Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You-Chapter 259 - 5000 Word Update, Undivided Chapter

Both of them had traveled along a treacherous icy road earlier but these current interactions made Mu Chenyan suddenly feel as though her heart had been warmed.

She could not stop a smile from forming on the corners of her lips.

When Zhao Ruoxin pounced on Yuan Xuan earlier in the afternoon, it would be somewhat inaccurate to say that she was completely unconcerned.

After all, she was still a woman. Was there even a single woman in the world who was immune to even the slightest tinge of jealousy?

Mu Chenyan thought to her self that if Yuan Xuan wanted to throw that piece of clothing away, so be it!

She was also unhappy that it had been tainted with another woman’s breath.

Mu Chenyan hurried her footsteps as she was afraid that Yuan Xuan could sense the sinister air in her thoughts. She instantly burrowed into the bedroom and snatched a towel from the closet before going to take a shower.

Yuan Xuan remained silent although he could tell that his wife was secretly delighted. He took the cat food upstairs to see his “son” and “daughter”…

Little Ginger Fur Ball was behaving bossily towards Briquet.

The first bite of cat food would always be given to her first. On average, she ate more than Briquet. Thus, Little Ginger Fur Ball had become much fatter after a week. Her body was a lot rounder while her energy had greatly increased as well. She would hold Briquet down underneath her for no reason and meow to display her strength.

“Meow meow, aren’t you naughty?”

Little Ginger Fur Ball was an uncontrollable fierce young woman who was very fat!

Yuan Xuan furrowed his eyebrows while looking at the annoyed Briquet. He quietly reproached him. “Briquet, this is unacceptable. You have to be bold and manly. How can you always let yourself be oppressed by a woman?”

Briquet looked stupefied. He was too afraid to resist Little Ginger Fur Ball because this kitten was too tough. However, he felt immensely troubled when his daddy criticized him…

Moreover, since Briquet naturally doted on women, he would be reluctant to get mad at Little Ginger Fur Ball even if she became fiercer when she disturbed him.

When Little Ginger Fur Ball saw her daddy instigating Briquet, she thought to herself, ‘Hmph, that’s easy for you to say, daddy. Who was the one who threw away his suit in fear after noticing that Mistress looked upset?’

…

When Mu Chenyan could not find anyone downstairs after her shower, she realized that Yuan Xuan must have gone upstairs to the third floor. Sure enough, she saw Yuan Xuan kneeling on the floor “chatting” to Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet.

“Once mommy gets pregnant, you can’t fight the baby for attention! But once the baby’s older, you can play with him.”

“Hey, when do you think mommy will get pregnant?”

Yuan Xuan spoke earnestly to the two kittens as though they were really having a serious discussion and that they could really give him some ideas.

Little Ginger Fur Ball seemed to say, “Meow meow… don’t be hasty, daddy!”

Briquet seemingly said, “Meow meow… you have to keep working hard, daddy!”

Mu Chenyan was left speechless by what she had heard.

Yuan Xuan quietly laughed to himself. “You’re right, Briquet. Daddy should work really hard to get mommy to sleep with him!”

Mu Chenyan became rather worried.

When did this man become so immature?

The outside world would definitely be shocked if they saw the Yuan Family’s volatile Third Young Master, a powerful figure who brazenly charged through Luo Hai, acting like this. However, Mu Chenyan was more worried that they would laugh their heads off instead.

She quietly retreated and went downstairs without disturbing Yuan Xuan’s fantasies.

There was still half a box of Marvelon contraceptives in the bedroom drawer.

Something stirred in the corner of Mu Chenyan’s heart when she looked at that half-empty box of pills and recalled Yuan Xuan’s behavior on the rooftop earlier. One day, if they each failed to get their own happy endings, at least they would have something to remember each other by if they had a child.

After all, Mu Chenyan had loved him for so many years.

As she thought of this, Mu Chenyan swung her arm and threw the pills into the rubbish bin…

…

As per usual, Wen Ya did not meet with her husband Yuan Zhe at the Peace Mansion when she returned from the cemetery.

