Wu Ze smiled and said, "I've just been there, so I probably won't be going there anymore. Why don't you come back to Luo Hai and we can meet up? "
When Mu Chenyan heard the words' Luo Hai 'in her heart, her palms started to sweat. She held the phone and shook her head. "Luo Hai, I'd better not return the call. How's my mother doing? "
Wu Ze knew that she did not dare to return to Luo Hai. More than that, she was afraid to face her past. The love of half her life remained here.
"Fortunately, the doctor said that she is recovering well and can eat on her own now. However, you also know that she has been unconscious for so many years. Even if she wakes up, she may not remember the people and things in the past."
"Yes, I know!"
Mu Chenyan's tone trembled slightly. She suppressed the pain in her heart and said in a low voice, "Big Brother Wu, thank you for helping me all these years. Thank you …"
"Chenyan, it's too polite of you to thank me. Actually, Yuan Xuan has always been taking care of Auntie Yan! "
When Wu Ze said Yuan Xuan's name, he clearly heard the other party whimper softly. Wu Ze was stunned for a moment before he whispered, "Chenyan, why did you do this? You're in so much pain just hearing his name. You love him, so why are you torturing each other? "
Mu Chenyan covered her mouth on the other end of the phone. Tears flowed down her cheeks and into the gaps between her fingers.
"Chenyan, why don't you give him a chance and give yourself a chance too?"
Mu Chenyan stopped Wu Ze from continuing. "Big Brother Wu, I can't … I can't face him …"
Mu Chenyan closed her eyes. Her heart trembled as she recalled that scene. She could not help but tremble.
The scene of Yuan Tangbai's murder was very cruel!
Mu Chenyan did not know how much pain Yuan Xuan's heart had been in all these years before he could tolerate the daughter of the enemy who killed his father …
And she was once so stupid to believe Mu Chenwu's words, inverting right and wrong, unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Back then, when she had misunderstood Yuan Xuan, Yuan Xuan had suffered more than ten times the pain in his heart.
How could she pretend that nothing had happened and appear in Yuan Xuan's life as if nothing had happened?
If she could, she would use pain to redeem herself!
After hanging up the phone, the woman looked out of the window. It was already autumn. It would be four years since she left Yuan Xuan.
Shao Yibai was overjoyed when he found out that Yuan Xuan was going to stay here for a few days.
Capital City was the Shao Family's territory. During Shao Yibai's time in Luo Hai, he had been warmly received by the people of Luo Hai. He had long wanted to return the favor.
Yuan Xuan originally planned to stay in a hotel, but Jiao Shufen wouldn't agree no matter what.
"Now that I've come to the capital, it's the same as arriving at my doorstep. If I were to stay in a hotel, I don't know how people would laugh at me if word got out!"
The Shao Family owned a few properties in Capital City. Shao Yibai had discussed it with his mother and cleaned up the 300-square-meter duplex apartment in Shangting Court Court for Yuan Xuan to stay in temporarily.
Jiao Shufen had not seen Yuan Xuan for a few years and missed him dearly. On the first night of Yuan Xuan's arrival, she asked Yuan Xuan to stay for dinner and ordered the servants to prepare a guest room. After she was done being intimate with him, she would let him go to Shangting Garden.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The weather in the capital already had the chill of autumn.
On the balcony of the Shao Family's mansion, two peerless men sat on the sofa, sipping red wine and chatting.
"It's been almost four years, hasn't it?" Shao Yibai asked absentmindedly.
Yuan Xuan was stunned for a moment. His starry eyes sparkled and there was a hint of surprise in the corner of his eyes. "Are you talking about Mu Chenyan?"
Shao Yibai chuckled without saying anything. Yuan Xuan swirled the wine glass in his hand and said calmly, "It's been almost four years since she left!"
"This woman is really ruthless. She hasn't contacted Su Qingcheng even once. Have you asked her other friends?"
Yuan Xuan's dark pupils contracted slightly. "She doesn't have any friends other than Yuan Tian, and Yuan Tian has been taken away by Shen Muqiu. If she wanted to contact anyone, she could only contact Wu Ze. However, I've never asked Wu Ze. I'm afraid that if she finds out, she won't be able to contact Wu Ze anymore."
Yuan Xuan knew that Mu Chenyan was not being ruthless. She just did not want him to find her whereabouts.
Shao Yibai sighed softly. "What do you plan to do in the future? Keep looking? "
Shao Yibai knew that no one could stop Yuan Xuan when he was serious.
"I don't have any plans." The man smiled faintly. "I'll just assume that Mistress threw a tantrum and went out to play for a few days. She'll naturally come back when she's not angry anymore!"
Shao Yibai was speechless.
Capital City's Criminal Police Academy
The department had invited Professor Shen Muchen, a well-known expert in tractology in the country, to give an academic report.
Mu Chenyan was Professor Shen Muchen's last disciple. She had been his assistant and student for almost three years. This was her third time coming to Capital City specifically for a lecture.
Mu Chenyan was halfway through preparing the materials for the lecture the next day when her phone rang.
"Chenyan, Mom knows that you're in Capital City. She's prepared dinner at home and wants me to pick you up for dinner."
Guo Jingze spoke carefully as if he was afraid that Mu Chenyan would reject him.
Mu Chenyan's hand that was holding the phone paused. Her tone was gentle. "Alright. I didn't have time to visit her the last two times I came. Coincidentally, you're also in Capital City on a business trip. It'll be good if you accompany me."
Guo Jingze was as happy as if he had received a commendation. He nodded repeatedly even though the other party could not see him.
"Oh right, I still have some materials to prepare for the professor. I'm worried that I'll be in a rush. The mall is about to close. Can you help me prepare a gift for Mom?"
The mall's closing was just an excuse. Mu Chenyan knew that her mother-in-law's family was very prestigious and was considered an aristocratic family in Capital City. She had no experience in pleasing her mother-in-law.
She had been married to Guo Jingze for three years, but she had never personally picked out a gift for her.
Guo Jingze chuckled softly. "I've already prepared it. You just need to wait for me to come over. I'll pick you up at the hotel at 5pm."
"Alright!"
Mu Chenyan let out a long sigh of relief after she hung up.
Their marriage was to satisfy each other's needs. It was in name but not in reality. However, they wanted to present a perfect image to their family and the world.
Before 5pm, Guo Jingze's car was already waiting at the entrance of the hotel where Professor Shen was staying. The handsome man was neither anxious nor impatient. He did not call to rush her. Instead, he quietly waited at the entrance.
The man's face was handsome and elegant. His facial features were handsome but not sharp. He did not lack the modesty, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality of a descendant of an aristocratic family. Just by standing there, his easygoing temperament made people feel very comfortable. Moreover, this was a man who loved to smile.
It was already past 5: 10 when Mu Chenyan hurried out of the hotel.
The woman was still slender and as fair as jade. Her hair was slightly curled, and when she ran, it looked like a waterfall of seaweed that danced in the wind.
She was so tired that her cheeks were slightly red. Her eyes reddened a little as she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry I'm late."
As she spoke, she rubbed the tip of her nose and reached out to pull the hem of her skirt that had wrinkled due to her panic. She looked like a 20-year-old girl with a tinge of embarrassment.
Guo Jingze could not get enough of this appearance even after looking at it for three years.
