Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling In Love With You Chapter 176 - I Hope That I Can Still Embrace You Like This in Another 15 Years

Since Yuan Tian did not know what to do with the virtuous Little Chenyan, she quietly said, “Listen to Old Mistress’ advice and bring Zhao Yanni home so she can celebrate the Spring Festival. That way, mother and daughter can be together…”

Mu Chenyan was emotionless. Her innermost being that had been lonely for so many days finally felt touched. She thought of her own mother who was quietly lying on the hospital bed…

…

After dinner, Yuan Xuan saw Mu Chenyan hiding in the small tea room all alone.

She hugged the electric heater to warm herself up because there were no heaters installed in the room. As she huddled up to the warmth, the graceful woman’s body became limp and weary. Her half-closed eyes seemed extremely hazy.

Steam rose from the black tea that she had recently made and placed on the small tea table beside her. Amidst the curling fog, the fresh scent of tea tickled one’s nose before infecting one’s body.

When Yuan Xuan looked at the woman from the outside of the tea room, he felt like her gentle and sluggish appearance gave off a calmness that could last an eternity.

When Mu Chenyan noticed that Yuan Xuan was peeking, or rather, openly looking at her, she crawled up from the tatami mat. Her eyes were still heavy as she quietly said, “This place is too warm. I can’t help but feel like sleeping.”

Yuan Xuan saw that she resembled a sleepy racc.o.o.n when she pouted her little mouth and used the back of her hands to rub her eyes. She could not hide her weariness. She resembled the young lady of the past who had originally lingered in this tea room and used her tender womanly scent to disturb him.

His heart instantly warmed up before he bent down and picked her up. His hoa.r.s.e, raspy voice said, “Go upstairs and sleep properly if you’re tired.”

“I can walk on my own…” She quietly resisted when he treated her like a child. However, she soon plastered her head against his chest like a puppy.

When Yuan Xuan saw that she was acting like a spoiled child because she was sleepy, waves of heat stirred in his lower abdomen.

“I’ll have to supervise you next time so that you’ll eat more. You’re so skinny that it’s almost as if your chest has lost two pieces of flesh.” Yuan Xuan said in a deep voice as he lifted her overly skinny body.

When his gaze drifted toward her chest, the monster in his body began to clamor. However, he remained calm so as to prevent her from discovering his innermost secret. That way, she would not ridicule him to the point where he could not progress further.

“Are you going to feed me as if I were a pig? I’ve already eaten a lot!” Mu Chenyan was very unhappy when he mentioned those “two pieces of flesh”. Although she did not care whether other’s considered her an ideal s.e.x G.o.ddess, any woman would still be bothered if somebody commented on her ‘flat chest’. This was a form of humiliation.

She lifted her loose pajama top and lowered her head to look inside before she muttered, “Are mine very small?”

Yuan Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw how serious she looked. When he saw the seductive sight of her pulling her s.h.i.+rt down, he unconsciously gulped as the waves of heat in his stomach became more intense.

“Yours aren’t small! They can be cupped in one hand so they’re just right!”

Yuan Xuan raspy voice shocked Mu Chenyan. She caught sight of his angular lower jaw and seductive Adam’s apple when she raised her head. Since she had experienced this many times, she knew what this indicated…

Yuan Xuan shoved Mu Chenyan under the covers when they reached the bedroom. She immediately burrowed her head under the blanket because she did not dare to look at him when his breathing was uneven.

Her body was so large that she could feel the bed sink as the man’s warm body quickly approached her.

“Do you want to get Mother from the hospital so that you can celebrate the new year together?” Yuan Xuan restrained his l.u.s.t and suddenly asked in a quiet voice.

Mu Chenyan’s body stiffened up. She had never imagined that Yuan Xuan would bring this up. She a.s.sumed that Yuan Xuan would go straight to the action. Thus, she had never imagined that he would see through her worries and bring up the topic instead.

Unlike plants, humans were strongly influenced by emotion. Hence, she was touched by Yuan Xuan’s tone.

Aside from the surprise, her heart was faintly and unusually moved. Yuan Xuan was probably trying to be more considerate of Mu Chenyan’s feelings after he discovered that Zhao Yanni was going to visit the Yuan Family.

On the other hand, Yuan Xuan had completed his duties toward his mother-in-law Yan Mei with all his heart.

A terrible accident occurred at the time. Mu Feng died on the spot while Yan Mei was left barely breathing and was sent to the hospital. Yuan Xuan hurriedly rushed to the hospital when he received the news and commanded that they do everything to save her.

Yan Mei’s life was only saved because several elites from the third son of the Yuan Family’s military hospital and famous surgeons from Luo Hai’s biggest private hospital were recruited to partic.i.p.ate in the emergency treatment.

As of today, he had smoothly and naturally referred to Yan Mei as his “mother”. This was definitely a first.

He had not called anyone “mother” for over two decades.
