The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!

Chapter 685: Luring the Innocent Girl

Gu Qingqian seemed stunned.

This was the first time she had made such an intimate gesture towards him. Although her hug had more of a calming effect, it was still a hug, right?

However, her self-reference as "big sister" was a bit jarring. Even though Gu Qingqian always knew this woman was a few years older than him, he considered himself far more mature than her. What was a few years’ age difference anyway?

Mu Yiliang gently patted his back, feeling his tense muscles gradually relaxing.

Gu Qingqian suddenly reached out and hugged her back, resting his cheek gently on her shoulder, as if a lost child had finally found his way home.

This guy’s head is a bit heavy... Mu Yiliang dared not move, but couldn’t help internally making a snarky comment.

She felt a damp sensation on her shoulder and froze. Was he crying?

After some time, Gu Qingqian pushed her away and said hoarsely, "I’m leaving. Take good care of yourself!"

"Mm... you too." Mu Yiliang watched his back and decided to speak, "No matter what happens, stay calm, and also, think about your mother... If the relationship can’t be salvaged, try to secure your interests; don’t just hand them over to someone else."

Gu Qingqian paused briefly, uttered a soft "Mm," and then left without looking back.

Mu Yiliang exhaled, turned her head to look at her shoulder, and indeed there was a small wet patch... It seems he really had a lot of anger and sadness pent up.

The morning passed quickly.

By noon, as Mu Yiliang was preparing to go to the staff canteen, a courier-like person knocked on the door: "Is this Manager Mu?"

"That’s me."

Thinking it was her package, Mu Yiliang instinctively grabbed a pen to sign for it, but was surprised when the person flashed a big smile and held out a box: "Here’s your lunch, enjoy!"

Mu Yiliang blankly took it, and the delivery guy had already turned to leave.

Her lunch? She hadn’t ordered any takeout!

Baffled for three seconds, Mu Yiliang suddenly thought of her neighbor... it must be his doing!

Her lips curled up involuntarily. She placed the box on the table, opened it, and was greeted by a bouquet of roses.

She was momentarily stunned, then picked up the bouquet and indeed found a card.

The handwriting was bold and powerful, clearly from someone she knew.

I personally made this lunch, be sure to finish it!

Mu Yiliang bit her lip and smiled, her cheeks slightly flushed. She could almost imagine how the man would say those words.

She placed the roses on the table and took the lunch box out from under the bouquet. It was likely made and delivered immediately, as the food was still warm.

Was the man trying to erode her will with this method? Hmph, she wouldn’t fall for it; it’s just a childish trick.

Mu Yiliang internally criticized, but while eating the lovingly prepared meal, she turned her head to see the vibrant red roses on the table, unable to keep her mood from lifting.

How excessive! How could he seduce a pure-hearted girl like her!

Back then, did this man woo her with such means?

Mu Yiliang found herself unable to imagine it!

The more gentle and devoted Yan Sijue was to her, the more she wanted to know what they were like in the past.

She couldn’t help but care about the reason they parted ways back then and the reason she forgot everything.
