Four months later, Military Hospital
Yuan Tian took out the last nail from Yuan Xuan's thigh. She could not help but sigh when she saw her handsome brother sitting in a wheelchair.
"Stand up and walk around."
Yuan Xuan held onto the railing beside the bed and stood up. He had been using a wheelchair when he was at home and going to the company, but he did not feel any discomfort.
Now that the steel nails had been taken out, he could get rid of the crutches and wheelchairs, and he could continue to be as handsome as ever.
"It's a good thing you don't have any sequelae. If you were crippled, I don't know how many socialites in Luo Hai would cry themselves to death!"
Yuan Tian saw that Yuan Xuan was recovering well. Her previous worries were unnecessary. It was fortunate that he only broke his leg when he rolled down from such a high place. It would have been a pity if he had disfigured his face.
"What does my limping have to do with Luo Hai's socialite?"
Yuan Xuan's tone was indifferent.
Fortunately, the stairs in the Hibiscus Garden were made of wood, so he managed to escape with his life.
"If you're crippled, of course they'll be sad. The position of Third Mistress of the Yuan Family …"
"Save it for Mu Chenyan!"
Yuan Xuan cut Yuan Tian off and looked at her coldly.
It was already spring, but Yuan Tian suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.
She stuck out her tongue, not daring to continue.
This pair of quarrelsome lovers had been in love for more than ten years, but they had only been together for a year.
Yuan Tian recalled that ever since Mu Chenyan had left, Yuan Xuan had reverted back to his usual cold and black-bellied self, showing no mercy to anyone.
Shu Qinger was the best example.
He knew that all of this had something to do with Shu Qinger, so the first thing Yuan Xuan did after waking up was to retaliate against Shu Qinger.
The woman's wishful thinking had gone awry, and it was useless even if the old lady begged for mercy.
Yuan Xuan ordered his men to throw Shu Qinger into prison on the grounds of kidnapping and human trafficking.
None of Luo Hai's lawyers dared to defend Shu Qinger. The public prosecutor's case was also hastily settled.
Just like that, Shu Qinger's life as a socialite, which she had been looking forward to, came to an end. It was not bad to spend the rest of her life in Luo Hai Prison.
Hibiscus Garden
The birth of Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet's first litter of kittens made the Hibiscus Garden quite lively.
After two hours of labor, the three kittens were acting coquettishly in Little Ginger Fur Ball's arms.
The meowing calmed the anxious Yuan Xuan, who was drenched in sweat.
Little Ginger Fur Ball looked at the three little ones milking each other. Pink Maiden Little Ginger Fur Ball had the radiance of a mother, licking her kittens with her little tongue.
"Young Master, this one looks the most like Little Ginger Fur Ball!"
Ah Fu pointed at one of the ginger-colored female cats, looking very excited.
"Yes!" Yuan Xuan replied softly.
Three cats, one pure yellow, one pure black, and one spotted cat. They had two sons and a daughter, and they were all very beautiful.
Little Ginger Fur Ball was a little unhappy to see Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu pointing and gossiping. Her maternal instincts made her worried that they would harm her kitten, so she purred in protest.
Briquet, too, was playing the role of a father. It meowed at Yuan Xuan and Ah Fu, its tail erect as if it was ready to attack at any moment!
Briquet: Don't you dare touch my wife and kids!
"Useless dog. Now that you have a wife and a child, you don't want your father anymore!"
Yuan Xuan cursed under his breath and pinched Briquet's butt.
Briquet: Meow meow, daddy, are you blind? I'm a cat!
"Ungrateful people fed with imported cat food!"
Briquet: Meow meow, daddy, if you could be a father, you'd be even more useless than me!
Yuan Xuan, "…"
Briquet, you can't be so hurtful!
Yuan Xuan looked at the litter of kittens cuddling in Little Ginger Fur Ball's arms and felt sad.
If Mu Chenyan had not aborted the child, she would have gone into labor by now.
Three years later
Zhong Heng International
Yuan Xuan came out of his office and Yan Jun rushed over, looking travel-worn.
"Young Master, you're getting off work?"
Yan Jun took a cup of water from the pantry. Before he could take a sip, he saw the elegant man packing up and getting ready to get off work. He was a little surprised.
It had been more than three years. Ever since Little Mistress went missing, Yuan Xuan had been working overtime almost every night. If he was not working overtime, he would be on business trips.
Yuan Xuan's frequency of business trips had obviously increased. He seemed to have started to enjoy the feeling of walking on the road. When he returned to Hibiscus Garden, the empty feeling made him sleepless at night.
"I shouldn't get off work?"
Yuan Xuan was confused. He was the boss. Did he need anyone's permission even if he wanted to take a vacation, let alone get off work?
Yan Jun swallowed his saliva and looked fearful. He smiled and said, "Of course not! But … "
"But what?"
Yuan Xuan hated Yan Jun's garrulous attitude more and more. The man's face darkened and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
"Old Mistress … The blind date that Old Mistress arranged …"
Yan Jun saw that Yuan Xuan's face was covered in frost. The piercingly cold gaze made him afraid to continue speaking.
Ever since Little Mistress went missing, the position of Third Young Mistress of the Yuan Family had been vacant. Now that the second son of the Yuan Family was gone, the once prosperous Yuan Family Mansion suddenly seemed deserted.
Old Mistress was too anxious to care about Yuan Xuan's attack on the second son. After all, the most important thing was the living person. Therefore, forcing a marriage became Old Mistress's greatest pleasure.
