27.59% Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You / Chapter 109: Hopefully, Their Kids Would Have the Same Appetite As Her

Chapter 109: Hopefully, Their Kids Would Have the Same Appetite As Her

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Meanwhile, on the other side of the compound, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Xuan had officially entered a cold war.

This woman was already conflicted between love and hate toward Yuan Xuan, but after overhearing the conversation he had with Grandmother, the word 'bedmate' had been deeply ingrained into her brain. Now, every time she looked at Yuan Xuan, she would only be able to think of this.

Yuan Xuan was not aware of the tremendous psychological change she had undergone. He just brushed it off as her being temperamental and throwing a fit. He felt that her mood would eventually improve if he left her alone for a while.

Hence, he went about in his usual aloof and cold manner, not really too concerned.

Mu Chenyan saw that he was not paying much attention to her and she concluded that her speculation was correct.

He did not care about her!

If that was the case, then they would eventually go their separate ways.

Not to mention, she had already been dispirited when it came to the intimate activity between a man and a woman. However, now that there was an emotional barrier in her heart, she would struggle to carry it out even more!

Hence, whenever Yuan Xuan wanted to be affectionate with her, she would give all sorts of excuses to evade his advances.

Sometimes, it would be that she was feeling unwell, while on other occasions, she would pretend to be asleep while he was still bathing.

Moreover, her menstruation had kindly come to visit her for a few days. So to sum it up, she had not needed to carry out her 'duty' for more than half a month.

Fortunately, her 'boss', Yuan Xuan, was rather lenient, so he tolerated her excuses.

When Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan could be so easily bullied, she became bolder and gave the excuse that the tatami in the small tea room on the first floor was very comfortable and that she was able to keep warm better there. Thus, she eventually moved down to the first floor.

Yuan Xuan, who's wife had warmed his bed for less than three months, went back to experiencing life as a bachelor. ...

Yuan Xuan was annoyed, but he had no place to vent.

Hence, Yan Jun and Kang Yu had to bear the brunt of his frustrations.

The two top-rated assistants did not know that the reason why their boss' temper was so bad was that his desires were not being met!

They just knew that this black-faced king of hell was venting his frustrations by cruelly dealing with certain people.

These people worked within the boundaries of Luo Hai and had been up to no good for some time, and Yuan Xuan had long wanted to take action against them.

Although he should have acted sooner, when he did come around to it, he handled his task efficiently and coldly, which was a little abnormal...

A few of the aristocratic families' older generation could not sit still as the people he had targeted were their minions. With the Yuan Family not showing any mercy, the old folks filled up the company lobby...

The two assistants were deeply distressed.

Tian Qi was slow by nature and did not know how to read people's facial expression, hence he was not as troubled as the other two.

The only changes he noted was that Yuan Xuan had recently lost his appetite. Tian Qi would help Yuan Xuan to finish his meals whenever the latter had leftovers. This was because having been an orphan when he was young, he knew what a waste it was to throw food away. Before he knew it, he had put on more than ten pounds this half a month...

Tian Qi was stupefied!

As they entered the final parts of November, Luo Hai's winter came suddenly, and the first snow caught everyone by surprise as it blanketed the entire Southeast Region.

However, even when it snowed, winter in Luo Hai was not that cold. The people who had not seen snow all year round viewed this first snowfall as a joyful event.

It rarely snowed in the south. Those who grew up in Luo Hai would normally have to fly to the north if they wanted to watch the snow fall and witness this spectacular scene.

Hence, the young and old in the Yuan Family excitedly ran to the courtyard to watch the snow after the news spread. It was definitely a jovial time!

Old Mistress was so elated that she gave the order to the kitchen to have steamboat at the Upper Mansion that night to chase away the cold.

Due to the petroleum development in the southeast sea region that they had conducted in collaboration with the Shao Family, Yuan Xuan had become extremely preoccupied and had not had dinner with Old Mistress for a long time.

Thus, Old Mistress called Yuan Xuan and urged him to come home early for dinner.

"Can the Shao Family's kid come?" Old Mistress Yuan was still thinking about her matchmaking role when she asked this.

"Oh, I forgot to inform Grandmother that Yibai has returned to the Capital City. He'll only be back much later."

It wouldn't be suitable for them to begin to project in winter, so after confirming the contract, Shao Yibai had gone back to the Capital City. There were still other important matters in the Shao Family that the heir was required to attend to!

Old Mistress was slightly disappointed. Yuan Ran had mentioned a few times that it was not easy to meet Shao Yibai.

"Alright then, what does Little Xuan want to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it." He was Old Mistress' most favored grandchild. Giving him preferential treatment was nothing unusual.

