Chapter 602: Deadly Attraction
Mu Yiliang looked utterly bewildered...
What did he mean by giving her a chance, and what did he mean by telling her to know her limits?
She couldn’t understand a single word!
"I haven’t done anything inappropriate, have I?" Mu Yiliang hesitated, "Or are you still upset about what just happened? Uh... actually, I didn’t take it to heart. Just, we do have to work together, so I hope Mr. Gu, you’ll pay attention to that next time..."
She didn’t think this guy would like her anyway, playboy that he was! Just a moment of lust led him to kiss, Mu Yiliang was aware of that.
But if he kept giving in to his lust again and again, it would become sexual harassment, and that was absolutely intolerable!
Gu Qingqian pondered for a moment, then suddenly wore a look of realization, "Because we work together?"
"Yeah..." Mu Yiliang replied reflexively, vaguely sensing something strange about his words but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
The man smiled knowingly, "I understand now."
To think this woman knew her limits—they worked in the same department, and if anything happened, it indeed could easily affect their work.
If that was the case, he would forgive her obliviousness!
Young Master Gu found an explanation for himself in his mind, and suddenly felt much more at ease.
Mu Yiliang still looked confused. What did he understand? Why did she feel something was off...
"Go home and rest early." His voice was almost gentle, "I’m just temporarily managing the front-end development department, in a while, the old man will surely move me elsewhere."
The implication being, they could develop their relationship later.
Mu Yiliang nodded dazedly and got out of the car.
When the car sped away, she realized, damn it, he was driving her own car! He took her car back, how was she supposed to get to work tomorrow!
Mu Yiliang angrily kicked a pebble by the roadside!
Then she stormed off in the direction of home.
Mu Yiliang currently lived in a relatively upscale neighborhood, so the occupancy rate was not high. At night, only a few scattered lights were on, making it a bit desolate.
Strangely, the streetlights seemed to be broken tonight, it was dark everywhere.
She walked a few steps and suddenly had a strange feeling.
It seemed like a pair of eyes were watching her from the shadows.
She touched her somewhat chilly neck, quickened her pace, and dashed into the corridor!
After Mu Yiliang’s figure disappeared, the streetlights in the neighborhood began to light up one by one.
A man’s figure was cast long by the light.
He was dressed in a crisp suit, with perfect facial features and physique, only his aura was too aloof and cold.
The man stared intently at the corridor where Mu Yiliang had entered, even though she had long since disappeared from his sight.
This past year, he had desperately suppressed the urge to see her, but after chatting with Xiaoze after he picked him up from school today, he finally couldn’t restrain himself.
She hated him.
Even though she had completely forgotten him, she subconsciously knew he was someone who had brought her harm, so she instinctively kept her distance and rejected him.
That was good too, this way she was even less likely to remember him.
And she seemed to be doing quite well.
She was doing what she loved, her days were fulfilling and orderly. She laughed, got angry, and even angrily kicked stones by the roadside—even though Yan Sijue hadn’t seen her face, he could imagine her vibrant appearance.
She was still the person he loved the most in his eyes.
The man felt his throat tighten, as if only on this night, after an unknown period of coldness, did he finally feel a trace of warmth in his heart...
