Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You Chapter 313 – Mu Chenyan Anxiously Lowered Her Head When the Words “Brother Xuan” Escaped Her Lips

Even in death, an evil person like Yuan Zhe still managed to drag Zheng Shuyan down with him.

Mu Chenyan was torn when she thought of Wen Ya.

Yuan Zhe’s death was supposed to give Wen Ya a second chance at love. However, Zheng Shuyan was in deep trouble now. Mu Chenyan thought, ‘What would Wen Ya do now?’

A frail woman threw herself on Mu Chenyan when she left the police department. She grabbed Mu Chenyan with her little hands. “Chenyan, did Zheng Shuyan really turn himself in?”

Mu Chenyan was shocked when she realized that this woman was Wen Ya. She noticed the hopeful look in Wen Ya’s eyes. Wen Ya desperately wanted Mu Chenyan to refute these claims.

“Wen Ya, let’s… Let’s go home!”

Mu Chenyan dragged Wen Ya toward the parking lot.

“No!” Wen Ya pushed Mu Chenyan’s arm away. “That place has never been my home… How could Zheng Shuyan kill somebody… He’s such a kind person. You’ve wrongly accused him… I killed Yuan Zhe so the police should arrest me instead. Zheng Shuyan would never kill anyone…” said Wen Ya tearfully.

She lunged toward the police department.

Mu Chenyan noticed that Wen Ya was extremely emotional. She rushed over and held her. “Wen Ya, calm down!”

Wen Ya had trouble eating ever since her husband’s murder. She threw up anything she ate. Her fragile body continued to grow weaker as she was unable to consume food.

She could not break away from Mu Chenyan’s grasp.

“Chenyan, let me go. I need to see Zheng Shuyan… I must tell him that… I love him…”

Wen Ya wailed loudly. She spared no effort to struggle past Mu Chenyan.

Mu Chenyan kept a tight grip around Wen Ya’s waist and refused to let go. “Wen Ya, relax. I’m going to see Wu Ze… He’s the best lawyer in Luo Hai. He’ll fight for Zheng Shuyan…”

Wen Ya wept pitifully. Tears streamed down her eyes. She had almost freed herself from Mu Chenyan’s grip during their physical scuffle.

Wen Ya stopped crying when she heard what Mu Chenyan had said. “Chenyan, is that true? Would Wu Ze really do that?”

Mu Chenyan knew about Wu Ze and Yuan Xuan’s personal relationship. Frankly, she was unsure whether Yuan Xuan would insist on taking the Yuan Family’s side.

Mu Chenyan would be forced to constantly pester Wu Ze if Yuan Xuan disagreed with her.

“Don’t worry, Wen Ya. I’ll do everything I can. I’ll ask Wu Ze for help. Zheng Shuyan’s case will be filed for a public prosecution. Don’t act rashly because it’ll upset Zheng Shuyan…”

Mu Chenyan stroked Wen Ya’s messy hair while she spoke. Her heart ached terribly when she saw that Wen Ya’s miserable little face was stained with tears.

“Chenyan, I’ll leave this to you then…”

Wen Ya sobbed before she following Mu Chenyan into her car obediently.

Mu Chenyan called Tian Qi and asked him to come over to drive Wen Ya’s car back.

…

Hibiscus Garden…

Yuan Xuan noticed the gloomy expression on Mu Chenyan’s face when she returned home. The woman’s complexion was looking well after they had soaked in the hot springs together, but she looked completely worn out now. She even chased Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet away when they came over to play with her. She looked very troubled.

News of the murderer’s surrender reached the Yuan Family Mansion in the afternoon. Yuan Xuan guessed that his wife was probably upset because of this. He recalled that Mu Chenyan and Wen Ya were good friends.

“He must pay for the murder with his life. It’s useless for you to get so upset about it.”

Yuan Xuan brought Mu Chenyan a blueberry flavored yogurt drink. He inserted the straw and passed it to her.

Mu Chenyan took it from him. She pressed it against her lips and took a sip. The cool sensation and sweet taste instantly made her feel slightly better.

