Chapter 239: Hallucinogens
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Qingcheng was truly a hot-tempered woman whose manner was unlike Mu Chenyan’s.
Although she currently looked like someone who constantly lost her temper, Mu Chenyan was still a gentle young woman at heart. She would occasionally harden up but her soft side would always be there.
Su Qingcheng was different. She was an unyielding, stubborn person both inside and out. It was highly likely that this woman would desperately fight against Shao Yibai if he ever came down hard on her.
Most of the women who had learned martial arts were hard pills to swallow.
When Shao Yibai heard him say that, he looked at Yuan Xuan before his expression suddenly became threateningly cold and furious. He lowered his head and rubbed the card in his hand before an extremely sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
“How could these women be compared to Su Qingcheng?”
Shao Yibai ruthlessly threw the business card into the trash can when he said that…
There was not a single hint of fondness on the gloomy man’s face. It seemed as though the veteran at the romantic scene from earlier was not him at all!
Yuan Xuan suddenly understood how Shao Yibai could wait for one woman for so many years. Aside from Su Qingcheng, there was no lack of women around him. Nonetheless, he had never settled down with a woman. Apparently, this man’s heart had not been awakened.
…
When they returned to Hibiscus Garden, Yuan Xuan saw his wife, a woman who became extremely happy just by holding a large fresh pumpkin, was quietly reading a book on the long bench on the veranda while being draped in a thin, light pink starry flannel blanket.
His young wife was wearing glasses because it was not well-lit there. Her smooth little face looked rather serene.
Without the charm and attractiveness of the girls in the bar, Chenyan’s intelligent beauty was different from before and was more fascinating.
Yuan Xuan could not help but swallow his saliva. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down several times while a certain misbehaving part of his body continuously moved restlessly.
The man patiently endured it for a while because he wanted to restrain that uneasiness and heat.
He had somewhat given in to his excessive lust when he repeatedly tormented her every night during the few days they were at Liu Li Villa.
However, Yuan Xuan could not think of anything that he would rather do aside from getting on top of her every time he saw her.
Mu Chenyan was clearly unaware that this man not far away from her was at a loss. She combed several sections of her hair and exposed faint purple marks on her shoulders and neck.
He had given all of them to her.
The more she asked him to be gentle, the more vigorous he became as though this was the only way that he could express his deep longing for her. These marks were inevitable because he occasionally lost sense of the severity of his actions. Moreover, her skin was also tender.
However, this woman was also amazing because she always had ways to drive him crazy every time he wanted her.
Yuan Xuan unconsciously recalled her appearance when she had just returned from prison. In comparison, this woman had drastically changed now. She was no longer quiet and dull. On the contrary, her fiery life force had returned.
Perhaps this was related to his repeated lessons on the bed.
Yes, it was like that indeed.
Yuan Xuan started becoming pleased with himself when he thought of these things.
There was a warm smile on his face when he silently walked towards the veranda and stood there.
The woman raised her head from her book when she smelled the scent of alcohol on him. When she removed her glasses, she was stunned to see that the man’s face was flushed from the drinking. She placed her book aside and quietly said, “Did you have a lot to drink again? Go and take a shower. All I can smell is alcohol and it stinks…”
She sounded like she was complaining but there was a flirtatious tone in her voice.
When he heard the charming hints in her gentle voice, Yuan Xuan was suddenly unable to restrain himself.
He abruptly bent his body downward and firmly kissed the woman’s red lips that were still rattling on…
Since Mu Chenyan was unprepared, the man quickly and effortlessly ravaged her throat…
Her little hands and legs fervently kicked and scratched in protest but she did not expect to incite the man’s dissatisfaction. He grabbed her hands and raised them above her head while pressing them against the back of the long bench.
He continued to attack with his tongue, passing the faint aroma in his mouth to her. After a while, Mu Chenyan felt as though she was about to get drunk as well.
The kiss continued for a long time without stopping.
The breathing of these two people who were entangled became heavier while the scent of red wine spread throughout their lips.
