Chapter 675: Kept in the Dark
"Maybe this rich guy is trying to win someone’s heart?" Xiaoze said, pretending to ponder.
Mu Yiliang yanked the internet cable out with a snap.
"I think you should eat! If you keep playing, I’ll cut off the internet at home and see what you do then!"
Xiaoze didn’t take it seriously at all, "...Then I’ll just steal the WiFi from next door, is something like that supposed to trouble me?"
Mu Yiliang gave a sinister smile.
Feeling a chill down his spine, he hurriedly put the computer aside and obediently took the breakfast to eat.
"By the way, what are you having for lunch and dinner?" Mu Yiliang just remembered this crucial question.
"It’s fine, isn’t Doctor Zheng living next door? He’s also quite a good cook! He’ll come over to make lunch for me." Xiaoze waved his hand dismissively.
Thoughtful indeed.
Mu Yiliang became more certain that this kid must be Yan Sijue’s biological son; otherwise, how could he accept Yan Sijue’s kindness without any qualms?
Thinking about how she had been kept in the dark for a year... she gritted her teeth.
One day, she will figure everything out!
Mu Yiliang arrived at the company just before nine.
"...Yiliang, is Xiaoze okay?" Ms. Zhao asked as soon as she saw her.
"A bit of a fracture, he’ll be fine after some time to heal." Mu Yiliang smiled lightly, "The kid’s been a bit naughty lately, it’s good for him to learn a lesson."
Ms. Zhao gasped in concern!
"Then why are you at the company? Doesn’t Xiaoze need someone to take care of him?"
"It’s okay, I have a friend looking after him at home. I’ve just started this position, and there’s so much I haven’t grasped yet, taking leave would just delay things." She was, after all, a career-driven woman!
Ms. Zhao thought it over, "Then I’ll go home with you tonight to check on Xiaoze."
Just as she said this, she shifted the topic, "Did you see last night’s river view? I saw it while walking with my daughter, and it amazed me! My daughter was screaming, insisting that it must be a proposal or confession. Seriously, it must have cost a fortune."
She shook her head with a smile.
Mu Yiliang gave a couple of awkward chuckles, "I don’t know, I was at the hospital taking care of my son..."
After saying this, she felt really guilty and quickly returned to her office.
But in her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the stunning scene from last night and ... the man’s deep and gentle gaze.
Her cheeks seemed to warm up again... she frustratingly covered her face! Why is it that even at her age, she still blushes so easily! It’s maddening!
Once she managed to calm her emotions, Mu Yiliang finally immersed herself in work.
In the evening, when most of the work was done, she thought of the mother and son who bullied Xiaoze yesterday and flashed a murderous smile.
Mayor Zhou, was it? Not for much longer!
...
As soon as it was time to get off work, Mu Yiliang hurriedly left the company.
Even though Doctor Zheng was next door, she still couldn’t be at ease, knowing how picky her son was.
After finally getting home, Mu Yiliang opened the door and saw her son sitting in the living room watching TV, with the sound of water coming from the kitchen.
"Is Doctor Zheng helping with cooking?" Mu Yiliang put down her bag and asked her son.
Xiaoze’s expression was a bit peculiar; he murmured, "More or less..."
Mu Yiliang frowned, and just at that moment, a man walked out from the kitchen, his sleeves rolled up to reveal strong forearms, and his excessively handsome face gave Mu Yiliang a sudden feeling of being awestruck.
