Chapter 1488: Chapter 1478: Unable to Let Go

Mu Yan put down the phone, squatted on the ground, and wept.

She had a feeling he was nearby, but she couldn’t find him.

"Why don’t you go to the hospital and get treated? Whatever you need to say, we can talk after you’re better." Mu Yan looked ahead and shouted loudly.

In her ears, only the sound of passing vehicles disturbed the quiet night momentarily before it fell silent again.

Just like her heart, which was cooling down bit by bit.

Suddenly, she stood up, stared fixedly ahead, remained silent for a minute, and then turned to walk back.

Kong Lizhen came looking for her, and seeing she was safe, her worried mind was eased.

"Yanyan, did you find him?"

She took a glance back, it was desolate; at this time, there were few people on the road.

"I’m not looking anymore." Mu Yan said blandly, "Mom, I’m tired, let’s go back."

"Ah? Oh, okay!" Kong Lizhen initially didn’t react, but seeing Mu Yan’s defeated expression, feared she wasn’t feeling well, considering the fright she had tonight.

Shortly after, Zhuang Zeyang also arrived to take the two back.

"Let’s go to the Zhuang family, Nuannuan hasn’t returned home yet, everyone at home is very worried. I didn’t tell them about tonight’s events, but only seeing her will ease their minds."

Kong Lizhen furrowed her brows, wanting to refuse, but thinking of the elderly lady’s health, she felt a bit reluctant. She looked at Mu Yan and asked, "Yanyan, what do you think?"

"I want to stay with my mom tonight." Mu Yan looked at Zhuang Zeyang, her eyes full of resolve, "Please let my grandmother and aunt know that I’m with my mom tonight, there’s no need for them to worry."

Zhuang Zeyang took a look at her, nodded, and then asked Kong Lizhen, "So where to now?"

"Take us to a hotel, please." Kong Lizhen said.

"Get in the car."

Along the way, Mu Yan seemed exceptionally calm, as if she wasn’t concerned about Jiang Jingheng at all.

She gazed out the window, lost in thought, while the streetlight’s glow in her dark eyes reflected only paleness.

Arriving at the hotel, Zhuang Zeyang remarked, "Staying in a hotel all the time isn’t ideal, better to go home."

"Home? I have no home here." Kong Lizhen’s expression was indifferent.

"Even if you and Shao Yang are divorced, the Zhuang family is still your home, we are still your family." Zhuang Zeyang said in a deep voice.

Kong Lizhen gave him a deep look, lightly said, "Is that so? Well, thank you all."

Before he could speak, she continued, "It’s getting late, Minister Zhuang, you should go rest."

Saying this, she took Mu Yan’s hand and walked towards the hotel lobby.

Zhuang Zeyang stood in place, watching her back, his expression extremely somber.

Due to the night’s scare, Kong Lizhen was unwilling to let Mu Yan leave her sight.

After her shower, she saw Mu Yan sitting on the bed, lost in thought, walked over to sit beside her, and said, "He’s a grown man, he’ll be fine."

"Mm." Mu Yan replied.

Kong Lizhen saw her dismissiveness, but couldn’t say much else, said, "Alright then, get some sleep, it’s already late."

"Mm." Mu Yan lay down on the bed.

Kong Lizhen lay down beside her, looking at her daughter’s face so close to her, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yanyan, you don’t know how much I’ve been looking forward to this moment."

Mu Yan looked at this familiar yet strange face, gradually distancing herself from Jiang Jingheng’s troubles, and asked, "Mom, what happened, what made you like this?"
