Chapter 737: Why Won’t He Take Another Look at Her
Because she knew in her heart that from a long time ago, her expectations of this man were no longer pure.
She watched him elevate FIS to its current heights in just a year. She saw everyone discussing this man’s genius and legend. She had no choice but to watch herself fall in love with him helplessly.
She longed to be part of his life, to be the one who stayed by his side, creating more miracles with him. But this man despised her from the very beginning.
He was truly ruthless to her, so ruthless that he never gave her a shred of hope!
Why insist on being so stubborn! What is so good about Mu Yiliang that he is willing to give up everything and desperately try to win her back?
Why... does he never spare her a glance...
The man’s figure disappeared from her sight.
Xin stared blankly, her eyes seemingly misting over.
She blinked, desperately holding back her tears.
Footsteps approached from behind, along with a sigh.
Xin turned around nonchalantly, "Aunt Lan, I should be leaving."
Lan Yueru looked at her with concern, "Xin, don’t do anything foolish. If you really anger him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you..."
"I know." Xin’s smile was a bit peculiar, "I know where his boundaries are."

It was a long time before Mu Yiliang returned to Gu Qingqian’s hospital room.
He looked up at her, with deep hesitation in his eyes.
"I went back to see Xiaoze," Mu Yiliang explained lightly, "I haven’t seen him for several days."
Xiaoze had been staying with Xiao Qi and Jason these past few days.
Gu Qingqian moved his lips, "I wasn’t..."
"I won’t take the initiative to meet him recently, don’t worry," Mu Yiliang said softly, looking down, and started peeling an apple she grabbed from the side.
Gu Qingqian suddenly felt a pang in his heart!
Indeed, he had suspected she might take the chance to meet Yan Sijue again. However, upon receiving her assurance, he found he could not be happy at all, and instead felt even more pain.
This was the outcome he had hoped for, but Gu Qingqian knew he had pushed her even further away.
Even though she wouldn’t be with Yan Sijue for the time being, the likelihood of her choosing him became even more remote.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a bitterness in his mouth.
Is this... really what he wanted?
Mu Yiliang handed the peeled apple to him.
Gu Qingqian silently took it, and suddenly said, "You didn’t rest well yesterday, did you? Go home tonight. It would be more convenient if Dad stays with me."
Mu Yiliang looked at him in surprise.
"...I really don’t want you to hate me," his voice was somewhat weak, "Yiliang, I really didn’t do it on purpose."
At that time, he was in utter despair, not deliberately trying to make her feel guilty; he thought he was going to die.
Mu Yiliang looked at his thin cheeks, suddenly not knowing what to feel in her heart.
After all, he was naive, so naive that it’s hard to blame him.
"I don’t hate you," she said softly, "just don’t do anything foolish again."
He shook his head with a bitter smile, "I won’t, don’t worry."
...
Mu Yiliang held a lunch box, lingering outside Yan Sijue’s hospital room for a while.
She hesitated whether to go in directly until she saw a nurse pass by, she reached out to stop her, asking her for help to send the lunch box in.
But the nurse said cautiously, "Mr. Yan stayed here before... but he was discharged yesterday."
Mu Yiliang’s fingers tightened!
So he was no longer here...
She didn’t even know if his wound had healed... She had even promised to change his dressing.
She suddenly felt an immense pain in her heart.
