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

Mu Chenyan ate a lot during dinner. Frankly, she ate whatever she wanted without one bit of hesitation, so she was incredibly full at the moment.

She was so thin that her flat little abdomen still looked taut even if she felt bloated when she removed her clothes.

Mu Chenyan grabbed her swimsuit. She was about to put it on when Yuan Xuan stopped her.

“Why are you wearing a swimsuit?” Yuan Xuan threw the black bikini aside. “In Japan, men and women treat each other respectfully despite sharing the same pool. Why would you need a swimsuit when we’re the only ones here?”

Mu Chenyan groaned. She was still somewhat hesitant. Her body that was wrapped in a towel flushed red. “I’m embarrassed to go in naked… Please let me…”

“Embarrassed?” Yuan Xuan smirked playfully. “Haven’t I seen every inch of your body already?”

Mu Chenyan bit her lip. A resentful look appeared on her face as she hesitated. She knew that this man harbored ill intentions.

She was right. She could already feel the scorching heat radiating off his body when he carried her downstairs while she was still clad in that towel.

They were about to have a romantic encounter in the water soon. The water was adjusted to a suitable temperature. The woman was able to relax both mentally and physically very soon.

Mu Chenyan leaned against the side lazily. Yuan Xuan poured a glass of red wine for her and placed it on a floating wooden plank. The woman’s eyes were barely open when the plank drifted toward her. She lifted her hand and took the wine glass. She pressed her lips against the rim and took a sip.

The smell of alcohol was slightly intoxicating to her. After all, she was not used to drinking. She merely drank a tiny sip out of courtesy.

Her husband approached her the moment she put the wine glass down. He said in a deep voice, “Why don’t you take another sip?”

Mu Chenyan shook her head. She felt sluggish and had trouble keeping her eyes open now.

She was exhausted after these past few busy days. All she could think about is sleep after submerging herself in the pool.

Alcohol was the cause of many problems. Mu Chenyan made a mental note to drink responsibly.

However, she had underestimated Yuan Xuan’s domineering personality. Suddenly, he covered her lips and stopped her breath from leaving her mouth. Mu Chenyan moaned quietly as warm liquid trickled past the gaps between her teeth…

“Mmm…”

In a moment of panic, Mu Chenyan wrapped her arms around the man’s shoulders.

His breath was moist and frenzied…

Yuan Xuan chuckled. “Little Chenyan, I like this side of you!”

Mu Chenyan blushed delicately. She looked like she was waiting for him to have his way with her. This made her indescribably alluring…

“Are you trying to take advantage of me again?”

Mu Chenyan shook her head. Her eyes were misted over. She pleaded in a small voice, “I’m so tired…”

“You don’t have to move. I’ll do it…”

His hands started moving impatiently as he spoke.

Mu Chenyan moaned, but she covered her mouth when she realized suddenly that they were still out in the open. Her eyes darted back and forth frantically.

“Let’s go to the bedroom…”

Yuan Xuan ignored her pleas. He lifted her with his hands and flipped her over. Her smooth back was now flushed after being soaked in the hot spring. Yuan Xuan kissed the top of her head gently. Then, his lips moved to her ear before making his way down…

He was meticulous and careful. Not a single inch of her skin was neglected…

Mu Chenyan’s body trembled and tensed under his lips. Her little hands grabbed the shiny pebbles beside the pool as she endured the burning heat teasing her from behind.

She bit her lips firmly to silence herself. Her cheeks were bright red now. In the end, she could not stop herself from moaning quietly…

“Baby, these feelings are perfectly normal. Don’t hold back…”

Yuan Xuan started moving again as he spoke.

Mu Chenyan sighed softly.

The water splashed about…

The waves rippled as the couple intertwined themselves intimately.

“Moan for me, Little Chenyan…” Yuan Xuan whispered in her ear.

Mu Chenyan sobbed quietly and refused to comply.

In the end, she cried out and even yelled until her throat became hoarse…

Before Mu Chenyan fainted, she heard the man complain unhappily, “Your stamina is terrible, my Little Chenyan.”

Damn, he was so close!

Yuan Xuan held his wife in his arms and carried her out of the pool.

Mu Chenyan slept soundly that night. Yuan Xuan played with her hair and kissed her face.

She had no idea that Mu Chenwu’s subordinates had ambushed Sheng Yu while she and Yuan Xuan were frolicking in the water. They had attempted to kidnap Yan Mei…

Yuan Xuan’s phone screen flashed when Yan Jun called him. He opened the sliding door and walked to the balcony to avoid disturbing the woman who was sound asleep.

“Sir, you were right. Mu Chenwu’s men ambushed Sheng Yu Hospital. Fortunately, our defenses were already in place beforehand. Mrs. Mu is safe.”

Yan Jun was in awe of Yuan Xuan’s foresight.

Yuan Xuan turned his head and looked through the floor-length window. He saw the woman turn over on the large bed in the bedroom. He whispered, “Tell them not to mention this to the mistress.”

Yan Jun nodded and agreed. Yuan Xuan had personally picked the mistress up from work earlier tonight. He took her out to relax because he wanted to prevent her from thinking too much about such upsetting things.

Dawn broke, and the exhausted woman woke up to Yuan Xuan pressing light kisses on her lips.

She opened her eyes and met his dark pupils. His eyes were like two deep and ancient ponds in which steady undercurrents surged. He resembled a perfectly satisfied person who was filled with happiness.

“Let’s return to Luo Hai…”

“Don’t you want to stay a little longer? You’ve been working so hard these few days. I hate seeing you so exhausted.”

Yuan Xuan’s voice was deep and affectionate.

