As he looked down from on them, the stern man's handsome appearance and imposing aura instantly subdued all the other men who were present.
Even Wu Ze was forced to admit that he could not rival Yuan Xuan when that brat acted so suavely.
This man who seemed as though he had descended directly from heaven caused the women who were harboring sinister intentions to grit their teeth. How did Mu Chenyan win the heart of such an amazing man.
Yuan Xuan's voice was not loud, but it was sufficient enough to intimidate the guests. His question was directed at Feng Rao, but his gaze was fixed on Mu Chenyan's face as he seemed to stare directly into her soul.
The commanding air in his gaze was apparent. When she recalled that these were the same eyes that he had every night during his insatiable ravaging, Mu Chenyan shivered.
How much had he overheard?
This man could well be the reincarnation of a meticulous and tyrannical deity! Yuan Tian had recently lamented that if not for Mu Chenyan who had brought her to the third floor of the Hibiscus Garden, she could not have ever entered the area.
If he looked after the flowers and plants in his garden so carefully, what more his own woman?
Meanwhile, Feng Rao was trembling with fright!
She had never expected Yuan Xuan to suddenly appear and back up Mu Chenyan.
Thus, she planned her escape as Yuan Xuan gracefully strode toward Mu Chenyan.
His strong and powerful arms wrapped around Mu Chenyan's slim waist. His overbearing aura was so powerful that even Wu Ze who was standing by his side could not help but hold his breath. It was as if he was a supernova, ready to explode.
Mu Chenyan was evidently scared. Her little face glowed red as she quietly said, "This doesn't concern Wu Ze! Wu Ze is a real gentleman so don't listen to her nonsense..."
"Don't defend other men. Or do you want me to reaffirm my position?"
Yuan Xuan spoke in a hushed tone such that his comment was only audible to the two of them. However, Mu Chenyan was not stupid and could tell that this man was issuing a warning.
Mu Chenyan was so frightened that her body began to quake. Her little hand tightly grasped Yuan Xuan's arm before she quietly pleaded, "I know that you want to show your authority, but this isn't the time..."
Yuan Xuan sneered. His handsome appearance carried both angelic and devilish features confused the nearby onlookers. He lowered his voice and murmured into Mu Chenyan's ears, "I can go about my territory as I please!"
From an onlooker's perspective, Third Young Master Yuan seemed to merely be behaving dubiously with his wife.
Looks of admiration from the men and envious glances from the women filled the air as they stared at the couple...
Mu Chenyan's expression changed. Her pale fingers gingerly caressed the man's powerful arms before her voice quivered and said, "I just accept it when other people bully me, but don't tell me that you're taking the opportunity to bully me as well..."
This puppy-dog acting was a special weapon of the old Mu Chenyan!
Yuan Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
This woman had been cold and devoid of warmth for so long. However, now that she was displaying her feminine side and pretending to be weak, she truly resembled someone who was acting like a spoiled child. This was very much like the old Mu Chenyan!
Mu Chenyan had truly been a unique character in the past.
She could be simultaneously adorable and strong. When she was rational, she resembled a coldly efficient assassin or a strong and powerful congresswoman. Conversely, when she shamelessly acted like a pampered child, she could rely on her looks to win. Thus, she achieved numerous "kills" this way, winning over the hearts of countless men who coveted her!
When he thought of how he dominated a woman like this every night, Yuan Xuan's previously gloomy mood briefly took a turn for the better.
"I'm the only one who can bully you. If anyone else dares to take advantage of you, I won't let them off easy."
Suddenly, Yuan Xuan's tone shifted back as his cold eyes ferociously glared in Feng Rao's direction.
"Yuan... Young Master Yuan... I didn't mean to..."
Feng Rao currently resembled a piece of roasted meat on a charcoal grill. The longer she stayed here bearing the heat, the more nervous she became!
One could not tell from Yuan Xuan's appearance that he was furious, but she was frozen with fear nonetheless!
