This woman, as a result of the trauma, had successfully caused herself to be down with a fever!

Yes, she was that useless!

The fever depleted Mu Chenyan of her energy and made her groggy. She woke up in the middle of the night and teared up. “You’re all liars!” “You’re all liars!”

Mu Chenyan sobbed and wiped her snot with a corner of the blanket. Not feeling satisfied, she grabbed a corner of Yuan Xuan’s pajamas to blow her nose as well.

Yuan Xuan was exhausted from caring for her and sat by the bed to nap a little. He was not aware that his pajamas had been contaminated…

As her nose was relieved, Mu Chenyan felt much better, but upon seeing the side of Yuan Xuan’s face, she could not help but sob again.

The inexplicable sobs woke Yuan Xuan up from the bed.

He noticed that the woman who was groggy from the fever had an unusual redness on her face. Her eyes were teary, and her hands were shivering. He was shocked and immediately pulled her into his embrace. “Don’t be afraid!” “Little Chenyan, I’m here to protect you…”

Mu Chenyan did not know why she was crying. She just felt upset and miserable and that she would only feel better by crying and letting it out.

She hugged Yuan Xuan’s arm and sniveled, and her snot smeared his arm.

Yuan Xuan did not scorn but let her vent out freely.

She slept, woke up, and slept again. She did not eat much during the daytime, and those that she barely swallowed were vomited out.

After having her meal, Ah Fu served up a bowl of medicine soup. The moment Mu Chenyan saw it she was so terrified that she teared up.

“No medicine… Bitter!”

Mu Chenyan was rather rational during the usual days, but after falling sick, she had turned around completely. That manner of hers was of one who would fight to death and could be dragged out to be flogged 20 times!

Yuan Xuan was mad, annoyed, and felt sorry for her. He was like torturing himself as he coaxed, “Little Chenyan, be a good girl.” “You take a sip, and I’ll take a sip.”

Hearing that, Mu Chenyan thought that the idea was good. At least, she could drink only half of it.

After taking a sip, she laid on the bed and stared at Yuan Xuan, looking just like Little Ginger Fur Ball.

Yuan Xuan had no other way. His lips pressed lightly together. Even a healthy person needed to take medicine, the patient must be seriously sick.

Mu Chenyan was pleased, and she took another sip…

Yuan Xuan thought about what would happen after they had a daughter. He would have to care for two little women, and he wondered what kind of scene would it be.

Daughter?

Thinking of this, Yuan Xuan became somewhat excited.

If their daughter were to resemble Mu Chenyan, how delightful it would be to be cuddling one on the left and embracing another on the right…

Thinking of daughter, his body was in a state of incitement, and he wanted to have a baby!

He must have been bewitched by her, instigating him to commit the crime whenever and wherever. Especially now that she was looking all delicate and pitiful, he only felt like bullying her even more fiercely…

However, Yuan Xuan was very rational. In this kind of state, how could he do it?

Watching Mu Chenyan suffering, his heart ached for her intensely.

Mu Chenyan had no idea that on this night, Yuan Xuan had gotten up numerous times to wipe her sweat away.

By the time she was fully awake, it was already two days later.

Those who were drunk would not have a worse reaction than Mu Chenyan.

Her memory was completely blank, and she had no idea how much she had been courting death.

Early in the morning, Ah Fu prepared a light breakfast. Mu Chenyan had just finished a bowl of porridge when Yuan Xuan walked downstairs and adjusting his collar at the same.

“From today onwards, Little Chenyan, you have to be secluded and meditate for some time.”

Mu Chenyan could hear that it was an order rather than a discussion.

“I’ve recovered!” “Take a look. My body’s all fine…”

Mu Chenyan tried to turn the plot around. She wanted to fight for her rights of not having to be confined.

Yuan Xuan coldly eyed her, his large hands lifted her chin, and his dull voice spat out the words one by one, “I’ve made myself clear. There’s no need for you to argue.” “During this period, don’t you try to walk out of Hibiscus Garden again!” “You secretly went to the hospital, and I haven’t hold you accountable for it. What else do you want?”

