Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You

Yuan Xuan’s expression darkened.

He was not an inherently kind man. He would not hurt others unless they hurt him, and he would not hesitate to punish them if they offended him.

He listened as Mu Chenyan begged for mercy for her “accomplice” who had separated her and Yuan Xuan for several years. Worse still, he had nearly raped her as well. The man’s face grew grimmer when he thought of this.

Guo Jingze did not show Yuan Xuan any mercy when they fought with each other. Yuan Xuan felt terribly unhappy when he realized that he had to let him off.

A gloomy look flashed in the depths of the handsome man’s eyes. He seductively pursed his lips before he quietly asked, “Why are you always so stupid?”

Mu Chenyan knew that the malicious intent in Yuan Xuan’s heart would only disappear after much difficulty. She sighed. Her beautiful little face had turned pale because her body was too weak. She had a delicate type of beauty now.

“Guo Jingze is not a bad person by nature. He simply became mean because he was pampered ever since he was a child. He’s never suffered a day in his life. People can be quite extreme at times. Nonetheless, he treated me and my son very well when I was with him for several years. He never mistreated me.”

Mu Chenyan was being honest. Guo Jingze nearly violated her, and she held a grudge against him for that, but this did not cancel out the previous acts of kindness that he had shown her. She was not a hateful person. On the contrary, she could distinguish between feelings of gratitude and resentment.

“He helped you conceal your real identity. In other words, he did this despite knowing that you were my wife. He was clearly hiding his selfish desires for you all along!”

Yuan Xuan was secretly furious at this situation. He had searched through more than half of Country Z. Guo Jingze made Yuan Xuan’s journey to find his wife more difficult than it should have been.

“It was my fault so you shouldn’t blame anyone else!” said Mu Chenyan guiltily. She went into hiding during these years because she knew that Yuan Xuan was looking for her.

Once, her classmate who was also a graduate student looked her up and down while comparing her to a picture on their phone. The student smiled and said, “Yan Xiao, why do I think that you look particularly similar to the Young Mistress of the Yuan Family in Luo Hai?”

Mu Chenyan was so frightened that she refused to appear before that student for several days.

Yuan Xuan gently sighed. His heart was unconsciously filled with uneasiness when he saw the embarrassed look on his wife’s face. “Now that I think about it, this was actually my fault. Little Chenyan, I won’t let you leave me ever again!”

Shao Yibai pacified Guo Jingze for some time. When they were younger, Shao Yibai had hit Guo Jingze numerous times while they were playing because he was a mischievous child. Now that they were older, Shao Yibai felt slightly sorry for Guo Jingze as he watched him getting beat up by his cousin.

Guo Jingze realized that Mu Chenyan would probably leave him after today. The man felt a heavy sense of loss as he had suffered a broken heart twice.

“Big Bai, do you think that Mu Chenyan would still be in love with Yuan Xuan if I had met her a few years earlier?”

Guo Jingze had yet to accept the situation completely. He was used to getting his way ever since he was a child. He always got what he wanted without fail. Wei Guo had even prostrated himself before his feet. However, Mu Chenyan had seemingly kept herself at a perfect distance from him for the past three years.

Yuan Xuan was the root of this. As Mu Chenyan only had eyes for that man, every other male on earth was meaningless to her.

Shao Yibai could not hide his smile when he heard this. It looked like Mu Chenyan never explained to Guo Jingze that she and Yuan Xuan were caught between their love and hatred for each other.

“Jingze, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan’s relationship is not merely a two-year affair. If you could go back in time and meet Mu Chenyan earlier, you’d have to time travel to her elementary school days. Moreover, Mu Chenyan was in Xi Fan at that time.”

Guo Jingze was shocked. He was unaware that Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had known each other for such a long time. It was not surprising that he lost to Yuan Xuan when those two were childhood sweethearts.

Guo Jingze suddenly shut his eyes. He murmured, “Please help me apologize to Mu Chenyan for my behavior last night…”

Shao Yibai patted his shoulder and comforted him, saying, “Don’t feel bad about it. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to return to your original plan of pursuing men instead. I’ve heard that that man is still dead set on you. No one is going to laugh at you.”

Guo Jingze bitterly laughed after pondering for a moment. “It’s true that Wei Guo is still waiting for me…”

Mu Chenyan returned to university once she and Guo Jingze signed their divorce settlement. She still had half a year to complete her dissertation.

