Chapter 220: Chapter 220 The Only Exception

Mu Yiliang gripped the railing tightly, "Why did you say that?"

"There is a woman by his side; I thought you knew." Jason’s face was somber, "And she is not the type just for fun; she is marriage material."

Mu Yiliang felt a tightening in her heart and turned to look at him.

"The name Chen Yayan should still ring a bell for you, right?" Jason sighed, "Yan Sijue has already taken her to several important occasions. Before this, he would never invite the same woman twice as his companion, and Chen Yayan is the only exception. What that means, I don’t need to spell out for you, do I?"

"I know." Mu Yiliang smiled faintly.

But there was still a sharp pain skimming across her heart.

No matter what Yan Sijue’s purpose was, it was a good thing for her, at least it could help her try to forget him.

After all, it’s not the first time she’s done something like this. She’s very skilled at it.

But, last time she could use Yan Sijue to forget Ye Moran, and this time? Can she really do it?

Mu Yiliang took a deep breath and spoke softly, "Jason, thank you."

He moved his lips, suddenly seeming to have made up his mind, "No need to thank me, I have... ulterior motives..."

"Hmm?"

"Mu, I love you." He said the words softly and naturally, as if the phrase had rolled around on his tongue countless times.

Mu Yiliang was taken aback.

"You probably realized it a long time ago, right? But I’ve never dared to tell you because I was so afraid that once I did, you would distance yourself from me." Jason smiled self-deprecatingly, "You don’t have to say anything, nor do you need to respond to me. I know your answer. I’m not expecting a response, I just... wanted to tell you..."

"Jason, I..." She hesitated for a moment, "I’m sorry, I did sense it early on, but I said nothing and selfishly accepted your dedication..."

"I’m willing." Jason interrupted her, "Besides, even as just a friend, I would do these things for you. Similarly, you’ve helped me a lot, so don’t say such things."

Mu Yiliang was silent for a while, then looked up at him with a faint smile, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome." He flashed a bright smile and suddenly hugged her tightly, "Don’t be sad anymore, no matter what, if you need a shoulder to lean on, I’ll always be more than happy to provide it."

"I know." Mu Yiliang hugged him back tightly, her eyes somewhat warm.

Jason paused, then kissed her forehead, "Let’s go back inside, it’s windy out here on the balcony."

"Okay." She smiled slightly and turned her head, only to see the silhouette of a high heel flash past the curtain being blown by the wind.

Mu Yiliang’s heart tightened.

She walked inside and, sure enough, saw Xiao Qi.

Her eyes were seductive, "I was curious, so I stood there for a while. I didn’t interrupt you, did I?"

Mu Yiliang smiled, "Did you just get back?"

"Yeah." She bit her red lips lightly, "The cute guy I met tonight was quite adorable, but what a shame he’s all looks and no substance, such a letdown!"

Jason frowned slightly, "You should really try to hold back a bit."

Xiao Qi suddenly let out a cold laugh for some reason, "That’s just the kind of person I am! What, am I embarrassing you?"
