Yuan Tian left Hibiscus Garden with a heart full of anxiousness.

Yuan Xuan knew very well that the woman would come and grovel at him, thus he intentionally stopped talking to her and instead went to the study room first. In reality, he did not have any official business to handle. He simply wanted to speak to Shao Yibai.

Shao Yibai would come and visit the Yuan Family as well as see Old Mistress during the Spring Lantern Festival. Thus, Yuan Xuan got Shao Yibai to visit Shao Jingshan on his behalf as he had already sent his year-end gift over much earlier.

Yuan Xuan’s heart became rather uneasy when Shao Yibai mentioned that his mother missed Yuan Xuan. Although Shao Yibai’s mother, Jiao Shufen, and his own mother were merely cousins, their appearances were extremely similar.

Both of them shared a very good relationship before they got married. However, no one would imagine that Jiao Shuzhen’s health would steadily deteriorate after she had given birth to Yuan Xuan. After Yuan Tangbai passed away, his wife followed suit shortly after. With this, Jiao Shufen’s yearning for her cousin was transferred onto Yuan Xuan. Thus, Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan developed a deep bond ever since they were little because of this.

Yuan Xuan’s heart was filled with remorse upon hearing that his aunt was thinking of him. It was true that he had rarely visited Capital City to see her ever since he had returned from abroad.

“I’ll go to Capital City with you to visit her and the others in a few days.” Yuan Xuan promised.

Once the video call ended, Yuan Xuan lifted his head and looked at his woman who was dressed in the sexiest scarlet lingerie in her closet, which was made of real velvet. She seemed rather bashful as she seductively stood at the doorway.

His heart jumped for joy when he realized that she had fallen for his trap.

“Mrs Yuan, I assume that you’re acting so flirtatiously now because you have something to request from me? Hmm?” Yuan Xuan lowered his voice on purpose, shrouding it in a mocking tone.

He recalled how she would start off gently before gradually becoming firmer whenever she wanted something from him. Hence, he decided to act first and bait her this time around. Once he had done this, he saw very quickly that this silly woman had resorted to her old tricks of honey trapping him again.

“Yeah… Ho… Honey…” Mu Chenyan looked extremely uncomfortable. She repeatedly glanced at Yuan Xuan’s face before she sweetly called out to him.

Yuan Xuan’s body stiffened. Why did it sound so pleasing to hear her intimately calling him by this title?

“Hmm? Can you say it again? I couldn’t hear you clearly!” Yuan Xuan’s childish behavior caused Mu Chenyan to gnash her teeth.

He had obviously properly heard her but was intentionally making things difficult for her.

Mu Chenyan had no other choice but to soldier on for Yuan Tian and Yan Jiangsheng. Her face reddened as she shouted, “Honey, shouldn’t you be resting?”

When she spoke, she turned her head toward one side and bit her lip. She blushed while looking like a delicate girl who was desperately trying to appear alluring.

She was unaware that Yuan Xuan became more excited the more she acted this way.

Without saying another word, Yuan Xuan rushed over and picked her up bridal-style. His imposing figure immediately smothered her with an aura and intensity that was unique to males, and did not show any signs of stopping.

Yuan Xuan carried her to the bedroom while his heart frantically thumped in his chest. His breathing became slightly uneven before he croaked, “Mistress was right, I should be resting. However, I can’t do without my pre-sleep exercises.” Stunned, Mu Chenyan stared at Yuan Xuan’s seductive jawline.

When Yuan Xuan saw her like this, he could not help but tease her, “Mrs Yuan, you shouldn’t assume that you can get me to do whatever you want simply by carelessly teasing me.

“If you have a request, shouldn’t you give me something in exchange too?”

He stuffed Mu Chenyan under the covers, but she immediately pulled the blanket off and whispered, “Will you let Yan Jiangsheng off if I sleep with you…”

Mu Chenyan felt that she had said something unnecessary but she would feel truly guilty if she just stood by and allowed Yan Jiangsheng to be attacked for no reason.

She also could not go back on her word because she had already promised Yuan Tian that she would attempt to honey trap Yuan Xuan (TN: Using romantic or sexual relationships to manipulate others) to resolve the matter with her brother. However, once she put on her sexy sleepwear and ran over, her intentions became obvious. Hence, there was naturally no need for her to act restrained before Yuan Xuan – it would have been more efficient for her to just directly start negotiating terms with him.

“Yes! I was thinking that I could consider this if Mistress was willing to pay me with her body for a year. After all, earning money isn’t as important to me as my wife.” Yuan Xuan shamelessly grinned before his dark figure lowered itself onto her…