To the socialites of Luo Hai, this was an excellent opportunity. With Old Mistress backing them up, they would probably pounce on Third Young Master Yuan.
However, Yuan Xuan was not willing to be manipulated by others. He said one thing on the surface and another behind his back. Every time Old Mistress came up with various reasons to 'contact the relationship between the aristocratic families' or create various' coincidental encounters' for him, he would pretend to be very 'surprised' …
Then, there was no 'then'.
In the end, it was all left unsettled …
As for the direct purpose of matchmaking, there was no need to even mention it. Yuan Xuan always had various reasons to shirk it.
Seeing that there was no hope of having a great-grandchild, Old Mistress finally used her trump card. 'If you use work as an excuse all day long, I might as well send the girl to your office door. Let's see where you can run then!'
Yuan Xuan looked at Yan Jun's fawning expression and was furious.
"You're eating from my bowl while running errands outside. You're really good at this!"
Yuan Xuan knew that Yan Jun was watching over him on behalf of Old Mistress.
Yan Jun looked aggrieved and complained incessantly in his heart.
'Your grandmother has already used all her strength to let you have a lifelong partner. I'm just an innocent citizen who was dragged into this. Please don't look at me like you're looking at a dog!'
"Young Master, the girl is waiting downstairs …"
Yan Jun thought to himself, 'Since I'm not the one who dragged her here, you should at least give her a reply whether you want to meet her or not.'
Yuan Xuan's face darkened as he replied, "Today is Mistress's solar birthday. I have to rush back to cook for her! I won't meet her! "
Yan Jun was speechless.
Yuan Xuan was possessed. It had been three years, but he was still the same as before. It was as if Mu Chenyan had never left!
He ate her favorite food, played her favorite songs in the office, walked the path that she usually walked, and hugged the pillow that Mu Chenyan slept on while daydreaming all night …
Only then did Yan Jun understand that Yuan Xuan was not putting on an act to cling to his loyalty. Instead, he genuinely believed that Mu Chenyan would return at any time, even though the people he sent to look for Mu Chenyan always returned with disappointing news.
Today was indeed Mu Chenyan's solar birthday. Every year on this day, Yuan Xuan would personally cook a table full of dishes. He would then open a bottle of red wine, sit at the dining table, light the candles, and softly sing a happy birthday song for her.
Yan Jun watched as Third Young Master Yuan walked past him and gave him a "Hmph".
Yuan Xuan placed an order on his phone on the way back. Before he even reached home, the ingredients he ordered were already delivered to Hibiscus Garden.
Ah Fu saw that the dishes were all Mistress's favorite flavors. He looked at the calendar and knew that it was Mistress's birthday again.
Ah Fu did not make a sound. He only wanted to help out in the kitchen. Finally, he followed Yuan Xuan and made a table full of dishes.
The affectionate man sat in front of the large dining table and poured two glasses of red wine. Under the candlelight, the wine glowed like rubies.
The large bouquet of red roses was tender and beautiful. The man took a sip of the red wine. The spicy taste passed through his throat, and a little bitterness assaulted his senses.
Yuan Xuan paused and murmured softly, "Little Chenyan, happy birthday!"
He recalled the year when she was seventeen. It was also at a birthday party in England when Little Chenyan formally confessed to him for the first time.
At that time, he knew that he should not fall in love with her. They were destined to be a blood feud, but he could not control the excitement in his heart.
She loved him, and he was no exception.
However, he knew that he should not do this!
Yuan Tangbai's suicide letter before his death and the evidence of Mu Feng's crimes were the only keepsakes that Ye Kun left behind from his father after he broke out of the siege.
Unfortunately, Ye Kun did not escape back to Luo Hai at that time. Instead, he was captured again. In a moment of desperation, Ye Kun hid the letter and the evidence with Yan Mei for safekeeping. Mu Feng imprisoned Ye Kun for ten years, forced him to hand over the evidence, and crippled him.
Ye Kun was Yan Mei's first love. Due to her family's coercion, Yan Mei was forced to marry Mu Feng. Now that she saw her former lover being imprisoned by Mu Feng, she finally found a suitable opportunity to secretly release Ye Kun.
Ye Kun returned to Luo Hai with a body full of secrets. While he was being chased, he was fortunately saved by Yuan Xuan at the hunting grounds.
It was also at that time that the fifteen-year-old boy knew that the enemy who killed his father was coming back. However, he was alone and weak. At home, there was Second Uncle working together from the inside and outside, and outside, there was Mu Feng who was eyeing him covetously.
He did not dare to act rashly even after obtaining the evidence.
He was gathering his strength. When he was fully fledged, he would personally kill the enemy who destroyed his family.
The cold boy who grew up with hatred did not expect that God would play a joke on him. When Mu Feng returned from Xi Fan, he brought back a little girl. Her name was Mu Chenyan.
There was no reason for love!
He knew that this was a crime against the world. His love for Mu Chenyan was treacherous.
However, the boy had tried his best to control himself. In order to avoid this girl, he even chose to go abroad to seek refuge.
He did not expect that she would shamelessly follow him.
Yuan Xuan recalled the seventeen-year-old Mu Chenyan. She was young and ignorant, but she had the courage that others did not have. She would not hesitate to go through fire and water for love.
It was not that he did not have love in his heart, but it was more of a shackle.
When he gathered his strength and was ready to fight back, Ye Kun secretly told Yuan Xuan that Mu Feng had drugged Yan Mei for Ze Da to play with for his own purposes. Mu Chenyan was Ze Da's daughter …
