Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You

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

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Chenyan parked her car beside the road and placed 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 car’s 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... I’m just unwell!”

Mu Chenyan turned her head toward the side as she spoke before her complexion 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.

“It’s fine, I can drive myself.”

Mu Chenyan forced a smile before she drove away at a snail’s 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 you’re 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.

“I’ll 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 played 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 today’s findings. Yuan Xuan’s 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 playing.

Shao Yibai noticed the changes in Yuan Xuan’s emotions. The man placed his golf club on his shoulder before he maliciously smiled at Yuan Xuan.

“I think that Mu Chenyan’s only purpose in life is to fill your heart with turmoil! She hasn’t even done anything but your expression has changed, your mind’s uneasy, and you can’t even stay still. If she had exerted the slightest bit of force, I’m afraid that the Mu Family would be able to crush you completely 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. “You’re 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 flaws.

“Everyone knows that Mu Chenyan is everything to me!

“I want to protect her but the outside world won’t 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 placed 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 Xuan’s voice when he mentioned Mu Chenwu.

That man was also from the Mu Family but he was treated in a completely 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 she’ll come home and argue with you again?”

Yuan Xuan’s gaze darkened. He raised his glass of water and gently sipped it. “It’s fine if she throws a little tantrum and kicks up a fuss, I’ll just coax her out of it. However, Mu Chenwu will probably forget about being a loving sibling when he goes insane. If he manipulates Little Chenyan, I’ll worried that the stupid woman will do as he says without thinking about her own safety!”

Shao Yibai was amused by Yuan Xuan’s appraisal of Mu Chenyan and the words that he used to describe her. He could not help but laugh heartily. “Yes! Sometimes, women are rather adorable when they behave foolishly. They’re more attractive this way than when they lash out for no reason!”

A smile appeared on the corners of Yuan Xuan’s lips when he heard this. “Are you talking about yourself?”

Shao Yibai was faintly tormented. He carelessly combed through his messy hair while looking rather agitated. “My woman is too unreasonable! It looks like I’ll 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 glanced at the sky. Summer nights came later. He kept his tools and prepared to return to the mansion. His grandmother wanted everyone to come over for a meal. Everyone had come home because she had not held a family banquet in a long time.

“When are you planning to make your move?”

Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan still had an impressive trick up his sleeve.

“Yuan Tangzhong’s transfer order to Capital City has been held up so he can’t leave Luo Hai for some time. I was planning to toy with him briefly but from the looks of it now, it’d be better to end this sooner because of Mu Chenwu and Mu Chenyan.”

Yuan Xuan’s flat tone concealed murderous intentions.

A hint of darkness flashed across the man’s 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 to come out and socialize because Zhao Yanni’s incident had upset her. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan was her only granddaughter-in-law 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 the last person to come 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. “The last person to come 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 woman’s 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 Xuan’s 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 glanced at Yuan Xuan with a penetrating and unreadable gaze.

Yuan Xuan did not look away when his uncle’s eyes met his. A mocking smile appeared on the corners of his lips while a hint of irritation stirred in Yuan Tangzhong’s 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.
