Chapter 323: Are You the One Who Saved Me? (1)
Xiaoze angrily glared at him, "Not at all!"
Then he looked pitifully at his parents, "Is that true?"
"Of course not." Yan Sijue chuckled, crouching to hold his son in his arms, "You always wanted to live with Daddy and Mommy, and now it will soon come true. Your uncle was just saying that to keep you and Mommy from moving out."
Xiaoze nodded in agreement, instantly becoming happy again. He clasped his hands together and said to Qiao Yebai, "Uncle, I’m sorry for troubling you and Mommy during this time. Please don’t be angry."
Mu Yiliang also sincerely said, "Brother, I’ll come to visit you as soon as I have time."
Qiao Yebai pursed his lips and glanced at her. Her gratitude and guilt were genuine; she truly saw him as an older brother, but that was the extent of it.
He couldn’t quite describe his feelings but could only give a helpless smile, "Since you’ve made your decision, don’t ever regret it."
"I trust him." Mu Yiliang said softly, these four words without a hint of hesitation.
Yan Sijue was momentarily stunned and couldn’t help but squeeze her hand tightly.
Qiao Yebai found it irritating to watch, holding back his emotions, "Yan Sijue, if you dare do anything to betray her, I won’t let you off."
"I won’t give you the chance," Yan Sijue replied with a slight smile, a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Qiao Yebai returned the provocative look.
Even if Mu Yiliang returned to this man’s side, he still had a chance.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the woman once more, then turned and left.
Xiaoze politely waved to him, "Goodbye, Uncle."
Qiao Yebai waved back as a response.
Mu Yiliang stared at his back, suddenly feeling a pang of sourness in her heart.
For over a month, it was Qiao Yebai who took care of her. If it weren’t for him, she might have died from excessive bleeding.
More than twenty years ago, he had lost his status as the Mu Family’s eldest son because he saved her, forced into hardship. He never blamed her and did his best to care for her after their reunion. How lucky she was.
Yan Sijue saw her look of being moved and unwilling to part, feeling a pang of jealousy, but he didn’t want to appear ungentlemanly, so he awkwardly comforted, "I know you’re very grateful to him. Don’t worry, I will express that gratitude on your behalf."
Mu Yiliang snapped back and smiled as she leaned into his arms, patting her son’s head, "Let’s go home!"
Yan Sijue’s heart softened, and he softly uttered a single word, "Okay."
On the other side, although Ci Jin was unwilling, he was tied up all over, even his mouth gagged, and could only glare angrily at Yan Sijue.
Yan Sijue merely gave him an indifferent glance before looking away, then turned to Chen Yayan lying on the ground, suddenly recalling something.
He approached Chen Yayan, looking down at her, "After I lost consciousness that night, what exactly did you do?"
At this moment, Chen Yayan was in a sorry state, her hair messily covering her face, long gone was her usual gentleness and elegance.
Upon hearing Yan Sijue’s question, she looked at Mu Yiliang with shock.
Si Jue still didn’t know... Did this woman really not say anything?
She actually had such confidence!
Chen Yayan suddenly laughed aloud, realizing that all she had done was only making herself look more ridiculous and pathetic. The matter between that woman and Yan Sijue was truly something outsiders could never meddle in. They never regarded her little schemes with any concern.
