Chapter 551: She Won’t Give Up on Her Own Initiative
Is leaving really the only way for her?
Mu Yiliang felt a chill throughout her whole body.
In fact, there was one thing she hadn’t dared to tell Lan Yueru. That is, in Yan Sijue’s heart, he acknowledged this too. He believed that he should not be too close to her... So, if they separated, it would actually align with his subconscious understanding... In that case, perhaps he could get better.
Although this process would be filled with pain, it was still better than pushing himself to such an extreme now.
Unknowingly, Mu Yiliang was already in tears, her face covered with them.
Lan Yueru’s eyes were filled with even more compassion: "Lady Mu, I have said all I can... I’m not forcing you, if there were another way, I wouldn’t want to do this either. I know what you mean to Si Jue."
Mu Yiliang let out a bitter laugh and gently wiped the tears from her face.
"Please, don’t say more." She turned to face the kitchen counter, "We should start preparing the ingredients."
They all knew that cooking together was just an excuse, even Yan Sijue knew, but what had to be done still had to be done.
Lan Yueru nodded, turning her head to Xin, "Come, help me out."
Mu Yiliang held a potato in her hand, but didn’t move for a long time, and Lan Yueru didn’t urge her.
So the happy times were so brief.
Mu Yiliang still couldn’t believe it, why she and Yan Sijue suddenly had no path forward. Not long ago, she was still wondering when Yan Sijue was planning to propose to her, and in what way. But now, she suddenly found she couldn’t see the future clearly.
But she couldn’t imagine what she would do if she left this man. Surely, she wouldn’t be able to live from distress...
And what about Yan Sijue, who had driven himself to this point because he was unwilling to let go, even childishly refusing to acknowledge the problems in his heart...
Do they really have no choice but to separate?
No, she doesn’t believe it!
Even if there is truly a dead end ahead, she will walk to the day she crashes her head, bleeding! No matter what, she will not willingly give up! She can’t do it!
She bit her lip hard, almost fiercely making up her mind!
Lan Yueru had expertly prepared two dishes.
"These were Si Jue’s favorite when he was young." Her face showed a nostalgic look, "At that time, our conditions were very difficult. Most of the time, we could only pick up what others left behind, and it was only occasionally that we had money to exchange for some fresh ingredients. I always made these dishes for him."
Mu Yiliang looked at those two dishes, her heart tightening. She thought, she still hadn’t truly come to understand this man. If she had put her heart into understanding, she should have realized how much her actions could affect him.
"I’m leaving." Lan Yueru smiled, "Xin and I staying here, you wouldn’t really enjoy your meal. Say goodbye to Si Jue for me, I won’t be saying it directly to him."
Mu Yiliang nodded silently, escorting them to the living room, watching them leave.
She didn’t know how much time passed, but then she heard heavy and slow footsteps behind her.
She quickly wiped away her expression, put on a smile, and turned to face him: "The meal is ready, but Aunt Lan said she had something else to do so she left first... Today’s two dishes were made by Aunt Lan."
Yan Sijue looked at her expressionlessly, his dark pupils like a black hole, swallowing any emotion and light, leaving no trace.
Mu Yiliang suddenly felt parched, her heart racing.
"Si Jue?" She involuntarily began to tremble.
