Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Still thinking about him?

Although he successfully thwarted Yan Sijue’s intentions, Qiao Yebai felt an inexplicable sense of irritation in his heart.

He managed to stop him because of his identity as Mu Yiliang’s brother—otherwise, he believed that, given Yan Sijue’s character, he wouldn’t have cared at all!

But, how could this identity prevent Mu Yiliang from remaining utterly devoted to Yan Sijue?

***

The moonlight tonight was extremely faint.

On the way back, Yan Sijue sat in the back seat of the car, immersed in an aura that sent chills down one’s spine.

He held his forehead with one hand, while clutching the report Qiao Yebai had given him with the other.

Torn... bleeding...

It turned out to be this serious!

Yan Sijue only felt a bitter taste filling his mouth.

She must hate him intensely! She doesn’t even want to give him a chance to make amends!

If... if it really ended between them...

No!

Yan Sijue quickly cast this thought out of his mind!

Although he had told himself countless times to give up, and countless times told himself she wasn’t worth it, he was very clear that deep down, not for a second had he truly decided to give up.

Even if he couldn’t have her heart, just having her would suffice... so he actually wished this woman would have needs that required her to stay by his side.

Even if it was fake gentleness and compliance, he would accept it.

However, he didn’t even have this opportunity anymore.

If Qiao Yebai is truly her brother, at least, he has the ability to provide her with the safety and protection she needs most. Once something happens, she would never come to him first. Fortunately, Xiaoze is still with him, otherwise the chance to see her would be even slimmer.

"I need all the details about Qiao Yebai." He finally spoke, "A thorough and complete background. I need the Information Security Department to start working immediately! I must have the results within three days!"

Yang Ru respectfully answered and immediately made a call.

He sighed inwardly.

He hadn’t interacted much with Mu Yiliang, but he had long sensed the CEO’s special feelings towards her.

Yet, even he hadn’t expected Yan Sijue’s feelings to run so deep—to the extent that after working alongside Yan Sijue for so many years, Yang Ru never imagined the usually aloof and restrained boss had such a side.

So, it’s clear that Yan Sijue isn’t lacking emotions; he’s just reserved all his feelings for one specific person.

***

The sleeping Mu Yiliang was completely unaware of everything happening outside.

When she woke up, Qiao Yebai had no intention of telling her.

In fact, in the report he gave to Yan Sijue, he didn’t mention Mu Yiliang’s shoulder gunshot wound—though Qiao Yebai was unaware of what transpired between them, if Yan Sijue knew this woman had taken a bullet for him, wouldn’t any misunderstanding and estrangement be resolved? Qiao Yebai certainly wouldn’t make such an unwise move!

"Do you feel any better today?" he sighed softly, touching her forehead.

Mu Yiliang nodded, her expression still somewhat blank.

Qiao Yebai noted this and felt displeased: "What’s the matter? Still thinking about that man? Mu Yiliang, where’s your sense of dignity?"

"I... I have something I must say to him..." Mu Yiliang hesitated for a moment before making the request, "Not now, I will wait until I’m better, but it must be before his engagement..."

Hearing this, Qiao Yebai grew angrier, letting out a cold laugh: "You still want to ruin his engagement party?"
