Chapter 53: Chapter 53: I’m Here

Mu Yiliang had no choice but to take the jewelry box with trepidation: "Thank you, Grandpa, I won’t let you down..."

Instantly, all eyes were focused on her. As the most embarrassed person present, Mu Yiliang was now the center of attention...

"Thank you, Grandpa." Although Yan Sijue’s expression darkened for a moment, his usual composure quickly returned as he put his arm around Mu Yiliang and thanked the Old Man.

"Take good care of your wife!" the Old Man sternly instructed.

Yan Sijue paused for a moment, then softly said, "I will, Grandpa."

Only then did the Old Man smile, inviting everyone to continue chatting and drinking.

The banquet continued, but for some, they no longer had the heart to drink even a sip.

For example, Yan Yaoting and Yan Yaohun, and Yan Feiyu.

The first two were shocked and enraged! But Yan Feiyu was excited!

As soon as the Old Man finished speaking, Yan Feiyu immediately came over, looking at the jewelry box in Mu Yiliang’s hand with admiration: "I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect the Old Man would give you this box! Yiliang, you really are Sijue’s lucky star!"

Mu Yiliang laughed dryly. Before this, her nominal father-in-law probably didn’t even want to look at her. Now because of this jewelry box, his attitude made a 180-degree turn.

"Dad, Yiliang is not feeling well, I’ll accompany her to rest over there," Yan Sijue suddenly spoke up.

"Of course, of course!" Yan Feiyu immediately nodded.

Mu Yiliang indeed didn’t feel well at the moment.

She was still racking her brains on how to get a divorce from Yan Sijue. After getting this set of jewelry, perhaps the only way would be for her to be pregnant with another man’s child and for the news to spread everywhere, then Yan Sijue might divorce her...

The plan was disrupted, and Mu Yiliang was very upset. But with such unexpected events, she had no choice.

"Are you okay?" In the corner, Yan Sijue asked her softly.

"Not really..." Mu Yiliang weakly replied, "This set of jewelry... what should I do with it..."

"Keep it." Yan Sijue glanced at her, his tone so indifferent, as if what she held in her hand wasn’t jewelry once worn by Empress Dowager Cixi, but trinkets bought from a street stall.

However, speaking of which, Empress Dowager Cixi’s stuff, wasn’t it dug out from a tomb...

"What does Grandpa really mean?" Mu Yiliang asked, looking at him inquisitively.

Yan Sijue chuckled softly: "The Old Man’s greatest pleasure is making sure no one can guess his thoughts. Those who try to guess are played with horribly."

"But..."

"Don’t worry, I’m here." The man casually reassured her.

Mu Yiliang suddenly froze.

I’m here.

All her life, it was the first time she heard a man say something like that to her. Even though she inexplicably found herself in the position of a weakling, the feeling of having someone standing in front of her wasn’t bad at all...

Although she knew this was just a typical piece of comfort, lacking any romantic undertones, at this moment, a ripple still stirred in Mu Yiliang’s heart.

Mu Yiliang was still in a daze, when she suddenly heard the sound of high heels.

When she turned her head, she saw Su Yan.

This woman, whom she didn’t know when returned to the banquet hall, was still wearing a cheongsam, her allure even more striking, like a flower in full bloom, magnificently radiant.
