Yuan Xuan could not help but chuckle as he reminisced about the past.

His slightly knitted brows displayed feelings of tenderness as he reached out to brush away the messy hairs on her forehead.

During the day, Mu Chenyan slept very lightly. Whenever she heard noises, her eyes would spring open. However, this time, she was greeted with Yuan Xuan’s dark pupils. The deeply affectionate man could not hide his affection and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

“Were there any gowns that you liked?”

After the two breathlessly let go of each other, Yuan Xuan leaned his forehead against hers and asked softly.

“I’ve chosen the champagne-colored gown.”

Mu Chenyan turned sideways and picked up her phone from the table before turning it on. In it were some pictures of her taken by Yuan Tian.

Yuan Tian looked at the gorgeous woman in the pictures and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

“Everything really does look good on you. I’m sure you’ll be the one all the young ladies of the aristocratic families try to emulate.”

Yuan Xuan did not hesitate to give her compliments, something that he almost never did in the past.

Back in those days, Yuan Xuan seemed oblivious to her beauty.

At the time, Mu Chenyan genuinely felt that the only beauty in Yuan Xuan’s eyes was Shu Qinger…

Even on the eve of their wedding day, the interaction between the two was never as intimate as today!

Mu Chenyan was startled. She thought back to her speculation in the hospital today and her heart became uneasy.

Now that she thought of it, she did not even know what was the reason why Yuan Xuan had gone to the Mu Family to ask for her hand!

At that time, she was on cloud nine and just thought that all her hard work and sincerity had finally paid off.

Nevertheless, Yuan Xuan had a meticulous mind and was always well-prepared and crafty. He had always been extremely orderly in everything he did.

Living amongst the aristocratic families and standing above all the other powerhouses in Luo Hai whilst relying on the deeds and riches of his father was never going to be enough.

Yuan Xuan always had a motive in whatever he did. In the earlier years, the other aristocratic families who had competed with Yuan Family were rich in heritage, but they nonetheless ended up being crushed by the Yuan Family in a startling display of Yuan Xuan’s abilities.

The Mu Family at the time held a prominent position in Luo Hai. Due to the deep ties between the parents’ generation, the Yuan Family and Mu Family came together in marriage and joined forces. This win-win collaboration was well-received by the public.

Needless to say, the following course of events was truly unexpected.

The Yuan Family had suddenly dealt a fatal blow and crushed the Mu Family.

Looking back on it now, that marriage seemed like a joke!

Mu Chenyan had nothing left, and now that Yuan Xuan was being this affectionate, Mu Chenyan was finding it harder and harder to understand him.

All these sudden changes in his character must have a cause that she was oblivious to!

Moreover, the only person who could explain all this to her was Yuan Xuan himself.

“Yuan Xuan, could you tell me… the reason why you’re being so nice to me…”

“It’s because you’re my wife!”

Yuan Xuan interrupted Mu Chenyan and pulled her up from the chair into his embrace. “Is Mrs. Yuan satisfied with my answer?”

“Then, what about the reason behind you making me Mrs. Yuan?” Mu Chenyan could not help but prod deeper.

“Didn’t you spend more than ten years of your life pursuing me?”

The handsome man smiled sinisterly.

There was nothing more Mu Chenyan could say.

She had pursued him for more than ten years, and that was the truth.

Yuan Xuan’s charm was already lethal enough, but with them being this intimate, Mu Chenyan was unable to hold out any longer.

She wanted to break free of his restraint and struggled a little to no avail. “I’m not sure anymore…”

“Thinking of a divorce? Forget about it!”

Yuan Xuan immediately stopped her from finishing her sentence!

He reached out and lifted her pointy chin, his rough thumb caressing her pink lips.

“If you ever bring up this matter again, I’ll make sure you’ll be unable to get out of bed – and that’s a promise!”

His warm breath tickled her eardrums, sending waves of delight through her body…

Mu Chenyan looked up and felt like his dark figure seemed much taller and straighter in the late autumn evening. This exaggerated figure exuded a powerful aura that made her feel much smaller than usual. Who knew that what awaited her after uttering those words would be his aggressive advances!

Mu Chenyan’s body stiffened, and the little pride and courage that she had completely collapsed under the lustful gaze of his onyx eyes.

“I’m… I’m just casually… asking…”

The woman dismissed her previous bravado for the first time since her return and replied in a low voice.

This delicate and submissive attitude caused Yuan Xuan to be in a great mood. Deep in herself still existed the old Mu Chenyan!
