After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xuan got even more heavy-hearted because of his conversation with Wu Ze!

His noble bloodline and good upbringing prevented him from lashing out. However, he needed an outlet to release the stuffiness in his heart!

He stood up and took two bottles of aged Moula from the private wine cellar at the back of the building.

…

Yuan Xuan first met Wu Ze when they were studying abroad together.

They were both the children of the noble families in Luo Hai City, and both of them abandoned the profession that was passed down by their ancestors and chose to fight alone in their chosen paths. They were both equally rebellious and capable. Thus, they got along quickly and became bosom friends!

However, there was also an incident which helped form their friendship!

The Yuan Family was too well-known. During the early days, while building the family’s achievements, they offended quite a number of people.

The dark forces abroad knew that the Yuan Family Mansion’s only son, Yuan Xuan was studying abroad. Moreover, this 20 years old young man might be the Yuan Family’s successor. How could they give up on such a good opportunity?

There was once when Yuan Xuan was being chased after by an enemy. Wu Ze put his life at risk to help his friend and he was shot twice!

This young man was really lucky. Both of the bullets seemed to have grown a pair of eyes and none of them hit his vital parts. Despite that, Wu Ze still stayed in the hospital for three months, and his chest and abdomen were left with two, unpleasant-looking bullet hole scars.

At that time, Wu Ze even joked, “Since my seductive muscular body is ruined, you must take responsibility for me! ”

Yuan Xuan punched his chest and said, “I’ll help you get any woman you like! ”

“Che~ Who needs help with this kind of thing? “I, the Young Master of the Wu Family could do it easily with just my face! ”

Ever since then, Wu Ze was part of Yuan Xuan’s life circle. In Yuan Xuan’s words, he owed Wu Ze his life!

…

Yuan Xuan thought about Wu Ze’s attitude towards Mu Chenyan and his heart went cold.

He never thought that one day, his best friend would fall in love with his woman…

Although Wu Ze did not directly admit it, his attitude explained everything!

Wu Ze was not an emotional person, but he labeled him as a ‘selfish guy’ because of a woman!

***

Mu Chenyan woke up in the middle of the night and felt extremely thirsty.

She did not see Yuan Xuan in the room. Since Ah Fu had already gone to bed, she got up and went to the kitchen on the first floor to pour herself a cup of water.

It felt very comfortable stepping on the wooden stairs barefoot!

Mu Chenyan did not notice that the man on the sofa in the first floor’s living room. He was staring at her with his piercing and distant gaze!

“Ah!

“You… Why isn’t there any sound… when you walk?”

After drinking a cup of water beside the water dispenser, Mu Chenyan turned around and bumped into a firm chest. She felt a surge of cool hormonal aura spreading towards her aggressively and she was at a loss on what to do.

Yuan Xuan pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

She was shivering from the sudden scare and her slender body became even tenser due to the tension.

Both of them leaned against each other and they could feel one another’s warmth. Mu Chenyan felt a hot sensation all over her body and she instinctively wanted to resist!

Yuan Xuan’s breath was somewhat unstable and he was starring at Mu Chenyan with his deep dark eyes. He felt her resisting and he tightened his hug around her. He whispered into her ears, “Chenyan… Chenyan…”

Mu Chenyan detected the smell of red wine!

It seemed like he drank quite a bit. She glanced at the coffee table and sofa, there were wine bottles and glasses scattered all over it…

“You drank too much, I’ll help you back to the room! ”

Mu Chenyan tried to slip her hand out to support Yuan Xuan, but he did not allow her to escape!

His breath became heavy. The sweet aroma of red wine in his breath was like waves, crashing non-stop onto Mu Chenyan!

“Ever since you got back, the number of words that we spoke could not even compare to the past hour…”

Yuan Xuan’s arms were as firm as iron. He was mumbling, but it sounded more like he was complaining about how Mu Chenyan was so cold and heartless today!

“In the past, I was the one who talked more and you’ve always been like this!

“It’s just that I don’t feel like talking as much now, which is why you feel weird…”

Mu Chenyan’s voice was not loud. It was soft and gentle, but it did not sound like she was pouting. Instead, it sounded more like a petty complaint!
