No wonder Ah Ning, whom Nie Qing ntioned, knew calligraphy, tea ceremony, and dancing. Grandpa had always been strict in teaching his children, so it was no surprise that Mu Ning knew these as well. But thinking of Grandpa’s two children, with Father being shrewd and self-seeking and Mu Ning being indifferent and reckless... could it really be the failure of Grandpa’s education?
"Nie Qing is dead." Yan Sijue’s voice was icy, and his body was sowhat stiff. "Do you feel sorry for him?"
Mu Yiliang sighed softly, "Not really. For one, he hasn’t hard these past few days, and for another, seeing his unrequited love for Aunt, it inevitably touched a bit... but dead is dead, my sympathy ends here."
Although Nie Qing was pitiful, isn’t it said that pitiful people often have sothing detestable about them? Just based on his perverted hobby, so many people were hard by him, his death isn’t undeserved.
Only then did the man’s furrowed brow relax, as he hugged her tightly again. "Yiliang, thank goodness you’re alright."
Leaning in his embrace, Mu Yiliang felt utterly secure. Her nose tingled, and she gave a gentle hum.
No matter when, to et him again, she would fight with all her might to stay alive.
Luckily, she had succeeded, and she had waited for him.
Yan Sijue lowered his head to find her lips and kissed her fiercely!
...
Long after, Mu Yiliang learned the whole truth from Yan Sijue.
"...So, Su Yan sold out to save her own life?" Mu Yiliang calmly asked.
"Yes." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yan Sijue’s eyes. "I will make her understand the consequences of plotting against you!"
Mu Yiliang moved her lips but ultimately refrained from pleading. This ti, she finally personally experienced how troubleso Su Yan could be.
"The woman Nie Qing loved deeply looks so much like you, I don’t think it’s a coincidence. So I contacted Mr. Mu, learned of your aunt’s existence from him, and only then traced her past with Nie Qing." Yan Sijue explained softly. "She used her network to put pressure on the Puritans, which allowed to easily wipe them out."
Mu Yiliang recalled what Mu Ning had said, and her heart tightened, "What did you sacrifice?"
The man smiled faintly, "Nothing but so interests. Your aunt is naturally indifferent, familial ties couldn’t move her, but fortunately, I don’t lack money."
"Could it threaten your foundation?" Mu Yiliang asked worriedly.
"Of course not," Yan Sijue chuckled.
Only then did she relax, her mood slightly downcast, "I’m sorry, not only did I worry you, but I also kept making you pay all kinds of costs... I really am a big trouble, right?"
"I forbid you to think that way!" Pain flickered in Yan Sijue’s eyes. "Yiliang, I don’t care what I have to sacrifice. I’ve told you before, my entire ambition is just to protect your safety... no matter the reason, if sothing happens to you, it’s my failure!"
Mu Yiliang felt the man’s tense muscles, and her heart clenched.
"Sijue, I won’t let anything happen to !" She buried herself in his chest, "Let’s stop blaming ourselves, okay? No matter what, I’m still fine. Don’t worry."
Only then did the man’s muscles gradually relax, and he sighed lightly, "Yiliang, I’m really scared..."
For the first ti, he doubted himself, what if he couldn’t protect her no matter how hard he tried?
He selfishly confined her to his side, and she nearly willingly clipped her own wings for him, but if she would still get hurt... Yan Sijue didn’t dare to think any further!
