Chapter 741: Longing (3)
Mu Yiliang took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and couldn’t help but curve her lips into a faint smile.
She quickly pressed answer and softly said, "Hello."
"Yiliang." The man’s voice was extremely gentle, like spring water flowing through pine trees, "Yang Ru said you called me, sorry I missed it earlier."
Upon hearing his voice, Mu Yiliang truly felt relieved: "I... it was nothing, just wanted to ask if your wound has healed, and... Xiaoze misses you. If you have time, come and see him."
Mu Yiliang instinctively used her son as a shield.
Yan Sijue chuckled softly: "I’m already fine; no need to worry. I’ll return to S City to see him in a couple of days."
Mu Yiliang responded, "Alright."
She felt like she had so much more to say to him, but in this moment, listening to his incredibly gentle voice, she suddenly couldn’t find the words.
A strong sense of longing enveloped her instantly, and she felt her nose start to tingle.
"Take good care of yourself." His voice was slightly suppressed, "Call me if you need anything."
"Alright, I won’t disturb you then... By the way, take care of yourself too... Goodbye."
After speaking, she hung up the phone and held it tightly in her hand, trying hard to suppress the overwhelming emotions inside her.
After a long time, she finally looked up, only to see Gu Qingqian’s gloomy expression.
She turned her gaze towards the villa in front of her: "Want to go in and take a look?"
"Yiliang." He spoke hoarsely, "You promised not to reconcile with him for now."
"I haven’t reconciled with him." Mu Yiliang bit her lip, "But, he is Xiaoze’s father, I can’t not contact him."
"...It’s all excuses! You still can’t let him go!" Gu Qingqian roared in a low voice.
"That’s right." Mu Yiliang glanced at him, "I really can’t let him go, I think about him all the time! Are you satisfied now?"
Gu Qingqian was instantly speechless, looking desolate.
Mu Yiliang looked at him and said word by word: "Gu Qingqian, I am not your anything, and you have no right to interfere in my private affairs. I promised you not to reconcile with him to take care of your feelings, but I have no obligation to do so."
Gu Qingqian gritted his teeth, seeming to be trembling all over!
After a long time, he spoke hoarsely: "If that’s the case, just go find him then! It’s better than you perfunctorily dealing with me!"
Mu Yiliang seriously considered for a moment: "Is that really what you want? If you think you can handle it alone, I..."
"No way!" Before Mu Yiliang could finish, he interrupted harshly, "You promised to help me, and it’s only been a few days! I won’t allow you to go back to him!"
Gu Qingqian felt like he was practically asking for punishment.
But even so, he couldn’t bear to see her fall into Yan Sijue’s embrace, that scene alone was enough to cause him unbearable pain!
Mu Yiliang was speechless.
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said those things just now." He looked away somewhat embarrassedly, "Please don’t be mad."
His voice sounded somewhat groveling due to the trembling.
"I’m not mad." Mu Yiliang said indifferently, "But I can’t control my own feelings, and if you mind, there’s nothing I can do."
"I don’t mind..." Gu Qingqian felt as if each word was a knife carving into his heart, "But, try not to do it in front of me..."
He couldn’t continue; in that moment, he felt both pathetic and pitiful.
Mu Yiliang paused for a moment, then finally nodded: "Alright."
