jun did not know was that Yuan Xuans shirt was once covered in snot and tears as well when Mu Chenyan was dazed with the fever... The other woman was still sobbing in the car. Her wails were getting louder and louder. Yuan Xuan... Youre a terrible person... Youve forgotten everything... If it wasnt for me... You wouldve died in Ennd long ago... Yuan Xuan narrowed his eyes. The handsome man leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette. He had unbuttoned the two buttons near the cor of his white shirt, exposing his seductive corbone, muscles, and tanned skin. His body waspletely wless. One could tell that Yuan Xuan was in a bad mood. The arrogant aristocrat was seething with rage. Shu Qingers shrieks was making his solemn expression all the more ominous! He hated being indebted to others, but it hated it more when they tried to guilt-trip him! Yan Jun was too afraid to make any remarks. Yuan Xuan attended a dinner party right after he left the office. He had rushed here with his staff when he received a phone call during the banquet. He walked out of the club with Miss Qinger in his arms in less than half an hour. Yuan Xuan smoked for a while. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the entrance to the club. Several momentster, a group of men charged outside. Tian Qi led the way while the rest trailed behind him. Each of his subordinates was restraining another man in their arms. Yuan Xuan threw the cigarette butt away when he saw them. It seemed like a dark cloud had shrouded his face. These men were beaten ck and blue. Shivers ran down their spines when they recognized that this demonic man was actually Yuan Xuan. They copsed on the ground and wailed pitifully. Third Young Master Yuan, we didnt know that this chick was one of yours... We wouldnt haveid a finger on your woman if wed known earlier. Wed never be brave enough to do that! Yuan Xuan remained silent. His cold eyes scanned across the four trembling men on the ground without saying a word. A foolish chubby man with a greasy face rushed over and grabbed the bottom of Yuan Xuans pants. Third Young Master, weve suffered enough beatings. Please let us go this time... Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the mans fat hand tugging at him. He simply raised his foot and kicked him without a second thought. The man held his chest after being kicked two meters away. He gasped for breath because of the pain. Almost a minuteter, the man sighed quietly once he had caught his breath. His face was a ghastly purplish shade now. The others feared for their lives after witnessing this. They were so scared that they took several steps backward. They were too afraid to step forward and provoke this godlike man. They could not stop shivering despite the one-meter distance between them and Yuan Xuan. Were in trouble. Were in big trouble! they murmured. Yuan Xuan took another box of cigarettes out of his pocket. He lit one and took a puff. His expression was abnormally serene when he exhaled ring after ring of smoke. Suddenly, he muttered, Get rid of them. Theyrepletely useless. After all, all they do is harm women! Yuan Xuan was enraged! His chivalrous aura was still present, and he still resembled a fine gentleman, but Yuan Xuan could not conceal the murderous intent in his bones anymore. The men gaped with their mouths open when they heard this. Everyone was too afraid to breathe! Tian Qi came over and was prepared to execute his orders. Third Young Master, have mercy! One of the men finally returned to his senses and responded. The other two men simultaneously kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy. The youngdy was very friendly when we went to her gallery in the afternoon to buy some art. We bought numerous paintings from her because she was so beautiful. After that, we simply took the opportunity to invite her for a meal... She didnt reject us. We were tempted to go further when we noticed that we had a chance with her, but you arrived before we could even do anything. We merely touched her a few times... Have mercy on us, Third Young Master... If you beat us up again... Well beughing stocks in Luo Hai... The three men interrupted each other when they spoke. Meanwhile, the chubby man was too afraid to even step forward. He was so frightened that he wetted himself... Yan Jun stood on the sidelines and heard everything. He finally understood that it was Miss Qinger who had called his boss to save her when the men harassed her. The memory of Qinger being raped in Ennd was ingrained in Yuan Xuans mind. Yuan Xuan raced here when he heard Qingers pitiful sobs through the phone. He saw that Qingers clothes were torn while several men had their hands all over her. The familiar scene from the past was being recreated right before his eyes. Yuan Xuan felt his blood rushing straight to his head! He snatched Qinger from them and left the rest to his bodyguards. Tian Qi got rid of these scumbags in a sh before he dragged them away with the help of the other bodyguards. Yuan Xuans anger had yet to be released. He discarded the cigarette butt once he had finished smoking. The corners of his lips curled downward while the murderous look in his eyes remained unchanged. It seems like you guys like women a lot. The men had no idea what Yuan Xuan meant. Their intense fear kept them from responding. They merely trembled as though their legs had turned into mud. Yuan Xuan shot a nce at Yan Jun. He instructed coldly, This club provides a special drug. Go and tell the boss, Mr. Wu, that I brought some guests today. Get a few youngdies to apany our important guests and bring them inside for a fun night! Yan Jun said a prayer for the men after hearing this. They were not going to be beaten up any further, but their bodies would definitely be ruined by the end of the night. Yan Jun would never dare to defy Yuan Xuans orders. He looked at the men and guessed that they were probably headhunters or executives that worked in the smallerpanies in Luo Hai. They had no one to me but themselves for trying to take advantage of a member of the Yuan Family. The men sighed in relief. They assumed that they were safe. However, only fate could tell what would happen to them after they took the drugter. Tian Qi enlisted the help of others to drag these limp bodies back into the club. Meanwhile, Yan Jun went over to speak to Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu clearly recognized these men as his frequent customers. Unfortunately, he knew that they were in deep trouble today. It was bad enough to offend a member of the Yuan Family, but nothing was worse than angering Yuan Xuan. Mr. Wu said a silent prayer for them as well. Mr. Wu was not a model citizen in any way. However, he had always gotten his priorities straight. It was pointless for him to offend Yuan Xuan for the sake of a few frequent customers. He told his staff to feed these weaklings some powerful aphrodisiacs. After that, he sent several prostitutes over to their rooms. This experience was usually a pleasant one, but it was terribly painful now. The effects of these aphrodisiacs wouldst the entire night until the next morning. Their members would certainly have trouble waking up again in the future... Yuan Xuan smoked another cigarette outside his car. He had broken his vow to quit smoking tonight. The smell of smoke now lingered all over his body. He thought of the woman at home and wondered what was bothering her. Yuan Xuan looked at his watch and noticed that it was almost eight oclock. He called home. Has the Mistress returned? Not yet! Ah Fu replied cautiously. She had assumed that the Young Master had taken his wife out since both of them had yet to return tonight. Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows and hung up. He called Mu Chenyans cell phone number. He heard the familiar and unchanging message that went, Sorry, the number youve dialed is currently unavable... Chapter 318 - A Picky Rabbit

Chapter 318: A Picky Rabbit

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan was stunned. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed while the gloomy expression on his face grew more intense. It felt as though a heavy rock had crushed his heart. He dialed Wu Huais number. The other line was filled with noisy conversations. Wu Huai sounded slightly confused and tipsy. Is that Third Young Master Yuan? Your wife? She just walked out the back door of the Golden Age Club... Crap! Yuan Xuan raised his head and noticed the dazzling neon lights that spelled the words Golden Age above him. A series of doubts drifted through his mind... He was unaware that Wu Huai had invited his guests to Golden Age tonight. He would definitely have taken Little Chenyan home if he had known about this. Who did she leave with? Yuan Xuan asked calmly. I think she left with Su Qingcheng. You could call Little Su and ask her if you want... Yuan Xuan was faintly reassured when he heard that she was with Su Qingcheng. He called Shao Yibai first and exined the situation to him. After that, he asked for Su Qingchengs address. His wife had turned off her phone despite leaving with someone else in the middle of the night. Was she nning to stay out all night? * Mu Chenyan tossed and turned in bed. She felt as though she was being tortured to death by the alcohol in her stomach. She wondered why she had drunk so much on impulse. She felt worse now than the previous time when she ate the spicy m cuisine in C City. Her stomach churned while her head throbbed as though her skull was about to crack. Her mind was filled with the sound of her own pitiful wails... Su Qingcheng brought Mu Chenyan some hot water to clean her face and poured some water for Mu Chenyan to drink. This woman was at a loss of what to do because she had never taken care of a drunk person before. She would never have brought Yuan Xuans wife back to her own home if Mu Chenyan had not cried and kicked up a huge fuss earlier. Mu Chenyan firmly refused to return to the Yuan household. Su Qingcheng rented a ce in one of the densely-packed but upscale apartmentplexes on Han City Road. It contained two halls and two bedrooms. The apartment was furnished with expensive furniture and kitchen and bathroom tools. The apartment was clean and tidy. The number of rooms suited her fine because she did not usually get visitors. However, the presence of an additional person stressed Su Qingcheng out. She had to sleep in the living room because there were no extra beds for her to use. Miss Su, is your friend drunk? Aunty Zhang, the nanny, asked quietly from the other bedroom. Su Qingcheng nodded and nced toward the bedroom behind Aunty Zhang. She lowered her voice and asked, Is An An asleep? He fell asleep a long time ago, but he was asking to see his mother before he finally dozed off! An An can sleep at my ce since your friend is here tonight. Thatll make it easier for you to take care of your friend! Aunty Zhang was nearly fifty years old. She had worked as a live-in nanny for numerous households. She was the first nanny that Su Qingcheng found when she brought her four-year-old son to Luo Hai. They were now as close as rtives after all that time they had spent together. Su Qingcheng was extremely grateful. Thank you! Aunty Zhang, is there any way to make her feel better? Su Qingcheng guessed that Mu Chenyan was suffering when she saw her tossing about and ripping at her clothes. She had no idea why Mu Chenyan suddenly looked so upset when she returned from her walk. She finished half a bottle of red wine before she gulping down two bottles of beer. Aunty Zhang pondered and said, Get her to throw up first. Next, give her some water mixed with honey and see if it works! Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan to stand up and helped her get to the bathroom. Aunty Zhang assisted her as she tried to make Mu Chenyan vomit. When Mu Chenyan recalled this incident in the future, she felt as though Su Qingcheng had saved her life again... Mu Chenyans stomach felt slightly better once she had thrown up. Her head was still throbbing and her heart seemed to be thumping wilder and wilder. Mu Chenyan clearly had a low tolerance for alcohol. She was also terribly annoying when she was drunk. Brother Xuan, feed me! I want Brother Xuan to feed me... Aunty Zhang mixed some honey with water and passed it to Su Qingcheng. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan panicked when she saw the liquid in the cup. She wanted Brother Xuan to feed her so that they could take turns drinking mouthfuls of it. That would allow her to drink less of the concoction as well. She had mistaken the honey and water for medicine! Your Brother Xuan isnt here. Do you want me to send you back to Hibiscus Garden? Su Qingcheng never thought that Mu Chenyan would behave in such a childlike manner when she was drunk. She was usually cold and indifferent. Mu Chenyan hid under the nket. She looked at Su Qingcheng with her big bright eyes before she burst outughing. Dont lie to me. Yuan Xuan doesnt want me anymore so he chased me out. Why would he let you send me back to that zoo? Ill be eaten by the tigers in the zoo! After all, Im such a cute little white rabbit! Mu Chenyan nodded enthusiastically. Fear seeped through her gaze. This little rabbit was truly afraid when she thought of the tigers! Huh... What did she mean by the zoo? I wont send you to the zoo, but you have to be a good girl and drink this honey drink. Ill let you eat the freshest green grass! Su Qingcheng was forced to coax her. After all, it was impossible to speak logically to a drunk person. I want carrots. I dont eat grass! Mu Chenyan was behaving like a spoiled child. This rabbit has never liked eating grass. I only like carrots... Damn! She was a picky rabbit... Yes, carrots. Lots of them! Su Qingcheng forced Mu Chenyan to take a few sips of the beverage. Shao Yibai had taken care of her when she had previously gotten drunk. She wondered if she had also acted like an adorable fool. However, Shao Yibai had also taken advantage of her during those moments besides simply taking care of her. When Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyans drunken behavior, she swore to herself that she would never get intoxicated ever again! Mu Chenyan finally dozed off after tossing about for half an hour. Su Qingcheng sighed in relief. She looked at her watch and realized that it was already past nine oclock. She had informed Wu Huai about this when she arrived home, but she forgot to inform the Yuan Family because she was too busy. They were unaware that she had kidnapped the Third Young Mistress. Su Qingcheng decided to call Yuan Xuan when she returned to her senses. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. Aunty Zhang threw on more clothes before she opened the door and went outside. Her voice echoed through the doorway. Sir, its sote. Why are you here again? Miss Su said that she doesnt want to see you... Su Qingcheng immediately realized that it was Shao Yibai from Aunty Zhangs tone! When he came around previously, Su Qingcheng told Aunty Zhang that she could never let him in. This man was an uninvited guest. In the beginning, Aunty Zhang did not want to treat him rudely. Although he was terribly stubborn, he was also a humble and polite gentleman. He never caused a ruckus when whenever he came over but merely stood at the doorway and waited. He would neither leave nor force his way inside. Fortunately, he only came over when An An was away at preschool. Otherwise, this child would definitely be frightened if he saw him. Aunty Zhang, Im here to take my friends wife home! Shao Yibai thought that Su Qingcheng was a brave woman because she brought Third Young Master Yuans wife home with her without even informing him. He was not surprised that Yuan Xuan sent him upstairs to get his wife while he waited downstairs with a dark expression. Su Qingcheng let her guard down when she heard that he was here for Mu Chenyan. She turned to Aunty Zhang and said, Let him in! Shao Yibai was secretly pleased. He had visited this apartment numerous times but this was the first time Su Qingcheng allowed him toe inside. However, he never aggravated her. He merely waited outside at the entrance when she refused to let him in. Frankly, he only wanted to catch a glimpse of her. Even if he was denied entry, his heart would be consoled as long as he got to see her. How did the ace of the special forces be such a pathetic man? He had no idea! The interior was decorated cozily. Shao Yibai had previously sent someone to investigate this expensive apartment. He discovered that it was owned by Li Ji, the son of Bureau Chief Li from the publicity bureau. Chapter 319 - Mom, What Are You All Doing?

Chapter 319: Mom, What Are You All Doing?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai had never asked what the rtionship between Su Qingcheng and Li Ji was. To be exact, he made nothing of him. He watched Su Qingcheng came out of the bedroom in pink homewear. Her cheeks were ruddy in color, and those plump, red lips of hers were dazzling and alluring. Shao Yibais Adams apple bobbed a little. He had not kissed her lips for a long time. In fact, that taste was not something he could abstain from. Mu Chenyan drank too much and is now asleep. Su Qingchengs said inly and looked away, not wanting to meet his gaze. How about you ask Yuan Xuan to let her sleepover tonight. Tomorrow Ill bring her back! Shao Yibai thought about it for a moment. Without a wife by his side for one night, it should not be unbearable to the point of death for Yuan Xuan, would it? After all, he had never... Its rather cozy here. Looking around, Shao Yibai struck up a conversation. This was the first time he coulde inside, so he was piqued. Su Qingcheng knew that although Shao Yibai usually looked unruly and unrestrained, he was extremely well-mannered. Every time he dropped by, even though Aunty Zhang treated him coldly, he would still respond politely and had never once barged inside. This is my friends ce. When I earn enough, Ill get a small apartment... Li Jis? It suddenly urred to Shao Yibai that Su Qingcheng might have received much help from Li Ji upon her arrival at Luo Hai. After all, he had not only provided her with lodging but also a nanny. Why did it look like he was keeping a mistress in a golden house 1? If that was the case, then this golden house was somewhat shabby-looking. Shao Yibai felt a tinge of jealousy. That Li Ji seemed like a gentleman. He was rather handsome, young and talented. Su Qingcheng could not be falling for this kind of man, could she? Hearing Shao Yibai mentioning Li Ji and upon noticing his questioning gaze, she felt a little ufortable. Since thest time they had a substantive rtionship at the Spring Hotel, she had told him that she did not want to be associated with him and wanted to cut ties with him. She had been evading him, so this was one of the few long talks they were having. Li Jis a friend of mine. What kind of friend? Shao Yibai blurted out but instantly felt ridiculous of himself. Why should he even consider that Li Ji? Would he, Shao Yibai, be jealous of that kind of person? What a joke! Ordinary friends! Su Qingcheng was getting impatient. She looked at her watch. It was already 10 oclock. If this man would not leave, she could not go to bed. Her gaze fell on the door, and Su Qingcheng gave the order for him to leave. If theres nothing else, Id like to rest now. Kiss me! Shao Yibai put up a brazen manner, his eyes swirling with emotions. I wont leave until youve kissed me! You... Su Qingcheng bit her lips. How shameless you are! And uncouth too! Shao Yibais tone was full of ridicule, and his tall and strong body pressed over. Su Qingcheng retreated in fear. Mu Chenyan was sleeping in the bedroom behind her. In the other bedroom, Aunty Zhang and An An were also sleeping soundly. There was no way she could fight him. Seeing Shao Yibais unrelenting gaze, Su Qingcheng surrendered. Just a brief one! Alright! Standing on tiptoes, Su Qingcheng lightly pecked his lips. Although it was only for a short moment, she could already feel them burning. Miss Su calls this a kiss? Shao Yibai was somewhat irritated. What do you want then? Su Qingcheng pushed him away to make him leave. No way. That can only count as the dessert before dinner! Shao Yibai spoke and ced his arm around Su Qingchengs waist. Let me teach you! Mhmm... Before Su Qingcheng could refuse, her lips were firmly shackled by him, and the tip of his tongue barged in without any warning. Her little hands clutched the fabric at his waist tightly, and her whole body shuddered non-stop. She bore his unreasonable encroachment, feeling his warmth and that domineering aura... The moment she felt the changes in his body, Su Qingcheng was frightened and hurriedly pushed him away. Shao Yibai grabbed her trembling little hands. He ced them on it and whispered into her ears, It wants you!! Shao Yibai! Su Qingcheng called out harshly with a plea. You cant do this... Shao Yibai was already aroused, but he was trying hard to control himself. Even though he had been mingling in the social circle for two years, there was never once a woman who could cause him to be this impulsive nor interest him. However, in front of Su Qingcheng, he would always lose control! Perhaps, she was his cmity! Mom? What are you all doing? A childs voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two people. Shao Yibai turned around in shock. His gaze fell on the little kid by the bedroom door. Shao Yibai looked incredulously at his white and tender face and asked coldly, Who are you? What did you just call her? Who are you? Why are you in my house? An An rubbed his eyes that were not fully opened yet and asked with his childlike voice, Mom, is he a bad person? Su Qingcheng was stunned and stood rooted on the spot. She hastily pushed against Shao Yibais chest and walked over to hug An An, gently whispering to him, This uncle is a friend of mine. Why are you up? Do you want to go pee? An An nodded. His shiny ck eyes were exceptionally beautiful. In actual fact, he was thinking about his mother in his heart, so he could not sleep soundly. When he got up in the middle of the night and heard some movements on the outside, he came out to check it out. Shao Yibai watched Su Qingcheng bring the little kid to the bathroom. He was still bothered by the issue. Whos this kid? When did Su Jiangcheng be a mother? FML. Does she have another man? This kid seemed to be three or four years old. At that time, Su Qingcheng had not left him. Could this man be the reason she left without saying goodbye back then? Shao Yibai scrambled his hair and was like a lion that was about to go into a rage. His bloodthirsty and vicious eyes filled with traces of sorrow. He watched as Su Qingcheng came out of the bathroom carrying the child in her arms. Her maternal tenderness could not be concealed at all. Darling, sleep with Grandma Zhang tonight. Ill sleep with you tomorrow, okay? Su Qingcheng rubbed An Ans head. The little kid was very sensible. He nodded and shifted his eyes to the trapped beast under the orange light in the living room. He whispered to Su Qingcheng, Mom, be careful of bad guys! If you find yourself in danger, just shout loudly. Grandmother and I wille out to help you! When Shao Yibai heard that, he did not know whether tough or cry. This kid really took him as a bad person. Dont worry, this uncles not a bad guy. Hell leave in a minute. Go to bed. You still have to go to kindergarten early tomorrow morning. Teacher Liu said that youll be the ceremonial guard! Yea, its because Im the most handsome! An An said with all seriousness. Su Qingcheng could not help butugh. Shao Yibai listened at the side. F*ck. This kids as narcissistic as I was when I was a child! The moment this thought surfaced, another thought suddenly came crashing into his mind, and he trembled in excitement! Could this kid be his child? Su Qingcheng sent An An into the bedroom and turned around to see an excited Shao Yibai. She said inly, Dont overthink. An An has nothing to do with you. You better leave now! Footnotes:

Chapter 320: A Pair of Troubled Friends

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan patiently waited downstairs for almost an hour before he saw Shao Yibai walking out of the corridor in low spirits. Where is she? Shao Yibai usually had amanding presence. Yuan Xuan could not fathom why he resembled a deted ball now. He gave Shao Yibai a cigarette, then both of them leaned against his car and smoked It was past 10 oclock now. A young person jogged past and saw the two highly attractive men smoking as they stood in front of Yuan Xuans shy Koenigsegg sports car. They nearly blinded him with their striking looks. Shes asleep! Su Qingcheng said that she could stay over tonight. Shell send her home tomorrow. Dont worry! Shao Yibais voice was hoarse. He was so dejected that he started coughing after taking just a few puffs of his cigarette. He had no idea when the woman he loved had gotten pregnant and had a baby already. Worse still, she said that the child had nothing to do with him. Who was that childs father? Shao Yibai desperately wanted to rush over and get rid of that man! How dare he vied for his woman? Shao Yibai would not tolerate this! Whats wrong? Yuan Xuan knew that Shao Yibai was hiding something from him. Judging from Shao Yibais solemn expression, Yuan Xuan was certain that this involved Su Qingcheng. However, this was not the first time he had experienced something like this. In fact, Shao Yibai was a veteran in this field. He should have gotten used to it much earlier. Su Qingcheng has a son! Shao Yibais heart was filled with indescribable pain when he said this. He flung the cigarette butt away and sat in Yuan Xuans sports car. Hemented, She said that he isnt my son! Damn, he was cuckolded! No one would willingly ept this, much less Shao Yibai. Yuan Xuan was unable to think of a way to console his friend at the moment. Lets go. Cheer up, Ill have a drink with you since my wife is not with me tonight too! Shao Yibai nced at Yuan Xuan. This jerk was usually fond of putting him down, but he was rather kind now. The car doors resembled beautiful arcs when the two men opened them. Dust trailed behind the car as it sped off into the horizon. * Blue Sea and Sky Clubhouse... The pair of troubled friends sang together and drank heavily. Shao Yibai usually had a high tolerance for alcohol, but he had a bit of a shock today. He already saw three heads on Yuan Xuans body after gulping down just a few sses of red wine... Who do you think is the father of that little brat? Shao Yibai stretched his long legs out on the sofa and still managed to look attractive in this slouching position. Su Qingcheng is an enigma. Shed never tell the truth even after threatening her with death! I... Damn, I really want to... Oh well. Whatever, I know that Im a f*cking cuckold but I refuse to give up! Shao Yibais deep voice choked up when he said this. He narrowed his beautiful eyes, and his long eyshes glimmered for a second there. It seemed like there were tears in his eyes. Yuan Xuan patted his shoulder. Shao Yibai had only been the one to make people cry all his life. It was obvious how much pain his heart was experiencing just by seeing how dejected he was right now. If that child was my son... Id rush back to Capital City and make preparations for my wedding. Id fight anybody who tried to stop me... Id make a cage and lock that woman up inside if she ever tried to run away again... Frankly, it doesnt matter whether that child is mine or not... As long as Daisy agreed... Id marry her... Id buy her a wedding dress sewn with the most beautiful jewels in the world... Wouldnt it be nice if we could take our wedding pictures in Hawaii or d? The pained expression lingered on his face as he said those words. He was almost thirty years old, but this was probably the first time Shao Yibai had suffered such a terrible blow. Momentster, tears rolled down Mr. Shaos face... Sh*t! Shao Yibai could actually cry? What happened to the saying that men should not shed their tears without restraint! The next line actually went on to say that it was because he had not been hurt as much as he thought he was. Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows as he listened. He allowed his thoughts to run wild. If Little Chenyan made him into a cuckold one day, he would... No, no, no, that thought was too terrifying! Yuan Xuan hurriedly erased this frightening idea from his mind. Mu Chenyan would never do that. She belonged to him! Shao Yibai continued to drink. In just a short while, he became so drunk that hepletely lost his sense of self-awareness. Yuan Xuan had no choice but to book a room for him. He instructed two servers to watch over him. He still could not understand why Little Chenyan was avoiding him and why she would not want to go home. The depressed man nced at his phone again. His screensaver was a picture of Mu Chenyan with her palms pressed together, making a wish under a sky of fireworks... * The first ray of sunshine cascaded through the window at dawn and scattered all over the body of the woman who was sound asleep in bed. The light yellow sheets of the bed made the room made the room felt warmer than it was. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan was woken up by a cool little hand tapping her twice. Her eyes jolted open and met a pair of pitch-ck pupils staring down at her from above. The little boy with sparkling eyes and long eyshes was incredibly adorable. Beautiful big sister, are you awake? You stole mommy away from mest night. She didnt even get to put me to sleep. said An An with a smile on his face. But youre so pretty, so I still like you staying at my house. Mu Chenyan mbered up from the bed. She rubbed her temples while her head continued to ache. Who was this little rascal? Who was his mother? Mu Chenyan scanned her surroundings and realized that they werepletely foreign to her. How did she arrive here? Mommy, the beautiful big sister is awake! There were tiger heads on An Ans fluffy slippers. They pped noisily against the floor as he ran outside and yelled. Iming. Iming! Mu Chenyan widened her eyes. She looked on in disbelief as Su Qingcheng ran out of the kitchen in an apron. She kissed An Ans cheek tenderly and murmured, Mommy made you breakfast. Granny Zhang will take you to school once youve eaten. An An nodded. His cute little face was tinted with red. When he turned around to look at Mu Chenyan, he looked slightly reluctant to leave. Is beautiful big sister going to be here tonight? Su Qingcheng burst outughing. Her son was perfect, but he had a weakness for women. Yes, mommy will invite her over to y since you like her so much. Also, you should call her aunty and not big sister! Su Qingcheng was troubled by her sons cheekiness. He referred to beautiful women as his big sisters because he wanted to decrease the age gap between them and himself. Meanwhile, he would only address the ugly ones as aunties! Once, An An was ying downstairs when he saw an overweight woman in her thirties walking arge dog. An An ran over and called her an olddy when she allowed the big dog to poop wherever it liked... An An nodded. I know that I should call her aunty, but shes prettier than most of the big sisters I know. Thats why... Thats why you should hurry up and finish your food before you go to school! Granny Zhang will take you to school first. Mommy will attend your parent-teacher conferenceter today once Ive requested for leave. An An cowered in terror when Su Qingcheng stered a stern look on her face. He tucked his tail between his legs and slipped away to the dining room to look for Aunty Zhang. Su Qingcheng saw the dazed look on Mu Chenyans face as she sat on the bed. She realized that she could not hide this from her any longer. She straightened her apron and sighed. Im sorry, Chenyan. Thats my son, An An. Hes a naughty boy... Does Shao Yibai know? Mu Chenyans initial response was to ask about Shao Yibai. This child... Hes not Shao Yibais son! Su Qingcheng had anticipated Mu Chenyans question. She avoided her gaze and replied queitly. Chapter 321 - Why Would a Brother Kidnap His Little Sister?

Chapter 321: Why Would a Brother Kidnap His Little Sister?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Perhaps everyone had a part of their past that they were unwilling to mention. Good friends who understood this would learn to give others some personal space. Mu Chenyan murmured, Hes really adorable and intelligent! Su Qingcheng turned to look at An An. The little boy sat at the dining table and ate properly. A knowing smile appeared on her face. Chenyan, will you tell me what happened? Su Qingcheng saw that Mu Chenyan had finished washing up, so she poured her a ss of milk. The feast that wasid out on the breakfast table could not stimuate Mu Chenyans appetite. Her stomach was rejecting the sight of food strongly after her drunken stupor. She could not eat anything now. Nothing happened. I acted impulsively! Ill never get drunk again... Mu Chenyan became slightly afraid when she thought of drinking. This fear reminded her of her aversion to chilies. After all, she had tremendously suffered after consuming these two things. She merely touched on the matter lightly. It seemed like she did not want to say much about it. Su Qingcheng decided not to pursue the matter. The two women ate a little bit of the food together. Su Qingcheng cleared the tes and cutlery and got ready to attend An Ans parent-teacher conference. Im sorry, Chenyan. Youll have to take a cab to the office. Su Qingcheng took her bag and entered the elevator with Mu Chenyan. She apologized as they left. Go ahead and tend to your matters! Ill be fine. When she left the neighborhood, Mu Chenyan realized that she had been too optimistic about the whole situation. It was difficult to hail a cab so early in the morning. Worse still, this was also a restricted street. She walked for some time and then decided to go to the end of another street to hail a cab there instead. Just as Mu Chenyan was about to reach her arm out to stop a cab, someone grabbed her waist from behind and covered her mouth with a cloth... * Yuan Xuan initially assumed that Mu Chenyan would be fine with Su Qingcheng. That was why he did not send anyone to follow her. He sent a text message to Su Qingcheng to ask her about his wife. He had to go through her because Mu Chenyans phone was switched off this whole time. Su Qingcheng said that Mu Chenyan was not with her. A bad feeling rose in Yuan Xuans heart... He rushed out of the Blue Sea and Sky Clubhouse and went to the police department immediately. Third Young Master Yuan? Why are you here so early? Can we help you? Wu Huai thought that Yuan Xuan was here because of Yuan Zhes case. He assumed that the Yuan Family was going to cause them more trouble by asking them to speed up the trial. Wu Huai could not help but mock him for rushing over when the case was already solved. He never expected that Yuan Xuan would merely ignore him. Yuan Xuan asked in an icy tone, Captain Wu, where is Mu Chenyan? Wu Huai was shocked. Mu Chenyan had been with Su Qingcheng ever since she left the rest of the groupst night. Neither of them came to the office today. Su Qingcheng had requested for leave this morning while Mu Chenyan never came at all. I havent seen your wife since she left usst night! Yuan Xuans cold eyes darkened when he heard this. He took a deep breath and began pacing up and down Wu Huais office. The elegant but arrogant man was usually extremely calm when he was faced with encountered problems. He had never lost control of himself in front of others. However, his heart would be ridden with anxiety whenever Mu Chenyan was in trouble. It was currently impossible for him to deny this. Captain Wu, I need your help. Get someone to send me the surveince tapes of the areas near Han City Road. Ill take some of the people here with me to search for Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuans eyebrows were knitted so closely together that they could not be straightened. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and gave it to Wu Huai. He lit one up for himself too. Are you saying that Mu Chenyan may have been kidnapped? Wu Huai noticed the solemn expression on Yuan Xuans face and realized the severity of the situation. Yuan Xuan exhaled ring after ring of smoke. His voice was hoarse when he said, It may have happened! Who would do that? Wu Huai surmised that the Yuan Family had numerous enemies. If this was really a kidnapping case, the situation would be ratherplicated. Im not sure. Captain Wu, we have to work together! Yuan Xuan rose and left when he said that. He suspected that Mu Chenwu was behind this, but he did not tell Wu Huai that. After all, outsiders would assume that Mu Chenwu was Mu Chenyans loving older brother. Why would a brother kidnap his little sister? That waspletely unreasonable. He did not want to waste everyones time by exining it. ... Wu Huai mobilized the other branches and had the surveince records from the departments that monitored the neighborhood examined. Apparently, two people had snatched Mu Chenyan and drove off in a silver-colored van at the end of a street near Han City Road. This van had circled the neighborhood several times, seemingly not in a hurry to leave the city, before finally stopping near Sheng Yu Hospital. This did not fit the routine of a kidnapping case! The kidnappers did not contact anyone for ransom once they had secured their hostage. They even circled the neighborhood with their victim in tow and ended up at the hospital in the end? What the hell were they doing? Wu Huai hastily contacted Yuan Xuan when he noticed these things. On the other side, Yuan Xuan and the others rushed to Sheng Yu Hospital. Mu Chenyan was actually inside Yan Meis ward. Her little face was pale as she held her mothers hand tightly. Yuan Xuan was faintly consoled. Aside from the sickly look on her face, she waspletely unharmed. However, an hour had passed since her kidnapping. Who had this woman met inside the van? An hour was enough time for someone to drive a wedge between them! Yuan Xuan suppressed his anger. He made an effort in restraining himself from ripping Mu Chenwu to shreds! Little Chenyan! Yuan Xuan pushed open the door and ran inside. You stayed out all night and refused to answer my calls. Do you know how much Im worried about you? Yuan Xuans tone was not usatory at all. He rushed over and tightly embraced Mu Chenyan. He murmured, I was so worried... He was beingpletely honest! Even if Wu Huai did not contact him, it was still highly unlikely that Mu Chenwu could travel a great distance from Luo Hai within an hour. He had already nned to take his men and conduct a thorough search of Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan seemed unfazed. She merely nced at Yuan Xuan indifferently before a hint of uncertainty shed in her eyes. Im fine! Mu Chenyans voice trembled. I just met an old friend. Yuan Xuan sensed that this woman was defying him. He was certain that the person whom she met was more than just an old friend. The mans gaze turned sterner. He lowered his voice and asked, What kind of friend would kidnap you? Am I obligated to tell you everything? Traces of resentment lingered in Mu Chenyans tone. She shoved Yuan Xuan away and took a few steps back as if they did not know each other at all. A defensive look filled her eyes as she distanced herself from him. History was repeating itself! This had previously happened after she met up with Mu Chenwu. She was drawing a clear line between Yuan Xuan and herself again! Idiot! Yuan Xuan was annoyed. He took several long strides forward and grabbed her roughly by the waist. Was it Mu Chenwu? Mu Chenyan stopped beating around the bush when Yuan Xuanid everything out in the open. She struggled against him. Yes! What are you going to do about it? Are you going to capture my brother and kill him before you finally murder me as well? Yuan Xuan had no clue what nonsense the woman was spouting. He merely felt that she was being unreasonably upset now because someone else had deluded her. You idiot! When are you going to put your brain to good use? Yuan Xuan scolded her. He carried her on his shoulder and ignored her objections. Youre so silly. How could I kill you? Yuan Xuan carried her into the elevator while everyone else looked on in shock. Mu Chenyans stomach began to hurt when it was pressed against Yuan Xuans shoulders. That and yesterdays hangover had used up all her remaining strength rather quickly. She sobbed and gave up on struggling. However, her heart was still filled with hatred for Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenwus words still echoed beside her ears. You assumed that I was the one who brought Shu Qinger back. Have you ever thought that it might be Yuan Xuan? You thought that it was just a coincidence that Shu Qinger started living with the Yuan Family. But how could she settle down in Luo Hai gradually if Yuan Xuan had never agreed to it? Chapter 322 - Her Love for Him Was Immeasurably Deep

Chapter 322: Her Love for Him Was Immeasurably Deep

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The woman was tossed into the car. Her emotions crashed like turbulent waves. Violent rage caused her body to tremble uncontrobly. Yuan Xuan could feel the resentment in Mu Chenyans bloodshot eyes. He knew that her current condition was caused by her drunken stuporst night and the stressful event that she had just experienced. He reminded himself to be the bigger person. He decided to pamper her! Yuan Xuan suppressed the anger in his heart. Throughout their journey, he noticed that Mu Chenyan was ring at him indignantly. His chest was brimming with fury when they reached Hibiscus Garden. He dragged her into the bedroom despite her protests. Yuan Xuan pushed her onto the bed and covered her with a nket. What are you doing? Mu Chenyan was vexed! She struggled for awhile before realizing that it was futile. She could not even move her arms because Yuan Xuan was pressing the edges of the sheets down. Her fluffy head was exposed, and everything below her neck was hidden under the sheets. Nothing! Go to sleep! Yuan Xuan said as he tucked her in. Sleep? How could he expect her to sleep when it was still bright outside? Are you crazy? Mu Chenyan cursed angrily. You need to sleep because your mind is still foggy! Ill talk to you when youre awake. It seemed as though Yuan Xuan had seen through Mu Chenyan. He countered her immediately. Mu Chenyan did not know what to say at the moment. She finally stopped thrashing about and merely red at Yuan Xuan angrily. The man rose and walked to the balcony. He was about to light his cigarette when he noticed that Mu Chenyan was mbering to sit up. Annoyed, Yuan Xuan charged over and pressed her down again. Im not going to sleep! Ive sobered up... Mu Chenyan objected while panting with rage. I told you to sleep! This man had never been so rude and unreasonable. He appeared fiercer now than he did in the past! Mu Chenyan turned away. She did not want to meet his calm gaze that concealed nothing but false pretences. Little Chenyan, listen to me. Go to sleep and forget the things that are making you unhappy. Yuan Xuan realized that he had frightened her when she stopped opposing him. He lowered his voice and spoke slowly instead. Everything will be over soon. Will you be a good girl? Mu Chenyan heard the miserable tone in Yuan Xuans voice and forced herself to calm down. Mu Chenwus statements were illogical. Even if Yuan Xuan had feelings for Qinger, he would not have instructed her to harm Ye Kun. Mu Chenyan had seen through the ws in this argument already. That was why she doubted the things that Mu Chenwu said as well. However, her heart felt stifled when she recalled how Yuan Xuan had left with Qingerst night. She still wanted to kick up a fuss... Yuan Xuan spared no effort to hide the resentment between the Yuan Family and Mu Family. Nheless, he still treated her like she was one of his personal possessions. Mu Chenyan could not stand this! Mu Chenyan was forced to rely on her own assumptions because her brother did not give her a full ount of everything. Mu Chenwu only sent her to the hospital because her mind was overwhelmed with doubts. She could not trust anyone besides her mother now! Sadly, Yan Mei could not tell her anything... Everything was tormenting her. She truly hoped that it was all a dream. Mu Chenyan quickly exhausted herself by letting her imagination run wild. She had not slept properlyst night either, so very soon her eyelids was beginning to feel heavy ... Yuan Xuan sighed in relief when Mu Chenyan fell asleep. He was still smoking on the balcony when he received a call from Yan Jun. Young Master, that b*stard Mu Chenwu is extremely cunning. There were three identical silver-colored vans and two of them had fake number tes. Our men lost sight of him after a short while. He managed to escape! Yan Jun had never met someone like Mu Chenwu. He was unbelievably skilled at diverting them when they pursued him. He had slipped away from their grasp again and again as if he was a mudfish. Yuan Xuan smoked on the balcony for a little while. He looked at the grassy hills in the distance. It was chilly now that autumn was here. Yuan Xuan knitted his eyebrows together. He lowered his voice and said, Theres no need to rush! Hell be at deaths door soon enough. Mu Chenwu had really learned his strategies from Mu Feng. Yuan Xuan med himself for underestimating him earlier. Mu Chenwu lost his right-hand man when Yuan Zhe died. This prompted him to seek Mu Chenyan now. He would be more and more reckless if he was not caught. * The underground section below a construction site near Green Smoke Mountain was one of Mu Chenwus hiding ces. He nned his battle strategies here. This ce was extremely sturdy because it was built to withstand the worst fights. Previously, he had managed to keep thisrge-scale project hidden with Yuan Zhes help. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhe had met with an ident. Mu Chenwu knew that this ce would be exposed sooner orter. He did not want his efforts to fail at the eleventh hour. The Mu Family had prospered in Luo Hai for several decades. Failure was simply not an option. Chenwu, where were you today? The hoarse voice came from an old man wearing a gauze mask. He looked rather sinister. Mu Feng faked his own death four years ago by killing a man who was simr in age, physique, and appearance to him. He got to spend the next few years living a meaningless life as a reward. Ironically, God seemed to have another n to make him leave this world. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. His days were numbered as he had already started coughing up blood. Father, I went to see Mu Chenyan! Mu Chenwu walked over and supported Mu Fengs extremely frail body. Yuan Xuan was hot on their heels. They were too afraid to visit the hospital for chemotherapy. They could only hide here and rely on traditional Chinese medicine for now. Mu Fengs health was deteriorating. His breathing had be uneven these few days. The site that they used to n their battle tactics was surrounded by hills. It was hard to get here since it was extremely remote. Mu Feng scanned his surroundings and sneered coldly. Do you think Mu Chenyan will help us? It doesnt matter whether she helps us or not. I just want to give Yuan Xuan hell! A sinister smile appeared on Mu Chenwus face as he spoke. At least hes underestimating me now! Are you sure that you havent made any risky moves? Mu Feng did not haveplete faith in his son. Frankly, some things will definitely change as weve lost Yuan Zhes help this time, but Im too busy to handle so many matters at once. Yuan Xuan has already transferred his foreign forces back here. Nheless, he wont have enough time to manage everything due to the tremendous changes that are happening to the Yuan Family! Mu Chenwu nced at his father as he spoke. Yuan Xuans next target is definitely Yuan Tangzhong. Im going to use this opportunity to ambush him! Mu Feng began to cough violently when he heard this. He panted heavily before breaking out into a smirk. He then eximed, Perhaps Im being punished! Id be rather upset if I die in a ce like this... Dont worry, father. I wont let you die this way. Ill take you to the hospital once weve gotten rid of the Mu Family... Itll be toote! Mu Feng leaned weakly against the chair. His eyes were half closed, and his lips trembled. Suddenly, he cried, Now I felt sorry for your mother! If she hadnt insisted on leaving me for Ye Kun, I wouldnt have drugged her and instructed my body double to drive off with her in a speeding car. Mu Chenwu lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He knew of this matter all too well. That car had been modified. It had went out of control instantly when it went for a high-speed sharp turn. The scapegoat had no idea that his appearance had been altered surgically. All he was instructed to do was to bring back an unconsciousdy and a box of cash. Then, he had driven the car on the highway and met his death. He actually thought that he had hit the jackpot with this one... I despised her! But I also loved her... Mu Fengs lips quivered before heughed sadistically. Unfortunately, she only had eyes for Ye Kun! The previous matters would never have been exposed if she hadnt secretly released Ye Kun in Xi Fan... Father, stop bringing this up! Mu Chenwu held a grudge against his father for his decision. However, Yan Meis involvement in the situation was vital at that time. If Yan Mei was not there, Yuan Xuan would probably have trouble believing that the man who died in the car crash was Mu Feng. Divine retribution! Mu Feng continued, smiling. Im afraid that Ill be leaving before her. If your mother ever wakes up, I... I hope that she doesnt end up with Ye Kun... Dont worry! Mu Chenwus carefree tone wasced with a murderous aura. Ye Kun got lucky thest time! We must kill him because he knows too much already. Otherwise, itll be difficult for us to establish ourselves in Luo Hai even if we cause Yuan Xuan to stumble. Mu Feng nodded and coughed. Youll be the only one left in the Mu Family in the future. At the end of the day, Mu Chenyan... Mu Fengs breathing was thrown off when he mentioned Mu Chenyan. He coughed violently for some time before calming down with much difficulty. He still resented her. He nced at his son. If I didnt know that your mum couldnt handle it, I wouldve killed her right when she was born. Father! Mu Chenwu stood up and paced up and down the room. Mother isnt the only one to be med for this! You must remember that it wasnt a one-sided wish when she got pregnant with Mu Chenyan! Yan Mei always remarked that she could see traces of Mu Feng in Mu Chenwu. She was not particrly fond of her son because of that. Their rtionship was also strained for a period of time. In spite of that, Mu Chenwu would not allow Mu Feng to put all the me on Yan Mei. Alright, I wont say that anymore. Take care of yourself and remember that shes not a member of the Yuan Family anymore... She still promised to help me get the serial numbers of Yuan Xuans ships and the schedule that lists the times when they leave the port to go to his oilfield at sea. I wont have any problems destroying Yuan Xuan once Ive obtained those things! * Hibiscus Garden... The sky was already turning dark when Mu Chenyan awakened. She had slept soundly throughout the entire day and missed lunch. She only realized how hungry she was when she woke up. Ah Fu peeked inside from the corridor. She asked cautiously when she saw that Mu Chenyan is awake, Mistress, are you hungry? Mu Chenyan nodded gently. Where is the Young Master? He just went out. He told me to cook some herbal porridge for you before he left! Would you like to have some now? Mu Chenyan nced at the balcony. The ashtray on the windowsill was filled with cigarette butts. She guessed that her husband had stood there and smoked for a long time while she was asleep. The Mid-Autumn Festival would be here in three days. ording to established customs, the influential aristocratic families would be holding banquets around this time. The Yuan Familys banquet would certainly be less grand this year due to Yuan Zhes incident. Nheless, it would not be a terribly shabby affair since the Yuan Family was still a powerful household. Yuan Xuan would probably be upied with the preparation for the banquet for the next few days. Mu Chenyan got up and changed her clothes when she thought of that. She walked past Yuan Xuans study and saw theputer that he usually used for work. Mu Chenyan had no idea why Mu Chenwu wanted the serial numbers of the boats that Yuan Xuanspany used for oil extraction. He also wanted the records that listed when they entered and left the port. She was too afraid to make any rash decisions as she could not guess his motives. However, Mu Chenwu had promised to leave Luo Hai once he had obtained those documents. He had abandon his desire for revenge as well. At least this would allow the Mu Familys bloodline to live on... Since Yuan Xuan had already controlled Mu Chenyan and Yan Mei, Mu Chenyans greatest wish was to save Mu Chenwu. Mu Chenyan pondered for awhile. She had nned to observe the situation first and actter, but she hesitated now. She made sure that Ah Fu was still in the kitchen before pushing open the door that led to Yuan Xuans study. There were no surveince cameras inside Hibiscus Garden because Yuan Xuan prioritized his privacy. Mu Chenyan thought about how brave she was to be doing this. When she turned Yuan Xuansputer on, she noticed that it took a long time to start. She had never done anything like this before. Mu Chenyan was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. It required a password! Mu Chenyans heart thumped wildly. She felt like a secret agent. She tried her birth date. Wrong! She tried Yuan Xuans birth date instead. Wrong again! Mu Chenyans head was spinning. It was harder for her toe up with ideas now when she was so nervous. Mistress, your porridge is ready. Where are you? Ah Fus voice echoed from downstairs. Mu Chenyan startled and turned off theputer in a sh. Whats the password? thought Mu Chenyan. She waspletely clueless at the moment. She decided not to act rashly. There would be plenty of time to do this! Mu Chenyan went downstairs. Her gaze met Yuan Xuans bright eyes just as she turned the corner. The mans dazzling eyes were beaming with joy. Have you sobered up? Do you feel better after sleeping throughout the entire afternoon? Mu Chenyan could tell that he was teasing her from his tone of voice. She did not want to talk to him at all. After all, he would assume that she was just causing unnecessary trouble if she tried to confront him. Yuan Xuan took the herbal porridge from Ah Fu. He pulled Mu Chenyan over with his other hand and sat her at the dining table. Mu Chenyan watched Yuan Xuan as he gently stirred the porridge while holding the bowl. He used his lips to test its temperature and murmured, You can eat it now! Mu Chenyan turned away when Yuan Xuan scooped a spoonful of porridge for her. He wanted to feed her, but she was too embarrassed to let him do it. What do you think youre doing? Yuan Xuan took a deep breath. He put the bowl down and grasped his wifes hands instead. His smooth hands were always warm. He held her little hand in his palm and whispered, Qinger was harassed by several art buyers when she got drunkst night! Mu Chenyan shivered when she heard this. Her shocked voice was tinged with panic. Did I ask? Yuan Xuansrge hands did not flinch. He continued, I rushed to the Golden Age Club when she called me. I didnt know that you were there too when I took her away. I went there with Tian Qi, Yan Jun, and a few other people. Mistress, should I ask the witnesses toe over? Yuan Xuan spoke earnestly. His gentle, resplendent eyes melted Mu Chenyans heart. She whispered, They have to obey you because theyre your subordinates. Whats the point of getting them to testify on your behalf? Mu Chenyan guessed that he had visited Golden Age in the evening. Yuan Xuan had probably noticed her when she was standing in the corner of the corridor watching him save Shu Qinger. You have toe to me at once in the future if there are doubts in your heart. You already know that Qinger had been assaulted when she tried to saved me. I cant bear to watch someone else abuse her again! Yuan Xuans palms were too warm, and Mu Chenyans hands began to sweat. She attempted to pull away but Yuan Xuan refused to let her go. Mu Chenyan sighed internally. Affection and resentment stirred in her heart when she looked at the man before her. Her love for him was immeasurably deep. She loved all of his virtues and his ws. Yuan Xuan was besotted with her as well, but he still cherished Qinger. At the same time, Mu Chenyan hated Yuan Xuan for enduring everything in silence. Nheless, she pitied him because of his circumstances. He was surrounded by troublesome women. Qinger was a liar who took advantage of his remorseful heart. The Old Mistress was selfish and possessive, holding him hostage with the fact that theyre mother and son. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan insisted on arguing with him regarding certain matters due to the feud between their families... I know that already! Frankly, Mu Chenyan felt slightly better now. She realized that her jealous fit was actually quite ridiculous when she recalled what had happened yesterday... Yuan Xuan, do you still remember the most memorable day of your life? Mu Chenyan casually nced at him when she asked the question suddenly. She took the bowl of porridge from him, stirring it to hide her nervousness. Yes, it was the first time Iid eyes on you under the pomegranate tree in spring! Chapter 323 - He Had Taken Great Pains to Plant His Seeds

Chapter 323: He Had Taken Great Pains to nt His Seeds

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yes, it was the first time Iid eyes on you under the pomegranate tree in spring! Yuan Xuan mentioned it casually and without hesitating at all. It seemed as though that memory had been engraved in his heart for a long time. Yuan Xuan was fifteen years old at that time. He was older and more mature than Mu Chenyan, but fifteen was also the year most people had their first love as well Mu Chenyan trembled when she heard this. Her love for Yuan Xuan grew little by little until she found herself increasingly fond of the man. It was clear that she had not been infatuated with him since the beginning. She had no idea that their initial encounter left such a deep impression on him... They had met on 6th of March, the day that marked the beginning of the 3rd sr term 1. Mu Chenyans lips tugged into a small smile. You were more infatuated with me than I imagined! Mistress, did you just notice that? Yuan Xuan approached her when he said this. His warm breath tickled her ears. I would have stopped at nothing to get you, mistress! Mu Chenyan felt that her husband was embarrassing himself. In reality, she was the one who spared no effort to gain his affection. She was a real pest who had followed him for many years. What did he do then? He tried to look cool and regarded her with disinterest every time... Stop making things up! Mu Chenyan was not interested. She turned away before she lifted the bowl and ate the porridge. She had only swallowed a spoonful of porridge when she felt ufortable again. There was an indescribable twitching sensation. Her expression changed. She made a mental note to stop drinking alcohol in the future even though she did not drink a lotst night. Who would have thought that her alcohol tolerance was as low as it was? She still felt nauseated after suffering through the whole night. Whats wrong? Does it taste weird? Yuan Xuan saw the troubled look on Mu Chenyans face. He took the bowl and tasted the food. Ah Fus porridge was made with green vegetables, lean meat, and some herbal chicken soup. The vor was mild, and she was usually a big fan of this dish. What happened today? Mu Chenyan shook her head and forced herself to swallow another big spoonful of the porridge. She was seized with unbearable pain when that mouthful of food entered her stomach. She pursed her lips, shoved Yuan Xuan aside and ran to the bathroom on the first floor. She threw up uncontrobly. Mu Chenyan vomited until she had nothing left to throw up except for bile. Her body spasmed as she curled up into a ball. Snot and tears were running down her face before she finally stopped puking. Yuan Xuan was terribly worried. He held her weak body tightly and said, The alcohol must have irritated your stomach and made you sick! Mu Chenyan did not want to argue with him. She did have trouble eating and sleeping these few days, and her body temperature fluctuated. On top of everything, she went and got herself drunkst night. It was not surprising that there was something wrong with her now. It was already night time when Yuan Xuan helped Mu Chenyan settle down in the bedroom so it would be inconvenient to call the family doctor toe over at this hour. The family doctor had also been staying with the Old Mistress for a few days after the incident at the Yuan household urred. It would be better to let him rest for now. Yuan Xuan remembered that Yuan Tian had previously done a good job treating Little Ginger Fur Balls stomach problems. He went back downstairs and instructed Ah Fu, Ask the Fifth Miss toe over. Tell her that somethings wrong with the mistress stomach! Yuan Tian probably thought to herself, Damn, I cant believe that you expect me to treat your wife and cats stomach aches. Im a heart and brain surgeon for crying out loud... Ah Fu was frightened out of her wits when she saw Mu Chenyan vomit after eating the porridge that she cooked. Most of the personal servants throughout the mansions were fired after the recent poisoning incident in Peace Mansion. They had only kept the most capable ones. Ah Fu was naturally afraid to see the Mistress being unwell. Ill go right away... Ah Fu jogged there. She did not even have enough time to remove her apron. Yuan Tian was wearing a face mask at home and had no time to wash her face properly when she heard that Mu Chenyan was sick. She followed Ah Fu to Hibiscus Garden right away. Mu Chenyanid in bed sickly. She was exhausted from vomiting, and her stomach was still churning. Yuan Xuan was pacing anxiously in the room. This man would only lose hisposure when something had happened to Mu Chenyan. Chenyan, when was yourst period? Yuan Tian asked suddenly. She had finished her examination that included checking her blood pressure and using a stethoscope to listen to her heartbeat. Mu Chenyan was stunned. She lifted her head and nced at Yuan Xuans glistening gaze. He looked rather emotional. She did not know the answer to that question. You idiot, do you remember when you had yourst period? Yuan Tian became anxious when Mu Chenyan failed to answer her question. I think... It was probably more than a month ago? Mu Chenyan nced at Yuan Xuan when she replied. It seemed like she was asking for his opinion... Yuan Xuan was silent, but he could not conceal the joy on his stern face. A months time had definitely passed. Thest time he remembered it happening was when she fell into the water with Qinger. Are we expecting a new addition to the family? Yuan Xuan asked this in a roundabout manner. The contours on his enchanting face were not as noticeable anymore. His profound gaze was filled with gentleness when he looked at Mu Chenyan. He attempted to suppress his hopefulness but he was clearly feeling sentimental. Yuan Tian sighed and gave Mu Chenyan a re. She reprimanded her, Youre so stupid! Did you really forget something so simple? Mu Chenyan was shocked when Yuan Tian scolded her. Her heart was a mess right now, and all she knew was that she was afraid. She asked carefully, Am I really pregnant? Im not sure. You should go to the hospital tomorrow morning to get a blood test done! But I drank alcoholst night... Mu Chenyan could not stop thinking of that when she mentioned it. She felt extremely regretful. If she had known about this earlier, she would not have consumed alcohol even if her life depended on it. Although Su Qingcheng had helped her expel most of it from her body by making her vomit, some of the alcohol would have been absorbed anyway. When Yuan Xuan heard this, the emotional look on his face turned into an anxious one. Could anything have happened? He had taken great pains to nt his seeds! He shot a dirty look at Mu Chenyan as he spoke. Frustration filled his heart. She had taken his underage son out drinking! Worse still, this woman had suffered greatly after she drank and hardly ate anything throughout the day. Yuan Xuan nearly pped himself when he noticed her sunken eye sockets. He felt so sorry for her! Yuan Tianughed. We cant be certain for now. The hospitalsb test results are the most urate, so we should wait for that. Im just guessing. However, you dont have to worry even if shes really pregnant. Frankly, babies arent that fragile! Mu Chenyan was still very worried despite what Yuan Tian had said. She had previously used the Marvelon contraceptives, but it had been almost half a year since shest use it. This was alright. However, Yuan Xuan had not gotten used to using condoms during that period of time. She had not made it a habit to control Yuan Xuans smoking either. Everyone knew that the couple should stop smoking and drinking alcohol altogether when they were getting ready to conceive. Neither of them had done enough preparation... Yuan Tian noticed that Mu Chenyan was still worried and tried tofort her by saying, Theres no point in worrying. You should look at the situation first before deciding if you want to keep it or not. Mu Chenyans little hands tightened their grip on the corners of the nket when Yuan Tian said this. She was slightly afraid. She would definitely want to keep the baby if she was pregnant! Yuan Xuan stopped pacing. He was clearly anxious as well. Nheless, a child is a gift from God. Fate decides when youll have a baby. There are a lot of people out there who had gotten pregnant despite not wanting a baby while some have spent their entire lives praying for one but remain childless. If this baby makes it, hell be prepared to face the changes in the outside world. You dont have to worry about his health. Come to the hospital with an empty stomach tomorrow morning to have your full-body checkup done. Yuan Tian nced at Yuan Xuan when she said this. The stern doctor turned into a spoiled little devil in the blink of an eye. She said with glee, My brother has strong genes. I believe that everything will be fine. Oh, Im going to be an aunt soon. Im so excited! Footnotes:

Chapter 324: Little Chenyan, I Would Be Really Happy If It Was a Girl

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The grumpy look remained on Yuan Xuans face while Yuan Tian was still here. He seemed frighteningly stern. The mans arrogant expression fell at once when Yuan Tian left. He jumped on the bed and crawled next to Mu Chenyan. He was brimming with anticipation and uneasiness when his trembling hands stroked her belly that was still t and taut. He had not painstakingly nted his seeds in vain! Little Chenyan, Id be really happy if it was a girl! Mu Chenyan blushed when those words escaped Yuan Xuans lips. She had always assumed that he wanted a son. Why do you want it to be a girl? Frankly, Mu Chenyan did not have any preference for either sex. If she was really pregnant, she would already love the baby simply because it was her own child. Because I cant stand the cold during winter! Yuan Xuans voice was a little hoarse, but it could not hide his excitement. Mu Chenyan could not think of a reply. What did the sex of their baby have anything to do with him dreading the cold? Didnt you know that daughters stick close to their parents like little quilted jackets? If you give birth to a baby girl, my daughter will continue to wrap her arms around my neck when Im 60 years old. Shell even ask me if I want to buy a pair of warm shoes! Were you hoping for a son? That little brat will try to steal you from me. I cant bear to let you sleep next to another male. Hes also going to suckle this part of you! Yuan Xuan sounded rather jealous when he spoke about having a son. He even poked Mu Chenyans chest with his finger... Damn, she had never met someone who would be jealous of their own son! This was too unreasonable. Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows and pushed hisrge hands away. She red at him and muttered, Youre so immature! Yuan Xuan was not annoyed. Rather, he was quite pleased. He seemed to be carried away by the joy of being a father for the first time. Nothing has been confirmed yet. Lets sleep earlier tonight. ording to Big Tian, we can only be sure after the checkup at the hospital tomorrow morning. Mu Chenyan pulled the nket over her andid down. She was not tired at all actually since she had spent the entire afternoon sleeping. Moreover, this unexpected discovery and all her other worries would definitely make it difficult for her to fall asleep! Yuan Xuan was in a simr predicament. After tossing and turning in bed, he decided to just get up and go to the balcony. He took out a cigarette, but he put it back immediately when he remembered that his home should bepletely free of the smell of smoke from now on. A short whileter, the couple went downstairs to drink some water and then went up to shower. Yuan Xuan made Mu Chenyan a bowl of noodles when she finally got hungry. Both of them went outside to walk around in the garden when Mu Chenyan felt too full after the meal... Oh my, it was already one oclock in the morning when they finally crawled under the covers and prepared to sleep... * The next day, Yuan Xuan woke up bright and early while Mu Chenyanzed around in bed for awhile. She was nearly stunned by the scene before her when she went downstairs after washing up. Yuan Xuan was standing in the kitchen. He was dressed in a thin pale V-neck sweater and a pair of long dark pants. He had matched these two pieces of clothing together without much thought. He looked elegant despite wearing the most casual of clothing. Most importantly, this man was currently cooking at home. Yes, he was certainly cooking! Mistress, youre finally here. Look, the Young Master has cooked all this delicious food for you. This was the first time Ah Fu had witnessed Yuan Xuan cooking. There were traces of admiration and amazement in her tone. Mu Chenyan noticed that several bright colored seasonal vegetable side dishes were already ced on the table. He had chosen a good range of colors. There were red and yellow bell peppers, fresh green spinach, orange carrots, and white potato strips... He had also fried two hairtail fish until they turned a beautiful golden-brown. She wondered how he had cooked them until there was pungent smell of fish at all left. There was also a bowl of steamed egg custard. He had sprinkled spring onions and coriander on it, making it look extremely appealing. When did you learn how to cook? Mu Chenyan looked on in surprised when Yuan Xuan came out of the kitchen. He was carrying a bowl of herbal chicken soup and a vegetarian fried fungus dish. Every husband knows how to cook, Yuan Xuan said dryly. One could not know from the way he spoke how long had he waited for this day to arrive. Yuan Xuan was a person who did everything seriously. Naturally, he would have done a lot of preparation before he started cooking because of his meticulous and patient personality. He had read the recipes dozens of times... His food tasted delicious and looked very appetizing as well. This made Mu Chenyan doubted her own abilities now. Cooking was supposed to be a carefree task. Why did Yuan Xuan have to write lengthy notes just to do this? Why didnt I know about this before? You and Ah Fu refused to let me handle this in the past! This is thein filed by a naturally talented cook! Are you only showing off because Im pregnant? Mu Chenyan became envious when she realized this. He was apparently only doing this for his daughter... If you agree, the kitchen will be my domain in the future. Ill put up a fight against anyone who enters! The handsome man was joking around in a natural manner. He looked really attractive then. Ah Fu was also amused by the Young Masters adorable behavior. Would that mean that she would beid off in the future? That was not right! Their household would definitely be busier with the addition of a little prince or princess... Yuan Xuan reached out anddled a bowl of chicken soup for Mu Chenyan. His expression was indifferent. Does it taste pungent? Mu Chenyan tasted it. It was delicious, but she had trouble digesting greasy food now, so she only drank a few sips of the soup. Though she did ate a lot of the assorted seasonal vegetable side dishes and stir fried fungus. Mu Chenyan changed into a new set of clothes once she had finished eating. Then, Yuan Xuan drove her to the military hospital. They did not have to line up because their family owned the hospital. Mu Chenyan startedining after they took her blood. Yuan Tian told me toe on an empty stomach. I cant do the rest of the tests now... Yuan Xuan smiled. This woman was devouring the food with a big smile earlier and had only recalled Yuan Tians order right now. It was agonizing wait. Mu Chenyan could not decide whether she felt excited or uneasy. Honestly, she was not mentally prepared to have a baby. It was just all too sudden. She could never leave Yuan Xuan if they had this child. She had yet to discover the truth about the grudges between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family, but had somehow gotten herself pregnant with the descendant of the Yuan Family... She decided not to think so far ahead. This baby would be a child of the Yuan Family, but it would also be Mu Chenyans child. Yuan Tian had said that every child was a part of their parents destiny! Mu Chenyan? The young nurse stood at the doorway and called for her. Yuan Xuan walked over from the VIPne and took theboratory test report from the nurse. This was her first time seeing a father who was as handsome as Yuan Xuan. Her human chorionic gonadotropin levels are very high. Congrattions, your wife is pregnant... The young nurse nced at the expectant mother when she said this. She thought, Theyre really a match made in heaven! Yuan Xuans hands began to shake as he walked toward Mu Chenyan with the report. It was as if he was feeling every emotion known to humans all at once. Thank you, Little Chenyan! He lowered his head as he spoke and sealed his lips tightly with Mu Chenyans cherry-colored ones... The couple kissed as though they were the only people there. The other pregnant women around them cried out in surprise. Look at them. Thats so romantic! Wow, what a loving father! This child will definitely be born with good genes... Oh, thats so touching. Im going to cry... Thements from the crowd made Mu Chenyan blush. She broke free from Yuan Xuans clutches and reprimanded him in a small voice, This is so embarrassing... I dont mind! This man who had just been told that he was about to be a father had ceased to be cold and restrained. On the contrary, he was extremely excited! A highly experienced obstetrician consoled Mu Chenyan and informed her that drinking alcohol would not affect the baby terribly. Theb report wrote that Mu Chenyan was over fifty days pregnant. Pay attention to your health and get more rest when you go home. You cant have sex during the first three months... Yuan Xuan paid extra attention to thest thing that the doctor said. Im going to cook for you tonight. Youre too skinny! Yuan Xuan sighed while he made those ns. Do I really have to hold back for three months? Mu Chenyan did not bother to give him a response. Chapter 325 - A Warm Heart Was Hidden Behind This Man’s Cold and Arrogant Appearance!

Chapter 325: A Warm Heart Was Hidden Behind This Mans Cold and Arrogant Appearance!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan had instructed Yan Jun to pick Mu Chenyan up and take her home. He then rushed to the supermarket to buy some cooking ingredients. Yuan Xuan was never concerned about small matters like grocery shopping before this. As the Young Master of the Yuan Family, both his clothes and food were specially made for him. Had he ever pushed a shopping cart through the supermarket before? That was an unimaginable scene... Mu Chenyan wanted to follow him, but Yuan Xuan had refused to let here along. The supermarket was packed with people and the quality of the air there was bad. He told her to go home with Yan Jun first. Mu Chenyan had no choice but to leave this to Chef Yuan! She thought that Yuan Xuan could actually be a world-ss chef if he decided to stop working at hispany. After all, a studious person like him would always be serious aboutpleting their tasks. He would not just give in to failure. * Ah Fu rushed over to Mu Chenyan when she had returned to Hibiscus Garden. Mistress, are we going to have a Little Master soon? Mu Chenyan felt both amused and embarrassed when she saw the excited little girl. She was not used to the fact that she had been given a new status as a mother so suddenly and could not help but blush whenever asked about it. It might be a Little Mistress! Mu Chenyan said with a smile. The little prince or princess will definitely be adorable! Mu Chenyanughed and shook her head helplessly when she heard this. A thought shed across Mu Chenyans mind when she went up the stairs and walked past Yuan Xuans study. She scanned her surroundings in a hurry before pushing open the door. Mu Chenyan turned on hisputer. Her fingers trembled as she entered a series of numbers. She had first met Yuan Xuan on the 6th of March, the day that marked the beginning of the third sr term... The screen shed and an image of herself appeared. She stared at her own picture in shock. A few seconds had passed before Mu Chenyan realized that she had turned on theputer! Yuan Xuans wallpaper was a picture of her while they were studying in Ennd. She was very surprised by this. She was only 17 years old in that picture. She looked sweet and innocent, but it was not a surprise that she was a bit stuck up then. The Yuan Xuan back then did not seem to have a good impression of her because she was always pestering him. He had apparently liked her all this while! Mu Chenyans fingertips turned white as she looked at the screen. The hand that was holding the mouse quivered. She did not know whether this would be considered as a betrayal. Mu Chenwu did not exin why he wanted the things he asked for. However, her brother had promised that he would leave Luo Hai once he had obtained this information. He would never show his face here ever again. Neither she nor her mother could leave now. Yuan Xuan would never allow her to leave, especially now that she was pregnant. Nheless, she would be relieved if Mu Chenwu could leave safely. Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan had been together for a long time. She knew that Mu Chenwu would be sending himself to the grave if he resisted Yuan Xuan with his current forces. She could not allow Mu Chenwu to fight against overwhelming odds. She would not let that happen, at least for now. Mu Chenyan opened several files on the desktop. She could not find the one file that Mu Chenwu needed after rummaging through theputer for a while. Could it be that this file was not saved on thisputer? Mu Chenyan sat there and pondered. Yuan Xuan usually did his work in this room. That meant that thisputer would definitely have stored certain information. It would be impossible if he did not save them here. Mu Chenyanbed through the smaller files on his various portable hard drives carefully. There were only a few files on Yuan Xuans hard drives, and one of them was locked with a password. Mu Chenyan looked at it and keyed in a password. When she opened it, she discovered that it was filled with photos of herself as she grew up... There were pictures of her as a child. They showed her running around and causing a ruckus in the Yuan household while she yed with Yuan Tian. There were also photos of her as a young girl in junior high when she tied her hair in braids. She saw herself who loved ying basketball in high school leaping up from the court. Yuan Xuan had gotten someone to take these pictures of her. She looked like a simple-minded person in these photos. Next up were the pictures of her in high school. She saw pictures of her at every public speakingpetition and every study group meeting she had organized. There were pictures of her in a swimsuit and one where the corners of her mouth were stained with ketchup while eating a steak... Mu Chenyan felt as though she was taking a walk down the memoryne when she looked at those photos. In their rtionship, she had always assumed that she loved Yuan Xuan more than he loved her, but now she realized she was the one who tended to show off her love while Yuan Xuan had merely chosen to disy his in a restrained manner... The only thing that troubled her was that the indifference Yuan Xuan had shown to her during the ten years she had pursued him was a result of his confusion and hesitance toward her love. A warm heart was hidden behind this mans cold and arrogant appearance! If she had not gotten to know Yuan Xuan better this past year after she was released from prison, she would have never realized that he loved her so much... Mu Chenyan felt bittersweet when she looked at all the pictures in the folder. Her eyes welled up with tears as well. The woman closed the files and caressed her belly. Although it was still t, a tiny life was growing in there at the very moment. She had never stopped loving Yuan Xuan despite everything. She had never been able to turn away from the temptation of loving him and had flung herself into the thrill of it recklessly. She was torn between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family, but her heart was leaning toward Yuan Xuan in the final moments. Nheless, she would feel more at ease if Mu Chenwu agreed to leave Luo Hai safe and sound. When she thought of this, she opened the files again. Seconds and minutes ticked by. Mu Chenyan was panicking, but she forced herself to stay calm. Mu Chenyan finally found the information that Mu Chenwu wanted in a hidden file. She transferred a copy of the file to her sh drive hastily before sending another copy of it to her email. Ah Fus shocked cries echoed from downstairs. Young Master, youve bought so many ingredients! Well have enough tost us for a really long time! I bought a little bit of everything to make sure that the Mistress gets enough nourishment! Women usually have a hard time when theyre pregnant, so I have to take good care of her during these few months. You can leave the cooking to me during this period of time. Yuan Xuan rolled up his sleeves as he said this. This man was a CEO and an iparably elegant son of an aristocrat, but he looked like an actual chef now... Ah Fu watched as this godlike man came down upon his high horse and walked into the kitchen. The helpless girl could not help but sigh to herself. She thought, The Mistress might just be the most charming person ever. The sessor of Luo Hais first aristocratic family had actually be such a down-to-earth househusband with her... Mu Chenyan panicked when she heard the noises. Her forehead was immediately covered in sweat. She removed her sh drive right away and pressed the button to turn theputer off. The woman left the study and rushed into the bedroom. Yuan Xuan walked to the corner of the stairs and yelled, Mistress, are you sleeping again? Mu Chenyan poked her head out of the bedroom. She pretended to look as if she had just woken up and crawled out of bed. She smiled and said, Nonsense! As if Id spend the entire day sleeping. Do I look like a pig to you? Mu Chenyan had changed into a set of pink pajamas. She looked adorable when the fluffy bunny ears on her outfit fell on her shoulders. Her husband could not help but approach her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He lowered his head and kissed her lips... Their tongues quickly intertwined with each other and the suckling noises they made were getting more and more erotic. Mu Chenyan had trouble breathing at one point. She moaned softly as her hands grabbed the smooth flesh around Yuan Xuans waist tightly. Yuan Xuan rxed a little when he noticed that she needed some air. He did not intend to release her anytime soon though. This man was an extremely good kisser, but his skills were deadly as well. Mu Chenyan felt as though she had turned into a pool of water after kissing for just a while. Mu Chenyan was feeling emotional now. Perhaps this was caused by the pregnancy, or the anxiety that she was feeling earlier. This could have also arisen when she realized that Yuan Xuan was keeping secrets from her. She leaned into Yuan Xuans embrace. Her thoughts and heart were an absolute mess. She murmured, Everything feels like a dream... Chapter 326 - Would She Have to Bury the Hatchet Once Mu Chenwu Left Luo Hai?