Normally, it was very difficult for her to have a meal with Yuan Zhe as well.

When Wen Ya came out of the bathroom after she had showered, the maid ran over and announced, “Madam has invited Mistress over for a meal.”

Wen Ya nodded but appeared to be reluctant. “Alright.”

Wen Ya was terribly unwilling to attend to these matters as she was still slightly tired after returning from the cemetery.

The second son of the Yuan Family would always ask Wen Ya the same question every time she went over there for a meal. “Wen Ya, why haven’t you gotten pregnant yet?”

Unlike Mu Chenyan who was intentionally avoiding pregnancy, Wen Ya had never taken any preventive measures. However, it seemed like God was teasing her when he gave her a baby at the time when she was not supposed to get pregnant. This left her with no choice but to marry Yuan Zhe.

Throughout her life, Wen Ya’s tragic fate had escalated towards its peak when she married that man.

It was unfortunate that she could not keep that child. Moreover, it was brutally stripped from her body. This act had enraged God. Thus, she could not get pregnant anymore after having that miscarriage.

…

Wen Ya sat on the sofa and stared at the clock ticking away on the wall. It was already past seven o’clock. Yuan Zhe would have finished his work long ago but as usual, he had not returned and accompanied her for dinner.

The maid saw Wen Ya staring blankly while she sat on the sofa but was too afraid to come forward and remind her.

Although Eldest Young Mistress seemed to be beaming on the outside, the entire Peace Mansion knew that she was merely passing her time each day on the inside. However, none of them dared to speculate about their Master’s activities as they were merely maids.

Thus, everyone could tell that Wen Ya was hiding things such as her dead marriage, the brutal violence, and the torture that she endured. Unfortunately, no one dared to pipe up.

Hence, nobody would report this to Old Mistress if Wen Ya did not mention it.

The Yuan Family Mansion seemed completely serene because of that.

Whenever she left or returned, Wen Ya was seen as the generous and elegant Eldest Young Mistress who was befitting of her title.

As the wife of the Yuan Family’s second son, Xue Meiwei came from a distinguished family as well. She was a well-known local musician in her youth who played the violin very well. After marrying Yuan Tangzhong, she slowly withdrew from the performing industry and became a music teacher instead.

Thus, a woman who was as educated and accomplished as her was just as likely to harbor the thought and intention of producing a male heir to continue the family line as much as anyone else.

Wen Ya knew that the old woman had definitely called her over to talk about children again.

She changed her clothes quickly and went over to the main residence in Peace Mansion.

The two residences in the Peace Mansion were separated by a little garden so Wen Ya walked around that garden. Through the French windows, she saw the old woman elegantly sitting on the sofa and sipping tea wrapped in a silk shawl.

Wen Ya entered the residence through the front hall. It was shrouded in fog because it had just rained during the day. The maid brought a white towel over so that she could wipe her hair as her body was slightly damp.

Xue Meiwei could not help but sigh when she saw that Wen Ya’s face was a ghostly pale color while her lips were clearly lacking its usual rosiness when she came over.

She turned around and instructed the maid, “Go and get some herbal soup for Young Mistress!”

Her daughter-in-law was considerably up to par. Needless to say, Wen Ya was pretty. However, her complexion did not seem like she was fit to have a child at all no matter how one looked at it.

The second son of the Yuan Family only had one adult son, Yuan Zhe. As Yuan Zhe’s lawful wife, how could Wen Ya be reluctant to have children?

Since Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Zhe were involved in politics, it would be inappropriate to mention that Yuan Zhe had a child out of wedlock.

Xue Meiwei was not fully in favor of their marriage in the beginning. After all, this could have benefited Yuan Zhe whatsoever because the Wen Family’s fortunes had declined.

