Chapter 407: Sister Apologizes to You
For Mu Yiliang, it seemed as if life had suddenly returned to the past, as if she had neither been pregnant nor miscarried... The three of them lived well together all along, with nothing unpleasant ever happening.
The two men in the family never mentioned the child that had never been meant for her. When Xiaoze spoke to her, he also tried every possible way to make her happy, yet always with a degree of caution, as if he was terrified of inadvertently saying something that would upset her.
She felt both touched and saddened.
Yan Sijue indulged her even more, tolerating her without limits. Clearly a man of his word, yet he showed no temper in front of her, as if no matter what she did, he wouldn’t get angry.
But he clung to her more and more tightly, even when listening to subordinates report matters, he had her sit beside him, as if fearing that she might disappear in the blink of an eye.
Everything seemed unchanged, yet many things were different from before. Sometimes, she suddenly felt stifled, hoping they would not be so cautious. She was not that fragile, but whenever she wanted to say something, she swallowed it back unknowingly.
Fortunately, not many days later, Yan Sijue finished dealing with matters over at the Golden Triangle and decided to go meet Su Yan.
Mu Yiliang accompanied him.
Su Yan was arranged in a villa, surrounded by desolation, truly a good place for confinement.
When they walked in, Su Yan was making tea in the living room. She was wearing a pure white cheongsam embroidered with large camellias, with light makeup, kneeling on the floor. Her curves were alluring yet carried a certain untouchable nobility. The once decadent vulgar beauty had suddenly turned into an elegant and intellectual beauty—Mu Yiliang almost stared in a daze.
She had always been curious about Su Yan’s real age, and now, under her light makeup, she finally saw the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and suddenly realized that this woman was no longer young. Yet those fine lines did not make her look old; instead, they added charm to her beauty.
Only when they sat down in front of her did Su Yan raise her head, smile slightly, and say, "Young Master Yan, you probably haven’t tasted the tea I’ve made in a long time, have you? Your Old Man loved it, but his own tea-making skills were terrible. I was favored by him back then, all thanks to this good tea-making skill."
In the past, when the Old Man privately summoned his children or grandchildren for a talk, he would also have Su Yan make tea on the side.
Yan Sijue smiled slightly, "If you miss the Old Man, I can arrange for you to see him."
Su Yan chuckled and handed a cup of tea to Mu Yiliang, "Little Yiliang, the other day I scared you, sister apologizes. Please believe me, even if I had killed all the men present, I wouldn’t have harmed a hair on your head."
Mu Yiliang silently took the teacup, not daring to respond, fearing Yan Sijue would suspect her sexual orientation.
"Mr. Yan, thank you for your hospitality these past few days." She handed another cup to Yan Sijue.
The man did not take it, but spoke coldly, "I didn’t come to relive the past. So, will you cooperate with me or not?"
Su Yan put down the cup, sighed, and a trace of worry gathered between her brows, "Can I say no, Mr. Yan? Now you hold the knife and I am the fish, if I don’t cooperate, the outcome may be terrible. But I also know that even if I choose to cooperate with you, the end won’t be much better."