Chapter 326: Would She Have to Bury the Hatchet Once Mu Chenwu Left Luo Hai?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan knew that she was touched. The man caressed her fluffy head and murmured, Well have to hold back for three months. How are we going to survive those days? Why dont you use this instead? As he spoke, Yuan Xuan covered her red lips with the course pads of his fingers. This irritated Mu Chenyan so much that she hit him. Youre so indecent! How shameless... Why are you embarrassed? Youve already seen me doing the most obscene things. He kept saying increasingly inappropriate things. Mu Chenyan struck him again before changing the subject. Whats for dinner? Im quite hungry now. Yuan Xuan ran to the kitchen to start cooking when he heard that his wife was hungry. Mu Chenyan took her phone out when Yuan Xuan left. She opened her email and pressed the send button gently after a moment of hesitation... It was sent sessfully! Suddenly, a recurring thought shed in Mu Chenyans mind again. Would she have to bury the hatchet once Mu Chenwu left Luo Hai? * Mu Chenwu opened his mailbox. The corners of his lips curled up into an arc when he saw the email that Mu Chenyan had sent. Good girl. You were my final weapon indeed! Mu Chenwus eyes were bloodshot. He was holding half of a refractory brick. This was aposite material that he had been carefully preparing. It would explode upon collision or contact with water. Mu Chenwu had been wanting to get his hands on the document that contained information regarding Yuan Xuans ports and ships since half a year ago. He had instructed several hackers to hack into Yuan Xuanspany database. Unfortunately, his firewall was just too strong. The hackers had failed, and Yuan Xuan had been keeping a close eye on them after that. The poisoning case at Zong He allowed Wu Huai to arrest the hackers once he had discovered their base. Mu Chenwu was forced to stand back and wait patiently as he had lost his capable assistants. It was impossible for him to do anything without those documents. Yuan Zhe had been helping him to expand his forces in secret. However, he was stuck in the most crucial step. Mu Chenwu realized that he was backed into a corner when he discovered that Yuan Zhe was murdered. Instead of resigning himself to his fate, he decided to seek Mu Chenyans assistance. Mu Chenwu had not been entirely optimistic about the idea. After all, his excuses were wed and filled with holes. An intelligent person like Mu Chenyan would not necessarily believe him, much less help him. He was prepared for both oues when he kidnapped Mu Chenyan. If she helped him, he would release her and execute the original n. If Mu Chenyan refused, he would change the n as needed. He would use Mu Chenyan as bait to lure Yuan Xuan to the construction site at Green Smoke Mountain which he had been using as a base. Anyhow, the worst that would happen was a life or death struggle that would end in mutual destruction... The situation had developed in a way that had exceeded his expectations greatly. Everything went just a bit too smoothly. Mu Chenyan had cared too much about her own family so much so that a smart woman like her would make such rming decisions. Do you really think that Ill leave Luo Hai now that I have this? A sinister smile appeared on Mu Chenwus face. Im going to arrange everything perfectly and wait for your Brother Xuan to fall into my trap! * Yuan Family Mansion... The news of Mu Chenyans pregnancy could not be hidden any longer. Despite the recent death in the mansion, the good news brought joy to several families. However, others were not so pleased to hear this. Yuan Tian and Wen Ya were happy for Mu Chenyan. Both of them had sent people to deliver their gifts at once. Yuan Tian gave her a little radio. It was designed to look like the title character of the Peppa Pig cartoon. It was extremely adorable. Mu Chenyan did not know what this was for, but Yuan Tian told her to use it for prenatal education. She could connect her phone to the radio and y different types of prenatal education information through the applications. Using the radio instead of a smartphone would prevent the baby from being exposed to radiation. Mu Chenyan was moved by Yuan Tians attentiveness. Wen Ya had given her a pair of bolsters that were specially made for pregnant women. Mu Chenyan had stared at these long weirdly-shaped pillows for a long time and still could not figure out how to use them. This was not surprising as she had never been pregnant before. She did not know that her stomach would swell like a balloon during her pregnancy. This pillow was an incredible item that would help her sleep because it would reduce the pressure and feeling of heaviness that was exerted on her belly. Su Qingcheng decided to give her a set of prenatal education books when she heard about it. She told Mu Chenyan that the baby would be able to hear and feel things inside the womb once it was three months old. She could start talking to her baby by then... This was wonderful! As a new mother, Mu Chenyan was actually more concerned about these things than the joy of her pregnancy. Naturally, Mr. Yuan seemed very anxious. He had tried various food and beverage recipes, worried that Mu Chenyan wascking nourishment. He had bought three weighing scales and put them in the house to monitor Mu Chenyans weight gain. He would measure her weight once on each scale and take the average value. Yuan Xuan had instructed Ah Fu to record her weight every day from now and write it on the whiteboard on the dining room wall. Once Yuan Xuan had obtained more data, he would use it to draw a curve... Nothing less was expected from a schr like Third Young Master Yuan. He could even treat his wifes weight as if it was a mathematical question. Of course, not everyone was happy about this development. Shu Qinger felt annoyed and furious when she discovered that Mu Chenyan was pregnant. This little brat came at such a bad time! Shu Qinger was enraged when she noticed that Yuan Xuan had rejected the Old Mistress invitations to have dinner at Upper Mansion these past two days. She put the me on Mu Chenyan entirely for this. She was itching to rush over and beat Mu Chenyan up. The Old Mistress did not make any remarks. After all, Mu Chenyan was pregnant with Yuan Xuans child, and she was hoping for a grandchild all along. She had wanted Yuan Xuan to break up with that woman precisely because of this reason. Now that Mu Chenyan was pregnant, she could never mention that ever again. The Old Mistress knew full well that Qinger had feelings for Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Xuan did not reciprocate them... Everyone in the Yuan Family Mansion was still preparing for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. Yuan Xuan was making arrangements for this all along. This was a chance for Luo Hais aristocratic families to disy their influence. After Yuan Zhes murder, they could not afford to handle this carelessly. Mu Chenyan had already prepared a dress for this asion, but Yuan Xuan had banned her from wearing now that she was pregnant. How am I going to attend the banquet if you wont let me wear my nice dress? There were less than 24 hours left. Mu Chenyan nearly teared up at Yuan Xuans decision. You can just wear something casual. It wont make any difference because youre already so beautiful, Mistress. Yuan Xuan told Ah Fu to keep the dress that Mu Chenyan took out. It was a pale blue cocktail dress with a plunging neckline. He grabbed Mu Chenyan with one arm and exined, Itll be a hectic event. You cant wear that dress because youll have to wear it with high heels. I wont allow it! Mu Chenyan did know what to say. Ill get my staff to buy you some cosmetics that are specially formted for pregnant women. Ive put them in the bathroom for you. Mu Chenyan still did not know what to say. Also, you dont have to drive anymore. The seat belt will be too tight when youre driving, and itll be bad for the baby if your emotions fluctuate. Ill get Yan Jun to find you a driver to send you to work in the future! Mu Chenyan could not think of a response. Lastly, Im going to give you massages from now on, Mistress. Ive hired an experienced midwife from Germany who told me that most Jewish fathers would do this when their wives were pregnant. Mistress, would you like to try it now? Yuan Xuan made Mu Chenyan sit down upon saying this. He rubbed her shoulders and made her rx her back. Rx, Mistress. Ive only learned a little bit now, but therell be more time to do thister. Ill be able to give you better service once Ive learned more things! Mu Chenyan remained silent. Yuan Xuan, why are you being so nice to me? Little Chenyans eyes had tears in them when she said this. She was choking back sobs. Can I make a request? Will you let me wear my dress and high heels onest time for tomorrows banquet... Chapter 327 - Im Going to Marry Zheng Shuyan Once His Case Is Settled

Chapter 327: Im Going to Marry Zheng Shuyan Once His Case Is Settled

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was normal for Luo Hais aristocratic families to hold banquets. Mu Chenyan had previously experienced these festivities while she was still part of the Mu Family. She had only attended one of these events after being released from prison. That was the banquet that the Yuan Family held during the National Day. Her state of mind had changed drastically since then. As she waited for Yan Mei to return to her normal self, she had had times where she hated Yuan Xuan and times where she loved him as well. Her mind had be calmer now that she was about to be a mother soon. Without these unstable emotions, she had ceased to reject the idea of public gatherings. A theme would be set for the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. This year, Yuan Xuan had suggested that they use this opportunity to hold a charity event to raise funds. Normally, these wealthy aristocratic families have expensive but unused items at home. Instead of letting them go to waste, we should give them this opportunity to sell their items and donate the money to charity. We can put the remaining items up for auction and used the collected funds for public welfare. Yuan Xuan told Mu Chenyan his n. Mu Chenyan supported Yuan Xuans idea of helping the poor by robbing the rich entirely. Can some of the funds be allocated as financial aid for families like Sun Xus where one of the family members was killed in action? Mu Chenyan was still thinking about the victims of Nie Chaos case. She discovered through Sun Xus family that there were many other families in the same predicament as them. They already had a hard time surviving on nothing but the governments subsidies. Worst of all, they had to encounter a government official like Nie Chao. Yuan Xuan nodded and said, Of course. You can go to the storeroom at home and pick some items. Well auction them off. The Yuan Family certainly had an impressive number of antiques. Most of them were collected when the Old Master was still alive. The Old Mistress would instruct her staff to sort out the antiques that still looked decent and ce them in the main hall in Upper Mansion. The antiques of average quality and condition had been simply piled up in the storeroom. Mu Chenyan happily epted this task and took Ah Fu along with her to select the antiques. Ah Fu knew that the Yuan Family had numerous antiques, but Yuan Xuan was not the kind to decorate his house with such things. Hibiscus Garden was designed in a clean and minimalistic way. The girl had never been here before, so she could not help to be a little curious when she went in. She had helped Mu Chenyan chose a jade crescent de with an Azure Dragon (TL: Traditional Chinese symbol) design. On the other hand, Mu Chenyan had selected a Child-Sending Guanyin statue with eight different colored metals and jade embedded at the base, a pair of porcin tes, and a watercolor painting on a long scroll painted by the Yuan Dynasty painter, Wang Meng. * The banquet was held in the main hall of Luo Haisrgest seven-star hotel, the Grand Prosperity International Hotel. A line of luxury cars had already started to form at the entrance to the hotel before it was even seven oclock. Their guests included the elites of the business world and important politicians. Naturally, the security checks at the entrance were extremely strict. The visitors went through the security checks one after another with their invitation cards in hand. The items that they had brought to be auctioned also had to be dered before they were collected by the staff and moved inside in preparation for the auction. The guests could then enter the hall without being burdened by any heavy objects. A lively situation ensued as they happily chatted with each other along the way. Yuan Xuan forbade Mu Chenyan to wear her fancy dress and high heels. She had no choice but to put on light makeup and wore a simple champagne-colored set of formal wear matched with a pair of ts that the stylist had chosen for her. Although these clothes were not as beautiful or exquisite as the fancy dress, Mu Chenyan was still a cut above the rest. Fortunately, she looked good in anything because of her trimmed figure. Mu Chenyansplexion was much better now than it was a few days ago. This was due to the fact that she had just gotten preganant and Yuan Xuans culinary skills had started to show their results. She truly looked gorgeous in this outfit. The other young women in the household such as Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran would definitely be expected to dress up beautifully. Yuan Tian had surprisingly decided to attend the banquet this time and hade wearing a little ck dress. She had slim waist, long legs, and short hair. Her skin was not as white but the tone was just nice. It made her look seductive and bewitching in the dress . Several young men from the aristocratic families had already recognized Yuan Tian before she reached the main hall. This doctor certainly looked incredibly exquisite and beautiful when she was dolled up. Yuan Tian hardly attended banquets like this in the past. Now that she was here, she had instantly be the target of all the unmarried young men there. Yuan Ran was not faring so well these few days. Her rtionship with Shao Yibai had been awkward after he had revealed his true feelings to her. Yuan Zhes death had led the broken-hearted woman to chose a pearl-white dress and put on a light-colored lipstick. She looked rather haggard. Wen Ya was still the Yuan Familys eldest granddaughter-inw at the moment. However, she would be leaving the Yuan Family after this banquet. She had no children nor any discernible connections with the family and had stayed just to apany the Old Mistress. In this household, the Old Mistress was the only person who had doted on her as if she were her own child. After Yuan Zhes death, the Old Mistress had discovered that Wen Ya had been abused all along when she overheard part of her servants conversations. She was enraged and had gotten into a serious argument with Yuan Tangzhong as a result. She then promised Wen Ya that the Yuan Family would treat her like one of their own daughters and prepare the dowry for her if she was willing to marry again... All sorts of feelings welled up in Wen Yas heart. The Yuan Family had destroyed the happiness in her life, but they were also the ones who had been the kindest to her at the same time. At least the Old Mistress had truly cared for her. Wen Ya was not an arrogant person by nature. She could clearly distinguish where her gratitude and resentment were due respectively. The members of the Yuan Family in Peace Mansion were the ones who had tormented her, but she could never forget the Old Mistress kindness. Yuan Zhe was dead, and her beloved Zheng Shuyan was at deaths door. She was uncertain whether she could still find true love on earth. Mu Chenyan saw Wen Ya outside the hall. She was not wearing any makeup, d in a in dress, and . Her gaze was empty and distant, looking terribly pitiful overall. Mu Chenyan remembered when she saw Wen Ya for the first time at a banquet a year ago when she had just been released from prison. She had look brilliant then. Things might have remained the same, but people changed as time passed. When she took everything into consideration, she realized that they had all changed into entirely people now. Mu Chenyan could not help but feel sad. She pulled Wen Ya over and went to a secluded area where they took some fruit and ate them leisurely. Chenyan, Im going to leave the Yuan household after the Mid-Autumn Festival. After that, Im going to marry Zheng Shuyan once his case is settled. A peaceful and natural smile appeared on Wen Yas face when she said this. Mu Chenyan was so shocked that she nearly dropped the fruit tter that she was holding. Wen Ya, he might be locked up his whole life. Are you really going to do this? Wen Ya nodded determinedly. Her expression was devoid of any emotion, but her gaze was firm and resolute. There was not a single trace of hesitance found in her words. It doesnt matter when hes released. Ill wait for him. Ive asked about this and discovered that prisoners can get married too as long as he doesnt get sick of me. Ill visit him frequently. His father is still alive so Im going to take care of him! Mu Chenyan did not know how to respond to this. Wen Ya had spent half of her life being miserable. She decided to support her decision. The Old Mistress doesnt know about my rtionship with Zheng Shuyan yet. Shell discover it sooner orter, and I dont n to keep it from her anyway. Please help me fulfill my filial duty toward her when Im unable to visit the Yuan household in the future... Wen Ya was a naturally kind-hearted person. She was still thinking of others now. It was just that her rtionship with the Yuan family had beplicated. Mu Chenyan nodded. Ill respect your decision as long as youre happy. The Yuan Family had sent Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhuan to greet the guests at the banquet. Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo were apanying the Old Mistress in the lounge at the back. She would onlye out when the event was about to begin. Mu Chenyan saw Feng Rao in the hall. This woman was beautifully dolled up. She was wearing a blue mermaid gown that entuated her slim waist. Feng Raos gaze darted toward her when she noticed Mu Chenyan walking over. A meaningful smile appeared on her face. She waved at Mu Chenyan and held her thumb up in approval... Mu Chenyan thought of her brother. He had yet to respond despite having received her email. Panic filled her heart when she saw Feng Raos gesture. She merely nodded as she had never been close to Feng Rao. Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai walked over at this moment. Mu Chenyan heard Shao Yibai ask, Is everything ready? A dazzling light faintly shed across Yuan Xuans cold eyes. He lowered his voice and said, Of course! Mu Chenyan did not know what they were talking about. She assumed that they were referring to the auction that would happen soon. Yuan Xuans expression immediately changed when he noticed the absent-minded look on her face. Mistress, are you feeling unwell? Are you tired? The banquet hasnt started, so why dont you go and rest in the lounge at the back for now if youre tired? Mu Chenyan shook her head and gave a faint smile. Since when have I been so fragile? You cant handle everything here on your own if I leave. She did not like situations like these. Other than famous public figures, the people that flocked to events like this were mostly important political officials. The Yuan Family was actually a prominent n before, and its members were growing in numbers. Who would have thought that Yuan Zhes abusive tendencies would make Wen Ya refused to attend events like this and the only person left was Mu Chenyan herself. Everyone would treat them likeughing stocks if she hid as well. Yuan Xuans heart warmed up when he realized that she was concerned for him. The man lowered his voice and whispered beside her ear, Youve worked hard, Mistress. I must give you a good massage when we get home! Mu Chenyan blushed when she heard this. This man knew that her ears had always been sensitive. When he mentioned a massage, she knew that he would end up ravaging her body. Not a single inch of her body would remain untouched by him... He was a scoundrel! Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan greeted the guests at the doorway for some time until they realized that nearly everyone was here. Once everything had settled down, Yuan Xuan asked sent someone to call the Old Mistress, Yuan Tangzhong, and Yuan Tangshuo who were resting in the lounge at the back. Mu Chenyan scanned the hall in search of something. On the other side, Yuan Tian was surrounded by several handsome and talented young men. She had no way of escaping them. Miss Yuan, I had just obtained my masters degree at University of California... Yuan Tian thought to herself, I didnt even go to college... My father and the Third Young Master had recently coborated on the development and extraction of minerals in the west. Theyre pretty much old family friends... Yuan Tian rolled her eyes. Im not close to the Yuan Family... Ive heard that Miss Yuan is a famous heart and brain surgeon in the Military Hospital... Yuan Tian smirked. Ill operate on you when you need it... Miss Yuan has such nice skin. Its pale with the slightest hint of rosiness... Yuan Tian huffed. Are you blind... Mu Chenyan could not do anything butugh and shake her head. No one could resist a beauty like her. A ck rose like Yuan Tian was much more charming and attractive than the pretentious and delicate youngdies of the aristocratic families. She had her own quirks and personality, so that was why those men found extraordinary women like her extremely alluring. Mu Chenyan decided not to disturb Yuan Tian. She did not want to ruin her chances of finding her love. Her gaze shifted to a corner where Wen Ya was speaking to a middle-aged couple in a hushed voice. She looked a little irritated. The heated argument they seemed to engage in made their faces look flushed. Mu Chenyan walked over quietly. She overheard Wen Ya scolding the couple. I cant believe youre shameless enough to attend this event. Have the Wen Family not embarrass themselves enough in Luo Hai? Chapter 328 - This Was an Outrageous Scandal! Chapter 328: This Was an Outrageous Scandal! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The middle-aged man was all the more enraged when Wen Ya said that. He raised his voice as if he wanted the world to hear what he was about to say. How am I embarrassing myself now? The middle-aged woman beside him looked rather cowardly. She tugged at the mans sleeve and murmured, Wen Youquan, you should be kinder to your daughter. How could you treat her like this when shes already gone through so much? They were Wen Yas parents! Why cant I be here when I have received an invitation from the Yuan Family? Wen Ya hasnt left the Yuan Family yet, and even if she did, shell still be a widow. With the Yuan Familys opulence, they could simply give us any amount of money aspensation and it would still be enough to support the Wen Family for half a year! Wen Youquans voice was loud. It had made several distinguished guests around them nced in their direction. Normally, the Wen Family would be considered as one of Luo Hais prominent families. However, the Wen Familys mismanagement of their estates these past few years had caused their profits to shrink significantly. They had relied on the Yuan Family to seek connections in high ces for several years. Nheless, they were happy when Yuan Zhe died. It was inevitable that people would cast indignant nces at a downtrodden man. Worse still, Wen Youquan was an utterly despicable man who remained bold and confident despite having sold his daughter. Look, this corrupted man is still as shameless as ever... Ugh, enough of that. I heard that Wen Ya killed the Eldest Young Master of the Yuan Family with the man whom she was cheating on him with! Is that true? Rumor has it that the man who had been arrested had also studied in Ennd before... Oh yes, thats true. A doctor turning into a ruthless killer overnight... How terrifying! This is why the Wen Family came to bepensated. It looks like they really couldnt wait... Whether it was with intention or otherwise, the people around Wen Ya were speaking so loudly that she could hear them. In the past, Wen Ya was also one of Luo Hais most exceptional socialites. Now that she had fallen from grace, they could not help but criticize her whenever they got the chance to! This was not surprising. People liked to praise others when they were doing well, but they would not hesitate to trample on them when they were down. Wen Ya regarded her parents with distaste. Resentment stirred in her heart. Her parents had yed a huge role in leading her to where she was today. She gave a sarcastic smile. Compensation? Are you really nning to ask the Yuan Family for money? Wen Youquan scowled, and just like that, this man who used to be one of Luo Hais renown entrepreneurs had disyed to the entire world the ugliness of humanity. He said without a hint of shame, Why shouldnt I? The Yuan Family can offer up so many treasures for a simple auction already. Dont tell me youre so stupid as to j leave this marriage with nothing? Wen Ya red at him and scoffed, I wasnt nning to take a single cent from the Yuan Family! I still have stocks at the National Arts Commerce that I had been managing. Wen Youquans eyes lit up when he heard this. His greedy nature had been revealed. Wen Ya chuckled bitterly. But Im sorry to inform you that youre not getting anything from the National Arts Commerce even though I have shares in thepany. Im going to keep that money and use it to take care of Zheng Shuyans family. You shameless wretch! Wen Youquans temper red when he heard that his daughter was going to give the money to someone else. Are you really going to give your money to the family of a killer when you could give it to your own parents instead? Wen Ya turned away with an exasperated look on her face. The parents of a killer are still better parents than you two! You raised me for so many years, but I was just a source of easy money to you. I was stupid enough to let you manipte me for so many years. You have ruined more than half of my life... Li Cuizhi listened as her daughter and husband argued. Neither of them seemed to want to give in to one another at all. She also heard Wen Ya insisting that she was going to marry that killer. How would the people of Luo Hai see the Wen Family after this? Her husband has died, and now she was going to marry his murderer? Wen Ya, you cant be so heartless. Your father has a point. How could you only take care of them? Whats going to happen to us next time once were old? Li Cuizhis voice sounded like it was about to crack. Before her tears could trickle down the corners of her eyes, her daughters cold lips moved. Have you forgotten about my older brother? Youve never treated me like your daughter all these years. You only cared about your son. Shouldnt you be thinking of your son at a time as desperate as this? Wen Youquan and Li Cuizhi were rendered speechless by Wen Yas words. Sorrow filled Wen Yas heart as she looked at her parents. You may not have treated me like your daughter, but Ive always been grateful for my upbringing. You should be satisfied because Ive done so many things for the Wen Family already! Well go our separate ways after this. Dont even dream about getting a single scrap from me! Wen Ya was already at the edge of exploding in fury. She had initially nned to chase Wen Youquan and his wife out, but there were too many people here now. She would only embarrass everyone. Wen Youquan snarled when he realized that he could not control his daughter anymore. He chuckled darkly and said, Do you think that I cant find another way to extort the Yuan Family? Youre too naive. I have other ways to get my money without having to use you! Why do you think were here today? Did you really assume that we merely came here to drink? Hmph! Just so you wait and see! Wen Ya did not know why, but a chilling malice rose from the depths of her heart. What are you going to do? Li Cuizhi tugged at Wen Youquanspel to stop him from talking any further. Mu Chenyan could only grasp half of what was really going on and was prepared to drag Wen Ya away to advise her not to quarrel with her parents, but the members of the Yuan Family had already appeared on the other side. Yuan Ran and Yuan Tian supported the Old Mistress while her two sons trailed behind her. Yuan Tangzhong did not seem to be in a good mental state. Nheless, this experienced man carried himself with apelling air. He had a good rtionship with most of the government officials who were in attendance today. Yuan Zhe was gone, but Yuan Tangzhongs influence still remained. Grand banquets like this had always been used as a field for a politician to measure the influence of his tactic with others. Yuan Xuan observed the people who were here today. He noticed that there were several important figures among the loyal supporters of his second uncles political party. This event is certainlyvish. It looks like that old man had certainly been expanding his influence these past few years. Shao Yibai managed to make these inferences. He raised his ss and smiled when he told Yuan Xuan his thoughts. Yuan Xuans face gave nothing away, and he did not attempt to make anyment either. The atmosphere about his person was gloomy, and his expression murderous. The mans gaze was prating and fiery. Yuan Tangzhongs path to sess was thwarted, and his age has be another major obstacle he can never ovee. He probably needs to sacrifice a lot if he still wishes to climb higher in this social circle. This is why hes frantically roping in other powerful individuals. Yuan Xuan nced at the guests as he spoke. Several officials from other parts of the country had decided to attend this banquet as well. Perhaps the Yuan Family still looked like a formidable force to the outsiders. Everyone probably thought that if they had chosen to give it all they had to support the right family, they somehow would be able to sleep better at night. However, they did not know that phenomenon like this would end soon after it began. The Yuan Family had appointed Yuan Zhuan to be the host of this banquet. Now that Yuan Zhe had passed away, Yuan Zhuan had represented the Yuan Family and made the opening remarks as one of the young men among the grandchildren. Yuan Zhuan wanted to let Yuan Xuan take his ce on stage because he was indifferent toward this event, but Yuan Xuan had rejected his offer. The Yuan Family has always emphasized the need for the juniors to respect our seniors. You should be the one up there since youre my older brother. Theres shouldnt be any talk about letting others do it. Yuan Zhuan had no choice but to agree. His opening remarks merely consisted of amicable greetings and titudes. He left the important content to Yuan Tangzhong. Yuan Zhuan passed the microphone to Yuan Tangzhong once he finished speaking. The hall quieted down. Yuan Tangzhong was dressed in Chinese-styled formal attire. He had an impressive bearing and looked like an awe-inspiring individual who was calm and serene. One could not see that he was suffering from the lost of his son. Although he had gone through painful events in the past, this experienced man was able to disy a different side of himself during this asion. He could endure more things than the average person. Yuan Tangzhong had perfect mastery with his words during this auction event that was part of the Yuan Familys banquet. His passionate speech was invigorating and had made him into a kind phnthropist who was constantly in touch with the people. Yuan Zhuan hosted the auction when it started. As most of their guests were prestigious individuals and the primary objective of the event was to raise funds for charity, the items that were up for auction were all bought almost immediately. They had managed to raise 50 million worth of funds. The amount had exceeded their expectations. The guests were very pleased with the theme of the banquet this time because they could donate money to charity while also getting an item they liked at the same time. The Yuan Family had also managed to show off a bit since as they had brought the most items out to be auctioned off. The funds were calcted and managed by the staff of a specialized charity organization. Yuan Tangzhong was ready to say his closing remarks and conclude the auction. He had just stepped onto the stage when someone yelled at him from below. Fake phnthropist! Im going to expose your shameless deeds so that everyone can see your true nature! The venue turned deadly silent, and everyone in the crowd was shocked. They shifted their attention to the source of the voice. They saw Wen Youquan charging forward before he jumped on stage and angrily red at Yuan Tangzhong. He snarled, Yuan Tangzhong, Ive waited a long time for this day. Im going to take this opportunity to let the whole of Luo Hai know how ugly you truly are! Mu Chenyan hurriedly searched for Wen Ya when she saw Wen Youquan rush forward and confront Yuan Tangzhong on stage. She saw that Wen Ya was ghastly pale. She waspletely terrified by this scene. Mu Chenyan darted over and held Wen Ya who stood there feebly. She quietly asked, Whats going on? Wen Yas entire body trembled violently. Her lips quivered but no noise escaped them. Mu Chenyan noticed the indifferent look in Yuan Xuans eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, but they did not seem bothered. The corners of his lips turned downward as he red at Yuan Tangzhong who was forcing himself to remain calm amidst the chaos on the stage. None of the security personnel came forward to pull Wen Youquan off the stage. Mu Chenyan realized then that Yuan Xuan was not stopping him on purpose. Yuan Tangzhong, youre a shameless person, toying with women like that. I came here today to show everyone the real nature of a fake phnthropist like you! The crowd burst into an uproar. Did he really fool around with other women? This information was a bit too unbelievable. What is this nonsense? Yuan Tangzhong demanded. Nonsense? Wen Youquan smirked. This downtrodden entrepreneur let out a strange sneer. He waved the folder he had in his hand and announced, Four years ago, you had coborated with others to frame the Wen Family. You took the opportunity to threaten me when I took Wen Ya to the banquet. After that, you drugged my daughter and raped her. This is the proof! What? The crowd was shocked! Yuan Tangzhongs face turned pale instantly. Below the stage, Wen Yas body turned limp when she heard this. Fortunately, Mu Chenyan caught her just in time. She shifted her gaze to her father at once and held her breath, unable to make a sound. All she could do was pointing a trembling finger at Wen Youquan. On the other side, Yuan Xuan had noticed that Wen Ya was acting strangely. Several servants came over to help Mu Chenyan support Wen Ya. You made that up! Thats nonsense! Hurry up and get this maniac off the stage! Yuan Tangzhong finally reacted. He jabbed an angry finger at Wen Youquan. Their rtionship had be extremely awkward with what had happened just now. They were originally rtives by marriage, but now Wen Youquan had suddenly came forward and used Yuan Tangzhong of drugging and raping his daughter-inw... Wen Youquan snickered. He noticed that none of the security personnel around them hade over. He became more arrogant when he realized that Yuan Tangzhong was isted and cut off from help. The crowd below the stage wanted to hear what he was going to say next. Wen Youquan took something out of his document pouch to hit the final nail on Yuan Tangzhongs coffin. There were photos taken probably about four years ago. They showed several people forcing Wen Ya to drink the alcohol served during the banquet... Another photo showed the father and son of the Yuan Family carrying Wen Ya to the hotels VIP presidential suite... Although there were no pictures of them in bed, these photos were enough to cause everyones imagination to roam. Everyone was dumbfounded by this revtion. The crowd descended into chaos, but they had yet to realize how this issue actually started. Yuan Tangzhong had trouble believing these photos when he saw them. He said in a quivering voice, What is that? Proof? You must be joking! Your daughter desired the Yuan Familys power and slept with Yuan Zhe on her own will. After that, she forced him to marry her because she was pregnant! Yuan Zhe was a single man, and those two young people were merely having a good time together. Both of them did it willingly. Why are you trying to insist that she was raped? The Yuan Family also took responsibility when we discovered that Wen Ya was pregnant. Yuan Zhe even married Wen Ya, but her irresponsibility made her lost the child... Everyone thought that Yuan Tangzongs retort was somewhat a reasonable one. It was very likely that Wen Ya would leap at the chance to sleep with Yuan Zhe because the Yuan Family was influential. Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe were married, but Yuan Zhe was now dead. This made Wen Youquans argument earlier seemed like he was looking for an opportunity to extort money from his inws. Wen Youquan stared at Yuan Tangzhong. It was not surprising that one of Luo Hais important politicians like himself coulde up with such excuses. He had a clear train of thought and the calmest mind. I knew that you wouldnt admit it. Thats why I made preparations in advance! Wen Youquan continued to expose the other man. There are two DNA test reports here. One reportpared your DNA to the baby that Wen Ya miscarried while the other one tested the DNA of Yuan Zhe and that child! If you dont understand, Ill read it out for you! Wen Ya noticed the strange smile on Wen Youquans face. He looked at Yuan Tangzhong and sneered, When Wen Ya got pregnant that year, the one who fathered her baby was you! It seemed as though a heavy bomb hadnded and detonated itself in the middle of the crowd. This was earth-shattering news! This appalling incident had actually urred in the Yuan household. The father and his son were basically so immoral that they took turns with the same woman. The guests consisted of important societal figures and some politicians. They did not have the clearest consciences, but none of them would ever stoop as low as him. The crowd became restless as everyone began to discuss about what they had just heard. This was an outrageous scandal! Yuan Tangzhongs trusted advisors were stupefied as well. They stood frozen in shock. Everything had happened in such an abrupt manner. Everything had happened in such a short period of time but had developed in a direction that they could not control. The Old Mistress watched everything unravel from the sidelines. She could not make heads or tails of this... No! The breath of air that Wen Ya had held in her chest finally escaped and rushed through her throat. The terribly weak woman let out a miserable howl of grief before she fainted. Wen Ya never realized that her father was so evil. Four years ago, he had pushed her into the pits of hell. She had to endure Yuan Zhes torture since then and had spent half of her life being miserable. Today, her father had actually revealed all of these humiliating incidents about her to everyone, not caring about the bond they shared as father and daughter at all! Chills ran down Mu Chenyans spine when she finally took in what her father had said. One of the servants supported Wen Ya and took her to a sofa on the side while Mu Chenyan held her tightly. She sobbed and said, How could they be so cruel? All of you are so inhumane. Wen Ya is innocent... Her eyes fell on Yuan Xuan, Yuan Zhuan, and Yuan Tangzhong. The men in the Yuan Family made her feel sick! Wen Ya had been used as cannon fodder and a chess piece in this conflict of theirs. If it was not for his supporters, Wen Youquan would never have dared to disturb the Yuan Familys banquet, much less to point out Yuan Tangzhongs shorings openly. Mu Chenyan felt miserable.

Chapter 329: Id Rather Kill Myself Than Hurt You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This incident was destined to be the most sensational news in Luo Hai this year. It was also the biggest scandal! From the sidelines, Xue Meiwei heard everything clearly. She had known that Yuan Zhe had fooled around with the Wen Familys daughter at that time. That woman came to their house when she discovered that she was pregnant. After that, the Old Mistress and Yuan Tangzhong took responsibility by forcing Yuan Zhe to marry Wen Ya. She had never expected that it was actually a scandalous affair! That man and his son had messed around with the same woman. She was betrayed twice over. Her husband had betrayed her, and so had her son... You shameless man! Xue Meiwei responded by rushing on stage immediately. She did not care about anyone elses opinions. She had lost all sense of reason and repeatedly hit Yuan Tangzhong. She hadpletely abandoned her elegant demeanor as a nobledy. Yuan Tangzhong blocked off her blows. He wailed frantically, You stupid woman. Ill exin... Ill exin when we get home... Youre disgusting! You even forced our son to marry that woman... Xue Meiwei realized that she was the only person in this household who was left in the dark. She could not help herself from being blinded by rage. Dont listen to his lies. I only slept with her once. How could she get pregnant... The crowd burst into an uproar. Xue Meiwei murmured, You... You really... Ive had it with you. She rushed forward and scratched her husband while shrieking. It was a chaotic scene. Yuan Tangzhong was consumed by anxiety when he realized that he had blurted out a secret. Xue Meiwei attacked him while the crowd gossiped below the stage. The man was normally an arrogant person who towered over others, but he suddenly felt as though he had fallen into a bottomless pit... He caught a glimpse of Yuan Xuans unaffected gaze and indifferent expression while he was panicking. He noticed that neither the security personnel nor his servants came to his aid during this crisis. Even hisrades from political circles ignored him. Suddenly, he realized what was going on. You ungrateful boy! Youve finally made your move... Suddenly, Yuan Tangzhong spat out a mouthful of blood that sttered in the distance! His gaze was filled with fury and rage when he raised his head. He yelled, I shouldve gotten rid of you a long time ago... You wouldnt have been able to see me like this today... Everyones eyes darted toward Yuan Xuan when Yuan Tangzhongs gazended on him. The young sessor was another extremely powerful individual in the Yuan Family Mansion. He was currently ring at his uncle coldly. Yuan Tangzhong had a glorious past, but he was now in a miserable position. This powerful man had suffered a heavy blow in front of the young and old generations of Luo Hais aristocratic families, and even his own friends and rtives. He widened his eyes and took several steps backwards. Suddenly, he tripped and tumbled painfully off the stage. The stage was not very high, it was less than half a meter tall. It was merely two tforms that were stacked on top of each other. However, Yuan Tangzhong did not get up immediately after he fell. Heid there face-down, his body did not make a single movement. Xue Meiwei stood on the sidelines in a daze. When she saw her husband like this, she stopped being unreasonable and abandoned her desire to make a scene. She shrieked, Help! The Old Master... The Old Master has fainted! The Old Mistress stared nkly and remained frozen in ce for a long time. She returned to her senses when she heard her daughter-inw shouting. She frantically grabbed Yuan Tangshuo. Go and check on your brother quickly... Yuan Tangshuo did not react to the unexpected incident immediately. He knew that Yuan Xuan was not on good terms with his second uncle, but he had never expected that the situation would escte to this extent. Yuan Tangshuo rushed over and held Yuan Tangzhong. At the moment, the mans expression was nk while his gaze was focused on one spot. His mind seemed fuzzy and his breathing was uneven. Second brother! Naturally, Yuan Tangshuo understood that his brother had suffered a stroke. He yelled loudly, but Yuan Tangzhong did not react at all. Xue Meiwei had trouble breathing while she stood on the side. She deeply regretted her previous actions. Tangzhong, this cant be happening. What am I going to do if you die... Xue Meiwei wept mournfully. The guests who were watching the situation unfold quickly took their cellphones out and called the ambnce. It was no surprise that the crowd was still stunned. After all, this turn of events had urred within a short span of ten minutes. Everyone only realized the severity of the situation when Yuan Tangzhong fell andnded head-first below the stage. Yuan Tian rushed over. She ignored the fact that she was wearing a cocktail dress and simply bent down. She opened Yuan Tangzhongs eyelids before she turned to her father and said, Father, second uncle had a stroke. Lets send him to the hospital quickly! The ambnce arrived in a sh. They were lucky that the Military Hospital was very close to the area. Most of the guests were cleared out from the venue shortly before after Yuan Tangzhong was taken away. Wen Ya became clear-headed after Mu Chenyan took care of her. Wen Yaid on the bed in the lounge. Her entire body was freezing despite being covered by a nket. Wen Ya shuddered. Mu Chenyan ran over the moment she noticed. Mu Chenyans eyes were slightly swollen and her voice was hoarse. She asked, How do you feel? Wen Ya wanted to say, I feel like dying! However, she swallowed her words just as they were about to leave her mouth. She had no right to die. She was merely a walking corpse now. Wen Ya, dont be afraid. Youre the victim in this situation. You have to stay strong even if the Yuan Family doesnt give you justice. Ill fight for you! Mu Chenyan choked back sobs as she spoke. The Yuan Family had tyrannized her. These people were truly immoral. Mu Chenyan thought of the injustices that she and Wen Ya faced, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She could not stop hating the Yuan Family when she realized their true nature. They were essentially using their power to abuse others. Wen Ya shut her eyes as tears trickled down their corners. Mu Chenyans palm was cold andpletely devoid of warmth when she held her hand. Chenyan, thank you... But getting justice wont change anything. How am I going to keep living and face the rest of the world? Wen Ya was clearly hiding a lot of grief while she cried. Mu Chenyans heart shattered when she saw this. She stroked Wen Yas forehead and murmured, Yuan Tangzhong was just taken to the hospital because he suffered a stroke. Additionally, Yuan Zhe is dead! The viins have been punished. Wen Ya, you must stay strong. None of this is your fault! Wen Ya forced a smile when she heard this conclusion. She mumbled dispiritedly, I knew long ago that Yuan Zhe wasnt the father of that child... I saw Yuan Zhes medical checkup report by ident. His sperm count was very low. I did some research online and discovered that it was difficult to get pregnant in situations like these. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhe was an arrogant man who never considered that an issue... A miserable smirk appeared on Wen Yas face when she said that. Mu Chenyan was shocked. She assumed that Wen Ya had only discovered today that Yuan Zhe had not fathered her child. Shadows of hatred stirred in the bottom of Wen Yas heart. She continued, Yuan Tangzhong probably knew about Yuan Zhes health problems beforehand. Thats why... He... Forced Yuan Zhe to marry me and keep the baby... Wen Ya was overwhelmed by a feeling of nausea. Her stomach turned every time she recalled this issue. Wen Ya shoved Mu Chenyan away before she crouched on the ground and heaved. This was a torturous mental illness. Mu Chenyan was frightened. She held Wen Yas shoulders tightly and tearfully said, Its all over. Your nightmare has ended! After much difficulty, Wen Ya managed to calm down. She leaned against the side of the bed and got up. A strange enlightened look suddenly appeared on her deathly pale face. My nightmare has ended, but the pain still remains. Chenyan, do you think that the Yuan Familys second son ispletely ruined? Wen Ya seemed to be anticipating something. Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya wanted her to personally confirm this matter. Mu Chenyan nodded. She replied, Yes. Wen Ya was momentarily distracted. Suddenly, she closed her eyes. Ive seen the ending that I yearned for! Mu Chenyan did not know what she meant. Unexpectedly, Wen Yas head smashed against the wall! Mu Chenyans heart was filled with sorrow when she saw that Wen Ya was determined to die while she was right next to her. She instinctively reached out her hand to desperately try and pull Wen Ya back. Mu Chenyan tried to pull her backwards, but Wen Yas head violently bashed against the wall... * Hibiscus Garden Mu Chenyan dragged her exhausted body back home. She looked around miserably. Her heart was filled with sorrow. Wen Ya had barely escaped the clutches of death, but her beautiful forehead was marred by five stitches. Mu Chenyans emotions had been deeply stirred when she witnessed her old friends suffering. She did not sleep until Yuan Xuan returned at night. The mans body was chilly. He went to take a shower and change his clothes before he crawled into bed. Yuan Xuan sighed in relief when he held the delicate and beautiful woman in his arms. Mu Chenyan opened her eyes when she felt the mans breath against her back. She got up and turned on the tablemp before she red angrily at him. Yuan Xuans strategy had certainly turned out well! Why arent you asleep? Yuan Xuan reached out to pull her toward him. However, he had not expected that Mu Chenyan would push his hand away and avoid his affections. The woman muttered, Yuan Xuan, you gave Wen Youquan that information! Mu Chenyan stated this as a matter of fact. She was not asking him a question. Wen Youquan was a greedy and shameless man by nature. He would not have waited until today if he had that information all this time. He would surely have used it to threaten the Yuan Familys second son long ago. Everything had been carefully nned over the course of three to four years. As this spanned over such a long period of time, it was enough to prove that Yuan Xuan had a dark and terribly cunning mind. He made the necessary preparations, concealed his strength, and bided his time for several years so that he could ensure Yuan Tangzhongs downfall. However, Mu Chenyan had not expected that he wouldpletely overlook Wen Yas fate when both the Yuan Familys second son and the Wen Family were in the palm of his hand. Would you be able to live with yourself if Wen Ya had died tonight? Mu Chenyan openly med him. Yuan Xuan did not try to lie to her. Traces of leftover bloodlust shed in his dark pupils. Suddenly, he reached out and embraced Mu Chenyan before he pushed her down against therge bed. Our fate is predestined. I merely used the truth to my advantage. Wen Yas fate would have remained the same even if tonights incident didnt ur. I wasnt the one who made her suffer! Mu Chenyan struggled vigorously when she heard this, but the man was holding both of her arms down. She red at Yuan Xuans face that was inches from her own. He suddenly seemed unfamiliar and cold-blooded. Let go! Yuan Xuan tightened his grip. He pressed his body against the womans supple and sweet-smelling skin. Their bodies rubbed against each other as she frantically struggled. Yuan Xuan gulped before his hoarse voice grew deeper. Little Chenyan, I know that you feel sorry for Wen Ya, but Im just being honest. Im not the cause of her suffering. However, Ill admit that I used this conclusion to benefit myself. Illpensate Wen Ya in full for everything that the Yuan Family owes her. Please dont be angry, okay? Mu Chenyan turned her face away. She choked back sobs and murmured, I know that you werent the one who harmed her, but I cant just let this go... Mu Chenyan was speechless at the thought of Wen Ya lying in the hospital. Yuan Xuan pressed his forehead against hers while the tips of their noses touched. You and I are mere mortals. We cant relieve anyone of their suffering. The only person that Ive disappointed right now is you. Im going to spend the rest of my life taking good care of you! Yuan Xuans breath scrambled Mu Chenyans thoughts. When she moved her arms, Yuan Xuan realized that he was holding her too tightly. He hurriedly loosened his grip. Mu Chenyans arms were wrapped around his neck. Yuan Xuans entire body trembled when she pressed her warm lips against his Adams apple and corbone. He lowered his head and met her starry eyes. Yuan Xuan, youre too cruel to your enemies. What would you do if I became your enemy one day... Id rather kill myself than hurt you! Chapter 330 - I’m Here to Tell You a Story

Chapter 330: Im Here to Tell You a Story

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Luo Hai was hit by a storm as autumn steadily progressed. Traces of cold air seeped through the white window frames and entered the hospital. Wen Ya had recently endured a hellish experience, but there was a faint smile on her face. Yuan Tangzhongy on the hospital bed on the opposite side of her. He managed to survive after undergoing an emergency operation thatsted 14 hours. Are you still alive? murmured Wen Ya. Her forehead was bandaged with gauze. She wore a striped hospital gown that was identical to his. Her abnormally paleplexion made it look as though she had just returned from the underworld. The bedridden man could only move his eyes while the rest of his body was rendered motionless. He stared at Wen Ya. I was really worried that you were dead. I wouldnt be able to tell you this if that was the case! Wen Ya moved a chair over and sat down. Her body was feeble and exhausted, but she was still iparably strong beneath the surface. Youre probably only alive today because you need to be punished! Wen Ya did not think that she was going too far. After all, she was the victim in this situation. Nevertheless, she still wanted to vent her anger. I bet youre wondering why I came over to speak to you. Well, Im here to tell you a story. Wen Ya spoke softly, but the smirk in the corners of her eyes was bone-piercingly cold. Xue Meiwei had returned home to rest as she had stayed up throughout the night. Additionally, Wen Ya had sent the young nurse away. The nurse assumed that there would be no problems since there were surveince cameras around. Three years ago, a young woman in the Zong He Psychiatric Sanatorium met an uncle from her foster family for the first time. This woman had led a miserable life. She was also suffering from a psychological disorder known as the Electraplex! Wen Ya shifted her gaze toward the man on the bed while she spoke. He was still conscious despite being paralysed. Wen Ya knew that Yuan Tangzhong understood her because his contracted pupils told her that he was terrified. The young woman was in love with her uncle. She didnt care about anything else. She was young, beautiful, and lively. Her lustful uncle couldnt resist her despite knowing that she was mentally ill. On the surface, he seemed like an extremely earnest political leader in Luo Hai. However, secretly he was a wolf in sheeps clothing. Wen Ya paused before she chuckled. Dont get riled up, father! Wen Ya yelled ironically. The bedridden mans breathing seemed more frantic now. He opened his lips while saliva trickled out. The woman slept with her uncle. She was ecstatic but also slightly afraid when she discovered that she was pregnant. She was happy because she assumed that the old man would marry her. However, she was also worried that other people would discover their improper rtionship! Of course, I was very much in awe of her uncle because he spared no effort to conceal everything. He hid the young woman in an expensive apartment once she was discharged from the mental hospital. This was the secret ce where they used to meet in private. In other words, he had bought an expensive home for his beloved mistress. Her uncle removed all the surveince cameras in this apartment to ensure their safety and privacy. He also wanted to prevent people from sneakily taking photos of him when he went to the apartment to meet with this woman in secret! However, the woman couldnt endure the loneliness. While she was pregnant, she met another woman whom she believed she could trust. She shared her worries with her new friend. Regrettably, her friend was actually her lovers daughter-inw! When Wen Ya said this, she felt grateful that they shared the same psychologist. Wen Ya had suffered a severe mental illness after she miscarried. At that time, Zhao Ruoxin who was pretending to be Shu Qinger had also been forced to visit a psychologist... Father, Im sure you already know who this story is about. Youve probably also realized that theres a reason why youre alive today. Am I right? A sense of irony was hidden behind Wen Yas bitter smile. As Yuan Tangzhongs pupils widened, the numbers on the heart rate monitor were thrown into chaos... Chapter 331 - Please Give Me Some of the Soil Under the Japanese Banana Tree

Chapter 331: Please Give Me Some of the Soil Under the Japanese Banana Tree

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Tangzhong had no control over his body, but his mind was still fully conscious. The traces of panic in the depths of his pupils showed the outside world that he was still alive. He heard Wen Ya clearly. His entire body shivered as a chill swept across him. Dont get worked up. Im not done with this story yet. Youll regret it if you die like this. Wen Ya saw the fear in Yuan Tangzhongs eyes. The corners of her lips turned downwards, but dimples appeared on her cheeks. No one noticed that there was something unusual about Zhao Ruoxin. They assumed that she was Shu Qinger all along. They thought that news of Yuan Xuans engagement had upset Qinger and made her distraught. They knew that she was acting strangely in many ways, but they didnt pay much attention to it. Frankly, I didnt think much of it either. However, Zhao Ruoxin fought with me when she discovered my identity. She invited me to her apartment the day before Yuan Xuans wedding and argued with me again. I dont know how she found out about the disgusting things that you did to me. She was naive and stupid enough to believe that I only got close to her to steal her lover... She yelled loudly to humiliate me. She wanted the whole world to know about our affair... Wen Ya suppressed her desire to retch while she said this. She had never met such a brainless woman. She felt likeughing when she thought of Zhao Ruoxin. That woman assumed that everyone else had an Electraplex like her. She truly believed that Wen Ya actually liked that perverted old man. She fell when I pushed her during our fight. When I saw the blood running down her thighs, I remembered my own condition when I miscarried in the past! Wen Yas face was pale while her fingertips were faintly trembling. She felt as though she was reliving a nightmare when she recalled that scene. I wanted to save her at first, but I was worried that she would stab me in the back if I helped her. I decided to flee instead. Wen Ya took a deep breath when she said this. She lifted her head and nced at Yuan Tangzhong. Her deep gaze wasced with resentment. If Im not wrong... It was you... You killed that woman. Am I right? The bedridden mans body trembled uncontrobly when Wen Ya arrived at that conclusion. It seemed like she had exposed his darkest secret, hidden in the depths of his heart. Yuan Tangzhongs reaction confirmed Wen Yas suspicions. The woman sneered. That foolish woman Zhao Ruoxin definitely did something that threatened your political position, right? Resentment manifested in Yuan Tangzhongs gaze. Wen Ya believed that he would leap up right now if he could. He would tell her that those who stood in his way would surely die. When you reached the apartment, you saw that Zhao Ruoxin was showing signs of a miscarriage. You were inspired by a malicious desire that told you to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of that woman. Although Yuan Tangzhong did not say anything when Wen Ya confronted him, Wen Ya gradually managed to confirm her theories by looking for clues in his gaze. I wouldnt feel sorry for a demon like you even if you died over ten thousand times! Wen Ya spat disdainfully. How could the heavens forgive him when everything had already been recorded? * Wen Ya was hospitalized for several days, but no one from the Wen household came to visit her. Frankly, they were too afraid to appear before her. Mu Chenyan visited Wen Ya in the hospital. She brought along chicken soup that Ah Fu cooked. Wen Yas forehead was bandaged. Her thin figure leaned against the railing in front of the window as she stared nkly into the distance. Mu Chenyan pushed open the door and entered. She muttered, Wen Ya? The woman turned her head. Her gaze was empty despite the numerous trials and tribtions that she had endured. Chenyan, why are you here again? Ill be discharged tomorrow. Wen Ya pulled a chair over and passed it to Mu Chenyan as she spoke. The food that Mu Chenyan brought was quickly ced on the little dining table. Wen Yas appetite had yet to return since the banquet. She barely ate anything while she had been hospitalized for the past few days. Frankly, she could not consume anything without feeling sick. However, she had finally regained some of her desire to eat when she saw the food that Mu Chenyan brought. Chenyan, I need to ask you for a small favor, murmured Wen Ya after they finished eating. Mu Chenyan leaned closer to her. Of course, Ill help you. Tell me what you need. Mu Chenyan did not know why she was being so loyal. Perhaps she was reminded of her previously helpless self when she saw Wen Ya now. The members of the Mu Family were not much kinder than those of the Wen Family. They had abandoned her when she was imprisoned for two years. Nheless, she was a benevolent person who never held any grudges against her brother and father after her release. They were her family! I left some things in Peace Mansion. Could you help me bring them over? I cant go back now. Xue Meiwei wont just let everything go if she sees me... A troubled expression showed on Wen Yas face as she spoke. Alright, Ill go back and get them for you. You just have to tell me what they are. The servant in Peace Mansion, Little Cui, was still there. She knew everything that was in the house. Wen Ya nodded and said, Ill give you a list soon. You can just take the things that are listed down. You dont have to worry because these are all my personal belongings. Im not going to touch a single thing that belongs to the Yuan Family. Mu Chenyan watched as Wen Ya meticulously wrote down the things she needed on a piece of paper. They simply consisted of several old diaries, autograph books, and certificates. Mu Chenyan carefully put away the list. She recalled how Wen Ya had previously advised her to think about her future before she left. Now that Wen Ya was leaving the Yuan Family, she stubbornly refused to take a single cent. Mu Chenyan nced at Wen Ya. She whispered, What are you nning to do after this? I told you that I was going to marry Zheng Shuyan. But I havent told him that yet, of course. Im worried that hell change his mind about me... Wen Ya quietly lowered her head as she spoke. I dont have anything now. I dont have any respect and Ive lost my dignity... Mu Chenyan held Wen Yas hand and stopped her from muttering. This isnt your fault. If I could, Id take you to see Zheng Shuyan! * Mu Chenyan did not go directly to Hibiscus Garden when she returned to the mansion. Instead, she went to Peace Mansion first. She knew that Xue Meiwei would be taking care of Yuan Tangzhong in the hospital now. This was the most convenient time to take Wen Yas belongings since their servant would be the only person at home. Mu Chenyan walked around the little garden and passed the fence below the veranda. She noticed that Peace Mansions courtyard looked bare. She recalled how this ce was once considered a status symbol. After all, Luo Hais most important individuals had lived here. Nheless, it looked remarkably miserable and dpidated now. Little Cui frantically ran over and weed Mu Chenyan when she saw her. She had no idea why she came to Peace Mansion. Third Young Mistress, may I help you? Mu Chenyan ryed Wen Yas instructions. Little Cui hurriedly took the list upstairs. Before she left, she remembered to serve Mu Chenyan a cup of tea. She said, Third Young Mistress, you can wait here. Ill go and get the Eldest Young Mistress things now. Mu Chenyan nodded. She sat on the bench on the porch and waited. The nts that grew in the little garden in the courtyard were evergreen trees that had green leaves all year round. Since Luo Hais climate was hot and damp, the trees still appeared lush in the autumn. The only w in this exquisite little garden was the tall Japanese banana tree with wilted leaves. Mu Chenyan still remembered this Japanese banana tree. She likeding here with Yuan Tian when they were still children. They would steal the banana leaves and use them as fans. Yuan Tian loved taking the leaves and pretending to be Princess Iron Fan. Meanwhile, she would force Mu Chenyan to be Bull Demon King or Red Boy... 1 This Japanese banana tree had been well taken care of for several years. She never expected that it would look like this today. Mu Chenyan got up and regretfully stroked the withered leaves on the tree. Just then, Little Cui came outside. She could not help but sigh when she saw Mu Chenyan leaning against the tree. It seems like nts have feelings just like humans. I think that this tree had deep affections. Mu Chenyan took the bundle from Little Cui. The things that Wen Ya wanted were all packed inside. This tree fell sick when the Eldest Young Mistress stopped returning after the Eldest Young Master was murdered. In the beginning, I carefully tended to it because I was worried that it would die. The Eldest Young Mistress really pampered this tree. I never imagined that it would die without her in the end. Little Cui sighed. Mu Chenyan turned to look at the tree upon hearing that. She quietly asked, Are you saying that this tree only fell sick recently? Little Cui nodded. Ya Na used to tend to the garden before she ran away. Additionally, the other servants in the house have been dismissed. Thats why Im taking care of it now. This tree was fine before this. It only started to wither after the Eldest Young Master met with that ident. I was too afraid to act on my own and uproot this tree because I havent seen the Eldest Young Mistress after all this time. I decided to just keep the wilted leaves here. Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up inside Mu Chenyans heart. She could neither exin nor understand it. She turned around and gazed at her surroundings. She asked, Were there other nts here originally? Little Cui looked over and pointed towards the surroundings of the Japanese banana tree. Yes, there were other nts here initially, but they got sick for some reason and withered to death. I pulled them out and threw them away. I just recently added soil here. Mu Chenyan felt a lump forming in her throat when she heard that. She turned around and instructed Little Cui, saying, Please give me some of the soil under the Japanese banana tree and put it in this bag. * Mu Chenyan took the bag of soil to Su Qingcheng. She needed her help to ask the people in the forensic department to do aboratory test on theposition of the soil. Su Qingcheng knew that something was wrong in the Yuan household. She could not help but feel curious when Mu Chenyan brought the bag of soil over. Currently, they need to doboratory tests on evidence from other cases. Where did you get this soil? Whats it for? I should let them know. Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyan shake her head when she said this. Qingcheng, I cant tell you that. Im just making a random guess. Please ask your colleagues from the forensic department to test it when they have time. They dont have to dy their usual work for this. Su Qingcheng decided to drop the subject when she realized that Mu Chenyan would not tell her the truth. Yuan Xuan was swamped with work during this period. Inevitably, he became anxious when he heard that Mu Chenyan had gone out for an entire day and had yet to return home. He called Mu Chenyan before he sent Yan Jun to pick her up. Recently, Yuan Xuan frequently left and came home at different times. Mu Chenyan did not know what was keeping him busy. Hibiscus Garden was extremely quiet at night. Yuan Xuan did note home for dinner while Mu Chenyan only ate a small amount. Yuan Xuan had taken the cats away. An expert told him that it was inadvisable to let pregnant womene into contact with pets because they could easily be infected with parasites. The two little innocent creatures were temporarily entrusted to Yuan Tian in Tranquility Mansion. The two creatures gazed pitifully at Mu Chenyan before they were sent away. The image still lingered in her mind. Little Ginger Fur Ball whined, Meow meow, Ill miss you, mommy... Briquet seemed to say, Meow meow, were innocent. Damn expert... Mu Chenyan crawled into bed early and went to sleep because there was nothing to entertain her. She managed to sleep well tonight. However, she had no idea that her brother, Mu Chenwu, and Yuan Xuan were engaged in a life-or-death battle in the waters of the South China Sea... Chapter 332 - The Winners Act like Kings While the Losers Pay for Their Sins

Chapter 332: The Winners Act like Kings While the Losers Pay for Their Sins

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenwu discovered that Yuan Tangzhong had met with disaster during the Yuan Familys banquet. He realized that he would be the next one to suffer tragedy if he did not take action now. He had gathered almost a thousand of his subordinates. They consisted of the scum of society, such as criminals. This massive but secret contingent was based in the construction site in Green Smoke Mountain that was used to n battles. They would be easily discovered if their operations and goals were too grand. They avoided being captured by Yuan Xuan because the Yuan Familys second son had been protecting them before this. Now that they lost their shield, hiding here was no different than waiting for death. Shao Yibai brought elite soldiers from Capital City along with several other men. These men apanied him to ride horses and engage in shooting practice when he was bored. They were stationed near the Yuan Family Mansion. After all, Yuan Xuan spared no effort when setting up the mansions defenses. It was impossible to prate the perimeter because there were numerous hidden lookouts there. Mu Chenwus target and primary focus was Yuan Xuans oil field in the South China Sea. Most of the Yuan Familys financial and material resources were concentrated there. This was a national project. If Yuan Xuan lost this tform, it would be impossible for him to turn the tide in Luo Hai, much less Country Z. Mu Chenwu enlisted all of his forces from the very start. He had set his sights on the ships that belonged to the South China Sea Oil Field and the Yuan Family that were entering and leaving the port. However, Yuan Xuan had meticulously thought this through. He marked the routes of his ships, such as when they entered and left the ports, as ssified information concerning his business. This showed how much he valued that oil field. Obviously, Mu Chenyan was unaware of this. Unfortunately, Mu Chenwu had previously wasted a lot of time poring over the file that had given him. ... The first light of dawn appeared in the east. The silent port stirred as the cold early morning breeze blew past. The surface of the sea and the sky were the exact same shade. Shen Muqiu watched as the helmsman adjusted the ships heading as it sailed forward. The manzilyid down on the deck and gazed at the seagulls in the sky that were chasing the ship. He poured himself a ss of red wine while crossing his legs. The sky felt like a warm nket while the world was so quiet that he felt like thest person on earth. Days like these were truly the best. Shen Muqiu squinted when he recalled how easily the fleet that was used for military andmercial purposes had been dispatched. The Yuan Family were the only ones in Luo Hai who could do this as they pleased. Shen Muqiu had a dream when he was younger. He wanted to sail a yacht and find a route that would allow him to explore uninhabited inds. However, he could not find the location of these uninhabited inds. He also needed a highly experienced crew that could sail a sturdy and strong seafaring ship to maneuver past the numerous undercurrents. In the end, the dream that he had in his youth was dyed day after day. Nheless, his restless nature never changed. Ennd was one of the oldest nations known for its sea voyages. When Shen Muqiu was exiled overseas for several years, he learned numerous sailing techniques and maritime battle tactics while he was in Ennd. Mr Shen, are you sure that Mu Chenwu will proceed from this route? The captain had spent several days with Shen Muqiu at sea, but he had no idea what Third Young Master Yuans friend was waiting for. The fleet that Shen Muqiu led consisted of four light ships of medium tonnage and two great ships ofrge tonnage. The advanced configuration of the weapons allowed these six ships to resemble normal trading vessels while being able to instantly transform when needed. They formed a small-scale ambush fleet. They were a formidable force that could take down multiple enemies at a time. I dont know. Shen Muqiu swirled the wine in his ss and smiled as he spoke. The captain was speechless. Yuan Xuan had ced the fleet on standby for the past few days. However, he had not mentioned when they wouldunch their attack, nor had he informed them of the exact location. The Young Master of the Shen Family seemed to be taking them sightseeing around the massive South China Sea. When were they going to act? The captain watched as Shen Muqiu leisurely sipped his wine and watched the sky. A sense of gloominess could not help but stir in his heart. ... Shen Muqiu observed the sea through his binocrs for some time. He finally saw four seafaring vessels marked by blue gulls. These ships were slowly travelling along the designated route. The man turned over like a carp before he leaped up. He waved at the captain and whispered, Go after those four Blue Gulls! Our six ships will circle the perimeter. Follow the instructions and formations that I mentioned earlier. Dont get too close to avoid being discovered. There were almost one hundred crew members on each ship that Shen Muqiu led. Some of them were elites that he had brought with him, while the rest were highly experienced and battle-hardened sailors that Yuan Xuan had allocated to him. The group of men gathered in one ce. When they heard that they were to move out immediately, they could not help but roll up their sleeves in anticipation of the battle. These two ships looked like normal trading vessels, but they would never meet the requirements for maritime vessels if they were steered in the regr channels. They moved extremely slowly and needed to be sailed cautiously. It was no surprise that Shen Muqiu seemed unenthusiastic earlier and only now did he appear excited. They used satellite phones tomunicate at sea. Yuan Xuan was in a helicopter that was about to take off at the airport near the dock. He was about to meet his wise and resourceful brother-inw whom he spent two whole years pursuing throughout Luo Hai... ... Mu Chenwus ship had not encountered any obstacles after sailing for almost an hour. He could not help but feel slightly excited. He had made the necessary arrangements at the port. A ship that was carrying two containers of specialized fire bricks woulde into close contact with the Yuan Familys oil field fleet before they docked... When the moment arrived, everyone in Luo Hai would discover that the Yuan Family was unable to manage their fleets properly. This error would lead to an explosion at the South China Sea port when their fleet collided with another ship... He needed to know the specific uses, schedules, routes, and rules for all Zhong Heng Internationals ships that entered and left the port. ... On the offshore tform, he would personally direct the group, including the four trading vessels that hade prepared. He wanted to ensure that the Yuan Family of Luo Hai would never rise again. He was going to destroy Yuan Xuans economic lifeline to do that. Aside from the Yuan Family, the Shao Family of Capital City was also involved with this oil field. Young Master, several medium-sized cargo ships have been following us this whole time. Ive had a constant uneasy feeling throughout this operation. Why must youe along? You should just wait at the coast for us to give you the news! The butler who had apanied Mu Feng for many years could notprehend Mu Chenwus insane behavior. They were going up against the Yuan Family, but there was no need for Mu Chenwu to personally attend to this matter. Nheless, his young master seemed overly persistent. Uncle Li, you dont understand. This is a contest between me and Yuan Xuan! A malicious aura enveloped Mu Chenwus entire body while his sinister eyes gazed at the surface of the water where the sky and the sea met. The stormy sea tossed about forming turbulent waves. The man sneered. I could use the Mu Familys remaining riches to hide in a city where no one knew me. Id be able to drift along and live a meaningless life for the rest of my days. However, I wouldnt be satisfied with a life like that. Do you understand? The old butler had spent many years by Mu Fengs side. He had lived through the Mu Familys glory days and their tragic downfall. The young mistress was locked up in prison while her mother fell into aa due to a car ident. Mu Chenwu had frantically escaped with Mu Feng and they hid in various ces for over half a year. Mu Feng was diagnosed with cancer, but he could only treat himself while they hid in the construction site. He was basically waiting to die. These bleak circumstances created numerous issues with Mu Chenwus mental state. As a result, he had gone mad. Mu Chenwus energy waspletely focused on vengeance for thest few years. On one hand, the second son of the Yuan Family gave them support because he wanted to scare Yuan Xuan and limit his influence. On the other hand, Yuan Tangzhong was too afraid to challenge Yuan Xuan directly. Although Yuan Xuan was a businessman, he was backed by a powerful military force. Thus, he decided to enlist the Mu Familys help to destroy Yuan Xuan. Unfortunately, Yuan Tangzhongs wishful thinking did not yield positive results and in the end, they were forced to retreat. You could probablyplete the task without me. In the worst-case scenario, all of us will die at sea today, but Im not going to retreat. As long as Im alive, I will see the Yuan Family ruined. If Im going to die, its not going to be while Im hiding in a corner miserably! A sinister smile appeared on Mu Chenwus face as he spoke. The old butler sighed. He turned around and nced at the crew. There were three ships here that were carrying specialized fire bricks. They were going to blow up the three offshore tforms of the Yuan Familys oil fields... ... Shen Muqius fleet trailed them for some time. As they grew closer to the drilling tforms in the South China Sea, the three ships began to go their separate ways as they sailed towards the three tforms. Shen Muqiu was certain that these were Mu Chenwus ships. The corners of his lips curled upward before a smirk appeared on his face. Yuan Xuans predictions were not far off the mark. It looked like that man was truly skilled at tactics. Shen Muqiu was slightly disappointed when he saw the condition of those ships. You might have experience withnd battles, but theres a lot of room for improvement when ites to the sea. I thought that we were going to have a huge fight, but those just look like toys. This is boring! Shen Muqiu instructed the captain to follow the previous orders and intercept the three ships that definitely carried explosives. He told him to attack and sink those ships immediately if their enemies tried to resist. Gunpowder smoke rapidly filled the air between the ten ships at sea when the battle cry rang out. Shen Muqius fleet gave the signal to order the Blue Gull ships to stop. Mu Chenwu never expected that Yuan Xuan would have thought of this strategy long ago. He assumed that his movements were highly secretive. Since Yuan Xuan had transferred Shao Yibai back to Capital City to deal with Yuan Tangzhongs remaining allies, the person who wasmanding the fleet to ambush him here was definitely one of Yuan Xuans forces from abroad. Mu Chenwu remembered that he had previously shed with this force in Luo Hai several times. Despite his fathers vast experience withnd battles, he could not gain the upper hand. It would be useless for him to panic if they met again today. If he died now, he would make sure that was an honorable death. He instructed his subordinates, saying, Dont waste your time talking to them. Use the mortars to attack! The old butler trembled with terror when he heard this. Their opponents would surely return fire if they started attacking first. Worse still, their ships were carrying highly explosive fire bricks... Young Master, youre fighting against overwhelming odds! The old butler could tell that the situation was far from reassuring. Their movements had been exposed and their opponents were clearly well prepared. You should leave with the people on this ship first. Ill stay behind andmand the others. The old butler wanted to ensure that the Mu Familys lineage continued. He would do whatever it took to protect his masters only son and heir. Mu Chenwuughed maniacally. Yuan Xuan might be in a rush to kill me, but Im not afraid of him because I have a trick up my sleeve. Im going to drag Mu Chenyan down so that shell be buried with me! When Shen Muqius fleet gave their signal, his opponent returned the gesture by firing a mortar... That motherf*cker actually fired first! Get him. Dont hold back! Dull blue light seeped through the surface of the murky sea water during thiste autumn day. The two fleets engaged in a fierce battle for an hour. In the end, they managed to sink two of Mu Chenwus Blue Gulls and two of Shen Muqius medium-sized ships were significantly damaged. The other Blue Gull ship filled with fire bricks gave up during the battle. They raised their white g and surrendered. Shen Muqius fleet managed to quickly surround the ship Mu Chenwu was using to lead the voyage. Mr Mu, put your weapons down and surrender immediately. Third Young Master Yuan has been waiting for you at the tform for quite some time! Shen Muqiu used a wireless megaphone to ry his message to the Blue Gull. Mu Chenwu sneered, The winners act like kings while the losers pay for their sins. Please lead the way! Chapter 333 - You Still Loved Mu Chenyan Despite Knowing Her True Identity

Chapter 333: You Still Loved Mu Chenyan Despite Knowing Her True Identity

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shen Muqiu loved fighting. However, he was very disappointed with this battle at sea because it had been easily resolved in slightly more than an hour. Mu Chenwus navalbat abilities were extremely poor. Yuan Xuan had been monitoring his fleet for a long time. Although it seemed like the fleet led by Shen Muqiu was simply leisurely sailing around for several days, in truth, he was waiting for an opportunity to strike. Mu Chenwu was as cunning as a fox onnd. Yuan Xuan had wasted a lot of energy trying to ambush him over the course of two years. However, Mu Chenwu had lost hisndbat advantage because he was at sea today. He resembled a downtrodden person who was prepared to get violently beaten up at any moment! Yuan Xuan had clearly done an excellent job giving Mu Chenwu a taste of his own medicine. Yuan Xuans helicopternded on thending pad on the oil fields drilling tform. The man momentarily pondered when he heard that the sea battle was over. A sharp look that revealed his dashing spirit appeared on his handsome face. In a deep voice, he said, Get Mu Chenwus ship to shore! Yan Jun looked anxious. Growing up in a peaceful era meant that he had never experienced war. He felt a lump in his throat when the two sides exchanged gunfire. On the contrary, Third Young Master Yuan seemed very calm during this violent conflict. Yan Jun could not help but be impressed by him. Lets go. The mans voice sounded detached andpletely devoid of warmth. We should go to the coast and have the honor of weing Mr Mu! The trading vessels and the Blue Gull ship were surrounded by a massive fleet. Shen Muqius crew members had jumped on the Blue Gulls deck. They had started to seize control of the other sides forces. The Blue Gulls sailors had never undergone specialized training to do battle at sea. They watched as theirrades onboard the other two ships died when their vessel sank to the bottom of the sea. After the ambushed, they noticed that the other crew was brimming with energy. This group of elite soldiers who were used to battling onnd realized that they werepletely helpless. As the crew gathered on deck, their faces were ghastly pale from fright. From the east, the first rays of red light appeared in the sky. The sun was starting to rise behind the dense rosy clouds. Mu Chenwu realized that the situation was helpless when he saw how well prepared the Yuan Familys fleet was. He shut his eyes and felt the bone-piercingly cold sea breeze. His mind felt perfectly clear while he listened to the seabirds lively cries. The excitement and panic that were previously there had vanished. He had anticipated this conclusion long ago. Mr Mu, Im sorry to interrupt your trip. I havent seen you in a long time. Ive missed you! There was a condescending expression on the mans face while his voice was calm and melodious. A faint smile lingered in the corners of his lips. Mu Chenwu watched as Yuan Xuans attractive face became clearer through the sea breeze. It seemed like many things had changed. Third Young Master Yuan, I bet youve been well since we parted! This was the first direct confrontation between Mu Chenwu and Yuan Xuan in two years. Although their battles were nned in secret, these two men had been openly fighting each for a long time. This encounter did not feel sudden. Rather, it seemed like it was long overdue. Yuan Xuan detected the bloodthirsty aura that enveloped Mu Chenwus entire body. Yuan Xuan could not help but quietlyugh when he noticed that Mu Chenwu still appeared perverse and ruthless in this situation. Mu Chenwu, you still look so calm despite being at deaths door. Im very impressed by your attitude! Mu Chenwu leisurely walked up the steps to reach the tform. As these two men who were of simr heights came into close contact with each other, the air seemed to crackle when their explosive gazes met. How did you know that I would attack this ce? Mu Chenwu realized that he had suffered a setback here. There was no need to mention the harbor at Luo Hai now. Yuan Xuan did not answer Mu Chenwus question directly. He stared into Mu Chenwus eyes as if he could read his thoughts. The man quietly chuckled. Not only did I realize that you woulde here, but I also predicted that youd alsounch an attack on the port. Yuan Xuan paused while Mu Chenwus expression changed. Luo Hais harbor patrol has already sent its officers to surround your warships and seize the items there as evidence. Your subordinates have betrayed you. It doesnt matter whether you return to Luo Hai or not because youre about to meet your doom. Mu Chenwu now realized that Shen Muqiu would sink his ship if he continued to resist them today. In the end, he would be destined to drown. If they forced him to retreat, all of his actions would only lead to a lengthy prison sentence. That would be too cruel! Mu Chenwus entire body throbbed with pain when he heard this. The sea breeze blew as he gazed into the distance. Does this mean that you destroyed the hideout at the construction site near Green Smoke Mountain? He assumed that Yuan Xuan was well aware of his secrets. However, Yuan Xuan had not taken any action because Mu Chenwu had the upper hand when it came tond battles. Yuan Xuan hadcked any concrete evidence before this. Nheless, Yuan Xuan had forced him into a hopeless situation when he lured him out to sea and proved that he wasmitting these crimes. A faint light shed in Yuan Xuans dark eyes. He turned and walked toward a towering building on the tform. The dusky fog seemed to smudge his lengthy shadow. Mr Mu, the wind is too strong outside. This isnt the right way to treat ones guests! At the moment, he was still being contentious. The resentment in Mu Chenwus eyes was obvious when he looked at Yuan Xuan and trailed behind him. Yuan Xuan would asionallye here to inspect and monitor the area. An office was prepared for him on the tform for this purpose. The office was neat and tidy. The manager on site had already boiled some water because he knew several hours ago that Yuan Xuan was about to arrive. The water was ready for Yuan Xuan to brew his tea. Mu Chenwu seemed unconcerned. His eyes sparkled as he sank into the sofa. He appeared to be confidently confronting Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan sat on the massive leather chair as he fixed his gaze on Mu Chenwu. The corners of his lips turned downward while his gloomy eyes were filled with anger. Thete autumn chills wereced with the scent of sea breeze. It seeped through the cracks between thettice windows. It was already past 10 oclock, but the ocean mist continued to grow denser outside. It looked like a storm was approaching. The weather at sea always underwent sudden changes. Outside, the stifling atmosphere of the calm before the storm caused the two men inside the room to unconsciously keep mum as well. Their profound hatred for each other had resulted in a confrontation thatsted nearly three years. However, this resentment could be traced back over a decade. Yuan Xuan, I dont have much time left. If you have something to say, lets talk this out quickly. Mu Chenwu broke the silence first. His stern gaze was filled with a murderous intent when he red at the man before him who was the most powerful individual in Luo Hai. I poisoned myself before I came ashore. Ill die in an hour once the poison kicks in. You wont even have to do anything. Traces of a sinister smile appeared on the corners of Mu Chenwus lips as he said this. Yuan Xuans expression darkened. He expected that Mu Chenwu would engage in a life and death struggle with him, but he had never anticipated that Mu Chenwu would choose a road to ruin. He truly did not fear death. It would be such a waste if you died like this. Yuan Xuans dark eyes were devoid of a single trace of emotion. He leaned back before he deadpanned, I never knew that you were so weak spirited. Mu Chenwu sneered. I knew that youd never release me. After all, Yuan Tangbai and Mu Fengs grudges and their lives were the things that stood between you and me. Why would I be afraid? Yuan Xuan gritted his teeth when he heard Yuan Tangbais name. His body stiffened and he clenched his fists. Overwhelming hostility seeped through his violent gaze. Youre right, the same ending would await you whether you poisoned yourself today or not! Youll get your revenge when I die because the entire Mu Family will be wiped out. Oh, thats not right. You still have Little Chenyan in the palm of your hand. Is it true that shes pregnant with your child? Im assuming that she doesnt know the truth yet. Its so cute that shes willing to have your baby in spite of everything... Mu Chenwus sinister features broke out into a mocking smile. His eyes heavily hinted that his schemes had seeded. Yuan Xuan rose and angrily red at Mu Chenwu. Nheless, his voice was t when he spat each word, saying, Youve deliberately distorted the truth and twisted the facts in front of Mu Chenyan. You never told her that the person whomitted treason was your father, Mu Feng! He betrayed his superiors and his country to achieve his selfish desires. He secretlymunicated with Ze Da, the leader of the rebel forces in Xi Fan, who smuggled in ammunition! Mu Feng was struck by malicious intent when Yuan Tangbai discovered this. Mu Feng decided to defy his superiors from the grassroots without any consideration for the countrys interests! You and I both know that Yuan Tangbai wasnt the only person who lost his life. 3948 other heroes were sacrificed in Xi Fan when they were tricked into going to the vige where they were ambushed! Yuan Xuan said all of this in a single breath. He red furiously at Mu Chenwu. A hint of anguish appeared in the gaze of the man who had been behaving arrogantly earlier. Youre right, my father did betray the country. But what was the point of loyalty? The Mu Family provided outstanding military service in Xi Fan, and he was the bestmander ofndbat. However, Yuan Tangbai continued to overlook him because he was merely an adjutant! Any imperialmendations would solely be awarded to Yuan Tangbai when they returned to Luo Hai! You shouldnt just me Mu Feng for all of this. Yuan Tangbai wouldnt have been killed without the background support of your second uncle Yuan Tangzhong! Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenwus Three Worldviews were skewed. He was influenced by Mu Feng as he had followed him since he was young. The wind and rain gradually worsened outside the window. The storms at sea were always more intense than those onnd. The tform was surrounded by the ocean. It was suddenly forced to endure this devastating storm on its own. For the first time in ten years, Yuan Xuan was struggling alone during a storm... Mu Chenwu, you werent directly involved in the longsting battle in Xi Fan, but youvemitted numerous evil deeds under Mu Fengs guidance these past few years. Are you going to repent on your fathers behalf before you die? Yuan Xuan assumed a victors stance and towered over Mu Chenwu. He was enveloped by a powerful aura. He resembled the personification of glory and justice. Seeing this, Mu Chenwu suddenly felt dissatisfied. The man sneered, saying, Yuan Xuan, do you really think that youre the ultimate winner? Traces of blood trickled down the corners of Mu Chenwus lips. The poison that he swallowed would swiftly end his short but evil existence. He would be disappointed if he failed to get certain things off his chest before then. Yuan Xuan remained silent and turned towards the sea. I was prepared to die when I came here. You would lose everything if I seeded, but at least you would still have Mu Chenyan. Yuan Xuan turned around abruptly when he heard this. He asked sternly, What do you mean? Mu Chenwu snickered. The effects of the drug made his face look savage. Gloomy and prating chills seeped through the space between them. You would win this war if I failed, but you... You would... You would lose Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan took a step forward and grabbed Mu Chenwu. His body was gradually stiffening as heid on the sofa. Yuan Xuan loudly asked, What have you done to Mu Chenyan? Mu Chenwu smiled before he replied to Yuan Xuans question with his final breath. I like seeing you... Afraid like this... You grew up as a member of Luo Hais most illustrious family... You were their brilliant heir... However, you possess a hidden dark side... His stomach was suddenly struck by pain. Large beads of sweat ran down Mu Chenwus head and soaked his clothes. He panted heavily before he cursed, F*ck, if Id known about this earlier, I would have chosen a more lethal drug to get it over with! You still loved... You still loved Mu Chenyan despite knowing her true identity... Doesnt that make you... A wretched person? Dont you think that the world is going to condemn you for that?

