Chapter 182: Chapter 182: In the End, It Was Missed

Also, the child’s mother is Mu Yiliang.

No matter how much that woman resists him, how cruel she is to him, and lies to him time and again. But she gave birth to his son, and that’s a fact she can never deny!

Thinking of that, the anger he felt from being deceived by her once again seemed to dissipate a bit.

He turned his gaze to Xiaoze.

"How much do you know about the whole thing?" Yan Sijue asked his son, sitting across from him, his voice unconsciously softening.

"Uh... This past half month, mommy left me at Great Grandpa’s place, so I’m not too clear about mommy’s plans. I only know that she intended to come to you for help, Daddy." Xiaoze’s face was full of worry, "If Uncle Jason hadn’t contacted me, I wouldn’t have known that mommy was in trouble."

"She won’t be in danger for now." Yan Sijue pondered for a moment, "Don’t worry too much."

Xiaoze nodded obediently, then asked, "But... why is this happening? I always thought you, Daddy, had agreed to help mommy, so why would she still..."

"I did agree to her." Yan Sijue suddenly showed a slightly mocking smile, "But unfortunately, she approached me with ulterior motives!"

Xiaoze widened his eyes.

"Do you know what she took?" Yan Sijue gritted his teeth.

Every time he thought of her heartlessness, he felt a violent urge to kill!

"What is it?" Xiaoze had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The thing the other side wanted." Yan Sijue glanced at his son, "You should know?"

Xiaoze hesitated for a moment, then asked, "That... is it the evidence of you, Daddy, laundering money?"

Yan Sijue coldly curled his lips.

Xiaoze exclaimed, slapping his forehead, feeling utterly powerless. Mommy, how could you do such a ruthless thing! How much do you hate this man!

"Maybe... mommy was just desperate..." Xiaoze weakly explained.

"At that time, my plan was already at the final stage." Yan Sijue cracked his knuckles, not knowing why he suddenly had the urge to confide in his son, even though the boy was not yet six years old, "Just one more day and I could wrap things up, but she wouldn’t believe me!"

Xiaoze looked at his gloomy, handsome father’s face, scratching his head, and said, "Maybe... mommy didn’t want to owe you such a big favor."

He had some understanding of his mommy’s mindset. She must have realized the trouble was greater than she anticipated, and since Daddy showed quite a strong stance and possessiveness, she backed down...

Sigh, this restless pair, Xiaoze sighed.

But after hearing Xiaoze’s words, Yan Sijue’s expression became even more unpleasant.

"No matter how you put it, she just doesn’t want to have any involvement with me, right?" Yan Sijue sneered, his eyes darkened.

Xiaoze couldn’t say anything either, his heart began to worry, wondering if Daddy would decide to give up because of this? Any other man would already treat mommy as an enemy and wouldn’t even think of saving her...

Yan Sijue closed his eyes momentarily, forcing himself to calm down.

These emotions of his could only be revealed in front of his son—although this was their first meeting, Yan Sijue inexplicably felt they seemed to have known each other for years. And this child was smart and mature beyond his years yet remained genuine; he couldn’t deny that he was very satisfied.

Blood ties are indeed a magical thing.

Seeing Xiaoze’s slightly furrowed brows in distress, he finally smiled a little.

"Don’t worry, for your sake, I won’t abandon her," Yan Sijue finally said, "However, from now on, I can’t allow her to wander off with you anymore!"

Xiaoze’s expression froze instantly!

His father’s intention is that... he’s going to fight mommy for his custody?

"Tonight, you’ll come home with me." Yan Sijue thought for a moment, "I’ll let you make your appearance when the time is right."

"But, I promised mommy I would wait for her at Great Grandpa’s..." Xiaoze twisted his fingers.

Yan Sijue squinted his eyes at his son.

"Since you took the initiative to acknowledge me, you should know the consequences," Yan Sijue’s tone was very firm, "You’re my son, so naturally, you should live with me. Mr. Mu is getting old, he certainly can’t take care of you well!"

Xiaoze worriedly furrowed his brows.

The situation he feared has happened, no wonder mommy always avoided exposing their situation because she knew how Daddy would react.

Sigh... what should he explain to mommy when he sees her...

"Alright, let’s go out now." Yan Sijue held out his hand to him.

Xiaoze thought for a moment and still obediently jumped off the sofa to take his hand.

Yan Sijue held his son’s warm and soft little hand, his heart suddenly stirred with emotion.

Only at this moment did he feel a real sense of being a father.

**********

The conversation between Mu Yiliang and Xiao Qi, Robert didn’t last long.

The two of them were taken away separately by bodyguards for questioning.

However, knowing that they were both safe and having exchanged intelligence, it didn’t matter to them to be separated. It was just... hard on Mu Yiliang.

Because Ye Moran came in right after.

Only at this time did Mu Yiliang have the heart to seriously examine him.

Compared to six years ago, his appearance hadn’t changed much, but his tall body seemed leaner, and his complexion appeared paler than before.

The spirited confidence was no longer there, replaced by a kind of intimidating restraint.

"Thank you." Mu Yiliang leaned against the window, softly expressing gratitude.

Ye Moran smiled faintly, walking toward her.

Seeing him approach, Mu Yiliang actually had the impulse to run away, but she suppressed it. At this moment, under no circumstance could she afford to provoke him.

"Your guess was correct." He extended his hand, taking a lock of her hair, his voice hoarse.

She paused, realizing that this man had heard every word of her conversation with Xiao Qi and the others just now.

However, this was also unsurprising.

"I thought this possibility was the greatest," Mu Yiliang lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding his gaze.

"Being the CEO of AI Investment Bank is just my public identity." Ye Moran spoke to himself, "I can’t show too much special concern for you, otherwise I will be at risk, and it would also endanger you..."

It really turned out to be like this...

Mu Yiliang’s heart suddenly felt exceptionally complicated.

Although his response came too late, at least it let her know that her sacrifices back then were not entirely in vain.

But, in the end, they still missed each other.

"But, I can’t bring myself to let go." He smiled bitterly, gently pulling her into his arms, "So I could only treat you in that way, giving you a bit of hope each time, only to then ruthlessly shatter it... I’m sorry."

Feeling his hot breath, Mu Yiliang felt slightly uncomfortable, subtly moving away: "It’s okay... after all, so many years have passed."
