Chapter 234: The Man with an Aristocratic Upbringing Who Acted like a Local Tyrant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Chenyan briefly groaned while trailing him. She walked to the front of her own little car and had just taken her car keys out before she could only hear the man’s muffled voice said, “Get in my car!”

Mu Chenyan paused before her little face turned puzzled with a tinge of adorable stubbornness. She thought to herself, ‘What for?’

During her moment of hesitation, Yuan Xuan impatiently continued, “Yan Jun will come and drive your car later so just get in mine!”

Mu Chenyan had initially thought of declining when she saw the frosty look on Yuan Xuan’s face. However, when she recalled the man’s various mean spirited actions earlier, she merely gave up when she thought of how an obedient woman should not fight with a man.

...

Yuan Xuan speedily drove his sports car and got on the elevated highway in the blink of an eye.

They were not returning to the mansion. The scenery along the way was completely different from that of West Hill. After being on the road for more than ten kilometers, Mu Chenyan could not suppress her anger anymore. She quietly asked, “Where are you taking me?”

“Don’t ask!” This was the first time that Yuan Xuan’s words were laced with anger when he spoke to Mu Chenyan. However, his attitude was lukewarm while his eyes continued looking at the traffic in front. He held the steering wheel with his distinctly-jointed slender fingers. The faint smell of pine on his body that was mixed with the scent of mint-flavored nicotine and tobacco was somewhat intoxicating.

( Boxno vel. co m ) Light golden hues reflected off his side profile under the setting sun while his long eyelashes could not conceal the coldness in his eyes.

His high nose bridge was the only part that could lighten the mood of others. That was also the part of him that Mu Chenyan previously liked the most.

However, Mu Chenyan was not in the mood to be lovestruck now. Moreover, she had a temper as well. If he did not permit her to ask, then she would not do so.

She offered him the back of her head in response.

Both of them remained silent along the journey. As the vehicle traveled on the road, this first-class sports car speedily whistled past the scenery in an arc-like motion.

The evening mist was thick and heavy. As the final red evening glow vanished from the corners of the sky, moonlight appeared. Stars scattered about the stillness while the motley shadows of trees could be seen. Several large words that spelled out “Liu Li Villa” were written on the mansion’s front door that possessed an unusually imposing manner.

The main part of the castle was an English-style building with a towering dignified air.

Mu Chenyan had known long ago that Yuan Xuan owned this mansion under his name. This was his playground in the extremely expensive area that was Luo Hai.

He had stayed here at Liu Li Villa when he previously brought Zhao Ruoxin over to sketch at Wintry Lake.

Amidst the confusion, she did not know how Yuan Xuan had tricked her into quietly following him from behind.

Yuan Xuan’s arrival caused the entire mountain villa to become busy. When the man entered the villa, the maids who were permanently stationed here surrounded him and took off his coat and hung it in the closet. Next, they brought slippers for him to change into. The man with an aristocratic upbringing acted like a local tyrant here.

The kitchen had started becoming busy as well. It seemed as though they had made sufficient preparations for their master’s arrival much earlier.

A 40 year old woman who appeared to be a housekeeper took small quick steps as she strode over to greet him. She briefly took in Mu Chenyan with a humble gaze before she lowered her voice and gently said, “You must be Mistress. Sir has prepared a room on the second floor for you so please follow me.”

Mu Chenyan heard her call Yuan Xuan “sir” instead of “Third Young Master” or even just “Young Master”.

It looked like this place was Yuan Xuan’s realm.

Over here, he was not the Yuan Family’s successor but the master of his own domain instead.

Yuan Xuan ignored her and went straight to the mansion’s wine cellar instead. As the man was fond of the bottle, drinking some red wine would probably be the best way for him to rest and recover from his fatigue after a long drive.

Mu Chenyan was only in the mood to carefully take in this castle after Yuan Xuan had left.

Liu Li Villa was a mansion that Yuan Xuan had bought after he returned from England. It was rumored that its previous owner was called Shen and he belonged to the older generation of one of Luo Hai’s aristocratic families. The old man of the Shen Family had the same ranking and respected status in his family hierarchy as Old Master Yuan. He was also considered as one of Country Z’s founding fathers. However, the Shen Family was ruined during his father’s generation due to certain reasons. Thus, they were expelled while the Shen Family became destitute and broken up.

