Chapter 700: The Past That Cannot Be Undertaken (4)
I don’t know how long it had been, but her mood finally calmed down a bit, and the phone on the countertop suddenly rang.
She took a deep breath and answered it, her voice thick with sniffles as she said, "Hello."
There was no response from the other side, just the sound of restrained breathing.
Mu Yiliang was startled for a moment, suddenly realizing who was calling.
Her heart was once again pierced with pain.
It felt like another century had passed before his indifferent voice finally came through: "If it’s inconvenient for you these few days, I can take Xiaoze over first, and bring him back once he’s completely recovered."
Mu Yiliang’s anger surged from the depths of her heart!
Was he calling her just because of Xiaoze?
"That’s not necessary." She refused firmly, "I can take good care of him!"
The man’s breathing seemed to grow heavier.
"...Alright." It was a long time before he lowly uttered a word.
Mu Yiliang felt even worse, so much so that she could hardly breathe.
"Please don’t appear in front of me, can you? I know you can do that!" She said emotionlessly, "I don’t want to see you."
Yes, that’s right, she didn’t want to see him from the very beginning.
How dare he disrupt her peaceful life, how dare he!
Her tone was extremely cold, yet the pain in her heart grew, making her want to burst into bitter tears!
I don’t know how long it took, but the man finally spoke again, his voice so faint it could be blown away by a breeze.
"Okay." He paused, his voice extremely hoarse, "I promise you."
Mu Yiliang finally couldn’t hold back, and the phone slipped from her hand and crashed to the ground!
Tears fell once again in a torrent!
Afraid that Xiaoze might notice, she didn’t dare to cry out loud, just sobbed quietly, as if she had been greatly wronged, crying uncontrollably!
Why did he promise her that... it wasn’t from her heart, no, she just didn’t know what to do, she just hated him for putting her in this situation!
But she didn’t want to not see him, never, never...
She squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and crying for a long time before gradually stopping. Suddenly, there seemed to be some movement in the living room.
It seemed like someone was talking.
Was it Xiaoze?
She hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up, ready to go out, when suddenly the kitchen door was pushed open from the outside!
Yan Sijue appeared in front of her without any warning!
His lips were tight, his face pale without a trace of blood, yet his eyes were becoming deeper and darker.
Mu Yiliang was almost in a panic, turning her face away as if she didn’t want him to see her tear-stained face, saying fiercely, "Didn’t you just promise me..."
The next second, the man stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace with force!
Mu Yiliang was completely stunned.
"...It’s been seventeen minutes since I called you, and you’ve been crying the whole time." His voice was extremely hoarse, "...Is it because of me?"
All the way he had kept the phone by his ear, listening to her stifled sobs, feeling as if his heart was breaking!
Why was she so sad and upset... the answer was almost within reach! But he dared not think further, only wanting to reach her as quickly as possible, so he could hold her in his arms!
Mu Yiliang stared blankly at the phone on the ground, clearly it had long since slipped from her hand, yet it remained in a call state the entire time, so... he heard everything through the phone?
She suddenly blushed!
