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

When Yuan Xuan saw the figure of the man in the surveillance, he immediately knew it was Shen Muqiu, without a doubt.

As he left with Tian Qi. he ordered Yan Jun to first head to Liu Li Villa to secure the area.

When Shen Muqiu saw that Yuan Xuan had lost no time in calling him, a callous smile emerged in the corner of his lips. “Yuan Xuan, my apologies for coming uninvited. I had to, since you wouldn’t allow me to see her.”

Shen Muqiu’s words were little, but he spoke in a reasonable manner, even though it was he who had acted arbitrarily.

“Shen Muqiu, you’re playing with fire!” Yuan Xuan said plainly. “Send Yuan Tian back and I won’t hold this matter against you. Otherwise, you won’t live to see another day in Luohai!”

“Haha, does Third Young Master Yuan think I’m that easily frightened?”

Shen Muqiu the man who had been hovering between life and death, heard Yuan Xuan subtly threatening him, and replied with an unconcerned tone.

Yuan Xuan sat in the car, casting his gloomy gaze outside the window. “It’s fine if you don’t give a damn, but I’ll remind you; don’t forget that your group of brothers are still at Liu Li Villa, and that includes the inheritance left by your father!”

Yuan Xuan finished his words and paused for a moment to give Shen Muqiu some time to think. He then went on to say.

“If you dare touch Yuan Tian, you can kiss those goodbye!”

As those words fell on Shen Muqiu’s ears, even the sound of him gritting his teeth could be heard by Yuan Xuan through the speaker.

“Yuan Xuan, aren’t you ruthless ?” Shen Yuqiu’s tone was very light, masking any emotion he might have had within. His fists, however, were clenched hard as the murderous aura that emanated from him.

“Shen Muqiu, I believe Yuan Tian’s kidnapping tonight was a spur-of-the-moment act, was it not?” Yuan Xuan thought back to seeing Yan Jiangsheng in the bar, and he had a slight notion of what had happened.

People like Shen Muqiu would not start a fight with a few ignorant brats. However, if it involved Yan Tian, Yuan Xuan had reason to believe that Shen Muqiu might even murder someone.

“You’re back in Luohai for a mission. Uncle Shen was wronged back then, but you’re not putting your mind into reversing the verdict, and instead, you got entangled with your personal romance…”

“Enough!” Shen Muqiu paced about in the room as Yuan Xuan’s criticisms continued. , “Know this. I will not let you or the Yuan family stop me from taking this woman!” !”

His angry voice caused the little woman sleeping on the bed to be uneased, and Yuan Tian stirred in her sleep.

The moment Shen Muqiu saw that, he rubbed the spot between his eyebrows and suppressed his voice.

“I just want to stay with her for a night. Enough with the talk about principles and whatnot. I’ll have someone send her back tomorrow!”

…

Mu Chenyan saw Yuan Xuan returning indoors. his face one of unbearable gloom and unsightliness. She had overheard the call Yuan Xuan had received before he left, and as such had an inkling that this had something to do with Yuan Tian. During the time when Yuan Xuan was away, she was bursting at the seams with anxiety she was unable to sit still. She hastily strode up the moment Yuan Xuan came home and forced the question.

“What happened to Big Tian? I’m almost scared to death…”

Yuan Xuan pulled Mu Chenyan into his embrace and saw that her face had paled out of fright. He recalled that he had forgotten to inform her when he left and understood her concerns.

“It’s nothing! Don’t worry! She’ll be back tomorrow.”

Yuan Xuan took a cursory look at his mobile phone. No missed calls. He could not help but sigh in defeat. This woman; she could be exceptionally well-behaved when she was obedient. Not a single call, even when she was worried sick. She had chosen instead to well in her anxiety and wait quietly in her home.

“Little Chenyan, if there’s ever another situation in the future that causes you to so worried you can’t sleep, you can always call me.””

Yuan Xuan’s voice was a sentimental one.

