Chapter 79

"Did he just leave like that?" Yao Leilei stood there, staring at the disappearing back of Mu Yan, and only then realized she was still naked. She quickly put on her clothes.

She knew that Mu Yan had stopped at the last moment, but after being bullied by him like that, she couldn't pretend nothing had happened.

But when she recalled the regretful look in Mu Yan's eyes at the end, Yao Leilei felt an unusual heartbeat.

"Why did he stop at the last moment?" Yao Leilei was puzzled. She didn't think her weak threat at the end had any effect. The only explanation was that Mu Yan had pulled back at the last second.

At this moment, Yao Leilei's feelings were particularly complex. She felt neither the relief of escaping from his clutches nor the pain of being bullied. She didn't know what she was feeling, but she knew she had to go back and hide in her bed, thinking of nothing.

Mu Yan didn't return home but secretly went back to Yu Jing's villa.

Perhaps because Yu Jing had given instructions, Shan Shan didn't appear to stop him, although Mu Yan knew that the girl knew he had come in.

Yu Jing had just fallen asleep. When Mu Yan saw her, he didn't say a word, just picked her up and carried her straight into the bedroom.

After more than half an hour, Mu Yan tightly hugged the woman in his arms, who was still panting, and said softly, "I'm sorry!"

Just now, Yu Jing clearly felt that Mu Yan wasn't as gentle as he usually was during their intimate moments. The whole process seemed more like a release. She knew something must have happened to Mu Yan, so she silently endured it. Only when she heard his apology did she feel a bit more comforted.

"What happened?" Yu Jing asked gently.

Mu Yan wanted to say something but shook his head and said, "Nothing, just a bit of a problem with Wenwen. I think you know who Wenwen is!"

Of course, Yu Jing knew. When Mu Yan told her he had a girlfriend, she had someone investigate. But now, she didn't feel triumphant about the problems between Mu Yan and Zhou Wenwen. Instead, she felt a bit sweet because Mu Yan had told her, even if it was just a vague statement, it showed that he trusted her.

"Do you need my help?" Yu Jing asked.

Mu Yan shook his head and smiled, "I've only heard of wives chasing away other women for their husbands, not finding them. Don't spoil me, Xiao Jing, or men can easily be spoiled."

"I'm just a concubine trying to please the empress. If you don't want it, that's fine!" Yu Jing said playfully.

"You, if I hadn't met Wenwen, I would have made you the empress. Now, I can only make you suffer!" Mu Yan kissed her forehead gently and said softly.

"I can't be the empress. Not only am I bound by the Su family's contract, but I've been married and have a child. Even if I could pass the empress dowager's test, I couldn't pass my own!" Yu Jing said.

"Anything I'm willing to do, I'll do, no matter what obstacles there are!" Mu Yan said with unusual determination.

Yu Jing knew that Mu Yan wasn't just saying this because it was impossible now. If it really came to that, he would do it.

She was moved again, and the slight displeasure from his earlier release on her completely disappeared.

"Alright, let's not talk about troubling things. Let's talk about the company. I need to deal with the Su family quickly, I can't let my concubine always be worried!" Mu Yan said with a smile.

Since Zhou Wenwen saw Mu Yan and Yao Leilei being intimate in the taxi, her eyes hadn't stopped tearing.

When she walked into the house, although she tried to stop crying, Jiang Youlan, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, immediately noticed something was wrong with her daughter.

"Wenwen, what's wrong? Didn't you go on a date with Mu Yan? What happened?" Jiang Youlan walked up to her daughter, looking at her red and swollen eyes, feeling a pang of pain.

Her daughter had always been obedient and was her precious treasure. Seeing her daughter cry until her eyes were swollen, Jiang Youlan couldn't help but worry.

"I... I..."

"Mom!" Zhou Wenwen wanted to find an excuse, but under her mother's concerned gaze, she, who had never been hurt in love, couldn't hold back and called out, rushing into her mother's arms.

"What happened?" Zhou Xueru heard his daughter's crying and came out of his study.

Seeing his daughter's eyes were swollen from crying, he immediately asked, "Wenwen, did that Mu Yan bully you? Did he want you to sleep with him because your mother and I agreed to him?"

"Dad, no, don't say that!" Zhou Wenwen immediately defended herself when she heard this.

"Then what happened? Wenwen, tell Mom. You know Mom is reasonable and has lived more than twenty years longer than you. It will help to talk about it!" Jiang Youlan stroked her daughter's hair, trying to be gentle.

"Mom... I..."

Seeing her daughter's hesitation, Jiang Youlan smiled, "Silly girl, your mother would never harm you. Besides, I'll only give you advice. The choice is yours, and I won't interfere."

Hearing her mother's assurance, Zhou Wenwen nodded but still pulled her mother into her room, leaving Zhou Xueru, the father, anxious.

Zhou Wenwen had always trusted her mother, so she didn't hide anything and told her everything that happened today, even the part where she saw Mu Yan and Yao Leilei being intimate in the alley.

Jiang Youlan listened carefully. After hearing her daughter's story, she was somewhat surprised. Mu Yan was just a labor reform convict, yet he had not only won her daughter's heart but also made a policewoman fall for him. He had denied any relationship with the policewoman at first, but after Wenwen left, he was intimate with her again. This made Jiang Youlan very angry. She had never liked Mu Yan much, and now she liked him even less. She decided to use this opportunity to break them up. After all, her daughter had been with him for a short time and hadn't suffered any significant loss. Even if she was sad for a while, she would get over it.

After making up her mind, Jiang Youlan sighed and shook her head in front of her daughter but didn't say anything.

Seeing her mother's reaction, Zhou Wenwen asked anxiously, "Mom, what should I do?"

Seeing her daughter's anxious and helpless look, Jiang Youlan sighed, "Wenwen, before, our understanding of Mu Yan was all from what you told us. We only met him once, and to be honest, one meeting isn't enough to determine what kind of person he is. That's why we hoped you wouldn't get involved with him too quickly. If something went wrong, at least there would be a chance to fix it. But now, it seems that Mu Yan might be a hypocrite and have questionable character!"
