Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You-Chapter 318 - A Picky Rabbit

Chapter 318: A Picky Rabbit

Yuan Xuan was stunned. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed while the gloomy expression on his face grew more intense. It felt as though a heavy rock had crushed his heart.

He dialed Wu Huai’s number. The other line was filled with noisy conversations. Wu Huai sounded slightly confused and tipsy. “Is that Third Young Master Yuan? Your wife? She just walked out the back door of the Golden Age Club…”

Crap!

Yuan Xuan raised his head and noticed the dazzling neon lights that spelled the words “Golden Age” above him. A series of doubts drifted through his mind…

He was unaware that Wu Huai had invited his guests to Golden Age tonight. He would definitely have taken Little Chenyan home if he had known about this.

“Who did she leave with?” Yuan Xuan asked calmly.

“I think she left with Su Qingcheng. You could call Little Su and ask her if you want…”

Yuan Xuan was faintly reassured when he heard that she was with Su Qingcheng.

He called Shao Yibai first and explained the situation to him. After that, he asked for Su Qingcheng’s address. His wife had turned off her phone despite leaving with someone else in the middle of the night. Was she planning to stay out all night?

Mu Chenyan tossed and turned in bed. She felt as though she was being tortured to death by the alcohol in her stomach.

She wondered why she had drunk so much on impulse. She felt worse now than the previous time when she ate the spicy mala cuisine in C City.

Her stomach churned while her head throbbed as though her skull was about to crack. Her mind was filled with the sound of her own pitiful wails…

Su Qingcheng brought Mu Chenyan some hot water to clean her face and poured some water for Mu Chenyan to drink. This woman was at a loss of what to do because she had never taken care of a drunk person before.

She would never have brought Yuan Xuan’s wife back to her own home if Mu Chenyan had not cried and kicked up a huge fuss earlier. Mu Chenyan firmly refused to return to the Yuan household.

Su Qingcheng rented a place in one of the densely-packed but upscale apartment complexes on Han City Road. It contained two halls and two bedrooms. The apartment was furnished with expensive furniture and kitchen and bathroom tools. The apartment was clean and tidy.

The number of rooms suited her fine because she did not usually get visitors. However, the presence of an additional person stressed Su Qingcheng out. She had to sleep in the living room because there were no extra beds for her to use.

“Miss Su, is your friend drunk?”

Aunty Zhang, the nanny, asked quietly from the other bedroom.

Su Qingcheng nodded and glanced toward the bedroom behind Aunty Zhang. She lowered her voice and asked, “Is An An asleep?”

“He fell asleep a long time ago, but he was asking to see his mother before he finally dozed off! An An can sleep at my place since your friend is here tonight. That’ll make it easier for you to take care of your friend!”

Aunty Zhang was nearly fifty years old. She had worked as a live-in nanny for numerous households. She was the first nanny that Su Qingcheng found when she brought her four-year-old son to Luo Hai. They were now as close as relatives after all that time they had spent together.

Su Qingcheng was extremely grateful. “Thank you!

“Aunty Zhang, is there any way to make her feel better?”

Su Qingcheng guessed that Mu Chenyan was suffering when she saw her tossing about and ripping at her clothes.

She had no idea why Mu Chenyan suddenly looked so upset when she returned from her walk. She finished half a bottle of red wine before she gulping down two bottles of beer.

Aunty Zhang pondered and said, “Get her to throw up first. Next, give her some water mixed with honey and see if it works!”

Su Qingcheng helped Mu Chenyan to stand up and helped her get to the bathroom. Aunty Zhang assisted her as she tried to make Mu Chenyan vomit.

When Mu Chenyan recalled this incident in the future, she felt as though Su Qingcheng had saved her life again…

Mu Chenyan’s stomach felt slightly better once she had thrown up. Her head was still throbbing and her heart seemed to be thumping wilder and wilder.

Mu Chenyan clearly had a low tolerance for alcohol. She was also terribly annoying when she was drunk.

