Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You Chapter 278

Mu Chenyan received Yan Jun's call saying that he was waiting for her at the entrance of her unit .

Mu Chenyan's curiosity was aroused . It was afternoon now . What trick was that man playing again?

Yan Jun saw Mu Chenyan coming out and noted the light makeup on her . He commented in his heart that Mistress was naturally born with good features . Even with such a simple makeup, her charm could bewitch anyone in a second, and she really stood out from the crowd .

Mu Chenyan had on her a white cotton T-shirt and long denim braces skirt with a pair of white shoes .

Her legs were lean and straight, and her back was upright . Her high ponytail swayed about, adding a sense of youthfulness . She was not in the socialite dressing she used to be, and this made people's eyes light up .

Yan Jun waved at Mu Chenyan . “Mistress, over here!”

Mu Chenyan glanced about . She did not want her colleagues to see her being picked up in a Bentley .

“Mistress, Young Master has asked me to pick you up for lunch . ”

Getting into the car, Yan Jun saw that Mu Chenyan had fastened her seatbelt and smilingly said .

Yuan Xuan was very mindful . Presumably, it was because yesterday she had remarked that she was not eating well, hence this man came up with such an idea .

The bellyful of exasperation she was filled with from the morning had made Mu Chenyan lost her appetite, hence she just let Yuan Xuan did whatever he wanted .

Yuan Xuan made reservations in a restaurant that served Hong Kong cuisine . The food here had a lighter taste, and the environment was elegant .

On the water stage in the corner of the restaurant, the saxophonist was playing a loving and melodious tune, while soft lights shone on the corner of the restaurant .

This was a couple-seat . The table was draped with a light yellow tablecloth, and there was a bouquet of roses on it .

The unopened bottle of wine was shimmering with a captivating reflection of light…

Yuan Xuan seemed to have waited for some time . His forehead leaned against his hand, showing off his slender and fair fingers with its distinct joints . His head was lowered and his eyes shut .

Mu Chenyan approached him, but her heart was beating fast .

Having known him for more than ten years, she had never received any flowers from him .

Is the bouquet of flamboyant roses for her?

“Why are you still standing there?” “Did Mistress think that I was waiting for someone else?”

Yuan Xuan looked up and saw Mu Chenyan coming closer and noted the thoughts she had, which was written all over her face .

He took the bouquet of roses, smelled it, and used an apologetic tone . “Mistress wouldn't mind this bouquet of roses having come too late, would you?”

Mu Chenyan hated that he could see through everything yet still maintained the bearing of a gentleman, spouting those mild but coquettish words .

However, she also could not refuse such a 360-degree, handsome-looking man being romantic for no particular reason .

“The manner that Mr Yuan is in, is it a belated marriage proposal?”

She pulled out the chair and took her seat . Accepting the flowers from Yuan Xuan's hands, the corner of Mu Chenyan's lips raised as she smiled ironically .

What she had said was not wrong . In fact, back then, he had not proposed to her but had only mentioned it to Mu Feng . She had felt ecstatic and was preparing to be his Mistress . Even the various wedding decorations were all planned and done by her .

“What Mistress said really makes me feel ashamed . ” “If this were a real proposal, with such a small ostentatious, I think Mistress won't say yes . ”

While speaking, Yuan Xuan smiled and gestured to the waiter by the side to bring the wine opener .

Although there was no proposal and no grand wedding, that did not change her fate of being pressed down by him every night . What was the point in thinking of a marriage proposal?

Mu Chenyan blushed slightly . Taking the wineglass that Yuan Xuan had passed to her, she clinked her glass against his . “Shouldn't Mistress say something?”

Yuan Xuan paused as his lips touched the glass . Mu Chenyan's face reddened and had no idea where Yuan Xuan was heading .

“I've been waiting on Mistress to sleep day and night . There may not have been any commendable outcome but at least there was the effort . Mistress should at least give an acknowledgment?”

Yuan Xuan said with a straight face as if the one who had been at a disadvantage every night was him .

Mu Chenyan was speechless and gave him a cold snort . “Huh!”

Yuan Xuan was not irked, and he continued with his gentle and modest bearing . He lowered his voice, and his magnetic voice sounded . “Looks like I've not managed to satisfy Little Chenyan?” “How about Hubby tries again tonight?”

