Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling In Love With You Chapter 140 - Yan Jun Realized the Gravity of the Situation

Mu Chenyan went blank, and her dreamy eyes seemed to glaze over.

What Wu Ze had brought up was the untouchable, forbidden topic in her heart.

Her lips quivered a little, and the bangs that hung over her forehead s.h.i.+fted over her fair face.

Wu Ze could not see her expression, but he was well aware that she was subconsciously avoiding this question…

The north wind was blowing even stronger when they came out if the restaurant.

Mu Chenyan’s body shrunk back into her coat as her little face retreated into the red scarf. Wu Ze saw this and reached out to help rewrap the scarf around her neck. “If there’s any news, I’ll call you. However, are you going to personally tell Yuan Xuan about this, or do I tell him?”

Mu Chenyan shook her head and panicked a little. “I’ll tell him myself. If you tell him, he’ll be…”

She was embarra.s.sed to utter the word “jealous”.

There were certain things that everyone would prefer not to be put out into the open.

The valet drove the car over and Mu Chenyan got in. As she waved goodbye to Wu Ze from the driver’s seat, she kept getting the feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching her from somewhere…

Zhong Heng International. Yuan Xuan sat in the large office chair with a stack of photos scattered across his desk.

The man’s expression was extremely grim, and his dark and narrow eyes were animalistic and angry. His dark figure was surrounded in a swirl of thin white smoke, as his gloomy expression overshadowed his usual steady demeanor!

Yan Jun dared not interrupt Yuan Xuan but he still had to report to him. “Young Master, you called for me?”

His eyes dared not glance around, but Yuan Xuan’s dark face really concerned Yan Jun.

Was something catastrophic about to happen?

“Go and find out the source of these photos. Furthermore, have someone tail my wife secretly from tomorrow onwards!”

Yuan Xuan’s surly tone caused Yan Jun to shudder.

Yan Jun sneaked a glance at the pictures on the desk — in the warm light-filled restaurant, Young Master Wu was presenting a bouquet of flower to Mistress; Young Master Wu had pulled out a paper towel and was helping Mistress to wipe her mouth; in front of the restaurant, the tall and handsome man was wrapping the scarf around Mistress as if he were protecting his dear kitten…

After taking a sharp breath, Yan Jun realized the gravity of the situation.

He had stayed by Yuan Xuan’s side for a few years now. Young Master’s germophobic and possessive traits were all well known by Yan Jun. Moreover, this young mistress had always had a precious place in Young Master’s heart. At least, that was what Yan Jun thought.

What was going on with Mistress? Was something major about to happen?

“I’ll investigate it. However, Young Master, there could be more to this than meets the eye. You…” Yan Jun wanted to vouch for Mu Chenyan, but when he saw Yuan Xuan’s cold gaze fixed on him, Yan Jun hurriedly shut his mouth.

Someone was deliberately trying to sow doubt into Mistress and Young Master’s relations.h.i.+p!

This was Yan Jun’s first impression, but he dared not simply express his thoughts to Yuan Xuan.

However, Yan Jun still felt that he could smell a rat involved.

Yesterday night, Yuan Xuan did not sleep well after picking up Mistress’ call, and he had rushed all the way back from Wintry Lake early in the morning.

Before he arrived home, a few of the old men from the aristocratic families were making noise at the entrance to the company, demanding to see Yuan Xuan. They were here about the p.a.w.ns in their network whom Yuan Xuan had previously dealt with.

In Luo Hai, the battle between the long-established powers and the new forces that were represented by Yuan Xuan had been going on for some time now. It was just that this time, Yuan Xuan’s move was overly a.s.sertive and he had uprooted some of the aristocratic families’ underlings a bit too coldly. He had done so in a neat and organized manner without showing any mercy.

One small event could have a b.u.t.terfly effect. Thus, the old men could not hold back.

They brought the matter to the company group, and Kang Yu could not deal with it alone, hence he could only call Yuan Xuan.

Although Yuan Xuan had a forceful way of doing things, he was particularly slick when dealing with the older generation. He soon pacified the old men with a few words, then had them wait indefinitely.

It was already afternoon by the time he finished dealing with the troublesome people on this end. Yuan Xuan was feeling a little tired, and just as he sat down in his office, his secretary sent in a package that the reception desk had just received.

The courier said that there was an important doc.u.ment that he had to personally give to CEO Yuan. The front desk felt that this was bizarre, so they asked the courier to give the stuff to Yan Jun.

At the time, Yan Jun dared not open it, but little did he know that it would be filled with pictures…

“Young Master, Deputy Mayor Chen would like to invite you to dinner at Delight House. Would you like to accept his invitation?”

Yan Jun asked cautiously while looking at Yuan Xuan’s expression.