Chapter 334: He Left You a Video Before He Died

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hibiscus Garden, Luo Hai The storm shrouded Luo Hai in fog, while the surroundings of Hibiscus Garden were covered in red fragments that fell on the ground. The cool autumn breeze lingered in the air. It chilled people to the bone. Within Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan was worried sick. A single phone call was enough to leave her feeling confused and helpless. Chenyan, why was there M36n in the soil sample that you sent? Su Qingcheng had asked the forensic department to examine it. They were very familiar with this element by now. Yuan Zhes direct cause of death was poisoning by M36n. This was apound poison that Zheng Shuyan had developed... Yuan Xuan had not returned the entire night. This was the second reason for Mu Chenyans anxiety. Previously, Yuan Xuan would never stay out all night or disappear without a word. The same message yed whenever she tried to contact him. Sorry, the person youve called is currently unavable... * South China Sea Oil Field Yuan Xuan angrily red at Yan Jun and the pilot who was holding him back. He snarled, You dont have to follow me if youre afraid of dying. I can fly a helicopter on my own, so back off. Im going back to Luo Hai! At the moment, Yan Jun was not afraid of offending Yuan Xuan. He snapped, The storm is too violent now. Itll be extremely dangerous for you to fly a helicopter. Were not afraid of dying, but were worried that youll die! Calm down, the Mistress will be fine. You can use the satellite phone tomunicate with the men who were deployed in Luo Hai... Yuan Xuans eyes were bloodshot, but he managed to slowly calm himself down. He had already made the necessary preparations beforeing here. Everything would be fine as long as Mu Chenyan remained in Hibiscus Garden. However, a strange sense of uneasiness welled up inside him when he saw the look in Mu Chenwus eyes before his death. Neither the helicopter nor the ships could be used as the storm was too intense. He was stranded in the South China Sea... * Hibiscus Garden Mu Chenyan gazed through the sheer white curtains that led to the balcony. She saw a red-colored umbre passing through the little garden in the middle. It wasing from the direction of Upper Mansion. The Old Mistress mood was worsened by the sudden idents that repeatedly happened within her household. This had caused her health to progressively deteriorate. She had been unable to get out of bed for many days. Yuan Zhe died, Wen Ya left the Yuan household, and Xue Meiwei was in the hospital taking care of Yuan Tangzhong who seemed like a walking corpse. Yuan Xuan was mysteriously nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the third son of the Yuan Family refused to have anything to do with this feud. Too many things had happened within a year. The Yuan Family waspletely enveloped by an unnatural silence. Shu Qinger was the only person who still had the energy to cause trouble now. The Mistress is upstairs. Miss, please have a seat. Ill ask the Mistress toe down. Ah Fus voice could be heard clearly. Mu Chenyan immediately pushed the door open and stood face to face with Ah Fu before the girl came over. Mistress, Miss Zhao is here! The Miss Zhao that the servant was referring to was actually Shu Qinger. Mu Chenyan nodded and followed Ah Fu downstairs. Shu Qinger wore light makeup to entuate her healthyplexion. Nheless, this woman always appeared rather irritating because she loved stirring up trouble. Mu Chenyan put on a stern face and indifferently said, What brings you here in spite of the heavy rain? Ive already told you that I hate it when you visit Hibiscus Garden while Im present. Shu Qinger sneered when she noticed that Mu Chenyan looked agitated. You have every right to say that. After all, youre the mistress of Hibiscus Garden. She turned and sat down on the sofa. She murmured, However, you wont be the mistress for much longer! Mu Chenyan smirked. Neither will you! Shu Qinger coldly red at Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, she said, I didnte here to fight with you. I came to tell you some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first? Stop beating around the bush! Shu Qinger had made herself at home without asking for permission. As Mu Chenyan was already annoyed because of her pregnancy, she desperately wanted Ah Fu to chase Shu Qinger out with a broom. Alright, Ill tell you the bad news first. Shu Qinger gleefully fixed her gaze on Mu Chenyan. Your brother, Mu Chenwu, led a fleet filled with explosives to the South China Sea Oil Field this morning... Mu Chenyans expression changed drastically and her body trembled when she heard this. Mu Chenwu... Hes dead! Shu Qinger was secretly overjoyed when she saw Mu Chenyans stunned expression. He left you a video before he died. Do you want to see it? Chapter 335 - Mu Chenyan Left You a Letter

Chapter 335: Mu Chenyan Left You a Letter

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Shao Yibai received Yuan Xuans call through the satellite phone, he learnt that Mu Chenwu was dead while Yuan Xuan was stranded in the South China Sea because of the storm. Yuan Xuan asked Shao Yibai for help because he was worried about Mu Chenyan. Unfortunately, Shao Yibai was in Capital City. Currently, Su Qingcheng was the only person that he trusted in Luo Hai. Su Qingchengs mind was fraught with anxiety when Shao Yibai told her to rush over to Hibiscus Garden to check on Mu Chenyan. Shao Yibai had only recently returned to the Capital City. Before he left, he asked her to take care of Mu Chenyan while he was gone. Mu Chenyan did not go to work for a long time after the incidents in the Yuan household, but Su Qingcheng called her every day to ask if she was alright. Su Qingcheng knew that the Yuan Family Mansions security was extremely tight. It was unlikely that they would face any problems defending Mu Chenyan. This afternoon, both Mu Chenyans cell phone and thendline at Hibiscus Garden were dead. Shao Yibais frantic calls from Capital City instantly sent panic through Su Qingchengs mind as well. Did something happen to Mu Chenyan? I cant give you details through the phone. Everything will be fine as long as she hasnt left Hibiscus Garden. Our men are stationed around the periphery, so shell be safe! However, Yuan Xuan wants you to hurry over to Hibiscus Garden to check out the situation. Remember to protect Mu Chenyan! Shao Yibai was an optimist by nature, but he could sense that something was amiss now. The man who was stranded in the South China Sea had been immensely troubled when he spoke to Shao Yibai over the phone. That was not the Yuan Xuan that Shao Yibai remembered. * Su Qingchengs car raced across the slippery road, forming sshes that were half a meter high. The other drivers spat a series of curses at her as they drove past. Her car elerated. Su Qingcheng only breathed a long sigh of relief when she drew close to the cluster of vis in the wealthy suburb near Autumn View Mountain. She gently stepped on the brakes. She thought to herself, Mu Chenyan, please be alright. A red-colored BMW drove away from the direction of the Yuan Family Mansion. Its speed was neither fast nor slow. Through the mist, Su Qingcheng realized that the driver looked familiar. However, she failed to get a good look when their cars passed each other... Su Qingcheng simply distractedly stepped on the elerator and continued moving forward. Fifteen minutester, the mansions front door appeared before her. She noticed that the security here was very tight when she attempted to enter the Yuan Family Mansion. The head of security was an imposing man carrying a walkie-talkie. He only allowed Su Qingchengs white-colored Mazda to enter once he received an order from the other side. Su Qingcheng could instantly tell that the head of security was a special forces soldier who was transferred from Capital City. His vignce and the way he carried himself was different from that of a civilian. Hibiscus Garden Ah Fu frantically paced up and down the house. She was too afraid to inform the Old Mistress that Yuan Xuan was uncontactable. She anxiously threw herself at Su Qingcheng when the older woman hastily rushed inside. Miss Su... The Mistress... Where is the Mistress? Su Qingcheng became agitated when she noticed that the servant was terrified. Her tone changed. The Mistress was packing her things earlier before she left with Miss Zhao... Before he left, the Master instructed me not to let the Mistress take a single step out of Hibiscus Garden. But I couldnt stop her... Ah Fu began to sob as she exined. Why didnt you answer the phone? Su Qingcheng demanded angrily. She realized that she had failed when she heard this. The Mistress disconnected the phone line... Ah Fus heart continued to tremble with fear when she recalled thepletely disillusioned look on Mu Chenyans face. She spoke to Miss Zhao for some time. I dont know what Miss Zhao said, but the Mistress suddenly started crying. After that, she went upstairs and changed her clothes. When I came outside, I only saw Miss Zhao driving her car to the entrance before the Mistress got in without even turning back... Ah Fu took a deep breath after she spoke. She wiped away her snot and tears as she cried. How would she face the Young Master if anything happened to Mu Chenyan because of this? Is Zhao Ruoxins car a red BMW? Su Qingcheng recalled the familiar driver whom she had encountered halfway when she slowed down. Yes, its a red car... Damn! Su Qingcheng was so angry that she wanted to p herself several times. The car that she had passed earlier on the way here... Mu Chenyan, you idiot. How could you leave with her? What did she say to you? Su Qingcheng cursed when she realized that disaster was imminent. She contacted Wu Huai. Captain, Im requesting for backup. Mu Chenyan may have been kidnapped! Su Qingcheng was left with no choice but to make the situation sound slightly more severe. She needed to force Wu Huai to send the police. Wu Huai was shocked when he heard this. The Yuan Family must have done many evil deeds this year. Theyve given us a slew of cases. Dont panic. Tell me the vehicles registration te number and Ill instruct someone over here to... Su Qingcheng contacted Shao Yibai. Tell your men toe with me. Yuan Xuans own men can hold down the fort at the Yuan Family Mansion on their own. Im afraid that Shu Qinger may have kidnapped Mu Chenyan! Shao Yibais hair stood on end when he heard this. They were in a sticky situation now. If anything happened to Mu Chenyan, Yuan Xuan would cause a ruckus when he returned to Luo Hai! When the head of security at the entrance received Shao Yibais orders, he gathered the 150 elite soldiers from Capital City. While they were mostly dressed in casual clothes, a group of them had changed into the security guards uniforms as a disguise. Su Qingcheng nced at these well-trained troops before she arranged them in a simple manner. She hurriedly created a chat group in order to easemunication. She sent Mu Chenyan and Shu Qingers photos and a picture of Shu Qingers car to the group. A few of you can go to variousrge petrol stations on your own to search for them using these photos. You guys will go to Luo Hais six high-speed intersections and intercept them. This group will investigate the nearby harbors and airports. The rest of you will do a thorough search using the transport departments surveince cameras. Su Qingcheng sighed deeply once she had finished assigning tasks. She ordered, Inform the group if you discover even the slightest activity! Hurry up and move out! Also, Mrs Yuan is pregnant, so dont frighten her or she may vomit. Mu Chenyan was unaware that Luo Hai had descended into chaos after she left. The transport department, major crimes department, and the special forces from Capital City turned Luo Hai upside down in the short span of several hours in an effort to find her... * At night The raging storm thatsted throughout the day finally stopped. The thunderous roar of massive propellers echoed from afar as it approached thending pad on the port. The cold wind on this rainy night was not enough to chill peoples bodies. The man who came down from the helicopter scanned his surroundings with a stern gaze. However, the people waiting for him at the airport wrapped their clothes tighter around their bodies. Third Young Master, Im sorry... The Mistress... Zhou Tian, the captain responsible for guard duties, was one of Shao Yibais men. He felt extremely guilty about his dereliction of duty. Yuan Xuan nced at Zhou Tian. Although he was burning with rage, he knew that it was inappropriate tosh out at him. He calmly said, Zhou Tian, you dont have to exin. I still need your help to continue searching for the next few days. The expression on Yuan Xuans face darkened. There were no signs of a smile at all. He wrapped the ck windbreaker tighter around his body as his long legs entered the Maybach. They travelled west. The Yuan Family Mansion was halfway up Autumn View Mountain. The old mansion gave off a strange dim light under the pitch-ck autumn night. The inside of Hibiscus Garden nowcked that womans gentle and beautiful silhouette. Yuan Xuan felt a heavy blow strike his heart at the second he entered. He had some trouble breathing. Mu Chenyan had disappeared with Shu Qinger fourteen hours ago. Ah Fu trembled with fear when she saw Yuan Xuan returning in the middle of the night. The girl was bundled up in cotton-padded clothes, but she shivered as she stood in the doorway. Young Master... Ah Fu pouted and nearly cried, but she determinedly restrained herself when she saw Yuan Xuans stern face. However, Yuan Xuan could not me anyone now. Mu Chenyan left on purpose. Nobody could stop her if she wanted to leave. Ah Fu, bring Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet home tomorrow... A gleaming reflection flickered in Yuan Xuans dark eyes as the sense of loneliness suddenly swelled in his heart. Everything was settled, but he could not make that woman stay in the end... The thorough searchsted a week. It seemed as though Mu Chenyan had disappeared off the face of the earth. There was no news about her ever since. Yuan Xuans initial fury turned into anxiety before it finally became prayers to god! * One monthter One morning in winter, Ah Fu woke up early as usual and busied herself in the kitchen. In the month since the Mistress disappeared, The Young Master barely ate anything during meals. However, Ah Fu continued to cook the usual amount of food. She silently watched as Yuan Xuanid out Mu Chenyans cutlery... In this house, Yuan Xuan never seemed to admit that Mu Chenyan had left. Today was no exception. Yuan Xuan instructed Ah Fu beforehand to cook the rice wine steamed eggs that the Mistress liked. When Ah Fu came out of the kitchen, she was shocked to see the group of people who had suddenly appeared before her. Miss... Miss Zhao... The te of steamed eggs that Ah Fu had just brought out ttered on the floor and broke into pieces while the girl shrieked. Yuan Xuan came out of the bedroom when he heard themotion. He saw Yan Jun, Tian Qi, and a group of other people. They angrily burst into Hibiscus Garden while dragging a woman along. That woman was none other than Shu Qinger who had disappeared with Mu Chenyan for a long time. Young Master, we caught this woman earlier at the entry point to Luo Hais highway. Yan Jun shoved Shu Qinger inside. Shu Qinger had reced her red BMW with a white Hyundai long ago. It was not surprising that they were unable to find surveince footage of that car entering and leaving the area during their previous investigations. Shu Qingers gaze fell on the stern and gloomy man who was leaning against the handrails on the second floor. Her exquisite little face broke out into a smile. Third Young Master, Im here to give you a letter! Yuan Xuans expression remained calm. His dark eyes never stirred as he was unperturbed. He said indifferently, You were brave enough to return, so you should already know the consequences! Shu Qinger lifted her head and giggled when he said that. If youre nning to ask me about Mu Chenyans whereabouts, you can rest assured that I wont tell you. As she spoke, Shu Qinger attempted to cast off Tian Qis grip. Yuan Xuan signalled Tian Qi to release her. Shu Qinger shook her arm once she was freed. It hurt from being gripped so tightly. She stepped forward and walked upstairs to the second floor. She anchored her feet there and met the mans gaze. She had previously loved him so much that she had suffered terribly for him. His face was currently filled with intense hatred. Shu Qinger believed that Yuan Xuan would tear her to shreds with his own hands. The only thing that stopped him was his desire to learn Mu Chenyans whereabouts from her. Mu Chenyan left Luo Hai and followed Shu Qinger to City C. She wrote this letter a month ago. She had initially nned to get rid of Mu Chenyan. It would be best if she sold her off in Africa. She never expected that Mu Chenyan would merely use her to escape from Luo Hai. A short while after they left Autumn View Mountain, Mu Chenyan forced Shu Qinger to exchange her BMW for a white Hyundai at a car retailer. The vehicle permits wereplete, and she even had the proper identification to prove that this car was obviously not stolen. The owner of the Hyundai could not believe that he had gotten so lucky... Mu Chenyan promised that they would transfer ownership of the BMW to him and finalize everything in a few days. She also reminded the car owner to remove the vehicles registration te immediately and drive the car home. He could not appear in public for the next three days at any cost. The owner of the Hyundai obediently followed her instructions. He only realized that he had gotten himself into a huge mess when he heard that the Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family was on the run. The man was so terrified that he sought out his uncle that very night and painted the red BMW white... It resulted in a horrible paint job. Mu Chenyan still possessed the wig and tools that she previously used to crack cases. It was not difficult for her to disguise herself and deceive surveince. Yuan Xuan had forgotten that Shu Qingers name had already vanished. They used Zhao Ruoxins identification throughout their journey... Mu Chenyan abandoned her three days after they arrived in City C. The only thing that she left behind in the hotel was this letter. In actuality, Shu Qinger waspletely unaware of Mu Chenyans current whereabouts. Shu Qinger had to admit that she was no match for Mu Chenyan when it came to deceiving others. She had lost sight of Mu Chenyan, but Yuan Xuan was still frantically looking for his wife. Shu Qinger found a remote ce in City C and hid there because she was too afraid to return to Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan had taken her identification card and the money inside her bank cards. It was impossible for a person such as Shu Qinger, who had always been fragile and egotistical, to suffer living a life on the run. She realized that she still had Mu Chenyans handwritten letter. That man would probably give up once he saw the conclusion. Shu Qinger assumed that Yuan Xuan would not hurt her on ount of the Old Mistress feelings. Moreover, that man was previously indebted to her as well. Shu Qinger attempted to return to Luo Hai to find a way out. As expected, she was immediately seized by Yuan Xuans men the moment she stepped foot into Luo Hai. Mu Chenyan wrote a letter and told me to give it to you! Shu Qinger took an envelope out of her pocket as she said this. It was pale pink and slightly crumpled after Shu Qinger rubbed against it. Yuan Xuans palms were dry and warm. He felt strangely hurt when he looked at that pale pink envelope. It contained news from Mu Chenyan, but he was too afraid to take it... Fear was a feeling that Yuan Xuan had not experienced since he was five years old. This was his first time experiencing this emotion ever since he lost his parents. Third Young Master Yuan, you dont believe that Mu Chenyan wrote this letter for you? The corners of Shu Qingers lips curled upward when she noticed the hesitation that shed across Yuan Xuans arrogant gaze. Her smile was intentionally sinister. Mu Chenyan left you this letter because she knew that you refused to give up on her. She doesnt want you to look for her anymore. If you dont read it... Yuan Xuan refused to be threatened by this woman. He reached out and snatched the envelope. Hisrge warm hands stroked it while he held it in his palm for some time. Mu Chenyan chose this method as she was afraid that he would find her. She avoided all modern forms ofmunication and instead chose the primitive method of writing a letter... Her delicate and familiar handwriting appeared before him when he opened the envelope. He recognized Mu Chenyans writing. Brother Xuan, I wrote you this letter because I couldnt meet you. This is thest time Ill ever call you Brother Xuan. I know that your heart will be filled with love and hatred when you read this letter. Im sorry. You know that it was the best choice for me to leave. I can never face you again, and theres no way for me to pretend that nothing happened. I cant act like a spoiled child or fool around with you like we did in the past anymore... You protected me for so many years by refusing to expose my real past to me. Ive loved and hated you, but I never realized that your love for me was so deep and sincere... You carried this burden alone in the past, but I repaid the favor. Please let me do something for you now. Im Ze Das daughter... I have evil blood flowing through my veins as he was the leader of the rebel forces. I cant even face myself because Ive been tainted... 3928 heroes lost their lives during the long-standing battle. The departed spirit of the brave General Yuan Tangbai would never allow me to stay here. Please forget me. You shouldnt me yourself for feeling conflicted because you love me. I dont deserve your love at all. I was never given the right to choose, just like my mother who wasnt allowed to decide whether she wanted to give birth to me in the first ce. I stupidly allowed so many years to pass. Worse still, I made another unimaginably stupid decision when I discovered this the first time. How dare I assume that I was worthy enough to nurture the flesh and blood of the Yuan Family in my womb? Donte looking for me anymore. Just let me live out my days in misery as a form of repentance... You should find a better woman who will love you for the rest of your life. A woman like me doesnt deserve you at all! Ive aborted the baby... Yuan Xuan read the whole letter. He gripped the railing to calm down. He noticed that the envelope contained a document from the hospital confirming that her pregnancy was terminated! Yuan Xuan murmured, Mu Chenyan, how could you... He felt his vision darken before his entire body fell headfirst with a thud! Young Master! Tian Qi and Yan Jun yelled simultaneously. Ah Fu had no idea what happened. She merely shrieked when she saw Yuan Xuans tall figure tumbling down the stairs... Chapter 336 - Happy Birthday, Little Chenyan

Chapter 336: Happy Birthday, Little Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Four monthster, in the military hospital. Yuan Xuan removed the final steel nail from his leg and Yuan Tian could not help but sigh as she looked at her handsome brother sitting in a wheelchair. Stand up and try walking around. Yuan Xuan supported himself with the handrails on the sides of the bed and stood up. Even though he had always used a wheelchair when he was at home or in the office previously, he did not feel troubled. Now that he removed the steel nails and stopped using crutches or wheelchairs, he was as handsome as ever. Luckily there arent any residual effects from the injury. Otherwise, who knows how many socialites in Luo Hai would cry themselves to death when they found out that youre crippled! Yuan Tian noticed that Yuan Xuan recovered pretty well, and her earlier concerns were unnecessary. Fortunately, he only broke his leg after falling from such high ground. It would be a pity if it left a scar on his face! What does that have to do with Luo Hais socialites? Yuan Xuan said in a brief tone. Thankfully, the stairs in Hibiscus Garden were made of wood, so he was able to keep his life. Of course, they would be sad if youre crippled. The position of Yuan Familys Third Missus... Is reserved for Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan interrupted Yuan Tians sentence and stared at her with his cold gaze. It was spring already, yet Yuan Tian felt a sudden and inexplicable coldness. She stuck her tongue out and did not dare to continue talking. Both of them were like a pair of quarrelsome lovers. They had been in love for more than ten years yet had only truly been together for a year. When Yuan Tian thought about it, ever since Mu Chenyan left, Yuan Xuan once again returned to being a cold, sadistic person who showed no mercy. Shu Qinger was the best example. Yuan Xuan knew that Shu Qinger had something to do with what happened, so the first thing that he did after he woke up was to take revenge on her. That woman miscalcted a step, as there was no use pleading to the Old Mistress. Yuan Xuan ordered someone to throw Shu Qinger in jail on the grounds of kidnapping and human trafficking. None of thewyers in Luo Hai dared to defend Shu Qinger and the prosecutor ended the case carelessly. Just like that, the socialite lifestyle that Shu Qinger was looking forward to came to an end. It seemed like a good idea for her to spend her remaining years in Luo Hais prison... * Hibiscus Garden. The birth of Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquets first batch of kittens lifted the atmosphere in Hibiscus Garden. After two hours ofbor, the three little kittensid closely in Little Ginger Fur Balls arms. The kittens meowing calmed Yuan Xuan who was sweating profusely. Little Ginger Fur Ball was once just a little maiden cat, yet it seemed to be covered in a motherly radiance when it saw the three kittens cramming up to feed on milk. Then, she licked her kittens with her tiny little tongue. Young Master, this one looks the most like Little Ginger Fur Ball! Ah Fu pointed at one of the ginger-colored female kittens with a particrly excited expression. Mm! Yuan Xuan answered lightly. There were three kittens, one fully yellow, one fully ck, and one a tabby cat. It was nice to have two males and a female. Little Ginger Fur Ball saw Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu pointing at them. Due to her motherly instinct, she was a little unhappy as she was worried that they might harm her kittens, so she purred toin. Briquet also developed a fatherly instinct as he growled at Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu. He straightened its tail and seemed like it was ready to attack! Briquet: I dare you to make a move on my wife and kids! What an ungrateful bastard dog. Youve forgotten all about your father now that you have a wife and kids. Yuan Xuan cursed lowly and pinched Briquets butt. Briquet: Meow-meow, father, are you blind? Im a bastard cat... I fed you imported cat food, and this is how you repay me! Briquet: Meow-meow, father, if you were to be a father, youd be worse than me... Yuan Xuan, ... Briquet, stop being so merciless! Yuan Xuan looked at the group of kittens cuddling with Little Ginger Fur Ball and he was suddenly struck by a sense of sadness. If Mu Chenyan did not get an abortion, she would be inbor now... * Three yearster. Zhong Heng International. Yuan Xun walked out of the office and Yan Jun rushed over from somewhere else with a travel-weary look on his face. Young Master, are you leaving work? Yan Jun went to the pantry to get a cup of water and before he could even take a sip, he was a little surprised to see the elegant man getting ready to get off work. It had been more than three years since Young Mistress disappeared and Yuan Xuan worked overtime almost every night. Even when he did not work overtime, he would be on a business trip. The number of times Yuan Xuan went on a business trip had increased significantlypared to before. He seemed to have begun to enjoy the feeling of walking on the street. Whenever he returned to Hibiscus Garden, the feeling of emptiness kept him up all night. Shouldnt I get off work? Yuan Xuan had a question mark written on his face. He was the boss after all, so why would he need someone elses permission to take a day off? Let alone getting off work. Yan Jun gulped with a fearful look on his face. Then, he said smiling, Of course theres nothing wrong with it! Just that... What? Yuan Xuan had gradually gotten sick of Yan Juns fussiness. His expression sank and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. The Old-Old Mistress arranged a blind date... Yan Jun saw that Yuan Xuan had a grim look on his face. Moreover, his ice-cold gaze stopped him from finishing his sentence. Ever since Little Mistress disappeared, the Yuan Familys Third Young Mistress position had been empty. Besides that, the Yuan Familys second son was gone, so the once lively Yuan Family Mansion suddenly seemed cold and deste. The Old Mistress was feeling anxious and she could not care less about what Yuan Xuan had done to the Yuan Familys second son. After all, the one left alive was the more important one. Thus, forcing Yuan Xuan to get married became the Old Mistresss greatest pleasure. To the socialites of Luo Hai, this was a great opportunity. With the support of the Old Mistress, they could not wait to throw themselves at Third Young Master Yuan. However, Yuan Xuan was not willing to be manipted. He put on an act in front of the Old Mistress whenever she gave reasons like encouraging rtionship between aristocratic families. Whenever she set up all kinds of sudden encounters, he pretended to be very surprised. Nevertheless, nothing happened after that. Ultimately, nothing definite ever urred... As for the directly arranged marriage meetups, it went without saying that Yuan Xuan always had all kinds of excuses to reject them. Seeing how there was no hope of ever getting a grandchild, the Old Mistress used her trump card. Since Yuan Xuan always used working as an excuse, she sent the women directly to his office. Lets see if he could run now! Yuan Xuan saw how Yan Jun served as the Old Mistresss henchman and he was furious. Im the one paying you, but youre loyal to someone else. What a righteous man! Yuan Xuan knew that Yan Jun was looking after him for the Old Mistress. Yan Jun had an offended look on his face, yet he could not defend himself. Your grandmother used all her strength to get you a lifelongpanion. He was just an innocent bystander that was dragged into it, please do not look at him as a traitor... Young Master, thedy is waiting downstairs already... Yan Jun thought in his heart, I was not the one who brought her here after all, if you do not wish to meet her, at least let her know. Yuan Xuans expression sank and he answered, Today is the Young Mistresss sr birthday. I need to rush home to make her dinner! I wont meet her! Yan Jun, ... Yuan Xuan was trapped in a curse. Three years had gone by, yet he carried on as if Mu Chenyan never left! He ate the food that she liked, yed the songs that she listened in the office, walked the path that she used to walk, and hugged the pillow that Mu Chenyan slept with while he stared nkly the entire night... Only then did Yan Jun understand, Yuan Xuan was not blindly clinging onto his loyalty towards her. He truly believed that Mu Chenyan might return at any time, even though he received disappointing news each time he sent people to look for her. Today was indeed Mu Chenyans sr birthday. Yuan Xuan would personally cook a table full of dishes every year on this day. Then, he would open a bottle of red wine, sit in front of the dining table, light the candles, and sing her a birthday song softly. Yan Jun watched as the Third Young Master Yuan walked past him and grunted in disapproval. Yuan Xuan made an order on his phone and before he arrived home, the ingredients that he ordered had arrived in Hibiscus Garden. When Ah Fu saw that the ingredients were all favorites of the Young Mistress. She knew that it was Young Mistresss birthday when she looked at the calendar. Ah Fu did not say anything, all she did was help him out in the kitchen with her talent in cooking. Eventually, she made a table full of dishes together with Yuan Xuan. The affectionate man sat in front of the huge dining table and poured two sses of red wine which sparkled faintly under the candlelight like a ruby. The huge bouquet of red roses was beautiful and delicate. The man took a sip of red wine and he felt a burning sensation passing through his throat along with a hint of bitterness surging through his sensory organs. Yuan Xuan paused, and muttered softly, Little Chenyan, happy birthday! He remembered the time when she was seventeen, they were at a birthday party in Ennd and it was the first time Little Chenyan had formally confessed to him. Back then, he knew that he should not fall in love with her. There was bound to be a blood feud between the two of them, yet he could not control the excitement in his heart. She loved him, and he loved her... However, he knew that he should not feel this way! Thest letter that Yuan Tangbai wrote before he passed contained evidence of Mu Fengs crime. That was the only keepsake left from his father after Ye Kuns escape. Unfortunately, at that time, Ye Kun failed to escape back to Luo Hai and he was captured once again. Under such circumstances, Ye Kun hid the letter and evidence with Yan Mei and imprisoned for ten years. He was forced to hand over the evidence and had been crippled. Ye Kun was Yan Meis first love, however, due to the pressure from her family, she was forced to marry Mu Feng. When she saw her previous lover imprisoned by Mu Feng, she eventually found a suitable opportunity to release Ye Kun secretly. Ye Kun returned to Luo Hai with the secret. Fortunately, he had been saved by Yuan Xuan as he was being pursued. It was then that the fifteen-year-old young man knew that his fathers murderer was about to return. However, he was too weak then. He had to be wary of his second uncle from the inside and be cautious of Mu Feng from the outside. Thus, he dared not act rashly even after he got the evidence. He gathered power and waited until he was strong enough so that he could personally destroy the enemy that ruined his family. The cold young man who grew up with hate did not expect God to y a trick on him. When Mu Feng returned from Xi Fan, he brought along a little girl, called Mu Chenyan... Love had no reason! He knew that he wasmitting a great sin, loving Mu Chenyan was treachery. Nheless, the young man had tried his best to restrain himself. To avoid her, he even chose to hide in another country. Who would have thought that she would follow along shamelessly... Yuan Xuan recalled the seventeen-year-old Mu Chenyan. She was young, naive and persistent like no other. She would not hesitate to go through hell for love. It was not that he did not have love inside of him, just that he kept it restrained. When he gathered enough power and was ready to retaliate, Ye Kun secretly told Yuan Xuan that Mu Feng drugged Yan Mei and gave her to Ze Da to achieve his goals. Mu Chenyan was Ze Das daughter... l. Mu Chenyan was Ze Das daughter... Chapter 337 - Arranged Marriage

Chapter 337: Arranged Marriage

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After the revolt in Xi Fan thatsted more than ten years, a man of his status had a daughter. Mu Feng had brought her to Lou Hai. If Mu Chenyans identity was to be exposed, it would be disastrous and she would never be epted. Moreover, based on the status and position of the Yuan Family, her being banished would be the smallest punishment. Mu Feng knew that this was Yuan Xuans weak spot! ... Yuan Xuan got drunk by himself. He hugged the bottle of wine and watched as the candles on the cake go out one by one. Yuan Xuan said softly, Sorry, Little Chenyan, Im useless... Previously, I was afraid that Mu Feng would fight me to the death and expose your identity, so I turned the other cheek when you were treated unjustly and thrown into prison... And now, Im still useless. Thats why you chose to leave, right... Ah Fu hid at the side, covered her mouth and listened to Yuan Xuan mutter while crying profusely... * Zhong Heng International. Yuan Xuan appeared in the parking area in a dark-colored suit. Yan Jun was waiting in front of the CEOs exclusive elevator while he nced left and right. The moment Yuan Xuan strode over to the elevator, he saw the odd look on Yan Juns face and could not help but frown. What are you doing here so suspiciously early in the morning? Yan Jun had a dejected look on his face. He was not being suspicious... Young Master, you stood Miss Yan up yesterday, so she rushed straight to your office early in the morning and waited for you! Yuan Xuan paused and gave a puzzled look, Which Miss Yan? Yan Jun knew that even if he mentioned her name in front of Yuan Xuan a thousand times, he would not remember it. The woman that Old Mistress arranged to meet you yesterday... Yuan Xuan heard it and he immediately knew that she was one of the marriage candidates that Old Mistress arranged for him. The previous women had never dared to behave so arrogantly even if he did not meet them. However, Miss Yan had rushed directly to his office? Yuan Xuan twitched the corners of his lips and said casually as he walked forward, Whats her background? Yan Jun quickly informed to Yuan Xuan of what he found, Yan Pianran, 169cm tall, 28 years old, graduated from the Evergreen State College in the US, aw Ph.D., she was regarded as one of the most outstanding students during her schooling days... I dont want to listen to her education history! Yuan Xuan coldly interrupted Yan Juns report and stepped into the elevator with his long legs. Yan Jun wiped off the sweat on his forehead and continued, Miss Yan is the second daughter of the Yan Familys eldest son in Luo Hai. She pursued her studies overseas for many years and rarely returned home. A while ago, the Yan Familys Old Master had his eightieth birthday, so Old Mistress went to celebrate and got to know Miss Yan! Ive been told that Miss Yan has excellent academic qualifications and shes very beautiful. Moreover, she speaks eloquently, and the Old Mistress likes her very much... Yuan Xuans abnormally handsome side profile could be seen reflected on the walls of the elevator, but there was no expression on his well-defined face. The man pondered for a moment and ding, the elevator had arrived. Then, he turned around and said to Yan Jun, Arranged a slot for me in the afternoon, I want to have lunch with Wu Ze! Yan Jun did not know why Yuan Xuan thought about Wu Ze just then. Nheless, he did not question him and answered, Yes, Ill do it right away! Yuan Xuans gaze fell on the lounge next to the office. As expected, a woman was sitting on the dark-colored leather sofa. She was dressed in appropriate office wear and he could tell that she had a distinct preference. Her naturally curled long hair rested on top of her shoulders while she read a finance magazine. From time to time, she would push her sses. When Yan Pianran heard the secretary say CEO Yuan, she raised her head. Her slender long neck made her appear like an elegant white swan. Even though her delicate features were adorable, the glimpse in her eyes revealed an elder sister look. She stood up, walked towards Yuan Xuan and smiled, Mr. Yuan, Ive heard so much about you. Im Yan Pianran! Chapter 338 - Miss Yan, Do Me a Favor and Have Lunch with Me

Chapter 338: Miss Yan, Do Me a Favor and Have Lunch with Me

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yan Pianran introduced herself appropriately unlike the other socialites who behaved abnormally. Yuan Xuan sized up the girl with his cold gaze and noticed she had delicate features. Her slightly curled bangs made her seem a little quirky and her skin was so fair that it almost seemed transparent. Moreover, her sses gave her a gentler appearance and her huge, watery eyes were sparkling. From her looks, who would have thought that this woman had already surpassed Wu Zes record in just one year and was a rising star in the legal world? Yuan Xuans gaze swept past Yan Pianran and he nodded slightly. Then, he said in a cold and calm tone, Nice to meet you! The man spoke briefly and walked into his office. As he walked, he gave his secretary, Liu Jing an order, Bring me a cup of coffee and make Miss Yan something that she likes! Liu Jing hurriedly followed his instructions, Miss Yan, what would you like? Yan Pianran smiled softly at the secretary, Same as Mr. Yuan. Yan Pianran had not expected Yuan Xuan to treat her nicely since she came uninvited. However, thanks to her career, she was used to such treatment. The family members of those who lost awsuit would oftensh out at her when they left the courtroom. They imed that she was twisting the facts for money and that she was a mereckey... She had heard all kinds of assumptions about her and met many extremely unpleasant people, thus she no longer cared when regarded her with a nk expression. In addition, Yuan Xuan was a very good-looking man. Despite being cold and distant, he was courteous enough to offer her coffee. She forgave him! Yan Pianran followed behind Yuan Xuan and entered his office. Yuan Xuan did not stop her. He sat down on the leather chair, switched on hisputer and started working. Meanwhile, Yan Pianran began looking around the office. She noticed that the office had no almost color, everything was either ck or white. While it was extremely dull, it seemed appropriate. In the corner of the office, there was a huge bookshelf and treadmill. In the middle of the office stood a massive desk made of Ebony wood. It was clean and uncluttered. Yuan Xuan sat at the desk, his long, slender fingers clicking the mouse with a solemn look on his face. The tall floor to ceiling windows behind him directly faced the rising sun and golden sunlight seeped into the office through the sheer white curtains. The man was bathed in the morning sunlight causing his well-defined features to appear even more dazzling. Yan Pianran was already past the age where her heart pounded, however, when she looked at Yuan Xuan, a desire suddenly stirred deep in her heart... CEO Yuan, your coffee! Liu Jing broke the silence when she entered the office holding two cups of coffee. Yan Pianran averted her gaze and feeling slightly embarrassed. She took a cup of coffee from Liu Jing and said softly, Thank you. Yuan Xuan raised his head and seemed to have just noticed that there was someone else in the office. Liu Jing ced the cup of coffee, turned around and left. Yuan Xuan rxed and tasted the coffee. He then turned a sharp gaze towards Yan Pianran and said quietly, Miss Yan, I have a wife! Yan Pianran was dumbfounded. She could notprehend what he meant! She only understood what he said after taking a moment to think. This was a direct rejection from him. Before she could open her mouth, Yuan Xuan continued. I know you came here because of my grandmother. Im sorry, but my wife is Mu Chenyan! Yuan Xuan leaned against the chair lightly. He did not beat around the bush and had never liked to y games. After all, it was better if he was direct. Yan Pianran listened to him quietly and did not interrupt. Once Yuan Xuan finished talking, he had a help yourself out look on his face. She smiled, pointed at the chair in front of Yuan Xuan and asked, Can we sit down and talk about it? Yuan Xuan nodded, Sure! Yan Pianran sat down in front of Yuan Xuan, took a small sip of coffee and smiled widely, I know Mr. Yuan was once married, your grandmother told me about it. However, I also know that your wife left Luo Hai three years ago and you havent heard from her since! As she spoke, she paused to observe Yuan Xuans reaction. Yuan Xuans expression sank, but there was no sorrow in his cold gaze. He rested his fingertips between his brows and did not say anything. Legally, if a married couple is separated for more than two years, they can request a divorce, alternatively, it could mean that they are already divorced. Yan Pianran spoke about legal provisions, which was her forte. Before she met Yuan Xuan, she already gained a thorough understanding of his marriage. Although she did not know the details, she knew that Mu Chenyan was once in prison. Besides, it was a fact that she had left three years ago. While I have confidence in Miss Yans legal expertise, Ive never considered requesting a divorce. After all, my wife may return anytime now. If she found out, shed definitely be upset. Yuan Xuan spoke rather earnestly, as though he was truly worried that Mu Chenyan might be upset. Yan Pianran was speechless. She could not believe that such an infatuated man existed. The womans fair little face had turned a little red and what was up with the butterflies in her stomach? Oh God, she was 28 years old already! How could she behave like this? Yan Pianran calmed down and said nonchntly, I admire your wife! Yes, she is indeed worthy of admiration! Yuan Xuan said solemnly. Ugh... Should he not be a little more modest? The odd feeling inside Yan Pianrans heart was growing stronger. She pushed her sses and a warm hint of a smile shed through her watery eyes. Then, she said casually, Mr. Yuan, to be honest, I did not have any feelings for you before I sat down! Yuan Xuan listened to her quietly with an I did not expect you to have any feelings for me look on his face. He had been raised well, so it was impossible for him to treat a woman rudely. Nheless, he unmistakably did not show any enthusiasm. ordingly, Yan Pianran could feel the coldness and distance from him. To be frank, I only came to see you to satisfy your grandmothers wish. After all, I promised the olddy. I thought that since both of us are of this age already, it would be unrealistic for us to be in an intense and passionate rtionship like the youngsters. Therefore, our rtionship would only go as far as the end of this arranged meeting. However, after having spent a brief moment with you, Ive changed my decision! As Yan Pianran spoke, there were hints of shyness in her voice and her face turned red. Then, she calmed herself down and continued, Ive always considered myself an exceptional person, so I would not ept just an ordinary man. After so many years, Ive seeded in my career, but theres nothing going on in my love life... In truth, Im a very proud woman and Im not sure if you understand what Ive just said. Your wife has been missing for so many years, and I respect your decision to continue loving her. Even so, I hope that you wille to terms with reality. If youre willing to, we can try to date each other. If Mu Chenyan were to return one day, Ill leave without hesitation... As Yan Pianran spoke, her face had gotten redder as this was her first time confessing to a man so directly. Yuan Xuan listened to her silently. He rested his chin on his hand and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. Suddenly, he spoke calmly, Miss Yan, would you do me a favor and have lunch with meter? Chapter 339 - We’re in The Same Profession, That’s Why We’re Enemies

Chapter 339: Were in The Same Profession, Thats Why Were Enemies

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion ... Yan Pianran was startled by the sudden invitation. She was dumbfounded and it took a moment for her to understand what Yuan Xuan meant. All she saw was the strikingly handsome man in front of her. His entire body radiated a mature and elegant aura, yet it had an intense wounding power. Years of experience had given him a mature charm that young men in their twenties could not equal. Yuan Xuan thought that she bothered, so he frowned and said softly, Miss Yan, if youre busy, lets do it another day? Yan Pianran was rather startled, as she had not expected this to happen. Therefore, she said a little excitedly, Today is fine! Yuan Xuan nodded and said with a smile, Then please wait for me until the afternoon, I need to finish up my work. Yan Pianran felt as if she was dreaming the entire time. She had confessed to a man she had just met and agreed to have lunch with him. Most importantly, the man was the one who invited her. She had heard rumors that the Third Young Master Yuan was a difficult man to approach, could it be that had finallye to his senses? This 28-year-old young girl felt as though she was experiencing ate-blooming romance. * It was almost 11 oclock when Yuan Xuan finished his final long-distance meeting. He then turned off hisputer, took Mu Chenyans photo from the table, ced it close to his lips and nted a light kiss, Little Chenyan, good afternoon! The woman in the picture was smiling brightly but she would not know that this infatuated man had waited for many years... Yan Jun had reserved a table in a hotel beforehand. They parked their car in the parking area and Yuan Xuan opened the car door for Yan Pianran like a gentleman. The two of them walked side by side and a few of the restaurants customers could not resist turning around to look. The man had an impressive presence and an outstanding aura. Whereas the woman was tall, slim and beautiful. The pair of them formed a beautiful picture when they walked together. Yuan Xuan passed the menu to Yan Pianran and smiled lightly with the corner of his lips curled up, Miss Yan, do you like western food? Not too bad, Im somewhat influenced by my few years studying overseas. Yuan Xuan nodded and thought about the few years Mu Chenyan spent in Ennd. She constantlyined about how a piece of steak could notpare to hot pot... Yan Pianran finished ordering and it was Yuan Xuans turn. She noticed that Yuan Xuan had ordered two portions and was a little curious, Are there other guestsing overter? Yuan Xuan passed the menu to the waiter and waved his hands towards the entrance, Yes, hes here Yan Pianran turned around and saw Wu Ze walking towards them quickly. Perhaps the man was thirsty when he arrived, as he smiled at Yan Pianran after he sat down, poured himself a cup of water and downed the entire cup. Then, he puckered his lips and spoke, Miss Yan, what a coincidence! Yuan Xuan saw the surprised look on Yan Pianrans face, and he asked calmly, You two know each other? Wu Ze smiled, revealing his shiny white teeth. He blinked his eye charmingly and said, Yes! Yan Pianrans face suddenly turned bright red. Her previous gentle and elegant image was gone as she mumbled, Were far more than that! Were very close! Wu Ze smiled brightly. Yuan Xuan heard it, sighed in relief and nodded, Thats good then, I dont have to worry anymore! Mr. Yuan, what do you mean? Yan Pianran suddenly felt something was wrong. She suppressed her anger and asked with a low voice. Then, she looked at Wu Ze a little vigntly and asked once more, Are you thinking about... Yes, this is my brother, Wu Ze, hes also a single older man. If Miss Yan does not mind, I can introduce both of you to each other... I mind! I mind! They both spoke with one voice. Humph! Yan Pianran gave Wu Ze the cold shoulder. She was born with cute features, so now that she had abandoned her older sister fa?ade, she looked even cuter with an angry expression. Wu Ze looked at Yuan Xuan and had a rough idea of what was going on. He then thought in his heart, as expected, Yuan Xuan was up to no good. He had invited him to lunch out of the blue so that he would take over for him. He wasnt sure when Mu Chenyan would return, and the Yuan Familys Old Mistress must have been pressuring him to get married. Yuan Xuan was being driven into a corner and he could not escape this time, so he asked him for help! Wu Ze could not help butugh when he thought about Yan Pianran. Indeed, it would be troublesome to get on this womans bad side. However, since Yuan Xuan had asked for his help, he would consider it. After all, he had encountered Yan Pianran a few times and she left quite a good impression. Being in a rtionship is all about spending time together. Since both of you are in the same profession, youll have manymon topics in the future. Yuan Xuan was trying his best to y cupid and he looked as though he wanted the best for both of them. Were in the same profession, thats why were enemies! Yan Pianran had a disgusted look on her face, You want me to be together with him? Haha! The woman deliberately ced emphasis on the words haha. Yuan Xuan looked at Wu Ze and signaled for him take the initiative. After all, a man should tolerate a woman even if she openly expressed her disdain. Wu Ze did not seem to be offended, instead, the handsome man smiled at Yan Pianran. Since we dont need to be in court today, lunch is not the time for debate. No matter how much Miss Yan hates me, can we at least finish this meal? Lets not waste Mr. Yuans effort! As he spoke, Wu Ze blinked at Yuan Xuan to show that he was trying. Yuan Xuan had figured something out from their conversation. It seemed like they had faced each other in court once and he had offended her. Nothing good ever came out of Wu Zes mouth. He must have offended her greatly, otherwise, she would not have lost her appetite the moment she saw him. No wonder Wu Ze was still single at the age of 30. Damn it! However, Yuan Xuan felt like Yan Pianran was an excellent match for Wu Ze... The waiter brought the prepared meal over to them on a small trolley. Wu Ze served Yan Pianran like a gentleman as he ced her cutleries and napkin for her. Despite how sharp-tongued Wu Ze was in court, he was, in fact, quite a gentleman. He was not only handsome and aloof but also a gentleman. It was no surprise that he popr with women. Therefore, he had an extremely good reputation among Luo Hais socialites. Although Yan Pianran once took a beating from Wu Ze, he was still Yuan Xuans friend, so she could not ruin his reputation. Wu Ze was very friendly, and he even told Yan Pianran a few jokes. It looked as though he was the main character of this arranged marriage. However, his enthusiasm made Yan Pianran ufortable throughout the entire lunch. The woman looked at Yuan Xuan from time to time with a whining look in her eyes. If Yan Pianran could electrocute someone with her eyes, she would have electrocuted Yuan Xuan just then... In a few days, Ill be taking a trip to Capital City! After they finished eating, Yuan Xuans eyes turned dark for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice, The both of you should keep in contact during this time! Yan Pianran, ... Did he just sell me out? Wu Ze, Dont worry! I wont disappoint you! Yan Pianran, ... Shameless! After they parted ways, Wu Ze sent Yan Pianran home. On the way there, the man was overjoyed. He joked constantly and her spirit was lifted. When they mentioned about Yuan Xuan, Yan Pianran could not help but sigh, she knew that it was an unrequited love. Even so, she did not feel anything towards Wu Ze. At most, she saw him as a friend instead of an enemy. Wu Ze parked his car in front of Yan Pianrans house and looked at the design of the huge building. The building was built in a European style and it blended in with the beautiful surrounding country scenery. It looked solemn yet beautiful. He could not help but sigh, this ancient family had great taste. In addition to Yan Jiangsheng who was a businessman, the majority of the Yan Family were in the education, legal, forensic, and medical professions. Yan Pianrans parents were university professors. It was natural for the daughter of such a family to abide by the rules. This was Wu Zes first visit, so he did not visit her house. Therefore, he waved at Yan Pianran and cheerfully said, Can I have your number? Yan Pianran was stunned and hesitated for a moment. Then, she took her phone out from her bag, unlocked it and passed it to Wu Ze, Save it by yourself! Usually, under such circumstances, the girl would tell you her number and ask you to call her. Then, she would call you back after saving your number. That would happen less than fifty percent of the time. Yan Pianrans move was a sign of sincerity. Wu Ze took her phone and they exchanged numbers. He then smiled at Yan Pianran, The next time we meet in court, Ill have mercy! No need for that! When Yan Pianran heard that he wanted to go easy on her, she was a little unhappy, Youre doubting my ability! Wu Zeughed, and his impression of this girl grew better. Yan Pianran had to go inside her house, so Wu Ze waved her goodbye. He then averted his gaze and his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the number, the smile on his face froze instantly. Wu Ze pressed the ept button and a womans voice came from the other end of the phone, Big Brother Wu, how are you recently? Wu Zes panicking heart shuddered and he cleared his throat, Not bad! You? Me too! Recently, Ive had to go to Capital City to do a few reports. You once told me that you often travel to Capital City for cases, so Im letting you know beforehand. If youreing over, do contact me anytime... Wu Ze was stunned. He immediately recalled that man saying he was about to travel to Capital City for a business trip just now. Capital City was such arge city; it would not be easy for them to bump into each other. Words were stuck in Wu Zes throat and he did not say anything. It would be fate if they were to meet each other. Perhaps, it was impossible to sever all ties between the two of them... Chapter 340 - Even After Three Years, Guo Jingze Still Was Not Over the Way She Looked…

Chapter 340: Even After Three Years, Guo Jingze Still Was Not Over the Way She Looked...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Ze said smilingly, I just went there some time ago, so I wont be going there anytime soon. Why dont youe back to Luo Hai and well meet up here? Mu Chenyan heard the two words Luo Hai and her palms started to sweat. She held her phone and shook her head, I dont think Ill be returning to Luo Hai. Hows my mothertely? Wu Ze knew that she did not dare return to Luo Hai. Furthermore, she was afraid to face her past. After all, the love of her life was here... Fortunately, the doctor said that she has recovered very well and can now eat by herself. However, you know that she lost her senses for many years. Even if she came back to her senses, she might not have memories of the past... Yes, I know! Mu Chenyans voice was shaking slightly. She suppressed the pain in her heart and said in a low voice, Big Brother Wu, thank you for helping me the past few years, thank you... Chenyan, youre being too modest. Yuan Xuan was the one who looked after Aunty Yan all this time! Wu Ze said Yuan Xuans name and he heard her whimper softly. Wu Ze was surprised, and he said softly, Chenyan, why are you torturing yourself? Youre hurting so much just from hearing his name. If you love him, why torment each other? Mu Chenyan who was on the other side of the phone put her hands over her mouth and tears flowed past her cheeks towards her fingers. Chenyan, why wont you give him a chance? This way, youre also giving yourself a chance. Mu Chenyan stopped Wu Ze from speaking further, Big Brother Wu, I cant... I cant face him... Mu Chenyan shut her eyes and her heart was trembling. When she recalled that scene, she could not help but shudder. The scene when Yuan Tangbai was killed was too cruel! Mu Chenyan did not know how much pain Yuan Xuans heart must have felt all these years to forgive the daughter of the man who killed his father... Moreover, she had been foolish enough to believe in Mu Chenwus words and allowed him to distort the truth. At that time, she misunderstood the pain in Yuan Xuans heart. The pain that Yuan Xuan had felt for the past ten years was far greater than hers. How could she act as if nothing had happened and continue to be in Yuan Xuans life? If it was possible, she should use her pain to redeem her sins! After hanging up on the phone, the woman looked outside of the window. It was already autumn, and it had almost been four years since she had left Yuan Xuan... * Capital City Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan would be staying over for a few days and he was overjoyed. Capital City was the Shao Familys territory. Back when Shao Yibai was fooling around in Luo Hai, he had received a warm wee from the people of Luo Hai and had always wanted to return the favor. Yuan Xuan initially nned to stay in a hotel, but Jiao Shufen would not allow him to do so. If youre in Capital City, it means that youve arrived at our doorstep. If rumors of you staying in a hotel spread to the public, who knows what the others would think about your aunt! The Shao Family had a few properties in Capital City and Shao Yibai had already discussed with his mother. He would clean up the two hundred square feet apartment in Shang Ting Yuan for Yuan Xuan to live in temporarily. Jiao Shufen had not seen Yuan Xuan for a few years, and she missed him very much. The night that Yuan Xuan arrived, she invited Yuan Xuan to have dinner at her house and asked someone to prepare a guest room. She only allowed him to return to Shang Ting Yuan after she was done catching up with him. At night, the moon was bright, but there were only a few stars, and the weather in Capital City already had embraced autumns cold breeze. On the balcony of the Shao Familys Mansion, two extremely outstanding men were sitting on the sofa while they sipped red wine and chatted. It has almost been four years already, right? Shao Yibai asked suddenly. Yuan Xuan was stunned for a moment. The stars were shining brightly and there was a hint of surprise in the corner of his eyes, Youre talking about Mu Chenyan? Shao Yibai smiled and did not say anything. Yuan Xuan swirled the ss of wine in his hand and said calmly, Shes been gone for almost four years already! This woman is truly cruel. She hasnt contacted Shu Qingcheng even once. Have you asked her other friends? Yuan Xuans dark eyes contracted slightly, She doesnt have any other friends, except for Yuan Tian. However, Yuan Tian has been taken away by Shen Muqiu. The only way to contact her is through Wu Ze. But, Ive never asked Wu Ze. Im afraid that once she finds out about it, even Wu Ze will not receive any news from her. Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenyan was not being cruel, just that she did not want him to pursue her. Shao Yibai sighed, What do you n to do in the future? Continue looking for her? Shao Yibai knew that no one could stop Yuan Xuan when he set mind straight on something. I dont have any ns. The man smiled faintly, I treat it as my wife throwing a tantrum and went somewhere else to have fun. Once her anger has subsided, naturally shell return! Shao Yibai, ... * Capital Citys Police Academy. The academy invited a well-known ichnology professional in the country, Professor Shen Muchen, to give an academic report. Mu Chenyan was Professor Shen Muchens disciple. She worked as Professor Shens assistant and had learned from him for almost three years. This was their third time going to Capital City for a speech. Mu Chenyans phone rang while she was halfway through preparing the materials needed for the Professors speech the next day. Chenyan, mom knows that youvee to Capital City and she has prepared dinner. Iming to pick you up. Guo Jingze said cautiously, as though he was worried that Mu Chenyan might reject her. Mu Chenyans hand froze for a moment while she held the phone and she said gently, Okay. I did not have time to visit her the previous two times. Coincidently, youre also in Capital City this time for a business trip, so you can apany me there. Guo Jingze was so happy it looked as though he had gotten a reward. He nodded his head repeatedly. Oh right, I still have some materials that I need to prepare for the professor. Im worried that Ill be in a rushter and the malls are about to close. Can you help me get a present for mom? The malls closing was just an excuse. Mu Chenyan knew that her mother-inws side of the family was very demanding, and they were considered a respected noble family in Capital City. Moreover, she did not have any experience in pleasing a mother-inw. She had been married to Guo Jingze for three years, yet she had never personally picked her a present. Guo Jingzi smiled lightly and said, Ive already prepared one, all you need to do ise over. Ill go to your hotel and pick you up at 5? Okay! After hanging up the phone, Mu Chenyan sighed in relief. They had gotten married for their own goals and their marriage was in name only. Nevertheless, they needed to pretend that things were perfect in front of their families. ... Before 5 oclock, Guo Jingzes car was waiting in front of Professor Shens hotel. The handsome man was neither anxious nor irritated. He did not prompt her with phone calls and all he did was wait at the front door quietly. The man looked handsome and elegant, yet his charming features were not sharply defined. He did notck the gentle and modest qualities that the other young men from aristocratic families had. Wherever he went, his easy-going temperament left people feelingfortable. Moreover, he was a man who loved to smile. It was ten past five when Mu Chenyan rushed out of the hotel. The woman was still slender, and her skin was as fair as jade. She had grown out her hair and curled it slightly. When she ran, her hair danced in the wind like a waterfall. She was blushing slightly from fatigue and her eyes turned red from rushing. Then, she said in a low voice, Sorry, Imte. As she spoke, she rubbed the tip of her nose and reached her hands down to smoothen out her dress that had gotten wrinkled from rushing over. It appeared as if she was blushing shyly like a twenty-year-old youngdy. Even after three years, Guo Jingze still was not over the way she looked... Chapter 342 - Shao Yibai’s Intense Malice

Chapter 342: Shao Yibais Intense Malice

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What are the two of you discussing about, so happily? No one knew when Guo Jingze had stood behind the two women. He had changed into light gray leisurewear. Handsome, elegant and graceful as the lustre of jade, every part of him was a disy of excellent upbringing and manners. If his mother did not invite him, he would not take a half-a-step closer. Come over. Its something good. Wu Meiyun was delighted, and her face could not hide her emotions. She tugged at her son and said smilingly, Ive discussed with Xiao Xiao about introducing her to my circle of sisters during a small gathering in a few days. Guo Jingzes expression suddenly shifted. He looked at his mother coldly and suppressed his anger as he spoke, Why didnt you talk to me first? Xiao Xiao doesnt like these kinds of parties. Back when we got married, I told you that Xiao Xiao can choose not to participate in any of the Guo Familys ceremonial events... The Guo Jingze that Mu Chenyan knew had always been gentle and cultured. Even to strangers, he would maintain his manners and be reserved. She could not determine why he was this angry at the moment. When Wu Meiyun saw that her son, who rarely spoke to her in such a tone, had flipped and became hostile towards her just because of her decision to have her daughter-inw attend a party, she was upset. She moved her lips, and there were traces ofints in her eyes, but in the end, she said nothing. Mu Chenyan saw Wu Meiyuns forlorn expression and understood the downheartedness suppressed in the dejected mothers heart. She hurriedly interrupted Guo Jingzes words. Jing Ze, I willingly agreed to attend! Guo Jingze was taken aback. Turning around to look at Mu Chenyan, his mouth opened slightly as he attempted to digest the news. Mu Chenyan nodded, her twinkling eyes made people feel like pouring their love and affection towards her. Mom just won my consent. I think that since weve been married for three years, it wouldnt be a bad thing to meet a few of the aunts around. After all, Im flesh and blood, not the sweet that thats afraid of melting (TN: when you refer to someone as the sweet that youre afraid will melt in your mouth, it means you cherish that person dearly and that nothing more could be added)! Mu Chenyanughed casually as she spoke, while Wu Meiyun looked gratefully at her daughter-inw. When Guo Jingze heard that, he felt somewhat lost and uneasy. If you stay in the Capital City for too long, what about Professor Shen... It shouldnt be a problem. Ill ask him for a few days off! Mu Chenyan was not enthusiastic about this gathering, but knowing that this incident would create a gap between her mother-inw and Guo Jingze, she could not avoid her responsibilities. Guo Jingze could not seem to find any other reason to stop her, so he said inly, Since youve both agreed, then go ahead! If you need any help, Ill have Liu Minge over! Mu Chenyan suspected that Guo Jingze was ten thousand times more reluctant in his heart. Previously, she was the one who did not want to make any public appearances, and Guo Jingzes had always been very supportive of her. Mu Chenyan had regarded that as him respecting her wishes. However, right now, Guo Jingzes mannerisms and expression seemed to indicate that he was disinclined to introduce Mu Chenyan to his circle of friends. Theres no need for that. You just go and settle your affairs. The guards here can take care of it. Wu Meiyuns heart was secretly ted. The moment she returned to her bedroom and before she even had time to talk to Old Man Guo, she first announced the news in her girlfriends group chat. The group chat suddenly came to life, and everyone began talking about it spiritedly. The Guo Familys daughter-inw had been married for three years, but no one had even seen a photo of her, to say nothing of getting a glimpse of her. Guo Jingze had hidden his wife so well, that outsiders began specting that there was a problem with the childs mother. However, out of those who had seen Yan Muyu, there were none who did not boast that the child was beautiful, and looked like a porcin doll. The only thing that no one couldprehend was that the Guo Family had actually agreed to the child using the mothers surname. One had to know that although the Guo Family was not the number one household in the Capital City, it was still, after all, a distinguished family, and the boy was the eldest grandson! This was enough to show how high a position this daughter-inw had in the family. Needless to say, her sisters in the group chat responded enthusiastically to Wu Meiyuns invitation, and they got together the next day to shop for dresses in preparation for the party. ... Jiao Shufen turned over the house but did not find any suitable dress. She looked into the mirror andmented that she had put on 10 pounds of weight,ining that the years were not forgiving. When Shao Yibai came back from the outside and saw his mother putting on a green cheongsam, his eyes shone brightly, and hemented smilingly, Big beauty, what tricks are you up to? Tricks my foot! Show some respect! Jiao Shufen tried it on, but she was still dissatisfied. Sheined, The day after tomorrow is your Aunt Mei Yuns family party. Shes going to present to us her daughter-inw. How can I attend without any clothes? Shao Yibai looked at the seven or eight wardrobes around the house that were full of clothes, yet her mother was stillining about being nude. He could not help but remark, This woman is really... Even if there were a thousand pieces of clothes here, shed still feel like she had none. Oh right, what did you say just now? Aunt Mei Yun wants to introduce her daughter-inw? Shao Yibai also knew Guo Jingze. He was aware that Guo Jingze had a shotgun marriage a few years back, and a smile emerged in his heart. He actually got himself a wife? Wasnt there a rumor going around in the Capital City saying that hes sick? Sensing her sons intense malice, Jiao Shufen tapped Shao Yibai on the forehead. What sickness? Dont listen to those rumors! When you were young, you were wild and always bullied him. Now that he has a wife and child, why dont take a look at yourself! Being tapped on the head, Shao Yibai felt very displeased in his heart. He replied with an ambiguous tone, Its not like you dont have a daughter-inw but that when she was right in front of you, you didnt cherish her! Jiao Shufen knew that Shao Yibai still held a grudge against her because of Su Qingcheng. The mother and son quickly ended the topic. Youre to attend the gathering the day after tomorrow too. Now that Jingze has grown up, youve got to show some manners and not bully him! Listening to his mothers arrangement, Shao Yibai could not help butugh. Look at how old we are. Do you think Ill ride on his shoulders and beat him up? Since its a gathering, Ill invite Yuan Xuan too. I hear that among your girlfriends, some of their daughters are still waiting to get married. I could seize this opportunity and maybe persuade that bullheaded fool to find a good woman! Hearing that, Jiao Shufen sighed, How thoughtful of you. Quick, give Yuan Xuan a call! Yuan Xuan received a phone call from Shao Yibai, inviting him to attend the party, but he declined. Its my first time in the Capital City, and I dont know any people in the circle you mentioned. Shao Yibai already knew that Yuan Xuan would not join in the festivities. He smiled lightly. Youll get acquainted with them once youre present. Speaking of which, Old Man Guo has some ties with the Yuan Family. When Yuan Xuan heard that he pondered for a moment, Do you mean Guo Haisheng? Yuan Xuan recalled that among his fathers formerrades, one of them held a post in the Capital City. Before he retired, although the Guo Family did not send someone over, they would send gifts every year. The Old Mistress once said that if there was ever an opportunity, he should go to the Capital City to requite their gifts. Alright, Ill go! Yuan Xuan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart... Chapter 343 - Third Young Master Yuan Is Here

