Chapter 123: A Burglar Broke In On this Night?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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, you’re 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 you’re 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 Master’s command!

This kind of hierarchy concept caused Ah Fu to stay on despite how worried she was for her grandfather.

“Go quickly, I don’t need you to serve me here!”

Mu Chenyan said, “If it’s possible, stay in the hospital to take care of Butler Fu.” “There are other maids at home and I’ll 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 blankly at the sky through the cream-colored gauze curtain on the bedroom’s 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 relatively long time taking a bath. She felt her body becoming 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 noise coming 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 burglar broke in on this night that Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu had just left?

It was impossible!

Even though the Yuan Family’s level of security could not be compared to a military compound, the number of servants and guards in this old mansion was the highest in Luo Hai. That was because of Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tangzhong’s special statuses.

Thus, Mu Chenyan would carelessly take a bath upstairs without locking the front door in the front hall.

The fact that the ‘burglar’ 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-glass 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 floor lamp was a little dim, but Mu Chenyan could tell that this guy was wearing a soft white shirt and a plaid vest on top. His sleeves were rolled up half-way showing his muscular arms.

Although Mu Chenyan could only see the back of his tall and upright physique, she still recognized him!

“Brother... Yuan Zhe?”
