Chapter 780 She Crossed My Bottom Line
Yan Sijue paused, then smiled wryly.
He wiped her tears while laughing, "You rarely get so sentimental."
She burst into laughter through her tears, "Are you saying I’ve always been careless?"
"Isn’t that right?" His gaze grew more tender, "But, I like you being carefree."
"I’m not talking to you anymore." She climbed off him and ran towards the beach.
The sun had set.
The evening glow dyed the sky and sea red, Yan Sijue watched her slender back as she ran, somewhat absentminded, and gradually, the curve of his lips took on a hint of bitterness.
...
The next day, the four of them gathered at the dining table for breakfast.
The atmosphere was very warm. Lan Yueru was taking care of Xiaoze the whole time, and Mu Yiliang saw the man across from her not eating much, so she handed him some toast.
Only then did he take it and began to eat elegantly.
He would only eat if she gave it to him... Mu Yiliang gave him a reproachful look, he caught her gaze, the amusement in his eyes growing gentler.
Mu Yiliang decided to ignore him and lowered her head to eat breakfast.
Not long after, Yang Ru approached, whispered something beside Yan Sijue.
Yan Sijue’s expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Bring her in."
Before long, a figure walked into the dining room.
Lan Yueru looked up and her face changed dramatically when she saw who it was, "Xin?"
The newcomer was indeed Xin, who stood before them escorted by bodyguards, her face showing no expression.
Mu Yiliang’s heart slightly tightened!
This woman!
Yan Sijue spoke calmly, "Mom, this time, don’t plead for her."
Lan Yueru’s face changed dramatically, she pleaded, "Si Jue, what exactly did Xin do to make you treat her like this?"
"Mom, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her." He turned and gave Xin a cold glance, "But for the next few days, she can’t go anywhere."
"...What?" Lan Yueru was confused.
"After the wedding between Yiliang and me is over, I’ll let her go. Letting her out now, who knows what she might do, and our wedding can’t afford any mistakes," Yan Sijue said calmly.
"Even if you want Xin at the wedding, there’s no need to be so rough." Lan Yueru said reluctantly, "Si Jue, for my sake..."
"Mom, don’t say anymore." Yan Sijue’s expression was icy, "I’ve been holding back because of you, because she once saved you, but this time, she crossed my line!"
Lan Yueru opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly. She looked at Xin, her eyes filled with helplessness and apology.
She knew her son; his attitude being so firm indicated that Xin indeed did something wrong, but to her, Xin was almost like a daughter, and it pained her to see Xin treated like a prisoner.
Xin had not spoken a word from beginning to end; her gaze remained fixed on Mu Yiliang.
Except for a glance at Xin at the beginning, Mu Yiliang kept her head down peeling an egg and placed it in Xiaoze’s bowl, talking to him quietly.
A strange feeling arose in Xin’s heart.
At that time, she hadn’t left but stealthily sneaked into Gu Qingqian’s bedroom after the bodyguard took Mu Yiliang away, finding traces of tampering on the equipment.
At that time, the room only had Mu Yiliang. Who else would have operated that equipment?
