Zhao Ruoxin was unaware that Yuan Xuan’s smile was aimed at Mu Chenyan.
In spite of everything, she became rather delighted when she noticed that Yuan Xuan seemed to now be in a good mood. She continued speaking, “Brother Xuan, do you think that we can stay at Liu Li Villa for a few more days this time around?”
Yuan Xuan was not actually paying attention to what Zhao Ruoxin had said earlier. He had merely been looking in Mu Chenyan’s direction. He did not think that Zhao Ruoxin would misunderstand and assume that he was agreeing to her suggestion.
He furrowed his eyebrows before recalling that he had indeed promised to take her to Liu Li Villa so that she could stay there and sketch at Wintry Lake.
How many days were they going to stay there?
He had not decided that yet.
“What? Brother, you’re taking her to Liu Li Villa?”
Yuan Tian was clearly shocked. Her mouth was still stuffed with food that was all exposed when her jaw dropped. Her little face reddened as she tried to hold everything in.
Mu Chenyan was not surprised because she had learned about this a long time ago. Nonetheless, Yuan Tian’s reaction was too extreme. Worried that she would choke, Mu Chenyan hastily instructed the maid to bring some warm water for her to wash down her food.
Yuan Tian gasped for breath as if she was choking. She complained, “Why are you taking her there?”
Although Liu Li Villa was the Yuan Family’s property, Yuan Xuan would usually send other people to manage it.
Frankly speaking, it was Yuan Xuan’s private property. Since he was a proud person, Yuan Xuan maintained a certain distance from everything around him and had certain boundaries laid out. No one usually dared to trespass into his domain without obtaining his permission first.
“Chenyan, are you going?”
Clearly unhappy, Yuan Tian then asked Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan shook her head but did not look in Yuan Xuan’s direction as she quietly replied, “I’m not going! He’s taking Ruoxin there!”
“What? It’ll just be the two of them there? Mu Chenyan, are you stupid?”
While speaking, Yuan Tian reached her hand out and felt Mu Chenyan’s forehead, as if she was worried that she had gotten a fever…
Mu Chenyan’s reaction was too indifferent, it would probably be better her to show at least a little jealousy…
Yuan Xuan thought of the “unfair treatment” that he experienced over the past few days. This woman had inexplicably turned him into a “monk” although he was clearly a married man.
She currently appeared unconcerned that her own husband was taking another woman on holiday.
Because of this, Yuan Xuan’s emotions were at their limits.
He leaned back against his chair before scrutinizing Mu Chenyan with his dark gaze.
Did he actually want this woman to start becoming envious?
He suddenly snapped back to reality as he brushed his own imagination aside.
“You’ve seriously annoying me!”
Yuan Tian lowered her voice and growled softly, worried that her grandmother would scold her again if she overheard. She really could not imagine that Mu Chenyan would allow her brother to bring another woman to Liu Li Villa.
Although they would not act rashly because they were eyes always transfixed on them in the form of stationed maids at the villa, there was still a probability two people developing an attraction for each other when together. Did Mu Chenyan really not care?
Mu Chenyan’s expression was carefree. She leisurely smiled because she knew that Yuan Xuan’s gaze was fixed on her while her white jade-like fingers gingerly peeled the prawns.
During the meal, Yuan Zhe who was seated opposite her meticulously took care of his own wife while Wen Ya also appeared to be enjoying herself.
Conversely, since Zhao Ruoxin was sandwiched between Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan, the couple did not interact with each other at all during the meal.
Mixed feelings emerged in Mu Chenyan’s heart as she thought about this third party who had mysteriously appeared and insisted on following her man on holiday…
There were still traces of uneasiness in her heart. Thus, she was focused on peeling the prawns to distract herself.
“Big Tian, do you want to come along?”
Yuan Tian became extremely unhappy when Zhao Ruoxin called her “Big Tian”.
“Call me ‘Fifth Miss’!” Yuan Tian was somewhat brazen as she snapped. “It was only acceptable for Qinger to call me ‘Big Tian’.”
Although Qinger and her were not close, Qinger had indeed referred to her by this nickname in the past.
This was a reminder to Zhao Ruoxin that although she looked exactly like Qinger, she was not her.
Zhao Ruoxin was so surprised that she couldn’t even blush.
She embarrassedly smiled and explained, “Grandmother gave me permission to go. I wanted to go to Wintry Lake to sketch and Brother Xuan coincidentally wanted to go there for a holiday and rest as well. Since Liu Li Villa belongs to him, I obviously need to obtain the owner’s approval…”
