Chapter 784: The Window Paper That Will Be Pierced Sooner or Later
"Yiliang, tomorrow... is our wedding." he said in a low voice, his tone slightly hoarse.
Mu Yiliang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and said, "Yes, I... actually feel a bit nervous."
He chuckled, saying word by word into her ear, "Me too, I’ve waited too long for this day, I’m really afraid something unexpected might happen."
Mu Yiliang felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"No, nothing unexpected will happen," her tone sounded incredibly firm, "We will become husband and wife."
"Really?" His voice grew raspier, as if seeking some assurance.
"Really." Mu Yiliang felt tears welling in her eyes, she took a deep breath before continuing, "No one, nothing will stop us."
Not even herself!
Yan Sijue’s arms gradually tightened, holding her closer and closer.
Mu Yiliang could feel his rapid and strong heartbeat! His excitement and fear were transmitted to her heart with each intense beat.
She suddenly understood that he was no longer just doubting, but... essentially certain? That’s why he was afraid, that’s why he searched for assurance from her.
These past few days she deliberately avoided being alone with him, he must have noticed.
She even stopped asking him about his past as she used to.
But she didn’t mention it, and he pretended nothing had happened.
Mu Yiliang knew, his heart was not only fearful, but also tormented. She couldn’t avoid it forever, eventually, the silence would have to be broken, and when that moment arrived, what kind of situation would unfold before him, he didn’t know.
Even she couldn’t imagine.
Yan Sijue lowered his head, kissed her cheek, his voice turned hoarse, "Yiliang, do you know? The MYL system is named after you."
She tried to smile, "That... I had already guessed."
"When I bought this small island, I renamed it, now it’s called Ailiang Island."
Mu Yiliang softly responded with an "Mm," her eyes growing increasingly sore.
She hurriedly spoke, "Sijue, I’m a bit tired, I want to rest for a while."
The man’s body stiffened slightly.
"Okay." he said, letting her go, "Rest well, tomorrow will be a long day."
She tried to smile at him, watching him turn and leave the room.
His footsteps were slow and heavy.
If it were before, he would have definitely found an excuse to stay and sleep beside her. But today, he was so obedient.
He must have guessed, so he knew that her saying she was tired was just an excuse.
As the room door closed with a click, Mu Yiliang finally couldn’t hold back, tears fell drop by drop, splashing onto the sketchbook.
She used her fist to cover her mouth, barely suppressing the sobbing that kept overflowing.
It felt like her heart was being forcefully torn apart, almost ripping her in two! The overwhelming emotions almost drowned her!
It was too painful, it turns out all of this was much more painful than she had imagined! She really didn’t know how much longer she could hold on!
She didn’t want him to suffer, but she didn’t know how to resolve her own tumultuous and chaotic emotions!
All his kindness towards her eventually turned into pressure, suffocating her.
Outside the room.
Yan Sijue’s hand remained on the doorknob.
Even though Mu Yiliang’s voice was as low as possible, he still heard intermittent sobs, like a saw, tearing his heart to pieces!
