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

When Yuan Zhe saw Wen Ya’s extremely condescending little face, his own tone became terribly cold as he asked, “What do you know?”

Wen Ya sneered before she said, “I don’t think that I’d understand if this had only happened once or twice. However, do you really think that I wouldn’t get it after such a long time? All the members of the Yuan Family are devils!”

Annoyed, Yuan Zhe flung the cigarette butt out of his hand. His body was naked when he walked towards the front of the bed and glared at Wen Ya with a vicious gaze. “Who was giving in to their lust underneath the devil’s body earlier? Hmm?”

Wen Ya bitterly turned her face away and shut her eyes. She did not want to see this man’s face.

Yuan Zhe refused to let her have her way. He suddenly grabbed her by the chin and turned her face towards him as a sinister smile appeared on his face. “You’re scared of admitting that I’ve subdued your body despite your hatred and resentment for me, right?”

The tears in the corners of Wen Ya’s eyes rolled down her cheeks before she revealed her blatant hatred for him. “Yuan Zhe, you scold and hit me simply because of the unfairness that fills your heart. You can’t surpass Yuan Xuan in the outside world but you’re tormented by your father at home. You’re a complete coward. Aside from venting your anger on me, what else can you do?”

Burning rage filled Yuan Zhe’s heart when he heard this and noticed that the woman had actually struck many of his sore spots. He increased the force in his hand, hurting Wen Ya until she quietly groaned and used her little hand to push him away.

“You devil!” Wen Ya cursed.

Yuan Zhe sneered, “You’re right, I’m a devil. I’m going to make you realize tonight that a real demon won’t be as merciful as I was before!”

Yuan Zhe left after he said that. Moments later, he returned from the study room carrying a box.

Wen Ya had no idea what Yuan Zhe was doing. Her gaze was rather fearful when she looked at this man who seemed to had lost his mind.

It took her a while to realize that the box actually contained Yuan Zhe’s secret stash of items!

Wen Ya was aware that Yuan Zhe perversely fooled around outside. However, she did not know that Yuan Zhe actually possessed these specialized items at home.

The woman’s entire body trembled. Moreover, she was too afraid to make any sudden movements because of the cast on her leg. She fearfully glanced at Yuan Zhe while her voice quivered as she asked, “What are you trying to do?”

A bloodthirsty smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Zhe’s face when he noticed that Wen Ya was terrified and panic-stricken. “Mrs Yuan, you haven’t tried this yet, huh? I purposely prepared it for you!”

Wen Ya suddenly realized that this man had prepared these things when she was in the hospital while he was waiting for her to be discharged.

They had ignored this matter all this while for so many years. Since this man had previously gotten a taste of such a pleasant experience, perhaps he would repeatedly use this method to torment her in the future.

“No… Get lost!”

Wen Ya’s voice changed from fear when she saw those terrifying “torture instruments”…

…

Mu Chenyan was doted on by Yuan Xuan throughout the entire night.

She was unaware that Wen Ya was also experiencing something similar in Peace Mansion but she was being tortured throughout the night instead.

Mu Chenyan woke up at dawn when her husband gently kissed her with his thin lips. Her drowsy eyes were still blurry when she turned over. The French window’s pale yellow curtains looked unusually gentle under the misty light of the early morning sun. During the early summer of May, sunlight pierced through the cracks and glimmered inside, warming the morning breeze as well.

Mu Chenyan lazily stretched and looked upward before she saw Yuan Xuan taking his clothes out of the closet.

Yuan Xuan’s great figure truly looked attractive no matter what he wore, such as these khaki casual pants and a white T-shirt. All year round, his closet was filled with white shirts that were always of an abnormally clean shade. One could never tire of looking at him in these clothes despite seeing him wear it numerous times.

“You’re not going to work today?”

Mu Chenyan quietly asked when she saw that he was not wearing his formal wear but had chosen a soft white cotton T-shirt instead.

Frankly, there was something else that she kept wanting to ask last night. What would they do about Qinger in the future?

“Yes, I’ve chosen a gallery for Qinger that will display her artworks during an art exhibition.”

