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 to come here? If you’re looking for me, forgive me for being unable to accompany you!”
Mu Chenyan did not beat around the bush. She bluntly expressed that she did not welcome her.
Mu Chenyan’s 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 Chenyan’s impatient face. She flatly said, “I didn’t come here looking for you! I’m waiting for Brother Xuan because I have something very important to tell him!”
As she spoke, Shu Qinger paused and waited for Mu Chenyan’s response.
Mu Chenyan furrowed her eyebrows while looking rather annoyed and scornful. She sternly glared 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, he’s promised to contact a local gallery and he’s even invested several million for me.”
The stern look on Mu Chenyan’s face remained.
“Once Mr Shao leaves after autumn, Brother Xuan has also promised to give me the mansion that he’s currently staying in. How could I not thank him?”
Shu Qinger joyfully laughed after she had finished speaking. She did not come here to show her gratitude but she was clearly here to display 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 Chenyan’s heart was momentarily stifled with melancholy.
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 planning to live a luxurious life with multiple wives?
Mu Chenyan’s heart was filled with annoyance at Shu Qinger’s blunt attitude. Her stern face was completely devoid of even a hint of emotion when she said, “In the future, if you’re looking for Yuan Xuan because you have some business with him, make a phone call or just call him over to Upper Mansion. You don’t have to come to Hibiscus Garden!”
“Frankly, I don’t like looking at you! I hate how you’re openly lusting after Yuan Xuan even more!”
Shu Qinger’s expression changed and became terribly contorted when she heard this.
Was Mu Chenyan already throwing a tantrum although she had yet to even launch her attack?
This sequence was wrong!
According to Shu Qinger’s impression, Mu Chenyan was previously a simple-minded girl. When did she become 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, you’re 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 hadn’t 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 Xuan’s 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 don’t care about it as much as you’d imagine!”
While she spoke, Mu Chenyan saw that Shu Qinger was extremely doubtful. She continued, “I never planned to live my entire life here while growing old with Yuan Xuan. Hence, I don’t necessarily care about your concerns! However, my mother is the only remaining member of the Mu Family and she’s still under Yuan Xuan’s control while my brother’s 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 you’re rushing to take my place, you would have to wait for me to leave first. Therefore, you don’t have to frantically run over and threaten me right in front of my face!”
Mu Chenyan’s words had rendered Qinger speechless after she criticized her. After staring blankly, 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, you’ve returned!”
Yuan Xuan had one foot outside the door and another foot inside. He had clearly heard the woman’s words…
Mu Chenyan grew slightly apprehensive when her eyes met Yuan Xuan’s 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 blankly.
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 relationship between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family was verified later, 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 you’ve always had this thought!”
Yuan Xuan’s tone finally changed one night. It was no longer intentionally modest and gentle anymore. On the contrary, flames 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… It’s not… That… I wasn’t going to run away…”
She knew that she was at fault but the man’s breath had also thrown her off. Mu Chenyan suddenly felt confused when she was pressed down underneath Yuan Xuan’s 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!
