Chapter 785: Stop It
The man tightly pressed his lips together, his face pale, devoid of any expression, yet the emotions in his eyes were so turbulent! It was as if a massive black hole, ready to devour everything at any moment!
He had imagined countless possibilities of what she might do once she remembered everything.
However, none of these possibilities could escape from the same ending; she would definitely hate him.
But he was wrong, he was completely wrong from beginning to end!
Her love for him was much deeper than he had imagined, so her final choice turned out to be...acting as if nothing had happened, pretending to know nothing.
She was painfully suppressing herself, just to avoid making him sad and disappointed.
How he longed to rush in and hold her in his arms, apologize to her, and beg for her forgiveness...as long as she could let go, he was willing to pay any price!
However, how could he bear to shatter the situation she had painstakingly created? She was desperately suppressing herself, just to be able to marry him smoothly! What right did he have to destroy her efforts?
He closed his eyes, listening to her stifled sobs, feeling as if his heart was being cut with a knife.
He didn’t know how much time had passed until the room returned completely to silence before he finally released the door handle and left.

Due to the continuous arrival of guests, the manor was in a bit of chaos for a while.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lan Yueru went to the buffet to get some food and went to the basement.
The squad guarding Xin did not stop her, so Lan Yueru went in smoothly; she knew it was on Yan Sijue’s orders and felt somewhat grateful in her heart.
In the room, Xin sat upright, looking very calm and tidy, clearly not having been troubled by anyone. Lan Yueru breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xin?" she called out.
Xin looked up, saw it was her, and smiled: "Aunt Lan, why are you here? The basement is a bit damp, your joints might feel uncomfortable."
"I’m not that delicate." Lan Yueru pushed the door in, opened the lunch box, "I brought you some food."
Xin laughed: "Aunt Lan, do you believe your son would let me go hungry?"
"What they bring you may not be what you like to eat!" Lan Yueru insisted, "I specifically picked the things you love."
Xin looked at the lunch box, her eyes flickering slightly, picked up a spoon, and said, "Then I’ll eat a little more."
Lan Yueru smiled with relief, then her face showed a trace of worry: "You know Sijue’s temperament, I can’t control him at all...but fortunately, after tomorrow’s wedding, you can leave. Xin, listen to me, let it go..."
Xin was startled: "Aunt Lan, what do you mean by that?"
Lan Yueru gave a bitter smile: "Xin, do you think I can’t see it? You’ve fallen in love with Sijue, haven’t you?"
Xin’s expression did not change, but her pupils slightly contracted.
"You don’t need to deny it in front of me; I’ve seen it clearly over the past year." Lan Yueru gently shook her head, sighed, "Xin, you are a good child, if it weren’t for that child Mu Yiliang, I would also be happy to have you as my daughter-in-law, but Sijue has chosen her... You can’t imagine the extent of the sacrifices Sijue has made to be with her."
As Lan Yueru spoke, her eyes turned red.
She recalled the sight of Sijue undergoing psychological treatment... She watched with her own eyes as her son endured such inhuman torment, weeping and begging him to give up, and yet he remained steadfast without the slightest wavering.
