Chapter 539: He Imprisons Himself
Mu Yiliang was stunned for a moment. So he knew she wanted to help him.
But with his attitude, how could she possibly believe he was really fine?
"If you’re really fine, why won’t you touch me!" she demanded angrily.
He raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile: "Oh? Am I not satisfying you?"
"Yan Sijue!"
She was about to explode with rage! Her chest hurt from anger!
The man sighed lowly: "Yiliang, those things are already in the past for you, but I can’t act as if they never happened. No one can hurt you, not even myself!"
His eyes were as dark as ink, his deep voice tinged with a hint of coldness.
Mu Yiliang suddenly felt a chill down her spine!
No, no, he can’t think this way! He’s built a cage to imprison himself and he actually thinks he’s fine! If he stays stuck in this mindset, he might never get out!
"You haven’t hurt me!" Mu Yiliang shot up, looking him straight in the eye, "But if you keep being so sad and self-tormenting, I’ll be very upset too. Do you want to see me upset?"
He paused, his smile gentle: "Who said I’m sad and self-tormenting? I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?"
Mu Yiliang looked at his smile, but her heart sank heavily!
The man kissed her cheek: "Sleep well, don’t overthink it... In a few days, I’ll take you out for some fun, okay? Where do you want to go?"
"...Sijue." She felt her throat choke up; there was so much she wanted to say, but she knew deep down that it was useless now.
The key wasn’t that he imprisoned himself, but... he didn’t even think he had a problem!
Yes, he did seem fine most of the time! But he had locked all those crazy emotions away, and if he ever lost control... She was too scared to think further!
She could still find a way, don’t panic... She kept telling herself to smile hard, "Then, I want to go to Tahiti."
"...Okay." He lay down with her in his arms and kissed her earlobe, "Sleep..."
Mu Yiliang leaned against his chest, but the chill in her heart only grew stronger.

The next day, Mu Yiliang eagerly got herself ready and said to Yan Sijue: "Let’s go visit Aunt Lan at the sanatorium!"
Yan Sijue was momentarily taken aback, as if suddenly recalling he hadn’t visited Lan Yueru in a long time.
There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, as if wondering why he’d forgotten this.
"Even if Aunt Lan doesn’t want to see me, I can’t not go," Mu Yiliang emphasized. "It’s a matter of showing regard! She may not want to see me, but I can refrain from appearing before her."
The man came to his senses and finally nodded: "Alright, let’s go together."
Mu Yiliang felt slightly relieved, but she hadn’t missed the confused look in his eyes earlier.
If not even Lan Yueru had crossed his mind these days...
The chill in her heart deepened!
...
At the sanatorium, Mu Yiliang wisely stopped in the hallway, and Yan Sijue seemed a bit hesitant. Xin suddenly appeared and said to him, "Aunt Lan wants to see you."
Yan Sijue was somewhat surprised, looking at Lan Yueru’s figure not far away.
"Wait for me here." He gave Mu Yiliang a slight smile before stepping towards Lan Yueru.
Mu Yiliang watched the man’s back, suddenly speaking up: "You told Aunt Lan, didn’t you?"
Xin didn’t deny it: "I thought it was necessary."
Mu Yiliang gave a bitter smile: "I also think... it was necessary."