Mu Chenyan could see the anger raging in the man’s eyes, and she became silent.

When Yuan Xuan saw that she had recovered, there was no need for him to tolerate her anymore. He would no longer relent but would rant when needed to…

Watching the back of the man leaving, she refused to comply but she also dared not voice out.

However, even if she could not go outside, it did not mean that she could not get hold of the news in the outside world.

Yuan Tian received Mu Chenyan’s message and replied to her that all was well. Ye Kun had regained his sanity and was back to his apathetic manner, becoming even quieter than before.

Yuan Tangshuo dared not let the outside world stimulate Ye Kun again, hence stricter conditions were imposed on the doctors who entered the ward.

She herself was scolded by her father and ordered to not approach Ye Kun’s ward.

Although Zheng Shuyan had it better, not getting reprimanded did not mean that he was off the hook. Yuan Tangshuo ordered the poor man to do social work for a week, and so he missed the chance to help Wen Ya change her bandage.

Mu Chenyan felt uneasy in her heart. Not to mention her reckless action this time, the mystery had only gotten deeper, and she did not even take Yuan Xuan’s warning to heart.

“Yuan Tian, you’ve got to help me.”

Mu Chenyan figured that if she was confined at home, the only person who could help her was probably Yuan Tian.

“What are you thinking of doing now?” Yuan Tian was surprised. She had known Mu Chenyan for many years, but she did not know that her buddy could be this persistent.

“Help me find a reason, say that I need to be admitted into the hospital.”

Mu Chenyan pleaded to Yuan Tian.

Yuan Tian was speechless.

…

Yuan Xuan returned home at night and saw Mu Chenyan gloomy and unhappy. He thought that she was unwell again.

Mu Chenyan answered, “Indeed, I don’t feel good.”

Having been confined for the entire day, Mu Chenyan felt as if her whole body had grown hair. Su Qingcheng noticed she did not show up for work, so she gave her a call. When she heard that it was such a situation, she replied that there was nothing she could do to help, and she fled the conversation.

“If you don’t feel good, then come exercise with hubby?”

While speaking, Yuan Xuan’s hand began to roam about, frightening Mu Chenyan and causing her to plead with him.

Yuan Xuan had only wanted to scare her. How was he willing to crush such a weak body? He had to frighten her a little so that she would not stir up trouble. Having experienced trauma, should she not remember and learn of the repercussion of her actions?

She absentmindedly finished her dinner. At night, Yuan Xuan went to the study room to deal with some work, while Mu Chenyan paced back and forth outside the study room.

Finally, after she had gone in and out to drink water for three times, picked up her phone twice and used “I think I heard something. I’ll go and check it out” as an excuse, and made the fourth trip, Yuan Xuan came out of the study room and halted this woman who could not stay still…

“Spit it out. What do you want?”

Yuan Xuan’s lustrous eyes revealed a look that said that he was waiting for her confession.

Truth be told, from the time the two had known each other up till now, Yuan Xuan was the one who had always been in the driving seat and the one who had the final say. However, this did not mean that Mu Chenyan had no thoughts of her own. On the contrary, she felt a great deal of uneasiness!

Softness did not equal to fragile…

Seeing Yuan Xuan being straightforward, Mu Chenyan did not beat around the bush. “Who’s Ye Kun actually?” “What’s your relationship with him?” “Why does he hate the Mu Family to the core?” “Why does my brother want to kill Ye Kun, and what secret does he have?”

Mu Chenyan spouted out a string of questions. Her gaze was affixed as she put on a dauntless display and a you-must-give-me-an-explanation expression.

Yuan Xuan pondered for a moment on the sofa. The British-styled man looked gorgeous all over. From Mu Chenyan’s angle, he had a sultry manner.

No matter how indifferent and unapproachable Yuan Xuan was on the outside, but when he was with Mu Chenyan, all his edges would be toned down.

