Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You Chapter 266

Yuan Xuan sent a text message to Tian Qi—Did Missus return to the Hibiscus Garden?

Tian Qi answered honestly, “Not yet . Missus and Miss Zhao went to the cafe, maybe colluding on something important…”

Even Tian Qi with a lack of literary knowledge had used the word “colluding”!

Looks like the incident was not a simple one!

Yuan Xuan initially wanted to allow Mu Chenyan to do what she wants, but if it warrants “colluding”, would it turn things topsy-turvy?

With that in mind, Yuan Xuan took off from work an hour earlier to check out what the two women were doing!

'That blockheaded Tian Qi only knew how to fight…'

His silly words had put a faint smile on Yuan Xuan's face .

Both the faces of Mu Chenyan and Shu Qinger changed . This was especially apparent in Shu Qinger . When she thought about fighting with Mu Chenyan, she knew the dim-witted bodyguard would definitely put her in her place…

The two ladies looked at each other and thought, 'What red-faced?'

“I was just here to chat with Ruoxin . Why are you so interested in girls' talk? You even came all the way to spoil our fun!”

Mu Chenyan muttered softly, seemingly blaming him, but also partially seeking affection .

Yuan Xuan did not speak, he only increased the strength he was exerting through his shoulder . He pulled her closer with a hint of overbearingness in his eyes . 'Can't I come over to have a look?'

Seeing how Yuan Xuan was hugging Mu Chenyan, Qinger's fingers on the tabletop clutched a little tighter . She could see Yuan Xuan's possessiveness in its entirety .

Mu Chenyan struggled a little, but she could not break free of his dictatorial aura .

She had just drunk a cup of coffee . If he continued with the same strength, would the coffee in her stomach spout out like a fountain?

“Keep moving, see if I'll do you right here and now?”

Yuan Xuan kept his voice low, whispering in Mu Chenyan's ear with a volume only the both of them could hear . His warm breath tickled mysteriously against her ear .

He would not have sex with her immediately, but his words of threat still made her blush!

Mu Chenyan's face was red, and she had decided not to struggle anymore . She sat there obediently, but her hands were soon covered in sweat .

Seeing Yuan Xuan's obsessive gaze on Mu Chenyan, Shu Qinger could not help but feel a fit of jealousy that urged her to swallow her rival up!

“Brother Xuan…” mumbled Qinger, a swirl of tears filling up her eyes in denial . Ever since Yuan Xuan had entered, she had stashed her fierce side aside and only had her soft and obedient look on .

It was said that love makes people crazy, this Qinger was an icon of that . Her love for Yuan Xuan had led to her behavioral change, including becoming tolerant of another!

Mu Chenyan managed to witness Shu Qinger's change from a vicious poisoner into a poor girl-next-door all within the matter of seconds…

“What can we talk about, it's all gossips within the family! Chenyan, tell me about your time in the UK…”

At that point, Shu Qinger paused deliberately as she waited for Yuan Xuan's reaction .

Mu Chenyan's time in the UK? That was a story shared with Qinger!

The curve in Yuan Xuan's mouth was cold and calculative, his beautiful eyes were glazed with a chilly glint as if he was waiting for Zhao Ruoxin to confess everything!

For a moment, Mu Chenyan wondered if she was too naive . Maybe Yuan Xuan had already found out for quite a while?

“Ruoxin, you're interested in the things that happened in the UK as well?”

He asked lightly, gracefully, nobly, as if he was not moved at all by the revelation of her intention .

That was the face he puts on for anyone else .

Only Mu Chenyan had seen Yuan Xuan cuddling with Little Ginger Fur Ball as he tried to feed it cat food…

“That's right, I'm very interested in Brother Xuan's story with Qinger!”

Shu Qinger could not control her feeling of being wronged, her tears were on the verge of rolling over onto her face .

She did not want the truth to come out at this time, in this manner . However, seeing Mu Chenyan's interaction with Yuan Xuan, why was this her ending after persevering for so many years?

'Brother Xuan, have you already forgotten about Qinger completely?'

