Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Give Me a Chance

"You don’t believe me." He said in a low voice, his voice terribly hoarse.

"We met by chance, I can’t think of any reason to trust you." Mu Yiliang took a deep breath and looked up at him.

Yan Sijue released her wrist and slowly sat back in his seat.

His gaze seemed to fall on nowhere in particular, his gloomy, frightening face showed a hint of confusion.

Mu Yiliang took the opportunity to quietly step back, intending to leave without a sound.

"Stop." Yan Sijue softly spoke.

Mu Yiliang had to halt her steps, but in her heart she was lamenting.

He moved in front of her.

"I admit you’re right." His voice still carried a trace of hoarseness, "I’ve never invested feelings in anyone, you’re the first woman to move me. I instinctively wanted to keep you, but refused to think about what that meant—it’s my fault, you have every right not to trust me."

Mu Yiliang bit her lip, feeling the man’s hands cupping her face, she was forced to look up at him.

"Then you ran away." He laughed at himself, "I was extremely angry and frustrated, frantically searching for you, but to no avail, the sense of frustration grew even stronger. So I told myself you weren’t worth investing in; I began to indulge myself, as if that could prove I hadn’t remembered you—it’s quite ridiculous. And when I saw you last, I finally realized, I had never truly let go."

Mu Yiliang’s heartbeat unconsciously sped up. It seemed to be the first time she saw such an expression on this man’s face; self-mockery, confusion, doubt, regret... She suddenly vaguely understood his thoughts.

To him, being moved was a very unfamiliar experience. He didn’t know how to love someone, so he chose what he thought was the most reasonable way, the way that most maximized avoiding getting hurt to deal with this unfamiliar emotion—of course, it was also very childish.

However, this still explains nothing. On the contrary, if he can’t properly control and clarify his emotions, it will only be more dangerous.

"You have no right to demand I trust you." He said in a low voice, using his thumb to stroke her cheek, "But you can’t sentence me because of your subjective view, you can’t assume I’ll certainly do something to wrong you. That isn’t fair to me."

Mu Yiliang blinked: "In matters of the heart, there’s never any fairness."

"Then at least I can ask for a chance." His eyes were intense.

"And if I don’t want to give it..." Mu Yiliang evaded his gaze.

Yan Sijue’s cheek twitched fiercely!

"You really are as ruthless as can be." He said through gritted teeth.

"Young Master Yan." Mu Yiliang sighed softly, "No matter how deep your feelings for me are... I’m moved that you can open up to me, but if you truly want to pursue me, at the very least you should handle your private affairs before seeking me out, otherwise your words have no persuasion."

He squinted: "If I handle everything, will you come back to me?"

"Of course not." Mu Yiliang smiled, gently shaking her head, "Only when you are single do you qualify to pursue another relationship—this is a basic rule, Mr. Yan surely you understand? But whether or not I accept you is a different matter."
