Chapter 638 His Name is a Key
In an instant, Mu Yiliang’s heart was filled with complex emotions; it was indescribable.
Why is it...
Yan Sijue...
She silently recited this name in her heart, as if it were a key that could unlock all mysteries.
But she gained nothing; in her memory, this name was a complete blank.
Mu Yiliang suddenly felt a sense of empty bewilderment.
At this moment, the troubled youth Gu Qingqian finally took the initiative to raise his glass: "President Yan, I toast to you."
Yan Sijue glanced up at him, raised his glass too, and sipped lightly at the rim.
Gu Qingqian put down his glass and suddenly smiled, "Dad, what do you think of Yiliang? Would you be happy if she became your daughter-in-law?"
Mu Yiliang was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief! What is this? What is this immature boy up to now!
Upon hearing his words, Yan Sijue instinctively tightened his grip on the glass.
Gu Benhong was also a bit baffled and a bit annoyed at Gu Qingqian’s lack of discretion. But he wouldn’t reprimand his son openly, so he laughed it off, saying, "As long as you like her, that’s what matters. You young people, I can’t manage you!"
Gu Qingqian chuckled and said meaningfully, "As long as you’re happy."
His gaze seemed to fall intentionally or unintentionally on Yan Sijue.
From the moment Yiliang walked in, this man’s attention was on her, Gu Qingqian was a hundred percent sure!
He didn’t expect this man to be interested in Yiliang! Moreover, they didn’t look like they were meeting for the first time! Something must have happened without his knowledge!
Gu Qingqian was nearly involuntarily flustered.
Although he feigned disdain, he knew he currently couldn’t compete with this man in any aspect, except he spent every day with Mu Yiliang. If Yan Sijue took the initiative...he would never allow it!
So, even though it was somewhat mean to act this way, the intense sense of crisis made him do it instinctively.
In any case, declare ownership first!
Mu Yiliang had no chance to refute and didn’t know what this troubled youth was up to again!
Thinking about it, if she publicly opposed him in such a setting, Gu Qingqian would surely resent her!
So she had to acquiesce.
Both senior officials also laughed, saying things like, "I never thought Qingqian would settle down so early."
For a moment, the atmosphere was lively, except Yan Sijue seemed detached from the excitement.
He suddenly smiled slightly, "Excuse me, I need a moment."
Then he left the booth.
Gu Benhong thought he was going to the bathroom, so he smiled and watched him go.
Mu Yiliang looked down at the red wine in her glass, a strange bitterness in her heart, recalling the man’s somewhat blank smile earlier, she felt as if he was...very sad and sorrowful.
Seemingly without a reason.
Mu Yiliang waited for two more minutes, but Yan Sijue did not return.
Gu Benhong was taking this opportunity to scold Gu Qingqian, and the two senior officials were conversing in low voices, Mu Yiliang thought for a moment, then stood up decisively without even a word and left the booth too.
Gu Qingqian caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye and instinctively wanted to stop her, but was sternly reprimanded by Gu Benhong.
To ensure guests’ safety, the restaurant only hosted one table of guests at a time. The corridor was very quiet, with only a few scattered staff members in sight.
When Mu Yiliang reached the end of the corridor, she immediately spotted Yan Sijue standing against the wall.
