Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling In Love With You Chapter 117 - Mu Chenyan... You...

When Zhao Ruoxin saw that the threads of the embroidered silk handkerchief that Yuan Xuan used were so fine that they resembled fine snow at the beginning of spring, she could not help but reach her hand out and stroke it. She quietly said, “Brother is truly an exquisite man. Even your handkerchief is so delicate…”

Yuan Xuan had just wiped the corners of his mouth with it. He did not know whether this woman had intentionally caressed that spot with her slender fingers. Nonetheless, her ambiguous intentions were indescribable.

The people who were present were all adults who understood her blunt actions seeing it…

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was unhappy with the previously happy couple which she had turned into a trio now. The silly intentions she had for Yuan Xuan were revealed without any reservations.

However, no one could understand why she expressed those thoughts in such a straightforward manner. Even if Yuan Xuan had really harbored feelings for Qinger in the past, her twin sister should not have behaved like this because she was not actually involved, right?

“Ruoxin, the fire from your charcoal is going to be extinguished soon. Let me add some for you.”

Suddenly, Mu Chenyan quietly piped up and interrupted Zhao Ruoxin’s love-struck state.

Zhao Ruoxin slowly returned to her senses before she looked down and realized that the burning coal under her own pot had indeed smoldered.

Mu Chenyan used the metal tongs that were encased in a plastic handle to pick up some of the burning coal from underneath her pot. She moved them beside Zhao Ruoxin and said, “I’m not eating anymore. Since the coal is still hot, I’ll give you a few pieces…”

Zhao Ruoxin did not decline when she saw Mu Chenyan moving some of the coal over.

Suddenly she screamed and everyone at the table was shocked.

“Chenyan… You…”

Zhao Ruoxin sobbed and jumped up from her seat. Her hands were clasped together while her tears and sweat simultaneously trickled down.

Yuan Xuan who was very close to her was the first one to realize the problem. He frantically turned his head and beckoned the maid, saying, “Quickly, bring ice cubes and burn ointment here!”

Everyone immediately understood that a piece of burning charcoal had happened to fall on Zhao Ruoxin’s wrist when Mu Chenyan was pa.s.sing it to her.

It was total chaos!

The maid hurriedly brought ointment and bandages from the medicine cabinet. Old Mistress came over in a distressed state and consoled Ruoxin while blaming Mu Chenyan.

“You weren’t mindful at all. You’re so careless! The burns have caused such huge blisters on her beautiful, fair, and soft little hands…”

Zhao Ruoxin’s cries had probably worsened because the burns certainly hurt very badly. Numerous large blisters were starting to form.

Nonetheless, she was pleased when she heard Grandmother blaming Mu Chenyan…

Mu Chenyan coldly looked at Zhao Ruoxin. Her expression remained unchanged although Old Mistress was criticizing her.

Yuan Xuan was completely silent now but an arrogant air drifted forth from his entire body, making him cold and unapproachable.

Since Zhao Ruoxin was pampered since childhood, that was probably why both her hands were devoid of the slightest blemishes while her skin was fair and smooth. Her slender fingertips faintly trembled.

Now that she was burned by the coal, it hurt even when she looked at it, much so since burn wounds were originally the most painful among all the external injuries.

Mu Chenyan had thoroughly experienced this kind of pain before…

Old Mistress’ criticism did not even stop for a minute!

Mu Chenyan’s gaze fell on Yuan Xuan but the man lowered his face. Although he did not blame Mu Chenyan, he did not help her either when Old Mistress scolded…

The others were unaware of the specific details regarding the previous incident but now that this accident had occurred, no one was in the mood to eat, especially when they saw how anxious their Grandmother looked.

The maid removed the items on the table. Since the three brothers of the Yuan Family all came from medical backgrounds, it was their moment to come forward now.

Yuan Tangshuo was a cool-headed and calm person. Since he felt that it was inconvenient for him to handle this because of his status as her uncle, he said to Yuan Tian, “You should go and help Ruoxin manage the wound. It shouldn’t be a serious issue.”

Saving lives and treating injuries were the distinctive characters of doctors.

Moreover, since Mu Chenyan had caused this accident and her father had given his instructions, Yuan Tian had to undertake this task no matter what.
