CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: HEARTBEAT

When did he start becoming so cautious because of a woman?

With his style, he should have already known everything about her clearly, and then used some even extreme means to keep her by his side.

However, deep down, he was unwilling to do so; he didn’t want to disappoint her.

Thinking of this, Yan Sijue found it somewhat amusing.

He picked up the wine glass Mu Yiliang had just placed on the bay window, drank it all in one go, and then stood up to walk toward her.

"I’ve changed my clothes!" Mu Yiliang’s face carried a hint of excitement.

She had just discovered a wardrobe full of new seasonal clothes, obviously all prepared for her by this man. As a woman, Mu Yiliang had every reason to be a bit thrilled.

"Wait a moment." Yan Sijue smiled slightly, taking out a scarf and wrapping it around her, "It’s raining outside, and it’s very cold."

Mu Yiliang softly responded with an "oh," feeling a warmth in her heart. Watching the man’s serious and attentive profile, she felt a sudden twinge of guilt for some unknown reason.

In fact, this man has never wronged her. Although he was unfaithful to her, their marriage had been abnormal from the start, and he never promised her loyalty. At the very least, he gave her the basic respect and protection a wife deserved.

And as a lover, he was romantic and considerate.

Mu Yiliang didn’t know if he treated every woman like this, but she had to admit, for a certain moment just now, she was genuinely moved.

Perhaps, by staying by his side in this manner, the most dangerous thing wasn’t the possibility of him discovering her true identity someday, but rather, her own heart slipping out of control.

"Let’s go." The man took her hand.

"Mm..." Mu Yiliang obediently followed by his side, quietly exerting a little pressure to hold onto the man’s dry, warm hand.

Yan Sijue took her to a high-end French restaurant, with a dreamy and enchanting riverside view just outside the window.

This seemed to be their first real date. The dinner was perfect — caviar, truffles, seared steak; for Mu Yiliang, who hadn’t eaten all day, these were nothing short of the world’s most delicious foods.

Yan Sijue watched her eat without any pretense and couldn’t help but laugh.

He initially intended to learn about her background through her dining etiquette, but once again, he was let down.

This woman was straightforward to the extreme. If you said she was unrefined, her movements were fluid, elegant, and pleasing. If you said she came from a good background, she didn’t seem to follow the rules at all.

"I’m full!" She put down her knife and fork, and sat back in her chair, patting her belly in satisfaction.

This action made Yan Sijue’s brow twitch violently.

In the past, although he had been around many women, every one of them was meticulous about their image in front of him; none would do such a thing in his presence.

But this woman dared, without caring at all. Yet, when she did it, it wasn’t the least bit rude and actually quite cute.

"Enough?" Yan Sijue didn’t even realize it himself; he found himself increasingly speaking to her in a pampering tone.

Mu Yiliang nodded with a satisfied look: "Where are we going next, Young Master Yan?"

Yan Sijue casually lifted his glass of red wine and said, "To the meeting place."

"To meet with whom?" Mu Yiliang asked curiously.

"An arms dealer."

Mu Yiliang’s eyes widened in an instant!

He really went straight to the climax without any buildup!!
