The only good news is that her wound has been recovering somewhat well these past few days. At last, the outrageously expensive medicine Qiao Yebai got for her has had some effect.
So, after hesitating for a long time, she mustered up the courage to make a request to Qiao Yebai: "…I want to see Xiaoze."
Qiao Yebai raised his eyes and refused without hesitation: "No."
"But... but I have to go!" She sighed, "I haven't seen him for so long. Xiaoze must be worried sick. I have to go see him in person!"
Qiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, his smile laced with meaning: "Are you really going to see Xiaoze, or to see Yan Sijue?"
Mu Yiliang was taken aback: "…What does he have to do with it?"
Even if she wanted to, she probably wouldn't have the chance because every time she went to see Xiaoze, Yan Sijue would automatically avoid her.