Yuan Xuan could not stop himself from secretly feeling emotional when he discovered that Mu Chenyan was studying ichnology. She could work for the forensic department in the future after she graduated. Yuan Xuan realized that his wife was advancing on the path of criminal investigation.

He kept his previous promise by handing his business in Luo Hai over to Kang Yu and the deputy CEO to manage. In the meantime, he moved to City A and became a househusband.

The handsome man rolled up his sleeves every day and traveled between the market and the kitchen. Mu Chenyan had nothing but endless praise for every dish he cooked. “Mr Yuan, you really wasted your time being a CEO when you could’ve been a master chef instead!”

When he heard his young wife’s compliments, Mr. Yuan exhausted himself and dominated the kitchen in the daytime while he ruthlessly dominated his young wife at night.

Their bed rocked with intense force. Mu Chenyan trembled every time she saw the sinister smile on Yuan Xuan’s face when he came out of the shower. There was no such thing as a free lunch as she was clearly forced to repay him at night.

“Are you going to give me a little princess soon?”

Yuan Xuan’s sweat rained down on Mu Chenyan’s body as he imagined a future where he had both a son and a daughter.

Mu Chenyan groaned endlessly. It was a common saying that women in their thirties were like wolves in the pack that liked being dominated by alpha males. Nonetheless, she could never keep up with Yuan Xuan’s pace despite being five years younger than him.

She clawed and bit Yuan Xuan’s body as he ruthlessly tormented her, but her actions made him more excited. He would always test her limits until she tearfully begged for mercy.

Without fail, he would only stop after they did this two or three times consecutively. One day, Mu Chenyan found a note with Yuan Xuan’s handwriting in the drawer that read, “My dear wife went away for three years and ten months. We should do it three times a week to make up for it, excluding the days when she’s either on her period or pregnant. That should be equivalent to XXXX times. We’ve already done it XX times as of now…”

F*ck!

He lacked the Three Worldviews!

Only now did Mu Chenyan understand that her husband was calculating how many times she owed him sex. It was not surprising that he needed two or three rounds during each session…

He was truly an unscrupulous businessman!

In the outside world, this cold and arrogant man was rumored to be a ruthless and resolute individual. Nonetheless, Mu Chenyan’s heart was filled with warmth when she recalled how he buried himself in her supple bosom.

Their days went by considerably smoothly. The only problem was that Yan Muyu was rather cold toward his biological father who appeared out of nowhere.

This child was very clever despite only being three years old. He was terribly reserved toward strangers.

This made him and Yuan Xuan very similar.

Yuan Xuan had taken many years to warm up to Mu Chenyan when she was pursuing him in the beginning. He continued to give her the cold shoulder despite falling in love with her first…

The son was avenging his mother this time!

Their daily conversations were like this:

“Little Yu…”

“Mr Yuan, don’t call me that! We’re not that close.”

“Little Yan Muyu, can you please finish your food?”

Mr Yuan was surprisingly patient with his son.

“Mr Yuan, can you please improve your cooking?”

Mr Yuan’s expression darkened when he realized that he was disliked…

“Little Yan Muyu, can you please call me ‘dad’?”

“Mr Yuan, haha!” A coldly arrogant look appeared on Yan Muyu’s face…

Yuan Xuan fumed with anger. “Kids are so mischievous these days! However, this brat’s personality is really similar to mine. I was also like this when I was younger…”

Mu Chenyan doubled over with laughter. There were many children in the Yuan Family Mansion who grew up together. She wondered why Shu Qinger was Yuan Xuan’s only playmate when he was a child.

Yan Muyu privately told his mother his true feelings. “Although I still miss my old father, my new father isn’t that bad…”

Little children were like that. It was just difficult for him to accept the changes in the world of the adults for now.

Mu Chenyan graduated in June. She took her certificate and said goodbye to Professor Shen. Mu Chenyan felt rather reluctant to leave. She was thankful for the three years that she spent studying at the University of A.

She sent a text message to Guo Jingze to bid him farewell before she left City A, but the man never responded.

When Yuan Xuan left with Mu Chenyan and Yan Muyu on their flight, Guo Jingze hid in a corner of the airport and watched Mu Chenyan leave…
