After returning from the hospital, Mu Chenyan parked her car in the garage. She had just walked near Hibiscus Garden when she saw Ah Fu hurriedly walking out from inside.
"Oh, Young Mistress, you're back …" The little girl was so anxious that her forehead was drenched in sweat. Her little face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"What happened to you?" Mu Chenyan had never seen Ah Fu cry before. Something bad must have happened.
"Grandfather … suddenly fainted this afternoon … He was sent to the hospital … I wanted to go with him, but Old Mistress asked me to wait for you here."
Ah Fu cried as she spoke. Ah Fu was brought to the Yuan Family by Butler Fu. The Fu Family had been eating in the Yuan Family for several generations, so they were used to obeying their master's orders.
This kind of rigid social hierarchy made Ah Fu afraid to go out even if she was worried about her grandfather.
"Hurry up and go. I don't need you to serve me here."
Mu Chenyan said, "If it's possible, you can stay in the hospital and take care of Butler Fu. There are other servants at home. I'll look for them if I need them. "
Ah Fu was extremely grateful. She hurriedly packed her things and left.
Yuan Xuan had gone out. Without Ah Fu, the small building was suddenly empty.
Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that her heart had become empty.
She felt an inexplicable sadness when Yuan Xuan left for a day. It was as if her body and soul had been hollowed out.
She did not know if she would get used to the days without Yuan Xuan if she really chose to leave one day.
After all, the fate of being husband and wife today was something she had pursued for more than ten years …
She used to pursue stubbornly and spent the best years of her life behind the proud Yuan Xuan.
For some reason, Mu Chenyan's heart ached at the thought of leaving. It made her want to avoid this problem, and her determination was not as strong as before.
She panicked at this change in herself …

Mu Chenyan was exhausted from letting her imagination run wild.
She randomly ate something for dinner and stayed in the bedroom on the second floor. She stared at the sky outside through the cream-colored gauze curtain on the balcony.
Mu Chenyan only got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath when the sky was filled with stars and the night sky was dark.
She soaked for a long time as the weather turned cold during winter. She felt her body heating up and her soft skin turning transparent underwater. She then came out wrapped in a pure white cotton bath towel.
At this moment, a sudden sound came from downstairs. The noise startled Mu Chenyan!
Yuan Xuan had a cold personality and did not like to interact with unrelated people. Because of this, Ah Fu was the only servant girl left in the Hibiscus Garden to order around!
Could it be that Yuan Xuan and Fu had just left, and a burglar had broken in tonight?
That's impossible!
Although the security level of the Yuan Family was not as high as that of the military compound, the number of servants and security guards in this old mansion was the highest in Luo Hai due to Yuan Xuan and Yuan Tangzhong's special status.
That was why Mu Chenyan was so careless that she did not lock the main door of the main hall and took a bath upstairs!
Mu Chenyan broke out in cold sweat when she realized that the "thief" might have been here for quite some time.
She quickly put on her home clothes and tiptoed downstairs!
Mu Chenyan leaned against the wall while holding onto the stairs. With the help of the dim light, she saw a tall man sitting leisurely in the main hall on the first floor as if he was in his own home.
The man's figure was elegant as he reclined on the wooden sofa. He held half a glass of red wine in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other!
He lowered his head and carefully tasted the red wine. After a while, he took another drag of the cigarette. He let out a soft sigh of enjoyment as the white and green smoke lingered in the air.
The light from the floor-to-ceiling fishing lamp was rather dim, but Mu Chenyan could see that the man was wearing a soft white shirt and a handsome checkered vest on the outside. His sleeves were rolled up halfway, revealing his strong arms and wrists.
His tall figure was straight. Although Mu Chenyan could only see his back, she could still recognize him!
