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

She thought of Wen Ya, a woman who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood in her own home, only to suffer such cruel abuse after being married into the Yuan Family.

“They’re truly a real life example of the saying ‘a beautiful woman who married an incompetent husband is like a flower stuck in dog poop’.” Yuan Tian continued to grumble but the words that she blurted out had amused Mu Chenyan.

“People usually say ‘cow dung. Why must you always be different from everyone else?” Yuan Tian rubbed her little nose and furiously scoffed, “Cow dung still contains some nutrients so the flower won’t suffer that much when it absorbs the manure. However, my eldest brother is so sh*tty that he’s worse than cow dung. Hence, he’s a pile of dry and useless dog poop!” Mu Chenyan laughed and thought to herself about how she was most comfortable when she was with Yuan Tian. As she chatted with Yuan Tian, the gloominess that had persistently plagued her mind today seemed to fade away.

She soon found a place to sit down in the garden with Yuan Tian because she wanted to understand Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe’s situation better.

“That’s right, since you said that Wen Ya was already pregnant when they got married, what happened to that child?” Mu Chenyan had always been concerned about this matter but had never been able to bring it up. Ever since she returned to the Yuan Family, Wen Ya had maintained a lukewarm relationship with her. Thus, it was impossible for her to ask Wen Ya directly about the child.

Yuan Tian became even more furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her slim little waist before she loudly cursed, “I wasn’t so mad before you mentioned this, but my idiot eldest brother caused her to lose it! It was something like… the sex was too strenuous…”

Yuan Tian looked slightly embarrassed when she inwardly cussed at him another hundred times. He was really an embarrassment to the men of the Yuan Family.

“Sex was too strenuous?”

Mu Chenyan quietly repeated the words. Her heart faintly trembled when she recalled that terrifying night with Yuan Xuan.

How rough was it? His wife was already pregnant yet he still…

Mu Chenyan felt that Wen Ya did not deserve this. He was only concerned with satisfying his own desires, and did not care about his wife at all. Why had Wen Ya initially chosen a man like Yuan Zhe who resembled the devil?

“Did Wen Ya and your eldest brother previously spend a lot of time together? How did she suddenly become pregnant with his child?”

“I’m not too sure either as I also only discovered this when I overheard my parents’ private conversation. There were some problems in Wen Ya’s family’s company. Since one of Second Uncle’s students had pull in the Public Security sector, Wen Ya’s parents pleaded Second Uncle for Brother Yuan Zhe to marry her.” Yuan Tian spoke with ease, but these two sisters-in-law were well aware of the nuances of the situation. It was likely that Wen Ya’s parents had exchanged their daughter for finances.

Nonetheless, it was a pity that Wen Ya was not treated well once Yuan Zhe had gotten hold of her. It was truly unfortunate for this beautiful and intelligent woman.

Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian spoke for a while before she felt slightly exhausted. After the two of them parted ways, Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden.

Yuan Xuan had recently been preoccupied because the corporation was doing their internal year-end summary as well as preparing their budget for the new year.

Despite this, he would still frequently return and accompany her for meals. He would sometimes also embrace her at night and kiss her when he was aroused. However, he was extremely restrained. During their affectionate moments, he would say some simple and loving things, but nothing more. This was difficult for an arrogant person like him.

When Mu Chenyan thought of Yuan Tian’s interpretation, she agreed with some of her views. In comparison to Yuan Zhe’s brute nature, Yuan Xuan could truly be considered as a good person.

Mu Chenyan laughed bitterly while she considered her options. If what her brother said was true, this “good person” was acting really well.

However, Mu Chenyan still kept a sliver of trust in Yuan Xuan deep within her heart.

She did not distrust Mu Chenwu’s words, but she did not fully believe them either.

It would truly be difficult to find someone who understood Yuan Xuan better than her. After all, she had loved him for more than a decade…

One reason why Mu Chenyan had promised her brother that she would return to the Yuan Family and continue living undercover there was because she wanted to calm him down and prevent him from acting impulsively. If Mu Chenwu was genuinely willing to fight the Yuan Family to the death as he had said, not only was his grand scheme destined to fail, he would also lose his life in the process!

Since she had already lost everything, she was unwilling to gamble her brother’s life away as well.

In any case, revenge was not a matter solely restricted to her brother. After all, she had the blood of the Mu Family flowing through her veins as well.

On one hand, she wanted to give Yuan Xuan another chance. She planned to act at the right moment to obtain proof from the Yuan Family about that previous incident because she was frankly, unwilling to believe that Yuan Xuan was such a heartless person.

As for the situation that her brother mentioned, she had not experienced it first-hand. Moreover, her father had supported her throughout the course of her relationship with Yuan Xuan and was very accepting of it.

The woman who had gone to hell and back was no longer the innocent little girl of the past. She had learned to use reason to objectively view every situation.
