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

Chapter 3: Even in Death, You Would Still Be the Yuan Family’s Ghost

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Butler Fu was neither haughty nor humble when he placed a hand on his granddaughter’s 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 Family’s achievements throughout the generations was that there were only reasons why certain daughters-in-law who married into the family were unwanted, but there have never been previous instances of wives divorcing the husbands!

“Even in death, you’d still be a ghost of the Yuan Family!”

His final sentence seemed like he was downplaying it but it was actually a blatant threat!

Each of her grandfather’s words was devastating critiques and this was a situation that a young person like Ah Fu had never witnessed.

She slanted 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 Master’s 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!

Nonetheless, 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 place of Yuan Xuan and saying that even if I die, I’ll 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 place for a weak girl like her!

If they were competing between who could be more ruthless, she had never been Yuan Xuan’s 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 black Jaguar sped past and sprayed water everywhere!

The dark clouds in the sky that had recently dispersed now gathered in a pitch black shroud once again!

A storm was approaching from afar once again!

...

Mu Chenyan’s expression was indifferent and extremely cold. Not even the car’s heater could warm her!

She glanced 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 girl’s muddled heart!

Her father had explained to her he was the son of his comrade from Luo Hai’s most illustrious family, whom she would call Brother Xuan from then on!

Thus, this mountain road that was completely 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 foreign land, 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 shouldn’t 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 I’ll do the same!

“I, Mu Chenyan, have set my mind on him so I won’t give up easily!”

Hearing news of the jealous rivalry between both women, the man’s expression resembled dark clouds that were hanging overhead. He glared at her little face that stubbornly refused to repent. He was absolutely certain that this young woman would endlessly pester him from today onwards!

“Don’t waste your time on me! You should have your own path that you want to travel on!” warned Yuan Xuan.

Mu Chenyan’s big eyes suddenly twinkled and said, “I like you, but that doesn’t concern you! Brother Xuan, you don’t have to feel pressured! However, you can’t stop me from liking you!”

...

When she returned after completing 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 Hai’s 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 could compete with him and could merely watch him ascend from afar!

The Yuan Family Mansion had become 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!

“I’m going to marry Brother Yuan Xuan!!!

“I’ve finally touched his heart...”

...

When she recalled the extremely frivolous youth, the corners of Mu Chenyan’s 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 rival’s trap again!

Mu Chenyan’s weary emotions stirred as she reached her hand out to comb 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 black 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 Master’s adoration will be in another place.

I will wait for your black hair to coil up, even if you will be smiling while holding another in your embrace.
