Chapter 398: Can’t Get Enough of You
He had to stand up and quietly pulled Mu Yiliang behind him, saying to Jason, "Qiao Yebai is in the room next door. You should go find him."
Mu Yiliang glanced helplessly at Yan Sijue: "I still have something to say to Jason."
"What’s there to say!" Yan Sijue said with a dark expression.
Jason smiled, "It’s fine, Mu, I’m relieved to see you’re all right. Where’s Xiao Qi? I’ll go find her."
"Why are you looking for me?" Before he had finished speaking, Xiao Qi interjected grumpily as she walked in.
Jason looked her over from head to toe, and seeing that she was unharmed, he nodded in satisfaction.
Xiao Qi kicked him lightly with a sigh, "Okay, you’ve seen everyone, hurry and leave with me! Unless you want to be killed by stares!"
Jason frowned at her, then said to Mu Yiliang, "Mu, take care and rest well, I..." before he could finish, Xiao Qi dragged him away.
Mu Yiliang watched and couldn’t help but laugh.
All of a sudden, Young Master Yan’s eyes lit up, "How about pairing those two together?"
Mu Yiliang raised an eyebrow, "Young Master Yan, why are you suddenly playing matchmaker?"
Yan Sijue snorted, "I’m just concerned about your friends!"
"You don’t want Jason having any ideas about me, right?" Mu Yiliang pointed out his little thoughts.
Young Master Yan dismissed, "Him? He’s not even qualified to be my love rival!"
Mu Yiliang laughed joyfully, hugging him and said, "Si Jue, I’ve found that I’m liking you more and more."
The man was slightly startled, his voice a bit hoarse, "Just liking?"
"Oh, let me rephrase that." She smiled, leaning closer to his ear, "I’ve found that I’m falling more and more in love with you, and becoming more and more unable to be without you."
Yan Sijue hugged her tightly, his breathing a bit rapid. The next second, he leaned down to find her lips and kissed her forcefully!
The words of love he had been waiting for came unexpectedly at this moment. Her tone was shy and joyful, and he believed this time her confession wasn’t out of guilt or as a consolation, but from true feelings.
"Yiliang, I love you too," he said softly, his voice full of tenderness.
Very much, so much so that even he was surprised and a bit scared. So, don’t disappoint him, or he feared he might do something uncontrollable.
A long time later, the man finally let her go, "It seems your brother has something to say to you. Be good here, and we’ll go home in a bit."
"Okay." Mu Yiliang smiled and agreed, though there was some confusion in her eyes.
These days Qiao Yebai hadn’t been coming around much, mostly staying quiet, she was just finding it strange... What did he want to say to her?
Yan Sijue opened the door, exchanged a glance with Qiao Yebai, and then walked out.
Qiao Yebai walked in step by step.
His injuries were much better, and the bandages on his face had been removed, though some bruising remained, it was no longer so alarming. Noticing Mu Yiliang’s puzzled look, he smiled gently.
"These days, I seem to have always forgotten to say I’m sorry to you," he laughed at himself, "Even though all this began because of me, I acted as if nothing happened. Do you find me heartless?"
Mu Yiliang shook her head, "How could I? Ye Moran was originally after me, and it was also because you took me in that he misunderstood. In fact, I’m the one who dragged you into this."
She looked sadly at his still bandaged right hand, "Is it really not possible to recover?"
