Mu Chenyan dragged her exhausted body back to the Yuan Family Mansion. The maid came over to help Mu Chenyan park the car.
Ah Fu saw that Mu Chenyan had returned and happily welcomed her. She said softly, "Young Mistress, you're finally back. Young Master sent someone to deliver a lot of beautiful gowns just now. He asked you to try them on after resting for a while."
Mu Chenyan's gaze swept across the sofa in the living room. Sure enough, there were a few gift boxes on it. The packaging was exquisite and beautiful. One could imagine how luxurious the contents inside were.
In stark contrast to Ah Fu's excitement, Mu Chenyan's reaction was a little too dull. "Alright, I'll try them after I take a shower."
…
Mu Chenyan took a shower in the bathroom. Ah Fu had already moved the boxes of gowns to the bedroom on the second floor.
Mu Chenyan's body exuded a faint floral fragrance after her shower. She used a towel to gently dry her black hair and conveniently placed the used towel on the hanger.
Ah Fu lined up the gift boxes and opened the lids. The new gowns were neatly stacked inside. The colors and styles were all custom-made according to the current fashion trend.
The crystal beads and diamonds sparkled. The handmade lines were exquisite and clear.
The Yuan Family's custom-made gowns had always been meticulous. She had only been released from prison for less than a week. These gowns were definitely not new. Yuan Xuan had probably prepared them for her a long time ago …
He had even calculated when she would be released so accurately. No one would believe that he was not in control.
Mu Chenyan did not dare to think too deeply. She was afraid of living in an unpredictable world and being manipulated by others.
Everything was in Yuan Xuan's control. She was just a pawn …
Her ten fingers tightly gripped the edges of the gown. Her palms were already sweaty. The uneasiness in her heart caused Mu Chenyan's hands to tremble.
She still did not know what other connections there were between the Mu Family and Yuan Xuan other than the fact that she was wrongly accused of killing Yuan Xuan's childhood sweetheart.
Mu Chenwu was the only family member she could rely on. She could not let him be hurt.
If Yuan Xuan let her out to lure Mu Chenwu out, then Mu Chenwu's safety would become the biggest knot in Mu Chenyan's heart.
Mu Chenyan stared at the gown in a daze. Fu, who was beside her, did not understand what was going on. She quietly reminded her, "Young Mistress, Young Master said that he's done trying it on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, Miss Susie will send someone over tonight to re-measure and modify it …"
Mu Chenyan came back to her senses and chose a champagne-colored long chiffon dress from the five dresses. It had a heart-shaped neckline and a draping design. It did not look too revealing, but it was not too conservative either.
After all, this was a banquet prepared by Old Mistress Yuan. It was a relatively large gathering in the Yuan Family's traditional sense, so she did not want to be too ostentatious.
If it was her in the past, she would have had a clear personality and dared to love and hate. Why would she need to keep a low profile when attending such a banquet?
Wherever she went, she would be a dazzling pearl!
But now, she didn't want to attract attention. It wasn't because she felt inferior, but because her personality had changed!
Before she could clarify her relationship with Yuan Xuan, she did not acknowledge her identity as the Yuan Family's granddaughter-in-law. After all, it was an unfinished wedding!
Yuan Xuan probably felt the same way, which was why he promised to hold a new wedding.
…
Every gown had a specific jewelry to match. The champagne-colored gown with the pink diamond was extremely beautiful!
Yuan Xuan must have thought of this as well. The pink diamond set of jewelry, the necklace, the bracelet, the ring, and the earrings were exquisitely carved and magnificent. It was the most eye-catching set of jewelry out of all of them.
Mu Chenyan's hands brushed past the jewelry box, and she hesitated.
Fu, who was beside her, had a smile in her eyes. She laughed softly and said, "Young Master really knows you. Before he left, he even said that if you choose the champagne-colored gown with the pink diamond, you'll be the most eye-catching person at the banquet even if you don't want to stand out!"
When Mu Chenyan heard this, her fingertips quickly moved away from the pink diamond.
She pointed at the pearl box beside her and said in a low voice, "Take out the earrings and the headdress. Don't take anything else!"
