CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 310: THE ADVANCING YILIANG (10)

His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "It’s better now, thank you for your concern."

Mu Yiliang had already walked up to him, and she had to slightly raise her head. Being this close, she could finally see his complexion clearly and noticed the faint shadows under his eyes.

She felt as if something was blocking her throat, and a mist began to rise in front of her eyes. In the next second, under the man’s startled gaze, she threw herself into his arms!

Yan Sijue was utterly stunned, instinctively wrapping his arms around her, his expression still blank.

"Can you not go through with this engagement..." As soon as Mu Yiliang spoke, tears started to flow uncontrollably, "Don’t marry someone else, I can’t bear it..."

She had rehearsed these words in her heart countless times, fearing she would never have the chance to say them out loud.

The man’s body remained stiff, and he did not respond to her. However, his heartbeat accelerated and Mu Yiliang, hearing the sound of his heart, suddenly found it impossible to endure the grievances that had built up for so long.

"Do you still refuse to believe my feelings? Tell me, what will it take for you to believe me! Aren’t you always the most self-assured? Didn’t you think I should just like you? Why don’t you believe it now!" she choked out, "Don’t get engaged to someone else, if you... if you dare, I will... I will..."

"Okay."

Mu Yiliang, choking on her words, could barely speak, yet suddenly heard his voice from above her head.

A single word, faintly spoken, seemed extremely calm while simultaneously containing vast amounts of emotion.

Mu Yiliang was stunned. She raised her head, but all she could see was his tightly set jaw.

His arms gradually tightened, squeezing her so hard that she almost struggled for breath.

"I said okay."

He spoke again, his voice hoarse beyond belief.

Mu Yiliang suddenly couldn’t hold back any longer, her tears fell like rain, quickly soaking his crisp shirt and perfectly knotted tie.

The body in his embrace was warm and soft, and Yan Sijue held her tightly, almost believing he was dreaming.

But the warmth of her tears seeped through his shirt to his chest, slowly burning into his heart. This warmth was so real that it left him without an excuse to doubt.

Why had she dressed up for this occasion? He had considered countless possibilities, but never dared to think it was for him, to stop his engagement with someone else. He told himself this possibility was slim to none, yet deep inside, he couldn’t help but hope.

In truth, he had already been wavering for a long time! In her persistent determined glances, in her repeated sorrowful tears, he almost believed without hesitation, yet his rational mind was still restraining, negating, urgently seeking more concrete proof.

But in this very moment, she had finally taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms!

There she was, in his embrace, fitting him perfectly, as if every void and flaw in his heart had been filled. All anger, doubt, resentment, and regret suddenly became insignificant.

How could he not believe?

Yan Sijue lowered his head, found her lips, and kissed her fiercely!

Mu Yiliang’s face was covered in tears, making her lips wet and cold, trembling. The man felt a sharp pang in his heart, wishing nothing more than to merge her into his very being, to completely fuse together with her!
