He had quite a few holidays.
Jack lowered his eyes slightly. No one knew what he was thinking about. Mu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. “You… What do you want to say?”
He had a bad premonition as he looked at Jack with a heavy gaze. He had resisted the stress from home; he resisted his thoughts and everything else. Even though he could not be honest with the people around him, he tried his best to make everyone know so that they would not force or pressure him further. He had also asserted his determination.
Even though his father was so angry that he wanted to beat him to death, he had never mentioned a word of giving up. He gritted his teeth. Why? Was it to hear him say he wanted to retreat now?
Jack lifted his head and looked at Mu Yuan. Asian men had youthful looks. Mu Yuan was still young, and he lived in an innocent environment. Even though he was used to seeing life and death in the front lines, he still had a youth’s eyes—clean and bright.
His anger disappeared.
“You fool. What are you angry about?”
Mu Yuan looked at his smile and felt that it was dazzling. However, he released a sigh of relief. Luckily, he did not say he wanted to give up. Jack said softly, “I’m thinking about the future.”
“What’s so bad about the future?”
“The future…” Jack could not express what was so bad about the future. Mu Yuan was in his future, and he was in Mu Yuan’s. This seemed like an extremely beautiful ending.
But… this was not their ending.
He could anticipate that under external pressures, their futures would fall apart. If the Mu Family was accused of being a national traitor because of him and was damned eternally, Mu Yuan would never forgive him in his lifetime.
And he, who caused all of this, was the one who committed the original sin. This was not a responsibility that Mu Yuan should shoulder.
But Mu Yuan did not understand.
He always thought about the positive side of things.
This was what made him so attractive.
“Jack, if you say that you want to give up, I will not look back anymore,” said Mu Yuan. After betting everything on this, if he did not receive his promise, he would never look back forever.
He said this with a sense of anger, hinting at a complete severing of their ties. Jack’s heart hurt, and he held onto his hand. “Okay!”
The huge boulder that was suspended in Mu Yuan’s heart finally dropped. At the same time, he felt despair.
“Right, you have come to City A for such a long time. Why didn’t you go back yet?” asked Mu Yuan. He did not have a lot of holidays like Jack. Did he come with a mission?
“I’m going to leave soon,” said Jack lightly. “There were some matters that held me back.”
Mu Yuan did not suspect him.
After leaving each other, Mu Yuan returned to the military compound. He had not even arrived at the compound when he saw that the compound was being lit. A familiar senior, who held a lot of authority, was guarding his home with a few armed special forces. Mu Yuan’s body became cold, and he rushed into the compound. The few soldiers did not stop him either. Mu Yuan dashed into the living room immediately.
This senior was Ye Ling’s wedding officiator. Strictly speaking, he was a neutral party. Old Commander Zhang was sitting on the sofa. Mu Jianshou and Mu Jianxin were at home. They were considered to be junior to him, and they did not wield as much authority as the commander. When Mu Yuan rushed in, the living room was dead silent.
“Dad, Mom…”
Mu Yuan’s mother’s eyes were red. She lowered her head as she wiped her tears away. Mu Yuan’s body became ice-cold. He did not know what happened, but it must have been something major.
Such a commotion in front of the military compound.
