"I'll cooperate, of course." Yuan Xuan's gloomy expression later brightened.
Outside the window, his dainty wife came out of the mansion's ecological garden. Her face was filled with joy as she carried a beautifully carved pumpkin in her arms.
"Mistress, slow down and don't rush. You can just get the maid to hold these things..."
Sister Liu was truly skilled in cultivating numerous types of local specialties. She was a real foodie who could produce such beautiful things even if they were just meant to be eaten.
Yuan Xuan could not help but smile.
...
Mu Chenyan's phone only regained its usual functions when she returned to Luo Hai after being away for a long time. The moment she turned it on, she saw several notifications that listed her unanswered phone calls before Su Qingcheng's numerous messages asking detailed questions came rushing in.
It was fortunate that Su Qingcheng was unaware of Mu Chenyan's role in Mu Chenwu's case. Additionally, she did not reveal the developments of the case to Mu Chenyan because of Wu Huai's warnings.
Mu Chenyan replied Su Qingcheng's messages to report that she was safe.
Another person who was more impatient was Zhang Xin. The distracted young man repeatedly messaged Mu Chenyan to ask about her whereabouts every day...
Mu Chenyan replied all of them.
Mu Chenyan and Ah Fu took the various local produce down from the car when she returned to Hibiscus Garden. Yuan Xuan did not stop her but allowed her to do as she pleased instead.
This woman behaved better when she had exhausted herself.
Yuan Xuan felt that it was better for Mu Chenyan to know less about the commotion regarding the situation in Luo Hai...
Shao Yibai came to the Yuan Family Mansion in the afternoon.
Since he could not catch hold of Yuan Xuan these few days, he could not help but anticipate his return. The two men went to have a drink at the bar together.
"You're finally willing to change your tactics in treating Little Chenyan!"
Shao Yibai heard that Yuan Xuan had taken Mu Chenyan sightseeing for more than a week while chaos was brewing. He felt that Yuan Xuan's manner of handling problems had become gentler because he was no longer so rigid. He could not help but sighed, "In the past, you would've ignored everything else to capture Mu Chenwu, right?"
In front of Shao Yibai, Yuan Xuan could relax his heart. He took a cigarette from the table and lit it up with his Zippo lighter. It ignited faint sparks and caused dark smoke to rise. Yuan Xuan's narrowed eyes resembled arcs when he lamented, "Although it's important to capture Mu Chenwu, I don't want Mu Chenyan to find out and hate me.
"Thus, it's not necessary for me to personally take action on this matter."
Shao Yibai raised his glass of red wine. Meanwhile, preparations for the erotic dance performance in the evening were already starting on the stage in the corner of the bar.
"Do you really trust those police officers so much?"
Shao Yibai felt that it would be more reliable to do everything personally. All along, his style was to keep to himself and act as he pleased.
"Mu Chenwu already has the Zong He case against him. The police station has also put him on their record. He'll appear sooner or later if he wants to get his revenge against me. Since he won't be able to escape when that time comes, I'm currently not frantically looking for him."
"Speaking of which, your brother-in-law was rather cunning. You didn't even know that he stole that little treasury right before your eyes, right?"
Shao Yibai's words were filled with a mocking tone while he joyfully laughed. Shao Yibai faintly took pleasure in Yuan Xuan's misery when he thought of how Mu Chenyan had tormented Yuan Xuan and caused him a lot of trouble.
Yuan Xuan had his own plans. There was a cold expression on his face when he quietly said, "Mu Chenwu would have had to rely on more than the little treasury that his father left him when he returned to Luo Hai and organized his forces. That was merely a cover-up."
Shao Yibai sneered, "Nothing gets past you!"
The two men toasted and drank throughout the entire afternoon.
Since he was slightly tipsy, Shao Yibai's vision became blurred. In his drunk state, the charm of a matured man permeated across his entire body in a brilliant manner that radiated all around.
The evening show in the bar would start at 6 o'clock.
Shao Yibai was too eye-catching. In a short while, he became the man who attracted the most women in the bar.