It was rare that Yuan Xuan would be willing to explain some of the situation to her. Mu Chenyan lowered her eyelids and did not pursue the question any further.

…

Wu Huai’s expression darkened when he saw Mu Chenyan in one of the corners in the office. Wu Huai never mentioned it but he was inwardly unhappy that Mu Chenyan had secretly went over and followed the case behind his back.

“Big Brother Wu…”

Mu Chenyan knew that she was at fault. She had purposely avoided Wu Huai and distanced herself when she saw him several times. However, she forced herself to greet him when they accidentally ran into each other and she could not avoid him today.

In a muffled voice, Wu Huai said, “Miss Mu, I admire you very much because you made a name for yourself after one case!”

Since she had become famous after one case, more people in the news industry now paid attention to this rookie reporter. She was brave enough to boldly publish Nie Chao’s case despite being previously obscure. A case that was initially supposed to be hushed had instantly took a favorable turn instead!

Mu Chenyan could not tell whether Wu Huai was mocking or praising her. She hung her head and lowered her eyes before she replied Wu Huai, saying, “I can’t tell if Big Brother Wu is kidding…”

“Nie Chao committed suicide in the Detention Center last night!”

Wu Huai’s expression became rather frosty while his gaze was bone-piercingly cold when he suddenly said that.

Mu Chenyan was dumbfounded because this result was beyond her expectations.

“However, you don’t have to feel sorry for him because those who are unjust are doomed to destruction! You don’t know how many crimes people like him have committed. This was bound to happen sooner or later. You could say that he deserved the things that happened to him today!”

Mu Chenyan was stunned by the news of Nie Chao’s suicide. Wu Huai’s face looked rather suspicious when he glanced at her expression. “Miss Mu, don’t you know who helped you publish that article?”

Mu Chenyan shook her head. “Why are you asking that, Big Brother Wu? Didn’t Chief Editor Liu willingly publish it?”

“I don’t know how brave Liu Haonan actually is, but do you think that he’d be self-aware enough to do it if he didn’t have anyone supporting him in the background? Hmph!”

As an upright person, Wu Huai had always been somewhat disdainful towards people who acted as the situation required.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know. I just wanted to remind Miss Mu not to allow people to manipulate you and be unaware of that.”

Wu Huai’s gaze swept across Mu Chenyan when he said that, as though he wanted to find some clues from her expression.

The intelligent woman suddenly thought of something but she did not dare to mention it in front of Wu Huai.

“Big Brother Wu keeps saying unnecessary things but I’m merely relying on my instincts to take action…”

Mu Chenyan’s attitude had already made it difficult for Wu Huai to respond.

Wu Huai sighed, “Miss Mu is still inexperienced. This old case met a bitter end three years ago. I don’t want Miss Mu to be sucked into a whirlpool again before you’ll be pushed towards the heart of the struggle…”

Mu Chenyan could sense Wu Huai’s sincerity. The woman rubbed the tip of her nose and faintly said, “Chenyan will always bear the things that Big Brother Wu said in mind!”

Mu Chenyan thought of Wu Huai’s words throughout the entire afternoon. She had been manipulated indeed. However, the person with a target on his chest was Yuan Xuan…

It was needless to say that aside from Yuan Xuan, there was no one else in Luo Hai who could put Chief Editor Liu in such mind-numbing danger that would force him to publish that news article.

Nie Chao’s suicide was probably one of the “assumed suicides” that were presently widespread.

One person’s life or death could affect the safety of everyone around them.

When she thought of Xue Meiwei’s attitude towards her, she could imagine that in the eyes’ of the Yuan Family’s second son, she was now considered as a thorn in his flesh…

However, Mu Chenyan was not afraid. Nonetheless, she was really unhappy about being unconsciously manipulated by Yuan Xuan.

This man was truly a scoundrel with a murderous intent behind his smile.

The woman became slightly restless before it was time for her to leave the office. Fortunately, her phone rang just in time. When Mu Chenyan saw that Wu Ze was calling her, her mood instantly brightened.

At times like this, Wu Ze always resembled a ray of sunshine that dispersed the thick clouds in her heart…
