Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You-Chapter 232 - Why Was This Woman Displaying Irritating Expressions Every Day?

Wu Huai was dumbfounded. When the cunning man saw Yuan Xuan’s resolute expression, he inwardly understood him somewhat. He lowered his voice and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll solve Mrs Yuan’s issue.”

Yuan Xuan suddenly smiled faintly and his eyes darted outside. His deep and sonorous voice politely said, “Thank you for your trouble, Captain Wu!”

…

“Chenyan, come home with me?”

Yuan Xuan tugged at his sapphire-blue tie as he walked out of Wu Huai’s office. There was a warm smile on his handsome face when he looked at Mu Chenyan who was exiting the office.

This was one of the rare occasions when both of them encountered each other in a public place.

( Boxno vel. co m ) Mu Chenyan looked at the clock on the wall and ran her fingers through her hair to tidy it before she quietly said, “Work ends in 15 more minutes so you can go home first.”

Her expression was frosty while she used a professional and business-like tone.

It seemed as though she was not the fascinating, enchanting, and charming woman of many postures who laid underneath him every night…

Yuan Xuan understood her state of mind when he saw her indifferent expression. Although none of her colleagues were around, she was still maintaining a distance between him and herself.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you at the parking area then!”

Yuan Xuan restrained his tone and kept it as gentle as possible while the pupils in his dark eyes constricted.

“Up to you.” Mu Chenyan was feeling moody as well and clearly did not want to pay attention to him.

The woman took a pile of documents to the printing room. She did not even turn her head to glance at Yuan Xuan when she placed the documents into the photocopier.

It looked like this was not as simple as merely avoiding arousing her colleagues’ suspicion.

Yuan Xuan emitted icy chills throughout his entire body. Why was this woman displaying these irritating expressions every day?

Mu Chenyan could always maintain her composure while attacking him.

Yuan Xuan’s heart had been stifled in spite of the numerous things that happened these two days. He had never sarcastically spoken to her but this woman had struck first and was now throwing a tantrum?

Alright, if Mistress was energetic enough to kick up a fuss, her physical stamina should not disappoint too. She should be fine once she had exercised more to exhaust herself.

Yuan Xuan’s long legs stepped forward without stopping while a tinge of resentment formed in his heart.

Mu Chenyan quietly sighed in relief once she saw that he had left. However, the distractions in her heart still made her uneasy.

Huh! This man came here today to pick up Zhao Ruoxin.

Was he not occupied with numerous other matters every day?

Did he not have his secretary, assistant, and a lawyer?

He had gotten so many people involved for such a minor problem. When she thought of the misery that she felt when she was taken away at her own wedding, an aching sensation continuously stirred in Mu Chenyan’s heart although she had never felt jealous before…

Ruoxin and Tian Qi had a hard time seeing Yuan Xuan walk out of the office building after they waited at the parking area for half an hour. The woman rushed towards him with quicken footsteps. A troubled look was displayed across her entire face when she said, “Brother Xuan, they actually suspected me! I don’t even know how I offended anyone…”

Yuan Xuan’s eyebrows were furrowed slightly when he looked at Zhao Ruoxin. He comforted her in a soft tone, “It’s just the police’s routine procedure, don’t worry about it You should frequent the hospital these few days to accompany your mother more. Don’t worry about these things because I’m here.”

Zhao Ruoxin obediently nodded and repeatedly thanked him, saying, “Thank you, Brother Xuan. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you weren’t here today! Those police officers were really creating trouble on purpose when they came and interrogated me after merely listening to some rumors…”

Hearing her complaints, Yuan Xuan’s face was blank as his mind was not present.

He gazed in the direction of the office’s elevator. His heart was troubled as he kept thinking about Mu Chenyan’s icy manner.

…

Zhang Xin finished work at 5:15p.m. Before he left, he asked Mu Chenyan if she wanted to leave together.

As usual, Mu Chenyan politely turned down the enthusiastic young man, saying, “You go first. I’m going to tidy up the case’s progress. The editor said that this case can’t be swept under the carpet even if they tried to hide it so we can openly report it.”

Zhang Xin scratched his head, a disappointed expression shrouded his face when he thought of how Mu Chenyan was really untouchable although he had interacted with her for such a long time.

She would always politely pay for the snacks that he bought for her. Both of them rarely spoke to each other aside from discussing the usual work matters. When the conversation involved her personal life, Mu Chenyan would always divert it politely.

After spending time with her for several weeks, Zhang Xin’s heart became discouraged when he thought of how he had not discovered whether Mu Chenyan had a boyfriend or not. Furthermore, he had never seen this woman display any superfluous emotions either.

Although an extremely intelligent and icy beauty like herself did not act like a goddess, she was not merely an earthly mortal either.

A woman like her who had experienced real life could not be controlled by just anyone!

After another 20 minutes had passed, Mu Chenyan guessed that Yuan Xuan would not patiently wait an hour for her. She then took her backpack and prepared to leave after dawdling in the office for half a day.

She had just stepped toward the entrance of the elevator when she saw another familiar figure there.

Wu Ze looked as though he had waited for a long time. Seeing Mu Chenyan’s slim figure walking out from the side of the office with an enchanting aura, he strode over toward her. Several shrouds of smoke were still rising from the cigarette butt that the man had just only stubbed inside the ashtray at the corner of the elevator’s entrance.

“Chenyan, you’re finally willing to come out!”

As he had not seen her for a long time, Wu Ze could not fully conceal the excitement in his tone.

“Huh? Big Brother Wu, why haven’t you left yet?”

Mu Chenyan was very surprised. She had been hiding from Yuan Xuan because she did not want to follow him home but she did not want to see Wu Ze waiting for her here either.

“I haven’t seen you in such a long time but since I happened to come here today, I wanted to ask you about recent developments.”

Wu Ze explained, his pale blue jacket complementing his refined aura. Seeing Mu Chenyan attentively gazing at him, the 186cm tall man got rather embarrassed.

He had actually thought of visiting her when he came yesterday. However, when Wu Huai saw through his intentions, he reluctantly suppressed that impulse to prevent his older brother from making fun of him.

He came here with Yuan Xuan today because this case involved Zhao Ruoxin and Mu Chenyan. Hence, he wanted to look for Mu Chenyan so he could understand the situation better. On the other hand, he had already openly said that he wanted to chat with her.

“If I’d known beforehand, I wouldn’t have purposely taken my time and I would’ve come down earlier instead…”

Mu Chenyan’s murmurs caused Wu Ze to stare blankly before he immediately understood that she was avoiding Yuan Xuan.

Wu Ze secretly smiled. Although he was a man of noble character, he still had a selfish side. He thought of how Yuan Xuan could not succeed despite having a beautiful woman to come home to and embrace every day. If he was in his shoes, he would probably not be able to restrain himself to dote on her.

“What happened? Have you fallen out with him again?”

Wu Ze’s polite manner made it impossible to discern the mocking tone in his voice. He had the demeanor of a neighborhood older brother. This made Mu Chenyan recall that the place where the Mu Family previously lived when she was younger was also located in a wealthy suburb. Meanwhile, there was a person named Yang who lived in the villa beside them.

After she had gotten married, the young lady from the Yang Family ran home after fighting with her husband every day. Her young, dashing older brother from the Yang Family would console his sister, saying, “It’s alright. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you suffer. I’ll teach that brat a lesson if he comes here…”

Mu Chenyan also had an older brother. However, Mu Chenwu was 10 years older than her and had an unrestrained personality. He rarely took care of his younger sister because most of his energy was focused on fooling around with women everywhere. Conversely, Wu Ze seemed more like her actual brother instead…