Chapter 343: Third Young Master Yuan Is Here

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wu Meiyun began to make the preparations on her end; from the hotel to the banquet specifications, from the reception to the clothing and the line of propriety gifts, she single-handedly managed it all for two days. When Mu Chenyan saw the dress sent by her mother-inw, everything instantly became clear. The dress had been prepared long beforehand, and this party was definitely not an idea that just popped up in Wu Meiyuns head recently. Because Mu Chenyan did not want to live in the Guo Family Mansion, Wu Meiyun sent her son away to go apany Mu Chenyan at the hotel. She thought that Guo Jingze would stay in the same hotel as Mu Chenyan. On the morning of the third day, Wu Meiyun called her son and asked him toe over with Mu Chenyan. Guo Jingze replied without much thinking, Im going to pick her up at Huajing Grand Hotel, so Ill be a littlete! Wu Meiyun was surprised. Didnt you stay together with Xiao Xiao? Guo Jingze was on the phone as he came out of the washroom. Walking to the balcony, what entered his eyes was the panoramic view of the Capital City. He knew that it was a slip of the tongue. Last night, Hua Jing Grand Hotel had a reception group and the rooms were full, so he did not stay there but at a five-star hotel two kilometers away from Hua Jing. No, I had dinner after a meetingst night, and I drank too much, so I stayed over here... Seriously, how could you over drink with those people? You left Xiao Xiao alone in the room. What will she think of that? You shouldnt do this in the future! Wu Meiyun was very reasonable. Thinking of the fact that her daughter-inw was unfamiliar with the people and ces in the Capital City, she somewhat med her son. Guo Jingze hung up the phone and slumped onto a chair dejectedly. The oriental white shattered as a ray of sunshine broke through the morning, giving off a glorious radiance instantly. The mans heart was filled with grievances, but there was no ce to vent. He and Mu Chenyan had always been sleeping apart in their respective rooms. ... Wu Meiyun had said that it was a small-sized gathering with her girlfriends. After Mu Chenyan arrived, only then did she realize that she had underestimated the small size that her mother-inw meant. The Guo Family was rather prominent among the Capital Citys sphere of powerful people. Although Old Master Guo had retired, his prestige still remained, and he had many friends and subordinates too. Wu Meiyun was also an outgoing person, and she maintained close contact with thedies in her social circle. Hence, when the people heard that Old Wu was going to showcase her daughter-inw, coupled with the fact that this mysterious cold beauty was someone they had long yearned to have a glimpse of, all those who received the invitation card showed up. The family members who were simr to Guo Jingzes age were also brought along. They had the same thinking as Shao Yibai; if there were any family with the right candidate, at least they would be of the same social circle, and one should keep the goodies within the family so as to not benefit outsiders. The banquet was organized in the grand hall of the Emperors Restaurant. It was not yet six in the evening, but Wu Meiyun had already led Mu Chenyan to wee the guests at the entrance. Mu Chenyan applied a light makeup today, and her seaweed-like dense, ck hair was tied up high. Guo Jingze had chosen a set of blue diamond essories for her. With Mu Chenyans already fair skin, just a casual dress up would be able to bring out her charm. The luminescence of the blue diamond had a noble and mysterious air to it, making her look like an elegant white swan. The group of friends and rtives who had never seen Mu Chenyan were full of praises. Old Wu, youve been keeping such a beautiful daughter-inw away from us for years. How could you be this mean? Yeah, its said that Old Wu is a low-key person, but isnt this too low profile? Wu Meiyuns face bloomed like a flower as people poured out their admirations, and she responded to each of them non-stop. After standing for a while, almost all the guests had arrived. Wu Meiyun began to bring Mu Chenyan around the venue to give a toast to the bunch of distant rtives, and as the saying goes, where there were many women, there would be ceaseless talks. Mu Chenyan was already well-prepared, and she answered each of them one by one. Suddenly, a fruit te identally slipped from a waiters hand, and it fell to the ground, sttering the puree onto Mu Chenyan. Its alright. Theres a spare dress at the back lounge. You can change into that. Wu Meiyun had witnessed such an incident countless times, so she had everything prepared beforehand. She quickly pulled Mu Chenyan over andforted her. Mu Chenyan nodded lightly, apologized to the people around, and walked away to change. As soon as Mu Chenyan left, three more people arrived at the venue. Jiao Shufen appeared with Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan, causing most of the peoples gaze to be affixed on them. There was no need to mention the Shao Familys reputation in the Capital City. Shao Yibai was the type of person to have a magnesium light ring shining on him wherever he went; on the other hand, the person who stood beside Shao Yibai was somewhat mysterious to the Capital Citys socialites! Its the Third Young Master of the Yuan Family in Luo Hai... Someone immediately recognized this outstanding man to be the heir of the Yuan Family. Ive heard about him for a long time. Todays my first time seeing him, and he really doesnt look ordinary... The Yuan Family has dominated the Southeast area for many years. Could his presence now at the Capital City mean that they are nning to switch their battlefield? ... The peoplesments and attention quickly caused Jiao Shufens trio to be the center of attraction. For Yuan Xuan, he had long been used to this kind of attention. The expression in the mans eyes was indifferent and courteous. He presented his gift to Wu Meiyun. Wu Meiyun was also somewhat ttered. In the early years, when Guo Haisheng was working with Yuan Tangbai, the man was still a baby. Right now though, he was already all grown-up and could assume personal responsibilities, walking tall in all areas. Now that he was personally present, Wu Meiyun suddenly felt that she had neglected her formalities. Shufen, you couldve informed me. I had no idea Third Young Master Yuan is around, otherwise, Id surely send a personal invitation! Jiao Shufenined of some dissatisfaction, Dont talk about inviting personally. The invitation card you gave me had the wrong address printed on it. We wasted an hour on the road and were even caught up in the evening rush hour. Hearing that, Wu Meiyun was rmed. Hows that possible? She took the invitation card from Jiao Shufen and at a nce, it was indeed misprinted! There were three Emperors Restaurants in the Capital City, and the address on Jiao Shufens card was 5 kilometers away from this one they were at. At that time, she only knew from the group chat that there would be a party, but she did not take note which of the three branches it was held at. Jiao Shufen ordered the driver to send them to the address, but upon arriving, the restaurant said that there was no party going on. She then hurriedly called others, only to find out that it was here. Wu Meiyun was very sorry for this mix-up. The invitation cards were sent out by Guo Jingze. I dont know how something like this could happen... Wu Meiyun was extremely puzzled. The cards were all printed together at the same time, so how could there be such a mistake? Jingze? Shao Yibai did not see him after scanning the room, not to mention the bride who was three yearste! ... Mu Chenyan had changed her dress, but just as she was about to go out, she was suddenly stopped by the man waiting at the door. Jingze, why are you here? Mu Chenyan walked out and curiously watched Guo Jingze at the same time. Guo Jingzes expression was dark. He suddenly said, Third Young Master Yuan is here! The moment Mu Chenyan heard that line, it was like she was struck by lightning. She stared at Guo Jingze, her mouth opened but no sound came out of it. If you go outside, you can see him now! Guo Jingzes voice was cold. Do you want to? Mu Chenyan felt ice-cold. It was like she could not hear any of the noise on the outside. One wall apart; that man was standing over the other side, shining with glorious splendor... If you dont want to see him,e with me! Guo Jingze said ndly. It was he who asked the waiter in the hall to deliberately stain her skirt. He did not want Mu Chenyan to cross path with Yuan Xuan. You want to take me away? Mu Chenyan was in a state of confusion at this time. She did not know what to do. Her first reaction, of course, was to escape, but when she heard that mans name, it was as if the soles of her feet were nailed to the ground. Xiao Xiao? Havent you finished changing yet? before Guo Jingze had answered, Wu Meiyuns voice travelled in, and she was already at the door. Mu Chenyan noticed Guo Jingze had be extremely anxious all of a sudden, but he only gazed coldly at Mu Chenyan. When you see him, will you go with him? There was no such concept in Mu Chenyans mind. Her small hand sped her dress, saying nothing. Her breath was rapid, and her heart was racing madly. A voice kept echoing in her ears over and over again C the man you love is just in the hall next door... When Wu Meiyun came in and saw his son there, she put the me on him. Better hurry up. Theres a new guest Id like to introduce to you! Mu Chenyan definitely knew who this new guest was... Xiao Xiao,e with me now! Wu Meiyun ignored Guo Jingzes pale face and pulled Mu Chenyan, leading her outside. Mu Chenyans legs were stiff. She had no idea how she moved to the hall with Wu Meiyun. Right before entering the hall, Guo Jingze suddenly rushed over from behind. Grabbing her waist, his eyes reddened as he spoke in a low voice, Ill personally introduce him to you! Mu Chenyan had a feeling that Guo Jingze was unwilling to do so in actual fact! Shao Yibai was bored as he waited for Guo Jingze toe out so that he could tease him. Suddenly, he spotted the once fair little boy was now tall and sturdy, disying an imposing manner. More importantly, looking at the woman in his embrace, why did she look familiar? That woman... Shao Yibai tugged at Yuan Xuan and spoke no more. Yuan Xuan looked at the direction Shao Yibai was pointing at. He did not know Guo Jingze, but the woman beside him, Yuan Xuan could probably still identify her even if she turned into ashes! Mu Chenyan!! Chapter 344 - The Moist Lips Came Pressing Down…

Chapter 344: The Moist Lips Came Pressing Down...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans gaze was like shes of lightning streaking across the sky. It was so piercing cold that people could not look straight into his eyes. Mu Chenyans legs felt like they were loaded with lead as she mechanically moved her feet. Every step she made, it was as if she could hear her footsteps pounding on her hearts door. That... is really Mu... Before Shao Yibai could finish his words, the corner of his shirt was yanked by Yuan Xuan. Shao Yibai was not a fool. In the end, he did not finish saying Mu Chenyans name. Shao Yibai shifted his gaze and swept across Yuan Xuan. Seeing Yuan Xuans calm, non-perturbed, and steady expression, Shao Yibai silently gave him 10086 likes in his heart. F*ck! He truly was Third Young Master Yuan! He had been searching for his wife whom he yearned for day and night. Now that she was right in front him, he could actually manage to be this calm still. This level of performance really showed how exceedingly strong his psychological state was ... This is the Guo Familys house party. It wont be nice to create chaos. Yuan Xuan really was someone that thought ahead! The man stared straight at Mu Chenyan. The little face that he could not stop thinking about for thousands of days and nights was, at this moment, flushing red and white non-stop. The woman who was trying to hide her uneasiness mechanically smiled and greeted Jiao Shufen, and then she was forced to look at Yuan Xuan. Xiao Xiao, this is the Shao Familys grandson, Shao Yibai. He was one of Ze Zes best ymates when they were young! When Shao Yibai was being introduced to her, Mu Chenyan stared nkly at Shao Yibai and greeted him with a smile, Hello... Shao Yibai responded with a smile as he sneaked a peek at Yuan Xuans face. Somber, strange, ironic... Xiao Xiao? No wonder even after searching for a few years, he still could not find her. She had changed her name. With the Guo Family protecting her in the background, one could be sure that she would only hide deeper. This is Third Young Master from Luo Hai... Whatever Wu Meiyun said after that, none of the words entered Mu Chenyans ears. It was an absurd scene. She had acted lovey-dovey with Yuan Xuan before, fought, kissed, and gone to bed with him. They had had the nearest negative distance in the world, and they could not have gotten more intimate than that... Now that they were in front of each other, they had to pretend to be strangers and even be introduced to each other by others. Wu Meiyun and Jiao Shufen saw that it was all young people here, and went to look for their other sisters after introducing one another, leaving the four who were slightly awkward together. Mrs Guo looks very much like an old friend of mine! Yuan Xuan suddenly spoke up, his eyes looking sharply at Mu Chenyan as if he was trying to find some ws on her face. Oh? Im very curious. Which old friend of Mr Yuan does my missus resemble? Mu Chenyan had not opened her mouth, but Guo Jingze on the side took over the conversation and emphasized the words my missus, proiming dominion. Mu Chenyan felt Guo Jingzes hand on her waist tighten, and she looked down ufortably. When Yuan Xuan heard Guo Jingzes deration, his brows knitted closely together. However, he still maintained his good manners. Looking into the distance, a smile emerged in the corner of his lips as he inly said, My missus! Guo Jingzes hand trembled. Even Mu Chenyan looked up at Yuan Xuan with surprised. This was the Guo Familys house party. Was Yuan Xuan going to expose her identity here? My missus is very mischievous. She likes to be lovey-dovey, acts dumb, and sometimes even throws a tantrum... but she has always been my darling! Ill forgive her no matter whatever wrongs shesmitted... Yuan Xuans dark pupils glowed as he gazed steadily Mu Chenyan. Then where did your missus go? Guo Jingze pretended to ask as he looked at Mu Chenyan in his arms. His breath was somewhat unstable. She has been away from me for almost four years! Yuan Xuan looked into Mu Chenyans eyes with deep affection as he spoke. He continued, Ive always thought that she had just lost her way while going out to y and that she should be home soon... Until one day I found out that my beloved darling had been picked up by others! Guo Jingze was speechless Mu Chenyan was lost for words as well. Shao Yibai immediately gave a thumbs up to Yuan Xuan in his heart for this wave of flirtation. You the man, Third Young Master Yuan. He actually discreetly showered the others who were single with his public disy of affection. From the beginning, Mu Chenyan did not have a chance to say anything. To be exact, she was making sounds of whimpering. Her throat felt salty, and she could not talk to Yuan Xuan casually as if nothing had happened. Shao Yibai suddenly pulled Guo Jingze over and deliberately shouted, Many are saying that since youve been hiding your missus for three years, you should be punished with three cups of wine. Youve got no way of escaping it. Shao Yibai dragged Guo Jingze to one side as he dered this. Guo Jingze was unable to resist Shao Yibai, but he could not help but worry about Mu Chenyan, so he kept looking back as he walked. He sensed something unusual as he looked at Mu Chenyan. Xiao Xiao... Guo Jingze eyes reddened and he reminded her softly, Remember our agreement! Mu Chenyans body trembled. The persistence and viciousness in Yuan Xuans eyes struck her like shes of lightning as if they were questioning, What pact have you made with him? Mu Chenyans eyes became misty. She turned around and strode in the direction of the washroom. This space felt so oppressive that it was suffocating her. She hid in a corner and shivered, breaking into tears, but she did not dare to make any sound. Tears flowed uncontrobly between her fingers! She thought that by leaving, time would make her forget everything, but she did not expect that leaving would only make them all the more memorable. The moment she saw Yuan Xuan, she heard a voice in her heart screaming, Go over and hug him... She loved him; there was no doubt about it! Even if he did not say those affectionate words, she still would have wanted to hug him without any regards... However, she could not do that. Those cruel facts were like a ravine separating her and Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan clearly remembered the video Mu Chenwu left her. The malicious man was smiling as if his ns had prevailed, and he called her Princess Xi Fan... To her, Yuan Xuan was close at hand but still far beyond the horizon. ... Looking into the mirror in the washroom, the woman took four to five deep breaths. Only then did she manage to suppress the intense tremor that had surged from the bottom of her heart. She touched up her make-up so that she did not look like she was in a sorry state. As she had just cried, there was a kind of charm on her that would make people want to love her tenderly when they see her. Being a cowardly turtle was not the solution. After touching up her make-up, Mu Chenyan exited the washroom. She had just stepped out when she saw the handsome man leaning against the wall. His whole head was buried within the wafting tobo smoke. His figure had a kind of decadent beauty along with a sinister air. Such a man had a high level of lethality. Mu Chenyan instantly stopped in her tracks, and a kind of desire arose from her thumping heart... When he saw that Mu Chenyan had finallye out of the bathroom, the man threw the cigarette butt away and strode over to her. Unlike the quiet and self-controlled person in the hall just now, he was currently like a raging lion. His scarlet eyes alerted her that this man had lost his reasoning at this time. Mu Chenyan took a step back in fear, Yuan Xuan... Before her words had faltered, her slim waist was embraced by him. The man held her head, and his burning lips came pressing down... Mmm... Mu Chenyan only heard herself making a sobbing sound when her tongue was tangled with his. He pushed her against the wall and wantonly robbed her fragrance.

Chapter 345: Its Been A Few Years... Will it Hurt?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He nibbled her earlobe and tugged at it with some force. Tell me... All these years... how could you bear to let me wait alone bitterly... Now youve actually be Mrs. Guo!! Speaking of Mrs. Guo, Yuan Xuan bit her again. The pain made Mu Chenyan want to cry. Was Yuan Xuans Chinese zodiac a dog? No, he was a tiger to be exact! Yuan Xuan... You know that Im... Mrs. Guo... yet youre still acting this way! Mu Chenyan could not find a reason to reject him. She could only plead softly under his offense. Let me go... I cant stay by your side... The womans tone became coquettish as she whined. Her gaze was gentle like water, and her sobbing manner made her looked like a kitten. Her small hands sped his sleeves, and her bright and beautiful face caused the man to wish for nothing but to swallow her up. Mr Yuan felt a pain in his lower abdomen. The man in his 30s had been a full-time monk for four years, but now the beauty was in his arms. The passionate kisses were able to satisfy his upper part, but his bottom part was discontented... Protest! Protest! Protest... Mu Chenyan was too familiar with this look of Yuan Xuans, and those lingering nights shed continuously in her eyes! Chenyan... Chenyan... Yuan Xuan mumbled continuously. He picked her up all of a sudden and headed toward the elevator. The hall was on the third floor of the hotel and upstairs was the suite. Yuan Xuan carried Mu Chenyan and covered her head with hisrge jacket. The people in the elevator could not see who the woman in his arms was. At the door of the penthouse, Yuan Xuan called Shao Yibai on the phone, Request for me a penthouse suite! The moment Shao Yibai heard that, he eximed, Savage! I like it! When Mu Chenyan heard that however, she was scared to death. She clutched his shirt, pleading, Yuan Xuan... Are you out of your mind... What happens when the Guo Family finds out? Yuan Xuan sneered, Do you think I dont know? Youre not married to Guo Jingze at all! Even if the two of you were, the one he registered with was Yan Xiao! Im sleeping with Mu Chenyan, so what does it have anything to do with him? Mu Chenyan was lost for words. The logic of a brainiac was really out of this world... Shao Yibai moved quickly. Five minutester, the room service waiter approached Yuan Xuan with the room card. He gave the two a meaningful look and dared not say anything. The room was spacious. After closing the door, all the noises on the outside were cut off. Mu Chenyan was extremely nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat pounding. The mans nose was only one centimeter away from her. The smell of tobo made her frown. Not knowing how to escape, the woman whispered, Take... Take a shower first... He knew she was deliberately dying! Ive waited for four years, what more another few minutes? Ill wait for you! Yuan Xuan entered the bathroom after finishing his words. . While undressing, he warned, If you dare to escape, Ill do you to death when I catch you! Mu Chenyan paled. She cursed in her heart. Was she the only one who could witness this mans bandit leader persona? What happened to the so-called gentleman? Ten minutester, when the man came out, he was only using one towel to wipe his hair... Its your turn! Yuan Xuan reminded the dazed woman. What?! What happened to the towel that was supposed to be wrapped around the waist? Mu Chenyan saw its strutting manner, and her heart almost jumped to her throat. Her head was spinning and her legs were feeble. After dilly-dallying for almost half an hour, Mu Chenyan felt that she would be standing him up were she to continue washing herself. Mu Chenyan!! Yuan Xuans voice came through the door. From the shadow seen behind the frosted ss, Mu Chenyan knew that the man was getting impatient. She hurriedly wrapped a bath towel around herself while her hair was still dripping with water. Seeing that the woman had finally decided toe out, a trace of warmth shed through his gloomy eyes. Wearing a bathrobe, he pulled her over and sat her down by the bed. He then took the hairdryer to blow her hair. It was just like back then in Hibiscus Garden... The great shock in Mu Shenyans heart made her quiver involuntary, and her shoulders trembled. The sound of the hairdryer stopped, but the man did not take his fingers out of her hair. Little Chenyan... Yuan Xuan muttered. His gentle lips descended non-stop on the top of her head, coupled with some warm liquids... Mu Chenyan trembled intensely. She suddenly reached out to hug Yuan Xuans waist, crying till she was out of breath. She uttered, Ive never... slept with... Guo Jingze... Yuan Xuan was taken aback! Was she telling him that she had always belonged to him? Mu Chenyan did not know why she would make such a remark at this time. In any case, she had cried herself into a strip of a fool! Why was it a strip? This was because she had been stripped naked by Yuan Xuan... Youre indeed a fool! Yuan Xuan could not help but be surprised and delighted. An inexplicable warmth filled his heart, Youre mine. All of you is mine! Mu Chenyans eyes were red and swollen from crying. Yuan Xuan pecked at her tears bit by bit before finally stopping on her plump red lips. As she had just cried, her nose was still blocked. With her mouth now locked in a kiss, Mu Chenyan felt like she suffocating... This was not the most fatal thing. What was worse were those restless hands of his that were igniting fire all over... At the most critical moment, Yuan Xuan suddenly stopped and asked her softly, Its been a few years. Would you be not used to it? Will it hurt? When Mu Chenyan heard that, she was stupefied. She did not expect Yuan Xuan to ask such a question. Her face reddened, and her fair skin turned crimson in color. I... I dont know... Yuan Xuan frowned and experimented gently with his hand. Letting out a sigh of relief, the next second (could not be described. This was a harmonious society.. Something harmonious happened...) ... Sure enough, as Yuan Xuan had said, it had been a few years, so she was somewhat unused to it. Twice had he caused Mu Chenyan toy on the bed panting and exhausted. However, after the pleasure dissipated, a sense of guilt arose from the bottom of her heart. Guo Jingze was downstairs. She could not help but wonder how he would look for her. She had abandoned her current husband to make love with Yuan Xuan. The immoral condemnation suddenly pulled her back to her senses! Where are you going? Yuan Xuan saw she had got up from the bed, put on her dress, and was about to rush out. He stopped her abruptly. Are you sure you want to go out in this manner? Mu Chenyan looked at herself. The evening dress itself was rather exposed. Where the dress could not cover, the skin was marked with hickeys. She shook her head andmented, What am I to do? Guo Jingze... rify the matter with him! Im taking you away! Yuan Xuans tone was beyond discussion! The beams of golden light in his eyes caused Mu Chenyan to be dazed. Not waiting for her to speak, the man coldlymented, Youre indeed the daughter of my enemy, but youre not the one whomitted those killings! Ive lost my parents and my loved ones. Shouldnt youpensate me for all the suffering Ive been through all these years? Mu Chenyan was lost for words. Not only didnt you redeem yourself, but youve also taken my wife away from me, causing me to live alone in an empty house. How could you? Mu Chenyan was bereft of speech. If I were you, I wouldve yielded myself and stuck to my hubby every day, showing him great concern and warming the bed for him every night to wash away the sins of my father. How could I dare to escape? Are you stupid? Mu Chenyan was at a loss for words. Dont... Dont you hate me? Her mind was confused by Yuan Xuans out-of-this-world logic. Mu Chenyan felt that she was really an absolute fool as she asked stupidly. Chapter 346 - I Will Definitely Take Drastic Measures

Chapter 346: I Will Definitely Take Drastic Measures

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan chuckled. Yes, I hated you very much! Mu Chenyan, ... I kept you close to me like a ve and refused to let you leave my side because I hated you... Mu Chenyan was so touched that she broke down. It did not matter if she looked like an idiot now. After all, she had never considered herself an intelligent person... Yuan Xuan... For a really long time... I med myself... I became depressed and wanted to die... Whenever I thought of those people who died in Xi Fan that year... I felt that their miserable souls could never rest in peace... Mu Chenyan wrapped her arms around Yuan Xuans shoulders. Her entire body trembled as she cried. Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenwu would never let her have an easy conscience. That man was skilled in manipting other peoples minds. He had forced her to see something that gued her with inner demons. Little Chenyan, are you stupid? Those people died during the war. Did you kill any of them with your own hands? No! She was merely an embryo at that time... Nobody gets to choose their parents, Yuan Xuan consoled his wife. Mu Feng became infertile due to his injuries during the war. When Yan Mei became pregnant, he knew that the child was conceived when Yan Mei slept with Ze Da while she was drugged. His warped mental state made him insane. During the final wave of attacks, he rebelled without any hesitation. He coborated with the external forces from within and aimed his gun at hisrade... Little Chenyan, its over. None of the guilty parties managed to escape their punishment. Why must you keep tormenting me? Yuan Xuans gaze became deste when he said this. He truly seemed hurt. Mu Chenyan felt her chest tighten. She knew that he missed that child. The words nearly left her mouth, but she was too afraid to speak up. Yuan Xuan draped the clothes over Mu Chenyans shoulders. He insisted, I dont care about the things that happened between you and Guo Jingze, but your rtionship with him ends here. Ill give you three days to work this out. I wont do anything if you solve this problem on your own, but Ill definitely take drastic measures if you fail! Mu Chenyan immediately felt as though her heart had risen to her throat. * Guo Jingze was suddenly struck by a bad feeling when he failed to see Mu Chenyan in the hall. Shao Yibai had only stalled him for half an hour, but that was enough time for Yuan Xuan to whisk Mu Chenyan away. He was too afraid to disturb his mother. He repeatedly called Mu Chenyan until her cell phone turned itself off because it was dead. Guo Jingze viewed the surveince footage and discovered that Yuan Xuan had carried Mu Chenyan into his suite. Guo Jingze was not an idiot. He obviously knew what she had done when she disappeared for two hours. The enraged mans face became twisted as he had nowhere to vent his fury. He was forced to suppress his anger during an event like this. Wu Meiyun became slightly suspicious when she did not see Mu Chenyan once the banquet had ended. Guo Jingze frantically consoled his mother, saying, Xiao Xiao was feeling unwell so I told Liu Ming to send her to the hotel. Ill bring her back to the mansion tomorrow! Wu Meiyun had misgivings about this, but she decided to just see the guests to the door. Mu Chenyan charged her phone once she returned to the hotel. Her heart suddenly jerked when she saw that she had over a hundred missed calls and new messages. She was about to return the calls when she heard a knock at the door. She looked through the peephole and saw that Guo Jingze was outside. The man looked like he was in a bad mood. Mu Chenyan could tell that he already had several drinks. Mu Chenyan was always very vignt. She knew that it would be very dangerous to be in a closed space with a furious man in this situation. She left the door chain fastened as she quietly consoled him, saying, Jingze, I know that you want to talk to me. Can youe back tomorrow instead? I want to talk to you tonight! The intimidating look that filled Guo Jingzes face was very unlike his usual self. Mu Chenyan was fully aware that Guo Jingze would not leave until they settled thispletely. Alright, you can wait for me at the coffee shop downstairs. Ill be there once Ive changed. Guo Jingze suppressed his rage and gruffly replied, Fine! ... Mu Chenyan changed into some rxing casual wear and tied her hair into a ponytail. She entered the coffee shop and saw Guo Jingze sitting in the corner with a dejected look on his face. For a moment, he had seemingly aged significantly. He also looked like this when she first saw him three years ago. Mu Chenyan sat on the opposite side of Guo Jingze. Although they had referred to each other as husband and wife for three years, it was rare for them to have serious conversations like this. Chenyan, are you nning on leaving me? Guo Jingze and Mu Chenyan looked directly at each other for several minutes before the man suddenly broke the silence. The womans face was flushed while love bites could be faintly seen below her cor. This filled the man with a jealous rage. He desperately wanted to rush over and grab his wifes neck so that he could cover those marks with his own... Mu Chenyan lowered her head. She murmured, Jingze, you know that I love him... What am I then? Was I just a pawn that you used? Was I nothing but a stupid cuckold? Guo Jingzes face turned hideous when he contorted his features. The unrestrained volume of his voice caused the people around them to be momentarily curious. They shifted their gazes toward him. Mu Chenyan felt extremely embarrassed. She red at Guo Jingze before she calmly said, Jingze, if Im not mistaken, youre in love with a graduate student named Wei Guo. Hes the most important person to you. Our rtionship was merely an agreement! Chapter 347 - A Broken Heart

Chapter 347: A Broken Heart

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Guo Jingzes hands trembled uncontrobly when Mu Chenyan finished speaking. When Guo Jingze raised his head, Mu Chenyan noticed an indescribable pain in his bloodshot eyes. He messed up his matted hair as his mental state became more irritated and enraged. He was usually a gentle and well-mannered man. However, Mu Chenyan believed that this side of Guo Jingze represented his true self. She saw Guo Jingze for the first time at the entrance of a bar in City A three years ago. He looked simrly dejected as he stumbled around while carrying a bottle of alcohol. His voice was hoarse while his gaze seemed misted over. If other people did not look carefully at the expensive clothes that covered him from head to toe, they would assume that he was merely a downtrodden drunkard. At that time, Mu Chenyan was exhausted from walking. She felt as though her body might copse at any time because she was pregnant. She stood at the entrance of the bar. Although the environment there was unsuitable for her, she had no choice but to sit on one of the two public chairs that were several meters away from Guo Jingze so that she could rest. When he saw her, Guo Jingze suddenly staggered over and sat on the opposite side of her. He stared at Mu Chenyan with his beautiful glistening eyes. He gently murmured, Miss, do you know what the most painful thing in the world is? Mu Chenyan turned away and ignored the drunkard when she saw him. She would leave once her legs were well rested. Guo Jingze noticed the calm expression on her face. He leisurely continued, I have money... I have status... My parents love me very much. Take a guess. Why am I in such pain? Mu Chenyan faintly smiled when she heard this. She gently said, You have a broken heart. Guo Jingze instantly sobered up when he heard those words. He lifted his head from the table and attentively gazed at Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, he broke out into a tearfulugh. He repeated the phrase, saying, Yes, a broken heart... Im broken-hearted... For some reason, Mu Chenyan was not disgusted by the man before her. On the contrary, she felt very sympathetic toward him. Where do you live? Should I call you a cab and get you home? Guo Jingze leaned on the table and wept like a child. Mu Chenyan was filled withpassion when she saw him like that. She could not personally send him home, but she could call him a cab at least. Guo Jingze kept crying. He took his cell phone out of his pocket and showed Mu Chenyan a picture. His swollen red eyes did not hinder his attractiveness. The handsome and dashing man sounded rather angry and dejected now. He mumbled, This person was my lover, but our love was destined to be rejected by the world... Mu Chenyan nced at the image and silently nodded. It was a picture of a sturdy young man with a nice smile and smooth white skin. They called me a monster... It was impossible for me to remain in my original circle... They would look down on me... Guo Jingze sobbed as he spoke. He took his phone back and muttered, Wei Guo, I thought we promised to carry this burden together... Mu Chenyan realized that the man before her had probably suffered a break-up. She was reluctant to engage in a conversation with a drunk person. She got up and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Guo Jingze rose as well and gently tugged at Mu Chenyanspel. Mu Chenyan took several steps backward in fear. She sternly rebuked him, saying, What the hell are you doing? She instinctively rubbed her lower abdomen that had recently started protruding. Only then did Guo Jingze realize that she was pregnant. He sensed that his actions were extremely rude. This young man actually had a good upbringing. Suddenly, he was gued by uneasiness. Im sorry! I had no bad intentions... I... The panicked look in his eyes truly made him resemble a guilty child. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and murmured, I just wanted to talk to someone... Mu Chenyan let her guard down slightly because she already knew that he was gay. However, she was still too afraid to get close to a drunkard. After all, a drunk person could act out at any moment. Guo Jingze probably realized this. He pointed at a nearby coffee shop and quietly said, This ce is too cold to sit down for long periods of time. That ce is warmer and there are more people too... Ill show you my identification card. Im not a bad person... Guo Jingze actually took his wallet out when he said this. Mu Chenyan took his identification card out. She looked at the picture on the card and the man before her. She gradually felt relieved when she confirmed that he was not lying. She was also in a downtrodden state currently. She had not spoken to anyone these past few days as she roamed about. The pair entered the coffee shop. One of them walked in front while the other trailed behind. Guo Jingze ordered a ss of freshly squeezed fruit juice for Mu Chenyan. He even reminded the server to heat it up for her. Meanwhile, he ordered a cup of coffee for himself. Mu Chenyan was a good listener. As Guo Jingze rambled on about his experiences, Mu Chenyan discovered that he had grown up in Capital Citys militarypound. In other words, he had led a privileged life. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was also an only child who was deeply loved by his parents. He could have joined the military and trained there for several years if he desired. As he was highly educated, a high position with a handsome sry was already in store for him. However, this was his exact problem. His parents wanted him to join the military, but he took pleasure in a free and unrestrained life. He ended up arguing with his parents. When this happened, he met a man called Wei Guo. These two men met each other through an online game before they took their friendship to the real world. Guo Jingze was surprised when he discovered that he liked men. Wei Guo was a student at that time. Guo Jingze funded Wei Guos education ever since they established that they were in a romantic rtionship. Unfortunately, this news quickly reached his parents because they had numerous connections in Capital City. They were severely against this because he was their only son. Rumors began spreading quickly throughout Capital City as well. These incidents were not rare, but there were only a few cases where they openly acknowledged it. The Guo Family would also risk universal condemnation because of their status and influence. Unable to stand the pressure, Guo Jingze left Capital City and came to City A instead. Mu Chenyan pitied Guo Jingze because she had nowhere to go either. Her sympathy turned into trust and she decided to share some of her problems with Guo Jingze as well. Unlike Guo Jingze, Mu Chenyan did not hold any grudges. She med herself for everything and wanted to repent. A broken heart was one of the most painful experiences in life, but this woman seemed rather indifferent to it. Her heart was not crushed by these miserable feelings and she refused to be dispirited about her uncertain future. She told Guo Jingze about her depression. However, she would actively seek treatment for the sake of her baby... Guo Jingze was in awe of this chilly but beautiful woman before him. Can I have your number? Guo Jingze cautiously asked before he left. Mu Chenyan was merely wandering around City A alone without anyone to depend on. Moreover, Guo Jingze did not look like a bad person. Mu Chenyan gave him her phone number. When Guo Jingze found Mu Chenyan at her rented house three dayster, he suggested, Could we make an agreement to get married? ... She did not have to sneak around and hide herself anymore as Guo Jingze gave her a new identity. He also hired the best psychiatrist for her. Since her depression was considered mild, the treatment and the security of her new life allowed her mental health to improve rapidly. Guo Jingze contacted a college for her so that she could continue studying. Mu Chenyans decision to study ichnology stemmed from her days working in the major crimes department. Throughout their marriage, Mu Chenyan obviously knew the reason for the Guo Familys generosity and indulgent treatment of her. Naturally, a prestigious family like this would only want the cream of the crop and they would carefully select a daughter-inw. Wu Meiyun only agreed to ept someone like her into their family because she knew about Guo Jingzes circumstances. She had nothing when she met Guo Jingze, except for the baby in her belly... Due to Guo Jingzes state at the time, he was worried that he would never bring home another woman for the rest of his life. He told his mother that he fathered Mu Chenyans baby. The shrewd Wu Meiyun was forced to turn a blind eye to this and ept her daughter-inw. The previous rumors in Capital City eventually disappeared when everyone in thepound discovered that Guo Jingze got married after an unnned pregnancy. Chapter 348 - The Imposing Man Swooped Down Furiously

Chapter 348: The Imposing Man Swooped Down Furiously

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This scene resembled the one that happened three years ago. The same pair was looking face to face at each other in the exact same coffee shop. Just like before, one of them was drunk, dispirited, and depressed. Meanwhile, the other person was calm andpletely unconcerned about worldly issues. Chenyan, are you nning to... Are you nning to leave me? The throbbing pain at the bottom of Guo Jingzes heart made his voice tremble. Jingze, this was merely an agreement. You used me as an excuse to pacify your parents and friends while I used you to give my child a father in name. There was never any love between us. You agreed from the start that we could end this rtionship at any time... But what if I told you that... Ive fallen in love with you... Guo Jingze buried his head deep in his palms. This made his hair messier. Mu Chenyan was stunned. A strange look faintly shed in her beautiful eyes. Her little mouth gaped open slightly, as though she had yet toprehend Guo Jingzes words. You... Arent you... Mu Chenyan thought, Arent you gay? The words almost left her mouth, but she could not bring herself to continue. I severed my ties with Wei Guo after I married you! Guo Jingze ironically smiled. In the past, I assumed that I wasnt attracted to women. Later, I discovered that I was attracted to them. Id just never met a woman that I liked before this! He lifted his head and gazed directly at Mu Chenyan when he said this. He was not trying to hide it at all. Mu Chenyan awkwardly shrunk back and moved her body away. She avoided Guo Jingzes eyes. Im still financing Wei Guos education, but we dont have that kind of rtionship anymore. When I was with you, I always tried my best to be a good husband and father... But I cant ept this... Ive never had any feelings for you! Mu Chenyan could not ept the change in the situation. She stared nkly at Guo Jingze. Guo Jingze hung his head and took a deep breath. His eyes were bloodshot when he raised his head a momentter, while a sneer faintly appeared in the upturned corners of his lips. Are you going to return to Yuan Xuan? What about your son? Are you nning to take him with you too? You know that that child... Hes my son! Guo Jingze sounded rather angry when he roared. Mu Chenyans entire body trembled in fear. Thats nonsense! Their voices caused the people around them to look over in shock. Mu Chenyan bit her lip. Suddenly, she understood what was going on. Guo Jingze, what did you do to my son? Mu Chenyan, are you still going to leave me if your son doesnt go with you? Guo Jingze muttered, Im not going to let you find your son. Do you still want to leave? No! Mu Chenyan leaped up from her seat when she heard that. She rushed toward Guo Jingze and violently grabbed his cor. In a sobbing tone, she shrieked, What did you do to Little Yu? Give me back my son! When you came here, I told my subordinates in City A to take Little Yu away! Im going to hide him so that youll never find him. Are you still going to leave if that happens? Guo Jingzes gaze looked slightly mad. He was persistent and assured. Mu Chenyan was so afraid that she nearly fainted. However, she desperately hit Guo Jingze instead. She was not concerned about manners or staying calm anymore. Youre a madman. Give me back my son... Mu Chenyan sobbed and struck him until she waspletely exhausted. She exchanged her life for her child. When she thought of this, it felt as though someone was twisting a knife that was stabbed in her heart. Nheless, she did not give up. She continued to fight with Guo Jingze desperately. The man watched as she struggled madly. Her hair was messy while the cor of her shirt had pulled itself open as she tossed about. Guo Jingzeughed wildly before he held Mu Chenyan tightly. In a strange voice, he said, Yuan Xuan slept with you, right? Mu Chenyan heavily panted. When she heard him mentioning Yuan Xuan, she could not help but bitterlyugh. Yes! Anger stirred in Guo Jingzes heart when he noticed that she was not hiding this. He cupped Mu Chenyans little face with his hands and caressed it. He mumbled, We were married for three years, but I wasnt even allowed to touch your hands. However, you got into bed with him after meeting him for just a few hours! Who do you think I am? Guo Jingze, Id be thankful toward you if you didnt treat me like this today. Id even treat you like my older brother. But if youve kidnapped my son, Ill despise you until the day I die... Mu Chenyan started to cry when she said that. Tears streamed down her face quickly. Guo Jingze suddenly panicked when he noticed that her eyes were filled with hatred. He tried to wipe them with his hands but they kept flowing. Dont cry. Please dont cry. Chenyan, please stop crying! Guo Jingze murmured as he wiped her tears. Mu Chenyan was so furious that she pped him. Give me Little Yu back... Guo Jingze stroked the side of his face that she struck. He coldly red at Mu Chenyan when he noticed that the people around them were pointing their fingers at him. A ghastly smile appeared on his face. Ill give him back to you if you spend the night with me. Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan swung her arm back and pped his other cheek. In your dreams! When both sides of his face were pped, the handsome man instantly felt as though he had turned into one of the big-headed mascots in the Spring Festival pictures... Guo Jingze wiped off a trace of blood that appeared at the corner of his mouth. He smiled before he suddenly picked Mu Chenyan up. Ill show you that Im not dreaming! Mu Chenyan had been exhausted after all that struggling. She felt angry and anxious when Guo Jingze carried her on his shoulder now. Her entire body ached. She tearfully screamed, Help! Call the police... Most of the onlookers were too afraid to step forward because they were unaware of the actual situation. Fortunately, some of them took their phones out as they nned to call the police. Were husband and wife. What are you going to say to the police? Guo Jingze walked away as he exined. He ignored Mu Chenyans objections. Everyone was too frightened to act rashly when they heard that they were married. They realized that this man came from an influential background when they saw the clothes that he wore. They simply used their phones to take pictures of him instead... Guo Jingze carried Mu Chenyan to her room. Professor Shen had already returned to City A afterpleting his academic report. Mu Chenyan was the only other person who hade with him. Previously, Guo Jingze had been to this hotel as well. The staff saw him carrying a woman back, but they were too afraid to stop him because he had a key card. Mu Chenyan suffered a throbbing headache while she was being carried. Her limbs felt exhausted. She hit him several times before she almost copsed. The man took long strides and entered the room. When the door made a clicking noise as it was shut, Mu Chenyan became wide awake from fear. Guo Jingze threw her on the bed in a second. Her teeth bit her tongue and she nearly cried from the pain. The metallic taste from the blood in her mouth made her want to gag. The most disgusting part was that Guo Jingze had already removed his jacket. His eyes were bloodshot as he undid his tie. Mu Chenyan flipped herself over and got off the bed when she realized that something terrible was about to happen. She only managed to run two steps away before the man grabbed her by her hair and flung her on the bed again. Mu Chenyan heard a ringing noise in her ears while her head throbbed. However, the crazy man had already lost his mind. He pounced on her and tied her hands together with the tie that he removed. Save... Save me... Mu Chenyan staggered screams were muffled by the mans lips... Hisrge hands frenziedly ripped off her clothes. Her exposed skin was still marred by Yuan Xuans love bites from several hours ago. Guo Jingzes rage grew more intense when he saw them. He lowered his head and buried it in her chest. His lips were increasingly forceful. He used his own marks to cover the ones that Yuan Xuan left. Mu Chenyan retched as her stomach churned continuously. Her hands were bound together while her body started to curl up like a little shrimp. Yuan Xuan... Save me... The twitching pain in Mu Chenyans stomach became more intense. She cried out for Yuan Xuan in her confused state. A loud noise that sounded like someone was kicking the door echoed from the entrance to the room at this moment. A staff members quivering voice could be heard as he pacified someone, saying, Sir, please calm down. Ill open the door for you now... Thest thing that Mu Chenyan saw before she cked out was the imposing mans figure as he swooped down furiously... Dont be afraid, Little Chenyan. Im here! Chapter 349 - Thank You, Little Chenyan

Chapter 349: Thank You, Little Chenyan

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was still a trace of blood on the corner of Mu Chenyans lips when she fainted. Yuan Xuan sighed at her pitiful appearance. The mans gaze was extremely ferocious when he raised his head. Guo Jingze was next to him, but he fell when Yuan Xuan punched him. Damn, I cant believe he beat me up when I hardly touched that woman. Guo Jingzes teeth and cheeks bled after he was struck. He had already despised Yuan Xuan before this. When Yuan Xuan rushed over and ruined his fun, he abandoned the mutual respect between aristocratic families and his well-mannered upbringing. He jumped up and wrestled with Yuan Xuan. The two men were both tall and well built. They had undergonebat training as well. The area seemed extremely narrow as they fought with each other. The staff member was so afraid that he hid in the corner. He waspletely dumbfounded. Both of them looked like influential people, but they acted exactly likemoners when they fought... Shao Yibai suddenly stormed in. He saw that Yuan Xuan and Guo Jingze were locked in a fierce struggle. The two mens faces were covered in wounds of varying degrees. The man who was part of the special forces cursed, F*ck, who should I help? One of them was his cousin, while the other was his ymate whom he had shared everything with as they grew up... Shao Yibai stared nkly before he noticed that Mu Chenyan was lying on the bed in a sorry state. He instantly understood the situation. He yelled, Damn, he fought for this femme fatale in the past and hes doing it all over again now! Yuan Xuan took a step back. He turned to Shao Yibai and yelled, Take Mu Chenyan away! Shao Yibai did not know whether Mu Chenyan was hurt, but he decided to help her first and find outter. Guo Jingze was not as strong as Yuan Xuan. His angry punches were also rather sloppy as he had ingested alcohol. After some time, the two men tumbled onto the floor together. Yuan Xuan straddled Guo Jingze and raised his fist. He was about to punch him before Shao Yibai yelled from the sidelines, saying, Dont kill him. You should thank him for saving Little Chenyan. Yuan Xuan seethed with anger. He could barely suppress it. He quickly turned to Guo Jingze and cursed, Ill make you pay for thister! Guo Jingze might have been Mu Chenyans savior, but he was definitely Yuan Xuans enemy. If Guo Jingze had not helped Mu Chenyan, Yuan Xuan would not have taken so many years to find her! * The woman was fast asleep, but the airy and faraway noises in her surroundings made her furrow her brow. Mu Chenyan twitched when a sharp pain pricked her right arm. She opened her eyes with much difficulty before they adjusted themselves to the light. Only then could she clearly see the face of an unfamiliar woman. Miss, please dont move. Ive put you on a drip because youve exhausted yourself. Your blood sugar level and blood pressure are very low... The young nurse held Mu Chenyans arm. Once the tourniquet was removed, the nurse inserted the needle into her arm. Mu Chenyan moved her lips. She tried to talk, but she realized that her voice waspletely gone. Her breathing became more strained when she panicked from being unable to speak. Little Chenyan, are you thirsty? The mans voice was deep and husky. It had aforting effect. Mu Chenyan blinked. When she realized that it was Yuan Xuan, she became so anxious that she cried. Yuan Xuan... My son... Dont worry, Ive already sent someone to get him! Yuan Xuan held Mu Chenyan with hisrge hands and gently caressed her. His hands were warm but dry. The mans gentle kisses could not conceal his smile. Thank you, Little Chenyan! Mu Chenyan was momentarily unable to understand what Yuan Xuan meant. Yuan Xuan sighed when he saw the dumbfounded look on her face. The handsome man seemed like he had significantly aged overnight. However, the silly smile on his face made him resemble a husky. When I saw you at the Guo Familys banquet, I immediately remembered the marriage in the Guo Family that was due to an unnned pregnancy. I made a phone call and sent Kang Yu, Yan Jun, and Tian Qi to investigate the situation in City A while you were in the bathroom. I never expected that Guo Jingzes men would already be there moments after they reached your house in City A. They wanted to take your son away, but Tian Qi had no problem fending off five people on his own! Yuan Xuan merely touched on this issue lightly, but Mu Chenyan could already imagine the terrifying scene. Your son is still in City A now. Weve already lodged a police report there. Nobody can harm him now. Hes just waiting for you to return! Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan was so touched that she cried. Her entire body trembled uncontrobly. Yuan Xuan gave her some tissue paper to wipe her tears before he gently caressed her face. His tone was affectionately reproachful. He said, Little Chenyan, youve been a naughty girl. I cant believe that you lied to me for so many years! But I must thank you for keeping this child... Mu Chenyan wept but failed to speak as she held onto Yuan Xuan tightly. Yan Muyu is my son, right? Yuan Xuans palms became warmer. His eyes glimmered as he kissed Mu Chenyans little hands. The loneliness that he previously felt had seemingly disappeared. It was reced by a happy smile instead. Mu Chenyan faintly nodded to acknowledge that she agreed with him. Yuan Xuan became more emotional. He ced Mu Chenyans little hands against his lips and gently kissed them repeatedly. Little Chenyan, Im sorry. Mu Chenyan was stunned again. She saw that this powerful, unreasonable, and gloomy man was currently misty-eyed. Strangely enough, he also seemed to be choked with sobs. She frantically stroked his forehead with her hands. The man did not bother to hide his sentimental side. He held Mu Chenyans hands in his own palms again. He murmured, They said that women suffer the most when they were pregnant, but I wasnt there to apany you. I couldnt even do anything for you when you were depressed! Giving birth to that child was the most dangerous moment of your life, but I couldnt keep watch over you at the doorway or your hospital ward. I never boiled any nutritious soup for you during your confinement period. I never carried the baby when he wailed day and night. I wasnt there to hear him say daddy for the first time... His words touched Mu Chenyan. Tears silently rolled down the corners of her eyes as she choked back sobs. She murmured, It was... My fault that... You couldnt watch him grow up... Yuan Xuan cut Mu Chenyan off, but his gentle and watery eyes were filled with affection. It wasnt your fault. I me myself for hiding everything from you in the past. If I wasnt so selfish, you would neither have suffered such a huge blow, nor would you be burdened with such a heavy weight all of a sudden... After a long pause, the man suddenly realized something. He said, Little Chenyan, I know that theres half a year left before your graduation, so I wont return to Luo Hai during this time. Ill stay here and apany you instead. You can go to ss in the morning ande home to warm your husbands bed at night. Obviously, Ill repay you for that. Ill cook for you at home and y with our son every day. You can see your husband and child when youe home after ss. I wasnt there during his first three years, but Ill work hard and make it up to him during this time! Mu Chenyan became excited when she heard Yuan Xuans ns. She was not an emotionless object. Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had argued and alternated between loving and hating each other for many years. When she thought of this, she unconsciously began to anticipate their future. A thought suddenly shed in Mu Chenyans mind. She tugged at Yuan Xuan sleeve and quietly asked, Could you... Promise me that you wont trouble Guo Jingze... Chapter 350 - The Son Was Avenging His Mother This Time

Chapter 350: The Son Was Avenging His Mother This Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuans expression darkened. He was not an inherently kind man. He would not hurt others unless they hurt him, and he would not hesitate to punish them if they offended him. He listened as Mu Chenyan begged for mercy for her aplice who had separated her and Yuan Xuan for several years. Worse still, he had nearly raped her as well. The mans face grew grimmer when he thought of this. Guo Jingze did not show Yuan Xuan any mercy when they fought with each other. Yuan Xuan felt terribly unhappy when he realized that he had to let him off. A gloomy look shed in the depths of the handsome mans eyes. He seductively pursed his lips before he quietly asked, Why are you always so stupid? Mu Chenyan knew that the malicious intent in Yuan Xuans heart would only disappear after much difficulty. She sighed. Her beautiful little face had turned pale because her body was too weak. She had a delicate type of beauty now. Guo Jingze is not a bad person by nature. He simply became mean because he was pampered ever since he was a child. Hes never suffered a day in his life. People can be quite extreme at times. Nheless, he treated me and my son very well when I was with him for several years. He never mistreated me. Mu Chenyan was being honest. Guo Jingze nearly vited her, and she held a grudge against him for that, but this did not cancel out the previous acts of kindness that he had shown her. She was not a hateful person. On the contrary, she could distinguish between feelings of gratitude and resentment. He helped you conceal your real identity. In other words, he did this despite knowing that you were my wife. He was clearly hiding his selfish desires for you all along! Yuan Xuan was secretly furious at this situation. He had searched through more than half of Country Z. Guo Jingze made Yuan Xuans journey to find his wife more difficult than it should have been. It was my fault so you shouldnt me anyone else! said Mu Chenyan guiltily. She went into hiding during these years because she knew that Yuan Xuan was looking for her. Once, her ssmate who was also a graduate student looked her up and down whileparing her to a picture on their phone. The student smiled and said, Yan Xiao, why do I think that you look particrly simr to the Young Mistress of the Yuan Family in Luo Hai? Mu Chenyan was so frightened that she refused to appear before that student for several days. Yuan Xuan gently sighed. His heart was unconsciously filled with uneasiness when he saw the embarrassed look on his wifes face. Now that I think about it, this was actually my fault. Little Chenyan, I wont let you leave me ever again! * Shao Yibai pacified Guo Jingze for some time. When they were younger, Shao Yibai had hit Guo Jingze numerous times while they were ying because he was a mischievous child. Now that they were older, Shao Yibai felt slightly sorry for Guo Jingze as he watched him getting beat up by his cousin. Guo Jingze realized that Mu Chenyan would probably leave him after today. The man felt a heavy sense of loss as he had suffered a broken heart twice. Big Bai, do you think that Mu Chenyan would still be in love with Yuan Xuan if I had met her a few years earlier? Guo Jingze had yet to ept the situationpletely. He was used to getting his way ever since he was a child. He always got what he wanted without fail. Wei Guo had even prostrated himself before his feet. However, Mu Chenyan had seemingly kept herself at a perfect distance from him for the past three years. Yuan Xuan was the root of this. As Mu Chenyan only had eyes for that man, every other male on earth was meaningless to her. Shao Yibai could not hide his smile when he heard this. It looked like Mu Chenyan never exined to Guo Jingze that she and Yuan Xuan were caught between their love and hatred for each other. Jingze, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuans rtionship is not merely a two-year affair. If you could go back in time and meet Mu Chenyan earlier, youd have to time travel to her elementary school days. Moreover, Mu Chenyan was in Xi Fan at that time. Guo Jingze was shocked. He was unaware that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had known each other for such a long time. It was not surprising that he lost to Yuan Xuan when those two were childhood sweethearts. Guo Jingze suddenly shut his eyes. He murmured, Please help me apologize to Mu Chenyan for my behaviorst night... Shao Yibai patted his shoulder andforted him, saying, Dont feel bad about it. It wouldnt be a bad idea for you to return to your original n of pursuing men instead. Ive heard that that man is still dead set on you. No one is going tough at you. Guo Jingze bitterlyughed after pondering for a moment. Its true that Wei Guo is still waiting for me... * Mu Chenyan returned to university once she and Guo Jingze signed their divorce settlement. She still had half a year toplete her dissertation. Yuan Xuan could not stop himself from secretly feeling emotional when he discovered that Mu Chenyan was studying ichnology. She could work for the forensic department in the future after she graduated. Yuan Xuan realized that his wife was advancing on the path of criminal investigation. He kept his previous promise by handing his business in Luo Hai over to Kang Yu and the deputy CEO to manage. In the meantime, he moved to City A and became a househusband. The handsome man rolled up his sleeves every day and traveled between the market and the kitchen. Mu Chenyan had nothing but endless praise for every dish he cooked. Mr Yuan, you really wasted your time being a CEO when you couldve been a master chef instead! When he heard his young wifespliments, Mr. Yuan exhausted himself and dominated the kitchen in the daytime while he ruthlessly dominated his young wife at night. Their bed rocked with intense force. Mu Chenyan trembled every time she saw the sinister smile on Yuan Xuans face when he came out of the shower. There was no such thing as a free lunch as she was clearly forced to repay him at night. Are you going to give me a little princess soon? Yuan Xuans sweat rained down on Mu Chenyans body as he imagined a future where he had both a son and a daughter. Mu Chenyan groaned endlessly. It was amon saying that women in their thirties were like wolves in the pack that liked being dominated by alpha males. Nheless, she could never keep up with Yuan Xuans pace despite being five years younger than him. She wed and bit Yuan Xuans body as he ruthlessly tormented her, but her actions made him more excited. He would always test her limits until she tearfully begged for mercy. Without fail, he would only stop after they did this two or three times consecutively. One day, Mu Chenyan found a note with Yuan Xuans handwriting in the drawer that read, My dear wife went away for three years and ten months. We should do it three times a week to make up for it, excluding the days when shes either on her period or pregnant. That should be equivalent to XXXX times. Weve already done it XX times as of now... F*ck! Hecked the Three Worldviews! Only now did Mu Chenyan understand that her husband was calcting how many times she owed him sex. It was not surprising that he needed two or three rounds during each session... He was truly an unscrupulous businessman! In the outside world, this cold and arrogant man was rumored to be a ruthless and resolute individual. Nheless, Mu Chenyans heart was filled with warmth when she recalled how he buried himself in her supple bosom. Their days went by considerably smoothly. The only problem was that Yan Muyu was rather cold toward his biological father who appeared out of nowhere. This child was very clever despite only being three years old. He was terribly reserved toward strangers. This made him and Yuan Xuan very simr. Yuan Xuan had taken many years to warm up to Mu Chenyan when she was pursuing him in the beginning. He continued to give her the cold shoulder despite falling in love with her first... The son was avenging his mother this time! Their daily conversations were like this: Little Yu... Mr Yuan, dont call me that! Were not that close. Little Yan Muyu, can you please finish your food? Mr Yuan was surprisingly patient with his son. Mr Yuan, can you please improve your cooking? Mr Yuans expression darkened when he realized that he was disliked... Little Yan Muyu, can you please call me dad? Mr Yuan, haha! A coldly arrogant look appeared on Yan Muyus face... Yuan Xuan fumed with anger. Kids are so mischievous these days! However, this brats personality is really simr to mine. I was also like this when I was younger... Mu Chenyan doubled over withughter. There were many children in the Yuan Family Mansion who grew up together. She wondered why Shu Qinger was Yuan Xuans only ymate when he was a child. Yan Muyu privately told his mother his true feelings. Although I still miss my old father, my new father isnt that bad... Little children were like that. It was just difficult for him to ept the changes in the world of the adults for now. Mu Chenyan graduated in June. She took her certificate and said goodbye to Professor Shen. Mu Chenyan felt rather reluctant to leave. She was thankful for the three years that she spent studying at the University of A. She sent a text message to Guo Jingze to bid him farewell before she left City A, but the man never responded. When Yuan Xuan left with Mu Chenyan and Yan Muyu on their flight, Guo Jingze hid in a corner of the airport and watched Mu Chenyan leave... Chapter 351 - Dad, Something Is Wrong

Chapter 351: Dad, Something Is Wrong

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyans original group of friends were stunned when they heard that she had returned to Luo Hai with her family. Yuan Tian had migrated overseas with Shen Muqiu, but Yuan Xuan still contacted her the immediately. Unfortunately, Yuan Tian was forced to grumble at Mu Chenyan through a video call because she could not return due to Shen Muqius unique status. I cant believe that you left for several years. You broke up with my brother, not me. Why didnt you secretly contact me? I missed you so much! Yuan Tians bulging belly could be seen through the screen, but she still resembled a pampered young girl. Mu Chenyan had no idea how Shen Muqiu and Yuan Tian had previously gotten together. She could not figure out how Shen Muqiu managed to steal Yuan Xuans precious little sister from him either. Nheless, she was in awe of Shen Muqius progress. Judging from her appearance, Yuan Tian was probably six or seven months pregnant. I missed you too, but you knew that I didnt want Yuan Xuan to find me... Mu Chenyans heart was filled with sorrow when she remembered that period of time. She was forced to spend several years away from Yuan Xuan again. She felt nothing but regret when she realized her mistakes. She was truly an idiot. Yuan Tianined like a spoiled child while stuffing herself with food. This baby has a bigger appetite than the previous one. My waist is so much bigger now! Mu Chenyan spat out her tea onto the floor. The previous one? Yuan Tian chuckled. Yes, my first child is already two years old. Shes a girl... When she said that, she panned the camera toward the nannysp. Mu Chenyan turned green with envy when she saw the fair-skinned little girl. Mu Chenyan felt deeply ashamed now. She had been with Yuan Xuan for more than a decade, but Yan Muyu was their only child. On the contrary, that other girl had progressed rather quickly. She was about to be a mother for the second time very soon. Shen Muqiu gave up his previous job when he left with Yuan Tian. He wiped every trace of thepanies that he owned and gave himself a new identity. He merelymanded them from the background because he was fully dedicated to his wife and daughter now. Now that Yuan Tian was pregnant again, the man had be prouder. His face was sterner when he apanied his wife, but he was more handsome than before. Yuan Xuan also looked at the screen and noticed that Yuan Tians young daughter was incredibly adorable. As her parents were both attractive, the child would definitely be good-looking as well. Yuan Tian was beaming. Meanwhile, Shen Muqiu was different now. Whenever he spoke, he would start his sentences with the words my daughter... Yuan Xuans dream of having a little princess started appearing in his mind again. Damn, this was encouraging him! He wanted a daughter as well. Mu Chenyan was forced to endure strenuous activities in bed again as this man began his quest. Yuan Xuan was not worried about suffering from renal deficiency. As long as Mu Chenyan was not on her period, Yuan Xuan wanted nothing more than to ravish his wife every day... Wu Ze was also stunned when he heard that Mu Chenyan had returned. The young man realized that it was impossible for Mu Chenyan to escape Yuan Xuans grasp despite running around in circles. Nheless, he was happy for the couple. Wu Ze was the first person who witnessed the couples rtionship start off as a miserable affair before it finished with a happy ending. Ill treat you and Yuan Xuan to a meal one of these days. We should really meet up! Wu Ze promised. Yuan Xuan smiled but kept mum when he heard this. Mu Chenyan did not know that Yuan Xuan was hiding something behind this meaningful smile. Yuan Xuan had introduced Yan Pianran to Wu Ze and that young man was absolutely smitten with her now. He was busily pursuing her recently... Mu Chenyan was relieved when the arrangements were made to enroll Yan Muyu in the best private preschool in Luo Hai. She sent her resume to Luo Hais criminal investigation unit upon realizing that she should do something as well. She was not specifically trained for this job as it was in apletely different sector. Nheless, she had studied under Professor Shen who was considered a famous individual in the local criminal investigation field. The forensic department enthusiastically epted job applications as there were only a few people in Luo Hais public security system who had such a background. Several branches had even gotten into heated arguments when theypeted with each other for candidates. In the end, Mu Chenyan decided to join a sector of the forensic department that was directly connected to the three major crimes departments. Mu Chenyan kept a low profile like before when she went to report for duty. She wore simple casual clothes and tied her hair in a ponytail to look fresh and natural. The major crimes department was still the same. The staff worked systematically under Wu Huais leadership. Nheless, they were rather excited when Mu Chenyan arrived. They gathered around her and chatted enthusiastically. The atmosphere affected Mu Chenyan and put her in a good mood. Everything looked the same, but the one difference was that Su Qingcheng was no longer in Luo Hai. Frankly, this was not surprising. How could she remain in Luo Hai when Shao Yibai refused to rest until she married him? Mu Chenyan was almost as skilled at her new job as before. She had a legitimate reason to help solve cases as she was actually employed by the forensic department now. However, there was a difference between forensics and criminal investigation. Mu Chenyan mainly participated by providing some evidence and directing the inferences to help solve these cases. The weather cooled down three months after they returned to Luo Hai. Suddenly, Yuan Xuan brought up their wedding ns again. Now that you have a steady job, do you also think that we should have our wedding in spring next year? Yuan Xuan asked Mu Chenyan as he watched Yan Muyu eat his breakfast. Big Xuanzi, whats a wedding? Little Yan Muyus big watery eyes blinked as he asked. Muyu, how many times have I told you not to call your father Big Xuanzi? Mu Chenyans son truly left her speechless. She red at Yuan Xuan and quietly rebuked him, saying, You should discipline him too. Youre too lenient. See what hes be? A gleeful expression appeared on the dashing Big Xuanzis face. He ruffled his sons hair with hisrge hands. It doesnt matter what he calls me because its just a form of address. He can call me Big Xuanzi because it doesnt change the fact that hes my son! Thats right! Youve always said that I resemble Big Xuanzi very much when he was a child. Hes still my father even if I dont call him that! Yan Muyus new father had sessfully won him over. The child hugged his new fathers upper thigh tightly. Mu Chenyan was so annoyed at Yuan Xuan that she kept mum. She could not look directly at the little boy and big boy who were echoing each other. As Yan Muyu had yet toprehend the idea of a wedding despite already attending one, Big Xuanzi whisked him away to make preparations for the event. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan became an outsider. Mom, Dad and I picked out a wedding dress for you today. It seems really tiring to be a groom because there are so many things to do. Id rather be a bride because all I have to do is eat, wander around, and go to work every day... Yan Muyu was clearly exhausted because his father took him to various ces and made him do numerous things. This would definitely exhaust a child who was only slightly over three years old. Mom, can I be a bride when I grow up? I dont want to be a groom because its too tiring! Mu Chenyan was amused when the little boy kept sighing after that. She ruffled her sons hair and smiled, saying, You cant be a bride, but your little sister can when she grows up. Little sister? What little sister? Yan Muyu picked up on the key phrase. Suddenly, his big eyes sparkled as he looked at Mu Chenyan. Mu Chenyan affectionately exined, Your little sister is in your moms tummy. Dad, something is wrong! Hurry up, dad! Come here quickly! Yan Muyu loudly eximed when he heard that. He was terribly afraid. Mu Chenyan never expected that her son to react this way. The little boys expression changed, and he shrieked moments after his mother shared this secret with him. Chapter 352 - This Man Did Not Hold Back When He Pampered His Wife and Son Now

Chapter 352: This Man Did Not Hold Back When He Pampered His Wife and Son Now

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yuan Xuan was boiling soup for Mu Chenyan in the kitchen when he heard his son yelling for him, but the boy did not call him Big Xuanzi this time and sounded rather afraid. Yuan Xuan ran to the hall and gathered him into his arms. He asked, Whats wrong? Dad, mom just told me that my little sister is in her belly because mom ate her! Yan Muyu turned around and peered at Mu Chenyan fearfully. Mu Chenyan ced her hand on her forehead, her expression darkening. The little boy really made her sound like the witch from Hansel and Gretel. Yuan Xuan was momentarily baffled. The handsome man nced at Mu Chenyan. He said in a deep voice, What do you mean? What little sister? Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him. She was so embarrassed that she decided to ignore her son and his father. She merely rose and went to the bedroom. Yuan Xuan remained glued to the spot. The schr pondered for several minutes before connecting the dots finally. He was so emotional that his hands trembled when he lifted his son up high to spin him around happily. Youre going to have a little sister! My little princess is here! That would exin why the womans appetite had increased during this period of time. She was also more bashful when her husband requested to make love at night. This was the reason. Yan Muyu was mature for his age, but he was still a child after all. His parents current behavior frightened him so much that he nearly cried. Yuan Xuan regained hisposure right away and consoled his son. He used a popr scientific analogy to exin the origins of children to his son. Dad, are you saying that you took a tadpole and ced it in moms belly? Is it really going to grow up and be a child? Yan Muyu looked at himself. He simply could not believe that he used to be a tadpole. Yes, you could say that! So my parents are frogs... Hmm, that... How did you put it inside? Yan Muyu asked another question. Yuan Xuans entire body stiffened as he was caught unprepared by the question. Umm, I used a syringe to inject it... Did it hurt as much as getting a flu shot? Yan Muyu pensively asked. His little face was flushed, and he looked rather scared. No, it didnt hurt. Little Yan, did you cry during your injection? But mom cried when you inserted that thing inside her... Yan Muyu said cautiously. Yuan Xuan instantly thought that this little boy had a bright future ahead of him. He just made a dirty joke without batting an eyelid... * The Old Mistress was extremely fond of Yan Muyu when he returned. However, she was still a little unhappy about the fact that this childsst name was Yan. Her heart was filled with joy when she heard that Mu Chenyan was pregnant again. This babysst name would be Yuan regardless whether it was a boy or a girl. The Old Mistress felt rather remorseful when she recalled her treatment of Mu Chenyan all these years. She also noticed how her grandson had suffered during the years Mu Chenyan was gone. Now that Mu Chenyan had returned, Yuan Xuan had also regained his former vigor. The Old Mistress grandson had suffered for half of his life. It looked like he treasured this young woman because she was the only person who could make him happy. As his grandmother, her remorse would probably follow her to her grave if she did note to her senses. The Old Mistress instructed someone to call Mu Chenyan over. She was going to give her a jade Buddha pendant from her own jewelry box. When your grandfather was fighting the bandits that year, he had raided the leadersir and seized this item from them. Its rumored that it belonged to the emperor during the ancient times. Your grandfathers superiors rewarded him with this jade pendant for his military aplishments. Mu Chenyan looked at that piece of beautiful jade. It was pure and gave off a mysterious glimmer that reminded her of the ancient times. She had seen numerous treasures in the Mu household, but there were only a few with colors and appearances that could rival this jade. This was definitely an excellent item. She nced at it a few more times . Doubts stirred in her mind as she thought, Is she going to give it to me? Mu Chenyans expression did not betray her thoughts. Unlike the other people in the Yuan Family Mansion who worshiped this elderly woman, Mu Chenyan was always indifferent toward her. Nheless, she did not resent the old woman. Many years have passed since youve be a part of the Yuan Family, but I never gave you a decent present. This jade Buddha pendant has been with me for several decades, but Im giving it to you today. Please consider this as an apology... The Old Mistress was on the verge of tears when she said this. She ced the fine piece of jade on Mu Chenyans palm. Mu Chenyan was so stunned by the Old Mistress words that her entire body trembled. The slight coolness from the jade Buddha in her palm jerked Mu Chenyan out of her reverie. A lump formed in her throat. She realized that Yuan Xuan had never told the Old Mistress the truth about Yuan Tangbais sacrifice. Mu Chenyan was filled with uneasiness when she realized that the Old Mistress was apologizing to her without knowing about her true identity. Grandmother, why are you giving this away when grandfather gave it to you? She tried to decline, but the Old Mistress pressed her palm closed. She murmured, Men wear the Guanyin while women wear the Buddha. If you keep this close to you, itll ensure that your life is peaceful. The Yuan Family cannot endure any trouble anymore. Youve returned and given the Yuan Family two great-grandchildren. Please dont hold any grudges against me for the things that I did in the past... The Old Mistress took a deep breath as she said that. She sighed, Im old, but itll be fine for me to die now that Ive seen Yuan Xuan prosper! Mu Chenyan choked back sobs. Grandmother, please dont say that... ... Mu Chenyan was in low spirits when she returned from Upper Mansion. Yuan Xuan did not know about the touching moment that happened between those two women. He had merely assumed that Mu Chenyan was in a bad mood because she was bored at home. He suggested taking her shopping so that they could buy some things for their baby. Mu Chenyan was depressed when she was pregnant with Yan Muyu and did not care about preparing the items for his daily needs. Wu Meiyun single-handedly made the arrangements for those items after the child was born. Everything from his swaddling clothes to the other items was obviously the best from Capital City. Unfortunately, the childs mother was not the one who personally prepared those things for him. Mu Chenyan felt that she did not deserve Yan Muyu whenever she recalled this. When she had this baby, Mu Chenyan decided that she would make up properly for her previous shorings. Yuan Xuans suggestion excited her. Both of them got into his car and went to the shopping mall. * Inside the baby products store... Mu Chenyan was in an awkward predicament again. The saleswoman wanted to know the sex of her baby so that they could decide on a color scheme, but Mu Chenyan had no idea. Just rmend us the items for a girl! Yuan Xuan made the decision on her behalf. It seemed like he had already decided that he wanted a son and a daughter as soon as possible. Mu Chenyan did not argue with him. She merely smiled and allowed him to do as he pleased. This man did not hold back when he pampered his son and wife now. He would be incredibly happy if she really gave birth to a girl. When the saleswoman noticed Yuan Xuans dignified manner that made him stand out from the crowd, and the scene of him settling the bill shed in her mind. He would definitely be an excellent customer who would spend his money extravagantly. Themission that she would earn this afternoon would probably be more than a months sry. The saleswoman became more enthusiastic when she realized this. She spared no effort when she rmended the items to them. Mu Chenyans shopping cart was filled to the brim with products for the baby in no time. The salespersons eyes lit up brightly when Yuan Xuan passed her a ck card once they had finished shopping. Mu Chenyan trailed behind them. Many people were lining up to pay, but the cashier gave Yuan Xuan special treatment because he was a priority customer with a ck card. A staff member came over and opened another counter just for him so that he could pay. At this moment, a pregnant woman walked over while pushing her shopping cart. She lined up behind Mu Chenyan. Im sorry, maam. This counter was only opened for the customer in front of you and his wife. Please pay at the other counter. The salesperson politely stopped the pregnant woman. Oh? Could you make an exception for me? There are a lot of people there and my legs are already swollen. Its going to take a long time to line up... The womans voice was soft and gentle. It also sounded strangely familiar. Mu Chenyan turned and nced in the direction of the voice. She quietly eximed, Wen Ya! The woman was also shocked. Herplexion was pale when she saw Mu Chenyan. Her lips trembled as she said, Mu Chenyan, you... Youre back? Chapter 353 - The Truth About Yuan Zhe’s Death

Chapter 353: The Truth About Yuan Zhes Death

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan saw the surprise written all over Wen Yas face. They had not seen each other for three years, but Wen Ya still looked as pretty as before. She did not look thin anymore as she had gained some weight due to her pregnancy. Wen Ya, its really you! Mu Chenyan could not hide her excitement when she noticed that Wen Ya was also expecting a child. Her pregnancy seemed quite far along. Chenyan... When did you return... Wen Ya still seemed dazed from the shock. I came back recently! Mu Chenyan grabbed and held Wen Yas hands in her excitement. I couldnt contact you. I heard that you went to East City... Yuan Xuan came over and greeted Wen Ya when he saw the two women holding each others hands after he finished paying. He picked up Yan Muyu and turned to Mu Chenyan saying, Ill take our son home first. Why dont you two take your time catching up? Mu Chenyan nodded and instructed, Dont let Muyu eat anything cold at home. Wen Ya looked on as Yuan Xuan left with their son. Her soft voice was tinged with envy when she said, Your boy is so big now! Hes three years old! Mu Chenyan could not help the questions that popped up in her head when she looked at Wen Yas belly. She was too afraid to ask any questions though. Zheng Shuyan is the father of my child. Wen Ya had probably sensed the endless stream of doubts in Mu Chenyans mind. Her hand caressed her underbelly when she spoke. * The sun was setting in the west in the evening. It illuminated the ground in a glorious golden glow. The women found a quiet coffee shop. They both ordered fruit juice because they were pregnant and sat at a table that was next to the window. It seemed like time had turned back to more than a decade ago when they were both still studying. Mu Chenyans personality was cheerful and optimistic at that time while Wen Ya was quiet and calm. These two talented women were kindred spirits. They had formed a profound friendship with each other when they were studying in Ennd. Wen Ya had gone back home all of a sudden, and then came the news of her getting married. Mu Chenyan had never expected that a significant amount of her pride would be worn down during the years that both of them spent in the Yuan household. They realized that numerous things had changed as they sat together in silence once again. Did you really marry Zheng Shuyan? Mu Chenyan remembered that Wen Ya had this n in the beginning before she left. However, she never thought that this woman would be determined enough to keep her word. Yes! Wen Ya sounded faintly sheepish as she nodded. She murmured, Once his sentence ended, I sent an application to the relevant department so that I could marry him. I went there many times. They kept refusing to approve it because of Zheng Shuyans unique circumstances. Later, I was very grateful to Yuan Tian and Yuan Xuan because they pleaded on behalf of Zheng Shuyan. Fortunately, Zheng Shuyan showed that he had reformed when he worked in the prisons hospital. His excellent behavior in prison also allowed him to gain some rights. I could only marry him because of that... We had a very simple wedding. Once a month, we could, umm, meet in the prisons hospital... Wen Ya blushed when she said this. Mu Chenyan realized what she meant by meet. She also understood that this was how Wen Ya became pregnant. Mu Chenyan sighed in relief when she heard this. Wen Yas life could not be described as pitiful alone anymore. Wen Ya did not have any children with Yuan Zhe despite being married to him for so many years. He had even treated her with disdain and abused her because of that. Her current circumstances were definitely a good thing. Mu Chenyans gaze turned gloomy. The inferences that she made three years ago still gued her mind now. However, she could not bear to mention these things when she saw the contented expression on Wen Yas face. They chatted for some time before Wen Ya suddenly asked, Now that youre back in Luo Hai, did you return to your old job? Mu Chenyan was shocked. She said, its a bit different now. I had studied ichnology under Professor Shen Muchen at University A. Im working at the forensic department at the public security bureau. Mu Chenyan saw Wen Ya shiver. It seemed like she was very much in awe when Mu Chenyan mentioned the forensic department. I admire you very much. Youve always followed your dreams. No one wouldve expected you to work in the forensic department with the subject youve majored in college. Wen Ya eximed from the bottom of her heart. Her long eyshes fluttered. She looked like she still had something to say, but she was too afraid to continue. Mu Chenyan stared at Wen Ya and asked out of the blue, Wen Ya, do you regret it? Wen Ya was dumbfounded when she heard the question. The two women looked each other in the eye. What are you referring to? The incident with Zheng Shuyan! Mu Chenyan was not trying to expose the entire situation. She would definitely drop this subject if Wen Ya kept pretending that they were not on the same page. Wen Ya looked anxious. Her hands trembled when she picked up the ss of fruit juice at the side of the table. Wen Ya drank a mouthful of fruit juice and avoided Mu Chenyans gaze. Mu Chenyan remembered that Wen Yas emotions should not be provoked as she was pregnant. Sheforted her by saying, Its in the past. Just pretend that I never said anything if youre unwilling to bring it up... Chenyan, did you discover something? Wen Ya gave a bitter smiled. Her eyes seemed dazed, and they were filling up with tears. She could not run away from her problems forever. It looked like she had prepared herself. Mu Chenyan did not want toy everything out in the open yet. She answered Wen Yas question by remaining silent and simply staring at her. Honestly, so many years have passed, but I have no one to talk to it about. Its truly depressing for me to suppress it in my heart all this time! The corners of Wen Yas lips curled upward, but she looked rather miserable. She seemed relieved to finally be able to mention this. Mu Chenyan remained silent and continued to stare at Wen Ya. The other womans expression was enough to confirm all the suspicions in her heart. What else did she have to say now? Chenyan, how did you find out? What do you mean? How did you know that I was involved in Yuan Zhes death? The corners of Wen Yas lips curled up to reveal a mocking smile. She had said it so casually as though she was discussing someone elses problem. So youre admitting that you murdered Yuan Zhe! Mu Chenyan exposed the truth in a straightforward manner when she noticed that Wen Ya was not hiding it anymore. Wen Ya was not in a hurry to defend herself. Her chest that had indicated her anxious breathing had actually calmed down instead. She had kept this secret in the depths of her heart for several years. Now that it could finally spit it out, she could not do it any faster. There was finally someone who would listen to what she had to say today. Wen Ya did not panic at all. Rather, she felt more rxed than she had ever been. Wen Ya nced at Mu Chenyan and gave a faint smile. Youre right. I was the one who poisoned him! Wen Ya felt that her meeting with Mu Chenyan today had turned into a court trial. Mu Chenyan reached her hand out and held the other pair on hands on the table that was as smooth as jade. Her hands were quivering and cold to her touch. Wen Ya, I was merely specting, but I had known three years ago. Wen Ya could not seem to believe her. Three years ago? Mu Chenyan nodded. I didnt turn you in at that time, and Im obviously not going to do it now. Mu Chenyan was telling the truth. The thought of reporting Wen Ya to the police had really never crossed her mind. Nheless, this went against her duty as a member of the criminal police. This had nothing to do with justice. Mu Chenyan felt that once everyone removed their figurative halos, their malicious intentions would show that they had always been there all along. If she was given the choice, she would have wished for Yuan Zhes death as well. After all, that man waspletely devoid of goodness. On the contrary, he had done all kinds of evil deeds. However, that devil was previously backed by the Yuan Familys influence. It would be difficult to punish him if it was not for this ident. Wen Ya sighed. The glimmer in her eyes was suddenly tinged with resentment. She bit her lip and murmured, You already knew that the water filter system at home had two separate inlets for hot and cold water. Thats why you ced the poison pellet in the Y-shaped hot water inlet! said Mu Chenyan bluntly. Wen Ya smiled and nodded. Yes, youre very smart. Yuan Zhe washed the tea set and boiled the first pot of coffee with cold water. The cold water came from the left side of the Y-shaped inlet. Both of the reporters were safe because the first pot of coffee was not poisoned. Wen Ya released a drawn-out sigh of relief when she said this. It seemed like her body had been emptied of any burden as she leaned against the sofa. Mu Chenyan nced at Wen Yas eyes as iprehensible hatred shed through them. Yuan Zhe would definitely use the mint vored sugar cubes for the second pot of coffee. He had previously mentioned that coffee that was brewed again wouldnt taste good with the sugar cubes. He would always use hot water to boil the roasted coffee powder before adding the sugar cubes. Mu Chenyan listened and realized that Wen Ya had observed Yuan Zhes habits in life carefully. Yuan Zhe turned the water valve toward the right when he wanted to boil the second pot of water. The hot water flowed out of the right side of the Y-shaped water inlet and allowed the poison to be mixed with the pot of coffee. Mu Chenyan understood why the second batch of coffee contained poison now. Zheng Shuyan thought of me immediately when he heard that something had happened in the Yuan household... Wen Ya covered her face miserably when she said this. I stole the poison from hisboratory. Zheng Shuyan rushed to my office at once and spoke to me when he discovered that Yuan Zhe was poisoned to death. He gave me that box of sugar cubes. Mu Chenyans inference was nearly urate. Am I wrong to assume that Zheng Shuyan was nning to use that box of sugar cubes to kill Yuan Zhe? Mu Chenyan quietly asked. Wen Ya nodded tearfully. She said, Yes, he had originally nned to bribe the servants at home to ce the sugar cubes that were injected with poison in our house. He knew that I would never use those vored sugar cubes. However, I took matters into my own hands before he carried out his n. Thats why he gave me the sugar cubes so that I could put it on the wine rack when I returned to Peace Mansion. I didnt know that the sugar cubes were poisoned at that time. I had returned to the crime scene at Peace Mansion and pretended to take something inside. It was then I ced the sugar cubes near the wine rack. The police officers were only paying attention to whether I took anything from the scene, but they did not care about the items that I had brought inside with me. Mu Chenyan remained silent. She continued listening attentively to Wen Ya as she quietly retold the story. Zheng Shuyan did this to shift the polices focus onto himself. He wanted to ensure that everything would go smoothly when he turned himself inter. Mu Chenyan pondered before she asked, Did Zheng Shuyan instruct you to lead Su Qingcheng there so that she would discover the box of sugar cubes? Wen Ya covered her face and sobbed. Yes. The police had failed to discover that box of sugar cubes. Zheng Shuyan called me using a public phone and told me to lead the police there so that they would discover the sugar cubes. If I knew at that time that he was nning to surrender himself and take the me for the entire situation, I would never have... Mu Chenyans heart was filled with sorrow for these two miserable lovers after hearing what Wen Ya had said. Wen Ya, you have to pay a life for a life. You should already be aware of consequences like this! Wen Ya raised her head from the crook of her elbow where it was buried. She looked at Mu Chenyan andmented, Yes, I had already prepared myself to ept these consequences the moment I poisoned him. I just never thought that Zheng Shuyan would sacrifice himself for me... Wen Ya started crying again. Mu Chenyan consoled her right away when she remembered that pregnant women like her were not supposed to be emotionally burdened. Wen Ya, you must control yourself for the sake of your child. The woman was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, but these words were enough to sober her up. She wiped her tears away, and her swollen red eyes peered at Mu Chenyan. She murmured, How did you realize that it was me? Three years ago, you asked me to return to Peace Mansion to take some of your personal belongings for you while you were hospitalized. Do you still remember that? Wen Ya pondered for a while before she realized that this had certainly happened. When I went to Peace Mansion, Little Cui went upstairs to take the things that you wanted while I sat downstairs and waited. I discovered that the Japanese banana tree in the garden had died when I was there! Wen Yasplexion turned ashen when the Japanese banana tree was mentioned. She remembered that her first child was buried under that tree. You probably know why that tree is dead. Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Wu Huai had actually wondered if someone had done something to the water inlet. That was why he took the water samples, but nothing showed up during theboratory tests. Youve vomited the first time you returned to the crime scene. After that, youve requested to wash the remnants away from the ground under the Japanese banana tree. The remaining poison inside the water filter system was removed when you took the water from there. Since you took too much water, you watered the nts around the Japanese banana tree as well. However, you underestimated the strength of the poison. A little whileter, the Japanese banana tree and the surrounding nts all died. When I went to Peace Mansion, Little Cuiined that the Japanese banana tree was dead. I immediately recalled your previous actions and made a mental connection between them. That allowed me to reach this conclusion! I took a sample of the soil back with me. I asked Su Qingcheng to get it tested in theboratory when she went to the forensic department. Later, they found traces of M36n in the soil sample. Wen Ya could not help but admire Mu Chenyans meticulous thought process when she heard this. She knew that Wu Huai was experienced in solving cases like these. She had to ensure that the poison was carefully administered. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to escape once the traces of the poison were discovered in the water filter system at home. She thought of every possible way to use more water when she returned. This would lessen the amount of poison that remained. It was also another reason why Wu Huai failed to see any results despite having instructed his staff to take samples of the water several times already. However, Mu Chenyan was a logical and highly intelligent person. She had made those inferences just by noticing that the Japanese banana tree had died. Chenyan, please give me some time. Let me give birth to this child and... Your child will need his mother to take care of him once hes born! Mu Chenyan interrupted Wen Ya, but her gaze was much gentler now. Wen Ya was stunned. She whispered, Arent you going to turn me in? I work for the forensic department now, but Im not God. On the contrary, I have a selfish side. The corners of Mu Chenyans lips tugged up into a small smile when she said this. Im rather evil too! It would probably be impossible for Yuan Zhe to pay for his sins even if he died a hundred times over. His fate could only end in the same way. The only problem was deciding who would be the one punishing him. Zheng Shuyan had already paid the price for his crime. If Mu Chenyan imed that all this was because of justice, then why did justice not help Wen Ya to get away from that demon a long time ago? Why did it force her onto the road of no return? This kind of thinking would make everyone else would believe that her Three Worldviews were skewed, so she could not speak anything about it. Chapter 354 - You’re A Good Brother.

