Chapter 1343 - Han Mubai’s Suspicions
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Mubai had never seen Yuan Shuangrui so flustered before. She had always appeared to him as a demure lady.
He felt comfortable hanging out with her. He didn't love her, but neither was he disgusted by her.
Looking at Yuan Shuangrui's expression, he thought that something was amiss.
Although he showed concern through his words, he was carefully observing Shuangrui's every expression.
He noticed every single change on her face, from her shocked expression even to after she had calmed down.
He thought that things definitely weren't as simple as Yuan Shuangrui described it to be. It wasn't just a cat that showed up.
Han Mubai had been brought up in a tough environment and had led the Han family to greater heights. That wasn't a simple feat, and it showed that he possessed great analytical skills too.
Yuan Shuangrui had never looked this way before. After hanging out with her for so long, he had never seen her act like that.
Each time she dealt with something, she was always calm and rational. Hence, Han Mubai felt suspicious seeing how unusual she was behaving.
The reason why Han Mubai was so suspicious was because he placed a heavy emphasis on the future matron of the Han family.
The future of the Han family depended on him, and they needed a reliable matron too. If Yuan Shuangrui were hiding something from him, it would be disadvantageous to the Han family.
Hence, judging by how meticulous Han Mubai was, he would probably investigate on Yuan Shuangrui.
Seeing that Qin Huailing was nowhere to be found, Yuan Shuangrui heaved a sigh of relief and raised her head to look at Han Mubai. Meeting his deep eyes, she was startled.
Yuan Shuangrui broke out into a cold sweat, and she finally realized that she had lost her composure.
It was only now that she realized that she had committed a huge mistake. She had lost her cool in front of Han Mubai, and it would make him suspicious of her.
In their huge families, a small doubt would lead them to start a thorough investigation.
Yuan Shuangrui's heart thumped madly. She felt rather uneasy but hurriedly cooled herself down. Without changing the expression on her face, she asked, "Mubai, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing. I'm just worried that something happened to you."
Yuan Shuangrui tried hard to smile and said, "I'm fine. When you were gone, I was so anxious. I came out to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Then, a cat scared me."
Han Mubai's expression was distant, and he didn't say much. He merely answered calmly, "Okay. Let's go back and try on more gowns?"
Yuan Shuangrui was dazed and nodded. "Okay."
As Yuan Shuangrui walked into the store, Han Mubai noticed the dust on her gown.
The look on his face changed as his gaze was locked onto her gown. His lips were pursed.
While she tried on the gowns, Yuan Shuangrui couldn't focus at all. On the other hand, Han Mubai was attentive and continuously gave his comments on the gowns.
Even though Yuan Shuangrui wanted to hurry and select a gown so that she could leave this place, she couldn't say it out loud. After all, she had to wear a gown that would impress Han Mubai.
Although Han Mubai appeared to be looking at the gowns, he was observing Yuan Shuangrui's expressions and actions. After closely examining her for an hour, he finally understood.

Tian Xiaojuan asked Yun Bixue, "Bixue, that's odd. Why would Young Master Han choose the gowns with Yuan Shuangrui so calmly?"
Yun Bixue shook her head and answered, "I think
