Chapter 603: Must Not Waste Previous Efforts
No, no, he cannot get any closer to her!
Even though the vitality in her body still fatally attracts him, making every cell in his body excited!
But, he can’t...
He closed his eyes!
Getting close to her again would only bring her harm once more. He has used all his strength to hold on until today; he can’t let it all go to waste!
But it’s too hard, too hard!
Clearly, his light of life is just within reach, clearly, just a bit closer, and he can feel the warmth he hasn’t felt in a long time, yet he is the most unqualified person in this world to approach her.
Yan Sijue slowly clenched his hands, looking up towards the place where the lights were on.
Even through the curtains, he could still see that graceful silhouette.
He didn’t know how long it had been before he finally turned and left.
His back was lonely and cold.

The next day, Mu Yiliang had no choice but to take Xiaoze by taxi.
In the taxi, Xiaoze tentatively asked, "Mommy, the person who sent you back yesterday, is he your new department manager?"
"Mm..." Mu Yiliang felt she hadn’t gotten enough sleep yet, so she was resting her eyes while holding her son’s soft body.
"How old is he?" Xiaoze continued to ask.
"Seems like he’s twenty-two?" Mu Yiliang remembered hearing Ms. Zhao mention it.
"So young?" Xiaoze hesitated, "What’s his name?"
Mu Yiliang finally felt something was off and opened her eyes to look at him, "Are you checking the household register?"
"I’m just concerned about you!"
Mu Yiliang rolled her eyes and pinched her son’s cheek, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking! That guy is too wicked! And he’s a notorious playboy, he will never become your stepdad, so don’t waste your time!"
Xiaoze’s expression was a bit strange, "...playboy?"
So he’s actually a playboy...
Then he wouldn’t need to be so conflicted. Mommy has no interest in romantic relationships at all, and while he worries, he also feels an inexplicable loss upon sensing that Mommy might start a new romance, both for himself and for Daddy.
Daddy came to S City yesterday and met him. Xiaoze always felt that if things went on like this, Daddy would drive himself into a corner.
Mommy forgot everything, so she never suffered pain because of it, but all the pain and sorrow multiplied a hundredfold on Daddy. He filled all his time with work, yet loneliness still shadowed him.
Even though Xiaoze could feel that Daddy was trying his best to change himself, forcing himself to be more down-to-earth, it didn’t have much effect.
He sighed sadly, but there was no one who could help him with this problem.
Mu Yiliang was amused by her son’s mature demeanor and pulled his face, "Why are you sighing all the time at such a young age? Are you struggling to choose which little girl to make your girlfriend?"
"What are you talking about!" Xiaoze replied, frustrated, slapping her hand away.
Mommy is becoming more and more out of tune!
"Don’t worry, there’s no possibility between me and that boss! He’s not only the manager of our department, he’s also the Crown Prince of Fengye!" Mu Yiliang reassured.
Xiaoze scoffed, "What’s the big deal about being the Crown Prince of Fengye?"
He’s nothing compared to Daddy, not even by a long shot!
Xiaoze thought angrily; could a mere spoiled rich kid from Fengye look down on his mommy? Just the mere mention of Daddy’s name would be enough to make him kneel!
Mu Yiliang laughed even more, "Right, right, it’s no big deal! Son, you really give me face!"
