Chapter 663: Because You’re Worth It
"...It’s all my fault," Mu Yiliang murmured, "I naively thought that studying in school would be good for his growth, but I forgot that Xiaoze stands out too much, he can’t make friends with those kids at all, instead, it will only arouse their jealousy..."
She covered her face, her shoulders gently trembling.
"No." The man couldn’t help but hold her in his arms, "It’s not your fault, Yiliang!"
It was his fault, everything was caused by him!
"I’ve been too busy with work, often neglecting him... but he never complains." Mu Yiliang’s tears fell in large drops, "Xiaoze has been sensible since he was young, never worrying me, instead he’s always been taking care of me... This child has hardly ever been sick, but this time he suffered so much... I saw him lying there, blood dripping from his calf, but I couldn’t even manage to take him to the hospital..."
Every time she recalled that scene, her heart couldn’t stop trembling!
Yan Sijue pressed his lips tightly, forcefully closing his eyes!
"Yiliang, listen to me, you didn’t do anything wrong." He laughed hoarsely, "Your intentions were good, he’s still young, he does need to connect with his peers... It wasn’t you who hurt Xiaoze, it was someone else! Please don’t blame yourself, okay?"
She lifted her tearful eyes, looking at the man’s pained and repressed expression, suddenly feeling a sense of disorientation.
He seemed genuinely pained.
In those deep, dark eyes of his, she saw her own reflection, so clearly. He wasn’t looking through her at someone else, it was her, it had always been her.
As if, from the very first meeting, his gaze had been like this, filled with deep restraint and an uncontrollable deep affection...
"Yan Sijue..." she suddenly murmured.
"I’m here." The man gently embraced her, almost unable to resist kissing her eyes, but he held back, "Yiliang, you can trust me. No matter what happens in the future, you can call me, no matter what I’m doing, I won’t miss your call."
At that moment, she chose to turn to him for help, and he was really happy.
"Why... why?" she asked, bewildered and confused, "You said we didn’t know each other before, so why are you so good to someone you’ve only met a few times..."
"Because you are worth it." he whispered softly in her ear, "Everyone praises my unique vision, but what they don’t know is that I’m best at reading people. The first time I saw you, I knew what kind of person you are."
Mu Yiliang was left speechless.
She always felt it wasn’t that simple, but if it wasn’t for this reason, what else could it be?
She had broken ties with her parents, had no power or influence, had some savings but it was insignificant in this man’s eyes, was talented in a way, but surely this man had no shortage of talented people under him.
So if he really had ulterior motives, what could they be? What about her would be worth his efforts?
The most likely reason would be that he was using her as a stand-in... but she faintly knew, it wasn’t like that.
Even if he occasionally seemed absent-minded, his eyes were still on her, not someone else.
She just didn’t believe he would become infatuated with her for no reason, so she came up with this excuse.
"Yiliang." His voice was hoarse and hesitant, as if it was because of nervousness, "Give me a chance, please?"
