The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!

Chapter 489: Truly Not the Slightest Bit Moved?

"Even if you really are my birth mother, it still changes nothing," Mu Yiliang’s voice was somewhat forlorn, "The fact that you abandoned me back then remains. I don’t need you now, and you seem to be doing well without me... so what use is there in saying these things?"

It’s just adding worry for nothing.

If Mu Ning had appeared when she still held hope for familial love and treated her like a mother should, she would’ve been overjoyed.

Then she would know that Mei Suqin’s dislike wasn’t because she wasn’t good enough.

But now it’s too late. She no longer has any expectations for motherly love. Now, with Yan Sijue and Xiaoze, she is already very content.

Mu Ning exhaled another puff of smoke, nodding lightly: "You’re right. After all, you’ve grown so much."

"Yes, I’ve grown so much," Mu Yiliang smiled self-deprecatingly, "You never thought to visit that child, so even if the child doesn’t want you, you wouldn’t feel any loss, right?"

Mu Ning lowered her eyes and stubbed out the cigarette: "I originally thought so too. Remembering this just made me feel it necessary to let you know, so I told you... It seems it would have been better if I hadn’t spoken."

"Yes," Mu Yiliang replied with a hardened heart.

She smiled somewhat bewilderedly: "In that case, I won’t waste more words."

"I have one more question to ask you," Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but speak.

"Hmm?" She raised her eyes.

"Nie Qing is dead, did you really feel nothing?" Mu Yiliang stared into her eyes, "When he was deep in hell, it was you who reached out to him, but then you pushed him deeper into hell... If Nie Qing knew that even if he died, you would still feel nothing, maybe he would have preferred never meeting you."

Mu Ning’s complexion turned slightly pale.

"I helped him once; that doesn’t mean I have to bear his burden for life," she seemed somewhat angry, "Should I meet all his expectations just because I gave him a bite to eat?"

"Of course not," Mu Yiliang laughed bitterly, "But to him, you were his entire hope."

"What’s that got to do with me?"

"So, that child also has nothing to do with you, right?" Mu Yiliang smiled lightly, "You gave birth to her, but that doesn’t mean you’re obligated to take care of her. That’s what you think, so even after ignoring her for twenty years, you don’t feel guilty."

Mu Ning’s voice was very cold: "So what if it is?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm something," Mu Yiliang said softly, "Now you can leave."

Mu Ning’s lips moved, as if she wanted to explain something, but ultimately gave up. She tried to cover it up by attempting to smoke, only to find the cigarette already extinguished.

She was silent for a while, then spoke softly: "Alright."

Then she turned around and left.

The back view was still elegant and charming.

Mu Yiliang sat on the sofa, somewhat exhausted, and suddenly found it amusing.

As a child, she had thought that maybe Mei Suqin wasn’t her mother, and that her mother was someone else, that her real mother wouldn’t treat her like Mei Suqin.

Many years later, it turned out her birth mother really was someone else, yet she was still different from what she had imagined.

Perhaps Mu Ning’s appearance was telling her she shouldn’t hold expectations for anyone, even if this person was theoretically her closest one.

At this moment, everything suddenly went dark.

Yan Sijue picked her up.
