Mu Yunlie looked at Yan Qianyi and smiled.
Right now, all he wanted was to quickly find out what she was about to say to him.
Yan Qianyi also looked at him and gave a slight smile.
Whether Mu Yunlie would eventually choose Mu Huaner or herself seed to be an outco she could already foresee.
At this mont, she felt that compared to Mu Huaner’s matter, Mu Yunlie cared about her more.
Just then, Mu Yunlie’s wristband lit up again.
This ti, it was Ning Nuan calling.
Mu Yunlie frowned slightly, touched his earpiece to answer and asked with so impatience, "Nuannuan, what’s the matter?"
Lately, Ning Nuan had been frequently appearing at the Nangong Family residence.
He understood Ning Nuan’s feelings for him and had already made his stance clear to her.
Ning Nuan’s persistent clinging made him quite uncomfortable.
"Brother Ah Lie, little aunt is intent on seeking death right now, I can barely stop her! She’s emotionally devastated, can you co over? She’s truly heartbroken this ti!" Ning Nuan urgently said, her voice tinged with sobs.
Mu Yunlie’s brows knotted even more deeply as he asked, "Where are you?"
"At the clubhouse little aunt invested in."
"Got it, I’ll be right there."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qianyi’s eyes darkened slightly.
So he still has to go?
It seed that she had been deluding herself just now...
She didn’t know what Ning Nuan had said and asked, "What happened?"
"Ning Nuan said little aunt is attempting suicide. She’s been obsessed with love since she was young, and every ti she breaks up, she suffers a lot. I need to go check on her."
"Every ti? If it’s not the first ti, then she should be alright, right?"
Mu Yunlie stood up and said, "I don’t know, Ning Nuan is very anxious, and the situation might be quite serious this ti. I’d better go have a look."
"But... I haven’t finished telling you about my matter."
Yan Qianyi didn’t want Mu Yunlie to go.
She always felt that Mu Huaner suddenly asking Mu Yunlie to et up must have a reason; claiming to seek death could just be an excuse.
She wanted to take the initiative to tell Mu Yunlie about what happened in the operating room all those years ago.
Not to have Mu Huaner manipulate the story before he ca to ask her.
That would change the whole nature of the situation.
Mu Yunlie walked over to Yan Qianyi and gently touched her head, "Little aunt has cherished since I was young. If she needs by her side at this ti, I should go see her. I’ll be back soon; wait for ."
Yan Qianyi was sowhat displeased, but she didn’t say much, just nodded, "Alright."
Pestering persistently wasn’t sothing she could do.
Yet she felt a bit disappointed inside.
Between Mu Huaner and herself, Mu Yunlie considered Mu Huaner first.
Indeed, Mu Huaner was very important to him.
In his rush to leave, Mu Yunlie failed to notice the change in Yan Qianyi’s emotions.
But Aunt Xue saw it.
After Mu Yunlie left, Aunt Xue asked, "Miss, do you dislike the son-in-law keeping in contact with his little aunt?"
Yan Qianyi forced a smile, "Not at all."
Aunt Xue said, "Don’t be foolishly jealous, after all, that’s a family mber the son-in-law cares about."
"Right, I know," Yan Qianyi nodded helplessly.
In other families, the problem usually lies between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Mu Yunlie’s mother passed away early, so he didn’t have to deal with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issue. Instead, he faced issues with his niece-in-law.
Aunt Xue’s words indeed served as a reminder to her.
No matter what Mu Huaner did, she couldn’t show her dissatisfaction with Mu Huaner in front of Mu Yunlie.
After all, whenever Mu Yunlie was around, Mu Huaner always seed very fond of her.
If she showed her true feelings, it would appear to be her fault.
It would, in fact, play right into Mu Huaner’s hands.
Yan Qianyi decided not to overthink it.
Even if Mu Huaner exaggerated or twisted the facts of the past dical incident when speaking to Mu Yunlie that night, Yan Qianyi’s conscience was clear.
She had recorded her conversation with Li Ying.
If Mu Yunlie still didn’t believe her, or her mother, after listening to it, then he wasn’t a man worth her love.
...
Mu Yunlie arrived on the terrace of the club and saw Mu Huaner about to jump off the building with Ning Nuan holding on to her.
Catching sight of Mu Yunlie in the corner of her eye, Mu Huaner struggled even harder.
"Nuannuan, don’t hold ! I truly don’t want to live anymore. My life is destined never to et a good man; why bother living?"
Mu Yunlie wasn’t easily fooled. To make the act more convincing, Mu Huaner put all her strength into trying to climb over the railing, whispering to Ning Nuan, "You better catch ."
If she didn’t make the act realistic enough and Brother Ah Lie saw through it, she would be the one scared when Ah Lie lost his temper.
Mu Yunlie reprimanded, "Stop ssing around!"
Mu Huaner was startled and turned to look at Ah Lie, starting to cry pitifully, "Ah Lie... why is my fate so cruel, that I can’t et a good man..."
Mu Yunlie strode forward, grabbed Mu Huaner’s wrist, and pulled her down from the railing, his voice deep as he said, "It’s just a man, is he really worth this much drama?"
"Now you have soone you love in your heart. Don’t you understand the despair of losing the one you love?"
Mu Yunlie paused for a mont.
He hadn’t understood before, but ever since Yan Qianyi said she wanted to break up with him the last ti, he got it.
And in the days without her, he felt that despair every day.
Suddenly understanding Mu Huaner’s feelings, Mu Yunlie softened his tone a bit, consoling her:
"It’s okay, if it’s not ant to be, it just ans he wasn’t your true destined partner. When fate arrives, you’ll naturally et him."
As a child, whenever little aunt ca to him heartbroken, he couldn’t find the words to comfort her and could only silently listen to her.
Back then, he didn’t understand love.
Now he had tasted love himself and knew how to offer consolation.
Mu Huaner threw herself into Mu Yunlie’s arms, sobbing, "But what if I never et my true destined partner in this life and remain unmarried? When I get old, will you take care of your little aunt?"
"Of course, I will. Don’t worry, I won’t let you be lonely and miserable all by yourself."
Mu Yunlie felt sowhat helpless.
Although the little aunt was seven years his senior, perhaps because she hadn’t beco a wife or a mother, she sotis seed like a little girl who never grew up.
Of course, he would be willing to take care of her if little aunt really ended up alone.
After all, when he was a child in the Mu family, it had been the little aunt who looked after him.
And since little aunt and Qianyi got along so well, he believed Qianyi wouldn’t object.
Hearing Mu Yunlie say this, Mu Huaner smiled through her tears, "With these words from Ah Lie, I’m not afraid of being lonely for life. Co on, let’s have a couple of drinks."
"No need for drinks, Qianyi is waiting for at ho."
Hearing this, Mu Huaner started to cry again, "Now that you have a wife, do you not need your little aunt anymore?"
"Don’t think like that, I told Qianyi I would go ho early."
"Just sit with for half an hour; it won’t delay you much ti. Qianyi is already living at your place; she won’t elope. Besides, life is so long; you and your wife will have plenty of ti together."
