He's not in now.

Siyi, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

She guessed that the argument she heard just now was between her older brother and the doctors.

"Big brother..."

She pressed one hand to her stomach, took a deep breath, and spoke with great difficulty, "How...how did you get here?"

Ye Zhenghao's face was already pale, and now he saw Siyi sweating profusely even when she was just speaking.

His face darkened further, but he couldn't hide the heartache in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward and picked Siyi up in his arms. "Big brother has come to take you home. Siyi, how are you feeling?"

Being picked up was much more comfortable than standing on her own. Siyi slowly exhaled and weakly forced a smile. "Big brother, I'm fine now. I just hurt my abdomen a little. But please don't take me home. I'm afraid it will scare Mom and Dad."

“Dad is still in the hospital, but if you don’t visit him often, he’ll get suspicious. I haven’t told him about your accident yet, and I don’t want him to worry.” Ye Zhenghao said as he carried Siyi toward the elevator.

Siyi knew that she would definitely be taken away by her older brother today.

Jiang Yan went nowhere, and it seemed she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to him. He always felt empty inside.

But in front of Ye Zhenghao, she naturally dared not show the slightest disappointment.

She nodded and replied, "Brother, the doctor said I'm fine, I just need to rest for a few days. Dad's in the hospital these days, so tell him I've taken on a case and I'm really busy. I'll go see him after I'm done with it."

Just as Ye Zhenghao was about to step into the elevator, he remembered the brothers who had come with him. He turned around and told them, "You guys go back and keep an eye on them. I'll be there after I take Siyi home."

They all nodded and walked towards another elevator entrance.

Ye Zhenghao then said to Siyi, "I've thought about what you said. Don't worry, I'll explain things to Mom and Dad. I'll take you to my place first..."

"No need, brother."

Ye Zhenghao also has his own house outside, but Siyi felt it was too inconvenient, especially since her brother's work hours were very unpredictable. After thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't you take me to my place? Actually, I'm really not in any serious condition. I should be able to get back to normal in two or three days. I also have a lot of documents there. I need to take a good look at them while I'm resting these few days. I have a lawsuit next week."

Hearing her say this, Ye Zhenghao pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Siyi, it's not that your brother doesn't trust you, it's just... how about this, I'll send two people to guard downstairs at your apartment building. They won't bother you, but I'm mainly worried that Jiang Yan will come and harass you."

Siyi bit her lip, glanced at Ye Zhenghao cautiously, and finally spoke softly, "Big brother, actually Jiang Yan... he saved me this time, he's not as bad as you think."

"Those are two different things."

He admitted that Jiang Yan did indeed save Siyi.

However, he definitely had ulterior motives towards Siyi.

No matter what the reason was, he couldn't trust that person.

Moreover, Siyi should no longer have any involvement with him.

They are impossible!

As the eldest brother, he wasn't some old-fashioned person who insisted on interfering with his sister's privacy and freedom, but this matter involved too many people, so he had to intervene. "Siyi, be a good girl and listen to your brother's arrangements. Don't worry, your brother won't let them interfere with your daily life; he'll just protect you secretly."

She knew her older brother wouldn't easily change his mind once he made up his mind, especially since this matter was related to Jiang Yan Hui. Si Yi didn't want to say anything more, and simply hummed in agreement.

However, Ye Zhenghao underestimated Jiang Yanhui. How could two simple policemen possibly stop Jiang Yanhui?

After resting at home for three days, Siyi's wound was not as painful as before.

Now, walking or doing simple movements is no problem for me.

That day, she had just finished reviewing the documents for a lawsuit when she took out her phone to call her father, who was in the hospital. After exchanging a few words, she put her phone away and went to the kitchen to get some water. However, she found that she had run out of bottled water. Thinking that there might be a few bottles of iced water in the refrigerator, she opened it and found three bottles. She casually took one out, unscrewed the cap, and before she could even drink it, there was a loud bang from the kitchen window.

She was startled, and the water bottle in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, spilling water all over the floor.

Actually, she hasn't been sleeping well these past few nights, and she keeps having recurring dreams about that day. Although she's not in a state of extreme paranoia, her nerves are still on edge.

In broad daylight, such a loud noise startled her. A scream was on the tip of her tongue when she glanced around and saw a familiar figure at the window.