However, this was insignificant in comparison to Wen Ya’s pregnancy at the time. Moreover, Old Mistress and Yuan Tangzhong had already agreed to this, especially Old Mistress who knew that the woman’s family would argue that the grandson of the Yuan Family was irresponsible since she was already pregnant. Thus, the marriage was decided like that.

As of that day, the union was formed although the child had been lost. Nonetheless, they could not simply just kick Wen Ya out of the family like that, right?

Moreover, Wen Ya had been tremendously well-behaved for so many years while Yuan Zhe was very much responsible for the death of his child that year. If he mentioned divorce, it would probably be impossible for him to explain himself to Old Mistress.

Xue Meiwei’s complexion deteriorated every time she thought about these troubles. She said to Wen Ya, “You’re a woman so the matters outside that involve your career should all be secondary. Taking care of your body so that you can have a child sooner is the right thing to do!”

This much was expected!

It was the same old story again.

Wen Ya quietly laughed. “Mother is right. Once the National Arts Commerce has stabilized and I’ve passed the miscellaneous tasks to my assistant and secretary, I can momentarily rest.”

Xue Meiwei knew that Wen Ya had a tolerant personality and would not retaliate even if she had said something truly horrible. Xue Meiwei sighed.

The third son of the Yuan Family had shares in the National Arts Commerce. Yuan Xuan was the main shareholder because he had previously purchased a chain of retail stores. However, he passed over the authority to Wen Ya and allowed her to manage them as he appreciated her abilities.

The mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law sat on two separate sides of the wide sandalwood table while the maid went upstairs to call on Yuan Tangzhong to come down.

As someone who had been removed from the masses for many years, Yuan Tangzhong was used to the elegance and superiority of aristocracy. In the Peace Mansion, he was also considered as an autocratic man.

As he walked down the stairs Yuan Tangzhong saw that Wen Ya was the only person who had come over for dinner, he quietly asked, “What’s the matter? Did Yuan Zhe refuse to come again?”

Wen Ya rose from her seat. Her complexion was slightly flushed and she was too afraid to raise her head to look at Yuan Tangzhong. She merely murmured, “He’s been very busy lately so he’s only been coming home very late at night.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Meiwei voiced her complaints towards Yuan Tangzhong, saying, “I allowed him to work with you but you keep our son so busy every day. I don’t know how you can do this as his father! You can just assign these silly little tasks to someone else. Why do you have to keep him tied up all the time?”

“Busy? Hmph! I’ll be thankful if he doesn’t get into any trouble!” Yuan Tangzhong seemed unhappy with Xue Meiwei’s tone.

Xue Meiwei was speechless.

“A loving mother will always give in to her son! Are you unaware of the things that he’s been doing outside?”

He glanced at his daughter-in-law who was by the side when he spoke before he swallowed back his words.

Yuan Tangzhong sat down on his own seat. He was so furious that his entire body trembled. He turned to Xue Meiwei and said, “Keep a close eye on him and make sure that he goes out less frequently now. He used up some money that was meant as rewards for the army veterans. I’m afraid that this incident will make him unable to form relationships!”

Since Xue Meiwei did not understand politics, she mentally paid it no mind as she heard them discussing this new found information. “Our household’s finances are lacking? How is this matter related to Zhe Zhe?”

Yuan Tangzhong was so angered by his wife’s attitude that he was about to hit the table. “Your understanding is shallow! He might be unconcerned about money but is he not afraid that other people might abuse his name and drag him down with them?”

Xue Meiwei lost her train of thought when Yuan Tangzhong yelled at her.

Since she had been humiliated in front of her daughter-in-law, she turned around and projected her anger on Wen Ya instead.

“This woman thinks too highly of herself! Wen Ya, you have to be mindful as well. If you don’t think of a way to make your husband stay with you but allow him to fool around and do as he pleases outside, how would it be possible for him not to associate with lowly people in romantic situations?”

All five flavors were present while the various colors and aromas wafted about.

However, there was only a bitter taste in Wen Ya’s mouth when she looked at the table that was filled with a variety of dishes.

