Yuan Xuan waved his hand and Yan Jun quickly stopped the car by the roadside.

Mu Chenyan was taken aback by the sudden emergence of the car that now blocked her way.

Her cold little face was now red from the cold. She frowned slightly and poked her head out of the collar of her jacket.

The car window slowly rolled down, allowing her to see inside. However, once she saw the handsome face of the man in the car, the woman’s expression switched from dissatisfaction to confusion.

“Why... Why are you here?”

She watched Yuan Xuan get down from the car, and inadvertently took a step back, as if to keep a safe distance from him. She seemed to have forgotten all about last night whereby the distance between the two of them was basically non-existent...

Yuan Xuan’s face was grim, and he did not speak. His dark eyes flashed like that of an eagle’s as they swept across Mu Chenyan’s pale face in silence. Upon seeing that she was still keeping her guard up, the corner of his mouth curled upward in a mocking smile.

“I’m here to visit father-in-law!”

Hearing him speak in a tone so full of ridicule caused Mu Chenyan to quiver in anger.

‘Isn’t this man the reason Mu Feng is lying here?

‘Yet he still has the guts to come here to crack such a disgusting joke?’

“You feel a twisted sense of achievement, don’t you? Seeing me in such misery, seeing Yuan Tangbai’s former comrade lying deep underground, seeing that you’ve single-handedly crushed the second most prestigious household in Luo Hai City, the Mu Family. ”

Mu Chenyan let out all the hate that had been writhing in her heart.

Xuan Yuan grit his teeth as his cold gaze swept across every inch of Mu Chenyan.

Uttering Yuan Tangbai’s name was a taboo in the Yuan Family!

Yuan Xuan was already a well-known child prodigy before he even reached the age of five, known for having an exceedingly high IQ and EQ. Because Yuan Tangbai placed extreme importance on the nurturing of his son, he would spend a lot of time communicating with his young child whenever he had the time, even going so far as to bring him to the military camp to attend important meetings.

It could be said that in the little Yuan Xuan’s heart, his tall and handsome father was the perfect example of what a strong grown-up should be like.

Similarly, it was this deep-seated adoration and respect that changed Yuan Xuan so radically after he got the news about his father’s death.

That cheerful optimistic little boy became the most lonely kind of person overnight — an orphan.

It was because of this that nobody dared to call out his father’s name in front of Yuan Xuan out of fear of reopening old wounds.

Today, however, Mu Chenyan had used his father’s reputation to subtly taunt Yuan Xuan. She had implicitly called him ungrateful by striking his father’s former comrade when the latter was down. This was a slap to Yuan Xuan’s face!

“Get in the car!”

The two pairs of eyes locked, and the man immediately commanded her in a deep voice. It was obvious that he was doing his best to control his anger.

With this, Mu Chenyan knew that she had infuriated Yuan Xuan, and she quietly smiled at the fact she was getting a bit of payback!

She icily stared at Yuan Xuan’s livid face, then gave a cold sneer as she brushed her hair away from her face. “I thought you would’ve hit me! “After all, I’ve hit a sore spot, right?”

Yuan Xuan’s sour expression turned piercingly cold as the bulging veins on his forehead began throbbing!

It was only because he could not bear to hurt the woman before him that he held back... he would have swung his fist if it had been anyone else.

“Don’t provoke me anymore!”

The tone of Yuan Xuan’s warning frightened Mu Chenyan a little.

She stopped talking, but she also did not obediently get into the car.

The two of them had a silent stare-off for some time, each backed by a sense of resentment toward the other.

Yuan Xuan did not want to hurt her, but as he watched this stubborn woman stare rebelliously at him, he eventually exploded and pulled her into the car!

“Drive!”

Yuan Xuan’s deep voice made Yan Jun jump with fear.

He had stayed by Yuan Xuan’s side since young, and he knew very well that when this prince was unhappy and in a snotty mood, Luo Hai would have to tremble and obediently obey. What more when this man was at his breaking point?
