The other day she went to the cemetery. Who knows what Mu Chenwu had told her then? If her current mentality was related to something that had happened back then, then her response was understandable.
Since she was now considering the thought of being able to depend on her elder brother, she would naturally think of leaving him.
As long as Mu Chenwu was around, she would probably never stop thinking of leaving him!
As he pondered the possibility that she might leave him in the future, Yuan Xuan became extremely gloomy and cold. His entire began to give off a ruthless aura that was nerve-wracking to those around him.
Yuan Xuan was unable to accept this fact!
He really wanted to drag her out from underneath the blanket and sternly tell her that leaving him was nothing but a pipe-dream. He would never allow it!
However, seeing her little body sobbing underneath the blanket, his heart softened.
Mu Chenwu had been inciting chaos in Luo Hai for some time, secretly stirring up trouble. He had even covertly incited a few members of the younger generation to rise up and oppose Yuan Xuan.
After meeting her brother, this foolish woman might have really become deluded!
Thinking of all this, frustration and anger brewed in his heart. However, he could not vent at her, or rather, he could not bear to vent at her.
This dumb-dumb! She was genuinely a foolish woman who could never see the whole picture!
Yuan Xuan paced about the floor, his heart secretly berating for the longest time. Only after this did he manage to suppress his anger.
He decided to switch perspectives and look at it from another angle. On one hand was her elder brother, while on the other, it was the man whom she loved. She herself might be feeling stressed about it.
Since he had chosen to hide the truth from her, he could not impulsively let the cat out of the bag now.
“Alright. You’ve already drank it anyway. There’s no need to cry anymore. I won’t force you next time.”
After making this decision, Yuan Xuan looked at her, who was still crying underneath the blanket and comforted her softly.
Mu Chenyan ignored him.
Truth to be told, she too, was aware that she was throwing a fit. It was just that the repression she experienced these days, coupled with Yuan Zhe’s provocation at the Upper Mansion, had exasperated her, and she needed an outlet to vent.
Hence, her emotions exploded the moment she was triggered, and the mere bowl of ginger soup had caused her to lose her to completely lose all rationale.
Moreover, what upset her the most was that she suddenly realized that there was not even a sliver of trust between Yuan Xuan and herself!
Upon her return, she had wanted to share Zhao Ruoxin’s secret with him, but the moment she opened her mouth, she had said that she had merely lost her way in the garden. She subconsciously wanted to keep the secret from Yuan Xuan.
This instantly put her in a bad mood. They were husband and wife. Shouldn’t they have the most intimate relations.h.i.+p in this world? How come when it came to sensitive topics, she was unable to completely put her trust in him?
This annoyed her to the extreme.
She cried for a while and did not even realize that she was falling asleep.
Just like that, Mu Chenyan laid in bed and slept through the whole evening, not even waking up to eat dinner.
When Yuan Xuan saw that this woman was fast asleep, he got up and went to the study room.
The moment the video call connected, Shao Yibai’s exceptional looks and effortless smile appeared on the screen.
“What is it? Now that you have a beautiful lady in your arms, how’s it that you still have the time to chat with me?” Shao Yibai was always spouting nonsense, but since he was exceedingly handsome, most people did not find him annoying.
After noticing that Yuan Xuan was not speaking, Shao Yibai chuckled and teased, “Or is it that your Little Chenyan did not fulfill you?”
Yuan Xuan’s face darkened and he ignored him.
“Mu Chenwu has met with Mu Chenyan.” After a moment of silence, Yuan Xuan finally revealed what was causing him to feel uneasy.
“You’re afraid that your Little Chenyan will be poisoned by her elder brother and learn about all that happened back then?”
Shao Yibai smiled faintly. He was all too familiar with the way this buddy of his thought. If he could handle it solo, then he would not reveal his problems to anyone.
However, when it came to matters relating to Mu Chenyan, this exceptionally calm man would lose his footing!
“I don’t want her to know too much.”