Yuan Xuan would not be satisfied with a single kiss. He reached his hand in through her lapel and pinched and fondled. The painful pinching sensation suddenly shocked Mu Chenyan awake.
Mu Chenyan’s scalp tingled when she realized that this man wanted to sleep with her again.
During the several days they spent in Liu Li Villa, he tormented her to the point of exhaustion due to their passionate nights. Thus, she had initially assumed that Yuan Xuan would wake up and stop dreaming that they were Adam and Eve once they had returned from that paradise on Earth.
She had never imagined that he would continue on with his excessive demands. If this continued, their world would change while their house would no longer be home.
Would there be any difference between her and Su Daji who destroyed the Shang dynasty or Yang Yuhuan who ruined the Tang dynasty? (TN: Famous consorts in Chinese history who were said to have caused the downfall of their respective dynasties.)
Various scenes flashed through Mu Chenyan’s mind before she suddenly exerted all of her strength to push the man’s lowering body away while she heavily panted.
“Stop it!” Mu Chenyan quietly objected. “I need to wake up early and go to work tomorrow.”
Her gaze was piercingly cold when she displayed the forcefulness that was expected of a career woman. Mu Chenyan was unavoidably vexed when she thought of how she was pinned down by him every night.
Yuan Xuan was stunned. He could not help but think that her job was truly dispensable when he saw that she was completely serious.
However, he knew that she was stubborn. If he did not allow her to go out and work, she would display annoyed expressions at him and raise hell.
Thus, he dropped the subject and comforted her saying, “Alright, you can just focus on these things, Mistress. However, don’t work too hard!”
Mu Chenyan nodded while heaving a sigh of relief mentally.
She still had no idea about how to explain her whereabouts during these few days to her colleagues.
When both of them went upstairs, Mu Chenyan suddenly thought of Zhao Yanni and said, “How is Ruoxin’s mother now?”
Yuan Xuan’s expression greatly worsened when he heard Zhao Ruoxin’s name. He rubbed his temples while a threatening aura emerged.
“She’s still alright but it’s very difficult to say whether she can return to the condition of a normal person in the future.”
Yuan Xuan’s gaze fell on Mu Chenyan while he spoke. Her delicate little face was shocked.
Yuan Xuan continued and explained, “Not only was she poisoned by Zong He Sanatorium, but they probably fed her some hallucinogens on a normal basis as well! Her mind is hazy now but she’ll probably need to continue staying in Zong He Sanatorium once she’s discharged from the hospital.”
Yuan Xuan casually mentioned these things but Mu Chenyan still inhaled a breath of cold air.
Hallucinogens?
It was not surprising that Mu Chenyan had always felt that Zhao Yanni was not actually a mentally ill patient but a scapegoat who was merely slightly different from an average person.
“Who gave her those hallucinogens?”
Mu Chenyan could not help but ask.
Yuan Xuan took some casual clothing out of the closet. The corners of his lips stretched into an arc when he looked at the woman who was planning to pursue this question to the end.
“Why don’t you try your best to fulfill your responsibilities as Mrs Yuan instead of aggressively minding other people’s business?”
When Mu Chenyan saw through his constricted pupils that he was harboring ill intentions, she recoiled her body under the blankets before she shook her head and pitifully said, “I don’t want to! I want to request for leave.”
Yuan Xuan mischievously smiled before he went into the bathroom.
The whooshing sound of flowing water confused Mu Chenyan’s state of mind.
She briefly visited Liu Li Villa with Yuan Xuan for no reason only to return and discover that she was cut off from the Zong He case.
If Su Qingcheng was unwilling to reveal the slightest bit of information to her, she did not even need to consider Wu Huai.
The chatterbox Zhang Xin was also completely silent regarding this case. Presently, she was still only aware of the same developments that occurred before she left.
When she suddenly heard Yuan Xuan say that Zhao Yanni had taken hallucinogens, an uneasy feeling seized her mind when she recalled how pitiful that woman appeared when she wailed in front of her own daughter…
