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

Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. “I don’t feel cold! It was much colder inside there . Everyone would only have a blanket in the winter…”

Yuan Xuan’s 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 Xuan’s 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 explain 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 plants would’ve been uprooted and thrown out. I didn’t expect you to still be keeping them !”

“They are something you fancy so much. How could I bear to discard them?”

Xuan Yuan’s words were full of sincerity, which were the complete 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 minutes later, he brought the shrimp soup sent by Jiu Er upstairs. The soup looked like it had just been heated up!

Chenyan must have possessed certain latent 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 become weak toward these kind of delicacies she was oh so very fond of.

Yuan Xuan saw her expression, which was similar to that of a hesitant kitten who wanted to eat and an evil smile crept up on his face.

“Eat up! It’ll be time for exercise later…”

Mu Chenyan was initially dying to eat, but upon hearing these words, her face became pale from fear as she lost her appetite!

“I’m 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, black hair , eventually stopping at the ends. His husky voice purred, “Why? Still can’t accept the fact that you’re 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 accident during his escape, and my brother to disappear without a word!

Now you’re telling me that you want to have me. How can you even spout such nonsense? I’ll tell you now, I’ve been a fool for more than ten years, but I shan’t be one any longer!”

“So?”

Yuan Xuan’s dark eyes were filled with murderous intent as he waited for the woman to vent all her dissatisfaction before plainly asking.

“Divorce! I want a divorce!!”

Mu Chenyan’s tone was firm and unquestionable.

It had been 14 years since their relationship 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 up completely. Yet, this woman had brought up the topic of divorce!

Dream on!
