When Mu Chenyan recalled that scene, she could not help but mock bitterly at herself in her heart.

No matter how much she resented him, the moment their bodies merged perfectly, she would not be able to control herself to pardon him infinitely, and her body would freely accept him…

Thinking of those past images and reflecting on her current sorry state, Mu Chenyan felt heart-wrenching.

She and Yuan Xuan, was it only the warmth on the bed that was left of between them?

She had drifted about in the first half of her life. The numerous pursuit of romance when she was young then, were all initiated by her. To her, Yuan Xuan seemed to be far off, as though he was right before her eyes, yet he was actually beyond reach.

…

She drank until she was half-drunk, and her body felt light and tipsy. Watching the night sky with glassy eyes, her heart felt empty, only then did she had the courage to pick up the phone.

She dialed that all-too-familiar number.

“Hello?” “Little Chenyan…”

Yuan Xuan’s voice came through the speaker, and it felt as if it was from a lifetime ago!

Mu Chenyan was quiet. “…”

All the grievances that had surged deep down in her instantly turned into tears…

The fatigue from her body and the double psychological pain caused her to only cry and not be able to do anything else.

Just like that, Mu Chenyan did not utter a single word but only covered her mouth and sobbed quietly. Even she herself did not know why she was crying so sorrowfully.

Tears trickled down her fingers, fleeing in all directions…

The guttural sound deep in her throat was expressing her suppression and dissatisfaction.

She hated him!

She hated him for traveling away and had not even contacted her for two days!

She hated him for trapping her in this Yuan Family cage, and she was almost degraded by that beast tonight!

She hated that he was not by her side when she was wronged!

She hated him for picking up the phone on its first ring and called her “Little Chenyan…” with that damn magnetic voice of his.

“What’s wrong?”

Yuan Xuan observed that she was not saying anything but kept crying all along and he could not hold it in any longer, “My wife, what happened?” “Are you missing me?”

Mu Chenyan felt that he did that on purpose. He had deliberately caused her to be in an even more sorry state, hence he had used such a gentle tone with a trace of attachment in it to trigger her!

It was as if among the two who were arguing with each other, whoever who lowered one’s head first would be the one to admit defeat.

It so happened that she was the one who had given in easily and was the first one to make the call. However, apart from crying, there was nothing else that she could express…

Should she tell him that she was nearly violated?

Should she tell him that she really missed him?

Should she tell him that regarding him bringing Zhao Ruoxin to Liu Li Villa, she actually took the matter to heart but had to pretend that it did not matter?

Should she tell him that what Yuan Zhe mentioned of him exterminating the Mu Family in the near future frightened her?

She could say nothing!

There were not many people she could love and trust in this world. Yuan Xuan used to be her God, the bearer of all her thoughts! Even then, it so happened that the person she did not dare to love and trust was also him…

Holding the phone, the suppressive cry lasted for as long as ten minutes.

Yuan Xuan quietly waited for her to finish crying, and then his low voice comforted, “I’m sorry.” “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault.”

Yuan Xuan kept apologizing.

He seemed to have read her thoughts.

Mu Chenyan sobbed and sniffled. She could not tell how it was his fault, but after having vent the grievances in her heart and followed by his apology, she gradually became presumptuous.

She could not control her emotions, and with a slightly nasal and sullen voice, she remarked in a reprimanding and coquettish manner, “It’s not your fault… It’s me who shouldn’t have made this call and harass your pleasant dream… I shouldn’t have disturbed your happy holiday with Miss Zhao…”

Sour, sour, sour…

As she finished, she hung up and switched her phone off…