Mu Chenyan actually liked this quiet place very much. However, she feared that Yuan Xuan would ravish her completely if they hid here as if they were Adam and Eve.

“What about your work?”

“I’m the boss!”

“You’re an irresponsible, greedy boss who only cares about himself then!”

Yuan Xuan was about to fasten the buttons on his white shirt, but his hands paused when he heard Mu Chenyan’s retort.

This woman was already arguing with him when her eyes could barely open themselves. He sighed. “It seems like the mistress still has some energy to spare.”

Mu Chenyan realized that she had landed in hot water when he said that…

The man’s warm lips touched hers in an instant…

Mu Chenyan moved her head away in a failed attempt to hide from him.

This man had an endless supply of stamina. It seemed as though she could never fulfill his needs.

…

It was almost noon when Mu Chenyan finally managed to escape from Yuan Xuan.

She did not have to report to the police department today since it was a weekend. Nonetheless, the major crimes department’s staff were still busy with other cases aside from Yuan Zhe’s case.

Mu Chenyan glanced at her phone and noticed that she had one missed call from Su Qingcheng.

An ominous feeling rose in her heart. She returned the call immediately.

“Chenyan, where are you?”

Su Qingcheng’s tone was slightly frantic.

“What happened?”

Mu Chenyan grabbed her clothes and put them on just as Yuan Xuan came out of the bathroom. He asked, “Aren’t you going to take a shower? You’re still drenched in sweat.”

Su Qingcheng understood what was going on when she heard Yuan Xuan’s voice through the phone. A faint smirk appeared on her face. “Did I intrude on a private moment?”

“It’s over…”

The words escaped Mu Chenyan’s mouth before realized that it was a trap. “Hurry up and tell me what’s going on. Don’t change the subject.”

“Zheng Shuyan surrendered himself to the police. Do you want to come over and take a look?”

*

Mu Chenyan was not entirely surprised by this conclusion.

Zheng Shuyan was not a stranger to her. She was also aware of his feelings toward Wen Ya. His motives to commit this murder were so apparent.

Mu Chenyan’s heart ached still. This abnormal feeling left her confused.

Inside the major crimes department’s interrogation room, the man was dressed in white from head to toe. He was as proper, elegant, and composed as always.

Zheng Shuyan’s calm demeanor allowed him to remain poised in situations like these.

Mu Chenyan looked at the man through the monitor. It seemed as though she had been transported back in the past.

She saw a younger Zheng Shuyan standing beside Wen Ya. He was dressed in white as well, and his smile was incredibly bright.

However, fate was cruel. Who knew that Luo Hai’s renown orthopedic surgeon, an angel who had saved countless patients on the operating table, would become a murderer one day…

“I poisoned Yuan Zhe to death!”

Zheng Shuyan’s tone was indifferent. “I figured that it was time for me to confess because the investigations were almost complete.”

Wu Huai was interrogating him himself. He had been at this job for over a decade, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Unlike the average suspects, this man seemed to belittle everything. He was unbothered by his status as a murderer. His attitude showed that he was not in touch with reality.

There was not a slightest hint of panic on his handsome face.

“Mr Zheng, I hope you’re aware of the risks of giving a false statement. You’ll be forced to assume legal responsibility if that happens,” warned Wu Huai.

Wu Huai’s sense of justice was apparent on his stern face.

“I know.” Zheng Shuyan chuckled darkly. “Why would I be worried about being charged with giving a false statement when I’ve already killed someone?”

Wu Huai’s gaze were locked on Zheng Shuyan. “Tell us how you poisoned him.”

Zheng Shuyan gave a faint smile. “I assume that you’ve found the can of mint flavored sugar cubes by now?”

Wu Huai was stunned for a moment. Then, he asked in a low voice, “What sugar cubes?”

“I’ll show you where they are if you haven’t found them yet.”

Zheng Shuyan’s gaze shifted toward the surveillance camera. He said, “Wen Ya, I’m sorry.”

For some reason, Mu Chenyan’s heart felt as though it was being wrung dry.

“Tell us what happened!”

Wu Huai had always regarded Zheng Shuyan as someone who came prepared.

People like Zheng Shuyan handled their tasks with extreme caution and attentiveness.

“Weren’t there two servants who served Yuan Zhe in Peace Mansion?”

Wu Huai nodded when he heard this. One of the servants had already given her statement while the other one was said to be on leave. They could not locate her all this while.

“You don’t have to look for the other servant because I’ve handled everything for her already. You’ll never see her in Luo Hai again,” said Zheng Shuyan while a faint smile glimmered in his gaze.

“Her father was recently diagnosed with chronic leukemia, a terminal illness. It wouldn’t make any difference whether they treated him or not, but his daughter wanted to save him no matter what. However, she couldn’t afford it.

“I paid for the patient’s treatment out of my own pocket when I took him in. The girl wept tears of gratitude and asked how she could repay me.”

A sinister smile appeared in the corners of Zheng Shuyan’s eyes.

A lot of things made sense to Wu Huai after he heard that. “So you’ve known that she was the Yuan Family’s servant all along?”

“I’m just a doctor, not a god!” Zheng Shuyan leaned back against his chair when he said this. His posture remained elegant. “Of course I had another purpose in mind when I offered to pay for her father’s medical expenses!”

“What happened next?”

“I injected M36n into Yuan Zhe’s favorite mint flavored sugar cubes. After that, I gave it to the servant and told her to take it back with her.

Zheng Shuyan’s smile turned stranger and harder to read when he said this.

“M36n was a new lethal poison that I developed. It wasn’t clinically tested, but the results were rather satisfactory. Mr. Yuan Zhe was my lab rat!”
