Chapter 402: From Now On, I Am Your Family Member
Qiao Yebai smiled confidently, "Don’t worry, I won’t give you that chance."
Some lessons only need to be learned once, and Qiao Yebai has never been a fool.
"That’s for the best." After Yan Sijue finished speaking, he pushed the door open, walked in, and held a certain sad woman in his arms.
Mu Yiliang began to cry softly in his embrace.
Since childhood, she had always lacked familial love, her father’s indifference, her mother’s resentment, both had made her sad and confused. Although her grandfather treated her well, he was obsessed with his academic pursuits, and the family affection he could offer was also limited.
The appearance of Qiao Yebai once made her ecstatic, so she repeatedly overlooked those peculiarities, convincing herself he truly was her brother, genuinely cared for her. But from the beginning, he had ulterior motives. No, actually, she didn’t mind about that, although Qiao Yebai spoke as he did, he hadn’t brought her any harm, instead, he was implicated by her.
Nevertheless, he chose to sever ties with her so she wouldn’t worry about him. She finally received her brother’s love, but in such a resolute way!
How could she not be heartbroken!
"Yiliang, you still have me." Yan Sijue said with distress, kissing her forehead, "Stop crying, from now on, I’ll be your family."
Her tears flowed more fiercely!
"Actually, he never really hurt me..." she said while sobbing, "instead, I’ve been bothering him... He doesn’t want to be my brother, he must despise me, right?"
Yan Sijue held her tightly, comforting her repeatedly, "How could that be? He did this because he doesn’t want to see you get hurt, because he cares about you!"
Mu Yiliang felt her heart ache, curling up tightly, clinging to him; at this moment, only the man in front of her could provide solace.
"It’s okay now, let’s go home." He said softly in her ear, carrying a soothing power.
************
Xiao Qi and Jason were at the airport seeing her off.
Mu Yiliang hugged them, recalling their carefree days on campus, and the later experiences of dealing with various bigwigs, feeling a wave of emotion.
Perhaps those days would never return.
Jason gently patted her back, under Yan Sijue’s murderous gaze, "Mu, you must be happy."
"I will." She said softly, feeling a sense of relief.
She knew Jason had finally let go.
She hugged Xiao Qi again, whispering in her ear, "Xiao Qi, keep going strong."
"Don’t worry." Xiao Qi seemed a little choked up, pushing her away and shouting to Yan Sijue in a disguising manner, "I’ll often come to disturb your house!"
Yan Sijue smiled slightly, "You’re welcome anytime."
Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but look toward the entrance but never saw the person she wanted to wait for, feeling inexplicably lost.
"Mu, Qiao Yebai has already returned to City X." Jason seemed to know who she was waiting for, speaking softly, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him for you."
Mu Yiliang shook her head lightly, "Jason, please don’t think about me anymore, just do what you want to do."
He was taken aback for a moment, and finally gave a helpless smile, "Alright."
He seemed to have gotten used to solving her troubles.
Mu Yiliang glanced at the man beside her, "Let’s go," she said softly.
Yan Sijue clasped her hands, about to leave with her, when suddenly a loud voice called out, "Wait a minute!"
