The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!-Chapter 1005: Obsession (19)

Yan Sijue was silent for a long time before speaking, "Could you ask Master Chen to come once more? I have questions for him."

Qiao Yebai’s face changed slightly.

"What, is it inconvenient?" Yan Sijue lifted his eyes.

Qiao Yebai gritted his teeth, "Convenient, why wouldn’t it be!"

But again, he would have to ask Lian Xiaoxiao...wondering what request that woman would make this time.

"But you have to tell me first, what did you discover?" Qiao Yebai pressed on.

"I’m going upstairs to see Yiliang first." Yan Sijue evaded the question and turned to leave the dining room.

Qiao Yebai was furious, turning to Xiaoze, "Do you know?"

Xiaoze, who had played all afternoon and was hungry, was gnawing on a chicken leg and looked bewildered at Qiao Yebai’s question, "Know what? Daddy and mommy were quite okay this afternoon."

Qiao Yebai threw down his napkin in frustration and got up to make a call.

...

When Yan Sijue pushed the door open, he saw Mu Yiliang curled up in a corner of the sofa.

Her body was huddled, her eyes unfocused on something, appearing dazed.

Upon hearing footsteps, she looked up and, seeing Yan Sijue, instinctively shrank back.

The instinctive reaction made Yan Sijue’s pupils constrict slightly, and a sharp pain pierced his heart.

Yet he seemed unperturbed, smiling as he asked, "Yiliang, why aren’t you coming down for dinner?"

She shook her head, "I can’t eat."

"What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you," he said softly.

Mu Yiliang shook her head again, forcing a smile, "It’s okay, I’ll come down when I’m hungry. You don’t have to worry about me."

Yan Sijue looked at her intently, squatting down in front of her, "Don’t you want to see me?"

"No, it’s not that!" Mu Yiliang quickly shook her head, thinking bitterly, how could she not want to see him? But she was really scared...

"Are you afraid you’ll kill me?" Yan Sijue said softly.

Mu Yiliang’s pupils instantly enlarged! She stammered, "Ho...how could that be?"

"Yiliang, don’t lie to me." He laughed helplessly, "I know you too well, even the slightest change can’t escape my eyes. I know what you’re worried about."

That moment by the pool in the afternoon, the hatred in her eyes did not go unnoticed by him. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Mu Yiliang’s eyes suddenly reddened, "I’m sorry, I don’t know why, I don’t want to be like this either..."

The man felt a tug at his heart, the pain intense!

He held her hand tightly, gently laughed, "Yiliang, I know everything. You don’t have to worry about impulsively killing me. Rest assured, I won’t die easily. You’re not a professional assassin; do you think just because you want to kill me, you could actually do it?"

Mu Yiliang stared blankly at him, inexplicably feeling this conversation was somewhat bizarre...

But the heaviness in her heart unknowingly dissipated somewhat.

"I won’t kill you." She suddenly spoke, sullenly, with a child’s defiance and stubbornness, "I know I won’t."

"Mm..." Yan Sijue chuckled softly, feeling a warm stream rise within his heart.

He embraced her, gently coaxing, "I know you won’t. Come on, let’s go down and have dinner, alright?"

Mu Yiliang hesitated for a moment, eventually nodded.

Although that intense hatred occasionally surfaced, controlling her rationality, she believed that the power of love was more enduring and stronger than hatred.
