Chapter 330: Watching the Stars and the Moon Together (2)
Perhaps he had been deeply attracted to her from the very beginning, but he realized it too late. If he had been willing to open his heart to her back then, maybe she wouldn’t have thought about leaving, and there wouldn’t be a six-year gap.
Unfortunately, they were both equally proud by nature and equally reluctant to give in emotionally, so they were destined to endure more hardships and trials.
The fortunate thing is, he never gave up, and she eventually chose to turn back and hold his hand.
"Yiliang." He gently called her name, "You have no idea how amazing you are."
Mu Yiliang grunted in discontent, narcissistically stating, "Of course I know how amazing I am."
"Since that’s the case, what are you worried about?" He looked at her intently, "You should believe that after falling in love with you, I can’t see any other woman."
"Who said I was worried?" Mu Yiliang felt a surge of sweetness, yet continued to put on a tough front.
Yan Sijue chuckled, picked her up, and nestled her in his embrace: "I don’t like making lifelong promises, because a lifetime is too long, but I have the confidence and determination. You should know, how much effort it took for me to win you over. I’m a businessman, and to maximize my benefits, of course, I have to keep you by my side for a lifetime before it’s enough."
Mu Yiliang was speechless; this is Young Master Yan’s idea of sweet talk, it’s really... worthy of critique.
However, it inexplicably gave her a sense of steadiness.
She hooked her arms around his neck, her lips curling into a slight smile.
Actually, what she wanted to say was, her greatest fear was never that he would stop loving her, but that she loved him too much. She had always prided herself on being carefree, but in front of him, she could never be carefree.
Because if one day he didn’t want her anymore, she would be utterly heartbroken. She couldn’t bear to imagine that day.
The atmosphere was just right, Yan Sijue lowered his head and saw her gentle smile, his heart stirred, and he kissed her without hesitation.
But considering her physical condition, he couldn’t do anything more, otherwise tonight would have been such a wonderful night...
Yan Sijue was extremely frustrated!
After the kiss ended, Mu Yiliang was also a bit excited, but she was determined not to let him see it, so she cleared her throat and pretended to be calm as she changed the subject: "What are your plans next..."
Yan Sijue restrained himself and then spoke: "Tomorrow I have to go back to the old house, the Old Man is likely going to remove my name from the family tree in front of all the Yan Family members."
Mu Yiliang thought for a moment: "I’ll go with you."
"No need." He smiled slightly, "Only after I resolve all the enemies can I rest easy letting you and Xiaoze appear in front of everyone. Do you know that being my woman will make people hate you?"
Mu Yiliang thought of Chen Yayan, who seemed to be used by this man as a target, having escaped assassination multiple times. Suddenly, she deeply understood and felt that her life was more important.
"What do you plan to do about Chen Yayan?" She suddenly remembered that woman was still in the hospital.
Yan Sijue glared at her, seemingly annoyed that she disrupted the mood.
"Give her some money to make her leave far away." He said coldly, "I’ve already had Yang Ru announce the cancellation of my engagement with her."
"She deceived you, why aren’t you angry, and still give her severance pay?" Mu Yiliang wrinkled her nose, dissatisfied.
Yan Sijue looked at her: "How can that be worth anything? I didn’t care about her, and she didn’t deceive me. She’s just a woman, why would I bother with her?"
Mu Yiliang suddenly remembered something, asking seriously: "Honestly, how many women have you had these past few years?"