Yuan Xuan recalled that his woman loved to eat seafood steamboat, so he gently requested, "Little Xuan's thinking of eating seafood."

Old Mistress was so delighted that she could not help but smile from ear to ear. "Whatever you want to eat, I'll have Butler Fu go buy. One can buy fresh seafood during any time and season in Luo Hai."


Chapter 110: She Had Simply Grown Arrogant from Being Over-Pampered

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hanging up, Yuan Xuan could not help but laugh at himself.

In reality, he had a weak stomach since young, and he could not eat anything that was greasy or that could irritate his stomach. However, Mu Chenyan was a foodie. Hopefully, their kids would have the same appetite as her.

As he thought about kids, Yuan Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he began to have some doubts.

He had been working hard to sow to seeds, but there seemed to be no response in that woman's body.

He began to regret the agreement he had with her. Three times per week? Was it too little?

He was reviewing a document in his office and became lost in his thoughts thinking of that woman.

He began to ridicule himself as he thought about the tri-weekly sessions.

He had forgotten that that vicious woman, for some unknown reason, had been sleeping separately from him...

She was getting increasingly bolder and had simply grown arrogant from being over-pampered!

The dinner was held in the large dining hall in the Upper Mansion.

When Old Master was still around, he loved to be surrounded by people and to enjoy a lively atmosphere. Hence, later on, he greatly expanded the size of this dining hall and had it renovated luxuriously as he dreamt of a lively scene where his children and grandchildren would dine together.

The wide floral-carved sandalwood long table could seat more than 20 people around it without a problem.

Old Mistress usually did not eat here. Nearer to the kitchen was a small dining room, which was where she normally had her meals when she was alone.

Today there were many people, so the atmosphere in the large dining hall livened up very quickly. Old Mistress could not help but smile from ear to ear.

When Yuan Xuan arrived with Mu Chenyan, the white marble bowls and chopsticks had already been placed in position, and the nice-looking small bronze charcoal pots had been readied.

Butler Fu had purchased the old-fashioned small bronze single pots with came equipped with a charcoal burner specifically for the steamboat today. This was for two reasons - first, to keep warm, and second, because Old Mistress liked these kinds of traditional things.

Since it was a proper gathering, it was best if Old Mistress was in the best possible mood.

Everyone gathered around the table. Previously, each one of them had an assigned seating position. Old Mistress would sit at the head of the table, while the rest would be seated according to their age and seniority.

However, with the addition of Mu Chenyan and Zhao Ruoxin today, there was a slight change in their seating.

Initially, Old Mistress had wanted Zhao Ruoxin to sit at the seat right beside her, but she did not expect Zhao Ruoxin to come up with her own plan.

"Grandmother, I'll sit with the brothers and sisters, then we can talk easily..."

Old Mistress felt that this made sense. She had come to the Yuan Family some time back, and though she looked similar to Shu Qinger, she had not, after all, experienced living together with everyone yet. It would be good for her to take this opportunity to become more familiar with the other brothers and sisters.

Yuan Tian stared at the woman with a suspicious glare. She was trying to figure out what kind of trick Zhao Ruoxin was up to.

Mu Chenyan had not spoken a word to Yuan Xuan from the moment they had entered the room.

When they sat down, she stuck close to Yuan Tian. By doing so, she left an empty seat between her and Yuan Xuan.

Meanwhile, Yuan Tian wanted to know if this woman would be so shameless as to sit beside Yuan Xuan in the presence of Mu Chenyan.

She did not expect Zhao Ruoxin to really walk over and take a seat beside Yuan Xuan.

Yuan Tian could not stand it, and just as she was about to blow her cool, Mu Chenyan tugged at her underneath the table and shook her head.

Yuan Tian shot Mu Chenyan an enquiring gaze — what is going between you and my brother? Did you two quarreled?

Mu Chenyan did not want to talk about it. Although she was secretly disgusted by Zhao Ruoxin's actions, she would just be asking for trouble if she were to stand up now and chase her away in the presence of Grandmother.

Old Mistress'over-protectiveness toward her was extremely obvious. Mu Chenyan was not stupid. If she were to voice out her annoyance in front of her, it would give Old Mistress the chance to reprimand her in front of everyone.

Zhao Ruoxin was rather well-behaved as she sat down, smiling faintly and commenting, "I heard from Grandmother that when Elder Sister was young, Elder Sister would always brazenly bother Brother Xuan during meal times. She would take have a bite after Elder Brother himself had a bite..."

Yuan Xuan's cold face remained unchanged. It carried the same coldness, as if the story about Qinger she had just brought up had all but been forgotten by him!

His eyes, however, were fixed on Mu Chenyan.

'Foolish woman. How can she allow others to sit beside her own husband just like that?'
