Mu Chenyan held her breath and hid in the tree without making a sound.
Zhao Ruoxin hung up the phone and leaned against the tree weakly. After a while, she saw Zhao Yann looking at her in awe. She was cautious and looked pitiful as if she was treading on thin ice.
She sighed at Zhao Yann and said, "Just stay outside for a while longer. Don't get too close to the Yuan Family if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, you'll be discovered, especially by Third Young Master. Avoid him when you see him. After the festival, I'll suggest sending you back immediately."
"Xin 'er, can you let me stay with you for a few more days?" Zhao Yann begged in a low voice.
Zhao Ruoxin cast a disdainful look at Zhao Yann. Her face was full of disgust and helplessness. "I'll bring you back after everything is done."
She turned around and left after saying that, completely ignoring Zhao Yann's crying expression.
After she left, Zhao Yann sat down on a chair at the side and cried softly.
Mu Chenyan looked at the woman's pitiful look and felt sorry for her. She could not understand how Zhao Ruoxin could treat her biological mother like this.
Moreover, after listening to their conversation, Mu Chenyan felt that Zhao Ruoxin was not as simple as she seemed.

When Mu Chenyan returned to Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan was already waiting in the living room. It seemed that he had been there for quite some time. The half-brewed Pu 'er tea on the coffee table emitted a faint fragrance.
The handsome man supported his forehead with one hand and held a teacup in the other. He leaned against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
His cold and aloof temperament exuded a fatal charm. From Mu Chenyan's point of view, his chiseled edges had a fatal attraction …
"You're back?" Yuan Xuan heard light footsteps and opened his eyes. He placed the teacup on the coffee table and stood up to walk toward Mu Chenyan.
The man wrapped his arms around her waist and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "I told you not to stay for too long. Look at your cold body. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and there's a good show for you. If you fall sick, it'll be a waste of my efforts."
Mu Chenyan did not know what he was talking about. However, looking at his serious expression, he must have prepared it meticulously.
"I walked for a while and wandered around the artificial lake. I got a little lost. It's all because the Yuan Family's mansion is too big."
Got lost? No wonder he couldn't find it!
Mu Chenyan softened in his arms. She had indeed felt a little cold in the forest earlier. Now that she was in his arms, the alternating heat and cold caused her to sneeze a few times.
He saw her sneeze with tears in her eyes, which was a sign of a cold. Yuan Xuan's expression changed slightly. He ordered Fu to quickly boil the ginger soup while he carried the trembling woman upstairs.
Yuan Xuan tucked her under the covers and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to the highest setting. Then, he nestled her little feet in his palms and scolded, "Look at the consequences of being disobedient. I'm afraid you're going to catch a cold after being blown by the spring breeze!"
The warmth of his palm slowly spread to the soles of her feet. Mu Chenyan hid under the blanket, revealing only a pair of watery eyes. She felt a lump in her throat and her eyes were moist. She could not say a word.
Not long after, Ah Fu served the ginger soup to Mu Chenyan.
Looking at the bowl of ginger juice, Mu Chenyan's beautiful eyebrows knitted together. She said in a low voice, "I hate drinking this the most. It's spicy and has a strong taste! Can I not drink it? Although I've caught a cold, I usually just need to lie down and sleep for a while. Quickly take this away … Take it away … I won't drink it even if you don't take it away … "
