Chapter 493: Inseparable
Chapter 493: Inseparable
Fortunately, Yan Sijue didn’t stay long. After saying a few words to Lan Yueru, seeing that her spirits had lifted a bit, he finally left at ease.
Not long after he and Mu Yiliang left, Xin also said goodbye to Lan Yueru.
But no matter what, Lan Yueru refused to let go of her hand.
Xin was a bit helpless, but still coaxed patiently: "Aunt Lan, don’t be scared. I’ll come back to see you in a couple of days."
Lan Yueru turned a deaf ear.
"Alright, then I won’t leave for now. But can you let go of my hand first? I’ll go get you a piece of clothing." Xin coaxed softly.
Lan Yueru’s eyes suddenly moved, and for the first time, there was focus in her gaze.
She stared blankly at Xin.
Xin’s heart skipped a beat! Vaguely realizing something, the next moment, she heard Lan Yueru’s hoarse voice!
"Xin..."

On the road back, Mu Yiliang suddenly remembered something.
"Si Jue." Her tone was somewhat hesitant, "Back when Nie Qing planned to kidnap me, it took a long time... Did Mu Zheng and Mei Suqin know about it?"
No matter what, the two were her nominal parents. Mu Yiliang could accept their neglect, even disgust, but if they had conspired with others to harm her, then she absolutely could not tolerate it.
Yan Sijue squeezed her hand tightly and shook his head gently: "Those two didn’t know, they were just used."
Mu Yiliang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then that’s good."
"Yiliang." The man’s tone suddenly became solemn, "From now on, except for Mr. Mu, don’t respond to any other Mu Family members trying to contact you."
"Including Mu Ning?"
"Including Mu Ning!" Yan Sijue’s voice was slightly hoarse, "I know I shouldn’t ask this of you. But you know well enough how they treated you, do you want them to be used again and again to turn around and hurt you?"
Mu Yiliang’s expression was somewhat desolate, she leaned into his embrace: "I’m sorry... It’s not that I don’t know how they treat me, it’s just that sometimes I can’t help but wonder to what extent they can be heartless... But now I’ve made peace with it, I’m not Mei Suqin’s biological daughter after all, she has every reason not to like me. From now on, she can’t use her maternal relationship as an excuse to ask me to do anything."
The man gently stroked her hair.
"I won’t care about them anymore. Even if Mu Yixun died in front of me, I wouldn’t be swayed!" She hugged the man’s waist tightly, "Si Jue, I’m sorry... Don’t be scared anymore."
Back in City A these few days, Mu Yiliang clearly noticed the change in the man beside her.
He seemed to be in a state of extreme tension every minute and every second, only when she was constantly in his sight could he be reassured.
The newly developed system had just been released and was at its most critical stage. He was obviously very busy, yet he hadn’t gone to the company even once, staying by her side almost the entire time.
Occasionally, when he went to the study to handle official business, he needed Mu Yiliang to accompany him to feel at ease. Even if she went out to get a cup of coffee and didn’t return in over a minute, he would immediately chase after her, only relaxing once he saw her figure.
It was only then that Mu Yiliang realized, this time when something happened to her, even though he seemed calm on the surface, the panic and worry hadn’t diminished at all, but were instead deeply suppressed within him!
Mu Yiliang felt extremely uncomfortable...
She knew that time after time, it had left him with a huge shadow, to the extent that he had to see her at all times to feel at ease!
