Chapter 258: Chapter 258: What is She Grieving About

Qiao Yebai quickly saw Ye Moran.

He was still standing in the same spot, blocked by the bodyguard and unable to enter, but his gaze was still foolishly fixed inside.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Yebai felt all the more that saving Mu Yiliang was a very correct move.

He hooked the corners of his lips, with a look that was half a smile: "What is Mr. Ye looking at?"

Ye Moran finally snapped back to reality, his gaze falling on Qiao Yebai.

His pupils slightly contracted, he forced back the bitterness in his heart, and said calmly, "Nothing, just lost composure seeing an old acquaintance at first glance."

"Oh? I didn’t expect you and Yiliang to be old acquaintances? But now she’s my person, I hope Mr. Ye respects the boundaries." Qiao Yebai deliberately spoke ambiguously about his relationship with Mu Yiliang, "I value Mr. Ye highly, and I hope you won’t let this cause any rift."

She’s his person...

Ye Moran closed his eyes briefly, squeezing out a smile: "I understand, I won’t put Mr. Qiao in a difficult position."

"This is what I admire most about Mr. Ye." Qiao Yebai’s eyes flashed, his smile bright and charming.

Facing Qiao Yebai’s warning-laden gaze, what else was unclear to Ye Moran?

Now, he was struggling to protect himself, still having to rely on Qiao Yebai just to temporarily scrape by, how dare he have any delusions? More importantly, if Yiliang still had feelings for him like before, he wouldn’t mind taking risks again, but thinking of her calm eyes...

Ye Moran slowly lowered his head, showing submission and respect.

Qiao Yebai’s smile deepened.

"Mr. Ye, you’ve worked hard, rest assured, I will let you achieve your desires."

Achieve his desires? His greatest wish was for Yiliang to fall in love with him again and be with him... That’s why he could endure humiliation for so many years before.

Now, this wish has become increasingly elusive, and he has no choice but to seek refuge with Qiao Yebai, just to survive.

Ye Moran suppressed the trace of self-mockery in his eyes and turned to leave.

Qiao Yebai watched him leave, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

Ye Moran indeed was someone of caliber, able to be both yielding and determined, planning strategically, yet unfortunately failed at the last hurdle, otherwise, his status would have surely been above his now. Qiao Yebai had no doubt, given the chance, this man could rise again.

But he accepted this man’s allegiance, partly because he was in dire need of talent, partly because he was confident he could control him.

Moreover, now that the man’s weak spot was verified, if he didn’t use it wisely, he wouldn’t be Qiao Yebai.

His Little Yiliang truly was a treasure...besides Jason and Ye Moran, there might even be Yan Sijue...although she’d never admitted it, Qiao Yebai didn’t believe there was nothing between them.

The slight curl of Qiao Yebai’s lips seemed a bit enigmatic.

He returned to Mu Yiliang’s room.

She lay on the bed, looking out of the window, with an inexplicable sadness on her face.

Her long eyelashes, like a frightened butterfly, trembled slightly, stirring people’s hearts like a feather with silent persistency, making them itch.

Her pale pink lips were slightly pressed, turning white under her force.

What was she grieving over?

Was it because of Ye Moran, Xiaoze, Yan Sijue, or...someone he didn’t know?

"Yiliang." He couldn’t help but speak, breaking her solitary thought.

"Hmm?" She looked at him, with a faint smile, "What did you say to Ye Moran?"

"Told him not to covet you." Qiao Yebai looked into her eyes.
