Yuan Tian rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart, ‘What the hell?! Who’s she trying to scare by mentioning Grandmother for no reason?’

She scolded in her heart but her lips could not say those words. Her bright eyes glanced at Zhao Ruoxin before she quietly said, “Sketching is just a false pretense, right? Wouldn’t your hands freeze if you sat there drawing on such a cold day?”

“You’re worrying too much, Fifth Miss! Brother Xuan will take the necessary measures to take care of us.”

Zhao Ruoxin was very intelligent. Since she knew that she could not offend someone like Yuan Tian who did not play her cards according to valid reasons, she chose to avoid her sharp attacks by turning to Yuan Xuan instead.

When Yuan Tian realized that her next move was blocked here, she pondered before settling on an alternative path.

In a delicate voice, the doe-eyed beauty turned to Yuan Xuan and yelled, “Brother Xuan…”

“You should come along!”

Yuan Xuan resounding and sonorous voice said before Yuan Tian could open her mouth and speak.

The side of the handsome and thought-provoking man’s face was shrouded in faint and gentle orange-colored rays while every syllable that flowed out of his thin lips were bouncy and elastic. Moreover, they were incomparably magnificent, husky, and deep…

Stunned, Zhao Ruoxin quietly said, “What? You want to bring her along?”

“I’m ecstatic! My heart is jumping for joy!” Yuan Tian could not restrain herself from becoming emotional.

On the side, Mu Chenyan was slightly dumbfounded as well. Unable to understand this, she cast a puzzled glance at Yuan Xuan but his stern face remained almost blank before he forced a smile at her…

“Brother, it would’ve been better if you weren’t my brother!”

Although it was difficult to calm her down earlier, Yuan Tian intentionally revealed a starry-eyed expression before she continued to speak in an indulgent manner.

Yuan Xuan looked at Yuan Tian and indifferently said, “What’s wrong? Are you upset having me as your brother?”

Yuan Tian frantically explained and said, “No, that’s not it! I meant that you’re too cool and too nice! If you weren’t my brother, I could fall in love with you, pursue you, and pester you like a certain woman who lingers on…”

Yuan Xuan, “…”

Mu Chenyan, “…”

Zhao Ruoxin, “…”

After Yuan Tian had disrupted her plans like this, Zhao Ruoxin became slightly frazzled.

She had initially planned to follow Yuan Xuan to Liu Li Villa and reveal her feelings for him while they were in a romantic setting with only the two of them there.

She had never anticipated this unexpected obstacle.

Furthermore, Yuan Tian was probably one of the scariest obstacles…

No one knew what Fifth Miss was afraid of.

“I’d originally planned to bring someone else along.” Seeing Zhao Ruoxin’s pretty little face had darkened, Yuan Xuan flatly said, “It would’ve been extremely inconvenient for a man and woman like us to be together by ourselves.”

Zhao Ruoxin gave an awkward smile before she gently said, “Yes, it would be good if Fifth Miss came along too! At least there would be someone to talk to me…”

She glanced at Yuan Tian but the look on Big Tian’s face clearly insinuated ‘in your dreams’…

Mu Chenyan felt that Yuan Xuan’s gaze resembled numerous sharp swords that carved every inch of her body.

The scorching, unhidden sharpness gave Mu Chenyan immense pressure.

His faint menacing aura made Mu Chenyan too afraid to even raise her head to look at him.

Yuan Xuan was really furious now. This woman seemed indifferent and unconcerned. Moreover, Yuan Tian was participating in the ‘battle of jealousy’ on her behalf as well.

Yuan Xuan’s face looked extremely terrible but he still maintained his elegant demeanor. He reached his hand out and took a handcrafted embroidered handkerchief before gently wiping the corners of his mouth with it. He said lightly, “My appetite hasn’t been well lately but the rest of you should take your time and eat.”

The banquet had just started but Yuan Xuan had not eaten much at all.

How did he maintain the attractive and well-built muscles on his body?

In her heart, Mu Chenyan was clearly aware that the man’s appetite had worsened because he was recently upset. Thus, it seemed that she had gone slightly overboard by heartlessly eating in such a joyful manner.

She quietly placed her chopsticks down and stopped eating as well.

Yuan Xuan felt slightly remorseful when he caught a glimpse of her minute actions. Perhaps she was not full yet.

When he thought of this, he became annoyed and sighed inwardly to himself. This woman could control his emotions without batting an eyelid. Thus, the person who did not even lift a finger had gained the most stunning victory
