Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You - Chapter 326 - Would She Have to Bury the Hatchet Once Mu Chenwu Left Luo Hai?

Yuan Xuan knew that she was touched. The man caressed her fluffy head and murmured, “We’ll have to hold back for three months. How are we going to survive those days? Why don’t you use this instead?”

As he spoke, Yuan Xuan covered her red lips with the course pads of his fingers. This irritated Mu Chenyan so much that she hit him. “You’re so indecent! How shameless…”

“Why are you embarrassed? You’ve already seen me doing the most obscene things.”

He kept saying increasingly inappropriate things. Mu Chenyan struck him again before changing the subject. “What’s for dinner? I’m quite hungry now.”

Yuan Xuan ran to the kitchen to start cooking when he heard that his wife was hungry.

Mu Chenyan took her phone out when Yuan Xuan left. She opened her email and pressed the “send” button gently after a moment of hesitation…

Suddenly, a recurring thought flashed in Mu Chenyan’s mind again.

Would she have to bury the hatchet once Mu Chenwu left Luo Hai?

Mu Chenwu opened his mailbox. The corners of his lips curled up into an arc when he saw the email that Mu Chenyan had sent.

“Good girl. You were my final weapon indeed!”

Mu Chenwu’s eyes were bloodshot. He was holding half of a refractory brick. This was a composite material that he had been carefully preparing. It would explode upon collision or contact with water.

Mu Chenwu had been wanting to get his hands on the document that contained information regarding Yuan Xuan’s ports and ships since half a year ago. He had instructed several hackers to hack into Yuan Xuan’s company database. Unfortunately, his firewall was just too strong.

The hackers had failed, and Yuan Xuan had been keeping a close eye on them after that.

The poisoning case at Zong He allowed Wu Huai to arrest the hackers once he had discovered their base. Mu Chenwu was forced to stand back and wait patiently as he had lost his capable assistants.

It was impossible for him to do anything without those documents. Yuan Zhe had been helping him to expand his forces in secret. However, he was stuck in the most crucial step. Mu Chenwu realized that he was backed into a corner when he discovered that Yuan Zhe was murdered. Instead of resigning himself to his fate, he decided to seek Mu Chenyan’s assistance.

Mu Chenwu had not been entirely optimistic about the idea.

After all, his excuses were flawed and filled with holes. An intelligent person like Mu Chenyan would not necessarily believe him, much less help him.

He was prepared for both outcomes when he kidnapped Mu Chenyan. If she helped him, he would release her and execute the original plan.

If Mu Chenyan refused, he would change the plan as needed. He would use Mu Chenyan as bait to lure Yuan Xuan to the construction site at Green Smoke Mountain which he had been using as a base. Anyhow, the worst that would happen was a life or death struggle that would end in mutual destruction…

The situation had developed in a way that had exceeded his expectations greatly. Everything went just a bit too smoothly.

Mu Chenyan had cared too much about her own family so much so that a smart woman like her would make such alarming decisions.

“Do you really think that I’ll leave Luo Hai now that I have this?” A sinister smile appeared on Mu Chenwu’s face. “I’m going to arrange everything perfectly and wait for your Brother Xuan to fall into my trap!”

Yuan Family Mansion…

The news of Mu Chenyan’s pregnancy could not be hidden any longer.

Despite the recent death in the mansion, the good news brought joy to several families. However, others were not so pleased to hear this.

Yuan Tian and Wen Ya were happy for Mu Chenyan. Both of them had sent people to deliver their gifts at once.

Yuan Tian gave her a little radio. It was designed to look like the title character of the Peppa Pig cartoon. It was extremely adorable. Mu Chenyan did not know what this was for, but Yuan Tian told her to use it for prenatal education. She could connect her phone to the radio and play different types of prenatal education information through the applications. Using the radio instead of a smartphone would prevent the baby from being exposed to radiation.

Mu Chenyan was moved by Yuan Tian’s attentiveness.

Wen Ya had given her a pair of bolsters that were specially made for pregnant women. Mu Chenyan had stared at these long weirdly-shaped pillows for a long time and still could not figure out how to use them.

