CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 298: HE WANTS TO BE THE ONLY ONE

"No way!" He said with a cold face, "It’s too dangerous!"

"But uncle, you will protect us, right?" Xiaoze used flattery without hesitation to achieve his goal, "Uncle is so powerful, surely you can keep mommy and me safe, right?"

Mu Yiliang followed with a vigorous nod, winking at Qiao Yebai. Mentally, she praised Xiaoze’s cleverness. There was a part of Qiao Yebai’s personality that was arrogant, so how could he admit that he couldn’t completely guarantee their safety?

Sure enough, Qiao Yebai was at a loss, his temples throbbing a bit excitedly.

"Still no!" How could he easily let her and Yan Sijue meet face to face, "He’s engaged to another woman, what are you, his ex-wife, going to do there? Wait to be laughed at?"

"Not going would be the real joke!" Mu Yiliang was unconvinced, "If I attend openly, doesn’t it show that I’m not holding any grudges?"

"Childish!" Qiao Yebai glared at her.

Mu Yiliang felt stifled!

"Brother..." She had no choice but to change tactics, "I believe you can see that Yan Sijue still has feelings for me."

Qiao Yebai’s face was expressionless.

"Between us, it’s really not what you think. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. I’ve always been the one rejecting him. I was the one who asked for the divorce, and I secretly gave birth to Xiaoze. He only recently found out about Xiaoze’s existence... He never gave up on me, instead, it was me who kept letting him down." As Mu Yiliang spoke, her heart was slightly moved, and her voice became choked.

"I’ve finally faced my feelings, so I absolutely can’t miss him! There’s no other man in this world who loves me as much as he does." Mu Yiliang looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears, "So, I must stop him, brother, if you truly care for me, then fulfill this wish for me."

Qiao Yebai stared at her blankly, lips tightly pressed.

Xiaoze also spoke up at the right time: "Uncle, it’s true. If daddy really wronged mommy, I would never want to acknowledge him. Daddy and mommy can finally be together. I can finally have a family. Uncle, please grant me this, won’t you?"

Xiaoze also blinked out tears.

Mu Yiliang internally gave Xiaoze a thumbs-up!

They had already laid it all out, and if Qiao Yebai were still to disagree, she couldn’t help but question Qiao Yebai’s intentions.

Qiao Yebai looked at the pitiful expressions of the mother and son that were strikingly similar, his heart feeling extremely complicated.

Things had come to this point, any excuse or argument from him was now useless. If he didn’t agree, he would be deemed the villain who broke up two lovers and shattered a child’s hope.

Qiao Yebai knew there would come a day when he couldn’t stop them, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.

He let out a bitter smile, "If I don’t agree, will you come to hate me?"

Mu Yiliang shook her head like a rattling drum, "Brother, you will always be one of the most important people to me."

One of...

But he wanted to be the only one.

Qiao Yebai’s eyes flickered but ultimately covered the layer of gloom.

"I have an invitation here, I’ll take you tomorrow, but you must follow my arrangements," he finally compromised.

"That’s great! Uncle, you’re the best!" Xiaoze excitedly gave him a bear hug, nearly knocking Qiao Yebai to the ground.

He pushed the boy back with a cold face, saying disdainfully, "You’re heavy as a rock!"

Xiaoze didn’t mind at all, only excited about the fact that his beloved parents were finally going to be together.
