Chapter 348: Being Tormented by Parents Every Day (4)
She thought this man was spending lavishly and sending Housekeeper Li to buy things, but as it turns out... each piece of jewelry had such an extraordinary origin.
"Of course!" He raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I’d present you with those tacky, common brands?"
Everything he prepared for his woman was unique!
Mu Yiliang still felt a bit dazed, "These... you must have prepared them for a long time..."
This entire cabinet of jewelry couldn’t have been collected in just a few years.
The man gave a faint smile, his voice turning hoarse, "Back then, whenever you came to see me, apart from the bracelet on your wrist, you never wore any jewelry."
Yet she was still so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
It was then he began to pay attention, and whenever he found something beautiful and suitable, he’d find a way to acquire it, always thinking there might be a chance to give it to her someday... Later she left, but he had already gotten used to doing it, and over six years, it accumulated to this amount.
Mu Yiliang suddenly felt the weight of this sentiment, making her breathless. It turned out these pieces of jewelry really were collected by him starting six years ago. He had a great eye and knew what kind of jewelry would suit her.
"Yan Sijue..." Her voice choked up a bit, "I love them, thank you..."
The value of the jewelry itself was secondary; what moved her most was his thoughtfulness — for the first time, she realized how much of a jerk she had been to deceive him and leave him back then.
"As long as you like them." Yan Sijue hugged her tightly, his voice suddenly a bit hoarse, "That jade set, when I bought it at the time, you had just rejected me again, remember? At the time, I wondered if I’d ever have the chance to give it to you."
Mu Yiliang felt a pang in her heart.
"Yan Sijue..."
"Hmm?" he responded softly.
"Never again..." She sniffled, "Trust me one more time, I will never deceive you again, nor will I leave you."
His breath suddenly became heavy.
"Alright."
The body in his arms was so warm and real, and all the emotions he had deliberately ignored over the past six years, all these deeply ingrained longings, became clear one by one.
Yan Sijue held her tightly, suddenly feeling that just for this moment, all his waiting was worth it.
Mu Yiliang gazed at the jewelry, pausing on each piece, then suddenly smiled, "I didn’t wear jewelry before because I found it burdensome, but now I think it actually looks quite nice to wear it."
Yan Sijue gave a meaningful smile, "Did you not wear jewelry to make it easier to escape?"
Back then, when she escaped right from under his nose, she was so skillful it showed this wasn’t the first time they’d done such a thing.
Having her old tricks exposed, Mu Yiliang was both annoyed and embarrassed, "Oh, don’t bring up those dark pasts."
She finished with a light cough, "Uh... I think I’m probably okay now..."
Yan Sijue didn’t react for a moment, softly responding with an "Mm."
The next second, he suddenly realized something, his eyes darkening!
Mu Yiliang quickly broke away from his embrace and ran, fearing that he might just take her right there! But thankfully, as soon as she stepped out, she saw her son, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At least wait until the evening... cough cough...
"Mommy..." A crestfallen Xiaoze glanced up at her, weakly asking, "What were you doing in there?"
"Oh..." Mu Yiliang’s eyes darted around, "Your Daddy said he wants to play with you!"