He reached out to embrace Mu Chenyan, twirling her hair with his fingers. “Ye Kun was my father’s bodyguard back then, so isn’t the nature of our relationship clear?” “He was nearly beaten to death by your father, so him hating the Mu Family is not something bizarre, is it?”

“As for why your brother wants Ye Kun dead, you should find Mu Chenwu and ask him yourself.” “Lastly, about the secret he has, I can tell you honestly that you won’t be interested in it.”

There was nothing wrong with Yuan Xuan’s answers, but it was also as if he had not really explained anything.

Mu Chenyan knew clearly that Yuan Xuan was deliberately avoiding the main point. She bit her lips, and hesitation was seen in her eyes. She did not know after she had raised the next question, how would it go between Yuan Xuan and her, but she could not resist it.

“Ye Kun says that Mu Feng worked in collusion with the Xi Fan people and caused the death of your father. Is this true?”

Mu Chenyan’s voice was quivering. No matter what the end result was, she and Yuan Xuan would have it hard to wind up the matter.

Yuan Xuan’s clear eyes stared at Mu Chenyan, his lips pursed into a beautiful arch. He swept his gaze across Mu Chenyan’s face, and suddenly, the man carried her up and pressed her down onto the big black bed.

Mu Chenyan panicked. She pushed her hands against his heavy and sturdy body, intending to resist, but Yuan Xuan’s large hands grabbed her tiny hands and pinned them above her head on the bed.

“Yuan Xuan, you haven’t answered me… Ahh…”

Before Mu Chenyan had finished her words, her collarbone was bitten hard by him.

It was so painful that Mu Chenyan wanted to tear up, but she would not yield. She lifted her knees and held them against Yuan Xuan’s waist. Yuan Xuan noticed her intention and pressed down on her, his legs forcing her knees to part, and his body bore down on her seamlessly…

At this moment, she really could not close her legs together.

Mu Chenyan was afraid of this pose. Although they were both wearing clothes, the material of their pajamas was rather thin. Hence, she could sense clearly the changes in his body.

“Yuan Xuan, you’re ignoring the important points and focusing on the minor things. You haven’t answered me… Ahh…”

Mu Chenyan had not completed her sentence when her towering part was unceremoniously bitten by Yuan Xuan.

Yuan Xuan dark and deep gaze looked into Mu Chenyan’s eyes. In his constricted pupils, the cold gaze was filled with an overbearing expression.

“If you dare to ask any more questions, I’ll continue!”

Yuan Xuan did not speak, but his eyes were telling her this fact!

Mu Chenyan refused to give in, and her tone was filled with a great deal of dissatisfaction. “You’re not saying anything. Are you avoiding the question?” “You…”

When Yuan Xuan saw that she was unrepentant and kept pursuing this topic relentlessly, he was somewhat irked. Initially, he had looked upon the fact that since she had just recovered from a major illness, her body was still in a weak state, hence he did not want to do her. However, this woman was really stubborn!

Yuan Xuan said nothing. His lowered his head and pecked her neck continuously. It was not painful, but it was very itchy…

Mu Chenyan could not help but moaned!

Realizing that she had been aroused by him, Mu Chenyan bit her lower lips and the suppressed sound turned into a muffled moan, which only encouraged Yuan Xuan’s lust.

“Since you have such energy to question non-stop, then you should just exercise with me!”

Hearing that, Mu Chenyan said nothing, but her eyes were filled with rage!

She hated herself for not being able to resist his provocation. Yuan Xuan always had a way to make her surrender easily.

“How stubborn!” The man said like he was sighing.

He picked up her scattered hair by the side and tugged at it lightly, feeling the smoothness of it. “What good is there for you to flaunt boldness?”

Mu Chenyan was speechless.

“You can plead with me.” “Hubby will be gentle later on.”

“Shameless!”

“What a strong-willed woman! I’ve really underestimated you previously.”