Chapter 354: Youre A Good Brother.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Ya and Mu Chenyan felt so much better after they sorted things out. The woman took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. She looked at Mu Chenyan and thought that the woman in front of her had gone through a lot. She was arrested at her wedding, so she must have been dested. Then, she had to suffer in jail and was tormented with the separation of her loved ones. If this were to happen on an average person, they would probably cry in misery all day long. However, God seemed to favor her as there were no signs of resentment or vicissitudes of life on her face. In their ce was instead a natural hint of tranquility. Wen Ya thought for a moment and did not know how to open up on another secret she had. She saw how calm Mu Chenyan looked at the moment, only then did she dared to say, Chenyan, do you know Yuan Tangzhong was the one who framed you? Mu Chenyan was still a little surprised with this information and a hint of amazement shed through her bright eyes. You knew? Wen Ya nodded and smiled bitterly. Im very timid, and Im not as smart as you to have realized it sooner. However, I have known for a long time the romantic rtionship between Yuan Tangzhong and the fake Qinger! Even so, Mu Chenyan was not surprised to know about the rtionship between Yuan Tangzhong and Zhao Ruoxin. She already knew that Zhao Ruoxin had a fatherplex during the investigation in City C. However, I didnt think that the woman wasnt Qinger at that time. Moreover, I never thought he was the one who had killed the imposter, Qinger and took two lives! I only got this information out of him in the ward after he was being taken down by Yuan Xuan. Mu Chenyan remained silent for a while. Yuan Tangzhong was the culprit, and he had framed her. This information still rattled her after all this while. Wen Ya had a guilty and a slightly dignified look on her face, I dont understand why he framed you... Also, during your two years in prison, I dared not tell anyone about the rtionship between him and the fake Qinger. If I were to give this information to the police earlier, they might able to find some important clues. Can you forgive me for being weak at that time... Mu Chenyan knew that Yuan Tangzhong might have framed her because of her identity. It was all about Mu Feng, Yuan Tangzhong, Yuan Xuan, and the confrontation andpetition between the three forces. She had just been so unfortunate as to have been the chess piece that had to be sacrificed in this battle of theirs. However, everything has be a thing of the past! Just as Yuan Xuan had said, those who were supposed to die were dead already. Therefore, these misunderstandings and their origins were really not as important anymore. She had suffered what she had to suffer, and she had even epted the things that were much crueler than what the truth could be. She had experienced many farewells with Yuan Xuan, and now she no longer wanted to keep anyints or hatred in her heart. Wen Ya, its all in the past already! Mu Chenyan gave a small smile. She had to be the one tofort Wen Ya instead when she saw how restless the woman was. The result wouldve been the same regardless of whether youve told the truth. After all, even Yuan Xuan could not protect me at that time. Wen Ya felt a gush of warmth rising from underneath her heart when she heard that. She grabbed Mu Chenyan with her trembling hands. Today, the rock that has been stuck inside my heart for such a long time seems to have finally fallen to the ground... * Yuan Family Mansion... A babys wail pierced through the atmosphere. Sister, sister, stop crying. Ive given you all my ice cream, why are you still crying... Yan Muyus voice sounded a little desperate as he stared at the doorway with his huge dark eyes and waved his little hands. He was frightened from watching the baby waggling its hands and feet inside the stroller and crying until she sounded almost out of breath. Muyu, are you bullying your sister again? Mu Chenyan smiled as she walked out of the bathroom and saw her son holding a half-eaten murder weapon in his handa chocte ice cream cone. The yet to melt chocte ice cream on the babys red lips was the evidence. Her lips had been attacked suddenly by a cold murder weapon when she was sleeping peacefully. She was so frightened by the sensation she had burst into tears almost immediately. Mu Chenyan picked up the pinkish little princess quickly and wiped her lips. The little princess had fallen asleep after Mu Chenyan breastfed her for a short while. Only then Mu Chenyan breathed a long sigh of relief. Yan Muyu seemed to be very frustrated. His head was lowered, and the ice cream in his hands had melted already. He was feeling down, so he wiped his little hands on his pants, and his clothes were filthy with chocte. Muyu,e here. Mu Chenyans voice was very gentle as she reached her hands out to Yan Muyu. Yan Muyu seemed a little scared. His eyes turned red, and he dared not move forward. Muyu, mum has a question for you: do you like your sister very much? Mu Chenyan asked in a gentle tone as she moved and wrapped her arms around her son. Yan Muyu nodded. I wanted to give her chocte, so she can stop sleeping all the time. I want her to grow up quickly so that she can y with me! Mu Chenyanughed when she heard that. Sheforted him by saying, You like your sister, so you gave her something you think is the best. You did the right thing and youre a good brother. Yan Muyu nodded earnestly and looked at the ice cream in his hand. He was not willing to finish it even though it had melted into a pool of water. Sister is still too young now, so she cant eat this now.But when she grows up a little, shell know the person who loves her the most is her brother! Mu Chenyanid a light kiss on Yan Muyus head. Her heart was touched deeply. This child, Yan Muyu, was born a little lonely. He was not as mischievous as the other three to four years old children. He had a delicate yet sensitive mind, and his arrogant temper was most probably very simr to Yuan Xuan when he was a child. However, he had somewhat changed ever since his sister was born. He began to pay attention to his sister, and he would always care for his sister excessively. The eager look on his face could not help but remind Mu Chenyan of Yuan Xuan as a child. Yan Muyu was a child who grew up under the care of her parents. On the other hand, Yuan Xuan had been an orphan ever since he was a child. Although the Old Mistress loved him very much, it was not the same as the love of his parents. That was how his cold and arrogant character had been cultivated to such an extent. It was indeed true that everything had its cause. Mu Chenyans heart was warm when she thought of that. Chef Yuan took over the kitchen once again during dinner time. She saw the handsome man rolling his sleeves up and his well-defined features. He made cooking seem like a piece of art with the earnest look on his face. Mu Chenyan could not help but feel loved. Brother Xuan... The woman wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, cing her cheek on the mans back and inhaling the unique scent of his body with her eyes closed. Yuan Xuan was shocked. She already had kids, but she still called him Brother Xuan just like when she was a young girl. The man seemed to have suddenly gotten a hint. Little Chenyan, do you want your husband to love you properly in bed? Hmm? The mans voice became hoarse and his throat trembled slightly. Mu Chenyan smiled in secret. As expected, men were truly animals who thought with their dicks... I just want to hold you like this! Mu Chenyan felt emotional all of a sudden. She rubbed her face on the mans back as though she was a kitten that had just woken up. The man turned around abruptly and lifted her up. Then, he strode in the direction of the stairs. Mu Chenyan was terribly frightened as she grabbed his clothes with her tiny hands. She asked in a low voice, What are you doing? Its time for dinner! Let me eat you first... Whenever the man was getting emotional, his voice would sound hoarse and sonorous. His eyes were filled with tenderness. Its not enough, its never enough... The starry sky in the summer night seemed boundless. A light breeze blew and the insects croaked... Chapter 356 - Bearded Man Two Was Into Men

Chapter 356: Bearded Man Two Was Into Men

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yunnan-Burma junction... The dense woods covered up the sky above. It had just rained, and the air was filled with a damp and moldy smell. The heavy tires of the military trucks ran over the mountain roads, causing the pools of water to ssh about, and left deep marks on the roads. Due to andslide up front, the path had been sealed by fallen stones. The truck driver cursed with a strong ent and jumped out of the car to assess the situation. Not long after, he ran back and said to the few idiots behind the truck, Fuck, the road ispletely blocked. We cant advance from here. If we were to go around it, Im afraid that we wont be able to reach Brother Shengs ce tonight! What should we do? A corner of the army green canvas flipped open, and a bearded idiot with fierce features appeared. Hemented loudly, Bastard! Why does it have to be blocked at this time! The stock in this truck needs to catch the ride tomorrow to be transported. What good will it do if theyre being out here? How do we take another route? The driver sighed and nced at the people in the car. Theres a forest path nearby that will lead us out of this canyon in six hours. However, if you bring these brats with you, Im afraid that you wont be able to move fast. We need to get out of that forest before it turns dark. Itll be very dangerous otherwise! Being in the rainforest during nighttime was akin to watching a live broadcast of the animal world. The driver still wanted to live a few more years. The bearded man turned around and saw a dozen huge dark eyes staring back at him. The little kids were looking around with fear in their eyes. The man sneered, They dont move fast? Hmm, Ill leave those who dont move quickly in the forest and feed them to the wolves! The car was filled with kids in their teens. Their huge dark eyes were wide open, and they were trembling in fear. Go! One after the other! The bearded man ordered the teenagers to get out of the car and follow the drivers guidance. They walked down a small twisted path with Bearded Man Two, Bearded Man Three, and Bearded Man Four carrying their loaded guns... It had just rained in the forest, so the path was much more slippery than what most of them had imagined. Moreover, the teenagers had been hungry for an entire day. Some of them simply could not move fast. Someone was bound to slip or fall with every step they make. After walking for more than an hour, they finally got onto the main road. A frail young boy in the team finally could not take it anymore. He fell into a puddle of water at the roadside. He was extremely filthy, and his frail body was not only slender but also weak. Since his skin was very fair, he seemed frighteningly pale when he was this exhausted. Heid motionless on the ground after he fell. It seemed like he was on the verge of dying. The bearded man noticed that the entire team had stopped moving. The children gave theirpanion on the ground a pitiful and doubtful look. Fuck! You have the mood to ask for pity at this time? Why? Do you think that I would let you go just because you fell? The bearded man was fuming with rage and was about to hit the boy with his gunstock. Bearded Man Two grabbed him and said, Theres no point in hitting him. This guy must be very hungry. Look how skinny he is. Youll kill him with just a few hits. Then you wont be able to sell him for even 10,000 yuan! Hes as skinny as a girl. How much can I hope to sell him for? Thats not necessarily true. If his kidneys, heart, and liver managed to match someone elses, we could sell them for a good price, Bearded Man Two said and smiled wickedly. He looked at the teenager lying on the ground and sighed. Not to mention, this little guy looks pretty. It would be great if he was a girl. I couldve given it a go... Even brats cant stop you from having fun! Bearded Man Three said with a smile. Everyone looked at each other. It seemed like they were very interested in this suggestion. The few of them had been walking for an entire day and already had the urge to curse at someone. Talking about this topic had made their sour mood earlier lightened up. The teenager on the ground was trembling in fear when he heard theirughter and conversation. He tried to get up and walk towards hispanion in the camp, but he fell again. You guys should stop talking. This little fe is evoking my desires... Bearded Man Two looked at the teenager who had turned into a mud monkey on the ground. Who knew where his desire wasing from... Damn it! The young man cursed in his heart, and his body started trembling uncontrobly. Bearded Man Two squatted down, grabbed his clothes, picked him up, and caressed his fair little face. Suddenly, he picked the young boy up and smiled at the few of them. Ill give it a go first, you guys can go ahead! The teenager who was on the mans back sensed the danger he was in. Fuck, Bearded Man Two was into men! It seemed like it was still unsafe after disguising as a boy! Let me go... He started crying and smacking Bearded Man Twos back with his little hands. Nheless, his attacks were as harmless as a mosquito bite, and it was not in the least terrifying. The row of teenagers was frightened. One of the darker-skinned children was a little braver, so he rushed out and blocked Bearded Man Two with his thin body. He then shouted, Let him go! What are you going to do? The dark-skinned boys entire body was piercing cold. Even though he was weak, this child had looked so murderous until Bearded Man Two was truly shocked. The man was very annoyed when he saw someone interrupting him. Heunched a kick but he did not expect the dark-skinned child to dodge it nimbly. On top of that, he made a counterattack and threw Bearded Man Two onto the ground. Bearded Man Two lost his bnce and fell. The young man on his back was thrown off his back. The dark-skinned child suddenly rushed over, grabbed the faired-skinned boy, and together they ran towards the woods next to the tiny path with all their might. The incident happened too suddenly and since the few idiots were already a distance away, they simply did not think that someone dared to escape under the threat of their loaded guns. There were branches and vines growing on looming trees that stretched into the sky on both sides of the road all over the mountains. The two children ran into the woods and disappeared without a trace. The young boy originally had no strength left in him, but the hope of escaping this nightmare had set off his potential to run. He did not know where it came from, but it was as if God had given his legs the strength to run away with the dark-skinned boy. The idiots were furious and chased after them immediately. They raised their guns andunched a shot ahead of them as they ran. The sound of the gunshot broke through the sky. It alerted the group of people who was lurking at the side of the road. Report captain, the gunshote from 11 oclock southeast! Liu Tong reported to Shao Yibai in a low voice on the news that the scouting soldiers found. They were lurking around here to help the drug investigation team to ambush a group of drug dealers. Shao Yibai heard the report, thought for a moment and ordered in a low voice, Get a few people to follow me. Youll stay here and continue the ambush, chiefmander! The five of them ran in the direction of the gunshot along with Shao Yibai. Shao Yibais had been pretty excited ever since he moved from Yan State to the Sunni Triangle. This was the ce where a Special Forces soldier like him should be at. The sound of the gunshot made him very excited! The battlefield made him feel like he was alive and well! This unexpected situation kept his mental state at a constant excited state! He walked between the vines and felt there was an unidentified creature closing in on him. The vignt man cleared his mind, listened to the footsteps, and gestured with his hand to everyone know not to shoot. Its a child! Shao Yibai could tell from the footsteps that two people were stepping on the slippery road and they both weigh less than 45 kg. Not long after, two young boys, one dark-skinned and one faired-skinned, popped out of the bushes at the side and plunged into Shao Yibais arms... Chapter 357 - She Was Indeed 19 Years Old, But She Was Not a Man...

Chapter 357: She Was Indeed 19 Years Old, But She Was Not a Man...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The dark-skin boy groaned in pain and covered his throbbing forehead with his hand. He looked up and Shao Yibais devilishly handsome face that was getting clearer and clearer at the moment as the fog dispersed The fair-skin boy was so stunned he did not dare to even make a sound. All he did was to wrapped his arms around his chest, tears glimmering in his eyes. Big brother, are you all soldiers? The dark-skin boys eyes were beaming as he stared at Shao Yibais army-colored camouge uniform and the glistering gun at this waist. Yes! What are you both afraid of? Shao Yibai asked in a low voice. Someone is chasing after us! said the dark-skin boy in excitement. He suddenly felt as though there was hope for them. At this time, a stream of profanities could be heard behind their backs. If I catch those two brats, Ill shoot them both down! It seemed like fasting them for an entire day was not enough. Ill get them so hungry that theyll not even have the strength to walk. Lets see how they can run... Shao Yibais gaze turned cold. He pulled the two of them behind him and gave a signal to his subordinates with a wave of his hand. The few of them had formed a circle around the area and was ready to ambush the enemies. The dark-skin boy was getting a little excited. He grabbed hold of the fair-skin boys hand tightly and sobbed, Theyre about to fight... Shao Yibais pressed his index finger against his lips, telling them to not make any sound. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Shao Yibai made a three, two sign with his hand, indicating that there were three people and two of whom were trained fighters. The driver was gasping for air as he jogged behind the two idiots. Before he could even make sense of what was going on, a gunshot sounded out of nowhere and Bearded Man Three who was running in the front fell onto the ground. Shit! This is a trap! Bearded Man Two realized that they had been ambushed. He hid in the bushes and prepared himself to fight. The people that Shao Yibai brought along were professionally trained soldiers who had received the best training. However, their opponent was just mere human-trafficking idiots. Therefore, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would be no match for them. A gunshot sounded. Ten minutester, Bearded Man Two who was hiding in the bushes was killed on the spot. The driver also had a gun in his hand, but he was captured without any resistance. The driver was pressed onto the ground. He screamed for mercy, crying with snot running down his face. Where are the rest? Shao Yibai knew that other than drug dealing, this area was also known for human trafficking. Not only weak women and children were their targets, but even young strong adults were also taken for their organs to be sold in the ck market... Therefore, it was impossible that there were only two victims if they were seen to be on the move. These two children must have escaped by themselves. The others are waiting in front, they havent left yet... The driver said, hugging his head and crying. Shao Yibai shouted at the fair skin boy shivering beside him, Come on, lets go save the others! The dark-skin boy jumped out of the bush along with the fair-skin boy. He saw Bearded Man Two who almost managed to assault him turn into a corpse. Even in the brink of death, the man was holding tight onto his gun. His body still looked murderous even in death. The fair-skin boy could not help but turn pale with fright. Shao Yibais action was extremely urate and quick. His eyes were looked murderous. Along with his elite equipment and handsome looks, the dark-skin boy had already be an invested admirer of his. The only thing he had restrained from doing was to throw himself at him! He followed Shao Yibai excitedly and headed in the direction where they had just came from. The remaining few idiots thought that the gunshots were fired by one of them. The bearded manughed and said to hispanion, Second Brother killed the kid, so we have no choice but to collect his corpse! The men burst outughing, and the teenagers next to them covered their mouths out of fear and dared not even to cry out loud. At this moment, both of Shao Yibais daggers flew out of his hands... Half an hourter... Eleven people, including the dark-skin boy and fair-skin boy, were rescued. Send them to the countrys relief station! Shao Yibai made arrangements after checking the goods and the number of people. Some of the teenagers were rejoicing, and some were crying tears of joy. They followed the soldiers to get some food first as they waited for the countrys helicopter to pick them up. However, the fair-skin boy and the dark-skin boy did not move. Big brother, can I stay with you? The dark-skin boy stared at Shao Yibai and asked. The handsome man smiled and asked in a low voice, Whats your name? Tian Qi! The dark-skin man answered firmly with a joyful look on his little face. The Tian from farnd and Qi from seven days [TN: In Chinese characters, the word Tian is the same as the first character of the word of farnd, which is Tian Di; whereas the word Qi is the same as the first character of the word seven days, which is Qi Tian]! Shao Yibai could not help butugh when he heard that. The few Special Forces soldiers next to him saw Tian Qis dark-colored face and could not help butugh along. How old are you? What does your family do? Shao Yibai pinched Tian Qis shoulder. Tian Qi could no longer be considered as a young boy. However, since he had been starved for a long period, he seemed very frail and weak. Reporting sir, Im 18 years old. Im the only one left in the family. Im an orphan! A beautiful woman who was practicing medicine came to the vige and said that she could bring him along to explore the outside world. Tian Qi was a very curious boy, so he followed the beautiful woman out of the mountain, but he found that he was sold to the idiots at the end... Why do you want to follow me? Shao Yibai supressed the urge tough when he saw the serious look on his face and nasked in a low voice. I can hold guns, go on war, and even fill my belly if I follow you! Tian Qi smiled and scratched his head. He was drooling as he stared at the glistering gun Shao Yibai was carrying... Shao Yibai smiled once again, and his gaze fell onto the fair-skin boy whose head was lowered standing at the side. He asked, Whats your name? The fair-skin boy was shocked. He looked left and right only to make sure that this Godlike man had asked him a question. He bit his lips and said with a trembled voice, Su Qing... Su Qingdai! He reported a fake name! He had reservations even towards his savior. It was not that he was ungrateful, but he had been through too much and had already lost his trust in people. After all, it was no other than his parents who had sold him to the human traffickers. She had many siblings at home, and she was the most obedient one. She went to work in the field with her parents during the day and read her brothers books in secret when she went home at night. She had a wish in her heart, which was to be able to go to school if her familys ie had gotten better... Up until one day, her father brought her to the market in the town to buy her food and new clothes. Then, he handed her over to the owner of a shop in the market and told her to do some work there to earn some pocket money. She did not know just then that she was sold by her father! She kept herself busy for an entire day and was rather satisfied with her job. At the very least, she could still make some money. When the night arrived, the old man in the shop took off his clothes and pounced at her. Only then she knew that she was the best looking daughter in the family, but she was still worth only 10,000 yuan... Run! She managed to knocked the drunk old man onto the ground with the stamina she had gained from working so in the field over the past few years. Then, she took some money from the shop and escaped. She ran a dozen miles, cut her hair in another town and bought some mens clothes. Perhaps she was destined to be sold. She fled to the countys town and got on the train with a local job recruiter. She thought that she was on the way to work in the southern region, but it turned out that she was being sold to the border between Yunnan and Myanmar by these idiots... ... Shao Yibai sizedShu Qingdai up and patted her body with his big hand. Then, he said calmly, How old are you? As a man, youre way too thin! Shu Qingdai almost fell into the pit when he patted her. She gathered herself and looked at the man. She could see his sexy throat and strong, big hands. The man spoke mandarin perfectly with a Capital Citys noble ent. His pronounciation was urate, and his tone was pleasant. Shu Qingdai was so shy she could not bring herself to look him in the eye. Im 19 years old... She was indeed 19 years old, but she was not a man... Chapter 358 - Did He Think That Tears Were Tap Water That Could Just Come and Go as He Pleased?

Chapter 358: Did He Think That Tears Were Tap Water That Could Just Come and Go as He Pleased?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai studied Tian Qi and Shu Qingdai as he sat on the bench on one side of the military car. A hesitant look lingered on his face. Tian Qis eyes were filled with anticipation. The only thing was that he was not good with words, so all he said was: I dont want to go back. I want to follow you. This way, Ill get the chance to get y hand on the iron goods as well... He stared and drooled at the guns strapped on the waists of the soldiers passing by him. You want to be a soldier just to hold a gun? Shao Yibai asked with a smile. Tian Qi scratched his head and said embarrassingly, My dad used to be a soldier when he was younger. Later on, he returned home, changed his job, and married my mother. After giving birth to me, they took over the Banpo Mountain at the outer vige and nted fruit trees. Who knew that there was an old minefield halfway up the mountain... Tian Qi sobbed and rubbed his eyes. I was only three or four years old when they died. My grandpa raised me, and the only photos left at home are the pictures of my father when he was a soldier... Shao Yibai and the few soldiers around him listened to his story and remained silent. This was such a story! Shao Yibai could tell that this child was slow and looked up to the military profession. Nheless, the Special Forces were not just ordinary troops. The examination was very strict and it had high requirements for ones physical qualities. Not anyone could enter the team just because they wanted to. He could not promise him his request on the spot. Tian Qi was pretty decent. He had quite a huge physique and was rather tall, but he did not have any muscles on his body. He should be buff when he was fed well enough and would be able to make it with some training. However, this Shu Qingdai was too small, thin, and fair. If he were to wear a wig, people would actually believe that he was a woman... Su Qingdai seemed to have noticed Shao Yibais hesitation. She cleared her throat and dared not look at Shao Yibai. She averted her gaze from the man who was surrounded by an extravagance aura and said calmly, The Special Forces needs an army orderly, right? I... I will do theundry... make the bed and cook... Shao Yibai was filled with joy when he heard it. To be honest, the team that he brought with him did not have an army orderly. These soldiers were once spoiled at home, but they had to learn and practice all kinds of life skills here as they braved the elements. If he were to pick out someone whose job resembled an army orderly in the team, it would be Old Zhou who was responsible for cooking. I cant be sent back home! Shu Qingdai saw that Shao Yibai was not talking and she got a little anxious. The rim of her eyes turned red when she said, I was sold the first time by my... my neighbors... and I was sold the second time because I was deceived... I dont have any education, experience, and talent... Ive never left the town ever since I was a child. If Im being sent back home, Ill end up being sold again in the future... Shao Yibai could not bear to see anyone crying, especially a grown man crying like a woman. Tian Qi quickly added, Im an orphan too, and my grandfather has also passed away. If I were to return home, Ill still be restless! What if Im being cheated again or go on a wrong path? Either way, Ill only follow you! How old are you already? Are you sure youll be cheated and go on the wrong path? Shao Yibai saw that the two of them who looked like they had made up their minds to follow him no matter what! He jumped out of the chair, waved hisrge hand and said with a hoarse voice, Well done, you guys are returning my kindness with ingratitude, and now youre still nning to rely on me? Tian Qiughed shyly and grabbed his already messed up hair. He then nced at Shu Qingdai and whispered, Quick, continue crying... Shu Qingdai could not think of a word to reply. Did he think that tears were tap water that could juste and go as he pleased? Shao Yibai wasughing. Then, he looked at Shu Qingdai and his thin build. He did not know what had struck his mind, or perhaps it was the little guys pretty face that made him unable to shout at her. Follow the team then. Ill submit both of your political review materials to the higher authorities in a while. If youre lucky enough to get through it, youll officially be a soldier! Right after Shao Yibai finished speaking, Tian Qi was so happy that he almost jumped up. Wow, wow, wow! Thats great! I can now be a soldier. Ill be a soldier with guns!! Shao Yibai shook his head and said with a smile, Dont be too happy so soon! Shu Qingdai could not believe that she could join the army. There were so many people in this world who could not be trusted, but the big brother in front of her made her feel rest assured. However, she could never say that she was a woman now. If she were to say it, would he chase her away? Why would a special soldier team that consisted entirely of men bring along a female soldier? What do you need for the political review? Shu Qingdai thought that if he wanted identifications or a household registration book, she would not be able to hide her gender any longer. Could it be that you both are orphans? Shao Yibai asked casually. Shu Qingdai thought for a moment and nodded. Yes! I dont have any documents! But you both are in your teens, its impossible that you dont know your hometown or your home address! It was reasonable to say that adults, even as orphans, should at least have an identification card and a bank ount. We were both born in the mountains. We had never even left the ravine before this. The ce we live is an illegal housing area. There are so many houses in the mountains that do not have a registration... Shu Qingdai was afraid that Shao Yibai would find her biological parents, so in any case, she had to insist that she had nothing. It was true that she had nothing. Her parents love for her and the talk about ethics had turned into 10,000 yuan and disappeared without a trace a long time ago. Shao Yibai sighed and pulled on the cor of his military outfit. He said, Then Ill send in both of your documents using the address of your illegal households. Both of you are in a special situation! The two of them exchanged a look. They were so happy they felt as if their hearts had been squeezed tightly. Shao Yibais mission had failed since he did not catch the drug dealers. However, he did eliminate a human trafficking group and was given two subordinates. He brought the two of them to Yan State which was the nearest city from where they were. Shao Yibai bought them clothes and gave them a haircut. They were nning to go to a sauna together, but Shu Qingdai was somehow frightened by the idea and refused to go right away. Shao Yibai did not force her and returned to the base troops with the two of them. Shao Yibai did not bring too many people with him, so more than half of the soldiers in the military camps were local soldiers. Shao Yibai himself was considered a form of reinforcement, and he had to return to the Capital City after a while. He came all the way here this time purely for the sake of excitement. Someone of his status did not need to do this at all. There were too many military ranks that the young sons of politicians could get their hands on in an era as peaceful as this. Some of them did not need to work hard at all. All they need to do was to train for a few years and then they would be promoted to the military padre. Nevertheless, he had chosen to be a Special Forces soldier. Yan State often received missions from the border. When Shao Yibai heard that they had such reinforcement missions here, he had secretly applied to join behind Old Master Shaos back. * After entering the army, his life had be simple yet refreshing, even a little exciting! Shu Qingdais height actually did not meet the recruiting requirement. Tian Qi was a little easier since his height was just around the minimum requirement. Even so, he was too thin, so he had begun to eat as much as he could to increase his weight after joining the army a few days ago. After everyone had gotten familiar with each other, they started calling Shu Qingdai, Xiaodai. Even she herself almost forgot that her actual name was Shu Qingcheng! One smile from her could overthrow a city and yet another smile could overthrow a country. [TN: A Chinese idiom to describe a beautiful woman who is capable of causing the downfall of a city.] She was fitting for the name. [TN: Shu Qingchengs name sounds simr to the Chinese idiom mentioned above.] A few years of hard work did not make her look worn out. It made her look healthier instead. That was the benefit of youth!

Chapter 359: A House Full of Walking Hormones...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Since the arrival of Su Qingcheng, life in this dull and boring military camp had suddenly be vibrant and alive. Su Qingcheng loved to smile. Her eyes would curve and be filled with tenderness. Her skin that was fair from the inside and out was so extremely soft to the touch. Everyone called her Xiaodai affectionately. They liked to tease her and bully her by asking her to help and wash their smelly socks. As her skin was so fair to the point it almost looked translucent, those soldiers who were older than her would sometimes pinch her cheeks. How nice would it be if theres a girl with such fair and beautiful skin! Its such a waste for you to have it. We could only pinch your face! Su Qingcheng knew that everyone was treating her like a little brother and joking with her, so she took no offense. Tian Qi oftenined, Were all doing the same routine, but why am I so dark? Aftering to the military camp for more than a month, Tian Qi seeded in transforming into a ck fatty from a ck skinny dude. His skin was so dark it had shone brightly in the sunlight. He had also built up tons of muscles. He was literally ck and tough. Su Qingcheng could not help butugh. The ultraviolet rays in Yun Nan is naturally strong in the first ce. I was born in Si Chuan though! Of course, there was another reason for it which was the fact that she was a girl... She had to continue to keep this a secret since she was afraid that she would be forced to leave the military camp because of her gender. Shao Yibai was rather sloppy in this respect, so he did not realize it at all. If he were to observe carefully, he would have noticed it. At least, he would have observed that Su Chengcheng had never taken a shower with them. This was the case every time. Su Qingcheng would only go to the bathhouse to wash up after everyone had gone back to rest, and every time the door on the inside and outside would be locked securely. Additionally, although she was thin, the pectoral muscles on her chest were not small. Although Su Qingcheng had threeyers of chest strap wrapped around her breast, it had proved to be a hassle to masquerade as a man with that size of hers... However, this point did not ur to Shao Yibai at all. The weather had turned cold inte September. The smell of the autumn wind made people feel excited. Shao Yibais troops had been stationed in Yan Zhou for several months now. They had gone through mission after mission. The training was also tough. Weight-bearing running, exposure-endurance body training, target shooting, swimming, 25km off-road marching with 30kg of weights, skydiving training, field survival training... Su Qingcheng saw Tian Qi participating in all of it. When the two of them first arrived, they were so thin. Now, he had sessfully transformed into a handsome young man with a well-built physique and firm muscle blocks. She, on the other hand, was still mingling between the canteen and dormitory, growing fairer and fairer. Su Qingcheng was really worried that one day her cheeks would be crushed between the fingers of these brothers... Finally, she could not bear it anymore and went looking for Shao Yibai for a talk. Brother... Brother Shao... Su Qingcheng did not participate in the training, hence she had no idea what Shao Yibais rank was. She could only call him Brother Shao. Whats the matter? Shao Yibai came back from the training camp and saw Su Qingcheng sitting on the steps with depression written all over her face. In regards to this little brother, Shao Yibai could not bear to let her go. After all, she was the one washing their smelly socks, uniforms, and nkets every day. Then one day, he found that his underwear had even been hand-washed by her... Shao Yibai was not into boys... Now that he had known Xiaodai for quite some time already, he actually pitied her a little. Such a tender little guy was actually a dude. Shao Yibai could not pinch her face or buttocks for no reason like the other soldiers due to his status. If she were a female... Bah! Shao Yibai, what are you thinking about with that mind of yours? Youve got a military rank and is a seniormander from the Capital City. How could you have such thoughts for a man who looks like a kitten... It must be because this area is too secluded. Ive indeed not gone out and wild for a long time... The man could not help butugh at himself. A subtle trace of wickedness lingered on his handsome features, making ones stirred at the sight of it. Brother Shao, I want to join the training too... Su Qingcheng was not a hesitant person, but she was feeling a little shy at the moment. She was aware that with this physique of hers, the chances of her getting epted was extremely low. Moreover, she would feel a kind of inexplicable guilt every time she came face to face with Shao Yibai. His identity was too noble, whereas she was just a country bumpkin... The kind of background gap caused her to have a heart that desired to approach and respect him but also made her felt supremely inferior to him. Shao Yibai regained his neither-good-nor-evil expression and chuckled softly. You want to be like Tianqi? Mm, mm! She nodded like how a chick would. Shao Yibai stared at his pink and tender face and his pair of pitch-ckrge and animated eyes. A feeling of tenderness suddenly arose in his heart. From tomorrow onwards, Ill teach youbat skills. Its absolutely useful for fighting against others and for self-defense. The special forces training isnt something you can endure for sure! Shao Yibai patted Su Qingchengs shoulder with his shovel-like big hand as he spoke. Su Qingcheng felt her shoulder burning and that her feet had sunk three inches into the ground below... She could not be bothered about the pain in her shoulder at this time though. Did Shao Yibai just promise to teach her fighting skills? Teaching her in person? Oh my, I can learn kung fu now? Thank you, Brother Shao... Su Qingcheng was so delighted that she wanted to bounce about. In fact, that was what she did, and she even hopped onto Shao Yibais back... Muacks! She nted a kiss onto the back of Shao Yibais neck... Shao Yibai was speechless. Su Qingcheng was at a loss for words. Uhm... Im just overjoyed, Brother Shao... Su Qingcheng realized that she had forgotten herself amid the excitement. She quickly jumped down from Shao Yibais back and tidied her clothes. Her tiny face was burning hot, and the tinge of redness on it was seductive! Shao Yibai touched the spot that she had kissed on the back of his neck and felt a throbbing heat there. There was an inexplicable kind of feeling. Was he just kissed by a dude? What a f*cking sensation that was! Shao Yibai coughed ufortably. Although he was not as serious as the other military officers, he would also fool around in private in the military camp, get wild and unruly. His level of indulgence would even surpass the rest, so his subordinates feared and loved him at the same time. Like a moon that was surrounded by a myriad of stars, this arrogant man was a revered leader, and he had an excellent family background and upbringing. He was like the devil in training sessions, while he was their leader in private. Everyone would dally with him on and off, but being kissed by his men, this was a first... Your... Your clothes seem to be too small for you... Your belly is always exposed. The next time when you collect a new shirt, ask for a bigger size... Shao Yibai pointed at Su Qingchengs shirt and said quietly in order to alleviate the embarrassment and change the topic. Su Qingcheng looked down. She gave a shout, covered her chest and ran away, leaving Shao Yibai alone and stunned. He wondered if this little fellow was sick in his head. The shirt might have been smaller, but what was there to be excited about? Su Chengcheng cursed herself for being stupid as she ran! Damn. She had forgotten to wear her chest strap. No wonder Shao Yibai thought that the front of her shirt was too short... She had even jumped on his back just now. Did she want to die?! Su Qingcheng covered her face in embarrassment and could not bring herself to see anyone. It was just her bad luck that the team had juste back from their training when she had run all the way to the dormitory. Everyone was exhausted after the day. Each of them took off their shirt and was naked for the top half of their bodies. Wearing only underwear, they brought their toiletries to the shower. Su Qingcheng usually would avoid this moment deliberately by hiding either in the canteen or somewhere around the training ground. She had gotten agitated and forgotten all about this today. She had run into the dormitory straight away... Oh man, this was a house full of walking hormones... Chapter 360 - Dilly-dallying Like A Lady

Chapter 360: Dilly-dallying Like A Lady

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng had no choice but to admit that her life in the military camp was such an abyss of misery. If one did not have any self-control when faced with these muscr machos who would frequently make a show of their masculinity, one would probably have a ruptured vein sooner orter. Fortunately, her mind was pure and simple, so she did not think much about things like that. Truth to be told, she had made her own ns in her heart. The experience of being trafficked twice made her feel a little fearful of the outside world. If she learned kung fu, then she would not need to be afraid of being bullied if she were to venture outter. That was why she was willing to do anything to cling to Shao Yibai! As for the reason for wearing mens clothing, one was to get through all of this easily and gain Shao Yibais trust so that she could obtain the opportunity to learn kung fu. Secondly, her looks were something she should be worried about. Even though she was masquerading as a boy, she was still pinched by others at the cheeks and butt all the time. If she were to walk around as a female, she could not imagine how much trouble would arise. Wait until after she had learned kungfu, things would be different then. She could protect herself by then and would not have to worry about being pounced on by any men... Perhaps, if she chanced upon someone she liked, she could pounce on him instead? Souga (TN: a Japanese term which means so, thats what it is.)! Su Qingcheng worked out her ns and found herself anticipating whatever her future held for her. The next day, Su Qingcheng was already dressed neatly and waiting in front of his dormitory before Shao Yibai hade back from his morning training. Out of sheer boredom, she sat down on the steps and fixed her eyes at the training ground not far away, watching those hormones doing their weight-bearing running while sweating. She saw Shao Yibais gorgeous frame from the back. Even in the midst of so many handsome men, he was still as outstanding as ever. Su Qingcheng blushed a little when she recalled yesterdays gaffe... Hey! What are you thinking about? When Tian Qi returned from the morning training, he saw Su Qingcheng sitting on the steps daydreaming, so he patted her on the shoulder. No...nothing! Su Qingcheng was waiting for Shao Yibai. When Shao Yibai had finished his breakfast after the morning training, he would be able to teach her king fu then. Su Qingcheng did not want everyone to know about it. Maybe it was because of her guilty conscience! She wanted to spend time with Shao Yibai alone. At least, her stupid side would only be seen by him. When Shao Yibai came back, he saw Su Qingcheng looking at himself with her adorablerge eyes. The striking man retrieved a white towel from the towel rack to wipe his sweat and said, Go have your breakfast. Ill take you to thebat hall after that! Su Qingcheng gorged herself on the food. After having her fill, she did not help Master Zhou and the rest to clean up the dishes as she usually did but ran off in the direction of thebat hall. Yan Zhou was, after all, not a big city. The facilities here were rtively simple. Thebat hall here was only built after Shao Yibai went and applied for funding. There were two floors to the hall. On the first floor was a small and standardizedpetitive performance stage while the second floor was mainly used as the grandstand. Usually, allbat performances orpetitions in the troops would happen here. After taking a shower, the man changed into a light camouge suit andbat boots. Shao Yibai could always switch easily between his good and evil charming aura. Combat itself is an ancient skill. Its a skill because its purpose is contrary to the purpose of most sports. Before the start of a match in Taekwondo, both parties will greet each other by bowing; in fencing, both parties would greet each other with their sword before attacking... Shao Yibai first briefed Su Qingcheng on some basic knowledge. The little girls education level was not high. However, she was rather smart during her schooling days. If not for her familys poverty and miserable lifes journey, she would have had prospered well academically. Her beautiful and lively eyes were fixed on Shao Yibai who was standing opposite of her. She listened carefully to the mans charming and maic voice, feeling both envious and jealous. One really could notpare ones self with others. The man in front of her was simply the darling of the creator. He was excellent in whichever aspect one looked atappearance, education, and family background. How lucky he was to also be born with such handsome looks at the same time. He attempted a few demonstrations while briefing Su Qingcheng. What Ive told you just now only apply topetitions and performances. Hmm, that is to say, theyre all useless in real life! Su Qingcheng was speechless. Ah... Damn, what was the point of telling her when there was no use to it... Therere many types ofbat. Regardless of the variety, defeating your opponent in the quickest, ruthless, and most efficient manner is the basic requirement for fighters. Hence, Ill be teaching you actualbat skills. Your attacks must be steady, precise, and ruthless. Your goal is to defeat your opponent. You could even use crafty methods... The man smiled. For example, Monkey Stealing Peaches (TN: a shady trick that involves the grabbing of a mans crotch). If this trick could be executed, theres no need to be polite with the other party! Su Qingcheng had no words for that. Shao Yibai watched Su Qingchengs face turned from white to pink. A kind of inexplicable shyness could be seen from her face, and he sighed in his heart that such a fellow was no better than those who did not have any peaches in their pants... Shao Yibai did not teach her any moves, but he had her underwent a series of physical training the whole morning. . Frog jump, push-ups, sit-ups, handstand walking... Whenever she did not do well, Shao Yibai would kick her in her ass... She gritted her teeth in pain andmented in her heart. All the other big brothers liked her little ass. He could let it go when they tried to pinch it a few times, but he never f*cking pinch. He just kicked instead! No wonder those soldiers who had trained under him called him the Great Devil behind his back. They both loved and hated him at the same time. He would really show nopassion whatsoever when he was strict. Almost half of the soldiers in the camp had been hit by him. In the end, the training ended with Su Qingcheng lying exhaustedly face down in thepetition hall. Your physicality is extremely weak! Shao Yibaimented with a frown when he saw Su Qingcheng lying on the ground like a dead cat without moving at all. Su Qingcheng quietly greeted his entire family in his heart (TN: greeting ones family is a derogatory phrase for cursing the other partys family members). For four hours straight, she was tormented non-stop, and still, heined that she was not persistent enough. Did he have any humanity in him? However, she did notin. After all, learning kung fu was what she had wanted. Do you need me to carry you to lunch ? Shao Yibai knelt down to pull Su Qingcheng up from the ground as he spoke. Her legs were indeed feeble, and she was dizzy from hunger. Would it not be too shameful though if she were to let Shao Yibai carry her to the canteen? I... I can go by myself... Su Qingcheng gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but the frog-jumps just now had caused her legs to be so sore that no strength was left in them. She flopped to the ground right away. She nced embarrassingly at the man who was standing beside her with his arms on his waist. Her face flushed red instantly. Youre dilly-dallying just like ady! Shao Yibai chided. He suddenly tugged her arms and pulled her up from behind. Holding her two arms, he carried her on his back. Su Qingcheng muttered, Brother Shao, I... I can walk... She struggled toe down, but Shao Yibais face turned cold. He said, Dont be stubborn! Well continue training in the afternoon after we had lunch! Su Qingcheng was at a loss for words. Her fragile life demanded an exnation to all this suffering! Chapter 361 - I Keep Having All Kinds of Whimsy Thoughts for a Man Recently

Chapter 361: I Keep Having All Kinds of Whimsy Thoughts for a Man Recently

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She wrapped her two slender legs around the mans waist. Her hand embraced his neck from behind, and she buried her head in the spot beside his neck. He was not sweating at all, but she had begun perspiring all over. The scent of the shampoo on his body mixed with the odor of male hormones were wafting into her nostrils and invading her olfactory senses! The mans voice was sonorous and hoarse with a bit of maic sense. He remarked, Xiaodai, youre not more than 100 pounds, I suppose? With this physique of yours, youre no different from a woman... Su Qingchengs face flushed red when she heard him. His seemingly regretful tone caused this ignorant young girl who had been mingling amid various kinds of hormonal tough guys every day to feel a strange tremor in her heart. She had not fallen in love before. In her secluded past life, she had notmunicated with any men other than her brothers at home. Hence, when she first came to the military camp, she only regarded those studmuffins as her own brothers. Those soldiers would make obscene jokes in the dormitory. She wouldugh along with them even when she could not understand some of them. Even if she got the joke, she would not shy away from it. She was so deeply engrossed in the character she had to y that she had almost forgotten she was a girl... However, the kind of intense tremors felt within her soul would cause her to blush easily and swelter whenever she met Shao Yibai. She even felt the impulse to avoid him, but somewhere in her heart also yearned secretly toe into contact with him. Many yearster, when Su Qingcheng recalled her days in Yan Zhou, only then did she realize that that kind of feeling was known as having a crush. A young girls first love had just bloomed. Her gray and blurry life had been invaded by a man whose body radiated golden light. He had torn open her dark heart and invited himself in airily! He was made of sunshine, so much so that she could not ignore his existence. He was crude in most matters but refined in some. His seemingly aggressive and temperamental manner of going about things actually blended perfectly well with the expensive air of a well-bred gentlemaning off from him. Su Qingcheng ced her face on Shao Yibais back and could not suppress the delight in her heart. She was enjoying the feeling ofing into contact with him. Suddenly, a naive voice sounded from behind her back, and what followed was a pat on her buttocks. Xiaodai, whats up with you? You even dare to have our boss carry you over? Tian Qi asked gleefully as he approached. D*mn your sister! My ass! Could it be simply hit by anyone? Brother Shao, please let me down... Su Qingcheng saw that there were more and more people mingling around the canteen. She thought that it would not be a good idea for Shao Yibai to continue carrying her, so she struggled to jump down. Shao Yibai did not stop her. He dropped her down from his back and cast a look at Tian Qi. These two fellows hade to the military camp together. If one were topare the both of them side by side now, Tian Qi had gone through enough training and became darker and tougher just like a rock while Xiaodai was still fair and tender, charming like a bulrush. Shao Yibais imagined Su Qingcheng having trained into Tian Qis physique and actually felt a great sense of reluctance in his heart to let it happen. This was also why he had chosen to train her in the indoor arena. He had his own selfish motive for that. He did not wish for this fair and tender fellow to be a rough guy like Tian Qi... How f*cking ugly! Shao Yibai said without rhyme or reason. The handsome man turned to leave and headed to the canteen area that was designated for sergeants. Tian Qi was holding a half-eaten bun in his hand and was about to stuff it into his mouth. When he heard Shao Yibais remark before thetter left, he looked left and right and found that there was no one else present but Su Qingcheng and himself. Shao Yibai could not be talking about Xiaodai, then he must be referring to himself? Waa~ Mom, he swore at me!! How devastating! ... The days Su Qingcheng spent learning kung fu with Shao Yibai past happily. . She made rapid progress. Shao Yibai eximed that although she looked weak, there was an air of arrogance in her bones. She was tough, and he now had a whole new level of respect for her. After two consecutive months of physical training, she had now developed V-line and toned abs. She had massive improvements in leaping, stretching and other aspects of physical fitness. There was even a change in the way she carried herself. She had grown from the weak and thin little girl she once was and had be fitter and much more confident. Shao Yibai felt sentimental about her change and was delighted to have witnessed it as well. He was d that she had finally developed some machoness... Shao Yibaisbat technique was very famous in the Capital City. Plus, he liked to delve into the art of it. He had incorporated his own understanding and improvisation into his movements and tactics. In the closebat club in Country Z, Shao Yibai had been on the top ten list all year long. One could envision how quick Su Qingcheng, who had been trained under him, could master the various skills of a melee attack. The way Su Qingcheng addressed Shao Yibai had also changed from Brother Shao to Master. Master, let me help you get your meal... Master, let me give you two more pieces of meat... Master, I want to join you all in the next field survival training... Master... Wukong, can I have some peace and quiet for a while? 1 Shao Yibai did not expect the fair-skin boy who was once shy and quiet could be such a chatterbox! Su Qingcheng, though being reprimanded, was smiling so big her eyes curved. Her two shallow dimples almost made Shao Yibai fell into a daze staring at them. Damn! It must be because he had not gone out and let loose for a long time. That was why he would constantly have some whimsy thoughts for a boy! Shao Yibai could not find a suitable reason to convince himself. The time he had spent with Xiaodai had indeed felt fleeting. So much so that every week he went for the field survival training, he would keep thinking of him who had been left behind! How could this be? Shao Yibai studied in the military academy, and the people he had encountered there were mostly men. A lot of them were tough guys as well. Seeing such a soft and cute guy like Xiaodai was also a first for him. He began to worry whether this abnormal reaction of his meant that he was to take the route of a homosexual? Shao Yibai had many friends since he was young, but his most trusted ymate was his older cousin brother. After eating, Shao Yibai returned to the camp office and gave Yuan Xuan a call. Between them was a 7-hour time difference, and Yuan Xuan was still asleep. Yuan Xuan was somewhat confused when he saw Shao Yibais number. Youre at the military area. Arent you not allowed to use your mobile phone? Yuan Xuans sweet dreams were disturbed, so the usually modest gentleman was slightly annoyed. Yuan Xuan, I have something to tell you! Shao Yibais tone sounded serious. His character was different from Yuan Xuan. Yuan Xuan could have a secret buried deep in his heart for more than ten years. He could love someone and protect her quietly by the side. On the other hand, Shao Yibai was someone who frankly. Mr Shao, speak up! The tone of the man eased down. The early morning in the UK was infused with mist, and dew was falling from the leaves of the guava tree in front of the window onto the ground. Yuan Xuan looked at the clock on the wall. Since he had already woken up, he might as well listen to Shao Yibais distress. Perhaps, his happiness could be built on Shap Yibais misery... Souga! What a bad friend he was indeed! I keep having all kinds of whimsy thoughts for a man recently... As Shao Yibai said, he looked through the office window and saw Su Qingcheng holding the water hose from the camp garden. She was aiming at Tian Qi and had made him soaking wet while she only giggled mischievously! Chapter 362 - Can You Not Look at Me with Such a Dumb Face?

Chapter 362: Can You Not Look at Me with Such a Dumb Face?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Yuan Xuan heard Shao Yibais statement, he could not help but be stunned. Shao Yibai had lived an unfettered life since young. With the love his parents hadvished on him, coupled with his perfect family environment and his family background, this had led him to develop a fearless character. The traces of the young man of aristocratic families who had been spoiledconceited and arrogant, were etched in his bones. Even so, he could not get rid of the seal and restraint that came with his birth status. If he had liked men, he would definitely be rejected by the people in his circle. This was probably the reason why Shao Yibai was distressed. Do you really like men? Yuan Xuan asked ording to his understanding. Yuan Xuan sat by the window. In the old building, the lights were dim, and the atmosphere was tranquil. The man was fiddling with a crystal photo frame on the table, and the woman in the photo was Mu Chenyan. Im not sure either! This was the first time Shao Yibai felt so helpless. His sullen voice sounded, To be exact, I was hoping hes a woman... Then, do you or do you not like him? Yuan Xuan could not understand what Shao Yibai had meant, but he knew that it could not be a simple matter if it could trouble this bandit-like warrior. Shao Yibai simply recounted what had happened recently. From the rescue of the two little demons to the moments spent with Su Qingcheng, and how his rtionship with her changed from being a savior to her master. In the end, he pinched the spot between his eyebrows and queried, Could it be that because I havent been dating for a long time, and I havent touched any woman in the luded circle of mine, so theres now a problem with my physiological needs? If you like the person, why do you care whether hes a male or female? Yuan Xuan smirked. At least, that was how it was with him. Why was there a need to bother about her identity as long as he liked her? The man gazed at Mu Chenyan in the photo frame. But I like women! Shao Yibai spat in dissatisfaction. Then, are you thinking of asking that little fellow to undergo a sex reassignment surgery to satisfy you? Yuan Xuan smiled inly and asked. The sky was brightening up. He always had trouble sleeping at night. Since Shao Yibais distress had not been resolved, his ns on catching up with his sleep could not be implemented. What nonsense. Shao Yibai was somewhat depressed. Although Xiaodai was forlorn, it did not mean that she was someone without a mind of her own and was one to be shoved about by others. On the contrary, Su Qingcheng was very stubborn, and there was a kind of unyielding air deep within her which could be seen during those training sessions he had with her. It even made him have a whole new level of respect for her. Then, stay away from that little guy. After a while, if those absurd ideas still remain when the sensation of novelty is over, then why care about whether hes a male or woman? Just include her into your harem! Shao Yibai began to seriously consider Yuan Xuans proposal when he hang up the call. He reasoned that he just feltfortable when he was with Xiaodai, but how could that be the determining factor that he liked him? He might just be overthinking! ... Captain Shao, about the overseas capture mission this time, I want in too... Tian Qi had been pestering Shao Yibai for two days about this. Yan Zhou was located at the border, so it was not and of peace. On top of that, the harsh environments with the batches of garrison troops had been changed one after another. Shao Yibais elite special forces were considered one of the troops that had been stationed here for a rtively long time. They had coborated with the localrades the most too. This time, they had received orders from their superiors to join hands with theirrades at the Yun Nan-Burma border to ambush a group of drug dealers hiding in the jungle. His heart became restless when Tian Qi first got hold of the news. He had not participated in any actual mission. Back then, he had dreamt of putting on a military uniform, having his tummy filled, and carrying a gun to war. Two of them had been fulfilled, and now thest wish remained to be realized through actualbat. Shao Yibai was hesitant. Tian Qis closebat skill, shooting skill, and physical strength had improved rapidly. He even caught up with the veterans who had been training for several years under Shao Yibai, but he still did not want to take him along. After all, such actualbat was actually very dangerous. It was equal to living life on the edge and hanging his life hang on a thread. Captain Shao, if you dont bring Tian Qi along, he wont be ready for war when he really has to go on the battlefield next time. Liu Tong, the staff officer, pleaded for Tian Qi. Shao Yibai thought about it for a while. There were indeed not as many people who hade with him this time. It would be extremely advantageous to have an additional elite infantry in action in this kind of jungle warfare. Hence, Tian Qi won himself the opportunity to go into battle for the first time. The beaming Tian Qi went to organize his equipment immediately. The helicopters that were to pick them up were on standby at the military airport not far away. Su Qingcheng panic when she got hold of the news. Now even Tian Qi had joined the battle, but she was to remain here as a logistics security personnel? Im going too! Su Qingchengs little hand grabbed Shao Yibais armor bag. Biting her lip, she stopped talking after spitting those three words. She was determined to express her firm desire to go along. Shao Yibais lips twitched and was on the verge of anger. It was a perilous ce. Was she going there to die? However, seeing the pitiful face on Xiaodai, the fire that he could easily vent on others somehow could not be spewed out when the person was him. You cant even fire a gun. Are you going there to be a target? Whats more, taking someone like you along who cant even protect yourself would only cause us trouble and not be of any help. I dont have time to keep an eye on you! When Shao Yibai made those remarks, Su Qingchengs face paled, but she was still unwilling to resign. Furthermore, what are you pestering me non-stop? Ive already taught you kung fu, but with your physical quality, you cant make it into the special forces. Later on, Ill have the team send you to the military school to study. Dont keep following me around! Shao Yibais voice was not loud, but he did mock Su Qingcheng mercilessly, wanting to drive her away... He knew that she had great pride deep within her. If he did not give her a blow, she might stick onto him forever. Although ridiculing her was somewhat ruthless, it was better than having her life sacrificed. Sure enough, Su Qingchengs hands loosened from the backpack, and her eyes reddened. Liu Tong lowered his head. Having been around Shao Yibais side for many years and obtaining the position of a staff instructor, he had long since possessed the skill of taking notice of every movement or change of expression. He saw the expression on Su Qingchengs face was not only sad, but there was also disappointment and devastation. There was even an inexplicable tremor of surprise... Liu Tong tugged at Shao Yibais sleeves. Captain Shao... Shao Yibai was also aware that what he had said was very hurtful and harsh. However, Xiaodai would make him unable to focus on the task at hand, so he could never take her with him. That was for sure. ... The troop set out with three military helicopters letting out booming roars and cutting through the sky. The turbulent wind stirred up by the propellers ruffled Su Qingchengs hair. She tilted her head up the sky and stared at the helicopters flying farther and farther away... ... This mission turned out to be harder than everyone had expected. This tropical monsoon climate zone with an average annual temperature of 28 degrees had some ushered in a storm, and raining here was equivalent to the winter season. Whether it was the special forces or the local anti-drug team agents, both parties had spent a lot of mental and physical energy in this confrontation having contended with the drug traffickers who were hiding in the dense forest for almost a week. Joining in onbat that went on for a long time could get one exhausted easily. For the elite special forces whose strength was in a quick and precise battle, this was their biggest bug. ... After half a month... There was finally good news from the frontline. Those drug traffickers who had run away were all arrested in a siege battle. Just as Su Qingcheng thought that Tian Qi, Shao Yibai and the rest wereing back, the Yan Zhou garrison station suddenly needed another group of soldiers. Su Qingcheng could not make sense of it. They were supposed to return, so why did this side have to send people over? Su Qingcheng was worried. She ran to catch hold of Zhang Han before thest batch of rescue team left. Zhang Han, the garrisonmander of Yan Zhou, knew Su Qingcheng. He also knew that she was the little kid who Shao Yibai had rescued. He could not hide the news anymore. Little Su, theres unfortunate news... Zhang Han saw as Su Qingchengs face grown pale, and he suddenly could not bear to continue. Has something... something happened to Brother Shao? The first thing Su Qingcheng thought to ask was that. Her eyes reddened and her fingertips trembled. She forced herself to calm down as she stared at Zhang Han. Dont panic! Zhang Han now had a headache. He did not know how to pacify those in the Capital City yet, and there was already this other trouble right in front of him. While they were carrying out the mission, the small team led by Captain Shao had a fierce confrontation with the other party during the process of besieging. Youre also aware that the trees in the mountains are concentrated and tall. Captain Shao and the others were separated from one another, and we still cant find them yet. The troop sent over this time is to enter and search the mountain... Im going too! The rim of Su Qingchengs eyes was crimson in color. What she made was a statement rather than a plea. Please make the necessary arrangement for a spot for me on the helicopter for this round of dispatch! Su Qingcheng returned to the camp dormitory to pack up her his own field survival kit upon finishing her order. Zhang Han was shocked by her behavior just now. After all, he had been in the army for more than ten years, and he had not ordered his men around as such. If it was not for the special forces sent by the Capital City camping at his territory, he would be the boss here! Shao Yibai was the bandit leader who did not y his cards ording tomon sense. The apprentice he was training also had the same temperament as him... ... Su Qingcheng had not participated in any actual field survival training before. Fortunately, the ce where she was born was full of mountains. The experience she had while growing up in the mountains for so many years had made her unafraid of such difficulty. She had changed into a tight-fitting camouge suit and brought along the field survival gear she thought she could use. Before this, Tian Qi would recount his experience to her every time he came back from his field survival training. Su Qingcheng would listen to his experience and pick up a few things here and there at the same time. She did not expect that the knowledge woulde in handy this time. However, she would rather not use that knowledge than to lose contact with Shao Yibai. ... Yan Zhou was very close to Wu Yuan. When they had arrived in Wu Yuan County, the people in the army did not stop to rest for a moment. They entered the mountain right away. In addition to the people brought by Shao Yibai and the men sent by the local police station, coupled with the newest batch including Su Qingcheng, there were more than 500 people sweeping the mountain and forest for Shao Yibai and his team members. On the second day of entering the mountain, three soldiers who had lost contact with Shao Yibai were found. Their vital signs were good even though they were injured. This made Su Qingcheng both happy and anxious. Shao Yibai must be alive! Where was he then? Su Qingcheng waited in anxiety, anticipation, and panic. She worked tirelessly during the search hours. She did not speak or rest, even to the extent of not eating nor drinking. She did not feel hungry at all. She never knew she could care about a person this much. Deep in the jungle, there were a lot of gullies. On the third day of entering the mountain, Su Qingcheng finally fell into a ravine! She grabbed onto the branches and leaves to stop herself from sliding down too fast. Otherwise, just the branches on both sides of the ravine alone would break her fine and tender skin. I havent saved anyone, yet Ive gotten myself into danger! Su Qingcheng was extremely annoyed that she wanted to swear at her mom, but when she thought about it, she did not even have a mother, so what was there to curse about? Fortunately, the backpack was still strapped on her back, and there were water and food as well as a wireless inte. Su Qingcheng let out a long sigh of relief and could not be bothered about her bleeding arm for now. She gripped the branches of the vines to prevent herself from sliding further down the ravine and took out the carabiner lock from her backpack with another hand. Using only one hand to support herself had depleted her energy pretty quickly, and the slippery slope made her slide down a dozen meters. Damn. Do the heavens want me dead? Even if Im to die, at least let me find Shao Yibai first... I... havent told him that... I like him... Su Qingcheng clutched onto the vines,id on the slippery slope and cried. After so many days, she finally understood one thing. The reason for the blushing of her face and her rapid heartbeat whenever she was with Shao Yibai was because he had a ce in her heart. Just when she made sense of this fact though, she had to face the pain of losing Shao Yibai. When she was abandoned by her parents, trafficked twice, beaten, chided, ridiculed, and nearly vited, she did not feel such agony as she did now nor had she wept out loud. Right now though, she really wanted to argue with the heavens. What was the reason for hurling so many miserable events at her? Why was she so unfavored? Who? Whos up there... Suddenly, a weak voice traveled from the shadows at the bottom of the slope. Even though the person with the hoarse voice sounded injured, one could still feel the masculinity of a man from it. Shao Yibai?? Is it you? Su Qingcheng sobbed and shouted. The woman who was just screaming about how unjust the heavens was was instantly filled with gratitude toward the heavens! How fortunate was her to have slipped down this slope! Haha, its me... What were you ranting crazily about? Shao Yibai said whileughing. Where are you? Howe I cant see you? Su Qingcheng could sense the weakness in his voice. Indeed, he had lost contact with them for three days, and he probably had nothing to eat all this time. Even a tough guy could die of hunger. Su Qingcheng followed the source of his voice and moved over slowly by clutching onto the vines. A man was lying on a slightly tter tform down the slope. Since he was wearing a military green camouge uniform, one could not really find him if they did not look carefully. Master... It really is you! Su Qingcheng cried and rushed over to him. Hugging the wounded man and shuddering, she cried until she was exhausted. Shao Yibais expression was of a disgusted one. He moved his limbs which had suffered bone fractures on many parts and said, Can you not look at me with such a dumb face? Im hungry and would like to have some food. Did you bring any? Even when the handsome man was in danger, he was still wearing that proud and uninhibited expression. His smile was still the same carefree smile as always. He smirked as he looked at Su Qingcheng, not wanting her to think that he was at the brink of death! Nevertheless, only heavens knew how much pain he was in! He had been stuck here for three days. If not for the multiple fractures on his body, he could definitely have climbed up here with his skills. Seeing that he still had the mood to make jokes, Su Qingcheng broke intoughter. She took out the vacuum packed biscuits and mineral water from her backpack immediately. How do you feel? When Su Qingcheng saw Shao Yibai had only one small bite of the biscuit but drank lots of water, she thought that his internal organs were injured and could not help but get nervous. Im fine! There were a few scratches on Shao Yibais face, but he looked really charming from a certain angle. . Cant eat too much. Im not sure if Ill die. If I do, I cant be wasting your food. You have to wait here for the rescue... Su Qingcheng mped her hand over his mouth and cried, I wont let you die... If you die, Im not going to continue living in this world... This silly woman! The situation had not taken a turn for the worse, but she was already thinking of dying for love! Shao Yibai looked at him and sneered sinisterly, What did you shout at the heavens halfway down the slope just now? Chapter 363 - Master, Did You Knock Your Head Too Hard?

