Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You Chapter 320 – A Pair of Troubled Friends

Yuan Xuan patiently waited downstairs for almost an hour before he saw Shao Yibai walking out of the corridor in low spirits.

“Where is she?”

Shao Yibai usually had a commanding presence. Yuan Xuan could not fathom why he resembled a deflated ball now. He gave Shao Yibai a cigarette, then both of them leaned against his car and smoked

It was past 10 o’clock now. A young person jogged past and saw the two highly attractive men smoking as they stood in front of Yuan Xuan’s flashy Koenigsegg sports car. They nearly blinded him with their striking looks.

“She’s asleep! Su Qingcheng said that she could stay over tonight. She’ll send her home tomorrow. Don’t worry!”

Shao Yibai’s voice was hoarse. He was so dejected that he started coughing after taking just a few puffs of his cigarette.

He had no idea when the woman he loved had gotten pregnant and had a baby already.

Worse still, she said that the child had nothing to do with him.

Who was that child’s father?

Shao Yibai desperately wanted to rush over and get rid of that man!

How dare he vied for his woman? Shao Yibai would not tolerate this!

“What’s wrong?” Yuan Xuan knew that Shao Yibai was hiding something from him. Judging from Shao Yibai’s solemn expression, Yuan Xuan was certain that this involved Su Qingcheng.

However, this was not the first time he had experienced something like this. In fact, Shao Yibai was a veteran in this field. He should have gotten used to it much earlier.

“Su Qingcheng has a son!”

Shao Yibai’s heart was filled with indescribable pain when he said this. He flung the cigarette butt away and sat in Yuan Xuan’s sports car. He lamented, “She said that he isn’t my son!”

Damn, he was cuckolded!

No one would willingly accept this, much less Shao Yibai.

Yuan Xuan was unable to think of a way to console his friend at the moment.

“Let’s go. Cheer up, I’ll have a drink with you since my wife is not with me tonight too!”

Shao Yibai glanced at Yuan Xuan. This jerk was usually fond of putting him down, but he was rather kind now.

The car doors resembled beautiful arcs when the two men opened them. Dust trailed behind the car as it sped off into the horizon.

Blue Sea and Sky Clubhouse…

The pair of troubled friends sang together and drank heavily.

Shao Yibai usually had a high tolerance for alcohol, but he had a bit of a shock today. He already saw three heads on Yuan Xuan’s body after gulping down just a few glasses of red wine…

“Who do you think is the father of that little brat?”

Shao Yibai stretched his long legs out on the sofa and still managed to look attractive in this slouching position.

“Su Qingcheng is an enigma. She’d never tell the truth even after threatening her with death! I… Damn, I really want to… Oh well. Whatever, I know that I’m a f*cking cuckold but I refuse to give up!”

Shao Yibai’s deep voice choked up when he said this. He narrowed his beautiful eyes, and his long eyelashes glimmered for a second there. It seemed like there were tears in his eyes.

Yuan Xuan patted his shoulder. Shao Yibai had only been the one to make people cry all his life. It was obvious how much pain his heart was experiencing just by seeing how dejected he was right now.

“If that child was my son… I’d rush back to Capital City and make preparations for my wedding. I’d fight anybody who tried to stop me…

“I’d make a cage and lock that woman up inside if she ever tried to run away again…

“Frankly, it doesn’t matter whether that child is mine or not… As long as Daisy agreed… I’d marry her… I’d buy her a wedding dress sewn with the most beautiful jewels in the world… Wouldn’t it be nice if we could take our wedding pictures in Hawaii or Iceland?”

The pained expression lingered on his face as he said those words.

He was almost thirty years old, but this was probably the first time Shao Yibai had suffered such a terrible blow. Moments later, tears rolled down Mr. Shao’s face…

Sh*t! Shao Yibai could actually cry?

What happened to the saying that men should not shed their tears without restraint!

The next line actually went on to say that it was because he had not been hurt as much as he thought he was.

Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows as he listened. He allowed his thoughts to run wild. If Little Chenyan made him into a cuckold one day, he would…

No, no, no, that thought was too terrifying!

Yuan Xuan hurriedly erased this frightening idea from his mind.

Mu Chenyan would never do that. She belonged to him!

Shao Yibai continued to drink. In just a short while, he became so drunk that he completely lost his sense of self-awareness.

Yuan Xuan had no choice but to book a room for him. He instructed two servers to watch over him.

He still could not understand why Little Chenyan was avoiding him and why she would not want to go home.

The depressed man glanced at his phone again. His screensaver was a picture of Mu Chenyan with her palms pressed together, making a wish under a sky of fireworks…

The first ray of sunshine cascaded through the window at dawn and scattered all over the body of the woman who was sound asleep in bed.

The light yellow sheets of the bed made the room made the room felt warmer than it was.

Suddenly, Mu Chenyan was woken up by a cool little hand tapping her twice.

Her eyes jolted open and met a pair of pitch-black pupils staring down at her from above. The little boy with sparkling eyes and long eyelashes was incredibly adorable.

“Beautiful big sister, are you awake? You stole mommy away from me last night. She didn’t even get to put me to sleep.” said An An with a smile on his face. “But you’re so pretty, so I still like you staying at my house.”

Mu Chenyan clambered up from the bed. She rubbed her temples while her head continued to ache. Who was this little rascal?

Who was his mother?

Mu Chenyan scanned her surroundings and realized that they were completely foreign to her. How did she arrive here?

“Mommy, the beautiful big sister is awake!”

There were tiger heads on An An’s fluffy slippers. They slapped noisily against the floor as he ran outside and yelled.

“I’m coming. I’m coming!”

Mu Chenyan widened her eyes. She looked on in disbelief as Su Qingcheng ran out of the kitchen in an apron.

She kissed An An’s cheek tenderly and murmured, “Mommy made you breakfast. Granny Zhang will take you to school once you’ve eaten.”

An An nodded. His cute little face was tinted with red. When he turned around to look at Mu Chenyan, he looked slightly reluctant to leave. “Is beautiful big sister going to be here tonight?”

Su Qingcheng burst out laughing. Her son was perfect, but he had a weakness for women.

“Yes, mommy will invite her over to play since you like her so much. Also, you should call her ‘aunty’ and not ‘big sister’!”

Su Qingcheng was troubled by her son’s cheekiness. He referred to beautiful women as his big sisters because he wanted to decrease the age gap between them and himself. Meanwhile, he would only address the ugly ones as aunties!

Once, An An was playing downstairs when he saw an overweight woman in her thirties walking a large dog. An An ran over and called her an old lady when she allowed the big dog to poop wherever it liked…

An An nodded. “I know that I should call her ‘aunty’, but she’s prettier than most of the ‘big sisters’ I know. That’s why…”

“That’s why you should hurry up and finish your food before you go to school! Granny Zhang will take you to school first. Mommy will attend your parent-teacher conference later today once I’ve requested for leave.”

An An cowered in terror when Su Qingcheng plastered a stern look on her face. He tucked his tail between his legs and slipped away to the dining room to look for Aunty Zhang.

Su Qingcheng saw the dazed look on Mu Chenyan’s face as she sat on the bed. She realized that she could not hide this from her any longer. She straightened her apron and sighed. “I’m sorry, Chenyan. That’s my son, An An. He’s a naughty boy…”

“Does Shao Yibai know?”

Mu Chenyan’s initial response was to ask about Shao Yibai.

“This child…

“He’s not Shao Yibai’s son!”

Su Qingcheng had anticipated Mu Chenyan’s question. She avoided her gaze and replied queitly.
