The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!-Chapter 999: Obsession (13)

He spoke as he moved closer to the cradle, carefully examining it for quite a while without deducing anything, and eventually gave up.

He then ceremoniously wrapped a red envelope and tucked it into the baby’s swaddling. Next to him, Xiao Qi saw this and couldn’t resist rolling her eyes.

Afterward, Qiao Yebai looked up and saw Xiaoze coming out of the room, called out, "Xiaoze, come with me. Uncle’s place is lots of fun."

Xiaoze made a face at him, then shook Mu Yiliang’s hand and said, "Mommy, I want to go play."

Mu Yiliang forced a bitter smile.

She’s not a fool. Of course, she can tell Yan Sijue is avoiding her. He must have made up his mind when he suggested she come over to Xiao Qi and Jason’s place.

Since that’s the case, what’s the point of her insistence?

"Then let’s go," she eventually said softly.

Seeing her look of sadness, Xiao Qi felt heartbroken and walked over to embrace her. "Your man probably has his reasons, don’t blame him."

Mu Yiliang forced a smile.

The three of them said goodbye to Xiao Qi and Jason, and it didn’t take long before they left.

Seated in the car, Mu Yiliang leaned dispiritedly against the window. Xiao Qi pulled Qiao Yebai aside, bombarding him with questions, insisting he list all the fun stuff at his house before he felt satisfied.

Qiao Yebai barely managed to handle Xiaoze’s questions, and through the rearview mirror, he noticed Mu Yiliang’s despondent look and couldn’t help but speak up, "Hey sis, can you show some ambition? If he doesn’t want to be with you for now, then act a little more carefree."

"But why..." Mu Yiliang finally couldn’t help but ask, "Everything was fine before."

He still loves her; she would never mistake that. Everything was fine, how did it come to this...

No, it wasn’t fine. Previously, she had always been plotting to kill him!

Mu Yiliang felt like she had fallen into an ice cave!

Could it be that he knows her thoughts, knows that she’s still hesitating whether to harm him, so he’s unwilling to stay by her side?

Yes, that must be it! He must have known all along! He’s so smart; how could he be completely unaware of her few hidden attempts? That one time, she even pierced his skin!

Realizing this, Mu Yiliang suddenly became flustered.

She doesn’t want to kill him! No, she doesn’t want to at all! She’s already working hard, trying to overcome that impulse; she just needs a bit more time!

She needs to explain to him; she doesn’t want him to be wary of her or doubt her!

"Yebai, take me to Si Jue!" she said anxiously, "He may have misunderstood me; I need to explain to him!"

"I’m quite sure he hasn’t misunderstood you," Qiao Yebai said calmly, as if he knew what she was thinking, "He can’t stay by your side for now, and it’s definitely not for him, but for you."

Mu Yiliang paused, "Is that so?"

"Yes," Qiao Yebai said with certainty, "Tell me honestly, every time you have a headache, it’s because of him, isn’t it?"

Mu Yiliang was at a loss for words.

So, he indeed knows everything... Even knows she once had murderous thoughts towards him.

Yet, he never showed the slightest bit of fear or terror.

If he can keep her by his side knowing full well she wants to kill him, what reason does she have to harm such a man?

"Anyway, don’t overthink, just stay at my place for a while." Qiao Yebai’s voice suddenly softened, "Liang, you should know, neither I nor he can bear seeing you in pain. So don’t force yourself."
