Chapter 744: Unconditional Support
Only at this moment did she realize how much she missed him!
"...Sijue." She spoke softly, her voice tinged with a certain lingering sweetness.
The man slowly walked over to her and finally stood still in front of her.
He reached out and gently caressed her cheek, his fingertips trembling slightly.
His gaze was as dark and profound as ever, as if it wanted to engulf her whole. Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but hold his hand.
After not seeing him for a month, he seemed to have lost weight again.
"I originally just wanted to secretly take a look at you, but..." He smiled gently, his expression tender to the extreme, "I couldn’t resist wanting to hear your voice."
Mu Yiliang felt a haze seem to cloud her vision. She blinked and tried to smile, "Have you... been very busy lately?"
Over the past month, he hadn’t even come to see Xiaoze. Their son had complained many times.
"Mm..." His voice was slightly hoarse, "It’s better now."
Mu Yiliang suddenly didn’t know what to say. She wanted to apologize, to ask for a little more time, but she knew these words meant nothing to him.
Because he would always indulge her, always wait, no matter how long it took.
Mu Yiliang suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Why was he willing to be so tolerant of her? Even though she was so willful, he never had a word of complaint.
It seemed no matter what, as long as it was something she wished to do, he would support her unconditionally.
In the past... were they like this too?
"Where are you going? Should I give you a ride?" Yan Sijue asked softly.
Mu Yiliang shook her head lightly, "It’s very close, I can walk."
The man gazed deeply at her, finally speaking, "Then you should go quickly. I won’t disturb you."
Mu Yiliang knew she should leave, but she couldn’t bring herself to move. If she had known, she might have agreed to let him drive her, so they could spend a little more time together.
"I’ll come to pick up Xiaoze tomorrow." He said with a smile, "Can I join you for lunch?"
"Of course!" Mu Yiliang suddenly became excited, but then she realized she might have been a bit too eager and quickly cleared her throat, "Um... what do you like to eat? I can prepare in advance."
His expression was slightly moved, his voice even more hoarse, "As long as it’s made by you, I love it."
Mu Yiliang felt her cheeks warm. Hugging the thermal container, she mumbled, "...Then I’ll go first, see you tomorrow."
"Alright." He responded softly.
Mu Yiliang slowly turned to leave, but she still glanced back at him from time to time, as if she could still see his gentle, dark eyes.
...
By the time Mu Yiliang arrived at the company, her mood had already calmed. In the lounge, a long conference table took up half the space, where seven or eight people sat discussing something.
Xiao Liu was the first to see Yiliang’s figure and immediately became excited, "Sister Yiliang is here, there’s a midnight snack!"
Gu Qingqian immediately looked up, his face appeared a little haggard, but his spirits seemed fine. As he saw Mu Yiliang, a smile appeared on his face.
He stood up to greet her, his voice carrying a hint of mild reproach, "Why did you come over without sleeping? Didn’t I tell you not to bring midnight snacks?"
The young ones all looked pained. Mr. Gu’s preferential treatment was too obvious, wasn’t it? He didn’t even consider them, but he took every opportunity to care for Sister Yiliang... and now he wanted to deprive them of their only welfare?