Mu Chenyan was stunned for a moment. She then smiled bitterly. “I thought you wouldn’t have told me anything, and that you’d ignore my worries anyway, so I didn’t think of calling you…”

Yuan Xuan’s heart was gently prodded.

He tightened his arms around her as his embrace became firmer. “Little Chenyan, it’s not that I wouldn’t want you to know, it’s just that a lot of things would only bring you more distress once you learn of them. I want you to live with ease…”

“Well, this doesn’t exactly ease now, is it?”

The corner of Mu Chenyan’s lips curled upwards slightly. She pulled away from Yuan Xuan’s embrace and remarked faintly, “Your actions only make me feel stupid…”

Yuan Xuan took in Mu Chenyan’s stubbornness, and a feeling of sudden helplessness overcame him.

“Little Chenyan, forgive me…”

“What’s there to forgive?” Mu Chenyan stared as Yuan Xuan’s gaze softened, yet his starry pupils remained just as resplendent as they always were. Worried that they would draw her in and forever encase her in a trance, she quickly interrupted Yuan Xuan. “It’s late now. We better go to bed! I still have to go to work tomorrow…”

“Well, if you want to go out and enjoy yourself, you can do that too!”

Yuan Xuan set her free, just like that, which was to Mu Chenyan something both lucky and unexpected.

It seemed that acting coquettishly once in a while was something good…

…

Su Qingcheng was quite surprised to see Mu Chenyan disappear, only to return a few days later.

During lunch at noon, Mu Chenyan recounted the story of her visit to Ye Kun at the hospital. Su Qingcheng was taken aback. “You mean to say that Zhao Yanni wanted to kill Ye Kun? Well in that case, I really should tell you that the previous investigation did implicate your brother…”

Su Qingcheng revealed all the ins and outs to Mu Chenyan, ignoring Wu Huai’s order to keep mum on the matter.

Mu Chenyan felt even more dismal after hearing her out. “My head’s all muddled up. Who am I supposed to trust now?”

When Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyan’s agony, an idea popped into her mind, and she whispered, “Why don’t you go to Feng Rao? Since she can give you information, it means that she can contact Mu Chenwu!”

The apt words enlightened Mu Chenyan, and her gaze suddenly became determined and calm. “Yeah, how could I have completely forgotten about her? I’ll find Feng Rao. Maybe she knows where my brother is!”

Acting on her words, Mu Chenyan got off work early and messaged Yuan Xuan, saying that she would be having dinner with Su Qingcheng.

Seeing that Mu Chenyan was in a hurry to look for Feng Rao, Su Qingcheng commented, “That woman’s not a simple one, you might get nothing out of this! !”

Mu Chenyan smiled, “There’s always plan B!”

As she spoke, she took out something the size of a button from her bag and handed it to Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng took it and studied it. “A micro-tapping device?”

Mu Chenyan nodded. “This may come in handy. Nothing ventured nothing gained, anyway. I already have the app on my phone, so I can listen in from a certain range!”

Su Qingcheng smiled as she looked at Mu Chenyan and sighed. “Woman, it’s a pity that you aren’t a police officer. You’re so full of ideas!”

“My ways are completely unorthodox. If I were police, I can’t just be bugging someone, right?”

Su Qingcheng nodded. “That’s true. The police focus on collecting evidence, but your methods are hardly scientific.”

Mu Chenyan waved the tapping device in her hand and chuckled as she said, “Wish me luck!”

…

When Feng Rao received the call from Mu Chenyan, she was quite surprised. She looked at the time after hanging up the phone call. Half an hour left.

Feng Rao took out another mobile phone from the drawer in her bedroom and dialed a number.

The call went through, and a man’s deep and lazy voice sounded through the speaker. “What is it?”

Feng Rao heard the impatience in Mu Chenwu’s voice and explained, “Mu Chenyan asked me to meet her. She’s probably going to ask about you. What should I do?”

The voice on the other end was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, the man lowered his voice and sneered coldly. “This sister of mine is always full of unwarranted thoughts. If you decline her, she’ll definitely call you up again. Just go, and follow my instructions!”
