Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Under Some Kind of Spell

The weather is gradually warming up.

After being forced to stay in bed for half a month, Mu Yiliang’s wound has finally almost healed.

However, the last incident still left her with some negative effects, and the doctor remains unsatisfied with her recovery.

But Mu Yiliang doesn’t take it too much to heart. At least now she can hold a cup with her left hand and handle a bowl, and she feels quite content.

It is currently afternoon, warm outside. Mu Yiliang draws the curtains and leans by the window to soak up the sun.

Unconsciously, sleepiness comes over her, and she closes her eyes.

Qiao Yebai pushes the door open and walks in, just in time to see her peaceful sleeping face.

Her thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow over her eyes, her complexion looking youthful with a healthy flush from the good rest she’s had recently. She sleeps so peacefully, defenseless, with her mouth slightly open and a suspiciously glistening liquid at the corner of her lips.

Yet, this very scene leaves Qiao Yebai standing there, stunned.

He looks at her face in a daze, as if time has stopped flowing.

When he comes back to his senses, he hears only the uncontrolled beating of his own heart.

Qiao Yebai’s expression darkens.

During this period, he has tried his best to limit the number of times he visits her, but the more he tries, the more he unconsciously finds himself in her room.

He even finds himself inexplicably wanting to personally feed her when he sees her struggling to eat with one hand.

Qiao Yebai doesn’t know what’s come over him. Or perhaps, what kind of magical power does this woman possess that leaves him so restless?

She is indeed beautiful, but Qiao Yebai, having been in power for a long time, has seen many women of similar caliber.

Her personality is not likable either, extremely stubborn, never listening to him, with no hint of gentleness or obedience.

Yet, there’s an indescribable charm about this woman that makes her hard to let go of.

Perhaps the most touching thing for him is her unwavering devotion to Yan Sijue. What he desires most is not the woman herself, but her feelings for Yan Sijue.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yebai’s expression becomes even more gloomy.

He takes a blanket, walks over, and covers her with it.

Mu Yiliang sleeps lightly, so she soon wakes up, and without any concealment, yawns, looking exceptionally lazy.

"You’re here." She greets lazily.

"Did I disturb you?" Qiao Yebai sits down beside her.

"No, the sun is just too comfortable." She stretches contentedly!

"...Don’t move!" Qiao Yebai’s eye twitches involuntarily, "Put your arm down nicely!"

Mu Yiliang sheepishly places her left hand on the windowsill, muttering, "I’m not that fragile."

Qiao Yebai ignores her, saying to himself, "I’ve sent Jason and the others to City X, which is my territory. They’re very safe there, so rest assured."

"Hmm." Mu Yiliang nods, then suddenly remembers something, "You initially came to City A because of Jason’s plea for help, so you’re bound to go back eventually, right?"

"Of course." Qiao Yebai pats her head, "But don’t worry, I’ll take you with me."

"...But I don’t want to go." Mu Yiliang says calmly.

Qiao Yebai’s face darkens: "You have no one here. What will you do here? Come to City X with me, it’ll be easier for me to take care of you. I won’t feel at ease leaving you here alone!"

Mu Yiliang responds confidently, "Xiaoze is still here!"

"I’m afraid Xiaoze is just your excuse!" Qiao Yebai says coldly.
