Chapter 440: Did Not Expect to Meet You
In the following days, Yan Sijue took Mu Yiliang and their son to have a great time in City X. Before leaving, Mu Yiliang was unwilling to give up and went to intercept Qiao Yebai, but she failed every time. She had no choice but to give up and returned to City A with Yan Sijue somewhat dejectedly.
Seeing her state, Yan Sijue said irritably, "Just a brother you recognized halfway, who was slightly kind to you, and you’re pouring your heart out like this... Mu Yiliang, can you have a bit of self-respect? Were you lacking love since childhood?"
Mu Yiliang lifted her chin, "That’s right, I am lacking love!"
Yan Sijue was taken aback for a moment and then hugged her tightly, "However much love you’re lacking, I will fill it up for you! My love alone is enough for you!"
Mu Yiliang was stunned for a moment, and then softened, "You said it..."
"Yes, I said it." Yan Sijue smiled slightly and lowered his head to kiss her.
Off to the side, Xiaoze calmly ignored the scene; having been subjected to this display often, he was truly used to it...
He also needed to quickly find a girlfriend, hmph!
Yan Sijue sent mother and son home, barely pausing before he headed to Lan Yueru’s sanatorium. Having been in City X these past few days, he hadn’t visited his mother for five days.
Unexpectedly, Xin was there as well.
She was sitting face to face with Lan Yueru in the courtyard, feeding her while having her meal.
"Aunt Lan, it’s been a long time since you last saw me, did you miss me? I’m so far away from you now, it’s really inconvenient to see you even once." Xin said with a smile, her tone familiar without seeming overly intimate.
She wiped Lan Yueru’s mouth skillfully, "If you wake up, you will surely be very happy. The person you dislike is said to be on the verge of failing. Your son has also grown up successfully, and now he is quite accomplished. If you knew what he has done, you’d definitely be proud of him."
As Xin spoke, a faint smile lingered on her face. It wasn’t until Yan Sijue walked closer that she noticed and stood up, turning to look at him.
"Yan Sijue? You’re here." She didn’t show any particularly surprised expression, "I heard from the nurse that you usually come on even-numbered days, so I didn’t expect to run into you."
Yan Sijue looked at his mother’s peaceful face and gave a light smile, "Thanks for your trouble once again."
"It’s nothing, I’ve gotten used to these things." Xin smiled and put down the bowl, "But since you’re here, I’ll leave Aunt Lan to you."
After speaking, she squatted down to say to Lan Yueru, "Aunt Lan, I’m leaving. I’ll come see you again in a couple of days."
Then she stood up, nodded slightly to Yan Sijue in farewell, and walked straight out.
"Xin." Yan Sijue suddenly called out to her, a complex expression in his eyes, "What do you really want?"
Xin smiled, "Have you finally lost your composure?"
"So you do have ulterior motives. You can tell me directly, after all you’ve done for me, I will try to help you with any difficult task," Yan Sijue said blandly.
"I’m asking this because I know you’ve actually always been cautious of me." Xin stood straight, her smile clear, "However, you are truly mistaken, I have no ulterior motives. I am very satisfied with my current life and see no need to scheme for anything. Of course, I cannot exclude the possibility for the future."
"So, you’ve done so much without any ulterior motives, just because I saved you back then?" Yan Sijue’s gaze still showed mistrust.
He doesn’t disbelieve that such a person could exist, but he cannot trust the woman in front of him.
