Yuan Xuan had instructed Yan Jun to pick Mu Chenyan up and take her home. He then rushed to the supermarket to buy some cooking ingredients.
Yuan Xuan was never concerned about small matters like grocery shopping before this.
As the Young Master of the Yuan Family, both his clothes and food were specially made for him. Had he ever pushed a shopping cart through the supermarket before?
That was an unimaginable scene…
Mu Chenyan wanted to follow him, but Yuan Xuan had refused to let her come along. The supermarket was packed with people and the quality of the air there was bad. He told her to go home with Yan Jun first.
Mu Chenyan had no choice but to leave this to Chef Yuan!
She thought that Yuan Xuan could actually become a world-class chef if he decided to stop working at his company.
After all, a studious person like him would always be serious about completing their tasks. He would not just give in to failure.

Ah Fu rushed over to Mu Chenyan when she had returned to Hibiscus Garden. “Mistress, are we going to have a Little Master soon?”
Mu Chenyan felt both amused and embarrassed when she saw the excited little girl. She was not used to the fact that she had been given a new status as a mother so suddenly and could not help but blush whenever asked about it.
“It might be a Little Mistress!” Mu Chenyan said with a smile.
“The little prince or princess will definitely be adorable!”
Mu Chenyan laughed and shook her head helplessly when she heard this.
A thought flashed across Mu Chenyan’s mind when she went up the stairs and walked past Yuan Xuan’s study.
She scanned her surroundings in a hurry before pushing open the door.
Mu Chenyan turned on his computer. Her fingers trembled as she entered a series of numbers. She had first met Yuan Xuan on the 6th of March, the day that marked the beginning of the third solar term…
The screen flashed and an image of herself appeared.
She stared at her own picture in shock. A few seconds had passed before Mu Chenyan realized that she had turned on the computer!
Yuan Xuan’s wallpaper was a picture of her while they were studying in England. She was very surprised by this.
She was only 17 years old in that picture. She looked sweet and innocent, but it was not a surprise that she was a bit stuck up then. The Yuan Xuan back then did not seem to have a good impression of her because she was always pestering him.
He had apparently liked her all this while!
Mu Chenyan’s fingertips turned white as she looked at the screen. The hand that was holding the mouse quivered.
She did not know whether this would be considered as a betrayal.
Mu Chenwu did not explain why he wanted the things he asked for.
However, her brother had promised that he would leave Luo Hai once he had obtained this information. He would never show his face here ever again.
Neither she nor her mother could leave now. Yuan Xuan would never allow her to leave, especially now that she was pregnant. Nonetheless, she would be relieved if Mu Chenwu could leave safely.
Yuan Xuan and Mu Chenyan had been together for a long time. She knew that Mu Chenwu would be sending himself to the grave if he resisted Yuan Xuan with his current forces.
She could not allow Mu Chenwu to fight against overwhelming odds. She would not let that happen, at least for now.
Mu Chenyan opened several files on the desktop. She could not find the one file that Mu Chenwu needed after rummaging through the computer for a while.
Could it be that this file was not saved on this computer?
Mu Chenyan sat there and pondered. Yuan Xuan usually did his work in this room. That meant that this computer would definitely have stored certain information. It would be impossible if he did not save them here.
Mu Chenyan combed through the smaller files on his various portable hard drives carefully. There were only a few files on Yuan Xuan’s hard drives, and one of them was locked with a password.
Mu Chenyan looked at it and keyed in a password. When she opened it, she discovered that it was filled with photos of herself as she grew up…
There were pictures of her as a child. They showed her running around and causing a ruckus in the Yuan household while she played with Yuan Tian. There were also photos of her as a young girl in junior high when she tied her hair in braids.
She saw herself who loved playing basketball in high school leaping up from the court. Yuan Xuan had gotten someone to take these pictures of her. She looked like a simple-minded person in these photos.
