Chapter 401 The Real Brother (3)
"No." Mu Yiliang’s smile carried an understanding sadness, "You’re always good at manipulating people, how could you do something so irrational? Even if you’re fully prepared, there’s still a chance of being exposed. At that time, Yan Sijue, I, and Jason wouldn’t let you go, so you wouldn’t do it. The reason you came to recognize me is because you are my brother. You are Mu Yicheng; just no longer the person I expected."
Qiao Yebai clenched his fist, then suddenly smiled, "You think you know me well?"
"Ye Bai, I don’t care what my brother is like, moreover, he’s not as bad as he thinks he is." Mu Yiliang softly said, "You say Mu Yicheng died at fifteen, I believe something happened when you were fifteen that made you completely bid farewell to weakness and innocence, but you are still my brother, no matter how you’ve changed, that won’t change."
Mu Yiliang smiled again, "Moreover, you came over to say all this, doesn’t that mean you can’t bear to see me get implicated because of you? After all, the environment you live in means you’re still very likely to encounter danger in the future. If you were truly cold-blooded, why would you want to distance yourself from me?"
After a long silence, Qiao Yebai exhaled deeply, "You woman, you’ve really had enough."
Mu Yiliang persistently looked at him.
"Whether you believe it or not, I’ve said everything I need to say. Take care of yourself from now on, I won’t contact you again." He coldly lowered his eyes.
"Really? Even if I have any difficulties, I can’t ask you for help anymore? If Yan Sijue bullies me, who else but you can help me?" she murmured.
Qiao Yebai paused: "How could that man bear to bully you? With him around, even if something really happens, it’s not my place to intervene. But if that day ever comes, I’ll help you. After all, this time, you got hurt because of me."
Mu Yiliang gently laughed, "Didn’t you say we’re already even?"
Qiao Yebai’s hand trembled slightly, then he suddenly gave a mocking laugh, "Maybe I just want to do a good deed?"
After saying this, he immediately turned around, as if afraid of something.
Mu Yiliang stared at his back in a daze.
"Take care." she said softly, "Brother."
Qiao Yebai’s silhouette seemed to pause for a moment, but this time, he didn’t look back and continued to stride out.
Outside the room, Yan Sijue stood expressionless, and when he saw Qiao Yebai come out, he gently lifted his gaze.
"Your woman is too smart, she doesn’t believe my story." Qiao Yebai said blandly, "But rest assured, I’ll consciously keep my distance from her from now on."
Yan Sijue suddenly laughed, his expression somewhat peculiar, "Actually, even I almost believed your story, even though I know the words were made up. But you can’t fool her."
Perhaps it’s a woman’s intuition or the power of blood ties, Mu Yiliang never wavered.
Sometimes Yan Sijue really wished she were a bit dumber, not so smart and perceptive, but there’s nothing he could do about it, because this Mu Yiliang is the one he deeply loves.
"Goodbye." Qiao Yebai turned to leave.
"I know you’re unwilling to accept my help, but," Yan Sijue suddenly spoke, "so she won’t worry about you anymore, at a critical moment, I hope you won’t act recklessly."
