Chapter 698: The Past That Cannot Be Undertaken (2)
"Hmph... what are you pretending for!" Gu Qingyuan, after being rejected, became furious out of humiliation. "Isn’t it just because of that sucker Gu Qingqian that you got to your position? Now, I am the first in line to the Gu family inheritance; what does he think he is?"
While everyone’s attention was on Yan Sijue, Gu Qingyuan, though not daring to speak loudly, was not at all polite in his words!
Mu Yiliang turned to leave, but he suddenly blocked her way!
"What do you want?" Mu Yiliang said coldly.
"Call me tonight..." He frivolously slipped a business card into her collar. "Otherwise, I’m afraid your position as manager won’t be stable."
Mu Yiliang was trembling with rage!
She quickly took the business card out of her collar and threw it aside, feeling as if the skin that came into contact with the card was vaguely uncomfortable, as if it was contaminated with something dirty.
Gu Qingyuan was instantly furious!
He grabbed Mu Yiliang’s wrists with one hand, freeing the other to reach for her face. Mu Yiliang could not avoid it, and just as that hand was about to touch her face, Gu Qingyuan suddenly let out a scream like a stuck pig!
The hand he stretched out was being held by someone, followed by a "creak, creak" sound as if his bones were being crushed!
Mu Yiliang calmed down and, following Gu Qingyuan’s wrist, saw a man’s well-defined hand. As she slightly raised her head, the man’s noble and indifferent face appeared before her.
His eyes were surging with dark currents!
"President Yan... President Yan, I was wrong! Ah—!" Fear flooded Gu Qingyuan’s eyes as his whole body shook with pain.
Yan Sijue finally released him and said blandly, "Never appear before me again, otherwise..."
Gu Qingyuan didn’t dare utter a plea, nodded with a twisted face, and quickly left the office.
The entire office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Yan Sijue still wore no expression, only that his gaze became increasingly intense and profound as he looked at her.
Mu Yiliang stared blankly at the man’s face so close to her. She felt she should say something, but given their current relationship... anything she said seemed inappropriate.
At that moment, the door behind Mu Yiliang opened, leading to her private office.
Xiaoze, leaning on a crutch, came out, looking somewhat puzzled to see the two standing right in front of him.
"Daddy, Mommy? You..."
Mu Yiliang’s heart shot into her throat!
Did this kid accidentally expose something?
Then, she heard all the colleagues in the office gasp in shock!
Xiaoze blinked innocently.
Yan Sijue, seeing his son, finally revealed a trace of a smile. He glanced at Xiaoze’s still-casted leg and asked, "Why are you wandering around when it’s not healed yet?"
"I’m bored staying home alone..."
Yan Sijue pondered for a moment: "Let’s go, I’ll take you out, don’t disturb your mommy’s work."
Xiaoze looked at Mu Yiliang shyly and asked, "Mommy, is it okay?"
For a moment, Mu Yiliang almost thought the kid did it on purpose!
But given the situation... she could only nod helplessly: "Before I get off work, you have to be home."
This sentence was directed at Yan Sijue.
The man clearly heard it but made no response, bent down, picked up his son, and walked out. Several executives followed as if awoken from a dream.
Mu Yiliang turned around and saw everyone’s shocked gazes, so she had to say helplessly: "...Don’t spread this, or I won’t help you if someone retaliates."
