Chapter 101: The Fifth Year of the New Year
But he also knew that the more he protected her, the more danger she would be in, so he chose to let her go free.
Losing someone you cherish is unbearable, but he didn't want this feeling.
"Is it because of the Australian thing that wasn't handled properly?" Gu Ruo knew that Mu Chen's management was absolutely cautious and careful, and couldn't leak a single message to the outside world.
Gu You didn't know what was going on and could only ask like this.
The Mu family is involved in both the black and white paths, and they have also parted ways with their father. On the surface, they are still part of the Mu family, but secretly, they have nothing to do with each other.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back this time—" Mu Chen said these words with a sense of powerlessness, not fear, but concern and reluctance.
If it weren't for Lan Ya, he would have died long ago. But now Mu Chen cherishes his life very much and feels extremely lucky to have met Lan Ya.
So for her sake, he absolutely had to be safe.
"So troublesome, must you go personally?" When Gu Rou heard this sentence, her heart couldn't help but ache for Mu Chen.
He grew up in such an environment from a young age, and compared to Lan Ya, Mu Chen suffered thousands of times more.
He must have had many wounds that had dissipated, he must have had many hidden sides, and he must have had a dark side, so she worried whether Lanyah and Mochen's relationship could last forever.
But she saw Mu Chen rush back from Australia just because of Lan Ya's fainting spell, and she sincerely hoped that the two of them could be fine.
But now Mu Chen told her that he didn't know if he could come back.
Gu Yu wasn't worried for nothing. Lan Ya would definitely be heartbroken if she knew Mu Chen had left. If Mu Chen was really gone, Gu Yu didn't dare imagine how Lan Ya would be.
"It's not the first time I've experienced these things, it's just that this time the people involved are different." Mu Chen sighed, yes, it's not the first time he's been through this, what he fears is not those who will hurt him, but those who love him getting hurt.
But this time his opponent, he didn't have the confidence to win, even if he had been demanding of himself since childhood. His opponent was not to be underestimated either, and it was basically his domain there. To win there would really not be easy.
"Mu Shao, aren't you going to talk to Ya Ya?" Gu Rou didn't try to persuade him and knew that her words wouldn't have much effect. When it came to Mu Chen's decisions, no one could sway him or change his mind.
Now Gu Ruo just wants to let Lan Ya persuade Mu Chen, so that Mu Chen won't go to Australia and won't experience those life-and-death situations.
"Don't tell her, if I don't come back it's a broken promise, she doesn't need to wait for me. If I do come back, I'll explain everything to her! But Aunt Lan, not a word about this to her before things are over." Mu Chen's face suddenly turned cold, and the warm living room felt icy and bone-chilling.
Gu Yu stopped herself from saying what she wanted to say. She knew she was being too square, but she really was worried about Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's words made Gu Rou dare not disobey, but thinking about it later, Lan Ya would definitely blame her if she found out.
It's good that Mu Chen didn't get into trouble; if she did, she would also blame herself.
"What are you talking about so early in the morning?" Lan Ya came out of her room wearing pajamas, looking dazed and stretched lazily.
"Yaya, get up, hurry to wash and then have the first breakfast of this year." Gu Rou suddenly became joyful with a happy New Year's arrival, her face radiating happiness.
Lan Ya smiled and nodded, then ran back into her room.
The door was locked from the inside, and Lan Ya felt a sharp pain in her heart for an instant, her eyes blurred with tears as she slowly walked towards the bathroom.
She was so afraid that she would cry out if she made a sound, so she forced a smile and nodded, running back to her room.