“Brother Xuan, feed me! I want Brother Xuan to feed me…”

Aunty Zhang mixed some honey with water and passed it to Su Qingcheng. Suddenly, Mu Chenyan panicked when she saw the liquid in the cup. She wanted Brother Xuan to feed her so that they could take turns drinking mouthfuls of it. That would allow her to drink less of the concoction as well.

She had mistaken the honey and water for medicine!

“Your Brother Xuan isn’t here. Do you want me to send you back to Hibiscus Garden?”

Su Qingcheng never thought that Mu Chenyan would behave in such a childlike manner when she was drunk. She was usually cold and indifferent.

Mu Chenyan hid under the blanket. She looked at Su Qingcheng with her big bright eyes before she burst out laughing. “Don’t lie to me. Yuan Xuan doesn’t want me anymore so he chased me out. Why would he let you send me back to that zoo?

“I’ll be eaten by the tigers in the zoo! After all, I’m such a cute little white rabbit!”

Mu Chenyan nodded enthusiastically. Fear seeped through her gaze. This little rabbit was truly afraid when she thought of the tigers!

Huh…

What did she mean by the “zoo”?

“I won’t send you to the zoo, but you have to be a good girl and drink this honey drink. I’ll let you eat the freshest green grass!”

Su Qingcheng was forced to coax her. After all, it was impossible to speak logically to a drunk person.

“I want carrots. I don’t eat grass!”

Mu Chenyan was behaving like a spoiled child. “This rabbit has never liked eating grass. I only like carrots…”

Damn! She was a picky rabbit…

“Yes, carrots. Lots of them!”

Su Qingcheng forced Mu Chenyan to take a few sips of the beverage.

Shao Yibai had taken care of her when she had previously gotten drunk. She wondered if she had also acted like an adorable fool. However, Shao Yibai had also taken advantage of her during those moments besides simply taking care of her.

When Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyan’s drunken behavior, she swore to herself that she would never get intoxicated ever again!

Mu Chenyan finally dozed off after tossing about for half an hour.

Su Qingcheng sighed in relief. She looked at her watch and realized that it was already past nine o’clock. She had informed Wu Huai about this when she arrived home, but she forgot to inform the Yuan Family because she was too busy. They were unaware that she had “kidnapped” the Third Young Mistress.

Su Qingcheng decided to call Yuan Xuan when she returned to her senses. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door.

Aunty Zhang threw on more clothes before she opened the door and went outside. Her voice echoed through the doorway. “Sir, it’s so late. Why are you here again? Miss Su said that she doesn’t want to see you…”

Su Qingcheng immediately realized that it was Shao Yibai from Aunty Zhang’s tone!

When he came around previously, Su Qingcheng told Aunty Zhang that she could never let him in. This man was an uninvited guest.

In the beginning, Aunty Zhang did not want to treat him rudely. Although he was terribly stubborn, he was also a humble and polite gentleman. He never caused a ruckus when whenever he came over but merely stood at the doorway and waited. He would neither leave nor force his way inside.

Fortunately, he only came over when An An was away at preschool. Otherwise, this child would definitely be frightened if he saw him.

“Aunty Zhang, I’m here to take my friend’s wife home!”

Shao Yibai thought that Su Qingcheng was a brave woman because she brought Third Young Master Yuan’s wife home with her without even informing him. He was not surprised that Yuan Xuan sent him upstairs to get his wife while he waited downstairs with a dark expression.

Su Qingcheng let her guard down when she heard that he was here for Mu Chenyan. She turned to Aunty Zhang and said, “Let him in!”

Shao Yibai was secretly pleased.

He had visited this apartment numerous times but this was the first time Su Qingcheng allowed him to come inside.

However, he never aggravated her. He merely waited outside at the entrance when she refused to let him in. Frankly, he only wanted to catch a glimpse of her. Even if he was denied entry, his heart would be consoled as long as he got to see her.

How did the ace of the special forces become such a pathetic man?

He had no idea!

The interior was decorated cozily. Shao Yibai had previously sent someone to investigate this expensive apartment. He discovered that it was owned by Li Ji, the son of Bureau Chief Li from the publicity bureau.