Chapter 363: Master, Did You Knock Your Head Too Hard?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai looked at his crying manner, and it moved the softest part of his heart. The man sneered sinisterly, Just now, what did you shout at the heavens halfway down the slope? Su Qingcheng was stunned. For a moment, she could not recall which sentence he meant. Shao Yibai thought she was pretending to be confused and continued to prompt, You said that you wanted to tell me something? Su Qingcheng suddenly remembered. She had said that she liked Shao Yibai earlier on... I... I didnt say anything... Coming face to face with the person concerned at this moment, Su Qingcheng denied in shock. Her face flushed red as she avoided Shao Yibais burning gaze. With her current identity and status, how could she admit that she liked Shao Yibai? Earlier on, it was only because her life was hanging by a thread, so she vented her resentments to the heavens. Now that she had found Shao Yibai, all thoseints had turned into gratitude. Her solitary courage had dissipated, and she was now a coward! In the current life and death situation, how could Shao Yibai still have the mood to ask that? Seriously! She was really dumbfounded at him! Shao Yibai did not believe her. He smiled and continued asking, The slope is open and wide. Ive heard everything! Oh no, this... Su Qingcheng was so nervous that she moved her body to one side and mumbled, What did you hear? I didnt... say anything... Shao Yibai sighed and straightened out his body. The slow and deliberate movement rmed Su Qingcheng as she thought he was going to die... In actual fact, Shao Yibais mind and body just felt rxed. In the tens of hours of being trapped here, apart from his parents and friends, the thoughts that went through his head the most were all about Xiaodai. He had many soldiers under him, many of whom they had been through life and death together, but he did not think that much about them. Even if he died, those people would still live well. There was no need for him to be concern of them. However, Xiaodai was different. He clearly remembered when their training was over one day, Shao Yibai came out of the training hall with Xiaodai on his back as usual. He lied on his back and said affectionately. Master, youre the best man in the world! I dont trust anyone, but I trust you the most... (Speaking of which, dear Su Xiaodai, your act of lying on Mr Shaos back at every turn gives us reason to doubt your motive, haha...) Shao Yibai knew that the experience of he being trafficked caused him to have an instinctive sense of rejection to the outside world. That was why Shao Yibai gave some thoughts to sending Xiaodai to school. With kung fu and education, it would be easier for him to live in the world. He would also get to build a strong inner world and integrate into the normal life... However, if he were to die, what would happen to Xiaodai? As Shao Yibai pondered the matter, a surge of gratitude rose from his heart. Regardless of whether he could make it out of here alive, being able to see this person whom he missed very much at the final moments of his life, he had to say that he was extremely lucky. Xiaodai! Hmm? Su Qingcheng was retrieving the wireless inte equipment from her bag to begin adjusting the frequency. Hence, though Shao Yibai was speaking to her, she answered him absent-mindedly. If I die here... No nonsense! Su Qingcheng put down the equipment and was somewhat annoyed. Her eyes reddened. If she was not aware of the multiple fractures on Shao Yibai, she really wanted to give him a few kicks. I just said if... Shao Yibai continued saying, and a warm smile emerged on his charming face. There are no ifs! Su Qingcheng stopped him from speaking further. When you leave me in the future, you have to continue living well. Ive arranged a school for you to study. Also, when you meet... a girl you like next time... get married and have kids. You can have a good life. Dont think about bing a soldier. Youre not fit for it... The tone Shao Yibai used, as if he was saying his final words, displeased Su Qingcheng greatly. Can you not talk? Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him. Youve been trapped here for three days, yet youve not died. Do you think Ill let you die now that Ivee to you? This ce was too secluded. Su Qingcheng observed that if they were to climb up, it was not an issue given their abilities. However, Shao Yibai was seriously injured now, so the option of climbing was unrealistic. There was still no responding signal from the wireless inte. At this time, she figured she could have a good chat with Shao Yibai. Master... What? Shao Yibai was about to close his eyes when Su Qingcheng woke him up. Youre not allowed to sleep! What a mannerism of an overbearing CEO... Hehe... Shao Yibai deliberately teased him. Actually, he knew Su Qingcheng was worried that he would fall asleep. I... Ive always got something to ask you... Su Qingcheng hummed and hawed. . If you have something to say, then spit it out! Humming and hawing like a girl. You really should have your hormones checked to see whether you have problems with secreting hormones properly... Shao Yibais poisonous tongue was really ruthless. Theres no need for them to be secreted in the first ce! Su Qingchengs eyes reddened. She turned her face to one side and avoided Shao Yibais gaze. She then said with a trembling voice. From the beginning... Ive lied to all of you... I... Im actually a girl... F*ck me. What did you say... Ouch... Shao Yibai was so excited that he struggled to get up, but because of the excessive movement, he pulled the wound on his body. The pain caused by the fracture could not be bear even by a tough guy like him. Dont simply move... Su Qingcheng immediately held Shao Yibai out of fright. She did not know why Shao Yibais response to this news was this huge. Hahahahahaha... After Shao Yibaiid down and rxed, he could not help but guffawed. They were halfway down the slope of a valley, and the surrounding was open and spacious. Hisughter was magnified in this semi-enclosed space, making the atmosphere eerie. Su Qingchengs heart shuddered. She slowly asked, Master, what are youughing at? Im happy! Shao Yibai suddenly felt that his current mood was so pleasant to an extent that was beyond his imagination. Even though he was in a dangerous situation, he still thanked the heavens! Happy? Su Qingcheng initially thought that after letting this secret out, Shao Yibai would be furious at her for deceiving him and he would swear at her. However, he was happy? Yeah! Im extremely happy! Xiaodai, youre so cute. Ive been fooled by you...! Shao Yibais words were out of logic. Su Qingcheng was muddle-headed and wondered whether he was really delighted or that he was over-enraged at her... Brother Shao, I didnt deliberately lie to you... I was afraid. At that time, if I said that I was a girl, you would surely not take me to the domestic relief station. Id still have to work my way through the bottom level of society to survive, unable to protect myself... As if she was doing a self-reflection, Su Qingcheng poured out a bunch of words all of a sudden. Her eyes were red, and her expression was bitter. After she had finished, she looked up at Shao Yibai. The mans deep and narrow eyes were full of joy. There was no hint of me at all. This cause Su Qingcheng to be a little flustered. Brother Shao... Master... Is your... Did you knock your head too hard? While speaking, she reached out to touch his forehead. Chapter 364 - Relax, You Can’t Get Pregnant Just by Kissing

Chapter 364: Rx, You Cant Get Pregnant Just by Kissing

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Big Brother Shao... Master... That... Did you fall and hurt your head? She touched the mans forehead with her cool little hands as she spoke. Shao Yibai remained silent with his eyes closed. He was simply enjoying theforting feeling of being with her. Su Qingchengs pale little face was tinged with rosiness while the tip of her nose was smeared with dirt. Her adorable and clumsy appearance was unbelievably alluring. It was unfortunate that Shao Yibai was out of action now. He would have pounced on her otherwise... Was she really a woman? He was on cloud nine because the problem that been troubling him for the past few days had been resolved just like that. It would be worth it even if I died now... The man sighed in his deep voice. Shao Yibai was restless, but his expression was slowly rxing. He sighed quietly and felt very pleased. He remembered when he was first recruited into the army, when he held a gun for the first time, hen he had captured the first enemy during their mission. He also remembered the moment when he became the seniormander of Capital Citys nth special forces unit... This was exactly how he had felt in those moments he had just recalled. He was in a state ofplete bliss. He savored the familiar feeling of getting exactly what he wanted. Big Brother Shao, Big Brother Shao... Dont die... Open your eyes... Su Qingcheng obviously had no idea about what was going on with Shao Yibai. She saw his closed eyes and the smile on his lips. His body waspletely still, and she thought that he was about to draw hisst breath. An idea popped up in Shao Yibais mind. He kept his eyes closed and continued to pretend that he was dead. Shao Yibai... You cant die... Su Qingcheng became terribly anxious when she noticed that Shao Yibais eyes were still closed after she shook him twice. She propped herself up and moved a finger under his nose. She realized that his breathing was getting weaker by the second. She said with tears streaming down her face, Shao Yibai, I... Im going to perform CPR on you. Dont be afraid... The woman turned over and mbered up. She kneeled next to Shao Yibais body and reached out to undo the buttons at Shao Yibais cor. She had participated in the training activities that taught them basic skills in the army. She ced her palms together before pressing them against Shao Yibais chest to resuscitate his heart. After that, she took a deep breath and pinched Shao Yibais nose with one hand while cing her mouth directly against his lips... When their lips touched, the cool sensation made Su Qingchengs heart tremble. Mmm... Shao Yibai reached out and held Su Qingchengs face against him out of nowhere. He turned over and pressed her onto the ground. His flexible tongue had entered her mouth with impatience. She had never kissed anyone before. All she registered right now was how nk her mind was. He covered her little lips with his own again and again and inhaled her natural scent that was unique to her only. This womans body was supple and fragrant. She whimpered quietly as her body trembled from her own inexperience. She was as pitiful as a helpless kitten! Once Shao Yibai became aware of this pleasant sensation, he gradually became more forceful when he pressed against her lips. It seemed as though he wanted to swallow herpletely... Ahh... The woman resisted by letting out small voices. Theck of oxygen was making her feel as though she was being suffocated. Her little hands began to push the mans chest away in protest. Su Qingcheng did not dare to push him away with too much force since his body was injured. She could merely use her gaze to beg him to stop. Shao Yibai ravished her for another few minutes and let out a satisfied expression. He smiled silently when he saw that her lips were slightly swollen after he had sucked on them. Su Qingcheng trembled and blushed when she saw the delighted look in that mans eyes and the smile on the corners of his lips. How did they end up kissing? The plot of the story had been changed so abruptly. Her inexperienced mind could not wrap itself around this... Xiaodai, I shouldve noticed that you were a girl long ago... Shao Yibais husky voice was very seductive. His Adams apple bobbed. One could tell that he was holding himself back and trying his hardest to be rational. His voice was tinged with regret when he stroked her lips with hisrge coarse hands. He had failed to notice this despite spending several months with her. He was such an idiot! Her skin was incredibly smooth and fair, and she did not have Adams apple. She had never taken a bath with them either. How could she have been a man? However, Shao Yibai never had any feelings for her in the past because he had treated her like a little brat. He had simply taken care of her as if she was his little brother. That was how he had overlooked all these clues. When did he start having feelings for her? He could not remember. Big Brother Shao... Did we kiss? Su Qingcheng had trouble believing the fact that they had just kissed. Yes. The man answered dryly. He lowered his head and ced a gentle kiss on her lips again. Rx, you cant get pregnant just by kissing. Pregnant be damned! Su Qingcheng cursed when he heard the man said what he did. Did he think that she was an idiot? She was obviously aware ofmon physiological knowledge like this. Big Brother Shao, what Im trying to say is... I like you too! Shao Yibai instantly replied without waiting for her to ask the question. I like you very much. The rivers, mountains, and the stars in the sky are my witnesses! Su Qingcheng scanned her surroundings. She saw only rivers and mountains and could not see any stars. Did this mean that his promise was meaningless? There arent any stars... Su Qingcheng murmured as her glistening eyes twinkled. Ill make this promise again when theye out at night. It was rare for Shao Yibai tofort young women like this. He smiled as the woman blushed again while she remained underneath him. Big Brother Shao, are you going to marry me? Su Qingcheng wondered if they would be forced to get married because he had already kissed her. If that was the case, it meant that they would be pledged to each other in the future. She was too naive. She assumed that two people had to go down this path when they were in love. If Shao Yibai did not marry her, did that mean that he was just fooling around when he kissed her? Yes, I am! Shao Yibai did not hesitate at all. He did not care that he was the sessor of the Shao Family in Capital City. Shao Yibai merely felt that he was back in junior high when he fell n love for the first time. His heart raced when he stood before this adorable girl named Su Qingcheng. It felt as though his sensory organs were releasing endorphins throughout his heart and mind. More than two decades had passed, but he had never felt like this before. Perhaps it was because the environment he was brought up with that was filled with tough guys. He hardly experienced the gentle nature of kindhearted women. Su Qingcheng had stolen his heartpletely during the several months that they stayed together. He was annoyed because he thought that she was a man. Why would he still need to hesitate now? Big Brother Shao, theres something else I need to tell you... Su Qingchengs heart thumped wildly while she blushed. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and spoke. Tell me. Shao Yibai did not mind that Su Qingcheng had lied about her gender. She could tell him anything now. Im not an orphan. Actually, my father sold me off when I was little... Su Qingchengs doe-like eyes were filled with tears. So? Ie from a messed up family... Im afraid that I dont deserve you! When Su Qingcheng said this, she realized that it was not as strange as the fact that she had kissed him back just now. Why would that matter? Its fine because Ie from an excellent family! Shao Yibais opinion differed from hers. Who told you that people can only get married when they have the same social status? Id only marry a woman that I truly loved. Su Qingchengs eyes widened, and she was a little confused. She asked calmly, Well, have you ever loved someone in the past? Shao Yibai froze and rubbed the tip of his nose. Yes, I did. Su Qingcheng was slightly disappointed. Her voice quivered as she asked, Why didnt you marry her? We were still in preschool that time. Chapter 365 - Don’t Worry, I’ll Always Be Faithful to My Wife

Chapter 365: Dont Worry, Ill Always Be Faithful to My Wife

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibais feelings for her hadsted for a long time! Preschool? Su Qingcheng was amused by Shao Yibais earnestness. Were you already having indecent thoughts at such a young age? Su Qingcheng shoved Shao Yibai away to get up, but she had brushed one of the ces his bones had fractured. The man was in so much pain that he grimaced. Su Qingcheng reached out and supported Shao Yibai right away andid him gently down on the ground. She asked in a worried tone, How are you? Does it hurt a lot? It wont hurt if you kiss me. Shao Yibai could not stop himself from saying indecent things. He had never yed by the rules. He was aid-back person who did as he pleased. Now that he feltfortable, he had let himselfpletely free of any restraint. Su Qingcheng was both annoyed and embarrassed at his character. She turned away and muttered, I dont care if you die from the pain. Youve forgotten your limits! She never expected that this man could change his mannerisms so quickly. He had kicked and stomped on her during their usual training sessions without showing the slightest bit of mercy. He behaved ruthlessly and as if he was not capable of feeling any sympathy. He was kinder once their training was over and would carry her to the cafeteria for a meal. He could be said as gentle and warm at times like this. Had he already fallen in love with her then? Su Qingcheng was stunned. Damn, she was still a man then... Shao Yibai openly confessed that falling in love with her was not something that happened overnight! You have such interesting tastes when ites to romance! Su Qingcheng ruffled her messy short hair with her hands, and an impatient look appeared on her delicate face. Youre such a dangerous person. I cant believe that you fell in love with a man. Should I be worried that youll get into all sorts of trouble in the future? Dont worry, Ill always be faithful to my wife! Shao Yibai could tell exactly what Su Qingcheng was worried about. His voice was incredibly hopeful when he said, If you marry me, Ill love you so dearly as if youre the most precious thing to me! Oh, he sounded so sweet and romantic when he said these things! Su Qingcheng had never dated before. She had just turned twenty years old right after the recent Spring Festival. It was truly difficult for her to resist Shao Yibais advances. She did not know what else this man would say if they spent any more time together. Su Qingcheng mbered up and tried to use the radio inte to call theirrades again. She finally received a response this time. Although the connection was not stable, someone had already discovered that Su Qingcheng was missing. They had been using the radio inte to contact her since them. Shao Yibai would be rescued too as long as they found her. Perhaps these sloping fields were too well hidden. They had finally managed to contact someone after Shao Yibai had sworn by the great rivers and mountains and under the starry sky. Shao Yibai and Su Qingchenghad been trapped for four whole days before they were saved. Shao Yibais vital signs were still fine, but he was very weak. He was too afraid to consume most of the things around the pit of the slope since he was worried that it would affect their internal organs. The helicopter that came to rescue him and Su Qingcheng sent them to Kun Ming at once. He stayed there for recuperation for more than half a month before he was sent back to Capital City. * Capital City... Shao Yibai went to great lengths to hide this incident from the Shao Family. The military camp in Yan Zhou went to look for him first because they were too afraid to report this to his family. Shao Yibai did not inform Shu Jiaozhen about the days that he spent in Kun Ming either. He was worried that she would rush to Kun Ming right away and ruined the romantic atmosphere between him and Su Qingcheng. Her son was already an adult, but she refused to leave him alone. Shao Yibai made the arrangements to send Su Qingcheng to the police academy once he returned to Capital City. That ce would have been more suitable for Su Qingcheng than staying in the army. The woman was considerably pleased. She had settled down in a new ce, and her rtionship with Shao Yibai was progressing well. In the future, Shao Yibai would always reminisce about the sweet moments that the two of them had spent together as a couple. It was normal for people to be overwhelmed by their own emotions when they were in love. Shao Yibais fellow soldiers who were also his subordinates had noticed the changes in his behavior. They made their own assumptions to justify these changes. Some of them assumed that he had fallen and hurt his head during his previous expedition while others thought that it was caused by the air when he returned to Capital City. Meanwhile, some of them guessed that the Shao unit would be expecting good news soon... Those people had guessed correctly. Commander Shao had good news to share. He had taken the only girl in their unit under his wing now. However, Shao Yibai remembered how these men had taken advantage of Su Qingcheng while they were training in Yan Zhou. Although she was still a man at that time, that did not hide the fact that she was youthful and attractive. He felt ufortable when he recalled how they had pinched her face and squeezed her buttocks. The man decided to abuse his power to avenge her. He started to subject the soldiers to various kinds of insane training. An endless stream ofints could be heard everyone one went. Hmph! He wanted to see if they would still dare toy their hands on his woman. * Su Qingcheng finally found a ce where she felt like she belonged in when she enrolled in the police academy. She grew her hair out and wore clothes that girls usually preferred. She looked gentler and sweeter now. Shao Yibai would go and visit her during the holidays. Although they had not made any significant progress as a couple, Shao Yibais heart had started bing restless. He was truly worried that someone else would steal this beautiful woman from him if he failed to win her over first. Unfortunately, he could not do much as Su Qingcheng was somewhat conservative. She would not allow him to take the next step aside from kissing. The man constantly felt as though his body was aze with passion. He was really suffering... Shao Yibai had yet to bring Su Qingcheng back to the Shao Family for now. He originally nned to wait until their rtionship had became more stable before doing so, but he never expected that Jiao Shuzhen would be anxious before his matters were settled over here. ... Ah Bai, since you dont have anything to do today, why dont youe with me to my friends charity banquet? You should pick one or two items from our house and bring them along because theyre having an auction event. Jiao Shuzhen observed her sons expression when she said this. Shao Yibai wanted to decline her offer, but he maintained hisposure and simply looked at his mother who appeared youthful despite her age. Jiao Shuzhen looked as though she was only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. Her love for Shao Yibai went just a little bit overboard because he was her only son. Fortunately, Shao Yibai managed to grow up healthily and experienced a well-rounded upbringing thanks to Old Master Shaos strict teachings. Why do I need to go? Shao Yibai sounded slightly vignt. His unit was stationed at the outskirts of Capital City, so he rarely went home, but Jiao Shuzhen always had an immovable objective every time he came back. Matchmaking... Shao Yibai had been forced to attend a few of these events in the past. Now that he was older and possessed a unique status, his mother could not control him anymore. Every time she mentioned these matchmaking sessions, he simply said that he would not attend them. It was impossible for him to attend these events now that he only had eyes for Su Qingcheng. Shao Yibai was worried that Jiao Shuzhen had disguised the matchmaking session as another event to trick him into attending it because he refused to go along with her ns. Are you still going to argue with me when Im just asking you to go out and have fun? Jiao Shuzhen was unhappy. You cant just spend all your time training with the special forces troops. Sooner orter, youll have to socialize with the people from your fathers original circles. Your military rank... Lady Jiao, if youre so good at socializing, I should just give you my rank as Major General! There was a sinister smile on Shao Yibais face. Jiao Shuzhen was so angry that she red daggers at him. She was not going to bicker with her son though since she had actually made arrangements for him at the charity event today. Anyway, you should juste with me because Ive already told Chief Wei that youll be there. You should attend this event to support him! Shao Yibai noticed that Jiao Shuzhen had resorted to using her husbands old chief to get her way. He had no choice but to attend the event now out of respect. ... The charity event would be held in the reception hall of Chief Weis home in the militarypound. The old chief belonged to the same batch as Shao Jingshan, but he had retired many years ago. He now stayed at home now, and all his children had their own arrangements already except for his youngest daughter, Wei Hongmian. She was the only one who had yet to get married. She was a gorgeous woman who had graduated from a well-known university in America several years ago. It was natural for someone with her upbringing and background to be prouder than normal people. Numerous sons from illustrious families tried to win her affections, but she refused to see them. Thus, everyone in the social circles in Capital City called her a cold beauty. Unfortunately, Wei Hongmian became more and more anxious when she realized that she was not getting any younger. Her mother began looking for suitable candidates for her within their social circles. Shao Yibai was the first person on the list. She thought he was the most suitable man for her... Chapter 366 - Don’t Ruin My Plans, You Little Brat

Chapter 366: Dont Ruin My ns, You Little Brat

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Wei Familys reception hall included both eastern and western elements. The hall was decorated in a minimalistic manner, but it still looked grand and magnificent. When he was younger, Shao Yibai had visited this ce with his father once or twice. He was not concerned about influential officials at that time since he was still a boy. He simply felt that the Wei Familys home was rather impressive. There were several man-made ponds in the courtyard. As he was a naughty boy at that time, he had followed the Wei Familys eldest son to the pond to catch fish. Although Wei Hongmian and Shao Yibai were around the same age, perhaps the reason why they had rarely yed with each other when they were young was that Wei Hongmian was busy honing her talents back then? Wei Hongmian had received numerous academic awards and won manypetitions and events ever since she was young. She did extremely well all the way through high school until she received her masters degree in university. She was even awarded several degrees while she studied overseas. As she progressed through life, her path naturally diverged with the wild brats like Shao Yibai and the others. Chief Wei was quite fond of his daughter since she was so outstanding. He appeared to be particrly meticulous about her marriage when she had gotten old enough. Shao Yibai was the only child in the Shao Family. The parents of both families had a good rtionship with one another, and they understood each others situation at home. Chief Weis admiration for an iron-willed young man like Shao Yibai had only increased all this while. Frankly, Shao Yibai had been targeted as the partner of Wei Hongmians marriage long ago. It was just that Shao Yibai had been serving in the special forces unit all along. These armed services were perhaps the most dangerous profession during this peaceful era. Wei Hongmians mother was actually hesitant about the decision in the beginning. Nheless, it was understandable that she would worry if her daughter were to marry someone like that. She had tried to mediate the situation several days ago, but she could not do anything about it in the end since the Old Master liked Shao Yibai so much. Wei Hongmian had yet to find a suitable candidate all this while ever since she returned home from abroad. Her mothers objection had turned into support very soon. As Shao Yibai had suspected, this auction event was really a matchmaking session in disguise. ... Shao Yibai brought a pair of ceramic zed porcin bowls with lotus petal engravings on them for todays charity event. There were specialized workers who were checking in the articles that were brought in by various families. Shao Yibai had hidden himself right away once he had surrendered his items. He was terribly worried that Lady Jiao would discover him and introduce him to all of the female socialites here... Jiao Shuzhen had been speaking to Wei Hongmians mother, Yang Fan, for some time now. The topic of their conversation naturally shifted to Shao Yibai at one point. Is Yibai still very young? Yang Fan was aware that Wei Hongmian was actually three or four years older than Shao Yibai. Her only worry was that the other party would dislike her daughter. She decided to seek out Jiao Shuzhens views first. Age isnt a big deal. Its more important for our children to be able to look after each other. The only thing that matters is that theyll like each other and get along harmoniously. Jiao Shuzhen said these things openly because she already knew the task that Chief Wei had arranged. Yang Fan was secretly delighted when she heard this. She pulled Jiao Shuzhen over in a friendly manner and said, You know about my familys situation as well. Hongmian is my only daughter, and the old chief has been fond of Yibai for a long time. Why dont we let the two children meet since theyre already here today? Yes, Im also aware that Hongmian was studying overseas for the past few years. I know that shes back home today, but Im afraid that both of them have forgotten what each other looked like when they were younger. Jiao Shuzhen had been aware of the inside information long ago when said this. She was currently scanning the venue in search of Shao Yibai. She could not help but get angry when she noticed that her son was hiding in the corner. Events like these were good opportunities for the aristocrats to bond with each other. The prestigious individuals in Capital City were the only ones who were invited today. Aside from Shao Yibai, the other young men of the aristocratic families would enthusiastically attend these events in hopes of increasing their power and social status through marriage. Why was he hiding? Yang Fan could tell that Jiao Shuzhens temper was about to re up. Smiling, she pulled Jiao Shuzhen aside and murmured, I think that we should just ask Hongmian to go over and look for him. Jiao Shuzhen blushed. This meant that the girls family was taking the initiative. She was obviously d to hear that. She replied, Alright, Hongmian is certainly more thoughtful than that little brat! Shao Yibai had been determinedly making himself as insignificant as possible at this event. However, he could not do anything about the manly aura that radiated off his body that he had obtained after several years of living in the army. His natural good looks made him stand out from the crowd as well. The aristocratic way with which he carried himself caused him to instantly stir up peoples interest in the crowd. Is that Senior Colonel Shao? A random woman burst out loud out of excitement. Senior colonel? He was promoted to Major General long ago! Ive heard that hes serving in the special forces unit. Ive hardly seen him attending these events. Its so rare that hes here today... The noisydies began their discussion of the day and had long since abandoned their reserved demeanor as socialites. They stared openly at him, not bothering to hide their imploring gaze at all. Wei Hongmian saw Shao Yibai from the balcony of her house before she entered the hall. Wei Hongmian had a twin brother named Wei Hongsheng. She watched her brother y with Shao Yibai when they were little, but she had never joined them. Several years had passed since shest saw Shao Yibai. The mischievous little boy of the past had matured into a handsome man now. He was well-known for his illustrious military feats as well. Wei Hongmians heart stirred at the sight of him carrying himself so dominantly... She recalled the numerous Greek myths and stories that she had previously read. The beautiful women in those stories always wanted to marry the hero. Her father and older brothers also had military backgrounds, but none of them had touched Wei Hongmian the same way as Shao Yibai did. Shao Yibai gave off a courageous aura that had revived Wei Hongmians pent up desire for a hero of her own... Hongmian! Yang Fan walked over and tugged at her daughters gown when she noticed that she was still staring nkly on the balcony. She murmured, Go downstairs and meet Mr. Shao. Wei Hongmian had received a Western-style education since young. She was not shy at all due to her innate confidence and her open-minded personality. Alright, mother. As Wei Hongmian spoke, she took elegant steps and walked downstairs. On the other side, Jiao Shuzhen turned to Shao Yibai and said, In a short while, dont ruin my ns, you little brat... Lady Jiao, didnt you say that Uncle Wei wanted to see me? Why is his daughter meeting me instead? Shao Yibai did not pay attention to her. He clicked his tongue to indicate that he was against this. Before Jiao Shuzhen could rebuke her son, Wei Hongmian had already walked over from the other side. She wore an off-shoulder crimson gown that exposed her pale neck. She looked as beautiful as a swan. Other people would look too mboyant in red, but Wei Hongmians serene temperament contrasted the color and made her look very elegant. Shao Yibai met up with Wei Hongsheng frequently. He knew that he had a younger twin sister who was a schr and had spent most of her time abroad. Nheless, Shao Yibai was still a little shocked when he saw Wei Hongmian today. She still looked the same as she did before. Yibai, long time no see. Thank you for attending my charity auction event! Wei Hongmians voice was soft, generous, and genuine. She waspletely different from all the rumors calling her a cold beauty. Only now did Shao Yibai realize that Wei Hongmian was the organizer of todays charity event. Without exception, the host of events like these would have to make the biggest of contributions. He guessed that the Wei Family must have invested a lot into this event so that their daughter could enter thedies socialite circle. Shao Yibai smiled. Miss Wei, youre an extremely talented beauty whos also very kind. Im merely here to disy what meager abilities I have. I could never rival a schrly big sister like you. Wei Hongmian knew that she was slightly older than Shao Yibai. When it came to this meeting, she was most reluctant to mention her age. The womans expression changed slightly. However, she regained herposure quickly. She gave a small smile and said, Im not a schr. Im just a person who had spent all my time studying. If were talking about contributions to society, youve definitely given more significant contributions than me, Yibai. We would be nothing without people like you who protect our country. Shao Yibai had heard of Wei Hongmian to a certain extent. He knew that this young woman had always been arrogant because of the education she had received. He never imagined that she would belittle herself like this. What was she trying to do? Chapter 367 - Shao Yibai Was Dumbfounded. What Did He like About Su Qingcheng?

Chapter 367: Shao Yibai Was Dumbfounded. What Did He like About Su Qingcheng?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wei Hongmian carried herself in an elegant manner. She was a dignified and beautiful woman. As this was her home, she had the upper hand here. Evidently, she stood out from the crowd. Previously, she was a well-known but cold beauty in the socialite circle. The other socialites noticed that she had humbled herself as she came over to speak with Shao Yibai. The man was perpetually courteous toward her. When the crowd saw that he never rejected her advances, they instantly felt hopeless. Those two families would surely be joined soon! Shao Yibais smile was bewitching. His excellent upbringing allowed him to remain polite and poised before Wei Hongmian. However, Wei Hongmian could sense that Shao Yibai was keeping a distance between them. The Wei Familys wealth was impressive, but that was not the only thing that everyone envied. Wei Hongmian was also a charming individual in the Capital Citys social circles. She was used to men who were madly infatuated with her as the young men of the aristocratic families were always pursuing her. When she saw Shao Yibai, she felt that she was wasting her talents on a person who could not appreciate them. Yibai, a banquet will be held tonight a little while after the event ends. Why dont you stay and attend the banquet with meter? Coincidentally, my father said that he wanted to talk to you because he hasnt seen you in a long time. As Shao Yibais attitude was remarkably indifferent and modest, Wei Hongmian had no choice but to take the initiative to get what she wanted. She could not figure out what had happened. She had only seen him for several minutes, but her heart was suddenly filled with restlessness despite having been undisturbed for a long time. She abandoned her self-restraint and shyness. She used her fathers reputation because she wanted Shao Yibai to be closer to her. An alluring smile appeared on Shao Yibais face. He shot a nce at Lady Jiao and Yang Fan who were nearby. When he remembered that those two women were always on the lookout for power, he realized that he had fallen into their trap today. It would be fine if they were just going to have dinner. Was the Wei Family going to chew him out if things did not work out as nned? Alright, thank you for giving me this special treatment. Its true that I havent seen Uncle Wei in a long time. I was thinking of speaking to him too. Wei Hongmian openly sighed in relief. Her smile was still apparent when she spoke to Shao Yibai about her daily life. Shao Yibai had studied in a military school and grew up in a military camp. Due to his circumstances, he was not used to striking up conversations with beautiful women. However, an intelligent person like Wei Hongmian was unlike the average woman. A sociable woman like her could always find topics to ovee awkward situations. They spoke about the military because she was very knowledgeable about the subject. Although she had never enlisted in the army, she was well-versed in historical military affairs. She had a melodious voice that was both gentle and resounding. Burning passion seeped through her gentle gaze when she spoke to Shao Yibai. The man had a whole new level of respect for her. There were numerous beautiful women and nock of intelligent ones. However, it was truly rare to find one who was both gorgeous and wise. Most women discussed military affairs the same way they viewed ser matches. In most situations, they ignored the skills and battle tactics as they were only concerned with looking at the handsome men... Wei Hongmian was different because she had numerous unique opinions on military affairs. Perhaps she could not escape from her familys influence. There was no doubt that the people who chatted with her would feel extremely delighted. ... Time passed in the blink of an eye. After they chatted for some time, the people from the auction house came over to briefly appraise the items. They announced the items that they had received while informing them of their estimated prices at the same time. Wei Hongmian went to greet the people who were in charge as she was one of the organizers. The auction event would be held three dayster. The Wei Family brought 28 valuable items to be auctioned off for charity this time. Aside from antique jade articles and other simr items, there were also several prized literary works, paintings, and some precious objects that the old chiefs ancestors had left behind. They were previously used to reward illustrious families for their military achievements. The staff sorted the items while they briefly presented them to guests and informed them of their evaluations. The guests who attended tonights banquet would contribute one or two valuable items. Obviously, as they were the organizers, the Wei Family would contribute the most items. Once these items were sold at the auction, the money that they earned would be donated to charity. This was not a new idea. There were many other individuals in their group who needed to do such things to gain the prestige necessary to join the high-ssdies socialite circle. Nheless, she had earnestly brought out 28 valuable items for this auction. There were a few treasures among them as well. These superior objects had been scattered overseas, and she had obtained them from her foreign friends while she was studying abroad. She had spent a lot of money to purchase these items in the past, but she was donating all of them now. Everyone truly admired Wei Hongmians patriotic sentiments. Shao Yibai observed the exhibits in the disy counter. There was an antique pistol that he really liked. That item was used as an exhibit because it was a discarded weapon that could no longer be used. However, he could tell with a single look that the guns previous owner had loved it dearly. The pistols grip was so worn down that it was clearly shining. It gave off a dull light. Shao Yibai could not resist things like this. Once Wei Hongmian had finished speaking to the workers at the auction, she came over and stood beside Shao Yibai. She followed his gaze and noticed that he was staring nkly at an antique gun. Instantly, she understood his thoughts. A little whileter, the bodyguards in her house received an order toe over with a jewelry box. Wei Hongmian took it from them before she turned to the auction staff and quietly said, Im sorry, I identally brought the wrong item when we were preparing the inventory earlier. Please exchange this jade bracelet for that pistol. The Wei Family was the host of this event. Moreover, while the pistol was a valuable antique, its market value was clearly lower than the jade bracelets. The staff evaluated the items again and recorded everything before he passed the pistol to Wei Hongmian. When the banquet began, Wei Hongsheng took his bodyguards and servants to greet the guests who had arrived. Meanwhile, Wei Hongmian and her mother took Jiao Shuzhen and Shao Yibai to the back hall. The Wei Familys home was decorated in a simple but stylish manner. Their furniture and decorations were mainly crafted from mahogany. The charm of the past still lingered here. They reached the back hall once they had passed through the central room. Wei Hongmian was the most important individual of todays event. Chief Wei had yet to personally appear as he believed that his daughter was capable enough. Instead, he rested in the back hall. Chief Wei had his first child when he was much younger. Later, he was injured during training while attempting to save someone else. Due to his disability, the government gave him special treatment. He was much older when he once again was blessed with children. Wei Hongmian and her brother were a pair of twins that were born to him when he was almost 40 years old. Naturally, he loved them even more. Old Master Wei had retired, but his body was almost the same as when he was still actively serving in the military. He was lively and cheerful while his voice was sonorous. The Old Master was extremely pleased when he saw Shao Yibai. His whole family was seated here. When the Old Master heard that Shao Yibai had encountered danger when he ambushed a group of drug dealers in Yun Nan, the old man could not help but praise the young man. Its the duty of brave men like you to protect your country. Youll be a good husband once our families are joined in the future. I dont have to worry about handing Hongmian over to you. Shao Yibai, ... When had he agreed to be with Hongmian? Shao Yibais expression changed faintly. His gaze shifted toward Jiao Shuzhen, but the woman quickly shot him a nce that instructed him to keep quiet. To the side, Wei Hongmians cheeks instantly reddened. Having spent so much time in the military camp, her father was an unceasingly blunt person. Yang Fan hurriedly changed the subject when she heard that her husband had said these things without holding back. We should let the children decide on their own matters. You shouldnt pressure them! When he was younger, Chief Wei risked his life for his impressive military achievements. Once he had obtained a high position, he became used to giving orders. His heart grew upset when he noticed that his wife held a different opinion from him now. Strong men of character should always avoid beating around the bush. We should be direct when we have something to say. These are my children. Why should I refrain from voicing my opinions? Im not holding a meeting with my political party. The old chief nced at Shao Yibai. Suddenly, he asked, Yibai, Im going to ask you something. What do you think of Hongmian? Shao Yibai, ... He wondered how he had stumbled into this dangerous situation... Uncle, Big Sister Hongmian is an outstanding individual. Ever since I was little, my mother has always referred to her as an example of an excellent person. Shao Yibai shot a nce at Jiao Shuzhen when he said this. Jiao Shuzhen had no idea what her son was going to say after this, but she was too afraid to interrupt when the old chief was here. In the past, their families had been extremely close, but this little brat was about to cause trouble and ruin everything. She used her gaze to give her son a warning. On the sidelines, Wei Hongmian was already feeling embarrassed and awkward. She turned to her father and whispered, Father, you said that we were just going to have a simple meal. Why are you saying these things... The old chief smiled and brieflyforted his daughter. Its normal for me to be worried about you because youre my only daughter. Neither of my two sons couldpare to you. As he said this, he turned back and patted Shao Yibais shoulder. Yibai, let me ask you something else. Since you think that Hongmian is a decent person, what would you think if I gave her to you in the future? Huh? Was he really trying to force this? Shao Yibai kept mum for some time. His handsome face showed no signs of emotions while his gaze was quiet but dark. The man raised his wine ss and gently said, Uncle Wei, Ill raise this ss to show my respect toward you. Upon saying this, Shao Yibai finished his drink first to show his respect. Once he had drunk everything, he lifted his wine ss with both hands toward Chief Wei. The Old Master drained his ss in one gulp as well. Shao Yibai could tell that the old chief was still in a good mood. He was worried that there would be more trouble in the future if he did not exin everything clearly. The old chief was right. Honorable men should never beat around the bush. Uncle Wei, Hongmian is a wonderful girl, but I cant ept your offer! Shao Yibai nced at Wei Hongmian when he finished speaking. The womans face had instantly turned pale and she seemed to be in low spirits. Jiao Shuzhen was next to them. Her heart was filled with uneasiness when she heard this. She had warned the little brat beforehand, but he stubbornly refused to obey her. Jiao Shuzhen was about to speak before the old chiefs expression unexpectedly darkened. He waved hisrge hand and signalled her to remain seated. Yibai, please go on. The old chief still seemed kind. He did not get angry simply because Shao Yibai told him the truth. Im already in love with another woman! Shao Yibai took a deep breath before he smiled. He quietly said, I vowed to marry her during our risky expedition in Yun Nan. I told her that I loved her. I even stood under the starry sky and swore to the mountains and rivers that Id be faithful to her to the end! When Jiao Shuzhen heard this, she was so angry that she nearly rolled her eyes. That foolish boy... Wei Hongmians fingers trembled faintly when she ced them on her skirt. Her eyes were red, but she gently smiled and said, Yibai, I bet that shes very talented... The smile on the corners of Shao Yibais lips grew more apparent when he looked at Wei Hongmian. Shes terrible at housework and shes a hopeless orphan who doesnt have a family. She has been suffering in the mountains ever since she was little because she never received any education. Shes rather stupid. She was kidnapped and sold by human traffickers twice because shes too trusting! When he thought of that woman, he realized that she did not mean it when she insisted that she would not trust anyone ever again. Whenever someone in the army was nice to her, she would help them fold their nkets, wash their socks, buy food, and run errands for them. Shao Yibai nearlyughed when he recalled how she was always enthusiastic. She was really stupid! Well... She must be very beautiful... Wei Hongmian felt like she was going to suffocate. The woman that Shao Yibai described could not rival her in any sense. Why did he like her? What was so great about her? Shes very ugly. When she first entered the military camp, we couldnt tell that she was actually a woman dressed as a man! Shao Yibaiughed mischievously. Su Qingcheng loudly sneezed several times in the nearby police academy. Who is talking about me behind my back? The woman rubbed her nose while her pitch-ck eyes watered. She realized that Shao Yibai had not visited her in a long time. She really missed him... Chief Wei remained silent throughout. When he noticed that the rims of his daughters eyes had turned redder, he knew that the proud girl had already developed feelings for this man. The old chief sighed. What do you like about this girl? Shao Yibai was dumbfounded. What did he like about Su Qingcheng? Who knew? She would frequently jump on his back and act like a spoiled, shameless child without feeling embarrassed at all. Snot would drip down her nose when she cried and called him a devil during their training sessions. However, he never found her annoying for that. She would get so exhausted that her legs quivered and felt numb while her back hurt. Nheless, she was still adorable when she insisted on helping him with the chores when they returned to the military camp. She looked dazed but endearing when theyid on the sloping fields and she said, There arent any stars. She unintentionally made him repeat his promise because she was worried that it would note true. She was truly silly but cute... Her outlook on life and her inherent qualities were extremely naive, but she did not know how stupid she appeared. Sometimes, she was terribly pleased with herself when she yed clever tricks... Uncle Wei, I love her, and I believe that were destined to be together. I know that she has no redeeming qualities, but what will happen to her in the future if I dont marry her? Ive already promised that I would take care of her for her entire life! Shao Yibai spoke earnestly. He turned to Wei Hongmian and quietly said, Hongmian is different. Shes extremely talented and highly educated. Moreover, shees from a good family and shes gorgeous. It seems like she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Even if she doesnt end up with me, shell still be the most sought after individual in all the social circles of the Capital City. Chief Wei sighed when he heard this. In a deep voice, he said, A gentleman and a man of character must never take his promises lightly. Young man, I liked you and I thought that it would be wonderful if we could be inws. Unfortunately, fate had other ns for us. Hongmian, Yibai is right. Life has many other choices in store for you. You shouldnt fight about this. You should just continue treating each other like siblings in the future. Wei Hongmian looked terribly pale. She had always vied for first ce ever since she was young. Regardless of the circumstances, she would never settle for second best. She had never failed to get what she wanted. This was a significant event in her life. It was the first time that she had fallen in love with a man at first sight. Unfortunately, the other party told her that he was in love with another woman. One who was her exact opposite. In spite of that, he still liked that woman... This was ridiculous! Wei Hongmian took a deep breath and steadied her nerves. Smiling, she said, Dont worry, father. I know what to do. To the side, Yang Fan had grown incredibly upset much earlier. However, she kept mum to avoid hurting other peoples feelings. When she noticed her daughters stance on the matter, she knew deep in her heart that the girl would not just let this matter go. Perhaps initially, she was only slightly interested in Shao Yibai, but she was certainly determined to win him over now. A family feud had urred! Dinner turned into an unhappy event. After the meal, Jiao Shuzhen lowered her head defeatedly. She was about to leave with her son, but Wei Hongmian unexpectedly appeared and caught up to them. Aunty, you can leave first. I have something to say to Yibai. Wei Hongmian dismissed Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen thought to herself, If my son lets such a perfect girl go just so he can marry a second-rate harlot, Im going to break his legs! Shao Yibai noticed the threatening look in his mothers eyes. He smiled but remained silent. When Jiao Shuzhen left, Wei Hongmian nced at Shao Yibai. The mans handsome face was faintly tinged with a sinister aura. However, this was incredibly dazzling to her. Wei Hongmian took the antique gun out of her bag and gave it to Shao Yibai. The womans voice was clear and there was a faint smile on her face. Yibai, this is for you. Shao Yibai was stunned, but he did not hide his delight. He epted the gift without holding himself back. Thank you. Chapter 368 - He Was Not Used to Her Distinct Curves

Chapter 368: He Was Not Used to Her Distinct Curves

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wei Hongmian took the antique gun out of her bag and gave it to Shao Yibai. The womans voice was clear and there was a faint smile on her face. Yibai, this is for you. Shao Yibai was stunned, but he did not hide his delight. He epted the gift without holding himself back. Thank you. Yibai, my grandfather previously seized this gun when he won over the state with his faction. Ive heard that it was owned by the enemy troops high-ranking leader. Its an authentic product that was made in America. My grandfather liked it very much at that time. Of course, no one produces the bullets that are used with it anymore. This guns only function is as a keepsake now. It can never rival the impressive weapons that you are currently using. As she spoke, Wei Hongmians gaze fell on the pistol that had been polished until it glittered. Initially, she nned to donate it to a museum if it was not sold during the auction. She never expected that Shao Yibai would like it so much. Let me know if you see anything you like in the future. Ill give it to you to return the favor! said Shao Yibai as he stroked the gun. He could not hide his joy. Its really a wonderful item. The person who used this gun in the past must have felt really powerful. The man was beaming. He held the gun and gestured as though he was carefully aiming it at a star. Men like guns the same way women like jewelry or bags. We can never get tired of them no matter how many we have. This gun might not work, but its still meaningful. I like it very much. Thank you, Hongmian... I mean, Big Sister Hongmian! Wei Hongmian had a ratherplicated expression on her face. She took a deep breath before an affectionate look shed through her gaze. This bighearted man was brave enough to express his true feelings. Although she disliked it when he called her big sister, she continued to grow fond of the man... You dont have to be so polite. Were family after all... Wei Hongmian felt a lump in her throat when she said this. She had met numerous outstanding men while she was studying abroad for many years, but there were none like Shao Yibai. He was a resolute and iron-willed man who was rumored to be a violent and powerful force on the battlefield. However, he was also highly in touch with his emotions. In other words, he was well-rounded. Yang Fan was impressed that Jiao Shuzhen had such a caring son who always referred to his mother as Lady Jiao. Inparison to Wei Hongsheng, Shao Yibai was a considerate and protective son. He was bursting with potential as a partner. Although he never praised that girl when he spoke of her, there were traces of affection and love in his tone. He resembled the god of war when he held his gun, but he was a poet when he removed his military uniform. The apparent aristocratic aura that shrouded his body was faintly tinged with a sinister air. Wei Hongmians eyes were filled with admiration. She desperately yearned for a rtionship with this younger man. She was an experienced woman who wanted to savor young flesh... Meanwhile, Shao Yibai only had eyes for the person he liked. He was longing to see the young woman, Su Qingcheng. He was an older man who wanted to ravish her youthful body... Im leaving, Big Sister Hongmian. Thank you for your hospitality and thank you for the gift. There was a gleeful expression on Shao Yibais face, and he spoke in a rxed tone. He waved his hand as he said goodbye to Wei Hongmian. As Wei Hongmian sent him off, the feelings of disappointment and rejection in her heart gradually grew more intense as she watched Shao Yibais figure from behind. She pondered before she made a phone call and contacted her friend. Can you help me look into this person... * Shao Yibai had not visited Su Qingcheng in a long time. Spring had arrived and the flowers were in bloom at the beginning of May. The grounds of the schoolyard werepletely covered in hibiscus flowers that fell from the hibiscus trees that filled thepound. The young woman was incredibly happy when she noticed that Shao Yibai was here. The couple bought some food before they sat on thewn and basked in the sun. The sun was not scorchingly hot, it was simply bright and dazzling. A ser match was enthusiastically going on in the nearby ser field. The ce where they sat had several trees that provided them with shade. The sunlight shined on Su Qingchengs charming little face in motley patches as it passed through the gaps between the leaves. She was extremely adorable when she narrowed her eyes and looked at Shao Yibai... Ive wanted toe here for a long time to fulfill a wish... Su Qingcheng scanned her surroundings. There was a faintly pleased expression on her face. What made you want to do that? Shao Yibai could not understand. What was so fun about sitting on thewn? Ive seen many couples dating here... Su Qingcheng murmured. Shao Yibai realized that almost a year had passed since Su Qingcheng started studying. However, this was the first time that he sat with her in the schoolyard. The young woman was only 20 years old. She was truly at the age where she longed for romance. At that age, she was supposed to do lovey-dovey things and be inseparable from the person she was dating. Unfortunately, Shao Yibai did not spend enough time with her. Su Qingchengs little face faintly blushed once she had finished speaking. When she noticed that Shao Yibai was staring at her, she frantically exined, I wasntining that you hardlye to see me. I know that the army is strict. Moreover, you cant juste and see me as you please because of your rank in the military... Her flustered appearance touched the softest part of Shao Yibais heart. She was such a good girl. She was so pure that he loved her dearly! He truly wondered how her parents could sell off such an obedient child in the beginning. When he saw her actions at that time, he gave himself a mission to protect her for the rest of his life. As Shao Yibai pondered, he suddenly reached his arms out and pulled her into his embrace. The womans body was not as fragile and frail as the first time he met her. After she had undergone all the training, her bones were strong while her muscles were taut and flexible. They did not feel limp when he pinched them now. He was not used to her distinct curves. His head was lowered. As his lips were about to touch the tip of her nose, the mans deep voice sincerely said, This ce is definitely a spot that is frequented by couples on dates. Isnt there something that all couples are supposed to do? They were extremely close to each other. As there were only several millimeters between them, the atmosphere here seemed more alluring now than it would be if they actually kissed. Warm air swirled around the tip of her nose. The mans mouth smelled sweet and minty. It seemed as though his burning gaze was asking for her opinion. However, Su Qingcheng knew that this was merely a trick. He would kiss her whether she agreed to it or not. She realized that it would be better for her to take the initiative instead of being ridiculed by him after she took the bait. What do you think? She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently closed her eyes... Shao Yibais heart thumped wildly when he saw her signal. He stopped wavering and feverishly pressed his lips against hers instead. He forcefully sucked on them and grinded against them. The tip of his tongue entered and left her cavern as they intertwined. He held her head with one hand and wound the other around her waist. This caused her to tremble over and over again... The womans soft pants made him more excited. He began kissing her more fervently. It seemed as though a gentle and nimble little fish had entered his domain. It was lively and naughty... Her body finally felt weary after a long time. She felt as limp as a puddle of mud. Su Qingcheng had no idea whether her brain was still working. She merely felt as though the entire world was spinning. Sunlight continued shining through the gaps between the leaves, but it seemed particrly blinding now. She could not help but bury her head near his corbone. She was reluctant to leave for a long time. Shao Yibai quietly chuckled when he noticed that her little face was unusually red. Xiaodai, are you satisfied with what we did just now? It wasnt too bad. Su Qingcheng closed her eyes and said while she intentionally buried her head in his chest. Shao Yibai knew that she was being coy on purpose. Are you saying that my kissing skills still need more practice? I want to make Xiaodai proud! If you put it that way, Im not against it... Su Qingcheng quietly murmured. Chapter 370 - Xiaodai Is Going to Be My Wife in the Future. Nobody Can Change That

Chapter 370: Xiaodai Is Going to Be My Wife in the Future. Nobody Can Change That

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai could not help butugh when Su Qingcheng mentioned that she wanted to join the police force. He was in the special forces while she was going to be a police officer. Did that mean that both of them would continue catching criminals after they were married? In the future, Im going to strive to be the captain of the criminal police department so that I can specialize in arresting human traffickers... Shao Yibai, ... He never imagined that Su Qingchengs previous circumstances still gued her mind. Xiaodai, whos going to take care of the baby once youre the captain of the criminal police force? The man lowered his voice but asked the question bluntly. Baby? What baby? Su Qingcheng had not thought so far ahead as they had just started dating. Why would she be thinking about a baby? Shao Yibai was slightly disheartened when he saw that there was a faintly surprised look on her cheerful little face. He ruffled her messy hair with hisrge hand and muttered, Have you made the necessary preparations to marry me? If youre nning to marry me, youre going to have my children. Whats so strange about that? Su Qingcheng was stunned. It seemed like there was still a long time before the future that Shao Yibai was talking about would arrive. However, he was enthusiastically looking forward to a wife and children... Nheless, when she put herself in his shoes, she realized that she should be looking forward to this as well. If she loved him, it would be normal for them to have a family together. But I havent met your family yet... mumbled the woman quietly. In Su Qingchengs mind, ones parents had the most authority when it came to matters like these. She had no parents to hinder her decisions, but Shao Yibai was different! Moreover, she understood the Shao Familys background, even more, when she arrived in Capital City. This increased the hesitant feelings in her heart. She was worried that she did not deserve him... Yes, I wanted to discuss this matter with you soon. Ive already told my mother about our rtionship! Su Qingchengs little face immediately turned ashen when she heard Shao Yibai say that. Were they not hiding this anymore? Shao Yibai hurriedly exined when he saw the stunned and uneasy look on Su Qingchengs face. Dont worry, my family is very open-minded. Im sure that my mother will love you! Shao Yibai did not say this with much confidence. When he was at the Wei Familys charity event the day before he came here, Lady Jiao had given him a threatening re... Su Qingchengs panicked expression calmed down. She swallowed her spit while her voice quivered as she said, Will your mother ept me as her daughter-inw when Imcking three things? Lacking three things? Su Qingcheng ruffled her hair and smiled. Ick supporters, a family background, and an education... In the future, Ill be your supporter and my family background will be yours. You simply have to get an education and youll be fine! Shao Yibai smiled as he said this. Warmth filled Su Qingchengs heart. She buried herself against Shao Yibais chest and murmured, Is it time for the beautiful bride to meet her inws? An annoyed look appeared on Shao Yibais face. Youre so full of yourself! ... Shao Yibai promised that he would take Su Qingcheng to meet Jiao Shuzhen after some time. The main issue was that he had yet to properly sort things out with his mother. She was usually an understanding person, but she would often hinder him during important moments. You have to listen to me when ites to important matters like marriage! After several arguments, Jiao Shuzhen basically decided to use her trump card. You can fool around with your little girlfriend, but I forbid you from marrying someone like her and bringing her into the Shao Family! Jiao Shuzhen constantly wanted to make up for this matter as she had humiliated herself in front of Yang Fan. The Shao Family and the Wei Family were on good terms, and Jiao Shuzhen liked Wei Hongmian as well. She had no idea why her son whom she had single-handedly raised did not want a beautiful and highly educated youngdy like Wei Hongmian. Instead, he wanted to marry that silly girl from the mountains... Shao Yibai heart was secretly filled with rage when he heard this, but he still spoke and acted like a gentleman on the surface. The man calmly said, I cant give you the daughter-inw that you want. Xiaodai is going to be my wife in the future. Nobody can change that! Jiao Shuzhen was upset when she realized that Shao Yibai had made up his mind. However, she had maintained an extremely good rtionship with her son throughout many years. She knew how to restrain her rage during critical moments like this. Just as Jiao Shuzhen was about to explode with rage, she suddenly received a phone call from Wei Hongmian. They talked about mundane things first before they finally reached the main topic. Wei Hongmian gently said, Aunty, Im going to see someone. If youre curious, we can go and meet this person together! Chapter 371 - This Little Brat Was Using Her Past to Silence Her

Chapter 371: This Little Brat Was Using Her Past to Silence Her

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion An argument had broken out in Shao Jingshans home, but he did not pick a side. In his heart, he was fine with whatever it was as long as his son was happy. Shao Jingshan decided to remain neutral and did not try to express his opinions on the matters. Unfortunately, this angered Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen was a woman who was used to being pampered by her husband and son. She had never been inconvenienced like this. She felt that her husband and son were disrespecting her. She was so furious that she cried and sobbed. Shao Jingshan had no alternative but to console his wife and reprimand his son for making excessive demands when they tried topromise with him. Silence! Look at how youve upset your mother. Shao Yibai was annoyed, but he did not kick up a big fuss with his parents. Instead, he dead-panned, You married the woman you loved, and I simply want to do the same. Whats wrong with that? Shao Jingshan was speechless. Shao Yibai turned to his mother and continued, I remembered that grandmother was against your marriage in the beginning because father was initially pursuing Yuan Xuans mother! Jiao Shuzhen and Shao Jingshan were so stunned they could not think of a reply. After that, eldest aunt introduced you to father. However, grandmother was worried this romantic affair would result in a fight between you and your sister. Nheless, you decided to marry father without your parents approval because you loved him. Grandmother was forced to give in when you got pregnant with me. Only then did she agree to let you marry my father. For many years, you couldnt understand grandmothers actions at that time, and you resented her for them. Now that youre a mother, youre trying to stop me instead. I wouldnt be here if you hadnt persevered in the past. Im your biological son, so its natural that I learned to be as persevering as my mother... A sly smile appeared on Shao Yibais face as he said this. Shao Jingshan realized that his son was being perfectly reasonable. It was impossible for him to defend his wife now. Jiao Shuzhen was both annoyed and amused at the same time. This young man had actually exposed her previous misdeeds. This little brat was using her past to silence her! The woman would never give in so easily. She would not be happy unless she stated her side of the story. At least your father and I were an appropriate match for each other. The Jiao Family could be considered as influential then. We had an abundance of financial resources and our social standing was quite high as well. Meanwhile, your father had a good background and impressive military achievements. Our marriage was a union between two powerhouses. Our marriagested for many years because we spoke the samenguage. This allowed us to have strong feelings for each other as husband and wife. Do you and that girl from the mountains even speak the samenguage? Youre going to spend a lot of time with each other when youre a married couple... Jiao Shuzhen was an expert at manipting peoples emotions, but she could also use logic to reason with them. She was being honest with him. After all, the Shao Family had raised Shao Yibai with the best resources out there. Their son was not a schr, but he had numerous other achievements that he could be proud of. In the future, he would not always be serving in the special forces unit. Once he transferred out of the armed services, he would be properly recognized as a public official. How could a man of his status marry an uneducated woman who was nothing but a pretty face? Shao Yibai sat on the sofa. He had wanted to keep a safe distance between Jiao Shuzhen and himself, but he moved closer to her now with arge smile on his face. He massaged his mothers shoulders with both of his hands. Im an adult now, so I dont have to form a powerful union with my wifes family. Ill be a person who she can rely on! As for sharing the samenguage, you dont have to worry about that because Xiaodai speaks excellent Mandarin. Shes also learned the dialect of Capital City. If you dont believe me, why dont I bring her here in a few days to meet you? Shao Yibai had finally stopped beating around the bush. If he brought Xiaodai over to meet his parents, they would have to ept the truth even if they were unhappy about it. When Jiao Shuzhen heard this, she realized that Shao Yibai was avoiding important matters by focusing on trivial things. She would not fall for his trap. Jiao Shuzhen had nned for this earlier on. She had already considered the things that Wei Hongmian had said to her during the phone call. The Wei Familys daughter had an intricate mind. She was also a strong and independent thinker. She realized that it was more effective to work her way in from Su Qingcheng rather than Shao Yibai. She probably assumed that it was alright for her to meet Su Qingcheng because she was not Shao Yibais legal spouse yet. After all, Shao Yibai had not made any promises to her. The circumstances would be different if she dragged Jiao Shuzhen with her. It would mean that Jiao Shuzhen had recognized Wei Hongmian as her rightful daughter-inw. Jiao Shuzhen was a little worried about the younger woman suggestion in the beginning. If Shao Yibai had discovered that she had gone and met Su Qingcheng with Wei Hongmian, he definitely would have gotten angry with her. She realized right now that she had no choice but to start with that young woman after witnessing Shao Yibais attitude on this matter. * The sun looked as if it was on fire hanging in the July sky in Capital City. Su Qingcheng was used to the humid weather back in the mountains, so she still felt miserable even though it was already her second summer in Capital City. Worse still, the physical education sses at the police academy were not any shorter than the training sessions that Shao Yibai had put her through. It was fortunate that she had been prepared by Shao Yibai for them. Her training in Yan Zhou was not useless after all. At least she was currently stronger than her peers in the physical training and skill training sessions. Moreover, she was about to graduate soon. She just had to grit her teeth and endure the veryst part of her training. When todays training session ended, several of Su Qingchengs young ssmates patted her shoulder and sounded a little jealous when they said, Little Su, how is it possible that you seemed to grow whiter the longer you spent under the sun? Thats so unfair! Su Qingcheng was puzzled as well. Everyone else had burnt their skin until it turned as dark as a piece of toast while her skin remained snow-white. Her skin continued to glimmer and seemed to grow all the more translucent. Maybe it has something to do with my body... Su Qingcheng said with a smile. The young people who were able to study here came from excellent families. Although she was able to enter through her personal connections, she did not ck any more than the others did during training. Dont me me if you guys get any darker... Su Qingcheng giggled. Everyone elseughed as well. They chatted while walking back to the dorms. The ss representative appeared suddenly in the dorms looking for Su Qingcheng. When she pushed the door open and saw that she was about to go and wash up, the girl yelled, Little Su, the instructor wants to see you in her office. Su Qingcheng realized that she was still dressed in her camouge training uniform, and her face was still covered in dirt. She said, Ill go over after Ive washed up. The ss representative thought about it for a moment before ushering her to get a move on. Please hurry up! Su Qingcheng quickly showered and changed into a clean white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She had a slim waist and a pair of long legs that made her look beautiful no matter what she wore. After training for more than a year, she did not look delicate or fragile anymore. Her exquisite little face and personality had changed. She was much more resolute and determined now. Her hair had grown as well, adding a touch of gentleness and beauty to her appearance. The instructors office and the dorms were located very close to each other. Su Qingcheng jogged there because it was only a short distance away, but she had begun sweating unexpectedly. Reporting! she yelled at the entrance and stopped at the doorway, wiping the sweat on her forehead with a piece of tissue paper. Come in! The instructor was a woman in her forties who had been working in this field for over a decade. However, this was the first time she had received guests who were the family members of important individuals. She was rather excited about it. Once she was inside, Su Qingcheng realized that there were two other women in the office. The instructor was interacting with them in a friendly manner. It was likely that none of the students in the department had seen her like this before. Maam, you were looking for me? Su Qingcheng spoke in a loud voice with her back perfectly straight. Her eyes were clear and devoid of any unnecessary emotions. The young woman was always full of energy, but she avoided appearing mboyant by keeping a low profile instead. She had a simple kind of beauty. Wei Hongmian was sitting beside Jiao Shuzhen, and her heart trembled when she saw Su Qingcheng entering the room. Even someone like Wei Hongmian who had been part of the high-end circle was forced to admit that the young woman before her was a breath of fresh air inparison to the wealthy, aristocratic socialites like herself... Chapter 372 - What Happened To the Daughter-In-Law and Parents-In-Laws Meeting??

Chapter 372: What Happened To the Daughter-In-Law and Parents-In-Laws Meeting??

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Little Su, the Mistress of Shao Family at Capital City is looking for you. Ill give you a half-day leave, so you dont need to participate in afternoons special training. As the instructor spoke, he looked at Jiao Shuzhen and then nced at the woman from the Wei Family. Lastly, his gaze fell on Su Qingcheng, and he thought maybe this was about a fight between the riches... Thank you, instructor... Su Qingcheng looked at the instructor and thanked him with a face filled with acknowledgment. Jiao Shuzhen showed her gratitude by giving her a nod. Su Qingcheng recalled how painful it was every time her period came, and it was the most unbearable when she had to join the special training as well. Now she had gotten a half-day leave so easily? How wonderful! Su Qingcheng saw Jiao Shuzhen looking at her, so she smiled and did a military salute. Hello, Mistress! Youre Shao Yibais mother, right? * In a high-end clubhouse caf... The environment was spacious, quiet, and elegant. Besides that, soothing music flows through the speakers and filled the room. It was Su Qingchengs first timeing to such a ce. When she was about to enter the caf, she noticed that there was an automatic shoe polisher at the door. Only then did she realized that she was the only one who was wearing sneakers in the cafe. Fortunately, she had long legs, so no one paid attention to her shoes... Su Qingcheng hid her feet and continued to sit up straight. Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian sat together and looked Su Qingcheng in the eyes. Su Qingcheng was a little surprised that Jiao Shuzhen took the initiative to find her. However, it made sense when she thought about it. She had followed Shao Yibai to Capital City, and they had been together for about a year already. Jiao Shuzhen knew about her existence, yet Shao Yibai refused to let her meet his parents. She had to have known half of what was going on even if she was retarded. Then, Su Qingcheng nced at the woman Jiao Shuzhen had brought along with her. She had an elegant air about her, and her presence was somehow undeniable. Moreover, the woman had been staring at her with uncertainty. This made Su Qingcheng realize that this might be a Feast at Swan Goose Gate [TN: a term used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation ostensibly joyous but treacherous.] and she might be besieged... The three of them ordered three cups of coffee and the smell of hand-ground Brazilian coffee was wafting in the air in no time. Miss Su, its inconvenient for us to speak in the academy just now. Ive invited you out so that we can get straight to the point here. Jiao Shuzhen looked around and said, Im looking for you because I want to talk about you and Shao Yibai! Su Qingchengs fingertips trembled a little. The woman sitting in front of her was Wei Hongmian, and she had hardly made any sound since they met. Well, Mistress, you can get straight to the point! Youre Big Brother Shaos mother, and Im younger than you. Anything you said is right! Su Qingcheng said with a sweet smile on her face. She knew that it was inevitable, so she might as well invite her to get straight to the point liberally. With the nourishment of love, Shao Yibais encouragement and care, as well as her diligence, she was no longer the dirty fair-skin boy from more than a year ago! Oh? Miss Su seems very confident... Mm, sort of... Jiao Shuzhen saw how this little girl was not backing down at all and grew somewhat unsatisfied. She thought that as long as she made a move, a little girl like her who had not yet seen the world would be intimidated. Jiao Shuzhen saw her straightened waist and the smile on her face. She was not caught in a bout of low self-esteem at all. If Shao Yibai did not tell them beforehand, she could not imagine that the girl in front of her came from the mountains and was sold to human traffickers twice. The instructor had also mentioned that Su Qingchengs written test and physical training were ced first among all the girls in the entire academy. It seemed like this little girl would not be easy to deal with! Jiao Shuzhen reached out and grasped Wei Hongmians hand. She said to Su Qingcheng calmly, Since Miss Su is being so straightforward, Ill not beat around the bushes. Let me introduce you to thisdy, shes the marriage candidate that I had chosen for Yibai, the little daughter of Capital Citys Wei Family, Wei Hongmian! Although Su Qingcheng had prepared herself mentally, she was still a little surprised by this information. She looked at Wei Hongmian and this elegant woman had on a three-pointed arc smile. The word sweet did not suit her, but she did look like a she could be one of the big sisters. Wei Hongmian nodded at Su Qingcheng and said with a smile, Miss Su, Ive heard about you. Now that Ive seen you, I must admit that you do look good! To hell with sister! This straightforward girl was beginning to dislike Wei Hongmian. This woman came to steal her man, yet she called her sister? What? She wanted to address each other sisters as though we were the first and second wives from the Republic of China era? Su Qingcheng muttered in her heart softly and tried to keep herposure. Miss Wei has already heard about me. Im very sorry then because Ive been in the Capital City for a year and have spent quite some time in Yan State, but I never knew that theres someone called Miss Wei around Big Brother Shao... Su Qingchengs volume was not too loud, and there was no edge to her tone. Her big eyes were watery, dark, and lively. She looked at the two women in front of her face and retaliated. Wei Hongmian felt as though she was being insulted. When she was about to speak, Jiao Shuzhen held her hand down and hinted her not to do so. Miss Su, as Yibais mother, Im very sorry that he has never mention Hongmian before. He is Hongmians childhood friend and both of our families have a marriage contract. However, he is always away from home. This child has a yful and wild nature, and he had now got you involved with himself. I must say, I have got a huge responsibility toward his action as his mother! Jiao Shuzhen actually looked regretful when she spoke. She then sighed and continued, Miss Su, I came to look for you to rify on this matter and to avoid turning this into a huge mistake which could keep you from your bright future! Jiao Shuzhens message was extremely obvious: Shao Yibai did not tell you that he had a marriage contract because he was just messing around with you. The one who would be married into the Shao Family would be Miss Wei. Su Qingcheng did not know what to say. It would be a lie to say that Su Qingcheng was not sad at all. She felt aggrieved and hurt, but she dared not reveal her emotions. What happened to the daughter-inw and parents-inws meeting? She was being rejected directly by them... Wei Hongmian saw that Su Qingcheng did not say anything andughed secretly in her heart. She was right, her aura and position were different when she brought Jiao Shuzhen along with her. Miss Su, Shao Yibai is my son and Ive not taught him well and had allowed to do such a thing. Ill give you 500,000 yuan right now aspensation... As Jiao Shuzhen spoke, she took out a credit card from her handbag and passed it to her gently. Miss Su, our family members are all in the military and political industry for generations. Were not as wealthy as the nobles, but this is just something small to make up for your loss. I hope that you dont think that its too little. If Su Qingcheng had read the novels about rich and powerful CEO, she should be very familiar with this scene. How it would normally go down would be the main female character jumping jump up angrily, shredding the card or tearing the cheque, and tell the other party that she was truly in love with the main male character... Unfortunately, the silly girl, Su Yingcheng had been ying with a small pool of mud ever since she was younger and had never read a novel before... That... Madame Shao, you dont have to give me money now as both of us likes each other. If youre willing to propose to me now, you should first cut it off with Miss Wei! I dared not ept such a huge amount of betrothal gifts... Su Qingcheng said very seriously and gave Wei Hongmian a sympathetic look. Wei Hongmian and Jiao Shuzhen were both rendered speechless.

Chapter 373: Do You Mind Sleeping With Him

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Title Trantors Note: It is a Chinese idiom that says what has been done cannot be undone. It is usually used when two people have sex and there is nothing they can do to change it. Su Qingcheng did not y by the books. That had turned Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian instantly into the passive party. Wei Hongmian had always looked down on Su Qingcheng. She was nothing but an inexperienced little girl. What could she ever achieve? She definitely did not expect Su Qingcheng to be so confident and outspoken. She made Jiao Shuzhen eat her own words... Miss Su, stop ying the fool! Wei Hongmian lowered her voice and there were hints of rage in her eyes. After all, she was well educated, so it was impossible for her to raise her voice in public. All she could do was lower her voice to express her dissatisfaction. Auntie is being very straightforward, cant you see it? Do you still not know the purpose of our visit today? Wei Hongmians voice was trembling since she was trying very hard to suppress her emotions. Su Qingcheng was shocked by Wei Hongmians tone. She leaned backward and said with a smile, Im not so sure! Su Qingcheng retaliated smoothly. Wei Hongmian was speechless. Jiao Shuzhen was having a headache! What would happen if a girl like that got married to her son in the future? She was not only stubborn but also immune to both soft and hard tactics. If they did not maintain a good mother and daughter-inw rtionship, she was afraid that her son would no longer listen to her! Miss Su, I want you to break up with my son! Jiao Shuzhen stopped beating around the bushes and spoke her thoughts exactly as they were without a trace of hesitation. She had always been a kind mother in front of Shao Yibai and she still was one, but she was the only kind towards the people who she liked. Her sons future could not be destroyed in the hands of this girl. She was not suitable to be the daughter-inw of the Shao family! Su Qingcheng saw the disdain in Jiao Shuzhens eyes that seemed as though she was telling her she was being persistent and was pestering Shao Yibai. Thus, the grievance in her heart grew stronger! She then looked at Wei Hongmian. She had heaved a sigh of relief after Jiao Shuzhen said what she did. The elegant look she had on her face when she first entered the door reappeared. Moreover, she even started knocking her delicate nails on the table rhythmically. Su Qingcheng took a deep breath and eximed in her heart, I know that I was born into a family of nothing, but did that give you the right to trample on me? Miss Wei, has Shao Yibai kissed you? Su Qingcheng turned to Wei Hongmain and asked, suppressing the grievances and sadness in her heart. Wei Hongmian was stunned. She did not expect Su Qingcheng to ask this question, and she did not know the purpose behind the question either. She was known as Shao Yibais childhood friend. Nheless, the time that they had spent together might even be lesser than the time that Su Qingcheng had spent with him, so how could she be kissed by him... N-no... Wei Hongmians face flushed. The woman who had always been sharp-tongue started stuttering in her speech. They never even held hands, not to mention kissing. Although she had received western education and was open-minded, it was impossible for her to admit that they had kissed in front of Jiao Shuzhen when being asked such a question. Due to the Wei familys strict upbringing, she was still a socialite who followed the older traditions. Shao Yibai kissed me! Su Qingcheng said softly. Her skin had always been fair, and her little face was ever delicate and lovely. When she said that, she wanted to cry from feeling wronged. Thus, her reddened eyes made her seemed rather pitiful. After Shao Yibai kissed me, he told me that he would marry me and be loyal to me for the rest of his life... Su Qingcheng felt a reckless kind of persistence, and her voice was bing hoarse. Su Qingchengs heart twinged in pain. Although the person who bullied her was not Shao Yibai, the thought of separating with Shao Yibai made her feel like crying. Wei Hongmians face turned red and green when she heard Su Qingchengs deration. She could imagine an outstanding man like Shao Yibai saying Ill be loyal to you for the rest of my life to the woman he liked affectionately and charmingly. Wei Hongmian sighed in her heart. If he said that to her, she would also be as reckless as Su Qingcheng. Jiao Shuzhen stared at Su Qingchengs little face and saw through her joy and the emotions she was feeling at the moment. A hint of hesitation shed through Jiao Shuzhens eyes. After all, she was a pitiful child. Her parents did not love her. She only needed to be loved spoilt by a man like Shao Yibai for her to be so obsessed with him... Miss Su, you should take a mans words with a pinch of salt... Even though Jiao Shuzhen was somewhat hesitant, she decided to be honest with herself when it came to her sons future and career. Its not like that! Su Qingcheng wiped the tears threatening to fall with the back of her hand and continued earnestly, I believe in everything Shao Yibai said! Jiao Shuzhen saw the overly persistent look on Su Qingchengs face and gave a light smile. You should know that most men are just fooling around. Why are you take it so seriously? Shao Yibai is your son, dont you believe in him? Su Yangchengs tone had be softer, but it did not sound weak. Do you really think hes just one of those men? Jiao Shuzhen was stunned speechless by her words. This girl was truly stubborn! Shao Yibai is the one and only man in my heart! You do not believe in him as his mother, but I do! Su Qingcheng said with absolute conviction. I wont me you if you hate me and do not want me to be part of the Shao Family! However, even if we were to break up, I want Shao Yibai to tell me so in person instead of hearing it from someone else... She could not even let Shao Yibai know that she visited, let alone asking Shao Yibai to break up with her. He knew her son very well. Although he had always smiled and joked around her, the girl in front of her was his bottom line. If he knew that she and Wei Hongmian came to pressure her, she was afraid that he might make a big fuss out of it. When that happened, even the bond between a mother and a child could not have prevented it. Su Qingcheng saw that Jiao Shuzhen had stopped talking and looked at Wei Hongmian whose face had turnedpletely red. She continued, Although I havent known Big Brother Shao for a long time, I know that he wont abandon me, not to mention dating two girls at the same time! If Miss Wei truly likes him, I dont mind the fairpetition! Fairpetition? In Wei Hongmians dictionary, there was not a word called failure. Thus, she was never afraid ofpetitions! Okay! Wei Hongmian was also a little excited. She nced at Jiao Shuzhen and said to Su Qingcheng calmly, Since Miss Su said so, Ill ept your suggestion! Jiao Shuzhen heard that and realized then how popr her son was. She did not have any opinions on the oue. Jiao Shuzhen agreed with what Su Qingcheng said in her heart. Shao Yibai was not someone who would abandon his loved one. He was as loyal as his father, Shao Jingshan. At that time, if she did not y a little trick to force Shao Jingshan to sleep with her, the one-track minded man would most probably remain alone all his life, and she would have married Yuan Tangbai instead. He had always treated her extremely well after their marriage. In his mind, he should be loyal to her for the rest of his life. Since she gave birth to his child, she would be the woman that he had to take care of for the rest of his life. Shao Yibai behaved just like his father on this matter! When Su Qingcheng said that she wanted topete fairly with Wei Hongmian, an idea quickly shed through Jiao Shuzhens mind, but she was frightened by her thoughts soon... That was too dangerous. If it fails, she was afraid that Shao Yibai might hate her. Besides, Wei Hongmian might not necessarily agree to it... Chapter 375 - He Wanted to Bully Her Immediately!

