Yuan Xuan remained completely silent after he sat down on his chair. As steam rose from the food that Ah Fu prepared, the man’s gloomy expression became less clear through the vapor.

Mu Chenyan wisely decided not to provoke the unpredictable man.

She chose a seat that was some distance away from him before she quietly sat upright. Her eyes occasionally met that man’s gaze that constantly swept across her as various doubts stirred in her heart.

Both of them ate their meals extremely quietly.

Since Mu Chenyan had already bathed, she took a book and lazily sat on the sofa after she finished eating. Meanwhile, Yuan Xuan went to shower in the bathroom upstairs.

Yuan Xuan had not spoken to her since he had returned until now. She carefully pondered this, but concluded that she had not upset him.

Could it be that he was uneasy because of some problem in the office?

It was already so difficult to figure out someone else’s thoughts. However, a proud and aloof person like Yuan Xuan would find it even more difficult to share his problems. Hence, was it wrong for her to assume that he would not share his worries with her?

When she thought of these things, Mu Chenyan felt that it was unnecessary for her to keep scratching her head over it. He was free to do as he pleased while she would merely refrain from provoking him.

After reading for a while, she felt her eyelids lower slightly. Furthermore, since she had suffered a scare last night and spent most of the night on the rocking chair in the third floor of the house, she had not slept well at all.

However, she was inwardly apprehensive about the bed in the master bedroom. If she had to sleep on that bed, she would probably go to the next room instead.

Her terribly nervous mind relaxed when Yuan Xuan returned. Now that her mind had calmed down, it was natural for her to feel sleepy.

Mu Chenyan stood up and stretched, but her body was pulled into the man’s strong embrace before she could even gather her thoughts.

Stunned, Mu Chenyan said, “You…”

Glimmering water droplets shimmered on Yuan Xuan’s solid chest while his two distinctly veiny pectoral muscles and his six perfect abdominal muscles openly plastered themselves against her soft body…

Although they had already made love to each other numerous times, Mu Chenyan would still feel hot and bothered every time their skin touched. A kind of bashfulness would arise throughout every cell in her body while she would be quickly filled with passion as she got heated up… The smell of his body right after his shower was infused with the smell of male hormones. These smells dominated her nostrils and hastened Mu Chenyan’s breathing. Her heartbeat quickened and her voice trembled as she asked, “You ignored me ever since you returned but you’re acting like this now…” Her gaze fell on the man’s seductive Adam’s apple when she spoke. It bobbed up and down, and Mu Chenyan could not help but

gulp as she thought to herself, ‘Was this a feast for the eyes?’

Yuan Xuan’s eyes did not lock onto hers when he saw her blushing. Her upright facial features were exquisite and enchanting, especially her little cherry-like mouth. When she opened and closed it, the man could only think of kissing her…

However, the beast that he suppressed in his heart began to wantonly snarl when he remembered that someone else might have enjoyed this cherry as well. His gaze turned venomous before he lowered his raspy voice and asked, “Where did you go during the two days I was gone?”

Mu Chenyan had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would still want to check up on her after he returned.

His apathetic gaze wandered freely about her face, but she could detect his suspicion.

Mu Chenyan felt somewhat helpless but she was still slightly annoyed.

He had no right to act so arrogantly. After all, she had tacitly accepted the fact that he had openly taken another woman with impure intentions on holiday. He was being a hypocrite by implying that she was the monster.

“I didn’t go anywhere! I merely went to the hospital to visit my mother before I went clothes shopping. You saw everything…”

“Other than that?” Yuan Xuan’s voice was deep and raspy. He gently grasped her slim neck with both hands while waves of darkness surged about his sinister eyes.

These words were like a sharp sword that had stabbed him directly in the heart…
