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

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Feng Rao crawled up from the ground. When she looked at Mu Chenyan's figure from the back, the onlookers could not see her resentful gaze but Wen Ya saw it in full view.

After gently sighing, Wen Ya turned around and loudly said to the everyone, "The banquet has already started. Old Mistress is resting in the back hall but she'll come out and greet everyone soon. Everyone can just make themselves at home for now."

Everyone quickly dispersed and formed small circles to discuss their favorite topics.

Whereas Yuan Xuan walked towards Shao Yibai instead.

When Yu Lingyun and Zhou Xianer saw how Yuan Xuan had made things difficult for Feng Rao, they became worried that Mu Chenyan would take it to heart that they cooperated with Feng Rao earlier. Thus, they anxiously followed her into the washroom as well.

…

Mu Chenyan briefly fixed her makeup in the washroom. When she looked at herself in the mirror, a shocked expression appeared on her face for quite some time!

This woman, was this her?

She was still bewitching where she could excite others while her exquisite looks were as enchanting as before. Moreover, she was still seductive in many ways while her slender and pretty figure…

However, the soul inside this body was no longer as ignorant or pure as a young girl's heart anymore…

Mu Chenyan's gaze seemed like a rippling flood but the whirlpool that was secretly surging in the depths of her heart would not overflow.

However, this was not caused by the pain of being trapped during her time in prison. Conversely, this was due to the fact that her current feelings towards Yuan Xuan were no longer as pure as they were during those years!

Time was a ruthless knife, a sharp blade that cut open wounds to bleed without ceasing. Although she was already physically out of prison, Mu Chenyan felt that her heart was still locked in that prison cell that was devoid of a single ray of light…

…

"Oh, you're here, Chenyan!"

When Zhou Xianer pushed open the door to the washroom and saw Mu Chenyan absentmindedly looking at herself in the mirror, she eagerly approached her and did not appear to give her the cold shoulder anymore.

Yu Lingyun followed her while looking somewhat uncomfortable!

After all, this young lady who had not overstepped her bounds was not as shameless as Zhou Xianer. Earlier in the hall, she avoided her as if she was afraid that she would be infected by the plague. Now, however, she enthusiastically bounced over to her side!

Frankly, she was just afraid of the man who stood behind her.

Mu Chenyan was uncertain of their motives. She cautiously took a step backward and steadied her emotions as she glared at Zhou Xianer before she speaking in a cold tone, "Is something the matter, Mrs. Zheng?"

When Zhou Xianer saw that Mu Chenyan's overly chilly attitude, her gaze grew gloomy before she faintly drew back as well.

She had never expected that after being separated from Yuan Xuan for two years, the young socialite lady of the past would actually purify her heart and reduce her number of desires to this extent.

"Lingyun and I just wanted… just wanted to tell you that…"

"I don't care about how you treated me earlier!"

After listening to what they had said earlier, Mu Chenyan had guessed their intentions behind coming here. With a monotonous voice of indifference, she cut Zhou Xianer off!

Zhou Xianer awkwardly laughed and said, "It's just that we're all sisters so how could you actually be angry…"

"I wasn't your sister in the past and I'll never be your sister in the future!"

Mu Chenyan's had a shockingly low EQ, thus her sharp and cold words gave Zhou Xianer and Yu Lingyun no place to hide themselves.

Neither of them could have imagined that the woman who was previously so harmless and seductively enchanting would say such rude and offensive words.

"Mu Chenyan, what do you have to be proud about?

"The Mu Family has already fallen from the ranks of the aristocratic families. Do you still think that you're the number one socialite of the past just by relying on the status and background that Yuan Xuan gave you?"

Since she was still youthful, Yu Lingyun was confident in her beauty, family background, and good academic achievements. When she thought of how the outside world still perceived Mu Chenyan as the number one socialite even while she was imprisoned, she was extremely displeased.

Now that she had seen Mu Chenyan behaving in such an arrogant manner, she could not endure it anymore!

"Yuan Xuan spoiled his mistress that year before he got married and she even nearly gave birth to his child. You can't be certain that he won't repeat the same mistake again in the future!

"You should request numerous things to secure your position. Once you've become the wretched abandoned wife, I wonder if you'll still have anything to be proud of?"

Yu Lingyun spoke in a flustered manner. Her last two sentences were somewhat too sinister and extremely humiliating but Zhou Xianer did not even bother to stop her.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan sneered and said, "Is that true? That's what you're saying but I think that you should go and get plastic surgery to see if you can get Yuan Xuan to sleep with you. Once you've given him a son and daughter, then you can come and trample over me!"

Oh! How harsh!

Yu Lingyun and Zhou Xianer looked as if they had seen a ghost. They could not believe that the woman who stood before them was Mu Chenyan.

Mu Chenyan did not even give them a chance to respond. While they had yet to swallow their breaths and were still craning their necks and staring, she had already pushed open the washroom door and walked out.