“Yuan Xuan, would you stop me if I asked Wu Ze to represent Zheng Shuyan in court as his lawyer?”

Mu Chenyan wanted to know Yuan Xuan’s position in this matter.

Yuan Xuan was seated on the other side of the sofa. There was a lot of space between him and Mu Chenyan.

He crossed his legs and held a cigarette between his fingers. Taking a small puff, he exhaled out ring after ring of smoke. He remembered soon that Mu Chenyan did not like it when he smoked, so he snubbed out the cigarette on the ashtray right away. He murmured, “I’m sorry. I forgot that Mistress hates it when I do this!”

Mu Chenyan was secretly amused. This man obviously pretended to be terrified of his wife, but who would have thought that he would look so good while he was at it?

“We’ll have to see what Wu Ze thinks. I’m fine as long as he agrees to take on the job.”

Yuan Xuan’s tone was indifferent. “I’ll let Mistress arrange everything.”

Mu Chenyan was a bit shocked. A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes as she looked at Yuan Xuan. “This means that you’re supporting my decision to go against the Yuan Family…”

Yuan Tangzhong would definitely think that she was betraying the Yuan Family if she went and hired Luo Hai’s best lawyer for Zheng Shuyan.

“Yes. Don’t worry, I’ll settle everything with the Old Mistress. She won’t even think of getting in your way.”

The man narrowed his eyes as he spoke. A smile appeared on his handsome face. It looked like he was taking credit for Mu Chenyan’s work. He was seemingly asking his wife to hurry up and praise him…

Mu Chenyan was could not help but be moved by his words. “Brother Xuan, you… Why are you so nice to me?”

Mu Chenyan lowered her head frantically when the words “Brother Xuan” escaped her lips. Her cheeks were flushed, and her heart was beating rapidly.

She would only refer to him this way when she was feeling emotional. However, she was perfectly fine earlier. Something must have riled her up and caused her to react this way.

This affected Yuan Xuan as well. His entire body turned limp when he heard her gentle calling. This woman was becoming more and more adorable. Yuan Xuan recalled her cold demeanor when she was just released from prison. He had previously assumed that his Little Chenyan would never be the same ever again…

The man leaned toward her. He reached over to the other side of the sofa and pulled his wife into his arms.

Mu Chenyan felt the scorching heat radiating off his chest when she leaned into his embrace. She saw his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down when she lifted her head. His eyes were also filled with anticipation. Mu Chenyan buried her face in his chest.

“Silly girl. Who else am I supposed to be nice to if not to you?”

The stubble on Yuan Xuan’s chin grazed against the top of Mu Chenyan’s head.

“You are too kind to me…”

Mu Chenyan wondered what their relationship would be like if it was not marred by misunderstandings and arguments. Would they be a couple that everyone else envied?

“You’re right. You must’ve saved the universe in your previous life. That’s why God sent me here to reward you!”

“Pfft…” Mu Chenyan could not help but laugh when Yuan Xuan said those silly things with a straight face. She nuzzled her round and fuzzy head closer to his chest.

“What’s so funny? Do you think I’m lying?”

Yuan Xuan rarely made jokes, but this one seemed rather effective. This woman looked very happy.

“No, it’s not that I don’t believe you. I just felt that everything feels too good to be true now.”

Mu Chenyan paused. Yuan Xuan accidentally tickled her with his large hands when he was caressing the stray hairs beside her ear. Mu Chenyan wrapped her little hands around his waist tightly. She longed to spend the rest of her life like this.

“I’m afraid that I’ll wake up one day and this dream will end. Everything will vanish into thin air, including you…”

Mu Chenyan knew that she was only saying these things because she had been there to witness all the misfortunes that had happened between Zheng Shuyan and Wen Ya.

Yuan Xuan was unaware of that. He merely assumed that she knew something that he did not.

“Little Chenyan, please remember that I’ll love you no matter what happens! It has always been this way!”

Yuan Xuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. His large hands tightened themselves around her as though he was afraid that she would leave.

This was the first time Mu Chenyan heard him said that he loved her. The corners of her eyes dampened…

Their love had never come easily.
