Chapter 413: I’ll Be With You No Matter How Long It Takes
"Did I wake you?" Mu Yiliang bent down and kissed his cheek. "It’s about time to get up. How about mommy makes breakfast for you today?"
He woke up immediately, his eyes wide open: "What on earth happened? Mommy, don’t act on impulse!"
Mu Yiliang angrily flicked his forehead: "What are you talking about! I just want to make breakfast for you myself. Is that not allowed?"
Xiaoze still looked doubtful: "Really, is that all? No other reason?"
"Really..." Mu Yiliang sighed, hugging her son. "These days, you’ve been afraid I’d be sad and kept trying to cheer me up... Mommy knows. But from now on, you don’t have to be so cautious. Just say or ask whatever you want, mommy isn’t that fragile."
Xiaoze nodded blankly, and after a long time, he hesitantly asked, "Then... I’ll never have a sister, right?"
Mu Yiliang’s heart ached a little. She stroked his head and said, "Not necessarily. The doctor didn’t give me a death sentence... Besides, even if I can’t give birth to a sister for you, we can adopt a little girl when the time comes! I know you like little girls! Just don’t grow into a playboy in the future..."
At the end, Mu Yiliang felt a bit anxious.
Xiaoze’s face darkened: "Mommy, what nonsense are you talking about! I just think it’s a bit boring being alone while you and dad are glued together every day... Hmph, adopted children are definitely silly. Only kids born by you could be as smart as I am."
Mu Yiliang was speechless: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, then..."
"Of course, since I’m so smart, I must have inherited it from you!" Xiaoze threw off the blanket and started dressing. "Alright, mommy, go make breakfast. I’m hungry!"
Mu Yiliang chuckled and snatched the clothes from his hands: "No rush... Here, let me dress you!"
"No... I’ll do it myself!"
"Don’t be shy, don’t be shy!" Mu Yiliang draped his jacket over his shoulders, covering his face.
"..."
After speaking with her son, Mu Yiliang felt like a heavy burden had finally lifted, even though there was still a bigger one... It’s fine, she’ll take it slow and eventually let go.
After breakfast, she went to Yan Sijue’s study. At that moment, Yan Sijue was contemplating in front of the computer screen, his brows slightly furrowed, his side profile calm, possessing a different kind of charm.
As soon as she walked in, the man sensed her presence. He looked up and, seeing it was her, immediately smiled and reached out his hand: "Come here."
"Mm..." Mu Yiliang walked over and slowly hugged his waist. "I talked with Xiaoze, and he seems much more relaxed now... I’ll also slowly let go, Sijue."
"Okay." Yan Sijue replied softly, "Yiliang, you’ve done very well."
"Just give me a little more time..." As she spoke, she felt a bit of a sting in her nose. "It won’t take too long."
"It’s alright. No matter how long it takes, I’ll be here with you." Yan Sijue’s tone was determined, tightening his arms to hold her closer.
He knew she would never forget Ye Moran, but it was truly okay. Over time, he would make that name’s imprint in her heart fade until it became an insignificant memory, one that wouldn’t stir even the slightest ripple when recalled.
Ultimately, this woman belonged to him, and he had all the time and patience in the world!
