Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Return to City A

A City Airport.

Amidst the bustling crowd, a low-key, ordinary-looking mother and son pair inadvertently attracted many gazes.

This pair of mother and son—or perhaps siblings, as the woman appeared very young, not much like a mother with a child of five or six—both wore large sunglasses that covered most of their faces, yet their unparalleled aura could not be hidden.

The woman’s snow-white skin, delicate chin, and alluring lips drew countless envious glances. The little boy, cutely pursed his lips, held her hand, and looked around curiously.

"Mommy, this is A City!" Xiaoze exclaimed.

"Mm, that’s right."

"There are so many people." Xiaoze continued to marvel.

"Son, being this excited might not be appropriate—you shouldn’t forget, we’re not here for sightseeing," Mu Yiliang reminded him.

"Oh, I believe Uncle Robert can handle it, and Aunt Xiaoqi and Uncle Jason will find a way to rescue him." Xiaoze smiled.

"...Alright, I believe he can handle it too." Mu Yiliang, upon thinking, eased her worries and looked at this city, more prosperous than it was six years ago, with a touch of sentiment.

Although she had stayed in A City for less than half a year back then, that period was extremely unforgettable for her.

Since her divorce from Yan Sijue, she had completely severed ties with her parents and relatives—except for her reclusive grandfather—and now, returning to the city where her parents lived, she had no intention of reuniting with them, but she still wanted to know about their current situation. No matter how indifferent they were to her, she was ultimately their daughter.

However, being in this city also meant being in Yan Sijue’s domain—unlike in Gambling City, here, if Yan Sijue were to do anything to her, she would have absolutely no power to resist.

Unfortunately, for Robert’s sake, she and Xiaoze had no choice but to take this step, so close to Yan Sijue, and still think of ways to steal the Yan Family’s secrets... Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but admire her own courage. She originally didn’t want to bring her son, but Xiaoze was unwilling to let her go alone.

Thus, she had to be exceedingly careful—if the mission failed, there might be other ways, after all, the opponent didn’t intend to take Robert’s life, but if Yan Sijue discovered Xiaoze’s existence, that would be real trouble.

Leaving the airport, they headed straight to the already booked hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Mu Yiliang immediately threw herself onto the bed, after such a long flight, she was really exhausted...

Xiaoze considerately brought her a cup of milk, "Mommy, I added a bit of honey, it should taste much better. Please drink it!"

He blinked his eyes with utmost sincerity.

Thinking about their situation, Mu Yiliang took it without hesitation and drank it all in one go.

Xiaoze’s mouth immediately formed an "O" shape.

Mu Yiliang pinched her son’s cheeks, "So surprised? Do you think your mommy is that unreasonable?"

Now was not the time for fragility; Mu Yiliang also knew her physical condition could be a burden at times, and she could only try her best not to be a nuisance to her son and Jason.

Xiaoze seemed to understand something, hugged Mu Yiliang’s waist, and said, "Mommy, you don’t have to force yourself..."

"I’m still your mommy, after all!" Mu Yiliang rubbed his cheeks.