Chapter 375: He Wanted to Bully Her Immediately!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wei Hongmian heard what Jiao Shuzhen had said, and the chopsticks in her hand fell onto the table. She looked a little flustered and got up right away. He swung her hands away the moment she held Shao Yibais arm in her trembling little hands. Go away! Shao Yibais eyes were burning with anger, and there were hints of bone-piercing chills in his narrow long eyes. His body was burning up abnormally, especially in his lower abdomen and a strong desire was rising within him. When Wei Hongmian got close to Shao Yibai, he instantly understood the reason why he lost control, so his attitude instantly changed. Wei Hongmians face turned red and white. She bit her lip and looked at Jiao Shuzhen. The helpless look in her eyes exposed her as the protagonist of the dinner at hangmen [TN: the term is used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation that was ostensibly joyous but treacherous] Yibai, you... how can you talk to Hongmian like that? Jiao Shuzhen pretended to be calm and med her son for his impoliteness. You guys can continue eating... Im a little ufortable... I have to go out! Shao Yibai stood up and felt a little light-headed. He felt the burning pain in his lower abdomen once again and was trying to force himself to calm down. Then, he hissed, I wont being home tonight! Yibai, what happened to you? Shao Jingshan noticed that something was wrong, and he red at Jiao Shuzhen with a reproachful look in his eyes. Dad... Tell Little Yu to get a car ready... Shao Yibai supported himself with the corner of the table, and his voice was hoarse and low. His face was flushed, and there were drops of sweat dripping down the sides of his forehead. Shao Jingshan was a man of experience as he had sex with Jiao Shuzhen after he was drunk. However, Shao Yibais drinking capacity was far above his, so how could a little bit of red wine cause such a huge reaction? It seemed like his drinks were being spiked... Ridiculous! Shao Jingshan felt a wave of anger rising from his heart. Since Wei Hongmian was still present, he did not lose his temper. All he did was gave a warning re at Jiao Shuzhen who had run out of ideas on what to do right then. Little Yu, prepare a car and bring the Young Master to the hospital... Right after Shao Jingshan finished talking, the security guard, Little Yu, ran over and supported Shao Yibai with his hand. Jingshan, you... how could you? Jiao Shuzhen was getting a little anxious when she saw that Shao Yibai was about to leave and pulled onto her husbands cuff. What he did was equivalent to leaving her alone and helpless! How could you do this!! Shao Jingshan looked at Wei Hongmian and lowered his voice to scold Jiao Shuzhen, Nonsense! Such nonsense! Wei Hongmian heard it and began weeping at the side. This situation made her feel even more embarrassing than stripping off her clothes. She was the Young Mistress of the Wei Family after all. Not only was she rejected after taking the initiative, but she was also humiliated. Wei Hongmian felt as though her self-esteem had been wounded greatly. Jiao Shuzhen panicked as well. While she wasforting Wei Hongmian, she shouted t Shao Yibai, Yibai, where are you nning to go? Shao Yibai has already stepped out of the door. Ever since he was little, he had never once rebelled against his mother before, let alone shouting at her. He was a very gentleman. Nheless, he was utterly disappointed with his mother today, and his attitude became very cold. The man turned around, looked at the two women in the hall, andughed ironically. Im going to do something that you do not wish to see! After Shao Yibai finished talking, he stumbled his way to the car with the help of Little Yu. Jiao Shuzhen sat on the chair and cried along with Wei Hongmian, Oh lord! Wei Hongmian felt as though she had been insulted greatly! Shao Yibais final gaze was mocking and ruthless. She could tell by just using her toes and brain that he went to find that woman... * Shao Yibai sat in the back seat and told Little Yu the address. Then, he picked up his phone and called Su Qingcheng. The woman was eating a bowl of spicy soup on the table. She was watching a variety show andughing like a pig. Then, she heard her phone ringing and she was still very excited, Let me tell you... Its too funny, Deng Chao tearing that name off... cough-cough-cough... She could not breathe fromughing too much. A mouthful of chili oil poured into her throat, and she started coughing. Su Qingcheng grabbed a cup of water and drank a few mouthfuls immediately. She coughed so much that tears were beginning to form in her eyes. Shao Yibai who was on the other end of the phone heard her voice... Xiaodai... The mans voice was hoarse and maic as he ordered, Baby, be obedient. Take a shower and wait for me! Su Qingcheng had finally stopped coughing. She was holding the phone with a stunned expression. It seemed like she did not understand what he was saying. Are youing over? Su Qingcheng was very surprised. She looked at the night sky outside the window. She thought that he was attending a family dinner today, so he would note over. He had always respected her choices. They were in a very lovey-dovey rtionship, but they had yet to cross the line. Therefore, he would usually hang out with her during the day when he returned from the army, but he would not stay overnight. Xiaodai, listen to me... Shao Yibais breath was inconsistent. He moaned under the pain he was desperately suppressing. Su Qingcheng had always been very obedient. She quickly got up and stuffed the rest of the spicy soup into the refrigerator. Then, she took a bath towel, ran into the bathroom, and washed herself clean with the new shower gel that she bought. Only after she had changed into her pajamas and was sitting on the sofa that she came back to her senses. Why did she need to take a shower and wait for him? She could not figure it out even after she cracked her head open... Su Qingcheng was an impatient person. After waiting for a while, she saw that Shao Yibai had not arrived yet and grabbed a long-sleeved UV coat, wore it on top of the sleeveless nightdress, and went downstairs. Ten minutester, Shao Yibais car arrived at the front door of the unit. Shao Yibai saw a tiny and slender figure standing under the dim light of the streetmp through the thin mist on the ss when he was still some distance away. He wanted to bully her immediately! Shao Yibai got off the car, and his body was a little unsteady. Little Yu supported Shao Yibai along the way. He could not help but question, Isnt the young master supposed to go to the hospital since he was sick? Why did hee here? Su Qingcheng went over to him, and the first thing she said was, What happened? Did he have too much to drink? The girls sweet fragrance triggered something in him,n and his face turned red instantly. He leaned his tall body onto her and called, Xiaodai... Su Qingcheng supported Shao Yibai quickly and realized that his body was very tense. He then flung Little Yus hand off him and ordered without looking, You can leave now! Dont tell anyone that I am here... Little Yu was dumbfounded as he looked at the biased and unreasonable young master. Half of the mans weight was pressing against Su Qingcheng. For someone who worked out as often as him, his body density was a lotrger than the average man. He was as invincible as a wall made of iron and steel! Fortunately, she had gone through some training too! Su Qingcheng had enough strength to haul the burning Shao Yibai into the lift. Right when she was about to ask why did he get so drunk, her entire body was being pushed onto the wall. Then, the burning and uneasy man started kissing her lips ruthlessly... Mm... Big Brother... Shao... Su Qingchengs entire body was trembling with fear. She only managed to shout his name before her remaining words were being eaten up by his lips. His kiss was possessive, and it did not give neither of them the time to breath. Usually, Shao Yibai was able to remain deeply affectionate in his wildness when he was kissing her. It was nothing like right now. It felt like he wanted to gobble her up at this moment! He bit her pink lips and ravaged it recklessly. Each time she took a step backward, he would take a step forward. The tip of his tongue was about to reach her throat! Su Qingcheng felt the difference with his usual self. She stared wide-eyed at his beautiful face with a disbelieving expression. She whimpered softly and grabbed the corners of his shirt tightly with her little hands. Her body was being pushed against the elevator wall by Shao Yibai. She felt his burning body in front of her and the cold touch of the elevator wall behind her. He held her little face with his big hands and allowed himself to deepen the kiss. The man groaned in his throat. He could no longer suppress the urge to ravage her from deep inside his heart. If he was not worried that someone else might see her body through the surveince camera in the elevator, he would have peeled off the offending clothes on her body... Even after the elevator had arrived at her floor, the mans lips did not leave hers. He hugged her as they left the elevator and left trails of hickeys on her neck on their way out... Chapter 376 - Im Sorry, Xiaodai… I Frightened You.

Chapter 376: Im Sorry, Xiaodai... I Frightened You.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The door required a fingerprint verification. Shao Yibai caressed Su Qingcheng while unlocking the door with his fingerprint. Su Qingchengs brain turned nk and she felt her blood surging upward. Her little face had turned bright red. She called out softly as though she was a kitten, Big Brother Shao... Right after the words left her mouth, her entire body was pushed against the door, and the coldness from behind cleared her head slightly. Once they got inside the apartment, Shao Yibais began to strip off her clothes unscrupulously with his big hands. Then, he put her on top of the shoe cab and bit on her sensitive skin gently... The woman eximed, Big Brother Shao... Whats going on with you... She took in his ravaging without any resistance, but she was still puzzled and afraid. Shao Yibai was not in a rush to answer her. Instead, he kissed his way up her skin with his heated lips, leaving a trail of hickeys in his wake. Finally, the mans lips reached her ears. His scent was mingled with the smell of alcohol, and his eyes were red. He then used his hoarse voice tofort the nervous woman in his arms, Xiaodai, be good. I want you, I want you! Su Qingcheng did not know what to say. Only then did Su Qingcheng understood what Shao Yibai meant when he wanted her to shower and wait for him on the phone just now. Her little face turned red, and the top of her head was steaming hot from the make-out session! Big Brother Shao... I-Im... afraid... Su Qingchengs eyes became watery, and her swollen red lips looked seductively beautiful. Shao Yibai pressed his forehead onto hers and tried to control the desire in his heart. Then, heforted her softly, Im sorry, Xiaodai... I frightened you... No-no-no! Su Qingcheng hugged his head and murmured, I like you... As she spoke, she put her arms around his neck and move her little lips towards his. She then nted a kiss on his cheek and his forehead. She did not mind giving herself to him. The reason why she did not allow him to do so before was that she wanted to wait until the night of their marriage. However, how could she still think logically when she was so deep in love? She loved him. After experiencing a love so deep, she could no longer love someone the way she loved him in the future... After being kissed and hugged by her, the desire that Shao Yibai had forcibly suppressed just now was provoked once again. He growled lowly, carried her in his arms, and walked towards the bedroom. He continued to leave marks on her neck on the way there... Her dress had already been torn into pieces, and Shao Yibai took off his clothes in no time. Both of them were naked, and their love for each other had gotten even more intense as they look into each others eyes. Su Qingcheng shivered slightly and tried to make herself seem less nervous. Even so, her slender body trembled still under Shao Yibais roaming gaze no matter how she tried to disguise her nervousness. The ces where his big hands had caressed was triggering a numbness in her that was about to tear down the emotions that she had been brewing for a long time. The woman had no experience, all she did was moan and lose herself in his kisses... Her body was being provoked to the limit yet Shao Yibai did not take any further action. Thus, Su Qingchengined in a low and dissatisfied tone, Why dont you start? Shao Yibai could not help but smile. His little buddy down there was like a cooked lobster, and his dark eyes were filled with fog that had appeared after he was provoked. Cant wait? Shao Yibai bit on her rounded small earlobe. Im afraid that Ill hurt you. Dont be afraid... Come on... Su Qingcheng invited sincerely... Shao Yibai did not make a sound. ... (harmonious society) Su Qingcheng cried in pain. Shao Yibai panicked a little. He looked down at the woman in his arms and asked worriedly, Am I hurting you? Su Qingcheng shook her small little head and said softly with hints of pride, I can bear with it, so dont hold back... Shao Yibai was amused. She was covered in sweat yet she decided to persist so stubborn. Shao Yibai restrained himself instead of acting recklessly. He nted a kiss on her forehead and her eyelids gently! ... The intermittent crying continued untilte at night and ended when Su Qingcheng was about to pass out. There was not a single spot on her entire body that was not hurting. Once he had let himself loose, he had be the God of War in bed... Moreover, he had lost control and ravaged her twice. The woman was lying on the bed like a pile of mud now. Help me take a bath! Su Qingcheng ordered. She could not fall asleep because her entire body was sweaty. Shao Yibai was satisfied as he finally got to sleep with her. He would not even have a problem if she asked him to clean her shoes, let alone helping her take a bath! The bathroom was imbued with steam from the warm water. Su Qingcheng felt sleepy when the water flowed past the water. Shao Yibai stared at Su Qingcheng dozing off with her eyes closed. He smiled as he wiped her body. He was initially very mad at Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian for plotting against him. However, all he felt was gratitude at this moment. After giving her a bath, he wrapped a towel around her, carried her to the bed, and covered her with a cool summer quilt. He then eximed softly, How many pounds did you gain during this holiday? Hmm, around 10 pounds... Su Qingcheng had already closed her eyes, yet she did not forget to ask sweetly and delicately, Are you starting to dislike me? Shao Yibaiughed out loud and kissed her cheeks. Even if you turn into a little pig, Ill still like you! The woman snorted, turned around, and fell asleep. The moonlight was as clear as water. Even during summer in the Capital City, there was such a clear starry sky. The night sky was no longer pitch-ck, and he seemed to have seen hope... Father? Shao Yibai answered his ringing phone, and Shao Jingshan who was on the other end of the call sighed. Yibai, where are you? Your mother is very mad, and shes throwing a huge tantrum at home... Shao Jingshan was a good man. His sense of responsibility was very strong, so after he married Jiao Shuzhen, he had always loved her dearly. Shao Yibai had inherited this quality from his father. Father, Ill bring your daughter-inw back home tomorrow. Shell stop making a fuss then! As Shao Yibai spoke, his smile deepened when he turned around and saw Su Qingcheng sleeping with her limbs wide open through the apricot-colored gauze. Well then, now that the story has yed out like this, bring the girl back home and let us meet her! Shao Jingshan was a man of experience, so he naturally figured it out when he saw the look in Shao Yibais eyes when he left. Shao Jingshan hung up the phone and nced at Jiao Shuzhen who was crying profusely on the sofa. He conveyed Shao Yibais message sighed at the end, You are lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet! I cant believe ady like you would y a trick like this! Jiao Shuzhen continued to wail loudly and did not say anything. Shao Jingshans heart softhearted. He hugged his wife andforted her softly, Since the story has yed out like this, you should stop bothering that girl. Otherwise, even I cant help you when your son makes a fuss! Jiao Shuzhen still felt as if she was wronged in her heart. She was only worried about her sons future, but she was beingined about by the whole family. Then... what if he doesnt want to talk to me when hees home? Jiao Shuzhen was worried that her son might not want to see her. Shao Jingshan said with a smile, Hurry up and prepare a gift to wee your daughter-inw! Chapter 378 - Her Future Mother-In-Law Finally Acknowledged Her as Family…

Chapter 378: Her Future Mother-In-Law Finally Acknowledged Her as Family...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng had guessed correctly. Jiao Shuzhen had prepared a feast for lunch because she knew that she was at fault. She paced along the balcony on the second floor, hoping that her son would return soon. The Shao Family had excellent traits and the members of that family were outstanding. The parents were loving and their kids were filial. The harmonious atmosphere in the family had allowed Shao Yibai to mature into a tough yet kind-hearted man. The family did things in a democratic manner. Although Shao Jingshan had interfered with Shao Yibais work before because he was worried for his safety, he would still respect Shao Yibais decisions in the end. Shao Yibais rxed personality had been cultivated in this way. Unfortunately, Jiao Shuzhen had drugged her son yesterday. Her actions could definitely be seen as a destructive attack on the harmonious atmosphere in the family. Although Shao Yibai was an arrogant and uninhibited man, he had inherited his fathers conservative style of thinking that emphasized filial piety for ones parents. Wei Hongmians family would not simply allow him to get up and leave either. If he had really slept with Wei Hongmian yesterday, he would be left with no alternative today. Thus, one could imagine why Jiao Shuzhen became increasingly afraid when she realized that Shao Yibai would certainly resent her for that. He was her only son. When she met Shao Yibais cold and mocking gazest night, she finally realized Su Qingchengs importance to Shao Yibai. Jiao Shuzhen did not dare to lose her son simply due to the matter of him marrying which women as her future daughter-inw. The final dish was served on the table when the antique English grandfather clock struck twelve times. The guard jogged over to meet Shao Yibais car that was parked at the entrance. Su Qingcheng hid behind Shao Yibai and matched his pace. This day had finally arrived after such a long wait. She finally revealed how frightened she was. She seemed more anxious today than the previous time when Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian came to force her out. Xiaodai, dont be afraid. My father is a kind man. Shao Yibai carried the gift in one hand and held Su Qingchengs hand in the other. He had fought with Jiao Shuzhen before, but that did not mean that he would be unreasonable. They went to the department store early in the morning so that they could buy some presents on Su Qingchengs behalf. Su Qingcheng currently felt that she was not prepared to do this. She took the gift from Shao Yibai and trailed behind him by taking one small step after another. Shao Yibais expression became more and more rxed as he took in the furnishings in the courtyard. Inside the courtyard, Shao Jingshan had traded his military uniform for a gray-colored set of traditional Chinese clothing that made him look energetic and invigorated. Father, Ive brought Xiaodai home to meet you. Shao Yibai walked toward him and pulled his future wife over from behind. Su Qingcheng smiled. Her voice was crisp as she said, Hello, uncle. Im Su Qingdai. Shao Jingshan studied thedy and smiled. This girl was not extremely attractive, but her watery eyes were clean and free from murkiness. She did not put on any makeup. She was dressed in a very simple style of clothing that made others feelfortable being around her. Her milky-white dress made her look like a unique beauty that most fathers liked... Yibai, hurry up and take Little Su inside. Your mother has gotten anxious just from waiting for you. Shao Jingshan led the way while urging them to go inside the house. Jiao Shuzhen had actually heard them arriving at the entrance long ago, but she did not appear to greet them because she was secretly afraid of Shao Yibai. Shao Yibai took long strides and entered the house. He increased the volume of his voice and yelled in an exaggerated manner, What kind of tasty food has Lady Jiao prepared? I think I can smell chilies! Jiao Shuzhen heard her son was not about to me her at all. Moreover, he even called her Lady Jiao in an affectionate manner. Her jittery heart had finally settled down. She went to greet them enthusiastically and took the present from Su Qingcheng. She murmured, You didnt have to bring a present. Youre already part of our family. Su Qingchengs heart was filled with joy. Her future mother-inw finally acknowledged her as part of the family... Su Qingcheng did not show what she was feeling though. She had made a secret agreement with Jiao Shuzhen. The two women acted as though this was their first meeting as they exchanged greetings with each other for a while. Shao Yibai was extremely delighted when he saw this. He had no idea about the thrilling meeting that had previously urred between Jiao Shuzhen, Wei Hongmian, and Su Qingcheng... More than half of the dishes on the table were Si Chuan dishes. They suited Su Qingchengs taste very much. Nevertheless, she was forced to restrain herself since this was the first time she paid them a visit as their daughter-inw. Su Qingcheng pretended that she was not a glutton. Her eyes scanned the dishes indifferently... She would happily admit that it was difficult for her to keep up with this facade. A single nce was enough for her to tell that the food on the table was different from the things that were served in the restaurants outside. It was definitely cooked by an authentic Si Chuan chef. Fortunately, Jiao Shuzhen gave her an opening when they all sat down. Little Su, please try the food and tell us if it tastes authentic. Your uncle invited two Si Chuan chefs from thepound. They spent the entire morning cooking this. Shao Yibaiughed. Were they Uncle Qians chefs? Shao Jingshan nodded. Our family doesnt eat spicy food, but Uncle Qian cant do without it. Thats why his chef makes the best spicy food throughout the entire militarypound. Try the spicy rabbits head. The chef brought it from Old Qians house because he stewed it in advance. Su Qingcheng could not help be touched. Thank you, uncle and aunty... Although she had had enough to eat at home, there were still too many children in her house on top of the fact that they were terribly poor, so it was her two older brothers who got to enjoy dishes like spicy rabbits head. She was extremely obedient, so she was the daughter that was the easiest to be neglected among the three of them. Unfortunately, her parents realized that she was the most valuable one when they were deciding on which daughter to sell... Now she stood before such an illustrious family as the Shao Family. Shao Jingshan had actually looked highly upon her by filling their table with spicy dishes even though the lord of the house did not eat them. She wanted to cry... As a child, her parents had never really loved her. Giving her a mere lollipop was enough to make her cry from gratitude, much less a te filled with spicy rabbit heads. Do you like the dishes? Shao Yibai watched as she gobbled down the food happily. He was a tough man who was neither afraid of pain nor death, but he feared spicy food... Su Qingcheng could feel her lips swollen, but this meal was simply too addictive for her to stop. She nodded her head like a chick pecking at grains. Its delicious! Do you want to try some? Shao Yibai shook his head hurriedly. The cuisine in Capital City was salty but did not have any strong vors. His heart was filled with joy when he saw that Su Qingcheng was eating without holding herself back, but he still felt worried. Is it too spicy? Can your stomach handle it? Su Qingcheng wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue paper. Im used to eating spicy food. I have to eat more today. Otherwise, uncle and auntys kindness will be wasted... Shao Jingshan was happy to hear that. Youre right, Little Su. Have some more. After that, you can take some stewed meat home with you. Jiao Shuzhen could not ept Su Qingchengs family background in the beginning. Now she saw that this girl carried her heart on her sleeve and was not superficial at all. Although she could not bepared to the elegant and wealthy youngdies of the aristocratic families, her ordinary and down-to-earth personality made people feel at ease around her. She sighed quietly. The woman whom she desired as her daughter-inw sat at this very tablest night, but someone else was sitting in that spot today. Nheless, Jiao Shuzhen had resigned herself to this turn of events. After lunch, Jiao Shuzhen dragged Shao Yibai over to the sofa and sat him there. She mentioned out of nowhere, Yuan Xuan has returned to the country for several days. Hes going to marry the youngdy of the Mu Family after some time, so you should go to Luo Hai. Chapter 379 - If You Dont Pass the Political Screening, Ill Just Strip off My Military

Chapter 379: If You Dont Pass the Political Screening, Ill Just Strip off My Military Uniform and Marry You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai chuckled when he heard that Yuan Xuan was about to get married so soon. That little boy actually beat me to it in the end! Jiao Shuzhen red at him and rebuked, Dont be rude. Yuan Xuan is older than you after all. Su Qingcheng had yet to meet Yuan Xuan, but she could deduce from his tone of voice that the two men were close. Shao Yibai pondered for some time before a bright light shed across his handsome face. Father, mother, why dont I get married at the same time as Yuan Xuan? Shao Jingshan and Jiao Shuzhen exchanged a nce while Su Qingchengs face reddened. Shao Yibai had actually brought up the topic of marriage on their first visit to his parents. Was he not being too hasty? Jiao Shuzhen was upset by the proposition, but she would never say anything too bad in front of Su Qingcheng. She merely reproached him by saying, You should already know that the militarypound is so vast. Do you think that its a trifling matter for the Shao Family to wee our daughter-inw? The preparations for this event on their own will have to take a year! Are you sure itll take that long? Well, Shao Yibai had clearly never gotten married before... Your father has his old subordinates, oldrades, and his previous instructors. Did you forget that we have to invite them beforehand? We also have to make preparations in advance for the banquet and the bridal photo shoot. rambled Jiao Shuzhen. Shao Jingshan who was sitting on one side voiced his disagreement with a wave of hisrge hand. Our country is encouraging us to cut down on our expenses now. We must answer the call and go about everything in the simplest way possible. When Jiao Shuzhen thought about it, she realized that what he said make sense as well. Well, we must prepare at least the most basic of routines. Anyway, we have to wait for a while for Little Sus information for the political screening to be approved, right? You have to do the premarital health checkup as well. We cant leave these things out... Su Qingcheng nced at Shao Yibai with her big glistening eyes. Only now did she realize that marrying this man was not as simple as she had imagined. His parents had agreed to it, but the country had to give their consent as well... Shao Yibai sighed. Xiaodai doesnt have a registered permit! Su Qingcheng lowered her head when she saw how shocked Jiao Shuzhen had looked. Are you saying that Little Su is an unregistered resident? Does she even have an identity card? Shao Jingshan was a little surprised as well. Due to his position in the military, it would probably be risky if his son married a stateless and unregistered woman. There are five children in her family, but her parents had never registered her nor her siblings. I helped her obtain a temporary identity card because she needed one to be put on record for her studies. Shao Yibai only knew what Su Chingcheng had told him about her family. Shao Jingshan and his wife exchanged a nce. They were in awe as they only had one child. The Wei Family had three children due to special circumstances. Most of the other children in the militarypound did not have any siblings, but the Su Family actually had five children... Su Qingcheng instantly felt that her status made her seem terribly lowly. She tugged at the corners of her skirt and realized that she might had just been a little too optimistic earlier on. Shao Yibai held her hand and consoled her. If you dont pass the political screening, Ill still marry you even if Ill have to chuck away my military uniform! Shao Jingshan was shocked when he heard those words leave Shao Yibais mouth. Shao Jingshan knew how much his son had loved this uniform. Today, he was actually willing to boldly discard that uniform for the sake of a woman... Father, I know that you really wanted your influence to be passed on to me. That thought never left my mind as well, said Shao Yibai with a smile. However, as a man, what kind of person would I be if I couldnt even protect my own little family? There are many ways for a good man to protect his country. Ive realized that Ive contributed a lot to this nation by fighting in the special forces all these years. Once Ive started my own family, Id like to change to a profession thats less dangerous. Jiao Shuzhen would definitely support Shao Yibai when he made decisions like this. Thank heavens, youve finally sobered up. You carry guns and fight here and there every day to maintain the peace and to catch the criminals out there. Im always worried about you and nearly frightened to death every time... Deep down, Su Qingcheng was aware that Shao Yibai was making a huge sacrifice by doing this. He was devoted to the military camp. * Shao Yibai sent her back to her apartment after they left the Shao household. Both of them had made substantial progress in their rtionship. Shao Yibai would never ept it if one were to ask him to experience the bitter days of the past again. Although they could not make love every night, it would be enough for them to do it once when he returned every month. On the other hand, the policy allowed people in his position to bring family members with them. Thus, Shao Yibai turned to Su Qingcheng and asked, Why dont I take you to see Tian Qi when youre doing your internship? Su Qingcheng was foolishly unaware of Shao Yibais actual intentions. It was true that she had not seen Tian Qi for a long time. Her heart was filled with joy at this idea. Su Qingcheng moved out of the schools dorms two months after her sses started. As an outstanding student who was about to graduate, she was given a referral to do her internship at the police headquarters that was responsible for the area near her apartment. Every day, her life grew further away from a student and more inclined to be a part of the society. When she left the vast and remote mountain area, she turned from a victim into someone who could help others. She was very excited and relieved at this transformation. Before Shao Yibai could keep his promise to take her to the military camp to see Tian Qi, some bad news arrived instead. Tian Qi had directed a violent attack on one of the captives while he was carrying out a mission. This incident was not terribly severe, but it was not a small matter either. The important point was that Tian Qi was more skilled at fighting than the average person. Moreover, he had no sense of proper limits. The prisoner was already sentenced to death, but Tian Qi continued to attack him. Several punchester, the mans spleen had rupturedpletely. If they had not rescued him in time, his insignificant life would have been lost. The consequences for matters that involved grievous injuries were extremely dire. Unfortunately, someone had recorded a video of Tian Qi assaulting the man. This incident was spread around like wildfire the moment it was uploaded online. The keyboard warriors and the gossipers took this incident out of context, and numerous articles that were intended to nder the military soon popped up online... Their superiors immediately formed an internal investigative group in the army to investigate the incident. If Tian Qi was proven to be guilty, he would be brought to trial in the military court. Shao Yibai was so furious he jumped up in anger. He had single-handedly mentored this soldier. Furthermore, he had looked highly upon Tian Qi all this while because of his personal friendship with Su Qingcheng. Tian Qi was a stubborn blockhead, but his heart was pure. People like him were suitable to be in the army because they were loyal to their country. Once he left the army, he would be useless in society. Both of them had suffered as children and had experienced what it was like on the brink of death. Su Qingcheng even regarded Tian Qi as her family. Su Qingcheng became extremely anxious when she heard that Tian Qi was captured. She tearfully begged Shao Yibai to save Tian Qi. Shao Yibai bribed the internal and external parties so that he could mediate between both sides. He managed to get Su Qingcheng to visit Tian Qi at the detention center with great difficulty. Su Qingcheng was happy with the news. She prepared some food and followed Shao Yibai to the detention center. However, this was not a happy ce. Now that Tian Qi had removed his military uniform, he did not look as mighty as before. Sitting in the detention center, he was separated from them by several metal bars. Su Qingcheng saw that the young man was dressed in the standardized prison uniform, and he looked terribly upset. Tian Qi... Su Qingcheng called his name in a small voice. She found this unbearable. Youre an idiot. Why did you attack him? Tian Qi was much thinner now than he was before, and his sunken eye sockets were darkened. Xiaodai, that man was a human trafficker. He had managed to escape from getting caught all this time. When he kidnapped the girls, he would... He would do horrible things to them first before selling them to South-East Asia... When Su Qingcheng heard this, she instantly understood why Tian Qi had attacked that man even after he was captured. He had definitely witnessed those extremely brutal scenes when he was saving the hostages. He still remembered the time when she was almost assaulted at the Yunnan-Burma Junction. Idiot. Youre really an idiot... Su Qingcheng could not help but burst into tears. Whats going to happen to you in the future? Chapter 380 - You Can Never Return to the Army

Chapter 380: You Can Never Return to the Army

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tian Qi hung his head while tears glistened in the corners of his eyes. This unshakable man could not stop his tears from streaming down his face. Ive disappointed Big Brother Shao! Ive also disappointed myself... As he said this, he snuck a nce at Shao Yibai standing beside him. The mans face was ghastly. Shao Yibai sighed again. He could not bear to do this. Dont worry, that man didnt die. He wounded some of our men previously, so youre actions were impulsive, but they werent too severe based on the circumstances. Tian Qis eyes lit up when he heard this. In the future, Ill... You can never return to the army! Shao Yibai rudely interrupted him. The lightest punishment would be to strip you of your military rank so that youll never be recruited again! Su Qingcheng saw the light in Tian Qis eyes vanish instantly. When they left the detention center, Shao Yibai made a phone call to Yuan Xuan. After they exchanged pleasantries, he told Yuan Xuan about Tian Qis situation. I cant make a scene here because of my military rank. Can you contact some of uncles old subordinates to get that blockhead out? Coincidentally, Yuan Xuan was currentlycking a staff member like this. He wanted someone who was honest, quiet, highly skilled inbat and had a clean background. This Tian Qi seems like someone who was perfectly made for me. Dont worry, Ill make sure that he gets out. When that timees, hell be working for me! Yuan Xuan said with a smile. Shao Yibai heaved a sigh. Hemented, Thats my beloved disciple! I raised that boy ever since he was young and you stole him away. Im not happy about this! Yuan Xuan knew that Shao Yibai usually had his own methods of getting along with people. Although he seemed extremely ruthless and strict, he cared about his rtionships with other people. He was stern with his subordinates, but he was also empathetic toward them. Yuan Xuan consoled Shao Yibai by saying, His talents wont be wasted as one of my subordinates. Ill need more staff members once Ive returned to Luo Hai. You already know that there are a lot of people who want to cause my downfall here. Shao Yibai nodded when he heard this. When Ie back, Ill return to Luo Hai with him so that we can attend your wedding together. ... Tian Qis incident reached a conclusion quickly. Su Qingchengs heart was filled with grief, but she also rejoiced when she discovered that Tian Qis military rank was stripped and he was kicked out of the army. It was fortunate that Shao Yibai had made arrangements for him right away. There was someone in Luo Hai who needed Tian Qi to be his bodyguard. This was the best escape route for Tian Qi. ... Su Qingcheng returned to the days when she busied herself with her graduation dissertation. Since Jiao Shuzhen had acknowledged her as her daughter-inw, it was time to prepare for her wedding now. Shao Yibai was swamped with work in the military, so he left the two women to deal with this on their own. On one hand, Su Qingcheng was still young. On the other, she had no connections in Capital City. She could neither help with the small nor the important matter, so it seemed like Jiao Shuzhen was making all the decisions on her own. Su Qingcheng had handed in her information for the political screening. Since she was an unregistered person, information about her past could not be found anywhere. She had neither a registered permit nor an identity card before she came to Capital City. She did not even have a credit card of her own. The people who were in charge of the political screening advised the Shao Family to help her obtain a permit and an identity card first at least. Only then would she be a true citizen of Country Z. Su Qingcheng was tasked to return to her old home first. She was extremely reluctant to return to that old ce. However, in order for her marriage to Shao Yibai to proceed smoothly, she was forced to return to her old province to confirm her identity. This was unavoidable. She was going to have to see her parents again... Shao Yibai knew that Su Qingchengs heart was filled with sorrow. Heforted her by saying, They made certain contributions when they raised you. Although they didnt meet the mark as good parentster on, you still share blood ties with them in the end. If you dont want to see them in the future, you dont have to do that anymore. Su Qingchengs heart was consoled. She simply needed to wait for the results of their premarital health checkup before she could return to her old home and resolve the problems regarding the proof of her identity. Normally, the premarital health checkup could be donest, but Shao Yibai needed to attend the Yuan Familys wedding in Luo Hai soon, so Jiao Shuzhen had arranged for the couple to do the premarital examination together beforehand. Su Qingcheng could not help but admit that this was a troublesome process. She was an exceptionally fit person, but she had to say she was exhausted after having to go to the hospital for two days in a row. There were semen tests, gic diagnosis, chromosomal analysis, electrocardiograms, ultrasounds, endocrine examinations, biopsies, and IQ tests... When Shao Yibai noticed that the young woman was squirming about impatiently, he consoled her in a small voice, These tests are necessary to ensure that we can have a healthy baby in the future. Su Qingcheng did not grasp what he meant. She widened her eyes and looked at Shao Yibai. Does that mean that I cant marry you if my body isnt up to standard? Shao Yibai did not know how to respond to her silliness but tough. No matter what happens, youre still mine. These tests are merely things that people in the militarypound and the sons of the aristocratic families have to go through. Su Qingcheng finally rxed. The results would onlye out half a monthter. Fortunately, Su Qingcheng would be busy with her internship and ceased to worry about the matter no more. Shao Yibai began his preparations to leave for Luo Hai. He would only return one monthter after he left. Deep down, he was reluctant to leave his future wife. The man brought some food and red wine to Su Qingchengs apartment. He seemed unusually enthusiastic. That was because he was actually harboring impure intentions all along. Unfortunately, young Xiaodai failed to see through his little schemes. Once she had gulped down several sses of red wine, Su Qingchengs low tolerance for alcohol was exposed. Her flushed little face felt as though it was about to burn up soon while her head felt heavy and dizzy. Her vision was blurry when she nced at Shao Yibai. Big Brother Shao... Your head... Why do you have two heads? The womans voice was delicate and sweet. The corners of her lips were stretched into a wide smile as though she had truly found a rare treasure. Shao Yibai snatched the wine ss from her hand when he heard that. He wanted her to drink some alcohol to lighten the mood, but it seemed like this girl had drunk just a little too much. Why wont you let me drink... Su Qingcheng sounded rather annoyed. She reached her little hand out to wrench the wine ss back, but her limbs were not cooperating, so she leaned headfirst into him. Shao Yibai carried her in his arms and held her against his chest. The handsome mans breathing started bing unsteady. His lips were tinged with the scent of alcohol, but he pressed them against her ears. Youve had too much to drink. I wont be able to do what Ive nned in a while! Su Qingcheng narrowed her eyes. She had trouble understanding him. What do you mean? I want you! said Shao Yibai boldly. This man was truly shameless at this moment. Since she was already drunk, he did not care about anything anymore. Su Qingcheng spent a long time thinking, but she could not fullyprehend the meaning behind his words. She simply cocked her head to one side and rubbed it against his shoulder. This forced the man to suppress the heat that was burning throughout his entire body... Xiaodai, do you know that this is very dangerous? Shao Yibais voice was unimaginably hoarse. He tightened his grip around the womans limp body in his arms. He had failed to have his way with her ever since their very first time together. He certainly wanted to do it again, but that silly woman merely said, Well be married soon. Why are you rushing? She wanted to resist and had voiced her disapproval in a roundabout manner. She did not yearn for things like this. These situations had urred because of the pain that she had previously felt. Apparently, she was afraid of pain... Shao Yibai felt that matters of the heart could only be solved by getting to the core of the issue. He rewarded her with a feast today so that he could achieve his goal. Chapter 381 - Could His Lust Ever Be Satisfied?

Chapter 381: Could His Lust Ever Be Satisfied?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Su Qingchengs cor was slightly wide, more than half of her shoulders were exposed when she moved. Now that she grew her hair out, the long strands messily hung over her shoulders. Her vision seemed blurry as her eyes had misted over. She pouted her thin lips andined, Whats so dangerous? You dont have to be afraid... Ill protect you... People would want to take advantage of her when she appeared weak and gentle like this... What if I told you that I was the bad person who wanted to bully you? Shao Yibai intentionally lowered his voice. He rubbed himself against her ears and repeatedly blew hot air inside. She hated that ticklish feeling very much, she shook her furry head trying to avoid the sts of air that he stirred up near her sensitive spots. Youre not... A bad person... Su Qingcheng was very loyal. She was wholeheartedly devoted to Shao Yibai. She would not believe it even if everyone else said that he was an evil person. Yes, Im not a bad person. However, I really want to do naughty things with you tonight... As he said this, Shao Yibai unashamedly kissed her lips while hisrge hands frantically explored her body. He set about his task while he led her to the bedroom at the same time. The womans little face had gradually turned redder by the time he pressed her down on the light orange-coloredrge bed. It might be a reaction caused by the alcohol, but she did not resist him at all. Rather, she was cooperating with his actions. Help me take my clothes off! ordered Shao Yibai. Su Qingcheng obediently reached her hands out and helped him unfasten his buttons. All of his muscles were well formed. Men like him always looked like they were extremely vigorous as they were brimming with stamina. During romantic encounters, they caused women to... When Su Qingcheng stroked those taut parts with her little hands, she quietly eximed, So handsome... Do you like it? Shao Yibai chuckled quietly. He liked it when she was infatuated with him. Su Qingcheng nodded her head resembling a chick that was pecking at grains. She ran her little hands over him and said, I do! In the future, will all of this belong to me? Shao Yibais smile became more apparent. He kissed her little nose and made a promise. Itll all be yours. As long as youre a good girl, you can touch me anytime you wish. Shao Yibai started to tease every inch of her body. A little whileter, the woman writhed like a little snake underneath his body. Ill never drink alcohol again... I dont feel good... Its so hot... Her smooth skin started sweating as it turned red from the warmth. Sheined while she anxiously grabbed his shoulders. Good girl, Ill help you cool down now. ... 1 Shao Yibai had thoroughly restrained himself, but the woman continued to moan quietly. She had faintly sobered up. Her glistening doe-like eyes looked at Shao Yibai in disbelief while she pouted her little mouth. Her voice sounded delicately sweet as sheined, In the end, youre still a bad person! When Shao Yibai realized that she was not afraid anymore, he knew that he did not have to restrain himself around her either. The desires that he usually suppressed now poured out of him like an erupting volcano. This was the second time that he had ravaged Su Qingcheng. However, he seemed much gentler now than he did the previous time. Being the person who initiated this, Shao Yibai was clear-headed. During romantic encounters like this, he possessed the innate skills of certain men that allowed them to naturally assume the dominant role. ... Su Qingcheng never knew that there were so many different positions in the world that were just waiting to be explored by her. Furthermore, she did not know that a highly restrained man like Shao Yibai would act like a beast and spare no effort when he encountered a woman that he liked... She was extremely exhausted after being tormented. This was more tiring than any of the physical training sessions that she had experienced. It seemed like she had been dreaming for a long time. In her dream, she carried a sandbag on her back and ran for 20 kilometers. Her legs were numb while her waist and back hurt. After that, she dreamed that she did 500 deep squats. Was that the reason why she could not keep her legs closed? ... She fell into a deep sleep for some time, ignoring the sticky sweaty feeling all over her body. She did not even care about taking a shower anymore, it was more important for her to stay alive. The sky would turn bright soon. She felt a burdensome weight on her body again. She quietly murmured, I dont want... She waved her hand and attempted to push off the sandbag that was weighing down on her body. No... No... She wanted to cry, but she could not open her eyes. Be a good girl, Xiaodai. This is thest time. ... Could his lust ever be satisfied? Su Qingcheng felt like she had been tricked. If she married a man like this, could she still live peacefully in the future? The passionate encounters between people should have stopped when dawn arrived. The sun had finally stopped hiding now as well. The woman was deeply buried underneath the nkets. One of her arms was exposed, and with intertwining purplish bruises and red marks on it. Shao Yibai came out of the bathroom and nced at the woman who looked incredibly exhausted. He smiled before he turned around and went to the kitchen. He got himself busy preparing a nourishing soup, little rolled buns, and delicious side dishes like a steamed egg with vegetables. Once he was done, he took his cell phone from the table and yed some rxing music next to the womans ear. It was a ssical, old song with a soothing melody. Su Qingcheng opened her eyes and gave a smile that was equally charming, sweet, and adorable. She raised her hand and pinched his shoulder and said, I knew that you were evil. She only realized this after he had his way with her. The corners of Shao Yibais lips stretched as he grinned happily. Im going to Luo Hai for a while and I wont be able to see you for a while. Shouldnt you give me a treat before I leave? Shao Yibai lowered his head and nted a scorching kiss on her shoulder when he said that. Su Qingcheng whimpered. * During the next few days, the man abandoned his need to fulfill his desires. Su Qingcheng had considerably good stamina, but he had tormented her quite severely nheless. She felt rather relieved the moment the man stepped inside the ne. It felt like she was giving herself a break. That mans lust was truly too intense... Su Qingchengs cell phone suddenly rang as she was returning from the airport. It was Jiao Shuzhen. Although the date of their wedding was approaching, Jiao Shuzhen onlymunicated with her when it was absolutely necessary. When Jiao Shuzhen called her just as soon as Shao Yibai had left, Su Qingcheng was slightly worried. Aunty? Su Qingcheng greeted her quietly. On the other line, it seemed like Jiao Shuzhen had just finished crying. Her voice was very faint. Little Su, could youe over? I need to tell you something. * Shao Family Mansion This was not Su Qingchengs first time here. She was slightly anxious the previous time, but Shao Yibai was there to apany her. Moreover, she was filled with anticipation and hope for her future. This time, she was gued by indescribable feelings of sorrow and disappointment. Jiao Shuzhen was sitting on the sofa opposite Su Qingcheng while Shao Jingshan sat beside her and smoked. His gaze was terribly haggard and weary. Uncle, aunty, if you have something to say, just tell me! Su Qingchengs hands and feet were cold as she held the health checkup report that Jiao Shuzhen passed to her. The results of the diagnosis were typed out on the report. It stated that they would only have a 5% chance of fertility due to a chromosomal ipatibility... Little Su... Do you know what this means? Jiao Shuzhens tears streamed down her face uncontrobly as she said this. She had already cried for half an hour. Frankly, she had not stopped crying ever since she received the results of the premarital health examination. Aunty, please be direct with me. I dont really understand these medical terms... Just tell me what to do and Ill do it... Su Qingcheng forced a smile. Although she did not understand, that report clearly stated her and Shao Yibai suffered from rare chromosomal incapability that was rarely seen in the medical field! Footnotes:

Chapter 382: Im Going to Leave Capital City Before Shao Yibai Returns

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The probability of getting pregnant in situations like these was very low. They could try in vitro fertilization, but there was a high chance that the baby would be miscarried before it reached full term. The mothers body would treat the fertilized egg as a foreign body and expel it... Little Su, if you marry Shao Yibai, you might... You might... You might not be able to have your own children throughout your entire lives... Jiao Shuzhen was truly troubled by this matter. Su Qingcheng held the report tightly. She lowered her gaze and stared firmly at the words on the report. The words kept getting clearer, but her memories and consciousness got blurrier. She recalled the worrying dream that she recently had. All of the happiness that she possessed vanished into thin air when she woke up. She was not lucky enough to love a respectable man who felt the same way about her. It was impossible that everything would work out so perfectly. Everything was over now because she had awakened from her dream. She was back to square one. Aunty, are the results of this examination final? Su Qingcheng had yet to fully ept this. The people in the mountains where she grew up in simply got married and had children without thinking. People like her who were unregistered citizens were the result of families having too many children. She never imagined that people would predict whether they would have children in the future before they were even married... No, theyre not. Thats why your uncle and I discussed this. We were nning to take you and Yibais samples to another reputable hospital to be tested again. Jiao Shuzhen did not hide this from her. They had prepared two sets of their samples beforehand because it was difficult for Shao Yibai to move freely while he was in the army. He was currently in Luo Hai, but that did not affect anything. Su Qingcheng closed her eyes. Deep down, she fully understood this already. The institution that did theirboratory tests belonged to one of the bigger and more renowned hospitals in Capital City. They would get the same results even if they were to go to another hospital. Due to this, Jiao Shuzhen cried and turned into a mess when she saw the results. Her son had decided on this woman whether Jiao Shuzhen liked her future daughter-inw or not. Judging from Shao Yibais reaction, he would remain faithful to Su Qingcheng even if she was unable to bear him children. Thus, Jiao Shuzhen was worried that the Shao Familys line would end here in the future. Aunty, regardless of the oue, you dont have to worry. I wont act selfishly... I wont selfishly put myself first... Im not going to trouble you if Im truly unable to marry Shao Yibai! It was extremely difficult for Su Qingcheng to say this. Herplexion was ashen and the world that she had built in her mind suddenly copsed when she thought about the possibility of her leaving Shao Yibai in the future. Jiao Shuzhen did not dare to believe the things that she heard. Shao Jingshan was also slightly shocked by this. Due to the Shao Familys status and financial circumstances, most people would desperately struggle even when issues like this cropped up. They would strive for a chance for themselves. Unlike this stupid girl, they would never easily give up! Little Su, you... How can wepensate you? Jiao Shuzhen blurted out. In her mind, she could not allow her son to just sleep with this woman for nothing if he did not marry her... Su Qingcheng bitterlyughed when she saw the look of disbelief on their faces. Her voice was not loud, but she spoke in an extremely earnest and steady manner. Aunty, I dont want any form ofpensation. Big Brother Shao has already given me enough. I have an education and the ability to work now, so I can survive on my own... Shao Jingshan was slightly reluctant to ept that. He waved hisrge hand. In a low and muffled voice, he said, How could we let you do that? Is the Shao Family filled with such unsympathetic people? Little Su, neither you nor Jiao Shuzhen should panic regarding this matter. You should get the tests done again and well see what happens after that! Su Qingcheng nodded. Ill go along and do whatever you want me to do, but there are some things that I have to tell you first. Three generations of the Shao Family only had one son each, but your familys bloodline is not going to end with Shao Yibai because of me! I love him very much... I love him so much that... I dont even know who I am anymore... Su Qingcheng choked back her sobs for a while. I came from lowly origins, so being loved by him was clearly a blessing from God. He saved me, and I saved him too. Were not trying to get anything from each other. Were purely in love. If I love him, I must be willing to make sacrifices... I know that Shao Yibai loves children... Su Qingchengs tears finally came streaming down as she could not hold them back anymore. Shao Jingshan and his wifes hearts were filled with sorrow when they witnessed this. Jiao Shuzhen took some tissue papers and passed it to Su Qingcheng. Little Su, dont cry. Im not trying to make things difficult for you. Right now, these results are simply the conclusions of one party and could be a probability issue. Lets try the tests somewhere else. Su Qingcheng nodded. Ill leave everything to you, aunty. * Returning to her apartment and seeing everything before her, Su Qingcheng felt as though she was dreaming. Her memories reyed in her mind, including her first meeting with Shao Yibai up to the time when they were dating. They only shared sweet moments as there were no regrets. Now that this had happened, she felt that God was punishing her. She was never fated to enjoy a life like this. Within two short years, it seemed like she had almost used up all the happiness in her life. Her only friend in Capital City was Tian Qi, but he had followed Shao Yibai to Luo Hai. She did not have anyone to share her worries with anymore. She sat on the window seat and basked in the afternoon sun for the whole day. Tissue papers piled up on the ground below her feet. They had arranged to do the tests in another reputable hospital in Capital City the next day. Su Qingcheng followed Jiao Shuzhen to the hospital early in the morning. They did not have to queue and were merely required to go through a simple process. Unlike the previous time, the main purpose of this examination was topare the test results. When the doctor read the diagnosis that was given by the previous hospital, a pessimistic look appeared on his face. This time, they would receive the results very soon. They would not even need to wait for half a month. Su Qingcheng had only waited for three days, but she felt as though those days had dragged on like a year. She prayed to God but warned herself not to harbor wishful thoughts at the same time. ... Shao Yibai was physically in Luo Hai, but his heart yearned for the young woman who stayed behind in Capital City. As he would video call her every day, he gradually noticed that there was something wrong. Do you miss me very much? Shao Yibais voice was resplendent and warm when heforted her. Su Qingcheng wanted to abandon everything else just so that she could be with him. However, she instantly sobered up when she calmed down and looked at the face on the screen that she would never forget throughout her entire life. Love would always require sacrifices... She was being selfish right now. I miss you very much! Su Qingcheng touched the screen that showed his handsome face. She wanted to cry... When the results of theboratory test came out three dayster, Su Qingcheng was not surprised by the oue anymore. Mrs Shao, its up to you to make a decision regarding this matter. We can merely provide you with some statistics that you can refer to. As for the oue, the tests may not necessarily be urate. There have been couples who sessfully had babies several yearster... The doctor who tested her said this in a very tactful manner. When she saw that Su Qingcheng looked utterly devastated, she suddenly found it hard to continue on. She initially assumed that the girl who was going to be married into the Shao Family of Capital City would be an extremely calctive and conspiring woman. She never expected that the young woman before her would be innocent and pure. She forced herself to stay calm when she heard the news but deep down, she waspletely disheartened and filled with sorrow and fear. Jiao Shuzhen took the results of theboratory test and got into the car with Su Qingcheng. As expected, neither of them said anything throughout the journey. Jiao Shuzhen sighed and groaned. Previously, she was secretly unhappy with certain aspects of Su Qingcheng. However, she had truly started to like this girl now... When Shao Jingshan returned to the Shao household and saw the same results, his face darkened as well. He took his cigarettes and hide in the courtyard alone because he felt depressed. Aunty, Im going to leave Capital City before Shao Yibai returns... Chapter 383 - It Was All A Lie

Chapter 383: It Was All A Lie

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Aunty, Im going to leave Capital City before Shao Yibai returns... Su Qingchengs deration stunned Shao Jingshan and his wife. He was the proud chief of the militarypound, but he was as helpless as any other mortal now. Shao Jingshans dark pupils faintly darted around while he lowered his face but remained silent. Little Su, are you sure... Jiao Shuzhen never imagined that the girl who always seemed so calm would want to leave Shao Yibai now. Yes, Im sure... Uncle, aunty, Im going to leave now. Im not going to wait for Shao Yibai to return. Hell never let me leave when hes back! Itll hurt less when I do it now thanter... Once Ive left... Hell love someone else in the future... Im not going to waste his time... Fat tears rolled down her face uncontrobly. She did not shed any tears when her parents sold her off or when she was dragged to the Yunnan-Burma Junction. She never cried when she was forced to starve for an entire day either. The world that she had built in her mind copsed when she thought of leaving Shao Yibai. It felt as though she was being crushed and she was in so much pain... Shao Jingshan nced at his wife before he shifted his gaze toward his daughter-inw. He could not hide the conflicted feelings in his heart. Finally, he lowered his voice and said, Youve made this decision, but whats going to happen when Yibai returns? Ive raised that boy and Ive seen his temper. My son isnt going to just let this matter go! Dont worry, uncle. I wont let Shao Yibai find me. Once a long time has passed and hes failed to locate me, he... He wont wait for me anymore! Su Qingcheng forced herself to speak while she choked back her sobs. God was extremely cruel to y with her feelings like this. Everyone else was allowed to have a happy ending except for her. We can provide you with some assistance... Jiao Shuzhen hurriedly said. Theres no need. Su Qingcheng quietly declined. Her doe-like eyes were already swollen from crying. She rubbed her temples. There was a nasal tone in her voice when she said, Since Im already nning on leaving, I dont want... I dont want to leave any traces behind. I can survive on my own in the real world. Im not the same weak girl anymore... Shao Jingshan sighed and paced around the courtyard. A momentter, he spoke in the domineering tone that was used by officials and said, Little Su, please take some money so that we can be at ease! Su Qingcheng, ... * Flight number A254 flew from Mo Du to Luo Hai. Half an hourter, itnded on the runway of Luo Hais airport. At the same time, flight number C356 departed from Luo Hais airport and flew toward Capital City... On the ne, Shao Yibai took a gift box out of his pocket that contained a ssic diamond ring. A terrible scandal had urred during Yuan Xuans wedding. Shao Yibai was there to witness Mu Chenyan being dragged away and he noticed how helpless Yuan Xuan was. Some couples were forced to undergo challenges before they could be together. This made Shao Yibai very emotional. He was thankful to God because he and Su Qingcheng were a happy couple who had never experienced serious setbacks... * Capital City Su Qingchengs apartment waspletely silent. The pitch-ck night sky engulfed Shao Yibais calmness. Two hours ago, he managed to locate the department where Su Qingcheng was doing her internship by going to her school. Her cell phone was turned off and she hadpletely disappeared without a trace. Shao Yibai stood at the area downstairs her apartment and gazed at the familiar window. He could not understand this at all. The woman was still talking to him on the phone three hours ago. She promised that she was waiting at home for him with the soup that she had already boiled. However, she ended up cutting off contact with him instead. Su Qingcheng did not have any other friends in Capital City. She generally did not go anywhere else aside from the department and her apartment. She would probably not be in any danger because she was skilled in martial arts. The department of her internship also stated that she was still at her post in the morning. Once she had finished her work, she requested for leave in the afternoon. Everyone assumed that she wanted to meet Shao Yibai... This strange situation gave him an indescribable sense of panic. He continued to smoke while he repeatedly dialed that familiar number. * Shao Family Mansion Shao Yibai enlisted the help of all his connections and continued to search for her until it waste at night. He saw that Shao Jingshan was waiting for him at the doorway when he returned to the mansion. He greeted in a dull voice, Father... Shao Jingshan nodded. He patted his sons shoulder and murmured, Yibai, Little Su has left! Shao Yibai resembled a wild beast with fur that was standing on end. His hawk-like eyes exuded chills. You knew about this too? He left no stone unturned when he searched everywhere for Su Qingcheng. Did his parents already know that she was gone while they were at home? Jiao Shuzhens face was filled with remorse and helplessness when she walked out of the house. We knew that she left, but... Shao Yibais voice was hoarse when he coldly spat, Did you chase her away while I was gone? He regretted his decision not to bring along Su Qingcheng to Luo Hai with him. He also felt remorseful for allowing her to return to Si Chuan on her own to get her documentation done. We never chased her away! Jiao Shuzhen was terrified of her sons gaze. He looked at them as though they were his enemies. In a shrill voice, she yelled, She decided to leave on her own. Shao Yibai did not believe her. He threw his jacket off. His hands trembled as he took the ring from his pocket that he had prepared earlier. His eyes were bloodshot while his cold voice quivered as he asked, Why would she leave when I was about to marry her? Tell me, where is she? Shao Yibai seemed slightly mad as he had lost control of himself. Shao Jingshan knew that Shao Yibai would not willingly let the matter go. He felt a dull ache in his heart when he noticed that his son was terribly worked up. The expression on the mans face darkened as he passed a cigarette to Shao Yibai. We dont know where she went. The rims of Shao Yibais eyes reddened. He took the cigarette and crouched on the ground. A long time passed before he muttered, Both of you are really cruel! Why did you do this? Tell me why! Son, look at this report... We werent trying to be cruel... Jiao Shuzhen sobbed as she passed the results of the premarital health checkup to him. Shao Yibai took it from her. When he nced at it, he instantly understood why. Suddenly, he lowered his head andughed maniacally. Hisughter sounded strange but miserable. It became louder as it echoed throughout the night sky. Is it because of this? Youre such an idiot! Jiao Shuzhen knew that Shao Yibai was scolding Su Qingcheng. She could not stop her heart from hurting when she saw how much her son was suffering. She wailed loudly beside Shao Yibai. Father, mother, how could you be so narrow-minded? I cant believe that you let her go because of this. Shao Yibai stoppedughing, but his eyes were still red when he asked, Why didnt you consider my feelings? What made you think that you had the right to make this decision for me? Why does it matter if she can give birth to my children or not? Shao Jingshan did not answer. He restrained himself and watched as Shao Yibai spiraled out of control. Finally, he sighed and patted Shao Yibais shoulder. He calmly said, To be honest, we have a certain role to y in situations like these because were your parents, Yibai. However, she was already very determined when she left... Shao Yibai shook his fathers arm off and charged into the night. ... Su Qingchengs apartment was still as sweet as before. As an extremely feminine young woman, she had filled the simple apartment with pink-colored elements that she really liked. Shao Yibai picked up the ragdoll on the sofa that he used to despise for a long time. The ragdoll still had a faint smell of the womans fragrance after her shower. The nts on the table had recently been watered, while a pair of her little underpants was still drying on the balcony that faced the south. The ingredients in the fridge were still fresh. Su Qingcheng sat here in the morning and promised to make him soup... It was all a lie. She was already prepared to leave at that moment! Chapter 384 - The Weather in Luo Hai Was So Humid That Tears Formed in the Corners of Her Eyes Again

Chapter 384: The Weather in Luo Hai Was So Humid That Tears Formed in the Corners of Her Eyes Again

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai felt as though someone had stabbed a sharp de in his heart when he thought of that. Each stab from that double-edged sword brought him closer to a violent death... He stared nkly as he sat on the side of the bed where they had previously made love. He stayed awake throughout the night, staring at the ragdoll that the woman had left behind. The next morning, he drove straight to the Capital City airport. Within two days, he managed to obtain all the information about the scheduled flights that were arriving and departing. However, there was nothing about a woman named Su Qingdai. The information counter at the train station also said that she was not one of their passengers within those two days. Suddenly, Shao Yibai realized that he had overlooked an important problem all along. He had never found out the exact location of Su Qingchengs hometown in Si Chuan. The remote mountain valley that she mentioned more than a dozen times, remained merely as just a remote mountain valley in Shao Yibais mind. The man had lost himself in love. He only realized now that he had never asked her about these things in detail because he trusted her too much. Please help me check if this person, Su Qingdai, used her officers identification and went to Si Chuanst week. Suddenly, he realized that Xiaodai did not use the name Su Qingdai when she left Capital City yesterday. She must have given herself a new name when she returned to her hometown. Shao Yibai decided that he would personally visit her hometown. All the information about her would probably be there. * Luo Hai This woman was a stranger in a new ce. She reached into her backpack and took out the cellphone that she had recently bought. She put in a new sim card and called a number. Li Ji, Im in Luo Hai. The man on the other side of the line sounded rather joyful for some time. Xiaodai, why didnt you say so earlier? There was a dy along the way. I didnt want you to get anxious from waiting. Su Qingcheng was terribly exhausted. She wrapped her coat tighter around her body. Cold air seeped through the autumn breeze. Luo Hai was said to be located at the border of the South China Sea. Was it supposed to be this cold? She did not know why she decided toe to Luo Hai. Perhaps it was because she knew that Shao Yibai had breathed the air here before. She was like a mistletoe nt. She admitted that she could not survive without Shao Yibais love to rely on. However, she was still afraid that he would find her. For that reason, she used different identification papers and traveled across three cities before finally arriving Luo Hai from Mo Du. There were traces of his presence here. She could survive if she depended on those traces and the remainder of his aura. Xiaodai, wait for me at the airport. Ille and get you! Li Ji sounded faintly excited. Alright, thank you. Su Qingcheng ended the call. She took some tissue paper and wiped her eyes that were already dry. However, the weather in Luo Hai was so humid that tears formed in the corners of her eyes again... * The weather in xx province of Si Chuan was slightly chilly after the autumn rain. The public bus traveled for four hours before it stopped beside the road. Even the high-rankingmander of the special forces from the militarypound in Capital City was forced to admit that the journey here was very dangerous. Andslide broke out along the way and resulted in a torrent of mud and stones. The journey was supposed to take two hours by bus, but they ended up traveling for four hours instead. As the bus could not enter the mountain area, Shao Yibai got off at thest stop. He nced at the little path that traveled deep into the high mountains. He began to thank Xiaodais parents for selling her off in the past. Otherwise, he would live his entire life without knowing that a girl whom he would end up loving dearly lived in this remote mountain area. He walked along that little path for a kilometer before an ox cart that was carrying people appeared beside him. The old man who drove the ox cart wore a leather jacket. His tanned skin was a unique characteristic of the people who lived in the mountains. He was curiously looking at the man before him who was dressed in a branded coat and carried himself in an extraordinary manner. Young man, do you need a ride? The old man suddenly called out to him in an attempt to engage in business. Shao Yibai only managed to discover that Xiaodai had previously came to the public bus stop that he had just gotten down from. He had no idea which direction to proceed in if he walked any deeper into the mountains. Uncle, do you know if theres a Su family in this vige? said Shao Yibai in a clear and resplendent voice. The old man observed Shao Yibai from head to toe. This young man had an impressive bearing and a melodious voice. The old man smiled. This vige is called Sujiazhai and most of the families who live here have thest name of Su. Which Su family are you referring to? Shao Yibai was stunned. However, the old man awkwardly repeated his reply in Mandarin as he assumed that Shao Yibai did not understand his Si Chuan dialect. Shao Yibai sighed as a worried look shed across his handsome face. He rushed here on his own to look for Xiaodai without contacting any of his other connections. He was worried about agitating her parents. Looking back at his actions now, he realized that it was quite a hasty decision. Why dont you follow me in my ox cart and go from house to house to ask? You might be able to find the Su Family that youre looking for. The old man did not forget to rmend the services of his ox cart. It seemed like the old man was merely looking for something to do in his free time. That was probably why he had prepared this ox cart. Shao Yibai looked at the ox cart. If he went in on foot by himself, it would be unlikely for him to get far on this rugged road even if he spent the entire day here. Shao Yibai took out a hundred yuan and passed it to the old man. Please show me the way, uncle. The old man was as giddy as a young girl when he saw the pink-colored note. He loved these hundred yuan notes with the image of Mao Zedong printed on them. The old man tucked the money in his clothes before he called out to his long-time partner, saying, Big Yellow, show us the way. Were going to Sujiazhai! The ox named Big Yellow, the old man, Shao Yibai, the beautiful scenery, and the clear blue sky formed a strange, harmonious scene. Nheless, the soldier from the special forces of Capital City still looked very dashing when he sat in the ox cart. * Luo Hai Li Ji took Su Qingcheng to the studio apartment on Han City Road that was registered under his name. It may be a studio apartment but it was actually more than 80 square feet with two rooms. Theyout of the apartment was carefully decorated in a romantic and feminine style that Su Qingcheng liked. Su Qingcheng admitted that she was still an immature young woman on the inside. Did Miao Hong help you decorate this ce? Su Qingchengughed. Li Ji nodded. Embarrassed, he said, Miao Hong stayed here when she had just arrived in Luo Hai. Since it became inconvenient for me after she got pregnant, I let her move to Qing Qing Yuan instead. I knew at once that this wasnt your style. Su Qingcheng giggled. Li Ji put Su Qingchengs luggage down before the handsome gentleman scratched his head. Smiling, he said, Miao Hong said that she was going to visit you in Capital City if you didnte to Luo Hai. Su Qingcheng forced a smile. Miao Hong shouldnt be running around when shes pregnant! Li Ji nodded. Shes already seven months pregnant. When she heard that you wereing to Luo Hai, she was so excited that she insisted oning with me. However, I refused to let here along. Ill take you to Qing Qing Yuan to visit her tomorrow. Li Ji, you and Miao Hong... We havent gotten our marriage certificate yet. Li Ji was slightly dejected. My parents havent agreed to it... Su Qingcheng was stunned. Miao Hong was pregnant with Li Jis child, but the Li Family still refused to acknowledge her. She could not believe it! Su Qingcheng recalled that Li Ji, Hong Miao, and herself had met merely by fate. When she first arrived in Capital City, Li Ji and Hong Miao were tourists. They were a pair of young lovers who visited temples, wandered around the old pces, and soaked in the hot springs... It was notmon for thieves to be near such areas, but it just so happened that there were two gamblers who had reached a dead end after they lost all of their money. They saw an opportunity when they saw Li Ji at the entrance of the goldsmiths store, and robbed the gift that Li Ji bought for Miao Hong for their anniversary. When Su Qingcheng first came to Capital City, she liked going to the nearby library. She merely needed to stretch her leg out and trip those two thieves. Later, when Su Qingcheng spoke to Miao Hong, she discovered that the other girl was also from Si Chuan. They decided to have hot pot together. They found more things inmon with each other as they chatted. Miao Hong was a few years older than Su Qingcheng. Since she was a straight-forward person, she gave Su Qingcheng her phone number. Both of them frequently spoke to each other on WeChat. Su Qingcheng never expected that her initial actions would help herter on when she had nowhere to go. When Su Qingcheng spoke to Miao Hong on WeChat and told her about her situation, Miao Hong had already guessed the oue. Both of us were kicked out of those wealthy households. Since youve already thought it through, you should juste and see me in Luo Hai! Chapter 385 - A Man Who Had Never Wept Burst Out Crying

Chapter 385: A Man Who Had Never Wept Burst Out Crying

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Sujiazhai was not a huge vige, it was upied by over two hundred families. When Shao Yibai asked for ady called Su Qingdai, he was greeted cordially by the people from the vige. Oh, youre looking for Little Darkie the Third? Shao Yibai was startled, he wondered, Su Qingcheng isnt that dark... After a short journey on a bluestone path through a bamboo forest, a green-bricked building came into view. There were a total of four houses, and dried bamboo shoots were seenid out in the courtyard. During thest ten days of October, the rivers underwent depression, and the autumn rain had begun, causing the air to be humid. Due to these reasons, the dried bamboo shoots appeared to be in poor color. A young girl was seen flipping over those dried bamboo shoots while holding a book, unaware of Shao Yibais presence. On the other hand, a big golden-haired local dog in a corner was very alert, by which it barked loudly at Shao Yibai. Although the dog was a native dog, it was sharp-witted. When it caught sight of Shao Yibais fierce look, it fell silent after a few barks. Owing to the cold look of the handsome-looking man, the young girl was so taken aback that she dropped her book when she stood up. Who are you looking for? The girl appeared to be 16 or 17 years old. She had dark skin and was seemingly malnourished as she was so thin that shecked the radiance of a youngdy. Youngdy, do you have a sister called Su Qingdai? It was an uncle from the vige who led him here, and by the looks of it, this youngdy was probably Xiao Dais little sister. Thats me... The youngdy was surprised by his visit. Moreover, he spoke fluent Mandarin. Most importantly, this man gave an unapproachable impression as he showed a sense of oppression, which frightened the youngdy. Thats you?? Shao Yibai was utterly shocked. Then...you have a sister... I have two sisters... The youngdy hesitated, looked inside the house, then yelled, Dad, someones here to look for sister... While she raised her voice, she scurried into the house. Subsequently, an old man came out and shouted at her, Why are you screaming like a ghost? What do you mean by your sister? Old Man Su had just returned from ying cards where he lost some money, thus he was having an unpleasant mood. Just as he was about to take a nap, he was woken up by his youngest daughter, which caused him to feel very grumpy. Shao Yibai furrowed his brows as he looked at the man who came out of the house. He did not look old, but he hadziness written all over him. After the youngdy who imed to be Su Qingdai was lectured, she hid behind the old man and stole nces at Shao Yibai. Who are you? Finally, Old Man Su realized that another man was standing in the courtyard. As soon as Old Man Su noticed his attire, he grumbled softly, Could it be that my second daughter caused trouble outside? Now hes here to settle ounts? Sir, hello! Shao Yibai spoke gently. He saw the youngdys eyes glimmer as if it was her first time encountering a handsome man with such a deep and charming voice. Id like to ask, you have a daughter, Su Qingdai... In actual fact, Shao Yibai was at a loss, he had no idea of Su Qingchengs real name at home. This is Xiao Dai! The old man pulled over the youngdy hiding behind her, then continued with a low voice, The girl youre looking for is Chengzi the Second, right? Chengzi the Second... Confused, Shao Yibai simply nodded. Did she cause any trouble outside? D*mn this girl! I made her marry Old Liu from the grocery store in the town, yet she ran away after beating him up. Motherf*cker, I lost 10 thousand dors because of that! This little girl, she even came home a few days ago to write out a certificate for an identification card... While Old Man Suined, he pointed a finger to the sky and cursed furiously, D*mn you girl! I was going to drag her over to Old Liu for her to admit her mistake, but she acquired some skills and attacked me. Even her two brothers were no match for her! Tell me, did she fight you and injured you? Shao Yibai frowned even more as he cast a vacant look at Old Man Su, he understood the situation here and there. Looks like when Su Qingcheng returned a while ago to get her certificate, this man actually still nned to sell her off. Luckily, Xiao Dai has superb martial art skills, and beat him up so badly that he probably pissed in his pants! Im telling you, if she caused any trouble outside, Im not going to be responsible for it. Shes no longer a part of Su Family, and wherever she goes, its best that she dies outside... All along, Old Man Su still took Shao Yibai as a debt collector. Right then, the little girl pulled the corner of her fathers shirt, and sobbed softly, Daddy, second sister gave you 50 thousand dors, how can you speak of her like that... Instantly, Old Man Su became speechless, and he dared not say anything else as if he was worried that Shao Yibai became aware that he possessed this amount of money. Shao Yibai was so infuriated that he gritted his teeth. The man sneered, As a parent, your dereliction of duty is truly out of the norm! Initially, I wanted to thank you for raising her, looks like it was an unnecessary thought! Old Man Su was baffled. However, Little Darkie the Third who was beside him immediately pieced the puzzles together, and cried as she said, I get it now, youre the lover that my sister told me about... Shao Yibai was dumbstruck. His tall body could be seen trembling as he muttered softly, She told you about me? Mmm, wait here, second sister has something for you! Little Sanhei ran into the house, retrieved a diary, and passed it to Shao Yibai. This is second sisters diary. Before she left, she told me to pass this to you if you evere! Oh right, second sisters real name is Su Qingcheng... Su Qingcheng! Su Qingcheng! Shao Yibai hugged that thick diary close to his chest and cursed to himself repeatedly! You despicabledy, you even lied to me about your name! You cheated my feelings, and now youve disappeared, nowhere to be found... When Little Darkie the Third saw how sorrowful her brother-inw was, she was upset too. As she sobbed, Old Man Su was just dumbfounded. The d*mn girl even left a diary behind? Shao Yibai thanked the youngdy in a hoarse voice, then took a good look at the courtyard that Su Qingcheng lived in since she was young, which made his heart sank deeper. Once Shao Yibai returned to the hotel, he opened the diary and went on a trip down Su Qingchengs memoryne from the very beginning. From getting acquainted, to being friends, then falling in love atst. Shao Yibai read the delicate writing of the woman. I wish to spend the rest of my life with him and to stay with him and only him in this lifetime. Thank you, God, for letting us cross paths... The man who had never wept before burst out crying. For a tough military guy, he was so hurt that he felt as if his heart was hollowed out... * Capital City. The lights in Minghuang Club were dimly lit, where a few bewitchingdies were seen surrounding Shao Yibai. As intimate as they were to him, they dared not get too close. Recently, this prince of Shao Family became a regr customer and was always extravagant. Every time, he was either with the son of Zhang Family or the gentry of Li Family. They were usually apanied by a fewdies, who only had to drink a couple of drinks with them to get red packets of a few thousand dors. Unlike other lustful rich men, Mr. Shao was always courtly and cultured, such that he never took petty advantages of them. For a rich and attractive man like him, countless women desired to spend a night with him. Sadly, Mr. Shao was well known to only indulge in sensual pleasures, and never brought women home... Mr. Shao, you havent been visiting. Tell me, do you have a new sweetheart? Jiao Jiao leaned into Shao Yibai with a seductive look on her fair-skinned face. You really fit the name Jiao Jiao 1 ! Shao Yibai pinched her face. Since when did I look for another woman? Ive been very upiedtely, which is why I havent had the time toe. Look, once Im free, Im here! While the striking man was vaguely perverse, every twinkle and smile of his was simply captivating. As for the otherdies, they rolled their eyes as they found it intolerable. Everyone knew that Shao Yibai always called for Jiao Jiao during his visits! They made no sense of what was so outstanding about Jiao Jiao. Shao Yibai was the only one who knew that Jiao Jiaos eyes bore a resemnce to Su Qingcheng... Chapter 386 - She Would Spend Her Entire Life Watching Over One Person