His eyes were filled with a tantalizing fire with a sinister aura, causing Mu Chenyan to be short of breath . Biting on her lips, she cursed under her breath, “You're always spouting nonsense . Are we still going to eat or not?”

Initially, her appetite was not good on her way here . Now that she was amused by him, her mood had greatly improved .

“What Mistress said is exactly right . ” “Let's feast . ” The man's bearing was elegant as he motioned to the waiter .

Yuan Xuan had ordered all the restaurant's specialty dishes . In just a while, a dozen dishes were placed in front of Mu Chenyan, and she was dumbfounded . Fortunately, the portion of Hong Kong dishes was not huge, but even so she would not be able to finish all of them!

“Mistress can try a little of everything . We can have them packed up and brought back if Mistress can't finish . Ah Fu also likes the food here . ”

As he spoke, Yuan Xuan began to peel the shrimp shell, dip the shrimp into the sauce, and give it to Mu Chenyan .

The food tasted good and the texture was smooth . Mu Chenyan felt that they were sumptuous, and as she ate, she was also sneaking a peek at Yuan Xuan .

He was not eating much, and the expression revealed through his eyes was the kind of tender affection he had when feeding Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet!

He was caring for her like a cat!

After lunch, Mu Chenyan felt that she had eaten too much .

Her belly bulged, her stomach was warm, and her heart did not feel that downcast anymore .

She was not allowed to publish the article, but she would coax and pester when she returned and think of another way .

“Little Chenyan, what's bothering you?”

Yuan Xuan asked all of a sudden .

During the entire time, she was eating absentmindedly, not as aggressive as Little Ginger Fur Ball would .

“Nothing . ” “Just a tiny issue at work . ”

Mu Chenyan's expression changed . She did not know whether she should tell Yuan Xuan about it . The case she was following this time might implicate Yuan Tangzhong .

That was his second uncle after all . Although for the time being, Yuan Tangzhong was not directly connected to it but judging by the circumstance, if the Yuan Family had not used force, it was impossible that there would be pressure coming from various parties .

Yuan Xuan smiled . “Mistress has placed too much importance on your work . ” “Mistress needs to get enough rest too, striking a proper balance between work and rest . There's always a turning point in everything . If you need my help…”

“No, thanks . ” Mu Chenyan hurriedly cut him short .

If she were to involve him in all her affairs, what would her colleagues thought of her?

“Then I'll have Yan Jun send you back . ”

Yuan Xuan's tone was bland . Taking the flower in one hand and holding the woman's waist in another, he whispered, “Shao Yibai discovered a good place to go to . He took Miss Su there to experience it and had great sentiments upon returning . Should we go and give it a try too after your menstruation is over?”

Mu Chenyan had no idea where did Shao Yibai took Su Qingcheng to, but looking at Yuan Xuan's face, she could guess that that Young Master from Capital City must have gotten his fill and boasted about it .

No wonder Su Qingcheng applied for sick leave this morning!

“Huh!” “Your brain is just filled with lust…” Mu Chenyan gritted her teeth as she looked at the man before her smirking, and she felt a little annoyed…

After he had sent Mu Chenyan off, Yuan Xuan sat in his own Koenigsegg . This high-performance Koenigsegg sports car had been with him for many years .

Picking up the phone, Yuan Xuan dialed a number .

On the other side, Yan Jun watched Mistress entering the office building hastily .

When Zhang Xin noticed that Mu Chenyan was back and that there was a bouquet of roses with her, he was despondent .

The young fellow dared not ask questions but only glanced at Mu Chenyan from the corner of his eyes as he sighed in his heart . How could this kind of woman have no pursuers?

He had been thinking too naively .

If he could perceive her beauty, the others were not blind too .

Half an hour later, Mu Chenyan's phone rang .

Mu Chenyan frowned seeing Chief Editor Liu's name .

It was fine that he did not allow the article to be published, but why was he harassing her endlessly?

“Chief Editor Liu?” Mu Chenyan tried her best to keep a calm tone .

“Little Mu, that article of yours can be published in the late afternoon . Quickly edit the article and see if the content needs any more amendment . ”
