Chapter 444 How Come Again
Yan Sijue also took the opportunity to deal with a lot of things—on one hand, the establishment of a new company, on the other, the blow against the Puritans. But he had been doing these things all along, and within a couple of days, it was almost wrapped up. Watching Mu Yiliang, who had been the most laid-back person before, enter a workaholic mode, Young Master Yan felt a deep sense of loneliness...
Every night at bedtime, he had to barge in and carry this woman back to the bedroom. When he opened his eyes in the morning, she would already be gone! Upon checking the room next door, she’d be writing code again.
Too exhausted during the day, Mu Yiliang would fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow at night, and some loving activities had to be put on hold for the time being.
Yan Sijue deeply, deeply felt that he had dug himself into a big hole!
One morning, after waking up to find the bed once again empty, Yan Sijue couldn’t take it anymore. He angrily stormed into the next room to drag this disheveled woman up.
Mu Yiliang looked at him blankly, her eyes still bloodshot, which made Yan Sijue’s heartache terribly.
"Are you trying to kill yourself? Isn’t this just a bet?" he asked with a dark expression.
Mu Yiliang waved her hand: "No, this isn’t just a wager; it concerns my dignity!"
The man’s brow twitched: "I know you’re very dedicated, but you can’t work yourself to death like this... Do you know you’ve only been sleeping five or six hours a night lately? You already have a weak constitution. If you keep pushing it, don’t blame me for confiscating your computer!"
He initially thought it was just a passing phase for her, so he quietly tolerated her taking it to the extreme for the first couple of days. But it had been five days, and she was becoming more and more over-the-top... how could Yan Sijue stand it any longer!
"What do you want?" Mu Yiliang was wary. "If you dare do that, I won’t speak to you! We agreed on a promise!"
Yan Sijue smiled bitterly: "But you can’t go on like this... Even if you don’t care for yourself, think about Xiaoze. He’s been working these high-intensity hours with you every day; how can his body handle it?"
Over at the side, Xiaoze was still typing furiously on the computer, seemingly unaware of the conversation about him.
A tinge of guilt finally welled up in Mu Yiliang’s heart: "Alright, from now on, I’ll take a ten-minute break every hour. Is that okay?"
"You must go to bed by ten at night and get up no earlier than seven in the morning!" Yan Sijue demanded firmly.
Mu Yiliang reluctantly agreed... In truth, she was starting to feel a bit worn out herself. Ah, she thought, back in the day, all-night coding was the norm for her. Has she really aged? Or was it due to the few injuries she had this year? She pondered quietly.
She was forcibly dragged downstairs by this man to eat breakfast, not having washed her face or brushed her teeth, wearing wrinkled pajamas, her hair a mess...
Lately, this had been her image, and surprisingly, Yan Sijue didn’t mind...
She first went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, and upon coming out, she discovered there was an additional person on the living room sofa...
Mu Yiliang felt a bit dizzy and, after recognizing, she found it was Xin!
Why is this woman here again!?
Mu Yiliang looked down at herself, showing a face full of agony!
She was in this state! Absolutely unbearable! To show such sloppiness in front of someone she disliked... she’d rather die!
Mu Yiliang quickly hid back in the bathroom, deciding she wouldn’t come out until this woman left!
However, curiosity eventually got the best of her, and she couldn’t resist quietly cracking the door open, letting scattered voices drift into her ears.