“That was Qinger's past! If you wanted to hear about it, Ruoxin, there were plenty of chances to do so at the mansion . Moreover, there was not much sense in knowing that past . You look identical to Qinger, but you were totally different individuals!”

Yuan Xuan's words were so emotionless, it was almost an apathetic indifference .

He was warning the woman that even though they look alike, Zhao Ruoxin would never be Shu Qinger!

Shu Qinger was misty-eyed . Her fingers trembled against the table . “Does that mean that you care about Qinger? I don't mean to replace the Qinger in your memory, but I need to know something . If I tell you that I am Qinger, how would you treat me?”

Mu Chenyan felt Yuan Xuan's arm tightened around her!

Shu Qinger spoke decisively, “If I tell you that the woman who died three years ago was Zhao Ruoxin, and I am Shu Qinger, will you accept that your Qinger had been reborn?”

The three people had finally laid out all their cards on the table!

In that moment, Yuan Xuan's eyes were filled with galaxies, deep and expansive . His expression was calm to the point of being blank . For a split second, Mu Chenyan did not know what would cause his emotion to flicker!

“If Qinger is still alive, I'll be happy! I trust that grandmother will feel the same!”

It was too calm . Whether he knew the stories behind or not, that reaction was too heartless, too frigid .

“Yuan Xuan, you've been poisoned by this woman, you even forgot your promise to me!”

Shu Qinger's lips quivered, her tears sliding off her face uncontrollably .

Mu Chenyan was startled . 'His promise to her? What promise could that be?'

Yuan Xuan was still behaving coolly, his words were slowed to an extreme . “Qinger, I promised to take care of you for a lifetime, but I wasn't saying I am willing to be lovers with you . I have treated you like a sister, always, and forever!”

Saying that, he turned to look at Mu Chenyan, his cold demeanor layered with a hint of warmth . “There will only be one Mrs Yuan!”

Mu Chenyan was surprised at how aloofly Yuan Xuan had accepted Zhao Ruoxin's identity change to Shu Qinger!

When she had heard his emotional confession, her heart was frantic .

She looked at Yuan Xuan's profile and asked with a shaky voice, “You knew, didn't you?”

Hearing her question, Yuan Xuan sighed at his woman's adorable silliness!

“It doesn't matter if I knew . You, however, spent so much effort to reach this conclusion, you even went to City C to find out . And after you did, you tried so hard to hide it from me . You're so deeply distrustful about me, shouldn't I have accepted it silently?”

“Did you think that I would pounce at her and hold her in my arms? Did you think that would be a normal reaction for me?”

Mu Chenyan was speechless .

Mu Chenyan lowered her head and instantly felt that she was being petty…

She did worry about it . If Yuan Xuan knew Shu Qinger was still alive, would his love for her be rekindled?

Little Chenyan had made a mistake common to women—speaking with a forked tongue .

She had intentionally kept her distance from Yuan Xuan, but at the same time, she could not help being attracted by him . Sometimes, she had had calculative moments like this .

“If you aren't so…”

“I…”

Hearing Yuan Xuan call her out, Mu Chenyan had nothing to say about that .

Shu Qinger was extremelt defeated!

She pointed at Mu Chenyan, shaking . “Yuan Xuan, there was only her in your heart? Why was her not the one who saved you when you were in danger? If you didn't see that I was humiliated by those people, why are you giving me the cold shoulder?”

As she was saying that, Qinger started crying out of agitation .

Mu Chenyan was confused by the turn of events . However, in seeing Yuan Xuan's frigid face lined with guilt, she understood some things, causing her to shudder .

Yuan Xuan released Mu Chenyan and reached out to take Qinger's shivering hands to comfort her . Nowhere in this move had any sense of romance .

With a piercing look, he said, “Qinger, I remembered that you saved me . If I was disgusted by you, why would I have promised to take care of you for life?”

“I… want you… to marry me…” Qinger did not relent, her tiny hands tugging at Yuan Xuan's larger hands .

“Do you think that I'm… dirty…”
