The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!-Chapter 877: He’s Back (5)

The man looked up at her, his pupils as black as ink.

"Are you very worried about him?"

Mu Yiliang quickly shook her head: "I just don’t want him to suffer an undeserved disaster..."

"No, he’s not innocent at all." Yan Sijue’s smile was cold, "Even at this point, he hasn’t given up on you. My tolerance has its limits."

Mu Yiliang bit her lip and had to admit that Gu Qingqian’s behavior of seizing chances to make his presence felt was indeed very annoying.

She sighed, "How about this, I’ll talk to him one last time, and then you let him go, okay?"

The man glanced at her and gently shook his head: "It’s useless. You’ve rejected him more than once or twice, yet he remains unchanged. Now he thinks he has a chance, no matter what you say, he won’t give up."

Mu Yiliang frustratedly grabbed her hair: "It’s all my fault. I should never have provoked him back then!"

"He was provoked by you?" The man gave her a meaningful look.

"Uh... no." Mu Yiliang thought for a moment, realizing that she seemed not to have provoked that fellow; from the start, it was him picking a fight with her.

"So, anything you say to him is useless. Instead, he will only become braver because he refuses to admit his failure." Yan Sijue’s smile carried a coldness, "Don’t worry about this matter anymore. I will handle it."

"Um..." Mu Yiliang hesitated to speak.

"Relax, I won’t do anything to him." He smiled and rubbed her hair, "Don’t you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you!" Mu Yiliang buried herself in his arms, smiling with curved eyebrows, "With your word, I’m at ease."

...

Gu Qingqian eventually left.

Mu Yiliang only saw him being sent onto a ship from afar, but never got to see him face-to-face, nor did she say a word to him.

She secretly made up her mind that if Gu Qingqian continued his self-destructive behavior, she would no longer care about him, even if he really went so far as to lose his life, she wouldn’t be moved in the slightest.

After all, time and again, her sympathy and tolerance for him had been thoroughly exhausted. He might truly love her and care for her, but his love was too selfish and ill-timed, something she couldn’t bear.

More importantly, she couldn’t hurt the person she truly loves for his sake time and again.

Watching as the ship gradually sailed away, Mu Yiliang returned to the manor to find Yan Sijue in the study.

He was handling documents, seeing the thickness of the accumulated files on the desk, it looked like the other Yan Sijue left him quite a bit of work.

However, upon seeing her, the man still put down his work and reached out his hand to her.

Mu Yiliang walked over, sat in his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

The man naturally embraced her waist. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Si Jue, please don’t leave." She almost blurted out.

Yan Sijue was stunned, feeling a bit moved.

"Alright." He replied softly, "I’m sorry for making you endure that version of me..."

He remembered her conflict and fear clearly.

Mu Yiliang shook her head, without saying more.

Actually, she didn’t hate that version of Yan Sijue, but he was really difficult to get along with. She was exhausted.

She was even more afraid that once he returned, she would be imprisoned by him again, returning to that state of being abandoned by the world, which was too terrifying. She didn’t want to experience it a second time.

Yan Sijue kissed her cheek: "Don’t be afraid, I’ve already called Doctor Sun, he’ll be here this afternoon."
