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

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first time was when Mu Chenyan was taken away by the police. In order to protect the Yuan Family's reputation, the Yuan Family's elders wanted to break off the engagement, and this had enraged Yuan Xuan.

His two uncles and cousin brothers did not dare to offend this little overlord, so they engaged Old Mistress for the matter, but they did not expect that Yuan Xuan would not yield and had a manner of granting death to all who stood in his way!

The autocratic Old Mistress felt like she was looking at a stranger, the grandson whom she had personally brought up, having a fall out with her all because of a woman!

It was that time onwards that Old Mistress Yuan completely disliked Mu Chenyan.

Again, today at the banquet, Yuan Xuan protected the woman openly and discreetly, forgetting his Grandmother after marrying a wife…

"Xuan'er, after the banquet is over, have all the children of the Yuan Family to stay back, and let's have tea together!"

Yuan Xuan knew that Grandmother was still unhappy about the incident earlier on, so his attitude now was very humble. He tugged Grandmother's hand and said, "Alright. We haven't eaten together for quite some time indeed. I should have visited Grandmother at the Upper Mansion last weekend too."

"Ran Ran will only be here later. She has to take care of something in school, so she'll be late." Yuan Zhe applied a leave of absence for his sister.

Among the two girls in the Yuan Family, Grandmother favored Yuan Ran more. She was pretty and had a sweet mouth. Skillful in talking, she delighted Old Mistress, and so compared to Yuan Tian, Yuan Ran was favored a little more.

Yuan Zhuan was aware that he was the only one present from the third son's side. His sister, Yuan Tian, had followed their parents to attend a conference.

Although Grandmother was understanding, this was, after all, a family banquet. Yuan Tangshuo's family really had no excuse to be absent, causing Second Young Master, Yuan Zhuan, to be so scared that he did not dare to make a sound.

Old Mistress looked at the periphery and said to Yuan Xuan, "Later, have that lad from the Shao Family to stay back as well. He seem to have a steady nature, and his looks are very charming too. Ran Ran is not that young anymore, and since both of their backgrounds are rather similar, I'd like to introduce them to each other."

For the elders, it had become a habit for them to simply matchmake…

Yuan Xuan cast a meaningful gaze at Shao Yibai.

'This fellow mentioned that Grandmother had arranged something for me. The way I see it, it's you who will be having a hard time saving yourself, eh?' Yuan Xuan thought quietly in his mind.

The bevy of young girls approaching Shao Yibai had never stopped. Toasting one another, this man who was talking cheerfully and wittily, would make eye contact with Yuan Xuan from time to time as if he was asking, 'Mr Yuan, how's my charisma?'

This handsome and chic man had become the target of all the socialites and young girls at the banquet. His popularity seemingly overshadowed Wu Ze.

Aside from the few excellent married men, this kind of suitable-for-marriage young meat was promised to be popular wherever they went!

In fact, Wu Ze, on the other side, was not in a favorable situation as well. There would constantly be people coming up to him to have small talk with him.

Wu Ze was not an aloof man, but as he was not in a good mood this evening. He gave a cold face to the girls clustering around him and ignored all of them.

…

After a while, Chenyan changed into a comfortable evening dress and stepped back out. She was wearing a cherry pink short dress, and it complemented her fair and tender skin extremely well. The back of her dress was a thin layer of chiffon with sparkling diamond chips sewn on it. She looked extremely enchanting, even though she stayed quiet and said nothing, she still became the focus in the entire hall.

When she and Wen Ya appeared, everyone's gaze was attracted by the Yuan Family's third missus.

Even Wen Ya, who was by her side, had paled into insignificance…

Yuan Xuan saw that she was no longer having the earlier looks of being wronged, and his heart felt at ease.

Striding over, he embraced her. After a while, when no one was noticing, he lightly pecked her forehead and gently whispered, "You didn't want to be conspicuous tonight, but you have accidentally become the most beautiful one!"

Mu Chenyan was startled, and she glanced around, afraid that someone had seen that and felt exceedingly shy.

How could Yuan Xuan made such an intimate move in public?

Mu Chenyan's Three Worldviews (TN: a Chinese term comprising a person's conception of the world, the outlook of life, and values) was secretly renewed!

Her impression of Yuan Xuan had always to be a man to be observed from afar and not to be touched. It had always been her who had taken the initiative, shamelessly pestering the other despite never getting an affirmative response. But now, Yuan Xuan was taking the initiative to express his affections to her. Mu Chenyan was not accustomed to it at all…
