“Where have you gone? ”

Mu Chenyan tried her best to be quiet as she made her way back to the bedroom. As she pushed open the door, Yuan Tian was woken up. She asked Mu Chenyan as she was rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“Oh… I… I went upstairs to check on Little Ginger Fur Ball! ”

Mu Chenyan’s voice was raspy. That idiot man made her scream so loud, her voice was almost gone…

“What happened to your voice? Did you get a cold? ”

Yuan Tian sounded a little concerned.

Mu Chenyan’s face was red and she deflected the question by flailing her arms. “I’m fine, just need to drink some water. ”

Yuan Tian looked at her watch. It showed 1.30 am. She turned around and said, “Go to bed, that fat cat won’t get into trouble, so don’t miss that fatty meat! ”

Mu Chenyan smiled bitterly. She thought, ‘When have I missed that fatty meat? It’s your brother who was missing this piece of meat, alright?’

Purplish marks were all over her body, so Mu Chenyan carefully chose a set of full-sleeved pajamas and changed into it.

…

The next day, Mu Chenyan woke up early, worried that Yuan Tian might see her bruises after her experience.

Yuan Tian was lazing in bed, unwilling to get up. Yuan Tangshuo’s phone call was like thunder and lava. “I want to see you at the hospital within an hour! ”

Yuan Tangshuo pampered this daughter, but pampering her did not mean that he would indulge her unrestrained.

There would be an expert coming in to perform consultation in the morning. Yuan Tian was not an expert, but as the year-round auditor beside her father, how could she be absent?

Big Tian looked at the watch with her cloudy eyes. It was 8 am. She stayed in the Hibiscus Garden on her own volition, and she dared to sleep in…

By the time Yuan Tian darted downstairs, Ah Fu stuffed the packed breakfast into her hands and cautioned her, “Fifth Miss, careful, it’s hot…”

The lady who did not even put on makeup thanked him profusely and waved goodbye to Mu Chenyan. Based on her mouth shape, she seemed to be saying, “Wait for my good news. ”

After sending Yuan Tian away, Mu Chenyan’s attention snapped back. Recalling that it was almost a half hour before Yuan Xuan needed to get to work, she asked, “What do you plan to do about Qinger? ”

Sooner or later, Shu Qinger’s real identity would need to be announced to the outside world.

The tragedy with Shu Qinger had involved the Yuan Family, so it’s effect could be seen in the whole of Luo Hai.

Now that her real self had returned, they would need to come up with an explanation.

Yuan Xuan did not betray any expression on his face. He said calmly, “I’ve contacted a painting studio in Italy for her. When everything’s confirmed, we’ll send her to Italy. ”

Seeing the surprised look on Mu Chenyan’s face, Yuan Xuan continued,

“Her artistic accomplishments was not bad. It would be wasteful for her to stay in the country, so she might as well continue studying over there and open up a studio of her own! The Italians were much more accommodating. If she could find a suitable partner, she could live peacefully for the rest of her life. ”

沐沉烟一听,这等于要把晴儿发配?

“What about grandmother?”

“Let’s not let her know for now. She’s quite old, she can’t handle extreme emotions like this! ”

Yuan Xuan thought of and prepared for every facet of the issue. After all, only Old Mistress would be able to control him among everyone in the Yuan Family. Yuan Xuan was not prepared to have his hands tied like this.

Seeing Mu Chenyan’s silence, Yuan Xuan knew how troubled she was, so he comforted her. “Qinger was just someone who was used in the incident at Zong He. Zhao Yanni who put the poison there has died, so the police had no evidence to charge Qinger. ”

Yuan Xuan was speaking the truth. Both Su Qingcheng and Wu Huai had said that the case was effective unsolved.

“I wasn’t trying to shelter her. Going to Italy is the best choice she has. She’s lived there for several years, she’s had a pretty hard life, I won’t leave her without care! ”

Yuan Xuan was one of the people who valued relationship the most.

“You know the people behind the Zong He Incident, don’t you? ”

Mu Chenyan picked up hints from Yuan Xuan’s words.

Yuan Xuan felt helpless against Mu Chenyan’s wits.

“Mu Chenyan, if you’re less curious, I might find you cuter! ”

Yuan Xuan passed his tie to her and said haughtily, “If you can’t stand it, you can return to work!

Mu Chenyan sighed. She was just not one who would sit still.

Yuan Xuan would not confess. Mu Chenyan thought, ‘It would be nice to go back to work. There is work to be done, after all. What’s more, with Su Qingcheng around, it would be easier for me to work when there were like-minded people.’

“I’ll be more than happy to! ”

As she said that, Yuan Xuan stared at Mu Chenyan doubtfully as she sauntered upstairs to change.

Before long, she reappeared with a lightweight outfit of a striped cotton dress and a pair of white shoes.

Mu Chenyan’s inky-black hair was tied up in a bun behind her head, and she wore a white cap.

“You said it, I can go to work now! Let’s go? ”

Yuan Xuan looked at the woman who walked in front of him and laughed silently. ‘If she wanted to go out, she can go out as long as she doesn’t make troubles.’

…

There was an untouched forest area in the North Hill. Years ago, Yuan Family’s Old Master had bought parts of it and enclosed it to nurture plenty of tiny animals.

Yuan Xuan had been there, hunting with his grandfather. Old Master’s marksmanship was remarkable as he used to serve the army and traversed the primitive jungle of the southwest region, picking up all kinds of skills and abilities.

Young Yuan Xuan had seen his grandfather ride horses, shoot arrows, and wield all sorts of weapons.

Yuan Tangbai was Old Master’s favorite due to his knack in the same things.

Even if Yuan Xuan did not use to wield hunting guns like toy guns, but he was influenced through constant exposure.

In this day, Yuan Xuan drove, but not to his office.

Shao Yibai and invited him to the North Hill Enclosure to hunt. It had been a while since Yuan Xuan had hunted, so he was happy to comply.

Shao Yibai had played with guns in the army and had earned the nickname Master Marksman. It was not his original intention to step back to the second line. However, due to friction inside his family, a fearless person like Shao Yibai had decided to strip his military rank off completely, enraging Old Master Shao, and finally took a non-military role.

Coming to Luo Hai to supervise Yuan Family’s oil field in Nan Hai District was just an excuse, he was happy to be out here, living life!

Knowing that Yuan Family had a paddock, Shao Yibai could not suppress his urges and invited Yuan Xuan to hunt.

However, Yuan Xuan was a true wife-slave. Even with just Mu Chenyan, he had had his hands full. It was not an easy feat to call Yuan Xuan out!

Yuan Xuan and Shao Yibai changed into a lightweight survival outfit—camouflage jacket, mountaineering boots, and carried two guns.

Yuan Xuan knew Tian Qi had wanted to have an outing with Shao Yibai, so naturally, he brought him along.

Tian Qi was so excited, he could not sleep. He had come to the paddock the night prior and had begun inspecting the surroundings and terrain as the first ray hits the earth.

Even though Tian Qi had a low emotional quotient, he had an exceptional sense in these things. When Shao Yibai saw the joyful Tian Qi, he yelled, “Oi, catch! ”

He threw a rifle at Tian Qi.

Tian Qi tried the rifle out. He had not touched any rifles since coming out of the army. Now that he could hunt, it was as if he had been injected with a new life…
