Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You Chapter 287 – Mu Chenyan Pulled down Her Mask and Called Softly, “Mr Ye…”

The pale light of dawn broke through the darkness from the east. The woman woke up, realizing that she was nested in Yuan Xuan’s arms as docile as Little Ginger Fur Ball.

The air conditioning was at full blast, no wonder she kept curling up by him, her body trying to close the gap to search for warmth!

The things Yuan Xuan would do to take advantage of her…

“Are you awake?”

Yuan Xuan could feel his woman stirring and asked with his gruff voice.

“You must be so tired yesterday, sleep a little longer?”

Mu Chenyan was afraid when he does that.

Not only would she feel awkward, she would feel shy too.

She shook her head, not daring to use her voice.

Her voice was even coarser than his, what an embarrassment.

“I’ll get up first, I wanna go look at the cats.”

The moment the cats were brought up, Mu Chenyan immediately buried her face in the summer blanket.

Yuan Xuan’s lips curled into his signature bad-boy smile. What had he done in front of the two cats?

Mu Chenyan took her phone and looked at the time. She fell asleep for a while longer. When Yuan Xuan had returned from working out, he had some breakfast. By the time Mu Chenyan had gotten up, he had already finished cleaning up and prepared to go out.

“It’s Saturday, are you still working?”

Seeing Yuan Xuan’s outfit, Mu Chenyan asked curiously.

“I have a friend coming back from the UK, I’m going to Liu Li Villa!”

Yuan Xuan did not conceal his agenda.

Mu Chenyan ruminated a little. ‘A friend from the UK?’

Liu Li Villa!

She did not answer. Whatever Wu Ze had told her, she did not confirm with Yuan Xuan.

After the weather heated up, Mu Chenyan became lethargic and lost appetite, so Ah Fu made the breakfast really light. She had had quite a bit to eat before Yuan Xuan left with satisfaction.

The conspiratorial brain of Mu Chenyan had already started getting uneasy.

Yuan Xuan did not bring her, but he did promise to ask Sister Liu for some fresh fruits and vegetables.

Mu Chenyan felt strongly that the friend from the UK might be Shen Muqiu!

The ringing of a phone had disrupted Mu Chenyan’s thought pattern.

“Yuan Tian? Are you not working today?”

Seeing the caller ID, Mu Chenyan addressed Yuan Tian lightly, “I miss you!”

“If you miss me, come on over quickly. I have good news!”

Yuan Tian’s secretive tone caused Mu Chenyan to bounce from her couch. “Did you manage to gain access to that special ward?”

…

Mu Chenyan rushed to the military hospital. As soon as she had parked and exited the garage, she saw Yuan Tian waiting for her at the lift.

She grabbed Mu Chenyan and dragged her to her own restroom. She threw her a set of nurse uniform. “Change, and later follow the doctor doing his rounds. When the guard at the entrance asks, don’t speak. I’ve arranged everything with the doctor, he’ll do the answering!”

Mu Chenyan received the uniform, feeling excitement and nervousness gather in her.

The political spies in the TV series or even Liu Haoran in Detective Chinatown (TN: A 2015 Chinese film) have done something like this…

“Don’t let my dad or my brother know about this, they’d kill me.”

Yuan Tian exaggerated a little, she had done much worse than this, never once was she even beaten…

“Got it.” After changing, Mu Chenyan wore her surgical mask and nurse cap in front of the mirror. She turned around and asked, “Do other nurses wear masks?”

She felt even more exposed the more she tried to hide her identity, it was weird.

Yuan Tian was tickled by the question. “The only nurse following is you, who cares if the others are wearing masks!”

It looked like Yuan Tangshuo was pretty strict on the privacy.

“Normally, nurses won’t be necessary, only the attending physician would be present. However, Ye Kun accidentally hurt his waist and got a steel plate attached to him. Today’s the day to remove it, so he needs an assistant.”

Yuan Tian tidied up Mu Chenyan’s collar. “Don’t worry, just go in, have a look. I heard the patient is super tight-lipped, almost nobody has heard him speak.”

