Chapter 378 He Started to Get Greedy
Yan Sijue took a deep breath, his smile tinged with bitterness.
How could he not see it?
During this time, he had noticed her love and attachment for him; he believed that she loved him!
But he didn’t dare to think about how deep this feeling truly was.
He had waited for so long, finally receiving her confession, but it came only after something happened to Qiao Yebai. He couldn’t help but wonder if it was only out of guilt and remorse.
He had always been proud, but with her, he had already abandoned all his defenses, dignity, and pride. Even when he finally heard her promise, he didn’t dare believe or even hope.
Originally, he told himself that as long as she was willing to be with him, he would be satisfied. Now she was by his side.
But Yan Sijue found himself becoming greedy. He wanted to be the most important person to her! He wished he could drive away everyone around her, regardless of gender, so that her eyes would only see him!
Xiao Qi looked at his silent face and tightly pressed lips, sighed, and said, "I hope you understand that Mu isn’t an appendage of yours, and you don’t have the right to make decisions for her. She resisted you because she saw through your character, and I didn’t expect you to remain this way even after all these years. If I hadn’t told her, you probably would never have confessed to her, would you? If you continue like this, one day you’ll lose her."
Yan Sijue’s expression remained unchanged, but his gaze grew deeper!
He clenched his fist tightly and finally spoke hoarsely, "I just don’t want her to get hurt. Is that wrong?"
Xiao Qi was momentarily stunned.
"It’s not wrong..." she laughed bitterly, "I am very happy that you care so much about her safety... but there are always things in this world that you know are dangerous, yet you still have to do them. You should understand Mu’s character. Don’t assume that because she seems carefree and cool, she isn’t... in fact, she is more tender-hearted than anyone else; she would return tenfold for every kindness shown to her... that’s why we all love her, that’s why you fell in love with her... don’t let her live in guilt forever."
Yan Sijue closed his eyes, his jaw trembling slightly.
Xiao Qi finally finished speaking and turned to leave quietly.
She felt she hadn’t done anything wrong, yet deep down, she still felt guilty. After all, if Mu Yiliang got hurt on this trip, she would bear inescapable responsibility.
In that sense, she wasn’t as selfless as Yan Sijue.
The man finally pushed open the door and walked in.
In the room, the curtains had somehow been drawn, and sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The tropical sunlight was incredibly intense, shining on her face as if she were transparent.
Yan Sijue walked over and gently embraced her from behind.
"Si Jue, I’m fine. Just a little airsick..." she explained instinctively.
The man buried his face in her shoulder, taking a deep breath, his voice hoarse, "I’m sorry..."
"Si Jue?"
"I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do." He pressed his lips together and finally uttered, "Ye Moran’s attitude was extremely unyielding, immune to both soft and hard tactics... aside from letting you meet him, there is no other way to make him relent."
Mu Yiliang felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, tightly holding his hand.
"No, this was never your fault, you don’t need to apologize," she said softly, "Since Ye Moran is coming for me, I couldn’t really keep myself out of it."