She smiled faintly. “Mother is right. I’ll go home and advise him later tonight.”

Yuan Tangzhong was unhappy with his wife’s attitude but Xue Meiwei had always considered herself as the wife of a respected man. Furthermore, since she was also from an aristocratic family, she was rather stubborn to the core and possessed a superiority complex.

She would endlessly indulge her son while being rather demanding towards her daughter-in-law. It was very likely that this had caused trouble for Wen Ya.

Yuan Tangzhong softened his tone, “As a mother, you should usually make an effort to support Wen Ya. Yuan Zhe has always been bad tempered so it’ll be difficult for Wen Ya to pacify him on her own when he loses control.”

Xue Meiwei gently shook her head and flatly replied, “He’s a man so it’s normal for him to lose his temper sometimes.”

Wen Ya’s body trembled. It seemed like the old man and woman were already aware of Yuan Zhe’s domestic abuse towards her!

…

The night breeze brought some warmth to the weather in May. Since it had just rained, the plants in the Peace Mansion’s garden were lush and green as they had been nourished by the rain and dew.

When Wen Ya walked past the little garden, she saw that the Japanese banana tree was lusher than from previous years.

She crouched down and stroked the damp soil below the Japanese banana tree. “Child, is it cold down there?”

Wen Ya was already more than 5 months pregnant that year but Yuan Zhe still refused to show restraint during their bedroom activities.

It finally happened when Yuan Zhe discovered a new position on a drunken night. The force that violently shoved forward caused Wen Ya to suddenly feel an unbearable pain in her stomach. She begged Yuan Zhe to stop before she felt a warm stream of blood flowing down her thigh…

The remains of the baby boy that had already formed when he slipped out were secretly brought home by her from the hospital before she buried him under this Japanese banana tree…

Wen Ya who had been treated coldly by everyone was quietly groaning under the tree.

The only person who truly knew the misery in her heart was her child who had already departed from this world.

…

Midnight

Wen Ya was dressed in a loose white silk nightgown as she hugged her knees and waited in the living room. Her face was frosty while the delicate curves of her body seemed extremely frail under this loose nightgown.

Yuan Zhe only returned at midnight.

The smell of alcohol and the scent of another woman’s perfume lingered on his body.

The maid rushed over to grab the clothes that Yuan Zhe had removed after he pushed the front door open and entered. When the maid smelled the alcohol on his body, she turned around to get some soup for him to sober up. However, Yuan Zhe waved his large hands and instructed the maid to leave.

“Eldest Young Mistress Yuan… Are you sitting here waiting for me?” Yuan Zhe’s tone was filled with ridicule.

Yuan Zhe sat beside Wen Ya as he spoke before he held her slim shoulders with his large hand.

Wen Ya was actually planning to discuss the subject of children with Yuan Zhe. She was willing to be very magnanimous. If Yuan Zhe brought a child back from somewhere else, she would raise it.

Did Xue Meiwei not merely say that she wanted a grandchild for the Yuan Family?

It did not necessarily mean that she had to be the one to give birth, right?

However, Wen Ya’s heart was filled with disgust when she saw Yuan Zhe approaching her now.

She dodged towards one side but she could not resist his strength. When Yuan Zhe pulled her into his arms, Wen Ya nearly vomited as she could smell the perfume all over his body.

“Let go of me! Don’t touch me when your body is tainted with the stench of another woman!”

Wen Ya’s angry tone and her physical resistance provoked Yuan Zhe and terribly upset him. He sarcastically laughed and said, “My wife is jealous!”

Upon hearing this, Wen Ya sneered. “Jealous? Yuan Zhe, you must think very highly of yourself, right? You think that I’d get jealous because of you?”

Yuan Zhe’s expression became graver while he furiously glared at Wen Ya. This woman had nowhere to vent her anger and grief. Thus, she could only say these things now.

“I’ve given up on you a long time ago! Why would I get jealous because of you? I was waiting for you today to tell you that your mother is pressuring me to have a baby again. But you already know that I’ll never be willing to have a baby with someone like you!

