Chapter 615: That was left by Lady Mu
He chose to let go, to give her enough freedom. So he won’t repeat the same mistakes.
Seeing that Yan Sijue hadn’t spoken for a long time, Yang Ru cautiously asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Have someone keep an eye on him, don’t do anything for now, report any new developments to me immediately."
Yan Sijue spoke coldly.
Yang Ru responded with a "yes," feeling a bit conflicted.
This year, the boss’s way of doing things has changed a lot, evident from many details. Yang Ru, who has worked by his side for nearly ten years, could feel it profoundly!
If it had been before, the boss would have dealt with this Su Mingyu long ago, without giving him a chance to disturb Lady Mu!
Perhaps, such a change is a good thing. It allowed him to face his emotions more calmly, and he’s trying his best to become more approachable... If one day he can heal his inner wounds, is there a chance for the boss and Lady Mu to be together again?
Yang Ru didn’t know, but he sincerely hoped for that day to come.
Yan Sijue’s gaze landed on the thermos.
"It’s what Lady Mu left behind," Yang Ru said softly.
Yan Sijue bent down and slowly twisted off the lid. A fragrant aroma of chicken soup filled the hospital room.
After a year, her culinary skills seemed to have improved again, probably to satisfy Xiaoze’s picky taste? After all, that kid has an extremely discerning palate.
The man suddenly showed a faint smile, but soon, that smile froze and turned into bitterness.
He wondered if he would ever have the chance to taste her cooking again.
Yan Sijue felt a pang in his heart, placed the lid back, stood up straight, and left the hospital room.
Yang Ru glanced at Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan was taken aback, then nodded vigorously.
Yang Ru smiled, walked over to pick up the thermos, and then followed Yan Sijue’s steps.
...
The next day, as Mu Yiliang entered the company, a colleague told her that Younger President Gu wanted to see her.
Mu Yiliang felt a jolt in her heart, wondering if it was because he found out she left early yesterday and now wanted to give her a hard time.
With that thought in mind, she pushed open Gu Qingqian’s office door.
The man was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the sunlight outlining a layer of golden light around him, making him look even more imposing!
His back was to Mu Yiliang, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs that looked quite appealing.
Mu Yiliang suddenly felt a trance, involuntarily reminded of Yan Sijue.
That man was completely different from Gu Qingqian.
He was deep and reserved, silent and steady. Nothing could easily move him.
Yet Mu Yiliang suddenly thought, perhaps he, too, once had moments of frustration, moments of youthful impulse, moments of sharp brilliance.
He must have been very young back then.
What on earth had happened to make him become the way he is now?
When Gu Qingqian heard the movement and turned around, he saw Mu Yiliang staring at him in a daze.
His heart skipped a beat, his heartbeat suddenly racing uncontrollably!
"Mu Yiliang!" he called out coldly, suppressing the uncontrollable flutter in his heart.
Mu Yiliang snapped back to her senses!
"I’m sorry, Mr. Gu!" she coughed lightly and lowered her head, "Did you need to see me?"
Gu Qingqian felt a bit irritable.
If this woman really had no feelings for him at all, why did she just look at him with such a fascinated gaze?
If it were before, he would definitely have thought she was deeply in love with him! But now, he really couldn’t convince himself to believe that!