Hence, the old mansion fell into the government’s hands. Previously, there were people who planned to involve his subordinates as well. Nonetheless, this exceptional mansion was never sold despite being auctioned. The reason for that was because they were worried that the members of the Shen Family who went into exile overseas would return and harass them.

It was rumored that the descendants of the Shen Family had gathered numerous forces from the underworld while they were abroad. Thus, although the Shen Clan Mansion was certainly tantalizing, it was potentially dangerous to obtain it as well.

Yuan Xuan’s largest expense when he first returned from England was spent on purchasing this hundred-year-old mansion from the auction house. Once it was taken care of, the previously dilapidated mansion was restored to its former glory.

The hall on the first floor was 10 meters high and entirely filled with 4-meter long dangling crystal chandeliers that illuminated the hall in brilliant lights. Meanwhile, the white marble spiral staircase that led to the second and third floors was decorated with decorative carved patterns while the floor was covered in marble as well.

Paintings were hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor of the ascending steps. These were all masterpieces of the Renaissance period.

Mu Chenyan was not well-versed in art but she was drawn to every painting nonetheless because their aesthetic values were far too high. There was one painting that Mu Chenyan felt like she recognized from the past. When she carefully looked at the inscription of the artist’s name, it wrote “Shu Qinger”...

Mu Chenyan fixed her gaze on that painting before she became despondent. The last time she saw Shu Qinger in England was when Yuan Xuan wanted to return home to his own country. Qinger came from Italy to send Yuan Xuan off and simultaneously gave Yuan Xuan a painting to take home.

The housekeeper led Mu Chenyan to a spacious bedroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor. The woman had a humble attitude when she smiled at Mu Chenyan and said, “You can call me Housekeeper Liu.”

“Hello, Sister Liu!” Mu Chenyan loudly greeted her in a relaxed manner.

Sister Liu looked Mu Chenyan up and down again. Her heart was filled with indescribable joy when she said, “Sir has such good taste!”

Upon hearing that, Mu Chenyan lowered her head and silently smiled. Sister Liu carefully briefed her, saying, “Mistress, you can go and bath first because dinner will only be served in about half an hour. The pajamas that Sir has prepared for you have already been placed inside the closet. If it’s necessary, I can get Cui’er to come over and attend to you?”

“That won’t be needed, I’ll be fine on my own.” Although Mu Chenyan originated from the Mu Family, she was not used to the extravagance of the Yuan Family.

Sister Liu turned on the water in the bathroom and properly set the water temperature before she filled the bathtub with rose petals and floral essence.

In comparison to the simple style of Hibiscus Garden, Liu Li Villa clearly seemed too luxurious.

Once Sister Liu had left, the exhausted Mu Chenyan quickly jumped into the enormous bathtub and bathed to her heart’s content. The flower petals swirled around the smooth skin and muscles of her entire body. She really loved this rose petal bath.

After getting out of the bathtub, Mu Chenyan wrapped herself in a towel and found numerous sets of sleepwear in the closet. However, Mu Chenyan could not find one that was suitable despite searching for a long time.

These were various types of sexy sleepwear but there were clearly too skimpy!

It was so revealing that she could not even directly look at it.

Mu Chenyan’s good mood disappeared from her heart. What in the world was Yuan Xuan trying to do?

...

The man waited in the dining room for a long time. The dishes that were arranged across the entire table all contained dishes that Mu Chenyan liked.

However, that woman had yet to come downstairs and the foot of the staircase was completely silent. Seeing Yuan Xuan elegantly leaning against the back of his chair and casting a faint serene gaze towards the second floor, Sister Liu perceptively said, “Sir, should I go and call Mistress over?”

Yuan Xuan put down his wine glass and waved his hand, saying, “I’ll go myself.”

Since he had already washed up in another room, he changed into a comfortable set of dark blue casual clothing before his long legs strode forward. He stepped on the white furry carpet in the bedroom as he walked inside.

Yuan Xuan saw that Mu Chenyan was wrapped in a bath towel, crouching on the floor in the closet in an awkward predicament. She was muttering to herself, “What the hell is he doing? How can I wear this?”

The pink bath towel was only wrapped up till around her chest, exposing the woman’s fine and smooth shoulders. Under the warm light of the closet, an enchanting glow reflected off her...