Next up were the pictures of her in high school. She saw pictures of her at every public speaking competition and every study group meeting she had organized. There were pictures of her in a swimsuit and one where the corners of her mouth were stained with ketchup while eating a steak…
Mu Chenyan felt as though she was taking a walk down the memory lane when she looked at those photos.
In their relationship, she had always assumed that she loved Yuan Xuan more than he loved her, but now she realized she was the one who tended to show off her love while Yuan Xuan had merely chosen to display his in a restrained manner…
The only thing that troubled her was that the indifference Yuan Xuan had shown to her during the ten years she had pursued him was a result of his confusion and hesitance toward her love.
A warm heart was hidden behind this man’s cold and arrogant appearance!
If she had not gotten to know Yuan Xuan better this past year after she was released from prison, she would have never realized that he loved her so much…
Mu Chenyan felt bittersweet when she looked at all the pictures in the folder. Her eyes welled up with tears as well.
The woman closed the files and caressed her belly. Although it was still flat, a tiny life was growing in there at the very moment.
She had never stopped loving Yuan Xuan despite everything. She had never been able to turn away from the temptation of loving him and had flung herself into the thrill of it recklessly.
She was torn between the Mu Family and the Yuan Family, but her heart was leaning toward Yuan Xuan in the final moments.
Nonetheless, she would feel more at ease if Mu Chenwu agreed to leave Luo Hai safe and sound. When she thought of this, she opened the files again.
Seconds and minutes ticked by. Mu Chenyan was panicking, but she forced herself to stay calm.
Mu Chenyan finally found the information that Mu Chenwu wanted in a hidden file.
She transferred a copy of the file to her flash drive hastily before sending another copy of it to her email.
Ah Fu’s shocked cries echoed from downstairs. “Young Master, you’ve bought so many ingredients! We’ll have enough to last us for a really long time!”
“I bought a little bit of everything to make sure that the Mistress gets enough nourishment! Women usually have a hard time when they’re pregnant, so I have to take good care of her during these few months. You can leave the cooking to me during this period of time.”
Yuan Xuan rolled up his sleeves as he said this. This man was a CEO and an incomparably elegant son of an aristocrat, but he looked like an actual chef now…
Ah Fu watched as this godlike man came down upon his high horse and walked into the kitchen. The helpless girl could not help but sigh to herself. She thought, ‘The Mistress might just be the most charming person ever. The successor of Luo Hai’s first aristocratic family had actually become such a down-to-earth househusband with her…’
Mu Chenyan panicked when she heard the noises. Her forehead was immediately covered in sweat. She removed her flash drive right away and pressed the button to turn the computer off.
The woman left the study and rushed into the bedroom. Yuan Xuan walked to the corner of the stairs and yelled, “Mistress, are you sleeping again?”
Mu Chenyan poked her head out of the bedroom. She pretended to look as if she had just woken up and crawled out of bed. She smiled and said, “Nonsense! As if I’d spend the entire day sleeping. Do I look like a pig to you?”
Mu Chenyan had changed into a set of pink pajamas. She looked adorable when the fluffy bunny ears on her outfit fell on her shoulders. Her husband could not help but approach her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He lowered his head and kissed her lips…
Their tongues quickly intertwined with each other and the suckling noises they made were getting more and more erotic. Mu Chenyan had trouble breathing at one point. She moaned softly as her hands grabbed the smooth flesh around Yuan Xuan’s waist tightly.
Yuan Xuan relaxed a little when he noticed that she needed some air. He did not intend to release her anytime soon though.
This man was an extremely good kisser, but his skills were deadly as well. Mu Chenyan felt as though she had turned into a pool of water after kissing for just a while.
Mu Chenyan was feeling emotional now. Perhaps this was caused by the pregnancy, or the anxiety that she was feeling earlier. This could have also arisen when she realized that Yuan Xuan was keeping secrets from her.
She leaned into Yuan Xuan’s embrace. Her thoughts and heart were an absolute mess. She murmured, “Everything feels like a dream…”
Yuan Xuan had instructed Yan Jun to pick Mu Chenyan up and take her home. He then rushed to the supermarket to buy some cooking ingredients.