“If you’re skilled enough, get one of your women outside to give birth to your child and then bring it home. I’ll raise it for you!”

Yuan Zhe’s entire body was shrouded by a malicious aura. His round eyes were filled with rage while a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corners of his lips as he glared at Wen Ya.

Wen Ya suddenly felt a strong urge to vent her anger when she saw Yuan Zhe’s appearance. “Yuan Zhe, did I hit a sore spot?

“It’s not as though you didn’t want to impregnate another woman with your seed all along, but the problem was that you couldn’t, right?”

Wen Ya mockingly sneered before she adding, “Didn’t that little B-list celebrity previously say that she was pregnant with your child? However, she probably didn’t even know who actually fathered her baby, right? If you’re willing to be a white knight, I won’t go and complain to mother about this!”

Yuan Zhe knew that Wen Ya was ridiculing his incapability when he heard this. The man’s self-esteem crashed to the floor before he gripped his wife’s chin with his large rough hands. Several red fingerprints immediately formed on Wen Ya’s delicate skin where it had been pinched.

“Wen Ya, do you know that you’re playing with fire? Didn’t you say that you refused to get pregnant with my child? Are you making fun of my abilities?” Yuan Zhe suddenly pounced on her as he spoke and firmly pressed her down underneath his body.

Yuan Zhe yanked off his tie while speaking.

Upon seeing this, Wen Ya who was underneath him trembled from head to toe and curled up into a ball. She shoved him with her hands and attempted to create a survival opportunity for herself. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhe used the tie that he had pulled off to tightly bind her hands to the sofa’s armrest.

When she saw the lust and desire that erupted from Yuan Zhe’s eyes, Wen Ya was so afraid that she shivered. After all, she was still a woman. “Yuan Zhe… You idiot… Let go of me!”

Yuan Zhe scoffed while releasing his belt buckle at the same time. Wen Ya started to cry and squeezed her thighs closer together in an attempt to prevent him from assaulting her. She loudly wailed, “Help! Save me…”

There were two permanent maids who lived in the side house in the external residences. They would hear her if she made enough noise.

There was a ray of hope in Wen Ya’s heart!

Yuan Zhe could not help his rage from burning brighter when he saw that Wen Ya was strongly resisting and noisily yelling. He exerted more force and used his hands to rip the fabric off the woman’s body in several swift motions…

“No… No…” Wen Ya was helpless!

Tears streaked down her little face as she wept while cursing at the same time.

“Ahh!”

…

They rarely made love to each other after that baby had been miscarried.

When Yuan Zhe saw his wife’s faintly flushed cheeks and body, he quietly cursed, “You’re still so beautiful, you vixen…”

He had not touched her for several years. However, when Yuan Zhe trespassed into this forbidden frame of mind due to the influence of alcohol, it was suddenly difficult for him to control himself.

Under the bright lights of the hall, Yuan Zhe shamelessly ravaged her while saying indecent things to provoke her…

Unaware of the situation, the maid peered inside when she heard some noises. When she saw what was happening, she was so frightened that she stood blankly outside the door.

“Get out!”

Yuan Zhe furiously scolded her.

The maid was so afraid that she hurriedly retreated and left.

Wen Ya was so embarrassed that she wished that she was dead!

Hatred flourished in her heart when she looked at Yuan Zhe’s prideful and threatening face while she descended below his body…

She was not even 30 years old but her body had been slowly decaying because of this rotten marriage.

The fire that had been extinguished was reignited once again at the moment when these two people became one today.

Nonetheless, Wen Ya would definitely object if she was asked whether or not she loved this man.

She resented him and it stemmed from the day when her child slipped out of her body while being surrounded by blood. She had felt endless hatred ever since…

Despite that, Wen Ya’s body allowed him to ravage it during this activity between husband and wife although there were no benefits for her…

Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes. How could God abuse a woman like this?
