Mu Yunlie had told her that after his mother, Nangong Chun, passed away due to illness, Mu Feng had been deeply depressed every day, eventually taking his own life by jumping from a building, following his late wife in death.
If his mother’s judgnt back then was not wrong,
Then it would an that Mu Feng was murdered!
The so-called suicide by jumping was orchestrated by soone else!
If indeed soone had pushed Mu Feng off the building, and that person was still at large...
This hidden enemy could potentially harm Mu Yunlie in the future!
She had to tell him!
Yan Qianyi started her car and sped up.
At this mont, in Mu Yunlie’s ho, the dining table was set with steaming hot dinner, but the atmosphere in the room was very cold.
Mu Yunlie sat on the sofa, his handso face tense.
Aunt Xue cautiously suggested, "Son-in-law, should I send the young lady another voice ssage to ask?"
"No need, let’s wait a bit longer."
Mu Yunlie lit a cigarette.
It was already almost nine o’clock.
Aunt Xue had sent Yan Qianyi several voice ssages, none of which were answered, nor were any ssages replied to.
This forced him to wonder, had she run away?
Ah Chang asked Mu Yunlie through the earpiece, "Master, do you want the main system to send over Xiao Ke’s location?"
"There’s no need," Mu Yunlie said coldly.
He didn’t want to do this sort of thing to her anymore.
Since he had decided, as long as she was willing to stay by his side, he would give her enough freedom to do whatever she wanted.
Then he couldn’t keep tracking her whereabouts like before.
Last ti, after she discovered the tracking system in the silver needle, she had broken up with him.
He did not want it to happen a second ti.
Just wait a little longer, she would surely co back.
After all, her attitude towards him had softened a lot last night.
However, as ti trickled by, the hope in Mu Yunlie’s heart grew dimr and dimr.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, so absorbed in thought he didn’t even notice the cigarette burning down to the filter.
Only when his fingers felt the burn did he suddenly snap back to reality and hurriedly tossed away the cigarette butt.
Seeing this, Aunt Xue anxiously said, "Son-in-law, I’ll get so ice to soothe it!"
"No need."
Aunt Xue sighed, her heart aching as she watched Mu Yunlie.
The miss had been gone for so long, and the master seed like he’d lost his soul.
If the miss was her own daughter, she really wanted to scold her, how could she not cherish such a good man?
Even if she was busy, she should at least respond to a ssage.
The son-in-law probably thinks the miss won’t co back by now.
Aunt Xue reassured, "Son-in-law, don’t overthink it, the miss will definitely co back, she might just be busy with sothing."
Mu Yunlie remained silent, not uttering a word.
Aunt Xue walked to the door to look outside.
Just as she was about to send another voice ssage, she finally saw Yan Qianyi coming back.
She imdiately said with joy, "Son-in-law! The miss is back!"
Mu Yunlie was startled and quickly got up to go to the door.
When Yan Qianyi saw the two people at the door, she was taken aback, "What’s the matter with you two?"
"Why didn’t you answer the voice ssages? And you didn’t send any ssages back, we’ve been waiting for you for a long ti!"
"Oh! I was busy, I forgot."
Yan Qianyi then rembered that Aunt Xue had called her several tis.
She had been talking to Li Ying and intended to call back afterward.
After her conversation with Li Ying, she had been pondering over Mu Feng’s case and had forgotten about it.
Suddenly, Mu Yunlie took big steps forward and swept Yan Qianyi into his arms.
"The food must have gotten cold, I’ll go heat it up again."
Seeing this, Aunt Xue quickly excused herself.
Mu Yunlie held Yan Qianyi very tight, wishing he could ld her into his body.
His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered in a low voice, "I thought you wouldn’t co back."
At this mont, with her tightly embraced in his arms, his suspended heart finally settled down.
He was truly terrified of losing her.
And now, losing her ant losing two.
"I... just got held up for a bit," Yan Qianyi was almost smothered by his hug.
She could feel Mu Yunlie’s fear of losing her.
To prevent him from torturing himself like this, she added, "As long as you don’t doubt again, and don’t lock up at ho restricting my freedom, I won’t leave."
At least not now.
Mu Yunlie, filled with elation, gripped her shoulders tightly, his gaze burning with intensity: "Really?"
Yan Qianyi nodded gently.
As long as he did not stop her from seeking revenge.
As long as he could accept the truth.
As long as he chose her over Mu Huaner.
She wouldn’t leave.
A smile finally appeared on Mu Yunlie’s face.
He didn’t even ask her what business she had to attend to, and tenderly said, "Let’s go, it’s ti for dinner."
Yan Qianyi took her seat at the dining table, seeing Aunt Xue bring up the reheated dishes, she said, "Next ti I co ho late, you should eat first, no need to wait for ."
Aunt Xue replied, "It was the son-in-law who insisted on waiting for you to co back so we could eat together."
Yan Qianyi glanced at Mu Yunlie.
If it were the past, with Mu Yunlie’s domineering, suspicious nature, he would have certainly asked what she had been doing.
But now he asked nothing.
She understood, his cautiousness stemd from the fear of her leaving.
Now that she knew her mother had nothing to do with Mu Feng’s death, she felt a lot more at ease.
"Ah Lie, after we finish eating, there’s sothing I’d like to talk to you about."
Mu Yunlie paused for a mont, a smile spreading across his face, like an obedient child who had just received candy. He nodded happily.
She was finally taking the initiative to talk to him!
Mu Yunlie quickened his pace of eating.
Yan Qianyi sensed his anticipation, and it left a bitter taste in her heart.
The matter she wanted to discuss was about his father.
Surely he would be in pain when he learned that his father might not have committed suicide, but was murdered instead?
She knew too well that feeling.
And precisely because she understood the pain of having a family mber murdered, she felt even more that she should tell him, that he had the right to know.
Moreover, investigating the Mu Family, he would have an easier ti than her.
Near the end of their al, Mu Huaner sent Mu Yunlie a voice ssage.
Mu Yunlie didn’t avoid it, but simply took the call right there at the dining table.
"Little aunt, what’s up?"
"You’ve been heartbroken again?"
"Now?"
"I can’t make it now, I will co to you tomorrow."
With headphones on, Yan Qianyi couldn’t hear what Mu Huaner was saying on the other end.
She could only guess from Mu Yunlie’s responses that Mu Huaner wanted to et with him.
Was Mu Huaner deciding to finally tell Mu Yunlie about so-called dical accident from those years ago?
Now that she had a general understanding of the situation back then, she wasn’t afraid of Mu Huaner telling Mu Yunlie anymore.
In fact, she even suspected that Mu Huaner had always refrained from telling Mu Yunlie because Mu Huaner might clearly know that Mu Feng’s death was not a dical accident.
Her mother’s murder might not even be because of revenge for a dical accident.
Perhaps her mother was silenced because she had known so secret of the Mu Family.
Yan Qianyi took a sip of soup and asked Mu Yunlie, "Did little aunt suffer a heartbreak?"
"Yeah."
"Aren’t you going to comfort her?"
"No need to worry about her."