Chapter 386: She Would Spend Her Entire Life Watching Over One Person

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Yibai, dont you think that you look very pathetic right now? The door that led to the private room swung open. The woman was dressed from head to toe in expensive garments. Her arrogant demeanor made her look like a queen. She nced at the man sitting on the sofa. He seemed cold and entirely emotionless. She furiously spat, You stink of sin and alcohol. Do you still remember that you were the high-rankingmander of the special forces unit? Has your military rank gone to the dogs? The other women in the private room were terribly frightened by this unexpected turn of events. They were too afraid to speak, so they simply stared at Shao Yibai with pale faces. In most situations, the women who barged in like this were either the first wives or beloved mistresses. This womans imposing manner clearly showed that she did not have a normal rtionship with Mr. Shao. The man hid in the shadows. His cold eyes werepletely devoid of emotions. He lit a cigarette and smoked in silence. His posture seemed elegant but conceited. The smoke whirled around his handsome and bewitching face. Wei Hongmian, what right do you have to care about me? Shao Yibais calm demeanor made the woman at the doorway even more furious. Wei Hongmian controlled her temper and nced at all the scantily d women. Shemanded in a low voice, Get out! As Jiao Jiao had always been Shao Yibais favorite, she was a bit more conceited and spoiled. The girls had not seen Shao Yibai for a long time. Their financial backer finally came today after much difficulty, but this woman had to ruin everything. She was secretly very annoyed. She rose from her seat and nced at Wei Hongmian. Her lips curled into a smirk before she snarled, Olddy, Im sorry, but isnt it wrong for you toe here and steal our business when youre so much older than us? Judging from the way she was dressed, Wei Hongmian did not work in the same profession as them, but she hade looking for Shao Yibai, so it was most likely that she was Mr. Shaos old me. Jiao Jiao had been through situations like this a lot of times at the brothel. She would usually take the initiative to strike the first blow and suppress the other partys drive. Olddy? Stealing their business? Wei Hongmian was so furious that her face nearly turned green! The other girl treated her as if she was one of the other prostitutes at the brothel... The beggars on the street and those scumbags wouldnt even nce at an olddy like you, much less Mr. Shao. Theyd have to force themselves to look at you even if you offered to sleep with them for free... Thwack! Wei Hongmian raised her hand and pped Jiao Jiao. She scoffed, You little b*tch, Ill kill you! Im from the Wei Family. Do you think that Id let you say those disgusting things to me? Jiao Jiao noticed Wei Hongmians imposing manner after she was struck. She realized that this woman was probably from an influential family. She had never of the Wei Family, but she knew that a normal prostitute would never mention their family background. She merely stood there as she was too afraid to burst out in anger. She gazed miserably at Shao Yibai. All of you can go downstairs. Ill pass your tips to the madamter. Go on, my darlings. Wei Hongmian blushed when she saw Shao Yibais bewitching smile. He raised his wine ss and took a sip after speaking. His gaze did not meet Wei Hongmians for even a second. Jiao Jiao covered the side of her face that was hit with her hand and left with the other girls. She gave Wei Hongmian a stern re before she left. Wei Hongmian woke up from her enraged stupor once the girls had left. She turned around and stared at Shao Yibai. Sadness welled up inside her heart. Shao Yibai, what have you be now? My actions dont concern you! Shao Yibais previously indifferent attitude had vanishedpletely. His voice was now terribly cold, and his gaze at Wei Hongmian was mocking. That woman has left, but you... There will never be an opportunity for any other woman to marry into the Shao Family in the future. You should just give up! said Shao Yibai mercilessly. Wei Hongmian seemed to grow hopeful once again ever since Su Qingcheng left. She constantly pestered Shao Yibai. Unfortunately, the hope that was ignited in Wei Hongmians heart extinguished when Shao Yibai rejected her again. Shao Yibai... Youre really heartless! Tears streamed down Wei Hongmians beautiful face. Her entire body trembled, and her eyes were filled with grief and indignation as she looked at Shao Yibai. Anyone else would feel sorry for her, but Shao Yibai waspletely unaffected. The man chuckled dryly. Thats right, Im heartless! I said that Id be faithful to her until the end, so Im going to spend my entire life waiting for that one person. If she doesnt return, Ill just remain like this! I was too serious before this, but Ive realized now that its fine to fool around. Wei Hongmian never imagined that Shao Yibai only would have eyes for that woman and her only. Despite knowing that she would never return, he had still reserved the position of Mrs. Shao for her... * Orphanage X, Luo Hai Half a year had passed since Su Qingcheng first volunteered here. The children loved her because she was beautiful and friendly. Su Qingcheng had a lot inmon with the children. She was just an orphan who happened to have parents. When she came to the orphanage today to give the children some food, she saw that the orphanage director and several middle-ageddies were huddled together and discussing something quietly. He wont survive even if we take him in. It looks like hes already two years old, but there must be something wrong with him. Hear how soft his cries are! Yes, this is the first time Ive seen a child with such a terribleplexion! Its so unfortunate. Hes such a beautiful child! Theres a letter here. Come quickly and read it... Apparently, the female janitor had discovered a boy standing at the entrance early in the morning. The sobbing child was wrapped in a nket and seemed to be around two years old. He could not even walk after crying for so long buried underneath his nket. Now he was sound asleep nestling in the arms of the orphanage director. The orphanage director hurriedly opened the envelope. Oh, this little boy suffers from heart disease. His parents abandoned him here because they cant afford his medical treatment! The orphanage director sighed when she finished reading the letter. There were several other children in the orphanage who were in the same predicament. As a welfare institution, the orphanage was fully responsible for their well-being now. Su Qingcheng walked over and looked at the child in the womans arms. His eyes were covered up by his feathery eyshes, and his little face was snow-white. Aside from the unnatural purplish-red shade of his lips, he was truly beautiful. For some reason, the most vulnerable part of Su Qingchengs heart stirred at the sight of the boy. She could have given birth to such a beautiful child if she had married Shao Yibai. Director Li, is it true that this child suffers from heart disease? Su Qingcheng was worried since she was unaware of the severity of this disease. Director Li nodded. His parents wrote in the letter that the valves in his heart are defective. The surgery would cost them about four hundred thousand, but theres a risk of failure. They stopped his treatment because of that... The orphanage director lowered her head and nced at the boy again. She heaved a sigh. We might have contacted the hospital if the cost was a little lower or if we had support from other organizations. Unfortunately, they needed several hundred thousand immediately. The orphanage has been facing financial difficulties these past few years. How is it possible for us to get so much financial aid in such a short span of time when weve taken in so many children like him? Su Qingcheng understood that half of the children in this orphanage were abandoned by their parents because of their physical deformities. Those who were suffering from conditions like cleft lips would receive financial assistance for their surgeries if they were lucky. However, heart surgeries would require a lump sum of four to five hundred thousand. This was truly a sky-high price. A thought suddenly shed in Su Qingchengs mind as she gazed at the sleeping child. Director Li, Ill pay for this childs surgery. Can I adopt him after hes gone through it? Director Li looked at Su Qingcheng in disbelief. Little Su, youre still single. How are you going to get married in the future if you adopt this child? A wry smile appeared on the corners of Su Qingchengs lips when she heard this. She would never get married again. Her heart had already belonged to someone whom she could never forget. She had already said that she would spend her entire life waiting for that one person... Chapter 387 - Speak of the Devil

Chapter 387: Speak of the Devil

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shao Jingshan gave Su Qingcheng one million yuan when she left Capital City. Despite the Shao Familys prestige, Su Qingcheng knew that one million yuan was not a meager amount to them. After all, they were not an aristocratic family that was currently in business. She did not have any n to use this money. She merely epted the money to put the master and mistress of the Shao Family at ease. When she left Capital City, she gave her parents five thousand yuan she had received from her internship. She did not have much more money aside from that. She was always hard pressed for money. She relied on doing casual jobs to get by in life when she came to Luo Hai. When she saw the child who had been abandoned by his parents today, Su Qingcheng felt that she could finally use that sum of money that she had set aside. Director Li decided not to stop Su Qingcheng when she noticed that the woman was determined to adopt this abandoned baby. That young woman had a pure heart and would be a good mother. Su Qingcheng informed Li Ji about the childs predicament and revealed that she nned to adopt him. Li Ji contacted the best cardiologist in Luo Hai through the connections he had had over the ce. Coincidentally, the doctor who operated on the boy was Yuan Tangshuo. It was just that Su Qingcheng had yet to cross paths with the Yuan Family at that time. Doctor Yuan was deeply moved by the childs unfortunate life when he had discovered his past. He subsidized half of the surgical fees. He even promised that the hospital would bear the cost of the childs recuperation after the surgery proved to be sessful. Su Qingcheng was pleasantly surprised. She used the remaining 20 million to get a pair of prosthetic legs for another girl in the orphanage who suffered from a congenital tibia defect. She also bought new bedding for the orphanage as well. The operation was scheduled to be done inte autumn. It was extremely sessful. The child recuperated for four months after the surgery and was taken home by Su Qingcheng after that. Since she was about to take him in, Su Qingcheng decided to name the child Su Shaoan. His name was Su Shaoan because she wanted to use her and Shao Yibaisst names. This baby was born into a miserable existence, but she hoped that he could live a peaceful life now. * Two yearster... Su Shaoan was already four years old. Time had passed in the blink of an eye. He grew up into a strong and healthy boy after the surgery and became the greatest source of motivation for Su Qingcheng. He was also the most important individual in her mind. Miao Hongs child was also over three years old now. The two women frequently went out together and brought their children so that they could y with each other. Xiaodai, I know that you asked Li Ji to help you ask about jobs. It seems like hes found something reliable. But I cant believe that you chose to join the criminal police department when you couldve gone on to be a young mistress in Capital City instead! said Miao Hong with a puzzled look on her face. Miao Hong had been unable to marry into the Li Family all this while. Though looking at the fact that she had given birth to a baby for Li Ji, regardless that it was a girl, it was still considered as the Li Familys flesh and blood. That was why Miao Hong was able to feed herself even if she was not working. It was not surprising that she could not understand Su Qingcheng. Unlike her, Su Qingcheng was in desperate need for a job to support herself. Ill need to work so that Ill have enough money to raise An An as he grows up. I cant always rely on the Shao Familys money since this child is someone Ive made the decision to adopt. Su Qingcheng had thought this out in detail. Miao Hong was very much in awe of Su Qingchengs ability to categorize everything in her world so clearly. Speaking of the Shao Family, Ive heard that... Miao Hong decided not to hide it anymore when she noticed that Su Qingcheng mentioned the Shao Family on her own. What do you want to tell me? Su Qingchengs thoughts were cut off then. To be honest, she had never forgotten Shao Yibai. A lump would always form in her throat when the word Shao was mentioned. Did you know that Shao Yibai is in Luo Hai? Miao Hong sighed when she saw that Su Qingchengs expression was changed drastically at once. Silly girl, why must you torture yourself when you havent given up on him? Now that you have An An, would it make any difference if the both of you raised him together? Why would it matter if you gave birth to him or not? Su Qingchengs quivering eyshes revealed the extremely conflicted feelings in her heart. The woman remained silent and simply stared at Miao Hong nkly. Hong, do you think that hell find me? Miao Hong was annoyed when she saw that Su Qingcheng looked terribly dejected. I hope that he sinks his ws into you and presses you against on the bed... Miao Hong always acted innocent and pure in front of Su Qingcheng, but she actually loved making dirty jokes. Su Qingcheng blushed and acted like she wanted to hit Miao Hong when she noticed that the other woman was behaving improperly. The two women argued for some time. Su Qingcheng let out a sigh once they had calmed down. It would be impossible for us to... How could we adopt a child together? Do you think that the Shao Family is just an ordinary family? Each of thest three generations only had one son. How could they willingly ept that their bloodline was going to be cut off from now on? Miao Hong always knew that Su Qingcheng was kind, but she never imagined that this beautiful young woman would take it to the extreme. Su Qingcheng only thought of other people all the time. Youre a silly girl. Why would God y tricks on you? Miao Hong was secretly dissatisfied. However, she knew that things like these could not be forced. The thoughts merely stirred in her heart as she felt sorry for the lovers. To her surprise, Su Qingcheng discovered the worlds fastest runner during thentern show three dayster. This was a valid example of the saying speak of the devil and he shall appear. It just so happened that Shao Yibai managed to catch hold of her while she was rescuing a victim of a crime during thentern show... Every time she decided to do something, a miraculous encounter would surely urred soon after that. How incredibly annoying! She decided to mind her own business in the future. Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai would certainly refuse to let her go now. He was bound to find her sooner orter. Her heart was filled with panic. She had no appetite during the next few days. She would be lying if she said that she waspletely unaffected when she saw that man. She wanted to see him, and it was not something she had known for just a day or two. Several hundred days and nights had passed, but she thought of Shao Yibai almost every day. She thought of Shao Yibai the most when she looked at Su Shaoan. That boy looked more and more like Shao Yibai with each passing day. Su Qingcheng could not help butment to God. She wondered if he was truly ying with her feelings by making her adopt a little boy who looked like that man... Li Ji had also heard that Shao Yibai became closer to the Yuan Family of Luo Hai ever since he came here. The Li Family was influential in Luo Hai, but they were no match for the Yuan Family there. The Old Master of the Shao Family had impressive military exploits. Meanwhile, Shao Yibai had retired, but the walls of his house were filled with the military badges that he hung up there. Any other family including the Li Family could not afford to offend him. Li Ji turned this matter over in his mind. He realized that a quarrel would no doubt ensue should Yibai discovered that he was sheltering his woman. Li Ji was born into an aristocratic family. He had learned to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of his decisions ever since he was a child. Before Shao Yibai paid him a visit, Li Ji decided to send someone over to give Shao Yibai some hints. In other words, Li Ji had sold Su Qingcheng out. Shao Yibai suppressed his rage this time. He did not do anything reckless. The woman threw him over her shoulder and escaped during thentern festival. It probably meant that she did not want to see him. His n would backfire if he forced her too much. What would he do if she ran away again? She was already in Luo Hai, and he was supposed to be here for some time as well. He would try to keep her in Luo Hai first until it was time for him to leave. It would not be toote if he whisked her away along with him after that. Shao Yibai loved the thrill of having to track someone down. Li Ji had found a job for Su Qingcheng while that woman had gotten herself caught up with Mu Chenyan. No matter what, it was impossible for her to flee from Luo Hai now. He never imagined that this thrilling adventure wouldst for almost half a year before he discovered Su Shaoans existence. This man could not remain calm anymore. He should have been happy to be a father, but he was upset instead! Su Qingcheng, I demand an exnation! The mans heart felt as free as a grassy field now. He had spent several years waiting miserably for this woman... Chapter 388 - The Man Gleefully Savored His First Victory

Chapter 388: The Man Gleefully Savored His First Victory

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng, I demand an exnation! The mans heart felt as free as a grassy field now. He had spent several years waiting miserably for this woman... The man seemed like he had endured for an excruciatingly long time. His heart was gued by various unpleasant feelings since the night Su Qingcheng took Mu Chenyan in and allowed her to stay at her ce. That was how Shao Yibai discovered Su Shaoans existence. He had drunk alcohol today. Whether Su Qingcheng was willing to see him or not, he had blocked off the entrance to her home to get an exnation from her. Shao Yibai was actually a good drinker. He could actually drink up a thousand cups of liquor without getting drunk. He had gotten drunk during the two years when he was fooling around in Capital City, but there were very few people who could get him intoxicated. He had drowned his sorrows in alcohol today. Su Qingcheng never expected that Su Shaoans existence would upset Shao Yibai so much. She allowed Shao Yibai to lean on her as she led him inside and poured him a cup of tea. Both of them looked straight at each other. The mans sharp gaze seemed like it could prate everything. Su Qingcheng could not hide from his unrelenting demeanor. Both of them had fought, slept together, experienced the most intimate things with each other, and remembered their past together during the days they had spent in Luo Hai. Su Qingchengs heart was not made of stone. When she was faced with the man she had once loved so deeply, she was worried that she would not be able to restrain herself and fall back into his arms again. The woman closed her eyes. In a trembling voice, she said, I told you before that Im married... The childs father... Su Qingcheng wanted to continue lying, but she was actually afraid of Shao Yibais persistence. I know that youre lying! I f*cking believed you when you told me this thest time, but Li Ji has exined everything to me. Stop using that innocent face to fool me! The man slouched on the sofa with the floral countryside pattern in Su Qingchengs house. He crossed his legs and cast a sidelong nce at the embarrassed woman. Will you believe me if I tell you that I adopted the boy? Li Ji had previously promised not to reveal An Ans origins to anyone else. He had kept his word on this matter. Su Qingcheng knew that it was impossible for her to hide this anymore. There had never been any misunderstandings between her and Shao Yibai. They had never spoken to each other in a roundabout manner. She did not want the truth about An An to be a thorn in Shao Yibais side. Shao Yibai seemed slightly reluctant to believe this. Deep down, he was hoping that the little boy was his own son. Su Shaoan really resembled Shao Yibai when he was younger. Although he knew that the possibility was extremely small, he still harbored some hope in his heart. He purposely took several strands of the boys hair to do a DNA test. He was very disappointed by the results because the boy was not his son. Nheless, he was slightly relieved to hear that the boy was adopted. He was not his son, but this could at least prove that Su Qingcheng was still his woman after all these years. He would not believe her lie about being married. Shao Yibai would kill any man who touched the woman he had slept with. Shao Yibais eyes lit up as though he had just glimpsed a ray of hope. Su Qingcheng hurriedly said, Big Brother Shao, you should stop thinking of me. Im living a happy life with this child now. Su Qingcheng was too afraid to meet Shao Yibais gaze. She continued, Im sure that you already know the reason why I left Capital City. It would be too selfish for us to get married. I wouldnt want the Shao Familys bloodline to end simply because of me... Shao Yibai pursed his thin lips tightly and narrowed his eyes. His expression showed that he did not care for what she had to say. His handsome face darkened further when Su Qingcheng mentioned that they needed to sever their ties with each other in the future. Would you believe me if I said that I didnt care? said Shao Yibai firmly. He realized that she was still using the fact that could not have children of their own as an excuse for them to not be together. Su Qingchengughed bitterly. Youd be an unfilial son if you deny your parents of grandchildren. You may not care, but your parents do! Childrene in many forms. When you raise them from when theyre young until theyve be an adult, they wouldve be your children whether theyre rted to you by blood or not. I didnt make this child, but Ill be his adopted father in the future! Shao Yibai thought about this from a different perspective. This was an opportunity for him to reveal his true intentions while on the topic of the kid. He had no qualms about adopting this child and making him his heir. Su Qingcheng was speechless. No matter what you say, that child still needs a father. I may have arrived out of the blue, but you should definitely allow me to fill that position immediately. Shao Yibai spoke sincerely. Su Qingcheng was at a loss. She wondered whether he was actually drunk or not. His mind seemed to be working soundly, and he had clearlye with a goal in his mind. It looked like he had note here simply to criticize her. Su Qingcheng felt as though she had fallen for his tricks. She had wanted to console him and make it clear to him that he should not involve himself in her life anymore. How did she wind up finding a father for her son? He had cornered Su Qingcheng. The man savored his first victory gleefully. His expression gradually rxed and looked more handsome. The man rose from the sofa and embraced Su Qingcheng. A smile hung on the corners of his lips. Ill take you back to Capital City once the matter with Yuan Xuan is settled. Our parents wont find out that this child isnt ours if we dont tell them. Hes so cute that our parents will probably love him very much once theyve seen him. Su Qingcheng was so stunned that she could not reply. She recalled the promise she had already made to Mr. and Mrs. Shao. What would they think if they saw her in Capital City again? Would they think that she got together with Shao Yibai again because she had finished spending the one million yuan that they gave her? A foreboding chill rose in the depths of Su Qingchengs heart. The Shao couple would probably be as equally disappointed to see her back in Capital City as they were hoping to see her pack and go in the beginning. She felt slightly regretful foring to Luo Hai. It had made her desire certain things. She would never have returned to Capital City if she had not seen Shao Yibai. Alright, you should return to Capital City first and tell your parents about this beforehand. After that, you can bring me and my son over... Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai would never let this matter go even if they continued to argue. She realized that it was better to please him. Shao Yibai was pleasantly surprised when he heard the warm tone in Su Qingchengs voice. He was obviously unaware that this was merely her strategy to buy time. After all, she had always been very much against the idea of going back before this. The man was satisfied after getting this bit of constion. They had previously shared a bed, but the woman refused to let him enter her house now. At least he had managed to make some progress this time as she had partially yielded. Xiaodai, please wait for me to return. Yuan Xuan needs me to go back to Capital City to work with him. You need to stay here and help him take care of Mu Chenyan. Once everything is over, Ill send someone from Capital City toe and get you. Su Qingcheng nodded. * Capital City Shao Yibai returned to fight alongside his father and suppressed Yuan Tangzhongs followers who were deployed to Capital City. The first piece of information that Yuan Xuan had provided Shao Yibai allowed him to instantly capture all of the criminals who had managed to slip away from the old incident in Xi Fan. As this mission was concerning national security, the higher authorities had supervised the investigation of this matter in secret. Once Shao Yibai had settled everything here, he discovered that they were about to take action in Luo Hai very soon. He rushed back to Luo Hai immediately. During the Yuan Familys banquet, he happened to watch Yuan Tangzhong suffer a terrible fall. The situation in Luo Hai underwent drastic changes. Capital City had removed the henchmen around Yuan Tangzhong silently amd caused the second son of the Yuan Family to suffer a crushing defeat. It would be impossible for him to turn the tides again. The incident at Xi Fan had finally been resolved at this point, and Yuan Tangbais soul in the afterlife could finally be at peace. The next step was to counter Mu Chenwu. Yuan Xuan had deployed troops for this matter long ago. The elite soldiers from Capital City that Shao Jingshan had allocated for him for this operation would give their full cooperation to him. Shao Yibai was very confident in this operation. Unfortunately, bad news arrived from Capital City at this time. Jiao Shuzhen wanted Shao Yibai to rush home because she was ill. Frankly, Jiao Shuzhen had been the one to handle the major and minor matters at home while Shao Jingshan was working outstation all these years. It was no surprise that she had finally sumbed to illness after all these years. Before Shao Yibai returned to Capital City, he repeated two things to Su Qingcheng. First, she needed to protect Mu Chenyan. Second, she had to wait for him to return. Shao Yibai only dared to return to Capital City when Su Qingcheng agreed to his demands entirely. He never expected that Su Qingcheng would break both of her promises to him. After cooperating with the search for Mu Chenyan when she went missing, she had submitted her resignation letter to Wu Huai on one sunny afternoon. Wu Huai could not understand this at all. He underestimated Su Qingcheng when the young woman came to the major crimes department, but he realized through her performance that she was brave and skillful in battle during theter stages. She was calm and quiet, literally a perfect candidate for the criminal police force. Wu Huai wondered why she decided to resign so suddenly. Little Su, did you find a better job? It was rare for Wu Huai to say things like these and poke his nose into other peoples business. The mans gloomy face was tinged with curiosity when he asked the question. He knew that she loved this job because he had seen it with his own eyes. Su Qingcheng gave a faint smile and murmured, No. I just want to leave Luo Hai for now Su Qingcheng handled the procedure to defer Su Shaoans studies. She packed some of their belongings and drove off on their journey. Su Qingcheng was rather shocked when Mu Chenyan left. Her heart was troubled for a long time. The two women had not known the other party for a long time, but they understood each other quite well. Mu Chenyan hesitated for a long time, but she finally left after recognizing the love she held in her heart. It was simr to when Su Qingcheng left Capital City. She did it not because she did not love him anymore, but it was because he had loved him too much and did not want to burden him. She was in the same situation right now. Jiao Shuzhen was rather shocked when she discovered that Shao Yibai encountered Su Qingcheng in Luo Hai by chance. She pretended to be sick so that Shao Yibai woulde home while she sent someone to contact Su Qingcheng. Miss Su, the mistress has promised to give you a nk cheque if you need more money. You can write any amount you want. The Shao Family will definitely honor it as long as they can afford it. The only condition is that you must leave Luo Hai, Miss Su... The attitude of thewyer wearing gold-rimmed sses was acting strictly businesslike. Su Qingcheng forced a smile. Attorney Liang, please tell Mrs. Shao that I was never the one who is in need of money. She doesnt need to bribe me to leave Shao Yibai because Ill do it on my own. I know that shes doing this to show that she loves her son, but I love Shao Yibai in my own way as well. As Liang Heng had worked as awyer in Capital City for many years, he had settled disputes on behalf of numerous aristocratic families. When Jiao Shuzhen sent him here, he initially assumed that he was going to fight a tough battle with this poor woman. He never imagined that this delicate and pretty woman before him was actually so iron-willed. Miss Su, since youre willingly given up on him, please dont appear in front of Mr. Shao ever again. Liang Heng was not convinced. He added, The Shao Family will help you erase your tracks once youve left Luo Hai. Su Qingcheng thanked him. The weather was a little chilly on the day she left Luo Hai. It resembled the weather on the day she first arrived there. Su Qingcheng nced at the grey sky and remembered her neen-year-old self loving that man despite knowing all the risks to it, but that version of herself seemed so far away from where she was right now. Mom, where are we going? Four-year-old Su Shaoan could already see through the emotions of adults. His mother had been in a bad mood ever since that strange man came to their house. Once they had packed their belongings, his mother drove in the southwest direction. Young An An had never seen the scenery they had passed throughout this journey before. Were going somewhere that isnt far away from Luo Hai. Some of the memories that I left behind are still there. Su Qingcheng smiled. She knew that her son would not understand what she meant by the memories that she left behind. However, she was certain that a person like herself who resembled a parasitic mistletoe nt could only survive in a city where Shao Yibai had left his mark. Chapter 389 - I Give Up. I Give Up This Time

Chapter 389: I Give Up. I Give Up This Time

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In Capital City... Shao Yibais expression was dark as he sat on the sofa in the living room and met his parents gazes with the indifference and cruelty of a miserable man. Within a few short years, he had changed from a kind-hearted and considerate man of steel into Capital Citys most popr yboy today. Shao Jingshan noticed this, but he protected his son without batting an eyelid. Shao Yibais eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was growing colder by the second. He was informed that Su Qingcheng had left Luo Hai with her son. She hadpletely vanished without a trace. This time, Shao Yibai did not search for her frantically as he previously did when she left Capital City. Instead, he sat quietly at home and spent the entire night smoking cigarettes. It seemed as though he had aged several years. Father, mother, I have something to say to you today. Shao Yibais voice was extremely hoarse. His gaze was strangely miserable and cold when he nced at his mother. Jiao Shuzhen sobbed. Shao Yibai had seen through her n to lure her enemy away from her territory long ago. However, her son did not fly into a terrible rage. On the contrary, he sat before his parents calmly. A bad feeling stirred in Jiao Shuzhens heart. She did not know what else to do beside crying to conceal her uneasiness. Yibai, your mother did this for your own good this time... When Shao Jingshan heard that Su Qingcheng had disappeared from Luo Hai, he knew that his wife had yed a part in this. The man sighed and continued defending his wife in front of his son. Father, Im not trying to criticize the both of you harshly. Shao Yibai interrupted his father. Nheless, his father was a fair man who would usually acknowledged it when his wife was either right or wrong. In terms of respectable men, Shao Yibai ranked his father at the top. Nevertheless, Shao Jingshan had forgotten that Shao Yibai was simr to him because he was his son. Shao Jingshan was bound to defend his wife. Likewise, Shao Yibai also wanted to spend his life loving and protecting someone else. Unfortunately, this right was stripped from him again. I wanted to tell both of you today that I wont get married and have a child for the rest of my life. I hope that youll respect my decision! Shao Yibais voice sounded dull and hollow, but he was actually iparably resolute. His gaze swept across Jiao Shuzhen. The woman burst into tears and wailed loudly, Yibai, you said that you werent angry with me, but youre doing this... If you refuse to get married for the rest of your life because of that woman, whats going to happen to the Shao Family in the future? Mother! There are many other things in life that are more important than getting married and having children, such as taking responsibility and being trustworthy. I told my lover that Id watch over her for the rest of my life. Ive only fallen in love once throughout my entire life. You kicked her out because she couldnt bear my children. Its impossible for me to fall in love with another woman. Thats why Ive decided that Ill never get married! Shao Yibais tone had never sounded this agonizing. He was very disappointed that Su Qingcheng hid herself from him, but he did not me her. After all, he had failed to protect her. When Jiao Shuzhen heard what her son said, she realized that she had shot herself in the foot again. Tears streamed down her face pitifully. Yibai, how can your mother be at ease if you spend the rest of your life as a lonely old man? Well, should I just marry someone that I dont love to make you happy while I make myself miserable? Shao Yibai seemed indifferent and distant when he got up from his seat. Without Su Qingcheng, the Shao Family will never have a young mistress! * At the bar... The man ordered several drinks on his own with misty eyes. He had not drank a lot of alcohol, but he was terribly drunk. He reyed the memories of his life throughout his mind. Suddenly, he realized that although he was blessed with many things, he lost a lot of them as well. In the end, he was left with absolutely nothing. He was all alone in the world. The woman who sat opposite him sighed quietly. Wei Hongmian had spent many years being entangled with him, but she never imagined that Shao Yibai would be so infatuated with that woman. She reached out and snatched the bottle of alcohol from Shao Yibai. The man was extremely amused by her annoyed expression. Wei Hongmian, are you done? Shao Yibai reached over and snatched the bottle from her. He nearly fell face down on the floor because of how unsteady he was. Wei Hongmian stretched her arms out and steadied him. She quietly rebuked, You havent given up yet? I give up! I give up this time... Shao Yibais smile was bewitching, but it also looked psychophatic. The rims of Wei Hongmians eyes were red. She sounded slightly emotional when she asked, Have you really given up? Yes! Shao Yibai nodded. His handsome face was slightly flushed. Since Ive given up on women, Ill never find any of them attractive ever again. I wont let them get close to me... Wei Hongmian was terribly shocked when she heard this. Shao Yibai was enjoying his life before this. Although she felt that his behavior was improper, she still admitted that he had a vivid personality. Perhaps they could ride out the storm together if she pulled him back to the right path. However, it seemed like the mans soul had left his body. He was terribly lethargic. Her entire body trembled as she stared at this unfamiliar man she once knew very well. Sadness welled up inside her at the sight of him like this. After a long pause, Wei Hongmian murmured, Shao Yibai, you should go and look for Miss Su if youre so besotted with her... What difference would it make if I went looking for her? Shes so stubborn... As long as we cant make an heir... Shell refuse to stay... The burdens in her heart... Theyre too heavy... Shao Yibai stammered. It sounded like he was choking back sobs. Wei Hongmians body continued to tremble. She debated whether she should speak or not. Finally, her face was filled with remorse as she opened her mouth and muttered, Yibai, about your premarital health examination report, I... I did something to it... Wei Hongmian noticed that the mans bright eyes were filled with burning rage when he raised his head abrptly. She was so afraid of him she could not continue her speech. Shao Yibai resembled a demon when he gritted his teeth and demanded, What did you say? I was madly in love with you at that time, so I bribed the doctor who did the premarital health examination... I didnt know that you were so infatuated with her... Wei Hongmian sobbed noisily, but Shao Yibai did not pity her at all. He leaped up from his seat. Youre a selfish woman! Xiaodai was so kind. How could you... Chapter 390 - Catfight

Chapter 390: Catfight

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Shao Family was one of the most influential families in Capital City, but Wei Hongmians father used to be Shao Jingshans chief. The doctors were willing to risk offending the Shao Family for Wei Hongmian when she wanted to mess with the results after weighing the advantages and disadvantages of their actions. In the end, they agreed to Wei Hongmians request. Shao Yibai realized that Wei Hongmians wrong decision during a moment of weakness caused him and Su Qingcheng to lose many years together. He was particrly upset because his lover was so devastated that she repeatedly ran away from him His heart was filled with gloom. When Shao Yibai got up and left, his bodyguards in in clothes went out as well. The air in Capital City was terribly chilly in December. The north winds howled angrily and prated peoples skin. The man briefly staggered in the snow before he fell head first on the green belt beside the road. His bodyguard hurriedly rushed over and picked him up, but Shao Yibai was already in a half-awake and dazed state. Xiaodai, where are you... * In Yan Zhou... The scorching sun hang right in the sky, and the rays of sunshine were zing down on earth. This was the longest dry spell that she had experienced ever since she first arrived in Yan Zhou three years ago. Every single creature shriveled up its body in the afternoon on this hot summers day. You could almost hear the sizzling sound of their skin being roasted... Miss Su, pleasee to the school. Little Su Shaoan fought with his friends. Su Qingchengs warm mood turned cold when she received a phone call from Su Shaoans ss teacher. This was the third phone call she had received this month. Su Shaoan was already a second grader in elementary school, but he could not get rid of his bad habit of constantly getting into fights. The number of times she was getting called to school because his son had fought with the other kids in school was getting more and more frequent. It gave her headaches just thinking about it. She had opened a martial arts training center in Yan Zhou that taught children and teenagers wushu and fistfighting. Su Shaoans martial arts skills were naturally superior to the other kids since he grew up by Su Qingchengs side. The children whom he fought were being defeated left and right, and their parents naturally refused to let him off easily. The boys who were beaten up today were three children who were in higher grades. Their faces were dusted with bruises while the corner of one boys uniform was also torn. Su Shaoans clothes were slightly dusty, but he was fine. The stubborn expression on his little face annoyed one of the other parents. Youre his mother, but why dont you know how to educate your child? Look at how hes beaten up my son! The forty-year-old middle-aged woman spoke loudly in Yan Zhous local dialect. She pointed at Su Qingcheng and kicked up a big fuss in Miss Zhangs office. The other two parents were also acting very impulsively. The words they said were harsh and upsetting. That child was raised by his mother, but she obviously never taught him anything. Why dont you ask around in Yan Zhou and find out if the Hu Family are the kind of people you can just bully as you please? Well give you two options since your son has hurt our children so badly. You can either let our children beat him up in return or you can pay for their hospital bills and have your son kicked out of this school. Su Qingcheng remained calm as she assessed the situation. She ignored the other three parents causing a scene and turned to the teacher instead. She asked in a drawn-out manner, Miss Zhang, can you please tell me what happened? Miss Zhang knew that Su Shaoan came from a single parent household. This child was usually very polite in school. He was just a little cold and aloof toward the other students. The older students got beaten up when they ran to the entrance of the second-grade ssroom and provoked Su Shaoan. The other adults were clearly aware of the actual situation. However, Miss Zhang was rather afraid of one pair of parents because they were infamous for being local tyrants in the vige. If she helped Su Shaoan this time, there was a chance that those parents would use their connections to get her into trouble. Miss Su, your son Shaoan hit the other children. In my opinion, you should pay for their hospital bills right away to resolve this matter... Miss Zhang! Su Qingcheng could not suppress the rage in her heart anymore when she heard her tone. Su Shaoan who was next to his mother watched as her expression worsened. He moved his little body closer to hers. Su Qingcheng noticed the fear spreading throughout her young childs face when she lowered her head and looked at him. She lowered her voice and continued, Id like to resolve this issue, but it depends on what happened. Her gaze was sharp and vicious when she turned around and nced at the three arrogant and ruthless parents. She said, If Su Shaoan hit your children intentionally, Id obviously teach him a good lesson. However, I need someone to exin to me why all three of them were ganging up on him. Worse still, they were all older than Su Shaoan. What was going on? The three parents exchanged nces, but none of them spoke first. Deep down, they had a clear idea of what their own children were like. It was also true that their children were older than that boy. Su Qingchengs stance was still oppressive. Her beautiful face was bright red from the fury she was suppressing. The three parents felt as though she was provoking them. It looked like they were having a hard time getting rid of their own anger as well as they red at Su Qingcheng. Su Qingchengs voice sounded hoarse from the effort of restraining herself. Youre ming us because your children lost the fight. Thats why youre making a huge scene here. But Id like to ask a question: who would I need to seek to get justice if your children won today? The most arrogant parent who was the forty-year-old woman spoke first. She was unable to suppress her anger any longer, so she pulled her son over and pointed at Su Shaoan. Tell us then. Why would our sons fight with that little brat for no reason if there was nothing wrong in the first ce? The little boy became bolder because his mother was protecting him. He did not hold himself back as he inched closer to Su Shaoan. Su Qingcheng shielded Su Shaoan with her body by standing in front of him. She lowered her head and smirked. Turning to Su Shaoan, she asked, An An, can you tell me why you hit them? Su Shaoansplexion turned red before returning to its natural colors. Momentster, he gradually rxed his tightly knitted eyebrows. The boy lowered his head and muttered, They said that... I didnt have a father... They called me a b*stard... Su Qingcheng shuddered. The hand she had on her sons shoulder tightened. Her son did not know the full meaning of the word b*stard because he was still young, but he knew that it was an insulting term. My son, you fought well! Su Qingcheng smiled. She said, That doesnt mean that Im encouraging your actions, but you should make a move against someone when they are bullying you. Su Shaoans eyes lit up, and his pouty lips stretched into a smile. Mom, was my martial arts skills alright? Those big dummies thought that they could bully me. Miss Zhangs perspectives of life were thrown into a state of confusion when she heard the conversation between the mother and her son. The other three mothers who were present were bothered by this. What kind of mother would encourage her son to fight? What kind of woman are you to say these things? Well help you educate your son if you cant do it on your own... What do you mean by that? My son would never call another child a b*stard! Su Qingcheng straightened her back. Her imposing aura was honed by numerous years of martial arts training. The pressure made it rather difficult for the other parties to catch their breath. The first parent took a step back. She pointed her fat finger that was adorned with a gold ring at Su Qingchengs nose and yelled, A sly young woman like you is definitely bad news. You gave birth to that little b*stard... Yes, I agree. You mustve slept with a rich man to be able to open such a massive martial arts institution in Yan Zhou. I wonder who it was... Despite being in the presence of their children and the teacher, the three women started spouting nonsense incessantly. Su Qingcheng sneered and spat, All three of your children were no match for Su Shaoan. You can only imagine how strong his mother must be. Since you cant keep your mouths shut, I dont mind stepping in for the childrens grandmothers and teaching all of you a lesson! The three women became fearful when they noticed the murderous glint that had shed across Su Qingchengs bloodthirsty gaze. They turned to Miss Zhang for help and shouted, Miss Zhang, look at this. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. Weve only had a few words in, but shes already resorting to violence. Tell her that we have people backing us up! Miss Zhang had no idea what to do with this situation since a while ago. When she saw the how murderous Su Qingcheng looked, she hurriedly stepped forward to be the peacemaker. Miss Su, please dont be rash. Lets talk about it properly. Su Qingcheng gave a quick and sarcastic sh of a smile. It was them who had refused to discuss this matter reasonably in the first ce! Miss Zhang pulled Su Qingcheng aside and whispered, There are higher authorities in that family while youre just a single mother who has adopted an orphan. It would be better for you if you didnt upset them... Su Qingcheng had guessed from the beginning that the situation would end up like this. She smiled at Miss Zhang and said, Im not going to cause any trouble for you as their teacher. However, itll be impossible for Su Shaoan to remain in this school after this if we let them have their way today. After all, if an educator like yourself thinks that we should merely swallow our anger and bear with it, everyone else will think so as well! Growing up, Su Qingcheng was always the most obedient child in her family. That was why she was entirely aware that the most obedient child would not necessarily have the brightest future. Miss Zhang felt embarrassed after hearing Su Qingchengs criticism. She nced at the other three parents and sighed. She said to Su Qingcheng, Well, what do you want to do? Su Qingcheng said with a smile, I want them to admit that its their fault! Admit that it was their fault? The three women exchanged nces among themselves. The first woman stepped forward and snarled, Are you saying that you want our sons to get beaten up for nothing? Su Qingcheng smirked and looked at the three children from higher grades. She said in a calm manner, Boys, before you fight, you shouldve realized that there are only ever going to be two kinds of consequences. You would either win or lose the fight! Since youve failed to beat your opponent, you have two choices. For the first option, you can learn martial arts. Ill give you a twenty percent discount at my Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Center. As for the second option, you should stop fighting and control your mouth and hands instead! Upon saying this, Su Qingcheng took out several business cards and stuffed them into the first childs hand. The address of the martial arts center is written on the cards. Youre always wee toe! She pulled Su Shaoans arm and walked out of the office without turning back. The others were momentarily stunned and did not react in time. They merely suffered in silence as they were too afraid to step forward and stop her. The first parent said with gritted teeth, Ill get Bureau Chief Li to seal your institutionter! Su Qingcheng was obviously not afraid of having her institution closed down. Her martial arts training center had all five certificates in order. Their firefighting equipment was also the most advanced, and the business had already been certified. Speaking of which, Chief Zhang Han from Yan Zhous militarypound was actually the one who had assisted her... When Zhang Han discovered that the Little Su whom he knew from the past was actually a girl, he managed to guess that she was in a rtionship with Shao Yibai as well. He even assumed that Su Shaoan was Shao Yibais son... Su Shaoans face was filled with joy on the way home. After all, children could never conceal their true feelings. Unfortunately, Su Qingcheng had fallen into a deep state of anxiety now. It would certainly be bad for Su Shaoans growth if situations like this persisted. She turned this matter over in her mind, but she did not know what to do. Little boys needed to spend time with their fathers, but she could never ept another man. Shao Yibais figure was the only one that appeared in Su Qingchengs mind when she thought of men. She did not have many connections in Capital City, but Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai was still single after all these years... Su Qingcheng made a simple dinner for her son once they were home. After that, she turned on herputer. This was the first time that she had logged onto the QQ website after many years. She had stopped contacting Mu Chenyan and Miao Hong, but they were still friends on QQ. Su Qingcheng was briefly informed about Mu Chenyans return to Luo Hai. She saw that the pair had finally ended up together after facing various trials and tribtions. Su Qingcheng was extremely happy for them. She clicked on Mu Chenyans profile and saw the news about her second pregnancy. Suddenly, an indescribable pain stirred in her heart. If she could have Shao Yibais baby, neither of them would need to suffer... The years when she was twenty to twenty-eight years old were supposed to be the most important years of her life. Unfortunately, she had spent most of them running and hiding. Chapter 391 - Superb Smile

Chapter 391: Superb Smile

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Mu Chenyan rarely went online ever since she got pregnant with her second baby. She would only go online when she wanted to have a video call with Yuan Tian who was far away overseas. It was much morefortable video chatting using herptop than her phone. That was why she would go online at a certain point of time. She never expected that she would see ament from Su Qingcheng when she logged onto the QQ website today. Mu Chenyan had posted a picture of her ultrasound scan on her profile. The woman who had disappeared for a long timemented with a smiley face emoji and wrote, Congrattions, Chenyan. I miss you very much! Mu Chenyan was extremely happy and excited. She shouted, Yuan Xuan,e here quickly. Chef Yuan wiped his hands and rushed out of the kitchen when he heard his wife yelling for him. The mans handsome face still looked the same as before. His distinctly angr and sharp features made him look cold. This man was blessed enough to get the chance to enjoy fatherhood for the second time. He beamed like a proud father with every move he made. It waspletely apparent. Whats wrong? Yuan Xuans voice was deep and raspy as he held Mu Chenyans shoulders. Mu Chenyan pointed at thement on her profile in excitement. When Yuan Xuan saw thementers name was Superb Smile, he understood everything at once. Is that Su Qingcheng? Mu Chenyan nodded right away. She changed her cell phone number and isnt using her original WeChat ount anymore, but shes been using her QQ ount all along. She probably left thisment when she went online. Yuan Xuan straightened up. A dull glimmer shed across his dark eyes as he took his cell phone and dialed Yan Juns number. Su Qingcheng logged onto her QQ ount two hours ago. Go and search for the address where she had logged on. Ill send you the original message. Yan Jun knew that this matter had something to do with Mr. Shao when he received the order. He hurriedly gathered the hackers and told them to get to work. In less than half an hour, they had discovered that she had logged on from Yan Zhou. * Mu Chenyan was still pretending to be Guo Jingzes wife in City A when Su Qingcheng left Luo Hai. Both women had quickly gotten new phone numbers and WeChat ounts to escape from their jilted lovers who were chasing after them. They had decided to sever all previous forms ofmunication with each other. They did note into contact with the other party at all during those two to three years. Their only remaining way of contacting each other was through QQ. Today, Su Qingcheng left ament on Mu Chenyans post without thinking much about it because she had merely felt nostalgic. She felt rather depressed when she went offline, so she stayed in the study room and wrote an entry to her diary. She had not lost her habit of writing her diary by hand after so many years. She left her first diary behind for Shao Yibai, and that was when it all started. She must write a few lines in her diary every day once her son was asleep. Sometimes she would write about the things she had realized about life. Most of the time, she wrote about her feelings for Shao Yibai. The woman took a shower after writing her diary, but she was unable to sleep. It was alreadyte. A light breeze rose and blew in this summer night. Su Qingcheng went out to the balcony and drank a bottle of beer. She was not a good drinker. She had only drunk with Shao Yibai in Capital City before, and he would always take advantage of her every time she drank too much. She was very obedient at that time. One look from Shao Yibai was enough to make her spread her slim legs. She matured with each passing year after she fled to Luo Hai. She fought with Shao Yibai, but she slept with him as well. She did not shy away from anything, including hurting him, just to get away from that man. Right now, he was in Capital City while she was in Yan Zhou. Su Qingchengughed at herself in her mind. It was impossible for her to escape from the maze that Shao Yibai had built around her. She had initiallye to Yan Zhou because this was the ce where their love had first blossomed. Back then, she had fallen in love with her instructor with the enthusiasm of a teenage girl and without caring about anything else... * The local people in Yan Zhou preferred to refer to Su Qingchengs Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Club as a martial arts center. Yan Zhou was a small city that was located near the border. She merely worked at this ce as a temporary martial arts coach when she first arrived here. The little children adored her because she was beautiful and gentle. She earned more money when she taught more sses. As it was the school holidays at that time, Su Qingcheng brought Su Shaoan with her so that she could teach more sses. He would learn with the other children during their sses. Now he had ended up causing trouble using the martial arts skills that he had mastered... In the end, Su Qingcheng decided to be a stockholder and own half of the club. The original owner spent several years in Yan Zhou before migrating overseas. He sold the remaining shares to Su Qingcheng at a low price. The training center that was rather well-known in Yan Zhou became Su Qingchengs property after that. There were about twenty to thirty people who were employed there. Some of them were retired soldiers while others were lonely people like her who had no one else to depend on. The club was busiest during the summer and winter holidays, but children would usuallye and attend the sses on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Right now, Su Qingcheng did not n to teach many sses. Her main aim was to take care of Su Shaoan and make it convenient for herself to manage the business. Today, little Su Shaoan looked at her with his glistening doe-like eyes as he put himself among a group of older boys and girls who were almost a foot taller than him to sit for her mothers lesson. Su Qingcheng shot a nce at him but remained silent. She had taught the students in this ss for almost three years, but they were still learning basic fistfighting because they did not practice daily. To be honest, Su Shaoans stamina and skills were superior to theirs. Su Qingcheng told the children to do their warm-up practices first. After that, they would do boxing and blocking for about half an hour before doing jiu-jitsu training for another thirty minutes. Su Shaoan underwent heart surgery when he was younger. Su Qingcheng had been too afraid to allow him to attend the training at first. However, she had never expected that his body would be fine after following their sessions for some time. Moreover, he had be even stronger than before. Su Qingcheng never stopped him from attending her lessons after that. After the recent fight at school, the little boy ensured that he would be on his best behavior today. His attitude was extremely cooperative, and he was very meticulous during the training session. Su Qingcheng walked up next to him. There was a charming smile on his face when he said, Mom... Call me Miss Su! Su Qingcheng did not care about giving him face at all. Little Su Shaoan kept quiet immediately. He exerted more force in his little fists as he waved them around. Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him. He would still need to attend school on Monday. Nheless, it would be less likely for him to get into trouble if he vented out his anger during these two days. On Monday, Su Qingcheng woke up early in the morning and made breakfast for Su Shaoan. After his meal, Su Shaoan went to school refreshed and with a full stomach. Su Qingcheng thought about reminding him about certain things again, but she realized that it was unnecessary. It would be somewhat unfair to him. Su Qingcheng would not approve it if he merely stood back and allowed other children to hit him. Mom, can we go and eat spicy hot pot for lunch after you pick me up from school today? Su Shaoan was not very friendly toward other people, but he knew how to pander to his mother. Su Qingchengs face grew stern. Its bad for little children to eat spicy food all the time. Im eating it to spend time with my mom. Su Shaoan smiled, trying his best to butter her up. Su Qingchengs heart warmed up. She ruffled her sons hair and replied happily, Alright, well discuss thister once youre done with school. The mother and son spent some time together before Su Shaoan set his mind at rest and entered the schoolyard. In the afternoon, Su Qingcheng put on some light makeup beforehand when she recalled her sons suggestion about going out to eat. Su Shaoan was slightly conceited. He would be delighted for a long time if his ssmatesplimented his mother on her beauty when she attended his parent-teacher meetings. Su Qingcheng put in some effort when she applied her makeup today so that she could give her son some face. She wore a light blue sleeveless long dress that highlighted her beautiful figure and her snow-white skin. She tried on her high-heels that she had not worn in a long time. Now that she was older, she exuded a more mature type of beauty. Although she did not constantly look at herself in the mirror, she knew that she was getting more beautiful. Despite that, she felt that her reflection looked rather stunning when she looked at herself in the mirror. She muttered to herself, It would look better if I wore high heels... Su Qingcheng grabbed her beige-colored handbag and looked at her watch. sses were almost over, so she decided to leave and drive to school then She waited at the entrance for some time. All of Su Shaoans ssmates had left, but she had not seen any sign of that little boy. Su Qingcheng began to grow anxious. Had the teacher forced him to stay back because he caused trouble again? She dialed Miss Zhangs cell phone number. The teacher was very shocked. Miss Su, Su Shaoans father came in the afternoon to pick your son up. Didnt you know that? Su Qingcheng was instantly stunned. His father? What father? Miss Zhang was little afraid. She stammered, He said that he was Su Shaoans father. He was a... A handsome man who spoke with an ent from the capital... A buzzing noise filled Su Qingchengs head. Her tone sounded rather desperate when she said, How could you let my son leave with someone else without getting my permission? Miss Zhang was extremely frightened now. She said tearfully, Your son said that he knew him, and that man had a family picture with all three of you in it. I really thought that he was his father. Miss Su, if there are problems in your family, please take your time and fix them. I think that the boy and his father are very close. It would be rather extreme if you kept refusing to let him see his son. This will be troublesome for your child when he grows up as well... Su Qingcheng was at a loss for words. How was that relevant to anything? Chapter 392 - You Have Always Known What I Wanted to Do

Chapter 392: You Have Always Known What I Wanted to Do

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Su Qingcheng had overlooked the important information that Miss Zhang had mentioned moments ago because she was busy panicking. She hung up the phone and calmed her mind. Only then did she realize that the person who had whisked Su Shaoan away was a handsome man who spoke with an ent from the Capital. An An knew this man as well. Was it really Shao Yibai? Su Qingcheng could not help herself from bing extremely anxious when she thought of that name. After turning the matter over in her head for quite some time, she was almost certain that he was the man. Su Qingcheng did not know how Shao Yibai had found her in Yan Zhou, but he was the only person who fit the teachers description. Su Qingcheng could not think of anyone else. Su Shaoan had been a vignt child ever since he was young. He would never leave with a stranger. During their final moments in Luo Hai, Shao Yibai decided to take up the role as the childs adoptive father. He was very close to Su Shaoan during that period of time. Su Shaoan had alwayscked fatherly love. Shao Yibai had managed to win Su Shaoans heart at that time because he was handsome, confident, gentle, and good with children. Su Shaoan still thought of Shao Yibai after they left Luo Hai. He had mentioned Shao Yibai in subtle ways in front of his mother many times. The little brat had probably flung himself into his arms without any integrity when they met again. As for the family photo with all three of them, Su Qingcheng had every reason to believe that it was merely a photo of Su Shaoan and Shao Yibai that she waster Photoshopped into... Su Qingcheng ced her hand on her forehead. She was terribly annoyed. Her own son whom she had raised had been merely living off of her while running into another pair of arms. The most urgent matter right now was to find Su Shaoan. Su Qingcheng had changed her cell phone number, but that man had not. She knew his phone number by heart. Su Qingchengs little hand trembled as she held her phone in her hand. Her heart could not stop thumping wildly. The mans voice sounded hazy, raspy, and electrifying when he picked up the phone. Xiaodai? Su Qingchengs heart stopped beating for a moment. Shao Yibai, I... If you want your son back,e and find me. Ill send you the address. The man spoke in a mild-mannered tone, but he could not hide his domineering manner. He would not allow her to decline. The other party had already hung up the phone before Su Qingcheng could ask more about what had happened. He did not give her any time to think. Su Qingcheng was perplexed as she held her phone in her hand. She had no idea what Shao Yibai was doing. She had hidden while he remained in broad daylight, but the situation had reversed itself in just one day. It seemed as if he had had control over everything. Three minutester, she returned to her senses when the notification alert for an iing message sounded on her phone. Shao Yibai had sent her the address of the only hotel in Yan Zhou with a starred ranking... Su Qingcheng gritted her teeth. It looked like this man had really chased her all the way to Yan Zhou. She wondered what she had done wrong. Zhang Han would not sell her out because she had already exined everything to him. On the other hand, Su Shaoan did not have any weapons or methods to betray her and help the enemy even if he wanted to. How could he have contacted Shao Yibai? Su Qingcheng was clearly unaware that a randomment that she had left ended up exposing her location. She drove toward the west. Deep down, she was nervous but also extremely excited. She had spent three years running around in circles, but she had failed to escape that mans grasp. She wondered if this meant that their destinies were still intertwined. Numerous possible meetings had shed in Su Qingchengs mind, but she felt a little nervous now that it was actually happening before her eyes. The young parking attendant at the hotels front desk took Su Qingchengs car away. The woman wore high-heels, but her footsteps were so frantic that she nearly sprained her ankle when she was dashing into the elevator. She only managed to calm herself down with great difficulty. The elevators doors finally opened after that. Su Qingcheng had yet to think of what to say to Shao Yibai when they met, but the mans face had already entered her line of sight. His striking features made him seem both innocent and bewitching. The man seemed much moreposed now that he had been through years after years of hardships. The corners of Shao Yibais mouth stretched into a smile. He seemed arrogant and aloof. Su Qingcheng had just walked out of the elevator. Before she could even speak, the man had grabbed her and cornered her against the wall. Su Qingcheng was extremely anxious. She tried to push Shao Yibais body away that was inching closer to her by the second. Her voice trembled when she said, What are you doing? Wheres my son? Do you want your son back? Shao Yibais voice was hoarse as his Adams apple bobbed. His gaze did not leave Su Qingcheng for a second. Both of their bodies were pressed tightly against each other without any gaps in between. Shao Yibai ced his forehead against the top of Su Qingchengs head. Every time he breathed, warm air would spread around her... Shao Yibai! What are you doing... Su Qingcheng was terribly anxious. Her watery ck doe-like eyes made her seemed like an innocent young girl. Shao Yibai did not know how she still managed to look like this after eight years had passed. He restrained his emotions. His deep raspy voice was right next to her ear when he said, Youve always known what I wanted to do. If you want your son back, youll have to please me! His dark silhouette came pressing down. He seemed unusually aggressive when he pouted his red lips now. The man swallowed Su Qingchengs dull moan in full. There were surveince cameras and passersby in the corridor here... The final sliver of rationality that shed across Su Qingchengs mind was thinking of those things. However, her thoughts drifted along with the mansrge hands as they wandered around her body the next second. The zipper of the light blue dress that she wore was at the back. The mans big hands had already groped around and reached for it as he was taking her breath away. He would probably have torn this dress to shreds long ago if they were not in the corridor... Su Qingcheng felt as though the oxygen supply had been cut off from her brain when they kissed. Before she could even reflect on how she had fallen into his arms right after they met, Shao Yibai had already pressed her against the king-sized bed in the hotel room. Her smooth and supple skin was exposed to the air as her dress fell to the floor. Shao Yibai... Listen to me... Su Qingchengs sense of reason slowly faded away when Shao Yibais little teeth pinched her back and made her feel a piercing pain. She could not see the crazed expression on Shao Yibais face as her back was turned to him. She could only feel the force of his lips and the frantic movements of hisrge hands. This made her even more frightened. Dont say anything. I just want to do this! Shao Yibai was breathing heavily. He was using his lips to mark his territory. A red streak appeared on Su Qingchengs skin as he nibbled it. Shao Yibai... Ah! Su Qingcheng was trying to suppress her soft cries, but a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of the mans lips... Censored 1 The hotel room was sound-proof, but Su Qingcheng was still too afraid to yell out loud. Shao Yibai became more aggressive when she acted like that though... Su Qingcheng had stronger stamina than the average person, but there were moments when it was physically impossible for her to keep up with him. Since she could not see the intoxicated expression on his face, she could merely endure his forceful actions. This filled her with a stifling and fearful feeling. She had not seen Shao Yibai for many years, but she could not understand why they had tomunicate with each other in this manner when they met. Were they not supposed to talk about the weather in Capital City or whether Tian Qi was doing well in Luo Hai? Su Qingcheng only understoodter that this man was using his body to tell her that he missed her very much. Xiaodai! Hmm? The woman waspletely exhausted. She seemed as obedient and adorable as she used to before when she copsed in hisp. You can never leave me again! Otherwise, Ill make you so tired that you cant get off the bed. That way, you wont have any strength left to run away! Su Qingchengs heart trembled. She did not dare to promise that she would not run away. Shao Yibai had seemingly read her mind. The man murmured, Ill make you pregnant with my baby, but youll have to cooperate with me during this process. Su Qingcheng was at a loss. She foolishly asked, How should I cooperate with you? Could it be that a miraculous drug that could modify gics and alter chromosomes existed now? Shao Yibai looked at the woman in his arms. He had left traces all over her snow-white skin. He could not help but smile when she looked at him with that cute and naive face. Youll just have to spread your legs properly! The man turned over and pressed his body mercilessly on top of hers again as he said this... Chapter 394 - I’ve Also Longed For This Day, For Many Years Already…

Chapter 394: Ive Also Longed For This Day, For Many Years Already...

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was no point in dwelling on this issue any further. Su Qingcheng quickly sold her properties in the Yan State. Someone from the Capital City had been sent to pick both of them up. Shao Yibai kept his words and did not allow Su Qingcheng to meet An An from the beginning to the end. When they returned to Capital City, the Shao family had already prepared a newlywed house waiting for the bride to move in. Jiao Shuzhens attitude was also extremely enthusiastic, and Shao Jingshan had even sent a chef to take care of her daily diet. Su Qingcheng was not used to it, and she was a little overwhelmed with ttery. Shao Yibai were off during the weekends, so he wanted to bring her to buy clothes. I have enough clothes. Besides, Ive gained weight recently, so lets wait until Ive slimmed down before buying. Su Qingcheng wanted to refuse, but it seemed like Shao Yibai did not understand her words. He dragged her out as he wished, and she did not even have time to put on makeup. The car moved at full speed up until they arrived at a huge wedding dress chain organization. Only then did Su Qingcheng realized that Shao Yibai was talking about wedding dresses. The servicedy sounded very eager, and it seemed like she knew Shao Yibai. Mr. Shao, pleasee in! Lets see if you like our wedding dress theme this season. She brought Shao Yibai and Su Qingcheng to the VIP area as she spoke. After pouring a drink for the two of them, the servicedy looked at Su Qingcheng politely and smiled gently. Mr. Shao, your wife is really beautiful. Although she did not put on any makeup, she has very nice features that suit the theme for this season. Shao Yibai seemed to be very happy when someone praised his beautiful wife. The corner of his lips curled up, and he could not suppress how proud he was. Bring me the album and let me have a look. The theme of this season was the starry sky, so all the wedding dresses looked airy and flowy but not extravagant. All the essories were simple. There were norge-sized diamonds in sight, yet the dresses still seemed very elegant. After going through the album once, Su Qingcheng had already found a couple of designs that she liked. Even though she did not say anything, she secretly liked them very much. Shao Yibai was choosing very seriously. With holographic imaging technology, they could simte the effect of wearing the wedding dresses without needing to go through the tedious process of undressing. Su Qingcheng and Shao Yibai went on choosing for a long time. After going through the few designs that they had picked, they finally came down to just two designs, one in Western style and one in Chinese style. In addition to the main wedding dress, they still had to choose a guest-greeting dress and a wine toasting dress. Therefore, Shao Yibai took Su Qingcheng to a few more stores. Fortunately, the two of them were not particrly picky, so they managed to settle everything in one day. The only thing left to do was to wait for the dresses to be made so that she could try it on. Shao Yibai was driving the car, and Su Qingcheng could not help but ask on their way back, Why does it seem like youre so familiar with the people in these stores? Before you came back, I often visited the stores! Shao Yibai said. Then, he paused and turned to look at Su Qingcheng affectionately. He knew that she would not understand why he visited the stores for nothing, so he continued, Ive always fantasized that I would bring you there one day. Su Qingcheng took a deep breath and looked at Shao Yibai deeply with her misty eyes. She caressed the mans tall nose and whispered in a low voice, Big Brother Shao, Ive also longed for this day for many years already... Tell me, this isnt a dream, right? You fool! Shao Yibai pinched her little nose and said, Of course its not a dream! Then, let me pinch you and see if it hurts? Okay! The man nodded earnestly. Su Qingcheng snorted and said, You are such a fool. Youll be hurting, not me. I still dont know if Im dreaming or not! Then, what about I pinch you? Shao Yibai said whileughing naughtily. Su Qingcheng pushed him and said, Focus on driving! Shao Yibai saw the forked road in front and turned the steering wheel to the other side. Su Qingcheng noticed that it was not the way home and she found it strange. Where are we going? Shao Yibai did not answer and continued to focus on driving. When they were getting closer to the suburbs, Su Qingcheng saw the signpost indicating the forest park. She recalled that this ce was very far away from home and got a little angry. What are you doing again? Shao Yibai parked the car in a quiet ce on the side of the road, unbuckled the seat belt, and said in a hoarse low voice, I have not tried doing it in the car yet... Su Qingcheng was left speechless. Chapter 395 (END) - The End: Happy and Sweet Together

Chapter 395: The End: Happy and Sweet Together

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When it came to sex, Su Qingcheng was never one to overdo it, but she was not against it either. Especially after being separated from Shao Yibai for so many years, she had an unusual desire towards it. However,pared with the huge bed at home, Su Qingcheng did not consider doing it in the carfortable. Besides being mentally tensed, the car was also narrow and small. Even though she was extremely terrified, the man would not be satisfied. Up until the end, she had no choice but to beg for mercy softly. Then, she bit on his shoulders and provoked him to surrender in advance. Her entire body was aching, and it felt as if bones were being torn apart. She thenined softly. If this goes on, will I be able to live a happy life if we get married? Shao Yibai kissed her blushing little face with affection, Your husband loves you so much, why are you stillining? Su Qingcheng refused to ept Shao Yibais im as her husband. We still have not gotten a license yet. We only slept together for a few times, and youre already calling yourself that. Arent you a little shameless? Shao Yibaiughed softly and said, Well get our license on Monday. Su Qingcheng thought that the man was just trying to make her happy. After all, she only mentioned it in passing and was not in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Shao Yibai was someone who actually meant the things she said. On Monday morning, Shao Yibai dragged Su Qingcheng out of the bed and said that they were going to get a marriage license. The door of the Civil Affairs Bureau almost in contact with the tip of Su Qingchengs nose, yet the woman was still a little confused. How did the situation change so quickly? Since Shao Yibai did not have any military ranking at the moment, things were much simpler than thest time. Before Su Qingcheng could adapt to the transformation, the red marriage certificates had already been handed over to the two of them. Shao Yibai held Su Qingchengs hand in one hand and the certificate in other. The smile on his face had gotten deeper and he could not wait to announce to the world that he had already gotten a wife. There was no need for him to live alone until he died anymore. Su Qingcheng looked at the foolish smile on his face and did not say anything to bring him down. After all, it was indeed not easy for an old man! The only thing left to do was to prepare for the wedding. The rtives were not a problem as the Shao Family did not have that many family members. There were only a few close rtives who were able to make use of the Shao Familys connection. They had mainly invited Shao Jingshans colleagues, friends, andrades. After Jiao Shuzhens careful verification, the invitation, wedding cakes, and wedding candies were being delivered. The members of Luo Hais Yuan Family would also be present. Moreover, Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan would be present. When Su Qingcheng thought about meeting Mu Chenyan, she had gotten a little excited. She did not have any family members and Mu Chenyan was one of her very few friends. Thus, she was happy that she coulde. Su Qingcheng also decided to invite Li Ji and Miao Hong. Miao Hong found out that the two of them had finally gotten together and she burst into tears of joy. However, she recalled that she did not even have an identity and could not help but feel hurt. * After the Spring Festival, Capital City had finally weed spring after a winter baptism. Shao Yibais wedding banquet was chosen to be on thest week of May. The higher up officials proposed an economic wedding, so aside from those who had been invited by the Shao Family, no one else were not allowed to attend the wedding. The wedding banquet was not extravagant, and the wedding gifts were just regr ones. Shao Yibai wore a high-end custom tailored suit, and he kept looking at his watch from time to time before he was to pick up Su Qingcheng. He was afraid of missing it, and Yuan Xuan found it funny just by looking at him. Its your first time being a groom, not to mention that youre an old man. Thus, it is inevitable for you to be nervous! Yuan Xuan smiled lightly and joked. Shao Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, Youre saying as if you have been a groom for several times already! At the very least, we have already gotten together. Besides, we already have a son and a daughter. Im no doubt the winner in life, so I think Im qualified to mock you. Yuan Xuan could not help but unt. His gaze had already fallen onto his wife. Shao Yibai rolled his eyes in annoyance. Yuan Xuan was taking revenge. He was venting out all the losses and anger that he had gotten from Shen Muqiu. Mu Chenyan had gained weight after Yuan Xuans days and nights effort. Two months after she gave birth to the baby, her weight remained high and she had seeded in gaining 20 pounds. Therefore, sheined to Su Qingcheng with a sour look on her face. You should not eat too much after being pregnant. Ive gained so much weight that I cant fit into any clothes and its so annoying. Su Qingcheng felt that Mu Chenyan seemed a little more attractive after she had gained weight. When a woman got thicker, there would be a different kind of charm. Su Qingcheng smiled and said, Im still nowhere close to getting pregnant... She wore the starry sky themed wedding dress. The thin and flowy mesh long tail was dragging on the floor, and it entuated Su Qingchengs temperament. Shao Yibai had arranged two little kids to hold the ends of the dress. Su Shaoan looked at his mother getting married with a funny look on his face... The wedding scene was decorated with thousands of Su Qianchengs favorite lilies, and the fragrance of the flowers permeated the air. The male and female protagonists were very attractive. Two children were holding the ends of Su Qingchengs dress. One of the children was Su Shaoan, who was wearing a small little bow tie, and the other was Shao Yibais cousin brothers youngest daughter, who was adorably lively. Su Qingcheng was extremely nervous, and when it was time to exchange rings, her little hands trembled visibly. Shao Yibai could tell that she was nervous, so he held her hand tightly and caressed it before putting on the wedding rings that they had custom-made previously. Mr. Shao of the Capital City had a sly smile on his face. He was so happy that he was smiling from ears to ears. On the wedding night... Everyone knew that he still had a task tonight, so they did not force him to drink at the end. Even so, Shao Yibai was still a little drunk. When they returned to their new house, Su Qingcheng made him some hangover soup. While the man drank the soup, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman of his dreams. After 9 years, they finally got together. Xiaodai... Yes? Pinch me! Dont worry, this is not a dream! Su Qingcheng was getting impatient. This was Shao Yibais 101st time asking her to pinch him. Give me a head massage. My head hurts a little, the man said softly. Su Qingcheng sighed, kneeled beside him, and massaged his head. Shao Yibaiid on the huge bed and enjoyed the massage for a moment. However, the scent of the woman was too tempting. Under the influence of alcohol, the man felt a surge of warmth rose in his heart. Suddenly, he turned around and pulled the absent-minded woman under him. Then, he pressed his warm lips towards her, along with his alcoholic breath. Su Qingcheng snorted sulkily, but she did not refuse him. She was alerted when he realized the mans hands on her body were bing restless. She quickly grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, No! It was their wedding night, so why not? Shao Yibai frowned, and he was somewhat unhappy. After all, Su Qingcheng had always given in to him when it came to this. Su Qingchengs eyshes were very long. She lowered her eyes in embarrassment and said shyly, I... might be pregnant... What? The man was unable to form a response at the moment. Su Qingcheng said a little angrily, I havent gotten my period for two months already... Shao Yibai was stunned, and he had an odd look on his handsome face. You mean, here... Shao Yibai flipped over and jumped out of the bed. He pointed at her stomach with an unbelievable look on his face. Damn it, he was pressing against it just now!! Su Qingcheng nodded gently. Yes! Shao Yibai danced in a circle twice excitedly. Tomorrow, we need to change Su Shaoans name to Shao Suan! Shao Yibai was speaking nonsense, and Su Qingcheng was stunned. Mu Chenyans children did not use Yuan as their surnames... She thought of Yan Muyu and how Yuan Xuan did not mind that he who followed his grandmothers surname! At that time, Shao Yibai was half sober already. He sat down, caressed Su Qingchengs stomach, and exined softly, We are not An Ans birth parents and youre pregnant now, so Im afraid that he might feel left out when we have our baby. Since weve adopted him, we must give him a proper status! Su Qingcheng felt a strange warmth in her heart. She finally understood the reason why the others praised him. He was the War of God when he wore a military uniform, but he was a poet when he took off his military uniform! He was truly a gentleman, so she was relieved to hand over the rest of her life to such a man. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