This was not surprising as she had never been pregnant before. She did not know that her stomach would swell like a balloon during her pregnancy. This pillow was an incredible item that would help her sleep because it would reduce the pressure and feeling of heaviness that was exerted on her belly.

Su Qingcheng decided to give her a set of prenatal education books when she heard about it. She told Mu Chenyan that the baby would be able to hear and feel things inside the womb once it was three months old. She could start talking to her baby by then…

This was wonderful!

As a new mother, Mu Chenyan was actually more concerned about these things than the joy of her pregnancy.

Naturally, Mr. Yuan seemed very anxious. He had tried various food and beverage recipes, worried that Mu Chenyan was lacking nourishment.

He had bought three weighing scales and put them in the house to monitor Mu Chenyan’s weight gain. He would measure her weight once on each scale and take the average value. Yuan Xuan had instructed Ah Fu to record her weight every day from now and write it on the whiteboard on the dining room wall. Once Yuan Xuan had obtained more data, he would use it to draw a curve…

Nothing less was expected from a scholar like Third Young Master Yuan. He could even treat his wife’s weight as if it was a mathematical question.

Of course, not everyone was happy about this development.

Shu Qinger felt annoyed and furious when she discovered that Mu Chenyan was pregnant.

“This little brat came at such a bad time!”

Shu Qinger was enraged when she noticed that Yuan Xuan had rejected the Old Mistress’ invitations to have dinner at Upper Mansion these past two days. She put the blame on Mu Chenyan entirely for this. She was itching to rush over and beat Mu Chenyan up.

The Old Mistress did not make any remarks. After all, Mu Chenyan was pregnant with Yuan Xuan’s child, and she was hoping for a grandchild all along. She had wanted Yuan Xuan to break up with that woman precisely because of this reason.

Now that Mu Chenyan was pregnant, she could never mention that ever again.

The Old Mistress knew full well that Qinger had feelings for Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Xuan did not reciprocate them…

Everyone in the Yuan Family Mansion was still preparing for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.

Yuan Xuan was making arrangements for this all along. This was a chance for Luo Hai’s aristocratic families to display their influence. After Yuan Zhe’s murder, they could not afford to handle this carelessly.

Mu Chenyan had already prepared a dress for this occasion, but Yuan Xuan had banned her from wearing now that she was pregnant.

“How am I going to attend the banquet if you won’t let me wear my nice dress?”

There were less than 24 hours left. Mu Chenyan nearly teared up at Yuan Xuan’s decision.

“You can just wear something casual. It won’t make any difference because you’re already so beautiful, Mistress.”

Yuan Xuan told Ah Fu to keep the dress that Mu Chenyan took out. It was a pale blue cocktail dress with a plunging neckline. He grabbed Mu Chenyan with one arm and explained, “It’ll be a hectic event. You can’t wear that dress because you’ll have to wear it with high heels. I won’t allow it!”

Mu Chenyan did know what to say.

“I’ll get my staff to buy you some cosmetics that are specially formulated for pregnant women. I’ve put them in the bathroom for you.”

Mu Chenyan still did not know what to say.

“Also, you don’t have to drive anymore. The seat belt will be too tight when you’re driving, and it’ll be bad for the baby if your emotions fluctuate. I’ll get Yan Jun to find you a driver to send you to work in the future!”

Mu Chenyan could not think of a response.

“Lastly, I’m going to give you massages from now on, Mistress. I’ve hired an experienced midwife from Germany who told me that most Jewish fathers would do this when their wives were pregnant. Mistress, would you like to try it now?”

Yuan Xuan made Mu Chenyan sit down upon saying this. He rubbed her shoulders and made her relax her back. “Relax, Mistress. I’ve only learned a little bit now, but there’ll be more time to do this later. I’ll be able to give you better service once I’ve learned more things!”

Mu Chenyan remained silent.

“Yuan Xuan, why are you being so nice to me?”

Little Chenyan’s eyes had tears in them when she said this. She was choking back sobs. “Can I make a request? Will you let me wear my dress and high heels one last time for tomorrow’s banquet…”
