The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!-Chapter 861: An Unexpected Person (Part 3)

Mu Yiliang discreetly let out a sigh of relief.

"That’s for the best." She gave him one final glance and turned to leave.

Her footsteps gradually quickened, as if afraid someone might see she had talked with Gu Qingqian.

Luckily, there weren’t any servants here... Mu Yiliang felt the cold sweat on her back and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

She hadn’t realized that deep down, she was so terrified.

Everything in the manor was as usual, and Mu Yiliang gradually calmed down as she returned to her room.

Unexpectedly, upon opening the door, she found Yan Sijue standing by the window with his back to her.

Mu Yiliang’s heart skipped a beat.

She took a deep breath and put on a smile: "Sijue, where did you just go? I was looking everywhere for you!"

The man turned and glanced at her, smiling slightly: "Is that so?"

His expression looked somewhat peculiar, as if understanding yet mocking.

For a moment, Mu Yiliang almost believed he already knew about Gu Qingqian’s existence, but... it shouldn’t be that fast.

Mu Yiliang convinced herself to stay calm. She nonchalantly walked over and took his hand: "Of course, I just tried making a dessert, but you weren’t around to tell me if it’s any good."

The man’s palm was burning hot.

He glanced at her hand holding his, then grasped it in return with some force, and murmured, "It’s not too late for me to try now."

With that, he led her out.

Mu Yiliang secretly exhaled in relief, and to ease her tension, she continued, "I just went to our wedding venue. The tulips and roses there are so fresh. Did you have them replaced?"

He looked down and deeply eyed her: "They’re new every day."

Mu Yiliang was taken aback.

The man smiled: "We’re newlyweds, so I don’t want to see anything withered or decayed."

"Mm..." Mu Yiliang didn’t know what to say, so she responded softly.

Arriving at the dining room, Mu Yiliang brought out the dessert she had made and placed it before him: "Try it! It’s freshly made and still warm!"

The man smiled, picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, slowly finished it, and willingly picked up another.

Mu Yiliang was delighted: "Is it delicious?"

He smiled gently: "Very delicious."

Mu Yiliang’s smile deepened, but her heart couldn’t help but race!

These days, he never had a kind word to say, but today he was not only speaking kindly, he frequently smiled at her.

In her memory, the last time he smiled this tenderly was during those two days right after their wedding, when he used such a tone to threaten her.

Mu Yiliang felt the cold sweat on her body increasing.

The man put down the dessert and looked at her: "Yiliang, what’s the matter?"

Mu Yiliang closed her eyes and forced out a smile.

He must know! He definitely knows!

How ridiculous of her to still cling to a sliver of hope!

"Sijue, I need to confess something to you..." she whispered.

The man lifted his gaze to her, half-smiling: "Oh? What do you need to confess?"

"I... Could you promise not to get angry?" She held onto his arm, resting her cheek against his chest, "I truly didn’t mean to."

The man reached out, taking hold of her chin to make her lift her head.

Mu Yiliang was forced to meet his inscrutable dark eyes.

His lips slightly curled with a hint of mockery.