"Jiang Yan, come back!"

It was him! Siyi stared in disbelief as the camel-colored figure slid open her kitchen window and easily leaped in. She couldn't believe it. "Yi, are you crazy? How could you, how could you climb up here?"

Jiang Yan was wearing a camel-colored trench coat today, which made him look even more dashing. However, his expression was not very good, especially after hearing Si Yi's words. He snorted disdainfully, "Why can't I climb up?"

"This is the fifth floor!"

How did this guy even climb up here? And didn't my brother say he had people downstairs? How did he get up here so easily?

"so what?"

He raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with sarcasm, "You think you can stop me by putting two useless guys downstairs? Sisi, you're heartless! Are you planning to hide from me forever just because I haven't come looking for you, huh?"

He had to go out for a while that day, and when he came back, she had been taken away by Ye Zhenghao. He was naturally furious.

But when she thought that Ye Zhenghao was still her brother, and that it wouldn't work for her to keep pressing him for his life, she didn't keep asking him to come back.

He had called her countless times in the past two days, but that damned woman had either kept her phone off or wouldn't answer.

Siyi knew exactly what he meant. She had indeed deliberately ignored his calls these past few days, simply because… she felt she needed to calmly reflect. She felt that the illusion she had about Jiang Yanhui was growing stronger with each passing day.

It was a kind of illusion that she was being pampered by him. The closer she got, the stronger the feeling became. She didn't know what was wrong with her, or rather, what was wrong with Jiang Yan?

She dared not think too much. Every time she thought of him, she felt that she could no longer control her heartbeat and breathing. But when she thought of her father lying in the hospital, and her older brother who was furious whenever Jiang Yanhui was mentioned, she could not bring herself to take another step forward.

"Why don't you speak?"

With a gentle tug, she was pulled into his arms. The familiar masculine scent was right in front of her, and his hands were already around her waist. His obsidian-like pupils shone brightly. "From now on, you're not allowed to ignore my calls, understand?"

Siyi's hands instinctively landed on his chest. Before she could say anything, he lowered his head and took her fingers into his mouth. She felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and the touch of his fingertips instantly reached her heart. Her voice trembled as she said, "You... don't do this."

"What's wrong?"

He didn't take it seriously, released her fingers, moved closer to her cheek, and smiled wickedly. Every word he spoke carried a power that could pierce her heart, "Baby, are you really going to keep hiding from me like this?"

"...I didn't!" she wanted to retort loudly, but the words that came out lacked conviction.

Jiang Yan chuckled softly, "Really not? Okay, come with me somewhere."

Upon hearing this, Siyi looked up, only to unexpectedly meet his intense gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes instinctively darted away. "Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you get there, won't you?"

He spoke mysteriously as he pushed her toward the apartment entrance, saying, "I've calculated the time, and your wound is almost healed. You can go out and move around now."

Siyi looked outside and saw that it was already getting dark. Where was he going to take her now?

She hesitated for a moment, "I'm not going, Jiang Yan, don't push me, I... I have to go to work the day after tomorrow, and I still have some documents to review."

He didn't give her a chance to struggle. He simply picked her up and carried her into the elevator without saying a word.

Siyi angrily punched his chest a few times, but her fists had no effect on him. He simply took her to the parking lot, carried her to the back seat of a black Bentley, where a driver was waiting. Jiang Yan restrained Siyi's hands and feet and instructed the driver, "Drive, take the same route back."

As the car slowly drove away, Siyi suddenly remembered the two people her brother had arranged. "Jiang Yanhui, my brother clearly said there were his people downstairs..."

He scoffed dismissively, "Those two think they can stop me? Don't you think too highly of me?"

"What did you do to them?"

Jiang Yan replied casually, "It's nothing serious. Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding citizen and I won't go against the police."

Siyi couldn't help but scoff. This guy doesn't go against the police, but he always likes to go against his boss!

Along the way, she asked several times where she was going, but Jiang Yan didn't tell her at first. Finally, probably because she was getting impatient with her questions, she awkwardly said, "I'll take you to eat!"

Siyi was still wondering, why did taking her out to eat have to be so mysterious?

But when he got off the car, he found that he had brought him to Jinzuo!