Mu Chenyan nodded. She had not even thought of a reason why she needed to see Ye Kun…

However, Zhao Yanni’s sudden “feud” with him and her leaving a suicide note addressed to her were very confusing, Mu Chenyan wanted to unravel the mystery.

After leaving Yuan Tian’s restroom, Mu Chenyan followed Yuan Tian to the quarantine area.

Zheng Shuyan was waiting at the entrance. His white robe fluttered, accentuating his coolness.

Mu Chenyan’s footsteps faltered slightly. She asked Yuan Tian, “He’s Zheng Shuyan?”

Yuan Tian was startled, “You know him?”

Mu Chenyan nodded. “He’s my college mate and used to pursue Wen Ya…”

Mu Chenyan did not know if she should be saying this to other Yuan Family members. Yuan Xuan did not care, and among the Yuan Family, except Wen Ya, only she herself knew of this.

Zheng Shuyan was not a Luo Hai citizen. He could have stayed on to study after graduating, but he chose to come to Luo Hai, and even got himself admitted into the staff of Yuan Tangshuo’s military hospital. Not even Mu Chenyan knew about this.

“Whoa! No wonder Doctor Zheng is such a rejecter. He’s still not letting go of Wen Ya!”

Yuan Tian was a little excited. “Honestly though, Wen Ya would be much happier if she married him, as compared to marrying the Demon Yuan! Doctor Zheng is handsome and cultured, if you didn’t mention this, I would’ve teased the Big White Bunny out of him!”

As she said that, Yuan Tian smiled deviously.

Uh…

Was the “Demon Yuan” Yuan Tian spoke of, Yuan Zhe?

Also, what’s with Yuan Tian and her obsession of seeing all men as Little White Bunnies?

Spotting Yuan Tian from far, Zheng Shuyan waved his arm lightly.

Yuan Tian immediately changed her demeanor. She suppressed her urge to tease the Big White Bunny and greeted him politely, “Doctor Zheng, thank you for your help. This is the one, please bring her in!”

Zheng Shuyan perused the clear-eyed woman with a mask and was surprised. He asked with a low voice, “Mu Chenyan?”

“What a crisp recognition skill, Doctor Zhengƒ. You even recognized me in a mask, it’s been so long.”

Mu Chenyan offered her hand. Zheng Shuyan hesitated and shook her hand lightly, saying, “Really, it’s been so long!”

It may be due to his knowledge of Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya’s relationship, Zheng Shuyan was a little uncomfortable. However, he quickly recovered his usual composure and instructed Mu Chenyan, “Don’t take too long. I don’t want Dean Yuan to find out that I broke his trust.”

Mu Chenyan nodded in understanding. Her being here was purely for fun, while they were here to earn their living.

As the guard saw Zheng Shuyan bringing a nurse, he did stop them to interrogate. However, Yuan Tian already instructed that Zheng Shuyan would handle everything.

After passing the check, Mu Chenyan exhaled in relief. The quarantine zone was set up specifically for Ye Kun, there were three checkpoints. Ye Kun had almost recovered, but due to his amputation, he had trouble moving about.

When the care workers were resting, he wanted some water to drink and accidentally fell off his wheelchair and hurt his waist.

Zheng Shuyan asked Mu Chenyan for help removing the steel plate from Ye Kun. Mu Chenyan saw that the man on the wheelchair was frail and sickly, his life experience showing between his brows.

The body in the wheelchair was so stiff, he could not control himself. In the whole time that Zheng Shuyan detached the steel plate and gave him check-up, he had not spoken a word, his gaze drooping.

Mu Chenyan felt as if she was stabbed by a sword. This quinquagenarian man must have had it rough, or he would not have left so many scars on his body, yet still continuing to endure.

Zheng Shuyan nudged Mu Chenyan with his gaze before he left.

Mu Chenyan pulled down her mask and called softly, “Mr Ye…”

Ye Kun looked as if he was electrocuted. He slowly lifted his head. His voice was croaky, as if he had just emerged from an otherworldly tomb (TN: A reference to a well-known Chinese Wuxia novel, in which the protagonist met his teacher in a tomb). “Xiao Mei? Is that you?”
