Mr. Yuan's Dilemma: Can't Help Falling in Love with You

Chapter 38: It’s All in the Hands of Yuan Xuan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The maid came over to help Mu Chenyan park the car after she dragged her tired body back to the Yuan Family Mansion.

When Ah Fu saw that Mu Chenyan had returned, she happily greeted her and softly said, “Young Mistress, you’re finally back. Just now, Young Master had people bring over several pretty gowns for you to try on after you’ve rested!”

Chenyan glanced across the sofa in the living room and saw a few gift boxes on it. Their packaging was exquisite, and one could only imagine how luxurious their contents would be.

Mu Chenyan’s response was much dull, in a sharp contrast to Ah Fu’s excitement. “Alright, but I’ll take a bath before trying them out.”

...

Whilst Mu Chenyan took a bath, Ah Fu moved all the boxes of gowns to the bedroom on the second floor.

After her bath, her body exuded a faint floral fragrance. Mu Chenyan used a towel to gently wipe her black long hair and then conveniently hung the used towel on a hanger.

Ah Fu aligned the gift boxes in a row and opened the covers. In them were neatly folded gowns, their colors and style all customized in accordance with the lastest fashion.

Crystal beads and diamonds sparkled along the intricate hand-woven grains.

The Yuan Family’s personalized items were given great attention detail and were never half-heartedly done. She had been out of prison for less than a week, so these gowns had not been recently acquired. It was very likely that Yuan Xuan had ordered them for her a long time ago.

Even the timing of her release from prison matched the timing of the order completion. No one would believe him if he claimed that he didn’t have complete control over the matter!

Mu Chenyan did not dare to ponder any more. She was afraid of the fact that she could be living at the mercy of this powerful man.

Everything rested in the palm of Yuan Xuan’s hand; she was merely a pawn in his game of chess...

Her ten fingers tightly clasped the edge of the gown as her palms became sweaty. The feeling of uneasiness caused Mu Chenyan’s hands to quiver slightly.

Apart from her being wrongly accused of murdering Yuan Xuan’s childhood sweetheart, what other ties were there between the Mu Family and Yuan Xuan that she was not aware of?

Mu Chenwu was the only loved one she could depend on, so she would not allow any harm to befall him!

If Yuan Xuan’s purpose of letting her out was to lure Mu Chenwu out from hiding, then Mu Chenwu’s safety would be her primary concern.

Mu Chenyan stared vacantly at a gown. Ah Fu, who was by her side, could not comprehend the situation, so she poke up in a hushed tone, “Young Mistress, Young Master says to put aside whatever pieces that do not fit you after you’ve tried them on. Someone from Miss Susie’s side will come over to re-measure and make alterations...”

Mu Chenyan snapped back to reality. She picked a champagne-colored chiffon gown from the set in front of her. It had a heart-shaped neckline with a draping shoulder design, making it look neither too revealing nor too conservative.

At the end of the day, this was a banquet prepared by Old Mistress Yuan, and in the Yuan’s family’s traditional sense, a relatively large party, so she did not want to be ostentatious!

The old her with the bright personality and bold character would not understand why she needed low-key when attending such a banquet.

After all, wherever she went, she made sure to be the dazzling pearl!

However, the current her did not want to be in the limelight anymore. It was not that she was inferior, but that her personality had changed!

She would not acknowledge her identity as the Yuan Family’s granddaughter-in-law before her relationship with Yuan Xuan is made clear. After all, the wedding had not successfully been completed.

Perhaps Yuan Xuan shared the same sentiment, which was why he promised to re-hold a wedding.

...

Every gown had a specific set of jewelry to match. The champagne colored dress when paired together with pink diamonds was absolutely lovely!

Yuan Xuan probably thought of this too. The set of pink jewelry, which comprised of a necklace, a bracelet, a ring, and a pair of earrings, was delicately crafted and looked stunning. It was the most eye-catching of all the sets available.

Mu Chenyan’s fingers skimmed across the surface of the jewelry box before she hesitated.

With a twinkle in her eyes, Ah Fu, who was by her side, commented softly, “Young Master really knows you well. Before he left, he had said that if you chose this champagne-colored set and couple with the pink diamond, then you are sure to be the gem of the room – even if you don’t want to be!”

As soon as Mu Chenyan heard this, her fingers moved away from the pink diamond.

She pointed at the pearl box set next to it and said in a low voice, “Take out the earrings and the headdress. You can put away the others.”

Ah Fu was puzzled. To her, it seemed that the young mistress fancied the pink diamond set, but after she heard the words of the young master, she insisted on choosing the pearl...