Mu Chenyan clearly knew that if she was unyielding in her words, her body would have to suffer. However, she could not bear the fact that Yuan Xuan was restricting her in all areas. She was not allowed to question and not allowed to investigate, but he knew everything while she was kept in the dark!

As her mind wandered off, the man easily turned her over. His warm palm went into her shirt and held onto her waist, gently kneading.

“You were down with a fever a few days back. Do you feel sore all over your body? ”

Yuan Xuan changed the topic, and the gentle force from his hands continued as he said, “Hubby will give you a massage in case you say that I only know how to bully you.”

Mu Chenyan had to admit that this massage was indeed extremely comfortable. She had suffered soreness from muscle stiffness for two days.

The massage loosened up her tight muscles, and Mu Chenyan’s brows slowly relaxed. However, as the soreness disappeared, she quickly realized a critical issue.

Although Yuan Xuan was not sitting on her, he was leaning very close to her. Every time he moved a little, he would brush past her backside…

Although he did not do it intentionally, it was… really uncomfortable.

“I feel… alright now…”

“You don’t need me to massage a little more?” “My skills are not bad, right?”

“No need…” Mu Chenyan’s tone was a little hasty. Her face was already red, and it was sweet-looking and enticing.

The man chuckled. “Don’t be shy. I’m at Mistress’ disposal.”

“I really don’t want it anymore.”

“Then what do you want?”

Mu Chenyan was speechless.

Just when Mu Chenyan was distracted, the world before her eyes whirled around. This time, he was lying on the bed while she was on top of him.

“How does Mistress feel about this?” Yuan Xuan’s gaze became misty.

“Nothing much.”

Mu Chenyan would not admit that she was scared and… anticipating!

Her eyes were filled with various discomfiture and avoidance. She pressed her hands on his chest as she attempted to get down from him.

The man’s gaze deepened, and it became dark and unpredictable.

He suddenly got up and went down from the bed. Mu Chenyan did not know where did he head to. She sat on the bed stupefied. Pinching her hot cheeks and recalling the scene from just now, her heart was thumping non-stop.

Yuan Xuan returned a while later, and in his hand was a wine glass. He opened a bottle of wine and poured the red liquid into the transparent wine glass.

In the quietness, the sound of the flowing liquid was extraordinarily clear.

Mu Chenyan watched the man’s gentle and elegant movements, and she held her breath.

Yuan Xuan turned around and swayed the wine glass in his hand.

Mu Chenyan saw the smile in Yuan Xuan’s eyes, and when that dangerous aura came close to her, her heart skipped a beat.

The man said nothing but placed the glass at her mouth.

“Take a few sips. It’s good for relieving fatigue and you won’t say you’re tired after just a while…”

Yuan Xuan’s tone was soft and gentle, but Mu Chenyan was aware of his intention. He was telling her that he must have her tonight!

“Yuan Xuan…I won’t ask anymore…”

Only now did Mu Chenyan want to retreat. She knew that on this matter, Yuan Xuan was the one who was in power.

The man smirked and slowly lifted the wine glass, pouring the wine into Mu Chenyan’s mouth. She had only taken a sip and then she was choked by the pungent taste of the wine and began coughing hard.

“Cough, cough…” Little Chenyan bend over to dodge, her small face immediately turned red from the stimulation of the alcohol.

The man lifted her chin, raised the glass and contained the wine in his mouth. He then leaned forward and pressed onto her lips, forcefully passing the wine into her mouth.

The alcohol consumed earlier on had begun to take effect. Mu Chenyan felt dizzy from the wine, and for a split moment, she had forgotten the inner conflict she had and intuitively swallowed the scorching liquid.

In her stomach, there was like a ball of fire raging and a burning sensation…

Mu Chenyan turned her face aside to refuse his kiss.

The kiss missed and was planted on the side of her neck.

The man put down the wineglass and pressed down on her, murmuring softly into her ear.

“Little Chenyan, there’s no need for you to know much. Just remember the present feeling. It’s all my love to you.”

…

The thrust that Yuan Xuan gave her had a sense of dominance, love, constrain, and contentment…
