"I don't know." The man smiled and shook his head.
Mu Yiliang: "..."
"I'm just speculating." Yan Sijue said leisurely, "He's eager to divorce his current wife, maybe to protect her and Gu Qingqian, shifting the risk onto the mother and child."
Mu Yiliang was stunned.
"Is that so?" she murmured.
"From what I know about him, it's highly likely." He chuckled, "You can tell Gu Qingqian, but... it's best to have him cooperate with Gu Benhong, otherwise, this play won't go on."
Mu Yiliang stared at him in a daze.
She suddenly thought, was their separation back then for a similar reason?
Did he do it to protect her?
She remembered Yan Sijue once said that he had a lot of enemies before.
He said he realized that locking himself and his loved ones in a thick fortress wasn't what safety meant.
Xin said there was a time when he hardly stepped out of the house.
Mu Yiliang vaguely felt she was close to uncovering the truth.
