Chapter 745: Go Find Him
"You are all working hard here, how could I sleep in peace?" Mu Yiliang smiled as she placed the thermal container on the table, "Take a break and have something to eat."
Everyone looked over eagerly.
Mu Yiliang personally served soup to each of them, and the last one was Gu Qingqian.
Xiao Liu glanced over and suddenly exclaimed, "Sister Yiliang, that’s not fair! I only have broth, and Mr. Gu has ribs in his bowl!"
"I just got broth too..." Feng murmured quietly.
Mu Yiliang raised an eyebrow, "If you don’t like it, don’t drink it, go buy your own meal!"
"No, no, no, we like it!" Both of them quickly clutched their bowls tightly.
Their concern and protection for each other are just... And yet they’re not together! They all couldn’t understand!
Gu Qingqian smiled at her, "Why don’t you have some yourself?"
"No, I’ve eaten at home." Mu Yiliang smiled lightly, "Keep up the good work, I’m heading back now."
Hearing this, Gu Qingqian put down his bowl, "I’ll walk you out."
...
As they reached downstairs, Mu Yiliang turned back, "You should go back, rib soup doesn’t taste good when it’s cold."
Gu Qingqian looked at her quietly.
The moonlight was cool as water, the streetlights dim, his gaze so focused, the atmosphere suddenly felt a bit ambiguous.
Mu Yiliang chuckled, "What’s wrong?"
"Yiliang, are you planning to leave me?" he suddenly asked softly.
Mu Yiliang was momentarily stunned and did not refute.
Indeed, she had conceived this thought. For the past month, Mu Yiliang watched him manage the company’s affairs orderly, saw him become more mature and smooth in handling matters, and couldn’t help but feel that he truly had grown up.
And now the help she could offer him was also quite limited.
"Did I guess right?" Gu Qingqian gave a bitter smile, "That’s why you didn’t want to get too close to the newcomers and did your best to let them handle things."
"Ah Qian..." Mu Yiliang said softly, "I too have things I must do."
"Are you going back to him?" His face turned somewhat pale.
Mu Yiliang pursed her lips, "I don’t know if we can still be together, but I must give him an explanation, it’s something I owe him."
Having just seen Yan Sijue, it made her even more resolute in her decision. She couldn’t let Yan Sijue wait indefinitely.
"Actually, I always knew this day would come, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon." Gu Qingqian gave a hoarse laugh, "Because the company has set on the right track, is that it? Even I find it surprisingly smooth, so you feel like you’ve accomplished your mission and can step back."
"I must go back to him, but I can also stay at the company." Mu Yiliang said softly, "As long as you don’t mind."
Gu Qingqian pressed his lips together, not speaking for a long time.
How could he not mind? Just thinking about her being with that man, especially in front of him, made his heart feel like it was being gnawed by countless insects, the pain was unbearable.
But if she left the company, wouldn’t it mean he’d find it hard to see her again?
The current him, he could no longer use himself as a threat to her. He wouldn’t do such a foolish thing again. The company was already on track and carried the expectations and dreams of others, he couldn’t act recklessly.
She was surely very aware of this as well.
"Ah Qian..."
Seeing him remain silent, Mu Yiliang could only give a bitter smile.
"Go back to him." Gu Qingqian heard his own voice sounding so difficult.