Shao Yibai was also a frequent visitor in the world of romance in Capital City. He was a skilled player when it came to having fun.
Nonetheless, he was also the best at keeping his hands clean.
It sounded ironic but it was the truth.
Several blonde young women stared at him for a long time on the side. Now that a man of his caliber was here, they could simply disregard everything else. The women did not bother to act reserved because they felt that it was good enough if he even looked them in the eye.
"Sir, would you mind having a drink with me?"
Suddenly, a woman with large wavelike curls cast a beautiful smile in his direction. She was provocatively charming. She pursed her gorgeous plump red lips and left a dark flirtatious mark on the rim of her crystal glass.
"Of course I wouldn't mind!"
Shao Yibai smiled as he took the wine glass from that woman's hand and drank from the spot where the print of her lips remained.
Yuan Xuan was in awe of this aspect of Shao Yibai. He never rejected any women outside because he believed in the saying "the more the merrier".
Conversely, Yuan Xuan's germophobia was a mental and physical issue. He rejected anything and everything externally tempting.
He could neither touch nor look at other women, much less flirt with them.
Shao Yibai was different.
He mentally enjoyed his various encounters with beautiful women but persevered in maintaining various ridiculous physical boundaries between them.
The curly-haired beauty was elated when she saw that Shao Yibai was extremely welcoming. Her graceful body approached him before she plastered herself against the man's warm chest and said, "Then you wouldn't mind coming to my house for a drink too, right?"
The woman had really fair skin and crimson red lips. Moreover, she was also provocatively eye-catching from the front because he visually estimated her chest size to be 36D. She was a rare thing indeed.
Shao Yibai laughed. He was unusually handsome when his bewitching almond-shaped eyes narrowed into an attractive arc before he said, "I can't do that tonight. My friend is with me so it's not convenient. Leave your contact details with me so I can look for you later."
The woman glanced at the silent figure in the dark shadows before displaying a shocked expression. Yuan Xuan's dark shadow was previously concealed by Shao Yibai's brilliance. Thus, the woman had only realized now that the man in the corner was more attractive. His cold and arrogant gaze simply enchanted everyone in a matter of seconds.
As both of the men here were equally outstanding, the woman's breathing became rather unsteady. She looked casual but she was actually carefully scheming when she smiled attractively at Yuan Xuan.
Yuan Xuan ignored her and lifted his wine glass while a frosty look appeared on his face.
When the woman saw the look of abstinence on Yuan Xuan's face, she consciously reeled in her gaze because she knew that this man would not be as easy to handle as Shao Yibai.
She charmingly smiled at Shao Yibai before she took a business card out of her bag. She kissed it with her red lips and passed it to Shao Yibai, saying, "Remember to call me!"
Shao Yibai smiled as he took it and said, "Don't worry, baby."
The woman reluctantly left and turned back several times with every step.
When she returned to her group of friends, there were envious looks on her companions' faces as they said, "He actually kept your phone number..."
That woman's gaze never left Shao Yibai while the crowd continued to cheer. They had come out to have a good time. Passionate encounters between men and women were a normal thing to these people but when they saw exceptional men like Shao Yibai and Yuan Xuan, the women were more willing to be direct.
Shao Yibai turned towards the direction of those women and placed the curly-haired beauty's business card beside his lips before he kissed it. He evoked a scream from the crowd at that instance.
"Wow, it's going to be interesting..."
Yuan Xuan faintly smiled. He neither knew what Shao Yibai was thinking about nor did he know how he thought of such ridiculous things. How could the military-ranked "bandit chief" from Capital City do these things...
After leaving the bar
Yuan Xuan watched Shao Yibai tug at the collar of his jacket. His tall figure made him look like a model while there was an indescribable smile on his sinister face.
"What? Are you planning to take a chick from Luo Hai home and finish the deed since you were unsuccessful with your Little Chili?"
Yuan Xuan could not help but recall that stunning shoulder throw when he thought of Su Qingcheng...
