Chapter 119: Yuan Xuan Who Silently Remained on the Sidelines All Along Was Suddenly Set in Motion

The corners of Mu Chenyan’s mouth curled into a faint smile while she continued to appear indifferent. She remained silent to rebuff Old Mistress.

This woman who was very close to Yuan Tian had been influenced by that girl’s innate unruliness. She looked delicate and feeble but she was actually stubborn right down to the bone.

It was still acceptable because Yuan Tian was a member of the Yuan Family but Mu Chenyan was not given that her surname is Mu. What right did she have to behave in an atrocious manner in front of her?

“Are you going to apologize to Ruoxin or not?”

Old Mistress coldly ordered.

Wen Ya hurriedly but discreetly tugged at Mu Chenyan’s cuff while whispering, “It doesn’t matter if you just apologize. It’ll be fine once you say it… Don’t make Grandmother angry!”

Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya was a peacemaker but it was difficult for Mu Chenyan to utter those words when she saw Zhao Ruoxin’s whimpering state.

Frankly, it did not hurt enough for her to cry like this.

Zhao Ruoxin deliberately wanted to embarrass her. Once she had apologized, the entire Yuan Family would look down on her.

This female outsider had such clear intentions to stir Yuan Xuan’s thoughts in front of her. Did she actually have to meekly apologize to her despite being the true wife who was placed in a terribly demeaning state?

Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Her entire body was cold but her gaze was extremely firm. Her attitude had already determined that she would refuse to do this.

Although Zhao Ruoxin saw the refusal that filled Mu Chenyan’s face, she did as she pleased because of Grandmother’s presence that resulted in such immense pressure. She loudly sobbed without wasting another moment…

Everyone looked at Mu Chenyan, expressing through their confused and criticized gazes that she was unaware of her own strength.

She was completely abandoned once again.

The scene was so familiar.

This resembled her wedding banquet two years ago when she was dragged away from among thousands of lily flowers by the police in her snow-white wedding dress. Under the camera flashlights, the former number one socialite and the daughter-in-law of the Yuan Family’s eldest grandson had instantly descended to the lowest point of her life. However, not a single person had stepped forward to support her.

“Grandmother has already said that she was being careless, I think that’s settled. Since Mu Chenyan has a headache, I’ll take her home to rest.”

Yuan Xuan who silently remained on the sidelines all along was suddenly set in motion.

His ‘wife protection mode’ had been directly activated.

Her back briefly felt warm as Mu Chenyan’s icy body directly fell into the crooks of the man’s deep and strong arms.

She was unhurriedly hit by that familiar and refreshing pine scent. Before she could reject him in time, he was already tightly pressing himself against her. When his blazing body heat drifted over, it was completely filled with strength.

The crooks of his arms were excessively warm. To her surprise, she unconsciously felt that she wanted to stay there without having to come out.

This also made her forgot that they were still in the middle of a cold war…

Yuan Xuan practiced what he preached. He had perfectly proven that he would be by her side even if everyone was finding fault with her.

Mu Chenyan was instantly touched.

This embrace was two years late…

“Headache? Why does she have a headache again?” Old Mistress was so furious that her lips were quivering slightly.

Mu Chenyan was inwardly amused by this. Was this man unable to find a different excuse?

“I don’t have a headache!”

Mu Chenyan whispered but her tone was gentle. She resembled a naughty little cat, using her claws to scratch the innermost part of his itching heart.

“Pretend that it hurts even if it doesn’t!”

Yuan Xuan said in all seriousness. His dignified tone made him resemble a decent public figure.

He did not even turn his gaze towards her while his voice was lowered to a volume that could only be heard by the both of them.

Mu Chenyan was slightly stunned. She could not clearly determine her own feelings towards Yuan Xuan either.

Nonetheless, her current emotions made her reluctant to leave. She gently rubbed herself against his body like a stray cat that had wandered around outside for too long. Now that she had finally found a warm nest, she could not help herself from burrowing inside it.

She terribly wished that he had stood by her side like this two years ago.

She would have continued to love him the same way she did in the beginning while the Mu Chenyan of today would not exist…

…

When Old Mistress realized that Yuan Xuan wanted to help that girl and speak on her behalf again, she had nowhere to displace the anger that she had accumulated over numerous occasions. Her expression hardened as if she was slowly extinguishing the burning rage in her heart.

After all, Old Mistress already knew how to properly control a scene and her own emotions because she was a person who had experienced numerous decades worth of trials.

Yuan Xuan was not an ordinary child. He was already used to behaving in a proud manner since his childhood because he was pampered for many years. Moreover, his parents were not there to accompany him either. Thus, he only respected a few people.

If they argued, she was truly worried that he would not just accept it…

Despite her entire reputation and the presence of respect, she had prioritized her deep sentiments that were related to being fiercely protective of her own.

By remaining silent, Old Mistress had indicated that she would not intefere with Yuan Xuan’s attitude.

“Grandmother, since there’s nothing more to say, I’ll take Chenyan home then. As for Ruoxin, I hope that it’ll be alright for me to leave her in Third Uncle’s care.”

Yuan Xuan made the arrangements and nodded at Yuan Tangshuo to indicate that.

While everyone fixed their astonished gazes on him, Yuan Xuan held Mu Chenyan’s slim waist before his imposing and dark figure vanished into the night.

This was surprising because Yuan Xuan had always been extremely respectful towards Old Mistress before this despite his overbearing personality…

Mu Chenyan’s arrival meant that the Yuan Family would undergo great changes…
