Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You-Chapter 296 - My Dear Sister, I Know You Better Than That

Yuan Tian glanced at her disheveled appearance while suppressing the rage in her heart. She whispered, “Could you tell me what happened?”

Shen Muqiu could not help but laugh. Yuan Tian resembled a hedgehog that was covered in spikes from head to toe. However, her pretty little face was exactly the way he remembered it years ago.

“It’s alright if you don’t remember me. We can get to know each other slowly later on. As for these marks, just consider them as presents from me in honor of our first meeting, okay?”

Yuan Tian was so furious that she nearly spat out blood.

“Sir, are you saying that you did this?”

Yuan Tian could not stop herself from wanting to stab this b*stard when she thought of how he had violated her in her confused state.

How dare he take advantage of her when she was in trouble?

“You don’t have to be shy, Miss Yuan. Of course, I wouldn’t refuse if you wanted to return the favor!”

Shen Muqiu said this with a straight face, as though it was perfectly normal.

Yuan Tian nearly coughed up blood again!

“How shameless!”

If she had not been not skimpily dressed, Yuan Tian would have definitely given him a piece of her mind. However, she would be at a disadvantage if she moved too much now…

“Yes, I’ll take note of Tian Tian’s comments. You’ve been asleep for such a long time. Are you hungry?”

As he spoke, Shen Muqiu stepped forward and attempted to pull Yuan Tian over. However, he had not expected that this woman would be so cautious against him. She took a step backward and nearly exploded at him. “Who are you calling ‘Tian Tian’? Shut up!”

Shen Muqiu was shocked. A miserable look flashed across his gaze when he saw that Yuan Tian was on high alert and distancing herself from him.

“You still have to eat no matter what I call you. I bought this…”

“I’m not eating your food!”

Yuan Tian rejected the man’s offer while rage filled her face.

“How would I know if you’ve poisoned the food? You’re a despicable person who’d step on others when they’re down!”

Yuan Tian was no longer concerned about being polite when she remembered that this man had seen her naked and harassed her. If her words were harsh then so be it!

She would settle her score with him once she had gotten her clothes in a while…

“If you’re worried, you can eat after I’ve taken a bite. Is that alright?”

Shen Muqiu compromised and spoke gently.

“You…”

“I’ll do anything to make you eat!”

Yuan Tian was unaware of the ruthless nature of the man before her when he was faced with violent enemies. She knew even less about his bloodthirsty heart that stemmed from a brutal past. This man had crawled out from the depths of hell…

However, this perverse and ruthless man was currently patiently coaxing her. He had suppressed the vicious nature of the demon in his heart. He was completely courteous and gentle now.

Yuan Tian became rather hesitant after hearing him speak.

She was unaware that she had messily vomited last night. Her clothes were smelly and disgusting while her stomach was empty. When she heard that there was food, her stomach growled just in time…

Shen Muqiu smiled sincerely.

He turned around and quickly brought out the dishes and snacks from the little kitchen that he had prepared much earlier. He placed them neatly on the small dining table.

Yuan Tian’s favorite strawberry pudding and yoghurt were also placed on the corner of the table.

How did he know that she liked strawberry-flavored food?

Yuan Tian’s heart was conflicted but she could not resist the temptation of food. Her legs were slightly wobbly.

“Are you coming to eat?” Shen Muqiu acted sickeningly sappy when he was being affectionate towards women. Smiles lit up in the corners of his eyes before he continued, “Should I feed you?”

“Scram!”

Yuan Tian was brought up well. She would never allow a stranger to repeatedly seduce her!

Shen Muqiu did not kick up a fuss. He remained calm as he opened the container of food on the table. A delicious aroma wafted through their surroundings. This food was from the Han River Restaurant.

Yuan Tian usually loved this the most. Her father Yuan Tangshuo doted on her but when he was occasionally too busy dealing with surgeries, he would send someone to buy this for her. She would never get bored of Hunanese food!

Yuan Tian suddenly felt as though she had abandoned her morals…

Shen Muqiu rose and went to another room. “You can stay here and eat slowly. I’m going to iron your clothes.”

Yuan Tian watched him leave before she scanned her surroundings. There was no one else here. She went to the bathroom to wash up first before she came out and scoffed down the food!

Although that man had taken advantage of her last night, he had not continued and gotten away with it in the end. When she realized that he would not make any moves on her today, she decided to just eat and think about this later.

Through the crack between the door, Shen Muqiu watched Yuan Tian happily eating. The corners of his lips stretched into a smile…

Feng Rao told Mu Chenwu about her meeting with Mu Chenyan in great detail.

Mu Chenwu called her fifteen minutes later.

Feng Rao usually initiated the calls. This was the first time that Mu Chenwu had called her on his own.

“Chenwu, your sister is probably suspicious about me. I don’t know if you’re safe over there now but I want to see you!”

Feng Rao sounded rather anxious.

“Don’t panic. That girl has been blinded by Yuan Xuan. Now that he’s after me, I can’t just see you as I please, and it’s much harder for me to meet Mu Chenyan.”

Mu Chenwu paused.

Feng Rao said, “What should I do? She won’t believe anything I say. Since she’s living with Yuan Xuan, I can’t tell her that I’m in contact with you either…”

“You can’t let her find out. The situation is slightly complicated now because Yuan Xuan is manipulating Mu Chenyan.”

Mu Chenwu murmured.

“Manipulating? What do you mean?” asked Feng Rao.

“The problem lies with Ye Kun, the same Ye Kun who’s staying in the military hospital!”

“Are you talking about the poisoning case that I was also previously called in for investigation?”

“Yes! He was hunted down because he was carrying the records of the transactions between Yuan Tangbai and Ze Da, the previous leader of Xi Fan’s rebel forces. He had also obtained the map to Yuan Tangbai’s personal little treasury!

“Ye Kun attempted to find those items after Yuan Tangbai was killed, but Ze Da’s subordinates went after him because Ze Da wanted those things as well!”

Feng Rao exclaimed, “Why didn’t you tell Mu Chenyan these things?”

“What’s the point? Her investigations in City C and the information that she obtained from Luo Hai’s police department have already shown that I brought Zhao Ruoxin and her mother back, and that I sent Mrs Zhao and her daughter to kill Ye Kun!”

Mu Chenwu’s tone was somewhat panicked. The sound of falling items echoed behind him.

Feng Rao was terribly frightened but she anxiously consoled him. “Don’t get riled up first! Perhaps I can arrange a meeting between you and Mu Chenyan so that you can explain the situation to her. You’re her brother, after all. Your words are more convincing to her than anything that anyone else says!”

Mu Chenwu was silent for several minutes. His deep voice instructed, “I’ll leave this to you then. Be careful not to let Yuan Xuan discover this. If he catches me, the Mu Family will really be finished!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll contact you immediately if there’s any news!”

Feng Rao hung up after speaking.

The corners of her lips curled upward into a sinister smile when she took the button-sized micro-tapping device out of her Hermes bag.

“Hmph, your brother has seen through your schemes, little vixen!”

Mu Chenwu hung up. He stood on the balcony of the mountaintop villa and swirled the wine in his glass. He stared at the setting sun that was shrouded by the evening mist.

“Mu Chenyan, my dear sister, I know you better than that!”
