The questions shocked Zhao Ruoxin.
Both of Yuan Xuan’s hands were clasped on his forehead while his sharp gaze was directed at Zhao Ruoxin. He did not want to miss any details.
This man was already a composed and dark person. When he used this gaze to scrutinize others, anyone would feel threatened by the piercing coldness that seemed to be able to see through everything.
Zhao Ruoxin was momentarily speechless before she looked at Grandmother for help.
Old Mistress sighed to indicate that she was somewhat unhappy with Yuan Xuan’s attitude.
She quietly said, "I told Ruoxin many things about Qinger when she was younger.
As sisters, their genetics would naturally be similar. When Ruoxin said that she had fallen gravely ill several times when she was younger, I thought about it and realized that Qinger had gotten terribly sick at around the same time too. It looks like these two beauties were destined to have a close sisterly bond – their hearts were linked!"
Old Mistress’ eyes were filled with tender affection as she said this.
It looked like she really wanted to raise Zhao Ruoxin as if she was Shu Qinger.
"If you’re unwilling to accompany her to Liu Li Villa, then I’ll do it instead!"
When she saw that Yuan Xuan was still acting in this way, Old Mistress finally used her trump card.
Old Mistress Yuan was willing to go overboard for the sake of this girl who was an outsider from another family.
However, it was inadvisable for elderly people to engage in outdoor activities during the colder seasons of autumn and winter. Even if Yuan Xuan was not completely obedient, he would not allow her to act so recklessly.
It was difficult to comprehend why people became more stubborn as they grew older.
Mu Chenyan saw that Yuan Xuan’s expression had been gloomy all this while and realized that not only was this man insufferably arrogant, he had been manipulating others all this while. However, after being pushed around by these women today, his heart probably felt horribly suffocated.
According to a famous saying, three people were a crowd. I n this house, the three women here were clearly lively. 1
"Since it’s come to
Yuan Xuan suddenly changed his stance as the creases on his face became much gentler. He fixed his gaze on her, but his tone was just as deep as before. Moreover, he affectionately addressed her as "Ruoxin" now, instead of the previous "Miss Zhao" that made them seem distant.
These changes made Zhao Ruoxin unexpectedly happy. It could even be said that she was beside herself with joy.
She excitedly tugged at Yuan Xuan’s sleeve while her light-hearted smile showed off her glowing white teeth. "Brother Xuan, you’re too kind. I was really worried that you weren’t going to agree…"
Yuan Xuan faintly furrowed his eyebrows and calmly touched his shirt sleeve before he unintentionally glanced at Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan subtly twitched, but her face remained cold and gloomy. She icily scrutinized Yuan Xuan and Zhao Ruoxin as her heart silently cursed.
Hmph! Was this not the wrong place to act in a spoiled manner? Were they assuming that the mistress was blind?
Moreover, what happened to the man’s freaking germaphobia? Mu Chenyan thought that he was making a fool out of himself!
Yuan Xuan’s gaze continued to observe Mu Chenyan’s face. The woman then intentionally revealed a faint smirk before she turned away and forced him to look at the back of her head.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ruoxin was still rattling on.
"I heard Grandmother say that Brother Xuan has made Liu Li Villa very beautiful and that it contains rare plants from the outside world. Moreover, there are even some plants there that can’t be found anywhere else on the planet. Most people have never even gotten Brother Xuan’s permission to go there!"
They couldn’t tell whether Zhao Ruoxin was truly stupid, or if she was intentionally bragging. Her gentle voice continuously droned on as if she was the most excited person in the world.
In order to drown out her presence, Mu Chenyan softened the sound of her breathing and acted as if the woman in front of her was not talking about her husband.
At this point, Zhao Ruoxin suddenly turned around and asked Mu Chenyan, "Chenyan, are you coming with us to Liu Li Villa?"
Her tone already made her feelings obvious. She was hoping that Mu Chenyan would say no…
A weary and indescribable look of exhaustion appeared on Mu Chenyan’s face when she asked this.
Zhao Ruoxin reacted towards Yuan Xuan in an excessively excited manner that seemed absolutely shameless. Mu Chenyan recalled Yuan Tian’s comments of Yuan Ran earlier that day when she had said that Yuan Ran had spent her entire life only hoping to marry a good man…
Had she not possessed the same desires towards Yuan Xuan during her youth?
However, complying with Yuan Xuan’s wishes right now was something that she was truly not willing to do.
Moreover, she was acutely aware of the fact that she was just one of the many people in Yuan Xuan’s heart.
When she recalled those words, her heart was filled with a deep pain.
When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Ruoxin’s words, she did not hesitate at all before replying, "I’m not interested! Brother Xuan should accompany you alone so that I won’t have to be the third wheel!"
The arrogant woman had just slapped "cheating couple" in the face.
