Yuan Xuan snorted before bursting out into laughter. His large hands wrapped around her shoulders, but he dared not be any more intimat out of fear that he would have to take another cold shower to suppress any surging desires.

“I know that I can’t be always be enjoying free meals in the Yuan Family, so I’ll contribute as best as I can.”

Mu Chenyan said while frowning. Some level of self-sacrifice was necessary.

Her innocent eyes glimmered, and her small face snuggled closer to Yuan Xuan’s waist. From Yuan Xuan’s perspective, she looked so adorable that he wanted to become affectionate with her.

Yuan Xuan reached out to pinch her face. “I like it when you’re obedient.”

Mu Chenyan continued to blink her big eyes before lightly rubbing her head against his waist.

Her cat-like nature was in play!

Yuan Xuan did not say anything, but it was apparent that he liked this kind of silent interaction.

Mu Chenyan felt that the timing was right, so she quietly asked, “How about I go and get a job? Then, I can contribute more to the household…”

Yuan Xuan’s expression immediately changed. From the way this woman had been behaving, he had suspected that she carried some underlying motive!

Previously, he had thought that she was acting cute, but it seemed that he had underestimated her!

Fortunately, he had gotten used to her unpredictability over the past few days.

Yuan Xuan purposely did not call her out, but instead asked her in a low voice, “You want a job? What can you do?”

Yuan Xuan was genuinely curious. How would this woman act if she were to leave his sight?

“You mean you agree?”

Mu Chenyan was exhilarated and tried her best to hide her delight, but joy was written all over her small face. Her large, black eyes prompted Yuan Xuan to bite his tongue. When she wore this face, she looked to just like a kitten.

“Yeah. You can think about what job you want. Maybe I can lend you a hand.”

Yuan Xuan spoke with sincerity, and this was, of course, the truth.

In reality, he had hoped that she would not go out to work, but Mu Chenyan should similarly not grow to become an unlearned and unskilled lady!

Her talent meant that she was destined to lead a life that was far from quiet and stable.

Although she would intentionally conceal her radiance, there was always this sense of restlessness in her. It was just that sometimes she was not prepared to show it.

“Hmm… I haven’t figured it out yet. When I got one in mind, I’ll let you know!”

Mu Chenyan decided to quit while she was ahead.

She could not disclose anything yet. At least not before she had settled the matter with Wu Ze – she could not risk having Yuan Xuan meddling in it.

“Alright then, do as you wish. If you want to go out, go ahead.” Yuan Xuan shifted his grip and pulled her even closer.

He was like a huge warm furnace. Even after taking a cold shower, he would heat up rapidly, making his smooth skin almost uncomfortably hot to touch!

Mu Chenyan buried her face into his waist and mumbled, “Thank you, Brother Xuan…”

In the days that followed, Yuan Xuan would regularly go to work in the daytime and shower his wife with love at night.

Because of her hidden motive, Mu Chenyan activated her obedient-wife-mode once again.

Whenever Yuan Xuan indulged himself in the pleasures of the flesh, she would accommodate. Even when she was exhausted to death, she would still grit her teeth and satisfy him. After all, there was no task in this world that was not laborious.

Not to mention, compared to other jobs, accompanying a first-rate handsome man to sleep was not a bad task!

Yuan Xuan really acted in accordance with the agreement — three times per week, no exceptions. The only difference in sessions is that sometimes, it would only happen once, whilst other times it would last the whole night…

Every time she was feeling worn out with her back aching, dark circles under her eyes, and could not help but wish to sleep in for the entire morning, only to wake up and find Yuan Xuan in a satiated state with his face glowing as he left for work, she would sit on the third floor of the small building and reflect on life…

When Zhao Ruoxin moved into the Yuan Family, there was no storm clouds which signalled a coming storm. On the contrary, everything was peaceful. In fact, it was overly calm in the Yuan Family!

With Ruoxin for company, Old Mistress’ mood improved significantly.

She was at a great age now, and it was not right for her to owe anyone favors. Since she had liked Qinger in the first place, and since there was now a substitute here to satisfy Old Mistress’ psychological needs, none of the family members dared say anything.
